Penderlea behind schedule: move in early October

By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher Pender County Commissioners heard good and bad news from construction officials working on the school bond projects at their Monday meeting.

The good news is the Surf

City School project is on time, on budget and will be ready for county schools to take possession of the new building July 1.

The not-so-good news is the Penderlea project is behind schedule, and won’t be ready for students when the yearround school resumes classes

this summer.

School officials praised Pender County Utilities for working with the Surf City contractors to correct a mistake in the waterline construction to the school. “They did a great job working with us. It wasn’t their problem, but they took it like it was and we got through that,� said Darren Lafon, Chief Officer of Auxiliary Services for Pender County Schools.

The Surf City School project is on time and will be completed by July 1, at which time Pender County Schools will take ownership of the building. The new school will be ready to open to students for the fall 2018 term. “We are on time and on budget and that is a good thing,� said Commission Chairman George Brown.

The Penderlea project will not meet the original completion date. Problems with the project manager have put construction behind, but officials are confident the new project manager will keep things on track and the building will be completed in time for the beginning of the second term

Pender County Commissioners are working with Cape Fear Community College to increase the college’s footprint in Burgaw.

Currently, the CFCC building is nearly completely occupied by the Pender Early College High School, leaving little room for other college classes.

Commissioners increased funding to CFCC in the new budget to help the college acquire additional space in Burgaw. “CFCC is looking at leasing a couple of buildings owned

by Mojo Music that are near the CFCC Burgaw campus.

We gave them funding to lease the buildings for a year,� said Pender County Manager Randall Woodruff. “They are also hoping to possibly buy the buildings. This will give them the ability to have more

classes in Burgaw.�

CFCC is planning to add more trade and vocational classes to their offerings in Burgaw. “We have been working to see what ways we c a n strengthen our connection to the college and high school vocational training programs,�

Woodruff said. “We want to go out and talk to companies to find out what type of training they are looking for. CFCC is interested in interacting with businesses to find out what they need and provide that training to students.�

Currently the Burgaw campus of CFCC offers continuing education classes in resume writing, job searching, interview skills and budgeting.

The campus has Nurse Aide cou rses a long with Adu lt High School, high school equivalency exam prep, basic skills and GED, English as a second language, and Adult Basic Education.

Notes from the Field Ken Watkins, inspired collector

Bill Messer Connections have a funny way of going off in weird tangents I had gotten a request for some pictures I made of the Camp Davis 75th Anniversary, and took a copy to Holly Ridge, to Carol Ann Ross, author of “Days of Hairawn Muhly”, set on Topsail Is.land in the 1930s.

Dorothy Royal was there. She owns the former Camp Davis USO recreation building, now used for craft shows and events. She was engaged in conversation with a friend, and I joined in.

The friend was Ken Watkins, and I really enjoyed talking to him about stuff in general, things in particular, and when I said my goodbyes, Ken said, “You need to come over sometime, I’m just down the street.”

“When?” I asked, “I’ve got some time now.”

“Follow me,” he said, and we walked out. I should have know right then it would be something interesting because he was driving an old Toyota Van, and I noticed he was driving from the wrong side. When we pulled into his driveway a few minutes later, I was amazed at how nice it was, looked nearly new in fact and not nearly 30 years old, and with a totally deluxe interior.

“Wow,” I said, and that was just the beginning, it would be ‘wow’ again and again for the next hour or so.

I followed Ken upstairs for a quick tour of his home, and then we went out to another building next door. One thing I noticed right off was the outside elevator, made with the components of a boat lift, and a boat-sized platform big enough for a half-dozen people, or more.

We went from the bright sunlight into the gloom of the dark warehouse while Ken headed for the light switches. I asked Ken to tell me about the building and its contents as my eyes tried to make sense of what I saw.

“This is my warehouse.

Right next door is my house I moved from the beach. I’ve had the warehouse longer, it was part of the whole Camp Davis world here in Holly Ridge.”

“How is it that you’ve got so much stuff ?” I asked, “A whole town’s worth.”

“A town!?” Ken thought I was under exaggerating.

“I’ve got enough for a state!

It’s a museum.”

Ken had been initially reluctant to do an on-camera

interview - I use a small video camera for interview note-taking - because he comes from the other side of the camera. He once made commercial and industrial videos for large businesses near Raleigh.

I asked, “How many times have you stuck a microphone into someone’s face and said, “Here, just talk normally?” and he laughed loudly, knowing it’s a lot easier behind the camera than in front. “Yeah, I like it much better on the other side.”

Ken flipped on the lights and we went in further, and turned the corner into a large room with racks of shelves, row on row, stretching to the other end of the building, covered boxes, but open shelves along the way displayed some of the choice contents: rocks and minerals and fossils. “”Wow!” I involuntarily exclaimed again, as I would more or less continually during the visit.

“I use to live on the road, always looking around, and when I came home I was always bringing stuff, whole truckloads, and unload it in the warehouse. I used to have three warehouses, one in the mountains, one in Durham, and one here, and then two here.”

I had been complaining about the lifetime accumulation of stuff that keeps accumulating in the garage and front bedroom in my own house, but no more. I was in the presence of a master, and I was a piker, a ‘wanna-be’ when it comes to collecting.

When I lived in Raleigh, I frequently visited the Museum of Natural Sciences and couldn’t help myself when visiting the gift shop, always buying some mineral crystals, polished stones, artifacts – my entire collection contained in a couple of small cardboard boxes with a few items on display in the living room. Ken’s collection could supply the needs of the gift shop until infinity, it seemed.

“I realize I’m in the presence of a Master,” I conceded.

Ken wins, hands down, in the ‘Inspired Collector’ category.

As we walked down the aisles, I saw giant amethyst crystals, huge single and multiple clear and white quartz crystals, petrified wood, fossils, and more, arranged neatly on shelves and in display cases. There were many geodes – rocks with internal cavities lined with minerals such as amethyst and calcite – some a foot or more in size, with perfect crystals.

“In the mountains, I’d take this and put it in line with the setting sun, and it’d look like a campfire,” he said, “Amazing.”

Continuing along I came

Geodes are rocks with an internal cavity, often lined with amethysts, but not this one, the Darth Vader of geodes.

Jefferson Weaver

Riding into the sunset We were involved in one of those spur of the moment cleanups, where you plan to do just a few things but suddenly the entire world is a mass of dark green bags, dustpans, and debris.

I was finally making a little bit of sense out of the somewhat transitional state of the carport, and Miss Rhonda decided to attack an area on the porch that we use for storage. There was a certain sadness in her voice when she called to me.

“I know this is special,” she said, “but I think he’s had it.”

