Topsail Beach revises town dog ordinance

Young entrepreneurs

By Barbara Hazle Contributing Writer

By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher One new tenant has signed up to use the Burgaw Incubator Kitchen and another is in the process, according to Burgaw Planning Director Rebekah Costin. “We have a start up business that will not be in the kitchen full-time. The tenant that we have is intending to use the kitchen once a week and the other that is working on the process would be in several times a week,” Costin said. “Our last tenant left last fall, so it has been a few months with no one using the kitchen.” Costin says those interested in using the Incubator Kitchen can check the town’s website, www.townofburgaw.com for information on the Incubator Kitchen. “The website outlines the process to begin using the kitchen. A lot depends on what type of product you are interested in producing. We allow products that are approved through the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and also some products that are per mitted through the Pender County Health Department,” said Costin. “Most depends on what they want to do. If they have questions they can either call me or see the checklist on the website.” Burgaw Taco Bell progress Costin says the Burgaw Taco Bell is making progress in it’s move to begin construction. “They have updated all their construction documents and they are scheduled for the Sept. 8 Burgaw Commissioners meeting for a public hearing,” Costin said. “In the conditional use process, if they can meet the standards and the ordinance requirements, the board is supposed to approve their application.” Bojangles to open in September Bojangles officials are expecting an opening of the Burgaw location in early to mid-September. The 3,800 square-foot restaurant will seat about 75 customers and will be open from 5 a.m. until 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 5:30 a.m. until 10 p.m. Sundays. The restaurant represents a $1.7 million investment and will create about 50 new jobs.

Operating a lemonade stand is a time-honored summer activity for kids. This group in Burgaw was raising money for their school, Providence Preparatory Academy in Wilmington.

Revisions to the Town of Topsail Beach dog ordinance created lively discussion and public comment at the August Commissioners meeting. Topsail Beach Commissioner Larry Combs spearheaded the revisions to the Town’s dog ordinance at the meeting. “There seems to be a blatant disregard for the dog ordinance particularly by visitors,” said Combs. Commissioner Combs shared the story of being with a town police of ficer while patrolling the beach for violators. “When the police officer approached, the male of the couple scooped up the animal and the wife proceeded to go inside to get $25 in cash to give to the officer. She knew what the fine was and she knew exactly what the officer was there for. They waited until the officer went north, then came back past them and again the dog was off leash, and stayed that way all week long,” Combs said. “Most people who come to the beach with a dog understand we have a leash law. This is not an education issue. We need to make the fine hurt. I think we can

Major travel route in western Pender County

New Cape Fear Hwy. 11 bridge could be open by Labor Day By Jefferson Weaver Contributing Writer The new Blackrock Bridge over the Cape Fear River could be open by Labor Day. “The contractor has said Aug. 27,” said Rusty Marsh of the N.C. Dept. of Transportation. “At this point in a project this size, you can have weather delays or any number of other problems, but it could very well happen. We expect to have traffic on the new bridge just before or after Labor Day.” The bridge, located near the extreme southwestern Bladen-Pender county border, is a primary route for commuters and tourists. HRI Bridge Construction, a national firm, has handled the multi-million dollar project. Work began last week on paving the new stretch of roadway on the east side of the bridge. Blackrock and its companion at Tar Heel were the last remaining steel truss bridges in the area. The replacement project on both bridges began in 2011, but for several years, motorists and fishermen reported being able to see through the roadway on the Blackrock Bridge in extremely hot weather. Built in 1954, the N.C. 11 bridge was con-

structed when fewer than 100 logging trucks per week followed the route to the Riegelwood paper plant, built in 1951. According to DOT traffic counts, 3,900 vehicles per day go through the junction of N.C. 11, N.C. 53 and N.C. 210, four miles northeast of the river. On the Columbus County side, 5,300 vehicles per day go through the N.C. 11/N.C. 87 intersection, a short distance from the Blackrock Bridge. Roughly a third to half of those 9,000-plus vehicles cross the Blackrock Bridge. The steel bridge and the Tar Heel spans are considered architectural landmarks. Blackrock is featured in a number of online and print travel guides, and has been featured in a number of movies and television programs. The steel bridge replaced a ferry that had been in operation since colonial times. The ferry and later, the narrow steel span bridge, were capable of transporting small trucks going east and west, but most traffic had to make a wide swing through Wilmington or Elizabethtown to cross the river. The bridge was called the most modern crossing in the state when it was built,

get peoples’ attention.” Commissioner Combs called on Police Chief Sam Gervase for input. “We wrote 55 tickets in July, and about the same number in June.” said Gervase. “It is no secret our fines are very low. I think $100 would be adequate, fair without being overly punitive and there are a couple of places the ordinance could be finetuned. One is the leash length – 20 feet is adequate, and the leash has to be attached to the owner’s hand, not just dragging in the sand.”

The dog ordinance was unanimously amended to increase the civil citation to $100 per incident, and specifies leashes must be “in hand and not greater than 20 feet in length” during the peak season of May 15 to Sept. 30. During public comments resident Betsy Johnson noted that these revisions were not applicable in the marshlands, on the sandbars or in the off season. “Thank you for revising the dog ordinance. I am pro dogs on the beach, but I have seen leashes the length of ski ropes, and I appreciate that unleashed dogs are still allowed on the sandbars.”

Pender-Topsail Post & Voice, Thursday, August 20, 2015, Page 3A

Topsail beach imposes watering restrictions By Barbara Hazle Contributing Writer The Topsail Beach town commissioners voted at the August 12, 2015 council meeting to implement a new lawn irrigation schedule effective immediately through Sept. 30. “It’s not the water, we have water. The problem is getting it. We are using so much water all the time that we’re overworking our pumps,” said Mayor Howard Braxton. “We’ve got to slow down a little bit so we’re not overworking our wells. It is not the fact that we are in danger of not having enough water, not at all, unless we over work those pumps, those wells and one should go out on us or two, then we’ve got a problem.” He went on to say that he is amazed at how many lawn systems are watering especially while it is raining. Commissioner Mor ton Blanchard noted that Topsail Beach was hooked into the Surf City water system primarily for firefighting purposes and as an alternative which could be used in an emergency situation. Kurt Polzer, the town’s public works director, was primarily concerned with one well located on the southern stretch of the island that ran above and beyond it’s legal allowed run time last summer. “That’s the one that concerns me.” said Mr. Polzer. “That being said, I have altered the run schedule with the wells at north end of town to take off some of the load. There are lots of homes using the town water system for sprinkling and I would like to stop that, personally. Our drinking water should come first. It’s just something down the road we need to look at.” Unanimously the town commissioner’s approved the

following watering schedule for any irrigation systems connected to the town water system or for manual irrigation (above ground hose and sprinklers) during the peak months starting immediately and effective from May 27 to Sept. 30 each year with a complete ban on watering July 2-8 annually. All property owners north of Davis Ave. can irrigate during the hours of 2-4 a,m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday only. All property owners south of Davis Ave. can irrigate during the hours of 2-4 a.m. on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday only. All in-ground irrigation systems using town water must have rainfall cut off sensors installed, or must be manually shut off to prevent watering during active rainfall within any assigned irrigation time and day. Manual watering with town water for owners without inground irrigation systems is restricted to two hours per day using the same addressing system described above. Any manual watering must take place between 5-10 a.m. during these assigned days. Weekend residents who must manually irrigate their lawns are allowed to do so on Saturday or Sunday from 5 -10 a.m. for a maximum of two hours. Commissioner Julian Bone reminded everyone that the policy does not affect property owners who have or who are able to get shallow irrigation wells. There will be a $50 civil penalty for non-compliance, “However, right now we are in an education process, and we will reevaluate at the end of September.” said Braxton.

