‘Fisk’ is the Danish and Norwegian word for fish.

Such was the very armour he had on
When he the ambitious Norway combated;
So frown'd he once, when, in an angry parle,
He smote the sledded Polacks on the ice.
'Tis strange.

Wilson Times wins 20 awards in journalism contest

Celebrating its 125th year, The Wilson Times remains one of North Carolina’s top newspapers of its size as judged by its peers in an annual statewide competition.

The Times won 20 awards in the North Carolina Press Association’s 2020 News, Editorial and Photojournalism Contest, including a third-place honor for general excellence, and reporter Olivia Neeley earned the North Carolina Bar Association’s Media and the Law Award of Excellence for best daily newspaper article.

Awards were announced Friday in a virtual presentation due to the COVID-19 pandemic and state restrictions on mass gatherings. The association customarily holds an awards banquet.

The Times competes in NCPA Division D, consisting of daily newspapers with circulation under 12,500.

Journalists from West Virginia Press Association member publications judged the 2020 contest. To ensure impartiality, their identities are not revealed to participants.

SPORTS COVERAGE

Sports Editor Paul Durham won first-place awards for sports enterprise reporting and sports feature writing and garnered a second-place honor for sports columns.

The winning sports enterprise story, “The cost of not playing,” explored the COVID-19 pandemic’s economic impact on Wilson County high schools due to athletic season postponements and mass gathering limits that eliminated ticket revenue.

Durham earned praise for a selection of three columns that included first-person reflections and input on a discussion about Wilson County high school track needs.

“Solid variety of column subjects including a vivid childhood football team, an outdoors topic on fishing, and discussing the benefits of building an athletic facility,” the judge wrote.

The sports feature writing award honored Durham for “Take me out to the ball game,” which described Wilson’s minor-league baseball atmosphere in the 1950s through diehard fans’ eyes.

Welp, the MIF's youngest daughter got married this weekend. I walked her down the aisle. I really wasn't thinking I would get emotional, she's been engaged for almost 2 years and she and her (now) husband bought a house together almost a year ago, so they've basically been living as a married couple. But when the doors opened and we started walking down the aisle, I teared up. So I guess I am human after all...

Too bad it wasn't the doors to hell that opened for you.
