In 1915, a new version of the Ku Klux Klan, targeting blacks, Jews, Catholics and immigrants, was founded by William Jo seph Simmons. In 1947, movie studio executives meeting in New York agreed to blacklist the “Hollywood Ten” who’d been cited for con tempt of Congress the day before. In 1963, the body of President John F.

North Carolina still in recovery mode from Hurricane Florence News about environmental events are justifiably focused on the fire disasters in California right now. Closer to home, though, towns near the North Carolina coast still aren’t finished with Hurricane Florence. As Florence approached the shoreline, it became clear by Sept. 11 that her target would be Cape Fear. That’s the triangular area where the Cape Fear River meets the ocean near Southport. Close by are popular beach towns like Kure (pro nounced like “curry”) Beach, Carolina Beach, and the Fort Fisher National Historic Site. Above Wilmington, the Northeast Cape Fear River joins the Cape Fear. East of the city, Wrights- ville Beach is a barrier island filled with homes, condos and hotels. On Sept. 14, Florence hit Wrightsville Beach dead-on. The storm’s path was similar to 1996 hurricane Fran. Living in Wilmington at that time, we sat through it, listening to 115 mph winds pounding the house and watch ing flying trees through slots I had made in the plywood boards protecting the windows. Pine cones were hitting the ground like can nonballs, penetrating a foot deep. But Fran didn’t cause the major flooding that hurricane Floyd later brought to the state’s coastal plain in 1999. This year, Flor ence repeated Floyd’s pattern with extreme rain and a storm surge driving water up the Northeast Cape Fear River. North of Wilmington, some areas in Pender County are particularly vulnerable. The town of Burgaw, elevation 48 feet, isn’t near the ocean. But neighborhoods next to the Northeast Cape Fear took the brunt of the river’s floodwaters. River Bend Subdivision, sandwiched between the Holly Shelter Swamp and the Angola Swamp, was known to be flood prone ever since it first sat under water in August 1992. After Florence, local media reported that even raised houses, built on stilts 4 feet above the ground, were flooded 5 feet up the first floor. Nearby, Holland’s Shelter Creek Restaurant was a famous landmark. The structure sat on the creek’s bank and partly over the water until Florence’s enor mous flood waves ripped it off its founda tion and destroyed it. Now, in November, people are still clear ing out debris from devastated homes. Residents of Burgaw and its surroundings in Pender County continue to be dependent on volunteer help and donations. The Wilm ington Star-News quoted a resident saying “don’t ask someone what they need — we have nothing. Take them a casserole.” Rudi Kiefer, Ph.D., is a professor at Brenau University, teaching physical and health sciences on Brenau’s Georgia cam puses and in China.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY ARIES (March 21 -April 19). There is nothing to hurry to or from. Don’t be pushed around by the bully of space-time. A few moments will not make a difference, except in the feel ing you carry around with you. Relax. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). An thropomorphizing animals has been commonplace through out human history, though you’ll find it spiritually energiz ing to honor the animal-ness of animals and to regard your own animal-ness as equally worthy of respect. GEMINI (May 21-June21). Two emotional ingredients that pair well together are honesty and gentleness. Blunt honesty can cause trauma worse than many lies. And if you get into a position where you’re really not sure, silence is often the genius move. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re back to wondering how you might improve your life. Hint: There’s no purchase involved. That tip alone should eliminate a lot of the noise around your development. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What ever you are curious about, get deeper into it. Go ahead and tackle the big questions. There’s much good that comes of asking how things might be accomplished, especially seemingly impossible things. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). They needed a leader, and everyone pointed to you. Wonder why it’s you again? It’s because you communicate like a true leader, which is to say you listen more than you talk. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Emo tional weather becomes sunny when a front of enthusiasm meets a jet stream of laughter. Bonus: Because you’re there when the positive feelings are flowing, the glow of sunny skies will always be associated with you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The plans go out the window because the intuitive whims lead you in an entirely different and more fortuitous direction. Being flexible opens you to fe licity. On a side note: Someone is falling in love with your smile. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The difference between tools and weapons is intent of usage. Circumstances arise, and there’s a judgment call to make. It could go a lot of ways. It’s your choice, really: defense, offense, creation, reparation ... CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) While surrounded by half- asleep people, you have ideas about what should happen next, what you’d like to see, make, do. Once you give your motivational jump-start, every one will wake up. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You speak from your heart and tell the truth, which makes it easy to keep track. Those who can’t seem to manage this ease are either moving so quickly through life it’s hard to remember it all or lying. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You may get the sense that whatever the group is doing, it’s not for you. Heed your need for independence. There’s something you’ll discover all on your own.
