Hyde Schools lose lauded after-school program

Hyde Schools has lost its federal grant for Hyde 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC), which since 2010 funded after-school programs and other community enrichment, all free for Hyde County families.

The after-school program served around 200 students county-wide, offering academic support and enrichment in S.T.E.M, arts, social emotional learning, and health and wellness. In the 2023-24 school year alone, the program featured Skills USA, Soccer, Cooking, Sewing, Radio Broadcasting, Science Olympiad, Quiz Bowl, Photography, Music, Film, Dance, Wool Felting, Cheer, Battle of the Books and AIG Talent Development, Hyde County schools said in a press release.

Hyde’s program also has been honored at the national level for its excellence and impact.

Hyde lost out because the grant priority process was given to organizations and schools that have never run a 21st Century program before, the press release said.

“We were fortunate to have it for so long,” said Ocracoke School Principal Jeanie Owens in an interview, noting that the program primarily served elementary students. “Our first priority is ensuring our Friday afternoon early releases are covered for parents needing childcare.”

She said the school will have a Friday Afternoon Kids’ Club for students in grades K-8 beginning at 11:30 am (the Friday dismissal time) and ending at 3 p.m.

This club will focus on tutoring, enrichment, and fun activities for students and will be run by Teaching Assistants Jessica Bennink Howard, Stacey O’Neal and Yessenia Trejo Contreras.

High School students will be encouraged to serve as volunteers during Friday Kids’ Club, earning community service hours.

In the meantime, Owens will research how to meet the “needs of our parents and students in a way that fits our abilities as a school and as a district.”

Because the CCLC paid for tutors, they won’t be available, but the school also will restructure homework, she said.

Moreover, the new weekly schedule, consisting of 4 ½ student days and teacher meetings only on Fridays, will give teachers more time after school Monday to Thursday to help students.

“We are committed to maintaining the high-quality student enrichment programs started by the 21st Century program, including our beloved cheerleading squad, Quiz Bowl teams, and resources for Battle of the Books (to name a few),” Owens said in a statement. “We have a very dedicated and energetic staff who will make sure that our students do not miss out on any of the opportunities they had in the past.”

“While this is a challenging time for our afterschool program, we remain dedicated to exploring alternative funding sources and partnerships to provide valuable after school activities for our students in the future,” Dr. Melanie Shaver, superintendent, said in the Hyde Schools release said.

The 21st Century program was under the direction of Nancy Leach, the director of student services for Hyde County Schools. She coordinates a myriad of services relating to the physical and mental health of the students, district scholarships, juvenile crime prevention, Title IX, memorandums of understanding with school/community partners and other grants.

In 2022, Leach was one of four professionals in the state who received the Emerging Afterschool Champion Award by the North Carolina Center for Afterschool Programs.

Leach told the Observer that a number of long-standing 21st Century programs lost funding this go-round.

She also said that she’s scheduled to present a talk at the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction in Greensboro next week about Hyde’s program.

“When they told me about losing funding, they asked if I could still present,” she said. “So, I created a 45-minute presentation titled ‘Building Enrichment Opportunities for Success.’”

Reminiscences of Ocracoke Island

August 1, 2024

Editor’s note: This is a translation from what was first published in French

By Carole Sierpien

1964 and I was only 8 years old. We had set up our tent in the village campsite, where today there is a large parking lot, opposite Silver Lake. The quay accommodated fishing boats and a few sailboats; In the afternoon we took the path to the beach, near the airport, or my father took us by car on the sandy path towards the southern tip. He threw a line into the sea and I found small lakes left by the tide to dive into.

The beach! It was my first encounter with waves, these companions who taught me to keep my head up and my eyes open, otherwise I risked buying myself a cup of salt water! I learned to jump to avoid them, to let myself be lifted by them and then to dive into their hollows before they broke. I remember the time that my sister, seeing a very big wave approaching, shouted “Jesus, Mary, Joseph…” to warn us, but it was too late. Even today, we laugh about it.

In the evening, we set off on foot along the sandy paths of the village to visit the small cemeteries. My mother really liked cemeteries. It was moving to find the one where, over the course of a year, several children had died. The flu perhaps or some other misfortune. On the way back from our walk, we would stop at the Community Store for ice cream and sit on a bench next to Jack’s Store. Sometimes my father took us to the bay to spear fish for sole. What a thrill to set foot on a stingray that was buried in the bottom!