He was Traveller, my first horse; a classic early 60’s injected plastic steed, with big black wheels, a happy look on his face, and a black mane on a palomino hide that never needed brushing, but often needed some judicious scrubbing by my mother. I hadn’t ridden the push-toy since I was about three, I guess, if not younger; there are plenty of fading square photos of the youngest cowboy in Keener riding to the rescue of a damsel of distress, battling black-hatted bad guys, or just doing cowboy stuff.

Traveller showed his age, even before he was retired.

I am not sure how many times the Old Man did some rough and ready farrier work with Elmer’s glue and masking tape (Traveller came along well before duct tape was common). The wheels and front hooves were polished clean of their paint by the sugar-sand soil of our yard. His reins were long since worn out and lost, and his saddle was smooth by countless adventures in the wild west that lay a little north of Clinton.

Those plastic horses, from what I understand,

Jefferson Weaver were a big hit in the years just before I was born. They maintained their popularity even after the TV shows that inspired them—shows with characters like Roy Rogers, the Lone Ranger, and so many more—passed into black and white obscurity, as westerns went from morality plays to more like social operas, and serials disappeared from the Saturday silver screens.

For reasons I cannot begin to explain, Traveller hung on for years; Traveller was there long after his replacement, a tricycle, and its replacement, a restored Schwinn, were long forgotten and tossed out. When one of my friends poked fun at me about the “kid’s toy” in my bedroom, Mother removed him to her sewing room.

The plastic horse didn’t go to college with me, but when Rhonda and I set up our first home, Traveller went into what was supposed to be, someday, a children’s bedroom. That never happened, of course, and we moved back to the country after a couple of

years, but Traveller always had a place in our home. He was either in a corner of my office (when I had one) or maybe in a spare bedroom.

Once, he made it back under our Christmas tree, purely by accident.

In a fit of whimsy one day, I wired the wheels back on, and gave Traveller a push down the porch. I was home alone that day, so I couldn’t be embarrassed, and as the toy rolled down the porch, rattling on the weathered wood, I could almost remember Mother letting me play on the porch in Keener during the days when the yard was too muddy. Mother was still young and pretty back then, and with Papa at work and my siblings at school, we had the old tenant house to ourselves. I cannot recall anything specific about those times, save that we were happy.

Traveller’s front wheels broke sometime after the Old Man died, and I was never able to affect a permanent repair. Indeed, I wanted to throw the toy out when we moved the last time, but friends and family convinced me otherwise. He eventually wandered from a storage room to his final resting place on the greatest front porch in Southeastern North Carolina.

Nothing—not even plastic—lasts forever, and the years of wear and tear, combined with age, slowly caused Traveller to fall apart. Repairing him was one of those things where I wasn’t sure what I could do, if anything, and therefore, did nothing. Like the fabric in the Bible verse, attempting to bond new to the old

Donating old hearing aids, glasses, ect Dear Savvy Senior, Where are some good places to donate old hearing aids, eyeglasses and mobility equipment? My uncle passed away a few months ago and left behind a bunch of useful aids that could surely help someone else.

Searching Nephew Dear Searching, Donating old, unused assistive living aids and/or medical equipment is a great way to help those in need who can’t afford it, and in most cases its tax deductible too. Here are some good places to check into.

Hearing aids There are several national nonprofit service organizations that offer hearing aid recycling programs. Hearing aids that are donated are usually refurbished and either redistributed to those in need, or resold with the proceeds going to buy new hearing aids for people who can’t afford them.

One of the most popular places to donate old hearing aids, as well as hearing aid parts or other assistive listening devices is the Starkey Hearing Foundation “Hear Now” recycling program (starkeyhearingfoundation. org, 800-328-8602), which collects around 60,000 hearing aids a year.

Hearing aids and other listening devices should be sent to: Starkey Hearing Foundation, ATTN: Hearing Aid Recycling, 6700 Washington Avenue South, Eden Prairie, MN 55344.

Some other good nonprofits to donate to are the Lions Club Hearing Aid Recycling Program (go to lionsclubs.org and search for: HARP), and

Hearing Charities of America (hearingaiddonations. org, 816-333-8300), which is founded by Sertoma, a civic service organization dedicated to hearing health.

Or, if you’re interested in donating locally, contact your Hearing Loss Association of America state or local chapter (see hearingloss.org for contact information).

They can refer you to state agencies or community service programs that also accept hearing aids.

Eyeglasses One of the best places to donate old eyeglasses is to the Lions Club Recycle for Sight program. They collect nearly 30 million pairs of glasses each year and distribute them to people in need in developing countries.

To donate, look for a Lion’s Club glasses donation dropoff box in your community.

You can often find them at libraries, community centers, churches, schools and many local eye doctor offices, or call your local Lions Club for drop-off locations. See directory.lionsclubs.org for contact information.

New Eyes (www.new-eyes. org/recycle) is another notfor-profit organization that collects unused eyeglasses and distributes them abroad to people in need.

Medical equipment If you have old wheelchairs, walker, canes, shower chairs or other durable medical equipment, there are many foundations and organizations that would

CareerFest It was a sunny 70-degree day early in the year and I would have likely been on the beach had I not committed to being at Career Fest on campus at UNC Wilmington. I am always amused, and this time very impressed with the spectrum of students who showed up; some wandering aimlessly in their short shorts collecting chotsky, to others, dressed to impress, obviously eager to explore every employment opportunity available.

The Burney Center was transformed into a carnival, complete with corn dogs, cotton candy and fresh popped popcorn center stage, surrounded by a plethora of professionals representing a variety of industries, eager to share their insight and experience with students.

I was strategically situated on the back wall of the business section, directly across from the recreation and hospitality professionals: fun folks offering exciting adventures.

Several students stopped by to share their stories, and I enjoyed asking them all my question of the hour: Are you still trying to figure out who to be when you grow up?

The resounding response was a unanimous YES. Most seemed surprised to learn that 70% of the working population is dissatisfied in their jobs.

I believe I have been put on this planet to change that, and take every opportunity available to encourage individuals to begin within as the foundation for pursuing purpose and passion in life. Identify what you enjoy and do well, and figure out a way to earn money doing it.

Start by considering yourself as a child, and examine your evolution to adulthood.

Every report card I got in elementary school said that I talk too much. (Sad, but true).

In junior high school, I was accused of having a bad attitude. By high school, I was a cheerleader and in college, I represented ECU as an Ambassador and as a freshman orientation counselor.

The gift for gab has served me well, as I earn my living speaking about the power of encouragement, kindness and humor. e.e. cummings acknowledged; ‘it takes a lot of courage to grow up and be who you really are’.

My experience suggests that most people never really try, they just do what everyone else does until they realize it is not working.

When asked what perplexed him the most about humankind, the Dalai Lama had this to say: Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.

Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.

And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

Don’t let that be you.

Do what you like and like what you do and it will never really feel like work.

