My name is John Yopp and I am running for Onslow County Sheriff as a Republican Candidate. ​ I am a lifelong resident of Onslow County. I care deeply about the people that live in our community. My family has been living in Onslow County, NC since the 1790s.  We even have a road named after us, Yopp Road. We are known as a hardworking and reliable family willing to help and serve our fellow citizens.  For the past 20 years, I have faithfully dedicated my life to serving the people in this community. ​ On September 11th, 2001, I had an interview with the Onslow County Sheriff's Office. While in the waiting room, I watched the atrocious acts of terrorism unfold in New York City on the tv screen. Despite the chaos, danger, and imminent threat, I watched the selfless bravery of police officers, EMS workers, and firefighters, as they ran into doomed buildings to save people they didn't even know, and this strengthened my commitment and propensity to serve.  PRINCIPLED, CONSISTENT LEADERSHIP SERVING ONSLOW COUNTY In 2001, I began serving as a Correctional Officer in the Onslow County Jail. From there, I assumed the role of patrol deputy for the Onslow County Sheriff's Office and continued to work there for several years. I am currently a Sergeant for the North Topsail Beach Police Department. My entire law enforcement career has been spent working in Onslow County, doing my best to ensure the best possible outcome for each and every citizen I have been called to serve.

Lisa Carpenter has been an integral member of Onslow County since her arrival in 2011. She successfully managed her responsibilities as a wife, homeschool mom, and Mary Kay Sales Director during her early years in Jacksonville. A transition away from her Mary Kay business of 14 years lead her to be the Committee Chair of Boy Scout Troop 197 and founder of Cub Pack 197 while managing the operations of the family's small business, the Lawn Butler. In 2019, shortly after joining the Onslow County Republican Women's Club, she was recruited to run for the position of Club President. She was unanimously elected and served in that capacity in 2020 and was re-elected for 2021 as well. While under her enthusiastic leadership, the Club membership grew by 60% and member participation thrived. As a direct result of her "roll-up-the-sleeves" style of leadership, the Club earned the coveted National Federation's Diamond Achievement Award, the first time ever in the Club's 50-year history.   From the podium at the first 2021 Republican Women's Club meeting, Lisa asked members to step up their community involvement, encouraging them to attend and participate in the County Board of Commissioners and Board of Education meetings, to make sure elected officials were keeping campaign promises. And Lisa leads from the front by doing the same as well.   It did not take long to confirm her suspicions. Our County has a transparency issue. The details of and the process that lead to a land purchase in early 2021 were not fully disclosed and kept the taxpaying citizens in the dark. Something like this can never happen again.   Lisa believes it's time to pull back the curtain and see what's really happening in county government.    Lisa's greatest desire in serving as Commissioner is to be Proactive (getting ahead of issues), Investigative (making no assumptions), and offers A Fresh Perspective (providing clarity and building trust) on the issues that matter most to the people of Onslow County. www.lisa4BOC.com

DaGrip with Rev. Dr. Amy S. Ciceron - join a powerful conversation concerning systemic racism, voter suppression, and the rising cancel culture. Dr. Ciceron even gives her thoughts on the newest chart topping video by Lil Nas X. Dr. Amy S. Ciceron is a native of Lamar, SC. She graduated from Winthrop University in 1993 with a Bachelor of Social Work Degree and worked as a Social Work for 15 year, spending 11 years with the Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services in Charlotte, NC. In 2008, she resigned her social work position to become a full-time Pastor. Dr. Ciceron served as Pastor of the Reeve's Temple(2006-2008) and Shiloh(2008-2014) AME Zion Churches in Davidson and Statesville, NC respectively. Her leadership and determination empowered the members to walk in their God-given gifts. As result, many new leaders were trained & developed through her leadership and two ministers confirmed their call to preach. Additionally, Dr. Ciceron successfully led these congregations through transition that culminated in remodeled churches, increased membership, increased bible study participation, increased giving, summer feeding program, summer camp program and initiating the process for historical designation of church property, which was realized subsequent to her tenure. Currently, Dr. Ciceron serves as Pastor of the St. Julia AME Zion Church, Jacksonville, NC, where their method for ministry is “Re-Tracing Our Path, Re-Thinking Our Process and Re-Tooling Our People for 21st Century ministry.” She has faithfully led this congregation since March 2, 2014 where more than 90 new members have joined the fellowship. St. Julia has received numerous honors for their work in the community, but the ministry that has made the greatest impact is the Food Distributions Ministry in partnership with the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC, Starbucks, Sam's Club & Food Lion where over 1,000,000 pounds of food has been distributed in the Onslow County community since Hurricane Florence (2018).

In book six, Molly strives for her dream dance role of Miss Victory while acting miss-understood. Along the way, she ponders some big questions, such as whether curls will change her life and what it will mean to have her father home from the war. During this episode, we consider if any of us truly go home again...and probe what happened to a real life Miss Victory from the 1940s. This hair-raising journey pushes the reader to consider the power of a perm and the perils of endless war (mostly the former). As hosts and avowed Mollys, Mary and Allison take this opportunity to talk about Molly as a friend, performer, and hair transformer.  Essential Barbara Ann reads:Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich), 02 Dec. 1942. Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers.

Deputies have speculated it could have been a coyote, wolves or even wild dogs, but DNA evidence has concluded only that the attacker was canine in nature  DNA testing facilitated by an N.C. Wildlife biologist has eliminated any wild animals indigenous to the area. Update & Correction from Sheriff's office Beaufort County NC. This office previously received information from the NC Wildlife Resources, that the preliminary DNA testing found domestic K9 DNA on the victim’s clothing.  Investigators learned this morning that information was incorrect, K9 DNA was found on Mrs. Hamilton’s clothing, however the testing does not differentiate between wild K9s such as wolf or coyote indigenous to the area and domestic K9s that may live in the area.  At present Sheriff’s Investigators are collecting DNA from domestic K9s in the area for further testing.  Investigators are continuing to investigate to determine which, if any domestic K9s in the area may have attacked Hamilton.   Past Bigfoot Sightings from BFRO.net- Onslow County-6 sightings bigfoot, Pender 2, Horry County SC. 3 CURSED COMMERCIAL-   UFO reports on the rise in PA:  https://www.mcall.com/news/pennsylvania/mc-nws-pa-ufo-sightings-western-pennsylvania-20190805-pev4l7sxlfaabiiqcfjpktnira-story.html Western PA, home of the Kecksburg incident in 1965, has seen a significant increase in both UFO and Bigfoot/Cryptid sightings in 2019.  Over 31 UFO sightings (many people reporting the same thing on multiple days) in the past two months:  http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/ndxlPA.html  Cliff Barackman’s Bigfoot Museum opens in Oregon:   https://www.wweek.com/culture/2019/07/31/a-leading-sasquatch-researcher-is-opening-oregons-first-bigfoot-museum-we-got-a-sneak-peek/  https://www.kptv.com/news/museum-dedicated-to-all-things-bigfoot-opens-for-sneak-peek/article_ffa9b334-b58c-11e9-bf1c-b357bbd15f9c.html We saw Cliff briefly at the Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Conference.   Nessie sightings reach record highs https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/loch-ness-monster-spotted-twice-18794467 FIRST COMMERCIAL-  Audible is audio entertainment that entertains, educates, and inspires.

What lessons can we take away from their experience? To cope, people had to come up with “contingency plans for their contingency plans” in order to deal with a storm that upended lives and work. Ellen and Caitlin talk about how their courts and their families endured, including judges who had not fully recovered from the previous hurricane (Matthew). They also describe their efforts at disaster recovery, their emergency plans, and their continuity of operations plans (COOP) during the crisis. Finally, they relate how they overcame unforeseen logistical and legal hurdles. Leave a comment or question about the podcast at clapodcast@nacmnet.org.

Welcome to Episode 30 of the Make America Grape Again Podcast, where we explore North Carolina through the lens of one of the most unique indigenous grape species in the US: Muscadine!  Specifically, we drink the Hinnant Family Vineyards Scuppernong, made and grown near Pine Level, North Carolina.  The Scuppernong grape, as it turns out, is also the state fruit of North Carolina. Muscadine grapes consist of various varietals within a unique genus of grape known as Muscadinia rotundifolia (although some botanists disagree that it should be a separate genus... but I'm going to trust whatever Gary, our resident botanist says on the subject.)  Native to the American Southeast, Muscadines have been cultivated extensively for fruit, juice, and wine production for hundreds of years.  Indeed, the oldest cultivated grapevine in the world is a Scuppernong vine in Roanoke, Virginia, known as the Mother Vine. It should also be noted that Scuppernong is one of the most abundant Muscadine varietals used for winemaking. North Carolina has a vibrant winemaking history.  In the mid-19th Century, there were some 25 wineries in North Carolina, with extensive independent vineyards, to such an extent that North Carolina dominated the national market for American wines at the time. The American Civil War ended that market dominance, via damage to the industry through the loss of manpower and scarce capital, alongside various revocation of winemaking licenses due to regulatory retribution following the war.  Prohibition killed the final bits of the wine industry in North Carolina until the industry was born again in the 1950's. This revitalization began with the Scuppernong grape itself; when ten farmers in Onslow County planted twenty-five acres of this historic grape as the result of a promise made by an out-of-state winery.  This winery canceled the agreement when the grapevines started to produce, and so Raymond A. Harsfield opened a winery, called Onslow Wine Cellars, located at Holly Ridge. Scuppernong lead the charge in the rebirth of the wine industry in North Carolina, with French-American hybrid varietals following in their wake.  The first Vinifera grapevines were planted in North Carolina in 1980. Today, the North Carolina wine industry is booming, with four American Viticultural Areas (Haw River Valley AVA, Swan Creek AVA, Upper Hiwassee Highlands AVA, and the Yadkin Valley AVA), over 400 vineyards, and around 200 separate wineries.  Indeed, today North Carolina ranks tenth in both grape and wine production in the United States. This bottle was acquired from Total Wine in Phoenix by yours truly, and there is an amusing anecdote associated with this bottle--find out more in the podcast!

MAMSE: http://middleschoolmatters.com/Conference_Notes/MAMSE_2010.pdf Service Learning Students take leadership roles. They develop the activities. Webspotlight: Solving Algebra on Smartphones Research shows that a project to use the devices as teaching tools in some N.C. districts has had a measurable impact on student achievement in math. By Michelle R. Davis Students, some initially skeptical that a phone would help them do better in math, have been quick to embrace the idea of using the mobile device to learn, says Denton, who attends Dixon High School in the 24,000-student Onslow County, N.C., schools. For some math classes, particularly Algebra 1, Project K-Nect had mathematicians at Drexel University in Philadelphia develop short animated video math problems that teachers can assign to students as homework or classwork. Some students have taken the technology a step further and created movies with graphics, student actors, and stories highlighting math. Particularly popular are student-created movies with a “CSI” theme in which the drama uses math to solve a crime. One student produced and posted a rap song on polynomials, which was ultimately posted to YouTube and spawned thousands of imitators, says Gross of Digital Millennial Consulting. Learning Science: http://learningscience.org/index.htm Slum Dog Millionaire and Education: "Having watched hundreds of Indian children learning without teachers at the Hole In The Wall computers, it became obvious that all children can work by themselves, if they want to," Mitra says. "Most British children grow up with the internet and have the means to learn what they want in minutes, and this challenges the traditional idea of school being about learning things that will come in handy in the future. They become disengaged." Mitra is not alone in noticing this problem. John Dunford, head of the Association of School and College Leaders, last week told the group's annual conference that computer games and websites have made children impatient and harder to motivate. http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2010/mar/16/slumdog-millionaire-education-online-independent NCMSA10 Conference Notes (Todd Williamson) http://thetechnorateteacher.wordpress.com/2010/03/13/ncmsa10-education-in-japan/#comment-285 MAMSE10 Conference session notes hosted by Dexter Public Schools. http://www.dexterschools.org/~millcreek/mamse2010/MCMAMSE/Resources_Pg1.html Events & Happenings: Calendar of Events: NMSA News:
