A Community Tradition Since 1963
Garner, North Carolina 50¢
Mayor Williams first to file for re-election
By Kelly Griffith
E
Election filing opened Friday,
July 1 and right out of the gate,
Garner’s Mayor, Ronnie Williams,
was ready to file.
In fact, Williams was the first
in Wake County to file. He was in
Raleigh for some business and decided to stay to file his paperwork
at noon when filing opened.
With two terms as Garner’s
Williams
Mayor and five terms as an alderman under his belt, Williams
is a well-seasoned veteran of the
election game. And while he has
been in public office, he has seen
Garner grow and change in many
ways except for one.
Williams said the sense of community with a family-friendly atmosphere hasn’t been lost, even
as Garner has grown 45 percent
since the last census.
“I’m proud we’ve been able to
maintain that,” Williams said.
The upcoming election season
will bring issues of growth and
budgets, according to Williams
– two very important issues that
Garner will be forced to face in
the next four years.
A next term for Williams would
bring other issues as well, like financing and building a community
center and providing more space
for the Town Hall and Police Department. There will be plenty of
buzz too. Garner will open the
long-awaited Timber Drive extension and Williams hopes to help
cut a ribbon for it.
“I just want Garner to be a better place than when I started,”
Williams said.
Williams also has seen Garner
persevere through several obstacles. In his current term, Garner has rallied around ConAgra

Task force
established
to combat
burglaries
The Garner Police Department
has established a task force to address burglaries occurring in the
Town and recent public concern
regarding an unusual incident that
occurred on June 29th. In this
incident, a witness to a crime in
progress discharged a weapon at
possible suspects.
While this has brought attention to the burglaries in Garner,
this incident is not typical. Garner
Police investigators began a vigorous effort to solve burglaries after
an increase earlier in the year.
After arrests and other preventive efforts, residential burglaries
in June dropped to their lowest in
six months. Our efforts so far lead
us to believe that no one group of
suspects is responsible for all of
the residential burglaries. We do
want to emphasize that there has
been no violence on the part of any
of the suspects in these incidents.
The most recent description
provided is from the incident on
June 29; witnesses described two
black males in a white or lightcolored vehicle described as a
Pontiac or similarly styled vehicle.
There are likely other suspects
and/or vehicles involved in other
incidents.

Scholarship, success, style and service.
Miss Garner Zelle Brown exemplifies each
of the four points of the Miss America crown.
That’s what judges recognized June 21-25
during the Miss North Carolina pageant.
“It was an incredible experience,” Brown
said.
She was most nervous during the top 10
cut. She heard name after name called, hoping to hear her own. Finally, she was the
eighth contestant of the 10 called.
When the top five contestants were announced, Brown was shocked to hear her
name. When it got down to herself and Miss
Durham Haley Best, Brown was excited to
be standing on stage with one of her friends.
“I knew one of us was going to be Miss
North Carolina,” Brown said.
Best went on to win the pageant, but only
by a small margin.
A great week
One of Brown’s favorite moments from
the week was her interview with the judges.
Before taking the crown as Miss Garner,
the interview was her least favorite part of
pageantry; but with the help of her committee, she was confident during the nine and
a half minute interview at the state competi-
tion.
Brown said the interview felt like a conversation, just like it should. The time flew
by like she was just talking to someone new
and allowing them to get to know her better.
Brown’s other favorite part of the week
was performing her talent on stage during
the final night of the pageant.
“I love being on the stage,” Brown said.
Spending time with her sister and Carolina Princess, Leah, was another highlight.
The sisters performed to a Rocky boxing
number during the Miss Carolina pageant.

With an assignment plan that shifts students from school to school, class reunions
have become a thing of the past for Wake
County schools. Students don’t feel an attachment to the high school they graduated
from.
That is what makes the upcoming 30th
year reunion so special for the Garner
Senior High School Class of 1981. The
tight-knit class of nearly 380 students has
gathered every five years since graduating
from GSHS for a time to share memories
and make new ones.
In 2006, nearly 200 students and spouses
came back and the reunion committee hopes
to have even more this year.
The classmates will meet at the Clarion
Hotel in downtown Raleigh on Aug. 27 for
a cocktail party. The group also will host a

fore. If there is a football game scheduled
that Friday night, the class hopes to attend
as a group.
Social media has been a major factor in
achieving that goal. The committee set up a
Facebook page, a blog and a website to connect with past classmates.
Projects Director Sherry O’Neal said post
cards were sent to students that couldn’t be
found online. However, after posting a list of
missing classmates on Facebook, the committee was able to find several students and
cut costs on post cards.
The committee, which consists of O’Neal,
Donna Hardin, Juane Smith, Lori Poole

Comer, Teresa Harrington, Beverly Seagroves Wilson, Todd Jones, David Cawthorn
and Michael Stephenon, has been planning
for more than a year for the upcoming event.

As of June 30, the 40/42
Library Association will no
longer exist.
The Board of Directors
decided June 21 to dissolve
the non-profit, charitable
organization, which worked
for several years to bring a
library to the Cleveland
Community.
The decision was made
for several reasons. The
Library Association has
worked to secure shared
space, but with the downturn in the economy, that
became even more of a
challenge.
Also, not having brick
and mortar made it hard for
people to make an associa-
tion with the library in the
community. The Library
Association did host a successful reading contest for
several years, which helped
promote their efforts.
Ultimately, Cleveland Library’s success in securing
the Bookmobile helped cement the decision.
“The Cleveland Library
is doing so well and we
wish them all the best,”
said Ann Blake, president
of the 40/42 Library Association. “It would be a duplication of efforts at this
point.”
The 40/42 Library Association would like to
thank several individuals
who were key to the organization’s promotion in
the community. Don Wells,
past president of the Chamber of Commerce, has donated his time and talents
to the Library Association
Board of Directors.
They also would like to
thank Frank Pittman for
his assistance in filing for
non-profit status, as well as
ongoing tax work over the
years.
Whether it’s community
awareness of the need for a
library to promote reading
as a whole, everyone in the
Cleveland Community has
benefited from the 40/42
Library Association.

The compliment
that ended my
exercise routine
I was standing near the
cash register at a local
convenience store the
other day, chatting with
a former employee at the
store who had stopped by
for a quick visit. I talked
with her
briefly
about her
new job as a
truck driver
and then
walked out
the front
J.T. Smith door. I had
taken only a
few steps when I heard her
voice behind me. “Hey,”
she yelled. “You sure do
look good.” A wave of
pride surged through my
body. “Finally,” I thought
to myself. “After all the
workouts I’ve been doing
lately, someone is giving
me a compliment.
I spun around, flashed
a big smile, and replied,
“Well, thank you.”
That’s when I realized I
had made a major mistake.
You see, she was actually
speaking to another gentleman who was walking
toward the store.
I can’t remember the
last time I had been so
humiliated. I could feel
the blood rushing to my
cheeks and beads of sweat
popping up on my forehead. I quickly scanned
the parking lot for a
place to hide, but there
was nowhere to go. I had
parked near the back of
the lot and I was still at
least 100 feet from my
car. I increased my speed
to a slow jog and headed
straight for my driver’s
door. If my driver’s window had been opened, I
would have dived through
it. I havn’t been back to
the store since.
The next day, I was leaning back in my recliner,
watching TV and thinking
about the embarrassing
incident at the store. As
I sat there, reliving the
scene over and over in
my brain, I came to the
conclusion that the entire
scene at the store could
have been directly related
to my new workout regimen. If I hadn’t been pushing my body so hard in my
fitness routine, I wouldn’t
have been under the false
impression that I had
tuned my muscles and abs
into a masterpiece, worthy
of much praise and admiration. Before I started the
intense workouts, I would
have just assumed I wasn’t
the object of the lady’s
compliment that day.
Truthfully, I’m thrilled
I decided to quit working
out. My new workout was
about to take me out. I
don’t know what is worse,
high cholesterol or a couple of ruptured tendons.
I’m 47 years old now, and
my old limbs can’t handle
a lot of pounding. I was
pushing myself to the extreme, trying to shed the
extra weight.
Once, I even tried to
wear ankle weights while
I was running on the
treadmill. It took my calf
muscles more than two
weeks to recover from that
workout. My legs were so
sore I couldn’t even push
the gas pedal in my car
without grimacing in pain.
I didn’t even attempt to
climb any steps. I figured
that there was no need to
torture myself any further.
Now, that I’ve given up
on exercise I guess I’ll
have to find some other
way to fill my spare time.
Maybe I can play more
golf. After all, a round a
golf isn‘t exercise; it’s
just like a pleasant stroll
through a lush garden.
At least I don’t have to
worry about anybody paying me a compliment and
embarrassing myself again
by responding to their
praise, while I’m on the
golf course. Believe me;
nobody has ever had anything good to say about my
golf game.

E-VIC member v.s. VIC card holder
The Frugal
Family
STEPHANIE
EATON
HARVIE
I am typically not a big
Harris Teeter shopper,
but I have to admit that I
am addicted to their e-VIC
program. For those not
familiar with the Harris
Teeter e-VIC program, let
me explain the difference
between the store’s e-VIC
program and their typical
VIC card program.
I have been a Harris
Teeter VIC card holder for
years. With the VIC card I
receive my little red plastic card that I can receive
discounts throughout the
stores.
During the last year I
have taken my VIC card
membership one step
further and signed up for
the e-VIC program. All you
have to do to become an
e-Vic member is to go to
the Harris Teeter website
and fill out a simple form.
With the e-VIC program,
customers will be able to
receive weekly e-mail notifications when items that
they typically buy go on
sale. I typically receive an
email on Tuesday notifying
me of their weekly specials and then on Friday
night with their special
e-VIC item of the week.
E-VIC members receive
further discounts than
regular VIC card holders,
are able to make an online
shopping list and are entered into various sweepstakes in the store.
I love their e-VIC items
of the week. I have received a 12-pack of Coca
Cola products for less than
$2, eggs for 66 cents, a
box of Capri Suns drinks
for less than a $1 and milk
that saved me more than
a dollar on what I typically
pay at any other store.
With the e-VIC program
you do not have to have
coupons; you just swipe
your VIC card and it takes
your discounts off automatically at the register.
However, you can add coupons to these discounts
and save even more!
I also remind shoppers
not to forget the store’s
double coupon policy.
Harris Teeter doubles up
to 20 coupons a day with
a VIC card. Store officials
allow shoppers to double
coupons up to three identical items with manufacturer coupons. According
to the store’s website,
additional coupons for like
item will be honored at
face value.
“We double manufacturer’s coupons up to face
value of $0.99; with total
amount not to exceed
$1.98 or entire retail of
item; whichever is less,”
the company’s website
says.
While the store does
accept competitor’s coupons, they do not double
or triple their competitor’s
coupons. To learn more
about the store’s coupon
policy and how you can be
an e-VIC member, I would
encourage you to check
out the store’s website.

