Surf City board stands by decision on police chief

Fall Festival Fun

Residents show up in support of former Chief Mike Halstead

By Barbara Hazle Contributing Writer Emotions ran high at the Oct. 6 Surf City Town Council meeting. In a standing room only meeting, the agenda included general business but supporters of former Police Chief Mike Halstead anticipated having their say during the public forum. Chief Halstead was retired Sept. 15 during a closed emergency session with the town council after a he posted an “Open letter from a Police Chief ” on his personal Facebook page Sept 3. His comments about the organization Black Lives Matter and the use of the term “thug” as well as comments on how he instructed his department in Surf City to act, went viral globally and evoked comment and attention from multiple media outlets as well as the North Carolina Chapter of the NAACP.

Pender Relay for Life kickoff rescheduled for Saturday The Pender County Relay for Life Kickoff Celebration has been rescheduled for Oct. 17.

Halstead retired with 60 days of severance pay effective after exhausting his vacation time. With a police presence both outside and inside the Surf City Town Hall, the Council did not mingle prior to the meeting and once seated, quickly moved through the agenda items. Halstead was the first person to speak during the public forum. “I have no ill will toward any of you. I would like to thank everyone who is here in support of me tonight, and the more than two million supporters across the world. I was not ever given disciplinary action in my 17 years of service to this town, yet I was thrown out like a sack of trash,” Halstead said. “You say my post was unbecoming conduct as a police chief. No sir it was not. My post was exactly what was

at the kickoff. Anyone who is interested is invited to join in the event and “Rock thru’ the Decades,” 70’s fashion. The community voted on the relay theme, and each scheduled event will depict a different decade. For the kickoff, participants are encouraged to wear their favorite 70’s attire. Communities everywhere come together each year at Relay for Life events to honor cancer survivors and remember loved ones who lost their lives to the disease. The Relay

website states that the funds collected make a considerable difference in the fight against cancer, with an estimated 14 million cancer survivors celebrating another birthday this year. Pender County’s goal for the upcoming year is to bring in $40,000. Guest speakers will include Mayor Zander Guy from Surf City and Mayor Howard Braxton from Topsail Beach will be guest speakers at the kickoff. Door prizes will in-

Surf City board hears report on storm damage By Barbara Hazle Contributing Writer The Surf City Town Council expressed their appreciation for all the hard work of Dean Wise and the public works department during the recent heavy rains and storms in our area at the board’s Oct. 6 meeting. “I know the utility department has worked day and night the last five days,” Councilman Doug Medlin said to loud applause. “Seems like every time I went by

I saw all of them. I don’t know when they slept, maybe on a cot leaned up next to the plant.

I do want to mention council has been diligent contacting various agencies on behalf of the town. Our beaches are in bad shape, we’ve closed many of the beach accesses,

and it’s not that we don’t want you on the beach, it’s for everyone’s safety,” said Guy. Town manager Larry Bergman said about 20 beach access locations are closed, many due to stairs and ramps that have been destroyed by high tides.

Willard Outreach to hold fundraiser Nov. 1 By Lori Kirkpatrick Post & Voice Staff Writer Willard Outreach Community Center will hold a fundraiser Nov. 1 as part of an ongoing effort to preserve three historic Rosenwald school buildings in Pender County. Funds raised will benefit the Watha, Union Chapel and Lee Rosenwald schools. A film will be featured and hot dogs will be sold during the event. Donations of $5 per adult and $1 per child are suggested. The event will be from 3-4:30 p.m. Carrie Mae: An American Life is a film that was written and directed by Claudia Stack, of Rocky Point, last year. The documentary features the life of Carrie Mae Sharpless Newkirk, who attended and taught in Rosenwald schools. African American communities helped build these schools during the segregation era. Stack worked in education for 22 years, and has worked diligently to document and preserve Rosenwald schools. She directed and produced the award-winning independent documentary Under the Kudzu, which traces the history of two typical Rosenwald schools. She is currently working on a film that documents the experiences of families who were involved in sharecropping during the segregation era. “I believe it’s important for teachers and students to know that African Americans sacrificed for and shaped

Historic schools could also be a draw for future tourism. Rosenwald schools in particular have gained national attention

over the past decade.” The Nov. 1 benefit is the first screening in Pender County of Stack’s Car rie Mae documentary, which premiered at the Cameron Art Museum last year. Clifton West Sr. has recently taken on the role of President for the Willard Outreach Organization. He grew up in Willard as his father

did, and his mother was a part of the organization when it began. He is looking forward to bringing the community together for the upcoming benefit, as well as for future planning for the outreach center. “We have a new sense of motivation and energy here,” said West. “We want this building to be something the community can be proud of. We are working together as one team with one agenda. The Outreach Center is open to all races and genders, and that’s what this outreach center represents. We are reaching out to other communities more and more, and we hope to bring other communities here from northern Pender County for the fundraiser in November.” West hopes to bring new programs to the center in the near future, including youth after school and enrichment programs, teen mentor, financial literacy and VA assistance programs. Willard Outreach Center is located at 9955 N.C. Hwy. 11 in Willard. Donations for the restoration of the Union Chapel and Lee schools may be made to Historic Wilmington Foundation, 2011 Market Street, Wilmington N.C. 28403. Donations for the Watha school may be made to the Willard Outreach Organization at 9955 N.C. Hwy. 11, Willard, NC 28478. Please make a notation that the funds should be directed to the Rosenwald schools.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month By Elisabeth Almekinder, RN Pender County Health Department Special to the Post & Voice According to North Carolina’s State Center for Health statistics, 9,772 women in North Carolina will be diagnosed with and 1,391 will die of breast cancer in 2015. It is more important than ever that we spread the message that early detection and prompt treatment of breast cancer saves lives. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), dedicated to increasing awareness about the importance of early detection of breast cancer, celebrating the lives of the many women who survived, and remembering those lost.

You heard the word NAACP and you panicked, and made a bad decision.” Halstead requested immediate reinstatement so that he could retire “with the grace and dignity that I deserve,” he said, “before this ends up in court.” Citizens for and against the councils’ decision then took to the floor. “You put your business on Facebook, it’s the world’s business, you say things that hurt people, it’s everywhere. Black lives matter? They all matter and it’s embarrassing when you are in a leadership position and you say things that are derogatory. And it’s wrong,” said Randall Worthington of Surf City. “Serving as an elected official on public boards and commissions is a demanding job, even in the best of times.” said Rick Benton, for mer Pender County Manager and Surf City resident. “More so when difficult decisions must be made by a council particularly when those decisions are

In Pender County, the overall cancer mortality rate has declined by 12.4 percent from 2001 to present, therefore breast cancer rates have decreased. However, cancer continues to be the leading cause of death in Pender County, with 18.1 percent of those cancers being cancer of the breast. The Pender County Health Department will be putting the spotlight on breast cancer throughout the month. Stop in to pick up free breast cancer information in the lobby, and check out our breast cancer information board. Area churches may pick up their free Pink Ribbon Sunday tool kit. Breast cancer remains the most frequently occurring cancer in women and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths of women in North

Carolina, but early diagnosis can make a difference. Of women who find and treat breast cancer early, 96 percent will be cancer free after five years. There are three main tests used to screen for breast cancer. s"REAST SELF EXAM IS WHEN you check your own breasts for lumps, swelling, changes in size or shape of the breast, and any other changes in the breast or underarm. s#LINICAL BREAST EXAM IS A breast exam by a doctor or nurse, who uses his or her hands to carefully feel for lumps or other changes in the entire breast area. s-AMMOGRAM IS AN 8 RAY of the breast. Mammograms are the best method to detect breast cancer early when it is

for the upcoming year. A Quarter Auction is planned for November, and a Relay float will be decorated and showcased during the annual Burgaw Christmas Parade. The night of the Burgaw Christmas Tree Lighting, an information table with freebies will be on site. The Pender County Queens of Courage Pageant will be conducted Mar. 6 from 3-5 p.m. at Hampstead United Methodist Church. The Survivor Banquet will take place March 19 at

