N.C Wildflower Festival this weekend in Rocky Point By Lori Kirkpatrick Post & Voice Staff Writer
The first N.C. Wildflower Festival is coming May 12 from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. and May 13 from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. at Old Homestead Farms in Rocky Point. The Pender County festival will feature a free art competition for students, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Rocky Point Elementary School. Since the family event will take place on Mother’s Day weekend, free admission will be offered to all moms. “We are excited as the festival is getting closer, and we are hearing great feedback from the community,� said N.C. Wildflower Communication Director Corinne Crooks. “We hope this competition will be an opportunity for students to cultivate an appreciation for art and celebrate their passions!� The art competition is free to all k-12 students. One entry per student will be allowed. Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners for each grade cluster which will include: k-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. All entries should
reflect the wildflower theme and be as creative as possible. Entries should have been submitted by May 5. Crooks said that every aspect of the competition has been designed to motivate students to get excited about art. The careful selection of judges, the manner in which entries will be presented at the N.C. Wildflower Festival, and the prizes to be awarded all reflect the enthusiasm of those planning the event. The competition is free to enter, and the festival will not directly profit from the event. Crooks, who formerly taught at Rocky

Pender County Manager Randall Woodruff presented the 2018-19 proposed county budget to the Board of Commissioners Monday. The new budget comes in at more than $63.5 million, and includes increased funding for schools and holds the current property tax rate. Commissioners will continue budget work this month with two work sessions scheduled. The new budget will be approved in June and take effect July 1 with the beginning of the new fiscal year. “The budget is balanced with no tax increase. There is no solid waste fee increase and no EMS tax increase,� Woodruff said. “There is no reduced level of service to the public in this budget.� Woodruff said there are increases in service to county residents that commissioners have been interested in providing. “This budget includes a significant increase in funding for the Board of Education that is needed for the new schools,� said Woodruff. “It also does some things for our county staff and employees to benefit them.� The proposed budget is a beginning document for Commissioners to work with, and some changes can be expected
over the next several weeks as the Board looks closely at the budget. Commissioner David Piepmeyer asked Woodruff how the county was able to increase the budget without raising taxes. “Pender County is fortunate to be a part of a regional economy. We know our region is growing. Growth brings challenges, but it also enables our tax base to grow,� Woodruff said. “We have experienced significant growth in our tax base during the past three to four years. Some eastern North Carolina counties don’t experience the growth in five years that we have in one.� New construction and new

Notes from the Field
The best of times, the worst of times
Bill Messer “We have met the enemy,” the cartoon character Pogo Possum said on the first Earth Day poster 1970, “and he is us.” I was fresh out of the US Navy, returned to civilian life after a couple of cruises to Viet Nam’s Tonkin Gulf aboard the aircraft carrier, USS Intrepid. The early 60s had been confusing enough before I went into the service, and rapid changes were even more confusing when I got out. I had been military from 1964 through 1968, and I liked it. I was insulated from the concerns over what was going on outside. I had joined the Navy because my recruiter said, more or less, that he guaranteed I could continue my vocation as a photographer, and had a contract to be given preference in consideration for the position. Instead, when I received my orders after boot camp, it was to proceed to Naval Station Treasure Island in California for electronics training. Home on leave, no amount of logic, complaint, or accusations of misrepresentation made any difference to my recruiter. “Read the fine print,” he advised, and pointed to the needs of the country clause, in four-point type, printed in light gray below the asterisks at the bottom of the last page. It turned out to be one of the luckiest breaks I ever got. Everything I did in later life would be based on the foundation of my Navy training. Thanks to the immersion in training, I largely missed the flower power revolution going on in San Francisco at the time, and the Freedom of Speech movement going on across the bay in Berkeley. “The kids out here sure do dress funny,” I thought. And later, at an advanced electronics training center at Naval Station Great Lakes, on liberty, I was accosted by a young hippy looking person waving something in my face and screaming, “Get out of Viet Nam!” “But I’m in Milwaukee!” I protested, to no avail. Like I said, I was involved in my military life. When I came home, the world had changed, in my eyes. I let my hair grow out, got some bellbottoms, tried a version of a middle Georgia flower child, then decided I couldn’t make a living as a flower child, and went back to school through the GI Bill. It was the last years of the 60s, and by 1970 I had recov-
ered enough and settled down into a view of optimism for the future. After all, we had put men on the moon, and we seemed, as a nation, to be developing a sense of our responsibility to make the world a better place for everyone. I had graduated from college. Jobs were plentiful and I entered the workforce after going through the want ads in the paper and a trip to K-Mart for a shirt and tie. Life was good, and getting better. Opportunities opened and the 80s came along. Gregg Allman had married Cher, and in my mind Southern Rock was done, and this was the age of Disco. Disillusionment began to set in. Was there nothing sacred? Were there no absolutes? American cars faced stiff competition from higher quality imports, but eventually faced up to the challenge and shifted production to meet or exceed the challenge. Again, the changes seemed to be for the better. I went to work for a very large technology company, and became more and more aware of international business competition, and the role of money, politics, and governments. “The future’s so bright I gotta’ wear shades,” the musical group Timbuk3 promised. But, in the face of the racial tensions, riots and fires in my home town, the marches in Birmingham and Selma, the death of Martin Luther King, I wondered about “Truth, justice and the American way,” the words of Superman, and the reflection of our national character, “one nation, undivided, with liberty and justice for all.” Freedom is not free, and justice didn’t seem equally available to all. It has to be nurtured and guarded from the many who work to subvert the American democracy and Constitution for their own profit. The enemy is us, and we seem to be unable to do the right thing: nurture a government of, by, and for the people. Instead, what we have now seems to be a government insulated and isolated from the people by money. Large amounts of wholesale bribery (campaign contributions) and the power and money buying influence and access in Congress prevent government by the people and enable government by money. Both major political parties are equally guilty. Now, not to belabor the point, that’s just the way it is, and it’s called politics and we are in an awful mess, in which any dissent, any deviation from party loyalty, and reason falls by the wayside and vicious attacks displace reason and considered logic. President George Washington warned citizens that one of the dangers to American

The importance of being hungry I read a news story the other day about how college students were “going hungry.” I admit, I was a little bit confused – being hungry was part of the college experience back when computers used huge floppy discs and some of us still used typewriters. Of course, the term going hungry has changed a bit, too – it used to conjure up images of starving children in Third World countries. Then it came to describe (as well it should) the truly needy in our own backyards, and the children of families having a hard time making ends meet. By the way – if you ate fast food last week, or have more than two cans of beans in the cabinet, you should be ashamed if you don’t participate in the Backpack Buddy program or your local food bank. I am just a bit perplexed at the concept of college students going hungry. Now, it takes a right smart chunk of change to go to college

Jefferson Weaver nowadays. It wasn’t cheap 30 years ago, but between loans and a few scanty scholarships, my parents’ determination and me working between classes, we paid the bills. I reckon there were a few times when I might have been classified as “going hungry,” considering the definition I read made it sound as if missing one meal sit-down meal a day, more than twice in a week
put on the verge of starvation. Whilst I never thought I would become old enough to say these words, when I was that age, if you were hungry, it was likely your own choice. In my case, I am ashamed to admit, that choice was often due to adult beverages, a movie, a road trip, or all of the above. One could, if one truly