Fiction tells truth about NC’s
changing rural landscape
One on One
D.G.
MARTIN
We have changed.
More urban. Less rural
and farming.
At least that is what the
latest Census is telling us.
But the story is more
complicated. It is more interesting, too. Out in the
formerly all-rural counties
of our state, new kinds of
residents have moved in.
But lots of the old-time
residents are still there.
How do fifth-generation
farming families interact
with back-to-the-land newcomers, suburbanite encroachers, and retirement
community residents?
The census does not
give us the answer.
Maybe the answer can
be found best in fiction.
Chatham County’s
award-winning writer Marjorie Hudson has given
it a try in a new book of
short stories, “Accidental
Birds of the Carolinas:
Stories about newcomers and natives, and the
healing power of the rural
South.”
Hudson sets her stories in a fictional Ambler
County, which is much
like her own Chatham
County. Like Chatham,
Ambler is rural by tradi-
tion, but growth from
nearby cities is expanding
across the county lines.
At the same time, idealistic young people from all
over the country are still
moving to rural Ambler to
try their hands at living
on the land and off the
grid. The natives and the
“accidental” newcomers
are characters who move
through Hudson’s stories.
In “The Clearing,” a
woman running away
from a broken relationship moves into an old
farmhouse in bad repair.
When the pipes freeze,
a crusty local plumber
named Whiskey Collins
fixes them. Before you
know, he is fixing everything for her. They may
be an unlikely pair, but
when they wind up making love in the water of
a spring hole, neither
seems to care that they
might not be meant for
each other.
In “Rapture,” an oldtimer named Sarton Lee
and his wife, Miss Irma,
had a daughter Trudy,
who was a mess. When
she died of a drug overdose, Sarton and Irma
were left to raise Trudy’s
daughter, Nancy. They
love her. Then she falls
sick, and, as Sarton says,
“The good Lord in his
wisdom dragged it out
for a full year, that son of
a bitch.” There is much
more to the story but,
quoting Sarton again,
“You are never so alone
as when a child dies.”
“The High Life” is the
story of Dip, a 15-year-old
runaway, who is working at a carnival that
has stopped in town. He
helps Royal, a hard-core
carnival man, who, ugly
and dirty as he is, still is
a great seducer. Dip has
a hard time adjusting to
his new life and ultimately
runs away again.
Nina is married to a
mentally ravaged-by-war
soldier who turns his
wrath on her. A voice
tells her to leave. Driving
through North Carolina,
she sees a sign, “Providence,” which gives the
story its title. She stops,
finds an old house to rent
for $50 a month, and
settles in.
In “Home,” a young
woman marries Carter,
who lives on a farm.
Carter’s son from his first
marriage loves the farm
where he, his mom, and
Carter, once lived. The
new wife’s marriage is
haunted by her thoughts
of Carter’s first family’s
life on the farm where
she now lives.
In the title story, a retired Army colonel trying
to get used to subdivision
life in Ambler County
loses his wife unexpectedly. He finds himself ill
equipped to deal with his
new circumstances.
“The Outside World,”
really a novella, tracks the
marriage of a student at
Chapel Hill who falls in
love with her professor.
She follows him to a farm
in Ambler County, where
he tries to replicate the
experience of Henry Thoreau, resulting in special
challenges to their lives
and marriage.
Sometimes fiction is
the best way to tell the
truth.
This time, Marjorie
Hudson’s fiction does the
job.

This week’s (Friday,
July 15, and Sunday, July
17) guest is John Hart, author of “Iron House.”
A year or two ago, when
John Hart told us about
“The Lost Child” he said
it was the best book he’d
written so we shouldn’t
have been surprised when
it won for him a second
Edgar Award for the best
mystery novel of the year.
Now he has a new book
that he says is even better
yet. Hard to believe, perhaps, but the early signs
tell us that “Iron House”
is going to be another
John Hart success story.

Eleven Wake County lenders and
the area’s leading business service
providers have joined in an effort
to get businesses and the North
Carolina economy growing again.
The 11 lenders — BB&T, Coastal
Federal Credit Union, Crescent
State Bank, First Citizens Bank
and Trust, First Federal Bank, KS
Bank, North State Bank, Paragon
Commercial Bank, Patriot State
Bank, Southern Community Bank
& Trust and Trust Atlantic Bank
— have enrolled in a new program
that makes it easier for businesses
and nonprofits to borrow capital for
operations and expansions.
The N.C. Capital Access Program
establishes a reserve program that
allows lenders to consider loans
that fall just outside their usual
underwriting standards. The local
lenders are among 54 institutions,
presenting 1,100 branches statewide, that have enrolled in NCCAP.
Interested businesses apply for
loans through normal channels
with their local lenders.
Local service providers stand
ready to assist prospective borrowers in preparing business plans
and loan applications. They include
the Small Business Center at Wake
Technical Community College (contact Den Dillo at 919-335-1007) and
the N.C. Small Business and Technology Development Center office
at North Carolina State University
(919-600-5999).
Garner ‘rose to the occasion’ to overcome the threats of the Red Route and a lost library
workers after the major accident in June
2009 that left four dead and many more
injured. He also has been a part of overcoming the threats of the Red Route and
a lost library.
“I think we’re stronger for it, and we’re
a better community,” Williams said.
“We rose to the occasion. We all came
together as Garner has always done.”
As Republicans and Democrats duke it
out on the floors of Congress, he said the
ability to work together has been much
easier locally. The mandatory balanced
budget has been a big part of that.
“Partisan politics don’t have a part in
it,” he said.
This time around, Williams has a personal giant to face as well. Diagnosed
with Parkinsons Disease in 2008, he has
only missed two days of work because of
symptoms. He attributes his good health
so far to prayer, medicine, exercise and
the expertise of his doctors.
Williams has been open about his
health since the diagnosis and said his
doctors have told him he should be in
good shape for four more years if he is
reelected.
Williams said he won’t face the upcoming election alone. His wife, Betsy, is the
most aware of her husband’s love for
his job. She has been patient and understanding when phone calls come in early
in the morning or late at night.
“My wife is a saint,” Williams said.
He said his two sons, and even his
granddaughter, have been very supportive of his time as mayor.
“My family is supportive, and I’m
blessed,” Williams said.