We came back every year for our summer vacation. Then the years passed. During my years of residence in Chapel Hill, I came there sometimes, including once in the depths of winter. I took a room in the Island Inn. I took my meals there with the few fishermen and other guests and I took long walks on the beach, swept by winds, rain and foam.

Since 2019, I have renewed my visits to Ocracoke, almost every year. I was sad to see the disaster, human and material, caused by Dorian. Frequent and devastating storms eat away a little more each year at the north of the island, almost unrecognizable now. And I don’t know what to think of the large buildings around the village: second homes, often rented, but which contrast with the relative modesty of the village. I am, myself, one of the elements that contribute to the prosperity of the island both as a visitor, but also I am just a passerby, someone who comes to enjoy the beauty of the island without providing any real help.

On a happier note, I admit that the island has become a mythical place for me. A place that connects me to my past, certainly, but also a place of contemplation and tranquility, a place where I can step back, where I play in the waves and look for shells, where wonder occurs where I least expected: a little green frog on a chair, a sand dollar on the water’s edge, a red setting sun over the bay, a warm meeting with Peter Vankevich who invited me to pass by the island radio WOVV to broadcast songs from Quebec.

Red Drum fishing tournament to benefit local fishing

July 31, 2024

0

Correction: The Ocracoke Observer in the August print issue incorrectly said that the Ocracoke Seafood Company is launching this tournament. It is not. The Ocracoke Red Drum Shootout is operating under the umbrella of the Ocracoke Foundation this year but will form their own nonprofit starting next year. The Observer apologizes for the error.

The first Red Drum Shootout, a catch-and-release fishing tournament from boats, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 21.

Anglers of all skill levels are invited to test their skills competing for the longest and most Red Drum in or offshore of Ocracoke Island.

The general (Level 1) entry fee is $150 before Aug. 30. After that, the entry fee goes up to $200. Three additional levels also are available and described in the rules on the webpage http://www.ocracokereddrum.com.

Along with the main event, a lunch and awards ceremony with cash prizes and trophies will follow at the Berkley Barn.

Proceeds from entries, merchandise sales and sponsorships will benefit the nonprofit Ocracoke Working Watermen’s Association to support education and outreach efforts, and for the ongoing preservation and renovation of the island’s last remaining fish house.

The tournament is seeking sponsors, from $250 to $5,000.

Sponsor perks and details also are available on the website and company logos are due by Sept. 1.

De Carole Sierpien

1964 et je n’avais que 8 ans. Nous avions installé notre tente dans le camping du village, là où aujourd’hui se trouve un grand stationnement, en face de Silver Lake. Le quai accueillait des bateaux de pêche et quelques voiliers; l’après-midi on prenait le chemin de la plage, près de l’aéroport ou bien, mon père nous amenait en voiture sur le chemin sableux vers la pointe sud. Lui lançait une ligne à la mer et moi, je me trouvais des petits lacs laissés par la marée pour m’y plonger.

La plage! C’était ma première rencontre avec des vagues, ces compagnons qui m’ont appris à garder la tête haute et les yeux ouverts, sinon je risquais de me payer une tasse d’eau salée! J’ai appris à sauter pour les éviter, à me laisser soulever par elles et puis à plonger dans leur creux avant qu’elles ne cassent. Je me rappelle la fois que ma sœur, en voyant s’approcher une très grosse vague, a crié « Jésus, Marie, Joseph … » pour nous avertir, mais il était trop tard. Encore aujourd’hui, on en rit.

Le soir, nous partions à pied dans les chemins sableux du village pour visiter les petits cimetières. Ma mère aimait beaucoup les cimetières. C’était émouvant de retrouver celui où, le temps d’une année, plusieurs enfants étaient décédés. La grippe peut-être ou un autre malheur. Au retour de notre marche, nous nous arrêtions au Community Store pour une crème glacée et nous nous asseyions sur un banc à côté de Jack’s Store. Des fois, mon père nous amenait dans la baie pour pêcher la sole au harpon. Quelle émotion de mettre le pied sur une raie qui était enfoui dans le fond !

