Willard Outreach Center to host events in October

By Lori Kirkpatrick Post & Voice Staff Writer Willard Outreach Community Center will host two events the last weekend of the month. The Northern Pender County Community Day will be held Oct. 28 beginning at 9 a.m. and continuing until completion of the installation of the center’s new playground is complete.

The outreach is asking for volunteers of all ages to come out to support the youth of northern Pender County and lend a helping hand with the project. The following day, a walk in support of breast cancer survivors will be held at the center as well. Willard Outreach President Clifton West said that the construction of the playground will help the community fulfill a bigger purpose than simply providing a place for kids to play. “Willard Outreach Organization Inc. was developed with the purpose of bringing people and families together of all ages, gender and color.

By installing this playground, it will help us achieve this goal of bringing people and families together. Also, it brings a sense of pride for our kids that live in a low income area that thought they had been forgotten by society,� said West.

After the completion of the playground, West said that the next step is to continue education on social skills and other endeavors to enhance the life cycle strategies of youth development.

Programming that will be implemented include the kids’

summer lunch program, kids’ summer camp, after school reading programs, boys and girl scout clubs, language arts programs and other kids’ activities. West believes that these programs will help bring families together to learn and d e v e l o p a s a community.

West said, “The Playground Community Day is the last day of installing the Frontier playground. We are asking the community to come out and show their support for our kids.

They will also get a firsthand look at the new playground in Northern Pender County. This is what happens when a community pulls together as one.

Like I always say, ‘Why Not our Community?’�

In order to help encourage families and caregivers to be engaged, West said that incentives will include caregiving and parental support to assistant with homework, after school study, tutorial programs and other educational support.

Willard Outreach Organization plans to partner with local organizations like Pender County Smart Start, 4H club, boy and girl scouts, Pender County parks and Recreation and the local school systems.

To make sure the value of play is realized for kids, Willard Outreach plans to use incentive awards to provide competition as well as fun play.

The day after the playground project, another event will be held at Willard Outreach Center. The center’s First Annual Breast Cancer Walk of Support will begin Oct. 29 at 1 p.m.

Participants will start the

1.5 mile walk at the Union Rescue Squad and finish it at the Willard Outreach Center.

Those who attend are invited to come out in either pink, white or lavender shirts in support of breast cancer survivors in the community.

The walk will conclude with a celebration for all the cancer survivors. Attendees can also learn and ask questions about how to detect symptoms and the latest treatments for cancer.

Participants are asked to

Notes from the Field, Part 1

How to bail out at 500 mph

Bill Messer Sounds easy, doesn’t it? Easy as falling out of a plane?

The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is a small single-engine deltawing attack fighter/bomber, that in spite of its diminutive size, carries a bomb load greater than the famous WW-II era Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. It took on several fanciful nicknames, from ‘Scooter’ due to its size, to ‘Heinemann’s Hot Rod’, after its designer, Ed Heinemann, seemingly wrapping a big engine in the least amount of aluminum, so narrow in fact that larger pilots had to wiggle sideways to get the canopy to close over their shoulders.

Col. Tom Hucklebery, retired USMC pilot, who flew the A-4 in Viet Nam remembers, “In a violent maneuver, your helmet would bang on the canopy, so you learned to make your maneuvers smoothly, with finesse.”

Tom has an A-4 ejection seat re-purposed into a rocking chair, and when he retired from the Marine Corps he worked for a company that developed ejection seat technology, and I asked him to tell me about the development of this life-saving device.

First, from Wikipedia, a short history: “Leonardo DaVinci sketched a design in 1485 that had a wooden frame, but never built one, Frenchman Louis-Sébastien Lenormand , the ‘father of the parachute’, successively built and demonstrated its use in 1783, and in 1797 JeanPierre Blanchard developed and successfully demonstrated the use of a vented silk canopy to jump from hot-air balloons.

“Between WW1 and WWII, US Army Major E. L. Hoffman had the brilliant idea to combine the best existing techniques into a single unified package: a round silk canopy deployed via rip cord from a soft backpack, the first modern parachute, unceremoniously dubbed the Parachute Type-A.” There are many ways to bail out of a damaged aircraft, from rolling it over on its side or top and releasing the seat belt to fall out, to climbing out an open cockpit and along a wing or wing strut to miss a turning propeller, or the tail of the

airplane.

Here’s some How-To instructions, from the Douglas A-26 Invader Pilot Training Manual: “10. Release safety belt.

(Hold on firmly as you climb out of seat to prevent wind blast from blowing you out prematurely.)

“11. Dive flat (head first) out onto right wing trailing edge. Always bail out in this manner. The downward flow of air passing over the trailing edge of the wing forces you down and under the right horizontal stabilizer, thereby safely clearing the tail section.”

As speeds got higher, it became increasing difficult to get out of an airplane in a hurry, sometimes requiring the pilot to slow the aircraft, assume a nose up attitude turning one way or the other, when the plane was disintegrating, on fire, and the pilot having less and less control.

What was needed was a way for the pilot to get out of the aircraft quickly and without harm, and seats were developed with explosive, ballistic, and rocket assists in a wide variety of configurations.

“Back in the beginning,” Tom began, “manufacturers began putting escape systems in their aircraft, Douglas had one, Rockwell had one, everybody did their own thing. The ‘Escapac’ was in Douglas aircraft. The one I flew came out in 1954, the A-4 (Skyhawk).

The Navy wanted an airplane that would deliver a nuclear bomb, 600 miles out/600 miles back.

“Douglas (Ed Heinemann) designed the A-4 so it would fit on an aircraft carrier without folding its wings. He made a lot of ‘em, starting out as everything does with the A-4A and ending with the A-4S.” I had served aboard USS Intrepid CV-11 in the Tonkin Gulf, in the late ‘60s, and we had A-4s, and I remembered the change, “We were just getting the -Es on the second cruise,” I told him. The -E models had an electronics package bulge on top of the fuselage.

“The A-4 was chosen because of its simplicity and reliability, and it had good range,” Tom continued.

“The limitation back in the early days was the ‘open’ oil system.”

I was curious about what an ‘open’ oil system might be, and Tom explained that lubricating oil, after passing through the jet’s hot engine bearings, was not returned to recirculate.

Like all conversations between military people, there

Real men don’t have to wear pink I have often said that while real men aren’t afraid to wear pink, they also don’t have to wear pink to prove they aren’t afraid.

Regardless of the entreaties of my beloved Miss Rhonda, the requests of my mother-in-law, and the teasing of numerous female friends, I do not, as a matter of principle, wear pink. Pink is for girls. I do not look down on those who wear pink for any of a number of good causes, from breast cancer research to domestic violence. Rather than wear a pink T-shirt to show my support, I just make a donation, when I can, and let them sell the T-shirt to someone else. The fact that I don’t wear T-shirts as outerwear is just one reason.

I do not wear pink. I don’t think it is becoming to me, and besides, it confuses me.

My dress and work shirts are white, black, or blue.

Same for church. That keeps things simple, and that way most everything at least coordinates, if it doesn’t match.

My off-duty weekend shirts are generally khaki, blue chambray, camouflage or an indeterminate earth tone faded to inexpressible comfort with permanent stains. In winter, a few checked flannels may slide into the mix. A pink shirt in

My Clan Jefferson Weaver all that would just befuddle my already fuddled mind.

I don’t wear pink – but sadly, desperate times call for desperate measures.

One of the good things about moving from one home to another is finding lots of old friends – books, hunting clothes, pocketknives and the like – that have been hidden for a while. Every box, even those so carefully labeled by my bride, is a surprise.

But one of the less pleasant parts of moving is occasionally balky appliances, specifically washing machines.

Now, Miss Rhonda was smart – she was a laundering dervish while we were moving. She didn’t want to have to move unwashed

laundry, and I had to finish the kitchen floor before we could hook up the washer at the new place. The washer has been a bit of Sleeping Beauty for a while, and I am no Prince Charming of appliances, so she was functioning under the assumption that things like doors, windows and work would take priority over laundry.

