First school bond sale scheduled for June 7

By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher The first bond sale to fund the Pender County school projects is scheduled for June 7, according to County Manager Randall Woodruff. The first sale will total about $20 million. County voters authorized up to $75 million in bond debt to fund the school projects.

All of the money is not borrowed at one time – bond sales are conducted as construction projects progress and money is needed to fund the work.

All of the money advanced by the county to the school board so far for bond projects, about $6 million, came out of the county general fund and

sory Board,” said Carolyn Moser, Health and Human Services Director. “There is no need to have a DSS Advisory Board, there is no requirement, we haven’t met in a year and we have had two members resign.

We consolidated Health and Social Services back in 2013. I know Chairman Brown supports this and asked for it to be on tonight’s agenda.”

Commissioner Demetrice Keith asked what void would be created if the board was dissolved and was

concerned that many of the positive actions taken by members of the board might be lost. Moser said the individuals formerly on the advisory board could continue to be advocates for the DSS. She did not elaborate how this could be achieved, why the Advisory Board had not met in a year, or why members had resigned.

In other action, a decrease in the DSS Crisis Intervention Program revenues and expenditures in the

County budget meetings start this week

By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher Pender County commissioners will begin work on the upcoming budget this week with the first work session scheduled for April 14. The county manager’s office has received requests from county department heads for funding in the 2016-17 fiscal year budget.

County Manager Randall Woodruff is optimistic this year’s budget work will run more smoothly than last year.

“We are looking forward to a less stressful budget process.

We have been working on it for several months now and all of the departments have submitted their requests,” Woodruff said.

Department heads have met with Woodruff regarding budget requests and will next go before the Board of Commissioners to answer questions and make their pitch for funds.

Woodruff puts together a proposed budget and submits it to the commissioners at the first May meeting. The board has May and June to work on the final budget and approve the document by the end of June.

Commissioners have budget work sessions scheduled for April and May.

The manager doesn’t expect any increases in health insurance costs or state mandates. homes have a pump that flows at three to four gallons per minute. You need 90 gallons per minute to adequately shield blueberry bushes. “Your best bet with home crops is to use blankets and sheets to protect the plants,� he explained. “You just have to use care not to damage the bush or break the blossoms with the weight of the cover.�

Spring freezes are common in Pender, and this year’s was not as bad as those which have wiped out the blueberry crop. “Barring anything else,� Setiz said, “it looks promising this year, but it all depends on the weather, and that can change in a moment.�

BOC hears update on Penderlea, Surf City school projects

By Barbara Hazle Contributing Writer Pender County Board of Commissioners heard updates on the Penderlea K-8 school and the new Surf City school location during the board’s April 4 meeting. Chris Hilt of CLH Designs told the board the a new cupola was added to the building and the gymnasium relocated to the north side of the new building with classrooms symmetrically placed on each side. “We are still paying homage to the original building,� said Hilt.

The elementary classrooms will be on the ground floor with administration and media center nearby. The south wing of the building will have the cafeteria and the new gymnasium will be adjacent to the sports fields. With an opening in December or August 2018, depending on the timeline of how construction is going, the new school will be at the estimated core capacity of 550 students. The final estimated budget for the project is $21.5 million.

Commissioner David Piepmeyer expressed concern over opening the new school facil-

ity at or near core capacity. “This is great for the kids, their day to day routine is not disturbed but I am concerned about building a school that opens at capacity. I don’t like building schools at core capacity,� said Piepmeyer. “I know there are expansion plans if we need more room but this worries me because this school expansion will only help new growth in that area.�

The companies plan on coming back to the BOC in September with final bids to be reviewed and approved.

LS3P’s Leanne Lawrence, the principal architect on the Surf City school project, presented the Board of Commissioners an update on that location and commented that things at the site were “going very well.� Lawrence said that the Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of Transportation are actively involved in the project, because of the significant amount of wetlands on the site and the traffic impact analysis access including Perkins Road, Shepards Road and Hwy 50. She said that the survey for all off-site improvements was near completion,

the Pender County School system and Town of Surf City were working together on final annexation and that the design development phase pricing should be done by May 1.

The Surf City school is planned to have 1,200 students with a final core capacity of 1,500. The site package bids should be completed by midsummer as long as all the site permits are approved with the bids for the building package completed by the end of this summer. “All of our permitting for the site, including storm water permitting, anticipates building out in the plans for expansion. We are taking into account the future.� Lawrence said.

The school design has identical wings for the elementary and middle school. With a divided entry, both wings will house media and band rooms, along with art and administration offices. The shared space will be the center gymnasium and some center multi-purpose space with the center cafeteria divided by grades.

Charles Boney noted that are several additional projects

that may be included including wood flooring versus athletic flooring, a stage curtain, additional piece of cafeteria partition, aluminum canopies, athletic fields and six additional classrooms. “These alternate bids will help us control costs, we can’t control square footage per student, but we have contingency funds in the budget so we can make adjustments. We are looking at a total project budget of $35 million.�

Challenges include the high cost of site development, the addition of six classrooms required state school officials, which specify the maximum students per classroom and inflation. Parcels of wetlands preserved will go back to the project as a financial credit.

Building bids should be completed and brought to the BOC in September 2016 with final completion of the school by August 2018.

Commissioners Piepmeyer and David Williams both expressed their appreciation for the comprehensive overview to the LS3P staff and Justin Barnhill. “Looks really good, we are making great progress,� said Williams.

Board says no to hiring contractor for plan update East Coast Medical, PLLC

By Barbara Hazle Contributing Writer Pender County Board of Commissioners once again rejected the request by Planning Director Kyle Breuer for $100,000 to hire Stantec/ City Explained Inc. to update the comprehensive plan for Pender County which was done six years ago. “If you recall, as I certainly do, that this was denied at the last meeting. We are trying to utilize this consulting firm as a partner to the staff in house.

We did not consider a contract

employee due to issues of control. We would be focusing on new topic areas such as a preferred growth scenario,�

Breuer said. “New investments in Commerce Park, new access to sewer along Highway 17 were drivers that went into the recommendation to update this plan. During my tenure, we haven’t looked at all revenues are coming in to the county and look at all the expenditures, to turn into a capital improvements plan.�

Commissioner David Piepmeyer thanked Breuer for

Turkey season underway

By Jefferson Weaver Contributing Writer After nearly disappearing in North Carolina, wild turkeys came back with a vengeance, and Saturday marks the start of youth week for the wily birds.

The statewide conventional season from April 9 through May 7. Limit for the youth season is one, and for the full season the harvest limit is two.

All must be bearded turkeys.

Hens may not be hunted in North Carolina.

Safety is paramount during wild turkey season, said Charles Hinson of the Wildlife Resources Commission. Due to the bird’s sharp eyesight and wary nature, hunters are usually heavily camouflaged, and often do not wear safety orange. While some hunters wear a cap or hat to and from their hunting location, others tie an orange strap around a tree above their stand to avoid mistakes.

A trespassing hunter shot and killed a Bladen County farmer in 2004, when he allegedly shot at what he thought was a turkey along a brush line.

Hunters should make every effort to make sure other hunters recognize them as well. “Whether you’re hunting turkey or any other game, you should always remember to positively identify and know what is beyond your target before pulling the trigger,� said Chet Clark, the Commission’s eastern outreach manager. “If there is any doubt in your mind, don’t shoot.� “Leave the area if you think another hunter is al-

Bonds

ready there,� Clark said. “Alert another hunter to your presence by saying “Stop� in a loud voice.�

Several accidents have occurred in the state when hunters leaving or entering the woods carried a decoy or harvested bird in a manner that fooled another hunter. “Make sure your decoy or harvested turkey isn’t visible when you transport it,� Clark said.

The intense camouflage techniques preferred by many turkey hunters can lead to mistaken identity in the woods, Clark said. Nationally, white or red handkerchiefs have contributed to several accidents and deaths. “Red, white, blue and black are the colors of a tom turkey’s head,� Clark explained. “Most hunters are going for that head shot. Never wear those colors in the field.�

presenting the more positive aspects of hiring a contractor to update the plan. “We are looking for over $3 million this year, every other project we approve we take away money from the school projects or we have to find it somewhere else. If I didn’t know about the money being needed, I would pass this but I can’t in good conscience,�

Piepmeyer said. “We aren’t going to be able to raise taxes, and we don’t want to go to mediation again.�

T h e re q u e s t w a s f i r s t tur ned down Mar. 21 and

was resubmitted on April 4

by Breuer. Initially split on a 2-2 vote, this time the motion to approve made by Commissioner David Williams failed for lack of a second.

Chairman George Brown, the other commissioner in favor of the request, was not present at the April 4 meeting and Commissioner Fred McCoy was acting chair and was unable to second the motion. Commissioner Demetrice Keith did not speak for or against the motion nor did she second.

Put party aside on your street There’s an old saying that still holds true, from Main Street to Washington: all politics are local.

At the same time, the attitudes that (arguably) serve well at the state and federal levels have no real place when you’re running against your neighbor, or have defeated the fellow down the road.

