Safety is key for July 4th funThe Fourth of July is a time for cel-

ebration across the country, and here in Johnston County - fireworks are a crowd favorite each year. While fire-works can be fun to watch, they can also be very dangerous.

In 2007, an estimated 2,547 injuries to children ages 14 and under involv-ing fireworks occurred from the mid-dle of June until the middle of July. That is 77 percent of all fireworks injuries for this age group.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, approxi-

mately 40 percent of the people injured by fireworks were under the age of 15.

“Don’t ever let kids play with fire-works or sparklers,” says Christina Peterson, Safe Kids Johnston County coordinator. “The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to watch them at a com-munity event where professionals han-dle them,” says Ms. Peterson.

Safe Kids also recommends that adults never use fireworks when chil-dren are present.

Fireworks, including sparklers and flares, can cause serious burns as well

as blast injuries that can permanently impair vision and hearing.

“Teach your children how to call 911 in an emergency. Also teach them what to do if their clothing catches on fire - ‘stop, drop and roll,’” adds Ms. Peterson.

Where permitted by law, fireworks should be handled and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all warning labels.

For more information about fire-works safety and burn prevention, contact 919-202-0002 or visit www.

safekids.org. Safe Kids Johnston County works to prevent unintentional childhood injury, the leading cause of death and disability to children ages 1 to 14. Safe Johnston County is a mem-ber of Safe Kids Worldwide, a global network of organizations dedicated to preventing unintentional injury.

Safe Kids Johnston County was founded in 2009 and is led by the Partnership for Children of Johnston County.

Edmonds crowned Miss NCMary Lahr Cain, EditorKelly Mayo, Robesonian

JOHNSTON COUNTY — Miss Johnston County won the crown in the 76th annual Miss North Carolina Scholarship Pageant at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium on Saturday, June 22.

Johna Edmonds, 24, fought back tears as the 2012 Miss North Carolina Arlie Honeycutt laid the crown on her head. The new Miss North Carolina, a graduate of Lumberton High School, graduated from North Carolina State University in May with a masters in Accounting.

Edmonds sang “Feeling Good,” made famous by the late jazz singer Nina Simone, during the talent competition. She plans to continue her platform for youth literacy, Readers to Leaders, as Miss North Carolina.

Edmonds won the crown after two previous attempts in the statewide pageant. She competed in 2011 as Miss Tar Heel and finished in the top 10 in 2012 as Miss Garner. Earlier last week, she had been named Miss Lifestyle and Fitness as part of the preliminary competition.

Nursery owners to represent community as grand marshals

Mary Lahr CainEditor

Parade entries may change year to year but one thing you can always count on seeing at the Celebrate Cleveland Independence Day Parade. The Cleveland Community is represented by Grand Marshals in a white carriage drawn by hors-es.

Lanny and Helen Thomas first met while they were both students at North Carolina State University. Lanny, a horticulture major, first met Helen through her roommate who was also a horticulture major. They’ve been together since that introduction.

Lanny’s interest in plants led him to work at Holt Lake Nursery south of Smithfield where he also worked after graduating from NCSU.

Lanny came home one day from work in 1978 and told Helen that he wanted to buy his own prop-

erty and open his own nursery. He had found some land, about five acres along a creek, on the north side of Cleveland Road and that is where they built their house and began their business, Swift Creek Nursery.

Over the years, the Thomases have acquired more land as it became available and Swift Creek Nursery is now a 100-acre farm with about 20 acres devoted to

the nursery. They run the business with the help of their son, Jamie, and his wife, Christy. Their grand-children, Abby and Preston, often can be found at the main office as well.

Swift Creek Nursery ships orders 200 miles in all directions from their Cleveland location, 6357 Cleveland Road. Their specialty is hardy flowering shrubs that thrive in this area and a large variety to choose from so that they can be a one-stop shop for buyers.

“Our greatest delight is seeing a good crop of plants grown and being available for consumers,” said Lanny of his business.

It’s also a lot of hard work. Swift Creek grows most of its plants from cuttings and the summer months are spent preparing plants that will ship in the fall.

Angels win Out of School Bash

The Cleveland Angels 16U won first place in the Out of School Bash Tournament in Rocky Mount the weekend of June 22. They were undefeated in this tournament after finishing second in their previous NC USSSA tournament.

Team members are (from the front row, left to right) Haliey Bunting, Elena Lewis, Hannah Cooper, Ali Papworth, Lauren Leclerc, Stevie Moore (assis-tant coach), Ali Dubay, James Wall (assistant coach), Lauren Langdon, Kaylea Eubanks, Barrett Wall, Alayna Parrish, Adrianna Moore and Marvin Parrish (head coach).

Edmonds was a favor-ite of the Town of Garner, so much so that a procla-mation declared Nov. 3, 2012 as Johna Alexandria Edmonds Day and she received the Key to the

Town when her reign ended.

Edmonds was crowned Miss Johnston County in February while she was still in graduate school so her time serving as Miss Johnston County was not as long and productive.

Even so, Edmonds believes her time as Miss Johnston County helped prepare her for the new role as Miss North Carolina. Living close by in Raleigh, Edmonds was really able to work her title. Through her work with the Little Miss rep-resentatives and appear-ances around the county, she got to know the com-

munity.One of her favorite

appearances was at Derby Day in Clayton.

“I’ve never judged a hat contest,” said Edmonds. “That was cool.”

Edmonds has proven that she has what it takes to withstand the scrutiny of the pageant judges but she had no idea during the Miss North Carolina competition that she was their favorite.

“You really never know (what the judges are thinking),” Edmonds said. “It depends on what they wanted from this Miss North Carolina.”

Edmonds also knows

that scrutiny from the public can be tough but she firmly believes that if she shows people who she is through her actions, words and service, she will do her title justice.

Edmonds hit the ground running immedi-ately after being named Miss North Carolina. She went to bed at about 4:30 a.m. Sunday after meet-ing with pageant officials, conducting interviews and celebrating at the Carnation Ball. She got up at 6 a.m. to prepare for a television interview with WRAL.

A Lumberton native, Edmonds is the fourth

Lumbee woman to win Miss North Carolina in the last 13 years. Lorna McNeill Ricotta, a Lumberton native and former Miss Topsail Island and Miss Fayetteville, became the first American Indian to win the crown in 2000.

Rebekah Revels Lowry, a St. Pauls native and former Miss Fayetteville and Miss UNCP, won the crown in 2002. Jessica Jacobs Marquardt, a former Miss Central Carolina from High Point, won the pageant in 2007.

Edmonds said she will spend the next three months making appear-

ances as Miss North Carolina, continuing her work with youth literacy and preparing for the Miss America competi-tion in Atlantic City, N.J., on Sept. 15.

Her plans to begin working for big four accounting giant Ernst & Young, LLP are on hold.

“Miss North Carolina is a full-time job,” Edmonds added. “I’m representing a wonderful state and I want to be the best repre-sentative I can be.”

who has a cool black stripe down his back.

He doesn’t like to be alone and will call out for you if he can’t find you. He loves to explore and to have his belly rubbed.

He was born in April and is up to date with shots and is good with kids, dogs and cats.

tabby kitten. He is super friendly, and loves to play! If it has feathers or moves quickly Caper is pouncing on it.

PetsRemember that your dogs ears are bigger than yours and

they can hear sounds you can’t. Don’t take them with you to fireworks shows. Leave them at home - INSIDE your home. Cats don’t like fireworks either - bring them inside. This is one of the peak times of the year that pets go missing.

If you are going to a cookout with friends or family and you are considering taking your pet, please keeps some thing in mind.

n Be sure your dog is wearing an up-to-date and visible ID tag.

n Take a current photo of your pet, just in case.n Exercise your dog early in the day before the parties

begin.n Have guests play with your dog away from open flames.n Keep charcoal, fireworks, sparklers and glow sticks

away from curious canines.n Keep dog treats on had for those who want to give your

dog food.

According to Lanny and Helen, one of the hardest things to do is to anticipate the market.

“We have to grow now what we will need two years in the future,” added Lanny.

Lanny and Helen have been members of Oakland Presbyterian Church for 30 years where they have served in all areas of the church.

Lanny has served as a volun-teer and committee member of the Johnston County Cooperative Extension Office. He’s also a charter member of the Johnston County Nurserymen’s Association.

The Nurserymen’s Association and Extension Office worked together to form the Johnston County Nursery Marketing Association. This organization offers a way for local nurseries to work together to fill large orders.

That kind of dedication to community is exactly what the Celebrate Cleveland Committee looks for when choosing Grand Marshals.

“[Lanny and Helen] are indus-trious, ready helpers and friendly neighbors who offer encourage-ment to those they meet,” said County Commissioner Cookie

Pope. “They lead and teach by example.”

Although the Cleveland Community has grown a lot since 1978, the Thomases still feel that the area is not so huge that the community feeling is lost. At the same time, it has come into its own.

“People know where you are from when you say Cleveland,” said Helen and Lanny. “It’s an honor to represent the community in the parade.”

Lee named TA of the YearAmanda Lee, a teacher assistant at Four Oaks

Elementary School, was named the 2013 Teacher Assistant of the Year for Johnston County Schools. The announcement came during the annual Teacher Assistant Banquet at Smithfield Selma High School on April 16.

Lee has worked in Johnston County Schools for five years and her philosophy of education includes the fact that children need love most of all. She meets the needs of the students by providing love, encouragement and guidance.

Lee believes that she should be a cheerleader for her students.

“They need words of encouragement and to have someone believe that they can learn and will learn,” said Lee of her teaching style.

Lee also encourages her students to view learning as a life-long process.

“A process that with the right amount of time and love shows we are all learners in this world,” Lee added.

David Pearce, principal of Four Oaks Elementary, has high praise for Lee.

“Amanda has a wonderful rapport with people of all ages, especially children. I have been impressed with her dedication to any endeavor in which she has been involved. If you are looking for an outstanding individual to represent the true heart of Johnston County Schools’ teacher assistants, then look no further.”

CROSSWORD PUZZLEHappy Fourth of JulyLike any celebration,

it’s all about spending time with family and friends. This is a big

time for reunions of all kinds. There may be many events planned, but you know what the main attraction is…food.

My friend, Vinnie, loves to cook and entertain. His culi-nary skills present a table of mouth-watering dishes that

bring you back for sec-onds, if there are any. We share with you his recipe for chicken wings and grilled shish kebob. For the shish kebob, Vinnie prefers to use tri-tip beef.

This is really tender and has enough fat marbling so the meat is not tough. Vinnie buys this cut at Whole Foods or a meat market. A whole tri-tip is about two pounds.

For this Fourth of July, as you prepare your meal and are thankful for those you’ll get to share time with, we wish you a happy, safe and healthy holi-day. We all have so much for which to be thankful. Ok now, fire up that grill and enjoy.

discard or save the tips for an-

Heat a gas grill to medium high and rub the grates lightly with oil. Place wings on grill in a single layer and grill until golden brown, about 5 min-utes per side with grill cover closed.

While wings are grilling, heat about ¾ cup of Frank’s cause and bring to a boil. Remove wings from grill and place in a large bowl and toss with heated Frank’s sauce to coat.

Note: Vinnie likes to thread the meat on a separate skewer from the veggies since they generally cook at different times. He also suggests a great new skewer product called Fire Wire Flexible grill-ing skewer, which is great be-cause it is flexible and you can shape it to the available space on your grill.

Garner actor lands role in Altar BoyzNorth Carolina Theatre (NCT), the region’s pre-

mier producer of professional Broadway musicals, is excited to welcome the Altar Boyz to “rock the masses of all denominations by spreading the good news and soothing the troubled souls of Raleigh through the glory of sweet pop music.”

The runaway off-Broadway sensation, Altar Boyz plays July 12th through 21st for thirteen perfor-mances in AJ Fletcher Theater at the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts.

Altar Boyz introduces a fictitious Christian boy band from Greenville, Ohio. After hitting it big in the Ohio bingo hall circuit, the Boyz are ready to take their “Raise the Praise” tour to the next level! Audience members will fall in love with pretty boy Matthew, ultra-sensitive Mark, bad-boy Luke, hot-

blooded Juan, and Abraham the nice Jewish boy, as they rock the masses in ninety minutes of pure fun and entertainment. With spectacular dance moves and heavenly voices, Altar Boyz brings the funk, lifts the soul and spreads a message about the power of faith, friendship and brotherhood.

Casting includes Marshal Kennedy Carolan (Mat-thew) of Broadway’s Hair, Patrick Elliott (Mark), Patrick Ortiz (Juan) of Broadway’s West Side Story, Tripp Hampton (Abraham), and Garner native Jer-emy Woodard (Luke).

Woodard graduated from Garner HS and received his BFA from East Carolina University. Woodard began his professional career in NC Theatre’s pro-duction of Carousel when he was 15 years old. He most recently appeared on Broadway as “Stacee

Jaxx” in Rock of Ages and will be appearing in the upcoming Diner on Broadway. Other credits include Glory Days, Hairspray, Miss Saigon and television’s The Big C and Smash. Altar Boyz first premiered in 2004 at the New York Musical Theatre Festival. In the spring of 2005, it transferred to off-Broadway’s New World Stages, where it ran for five years. Altar Boyz won the 2005 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical and was nominated for seven Drama Desk Awards, including Best Music, Best Lyrics, Best Book and Best Musical.

Take advantage of local summer offeringsMy children have been able to stay extremely busy

this summer. We have taken full advantage of free museums, free movies, days at the park, library time and having fun. Usually my children and I

find a fun activity to participate in each day and not only does it allow my children to have fun; it doesn’t break the bank.

There are a lot of things in the area you can participate in without breaking the bank.

A great activity to participate in is the Summer at the Springs Outdoor Concert Series in Holly Springs at the Holly Springs Cultural Center. The next concert will be held July 12

from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. The Trophy Husbands will perform classic rock, country, 80’s dance and more. Those wishing to attend are encour-aged to bring a lawn chair. No outside alcohol is allowed at the event. For those who can’t make it to that particular concert, there will be other free concerts held. Check the town’s webpage for more information.

Another great place to try out is the N.C. Museum of Natural Science. Admissions to the museum is free and provides fun for children of all ages. The museum provides an array of exhibits, live programs and films.

For those looking to do a little traveling this summer, let me recommend traveling to the

Biltmore Estate. Biltmore officials are offering a great deal all summer. Throughout the summer, children 16 and younger are admitted free of charge with the purchase of an adult admis-sion. Tickets are available online or by phone at 800-411-3812.

Rushmore on the Fourth of JulyCelebrating the Fourth of July always

brings to mind the images we asso-ciate with patriotism and love of country. The bright flag, of course.

Uncle Sam, the U.S. Capitol, the memorials for Washington and Lincoln.

There is another one that is special for me. The images of four presidents carved on a mountainside—Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt —evoke and expresses a shared national pride in our nation’s heritage.

The story of Gutzom Borglum, the sculp-tor, is also an inspiring American story. The son of Mormon Danish immigrants and a fierce patriot, his audacious vision of creating a gigantic sculpture on the side of a mountain is an iconic American story.

The result of Borglum’s vision and work is a national shrine composed of gigantic sculptures of the heads of four American presidents.

Thinking about Mount Rushmore and its place in American life, this gigantic sculpture can take your breath away. It is not just its size. But the size of the sculptured heads forces you

to contemplate the lives and contributions of the four presidents represented: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. These presidents led our country through times that defined our national identity. They helped make us something different and bet-ter than we otherwise would have been.

Borglum’s vision for Mount Rushmore was indeed audacious. Difficult enough to accomplish in his own time during America’s Depression era, it would have been impossible in any other time. Prior to the last century, the tools to sculpt a moun-tainside would not have been avail-able. Borglum figured out how to use the newly available jackhammers, explosives and heavy equipment, but without them he could not have gone forward.

Today, such a project would be unlikely, because we probably would not coun-tenance the destruction of a gigantic moun-tainside like Mount Rushmore, although work continues on a similar nearby mountainside monument to the Native American Chief

Crazy Horse that began many years ago.In the early part of last century as work on

Mount Rushmore began, America was at the height of its audaciousness.

It had crossed the continent, taking every-thing along the way, displacing the original Native American population and conquer-

ing all natural obstacles to the settle-ment of “new” American people. It destroyed the natural prairie habitat, drove the Buffalo to near extinction and exploited the region’s mineral resources, even at the risk of perma-nently poisoning its environment.

It is ours, America said. We can take it and make it better.

Gutzom Borglum did with Mount Rushmore what our country did with the continent. He took it and made it his. What he did and made is wonder-ful. But what was there before was

wonderful, too, and it will never be there again.

On July Fourth this year, at Mount Rushmore, thousands of Americans will visit the shrine. All ages, all races, all manner of

dress and style, they will show the strength of America’s diversity and energy. They will look up and pause, seeing on that mountain face a dramatic expression of the ideas and history and people that help bind our diverse people together as a nation.

For me, there it is. Mount Rushmore and all its dramatic glory, shouting down to all a message of our country’s great and special strength.

And whispering also, very quietly, that to become the strong American nation, we have, in our audaciousness, scraped off the sides of many mountains.

Plan ahead for your own financial Independence DayThis week, we celebrate

Independence Day with fire-works, sparklers, picnics and parades. Amidst the hoop-

la, though, it’s always important to reflect on the many freedoms we enjoy in this country. And as an individual, you may want to use the occasion to think of another type of independence you’d like to enjoy — financial inde-pendence.

In some ways, we are living in a time when attaining financial freedom is more difficult than it has been for quite a while. We’re still recover-ing from the bursting of the housing bubble and the lingering effects of the Great Recession. Furthermore, wage stagnation is a real problem. In fact, median income for working-age households — those headed by someone under age 65 — actually slid 12.4 percent from 2000 to 2011. Taken together, these factors certainly impose challenges on anyone seek-ing to become financially independent

and eventually enjoy a comfortable retirement.

Still, you need to do every-thing you can to put yourself on the path to financial inde-pendence. For starters, make full use of whatever resources are available to you. If you have a 401(k) or similar retirement plan at work, try to contribute as much as you can possibly afford — and every time you get a raise in salary, increase your contributions. At the very least, put in enough to earn your employer’s matching con-tribution, if one is offered. Also, within your 401(k) or similar plan, choose an investment mix that offers you the chance to achieve the growth you will need to make progress toward the type of retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned.

In addition to contributing to your 401(k), you can also take advantage of another retirement account: a tra-

ditional or Roth IRA. Like a 401(k), a traditional IRA grows tax deferred,

while a Roth IRA can grow tax free, provided you meet certain conditions. Plus, you can fund your IRA with virtually any type of investment, including stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit and Treasury securities.

What else can you do to help yourself move toward financial independence? For one thing, don’t become dependent on “hot tips” or other questionable finan-cial advice about The Next Big Thing in the investment world from so-called experts who often

have poor prognostication records. Even more importantly, though, their advice may simply be inappropriate for your needs and risk tolerance.

Finally, consider these two sugges-tions: Maintain adequate liquidity and keep your debt levels as low as pos-sible. By having enough cash reserves to cover unexpected costs, such as a

major car repair or a new air-condi-tioning unit, you won’t have to dip into your long-term investments. And by keeping your debt payments down, you’ll have a stronger cash flow, which means you’ll have more money avail-able to save and invest for your future.

Each one of these suggestions will require a commitment on your part, along with a clear focus on your goal of financial independence — there just aren’t any “short cuts.” But with a consistent effort, you can keep mov-ing along on your journey toward your own Financial Independence Day.

Woodard named 2013 Bass Trail points champThe Boats Unlimited NC Team Tournament

Bass Trail came to an end on Falls Lake on June 22 with 63 qualified teams competing for the top prize of $10,000 and the title of ‘Champions’.

The 2013 Points Champions were Scott Smith of Apex and Tony Woodard of Four Oaks. They received plaques, JB Custom Rods ($400) and $700 in sponsor money for their efforts and support of the trail.

After the dust had settled, Todd Massey of Chapel Hill and Brandon Gray of Bullock walked to their truck with first place (28.75 pounds), first place Big Fish (7.27 lbs.) and first place TWT for total winnings of $12,198.

Additionally, Massey has signed up with the Triton Boats Gold program and the additional $7,000 will bring his total winnings to over $19K.

Second place went to the team of Dan Glosson and Phillip Eakes of Rougemont and Bahama with 24.66 pounds. They also won second place TWT and took home a total of $1,760.

Two hundred twenty-one bass were weighed

in for a total of 641 pounds. Fish are now in their summer pattern for the most part and were caught in 8 to 17’ of water off points and creek channel sides.

Most were caught with c-rigs, flutter jigs and crankbaits. Water temperatures were in the 80’s and anglers had light winds, mostly cloudy skies and air temperatures from high 60’s to low 80’s for the day.

Following the weigh-in, Ridgecrest Baptist Church Outdoor Ministries treated all the anglers with hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and drinks and Marc Francis delivered a short mes-sage from to the anglers and spectators. Total prizes and gifts amounted to over $20,740.

Tournament sponsors included Boats Unlimited NC, Skeeter Boats, Ridgecrest Baptist Church Outdoor Ministries (Rod King and Crew) and DLS Water Wraps.

The next tournament will be the Piedmont Bass Classics ‘End of Year’ Trail on July 6 at

Falls Lake out of the Ledge Rock Wildlife Ramp.

All tournament information can be found at www.piedmontbassclassics.com.

Fishing tournament experiences: The good, the bad and the uglyAfter having worked with,

fished with and written about fishing tournaments for over 50 years there is a multitude

of stories about interesting experi-ences that have happened in those years. The angling experiences stretch across several oceans and continents and from salt water to the myriad of freshwater lakes and streams. A book could be written about some of those experiences but just a few might be interesting on the heels of

the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament that was held earlier in June.

One experience that stands out in my mind during the Big Rock hap-pened as I was along on one of the compet-ing boats as an observer and Representative of the International Game fish Association (IGFA). It was a relatively calm day

for the offshore waters and typically we were pulling lines and sitting back enjoying the boat ride. The fishing was slow at best. There were storm clouds gathering in front of us and it surprised us when a U.S. Coast Guard boat approached us from the rear and megaphoned over to us that we were going to be boarded for an “inspec-tion.”

In any fishing tournament such as the Big Rock where big money is involved, actual fishing time could mean the difference in winning and losing a great deal of cash and pres-tige.

We were annoyed (to put it mildly) to have to pull in our lines and be pre-pared to spend some time letting the USCG go over the boat to be sure that everything was in order.

For the 15 or so minutes that it took us to pull in all the lines and get ready to be boarded our attention was focused off the stern and not ahead of us.

Just as we had our lines pulled in and the USCG boat was maybe 50 yards off the stern and approaching,

the USCG boat suddenly cut off to the east and gunned it as if the devil him-self was after them. A quick

message on the radio from the Coast Guard screamed for us to “look in front of us and get out of here.” Ahead of us there were not one but three waterspouts that had suddenly appeared from the approaching storm and were headed straight for us.

Our Captain then pulled off a maneu-ver that surprised us. Using his years of experience on the big water he gunned our boat and headed straight into the center of the three approach-ing waterspouts.

I felt sure the tactic was slated to be a suicide mission but as we headed directly into the waterspouts, everything calmed down and we soon resumed trolling and hoping for that big marlin. We did take one in to be weighed that day but unfortunately it was not a winner.

Another memorable offshore big game fishing tournament that I par-ticipated in was off the Gulf Coast of Florida. It was the First Gulf Coast Invitational and was also a first for the well-known “Mr. Bass” himself, Ray Scott. BASS had been sold to a Ms. Helen Sevier by that time and they’d decided that with all the suc-cess of BASS (Bass Angler Sportsman Society) maybe there was some suc-cesses to be had on the salt water fishing scene.

There were two of us as anglers aboard the magnificent 70 foot “Hatterascal” on one of the practice days before the main tournament day and the Captain of the Hatterascal asked us if we’d mind if he and the mate invited their two girlfriends to come along for the ride.

We certainly did not object to two very pretty young ladies being along for the ride and it was for sure that in

spite of a relatively boring and unpro-ductive morning’s trolling out in the Gulf Of Mexico, the scenery was invig-orating. After a delicious lunch aboard the Hatterascal the Captain asked us if we’d mind if the two girls performed their famed “Marlin Dance” on the rear deck. “It usually brings the fish up” he assured us.

We were wondering just what effect the Marlin Dance would have on the fish but as two well-endowed and very, very scantily clad young ladies “boogalooed” on the stern the fish did begin to come up. We caught several nice wahoo and tuna that afternoon. The First Gulf Coast Invitational was off to a good start.

The tournament went well until the night of the awards.

Ray Scott and Helen Sevier had engaged a very nice building, the food was excellent and the liquid refresh-ments were flowing. Everything went as well as it had in the past during the many BASS Masters Classics. Scott and Sevier were off to a good start in the saltwater fishing tournament business.

All that went “south” at the awards ceremony as violent arguments broke out between some of the many win-ners and the tournament administra-tors.

Well-juiced fishermen staggered up onto the stage and physically went after Dewey Hendrick, the tournament emcee. Helen Sevier and Ray Scott stared at the fracas in horror. In all the years of BASS Masters Classics, the formal and exquisite awards banquets with open bars, all those bass anglers had behaved like gentlemen and here these wealthy big game anglers were behaving like thugs.

As the awards ceremony finished the boat captains rushed out to their large boats (The Hatterascal and crew was not among these) and headed out through a narrow channel. Several went aground in their haste to leave and, needless to say, the Bass Angler Sportsman Society never again entered the field of saltwater offshore angling tournaments.

In the OutdoorsFred Bonner

Fred Bonner | Cleveland PostThis heavy duty big game fishing reel is a scene many offshore big game anglers get used to looking at and wondering just when this reel will start to scream as a big blue marlin makes that first excit-ing run away from the boat. It’s typical of what many of these anglers look at for untold hours while waiting for the strike.

Garner’s next big starAllyson BetotGarner News Editor

In recent years Garner has become a mecca of talented youngsters. The question on everybody’s mind is “Who’s Garner’s next star?” The question was answered at a small concert at Aversboro Coffee on June 21.

Savannah Richmond is Garner’s next star.

Richmond, a 15-year-old rising soph-omore at Garner Magnet High School already is pursuing her music career. She performed a variety of music from 6:30 to 8 p.m., singing classic popular tunes, like “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac and “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles, and mix-ing in popular country songs, including a crowd favorite, “Gravedigger” by The Band Perry.

She even took requests from the crowd, which resulted in her belting Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep.”

“The best part about performing for me is seeing someone in the audience that is enjoying themselves. I love to look out and see a smile on a person’s face after I’ve just sang a Patsy Cline classic. It makes me feel like I’ve accomplished the ‘entertaining’ part of performing for people,” Richmond said.

She is part of a very musically inclined family. Her father, Kevin Richmond, per-formed with her on June 21, playing the guitar, bass and backup vocals. Her father,

along with her uncle, Gary Epperson, pro-vide her with vocal and guitar coaching.

“After many years of watching over count-less family members write and enjoy music, I realized I wanted to do something with my music when I grew up,” Richmond said.

She is a member of the Garner Magnet High School chorus and she sings with the Celebration Contemporary Worship Band at First United Methodist Church in Cary.

While it is not confirmed, it’s been men-tioned that auditioning for one of the vocal shows on television is on Richmond’s radar. “American Idol” or “The Voice” may be see-ing another Garner musician in the future.

“I found the love of singing and perform-ing when I was about 8 years old. I’ve been in church and school choir ever since I can remember, but I really took an interest in learning music theory around the fifth and sixth grade,” Richmond said.

Richmond plays the guitar and piano, but hopes one day to add the mandolin to her skill set.

Richmond is very involved in school activities, church and the Garner communi-ty. She mentioned at the concert how proud she is of Garner winning the All-America City Award and how happy she is to call Garner her home.

In recent years, Richmond has taken an interest in tennis and as a freshman at GMHS she was on the Girls’ Varsity Tennis team, a team she hopes to continue being a part of throughout her high school career.
