I have made my way around the region and these are some of the great things I've seen. The SR Gathering was a great success. We combined learning and fun to produce a great event. The high- lights from the weekend included feedback from the Summit and Conclave planning. We also had some wild and crazy games where your section officers got a little messy! (Not to mention the advisors) The first NLS for the Southern Region was held in Wirtz, Va. The weekend was exciting and successful for all. The staff included: Will Parker Seth Brown Bud Harrelson Jay Widby David Carter Chris Esch J.H. Corpening Kevin Anderson Tee Pruitt Daniel Glaze Clayton Allport Larry Leach Larry Warlick Tommy Murray Jim Strawbridge Tom Moore These guys did an excellent job. They were well prepared and very exciting. I felt the participants had a worthwhile experience as well. My second NLS took me to Marianna, Fla. We flew down right about the time a hurricane was scheduled to come through. Fortunately, it did not affect the program. The staff included: Chris Rogers Carey Mignery Devlin Cooper Mack Zewalk Dan Musick Jeremy Pullen Tom Moore Bobby Kuntsman Joe Shea Patrick May Bill Loeble Ted Soangenberg Jr. Charlie Sullivan Jim Strawbridge Man...those guys really know how to put on an NLS down there. Everyone had a memorable experience. My most recent NLS was in Conroe, Texas at Camp Strake. I saw some armadillos and the 2nd largest tree of it's kind...though I don't remember what kind, but it was huge! Texas is a great state! I was amazed at the preparation that each of the staff put into their sessions. I am confident the participants were pleased. In addition to the NLSs, I have had the opportunity to go the several other events. These include a Lodge 70 Vigil ceremony, Elangomat at an Ordeal, Arrowtech, Two banquets at lodges 70 & 331, Klahican's "One Day of Service" and a Region Board meeting! Our Order is thriving! I am excited about where we are going. I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Southern Region grow this year. I hope I can continue to serve effectively in my remaining term as your Chief. As the Spirit Leads, John Isley, Southern Region Chief ********************************************************* A holiday Message from Doug Clevinger, The Supreme Chief of the Fire Dear Lodge Membership, As the end of this century draws near, I am very mindful of the proud history that the Order of the Arrow has had in our nation and here in the Cape Fear Council. Our challenge now is to be "equal to the task" of having our generation continue that proud heritage. Our lodge has a great opportunity before it that comes along very seldom, an opportunity to rally our membership and manpower to make the upcoming Conclave the best ever. This is a chance for many members who have been "sitting on the sidelines" to become a part of what is going on. It is a chance to prove that brotherhood and cheerful service are more than "just" words; they are indicators of the character in our heart! The direction that our Lodge takes in the future may very well hinge on how our membership responds to this challenge. We have good leadership and tremendous potential for accomplishing great things, but all brothers must be united in our cause. A great American and former President, Theodore Roosevelt once said, " The credit belongs to those people who are actually in the arena...who know the great enthusiasm, the great devotions to a worthy cause, who at best, know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Commit yourself today to "enter the arena" of service to our Lodge. Best Wishes, Doug Clevinger Scout Executive **************************************************************************** ******************************* HOLIDAY WISHES FROM "down under" - past chief, Tommy Cleveland G'Day Brothers, It is not too long before I come home and I am looking forward to it. I have finished with classes now, two week ago in fact. I went to Sydney last week for co-ed ultimate Frisbee National Championships. The team I was playing on from Victoria, came in 5th. The I also went camping for a few days in the Blue Mountains near by, which was very beautiful and peaceful. Now I am back in my room in Melbourne studying away for exams. I have 3 tough ones coming up soon. As soon as I am finished with those I hit the road. I am traveling up to the Great Barrier Reef, on to Bali, a island in Indonesia, and then after a stop by in Melbourne, I am off to New Zealand and on my way home. I will be back in the good 'ol US of A by the middle of December-just about the time you'll be getting this issue. I have heard from my sources that the banquet and day of service went very well. I wish I could have been there! I will see you all in January at the Winter Fellowship. Have a Wonderful Holiday...Yours in Brotherhood, Tommy **************************************************************************** ******************************** >From the Chief - Klahican Lodge Chief, Nathan Finnin Dear Brothers, I would like to thank all of those who attended our Fall Fellowship over Halloween weekend. We were able to brave the cold, and induct over 50 new ordeal candidates. I would like to congratulate all of our arrowmen who sealed their membership in our lodge by attaining their brotherhood. For those who missed the Annual Lodge Banquet, you really did MISS it!! Good food, and two National Officers added to the memorable experience. I want to thank Maurice Williams, and all who stayed for the one-day of service for making it a success. As conclave is drawing nearer, our committees are hard at work smoothing out every last detail. We can still use, in fact we still need all the help we can get. This event reflects our lodge, and our individual dedication to the Order. We want you to get involved. Please contact me, or any of the chairman or advisors. See you all in January!!! As the Spirit Leads, Nathan Finnin Lodge Chief Conclave Chairman **************************************************************************** ***************************** National Day of Service a Great Success ! The day of service project was a great success. 30 brothers of Klahican, National Chief, Will Parker, and Region Chief, John Isley, put up 40 yards of split rail fencing and put wood chips on a trail at Singletary Lake State Park. We had a great time in cheerful service and everyone was proud of the work. David Colburn, the park ranger, was very pleased with the work. He said that it took months off of work that his crew of workers would've had to do. I would like to thank all the brothers of Klahican and Scouts that helped with the Day of Service. Your service is greatly appreciated in this lodge, scouts, and your communities.