Help in finding misplaced things Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any products or devices to help seniors track down lost or misplaced items, like car keys, wallet, cell phone, etc. My husband has become forgetful in his old age, so we spend a lot of wasted time looking for things. Frustrated Spouse Dear Frustrated, There are actually a wide variety of tracking devices that can help you and your husband find items that are commonly misplaced or lost. Here are some top options to consider depending on how tech savvy you are. Smartphone or tablet users If you or your husband uses a smartphone or tablet, you can easily track down lost or misplaced items like keys, a purse, wallet, remote control, smartphone, tablet or laptop with a Bluetooth tracker like TrackR (thetrackr.com, $25 or $30 per tag) or Tile (thetileapp.com, $25 per tag). Both of these products pair with an Apple or Android smartphone or tablet app, which will help you locate the missing item. All you do is attach a small TrackerR or Tile tag to the items you want to keep track of with an adhesive sticker, a key ring or you can just slip it inside the item. Then, when a tagged item
goes missing, you simply access the app on your smartphone or tablet to see how far away you are from the item or last known location on the map. If you’re within 100 feet, you can make the tracking device ring so you can follow the sound. Or, if you or your husband loses your phone or tablet, both TrackR and Tile work in reverse, allowing you to press a button on the device to make your phone or tablet ring (even if it’s on silent) as long as it’s nearby. And to help you avoid leaving items behind, TrackR can be set to sound an alarm when there’s too much distance between your phone and device. Low-tech inders If, however, you or your husband don’t have a smartphone or tablet, there are radio frequency devices like Click ‘N Dig (clickndig.com) that can help you find lost/ misplaced items. This device comes with one finder fob/remote and four or six tags for $26 or $39 respectively. Attach a tag to the items you want to keep track of with adhesive or a key ring. Each tag is color-coded and corresponds to a colored button on the
finder. When an item goes missing, you simply press the colored button on the finder fob and the tag will flash and beep. The signal will go through walls and cushions, but you’ll need to be within at least 60 feet of your lost item. Make sure you keep the finder fob in a safe spot, because if you misplace it, you won’t be able to find the tagged items. Another good option, and one that doesn’t require a finder fob, is Find One Find All or FOFA (findonefindall. com). This device can manage up to six items. It comes in a key-fob finder and/or a flat, credit card sized finder for your wallet, remote, phone, tablet, etc. These finders can be attached to items you wish to keep track of, and because each finder is also a transmitter, as long as you can find one FOFA tagged item, you can locate the rest. FOFA finders sound an alarm when signaled so you can follow the sound to locate the missing item, but the range for this device is only 30 feet. Cost: $25 for two finders.

Public Opinion Good neighbors in Pender On Tuesday afternoon, May 1, we were on Hwy 117 in Pender County. A friend had offered a spot on his property for us to store our 42-foot fifth-wheel trailer. As we pulled onto his property, both axles and tires slipped into a gully. We were stuck. We called for towing about 4 p.m., and were told someone would be out in an hour and a half. As we waited, several people stopped to offer help. Some had places to
be, but four wonderful men stayed around. These neighbors had big trucks, towing chains, and one even had a 12-ton jack in the back of his pickup. The auto club kept pushing the arrival time out, so the Friendly Four took matters in their own hands, and using the jack, they gradually lifted the 15,000-pound unit up. Shoring up the tires, they were able to position the trailer so that Robert could back out of the ditch. Big

Well BEing How are you doing? And how many times a day do you ask and answer that question? Do you really want to know? We ask this question out of habit, and usually offer a rote response. But have you ever considered asking someone how they are being? Or WHO they are being? Doing is just the observable part of who we are, yet we tend to define ourselves, and judge others based on outward actions. My experience suggests that people tend to live backwards: they DO what they think they need to DO, in order to HAVE what they think they want, so they can BE whatever it is that society or their current social circle suggests is appropriate or desirable. In reality, we must BE who we truly are, from the inside out. When we honor our authenticity, then what to DO becomes obvious. And when we take authentic action, we often realize we already HAVE everything we need to be happy and successful in life. Because happiness does not come from success, success comes from happiness. When you choose happiness, you are sure to experience success. Have you ever considered starting your day with a to BE list instead of a to DO list? Why not try it and see what happens? After all, we are human beings, not human doings. That catchy Army tag line remains a daring directive: BE all that you can be! It says nothing about doing all you can do, or having all you can get. It is who we are that creates the essence of our existence, not what we do or have. Yet that is the inevitable adult inquiry within minutes of making a new acquaintance: ‘What do you do?’ We tend to define ourselves through our experiences, often making snap judgments based on occupational, material and physical characteristics of others. We assume that people are doing well based on our external evaluation of their accumulations; never realizing that behind the scenes their lives may be void of meaning and/or purpose, their marriage may be broken, their health may be compromised or threatened. Wellness is a hot topic in wise workplaces these days, and I have the pleasure of speaking on related issues in a variety of venues. Individual and collective wellbeing have a huge impact on every business’ bottom line; so much so that some organizations even pay employees extra for participating in a plethora of wellness events ranging from onsite seminars to biometric screenings. Wellness is a whole person prospect; a multifaceted, somewhat elusive equation encompassing a cumulative combination of choices. Well BEing is a natural byproduct of living a happy healthy life. Here’s to your wellbeing. Please let me know if I can help. (missy@islandtimeanytime.com)

Out and About with Pender Tourism
Tourism in a whirlwind
Tammy Proctor Pender County Tourism Director Post & Voice Editor Andy Pettigrew accused me of not writing a column since the news that the Lost Colony was actually lost. I’m not certain if he’s accusing me of being old or being tardy. No offense, because I know Andy is older than me. But I digress and he will edit.
I haven’t written a column in quite some time because we’ve been in a whirlwind in the tourism office. Since April 14, we’ve been involved in numerous projects, including the first-year events Pender Pawzapalooza and Scallywags Weekend. Pender Pawzapalooza was an event to raise awareness and funds for the Pender County Animal Shelter. Burgaw Parks and Rec hosted the event at Rotary Park. It was an event that united Pender County Health Department, tourism, the animal shelter, Pender Parks and Rec, and the Town of Burgaw. For a first-time event, a nice size crowd of animal lovers attended and some lucky animals were adopted from the shelter. Scallywags Weekend, the celebration of the 300th anniversary of Blackbeard and
Stede Bonnet, was a familyfun event. This was a collaboration of the Town of Surf City’s parks and rec, police and fire, Pender EMS, the Greater Topsail Area Chamber of Commerce, The Raven, Tiki Tours, Ron Shirley and his pirate friends, Topsail Steamer, and 28 businesses who encompassed a Scavenger Hunt. While we were setting up Scallywags Weekend, we received an email from the National Association of Counties (NACo) informing us that the Ghost Walk: Ghosts of Pender’s Past will be awarded a national 2018 Achievement Award in the Arts, History, and Culture Category. The Ghost Walk, an annual event, is again a collaboration of organizations, including Pender County Historical Society, Historical Society of Topsail Island, Pender
Arts Council, Moores Creek National Battlefield, Pender County Schools’ staff and students, and numerous actors and arts. I measure an event’s success by the union of various organizations for one goal. We learn so much from other organizations and we increase our chances of success by working together. We’re not a lost colony when we work together. Editor’s Note: I think Tammy is older. But this is opinion, of course. I’m not going to ask.