Boy Scouts from Burgaw hiked the New Mexico wilderness through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

Local Scouts trek through New Mexico wilderness A crew of teenage Scouts and their leaders recently completed a life changing summer trek through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico. Philmont covers 214 square miles of vast wilderness with trails that climb from 6,500 feet to as high as 12,441 feet. During their trek Boy Scouts from the Cape Fear Council hiked over 80 miles. The group of Scouts and their advisors carried everything they needed to survive during the trek on their backs while hiking from camp to camp. They participated in backcountry programs along the way including rock climbing, rappelling, shooting .50 caliber black powder muskets, blacksmithing and gold prospecting. The trek included a conservation project where the Scouts learned and participated in the upkeep of Philmont’s ecosystem and trails. Along the trek, Scouts endured tough challenges including back-

packing in bear and mountain lion territory, steep climbs, and often-inclement weather. Crew leaders for the trip were Adams Hobart, an Eagle Scout from Troop 212 in Wilmington and Amos Lanier, an Eagle Scout from Troop 242 in Burgaw. Other scouts taking part in the trip were James Dawson, Lucas Fucili, Nathan Harrell, Finch Hobart, Anderson King, Jason Loher, Alex McGowen, Landon Pierpan, Connor Schlaline, Robbie Schlaline, Wit Tinsley. Adult advisors taking part in the trek were Daryl Chambers, Kent Harrell, Frank Hobart, Paul Mason, Hap Pierpan and Mark Tinsley. “They may meet only one other group of Scouts on the trail in an entire day of hiking,” according to Backpacker Magazine. “Even in the most crowded destinations, each Scout group camps in isolation, out of sight and sound of all other groups.” The crew made what amounts to a Scouting pil-

Surf City pilot receives FAA approval to fly drones By Bill Messer Post & Voice Staff Writer Section 333 of the FA A Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) grants the Secretary of Transportation the authority to determine whether an airworthiness certificate is required for a UAS ( Unmanned Aircra ft System) to operate safely in the National Airspace System (NAS). For several years, hobbyists have been operating small ‘unmanned aircraft systems’ (sUAS) commonly called drones, most often in the form of a four motor radio controlled quadcopter. Frequently, most often from not knowing any better, these small UASs have flown into FAA controlled airspace, risking collision with passenger aircraft, or ingestion into an engine, with catastrophic consequences. The rules require operators to keep their small aircraft below 400 feet in altitude, and not fly around airports, and fly for recreation, not commercial

Bridge

Continued from page 1A and was estimated to have a lifespan of up to 100 years. Improvements in roads, however, led to larger and more trucks than ran the area in 1954. Trucks and loads have tripled in standard size since the 1950s, and the old-style truss bridges are not designed to handle the weight of modern shipping. Hundreds of trucks pass over the bridge daily now, en route to N.C. 87, U.S. 74-76, and the paper plant complex. Both Tar Heel and Blackrock have been damaged nu-

use. Under the new rules, FAA Licensed operators (holding a valid pilot’s license) may petition the FAA for an exemption to the rules, to permit operation of a sUAS for commercial purposes.Todd Thomas of Surf City has received an exemption. Thomas is a FAA licensed helicopter pilot, has his own gyrocopter, and is now able to use his sUAS for commercial purposes. In the petition filed by Mr. Thomas, he says, “The requested exemption wou ld permit commercial operation of Todd Thomas dba Drone Pics sUAS’s, which weigh approximately five pounds. and performs aerial surveys and videography that consists of still photographs and videography taken by onboard cameras. The sUAS’s takes a series of high quality, still digital images and video that are used to promote real estate sales and survey in North Carolina. Additional aerial inspections/ survey applications may include construction job site monitoring, pipeline inspec-

tion and precision topological surveys. Thomas may be the first licensed operator in our area to be able to use his sUAS. Others have applied for and received their exemptions, but are not yet FAA licensed pilots. “To use your exemption,

you have to be a licensed pilot,” Todd explained. “I thought it was a pretty neat thing to do, and I knew that I would have an advantage, already having a pilot’s license.” Thomas has pictures and video examples, and contact information, on his Facebook page, Drone Pics.

merous times by over-height vehicles, with Blackrock being shut down last year after a trackhoe bent and twisted a main girder. State highway officials re-opened the Elwell Ferry, which was down due to high water, while the bridge was repaired, and shunted traffic to Elizabethtown and Wilmington. The replacement project is actually composed of three bridges, two on the causeway and the older model truss bridge. When the new span bridge is open, Marsh said, contractors will merge traffic from the current N.C. 11 roadbed on the eastern side of the river to the new bridge. The steel bridge

will then be demolished, and a modern span replacement contructed on much of the old roadbed. The new spans will be wider, Marsh said. Both the Blackrock and Tar Heel replacement bridges are similar to the Elizabethtown crossing, which replaced the steel truss McGirt Bridge. The entire Blackrock replacement project is scheduled to be completed in 2018. Builders had a number of additional challenges at Blackrock, notably the amount of wetlands in the roadway’s path, as well as several curves. “A lot of things can happen at this time of the year,” Marsh said, “but the contractor has

been working hard. This is going to be an excellent replacement when it’s finished.”

Slow down and give them some room Although the start of the school year is somewhat diluted these days, due to year-round sessions, home schooling and private institutions, one constant remains—school buses. It’s the time of the year again when the yellow coaches take to the road, and state and local officials are again encouraging motorists to take their time and pay attention. Buses don’t travel the speed Highway Patrol trooplimit, with good reason— ers will again be parit’s harder to stop the larger ticipating in ride-alongs vehicles at higher speeds, and at least half the time, they are this year, while troopers an other ofﬁcers will be full of our most precious, if on the roads looking for oftentimes boisterous, cargo. It’s tempting to pass a bus those who see buses as whenever it slows slightly, or merely a hindrance to the there’s simply an open lane day’s schedule. on the opposite side, but every year, students, bus drivers and other motorists are injured or killed due to unsafe passing of school buses. The state has properly begun cracking down even harder on school bus scofflaws; Highway Patrol troopers will again be participating in ride-alongs this year, while troopers and other officers will be on the roads looking for those who see buses as merely a hindrance to the day’s schedule. The penalties for improperly passing a school bus or otherwise endangering children and other drivers are severe, as well they should be. Most of the time, a bus is stopped because children are moving on or off. Kids are unpredictable, as any parent can testify. Even children who are good at following the rules sometimes stray. A car travelling at 60 miles per hour requires 120 feet to come to a complete stop. The average school bus is 40 feet long, a third of the distance needed to stop to avoid a tragic accident. As school gets underway, and the buses take to the road again, give the buses plenty of room, and give yourself a little extra time in the mornings and afternoons. Your brief inconvenience is far less valuable than the permanency of a child’s life and a family’s sorrow.

Chuck Maloney; master technician

Bill Messer For years, I’ve driven by something that caught my eye, Triple-T Truck Center, where Highway 210 crosses I-40 at the intersection. I had thought maybe I could drop by there one day and talk to an over-the-road trucker about what it was like to drive the big rigs across the country. What I found instead, thanks to General Manager Mike Lunsford, was an opportunity to talk to someone with up close knowledge of just what it takes to keep the big rigs moving, Chuck Maloney, Master Technician. “Let’s start at the beginning,” I asked Chuck, “Where were you born?” “April 12, 1956 in York County, South Carolina.” “I remember 1956,” I interjected, and laughed, “It was the last year before cars got tail fins!” Chuck got a laugh out of that, as I told him the importance and significance of tail fins, “I remember the ‘57 Ford, one of the best with tail

He didn’t want me to do for a livin’ what he had to do, he wanted me to do ‘better’, like engineerin’. I did go to two years of tech school, takin’ industrial engineerin’, which I got a degree in. But it didn’t take long to realize that the money was in the mechanical end, and that was in Rock Hill, SC. “I graduated from high school in 1974.

I started out in shipping and receiving, then moved out on the floor, got into puttin’ gearboxes on electric motors, more of the mechanical side jobs. “I was there for two or three years, and one of the customers came in and offered me a job, industrial maintenance, and from there went into plastics, Quincy Plastics, in Charlotte.

Newsings & Musings

By Edith Batson Post & Voice Staff Writer Invitation My granddaughter, Rachel, has been in Rwanda long enough to be taking her oath of service to the Peace Corps. A special reception is to be given to the new volunteers Tuesday, August 18 at the US Ambassadorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence Rachel had a special Rwandan dress especially made for the occasion. We congratulated Rachel on this new outreach of service with the Peace Corps. Tomorrow for me will be yet another physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment. Everybody seems to be working very hard at getting me strong and well again. My home health nurse told me I must use my walker inside the house and outside. My occupational therapist is a slave driver when it comes to breathing exercises. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, taking longer to breathe out because you are exhaling waste materials. Did you know that?

