Board approves new budget over Keith’s objections By Barbara Hazle Post & Voice Staff Writer At the annual budget public hearing during the June 5 Pender County Board of Commissioners meeting, Commissioner Demetrice Keith expressed her frustration with the proportion of funds going to District 4. “T his whole budg et is skewed the eastern side of the county, “said Keith. “Out of a $55 million dollar budget my district is getting $8,200. In my opinion this is not a fair tax representation to that community. Nobody complained about the tax increase, they pay their taxes. We aren’t offering them anything.” Chairman George Brown noted that none of the three entities Keith had concerns

Heroin growing problem
Violent crime down in Pender By Barbara Hazle Post & Voice Staff Writer Pender County Sheriff Carson Smith presented an update on his department at the request of the Pender County Board of Commissioners at the June 6 board meetingmeeting. Using graphs to chart out the trends for not only the state, but surrounding counties, Sheriff Carson noted that Pender County per capita has consistently been under the average state crime rate. “We have our fair share of property crime,” Smith said. “But as far as violent crime we are well below the state average.” Smith also noted that in the cases where a violent crime has been committed, the department has a high arrest rate. “It is often someone the vic-

Pender County will receive $1.62 million in North Carolina Education Lottery funds soon.

tim knows so the perpetrator can be identified and found. With property crime it is unseen, harder to track down the criminal so we don’t have as high an arrest percentage.” He also said that car burglaries often came in streaks, and encouraged the public to lock their cars even if they are parked in driveways. Tools, ZTR lawn mowers and items left on construction sites also were attractive targets for theft. Sheriff Smith discussed drug use in the county saying that the increased use of heroin had “come out of nowhere” in the county during recent months. He did not have exact numbers of deaths
because not all potential overdose cases are examined by the county, but he put the approximate amount at seven from the end of last year. “Heroin use is the most problematic situation for the county at this time. We can get to a call and the person is already dead directly associated with heroin. I’ve never seen that before. Heroin filled the gap of prescription pills because of the crackdown on pill dispensing and control by doctors and pharmacies. Heroin is much cheaper to get compared to what pills on the street cost now,” said Smith. The 911 system handled 29,728 phone calls in 2015. In early August, Smith expects

Budget
Continued from page 1A distinctive, Currie has land, that’s how Kiwanis Park was started, with a donation of land for a county park, and Willard Outreach is getting funds.� Brown said. “The county is not just going to fund a group – the board needs to have a partnership and we brought up possible solutions. We have discussed this during the budgeting process and you don’t want to hear it.� The board and town manager also noted that per capita the budget was not skewed and that all residents of the county were able to utilize any county park for personal or sport related use regardless of the location. Having met the objective set forth by the board of no additional tax increases, the budget tops out at $55.4 million, with the plan spending approximately $347,000 less than the prior fiscal year. Included in the budget are seven new positions in the Sheriff ’s department that

Pender County Schools will receive an additional $1 million dollars, less than a third that had been requested, with an increase of $250,000 added to the capital budget. There is also a 1.5 percent cost of living wage increase for county employees and an increase of $30,000 per beach town for future beach renourishment projects. The budget passed with a 4-1 vote with Commissioner Keith casting the nay vote. No school money Brown closed the meeting stating that while he voted on the budget, he would approve no release of the funds for the schools unless he received the final numbers on how much the mediation cost the taxpayers approximately one year ago. “I have asked the county school district for the final amount several times and it has not been forthcoming. Until I get that simple information, as one commissioner, I will not vote for any money to go to the schools,� Brown said.

Out and About with Pender Tourism By Tammy Proctor Pender County Tourism Director Special to the Post & Voice Memorial Weekend is the official kick-off to summer. It’s time for tourists to arrive at our beaches. By Monday evening, many of them are looking for something else to do. They are either too antsy to sit on the beach or too sunburned. When they are asking questions about things to do and see in Pender County, our frontline staff of waitresses, waiters, and front desk check-
in staff are extremely important. Folks, if you don’t have an answer, tell visitors to pick up a 2016 Visitor Guide or check out visitpender.com. I was dining with friends at a local restaurant when I overheard a customer ask his server, “So what else is there to do here?” I darned near choked on my meal when I heard her say, “Ah, nothing. It’s pretty boring.” Had I not been choking to death, I probably would have grabbed my heart Fred Sanford style and shouted to the heavens, “I’m comin’
Elizabeth.” What do you mean there’s nothing to do?! Have you ever surfed? Have you ever kayaked the Intracoastal Waterway? Have you ever fished from one of our piers? Have you been to Missiles and More Museum, Penderlea Homestead, or Moores Creek National Battlefield? Have you ever watched Under the Dome, the Secret Life of Bees, or a myriad of other movies and television shows – which were filmed right here? Have you heard we have a fantastic sea turtle hospital – the North
Carolina Visitor Attraction of the Year?! And those are just a few attractions. I can go on. Restaurant owners, hoteliers, and other managers of frontline staff, if you would like to bring Pender County Tourism to your office for a quick boot camp on how to answer these questions, please call us. I don’t want to die choking to death – it creates a poor dining experience for everyone around! Call us at 910-259-1536. We won’t take much time. But we will educate your staff.

What to do with the kids this summer?
Poplar Grove nature camps begin June 21 By Lori Kirkpatrick Post & Voice Staff Writer Poplar Grove Plantation will offer half-day summer nature camps starting June 21. The camps will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays through July 14 from 9 a.m. until noon, and will include a snack. Designed for rising first through fifth graders, the camp will be offered on a dropin basis; allowing parents to register their children dayto-day or week-to-week, or to pick and choose based on the child’s interest. The cost will be $15 per child per half-day, and groups are limited to 15 children. Felicia Greene, Director of School Programs at Poplar Grove, said, “This is the third year of half-day summer camps at Poplar Grove Plantation. At the inception, we wanted to offer a morning of fun for young students, that also gave caregivers a morning of rest or a chance to run errands without the kids in tow. Actually, we were surprised at the number of grandparents who have enrolled their visiting grandchildren.” June 21 will kick off the series with a mor ning of Turtlerrific activities with Mr. Charlie Baker. Students will discover and learn about turtles that live on the land and in the water. The focus
will be on their habitats, life cycles, different types and fun facts. There will be time for participants to observe, feed and try catching turtles from the bridge at the pond. Afterwards the kids can make a paper turtle craft to take home. June will also include activities such as Peanut Planting. Students will paint their own clay pots, help plant peanuts in the Poplar Grove garden, and plant a peanut in the painted pot to take home. June 28 will feature Sights, Sounds and Discoveries Along the Nature Trail. The kids will spend the morning discovering the plant life, animals and insects that inhabit the various layers of our local forest. A guided walk will take the children into the Nature Preserve for a morning
of discovery. For the kids who don’t enjoy the woods as much as others, there will be some days that will appeal to them. The Fourth of July day will feature science experiments that involve messy explosions and art projects. It will be a Frogtastic time on July 5, as the class learns about the life cycle, diet and predators of our frogs and toads. Then the kids will make a paper frog craft, and walk to the bridge to look for frogs in their natural habitat. Nature’s Mysteries: Tracks and Signs will be the topic July 7. Children will learn about the creatures that inhabit our woods, about the various levels of the forest they live in, what they eat and then look at their tracks. There will be a walk into the Nature