Even a half-century ago, party politics played a big, and vital, role after the dust settled from elections. That isn’t the case anymore—we have a larger and more diverse community, but many of the We’ve benefitted in the problems facing our communities are still the same. past form truly bipartisan If a road needs paving, boards of education and schools need fixing, drainage the board of commissionneeds upgrading, and crimiers; Democrats and Renals run rampant – everyone publicans have both been is affected. The pothole that good to Pender when we damages a Republican truck sent them to Raleigh and does the same thing to a Washington Democrat car, and vice versa.

To effectively solve these problems, we need input, ideas and energy form the entire community – not just the ones who supported the right or wrong presidential candidate.

The primary season we just survived was just a hint of the trials to be faced by voters this fall. To say it’s going to get nasty is an understatement, and it’s also understandable – emotions, opinions, and convictions get mixed up in the cauldron of discontent, and the resultant dish is rarely palatable.

Our county is growing, and faces some serious issues. The same goes for our municipalities. Zoning, education, planning, emergency response, recreation, care for the elderly, the young and the disabled – these are just a few, a bare few, of the problems and challenges facing our county.

We’ve benefitted in the past form truly bipartisan boards of education and the board of commissioners; Democrats and Republicans have both been good to Pender when we sent them to Raleigh and Washington. Some haven’t done so well, and they were replaced. That’s how the system works.

We sincerely hope that leaders from both sides, regardless of their electoral status or location, will look around here at home, and build some bridges between both sides. Just as a rising tide floats all boats, a political storm can sink them all, too.

The Point

Jefferson Weaver

Manties, manicures, and manbuns I have never really been a slave to fashion.

My taste in clothes is stuck firmly between 1930 and 1960; as far as hairstyle, I guess mine could be described as well-groomed barbarian, except on Saturdays. Most Saturdays, I end up with twin braids reminiscent of a less-wellgroomed barbarian. My only requirement for footwear is that shoes (usually boots) be easy on the feet, and reasonably resistant to snake bites, stomping horses, and political promises. The latter, by the way, is far harder to clean.

Although I border on blushing to even broach the subject, my underwear choices are even simpler.

Yes, I will fight you for my military-issue silk weight base layers, followed by long woolens; I occasionally wear a so-called Farmer John when the weather isn’t quite freezing. Some things, however, a man really doesn’t need to talk about, and as far as I am concerned, underwear is one of them.

Neither should a man who calls himself such model, much less own, a pair of “manties.”

I actually saw some of those… things … on display in a clothing store recently.

They are simply the latest attempt to turn men into something pliable and feminine. I’m fairly sure that whole trend started as a

Jefferson Weaver communist plot, but before they fell, even the communists had standards. The societal gelding movement just picked up the flag and carried on.

Manties, by the way, are men’s underwear cut and designed to look like women’s unmentionables, apparently from the “bloomer days”. They even come in the same colors as women’s underpinnings – one particular company, a well-known national brand, offers matching his and hers sets. Frankly, I ain’t sure why such is needed, since you can’t tell the difference between the two models.

There again, I am a simple country newspaperman who wears a Farmer John from time to time. I can’t be much of a judge of haute couture,

considering I have to look up the spelling whenever I write those words.

I reckon manties are the perfect accessory for a “manbun”.

I come from a line of generally hairy men, even though most men in my family, at least back to the War Between the States, were far better barbered. After a weekly regimen of trims and cuts up into my early 30s, I now only get a haircut every six or seven years, whether I need it or not.

Never mind shaving.

As such, my hair is significantly longer than that of most men, and many women, but I like it that way.

It’s actually cooler in the summer, due to sweat, and obviously warmer in the winter. Orphaned baby possums and squirrels find my long hair reassuring. Small children enjoy playing with my braid. It’s a handy place for an extra knife, inkpen, or hoof pick (I am not making this up).

My bride does most of the work – after we have coffee and prayer in the morning, she does whatever she feels necessary to make me slightly less frightening to small children and the public at large. I don’t know if it’s called a fishtail or a fishscale, a French braid or a flip, but Miss Rhonda actually enjoys messin’ with my

Pender Stories

Farmer Bill

Bill Messer “What are those things, Bill?” the little girl next door asked me across the fence.

“They’re kohlrabis,” I answered.

“Are they any good?”

“If your momma has a big bowl of them on the table Sunday, you’ll know.”

She thought about it for a second or two and understood if I gave them away I probably hadn’t liked them very much.

Actually, kohlrabi is an amazing vegetable and one of my all-time successes.

Apparently, every seed I planted produced a trophy vegetable, and it’s an amazing vegetable at that. If you have never seen a kohlrabi, it looks like a big turnip, but the edible part grows entirely above ground, perched atop a descending root like a golf ball on its tee. The leaves start on the bottom and curl upwards around the globe of the vegetable, and are large, as well as edible themselves.

The kohlrabi is usually

peeled and boiled whole like potatoes, or sliced. The flavor is sweet and mild, and when served lightly buttered and a little salt and pepper, they are excellent. The joy of the first experience was great, continued to be enjoyable the second time, and still pretty good the next time. Finally I achieved satisfaction of my life-time need of kohlrabi and the family next door and my parents and friends did get a big bowlful of them.

My adventure into home gardening began with an Act of God, as people say, when, while wondering where in the back yard I could find room enough and sun enough for a garden, a sudden gust of heavy spring wind toppled a medium size oak tree, lifted the crown from the sandy soil and laid the tree on its side, and the entire west corner of the wooded lot had exposure to the afternoon sun!

I tried breaking the ground with a shovel and hoe, and quickly went out and got a garden tiller and prepared a pretty good garden plot. I consulted the Burpee catalog and subscribed to Mother Earth News. I saved and recycled coffee grounds, eggshells and tomato skins, carrot tops and potato peels.

The first year was a tremendous success, and I hap-

Auto insurance discounts for seniors Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve read that many car insurance companies offer a variety of discounts to older drivers when they retire or reach a certain age. What can you tell me about this?

Discount Seeker Dear Seeker, Most auto insurance companies offer policyholders a wide variety of discounts, many of which can benefit retirees. Auto insurers love older drivers because they’re experienced behind the wheel and they drive less than younger age groups, which makes them a lower risk for accidents and a safer bet for insurance companies.

While discounts will vary by insurer, many of these benefits can reduce your overall premium by 15 to 20 percent or more, and you are usually allowed to combine discounts to increase your savings, though total discounts are often capped at around 25 percent.

To find out what discounts may be available to you, contact your auto insurer and inquire about these benefits, and any others that may benefit you. s!G E DISCOUNT Many auto insurance companies offer a general “senior” discount that will reduce your premium just because you’ve reached a specific age. The actual name and amount of the discount will vary by insurer.

Allstate, for example, provides a “senior adult discount” of up to 10 percent to drivers who are at least 55

years old and aren’t actively looking for full-time work.

And Liberty Mutual offers a “newly retired discount” to drivers who reach that employment milestone, regardless of age. s,OW MILEAGE DISCOUNT Most insurers offer discounts to customers who drive limited miles each year, which is often beneficial to retirees who drive less because they don’t commute to work every day. The fewer miles you drive, the lower your odds of getting into an accident.

The parameters of low mileage differ by insurer, but generally about a 10 percent discount is available for driving less than 5,000 to 8,000 miles each year, although smaller discounts may also be available to seniors who drive more than this but less than 15,000. s$RIVERS %D DISCOUNT Many states require insurance companies to offer “defensive-driving” discounts to drivers who take a refresher course to brush up on their safety skills. The discounts vary usually ranging between 5 and 15 percent.

Driver safety courses are inexpensive, usually costing around $20 to $30 and can often be taken in a classroom or online. To locate a class contact your local AAA (aaa.com), which operates a Driver Improvement Course

for seniors, or AARP (aarp. org/driversafety, 888-2277669), which offers the Smart Driver Course to members and non-members. s#LUB MEMBER DISCOUNT Insurers offer discounts to members of clubs and associations with which they have partnered. These could include professional associations, workers’ unions, large employers or membership organizations such as AAA, the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, the Seniors Coalition, AARP, etc. You could even qualify for savings based on the college you attended or the fraternity or sorority you belonged to decades ago. s3AFE DRIVING DISCOUNT Many insurance providers now offer discounts based on how and when you use your car. To do this, they would place a diagnostic device in your car that transmits wireless data on how you drive (including how fast you’re going and how hard you’re braking), when you drive and how much you drive. Drivers are rewarded for safe driving, low mileage and for not driving late at night.

In addition, many insurance providers also offer discounts to drivers who do not have any violations or accidents for three or more years.

Humor heals It’s official! The data is in, the research reported and dozens of clown noses distributed! Humor and happiness heal! Norman Cousins introduced this idea eons ago after he checked out of the hospital and into a hotel armed with legions of laughter inducing videos. He learned quickly that a good belly laugh gave him instant pain relief, and was the physical equivalent of two full hours of deep sleep.

Cousins later invested in research rallied by an icon in our industry, Dr. Lee Berk.

Surprised by the limited literature linking humor and health, Dr. Berk set out to prove what his heart has always known to be true.

He modestly mentioned that it was not his intelligence, but his persistence that paid off with proof of the positive impact of humor, laughter and play on happiness, health and longevity.