As always happens in life, however, there were more washouts than potholes along the road to the new house, and the washer stayed low on the priority list. At the same time, the pile of can’t-wear-it-anotherday shirts began to climb.

Great gadgets for aging golfers Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any products that can help older golfers? I love to play golf, but at age 74, I have hip and back problems that make bending over to tee up or pick up the ball difficult. And I have arthritis in my thumbs that makes griping the club a problem.

Ailing Eddy Dear Eddy, There are actually a wide variety of nifty golf accessories and adaptive equipment that can help older golfers who struggle with injuries, arthritis or loss of mobility.

Here are several products for different needs.

Bending substitutes The game of golf requires a lot of repetitive bending and stooping that comes with teeing up the ball, repairing divots, marking the ball on the green, retrieving a ball or tee on the ground, along with picking up a club, sand rake or flag stick off the ground.

For teeing up the ball without bending over, consider one of the Northcroft Golf Tee-Up devices. These are long-handled tools (1.5 to 3 feet long) that have triggerstyle handgrips and a jaw that holds the ball and tee for easy placement. They cost between $69 and $72 and are available at NorthcroftGolf. com. For other tee-up solutions, see the Tee Pal ($55, TeePalPro.com) and Joe’s Original Backtee ($15, UprightGolf.com).

NorthcroftGolf.com and UprightGolf.com also offer a variety of stoop-proof ball pickup accessories, divot repair and magnetic ball marker products ranging

between $5 and $12.

Or, if you just want a great all-around golf pickerupper, consider the Graball GrabAll Jaw – sold through Amazon.com for $10 for a package of two. It attaches to the handle end of your putter and chipper and is designed to pick up golf balls, flagsticks, putters and green side chippers.

Gripping aids To help alleviate your golf club gripping problem, there are specially designed golf gloves and grips that can make a big difference.

The best gloves are the Bionic Golf Gloves (BionicGloves.com) that have extra padding in the palm and finger joints to improve grip. And the Power Glove (PowerGlove.com) that has a small strap attached to the glove that loops around the club grip to secure it in your hand. These run between $20 and $30.

Another option is to get oversized grips installed on your clubs. This can make gripping the club easier and more comfortable, and are also very good at absorbing shock. Oversized grips are usually either one-sixteenthinch or one-eighth-inch larger in diameter than a standard grip, and cost around $10 per grip. You can find these grips and have them installed at your local golf store or pro shop.

Or, for a grip-and-glove combination fix, consider the Quantum Grip (QuantumGrip.com) that incor-

porates Velcro material recessed in the golf club grip and a companion golf glove that has mating Velcro material in the palm. Cost: $20 per grip, plus $35 per glove.

Vision helper If vision problems make finding the ball difficult, Chromax golf balls (ChromaxGolf.com) can make a big difference. These are reflective colored golf balls that make them appear larger and brighter. Cost: $10.50 for a three-pack.

Ergonomic carts There are also ergonomically designed golf carts that can help you transport your golf clubs around the course.

If you like to walk, the Sun Mountain Spor ts MicroCart, V1 Sport Cart or Reflex Cart are great options. These are three and four-wheeled, lightweight push carts that that fold into a compact size for easy transport. Available at SunMountain.com for $200, $210 and $230.

Or, for severe mobility loss, the SoloRider specialized electric golf cart (SoloRider.com) provides the ability to play from a seated or standing-but-supported position. Retailing for $9,450, plus a $550 shipping fee, this cart is lightweight and precisely balanced so it can be driven on tee boxes and greens without causing any damage. Federal ADA laws require that all publically owned golf courses allow them.

I possess the most beautiful gift. This gift was secured for me by my grandparents who selflessly worked from sunup to sundown and raised children with a moral fabric which is impenetrable to the sharp jabs randomly pitched by life. There can be no dollar amount attached to it.

You see, I not only belong to a family – I’m part of a clan. Would I exchange my clan for a worry-free existence or my own private island fully appointed with cabana boy and bottomless tacos? No way. When tragedy visits, many loving hands join together. And, still, the fabric of my clan endures.

Webster defines a clan as a close-knit and united group, sometimes sharing common ancestors. Families are genetically related, but relationships may not always last. A clan runs deeper, wrapped in a rich history which drives morals and upbringing.

My grandparents raised children with a deep respect for God and their elders.

Their work ethic is undeniably strong and the standards which guide them daily are unyielding. My clan includes many aunts, uncles and cousins who, no matter what, will always be at the ready to maintain these ideals. Sometimes, their encouragement whispers.

At other times, a stern voice redirects. But, unconditional love paints the background of our story and, in this, there is tremendous peace.

I don’t have nearly as much to offer as I’ve been given. With guilt, I’m now realizing the moments lost to this hectic life-moments which would have been better spent sitting for a while with my grandparents, drinking in the rich history which defines us.

It’s been almost a year since the loss of our patriarch-Edward Jackson Brown.

My grandmother, Mary Ellen, is fragile in body and mind, but always surrounded by love. That love is expressed with visits and kisses. But the simplest, most touching evidence is the daily care which is selflessly given by her children and grandchildren.

Rather than releasing her to the care of strangers in a place which is not her home, she is changed, bathed and fed by her clan. Although she does not recognize us, the love and care never falters.

So, if I’m ever on the receiving end of a bear mauling and lose an arm in the fray, I’m confident that my clan will drive me to medical appointments and PTSD group therapy. I’m certain, in fact, that a prosthetic arm, fashioned from reclaimed barn wood, will be whittled within the week.

At the very least, that bear will have a bounty on its head and my arm, or any remnants thereof, will be returned to me in short order.

This clan of mine is forever, as the principles which define us pass to the next generation. Last week, in fact, we were blessed with

My Spin

Tom Campbell

Chasing big fish Most cities of any size are salivating at the opportunity to land the big Amazon fish, including several in North Carolina angling to win the trophy. Jeff Bezos’ Seattle based company is shopping to locate a second headquarters site and the bait they are dangling is 50,000 new jobs and $5 billion in investments.

Amazon’s list of desirables is extensive. They want to locate in a metropolitan area of more than 1 million, have nearby universities, on-site access to mass transit, a 45 minute or less

commute to an international airport, major highway artery access, a diverse population and recreational opportunities. An all-out bidding competition, among cities offering Amazon economic incentives, has erupted.

North Carolina hasn’t done well in these big-game tournaments. Until 1993, our state didn’t offer incentives other than roads, utility improvements and job training. Mercedes Benz changed all that. North Carolina made the short list to lure the carmaker, but lost out to Alabama’s $300 million plus incentive package, an unheard of amount at that time.

Earlier this year we were thought we were in the running for Foxconn’s $10 billion investment with thousands of jobs. Our state offered incentives of more than $570 million, but lost out to Wisconsin’s $3 billion incentives package.

These ever escalating, high stakes incentives pageants are little more than a Robin Hood in reverse scenario. Bezos, Amazon’s principle owner, is reportedly worth more than $84 billion.

North Carolina’s leaders claim we don’t have the wherewithal to build roads, fund schools and provide for those in need, yet we are willing to shell out a billion or more to give to those already wealthy. It is insane and the payback to taxpayers is problematic.

Most all these big prospects will choose larger cities, further exacerbating our urban-rural problems as more move to the cities to take jobs. But rural areas won’t be alone in suffering, as increased demands on the cities where the plants locate require higher taxes to improve congested roads, construct new schools, expand water and sewer utilities and other public amenities. Taxpayers pay on both ends.

Too many times the companies we’ve offered these incentive packages fail live up to their promises, sometimes later pulling up and leaving, or laying off employees.

Our state is littered with water and sewer systems built to accommodate now vacant textile operations, systems now unable to generate sufficient revenues to properly keep them maintained.

Yes, we want more and better paying jobs for our people. Yes, we want to attract businesses with newer technologies and modern operations and yes, we want to make this a more desirable state in which to live.

But we are neglecting those businesses that started and stayed here.

Just think of the benefits we could enjoy if our leaders spent as much time and money helping small to medium-sized companies as we do chasing after these big fish. These companies create 7 out of 10 new jobs.