Burgaw Baptist Church from 4-6 p.m. as well. The Pender County Relay for Life Kickoff Celebration will be held at the Surf City Community Building at 201 Community Center Drive in Holly Ridge. Participants are invited to register their teams, pick up fundraising packets and get fundraising tips. The event is free and open to the public.

required on issues that are really not of their own making. You took action that you had determined was in the best interest of the town and community. I think you deserve much credit for addressing the issue that was placed before you, that is exactly what you are elected to do.” Dorothy Royal also of Surf City said that she has been a longtime supporter of the town council. “I have brought people who are running for town council in Holly Ridge to Surf City to see how a real town is run. They leave here impressed, thankful and grateful that people listen to one another,” she said. “As far as Chief Halstead, I do not understand the rush to decision. What was the panic rush? Was it a threat from the NAACP? I don’t know anyone who was demanding this fine man’s resignation. Why wasn’t the town involved? The chief of police is our friend. You took a family member away from us and I don’t understand why.” Brandy Cuff of Hampstead questioned Mayor Zander Guy’s authority to retire Halstead and requested the mayor to change his previous decision, as she presented the town clerk with a petition.

She also questioned if a policy was in effect regarding the use of social media during the time that Mr. Halstead posted on Facebook. “There were no derogatory remarks against a race of people,” said Barbara Matthews of Surf City. “The remarks were made against two groups of people acting as terrorists calling for the deaths of another group of people, law enforcement. Last I noticed, the town of Surf City does not work for the NAACP. I think it was a knee jerk response and was totally wrong.” Following the public forum Councilman Curley thanked the public, “I especially want to thank everyone for coming to this meeting and having the conversation.” Councilman Donald Helms said there is no ill will toward anybody, there are just multiple sides. Guy thanked everyone, including Halstead for their conduct while expressing their opinions at the meeting. Guy then polled the council individually if anyone would like to change their position on the action taken Sept. 15 regarding Halstead. In open session each council member stated no and the original action was upheld unanimously.

Limiting free speech The town of Burgaw needs to take a step back before the commissioners decide to mix politics and religion. Free speech and the freedom to worship how one so chooses are still among the most basic American rights. There is no guaranteed right not to be offended in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights or any other founding document. While reasonable limitations are allowed – the so-called “yelling fire in a crowded theater” provisions – restricting free speech on the grounds that said speech makes someone uncomfortable is a slippery slope. With free speech The issue came about after several complaints about a comes some responsibilstreet preacher during the ity, of course. No one has Blueberry Festival. The the right to escape the preacher apparently struck consequences of their some nerves with his message. choice to say things that Burgaw town leaders instructothers might ﬁnd degraded the town manager and attorney to look into the legality ing, hurtful or offensive. of setting aside a “speaker’s corner” of sorts where anyone who wanted to speak, preach, curse, proselytize or howl at the moon could say whatever they want, whenever they want. We already have such a place: it’s called America. With free speech comes some responsibility, of course. No one has the right to escape the consequences of their choice to say things that others might find degrading, hurtful or offensive. Perhaps the street preacher should have moved somewhere else when he found out some members of the crowd didn’t like his message. At the same time, however – what about other religions? What about vegetarians? What if someone has an allergy to blueberries? What if a homeschooler is offended by public schools fundraising on tax-funded streets? Or if a same-sex couple held hands in public? What about those who are offended by the consumption of alcohol, or those who feel more alcohol sales and consumption would be a boost to the local economy? Perhaps someone gets offended by a book title in the local library? What then? Whether the street preacher was right in his message, or whether he showed good judgment – neither is the point. The point is – we all have the right to free speech, but no one has the right to be protected from hurt feelings.

Pender Stories Part 2

JW Phillips; the man on the corner

Bill Messer JW Phipps repairs and sells used lawn mowers, and is often seen on NC 210 near the US 17 Surf City exit. He told me about his military experiences in a previous article. I saw his white boots and asked, “Do you do any fishin’?” “I retired from that two years ago. The boots? These are comfortable. You slip in and out of ‘em. I slip ‘em on when I want to go outside and sit under the oak tree, and when I want to go back in the house, just kick ‘em off. I did it all, but for the last five years I clammed and oystered. Oysters, you know, go six months out of the year, clams is all year long. Surf City Bridge to Banks Channel marker. “I like the single rock oysters. Permuda Island is fine, I have nuthin’ against that, but there’s areas north of the Surf City Bridge where the tide don’t flush as good. See, if you go down to the south end of the island, where the tide sucks the water in and out, you get a more saltier oyster, yeah, you want a good tide wash. A good tide wash’ll go over the oyster

I’ve got a little problem with COPD (difficulty breathing). I wound up in the emergency room, I just got out of the hospital Wednesday. It’s nuthin’ I can’t handle, I just have to watch myself. Most of my neighbors are excellent neighbors, and I’ve known ‘em since, well, the group. I was the first one there and they built around me, and we become friends.” Knowing the answer already, I asked, “Did you make any money fishin’?” “Ah . . . back and forth.” he admitted. “Where’d you sell your clams?” “Used to be, Sloop Point, Leslie Lee, and from him to Bill Muller, right there on Sloop Point Rd., and some to Junior Grant, and some to The Crab Pot. When I’m workin’ I’d rather stay with one dealer, and you have no problems that way. Just because another dealer’s payin’ a penny more, you run over there, and he says, ‘I’m only payin’ nine cents now’ and you run back to the other dealer who’s picked up somebody else.” I told him about my experience off Permuda Island.

Explore your family history

@ Your Library "Y -IKE 4AYLOR Pender County Library Director Special to the Post & Voice October is Family History Month across the nation, but every month is family history month at Pender County Public Libraries. Our Carolina Heritage Research Center in Burgaw is open two and half days per week to assist you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Our two full service libraries offer more limited resources, but have free public access to Ancestry.com and other online resources, such as Heritage Quest, through NC LIVE. com. Here are eight ways to explore your family history not only in October, but any time of the year. s#HECK OUT A BOOK ON GENEALOGY RESEARCH OR HIStory. You can find books in either of our libraries. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a library card, the first one is free. Just bring a photo ID and proof of your current address.

Continued from page 4A finally hopeful of some intelligent (or at least diverting) conversation. I fluffed myself, then strode across the field with purpose, calling out a greeting as I did so. The male human leaned against a tree and watched me, although I cannot understand why. Now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true I am far more sophisticated than a mere Canada goose, but at the very least I thought we could have a polite conversation, like humans do when they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like their neighbors, but they want to get along. I thought perhaps we could perhaps exchange notes about the resident coyotes. I was so mistaken.

