Another basket of fresh, hot spots comes out of the fryer Saturday afternoon at the Spot Festival in Hampstead. Topsail High students (right) worked the prep line to get the plates ready for the tasty little ďŹ sh. Sales of spot plates were scheduled to stop at 5 p.m. Saturday afternoon, but the line was so long, Pender EMS and Fire volunteers kept the ďŹ sh cooking to serve everyone who came for a plate.

Muller retired as Pender GOP Chairman Mar. 27 after 13 years in the position.

Millis was in Raleigh this week with former Rep. Carolyn Justice meeting with House leaders and learning the ropes with Justice – who know her way around the town.

Former Pender County Republican Party chairman Bob Muller was chosen to fill the unexpired term of Rep. Chris Millis, who resigned Sept. 15.

Rep. Chris Millis congratulated Muller at his retirement as Pender GOP chairman Mar. 27.

“I appreciate the opportunity to represent the people of the 16th House District, and I plan to continue the conservative leadership that Chris Millis provided to keep making North Carolina a great place to live, work, and do business,�

Muller said.

Muller received calls from the N.C. Speaker of the House after his appointment, along with long-time Republican leader Robin Hayes, who is currently head of the state Republican party.

Muller was chosen to fill the unexpired term of Millis last week at a meeting of the county executive committee, with about 50 in attendance.

Muller was nominated by Millis, and elected by aclimaton when no other nominations were offered.

Muller, who hails from upstate New York, came to Hamptead after retiring from IBM while working in Research

Triangle Park. Muller worked with IBM at locations around the world, retiring from the RTP location.

The 16th House District

includes Pender County and a small portion of Onslow County. Muller will serve in the house until the November 2018 election.

From Staff Reports The first of three Candidates Forums for Pender County municipal Elections will be held Oct. 5 at the Topsail Beach Assembly Building at 6 p.m.

The forum for Burgaw is scheduled for Oct. 12 at the Depot, and Surf City Oct. 28 at the town Welcome Center.

All candidates on the November ballot in the three towns are invited to participate in their respective forums. “These are not debates, but forums which gives each candidate the opportunity to share who they are, why they are running, and talk about the issues that are important in their town,� said Post & Voice Publisher Andy Pettigrew.

The format of each forum is the same as past events, with each candidate given ample time for an opening and closing statement, and questions are submitted by citizens in attendance to the moderator. “As the moderator, I look for questions that are relevant to each town, and questions that can be answered by all candidates. I don’t take questions that are specific to a particular candidate, since all candidates can’t answer such a question,�

Pettigrew said. “I like for candidates to arrive a little early and plan to stay after the forum to talk with voters who may have questions. If you are running for a seat on a town board, you should be able to explain why you are running and what you would like to do if elected.�

The Topsail Beach forum will begin at 6 p.m. Oct. 5 at the Assembly Building. All candidates are invited.

Expanded Sunday hunting rules go into effect

By Jefferson Weaver Contributing Writer Officials hope loosening some Sunday hunting regulations will encourage more sportsmen to head for the woods and fields this year.

Changes to the Outdoor Heritage laws will increase opportunities to hunt wild animals and upland game birds on private lands. The law also gives authority to the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) and other public landowners to implement new options for Sunday hunting on public lands. Sunday hunting for migratory birds, including waterfowl, remains prohibited.

On private lands s(UNTERS MAY HUNT WITHIN 500 yards of a residence, potentially opening millions of acres of private land previously offlimits to Sunday hunters. s(UNTERS MAY NOT HUNT AT any time on Sunday within 500 yards of a place of religious worship, nor hunt deer with the use of dogs. s3HOOTING HOURS REMAIN unchanged, meaning private lands may be hunted for wild animals and upland game birds with a firearm on Sunday prior to 9:30 a.m. and after 12:30 p.m. s#ONTROLLED HUNTING PREserves are not restricted between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. if they are licensed pursuant to G.S. 113.273(g).

The process will include consideration of all user-group perspectives. s4HE #OMMISSION WILL WORK collaboratively with governmental, private, and corporate partners to determine interest in allowing opportunities to hunt on Sundays with a firearm on the approximately 1.5 million acres of game lands OWNED BY THOSE PARTNERS )F these partners are willing to consider this option, then the Commission will follow the process described for Commission-owned game lands.

Migratory birds s(UNTING OF MIG RATORY birds on Sundays remains prohibited. s4HE NEW LEGISLATION GIVES the Commission the authority to lift the prohibition on migratory bird hunting after March 1, 2018. s4HE LAW ALSO MANDATES THAT a study be conducted by the Commission to consider the biological and resource management impacts, economic impacts, and social impacts associated with hunting migratory birds on Sundays.

Fundraiser for Pink Heals Oct. 13 at SFI in Surf City

Music at St. Mary’s

By Lori Kirkpatrick Post & Voice Staff Writer SFI Group, Inc. and local community members will hold a fundraiser Oct. 13 to benefit the Pink Heals Cape Fear Chapter. The community appreciation, fundraising tent party will be held from 5 until 8 p.m. in the parking lot in front of SFI’s office in Surf City. Pink Heals supports cancer patients and their families in the Cape Fear region.

The group’s mission is to spread love and hope throughout the Cape Fear region.

Volunteers climb into the pink fire truck armed with everything from financial support to hugs for delivery to affected families. “SFI Group is honored to help Pink Heals bring these families the support they need to retur n to healthy, productive, happy lives,� said SFI employee Cindy Holcomb. “We hope the funds we raise this year will continue to bring much needed support and comfort to patients and families in our local Cape Fear region that are afflicted by cancer. As you know, there are many facets to putting on an event of this caliber. So we

are reaching out to the community to help us make this year’s event even better than our last. Please spread the word to everyone you can.�

When a person is battling cancer, they are in for the fight of their life, but they are not the only one to feel the effects. Family, friends, co-workers, and even community are impacted. Holcomb and the others at SFI feel that every life is tied to one another, and they have learned firsthand the impact that cancer can have on everyone involved in that person’s life.

They know this because they live with their very own nine-year breast cancer survivor, Michelle Wheeler. “She is a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a wife, a mother, a friend, a mentor, a boss, a business owner in our community

and an advocate for the needy.

She is truly our inspiration.

Her life touches each of us, making our own lives more fulfilling. Somewhere in Cape Fear there is a woman just beginning her battle. We want to help her join Michelle on that list of Survivors. So, we are gearing up to raise funds for the Pink Heals Cape Fear chapter again this year.� Said Holcomb.

In 2016, SFI was able to raise $5,000 for the cause.

This year, they are aiming to top that dollar figure at their annual event. The tent party will be catered by Middle of The Island, and beer and wine will accompany the meal.

There will be music provided

by D.J. Rick Jones.

A silent auction and raffle of items donated by local businesses will be held, as

well. “The Pink Heals fire truck and ambulance will be at the event to greet you. We will also have the pink Jeep.

Join us in being a leader in our community in the fight against breast cancer. We can all agree that this is a very important cause, and your involvement is critical to our success. Be prepared to mingle, eat, drink, dance, bid, play cornhole, donate and truly make a difference in the life of cancer patients in the Cape Fear region,� said Holcomb.

The event will be held at SFI Group’s Surf City office, located at 13500 NC Hwy 50 in Surf City. For inquiries about the event, please contact Cindy Holcomb at 910-329-4443 or by email at cindyh@quotesfi. com.

New location, new look at Bandana’s Restaurant

By Lori Kirkpatrick Post & Voice Staff Writer Since moving to its new location, Bandana’s Restaurant and Grill in Burgaw has taken on a whole new look.

Inside their bar area, known as the Wagrub Room, they are currently offering weekend entertainment.

Visitors can come in for karaoke each Friday night from 9 p.m. until midnight. Customers can also enjoy a live band, Brothers 3, every Saturday night from 8 until 11 p.m.

Brothers 3 consists of local musicians David Allen, Johnny Allen and Randolph Taylor. Although the two Allens are unrelated, the band’s name originated from the shared surname. Johnny Allen plays the guitar, sax and harmonica. Randolph Taylor is the bass player and David Allen plays drums. All three of the men sing. “We play some beach music, southern rock and country. We play a little mixture, and we like to think of ourselves as a variety dance band. It’s been good, and the crowd has been pretty responsive,� said David Allen.

Owners Tony and Cindy Fontana are excited about their new entertainment venue. The couple said that it is good to see families coming in and doing things together, like participating in Friday night karaoke and enjoying the Saturday

night band. “They’ve got a following,� said Tony Fontana, referring to the Brothers 3. “Until they came together here, they hadn’t played together in almost 23 years. It’s good for them and for us. They are back into what they love to do, and they play the kind of music that fits our clientele. Most everybody knows their songs, regardless of age. It’s timeless music.

They actually use us as a platform to practice, so they just leave everything set up.� “They are very dedicated, and we appreciate that. They take good care of us and we take good care of them,� added Cindy.

The Fontanas said that although the quality of their food and service will remain the same, the new location has created a different business altogether. They seem to be serving a new group of people since they moved from the downtown area of Burgaw. The couple loved being downtown, but they said they had gotten to the point where they realized there was no room to grow.

The need for space became the major motivation for their move. “Everybody loved the building and being downtown, but ends have to meet. We struggled like any business, but after three years it never progressed any further financially because of the size; but now in just four months, we have almost

outgrown this building,� said Tony.

