The Media of Record for the People of Pender County Total of 13 accesses closed

Erosion forces closure of Surf City beach accesses By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher High astronomical tides due to the lunar cycle coupled with stormy weather over the weekend caused Surf City to close 13 of the town’s beach accesses due to erosion. High tides associated with the supermoon event along with a low pressure system that brought rain and wind to eastern Pender County caused the erosion. “We have some damage and we are still assessing the situation. We have about 13 beach accesses that we have closed due to the damage,” said Surf City Mayor Zander Guy. “We are still getting debris off the beach.” Guy says the Surf City town council will be consider-

ing the possibility of a sand push within the next 30 days to help repair some of the beach damage and reinforce the dune line. “We definitely felt the effects of the high tide,” Guy said. “The storms played a role, but the biggest problem was the high tide. It was extremely high. Guy said the heavy rain over the weekend caused some minor street flooding as well. The so-called supermoon is a full moon at its closest point in orbit around the earth. The closer the moon is to earth, the greater its gravitational pull. This usually results in tides that are several feet higher than normal. Damage from the high tide and rain was reported all along the North Carolina coast.

Health Department schedules flu clinics across Pender County From Staff Reports The Pender County Department of Health has released its flu clinic dates for the remainder of the year. Flu vaccinations will be available at the Health Department, 803 S. Walker St. in Burgaw every day Monday through Friday beginning Oct. 5 from 8:30-11:30 a.m. and 1:30-4:30 p.m. Vaccinations will also be available at the Pender County Government annex in Hampstead every Wednesday beginning Oct. 7. Vaccinations will be given from noon until 4 p.m. Be sure to bring insurance cards. For adults with no insurance, regular dose vaccinations are $35, the high dose is $55 for individuals 65 years-old and older. Vaccinations are free for uninsured children ages six months through 18 years-old.

Rain can’t stop the spots

Flu vaccinations will be offered at other locations in Pender County. See page 13A for a full listing of all Health Department flu clinics. According to the Centers for Disease Control, it’s not possible to predict what this flu season will be like. Flu seasons are unpredictable in a number of ways. While flu spreads every year, the timing, severity, and length of the season varies from one year to another. Most seasonal flu activity typically occurs between October and May. Flu activity most commonly peaks in the United States between December and February. The CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone six months of age and older as the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease.

Pender Relay for Life kickoff Saturday By Lori Kirkpatrick Post & Voice Staff Writer The 2016 Pender County Relay for Life Kickoff Celebration will take place Oct. 3. at the Surf City Community Center from 2-4 p.m. Information on how individuals and teams can be a part of Pender County’s 2016 Relay for Life will be provided.

Pender County officials say Miller’s Pond Park, located on U.S. 117 south near the N.E. Cape Fear River, will hopefully be open by the end of the week. The park, which was closed for renovations last year, will feature a number of new attractions and facilities, including restrooms and a picnic area.

goal for 2016 is to raise $40,000. The Pender County Relay’s chair for the year to come is Courtney Rooks, with Shannon Humphrey as co-chair. Tiffany Fountain represents both Pender and New Hanover Counties as the Community Manager for Relay for Life. Nearly all of us have been touched by the disease or know someone who has, and Shannon Humphrey is no exception. “I relay for the many people affected each and every day by cancer,” began Humphrey. “Cancer is a terrible disease that is not prejudiced to race, gender or economic status. Everyone in their lifetime will have a loved one that has to endure this awful disease. I am hopeful that one day, through research, a cure can be found. In 2009, I lost my best friend, my mother Mary Ann Briley, to breast cancer. My mother was the most

“There are still a few more things we will be doing this fall and winter, but that won’t keep us from opening the park this week,” said Pender County Manager Randall Woodruff. “Even with all the rain, we are ready to open with new restrooms, a water fountain, landscaping and a new sign. There have been a lot of nice improvements at the park and

I think people will really enjoy using that park.” The improvements at Miller’s Pond are not finished. “We are hoping to extend the pier further out into the lake. We ran into some issues trying to get a contractor to do the work,” Woodruff said. “Hopefully that project will be completed by the spring.

Rainbow preschool, after school, opens in Hampstead By Lori Kirkpatrick Post & Voice Staff Writer The doors will open at the Rainbow Garden Preschool and Dolphin After School Enrichment Program in Hampstead Oct 5, and a grand opening will be held Oct 7 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Registration forms are currently being accepted for both programs. The new facility will be a North Carolina licensed preschool and school-age care center operated by Cape Fear Child Development Center (CFCDC), a nonprofit organization. The after school program has been in operation for the past eight years in the three Topsail elementary schools. Licensed school age care will continue to be offered. Additionally, the new building will include a licensed preschool and a Pre-K program for four-year-olds. Director Steph Nestor is excited about the many possibilities the new facility will open up. “We are registering now for both programs. We’re trying to include the traditional, more academic side to prepare the children in the Pre-K program for kindergarten. The preschool will be sort of a mix between the traditional and Montessori and Waldorf type of philosophies. We plan to be really creative and artistic, not totally academic driven, but still preparing children for kindergarten. We want to have fun with lots of music and nature. We can walk around and look at trees and flowers and geese. We have all this land. We can do lots of gardening and growing, utilizing the land that we have and doing things outside,” said Nestor. The center is situated on 14 acres of land just off of Country Club Road. “We have more land to do alternative activities like play soccer, kickball, and volleyball. We are also going to have a basketball court. There are nature trails, and we have open areas where we can learn about the trees, other plants and the environment There is a wooded area of

land that hasn’t been cleared, and it feels like you’re going into the wilderness. We can do lots of ‘accidental learning’ without it being a science class or an art class,” said Nestor. The building houses an Art Room and a Rainbow Room to be used for preschool and also for kindergarten and first graders after school. There is a multipurpose room, where children can eat their snacks and do art projects. A deck to be utilized for a variety of activities and eating outside will provide additional space, as well. The center is planning for about 30 children in its after school program. Nestor said that there are pros and cons to moving to the new facility. “We wanted something smaller. We had much more space in the schools than we do here. But here we can do more activities with the space that we have that we couldn’t do before. Here we are able to do more involved art projects and art classes and other things, and we can save projects over a period of a couple of weeks when we need to. We couldn’t do that before because it was a cafeteria, and they had to use that space for other things. We are looking to do something higher quality with smaller numbers,” said Nestor. There will be three ladies helping with the after school program, and two with

