Giving Back

With less that 5 days until One Tree Hill's premiere, the mystery interview on E! still hasn't been seen. Will we see it between now and Monday? Maybe?

Check out Spooky's Austin Nichols Journal to catch a second and I do mean second of Austin in an upcoming scene. Blink and you'll miss him. But Spooky's got you cover.


Today is a day of reflection, community and service for many in the U.S. It is one day that we stop are reminded of so much and how much more there.

One Tree Hill has for the past seven years made themselves a part of the Wilmington community and the cast and crew have given back in many ways.

This is continues their spirit of giving. The Wilmington Police Department is planning a memorial to be dedicated to New Hanover County Law Enforcement Officers killed in the line of duty. The Memorial will be built in front of department headquarters, and will be a special place for citizens, friends and family members to visit, reflect and honor our brave fallen officers. Austin is participating their autograph signing fundraiser tomorrow.

The Officer Down Memorial Wall Celebrity Autograph Fundraiser is to help raise funds to finance the construction of the wall. If you can get to Wilmington by tomorrow you too could get to meet and get an autograph from not only Austin, but also John Bunting(former NFL linebacker – Philadelphia Eagles & former head coach at UNC-CH),James BONECRUSHER Smith(former WBA World Heavyweight Champion boxer), Karl Noonan(former NFL wide receiver – Miami Dolphins),Barry Foote(former MLB catcher – Yankees, Cubs, Phillies, Expos), Donnell Woolford (former NFL cornerback – Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh Steelers & member Clemson Hall of Fame, Billy Harris (former MLB second baseman – Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Royals), as well as Austin' castmates, Sophia, Lee Norris, and Kate Voegele. It is great to see a show and cast give back to were they call home for the majority of their year.

Even as time passes we will never forget the events that happened today and those lost. As we remember the past we look ahead at the promises of the future.