I did that until the businesses started closinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; down.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Was that when they started shipping all the textile production overseas?â&#x20AC;? I asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? Chuck answered, and then he really surprised me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the mean time, I had gotten my 100 Ton Master License.â&#x20AC;? Getting a 100 Ton Master License is not a trivial pursuit. This is a U.S. Coast Guard designation for an operator of maritime vessels, and the requirements for training and time in service are comprehensive and cover rules of the road, navigation, regulations, in short, everything for a commercial operator to assume responsibility for the lives and safety of others when operating vessels in off-shore, coastal and inland waters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this time, I went to work for Cape Fear Riverboats, Carl Marshburn. (Well known operator of the riverboat Henrietta III and the launch, Capt. J.N. Maffitt). I kindaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worked between there and Biblia Towing, in Savannah, Ga. We took barges pretty much up and down the east coast, Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s duties. We rotated, there were two four-man crews on the boat.â&#x20AC;? Unable to contain my astonishment, I exclaimed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no idea how you can

would take me. I guess the last time I went to church was the Sunday before the NC Blueberry Festival when all this dehydration started. Edith suggested I take a pillow for my back. Our church also has wooden benches, I am now aware of how hard they can be. My back felt a lot better with the pillow. I must say that wooden benches are the only kind I have known since I was old enough to attend church. It was good to be able to worship God in His sanctuary again. Of course it was a special pleasure to see my daughter officiating from the pulpit. She has been a licensed ruling elder at the Presbyterian Church of Ruston for ten years. Am I proud of her? You bet I am. Proud also of the gift that God has given her to use for His glory. She grew up around nursing homes and older people and has always been willing to help others. In high school she loved sports and played volleyball, basketball, softball and sometimes fit band in there too. I get tired just thinking about how many hamburgers I ate during those years. It was a long time before I would go to a fast food restaurant. I never did overcome my love for Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place hotdogs though. Bobbi Ives and I would get three hotdogs together and split the third one. Once was not quite enough and two were too many. Joe fixed some just a few nights ago with Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place relish on it! They always try to bring some back when they visit Pender County. Bay window As I sit here writing my column, I can look out of

a fine bay window. Always have I thought it would be my dream to have a bay window with a round table in front of it. Now I have two round tables and no bay window. Maybe someday. People must go by the house and say look thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a light in their dining room. They might see us at the table having dinner. Maybe they will think we should eat together more often as a family. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s try it. Time to eat Joe told me about a church that had a new preacher. The preacher noticed that two or three people walked out of church at 12 noon. One of the elders told the preacher that there would be about 40 people walking out next Sunday if he was not through. The preacher wanted to know what was so important that five or ten minutes would make such a difference. The parishioner said that the country club dining room closed at 12:30 and they have to be there early to get a good place to sit. I laughed when I heard that, but arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we all a lot like that? We start looking at our watches about 11:55 a.m. and sometimes think he should be saying the benediction by now or Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be late meeting my friends and I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a seat. Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that for putting things in perspective? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong with this picture? Remember the time Peter was preaching well into the night someone went to sleep and fell out of the window. Peter stopped his preaching, went outside, attended to the man, and went back inside and started preaching again. They were so anxious to hear Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holy Word that they were willing to listen all night. What would we do? Shalom!

possibly aim one of those tows (pushed, actually, from behind) made up of four or six barges.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key,â&#x20AC;? Chuck explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;especially in the Intracoastal Waterway, is to watch the tides, and your speed, and know that when you approach one of those bridges or hazards you time it for a slack tide. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter so much if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high or low, but slack tide with no current.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do you handle sudden high winds, like a thunderstorm?â&#x20AC;? I asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just keep your momentum up and keep going, if you feel safe. If you have to, you just push your bow up on the bank and hold it there with the engines.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you usually push? Or pull?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It depends. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inshore, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty much all push.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is it easier to work empty or loaded?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pretty much the same either way.â&#x20AC;? My own experience reflected lighter loads as being more maneuverable, but more subject to wind, and fully loaded, momentum helps track true to course, and I voiced my opinion and he agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What kind of loads did you work?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We carried bridge beams up to Sneads Ferry, from Savannah, concrete, and we did a trip up the Connecticut River, up the Chesapeake Bay, the C & D Canal, Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, to Philadelphia, just across the river from New Jersey, and they

loaded a big reactor containment vessel for a nuclear power plant. Our boat was too big to get all the way up the river to the power plant so they off loaded it and a smaller boat took over from there, and we came back empty.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you ever run aground? Chuck looked skyward in thought, and I remembered many times I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;technicallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aground, but definitely sliding through the mud, feeling desperately for the water that was supposed to be under the boat. He laughed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, not really,â&#x20AC;? and I understood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you sleep aboard, how do you sleep at night knowing somebody else is on the wheel?â&#x20AC;? Chuck let out a big laugh and nodded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much what got me into big diesel engines. You have to be able to take care of your own servicinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;? I started to ask Chuck about the transition over to truck service technician, and asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you prefer to be called technician or mechanic?â&#x20AC;? He replied that technician would be fine, and indeed that is a more accurate description considering the high-tech skills required to maintain and diagnose modern engines with electronic controls with the associated diagnostic equipment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to work for Southport Concrete as a fleet mechanic.â&#x20AC;? Next: heavy equipment

Saving money on medications

Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any tips to help me save on my medication costs? I currently take five different prescription medications that are very expensive even with insurance. Searching Susan

Dear Susan, There are actually a variety ways you can reduce your out-of-pocket medication expenses without sacrificing quality. Here are a few strategies that can help, whether you are covered by employerbased health insurance, a health plan on the individual marketplace, or a private Medicare Part D drug policy. s+NOW YOUR INSURANCE FORmulary rules: Most drug plans today have formularies (a list of medications they cover) that place drugs into different â&#x20AC;&#x153;tiers.â&#x20AC;? Drugs in each tier have a different cost. A drug in a lower tier will generally cost you less than a drug in a higher tier, and higher tier drugs may require you to get permission or try another medication first before you can use it. To get a copy of your planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s formulary, visit your drug planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website or call the 800 number on the back of your insurance card. Once you have this information, share it with your doctor so, if possible, he or she can prescribe you medications in the lowercost tiers. Or, they can help you get coverage approval from your insurer if you need a more expensive drug. You also need to find out if your drug plan offers preferred pharmacies or offers a mail-order service. Buying

Weaver

Continued from page 4A posterity. We concurred that it would be worth the risk--a shotgun loaded with buckshot might kick a little harder with an extra-full turkey choke, but the taxidermy bill would likely be low enough that the savings would buy a lot of ibuprofen. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve since read about drones being reported near airports, elementary schools, beaches and parks. I saw a State Trooper strongly discourage two guys from flying their drone in the middle of the median when they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into the scene of a tornado strike. I see the contraptions as a violation of privacy, an issue the courts are still discussing. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s readily visible from a public right of way like the road is, well, readily visible. Whether or not one has anything to hide or not is immaterial, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want a stranger blithely videotaping my farm, my backyard or anything else without my permission. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just weird.

your meds from these sources can save you some money too. s3WITCH TO GENERICS !SK your doctor or pharmacist if the medications youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking are available in a generic form or a less expensive brandname drug. About 75 percent of all premium drugs on the market today have a lowercost alternative. Switching could save you between 20 and 90 percent. s0AY FOR GENERICS YOURSELF Most generic medications cost less if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use your insurance. For example, chains like Target and Walmart offer discount-drug programs (these programs will not work in conjunction with your insurance) that sell generics for as little as $4 for a 30-day supply and $10 for a 90-day supply, while some insurance companies charge a $10 copayment for a 30-day supply. Ask your pharmacy if they offer a discount-drug program and compare costs with your insurance plan. You can also find free drug discount cards online at sites like NeedyMeds.org, which can be used at most U.S. pharmacies. s3PLIT YOUR PILLS !SK YOUR doctor if the pills youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking can be cut in half. Pill splitting allows you to get two months worth of medicine for the price of one. If you do this, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to get a prescription from your doctor for twice the dosage you need. Yet the darn things are everywhere, and becoming more common. The General Assembly had to pass laws about bunnyhuggers using drones to harass hunters (guess said hunters must not be good wingshots, or else that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be much of an issue.) A police chief I was talking to a while back was ruminating whether or not a surveillance drone operated via laptop computer in a police cruiser would be a better tool than cameras on utility poles in high crime areas (drug dealers, by the way, generally are poor wingshots). Shoot, I heard a nine-year-old boy telling everyone who would listen the other day how he was soon going to be getting a drone that would synchronize to his IPad. When I was nine I was looking forward to my first shotgun. The whole thing got me to thinking about how maybe I should call the folks at Boston Dynamics, and challenge them to build me a BigDog. I would want one that could spell my horses on trail rides, carry traps into the woods and beavers out of icy canals (whilst I sit in a nice

s 4 R Y OVE R T H E C O U N T E R drugs: Ask your doctor if a nonprescription medication could work as effectively as a more expensive prescription drug. Many over-the-counter drugs for common conditions such as pain-relievers, allergy medications, anti-fungals and cold-and-cough medicines were once prescription only. But be aware that if you have a flexible spending account or a health savings account, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to get a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prescription for the over-the-counter drugs (except insulin) to get reimbursed. s3HOP AROUND $RUG PRICES can vary widely from drugstore to drugstore, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely worth your time to compare prices at different pharmacies. To do this use GoodRX.com, a Web tool that lets you can find prices on all brand name and generic drugs at virtually every U.S. pharmacy. Search for drug assistance programs: If your income is limited, you can probably get help through drug assistance programs offered through pharmaceutical companies, gover nment agencies and charitable organizations. To find these types of programs use BenefitsCheckUp. org, a comprehensive website that lets you locate the programs youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eligible for, and will show you how to apply.

warm truck and watch on a computer screen). And make darn sure it was armed with a shotgun in case one of those bunnyhugger drones came by. My fear would be that the BigDawg would make friends with the drone, and the two of them would decide they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be pushed around by those silly little humans any more. Only problem is, in almost every movie where mankind becomes overly reliant on machines, the machines get resentful, and decide to take over the world. Nobody seems to remember how to turn off the power, and the robots run wild. Armed, self-directing, self-controlling robots who have been kicked around by grownups who had playground problems when they were kids. What could possible go wrong? Danger indeed, Will Robinson. Runaway robots might even be too big of a job for The Rifleman and Daniel Boone. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Weaver is a columnist with the Post & Voice. Contact him at jeffweaver@whiteville.com.

