By BOB HIGH Staff Writer James Pierce, 76, of Chinquapin in Duplin County, was killed Friday evening in the crash of his small airplane in a thickly wooded area off Old Lake Road between N.C. 11 and N.C. 87 near Riegelwood. Columbus County Coroner Linwood Cartrette said Pierce was flying alone after taking another man, a pilot, to a private airstrip in the Byrdville-Freeman Road area to get another airplane. Pierce was apparently headed home from the airstrip south of U.S. 74-76 when his plane began to lose altitude. The crash was noted about 7:19 p.m. when Columbus County Emergency Services received a notification from a spotter plane that an emergency transponder – or beacon – was transmitting a signal near Riegelwood. Angel Montecino’s home is less than half a mile from the crash and was in the flight path of the aircraft that flew ex- tremely low over his home. “It was so loud it drowned out the TV and air conditioner,” Montecino said. “I thought it was a military plane until I heard about the crash in the morning.” Deputies from the Columbus County Sheriff ’s Office, county emergency personnel and individuals from the ADR Fire Depart- ment began looking for the wreckage. Coroner Cartrette said he was notified shortly after midnight Friday to go to the scene. Cartrette said he had to walk about 200 yards from a logging road that is near Old Lake Road to reach the wreckage. The coroner said Pierce died instantly from multiple injuries, and was still in his harness when found. Authorities from the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating the cause of the crash.

For now, the library of Old Dock Elementary School con-sists of 10 mobile carts filled with donated books, but a $50,000 catastrophic disaster relief grant will soon help the school rebuild its library collection.
The Dollar General Lit-eracy Foundation funded the American Association of School Librarians’ (AASL) Beyond Words Grant, and Old Dock is one of two schools in the country to be awarded the grant this year.
The school lost the main building, library and three sets of classrooms in a Jan. 7 fire.
“There was nothing that could be salvaged from the ashes,” Brandy Lee, school librarian, wrote in the grant application. “Fur niture, equipment and, of course, books did not survive the fire.”
Cameron Reynolds, a fourth-grader, was among sev-eral students photographed with Dollar General represen-tatives who presented a check earlier in the year.
“It was huge,” Reynolds said. “We really need new books.”
Principal Ronna Gore said the grant can be used for technology purchases. Three iPads have been purchased, but most of the funds will be expended when the new building and library are com-pleted around April 2016.
Lee said about 85 percent
of the students at the school are considered low-income.
“Something as simple as a book will provide our students with years of ex-periences and enjoyment that they may not otherwise have,” Lee explained in the application.
Since 2012, two catastroph-ic grants are awarded yearly to schools that suffer a 90 percent or greater loss to the school library program due to
a natural disaster, fire or an act recognized by the federal government as terrorism.
“Elementary schools are often the hub of the com-munity and libraries are the hub of the school,” said Terri Grief, AASL president. “When schools are tragically destroyed, the entire commu-nity is impacted … The safe and secure place they relied on was gone overnight. Luck-ily for the school librarians and the students, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation responded as well. The librar-ies will be able to replace materials that the kids need to succeed in their academic careers. AASL is so apprecia-tive of Dollar General Beyond Words grant program. These funds directly impact chil-dren and communities and help with the healing process after a catastrophe.”
Since 2006, the Beyond Words grant program has provided relief to public school libraries nationwide that have suffered materials losses because of a major disaster ranging from hur-ricanes, tornados, floods, earthquakes, fires or acts of terrorism. To date, more than $1.6 million in grants has been awarded to more than 150 schools across the country. Funds replaced or supplemented books, media and/or library equipment within the school library or offset costs incurred by those schools opening their doors to significant numbers of new students displaced by the disaster.
Dollar General offers cus-tomers the option of making a donation to the foundation via boxes at registers and through credit or bankcard transactions at the register.
The Dollar General Lit-eracy Foundation was estab-lished in 1993 in honor of Dol-lar General’s co-founder, J.L. Turner, who was functionally illiterate with only a third grade education. He was a farmer’s son who dropped out of school when his father was killed in an accident. With de-termination and hard work, he began Dollar General.
“We understand that some-times various life circum-stances prevent individuals from learning to read or graduating from high school, but it’s never too late to learn. We believe that every indi-vidual deserves an equal op-portunity to receive a basic education,” the foundation’s website reads. “Through our funding initiatives, we are committed to helping indi-viduals of all ages receive the educational foundation they need to increase their abil-ity to access post-secondary education opportunities and attain increased employ-ability.”
Since 1993, the Dollar Gen-eral Literacy Foundation has awarded more than $100 million in grants to nonprofit organizations and schools that have helped more than six million individuals learn to read, prepare for the high school equivalency test, or learn the English language.

Construction on the new Old Dock Elementary School building really gets off the ground in the coming weeks.
Friday crews were making the final preparations for more than 150 yards of concrete (about 16 truckloads) to be poured as early as Tuesday of this week. A portion of several tons of steel frames is already on site with the steel expected to go up in the next three to four weeks, officials say.
Much work has gone into prepping the soils.
Foreman Dewyane Elliott of Bordeaux Construction said 430 truckloads and 7,000 yards of dirt went into prep-ping the site that had drainage issues.
Weather has made prog-ress on the project especially difficult but Friday as clouds cleared, crews anticipated a productive day.
“We want it right,” said Principal Ronna Gore.
The project is on target for completion by April 2016.
Imperfect soils and rainy weather are to blame for con-struction delays.
The more than $4 million project replaces roughly 19,000 square feet the school lost
in a fire in January. Szostak Design’s building plan calls for six new classrooms to be connected to the existing pod
of classrooms. A new media center and
administrative offices will connect the two pods.
In recent weeks the Colum-bus County School board ap-proved an additional $750,000 to go toward the project. The bulk of those funds will be used to build a combination gym and auditorium and re-place roofs. The gymnatorium will include a stage with dress-ing rooms.

Up-and-down humidity“We’ve had the temperature
in the Superior Courtroom at 68 degrees, and the humidity was so high it was still clammy in there. I’ve seen the humid-ity as low as 59 percent, and as high as 80 percent. How are we going to be able to bear it and work with the temperature at 75?” Judge Sasser noted.
“My real concern is mold in the walls, and if people start complaining about being
exposed to mold, how can we use the courtrooms. We’ve had problems with the humidity since the courthouse opened in late June,” the judge added.
A separate air conditioning system is in place for the first floor of the new courthouse. It’s been working without complaints, says Clerk of Court Jess Hill. “If we had high humidity like they’ve got on the second and third floors we’d have mold in our paper records,” he noted.