This logic won’t change the mindset of economic developers or politicians.

It’s sexy to announce and cut the ribbon on a big catch and get media headlines. But we’ve demonstrated the odds of landing the big ones are about as good as winning the sweepstakes. A safer bet is to help the small fish grow larger and that is no fish tale.

Red Ribbon Week comes to CFES

By Adam Morrison CFES Intern Special to the Post & Voice

In 1985 a nonprofit organization called the National Family Partnership created the Red Ribbon Campaign to help concerned parents raise awareness about drug prevention.

This campaign was created when Enrique Camarena, a Drug Enforcement Agent, was kidnapped by drug dealers and killed.

The Red Ribbon organization was created in his honor to promote awareness, advocacy, and provide resources about drug prevention. Today the Red Ribbon Celebration is still educating our youth and

encourages participation in drug prevention activities.

Cape Fear Elementary school students and staff will fully participate in this Campaign from October 23-27, with each day representing a different theme.

Monday is Color My World Drug Free Day, Tuesday is Hats Off To Being Drugs Free Day, Wednesday is Sock It To Drugs Day, Thursday is Team Up Against Drugs Day, and Friday is Follow Your Dreams – Don’t Do Drugs Day. Join Cape Fear Elementary and make the pledge to set guidelines to help children grow up safe, healthy and Drug Free!

I’m only one person, but I want to make a difference.

–Enrique Camarena

Pirate Classic Marching Band competition Oct. 21 The Pender High School JROTC Raider Teams traveled to West Brunswick High School Oct. 14 to compete in a regional Best of the Best qualifying meet. Pender Team 1 finished first in Physical Fitness (two minute push-ups/ sit-ups, mile run), team 5K run, logistics course, vehicle pull, and second in rope bridge.

Individual honors went to Sadie Parrish for top female and Earl Cottle for top male in the fitness event.

Tips to improve your child’s math scores At a time when math is becoming an increasingly important subject for students to master, students are exploring ways to better understand the subject of math and improve their test scores.

To help students stand out from the pack and increase their math grades and scores, consider the following.

Don’t skip ahead One math skill builds on another. The same way that skipping an episode of a plotdriven show will make you feel lost when you return to the program, missing a math lesson can create confusion

all semester long. To keep up, be sure to pay careful attention in class, taking copious notes, doing all your assigned homework, and being sure to talk to the teacher about what you missed on sick days. Don’t move to the next chapter until you have full comprehension of the current chapter. If the class is moving at a pace that feels too fast, visit your teacher before or after the school day for some extra help, or consider working with a tutor.

Better math gear Higher level math courses require the right tech tools.

Since tests are most often

timed, be sure to select a calculator with fast processing speeds, an easy interface that reduces the amount of time it takes to work out an equation, and is permitted on standardized tests.

For example, the intuitive icon-based menu of the fxCG50 PRIZM from Casio, has a natural textbook display that makes it easy to use. Supporting students from middle school to college, it also offers USB connectivity that helps students take their lessons from calculator to computer.

More information can be found at CasioEducation.com.

Form a study group The benefits of being in a study group are numerous, from accountability to expanded opportunities to explain the material to others.

Different students will bring different skills to the table, helping everyone fill in knowledge gaps. Consider forming such a group with classmates, and setting regular meetings to go over the latest material together.

Math class doesn’t need to seem so formidable. Improve your grades and test scores with the right tools and study habits. (StatePoint).

Col. Anthony Caputo USMC BURGAW -- Col. Anthony Caputo USMC (Ret), 98, died Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2017 at Pender Memorial Hospital in Burgaw. He was born on May 22, 1919 in Montclair, N.J. to Salvatore and Concetta Caputo.

He was a star basketball and baseball player at the University of Pennsylvania, where he attended the Wharton School. He enlisted in the Marine Corps upon graduation in 1941, and was a decorated veteran of World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Besides several command tours, he served as a diplomat as military attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Sweden. Among other honors, he received the Congressional Gold Medal for his service.

Continued from page 4A hard for me to get two days out of a dress shirt without offending my co-workers and the public with what has been politely called a certain odor. I think I stink, but people don’t like to hurt my feelings.

Shirts were becoming fewer and farther between, and a number of other factors continued to get in the way of repairing the washer. I was getting desperate, and digging into a box of clothing slated for donation I spotted a Brooks tag, and thought I was home-free.

Moving aside a sweater and a pair of dress pants I never wear, I pawed through the darkness to the bottom of the box – and recoiled as the garish pink Oxford mocked me.

For a moment, I wondered if I could get away with perhaps wearing an ascot to cover the gap between my vest and my beard, and keep a jacket on all day, thus hiding the fact I was shirtless. Then I checked the shirts that were en route to a coin laundry, hoping that maybe one had some integrity that could be bulwarked with a shot of Febreeze, a hint of Lysol and a quick trip to the ironing board, assuming I could find the ironing board.

No joy. There wasn’t a single shirt that a hungry vulture wouldn’t find repugnant.

I pulled the pink shirt from the box, and gave it a good snap. Every wrinkle on the

He is survived by his wife; Mary Bowen Caputo, his daughter; Kathryn Kirk, son; Robert Anthony Caputo and wife Amy; grandchildren, Dayna Kirk Corcoran and husband John, Paul Anthony Kirk and wife Tamara, Christopher Kirk, Nicholas Anthony Caputo, and Matthew Joseph Caputo; and great-grandchildren, Connor Corcoran, Quinn Corcoran, Kyra Corcoran, Jude Kirk, and Jacob Kirk.

The funeral service was held at 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017 at Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church, Kelly. disgusting thing immediately disappeared.

I counted the buttons, hoping a critical one was missing.

Nope. Messrs. Brooks had done their usual professional job, blast their Yankee hides.

I thought I was saved when I saw the French cuffs, since there was no way I could find cufflinks before work – then I remembered it would be pushing 100 degrees, and my sleeves would be rolled all day.

Grimacing and growling, I slid into the nearly-new shirt, a gift that should have been regifted far, far away years ago, and with my head hanging in shame, went about the work day. Somehow no one noticed, or if they did, they were so grateful that I didn’t smell like an August plowhorse that they weren’t going to pick on me for wearing that color.

Now, let me be clear – I do not think less of other men who wear pink. We still live in a free country, and one is free to express one’s self in a pink shirt if one so desires. It won’t bother me, and I rarely tease any man who wears pink, blush, rose, fuschia or any of the other colors which I describe as simply, pink. I am a basic Crayola kind of guy when it comes to colors, and to me, pink is pink – and pink is not something I care to wear.

Perhaps it is because of the eternal teasing from my Sister the Troll, who delights in pointing out that I was brought home from the hos-

Dorothy Fedoronko Leimone BURGAW -- Dorothy Fedoronko Leimone, age 101, of Burgaw passed peacefully from her earthly life Oct. 13, 2017 at Pender Memorial Hospital.

She was born Mar. 6, 1916 in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, the daughter of John and Eva Polny Fedoronko. In addition to her parents Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband, Mario Leimone; her daughter, Patricia Cowan and brothers, Joe, Mike, Jerry and Walter Fedoronko.

Dorothy is survived by her daughter, Judy L. Williams (Whrens); son-in-law, Wayne Cowan; grandchildren, Michelle Cowan Huffman (Jason), Jennifer Cowan Holland (Paul), Melissa Cowan, Karen Burton (Davis), and pital as a newborn wearing pink. Now, the facts that there was a blizzard going on, and the hospital nor any of the stores that were open had any boy’s clothes big enough for Miss Lois’ monster never factor into her storytelling, but that’s what sisters are for, I guess.

Whatever my reasoning, I do not like to wear the color pink. It belongs in feminine clothing, not in a man’s wardrobe, at least not mine.

Yet, here I was, parading around in a screaming neon pink shirt whose only good points were that (a) it was clean, (b) I could find it, (c) it fit and (d) it was from my favorite shirtmaker. Above all else. It was clean. I wore a tie that someone once called “hideous” to distract from the blinding baby’s breath of my shirt.

Somehow, I made it through the day without being attacked on the playg round. I was amazed that I wasn’t chased around by people laughing and pointing their fingers, hollering “Look, he’s wearing a PINK shirt!”

It was reassuring, and briefly made me think in terms of perhaps giving the pink shirt backup status. I grabbed a pair of plumbing pliers and went to work on the washing machine, instead.

I needed some clean shirts – in any color but pink.

In My Opinion

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer

Late in the third quarter of the Heide Trask-East Carteret football game last week Trask quarterback Jacob Johnson seemed down for the count. The junior signal caller had taken the Titans on his back and in the process had worn himself thin.

He was down on one knee and appeared to be done for the night.

However, Head Coach Johnathan Taylor has said all year that his young team had character and never gave up. Johnson picked himself up after a timeout and scored another touchdown. That was one of four scores for Johnson as he ran for a career high 247 yards in leading the Titans to a 5324 win.

“Jake is figuring things out, “said Taylor. “Things are slowing down for him a bit now and he realizes that he is capable of being a leader on this team.”

The first half of the game was close with the Mariners throwing the ball often. Meanwhile the Titans countered with a powerful run game buoyed by the triple option.

The Mariners managed a field goal on their opening drive but the Titans answered quickly. Ray Adams took the handoff on the first play from scrimmage for the Titans and raced 63-yards for the score. The extra point was tipped and the Titans led 6-3.

The Mariners scored on their next possession on a long pass that covered 57-yards. After that score the Titan coaching staff could be heard saying “we’re going to have to outscore them to win.” That is exactly what the Rocky Point team did.

Adams scored from two-yards out on the next possession. On the following possession Johnson began his journey to his career best performance with an 87-yard run that started with him taking the ball up the middle. He twisted and turned and found himself in open space. He outran the defense and found the end zone.

East again answered with a Beau Studebaker touchdown to tie the

I have been called a Heide Trask homer for many years now. I have covered high school sports in Pender County for 18 years. I was at Trask when they opened the doors. As a matter of fact, I was there for the first ever football practice.

I have endured some very ugly football seasons in Titan Town. I watched as the team struggled to be competitive. I was there when they went 6-6 under Darren Willis and was there when Glenn Sellers led them to the third round of the playoffs. Yes sir, much like the Farmers Insurance guy, I was there.

I met my current boss about 10 to 12 years ago on the sidelines of a Trask game. Andy Pettigrew was working for another paper.

He too watched some very suspect teams. I cannot tell you how many times we have talked about how

Adams scored his third touchdown on the half with 31 seconds to play in the half. The Titans went into the halftime homecoming ceremonies with a 25-18 lead.

Second half rally lifts Pender over Dixon

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer While everyone focused their attention on what the other teams in the newly formed Coastal 8 conference had done, the Pender Patriot football team simply set their sights on getting better.

After last week’s 36-19 win over conference foe Lejuene, the Patriots find themselves right in the thick of things in the Conference race.

The Onslow County Bulldogs came to Pender County looking to right the proverbial ship. They had won just one game all season and were winless in the conference standings.

They jumped on the Patriots early with a six-yard touchdown run by Aaron Schoenecker. Bulldog quarterback Deante Jackson scored the

second Bulldog touchdown early in the second quarter and the Dixon faithful were excited to be up 13-0.

Pender had their starting quarterback Jaheim McDuffie back on the field after missing the Richlands game. He made his presence known right before the half when he found Malcolm McLean for 32-yards and a score. McDuffie made it 13-8 with a two point conversion and the Patriots were back in the game.

Pender standout Latrell Brown leads the area in rushing yards. However, he only carried the ball three times in the first half. That would change.

The Patriots best offense is when they go through Brown.

They did that in the third frame and the results were evident. Lavell Henry scored the go ahead touchdown in

Lady Pirates end regular season with loss to Ashley

By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer It was Senior Night at Topsail last Thursday and the Lady Pirate community honored the two seniors – Rachel Kapiko and Kensley Hagan – with all the usual pomp-andcircumstance reserved for the special night.

It was also an emotional night for both girls who missed their junior years and, early on, it appeared that emotion might produce a huge upset as the Topsail girls dominated Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference regularseason champion Ashley in the evening’s opening game.

But the Lady Screaming Eagles (19-3, 13-1) found their hitting game, and the early

emotion wore off, as Ashley defeated Topsail 3-1 (14-25, 25-8, 25-16, 25-12) in the final regular-season game of the season.

The Lady Pirates (8-3, 3-11) played what may have been their best overall game of the season in the first game, jumping out to leads of 13-7, 16-9, and 22-11 before a kill by junior Mallory George (three kills, one ace, and seven digs) put the game in win column.

“In the first game we played as well as we have all season,” Topsail Coach Hill Pearsall said. “In and after that first game they began to hit better. They are probably one of the more solid and athletic teams in the conference

the third quarter. Brown scored his first touchdown on the night early in the fourth frame with an electrifying 26yard scamper.

Pender’s defense earned their keep on the night when Treveon Kornegay scooped up a loose football and rambled 21-yards for the score. Jahleik Bucknal finished the scoring with a 3-yard run.

Brown finished the night with 160-yards rushing to lead the Patriots.

The Patriots are now 4-4 overall and 2-2 in conference play. They play at East Carteret on Friday night.

The Coastal 8 Conference is a split 1A-2A conference.

East Carteret and Pender are two of three 1A schools with Lejuene being the other. Both teams have beaten Lejuene.

The winner of this game will come out of the conference with the number one 1A seed out of the conference.

Fumbles cost Pirates a win

By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer Kudos should go out to the Topsail football coaching staff as they put together a solid game plan in preparation for their Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference game last Friday against visiting Laney.

Topsail outgained the Buccaneers 204-190 on the ground and they stayed even in the passing game (56 yards for Laney, 51 for Topsail) – outgaining Laney 254-246. The one thing the Pirates didn’t do was hold onto the football in the Buccaneers’ end of the field, and the end result was their fourth-consecutive defeat after a season-opening four-straight victories.

Senior Alfahiym Walcott accounted for 127 yards (67 rushing, 50 receiving) and junior Jason Billingslea rushed for 81 yards to account for 208 of the Buccaneers’ 246 total yards as Laney held on to defeat Topsail 14-10 in Hampstead.

What stymied the Pirates’ victory chances were two fumbles – one at the Laney 26-yard line on the first play of the second quarter, and another at the Buccaneer 27-

it would be nice to see the Titans have some success.

Well, that time has come.

The Titans had their first winning season last year.

I am sure that I can speak for Andy when I say that we were some proud reporters.

You see, when you cover a struggling program for as many years as we did it begins to hurt your heart to see these young men work hard and never see the fruits of their hard work come forth.

You begin to take each loss personally.

Pender had some success under Tom Eanes. We were there for that. Topsail had some success under Brian Davis. We were there for that as well. Last year the Titans had some long overdue success and then promptly got wronged by the powers that be when they were sent to Union in the first round of the playoffs. Yep, we were there.

This year the team is sitting at 6-2 overall and 3-1 in conference play. Even with that record I am hearing that they need to win two of their last three to ensure themselves a playoff bid.

I hope that the Titans win eight games this year and make the playoffs. I hope that they earn a home game and win a couple of games in the 2A playoffs. If that makes me a Trask homer then I am guilty as charged.

yard line with 9:08 remaining in the game.

There were also two somewhat obscure personal-foul penalties that helped Laney on its game-winning drive.

Both came on offsetting fouls with the second negating what would have been a thirdand-13 for the Buccaneers who got a first down on the next play on a third-and-three. The first came on the same drive as both teams were whistled for personal fouls – Topsail’s again negating what would have been a first-and-25 for the Buccaneers.

“You think?” responded Topsail coach Wayne Inman to a question regarding the Pirates’ self-destruction. “We’ll keep working, we have three games left, and we’ll try to get healthy and eliminate those mistakes. It’s mistakes we made that we don’t normally make. We have to get back to work, we have three games to win and that’s great for us.