Student travels Europe as People to People Ambassador By Ashley Jacobs Post & Voice Staff Writer One can learn from experiences within county lines every day; from attending classes to interacting with others, there are life lessons soaked up through all of an individual’s conversations and travels. While one student has exceled at home and in the classroom, she sought new adventure and traveled to Europe to learn even more about the world we live in and ultimately more about herself. Pender Early College High School ninth grade student Isabel Naumuk-Segovia traveled to Europe through the People to People Ambassador program over the summer. In order to do so, she had to complete an interview process, a series of journaling requirements and course work to learn about the culture and Europe’s history before traveling. Isabel’s mother, Edelmira Segovia, explained why she is so proud of her daughter, “She’s a good person. She’s the best big sister. She treats everyone the way she would like to be treated,” she said. “She’s perfectly imperfect – she’s always the best imperfect version of herself.” Isabel comes from a diverse background and embraces her American and Peruvian cultures and relatives, her mom said she is proud of her multiple heritages, to include Dutch immigrants of St. Helena, and the Andean, African, Spanish and German blends of her Peruvian heritage. Isabel is a first generation American. It’s no wonder she wants to travel to as many places as possible. “We live in this world and we call it home. If you’re in your house, it’s home and you should know it as best as you can. And if this world is our house then I should do everything I can to know it as best as I can before I die, because everybody needs to create a

Isabel Naumuk-Segovia life that they think is worth living,” Isabel said. “If you only know one place that you call home, how does that make you feel? God put us on Earth for a reason and we don’t have an infinite amount of time to know His creation as best as we can so I feel that we have an obligation to enjoy and know what is home as best we can – because we can’t bask in that creation forever.” Isabel’s perspective on the world and “our home” keeps her on the go and her drive to learn has helped launch her to great heights in the classroom and on stage. She be gan taking high school level classes in middle school and was part of the Student Government Association and the Junior Beta Club at West Pender Middle and ultimately won the student of the year award for 2015. The bilingual student also has a love of music and played the clarinet with the all-county band. Segovia hopes other students will be inspired by all her daughter has accomplished at such a young age. “Don’t live life in fear. Be

accepting of all people no matter the differences, be somewhat of a measured risktaker: get out of your comfort zone. Discover your talent; we all have one.” And while she loved every minute of her trip to Europe, stopping at places such as England, Wales and Ireland, Pender County is home and its good to be back she said. “Pender County is a place that nobody knows about that everybody wishes they knew about. It’s close to the beach and it’s small and it’s nice and quiet. Sometimes it’s too small for comfort though,” Isabel said. “Downtown Burgaw, the courthouse is my favorite place. “The history of this place, it’s been here for a really long time, there is so much about it. There are so many native cultures: colonial, and the Civil War. My favorite thing about it is that it’s a big storytelling county. There’s a lot to know about it. It’s one of those places that is not just skin deep. Looking at it you can’t tell a lot, but there’s so much more to it,” she said.

Bill Howard Outdoors

By Bill Howard Post & Voice Columnist I caught a post on social media from a fellow outdoors writer regarding a story on a gun dog’s last hunt. Something struck me about it and there was a yearning to read the writer’s take. As I get older I have experienced things such as my last baseball game and witnessed my oldest son’s last soccer game. There are times when you knew it was coming and you took in the moment along with all the emotions that you would expect on such an occasion. I have also seen when a career ends abruptly. Whether it be something like Joe Theismann’s injury or someone on a much less public scale walk of

the field because of a disagreement with a coach and decide it was over. That brings about a different set of emotions, and sometimes they do not manifest themselves until years later. Either way, in hindsight, you look back and try to see what would be done differently as well as how could the moment been captured. I read a story about where a hunter started hunting with his dog at the young age of 14. His dog Riley was one year old at the time. They were duck hunting and he had a wounding shot on a diver. The wind was as strong as the current and the water was choppy. Riley leaped into the spread and began searching for the downed duck. However, every time the dog got near, the duck would dive for a minute or so at the time and resurface a few dozen yards away. Still, Riley would not give up. He continued and continued. The hunter and his dad decided to call the dog off for fear of him tiring in the turbulent and frigid waters. Riley would not listen. Finally, the duck gave another dive and Riley disappeared from the surface at the same time. The young hunter thought he had just killed his dog on his first hunt. Moments later, Riley re-

surfaced with the diving duck in his mouth. They hunted for over a decade together. They learned how to hunt together as both gained more and more experience. They were not the perfect hunters, but both enjoyed each other’s company. Riley had aged over that decade, gaining arthritis in his hips and other ailments that come with aging. It had come to the point that after the last hunting season, even with trying to hunt Riley lightly, the toll had been great. The veterinarian suggested any strenuous activity for Riley should be avoided.

The hunter struggled with the idea. Riley still shared the excitement of a pup whenever there was a shotgun shell nearby or at the sound of a duck call. His body just wasn’t as ready as his heart. The hunter had said that Riley would die trying to find a hard to spot bird, and it was to the point Riley would prove it. He tossed about the idea of one last hunting season, one last hunt, and if Riley could not withstand the rigors of the season, then at least he would die doing what he loved. But as the season neared, he just couldn’t make the call. It was too hard to watch an old friend

wither away. And as is many times the case, someone else’s story begins to show as reality right in front of you. I was approached by a lady at a AKC agility trial in Concord towards the end of one of the day’s events. She told me her dog Gus was retiring after this trial. He was old, he couldn’t run quite as fast. He couldn’t jump quite as high and

far. Although he still had the desire, he just did not have the ability that he once did. It was an emotional moment. There was happiness in her voice, but not because it was the last run. It was present because of all the memories they had shared together. Watching Gus navigate the

Are you ready for some football?

Jamboree preps teams for opening games By Bobby Norris and Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writers Pender County football teams hit the field at the annual Touchtone Energy Pender County Football Jamboree Saturday. It was an opportuny to fine tune the teams before opening games this week. Pender shows improvement When former coach Tony Hudson announced his resignation as the Pender Patriot football coach last spring the team was in limbo. There was very little going on in terms of football workouts and the weight room was not being utilized by the football hopefuls. Coach Bob Via was hired in mid-June and jumped into the fray with his sleeves rolled up and his coaching duds on. He was way behind by most standards and has worked diligently to catch up. All of the veteran coaches hard work is about to come to fruition as the Patriots are about to suit up and begin the Bob Via coaching era. On Saturday evening the Patriots played in the Pender County Jamboree. It was the team’s first look at anyone other than themselves. The results were mixed as the Patriot defense struggled in the early going before gaining their footing against Harrells Christian Academy. The team finished their night out with a 40-minute scrimmage against Swansboro. Harrells scored on the sixth play from scrimmage and moved the ball in the early going of the opener. The Patriot defense began to find their footing and slowed the Crusaders down in the later portion of the scrimmage. Harrells failed to score in the final 20 minutes of the scrimmage. The Patriot offense showed flashes of what it could be with the duo of Justin Hooper and Latrell Brown performing in mid-season form, gaining good yardage behind the Patriots revamped offensive line. The second scrimmage of the night for the Patriots was against Swansboro. The Pirates jumped on the Pender defense early. They scored on their first two plays and were moving the ball well. However, on the fifth play of the 10play set the Pirates attempted a pass to Justin Hoopers side of the field. The junior standout intercepted the ball. The whistle blew as the Patriot speedster was headed to the house. That settled the Pats down and they held their own for the remainder of the night. On the offensive side of the ball, the Patriots scored twice on buck sweeps with Hooper scoring as well as Brown finding the endzone. Quarterback Jake Rawls found his rhythm against Swansboro and had several good reads after falling victim to the Pirate defensive pressure early. The junior signal caller showed his familiar toughness throughout the night taking some big hits and bouncing up with a smile. Pender will open the 2015 season at home against Trinity Christian. Titans flex muscles The Trask Titan football team has had a very eventful summer. Coach Johnathan Taylor enrolled his squad in several seven-on-seven passing scrimmages and also spent countless hours in the weight room. All of that hard work culminated in two days of scrimmaging that began at Lejuene on Friday evening and ended on Saturday night at Topsail in the Pender

County Jamboree. “Our guys worked hard all summer long, “said defensive coordinator Doug Rabalai. “We got bigger and stronger. We played in 18 seven-on-seven scrimmages and it helped us a lot.” The Titans were involved in 80 plays during the Onslow County jamboree, filling in for a couple of teams. The Titans more than held their own according to Coach Taylor. “We did pretty good. We

still have some work to do but overall we competed.” The Titan defense applied plenty of pressure on their opponents with Rabalai singling out Kansas Bannerman for his play. “Kansas had a couple of sacks and was hard to handle. I think we’ll be all right.” On Saturday night Taylor opted to go with his younger players in the opening scrimmage against Harrell’s Christian Academy. The Titan coach

wanted to see what these kids would do in live competition. Midway through the second 10-play drive he inserted his starting defense and they held their own against a very good Harrells team. “We put them out there to give them a taste and see what they would do. We need to see who we got and how they will handle things in a game situation.” The Crusaders scored on their first play from scrimmage and twice in the first four plays. The Titans first string defense fared better, slowing the Harrells team down considerably. Offensively, the Titans moved the ball with senior Tynaffitt Davis taking the snaps. Davis connected with Johnathan Jordan for a score down the left side that covered about 50 yards. Davis also scored on a run against Swansboro. Stephen Jordan ran the ball effectively for most of the night behind an improved offensive line. He also played well on defense while backup quarterback Tyrease Armstrong showed flashes of being the future star of the Titan offense. Overall Coach Taylor managed to obtain his goals during the final dress rehearsal before the regular season begins. “We wanted to make sure we got out of here with nobody hurt. We got the young guys some snaps and worked on a few things. Getting out with no injuries was very important.” The Titans host Topsail on Friday night. Pirates solid in Jamboree It was only a pair of 20play, controlled scrimmages but there was plenty to be optimistic about from the standpoint of Topsail High School football Coach Wayne Inman – both at the varsity and junior-varsity level. Five teams – Pender, Trask, and Topsail from Pender County, along with Harrells Christian Academy and Swansboro – took the field last Saturday night in Hampstead for the Touchstone Energysponsored Football Jamboree in a series of six scrimmages where each team alternated 10-play possessions. No scores were posted, nor statistics counted. All the teams took the liberty of substituting regularly to fill holes, and to find out who wants to – and can – play the game at the high-school level, and the results, as one might expect, were varied. But Inman did something different than any of the other teams by playing just his junior-varsity players in the Pirates’ opening scrimmage against Harrells, coming back with them varsity squad in the evening’s final match against Swansboro. Inman was pleased with the effort at both levels. “We won the battle up front (versus Swansboro),” Inman said. “I don’t know who they had in there, the starters or what, but with the guys they had on the field we won the battle up front and that’s where it starts. That’s where we feel like our strength is, and the thing about it is when our defensive line does what it is supposed to do it makes it so much easier for the linebackers to make plays and that’s what they did, they did a great job. “Offensively, when the offensive line blocks it makes everybody effective, and makes the backs look good. They sustained blocks and our wide receivers did a great job of blocking downfield and that’s what makes plays go longer.

In My Opinion

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer

While I was at the Pender County Jamboree last week I got the opportunity to pick the brain of county athletic director Robbie Cauley. I have had many conversations with Mr. Cauley and each time we talked I have learned something. Last week the conversation turned to the impending realignment where I thought that the Topsail Pirates would end up. Mr. Cauley has sat through many meetings concerning realignment over the years and knows a thing or two about the subject. I have been writing for 15 years and have watched our county high schools get the short end of the stick more than once. The year that Trask opened was a prime example of our schools getting the short end. The Patriots found themselves in the Mid-eastern Conference with an enrollment of a 1A school. Now I was not privy to what was going on behind the scenes and did not know all of the rules. Apparently the rules state that if a school was involved in something such as what happened to the Patriots, the school could petition the state to drop to a lower classification in the event that this happened. Pender in fact petitioned the state and was told something to the effect that it needed to be done at a different time. In other words the Pats had to play the year out in the 3A-4A conference as a 1A. The Patriots took it on the chin that year. Glenn Sellers was the coach and went from being a coach of a state championship contender at the 3-A level to the coach of a 1A school in a tough 4A conference. Topsail is in the third year of being in the MEC Conference. The football and basketball teams have struggled to compete with the 4A schools. The people

in charge will begin looking at the upcoming realignment in the coming months. The ideal situation would be for the Pirates to be put in a straight 3A conference. There is a good chance that the North Brunswick Scorpions will be a 3A school when this happens. The perfect scenario would be for the three Brunswick County schools to be paired with Topsail and maybe White Oak and Jacksonville to form a six team conference. However, according to Mr. Cauley the problem with that formula is that there would be no one to pair the four New Hanover County schools with. I say pair them with New Bern and that group. Cauley would tend to agree but the New Hanover County schools would fight this tooth and nail. The end result will most likely be the Pirates will stay in the Mid-Eastern Conference. I think that the Scorpions will end up in the conference as well with one of the Onslow County schools being moved to the conference with New Bern. Another scenario that may play out is that the Titans may end up being a 2A school by the time the realignment takes place. One thing to keep in mind is that there is no set number that a school reaches to move up. That mythical number moves every year. The state takes all of the schools in the state and sets the numbers accordingly. Therefore, the cut off for the 3A will most likely move. What may be a 4A school right now could possible become a large 3A. In turn the Titans may be a small 2A instead of a large 1A even if they drop in the number of students that are enrolled. If anybody has any questions concerning the realignment I suggest you don’t contact me about it. While Mr. Cauley enlightened me about it and I feel like I understand it pretty well now, I am not the one to explain it. Mr. Cauley is a busy man so I won’t send you to him. However, if by chance you corner him somewhere he is too nice of a man not try and explain it to you. I am sure that I forgot part of what he told me but I can tell you that my athletic Director IQ goes up every time I talk to him.

Athletes to watch this year in Pender County By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Post & Voice sports department offers our readers the opportunity to see each week’s best performers in our weekly Top Performer’s story. This week we would like to preview what we think are the top six male and female athletes going into the 2015-16 school year. Top six female athletes 6) Kyra Holmes (Trask, senior) Holmes is a standout on the Titan softball team and is also a very good volleyball player. She is an accomplished sprinter as well. 5) Lakirah Forney (Pender, junior) Forney is a pure athlete. She is a state caliber performer for the Patriot track team and is also a starter on the Pender volleyball team. 4) Payton Schoenleber (Topsail, senior) Schoenleber is a double threat for the Pirates. She is a standout volleyball player and is one of the best basketball players for the Pirates. She combines intelligence and athleticism to form a complete student-athlete.

3) Imani Newkirk (Pender, junior) Newkirk is a very good softball player who moonlights as a pretty darned good volleyball and basketball player. She has that rare combination of speed and power. 2) Keri White (Topsail, senior) White is one of the best softball players in the area and is also a standout basketball player. She is one of the most tenacious athletes in the county. 1) Desire Brown (Trask, senior) Brown is a state caliber sprinter. She may well be a state champion when this school year ends. Brown was an all-county and all-conference softball player last year and will be an integral part of the Trask volleyball team this year. Top six male athletes 6) Justin Hooper (Pender, sophomore) Hooper is an outstanding football player. He excels on both sides of the ball. He is also a very good basketball player and can run like the wind. 5) Steven Jordan (Trask,

Topsail pursuing 3A title in tough split conference By Lee Wagner Contributing Sports Writer It’s been a tough go for the Topsail High School football team over the span of the Pirates’ first two years as a 3A school and a member of the perennially tough Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference. During the 2013 season – Topsail’s first year removed from the East Central 2A ranks – the Pirates went 4-8 overall and 1-5 in the conference. The only conference victory came on Oct. 25, a 13-7 win over 3A foe South Brunswick. The combined scores against the 4A schools – Ashley, Hoggard, Laney, and New Hanover – were 148-7 and they

lost 20-14 to West Brunswick. Last season brought another 1-5 conference mark (3-8 overall) with a breakthrough 4A win over Ashley (13-0 on Oct. 3), which finished 0-10 overall and 0-6 in the conference. They did not fare as well against the rest of the teams, suffering to the tune of 14334 against the other three 4A schools and falling 42-7 to the 3A Trojans.