After putting in a new floor, painting the walls and building the bar, Tony came up with the concept behind the Wagrub Room. Customers had begun talking about their memories of Burgaw; and since Tony had been a student at Burgaw High himself, he decided to call it the Wagrub Room. The name comes not only from the backwards spelling of Burgaw, but also from the title of the school’s yearbook.

Cindy took it a step further, thinking the room needed a picture of the old school that had burned down. A woman in town happened to have one hanging in her office, and when Cindy saw it she knew it was the perfect image for the Wagrub Room. Once the owner found out what Cindy wanted to do with the picture, she insisted on donating it so that a larger print could be made. “That picture has invoked so many memories, so many emotions. We’ve had people come in here and tear up because they remember when it burned. People at different tables just start talking about when they went to Burgaw, and they talk about teachers they had. Now people have started donating items, and I know that this wall is going to reflect what we want it to reflect,� said Cindy.

Bandana’s Restaurant is located at 602 Hwy. 117 in

Trash disposal problem has no good solution Regardless of how much we reuse, recycle, compost, and salvage, thee is always going to be a certain amount of garbage produced by every individual and business. We live in a pre-packaged world today, and it’s difficult, if not impossible, to have a zero-refuse Consider, if you will, footprint. that a dozen households That trash, regardless can fill a large container of of how much we produce, garbage in a week, under has to be disposed of. That some circumstances. Now disposal process is going to cost money. multiply that by every conUnfortunately, residents tainer site, every day, and of other counties sometimes pretty soon, the residents try to sideslip their own who pay their user fees regulations by using Pender’s are subsidizing folks from disposal sites. Whether it’s a developer disposing of build- other areas. ing debris or a homeowner with a couple extra bags of household garbage, it still costs the taxpayers of Pender when that garbage goes away. Consider, if you will, that a dozen households can fill a large container of garbage in a week, under some circumstances. Now multiply that by every container site, every day, and pretty soon, the residents who pay their user fees are subsidizing folks from other areas.

It’s a common problem – Bladen County, which has multiple convenience sites and no proof of residence requirement, uses private security to intercept out-of-county dumpers. Columbus County requires that license tag numbers be written down, and workers have the discretion to tell people to move on. Other neighboring counties use stickers as well as private security.

As inconvenient as it is to have a sticker displayed in a vehicle, it’s a system that works here. It would be wise of the county and Waste Industries to come up with a way to better serve households with multiple vehicles. Perhaps the option of a “trash card” as used by some counties could replace the sticker (each resident is issued a simple ID card listing their name, address and customer number when the solid waste fee is paid every year.)

We have enough trash of our own in Pender without taking on that of other communities. Perhaps the enforcement was a bit heavy-handed in some communities recently, perhaps the response by the citizens was less than understanding.

Either way, this is the system we have to work with right now. The old days of unmanned, 24-hour accessible dumpsters scattered throughout the countryside are long gone, and unfortunately, as our population grew, those sites became even more unmanageable. Curbside pickup of everything from every address would be prohibitive in terms of logistics as well as cost to the taxpayers.

Until we can come up with a better way to police “illegal trash” from coming into the county, we’ll all just have to deal with a little sticker shock.

The Point

Notes from the Field The blessings, curse of idle time

Bill Messer When I was much younger, and nearing the end of my working years, I looked forward to retirement, but wondered what I was going to do with all that time I used to spend working at gainful employment. Now, I hardly have any time left over, seemingly busier than ever, but the difference is the time is spent doing things I want to do, like to do, or occur once in a while – not the daily grind.

I think I am at my very best when I’m totally bored, desperate to take my mind off – nothing. It’s the nothing that’s the silver lining, because bored with nothing in the forefront lets unexpected things pop up from the deepest inner sources, things I’ve seen or heard previously and tucked away for ‘one of these days’.

The problem is that those things I put off until I had the time to pursue them often take on a life of their own and become all-consuming, with no time left for anything else. And the other problem – many of these things I put off because of the cost.

Consequently, I have already done all the inexpensive things.

For instance: When I was in the fourth or fifth grade, in art class, I made a whale, mouth wide open, that turned out prety good, I thought. I enjoyed it and determined to try it again later. When my employment brought me to North Carolina in the early ‘80s, I ran across a couple of books that fascinated me, “Raised in Clay” and “Turners and Burners” about the local pottery practitioners centered more or less around Asheboro, NC. I started visiting the potters featured in the books, waded through all the various types being made in the various potteries and settled on the original type that had caught my eye, N.C. folk pottery, the ones that made practical pieces; jugs, bowls,

Jefferson Weaver

The double standard is alive and well-paid I really couldn’t care less about professional football.

I admire anyone whose physical prowess is such that they can, at least for a few years, make a living off of it. I find it ridiculous that guys playing a game have a starting salary higher than the budgets of some small towns, but I’m also a fan of the free market. If people are willing to pay someone that much money to play a game, then by all means, they should have the right to do so. I won’t be attending a game, or even watching more than a few minutes of one on television. Nor will I be purchasing any licensed products, since I really have no particular affection for any of the teams. I have no antipathy for them either. I truly don’t care.

Now, I love high school ball, where the players still have dreams – but that’s different.

But Sunday’s anti-American display by more than a handful of NFL players has turned me into something different.

I am sure most of you have heard by now about all the players who “took a knee” during the National Anthem. Some did it out of a confessed hatred of the president, while others are protesting racism, either perceived or real, by police. Some are just doing so because they have a herd mentality, and want to do what they think is cool.

If a player wants to speak out about a political or social issue, they have the right do so. That’s the beauty of living in a free country where people who play games can make more

Jefferson Weaver in a year than I have or will in my entire career.

They don’t even have to sing the song, or say the pledge of allegiance, if they feel that strongly.

They should be ashamed of themselves for protesting and trying to shame those who do.

The National Anthem is something that should bring us all together, regardless of race, religion, or political persuasion. I have stood beside a fellow who takes pride in being a bleeding heart liberal (his words) while we both sang that song at the tops of our lungs. We don’t agree on anything, even the sanctity of motherhood, but we can and do debate our different opinions without being ugly, and e agree on the greatness that is America. The anthem doesn’t belong the current president, the immediate preceding holder of that office, or any other president. It’s a song of our country, not a commentary on current events.

I find it fascinating that these ballplayers and much of the media had a problem

with players who openly express their faith in Christ.

We have debates and lawsuits raging across the country because high school and college coaches and their players want to pray before sporting events. No one is forcing non-believers to pray – at least, in the testimony in those cases that have gone to trial so far, no one has said they were forced to pray, or even asked to simply stand still for a moment.

Yet the heroes are those who have no problem showing their own disgust, if not hatred, for a country that allows them the ability to earn enough money to buy an island or two simply for being a good ballplayer.

Remember the whole “pig sock” scandal during NFL training camp? The player who wore those socks lives in a gated property, and has bodyguards and a driver – yet he fears police, and made some comments that demonstrated, in my opinion, why the NFL needs better helmet designs. Yet

Flu vaccines specifically for seniors Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any specific flu shots that are better suited for seniors? I just turned 65 and would like to find out what’s recommended and how Medicare covers it.

Semi-Healthy Senior Dear Semi-Healthy, There are actually two different flu vaccines available this year that are designed specifically for seniors age 65 and older. One option is the Fluzone High-Dose, which has been available since 2010, and the other is the new FDA approved FLUAD vaccine (you only need to get one of these).

The Fluzone High-Dose (see Fluzone.com) is a highpotency vaccine that contains four times the amount of antigen as a regular flu shot does, which creates a stronger immune response for better protection. While the new FLUAD vaccine (FLUAD.com) contains an added ingredient called adjuvant MF59 that also helps create a stronger immune response.

The extra protection these vaccines provide is particularly helpful to seniors who have weaker immune defenses and have a great risk of developing dangerous flu complications. The CDC estimates that the flu puts more than 200,000 people in

the hospital each year and kills an average of 24,000 – 80 to 90 percent of whom are seniors.

But be aware that both the Fluzone High-Dose and FLUAD are not recommended for seniors who are allergic to chicken eggs, or those who have had a severe reaction to a flu vaccine in the past.

You should also know that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not recommend one vaccination over the other, and to date, there have been no studies comparing the two vaccines.

If you decide you don’t want to get a senior-specific flu shot, there are other options available to people 65 years and older including the standard (trivalent) flu shot, the quadrivalent flu shot which protects against four different flu viruses, and the FluBlok vaccine for those who have egg allergies.

To locate a vaccination site that offers any of these flu shots, visit Vaccines.gov and type in your ZIP code. You’ll also be happy to know that as a Medicare beneficiary, Part B will cover 100 percent of the costs of any flu shot, as

long as your doctor, health clinic or pharmacy agrees not to charge you more than Medicare pays.

Pneumonia Vaccines Two other important vaccinations the CDC recommends to seniors, especially this time of year, are the pneumococcal vaccines for pneumonia. Around 1 million Americans are hospitalized with pneumonia each year, and about 50,000 people die from it.

The CDC is now recommending that all seniors, 65 or older, get two vaccinations –Prevnar 13 and Pneumovax 23. Both vaccines, which are administered just once at different times, work in different ways to provide maximum protection.

If you haven’t yet received any pneumococcal vaccine you should get the Prevnar 13 first, followed by Pneumovax 23 six to 12 months later. But if you’ve already been vaccinated with Pneumovax 23, wait at least one year before getting the Prevnar 13.

Medicare Part B covers both shots, if they are taken at least 11 months apart.