Continued from page 4A plastic laundry basket in it, clamming. He told me how he was in his socks, feeling along in the mud for the clams, with his feet! The next week, I went out to where he had been and tried it myself. Nothing. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how he managed to find the clams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sumthinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; you gottaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; learn,â&#x20AC;? he said. I mentioned I had met Leslie Lee, and seen his clamming operation at Sloop Point. When I visited, he had a building with several large tanks, some filled with green algae. He explained the life cycle of clams, and how he took clam eggs and sperm, combined them and after fertilization raised the free swimming larva in the tanks until they fell to the bottom and developed a shell. During the life cycle, he separated the juvenile clams by size in different trays, in circulating sea water, until finally he placed them in his shellfish beds in the sound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A clam spawns two times out of the year, and all the spawn, the seeds, wash away and wherever they fall, they

other similar online product we offer is called Heritage Quest. You can log into it from anywhere on earth with Internet access. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need your Pender County library card number to do so. s)NTERVIEW A RELATIVE Call or drop in on your Aunt Myrtle or that older relative that might know some family stories from long ago. Take notes or even record the conversation. Perhaps you should preserve your own memories for your children and grandchildren. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll treasure it especially when you are gone. At the library we can give you a list of questions to break the ice to get them talking. s0RESERVE AND ORGANIZE YOUR FAMILY PHOTOS Get the family photos out of the shoeboxes; track down that photo youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen of your great-grand-parents or that relative youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen. Try your hand at scanning them into a computer file, or pay a service to do it. By all means, start building a network with other family members to bring out those old photographs of generations past. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a scanner? You can use one at the library and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll show you how. s#REATE A FAMILY COOKBOOK Gather those heirloom recipes from your parents, grandparents and other rela-

tives. Ask them to include a story about who it was handed down from and something about them. Copies of your compilation would make great family gifts. s-AKE NEW GENEALOGY FRIENDS Attend a program of the Old New Hanover Genealogical Society. Before Pender County was created in 1875 it was the larger part of New Hanover County for 146 years. Even if your family roots are not in this region, the organization offers friendships, programs, and workshops that foster the interest of genealogy. They next meet on Nov. 9, 6:30 p.m. at the Northeast Public Library at 1241 Military Cutoff Rd near Wrightsville Beach. Baylus Brooks will speak on his amazing discovery of the genealogy of Blackbeard the Pirate. Baylus has Pender County roots himself and his research is being published in the forthcoming issue of the North Carolina Historical Review. s6ISIT AND JOIN A HISTORICAL SOCIETY OR A HISTORIC SITE SUPPORT GROUP Most depend on volunteers and are supported by gifts. Your membership supports their work and you may receive a newsletter to keep you up to date on events and happenings. Google online for their websites. The Pender County Mu-

Right off the bat, this rather handsome gander began monopolizing the conversation. He was all full of braggadocio, boasting of his prowess as a male and strutting back and forth. The hens in the group paid him very little mind, although one or two of the strumpets did call out to him, much in the manner of prostitutes in a seaport when the fleet is in. The gander paid them very little mind, and made several very correct, if inappropriate, compliments to me. I agreed that perhaps we could take a leisurely stroll together toward the pondâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; there was some freshly-cut corn there, and the alligator had long since moved on. The next thing I know, those two harridans attacked me. I managed to fend them offâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;breeding always comes

through, of courseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but it was embarrassing to be in a street brawl with such creatures. It was then I realized the gander was just a playboy, so I bid them all good day and made my way back across the field. He might tell the story differently, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way I saw things. What did you say? Why do I talk so much? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a goose. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I do. Apparently you are just as incapable as anyone else of understanding the privilege I grant you by even acknowledging your presence. Sigh. As always, breeding shows. Not everyone has what it takes to be a goose. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Weaver is a columnist with the Post & Voice. Contact him at jeffweaver@whiteville. com.

I told him about Leslie Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempt to raise scallops, but not successfully, because scallops donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay put. In fact, the guy I met at Permuda Island said you can feel scallops bumping up against your legs as you wade along, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how you find them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And shrimp, too,â&#x20AC;? added Phipps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the next time you go clamminâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? Phipps continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;do you do any hand clamminâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;? I teach everybody how to hand clam. You get on the edge of the rock, where the oysters and clams start to grow, and you find the hole, and you start with one finger, and two fingers, then four fingers, and you start digginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; down and you cup â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em up and you can feel, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em, the clam. You feel around it with one finger, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the ridge on it, and you dig him up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And people just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand, they think (a clam) is easy to catch.

I asked him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phew! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mess with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a pain in the butt, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no market for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not that much of a market demand. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the market. Like shrimp.

Planning an affordable funeral Dear Savvy Senior, When my brother died last year, my sister and I had a regular funeral for him and got stuck with a $12,000 bill. Can you recommend some funeral cost cutting tips or cheaper alternatives? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to stick my kids with a big funeral bill after Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gone. Looking Ahead

ized price list of their products and services so you can choose exactly what you want. Be sure to ask for it. Another way to lower your costs is to buy your own casket. You can save at least 50 percent by purchasing one from a store or online and having it delivered to the funeral home, and the funeral home providing the service must accept it. Two good casket-shopping resources that may surprise you are Walmart.com and Costco.com, which offer a variety of caskets and urns at discounted prices. s$IRECT BURIAL Another way to cut your funeral home bill is to get a direct burial. With this option your body would be buried shortly after death, skipping the embalming, viewing and use of the funeral facilities. If your family wants a memorial service they can have it at the graveside or at your place of worship without the body. These services usually cost between $1,000 and $2,000, not counting cemetery charges. All funeral homes offer direct burial. s#REMATION An increasingly popular and affordable way to go, cremation can run anywhere from around $600 (for a direct cremation) up to $4,000 or higher depending on the provider and services you choose. To locate funeral homes that offer cremation or cremation providers in your area, look in your local

Dear Looking, With the average cost of a full-service funeral running over $10,000 today, many people are seeking alternative options to make their final farewell more affordable. Depending on how you want to go, here are some money saving options to consider. s4RADITIONAL FUNERAL If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in a traditional funeral and burial, your first money saving step is to shop around and compare funeral providers, because prices can vary. If you want some help, contact your funeral consumer alliance program. These are volunteer groups that offer information and prices on local funeral providers. See funerals.org/affiliatesdirectory or call 802-865-8300 for contact information. There are also free websites you can turn to, like funeralhomeindex.com that lets you compare prices, and funeraldecisions.com that will provide estimates from local funeral homes based on what you want. When comparing, make sure you take advantage of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;funeral rule.â&#x20AC;?

With a green cemetery burial, the body is buried in a biodegradable coffin or just wrapped in a shroud, without embalming chemicals or a burial vault. The Green Burial Council (greenburialcouncil.org, 888966-3330) has a state listing of cemetery operators who accommodate green burials, as well as funeral professionals who provide the services. s6ETERAN S BURIAL If you are a veteran, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entitled to a free burial at a national cemetery and a free grave marker. This benefit also extends to spouses and dependent children. Some veterans may even be eligible for funeral expense allowances too. To learn more, visit www. cem.va.gov or call the VA at 800-827-1000. s"ODY DONATION Donating your body to a medical facility for research is another popular way to go, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely free. After using your body, your remains will be cremated and your ashes will be buried or scattered in a local cemetery or returned to your family. To locate body donation programs in your state, see anatbd.acb.med.ufl. edu/usprograms. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

Dept. of Commerce team up for Internet project Communication Specialists Company of Wilmington, LLC, is bringing broadband Internet to underserved areas of Pender County, via terrestrial wireless Internet. Communication Specialistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Internet Division is Comspeco.net, Comspecoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement in bringing Internet to underserved areas in Pender County began in March of 2014. Jason Semple, Technical Assistance Director for the Eastern Division of the N.C. Dept. of Commerceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Broadband Division, and Pender County Planning Director Kyle Breuer, arranged a meeting to brainstorm ways to bring Broadband to as many

of Pender Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underserved residents and businesses as possible. Representatives from a number of ISPs were invited to the Pender County Administration Building in Burgaw. The attendees included AT&T, Charter, Time Warner Cable, Century Link and a number of small independent ISPs, including Comspeco.net. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Pender County. They have been wonderful,â&#x20AC;? McNeill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Apparently, not all Internet providers are willing to invest in the infrastructure necessary to bring Broadband to large, sparsely populated areas in which there are big swaths

of land between the homes and businesses. Comspeco is a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP). WISPs all across America are famous for bringing Broadband to places where none existed before. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we do.â&#x20AC;? McNeill points out that Pender County residents do have other options, including satellite and mobile Internet via cellular carriers, and adds that Comspeco has already been providing Internet Services on Topsail Island for about 10 years. According to 2014 US Census data, there are about 56,250 people living in Pender County and nearly 3,000 of them are on Topsail Island.

