After four weeks of gallivanting through

the streets of Florence and seeing some

of the most beautiful architecture and

art in the world, I knew I wouldn’t be too

heartbroken for long. Although my amaz-

ing study abroad program was drawing to

a close I had a seven-day cruise around

the Mediterranean in store for me directly

after.

The best part was being able to get off

of the train in Rome after a hectic and

stressful day of traveling and be greeted

by the loving faces of my family in the

Roma Termini train station. There is

nothing like seeing some familiar faces

after a day of traveling around in a foreign

country in which you can only squeeze out

about three words of the native language—

okay maybe five.

After sightseeing around Rome and of course being sure to take some touristy pictures with the Coliseum, The Spanish Steps, and the Trevi Fountain, we were off to the port in Civitavecchia to embark on our glorious seven-day cruise on the same waters that once were home to merchants and travelers of some of the most ancient civilizations in history.

The first place we ventured down to was Messina, Sicily, arguable one of the most beautiful and charming places in Italy—even if it’s known for its notorious Mafia-linked roots. We took a short scenic drive through the rolling green countryside to a vineyard and delighted in some of the most delicious wine I have ever had.

After the wine tasting we went down to the quaint village of Taormina. This little village was full of medieval charm and

The Rev. Kelly Lyn Logue was welcomed as a new pastor on Sunday at Holly Springs United Methodist Church,108 Avent Ferry Road, Holly Springs. The Rev. Horace Fer-guson led the congregation for 23 years and recently retired.

She has served as one of the pastors at White Plains United Methodist Church in Cary for the past seven years. Her previ-ous pastoral appointments include Warsaw UMC and St. Paul UMC in Goldsboro, NC.

Rev. Logue studied at Union College in Barbourville, KY, a United Methodist liberal arts college in the mountains, double major-ing in music and religion. After graduating from college, she began full-time youth min-istry at First UMC in Ashland, KY. In 1996, she moved to North Carolina to attend Duke

Divinity School. While a student at Duke, she served for a year as a ministerial intern

at Pleasant Green UMC in Durham and then more than three years as the youth minister at Aldersgate UMC in Durham.

She has been a writing contributor to The Christian Century magazine and to Homily Service. Rev. Logue said, “I’ve been honored to

serve as preceptor for worship practicum classes at Duke Divinity School in the Intro-duction to Christian Worship course. I am a mentor for candidates for ordained ministry and a member of the Raleigh District Board of Ordained Ministry. I also serve the larger

church through The General Board of Dis-cipleship of The United Methodist Church as a CORE developer for The Open Source Liturgy Project and by being called upon to lead District and Conference workshops on worship. I have led international mis-sion teams to Costa Rica and Jamaica. I’ve also led multiple domestic mission teams through Appalachian Service Project, ReC-reation Experiences, Harvest of Hope, and others.”

character with an incredible view of jagged cliffs jutting over piercing blue water. As we walked through the village the sweet melody of men strumming on Italian guitars and playing accordi-ons filled our ears.

Next we wandered through a bed of hardened molten lava rock that sat at the foot of Mt. Etna, the largest active volcano in Eu-rope.

Our second port of call was in Valetta, Malta a small island situated between Italy and Africa. When we woke up and looked outside our balcony window on the ship, it looked more like we were in a beautiful middle-eastern country with its massive for-tifications and tan Baroque-style architecture. We were actually supposed to be in Athens, Greece this day but unfortunately it was deemed too unsafe to visit due to the rioting and political turmoil

currently going on.We got off the ship that

morning and began explor-ing the beautiful island of Malta—a hidden treasure that was once part of the Roman Empire and also played a significant role in Roman Christian history.

We got to visit Marsax-lokk, a small fishing village in the south-eastern coast of Malta. Everywhere you looked in the port you spot-ted colorful little gondola boats with fisherman of all ages preparing for a day of fishing. The boats were called Luzzus, a type of gondola boat we learned was used by fishermen to capture lampuki, a Mediter-ranean fish.

Next we ventured over to a majestic Blue Grotto, a number of sea caverns on the southern coast of Malta, west of the Wied iz-urrieq harbor near the village of ur-rieq. The view we had of the Blue Grotto was absolutely breath taking and looked like something you would see on a postcard.

The next port of call was to Kusadasi Turkey, which easily might be one of the most intriguing places I

have ever visited. The strik-ing coast of Turkey gives those of the Bahamas and Capri a run for their money. When we got off the boat we headed straight to the Turkish Bazaar’s that were filled with the most beauti-ful hand-woven purses and linens, handmade jewelry, and countless other Turkish delights.