More to explore after study abroad
Jessica Highsmith
I
After four weeks of gallivanting through the streets
of Florence and seeing
some of the most beautiful
architecture and art in the
world, I knew I wouldn’t be
too heartbroken for long.
Although my amazing study
abroad program was drawing
to a close, I had a seven-day
cruise around the Mediterranean in store for me directly
after.
The best part was being
able to get off of the train
in Rome after a hectic and
stressful day of traveling
and being greeted by the
loving faces of my family in
the Roma Termini train station. There is nothing like
seeing some familiar faces
after a day of traveling in a
foreign country where you
can squeeze out about three
words of the native language—okay maybe five.
After sightseeing around
Rome and of course being
sure to take some touristy
pictures with the Coliseum,
The Spanish Steps and the
Trevi Fountain, we were
off to the port in Civitavecchia to embark on our glorious seven-day cruise on the
same waters that once were
home to merchants and trav-
elers of some of the most ancient civilizations in history.
The first place we ventured down to was Messina,
Sicily, arguably one of the
most beautiful and charming places in Italy—even if
it’s known for its notorious
Mafia-linked roots. We took
a short scenic drive through
the rolling green countryside to a vineyard and delighted in some of the most
delicious wine I have ever
tasted.
After the wine tasting, we
went down to the quaint village of Taormina. This little
village was full of medieval
charm and character with
an incredible view of jagged
cliffs jutting over piercing
blue water. As we walked
through the village, the
sweet melody of men strumming on Italian guitars and
playing accordions filled our
ears.
We wandered through a
bed of hardened molten lava
rock that sat at the foot of
Mt. Etna, the largest active
volcano in Europe.
Our second port of call
was in Valetta, Malta, a small
island situated between Italy
and Africa. When we woke
up and looked outside our
balcony window on the ship,
it looked more like we were
in a beautiful Middle East-

ern country with its massive fortifications and tan
Baroque-style architecture.
We actually were supposed
to be in Athens, Greece this
day. Unfortunately, it was
deemed too unsafe to visit
because of the rioting and
political turmoil going on
currently.
We got off the ship that
morning and began exploring the beautiful island of
Malta—a hidden treasure
that was once part of the
Roman Empire and also
played a significant role in
Roman Christian history.
We got to visit Marsaxlokk,
a small fishing village on the
southeastern coast of Malta.
Everywhere you looked in
the port you spotted colorful little gondola boats with
fisherman of all ages preparing for a day of fishing. The
boats were called Luzzus,
a type of gondola boat we
learned was used by fishermen to capture the Mediterranean fish, lampuki.
We ventured over to a ma-
jestic Blue Grotto, a number
of sea caverns on the southern coast of Malta, west of
the Wied iz- urrieq harbor
near the village of urrieq.
The view we had of the Blue
Grotto was absolutely breath
taking and looked like something you would see on a
postcard.
The next port of call was
to Kusadasi, Turkey, which
easily might be one of the
most intriguing places I
have ever visited. The striking coast of Turkey gives
those of the Bahamas and
Capri a run for their money.
When we got off the boat,
we headed straight to the
Turkish Bazaars that were
filled with the most beautiful hand-woven purses and
linens, handmade jewelry
and countless other Turkish
delights.
After being consumed by
the never-ending treasures
of the Turkish Bazaars, we
had the opportunity to go to
a Turkish “carpet show,” in
which we got to see some of
the most ornate and beautiful hand-woven carpets in
the entire world. The men
would drop the carpets
abruptly on the floor so that
they rolled perfectly to the
toes on your feet. When
the carpet show came to a
close, we were taken back
when a group of 10 men in
business suits flooded the
room and earnestly tried to
make a sale on the exquisite
carpets before us. Between
the grandiose carpets and
the never-ending silk linens
draped throughout the Turkish Bazaars, I felt as if I had
stepped into a magical scene
from Arabian Nights.
Our last stop was to the
beautiful island of Crete,
which surpasses any island
I have ever been to. It is located in the southern part of
the Aegean Sea, separating
the Aegean from the Libyan
Sea. After docking in Chania, we decided to spend our
entire day lounging on the
beaches of Crete, with our
toes nestled into the warm
sand and our eyes fixated on
the enthralling landscape.
Feeling a little adventurous, we moseyed down to
a cave we saw hiding in the
rock at one of the corners of
the island. After exploring
the cave, we took a moment
to stop and take in the smell
of the salty breeze mixed
with the intoxicating views
of the aquamarine water.
There couldn’t have been a
more perfect destination to
end our luxurious excursion
across the Mediterranean
Sea than the island of Crete.