week. We assiduously kept track of whose turn it was to tip, if someone was a little short the time before. In essence – we might have been hungry, but we didn’t know it. I would not, under any circumstances, mock someone who is truly hungry. I drive enough that I sometimes think I am a magnet for those in need. They are why I have a box of MREs in each of my vehicles, despite the double-contradiction of the name Meal, Ready to Eat. I have been accused of playing a cruel joke for offering a needy person one of those brown bags, but if they’re good enough for our military and disaster victims, they’re good enough for me. I reckon my perspective is a bit twisted, since whenever I have been hungry, I tried to do something about it. Sometimes I have had to ask friends or family for help with groceries. Sometimes I have had to catch or hunt supper. God always provides, one way or the other, and quite honestly, you haven’t dined til you’ve had corn-fed country pigeons in rice, or catfish caught on a piece of greasy rag, or venison fried with forgotten apples that required the sweat of your brow. During one odd summer, a year or two out of college, I was determined to make a living selling fiction. That was likely the closest I’ve ever come to being truly hungry. There were times that I caught bait with a cast net and was faced with the choice of trying to sell the bait, use it to catch something more palatable, or just enjoying the bird (or rather fish) in the hand. I somewhat reluctantly ate snapping turtles, since I’ve always liked the old dinosaurs. Had
nutria rats made their way to the city where I was an atypical starving artist, I can assure you I would have been relishing a plate of ragoutain whenever possible. Now, this is not to say I never had more traditional groceries, but I was often remarkably short. When I finally swallowed my pride and de-prioritized the dream, my caloric intake went up (and frankly, the quality of my writing improved). I firmly believe we all need to be a little hungry sometimes; not necessarily destitute starving hungry, as are the truly needy, but just peaked enough to appreciate what we have. And I’ll make a standing offer to any of these college students who are going hungry. For no charge at all, I’ll be happy to help you learn a few ways to earn some extra dollars, and on top of that Miss Rhonda will be sure you eat, in the bargain. It might be simple fare, it might not be fancy, but it won’t be MREs. If you can afford to attend college, however, I still think there is much to be said about enduring tough times. It makes you work harder and better appreciate the sacrifices made by others so you can further your education, and makes you understand the importance not just of being hungry, but the recognition that you can, if you really want, do something about it. I understand the desire of virtually every college student to want to change the world – but as the saying goes, you have to learn how to start a lawnmower before you can start a revolution.

Continued from page 3A needed food, find a way to provide. Skip the party. Pick up change in a parking lot. Do some day work, or get another job. If things were really bad, one could swallow one’s pride and ask mom and dad for help – for many of us in my class who found ourselves in that dilemma, that help didn’t come in the form of cash, but actual real food. For the record, I worked in college – I mowed grass, hauled appliances, cut fish, caught fish and shrimp, sold scrap metal, did some freelance writing, tutored other students, and eventually worked for the college newspaper. At many universities, somebody would give you a job if you needed to make some money. It might be in the cafeteria, it might be sweeping floors, raking leaves, or shelving books, but if you were hungry, it was your own fault. I worked hard, but sometimes I made some bad choices. Sometimes I found myself broke and by the modern standard, hungry. So I – and most of my friends – doubled down and worked harder. Maybe we didn’t get to enjoy the “college experience” as much as some folks, but one of my fellow hard scrabblers was just recently appointed to a very prestigious position with the state. Another one stays busy running a business he built from virtually nothing, that now operates in several states. I can assure you, we still had plenty of fun. We also knew the times, cost and location of every buffet and good diner. We learned how to stretch a couple boxes of macaroni and cheese and a few other staples over the course of a

NCHSAA says player ineligible, wins forfeit, team parents outraged
Topsail baseball not in playoffs
By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer The North Carolina High School Athletic Association posted the official – and final – baseball, softball, and soccer playoff schedules on their website Monday and what many associated with the Topsail baseball program feared became official – the Pirate baseball team will not be in the NCHSAA 3A state playoffs. Topsail was declared ineligible due to the use of a player judged to be ineligible last Wednesday due to academics. Senior Alex Postma was on the official scorecard and dressed for the entire year. A non-starter, the speedy Postma, known as “White Lightening,” was utilized quite often as a pinch-runner or courtesyrunner – more often than not for catcher Colby Emmertz. A courtesy runner is used for the pitcher or catcher when they get on base so they can prepare to take the field after
“The administrators who failed to do their job need to be held accountable for this. We all know what devastating consequences have been bestowed on this team...” Team parent’s statement
their team’s at-bat in an effort to speed up the game. Postma is listed as a “twiceexceptional” child He is both extremely intelligent but plagued with debilitating anxiety rooted in depression, and he is non-verbal. He has struggled with these issues even as a young child and consequently has always had a challenge with school attendance, although he is very bright and has always been able to make up lost time or work almost effortlessly. In the last seven years, he has only made it through a full school year once. Postma recently went from part-time to full-time online classes through APEX Learn-
ing, Inc. – a privately held provider of e-learning solutions for K-thru-12 education home-bound students that’s approved by Pender County Schools. The problem arose when Principal Berry Simmons was tipped off early this month that Postma might be ruled ineligible because he missed several classes after spring break due to a diagnosis with anxiety and depression. After the falls semester – when eligibility for spring sports is determined – it had been alleged that the student and the school worked out a course arrangement through APEX. Simmons informed the family of the investigation into Alex’s eligibility on May 3. `”I am still miffed, to be
sure,” Alex’s father, Dr. Michael Postma said. “To me this is a massive oversight by the school administration. We were delighted when he made the team as he can get on the field and not necessarily be verbal because he is in a comfort zone. They kept changing the reasons, to us, as to why he was ineligible. “Technically he is ineligible but the point is it should have been caught long before he made the team. It’s the job of the athletic director to insure the eligibility. The bigger story, to me, is it’s a civil rights issue. You cannot disqualify a student for being home bound. There are circumstances here that should be taken into con-

