Four weeks after Florence

Hurricane Michael should reach Pender as tropical storm From Staff Reports Pender County is bracing for another storm with the potential of several inches of rainfall, high winds, and possible tornados. “We are tracking Hurricane Michael, which most likely make landfall in Florida,� said Tom Collins, Pender County Emergency Manager. “This storm has the potential of bringing several inches of rain and possible tornados.�

H u r r i c a n e F l o re n c e damaged many roofs in Pender County. Many roofs are covered with blue tarps.

Collins urges all residents to secure tarps on their rooftops.

“Residents need to make certain tarps are properly secured by furring strips along all four sides of the tarps,� said Collins. “If tarps are not properly secured homeowners could have more rain damage.�

The National Weather Service said the storm is expected to move into the Pender County area this Wednesday into Thursday. “If this storm delivers up to 5-inches of rain, we could experience more flash flooding and more river flooding,� said Collins. “The ground is saturated, which means trees and power lines could easily fall.�

Collins said residents

should prepare for another significant storm. “Any items that are loose, such as trash cans

and lawn furniture need to be secured,� said Collins.

Ribbon cut at new Penderlea School

Officials cite funding for for school opening delay

By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher Pender County Schools will not be opening this week, according to Superintendent Dr. Steven Hill. In a message Monday evening, Hill says the county schools have depleted the system’s fund balance as well as the $4 million given to them by County Commissioners in an attempt to repair and

reopen schools damaged by Hurricane Florence.

Commissioner David Williams says the repair contract funding process requires careful review. “We have to make sure everything is correct if we want to be reimbursed by FEMA.�

Surf City hires contractor to remove debris, work on beach From Staff Reports At the town’s special meeting Oct. 3, Surf City Mayor Doug Medlin introduced Mark Stafford, Vice President for Response and Recovery Operations for DRC Emergency Services, the company contracted for the beach and debris cleanup.

According to Stafford, DRC recently received approval for a Debris Management Site for construction and demolition debris.

DRC is already picking up vegetative debris, and now – with the approval of the Debris Management Site – intends to begin picking up construction and demolition debris immediately.

Simultaneous with the debris pickup operation, DRC is performing a beach operation, recovering an estimated 20,000 cubic yards of sand from public right of ways, sifting it to remove debris, and returning it to the beach with the guidance of engineers.

Stafford said that a first pass of construction debris pickup will take approximately 14 days to complete.

He estimates there will be three separate passes in total over a prolonged period

of time.

Following the first pass DRC will conduct a second pass, usually quicker than 14 days in duration, at which time they will expect the town to set a deadline for residents and businesses to move debris to the right of way for a third and final pass.

While Stafford anticipated debris pickup would be complete within approximately 45 days, the beach restoration project, because they will have to bring in as much as 150,000 cubic yards of sand, is expected to take at least 120 days. The project, termed a dune reconstruction project will likely involve both the dunes and the adjoining beach – following the beach contours established by consultant TI Coastal.

While the engineers do not want to disturb the existing beach, reality is that large equipment will be required to remove some pieces of debris, and a beach rake will be required to clean up finer pieces of debris. Stafford, in response to a resident’s question, indicated that DRC

Welcome to my world

Regina Hill Post & Voice Columnist

Go with the flow It seems so much longer than the month since Florence’s assault on our beautiful coast. She left in her wake a flat landscape where dunes once stood.

Families continue to seek shelter as floodwaters inundated their homes.

Children have been displaced from their schools and grassy roadways stand buried under molding mattresses and fallen trees.

Homes built outside of flood zones sit under stagnant water, leaving their owners with no recourse as many had no anticipated need for insurance coverage of this type.

Tragedy sometimes elicits the worst in us, with desperation and exhausted surrender sapping logic and motivation.

Hurricane Florence may have succeeded in her physical destruction of property, but she failed in stealing the resilience of our local communities.

Hurricane Hazel set the bar by which other storms have been measured. Now, however, Florence may share equal infamy in terms of historical significance.

My mother was four years old when Hurricane Hazel bore down on the North Carolina Coast in 1954, delivering winds of up to 150 miles per hour.

On her approach, she registered a category four and wiped out entire coastal communities, traveling up the U.S. coast into Canada.

My mother distinctly remembers the sound of the wind as it battered her tiny clapboard home.

My grandmother ordered mom and her sisters to sit silently on the coach while she frantically swept water from the room.

She paced nervously, quietly whispering to herself that this was the rapture – an event comparable to the great flood that forced Noah into the Ark. The sophisticated warning systems and access to up to the minute information had yet to be created, so they waited for the next gust of wind to take the roof or level the walls.

Although ordered, there had been no mass evacuations in her small farming community or time to properly prepare.

My grandmother did not have access to brightly lit grocery stores filled with convenience foods and fresh fruits and vegetables.

There were no generators to maintain electricity or fancy coolers to keep ice solid for days.

Their rural home was surrounded by farmland and the comfort and support of neighbors was unavailable. Filling the bathtub with water wasn’t an Continued on page 4A

There are no yellow ribbons There are no yellow ribbons now.

Well, I reckon there might be a faded thread of a memory around a utility pole near Microwave Tower Road in Roseboro, where hundreds of people gathered on Oct. 5, 2000, all searching for a little boy who couldn’t catch a break, a little boy we called Buddy.

Tristen “Buddy” Myers was four when he laid down to take a nap with his great aunt. Buddy has never been seen again.

Most of us never met Buddy, but he became the center of a community.

It was a widespread community, one of first responders and reporters and professional searchers and people with cars full of food.

By the time the week ended, then a month passed by, then years, we all became part of another community, one where sadness is common but occasionally tempered by a happy ending that gives many an excuse to go on.

That community is the one that never forgets a missing person, especially a child.

I made a friend that week in Monica Caison, the boss lady of the CUE Center for Missing Persons. I admit, at first I was put off by this loud, bossy woman hovering over Buddy’s aunt like a protective hen, but it didn’t take long before Monica became a dear friend. Something she said during the second – maybe the third—day of that week still haunts me. It’s a battle cry of sorts.

Every missing person is somebody’s baby.

It doesn’t matter if the missing person – MIP in my notebooks and crime files – is a child like Buddy, or a grown woman who’s made some bad choices, or a man whose car turned up in an odd place.

Every missing person is somebody’s baby. Every single one is a daughter, a son, a mom, a dad, a brother, a sister, a cousin, a friend. In the eyes of God, every single person has value. Some make some pretty sorry choices, some I might not trust in my house, but every missing person is somebody’s baby.

Note the use of the present verb tense, “is”. There is no past tense in the missing persons’ community, at least until a body is recovered.

Tristen “Buddy” Meyers Those who care hold on to every shred of hope. Christmas gifts wait, wrapped, for years. I’ve seen tables set for folks missing for years. In he hearts of people whose children are missing, they think that maybe the car slowing down at the driveway is bringing someone home, or the telephone is ringing with impossibly good news. In many cases, that hope is only satisfied when a bundle of bones are discovered in an out-of-the-way place, or an unidentified body finally receives a name.

Buddy was born July 16, 1996. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. He has a scar on the left side of his neck.

Exercises that help arthritis pain, stiffness Dear Savvy Senior, What exercises are best suited for seniors with arthritis? I have osteoarthritis in my neck, back, hip and knee and have read that exercises can help ease the pain and stiffness, but I don’t know where to start, and I certainly don’t want to aggravate it.

Stiff and Achy Dear Stiff, Many people who have arthritis believe that exercise will worsen their condition, but that’s not true. Exercise is actually one of the best treatments for osteoarthritis.