Out and About with Pender Tourism

Blueberry Festival forever

Tammy Proctor Pender County Tourism Director The N.C. Blueberry Festival committee shined the spotlight on Burgaw last week.

The tourism office shares office space with the NC Blueberry Festival. These last few weeks the office needed a revolving door to serve the numerous customers who wanted to buy festival T-shirts and cookbooks.

The demand for cookbooks was so great, Tourism Assistant Stephanie Key stored a box in her office to serve walk-in customers.

For us, the N.C. Blueberry Festival is a seasonal high-

light. There’s excitement in the community. The NC Blueberry Festival volunteers – and there’s more than 100 of them – start to drop by the office to pick up instructions and their volunteer T-shirts.

This year our office was hard to miss as “blueberry central.” The 12-foot inflatable blueberry on the front lawn was a Kodak moment for many visitors.

And among the busyness of festival time, a Mountains to Sea Trail hiker stopped by the office. He wanted information on where to eat.

He was staying the night in the Burgaw Motel so we directed him to Bandana’s or MeMaw’s, two eateries that weren’t a hike.

All day on Friday, WWAY’s Jeff Rivenbark, a Burgaw native, provided live shots and on-air interviews centering on Burgaw and blueberries. I was scheduled to follow Mark Seitz, the extension agent for Pender County. Mark is a walking encyclopedia of agriculture facts and figures.

I know this because he constantly reminds me that

agriculture is a larger business in Pender County than tourism. It’s a good rivalry.

Tourism brings in more than $93 million per year in visitor spending.

Just before my interview was to begin, Jeff Rivenbark asked what I enjoyed most about the festival. I explained our information tent was placed across from the merchandise tent.

Throughout the festival we meet hundreds of people – many of which are new residents who are seeking out information about their new home. These words had barely left my lips when a man stopped me and said, “Excuse me, but we just moved here…”

Yes, sometimes tourism starts at home. When we get the opportunity to tell someone to visit Moores Creek National Battlefield or Missiles and More Museum or a host of other gems in our Ωommunity, it is a thrill.

The N.C. Blueberry Festival provides us that platform. Congratulations, N.C. Blueberry Festival Committee, on the most successful year to date.

tricked out, they’re worth about 10 grand apiece.”

I was curious about his early years and asked about that.

“I was born in Durham, in 1951. Durham High, then St. Andrews College in Laurinburg, a small private school that went through some weird times in the 60s-70s with a lot of smart kids, probably under-performers.”

“Did your parents send you there?” I asked.

“NO!”, he laughed, I went there on my own. I was a drum major at Durham High. The summer before they had had a drum major camp at St. Andrews. There were 12 drum majors, and 600 majorettes. I thought I’d gone to Heaven.

“My whole family, I’m the black sheep. They’re extremely intelligent. One’s an MIT scientist, and not

any old MIT scientist,” he paused and raised his hand toward the ceiling, “She’s a big dog. My parents both had Master’s Degrees, a rarity for their generation. My mother was a botanist, my father was a forester, both at Duke University.” Ken’s dad was instrumental in the development of Duke Forest.

“Wow”, and more wows would continue, as Ken told me about an opportunity he was offered, to demolish 12 miles of tobacco warehouses in Durham. “I did a lot of demolition work, but had to tell ‘em, ‘Look, I just moved down to Topsail, it would be a phenomenal job, I don’t have the equipment and I don’t even live here any more.’”

And then we turned the corner and went into another room.

Next: Wow, wow, and more wow.

“These cabinets are really cool,” Ken directed me to some large display cases just past the charts, “They’re 125 years old, from a jewelry store and pharmacy in Morganton, NC.

Dr. Chris’ Summer Series

Cooking at the Wirszyla’s

By Dr. Chris Wiszyla Contributing Writer We are always cooking or baking at our house! It is a wonder we are all not a lot heavier than we are, but we do get daily exercise and it is good that we cook, for the most part, healthy. Okay, let me take that back – my wife cooks healthy – real healthy! Me, on the other hand, I just love to fry me up some shrimp, or chicken cutlets, or anything else that can have that delicious taste of (salted!) butter.

Since the kids were young, we have tried to get them into the kitchen. The older two, Abi and Edward, started out of a necessity of one summer getting them to do something besides watch Bob the Builder or Harry Potter movies all day long.

We started with smoothies, including fruit and coffee ones, and progressed to making a daily dinner as my wife was working during the day. I have pictures of Edward when he is four years old, sautéing mushrooms, and cooking kabobs on the grill. He always made the key lime pies, and, at the time, loved to make and eat a corned beef pie (he has since gone vegetarian).

This is a bit bothersome at times as we have to make two dinners, one for him and one for the rest of us meat lovers!

Years ago, the Pender Post ran a story on us and he published his recipe for Shepard’s Pie. He has since graduated to making elaborate baked goods with his girlfriend who just loves to bake! We have a picture of a “ribeye steak” cake that they made for their carnivorous friend (she is also a vegetarian). All I know is that I am the happy recipient of their (calorie laden) baked goods. No wonder I get up every morning to exercise!).

Abi is pretty good in the kitchen, and I can safely say I gave her the start. She has

had her triumphs and failures, among them microwaving a plastic container of baby food (which caught on fire), microwaving a container of chocolate (also caught on fire), and adding 10 ounces of the wrong type of flour, instead of one ounce, for a baked good that tasted like it had ten times the amount of flour in it that it should have. However, she has done well, even though she still cooks her scrambled eggs in a saucepan instead of a frying pan, and eats her French toast (eggy bread to her fellow English brethren) with ketchup. Oh, did I mention she puts ketchup on her hot dogs (I couldn’t even imagine it) …

The breakthrough with her came when she wanted her mother to make crepes, once again, for her, which is a bit of a process and definitely takes more time than just making up some pancakes. I said, no, if you want crepes, you are going to learn how to make them yourself. After all, give a man a fish, he can feed himself for a day, teach a man to fish and he is not hungry ever…well, I taught her, and now she is in charge of making the crepes every Fat Tuesday. As I said, Abi has potential, her main problem being she makes an absolute mess when she cooks.

I will also never understand why she named her cookbook that we did PowerPoint recipes for “The Unwelcome Cookbook” Strange.

Now, Bella and Alex, the twins, they have been cooking and baking for years. They fix their own lunch (Alex is partial to tuna sandwiches, and loves a good peanut butter and grape sandwich. Bella loves her chicken salad and other “Daddy” sandwiches). Bella is also famous for her spring rolls, cupcakes, tomato soup, and “slice of life” tomatoes.

Alex has made many pizzas, brings trays of beautifully crafted fruits and vegetables to parties, and has recently been

mastering banana pudding, strawberry cheesecakes, and any number of cookie recipes from the several cookbooks they have acquired over the last year. They are pretty impressive for nine years old!