“We can’t accept what’s been the norm, and the norm is to win the first four games and shutdown. The defense played well, they only gave up 14 points to a well-coached,

There is an old saying that goes there is always someone around the corner that is bigger and better than you.

While that might not be the case in athletics, The Topsail Pirate soccer team found it that there are no gimmes in the tough Mid-Eastern Conference. Last week the Pirates lost for the first time this season. My old friend Lee Wagner reported on the Pirates.

An outstanding season for the Topsail boys’ soccer team hit its first roadblock Tuesday when the Pirates dropped a 5-1 decision at Hoggard (14-1, 8-0), which recorded its 12thconsecutive victory.

Topsail (13-1, 7-1) took a 1-0 lead into halftime on a goal by senior Blake Culig, his 12th of the year. Senior goalkeeper Jose Lopez made the 1-0 lead standup with eight first-half saves. Senior Roberto Vasquez almost made it 2-0 six minutes into the second half but his free-kick shot sailed over the net.

Hoggard tied the game at 1-1 in the seventh minute on a goal by senior Tanner Gallen. Junior forward Cameron Thayer provided the go-ahead goal for Hoggard in the 51st minute. The Vikings would score three more goals in the match.

It hit another stumbling

block Thursday when the Pirates (13-2, 7-2) were shutout 4-0 at home by Ashley The Pirates had a back-up goalkeeper playing in place of injured starter Jorge Lopez.

The Pirates played host to West Brunswick (6-8-1, 2-6-1) Tuesday on Senior Night.

They travel to Laney (8-11-0, 3-6-0) Thursday.

The Trask Titan soccer team fell to Richlands 4-3 early in the week at their place.

Bryen Woody led the Titans with two goals while Ramon Cisneros added a goal. A day later the Titans celebrated senior night with an 11-2 win over Lejeune. Marquis Anthony led six players in the scoring column with three goals. Sebastian Bautista, Bryen Woody and Will Andrews each scored twice.

The Titans (7-10-1/5-5) hosted East Carteret on Monday and Dixon on Wednesday.

The Pender soccer team fell to Richlands 3-1 last week.

The Pats are 5-9 overall and 1-7 in Coastal 8 play. They were at Dixon on Monday and hosted East Carteret on Wednesday.

Patriot volleyball earns top 1A spot

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Pender Patriot volleyball team has played a tough schedule this year. However, they have come on strong in the last three weeks. Last week they split conference tilts, falling to Richlands in four sets before sweeping Southwest Onslow.

In the Richlands contest the Pats played hard. They lost the first game 25-20 before winning the second game 25-16. They dropped the next two games in losing 3-1. Leading the way for the Patriots

was Caroline Peterson. She had 29 assists on the night.

Kam Thompson had 12 kills and four blocks while Mayce Wood tallied six kills.

Later in the week the Pats swept Southwest. The scores were 25-13, 25-15 and 25-15.

Caroline Peterson had 10 assists and served six aces while Ashley Dupalevich had 12 assists. Jenna Harrell had four kills and three aces with Alex Gorsky chipping in five kills.

The Patriots have a competitive group of seniors this year. Coach Matt Davis has

Football Preview Week 10

Pender teams hit the road this Friday

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer After a week where all three Pender County teams had home games, the teams are on the road this week.

Topsail at West Brunswick The question was asked last weekend after the Pirates lost to Laney. What is wrong with Topsail? There are many answers floating around. The one that comes to my mind is this. The Mid-Eastern Conference is as tough a conference that there is in the state. That being said, the Pirates are not playing up to their potential.

The vaunted Pirate running game has stalled. They have not had a 100-yard rusher since the conference schedule started. This could be in part due to the fact that the offensive line has been pushed around or the teams that they have played are bigger and faster. Either way, Coach Wayne Inman’s style of play is such that if they can’t run the football they don’t win.

West Brunswick is the best 2-6 team that I have ever seen.

They will give the Pirates trouble with their physical play.

It’s time to open the offense up a bit. Set D.J. Montano out in the slot and let Floyd drop back and throw the ball. Use Noah Lavalle as their main back. Twenty-five carries a game is a must right now. I

say line him up behind a fullback and let him go. The problem may be if he can hold up to the beating.

The Topsail defense will have to man up. It is time to make the plays or the team will be sitting home come playoff time. This is a must win. West is a 3A school and Topsail needs a 3A win in conference.

The Pirates will man up in this game. There will be no doubts when this game ends.

Topsail wins big. The score: Topsail 41-West Brunswick 14.

Pender at East Carteret The Pender Patriot football team has quietly put themselves in the running for the top 1a spot in the Coastal 8 Conference. That’s right, the Pender Patriots are 4-4 overall and 2-2 in conference play.

They beat Dixon last week and will travel to East Carteret on Friday night.

The Mariners (5-3/2-2) were manhandled by Trask last week. The Titans ran the ball inside the tackles and East Carteret had no answer for that. That bodes well for the powerful running game of the Pats.

East has a great passing game. The key to slowing that passing game is to get pressure on all state lefty Beau Studebaker. Trask hit him several times and made him pull the ball down and run with it. Pender needs to hit

him at every opportunity.

Latrell Brown is the man.

He leads the area in rushing and is among the leaders in touchdowns as well. The Pats have Jaheim McDuffie back and he gives the team another option with his arm. This Patriot team has several options on the offensive side of the ball.

East will have some success throwing the ball. Studebaker will find some creases with the slant routes and he will burn the Pender defense with the bubble screens and middle screens.

Pender will run the ball right at East. Brown will be a decoy to begin with. When Levelle Henry and company show the Mariners that they too can run the ball things will open up. Look for Latrell Brown to rush for his customary 100-plus yards along with a couple of touchdowns. This will be a high scoring affair.

The difference may well be the Patriots lack of a kicker.

The score: 48-45. Too close to call.

Trask at Dixon The Heide Trask Titans (6-2/3-1) come into this game in search of their first win over a 2A team in the conference while Dixon has not won a conference contest. This is a game that Trask needs to win just to keep pace with the other 2A squads in the Coastal 8 Conference.

Junior quarterback Jacob

Johnson was thrown into the fire when Tyrease Armstrong went down on the first play from scrimmage this season.

Johnson has worked hard and had a coming out party of sorts last week when he went for 247 yards and four touchdowns last week. He has 400 yards and six T.D.s in the last two games. Trask has three backs with at least 498 yards on the year.

Dixon has a very good quarterback in Deante Jackson.

He has over 800 yards rushing this year and is a hand full. The Titans will need to keep track of him at all times.

In fact, Titan linebacker Foster Williamson should follow him from his house on Friday morning and never let him out of his sight.

The best back on the Titans roster is B.J. Jordan. He was not a factor in the win over East Carteret but should be back with a vengeance this week. Ray Adams (191 yds) is a hand full as is Johnson.

This Titan offense runs the ball with the best of them.

The untold story of the Trask win over East is the fact that they allowed the Mariners just seven yards of offense through the third and most of the fourth quarters last week. Foster Williamson is a man among boys and that whole squad can play.

The Titans will run the ball inside and out. Jordan comes back and gets a buck fifty. Trask will rush for over 400 yards. This could be a trap game for the Titans. They better be focused. However, Coach Johnathan Taylor and his muscle, Assistant Coach Randy Pugh will not let that happen. The score: 47-13 Trask.

Lady Titans drop two conference matches

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Heide Trask Lady Titans are deep into the Coastal 8 Conference slate.

They have played each team once and most twice. Last week they played the top team in the Dixon Bulldogs at home before traveling to Croatan to engage the Lady Cougars. Despite dropping both matches Lady Titan coach Cathy Claris was upbeat about her teams play through

the week and the season as well. “Dixon is the best team in the conference. Best setter and best libero. Brittany Foy is good but the Dixon girl is terrific.”

The Lady Titans were in each game against the powerful Lady Bulldogs but struggled serving the ball.

