between the hunting truck and the trailer, but he only has two routes of escape, so it’s kind of even there. It’s all a matter now of skill.”

“And Walter breaks out, dashes past the nose of the golf cart!”

“Mom’s right on him though. She’s wearing her game face. I think she’s going to be the winner today.”

“It ain’t over til it’s over, Ger, but I am leaning toward your side of the fence.”

“Speaking of fence, the gar-den seems to by complicating Walter’s plans. He’s heading for the big oak tree now – “

“—and Mom’s on him like a duck on a junebug.”

“If she can push him to-ward the porch, this game is over.”

“Walter’s a smart one, though. He’s played this game for years.”

“So has Mom, remember. She used to chase his mother when he was a pup.”

“And they’re going around the tree—“

“And back around the tree! The crowd’s going wild”

“And BACK around it again! It’s like Walter is stuck on a loop!”

“I think he’s playing with Mom, though. He has a few tricks left – as long as he doesn’t head for the porch – “

“And that’s just what he’s doing! He doesn’t stand a

chance!”“This is Walter we’re talk-

ing about. If anybody could get out of this one, it’s him!”

“Mom’s gaining on him –““There’s the reach –““Walter notices! He’s dou-

bling back! Mom’s going for the grab—will it be scruff or tail?”

“Mom’s going for the tail!”“Aaaaaaaand SHE GOT

HIM!”The door slammed, and

the cats returned to face the camera.

“Sports fans, that was one of the best competitions we’ve had in years. On totally new ground, with new tactics, but Mom won out in the end. Any final thoughts, Ger?”

“Henri, all I can say is Mom really rocks. Even wearing her

good clothes, she kept pace with him for a long way. Not a lot of humans can do that. I was impressed. The golf cart was a stroke of genius, and the deciding factor in the end. Take us on home, Gera-nium.”

“That’s all the time we have for now, sports fans, but we’ll be back later, when the title for heavyweight rabbit box-ing of the world goes on the line. And tune in tomorrow night for more action, as it’s the mini-donks competing for gold against the standards in coyote-kicking.”

“From all of us at Meadow-sweet Farms, good night.”

Town of Burgaw Government News

August 25, 2016

Dove season is upon us. The fields will be full of hunters spaced intermittently through-out. The skies will be blotted with fast moving birds looking for places to roost or feed.

In a continuing focus on safety, especially during a time when many young hunters, well, cut their teeth on not only hunting but participating in shooting sports, I think it is important to share some of the basics.

I have been asked many times on which firearm is the best for different types of hunts. If you were to poll each hunter as they entered the field on opening day, the over-whelming consensus would be the 12 gauge. However, it may not be the best choice.

There are other factors that need to be taken into account. For instance, the choke, the shot, the bird patterns all will determine the best setup for a particular hunt. Even the hunter’s technique will be important.

My dad is the best wing shooter I have ever witnessed. There is a reason for it. He is very patient during the hunt. If there is a bird that is bor-derline out of range, he simply does not shoot.

Think of a center in basket-ball. His odds of making a bas-ket at the rim are much higher than having him shoot three pointers. Dad simply waits for his shot. And by doing so his shot to kill ratio is much greater. He rarely needed more than a box of shells to get a limit during a hunt.

One of my favorite guns is an old Ithaca 20 gauge my granddad passed down to me. Papa used it to quail hunt back when he was young. The old side-by-side had a shortened barrel and an open choke. He made it that way so when the quail erupted from the brush the shot expanded quickly making a large hit area.

As I was learning how to hunt, that Ithaca was always with me. I was a decent shot,

but for some reason that I didn’t understand at the time, I had trouble bringing down birds with it. You see, I would shoot way too far for the range of that sawed-off double bar-rel.

A few years ago, my oldest son was going through the same issues. He handed me the shotgun and the next five birds that flew by were all dropped. My son was shooting too far ef-fectively opening up too large of a pattern to either hit the dove or place enough shot in the bird to bring it down. This is the same son who I watched shoot a perfect 25-for-25 in trap with a 12 gauge a couple years later.

Just as the choke of the shotgun can determine ef-ficiency, the size shot also matters in whether you walk away with a bird or not. The 7.5 shot is now a popular shot and is found readily in many box stores. I always preferred the nine shot. Why? Because there is more total shot in the nine even though the shot is smaller.

With my style of shooting, I am able to hit and bring down a bird easier with the smaller shot. Shooting long distance, which you see a lot during opening day of dove season,

especially if the birds are flying high, the larger shot is more effective though.

It is up to the hunter to determine what is the best fit. If you are patient enough to wait for the bird to be on top of you, the 20 gauge with as open a choke as possible is a fine choice. If you prefer to shoot, shoot, and shoot some more while stretching your distance, the 12 gauge with a tighter choke may work out best.

But that is part of the fun in hunting. Learning, shooting, understanding bird patterns as well as how your firearm and you work together all adds up to the complete expe-rience.