Savoring summer I’m not sure why I am still surprised to see school supplies replace sunscreen and swimsuits in stores by early July. Seems summer is over July fifth in retail world as they rush to stock supplies for next season, rather than savoring the one we are in.

When I was a kid, summer lasted three months; June, July and August. School didn’t start until September.

Though we didn’t walk to school barefoot, uphill in the snow, we did enjoy August as we savored the end of summer through Labor Day. We spent our lives outdoors, looking for adventure.

Seems summer for kids these days involves air conditioning, electronics and boredom.

I miss those long lazy summers growing up; sleeping in, hanging at the pool and laying out in the sun with my friends all day, living on ice pops and Cornys (precursor to Cheez Doodles); staying for swim team practice and in later years walking to the high school for cheerleading practice.

Of course evenings were reserved for exploring the ball parks, from Little League to American Legion, wearing out wads of super bubble, slurping green snow cones and seeing who we could see (and who might see us in our short shorts and summer tans.)

Those were the days my friend, we thought would never end. But they did.

And now the days seem so much shorter, in spite of the fact that they still include the same amount of time. And it passes at the same rate it always has, though it feels so much faster as I age.

I enjoy summer, but I love spring and fall even more, so saying good-bye to summer is bittersweet.

It snuck up on me after a crazy spring travel spree from Asheville to Nashville, Louisville, Southport, Oak Island and beyond. And of course, we had guests galore, including my cool cousins for the fourth of July, and my high school bestie/college roomie, who brought her three grown children, three friends and three dogs, which was truly a triple trifecta.

Add running my business with piles of new projects and poof, suddenly it is fall.

Somehow I missed the month of August, and it was Labor Day before I knew it. Lucky for me September is my birth month, so I have been celebrating for weeks now.

I have been an endless summer girl for as long as I can remember; in my world, summer is not over until my birthday has passed, and that is not until mid-September.

But the changing of the seasons brings a bit of a blessing as an islander; seeing tourists migrate back to the mainland as we resume our slower more secluded lifestyles is rather refreshing.

Did you savor your summer? It is never too late.

Take some time for some fun in the sun, or whatever it is you enjoy.

Newsings & Musings 90th Birthday Party Do you want to know what 90 years old feels like? Well, I can tell you! It’s wonderful to be able to walk and talk and see people that I love and friends I haven’t met yet.

Edith and Stephen and their families hosted a birthday party for me on Saturday , September 16th, at Burgaw Presbyterian Church, from 2-4 p.m.

Edith and her family wouldn’t let me help. She said it was my party, and you’re not supposed to help at your own party, so I didn’t.

Yet it is perfectly acceptable to the crowd that has adopted the Hate America First attitude to insult the flag and the National Anthem. I don’t care if they want to insult the president, conservatives, liberals, moderates, RINOs, DINOs, aardvarks or polar bears. I might disagree with their tactics and language, but they have the right to do so.

Insulting the country that gives you the freedom to express yourself however, is a different story – especially in a venue where people have voluntarily paid their money to watch you play ball.

church was filled with wellwishers. I enjoyed seeing ev-

ery one of them, and appreciate so much my relatives and friends coming from distances as far away as New York and Louisiana.

My boss at the Pender Post, Andy Pettigrew, and his pretty wife, Katie, took many pictures at the party.

Delicious refreshments were served, and everyone enjoyed them. The serving table was covered with many layered cloths, including my favorite lace table cloth. Two of my mother’s silver candle sticks held white bur ning tapers.

One table was filled with

picture albums starting with my wedding to Arthur in 1951.

Another album had pictures of our 50th wedding anniversary.

Many of the guests in attendance enjoyed seeing earlier pictures of themselves.

I could feel Jesus’ presence at the party. I love Jesus and I know he loves all of us equally.

He will forgive all of our sins – past, present and future, if we ask him to. He has looked after me for 90 years, and I thank him every day for the blessings he has given me. May God bless each of you every day of your lives.

Shalom!

If someone doesn’t like a candidate or a political platform – especially someone with the resources of, say, a $1.627 million a year linebacker – then they have every right to use all their blood and treasure to oppose that candidate. I just think they should put all that money where their mouths are; you see, there’s a reason why football players who give back get so much publicity. It’s because they are becoming a rare breed. It’s much easier to come to the gates of your walled mansion, denounce social ills, then go back behind your gates to a party than it is to actually engage in meaningful dialogue or actually do something.

I don’t think the players should be using an entertainment venue like a football game to insult the country that has made them rich for playing a game.

Nor do I think the owners

of these teams – who are exponentially more wealthy because of their people who play a game – should have to tolerate anti-American behavior.

I didn’t particular agree with the president’s language the other day, although I did agree with his sentiment. And before you go off on Trump’s use of a cuss word, remember that we all hear much worse on the street and on television on daily basis. You can find plenty of times where every president back to Garfield said worse, in public. Indeed, you even hear such words and worse from NFL players, like the one who was videoed cursing and beating his girlfriend a few years ago.

But then again – I guess it’s okay to remain entrenched in that double standard, where the ones who recognize the meaning of America are silenced, those who protect us are vilified, and those who make mil-

lions of dollars can suddenly make people smarter and their opinions more valuable -- simply by playing a game.

Seriously, people?

Is this why the defenders of Fort McHenry kept the flag flying even in the face of certain death? Is this why millions of American men and women out their lives on hold to defeat Hitler and the Axis? Is this why people are willing to risk their lives and imprisonment to come here?

I repeat – I think it’s fine and dandy for anyone to express their opinion, no matter how much I disagree with it.

But it’s not fine and dandy when someone thinks they can slap America in the face simply because they happen to be really good at playing a game. I reckon this proves the double standard is alive and well – well-paid, that is..

I got a small wheel and kiln, built some tables in the garage and threw myself at making pottery, bowls at first, then mugs, and plates. I spent several years trying to

Sea Turtle Hospital News

By Karen Sota Sea Turtle Hospital Special to the Post & Voice Last year we ventured into some cutting edge treatment for our patients – cold laser therapy. Working with our turtle vet, Dr. Craig Harms as well as Dr. Tara Harrison at the N.C. State Vet School we identified several patients that we felt might benefit from the treatment, specifically Kemp’s “Maz” and loggerhead “Remora.”

For months they received laser therapy three times a week, gradually tapering off once their wounds improved to the point where the light had worked its magic and the healing was apparent. Maz, whose release was somewhat uncertain due to bone disease went home this year with the full use of her flippers.

Remora is still with us but is on “the list” once she grows a bit more scar tissue with scutes to cover the soft spots on her carapace.

Cold lasers deliver light energy units (in joules) to cells that need energy. But unlike the high-powered lasers used medically to cut and cauterize, the cold lasers only penetrate the surface of the skin with minimal heating of the area under treatment.

That’s a good thing when your patient is a sea turtle that’s very aware of and reacts to every little thing you’re doing to them. It’s an alternative treatment, like massage, acupuncture and PT and it doesn’t require any surgery or special drugs.

Many practitioners who have been using ultrasound and electrical stimulation are showing a growing interest in cold lasers.

There’s a bunch of science

behind this but basically the goal of laser therapy is to deliver light energy units from red and infrared laser radiation (photons) to damaged cells.

The consensus of experts is that these photons are absorbed by the cells and stimulate the mitochondria to help accelerate metabolic activity.

The biochemical increase in cell energy transforms live cells from a state of illness to a stable, healthy state.

Studies have shown that this form of treatment can promote faster healing, increase blood flow to effected areas, reduce scar tissue, stimulate nerve function and help with inflammation of joints. That checks a lot of the boxes at the turtle hospital.

With the success of our first two patients we’ve continued to use cold laser therapy on many more. Drs. Harms and Harrison write up the protocols and our staff has been trained in using the device properly. Currently we’ve begun treating Sunrise, Weasley and Flower who are on the initial treatment of three times a week.

This group of patients is being treated on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, so visitors passing by our Sea Turtle Sick Bay windows during Thursday and Saturday tours may get a chance to see

the exactly how it’s done.

The turtle will be relaxing on our exam table under the glow of blue and red pulsating lights and our staff will be fashionably attired in special dark glasses to prevent any eye damage.

We’ve moved to our fall Photo contributed and winter tour schedule and are open only on Thursdays Ryan Rocklein, an engineer with GE, helps with Lego robotics in Ms. Driscoll’s fourth and Saturdays from 1-4 p.m. grade class at Cape Fear Elementary School. through the end of the year.

Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for active military and seniors 65 and older and $3 for children 12 and younger.

The hospital is located at 302 Tortuga Lane in Surf City.

From N.C. 50/210 turn onto Charlie Medlin Dr. (your landmark is Shipwreck Point Mini Golf) and follow it through the roundabout onto Tortuga.

Our gift shop is always open during tours. Come in and meet our turtles and our staff; we’re fluent in sea turtle. As we move into the fall fishing season we’d like to remind all of you expert anglers that our turtles love fresh fish, especially blues.

So if you find yourself with more than you can use please give us a call (910-329-0222) and we’ll gladly take them off of your hands and make sure they do not go to waste.

Choice Bus coming to Pender High Oct. 3

There is a new addition at the back of Cape Fear Elementary School – a Little Library.

The Little Library is the Eagle Scout project of Justin Townsend. Justin is a former CFE student, current THS student, and the son of our CFES’s very own Lori Townsend.