year (2015-16) these funds from the tax increase which are not needed to go to debt service on the new school bond have been set aside to be used to assist with the startup and operational costs on the new school projects as they are completed. “That money is a cushion to help us to have the money when the new schools open. We didn’t increase taxes enough to cover operational costs,” Woodruff said. “We need that cushion to work our
way into the increased operational costs.” The bond sale for the new school bond will begin this week, with about $24 million in bonds being sold. “We will have a debt payment that starts later in the new fiscal year and will use the tax increase revenue starting July 1 to make those payments. Once all the bond are sold for the new school bond, we will have an annual payment of about $5 million,” Woodruff said.
Preserve to find evidence of local wildlife. July 12 will feature Flying Lessons, when students will head into the woods for a look at the birds, bats, and insects flying all around. Campers will make “treats” to take home for their flying friends. The final camp will center around the 19th century barnyard and all of its furry inhabitants. The kids can help feed and brush the bar nyard crew, learn about their life cycles and personalities, and help clean the stalls. “Topics change daily, and most of them revolve around nature. We are fortunate to be adjacent to the Abbey Nature Preserve, which provides a wide range of plant, insect, and animal life to observe. I recently had the privilege of leading a school group into the preserve. As we entered, a local 2nd grader commented that she had never been in the woods before. We hope to inspire and develop a love of nature for all the young people who join us,” said Greene.

school bond debt payment. North Carolina General Statute mandates a portion of the proceeds of the North Carolina State Lottery Fund is transferred to the Public School Building Capital Fund. Counties may use the funds they receive for school construction projects and to pay for debts associated with school construction projects. According to Pender County Board Member Kenneth Lanier, the Pender County Board of Education has always used lottery funds to repay school bond debt. In an email June 3 to commissioners, County Manager Randell Woodruff told the board lottery funds can either be used for capital projects or to go towards debt service as most counties do. Currently all the lottery funds received by Pender County are being used to pay the existing school bond debt service for the 20052007 school bonds. Woodruff also said besides the lottery funds, the county is appropriating an additional general fund allocation of $2.4 million to cover the existing debt service requirement for Pender School debt in the 2016-17 fiscal year beginning July 1. This $2.4 million will not be used for the new $75 million bond projects – it is debt service on the 2005-2007 school bonds. Once the debt payments begin during the 201617 fiscal year on the new $75 million bond projects, there will be an annual payment of approximately $5 million that will be covered by the recent tax increase.

Lack of flood monitoring Jefferson Weaver still a Pender problem Everybody wants Miss Rhonda
Flooding is often an unpleasant surprise to folks who have only recently discovered our county. From the Black River to the west, down and across the Northeast, to the sounds, there’s nothing that can be done to prevent high waters from rising. Building and development rules are about all that can be done in coastal areas, due to the vagaries of tides (especially astronomically high tides that seem to always occur during big rain events.) Limiting nonpermeable surfaces such as paved roads and parking lots, while good for the environment, only affects a small percentage of flood-prone areas. Environmental restrictions protecting waterways that drain develNot everyone is willoped properties can only go so ing to take the time to far as well, without completely study weather forecasts, eliminating development. and many don’t have the Not everyone is willing to personal history that lets take the time to study weather forecasts, and many don’t have many of our residents the personal history that lets know when it’s time to many of our residents know head for high ground.. when it’s time to head for high ground. They count on county emergency personnel to let them know when the water is going to be worrisome. At the same time, Pender only has four official flood stations serving the entire county. A previous Emergency Services director laboriously crunched historical data to create a kind of “cheat sheet” that lets officials know that when the water rises to this level at Point A, then Road B downstream is going to be even deeper underwater, so the folks in Subdivision C have a certain number of days to prepare. The system works using the National Weather Service monitoring stations, and it works well – but there could and should be much more. Development has long since spread from the beaches across the tidal areas to western Pender. Many communities in the “other side” of the county have serious flooding woes, but with most of the monitoring systems being located in the north, south and east, the only notification western residents have is when the monitor on the Black River at Tomahawk registers a rise. There’s a lot of water that flows into the Black between Tomahawk and Currie, and when the channel is overwhelmed, it’s got to go somewhere. Although it often seems like the media try to overwhelm and frighten us with too much information, a few days extra warning might give folks a chance to make preparations. Even just one more monitor could make a major difference, especially to those who live on long, private roads with no state maintenance. The simplest solution might still be additional flood monitors.

Wikipedia explains that it is generally a negative feeling, based on the sum of a person’s life experiences, and is the struggle between freedom and responsibility. Youthful enthusiasm and innocence have matured at the hands of a lifetime of experiences, and I am now fully prepared to modify the notion of ‘love your neighbor as yourself ’ to ‘love him, but keep a close watch on him, who is rumored to be both Unitarian and a liberal.’ You can’t keep ‘em out of the neighborhood, but you can keep your eyes open. How will the ultimate conflagration, apocalypse, tsunami, hurricane, or cultural breakdown present itself ? Disaster ‘experts’
make plans for just about everything conceivable. “Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold,” wrote the poet William Butler Yeats, in 1919, in “The Second Coming”. Will the next disaster be man-made, caused deliberately, or allowed to unfold by neglect? Or maybe terrorists of all kinds, domestic and foreign, will wreak havoc on the citizenry. Bridges and dams can collapse, towers can fall, deteriorating roads, utilities, water supplies and waste facilities no longer get proper maintenance and fail rapidly. Drought, flood, pests and disease may affect our ability to produce enough food. Weather catastrophes can include water rising from creeks and rivers that inundate, water falling from the clouds, snow and ice loads on structures, trees and power lines. Outbreaks of poisoned water and air, disease organism tainted water, enough to lockdown and isolate whole sections of major cities and heavily populated centers. What if a computer ‘virus’, inserted in code that regulates the country’s power grid, maliciously attacks