Over a hundred people flocked to Phoenix from as far away as Australia, Israel, Japan and Norway for the 29th annual conference of the Association for Applied Therapeutic Humor.

Of course, I flew in early for some extra fun. Though I didn’t do much sightseeing since I have been here a few times before, I enjoyed relaxing by the pool surrounded by sunshine, palm trees and waterfalls. This was especially refreshing, having spent the previous week in Dayton, Ohio at the Erma Bombeck writer’s workshop, where it was cold, cloudy and even snowed on Saturday night.

I woke up early every morning to the sunrise shining in my double doors that actually opened to the outdoors, overlooking a golf course. I love Arizona, and would enjoy spending more time there if it were not so far from home. I enjoyed the extra three hours upon arrival (until my body recognized its bedtime), but I don’t like losing them on the way home.

This was my second of three years enrolled in the preconference Humor Academy as well, a concentrated collaborative class for studying, practicing and promoting positive humor, health and well-being. It comes pretty naturally for me, and the return on investment is a no brainer in my book.

The entire conference is one big love fest, where likeminded, positive professionals celebrate, collaborate and confirm our collective quest to make our world a better place, one smile or laugh at a time. From Karen Knott’s opening keynote filled with family memories with her dad, Don, spending time on the set of The Andy Griffith Show, through breakout sessions, book signings and research projects, to the closing celebratory dinner and dance, the days and nights were nonstop.

The impact of our experience is immediate and permanent for AATH virgins and veterans alike, and we will continue our quest to share wisdom, happiness, humor and joy with the world.

Newsings & Musings

By Edith Batson Post & Voice Staff Writer Wonderful family visit On Friday, several nieces and nephews came to visit and take me out for lunch.

The daughters of Frank and Louise Batson Incerto left the children a lovely beach cottage on Topsail Island at Topsail Beach.

Each year the girls come to NC to get the cottage ready for summer rentals. It gives them a chance to visit with each other while getting the house ready. They are so sweet about trying to fit in a visit with me. I do appreciate their thoughtfulness. So Friday, in came Frances Incerto Cronin from Abington, Mass. near Boston. Peggy Incerto Zachary of Washington Corner, PA, and Barbara Incerto Canaday of Houston, Texas.

Barbara’s daughter, Jessica, was with her.

Also nephews Cris Cronin of Massachusetts and David Eldridge of Salt Lake City, Utah. One day before this group had met first cousins Ann Batson James of Cary, Becky Batson Lawson of Mechanicsburg, PA, and Jane Batson Price of Stockbridge, Ga. Her husband, Jim, could not come to North Carolina until Sunday.

Becky’s husband could not come with her either.

They got together at Snead’s Ferry Restaurant. I think I missed Ann’s husband, Allen, but I am not sure if he got together with them or not. Anyway, it is wonderful then that many people can get together when everyone is so scattered.

On Friday, our group trav-

Continued from page 4A hair. I am thankful she loves me so much.

All I can figure is that these odd children wearing manbuns don’t have the privilege of being married to a wonderful woman who likes hair. Of course, for many of them, I fear the first syllable of the word is inaccurate.

I was positive the manbun thing, where a guy grows just enough hair to ball up on the back of his head like a hardworking grandmother, was just a silly fad, like the guys wearing their hair in crownrings like a Disney princess.

That trend quickly fell away, thank goodness. The stretch from Frozen cartoon character rings to Zulu warrior or Nordic Berserker wasn’t far, but those fellers just couldn’t make it.

But I will be dast if I didn’t see a guy with a manbun on a recent trip to a large city. Not only did he have a manbun, but he had beads in his beard.

Beads, of all things.

I wanted to strangle him with my Viking braids.

Ann and Allen have taken me there a few times when they were in the area. I love the BLT’s and have never gotten anything else.

Relay For Life Although the survivor’s dinner took place a couple of weeks ago at Burgaw Baptist Church, Relay for Life Day will be April 16, on Pender County Courthouse Square from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m.

There will be a survivor’s lap in the late afternoon.

Check the time. If you are a cancer survivor and can walk around the courthouse, then register and walk with the rest of the grateful survivors.

Luminaries will be lit later and if you would like you may donate one in memory of someone who has lost his or her life to cancer.

Go downtown on Saturday and support the American Cancer Society and all the survivors.

Good news Strawberry season is here. My niece, Barbara, brought me a quart of strawberries on Friday and oh, were they a beautiful sight.

Lanier’s Farm is where she got them. His farm is right up the road from me so I may be making some trips up there even if I have to walk through the woods.

Our road is now about three feet wider and newly paved. Although the speed limit is 45, there are only two places along the road that one can pass. One of the places is in front of my house and the other is in front of the Lanier farm.

One day I went out to the mailbox and it was gone.

Then I saw it lying on the ground. They were working on widening each side of the road. Later the box was back in its hole. A few days later when I checked the mail, the box had a hole in it and was torn up. Probably some big truck hit it and might not

have known it.

Anyway, nobody stopped to check on it. Stephen put it in the back yard and my grandson, Tommy, said he had an extra box and by the next day I had a new box about two feet farther back than the old one (which our former neighbors, Chris and Melissa Deal) had surprised us with. They even put box numbers and our name on the box. Wasn’t that a thoughtful thing for them to do? We have always been blessed with good neighbors.

A couple of days later, the hole where the old box stood had been filled with dirt thanks to grandson David. I seem to have digressed from the strawberry story. After cleaning them (although I don’t think they had ever touched sand), I decided to make some sweet biscuits to put them on with melted butter. I put my dough in the mixing bowl and poured water in the dough.

It dawned on me that I had not put Crisco in the flour. What to do? I decided to see what they would taste like if I cooked them like that. Then I tried three flashlights and could not see the little numbers on the oven dial. I called my neighbor, Marci Brown, to come turn the oven on. She did, but had to leave her company to do it.

Then I was embarrassed, but she told me to call back if I needed her to turn the oven off. After ten minutes the biscuits were hard as bricks.

I tried to eat one and could hardly cut through it.

Finally, I crushed up the biscuit and put it into the bowl of strawberries. At least the strawberries were good. I guess having been out of practice since June I have forgotten how to cook. I hope it will come back to me.

Final words I certainly learned something about myself-I’m not so smart as I thought I was-but I am certainly not going to give up. My next sweet biscuits will be delicious!

Shalom.

their hair, and look cute and flirty. Horses can wear beads in their manes if their owners absolutely insist on doing so. Men can wear bracelets, or necklaces made of beads—I have a string or two of 16th century trade beads, interspersed with bone and teeth, that I occasionally wear to town on Saturdays, usually when I have the opportunity to frighten vegetarians and liberals.

But one just does not put beads in a beard.

It insults the beard, and that is grounds for a dry shave with a dull pocketknife.

But I am sure that we’ll survive these latest effeminate affronts to male society; after all, we survived the short-lived metrosexual revolution.

At least I could understand why some women liked metrosexuals—they smelled like women, liked many of the same things, but were still basically guys. Guys who dressed very well, and who you could take out in public without worrying about a foul smell coming from the bed of the truck (most of them didn’t drive trucks anyway). I find it significant that the birth rate

dropped during that period of time in fashion history.

While I do take pride in presenting a clean, respectful and professional appearance, I was also taught that cleanliness shows more through a man’s actions than his fingernails. There’s usually more honor in a rime of grease or a bleeding callous than a strawberry-watermelon detoxifying lotion. I’ll trust a hand dripping fresh Go-Jo long before I will one shining with an herbal-scented dermabrasive scrub. I am deeply distrusting of any man who has better fingernails than most women. That isn’t to say everyone who values skin care is suspect, but just as there are good dogs, there are plenty of mad biters, too.

As far as I am concerned, men are supposed to be men, and women are supposed to be women. And no, I am not dumping on tomboys or guys whose interests just don’t extend past the front porch.

There is nothing quite so fetching as a girl in overalls or camouflage – unless it’s a young lady who has gone to the trouble to dress her best.

I do not expect every man to have a bushy beard and a deer slung across the hood of

Are you better off?

If the 2016 election cycle ever leaves the focus on personalities and gets down to issues, we might focus on questions like candidate Ronald Reagan asked voters in 1980: “…Are you better off than you were four years ago?” In North Carolina, the answer depends on who you are and where you live.

North Carolina’s overall economy is improved.

Syndicated columnist and NC SPIN panelist John Hood recently wrote, “Since June 2013, North Carolina employers have added some 252,000 net new jobs. That’s an increase of 6.2 percent, a rate significantly higher than the national average of 5.1 percent.”

He says that since mid2013 our state Gross Domestic Product has grown by an inflation-adjusted 3.2 percent, higher than the national average of 2.5 percent and 2.4 percent in the Southeastern U.S. Per person

once viable communities and work is scarce.

There’s no “magic bullet” and no federal or state funding that will fix rural problems, but it is in all our best interests to help, since our state will be forced, either by courts, state law or moral obligation to pour more resources into propping up schools, social services and healthcare.