Proper and careful exercises can help reduce joint pain and stiffness, strengthen muscles around the joints and increase flexibility. It also helps manage other chronic conditions that are common among seniors with arthritis, such as diabetes, heart disease and obesity.

Here are some tips to help you get started.

Recommended Exercises Determining exactly which types of exercises that are best for you depends on the form and severity of your arthritis, and which joints are involved. It’s best to work with your doctor or a physical therapist to help you develop a personalized exercise program. The different types of exercises that are most often recommended to seniors with arthritis include: s2ANGE OF MOTION EX ercises: These are gentle stretching exercises that

My Spin

can relieve stiffness as well as improve your ability to move your joints through their nor mal range of motion. These exercises should be done daily. s3TRENGTHENING EXER cise: Calisthenics, weight training and working with resistance bands are recommended (two or more days a week) to maintain and improve your muscle strength, which helps support and protect your joints. s!EROBIC EXERCISES Low-impact activities like walking, cycling, swimming or water aerobics are all recommended three to five times per week to help improve cardiovascular health, control weight, and improve your overall function.

It’s also important to keep in mind that when you first start exercising, you need to go slow to give your body time to adjust. If you push yourself too hard you can aggravate your joint pain. However, some muscle soreness or joint achiness in the beginning is normal.

To help you manage your pain start by warming up with some simple stretches or range of motion exercises for five to 10 minutes before you move on to strengthening or aerobic exercises. Another tip is to apply heat to the joints you’ll be working before you exercise, and use

cold packs after exercising to reduce inflammation.

If you’re experiencing a lot of pain while you exercise, you may need to modify the frequency, duration, or intensity of your exercises until the pain improves. Or you may need to try a different activity, for example, switching from walking to water aerobics. But it you’re having severe, sharp or constant pain, or large increases in swelling or your joints feel hot or red, you need to stop and see your doctor. %XERCISING !IDS To help you exercise at home, the Arthritis Foundation offers a variety of free online videos (see Arthritis.org/living-witharthritis/exercise/videos) to guide you through a variety of exercises.

Or there are arthritis exercise DVDs you can purchase for a few dollars through Collage Video (CollageVideo.com, 800819-7111) or the Arthritis Foundation Store (AFstore. org).

Also see Go4life.nia. nih.gov (or call 800-2222225), a National Institute on Aging resource that offers a free exercise guide that provides illustrated examples of dif ferent exercises.

If you need some motivation or don’t like exercising alone, ask your doctor about exercise programs in your area for people with arthritis. Hospitals and clinics sometimes offer special programs, as do local health clubs and senior centers.

If you could wave a magic wand and make one change that would provide the greatest benefit to rural North Carolina what would it be? I’ve been intrigued by that question ever since it was first posed during a panel discussion on rural issues.

I thank the many readers, who gave some very valuable answers to that question, but will defer to Patrick Woodie, CEO of The North Carolina Rural Center. Woodie has just completed a tour of all 80 rural counties in our state, meeting people and viewing conditions.

Patrick says if he could only choose one thing his top priority would be the completion of last-mile broadband Internet in rural counties. Our state has done a commendable job of completing middlemile broadband to libraries, schools, hospitals and some state agencies, but hasn’t finished the job.

Why is this so important and why hasn’t it been completed? The Internet is no longer a luxury but almost a necessity. With a scarcity of healthcare providers, especially in mental health, telemedicine is essential to make sure rural areas get proper healthcare.

There are some hard-to-fill disciplines in our schools; the Internet can put a master teacher in every classroom.

Our students need Internet access to complete homework assignments and do research without hanging around outside closed libraries or coffee shops, too frequently happens. No business can function well without the ability to contact customers, market their products and make purchases.

And even though it is often competition to local merchants Internet access is a must-have for today’s consumers to shop, learn and be entertained. If we have any hopes of people

moving into or even remaining in rural North Carolina access to broadband Internet is essential.

The reasons why broadband isn’t universally available is economic.

Most existing Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are for-profit ventures and laying fiber optic cable is expensive in densely populated communities, but is cost prohibitive in rural areas where, by definition, there are fewer than 250 people per square mile.

In accomplishing lastmile broadband availability to all areas we need to be creative, collaborative and cost effective. Each county’s solution will be a bit different, some involving private for-profit enterprises, but others having a mixture of for-profit, non-profit and philanthropic organizations. And no one technology will be right for every area, so a mixture of fiber, fixed wireless and other technologies will be required. The ultimate test will be whether or not the service is affordable. $50 to $75 per month is accepted as the upper limit customers will pay for broadband.

There are some examples where this is working in our state. In Northwestern Carolina Skyline telephone, a co-op, provides broadband for rural areas of Alleghany, Ashe and Watauga Counties, using a combination of landline and fixed wireless broadcast signals. East Carolina Broadband, a private group, provides ISP service using grain silos and other tall structures to broadcast fixed wireless signals. Rural electric co-ops are considering offering service and the City of Wilson’s Greenlight project has worked very well, even though larger ISPs don’t like the competition.

We cannot tackle all rural issues at one time, but providing last-mile broadband Internet service is a goal we can and should pledge to complete for the wellbeing of all people.

The historic Assembly Building did sustain some roof damage from the storm but repair crews are already at work to get it ready for this year’s festival.

“In the aftermath of Hurricane Florence, we need to celebrate our coming together as a community helping our friends and neighbors recover from their losses,” said Festival Chairman Rick Stidley. “What an opportunity this year to say, we may be eroded, but we’re not erased; flooded, but not finished.

Much more will be featured at the juried art show. Good food, live music, a beer and wine tent and lots of activities for children will also be available, but the focus is on the art, according to Stidley.

“This year we have undertaken a major restoration project to repair and reinforce the roof truss system in our historic Assembly Building,” Stidley said. “Our initial costs totaled over $154,000 and now we have additional repairs. “Your continued support is needed as we work to preserve this historic building which functions at the very heart of this island community.”

Instead, I got to know him very well, despite never even being introduced. I heard the whole sad, sordid tale about his mother, whose poor choices eventually led to her death at a very young age. Raven was 15 when Buddy was born. He went to live with his grandmother, Sally, who had a terminal liver condition.

His grandfather Robert accidentally backed over Buddy with a car when he was three.

Robert asked his brother John and his wife Donna to take Buddy.

They who put their American dream of retirement aside to take on a child younger than some of their contemporaries’ grandchildren.

When he came to live with John and Donna, Buddy had some emotional and physical problems, which provided additional challenges for Donna

and John, but they didn’t care. They loved Buddy as their own son.

Buddy was Donna and John’s baby, but he could be anybody’s child.

The pictures show him as a typical all-American boy, one who bears a startling resemblance to Shane Jr., whom I call my grandson. They both have blonde hair, big eyes and happy smiles. L’il Shane is the age now that Buddy was when he disappeared.

One of my co-workers has a little boy the same age, and of a similar description.

When Miss Rhonda and I arrived at the Myers’ home that night, flashlights cut through the dust raised by a dozen firefighters’ vehicles, muting the stars in the October black sky. Before we even got to the house, we heard people shouting “Bobby!

Bobby!”; it was a while before all the searchers discovered his name was Buddy, not Bobby.

I got too close to that story; I spent days and nights walking trails and riding in trucks with

was unimaginable. Unfortunately, the losses for the hardest hit families were unrecoverable as many had little if any insurance. Access to outside resources was limited, as was the ability to communicate. However, families and neighbors immediately set to work picking up and rebuilding. The work seemed unending and, amidst the loss of life and routine, depressing. Little by little, homes were rebuilt, roads reconstructed and dunes created once

again. And, with this tragedy came knowledge and lessons learned.

The same will happen now. The support and love that continues to pave regrowth will come from the most unexpected places. We will work long, exhausting hours, adjust and, piece by piece, will enjoy our little slice of heaven again. Our blessings are many and our focus unyielding. With the help of our neighbors, family and friends, we will be just fine.

searchers, waiting at the command post set up in the old Ford dealership, talking with volunteers from a number of states, grim professionals who were among the best at what they did, even though it often meant recovering a body rather than rescuing a missing person. One, from West Virginia, quit his job and went through two years of training and certification because his daughter had disappeared. Thankfully, his girl was found safe after just a day in the woods, but he remembered the pain, and wanted to help other parents.

I talked with a team of highly trained Native American trackers, who found hints that others had missed, and a fellow who claimed to be an expert mantracker, but could only be described as a sideshow parody. I placed him in the same category as the greenhaired Ouija board “master” and the psychics who hinted that for a fee, they could provide an exact location.

I photographed people who brought carloads and coolers filled with home-made food to the command post. One woman told me she had to do something, since her grandchildren were the same age as Buddy.

Then one night, as a cold, wet storm front blew in from the coast, I watched an exhausted John Hayes of the Sampson County Sheriff ’s Department call everyone together. Shoulders slumped, he announced that the search was being scaled back, due to the weather and the lack of clues beyond a footprint and a toy found in the woods. A small handful of searchers stayed to continue the hunt, but by the end of the weekend, everyone had gone home.

Buddy has never been found; there have been a few glimmers of hope through the years, but none ever panned out.

The little boy joined the hundreds of people who haunt Monica Caison’s dreams, and drive her desire that no family

should ever have to live without an answer. The eyes of children, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and friends stare out from MISSING posters produced by Monica’s group.

One wall of my office was once covered in those posters, but I ran out of space. I now have them in a box, but they are not forgotten.

There are no yellow ribbons now, although boys like Buddy and girls like Brittany and men like William and women like Allison are not gone, at least not to their families.

They are not simply missing children or runaway teens or adults who went astray. Every single missing person is much more than a simple, judgmental description that fits in a headline or a newscast.

Every single one of them is somebody’s baby.

Walsh, Wallis, defense power Pirates past Cougars 38-0

By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer Long winning streaks have not been an overwhelming staple of the Topsail football program, especially during its sixyear tenure in the MidEastern 3A/4A Conference - and winning streaks to start a season are even rarer.

Dating back to 2005, the Pirates have started a season 4-0 twice, this year and in 2017 and 3-0 one time (2015). The finishing marks in those three years were 5-6 in 2017 and 2-7 in 2015, with this year still a work-in-prog-

ress. The longest wins streak since 2005 was nine games (11-2, 5-1) in 2008 as a member of the Coastal Plains 1A Conference, six games (8-3, 6-2) in 2011 in he East Central 2A Conference, and five games (7-4, 5-2) in 2012 in that same conference.

After the four-week Hurricane Florence-forced

layoff – and a 4-0 start thoughts turned to which path this year’s Pirates would take. If last Friday’s conference opener at South Brunswick is any indication, there may be a serious upward trend.

Junior running back Noah LaValle was “held” to 95 yards rushing on 21 carries but senior backfield mate Hayden Walsh was right there to pick him up with 93 yards on 12 carries and three touchdowns, and junior quarter lit up the night sky with 244 yards passing on an 8-for-15 effort to lead Topsail to a 38-0 road win at South Brunswick.

The Pirate offense took a while to get going but when it did it capitalized on several Cougar mistakes and took a 24-0 advantage into halftime.

While the offense was doing its thing, the Topsail defense was busy racking up its second shutout of the year by limiting South Brunswick (3-2, 0-1) to 31 total yards. Two sacks (minus-10 yards) and two bad snaps (minus-32 yards), to go along with an abysmal 5-for-13, 43-yard passing effort and a lost fumble greatly contributed to the Cougar woes.

Titans roll over Devil Pups 54-13

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer After nearly three weeks away from the Friday night lights, the Heide Trask Titan football team was just happy to be playing football again.

Of course, demolishing the Lejeune Devil Pups 54-13 made it even sweeter for Head Coach Johnathan Taylor and his troops.

“It was nice getting out under the lights after all that has happened. I’m proud of the way the guys played after being off so long.”

The Devil Pups were outmanned from the beginning of the game. The Trask defense has shown glimpses of being a very strong unit and in the first half of this contest, they were dominant. The Lejeune offense was held to 24 yards of total offense in the first half. In the first two possessions they net-

ted minus two yards.

The Titan offense hit the ground running. They opened their night with a 56 yard drive that ended in the end zone. Antonio Carr took a pitch from quarterback Jake Johnson and raced 28-yards to pay dirt.

On the next possession senior Khamari Gorham finished off a 49-yard drive with an eight yard scamper to give the Titans a two touchdown lead. Trask scored 35 unanswered points in the first half.

Lejeune scored their first points of the game in the second quarter following a roughing the passer call that negated an interception and return for a touchdown by Will Berry that was called back. The Devil Pups scored following the 15-yard foul.

Trask racked up 245 yards of offense with the highlight of the half being two touchdown passes by Johnson, his first two of

Lady Pirates return to court with two key 3A victories

By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer September 6, 2018.

Before last Wednesday, that was the last time the Topsail volleyball team stepped on a court as Hurricane Florence inflicted her reign of destruction and terror on Southeast North Carolina.

Since then – and entering Tuesday’s game against Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference foe North Brunswick – the Lady Pirates

had the benefit of just two practices. But you wouldn’t have known that had you seen them play against the Lady Scorpions, West Brunswick, and even Ashley in a busy week.

Julia Sullivan filled the stat sheet with 15 service points, four aces, three kills, 11 assists, and four digs, Madison Lofton (nine kills) and Gia Marinelli (seven kills) were the primary beneficiaries of a combined 28 assists from Sullivan and Ashley Hard-

ee (17 assists), and senior defensive specialist Lillin Malinowski came off the bench to lead the way with 12 digs as Topsail defeated North Brunswick 3-0 (2513, 25-7, 25-11) to resume the fall season.

There was very little competitiveness in the match as the Lady Pirates eased their way to a 13-6 first-game lead before a nine-point, Hardee-led surge put Topsail on top at 22-6. A kill by Miner and two in succession by Lof-

ton ended game one.

“We came prepared and now we have to get ready for West Brunswick,” Sullivan said. “I really wanted to play and it was exciting being back out there” The second game was a tale of two teams at different levels. Topsail led 2-1 before Miner (four aces, four kills, eight digs) went back to serve. Thanks to a quartet of aces and a pair of Marinelli kills – to go

In My Opinion Coaching high school sports can be a very challenging chore. You have to be able to handle a lot of different types of personalities. I will go one step further. I believe that you have to coach a junior varsity team much different that you coach a varsity team.

As a junior varsity coach, you often have players on the roster that need a lot of one on one instruction. They often times lack the fundamentals necessary to be successful at the high school level. It takes much more time and a lot of patience.

As a varsity coach you expect to have the majority of your team fundamentally sound. For instance, there is very little time to teach a high school basketball player how to shoot or dribble or even defend a player the correct way. It would be like trying to teach a high school softball player how to put their glove on. I have actually had that happen. The first year that Trask was open Coach Ron Watson had a few girls that had never played. We had a girl play part of the season right handed before telling us she was left handed. She thought you put the glove on your dominant hand.

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer

I believe that a junior varsity coach has to be more patient and a little more lenient than a varsity coach. I also believe that they should not worry as much about wins and losses. I believe a junior varsity teams season should be judged on how much they improve.