Titan nine beats Pender, ends season with loss at Richlands By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer
The Heide Trask Titan baseball team went into the final week of the 2018 baseball season on the proverbial bubble as far as making the state 2A playoffs were concerned. In fact, head Coach Ronnie Pruitt thought that it was imperative that his team win out if they were to make the post season. After beating Pender 6-2 they were looking to finish the regular season strong with a win over Richlands. The Wildcats proved to be too tough for the Titans as Trask left Onslow County with a 5-4 loss and just an outside chance at making the playoffs. Against the Patriots Pruitt started his big lefty in Nathan Harrell. The super senior does not have 90-mile an hour fastball or a great big hooking curve ball. What he has is the heart of a lion and the even keeled disposition that makes him effective. Harrell showed his stuff at Pender’s place, going the distance, giving up four hits and striking out seven in taking the 6-2 win. Trask broke a scoreless game in the top of the third with two runs and added
The Pender Patriot baseball team beat the Heide Trask Titans at their place early in the year. That loss sparked a 4-2 run for the Pats and settled them into a run for the top 1A spot in the split Coastal 8 Conference. Last week the Titans traveled to Pender and returned the favor as senior Titan Nathan Harrell held the Pats to three hits in beating the home team Patriots 6-2. Two days later the Patriots traveled to Lejeune and beat
Everything in the early part of last week put a positive spin on the confidence scale as the NCHSAAA 3A state playoffs approached. Confidence was high and the girls on the Topsail softball team appeared to be having fun, and definitely looked tournament-ready – until the fourth inning of Thursday’s
In My Opinion I raised two daughters and coached many years of fast pitch softball. I have been part of boards of directors and have headed up umpire crews. I have even coached youth football. Throughout all of these endeavors that by the way, have stretched across 24 years, there has been one constant – mothers. Mothers will be mothers and I don’t mean that in a bad way. Last week I was at the Trask-Pender baseball game. When the national anthem was played there was a problem that caused the song to be cut short. Right out of the blue several ladies started singing the remainder of the song. I will be honest with you, it gave me chills. I am sure that there were a few guys voices in there but for the most part it was mama’s and grandmas. It made me think about what the mothers and grandmothers in the area do for their young and not so young ones. Over at Trask there have been a few ladies that have gone above and beyond to make sure that their sons have had everything that they need off the field to be successful. In return, these young men have been standup guys. It seems as if the mamas take care of their boys until the day that they leave the nest and beyond. In return, these young men will do anything for their

their fellow 1A combatant 5-4 clinching the top 1A spot in the conference. Against Trask sophomore Daniel parker took the mound and kept the Titans off the scoreboard until the third frame when the Titans plated two baserunners. Trask added four more runs against senior reliever Chase Norris in the sixth frame. Pender scored twice in the bottom of the sixth inning but could not solve Harrell. Parker took the loss on the mound, going 4.2 innings. He gave up two runs and had three strikeouts. Tyler Nor-
ris led the Pats at the plate with one hit and a run batted in. Next up was the Lejeune Devil Pups. Coach Jeff Lee started his ace in junior Jeff Lee and he answered the bell with 4.2 innings of work that included just one earned run. Senior Chase Norris relieved his brother and threw 2.1 innings of scoreless baseball. Tyler Norris led the team with two runs batted in while Chris Olivas had two hits and an RBI. The win clinched the top 1A spot in the Coastal 8 for the Patriots. However, the
loss to Trask sent the Patriots into a tie for third in the overall standings with Richlands. The two teams split during the regular season, therefore, a tie breaking game was scheduled. The Wildcats took the tie breaker in a hard fought 5-4 game. Josh Roberts took the loss on the mound while Stephen Brunetti led the Pats offense with two hits and two runs batted in. The Patriots finished the regular season with an 8-15 record that included an 8-7 conference mark.

mamas. I am sure that this happens with the basketball and football players as well, but it seems to be more prevalent during the spring. The same can be said for the girls on the softball team and their daddies. Everyone who knows me well, knows that my oldest daughter and I were best friends until the dreaded boys showed up. However, I find it very amusing and honestly quite fascinating that these boys are so close to their mothers. In fact, I will say this – we have a bunch of Mama’s boys around here. That’s a good thing. It says a lot about the way our children are being raised. You can best bet that these young men know how to treat a lady. I see it all the time in the way they treat their mothers. I believe that it’s a blessing for both mothers and sons. I also believe that it will translate into the real world. Good job Mamas.

final regular-season game at West Brunswick when the optimism bubble took a big hit. West Brunswick sent 14 players to the plate and that group pounded out eight hits – including a mammoth home run by winning pitcher Morgan Beeler – on their way to 11 runs to break open a close 2-1 game in a 13-2 mercy-rule shortened five-inning win over Topsail on the Lady Trojans Senior Night in
Shallotte. West Brunswick finished the regular season with 21-1 (13-1 in conference), and definitely looked tournamentready with the dominating Beeler (5 IP, six hits, zero walks, six Ks) throwing just 71 pitches (47 strikes). Topsail batters only hit seven balls into the outfield with freshman Sydney Hartgrove going 2-for-3 and sophomore Darbvie Lisk accounting
for the only Lady Pirate run with a long home run to dead centerfield. The Lady Pirates sail into the playoffs at 17-6 (10-4).

The North Carolina High School Athletic Association announced their playoff seedings on Monday afternoon. Pender High’s baseball and softball teams earned bids while Topsails softball team is in. The Patriot softball team earned a first round home contest by virtue of finishing as the second 1A team out of the Coastal 8 Conference. The Patriots (12-11) are a 16 seed and will host the 17th seeded Weldon Lady Chargers out of the Tar-Roanoke Conference. Game time is slated for 7pm. If the Lady Patriots win they will plat at the number one seeded East Carteret Lady Mariners on Saturday. The Pender baseball team is the top 1A squad out of the
Coastal 8 and will travel on Wednesday. They drew John A. Holmes out of the Albemarle 1A Conference. The Aces finished second in the conference and will host the 8-15 Patriots on Wednesday. If the Patriot hardballers win Wednesday, they will play at Louisburg on Saturday. The Topsail Lady Pirates finished the year with a 17-6 record and were awarded a first round game at home. They will host Orange High School out of the Big 8 3-A Conference. The Panthers finished third in what is considered to be a very strong conference. The Lady Pirates finished second in the Mid-Eastern Conference behind the 21-1 West Brunswick Lady Trojans. A win on Wednesday will send the Lady Pirates to the winner of Aycock and Havelock on Saturday.
Kickers Corner By Bobby Norris & Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writers The last week of the regular season may very well be the last week of the 2018 soccer season for all three County High School soccer teams. Last week the Heide Trask Lady Titans beat Pender 3-0 behind the play of freshman Anisa Lewis. the standout first year player scored two goals while sophomore Caleigh Bell scored the other goal. Freshman Keeper Leanna Pfeiffer earned the shutout in the net. Next up was a match at Richlands. The Wildcats earned a tough 3-0 win. Pfeiffer had 15 saves in the contest, giving her 139 saves in 16 games. She has allowed 17 goals in 16 games. And has five shutouts. A season that began with some controversy as a new coach took over a downturn occurred when senior starting goalkeeper Hailey Childress was lost for the season early in the regular schedule, and now it has officially come
to an end. West Brunswick goalkeeper Joi Sturdivant made a first-half goal standout up as the Lady Trojans defeated Topsail 1-0 for their second conference win, the other a 4-0 win over the Lady Pirates on April 10. Lady Pirate sophomore goalkeeper Brianna Vreils had six saves. Topsail put 34 shots on goal but could not find the back of the net. Tuesday sophomore Mia Hogan scored four times and freshman Bella Murray added two scores to lead the way as Ashley defeated Topsail 9-0. Childress played the first seven games before sustaining her season-ending injury. The Lady Pirates won both their games (2-5) with the

