In faith, O Lord, you guided me Through every day of the year; Come doubt or pain, Your hand was always near. The year was long, each day unknown, Till I had trod it through; But ever did I walk secure Because you walked there too. That year is past and all its days, Now finished, lie behind; But reaching out ahead of me A strange new year I find. So strange, untried, these newer days But, Lord, I have no fear For I know well that every hour Your presence will be near. Tomorrow is a day to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who was born Jan. 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Ga. His father and maternal grandfather were both Baptist ministers and his paternal grandfather spent most of his life as a sharecropper. He graduated from Morehouse College and com- pleted advanced studies at Crozer Theological Seminary and Boston University. He was ordained a minister in 1947 and in 1953 he mar- ried Coretta Scott of Marion, Ala. Dr. King became the pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery in 1954. He began his civil rights crusade in 1955. He led boycotts and demon- strations and tried to convince people that civil rights could be won through nonviolent protests but he often became the target of violence. He was stabbed in New York City, stoned in Chicago, his home in Montgomery was bombed and he was shot and killed April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn., by James Earl Ray. Millions marched from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument Aug. 28, 1963, where Dr. King said, “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of it’s creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal.’ ” Milestones Birthday greetings to Janette Gillikin, Ethelle Wills, Janie Rose, Marty Willis, Ailene Newkirk, Christa Laxton, Matthew Lawrence, Travis Bartram, Gracey Alexandra Lawrence and Lee Davis, today and Teresa G.

Otway Fire and Rescue Otway Fire and Rescue held their regular monthly meeting Jan. 13. A new name was proposed for membership and will be voted on next month. Refreshments were served to honor the members that have birthdays during this quarter. It was reported that the Red Cross Bloodmobile held on Jan. 10, was a success. Sixty- one folks signed up and 53 pints of blood were collected helping us surpass our goal of 40 pints. The Red Cross had sent out this message: “Just as everyone is getting back into a routine following the holidays, Mother Nature is doing her best to keep people off the roads across much of the U.S. Severe winter storm Hercules dumped deep snow in the Northeast and extreme cold is penetrating the central U.S. As a result, the American Red Cross expects blood drive cancellations and low donor turnouts in these areas. And yet, despite some donors hav- ing a reduced ability to donate, patients will continue to need blood products. Donors in unaffected areas are urged to help make up the donations lost in the weather-impacted areas. It’s the blood already on the shelves that helps save lives in an emergency.” So special thanks to all who turned out and helped us make our goal and be able to help ensure that hospitals and patients have the blood they need. The next blood drive will be held Friday, March 7, from noon until 5 p.m. School news Applications are available at East Carteret High School for the Gloucester Community Club’s Woodrow and Mary Dudley Price Scholarship.

Editor’s Note: Ruthie King will be the new correspon- dent for the Atlantic and Sea Level communities. To contact her, call 241-0504 or email [email protected]. Hello, everyone I am hon- ored to be your new corre- spondent for the Atlantic and Sea Level communities. Although I am from “Off,” I sure do love these communi- ties and everyone has been so welcoming to me during the past 11 years that I have lived here. It is with great pleasure that I get to share with others about these two communities; how- ever, I will need your help to provide information to share. So please contact me and tell me what is happening with your church, school, organiza- tion or anything of interest that you would like to share. Prayer list Please keep all of our loved ones who are sick, in the hospital, Snug Harbor and Heritage Health Center in your prayers. Also, pray for our local fishermen and thank God for the wonderful bounty in our pristine waters that our fisher- men gather for all us to enjoy.

Snug Harbor news Thursday, Jan. 23, is National Pie Day and Snug Harbor is inviting guests to come and share with them your favorite pie. It can be a chicken potpie to apple, pecan — whatever is your best. There are so many of you who cook marvelously so I know that some really good pies are going to show up for this event. It will be at 6:30 p.m. If you would like to share your recipe, bring that, too. Talk about a YUMMY time! School news The eighth grade class will be leaving for their annual Washington, D.C., trip this week. We wish you all safe travels and lots of fun. Parents and students both work hard with fundraisers to make this trip happen each year. Great job! Church news We are so blessed to have wonderful churches in our community. Even if you have never been to church before, trust me their doors are always open and with God’s love you will be welcomed. Sea Level Missionary Baptist Church welcomes their new pastor, Jonathan Behler and his wife Marla and their children, Mary Grace and Gabriel. They come to us from the Community Baptist Church in Havelock where Rev. Behler was the pastor for the last five years. So make sure you say “hello” and welcome them to our community. Also, we welcome Darcy Knight who is the (almost) new pastor at the Sea Level United Methodist Church. Ms. Knight has been in our community for about six months so make sure she feels welcome, too! Community history Clay Fulcher told me a story about a cold winter that occurred in 1918. His grandmother, Hopi Elizabeth “Bettie” Fulcher and her husband Clayton, went to the Pilentary on the Banks to visit her parents Alvin and Amelia Mason who at the time were the caretakers of the Pilentary Hunting Club on the Banks. Bettie Fulcher was pregnant and went into labor while on the Banks. Core Sound was complete- ly frozen over so they put Mrs. Fulcher on an ox cart and took her up the island to the Core Banks Coast Guard Station; where they put her on a skiff and pulled her across the sound to Atlantic where she gave birth to a daughter named Marian Agnes. Unfortunately, the baby girl did not live but just a few days and died from lockjaw. During the 1930s Clayton had a boat built by Ambrose Fulcher and named the boat the Marian A. This boat is still actively fishing in Core Sound today, 2014. Ruthie King — 241-0504