Earle R. Purser
Earle R. Purser, 90, died
Wednesday, July 6, 2011.
Born in Union County, he
was the son of the late Adam
and Daisy Purser. He served
in the Army during WWII
and was stationed in Guadalcanal. In 1950, he graduated from Wake Forest Law
School and began practicing
law that year and continued
to practice until April 2011.
He was a member in good
standing with the N.C. State
Bar and an honorary member with the Wake County
Bar Association, having
served on several committees. He was a counselor
for lawyers with alcohol
problems and a mentor for
Alcoholics Anonymous. He
was always there to support
friends and family in need.
In addition to his law
practice, Earle was a 33rd
degree Scottish Rite Mason.
He was Past Master of
Garner Lodge # 701 and a
member of Amran Shrine
Temple. He was an active,
longtime member of Ernest
Myatt Presbyterian Church
and had become a certified
lay minister. He enjoyed
preaching at small churches
as well as sharing his faith
with homeless Vietnam
Vets that lived in the woods
behind his house.
A true scholar, he spoke
several languages and had
a great love of history. He
maintained a wonderful
sense of humor and enjoyed
playing practical jokes.
Being outside and gardening
was yet another of his many
passions.
Earle was a devoted Garner High School football fan
and served as a mentor for
the varsity team for many
years.
Funeral services were
held at 2 p.m. Saturday,
July 9, 2011 at Ernest Myatt
Presbyterian Church. Burial
followed at Montlawn Memorial Park with Masonic
Rites.
Survivors include his
beloved wife, Carolyn W.
Purser; daughter, Amy
Sanders and husband,
Hank; son, Neal Purser and
wife, Wendy; grandchildren,
Morgan Hamme and Harris Purser; step children,
Craig Butler, Jeff Butler and
Heather Hankinson; step
grandchildren, Brandon
Butler, Mason Hankinson,
Lauren Butler, Cole Butler,
Cody Butler and Josh Barberena; sister, Jean Jackson
and brother, Nubert Purser.
In addition to his parents,
he was preceded in death by
his first wife, Naomi Garner
Purser; and sisters, Ruth
Rushing and Doris Stegall.
The family received
friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, July 8 at Bryan-Lee Funeral Home in Garner.
To quote Earle: “You see,
they think I’m old and they
think I don’t know what’s
going on. They think that
they need to take it easy on
me. They let me cut to the
front of the line. That’s fine,
take it easy on me. There is
something about 60 years of
practicing law that is hard
to beat. My mind is not as
sharp as it once was, but
I’ve got a few tricks up my
sleeve.”
The life he lived was one
of which most men only
dream.
Memorial contributions
may be made in Earle’s
name to Ernest Myatt Presbyterian Church, 4926 Fayetteville Road, Raleigh, NC
27603.

“A Night of Hope” will include praise and worship

his wife, Victoria, and a message from Pastor Joel.
Joel Osteen pastors Lakewood Church in Houston,
Texas, the largest church in

Family records online collection covers 96 counties
The collection has been viewed close
to 500,000 times since it went online in
2009. Online visitors come from over 100
countries, every state in the U.S. and 310
cities in North Carolina.
New donations have poured in since
2009, including those from Currituck
County Public Library, which recently donated 57 records.
The Family Records Online Collection
is comprised of Bible records – lists of
birth, marriage and death information
recorded in North Carolina family Bibles
throughout the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries – indexes to marriage and death
records in (mostly) Raleigh newspapers,
and photographs from Raleigh Hebrew
cemeteries.
Over time, the Archives and Library
The State Archives and State Library
team is calling on families in Graham,
Richmond, Madison and Polk counties to
help fill in a gap. Since 1967, archivists
and librarians have collected family Bible
records from people in 96 counties across
North Carolina – only those four remain
with no representation.
Nearly 1,500 of the roughly 2,200 family
Bible records in the State Archives collections are now available online through the
Family Records Online Collection and can
be accessed at http://familyrecords.ncdcr.
gov.
The project of the State Archives and
State Library staffers has also involved
volunteers to help transcribe the mostly
handwritten records to make them fully
searchable in the online database.

REUNION
staff hopes to add the remaining Bible records, select genealogy publications and
other records that will assist anyone interested in researching their family’s connection to North Carolina.
The most recent addition includes family names from A to W, although the bulk
begin with the letters M (including Mc/
Mac), N, O and P. In addition, 150 pages
of Bible Records from the Daughters of
the American Revolution are now available.
Still, the collection has no records from
Graham, Madison, Polk or Richmond
counties, and it’s hoped that donations
from private citizens or organizations can
help fill out the collection.
Bible records in which at least one
significant family event (birth, marriage,
death) takes places in North Carolina
prior to 1913 meet the criteria for inclusion.
This effort would not be possible without the ongoing collaboration of State Archives and State Library staff.
For more information about donating
records, go to http://statelibrary.ncdcr.
gov/dimp/digital/ncfamilyrecords/fhp_
brochure.pdf.
The State Library and the State Archives are part of the Department of Cultural Resources, the state agency with the
mission to enrich lives and communities,
and the vision to harness the state’s cultural resources to build North Carolina’s
social, cultural and economic future.