Lady Patriots slam Trask, Lejeune; home in first round of state playoffs By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Pender Lady Patriot softball team has endured many setbacks during their 2018 softball season. However, throughout it all first-year coach Corrina Reece has kept her team in the hunt for a playoff berth. Last week was a perfect example of what the team has endured. The Pats fell at Southwest Onslow 6-3 behind four errors before slamming both Trask 18-3 and Lejeune 17-3. The latter being an important matchup with a 1A combatant. The win all but ensured that the Lady Patriots
will earn a playoff bid. Pender went to Southwest Onslow hoping to sweep the season series with the Stallions. However, the Patriots forgot to bring their best defensive effort. Four errors including giving up four runs to the Stallions in the first inning spelled defeat. Freshman Haley Schaeffer has taken over the bulk of the pitching duties for Reece while junior right hander Lauren Gammons nurses her sore wrist. Schaeffer took the loss in the circle. Tyanna Holmes led the Patriots with a 2-3 performance that included one run scored. Kaitlyn Beaver
scored two runs for Pender. Next up was a weak and undermanned Trask team. The Pats made quick work of the Titans, beating them 18-3 in three innings. Holmes went 4-4 in the contest with four runs scored and three runs batted in while Ashley Dupalavich was 2-3 with a homerun and three RBI. Lauren Gammons was 3-3. Schaeffer earned the win in the circle in the abbreviated contest. The final game of the week was at Lejeune. The Devil Pups were also undermanned and were beaten 17-3 by the potent Patriot charge.
Pender-Topsail Post & Voice, Thursday, May 10, 2018, Page 7A
Gammons was 3-4 in the game with two runs batted in while Holmes had three hits and four runs batted in. Schaeffer earned the win in the circle with a four-hit performance. The freshman has filled in admirably for the Pats in the last two weeks. She was 2-1 on the week. Holmes was 9 for 11 for the week with eight runs scored and seven RBI. The Patriots finished the regular season with a 12-11 mark that included an 8-6 conference record. Playoff seedings were not available by press time. They will play Wednesday.
Post & Voice Top Performers By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Last week was the final week of the regular season in the spring sports genre. The Trask and Pender track and field teams participated in the Coastal 8 Conference championships held at Trask by the masters of the track meet , Ed Gilroy and Bill Mercier. The Trask boys finished second and the Pender boys were right behind them in third while the Pender girls finished third. The Lady Titans finished seventh. Pender’s Makhel Henry won the 100-meter sprint and was part of the Patriots 4x200 team that took first place. The other members of that team were Lavell Henry, Ja’rek Foster, and Malcolm McClean. Alex Kraft won the long jump and the triple jump to pace the Titans while B.J. Jordan took second in the 100meter sprint. Shawn Mears-
Denison won the Shot put for Trask. In Topsail track and field, Sophomore sprinter Madison Lofton finished first in the 100-meter dash and second in the 200. Lofton ran the anchor legs on the second-place 4x100 relay, joining up with Carmen Pyrtle, Abigail Hunt, and Isabel Hayes, and on the fourth-place 4x200 relay with Pyrtle, Hunt, and Hayes. Pyrtle added a sixth-place finish (31-9) in the triple jump. Payton Little was first in the discus and second in the shot put. On the boys side of things Adam Hart won the shot put and the discus throw. The Trask boys baseball team beat Pender last week.

Topsail Sports Roundup By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer It seems like it went by so quickly but the end of the 2018 spring season is upon us. The boys’ tennis team has concluded its season, and the girls’ soccer team is packing away the uniforms and the gear. But two players from the boys’ golf team are moving on, as individuals, to the NCHSAA 3A State Championships, and both the boys’ and girls’ lacrosse teams made their respective playoffs. Then there are those track performers – especially on the girls’ side – that will be traveling Mount Olive University this Saturday (May 12). Boys’ golf The team just missed qualifying for the 3A state competition with a fourth-place finish (326) last week behind regional champion Clayton (306), runner-up South Brunswick (312), and third-place finisher J. H. Rose – all of whom quali-
Kraft jumps his way to the top for Trask Titans By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Senior Heide Trask Titan student-athlete Alex Kraft has made his mark on the track and field arena over the last two years. The senior standout has also dabbled in baseball as well as other sports. However, it seems as if his knack for being able to jump longer and higher than most of his opponents in the Coastal 8 may be what he is suited best for. Kraft has had a great spring track season. He has won numerous events along the way. Last week he again proved that he is the best in at least two events in the Coastal 8. Alex won both the long jump and the triple jump in the conference championship last week. He will now prepare for the 2A regionals in two weeks. Alex Kraft has jumped his way to the top of the Coastal 8 Conference.
fied – at the 6,720-yard, Par-72 Oak Island Country Club. Individually, two Pirates qualified for the state meet. Evan Higgins shot a 75, finishing sixth out of 78 golfers, and teammate Max Johnston shot a 79 to finish four-way tie for 12th. South Brunswick’s Walker Isley (71) was the medalist, followed by Cougar teammate Xavier Williams. The state competition was Monday and Tuesday (May 7-8) at Long Leaf Country Club in Pinehurst. Other Pirate scorers were Harrison Wierse (tied for 17th; 81), Barrett Holmes (42nd; 91), and Anthony Tartaglione (43rd; 92). Track & field Another good day last Thursday on the track and in the field events as for the Lady Pirates as they compiled 101 points to finish third behind Laney (185.5) and South Brunswick (118.5) at the MidEastern 3A/A Conference Championships at Hoggard. Two school records were

established with talented freshman Isabella Bufalini involved in both. Bufalini finished second in the 800-meter run in a school-record 2:26.67, just ahead of teammate Makayla Obremski (3rd; 2:30.94). Bufalini and Obremski then teamed with Bailey Wells and Skylar Libretto for third in the 4x800 relay in a school record 10:17.7. Obremski came back to finish fifth (12:08.36) in the 3,200-meter run. Sophomore sprinter Madison Lofton had a busy day, finishing first (12.45) in the 100-meter dash and second (25.26). Lofton ran the anchor legs on the second-place 4x100 relay (51.7) – joining up with Carmen Pyrtle, Abigail Hunt, and Isabel Hayes – and on the fourth-place 4x200 relay (1:50.47) with Pyrtle, Hunt, and Hayes. Pyrtle added a sixth-place finish (31-9) in the triple jump. Payton Little was first (101.7) in the discus – and second

Williams sets sights on great Pirate postseason By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The game of softball can often be divided into different categories. There are those that hit for power and those that hit for average. There are also those that play the field and give up their spot in the batting lineup to another. For senior outfielder Tanesha Williams giving up her spot in the batting order is not an option. Miss Williams is a well rounded high school softball player. She fields the ball well and is also very good at the plate. Her numbers tell the story. She is batting .433 with 22 runs batted in and 22 runs scored. She has 14 stolen bases and has not been caught this year. Miss Williams is not a one trick pony. She has only two errors in the field all season. With the regular season behind her, Tanesha Williams has her eyes on the postseason.
nings. The Trask soccer team beat Pender 3-0 behind two goals from Anisa Lewis and a shutout performance by keeper Leanna Pfeiffer. The Topsail softball team beat previously undefeated North Johnston 3-1 behind the arm of sophomore Addy Howard. She went seven innings, giving up five hits while striking out four. Darbie Lisk was 2-3 with two ribbeys. The Pender softball team won two of three games last week. Ashley Dupalavich was 2-3 in the win over Trask with a dinger and two ribbeys. Lauren Gammons was 3-3 on the day. Haley Schaeffer was the winner in the circle. Against Lejeune, Schaeffer also picked up the win while Gammons was 3-4. This weeks top performer is Pender freshman Tyanna Holmes. She was nine for 11 last week at the plate with eight runs scored and seven runs batted in.

