Four-county robbery spree hits Burgaw
Traveling troupe comes home
Suspect arrested in Duplin County By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher A crime spree that spanned four counties and lasted several days ended with a holdup in Burgaw and an arrest in Duplin County. Duplin County law enforcement officials arrested a Stacey Allen Rodgers, 56, of Wilmington Oct. 23. Rodgers is charged with felony robbery with a dangerous weapon in the Oct. 22 robbery of the Family Dollar Store on U.S. Hwy. 117 in Burgaw. Rodgers is also implicated in a string of robberies that
began Oct. 19 with holdups in Sampson, Duplin, New Hanover, and Pender counties. Robberies in Clinton, Rose Hill, Wallace, Wilmington, and Burgaw were all part of the investigation. Burgaw Police Chief Jim Hock says Rodgers was arrested in Duplin County after several law enforcement agencies worked together and shared information. Following the Family Dollar robbery in Burgaw Oct. 22, Hock says the information on the suspect was shared with neighboring

Quarter Auction at Matthew 25 Center By Ashley Jacobs Post & Voice Staff Writer Time to get some “good stuff cheap,” according to Paula Schwefel, the director of The Matthew 25 Center. The center is a home away from home for families who may otherwise slip through the cracks of society. The Matthew 25 Center is a non-profit Christian ministry named after scripture, Matthew 25:40. Nestled in Burgaw, the facility spans more than 7,000 square feet and serves as a lodging facility for those traveling long distances to visit loved ones in prison. “We are the Matthew 25 Center help to keep families connected.” Keeping families connected means
keeping money rolling in and the Bid-toBenefit Quarter Auction is a great way to rake in cash for their mission. Last year’s auction was a success full of fun and opportunities to snag some great items at very low prices. “Because this is our third annual [auction] we have regulars that enjoy seeing each other and helping raise money for the center. All those new to the event get a tour of the center and an opportunity to find out more about what we do. We chose to
do it again because it is a much talked about event and we have great support from people in the community.” Money raised is typically used for the operating budget, but this year there is a strong need to replace the roof. “Our hope is to raise enough money to replace the roof this next year, also we are in the replacement years, it seems for everything else.” Schwefel said. They’ve already had to replace four of their five heat pumps over the past few years, the washing machine and know other items are in need of repair or replacement very soon. Though the needs to improve their

School Board to report on bond projects at Nov. 9 Commissioners meeting By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher Pender County Manager Randall Woodruff told commissioners school officials would be at the Nov. 9 board meeting to update commissioners on the progress of the bond projects. Woodruff made the announcement at Monday’s board meeting. County Commissioner David Piepmeyer expressed disappointment with
the Pender County Board of Education with what he described as a lack of information on the progress of the Penderlea school bond project. Piepmeyer said the School Board agreed to get back with the commissioners within 60 days on the Penderlea project. “I am very reluctant to support them from a financial standpoint when they don’t meet their commitments and get back to us,” Piepmeyer said. School officials told commissioners at
an earlier meeting they were expecting to hear from architects regarding the direction of the Penderlea School project within 60 days. School Board passes budget The Board of Education passed a 201516 budget at a meeting Oct. 20. The new $83.1 budget was passed three-and-a-half months into the new fiscal year. The new budget includes $15.2 million

A man who allegedly broke into the home of an elderly Burgaw resident and used an axe to chop through her bedroom door was arrested by Pender County Sheriff ’s deputies Oct. 20. The Pender County Sheriff ’s Office received a report of a burglary in progress at 1940 Hwy. 53 east Burgaw Oct. 20 at 2:56 a.m. Deputies responded and arrested Tyler Nathaniel Turner, 18, of 1704 Talon Trail, Snow Camp. Turner had kicked in the front door on the house and taken an axe and broken through the victim’s bedroom door. The home was occupied by an elderly female resident who was not injured.

Tyler Nathaniel Turner Turner had sustained some minor injuries during his leap on I-40 and was transported to Pender Hospital where he was treated and released. Turner was taken into custody after being released from the hospital and charged with first degree burglary, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, and damage to real property.

Burgaw ordinance unconstitutional, Pender Clerk of Court says By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher Pender County Clerk of Superior Court Robert Kilroy says the new Burgaw ordinance that restricts free speech at events such as the Blueberry Festival and Springfest violates both the United States and the North Carolina constitutions. In a letter dated Oct. 23 to Burgaw Mayor Eugene Mulligan, Kilroy outlined his objections to the ordinance,
which requires individuals or groups wishing to use venues such as the festivals to preach or distribute literature, to be restricted to a designated area away from the Courthouse Square. “The Ordinance as written violates the First and Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article 1, Section 14 and 19 of the North Carolina Constitution.

Commissioners hear county finance report By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher Pender County Finance Director Kathy Brafford presented the first requested quarterly financial report to County Commissioners Monday. The request for quarterly financial updates came from Commissioner David Piepmeyer after the county’s financial mismanagement of the past several years, which resulted in the departure of former county finance director Butch Watson. Brafford gave an overview of county finances, but didn’t
see to be exactly sure of what Piepmeyer wanted in the report. “This shows the revenues collected and the expenditures as of Sept. 30. There are some significant revenues that we have not collected, so the decrease in the fund balance is nothing to get alarmed about,” said Brafford. “This report mirrors the budget.” While Piepmeyer thanked Brafford for the report and commented on the amout of information it contained, it didn’t seem to be what he was looking for and asked for more information.
“This is a great start. My intention is for us on a quarterly basis to check the pulse of our financial status. I’m interested in finding out what is important in each quarter and highlight those things as we move through the financial quarters,” said Piepmeyer. “Also as you are preparing this document, anything that would give you concern, I would like for you to give a brief summary of that item and what we need to do resolve that issue.” Audit update Pender County Manager Randall Woodruff says the county’s annual audit should
be ready for submission to the North Carolina Local Government Commision by the middle of November. “We are in the final stages of preparing the audit. We sent a few more things to the auditors and are expecting a draft to be completed soon,” Woodruff said. “We are in a lot better shape than we were last year.” Woodruff says it is important to have the audit completed on time. “We need a current audit for the school bond and other projects we are working on,” Woodruff said.
Topsail student works for human rights with project By Lori Kirkpatrick Post & Voice Staff Writer Oct. 28 was a “Day of STAND” for some students at Topsail High School (THS). The event was planned and implemented by 17-year-old Ethan Boswell as part of his graduation project. Ethan is involved with STAND, a human rights club that works to raise awareness and support for those affected by the crisis in Syria. Several boxes were set up throughout Topsail High School this week to collect small cash donations, and the group asked for $10 donations to participate in the “Day of STAND.” Students who donated the $10 received a sticker. On the sticker, they were asked to write their reasons for standing. Participating students proceeded to stand up during the first 10 minutes and last 10 minutes of each class period in order to show their support. Money raised is being donated to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), an organization working directly with those displaced by the conflicts in Syria. Ethan has lived in Hampstead about 10 years and previously lived in Wilmington. Most of his family has remained in the area for generations. He is interested in politics, astronomy, and most things related to science. Once he graduates from high school, Ethan is planning to go to college for astronomy or volcanology but he is still undecided. Some other things he enjoys are reading books, woodworking, and nature. Ethan’s awareness of his interest in human rights was heightened as the result of a

Topsail High senior Ethan Boswell research paper he completed during his junior year, and following a suggestion from one of his teachers. “For my research paper last year, my topic was Protests, Riots, and Revolutions due to the events that happened in Ferguson, Illinois and the protests that were going on in Hong Kong,” said Ethan. “I focused more on the political side, due to my interest in that field, but I am also interested in human rights and the wellbeing of the world. Looking back now, I wish the main focus of my paper had been human rights. At the beginning of my senior year, I had no real idea what to do for my final project. My English teacher, Mrs. Stuart, suggested that I join her club and run an event to help Syrian refugees, since they were affected by uprisings in the area.” Ethan pointed out some facts about the Syrian crisis. According to MercyCorps.org, more than four years after it began, the full blown civil war in Syria has killed over 220,000 people, half of whom are be-
lieved to be civilians. Families walk for miles throughout the night to avoid being shot at by snipers or caught by soldiers who kidnap young men to fight for the regime. More than 11 million people are currently displaced, and more than half of the country’s pre-war population of 23 million is in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. Ethan has several goals for his project, as well as for his own future. “My goals for this project are to earn a significant amount of donations for the refugees, and to educate my fellow peers on the lives and struggles of the people who are caught up in this crisis. I am debating about reaching out to local groups after my campaign at Topsail because I feel that so much more can be accomplished by the community as a whole. While I have not committed myself to a long-term program or joined any organizations, I have debated doing so far into the future. A goal in my life is to volunteer with Peace Corps,”