Some honest evaluation needs to begin by acknowledging that most small towns will never be what they once were, but each has individual strengths and opportunities to counter threats. All need to do whatever they can to encourage start-up businesses that create jobs, with help such as free or reduced rent, taxes or fees. Some can evolve as bedroom communities providing desirable amenities. Others can reinvent themselves into tourist destinations, retirement communities or specialize on arts and crafts, like pottery or antiques.

Here’s the bottom line: each town or county has some feature or benefit that can be exploited. Local leadership has to decide and be determined to survive and thrive in today’s environment. The help they desire won’t come from outside. It will come from within.

Continued from page 4A pily shared some of the produce with family and friends, but much less happy to share with the deer and rabbits, so in year number two I put up a chicken wire fence around the plot, now about the size of a living room. I planted early sugar snap peas along the fence, and the dog Petunia Anne discovered they grow through the fence on the outside as well, and she developed a liking for them, as well as tomatoes if I left the gate open.

My very favorite vegetable turned out to be beets. I had planted lettuce, turnips and spinach, but the beets were a special surprise – the tops like spinach, and the beet root, if favored by a wet and warm spring, were large, sweet and tender. I had tried corn, too, and followed the advice to get the water boiling and then go pick the corn. The sooner it was cooked, the sweeter it would be. The same with the beets.

Okra was terrific, and I don’t know if it is a cultural thing, a family thing, or a southern thing, but I like to eat okra as a whole pod, medium sized with about an inch of the stem left on as a handle. (Ditto, shrimp, I like ‘em boiled and peeled, with the tail end still attached for a handle.) Over the years I discovered that if you boil the truck.

I do, however, have a problem with men who apparently lack enough red meat in their diets to say

Petunia Anne. Garden pests didn’t bother the sugar snap peas, but she loved ‘em. okra, it’s gonna’ be slimy, but if you steam okra, they are not slimy at all, and I prefer them steamed over boiled or fried.

In my eagerness to have a productive garden, I made the same mistakes everyone else does. I planted way too many seeds, and was reluctant to thin them sufficiently.

Every plant has an optimum amount of grow space, and if you crowd ‘em up, you’re not going to get much. Once I learned that and thinned to the spacing suggested on the seed package, the plants were happy and productive.

There was some discussion at this time, the early and mid-seventies, over whether or not plants had ‘feelings’, whether plants react to their environments and/or attitude of those tending them. There were experiments that included

playing rock and roll or classical music to see which vegetables prefer, and growers speaking lovingly and soothingly to their young charges, or speaking harshly, shouting and screaming at them. The results proved inconclusive.

I know that cussing tomato worms, cabbage worms and squash borers did not deter them in any way. I acquired a collection of stuff to spray on, dust on and sprinkle around to help control the unwanted population of competitors that wanted to eat my garden before I could enjoy the produce.

It was war. I learned to examine leaves closely for the earliest signs of damage, and apply dust before an infestation progressed.

This was the time in American history of CB ra-

income has risen 3.6 percent, compared to 3.4 percent nationally and 3.3 percent in the Southeast.

A recent economic snapshot by the NC Budget and Tax Center looked at countyby-county data. Policy Analyst Tazra Mitchell, reported, “Where you live matters for your ability to get ahead and this county-level data shows that inequality of opportunity persists across the state.”

Those living in urban and exurban areas are enjoying the improved economy, while those in rural counties struggle. 17.2 percent of our population has an income below the poverty level. Sixty-three counties, many in the rural east and far west, had higher poverty rates than that average, ranging from a low of 9.7 percent in Camden County to 33.1 percent in Robeson.

I reported some of this in a recent speech and one audience member asked what could be done to improve rural areas. That question has plagued state leaders for decades and my response was that we’re really not much closer to answers today than when it was first raised.

Many of today’s struggling communities were built and thrived in a time when folks came to town, often by horse and buggy, to sell crops and buy goods. As factories were built many left to take higher paying jobs, an exodus that has only accelerated, exponentially exacerbated by folks now shopping on the Internet.

Sea Turtle Hospital News

By Karen Soto Sea Turtle Hospital Special to the Post & Voice Just when you thought it was safe to break out the shorts and T-shirts Mother Nature sends a parting gift – a shot of freezing temps. Not only is that bad news for the plants that we all put out but also for any turtles heading back toward the coast after a long winter at sea.

It doesn’t take much for one of the little guys to hit a patch of cold air or water and become stunned.

North Carolina had a record year for the number of coldstunned turtles stranding on our beaches, and we had a record year for patients, 92 at one point over the winter. We still have about forty cold stun victims in rehab and we’ve just added some latecomers to the fold.

If you’re a regular reader you know that it often takes months for the total effects of cold to manifest in a sea turtle.

We’re now seeing things like bone lesions and lingering respiratory problems. Poor little Kemp’s Pumba has lost his back scutes and bone and he’s going to have as long a recovery as former patient Geo who spent over two years with us.

His next door (tank) neighbor Zazu II is suffering the same fate all along the edges of his carapace. Poor little Piglet continues on a course of strong antibiotics as we try to clear up a variety of problems.

Our newest admits were probably cold-stun victims who somehow made it back out to the water but never really recovered. They’ve obviously been drifting helplessly for months and it’s a wonder that

something higher in the food chain hasn’t made a meal of them. They’re covered with so much crust, barnacles and algae that we really can’t tell what they look like underneath, or even how much they really weigh.

It’s going to be a slow process of de-crudding, medication and TLC to get them over the hump and back on their flippers.

So even though we hope that the last blast of arctic air is finally over this weekend we still need you all to be on the lookout for stranded critters who are now too weak to do anything but float. They frequently wash onto the beach or into marshy areas because they are at the mercy of the tides.

Although they may appear to be dead that’s not necessarily the case – they may be too sick to move. We continue to rely on our locals and visitors to report any sightings or strandings of sea turtles of any size.

If you see any turtle in distress, injured (or dead) please call our Director of Beach Operations Terry Meyer at 910-470-2880, Hospital Director Jean Beasley at 910-470-2800 or the state hotline for stranded, sick and injured turtles at 252-241-7367. The state number picks up 24/7.

Tours resume April 28 We are closed for tours until Thursday, April 28th when we resume our abbreviated tour schedule of Thursdays and Saturdays from 1-4 p.m. We’re continuing to care for over fifty patients and working on building maintenance and improvements.

Dare’s Reef deployment Back in 2006 we contacted Eternal Reefs in an effort to keep our promise to long-term patient “Dare” that we would send her home. When she died we had her remains mixed into a reef ball, and she became the foundation for a memorial garden of reef balls about four miles off of Topsail Beach.

The reef is formally known as Dare’s Reef and over the years she has welcomed many others (humans, pets and even four of our patients) to her reef. This year we have eleven families who have chosen Dare’s Reef as the final resting place for their loved ones.

The casting will be April 15 with the final viewing on the 17. We love participating in this event. We enjoy meeting with the families and hearing stories about the deceased and why they chose Topsail as their final home.

We are honored that Eternal Reefs has chosen our hospital to be the inaugural nonprofit to benefit financially from referrals to Dare’s Reef.

Meredith Brown, RN, will manage the new schoolbased health center at Cape Fear Middle and Elementary School. communicate to parents that this is available. Those years when kindergartners have to have immunizations, and fifth graders have to have required immunizations; if the kids can get them right there at school, it’s just so much easier.

If a child is sick, the LPN can electronically send the prescription straight to the phar macy. The parent can pick up their child, and pick up the prescription on the way home. Instead of missing two or three days of school, they might miss one day of school,” said Rowe.

Some parents are unable to take off work, and with eve r y t h i n g s o f a r aw ay, transportation can be an issue.

Rowe said that across the country, school-based health centers have been one of the answers to the overuse of the emergency room. People without access to health care were waiting until it was really bad and then going to the emergency room. That was driving costs up and the child was sicker longer than they needed to be.

All three of the schoolbased health centers can see teachers, staff and family members. If a child’s little sister or brother is not in school yet but it’s more convenient for the parent to bring them, the center is available. Entry to PATH requires being enrolled in the school and in the program, but after that it can extend to family members.

The program operates as an integrative system of care, partnering with the guidance counselors and with Coastal Horizons. Teens at Pender High School are also planting a community garden in an effort to encourage healthy eating habits.

“The school nurse has her finger on the pulse of the population health of the whole school, so she can refer students. Nobody is turned away. We are not in this to

The Pender Alliance for Teen Health (PATH) is opening its third and newest School Based Health Center at Cape Fear Middle and Elementary Schools in Rocky Point. The center will allow Pender County students and their families, as well as Pender County teachers and staff, to receive health care at the school site.

In order to receive health care, participants only need to enroll once to qualify for as long as they attend any Pender County school.

Services provided by the center include: health education, annual physicals, sick visits, immunizations, hearing and vision screening, mental health and more.

The prog ram accepts private insurance, Medicaid and sliding scale fees. The grand opening will be held April 27 at 4 p.m.

Sandy Rowe, Executive Director of PATH, said that the center is the final of three centers under a federal grant the nonprofit organization received to build three schoolbased health centers.