Larry Burroughs, PA, and Marie Campbell, DNP, cut the ribbon for the new urgent care center at Columbus Regional Healthcare Thursday as hospital, chamber of commerce and city officials look on.
By ALLEN TURNERStaff Writer
About 60 people represent-ing the hospital, chamber of commerce, Southeastern Community Colle ge and Whiteville’s city government looked on Thursday as Larry Burroughs, PA, and Marie Campbell, DNP, cut a ribbon to mark the opening of the new urgent care center at Co-lumbus Regional Healthcare System (CRHS).
The center, which officially opened today (Monday), is open from noon until 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. Be-ginning next month, it will be open seven days a week.
The temporary location is on the east side of the hospital adjacent to the visitors’ park-ing lot.
The center eventually will be relocated to the soon-to-be-vacant MRI building near the emergency room entrance.
The urgent care center of-fers an interim level of care for medical situations that don’t require an emergency room visit but also can’t wait until a primary care physician’s of-fice is open.
Walk-in treatment for ev-eryday illness and injury, including X-rays, labs, stitches and treatment for broken bones, sprains and strains is available.
Employer health services including workers’ compen-sation, injury care and pre-employment screenings, as well as basic wellness and prevention services such as
physicals and flu shots are also offered.
Jennifer Holcomb, director of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce and Tourism, pre-sided over the ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday. Kevin Williamson, immediate past chairman of the chamber’s board of directors, presented Columbus Regional CFO Carl Biber a plaque noting the ur-gent care center’s membership in the chamber.
Williamson commented, “You (CRHS) are the second or third largest employer here in Columbus County. The dollars you put back into the commu-nity can’t be underestimated, so we’re tremendously grate-ful to have the urgent care center as part of the hospital system.”
Speaking on behalf of hos-pital CEO Carla Hollis, Biber said, “We’re excited about this new service we’re bringing to the community. It means increased accessibility and af-fordability. We’re very excited about our team of Larry (Bur-roughs), Marie (Campbell), Susan (White) and the rest of the support team.”
Larry Burroughs, PA, and Marie Campbell, DNP, are the primary providers at the urgent care center, although Campbell will not join the facility until the first of De-cember.
“Larry joined us six months ago and has been hard at work making this come together,” practice manager Susan White told the crowd. “He has done a fabulous job. And when Marie
joins us, she’ll bring her exper-tise in internal medicine, pedi-atrics, the whole nine yards.”
White also introduced ur-gent care staffers imaging tech Morgan Madden, office coordinator Belinda Buffkin and Kathy Byrd, registration and front office assistant.
Burroughs’ excitement at the opening of the facility was evident, but his remarks were brief: “If y’all need us, we’re right here.”
He did draw laughter, how-ever, when Brenda Orders of the Southeastern Community College Small Business Center mentioned that she has three grandchildren in Columbus County and Burroughs told her, “We will see you here, then.”
Orders said, “We are so excited to have the urgent care center here. We at the college have a long history of partnership working with the hospital and providing nurses and CNAs.”
Whiteville Mayor Terry Mann, accompanied by city manager Darren Currie and councilman Robert Leader, said, “This is one of the top assets we have in Columbus County because without great health care you’re not going to be able to recruit new industry and new people. We thank the hospital for what they’ve done, and what they’re doing as they continue to progress. This urgent care is another one of the facilities they have as they enhance what they’re doing. And I know it’s in good hands with Larry Burroughs.”

Highway officials hope for a full house Tuesday when they hold a public forum in White-ville to discuss the U.S. 701 Bypass improvement project.
“This is the best chance peo-ple have to come out and look at the maps, submit comments, get their questions answered and see what we have planned so far,” said Drew Cox of the N.C. Department of Transportation.
The bypass improvement project would stretch from Pleasant Plains Church Road to the U.S. 74-76 Bypass. Some border surveys have been com-pleted, Cox said, but the project is still years away from even the first shovel of earth.
“This project was sped up a little bit, because we’re trying to get ahead of the projected traffic counts,” he explained. Look what we have now, then think of it in 20 years, if noth-ing is done.”
The bypass project, which is in the funding process, will start when officials “marry” the data being gathered from envi-ronmental, hydrographic, legal and other sources, Cox said. At that point, the information is reviewed, assembled and given to designers for the highway.
Nothing is set in stone, Cox said.
“Right now, all we have are pencil marks on a map,” Cox said. “All the data will be con-sidered, especially the input from the general public. There are no foregone conclusions on this highway project.”
Officials hope to be able to create a boulevard style high-way, with wide landscaped me-dians and limited access points along the route through town.
The bypass improvements will require additional rights of way, both for the highway and construction, Cox said. While most landowners are concerned
with losing land or having the highway at their doorsteps, Cox said retailers have been especially concerned about the proposed limited access crossings and problems with accessing businesses during the construction process.
“These are the things we need to know about,” Cox said. “Now is the time to bring these concerns to our attention, not two years from now when the right-of-ways have been deter-mined, and people are knocking on your door with a contract.”
Cox pointed out that the recent purchase of the railroad by R.J. Corman Rail Group is a prime example of how chang-ing factors play a role in the final design of the highway.
The grade on the 701-bypass bridge is considered danger-ously steep in some places, and has contributed to a number of collisions on either side.
Original concepts called for removing and flattening the bridge over the railway, but since Corman is reactivating the line, Cox said, “We have to discuss long-range plans” regarding the former Carolina Southern spur.
Cox said the final design of the bypass, while years away, “won’t be randomly made by people who have never been here.
“The people who live here, and that includes a lot of our DOT employees, are the ones
we want to hear from,” he said. “The bypass is a very popular route, and a big part of the economy here. No one wants to see travellers finding a different route to the beaches because of congestion. We have safety issues at the U.S. 74 end as well – everyone has seen traffic backed up, and not just on beach days, when there’s an accident.
“Our goal is to make it so traffic can move through with-out being impeded, yet for the highway to still be safe,” Cox said.
Tuesday’s forum will be held at the Whiteville High cafeteria from 5-8 p.m. Cox said comments will still be accepted for another 30 days after the meeting, and anyone with con-cerns about the route can call the Whiteville DOT office for a guided “tour” of the maps and possible route.
“This is one of the very first steps in the process,” he said.
Cox said every comment will be considered, and all input is important. He pointed out how a comment from a farmer helped improve another area project, the improvements along the N.C. 87 bypass at Elizabethtown.
“Our engineers and design-ers hadn’t seen it, and this gentleman who had lived there all his life did,” Cox said. “I am not saying we will be able to ac-commodate every request and concern, but we’ll listen and we’ll do what we can.”
Bypass informational meeting Tuesday
Boys and Girls Homes of North Carolina will break ground for the Anthony J. Brill Middle School at Flem-ington Academy Thursday, Sept. 17 at 3 p.m. The public is invited.
“We are thrilled to be able to begin construction on this transformative project,” said President Gary Faircloth. “We are serving students in sixth through 12th grade at Flemington Academy, and this will allow us to separate the younger children from the high school students to provide the best educational setting possible.”
This groundbreaking is the culmination of a fundrais-ing campaign initiated this
spring. It included a challenge grant from the Anthony J. Brill Foundation to kick off the project.
Based in Fayetteville, the Anthony J. Brill Foundation provides grants and support to educational institutions, scholarships, student finan-cial aid services and awards.
The remaining funds came from generous gifts from in-dividuals, civic clubs and foundations.
“This is such an important
investment in these students,” said Flemington Academy director Dr. Tom Simmons. “We are taking students who are two to three grade levels behind and providing them with the educational environ-ment to give them the help they need. These children know that we are committed to their success. Providing the middle school students with a space of their own will increase learning and make an even greater impact.”