Justin was at CFES to present his gift to the school Sept. 19, just before curriculum night. A good turnout of teachers, staff, parents and students turned out for the ribbon cutting ceremony. The idea behind a little library is that families will bring a book they are finished with, and then take a different book to enjoy. Justin has collected 2,000 books, so even if the bringing is less than the taking, we should be stocked for a while.

This is going to be a very good thing for families and CFES is very excited to add this great resource for our school community. Pictured above are Justin and his father Tim Townsend.

Freshmen at Pender High School will have an opportunity to engage in a program known as the Choice Bus experience Oct. 3.

The pro g ram has been made available through the Mattie C. Stewart Foundation, which was created to help educators, community leaders and other interested groups reduce the dropout rate and increase the graduation rate through the creation of relevant and effective tools and resources.

Communities in Schools of Cape Fear Pender County Program Manager Sally Fields said, “This is a unique opportunity that incorporates a lesson about making the right choices and implications of not doing so. The students will get to see what a real jail cell looks like with an on-site field trip.”

Students will be on campus participating in the tours throughout the day from 8:45 a.m. until 2:35 p.m. The Choice Bus will take students through a 25-minute interactive presentation, which is designed to help students see the relevance of education to career

replica of a prison cell will be revealed. The demonstration depicts how education (or a lack of it) is connected to making good or bad choices.

During the presentation, the Choice Bus staff will lead students in discussions about the importance of education, choosing friends wisely, avoiding gangs, being respectful to others and developing a career interest.

Students will learn several statistics about education.

One highlighted fact is that high school graduates earn more than high school dropouts. Another is that college graduates earn a million more dollars over their lifetime than high school dropouts.

Students will also learn that high school dropouts are more likely to spend time in prison than high school graduates, and that 75 percent of prisoners are high school dropouts.

The program targets students from sixth through tenth grades. A typical school day will allow about 350 students to experience the Choice Bus. Parents are also encouraged to accompany their chil-

Bill Howard Outdoors

By Bill Howard Post & Voice Columnist I have mentioned in this column many time about how my grandfather was quite the world-wide hunter. One of his first trophies that was returned was a mount of a Dall’s sheep he took in Alaska.

It was a beautiful specimen of an animal, in full body mount standing upon a casted rock base. Yes, this was museum quality and a fine initial addition to the trophy room.

As a kid, sometimes we do what kids do, which is not necessarily the smart thing to do. I was at his house looking through his World Book Encyclopedias for a school project; yes, we had actual books of encyclopedias back in the day, and each volume provided key information on the history and reality of the world.

Well, it turned out that the

mount was in the same room as the encyclopedias, and my attention was drawn to it. The pure white sheep’s shoulder stood about head high to me, counting the base of course.

The ribbed horns made a complete circle with a large thick base and a bristled point from a lifetime of wear.

The hair was a bit coarse, but manageable. Manageable enough for me to take the comb out of my pocket, yes I once had hair, and decide to tidy the great animal up a bit.

That is a mistake I never made again.

Papa later added a stone sheep to the collection, in al-

most identical mount. The two rams stood beside each other for many-a-years greeting anyone who visited the impressive menagerie.

I have always been in awe of the sheep. Their beauty, coupled with their difficult environment they called home made them particularly special. The tales of Papa’s hunts for them along with the imagery found on various hunting shows hosted by people such as Tred Barta helped me place myself in the midst of one of these great expeditions.

On a hunt for mountain lion in Arizona, I checked what other animals I may

about as far as I wanted to go, so last winter when it was to cold to be outside much, I got one and set to work, learning how to weave. Like all hobby crafts, it’s initially simple, but the complexity ratchets up pretty quickly when you consider patter ns and the thickness and density of the finished woven piece. Last winter I learned the basics, and this winter plan to learn more, going further and further along into a craft it could take a lifetime to master.

And then there was this: my friend Burt’s wife is one of my potter friends, and not only is her pottery on display around their house, but Burt’s wood turning projects. Burt showed me his lathe, and a little about turning and I put it on my ‘one of these days’ list.

And so it happened. I found a small tabletop wood lathe and set about learning how to use it. Then I started turning wooden bowls, and just like my adventures in pottery to answer the question, “just how many nearly identical coffee mugs do you need?” the question became, “just how many nearly identical wooden bowls do you need?” so I put that aside for a while and started carving small bowls out of some of the scraps, then carving spoons, than splitting

firewood and making larger spoons out of split firewood.

Idle time is dangerous, because you never know where it will take you, and I have a theory that, like and old car motor still running but with the occasional misfire and unidentified knocks and noises, the human brain, as the years go by, runs just as well as ever, but stuff just pops up once in a while that had been buried in a deep recess and flashed through as a bright idea from long ago, that merits another look now that ‘one of these days’ has arrived.

The number left of‘one of these days isn’t some vague abstract any more, they are individually numbered and the numbers are dwindling.

Most of my projects are self-limiting. I took up welding once, gas welding, and got pretty good with thin mild steel. And then I tried 4130 Chromoly tubing, used in aircraft, much more difficult, and aluminum? Forget it!

“Son,” my father asked one day, “when are you going to build that airplane you’ve always been talking about?”

By this time, age and experience took over.

“I don’t think I want to go flying in a learn how to weld project.”

Continued from page 4A the loops of the pegs and ran a loop end through it’s neighbors end all the way around and wound up with a pot holder. I think, at one time or another, every household in America had one or more in a kitchen drawer.

I was in Walmart one day, and there it was, the kit, only the loom part is plastic these days, so I made a couple of potholders. Normally, I drive the wagon-ride tractor at Poplar Grove Plantation, but in between rides would visit the weaver’s shop and remembered the looms there. On one of my visits to the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh I had visited a section of the gift shop that featured works made in Penland School of Crafts, and bought a small woven tapestry of repeating patterns. I hung it on the wall and one day, during idle time, thought, “I want to try weaving!”

Dreams achieved, dreams dashed. First, to satisfy this passing notion would require a loom of some sort, and there are many. A small tabletop loom looked like it would do for a place mat, which was

encounter, such as elk, mule deer, jackrabbits, and kit foxes. Sheep did not appear in my search. However, I only checked the area of the state I would be hunting, not the areas I would be traveling.

High upon on of the sheer cliffs, I believe I saw my first wild sheep. I would have to guess it would have been a desert bighorn sheep, but in retrospect with nearly a decade of memory reformation, it could have been a number of different species, and not necessarily a sheep.

That is why on a trip I am currently on, when the weather offered me delay and opportunity to visit a new place, I gained a little excitement.

On the first day, there were a multitude of animals spotted. Pronghorn antelope, prairie dogs, a lone coyote, and an ensemble of mule deer all greeted me at various locations. The land itself was a mixture of heaven and hell.

Ninety degrees plus temps with twenty plus miles-perhour winds and what felt like 110% humidity ensured only short stays were possible.

The landscape was rough and provided an other-worldly appearance.

But about midday, I encountered something I will always remember. I caught

As I rounded a small mount, maybe fifty-feet high which is small compared to the cliffs, I came face to face with a vision I had dreamed of in the past.

Titans and Patriots slug it out, Trask takes win

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer When watching television the commercial about UPS asks what can Brown do for you. With the Pender Patriot football team that question was asked often in their 14-6 loss to Trask on Friday night.

What Latrell Brown did was run roughshod over the Trask defense for 24 minutes. In fact he had 153 yards from scrimmage at the break. However, those yards only translated into one touchdown. The rest of the Patriots were held in check and when the Titan coaching staff made some adjustments at the half the Patriot offense sputtered.

The Titans led 7-6 at the half and added a touchdown in the second half to take a 14-6 win.

“We made some adjustments at halftime and they seemed to work,” said Trask Head Coach Johnathan Taylor.

“He’s (Brown) probably the best back we’ve faced this year. With a back like that, you have to contain him and I think we did a better job of that in the second half.”

The Pender game plan was evident early on as they fed the ball to Brown.

The Pats used an eight play drive to score early in the game. Brown carried the ball seven times for 89 yards on the drive finally punching it in from seven yards out early in the second quarter.

The extra point was botched leaving the

The Topsail football team’s 4-0 start heightened anticipation in Hampstead over recent weeks, at least until the Hoggard Vikings came to town and showed the Pirates and their faithful followers there is a significant difference between the likes of Trask, Pender, White Oak, and Dixon, and what lies ahead in the highly competitive – and perennially tough – Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference.

And folks, it wasn’t pretty!

Hoggard senior quarterback Josh Jones was 11-for-16 for 207 yards and two touchdowns, and the Viking defense shut down Pirate standout running back Noah LaValle (15 carries, 37 yards) and the entire Pirate offense (128 total yards), and the end result was a 41-0 Hoggard whitewashing of the Pirates in the conference opener for both teams.

Trask had several long drives in the first half but could not capitalize on those drives until midway through the second quarter. The Titans went 89 yards in five plays with B.J. Jordan as the primary weapon. The junior had 75 yards in the drive including a 26-yard jaunt that found the end zone. The Fernando Aldama extra point was true and

68, 74, and 85 yards while forcing Topsail (4-1) into threeand-outs on two of their five first-half tries. Two others would have been repeats but Hoggard penalties sustained the drives – both for just three plays and a punt. Topsail had 66 total yards at the intermission, and LaValle had five carries for four yards.

“We knew this, that their offense was good and they would exploit our weaknesses,” Topsail Coach Wayne Inman said. “But I thought we would be able to move the ball on them offensively. I think we got away from our game plan, and they would try to take No. 2 (LaValle) out of the game, and we let them.