That was all that the Bulldogs needed to earn the sweep. The scores were 15-25, 18-25 and 20-25. Libby Smith and Emily Oyler each had two kills while Lanie Barnhill had four kills

to pace the Titans.

Next up was the second longest ride in the conference to Croatan. The Lady Cougars edged Trask in five sets. The scores were 25-19, 10-25, 25-23, 18-25 and 12-15. Lanie Barnhill had six kills and six blocks for the Titans. Emily Oyler had seven aces and four kills while Libby Smith had six kills. Brayden Smith had seven assists with Jordan Sholar contributing nine assists.

“We almost beat the tiring trip and won on the road,”

said Claris. “We never quit which was awesome. We can play with everyone in the league. Play doesn’t mean winning but playing is being respected by your opponent.

We worked since June 1 to get respect back to Trask volleyball.”

The Titans (11-8/7-6) hosted Pender on Tuesday. The state playoffs begin on Saturday. The Lady Titans should qualify for the playoffs. The seedings will be out near the end of the week.

Thomas shows great promise for Trask Titans

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Heide Trask Titan volleyball team has made great progress in the last six months. The summer league gave the team the time needed to jell as a team as well as to get accustomed to their new coach.

The team has a solid foundation of upperclassmen.

However, there is one young lady on the team that plays well beyond her years.

Freshman Emily Thomas worked hard throughout the summer months and has become one of the better players on the squad. She has the ability to play the back line as well as work on the frontline.

Miss Thomas has the strength to play along the net with the bigger and older players. She has more than held her own prompting Coach Cathy Claris to call her the future of Trask volleyball.

Emily Thomas has shown great promise in just her first year at the high school level.

The Mid-Eastern Conference is full of top-notch programs including three very good 4A teams along with some very talented 3A programs.

However, the Pirates have stayed at the top of the conference for most of the year and until last week were undefeated.

One of the top players on the roster and in the conference is senior Roberto Vasquez.

Mr. Vasquez leads the Pirates with 19 goals scored and is one of the better passers as well.

Roberto works hard while on the pitch as well as in practice. His skills have come from hard work and dedication.

Pender County’s weekly look at what’s biting and where

Still waiting for the spots

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Fishing Fanatic The area anglers have patiently awaited the arrival of the first spot run. I made a trip to the Surf City Ocean Pier last Friday and the anglers were lined up on both sides of the pier and there were no spots to be found.

There have been some nice flounder being caught in the mouths of the creeks in the Topsail area. Live menhaden will work here.

The anglers that were fishing the inland waters found the red fish bite to be pretty good for this time of the year. Your favorite gulp bait along with a tasty finger mullet was working here.

The pompano bite has been decent off of the piers but then there are very few spots showing up.

On the freshwater side of

things the panfish are playing hard to get. The water levels are dropping and the anglers are showing up with baited hooks.. The cats are biting cut up eel and chicken livers.

This week’s fishing tip It’s time to get the gear prepped for the winter months. Remember to clean your reels up and oil them up. Some anglers pack their reels in some type of lube for the winter.

Make sure you store your rods in a place where they will not get damaged. Nothing is worse than getting your equipment out in early spring or late winter and find the tip of your rod damaged.

I like to go through my tackle box and get rid of anything that is questionable. Everyone likes to have room for the newest and best tackle for next year.

Top Performers

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Last week saw the area fall sports teams preparing for the playoffs. The Trask volleyball team dropped two tough conference matches. Lanie Barnhill had 10 kills to pace the Lady Titans while Libby Smith had eight kills.

The Pender Lady Patriots split conference tilts last week. Caroline Peterson had 39 assists for the week while Kam Thompson had 16 kills and five blocks.

The Topsail Lady Pirates lost to Ashley in the last regular season game of the year.

Junior Abbey Miner (five kills), sophomore Makayla Weathers (three aces, nine digs, 11 assists), and junior Rena Marrotta (26 digs) played well for Topsail.

The Topsail tennis team had four players earn bids to the 3A individual tournament. Caroline Harris and Kylee Edwards each earned bids in the singles side of things while Kasey Pfaff and Grace Martorelli earned bids in the doubles.

Patriot seniors set mark for younger players

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Pender volleyball team entered this year with an abundance of senior leadership.

However, senior leadership can only take a team so far. It just so happens that the seven seniors on Head Coach Matt Davis’ roster happen to be very good volleyball players.

Taylor Marshall, Veronica Lewis, Jensen Kissner, Alex Gorsky, Hannah Lewis, Kam Thompson, and Caroline Peterson have played varsity for the past three seasons. As sophomores they took their lumps, winning only four matches and missing the playoffs for the first time in the fifteen years. However, these seniors took it in stride and committed themselves to getting better each year. They bounced back last year and got back into the playoffs and just this week clinched the top 1A birth for the Coastal 8 conference.

These seven seniors have set the bar high for the young players on the Patriot squad.

Sebastian Bautista, Bryen Woody and Will Andrews each scored twice.

The Topsail cross country team participated in the Elite Invitational last week in Kernersville. Freshman Makayla Obremski finished sixth out of 103 runners.

The Pender football team defeated Dixon last week.

Latrell brown rushed for 160 yards. He has rushed for over 100 yards in every game this year. Treveon Kornegay recovered a fumble and returned it for a touchdown.

The Trask Titans demolished east Carteret. Ray Adams rushed for 191 yards and scored three times in the process. On the defensive side of the ball Brian Sarvis had a pick 6, returning the interception back for the score.

Trask quarterback Jacob Johnson was thrown into the fire when the Titan starter got hurt on the first play from scrimmage in the first game of the year. Johnson has had his struggles but has stayed the course and gotten better each week. Last week was his coming out party. He rushed for 247 yards and scored four touchdowns in the win over East Carteret. He is this week’s top performer.

Mary Archer Boyd 6-4, 6-3 in round two.

Pritt and Duckworth topped North Brunswick’s Rylee Jones and Logan Locklear 6-3, 6-0 in round one but lost 6-1 6-0 to New Hanover’s eventual doubles champs Frances Coleman and Kate Thompson 6-1, 6-0 in round two.

Topsail finished 13-4 overall and 9-4 in conference.

Junior-Varsity volleyball The Lady Pirates finished their regular season last week with a split of two conference matches. Topsail defeated Ashley 2-1 (25-22, 23-25, 25-17) Thursday to close out their

Lady Pirates

Continued from page 8A but, overall, I thought we played fantastic.

“The score won’t show that but I think (sophomore MarinellI) Gia (eight kills, three blocks) played the best, she was jumping as high as I’ve seen her all year, and (sophomore Sullivan) Julia (11 kills, two aces, five digs, nine assists) had some great swings from the outside, and everybody played a big part.

We haven’t won every game, but we’ve competed in every game, and that’s important moving forward.”

Senior Katherine Boudreau (14 kills) and sophomore Trinity Rosales (10 kills) got their hitting in sync with senior setter Samantha Luscher (22 assists) and Ashley broke an 8-8 deadlock in the second game on its way to a seven-point victory.

Topsail simply wore down some in the third game and fourth games and couldn’t get any offensive runs (two of three points in the fourth game). Ashley played a more consistently with a six-point run in the third game and a

When the XO (Executive Officer) took off, the SAR pilot (Search and Rescue helicopter, on standby or in in the air during launches) saw the -C rolling with black smoke coming out and went on guard (emergency radio channel) and called “Smoke, you’ve got smoke!” and the XO aborted the takeoff, dropped his hook and rolled into the overrun gear, emergency capture equipment, banged the plane up a little but not bad.

“The SAR pilot had never seen a -C before.”

Tom explained there was no reason for the helicopter pilot to have been trained in the operating characteristic

idiosyncrasies of the various models of the A-4.

“He had already been shot down twice, so that was his ‘rest and recreation’ assignment. He just saw smoke and reacted.”

Back on track, the conversation retur ned to the Douglas Escapac seat, “Yes, a good seat, for 100 knots. If you weren’t going at least 100 knots, you were in trouble, you had to have forward velocity to get the canopy open and the seat out.

“Did you ever eject?” I asked.