Just not the time to take a chance
“Not in my backyard” was a cry successfully used years ago in our county when folks in the east were looking at a landfill operation. It’s since been used time and again when issues of water quality, density, the environment, or quality of life seem to be threatened. The problem with “NIMBY”, as it’s often known, is that while no one wants certain things in their backyards (literally or figuratively), There may be a time for everyone wants the benefits offshore drilling in North that come with said objectionCarolina, but this just isn’t able development, whether it. Until then – voters and it’s more efficient disposal of politicians alike need to garbage or a more convenient firmly say again, “Not in shopping center. Local governments like the additional my back yard.” revenues produced in sales and property taxes. No one wants the problems, real or perceived, that come with such projects – but they usually come to be, and people adjust. NIMBY has become often associated with people who don’t want the same type of development in their backyards as they put in someone else’s, but in this case, everyone’s backyard could be in danger. Offshore drilling is the biggest dog on the block when it comes to NIMBY. There’s a better than average chance that huge amounts of natural gas and oil exist off the North Carolina coast. The southeast is a natural place to base drilling and pipeline operations, since we have two major ports with industrial capabilities, four- and six-lane highways with additional rights-of-way that could support pipelines, and any number of other factors that make our region attractive to companies that might spend billions in developing offshore fields. Advances have been made in the industry – many in the wake of the 2010 spill in the Gulf of Mexico – that give the industry the right to brag about its overall safety record. Demand for oil and natural gas are high, the political climates in the Middle East, Russia and even Mexico are not reassuring to investors, and the U.S. economy could skyrocket (and by extension, the local economy) if drilling were permitted off the Carolina coast. It all makes sense. But. Our coastline is fragile, and already stressed by development and pollution. Our local economies are dependent on tourist dollars, which are dependent on clean beaches. Fisheries require clean water, which is hard to maintain if there’s an oil spill like the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe in 2010. True – BP stepped up and is continuing to make amends for the Deepwater Horizon disaster. The nation and more importantly, the oil companies, learned a lot of hard lessons from that event. Better regulation as well as technology and better management are big steps toward preventing another such disaster. But can we be sure that the lessons learned in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere are being remembered? Can North Carolina rest easy, feeling confident that spills and blowouts like Deepwater Horizon are exponentially less likely to happen here? If our leaders in Raleigh and Washington can’t assure the public that the chances of a similar event here are significantly reduced – and prove their statements – then our state doesn’t need to dabble in offshore drilling. True, the equipment to be used here wouldn’t be the same square metal towers that ruin the view in the Gulf; industry executives say offshore rigs in North Carolina might not even be visible from the shoreline most of the time. Welcoming an entirely new industry is something North Carolina has used to its advantage before, starting with textiles and moving into technology. Companies find our state attractive in that we have a good labor force and a good quality of life; savvy elected leaders can parley that into a financial boom that would be a great legacy for our children and grandchildren. But can we risk the chance, miniscule as it may be, of a major disaster erasing five or ten years of our local economy? There may be a time for offshore drilling in North Carolina, but this just isn’t it. Until then – voters and politicians alike need to firmly say again, “Not in my back yard.”

Sven, Jules, Bruiser and Earl
We were just past the opening prayer at church Sunday morning when I had a sinking feeling. I knew, in my heart, that I’d forgotten a serious task before leaving home; Miss Rhonda had to work, so she left before I did. I grabbed the pastor’s hand, whispered an apology and an explanation, and may have violated most of the speed limits between church and home. Halfway there, I spotted two young men and a dog walking down the side of the highway. Both the fellows were carrying heavily-laden but well-balanced backpacks, and had the head-up, focused expressions of folks out for more than a Sunday stroll. Turned out that my concerns were for naught at home; after breathing a quick prayer of thanks, I thought of the two guys and the dog. A quick raid of the refrigerator turned up some apples, peanuts and a sample bag of dog food. The emergency rations from the truck were tossed in as well, and I proceeded back east, but at a more sedate pace. I found Jules and Sven (they’re brothers) and Bruiser (he’s the dog) near the Bear Bridge. They were more than willing to chat for a few minutes, leaning on stout walking sticks they’d picked up in the Smoky Mountains, at the start of their journey.

Jefferson Weaver heathen-esque) and I rolled on down, hoping to make it back in time for Lamont’s sermon, anyway. I didn’t. We as a nation were founded by wanderers. Prince Madoc, Leif the Red, that newcomer, Christopher Columbus, along with later Spaniards, Portuguese, Italians, and a smattering of Englishmen, felt a need to see what was beyond the horizon. The folks who were already here were wanderers, of course, but it was more of a matter of practicality than curiosity. They left trails made smooth by bare feet and moccasins, which were in turn pounded flat and hardened by stout boots and horse-hooves, then layered in sand and clay pressed between logs and planks, before people finally took seriously the invention of that cranky Scotsman, MacAdam. I mean nothing untoward for the folks who followed the wanderers, the town-builders and settlers and farmers. My own people, from what my genealogically-bent cousins and sister tell me, were about evenly split between those who put down roots and those who got nervous when they saw the smoke from their neighbors’ chimneys. I’m fairly sure that one or two of them who just sort of drifted away from the record books moved on when things got too crowded for comfort. Despite a yearning desire
to do, I never managed to go on a cross-country walk, a la Peter Jenkins or any of the lesser known walking writers. Jenkins’ first book, A Walk Across America, lit a fire in me, as did William Least Heat Moon’s own excellent journal of a journey (but Moon did cheat, driving a van). Work and school and other stuff got in the way, and whereas I’m not as old as Mr. Earl was when he began his “yondering,” my knees would be less permissive than any other responsibilities. I hadn’t thought of Mr. Earl for years, until I met Sven and Jules the other day. Mr. Earl was a dear friend of my father’s, a retired teacher and Baptist minister. One day, almost on the spur of the moment, he decided to go on what the Australians call a ‘walkabout’. With no destination except for a closer relationship with God, and little more than the clothes on his back, Mr. Earl went for a long, long walk. He was gone for months, which is a testimony to his faith in the biblical passage given to the disciples in Matthew 10: 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, 10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. I have no idea if he healed any lepers, raised the dead or cast out devils, but I do know Mr. Earl shared the gospel more than a few times during his journey. He worked, too, but he never really talked a lot about his adventures. Eventually he came home, a changed man, to a longsuffering Mrs. Earl, who likely kept him on a shorter leash thereafter. As I rolled on down the

I was an accidental tourist of sorts, carpooling to Quantico with my friends when they went north for business and pleasure. Knowing their potential path, I requested a ride to visit my Goddaughter who recently relocated there. I had no idea what an exciting adventure was in store. We started at the Marine Corps Museum; a place I did not even know existed. Our own personal tour guide, a retired Marine himself, beamed like a kid in a candy store as he narrated our tour through military history. I never thought or felt so deeply the courage and loyalty of our military service men and women prior to this experience. What a perfect precursor it was to my bicycle tour of the National Mall and monuments in Washington DC. This had been their plan, not mine, but after one full day with his daughter, my friend insisted I experience it too. We rose before the sun did, with a predawn drive through DC traffic, arriving at the Iwo Jima Memorial just in time to see the sunrise over the city. It was breathtaking, illuminating the sky in an orange and purple palette. The monument depicts a moving moment in World War II, and is dedicated to all U.S. Marines who lost their lives defending our country’s freedom. I found it fascinating, as I had just learned the significance of this symbol, seen video of the battle and the original flag the day before. And this was only the beginning. We boarded our bikes, cruised downhill and over the bridge toward images and monuments I had seen in only media. The sun sparkled brightly on the famous Reflecting Pool as we pedaled past the Lincoln Memorial in route to secure tickets to the Washington Monument. We cruised to the Capital Building, the White House, the Lincoln Memorial a museum and several war memorials, talking with tour guides and tourists along the way. I was amazed how many people come from all over the world to explore this iconic area. Seeing it all from the pinnacle of the Washington Monument was a major milestone and highlight of our trip; a panoramic plethora of history, nature, monuments, museums and majesty. Arlington cemetery was a fitting finale for our fun filled day. Acres of white tombstones lined in rows for as far as the eye can see offer tangible evidence of countless fallen heroes. The guarded site of the ‘unknown soldier’ was a solemn place where pride was palpable. Though it delayed our departure, it was well worth the walk. I had no idea how much we would enjoy exploring our nation’s capital on bicycles. My feet screamed for flipflops when we finally returned to the truck. Road weary upon reaching the island after midnight, our monumental trek was complete. My friend was right; this is an adventure every American needs to embrace.

Newsings & Musings
By Edith Batson Post & Voice Staff Writer Home again Home-what a beautiful word. The saying “there’s no place like home� is definitely true. I was sick at the NC Blueberry Festival but did not realize I was dehydrated. The huge cup of sugary lemonade tasted delicious, but I did not know it was the worst thing I could drink. Sugar is not the answer, but water is. After being admitted to Pender Memorial for a few days, being transferred to New Hanover Regional Medical Center for a few days, when most everyone thought I would not make it, I was transferred back to Pender Memorial. After being in the two hospitals for five weeks Edith drove from Ruston, LA to take me to her house to recuperate. In my head I thought I would stay two months, but my stay lasted two months and ten days. Stephen drove the 15 hours to Ruston on Thursday, we visited and packed up his truck, and headed back at 3am on Saturday, arriving home about 8 p.m. Nothing ever looked so good to me as my old farmhouse in the country. On Sunday morning I though I’d be too tired to go to church, but I seemed refreshed by then so off I went. Everyone gave me such a warm welcome that I was very humbled. Once more I must say how very much I appreciate all the cards, visits, flowers, and most of all the prayers that everyone sent up for me. God heard them all because He let me live to get back home again. Edith is a commissioned Ruling Elder (formerly called a commissioned lay preacher) and her congregation told Edith to stay here as long as it was necessary. Without her constant care and looking after my progress-or lack of it at times, I don’t think I would have made it. She and Stephen, my grandchildren, and great grandchildren