Blanton is charged with accepting a $30.10 check from Isabelle Burney of Old Stage Road, Riegelwood, on Oct. 2, 2013, and not applying the check to the woman’s account.
He’s also charged with ac-cepting a $36.44 premium pay-ment from Regina Baldwin of Millie-Christine Road, White-ville, on Oct. 1, 2012, and did not apply the money to Baldwin’s United Insurance policy “in the performance of his duties as an insurance agent,” accord-ing to the warrant.

ately deposited that check into his personal bank account,” again for a United Insurance policy payment. The address of the victim Stephens was not shown on the warrant.
The final count shows Blan-ton requested Claudette Bald-win of Millie-Christine Road, Whiteville, write a personal check directly to him in Octo-ber 2012, and he also deposited the check into his personal account, and did not apply the money to Baldwin’s United Insurance policy

Clerk of Court Jess Hill is Constitution Week speakerBy CLARA CARTRETTE
Staff Writer
Columbus County Clerk of Court Jess Hill was guest speaker for the Major Gen-eral Robert Howe Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution meeting during Constitution Week.
Meeting at the Lewis Li-brary in Chadbourn last Wednesday, Nancy Dove led the DAR Ritual and Pledge of Allegiance.
Chadbourn Mayor Donald Ray Bass was a special guest who signed a proclamation designating Constitution Week.
Hill thanked the group for inviting him. He said it was an honor to be asked to speak and he was blessed to be there.
He spoke on how some of the new Supreme Court rulings affect the U.S. Con-stitution.
One of the rulings was about a drug used in death penalty cases.
“Amendment VIII: Ex-cessive bail shall not be re-quired, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel or un-usual punishments inflicted.
“Death row inmates have failed to establish a likeli-hood of success on the mer-its of their claim that the use of midazolam, a sedative, as the first drug in Oklahoma’s lethal injection protocol vio-lates the Eighth Amendment because it fails to render a person insensate to pain.”
In a 5-4 vote, Oklahoma executions may go forward, with Judge Alito arguing that rejecting every available means of carrying out the death penalty would amount to striking it down even though it was constitutional.
The dissent, argued by Justice Sonia Sotomayor: That the Eighth Amendment should have barred Okla-homa from using midazolam because it cannot be trusted, it could render a person un-conscious and open to pain at the later stages.
Justices Breyer and Gins-burg suggested that the death penalty may not be constitu-
tional based on the Eighth Amendment.
The majority responded to the dissents, with Justices Scalia and Thomas stating
that time and again people have voted to exact the death penalty as punishment, and time and again the Supreme Court has upheld that deci-
sion. Capital punishment pres-
ents moral questions that philosophers, theologians and statesmen have grappled with for millennia.
The Framers of the Con-stitution disagreed bitterly on the matter.
For that reason, they handled it the same way they handled many other contro-versial issues: they left it to the people to decide.
By arrogating to himself the power to overturn that decision, Justice Breyer does not reject the death penalty, he rejects the En-lightenment.”
On Freedom of Speech, concerning large church
signs in Gilbert, Ariz., the holding was that the town had violated the First Amendment by placing lim-its on the size of signs an-nouncing church services. The unanimous decision of the Supreme Court was that the town had violated the First Amendment.
The decision involved differing restrictions on political, ideological and directional signs.
The ordinance was chal-lenged by a pastor.
All justices agreed that the law was unconstitutional but not the reasoning behind it.
Six justices stated that the ordinance was invalid because the most stringent for m of judicial review should apply.
Three justices stated that the majority opinion was too
stringent and that the rules announced would endanger reasonable sign ordinances.
Another case involved employment discrimina-tion, with Abercrombie and Fitch stores declined to hire a woman, saying her scarf clashed with the company’s dress code.
It maintained that it should not have been made to guess that she wore a head scarf for religious reasons.
In an 8-1 decision (Justice Thomas dissenting) Justice Scalia, writing for the other justices, did not have to make a specific request for a reli-
gious accommodation to ob-tain relief under Title VII of the Civil Rights act of 1964, which prohibits discrimina-tion in hiring.
In a religious freedom case, the court found that Arkansas officials violated the religious liberty rights of Muslim inmates by for-bidding them to grow beards over security concerns.
Judge Alito wrote for the majority using the same standard that was used in the Hobby Lobby case, which al-lowed for corporations to re-fuse to pay for contraception coverage for female workers.
The test: does the govern-ment regulation place a sub-stantial burden on religious practices?
If it does, the test requires that the government show it had a compelling reason for the regulation and no better way to achieve it.
On same sex marriage, Hill said a 5-4 decision ruled, with Justice Kennedy also writing for Breyer, Kagan, Ginsburg and Sotomayor: “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embod-ies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family.
“In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were.
“As some of the petition-ers in these cases demon-strate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death.
It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage.
Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its ful-fillment for themselves.
Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneli-ness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institu-tions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law.
The Constitution grants them that right.”
The basis for Kennedy’s decision was the due process clause of the 14th Amend-ment: “No state shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due pro-cess of the law.”