I have nothing but positive things to say about them.” Along with Alex, the real victims here are the other players, and the other six seniors who saw their chances at a state title go by the wayside. Topsail finished the season with an overall record of 16-7 and 10-4 in the Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference. Now they are listed on Maxpreps at 1-22 and 1-13 in the conference, a record like that certainly disqualifies them for the playoffs. Two of those victories were over conference foe New Hanover – the Wildcats only two losses of the year. New Hanover is the East’s topseeded team with a-now 20-0 record. “It’s just really disappointing,” Emmertz said. “We put

Pender County’s weekly look at what’s biting and where
Area anglers feeling the fever By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Fishing Fanatic The weather has finally broken and the area anglers are getting excited about the fishing in the area. The recent sunny weather and warm temps have the anglers out in force. The local saltwater anglers are beginning to see some flounder in the area. The best bait is live minnows while some have had luck with gulp baits. The mouth of creeks has been a sweet spot for some anglers as has been the area flats. Some reds have shown up as well in the surf with cut bait as the main attraction for these tasty gents. Pier action has been slow to start with a few blues being caught as well as a black drum here and there. The water temperatures are rising slowly. With those rising temps the fishing will get better. The Spanish have been slow to show their faces but that will happen soon enough. The freshwater bite is not bad right now with water temps on the increase. There have been some nice bream and a few crappy mixed in on the Cape fear. Red worms and minnows will work here. There have been some good size cats caught on cut up eels and chicken livers as well. This week’s fishing tip With the summer months
everything we had into the season and it just got taken away at the last second. We all reached out to Alex because we were worried about him. This is not his fault at all. It’s just not fair to him or to us, at all. “It‘s hard to say how far we might have gone, but we beat the top team twice so we felt we had a good chance. Now we will never know.” The parents of several of the varsity players have joined together and issued the following statement: The NCHSAA has declared that the THS baseball team is ineligible for the state playoffs and that they must forfeit all but one of their wins during the 20-18 season due to an ineligible player. Now their official record will show just one victory. Nothing can be farther from realty. The reality is that there were many victories during the season. A player won because, for the first time in very long time, he was part of a team, a team that was a “lifeline” for him. His teammates won because they embraced and supported this player. The team learned there are a lot of
Henry sets the pace for Patriot track By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Pender Patriot athletic department has had some very fast young men and women in their many years of existence. They have had many conference champions with some regional and state qualifiers along the way. This year the Patriot track and field team has another sprinter with potential written all over him. Junior sprinter Makhel Henry is off and running for the Pender County Patriot track and field team. Makhel is ranked among the fastest sprinters in the 100meter sprint and has made major strides in his technique over the 2018 season. He recently won the Coastal 8 Conference championship in the 100-meter and is a member of several relay teams that have earned a trip to the regionals. With another year to go, junior Makhel Henry may become one of the fastest to ever run the 100-meter dash at Pender High School.
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 sunburn that makes life miserable. Let’s touch on a few tips on how to prevent sunburn. 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 sunscreen on your noggin! Follow the instructions on the sunscreen you are using and re apply according to instructions. 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 sunburn, try using cool cloths on the burn and take frequent cool showers or baths. Apply lotions that contain aloe Vera to the sun burned area. If you begin to peel, lotions may help with the itching.
students who face challenges with anxiety and depression, and the most important thing is how you treat others who may be facing challenges. The coaches won because they have a group of players who are willing to work hard each and every day. The community of Hampstead won because they have a team that they can be proud of. Through no fault of their own these players and coaches have had their season ended abruptly. The administrators who failed to do their job need to be held accountable for this. We all know what devastating consequences have been bestowed on this team, but the important questions we now need to ask is – what will the consequences be for the administrators who failed to do their jobs. Now is the time for us to collectively go to bat, for the players and demand accountability. “You don’t just become ineligible. He was eligible according to the AD in February. Now he isn’t. But the AD, still to this date, never said a word to us. We’ve been left in the dark.”

Mack Lloyd Bell Jr. Mack Lloyd Bell, Jr. left his earthly life Friday night, May 4, 2018 with peace in his heart. His family has been at his side, loving him, supporting him and caring for him during the past few weeks as cancer took his body, but not his spirit. Mack said cancer was a blessing to him as it led him from religion to a personal relationship with Jesus. Family and friends gave Mack back what he has always given to each of them as son, husband, daddy, Bepa, and friend. Mack’s presence in his earthly life brought love, joy, fun, laughter, and strength to family and friends. His passing leaves an empty place in our family circle as well as with all his friends. Mack was a member of Mission Baptist Church. His family was his pride and joy in life and he took a major part in Lori and Michael’s lives from birth to becoming adults. Sports, school activities, and
you name it he was involved. Being grandparents was an extra blessing to Mack and Bobbi. Mack will be missed beyond measure. Mack was born July 9, 1957 in Wilmington, the son of Virginia Bell and the late Mack Lloyd Bell, Sr. In addition to his mother, Mack is survived by his wife of 38 years, Bobbi Bell; daughter, Lori Bell; son, Michael Bell and his wife, Jennifer and their daughter, Anna Bell; father-in-law, Robert Brown; sister-in-law, Cheryle Williams and her husband, Bruce; nieces and many friends, who thought the world of Mack. Bobbi, Lori, Michael and Jennifer would like to share their grateful appreciation to Bruce and Cheryle Williams for care, comfort and love given Mack and to them during Mack’s last journey on this earth. They were there every step of the way. Adhering to Mack’s wishes there will be no formal visitation or services held. What would please Mack most is to keep his family in your prayers. Later, again at Mack’s request, there will be a private family scattering of his cremated remains at his favorite place to be in all the world, Surf City, Topsail Island. Instead of flowers please consider a donation to Lower Cape Fear Hospice Foundation, 1414 Physicians Dr.,
Wilmington, NC 28401 or to the charity of your choice. Shared memories and condolences may be sent to the family at www.quinnmcgowen.com. The family was served by Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home and Cremation Center of Burgaw.

Lookin’ for Love... Hi! My name is Star Lite.
I was left outside of the shelter with my sister. I love all people and would love to have a lap to snooze on. I get along with the other cats but really prefer to be your one and only. I don‛t mind dogs. (Do they have a purpose?) Come visit me and I won‛t let you leave until you pet and love me! Please don‛t believe the old wives tale that black cats are unlucky. Did you know that in the bog lands of Ireland black cats are said to bring luck, great wealth, and happiness? I believe the best decision you could make for your future is to bring me home!

Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the trustee, in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy.

Lady Pirates Continued from page 6A score. North Johnston was averaging 13.0 RPG while yielding just 2.3 RPG. The Lady Panthers recorded 14 wins in which they achieved the 10run, mercy-rule status. Sophomore Addy Howard was the winning pitcher, limiting the Lady Panthers to four hits and three walks while striking out three over a seven-inning effort in which she threw an austere 63 pitches - 44 for strikes. “Addy wasn’t perfect but she hit her spots when she needed to and gave our defense a chance to do what they are supposed to do,” Phillips said. “We did talk about eliminating those two-out walks because all it does is roll that lineup over, and that’s a good hitting team (.445 composite team batting average, 249 RBIs, 24 home runs). “But what a game she threw. She never got rattled, she kept on going. That’s a big, big win. Their pitcher (Amberlyn Pearce) is going to UNCW, their catcher (Jada Santiago) is going to UNC, and their shortstop (Blayke Batten) is going to (UNC) Greensboro. It was a definite confidence builder, showing these girls they can beat the best teams in North Carolina.”
Roundup
Continued from page 7A (34-1) in the shot put. The boys finished seventh (60.5) behind champion Hoggard (149). Adam Hart was the big scorer with a first (51-3) in the shot put, and a first (153-1) in the discus. Jonathan Ward was second (20-11) in the long jump, and fourth (40-11) in the triple jump. Ward also ran on the third-place (44.54) 4x100 relay team with Ryan Ording, Cameron Barras, and Kelton Olson. Bryce Dillon was third (2:05.29) in the individual 800meter run, and teamed up with Eddie Wolford, Brandon Hayes, and Travis Souza for a third (8:46.79) in the 4x800 relay. Next up is the NCHSAA 3A Regional Championships this Saturday (May 12) at Mount Olive University. The 3A State Championships are at North Carolina A & T in Greensboro (May 18-19).

Lady Pirates Continued from page 6A talented senior in net. Since a 4-3 Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference win over North Brunswick, the Lady Pirates dropped 12 consecutive matches to finish the year with a 2-17 overall record, and a 1-13 conference record. The Pender Patriot kickers dropped three matches last week. They lost at Southwest

North Johnston, scored its only run in the first inning on a leadoff walk and a RBI single. The Lady Panthers had two on with one out but a fly ball to right and a strikeout ended the threat. A double play after an error helped Howard out in the second, and a strikeout ended the visitors’ two-on, two-out threat in the fifth. Topsail tied the game in the second on a leadoff walk to Julia Sullivan, an excellent sacrifice bunt by Anna Lee Hart, a single by Christine McLean, and a double steal executed by courtesy runner Lauren Labelle and Sullivan, with Sullivan sliding across home plate. Topsail took the lead in the third on a one-out walk to Sydney Hartgrove, a single by Maggie Smith,, and a two-run double by Darbie Lisk. Howard and the Lady Pirate defense took it from there. “Really, I didn’t know their stats, and when people tried to tell me them I ignored them,” Howard said. “I feel like I have all the confidence in the world when I pitch, and I was really my spots today. When you hit your spots and you have the type of defense I have behind me it just gives you more confidence. I certainly could not do any of it without the help and support of every girl in that dugout.” The week started Tues-
day when the Lady Pirates honored Christine McLean, Alyssa Randall, Gaby Taron, and Tanesha Williams on Senior Night before disposing of Ashley by an 8-5 score behind the complete-game, five strikeout pitching of Randall, and two hits each from Tanesha Williams (2-for-3, two RBIs, W, SB, R/S), Tyesha Williams (2-for-2, two R/S), and Lauren Strnad (2-for-3, two RBIs). The Lady Pirates set the tone early with three runs in the first inning and a single run in the third. Tanesha Williams started things off in the first with a walk, Maggie Smith singled, and Sydney Hartgrove reached on a bunt with Williams scoring and Smith moving to third. Hartgrove stole second before Strnad singled to score both teammates. Hartgrove singled to start the third, Str nad singled to send Hartgrove to third, and she scored when McLean grounded into a fielders’ choice. Taron walked to start the fourth inning and Tyesha Williams singled. Taron scored on an error on an attempted pickoff play, and Tyesha Williams singled to plate her sister for a 6-0 Topsail lead. Defensively, Hartgrove – the Lady Pirates talented shortstop – recorded four assists and three putouts. Now it’s bring on the playoffs, which begin Wednesday
on field at Laney Friday with a 15-5 loss to Hoggard (14-2) – Topsail’s third loss (previously 15-3 & 14-3) of the year to the Lady Vikings. Topsail goals were scored by sophomore Lucy Nestor-Dowling (two), juniors Delaney Popella and Lily Ruddell, and freshman Madison LaValle. Sophomore Jane Hobbs had a great game in goal for Topsail. Girl’s lacrosse It was the first time since the inception of the girls’ lacrosse program the Lady Pirates advanced to the second round of the playoffs (without a bye in round one), it was the most points they had ever scored against the Lady Vikings, and it was the smallest margin by which Hoggard has defeated Topsail since a 14-4 Lady Pirate loss to Hoggard April 8, 2016. All other matches were 13 points or more. Topsail advanced to round two with a come-from behind 12-9 road win at JacksonvilleNorthside Tuesday. Topsail trailed 9-8 when the Lady Monarchs incurred a penalty. Hannah Jones tied the game at 9-9 on an assist from Kate
Matuza. The Lady Pirates went up 10-9 when Popella found Kate Matuza in front of the net and she put it home with 10:29 remaining for a lead Topsail would not relinquish. Sophomore Kristian Dillon and Popella added the insurance goals. Senior Hannah Jones had three goals, Popella, Kate Matuza, and Ruddell had two each, and senior Sophie Minnick and Dillon and classmate Sam Mazzara each had one goal. Hobbs had eight saves. Topsail finished the year 10-8. Boys’ lacrosse The Pirates took a more than five hours bus ride for the first round of the 3A playoffs and fell 9-8 to First Flight, ending the best season (9-8, 6-6 in conference) in the fifth season of Topsail boys’ lacrosse history. Junior attackman Eli Copeland had four goals, one assist, and two takeaways, and classmate Jake Volpe added two goals, one assist, and four takeaways. Senior Leighton Randall scored the other two goals, and senior Nick Haddock added an assist.
run scored. Next up was the Richlands Wildcats. The Titans needed to win this game and came up one run short. Trask led 3-2 after three innings of play but gave up two runs in the bottom of the fifth and another in the sixth in falling to the Cat’s. Senior Chase McPherson
took the loss on the mound. He led the Titans at the plate with two hits and two runs batted in. Justin Collier was 1-3 with a run scored. Trask finished the season with a 12-9 record including a 6-8 Coastal 8 Conference mark.
Onslow 8-0 early in the week before losing to Trask 3-0 at home. They finished the week with a 2-1 loss to Lejeune.

Continued from page 3A could be shaped in such a way that it would benefit only certain citizens. The courts bestowed personhood to corporations. President and General Dwight Eisenhower warned of the congressional-militaryindustrial complex but he was forced to take the word congressional out of his original 1961 Farewell Address after strong pressure from those in Congress, who thought it made them look bad. In the end, it is politics as usual, with jockeying for power by all involved, and sometimes the pendulum of the mood of the country swings
from outrage from the right, to outrage from the left, the houses of Congress and the political systems are deliberately polarized (divide and conquer) and the polarization is exclusive in nature – you’re either one of us or one of them. The political party in power at any one time reflects the outrage and disgust with the shenanigans of the previous party in power. Disgust to disgust – the pendulum swings of outrageous misuse of the laws and the U.S. Constitution written in secret by lobbyists and Congress members to profit their campaign contributors, to take money from one group to give to the other, and then the abused group rallies their supporters with outrage only to reverse the flow to the ben-
efit of their supporters. The political parties, just as George Washington cautioned, have grown more powerful than government itself, and the unholy alliance of money, lobbyists, and career politicians have robbed the American Democracy of citizen participation unless the citizens pay for access. There’s a cynical phrase in common use to describe the process: no pay, no play. “Going to Hell in a handbasket,” my grandmother used to say, about her view of the changes since her generation passed the baton to my generation. And now that I’m a jaded old person, her view is my view. This is no way to run a country.