were very attentive to me, as well as friends who helped out. God truly blessed me through the entire ordeal. Staff at both hospitals were very attentive and helpful. Thanks to everyone. My boss, Andy Pettigrew, and wife Katie were good to me and said my column would be waiting for me. Stephen kept my little dachshund Chloe and brought her home on Sunday after a bath. It was good to have her back home with me. Goal One of my most pressing goals was to go to the Messiah this year, so that goal helped push me to get well. Edith, Joe, and my daughter Katherine were tough taskmasters, seeing that I walked with the walker, would not let me have any salt, and kept trying to fatten me up. I said I looked like one of the inmates in the WWII concentration camps, but I am eating and picking up some weight. Enough about me. With Messiah practice, Thanksgiving, and Christmas coming up, all of us will be busy with many activities. Forums Don’t forget to attend to Candidate Forum scheduled at Surf City Welcome Center Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. for the Surf City and Topsail Beach municipalities. It is being sponsored by the Pender-Topsail Post and Voice. The Burgaw municipality forum is scheduled for Oct. 29 at the Burgaw Depot and is also sponsored by the Burgaw Area Chamber of Commerce. Plan to attend the forums and meet the candidates for whom you will be voting. Voters can submit written questions. Each candidate will have an opening statement and answer questions by the moderator. It is important to know where the candidates stand on issues. Halloween Halloween will be coming up next Saturday, and we want everyone to be safe as they trick or treat. There are several haunted barns or houses for your Halloween fun. Just take flashlights so cars can see little ones in their costumes. Go only to houses where you know the residents or houses that have lights on. Several churches, I think, are having special entertainment. Just be careful, say please and thank you, and be safe. Happy Halloween. Surprise visitors On Saturday, my great niece, Katie and her husband Tyler and almost two-year-
old daughter Lake visited me after calling to see if they could come by. They were in Wilmington for a day or two and live in Pennsylvania. My house is in such a mess after my long absence that I took them to the living room, which was respectable and not too cluttered. Lake had a great time finding Cabbage Patch dolls that Edith and I had made years ago. She also found Care Bears and other stuffed animals that she moved from chair to chair. Ada and Margaret Shaw had given us three or four children’s chairs and a very old rocking chair that Lake discovered. Nothing would do but she had to pull it into the middle of the floor and rock the babies in it. It was very old and I was afraid it would break. But no, it was as sturdy as could be. Lake is probably the only child who has sat in it since we received it from the Shaws soon after we moved to the country in the 1970s. What a joy it was to see the two-year-old trying out all of my old dolls, teddy bears, and other old things. And what a joy to have the three of them pop in for a wonderful surprise visit. Another surprise It must be hunting season. Tommy came with a deer stand in a trailer. He had made it and was taking it to the field nearby. Katelyn and Jacob were excited to be helping him set it up. Tommy said that now one can hunt on Sunday. I was not too happy to hear that. He called on Sunday and said that Katelyn and Jacob had seen four deer in the field. Every time I hear a gunshot in the fall I rush to the house. They sound too close for comfort. Fall One thing I love about the Fall in Pender County is looking at the bountiful wild flowers-the yellow daises that line the highways. Some people call them weeds and a nuisance, but I love seeing them. They do multiply rapidly but watch them and enjoy God’s handiwork. Bad news makes news Isn’t it sad that only the bad news seems to make the news on the radio and TV? It is full of earthquakes, drownings, murders, and other bad things. Our hearts ache for the school children who died in a stampede trying to escape the horrible earthquake. Then there is the strange way political campaigns are being conducted. Hopefully some good news will come
to explore (and if the world should last so long, they’ll likely be saying the same thing in two more centuries.) I doubt there is a lack of destination so much as a lack of determination. With the wealth of information available at the click of a few buttons – coupled with a lack of judgment, knowledge or wisdom – it’s a wonder that folks even walk from one end of a mega-retail store to the other anymore. We have GPS systems
that may or may not work, digital maps on telephone screens, and direction calculators that discourage us from wondering what’s down that side road, or over that hill that’s a little off our approved, efficient, meticulously timed route. It’s too dangerous, some folks say; I don’t have the time. I have too many responsibilities. I have too much work to do. I have bills to pay. What would the neighbors say?

Choosing a good nursing home Dear Savvy Senior, Can you give me some tips on picking a good nursing home for my mother who has Alzheimer’s disease? I’ve been taking care of her at home, but she’s gotten to the point where she’s too much for me to handle. Overwhelmed Daughter Dear Overwhelmed, Choosing a good nursing home for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease is a very important decision that requires careful evaluation and some homework. Here are some steps that can help you find a good facility and avoid a bad one. s-AKE A LIST There are several sources you can turn to for referrals to nursing homes in your area: Your Area Agency on Aging (call 800-677-1116 for contact information); your mom’s doctor or nearby hospital discharge planner; or friends, family or neighbors who may have had a loved one in a nursing home. Ideally, the nursing homes should be close to family members and friends who can visit often, because residents with frequent visitors usually get better care. s # O M P A R E N U R S I N G HOMES To research and compare the nursing homes on your list, use Medicare’s nursing home compare tool at medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare. This tool provides a 5-star rating system on recent health inspections, staffing, quality of care, and overall rating. You should also contact your local long-term care

ombudsman. This is a government official who investigates nursing home complaints and can tell you which ones have had problems in the past. To find your local ombudsman, call your Area Agency on Aging or see ltcombudsman.org. s#ONTACT THE FACILITIES Once you’ve narrowed your search, call the nursing homes you’re interested in to verify that they have a dementia unit that can facilitate your mom’s needs. Also, find out if they have any vacancies, what they charge, and if they accept Medicaid. s4OUR YOUR TOP CHOICES During your nursing home visit, notice the cleanness and smell of the facility. Is it homey and inviting? Does the staff seem responsive and kind to its residents? Also be sure to taste the food, and talk to the residents and their family members, if available. It’s also a good idea to visit several times at different times of the day and different days of the week to get a broader perspective. Also, find out about their staff screening (do they do backg round checks) and training procedures, staffto-patient ratio, and the staff turnover rate. To help you rate your visit, Medicare offers a helpful checklist of questions to ask at medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare/checklist. “Several of our people still fire with wood,� he said, “and we’re a natural gas company, now.

Print these lists from your computer and take them with you on your visit. s0AYING FOR CARE With nursing home costs now averaging $250 per day nationally for a private room, paying for care is another area you may have questions about or need assistance with. Medicare only helps pay up to 100 days of rehabilitative nursing home care, which must occur after a hospital stay. Most nursing home residents pay for care from either personal savings, a long-term care insurance policy, or through Medicaid once their savings are depleted. The National Clearinghouse for Long-Term Care Information website (longtermcare.gov) is a good resource that can help you understand and research your financial options. You can also get help from your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), which provides free counseling on all Medicare and Medicaid issues. To find a local SHIP counselor visit shiptacenter.org, or call 800677-1116.

Red Ribbon Week comes to Cape Fear Elementary By Kacey Wrench, CFES UNCW Student Intern Photo contributed
A nonprofit organization Cape Fear Elementary School teacher Marie Radcliff (above right) attended the Science Olympiad Coaches clinic called the National Family in Raleigh.
Science Olympiad news from Cape Fear Elementary By Dr. Chris Wirszyla Cape Fear Elementary School Teachers from Cape Fear Elementary School travelled to the Science Olympiad Coaches Clinic in Raleigh for a full day of workshops Oct. 16. According to the lead teacher for the CFES team, Marie Radcliff, the clinic was very informative and gave great insight on how to run a quality Science Olympiad program, based on
the Common Core and Essential Standards. CFES is in the Division A for Elementary Schools and will have their annual event in April, at Heidi Trask High School. Ms. Radcliff explained the Science Olympiad club will engage students on hands on, active Science , with 19 events that target students different interests. She said some of the more
popular events are the Marshmallow Catapult, where you have to adjust the catapult to get it to sling your marshmallow a certain distance, not just how far you can fling it; the 321 Blast-Off, which are water rockets; and the Pasta Tower, where you build a tower to support the most weight possible with the least amount of actual pasta. Hey, I would add a meatball, but that’s just me. The other coaches for CFES
are Ms. Goodwin, Ms. Cain, and Ms. Yount, and the program is open to fourth and fifth graders. Ms. Radcliff said that while it is a lot of work, she has personally built connections with parents and students at a higher level than before she started the program. This is important as Community Connectiveness is an important part of the CFES School Improvement Plan.
I[W Jkhjb[ >eif_jWb D[mi By Karen Sota Turtle Hospital Special to the Post & Voice It’s hard to get anything turtle related past our Director, Jean Beasley. She not only has eyes in the back of her head but has them on her phone (via our security cameras) and she monitors those at all hours of the day and night. That’s why when we started planning a surprise party for her 80th birthday we had to resort to subterfuge and acting as if we had absolutely no knowledge of this important milestone. But behind the scenes plans were a-foot for months. We’re pretty good at planning and organizing, but we had to rely on her family for the most important part of the plan – keeping her occupied the morning of and then coming up with a plausible reason for toting her to the hospital on a Sunday afternoon. But how to keep things under wraps during the set up with all those darn cameras broadcasting our every move? (For the record, a few black plastic bags blocking the feeds from strategic areas did the trick.) Nevertheless, it didn’t stop Jean from calling every fifteen minutes to ask “whose car is parked by the side door, why is Jessie out in the front yard and what is Beth doing covering the windows in sick bay?” We’re not proud, but we did what we had to do: everybody lied. More than 200 invited guests packed the halls a little before 2 p.m. awaiting Jean’s arrival.

Surf City Mayor Zander Guy proclaims Oct. 18 Jean Beasley Day in Surf City. To say she was stunned when she walked through the door is an understatement. We’re just happy she survived the surprise without going into shock. After positioning her in her director’s chair the line to congratulate her snaked through the hall as the hungry crowd mingled, plates loaded with great food and deserts, catching up at one of the very few times we are all together. After being fed and loaded with sugar the real fun began. Surf City mayor Zander
Guy presented Jean with an official proclamation declaring Oct. 18 as Jean Beasley Day. And then it was time for the Board and members of the planning committee to share Jean lore. Everybody has a Jean story, and being the center of attention and not knowing what your closest associates were going to say about you may have been a little nervewracking for our guest of honor. For the record, we did keep it all PG. Of course the smart phone
cameras were getting a real workout, and everybody also had a chance to pile into a photo booth wearing their choice of funny accessories for a photo strip pinned to a board so Jean could remember who came: she is 80 after all! Knowing that Jean would definitely not want presents we asked that everyone consider making a donation toward the purchase of the number one item on our hospital wish list – a portable untrasound machine. From all the donation cards pinned onto another
Partnership created the Red Ribbon Campaign in 1985 to help concerned parents raise awareness about drug prevention. Since this campaign began, it has touched the lives of millions around the world. This campaign was created when Enrique Camarena, a Drug Enforcement Agent, was kidnapped by drug dealers and killed. The Red Ribbon organization was created in his honor to promote awareness, advocacy, and provide resources about drug prevention. Today the Red Ribbon Celebration is still educating our youth and encourages participation in drug prevention activities. Cape Fear Elementary school students and staff fully participated in this Campaign board it looks like we’re well on the way to our fundraising goal of $30K. All in all we can proclaim the day a rousing success. However, Jean did say that now that she knows what a big bunch of liars we are she’s not going to believe anything we tell her going forward. We’d like to thank all the businesses who so generously donated and/or gave us greatly reduced prices on their services: New York Corner Deli, Surf City Florist, Sugar Island and Redd’s Photo Booth. Can’t call it a year - yet Through the valiant efforts of our turtle project volunteers we were able to save the few nests still incubating as hurricane Joaquin headed our way. But at this writing we have two hold-outs, both greens. And with the precipitous drop in temps we’re a little scared. That trip from the nest to the surf in the cold and wind is going to be quite treacherous.

