Adults can make a positive difference to children. Create opportunities for kids during this midsummer month when most children are not in school by doing three things:1. Commit to do one special thing with a child in July—make some kind of positive difference for that child.2. Support an organization that focuses on children—there are many to choose from.3. Communicate with elected leaders to make children a priority in policy and budget issues they address.

SOCCER SHOWDOWN - The soccer teams from Spring Creek and Southern Wayne did battle twice last week, on Wednesday and Thursday eve-nings, with the Saints kicking their way to a 3-1 victory in each match.

gency personnel.He said the first thing is to be prepared

to handle emergency type issues and make sure there is a plan in place for known res-idents with health issues and that sort of thing.

He said there is also a plan in place to make sure main traffic thoroughfares are cleared and then the same for secondary streets and roads.

He said the task of debris cleanup is a significant part of it, because the town will do whatever is needed to assist utility com-panies in their work to restore power.

He said seven of the town’s 13 sewer lift stations have generator backup power, as well as the treatment facility.

Adding generator backup to the remain-ing six lift stations is currently a top prior-ity, he said.

Outlaw’s Bridge Univer-salist Church, 4408 N. NC Hwy. 111, Seven Springs, will hold services on Sun-day, Sept. 6 with Jimmy Merritt to speak at 11 a.m. This week’s services will be titled “Jimmy at the Piano.”

In the spirit of the holiday weekend and unofficial end

of Summer, this will be a casual service of music and improvisation by our Music Director, Jimmy Merritt. Jimmy will be playing and we will be joining him in singing some of our favor-ite Unitarian Universalist hymns. Please join us for a relaxed service of beautiful music.

At Outlaw’s Bridge Uni-versalist Church, we wel-come everyone to worship

in the tradition of our lib-eral faith without regard to race, ethnicity, sexual ori-entation, gender identity, ability or economic status.

Send church announce-ments to the Tribune by noon on Friday for the next week’s issue. Late submissions will have to wait one week. Please note that we can no longer print notices received in the same week as the event.

17,756 students. Over the next nine days of school of the traditional calendar, the 2014/2015 enrollment grew to 19,084.

Wayne Early/Middle College High and Wayne School of Engineering students re-turned August 6.

The first day of school was memorable for students at Grantham Middle and Spring Creek Middle, who spent their first day of classes in brand new schools. Students at two high schools arrived to ongoing con-struction and renovation projects.

Thanks in part to the opening of the two new schools, enrollment at most schools in the Tribune coverage area was down com-pared to the first day last year. The old

Grantham School, now Grantham Elemen-tary, dropped from 823 students to 449, with most of them, 381 in all, moving to the new middle school. The opening of Spring Creek Middle caused enrollment at the high school to drop from 949 to 586, with SCMS opening its doors with 595 students.

Carver Elementary was down slightly, from 570 to 538, as were Brogden Primary (785-782), Brogden Middle (496-459), and Mount Olive Middle (436-399). Spring Creek Elementary, which also sent students to the middle school, fell from 941 to 797.

Enrollment at Southern Wayne High School rose slightly over this time a year ago, from 1,010 to 1,029.

EditorTraditionally known for

its football at this time of year, perhaps North Dup-lin is destined to be a fútbol school this fall.

The Rebels improved to 2-0 on their soccer season last Wednesday, rolling to a 3-1 victory over visiting Lejeune. All three North Duplin goals came in the first half. The Devilpups (0-2-0) scored less than a minute into the second half,

but didn't come any closer before the game was called early due to bad weather.

Wiber Velasquez scored 90 seconds into the match on an assist from Dario Castenada. Juan Garcia tallied an unassisted goal in the 17th minute, then as-sisted on a Castenada goal in the 34th minute.

The only thing that pre-vented the Rebels from pushing the score even higher were 10 offsides calls assessed on North Duplin

during the first half.Luis Martinez had a pair

of saves in goal for the Reb-els.

North Duplin sustained its first loss of the season later in the week against Wallace-Rose Hill, but hope to get back on the winning track Tuesday night at home against South Le-noir, a team they beat 5-0 in their season opener. The Rebels will visit Lejeune on Wednesday.