Fumbles crucial in loss to Ashley

Late TD lifts Pirates past West Brunswick By Lee Wagner Contributing Sports Writer The seemingly-long period of rain and inclement weather played havoc with the highschool athletic schedules, and it force many football teams to play two games in a one-week period – the Topsail Pirates among them. The first came last Wednesday as the Pirates attempted to put an end to a three-game losing streak with an important MidEastern 3A/4A Conference game against West Brunswick in a game with a NCHSAA 3A state playoff slot on the line – and the Pirates answered the bell. They then chose this past Monday to play – perhaps – their worst game of the season. Wednesday, a one-yard plunge by senior Drew Gaither and a clutch extra-point conversion by sophomore kicker Jorge Gonzales with 26.7 seconds left in the game produced a 14-13 Topsail win over West Brunswick. The win put the Pirates in the

a huge part in the victory, holding the Trojans to one offensive touchdown and 213 total yards – all on the

ground – as Trojan senior quarterback Hunter Ashburn was harried into a 1-for-9 performance for zero yards with two interceptions, the final one by Topsail’s Hunter Potts as time expired in the game. “I told the kids before this game that this game was going to be won between our ears,” Inman said. “It wasn’t because we didn’t have talent we just had to toughen up between the ears, and I think that last drive we toughened up. “It was a great team effort and the defense played solid all night except for that one long run (an Ashburn 51-yard scamper). But it was an allaround good effort.” Topsail was driving on their second possession of the game but a fumble was picked up by Trojan Tariq Thomas and returned 63 yards for a touchdown. A Hunter Ashburn kick made it 7-0. The Pirates tied the game in the second period on a four-

Lady Pirates beat Wildcats, fall to Ashley Eagles By Lee Wagner Contributing Sports Writer There was good news and bad news on Thursday for the Topsail High School volleyball team – the good news coming when the results of a key 3A matchup between South and West Brunswick revealed the Lady Cougars won the match, the bad news coming in the form of the results of the Lady Pirates’ match against the Lady Screaming Eagles of Ashley. Senior Payton Schoenleber recorded 24 assists and added four kills and 12 digs, classmate Marlee Marotta recorded 24 digs, five aces, 12 service points, and a pair of kills, and senior Madi Ford had eight kills and four blocks but it was not enough to hold off a firedup Ashley squad as the Lady Screaming ended Topsail’s five-game winning (four in conference) streak with a 3-12 (22-25, 22-25, 25-18, 25-10 victory on Thursday in a Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference match. Despite the loss, the Lady Pirates (11-7, 7-4) clinched the top 3A seed out of the conference in the upcoming NCHSAA playoffs by virtue of South Brunswick’s 3-2 win over West Brunswick. Topsail is 3-1 versus the 3A schools, while West Brunswick (8-8, 4-7) is 2-2 and South Brunswick (14-8, 4-6) is 1-3. What is remaining was a home match for the Lady

Pirates last Tuesday against conference-unbeaten Hoggard (11-1, 10-0) at home on Senior Night in a battle for second place in the conference between the Lady Pirates (7-4) and New Hanover (5-5). The Lady Wildcats were at South Brunswick on Tuesday and are home today against West Brunswick. Topsail simply did not play up to their abilities against Ashley (9-7, 3-7) but Lady Pirates’ Coach Hill Pearsall was quick to give credit to the opponent. “They played really well,” Pearsall said. “They dug up just about everything we hit and their front line played well above the net. We made too many mistakes, a lot of them on the serve/receive and those are things we have to correct going forward. We’ll get back to it tomorrow (Friday) and Monday and get ready for Hoggard.” Pearsall said, in his 19 years at Topsail, the Lady Pirates have never beaten the Lady Vikings. Playing well for Topsail in defeat were sophomore twin sisters Angelica (10 kills, 9 digs) and Selena (4 kills, 4 digs) Biele, junior Makenna Preville (7 points, 10 digs), and junior Victoria Elder (2 kills, 3 blocks). On Tuesday, the Lady Pirates avenged one of those

East Bladen slams Pender By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Pender Patriot’s treacherous march through the powerful Four County Conference continued last Friday night as they traveled to Elizabethtown to face off with the banged up East Bladen Eagles. Although the 2A Eagles were missing their entire starting backfield they still had enough energy to run past the Patriots 49-0. The Eagles were celebrating their homecoming and were set to perform in front of a packed crowd. It took the home team exactly four plays to travel 79 yards. They found pay dirt on a running play that covered four yards. The two point conversion was successful and the Pats found themselves in a one touchdown hole. The Patriots have made some changes to their offense, moving Chase Norris

under center while switching Jake Rawls to the other side of the ball. On this night that would make no difference as the Eagle defense had their way with the undermanned Patriots. Another three and out gave the Eagles the ball at its own 38. The Bladen County crew needed just four plays to cover the 62 yards. East scored from 16 yards out. The extra point was no good and the Eagles led 14-0 with 7:01 left in the first quarter. Pender took over on its own 35-yard line and mounted a drive behind the running of Justin Hooper. Two fourth down conversions gave the Pats the ball on the Eagle 14yard line. Pender faced their third fourth down of the drive and could not convert with Hooper being stopped for a seven yard loss. East took over on the 21-

In My Opinion

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer

The fall sports season is blazing along and we are looking at the playoffs shortly. While the season has been productive it has not been without its hiccups. This leads me to say this. High school athletics is a privilege and is not mandatory. The student-athletes in are county are by and large very well behaved. We have our problems like everybody else but that is the norm when you are dealing with teenagers. Pender County has done its part over the years. They have set up a checks and balance system for the academic part of the equation. It has worked fairly well as I have known a few kids who have sat out several games

to a whole semester. If I were in charge I would take it a step further. I think that all athletes should be required to take random drug tests. That’s right; if you are an athlete then you should be subjected to a drug test if the school feels that there is reason to believe that you are using drugs. I’m not talking about steroids. I am talking about street drugs and even prescription drugs. Our country is in the midst of a major problem with prescription drug abuse among young and old. We need to make sure that our young folk are not caught up in this epidemic. The major problem with this would be the cost. I am sure that our school system would not be able to swing this as we have been behind the proverbial eight ball for quite some time. However, I think it warrants some consideration. The next step would be what type of punishment would be used. Suspension from the sport? How about the school? Let’s not put the horse before the cart. It’s just an idea and of course, this is just my opinion.

Trask drops close game at W. Bladen By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer There is no doubt that the Heide Trask Titan football team is much improved from a year ago. This year’s team has a viable offense that is very aggressive and can score at any time and any place on the field. Last Friday night the Titans traveled to Bladenboro to engage the West Bladen Knights. The Titans did everything they were supposed to do with the exception of coming out on top when the clock struck zero as the Knights held on to defend their home turf with a 38-34 win. The Titans opened the game up with a 72-yard drive that Johnathan Jordan finished off with a seven yard run. The PAT was missed but the Titans had a 6-0 lead with

around eight minutes to play. West answered with a drive of its own and scored from 15 yards out to tie the score. A two point conversion gave West Bladen a two point advantage with just over half of the first quarter completed. The Titan offense was on fire early and needed just two plays to retake the lead. Sophomore Tyrease Armstrong found Jordan for 50 yards and a score. The two-point conversion was good and the score was tied 14-14. The Titans took a 20-14 lead into the break following a 72yard drive that was capped off by a 12-yard scamper by Armstrong. The score read Trask 20-West 14 at the break. The Titans failed to score in the third quarter while the Knights found the end zone

Pender Coach Bob Via talks with quarterback Chase Norris.