It is easy to get caught up in winning at any level. Let’s face the facts, If you coach a junior varsity team to a winless season but show improvement, then you my friend will be looking for something else to fill you free time come next season. It shouldn’t be that way, but we all know that high school sports are driven on wins and losses. Of course, this is just my opinion. By the way, I love writing that line. No matter how crazy I get with this column, I can say it is just my opinion and it makes it all right…. Or does it?

Kickers Corner

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The hurricane rocked everything in our area.

The high school soccer season was also hit hard

by Florence. Pender and Trask has not played since the storm hit while Topsail played their first Mideastern Conference contest last week.

Topsail (3-2, 1-0) opened post-Florence play with a 6-1 Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Conference win at South Brunswick. Daniel Godin and Jason Colvin each scored twice, with Ethan Rivenbark and Alex Sims both also finding the back of the net.

Assists were recorded

by Hiatt Ellis and Alex Sims (two each), along with Breck Bryant and

Greg Stirrat. Christian Spring had three saves in net for the Pirates.

Topsail was at Ashley Tuesday (Oct. 9) and is at Laney Thursday (Oct. 11) for a pair of conference games. The Pirates are in a four way tie for first in the MEC with a 1-0 record.

The Heide Trask kickers, (2-6-1/1-0) have been practicing and will resume action this week. They were scheduled to play at Dixon on Monday and home verse Croatan on Wednesday. Both Croatan and Dixon are tied in the conference standings with Trask at 1-0.

Pender (5-4/0-1) was scheduled to play at East Carteret on Monday and at home verse Southwest Onslow on Wednesday.

Titan spikers earn first conference win; Patriots fall at Croatan

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Pender County schools suffered quite a bit of damage from Hurricane Florence flood waters. There have been numerous families displaced including several athletes’ families.

However, last week the Pender County superintendent’s office gave the go ahead to play some athletic events. Both Pender and Trask played one volleyball match last week.

The Lady Patriots traveled to Croatan on Thursday and came away with a 3-0 defeat at the hands of the Conference leading Cougars.

The Rocky Point Heide Trask Lady Titans had a home game verse East Carteret. Both the Lady Titans and Cougars had not played a match since September 6th. The match

Pender-Topsail 0OST 6OICE 4HURSDAY /CTOBER

0AGE !

Pender County Pigskin Preview "Y "OBBY .ORRIS Post & Voice Sports Writer With week five of the high school football season finally in the books, the three Pender County teams can finally begin to get into a rhythm. Let’s take a look at this week’s action. By the way, I was perfect in my predictions last week.

4OPSAIL AT ,ANEY The Pirates are 5-0 for the first time since joining the Mideastern Conference. They are also 1-0 in conference play and seem to be the real deal. The next few weeks will tell the tale for the Hampstead crew.

Laney is 1-4 overall.

Their only win was against a winless Triton team. The Bucs lost to New Hanover last Friday night.

For those who thought that Topsail was a one man team had better rethink their position. Junior QB Cody Wallis is the real deal and fullback Hayden Walsh is a viable option running the football. That being said, we all know who the best back in the conference is.

Lavalle was held under 100 yards for the first time this year. The Cougars thought that if they stopped Lavalle they stop

the Pirates. They loaded the box and dared the Pirates to throw the ball.

Wallis answered with 244 yards passing and two touchdown tosses. The most amazing thing about Wallis is he rarely makes a mistake.

The Pirate defense may be the most unsung unit in the area. This defense is as tough as they come.

Look for the Bucs to try and stop Lavalle. That is easier said than done.

Coach Wayne Inman turns Wallis lose on the Wilmington school. Lavalle gets his 100 plus and Wallis throws a touchdown pass.

The Pirate defense shuts the Bucs down. I will give them one touchdown simply because I believe that it is hard to shut a 4A school down. The score: Topsail goes 2-0 in the conference Topsail 30 – Laney 7.

4RASK AT %AST #ARTERET The Titans have won two in a row and all of the sudden nobody is talking about the preseason movement. This week they travel to East Carteret to play a 4-2 Mariner team that I believe does not live up to its record.

The Mariners barely beat winless Croatan and was slammed by Southwest Onslow last week. This team lost a lot from last

years squad. I believe that they will find the going tough against senior Foster ‘the real deal’ Williamson and his counterpart Mac ‘the Knife’ Richardson and the Titan defense.

Trask quarterback Jake Johnson has made huge strides running the option offense. He carried the ball around 10 times last week and made the right reads most of the time. He also had two touchdown tosses last week. That is what the Trask offense is missing.

Zion Cruse was slowed last week in the first half and played sparingly. He makes the Trask offense go from his fullback spot.

When the Titans open the game with three or more dives it seems to open things up.

The Titan backfield is deep. Look for the brothers Carr to make some noise this week. Johnson will eclipse 100 yards and Cruse will pound the Mariner defense into submission early. However, the story will be the Trask defense.

I worry about the long ride and the home field advantage that comes with it. I am still going with the Titans. the score: Trask 33East Carteret 13.

0ENDER AT $IXON This is turning out to be a long season for the

Patriots. We all knew the Pats were young and thin up front. However, there is talent there and the season has all but slipped away from the seniors. Dixon is winless but has been competitive in most games.

This is a battle of teams looking to escape the basement of the Coastal 8 Conference.

Pender has a viable weapon in Lavell Henry. He is quick and tough and will give you 110 percent each and every play. His brother Makhel is a very good athlete as well and gives the Patriots two weapons. The trouble is that the o-line is struggling. Quarterback Bryson Stewart can make plays if he gets the time.

The Bulldog defense can be had and the Patriots need to seize the opportunity early. If the Pats can make some noise in the first quarter this may be the game that Pender gets off the winless list.

Get the ball to your playmakers. A lot of Lavell and a few bubble screens to Makhel. The magic number is 30. If Pender can score 30 points they have a real shot of winning this conference game. Pender’s lack of depth hurts them late. The score: Dixon 33 – Pender 26.

Topsail Sports Roundup

By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer Just about everyone got back into action last week with varying degrees of success, although the majority of the results were on the positive side. s'IRLS GOLF The Lady Pirates again played well, finishing comfortably in second (144) in a MidEastern 3A/4A Conference match, but they could not overcome the schoolrecord score of 109 shot by powerful Laney.

Ashley, Hoggard, and South Brunswick all tied for third at 163, with West Brunswick sixth (178) and South Brunswick seventh (179).

Lady Buccaneer Jayla Rogers shot a two-underpar 33 to earn Medalist honors, ahead of teammates Grace Holcomb and Reagan Creasy – both of whom shot a 38. Topsail freshman Jessica Townsend was next with a 40, with teammates Angela Linehan (50), Emily Green (54), Ashley Garrett (54),

and Liz Sharpe (57) following.

All five Lady Pirates scored in the top 17 out of 35 total players – five of the top 17 coming from Laney.

The Topsail girls played Monday at North Brunswick, and played in the NCHSAA 3A East Regional tournament Tuesday (Oct. 9). s#ROSS COUNTRY The Pirate teams participated in a conference meet last Thursday that was designated as a “hurricane relief run,” with both the

girls and the boys finishing third in their respective races.

Hoggard had four runners in the top eight on its way to a 19-point win over runner-up Ashley. Ashley’s Luke Scacher was the individual winner in 17:128.79.

Brendan Parrella (18:57) was the top Pirate finisher, followed by Brandon Hayes (18:58), Travis Souza (19:09), James Campbell (19:45), Brad Kimmel (19:46), Cooper Case (20:02),

The Heide Trask Titan volleyball team earned their first conference win of the year. Lanie Barnhill led the Titans with 14 kills while Brayden Smith had five kills and 15 assists.

Emily Thomas had eight kills and served two aces to end the match.

Williamson the real deal for the Titans "Y "OBBY .ORRIS Post & Voice Sports Writer There are many different types of leaders in the world of high school sports. There are those leaders that are very vocal and talk their teammates up and then there are those that lead by example.

Rarely, there are those that both lead by example and vocally.

Heide Trask senior linebacker Foster Williamson is one of those teammates that have the ability to lead both ways.

Williamson currently leads in tackles for loss as well as overall tackles. He is one of those defenders that the offense has to keep tabs on each and every play.

The Titan defense has begun to come on strong.

With the bulk of the conference schedule still left to play, look for Foster Williamson to be a man among boys. Foster Williamson is the real deal for the Heide Trask Titans.

The Topsail volleyball team beat two of three of the Brunswick County high schools last week. In the win over North Brunswick, Julia Sullivan had 15 service points, four aces, three kills, 11 assists, and four digs while Madison Lofton had nine kills.

Gia Marinelli had seven kills with Ashley Hardee finishing with 17 assists.

Hardee had 20 points, 10 assists and 11 aces in the win over West Brunswick.

Topsail Lady golfer freshman Jessica Townsend finished fourth in a conference golf tour-

nament, shooting a 40, with teammates Angela Linehan (50), Emily Green (54), Ashley Garrett (54), and Liz Sharpe (57) following.

Topsail shut out South Brunswick in football action last week. Junior running back Noah LaValle had 95 yards rushing and caught a touchdown pass while senior backfield mate Hayden Walsh had 93 yards on 12 carries with three touchdowns, and junior quarterback Cody Wallis was 8-15 for244 yards through the air.

The Trask football team

has won two in a row after starting the year 0-3. Last week they won their conference opener in grand fashion, beating Lejeune.

Antonio Carr had 70-yards rushing with two touchdowns while William Berry and Reggie Carr each caught touchdown passes.

Senior Jake Johnson led the Titans with 164 yards rushing along with two touchdown passes that totaled 66 yards. He finished the night with 230 yards of total offense in the win. He is this week’s top performer.

The Pender Patriot football team was glad to get back onto the gridiron.

The team had not played a game since September 7th, a 51-0 defeat at the hands of Goldsboro Rosewood.

The team hoped to be much more competitive in their Coastal 8 opener against Richlands. For one quarter of play the Pats held their own. However, the lack of depth, especially along the offensive and defensive lines proved too much to overcome as the Wildcats beat the Patriots 56-6.

Pender came out inspired after the long layoff.

Miss Holmes made her mark on the basketball court during the winter sports season and on the softball field during the spring sports season. This year she has gone one step further. She is no playing on the volleyball team as well.

Miss Holmes has the rare combination of strength and speed. She is tall and has many skills that translates to multiple sports.

With the volleyball season being altered because of the storm, the Patriots will have to make their move early. Tyanna Holmes will help the team make that move.

They held the Cat’s to two touchdowns in the first quarter and seemed to be in the game. However, the Onslow County Wildcats scored 24 unanswered points in the second period and took a 38-0 lead into the break.

The Richlands coaching staff made major substitutions in the second half.

The referees eventually went to a running clock due to the 42-point slaughter rule.

Lady Pirates Continued from page 5A along with several unforced Lady Scorpion errors – when North regained the serve there were on the short end of an 18-2 count.

Mallory George (four kills, two digs) put the game to rest with a kill.

Lightning struck again in the third game with Sullivan going back to serve with Topsail ahead 5-3. George had three kills, Sullivan had four aces, and Lofton added two kills to fuel a 14-point outburst that pretty much took the fight out of the North girls.

A Marinelli block ended the evening. “The layoff definitely didn’t hurt us, we came back stronger after only two practices, and continued to play just like we did before the break,�

Malinowski said. “Individually, I was just really excited to be back and play some volleyball. “We know North isn’t one of the better teams in the league but it’s still a good start and it will help us get ready,, and gain more confidence, for the stronger teams.�

T h u r s d ay p r o v i d e d more of the same as the Lady Pirates toyed with West Brunswick on their way to another 3-0 25-10, 25-9, 27-17) win. The Lady Trojans had the first serve

recovery. We have to pay for everything up front. If we deplete our fund balance, we will get in trouble with the Local Government Commission and it will effect our bond rating. The county has to remain solvent during this,� Williams said Currently the projected return date for county schools is between Oct. 18 and 22, based on environmental hygienist and contractor reports. “We want to desperately get our community moving

forward.

Sixty-four PCS staff members are displaced themselves but have often showed up to work in community outreach events.

PCS staff members are also supporting almost 600 students who have been displaced and are preparing some to return long distances for our first day back,� Hill said in Monday’s message.

Hill said updates on the school system’s progress toward reopening will be provided every 48 hours.

Antonio Carr had 70 yards rushing and two touchdowns. The Titans rushed for 423 yards and finished the game with 489 yards of total offense.

T he Titans are now 2-3 overall and 1-0 in the Coastal 8 Conference. They will play at East Carteret on Friday in what will be the first of three games in seven days due to Hurricane Florence rescheduling.

Trask took the second set 25-12 East took the lead early in game three and the Lady Titans struggled. The closest the Titans came to taking the lead was at 19-16.

East won game four 25-16, sending the match into the game five tie breaker.

The score was tied 3-3 before a 4-0 Trask run gave the home team the advantage. The Titans led 12-6 with Emily Thomas serving the final three points of the win. “After game four, senior captain Lanie Barnhill said

that the team needed to win for two teammates displaced by the storm,� said Claris. “The girls started yelling louder and louder and then the Trask fans joined in. I really think that noise made a huge difference in game five which we dominated.�

Lanie Barnhill led the Titans with 14 kills while Brayden Smith had five kills and 15 assists. Emily Thomas had eight kills and served two aces to end the match.

The Lady Titans are now 1-3 in the conference. They were scheduled to play at Dixon on Tuesday.

s* 6 VOLLEYBALL The young Lady Pirates picked up where they left off before Hurricane Florence by defeating North Brunswick 2-0 (25-9, 25-13) last Wednesday and West Brunswick 2-0 (25-4, 25-13) Thursday.

Addison Clark (four kills, four points, two digs, ace), Regan Parker (three kills, three assists, dig), Elizabeth Fonville (three kills, three points, ace, two assists, two digs), and Olivia Visconti (two aces, three points, five assists, six digs) led the way in the win over the Lady Scorpions.

All 14 girls hit the statistical sheet against West Brunswick. Fonville led the way with three aces, seven points, two kills, and two digs. Aiden McGuire (two aces, three points, kill, assist, 10 digs), Carrina Shugarts (three aces, 15 points), and Fonville (three aces, seven points, two kills, two digs) also had strong performances.

The winning continued for the Topsail girls (12-1, 5-1) at Ashley Friday as they defeated Ashley 2-0 (25-16, 25-20) for the sec-

ond time this year. Parker racked up four points, three kills, eight assists, and 10 digs, McGuire strung together five points, two aces, three kills, an assist, and nine digs, and McFadden had three kills, a block, two assists, and a dig.

Along with the varsity, the girls were home versus New Hanover Tuesday, and are at West Brunswick Wednesday and at North Brunswick Thursday. s ' I RL S T E N N I S The Lady Pirates’ reentry into competition didn’t go too well as they fell 9-0 to powerful New Hanover (10-0, 5-0). Anna Duckworth was involved in the two closest matches, falling 6-2, 6-2 at No. 2 singles and 8-2 with Chely Pritt – who fell 6-1, 6-0 at No. 4 singles – at No. 2 doubles, New Hanover recorded sweeps of all the games at No. 1, No. 3, and No. 6 singles and at No. 1 doubles.