Committee able to find several students on Facebook
from front
The students of 1981 aren’t the only ones expected to
enjoy the event.
Classes from 1979 to 1983 have also been invited. Those
students went to school with the Class of 1981. O’Neal said
she is excited to see some of the other students at the reunion
as well. Photos from high school and past reunions will run on
a continuous loop during the cocktail party, giving everyone
plenty of stories to remember and share.
Teachers have been invited as well. The idea to include
teachers came when Phyllis Bagwell King, a Garner Elementary teacher, approached the committee in hopes to see her
past pupils.
The committee thought it would be great to include teachers to share in the special weekend.
But some students won’t be in attendance. For those students that have passed away, the committee set up a flower
fund.
With only about 360 students left in the class, the memorial
fund was created to send flowers to the families of those who
were lost.
“I don’t think in this day and age people are close like that,”
O’Neal said. “As large as we are, we have tried to keep our
class connected.”
O’Neal asks that students and teachers sign up by July 27.
When registering online, students have the opportunity to list
any deceased students they know of for the flower fund and
to request three favorite songs from 1981. The songs with the
most votes will be played at the cocktail party.
For more information or to register, go to www.gshs81.
com. The cost of the cocktail party is $35 per person. Teachers do not have to pay. Students and teachers also can call
O’Neal at 919-868-8031.

Dinner with friends is the perfect evening
What’s
Cooking
ANITA
WEEKES
About five times a year I get
to catch up with special friends
whom I share a special bond.
Our children all started kindergarten together at Lincoln
Heights Elementary. They are
now all grown and established
in their own lives, and our lives
have gone in all kinds of crazy
directions. Therefore, we try to
make it a point of gathering to
visit and share the latest. At the
same time, we also enjoy good
food and laughter.
My friend Jan, hosted a recent dinner at her lovely home
in Garner.
Relaxing in a cozy gazebo her
husband John built, we enjoyed
Susan’s homemade Sangria
along with the tranquil sound
of trickling water from their
nearby pond.
Jan prepared her family’s favorite salmon salad. She simply
cooked a whole salmon to perfection.
You can do this in the oven
or on the grill with your choice
of herbs. This main course
went with her wonderful salad
of mixed greens that included
grape tomatoes, chopped cucumber, olives, and feta cheese.
A traditional Caesar dressing is
used, however you can use your
dressing of choice.
A fresh fruit salad and homemade brownies could not have

EPA tips to stay cool and safe this summer
Limit the heat and the sun, but not the fun
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is
providing tips to protect
people from the dangers
of overexposure to the sun
and heat while still enjoying summer activities.
Excessive heat and ultraviolet (UV) radiation
are dangerous to people’s
health. Each year, more
people on average die in
the United States from
heat waves than from any
other natural disaster. And
every hour, one American
dies from skin cancer,
which is the most common cancer in the United
States.
During the summer
months, days are longer
and more people are outside for longer periods of
time, increasing the health
risks from heat exhaustion
and overexposure to the
sun. Cities and suburbs are
particularly vulnerable to
higher temperatures during the summer.
Many cities and suburbs
have air temperatures that
can be up to 22 degrees
Fahrenheit warmer than
the surrounding country-
side. Buildings and roads
intensify heat and UV dangers as they absorb the
sun’s rays and radiate the
heat back
throughout
the day and
night, known
as the heat
island effect.
Heat islands can intensify heat
waves. To
help reduce
the heat island effect,
plant trees,
shrubs and
vines, which
create shade
and protect
people from
UV radiation.
To avoid
heat exhaustion and overexposure to
the sun, follow these steps
to stay cool and safe this
summer:
1. Stay hydrated.
2. Wear lightweight
clothing. To keep
body temperature
and stay protected
UV radiation, wear
your
down
from
light-
weight, light-colored, and
loose-fitting clothing.
3. Apply sunscreen. Approximately 30 minutes
before heading outside,
apply SPF 15 or higher
sunscreen, and reapply
every two hours.
4. Protect your eyes and
face. Wear a wide-brimmed
hat and sunglasses to protect your eyes
from sun damage and the
development of
cataracts.
5.
Seek
shade. Find
shade during
the sun’s peak
hours between
10 a.m. and 4
p.m. to reduce
the risk of too
much sun exposure
6.
Teach
sun and heat
safety. Keep an
eye on others,
particularly the
elderly, remind
them to be safe in the sun
and the heat. Watch for
signs of heat illnesses,
which can include hot and
dry skin, confusion, hallucinations, and aggression.
7. Check the UV Index.
When planning outdoor activities check the UV Index
to identify the times that
pose the greatest risk for
overexposure to the sun.
8. Check the Air Quality Index. On hot summer
days, ozone levels can rise
making the air unhealthy
to breathe so be sure to
check the air quality index
before heading outside.

island effect: http://www.