“I felt like we should have just pounded the ball instead of trying to change our game plan. What they did defensively, and I’ll take the blame for that, is they put us in passing downs behind the chains, put us in third-and-long and we didn’t react to that and that’s my fault.”

In My Opinion

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer

The Lady Patriots picked up three wins last week, including to conference

kills.

A day later the Patriots traveled to Southwest Onslow.

Again the Lady Patriots earned a sweep. The scores were 25-19, 25-11 and 25-17.

Dupalevich had 13 assists, two aces and a dig while Jenna Harrell had five kills and three aces.

The Trask game was hotly contested from the beginning.

The first set was tied at 5-5 before the Lady Titans went on a 5-2 run. Trask played to their strengths in the set and kept the ball in play. That steady

I am not easily impressed when it comes to our counties fan base. I have written many times that our high school athletes deserve more attention from their fellow students as well as the community as a whole. Well, last week I covered the Trask at Pender volleyball match. I can honestly say that I was thoroughly impressed with what I saw from both the Pender and Trask fans.

The Pender fan base was out in force on this Thursday evening. The students were there and were boisterous but not obnoxious.

They cheered loudly on each Patriot point yet did not boo or get obnoxious when the Titans scored. I have not witnessed such a good crowd since the glory days of Pender volleyball.

The Lady Titan fans traveled well. There was a good sized contingent of Titan faithful on hand to witness what I consider to be the

most exciting volleyball match that I myself have witnessed in years.

It does not hurt that both Pender and Trask have pretty good teams this year.

Coach Matt Davis has a competitive team as usual and Coach Cathy Claris has done wonders with the Trask team. I was proud of what I witnessed.

The next night the Pender football team traveled to Trask and again the fans came out in force to witness a hard fought game. The Pender folk filled the visitor’s stands while the Trask faithful filled their side.

What was really impressive was that each side was well behaved.

I have been called a Trask homer for years. Both of my daughters graduated from Trask and I will not deny that I have a soft spot in my heart for the Rocky Point school. However, I am a fan of all three Pender County schools. I was very proud of the turnout as well as the attitude of each side.

Pender Principal Chris Madden has worked hard to elevate the Patriot athletic program as a whole. He has made every effort to give the kids the coaching and tools to be successful. Congratulations Mr. Madden. While the Patriot athletic department is still a work in progress, you guys are definitely on the right path.

Topsail quarterback Jacob Floyd couldn’t find much clear air above the Hoggard defence.

Pender makes move in Coastal 8 Conference When the Coastal 8 Conference slate started Pender Lady Patriot coach Matt Davis expected his team to show great improvement after playing the usual tough nonconference schedule.

That improvement happened last week as the Patriots earned three victories including two conference wins.

The final win of the week may be the biggest as the Pats beat a very good Trask team 3-1.

“Cathy has done a great job and Trask is much improved from the last time we saw them at the Ashley Jamboree,” said Davis. “They do a great job of keeping the ball up off the floor and those types of teams, WCA, Princeton, Dixon, have historically caused us trouble so to get a win against that style is a big boost of confidence for us moving forward.”

The Patriots opened the week with East Columbus.

The Lady Gators were no match for the Pats as the Pender team swept East 3-0.

The scores were 25-22, 25-13 and 25-13. Caroline Peterson had 12 assists while Ashley Dupalevich had 14 assists and two aces. Kam Thompson and Veronica Lewis each had six

play gave the visitors a 25-18 win and a 1-0 lead.

In game two the Lady Patriots came out on fire. They jumped out to a 4-0 lead and stretched that lead to 8-2 before the Titans settled down.

Pender maintained their advantage until the latter part of the match. A 6-2 Trask run tied the match at 22 apiece.

Pender outscored the Titans 3-1 to win the set and tie the score at 1-1.

Pender again jumped on the Titans in game three. The Pat lead reached 9-1 before the Titans fought back. Trask never led in the set and the Pats were up 2-1.

Game four was tied several times in the early going. Trask led 5-4 before a Pender rally

sent the Patriots into the lead.

The last tie was at 15-15 before the Patriots used a 10-6 run to take the win and the match.

“Across the board the girls played well,” said Davis. “It seemed we had a stretch in each game where they came back and made it close or took the lead from us, but there was always someone that stepped up to make a big hit or get a timely dig to stem their run.”

Kam Thompson had seven kills and four blocks while Caroline Peterson and Ashley Dupalevich combined for 21 assists.

The Patriots (7-7/4-3) was at Croatan on Tuesday. They hosted Union on Wednesday and was at Dixon on Thursday.

Lady Pirates show progress, wins still remain elusive

By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer It is sometimes hard to assess progress in a young team but, if last Tuesday’s loss to the Lady Buccaneers and a home match versus Hoggard Thursday are any indication, there was a modicum of progress showing for the Topsail volleyball team. It just has yet to show itself in

the win-loss column.

Laney came to Hampstead last Tuesday for the second go-around with the Lady Pirates, and the result was a second-consecutive 3-0 (5-21, 25-22, 25-18) win for the visitors in a Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference volleyball game.

The reason for a small dose

Continued on page 16A

The area high school soccer teams enjoyed some good weather last week with the exception of the Topsail kickers. They had their Thursday match postponed.

Speaking of Topsail soccer, the Pirates are still undefeated. My old pal Lee Wagner reports “Tuesday’s match in Hampstead produced a tough 4-3 overtime Pirates’ win over visiting Laney (5-7, 0-3) on the strength of a goal four minutes into the second overtime off the foot of Roberto Vasquez – his second goal of the game.

It was Topsail’s secondconsecutive victory over a Wilmington public school opponent, coming on the heels of the Prates’ 3-2 win over New Hanover last Thursday.

Trevor Coston and Blake Culig hit the back of the net along with the two scores from Vasquez, and Culig, Sam Hackett, and Sam Bell recorded assists.

Senior goalkeeper Jorge Lopez had a remarkable 16 saves for the Pirates (8-0, 2-0).

Thursday’s home game against Hoggard was postponed due to lightning. A make-up date has not yet been determined.”

Monday the Pirates welcomed South Brunswick to Hampstead for the makeup of a game previously postponed due to inclement weather. After Monday, the Pirates headed into Brunswick County where they face West Brunswick in Shallotte Tuesday, and will face South Brunswick in Boiling Spring Lakes Thursday. A thirdstraight game – this one at North Brunswick (Oct. 3) – completes the cycle.

The Heide Trask Titan kickers earned two Coastal 8 Conference wins last week.

They defeated Lejeune 9-0 behind a trio of strikers.

Sebastian Bautista had two goals and three assists while Bryen Woody and Chris Resendiz each had two goals.

Kevin Resendiz pitched a shutout in the net.

The Titans shut out East Carteret 4-0 to finish the week. Woody had three goals to pace the Rocky Point crew.

Resendiz again played well in goal.

The Titans (5-6-1/3-1) are tied for second place in the Coastal 8 Conference standings. They played at Dixon on Monday and hosted Croatan on Wednesday.

The Pender Patriot soccer team has fallen on some hard times. They lost two conference matches last week. They fell 11-2 to Richlands and 10-1 to first place Dixon. The Patriots (5-4/1-3) was at East Carteret on Monday.

Football Preview Week Seven

Trask and Pender home, Topsail at New Hanover

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer After a fierce battle between county rivals Trask and Pender last week, the teams will move further into their conference schedules.

Topsail will not catch a break after Hoggard last week – now facing New Hanover;.

Trask hosts Richlands The Richlands Wildcats come to Rocky Point on Friday night fresh off of a 52-0 thumping of Lejuene while the Titans edged a much improved Pender squad 14-6.

This is a game that may have major conference implications.

Richlands is over .500 for the first time since 2013. The primary reason for their apparent resurgence is the running game. Quarterback Matt Westlake and running back Emanuel Whitehead buoy an attack that averages almost 240 yards a game. While they pounded Lejuene, the Titans are a far cry from the winless Devil Pups.

The Titans ran for 236 yards against the Patriots.

They were led by an emerging star in B.J. Jordan. The standout running back had 176 yards and a touchdown and had an 80 yard run called back. The Titans have at least three backs that can hurt

you. The weak spot is their inexperience at the quarterback position. However, Jacob Johnson is showing some improvement.

Look for the Wildcats to try and open the field up with a pass or two early then try and pound the Titans with the run. One note of interest, the Titan defense seems to play its best football in the second half.

Trask will stick to its triple option offense. The Titans best play seems to be a quick pitch that goes inside the tackles. Jordan will eclipse the 100 yard mark and the Titan defense will turn the Wildcats over at least three times. The Titans will win their second consecutive conference game and fifth in a row since losing to Topsail in their opener. The score: 2712.

Pender hosts Lejuene The Patriots fell at Trask last Friday night despite playing one of their best games of the year. The teams lack of numbers seems to have bitten them once again.

Lejuene is struggling mightily. They are coming off of a 52-0 shellacking at the hands of Richlands. This is a game that the Patriots should win handily.

Latrell Brown ran for 198 yards against a pretty good

Trask defense. He has 658 yards in four games. The Pats were scheduled to finish the Union game early in the week.

Brown already had over 100 yards when that game was postponed in the second quarter. The senior standout may be the best back in the area counting all classifications.

Lejuene can’t stop anybody. They are giving up over 40 points a game. They have scored just two touchdowns all year. Enough said.