After being consumed by the never-ending treasures of the Turkish Bazaars we had the opportunity to go to a Turkish “carpet show,” in which we got to see some of the most ornate and beauti-ful hand-woven carpets in the entire world.

The men would drop the carpets abruptly on the floor so that they rolled perfectly to the toes on your feet. When the carpet show came to a close we were taken back when a group of 10 men in business suits flooded the room and earnestly tried to make a sale on the exquisite carpets before us. Between the grandiose carpets and the never-ending silk linens draped throughout the Turk-ish Bazaars, I felt as if I had stepped into a magical scene from Arabian Nights.

Our last stop was to the beautiful island of Crete—which surpasses any island I have ever been to. It is lo-cated in the southern part of the Aegean Sea separating the Aegean from the Libyan Sea. After docking in Cha-nia, we decided to spend our entire day lounging on the beaches of Crete, with our toes nestled into the warm sand and our eyes fixated on the enthralling landscape.

Feeling a little adventur-ous, we moseyed on down to a cave we saw hiding into the rock at one of the corners of the island. After exploring the cave we took a moment to stop and take in the smell of the salty breeze mixed with the intoxicating views of the aquamarine water.

There couldn’t have been a more perfect destination to end our luxurious excur-sion across the Mediterra-nean Sea than the island of Crete.

Blue Grotto Sea Caverns, Malta.

Computer equipment and televisions will be banned from disposal in North Carolina land-fills as of July 1, following a law passed last year by the General Assembly.

Session Law 2010-67 bans from landfill disposal computer equipment, which includes lap-tops, desktops, monitors, print-ers, scanners and peripherals such as mice and keyboards. Other components of the law are designed to create recycling opportunities for discarded elec-tronics across the state and to place significant responsibilities on electronics manufacturers to help fund and create those op-portunities.

Citizens and businesses have a variety of options for recycling electronics in North Carolina. Most counties offer collection programs and more community programs are emerging. All computer manufacturers are re-quired to offer at least free mail-back for their own equipment, and some offer additional kinds

of recycling options. A number of retailers also offer recycling of electronics, as do some non-profit and charitable agencies. A comprehensive list of recycling options can be found at www.p2pays.org/electronics/.

The disposal ban helps divert highly usable materials to a grow-ing electronics recycling industry in the state. North Carolina is

home to a number of major na-tional and regional electronics processors with investments of plants and equipment exceeding $50 million that employ more than 300 North Carolinians.

“By capturing valuable materi-als for reuse and reducing our de-pendence on landfills, electronics recycling can help us achieve both our environmental and eco-

nomic development goals,” said Secretary Dee Freeman of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. “I encourage all North Carolinians to join in this effort to make the electron-ics disposal ban a success.”

Computer equipment and tele-visions join a list of other mate-rials banned from disposal in North Carolina, including most recently plastic bottles, wooden pallets and oil filters. These bans have resulted in increased recy-cling of the materials and have helped spur further growth in the state’s recycling economy. As with previous similar measures, enforcement of the electronics disposal ban will focus on dis-posal facilities such as landfills and transfer stations.

For details on Session Law 2010-67, please visit portal.ncdenr.org/web/wm/sw/elec-tronics, or contact Scott Mouw with the Division of Environmen-tal Assistance and Outreach at [email protected] or 919-715-6512.

e h a v e changed.

M o r e urban. Less

rural and farming.At least that is what

the latest Census is tell-ing us.

But the story is more complicated. It is more interesting, too. Out in the formerly all-rural counties of our state, new kinds of residents have moved in. But lots of the old-time residents are still there.

How do fifth-gener-ation farming families inter-act with back-t o - t h e - l a n d n e w c o m e r s , s u b u r b a n i t e encroachers , and retirement community res-idents?

The census does not give us the answer.

Maybe the answer can be found best in fiction.

C h a t h a m C o u n t y ’ s award-winning writer Marjorie Hudson has given it a try in a new book of short stories, “Accidental Birds of the Carolinas: Stories about newcomers and natives, and the healing power of the rural South.”

Hudson sets her sto-ries in a fictional Ambler County, which is much like her own Chatham County. Like Chatham, Ambler is rural by tra-dition, but growth from nearby cities is expand-ing across the county lines. At the same time, idealistic young people from all over the country are still moving to rural Ambler to try their hands at living on the land and off the grid. The natives and the “accidental” newcomers are charac-ters who move through Hudson’s stories.