American Red Cross rolls out red carpet for donors
Blood donors can get tech savvy this summer and help
save lives at the same time.
Presenting blood and platelet donors during the American
Red Cross “Donor Appreciation Days,” July 1 through 15,
will get a chance to win one of five Apple iPad 2’s. It’s just
one of the ways the Red Cross will say “thank you” to donors.
“This time of year is crucial as we work to keep up with
the demand for lifesaving blood,” said Joyce Brendel, chief
executive officer of the American Red Cross Carolinas Blood
Services Region. “As people take time out of their schedules
to donate blood, we want to show our donors how much we
appreciate them and their commitment to helping save the
lives of patients in need.”
The summer is typically one of the most challenging times
Win Apple iPad2 during
‘Donor Appreciation Days’
of the year for blood donations. Donations often decline as
schools are out of session and families take vacations. However, the need for blood is constant. In fact, it usually rises
due to seasonal accidents and elective surgeries.
There is always a special need for donors with type O
negative blood. O negative is the universal blood type and
can be given to donors of any type in an emergency situation.
The Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region provides
lifesaving blood to 103 hospitals and must have 1,600 people
give blood and platelets each weekday to meet hospital de-
mand. Accident victims as well as patients with cancer, sickle
cell disease, blood disorders and other illnesses receive lifesaving transfusions every day.
There is no substitute for blood and volunteer donors are
the only source.
Blood can be safely donated every 56 days. Platelets can
be safely given every two weeks, up to 24 times a year. Most
healthy people age 17 and older, 16 with parental consent,
who weigh at least 110 pounds, are eligible to donate blood
and platelets. Donors who are 18 and younger must also
meet specific height and weight requirements.
For more information or to schedule an appointment to
donate, please call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit redcrossblood.org.

Currituck National Wildlife Refuge may add
overpopulated deer, ferel hogs to hunting list
In The
Outdoors
FRED
BONNER
I’m often amazed at how many
hunters don’t realize just how
much hunting land is open for
public hunting in North Carolina.
During each summer thousands
of Tar Heel hunters begin to look
around for a hunting club to join
and completely ignore the fact
that the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission and the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(and other governmental agencies) offer over two million acres
of land to hunters across the state
of North Carolina.
While outdoorsmen pride themselves on the fact that we own
these lands that were purchased
and maintained through the taxes
we pay on our outdoor equipment
and the licenses we buy for the
privilege of using these lands,
there may be a small additional
“user fee” attached to those of
us who choose to hunt and fish
on our public hunting and fishing properties. When I see the
private hunting clubs that charge
their members high dollars for the
yearly dues to hunt there, these
user fees that our government
charges hunters seems really
small by comparison.
It’s unfortunate that some antihunting organizations have chosen to complain that our wildlife
refuges allow hunting on them.
For the most part these people
have paid very little toward these
lands we hunters paid for. The
wildlife management very definitely allows sport hunting as a
tool to manage this resource and
is very useful to hold wildlife populations that tend to become over
abundant under control.
A good example of how the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service used
hunting as a tool to control wildlife that has become overabundant
is their proposal to open the Currituck National Wildlife Refuge to
whitetail deer and feral hog hunting this year.
The whitetail deer population
on the Currituck NWR has become over abundant as has the
population of the feral (domestic
hogs gone wild) hogs. In order to
bring the numbers of these animals into a more desirable level
the USFWS is proposing to allow
properly licensed and permitted
hunters to kill some of these feral
hogs and whitetail deer.
Hunting, within specified limits, is permitted on more than 300
national wildlife refuges. Fishing
is permitted on more than 270
national wildlife refuges. Other
wildlife-dependent recreation on
national wildlife refuges includes
wildlife photography, environmental education, wildlife observation
and interpretation. Notice of the
proposal was published in the Federal Register on July 5, 2011; the
public has until August 4, 2011, to
provide comments. To comment
on the proposed hunting rule
changes, please visit http://frwebgate1.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/PDFgate.cgi?WAISdocID=o3Y9mC/1
/2/0&WAISaction=retrieve.
The mission of the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service is working
with others to conserve, protect
and enhance fish, wildlife, plants
and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American
people.
Tucked away on the Outer
Banks in the far northeastern
corner of North Carolina the
Currituck NWR consists of six
seperate units all located between
Corolla, N.C., and the North Carolina/Virgina stateline. To access
the refuge, follow NC Route 12
north until it ends in Corolla. At
this point all traffic is diverted

to the beach (four-wheel drive is
required). The first refuge tract
is located about 3/4-mile north of
this point. Currituck NWR is managed by the staff at Mackay Island
NWR, therefore, no building or
other facilities exist on the refuge.
Mammals inhabiting the refuge
include white-tailed deer, raccoons, muskrats, minks, fox and
opossum. Feral hogs, feral horses
and nutria (a large, non-native
aquatic rodent) make the refuge
their home. Several crab species
can be seen along the shorelines
of the beach and sound. Some of
the rare and endangered species
found on the refuge include the
peregrine falcon, bald eagle, piping plover, loggerhead sea turtle
and seabeach amaranth. Fortunately, as of this time, there are
no red wolves to be found on the
Currituck NWR.
Hunting waterfowl has been allowed on the Currituck NWR for
years and the permitting of these
hunts is administered by the
North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission. If the proposed
deer and hog hunting should be
approved these hunts would be
administered by the staff at the
Mackay National Wildlife Refuge
instead of the NCWRC.
Last week the N.C. Wildlife resources Commission published a
very excellent booklet listing the
Permit Hunting Opportunities in
North Carolina. On page 26 of
this booklet the waterfowl hunting
rules on the Currituck NWR are
listed. The booklet list directions
on how to apply for these waterfowl hunts only. If the deer and
hog hunts are approved in time
for this upcoming hunting season
then the hunt application procedures be through the USFWS a
the Mackay NWR.
The waterfowl hunting on Currituck Sound and the surrounding
land is world-famous. The duck
and goose hunting gained world
fame in the 1800s as waterfowl
hunters from “Up-north” flocked
to the lavish hunting clubs that
had become established along the
coast of North Carolina. This hunting heritage has been preserved
to this day and is well illustrated
by the Outer Banks Center for
Wildlife Education. The center
is located in Currituck Heritage
Park on Highway 12 in Corolla,
next to Currituck Beach.
The Outer Banks Center for
Wildlife Education is currently
showing the waterfowl decoy collection of Krogie Andresen, noted
Carolina decoy collector and author of the book “Gunnin’ Birds.”
Me. Andresen has provided on
permanent loan to the Outer
Banks Center for Wildlife Education an exhibit of swan and goose
decoys, hunting equipment, head
patterns and tools that belonged
to James R. Best (1866-1933) of
Kitty Hawk.
James B. Best is thought by
many to be the most talented
decoy carver from North Carolina
and his work is sought after by collectors from all over the country.
“Most decoy enthusiasts now easily recognize the outstanding work
of James Best,” said Andresen.
“They readily acknowledge that
he is probably the most skilled
of the North Carolina decoy carvers.”
The decoys are now on display
in the gallery in the Outer Banks
Center for Wildlife Education. The
entire collection of James Best decoys, tools and carving equipment
are planned for a special exhibit
this fall.