Topsail takes top 3A spot in conference
Big first half leads Pirates past South Brunswick By Lee Wagner Contributing Sports Writer On a night when a Homecoming King and Queen were crowned at halftime, and a long-time – an generous – sponsor in the form of the Jason Bermann-owned Access Glass was honored for its contributions, the Topsail High School football team made sure the action on the field ended the celebratory evening with positive vibes. Senior running back Justin Smith ran for 102 yards and scored three times, classmate Drew “Deuce” Gaither added 106 yards and a score, and freshman D. J. Montano closed in on a 1,000-yard season with 155 yards as Topsail defeated visiting South Brunswick 52-25 on Friday in Hampstead. The win allowed the Pirates (5-4, 2-2) to clinch the top 3A slot in the upcoming NCHSAA state playoffs by virtue of its victory over the 3A Cougars combined with an earlier 14-13 win over 3A West Brunswick (5-5, 2-3). Topsail all but put the game away with
“We’re getting better, the program is getting better, the kids are getting better, and we’re getting close to where we need to be.” Topsail Coach Wayne Inman a strong first half where they scored 31 unanswered points while outgaining the Cougars (2-8, 0-5) 244 to 32 in yardage, and holding South to a single first down. “It was a pretty solid effort,” Topsail Coach Wayne Inman said. “The first half was strong offensively, defensively, and on special teams. Jorge (sophomore kicker Gonzales) made all his kicks tonight and, right before half, we were able to go to a hurry-up offense and get the ball down in field-goal range and make the field goal, and that was big for us. That’s something we haven’t been able to do in the past.” Topsail took control of the game on its first possession after a bad snap on a Cougar punt attempt gave the Pirates excellent field position at the South Brunswick two-yard line. Montano punched it in on the first offensive play from scrimmage.
It remained 7-0 through the first period but the Pirates exploded for 24 second-quarter points on a 12-yard run by Gaither, a two-yard run by Justin Smith, a two-yard run by Joshua Smith, and Gonzales’ 26-yard field goal with 2.5 seconds remaining in the first half that made it 31-0 after the first 24 minutes. Topsail took the second-half kickoff 65 yards – the first play a 49-yard run by Montano – ibn three plays – finishing the drive with a Justin Smith 19-yard run – to increase the lead to 38-0. Topsail made a few changes from there, and it created some miscues that opened the door a bit for South Brunswick. “We put another center in and that caused problems,” Inman said. “We only ran about three plays after that (first second-half drive), and I think we got a little flat. “I told the kids they have to learn how to finish. But after they scored on three consecutive possessions we answered back and burned the clock up.” To their credit, the Cougars did not-

In My Opinion
By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer
With two weeks left in the high school football season not counting the playoffs, two of the three Pender County high schools are not expected to make the playoffs. Both Trask and Pender are 1-8 overall and 0-5 in conference play. They each play a powerhouse this week before facing off against each other in the final week of play. While this game may not mean a hill of beans in the conference standings, it will be huge for each team. I say let’s ramp it up a bit. The first thing we need to do is give it a fancy and exciting name. How about calling it the Pender Bowl? I know, I know. What about
Topsail? Well, Topsail is a 3A school while the Titans and Patriots are 1A schools in the same conference. Although they beat both teams, I can’t exactly throw a 3A school into the mix. It just wouldn’t be fair. In the week leading up to the game we should make a big deal out of the contest. Maybe we should have a cheer off between the two schools. I have an idea, let’s have a hot dog eating contest between the coaches. Both Pender and Trask have the unfortunate luck of being in the toughest 1A conference in the state in my opinion. How would you like to be a coach that knows that every year you will face Wallace, Clinton and East Bladen? That is enough to make a coach lose many hours of sleep during the season. The conference realignment will happen two years from now. Until then we need to pick our battles and make as much to do about the Pender and Trask matchup as we can. After all, this year it is their super bowl.
Soccer from around Pender County
By Lee Wagner Contributing Sports Writer Immediately after an ace by Topsail High School senior Marlee Marrotta hit the floor to give the Lady Pirates a 3-1 (25-21, 25-19, 23-25, 25-11) win over Union Pines in the opening round of the NCHSAA 3A state playoffs, a wild celebration ensure on the home end of the court, and in the stands. A normally-mild celebration often happens after any win – especially a playoff victory – but this one was even more special as it created a major milestone for Topsail Coach Hill Pearsall. The win presented Pearsall with the 300th (300-143) win in his illustrious 18-year career as the Lady Pirates coach, and every one of his players rushed their coach, wrapping him in in silly string. The smile on Pearsall’s face indicated he did not mind. “It’s fantastic, not only getting the playoff win, but No. 300,” Pearsall said. “We had a lot of people here, some of my former players were here, and for these girls I think it was something that was looming over the whole season. “I’m glad we got it done so now we can focus on the playoffs and set our sights on No. 301.” For the Pirate faithful, that hopefully occurred this past Tuesday when Topsail welcomed C. B., Aycock (11-10) to Hampstead. The Lady Golden Falcons defeated Webb 3-1 (2624, 17-25, 27-25, 25-19) on Saturday. The match itself wasn’t easy until the final game. The opener was tied nine times, the last at 20-20. Kills by Woods and Ford, along with a Lady Viking hitting error, opened a three-point split and an Angelica Biele kill finished off. Game two had eight ties but Topsail put together a threepoint surge to make it 16-13, maintained that lead through three service exchanges, then used a kill and a block by junior Victoria Elder and a kill by Woods in taking a 2-0 lead. The wheels came off a bit in the third game as Union Pines – aided by 14 unforced hitting errors by the Patriot girls – eked out a 25-23 victory. “We took the momentum into that third game and I felt we would take that game the way they were playing,” Pearsall said. “The fourth game they really turned it on, we had less serving errors, blocked a few

Kicker’s Corner By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Trask Titan soccer team has been a tough out for most of the year. Last week they won two matches including a 2-1 shootout win over Midway. The first match of the week pitted the Titans against East Bladen at their place.

a tough season. That prospect quickly disappeared as the Spartans scored on the first possession of the second half and cruised to a 24-8 win. “We were in a good position going into halftime,” said Patriot Head Coach Bob Via. “We came out a little flat in the second half and they scored that touchdown. We just didn’t answer that score. We need to learn how to deal with adversity. The score was 8-8. We just needed to do what we had done in the first half and we didn’t. We played pretty good on both sides of the ball in the first half. This was a game we should have won.” Both teams struggled to sustain any offense in the first half of the Four County Conference contest. The Spartans used their 300-pound fullback to pound the Patriots defense in the early going. Union took its first drive deep into Patriot territory before the Pats dug in and made a crucial stop on third down. Union attempted a field goal that was short and Pender escaped unscathed. The Patriots rode junior standout Justin Hooper for most of the game and the speedy halfback answered the call with success. The Pender County crew got its first break late in the first quarter when the Spartans fumbled the ball. Keshon Lanier recovered the football and the Pats were in business at the Union 16 yard line. However, three plays netted

The Pirates (1-11-2, 1-8) dropped a pair of conference matches, falling 7-0 to Laney and 5-0 to New Hanover, before beating South Brunswick 2-1 last Thursday. Down 1-0 against the Cougars after the first half, the Pirates got goals from Derek Bryant and Roberto Vasquez to take the lead in the second half. Goalkeeper Tyler Davis made the lead stand up with nine saves. Pender split conference tilts last week including a 5-1 win over West Bladen. Later in the week the Pats dropped a close match with a very good Union. The big match of the week will be the Patriots at Trask in a rematch of a game in which Pender won at their place.