Topsail was home Tuesday for Senior Night before participating Thursday in the Mid-Easter n 3A/4A Conference championships.

but lost it without scoring a point.

Hardee (20 points, 10 assists, 11 aces) took the serve and knocked down four aces in an 8-0 Topsail run. The lead continued to build behind another strong game from Marinelli (six kills, two aces, two blocks, three digs) and Rachel Hobson (four kills) before a Marinelli kill ended the game.

Topsail was up 13-9 in the second game before Lofton (four kills, two assists, 13 digs) took over the serve. When she gave up the Lady Pirates led 23-9.

Two unforced West errors secured game two.

West fought hardtop avoid the sweep, forging six ties. From 15-15, Hardee took the reins and three aces, along with a Marinelli block and kill, led to a 21-15 Topsail advantage.

A Lofton kill and a West unforced error ended the evening. “I don’t know why all the aces fell in, I was feeling good and just in a groove,� Hardee said. “But we knew coming into the week these were two big games against 3A teams so we came out strong and played as a team, and played well in two important games. But we’re playing good and I feel we can play with anybody.�

The Lady Pirates (10-3, 4-3) did play well through two-thirds of the match

at Ashley but still could not overcome the hardhitting, well-rounded Lady Screaming Eagles (13-1, 7-0) in a 3-0 (17-25, 15-25, 9-25) loss. “I thought we played better this time then the last time we played, that’ for sure,� Topsail Coach Hill Pearsall said. “Their offense is so quick it’s hard for us to adjust sometimes but we still made a lot of great plays and we hustled really hard in the first two games, especially. We keep the game close enough they had to worry about it. “I think, in he third game, they are such a good hitting team we had a little more trouble digging up some of the balls on serve/ receive and we couldn’t get our offense going. But I was still proud of the way we played, we played so much better than the first time we played them.�

L o f t o n l e d To p s a i l with six kills and 11 digs.

Marinelli had five kills while Miner and Sullivan had three each. Sullivan had seven assists with Hardee adding nine.

The three-game-a-week schedule caused by Hurricane Florence continued this week with a key 3A matchup at home 17-3, T u e s d ay a g a i n s t N e w Hanover (7-3, 5-1) before road-trip rematches at West Brunswick Wednesday and at North Brunswick Thursday.

Continued from page 1A when they were struck by a drunk driver.

Four of the boys lived through the accident, but McMorris did not survive.

Still, the supplies were delivered as planned, and the Cross Creek community is humbled and grateful for the act of kindness shown to them in the midst of the McMorris family and friends’ grief. “He was obviously an extraordinary young man and we are blessed to have been the recipients of his final act of generosity. It was such a senseless tragedy,� said Cross Creek resident Janine DeVito.

In a written statement, the McMorris family asked members of the community not to place items as memorials at the scene of the crash. They expressed concern that others could be injured on the roadside. Instead, the family requested that those who want to honor him tie a

Topsail Coach Wayne Inman said. “But I thought, as a team, we play well, from the kicking game, to the offense, to the defense. They showed us some things we hadn’t seen on film and that put us in a situation where we had to throw the ball, and that, in turn, opened some things inside for Hayden and some of the other guys while they were focusing their attention on Noah. “Noah didn’t have one of his better games, he wasn’t getting outside on some of those plays where we felt he should have. But (Offensive Coordinator Brandon) Coach Adams did a great job of mixing things up while the defense was playing lights out.�

Topsail (5-0, 1-0) kicked off and the Cougars fumbled the kickoff, giving the Pirates the ball in the red zone. But four plays netted just four yards and South got the ball back on downs.

After a South punt, the Pirates drove from their own 49-yard line to the Cougar

Cross Creek residents are now honoring Andrew with red ribbons on their properties, and they are encouraging others to join them.

Whether you were affected by Hurricane Florence as many Crook Creek residents were, or if you were not, DeVito and others are asking others to tie a red ribbon on their property to honor this young man and take a photo of it in support of Andrew’s family. Those who would like to participate can post a picture made public on Facebook or Twitter and add the hashtag #RibbonsforAndrew. “Among the devastation, in some strange way it gives us hope,� said DeVito. “Please take part with a picture of your act of kindness in his memory.

Just when you think you’re devastated, you realize that somebody else just lost a

whole lot more than you did. It puts some perspective into our suffering.�

DeVito expressed that residents of Cross Creek, as well as many others in Burgaw and across Pender County, need help with manpower as they continue to tear out their homes and begin the rebuilding process.

In memory of Andrew McMor ris, people have been placing red ribbons at homes, businesses and more. John and Alisa McMorris, Andrew’s parents, shared a statement thanking the community for their support. The following statement was sent to the Riverhead News-Review through a family friend and spokesperson. “Words cannot express how grateful we are for all your love, prayers, thoughts and deeds. They all mean so much to us. Thank you is not enough. Give all your children and loved ones an extra-long hug today and don’t wait for the right time to express love to one another. Peace and love to you all.�

11 where the drive stalled.

Jose Orellano picked up the slack with a 28-yrd field goal and a 3-0 Pirate lead.

A three-and-out forced fourth down for South but the ball was snapped over the punter’s head and Topsail took over at the Cougar 22-yard line. Eight plays later, Walsh plowed into the end zone and Orellano connected for a 10-0 Topsail lead. Again, South could not move the ball and Topsail got the ball back 60 yards from the opposing end zone. It took just six plays – the key a 23-yard LaValle scamper to make it 17-0 when Walsh rambled in from 15-yards out and Orellano struck again.

South was forced to punt again and this time the Pirates had to travel 58 yards in the 1:36 left in the first half if they were to score again. They did it just in the nick of time after passes of 32 yards to Walsh and 11 yards to Johnathan Ward, and a spike by Wallis made it second-and-goal from he two-yard line with 0:05.3 ticks left. Walsh bolted in as time expired. “That’s our job, when the other team keys on one guy or one thing someone else has to pick thing up,

and tonight was my opportunity,� Walsh said. “Our team really came together tonight. I think it can really help the confidence of all of us, but especially the offensive line. They can make holes for me and they can make holes for Noah, and they played very well, especially on that first scoring drive. “Last year we were 4-0 then we had a losing streak.

Tonight, I think we set the tone for this year.�

South Brunswick packed things in to stop the run to start the second half, and it slowed the Pirates down some. But Wallis found Cameron “bambam: Barras streaking down alone the middle of the Cougar defense and hit him, in stride, for a 44-yard scoring strike with 0:33.9 left in the third quarter, then found LaValle all alone in about the same area on Topsail’s next possession, and after LaValle hauled in the onthe-money throw, he outran the Cougar secondary for a 66-yard scoring play with 8:38 left in the contest.

Orellano was 5-for-5 in PAT kicks to go along with his field goal.

Bill Howard Outdoors sustainable number.

Hurricane Florence’s rampage on North Carolina’s coast created another issue for both the Wildlife Commission, Division of Marine Fisheries and wildlife biologists.

Fish kills looked apocalyptic and straight out of Revelation following the floods from Florence. Crews were tasked with hosing thousands off Interstate 40 once the waters receded so they could become passable again.

Biologists quickly began looking for answers to the fish kill and found a familiar effect of post hurricane encounters. The water just did not have enough oxygen for the fish to survive.

It is common for hurricanes that cause lots of flooding that after the waters go back down that swamp areas share their less oxygenated waters with other pools of standing water that increasing becomes less oxygenated as well. Fish then become lethargic and can be seen gasping for air at the waters’ surface as well. Then as the flooded areas come back to normal, the less active fish are not able to make it out of the shal-

By Bill Howard Post & Voice Columnist

I have conveyed in this column many times in the past the importance of wildlife biologists to proper hunting seasons, locations and quotas. Many factors are taken into account such as the number of surviving offspring, natural deaths, vehicular and other unnatural deaths, and harvesting through hunting seasons.