Dupree makes waves at Montreal World Challenge
By Kelly Griffith
E
Tucker Dupree has been around
the world and back. But just a year
away from the London games, the
Paralympian is working hard to
make the trip across the pond.
The 22-year-old Garner Magnet
High School graduate will attend
the Para Pan Pacific Championship in August, swimming the 50
m backstroke, 50 m freestyle, 100
m backstroke and 100 m butterfly.
Dupree, who moved in the U.S.
Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs in August 2010, has
two weeks of training camp at the
end of the month before flying to
Edmonton, Canada.
“It’s going to be a pretty big
meet,” he said.
Just five years after he was diagnosed Leber’s Hereditary Optic
Neuropathy, a rare disease that
caused him to lose between 60
and 80 percent of his sight in both
eyes, Dupree holds 35 American

World Challenge this month.
Records and 7 Pan-American records.
Dupree gave spectators just a
taste of what he can do during the
Montreal World Challenge earlier
this month. The invitation-only
meet pitted Dupree against seven
other blind swimmers in the 100
m butterfly.
He took first place in the event,
shaving four seconds off his best
time. He swam in four other
events as well – 100 m freestyle,
100 m backstroke, 50 m butterfly
and 50 m freestyle. He set a new
Pan-American Record, an American Record and a lifetime best in
the 50 m butterfly.
“I swam like a rock star,” he
said.
Doing so well with not much
rest, Dupree is hopeful he will
improve even more during for the
upcoming meet in August.
This has been Dupree’s most
traveled year; he also swam in the
Canadian American Championship
in April. During the meet, he was
still recovering from a shoulder
injury.
Since moving to Colorado, his
swim workouts increased from one
to three times a day plus weight
training. The stress on his body
caused problems, but he said he
received rehab in at the training
center and has improved significantly.
The April meet had another set
of challenges. During the trials,
Dupree got sick and had to withdraw. However, his initial times
were so fast that he made the national team for the Para Pan Pac
Championship meet anyway.
“It’s like any other sport,” he
said. “You have to push through.”
“I swam like
a rock star”
— Tucker Dupree, on
breaking two records
during the 50 m butterfly
at the Montreal World
Challenge at the beginning of this month.
Since his time on a team in
North Carolina, Dupree has shined
even brighter. Where he was placing fifth, sixth or seventh two years
ago, he moved into the top three
after relocating to Colorado.
“Improving last year has helped
a lot this year,” he said.
Moving into the training center
has been one of the best decisions
of his career, he said. It offers
him the ability to live and breathe
swimming unlike ever before.
Thankful for support from family and friends, who sent her letters, flowers and gifts
from front
performed during the finale of the pageant as
well.
Leah took part in the
Carolina Princess pageant
during the week with several of her friends.
Support for
Garner’s girl
If it weren’t for the support of her family, Brown
wouldn’t have made it. Her
father, Robert, escorted
her in during one of the
ceremonies. She also had
a lot of support from family and friends throughout
the week, sending her letters, flowers and gifts.
“From the very beginning, they were really supportive,” Brown said.
Brown said she is thankful for the support of the
Garner community and
her committee as well.
“It’s always been a
dream to compete in the
Miss North Carolina pageant and I can’t imagine
doing it any other way
than as Miss Garner,”
Brown said. “I feel so
blessed.”
Garner represents
Miss Garner’s Outstanding Teen Lauren Hitchings was in Raleigh for the
week as well, taking part
in the OT pageant. While
Brown didn’t get much
time to see Hitchings, she
said it was nice to be there
with such a good friend.
Former Misses Garner took part in the Miss
North Carolina pageant
as well. Miss Garner
2010 Brianna Tracy participated as Miss Greater
Carolina 2011. Miss Garner 2009 Chelsea Ingram
is now Miss Greater Cape
Fear 2011.
Former Miss Garner
contestants Katie Mills,
Miss Fayetteville 2011,
and Johna Edmonds, Miss
Tarheel 2011, also participated in the state pageant.
Mills took the top place in
fitness for the week and
placed third runner up.