The wet weather has wreaked havoc once again. The Topsail team managed to get some action in. The Pirates lost 2-1 to unbeaten Ashley for the second time this year. Sophomore Sam Bell scored in the first half to give Topsail the early lead but Ashley tied the score at 1-1 before the half and got the game-winner on a penalty kick with approximately 13 minutes left in the game. Senior Tyler Davis had six saves in goal for the Pirates. Topsail faced Hoggard on Tuesday with rainouts yet to be rescheduled.

The Trask kickers fell to Clinton on Friday. The score was 4-1 with the undefeated Dark Horses taking the win. Sebastian Bautista scored the lone goal for the Titans while Blake Joyce logged 16 saves. The Titans played Union on Monday before hosting West Bladen on Wednesday. They will play at Pender on Friday. The Patriot soccer team played back to back away games last week, falling to undefeated Clinton 6-0 before dropping another conference match to Wallace 7-2. The Pats were at Midway on Monday before hosting East Bladen on Wednesday. They hosted Trask on Friday.

Post & Voice Top Performers By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The area is finally starting to dry out a bit although last week was awfully wet. That being said, the area had plenty of action. The Trask volleyball team dropped two conference matches. Emily Oyler led the Titans with nine kills and 27 digs while Brittany Foy added 25 digs in the loss to East Bladen. The Pender ladies dropped two matches as well. Caroline Peterson led the Pats with 17 assists, two aces and two digs while Imani Newkirk had 10 kills, four aces and three digs. Kam Thompson tallied 11 kills and five blocks with Hannah Teachey pitching in 13 assists min the loss to West Bladen. The Topsail ladies split conference matches. Madi Ford had seven kills, Angelica Biele had 14 assists, Elder added five kills and two blocks, Kaylee Kyle had 14 digs and three aces, and Marlee Marrota, who led the conference in digs with 463 (327 is second) with two games left, had six service points, four kills, two aces, and 21 digs in the match against New Hanover. Peyton Schoenleber had 9 points, 11 kills, 10 assists, 7 digs, 2 aces, 1 block.

The Trask soccer team fell to Clinton. Sebastian Bautista scored a goal and keeper Blake Joyce had 16 saves. Sophomore Sam Bell scored the only goal in the Pirates loss to Ashley. Senior Tyler Davis had six saves in goal for the Pirates. The Topsail boys cross country team won a meet at Hugh McRae Park last week. Pirate Trent Pyrtle was the individual winner in 17:20 with Domenik Dibiase second in 17:36. The Pender football lost to East Bladen despite Justin Hooper eclipsing the 100 yard mark. Trask dropped a heart breaker to West Bladen. Tyrease Armstrong threw for 232 yards and a touchdown and also scored on a run while Johnathan Jordan had a touchdown run and reception along with 107 yards receiving.

Football Preview

After rainy week, teams on the road By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer After a tough couple of we e k s w i t h re s ch e d u l e d games, Topsail has Friday off. Pender will travel to West Bladen and Topsail will host East Bladen.

Pender at West Bladen The Pender Patriots will travel to West Bladen for their second consecutive scheduled home game. This is actually their third home game in a row as they played at Midway because of the wet field conditions. The Patriots are coming off of a brutal loss to East Bladen while West edged the Titans in a hotly contested game. The Patriots have moved some players around and tried to find a combination that works. One of the only things they have found that has proven to be successful is

handing the ball off to Justin Hooper. The junior standout found some room to roam against a pretty stout Eagle defense . The Patriot defense has had trouble stopping the run all year. They are tackling better than early in the year. However, West Bladen can score points in bunches. The Patriots will have to find a way to slow the Knights down. Offensively, it does not appear that the Patriots have settled on what they want to do on offense. It appears that they have abandoned the option and seem to be wavering on exactly what they want to do. The Patriots game plan needs to revolve around Hooper and fellow speedster Latrell Brown. Coach Bob Via has gone to sophomore Chase Norris under center. The Pats have no passing game. A few screen passes to Hooper and Brown may be in order. It is time to open things up. They have nothing to lose. On paper, this may not be much of a contest. However, the Patriots can play with the Knights if they can limit their mistakes and get it to their playmakers. Coach Via’s job

now is to make sure his team plays hard and builds for the future. The score: 41-20.

Trask hosts East Bladen The Titans will switch Bladen County opponents this week with Pender. The Titans will host East Bladen. The Eagles slammed the Patriots a week ago and are looking to sweep the Pender County schools. The Titan offense showed off against West Bladen last week. Sophomore signal caller Tyrease Armstrong threw for over 200 yards and a score and ran for another touchdown. He is becoming the star of this Titan football team. The Titans have yet to get Steven Jordan unleashed. The junior is a very good back that just can’t find the room to run. When he finally goes off there will be trouble. The Patriots had some success running the ball against

the Eagle defense. Justin Hooper broke outside a few times and outran the eagle corners. If the Titans can get Jordan outside he will do some damage. It appears that the Titans have become Armstrong’s team. He has a bevy of receivers including senior Johnathan Jordan. The two combined for 107 yards passing last week. I would look for the Titans to throw the football downfield. I can see Armstrong to Jordan, Michael Stroman and Zenas Ward all day long. It appears that the Titan offensive line can pass block better than they can run block. Defensively, the Titans will have to stop an Eagle running game that punished the Patriots at will with a backup quarterback and two back up running backs. The Titans will have problems with this. The only hope is that they can slow the Eagles down enough to keep pace with them on the scoreboard. This is a tall order for Coach Johnathan Davis and company. The Titans are a better team now than two weeks ago. However, the Eagles are a very good 2A team. The score: 41-19.

Lady Patriots drop two conference matches By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Pender Patriot volleyball coach Matt Davis knew coming into this season that the Patriots would be in a rebuilding mode. Through all of that he has not lost sight of what he needs to do for his team and its young ladies. Last week was a perfect example of the commitment the veteran coach has to his team and the community as a whole as the Patriot spikers hosted the Patriots annual Pink Out game to benefit a member of the Patriot family going through the rigors of breast cancer. The Patriots dropped the conference match but felt a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. The Pats hosted East Bladen in the Pink Out game The Patriots won the first game before dropping the final three sets. The scores were 25-22, 1425, 20-25 and 22-25. Caroline Peterson had 12 assists and one ace while Lakirah Forney had five kills, one block, five aces and six digs. Imani

Newkirk added five kills, three aces and four digs with Kam Thompson tallying five kills and one block. Coach Davis expressed pride in the way his girls fought on the court as well as the way they have handled themselves off the court with regard to the Pink out game. “This was our fourth annual Pink Out. Over the years we have raised money to help suppor t various families in Pender County, some in Pender Volleyball, with needs related to cancer treatment and care. This year is no different. We have raised, due to the hard work of our players and parents, nearly $1,500 so far this year that will go to someone in the Pender High Family that is in dire need of our help. We have sold tshirts, stickers, special pink ribbon candies, and collected donations to help out our community,” Davis said. “While Tuesday was our official Pink Out game we will continue to sell the items and collect

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

Rain go away By Bobby Norris Fishing Fanatic The rainy weather seems to be moving out of here and the area anglers are ready to see some nice weather. There are still some Spanish being caught off of the beaches of Topsail when you can find some clean waters. Trolling a clarks spoon or pitching a spoon into a school will bring you some luck. The reds are still around the marshes and creeks and such. I hear that different types of gulp bait are working as well as cut baits. The flat fish are feeding near the inlets and along structures. Live mud minnows will do the trick here. The pier anglers are patiently waiting for the winds to die down so that the spot bite will ensue. A few small croaker are being caught on bottom rigs baited with shrimp. The fresh water bite is un-

usually slow with the high water levels. As the water levels drop the fishing will increase. The panfish will hit red worms and crickets while the cats will bite chicken livers and such. This week’s fishing tip When fishing in the late fall and winter time, you need to dress appropriately. There is nothing more miserable than getting out on the water and the temperature drops and leaves you out there in a tee shirt. Dress in layers. It is easier to take clothes off than it is to come all the way back to the dock to get your winter wear. Rubber boots is something that one needs when fishing in the winter. Loading and unloading your boat works much better when you know you don’t have to get your feet wet. Finally, a good hat that covers your ears will come in very handy on those cold days.

Topsail Sports Roundup By Lee Wagner Contributing Sports Writer As the previous week’s weather continued to play havoc with the high-school scholastic schedule, the teams from Topsail scrambled to get games in this past week, and Chris Haney and the coaches continued to fight the fight of rescheduling meets, matches, and games that were postponed. But as the weather improved late in the week all the teams managed to get at least one chance to participate in an athletic event. Girls’ tennis The Lady Pirates (11-2) –

who have already clinched the top 3A seed out of the MidEastern 3A/4A Conference in the upcoming NCHSAA state playoffs – won a trio of matches last week, defeating West Brunswick 9-0 at home on Friday, Ashley 9-0 on the road on Wednesday, and New Hanover 6-3 at home on Tuesday. Laney (9-0), which defeated Topsail 9-0 on Sept. 3, is in first place in the conference with Topsail second at 7-2. Hoggard, which beat Topsail 5-4 on Sept 18, is 5-4. Topsail played Hoggard on Tuesday and faced Laney on Wednesday in the regular-season fi-

Mitchell making strides for the Trask Titans By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Heide Trask Titan volleyball team has went through some growing pains this year. although the team has struggled at times there are signs of the team being much better as the team matures and the seasons unfold. One of the players that seems to be coming into her own is junior hitter Tiara Mitchell. Over the middle and latter part of the 2015 season Miss Mitchell has come into her own. She has become much more confident in her ability which has made her an integral part of the Titan spikers. Mitchell showed her improvement last week when she was voted as the player of the game by Coach Jessica Ball. With just over a week left in the regular season, there is a chance that the Titans will make the playoffs. Tiara Mitchell will be a big part of the Titans success in the future.

ferent as the Titans dropped two Four County Conference matches. First up for the Titans was an away match up with the Lady eagles of East Bladen. The Lady Titans fell in three sets. The scores were 23-25, 28-30 and 17-25. Emily Oyler led the Titans with nine kills and 27 digs while Brittany

Foy added 25 digs. The final match of the week was a home affair with West Bladen. The Lady Titans played hard but fell to the Lady Knights in five games. The scores were 1425, 26-24, 25-16, 19-25 and 9-15. Tiara Mitchell led the Lady Titans with nine kills while Oyler added eight kills

and six digs. The Titans are now 3-14 overall and 3-8 in Four County Conference play. The Titans hosted Midway on Tuesday and played at Clinton on Thursday. They will end the regular season next Tuesday with a home match against their biggest rival in the Pender Patriots.

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Topsail Pirate volleyball team has made major strides over the fall sports season. after a summer league season that Coach Hill Pearsall used to try different combinations, the Pirates have come in to their own. One of the reasons is the play of senior libero Marlee Marrotta. Miss Marrotta had a ton of potential coming into the year. It is safe to say that she has realized that potential and surpassed every prediction as to how good she would be. With a little more than a week left Marlee is leading the Mid-eastern Conference in digs with more than 600. She has become a force for the Pirates in every facet of the game. While the Pirates have locked up the 3A spot in the MEC, there is still work to be done. Marlee Marrotta is a special athlete for the Pirate volleyball team.

Topsail’s Caroline Harris

James brings spirit to the Pender Patriots By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer When the Pender Patriot football team takes the field there are a few fans that follow the team and cheer them on as if they are making a difference in every play. The Pender Patriot cheerleaders have that much at stake and more. That’s where Allena James comes in. As a high school cheerleader there are things that a young lady needs to do. Among those things is making sure that the student body is behind the team at every turn. Miss James works hard and setting a good example for the athletes and students as well. Allena has been cheerleading since she was a tiny girl. She has worked hard at her craft and has made huge strides along the way. Allena will take all of her experiences gained on the sidelines and convert them to real life’s lessons. She is a spirit stick for the Patriots.

Bill Howard Outdoors

By Bill Howard Post & Voice Columnist Once again we have had a terrible thing happen at the hands of a mad man. Once again, there is a push for legislation on gun controlling measures. While this is an outdoors column, owning and using firearms are an essential part of the outdoors as well as one of our primary rights as not only Americans, but humans. I may be in a minority, or I may be part of the majority, it is hard to tell these days. Either way, I think it would have been refreshing to have heard a speech from our leaders worded in this way: “Dear fellow Americans, I come to you tonight with heartache from yet another incident

in which innocent peoples’ lives were taken at the hands of a gun wielding criminal. Details will immerge over the next 24 to 48 hours which will help authorities determine the root cause of act of evil that was bestowed on one of our school campuses. I stand before you saddened and outraged all at once. We cannot let this happen again. Other countries similar to ours, allies in fact, were able to take up legislation immediately following such an incident. England passed laws and confiscated all firearms in 1997 to prevent this from happening in their country. Fortunately, we can learn from our allies and their moves to stop such violent crimes. Once England confiscated these weapons, their violent crime rate and homicide rate nearly doubled the year following. In fact, England has only had one year in which the rate was less than the year before acting upon this legislation. Our very principles for establishing this more perfect union calls for the arming of the citizenry. It was important enough to list as our second amendment right. Therefore, starting tomorrow, my staff and I will begin contacting each and every

member of Congress to enact new legislation going forward to prevent these mass killings, as well as the abundance of gun related homicides and other crimes. We cannot do this without Congress’s participation, and we will see to it that they are motivated to do so. I will ask Congress to establish legislation that requires firearm safety to be taught as part of the school curriculum for all fifth and eighth grade classes. This will help teach our children to respect what a firearm can do, become familiar with a firearm rather than scared of it, and to know what circumstances they can be used in self defense. I will ask Congress to help fund classes for all teachers, administration, and support staff in our schools, colleges, and universities in proper firearm safety and handling, and recommend if not require teachers to carry firearms. Another of our allies currently arms their teachers, and Israel has not had these types of events happen in their schools even with the threat of constant terrorist attacks in these environments. I will also ask Congress to pass legislation to do away with concealed carry laws. There will be no ordinance

anywhere that will not allow an American citizen to carry concealed or otherwise in order to protect his or herself or others. We have seen in such things as natural disasters that the government cannot always be there immediately to help. We even have a plan online called Ready.gov that teaches and outlines what to have and do in case of emergency. I will ask our Department of Homeland Security to add this website how to handle attacks such as these so that we may protect ourselves first and foremost. Whether sane or mad, a man will not run into a group of well armed people and decide to pull a firearm. We cannot wait for the next massacre at a church, school, hospital, or establishment to happen because our people were not able to defend themselves.” –Bill Howard is a lifelong North Carolina resident and hunter.

“I was young, and headstrong. I wouldn’t listen to anybody, and did some things, got in trouble ... The magistrate gave me a choice, and ‘Army’ was what I took.” He said it was the best thing that ever happened to him. “I think every young person comin’ out of high school ought to have to do a couple of years of service, one of the military services, or community service.” “Absolutely,” I agreed, “It gives you a sense of ownership once you’ve got some of your time invested it.”