We’ve looked at wolf hunts, bison hunts and earlier this year the first grizzly hunt in the three states around Yellowstone National Park. We have discussed in detail the success of the near eradication of the American alligator to the point that many southeastern states have generated funds to assist both the alligator population and other species through the licensing fees for limited hunting seasons as the alligator came into a

lowing water and are soon landlocked.

Once disease and pollutants (we have had an increase in pollutants introduced to the waters due to the flooding, but they were not great enough to cause the majority of the fish kills) have been ruled out, the next task at hand for biologists is to start retrieving sample sizes of various species populations in different areas.

This information is necessary in order to control seasons for the next year so species are not fished to an unhealthy level.

We should all expect variations to the length of seasons, size of creel, and size of fish for the most vulnerable species over the next year or two. Stocking programs may also be administered in order to get the populations to a safer and more sustainable number as well. Stocking programs usually include a combination of using fish currently in hatcheries as well as transporting fish from other areas that were not hit as hard.

neered beach design. This was estimated to occur in 2020.

Continued from page 1A would go house by house to remove sand deposited as a result of ocean overwash, but would require homeowner permission to conduct such removal on private property.

Residents attending the meeting expressed concern about the debris which, visible or not, was washed into the ocean and will present a hazard to swimmers, surfers, and fishermen. At this time there is no plan to deal with possible offshore debris.

The possibility of marine debris removal will be discussed with town administration and engineers at a future date. Another resident expressed concern that in the past dunes were built up to the side of oceanfront houses, but the area beneath the houses was not protected resulting in a washthrough which impacts the properties in the next several rows.

This project will not address this problem, but will simply return the dunes to their pre-storm positions.

According to Medlin, a later beach replenishment project will, in fact address such issues with an engi-

Not only has the storm affected the fishing, but the hunting was affected as well. While it is likely the deer population will be fine for future seasons, North Carolina took a hit with the aforementioned alligator season.

With Florence hanging around for an extended stay, the flood waters and bad weather caused an unforeseen result. Only one alligator was harvested and that was on the second to last day of the season.

Surf City emergency declaration can be a problem for vacationers, local businesses From Staff Reports The emergency declaration associated with Hurricane Florence continues to result in an economic impact in Surf City.

Scott Erickson of Century 21 Realty explained at the Oct. 3 special town board meeting the impact of the declared state of emergency and mandatory evacuation on the vacation rental industry. As he explained, a vacationer could reserve a particular property and pay for both the rental and any travel

expenses associated with their vacation. Approximately 50 percent of those who reserve vacation rentals purchase insurance to protect them from just such events as Hurricane Florence.

However, the insurance will not reimburse the vacationer until or unless the declared state of emergency exceeds 30 days. When the emergency exceeds 30 days, the insurance carrier will reimburse the vacationer, and the rental company or landlord keeps the rental

payment. Were the state of emergency not to exceed 30 days, but the beach and restaurants remained closed, the rental company or landlord would be forced to refund the customer’s money.

While the state of emergency clearly benefits the vacation rental industry, it is – as pointed out by a Ward Realty representative – a double-edged sword.

The fact that the rental companies cannot provide vacationers with a date that the state of emergency will

be lifted is causing vacationers with future reservations concern. While bringing people in too soon will give them a negative vacation experience, stringing them along as to whether or not their vacation reservation is any good is equally damaging. While the Council is reluctant to provide a specific date the state of emergency will be lifted, the mayor assured the audience that the Council would make an effort to provide them with a date as soon as possible.

Surf City hosts CAMA presentation, Q&A From Staff Reports The Town of Surf City hosted a CAMA (Coastal Area Management Act) presentation on Oct. 2 to give residents of Topsail Island an education on the rules and regulations governing rebuilding on the beach.

The Act is enforced by the Division of Coastal Management, and the presentation was conducted

by Jason Dail of the DCM, with the assistance of Surf City Building Inspector Steve Padgett.

The most impor tant distinction to make when considering building along the beach is to determine whether the proposed construction is repair or replacement. According to Dail, replacement is work that exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure (not including value of land, value derived from the location of the structure, value of accessory structures, or the value of other improvements located on the property) damaged by a natural event, and requires compliance with existing regulations and the issuance of a CAMA permit. Market value is determined by using any of the following methods: an appraisal, replacement cost with depreciation for the age of the structure, or the tax assessment value.

There is a minimum 60foot setback required for development on the oceanfront, normally measured from the First Line of Stable-Natural Vegetation on the dunes. Sadly, the erosion in many parts of Surf City has completely eliminated the dunes, and there is no First Line of Vegetation. These areas are under consideration to be designated as unvegetated beach, in which case the setback would be determined from the high water mark.

If, for example, one had a free-standing deck and stairway to the beach which sustained storm damage, a determination would be made as to whether the repair cost would exceed 50 percent of the value of the entire deck. If so the deck would not be permitted, and the only construction allowed would be a staircase from the back door to the beach, built parallel to the dune line, as close as possible to the base of the dune.

With over 125 people in attendance, the bulk of whom were owners of oceanfront property, much of the emphasis moved to repair, work whose value does not exceed 50 percent of the structure value, and which would not require a CAMA permit. Questions included: Q. Topsail Beach is discouraging property owners from rebuilding private beach accesses until the dune line has been rebuilt and the beach cleaned up. Are you (CAMA) going to prevent people from building these accesses? A. We cannot prevent someone from installing steps to get access to the ocean. According to Padgett, Surf City would also prefer that property owners hold off on installing stairs until after the dunes are rebuilt since the stairs would complicate the process of pushing sand to create the dunes.

Q. What is the timeline for rebuilding the dunes in Surf City? A. Surf City anticipates it will take 45-60 days to get approval from FEMA to move sand, but the area where the dunes were completely washed away has received emergency approval and sand sifting and replacement is already underway.

Q. What if a homeowner waits until the dunes are replaced, will the new dune then be considered a First Line of Vegetation for setback and construction purposes? A. If the Coastal Resource Commission declares the beach to be an unvegetated beach, the renourishment of the dunes will not be considered as a first line of vegetation. The dune, without the vegetation that may take a few years to grow, is not a dune but rather a sand berm.

Dail noted that if the town successfully replenishes the dunes it would be in their best interest to plant vegetation and install sand fencing. Planting and fencing do not require a CAMA permit.

Q. For houses that have not lost their decks, are stairs going out onto the beach allowed? A. You can run them laterally, parallel to the dune line, or back toward the street. Because the storm created such an erosion of sand there is now a flat beach with high tide actu-

ally coming up under some houses. DCM does not want stairways onto the wet sand. The only reason steps are being allowed ocean front at all is to provide emergency e g ress from the structures.

Q. Can’t the first line of vegetation be determined from satellite photos taken before the storm? A. Yes, and it is being used to determine where dune replenishment will be located. It cannot be used to establish setbacks.

Q. Houses which have no dune protection underneath … how should a realtor advise a potential purchaser regarding their possible condemnation? A. According to Mr. Padgett, only one house in Surf City has been identified as a candidate for demolition, and that property owner has the right to appeal this designation and prove that the house has not been more than 50 percent damaged. Any houses on the beach can stay there as long as the damage doesn’t exceed the 50 percent threshold.

Q. Will public beach crossovers be forced to turn sideways (parallel to the dune line) when they are rebuilt? A. At this point the DCM is concerned with storm recovery, protecting homes and businesses, and monitoring repairs on the beach.

