By Arthia Nixon Florida/Georgia Star A Brunswick pastor has come under fire after a YouTube video surfaced of him publicly discussing several current issues while using cuss words and blasting several prominent members of the community. Rev. Kenneth Adkins was spotted in a Brunswick barbershop wearing a red shirt holding a conversation in which he referred to whites as crackers and blacks as niggers. During the seven minute long rant he was clearly heard saying I dont f*ck with them when referring to some people. In addition to accusing former judge Amanda Williams of several things, he talked about a local man who went to jail for not paying child support stating he went to jail because he wasnt gonna give that ho none of his money, referring to the mans wife. In another shocking part of the video, Adkins stated: I'm saying it's the black leaders fault. I'm saying it's the old school. I'm saying it's [name illegible], Robert Griffin, and Buck Rogers and all y'all's fault and all of you in here who have been the HNIC the head n*gger in charge of being in a city like this. He accused the upstanding men who have tirelessly given to the community of working along with people like Williams and not looking out for po n*ggers. [They] allow this to happen because they were getting their money, ranted Adkins. They were getting their houses paid for Perhaps the most shocking part of the video was to hear Adkins view of the people he pastors. Most shocking however was to hear him describe his role in the community. I've got to pastor these poor ass n*ggers, he said. I got their best interests Mark Baker is always going to be a rich n*gger So I don't hold the light with these street n*ggers. I ain't never gonna not have ... I tell the sisters I don't give a damn if they have one or two baby daddies. I've got my best interest because I'm trying to look out for me. Up to press time, the video had over 2,000 views and several comments. ugtxkpi"{qw"ukpeg"3;730 Tcvgf"C-"d{"vjg Dgvvgt"Dwukpguu"Dwtgcw Cp"Cyctf Ykppkpi Rwdnkecvkqp Tgcf"Vjg"Hnqtkfc cpf"Igqtikc"Uvct Pgyurcrgtu0vjghnqtkfcuvct0eqo Nkuvgp"vq"KORCEV Tcfkq"Vcnm"Ujqy0 The peoples choice Vjg"Hnqtkfc"Uvct R0"Q0"Dqz"6284; Lcemuqpxknng."HN"54425 PQTVJGCUV"HNQTKFCU"QNFGUV."NCTIGUV."OQUV Rtguqtvgf"Uvcpfctf W0U0"Rquvcig"Rckf Lcemuqpxknng."HN Rgtokv""Pq0"5839 Vjg"Hnqtkfc"Uvct.

One 1st Sunday morning, the Rev. Dr Lawrence noticed that his then 3 year grandson Dementrious was standing and staring up at the large plaque that hung in the foyer of the church. He noticed that the youngster had been staring at the plaque for some time, so he walked up and stood beside him. Gazing up at the plaque too, he said quietly, "Good morning grandson." "Good morning Granddaddy" replied Lil Meechie, not taking his eyes off the plaque. "Granddaddy, what's this?" Lil Meechie asked. "Well son, the plaque list all of the people who have died in service," replied the Rev. Dr. All was quiet for a moment as they stood together staring up at the large plaque. Lil Meechie's voice barely broke the silence when he asked real quietly, "Which one Granddaddy, Sunday School service or the 11:00 am service?

PAGE 4 THE STAR APRIL 13, 2013 E kaabo (eh-kah-bow). Welcome.The Democratic Club of Amelia Island Elects Allean Deloris Gilyard PresidentAllean Deloris Gilyard a deeply rooted resident of American Beach was recently elected President of the Democratic Club of Amelia Island. Mrs. Gilyards hands on role as a community servant are steep and widely appreciated. Years ago she was a charter founder bringing the Jack and Jill, Inc. to Fernandina Beach. She and her husband, Erving, were also charter members of the American Beach 4-H Club. When asked how she became involved with the Women for Obama Campaign and the Democratic Club of Amelia Island? Gilyard stated, I have been excited about being a Democrat and voting since my high school days. In her sophomore year she was honored to have been elected Home Coming Queen, by her senior year she was elected Student Body President. As Student Body President she initiated a project to help students understand the voting process. When she approached officials about bringing a voting booth to the school for classmates and fellow students to actually go inside a voting booth and get the feel of this very important process, she was surprised at how readily the Supervisor of Elections Office agreed. She along with so many of her classmates were barely eighteen, and this was a very big deal for them. Deloris vividly remembers this adolescence experience saying, Getting my drivers license at the age of sixteen was exciting, but registering to vote at eighteen, was the ultimate. After graduating from Florida State University Mrs. Gilyard began teaching in Fernandina Beach. Her entire teaching career which expanded more than 30 years has been at the highly academic rated Fernandina Beach High School. Here she taught a range of food preparation and nutrition classes including gourmet dining, sponsored a variety of student activities and served as Chairman of the Exceptional Student Education Department. In 1998 Mrs. Gilyard was one of three educators in the eleven county north east Florida region to receive the prestigious Outstanding Contribution to Career Development Awareness Award from the First Coast Manufacturers Association. The First Coast Manufacturers Association is noted for their committed to Environmental Protection, Workforce Education, Economic Improvement. A renowned caterer, Mrs. Gilyard is constantly sought for her variety of cakes and preparing special events dinners for clients. Throughout the year family and friends of the Gilyards fill their American Beach home to capacity for their annual Christmas Brunch, Shrimp Festival Picnic and frequent Food Fests. Mrs. Gilyard is a member of the First Missionary Baptist Church in downtown Fernandina Beach, immediate past Secretary of the Fernandina Beach Retired Teachers Association and Secretary of the American Beach Property Owners Association, Inc. She says of her new role in the Democratic Club, My goal is to inspire and motivate our community to follow the democratic principles and to help grow our democratic base in Nassau County. I am grateful to all the activists who have paved the way, and I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to serve as President of the Democratic Club of Amelia Island. Gilyard and fellow democrats are looking forward to the next four years and beyond. Their continued mission is to turn Nassau County BLUE along with the rest of the state of Florida and to elect more democrats to local, state and national offices. They hone their skills through year round voter registration and education campaigns. In election campaigns volunteers man the phone banks encouraging electors to take advantage of voting by mail and early voting. They also do strategic door to door canvassing. With the Back-2-Back campaigns that elected Barack Obama President of the United States Back-2-Back, the Democratic Club of Amelia Island Is responsible for getting more people voting than ever before. While the Presidential Election is over the Democratic campaign to turn Amelia Island "BLUE" is on going. Help Wanted We need volunteers to help us keep the Headquarters Office open.

Thats why it is so important that parents build a strong relationship with their kids and talk to them about substance abuse -the earlier the better! Here are a few ways you can build a positive relationship with your kids and start talking to them about drugs. Establish and maintain good communication with your children The better you know your children, the easier it will be to guide them towards positive activities and friendships. Talk to your children every day. Share what happened to you and ask what happened to them during the day. Ask questions that kids cant answer with yes or no, such as what was your favorite part of the day. Ask your children their opinions and include them in making decisions. Show your children that you value their thoughts and input. Be ready to talk to your children as early as the fourth grade, when they may first feel peer pressure to experiment with alcohol, drugs, or cigarettes Listen to your childs or teens concerns nonjudgmentally. Repeat them to make clear that you understand. Dont preach. Get involved in your childrens lives Young people are less likely to get involved with drugs when caring adults are a part of their life. Spend time doing something your children want to do every day. Support your childrens activities by attending special events, like recitals and games, and praising them for their efforts. Help your children manage problems by asking what is wrong when they seem upset and letting them know you are there to help. Be a positive role model Children imitate adults. Demonstrate ways to solve problems, have fun, and manage stress without using alcohol or drugs. Point out examples of irresponsible behavior, such as ones you see in movies or hear in music. Remember that you set the example. Avoid contradictions between your words and your actions. Use alcohol in moderation, dont smoke cigarettes, and never use drugs. Talk to your children about drugs Talk to your children one-on-one and together. Educate yourself about alcohol, tobacco, and drug use before talking to your children. You will lose credibility if you dont have your facts right. Explain the effects of drugs on the body and the legal consequences of using drugs. Make it clear that you dont want your kids to use drugs and that you will be disappointed if they do. If any of your children have tried drugs, be honest about your disappointment, but emphasize that you still love them. Safety Middle School Teacher Face Drug ChargesA teacher from a middle school was arrested on drug charges during a traffic stop. An officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle after the driver failed to stop at a posted stop sign. The driver was 36-year-old Donya Leigh-Anne Dennard. As the officer was speaking with Dennard, he detected the odor of marijuana coming from inside of the vehicle. When the deputy asked for consent to search the vehicle, Dennard became nervous and advised the deputy she did have something illegal in the vehicle. When asked what the illegal contents were, Dennard told the officer she had a bag of marijuana in the vehicle. The officer searched the vehicle and located three separate bags of marijuana inside of the vehicle with a total weight of 19.8 grams. The officer soon found out that Dennard was taught at a middle school. D Dennard was arrested and charged with possession of cannabis and possession of paraphernalia. She has been since bonded out. Donya Dennard Men Wanted for 28 Charges Arrested Two wanted men were arrested after being spotted at a park where detectives were training and learning surveillance techniques. The two men face a combined total of 28 charges. While participating in field training at a park, a detective observed a suspicious vehicle in the parking area. The suspect vehicle, a silver Cadillac with dark tinted windows and a temporary tag matched a description of a vehicle connected to Felony Lane/Smash n Grab suspects. The surveilling deputies called other patrol deputies in the area and they conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle after it left the park. "Felony Lane/Smash 'n Grab" refers to a group of suspects who seek areas where women are known to leave their purses in parked cars, such as schools, daycares, parks, gyms, and churches. The suspects usually use a rental car with dark temporary tint on the windows and pull up next to a victim's car, punch a hole in the window, and steal purses and other items of value. The entire crime usually takes less than 60 seconds. The male suspects then give the stolen driver's licenses to female accomplices who use wigs and disguises to take stolen checks to the farthest lane at a bank drive-through (hence the phrase "felony lane"), and cash the checks. They typically also fill up their cars with gasoline using stolen credit cards and make other fraudulent purchases. A traffic stop was made on the suspicious vehicle and the occupants were identified as Javon Hines, 23, and Simmie Dinkins, 24. They told police that they were in the area to meet some women and were in the park smoking a blunt. Both men were arrested. Hines was arrested for outstanding warrants for conveyance burglary, grant theft, aggravated assault with a motor vehicle, and criminal mischief. Dinkins was arrested for outstanding warrants for twenty one counts of criminal use of person identification, two counts of conspiracy to commit criminal use of ID, and one count of organized fraud. Police say the Cadillac was originally seen parked next to a white Subaru Outback which had a womans purse and GPS in plain view. It is believed the suspects may have been targeting the items inside the Subaru. A screw driver was also located in the back seat area of the Cadillac where Hines was sitting. The investigation is ongoing. Javon Hines Simmie Dinkins Carjack Suspect Targets Man with Child A man was arrested after carjacking a man who was carrying a baby. An officer was patrolling an area and was at one point was flagged down by a witness. The witness was waving her arms frantically, yelling that a suspect was armed and a robbery just took place. The witness pointed at a male victim who was holding his baby standing on the side of the road. The officer immediately turned around and was directed by multiple neighbors in the direction of where the suspect drove away. The officer continued driving and observed a blue Ford Crown Victoria parked halfway on the sidewalk which had crashed into a chain link fence. The vehicle was abandoned with the driver's door open. As he drove up closer, he observed the suspect jumping over a six foot fence. As the officer was driving, he requested for assistance and a perimeter was set. He observed the suspect running while wearing a black hoodie and black pants. Officers chased him through a residence, many yards, and jumped many fences until they were able to get the suspect in custody. The victim from earlier told police that he drove to a specific address to pick up his child. When he left, he said he was holding his child and a car seat. As he was placing the car seat in the back seat of his car, the suspect approached him with his hoodie pulled over his head. The suspect pointed a black handgun with an extended magazine at him and yelled "Give that **** up". The victim took out his keys and cash and threw it on the ground. He then ran from the suspect. A witness said she watched the suspect from her home. She said the suspect approached the victim by "creeping" up on the victim as he pulled his hoodie over his head (she thought this was strange due to the temperature outside). She said she saw the suspect demand the victim of his belongings and the victim emptied his pockets while yelling "Don't hurt my baby!" She observed the victim run away from the suspect and then saw the suspect get away in the victim's vehicle. After an investigation of the area, an officer found the suspect's gun, a black Smith and Wesson with a 30 round magazine, behind a garage under a bucket. Further investigation of the gun revealed it was stolen in 2008 during a residential burglary. 23-year-old Ali Lamont Perkins was arrested and charged with armed carjacking and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. Perkins has been arrested many times in the past and have been charged with multiple felonies. Ali Perkins

What's there not to love about Italy? That fabulous country gave the world so many wonderful things. Gelato, fine wines, Michelangelo, amazing fashion and Sophia Loren are just a few things that come to mind. Did I mention Italian food? Don't get me started! Say "made in Italy" and images of quality, fine craftsmanship and beauty are instantly conjured. Add sex appeal to this potent mix and you have the hottest lingerie brand coming out of Italia in a long time: Valery. I just bought some pieces from their new collection for ThePinkSlip.com and all I have to say is hubba hubba! This lingerie will turn any woman into a classic Italian film goddess. Picture Sophia slowly peeling off her sheers and lingerie for the viewing pleasure of an eager Marcello Mastroianni in the 1963 film Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. That's the kind of heat this collection has. It's created with a nostalgic appreciation for classic corsetry styling that transcends the passage of time. Valery is made in Italy and features Chantilly leavers laces and precious fabrics, resulting in a genuine line of luxury intimates that a true lingerie aficionada will invest in. Valentine's Day is just around the corner and these seductive intimates are perfect for a romantic encounter. Choose from two fabulous pieces designed in sexy sheer fabrics: the Calypso baby doll or the corset.
Oh, Baby!
Designed in sheer stretch tulle with a seductively open front and stretch satin border, this sweet little number is a sheer delight! The Valery baby doll is super feminine, decorated with luxurious Leavers lace on the gathered soft cups and also along the bottom.
A Sheer Pleasure
This exquisite corset from Valery is designed in sheer tulle with a lace overlay and luxurious silk-band boning that sits on all the right places to flatter. It has sexy adjustable spaghetti straps. Don't forget the matching G-String designed in sheer stretch tulle, stretch satin and Leavers lace. A sexy T-back opening is made with soft tulle and adjustable straps.
For a finishing touch, add some sexy thigh highs from Philippe Matignon and you're ready to recreate Sophia's classic look.
Ciao, bella!

Prior to the recent love-on-the-rocks update that Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler and reality someone-or-other Kristin Cavallari chose not to become man and wife after all, friends and well-wishers pretty much hit everything the couple asked for on their Crate & Barrel registry.
Alas, Crate & Barrel apparently hasn't been apprised that the nuptials are not to be, for the registry is still active. If you're so inclined, Jaistin still seeks three sizes of candle holders and a $34.95 large bowl. Poor things. Maybe Ditka will find it in his heart to cheer ole Jay up.

Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Barca/Man U is underway on ESPN2 if you're into that kind of thing even when Lionel Messi and Chicharito aren't. Dickey's around tomorrow. Please treat him with the respect and dignity he deserves.

After fives months of silence, Janet Jackson is speaking out about the death of brother Michael Jackson – and she's blaming the singer's physician, Dr. Conrad Murray.
"He was the one that was administering," Janet told ABC's Robin Roberts in an interview airing on November 18. "I think he is responsible."

Dr. Murray, who investigators have been looking into whether he gave the pop star a lethal dose of the anesthetic profopol in the hours before his death, said in August in a YouTube video, "I have done all I could do. I told the truth and I have faith the truth will prevail."
In her new ABC interview, Janet said it's still hard to imagine that her brother is no longer here.

"It's been a tough year," she said. "You have your days where it's just really – it's hard to believe. And a day doesn't go by that I don't think about him."
Janet recalled the moment she heard Michael had been taken to the hospital on June 25.
"I was at my house in New York. You know, another day. Another morning. And I get a call … [my assistant] said, 'Your brother's been taken to the hospital. It's on CNN right now,'" Janet said during the interview. "I called everyone's. There's a line busy or — someone wasn't picking up. I spoke to mother. I spoke to Tito. I spoke to my nephew Austin. I spoke to my sister La Toya."

When Janet did not hear back from her family, she called again – only to find out the tragic news.
"I told them to call me when they got to the hospital. And I remember thinking nobody's calling me back, so I tried calling again, and that's how I found out that he was no longer… I couldn't believe it," she said.
Janet said news of her brother's death was almost impossible to believe.
"It just didn't ring true to me. It felt like a dream," she explained. "It's still so difficult for me to believe. It's, you know, you have to accept what is. But it's hard. You have to move on with your life. You have to accept what is and I understand that."
The 43-year-old singer said she looks back on the last time she saw her brother with fond memories.
"We had a lot of fun, laughing. …I was being silly, acting silly. And he was sitting in front of me and just cracking up, laughing at me," she recalled. "I was being loud. And he thought it was so funny. I was just being stupid, acting silly."

A patent lawsuit against Apple's virtual assistant, Siri, was delayed because the judge assigned to the case recused himself -- likely because he owned stock in the Cupertino, Calif. company, according to reports.
CNET reported that District Court Judge Gary Sharpe stepped down Tuesday citing the law, "Any conduct that would lead a reasonable [person] knowing all the circumstances to the conclusion that the judge's 'impartiality might reasonably be questioned' is a basis for the judge's disqualification." (As is typical, the "interest" Sharpe had isn't known, it probably means something innocuous. It could even mean he owns shares of Apple.) District Judge David Hurd will now take over the lawsuit.
The case was filed against Apple by Dynamic Advances, a Texas company which owns the '798 Patent with deals with voice recognition technology. The owner, Erich Spangenberg, "is known for a 'sue first, ask questions later' approach to patent infringement."

NBC News and news services: U.S. flags flew at half-staff on Friday in memory of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, who was honored by fellow astronauts and other VIPs as a "brave, reluctant hero."
Ohio-born Armstrong passed away on Aug. 25 at the age of 82, due to complications that arose from heart surgery earlier in the month. President Barack Obama ordered that flags be flown at half-staff as a mark of respect for Armstrong, who landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, with Apollo 11 crewmate Buzz Aldrin.
It was Armstrong, the mission commander, who first emerged from the lunar module and placed the first human footprint on a celestial body beyond Earth. "That's one small step for a man — one giant leap for mankind," he declared.

Fields of Wonder
Hello again out there in cyberspace. I am happy to report that things are looking up since I last checked in. The Erie team that seemed invincible in their own park was noticeably more so back home in Akron. We swept all four games from Erie and didn't leave any of the outcomes in doubt, outscoring the SeaWolves 34-9 overall in the series. After the Erie series we went on the road to Binghamton and rolled through the series. The final game was a tight affair from start to finish resulting in a 3-2 victory, but the first two games were fairly lopsided with our offense propelling us out to early leads and the pitching holding on from there. The wins were badly needed for morale after our string of prior losses and they also pushed our "magic number" to clinch a playoff berth into the range where it becomes worth keeping track of at 26. As long as we keep our heads down and keep chugging along we'll be through that in no time (hopefully). The week was also a good one for me as I had three appearances and didn't allow a run, but more importantly I stranded all five runners I inherited. Overall, it was a good week for both myself and the team to build upon for the last month of the season and into the playoffs.
My non-baseball activities over the last week have not been overly exciting. I finished a few more books from the huge unread pile I have that I can't stop myself from adding to. The Last Dickens by Matthew Pearl was an interesting and engaging historical novel about the circumstances surrounding Charles Dickens' last novel that I had been meaning to read for a while, and I also started and finished two Pulitzer Prize winning poetic works: Native Guard by Natasha Tretheway and Practical Gods by Carl Dennis. Also, on the day off yesterday I watched the movie Waltz with Bashir while I was laying out a painting. The movie was excellent, probably the best movie I've seen from last year. The painting…didn't turn out exactly as I had hoped it would. A couple of the colors didn't work out as I would have liked, but since I'm basically doing it as a joke anyway I'm not sure it really matters. Well, I think I'm going to call that good for now so I can go start in on a new book (Loot by Sharon Waxman), do some of the cleaning up I intended to do yesterday and then head to the field. Until next time, I leave you with a poem by the great Langston Hughes and encourage you to visit this website to hear Hughes explain his inspiration for the poem and also give a reading of it.
The Negro Speaks of Rivers
by Langston Hughes
I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the
flow of human blood in human veins.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.
I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.
I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.
I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln
went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy
bosom turn all golden in the sunset.
I've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

Historic District Commission
The Woodstock Historic District Commission was created in 1995 by the adoption of a town ordinance, enabled by state legislation, to promote the educational, cultural, economic, and general welfare of the public through the preservation and protection of buildings, places, and districts of the Town of Woodstock that are important for their historical and architectural values. They are charged with reviewing modifications and additions to structures within a district that are visible from a public way.
The initiating efforts of residents of Woodstock Hill resulted in a comprehensive study of historic assets in a delineated area of the Hill. This study was reviewed by the state historical commission and deemed to be worthy of designation as a historic district. At Town Meeting, the approval of the Town Ordinance, enabling the Woodstock Hill Historic District was adopted. The ordinance may be amended at any time to include additional historic districts in the Town of Woodstock.
The criteria for review are a set of standards developed by the United States Secretary of the Interior. These standards are applied to new construction, alterations to existing structures and any exterior work other than replacement of building materials in kind and exterior paint color. The Commission does not regulate property use, but rather the aesthetic appropriateness to the historic property within the district.

This is no longer a conference game, but it doesn�t matter.
This is no longer a conference game, but it doesn�t matter.
The Dixon-Lejeune football game Friday night is big for both teams.
The winner of the nonconference game aboard Camp Lejeune will continue its winning streak. Kickoff is 7 p.m.
Dixon (4-0) is looking for its first 5-0 start in program history. The last time the Bulldogs were 4-0 was in 2003. Interesting enough, Dixon�s unbeaten streak that season ended with a 13-12 loss to Lejeune on Sept. 19.
The Bulldogs are coming off a 46-19 victory over North Duplin. Malik Simmons rushed for 200 yards and three touchdowns while Robbi Wyble added 115 yards and two touchdowns for Dixon, which is now in the East Central 2-A Conference after several years of being in the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference.
Lejeune, which is still in the CPC, is coming off a 42-12 win over Rosewood for its third consecutive victory. Jamaz Richardson rushed for 181 yards and four touchdowns for the Devilpups.
Dixon beat Lejeune 33-12 last year.
Southwest (3-1) at White Oak (2-2)
Southwest looks for its fourth consecutive win when it visits White Oak in a nonconference game while the Vikings hope to rebound from a loss last week.
Kickoff is 7 p.m.
The Stallions beat Swansboro 27-14 last week. Tyler Smith threw for 95 yards and 2 touchdowns.
White Oak is coming off a 31-24 loss at Ashley. Elijah Harris rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown for the Vikings.
White Oak hasn�t beaten Southwest since a 30-28 decision in 2001.
Swansboro (3-1) at Croatan (0-4)
Swansboro suffered its first loss last week, a 27-14 loss at Southwest.
The Pirates hope to move on as they visit Croatan in a nonconference game.
Swansboro got an 87-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and a 4-yard scoring run from Chris Phipps against Southwest.
Croatan is still looking for its first victory. The Cougars lost 14-7 to Topsail last week.
Croatan beat Swansboro 14-13 in overtime last year.
Jacksonville (3-1) at Topsail (3-1)
Jacksonville looks to rebound from its first defeat as the Cardinals visit Topsail for a nonconference game.
The Cardinals lost 28-0 to defending 4-A state champion New Bern last week. Jacksonville gave up 14 points in the first quarter and 14 more in the fourth.
Topsail beat Croatan 14-7 last week.
This is the first meeting between Jacksonville and Topsail.
Northside (2-2) at Havelock (4-0)
Northside defeated Mattamuskeet 73-6 last week, and the Monarchs will likely need another scoring onslaught if they are to win at two-time defending state 3-A champion Havelock.
Kickoff is 7 p.m.
Josh Cabrera had three touchdown receptions and an 80-yard interception return for a score last week for Northside. Quarterback Jake Erickson finished five passes for 116 yards.
Havelock beat Kinston 37-0 last week.
This is the first meeting between Northside and Havelock.
East Duplin (1-3) at North Lenoir (0-4)
East Duplin has lost three straight games, but the Panthers hope to end their losing streak when they visit North Lenoir in a nonconference game.
The Panthers lost 25-0 to James Kenan last week.
North Lenoir lost 52-33 at Southern Wayne last week.
This is the first meeting between the Panthers and the Hawks since EDHS beat North Lenoir 63-7 in 2010.
Richlands (2-2) at Jones Senior (0-4)
Richlands looks for its second consecutive victory as the Wildcats visit nonconference foe Jones Senior, which is in search for its first win.
Jamar Harrington rushed for 208 yards, including a 52-yard touchdown run, and had an 18-yard touchdown reception in Richlands� 31-6 win at South Lenoir last week. Quentin Fenn added 63 yards rushing and a touchdown while Ben Jackson threw for a score and ran for one.
Jones Senior lost 42-0 to Wallace-Rose Hill last week.
This is the first meeting between the Wildcats and Trojans since Richlands beat Jones Senior 28-14 in 2006.

Quasset School Advisory Committee
Please click HERE to view our new pamphlet.
Quasset School is a historical early American one-room school house, authentically preserved, continuing to provide ongoing educational instructions. It is located on Frog Pond Road, Woodstock, CT. It is open Sundays in July and August (except for July 4th) from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
The school is a living museum used by Woodstock school children. In third grade, students spend a week in the Quasset School learning about Woodstock history and experiencing what school life would have been like in the 1800's.
Woodstock opened its first school in 1690 when at town meeting the citizens voted to teach and instruct their children to "read and cipher". The original settlers of Woodstock were required by the Massachusetts Bay Colony to provide instruction to their children in 1705. The last regular session at Quasset was June of 1944, giving Quasset the distinction of being one of the oldest one-room schools in America in continuous use, a little over 200 years.
- Lewis Mills, who taught at Quasset for 3 years and later served as State Commissioner of Education. He was instrumental in establishing the use of grade levels.
- George Washington Wells, an alumnus, became a partner and president of The American Optical Company established in 1869. George and his three sons in an effort to preserve the handcrafted artifacts of a vanishing past created at the Old Sturbridge Village Museum.
- Anna Nelson, an alumna, became the model teacher for the town's schools. The bell on the Quasset School desk was hers when she taught at Quasset School.
- 1690: First Public School established in Woodstock.
- 1738: The first Quasset Schoolhouse (district #4) was built.
- 1854 (approx. date): The current Quasset Schoolhouse was originally built.
- 1944: The last regular session was held, giving Quasset the distinction of being one of the oldest one-room school districts in America in continuous use, a little more than 200 years.
- 1954: Quasset moved to it's present location on the grounds of the Elementary School.The U.S. Commissioner of Education and Connecticut Governor Lodge dedicated Quasset School as a National Shrine to Public Education.
- 1963: The Lt. Ambassador of England representing Woodstock, England presented Quasset School with a portrait of King George II and a replica of the Union Jack that would have flown for the 27 years that the school was under British rule. Two oak trees from the grounds of Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, England, birthplace of Winston Churchill, were planted near the building.

Who'll Be in Obama's Second-Term Cabinet
Several key appointments will provide the president with fresh advice.
As President Obama enters his second term, he'll see new faces sitting around the table in the Cabinet Room. At least seven of the 15 Cabinet posts will turn over in the course of the next few years as sitting members opt for other pursuits. An eighth, the already-vacant slot at the Commerce Department, will also be filled.
Second-term turnover is not unusual; most presidents see top aides leave after reelection. But for Obama, it will come after a remarkably steady Cabinet in his first term, which saw turnover in only two Cabinet posts -- secretaries of defense and commerce.
So who'll be out? In? Here's a scorecard:
State Department. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will leave her post, as she has already announced, although she says she will remain until a replacement is confirmed to allow for an orderly transition amid challenging work in the Middle East and elsewhere. There's still a fair chance Obama will tap U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice for the spot, even given the firestorm created by her preliminary assessment and subsequent explanation of the deadly consulate bombing in Benghazi, Libya.
But if Obama decides that pushing Rice would expend too much political capital in a rocky confirmation fight -- especially with fiscal cliff and other issues looming large at the start of his second term -- look for him to turn to Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004. Kerry would be a shoo-in for confirmation.
Defense Department. Secretary Leon Panetta is expected to remain only until the planned removal of forces in Afghanistan is well under way and looming defense spending cuts are negotiated. Among top candidates to replace Panetta: Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), a West Point graduate and close adviser to Obama on defense and foreign policy. Former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE), a moderate and often maverick Republican during his Senate career, who specialized in defense and foreign policy. Ashton Carter, current deputy defense secretary with lengthy Pentagon service under his belt. And Michèle Flournoy, under secretary of defense for policy in the Clinton administration. If tapped, she'd be the first female secretary of defense.
Treasury Department. Secretary Timothy Geithner will leave in a couple of months, although he may be asked to stay a bit longer to help negotiate key planks of a deficit reduction deal with Congress if one is not reached in December. Among top contenders for the top spot at Treasury are Jack Lew, current White House chief of staff and former Obama budget director, and Erskine Bowles, cochairman of the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction commission, which called for spending cuts and revenue hikes to tackle the long-term deficit. Two other possibilities: Gene Sperling, director of the administration's National Economic Council, and Roger Altman, a former deputy Treasury secretary with strong ties to Wall Street.
Justice Department. Attorney General Eric Holder will stay on for a year or so, then leave. Sure to be eyed by the White House as his replacement is Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D), a former corporate lawyer for Texaco and Coca-Cola and a top Justice official during the Clinton administration. Patrick's term as governor ends in 2014, and he may be considering a 2016 presidential bid. But he could be lured away for the high-profile post if Obama calls on him.
Other top possibilities to head the Justice Department are Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), a former state attorney general, as well as Lisa Madigan, current Illinois state attorney general, who developed close working ties with Obama when both were in the Illinois state Senate.
Commerce Department. The open position of secretary of commerce may be filled by U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk or Karen Mills, head of the Small Business Administration. Kirk would push for ratification of more trade agreements and for more U.S. business opportunities in Asia, two top priorities for Obama. Mills would bring a small business mindset to an agency that has typically worked with large corporations to improve U.S. business markets and exports.
Energy. Secretary Steven Chu, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, is widely expected to leave his post next year in part over his frustration with the lack of movement on climate change legislation and also over the agency's handling of the Solyndra solar company subsidy fiasco. Senate confirmation could be tricky for this position, especially if a nominee championed sweeping climate change and energy cap-and-trade legislation, which was essentially shelved in Obama's first term. Among names that will be considered is former Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND), a mild-mannered lawmaker respected by Senate colleagues.
Agriculture. Current Secretary Tom Vilsack is likely to stay on about a year, largely to help shepherd the major farm reauthorization bill through Congress and to direct drought assistance. A top possible replacement is former Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), who headed the Agriculture Committee and who has strong relations with House and Senate leaders. Dorgan and his colleague, retiring Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND), are also being talked up for this spot.
Transportation. Secretary Ray LaHood, a former Republican congressman, is hinting at leaving next year. The front-runner to set federal transportation policy after LaHood leaves is Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D), who already is a de facto transportation expert managing one of the busiest road, rail and shipping areas in the world. He'd be a high-profile Hispanic on Obama's team.
Another big name on the short list for transportation secretary is former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D), who has been a staunch supporter of Obama and advocate for national infrastructure modernization. But since Rendell is currently a lobbyist, the White House would have to ease its general policy of not naming lobbyists to the administration if it wanted to choose him.

Brewery to release Game of Thrones beer
A New York brewery will begin offering a Game of Thrones-themed beer in early 2013.
Ommegang announced this week that it is partnering with HBO to launch beers inspired by the channel's critically acclaimed drama Game of Thrones. The first beer will be called Iron Throne Blonde Ale, and it will be launched on March 31 to coincide with the beginning of the show's third season, the brewery announced in a statement.
The beer will be available nationwide on draft and in 750 ml bottles by mid- to late-March, Ommegang said in the release. The beer will be priced at $8.40 per bottle.

Ommegang said the series of beers will be tied directly to "themes, characters and nuances of the medieval-like fantasy realm of Westeros and the surrounding kingdoms."
The Huffington Post reported that three additional beer styles will be released with future seasons of the show.