The meeting started a little late, due to the fact that a few lodges had some trouble finding Camp McNeill. Once we got started, everything seemed to click. Nathan Finnin really impressed the rest of the Section leadership that was there. Promoting Conclave was one of Nathan's goals, and I am pleased to say that Nathan did a superb job! Nathan was nominated for the office of Section Vice Chief of Program next year. Everyone make sure that you give Nathan the support that he needs to win this election! Speaking of giving Nathan your support, why don't you go ahead and give him a call if you are not on one of the Conclave 2000 committees? Klahican Lodge can really use your help in staffing this monumental event! Over 800 delegates are expected and man more day guests! NOAC 2000 is coming up. One of the things that my job requires me to do is promote this baby! There will not be as many slots available for this NOAC as the last one. The reason is because there are not as many beds. NOAC 2000 is going to be held at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville (just 450 miles), on July 29-August 3, 2000. The cost is only $280 for adults and youth both! This coming NOAC is one day longer than the previous ones, which is reflect in the cost being about $25 more than the 1998 NOAC. Klahican Lodge is already reserving spots. If you would like to attend, send $100 deposit to CFC office to reserve your spot! November 11-13 was a busy weekend! The highlights are: Friday, Nov. 11, Maurice Williams and I left NC State and drove to Campbell University to pick up the OA SR Chief John Isley. We all headed to Elizabethtown to pick up Will Parker, our National Chief and Lodge Advisor Jim Strawbridge. Friday night at our Klahican Banquet,Will gave a powerful talk about where our Order is heading. The next morning, everyone at Camp Bowers headed over to Singletary Lake State Park to participate in the National "One Day of Service" project. Our lodge members put up split rail fencing and several tons of wood chips along a trail. After a delicious lunch (Thank you Mrs.Morgan), John Will, and I got in the car and drove to Camp Cherokee, and Lodge 70's patch auction & Brotherhood Ceremony. Will's gave another inspiring talk to the Brotherhood on Saturday night. Wow! 36 hours packed with activities, service and fun! What a great job! Have a safe and happy holiday season and I will see you all at the Winter Fellowship in January. Yours in WWW, Kevin Anderson SR7B, Chief **************************************************************************** ******************************* ADVISOR'S CORNER - J.Corpening, Coastal Chapter Advisor It was Friday, July 16, 1915. The day dawned bright and clear on Treasure Island. Something was in the air, a feeling of expectancy and mystery. By sundown the air was charged with a tense excitement. Those who were present always remembered the first induction into what is now known as the Order of the Arrow. Much has changed in our world since that Friday evening at Treasure Island. Mankind learned to fly, learned to travel in space, and learned to walk on the moon. FM radio, television, then color television, automobiles, microwaves, air conditioners, cassette decks, cd players are just a few of the inventions we have experienced in the last tenth of this millennium. Think about the events over the last one thousand years. 492 years before Christopher Columbus! The changes in our world over the last 100 years are almost incomprehensible, much less the changes over the last 1000. Some things do not change. Since that first induction, we have been bound together by the principles of Brotherhood, Cheerfulness and Service. The Delaware Indians were similarly bound long before that evening on Treasure Island. Before the Delaware there were others, whether Knights of the Crusades, explorers of the new world, Native Americans and others, all bound by these same ties we cherish and perpetuate. So why is this important now, as we face the advent of a new millennium? This is a special opportunity for you to pause, and look you back on Scouting, whose sign and motto you accepted. Long ago you gave your promise, said you firmly, "On my honor I'll do my best-I'll do my duty." Later you undertook an obligation, in which you made several promises. This is important now because it is important for you to decide whether you meant any of these things or not. It is important for it is now for you to perpetuate the ideals of scouting into a new millennium. It is important for you to perpetuate the names and token of this Brotherhood of Cheerful Service, called by Delawares: Wimachtendienk, Wingolauchsik, Witahemui! The principles we represent can shape the next millennium. It is up to you to stand up and be counted. See you at the Chapter meetings and Winter Fellowship. May you and your families have a peaceful and joyous holiday. Yours in Service, J. Corpening, Coastal Chapter Adviser **************************************************************************** ********************************* health update - new type of Lyme disease found in southeastern u.s. NOVEMBER 19, 1999 5:49 PM ET REUTERS LIMITED SOURCE: Archieves of Dermatology 1999; 135:1317-1326 New type of lyme disease found in southeastern u.s. NEW YORK, Nov 19 (Reuters Health)-New research suggests that Georgia, South Carolina, and possibly other states in the Southeast may be best by their own type of Lyme disease. "There is some type of tick-transmitted illness here that acts like Lyme disease but only fits the laboratory pattern 30% of the time" lead research Dr. Michael W. Felz said in a statement released by the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. "In other words," he explained, "we may need a whole new testing system for this illness in the Southeast." Lyme disease is caused by the bite from a deer tick, which transmits bacteria known as Borrelia burgdorferi. The first sign of infection is an enlarging