“We’re very excited about it,” said Rowe. “Both Dr. Leslie Newman, who is the principal of the middle school and Charles Chestnut, the principal of the elementary school, are extremely supportive. They realize that it is really a great community service. It helps the kids, it helps the parents, and what we’ve found in all school-based health centers is that access is the key. The parent doesn’t have to take a whole day off work and drive their kid to a primary care physician. ''They can be seen right there. It’s just a win-win for everybody. If somebody does have their own primary care physician, we refer back to them what was done. We are providing a community service.”

The first school based health center opened at West Pender Middle School in 2013, and then in 2014 the main and larger hub opened at Pender High School. It was discovered that between the first two sites, there was a Te l e H e a l t h c o m p o n e n t .

TeleHealth is a collection of means for enhancing health care, public health and health education delivery and support using telecommunications technolo gies. It allows a registered nurse at one site to conduct a visit with a nurse practitioner at the other site.

Rowe said that the first two centers have been a success.

Meredith Brown will be the registered nurse at the new center.

“We work really closely with the school nurses to

''We have health education, primary care, and behavioral health. We try to coordinate an integrative system of care because we believe a healthy child is a happy learner.

Pender 4-H summer adventures set Pender County 4-H has a busy summer lined up.

This year’s Summer Adventures feature everything from zoo trips to spending days on the farm, as well as developing practical skills through a number of educational day camp events.

Local 4-H chapters are also organizing a weeklong trip to Betsy Jeff Penn 4-H camp, where youth have been enjoying a traditional summer camp experience for more than 50 years. Two local 4-Hers will also spend an overnight trip at

the Sheraton Raleigh to meet with elected officials and attend a citizenship workshop.

The locally popular Farm Daze events will kick off on June 21 this year, with a farm tour and a trip to a natural creamery in Greene County.

The next day will take 4-Hers to a peach orchard, a cattle farm, and a blueberry farm, if the harvest time permits. That event is set for June 22. The N.C. Soybean Association will host morning events on June 24, followed by the Soil and Water conservation activity

trailer that afternoon.

Beginner surfing lessons, a trip to Masonboro Island, and a visit to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital are among the other events scheduled throughout the summer.

Deadlines and costs vary per event.

Registration is required, and payment must be made before reservations are accepted for any of the 4-H activities. Contact Jessica Hogan at 259.1393, or email Jessica_hogan@ncsu.edu for more information.

Hampstead food pantry needs donations Did you know there are more than 9,000 people in Pender County who are food insecure, 36 percent of them being children under the age of 18? There is a source for nutritious food right in Hampstead – the Christian Community Caring Center, commonly known as the 4 C’s Food Pantry.

The non-profit organization was founded in 1988 and throughout its 28-year history has provided essential food to the people of our community. But monetary and food donations have been decreasing, and the 4 C’s is struggling to prepare boxes with food for its clients. In fact, it has been forced to discontinue the “Snack Sack” for families with children, a vital resource with

summer coming.

“We are so thankful for the local churches and other organizations in Hampstead who continue to support us,” said 4C’s Secretary Jeanne Rick. “But more is needed if we are to provide for all who need it.”

The 4 C’s Food Pantry is funded solely by donations from community organizations and individuals, and is always in need of funds to purchase food, such as oatmeal, grits, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, jelly, canned green beans, corn, peas, pork and beans, canned potatoes, fruit cocktail, canned peaches, hearty soup, tomato soup, canned hash, tuna and chicken breast, rice, Treet, saltine crackers, sugar-reduced ce-

real, spaghetti and macaroni and cheese.

Located at Jones Plaza, 15200 U.S. Highway 17, the 4C’s serves all persons in eastern Pender County, north to the Onslow County line, south to the New Hanover County line, and west to Rocky Point (east of I-40). The clients who come into the pantry may be down on their luck due to a job loss or fire, as well as seniors and disabled persons living on a fixed income.

To make a monetary donation, send checks to 4C’s Food Pantry, P.O. Box 805, Hampstead, NC 28443. All donations are tax-deductible. Donations of food may be dropped off anytime the Pantry is open, M o n d ay, We d n e s d ay a n d Thursday, 9 a.m. until noon.

Messer

I was ready to consider anything and everything up to and including thermonuclear agricultural solutions.

Years ago, when considering resettling to Pender County, I had driven into Burgaw, and back yard after back yard featured gardens filled with trophy collards, and I figured this had to be a ‘goodliest’ land, a place to put down roots again, and I was right. Nothing speaks to my soul like collards, blackeyed peas and pot liquor, cornbread and buttermilk.

I started up my gardening again and it reached its

peak when Hurricane Fran dropped a couple of pine trees on it, squashed it flat, and in the years since I have relied on local farmers for fresh garden veggies.

Actually, all things considered, it’s not a bad thing.

It’s kinda’ like fishing. I did a cost analysis once and discovered bass cost me $635/lb by the time it got to my dinner plate, adding in the cost of the fishing equipment and boat, even worse now with two fish finders and trolling motor. $25 tomato? Maybe not as far-fetched as it sounds.

Continued from page 5A dio, truckers and chewing tobacco. I had a CB radio in the car, listened to the truckers and chatter, had a Red Man Chewing Tobacco hat and used the product when working in the garden, never connecting my tomato plants’ tobacco mosaic virus induced wilt and the connection to the tobacco spit. I planted lots of marigolds in the garden to discourage root nematodes. Nevertheless, I did get tomatoes, if blossom end rot didn’t get them first.

Being a conscientious and aware earth-friendly person, I was naturally reluctant to use chemicals in the garden, no hazardous poisons to control pests, no herbicides, nothing that would cause a blush on the face on Mother Earth. By the sixth or seventh year, up to here with squash borers, tomato worms, aphids and the like,

Lady Titans remain perfect in Four County

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Trask Lady Titans continue to roll through the competition in the Four County Conference. After last week’s wins over Clinton and Midway their conference record over the last three seasons is 33-1.

The last time the Titans lost a FCC game was April 2, 2013, a 4-1 defeat at West Bladen..

Last week the Titans hosted Clinton. The Dark Horses

hung around for a couple of innings before the Titans broke open a 5-1 game with 11 runs in the fourth frame.

A.J. Johnson went four innings to earn the win. She gave up one hit and one unearned run while striking out eight Dark Horses.

Brittany Foy and Haley Smith each had three runs batted in while Kyra Holmes had three hits and three runs scored. The Titans hammered out 18 hits in four innings.

Next up was the Midway Raiders. The Sampson County crew has always been a thorn in the Titans side. This year the Lady Titans wasted no time in pounding the Raiders into submission.

A.J. Johnson went five innings allowing two hits with Brittany Foy throwing two innings of no-hit softball to keep the Raiders off of the scoreboard. Johnson is 10-1 on the year.

Kyra Holmes led the offen-

sive attack with a 4-5 performance that included two runs scored and one run batted in.

Haley Smith was 3-4 while Johnson helped her own cause with a three run triple.

Smith ended the week six hits while Holmes went 7-8 for the week.

The Titans (10-1/6-0) played a double header at East Columbus on Monday before hosting Wallace-Rose Hill on Tuesday. They will end the week at second place Pender.

Lady Pirates pick up two strong conference wins

By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer It’s hard to predict the future, especially when it comes to softball in the MidEastern 3A/4A Conference, but this past week’s results bode well for the second half of conference play for the Topsail Lady Pirates. A win over South Brunswick Tuesday and a victory at Hoggard Friday certainly laid the groundwork for a solid race to the end.

Junior Maddy Laster had three hits, including a double and a triple, and knocked in two runs and Hayley Grizzle had two hits, including a two-RBI double, to back the pitching of Victoria Elder as Topsail opened the second half of the conference race with a 6-2 win at Hoggard.

Facing a pitcher (Hoggard’s Morgan Mathis) that held them to five hits and two runs in a 2-0 win earlier, the Lady Pirates (14-1, 7-0) jumped on the Lady Viking

junior for four game-opening hits and four runs before she recorded an out.

“The difference was preparation,” Topsail Coach Jay Abston said. “We knew what we were coming here to face and we prepared for it all week long. This is a big win, it gives us a cushion going up against the rest of the conference.

“Vic pitched well. Last time we played them she had 12 strikeouts but tonight she let her defense help her out.

Being in the right spots and knowing where to go with the ball, they are the fundamentals of good defense, and we played well tonight.”

Hunter Bizzell got things going with a bunt single to open the first. Alyssa Randall and Keri White had back-to-back singles with White plating Bizzell. Grizzle then doubled to left-center to score Randall and White and Laster singled to knock

Gracie Vincent at the plate for the Lady Patriots.

Lady Patriots hold second place in Four County play

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Pender Lady Patriots have become a force to be reckoned with in the Four County Conference this year. The team has found its rhythm at the plate while junior right-hander Gracie Vincent is handling the majority of the pitching. Last week the team extended its conference record to 5-1 with wins over Wallace-Rose Hill and Union.

“We’re playing unselfish softball right now,” said Coach Gary Battle. “At the beginning of the year it almost seemed like it was a competition against each other. They are playing together now.”

Early in the week the Patriots visited Wallace-Rose Hill to engage the Lady Bulldogs. Vincent was her usual steady self in the circle while Imani Newkirk sparked the Pender offense with a perfect day at the plate. The result was a 14-4 win.

