Watch out for your neigh-bors, and ask them to watch out for you. Don’t be afraid to talk to law enforcement before you need them. Build relation-

ships, and be willing and able to provide a tag number from a car with a television sticking out of the trunk.

We can’t eliminate crime, but we can make it a lot harder to commit, but it takes more than additional patrol officers and burglar alarms. It takes being a good citizen.

“What is he doing?” asked Kathy.

“I think it looks like . . .” I started.

“Oh, no! He thinks it’s a

girl!” she whispered.“I’m thinking we shouldn’t

watch,” I said, and Kathy left the room.

I went back to the Sunday paper, and Watson walked away. Kathy came back into the room.

“What’s he doing now?” she asked.

“I think he’s looking for a cigarette.”

It is that time of year again. Crowds gather. People enjoy greasy foods while mingling all in the name of a common passion. No, it has nothing to do with the opening kick of the football season. Yes, it has everything to do with

the opening hunt of a series of seasons over the coming months.

Dove season marks the excitement and built up an-ticipation of a long hot sum-mer. No more road trips with the family and kids asking every 20 minutes can they go to the restroom. Or in this day and age maybe the questions is “when will we have wi-fi again?” Regardless, now is when patience begins to settle back in and the hustle and stresses of the working world and even the vacationing world, starts to diminish.

Opening day has become a classic tradition for the out-doorsman. We learned how to hunt during dove season, and we would wait several years honing our skills so we could brag to our friends how we got the limit. For us as kids, a 20-gauge or .410 set the tone and

we could not wait to graduate to the 12-gauge like our father and grandfather used.

Of course dove season leads into deer archery sea-son, deer gun season, one of the many different duck seasons, and all kinds of small game seasons. Each has its own merit. As a kid, we usually went from dove to squirrels, and they were completely different styles of hunts. When we became teenagers we would tag along on the duck hunts and deer hunts. And just like that we thought we were seasoned veterans of this magnificent gun sport and heritage.

But dove season has always been a little something more. There is more of a comradery between hunters. It begins as a social gathering in fact. Doz-ens if not hundreds depending on where you hunt, gather for

a feast. A pig pickin’ with all kinds of trimming, hot dogs and hamburgers, and fried and barbeque chicken tend to be the favorites. However I have been at one where we watched a goat being skinned and cooked. It is all in the customs I guess.

We head to the fields, each person picking a favorite spot far enough away from others to be safe, but close enough to make sure any raiding mourning dove could never fly through without a shot. The goal is not only to bring the bird down, but to keep it flying too. No bird is to find a place to land. Keep them in the air and everybody gets a shot.

As kids we may imagine the dove as enemy aircraft and we were the gunners trying to bring the down. As adults, we sit there and

think how grand it must be to hunt dove in a place like Argentina where hundreds of thousands fly overhead. Or we may just try and work our beloved four legged friends and test his training, skills, and obedience.

Doves also became one of our first animals we had to clean. I remember as a youngster sitting in front of a five-gallon bucket with a couple of dozen birds. I was shown one time. Stick your finger under the breast bone and pull. But afterwards, we would take the breasts and marinate overnight, wrap in bacon, and have the best cook-out the following day.

So, in that regards we learned to appreciate the game we hunted for more than just the hunt too.

Now it is time to share that same appreciation once again.

The N.C. Wildlife Resourc-es Commission’s Home From The Hunt campaign reminds hunters that when dove hunt-ing season opens on Sept. 5 to be safe and responsible in the field throughout the season.

Shooting hours are half-hour before sunrise to sunset for the entire season, includ-ing opening day. The 2015-16 season for mourning and white-winged dove is Sept. 5 to Oct. 10, and resumes Nov. 23 to Jan. 15. Daily bag limit is 15 and possession limit is three times the daily bag limit.

The season does not in-clude Sundays; hunting of migratory game birds by any method is not allowed on Sundays.

T h e H o m e F ro m T h e Hunt™ campaign lists the following Top 5 dove hunting recommendations:

adhere to established zones of fire.

birds and alert others when a bird is too low for a safe shot.

to walk the field and inspect the area for bait.

-ity lines, which is trespassing and risks electrical shock.

which is a hunting regula-tions violation.

All hunters must follow applicable licensing require-ments and hunting regula-tions. It is an individual hunt-er’s responsibility to know the area being hunted. Don’t hunt over baited fields. According to state regulations, the plac-ing, exposing, depositing, dis-

tributing or scattering of salt, grain or other feed that could serve as a lure for migratory game birds can constitute a baited area. Because birds often return to a feeding area even after the food source is exhausted, hunting within 10 days after complete disap-pearance of feed from a baited area is illegal.

Dove season opens September 5

The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission’s Home From The Hunt campaign is reminding hunters to be prepared and stay safe, especially when us-ing a tree stand. That includes pre-hunting season prepara-tion, whether scouting a loca-tion, trimming shooting lanes or putting up a tree stand on a trial basis.

“Hunters should use the same tree stand precautions now as they would during hunt-ing season,” said Lt. Sam Craft, a wildlife officer and hunting

safety instructor. “When first putting a tree stand in place, consider using a lineman-style belt in addition to a full-body harness. This minimizes the chance of falls and potential injury. Always select a healthy, straight tree for placement. And let someone know where you are or take someone along during pre-season work.”

Other Home From The Hunt™ tree stand safety rec-ommendations:

level, gradually going higher.

you climb — use a haul line to raise and lower equipment.

contact when climbing.-

structions.-

turer’s maximum height set-tings.

As with any piece of equip-ment, tree stands need in-spection before use. Replace rusted bolts, frayed straps or, if needed, buy a new tree stand. Leaving a tree stand up

from one season to the next has some inherent problems that outweigh any convenience. When a tree stand is exposed to the elements due to long-term placement, it may have damaged straps, ropes and attachment cords — any of which potentially may lead to breakage and failure.

Gaither and his subsequent two-point conversion run.

An interception by Grant McKoy put the Pirates back in business and they needed only 30 yards to make it 14-0 on Montano’s 23-yard run. Topsail went 72 yards on that possession with Montano’s 32-yard scamper making it 20-0. The lead mushroomed to 26-0 at the half thanks to a 52-yard drive that ended when Floyd found Justin Smith, who made an outstanding catch, behind down the middle behind the defense for a 29-yard hookup. That drive was made possible thanks to an interception by Pirate Hunter Potts.

“The offensive line was awesome and they made our

job a lot easier,” Gaither said. “They were able to open the lanes and we were able to find some space and gain some good yards. Defensively, we kept them from getting any-thing going and they gave us (offense) the ball with some favorable field position, and we were able to take advan-tage of it.”

Topsail’s first second-half possession resulted in a 20-yard scoring run by Montano, and it was 40-0 one series later when Smith bolted in from five yards out.

Pender avoided being blanked when Hooper scored on a 20-yard run with 4:32 remaining in the game, and the Patriots scored again with 16.7 clock when quarterback Jake Rawls connected with Joel Kea on a 14-yard touch-down pass. Matthew Ezzell connected on both extra-

points.A home game this Friday

is next on Topsail’s agenda before a road trip to Croatan (Sept. 11) and a home game against, Jacksonville (Sept. 18). Mid-Eastern 3A/4A Con-ference play begins at Laney (Sept. 25).

“Now comes the big boys,” Inman said. “The last two years we won these two games but there was a little more struggle to winning them. Hopefully this year we can take that momentum and move forward.

“Dixon is going to be a challenge for us and, of course, there’s Croatan and Jacksonville, and then it gets even tougher. The thing about these first two games is we never let them get back in it, and we have to keep that mentality and effort going forward.”

are struggling through their annual non-conference sched-ule that includes numerous up-per echelon volleyball teams.

Pender came into the con-test with a 0-4 record but a steadily improving squad. When the dust settled, the Pi-rates walked away breathing a sigh of relief as the upstart Pats took the first two games before falling 3-2 to the 3A Pirates. The scores were 25-27, 22-25, 25-18, 25-10 and 15-6.

In the first two games of the match the Patriots overcame small deficits to win close games. Pender looked to be on its way to an improbable sweep of the Pirates before a 4-0 run gave the Pirates a 17-

13 lead in game three. An 8-5 Pirate run ended the Patriots two game winning streak and the Pirates seemed poised to make a run of their own.

Topsail reeled off two wins behind the play of Madi Ford and Peyton Schoenleber and the match was set for game five. The Lady Pirates used the momentum that they had built to take a 15-6 win.

Coach Davis saw a lot of positive things in his teams play despite the loss and thinks that his team has made a lot of progress over the last two weeks. The Topsail match was a good example of where his team is and where it is going.

“We played exactly as I hope to play all year. We took the first two games and had a chance to steal the third, but couldn’t quite get over the hump when the score was

around 17-17 or so. In both of the first two games we got down early, but instead of al-lowing that to discourage us we slowly but surely got back into the game, keeping the ball up and digging up hard hit shots. We did such a good job of digging the hard shots up that Topsail had to adjust and started going to more tip shots to spots on the floor instead of straight power shots. Consis-tency will be the key though. We did it against Topsail. We’ll have to do it every night, every game, and every point to really do what we want to do and that will still take some time to develop.”

The Patriots hosted an-other tough foe in Wilmington Christian Academy before traveling to Clinton to begin conference play.

“We just couldn’t seem to get anything going in the first two games, and I felt like we didn’t get Madi (Ford) any touches, and in my opinion that was the difference in the third, fourth, and fifth games, she got a couple of balls and she pounded them and that gave us a lot of energy,” Top-sail Coach Hill Pearsall said. “We were more energized, we got her some balls, and we played better in every aspect of the game.

“Payton had a very good night. She struggled the first two games so we switched from a 6-2 to a 5-1 in the third, fourth, and fifth games and that played to her strength.”

Led by junior Imani Newk-irk, Pender (0-5) was clearly the better team in the first two games as they overcame early Topsail leads to get their first and second individual game wins of the year.

The third game was tied 11 times before a 4-0 run, fu-eled by a pair of kills from Schoenleber, produced a 17-13 Topsail lead – one they would not relinquish – and Ford closed out the win with a pair of kills.

The Lady Patriots were re-ally never in the fourth and fifth games. Topsail led 17-8

before a 6-0 run, behind three aces from Selena Biele, put the game out of reach. Trail-ing 1-0 in the 15-point fifth game, the Lady Patriots went on a six-point spurt to make it 6-3, then closed things out with a nine-point outburst.

“We definitely picked up the intensity,” Schoenleber said. “The first two games I think we were really slow and then we made a change to the 5-1 and that really helped because Madi got more reps. Despite the first two games I think, tonight, we improved to by leaps and bounds, more than we have all season so I’m really excited to see where we can take it from here.”

The week opened on Mon-day with a revenge-filled 3-0 (14-25, 17-25, 21-25) loss to a scrappy and hard-serving Wilmington Christian Acad-emy squad (7-2) one week after the Lady Pirates beat the Lady Patriots 3-1.

As they usually do, the Lady Patriots dug up several tough shots by the Topsail hit-ters, finishing the game with a plethora of saves but it was the serve/receive game that did the Lady Pirates in. WCA was led by Caroline Fountain (28 assists, six aces). Cassie Taylor added four aces and six kills, and Ellie Kohl, led both teams with 10 kills. WCA had 11 aces in the three games.

“We had a very difficult night with serve/receive

where we have done much better in the first two match-es,” Pearsall said. “We didn’t adjust well and I felt we played really flat on our feet, we weren’t on our toes when we hit the ball. When we had our offense going we were good, we got some great hits. But if you can’t get the pass up to the setter, that makes a huge difference.

“We only had one decent run (six points) and it’s a trib-ute to the way WCA plays de-fense and the fact we couldn’t pass the ball. If you can’t make the pass you can’t get any offense, you can’t get any runs. They played their regu-lar defense where they make every effort to touch the ball and get it up, but I felt like we really didn’t play well enough on the back line to keep us in the game.”

The week ended with a tough five-set (17-25, 25-19, 25-10, 18-25, 14-16) loss to Jack-sonville on the road. Schoen-leber had 18 service points, eight aces, and eight kills, Ford added eight kills and two blocks, and Angelica (six kills, ace) and Selena (four kills, two aces) Biele.

The Lady Pirates (3-2) returned home last Tues-day and opened Mid-East-ern 3A/4A Conference play against Laney. South Bruns-wick comes to Hampstead for another conference tilt Thursday.

Topsail scored on their next possession behind the play of their mammoth offensive line. D.J. Montano scored on a 32-yard run that made the score 20-0. The Pirates scored again late in the half and the Patriots were looking at a 26-0 deficit with one half of play to go.

Topsail continued to run the

football straight at the young Patriot defense. The score reached 40-0 early in the third quarter. The Patriot defense was on its heels with just under a half of football to play.

The Patriots scored their first points of the 2015 season with 4:32 to play. Justin Hooper found the endzone on a 20-yard scamper to make the score 40-7. Jake Rawls found Joel Kea on a 14-yard pass play that finalized the score.

The Patriot offense was

held to a total of nine yards of offense in the first half and 76 in the game while the defense allowed the Pirates 335 yards of total offense including 280 yards on the ground.

Hooper scored the only rush-ing touchdown while gaining 37 yards on 11 carries while Jake Rawls was 3-10 for 21-yards with two interceptions along with a touchdown toss.
