School Board meets with architects, moves ahead with school bond projects
Gas prices fall
By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher The Pender County School Board met with architects contracted for the school bond projects at a lengthy meeting Tuesday night. Board members heard project plans from representatives from the firms and ideas on timetables for the projects. “The timelines on these projects are starting to shape up,” said School Board member Tom Roper. “Once the drawings are ready, then the bidding on the projects can take place. Once the construction contracts are awarded, the actual construction can begin. Right now, we are getting the drawings together and an inventory of what we want with the buildings – all the things we expect for the buildings to be. The renovations are fairly straight forward.” Roper says the School Board has some flexibility in design of the buildings, but the N.C. Department of Public Instruction has a number of requirements that must be followed. “Things like classroom size,
Walmart brings gas war to Burgaw By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher A gas war has broken out in Burgaw as prices continue to plummet to the lowest petrol prices in Pender County. With the new Walmart gas station leading the way, the price of a gallon of gasoline fell to $2.08 in Burgaw over the weekend as the Scotchman at U.S. 117 and N.C. 53, and the Gogas station across from the Scotchman matched the Walmart price. Other sales points in Burgaw have lower prices than other stations in Pender County, but not as low as the three stations around Walmart. Prices are as high as $2.24 at one station in Burgaw. Rocky Point stations are holding prices up with a gallon of gas ranging from $2.33 to $2.35. In eastern Pender County, gas prices remain high compaired to Burgaw, with prices ranging from $2.31 to $2.35 per gallon of regular unleaded. Some areas of North Carolina – Raleigh, Charlotte and the Triad – are reporting gas prices that have fallen below $2 a gallon One year ago, gas prices in North Carolina averaged $3.34 a gallon.
hallways, things like that are mandated by the state. We have flexibility in wall, roof and exterior types, things like that. Our meeting was a mixed bag of general architectural discussions, where we go from here and how we get there.” School officials hope to be able to use previous designs from the architects to save money in design. “We don’t want to create anything crazy and spend a lot of money. Our goal is to reuse some very good, proven architectural stuff they have already done. We want to find buildings that are proof of concept for them. They have built them and they understand the cost are are proven to be good school designs,” Roper said. “We are looking for recommendations from the architects.” Roper cited Trask High School as an example of using

Hot Spot list targets Burgaw problem areas By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publishers Burgaw residents can now make police aware of problems through the department’s Hot Spot list. Burgaw Police Chief Jim Hock says the list is an opportunity for residents to tell the police about problems they observe and the information will be passed along to the patrol officers. “Many times I hear from people who are at the gas station, grocery store, or near their home and there is say, a four-way stop sign and people are running through that sign. I wanted one central location where citizens with safety concerns can let us know,” Hock said. “This way we can document it and let all the officers know. It’s basically where citizens have concerns for safety and traffic issues. I have the list posted on the door where the officers leave the office and as they work these areas I can show this is an area of concern and this is what we are doing to try to address

It’s just something I think we can use to protect the citizens and open up lines of communications.”
From Staff Reports Matthew Deans, age 29 of Wilmington, was indicted yesterday by a Pender County Grand Jury on two counts of involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of Dobbs and Reed Eddings. Deans is scheduled to appear in Pender County Superior Court Sept. 2. Deans is charged in the deaths of the Eddings children that occurred in a traffic accident at the intersection of U.S. 17 and Sloop Point Loop Road in Hampstead May 23. The crash killed Reed Eddings, the unborn child of
Gentry and Hadley Eddings, who were also injured in the accident. Dobbs Eddings, age 2, was killed in the accident. The Eddings family was returning to Charlotte after attending a family event on Topsail Island. Gentry Eddings is a worship leader at Forest Hill Church in Charlotte. Hadley underwent emergency surgery at New Hanover Regional Medical Center following the accident to deliver the baby, who was flown to the N.C. Children’s Hospital in Chapel Hill. The child later died.

Program checks on those living alone By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher Burgaw Police have revived a program to help the elderly and other individuals who may live alone. The RUOK program is designed to make regular phone calls to individuals who sign up with the Police Department to check on their well-being. “This is a program that was started a few years ago, but it’s down to just a few names on the list. I know there are a lot more elderly or those who live alone in Burgaw,” said Police Chief Jim Hock. “Individuals or family members can request contact from one

Answer me when I call, O God of my right! You gave me room when I was in distress. Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer‌ There are many that say, “Who will show us any good?â€? Lord, Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us. Psalm 4:1,6 “Who will show us any good?â€? It’s the word going around. It’s the talk on the street. It’s the concern of many or so it seems including the writer of this psalm. We’re looking for some good in our lives. Where will it come from? Who will deliver it to us? What or who can bring goodness, blessedness, pleasure and joy to us in this world? Will the government show us any good? Well, yes and no. Sometimes, once in a while, Government does do us good and then sometimes it creates headaches. There are too many interest views, ideas, interests. It’s a balancing act trying to keep everyone happy. Can we count on government to show us good consistently, impartially, reliably? I think not. What about business. Will the big corporations and large industries give us goodness. No doubt they contribute to the ease of one’s life, but goodness is not the
corporate bottom line. When push comes to shove, business tends to show goodness only to itself. The rest of us get lost in the shuffle. We could probably go on like this all day. We could analyze every institution we can think of and I believe that in the end we would find them all lacking. But the Psalmist does have an answer, at least one that seems to satisfy him. It will come as no surprise that the psalmist’s answer to this question is God. God is the one who will, who does, who consistently shows us good. But the psalmist doesn’t just give us the answer. He offers five proofs for his assertion. There are in this psalm at least five proofs for how God shows us good, five reasons to believe that God is indeed the answer to our questions, the end of our search for blessedness in our lives. The first proof of God’s goodness is that God hears you when you pray. “The Lord hears me when I call to him,� the psalmist asserts. In the midst of struggle, in the throes of distress, in the midst of turmoil and trouble; I pray and the Lord hears me. “You gave me room in my distress,� the psalmist says. That is God broadened my options, presented me with new ideas and opportunities. When I was trapped God

showed me a way out. He comes to us in our need, he gives us room to maneuver in our struggles and he lifts us when we fall. That’s how God shows us good. The second proof of God’s goodness is that God shows us mercy. If you think about it that is a real gift. There is so little mercy in our world, so little give and a lot of take. There are many who are ready to judge us and judge quite harshly; but the word of the Lord is mercy... the way of the Lord is mercy. The gospel is a word of mercy... “Blessed,� Jesus said, “are the merciful for they shall receive mercy.� That is those who give mercy will know mercy and they will know the goodness of God. God shows us his good because he offers us mercy even in our sin, even in our weakness, even in our rebellion and rejection of his
word. He still speaks mercy to us. And that is goodness indeed. The third proof of God’s goodness is that he saves us for himself. “The Lord has set apart the faithful for himself,� the psalmist recounts. God claims us as His own, shelters us by his power, protects us by his abiding presence and guides us by his spirit. God does not leave us alone. God does not leave us on our own; but God claims us for Himself, as a father constantly cares for his child come what may, as a mother constantly claims her own no matter what he has done or become. God saves us from ourselves, but what’s more he saves us for himself... for his kingdom, for his love, for his ministry in the world. God shows us good by making us his own.

Master Gardener plant sale Sept. 11-12 By Lori Kirkpatrick Post & Voice Staff Writer The Pender County Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Association is preparing to hold its annual Fall Plant Sale. This two-day event will take place Sept. 11 from noon to 6 p.m. and Sept. 12 from 8:30 a.m. until noon at Hampstead United Methodist Church. The sale will feature an extensive variety of nursery grown pollinator, deer resistant, salt tolerant and edible trees, shrubs and flowers. Plants that have been especially propagated by the Master Gardeners will also be available. From Goji berries and Southern Lilacs to exotic orchids and other house plants, there will be an abundant supply of popular and unusual plants on hand. With fall on its way, planting season is just around the corner. Master Gardeners will be on site to offer a much needed service to our steadily growing community by helping visitors find the right plant for the right space and by providing an education booth at the sale. Throughout the day, Master Gardeners will also give short demonstrations on topics such as: “How to Collect Seeds in the Fall,” “How to Maintain Japanese Maples in Your Yard,” and much more. Proceeds from the plant sale will benefit gardening education programs that reach numerous Pender County residents daily. These programs include instruction of second and third-grade students in Pender County Schools, demonstration gardens at the Hampstead Library and the County Extension Service in Burgaw, a mobile Speakers’ Bureau unit, and various Aska-Master Gardener events that are hosted throughout the county. T he Master Gardeners
have also offered an Info-Line service for the past two years to field walk-in, email, and over the phone gardening related inquiries. At the Fall Plant Sale, participants from Pender County will also have an opportunity to register for the upcoming Master Gardener training session to be offered in January by Pender County Horticultural and Local Foods Extension Agent Tim Mathews. Mathews said the extension office plans to continue with a lot of the programs they have done in the past. “The plant sales that the Master Gardeners do are the way that we raise money to keep our programs going,” said Mathews. “We have the school outreach program, where our master gardeners go into the school once a month and work with students. They present hands-on activities to the children that go right along with the curriculum the state has set. It’s not taking time away from what the children need to learn just to do a fun activity – it’s a fun activity that supplements the learning they’re already getting in school.” Another program offered by the extension office is the speakers’ bureau. “Our speakers’ bureau does a presentation about once a month, and it ranges from pollinators and protecting our pollinators to seed-starting and propagation workshops, to drought-tolerant plants and deer-resistant plants,” said Mathews. “We cover a wide range of topics, and we’re continuously trying to put new topics out there. These are presentations that the Master Gardeners research and put together themselves. Usually when somebody comes into our Master Gardener program, they have something that they’re really passionate
about. I encourage them to develop something as part of the speakers’ bureau. If a garden club or community civic group would like a presentation, they can call in and ask for a presentation on specific topics. “We’ll go into the community and do these speaking presentations, and we have the research to back up what we tell them. We’re not trying to sell them anything or persuade anybody. We’re just trying to provide people with research-based information to better their gardening efforts, and help them safeguard the environment and conserve our resources.” The Master Gardeners also provide Ask-a-Master Gardener booths at several locations. One is available at Poplar Grove Plantation on the second Wednesday of each month from April through October from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. A booth is open at the Hampstead Library on the third Monday of the same months from 10:30 a.m. unill 1 p.m. From May to August, the Surf City Summer Market has a booth on the fourth Tuesday of each month. Local residents are invited to stop by with their gardening questions, and to bring in plants they have inquiries about. Mathews described the Extension office as one of the best landscaped buildings in the county. This is due to the Master Gardeners planning, planting and taking care of the place as a demonstration garden. “It’s not just to be pretty,” began Mathews. “Some plants are put out there to research and see if it will do ok here. We try to make it a droughttolerant garden, so we don’t use an ir rigation system. People can come and see if a plant grows here, maybe it will grow in their gardens