Just remember to keep that muzzle aimed in a safe direction.

man Brown commented that during the review he had to answer questions and offer explanations for the continu-ing unusual structure where the chairperson of the Pender County Board of Commission-ers also acted as the contact for the Pender Board of Health.

“I don’t think they find this

in many locations across the state,” said Brown. “It works for us, not many counties have the Board of Commis-sioners acting as the Board of Health. The people here to do the accreditation had many questions and I think between myself, Carolyn Moser and her staff we were well prepared and I think they were very pleased by the communication between the board, the county manager, the county attorney and the community.”

The accreditation will be in force for the next five years, starting in 2016.

Also the Pender County Women, Infants and Chil-dren’s program (WIC) was honored for being first of four counties out of 83 in the state that were selected as a winner of the Gold Level of Loving Support Award of Excellence. This award recognizes and celebrates the education and support services for the coun-ty breastfeeding program.

Pender County WIC is commit-ted to promoting and support-ing breastfeeding a priority as well as a core component of the nutrition services.

“We want to meet or exceed the mission of safeguarding the health of low- income women, infants and children, and we are proud of our con-tact with new mothers and ongoing efforts to support the families of our Pender com-munity.” said Moser.

points while the Lady Pirates ran off spurts of five once and four twice. A Selene Biele kill ended the night.

“We had some amazing service runs, especially in that second game when Kaylee served, and I’m very happy with the way we played de-fense,” Topsail Coach Hill Pearsall said. “We only had seven or eight hitting er-rors.”

Caroline Peterson led Pender with eight assists and an ace. Lakirah Forney and Kam Thompson each had

three kills.The Lady Pirates traveled

to Rocky Point on Wednesday and won 3-0 (25-11, 25-12, 25-15) over the Trasks. Topsail was in total command from the outset, breaking a 7-7 tie in the first game with a five-point surge – highlighted by a pair of aces from Selene Biele. That was followed with an eight-point run that opened a 20-8 advantage. Makenna Preville was on serve and provided the impetus with four aces. A kill by Anderson ended the game.

Game two was much the same. Topsail had runs of four, five twice, and seven while the Lady Titans’ lon-gest run was five points after

Topsail had secured an 18-8 advantage. Pearsall went to his bench in both of the first two games, and everyone got into game three.

The Pirates won by 10 in the third game but committed several unforced errors in al-lowing the Trask girls to hang around. A kill by Selene Biele sent everyone home.

Junior Taylor Dixon was one of the statistical leaders for Topsail with seven points, two kills, and 10 assists. Kyle had nine points, an ace, 11 as-sists, two kills, and nine digs, Preville had seven points, a kill, and 10 digs, Angelica Biele had six points, five kills, and five assists, Selene Biele had five points, four kills,

and five digs, and senior Lilli Herring added eight points and six digs.

“I think we played pretty good,” Herring said. “We got off to a tough start and I think that happens when you play a team that is not on your level. Losing two teammates before the season hurt some so it’ll take some time to jell all totally.”

Topsail traveled to Swans-boro on Saturday to participate in the fifth annual Swansboro Tournament and came away as champions. The Lady Pi-rates finished 8-2 and defeated Swansboro and East Duplin in the afternoon knock-down round to come home with the championship hardware

Lady PiratesContinued from page 8A

Sophomore B.J. Jordan had shown flashes of brilliance early in the game and the Ti-tans would lean on him in the final minutes.

Trask used just over a min-ute to score with Jordan car-rying the ball three times in the drive. He found the end zone with a nifty 35 yard run

around the left end to tie the contest. Fernando Aldama nailed the extra point and the Titans held a one point lead with 4:09 left to play.

The Pirates received the kickoff and moved the ball deep into the Titans territory. It appeared that the Pirates would give their kicker a chance at a short field goal. However, the Pirates made the mistake of attempting a pass. Senior defensive end Kansas Bannerman chased Floyd

down and sacked him for a 16-yard loss. The Pirates were forced to try a 47-yard field goal. The kick fell short and the Titans ran the clock out.

The Titans were led by B.J. Jordan on the offensive side of the ball. He rushed for 148 yards on just 15 carries in his varsity debut while Steven Jordan had 54 yards and a touchdown.

Defensively, Bannerman had two sacks while Steven Jordan had an interception.

The Pirates were led by Montano. He had 111 yards and a touchdown while Josh Smith added 68 yards.

The Titans ended a 10-year drought against the Pirates. According to Taylor, the win meant much more than that.

“This just solidifies what we’ve been telling them. The attitude is different this year. We’re committed as a team.”

The Titans will host South Robeson on Friday night while Topsail will travel to Pender.

age defeated Coastal Chris-tian’s Kerrigan Bahner 6-1, 6-0, and sophomore Casey Plaff upended Lady Centurion Nora Quinn 6-1, 6-2 at No. 4 singles.

The singles’ matches at No. 5 and No. 6 were declared for-feit wins for Topsail as Coastal Christian did not have enough players.