Brown was limping late in the Trask game. However, he could run for a buck fifty in this contest with one leg in a cast. Let’s say he goes for over 200 yards. In fact, if he goes for 150 against Union he has a chance to break the 1,000yard mark in just the sixth game of the year.

The Patriot defense is getting better each week. Coach Tim Smith has the kids playing hard. That is half the battle. When the dust settles and the lights are turned out the Patriots will have earned their first Coastal 8 Conference win of the year. The score: Pender 47-Lejuene 0.

Topsail at New Hanover The Topsail Pirate football team came tumbling back down to earth last week.

The Pirates came into their matchup with Hoggard with a 4-0 record. That all went

away when the Vikings had 488 yards of offense in beating the Hampstead crew 41-0.

While the Vikings are that good the Pirates are much better than that score would indicate.

New Hanover averages more than 40 points a game.

They throw the ball well and have a quality back in junior Jabez Howard. This is a talented Wildcat offense that can beat you in a variety of ways.

The vaunted Pirate running attack was held to 33 yards last week. That won’t happen against New Hanover.

Noah Lavalle and company may have gotten caught up in the moment last week. Coach Wayne Inman will not let that happen again.

The Pirate defense was manhandled last week. The Vikings exposed what many consider to be a suspect secondary that includes the linebackers. Inman and his coaching staff will work hard to find a solution. They need to hurry because Wildcat quarterback Blake Walsh can throw the football.

Inman was quoted as saying he got away from what the team does best last week, run the football. The Pirates will go back to Inman style football. Lavalle will rush for 100 yards and senior quarterback Jacob Floyd will have a good day against New Hanover.

While this game will not resemble the loss to Hoggard, the Pirate defense will struggle to keep the Wildcats out of the end zone. The Pirates fall for the second time in as many weeks. The score: New Hanover 42 – Topsail 20.

Topsail Sports Roundup

By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer It’s hard to say if winning is really contagious, but it appears a positive sampling of the Topsail fall sports’ teams are getting on board with that theory. However, the one thing that cannot be defeated is inclement weather – especially lightning – and that vicious stroke of Mother nature’s wand took out the complete Thursday outdoor schedule.

J. V. volleyball The young Topsail juniorvarsity team was missing standout freshman Izabella Sorace (concussion) in a 2-0 (22-25, 16-25) loss – their first of the season – at New Hanover.

One player doesn’t necessarily determine the outcome of a match, but Coach Tracey Shugarts and her team were happy to see Sorace back, and her return produced positive results, none bigger than Thursday’s win.

The Topsail girls went where no other Lady Pirate volleyball team has gone before with a hard-fought 2-1 (25-17, 18-25, 25-23) win over visiting Hoggard. It was the first win over a Lady Vikings’

Morales brings it home for the Trask Titans

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer When the Heide Trask Titan football team began official practice Aug. 1, there was one young man that stood off to the side he was a transfer from Texas that wanted to join in on the football festivities.

Dwight Morales eventually became eligible to join the Titans and has worked hard to fit in and become a productive member of the Titans.

Mr. Morales is a very strong young man with good footwork for an interior lineman.

He uses his strength and his low center of gravity to penetrate the offensive line and disrupt things.

Last week Dwight blocked a Pender punt giving the Titans good field position. He has made several important plays for the Titan defense this year.

The Trask football team is currently 4-1 headed into the meat of the schedule. Dwight Morales is one of the reasons for the Titans success.

team at the junior-varsity level in Shugart’s nine-year tenure and, as far as anyone could recall, ever – even at the varsity level.

Sorace had six kills and three blocks and classmate Aidan McGuire had four kills.

Sophomores Madison Lofton (six kills, three aces, block), Rachel; Hobson (six kills, block), Darby Lisk (five kills), and Lucy Nestor-Dowling (two kills, three aces) were instrumental in the victory.

Tuesday the Pirate girls got back on the winning path with a 2-0 (25-17, 25-19) win over visiting Laney – their second win over the Lady Buccaneers this year. They attempted to keep their winning ways going Tuesday at West Brunswick before heading to South Brunswick Thursday.

Cross-country The Topsail teams did extremely well at the Bo Run Saturday at Boyd Lee Park in Winterville – both individually and as teams.

Lady Titans beat Croatan, fall to Lady Patriots

By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer The Heide Trask Lady Titan volleyball team is relevant in the conference standings for the first time in recent memory. The Titans went into last week tied for second in the Coastal 8 with just one loss. Looming at the end of the week was an upstart Pender team that had won two matches early in the week and three of the last four matches that they had played.

The Lady Titans beat Croatan early in the week but fell at Pender on Thursday evening.

Pfaff is a winner for the Topsail tennis team

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer In the world of high school tennis you are defined by wins and losses. In most cases you are ranked by who you can beat in practice. For the Topsail Pirate ladies tennis team that can be a tough proposition.

Topsail’s number three player is junior standout Kasey Pfaff. She would probably be the number one player on most 3A teams However, the Pirates are loaded with talent.

Miss Pfaff has had a great season thus far. She is currently 12-2 in singles matches and 9-4 in doubles affairs. She is 21-4 overall and in position to make the state 3A individual tournament playoffs as a singles player and doubles player.

The Mid-eastern Conference is very tough. Miss Pfaff has been very good in conference play. Her record is indicative of just that.

There is no doubt that Kasey Pfaff is a winner for the Topsail Ladies tennis team.

In the Pender match the Titans propensity to start slow eventually caught up with them. After taking a 25-18 win in game one the Lady Titans seemed to lose focus. Pender jumped out to an 8-2 lead was

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

Pier fishing still good

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Fishing Fanatic The redfish are still hanging around Topsail Island.

They can be caught off of the beach as well as inland in the creeks and flats.

Most anglers are using cut baits off of the surf while the anglers fishing inland are using gulp baits as well as finger mullet.

The flatfish are biting in a lot of the same spots as the redfish are inland. Gulp baits and finger mullets will work here as well.

The pier anglers are catching a few pompano as well as a bluefish or two. My wife and I fished off of the Surf City pier last Friday and saw a few small flounder caught as well as a couple of real small cobia. The wife out fished me as is usually the case off of the pier. She caught a blue, a pompano and a few pinfish. One gentleman told me that he had caught a couple of nice red drum early that morning.

There has been a mixed bag of fish being caught off of the beach as well as the pier. Black Drum as well as some nice mullet and pom-

pano have been hooked on shrimp and cut baits.

The fresh water scene is kind of dicey right now with the high water levels. There have been a few cats caught on cut up eel as well as your favorite stink baits. The panfish will bite red worms and crickets.

This week’s fishing tip I remember fishing off of the pier as a young fellow.

My dad used to take us to the pier in Southport every fall for a day or two of spot fishing. There was nothing like getting into the spots when they were running. Catching two at a time on a bottom rig was as exciting as hooking a blue marlin. Those memories are something that I will never forget.

These days kids have video games to simulate almost everything. However, there is no video game that will simulate a kid catching a fish while hanging out with their mother, father or grandparents.

Load the fishing gear up and grab you kids, boy of girl and take them to the pier for a day of spot fishing. You will forge memories that will last a lifetime.

Top Performers

Blaze orange required for most hunts

By Jefferson Weaver Contributing Writer In North Carolina, hunters are required to wear a cap or hat of blaze orange color, or wear an outer garment such as a shirt or game vest in blaze orange that is visible from all sides, when hunting bear, deer, wild boar, rabbit, squirrel, grouse, pheasant or quail with a firearm.

A new law also requires that any hunter in the woods during a season requiring blaze orange wear the same

“It’s a good idea for anyone in the woods this time of year,” said Capt. Chris Huebner, hunting safety coordinator for the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission.

“Wearing blaze orange is a wise precaution for the outdoors through February. It alerts hunters to your presence and, in case of an injury, makes it easier for rescuers

to find you.”

Blaze orange, also known as hunter orange, safety orange, fluorescent orange or 10-mile cloth, is readily available in a variety of clothing, caps and hats, through sporting goods and hunting supply stores, as well as general retailers.

“It is essential for a hunter to be absolutely certain of their intended target, knowing what is behind the target and its surroundings,” Capt.

Huebner said. “Unlike your fellow hunters, everyone is

not required to wear blaze orange. You have to be sure before you shoot.”

Successful completion of Hunter Education, offered free by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission throughout the state, is required for all first-time hunting license buyers. Advanced courses are also available.

Topsail football Continued from page 8A

Jones threw the ball three times on Hoggard’s opening drive around three running plays that netted 20 yards.

His third pass was a 35-yard floater to Tre Houser for the first Viking score. A 10-yard run by Jones (three carries, 27 yards) made it 14-0 with 2:04 left in the first period.

A Jones-to-Chris Toudle 36-yard pass capped an eightplay, 85-yard drive, and a oneyard run by Kenneth Marshall (10 carries, 66 yards) to made it 27-0 (missed extra-point try) at halftime.

Hoggard’s Tre Houser returned the second-half kickoff 49 yards to midfield, and it took just one play – a 50-yard

Titan football

Continued from page 8A the second half came on its first possession of the third quarter. Brown and company started on the 40-yard line and moved the football to the Trask 14 yard line. A holding call along with an illegal block set the Pats back to the 41-yard line and the Burgaw squad was forced to punt.

Sophomore quarterback Jaheim McDuffie suffered an ankle injury in the third quarter and was helped from the field. He returned but was rendered ineffective due to mobility issues.

The Titan defense showed its worth late in the fourth

Lady Pirates

Continued from page 8A of optimism lies in the improvement of middle game (last time Laney (10-4, 5-2) won 25-22, 25-11, 25-22), and with the fact – even with the close scores – winning the match that first time never seemed to be really be in jeopardy for the Lady Buccaneers.

“It was much better, all around, then the first time but in that first game tonight we had six receive errors at the end when it counted most, and at a time when we had the lead,” Topsail Coach Hill Pearsall said. “In the second game we had some errors in there but it was okay, and in the third game it was also close but I think a lack of communication led to some letdowns.

“The girls are working hard, they haven’t given up their efforts in practices, and now we’re heading into the second time around and we need to get things corrected to make any kind of a run at the (NCHSAA 3A state) playoffs.

We are losing because of the intrinsic (basic and fundamental) things. They have to make better decisions on the court, and a good part of that has to do with so many young players (six juniors and five sophomores) out there most of the time.

“We’ve gone through three young setters in the last couple of weeks alone (due to injury) so it’s been hard establishing any consistency. But we’ll keep working to turn this thing around.”

It looked like there might have been a turnaround brewing in the first game of the night as the Lady Pirates forged a 15-7 advantage midway through the contest. Laney struck for three points around a pair of Topsail points, closing its deficit to 17-10.

That’s when Anna Morgan – one of six Laney seniors – stepped to the service line and led a Lady Buccaneer eight-

Lady Titans

Continued from page 9A on pace to easily defeat the Titans in game two. However, the Titans came stor ming back and eventually tied the game at 23-23. Pender took the last two points to take the set.

In game three the Titans again came out of the gate slow. The Pats had a 9-1 lead and never trailed in taking a 25-18 win.

Game four was close throughout the contest. The last tie was at 21-21. The Titans went on a 3-0 run to take

run on a jet sweep by Anthony Schiavone (his only carry of the game) to make it 33-0. Topsail actually forced a threeand-out on Hoggard’s next drive but the Vikings made up for it the next time they touched the ball by motoring 69 yards on 12 plays with John Bennett’s one-yard burst with 4:06 remaining in the game ending the scoring.

Topsail had an impressive drive going early in the third quarter as it moved from its own 31 to the Hoggard 13 where a fourth-down pass fell incomplete. They finished off the game with three more drives consisting of three, three-and-outs.

It certainly doesn’t get any easier for the Pirates this week as they travel to Wilmington’s Legion Stadiumm for a conference tilt with 5-0 New

Hanover. Wildcat junior quarterback Blake Walston had already thrown for 1,066 yards (63-for-118) and nine touchdowns, and the three-headed running trio of Jabez Howard (321 yards), Wiz Vaughn (218), and Meegan Canty (170) have rushed for a combined 709 yards.

New Hanover had scored 213 point (42.6 points-pergame) while giving up just 84 (16.4 per game against the likes of J. H. Rose (62-21), Northside-Jacksonville (34-6), Cape Fear (26-19), Gar ner Magnet (41-38), and South Brunswick (50-0).

“We’ ll regroup,” Inman said. “We have some kids that are a little beat up but we’ll try to get the best players on the field next week and try to prepare, and put in a good game plan, against New Hanover.”

quarter. The Pats had a fourth down on their own 14-yard line and elected to go for it.

Titan linebacker Gavin Longley sacked McDuffie back at the 10-yard line to end the drive and give the Titans great field position. Three plays later Trask quarterback Jacob Johnson took the ball up the middle from one yard out to give the Titans some working room.

Pe n d e r h a d o n e f i n a l chance and moved into Trask territory before a Tiyuan Ballard interception sealed the deal.

Jordan led the Titans with 176 yards rushing along with a touchdown while Johnson scored for the Titans as well.

Gavin Longley had two sacks late in the game to pace the

defense while Dwight Morales had a blocked punt.

Brown led the Patriots with 193 yards rushing including the touchdown. The Pats had 242 yards of total offense, just 71 yards in the second half.

Patriot head coach Tim Smith said his team’s failure to execute was the downfall.

“We just failed to execute when we had to. We played hard. We can’t let the result of this game determine our fates for the rest of the season.”

The Titans (4-1/1-0) will host Coastal 8 Conference foe Richlands on Friday night.

Pender (1-3/0-1) was scheduled to finish the Union game postponed early in the season Tuesday before hosting Lejuene Friday Night.

point charge that put her team in the lead at 21-17. Morgan had four aces, three in a row, around three unforced Topsail errors and a kill from Alexis Burris (eight kills, two aces, three digs). A kill by senior Sarah Shropshire (eight kills, five digs) ended the game.

The second game was tied eight times – last at 20-20 – before three unforced errors created a 23-20 hole in a threepoint loss. A tie at 9-9 was the Lady Pirates’ last hurrah in the third game as Laney runs of four, three, four, and four put the game out of reach, and the match in the Laney win column.

Two sophomores – Gia Marinelli and Makayla Weathers – provided hope for the future. Marinelli had five kills, two digs, a bock, and an assist, and Weathers racked up 14 assists, six aces, and four digs.

Junior Rena Marrotta came up with 14 digs.

Hoggard (10-8, 5-3) came to Hampstead Thursday and went back to Wilmington with a 3-0 (25-18, 25-17, 25-6) win over Topsail (6-8, 1-7). The Lady Pirates led throughout much of the first game before Hoggard tied the game at 13-13 in the midst of a 10-point surge that led to an 18-13 advantage. There were six unforced Topsail hitting errors (11 in the game). The Lady Pirates were outscored 25-5 down the stretch.

Topsail took an early 4-0 lead in game two only to see it dissipate into a 6-6 deadlock.

It was 13-13 before Hoggard slowly pulled away with a series of short runs while the best the Lady Pirates could pull off were four, single-point scores on their way to getting out-gunned 12-4.

The third game was over early when Hoggard forged a 9-2 lead and followed that up with a 10-point surge (five unforced Topsail errors) on their way to a 19-point drubbing.

“I tracked the first game and we were up 8-1 then there was a streak where we had three defensive errors that helped them catch up to us,”

Pearsall said. “I thought we blocked pretty well (five overall), they were significantly taller than we were, but there were times when they hit through our blocks. So we go on the road next week and play the 3A schools so what we need to do is go back to working hard in practice and see where that takes us.”

Marinelli led Topsail with four kills, and four blocks.

Marrotta had 17 digs and Weathers had 11 assists.

Topsail was at West Brunswick Tuesday, heads to South Brunswick Thursday, and to North Brunswick on Tuesday (Oct. 3). All three games are critical to the Lady Pirates’ NCHSAA 3A state playoff hopes.

an 18-15 lead midway through the set. The Trask lead was four at 21-17 before the Lady Pats went on an 8-0 run to take the game and the match.

Emily Thomas and Libby Smith each had six kills in the match.

“We came out flat after game one and lost game two,” said Claris. “The score was 24-24 and we lost that game. If we win that game its 2-0 and I think it would have been different. After that we lost the momentum.”

The Lady Titans (9-4/4-2) are at Southwest Onslow on Tuesday and Richlands on Thursday.

After nearly a year, Hurricane Matthew rebuilding continues

By Lori Kirkpatrick, Post & Voice Staff Writer

The Wilmington Baptist Association is continuing to help families in Pender County following the flooding that resulted from Hurricane Matthew last year. Although much work has been accomplished, there is much more ahead. The group is currently working with several families to help them get back into their homes. In order to complete the Black River rebuild project, more volunteers, funding and donations are still needed.

Burgaw Presbyterian Church and the Baptist Men’s Association recently held a fundraiser to benefit the residents along the Black River. The fundraising event included a pig pickin’ and a silent auction.

Volunteer Mike Moser said, “We had a good turnout and we raised a lot of money, but we’ve still got a long way to go. The auction netted a little more than $30,000,” said Mike Moser of the Wilmington Baptist Men’s Association Moser said that so far, two houses have been elevated and they have ordered new windows for both homes. The volunteer group is working on ordering doors and vinyl siding.

They are also getting to the point of working on electrical, plumbing and the HVAC in those homes. This work will be completed by licensed contractors since a building permit will be required.

“It won’t be volunteers doing that part of the work, so we couldn’t have done it without the money that has been raised.

We do have new roofs scheduled for both homes, and that will be done with volunteer labor. We will just have to buy the materials. That will be done by a group of about 10 or 15 that will be coming down from Pennsylvania. We continue to get volunteers from all over. They will be down here for a full week the latter part of October, which is cooler so it’s not a bad time to be putting on a roof. In addition to that, we have two more homes. We are going through the process of getting bids to elevate them,” said Moser.

The volunteer group recently acquired a building permit for another home in the same area. Moser said that they have only started the tear out process.

Another project at Bethlehem Baptist Church has recently passed inspection on the plumbing, electrical and the HVAC. They are now working on putting sheetrock back in the church.

“We are still going full speed ahead in Black River, but the Wilmington Baptist Association is also responding to Nederland, Texas and into the Keys in Florida. We have teams from our area that have already been deployed, and some are already back from being down there for a little while. We also have teams that are getting ready to go. So we just pray we don’t get any more storms, but we are working on all three of those. Busy times - we still need volunteers regardless of their training. Anybody can call the Wilmington Baptist Association and we will refer them to whoever is handling which particular disaster; but at Black River, we still expect that the work we’ve got will take us at least halfway through 2018,” said Moser.

Moser said that they don’t yet know the specifics about what they will be dealing with in Florida and Texas. They are currently in the beginning stages with tear out, feeding people, and lending a hand with whatever they can do to help. The tear out will take months, so it will be a while before they can begin any kind of rebuild.

