Epic voyage ends in near disaster BY MILES LAYTON Editor Per coverage of Monday’s Chow an County Commission meeting... The Editor’s family is moving to Edenton, so they needed to trans port their canoe to town from Rocky Hock. Instead of loading a long canoe atop a compact car, why not canoe the Chowan River to Edenton Bay? Epic voyage, right? The Editor and his 9-year-old son Robert began their 13 mile journey in earnest Monday morning. They saw lots of wildlife, many crab pots, fishing nets and water foul as they passed White’s Landing, Har ris Landing and all places between Rocky Hock and Edenton. When they arrived on the out skirts of Edenton mid Monday after noon, they were very ready to come ashore. However, an unexpected wind squall forced the Editor and his son into the Albemarle Sound. What had been placid almost serene waters turned to 2-3 feet waves. There was no paddling, only pray ing. Before it was over, the wind and the waves pushed the canoe to Bertie County shores by Merry Hill. Moreover, it was not a smooth land ¬ ing to say the least. The Chowan Herald would per sonally like to thank Tim Ivey, direc tor of Statewide Regional Offices at Economic Development Partner ship of North Carolina, for his assis tance. Ivey provided a phone call, badly needed shelter and some towels while the Editor and his son waited for his mom to arrive so as to carry us home. Thanks again Mr. Ivey. Thus, after the Editor recovers from the trip, he will write a story about Monday’s Chowan County Commission meeting. Lastly, thanks be to God! MILES LAYTON/ CHOWAN HERALD Nine- year-old Robert Layton, a brave young man, at the outset of an epic voyage that would transform him from a boy to a man.

According the NCHSAA, each member school had the opportunity to nomi nate one male and one female student-athlete for the recognition. The students must have participated in at least one varsity sport or activ ity, including cheerleading, during the current school year, have not been eject ed from any contest, and must have demonstrated outstanding citizenship and sportsmanship during their high school careers. The multiple winners from across the state nor mally receive their award at a banquet later in the spring. Bass was a placekicker on the junior varsity foot ball team last fall who earned playing time for the varsity football team and was ranked third in the Albemarle Athletic Con ference for her kicking ability. All during that time on the Aces’ gridiron, Bass was playing tennis too — All-Conference by the way. “First time in my career that a young lady has been on the football team and lo and behold, she scores points,” said Coach Paul Hoggard at the Henry Over- ton^Football Banquet ear lier this year as he praised Bass for her athletic prow ess and academic acumen as being the junior class player with the best grades for the team. Tuesday as Bass was traveling out of town, the All-American teen said she enjoyed playing football. “Yes, it was really fun,” said Bass, who was the Chowan Herald’s Athlete of the- Week for Oct. 11. “I’m thankful to Coach Hoggard and the rest of the coaching staff for in cluding me and making me feel welcome on the team. They were very patient and flexible with me and my busy schedule with ten nis. I’m looking forward to playing again next year.” During the winter, Bass competed on the girls bas ketball team where she was ranked among the top 20 scorers in the confer ence This spring, Bass is the starting goalkeeper for John A. Holmes girls soc cer team. During one game against Washington, Bass recorded 17 saves in the game, all par for the course for this gifted scholar-ath lete. Why is Bass so driven to succeed? “I just want to be the best player I can be for my teammates and coaches,” she said. “I want them to be able to trust me in any situation.” Maybe Bass gets her athletic prowess naturally — from her parents Tom my and Jamie Bass, both be-true-to-your-school Aces. Her father played tennis and basketball for Holmes High while her mother played tennis bas ketball and softball.