My wife keeps us healthy.

She is not happy unless she has at least seven hidden vegetables in her meals, and serves up at least a couple of vegetarian meals a week (this helps her with Edward, also). She blogged about her recipes, and goes by a rotating ninety meal plan, so we have the same thing from her four times a year. She makes all kinds of foods and lives by a couple of British cookbooks, mainly the “Dodo” cookbook, and, of course, if you are British, you know Delia, the queen of culinary delights in England. Carole does curries, Italian, vegetarian, British (OMG, the lamb stew slow cooked in Guinness) and even some American!

I appreciate her attempt to balance out my meals with some good, healthy food. However, she has been known to say on more than one occasion, things like “Do you have to make everything into a sandwich?” and, “Whoops, did I not make enough food for you?”

I often say that I have just a couple of specialties, but really, I cook everything from typical American, to Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese (I lived with a Japanese family for a year in Barcelona) and seafood. I just love me some fried shrimp! I have a seafood stuffed eggplant, eggplant ptarmigan, chicken ptarmigan, ribs, salads, burgers, frying pan pizza, and several hand me down recipes from my mother (Cheesy shrimp rice) and grandmothers (zalzuvalaka – potato pudding).

As you can see, it really is a good thing we get up and exercise every morning. Then it is time to hit the kitchen to see what culinary delights await our eager chefs and their father.

Pender 4-H’ers attend state program

A delegation of Pender County 4-H members attended 4-H Citizenship North Carolina Focus, which was held in Raleigh.

The Pender County delegation returned home from three days in which more than 120 youth and adults representing 47 4-H programs across the state gathered to exchange ideas, gain knowledge and learn through hands on experiences about the importance of being an active and engaged citizen.

Zane Andersen and Morgan Hansen represented Pender County at the June 13-15 conference. Through various conference sessions and facilitated discussions, delegates learned and shared information re-

lated to local, state and national government. Delegates also participated in sessions related to youth voice and community change.

While at the conference delegates had a chance to visit the Legislative Building in Raleigh to meet with their elected officials and their staff as well as participate in service activities throughout Raleigh.

Sea Turtle Hospital News

By Karen Sota Special to the Post & Voice And it’s déjà vu all over again. No sooner did we send twelve of our kids out on their own than we had to turn around to wash, rinse and release another 16. So back to the beach we went last Wednesday with a caravan of big and small, long term and short term hospital graduates.

We were incredibly appreciative that Sunny and Remora were going home.

Those two large loggerheads were in abysmal shape when they were admitted with multiple injuries that put them in serious jeopardy of ever setting flipper in the Atlantic again.

And now there they were, rolling down the beach to the cheers of the crowd and the tears of those of us who dedicated hundreds of hours to those two turtle warriors. And Pooh, the not-so-little anymore green who fought for over two years to beat bone disease, and who holds the

port, and he hopes that you will continue to be just as generous so that the friends he left behind can join him soon.

The parade continued with our staff and interns transporting a mix of smaller greens and Kemp’s until finally the last flipper crested a wave and ducked out of sight. A lot of our patients have gone home, but we still have more healthy critters being added to our release roster. Keep checking our Facebook page for your chance to be part of the next celebration.

And I promised that you’d get to meet our senior interns in this column, so let’s start with Jordan Teixeira who I managed to corral while he was working on new admit Dutchman.

Summer volleyball league hits the court

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Pender opens summer season with win The Pender Lady Patriot volleyball team has some holes to fill for the upcoming 2018 volleyball season. Last years roster was littered with seniors. In fact, there are only five players returning from last years team that made it to the third round of the state 1A playoffs.

Therefore, veteran head coach Matt Davis will use the summer league at Topsail High School to work his magic once again. This summer will definitely be more about trying different things and combinations of girls than has been in the past few years.”

The Lady Pats opened the first week of the summer league against White Oak. The Pender County Pats started off slow but found their rhythm quickly. Coach Davis’ squad served the ball well in the opening game and took a commanding lead midway through the match. Rising senior Ashley Dupalavich found her big hitters and they responded. Pender won the first set 25-13.

In the second set of the match the Pats relied on the duo of rising senior Jenna Harrell and rising junior Mayce Wood to take a big lead.

The Lady Vikings struggled to return the Patriot serve.

Pender took the set and the match with the 25-6 set.

In the second match of the night the Lady Pats played the 4A Laney Buccaneers.

Laney took the opening set 25-15 before the young Patriot team again found its rhythm through their serve.

Pender won the second set 25-17, sending the match to the tie breaking third game.

The Bucs won the third game and the match 2-1 even though Coach Davis thought his team played better against the Bucs than they did against White Oak. “Our serving was rather strong which has been a plus for us in the past. Jenna Harrell and Mayce Wood served extremely well in both games.

Ashley Dupalavich set the ball well for us. Tyanna Holmes and Haley Schaeffer are two sophomores that we’re hoping can give us quality play.”

Pender will face off against the host team Topsail Pirates this week.

Lady Titans open summer league play When Heide Trask Lady Titan volleyball coach Cathy Claris looked at her young roster going into the summer league she saw a very young and inexperienced team with

Topsail, Pender, and Trask volleyball teams are participating in the summer volleyball league, with play every Tuesday at Topsail High.

In My Opinion Over the last few weeks and really over the last few years there have been many controversies over athletics in our school system. The latest fiasco at Topsail High School is only the tip of the iceberg as to the rumors that I hear on a weekly basis. While many of them do not hold water, there is always something going on.

We never hear about the good things that are happening or the good things that the coaches do when in fact many of the coaches are basically coaching for free.

I spent the evening over at Topsail High School at the summer volleyball league last week. I sat there with my buddy Lee Wagner and began to think about the three volleyball coaches at our high schools. The volleyball players in the county are lucky to have these three folks.

Hill Pearsall coaches Topsail and runs the summer league. I can assure you that he is not getting paid to do so. He spends his time and offers the gym so that the lady spikers in the area don’t have to travel around the area. Hill is a class act.

Pender’s Matt Davis is another coach with great intentions. He has found his niche at Pender and has kept a proud program on track. He works hard and has a great relationship

with his players. Matt will become the Pender athletic director July 1. Principal Chris Madden has a good one on board.

Trask has a veteran coach with an abundance of energy and a love for both the game and the kids in Cathy Claris. Mrs. Claris recently retired from the elementary school classroom and is ready to go. She is a teacher in every aspect. She brings a lot of energy and knowledge to the table.

With all that is going on around the high schools right now it is refreshing to see that our three high schools have what I consider three of the better coaches in the area on board. What is even more impressive is that they are good people.

The biggest compliment from me would be that I would have loved for either of my daughters to have had the opportunity to play for either of the three.

