Hey All –
I’m trying to help out a friend with a cat situation and thought maybe one
of you could help or might know somebody who could.
My friend Rosie’s husband Eric, a Marine, was wounded last week in Iraq.
He’s at Bethesda now […]
WHQR will soon be announcing its first official concert series since… who knows when. The first Soup to Nuts: Live, a spin-off of Saturday night’s regular “Soup to Nuts” with George Scheibner, will take place in the WHQR Gallery on Thursday, July 31st. The show starts at 7pm and doors open at 6pm. […]
One of the things the Star News piece this morning on the Pew Center’s recently published U.S. Religious Landscape survey didn’t mention was this surprising fact about how many Americans are meditating:
Almost two-fifths of Americans report meditating at least once a week. This practice is particularly common among Buddhists, but nearly half of evangelical Protestants […]
Local musicians have a new hope coming their way in the next few months as far as regional recognition. WHQR 91.3 FM–whose signal reaches all the way north to Jacksonville, west to I-95, and south to N. Myrtle Beach–will soon begin recording for a new forum at which local musicians will be performing live, Soup […]
That kills me…. WHQR reports that the anti-tax (and anti-annexation) group “Americans for Prosperity” is staging a protest against Senator Julia Boseman at the NHC county offices…because she didn’t pay her taxes. All the sudden they’re soooooo pious about civic duties.

Her show focuses chiefly on local issues and she often interviews relevant guests, but she also might discuss national politics, gas prices, the […]
In today’s Star News there was some information about where to send questions and comments regarding the environmental impact of Titan Cement moving into our area:
The Army Corps of Engineers will accept questions and comments regarding the environmental impact statement process of the proposed cement plant in Castle Hayne. In conjunction, a public meeting […]
When I got home on Tuesday I could hear the music at Legion Stadium in the distance. It was sunny and warm outside, and nothing makes watering the garden more fun than the common 80’s montage you get with minor league baseball. O you know, a little Bon Jovi circa big-hair and Alan Jackson twanging […]
Concerned About The Air You Breathe? Or the Water you Drink? Come to the next New Hanover County Commissioner’s meeting on Monday, June 2, at 6 pm at the historic New Hanover County Courthouse at 24 North 3rd St. in downtown Wilmington, and let your presence be known!

Ann Wright is a pretty remarkable woman, what with 13 years of service in the Army/Army reserves and 16 as a diplomat in U.S. embassies as diverse as Sierra Leone, Micronesia, Afghanistan and Mongolia. She retired from the Army with the rank of Colonel and in 2001 volunteered to re-open the U.S. embassy in Kabul. Like many Americans, she […]