Pender scored two runs in the first inning and led 3-1

going into the fourth frame.

The potent Lady Patriots scored 11 runs in the final four frames to take the win.

Vincent earned the win in the circle with seven innings of work that included five hits and four runs. None of the runs were earned.

The Lady Patriot bats were on fire in this contest, pounding out 13 hits against two Lady Bulldog pitchers.

Newkirk was 4-4 with four runs scored to pace Pender while freshman Jenna Harrell had two runs batted in and two runs scored.

The Lady Patriots hosted Union on Friday night. Again the Lady Pats were on fire at the plate with Vincent throwing darts at the Lady Spartans. The Lady Patriots needed only five innings to defeat the Spartans 12-1. Freshman Jenna harrel pitched the final three innings for Pender.

The Patriots (8-6/5-1) are in second place, one game behind the league leading Trask Lady Titans. The two teams meet on Friday night at Pender.

Pender nine gets two wins

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer A promising season seemed to have turned sour for the Pender Patriot varsity baseball team as they stumbled through the early season and into the spring break winless. Coach Robbie Futch had preached patience as he tinkered with his lineup, hoping that his young team would not lose confidence.

The upstart Patriots finally broke through with a 12-8 win over Wallace-Rose Hill early last week. With one win under their belt, the Pender County crew hosted Union.

The Spartans found a team with renewed confidence.

Roughly two hours later the Pats were the proud owners of a two game winning streak, taking a 3-1 win.

“Finally got over the top in a couple of games,” said Futch. “The Wallace win was big for us. It wasn’t a pretty game by either team, but we’ve been in a few of those so far and haven’t been able to do what was needed in the tough spots defensive or offensively to get the win.”

In the early game of the week the Patriots traveled to Wallace to take on the Bulldogs. The Pats trailed 4-2 going into the fourth frame before exploding for four runs. Wallace fired back with three runs of their own to tie the score going into the final three frames. The Bulldogs went up by a run in the fifth before the Pats plated four

runs in the top of the sixth frame to pull away.

Braxton Treto earned the win on the mound with 3.1 innings of work in relief of Chase Norris. Treto gave up five hits and one earned run while striking out two.

Justin Fedoronko led the Patriots at the plate with a 3-4 performance that included three runs scored. Riley Murray and Treto each drove in three runs.

Next up was the Union Spartans.

The Sampson County team had suffered through a rough early season that was eerily similar to what the Patriots had dealt with. Both teams played one of their best games of the year. However, the Patriots leaned on the pitching prowess of senior Justin Fedoronko to take a 3-1 win.

“Fedoronko was impressive,” said Futch. “ The intent was only to throw him for three innings but he got onto a roll there – striking out two to end the third and the sides in the fourth and fifth. Probably the longest he has thrown since Little League, but he moves efficiently and is aggressive about dictating the tempo of the game.”

Stephen Brunetti had a two-run hit in the third frame to give the Patriots a 2-1 lead. Murray hammered a low fastball into right center field in the fourth inning to give Fedoronko and his charge a little breathing

In My Opinion

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer

In the world of high school sports in North Carolina and in particular Pender County there is not a lot of money available to pay coaches. A head coach at a Pender County high school often times goes in the hole when he figures out what he spent verses what he has earned. Therefore, in most cases they coach for the love of the game and the kids.

In other states a head football coach may teach a class or two or maybe not at all. For instance, a head basketball coach in Indiana probably does nothing but coach and makes more than a teacher/coach in our state. Heck, an assistant coach probably makes as much as a head coach in our area.

Speaking of assistant coaches, in my opinion these people are the most underpaid and underappreciated bunch in high school sports. Often times they do

not get paid and spend as much or more time on the field and behind the scenes than the head coach.

In Pender County, these guys are often times the field crew, the team mom and the coach. They may pitch batting practice or run the drills during practice and get there the next day two hours before the game to line the field or sweep the court. Did I mention that they rarely get paid?

A volunteer coach often times has to get off work early and stay at practice late. I was an unpaid assistant coach for Ron Watson and the Titan softball team for two years. I probably lost $10,000 a year in wages.

While I loved every minute of my time with the young ladies and the team as a whole, I had to make the decision to walk away.

Being an unpaid assistant coach or even a paid assistant coach in Pender County and for the most part in North Carolina is a very rewarding job. However, financially it can be very difficult. As you sit outside the fence or on the bleachers watching your child play, think about the sacrifices that most of the assistant coaches on the sidelines and in the background make on a daily basis. Take the time to thank these folks. It may very well be the only pay that they receive.

Topsail Sports Roundup

By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer It was a good week for the Topsail High School boys’ and girls’ lacrosse teams as both squads defeated their 3A rivals, South and West Brunswick, to gain the advantage for the top 3A playoff slot out of the conference.

The girls’ soccer team had an even 1-1-1 week, the boys’ golf team secured another top three finish, and the tennis team won a key 3A matchup.

No track results were reported by press time.

Men’s lacrosse The competition got a lot tougher on Friday as the Pirates traveled to Hoggard where they dropped a 16-2 decision to the Vikings. Jake Volpe and Chase Popella were the Pirate goal scorers.

Following that first shutout on Tuesday, the Pirates struck again on Wednesday with a 13-0 blanking of West Brunswick – giving them a leg up in the race for the 3A top seed out of the conference.

Following Tuesday’s script, Topsail led 3-0 after one, 10-0 at the half, and 13-0 heading into the final period. Volpe had five goals and two assists, Popella had two goals and four assists, and Nick Haddock recorded two goals and an assist.

Also scoring were Leighton

Randall, Garrett Hedge, Tyler Borden, Jonah Gloss, junior Hayden Shugarts, and sophomore Jorge Lopez.

Topsail easily defeated South Brunswick 16-0, recording the first shutout in program history. Topsail led 3-0 after one period, 11-0 at halftime, and 14-0 entering the final period.

Volpe scored seven goals and an assist in the win, Popella had three goals and three assists, sophomore Leighton Randall scored twice, and Haddock had a pair of assists.

Also scoring for Topsail were Sam Grier and Hunter Oates, Hedge, and Gloss.

Midfielder Kade Ramsey had a great defensive outing by causing two turnovers, intercepting a pass, and scooping up nine ground balls.

Laney came to Hampstead on Tuesday and the Pirates head to Ashley on Friday.

Women’ lacrosse The Lady Pirates stumbled in closing the week with a 14-4 defeat at the hands of a strong Hoggard squad. Hannah Jones, Delaney Popella, Chloe Ruddell, and Erin McFadden had goals for the Lady Pirates.

The Topsail girls came right back on Wednesday and

Pirates beat S. Brunswick, fall to Hoggard

By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer Two of the top teams in the Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference battled into extra innings Friday night, and it looked like the visiting Topsail Pirates might pull out a tough road victory when they scored twice in the top of the ninth to take a 6-4 lead over host Hoggard.

But a pair of errors, a double, two fielders’ choice groundouts, and a pair of game-ending, back-to-back walks led to three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning as Hoggard came back to defeat Topsail 7-6 Friday.

The Pirates (9-6, 3-1) took

the lead in the sixth when a Josh Madole double scored Cameron KImrey and Tyler Ording. That left two on (Garrett Myrka and Madole) with no outs but the Pirates could not plate another run.

“It was a hard-fought game all the way through and Hoggard came out and brought it,” Topsail Coach Chris Blake said. “But I think we beat ourselves. Errors in the field, watching good strikes go by, and leaving it in the hands of the umpire, we’re not going to win ball games like that.”

Hoggard led 1-0 after the first but the Pirates tied it at 1-1 in the second on a RBI single by Colby Emmertz. The

Vikings got right back on top in the bottom of the second frame with three runs, but Topsail again fought back.

A Madole double scored Emmertz, who had doubled, producing a run in the fourth, and another Madole double scored Ording (HBP) in the fifth before a Hall base hit sent Madole home to give the Pirates a 4-3 lead.

Hoggard got that run back in the bottom of the sixth to send the game into extra innings. Payton Phelps (2-2/3 innings, 5 hits, 1 walk, 1 HBP, 3 runs) took the loss in relief of starter Payton Rice (5-2/3 innings, 7 hits, 4 runs, 1 walk, 7 strikeouts).

Myrka had two hits, Em-

mertz had two hits, and Madole had three hits – all doubles – for the Pirates.

Tuesday the Pirates welcomed South Brunswick to Hampstead and sent them home with a 7-5 defeat. Freshman Austin Smith started on the mound for Topsail and went into the fourth inning with a 4-0 lead before his control went awry and Blake replaced him with junior Phelps.

Phelps gave up three hits that led four runs – two charged on each pitcher – before the Pirates’ fourth double-play of the game ended the inning. Phelps then

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Two years ago senior Blake Joyce competed in the hurdles for the Heide Trask Titan track team. After a year’s absence the long and lengthy runner has returned with a vengeance.

He is competing in the jumping events in 2016 and has made his mark for Coach Bill Mercier.

Joyce was a regional qualifier as a sophomore in the hurdling sprints. After his one year hiatus he came back with the intention of making a run at a regional and state qualifying spot in the triple and long jumps. After last week’s first place finish he may very well have qualified for the regional meet.