Harris and Dougherty won

at No. 1 doubles (8-2), and Beverage and Plaff came out on top in the No. 2 doubles po-sition (8-3). The third doubles was not contested and resulted in a forfeit win for the Lady Pirates.

Wednesday Topsail was not a gracious host as they defeated visiting Swansboro 6-3. Harris has yet to give up a game as she defeated Swansboro’s Grace Ann Potter 6-0, 6-0, and Dougherty beat Michaela Potter 6-2, 6-0 in the second-singles match.

Plaff won -6, 6-2 at No. 4 and Anna Duckworth prevailed 6-0, 6-2 at No. 6 but Beverage and Chely Pitt dropped match-es at No. 3 and No. 5 – Beverage falling 7-6, 3-6 (10-8) in a tough tiebreaker.

Harris and Dougherty won at No. 1 doubles (8-0) and Bev-erage came back and teamed with Plaff to win 8-3 at No. 2 doubles.

The Lady Pirates had a road rematch with Swansboro on Tuesday and play host to Coastal Christian Academy

on Monday (Aug. 29).Mens’ Soccer

The Pirates opened with a tough 4-1 loss to Coastal Chris-tian Academy. Junior Sam Bell scored Topsail’s only goal on a penalty kick, while Jorge Lopez (58 minutes, 5 saves, 3 goals) and Cheney Teague (23 minutes, 1 goal) shared time in the net.

The Pirates were home on Wednesday, facing county foe Trask. Topsail travels to Holly Ridge to face the Bulldogs of Dixon next Tuesday (Aug. 30)

ference play was important especially coming off a year like we had. These girls need to realize that they can play. It doesn’t matter how many times they get told until they go do it. It doesn’t sink in the same way.”

The Lady Patriots hosted Laney on Monday and Topsail on Tuesday.

PenderContinued from page 8A

But Pirate quarterback Jacob Floyd dropped back to pass, tried to make a play by avoid-ing the rush, and wound up getting sacked for a 16-yard loss.

That left Lopez with a 44-yard field goal attempt, and it fell about a foot short.

Trask ran out the clock from there.

“Jacob was told if a quick

pass wasn’t there just throw it away and he tried to

make something out of it and it didn’t pan out,” Inman said. “It was an option

play and with the cover-age they had we felt we had a shot at a touchdown. We never anticipated him trying to run.”

Trask actually had a chance to put distance between the two teams in the first half but had two touchdowns called back due to penalties. After successive bad snaps sailed over Topsail quarterback Ja-

cob Floyd’s head – the second resulting in a safety – Pirate Jorge Gonzalez kicked off from his own 20-yard line. Titan senior Steven Jordan gathered it in on his 22-yard line and raced 78 yards into the end zone for a potential touchdown. A yellow flag said otherwise, and a holding pen-alty nullified the score and another penalty for an illegal shift penalty cost the Titans a score. That drive ended with a fumble that gave Topsail on its own one-yard line.

“Next week we just have

to worry about ourselves and correct the mistakes and

not wor ry about what Pender does,” Inman said. “We’re the type of football team where we have to be disciplined, and if we’re not disciplined we’re not capable of chasing people down.”

Ecological Marine Adven-tures is a great way to get your children involved in learning and exploring our marine world. EMA provides an en-vironment that encourages fun, friendship and the devel-opment of a lifelong love of learning. From Sept. 12 to Dec. 16, 2016 we will host Toddler Science Classes, Homeschool Science Classes, Afterschool Science Adventures and Free Community Science Classes weekly at 116 South Topsail Drive, our new location in Surf City.

These are great options to expand upon a child’s tra-ditional school curriculum. Children will have the op-portunity to explore the out-doors in both local beaches and marshes while learning about our amazing ocean area through hands-on activities, experiments, collection obser-vation and adventure!

This fall EMA invites chil-dren ages five to 12 to Home-school Science Classes, ages three to five for Toddler Sci-ence Classes, ages five to 12 to

Afterschool Science Classes and all ages to our Free Com-munity Science Classes.

Get excited as we learn and explore the ocean world from the Euphotic Zone, or sunlight zone, all the way down to the Abyssal Zone, or ocean floor and the mysterious trenches below. The weekly learning themes are designed to maxi-mize learning and adventure leaving students eager to learn more. In addition to study-ing oceans, EMA will cover marine food webs and photo-synthesis before diving deeper into the study. Students will learn about marine mammals such as whales and dolphins, apex predators such as sharks and the strange, mysterious creatures of the dark zones of the ocean like squids, jellyfish and anglerfish.

Students will descend to the ocean floor to study hydrother-mal vents and unique habitats. It doesn’t end there – they will also explore sampling methods used in different ocean zones such as SCUBA, ROV, AUV and submarines. During this excit-

ing session of classes, samples are collected, identified and studied through microscopes, and finding are recorded, dia-grams created along with and art projects and experiments.