It was a solid tur naround from the 3-1 (20-25, 23-25, 25-17, 19-25) defeat suffered at the hands of the Lady Wildcats on Sept, 10, and Pearsall cited several reasons. “I think we still let them hang around too long but we played very steady,” Pearsall said. “The last game I wasn’t really very happy that we served four into the net but I thought we blocked extremely well again, and we passed extremely well. That allowed us to maintain the lead in all three games. “We’re on the upside, I hope. We’re heading into the last two games and then the conference tournament so the rest of our games, really, are just preparation for the playoffs. The girls are very positive,

Topsail

Continued from page 8A yard run by senior Grant McCoy (10 carries, 64 yards) that capped a 10-play, 69-yard drive, including overcoming a holding penalty. Gonzales’ kick made it 7-7 It stayed that way until the final period when Ashburn’s 51-yard run kept a drive alive that resulted in a five-yard touchdown run by Trojan Shakeem Hill with 7:35 left in the game. The missed conversion kick left the door open for Topsail, and they capitalized. Aided by a roughing-thepasser penalty on fourth down, Topsail drove 60 yards – McCoy’s 30-yard kickoff return providing good field position – on 14 plays with Gaither punching it in from the one. That set up the inexperienced Gonzales for the potential game-winner. “It’s a good thing he’s inexperienced because he didn’t know the pressure,” Inman said. “If he had been doing this all along he probably would have realized the pressure he had. He’s a soccer player.” Gonzales said he was nervous but he knew what had to be done. “There was a little pressure, it was hard, but I knew

again to support the cause.” The final match of the week was a conference affair with West Bladen. Coach Davis saw some of what he expects out of his team in the future in the 3-2 loss to the Knights. “Kam Thompson really came through for us at the net in games three and four. We were able to get her set where she could really get into her rhythm on her approach. We feel good about the future at Pender High. I look forward to the future of our program.“ homecoming queen and king being crowned. The second half was much the same as the Patriot offense struggled to find any success while the Eagle offense moved the football at their will. East Bladen went to their passing game early in the second half and it paid dividends. They scored on a 38-yard pass to extend their lead to 35-0 early in the third period. The score reached 42-0 late

nale. A win in either of those matches will secure second place for the Lady Pirates in the conference. No. 1 singles Carmen Jordan, who is now 11-2 in singles and 11-1 in doubles with Caroline Harris, won her three matches (6-0, 6-0 vs. West; 6-1, 6-2 versus Ashley; 6-0, 6-4 vs NHHS) as did Harris (6-0, 6-0; 6-0, 6-0;, 6-0, 6-1). rarriH Harris is 12-1 in both singles and doubles. Also winning all three of her matches this past week was Elvie Parra (6-0, 6-1; 6-1, 6-2; 4-6, 7-5 (10-6).

Topsail led 19-17 in the opener when a four-point surge – fueled by a kill and an ace by Schoenleber (9 points, 11 kills, 10 assists, 7 digs, 2 aces, 1 block) – gave the Lady Pirates some breathing. An ace by Marrotta put the game in the win column. The second game was tied at 5-5 when Topsail fell slightly behind (2-3 points) for much of the contest before tying the score late at 18-18. It was deadlocked at 19-19 and 2020 before kills by Anderson and Schoenleber – around a West hitting error – made it 23-20. The teams exchanged single points before a Schoenleber kill secure the win. Game three was tied 10 times – the last at 17-17 – before a kill by junior Victoria Elder

and an ace by Preville ignited a run that produced a 20-16 lead. West Brunswick closed to within 24-23 but Schoenleber ended the comeback, and the match with another kill. “We definitely had more intensity this game,” Schoenleber said. “I think just our attitude and the way we play together as a team lately has made a difference. When we played at New Hanover we were really like separated, divided, and it just wasn’t the way we can play. “From our little slump there in mid-season we definitely have turned it around, for sure, and that’s a change in attitude and momentum.” Ford had seven kills, Angelica Biele had 14 assists, Elder added five kills and two blocks, Kaylee Kyle had 14 digs and three aces, and Marrota, who led the conference in digs with 463 (327 is second) with two games left, had six service points, four kills, two aces, and 21 digs in the match.

I had to get the team the “W,” Gonzales said. “I was nervous but I calmed down after I saw it go in.” Freshman D. J. Montano led the Pirates offense with 32 carries for 142 yards. “I like to carry the ball, carry the team on my back, and the line did a good job in letting me get the yardage we needed,” Montano said. Monday at Ashley, the fumble bug bit the Pirates early. The first miscue presented Ashley with field position after an exchange of punts and eventually led to a 36yard scoring run by Ashley junior Bradley Plyer. A Seth Kujawski extra-point kick and a 7-0 Screaming Eagles lead with 1:38 left in the first period. The second fumble came on the first play after the ensuing kickoff. Ashley then moved 40 yards on eight plays and it resulted in a one-yard touchdown run by Ashley’s Freddie Thames, making it 14-0. Fumble No. 3 came with 5:22 left in the first half and Ashley capitalized, moving 58 yards on five plays – one a 33-yard run by Ashley quarterback Caleb Parker (144 yards on 26 carries) – with Plyer (12 carries, 70 yards, 2 TDs) scoring with 2:44 left in the half. Topsail managed just 55 yards in the first half, and just three first downs.

“It was pretty close to the worst football game we played all year, easily the worst first half of football we played all year,” Topsail Coach Wayne Inman said. “It’s like I told the kids, with their Moms and dads standing around, we weren’t prepared to play tonight. They came out here ready to play and our kids didn’t play well at all until the second half. “I could tell coming over here that the focus wasn’t there, that we were in trouble if things didn’t go our way early. We gave them a short field on each possession in the first half, they didn’t have to drive the length of the field all night, and it was the opposite of us.” The Topsail offense didn’t do any better in the second half, finishing with a total of 98 yards in the game. The only Pirate score of the game came with 4:55 remaining when junior linebacker Chris Nixon scooped up an Ashley fumble and rambled 50 yards for a touchdown. Topsail now has a bye week before facing South Brunswick – the third 3A team in the conference – on Oct. 23. “That’s a game we have to have and we need to get better prepared to play that game then we were tonight, and if we’re not we can run into problems there.” Inman said.

lowed by Hoggard (81). Pirate Trent Pyrtle was the individual winner in 17:20 with Domenik Dibiase second in 17:36. The Lady Pirates (93) finished second behind Laney (33). Lucy Marcum (21:16) led the girls with a fourth-place finish. Topsail was at the Elite Invitational at Ivey Redmon Park in Kernersville – site of the NCHSAA 3A state championships on Nov. 7. The conference 3A championship is today (Thursday). Golf After inclement weather postponed a match on Monday (10/5), the Lady Pirates finally hit the links on Thursday, finishing fifth with a team score of 346 at the Masonboro Country Club in a match where Ashley and Laney shared in the team victory with a 273. South Brunswick (288) was third, followed by Hoggard (330), Topsail, West Brunswick (347), and New Hanover (370). Ashley’s Katy Flax was the

medalist with a 78, edging Laney’s Caroline Cahill (79). Topsail’s top scorer was Liz Sharpe (57-5=113), followed by Angela Linehan (58-56=114), Julia Nasco (56-63=119), Gracie Ocock (59-61=120), and Lindsey Ocock (60-63=123). Making up rain-outs, Topsail was at Porter Neck Country Club on Monday and back in action on Tuesday at Belvedere Country Club. Soccer The Pirates (1-7-2, 1-5-0) lost 2-1 to unbeaten Ashley (15-0-0, 7-0-7) – the second time this year (9/15) they lost 2-1 to the Screaming Eagles. Sophomore Sam Bell scored in the first half to give Topsail the early lead but Ashley tied the score at 1-1 before the half and got the game-winner on a penalty kick with approximately 13 minutes left in the game. Senior Tyler Davis had six saves in goal for the Pirates. Topsail faced Hoggard (9-4-3, 5-1-0) on Tuesday with rainouts yet to be rescheduled.

conversion pulled the Titans to within three at 31-28 and the game was on the line. The Knights answered the score with one of its own with about four minutes to play. The PAT was good and the Titans trailed 38-28. Trask received the kick off and moved down the field. They scored with less than a minute to play. The twopoint conversion failed and the scoreboard read West 38Trask 34. The Titans had only one option left. They tried an onside

kick. The Knights recovered and ran out the clock. Tyrese Armstrong led the Titans rushing with 73 yards and a touchdown while passing for 232 yards and a score. Johnathan Jordan ran for two scores and added a touchdown reception. Jordan had 107 receiving yards. The Titans are now 1-5 overall and 0-2 in conference play. They have a busy week. They played Union on Tuesday in a makeup contest before hosting East Bladen on Friday.