Note—this one is almost exactly a year old, but sometimes, a columnist gets it right the first time. We were enjoying one of those days where our friends loan us their kids, when a disaster of unimaginable consequences occurred. Little Josey took a tumble as she was chasing her older sister across the playground, and for just a moment, I was faced with the thing that frightens even the hairiest, burliest men—a crying child. Josey’s brimming blue eyes peered up at me from the playground. Defying the logic exercised by other kids her age, she raised her arms to me, tiny little hands outstretched. “Want Miss Rhonda,” she said. I dutifully turned her over to my wife; Rhonda smiled, and the scraped knee was suddenly no longer a big deal. My wife has always had such a healing touch; whilst I doubt my own skills as a father, Miss Rhonda would have made a wonderful mother. She has the tone of voice, the touch, the compassion I’ve seen in both her own mom and my own. It’s one reason Rhonda is who she is. I was hurting, for a variety of reasons, when we met; none of those matter
Jefferson Weaver now, but she had a way of healing those hurts as well. My wife has always had that skill. This is not to say she hasn’t had her defeats amongst her victories. Her tears have flowed and her voice cracked when we’ve lost young kittens and old dogs, or young wild things and tired old horses, or young friends and old family. Whether they were hopeless cases or those which inexplicably turn bad, she has always been the one to stay up all night, feeding and cleaning sick critters every two hours, or putting up with the confused anger and rancor that come with cognitive disorders, or the plain lack of justice that is
sometimes a part of life. When we said goodbye to her old gelding Fella, she was there beside me, wielding a shovel through the heat of the day and into the evening; she did the same when we buried beloved dogs and cats. When we buried my parents, Rhonda attended every detail that didn’t need my particular attention. Rare has been the time when someone called her and asked for help—with an elderly parent, a young child, an orphaned critter or the runt of the litter—when Rhonda has not stepped up to the plate to help. I remember distinctly one evening when she had gone to town for just a quick grocery store run and to get something I needed to fix my truck. Several hours after she left, as I was beginning to worry, she called, apologizing. She had come up on a wreck, and noticed a little kid beside the road, bawling his eyes out. There was no question what she had to do—stranger or no, she approached the child, who was awash in fear and chaos in a world of red and blue lights, strangers and loud voices— and Rhonda made friends. She stayed with him at the hospital until other members of the family arrived;

Deciding what to do in retirement Dear Savvy Senior, I just turned 62 and am financially prepared for retirement, but I’m less certain about how to spend my time after leaving work. Can you recommend some resources or tools that can help me with this? Feeling Lost Dear Lost, This is a great question! Many people, when asked what they want to do when they retire, will say they want a mix of travel, play and meaningful work. Specifics, however, tend to be few and far between. But planning how to fill your time in retirement is just as important as the financial planning aspect. Here are some resources that can help. Online tools A good starting point to figuring out what you want to do in retirement is at LifeReimagined.aarp.org. This is an AARP website (you don’t have to be a member to use it) that can help you rediscover what truly matters to you and focus on what you really want to do. It offers a variety of online exercises and programs that will hopefully spark some ideas and give you inspiration. Encore.org is another good resource that helps people who are seeking work that matters in the second half of life. Click on “Resources” on the menu bar and download their free Encore Guide, and consider purchasing a copy of their “Encore Career Handbook” (available at Amazon.com or BN.com for $10.50) by Marci Alboher, which is excellent. Also check out the free
E-book called The Age for Change, which can help answer the question: “What now?” You can download this at ComingOfAge.org. And, if you’ve never taken a personality test before, this too can be a good tool to help you figure out what type of activities or work you’d like to do. A good option for this is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator assessment, which you can take online at MBTIcomplete.com for $50. Personalized guidance If you want personalized help, you can also get one-onone guidance from a retirement or life planning coach. Some resources that can help you here include LifePlanningForYou.com, which has a free exercise called EVOKE to help identify a path that might suit you best in later life, and provides a directory to registered life planners to help guide you. Also see: RetirementOptions.com, which will connect you with a retirement coach who will give you an assessment to help reveal your attitudes and opinions about work, family life, relationships, leisure time and more. And the LifePlanningNetwork.org, which is a group of professionals and organizations that help people navigate the second half of life. You can also find life and retirement coaching at the International Coach Federation at CoachFederation.org.
Coaching sessions typically range from $75 to $300 or more, and usually require four to six sessions to get the most out of the process. Other resources If you’re primarily interested in volunteering, finding a retirement job or even starting a business when you retire, there are lots of resources that can help here too. For volunteering, PointsOfLight.org, VolunteerMatch.org and SeniorCorps. gov and help you search for opportunities, or even create one on your own. To look for job ideas, sites like RetirementJobs.com, Workforce50.com and RetiredBrains.com list thousands of jobs nationwide from companies that are actively seeking older workers. FlexJobs.com can help you find good work-at-home jobs. CoolWorks.com and BackDoorJobs.com are great for locating seasonal or summer jobs in great places. Or to search for freelance opportunities in a wide variety of areas, there’s Elance.com and Guru.com. And if you’re interested in starting a new business, the U.S. Small Business Administration offers tips, tools and free online courses to entrepreneurs that are 50 and older at SBA.gov/content/50entrepreneurs, as does the nonprofit association Score at Score.org. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Graduate and Commence I love graduations, and find it fascinating that we use the words graduation and commencement interchangeably, though their meanings are quite different, they are still one in the same. Graduation involves the receiving or conferring of an academic degree or diploma. Commencement is a beginning or start, synonyms include, launch, initiation, inception and origin. So in one short (or sometimes very long ) ceremony, graduates end one phase of their lives and embark upon their next adventure. Graduation speeches are always inspiring, uplifting messages from others who are most often held in high regard. Yet regardless of their background, experience or expertise, all graduation speeches send a similar message; some more clear, concise and creative than others. Often associated with hot, over crowded arenas, auditoriums, even gymnasiums, this ceremonial rite of passage is still one of my favorites, as the pride is palpable. The last graduation speaker I heard was a 2002 high school graduate, the CEO and co-creator of Instagram. His message was simple, seeped in his short decade of experience from graduating high school to becoming one of the top 100 influencers in the world. He admitted that he never imagined there was a connection between the classes he enjoyed most in school, and his development of one of the most popular applications ever. He was initially confused by the requirement of investors that he have a cofounder, but quickly realized the significance of collaboration. He advised his audience that if happiness is your goal, a strong heart is required. He suggested spending more time on the quality of your heart than on your face book profile Another speaker informed us that something does not have to be perfect or pretty to be beautiful. After all, beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder, and nowhere is this more true than when it comes to living a beautiful life. What is your definition of a beautiful life? What in your life is beautiful? Other advice included; Let your outside reflect your inside, see yourself clearly and be able to look yourself in the eye, seeing through your heart; Mature and Endure; realize that while your character and talent may remain essentially the same, your experiences and relationships will shape who you are and ultimately determine your direction and your destiny. And despite the best laid plans the future refuses to follow a script so ‘always be nimble, dexterous and deft, and never confuse your right with your left; Oh, the places you’ll go.’ You don’t have to be graduating to benefit from these words. We can all be inspired by ingesting timeless truths and worldly wisdom from the archives and experiences of others.