“Came close. The engine quit. If you’re below 10,000 ft. the manual suggests you

should abandon the aircraft, but I was over water, and had some altitude, so I ran through the re-light procedure, which is to shut the engine down, wait 30 seconds and try the ignition again.

Fortunately, it re-lit and was OK.” “Longest 30 seconds of your life, I’ll bet,” I said.

“You’re absolutely right,” he laughed.

I can tell you from my own personal experience there is no quiet like an aero engine in flight that is no longer running. It’s a profound quiet.

Next: the “zero-zero” seat, and how an ejection seat works

campaign with an 18-3 (11-3 in conference record). Juniors Lucy-Nestor Dowling (six kills, four aces), Madison Lofton (eight kills, one ace), and Rachel Hobson (six kills, three blocks), and freshmen Izabella Sorace (four kills) and Aiden McGuire (two kills, block) led Topsail to the win.

Tuesday Topsail fell 2-1 (19-25, 25-19, 22-25) at Hoggard.

Sorace (two aces, three blocks, two kills), Nestor-Dowling (three kills, ace), Lofton (nine kills), and Hobson (five kill, three blocks) excelled in the match.

Topsail and Hoggard finished tied for second in the conference behind junior-varsity champs New Hanover.

Cross-country The girls’ and boys’ teams traveled to Kernersville for the N. C. Elite Invitational and, again, had a successful day. The girls’ team – running without their No. 2, No. 3 and No. 6 runners – placed seventh

(190) in the Girls’ Championship race.

Freshman Makayla Obremski continued her stellar season by finishing sixth in 19:04.21 out of 103 runners.

Following Obremski across the finish line were Skylar Libretto (37th, 21:34.94), Bailey (Wells (57th, 22:20.69), Sadie Boyle (60th, 22:28.64), Madison Snyder (67th, 23:05.15), and Lexi Lanza (71st, 23:17.20). 103 runners participated.

The Pirate boys were eighth (185) in the Boys’ Invitational Race in bunched-together fashion within six seconds of each other behind Travis Souza (35th, 18:10.82), Nathan Martinez (36th, 18:11.16), Hayden Rogerson (37th, 18:12.09), Eddie Wofford (40th, 18:15.02), Bryce Dillon (42nd, 18:16.98). 92 runners participated.

In the girls’ freshmen/sophomore race, the Topsail girls were 7th (198) behind Alexis Walsh (28), Stephanie (33), Alexus Rollins (49th), Naomi

Larowe (70th), and Casey Adkins (74th). 98 runners participated.

Two Lady Pirates - Amanda Parrish (18th) and Kylee Adkins (21st) werein a third girls’ race with 34 runners.

In the boys’ open race, Topsail was fourth (98) behind Eddie Rooke (11th), Kevin Zhang (12th), Jacob Wieland (34th), Conner Murphy (37th, Cameron Starrett (39th), and Ken MacVaugh (54th). 110 runners participating.

The boys’ freshmen/sophomore race had Topsail in 12th with Brandon Hayes (43rd), Brad Kimmel (50th), Brandan Parrella (77th), Cameron Bar nes (111th), Jace Bean (123d), and Jakob Pearsall (126th). 181 runners participated.

The Topsail teams will be in the Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference Championships Thursday at Olsen Park (behind Laney).

The boys run at 4 p.m., followed by the girls at 4:30 p.m.

series of runs in the fourth sending everyone home.

Junior Abbey Miner (five kills), sophomore Makayla Weathers (three aces, nine digs, 11 assists), and junior Re n a M a r ro t t a ( 2 6 d i g s ) played well for Topsail.

A trip to Hoggard Tuesday was unsuccessful as the Lady Vikings were not about to let their guests ruin their Senior Night, emerging from the festivities with a 3-0 (25-16, 2511, 25-19) victory with a pair of the Lady Viking senior perpetrating a good portion of the damage.

Topsail led 3-2 early in the opener but an 8-0 run, fueled by a trio of kills from senior Kirby Smith (15 kills, 11 digs) and three Topsail hitting errors, gave Hoggard a 10-3 advantage. Topsail kept things fairly even from there but the damage was done and the Lady Vikings closed things out with a 4-0 surge.

The Lady Pirates were never really in the second game as Hoggard jumped out to a 9-0 lead. Lady Viking senior (10 kills) was the catalyst in the early uprising with three kills and a block with Smith adding thee more kills. Topsail’s longest run was three,

achieved on three Hoggard hitting errors.

Topsail held the early lead in the third game and had a 10-8 lead before a five-point burst put the Lady Vikings up 13-10, and they never looked back. Hoggard took the lead to 17-13, then 20-16. The Lady Pirates fought back with a three-point spurt but a kill by senior Bethany Henry sent the home fans smiling into the night.

Hagan led Topsail with six kills while Sullivan racked up two kills, eight digs, a block, and six assists, George had four kills and Marinelli had three kills two digs, Brown had two kills and a block, and Marrotta had 21 digs (408 on the year) and an ace.

Topsail, which finished the regular season in seventh place in the conference standings, headed to New Hanover (16-6, 11-3) Monday in the opening round of the conference tournament.

“The talent on this team is there but, as I have told you all along, we’ve had three setters, one who has never set before and one who is new to the team, so it’s a lot like football where you have a quarterback that you are changing

in-and-out, and in-and-out,” Pearsall said. “We’ve had a lot of success on the front line, but sometime our backline struggled and we had a lot of inconsistency.

“A lot of that came from the youth early on. We lose to very good girls but we have a lot of talent coming up (from the 18-3 junior varsity) so we’ll move on from there. I would say the future is definitely bright.”

Titans Continued from page 8A a 63-yard jaunt. He found the end zone again a few minutes later from five-yards out. The Titan lead ballooned to 39-18 and the Mariners were on the ropes.

The Titan defense held the East Carteret offense to seven yards of offense in the third quarter. Senior Brian Sarvis capped a great second half performance from this unit with an interception that he returned 41-yards for the score.

East scored once in the final

Lady Patriots Continued from page 8A leaned on those young ladies this year. The results have shown that they have been rock solid for the veteran coach.

“This group of seniors has been a special group. Most of them have played varsity for the past three seasons playing up as sophomores. As you can

Topsail Continued from page 8A quick team, and offensively I felt we played well enough to win except for putting it in the end zone.

“We drove the ball, had it in their territory and turned it over, then we had it down there at the goal line and turned it over. You can’t do that against good football teams and win.”

Topsail took the opening kickoff and drove down the field from their own 47-yad line to the Laney one-yard line behind the running of senior Joshua Smith (29 carries, 92 yards, one reception, nine yards) and the passing of senior quarterback Jacob Floyd (6-for-9, 51 yards) – who completed three passes for 23 yards in the drive.

three minutes of play spoiling what could be described as a near perfect performance by the Titans defense.

Johnson ended the night with a 40-yard run after a late timeout was called to give the junior standout time to catch his breath.

Johnson finished the game with a career high 247 yards rushing and four touchdowns.

Ray Adams had 191 yards and three scores. The Titans finished with 532 yards rushing.

Trask did not have a penalty called against them in the first half and did not turn the ball over in the game.

East Carteret had 117 yards of offense in the second half with the bulk of those yards coming after the outcome was decided.

“This is one of the most satisfying wins I’ve had as a coach,” said Taylor. “These guys have bought into the family type of atmosphere that we preach. I’m proud of each and every one of them.”

The Titans (6-2/3-1) will play at Dixon in a very important Coastal 8 matchup.

The Titans three conference wins have come against 1A opponents. Their next three opponents are 2A.

imagine with a team of sophomores we took our lumps that year with only four wins and missing the playoffs for the first time in the 15 years I’ve been here and I’m sure it had been much longer than that,” Davis said. “But these seniors took it in stride and committed themselves to getting better each year. We bounced back last year and got back into the playoffs and just this week we

clinched the top 1A birth for the Coastal 8 conference. Taylor Marshall, Veronica Lewis, Jensen Kissner, Alex Gorsky, Hannah Lewis, Kam Thompson, and Caroline Peterson, have been instrumental in getting our program back to the place it is now. We will truly miss this group.”

