kids with the “choices” model, have the option of raising my seven-year-old twins with the “Old School” model. I try to mix it up a bit, give them choices for certain things, when it doesn’t matter what they choose.

However, when it comes to getting things done effectively and efficiently, so a bunch of time and money isn’t wasted, we do things my way. After all, I am the parent and teacher here.

Funny thing is, whenever I tell my father about my tri-als and tribulations with the younger generation, he says, “Well, it’s a good thing I didn’t write down everything you guys did when you were do-ing it!”

That kind of stops me in my tracks, and I realize we can help kids out only so much be-fore we have to let them figure it out for themselves…

founded in 1982 to help serve the needs of our commu-nity. According to Harris, PCCS was able to assist 11,985 area families and 25,217 area individuals last year. They currently partner with 40 local organizations and agencies to help provide emergency food and clothing assistance to qualified resi-dents of Pender County. They are also blessed with dona-tions from businesses, area and out-of-area residents, and more than 20 area churches.

Harris is planning to apply for grants to help cover the cost of the addition. However, donations are still needed. With children out of school for the summer, more families need help. She said that it is not only the families who receive food stamps and other assistance who need help, but there are many working class people who are struggling to make ends meet.

“Whether it’s small or big, it doesn’t matter. You may think that $5 won’t help oth-ers, but you’d be surprised by what I can buy with that

from the food bank to help a family in need. We even have kids come in that want to help. They may not be able to give more than a dollar, but we tell them when they put that dollar in that donation jar, ‘You’re helping feed a family.’ It doesn’t matter how much or how little. We need every dime we can get right

now, especially to build this building,” said Harris.

PCCS is located at 210 W. Fremont St. in Burgaw. The store is open from 10 a.m. un-til 3 p.m. Monday through Fri-day. For more information or to make donations, call (910) 259-5840 or email [email protected].

increase pedestrian and bike safety.

“The Watch for Me pro-gram is designed to educate and promote walking and bicycle safety. We have the Os-good trail that winds through Burgaw and we a community that does a lot of walking and biking,” said Burgaw Police Chief Ed Hock. “The state helps by providing resources, information and training. The police department is involved in the enforcement aspect of the program – not

necessarily going out and writing a lot of tickets, It’s more about education and just enforcement.”

The Watch for Me NC pro-gram involves two key ele-ments:

messages directed toward drivers, pedestrians and bi-cyclists.

-ment efforts by area police to reduce violations of traf-fic safety laws. Local pro-grams are typically led by municipal, county, or regional government staff with the involvement of many oth-ers, including pedestrian and bicycle advocates, city

planners, law enforcement agencies, engineers, public health professionals, elected officials, school administra-tors, and others.

The Watch for Me NC pro-gram, which started with a pilot program in Wake, Durham, and Orange coun-ties in 2012, each year invites communities across North Carolina to become partner communities.

As part of that effort, part-ner communities receive ad-ditional support and training from NCDOT. All North Caro-lina communities are encour-aged to use Watch for Me NC materials to improve pedes-trian and bicyclist safety.

“I have started at the ground

level. The next thing will be student manager. Then there is a graduate assistant, video coordinator, director of basket-ball operations and assistant coach. The long term goal is to become a head coach at the collegiate level.”

Kevin Keatts left UNCW after the season ended and

former Carolina assistant CB McGrath took over. While Ben-ton hated to see Coach Keatts go he is looking forward to learning from another success-ful coach.

“Coach McGrath and his as-sistants really know the game. I am looking forward to learning everything I can from them.”


With summer officially here, more and more drone operators are heading out-doors to enjoy this technology. An estimated 19,000 North Carolinians now own and op-erate drones for recreational purposes.

“Drones are an exciting new technology, and we want people to be able to enjoy them safely and responsibly,” said Division of Aviation Director Bobby Walston. “All drone operators should make safety their number one priority and take the time to understand the rules and guidelines.”

North Carolina’s Division of Aviation website helps

operators learn how to use drones, also called Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), safely and legally in North Caro-lina.

Recreational useThe N.C. Department of

Transportation, along with the Federal Aviation Administra-tion and model aircraft enthu-siast groups, have established several safety guidelines that when followed could ensure a fun and safe experience:

-

your direct line of sight;

of an airport without notify-ing that airport first;

response efforts, other air-craft, public events, or directly over people;

weigh more than 55 pounds or for compensation; and

-mended, even if your drone is equipped with lights.

Non-recreational useNorth Carolinians inter-

ested in flying a drone for commercial or government operations must obtain a permit from the N.C. Division of Aviation. Before applying, prospective users must pass NCDOT’s UAS Knowledge Test.

Fly drones safe this summer