Free fun for kids in the summer
@ Your Library By Mike Taylor Pender County Library Director Special to the Post & Voice For many decades the public library has hosted free summer programs for children starting in June after school let out. For multiple generations of many families, taking their children to these library programs is a beloved rite of summer. After the regime of school, it’s a way to continue learning and discovery in a more relaxed and independent pleasurable way. The public libraries offer time and place where children engage their listening skills in hearing storytellers share books illustrated in the most imaginative ways. It’s a time when they can select books to take home to read, not as a homework or for a grade, but for pure pleasure. It’s a time when a father, mother, grandparent or any adult caring for children can strengthen bonds, yet sharpen skills while having fun. This summer will be no different. Starting the week of June 13, another summer series of fun programs and special events kick off. For the first time in many years, the activities will stretch for eight

No electricity, no phone, no gas, no food, no anything that requires a sophisticated operations system. Who you gonna’ call? In the event of a major catastrophe, you have to decide: flee or stay, and if flee, to where. And then figure out what the essential first activities might be. The first, and probably hardest realization is that nothing will ever be the same again, ever. It all depends on the depth of the catastrophe, and, as a nation, we have left ourselves vulnerable by refusing to admit that the very existence of various militia groups, unity groups, identity groups, common gangs, cartel gangs, hate groups and a for-profit media empire that makes huge piles of money by selling, or at least by capitalizing, ignorance. All are threats to our well-being. Who you gonna’ call? What if there’s no one to call, and there are no police,

I know men who love their wives, but are not necessarily in love with their wives. I am blessed that I can say both. Her smile calmed me that miserably hot day in 1992, when even the June corn cried out for mercy, when her dad tried to give her one last chance to flee the church, when the wedding director had hurt my father’s feelings
weeks. There will be programs for children of ages from birth through grade 5. Thanks to sponsorship of the Friends of the Libraries, special events for all ages come to the libraries for all ages monthly in June, July and August. Children with their responsible adults are welcome any time to explore the library. However, there are times for various age groups when they can experience activities just for them. Prizes can be earned for reading for pleasure provided by the Friends of the Libraries. The prizes range from small simple toys to books to take home for their very own. The Friends also make possible some very special visits by Sciencetellers (June 23), the North Carolina Aquarium (July 21), and the North Carolina Zoo (August 11). First up with Sciencetellers, children have the opportunity to see some surprising and amazing ‘safe’ science experiments shared and performed in the most entertaining ways. This is just the beginning. Watch in the Post & Voice for more about these free opportunities to introduce that important child in your life to a fun and entertaining summer series of free events. Come by either library in
Burgaw or Hampstead to pick up a flier of events, times and dates, or visit our website at: http://penderpl.libguides. com/YouthServices Educational researchers have long maintained that children who read for pleasure during the summer maintained or improved their reading ability while school was out. Otherwise, most children lose that edge and return to school a few months behind where they previously tested in May. Some have brought their children to the library for the first time not knowing what to expect, or thinking they would be seated in a classroom setting. Far from that, they have experienced a pleasurable balance of story listening, a time of creativity with arts and crafts, and a time of exploring books that match their own personal interests rather than a curriculum. Experience this with that special child in your life. Come by the libraries or visit the website for Pender County Public Library to learn more at the Youth Services tab. Give us a call at 259-1234 or 270-4603 if you prefer, but don’t let the summer pass by without at least one visit. Come soon because you’ll want to come back again!
no government services available? No utilities, no communications? No medical facilities? It’s time for self-reliance, and ‘self-reliance’ has become an industry trend all by itself. They’re called ‘Preppers’ and their ideas of what ‘prepared’ might envision runs within a wide range, from stocking up on some flashlight batteries, bottled water and a few extra canned goods, to building a ‘bug-out’ bunker in a desolate forest, equipped for years, even waiting out the ‘final days’ before the second coming. Many of the extreme preppers on YouTube sport long beards, wear camo and tattoos, carry combat knives, and have a survivalist (paracord macrame) bracelet on one or both wrists. Eco-survivalists don’t go for the combat camo look, but carry multi-blade camping knives, probably already have chickens, and store seeds for the future in the Volvo. ‘Campcrafters’ seem like senior ex-scouts who can build a whole town with a Swiss Army knife, lashing limbs and twigs into all sorts of fantastic things of use in a iron-age medieval village.
‘Bushcrafters’ build camps, too, but their craft extends to setting traps for animals, and processing the catch, living off the land. You may not have work to go to, banks and ATM machines won’t work, and after the grocery stores are looted, there’s nothing to buy anyway. If you have stuff, food and shelter, you will probably have to deal with those who have none. Share? Defend? To what level should you prepare? Around here, the biggest threat this time of year is hurricanes, with enough self sufficiency for three to five days, enough time to open closed roads, replenish the gas stations and re-stock the grocery store, and restore electric and cable and phone service. The only nice thing about hurricanes is they’re usually in warm weather. It may be genetic, but when I was a kid in high school - it was in the ‘50s - my grandmother’s mom surprised everyone in the family when she had a bomb shelter installed in her front yard. “Duck and cover’” wasn’t good enough.
and the cake never showed up and my oldest sister got in the photographer’s way. My best man was intentionally picking at me, I was worried that the job I had been promised wouldn’t come to fruition (it didn’t) and I was worried she would come through the doors of that old country church, take one look and change her mind. Instead, she smiled at me. I’ve seen that smile a million times since then, I guess, usually when it was most needed—when one misadventure or another made life more exciting than it needed to be, or when there was steel in the eyes behind that smile as she recalled admonitions
from her mother and mine to be a lady, even when she wanted to, as she puts it, “crawl up somebody’s head” to defend her husband. She takes delight in the things I love—the outdoors, critters, God, old movies, hunting, trapping, fishing, old cars and trucks, long country roads, rambling old houses, little children and old people. I have stretched her patience more times than any woman deserves, yet for some reason, she still loves me, and has, so she says since we first met, nigh onto 23 years ago, sealing that bond in her daddy’s church less than a year later. I have often said that little