The Lady Patriots finished the regular season on Tuesday at Trask.

It was first-and-10 at the 11 when three plays netted nine yards. But on fourth-and-one a Floyd quarterback sneak was snuffed for no gain, turning the ball over to Laney on downs. On the next Topsail offensive series, the Pirates fumbled at their own 26-yard line and it took only five –plays for the Buccaneers to capitalize Topsail countered with a drive that again stalled at the Buccaneer 10-yard line after a sack pushed them back to the Laney 18. Jorge Lopez made it 6-3 with a 35-yard field goal.

The Pirates then took the lead with a masterful eight-play, 67yard drive that began on their own 33-yard line with 1:25 remaining in the first half.

An 11-yard pass play from Floyd to junior Cameron Barras started the drive and an eight-yard scoring strike from

Floyd to junior Jonathan Ward – and Lopez’ extra-point kick – ended it with 21.3 ticks left until halftime. For a 10-3 Topsail lead.

The Topsail defense forced a Laney three-and-out to start the second half and the Pirates drove from their 22-yard line to the Laney 14 before a fumble curtailed the effort. Laney then went 68 yards on 11 plays with Billingslea punching the eventual game-winner in from three yards out. A two-point pass made it 14-10.

Two runs by sophomore Noah Lavalle (11 carries, 74 yards) helped advance the ball to the Laney 27-yard line but the second devastating fumble ended that drive, and a drive from the Topsail 23-yard line to the Buccaneer 39 ended when a fourth-down Floyd pass was dropped with 1:32 seconds left in the game.

Living

Williams serves generations of patients at Black River Health Center

By Lori Kirkpatrick, Post & Voice Staff Writer

After 38 years with Black River Health Center, Bruce Williams will be retiring. A celebration will be held Oct. 30 from 3 until 5 p.m. at 109 W. Church St. in Atkinson. Williams began his career at Black River Health Center in Atkinson in January of 1980, the only Black River site at that time. A Family Nurse Practitioner, Williams is the most tenured provider at Black River Health Services. He has cared for patients of all ages and with all types of medical problems, from minor issues to more complicated ones.

Williams was born and raised in rural Pender County and has lived there all of his life. He has been married to his wife Cheryle for 40 years, and they have twin daughters, Heather Lanier and Michelle Richardson. They have four grandsons between the ages of two and five. Williams enjoys spending time with his family at the beach and on his boat, as well as working in his yard. He is active in his church, having held many positions such as Sunday School teacher, Sunday School Director, deacon, deacon chairman, Building and Grounds Committee and Medical Response Team.

Williams first became interested in the medical field while serving as a volunteer EMT with the Pender County Rescue Squad during his college years. During that time, he learned of a fairly new profession in medicine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Family Nurse Practitioner. The idea of serving in the rural and underserved area of his community appealed to him, so he changed his major to nursing at UNCW and his journey began.

After receiving his nursing degree from UNCW in 1977, Williams worked in the Emergency Department at New Hanover Regional Medical Center. He was accepted into the FNP program at East Carolina University, where he later graduated in 1979. He began his career at Black River Health Center in Atkinson the following year. Since, in the early years, the center was too small to have an administrator, Williams unofficially wore that hat. He and a non-paid volunteer board ran the business side of the practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bruce has been such a positive influence in my professional growth and in the advancement of my medical knowledge,â&#x20AC;? said Keven Zibelin, a Family Nurse Practioner at Black River. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has been a wonderful, patient mentor to me and has advanced the profession as a Nurse Practitioner during his 38 years with Black River. The reputation of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dr. Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is known far and wide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can remember attending a medical conference in the Western part of the state. During the conference, I introduced myself to a physician.

I said I worked for Black River and the next comment by the physician was, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You work with Dr. Bruce? I just love seeing his patients. He is so good at what he does.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bruce has reached a high level of practice and his patients have benefitted from all his efforts. I look forward to following his example at the Black River Health Center.â&#x20AC;?

Williams is loved by his patients and the community, and he now cares for the children of the children he took care of in his early years. Some of his older patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; families say all Bruce has to do is hold their family memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand and talk to them, and they feel better. Over the years, he has made numerous house calls for both older patients and dying patients whenever the need arose.

Although Williams has received higher paying job offers in Wilmington, he could never seem to pull himself away from Black River. One time he decided to take a job offer with a heart surgeon, and gave his notice. However, patients paid him visits at his home, begging him not to leave Black River. After much prayer, he could not leave his patients and made the decision to stay. Williams will tell you that he is exactly where God wants him to be.

The woman [at the well] said to Him [Jesus], “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

Our fathers worshipped on this mountain; and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship. ”Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain or Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know, we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for such the Father seeks to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

There is the worship that we like and the worship that we don’t like. Everybody has an opinion at least among those who care. The church

has just come through and perhaps still linger a bit in what has been called the worship wars.

Do we use traditional hymns only? or contemporary songs?

Is it printed text or words up on the screen? Praise choruses or hymn texts. Organ, piano, guitars and drums.

Is there a single musician or a whole band. There are lots of opinions today and even The Bible is not devoid of different ideas about worship. Where two or three are gathered together. Worship God with praise and spiritual songs. Sing to the Lord a new song. Each bring a hymn, a prayer, a word. How do we sort it all out?

The exchange at the well concer ning the woman’s clouded past raises a new idea. She thinks that Jesus is some kind of prophets she asks her most pressing question, a theological one, about worship.

One of the offending differences between Jews and Samaritans is over the correct place of worship. The Jews of course say in Jerusalem at the Temple on Mount Zion. the Samaritans say Mount Gerizim.

Which is true the woman asks Jesus?

Jesus says several things.

Worship is not about place or race or gender or one’s level of faith of lack thereof. It’s not about what you say or what you do or how you do it. There is no set formula for worship.

In fact, worship, at its core, is not external at all. You worship God in spirit and in truth; that is to say that worship is internal and spiritual. Worship doesn’t happen until your hearts right, until your mind is focused on God, until your spirit is tuned to God. Worship doesn’t happen until God fills the screen of your mind and heart and your spirit rises to meet Him. There is this curious little story in the Bible about a king who planned a banquet.

All the invited guest couldn’t come so he sent his servant out first to the streets, then to the highways and byways until the banquet hall was full.

During par ty the king comes across a man who is no “dressed” properly for the banquet so he has him tossed out. It seems odd that the king would act in such a way.

The poor man did not know he was going to a party when

he started out that day. But I don’t think it was the man’s dress that brought about his demise. I believe that what the King discerned was the man did not have a party heart, a party spirit.

That was the “dress” he lacked and so he was escorted to the door. To party with the king, we need to bring the right spirit.

We don’t worship God by entering a place and going through certain actions. We worship God by entering into the spirit of God. Jesus didn’t invite us into a place, he invited us into an experience, into the spiritual kingdom of God. We worship with the heart, from the heart. We worship by entering the sanctuary of God’s spirit.

Jesus calls us to walk with him throughout this Lenten journey and to worship God heart to heart, to worship God in the spirit and in the truth of God’s holy word. Come to the well and meet the Lord, worship God within your spirit, honor God with your whole heart.

Community News & Events Blood donations needed D u r i n g B re a s t C a n c e r Awareness Month, the American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood to support cancer patients and others.

Mary Alice Donofrio gave blood for the first time in memory of her mother who received several blood transfusions while being treated for breast cancer.

“I had no idea what to expect, but the experience was very easy and quite rewarding. Ever since then, I try and give blood as often as I can, and every time it gives me a good feeling in my heart. It is so nice to know that taking just an hour or so out of my day can help save the lives of others.”

According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 1.7

million new cases of cancer are expected in the U.S. this year. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, with nearly 253,000 women expected to be diagnosed in 2017.

Cancer patients may need blood products during chemotherapy, surgery or treatment for complications.

Donors of all blood types are needed to help ensure a sufficient supply for patients this fall. To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood. org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