But the good thing about a new year is everyone starts 0-0, and Topsail’s third-year Coach Wayne Inman already believes this group has a chance to make a major conference breakthrough by contending for the title in the 3A portion of the conference, while possibly closing the gap against the 4A schools. The Pirates lost nine players off of the 2015 squad – the most notable being running back Josh Jessup (graduation) and two-year starting quarterback Nick Altilio (injury). But Inman believes the 25 letter-winning horses left in the stable leave plenty of room for optimism. “We are definitely the

strongest right now in the offensive and defensive lines, and that’s a major plus,” Inman said. “Initially, we are lacking experience at the quarterback position, in the secondary, and in the kicking game, and we have very little depth (approximately 35-40 candidates out for the varsity and junior-varsity teams).” There have been four coaching changes in the conference with Ashley, Hoggard, New Hanover, and West Brunswick operating under new head coaches, and Laney and South Brunswick being led by second-year coaches – surprisingly leaving Inman,

Pender football adjusts to new regime By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Pender Patriot football team has struggled as of late. The team won two games a year ago and was winless in 2013. Coach Tony Hudson resigned over the spring and new Coach Bob Via was hired in mid-June. The new coach hit the ground running but understands that the time he missed will affect how the team starts the 2015 season off.

Offensively, the Patriots have one of the best running backs in the area in junior Justin Hooper. He showed his stuff during the jamboree, breaking off big chunks of

yardage against both Swansboro and Harrells Christian Academy. He is the consummate speedster with moves to get himself in the open field. Latrell Brown is another back that will give opposing defenses fits. Much like Hooper, he is a speedster with moves. This team has plenty of speed. “Our strength is definitely our speed,” said Via. “With Hooper, Latrell Brown and Chris Devane we have plenty of speed.” Jake Rawls will be un-

der center this year literally. Coach Via runs a slot I/ flex bone offense that keeps Rawls under center. The team will run a lot of option out of these formations in hopes of getting the ball in one of the team’s playmakers. Rawls is a smart player that will make the right read more often than not. The offensive line is not as big as in years past but does have some size. Matthew Rivenbark may be the best of

Trask football hopes to turn corner in 2015 By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Heide Trask Titan football team has never had a winning season. The best record that they have ever reached was 6-6 in two consecutive years in the early years. This year may be the year that they eclipse that mark under the tutelage of second year coach Johnathan Taylor. The 2015 version of the Titans are coming into the season with renewed optimism after an off-season of work in the weight room along with a summer in which the team participated in 18 seven on seven passing contests. “We worked hard all sum-

mer,” said Coach Taylor. We had around 30-35 players a day in the weight room. We are stronger and in better shape.” The Titans hopes and dreams evolve around the play of the offensive line. Brandon Anderson leads a group that has benefited from the instruction of coaches Doug Oyler and James Tim-

mons. This group is stronger and in the best shape of their lives thanks to many hours in the weight room. The group calls themselves the Dozers and will be the backbone of the Titan offense. “We will go as far as they take us,” said Assistant Coach Doug Rabalai. The one weakness comes in the form of depth. The Titans cannot afford an injury up front. The Titans appear to have decided that senior Tynaffitt Davis will run the offense. The Titans will rely on a set of skill players that may be the best collectively that the team has seen in a while. Junior Steven Jordan will carry the

bulk of the load in the backfield while Tony Holmes will get some carries too. Jordan is quick and can run over and around people. The receiving corps for the Titans is the best that they have had as a group. Michael Stroman and Johnathan Jordan along with Zenas Ward are three of the better receivers in the Four County Conference and should give Davis plenty of reasons to throw the football. Another wildcard is quarterback Tyrease Armstrong. With Armstrong at quarterback and Davis on the wing the Titans are very good.

County football season opens this week By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Pender will be at home for their season opener, while Topsail will make the short drive to Rocky Point to Titantown. Topsail at Trask The Trask Titans and the Topsail Pirates will resume their cross county rivalry Friday night in Titan Town in what is sure to be a slobber knocker of a contest between two teams that have shown no love for each other in years past. Topsail comes to Titantown boasting what appears to be the biggest and best offensive line that has ever knelt over the pigskin at Topsail.

Sanchez ready to lead the Trask Titans By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Heide Trask Titan men’s soccer team is under the leadership of its third coach in four years. The team hopes to have found its leader in Coach Jason Hall. In turn Coach Hall will turn to his upperclassmen to lead on the field and in the classroom. One of those that Coach Hall will count on is senior midfielder Greg Sanchez. Coach Hall says that Mr. Sanchez has been to every single workout and has given 110 percent on each and every play. In turn the team has gained respect for the unassuming young man with a quick smile and relentless work ethic. As the Titan kickers work their way through the tough Four County Conference schedule as well their nonconference slate, Greg Sanchez will lead both buy example and otherwise. There is no doubt that Greg is ready to lead his Titan teammates.

Pender County’s Most Comprehensive Fishing Report

Rain gives anglers reprieve By Bobby Norris

Post & Voice Fishing Fanatic Well the rain has finally given us a break and the area anglers are taking advantage of it. It is the middle of August and some of the anglers are talking about making the transition to fall fishing. Not just yet my friends. The ocean bite is going strong and the anglers are reaping the benefits. The pier fishing is pretty good with a steady bite of croaker and some Spanish and blues being caught on jigs and Clarks spoons. There has even been a few spots being caught. The flounder bite has been real good in the inlets and waterways. A finger mullet or even a gulp bait will work for these tasty fellas. The reds are also hitting in the same areas. Find a structure such as a dock and go for it. Surf fishing is on fire right now as well with some pompano and a few blues mixed in as well as a few spots and croakers. Shrimp and cut bait will work here. I talked to a few gentlemen that were catching some Spanish trolling about a mile off of the beach. They were trolling Clarks spoons. The fresh water bite is pretty darned good as well. The temps are moderating and the pan fish are hitting red worms and crickets. Find an area with some cover and fish it hard. The cats are always biting early in the morning and after dark. Cut up eel and chicken livers will work here. This week’s fishing tip With the rivers and lakes running high, the chance of running up on a snake goes up significantly. These creepy critters will look for high ground like most other animals. Remember, if the waters are high, then the snakes will be looking for high ground. If you see a couple in a short period of time or in a small area, then it is best to move on. There are only a few species of poisonous snakes in our area. The most common are the copperhead and the cottonmouth water moccasin. The copperhead is a relatively small snake, with adults averaging less than three feet in length. This snake has a tan or pinkish-tan background color that darkens toward the mid-body area. It has a series of darker cross bands. The water moccasin or cottonmouth is a very aggressive snake. The “cottonmouth” name comes from the snake’s tendency to open its mouth and hiss when threatened. The inside of its mouth is whitish-pink in color, which starkly contrasts the darker coloration of its body. Like most of the pit vipers, this venomous snake has a broad head. It also has a blunt snout and usually a telltale stripe under each eye. Most cottonmouth are mostly black, and may appear completely black from a distance (aside from the aforementioned head pattern). Some specimens may have a tan, gray or brownish ground color with darker cross bands. The water moccasin is found around water while the copperhead can be found in many places, from wood piles to piles of straw or brush. If you are bitten by a poisonous snake, seek medical attention immediately. Never try and handle a poisonous snake.

The team boasts an all-state, all-conference and all-county performer in Joe Sculthorpe as well as the 6-5, 315-pound Cody Howell. The line averages a good 275 pounds and is one of the best in the area. Look for the Pirates to pound the ball behind that mammoth line with fullback Drew Gaithers. The senior bowling ball is tough and hard to bring down. D.J Montano will also carry the ball as will D.J. Frazier. All of these backs will benefit from the huge o-line. This team bullied Swansboro in the Jamboree with ease. Sophomore Jacob Floyd will throw the occasional pass with Hunter Potts his best receiver. The Titan defense had

better not get obsessed with stopping the run or Floyd will light them up. On the other hand if Floyd gets careless the Titan defensive backfield will make him pay. I look for Gaithers to have a big night with Frazier pitching in as well. The Titans offensive and defensive line will have their hands full with the Pirates. This will be the ultimate test for the young Dozers. If the o-line can give Steven Jordan a crack he will be off to the races. Look for a heavy dose of Jordan along with senior signal caller Tynaffitt Davis running the ball. If the Titans expect to play with the Pirates, Davis will have to find a cou-

ple of his speedsters outside to open things up. This is a tall order for the Titans in their opener. The Pirates are bigger and stronger. Gaithers goes for a buck seventy-five and the Titans counter with Jordan and the passing game. The score. 3713. Pender hosts Trinity Christian The Pender Patriots traveled to Fayetteville last year to engage the Trinity Christian Crusaders. The Patriots won the first of two games on the year with a 33-8 victory. The Pats are under a new coach and have a new offense and defensive scheme. Meanwhile the Crusaders are making the trip to Pender in both

teams opener. The Crusaders have moved from the eight man football game to the traditional 11 man game. They face a Pender team looking to make amends for a couple of bad seasons. Look for the Patriots to give the football to their batman and Robin in Justin Hooper and Latrell Brown. The team now employs the hybrid offense of Bob Via but it looks an awful lot like the option to most. Jake Rawls will make the read and decide what will happen on most plays. He is capable of keeping the football and gaining yardage but his best bet is to get it to his speedy running backs. Rawls likes to find Hooper

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer There has been much said about the size and strength of the Topsail Pirate varsity football team’s offensive and defensive lines. The Pirates line is in fact as big and strong as any high school line in the area. However, there is more to this line than just size. Codie Powell is part of that Topsail front line. The senior strong man is very athletic for a man his size and has quick feet to go with his size. He has the size and strength to block bigger lineman and the quick feet to block smaller linemen as well. He is very agile for a man his size. As the Pirates offensive line goes so does the Pirates. The root of this team is engrained in the offensive line. As for senior standout Codie Powell, he is one part of the giant puzzle that is the Topsail Pirate varsity football team.