Public crossover have not been a topic of discussion at this time, but as the right of ways are pretty narrow, decisions will be made to protect the integrity of the dune as much as possible.

Q. What are the criteria for sandbag eligibility? A. Explained in depth on the CAMA website, structure in imminent danger, within 20-feet of the erosion escarpment, are eligible for sandbags.

There is a $400 permit fee associated with sandbags, and a number of requirements accompany the application. It is intended for temporary erosion control, and both single-family homes and multiple dwellings are eligible.

Q. Is the sand being p l a c e d o n t h e b e a ch now natural sand, or is it being trucked in?

A. According to Padgett the sand being used now on the part of Surf City where the dunes are gone is sand which came from the beach, It has been collected by the contractor, sifted to

remove debris, and being put in place. It is estimated that when FEMA approves the replenishment of the remaining dunes, sand will be trucked in.

Q. A resident from 8th Street indicated that the dunes were decimated from Broadway to 9 th Street, and part of the 9th Street crossover is in their yard. On the oceanfront there are perhaps a half dozen homes which had dunes on their sides, but no dune protection underneath. The lack of this dune compromised the integrity of the entire dune line, allowing the ocean to pour through the dune line sweeping sand and debris into the streets and homes and causing widespread damage. While these remaining homes might have less than 50 percent damage, does it make sense to demolish these few buildings to protect the many located behind them? A. The only authorization the DCM can provide is for the town to reestablish the dunes along the line where they existed prior to the storm.

The dune as it existed before was an established structure. Any replacement sand would simply be a sand berm, whether adjoining or underneath the houses, and would afford little protection in any case until vegetation is reestablished. Padgett noted that in the past, when sand has been placed beneath these homes, it disappears with the first nor’easter.

Q. When the beach nourishment in Surf City occurs, can individual homeowners be notified in advance so that they may manually move sand beneath beachfront homes if they so choose?

A. Yes, if the homeowner advises the town that they wish such notification, they will receive it.

Recognizing that the regulations governing construction on the beach can be confusing, both Dail and Padgett invited residents to contact them with further questions, or to request a site visit to examine any construction plans. Dail can be reached at 910-7967221, Padgett through the Town of Surf City at 910328-4131. Helpful information can be found at the DCM website – NCCoastalManagement.net.

Share the Table responds to community needs Share the Table, a faith-based community food ministry supported by nine churches within Pender and Onslow Counties, has been helping area residents get back on their feet in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence. Since the storm, the nonprofit has received an outpouring of food donations as well as other items to help with recovery.

The rebuilding has just begun. Since reopening Sept. 17, Share the Table has served more than 300 families. In addition to the emergent needs from the storm, the organization continues to offer free community meals on Sundays, a food pantry and a school backpack program. During a normal week, they are feeding more than 850 Onslow and Pender Country residents per week.

“We reopened last Sunday, and we have been trying to get as many supplies as possible. The community and the whole state have been wonderful with supplying us with food, cleaning supplies, household items and hygiene items.

We have gotten big deliveries from Greenville, Sanford, and Raleigh, “said Director Dawn Ellis. “Also, lots of people who were out of town because of the storm came back with carloads of supplies. It’s been great.”

Since last Monday, Share the Table has served more than 1,800 people. Ellis said that they are just trying to disperse everything as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Convoy of Hope recently delivered supplies, as well. The immediate goal is to get food, cleaning supplies and hygiene products out to as many people as need them.

Ellis said that, at this point in time, the most helpful donations are monetary ones.

“Currently, we are getting shipping containers to help organize what we have and get it out more efficiently. Monetary donations would be best right now because this is going to be a long recovery process. That way, we can get what we need when we see a hole if we are not able to fill that with other donations. Then we will have the money to do that,” said Ellis. “It’s just been heartbreaking hearing all the stories; and then it’s been wonderful having all the donations. This community has really come together. It’s been wonderful. It’s just been an amazing outpouring of love and support that we are getting, and we have been able to share with everyone in the community.”

Ellis said that lots of families have called in to help. Share the Table is now open their regular hours, and they are providing meals on Sunday nights as usual. For now, the meals are being offered to take out because they do not have room in their warehouse to provide a sit-down meal.

“For those who in need of food, hygiene and cleaning supplies, they can just come in and get it,” said Ellis. “We are happy to help. It’s overwhelming how much support we have gotten. We are just very grateful for all the donations and support form the community and the whole state. They are coming in from everywhere.”

Share the Table is located a 12395 NC Hwy 50 in Hampstead. Sunday dinners are offered from 5:30 until 6:30 p.m. to anyone who is hungry or lonely. There are no eligibility requirements and families and individuals are welcome.

The food pantry is open, and donations can be made Tuesdays from 10 until 11:30 a.m. and from 1 until 2:30 p.m. During this time, families and individuals can shop for grocery items once per week. Their mini grocery store includes produce, fruit, canned goods, meat and more.

Making a way for God

By Dr. Ray W. Mendenhall Contributing Writer A voice cries out: In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. Then the Glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all the people will see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

Isaiah 40: 3-5 Then the disciples brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it and Jesus sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields.

Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna!

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David! Hosanna in the highest heavens!� Then Jesus entered the Temple; and when he had looked around at everything‌ he went out to Bethany with His disciples‌Then they came (back) to Jerusalem. And Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out those who were selling and those who were

buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers‌. Is it not written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations?â€?

But you have made it a den of robbers.

Mark 11: 7-11, 15-17 Isaiah 40 is traditionally an Advent passage.

It speaks of God coming to meet His people and bring them home. In this it may speak to and parallel what is happening here in Mark’s gospel, what we call the triumphant entry.

Isaiah 40 speaks of the making of a way in the wilderness for His people, a road back, as it were, to God. As Jesus enters Jerusalem, He is preparing a way to bring God and His people together once again. Jesus is making his way into Jerusalem, but in a larger sense Jesus is making a way into the hearts and the minds of the people. They welcome Jesus as King, they celebrate His ministry.

He is the “blessed one who comes in the name of the Lord.� But Jesus for his part is opening a way into their world, into their lives and into ours. There are in fact two stories in this triumphant entry, one played out in the streets, and one played out in the temple later; both are about making way for

God. In the temple, Jesus encounters the ancient version of a religious supply store. Booths are set up to supply, for a price, everything a respectable Jew might need to worship and sacrifice to God properly.

There is haggling, trading, money changes hands, suitable coin to pay the temple tax, pure animals for an effective sacrifice.

It was, I am sure many thought, a convenience.

But here’s the rub. This shopping mall was set up in the outer temple court, in holy space, the space reserved for sincere Gentiles to come to worship the God of Israel.

The Temple was set up in concentric courts with the holy of holies at the center. Only the priest could go into the holy of holies and only when it was their turn.

The first court next to the center was the inner court where all the Jewish men came to worship.

The second court was where the Jewish women and I suppose children came to worship God. The third court was reserved for Gentiles who wish to come and worship the God of Israel. Not being Jews they could not worship in!

any of the court reserved for Jews.

It was here in the third court, the only place an outsider seeking a relationship with God could come, where the merchants had set up shop.

When Jesus came to clear the temple court, to drive out the merchants and reclaim the space, he was making a way for God and he was making a place for those outside of Judaism to worship God. He was clearing what was in fact space consecrated as worship. It would be like selling Starbucks at the sanctuary door. That is why he is so strong in pointing out that God’s house was a house of prayer for all nations. The merchants and their religious cohorts had turned the space into a commer-

cial enterprise, crowding out any would be worshippers with their wares.

Jesus is always making a way for God in the world, for God and His people to come together in worship, prayer and ministry. Jesus has made and is making a way for us to come to our God with grateful and