red, circular "bull's eye" rash. In studying 23 adults who consulted a doctor about the telltale rash, Felz and his colleagues discovered that 70% of the patients tested negative for Borrelia burgdorferi infection. Furthermore, even in the 30% of study participants who did test positive, the DNA of the bacteria was different from what the experts expected to see. The bacteria seem to be genetically variant strains of Borrelia burdorferi, the researchers report in the November issue of Archieves of Dermatology. As Felz explained in the statement, "the tick species transmitting this illness sems to be different and may be transmitting an organism that is very different." Also, none of the patients in the study progressed to the second stage of Lyme disease, which can include symptoms such as muscle paralysis, joint inflammation, and heart rhythm disorders. The newly identified strain of Borrelia burgdorferi may be less toxic than the strain that is common in Northeast and the Midwest, the authors conclude. The speculate that the infection it causes might be more responsive to treatment with antibiotics. Scouts and Scouters fall into the highest risk group for contracting Lyme. Anyone who works or plays out of doors can be bitten and affected. REPORT all tick bites even if they do not show the classic "bulls-eye" rash configuration. SAVE THE TICK, have it tested by a competent laboratory and have a LYME titer test performed. An ounce of prevention can save months of treatment. BE AWARE. **************************************************************************** ********************************* FROM DREAMER TO CANDIDATE TO BROTHER - By new Ordeal member Rick Rutherford As I lay there alone on Ordeal night number one, I stared up at the stars shining down on the candidates. Like every other candidate, I was doing some serious soul searching, asking myself "Am I really worthy to be a part of this Order?" In my case, I focused on the Dog Star (Sirius). My grandfather had pointed it out to my father the first time he ever took him coon hunting in the hills of West Virginia, and my father had passed on the description to me. He said, "That is the twinkle in God's eye! When you see that star shining on you, you know God's happy for the way things are turning out." As I thanked my maker for the opportunity to be engaged in cheerful service, I thought back to my first memories of Scouting as a boy. I remember the first "Tapping Out" ceremony I ever witnessed like it was yesterday, even though it was a whole lot of yesterdays ago. The candidates began their ordeal that very night, and completed it during the remainder of the summer camp week. The mystery and wonder it instilled in a bucktoothed, geeky twelve year old with thick glasses, was the stuff that dreams were made of! Every summer camp that I attended thereafter, when the mid week campfire rolled around, I would yearn for the experience of being selected as an Ordeal candidate in the Order of the Arrow. I made every camp, and I tried very hard to advance in rank, but there was one small problem. I could not swim, and you couldn't make First Class without swimming. I was a mountain boy, and we never saw water deep enough that you couldn't wade across it! So each summer, I went to camp, got my beginner's buddy tag, and dreamed that one day, I would be qualified to join that elite group who got to spend the remainder of their camp week, walking around with a hand carved arrow in their teeth to help them keep the vow of silence, and work at every conceivable camp improvement project. The years came and went, and it never happened, but I never forgot the dream. I learned to swim in college, but of course, by then my Scouting career was over, or so I thought. The years went by, and a career and a family became my dreams, and the memories of summer camp and the dreams of OA membership faded, but never died. In 1983, God blessed my wife and I with a son, and two years later, another son. Pretty soon, they were Tiger Cub age, and I wanted them to experience the thrills of Scouting for themselves. So I became a Scouter, because it was obvious to me that the Scouts who got the most out of the program were those whose parents were also participants, and besides, every man is still a little boy when it comes to camping in the woods! I will never forget the night my son, Chris, was tapped into the Order. I watched with pride, tears streaming down my face, knowing that he would get to experience the dream that I had never achieved. A proud moment for a father in a long string of proud moments. When he came home from his Ordeal weekend, I thought to myself, "That's it, that is close enough". The dream is as fulfilled as it will get. Still, one of the tenets of the Order of the Arrow is patience, and as I continued to work to serve my Troop, the Great Spirit saw the cheerful service I was trying to provide, and he decided, "Thirty seven years is long enough! This is a gift that he will really cherish." So here I am, undergoing the Ordeal, and feeling a little bit guilty, because maturity and wisdom teach us that dreams do not always come true, but THIS ONE DID! Sure, it is tough, but there is that twinkle in God's eye, and when the bright moon woke me up at about 4 am, it was a half moon. It was a very clear message. This work is only half done. Once you become set apart as an Arrowman, you obligate yourself to something, which will help, fulfill the dreams of others. What a great club! To be a success, all you have to do is smile and help other people whenever you see the opportunity! I feel so privileged to be a member. Now I have a dream of Brotherhood! After all, you are never too old to dream. **************************************************************************** ********************************* klahican lodge welcomes new members Record number pass their Ordeal in 1999 Klahican Lodge 331, Order of the Arrow is pleased to announce the Ordeal members for 1999.