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Pender Patriot varsity football team is under new management. The Pats have a new coach and a new offensive and defensive scheme as well. However, one thing that never changes is the fact that to be successful you have to have a solid offensive line. This year the Pats have several new linemen. Standing tall among those linemen is junior Matt Rivenbark. Rivenbark is charged with being one of the best offensive and defensive linemen on the Patriot football team. He will be counted on to open up holes for running backs such as Justin Hooper and Latrell Brown as well protecting junior quarterback Jake Rawls. Defensively, he will have to stop the run and rush the passer. There is no doubt that he is up to the challenge. When the dust clears and the final buzzer sounds, Matt Rivenbark will be there for the Patriots.

in the flats. If Hooper can catch that short pass he is off to the races. The duo scored four touchdowns in last year’s contest. Defensively, the Pats played well against the Crusaders last year. This year’s version of the Pats defenders are talented but thin in numbers. Look for the Patriots to manhandle the undermanned Crusaders. Hooper runs for 150 yards or more and Brown gets close to 100 his self. Rawls makes the right reads and the Patriot defense plays well. Pender wins its first game of the year and roll into Topsail the following week with an unblemished record. The score. Pender 34-0

All my backs ran well, they read the holes and read the keys, and they’re doing what they are coached to do.” The Pirates scored the first three times they touched the ball with senior Drew Gaither racing 50 yards for one score, Montano gaining 53 yards on two carries in a drive that was culminated by a four-yard scoring burst from sophomore quarterback Jordan Floyd, and Floyd hooking up with senior wide receiver Hunter Potts for a seven-yard touchdown after a 50-yard run by senior Grant McCoy during their first possession against Swansboro. McCoy added a 20-yard scoring jaunt and an 18-yard scoring run in the second 10play possession series. The Topsail defense pretty much stymied a Swansboro offense

that scored four times against Trask and three times versus Pender. Like any coach, especially at this early juncture, Inman said there are things that need work. “We had some mistakes offensively where we blocked the wrong guy and didn’t pick up keys,” Inman said. “Passing the ball, we threw it a couple of times tonight, but we still have to get more accurate with the passes. “I think we have to get better on our passing game and defensively we did a great job of getting everybody to the football, swarming to the ball, and that’s what we want and what we teach every day. The things we need to work on is making sure we read our keys and don’t depend on someone else to do our job. I think, a couple of time defensively, we made the wrong read.” The Crusaders of Harrells looked good all night, scoring four times against Trask and twice on Pender. They put four scores on the board against Topsail’s younger group (junior varsity). Crusader running back Marcus Scarbor-

ough scored five times in the scrimmages, and Auburn recruit Marcellus Allison caught a pair of passes (47 total yards) and gained 23 yards rushing in the three scrimmages. Pirate sophomore running back Josh Smith had 67 yards on 11 carries and scored the Pirates’ lone touchdown, and freshman quarterback Hayden Walsh had 18 yards on three carries, was sacked once for a loss of six yards, and was 1-for-3 for nine yards passing. “I thought our junior-varsity kids competed well, I really did, especially being their first opportunity to get our here and scrimmage,” Inman said. “Sometimes I feel like we shortchange them because we are short on staff and we give more attention to the varsity, and sometimes the Junior varsity suffers. But we have a couple of guys who are specifically working with them and they are doing a great job. Our varsity coaches are also spending a little more time with them so we can prepare them to play. For them to come out here and perform as well as they did I was pleased, I really was.”

excel on the track as well as the football field. He can make noise on the hardwood as well. 3) Michael Stroman (Trask, senior) Stroman is one of the fastest kids at Trask. He is a very good baseball player as well as a good football player. He also excels on the track team. One of the most underrated athletes in the county. 2) Tynaffitt Davis (Trask, senior) Davis may be the best basketball player in the county. He can do it all on the

basketball court. He is also a pretty good football player with the skills to play multiple positions. Can play baseball as well. 1) Joe Sculthorpe (Topsail, senior) Sculthorpe is an outstanding football player. He anchors the Pirates offensive line and is a very good defensive player as well. He will play division one football if he so desires. As a wrestler Joe has won a state title, has finished second and third in three years.

very good. Steve Jordan will play in the backfield and at Linebacker and Johnathan Jordan will play defensive end as well as linebacker. The Titans have a couple of playmakers in the defensive backfield. Like most 1A teams the Titans lack depth. However, they are as strong up front as they have been in a while. Quarterback Tynaffitt Davis is a playmaker and the Titans have a stud at runningback. With

the outside threats at receiver this team will score points. If the defense holds up this may be the season that the Titans finish above .500. The Four County Conference is strong with the likes of Wallace-Rose Hill and East Bladen along with Clinton. The Titans need to beat the teams that they should and sneak up on a couple of the big boys if they want that school record finish.

While a scrimmage is not a true evaluation of talent or future, based on the results of the BB&T Jamboree at Legion Stadium last Friday, Hoggard and New Hanover appear to be the class of the conference, with Laney showing speed and potential while Ashley, South Brunswick, West Brunswick struggled. To achieve the lofty goal of a 3A title, Inman will need the offensive and defensive lines to step up and be the mainstay of the team while the young skill-position players develop.

Inman singled out several of those players in the trenches â&#x20AC;&#x201C; seniors Joe Sculthorpe, (4-yerar starter), Codie Howell (3-year starter), and Walter Haley, (3-year starter), and junior Jarett Radley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joe (6-foot-3, 285) is a very strong and physical player, and Codie (6-foot-5, 315) is big, strong, and physical,â&#x20AC;? Inman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Walter (6-foot-2, 215) plays tough and is physical on the edge, and Jarett (6-foot-2, 265) is big and strong and has great feet.â&#x20AC;? Backing up the defensive line will be seniors Drew Gaither (3-year starter, who will do double-duty at the H-Back position), Danny McDonald, and Chris Byrd (3-year starter), and junior D. J. Frazier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drew is a hard runner and runs downhill, and Chris has good size and runs extremely well to the ball,â&#x20AC;? Inman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Danny has great speed and plays hard every play, and D. J. is a strong and very physical player, has great speed, and works hard to get to the ball.â&#x20AC;? Also doing double duty will be senior wide-receiver

and free safety Hunter Potts, senior strong safety and running back Grant McCoy, junior defensive back and slot receiver Kyle Wright, and senior running back and defensive back Justin Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hunter is a smart player with great hands and plays extremely hard, and Grant (missed last season due to an injury) is a hard-nosed football player with a great knowledge of the game,â&#x20AC;? Inman added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kyle has good speed and is a physical player, and Justin (currently battling a leg injury) has good speed and is a good cover corner.â&#x20AC;? The Pirates have a chance for a good start to the season before they hit conference play. Topsail opens at Trask (Aug. 21), comes home to face Pender (Aug. 28), stays in Hampstead to play host to Dixon (Sept. c4), travels to Croatan (Sept. 11), and comes back home to face Jacksonville (Sept. 18) before opening conference play at Laney (Sept. 25). Trask, Pender, Dixon, Croatan, and Jacksonville were a combined 17-41 in 2014.

ter than most. He is subject to turn an interception into a pick six at any time. The defensive line is solid but Via needs to find a couple of linebackers. Matthew Ezzell is back and should handle the kicking chores. He is a consistent place kicker and can win a game for you inside the 25 yard line. Depth is a concern for the Patriots as they have about 35 kids in the program. They

can ill afford to have any injuries. With that being said this team should win more than two football games this year as long as they avoid the injury bug. The Four County Conference contests will be tough on the thin Patriots. Wallace and Clinton along with East Bladen are tough games for a young and thin Patriot team. Avoiding injuries against the big three will determine how the team does overall.

{Now located at Cedar on the Green}

Hot Mess Studios By Lori Kirkpatrick, Post & Voice Staff Writer

Hot Mess Studios in Hampstead has moved to its new location at Cedar on the Green. The transition was made in April, and the art studio continues to offer a broad spectrum of creative options for aspiring artists of all ages and skill levels. Visitors can participate in activities such as pottery painting, mosaic creations, canvas classes and workshops in a friendly atmosphere. Owner Andrea Jacquot decided to make the transition due in part to rising ren t al co st s at t h e o ld lo c at i o n . â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love it here,â&#x20AC;? said Jacquot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re off the highway a little bit, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little cozier, and it just has a better feel I think. We have the lights on so the ladies can paint outside at night, and the patio lights are up. Before we opened our first studio, we looked here and there were no buildings available; and in a series of difficult circumstances, we have found our way back here.â&#x20AC;? Hot Mess offers a variety of options for customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have done more partnering with other businesses, which has been nice. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to coordinate classes with Surf City Parks and Recreation this year. We have also partnered with Hullabaloo. We have pottery, candles, and we added wine glass painting this year. We do clay, and we have added bottle slumping. We take a bottle, take the label off and paint it with special glass paint. You paint them while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re round and then you slump them. Then we can drill holes in them and make them into wind chimes, or a lot of people use them for cheese trays. We

added terrariums this year, and we decided to do a Pin and Pinot night. The ladies come in and we pull an item off of Pinterest. Last month we did big wooden monograms, and that was so popular that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it again in September. We still have pottery and glass painting as well,â&#x20AC;? said Jacquot. Jacquot said that she hopes to get more business from local residents and schools in the near future. She is also looking for a second location in Wilmington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This place is perfect for Hampstead, but I think of Hampstead as a drive through town because people often drive through here to get to Wilmington or Jacksonville. We get a lot of business from Surf City, Sneads Ferry, Jacksonville and Wilmington, but not a lot of locals. Another big thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see is school support. I hope to see the PTAs draw from local places to do their fundraisers. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in business for three years, but I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had any area schools contact me to do a fundraiser. There have been schools from Jacksonville and from Wilmington, but not from Hampstead,â&#x20AC;? said Jacquot. H o t M es s has s ome new ideas for t h e u p c o m i n g s c h o o l ye a r, a s we l l . â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something I would like to see take off is classes for home schools. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also like to have momsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; morning painting. This place is perfect for Hampstead. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to give up. We have a new location and people are still finding us. With all the building going on in Hampstead, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hold on and try to stay here,â&#x20AC;? said Jacquot. The move to the new location came about at

a difficult time. Just as Jacquot was looking for a new site, her family received devastating news. Her mother, known to all the kids at Hot Mess as Grammy Carrots, was diagnosed with cancer. Jacquot and her mother had moved to Hampstead from Connecticut with a dream of bringing a new business to the community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something for families to do without having to drive to Wilmington. While in Connecticut, her mother had converted an old chicken coop in her backyard into a studio where the ladies in the community would come to paint ceramics. This concept was the inspiration for Hot Mess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother found out in January and moved in with me after she had emergency surgery. At first everything here stopped, because I was the only one that did kilns and the ordering, and running the whole business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was just she and I every day; but immediately my artists kicked in and took over. Sarah stepped up, because she had taken studio art at UNCW and she knew how to do everything. Giving over the reigns to somebody was hard for me, but we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a step. Everything went really smoothly. Veronica Broadway is a self-taught artist that lives right here in Hampstead, and everything was a perfect fit. There were about three months when I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t here at all. Along with the transition of moving the studio, my mother was recovering from surgery, going through chemo, and the location I was looking at in Wilmington fell through. This building had been neglected for so many years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was a lot. It was the support of staff and community that has

brought us through it. Everyone was been so supportive, and I want to get across to people how much we appreciate it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been nice having that support that you get living in a small town like Hampstead,â&#x20AC;? said Jacquot. Jacquot said that their customers and the Hampstead community has become a much-needed support system for her mother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole idea of this place was from her,â&#x20AC;? said Jacquot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The storytime kids would come in and call her Grammy Carrots, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want that to be lost in this whole thing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still the two of us together. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not franchising â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we just do everything from the heart. I think she wants this to be successful for us and for her. When she moved here, she was retired and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anybody. Just from working here, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gained such a great amount of support. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opened up a whole new world for her. She has a nice network here and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very grateful for that. It gives her something to look forward to. She has done something that has brought families together and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it has always been about â&#x20AC;&#x201C; families together, having something to do, and something kind of nice to create memories together.â&#x20AC;? Hot Mess Studios is located at 17011 Hwy 17 at Cedar on the Green Shopping Village in Hampstead. The studio is open Monday through Thursday from 11 am to 8 pm, Friday and Saturday from 11 am to 10 pm, and on Sunday from noon until 5 pm. They can be reached at (910) 386-7699, and the website can be seen at HotMessStudios.com.

Will Rogers once said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.â&#x20AC;? I can imagine that everyone reading this article has participated or been the victim of the deadly sin of gossip. Now you might be wondering why I would call gossip a deadly sin. The fact is that it is really not me that calls gossip a sin, but Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holy Word. James 1:26 tells us that someone who thinks he is religious without controlling his tongue is â&#x20AC;&#x153;deceiving himself â&#x20AC;? and has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;uselessâ&#x20AC;? religion. Perhaps the most telling is that in Romans 1:28-32, Paul included gossips and slanderers in the same list as those who hate God and murder. In our culture gossip is so easy to commit that we often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to put much effort into its practice. With Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat we are only just a few clicks away from destroying a close friendship, harmony in a church or even a long-term marriage. Just think for a moment when was the last time you took part in gossiping? You may not have been the one telling the recent Pender County rumors, but you couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been the listening ear that supplied fuel to the fire. In the Old Testament we are reminded that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the mouths of fools are their undoing, and their lips are a snare to their very lives. The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts,â&#x20AC;? Proverbs 18:7-8. The writer of Proverbs also proclaims that â&#x20AC;&#x153;a perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friendsâ&#x20AC;? (Proverbs 16:28). Many a friendship has been ruined over a misunderstand-

ing that started with gossip. Those who engage in this behavior do nothing but stir up trouble and cause anger, bitterness and pain among friends. Sadly, some people thrive on this and look for opportunities to destroy others. Often when such people are confronted, they deny the allegations and answer with excuses and rationalizations. Rather than admit wrongdoing, they blame someone else or attempt to minimize the seriousness of their sin. Dr. Billy Graham once said in a sermon that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a real Christian is the one who can give his pet parrot to the town gossip.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure not many church members would be willing to do just that. Proverbs 26:20 says that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;like a fire, gossip stops when people stop gossiping.â&#x20AC;? With a fire, you can let it go out slowly on its own or dump water on it to speed things up. The same is true for the sin gossip. When you are invited to gossip about someone, you could just walk away or try to change the subject. Or, you could stand up for what is right and challenge those around you to treat others with respect. Ask the gossiper, in love and gentleness, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would you want someone to talk about you like that?â&#x20AC;? Remember that if someone is so freely to gossip about everyone in the community, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that you are being sheltered from their sin. As a Christian we are to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. This certainly wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy, but it is what Jesus did for you. He endured unimaginable mocking, ridicule, and torment to save you from your sins precisely because you could not do it yourself. As a child growing up in Wallace, my grandmother

would always tell me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never let your lips repeat something your eyes didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see.â&#x20AC;? It was very similar to the advice that Martin Luther gave to the Church, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.â&#x20AC;? What if this simple reminder was done by every Christian? Do you think there would be a radical change if we stopped discussing peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems and started praying for them? Would the Church stop looking like the world if its members would simply apply the Bible to their daily lives? I know there would be a great strengthening in the Body of Christ if each person that has been called by Christ to follow Him would simply stop gossiping. If we have been guilty of gossiping the best time to stop is now. If we have been a victim of gossip the best thing we can do is forgive the person that has been gossiping about us. A.W. Tozer had these powerful words of advice about the sin of gossip, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never pass anything on about anybody else that will hurt him.â&#x20AC;? Love covers a multitude of sinsâ&#x20AC;? (1 Peter 4:8). The talebearer has no place in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor. If you know something that would hinder or hurt the reputa-

tion of one of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, bury it forever. Find a little garden out backâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a little spot somewhereâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and when somebody comes around with an evil story, take it out and bury it and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here lies in peace the story about my brother.â&#x20AC;? God will take care of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With what judgment you judge, you shall be judged.â&#x20AC;? In closing, I share a poem that I recently came across by Lynn Crosbie entitled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gossiping in the Workplace.â&#x20AC;? If your workplace buddies are gossip friends, are they really someone you can trust in the end? You think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re your friend and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about you, but do you honestly believe that to be true? People who gossip like to dig for â&#x20AC;&#x153;dirtâ&#x20AC;?. They may go too far and someone gets hurt. They bring up rumors and hearsay too, but do you really care, even if it were true? Forget the meaningless chitchat and childish chatter. Stop the gossiping and talk about things that matter. Do unto others, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all heard, and if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say something nice, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say a word. Gossiping in the workplace is something to avoid. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it to fit in, or if you are bored. The way to stop gossiping is to not participate. Just go about your business and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help spread hate.