Post & Voice Top Performers Year in Review: November

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer a lot to learn. Despite going 0-3 in the first week she found a lot of positive things in her teams play along with an abundance of things to work on. “Serving was a highlight on Tuesday We also ran the offense okay but serve receive needs work, and defense too. I believe that with Laynie Barnhill and Brayden Smith back and in the lineup next week, we will definitely have a better all-around look. We have 10 new faces at volleyball this summer. We were hurting last year with numbers. We just didn’t have any subs for when someone got hurt or was having a bad night. We should have a bigger bench on both JV and varsity when the teams are set.”

The Titans have a bevy of young players to fill the

junior varsity with. Coach Claris kept them together in week one. She fielded a varsity squad with just eight players.

The Lady Titans drew what may be the top team in the tough Mid-Eastern Conference in the Topsail Lady Pirates. The bigger and stronger Pirates used their size to dismantle the Titans in two games. the scores were 25-6 and 25-13.

In game one the Titans stayed close in the early going.

With the Pirates leading 9-6 the youth of Trask began to show. Topsail went on a 16-0 run to end game one. Game two was much the same with the Titans having no answer for the Pirates size.

In their second match the Lady Titans drew Dixon.

This time the young Titans

started fast and built some momentum resulting in a 25-18 win. Dixon took a hotly contested game two 25-22 sending the match into a third game tiebreaker.

Coach Claris was under the impression that game three was a race to eight while in fact it was a game to 15. The Titans were up 8-6 when Claris found out. The Lady Bulldogs used a 9-3 run to beat Trask.

The Titans played three matches due to the uneven amount of teams in the league.

The final match started late and each coach decided to play an abbreviated match.

“They won game one handily, then were ahead 12-8 in game two, so we conceded,” said Claris. “It’s summer league and very late to be getting home.”

Williamson new Lady Pirate basketball coach

By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer Chris Williamson, a veteran coach in his native state of Maine, and an assistant coach for the Topsail High boys’ team the last several years under Jamie Rochelle, was approved Tuesday night by the Pender County Board of Education as the new Topsail girls’ basketball coach, replacing Andrew Ellington, who resigned after three years of leading the Lady Pirates program. Ellington, who was recently married, will remain at Topsail as a teacher. Williamson will come over from Trask and will be an Exceptional Children teacher.

According to Topsail Principal Berry Simmons, Williamson was one of several prospective candidates originally screened and interviewed by former Pirate athletic director Barry West before the list was narrow down to the candidates which were

Join us on Facebook

Chris Williamson interviewed by Simmons.

“We were looking for somebody that had experience coaching basketball and Chris had gone through the process with the athletic director and, when we narrowed the list of candidates down I conducted the interviews of several folks at that point and we selected Chris,” Simmons said. “We were blessed with several good candidates and I couldn’t have gone wrong, no matter what. It was a tough

call. I think that set Chris apart was his enthusiasm for the job. It also meant a lot that he is now on campus, on our staff. This is in no way a knock on adjunct coaches but it’s always better when your coaches are on site.”

Williams found out he was approved by the board when Simmons contacted him Wednesday morning.

“I found out this morning and I am really excited about the opportunity,” Williamson said. “I applied because I felt I had a lot of knowledge inn basketball. I coached a long time in Maine and I worked with a guy named Mike Adams, who is Mr. Basketball up there. I worked with him for a long time. I was Jamie’s assistant on the boys’ team but I felt I could do more. It’s a fine line between wanting to help and putting your on two cents in. You don’t want to step on any toes.

“Once it was decided I was going to Topsail to teach

there I just felt it was a good opportunity. I feel like we can do some good things with the girls if they are willing to work hard and do things the right way, try to make some noise in this area.”

Williams was born in Maine and attended Edward Little High School (1986 grad) in Auburn, where he played basketball. He attended Rollins College in Winter Park Florida but did not continue his basketball career. He graduated with a degree in Environmental Science and moved back to Auburn where worked a variety of jobs before getting his teaching credentials in Health and Physical Education, returning to his alma-mater, where he taught and coached for some 15 years. He eventually added a Special Education teaching certificate Chris and his wife Jen, a real-estate photographer,

State champion Pirate players reunited on Wilmington Sharks

By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer It is unknown whether former Topsail High players Danny Wilson, Sam Luchansky, and Bryce Cota ever heard the 1979 Peaches & Herb song, Reunited and it feels so good, but the three former members of the Pirates’ 2014 2A state championship team find themselves together again as members of the 2018 Wilmington Sharks in the Coastal Plains Wood Bat League and they indicated they are feeling good about it.

After Topsail, moved on to continue his career at UNC-Asheville, where he has played the infield, the outfield, and pitched. A rising senior Danny played for Maine in the New England College Baseball League after his freshman year, and with the Lexington Blowfish and the Sharks last year.

“We’re all just really glad we ended up together again,” Danny said. “Our coaches set up the summer teams in the fall, and I was really happy that I got to come to the Sharks. I’m pretty close to my host family (living at home), and it’s great that my parents can be there for every game.

There’s no better feeling that being home and eating my Mom’s cooking.

“I found out I was playing with the Sharks in October but I didn’t find out about Sam and Bryce until later.

I had no idea they would be

here, and when I found out I was really excited. We’re getting some playing time, and that’s what it’s all about, playing and getting better.

It’s a different world with the wooden bats and I’m not off to the best start, but I hit a grand slam last week so I feel like I’m heating up.”

Danny had some conversations with professional teams heading into the major-league draft. He was excited to see former teammates Clark Cota (10th round by the Oakland A’s) and Mason Berne (33rd round by the Atlanta Braves) get drafted. Playing professionally is something he has often thought about.

“Hopefully I’ll get more information in the fall,” Wilson said. “Certainly playing in a wooden-bat league helps, and it raises my chances a lot more. Absolutely I have aspirations of playing professionally. Since I was younger and watching it with my Dad I always wanted to make it there. But first it’s important to get my (Business) degree, and I hope to eventually get into real estate and work with my brother. But if the opportunity to play professionally comes along I am definitely going to seize the opportunity.”

Cota, a rising junior, attended Campbell after Topsail. He did not play summer ball after his freshman year.

“I pitched against UNCW during the year and I struck out the side and pitched pretty well after that so I started

thinking I should play summer ball and get some more experience,” Cota said. “My coaches got it all set up for me. It’s nice being home. I wake up in the mornings and go to the gym, go to the beach, and still enjoy the home life.

“I didn’t sign my (Sharks) contract until later so I didn’t know until then Danny and Sam would be here. It was like old times. The last game I started I got in a little jam and Sam came in and bailed me out, and Danny is playing outfield behind me and making great plays on defense. It’s great playing with them again.”