the preschool program. There is a conference meeting room that can be used for occupational therapists, counselors or tutors that might come in. The center is considering having art classes and other activities in the evenings as well. Nestor plans to gather input from parents about their interests. She wants the center to be user friendly. According to the CFCDC website, the philosophy of the preschool program will focus on nurturing the whole child through life experience, nature, science, arts and play. Through daily routine and work cycles, the goal is for each child to become prepared for kindergarten and beyond. The Montessori and Waldorf ideals to be incorporated center around respect for the child as an individual, spiritual, creative being. Both emphasize the importance of the natural environment and the needs of the child, believing that this will lead to meeting the needs of society as a whole. Both schools of thought incorporate a variety of art, music, dance, and theater at all ages. The plan is to blend these teaching philosophies with a more traditional approach to learning. Preschool hours will be from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., and the kids will bring their own lunch. The center will be a peanutfree zone to avoid any complications for those children who may have peanut allergies. The After School program will include a nutritious snack each day and an art room with daily and weekly classes. Individual and group activities will be provided, and there will be time to complete homework with assistance. Outside play and adventures will be highlighted, and transportation will be provided for after school program participants from the Topsail elementary schools. For more information or to register your child for the preschool program or the after school enrichment program, visit capefearchild.org or call Steph Nestor at (910) 233-8594.

On Island Time

Examine the state bond A bond referendum set for a vote next year could be a boon to infrastructure as well as schools, but the proponents need to realize the voters aren’t quite as backward as some bureaucrats and solons might like to think. The $2.5 billion referendum has been touted somewhat disingenuously as an ”education” bond referendum, since no one wants to be accused of voting against funding schools. In reality, only a portion – albeit, a significant portion – of the bonds would be used for public school construction and upgrades. Systems would We sincerely hope that have the option of pursuing new construction with a lothis bond issue, if it’s cal match, or rehabilitating passed, won’t be frittered older structures with no local away on replacement projobligation. ects like teapot museums Of more or at least equal and roads to nowhere. importance is additional We need fewer projects funding for highway projects designed to win reelec(which we desperately need tion, and more projects in Pender) and infrastructure to get our state educated, upgrades that can produce jobs as well as attract new mobile and prepared for a business. better tomorrow. The bond referendum has been approved by the General Assembly for next year, during the national elections, thus ensuring turnout should be strong, even if interest is lacking. The governor’s idea of holding the referendum this fall smacked of an end run, since it’s a municipal election year, and some precincts would have had to hold – and pay for – an election that many would never attend. Putting the measure on the ballot next year is a much better plan, since it will give proponents and opponents alike the chance to explain what safeguards will be in place, and why this is or is not a good plan. Our state has had a bad habit of spending money willy-nilly on pet projects in the past. We sincerely hope that this bond issue, if it’s passed, won’t be frittered away on replacement projects like teapot museums and roads to nowhere. We need fewer projects designed to win reelection, and more projects to get our state educated, mobile and prepared for a better tomorrow. Take the time to research and study the hundred-plus projects spotlighted in the referendum proposal. Ask yourself if the authors of the bond measure have been good stewards, and if the people who will be responsible for spending your bond money have a history of properly handling the public trust. Remember – you, the taxpayer, are responsible for repaying these bonds. You have a say in whether or not our state borrows this money, and you have a responsibility to make your voice heard either way.

D & D Glass restores clear vision

Bill Messer Debbie and Dan Bossio own and operate D&D Glass Company. Dan works fulltime as a Captain with the New Hanover County Fire Department, and helps his son Zack in the glass shop on his days off. In the earlier article, Debbie and Dan told me about the business, and what they do. This time Dan and Zack show me how they make an insulated glass panel. “Here’s Zack. What he’s doing now,” Dan explained, “is getting this machine ready to polish glass, a piece of quarter inch plate, and to put that nice edge around the outside for tabletops. We put the glass on it and it goes through here,” and Dan bends over to show me the wheel the glass edge passes over on its way down the track. The wheel has diamond abrasive in the groove around the rim. “Zack’s adding some solution, we call it the antifreeze because of the

color.” The grinding wheel runs in a stream of circulating coolant to keep it cool and flush away the grindings. I asked Zack, “How did you get into the glass business? Did you follow your dad?” “I came home from college in 2011/12, and they already had the business started. Ferrum College in Rocky Mount, Virginia, Business Administration. I came home and went straight into the glass business.” “This is a piece of 1/8 inch glass.” He laid it carefully on the carpeted table. “Your work surface has got to be flat, and the carpet we use is tight, and we always makes sure the carpet is clean before we put any glass down. “The glass cutters are diamond tipped.” Zack hold it up and shows me the wheel, “It’s the thing that cuts the glass. You can buy the throwaway kind but they will only work for a certain amount of time before you have to throw them away. The kind that we use, I’ve had this one since 2012.” Zack is going to demonstrate how the cutter works, and he reaches across the table for a yellow wax marking pencil and a triangle square.

Relocation helps for seniors Dear Savvy Senior, I need to find some help with selling my elderly mother’s house – where she’s lived for almost 50 years – and relocating her to an apartment or condo closer to where I live. Can you recommend any businesses or services that specialize in helping seniors relocate? Overwhelmed Daughter Dear Overwhelmed, The process of selling a house and moving to a new home, or downsizing to a condo, apartment or senior housing facility is a big job for anyone. But it can be especially overwhelming for seniors who are moving from a long time residence filled with decade’s worth of stuff and a lifetime of memories. Fortunately, there are several specialized services available today that can help make your mom’s move a lot easier. Real estate specialist To get help selling your mom’s home and/or finding her a new one, you should look into hiring a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) or a Certified Senior Housing Professional (CSHP). These are realtors that have received special training, making them better equipped to help seniors and their family members through the financial and often complex emotional issues that can come with selling a long time family home and relocating. SRES and CSHP designees are educated and knowledgeable in such areas as

All of our cutting is done by hand. The big manufacturers have machines, laser cutters controlled by computers. “When I cut, I put the tip of the cutter on the mark, and then move the triangle over to it. I do that top and bottom, and when you cut, you hold the glass cutter just like you do a pencil, and bring it to your body. Start over the edge,” Zack says, and shows how the cutter wheel is on the glass but beyond the edge, “you push down some, and you bring it to your body.” Zack pulls the cutter towards him and a satisfying, uninterrupted squeal/ scratch sound indicates a continuous score. “You can feel it with your fingernail. When we break it, we use the thumb and finger,” and Zack holds the glass up a little so I can see it. He holds his hand in a loose fist, with the glass between thumb and forefinger, on each side of the score, and as he applies just a little pressure, “Snap!” and the glass separates cleanly into two pieces. “Beautiful!” I exclaim, caught up in the moment. I’ve tried this before. Once

downsizing, aging-in-place, senior housing options, reverse mortgages, as well as ways to use pensions, 401k accounts and IRAs in real estate transactions. And, if you need help from other professionals, a SRES and CSHP can put you in touch with qualified home inspectors, movers, attorneys, CPAs and other experts. To learn more or to locate a professional in your area, contact the SRES Council (sres.org, 800-500-4564) which also offers a free “Moving On” guide that help seniors and their family members with the decisions and transitions that come with moving. And to find a CSHP see SeniorsRealEstateInstitute. com. Moving manager To help your mom get packed up and move, you should consider hiring a “senior move manager.” These are organizers who assist older people with the challenges of relocating, and can minimize the stress of this major transition by doing most of the work for you. They can help your mom pare down her belongings, decide what to take and what to dispose of, recommend charities for donations and help sell her unwanted items. They also get estimates from moving companies, oversee the movers, ar range the in a while it works, but more often, the break is incomplete and I have to use pliers to nibble away at the ragged edge. I remember, I think, that my cutter was given to me many years earlier, and rusty. “When we cut ¼ inch glass, we use use pliers for the break.” Zack reaches for a piece of ¼ inch thick glass and lays it on the table, and hold up the pliers, special for this type of work. “See the tip,” he says, and moves the hinged jaw back and forth through its range of motion, just enough to seat square on the glass. The jaw is flat but with a shallow angle, similar the the bend angle Zack demonstrated when he snapped the thinner glass. “And this part moves,” Zack said as he works the lower jaw, which I would describe as a fulcrum, the part that applies pressure beneath the scratch line. “You do the same with ¼ plate as you do with any other glass, you line it up to the mark and bring it to you with the same pressure as the other glass. “The pliers has a mark on top, that’s where the mark goes, and you just squeeze,” and once again, “Snap” and the glass falls into two pieces. “What’s your favorite part of the glass business?” I asked. “I’d say, mine’d be makin’ the windows. It’s not the easiest. It’s time consuming . . .” “What’s you favorite kind of window to make?” I asked, and was surprised at the answer.

move date, supervise the packing and unpacking, have the house cleaned and just about anything you need related to her move. Costs vary depending on the services and size of the move, but you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $5,000, not including the cost of movers. To locate a senior move manager visit the National Association of Senior Move Managers website at nasmm. org or call 877-606-2766. You can also search at Caring Transitions (caringtransitions.com), the largest senior relocation and transition services franchised company in the U.S. But, before you hire one, be sure you ask for references from previous clients and check them. Also find out how many moves they have actually managed, and get a written list of services and fees. And make sure they’re insured and bonded. If you can’t find a senior move manager in your area, another option is to hire a certified professional organizer who specializes in downsizing and relocating. To find one, check the National Association of Professional Organizers who has a searchable database on their website at napo.net. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

“They’re all the same, a piece of glass, a space bar filled with silica desiccant, another piece of glass, and sealed with ‘buter’ all around,” and like his dad and John Kennedy, butyl comes our ‘buter’ as Cuba comes out ‘Cuber’. The butyl is hot black rubber extruded from a big machine in which blocks of solid rubber go in, get heated enough to melt, and squeezed out in a bead to run around and fill the gap between the spacer and the outer edge of the glass, forming an air tight seal about ¼ in thick. “This here is our buter machine, the top one. It comes in these black blocks,” he says and shows me an opened box with a brick of solid rubber. Right then, Dan walks up to the table, carrying a broken window panel. “What we’re doin’, we’re going to disassemble the frame and reuse it. Dan shows me the broken window, with a badly bent item in between pieces of glass. “This is a grille, a GBTG, grille between the glass. You use a putty knife to remove the stop.” Zack comes over and takes the knife from Dan, and in his practiced hands lifts the edge of the stop and pulls it out. “Here, put your gloves on,” cautions Dan. The risk of a slash cut is real. Zack quickly removes the other stops and runs a knife around the outer edges of the framed panel to release the

Lady Titans break streak, beat Pender By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Heide Trask Titans have had very successful teams in the past. However, one thing that the Titans have never done is beat the Pender Patriots. That particular accomplishment can be scratched off of the Titans bucket list as they defeated the Patriots in four sets. The scores were 24-26. 25-11, 25-22 and 25-15. Pender has several players nursing injuries including all-conference player

Imani Newkirk. However, the Patriots won the first set before the Titans reeled off three straight wins. Junior Samantha Long led the Titans with nine kills while Brittany Foy tallied 25 digs. Emily Oyler had 15 digs for the Titans. Early in the week the Titans traveled to West Bladen to take on the Lady Knights. The surging Lady Titans earned a 3-2 win, taking the rubber game of the match with a 15-11 victory. The scores were 13-25, 25-15, 25021, 18-25 and 15-11. Tiara Mitchell led the Titans with 10

kills while Oyler added nine. Foy had 13 digs to pace the Titans. The Titans played Clinton in the middle match of the week, falling to the 2A Dark Horses 3-0. The scores were 25-9, 25-18 and 25-10. Taylor Osgood led the Titans with 10 digs in the match. The Titans have won three of their last five matches and have moved their conference record to 3-4. Their overall record stands at 3-10. They hosted Wallace-Rose Hill on Tuesday before traveling to Union on Thursday.

Strong Laney second half sinks Pirates By Lee Wagner Contributing Sports Writer During the course of the first 30 minutes of the MidEastern 3A/4A Conference opener for the football teams from visiting Topsail and host Laney High Schools, the 3A Pirates from Hampstead gave the 4A Buccaneers all they could handle. The scoreboard read 3-0 in favor of Laney on the strength of a 29-yard field goal by the Buccaneers outstanding senior kicker Hayden Watkins. The teams were so close over the first two quarters Topsail had 63 yards on the ground and 14 in the air while recording five first downs. Laney had 72 yards rushing and nine yards passing. Take off a six-yard sack, the Buccaneers had accumulated a total of 75 offensive yards with four first downs– the Pirates had 77. Unfortunately for the Pirates, the game is 60 minutes long and Laney controlled the ball for 20:55 minutes of the second half while running up 346 total yards to just 67 for Topsail.

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer There are games on a football teams schedule that a coach circles. Then there are games that a coach grimaces when he looks at. The Pender Patriot coaching staff had to be grimacing as they looked at last week’s match up with a very talented Clinton Dark Horse team. The Pats were coming off of a 44-0 loss to Trinity Christian and were looking down the barrel of a loaded weapon. The Dark Horses did not disappoint as they used a potent running game that racked up 455 yards to run over the Patriots 64-13. The Patriots made the trip to Clinton a day earlier as the powers that be decided to move the game up a day to beat the rainy weather forecasted

in the area. The first half was played under overcast skies but no rain fell. However, the second half was played in a steady drizzle. The contest started with the Dark Horses marching down the field. Clinton found themselves inside the Patriot 10-yard line. On second down the Dark Horses ran a sweep that ended with the football on the ground. The Patriots recovered on the one yard line. Three plays netted a yard and the Pats lined up to kick. The snap sailed over punter Matthew Ezzell’s head and out of the endzone, giving the Dark Horses a 2-0 lead with just under nine minutes to play in the first quarter. That was the first of two safeties that Pender would endure

Laney senior running back Imeek Watkins rushed for 156 yards on 27 carries and scored twice, junior quarterback Trevon Greene gained 55 yards and scored once, and senior Jamius Beckett put the icing on the cake with a 44-yard scoring run with 24.9 seconds left in the game as Laney defeated Topsail 31-0 on Monday in the game which was postponed Friday due to inclement weather.

preaches to his girls that they absolutely must defend their home court in conference matches, and you need to gain at least a split on the road in order to be successful. So far, the Lady Pirates have done well at home, defeating Laney, South Brunswick, and Ashley in Hampstead, but it has been on the road where they have struggled – falling to West Brunswick, New Hanover, and Hoggard. The second half of MidEastern 3A/4A Conference play began on the road on Thursday at Laney and, as all conference matches seem to be this year, it wasn’t easy but there was finally a breakthrough in the Lady Pirates’ road woes –and it was a big one. Junior Victoria Elder led the offense with 11 kills and blocked five shots on defense, senior Payton Schoenleber recorded eight kills and added 28 assists, 10 digs, and a pair of blocks, senior Madi Ford matched Elder with 11 kills

and added two blocks and 13 digs, senior Marlee Marotta had 17 service points and 28 digs, and junior Makenna Preville had eight points, eight digs, and a kill as Topsail came from behind twice to beat Laney 3-2 (23-25, 2517, 17-25, 18-16) in a match up teams that entered the night tied in the conference with 3-3 records. “When you play five you always have a chance,” Pearsall said. “I told the girls before the final game we were playing the sixth game, not the fifth, because we won all the even games. It came down to who made the most errors, really. “We hadn’t won any road games in conference and that’s something we talked about. Next week is our big week because we have both the 3A schools (South and West Brunswick), and those are the ones we really need (for the NCHSAA 3A playoff run).” The errors haunted Topsail (8-6, 4-3) in the first game (9 unforced errors), which was tied seven times, and third

There are many inspiring stories about athletes that overcame obstacles to become successful athletes and people in general. Some of those athletes overcame physical disabilities that seemed to be impossible to overcome. I know literally hundreds of coaches. One of the things that most of them teach is that to be successful you have to work hard and overcome many types of adversities. It is often said that your life is one percent what happens to you and 99 percent how you handle it. I once read a story about a young man that overcame a severe physical disability to become a major league baseball player. I would like to share a little bit about this man. Dave Clark was born in Corning New York. As an infant, Dave contracted polio. It stunted his growth and left him without the full use of his legs. But despite that, perhaps because of it, he was driven to excel in physical competition against so-called able-bodied people. Dave Clark did not let his physical disability stop him from recognizing his dream and working toward it. He never gave up on his dream. He played little league baseball and eventually made it to the major leagues. He signed a major league contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates organization in 1972 and graduated college. Mr. Clark eventually pitched for the semi-pro

team the Indianapolis Clowns. In 1975 he was named Fireman of the Year as the top relief pitcher for the Indianapolis Clowns. He eventually became the owner of the Clowns. He has worked with the USA Olympic team and was a pitching coach for the Atlanta Braves in 1999. Dave is currently a motivational speaker, envoy coach for Major League Baseball International, and radio analyst for the Florida Everblades. He has been successful despite having what many people call a handicap. For those that know Dave Clark they will tell you that he is not handicapped. He has learned how to handle adversity. Jim Abbott was another athlete that learned how to handle adversity through a physical handicap. Abbott was born without a right hand. He played 10 seasons in Major League Ball from 1989 to 1999. While with the University of Michigan, Abbott won the James E. Sullivan Award as the nation’s best amateur athlete in 1987 and won a gold medal in the demonstration event at the 1988 Summer Olympics. He was drafted in the first round of the 1988 Draft and reached the major leagues the next year. As a member of the New York Yankees he threw a no-hitter. Abbott retired with a career record of 87 wins and 108 losses and a 4.25 earned run average. Adversity can be a deterrent or a reason to motivate. When I hear a coach tell a kid that they need to work through an injury or a bad outing it makes me think about these successful athletes. It also makes me think about the lessons that young people can learn through athletics. If Dave Clark can pitch in the major leagues while standing on the mound on crutches, then playing high school sports should be very obtainable for most any athlete.

Kicker’s Corner By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Trask soccer team has made huge strides this year under the direction of first year coach Jason Hall. Last week the Titans won two Four County Conference matches to raise their record to 5-4-2. The Titans traveled to West Bladen early in the week and promptly slammed the home team 10-3. The match was tied 2-2 at the half before the Titans went on an 8-1 run in the final 40 minutes. Sebastian Bautista scored five goals to lead the Titans while freshman Ricardo Botello added two goals. Blake Joyce had five saves. Next up was a home match with East Bladen. The Titans used a good game by Joyce in the net along with two goals by sophomore David Romero to take a 2-0 win. Joyce had

nine saves in the game in preserving the shutout. The Titans were at Midway on Tuesday before hosting Clinton on Wednesday. Pender split two conference matches last week. The Patriots traveled to East Bladen early in the week and came away with a 2-1 win. The game was tied at 1-1 when the Patriots scored the winning game in the 70th minute. The Patriots dropped a tough 1-0 match at home verse West Bladen. Pender played at Wallace – Rose Hill on Wednesday. The Topsail Pirates woes continued last week. The Pirates fell to 0-5-2 overall and 0-3 in the conference with a 3-0 loss to Laney despite seven saves in goal by senior goalkeeper Tyler Davis. Topsail was at South Brunswick on Monday and plays West Brunswick at home today at 6:30 p.m.

Lady Patriots drop conference matches By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Pender Patriot volleyball team’s woes continued last week as they lost two Four County Conference matches including a rare loss at home to the Trask Titans. The Patriots began the week visiting a much improved Wallace-Rose Hill team. The Bulldogs used a powerful rotation to sweep

the Patriots 3-0. The scores were 25-14, 25-21 and 25-15. Next up was a non-conference affair with New Hanover at their place. The 4A Wildcats took a 3-0 win. The scores were 25-16, 25-12 and 25-5. The Trask Titans came to the battleground looking for their second conference win of the week. The Rocky Point crew had never beaten the

Football Preview

Pender teams return to home fields By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer After a week on the road, all three Pender County teams return to their home fields this Friday night.

Topsail hosts West Brunswick Both of these teams played Monday night. The Pirates played at Laney while West Brunswick hosted Ashley. The Topsail Pirate football team is better than their last two games. The Pirates have a good offensive line and a couple of playmakers in the backfield. They have been a victim of their own mistakes. Jacob Floyd is one of the better young quarterbacks in the league. He has a good feel for the game and rarely makes bad decisions. He can throw the football which makes the Pirate running game that much better. Freshman D.J. Montano is a star in the making. He has been banged up as of late but should be getting healthy. He is the Pirates playmaker. Fullback Drew Gaithers is another back that can tote the pigskin. Topsail has enough runners to move the ball. They just need to limit the mistakes. Defensively, the Pirates have struggled to stop the run. The Mid-Eastern Conference is not very forgiving when it comes to defensive deficiencies. The Pirates need to fix their run defense in a hurry or it could be a long season. Look for the Pirates to try and establish the run early. Assuming the Pirates come out of the Laney game healthy, this should happen. Montano and company will move the

ball against the Trojans. Coach Wayne Inman is a three yards and a cloud of dust type of coach but he is not opposed to throwing the ball every now and then. Floyd may get the chance to air it out. Hunter Potts is a very good receiver and should be targeted. The Pirate defense will find its rhythm early and hold the Trojans to a respectable number. Topsail cannot win a shootout. This needs to be a grind it out type of game. This is a game that the Pirates need to win desperately. Both are 3A teams in the split MEC. The Pirates win a close one. The score. 33-26.

Pender hosts Midway The Pender Patriots are coming off of a 64-13 loss to a very strong Clinton Dark Horse team that is ranked high in the 2A ranks. The Raiders were 4-0 going into their conference opener with the ranked East Bladen Eagles. Pender’s woes begin up front where an undersized and thin offensive line has struggled to keep their opponents out of the backfield. The Patriots have a couple of playmakers in Justin Hooper and Latrell Brown. However, they have been marginally effective because of the struggles up front. I think it may be time to go to the shotgun formation. Patriot quarterback Jake Rawls is getting hit before he can hand the ball off. Rawls is as tough as they come but he has taken a beating as the Pats opponents are shooting the A gaps and finding themselves in the Pender back-

field. Hooper is one of the better backs in the conference and needs just a bit of daylight to be successful. He has rarely found that daylight this season. Fullback Chris Devane may be an option. He runs hard and could soften up the defense. Defensively, the Pats simply can’t stop the run. Clinton ran for 455 yards while Trinity moved the ball on the ground and through the air. Coach Bob Via knows the Pats have trouble tackling and he and his staff has worked diligently to correct that problem. Pender needs to get the ball in Hooper’s hands. He is their best football player and can spring one at any time. The offensive line just needs to hold their blocks for a split second and let Rawls get the ball in his hands. The Raiders have a lot of weapons. The Patriot defense needs a stop or two early to build their confidence. This unit has shown flashes of being pretty good. They need to limit the big plays and play smart. There are no easy games in the Four County Conference. With the likes of East Bladen, Wallace and Clinton on the schedule, young teams like Pender will take their lumps. The mission should be getting better each week.

Trask hosts Union The Union Spartans are one of several teams that had to reschedule last week’s game to Monday evening while the Titans played a very good Wallace-Rose Hill

team last Thursday night. The Titans lost to Wallace 62-19. Despite the lopsided score the Pender County team did have their moments. Trask cannot let the Wallace game define their season. The Spartans hang their hat on their defense. They have held two opponents scoreless this year and their only loss going into Monday nights game was a 7-0 defeat to 4-2 Lakewood. The Titans are still struggling to find a rhythm in the running game. The offensive line will have their hands full again this week with a Spartan defense that pitched two shutouts in a row going into Monday night. The Sparts held Jones Senior to minus15 yards rushing for the game. Steven Jordan and company will need to establish the run early on so that sophomore quarterback Tyrease Armstrong can get things going in the passing game. Armstrong had some good moments against Wallace and has several weapons on the outside. Defensively, the Titans will be glad to know that this is not Wallace. The Spartans are no more than an average offensive team. They have struggled to run the ball this year. Kansas Bannerman and company should have a good game. Look for the Titans to try and get senior Tynaffitt Davis involved. He is the Titans best playmaker. Armstrong needs to make good decisions with the ball. If he can get the ball into Davis and company’s hands good things will happen. The trio of Jordan, Armstrong and Davis will give the Spartan defense fits. This is a very important game for Trask. A win here will do wonders for the confidence of a team that is better than its 1-4 record would indicate. Trask will win this game in a mild upset. The score: 25-19.

Topsail Sports Roundup By Lee Wagner Contributing Sports Writer The Topsail boys’ crosscountry team did well at the East Carolina University Pirate Invitational on Saturday with a fourth-place finish out of 21 teams, and the girls’ golf team stayed steady with a fifth-place finish out of seven teams in a Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference affair as the fall scholastic season continues. Cross-country The Pirate boys scored 116 points, finishing fourth behind Holy Springs (54), Middle Creek (88), and Swansboro (111). Conference foe Ashley was sixth (201). Chad Campbell had an outstanding day with a second-place finish, covering the Lake Kristi (Greenville) course in

Oyler a talented young spiker for the Lady Titans By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer When the Trask Titan volleyball team takes the floor there are quite a few studentathletes that can be described as superb athletes. The team is on the rise. There improvement can be attributed to several things. Among those things is the emergence of several young players. Among those players is sophomore standout Emily Oyler. The energetic young lady is becoming one of those players that can be found diving on the floor to return a spike as well as dishing out a kill. She is developing a reputation of being a clutch player for the young Trask Titan volleyballers. Miss Oyler is a very good student with a flair for the big play. She should be the center piece of a young Titan team on the rise. With two years to go Emily Oyler is on pace to become a great volleyball player for the Titans.

16:35.27, just under 11 seconds behind Holly Springs’ winner Jack Cawley (16:24.92). Domenick Dibiase (17:51.62) was 18th overall.

Girls’ golf The Lady Pirates finished fifth in the team scoring on Monday at St. James Plantation with a 327 behind Laney (268), Ashley (274), South Brunswick (279), and Hoggard (303), and ahead of West Brunswick (330) and New Hanover (367).

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer When a high school soccer team takes to the pitch there are many things that have to be done for it to be successful. One of the things that has to happen is that there must be a man in the net that has the ability to at least slow the other team down. At Topsail High school that person is senior Tyler Davis. Mr. Davis is charged with playing the goal in a tough Mid-Eastern Conference that has at least three teams capable of going deep into the playoffs. The Pirates have struggled out of the gate this season. Although they are winless on the year Davis has more than held his own in the net. As the season progresses the Pirates will get better. Throughout all of the struggles Tyler Davis has stood tall in the net for the Pirate kickers.

Pender County’s Most Comprehensive Fishing Report

Reds still hanging around By Bobby Norris 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 flat fish 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 starting to see some spots show up as well. Bloodworms and shrimp will work for these tasty little fighters. 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 pompano have been hooked on shrimp and cut baits. The freshwater 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 or girl and take them to the pier for a day of spot fishing. You will forge memories that will last a lifetime.

Post & Voice Top Performers By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The rainy weather has wreaked havoc on the high school sports schedule. However, there was some action in the county and beyond. The Trask Titan football team fell at Wallace – Rose Hill despite a pick six by Johnathan Jordan. Tynaffitt Davis threw a touchdown pass and ran for one for Trask. The Titan soccer team won two Four County Conference matches last week. Sebastian Bautista had five goals in one match while Ricardo Botello added two goals. David Romero scored two goals in a win. Keeper Blake Joyce logged two wins including a shutout. The Topsail soccer team fell to Laney last week despite seven saves in goal by senior goalkeeper Tyler Davis. Topsail’s Lucy Marcum had a good week on the cross country course. She finished 24th out of 242 female runners in one match while finishing fifth in another contest. Chad Campbell had an outstanding week with a second-place finish at the East

Pender Continued from page 8A Patriots. That record fell as the surging Titans won three straight sets after dropping the first set to take a 3-1 win. The scores were 26-24, 11-25, 22-25 and 15-25. The young Patriot squad has battled injuries this year

Norris is a gamer for the Pender Patriots By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Last spring the Pender Patriot baseball team needed someone to step up and pitch against the Pats chief rival the Trask Titans. Coach Robbie Futch chose a freshman by the name of Chase Norris. The young man pitched a great game as the Pats won on Trask’s home field. The seasons have changed and Norris is a sophomore on the Patriots football team. He is charged with being junior quarterback Jake Rawls back up. That is a tall order for a sophomore with limited experience in a Conference that is loaded with the likes of East Bladen, Clinton and WallaceRose Hill. If the chips fall and the Patriots call on the super sophomore there is no doubt that he will be ready willing and able to step up to the challenge. There is no doubt that Chase Norris is definitely a gamer for the Pender Patriot football team.

Carolina University Pirate Invitational as well as a second place in the MEC meet. The Topsail volleyball team ended an away slide that saw them unable to win on the road in the MEC with a win over Laney. Junior Victoria Elder led the offense with 11 kills and five blocks on defense, senior Payton Schoenleber recorded eight kills and added 28 assists, 10 digs, and a pair of blocks, senior Madi Ford matched Elder with 11 kills and added two blocks and 13 digs while senior Marlee Marotta had 17 service points and 28 digs in the match. Senior Haley Woods had seven kills, three digs, and a block in an early week win over West Brunswick. The Trask volleyball team beat Pender for the first time in school history. Brittany Foy tallied 25 digs while Emily Oyler had 15 digs for the Titans. Samantha Long came back from an illness to lead the Titans with nine kills in the match. This week’s top performer is Titan soccer player Sebastian Bautista. He had five goals in one game. including standout Imani Newkirk. They have dropped three in a row and four of their last five. They are 2-13 overall and 2-5 in Four County Conference play. Pender resumed conference play on Tuesday with a home match with Clinton before traveling to Midway to engage the Lady Raiders.

In the second game the Lady Pirates started well but a couple of mistakes allowed Laney (10-6, 3-4) to tie things at 5-5. A visibly upset Pearsall called an immediate time out. “We had worked on something for probably half an hour the day before and I saw it a little bit in the first game and we started out making the same error in the second game so I had to let them know we needed to get it fixed immediately,” Pearsall said. “It seemed to have a positive effect as Topsail went on a five-point run, two kills by Elder highlighting the surge,

After Watkins hit his field goal in the second quarter (after 25 scoreless minutes), the Pirates got a good kickoff retur n from senior Grant McCoy and moved from the Laney 44-yard line to the eightyard line where they had a first-and-goal. Freshman D. J. Montano (24 carries, 99 rushing yards) gained three yards up the middle. Montano attempted to go around the left side but Laney sniffed it out and the play loss five yards.

return. The score read 37-7 at the half. Clinton opened the second half with a drive that was capped off with a 32-yard run. With the score 44-7 the Dark Horses retired their first team offense for the night. Clinton scored three more times in the contest while Pender added

ing the Titans their first score of the night. The extra point was good and the Titans were within two touchdowns of the Bulldogs. Wallace bounced back and scored on their next four possessions to take a 49-7 lead into the break. The Bulldogs went to their second string late in the contest and cruised to the win.

Trask scored twice in the second half. Tynaffitt Davis found Zenas Ward for a long touchdown pass that covered 65 yards for the first score with Davis scrambling for the final score on the last play of the game. Trask finished the night with 171 yards passing and 99 yards rushing. Davis was 2-for-5 with 121 yards through

and never trailed in a sevenpoint win. The third game featured seven ties with Laney getting the win on an unforced Topsail error. From a 10-10 tie, Topsail took control of the fourth game with a five-point burst, putting it out of reach with a six-pointer that produced a 21-15 advantage. The 15-point fifth game was tied six times, the last at 16-16, before a kill by Angelica Biele and an Elder slam set off a wild Topsail celebration. “I was basically thinking we really needed to beat Laney or else our ego was going to go downhill,” Elder said. “We’ve lost the past couple of games and we needed this win to boost our confidence. “As for the inconsistency, I think we get into our own heads so we get down on ourselves when we make mis-

takes, then we find ourselves in a position where we need to battle back. It’s a good sign now that the underclassmen (Preville, Selena and Angelica Biele, Azia Anderson, Shania Eckhardt) are getting better and helping our seniors. I really feel, if we keep this momentum, we’ll be unstoppable. Monday the Lady Pirates secured their easiest win of the season, a 3-0 (25-14, 25-17, 25-12) non-conference victory over visiting White Oak. The opening game featured a pair of early ties at 1-1 and 2-2 but Topsail jumped out to a 5-2 lead and never looked back in recording an easy 14-point win. Offensively, senior Haley Woods had four first-game kills on her way to a total of seven kills, three digs, and a block.

Gonzales but it went wide right, and a key opportunity was lost. “Not scoring on that drive really hurt,” Inman said. “We called a play and tried to get outside on them (on first-andgoal from the five-yard line) and probably shouldn’t have done it, and that’s my fault. I made a bad call and we should have run our inside zone play or a dive play two times and scored, and we would up in a third-and-10 situation. Laney received the secondhalf kickoff and, after two balls kicked out of bounds, got a 53-yard kickoff return from freshman Sharod Sidbury that put them at the Pirates’ 30-yard line. Five plays later, Watkins scored for a 10-0 Laney lead. “The kickoff return set the

pace for it,” Iman said. “We have a young kicker who never kicked before and he hit it out of bounds twice and our kids ran down twice, and the third time their kid got a nice runback and put them deep in our territory and they scored. “We had a chance after that but we came out and ran three plays and they wound up scoring again and then, I think, our kids didn’t know how to handle it. I think our problem here is they don’t know how to handle adversity and we have to learn how to do that. When things go bad you have to work to change it and not accept it and our kids accepted it.” The two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties aided Laney on its way to another score, and the late 44-yard scamper resulted in the final tally.

Old River Farms By Tammy Proctor, Pender County Tourism Director, Special to the Post & Voice

Old River Far ms is growing a fall crop of old-fashioned family fun. Located at 8711 Old River Rd., Old River Far ms will harvest more than a pumpkin patch and mums. This fall the farm will feature a haunted barn, hayrides, and a cor n maze. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are growing and expanding,â&#x20AC;? said Michael Lanier. Old River Farms offers a bumper crop of goodness year round â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from plants, beef, and educational field trips to entertainment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We opened to the public four years ago with educational field trips,â&#x20AC;? said Casey Glover, who mana g es the g arden center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom saw the need for educational field trips,â&#x20AC;? said Michael. â&#x20AC;&#x153; T h e f i e l d t r i p s offer a unique curriculum. We teach farm elements and an appreciation of the family farm. The kids have an absolute blast.â&#x20AC;? O l d River Farms is a family farm. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandparents, Admah and Mabelle Lanier, purchased the farm back in the 1960s. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents are Dean and Susan Lanier. Susan, a school teacher at Rocky Point, understood what was needed to meet common core standards. The educational programs are designed primarily for pre-kindergarten through fifth g rade. But Michael said often itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the parentchaperones who have to be dragged away from class. Charlie Baker, a retired science teacher with more than 37 years of experience, works with the field trips. The topics covered in the

classes include a study on the characteristics of animals and what makes them alike and different from other animals and nonliving things. Children connect plants to products, such as a peanut plant to the finished product. They explore far m structure, g rowth and chang es. Chang es are nothing new to Old River Farms. Down through the years, Old River Farms has seen change. Parcels have been sold to make room for housing developments, including Morgan Cove. The 450 acre family farm has grown from row crops to agri-tourism. This fall, Old River Farms

will host several weekends of family entertainment, including a cor n maze, a pumpkin patch, a haunted bar n and more. The corn maze, in the design of the Old River Farm logo, is open through Oct. 30, Tuesdays through Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $5 per adult. Admission for children under the age of 12 is $3. Children 6 years and younger are admitted free with an adult. On Oct. 25, 6 p.m., the farm will host the Rural Academy Theatre. This one-night only performance features a horse-pulled tour of musicians, sculptors and dancers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one night and they come in with horses

Looking forward to seeing you there Louise Riggs, Wanda Harris, Sharon Blake, Evonne Smith & Miss Jimmie and buggies,â&#x20AC;? said Michael. On Nov. 7, Old River Farms will host Fenders on the Farm Car Show with music, local foods, and craft beer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sell beef here,â&#x20AC;? added Mi chael. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It goes fast. We recommend preordering.â&#x20AC;? T h e O l d R ive r Farms beef is popular because there are no added growth hormones or antibiotics. â&#x20AC;&#x153; O u r cattle are h e a l t h y, â&#x20AC;? he added. The cattle are fed sorghum. The Garden Center is open and offers a wide variety of healthy plants. The center lists available plants on the website www. oldriverf ar msnc.com. Year round, the farm grows plants in the greenhouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have mums and winter annuals,â&#x20AC;? said Casey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have two new greenhouses,â&#x20AC;? added Michael. The greenhouses will feature poinsettia a n d o t h e r p l a n t s. P l u s, the greenhouses are perfect field trip classrooms. The far m also hosts weddings, bir thday parties, and church picnics.

Come to me all you who are weak and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Matthew 11: 28 There is a gentleness in Jesus, a gentleness that puts a new face on God. There is a gentleness in Jesus that speaks of peace and calm. Jesus had his moments, a hard side, a prophetic side â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like when he turned over the tables of the money changers in the Temple. Or the time he called the religious elite white-washed tombs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; bright and shiny on the outside but inwardly dead and accused the Pharisees of being â&#x20AC;&#x153;hypocritesâ&#x20AC;? saying one thing and doing another. Jesus could be direct, blunt you might say. But he had a gentle side and if you read the gospel very closely I think you will find the gentle side predominates. Jesus was a nurturer, a care-giver, a healer. He sought out the wounded and the broken to make them whole. Come unto me you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest, for I am lowly and gentle of heart, my yoke sets easy and I will make your burdens light. Jesus comes to ease life not make it harder. He comes to lift our burdens, to mend and make whole. Come you weary, you heavy laden, you who need rest. Come and I will lift your burden, ease your weariness,

give you rest, Jesus said. The passage is an invitation to broken people, wounded people, bleeding people, burdened people to come to be healed, to come and be made whole. And Jesus has given that ministry to us, the ministry of nurturing, of giving care, of restoration of healing souls. I want you to think today about the church as a healing place, as a hospital of the body and soul. Everyone here knows what it is to be wounded, hurt, weighed down with concern, some with big wounds and some with small, some with heavy burdens and some less stressful. Everyone here knows what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to be weary with life struggles and life fears. Everyone here needs some kind of healing. As John Shea, the storyteller and theologian once said, Every time you read a story in the Bible about healing, what you should ask is â&#x20AC;&#x153;where am I wounded and how is Jesus Healing me.â&#x20AC;? We all need healing of one kind or another and the church is a healing place, the community of Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; people, reflecting in their life together the healing ministry of Jesus. That is after all who the church strives to be â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; people carrying on Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ministry As I have indicated earlier, the church is a launchpad, a place to be sent out from and before you can be sent you must be filled up. The church

the weak places and restore meaning and purpose in the lives of people. We offer and encourage Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goodness in all. The church is, the church can be like a hospital where the sinsick and the world-weary find rest, where the broken hearted and those broken in spirit find restoration and wholeness. It is what Jesus means for us to do, what Jesus means for us to become â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a place of healing for those within and those without. Jesus calls us to His ministry of healing by sharing his kind of love.

is a filling station, too, a place to be equipped, prepared, directed. But before we can be filled up, we must be healed, Healed in our brokenness. Before we can be trained and equipped and sent, we must be made whole. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t send a broken rocket into space on a mission and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t send a wounded person out to help others. First we must be made whole, here in this place. And how do we do that? We share hope and practice grace. We show mercy and dispense forgiveness. We strengthen

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month By Jennifer Mathews Pender Adult Services Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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.

By Kay Stanley Topsail Senior Center Fall is here and we have some changes in times for some of the classes and activities. We are trying to add more when we receive enough interest to warrantĂ¸adding new classes.Ă¸ Peggy Casey is in full swing with her basket weavers. We have had some record numbers in the Geri-fit class and everybody keeps coming out smiling.Ă¸ We all miss Kathy Y. who is recovering from hip surgery.Ă¸ Knowing Kathy, she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be out long. The woodcarvers are meeting on Wednesday mornings,

and the knitters areĂ¸ here on Wednesday afternoons.Ă¸ The Topsail crafters are producing some amazing projects.Ă¸ Debbie Lamphere is supplying us with ideas andĂ¸she and her sister provide much of the materials needed to complete our projects.Ă¸ Also the Cape Fear occupational therapy students are so helpful and enthusiastic with our crafts and fellowship.Ă¸ We enjoy their input. Ă¸ We have upcoming flu shots Oct. 13 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. provided by the Pender County Health Department.Ă¸ The Canasta Wedneseday afternoon group has grown

for many years. Since there are so many people in the Burgaw area that live alone, someone checking in was a main focus of a small group of 2-3 volunteers. The past few months the Retired Senior Volunteer program (RSVP) took a closer look at this program and realized that there are many homebound seniors throughout Pender County that need a check in telephone call.

and still welcome newcomers to join their fun.Ă¸ Also, on Thursday mornings, we need more cribbage players.Ă¸ Line dancing is on Fridays at 11 a.m. and we have hadĂ¸ a nice group and they all leave out very happy with their accomplishments.Ă¸ Sheryl isĂ¸ a grand teacher.Ă¸ Hospice is housing a special grief series led by Greg Yeager on Fridays from noon until 2 p.m. and that series By Jennifer Mathews started Sept. 18.Ă¸ The next Pender Adult Services caregiverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support meeting is Oct. 23.Ă¸ We welcome new Seniors are living longer faces and new ideas.Ă¸Ă¸Ă¸Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and celebrating birthdays. what we are here for.Ă¸ Miss Unez celebrated her 95th at Heritage Place this past month.

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. What should you report to your doctor?

Our Meals-on-Wheels Seniors do not have delivery on Friday, which means no one checking on them that day from our Center â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perfect day to receive a phone call. It is a proven fact that socialization relieves depression and a simple telephone call can be such added joy to our seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day. In addition, the telephone call assures the senior is safe and all is well. This past June RSVP started a new Call Care program and eight volunteers are assigned telephone calls to make two times a week. It is inevitable that friendships and trust

are already forming from our recent calls. If you would like to be on our call list to receive a check in call, please contact our RSVP office and we will take the necessary info to include you in this program. We are also hoping to recruit more RSVP volunteers to help with telephone calls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the more volunteers we have the more calls that we can make. Time is flexible and calls can be made from your own home or from our RSVP station. If you are interested in volunteering contact me at 910-259-9119 (ext 329).

Medicare Prescription Drug (Part D) plan program offers plan members the ability to make changes in their coverage each year during the annual election period, Oct. 15-Dec. 7, and plans will be effective Jan. 1, 2016. All people with Medicare can see what new benefits Medicare has to offer and make changes to their coverage during this time. A beneficiary should not assume that a plan that met

their needs in 2015 will do the same in 2016. Part D plans contract on a yearly basis with the Medicare program. This allows for changes in formulary lists (the prescription medications covered by the plan), restriction and limitation requirements, monthly premium payments, and pharmacy co-payments for any medication each year.

Tanger. That is scheduled for Dec. 8 and will cost $25 for the chartered bus. If you have ideas for day trips, give me a call and we can consider it.

The Health Department will be providing them throughout the season at their building but they are offering community clinics too. Please see the related article.