Joyce was an all-county selection on the soccer field during the fall. He has also played basketball and football in his time at the Rocky Point school. This spring Blake Joyce has made noise on the track for the Titans.

short. The final score read 5-4 Clinton.

The Dark Horses led 4-0 before the Titans cut the lead to 4-2 in the fifth. Clinton extended their lead to 5-2 with a run in the sixth before Trask plated a couple of runs in the final frame. The Titans had the tying run at third base with one out in the bottom of the final frame before Dark Horse standout Johnathan Wright fanned the final two Titans to end the game.

Jordan Flora went the distance for the Titans, giving up seven hits and five runs.

He had five strikeouts and four walks. Only three of the runs were earned. Tynaffitt

Davis was 1-3 with a triple to pace the Titans.

Next up was a non-conference affair with East Columbus. The Titans were a bit lethargic in this contest and underachieved in falling to the Gators 16-2.

The Titan bats were cold and managed only two hits against the Gators while Miles Jordan and Austin Sholar combined to give up 10 earned runs.

The final game of the week was an away game at Midway.

Again the Titan bats were silent in falling 9-0.

Midway scored four runs in the first two innings and led 6-0 after four. Meanwhile

the Titans must have left their bats back at Rocky Point as they were anemic at the plate for the second game in a row.

The team had only four hits on the night.

The Titans (4-6/2-2) were 4-3 overall and even in the Four County Conference race before dropping three straight last week. They managed only six hits in the final 14 innings of the week. Coach Daniel Ward’s charge hosted Wallace on Tuesday before hosting South Brunswick on Thursday. They will travel to Pender on Friday in an important contest that may have playoff implications.

nah Jones had a goal and two assists, Emile Doane had two goals, and McFadden had two goals and four assists.

Also hitting the scoring column were DeVries (goal, 2 assists), Samantha Greco (goal), Samantha Robbins (2 goals), Delaney Popella (goal), and Madeline Matthews (2 goals). Brianna Allman had three saves in recording the shutout.

Laney was at Topsail and the Lady Pirates travel to Ashley on Friday.

Golf The Pirates recorded another third-place finish in a conference match, this one at St. James Plantation, where they finished with 346 points in trailing New Hanover (324) and West Brunswick (344) and ahead of Laney (357), Hoggard (371), Ashley (374), and South

Brunswick (390).

Leading the way for Topsail were Barrett Holmes (84), Evan Higgins (85), Steven Crowell (87), and Harrison Wierse (90).

The Pirates had another conference match on Monday at Beau Rivage. They are at Pine Valley next Monday.

Tennis Topsail opened their threematch week with a 9-0 home

Cota getting prepared for end season run

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Bryce Cota spent the early part of the 2016 baseball season recovering from off season surgery. He knew upon his return that the chances of him taking the mound were slim.

However, he also knew that his bat and knowledge of the game would be of great assistance to a team that has endured many losses. The senior left hander had waited his turn patiently but an injury derailed his plans of anchoring the young Topsail staff.

Last week his bat proved to be worth the wait as he led the Pirates to a win over conference foe South Brunswick.

Bryce Cota is a very unselfish player. He will do whatever is needed to help his team win, even if it means sacrificing his stats in the form of bunting the run over.

With Cota back in the mix the Pirates will be much better. The senior is readying his self for the stretch run.

The repeated arrivals of cold fronts have slowed the fishing at the area beaches.

The only saving grace has been the puffer fish along with a few sea mullet. There has been some grey trout being caught on bottom rigs baited with cut shrimp in between the cold fronts.

These fronts have kept the bluefish away. Hopefully the weather will turn for us shortly.

In the backwaters, there have been a few reds being caught but they are few and far between. There again, the cool waters are delaying the fishing.

The freshwater bite is also being affected by the water temperatures. Those who dare to venture out on the rivers and lakes have found a few bream here and there on red worms. A word to the wise, make sure that

you check the weather reports as the wind has been wreaking havoc on the water the last few days.

This week’s fishing tip While we talk a lot about fishing in the ocean as well as the rivers, there are a multitude of lakes and ponds in the area. These lakes and ponds are often on private property.

When searching for a new fishing hole, make sure that you know whose property it is on and get permission to fish it.

I have found that if you ask for permission to fish these private ponds, more often than not you will be able to fish them. If you are turned away, you probably have just saved yourself a ticket and a fine or even a ride in Barneys squad car.

Finally, I have heard of several tickets being written for fishing without a license. Folks, it is a whole lot cheaper to get the license than it is to pay the ticket

Top Performers

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Last week was full of conference play for all three high schools. The Trask Titan softball team won both of their FCC contests. A.J. Johnson went nine innings last week to earn two wins. She gave up only two hits in each game for the Titans and also had a three run triple. Kyra Holmes was 7-8 last week while Haley Smith had six hits.

The Trask men struggled last week dropping three games. Tynaffitt Davis was 1-3 with a triple to pace the Titans against Clinton.

The Topsail softball team continued its torrid pace in the MEC. Junior Maddy Laster had three hits, including a double and a triple and knocked in two runs while Hayley Grizzle had two hits, including a two-RBI double, to back the pitching of Victoria Elder against Hoggard. Keri White had four hits including three triples and a single, and knocked in three runs to support the two-hit, nine strikeout pitching of Lady loss to tough New Hanover.

The Wildcats dominated the match by recording four shutout wins (3 singles, 1 doubles).

Hudson Smith lost 6-2, 6-3 at No. 1, Thomas Rogers fell 6-4, 6-3 at No. 4, and Austin Lapaiana lost 6-3, 6- at No. 6 singles.

Tuesday South Brunswick played host to Topsail ad the Pirates bounced back with a 6-3 victory. Smith (6-1, 6-0), No. 3 Jason Loher (6-3, 6-0), No. 4

Fedoronko coming on in senior season

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer As senior left-hander Justin Fedoronko strolled to the mound last Friday night he could have felt as if he had the weight of the team on his shoulders.

He knew that the Patriots were coming off of their first win of the year and needed a good performance from him to give the Patriots their second consecutive win.

Fedoronko gave the Pats his best performance of the season in leading the team to the win.

Justin Fedoronko has made huge strides in all facets of his game in the last two weeks.

He has learned valuable lessons both on the field and off.

This has shown in his play on the field and his actions off as well.

With the Patriots entering their stretch run they will count on the left hander both at the plate and on the mound.

It seems as if Justin Fedoronko is coming on strong.

Pirate trio Alyssa Randall, Victoria Elder, and Hayley Grizzle.

The Topsail baseball team got a shot in the arm with the return of left hander Bryce Cota. The senior singled in his first at-bat in the second, singled and knocked in two runs in the third and singled and knocked in the game-winning run in the sixth. Cota was 3-for-3 with three RBIs. Garrett Myrka, was 3-for-3 with a run scored, a walk, and two stolen bases while Chase Riker was 2-for-4 with two runs scored, and two ribbeys.

The Pender Lady Patriots won twice last week and have firmly entrenched themselves in second place in the conference. Gracie Vincent earned two wins in the circle last week while Imani Newkirk was 4-4 with four runs scored to pace Pender at the dish. Freshman Jenna Harrell had two runs batted in and two runs scored. Harrell pitched two scoreless innings against Union.

The Pender baseball team

Continued on page 13A Thomas Rogers (7-5, 6-2), and No. 6 Popella (7-6, 6-3) had the singles wins. Smith and Sam Garland recorded a win (8-6) at No. 1 doubles and Loher and Rogers won (8-3) at No. 2 doubles.

The Pirates closed the week with a 9-0 defeat at the hands of powerful Hoggard.

Topsail was at Laney on Monday and is home against Ashley on Thursday.

Bill Howard Outdoors

By Bill Howard Post & Voice Columnist We are in a time in which information is abundant. Our government monitors information to determine threats to our country. Internet search engines monitor keywords typed as well as websites browsed to better market their advertisers towards the user.

There are facilities, schools, companies, and non-profits whose sole objective it to mine for this data for various uses.

Much like the spelunker seeking adventure and information inside caves, data mining can provide information to turn an ordinary trip into a memorable experience.

I am a writer and a photographer. My career allows me to travel extensively. I am fortunate in that regard. With an assignment that takes me to northern Mississippi to shoot several properties as well as cover an Ole Miss baseball game, I decided to add a little more to the trip.

I wanted to find out what was around that location. I wanted to know if there is anything that me being from the Carolinas would not know about, but should. I went mining for data.

Instead of searching for information on where to hunt mountain lion from horseback and gaining a location to work from there, I wanted to find out was there any outdoors activity special to a certain location, specifically around

Oxford, Mississippi.

Specific searches are tough to narrow down in this regard. If I were to search for turkey hunting near Oxford for instance, it likely would not identify as to whether there is anything special about hunting turkey there, rather it would likely give me a few public lands, maybe a few guides, and some information from the department of natural resources.

Broad searches are the key to finding that special something that you would miss otherwise. For instance, I searched both hunting Mississippi and fishing Mississippi.

The fishing keyword led me to a few more informative leads.

Of course results showed plenty of salt water action, which then caused me to narrow it down a little further.