In “The Clearing,” a woman running away from a broken relation-ship moves into an old farmhouse in bad repair. When the pipes freeze, a crusty local plumber named Whiskey Collins fixes them. Before you know, he is fixing every-thing for her. They may be an unlikely pair, but when they wind up mak-ing love in the water of a spring hole, neither seems to care that they might not be meant for each other.

In “Rapture,” an old-timer named Sarton Lee and his wife, Miss Irma, had a daughter Trudy, who was a mess. When she died of a drug over-dose, Sarton and Irma were left to raise Trudy’s daughter, Nancy. They love her. Then she falls sick, and, as Sarton says, “The good Lord in his wisdom dragged it out for a full year, that son of a bitch.” There is much more to the story but, quoting Sarton again, “You are never so alone as when a child dies.”

“The High Life” is the

story of Dip, a 15-year-old runaway, who is working at a carnival that has stopped in town. He helps Royal, a hard-core carnival man, who, ugly and dirty as he is, still is a great seducer. Dip has a hard time adjusting to his new life and ulti-mately runs away again.

Nina is married to a mentally ravaged-by-war soldier who turns his wrath on her. A voice tells her to leave. Driving through North Carolina, she sees a sign, “Provi-

dence,” which gives the story its title. She stops, finds an old house to rent for $50 a month, and settles in.

In “Home,” a y o u n g woman mar-ries Carter, who lives on a farm. Carter’s son from his first marriage loves the farm where he, his mom, and Carter, once

lived. The new wife’s marriage is haunted by her thoughts of Carter’s first family’s life on the farm where she now lives.

In the title story, a retired Army colonel trying to get used to sub-division life in Ambler County loses his wife unexpectedly. He finds himself ill equipped to deal with his new cir-cumstances.

“The Outside World,” really a novella, tracks the marriage of a stu-dent at Chapel Hill who falls in love with her professor. She follows him to a farm in Ambler County, where he tries to replicate the experi-ence of Henry Thoreau, resulting in special chal-lenges to their lives and marriage.

Sometimes fiction is the best way to tell the truth.

This time, Marjorie Hudson’s fiction does the job.

D.G. Martin hosts UNC-TV’s “North Caro-lina Bookwatch,” which airs Fridays at 9:30 p.m. and Sundays at 5 p.m. For more information or to view prior programs visit the webpage at www.unctv.org/ncbookwatch.

This week’s (Friday, July 15, and Sunday, July 17) guest is John Hart, author of “Iron House.”

A year or two ago, when John Hart told us about “The Lost Child” he said it was the best book he’d written so we shouldn’t have been surprised when it won for him a second Edgar Award for the best mys-tery novel of the year. Now he has a new book that he says is even bet-ter yet. Hard to believe, perhaps, but the early signs tell us that “Iron House” is going to be an-other John Hart success story.

am typically not a big Harris Tee-ter shopper, but I have to admit that I am addicted to their e-VIC program. For those who are not

familiar with the Harris Teeter e-VIC program let me explain the difference the difference between the store’s e-VIC program versus their typical VIC card program.

I have been a Harris Teeter VIC card holder for years. With the VIC card I re-ceive my little red plastic card that I can receive discounts throughout the stores.

During the last year I have taken my VIC card membership one step further and signed up for the e-VIC program. All you have to do to become an e-Vic mem-ber is to go to the Harris Teeter website and fill out a simple form.

With the e-VIC program, customers will be able to receive weekly e-mail notifications when items that they typi-cally buy go on sale. I typically receive an email on Tuesday notifying me of their weekly specials and then on Friday night with their special e-VIC item of the week. E-VIC members receive further

discounts than regular VIC card hold-ers, are able to make an online shopping list and are entered into various sweep-

stakes in the store.I love their e-VIC

items of the week. I have received a 12-pack of Coca Cola products for under $2, eggs for 66 cents, a box of Capri Suns drinks for under a $1 and milk for over a dol-lar less than what I typically pay at any other given store. With the e-VIC pro-gram you do not have to have cou-pons, but you just swipe your VIC card and it takes your discounts au-

tomatically off at the register. However, you can add coupons to these discounts and save even more!

I also remind shoppers not to forget the store’s double coupon policy. Harris Teeter doubles up to 20 coupons a day with a VIC card. Store officials will allow shoppers to double coupons up to three identical items with manufacturer cou-pons. According to the store’s website, additional coupons for like item will be honored at face value.

“We double manufacturer’s coupons up to face value of $0.99; with total amount not to exceed $1.98 or entire retail of item; whichever is less,” the company’s website says.

While the store does accept competi-tor’s coupons, they do not double or tri-ple their competitor’s coupons. To learn more about the store’s coupon policy and how you can be an e-VIC member, I would encourage you to check out the store’s website.

the players, you may not realize just how much a baseball team can teach you about other aspects of life — such as investing.

Specifically, consider the following characteristics:

• Consistency — Baseball teams need to be consistent. They choose quality players and must have the patience and discipline to stick with those play-ers during slumps. As an investor, you should choose quality investments and have the patience and discipline to stick with them over the long haul.

• Diversification — A baseball team doesn’t have just one type of player — it contains pitchers, catchers, infield-ers and outfielders. Your portfolio also needs to be diversified because if you own only a single type of invest-ment, and a market downturn strikes that asset class particularly hard, your portfolio could take a big hit. Owning a diversified mix of stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposit (CDs) and other investments can help reduce the effect of market volatility on your holdings. Keep in

mind, though, that diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee a profit or pro-tect against loss.

• Unity — While a baseball team con-tains a diverse collection of players, they all strive toward a common goal. And the mix of investments in your

portfolio needs to work together to help achieve the various goals you’ve estab-lished, such as a comfortable re-tirement, college for your children and a legacy for your family. To work toward your individual objec-tives, you will need to create an investment mix that’s based on your risk toler-ance, time hori-

zon, family situation and other factors.• Flexibility — While every member

of a professional baseball team is a good player, one might be better than another in a given situation. For in-stance, a faster runner might pinch-run for someone else. And as you move on

in your “game” of life, you will need flexibility in making your investment decisions. As one example, when you near retirement, you may want to re-duce your exposure to risk somewhat, so you might decide to replace some — but certainly not all — of your growth-oriented vehicles with investments that can offer greater protection of your principal.

• Good management — Even the best group of baseball players needs a manager to guide them and make deci-sions during a ballgame. And to help you make investment choices during different times in your life, you might benefit from working with a financial professional — someone who knows your risk tolerance, investment prefer-ences and long-term aspirations.

You may never find yourself sur-rounded by the greatest ballplayers in the world — but remembering these traits can help keep your portfolio “in the game.”

was standing near the cash register at a local convenience store the other day, chatting with a for-

mer employee at the store who had stopped by for a quick visit. I talked with her briefly about her new job as a truck driver, then I walked out the front door. I had taken only a few steps when I heard her voice be-hind me. “Hey,” she yelled. “You sure do look good.” A wave of pride surged through my body. “Finally,” I thought to myself. “After all the workouts I’ve been doing lately, someone is giv-

ing me a compliment.I spun around, flashed

a big smile, and replied, “Well, thank you.”

That’s when I realized I had made a major mistake.

You see, she was actually speaking to another gen-tleman who was walking toward the store.

I can’t remember

the last time I had been so humiliated. I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks and beads of sweat pop-ping up on my forehead. I quickly scanned the parking lot for a place to hide, but there was nowhere to go. I had parked near the back of the lot and I was still at least 100 feet from my car. I in-creased my speed to a slow jog and headed straight for

my driver’s door. When I finally reach my car, if my driver’s window had been opened, I would have dived through it. I hadn’t been back to the store since.

The next day, I was lean-ing back in my recliner, watching TV and thinking about the embarrassing in-cident at the store. As I sat there, reliving the scene over and over in my brain, I came to the conclusion that the entire scene at the store could have been directly re-lated to my new workout regimen. If I had not been pushing my body so hard in my fitness routine, I would not have been under the false impression that I had tuned my muscles and abs into a masterpiece, worthy of much praise and admira-tion. Before I started the intense workouts, I would have just assumed I wasn’t the object of the lady’s com-

pliment that day.Truthfully, I’m thrilled I

decided to quit working out. My new workout was about to take me out. I don’t know which is worse for you, high cholesterol or a couple of ruptured tendons. I’m 47 years old now and my old limbs can’t handle a lot of pounding. I was pushing my-self to the extreme, trying to shed the extra weight. Once, I even tried to wear ankle weights while I was running on the treadmill. It took my calf muscles more than two weeks to recover from that workout. My legs were so sore I couldn’t even push the gas pedal in my car without grimacing in pain. I didn’t even attempt to climb any steps. I figured that there was no need to torture myself any further.

Now, that I’ve given up on exercise I’ll guess I’ll have to find some other way to fill my spare time. Maybe I can play more golf. After all, a round of golf isn‘t ex-ercise. It’s just like a pleas-ant stroll through a lush garden. Besides, at least I don’t have to worry about anybody paying me a com-pliment, and embarrassing myself again by responding to their praise, while I’m on the golf course. Believe me, nobody has ever had anything good to say about my golf game.

The the move into the new Hunt Community Center is finishing up and preparations are under way to open in early July.

The town thanks the public for their patience during the transition from the old building to the new one.

When you visit, you’ll agree the wait was worth it.

The project provides more and better space and equipment for after-school, track-out, summer camp and fitness pro-

grams.The new fitness facility

will be about four times larger. The center has an elevated track that is 1/12 of a mile around.

A new community room with catering kitchen and seating for about 100 will be available for reserva-tion.

Work continues at the site. The old building will be demolished for a park-ing lot.

The entire Hunt Center project should be com-plete by early fall.

Hunt Center project set for fall completion

By Ed NeeringH S R E

With the recent Independence Day in the United States, it seems a good time to think about freedom a little bit. Freedom is one of those things that people who don’t have it, long for it, and people who do have it sometimes take for granted.

There was an article online last week about the relationship between money and happiness, a topic that is widely written about. The main point of the article is that money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy something that leads to happiness.

That something is freedom.The phrase “financial indepen-

dence” is one we hear a lot, but most people probably hear it and think it’s just another way of saying that some-one is rich. But I think of financial in-dependence a bit differently. Having money doesn’t necessarily mean hav-ing financial freedom. For example, you could have a large income from a job but not be financially free. If you are dependent on that job, you are not free. Even if you own your own business, which you might think allows for more freedom, you aren’t free if you spend all your time work-ing in your business.

I think true financial freedom is being able to decide when to work and not work. I think it means being able to control your life. I think that the wealthiest people in our society would agree that the most precious thing we have on this earth is time. Accumulating wealth so that you can spend your time EXACTLY as you want to, that is financial freedom. Money can buy fancy homes and nice cars, boats and other toys, but those really aren’t the things that make people truly happy.

In the article I read last week, it mentioned a study done by two psy-chologists in New Zealand, who dis-covered that freedom is significantly more important to people’s well being than money. The study cov-ered 42 different nations, which were measured on a scale of happiness and wealth.

The wealthier countries, the study found, were not necessarily the hap-piest. The happiest were the ones where people had the most autonomy – control over their own lives. From the article:

“Countries scoring high in auton-omy had less stress, less burnout, less mental health problems and so on,” says Fischer. “We were sur-prised by the very strong, consistent

effect of autonomy. There’s lots of evidence that wealth would be a pre-dictor of well-being in large popula-tion samples, so we were surprised to find that once we account for na-tional indicators of autonomy and in-dividualism, money isn’t as important anymore.”

In other words, wealth may influ-ence well-being only through its ef-fect on freedom: More money gives you more control over your life and your choices, which makes you hap-pier.”

This finding isn’t surprising to me. You can be wealthy and miserable, just like you can be poorer and rela-tively happy. It’s not about your in-come level, it’s about how well your financial position puts you in a posi-tion of control.

It’s important to think about how free you are from time to time. If something came up, like a medical condition or an opportunity to stay at home with your children instead of working, could you do it? Could you walk away from your job? Could you do something else that freed up your time?

So right around this Independence Day, try to take a minute and think about how free you are. Freedom, more than money, is what counts.

The Holly Springs Rotary Club

announced the installation of its

new leadership team effective July

1. Christine Quante was installed

as the new Club President, replac-

ing the 2010-2011 President Mark

Shank. The transition took place at

a dinner and celebration event held

June 22 at Devils Ridge Golf Club.

At the same event, Holly Springs

resident Robert Williams was pre-

sented with the coveted Rotarian

of the Year award by outgoing

President Shank. Special guests

at the event included Interact Club

Faculty Advisor Lisa Lamb and

members of her family. The Inter-

act Club is a high school civic sup-

port organization sponsored by the

HS Rotary Club.

Rotary is an international orga-

nization with 34,000 clubs and 1.3

million members worldwide. Ro-

tary members engage in humani-

tarian activities having both local

and global scope. The signature

project for Rotary worldwide has

been the eradication of polio.

Over the past 25 years, the inci-

dence of polio has gone from some

350,000 new cases per year to, re-cently, just a few thousand cases in remote areas. Rotary financial sup-port and Rotary volunteers have been widely credited with taming this once endemic disease. Polio is easily transmitted, and can cripple or kill its victims. Its virulence makes it imperative to completely eradicate this disease to prevent its recurrence.

The Kohl’s Department Stores’ Cares® Schol-arship Program honors more than 200 deserving volunteers with $1,000 scholarships toward post-secondary education. A local student from Holly Springs was chosen from more than 37,000 nomi-nees nationwide for mak-ing a positive impact on their community. Through the Kohl’s Cares Scholar-ship Program, Kohl’s is assisting deserving youth pursue a college education at a time when 55 percent of bachelor’s degree re-cipients at public colleges borrow money and are finding education increas-ingly difficult to afford.

“Kohl’s has rewarded thousands of amazing kids

through the Kohl’s Cares Scholarship Program and this year alone, we are recognizing nearly 2,200 stand out youth who are making a difference with their volunteer time,” said Julie Gardner, Kohl’s ex-ecutive vice president and chief marketing officer. “From feeding the home-less at a local shelter, col-lecting goods for the less fortunate or volunteering time at a community gar-den, these kids are making a huge impact on commu-nities nationwide. We are inspired by their stories and are thrilled to recog-nize their service.”

A local recipient of the $1,000 scholarship is Danielle Richer of Holly Springs, N.C. Danielle

built a sensory garden with an educational com-ponent in a local county park. She is legally blind due to a meningitis virus at age 11. She built two planter boxes and planted well over 100 plants. She also built six sensory boxes and made

clues to go with each box so that children can guess what is in the box prior to opening it. Dani-elle held a grand opening event that was attended by more than 75 people. The new garden is being used by park rangers to teach

preschool and younger children about the impor-tance of the environment.

Winners are chosen based on initiative, creativ-ity, leadership and gener-osity. Each regional-level winner qualifies for one of Kohl’s 10 national schol-arships, which will be an-nounced at the end of July. National winners will each receive a total of $10,000 in scholarships and Kohl’s will donate $1,000 to a nonprofit organization on each national winner’s be-half. In total, Kohl’s will recognize nearly 2,200 awardees with nearly $420,000 in scholarships and prizes.

Since the program began in 2001, Kohl’s has awarded more than 13,000 youth volunteers with more than $2.6 million in scholarships and prizes. The Kohl’s Cares Schol-arship Program is part of Kohl’s Caresâ, Kohl’s philanthropic program fo-cused on improving the lives of children.

Kohl’s Cares benefits children’s health and education initiatives na-tionwide through its merchandise program, featuring special books and plush toys where 100 percent of net profit ben-efits children’s initiatives, fundraising gift cards and the Associates in Action associate volunteer pro-gram.

8A JULY 14, 2011

Fresh blueberries are one of summer’s sweet treasures. These deep blue-violet gems are every bit of pure enjoyment. There’s no peeling, pitting or waste! To make the most of this glorious fruit, place them in a plastic container and refrigerate as soon as pos-sible. Blueber-ries are not as perishable as other berries. They’ll keep about a week if handled prop-erly. And don’t wash them until you are ready to use them.

To freeze fresh blueber-ries, lay on a cookie sheet and freeze. Then place in freezer bags or containers. No need to wash them before hand, as this can toughen their skin.

If purchasing blueber-ries, you probably know they do not ripen further after they’ve been picked. However, I have some blueberry bushes that have berries ripe on the top, but not on the bottom. Know-ing that I’d be away from them for awhile, I did not want them to be wasted. So I picked the ones not fully ripe and sure enough, in a few days they ripened beau-tifully!

We invite you to pre-pare and sample a collec-tion of sweet and savory ways to enjoy this winning fruit while it’s fresh. You’ll probably be tempted to go ahead and freeze some batches for later in the sea-son.

Blueberry Ice Cream2 c. blueberries1/8 t. salt¾ c. sugar1 c. milk1 ½ c. heavy whipping

cream

Place blueberries, salt and sugar in pan over medium heat. Mash ber-ries with a fork or potato masher while they are heating. Bring mixture to a boil, and then simmer for 5 minutes. Allow to cool. Add milk and puree in blender. Using a sieve, strain the mixture pressing the solids against the side. Discard solids left in the sieve.

Add the whipping cream to the blueberry and milk mixture. Place in refrigera-tor to cool for at least two hours or up to one day. Pour cooled mixture into ice cream maker to make ice cream.

Note: This recipe makes approximately a quart. Triple the recipe to make enough to fill a Rival Ice Cream maker. Using lower fat milk products will result in soft ice cream.

Tyler Weston makes Dean’s List

By Mary Lahr CainC P E

Homeschooling. Until recently, the most I knew about homeschool-ing was that it was something that I would never attempt, knowing myself and the personality of my children. But for many in Johnston County, and North Carolina, it will become a reality. In 2009/2010, the number of families that filed intent to home school was 7,297, a 1486% increase since 1987 when NC Department of Administration statistics became available. That number is most likely going to in-crease.

North Carolina defines a home school as a non-public school in which the student receives aca-demic instruction from his/her par-ent, legal guardian, or a member of the household in which the student resides.

Although families had undoubt-edly homeschooled for years prior, it wasn’t until 1985 that the move-ment gained legal standing. That year, a Harnett County resident, Larry Delconte, challenged the State of NC in a case ultimately heard by the Supreme Court, argu-ing that home instruction should not be prohibited by NC compul-sory school attendance statutes.

Mr. Delconte and his wife had homeschooled their children in their native New Jersey but found themselves in conflict with the law after moving to North Carolina and not registering their children for public school. The Supreme Court ruled that Delconte was not in vio-lation of the statute.

In 1988, the NC General Assem-bly amended Article 39 of chap-ter 155C of the General Statutes to allow home instruction, under certain conditions, as a means of complying with compulsory school attendance requirements. It’s in-teresting to note that home schools fulfill the qualification of nonpublic schools requirement in that they receive no funding from the state of NC, a fact that gave the Delcon-te’s argument legal standing in the eyes of the Supreme Court.

Today, families can readily find the requirements to home school through the NC Department of Department of Administration’s Division of Non-Public Education (www.ncdnpe.org). I was surprised to see that the process is simple and not bogged down in paper-work.

If a parent living in NC would like to home school (children must be at least age 7 but not yet age 16), they must have a high school

diploma (or its equivalent) and they must send a Notice of Intent to Operate a Home School to the Division of Non-Public Education. There are other requirements, in-cluding decisions to operate as a religious or non-religious school, operating on a regular schedule, maintaining immunization and attendance records and adminis-

tering a nationally standardized achievement test to each student.

After talking with Julie Stein-acker, President of Johnston County Home Educators of North Carolina (or JCHE), the process of opening the home school is not the hurtle, it’s the decision to do it.

“Families decide to home school for a variety of reasons,” says Steinacker. Often it is for religious reasons where the curriculum mandated by the state does to fit in with their religious beliefs (evo-lution, for instance). Another rea-son could be the personality and learning style of the child. Some children obviously do not fit into a traditional classroom setting. Peer influence and the amount of bul-lying and violence that occur can sometimes be a factor.

What about cost? That varies as well. Curriculum choices often drive the cost with that making up the bulk of the expenses. Whether a family buys new, used, or bor-rows from friends affect the bottom line. Families also have a choice of joining support groups such as co-ops or JCHE, whose purpose is to encourage, support and strengthen home school families in and around Johnston County.

According to a study done in 1997, the average cost for home-

schoolers at the time was $546. Even when you factor in a rise in the cost of living in the past 14 years, that amount is perceived as accurate and manageable.

To help families wrap their arms around all the facts and focus on the decision to home school, JCHE holds an annual conference and book fair in July. This year’s event will be held July 9 at Wilson’s Mills Baptist Church in Smithfield. “The purpose of the book fair and confer-ence is to encourage and educate the homeschooling community,” said Steinacker. That community would include anyone considering homeschooling for the first time.

The event is free to the public and you do not have to be a regis-tered member of JCHE to attend. Curriculum is available for review and purchase and they offer nu-merous workshops for attendees. A complete listing of available workshops and information about the event is located on the JCHE website: www.jchenc.org.

According the NC Department of Administration, there were 43,316 registered home schools in North Carolina in 2009-2010, serving an estimated 81,509 students. The Division of Non-Public Education is now taking letters of intent for the July 1 – June 30 academic year.

12A - Holly Springs Sun, Thursday, July 14, 2011

I’m often amazed at how many hunters don’t realize just how much hunting land is open for public hunt-ing in North Carolina. During each summer thousands of Tar Heel hunters begin to look around for a hunting club to join and com-pletely ignore the fact that the North Caro-lina Wildlife Resources Commission and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (and other gov-ernmental agencies) offer over two million acres of land to hunt-ers across the state of North Carolina.

While outdoorsmen pride them-selves on the fact that we own these lands that were purchased and maintained through the taxes we pay on our outdoor equipment and the licenses we buy for the privilege of using these lands, there may be a small additional “user fee” attached to those of us who choose to hunt and fish on our public hunting and fish-ing properties. When I see the private hunting clubs that charge their members high dollars for the yearly dues to hunt there, these user fees that our government charges hunters seems really small by comparison.

It’s unfortunate that some anti-hunting organizations have cho-sen to complain that our wildlife refuges allow hunting on them. For the most part these people have paid very little toward these lands we hunters paid for. The wildlife management very defi-nitely allows sport hunting as a tool to manage this resource and is very useful to hold wildlife popu-lations that tend to become over abundant under control.

A good example of how the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service used hunting as a tool to control wild-

life that has become overabundant is their proposal to open the Cur-

rituck National Wildlife Refuge to whitetail deer and feral hog hunting this year.

The whitetail deer population on the Cur-rituck NWR has become over abundant as has the population of the feral (domestic hogs gone wild) hogs. In order to bring the numbers of these animals into a more desirable level the USFWS is proposing to allow properly licensed and permitted hunters to kill some of these feral hogs and whitetail deer.

Hunting, within specified lim-its, is permitted on more than 300 national wildlife refuges. Fishing is permitted on more than 270 national wildlife refuges. Other wildlife-dependent recreation on national wildlife refuges includes wildlife photography, environmen-tal education, wildlife observation and interpretation. Notice of the proposal was published in the Fed-eral Register on July 5, 2011; the public has until August 4, 2011, to provide comments. To comment on the proposed hunting rule changes, please visit http://frweb-gate1.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/PD-Fgate.cgi?WAISdocID=o3Y9mC/1/2/0&WAISaction=retrieve.

The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats for the con-tinuing benefit of the American people.

Tucked away on the Outer Banks in the far northeastern corner of North Carolina the Currituck NWR consists of six seperate units all located between Corolla, N.C., and the North Caro-lina/Virgina stateline. To access the refuge, follow NC Route 12

north until it ends in Corolla. At this point all traffic is diverted to the beach (four-wheel drive is required). The first refuge tract is located about 3/4-mile north of this point. Currituck NWR is man-aged by the staff at Mackay Island NWR, therefore, no building or other facilities exist on the refuge.

Mammals inhabiting the refuge include white-tailed deer, rac-coons, muskrats, minks, fox and opossum. Feral hogs, feral horses and nutria (a large, non-native aquatic rodent) make the refuge their home. Several crab species can be seen along the shorelines of the beach and sound. Some of the rare and endangered species found on the refuge include the peregrine falcon, bald eagle, pip-ing plover, loggerhead sea turtle and seabeach amaranth. Fortu-nately, as of this time, there are no red wolves to be found on the Currituck NWR.

Hunting waterfowl has been al-lowed on the Currituck NWR for years and the permitting of these hunts is administered by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. If the proposed deer and hog hunting should be approved these hunts would be

administered by the staff at the Mackay National Wildlife Refuge instead of the NCWRC.

Last week the N.C. Wildlife re-sources Commission published a very excellent booklet listing the Permit Hunting Opportunities in North Carolina. On page 26 of this booklet the waterfowl hunting rules on the Currituck NWR are listed. The booklet list directions on how to apply for these water-fowl hunts only. If the deer and hog hunts are approved in time for this upcoming hunting season then the hunt application proce-dures be through the USFWS a the Mackay NWR.

The waterfowl hunting on Cur-rituck Sound and the surrounding land is world-famous. The duck and goose hunting gained world fame in the 1800s as waterfowl hunters from “Up-north” flocked to the lavish hunting clubs that had become established along the coast of North Carolina. This hunt-ing heritage has been preserved to this day and is well illustrated by the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education. The center is located in Currituck Heritage Park on Highway 12 in Corolla, next to Currituck Beach.

The Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education is currently showing the waterfowl decoy col-lection of Krogie Andresen, noted

Carolina decoy collector and au-thor of the book “Gunnin’ Birds.” Me. Andresen has provided on permanent loan to the Outer

Banks Center for Wildlife Educa-tion an exhibit of swan and goose decoys, hunting equipment, head

patterns and tools that belonged to James R. Best (1866-1933) of Kitty Hawk.

James B. Best is thought by

many to be the most talented decoy carver from North Carolina

and his work is sought after by col-lectors from all over the country. “Most decoy enthusiasts now eas-ily recognize the outstanding work of James Best,” said Andresen. “They readily acknowledge that he is probably the most skilled of the North Carolina decoy carv-ers.”

The decoys are now on display in the gallery in the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education. The entire collection of James Best de-coys, tools and carving equipment are planned for a special exhibit

this fall.