To volunteer or to get more information, call Wilmington Baptist Association at (910) 799-1160 or look for Wilmington Baptist Association – Black River Rebuild on Facebook.

“THE CANADY MAN CAN”

686-9541

The son said to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I’m no longer worthy to be called your son.”

But the father told his slaves, “Quick! Bring out the best robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Then bring the fattened calf and slaughter it, and let’s celebrate with a feast.”

Luke 15:21-23 I’m certain that if you have attended church for any regular amount of time you have heard the story of the prodigal son taught. This parable, told

by Jesus, is a simple story of unending love.

After reading the parable you soon discover that it is not wrapped up in abstract concepts hard to understand. We all can envision ourselves as the young man coming home in disgrace to his father, who

receives him with open arms filled with total forgiveness.

We all probably need to take time each day to pause and remember how much our Father in Heaven really loves us.

Nothing we do can alienate us permanently from the love of God. No matter how despicable our actions, no matter how we deliberately withdraw ourselves from a relationship with God, no matter how bad we treat others; none of those things can ultimately separate us from the love of God. Through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, God is always willing to embrace us, if we will only remember to return to Him. Jesus vividly demonstrated this truth in His parable about a father who eagerly embraced his prodigal son. This dad welcomed his son in a spirit of forgiveness and love, not based on what the son might do to be reconciled, but based on the father’s unending grace.

Through faith in the Mes-

siah, we have this same relationship with God. We often may try to separate ourselves from the prodigal by thinking, “I haven’t demanded from my father that he give me my estate. I haven’t gone off and eaten with swine.” However these are merely details of the parable.

All of us tend to lust after material things, elevate ourselves over others, endanger ties of friendship or loyalty to get ahead in life, and forget the basic premises of Christian morality on which we have pledged to base our entire lives on.

God has given us the freedom to do so, just as the father in this famous parable gave his youngest son his freedom.

God allows us to decide how to use the inheritance given to us from Him. Unfortunately, we often use it badly. We fail to measure up to the perfect standards set for

us by our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Yet, despite it all, nothing we do can alienate us permanently from God’s love, who asks only that we return to Him. Often we sinfully forget that the door to the Father’s love is still open for us to enter in.

This week I encourage you to remember the words of the chairman of Ligonier Ministries, R.C. Sproul: We want to be saved from our misery, but not from our sin.

We want to sin without misery, just as the prodigal son wanted inheritance without the father.

The foremost spiritual law of the physical universe is that this hope can never be realized.

Sin always accompanies misery.

There is no victimless crime, and all creation is subject to decay because of humanity’s rebellion from God. If you find yourself in rebellion against God, repent and accept His forgiving love.

ican Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood to support cancer patients and others.

Mary Alice Donofrio gave blood for the first time in memory of her mother who received several blood transfusions while being treated for breast cancer. “I had no idea what to expect, but the experience was very easy and quite rewarding. Ever since then, I try and give blood as often as I can, and every time it gives me a good feeling in my heart. It is so nice to know that taking just an hour or so out of my day can help save the lives of others.”

According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 1.7 million new cases of cancer are expected in the U.S. this year.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, with nearly 253,000 women expected to be diagnosed in 2017. Cancer patients may need blood products during chemotherapy, surgery or treatment for complications.

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

October October 2017

The best fall color is pink It’s that time of year again when the temperatures begin to fall and there is a crispness in the air. Football lovers are gearing up to support their favorite teams and nature is beginning her display of those fabulous fall colors: red, orange, brown, and pink?

That’s right! Pink! October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. The iconic pink ribbons selected by the National Cancer Society to symbolize breast cancer awareness are everywhere!

Even your favorite NFL team will be proudly wearing Pink showing their support.

This October, Pender Adult Services is proud to participate in raising awareness about breast cancer. We are planning a Wear Pink Day Oct. 12. Please participate by wear pink any time during the month but especially Oct. 12.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer among women. In fact, one in eight women born today can expect to have breast cancer at some point in her life. While the statistics are scary, there is good news.

When detected early, the five-year survival rate is more than 98 percent. So what can you do? Begin today to develop an early detection plan. Your plan should include a discussion with your doctor about regular screening for breast

cancer.

Depending on your personal history and risk factors, your doctor may recommend annual mammograms and clinical breast exams. All women, beginning in their 20s, should examine their breasts monthly.

Monthly self-exams make you familiar with your breasts and what is normal for you.

This will help you detect changes early! s7HAT SHOULD YOU REPORT TO your doctor? s!NY LUMPS s 3 W E L L I N G A R O U N D T H E breasts, collarbone, or armpits s#HANGES IN THE SKIN ON the breasts such as dimpling or redness s"REAST WARMTH OR ITCHING s#HANGES IN THE NIPPLE s$ISCHARGE FROM THE NIPPLE s0AIN In addition to an early detection plan, the most important thing you can do to prevent breast cancer, or cancer of any kind, is to make healthy lifestyle choices: s-AINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT or lose weight if you need to s%XERCISE AT LEAST MINutes most days and stay active during the day s)NCREASE YOUR INTAKE OF fruits and vegetables s$O NOT SMOKE s,IMIT ALCOHOL So this October, enjoy the cooler weather, cheer for your

What a wonderful time to get out and walk. I hope that you have heard about out Arthritis Foundation Walk with Ease Program we are starting at Heritage Place. We will begin meeting Oct. 3 Tuesday and Thursday morning at 10 am.

The goal is to get you moving. If you suffer from arthritis there is research indicating that walking increases fluidity in the joints. The program contents are based on the latest research in exercise science, plus lots of hand-on, helpful suggestion from thousands of people both with and without arthritis, who have shared their experiences to help make walking work for them.

We will meet for nine weeks two times a week. The program encourages beginning with at least 10 minutes of walking three to five times a week. By the end of the program the goal is to be walking 45 minutes three to five times a week. If you were interested in joining us please call Jennifer Mathews at 259-9119 extension 303.

There are many upcoming activities for the month of October including a breastcancer awareness Wear Pink Day Oct. 12. We also have flu shot scheduled at both centers.

We are participating in a North Carolina Senior Center outcomes survey. If you were active at either of our centers please take five minutes to complete the survey.

The purpose of the survey is to help senior center to continue being funded. It is anonymous and confidential.

The results will be shared with our Representatives and also with senior centers.

We have just published a trip to Denver and Colorado Springs for August 2018. The six day/five night package includes airfare and motor coach transportation in Colorado.

The rocking chairs at Heritage Place are put to good use each day. After lunch it is standing room only as seniors sit and visit with each other.

The Retired Seniors Volunteer Program is anxiously awaiting our start dates to return to Pender County schools and begin working with students on reading skills. Reports last June showed increase in levels of reading when students had a one-onone Reading Buddy.

One elementary school showed a student way behind

reading level that grew nine levels by end of school year.

Another showed growth of six levels which brought student up to current grade levels.

At a recent training class volunteers shared positive experiences and the joy it brought them personally when a child responded to their help. Volunteers understand that every child learns differ-

ently and sometimes we need to discover what makes that child tick.

RSVP is fortunate to have three exceptional retired special education teachers that can assist us with new ideas and avenues to reach the child’s learning curve.

We are having a good time at Topsail with Senior Crafts started back again on Tuesday after a very informational sixweek nutrition class presented

by NC Cooperative Extension.

baskets taking shape again.

So if you are interested in basket weaving or chair caning, now is a good time to join.

Call us and make your flu shot appointment for Oct. 24.

Sore throat and runny nose are usually the first signs of a cold, followed by coughing and sneezing. Most people recover in about 7-10 days. You can help reduce your risk of getting a cold: wash your hands often and avoid touching your face with unwashed hands.

Most people get colds in the winter and spring, but it is possible to get a cold any time of the year. Symptoms usually include: sore throat, runny nose, coughing, sneezing, headaches, & body aches Most people recover within about 7-10 days. However, people with weakened immune systems, asthma, or respiratory conditions may develop serious illness, such as pneumonia.

contact with stool (poop) or respiratory secretions from an infected person. This can happen when you shake hands with someone who has a cold, or touch a doorknob that has viruses on it, then touch your eyes, mouth, or nose.

Medicare Open Enrollment Period October 15 – December 7 RALEIGH — Each year during the Open Enrollment Period, Medicare beneficiaries have the opportunity to compare and evaluate their current plans and make changes as necessary. By comparing plans during the Open Enrollment Period, Medicare beneficiaries can save money and make certain that their 2018 plan will be the best for their needs.

The Open Enrollment Period begins on Oct.15 and runs for 8 weeks to give you enough time to review and make changes to your Medicare coverage. All changes must be made by Dec. 7 to ensure that your coverage can begin without interruption on Jan.1.

“Comparing Part D plans annually is imperative to insuring that the Medicare beneficiary has the best coverage for their prescription needs,” said North Carolina Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey. “The staff from SHIIP, the Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program, are available to help over the phone or in-person in all 100 counties in North Carolina.”

SHIIP is a division of the North Carolina Department of Insurance and offers free, unbiased information about Medicare, Medicare prescription drug coverage, Medicare Advantage, long-term care insurance and other health insurance issues. In addition to helping Medicare beneficiaries compare and enroll in plans during the Open Enrollment Period, SHIIP counselors can help people find out if they are eligible for Medicare cost savings programs.

Here are some of the ways to review and compare plans available for 2018:
