Continuing to bring you the local news, events and resources for the Sneads Ferry, North Carolina area is what we do best. Please feel free to drop us a comment from time to time on how we may improve.
If you have read or know anything about the North Carolina fishing industry and the fishermen, you already know about the downward spiral of their businesses. Recently, I read another important article in the Fayetteville Observer titled Our View: Government can help save our state’s dying fishing industry.
When you think of the support given farmers (another group having a hard time), why does it not make sense to help in similar fashion our state's commercial fishermen? To me, it makes perfect sense to work towards preserving an industry that supports the local economy as well as bring us much better tasting seafood than the imports ever can!
Please take a moment to read the article in the Observer and, if you agree, contact your governmental leaders to state your opinion. The politicians work for us and need to know what we want for our great state.
The choice is yours!
When coming to the beach for family fun in the sun, don't overlook the other wonderful offerings our small waterfront community has to offer. A fine example of the Sneads Ferry offerings is brought to you by W. L. Bradley of Bradley Farms.
Bradley Farms has a produce stand setup on 210 Highway just before the 4 corners intersection (Rt. 172 and 210 Hwy) in front of Yopps Marine. Each Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Bradley Farms brings fresh produce to include items like watermelons, tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, snap beans, and much more. The staff of Bradley Farms are quite knowledgeable and courteous with prices often much better than local grocery stores.

As I was searching the web taking care of business, I noticed an online advertisement that caught my attention unlike so many others.
So often in the Sneads Ferry area, if you visit a doctor's office, you will see several people there with allergy problems. This is especially true during the Spring and Fall seasons as our beautiful real estate releases its pollen, mold, etc.
Well, today I noticed an advertisement for NASONEX where you can receive a free bottle (30 day supply) and you can get $10 off your next prescription. *By signing up online at https://www.nasonex.com/nasx/application?namespace=coupon&event=tds_coupon you can be eligible to receive another $10 off each subsequent prescription for a year.
As a NASONEX user, I understand the need for the product and I also understand the cost! Hopefully, this may help provide some relief for you.
*Note: See details at the NASONEX site for eligibility requirements.
As another anniversary of that September 11th tragic day rolls by, I am reminded of the US soldiers who are around the world standing for us. For those of you who may not vividly remember the events of that day, here is another news site with the details of 9/11/2001.
For me, it doesn't matter if you support George W. Bush or not. It doesn't matter if you feel we need to pull our troops out today, tommorrow or sometime in the far distant future. It does matter that we all learn from those events and find a way to make things right for all.
Do I remember? Yes, I certainly do remember that day all too well.
At the time, I was located in one of the tallest buildings in Richmond, Virginia near the Federal Reserve Bank. When the first communications came across the news channels, our work area had received word via email that problems were going on in New York. One of our prior co-workers had just moved there and was working within a few blocks of the Trade Center.
When the second plane hit the tower, we were all concerned what other tall buildings would be under attack. Then we would see first hand what could happen...
Working with the Virginia Department of Transporation in the computer area, we had online access to the videocams overlooking the Virginia roadways. When the Pentagon was struck, a cam on a nearby bridge was knocked over and hanging by its cords upside down. It was then facing directly along the back of the plane looking right straight into the Pentagon where it crashed. This was one of the most sobering sights I have personally witnessed.
Please understand there are thousands of people that have been affected much more than I due to these events. Many died. Others traumatized for life. And yet, others go on with their lives picking up the pieces and recovering.
Let us never forget the trauma that has occurred nor, let us forget to say thanks to the heroes of those times who were willing to risk so much for so many.
911... Never forget!!!
Recently, there is another article speaking about the demise of commercial shrimping and fishing in the Fayetteville Observer titled Sea Change: The demise of N.C. shrimping. If you want to better understand the plight and feelings of today's commercial fisherman, this is an absolutely must read.
Sneads Ferry North Carolina real estate by the waterfront of the New River and the Intracoastal Waterway is going up pricewise almost daily. The commercial fishermen and other workers are having an extremely difficult time raising enough money just to live where they have been for years. Condos, townhouses and expensive waterfront and waterview homes are driving up the cost of living and taxes leaving them no where to go.
As an American citizen who has served in the military, I often hear the pros and cons of the current fighting around the world including opinions about our government leaders. What seems to be forgotten is the soldiers.
I would like to take a moment to say thanks for every one who serves this nation and also congratulations to the new Veterans of Foreign Wars North Carolina Post 9983 Topsail Island Post.
There are pictures, meeting information and contact details regarding the new Topsail Island Post online at http://vfwwebcom.org/nc/post9983/10088/Welcome+to+VFW+Post+9983-The+New+Topsail+Island+Post.html.
If you are an eligible veteran, I would encourage you to check out the new post and join. If not, I would ask you to think about those who protect our freedoms even with their very lives. Maybe that is worth a "Thank You" from time to time.