Once I keyed in on freshwater, then plenty of bass fishing links popped up. Information

on catfish was prevalent. Alligator gar stories and videos was also available.

I narrowed the searches a little tighter.

And that is where I found it. Story after story, link after link, post after post all offered the same information. I had found an outdoors activity to include with my work while 700 miles from home.

Northern Mississippi and Alabama are not only great places to fish for largemouth bass, but the crappie fishing is top shelf. The area is even known as the ‘Crappie Capital of the World.’ Following up on what I was reading, I checked the International Game Fish Association website for records. Line class after line class record all pointed to the area as being a prime spot for trophy sized crappie.

And I know how to fish for crappie.

The point being, without seeking for the information

in a specific manner, I may have never known about the world class crappie fishing in that area.

In North Carolina, we take for granted the knowledge of the striper spawning in the Roanoke River. But for someone from say, Mississippi, they may never have heard of the ‘Rockfish Capital of the World.’ We know with each cast on our coast there is a chance of a red drum weighing over 50 pounds hooking on. But a visitor from New England probably would not.

However, with a little data mining, we can possibly enhance our adventures exponentially. –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 certi-

Fedoronko went six innings while giving up only one run and one hit. He sent nine Spartans back to the pine via the strikeout. Treto faced three batters and sent all three back with their bats on their shoulders.

Murray led the Patriots with a 3-3 performance that included a triple and a run batted in while Brunetti drove in two runs. Coach Futch ac-

knowledged the need for a close win after the team had faltered late in several games this year.

“Being able to survive a game like this, where we don’t have a great night at the plate and still win is a giant step forward.”

The Patriots (2-9/2-4) hosted South Brunswick on Monday and Clinton on Tuesday. They will finish the week out hosting cross county rival Trask on Friday.

Strawberry Fields Forever at OLD RIVER FARMS

By Lori Kirkpatrick, Post & Voice Staff Writer Old River Farms is full of activity, picking and moving the strawberries out to the stand. The demand was so high last year that the Lanier family decided to double the number of plants grown this season.

Although the recent bouts of unusually cold temperatures have presented some challenges, Ben and his father, Dean, have worked hard to successfully keep the berries safe from the frost. As Charlie Baker and Ben Lanier the berries are picked, Charlie Baker takes them out to sell them. He can be found most afternoons running the stand in Burgaw, located on Hwy 117 across from the State Employees Credit Union.

Baker referred to Lanier as “Mr. Do It Multi-tasker.” When he isn’t digging fence poles, building a fence, feeding cows or loading trucks, the youngest of the Lanier family oversees the strawberry fields. After managing the preparation of an estimated 150 flats of berries last week, he is gearing up for the upcoming opening of U-pick. He said that should be happening very soon.

“I’m going to be in a different spot every 10 minutes,” said Lanier. “We just planted one acre last year, and we’re doing two acres this year. Hopefully it’s going to go as well as it did last year. We have to deal with the weather and all the issues that go along with that. When it’s going to freeze, because there’s fruit on the plants right now, we have to run our sprinkler irrigation system all night long. This is hard work, but I love it. Something different happens every single day. There’s always something to fix, things that come up, but I think the strawberries are going to do fine.”

There were concerns about early blooming due to warm weather in November and December, but the berries seem to be on schedule. This year, they planted three varieties of strawberries: Camarosa, Chandler, and Sweet Charlie.

With Baker standing by his side, Lanier joked that the berries were doing well – although they are still not sure about those Sweet Charlies.

Baker spends many afternoons selling strawberries at the roadside stand. He also leads groups of students during field trips at the farm, and with whatever needs to be done. “That’s the beauty of being retired, especially this time of year. I do whatever they want me to do. I’m not a farmer, but I love being out there. I got to help plant some of them back in the fall and last year too. I loved doing that, but I’m not as quick as some of those people who do it for a living. Last week, I was the one taking the flats out of the field, bringing back the berries and driving them up front. They are busy at the farm right now,” said Baker.

Baker also uses the strawberry field for teaching school groups who visit this time of year. He can utilize the surroundings to demonstrate things like life cycles, pollination and soils with students. They go out in the field with jeweler’s loupes to magnify and observe the berries, sin some cases looking for the biggest berry contest winner.

“It’s been fun to use the field for teaching. I love coming out here to the stand too. I will be here most afternoons during the weekdays. Usually our school groups leave at about 1:30, and I come out right after that. Sometimes Ben will come earlier. I met a lot of people last year. Some come and buy three or four flats of strawberries, and I’ll ask what they are going to do with all of them. They tell me what they are making, and I say part of quality control at Old River Farms is that you have to bring me back a piece of that to sample so I’ll know how good the berries are. Doggone it, people bring me pieces of things that they baked. Last year, I know I got strawberry bread more than once, strawberry jelly and jams and things like that,” Baker said. “I didn’t really intend for them to do it, but they did - and I didn’t mind. I like meeting all the people out here, and we get a lot of repeat customers. These berries aren’t sprayed with pesticides. They’re not considered organic, but as long as the berries aren’t sprayed, that’s wonderful. That’s a nice perk.”

Old River Farms will also host its fourth annual Spring Festival April 23. The event will feature more than 40 local vendors selling handmade, homemade and repurposed items. Some items displayed will be: wood working, metal working, paintings, sculpture, jewelry, baked goods, healthy snacks, jams and canned goods, all natural soaps and candles. There will be live music under the barn, local food and games for kids on site. Old River Farms is located at 8711 Old River Rd. in Burgaw.

When Jesus said this [a prayer to God], he cried out with a loud voice, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lazarus, come Out!â&#x20AC;? The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, â&#x20AC;&#x153;unbind him, and let him go.â&#x20AC;?

John 11: 43-44 It would be hard to miss the literary foreshadowing this passage is for the resurrection of Jesus, or the theological tapestry that it weaves around the questions of death and life, resurrection and the Messianic reality.

But above the sly and subtle nuances of this text there emerges three central themes: death, resurrection and freedom. Lazarusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sickness is not to death according to Jesus and as they prepare to leave, Jesus says that Lazarus is asleep, not dead.

It reveals that Jesus knew his death was not permanent.

In the process of comforting Mary and Martha, Jesus resurrects Lazarus from the tomb and at the end it is necessary to set him free from the burial bindings.

Not only does this cast a new light on the life of Lazarus, but it becomes the process for a person toward discipleshipâ&#x20AC;Ś there is a dying, a rising and an unbinding in the life of the believer as he or she moves towards discipleship to Jesus Christ.

It was Dietrich Bonhoeffer who said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Christ calls a person, he bids that one to come and die,â&#x20AC;? not necessarily to a physical death like Lazarus, but to a death to self.

We shed the ego of the self, the self-centered self to enter

Free for life

the service of Christ.

On the road to discipleship there are things that must die in us, things we must die to in order to follow Jesus faithfully. We shed our exclusive focus on ourselves. We shed many earthly, fleshly whims and desires. We severe relationship with that in the world that is distracting and look to a new and better way of relating to God. We die to old sins, old ways and old ideas, worldly wisdom and worldly whims.

We die to the things that distract us from living in the kingdom of God. As Lazarus died, so every one who would follow Christ comes to a time of dying to that which hinders us in our discipleship to Christ.

Then comes the resurrection. This is a rising, a rising not to the old life that we once had but to a new life shaped and governed by Christ. We rise to the new life that God offers in Christ, a life that will not end with the grave but which lives on in the spirit and the presence of God. We die to the old life and come back to something all together different.

Yet even this new life has its hindrances, things that yet hold us back from full discipleship.

As Lazarus emerged from the tomb, his new life was beginning, but there was yet one further step to take. He emerges from the tomb still dressed in the shrouds of death. His bindings keep him from fully entering the new life that God in Christ has given.

Jesus immediately recognizes the problem, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unbind him!â&#x20AC;? Jesus says with authority, and Lazarusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bindings are torn away that he may fully enter this new life that has been given him. As

and be blessed.

up to our deathly bindings; we must face up to our subtle bindings that still hinder our life in Christ.

Through prayer and deep reflection, through confession and total honesty with ourselves and with God, we discover and shed the burial bindings that keep us bound to the old life and the old ways. We discover and shed all that keeps us from a full participation in the new life in Christ.

So brother Lazarus shows us the way. Through death, to new rising, and then the unbinding that sets us free, free for life, free for service, free for total commitment to Christ.

Lazarus has paved the way and Christ has demonstrated the path out of darkness into light, out of death into life, free life, unhindered life in the service of Jesus Christ.

we answer the call to follow Christ, we, too must be set free from those things that yet bind us to the old life, to our old death.

There are things even at this stage, after the resurrection to new life which bind us. In the first stage we die to the big things, the obvious things. In this stage we are set free from smaller things, subtler barriers to our full life in Christ.

Even now, even in our current faithfulness, we all find hindrances, entanglements, little webs of the old self that cling to us and hold us back.

Until Christ sets us free by His command and presence, we are now fully free, fully ready, fully able to enter the radical new life that Christ has given us and offers us always.

What binds you and what binds me. We strive to face

All are welcome! Pastor Bill Howell