Over the last three years Bryce has witnessed his older brother (Clark) excel at UNCW and get drafted. It has definitely conjured up hopes of a professional opportunity.

“I am always going to work as hard as I can to improve,” Bryce said. “Seeing Clark and Mason get drafted makes it more a reality for guys like Sam, Danny, and I. I know I have to keep working and getting better. In the meantime I am going to enjoy my time with the Sharks, and enjoy the opportunity to play with Sam and Danny again.”

After Topsail Luchansky was continued his playing career at Belmont Abbey. Sam spent one summer with the Petersburg (Va.) Generals, and last summer was with the Wilson Tobs.

“I wasn’t going to play this summer because I got a job as an intern t Shipman-

Pender-Topsail Post & Voice, Thursday, June 21, 2018, Page 7A

Wright (law firm),” said Luchansky, who is majoring in Government and Political Philosophy and preparing to take the LSAT exam. “But then the folks with the Sharks reached out to my coaching staff. I think we all found we were going to be together again this past spring, and I was really excited.

“It’s great being on the field and getting the chance to play with them again. It just happened all of a sudden, and it’s good to be home and eating Momma’s cooking. It’s a bit of a rigorous schedule but it’s all worth it. I work Monday-through-Thursday at the law firm from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. so I wake up at 7:15 and get ready, go to the law firm until 1, then I usually go somewhere and study for the LSAT before going to the gym and to the field. Then I home and do it all again the next day.”

Much like Wilson and Cota, Sam entertains thoughts of professional ball after college, but he is a bit more pragmatic about that.

“There are always thoughts about professional ball. I would love to be drafted and I would absolutely take it if it was offered. But I am aware of my situation, my lack of height. I have always been a person who likes to plan things out so I am going ahead with the LSAT and law school. If something pops up professionally I’ll take it but, if not, I have my backup plan in place.”

Top sports stories of the 2017-18 school year

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The 2017-18 school year was one of great accomplishments along with some heartbreaking results and decisions. The Post Voice would like to touch on the six biggest sports stories of the year. We will run one each week.

Number 6 Titan football earns record eight wins; omitted from playoffs The Heide Trask football team has been on the upswing in recent years under the tutelage of Head Coach Johnathan Taylor along with his valuable assistant Randy Pugh. The 2017 season turned out to be both one of the best years along with one of the

most heart-breaking years as well for the Titans and their fans.

The Titans started the year with a 20-0 loss to Topsail in a game where starting quarterback and senior leader Tyrease Armstrong was lost to a knee injury on the first play from scrimmage. Taylor and crew went to junior Jacob Johnson in what proved to be a good move.

In week two the Titans annihilated West Columbus 48-0.

The team racked up just under 400 yards of offense. That was the first of four wins in a row. In week six the Titans faced Richlands in game that proved to be monumental in their quest to make the playoffs in their first year as a 2A combatant.

Johnson had gotten comfortable under center and the Titan offense was making lots of power. However, the junior got sick and missed the whole week of school and did not dress for the game. The Titans went to Anthony Tucker.

He too was hurt early. Taylor went to his junior varsity signal caller. The Titans fell 29-7 to a Wildcat team that most thought they were better than.

After that loss, Coach Taylors resilient team ran off four more wins before facing Southwest Onslow in the last game of the regular season.

This game was for the conference title.

The powerful Stallions won the game 43-14. The score was 24-14 at the half and the Ti-

tans represented themselves well. What happened next is inexcusable.

When the state playoff brackets came out there was no sign of the Titans in the brackets. The state of North Carolina and its high school sports governing body the NCHSAA left an 8-3 Titan team out of the mix, citing strength of schedule among other things. The state used the ranking system of Maxpreps to rank teams.

After the fact the NCHSSA revised their way of picking teams for the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Titans won a school record eight football games yet was left out of the playoffs in what will be remembered as one of the great travesties in Titan history.

posteditor@post-voice.com Mashack leaves Titantown a winner

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The 2017-18 version of the Heide Trask Titan means basketball team won a school record 25 basketball games.

The team had a good mix of young players as well as a couple of seniors that steadied the ship.

Among those seniors was standout shooting guard Jaylin Mashack.

Jaylin came into the season as the proverbial role player.

He did what Head Coach Rodney Orr asked of him and never worried about how many shots he took as long as the team was winning. However, Mr. Mashack became deadly from the outside.

He nailed many threepoint shots with one of his favorite spots being from the corner. He averaged just under 15 points a game and also contributed two steals a game. He led the team with 43 three-point baskets made.

Jaylin Mashack leaves Trask a winner.

Hall has a great senior season at Topsail High

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer When one describes a good defensive football player there are many ways to describe them. There is the he is as tough as nails or he always seems to around the ball.

For recent Topsail Pirate graduate Hunter Hall all of those could be used to describe him.

However, the best way to describe Hunter is that he does not mind sticking his nose in there and making the big hit.

Hunter led the Topsail Pirate defense in tackles, both solo and regular. He was a tough player to stop.

In fact, his best game of the year was toward the end of the season when he blocked two punts in one football game.

After it all is said and done, Hunter Hall can look back and say he had a very good run at Topsail.

Hunter Hall had a great senior season.

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

Summer fishing is here

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Fishing Fanatic Last week found the area anglers beginning to transition into their summer fishing patterns. This means early mornings and late afternoon and night fishing.

The area anglers are finding some nice sized red drum in the marshes and inland waters of Topsail. The best baits have been live menhaden and cut baits. Some skilled anglers have been fishing with select top water baits as well. Your best bet is to find some baitfish and work the outside perimeter.

There have been a few reds caught in the surf as well.

Cut baits will work here.

The flounder bite is getting better as well. Find a dock or another structure and fish the surrounding areas of it. The usual live baits will work here. There have been reports of some decent fish being caught in the breakers as well.

The pier anglers have been catching the usual late spring and early summer variety of fish. Some black

Performers Continued from page 6A and their daughter Addison (14), a rising 10th-grader, son Corbin (8), who was the water boy for the Pirate boys’ team and who has now been “promoted” to assistant manager, and daughter Eastyn (5) were looking for a new start when they relocated to Hampstead three years ago. Williamson got a job at Southwest Elementary in Jacksonville before eventually winding up at Trask High School. He will be an EC teacher at Topsail starting in the fall.

Over the last three years under Andrew Ellington the Lady Pirates have amassed a 45-32 overall record, going 17-21 in the tough Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference. With eight returning players from last year’s 15-11 (4-8 in conference) team, Williamson is hoping to continue to build on that three-year foundation. I had a coach tell me one time that potential is something take as a compliment, but it’s really not,” Williamson said.

“It’s something you could do but you haven’t done. Could you do it – yes – but it hasn’t been done. What I hope to do is push the girls to grow at a couple of levels this year, take that next step. We’re going to

drum have been caught at night on shrimp.