WHQR Public Radio in Wilmington has announced that the MC Erny Gallery at WHQR will open a new show Sept. 25: “ U n d e r t h e Canopy- Two Women’s Jour-ney,” work by Diana Jamison and Celia Mc-Guire.
An opening reception will be held Friday, Sept. 25 from 6 to 9 p.m. Guests are invited to meet the artists, WHQR staff and on-air personalities while enjoying great food and wine. An additional reception will be held Friday, Oct. 23 and the show will remain on display until Nov. 13.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of art benefits WHQR.
Jamison has demonstrated remarkable growth since she started painting in 2007. She has worked with watercolors and pastels, but her primary interest is painting with oils and creating mixed-media paper collages. Her impres-sionist style and use of rich color are her vehicles of self-expression.
“One of my first was over-coming the fear of putting down the first stroke of the brush,” Jamison said. “An-other was to move beyond painting what I see, to paint-ing what I feel. I strive for my work to provoke an emotion or tell a story.”
Jamison is a self-taught,
award-winning artist who is an active member of the Rappahannock Art League in Kilmarnock. She displays
her work year-round in their Studio Gallery as well as in juried shows t h r o u g h o u t Virginia.
She has re-c e n t ly b e e n accepted as a member of the
Northern Neck Artisan Trail.
M c G u i r e , from travel executive to art-ist traveling the world on business, to capturing the same world in her landscape paintings, enjoys being able to reflect different scener-ies, bucolic meadows, sunny fields and seascapes in her paintings.
Having retired to Bruns-wick County, she now travels, reads, refreshes her language skills, sails and dedicates most of her free time to paint-ing the world she loves.
She had a solo show at the Olde Town Gallery in Fayetteville and had works hung at the Cape Fear Studio, Franklin Square Gallery and Sunset River Marketplace in Calabash and has been Featured Artist of the Month for the Oak Island Art Guild. Gallery hours are Monday – Friday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. The MC Erny Gallery at WHQR is on the third floor of The Warwick Building at 254 N. Front Street in downtown Wilmington.
nFamilies, classes en-couraged to visit nation-al parks.
Moores Creek National Battlefield invites all fourth grade students to visit the park as part of the White House’s new Every Kid in a Park pro-gram. Starting Sept. 1, fourth grade students can now go to www.everykidinapark.gov to complete an activity and obtain a free annual entry
pass to more than 2,000 federal recreation areas, including national parks.
“During the National Park Service’s centennial celebra-tion, we want everyone to get to know their national parks, and we’re offering a special invitation to fourth graders and their families to discover everything that national parks offer,” said National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis. “We hope these free passes for fourth graders will introduce them, their classes and families to our national treasures — places where they can run and play, explore and learn.”
Moores Creek National Battlefield offers a variety of activities that fourth graders and their family can enjoy, including guided interpretive and educational programs, science-based summer camps and a self-guided Junior Rang-er program, to name a few.
To receive free national parks passes, fourth graders and their teachers can visit the Every Kid in a Park website and play a game to access their special Every Kid in a Park pass. Fourth graders and their families can use this pass for free entry into national parks and other federal public lands and waters across the country from Sept. 1, 2015 through Aug. 31, 2016. Students will receive a paper pass, but these passes can be redeemed for a plastic pass at Moores Creek National
Battlefield. The website also includes fun and engaging learning activities aligned to educational standards, trip planning tools, safety and packing tips and other impor-tant and helpful information for educators and parents.
In addition to providing ev-ery fourth grader in America a free entry pass for national parks and federal public lands and waters, fourth grade edu-cators, including homeschool educators, youth group lead-ers and their students across the country will also partici-pate in the program through field trips and other learning experiences. The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge directly relates to the fourth grade curriculum and students can expect to see and experience history in a personal way. Making a field trip reservation is free and requires very little hassle on the teacher’s end.
If the educator or principal would like for a Park Ranger from Moores Creek to come out to their school and assist with getting their class or entire fourth grade set up, park staff would be more than willing to come out and make a site visit free of charge and assist students in getting their passes. Park staff may even be able to bring the plastic passes and allow each child to trade in their paper pass for a plastic pass. However, paper passes will be accepted at all National Parks and Federal lands.

It must take all the king’s horses to build a courthouse.
After the new courthouse’s opening was delayed by several months, it’s been plagued with several design or construc-tion issues, cost overruns, and now, a lack of proper electronic gear to conduct proceedings.
Officials say that more funds are being allocated to fix the problem, but Columbus County’s so-called modern courthouse isn’t so modern when it isn’t equipped with video screens that allow evidence to be presented.
Deputies still must drive inmates to the court-house for their first appear-ances. This takes an incredible amount of time and resources for what could be a relatively simple task.
Most counties, especially those with new courthouses, use video conferencing for first appearances, with the defendant never having to leave the jail. Judges, at-torneys, the district attorney’s office and deputies welcomed this highly anticipat-ed new feature in the courthouse.
The county jail is ready and able to provide video conferencing for first ap-pearances.
The new courthouse has had many is-sues, the most recent of which is the rev-elation that the air conditioning system isn’t adequate to remove humidity from the building.This requires dehumidifiers to be placed around the facility, including the courtrooms.
One judge has even indicated that he’ll hold court in the Demsey Herring An-nex on Smith Street due to the heat and humidity at the new facility.
The new courthouse was needed, but it should be done right. Between budget cuts and poor engineering, as evidenced by the dehumidifiers and the absence of video conferencing for first appearance, taxpayers are not getting what they paid for, and justice is suffering.
There continues to be a disconnect be-tween the county, the architect and what judges demand for a proper trial, hearing or first appearance.
Every project of this magnitude has a punch list, which points out uncompleted aspects of a project or faults in construc-tion. The major players need to finalize a punch list and put all these not-so-insig-nificant issues to bed.
At some point, the facility will be fully functional, but one has to wonder when that will be. The problems that lie ahead are not insignificant, nor are they accept-able.

“He that will not work shall not eat (except by sickness he be disabled),” Captain John Smith told the 1609 Jamestown colonists. It wasn’t a new idea, in fact it dates back to at least the first century when the Apostle Paul wrote the church in Thes-salonica, “For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.”
Our nation was founded on the concept that we are sturdy, hard-working people, responsible for ourselves but also to our neigh-bors. We have long been willing to help those who could not help themselves and in that spirit of compas-sion al-lowed gov-ernment programs to provide that help, especially during The Great De-pression.
We grew increas-ingly concerned that some who were able to help themselves had become too dependent on government as-sistance. In 1996, President Bill Clinton signed welfare to work legislation into law. Workfare, as it was called, proclaimed that those who were able had to work to continue what had become commonly known as welfare. Many predicted that poverty and hunger would soar as people left the welfare rolls, but just the opposite happened. The welfare rolls dropped from 5 to 2 million, largely among those who had never been married.
There is nothing wrong with asking those in the wagon who can, to get out and help pull with the rest of us, former Texas Sena-tor Phil Gramm explained. There is strong evidence that work is essential in helping establish a person’s sense of self worth and dignity.
We cannot allow our compas-sion and generosity to move us to lessen the requirements or qualifications, or attempt to justify why some aren’t working. But we must also avoid the trap of calling those who receive these benefits worthless or lazy, as some have done.
Workfare was a great concept and worked pretty well for more than 20 years but the Great Reces-sion of 2008 knocked the props from under this success story. Unemployment soared and those who could not find work increas-ingly turned to government help.
More than 40 states, including North Carolina, received waiv-ers from the requirement that food stamp recipients must work, volunteer or be enrolled in job training programs in order to receive more than three months of benefits in a three-year period.
The Department of Health and Human Services has announced our state will begin restoring the work requirement in counties over the next six months, affect-ing more than 100,000 current recipients. Maine reinstated these work provisions last year and the number of recipients dropped from 12,000 to 2,500.
If we truly want to help people off “the public dole” and onto a road of self-sufficiency our legislature must help by restor-ing the earned income tax credit they eliminated several years ago. This is often the difference between making it or not to lower income citizens.
We can debate what constitutes an “able” person or even what qualifies as work, but we strongly support the principle that those who can work should do so. We also recognize that some need help in the transition to self-suffi-ciency and North Carolina would be an uncaring state if we were not willing to provide that help.

The pointFirst its opening was de-layed by months, then is-sues with an HVAC system that can’t remove enough humdity from the air popped up. Now, essential electronic equipment, par-ticulary that which would allow video conferences for first appearances, is not in place.
Church at nightBY RAY LUNDY

Restoring N.C.welfare to workrequirements

Walking down the yellow line in the middle of Highway 76, I can see the bright lights illuminating the front of the church and steeple. It is late; a light rain is falling, and from under my poncho I stop and observe the beauty of the old church at night.
I have walked past her many times at night, but not in a light rain. The rain increases, and the large drops dance on the pavement. The rain drops look like small round diamonds in the bright
light. The scene reminds me of a
poem written by my old friend and literature lover, David J. Small. The only thing missing is the pic-ture of Fair Bluff Baptist Church at night. Thanks, David.
Fair Bluff Baptist Church At NightTattered by time it standsStraight and tall, stoically sen-
tineledOn the river’s edgeEchoes of harmonious evening
hymnsSung by long-gone choirs
Its lights within cast shadowsAcross old oak pews which heldThose who once knelt rever-
entlyAnd illuminates the stained-
glass windowsNamed for families who once
sat in their special places.
From its steeple the beckoning bell
Sounds across sleepy streets, a reminder
Of its simple solace,Glory be to God’s Holy House.
“The calls that you’re going on, there has never been an issue with (quality of care). It’s getting you to the patient’s bedside and then to the emergency room that we’re talking about.”– Dr. Dr Joseph Dell’Aria, medical director for county rescue squads, on missed calls at Cerro Gordo Rescue. A declining number of volunteers continues to hurt the operations at a number of EMS units in the Columbus County.
“There’s a place for the emergency room and a place for your primary care doc. We’re not going to replace either. We’re just a great middle step for you when it’s Friday and 5 o’clock and your child needs medical attention for something that’s not critical.”– Larry Burroughs, who will be one of the physician assistants at the Columbus Re-gional Urgent Care center. The urgent care center is temporarily located at the rear of the hospital near the main entrance, but will be moved to the building that currently houses the open MRI on Jefferson Street west of the main facility.

His muzzle was gray and scarred, and the ears a ragged, un-even, unmatched pair that would have caused many a bench trial champion to throw up his hands in frustration. He was skinny, but not gaunt, in fighting trim, as opposed to malnourished, despite what the sometimes-shrill animal rescue people’s claim. His toenails were worn by thousands of miles of honest work in sand and soil and swamp, scrabbling his way over fallen trees after the day’s prey.
His paws were those of a work-ingman, scarred and calloused. He wasn’t stupid, by any means, since he kept farther off the road and had greater situational aware-ness of most humans who bicycle, moped, or walk down the side of the highway.
I almost always check hounds I see walking beside the road, since far too many of them are cast aside when they reach the end of their usefulness to those for whom hunt-ing is a sport to be enjoyed from a truck rather than on the ground. This fellow was friendly enough that I knew he wasn’t abandoned, and besides, he had a collar with a nameplate and an address just a mile or two up the road. There was even the name of a hunting club on the tag, the same club whose signs marked trees every few dozen yards, just across the ditch. After sharing the obliga-tory Nekot and relieving him of a few bloodsucking hitchhikers, I was rewarded with a tail wag and a polite farewell as he resumed his mile-eating trot toward home, hips and tail swinging in rhythm as they disappeared.
I am not a dog hunter, as people like to call them; the correct term is ‘houndsman,’ although few folks even know that word anymore. Although I am not a houndsman, a dog hunter, or whatever term you prefer, I have nothing against ethical, legal hunting with dogs. I love the symphony of coonhounds in the stillness of a freezing black night. There is no joy like that of a beagle striking a rabbit’s trail, and there is even beauty in the sometimes cacophonous babel of Walkers finding, trailing and then sighting a deer.
I have nothing against legal, ethical dog hunters; regardless of the claims of the high-priced lobbyists we still hunters and trappers fight every year in the legislature, I don’t know of any reasonable hunter who wants to see anyone prohibited from hunt-ing in whatever legal manner they choose on the land that they have the permission to enter. I have to pray for forgiveness any time I hear a dedicated still hunter talk of poisoning or shooting hunting
dogs, just as I have to similarly ask forgiveness when a dog hunter releases a half-dozen hounds on a 10-acre tract and swears he didn’t intend for them to invade the sur-rounding thousand acres.
My parents didn’t hunt, but when I decided I wanted to start hunting, they made sure I had old school, hardcore teachers and mentors. I used to wonder if Rob-ert Ruark’s grandfather in “The Old Man and the Boy” was purely a fantasy; then when Mr. Woody took me under his wing, I wondered if maybe my parents paid him to be so strict. But as time has gone on, I’ve discovered that we used to have a lot of mentors like this. We still have some, my good buddy Carl Clark a n d n o w h i s s o n , Jake, are e xc e l l e n t examples, but I still worry that we have far too many feral hunt-e r s w i t h no appre-ciation for their sport.
Take, for example, the kids I saw the other day. It was just after the opening day of dove season. The gang rode on a heavily-customized truck, dusted off the name-brand hunting clothes, broke out shot-guns that would cost me a couple months pay, and after posting multiple pictures to social media, they went hunting. Although I am sure their dog is well-trained and very expensive, he exhibited the manners of a happy toddler, as opposed to a motivated hunting dog. Thinking back, I wonder if the parents didn’t hire the same someone to train both dog and kids, but the dog didn’t cuss, at least that I heard.
I was greatly amused by the young ladies accompanying them, since both the girls were wearing makeup and earrings. I wouldn’t have been surprised if their own camo was pressed and laundered. I am reasonably sure they were lacking in buttons, elsewise I likely wouldn’t have known that one of the less modest young ladies was wearing a camo bikini. At least I hope it was a bikini top, and not something more intimate.
Now, if you hunt better by look-ing like a collision between trucks owned by Abercrombie and Fitch and Bass Pro, that’s your business.
If, however, you decide to ran-domly park beside a public high-way and begin blasting away at doves on powerlines stretching over posted property, that makes it my business. The aforementioned kids did just that.
The kids roared away when
they saw me coming, and having neither the horsepower nor the authority to pursue them (on the public roads, anyway), I just noted what I could of the vehicles and license tags, and filed them away for later reference, namely when strange tire tracks appear on the wrong side of those aforemen-tioned posted signs, and spotlights flash across the pastures at my barn, followed by shots in the night and rousing cheers.
I never thought I’d live long enough to say the following words, but when I was young, things were different. Rare was the land we hunted without asking permission first. We were courteous of other hunters. If we didn’t have enough area to hunt with dogs (when we had trailing hounds to hunt with) we went somewhere that we did. We tried not to rain shot down on unsuspecting people who did not understand that doves were between us and them. We hunted around part-time jobs that helped pay for shells and fuel, as opposed to skipping school and demand-ing a credit card paid for by our parents.
If I sound harsh, it’s with good reason. I love to hunt, trap and fish. If I see arrogance and bad be-havior on the art of some hunters, what does the general public see? If a landowner hears a huntin’ bum demand entry, lie about the law and threaten to burn some-one’s property, all because a hound can’t read, what is that landowner likely to say when someone who does respect his property asks permission? Too many times in recent years I’ve heard folks say the words, “We don’t let anybody in, because we’d have to let every-body hunt here.”
My hunting hosts know me; they know I follow their rules. I re-spect their property, as well as the greater privilege to pursue wild game. Whether or not I agree with every decision is immaterial. I’m a guest, and hunting is a privilege, not a right.
I don’t need to kill something every time I go to the woods, nor do I feel I have some right to violate the law if my legal hunt hasn’t been successful. Mr. Woody and so many others taught me that if you cherish God’s forests and fields, you can set yourself aside and re-alize there are far more important things than how tall a truck is, how much a gun cost, or what brand of camouflage you can afford.
What I was taught was not a love of self and expensive things, not a love of blood and bragging rights, but a love of the hunt.
If we forget that love, we’ll lose the object of our affections, and hunting will disappear like the tail of a old hound making his way home down the side of a long country road.

9/11 remembered at East Columbus High SchoolBy JEFFERSON WEAVER
Staff Writer
The auditorium at East Columbus High School went eerily silent for a few minutes Friday morning.
The students listened in-tently as teacher Latanya Patillo reminded them of Friday’s date.
“What’s printed in the his-tory books,” said Pattillo, “is also etched in our hearts. We must never forget what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, and we must strive to keep the principles of courage and freedom alive.”
Friday’s event was one of several in the area memorial-izing the nearly 3,000 Ameri-cans, including firefighters and police officers, killed in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Radical Muslim ter-rorists hijacked four airlin-ers, crashing two into the World Trade Center towers in New York and one into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Passengers overwhelmed the terrorists in a fourth plane, which crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pa.
The Junior ROTC of ECHS hosted the school’s 9/11 Re-membrance Friday. The pro-
gram featured the National Anthem sung by Antonio Figueroa and LaTavia Hardy, a recitation of the poem “110 Stories” by TiAnna Pyatt and Kristen Howard, and a mes-sage by Malaysia Small. The program also featured a video of the attacks in New York.
Lt. Col. Ophelia Munn-Goins called on the students for a moment of silence in honor of the victims of the attacks.
“Remember them,” she said.
Dr. Bryan Abernethy, prin-cipal for the school, noted that some of the students are too young to remember what they were doing when the attacks occurred.
“But I can assure you,” he said, “every adult in this room
can tell you exactly what they were doing, and when. This isn’t something you forget, and it’s something we mustn’t forget.”
Abernethy noted that most of the casualties of 9/11 were not military personnel fight-ing in a war zone, but civil-ians. The casualties continued as the country went to war against the countries that harbored and supported the terrorists, he said.
“And it doesn’t end there,” Abernethy said. He noted that a teacher in Pender County,
where he worked before ECHS, was recently diagnosed with what’s commonly called “WTC Cancer.” The condition is com-mon among people exposed to the dust and chemicals released when the towers col-lapsed.
The principal said he was familiar with the towers in New York, since his stepfather lived there.
“The view from the obser-vation deck at the WTC was not something you forget,” he said. “I’ve also been to Ground Zero, where the names of ev-
ery person who died that day are listed.”
Abernethy called on the students to honor the sacri-fices made in the War on ter-ror, and never to take freedom for granted.
“If you ever doubt what we have is precious,” Abernethy said, “take a look at what’s happening around the world – Syria, Yemen, the Central African Republic, and many more places. Just look at the news, and you’ll see why we should never take our freedom for granted.”
Students at ECHS raise the flag at the school Friday morning.
TiAnna Pyatt and Kristen Howard recite the poem “110 stories,” which re-counts the attack on the World Trade Center in New York.
Open Minds Teen Science Café (OMTSC) participants will get a behind the scenes tour of The News Reporter Friday, Sept. 18 as staff writ-er and photographer Fuller Royal takes them on a journey through the departments of the local newspaper. He will explain different phases that the newspaper must go through prior to being made available to the public, including adver-tising, editorial and produc-tion, plate dark room, printing press, distribution and news offices.

Details of a budget com-promise that N.C. Senate and House leaders say they reached Friday have to yet to be made public but officials say a con-ference report will be released today (Monday).
Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) and Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) announced in a press release that they reached a compro-mise on “several major budget provisions over the biennium.”
“We haven’t seen the budget deal yet,” said Rep. Ken Wad-dell, a Chadbourn Democrat. “I’m not going to commit to anything until I see it.”
Waddell said that funding for teacher assistants appears to be “safe” for one year but the funding source for the second year remains a mystery.
The House and Senate had been at odds over whether to give local school districts the authority to use money for teacher assistants for other purposes, if they elect to do so.
Waddell said that he had been told that tax incentives tied to job creation, commonly referred to as JDIG credits, were included in the compro-mise.
“There could be a lot of codicils,” he said. “There is a group up there that is adverse to incentives of any kind.”
He voiced concerns about the entire budget process and delays that may result from a limited few controlling all negotiations.
“If it is a negotiation that nobody is involved, then I can foresee a lot of problems and more worries,” Waddell said.
He said that President Pro Tem Phil Berger has such a stronghold in the Senate that his caucus will do “what he tells them to do. It’s not that way in the House.”
“We certainly understand that this has been a long and hard process, but our diverse and growing state needs a well-crafted, conservative budget to ensure a successful future,” Moore said. “I feel that Sen. Berger and I were able to reach good compromise on a number of issues that are important to our state. I look forward to re-viewing the final conference re-port with my House colleagues this weekend and Monday, and then setting a vote for this up-coming week.”
“I am grateful to Speaker Moore and members of the Senate and House for their willingness to compromise, and
their patience and persever-ance in reaching this tentative agreement,” Berger said. “I look forward to working with my Senate colleagues to pass a final budget next week.”
July 1 marked the beginning of the fiscal year. Lawmakers have passed three continuing budget resolution this year.
Driver’s education funding is expected to be part of the compromise but those details remain a secret.
Moore told reporters that caucus members and the con-ferees needed to review every-thing before it was released to the public.
Terms of an agreement on the state’s tax structure do not appear to be part of the compro-mise. More than $100 million in tax cuts had been proposed.
Berger said those differ-ences would be resolved soon.
The latest continuing budget resolution expires Friday.

Gators smash winless streak by conquering Titans 30-12
Pack holds off Trojan bid withbig-play offense, clutch defense
LAKE WACCAMAW - Persistence paid off for the East Columbus Gators football team Friday night.
After not winning a game all of last season and getting knocked around in their first two games this season, they stormed the door to victory Friday night with a 30-12 decision over the visiting Trask Titans. It was the Ga-tors’ first win in 15 outings.
Coach Rocky Lewis’ Gators domi-nated second half play and held pos-session of the football on the 10-yard line when time expired..
The Gators (1-2) had only 23 players suit up for the game, including two called “During out open date week, we emphasized running harder to the ball on defense, said Coach Lewis, whose Gators held a 14-6 halftime lead. We didn’t to do a very good job of that in our game with Lakewood, but things were much better tonight.”
Lewis, whose father Bob Lewis (a legendary figure in Eastern North Carolina high school football, who is still coaching at Clinton) used his team’s open date to watch his son gain his first win.
“It was special to have him here for this,” Rocky Lewis said.
Lewis pointed out that a key point in the game came when the Gators fumbled away the second half kickoff and Trask took over the ECHS 20.
“It was almost another ‘Here we go again,’ for us,” Lewis said. “But our defense went out and stopped them and we got a lot of momentum from that.”
The Gators held a 6-0 lead at the end
of the first quarter as Trumal Baldwin provided a four-yard touchdown run.
Trask, whose record fell to 1-3, got its first score on a run Tyrese Arm-strong
The second Gator score came on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Leumi-chael Jones to Dexter McKoy. Trumal Baldwin added a two-point conversion run for a 14-6 halftime lead.
Another scoring run by Armstrong cut the Gator lead to 14-12 in the third quarter, but ECHS controlled the score-board the rest of the way.
An interception by Thomas Yates help set up another touchdown for Baldwin and the Gators successfully converted a two-point conversion. Ryaan Collins added an 18-yard touch-down run and Jones passed to McKoy for another two-point conversion.
Late in the fourth quarter, T.J. Brown recovered a fumble that set up a touchdown by Darius Bellamy and a two-point conversion run by Chris Jacobs.
Yates and Brown had big nights on defense for Gators.
“I’m proud and happy for my play-ers and I feel like I got the monkey off my back,” said Lewis,. “We played only 20 players tonight and a lot of them played just about the whole game. It was a great team effort.”
The Gators will be back on their homefield this Friday when they are scheduled to take the field against Jones Senior at 7 p.m.

In a game involving several key turnovers, the Whiteville Wolfpack managed to finish on the top of a 26-22 score Friday over the visiting West Brunswick Trojans.
Senior quarterback Nydir Carr overcame two pass in-terceptions in the first half to run for two touchdowns and pass for two more as the Wolfpack evened its season record at 2-2.
Carr carried the ball 16 times for 157 yards, including touchdown runs of 51 and 41 yards. He also completed 12 of 20 passes for 120 yards, includ-ing touchdown passes of 30 yards to Cameron Smith and 28 yards to Wesley Thompson.
The Wolfpack was not flagged for a penalty the en-tire first half.
“I’m really proud of the way our guys played and the way they hung with it,” said WHS head coach Luke Little. “We turned the ball over too many times, but we came back with some big plays, and our defense came up big in some tight situations.”
The Wolfpack closed its non-conference schedule with a 2-2 record. Both losses came
Stallions fall hard to WRH
1965 champs honoredMembers of the 1965 Whiteville High championship football team applaud their head coach Buck Jolly (left) during Friday night’s halftime recognition of the team’s 50th anniversary of their 11-1 season that included the Region II-2A championship and a share of the 1965 state 2A championship. A total of 21 players from that record-shattering team were on hand for event. Jolly now resides in Elizabeth City. The 1965 Wolfpack lost its season-opening game to Lumberton but went on to capture the Waccamaw Athletic Association championship before claiming playoff wins over Wake Forest and Burgaw.
VINEGAR HILL - For the second straight year, the South Columbus Stallions have completed Three Rivers Conference play with a win-less record after falling to defending state 1AA champion Wallace-Rose Hill 52-0 Friday night.
Wallace-Rose Hill, coached by former South Columbus head coach Joey Price, quickly shook off the effects of its 33-15 loss to James Kenan Sept. 11 by taking control and jumping to a quick 14-0 lead on a pair of touchdown runs. A 48-yard punt return continued the Bulldog onslaught.
The Stallions were unable to advance the ball past their own 40-yard line the entire
evening.Wallace-Rose Hill improved
its season record to 3-1 while South Columbus slipped to 0-4.
Coach Kyle Hutchison’s South Columbus team, which was shut out for the first time this season, will have an open date Friday before stepping into Three Rivers 1A-2A Con-ference play on Sept. 25 in an away game at East Columbus.
Last year, the Stallions overcame their rough non-conference showing by win-ning five of their seven Three
Rivers Conference games. South Columbus has never
lost to East Columbus in their previous 24 meetings.
Price was making his first appearance at South Colum-bus since his 2009 departure to Wallace-Rose Hill.
In 12 seasons as SCHS head coach, Price coached the Stal-lions to 10 Waccamaw Confer-ence championships and his 2007 Stallion squad advanced to the state 2A finals and fin-ished with a 15-1 record.
Price’s WRH teams won state 1A championships in 2009 and 2010 and took the state 1AA title last fall.

ROWLAND - The South Co-lumbus High School volleyball team picked up a Three Rivers Conference victory Thurs-day, the day after topping Pur-nell Swett in a non-conference match.
The Lady Stallions swept South Robeson in three sets
Wednesday by scores of 25-11, 25-12 and 25-13.
Mattie Johnson led SCHS with seven service points and six kills while Taylor Turbev-ille and Lindsey Jones had four kills each.
Macy McPherson recorded 13 service points while Madi-
son Spencer followed with eight.
Hailey Sarvis contributed 18 assists as Coach David Mar-lowe’s South Columbus team put its conference record at 3-0
SCHS spikers garner two more victories
in its first two games with North Brunswick and East Bladen.
The Wolfpack will have an open date Friday and will travel to play West Columbus Sept. 25 to open defense of its last two Three Rivers Confer-ence championships.
“We’ll be working the next two weeks at getting every-body back healthy as much as possible.” Little said. “We’ve had several players having to sit out with injuries the past two weeks, but hopefully we’ll be getting most of them back.”
West Brunswick, which suf-fered its second straight loss, slipped to 2-2. The Trojans were paced by the quarter-backing of Hunter Ashburn and a hard running attack.
Whiteville’s defense was led by linebackers Andrew Pow-ell, Garrett Wilson, Moncho-via Gaffney, linemen Jarred Little and Roshad McNeil and defensive backs Wesley Thompson and Nate Powell.
Whiteville had some dif-ficulty getting established on offense as it was stopped on three plays on its first posses-sion and gave the ball up on its second possession when a second-down pass by Carr was intercepted by the Trojans.
Late in the first quarter,
the Wolfpack forced a Trojan punt, and two plays later Carr broke loose on his 45-yard scoring sprint that gave the Wolfpack a 6-0 lead as the first-quarter clock expired. Carr ran a sweep to his right for the successful two-point conversion that made the score 8-0.
After recovering a West Brunswick fumble on the second play of the second quarter, the Wolfpack had the ball at its own 41 yard line before the Trojans came up with an interception of another Carr pass.
The turnover led to a 48-yard scoring drive by Tro-jans, who got the points on a 26-yard scamper by Ashburn. Ashburn then caught the ball in the end zone off a halfback pass to make the score 8-8 with 8:47 left in the first half.
Whiteville came right back, moving the ball 65 yards on 10 plays and getting its second TD on a 30-yard, fourth-down pass from Carr to a wide open Cameron Smith to make the score 14-6. A two-point conversion try failed.

Attack on official puts serious detriment on high school footballIt was a stunning assault
on a high school football game official. Not just one player, but two, inflicted it.
It’s probably happened before, but not to this extent and certainly not caught on camera.
Two players attacked an official from the blindside during a live play Sept. 4 in one of the most flagrant and vicious acts I’ve seen on any type of athletic field. These were teenagers actually trying to inflict a critical injury on an adult right in the middle of the field. The video is sickening to watch.
It happened in Texas. Believe me, having been a son of the Texas football soil myself, there is no other pedestal that holds the sport as high.
Many Texas high schools deem losing on the football field as totally unacceptable and they back that up with multi-million dollar stadiums, indoor practice facilities and gigantic weight rooms. A coach can consistently put up records like 14-1 or 13-2 and still be pounded with harsh criticism by school administrators, parents and other staunch supporters for
not getting the job done. As far as I’m concerned, there is absolutely no exaggeration in Friday Night Lights (the book, the movie and the TV series). That’s all true-to-life stuff in the Lone Star State.
It’s really no longer a big deal when ESPN brings its cameras to Texas for another nationally televised high school game.
From August and into November and December, varsity football players are treated like kings in the halls and classrooms of their schools.
It’s a state where football
stands for everything. Many towns and communities base their annual economy on the success of their high school football teams. Season tickets are at a premium and often are handed down through several generations.
San Antonio’s John Jay High team made the 90-mile trip to take on Marble Falls in the second week of the season.
Apparently there had been signs of unrest throughout the game as two of Jay’s best players were ejected earlier for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The two players who made deadly hits have reportedly stated that the official had used racial slurs in addressing them. It was also reported that an assistant coach for the Jay squad made statements that could have encouraged the players to “take out” the official. Miraculously, the official did not receive life-threatening
injuries.Even back in the days
when I played, we were told more than once by our coach that good sportsmanship was for losers and that winning
stood out above all else.
We can put the blame wherever we want because this incident at Marble Falls could have just as easily have happened here in North Carolina or in any other state.
Suspensions are being upheld, arrests have been made. A difficult investigation is underway. These two teenagers could well face some serious jail time and will almost certainly never be allowed to play football again.
This one football game in Texas is a strong indicator that social standards of our country are continuing to crumble.
There is no trust. How many more senseless murders like those just recently in Charleston, Roanoke, Houston and Illinois are going to occur?
And now there is someone taking pot-shots at motorists as they drive a busy section of Interstate 10 in Arizona. This is certain to continue until the authorities are able to apprehend the person or persons responsible.
Where are we headed?