Patriot quarterback Jake Rawls looks for an open receiver downfield. seven yards and a Matt Ezzell field goal missed its mark. Pender scored late in the first half on a five-yard run by Hooper. The Patriots put together a 35-yard drive that featured seven Hooper runs. The two-point conversion was good and the Patriot faithful could feel the excitement in the air as the student body prepared to celebrate homecoming. Union had ridden their big fullback in the first half and went back to him to open the second half. He answered with runs of 21 and 13 yards on their first possession of the second half. The Spartans took just five plays to march 62 yards to score. The ensuing two-point conversion was good and the game was tied. The Patriot defense an-
swered the score in a positive way to begin with. Another Spartan field goal attempt failed and the score remained knotted up. Hooper intercepted a Spartan pass late in the third frame and the Pats were in business deep in Union territory. However, a fumble on the first play of the drive seemed to let the air out of the Patriots sails. It took Union three plays to score following the fumble and the Pats were trailing for the first time in the contest with 9:58 to play in the game. Hooper took the ensuing kickoff and burst up the middle for 55 yards, setting up the Pats at the Union 40 yard line. Pender could not capitalize

The regular season came to an end for the girls’ golf team and the boys’ soccer team won once and lost twice in their quest for a 3A state playoff slot, but the Pirates’ girls’ tennis squad won their opening NCHSAA 3A playoff match and their top two singles players advanced to the 3A state meet with high regional finishes, while the boys’ and girls’ cross-country tuned up for their 3A regional meets with strong showings in the Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference meet as their championship hopes stay in focus. Cross-Country The boys’ championship in last Thursday’s Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference meet came down to which team’s sixth runner crossed the finish line first, and that allowed 4A Hoggard to edge Topsail after the two talented teams tied 55-55 after the first five runners were counted. Viking Will Schneider finished at 22 in securing the Hoggard victory while Topsail’s Eddie Wofford finished at 29. “I’m just numb and I don’t really know what to say,” Topsail Coach Wayne Rogers said. “Three years ago we were a 2A school and we went to the
beast’s (Hoggard) home course and almost walked away with the title. It’s unbelievable to be that close and not win, but it is what it is.” Hoggard’s Snider Robinson won the race in 16:25, closely followed by Pirate Trent Pyrtle (16:35). Ear ning All-Conference first-team honors by virtue of top seven finishes were Pyrtle and teammate Chad Campbell (4, 16:37). Earning second earning and honorable-mention honors were Domenik Dibiase (10, 17:17) and Jackson Moore (13, 17:22). The Topsail girls finished fifth (136) behind Laney (35), Hoggard (45), New Hanover (60), and South Brunswick (122). There was no team scoring in the junior-varsity races but Parker Surratt (18:56), Isaac Rexrode (20:41), Cesar Flore (20:43), Connor Starrett (21:02), Jacoby Wahler (21:18), Cody Qurollo (21:21), and Joshua Creek (21:51) for the Topsail boys, and Rebecca Tulloch (24:29), Alexis Rash (24:59), Mary Claire Farrell (25:44), Kaylee Adkins (26:33), Summer Gales (30:22), and Ava Dibiase (30:51) for the girls all ran personal-best times.

Football Preview
By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Trask will be at home this week while Pender and Topsail are on the road. All three county teams will face formidable opponents this Friday night.
Pender at Wallace-Rose Hill Oh boy. Have I said that lately? This is a game that Coach Bob Via should have circled on his schedule, or maybe erased. Wallace lost to James Kenan early in the year. That upset the big Bulldog Joey Price and he has not let his team forget it. They have won six in a row including a 51-13 win over East Bladen last week. This is one of the faster
Tough week for Pender teams
Wallace teams that I have seen. They are led by senior Johnnie Glaspie’s 1,058 yards and 7.4 yard a carry efforts. The Bulldogs average 278 yards a game rushing. More importantly, the Bulldogs have a killer instinct. Pender does not play the run well. They have problems with power backs. Although the Bulldogs are a team built on speed they can run inside behind a strong offensive line. This will be a big problem for the Patriots. Pender has its own playmaker in Justin Hooper. However, he will be hard pressed to get outside on the Wallace defense. In fact, Patriot quarterback Jake Rawls may be hard pressed to even be able to hand the ball off. The Pats may be forced to go to the pistol formation for most of this game. Speaking of Rawls, he may want to wear a flak jacket, or maybe two. He will be running for his life. Much like Trask, the Patriots will be in protection mode. They will hope to get
out of this game with everyone healthy so that they can concentrate on beating the Titans.
Trask hosts Clinton Oh boy. At the beginning of a season you look at your schedule and try and count wins and losses. As Trask Coach Johnathan Taylor looked over his schedule at the beginning of the year you can’t help but wonder if he tried to scratch this game off of his schedule. No matter how hard you try and find a positive outcome in this game, there is none. The Dark Horses are a big time 2A school playing a struggling 1A school. Clinton has not given up a point in three games. There last three wins are by a combined 130-0. To put this
game in perspective, the Dark Horses beat Midway 38-0 and the Titans lost to the Raiders 64-28. The Titan offense has shown some improvement throughout the year. Tyrease Armstrong can throw the football and he has a fine stable of receivers to throw to. However, the Dark Horse defense can play with any team in the state at any classification. The Titan defense has struggled to stop the run this season. They gave up over 500 yards of offense to Midway including over 400 yards on the ground. Clinton is averaging over 300 yards a game on the ground and junior Ryheem Skinner has averaged 13.3 yards a carry while amassing 1333 yards and 14 touchdowns. He averages 166 yards a game. This is not good. This is a game that the Titans should go into protection mode. They need to come out of this game as healthy as possible so that you can begin to prepare for what will be their playoff and super bowl
in the game at Pender on the final Friday of the regular season. The Titans only hope is that the Dark Horse bus fails to crank before they leave Clinton High School. Realistically, this is a very bad matchup for the Titans. No score.
Topsail at New Hanover The Topsail Pirates beat South Brunswick to secure the 3A spot out of the MEC last week while New Hanover shut out Ashley 34-0. The Pirates used their depth at running back to wear down the Cougars. Freshman D.J. Montano led three backs with 100 yards or better. That is the Pirates strength, running the football. New Hanover presents problems for the Pirates. The Wildcats are as athletic a team that the Pirates have or
will face this year. They rely on a potent running game to run over and around people. Topsail will have to try and control the Wildcats running game. That means that the Pirate defensive front will have to play a physical game. Teams such as the Wildcats tend to cause the Topsail defense problems. The Topsail defense is getting better but they have yet to face a team such as the Wildcats. Look for Coach Wayne Inman to give the ball to Montano and see what happens. Fullback Drew Gaithers is another back that may fare well against the Cats. Everybody in the tri county area knows what Inman wants to do. He will run the football. His Pirates are getting pretty good at that. This is a tough game for the Pirates. Things get even tougher next week with a date with Hoggard. These Pirates will not back down. They have built some confidence and will give the Wildcats their best shot. It may not be enough. The score: 38-13.
Midway runs away from Trask 64-28 By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Trask Titan football team is well aware of the pitfalls that are associated with playing in perhaps the best 1A/2A conference in the state in the Four County Conference. That is little consolation as they have to face the likes of Wallace-Rose Hill, Clinton and East Bladen on a yearly basis. You can add Midway
to that list this year as the Titans traveled to the Raiders place and came away with a 64-28 thrashing. Midway jumped out to a 20-0 lead before its home crowd behind a potent rushing attack that the Titans failed to slow down for the biggest part of the night. The Titans answered with 21 second quarter points but the Raider offense continued to roll. The score was 34-21 Mid-
way at the half. Trask pulled to within a touchdown early in the third frame but the Titan defense could do nothing to stop the Raider ground game. Midway reeled off 30 points after the Titan score early in the third period to take the win. Tony Holmes led the Titans ground game with 84 yards while sophomore quarterback Tyrease Armstrong was 6-12 for 57 yards including
two touchdowns and two interceptions. Seniors Michael Stroman and Johnathan Jordan each had touchdown receptions for a Titan offense that tallied 177 yards of total offense. Hunter Westbury led the Titans defense with eight tackles while Holmes added seven stops. Trask, (1-8/0-5) will host 2A powerhouse Clinton on Friday night.
Pender volleyball avenges loss to Titans By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Pender Patriot volleyball team knew coming into their return match with Trask that this may be the team’s final match of the year. Coach Matt Davis was disappointed in his teams play in the first matchup and was looking forward to the rematch. Coach Davis’ Patriot spikers lost the first set but came back to win three in a row including a hard earned 2624 win to close the match out. The scores were 19-25, 25-14, 25-15 and 26-24. Caroline Peterson led the Patriots with 11 assists, four aces and two digs
while Lakirah Forney had six kills, one block, two aces and one dig. Imani Newkirk tallied eight kills, three aces and nine digs while Alex Gorsky had five kills including points 25 and 26 in the final game, along with two digs. The Patriots were in a rebuilding mode for the first time in years but Coach Davis complimented his young ladies on their work ethic and outstanding effort throughout the season. “We obviously didn’t have the wins this year that we’ve been accustomed to in the past. We had a lot of young girls and girls that had not played much until this year
and it took us a while to get our legs under us. The girls did everything that I asked of them without complaint, believing that it was what was best for the team. I switched up our lineup and system multiple times which didn’t really set up the team for success because it seemed every time they turned around I was changing something, but they never wavered. They continued to show up and give everything they had in whatever they were asked to do. “You may have expected a certain amount of complaining or discourse given our struggles on the court, especially considering our past
success, but that was never the case. This is a testament to the quality and character of the girls on this team. No complaints about playing time, about study hall, about anything. Any fault or shortcomings found in this team was mine. We will be returning nearly our entire starting lineup next year and they’ll have that experience that was lacking this season. We won’t change much. We will still schedule difficult teams. We will continue to do what we do. We will just do them better.” Pender finished the year 4-18 overall and 4-10 in conference play.

Chung a two-sport standout for the Trask Titans By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer When the 2015 football season started the Titans were lucky enough to have some returning players on both sides of the ball. One of those players was junior offensive lineman, linebacker Joseph Chung. Mr. Chung is one of those players that resemble the old school type of player. He works hard and is often found during the game with a spot of blood on his jersey or mud on his face. He plays hard and gives his team 110 percent on every play. Chung’s best sport may be wrestling where he made his mark last year for the Titan grapplers. With football coming to a close, look for Joseph Chung to make the switch to wrestling look easy. There is no doubt that junior Joseph Chung will make his mark on the mat this year. He is a two sport standout for the Trask Titans.

White the best of the best at Topsail High By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer When the Topsail Pirate basketball team takes the court this winter under the tutelage of first year coach Andrew Ellington, there will be one thing that has been a constant over the last three years. Keri White will take the floor and will once again become the motor that makes the Lady Pirates roll. Miss White has become the go to player for the Pirates. She sets a great example for the younger players with her hard work and intensity on and off the court. Keri White epitomizes the phrase student-athlete. She does the work in the classroom as well as on the athletic front. Although her best sport is softball, White has made her mark on the basketball court as well. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Keri White is the best of the best at Topsail High school.

Williams set to take over as top Patriot By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer As a freshman on the Pender Patriot men’s basketball team, Jarious Williams and the word potential was often mentioned in the same sentence. As s sophomore he started to realize that potential but still had a lot of growing to do on the hardwood. Entering his junior season, Jarious may well be the man that the Patriots look to in tough times. He could be the player that takes that important shot or makes that big defensive stop. He has worked hard to get to that place for the Patriot cagers. Jarious has the ability to play both ends of the floor. He is a good defensive player but hangs his hat on his offensive skills. When the Patriots begin the season, Jarious Williams will be at the forefront for the Pender County team. He is set to take over as the Top Patriot.

TOWN OF BURGAW PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED The Town of Burgaw Board of Commissioners will hold the following public hearings on Tuesday, November 10, 2015 at 5:30PM in the meeting room of the Burgaw Municipal Building located at 109 N Walker Street in Burgaw, NC. 1. Consideration of an application for a conditional use permit for an alcohol and/or substance abuse treatment facility to be located at 126 Worth Beverage Drive.
By Bill Howard Post & Voice Columnist Don’t mess with Texas. That is a popular saying both in the Lone Star state and across the country. There is a good reason for it as evidenced by my recent whitetail hunt there. After seeing more bucks in one morning’s sit than I may see in a season anywhere else, the promise was good for the first afternoon hunt of the two days. Texas was/is in the midst of a long dry spell and the days were sweltering. The activity is much different than where I am used to hunting. There, you do not have to anticipate a cold spell to increase movement as they are on the move always. We m e t u p w i t h M at t ‘Chewy’ Linton, before the hunt and worked on setting up a new box stand for future hunters during the weekend. Chewy and I were friends on social media due to kayak angling, but had never met in person. You never know the stories of people until you are able to really get to know them, and Chewy was a pretty interesting person. I knew he was instrumental in kayak angling in the state of Texas, especially towards the central and western part of the state. It didn’t surprise me he was a deer hunter since he was an outdoorsman. What I didn’t know was he was a former bassist for 3 Doors Down and Ember. As much as I thought of Chewy prior to meeting him, I was even more impressed afterwards. After getting a bit of rest Bobby, Chewy and myself headed back out to the land. I was hunting the same area and had bow, arrows and camera in hand. Bobby and Chewy drove to a different section and were going to try to down some wild hogs if they presented themselves since gun season was not in for deer yet. It only took about 30 minutes for me to spot a couple of does and fawns come out to my right. I fired a few shots, from the camera not the bow. I knew it was easy for deer to

A nice buck steps out in the open in the Texas hill country. sneak out into the open without realizing it so I kept all my movements slow and smooth, and moved my eyes before moving my head. That was a good decision and skill. To my front left I spotted a buck peaking from around the brush. I could not make out which buck it was or how big was the rack. The buck was not looking at me though. He was fixed on the four deer I had been taking photos of. I was able to get a couple of photos of him before knowing this was a shooter. I quietly placed the camera behind me to avoid any disturbances. Just as I did, the buck began to walk away from the cover. It was a nice eight pointer. Based on best calculations I figured he would net around 110 according to Pope and Young. Not enough to make book, but something I knew was a shooter based on what Bobby and I had went over and would have been my largest taken with a bow. My issue was going to be getting set and drawing the bow without my movement being caught. The buck continued forward moving from my left to right. As he did, the four deer to my right worked their way further and further away. Directly in front of me in the stand was an evergreen that should offer me enough cover to draw the bow as the deer passed on the other side. I just needed to hold long enough for
him to get in the open. It worked exactly as I envisioned it. I stood, turned my body and drew the 70 lbs without notice. I waited as he walked and approaching where the four deer stood prior. All I needed was that one pause in his stride. Then it came. He stopped and stuck his head to the ground for a sniff of the landscape. Thirty two yards was what I estimated to be the distance based on previous scans with a rangefinder marking various rocks, plants and markings. Just behind the crease formed by the front leg with the thirty yard pin set firmly above where I thought the heart would be located. These moments are the ones that you become what you are. I cannot remember breathing in and then releasing half the air in my lungs. I cannot remember moving my forefinger from behind the trigger release to the front side. I cannot remember applying the slightest touch which in turn sent a 100 grain razor donned broadhead attached to a 28 inch arrow at over 300 feet per second. I do remember seeing the arrow’s fletching spinning towards the deer and disappearing as it passed through his reacting chest. I waited there in the stand after carefully observing the direction he ran. I bowed my head giving thanks for the opportunity and praying for as quick and painless of a death as could be for my prey. A few

minutes later I pulled my camera back up, zoomed in with the 300mm telescopic lens, and spotted my arrow a couple of yards from where the deer was standing moments prior. I was able to see the fletching of the arrow coated in red along with the ground nearby. In bowhunting, you have what is the first hunt and the second hunt. The first hunt is where you get to take the shot. The second hunt is after you take the shot. It was now time to start trailing blood during the second hunt. –Bill Howard is a lifelong North Carolina resident and hunter.

Continued from page 5A southern living.” Mike swept his arm across the display. “From here over are totally residential. They come in three different sizes, modular, queen and oversize. The modular is pretty much the old ‘standard’ brick, the first size brick ever made, then they went into making an oversize brick and then what they call a queen size, a bigger look, used on most residential products. Modular bricks are more commercial based, or smaller projects based on cost. Modular, if you’re not layin’ more than six or eight thousand, is your cheapest option, less material, cheaper to transport, doesn’t cost as much, costs less to manufacture.” “I would think that if you used a smaller brick, you would have to use more of ‘em,” I chimed in. “You do, the but the price is so different. You’re talking anywhere, say, $250 a thousand, you know, seven bricks a square foot, and then you’re lookin’ at $350 a thousand, versus five and a half a square foot.” Seeing the different tex-

Coastal Land Trust acquires land on N.E. Cape Fear River in Pender County The North Carolina Coastal Land Trust announced that on September 21, 2015, it completed a series of transactions which resulted in more than 1,000 acres along the Northeast Cape Fear River in Pender County being set aside for conservation. “It’s hard to imagine a remote floodplain forest this vast, with its tall trees and lush undergrowth, home to black bears, otters, wood ducks, bats and prothonotary warblers, so close to civilization,” said Camilla Herlevich, Executive Director of the Coastal Land Trust. “This property is only two miles from Interstate 40 as the crow flies. But getting there means a five-mile bumpy ride on a soil road. Even then, only real adventurers will want to slog through these swamps and wetlands. The good news is that wildlife won’t have any trouble continuing to find their way to this beautiful tract.” The tract is 1,067 acres of bottomland hardwood sloughs, cypress-gum swamp, beaver ponds, and upland mixed pine hardwoods along over 2.5 miles of the Northeast Cape Fear River. Strategically located, the property lies west of the expansive Angola Bay Game Lands, owned and managed by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, and abuts over 2,300 acres of privately-owned
land already under conservation easement to the Coastal Land Trust. The Northeast Cape Fear River has been a focus for the Coastal Land Trust since 1999, when the Thomas Family donated a conservation easement over 1,200 acres at its Five Eagle Partners Farm. Five Eagles Farm is also located on the river, and is the location for the Coastal Land Trust’s popular Field Day and Oyster Roast fundraiser in early spring. With this new project, almost 9,000 acres on the Northeast Cape Fear or its tributaries, primarily in Pender County, have been protected by the Coastal Land Trust. Funds for the purchase of the new 1,067-acre tract came from grants to the Coastal Land Trust from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and from the organization’s most generous private donors, Fred and Alice Stanback of Salisbury,. The Coastal Land Trust pooled its resources with the owners of the 2,300-acre protected property to the south to make the purchase. As a result, the Coastal Land Trust ended up with a new 526acre nature preserve along the river that it will own and manage; its conservation partners own the remaining 541 acres, which are subject to a conservation easement that prohibits development.
tures and colors, I asked, “The surface treatment, does that add cost?” “Certainly. Any time you add anything it increases the manufacturing cost.” Mike points to a plain red brick, “This is our basic brick, a lot of people call it the ‘school house’ brick or architectural brick. That’s a ‘red smooth’ with red mortar. Look at these two bricks, they look different, don’t they? But mortar makes up 20% of your wall, and these are actually the same brick but different mortar.” Mike explained the different ways bricks are formed and the surface treatments applied, and then we came to the last sample. “Ah,” I said, “I never did like those. They’re hard to clean.” “That’s called a ‘scratch brick’ and masons don’t like ‘em either. Unless you get a perfectionist out there, you’re going to have to clean them (to remove excess mortar from the scratch grooves).” Mike told me about ‘pointing’, shaping the mortar between the bricks. “A normal rounded joint, a ‘vee’ joint, there’s concave, there’s ‘grapevine’, there’s ‘raked’ joints, very unique, something like a roller skate wheel goes in there with a nail type device in it to rip it out, the mortar joint sits back in, and makes shadows. McDonald’s and Pizza Hut use it a lot.” Mike showed me other bricks, too. “These are from Pine Hall, Statesville, Lee Brick, Old Carolina, they’re all American owned and operated. We represent Boral, the largest brick manufacturer in the world, and Hanson, Centurion,” and he swings his arm
across the expanse of the show room, “and we have manufactured stone, very popular, every house now has a strip of this across (man made stone of ‘random’ size), Marshall Stone.” Seeing the yard full of bricks, and equipment, I asked about distribution. “We distribute most of our brick orders straight from the plant. We have a driver here for our local deliveries. If your order is in by 1:30 today, and the product is available, you’ll have your order in two days.” “And your sales staff ?” “It’s me, and Tate Marks, who’s been here for two years.” “It’s fun, with the homeowners coming in doing their outdoor projects. It’s a great business, with repeat customers, a lot of loyal customers. We might not always be the cheapest, but we to try to provide the best service and expertise in our industry.” “We are family owned and operated, and a true American manufacturer. We’ve been in business since 1919.” “My wife teaches in Pender County school, and our son goes to Topsail Elementary.” Mike Hayden’s roots seem as well connected to the earth and region as his business is. Nothing is more fundamental than the common brick, the clay and earth, the first man made construction material that is as durable as the earth itself. His connection with the J. L Anderson founded American brick manufacturing company completes the train of events begun with his first shovel of mortar mix, working with his father constructing masonry works on the Potomac River.

A pair of five-point runs opened a 20-9 advantage. Union Pines made it back to 20-11 but two kills by Ford, a ball out of bounds by a Viking, and a pair of aces by Marrotta set off the celebration. “I think they were struggling a lot with serve/receive but they really stepped it up a notch in that third game,” Ford said. “Then our front line just really started playing together. This feels great, not only the win, but getting Pearsall’s 300th win. “I didn’t really realize we had his 300th game until Haley (Woods) told me on the bench, and I almost started crying.

Continued from page 8A give up down 38-0. Realizing they could not run the ball against the stout Pirate defense, South Brunswick went to the air and senior quarterback Robert Wilkins (19-for-31, 189 yards, two touchdowns) connected on 11-of-17 throws, throwing scoring passes to Raymond Bowens (seven yards) and Keyshawn Jenkins (10 yards). A three-yard scoring run by Robert Watkins made it 38-19 but Justin Smith and the Pirates answered with a nine-play, 65-yard drive – Smith’s 20-yard run accounting for the touchdown – to open the lead to 45-19. “It felt great to be out there and to be able to contribute,” said Smith,, who has backed up Montano most of the year.

on the 19-yard line following the punt. On the first play of the possession Spartan halfback Montrell Williams took the handoff inside and raced 81-yards for the score. The two-point conversion

gardless of the sport. He really helps you, and will do anything he can to maximize his skills. I am so happy for him.” Two keys to the win were shutting down Union Pines senior Stephanie Johnson (13 kills, 4 blocks) and getting Ford (7 kills, 4 blocks) going. “We know we have to get Madi the ball and it’s a matter of how well we pass on the serve/receive,” Pearsall said. “We wanted to get as many points as we could with their big girl (Stephanie Johnson) on the back line so I though t we played well against her.” Another milestone occurred for the Lady Pirates as Marrota, their outstanding senior Libero, had 20 digs in the game, giving 506 digs for the season. The Lady Pirates were busy earlier in the week as they solidified their position as the second-best team in the Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference by reaching the finals of the first-ever conference tournament, but unfortunately they ran into a team that
proved why it was the conference’s No. 1 team and Topsail fell 3-0 (25-15, 25-19, 25-13) to a talented Hoggard team. “I thought, as well as we hit last night (Tuesday), we hit as poorly tonight,” Pearsall said. ‘I don’t think our front line did enough to keep us in the games. There were a lot of balls we needed to get to and get some swings on. They (Hoggard) played well but I don’t think we gave them enough to worry about on the front line.” The Lady Pirates opened play in the conference tournament with a hard-fought 3-2 (25-18, 25-12, 19-25, 14-25, 15-9) win over Ashley (10-9, 4-8). It was Topsail’s eighth fivegame match this season. Topsail easily won the first two but regressed in the third and fourth games before bouncing back to win game five.” I don’t know what happened, we got so fired up in the first two games and I think we just expected to win the third game because we dominated in the first
two,” said Mar rotta, who had a remarkable 34 digs on the night. “Definitely after the fourth game we got fired up again. Payton does such a good job of firing all of us up and that’s why we won, we had that fire.” The second round saw the Lady Pirates record a surprisingly-easy 3-0 (25-19, 25-20, 2518) win over 4A-playoff bound New Hanover (14-7). “I think, after their ninestraight points, we were
“It’s what you work hard for all week. “Being the top 3A seed is exciting, we worked hard for this since January. It’s my senior year and I have to go out with a bang.” Cougar Josh Carter returned the ensuing kickoff 80 yards for a score to make it 45-25 but – again – Topsail answered. This drive was a 48-yard, seven-play drive that sophomore quarterback Jacob Floyd finished off with a threeyard run. The final two Topsail drives consumed 8:40 of the fourth-quarter game clock. “We’re getting better, the program is getting better, the kids are getting better, and we’re getting close to where we need to be,” Inman said. “We still have a way to go but I’m proud of these kids and these coaches and these parents. This is a great place to be right now.” Topsail travels to Legion Stadium this Friday to face
the powerful Wildcats of New Hanover (7-2, 4-0) before closing the regular season at home against Hoggard (5-4, 3-1) on Nov. 6. They then await their playoff foe for what will most likely be a home game.
The week belonged to Topsail volleyball coach Hill Pearsall. The veteran coach won his 300th match and was rewarded with a huge celebration by current Pirate players. In his 18 year career at Topsail Pearsall is 300-143. Although this column is reserved for players, Coach Hill Pearsall is deserving of being named the top performer.
Saturday at Red Creek Middle School in Battleboro. Girls’ Tennis Lady Pirates Car men Jordan and Caroline Harris finished second and third, respectively, last Saturday in the 3A regional meet on the campus of Barton College on Wilson. After defeating Swansboro’s GraceAnne Parker (6-0, 6-0) in the first round, Jacksonville’s Alexis Henderson (6-0, 6-0) in the second round, and Clayton’s Megan Dyuer (6-4, 6-4) in the semifinals, Jordan lost 6-0, 6-3 in the finals to Eastern Wayne’s Elizabeth Sutton. Harris beat Fike’s Morgan Norfleet (6-0, 6-0) in the first round and defeated Swansboro’s Jayden Davis (6-2, 6-0) in the second round before dropping a 6-0, 6-3 decision to Sutton in the semifinals. Harris bounced back in the consolation match, beating Dyer 7-5, 7-5. The Topsail doubles-team of Sierra Dougherty and Sara Major lost 2-6, 6-2, 6-1 to C. B. Aycock’s Kassidy Pitchfork and Cassidy Coerner in their first-round match. Jordan and Har ris advanced (top 4 individuals and top four doubles teams) to the 3A state meet this Saturday at the Burlington Tennis Center. Earlier in the week only darkness prevented the Lady Prates (13-20 from defeating first-round 3A playoff foe West Guilford (9-9) 9-0, but they did prevail by an 8-0 score at home on Tuesday (10/20). Led by Jordan (6-0, 6-4) and Harris (6-0, 6-1), Topsail won all six singles matches. From No. 3 through No. 6, Topsail had Stephanie Athanas (6-1,
thinking we needed to stop their No. 8 (Alyssa Gowdy-11 kills), she was going crazy, but we finally got her out of her grove: said Junior Kaylee Kyle.], who had 20 service points and 14 digs in the win. “I think we started to play together as a team, started to click, and all of us were talking to each other and going to our defense, yes we got burned a few times, but in the end we pulled it together.”
7-6 (7-4), Xueyang Li (6-1, 6-0), Dougherty (6-0, 6-1), and Elvie Parra (6-0, 6-0) all record victories. Jordan and Harris teamed up to win at No. 1 doubles (8-4), and Dougherty and Major won 8-1 at No. 3 doubles. Athanas and Li had their match suspended due to darkness. Next up for the Lady Pirates team was a road trip where they will travel to face Union Pines (12-1) this past Tuesday. Union Pines advanced in the first round with a 9-0 win over Cedar Ridge (8-9). Boys’ Soccer The Pirates (1-11-2, 1-8) dropped a pair of conference matches, falling 7-0 to Laney and 5-0 to New Hanover, before beating South Brunswick 2-1 last Thursday. Down 1-0 against the Cougars after the first half, the Pirates got goals from Derek Bryant and Roberto Vasquez to take the lead in the second half. Goalkeeper Tyler Davis made the lead stand up with nine saves. “Our biggest struggle i s p ay i n g t o g e t h e r a s a team, Topsail Coach Courtney Burghardt said. “We have so much individual talent and we are working on that coming together.” To p s a i l w a s o n t h e road last Tuesday at West Brunswick, and are now awaiting whether they will qualify as the No. 2 3A team out of the conference for the 3A state playoffs. Girls’ Golf Topsail’s Danielle Parks shot a 102 at the 3A regional held at the Wedgewood Public Golf Course in Wilson Oct. 19, and teammate Angela Linehan shot a 118 but neither score allowed either Lady Pirate to advance to the 3A state championship, thus ending the Lady Pirates’ golf season.

5K race remembers Topsail Student By Lori Kirkpatrick, Post & Voice Staff Writer The Meaghan Clark Memorial Scholarship 5K Road Race and One Mile Fun Run will take place at Topsail High School Nov. 24. Registration will begin at 9 a.m. and the race will start at 10. The nonprofit fundraising event will support both the Meaghan Clark Scholarship and the Topsail High School Music Department. It is held annually in honor of Meghan Clark, who was 16 years old when she fell ill to the seasonal flu and died only a few days later on Nov. 6, 2009. Meaghan was a devoted student, musician and daughter. The Scholarship Fund’s mission is to provide scholarships and encourage future musicians and scholars from Topsail High School to pursue their dreams. In honor of Meaghan, the Pender C o u n t y Health Department will be offering a flu shot clinic at the race. It will be av a i l a b l e to participants and non-participants, and is free for children with or without insurance and to adults with insurance. Adults without insurance can receive a flu shot for $30, payable by cash, check or credit card. For those who cannot afford the shot, it will be paid for from the scholarship fund. The road race and fun run is set to provide participants with an inspiring atmosphere in Meaghan’s honor. Packet pick-up and on-site registration will be held Nov. 13 from 3-6 p.m. Shirt sizes are guaranteed to those who register by Nov. 6 and extra shirts may be purchased for $5. This year’s shirts were designed by Emily Woodrich, one of Meaghan’s closest friends. Emily was one of the first recipients of the Meaghan Clark Memorial Scholarship award. After graduating from Appalachian State with a degree in graphic design, she presented the design as a gift in memory of Meaghan. Thomas Clark, Meaghan’s dad, spoke of his motivation for the timing of the race. “The event is held at this time of year because we want to raise levels of awareness about the dangers of the seasonal flu. Meaghan, her brothers and my wife received their flu vaccines every year. I did not. I felt it was unnecessary. I had had the flu and other viruses growing up, and back then we just survived them. In 2009, there was a shortage of flu vaccines and they weren‘t available to low-risk groups. Everyone in the family was healthy, and most of Meaghan‘s classmates were not eligible,� said Clark. One weekend, Meaghan went to an annual band competition. When she came home Sunday, Meaghan and a num-
ber of classmates had come down with coldlike symptoms. By Wednesday, she felt bad enough to stay home from school. Her dad was on the road, working in Tennessee. On Thursday, Meaghan told her mom she thought she should see the doctor. She was scheduled for an interview for Governor’s School that day, and tried to reschedule the appointment. She was told that they were unable to reschedule, but she could reapply the following year. Being the trooper that she was, Meaghan decided that she would go to the interview and see the doctor afterwards. The doctor decided to admit
her to the hospital as a precaution, due to decreased oxygen levels. Meagan’s mother stayed with her in the hospital, and it was a difficult night. By Friday morning, Meaghan was being prepared for a respirator. Her father rushed home from Chattanooga, but his daughter had already passed away before his arrival that evening. “The reason I tell that story is I want people to understand the flu virus is not something that only touches the elderly or those with weakened immune systems. I think that year, there were 3,600 pediatric deaths, and a large percentage of those were healthy young people. I have also become aware of a huge amount of incorrect information and misunderstandings about flu vaccines. The vaccine is not just to protect yourselves, but to protect others. You may not think you need it, but what about your neighbor’s granddaughter, or your pregnant daughter-in-law? I don’t want people to feel as though I am pushing the vaccine on them. What I am saying is they should talk with a medical professional about it, particularly their primary care physician who is familiar with their health,� said Clark. Fo l l o w i n g M e a g h a n ’ s death, the family received donations from many different sources. Someone suggested a scholarship fund that would also support the music prog ram at Topsail High. “The music department is where Meagan found her home. It became a very close-knit family and very close to our hearts. Our first group of recipients graduated last spring.
Our ultimate goal is for the scholarship to become selffunding, and another goal is to get enough funds to make it a four-year award,� said Clark. Scholarship recipients for 2015 were Ian Taylor and Peyton Wulff. Previous recipients include Rachel Spillane, Jessica Woodard and Caroline Tobin in 2014; Jaime Verteramo in 2013; Hannah Griffin and Caitlyn Demetrious in 2012; Daniel Far mer in 2011; and Emily Woodrich and CJ Cornette in 2010. It was apparent that educating people about the dangers of the seasonal flu is a priority for Meaghan’s f a m i l y. “The flu shot is available if they are willing to get it. I h ave b e e n getting the vaccine every year. Do I need it? I don’t want to find out. I don’t want anyone else to have to look back and say, ‘what if...’ I don’t know if it would have saved Meaghan’s life, but I don’t know it wouldn’t have either,� said Clark. Topsail High School is located at 17445 Hwy 17 N in Hampstead. To register for the race, visit its-go-time.com/ meaghan-clark-5k/.

Turn, O Lord, save my life; deliver me for the sake of your steadfast love. Psalm 6: 4 Here is a prayer for a person in great anguish, a person who feels the burden of God’s disfavor in his life. Here is a prayer that seeks some grace in the midst of a troubled soul. I believe Psalm 6 describes a person who is under the burden of guilt. The psalmist feels the weight of God’s wrath, suffers physical pain and emotional trauma, and seeks holy presence and release. Here is a person in trouble – in trouble with God, in trouble with himself because of some grave sin in his life. T h e r e s p o n s e o f g u i lt moves through seven stages and is perhaps the same for most of us when burdened
with guilt. First there is the sense of G od’s a nger a nd the fear of God’s rebuke (v. 1), followed by the physical mani festations of our anguish, anxiety and guilt... weakness, trembling and fear (vs. 2-3). The turning point of the psalmist’s dilemma comes in verse 4, the prayer cited above. T he ca l l for g race comes earlier (v. 2), but the call for deliverance, the cry for mercy li f ted up here, lifted up in any believer’s heart is the first step in one’s journey out of guilt. The trial is not over, however, not completely. There is no quick fix, no sudden transformation. It takes time It i s not i m me d i ate. T he psalmist ref lects this with three more struggles which arise from the experience of guilt: the fear of death (v. 5), the groaning and tears (v. 6), and the shock of sorrow and grief (v. 7). But then in the end comes

psalmist knows, intuitively I believe, that God is with him in his struggle; God forgives him his transgression; and God can lift the burden of his guilt. Wit h a ssu ra nc e c omes also the victory. The powers that be and the people who torment shall be turned back, struck down and put to shame. Their power, like the power of the guilt, has been broken. The key that unlocks the grace, the key that relieves the guilt – the key that opens the door on God’s presence and peace is of course God’s love. For the sake of his steadfast love, God will not forsake us – if we are guilty or not.

the relief, the release. In the end comes the assurance and the victory. The Grace of God comes in the assurance that “The Lord has heard my supplication; the Lord accepts my prayer.� The Lord in fact accepts every prayer from a sincere and seeking heart. God may not always answer prayer in the exact way we expect. As a friend of mine is fond of saying, there are three possible answers to prayer: Yes, No and Wait. The grace comes not so much in the specifics of the answer as in the sense of God’s presence and forgiveness and grace in one’s life. We can bear almost anything if we know we are cared for, forgiven and loved. The

The weather was perfect and all the smells delicious. I think everyone enjoyed their favorite treats and got to see beautiful flowers, interesting crafts and a huge watermelon and pumpkin. I know everyone was quiet and sleepy on the drive home. It is a great day of outdoor fun but it is a lot of walking. If there are other day trips you might be interested in – please let me know. We still have some space on our Dec. 8 shopping trip to Myrtle Beach. Geri-fit at Topsail and (ERITAGE 0LACE HAS BECOME very popular.

November is such a beautiful month because the air is crisp and Mother Nature is painting the beautiful drop cloth of this fall season. It is also a special month because we honor millions of men and women serving now as well as in past years, in our Armed Forces. When did Veteran’s Day begin? On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as “the Great War.� Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, Nov. 11 became a legal federal holiday in the
United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars. At 11 a.m. every Nov. 11 there is always a special ceremony held at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington DC. All branches of the services join together to commemorate our unknown heroes. 2360 IS PLANNING A SPECIAL RECOGNITION FOR OUR 2360 volunteers that are serving again. They have already served their country and now ARE VOLUNTEERING WITH 2360 and serving again. Many are serving a homebound veteran through our #OMPANION 2ESPITE PROGRAM our Meals-on-Wheels program, or our Call-Care program.
A breakfast will be held in HONOR OF OUR 2360 VETERANS AT OUR MONTHLY 2360 0ERKS meeting the first week of November. We cannot thank THESE 2360 VOLUNTEERS ENOUGH and ask the community to praise them when you come in contact with them: Edward !COR N $AVID !R NOLD 2AYMOND "ECKER ,INDA "ENJAMIN +IRK "INNING ,EO #APPS "OB Gribble, Essie Grover, Callie (AG ANS ,AR RY (ILGEMAN %LMER (ODGES "RYANT (UFFman, James Kearney, Wesley ,INTON "ILL -ESSER -IKE -ORgan, Jim Mullins, Bill O’Brien, Cliff Patten, Bob Peek, Van 2EID %DDIE 2IVENBARK -ARIlyn Taylor, and Earl Williams. )N ADDITION 2360 HAS TWO UNCW interns working with us that are also veterans – ,ISA #HAMBERS AND -ICHELE Tidd.

A Trip To Vermont By Anna Eubanks On Monday morning we met at the bus. The good Lord sprinkled all of us. Lydia was a little bit late. It was almost 7:00 before we left the gate. David was driving, it seemed so right. He had Glenda his wife to sleep with at night. 39 women with different colors of hair. They have their roommates with them there. 4 aging men, tall, fat, chubby or thin. Sure glad to have their spouses with them, Frances and Betty were the first to eat. Roger and Ann sat in the front seat. He helped and watched out for all of us. We all love Jennifer, she felt all alone. Becky and Bella had to stay at home. Pam probably is a little bit sore. Twice this week she fell on the floor. It rained and rained and rained some more We heard it was flooding out NC Shore We went to the Teddy Bear Factory. Where little teddy bears are cut and sewn. Several people took several home. Dirty Dewey was on the bus. He was teased and loved by all of us. We all want the restroom and something to eat. So off the bus we patted our feet. To get a drink and wait in line, a commode can just take one at a time. Ask Margaret how many cinnamon buns she can eat. We visited the beautiful Von Trapp Estate. The cemetery, beautiful flowers were picture to take. We went to the dining room and ate. The Ethan Allen boat ride and three course meal. When we got up to walk it made us reel. Friday night to the Shady Maple we went. All that wonderful food, spread out to eat. We all pigged out and if we lived closer by again we would eat. Shady Maple Smorgasbord. Evelyn takes good care of us. She is the last one to get on the bus. Back to good old Pender we go. We don’t have hail, we don’t have snow. But an ugly old Hurricane has sent ashore. Inches of rain and wind and sore. The good Lord sent blessings on all of us. We hope to tour again next year on a bus.