Nous sommes revenus tous les ans pour nos vacances d’été. Puis les années ont passé. Pendant mes années de résidence à Chapel Hill, j’y venais parfois, dont une fois dans le creux de l’hiver. J’avais pris une chambre dans le Island Inn. J’y prenais mes repas avec les quelques pêcheurs et autres convives et je faisais de longues marches sur la plage, balayée de vents, de pluie et d’écume.

Depuis 2019, j’ai renouvelé mes visites à Ocracoke, presqu’à chaque année. J’étais triste de voir le désastre, humain et matériel, causé par Dorian. Les tempêtes fréquentes et dévastatrices grugent un peu plus à chaque année le nord de l’île, presque non reconnaissable maintenant. Et je ne sais pas quoi penser des grosses constructions sur le pourtour du village : des résidences secondaires, souvent louées, mais qui contrastent avec la relative modestie du village. Je suis, moi-même, un des éléments qui contribuent à la fois à la prospérité de l’île en tant que visiteuse, mais aussi je ne suis qu’une passante, quelqu’un qui vient profiter de la beauté de l’île sans y apporter un vrai secours.

Sur une note plus joyeuse, j’avoue que l’île est devenue pour moi un lieu mythique. Un lieu qui me relie à mon passé, certes, mais aussi un lieu de contemplation et de quiétude, un lieu où je peux prendre du recul, où je joue dans les vagues et cherche des coquillages, où l’émerveillement se produit là où je m’y attends le moins : une petite grenouille verte sur une chaise, un dollar de sable sur le bord de l’eau, un soleil couchant rouge sur la baie, une rencontre chaleureuse avec Peter Vankevich qui m’a invité à passer sur la radio insulaire WOVV pour diffuser les chansons du Québec.

Bystanders respond to purported minor shark bite on Ocracoke

Hannah Smith sprang into action when a woman in the water at the lifeguard beach late Saturday afternoon ran onto the shore exclaiming that she was bitten.

At first, the woman thought it had been a crab, but Hannah, 23, is certified in wilderness first aid saw the multiple wounds on the woman’s foot and knew differently.

It was around 6 p.m., after the lifeguards had left, and getting near low tide (7:37 p.m.) and Hannah, who was on the beach with her sister, Bethany, noticed a man whistling to a woman out near the sand bar to come in.

“I noticed these fish were jumping out of the water beaching themselves and the seagulls were having a field day,” Hannah said. “And I looked down and her feet are, like, all torn up, both feet, one worse than the other,” she said. “The left foot had a really big incision along the top arch and some along the heel and scratch marks.”

Hannah got a towel and wrapped the woman’s foot, sat the woman down in a chair and got her feet elevated, “which is what you’re supposed to do to keep the blood from pooling and to get it to clot.”

Bethany, called 911, told the dispatcher it was a shark bite though not that bad and when the dispatcher asked if she wanted an ambulance, Bethany said that the patient didn’t want to pay for an ambulance.

Several bystanders helped keep pressure on the woman’s foot and a group helped carry the woman to her car.

“Everyone (on the beach) was kind of helping,” she said.

In the parking lot, they washed the wound with water and someone else had a first aid kit, which Hannah used to further treat the wound.

Bethany called her grandmother, Carol Pahl, with whom the sisters are staying, and Pahl went to the scene.

Upon seeing no ambulance, Pahl called 911 again and she was told that the EMS crew was off the island and could not send anyone.

“I said, ‘What? You have nothing? No backup plan?” Pahl said in an interview. The dispatcher said to wrap towels around the wound.

Pahl said she called the Hatteras Ferry terminal, to ask them to hold the ferry on the Ocracoke side, four times and they didn’t answer.

“But, I have to say, they called me back,” she said. “They must have seen that I kept calling and they did call me back.”

Then the injured woman and her companion left.

No one had gotten the woman’s name though Bethany learned she was visiting from Virginia.

Hannah said people on the beach saw several sharks with black tips on their fins going at the jumping fish.

“My amazing granddaughters stayed super calm and were able to get her wrapped up and with others helped her get into her car,” Pahl wrote in a Facebook post about the incident.

She noted that we all have so much faith in 911.

“We expect when we call 911, they’re going to be able to help but in this case, they said, ‘Sorry. There’s nothing we can do,’” she said. “That’s scary. I thought we had two teams (of EMS). That’s what we were told. What would (have happened) if this had been worse?”