There are weekly teams that come out throughout the year, and that’s how we keep it looking as good as it does.” Mathews said that one of the biggest challenges he faces is making the community aware they are there and available to answer g ardening questions. When he asks people where they go to ask questions about their gardens, they often tell him they call the Arboretum. He wants the community to know the extension office has an Info Line available on Mondays from 1-4 p.m. and on Fridays from 9 a.m. until noon, and that the speakers’ bureau is available to the community as well. Hampstead United Methodist Church is located at 15395 U.S. Highway 17 N. in Hampstead. To reach the information line, call (910) 2591238.

This way we reasonably know what the cost is going to be because they have built them before. The cost question is with any

Applications can be dropped off at the police department. “We want to try to get more involvement in this program, plus it helps the officers and citizens get to know each other on a more personal level,” said Hock. “Someone might be fine, but they didn’t answer the phone so we will send an officer to their home to check. It’s good positive interaction between the police department and the public. We are trying to provide another resource and comfort to families that other folks are looking out for their family members as well.”

Currently the Board is working through easements. “There were a couple of very small parcels of land that we had issues with ownership. The tax records didn’t actually reflect deed records. It is our goal to have this wrapped up by the end of the year,” said Roper. “We are pushing toward making that happen.”

On Island Time
Crime happens, but can all help It’s a sad fact, but property crimes happen. It’s been fifty years since people could truly leave their doors unlocked without concern that a thief was watching and waiting. This isn’t a reflection on law enforcement, but rather on society itself. Regardless of the root causes of crime, which politicians faithfully promise to consider doing something about, crime can, will and does happen, even in the safest of neighborhoods. With an average of three officers on duty in the county, and two on the beat in towns, Keep an eye on your it’s impossible that every neighborhood, and meet street and road be patrolled at your neighbors.

Strange vehicles, seedy-looking door-to-door sales people, odd behavior – any of these could be perfectly innocent, but they often involve misbehavior, too. Whether or not we want to “get involved,” we are all involved. Statistics show five out of every 100 people will be affected by property crime this year, even if it’s just the theft of a handful of change from an automobile ashtray. We don’t need to be vigilantes, by any means, but we all need to be vigilant. We live in a detached society, where in some areas neighbors communicate only through social media, rather than picking up a telephone or even walking next door. This is a sad reflection on our modern society, and one could legitimately make the argument that when we were still neighbors, there was less crime. Keep an eye on your neighborhood, and meet your neighbors. You don’t have to form a Community Watch, but just look out for one another. It isn’t being nosy or pushy or judgmental – it’s being smart.

Pender Stories
Watson the cat
Bill Messer Last winter when it was too cold and windy to walk along the beach on Topsail Island, Kathy and I strolled the walkways in Surf City’s Soundside Park. During one walk, we noticed a tan and brown cat in the tall grass near the parking lot, and some empty bowls. The cat came closer to see if we had brought food, but not close enough to pet. The cat came to the food dish, and would let Kathy scratch her, but only a little bit. Her companion cat would not come any closer than about 20 feet. The tan cat seemed well fed, plump even, but then one day she was suddenly skinny. We realized she had been pregnant. By this time we started to see other cats, and I met someone else who feeds the cats regularly. And then one day they were all gone. These were feral cats, wild, and from what I understand, there is a loose network of volunteers, as well as the county, who, with limited funding, people and time, sometimes collect the
cats and ‘fix’ them. It’s easy to tell which ones have been neutered because the tip of an ear will be ‘snipped’. From time to time I drive a tractor at Poplar Grove, pulling a wagon full of kids through the woods, around the back roads, and sometimes as far as the pond, and take them on foot for one or more miles on a nature hike around the property. The kids enjoy feeding the pond turtles, so I always bring a handful of cat food from the barn. A few weeks ago I was reporting for duty, on my way to check in with the Tourism Director, Felicia Greene. Near the office, at the bottom of the steps, there was a cat, mostly black, curled up and snoozing. Unlike all the rest of the cats, he didn’t get up and run away when I came closer. He stayed, and I sat down on the bottom step to see if he would come closer. To my great surprise, he not only came closer, he climbed the step, then climbed into my lap and curled up again. I scratched his head gently and his ‘motor’ started up, purring contentedly. The next time I checked in, I brought a few pieces of cat food and let him eat them from my hand. We bonded. I did this a couple more times, and he seemed perfectly comfortable. I learned quickly enough he wasn’t used to being handled all that

Wheels down
The Post & Voice’s quotes of the week “The timelines on these projects are starting to shape up...We don’t want to create anything crazy and spend a lot of money.”
Pender County School Board Member Tom Roper on the work on the School Bond projects.
“I wanted one central location where citizens with safety concerns can let us know.” Burgaw Police Chief Jim Hock on the new Hot List to target problem areas around Burgaw.
The Golden Month of Promise August was in its last throes of a well-deserved retirement when I saw gold the other evening. Although it isn’t quite September as I write these words, I saw September’s golden promise in the fields, being mined by a benevolent big green monster, the tires alone of which are larger than any tractor I’ve ever driven. The brown corn stalks were methodically chewed, the ears stripped and ground, and the refined gold poured out into a hopper that had to be emptied every few rows into a truck for transport to the silos. I rode through the same field a few years ago as the same green monster did its work, bringing to fruition the work and worry and stress of a spring and summer with either too little or not enough rain, temperatures too hot or too cool. I was riding with the late Elliot Henry as we sought a particularly stubborn and stealthy beaver dam. The then-teenaged son of the farmer who worked the land waved at us from the air-conditioned, stereoequipped tractor cab. “I tell you, Bo,” Mr. Elliot said, gesturing at one of the six-wheeled combines chewing down the corn, “we harvested this corn behind a team when I was his age. In good years you couldn’t see the end of the row when you were in the middle of the field, it was so tall.” Corn isn’t the only gold of September, of course; the ninth month brought some spare change to some of us kids when the tobacco markets opened. I thought about the excitement of that day the other morning as I cruised along, philosophically and physically stuck behind one of the rarest of beasts on the road these days, a train of skinny trailers hauling golden leaves to the curing barn. I had to wonder for a moment if the odd-looking trailers are still called sleds, even though they have wheels and except for being towed past an oc-
Jefferson Weaver casional happy accident of a mule, none have been hauled by hoof-power for decades. While some kids waited with bated breath for the day they were old enough to start working in the tobacco fields, others of us scrambled off the school buses to gather the lost leaves of the burlap sheets being hauled to the warehouses for sale. I reckon I was in the last part of the last generation to really appreciate the excitement of the opening day of tobacco sales. Between the banners slung across main streets throughout the Bright Leaf and Border Belts, the tinny rapidfire chant of the auctioneer, and yes, the occasional badly drunken farmer who tied one on in the bar beside our newspaper office, it was a big time when you were a little kid in a small town. A young’un willing to carefully gather those errant leaves from the roadside could make a few dollars here and there; whether the owner of the warehouse was placating us in the name of good public relations, making a killing off the mixed grade leaf we proudly delivered, or whether it was somewhere in between, I shall never know nor care. All I knew for sure was that he treated us like we were just as important as the farmers and producers and tobacco representatives wan-
dering the sweet-smelling aisles, turning leaves and occasionally lifting cards to make a bid. September’s gold comes not just from the fields, but from the skies as well. Public pressure from some with no appreciation of tradition got our dove seasons changed around to the first Saturday of September or Labor Day, whichever comes first, and confused matters further with the addition of the morning shooting times. Everyone knows dove shooting ain’t supposed to start until after noon on opening day, but then again, kids no longer buy shotgun shells with money made from selling lost tobacco leaves, either. Doves may not be as prestigious as waterfowl, as sneaky as turkeys, or as polite as quail, but they are still my favorite gamebird. There was never a better time created than racing down the road on a bicycle, with a single barrel shotgun carefully cased and slung on the frame, with a bag lunch and a couple boxes of No. 8s or 7 1/2s in the baskets or your pockets, with a good dog running pell-mell alongside. We arrived early, usually too early, at the appointed place on opening day. After the obligatory lecture by our adult chaperones, a quick prayer and maybe lunch, we’d take our places around one of those fields mined of its grains of gold a few days before, and await the opening salvo of September, saying farewell to summer and welcoming autumn with a disjointed 21-gun salute (sometimes more, depending on how the birds were flying). Autumn’s gold was in the pink and violet feathers under the gray silver wings of the tiny rockets that jinked and zig-zagged their way across the fields. There are few things in this world as beautiful as a clear September sunset flashing off the breast of a mourning

I don’t believe I have ever seen the wheels hit the pavement on an airplane landing until my most recent flight. It was a puddle jumper, obviously, and I was sitting directly under the wing. I enjoyed the experience, and it warmed my heart to see Piedmont Airlines printed on the side of the aircraft, as I truly thought this was a thing of the past. I thought the same of our next move, which involved scaling the short staircase off the airplane to stand behind a line painted on the tarmac in anticipation of retrieving our luggage. And this was at LaGuardia airport in New York City. The trip home was similar, except I flew out of an airport the size of a shoebox. Very cute, it was, with the tightest security I have ever experienced; Thank you New Haven for keeping our skies safe. We were on time to Philly, only to be delayed more than two hours to Wilmington. After hours of work in the restaurant, I retired to one of the massaging recliners lining the wall across from our crowded gate cramped with impatient passengers. Suddenly, three gentlemen came running to the gate beside ours, frantically waving their boarding passes in the air, begging to board the plane preparing to take off. I watched from my massage chair as they pleaded with the gate agent, and I saw their spirits sink as the jet bridge retracted and the stairs folded up into the small plane. Meanwhile, a supervisor strolled up and though I could not hear their conversation, I experienced the excitement as the stairs came down like a spaceship, and he quickly escorted them out the side door to board the aircraft. Within a matter of minutes, the stairs went up, the plane backed out and they were in the air. Meanwhile I enjoyed the final five minutes of my 15minute chair massage No doubt, the best $5 investment ever. Perfect preparation for my one hour catnap in flight, in preparation for the same time on the road to the island. It was the wee hours of the morning by the time I got there, but well worth the wait to have my wheels down on the ground in my garage. Truly, there’s no place like home. It is my battery charger, my wheels down in the world and the farther and more frequently I travel, the more this is so. Where do you put your wheels down and how closely do you monitor your landings? Can you see the landing gear unfold from the wing and watch as the stairs come down? Do you get to stand outside on the tarmac, or exit through the traditional sky bridge? Enjoy the journey, and take note how many times your wheels come down safely on a daily basis. I always enjoy an adventure, but nothing compares to the feel of the wheels on the ground at my final destination.

Interaction is what is’s all about
Tammy Proctor Pender County Tourism Director Interacting with people outside Pender County is a treat in our tourism office. Last week Dana, the tourism assistant, sent vacation information to a family in Brazil. I fielded a telephone call from a man living in Massachusetts. He said last winter was the worst winter he had ever endured and he wasn’t spending another frigid winter in New England. He wanted information about relocating to Pender County. Dana helped a young teen who wanted information about where Under the Dome was filmed. Dana showed the teen the conference room and photos of Marg

Another brush with Catholicism My Catholic friend Rebecca has a Catholic kid who had to have a Catholic christening at the Catholic church. Anyway, I was under the naive impression that the christening would involve the naming and God blessing of the child with the official Godfather of the Catholic kid (who had to be a Catholic himself) watching on. I know that there are Catholic rules about who may be involved in this process and the naming of the Godfather is taken quite seriously. Apparently, the Godfather is an extension of the family, a sort of paternal backup who buys his Godchild gifts and serves as the guardian should the biologicals make like a tree and leave unexpectedly. Normally, the selection of a Godfather is reserved for

We work hard through social media to connect with potential visitors beyond Pender County’s boundaries. We try to be timely in responding to our Facebook “friends.� It brings a smile to my face when someone “pins� a photograph we’ve taken and placed on Pinterest or when one of our Tweets is retweeted by other agencies. Why do we bother with social media? It connects potential visitors to Pender. It provides us the opportunity to showcase the restaurants, the attractions, and the beauty of Pender County. With the partnership with Fireball Run, we have another outlet to showcase Coastal Pender. On the Fireball Run website is a link to Topsail Island and attractions in Pender. Go to Fireballrun. com and scroll down to the Space Race destinations. You’ll find Pender represented on the website. Speaking of Fireball Run
Residents are welcomed to come out and watch as the production rolls into town. The start/finish line will be located at the beach access in Surf City, next door to the welcome center. Watch the production crew film the arrival of four astronauts, celebrities and leaders of industry. They will drive a wide array of vehicles – from a $4 million Vector to Ferraris. They will arrive on Sept. 29, approximately 3 p.m. The participants will complete “challenges� – which are top secret – at various attractions on Topsail Island. The public portion of the day will conclude approximately 5:30 p.m. The Mayors’ Reception, a ticketed event, will begin at 6 p.m. The next morning, at 9 a.m., the Fireball Run participants will gather for a rousing departure. The Dixon High School Marching Band will help lead them out of town. All of this will be recorded by the film crew. You are invited to come on out and cheer them as they head for their next destination. For information watch our daily Fireball Run countdown on Facebook, or call the tourism office.
individuals who emulate the ideals of the Catholic faith and demonstrate a strong religious compass. Imagine my surprise when Rebecca asked my husband, the guy who is as far from Catholic as the ocean is wide, to be her son’s Godfather. I wondered if Rebecca and Garland knew something that I didn’t about my husband. Perhaps Daniel was an underground Catholic who’d had an upbringing that he refused to enlighten me about. Daniel, of course, was completely honored to be little Garland’s Godfather. I imagined him dressed in a pin striped suit, hair slicked back, scanning his eyes slyly from left to right to see if anyone was tailing him. However, as christening day arrived, Daniel grew increasingly nervous about his role in the ceremony. Rebecca assured him that he should simply follow her lead and that all the Catholics would just love him to pieces. At mid-service, my Baptist daughter Lindsay decided it was time to use the restroom, so we snuck out of a side door to take care of business. Upon reentering the church, I noticed a long line of folks standing in front of the priest. In a panic, I surveyed the room and saw no Godfather or Catholic friend in sight. My first instinct was to slink to the safety of our seats in the back, but that didn’t seem to be the trend. Besides, I truly wanted to be a team player, so I decided that the best course of action
would be to join the back of the line and play along. Being ever so observant, I watched as the priest placed a cookie in the mouths of the people ahead of me. This looked vaguely familiar, so I directed Lindsay to follow my every move. Besides, it was almost high noon and my stomach was growling uncontrollably. Lindsay’s bag of Teddy Grahams were history, so I thought one more tiny treat would be fine before lunch. As we approached the priest, he placed the cookie (which really wasn’t) in our mouths as I attempted my best sign of the cross (still backwards because I hadn’t learned the right way yet). Feeling as pleased as punch that I was really starting to fit in, I glanced to my left and noticed that Rebecca didn’t look jovial any longer. Her face was red and her head bowed low. I really thought she saw me wave as I gave a thumbs up and mouthed, Look-I’m doing it. She didn’t wave back. It was after the service that I realized the source of Rebecca’s discomfort. I, a non-Catholic, accepted holy communion and so did my Baptist daughter. Apparently, this is a big no-no in the Catholic circles. Fortunately, I was able to keep my lack of Catholic game under wraps for the rest of the afternoon and, when Lindsay did anything wrong, I responded with a loud, “Stop that, Mary Catherine,� just to be on the safe side.
ball is over with (except for the professionals) it’s time for the Friday Night Lights, when football still matters and kids still love the game for what it means. I could care less about most sports beyond the high school level – indeed, above junior varsity, I sense more formulae than heart in many cases— but high school football is so much more than just a game. Where the love of the sport still exists, there is a higher quality of athletics as well as athlete, in my opinion. It makes me feel a bit aged sometimes when I realize
that some of the kids I taught as children in Sunday School and VBS are graduating high school this year, but then again, September is a time for philosophical leaning, There is much more to September, of course; her gold runs rich and deep, and the mine never runs out. Her treasures are varied, if one has the common sense to slow down and look around. Take a deep breath – feel that?

Stopping robocalls Dear Savvy Senior, What can I do to stop the perpetual prerecorded robocalls I keep getting? I’m signed up with the National Do Not Call Registry, but it seems like I still get three or four robo telemarketing calls a day offering lower credit card interest rates, medical alert devices and more. Fed Up Senior Dear Fed Up, Millions of Americans on the National Do Not Call Re gistry (donotcall.gov) complain they still receive unwanted calls from robocallers. Why? Because most robocalls are scams run by con artists who are only trying to trick you out of your money, and they simply ignore the law. But there’s good news on the horizon. A few months ago, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) passed a rule giving telecommunication companies more leeway to block robocalls. Before this ruling, the FCC has always required phone companies to complete all calls, much in the same way the postal service is required to deliver all your mail, even the junk. So, look for your phone service provider to start offering call-blocking tools in the future. But in the meantime, here are some things you can do to reduce those unwanted calls. s3ET UP hANONYMOUS CALL rejection� option: This is a free landline-calling feature available from most tele-

Fixing failing schools North Carolina has been talking for years about fixing failing schools, but so far it is mostly talk. It isn’t easy to discuss some of the underlying issues involved without sounding accusatory, discriminatory or harsh, but for the sake of all our children we must cut through the Gordian knot we have created. . Most failing schools have a preponderance of students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, frequently single parent homes where the parent either isn’t able or willing to provide the encouragement needed for the child’s success in school. This often becomes a discussion stopper because schools can’t fix socioeconomic problems or force parents to do what is needed for their child’s success. These children come to school unprepared and remain behind, unable to per-
phone companies. It lets you screen out calls from callers who have blocked their caller ID information – a favorite tactic of telemarketers. To set it up, you usually have to dial *77 from your landline, though different phone services may have different procedures to set it up. Call your telephone service provider to find out if they offer this feature, and if so, what you need to do to enable it. s3IGN UP FOR .OMOROBO This is a free service and works only if you have an Internet-based VoIP phone service. It does not work on traditional analog landlines or wireless phones. Nomorobo uses a “simultaneous ring� service that detects and blocks robocalls on a black list of known offender numbers. It isn’t 100 percent foolproof, but it is an extra layer of protection. To sign up, or see if Nomorobo works with your phone service provider, visit Nomorobo.com. s"UY A ROBOCALL BLOCKING device: If you don’t mind spending a little money, purchase a call-blocking device like the Sentry 2 ($59) or Digitone Call Blocker Plus ($100), sold at Amazon.com. These small devices, which plug into your phone line allow you to blacklist numbers you no longer wish to re-
form grade level work. Too many are minorities, making race the elephant in the room. No matter how well intentioned diversity and racial parity have become almost as important as the education children receive. Mainstreaming children already unable to perform grade level work merely continues the pattern of failure for them and presents a serious dilemma for educators. Does the teacher devote a disproportionate amount of time and instruction to helping these children, making it difficult to devote sufficient attention to those at or above grade level? Does she try to be superteacher, attempting to divide time between those below as well as those at or above grade level? The outcome isn’t usually satisfactory to anyone and the teacher gets worn out trying. Or perhaps the teacher, largely evaluated by class test scores, focuses primarily on those students who can assimilate and learn. That just perpetuates the cycle of failure for those who need the most help. Parents might value efforts for diversity, but they recognize their primary responsibility is to ensure their child gets a world-class education. Often parents become frustrated with what they consider insufficient challenges for their child to excel and vote with their feet, moving to charter or private schools. This prophesies further failure, as public schools
ceive, and set up a whitelist, or manually program the phone to recognize and accept a certain number of safe numbers. Both devices are very effective. s$ON T PICK UP )F YOU have a caller ID, another tip is to simply not answer the phone unless you recognize the number. But if you do answer and it’s a robocall, you should just hang up the phone. Don’t press 1 to speak to a live operator and don’t press any other number to complain about the call or get your number off the list. If you respond by pressing any number, you’re signaling that the autodialer has reached a live number and will probably lead to more robocalls. s'ET A CELLPHONE APP 4O help with robo telemarketing calls and robo spam texts to your cellphone, get a call-screening app like Truecaller (truecaller.com) or PrivacyStar (privacystar. com) that screens and blocks them. It’s also important that you report illegal robocalls to the Federal Trade Commission at consumercomplaints.fcc. gov or call 888-225-5322, and sign the Consumer Union petition at EndRobocalls.org to pressure phone companies to start offering free callblocking technology.

CFCC update
Are you smarter than a fifth-grader?
Cindy Horrell Ramsey CFCC Director of Community Enrichment Special to the Post & Voice During CFCC Summer Camps, fifth through ninthgrade students who had never painted before created beautiful works of art under the tutelage of instructor Robin Eldridge Roller. Now it’s your turn. The course, Painting: You CAN Do It, will be held at the Burgaw Center Sept. 8-29, 6-8 p.m. The class gets its name from the instructor’s confidence and beliefs. “Anyone can paint,” says Robin Roller. “It takes 99 percent know-how and 1 percent talent.” She believes that everyone has at least that 1 percent talent, and she wants to give you the know-how. You’ll learn colors that contrast and compliment by mixing paints and studying color wheel charts. The class will waste no time starting to put paint to canvas. Just think what a wonderfully unique present you could create – if you don’t decide to keep it yourself. If you want to try your hand at other artsy and crafty ideas with classes at the Burgaw Center, you can choose from
cake decorating with Julie Chadwick Zingone, Floral Design with Debbie Carlton, and Trash to Treasure with Emily Baker. Cake Decorating will be held Friday mornings, 9 a.m. until noon, Sept. 25-Oct. 23. You’ll learn buttercream and fondant and many other tips of the trade.

You will learn to make several different types of floral arrangements and centerpieces just in time to decorate for fall and the upcoming holiday season. Are you a fan of shabby chic? Do you like to repurpose items instead of throwing them away? If so, Trash to Treasure is the class for you. You can learn how to make something old new again in three short sessions. The class will be held Monday nights, Oct. 26-Nov. 2 at the Burgaw Center. Painting: Creative Techniques meets every Monday morning at the Heritage Place, Pender Adult Services in Burgaw.

Representative Rob Bryan’s solution is to establish a pilot project to force five of our worst performing schools to either close or be taken over by successful charter schools. Based on models in Tennessee and New Orleans this might have promise but results are inconclusive. Let’s look at the problem from another viewpoint.

Ways to get kids excited about learning Many kids love the prospect of learning, while others may need a bit of motivation. But parents can get kids on board with a little encouragement and creativity to make learning fun. Here are some ideas to get kids excited to learn. Library visits By making a run-of-themill trip to the library seem like a true adventure, kids will associate books with intrigue at an impressionable age. The librarian can point out the best titles for inspiring learning and fun. Time visits to occur during your local branch’s storytelling hour or other early child-
hood programming. Also, be sure to sign your child up for a personal library card, which will be a source of pride at the circulation desk and put them on the path of reading enrichment. Learning tablets To give kids an extra edge in learning, consider a fun yet educational tablet, such as the InnoTab MAX. Durable enough for kids, this device has a 7-inch multitouch screen, and features progressive learning content that adapts to a child’s age. Web access and communication apps, which kids can use to exchange messages with friends and family, are
limited to protect children, and parents are free to manage these controls. The tablet comes with Movie Maker and Art Studio, amongst other apps, and additional content can be found at the Learning Lodge app store. “The tablet has proven to be a welcome way for kids to interact with digital media,” says Dr. Eric Klopfer, Platform Learning Expert and member of the Expert Panel at VTech, a world leader in age-appropriate and developmental stage-based electronic learning products for children. “Touch interfaces and well-crafted content have meant an easy-on ramp for
many children who lear n through this technology.” Board game night After dinner, gather round the table a second time. From classic word games that challenge one to stretch the limits of his or her vocabulary, to trivia games testing science and world history knowledge, board games have the potential to bring the family together and also to educate. Be sure to check the box for age-appropriate guidance. Wearable tech Wearable technology can inspire kids to learn and be creative while staying active. For example, the VTech Kidizoom Smartwatch DX offers
motion-activated games, a stopwatch, calendar, 3D clock face and calculator so kids can work out simple math problems. It also includes a time-telling app featuring a friendly owl that helps kids learn to tell time, and additional apps are available for download on the Learning Lodge. The internal memory offers ample storage for budding photographers and videographers documenting the world around them. Sweeten the deal Consider creating a re-
wards chart where children can track their progress as they meet lear ning goals. It can be an effective way to motivate kids to try new ways of learning and work hard to reach a goal. You can find many free downloadable charts online. More ideas can be found at www.vtechkids.com/parenting. To make learning a priority in your home, get kids on board. They’ll be inspired when they see that learning can be fun. (StatePoint)

Most of the top half of one ear tip was gone, cut straight across. Watson has white feet, a lightning bolt across his face down to the tip of his black nose, and someone I met referred to him as a ‘tuxedo’ cat. My last cat was a ‘warehouse’ cat, having been raised with two dogs in a freight transfer warehouse, and who looked for all the world like Sylvester, of the cartoon Sylvester and Tweetie. I liked the fact that Sylvester’s shot record had him misidentified as a Great Pyrenees. I always felt he thought he was a dog. “You ought to take Watson home with you,” Felicia told me one day. “No way, I already had a cat,” I told her, “and one cat was plenty. Besides, I have always been a dog person. Sylvester was just an exception.” And on another day, I picked up a magazine with dogs available for adoption in the area, and there are many. Kathy and I enjoy petting other people’s dogs on our walks, and have met many fine, happy and friendly animals. We were especially attracted to any of the mixes with poodles, but there were plenty of great ‘just plain mutts’ too. “I hear you may take Watson home with you,” Caroline Lewis, Poplar Grove’s Executive Director said. “Well,” I waffled about, “I don’t have a kitty carrier.” Caroline picked up the phone and before I knew it someone had brought a carrier up from the barn. I was trapped. “I tell you what. I’ll take Watson on a trial for three days, and if it doesn’t work out, I’ll bring him back,” I offered, and she and Felicia agreed. Watson didn’t flinch when I picked him up and put him in the carrier. Watson meows like other cats, but he makes hardly any sound at all. He purrs just fine, but his meows are so high pitched as to be outside normal

hearing range. I let him loose in the house. I had already bought food and kitty litter, and he headed for the food bowl. Then he did a little exploring, and took a lot of naps. From time to time he would disappear, exploring behind the sofa and book cases, and the missed corners, emerging with a face full of dusty cobwebs and dust balls. Three days quickly passed into two weeks. I put a collar on him, which he wasn’t keen on, and them got him a shiny stainless steel tag with his name and my phone number on it, got him some flea drops, and took him to the vet, Dr. Barnes. “Nice kitty,” he had remarked, checked him out, reviewed his papers and recommended a series of shots. ‘Nice Kitty’ turned into Satan’s demon spawn minion after the first shot and Dr. Barnes brought in the blanket and heavy glove. As we wrapped the cat in the blanket, he warned, “Watch out for the back feet” and we immobilized Watson for the last three shots. Dr. Barnes advised me that a worm test was $20 but the worm medicine was $2 and left it up to me to decide whether to spend $20 and take a worm test sample from somewhere we both knew the cat wasn’t going to enjoy at all, or just go ahead and ‘worm’ him. That was easy. I was certain I didn’t want to be the one holding the cat while Dr. Barnes took the sample. The ‘wormer’ was like toothpaste in consistency, and Dr. Barnes squirted it from a syringe well back into the cat’s throat. Finally, Dr. Barnes lifted up the lips with his thumb and examined Watson’s teeth and gums. “You’ve got a fine, healthy cat,” he said, as I noticed a few beads of blood welling up on his arm. “You gotta’ be the bravest guy I know, doin’ that kind of stuff to a very reluctant cat,” I said, and he nodded but said it was all in a day’s work. Kathy thought Watson needed a housewarming gift to make him comfortable in his new home and bought him a cat bed, plush with a leopard skin print, and put it on the floor to see what he thought. Watson sniffed it here and there,

Titans 44-Mustangs 10
Titans use big second half to pound South Robeson By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Heide Trask Titan football coach Johnathan Taylor has preached to his team about adversity. He knows that for his team to be successful, they have to learn how to handle adversity. last Friday night the South Robeson Mustangs scored on the first play of the game and Coach Taylor was concerned about how his team would handle being down. The Titans came through with flying colors as they answered that score with a touchdown of their own and after falling behind to the home team reeled off 36 unanswered points in taking a 44-10 win. “We’ve been talking about how we’re going to handle adversity. After they scored I wondered what we would do. They didn’t hang their head. They went to work and bowed their backs and went after it. I am extremely proud of the way we fought back.” South Robeson came out on fire. They took the opening kickoff back 75

yards for a touchdown and added a twopoint conversion to take an 8-0 lead. The Titans answered with a score and added another score on a Kansas Bannerman fumble recovery and 42-yard return. Both times the conversion failed and the Titans held a 12-8 lead. South Robeson’s defense sacked the Titans in the end zone for a safety in the opening minutes of the second period and the Titans were nursing a twopoint lead. The Titans scored 14 points to close out the half and take a 26-10 lead. The Titan defense came out in the second half with a renewed intensity that Coach Taylor would describe as “lights out,” while the Mustangs struggled to move the football the Titan offense had no such problem. Trask added a touch-
down in the third quarter and 10 more points in the final period. Tyrease Armstrong led the Titans with 102 yards rushing and a touchdown. He also threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to junior running back Steven Jordan. The Titans finished the night with 223 yards rushing at an average of 7.2 yards a carry. Bannerman led the defense with six tackles and 2.5 sacks. He also had a fumble recovery and return for the touchdown. Johnathan Jordan also had two sacks as the Titan defense registered multiple sacks for the second straight week. Coach Taylor commended his team as a whole and was impressed with the play of his defense. “Our line and linebackers did a heck of a job. Dante D’Ambrosia really did a great job for us. If he continues to play like that along with Kansas, we’ll be tough.” The Titans (1-1) will host West Columbus on Friday night.
Pirates 44-Patriots 14
Running game, defense leads Topsail to win By Lee Wagner Contributing Sports Writer Two games into the 2014 season it’s tough to gauge just how good the Topsail High School football team really is. The Pirates have once again opened a new campaign with a pair of victories over county rivals Trask and Pender, beating the Titans 16-7 last year and 40-13 in 2013, and the Patriots 26-16 in 2014 and 29-12 the year before. But Topsail Coach Wayne Inman, who guided the Pirates through those two years, will be the first to tell you that things didn’t go so well in those seasons after the two opening wins. Topsail finished 3-8 last season and 4-8 in 2013. So Inman was cautious this past Friday night when he evaluated his team – citing the need to overcome some mistakes – but he was also solid in his praise of both his offense and defense. After all, when you have outscored your first two opponents by a combined score of 72-26, regardless of who they are, there is reason for optimism. Senior Drew Gaither ran for 97 yards and a touchdown and freshman D. J. Montano had 141 yards with two scores as Topsail defense Pender 4014 Friday night to improve to 2-0 on their way to capturing the mythical Pender County championship.
While the Pirates’ offense was powering their way to 280 yards on the ground behind their excellent offense line, the Topsail defense was giving the Patriots’ offense fits. Pender managed a total of nine yards of offense in the first half and 76 in the game – 56 of them coming in the last 5:31 of the game, mostly against Pirate substitutes. “The defense swarmed to the ball very well,” Inman said. “We had 11 guys working the defense, working to get to the football. We knew if that guy (Justin Hooper) got out into space we’d be in trouble. They played extremely disciplined defense, did their jobs and didn’t let anyone get behind them. That was the key. “Offensively we did what we do best and that’s run the football. The line is playing extremely well and we’re doing, like I said, what we do best, and we have to keep getting better at it. And Jacob (sophomore quarterback Floyd) is doing a good job of managing the game. Several times out there he changed the play and we flipped to the other side and he made so good calls, so he’s managing the game very well.” After a Pender four-andout and a short punt, Topsail moved 48 yards on 10 plays on their opening drive to take an 8-0 lead on a two-yard run by

Lady Patriots drop tough five-set match at Topsail By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer After falling to a powerful Laney Buccaneer squad early in the week the Pender Patriot volleyball team picked itself up off of the proverbial canvas and traveled to Topsail where they were set to take on yet another tough foe in the Lady Pirates. The scrappy Patriot spikers jumped on the Pirates early and took a two game lead before falling 3-2. Laney presents a huge problem to most teams as they have a big front line along with a very athletic back line. The young Patriots are still working on finding their confidence along with team cohesiveness. The Bucs used a relentless game at the net to take a 3-0 win. The scores were 25-17, 25-9 and 25-16. Next up was cross county rival Topsail. The Pirates have restocked after losing a couple of big hitters and are poised to make another run deep into the postseason. The Patriots

In My Opinion
By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer
The three area football teams are two games into their 2015 schedule and all three will be finishing their non-conference slate soon. Every coach is different and looks at their non-conference slate in a different way. Some coaches look at the early games as a way to build confidence. That is especially true for a program that has not had an abundance of success. Usually a 1A school will try and schedule a couple of teams that they have a chance of beating in the early going, especially if they are in a rebuilding mode. There are exceptions to the rule. Wallace – Rose Hill usually schedules a couple of 4A schools in the early going or even a real good 3A team with the hope that this will prepare the team for another run at a state title. The Bulldogs are definitely an exception to the rule. As a new school to the 3A ranks the Topsail Pirates are in a changing pattern. The Pirates play Trask and Pender early in the year. I believe that these teams are scheduled because of
the gates that they bring because of the in county rivalries. I also believe that if the Topsail coaching staff had their choice, they would schedule a couple of 2A or 3A schools instead. Other sports also use this formula. The Pender volleyball team plays a very tough non-conference schedule. They are currently 0-5 after playing the likes of Topsail and Laney. I can tell you that Patriot coach Matt Davis is not losing any sleep over that 0-5 mark. He knows that his team will be better because of the tough schedule when his team enters conference play. Remember, the Patriots were 14-0 in conference play last year after starting 4-8. Sometimes a non-conference schedule is set up by necessity. In other words a team may have to take certain games just to fill up a space. This often happens when a new coach takes over or a young A.D. is in charge. Schedules are often put together over the phone by an AD. He may call on a fellow athletic director that he has known for some time. He may even call in a favor. There are a lot of things done behind the scenes when it comes to making up a non-conference schedule. An athletic director has to take many things into consideration including travel time and competitiveness. This is one part of the job that they probably would love to do without. Of course, this is just my opinion.

Kicker’s Corner By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Pender County high school soccer teams are just beginning their quest for what each hopes will be a very successful season. Both Trask and Pender are in the very tough Four County Conference that includes perennial state contender WallaceRose Hill. Topsail is beginning their second year in the Mid-Eastern Conference that includes both 3A and 4A members. Last week the Topsail kickers (0-1-1) opened play with a 1-1 tie with Cape Fear Academy. Senior Derek Bryant scored Topsail’s lone goal in a game that was called with 25 minutes left on the clock due to inclement weather. Last Thursday the Pirates traveled to Richlands and lost 4-1. Sophomore Roberto Vasquez scored for Topsail in game where first half ended knotted at 1-1. Three goals allowed the Onslow County squad to pull away. Tyler Davis recorded eight saves in goal for the Pirates. The Pender Patriot soccer team dropped a non-conference tilt to North Brunswick. The score was 7-2. On the 24th the Patriots earned a 4-1 win over South Lenoir. Their record is 1-2-1. The Trask Titan kickers won two matches last week in a home and away series with East Columbus. In the first game of the week, a home contest for
After struggling through their first four matches without winning a game, the Pender High School volleyball team not only won once against county rival Topsail, they won a second game and appeared for a major breakthrough against the 3A Lady Pirates. But a different Topsail team took the floor in the third game of the non-conference matchup and produced a 25-18 triumph over the Lady
Patriots, and that set the tone for the rest of the evening. Senior Payton Schoenleber finished with 26 assists, six aces, seven kills, and seven digs, classmate Madi Ford had eight kills, five aces, six blocks, and one dig, and sophomore twin-sisters Serena and Angelica Biele combined for 24 points, 14 kills, seven aces, four blocks, and 20 digs to lead Topsail to a 3-2 (24-26, 22-25, 25-18, 25-10, 15-3) win over Pender on Wednesday night.

Trask’s Blake Joyce Trask, the Titans took a 3-2 win behind the play of Sebastian Bautista. The sophomore led a trio of Titans that found the back of the net. Others to score were Greg Sanchez and Fernando Aldama. In the second contest at East Columbus the Titans rode the play of senior keeper Blake Joyce along with three goals by Bautista to earn a 4-0 win. Joyce had nine saves on the evening. The Post & Voice soccer player of the week is Trask sophomore Sebastian Bautista. He scored four goals in two games. All three schools will continue play this week with all three beginning conference play soon. Pender hosted Whiteville Monday and traveled to North Brunswick on Tuesday while Trask hosted North Brunswick on Monday and Jacksonville Northside on Wednesday. Topsail hosted Havelock on Tuesday.

Pender opens season at Topsail By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Trask and Topsail will be at home this Friday evening, while Pender will be on the road.
Trask hosts West Columbus The Trask Titans host West Columbus after going to South Robeson and putting 42 points on the board. East is 0-2 and has given up 95 points in two weeks. The Titans will host the Vikings with the hope of going 2-1. The Vikings have played two tough non-conference games in the opening weeks of the season. They have lost to South Brunswick and West Bladen, two teams that are a combined 4-0 on the year. West Columbus can score points. According to Trask Coach Johnathan Taylor, the Vikings are athletic at a number of positions. “They are very athletic. They have a quarterback that is much like Tyrease and Tynaffitt. He can cause problems if you let him get out in space. They have scored some points this year so I hope our defense will be up to the challenge.” The Titan defense is led by Kansas Bannerman. The junior linebacker has 6.5 sacks in just two games and leads the Titans in tackles. He leads an aggressive group that hopes to put pressure on the Viking offense. Keep an eye on senior defensive end Dante D’ambrosia. Offensively, the Titans
will spread the field and try and get the likes of Tynaffitt Davis and Steven Jordan out in space. This team has some playmakers and is capable of scoring some points. Look for Taylor to play Armstrong at quarterback while moving Davis around to try and force some mismatches. Armstrong has plenty of weapons to call on and will throw the ball if the defense lines up eight in the box. Johnathan Jordan is dangerous across the middle. The Titan defensive backs will have to be on their toes as the Vikings will throw the football. Bannerman and company will have to get to the quarterback in a hurry. Steven Jordan has yet to have that breakout game of the season. This may be the game he breaks free. Johnathan Jordan will catch a touchdown pass and the Titans will score 30 plus points. The question is if the Titan defense can stop the Vikings. I believe that they will at least slow them down enough to take the win. The score. Trask 39-West Columbus 13.
Pender travels to South Brunswick The South Brunswick Cougars are coming off of a beating at the hands of Conway S.C. in which they gave up 55 points. Pender is under the direction of a new coach in Bob Via. Coach Via got a late start with the Patriots and is in a catch up mode. The Patriots have a very talented back in Justin
Hooper. Hooper has a combination of speed and power and is dangerous if he gets a crack of daylight. Coach Via needs to get his line on board with that notion. The Pender offensive line is young and developing. There is talent there, they just need the reps. This unit struggled against Topsail. However, Topsail is a lot better than South Brunswick. Defensively, the Pats are young as a group. They have a lot of big hits in them and will get better as the season progresses. Hooper plays both ways and is a very good defender. Look for the Patriots to run the option with junior quarterback Jake Rawls at the controls. Hooper needs to get the ball in the open field. Rawls will attempt to do that at every opportunity. Rawls can throw the ball as well. If the Pender running game struggles look for Rawls to look for Hooper and company on short routes over the middle and in the flats. Defensively, Pender needs to use their speed to get to the ball. They are not big as a group but will hit you. They need to make their presence known with the big hit early and often. Matthew Ezzell is one of the more consistent kickers in the area. He could be the difference in winning and losing. Someone will come away with their first win of the season. The score. 34-26.
Topsail hosts Dixon The Dixon Bulldogs know a thing or two about the Topsail Pirates. The two teams are
right down the road from each other and have played each other a time or two. This Topsail team is a little different than in years past. The Pirates are big and strong up front and will look to muscle the Bulldogs with a potent running game that is led by what can be called thunder and lightning. Senior Drew Gaithers is the thunder. The lumbering fullback is a power runner that has no fear. D.J. Montano is the speedy halfback that seems to have found his groove early after dropping 141 yards and three touchdowns on Pender last week. Topsail will be playing a Dixon team that gave up 223 yards on the ground last week. The Pirates must be licking their lips at the thought of facing a porous run defense. Sophomore signal caller Jacob Floyd has been just about flawless for Coach Wayne Inman. He makes the right decisions and rarely makes mistakes with the football. This is a very efficient Topsail offense. The Bulldogs will have their hands full. Look for Montano to rush for at least 125 yards with Gaither eclipsing the 100 yard mark as well. Montano will add to his touchdown mark with the Pirates scoring 40 plus points. Defensively, the Pirates will shut down the Bulldogs. Look for the Onslow County team to struggle against the big Pirate defensive line. Dixon will struggle to score against the Pirates. The stat line will read that the Bulldogs rushed for less than 100 yards as a team. The Topsail secondary will record an interception, maybe even a pick-six. The Pirates will go 3-0 on the year. this one should not be close. The score. 46-6.
Topsail tennis unbeaten, soccer, cross country open By Lee Wagner Contributing Sports Writer The high-school fall sports’ season has now opened in earnest with the Topsail High School boys’ soccer, girls, tennis, and boys’ and girls’ cross-country joining volleyball and football in pursuit of Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference titles and 3A playoff slots.
Girls’ tennis The Lady Pirates (3-0) opened the season with a 9-0 win over Coastal Christian Academy, following that up with a 9-0 win over Swansboro, and completing their first week of action with a second 9-0 win over Coastal Christian Academy. Sophomore No.1-singles player Carmen Jordan was almost perfect in the three matches, defeating Lady Centu-
rion Olivia Miles 6-0, 6-0 in the opener, topping Swansboro’s Jayden Davis 6-0, 6-0 in the second match, and downing Coastal’s Miles 6-1, 6-0 the second time around. Sophomore No. 2 singles player Carolina Harris won 6-1, 6-0 over Coastal’s Maddie Bicken, 6-0, 6-0 against Swans-

Pender County’s Most Comprehensive Fishing Report
Cooler nights mean better fishing By Bobby Norris
Post & Voice Fishing Fanatic The night time temperatures are falling into the upper sixties to around 70 and the area anglers are feeling the fall fever once again. There have been some mullet, black drum and bluefish being caught in the surf lately. The bait of choice is shrimp or cut bait. A few spots have shown up off of the piers as has a mixed bag that includes mullet and even a blue or two. The same baits that work off of the beach will work here. The reds are still showing up in the inland waters as have been some nice size flounder. Find a dock or other permanent structure and throw a finger mullet or your favorite gulp bait out and be patient. The fresh water scene is starting to gain a little momentum with the cool
nights. The panfish are biting red worms and crickets while the cats are biting chicken livers and your favorite stink bait. I talked to a couple of anglers that said they had been fishing for the cats with some large live minnows. This week’s fishing tip I have learned some valuable lessons on the water this year. One lesson I have learned second hand is that if you have a boat and you plan on taking it out in the ocean, be prepared for just about anything. A yearly contract with Sea Tow will pay for itself with one break down. Also, make sure you have all of your safety gear including a life vest for every person on the boat. It is also a good idea to make up a small tool box just in case you have problems. I observed one boater working on his boat and another getting towed in by a friend. Either way it is smart to be prepared for anything
Pender drops season opener By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Pender Patriot football team had to wait an extra week to open its regular season football campaign. After falling to the Topsail Pirates 40-14 the young Patriot squad will find its way back to the drawing board in preparation for yet another tough non-conference matchup. The Patriots had an extra week to prepare for the Pirates after last week’s game was postponed. First year Coach Bob Via had hoped that the extra time would give his team time to prepare for a very big and talented Pirate front line. The Pats received the opening kickoff and went three and out. Topsail took over on the Pender 48 yard line and found paydirt 10 plays later. The twopoint conversion made it 8-0 Topsail and the Patriots were on the ropes early. On the next series the Pats
Pender’s Jake Rawls went to the air. Jake Rawls threw an interception that set up the Pirates deep inside the Pats territory. 30 yards later the score was 14-0.

Post & Voice Top Performers By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The high school action in the area is beginning to gain momentum as all three high schools have begun classes. The Trask soccer team has begun the season with a winning record after beating East Columbus both home and away. Sebastian Bautista scored four goals last week while Blake Joyce had his first shutout of the year in goal.
Smith a total team player for the Titans By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer When the soccer ball is rolled out and the team hits the pitch, there are many players that have many jobs. One of the jobs on the field that is not considered to be a glory job is that of a defenseman. Senior Kenny Smith knows a thing or two about playing that position. Kenny Smith has played many spots on the soccer pitch. However, the job of a defender is one that demands a lot of toughness along with discipline. The Titans have several players that can score the soccer ball. However, Mr. Smith is one of the few that plays that back line with the intensity that it takes to be successful. Although Kenny Smith may list his best sport as baseball, he is a pretty good soccer player as well. if one had to describe Kenny Smith, they would say that he is a total team player.
Topsail soccer went 0-1-1 last week. Senior Derek Bryant scored Topsail’s lone goal in the tie while Sophomore Roberto Vasquez scored the lone goal in the loss. The Titan football team earned their first win of the year at South Robeson. Kansas Bannerman had a fumble recovery for a score while sophomore signal caller Tyrease Armstrong ran for over 100 yards and threw for a touchdown as well. Steven Jordan had a
touchdown catch while Tony Holmes led a trio of Titans with six tackles. Pender fell to Topsail on the gridiron last week. Jake Rawls threw a touchdown pass while Justin Hooper had a touchdown run. Topsail beat the Patriots on the gridiron behind 141 yards and three T.D.s from freshman D.J. Montano. Drew Gaither added 97 yards and a score while sophomore signal caller Jacob Floyd threw a touchdown pass.
Jarett Radley had seven tackles to pace the Pirate defense while Hunter Potts and Grant McCoy each had picks. The Pender volleyball team put a scare into the Topsail spikers last week. Caroline Peterson had 14 assists, two aces and three digs while Lakirah Forney had three kills, one ace and three digs. Imani Newkirk had seven kills, three aces and 10 digs. The Topsail volleyball team is almost ready to invade
the Mid-Eastern Conference. They played three non-conference matches last week. Senior Payton Schoenleber finished with 26 assists, six aces, seven kills, and seven digs while Madi Ford had eight kills, five aces, six blocks, and one dig. Sophomore sisters Serena and Angelica Biele combined for 24 points, 14 kills, seven aces, four blocks, and 20 digs to lead Topsail to a 3-2 win over Pender. The Lady Pirates tennis team opened the season with

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer When a young soccer player takes the field he wants to make an immediate impact on the match. When a senior soccer player takes the field he wants to make an impact both during game time situations as well as in the classroom and on the practice field. That is what senior Pirate soccer player Derek Bryant is doing this year. The Topsail Pirate kickers have a mixture of young and inexperienced players along with several upperclassmen. Bryant is one of those upperclassmen that will be counted on to make big plays on the field. He has already answered the call as he scored the Pirates only goal in a 1-1 tie early in the season. While the Topsail Pirate men’s soccer team has a tough road ahead of them, the team can count on Derek Bryant to give 110 percent on the field and off.

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer During the spring of the 2014-15 school year Pender Patriot baseball player Hayden Kreitzer burst onto the scene as a starter for the Patriot hardballers. He made his mark as a hard-nosed player with a great work ethic. This fall Mr. Kreitzer has joined the Patriot football team. he will bring his hardnosed approach to the gridiron in hopes of becoming a major contributor to a young Patriot football team. The Patriots are in the midst of rebuilding a once powerful football program they will count on players such as Hayden Kreitzer to return them to their glory days. As the 2015 football season moves forward the time will come where Hayden and his teammates will have to step up and become the players that they hope they will be. Rather it be on the gridiron or the baseball diamond, Hayden Kreitzer is a threat.

Bill Howard Outdoors
By Bill Howard Post & Voice Columnist It is that time of year again. Crowds gather. People enjoy greasy foods while mingling all in the name of a common passion. No, it has nothing to do with the opening kick of the football season. Yes, it has everything to do with
the opening hunt of a series of seasons over the coming months. Dove season marks the excitement and built up anticipation of a long hot summer. No more road trips with the family and kids asking every 20 minutes can they go to the restroom. Or in this day and age maybe the questions is “when will we have wi-fi again?” Regardless, now is when patience begins to settle back in and the hustle and stresses of the working world and even the vacationing world, starts to diminish. Opening day has become a classic tradition for the outdoorsman. We learned how to hunt during dove season, and we would wait several years honing our skills so we could brag to our friends how we got the limit. For us as kids, a 20gauge or .410 set the tone and
we could not wait to graduate to the 12-gauge like our father and grandfather used. Of course dove season leads into deer archery season, deer gun season, one of the many different duck seasons, and all kinds of small game seasons. Each has its own merit. As a kid, we usually went from dove to squirrels, and they were completely different styles of hunts. When we became teenagers we would tag along on the duck hunts and deer hunts. And just like that we thought we were seasoned veterans of this magnificent gun sport and heritage. But dove season has always been a little something more. There is more of a comradery between hunters. It begins as a social gathering in fact. Dozens if not hundreds depending on where you hunt, gather for
a feast. A pig pickin’ with all kinds of trimming, hot dogs and hamburgers, and fried and barbeque chicken tend to be the favorites. However I have been at one where we watched a goat being skinned and cooked. It is all in the customs I guess. We head to the fields, each person picking a favorite spot far enough away from others to be safe, but close enough to make sure any raiding mourning dove could never fly through without a shot. The goal is not only to bring the bird down, but to keep it flying too. No bird is to find a place to land. Keep them in the air and everybody gets a shot. As kids we may imagine the dove as enemy aircraft and we were the gunners trying to bring the down. As adults, we sit there and
think how grand it must be to hunt dove in a place like Argentina where hundreds of thousands fly overhead. Or we may just try and work our beloved four legged friends and test his training, skills, and obedience. Doves also became one of our first animals we had to clean. I remember as a youngster sitting in front of a five-gallon bucket with a couple of dozen birds. I was shown one time. Stick your finger under the breast bone and pull. But afterwards, we would take the breasts and marinate overnight, wrap in bacon, and have the best cookout the following day.
So, in that re g ards we lear ned to appreciate the game we hunted for more than just the hunt too. Now it is time to share that same appreciation once again. –Bill Howard is a lifelong North Carolina resident and hunter. He is a lifetime member of the North Carolina Bowhunters Association, an associate member of Pope and Young, and an official measurer of both. He is a certified hunter education (IHEA) instructor and bowhunter education (IBEP) instructor. Please share your stories with Bill at BillHowardOutdoors@ gmail.com.
Dove season opens September 5 The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission’s Home From The Hunt campaign reminds hunters that when dove hunting season opens on Sept. 5 to be safe and responsible in the field throughout the season. Shooting hours are halfhour before sunrise to sunset for the entire season, including opening day. The 2015-16 season for mour ning and white-winged dove is Sept. 5 to Oct. 10, and resumes Nov. 23 to Jan. 15. Daily bag limit is 15 and possession limit is three times the daily bag limit.
The season does not include Sundays; hunting of mig ratory g ame birds by any method is not allowed on Sundays. The Home From The Hunt™ campaign lists the following Top 5 dove hunting recommendations: s7HEN HUNTING IN A GROUP adhere to established zones of fire. s.EVER SHOOT AT LOW mYING birds and alert others when a bird is too low for a safe shot. s4AKE TIME PRIOR TO HUNTING
to walk the field and inspect the area for bait. s.EVER PLACE DECOYS ON UTILity lines, which is trespassing and risks electrical shock. s$ON T COMBINE GAME BAGS which is a hunting regulations violation. All hunters must follow applicable licensing requirements and hunting regulations. It is an individual hunter’s responsibility to know the area being hunted. Don’t hunt over baited fields. According to state regulations, the placing, exposing, depositing, dis-
tributing or scattering of salt, grain or other feed that could serve as a lure for migratory game birds can constitute a baited area. Because birds often return to a feeding area even after the food source is exhausted, hunting within 10 days after complete disappearance of feed from a baited area is illegal. For more information on migratory game bird hunting, hunter safety, hunting regulations and free Hunting Heritage Apprentice Permits, go to www.ncwildlife.org.
Practice tree stand safety before, during hunting seasons The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission’s Home From The Hunt campaign is reminding hunters to be prepared and stay safe, especially when using a tree stand. That includes pre-hunting season preparation, whether scouting a location, trimming shooting lanes or putting up a tree stand on a trial basis. “Hunters should use the same tree stand precautions now as they would during hunting season,” said Lt. Sam Craft, a wildlife officer and hunting
safety instructor. “When first putting a tree stand in place, consider using a lineman-style belt in addition to a full-body harness. This minimizes the chance of falls and potential injury. Always select a healthy, straight tree for placement. And let someone know where you are or take someone along during pre-season work.” Other Home From The Hunt™ tree stand safety recommendations: s0RACTICE USE AT GROUND level, gradually going higher.
s.EVER CARRY ANYTHING AS you climb — use a haul line to raise and lower equipment. s-AINTAIN THREE POINTS OF contact when climbing. s&OLLOW MANUFACTURER INstructions. s$ON T EXCEED MANUFACturer’s maximum height settings. As with any piece of equipment, tree stands need inspection before use. Replace rusted bolts, frayed straps or, if needed, buy a new tree stand. Leaving a tree stand up
from one season to the next has some inherent problems that outweigh any convenience. When a tree stand is exposed to the elements due to longterm placement, it may have damaged straps, ropes and attachment cords — any of which potentially may lead to breakage and failure. For more information on hunting seasons, Hunting Heritage Apprentice Permits and the Hunter Education Program, go to www.ncwildlife.org.

Gaither and his subsequent two-point conversion run. An interception by Grant McKoy put the Pirates back in business and they needed only 30 yards to make it 14-0 on Montano’s 23-yard run. Topsail went 72 yards on that possession with Montano’s 32yard scamper making it 20-0. The lead mushroomed to 26-0 at the half thanks to a 52-yard drive that ended when Floyd found Justin Smith, who made an outstanding catch, behind down the middle behind the defense for a 29-yard hookup. That drive was made possible thanks to an interception by Pirate Hunter Potts. “The offensive line was awesome and they made our

Continued from page 8A “We just couldn’t seem to get anything going in the first two games, and I felt like we didn’t get Madi (Ford) any touches, and in my opinion that was the difference in the third, fourth, and fifth games, she got a couple of balls and she pounded them and that gave us a lot of energy,” Topsail Coach Hill Pearsall said. “We were more energized, we got her some balls, and we played better in every aspect of the game. “Payton had a very good night. She struggled the first two games so we switched from a 6-2 to a 5-1 in the third, fourth, and fifth games and that played to her strength.” Led by junior Imani Newkirk, Pender (0-5) was clearly the better team in the first two games as they overcame early Topsail leads to get their first and second individual game wins of the year. The third game was tied 11 times before a 4-0 run, fueled by a pair of kills from Schoenleber, produced a 17-13 Topsail lead – one they would not relinquish – and Ford closed out the win with a pair of kills. The Lady Patriots were really never in the fourth and fifth games. Topsail led 17-8

are struggling through their annual non-conference schedule that includes numerous upper echelon volleyball teams. Pender came into the contest with a 0-4 record but a steadily improving squad. When the dust settled, the Pirates walked away breathing a sigh of relief as the upstart Pats took the first two games before falling 3-2 to the 3A Pirates. The scores were 25-27, 22-25, 25-18, 25-10 and 15-6. In the first two games of the match the Patriots overcame small deficits to win close games.

Sophomore foreign-exchange student (Spain) Elvie Parra displayed her skills in two matches, defeating Swansboro’s Sarah Snoddy 6-0, 6-0, and beating Coastal Christian’s Sabrina Sims 6-0, 6-0. Jordan and Harris teamed to win all three doubles matches (8-1, 8-0, 8-1), and Parra joined forces with Sier ra Dougherty, who won twice in singles by scores of 6-0, 6-1 and 6-0, 6-0, to win two doubles’ matches – 8-0 and 8-1.

job a lot easier,” Gaither said. “They were able to open the lanes and we were able to find some space and gain some good yards. Defensively, we kept them from getting anything going and they gave us (offense) the ball with some favorable field position, and we were able to take advantage of it.” Topsail’s first second-half possession resulted in a 20yard scoring run by Montano, and it was 40-0 one series later when Smith bolted in from five yards out. Pe n d e r avo i d e d b e i n g blanked when Hooper scored on a 20-yard run with 4:32 remaining in the game, and the Patriots scored again with 16.7 clock when quarterback Jake Rawls connected with Joel Kea on a 14-yard touchdown pass. Matthew Ezzell connected on both extra-
points. A home game this Friday is next on Topsail’s agenda before a road trip to Croatan (Sept. 11) and a home game against, Jacksonville (Sept. 18). Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference play begins at Laney (Sept. 25). “Now comes the big boys,” Inman said. “The last two years we won these two games but there was a little more struggle to winning them. Hopefully this year we can take that momentum and move forward. “Dixon is going to be a challeng e for us and, of course, there’s Croatan and Jacksonville, and then it gets even tougher. The thing about these first two games is we never let them get back in it, and we have to keep that mentality and effort going forward.”
before a 6-0 run, behind three aces from Selena Biele, put the game out of reach. Trailing 1-0 in the 15-point fifth game, the Lady Patriots went on a six-point spurt to make it 6-3, then closed things out with a nine-point outburst. “We definitely picked up the intensity,” Schoenleber said. “The first two games I think we were really slow and then we made a change to the 5-1 and that really helped because Madi got more reps. Despite the first two games I think, tonight, we improved to by leaps and bounds, more than we have all season so I’m really excited to see where we can take it from here.” The week opened on Monday with a revenge-filled 3-0 (14-25, 17-25, 21-25) loss to a scrappy and hard-serving Wilmington Christian Academy squad (7-2) one week after the Lady Pirates beat the Lady Patriots 3-1. As they usually do, the Lady Patriots dug up several tough shots by the Topsail hitters, finishing the game with a plethora of saves but it was the serve/receive game that did the Lady Pirates in. WCA was led by Caroline Fountain (28 assists, six aces). Cassie Taylor added four aces and six kills, and Ellie Kohl, led both teams with 10 kills. WCA had 11 aces in the three games. “We had a very difficult night with serve/receive
where we have done much better in the first two matches,” Pearsall said. “We didn’t adjust well and I felt we played really flat on our feet, we weren’t on our toes when we hit the ball. When we had our offense going we were good, we got some great hits. But if you can’t get the pass up to the setter, that makes a huge difference. “We only had one decent run (six points) and it’s a tribute to the way WCA plays defense and the fact we couldn’t pass the ball. If you can’t make the pass you can’t get any offense, you can’t get any runs. They played their regular defense where they make every effort to touch the ball and get it up, but I felt like we really didn’t play well enough on the back line to keep us in the game.” The week ended with a tough five-set (17-25, 25-19, 25-10, 18-25, 14-16) loss to Jacksonville on the road. Schoenleber had 18 service points, eight aces, and eight kills, Ford added eight kills and two blocks, and Angelica (six kills, ace) and Selena (four kills, two aces) Biele.

13 lead in game three. An 8-5 Pirate run ended the Patriots two game winning streak and the Pirates seemed poised to make a run of their own. Topsail reeled off two wins behind the play of Madi Ford and Peyton Schoenleber and the match was set for game five. The Lady Pirates used the momentum that they had built to take a 15-6 win. Coach Davis saw a lot of positive things in his teams play despite the loss and thinks that his team has made a lot of progress over the last two weeks. The Topsail match was a good example of where his team is and where it is going. “We played exactly as I hope to play all year. We took the first two games and had a chance to steal the third, but couldn’t quite get over the hump when the score was
around 17-17 or so. In both of the first two games we got down early, but instead of allowing that to discourage us we slowly but surely got back into the game, keeping the ball up and digging up hard hit shots. We did such a good job of digging the hard shots up that Topsail had to adjust and started going to more tip shots to spots on the floor instead of straight power shots. Consistency will be the key though. We did it against Topsail. We’ll have to do it every night, every game, and every point to really do what we want to do and that will still take some time to develop.” The Patriots hosted another tough foe in Wilmington Christian Academy before traveling to Clinton to begin conference play.
football straight at the young Patriot defense. The score reached 40-0 early in the third quarter. The Patriot defense was on its heels with just under a half of football to play. The Patriots scored their first points of the 2015 season with 4:32 to play. Justin Hooper found the endzone on a 20-yard scamper to make the score 40-7. Jake Rawls found Joel Kea on a 14-yard pass play that finalized the score. The Patriot offense was
held to a total of nine yards of offense in the first half and 76 in the game while the defense allowed the Pirates 335 yards of total offense including 280 yards on the ground. Hooper scored the only rushing touchdown while gaining 37 yards on 11 carries while Jake Rawls was 3-10 for 21-yards with two interceptions along with a touchdown toss. The Patriots will travel to South Brunswick on Friday night.

NATURE’S WAY Fa r m a n d S e a fo o d By Tammy Proctor, Pender County Tourism Director, Special to the Post & Voice
Nature’s Way Farm and Seafood is Pender County’s only registered dairy. Tucked off Sloop Point Loop Road, Nature’s Way Farm offers fresh goat cheese, feta, blue cheese, mozzarella, and a host of other products. “Since I was a child I liked organic gardening and I always wanted animals,” said Tina Moller who owns Nature’s Way Farm and Seafood with her husband, Bill. They also sell clams, oysters and shrimp, in season, as well as soap and honey. “We sell as many as 10,000 clams wholesale per week,” said Tina. Bill, the fisher man in the family, said the family business was primarily fresh seafood. However, over the years, their focus has shifted slightly. “We send our cheese to a market in Wrightsville Beach, Tidal Creek, and three farm-

years. She said she doesn’t enter a lot of competitions these days. She spends her time caring for her goats. Tina said happy goats m a k e g o o d milk. “We b e lieve i n quality not quant i t y, ” said Tina. “We have stayed small, and we milk 10 to 12 goats.” Nature’s Way Farm and Seafood is unique to Pender County. “There aren’t many small goat dairies and we’re the only regis-
tered dairy in Pender,” said Tina. “All of our goats have names,” she said. “They’re a part of our family.” Tina said families enjoy shopping at Nature’s Way Farm and Seafood, especially when it is time to feed the kids (babies) in the spring. Nature’s Way Farm and Seafood is located at 115 Crystal Court. Their hours are Mondays through Thursdays from 12:30-5:30 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. For special Sunday orders Tina suggests calling ahead.

Answer me when I call, O God of my right! You gave me room when I was in distress. Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer‌ There are many that say, “Who will show us any good?â€? Lord, Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us. Psalm 4:1,6 “Who will show us any good?â€? It’s the word going around. It’s the talk on the street. It’s the concern of many or so it seems including the writer of this psalm. We’re looking for some good in our lives. Where will it come from? Who will deliver it to us? What or who can bring goodness, blessedness, pleasure and joy to us in this world? Will the government show us any good? Well, yes and no. Sometimes, once in a while, Government does do us good and then sometimes it creates headaches. There are too many interest views, ideas, interests. It’s a balancing act trying to keep everyone happy. Can we count on government to show us good consistently, impartially, reliably? I think not. What about business. Will the big corporations and large industries give us goodness. No doubt they contribute to the ease of one’s life, but goodness is not the
corporate bottom line. When push comes to shove, business tends to show goodness only to itself. The rest of us get lost in the shuffle. We could probably go on like this all day. We could analyze every institution we can think of and I believe that in the end we would find them all lacking. But the Psalmist does have an answer, at least one that seems to satisfy him. It will come as no surprise that the psalmist’s answer to this question is God. God is the one who will, who does, who consistently shows us good. But the psalmist doesn’t just give us the answer. He offers five proofs for his assertion. There are in this psalm at least five proofs for how God shows us good, five reasons to believe that God is indeed the answer to our questions, the end of our search for blessedness in our lives. The first proof of God’s goodness is that God hears you when you pray. “The Lord hears me when I call to him,� the psalmist asserts. In the midst of struggle, in the throes of distress, in the midst of turmoil and trouble; I pray and the Lord hears me. “You gave me room in my distress,� the psalmist says. That is God broadened my options, presented me with new ideas and opportunities. When I was trapped God

showed me a way out. He comes to us in our need, he gives us room to maneuver in our struggles and he lifts us when we fall. That’s how God shows us good. The second proof of God’s goodness is that God shows us mercy. If you think about it that is a real gift. There is so little mercy in our world, so little give and a lot of take. There are many who are ready to judge us and judge quite harshly; but the word of the Lord is mercy... the way of the Lord is mercy. The gospel is a word of mercy... “Blessed,� Jesus said, “are the merciful for they shall receive mercy.� That is those who give mercy will know mercy and they will know the goodness of God. God shows us his good because he offers us mercy even in our sin, even in our weakness, even in our rebellion and rejection of his
word. He still speaks mercy to us. And that is goodness indeed. The third proof of God’s goodness is that he saves us for himself. “The Lord has set apart the faithful for himself,� the psalmist recounts. God claims us as His own, shelters us by his power, protects us by his abiding presence and guides us by his spirit. God does not leave us alone. God does not leave us on our own; but God claims us for Himself, as a father constantly cares for his child come what may, as a mother constantly claims her own no matter what he has done or become. God saves us from ourselves, but what’s more he saves us for himself... for his kingdom, for his love, for his ministry in the world. God shows us good by making us his own.