The Spanish fishing off of the pier has been good when the water is clear. A gotcha plug and plenty of patience will work here.

The freshwater anglers are complaining about the rain and high waters. Despite that they are catching a few bream and some cat fish as well. The bream will bite red worms while chicken livers and minnows have been working for the cats.

This week’s fishing tip Catching a sheepshead is a tricky deal. They like to nibble and if you aren’t careful you will pull the bait right out of their mouth. If you are pier fishing or fishing by a dock, drop your line straight down until it hits the bottom. Bounce it off of the bottom about a foot or so. Remember a sheepshead is a wary fish. They will be spooked quickly.

Some anglers use a jighead in addition to a sand fiddler. Remember, it is all about the presentation with these fish along with plenty of patience.

have to work hard this summer to do the little things we need to do to get better.

“I want our girls to learn how to make basketball decisions. You can have the best plays and the best sets in whatever offense you run but we want the girls to be able to shoot and make decisions, look at the defense and take what it gives you. We will also work on our defense, team defense. We want to take the pass away, deny the passing lanes, and take care of the ball. Less than 12 turnovers a game is going to be our goal.

“Then rotate defensively on the help side. We want to work on our press break, or two, get conditioned, and work on the team concept.

Hopefully we’ll have everyone out as much as possible and we can work running our offense from the inside, out, run our offense through Payton (Little). It will not only help the other girls get their shots, it will help them get better shots, higher quality shots.

Williamson hit the floor running as the girls played in the Flight 22 tournament this past Monday through Wednesday at Trask. Along with two or three practices a week Williamson hopes to arrange more games during the summer months.

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer

At first glance you may think that recent Pender High School graduate Caroline Peterson was a cheerleader at the Burgaw school.

She has the look and feel of someone that is full of school spirit.

However, when the petite young lady dons her Pender Lady Patriot volleyball uniform she transitions into one of the better setters that the school has had.

Miss Peterson played under the direction of Matt Davis. She was in fact an extension of the veteran coach’s knowledge. She knew where to be and when to be there.

She set up her teammates for big spikes as well playing the other spots on the court as well.

Caroline recently graduated from Pender and will move on to the next chapter of her life. She can look back at her career and called it a resounding success.

Lucile Maria Dew McIntyre WILMINGTON -- The final curtain fell in the life of Lucile Maria Dew McIntyre Monday, June 11, 2018, at her home in Wilmington. She has now joined the love of her life, Johnny Lee, who left this Earth in 2009.

Lucile was bor n in the spring of 1943 to Jasper Hinson and Grace Barefoot Dew in Sampson County. She had one older brother, Jasper Glenn Dew, lovingly known as ‘Jack’, with whom she grew up in the Delway community. Lucile graduated from Union High School in 1961 and went on to East Carolina Teachers’ College where she completed her Bachelor’s degree in English Education and a concentration in Theatre.

Lucile married Johnny Lee McIntyre in 1964 and welcomed a daughter, Sunday Rae, a year later. John Christopher joined the cast a few years later. The McIntyre Family Cast was complete and Lucile and Johnny set out to produce an incredible show!

Act I: “The Early Years” included scenes set in Newport, Hillsborough, and New Bern, NC. She began her career as an educator at Haw River Elementary before she moved to Stanford Junior High in Orange County. She was recognized as an Outstanding Young Educator by the North Carolina Jaycees while at Stanford. After the family moved to New Bern she joined the faculty of West Craven High School where she served as the faculty advisor for the school’s Junior Civitan club.

While at WCHS, Lucile’s Junior Civitans won numerous awards and honors and Lucile was named NC District East Faculty Advisor of the Year in 1977. She was also tapped as Craven County Teacher of the Year in 1977.

Act II: “The Drama Years” opened in Pender County when the McIntyre Family Cast returned to Johnny’s family roots in the Shiloh Community near Atkinson in Pender County. Lucile joined the faculty of Pender High School in the fall of 1979 cast

in the role of ‘English teacher’.

Lucile was again recognized as county Teacher of the year for the 1980-81 school year.

During that first year Lucile brought Broadway theatre to Pender County producing Lil’ Abner in 1980 and Hello Dolly in 1981. Pender High School grew a theatre department soon after. From that point the Pender Thespian Troupe developed to remarkable heights.

Lucile began to write scripts that showcased her students’ unique stories and talents.

Among them, These Wonderful Years and Dragons were published and continue to be performed by youth theater groups around the country. Lucile received the Robroy Farquhar Award from the North Carolina Thespian Society in 1991. Yearly trips to Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana to compete at the national level became normal for Mrs. Mac’s kids.

In 1993 Lucile and Johnny relocated to Wilmington and Lucile took the leading role in the Hoggard High School Theatre Department. The tradition of excellence in theatrical performance under Mrs. Mac continued until 1999 when she took a medical retirement.

A highlight of those years at Hoggard was taking her Thespians to perform in the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Lucile proved herself to be the right actress for the role of Theatre Teacher by landing speaking roles in films such as The Winter People alongside Kurt Russell and Kelly McGinnis, The Handmaid’s Tale starring Robert Duvall and Faye Dunaway, and Nell with principal actors Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson-produced by Jodie Foster, among many others. Lucile was also a frequent character actress in the Matlock series.

Teaching by leading made her credible but it was her ability to personally connect with her students which made her memorable.

Act III: “The Retirement Years.” Lucile’s first bout with cancer brought about her retirement from the theatre classroom but could not quiet her spirit.Thirty-three years in the role of public educator was to be admired.

Partnering with her son, John, she began to co-write and produce religious dramas.

Southside Baptist Church was the stage for Footsteps of Jesus and Deliverance – both Easter Passion plays, and her last published play, Freedom Fires which honors the many men and women in the U.S. military. Lucile’s mind was always in script-writing mode and those who knew her often heard, “That needs to be in a

play!”

In her more recent retirement years Lucile had enjoyed playing the role of Grandma the best. Her grandchildren Matthew, Sophia, and Fisher were the light of her days. She loved celebrating the simple joys of life with them. And they have loved every moment of it. Her children, Sunday (Dan) Allen and John (Kim) McIntyre and her grandchildren have wonderful memories to sustain them.

Visitation was held at Wrightsville Beach Baptist Church, 601 Causeway Dr., June 14 at 6 p.m. with a celebration of life at 7 p.m.

Memorials may be made to N.C. Baptists on Mission, PO Box 1107 Cary North Carolina 27512. Services provided by Andrews Mortuary.

This Week’s CROSSWORD

June 7th, Crossword Solution:

Bill Howard Outdoors

By Bill Howard Post & Voice Columnist

The first time I ever stayed in a tent, to my recollection, was at my Aunt Sue’s. I was staying the night with her one weekend and she put up a small one in the back yard. I always looked forward to seeing Aunt Sue for two reasons; she had two small trees that were great for climbing in her front yard, and there was a train track just a few yards from her back yard. The tent she put up, that was just icing on the cake!