Randal Mathews, Ocracoke’s county commissioner, said when contacted Sunday afternoon that he, too, thought the island had two EMS teams, but acknowledged that there are job openings on the Hyde County EMS staff so there’s a personnel shortage.

“We increased the pay so that we could compete, and we increased the budget by a quarter million,” he said about the budget.

Hyde County Manager Kris Noble said in a statement on Monday that the increased funding, effective July 1, will allow for a higher level of coverage and to implement a new leadership structure.

“While this is very positive for the future, we are still in the process of hiring those new positions, as it has been less than 30 days since the new fiscal year (began),” she said, and building the EMS staff is primary.

“On (Saturday), unforeseen staffing issues gave us only one unit and it had left the island,” she said, adding that this is not the norm and it was not planned.

“We very much realize that we need two units, at minimum, to respond to avoid this very thing from happening and we are working towards that goal as aggressively as we can to reach it and avoid a situation like this from occurring again,” she said.
New staff that will come into service the first week of August and Hyde is doing a hiring assessment today.

“While we really are moving at an impressive speed to bring people in, I know we can’t get fully staffed soon enough,” she said. “We will keep working towards making our system the best that it can be and providing a system that residents and visitors alike have faith in during their times of crisis.”

Gail Covington, a family nurse practitioner who has Island Mobile Medical Care, noted that a young boy also was bit on the leg about the same time Saturday as the woman visitor.

She said she’d gotten a call from the parents after they’d gotten bandages at the Variety Store. The mother sent Covington a photo of the wound, which Covington confirmed was a shark bite.

“It was a full jaw mark at the ankle and heel, but it was a small shark,” she said. The family declined treatment and did not give Covington their name.

Covington sees patients on a cash basis and does not take medical insurance but said that had she been called about the beach incident, she could have responded since the beach would be considered “roadside assistance,” for which her insurance covers her.

Caveat to beach goers: It is well known that sharks tend to feed in the late afternoon and early evening.

In addition to the first place in editorials, it also won a third-place award. Editorials are written by Observer co-publishers Connie Leinbach, editor, and Peter Vankevich.

The first-place editorial was “What can we do about NC 12 ” and the third-place editorial was “Why we need community newspapers.”

Leinbach also won first place for “ledes,” which are the first sentences of stories. That story was “Marci Mason’s daily detritus duty draws honor,” and she won first place in the Religion & Faith category for “The miracle church of Swan Quarter.”

Vankevich captured third place in Religion & Faith category for his reporting on the new Stella Maris Catholic Chapel in “New Catholic chapel opens on Ocracoke.”

Leinbach also won third place in Spot Photography for a photo she took of a morning ferry in the Hatteras Inlet. Photo appears above.

The winning stories were published on ocracokeobserver.com between March 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024, Although the Observer prints a monthly issue 10 times a year, it competes in the online division in the press association’s annual contest.

NCPA’s annual contest is one of the largest in the country, with over 3,500 entries submitted in 2023 from more than 125 newspapers and news organizations.

All winners and additional awards will be officially announced on Sept. 19 at the Raleigh convention.

Born on September 21, 1951, in Morehead City, he was a son of the late Mildred Garrish O’Neal and Ronald T. O’Neal Sr.

Ronnie, as he was known, lived a life full of dedication and passion both on and off the waters that he loved so dearly.

After attending the College of the Albemarle, Ronnie pursued his passion for the ocean as a charter boat captain.

He was the proud owner of the “Miss Kathleen,” guiding countless fishing trips and sharing his love for the waters around Ocracoke.

Ronnie excelled as a basketball player through high school and college, demonstrating his dedication and athleticism on the court.

A devoted member of the Ocracoke United Methodist Church, Ronnie was deeply rooted in his community and cherished the relationships he built there.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Ben O’Neal.

Ronnie is survived by his cherished wife, Kathleen, and his beloved son, Ryan Thomas O’Neal, along with numerous friends and extended family who will miss him deeply.

In keeping with Ronnie’s wishes, there will be no service at this time.

Memorial donations may be made in his honor to the Ocracoke Working Watermen’s Association, reflecting his deep connection to the maritime community.

Ronnie’s legacy will endure in the hearts of those who knew him and in the waters he navigated with such expertise and care.
