TURKEY Continued from 1 “This year we have set a goal of 200 turkeys,” Har rell said. “Open Door has purchased 132 turkeys but they need 332. So our goal is to complete their needs for the Thanksgiving distri bution.” Smith said turkey prices have soared in the past year. “Right now turkeys are selling at $1.97 a pound. Normally they’re 99 cents a pound. One of our volun teers has a son who works for a turkey grower and we checked with him and he confirmed they’re just not blowing smoke. So we knew early on there was a shortage.” Shoppers can help out because grocery stores sell turkeys at a discount as a loss leader to draw custom ers in. Some will discount them if a shopper buys $40 or so worth of other items. “They (customers) can buy them cheaper than we can,” Smith said. “We have a lot of church es that help, but none of them really do turkeys,” VOLLEYBALL Continued from 1 started, and the fire was clearly there in the first match against Roxboro. “Everybody was talk ing and moving,” Thach said, and the Pirates won the first match 25-21.

But the Turkey Drop is unique.” The food pantry has plenty of volunteers who can come in and sort and hand out the more than 300 meals on Nov. 23, the Mon day before Thanksgiving. “Last year we had about 40 people,” Smith said. Some came in on Friday and others on Saturday and Sunday. Then there was a group that comes that Mon day to walk the packages out to clients who drive up finished the season with a team-high 279 service points. She also had 102 aces, 185 kills and 175 digs.

As it is, the food pantry spends between $3,000 and $5,000 a month buying food to keep the shelves stocked. Any added ex pense at Thanksgiving takes away from what is available for the other 51 weeks of the year. “What I like about the Turkey Drop is it gets the entire community in volved,” Smith said. In the end, she said, it’s all about helping people. “We all have so much to be thankful for,” Smith said.

Shelby Stokely, who graduated in 2014, played all four years on varsity and finished with just over 1,000 kills. Copley, with 290 in just her freshman year is on track to eclipse that mark. “We’re talking about stuff that never happens here,” Thach said of the prospect of a 1,160 career kill record. Yet Thach said the num bers are only part of it. “The records and scores will fade but the hours of hard work, the laughs, the memories, and the love will never leave our hearts,” Thach said. “That’s satisfac tion to me.” SPRUCE UP FOR THE HULIDAYS- cindy Man Joe HING ^ DECK MAINTENANCE!