Newsings & Musings
By Edith Batson Post & Voice Staff Writer Everyday more shocks We learned that Jean Carroway died last week and we just found out this week. She was a schoolteacher in Burgaw. She and her husband and family lived here for years. Just today (Sunday) I learned that J.B. Lewis had died a week ago. We extend to these families our love and sympathy. My sister-in-law, Mildred Everington Crowley, died in Florida a few weeks ago and I was not able to go to the funeral. She was the wife of my brother, Stephen Crowley. She lived with her son, Jim Crowley, who lovingly took care of her for many years with his friend, Kim. We also learned that Fib Bowen died in Wilmington. His funeral was Saturday at First Baptist Church. He grew up in Burgaw. Goodbye On Sunday, following the 11 a.m. worship service Burgaw Presbyterian Church family met for a sandwich and cookie lunch to say goodbye to our choir director for 10 years, Robby Anderson.
He will become choir director at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church at Sixth and Market Street in Wilmington. He often had his friend John Johnson sing regularly with our choir and add to our music. We wish Robby Godspeed and best wishes as he leads the new choir with music to the glory of God, the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. My neighbor and friend, Billy Dawson, dropped me off at church on his way to visit his friend Juan Sotomaye, who has to have therapy at Huntington. Billy learned that Juan had been moved back to NHRMC. Cheryl McNeil Woodell brought me back home. Since my car was totaled in my first real wreck the Saturday before Christmas and due to Macular Degeneration, I decided I would not invest in another car. What a hard decision that was. I never realized how hard it would be that I could no
longer hop in my little car and go where I wanted to go. Years ago, my five brothers went to various colleges and often stuck out their thumbs to catch a ride home for the weekend. Of course, as a girl, I was not allowed to do this, so I had to find a ride with a friend who lived in Wilmington or occasionally would ride the bus. Now I am back to where I started-with no car and no driver’s license. Oh well, I know the Lord will provide. He has always been good to me. Guess I will have to get a moped! Memorial Day service The Memorial Day service May 30 in Burgaw was well attended, but when I returned home, my eyes played tricks on me and I could not read my notes. I apologize to those who did a great job and made us glad that others gave their all – even their lives – so we could remember them on this special day. Shalom.

Pirates lose 2-1 in series with defending champ Marvin Ridge
In My Opinion Topsail falls short in state 3A championship By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer Throughout a season fraught with adversity and controversy – from losing their head coach due to an off-the-field incident, to the loss of potential pitching ace Bryce Cota to an earlyseason operation, to the loss of a trio of starters for a period that led to a late-season mini-slump, the players and coaches on the Topsail High School baseball stood tall and took on every challenge. But this past weekend they ran into a challenge that overwhelmed them slightly in the form of defending NCHSAA 3A state champion Marvin Ridge, and the hot-hitting, solid-fielding, well-coached Mavericks kept the Pirates from achieving a goal many felt they never had a chance of reaching in the first place. But be sure, the Pirates did not go down without a fight. Maverick senior – and tournament Most Valuable Player – Chandler Castleberry was 1-for-2 with a triple, two walks, and a run scored, and hurler Jake Zdimal pitched into the seventh inning as
Staff photo by Bobby Norris
After winning the ďŹ rst game 6-3, the Pirates dropped two games to defending state champions Marvin Ridge. Marvin Ridge defeated Topsail 10-7 Saturday evening in the third – and deciding game – of the best-of-three championship series at Burlington Athletic Park to repeat as state champions. After a series-opening 6-3 win behind senior ace Payton Rice on Friday, Topsail
Coach Chris Blake sent junior Payton Phelps to the mound on Saturday morning and freshman Aidan Smith to the bump later Saturday and the powerful Mavericks (30-6) took advantage of their youth by scoring 20 runs on 12 hits – including a trio of home runs (two by Castleberry) in the
early game, forcing the third game. Castleberry was 3-for-9 (.333) with two walks, three runs-scored, a triple, two home runs, and four RBIs to go along with nine putouts as he ran down several wellhit balls by Pirate batters throughout the series. Trailing 10-1 heading into the fifth inning in the nightcap, the Pirates rallied for three runs in the fifth and three in the seventh and had two runners on with two outs before the rally, and the Pirates’ quest second title in the last three years ended. “We spotted them an early lead and our bats didn’t start coming around until later but our kids didn’t quit and you can’t asked for much better,� Blake said. “These guys fought all year long and they’ve had a heck of a season. You can’t asked anything else from them. “Payton and Aidan have done a great job for us all year but Marvin Ridge can hit the ball, and they showed that. It’s the best team we’ve seen all year and they got to us.

Hooper named Post & Voice Pender male Athlete of year
By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer
By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Like most successful middle school athletes, Pender High school’s Justin Hooper entered high school with the word potential attached to his name. Hooper was a man among boys at the middle school level and the coaching staff at Pender hoped that he would carry on the tradition that made his older brother Shaq a star at the school. Justin became a mover and shaker at Pender high and this year was among the better athletes in the athlete rich Four County Conference. Mr. Hooper was a beast on the gridiron during the fall. The rising senior finished the season with 198 carries for 1094 yards and 11touchdowns. He also had six catches for 110 yards and one score. He was

the first off of the bench for Coach Gary Battle and was instant offense. Perhaps his best attribute on the basketball court was his willingness to play defense. His tenacious play often times earned him the job of covering the best backcourt player on the opposing team.
At first glance senior student-athlete Desire Brown seems to be just another pretty face in a crowd. She has a smile that lights up the room and can be described as a breath of fresh air. However, when she slips into her athletic wear she flips a switch. This is when the mild mannered senior changes and becomes a super hero of sorts. That is when she becomes Desire Brown the athlete. Miss Brown does not don a cape or cannot leap buildings in a single bound. Depending on the season, Brown dons a Titan uniform and becomes perhaps the best female athlete to ever attend Trask.

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer
The school year is over and the kids are beginning their summer activities. The student-athletes are planning the next two months with the next school year and next season in mind. Football is one of those sports that have underlying plots throughout the year. What I mean by that is that a good football program needs to have certain things in place. The summer months are the time that all prospective football players need to be in the weight room. They should spend a minimum of three days a week lifting along with at least one day, preferably two doing other things such as speed and agility drills. A football program will not be successful if they do not do these things. There are passing
leagues and different camps that are position specific that players need to attend. These camps will make a big difference in a player’s skills as well as his mental makeup. I believe that these camps are vital to a football team’s success during the fall. A year ago the Pender Patriots were without a coach. Tony Hudson had just resigned and the team was in disarray. Pender ended up hiring Bob Via and the team went about its business. However, the late start was a major pitfall for the team. Both Pender and Trask have a bevy of new coaches on board. Pender has a few including Desmond Jordan while Trask has former Pender coach Randy Pugh. This summer will be vital in these two teams quest to become a player in the area. I know that Pender has upgraded its weight room and Jordan has been working with quite a few players before and after school. Trask has been working on revamping its program from what I have been told. The two and half months of summer will be very important to these two teams in general. I for one hope to see both of these teams successful in the near future. They both deserve it.
Sports News and Notes By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer With the summer break upon us there will many activities that current and future high school athletes will be involved in to prepare themselves for the upcoming school year. Topsail High school volleyball coach Hill Pearsall will again run the summer volleyball league at Topsail High. The league will have teams from three counties including Laney, Swansboro, Wilmington Christian Academy and Dixon. Trask is on the schedule this year after being absent the last two years. The Titans have found the going tough since the departure of Karen Byrd. Pender will again be involved in the summer league. Coach Matt Davis works as hard as any coach in the area and will be looking to bounce back from a tough season. Of course Coach Pearsall will field a very good team this summer while looking to win the Mid-Eastern Conference title in 2016. The area baseball teams will again look toward the American Legion schedule. The rumor is that Topsail will only field a junior legion team this year while Trask and Pender have yet to commit either way.
The softball teams in the area usually play in the Wilmington league. They usually play their games at Hoggard High school. Neither Trask nor Pender played summer ball last year. The men’s and women’s basketball teams in the county are usually very busy throughout the summer Trask men’s Coach Rodney Orr keeps his guys busy and it seems to have paid off handsomely for the veteran coach. He will have to replace the conference player of the year in Tynaffitt Davis along with starters Johnathan Jordan and Jaquan London. The Trask Lady Titans have yet to commit to the summer schedule although Coach Marcus Ballard talked of his team playing this summer. Coach Gary Battle is already in summer mode. He will be running a summer camp and will look for some games for his team. Speaking of Pender, the Lady Patriot basketball team may be guided by another coach this winter although the school has yet to issue a statement. Finally the Burgaw Dixie Youth minor boys will host the state tournament this year. Burgaw always fields a stout all-star squad in both baseball and softball.

Davis named Post & Voice Trask male Athlete of year By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer When senior Tynaffitt Davis enter Trask High school the word potential was mentioned many times. He was an undersized skinny young man with an infectious smile and a quick wit. He also had mad ball handling skills on the basketball court. As his high school career progressed he grew both physically and talent wise. By the time he was a junior he was being mentioned in the same breath as Titan basketball greats Rasheed Brown and Ricky Dorm. Davis came into his senior year full of confidence and swagger. He had grown into a hulk of a young man. His basketball skills had also grown.
Behind the play of Mr. Davis the Titans won the Four County Conference regular season title. they also made a deep run in the state 1A playoffs. Tynaffitt was named the Four County Conference player of the year. Davis was often times the best player and best athlete on the floor. He averaged 14.2 points a game and also snared 6.7 boards a game. He averaged 3.5 assists a game and 3.8 steals a contest as well. He gave the Titans opponents fits when he was on the floor. As a football player, Tynaffitt used his quickness and athletic ability to become a very good high school player. Again he was often times identified as the best athlete on the field. He played several positions for the Titans including

Topsail spring sports All-Conference selections By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer The Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference has crowned all of its spring champions and the school year is heading to a close. What was left was the individual honors that had to be awarded, and the Mid-Eastern Conference got a jump on that this past week with the release of its All-Conference teams in the nine spring sports, and many of the Topsail High athletes were afforded various positions on those teams.
Since the Pirates’ baseball team was still in action last weekend at the NCHSAA 3A state championship series, the conference held back on releasing that All-Conference group, but you can expect several Pirate players will be seeing their names shortly. Here is a little recap of who made what, where: s3OFTBALL The Lady Pirates finished 26-5 overall, dominating the conference with an 11-1 record for the second-straight year, and the girls were justly rewarded with eight selections spread
among the first and second teams and honorable mention. Senior Keri White and junior Victoria Elder made the first team – with White being selected as the conference Player-of-the-Year. White finished the year with a .429 batting average. She had 42 hits and scored 31 runs with 31 RBI, 11 doubles, five triples, and two home runs, 13 stolen bases, and a slugging percentage of .704. Elder hit at a .382 clip with 34 hits, 22 RBIs, seven doubles, and a triple. But her selection
came as a pitcher where she finished 14-2. Elder pitched 150 innings, striking out 172 opposing hitters, walking 47, and giving up 32 hits while allowing 40 runs (32 earned). Making the second team were juniors Hunter “Mighty Mite� Bizzell and Hayley Grizzle. The speedy Bizzell had a .435 average with 40 hits, 41 runs scored, 13 RBIs, five doubles, and four triples. Bizzell stole 24 bases. Grizzle had a .394 average with 39 hits, 34 RBIs, three

Johnson leaves Trask High a winner By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer When this year’s senior class entered Trask High school, they were revered as the best female class to ever come in together. This group was very successful at every level that they competed at. Among those players was senior A.J. Johnson. Miss Johnson came in as a third baseman on the softball team. She began to pitch out of necessity and found that she was very good at it. As her career in the circle blossomed so did the Titan softball team. Entering her senior year there was a lot expected out of the lanky right hander. She came through for her team in the early going before an injury derailed the rest of her season. Johnson took the injury in stride and came back to help the team in other ways in the playoffs. Through it all A.J. Johnson has remained an excellent student, athlete and person.

The recent weather has the area fresh water anglers in a rave as they say that the sunny mornings are ideal for floating on the rivers and lakes and enjoying the day. The bream bite has been pretty steady with red worms being the bait of choice followed by crickets and some night crawlers. Danny at Back Yard Baits has reported several anglers with a big old mess of good fish. A few crappy have been caught as well on live bait. The catfish are hitting the usual cut up eel and night crawlers. Remember that the best time to fish for cats is in the night time hours or early in the morning. The salt water anglers are raving about the improved flounder bite. The flatfish are hitting live minnows and select gulp baits. The reds are still biting fairly well in the creeks and flats. Live baits and gulp baits are working along with select top water plugs. The surf casters and pier anglers are catching some black drum and sea mullet with shrimp as the best bait to use here. There have been Spanish mackerel and bluefish feeding along the beachfront. They’re falling for Clarkspoons that are being trolled from boats along with Gotcha plugs that anglers are working from the piers. This week’s fishing tip

In those first three years she came close in both sports, finishing in the top five in three events on the track as well as being a member of a very successful softball program. This year the senior speedster finally found that elusive state championship. She did it in not one but two events at the North Carolina State 1A track and field meet. Desire won the 200-meter run with a time of 25.32 seconds. The second place runner from Princeton finished with a time of 25.75 seconds. The Pender County speedster ran a sub one minute 400-meter sprint to take the gold. She beat Eden Phillips of Mitchell by a full three seconds. Desire finished her high school track career off with three conference titles, three regional titles and two state titles. She was also a member
Goff a success in years at Pender High By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer When Brianna Goff entered Pender High school as a freshman, she was already an accomplished softball player. She did not stop there. She played volleyball and was also a member of the basketball team However, there was no doubt that her heart and soul was on the softball field. Brianna started as a freshman on the softball team and was a very valuable addition. She played multiple positions and was available to do so at any time. As a volleyball player Brianna used her wit and athletic ability to be successful. Although she did not start she worked hard to become the best that she could be. As Miss Goff ’s high school career comes to an end, she will take with her many fond memories. She leaves with a successful career, both athletically and academically. Brianna Goff will be a Patriot for life.
With the summer months fast approaching the area anglers will all be battling one familiar foe. The sun is our best friend and we love to wake up early and see it peeking out. However, it can also be our worst enemy. Most all of us have had a bad sun burn that makes life miserable. Let’s touch on a few tips on how to prevent sun burn. Try to find a big brimmed hat to wear to keep the sun off of your face as much as possible. An umbrella will also work for you guys fishing on the banks of your favorite fishing hole or river. Use sun block. An SPF of 45 should be plenty for even the fair skinned angler. Apply Vaseline or chap stick on your lips as well. Note to the guys that are hair challenged, if you don’t wear a hat, please put sun screen on your noggin! Follow the instructions on the sun screen you are using and re apply when it instructs you to do so. Make sure to get those hard to reach places such as the backs of the legs and don’t forget your feet if you are bare footed or are wearing flip-flops. If you do get sun burn, try using cool cloths on the burn and take frequent cool showers or baths. Apply lotions that contain aloe vera on the sun burned area. If you begin to peel, lotions may help with the itching.
of the 4x400-meter relay team that finished second in the state. As a softball player, Desire manned center field for the Lady Titans. She was among the team leaders in batting average and was a terror on the base paths. She pulled double duty in the playoffs, running track and playing softball on the same day. On the day that she won three regional titles she also had the game winning walk off hit to propel her team into the third round of the playoffs. Desire Brown will move on to the next level next year. However, her legacy at the Rocky Point school will remain. For the second straight year, Desire Brown has been named the Post-Voice Trask female athlete of the year.

Bill Howard Outdoors
By Bill Howard Post & Voice Columnist I recently finished a piece for a magazine article on the benefits of the outdoors for stress reduction and peace of mind. More specifically, since the article was geared more towards kayaking, it mostly dealt with kayak fishing and the good that comes from it. All of us have those moments when stress from family life, financial obligations, to-do lists for both home and work, and the feeling as though you are underappre-
ciated and over-obligated can carry us to the point of great anxiety or even, unfortunately, to the breaking point. It usually culminates where we become the bad guy. You know, we are the ones that are the total jerk as we lash out over something minor because of all the other major burdens. The article dealt specifically with the Heroes on the Water organization, a nonprofit group whose primary purpose is to assist returning soldiers to relax, rehabilitate and reintegrate through kayak fishing and the outdoors. One chapter is based in the foothills of North Carolina. A study into the program showed that it does actually work. Soldiers dealing with lack of sleep, as in two hours or less during the night due to traumatic stress were shown to have a 60% reduction in re-experiences and sleep increased to five hours or more after engaging in the
activity. There was also a 63 percent drop in avoidance of family and friends and other social activities after learning and participating in kayak fishing. Avoidance is when the person can become caught up in self thought that can be harmful causing depression. Other benefits were also noted as well. While the study gave numerical data to the activity, it is something we already knew, whether with kayak angling, shore fishing, hunting, or even hiking as the activity. The outdoors helps us rejuvenate and reinvigorate. It helps bring clarity to an otherwise muddled world. It is something we all need. We do not have to be a combat warrior returning from a tour of death and destruction to appreciate it. We can be dealing with stress, albeit on a much different level than our returning heroes, by being a secretary, a restaurant man-
ager, a technician or even a stay-at-home mom. The outdoors does not discriminate. It does not care what our gender, race, or political affiliation is. It heals regardless. All it takes is for us to commit to experience it. Sometimes that is the hardest part though. With all the things we have going on in our lives, it seems like a simple paddle, sit in the stand, or walk with the dog in the woods is a burden. Yet it is the relief of the real burdens, and we have to realize that. –Bill Howard is a lifelong North Carolina resident and hunter.

Continued from page 5A Civil Defense was a subject of widespread discussion, and communities stockpiled huge quantities of water, toilet paper and crackers. In this case, the scenario was well known: Russian bombers and missiles would attack America, raining nuclear destruction across the land, but during the attack, prepared citizens went into their shelters, lived on stored food and water, and took in air through a radioactive dust filter pipe that led outside. When the ‘all clear’ was given by the Civil Defense authority, normal life could resume. Only, the major cities for which the citizens occupied the suburbs had now been reduced to radioactive rubble. The direst of predictions warn of marauding gangs and desperate individuals, and no civil authority. What you have at the time is what you will have forever, until you can establish yourself as a self-sufficient subsistence farmer. I really think that in the aftermath of a catastrophe, most people will want to come together to access and share resources, and only a few will want to take it all for themselves, and one of the first ‘local authority’ functions will be to put together a ‘safety’ committee

But to see our guys fight back from a 10-1 deficit with their backs to the wall, that’s huge, but it didn’t work out for us.” The Mavericks made the most of three hits, two walks, and a Pirate error to score five times in the first inning after Topsail (22-12) had taken a 1-0 lead in the top of the frame when Bryce Cota (1B) scored on an error. Marvin Ridge added a run in the second, one in the third, and three in the fourth, and appeared to be on cruise control before the Topsail bats came alive. Chase Riker, Garrett Myrka, and Aaron Beach had RBIs as the Pirates scored three times in the fifth to close to 10-4. Sam Hall walked to lead off the seventh before Riker launched a ball to deep right field for as two-run home run, narrowing the deficit to 10-6. After two outs, Colby Emmertz was hit by a pitch, eventually
scoring to make it 10-7 but a strikeout ended the threat. Earlier in the day, the Mavericks took an early 1-0 lead in the first of game two. Two more runs in the fourth made it 3-0 and a four-spot in the fifth put things out of reach. Marvin Ridge tacked on three more tallies in the seventh. That was all junior Maverick Jason Cornatzer needed as he limited Topsail to five hits and no walks in six strong innings. Marvin Ridge scored three times on five hits off senior Payton Rice in the first inning of the opener, but Rice settled down and limited the Mavericks to one more hit the rest of the way, striking out five. “They came out and they were hitting really well, and Payton wasn’t hitting the spots he needed to,” Blake said. “But I knew that he had it in him to bounce back, and from there on he was lights out. When you talk to him he doesn’t have that Bulldog mentality but when he’s on the mound, he was mad they got to him, and he came out with the full intention of shutting them down.”

Registration open for Surf City Pier Children’s Fishing Competition By Lori Kirkpatrick, Staff Writer Surf City Ocean Pier will hold its annual Children’s Fishing Competition and Celebration July 4. Participants must pre-register online, and the competition will be limited to 300 children. There will be a staggered check-in starting with the oldest age group, the Sharks (ages 14-16) at 7 a.m; followed by the Skates and Rays (ages 11-13) at 8 a.m.; the Red Drums (ages 8-10) at 9 a.m.; the Flounders (ages 5-7) at 10 a.m.; and the Turtles (ages 0 – 4) at 11 a.m.. The event is free and open to children ages 0 - 16. Walk-ins will not be accepted the day of the tournament. Surf City Ocean Pier Manager Vinita Gass has been involved with the event each year since it began. She hopes to expose youngsters to the excitement of fishing in a fun, educational and safe family-oriented environment. “It just started out as something fun to do with the kids. Once upon a time, we used to have a Mike Martin Fishing Tournament that was dedicated in memory of someone who worked here. We did that seven or eight years, and then it started fizzling out. We decided to put the focus more on the children, and we created the Children’s Fishing Tournament. The first year we did it, it was on the Fourth of July, and we have decided to keep it on the Fourth each year. It seems to work out really well, and people have grown to expect it,� said Gass. The event is a free day of fun for the kids who participate. Bait, lunch, tackle, and children’s activities are provided. The kids can bob for apples, play in the water sprinkler and there will be water sticks to amuse them. A sand pit with shells and sharks’ teeth is sure to entertain the little ones, as well. Fun facts will be printed out about each of the sea life categories for which each group is named, as a way to encourage the kids to learn something while having a good time. While there will be plenty of recreational activities for the children, but there will be rules to follow as well. “We are a fishing pier, and everybody wants to catch a shark. They are always a favorite topic. However, we never photograph or record sharks caught off the pier. We don’t want people targeting sharks. They can be very predatory and if a shark is hanging around the pier, the fish that you really want to catch will run off. So you don’t want the sharks hanging around. They’re here, and they are always going to be here; but that doesn’t mean
you have to target them, try to catch them or encourage them to hang around,� said Gass. Nicknaming herself “The Pier Witch,� Gass has worked at the pier since 1999. She grew up on Topsail Island and after attending the Topsail schools, she went on to pursue a degree in early childhood education. She taught preschool for a while, and began to work at the pier as a summer job.
Gass never left, and said she just traded one set of children for another. She enjoys meeting all the interesting people that come to visit the pier. “For our tournament, we have kids that come from Virginia every year, from South Carolina and from all across the state. A lot of great people come here. The owner is fabulous to work for, and I enjoy what I do. It’s a good
place to be and a good place to work. It’s a family here. I grew up on the island, so this is just home for me,� said Gass. From the t-shirts, to the bait and tackle, games, trinkets and toys provided at the pier during the event, everything will be free for the kids. Of course, that is only possible because of sponsor participation. Gass said that they are always looking for new sponsors and volunteers for the event. For more information, daily updates and for beach weather forecasts, visit Surf City Ocean Pier’s frequently updated Facebook page or the website at www.surfcityoceanpier.com. They can also be followed on Twitter and Instagram. Surf City Ocean Pier is located at 112 S. Shore Dr.

The Kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the ground, and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would sprout and grow, he does not know how. The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head. Mark 4: 26-28 Planting and sowing are major activities in the Bible. Agriculture was important to the people of Jesus’ day. They did not have all the advantages of knowledge, tools and resources to grow a good crop every time. They had to trust their instincts and the elements. They had to trust the seed and to work with nature to come out with a harvest. The image of gardening is often used to talk about the Christian life. Like a garden it needs planting and tending and constant care. Like a garden it requires focus and
effort and the right amount of coaxing. As the parable above suggest there is a great deal of mystery in this growing process. Thus, it seems, we can find in the art of gardening many things we could apply to Christian nurture and growth. There is an extended vision of this in the book, The Shack by William P. Young. In the book, the main character and the Holy Spirit go out to work in the garden. It is oddly arranged with stuff spread all over everywhere. The man says. “it’s a mess� and the Holy Spirit agrees gleefully. “It’s a wonderful mess.� As they work a while in the garden pulling up some plants and putting down others, it is revealed that the garden is in effect the main character’s soul, and of course he is astounded. It is disorganized, strangely laid out with flowers of one kind and another planted here there and everywhere, rather than together.
It is bright and colorful and growing, but one might wonder if it is growing towards any purpose. Everyday the Holy Spirit goes out and works in the garden rearranging things and helping it to grow and bloom in a more faithful and fruitful way. It is, I suppose, an invitation for thinking about our own souls. Some of the stuff planted there, we planted; and some things were planted by God. Its disarray represents our own struggle to “make sense� of our faith and its direction. We do the best we can along the way, too often taking control of it ourselves. We are growing all kinds of great stuff, but it needs a different hand to tend it. It needs the Spirit’s guiding touch to line it up with God’s vision. God is working everyday in the gardens of our souls, planting new things and get-

ting rid of some things we don’t really need. God wants it to resemble His image for us, His good for us, His life for us. As it grows sometimes helter skelter, God comes again and again to mold it so it will grow and produce something that can and does honor Him. God’s spirit works in our garden of our souls to direct the fruits that it will yield. It’s a work in progress, like a garden, where many things come to grow and God works to arrange the garden in His own mind’s eye, so that it will become a showcase for the Kingdom. None of us are done yet when it comes to soul work and it is nice to know that one of the jobs of the Holy Spirit is to tend the gardens of our soul and grow the right fruits for our faith. May you be blessed with the fruitfulness that is carefully tended by the Father’s care.