Once I was old enough for school, the summers were filled with my friends coming over and sleeping in our

small orange tent. We never slept until the morning, and usually we would be a little wet where the dew would start dripping through the tent fabric.

My wife also recalled her chi ldhood camping trips.

Her response for going camping as adults was, “I am old enough now to know I can get a room”. Evidently, she had a change of heart after a recent trip to Asheville. “It is so beautiful, let’s carry the kids camping.”

So, we bought a tent large enough for us not to kill each other, and packed up the family for a weekend camping trip. Oh, and we carried our two smallest dogs as well.

This could be a disaster, or it could be something special.

We planned the trip where we would fish for a bit, but mostly just relax at the campgrounds in Pisgah National Forest.

The only other extra activity would be to hike Mount Mitchell for a few hours.

If you have not been camp-

ing in a tent in a while, there are a few things to remember. One, the ground is very hard. Two, it gets really cold at night, especially in the mountains. Three, there are no showers. Well, on the first note, we had an inflatable air mattress. It did not hold air.

The second note, sleeping bags work great. Except when you have them opened with one for the base and one for the cover and the kid you are laying beside keeps pulling it off of you. On the last note, a cold mountain stream does a really nice job when used to wash your hair. Of course, that is if you have hair. I am basing that observance off my wife and daughter.

I will also add a couple of more notable observances.

When camping in the deep dark woods, wildlife should be abundant if you look for it. That we did, and we saw bobcats, turkey (where were they during the season?), and a coyote. For my wife, daughter and youngest son, it was

Pender-Topsail Post & Voice, Thursday, June 21, 2018, Page 9A

the first coyote and bobcat they had ever seen. The last note, campfires are a must. As Susan mentioned one morning, there is nothing like deer sausage, bacon, eggs, and pancakes cooked over an open campfire. S’mores becomes a food group when sitting on a log. And somehow, some way that only God knows, the warmth of a campfire penetrates the family and warms the heart, taking away all bickering, aggravating, and other sibling hostilities, if but for a few moments.

Horses have been central to the ASPCA’s work since its founding 150 years ago, when Henry Bergh stopped

a cart driver from beating his horse, resulting in the first successful arrest for the mistreatment of a horse April 26, 1866.

The ASPCA Help A Horse Day contest is a wonderful opportunity for the Cape Fear Equine Rescue team to share with the residents and business of Rocky Point and surrounding counties to help spread awareness about the at-risk horses in the community who are in need of loving homes.

Cool Water Ripple were able to present the book at the Blueberry Festival in Burgaw thanks to the Lead Coordinator, Olivia Dawson. Denning is originally from Burgaw and g rew up there. Her grandmother, Edith Sherman, worked at the Pender County Library for more than 25 years and drove the bookmobile for many of those years with Ms. Norma Keith. The proceeds of the book for that day are being donated to the library in her Granny’s memory, and Cool Water Ripple is also donating 20 percent of their sales.

Additionally, Cool Water

Ripple sponsored the Blueberry Reading Room located in the Museum Room at the Train Depot. After introducing her book, Denning said that they moved to the Museum where a different book was read every 30 minutes.

It started at 9:30 a.m. with I’m Not Just Different and ended at 4 p.m. Two readings were co-read in Spanish, as well. Denning’s aunts, who were all teachers, along with the publisher and illustrator also read. Later, Chic Cariaga led a 30-minute session when the children assisted in writing a story.

“It is part of a program called “I Wish, I Write, I Read” which he and Kathleen Ferry have started for a school system in Columbus, Georgia. I would love to see this incorporated into our area, as well,” said Denning.

Allison Davis Denning was born and raised in Burgaw, and she and her husband, David, have been living in Wilmington for 25 of their 36 married years. Their sons, Chris and Alex, went through the New Hanover County school system.

Traveller just made matters worse. On top of that, let’s face it—it was just an old toy, and even if it were in great shape, I wouldn’t have sold it anyway, regardless of the value. At least that’s what I told myself.

Presence Abiding

By Dr. Ray W. Mendenhall Contributing Writer Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stays awake in vain. It is vain that you rise early and go late to rest, for he gives to his beloved sleep.

Psalm 127: 1-2 (a devotional prayer of ancient pilgrims on the way to Jerusalem) You wouldn’t hire a contractor who ignored the plans in building or worse had no plans at all. You wouldn’t hire a ship captain who didn’t

believe in navigation. You wouldn’t hire a wilderness guide who had no compass, no maps, no survival skills.

You wouldn’t fly with a pilot who had no flight plan.

The fact is you wouldn’t or shouldn’t depend on anyone who lacks a plan, a strategy, a roadmap for whatever they are undertaking. It’s important to know where you’re going if you want to get there.

It’s important to know the way if you want to arrive there successfully. It’s important to understand any possible challenges, pitfalls, obstacles or conditions that could hinder you along the way. How you prepare. What

Where you look for guidance can make all the difference.

Many of the pilgrims in Old Testament days who set on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem were traveling an unknown road. Most had never been to Jerusalem before. They were crossing terrain unfamiliar to them.

There were no road signs; you had to know the way.

Trails and paths went this way and that; you had to know which ones to follow and which to avoid. Danger lurked here and there in the great wildernesses. Obstacles arose, challenges presented themselves.

Travelling to Jerusalem in those days was much like travelling the uncharted roads of life. You gathered resources, you tried to plan and prepare, but the journey of

in this world.

So, we look down the road of life and ponder its way.

We set off for the future and seek the light to guide us. As we undertake this journey of faith and life, as we set out again on this great adventure before us, remember that God has set the plan.

Trust in God to clear the path and guide us on our way.

To travel any other way is to travel aimlessly.

My definition of faith is trusting God with your life, just that, trusting God with your life; trusting God to nurture it, preserve it, protect it, renew it, and guide it.

God has the plan.

God is the plan. God is behind it all. To trust God is to stand on the rock that will not falter or fail. To trust God is to stand with firm set feet that will not flounder or slip.

God is the fortress that will preserve our life and our way

life took more than just bold resolve and courageous intentions. It requires a guide, a plan, a proven way.

The psalmist reminds our traveler and us of how to travel in this world. What to depend on.

Unless the Lord builds the house they labor in vain who build it. Unless the Lord guards the city, the guard keeps watch in vain.

In the physical journeys of this world as well as the spiritual ones, we come to rely on someone who has a plan for the journey, who knows how things work and can carry us through.

We come to rely on the creator who made all things in this world to guide us through its perils and possibilities. We come to rely on the Lord. We depend on God for our lives.