Autumn with Topsail By Lori Kirkpatrick, Post & Voice Staff Writer

The 27th annual Autumn With Topsail Ar t, Beach and Music Festival (AWT) is scheduled for Oct. 17-18 on the festival grounds, located in front of the Assembly Building in Topsail Beach. The Historical Society of Topsail Island will sponsor the event, which will feature a variety of live music, food, arts and crafts vendors and children’s activities. Saturday’s festivities will kick off with the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast on Saturday from 7:30-10 a.m. and on Sunday from 8-10 a.m. More than 100 hand-picked exhibitors’ arts and crafts booths will launch at 9:30 a.m. Shortly after that, an expanded food court and the beer and wine garden will open at 11 a.m. Boat rides will be offered, in addition to a variety of children’s activities that will be situated on the grounds and inside the Assembly Building. Chairman Keith Myers said that there are 21 different committees that have met monthly to organize the two-day event, and more than 300 volunteers will be working during the festival. “We will have a magician entertaining and mystifying groups of festival goers as he moves around the festival site,” said Myers. “There will be a roving band of pirates roaming the grounds, entertaining kids of all ages. We’ll have a cooking demo in the food court with lots of tasty treats and recipes. We have more music this year, including talent from Nashville along with lots of great beach music. Visitors can expect lots of children’s activities, including inflatable rides

and arts and crafts. There will also be a silent auction featuring donations from local businesses and artists.” Saturday’s music will kick off with music by the Jason Lee McKinney Band from noon until 3 p.m., followed by North Tower Band from 5-8 p.m. North Tower has been known as a southern party band for more than 35 years, performing favorite oldies, beach, top 40 and funk. On Sunday, the Band of Oz will be the highlighted artist from 1-4 p.m.. The Band of Oz features a full horn section in its eightmember group. They per-

form more than two hundred shows per year for corporate events, festivals, concerts, wedding receptions, and other public and private events. Children will be able to have their faces painted and hair sprayed bright colors. They can decorate visors, d o o rk n o b h a n g e r s, s u n glasses and more. Kids can also design necklaces and bracelets with beads, make colorful sand art and enjoy the inflatable rides. For the adults, artists and crafters will bring their creations to Autumn with Topsail. Visitors will find jewelry, paintings, pottery, wood carvings, clothing and other items. Myers explained the significance of the festival’s

location as it relates to Topsail Island’s unique history. “Autumn with Topsail is held on the grounds of the Assembly Building on the south end of Topsail Beach. The building also houses the Missiles and More Museum. The building and grounds are owned and maintained by the Historical Society of Topsail Island. All of the proceeds from the festival are used to operate and maintain the Assembly Building and the grounds. From 1946-1948, Operation Bumble Bee was a top secret Navy missile program. The Assembly building was built to assemble and fire test rockets from a launch pad on the beach. It is the birth place of jet aviation and the ram jet engine is still used today in moder n jets. The assembly building is a nationally registered historical landmark. Autumn With Topsail is a great festival on the south end of beautiful Topsail Beach. Come and be part of this important celebration. Don’t miss it – don’t even be late,” said Myers. Autumn With Topsail will take place at 720 Channel Blvd in Topsail Beach. The festival grounds are located on Anderson Blvd (N.C. Hwy. 50 E.) and Flake Avenue in front of the Assembly Building in Topsail Beach. A free shuttle service will be provided from various parking areas to the festival grounds. Pets will not be allowed with the exception of service dogs. Tickets will cost $5 for adults and for kids 12 and up. Children 11 and under and active military personnel will be admitted for free. A two-day pass can be purchased for $8 as well.

People were bringing children to Jesus in order that He might touch them, and the disciples spoke sternly to them. But when Jesus saw it, He was indignant and said to them, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let the little children come to me, do not stop them, for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.â&#x20AC;? Mark 10: 13-14 The young people in the church I served in Lynchburg wanted to decorate their youth room. They went through the proper channel, got permission from the session. Still there was the inevitable talk. The youth started their decorating. The woman who ran the youth group had been a set decorator in college. The youth painted the walls of the room in three foot panels each panel a different color. I thought it looked like the Dutch Boy test room. One Sunday as we came out of church an older member of the church glanced into the room and shook her head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about this,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let me ask you a question,â&#x20AC;? I said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the youth to feel like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a part of the church donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? she agreed. If we told them they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paint their room how do you think they would feel?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well not very good, not a part of the church,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? I said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right.â&#x20AC;? Then in a confidential way I said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paint the room that way and you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paint the room that way, but the youth needed to paint the room that way, to claim their space, and be-

side in a few years they will be gone and we can paint it any color we want.â&#x20AC;? When I was Christian education director in Alamance Presbyterian Church in Greensboro, the youth wanted to paint the base board of their classroom purple. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask the session for permission but they painted them anyway. When the session discussed the matter with some concern, I asked them to consider what it hurt for the baseboards to be purple. They thought a bit and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really hurt anything.â&#x20AC;? Then I asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What would it hurt to tell the youth to put things back the way they were?â&#x20AC;? They thought a minute and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would make the youth feel bad, maybe alienate some of them.â&#x20AC;? The session decided the baseboards were just fine purple and nothing else was said. When it comes to youth and children, you have to think about what your actions and ideas say to them about their place in the church. When it comes to youth and children, you have to consider the impact of how you react to their ideas and needs. Jesus in the passage above understood the power of actions. When the people began to bring children to Jesus, they turned them away. They said Jesus didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time for children, but Jesus protested. He said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let the children come to me, there is always time for those who eagerly search for the kingdom of God.â&#x20AC;? We could learn something from a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eager faith. Do you know how children learn? Do they learn by

reading a book? No, long before they can even read they are learning? Do they learn by watching a movie or TV? Some things maybe, but not the most important lessons of life. Do they learn by talking to their peers? A little but not a lot. Children learn by watching adults. They learn what is important, How to act, the way to face different challenges and problems by watching adults and they do what they see. They follow the examples they are given. Bring up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it. We are teaching our children every day. We are teaching them what is important in life. We are telling them in a hundred different ways how to face the challenges of the world. We are teaching them morals. We are teaching them ethics. We are teaching them how to treat other people, how to get along or not get along, how to behave in the

world. And what are they learning from us? What exactly are we teaching by our actions? It an awesome task to teach the children. It is a challenge to teach them well. We teach them best when we give them the right examples to follow, the right paths to trod. If yoou want them to honor God, be adults who honor God. Indeed. So let us let them see us honoring God. If you want them to learn to praise and worship the Lord, be parents who take them to church and model how to praise and worship God. If you want them to follow Jesus, then live a life of following Jesus and show the way. If you want them to serve God through serving others, then show them examples of serving others in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. We teach the children best when we teach them by the living of our lives... the living of our lives to the glory of God.