Local environmental group works on Topsail Island By Lori Kirkpatrick, Post & Voice Staff Writer
A local group of women from eastern Pender County have formed the Environmental Conservancy of Topsail, known as ECO Topsail. The group’s mission is to educate, inspire, and advocate for the protection and preservation of the Topsail area natural environment. ECO Topsail is a nonprofit organization, 501(c)3 pending. Local residents Michelle LaVigne, Shauna Gamble and Debbie Wilson have created the group to work alongside residents, visitors, area businesses and local governments to preserve and protect the natural environment of the Topsail coastal area. The conservancy plans to educate the public by sharing information on environmentally responsible practices; while inspiring others to help keep our coastal environment a clean, safe, and more natural habitat for wildlife. They believe that by doing these things, we can all work together to make the area an enjoyable place for people to live and visit. By advocating with local, state, and federal governments for protection of our diverse coastal ecosystems, the group hopes to improve and preserve our Topsail area coastal community; as well as protect the natural resources to sustain wildlife for future generations. The group began to discuss everyday environmental issues and decided that Pender County needed a group to begin dealing with them. “We got tired of talking about it and we decided that we’re going to do something about it,” began Gamble. “We just want to make people aware. For example, we go into restaurants and see if the restaurants have Skip the Straw. There are 500 million straws that go into landfills every day in the U.S. If we can eliminate a bunch of those, that is the worst single-use product that we have. We can use reusable straws, or we don’t have to use them at all.” In addition to educating people about skipping the straw, the group also talks to restaurant owners about using environmentally friendly take out containers. They also believe that by educating themselves and others about issues such as runoff into the waterway and the chemicals that we buy and use, we can all make a positive impact on the environment. “We have a couple of projects that we’re starting with. We will participate in Surf Fest, a which will take place at North Topsail Beach May 19. They will have a paddle out to pick up trash and will have vendors on the beach. We will be going there as an education station, asking people to pledge not to release balloons and sky lanterns. We feel very passionate about that because we see the danger to wildlife and the danger of fires started. There are other ways to remember, memorialize or honor people besides balloons. They are a deadly waste, and those balloons they Left to right Michelle LaVigne, Shauna Gamble, and Debbie Wilson don’t go to heaven,” said Gamble. The three women agreed that they are going to walk the walk instead of just talk the talk. They plan to adopt a highway on Topsail and get out and clean up the trash. They will continue to visit local restaurants about skipping the straw or not giving them unless people ask for them. They will also ask people to use paper bags instead of plastic ones. They said that so far, some people they have talked to are more than willing. For instance, they recently visited Jebby’s on 17. The restaurant owners said that they can’t wait to do more than they are already doing. As the ECO Topsail members learn about environmentally friendly strategies, they share the knowledge with others. Debbie Wilson of ECO Topsail said, “We found the information for the local suppliers of economically friendly takeout containers through Sears Landing Restaurant,” Wilson said. “They have takeout containers, plastic cups, straws and lids that are biodegradable. We got the information about the supplier they get them from, and we can share what we learned with other restaurant owners.” LaVigne says it’s mostluy about getting the word out there and being present. “We are trying to do it in a friendly way, not a negative way. We are trying to offer alternatives. You can still have a to-go drink, but it’s in a recyclable cup. We plan on getting into every store, restaurant and farmers market; and we will be talking to people at the festival to get the word out as a nonprofit,” said LaVigne. For more information about ECO Topsail, visit their Facebook page or website www.ecotopsail.org, which is under construction. The group can be contacted by email at ecotopsail@gmail. com.

Worship within
By Dr. Ray W. Mendenhall Contributing Writer
were holy shrines here and there where the people would gather and worship the Lord, each with its own prophet or priest. With the rise of David as king, the old shrines were torn down and the worship of the people of God centered in Jerusalem. Later when Solomon built the temple, the worship of God was a securely fixed in Jerusalem. There were in every village and town a Sabbath gathering of Jews for fellowship and devotions, but nothing rivaled the worship in Jerusalem. That is why pilgrims made their way to Jerusalem on pilgrimage, to go to the great temple to worship. That is what gave rise to the pilgrim psalms of ascent, songs they sang on the road, so to speak. Our pilgrim is not near
I was glad when they said unto me, “let us go to the house of the Lord!� Our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together. To it the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord. For there the thrones for judgement were set up, the thrones of the house of David. Psalm 122 (a devotional prayer of ancient pilgrims on the way to Jerusalem) I suppose it is safe to say that the heart of Old Testament Worship was the Temple in Jerusalem. Moses and the children of Israel had the portable tabernacle in the wilderness, a foreshadowing of the temple to come. After the Israelites, occupied the promise land, but before the Temple in Jerusalem, there

that worship is at its heart a spiritual and not merely a physical thing. He said that the true worshippers of God would worship God in spirit and truth. There is a worship within us that always takes place within true worship, a worship that embraces the Presence of God wherever and however it is found. Whether you gather in church or not, whether you meet with 2000 or two, or commune with the spirit on your own; there is a worship within us that lifts us, carries us, sustains us and nurtures us. It can never be taken from us for it is rooted in the Spirit of God.

and anticipate the worship of the future. We worship in our hearts, we worship in our souls. This is the worship within, the time, the place, the spiritual temple where we sit in silence, rest in the spirit and give thanks for worship itself. After the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple, synagogues became the place of worship for the Jewish people. They were local gathering of believer within each community to lift up prayers and praise. Our Protestant worship is modeled on the synagogue. Churches, you might say, are Christian synagogues. It is a privilege and joy to worship in community. Even so, Jesus has words to remind us

rejoice at the opportunity to gather with believers and lift up, songs and prayers and praise. We come as we are able, week after week, to join in a worship that celebrates the joy of God in our lives. Worship in the flesh is exhilarating, but what if you can’t worship with the throng, with the church, with the gathered people of God. What if you find yourself away from the gathering, apart from the community, outside of the space of the worship. There are times in our lives when worship in the flesh is not possible, and yet like the psalmist, like the lonely pilgrim on the road, we remember. We draw close to God in our imagination. We envision the worshipping throng in our minds. We relive the worship of the past

the temple on the road, nor even close to the village gatherings. He is, as it were, in liturgical limbo, no visible means to worship God. So the psalmist provides a song to remind the traveler of worship. “I was glad when they said unto me, let us go to the house of the Lord.� In place of worshipping, the pilgrim remembers worship times of old. He remembers how he had gone in the past with the celebrating crowd, making their way to the Temple to worship and pray. He remembers how they called out along the way to others to join the throng. He remembers as the stood at the threshold of the great Temple gates, preparing to enter and bow down. Worship with the people of God is wonderful. We all
