State troopers say an
83-year-old man suffered
serious injuries when his
SUV collided with a car
Tuesday afternoon in Wilson County.
Residents say
notice lacking
for loose dogs
Willie Langston Jr. of
Grifton was driving a 2006
Chevrolet Trailblazer on
U.S. 301 South and attempted to turn left onto
U.S. 264 when a car traveling north on 301 struck
the SUV in the side, according to Trooper D.R.
Riggins of the N.C. Highway Patrol.
Langston and his son
Kenneth Langston, who

RETURNING HOME
By Brie Handgraaf
Times Staff Writer
A group of residents from the Cavalier neighborhood attended the Wilson
County Board of Commissioners’ Monday night meeting to express concerns
that they were not notified about two
dogs running loose last month.
“We’re concerned about the lack of
communication from the sheriff’s department about animal control issues,”
said resident Stacey Coyte.
Coyte and resident Walston Peters
spoke to the officials about reports of
two dogs attacking about 20 cats in
their area. Animal enforcement officers
got the dogs, but several cats were
killed beforehand.
“We found out animal control was
aware the dogs were loose and were
tracking them, but neighbors didn’t
know,” Coyte said. “Our safety was
compromised in that time.”
She said a call to residents about the
potential threat would have been a proactive approach to the issue.
“We’d like to receive a phone call
from the county on any animal control
issues similar to calls from the city
about break-ins, flooded streets and
such,” she said.
Commissioners expressed their support of the concerned residents and
asked county staff to follow up on the
issue. The Wilson County Sheriff’s
Office did not respond to questions in
time for this story.
“The sheriff’s department takes
citizen safety and animal care and
enforcement seriously,” said Assistant
County Manager Ron Hunt.
SHELL BUILDING FUNDED
During the meeting, no one from the
public spoke up on a request from Wilson Economic Development Council
Executive Director Jennifer Lantz for
$576,923.08. The funds from the Economic Development Revolving Loan
Fund are to assist with the construction
of an industrial shell building at the
Wilson Corporate Park.
The loan, which was approved without further discussion, is the second
for the county with a prior loan of
$500,000 approved as well as a city
loan of $1,250,000 going toward the
project.
Lantz said the land has been cleared,
the pad has been prepared and construction on the footings will begin in

Mills looks ahead to bright future at Wilson County Schools
By Kelsey Padgett
Times Staff Writer
Almost two weeks into his
new role, Wilson County
Schools Superintendent Lane
Mills says his transition has
been easier than expected
because he has felt as if he is
returning home.
“It’s nice to be back and see
everybody,” said Mills. “I’m
getting settled. There’s lots of
familiar faces and some new
faces, so I’m trying to keep
my bearings in doing that.
“The thing, when coming
from the outside back in, is
learning the faces and having the chances to build those
relationships and re-engage
those relationships you had
before. It’s a neat transition.”
Mills worked as Wilson
County’s assistant superintendent for accountability and
technology for 10 years, after
being hired in August 1997.
He lived in Wilson with his
wife Melissa for 14 years,
and both of his daughters,
15-year-old Grayson and
11-year-old Emerson, were
born here.
After leaving WCS, Mills
took an associate professor
position at East Carolina
University. He said while he
enjoyed working with graduate students and helping with
principal preparation, he
knew something was missing.
“I really missed the
schools,” said Mills. “I missed
the principals and the teachers. There’s a family atmosphere that you don’t get a lot
of places and the university
was great, but I missed that.”
In 2012, Mills was hired as
superintendent for Craven
County Schools, where he
said he helped to grow the
family atmosphere that he
loved.
“It’s really important to me
that schools are families, so
I focused on that a lot,” said
Mills. “I had the chance to
develop a lot of principals and
assistant principals and build
relationships with teachers.”

‘They’re just empty buildings right now,
but when teachers get in there and the students get back in there,
there’s a magic that happens that just doesn’t take place anywhere else.’

Mills: ‘Important to me
that schools are families’
continued from page 1A
So, when he discovered
the superintendent position was open in Wilson
County, he said he knew
he wanted to apply and
return to the area he had
made his home.
“For us, this is home,”
said Mills. “Having the
chance to come back here
where I had such great
memories and had such
great experiences and
knew some of the people
who were still here was really a plus for us.”
Mills said WCS is facing,
and will continue to face, a
lot of the same challenges
that other school systems
in the state are facing.
“A while back, we had
what I call the perfect
storm coming at us,” said
Mills. “We had new accountability standards,
new tests, new curriculum
all at once, and so we’ve
weathered that.”
These changes are met
with recent legislative reform and the typical financial restraints that come
with being a public school
system. But Mills said
despite these changes, he
has not lost sight of what
he says is truly important
— the students.
Now Enrolling
for 2016/2017 School Year
“We’ve got to continue
focusing on our students
and building relationships
every day and building
the partnerships with our
families in the community,” said Mills. “It’s always
about our students.”
Mills said another key
component of a successful
school system is recruiting
and retaining the best faculty and staff.
“We want the best folks
for our students and we’re
going to keep the best so...
it’s a challenging environment for school systems
for that right now,” said
Mills.
Mills, who oversaw an
estimated 14,100 students
in 25 schools in Craven
County, now serves nearly
12,000 student in 23
schools. He said the counties are very similar in size
and demographics, and
believes the transition will
be seamless.
“I’ve been trying to meet
with as many people as
possible to have conversations about where we are,
where things are going,
what seems to be working
and what things we want
to talk more about,” said
Mills.
“Those relationships really are the key.”
With continued growth,
Mills said he wants to see
Wilson County Schools
become the best school
system in the state.
“I want us to be the
model for others to look at
for solutions,” said Mills.
“I want our students to be
the ones setting the standards. I want our teachers
to be the ones everybody
wants to come and see
what they’re doing in their
classrooms.”
But right now, Mills is
looking forward to what
he calls “the best time of
the year.” He said the first
day of school and seeing
the schools filled is what
really energizes him.
“They’re just empty
buildings right now, but
when teachers get in there
and the students get back
in there, there’s a magic
that happens that just
doesn’t take place anywhere else,” said Mills.
Mills took his oath
of office on July 1. He
signed a four-year contract with Wilson County
with a starting salary of
$205,000.
The first Board of Education meeting with Mills
in his new seat is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. July 18.

Crash: Troopers investigating
Greenville.
Nineteen-year-old Kevin
Powell of Wilson was driving the car, a 1991 Honda
Accord. Riggins said he
was taken to Wilson Medical Center after the wreck.
Willie Langston was
in stable condition in Vidant’s intensive care unit
Tuesday evening, Riggins
said.
Troopers are still investigating the crash and say it
wasn’t immediately clear
which driver had the right
of way at the U.S. 301/U.S.
264 intersection southwest
of Wilson.
“Right now, there’s no
witnesses to determine
contributing circumstances,” Riggins said, adding
that he plans to speak to
Willie Langston as his condition improves.
The trooper said neither
driver was impaired, but
speed may have been a
factor in the crash. Determining the vehicles’ exact
speed may be difficult due
to the lack of skid marks
in the road, he added.
Kevin Raper, a driver for
Aggressive Towing & Recovery and a Crossroads
volunteer firefighter, was
passing the intersection in
his tow truck. He saw the
aftermath of the violent
collision, called 911 and
stopped to offer help.
“I didn’t see the actual
impact, but I knew it was a
hard hit,” he said.
Black Creek volunteer
firefighters and Wilson
Rescue Squad emergency
medical technicians quickly arrived to free Willie
and Kenneth Langston
from the SUV, which came
to rest on the U.S. 264 onramp.
Raper said it’s his duty
as a firefighter to render
aid whenever he encounters a wreck, fire or other
emergency.
“I get out and make
sure everybody’s OK and
make sure the vehicles are
stable and nothing’s going
to catch on fire,” he said.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Wednesday, July 13, the
195th day of 2016. There are 171
days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On July 13, 1793, French revolutionary writer Jean-Paul Marat
was stabbed to death in his bath
by Charlotte Corday, who was
executed four days later.
On this date:
In 1787, the Congress of the
Confederation adopted the Northwest Ordinance, which established
a government in the Northwest
Territory, an area corresponding
to the eastern half of the presentday Midwest.
In 1863, deadly rioting against
the Civil War military draft
erupted in New York City. (The
insurrection was put down three
days later.)
In 1939, Frank Sinatra made his
first commercial recording, “From
the Bottom of My Heart” and
“Melancholy Mood,” with Harry
James and his Orchestra for the
Brunswick label.
In 1955, Britain hanged Ruth
Ellis, a 28-year-old former model
and nightclub hostess convicted of
killing her boyfriend, David Blakely
(to date, Ellis is the last woman
to be executed in the United Kingdom).
In 1960, John F. Kennedy won
the Democratic presidential nomination on the first ballot at his
party's convention in Los Angeles.
In 1965, President Lyndon B.
Johnson nominated Thurgood
Marshall to be U.S. Solicitor
General; Marshall became the
first black jurist appointed to the
post. (Two years later, Johnson
nominated Marshall to the U.S.
Supreme Court.)
In 1977, a blackout lasting 25
hours hit the New York City area.
In 1985, “Live Aid,” an international rock concert in London,
Philadelphia, Moscow and Sydney,
took place to raise money for Africa's starving people.
In 1990, the romantic fantasy
“Ghost,” starring Patrick Swayze
and Demi Moore, was released by
Paramount Pictures.
In 1999, Angel Maturino Resendiz, suspected of being the
“Railroad Killer,” surrendered in
El Paso, Texas. (Resendiz was executed in 2006.)
Five years ago: California became the first state in the nation
to add lessons about gays and
lesbians to social studies classes
in public schools under a measure
signed by Gov. Jerry Brown. Three
coordinated bombings in India's
busy financial capital killed 26
people in the worst terror attack
in the country since the 2008
Mumbai siege. The United States
earned its first trip to the Women's World Cup final since winning
it in 1999 with a 3-1 victory over
France. (Japan, which went on to
win the Cup, upset Sweden 3-1
in the other semifinal.) The initial
version of Snapchat, a mobile
messaging app that lets people
send photos, videos and messages
that disappear in a few seconds,
debuted under the name Picaboo
in Apple's iOS App Store.
One year ago: Calling America
“a nation of second chances,”
President Barack Obama cut the
prison sentences of 46 non-violent
drug offenders. Sandra Bland, a
28-year-old woman from suburban
Chicago, was found hanged in a
Waller County, Texas, jail cell three
days after being arrested during a
traffic stop; her death was ruled a
suicide, a finding disputed by her
family. New York City reached a
$5.9 million settlement with the
family of Eric Garner, a black man
who died after being placed in a
white police officer's chokehold.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker
declared his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination.

GUEST EDITORIAL
Reform mandatory
minimums to heal
our racial division
L
ast week’s cascade
of horrible news has
left us feeling overwhelmed and emotionally drained.
President Barack Obama,
House Speaker Paul Ryan
and other national leaders
looked visibly shaken last
week by the footage from the
cases of two black men killed
by police and by the ambushstyle slayings of five Dallas
police officers.
Much of the discussion
since has centered on rebuilding goodwill between
blacks and whites, and on offering thoughts and prayers
for the victims’ families. That
is good, and necessary. But
no solution to our current
tensions will be complete
without policy reforms in the
justice system.
That is where we most
need to see political leadership, but backlash from the
Dallas shootings is putting a
bill that is the centerpiece of
national criminal justice reform efforts at further risk.
The Sentencing Reform
and Corrections Act would
pare mandatory minimum
sentences that have landed
disproportionately on minority drug offenders since the
1990s. It also invests in new
recidivism programs and
gives judges added discretion
in sentencing.
The bill represents one
of the best opportunities in
decades to address some
of the deepest frustrations
minorities have voiced concerning the criminal justice
system — namely, the belief
that racially biased courts
and prison systems enforce
a “new Jim Crow” order that
removes millions of black
people from the mainstream
of American life.
It has drawn bipartisan
support in the Senate, not
to mention backing from
conservative kingmakers
Charles and David Koch, as
well as the American Civil
Liberties Union. Despite all
of that, the legislation has
stalled in the Senate. Conservatives want to reform
criminal intent standards — a
move progressives see as
protecting white-collar criminals. Prospects in the House
look uncertain as well.
After the Dallas shootings,
the conservative activist
group Americans for Limited Government declared:
“It’s time for GOP leaders
to finally just say no to the
‘empty the prisons’ agenda of
Black Lives Matter and other
agents of blue hate.”
That would be shortsighted. One possible way to take
such divisive narratives off
the table politically? Include
stiffer penalties in the legislation for anyone who targets
law enforcement officers.
(Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C.,
expressed support last week
for the Thin Blue Line Act,
which calls for such enhanced punishments).
Bipartisan criminal justice
reform would begin correcting America’s unsustainably
high incarceration rates, but
it would also demonstrate
unity at a time when the nation desperately needs leadership on that front.
Time is running short to
get reform passed this year,
but it remains possible. Congress can’t change hearts
and minds, but it can change
some of the laws that have
helped fuel protests nationwide.

Life was sweeter with
open doors, friendly
neighbors
A
s a child coming up in the
small town
of Stantonsburg, I miss the mothers
standing in their yards
talking to each other
at the clothesline on
Monday mornings and
kids running around in
the yard barefoot, some
playing under the houses if the porches were
high enough. Someone
always had a path in
their yard that led to the
store or to a neighbor’s
house. People left their
doors unlocked, and
their cars, if they owned
one. Don’t forget, the
windows were opened
for the nice cool breeze.
Lord, will those days come
back? I don’t think so. The kids
stays shut up inside all day,
they don’t know if our heavenly
father’s sun is shinning or his
precious dew drops of rain are
falling.
I say all of that to say this:.I
never thought that I would see
the time in this world that I see
now. It hurts to know that honest people are getting robbed,
shot and their homes broken
into. No one knows what good
morning is anymore. Most of us
don’t even know our neighbors.
Back in the day, there weren’t
too many people who had
phones, so if they didn’t see
their neighbors out by a certain time, they would check
on them. Now that they have
phones, they don’t check on
their neighbors.
God is not pleased at all the
way our elders are been treated.We didn’t have but a very
few street lights and walked the
streets at night. Now lights are
everywhere and it’s too dangerous to step out your front
door.
People, until this earth is
cleaned up, treat people the
way that you want to be treated.
Help the needy — our day is
coming, and it will bring back
memories of how you treated
your fellow man. Go to church
and hear the word from God.
Pray and ask God to help you,
ask Him what would He have
you to do. There is still work in
the Vineyard. The devil is out
here and he comes to steal, kill
and destroy. Remember that we
cannot live in this world alone.
But we can live peacefully with
the power of prayer.
Learn God for yourself and
you will know what He can and
will do. Be blessed.

Raleigh needs a ‘human library’
RALEIGH
— The Human
Library is an intriguing idea that
allows “borrowers” to “check
out” “books” that
are really other
people.
Patrick
“Books” are
Gannon
loaned for a
short time —30 minutes, perhaps — and the borrower gets
to sit down with that person
and learn as much about him
or her as possible. The “book”
could be someone living with
HIV, a Muslim, a single mother
or a veteran with PTSD, for example. Of course, the possible
book titles are endless.
The Human Library started in
2000 in Copenhagen, Denmark,
and has since been modeled in
about 70 countries, including
the United States. According to
its website, HumanLibrary.org,
the Human Library is “designed
to build a positive framework
for conversations that can challenge stereotypes and prejudices through dialogue.”
It’s “a place where difficult
questions are expected, appreciated and answered.”
As I read about the concept
recently, I couldn’t help but
wonder how great it would be
to have a Human Library at the
N.C. General Assembly. As of-
ten as controversial and complicated topics are debated, I wish
we could have real people on
hand for legislators to “check
out” to learn in great detail how
pieces of legislation might affect them.
Yes, that happens in some
fashion through emails and
lobbyists and at times at public
hearings. But often those conversations are constrained with
time limits.
A Human Library might help
lawmakers gain a respectful
understanding of what those
affected by the legislation they
consider are experiencing, allowing them to put themselves
in others’ shoes. And it might
change their minds from time
to time.
With that all said, here are a
few of the “books” that might be
in high demand in the General
Assembly’s Human Library:
A transgender individual.
With all of the controversy
around House Bill 2, it would
be great for all members of the
General Assembly to sit down
with someone who has changed
or is transitioning to a different
gender.
A parent of an Opportunity
Scholarship recipient. In the
state budget, lawmakers are
greatly expanding funding for
school vouchers, also called
“Opportunity Scholarships,”
which give lower-income families cash to send their children
to private or religious schools.
Opponents say the program
takes needed money away from
public schools, but supporters
say it gives kids from poorer
families a chance to get ahead.
A parent could help make that
case to legislators.
A young, black male. With all
of the controversy surrounding
police shootings, this is one of
the voices that must be taken
seriously in future discussions.
What’s it like to be a young,
black male in a tough neighborhood? Why are police not
always trusted?
A low-income person addicted to the lottery. Yes, this
one’s kind of random, but studies have shown poorer people
in poorer places tend to play
the lottery more. In as many lottery meetings as I’ve attended,
I haven’t met this person, but I
know he’s out there.
I could go on and on, but unfortunately, a “Human Library”
probably isn’t coming to the
General Assembly. Nevertheless, our legislators must take
time to listen to all people affected by legislation before
making up their minds.

Flavor pork chops with a buttermilk coating
By Sara Molton
The Associated Press
Summertime and the living is easy. Dinners can be
casual, thrown together at
the last minute. But when
the kids start heading
back to school, it's time to
switch gears; dinner usually needs to be planned
and punctual.
This recipe fits nicely
into that back-to-school
tempo. It requires five
minutes in the morning
whipping up a buttermilk
marinade for the chops
and 10 minutes to cook in
the evening.
The chops in question
are crosscut slices of pork
loin, also known as boneless pork chops. I recommend the really thin ones,
no more than half-an-inch
thick, which helps the
marinade work its deep
magic. This cut of meat is
very lean. That's good because the chops are low in
saturated fat; that's bad because the lack of fat translates into a lack of moisture
and a lack of flavor. But
not to worry — this recipe's
buttermilk marinade picks
up the slack.
I was inspired by our
friends below the MasonDixon line, who like to
soak their chicken in buttermilk before frying it.
Then I added salt, which
helps protein retain liquid
while deeply flavoring it.
Finally, I threw in smashed
garlic cloves and some
chipotle hot sauce. The hot
sauce provides a tiny bit of
the advertised heat along
with some lip-smacking
smokiness. (If your family
is anti-spicy, leave it out.)
The chops are coated in
a mixture of panko bread-
These pork chops are coated in a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, which provide crunch, and seasoned breadcrumbs, which glue all of the breadcrumbs together. AP
crumbs, which provide
crunch, and seasoned
breadcrumbs, which
glue all the breadcrumbs
together. Top with some
chopped parsley and serve
with a wedge of lemon.
It's important to cook
the chops until they're just
pink, otherwise, they'll be
tough.
Crispy Buttermilk
Soaked Pork Chops
Start to finish: 8 hours, 15
minutes (15 minutes active)
Servings: 4 to 6
11⁄2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons chipotle hot
sauce (optional)
3
⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, smashed
well
11⁄2 pounds thin (about
1 1
⁄3- ⁄2-inch thick) boneless
pork chops
3
⁄4 cup panko bread
crumbs
3
⁄4 cup seasoned dry bread
crumbs
5 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1
⁄3 cup finely chopped
parsley
4-6 lemon wedges
In a pie plate or re-sealable
plastic bag, combine the
buttermilk, hot sauce,
salt and garlic, whisking
the mixture in the bowl
or shaking the mixture in
the bag until the salt is
dissolved. Add the chops,
making sure they are submerged in the liquid, and
marinate them, covered or
sealed, in the refrigerator
for at least 2 hours and up
to 8 hours.
On a sheet of parchment
combine the panko and the
dry bread crumbs. Working with one chop at a
time, lift it out of the marinade letting the excess
marinade drip off; coat the
chop well with the bread
crumbs.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 11⁄2 tablespoons
of the oil over high heat
until it is hot. Reduce the
heat to medium and add
half the chops. Cook for
11⁄2 minutes, add another
tablespoon of the oil and
turn the chops over, cooking them on the second side
for another 11⁄2 minutes or
until they are barely pink
inside. Transfer the chops
to a plate; cover with foil to
keep them warm. Repeat
the procedure with the remaining oil and chops.
Top each portion with some
chopped parsley; serve
with a wedge of lemon.
Senate backs bill to label genetically modified food
WASHINGTON — Food
packages nationwide
would for the first time be
required to carry labels
listing genetically modified
ingredients under legislation the Senate backed
Thursday.
The vote was 63-30 for
the bipartisan measure,
which would compel foods
that include genetically
modified organisms, or
GMOs, to carry a text label,
a symbol or an electronic
code readable by smartphone. Advocates for labeling and the food industry,
which has fought mandatory labeling, have wanted
to find a national solution
to avoid a state-by-state
patchwork of laws.
The food industry supports the Senate bill, but
many labeling proponents
do not. Critics say the
labels should be easily
readable by consumers
without smartphones, and
have complained that the
measure lacks penalties
for companies that don't
comply.
“It is time for us to
provide certainty in the
marketplace,” said Sen.
Pat Roberts, R-Kan., chairman of the Agriculture
Committee, who brokered
the compromise bill with
the panel's top Democrat,
Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow.
The measure now heads
to the House, where its fate
is less certain. That chamber has voted to make labeling voluntary.
Senate approval came
over the strong objections
of Vermont's senators —
presidential contender
Bernie Sanders, an independent, and Democrat
Patrick Leahy. They argued
that the measure falls
short, especially compared
to tougher labeling requirements in their state that
kicked in last Friday.
They said the federal
government shouldn't run
roughshod over a state's
rules, pre-empting Vermont's law, and the federal
requirements would not be
consumer-friendly. Sanders called Vermont's law
“a triumph for consumers”
that was shaping up as a
hollow victory, with the
Senate bill trumping his
state's law.
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C.,
said a federal statute would
save consumers money
and avoid imposing Vermont's law on other states,
or a grab bag of state laws.
“What about California?
What about my state of
North Carolina, all the
other ones?” Tillis asked.
Genetically modified
foods are plants or animals
that have had genes copied from other plants or
animals inserted into their
DNA. While farmers have
been selectively breeding
plants for centuries, this
manipulation is done in a
lab, speeding up the process by transferring a gene
from one plant or animal to
another. The engineering
is done to create certain
traits, like resistance to
herbicides.
Summer fun with the kids doesn’t have to break the bank
Summer
may be a
time to relax, but tell
that to kids
who are
bouncing
off the walls
or shrieking
Chelsey
“I’m bored”
Edens
every five
minutes.
How can parents keep kids
entertained, active and
out of trouble for an entire
summer? The trick is to
plan ahead.
Brainstorm ideas for
things to do now, so you
don’t wind up spending the
entire summer watching
cartoons. Don’t be fooled,
the most expensive activities aren’t always the best.
Sure, you can spend $20
on a trip to the arcade, but
it only gets you a couple
of hours of entertainment,
and not much to show for
it. That’s why it’s best to
look for activities that are
both cheap and fun for
your kids and the added
bonus is if they give you a
few moments to yourself.
So start creating your summer bucket list today. If you
need inspiration, here are a
few idea to get you started.
Try going to the library.
Most libraries offer free
summer reading programs
that encourage kids of all
ages to read, and they often
host other activities like,
parties, music and puppet
shows. Check out libraries
in neighboring towns too;
they might offer something
your regular branch does
not.
You could also seek out
art and culture. Some museums and cultural institutions, like botanical gardens, children’s museums,
zoos, aquariums and observatories, are always free.
Those we love! But even
the ones that charge admission often offer free or
reduced-rate days or hours
weekly or monthly. Grab a
calendar and map out those
times so you’ll know instantly on a rainy Tuesday
where to find refuge. While
you’re at it, check their
calendars for special summer activities; many offer
classes, concerts and tours
just for kids.
If the library or museum
isn’t your thing, you could
try volunteering to help.
While the kids are in the
volunteering mood, look
for places in your community that could use their
help. Whether it’s cleaning
up a local park, walking
dogs at an animal shelter
or visiting residents at a
nursing home, summer is
a great time to introduce
children to the joys of giving back.
Maybe after a day of giving back, you could catch
a movie. During the dog
days of summer, sometimes
you just need to escape to
somewhere, anywhere,
with great air-conditioning.
Luckily, many movie theaters offer great summer-
time savings. If going to the
theater is just more than
you’re willing to spend,
make your own theater at
home. Rent a movie, pop
popcorn and break out the
candy right there on your
own couch. This is another
great rainy-day activity.
For many parents, summer poses the inevitable
question: Now that the kids
are home all day, what am
I going to do with them?
Summer camps get expensive, as do visits to water
parks, theme parks and
other attractions. Grandparents love to see the kids
arrive, but after long, they
wonder just what to do with
them. The good news is the
answer doesn’t have to be
too complicated. There are
some very simple activities
for kids to do in the summer that won’t break the
bank. So start getting that
bucket list ready, because
summer vacation is right
around the corner.

Begin sex education before kids experiment
Dear
Abby: I
know you
provide
a booklet
to help
teens with
questions
Dear Abby about sex.
But when
should I talk to my son or
give him a copy? He will
turn 9 soon. I know that
is young, but kids today
are exposed to so much so
early. — Kristen In Maryland
Dear Kristen: You’re
absolutely right; they are.
They also mature earlier
than children of previous
generations. That’s why it
is so important for parents
— and guardians — to
begin discussing subjects
like alcohol, drugs, sex
and family values well
before their children start
experimenting. So talk to
your son now. Do not be
shocked if he tells you he
has already heard it all
from contemporaries. If
he has, ask him to tell you
what he knows, because
what he heard may be
inaccurate, and it will give
you a chance to correct
any misinformation.
My booklet “What Every
Teen Should Know” can
help to start the conversation. It has been distributed in doctors’ offices
and by educators and religious leaders, as well as
parents like you who may
find it uncomfortable to
discuss these topics with
their children. It can be
ordered by sending your
name and address, plus
check or money order for
$7 (U.S. funds), to Dear
Abby Teen Booklet, P.O.
Box 447, Mount Morris,
IL 61054-0447. Shipping
and handling are included
in the price. Before giving
your son the booklet, first
read it yourself. The more
information you can provide, the better prepared
your son will be to make
informed choices in the
future.
Dear Abby: I have observed (and experienced)
that people won’t tell
you about a husband’s
or wife’s infidelity while
you and your spouse are
together. However, they
WILL reveal it after the
divorce or death. What
purpose does that serve?
If people don’t want to
get involved, then allow
me to make a suggestion: Send an unsigned
letter in the mail with no
return address. There
are also phone features
that let a person place an
anonymous call. Call the
workplace of the cheatedon spouse if you don’t
have his or her cellphone
number. However you
can, give the person as
much information as you
know. If you do, maybe
a marriage can be saved,
or a spouse won’t have to
deal with an STD. Do you
have an opinion, Abby? —
Strictly Anonymous
Dear Strictly Anonymous: People who feel
compelled to tell others
something “for their own
good” should closely
examine their motives
before doing it. Unsigned
letters with no return address are usually sent by
cranks trying to target
someone they want to
hurt, or to destroy a marriage. If someone takes
it upon him- or herself
to notify a spouse about
a mate’s cheating, that
person should be honest
enough to state who he/
she is. If people can’t do
that, they should mind
their own business.
While some wives — or
husbands — may be ignorant about their spouse’s
infidelity, the truth is that
many already do know
something is wrong, but
are not yet ready to deal
with it.

Advice for those affected by allergy season
Dear
Doctor
K: The
weather’s
warming
up. For me,
that means
one thing:
allergies.
Dr. K
Can you
give me
some specific advice to
help keep my allergies under control?
Dear Reader: Inhaled
pollen, from trees, grass
and weeds, is responsible
for hay fever. These allergens get into the air — and
into our noses, eyes and
lungs —causing the symptoms that allergy sufferers
dread.
It takes only a minuscule
amount of pollen to trigger an allergic reaction.
And pollen is everywhere
during allergy season,
impossible to avoid completely. As a result, many
people find that medication is necessary. But taking steps to reduce your
pollen exposure can also
help to lessen the severity and frequency of your
symptoms.
Many people check pollen counts on weather
apps or websites so they
know what to expect on
a given day. These can
be of some help. But pollen counts can fluctuate
depending on things like
the weather or time of day.
For example, they’re usually lower on cooler, rainy
days. And they’re usually
higher in the morning,
particularly on warm
days.
Trees and plants are
very consistent in the
levels of allergens they
release into the air. In the
Northeast, where I live,
the pollen season starts
in February or March and
ends in October. In Southern states it starts earlier
and ends later. In Northern climates, trees kick off
the season, followed by
grasses and finally weeds.
Here are some ways to
minimize your pollen exposure:
• Stay indoors when the
pollen count is high, especially on dry, windy days.
• Stay indoors between
5 a.m. and 10 a.m., when
airborne pollen counts are
likely to be at their highest.
•Keep home windows
closed during allergy seasons, and turn on the air
conditioner.
• Keep car windows
closed when driving.
— Don’t cut your own
grass; have someone else
do it.
• Don’t hang clothing
and bedding out to dry.
• Wash your hair before
bedtime, after a day spent
outdoors.
Except for very minor
allergies, it’s a good idea to
treat your allergies and not
just suffer through them.
Apart from helping you
feel better, timely treatment
will lessen the likelihood of
complications like sinus infections and blocked ears.
If you also have asthma,
you may find that your
asthma will improve if you
treat your hay fever.
If you do take allergy
medicines (antihistamines,
nasal steroids and so
forth), start taking them
several weeks before you
anticipate your allergy
season will start. Clinical
trials have demonstrated
that this strategy is more
effective than starting the
medicines after you have
already developed symptoms.
The best medicines for
moderate to severe nasal
allergy symptoms are
nasal sprays of medicines
called glucocorticoids.
Antihistamine pills are
also effective. The older
“first-generation” pills are
more likely to cause side
effects than the newer
pills. Some antihistamines
come as nasal sprays and
are also effective. Finally,
a nasal spray of a medicine called cromolyn also
is effective.
Summer should be
about beauty and warmth
— not nasal allergies.
Some combination of
these approaches should
help you.

Should butter be banished from a healthy diet?
We often
hear from
people
that they
get mental
whiplash
from the
frequent
reversals
People’s
Pharmacy in health
advice
they see in the news. This
is especially true when it
comes to nutrition: first
eggs were evil, and then
they were touted as a
good source of protein
and choline.
The latest nutritional
flip-flop is about butter.
People who grew up in
the 1950s and 1960s were
told that margarine was
much better than butter.
It was later determined
that the trans fats in margarine were terrible for
health, increasing the risk
of heart disease rather
than preventing it.
Where does that leave
butter? A new metaanalysis suggests we
shouldn’t worry about
butter (PLOS One, June
29, 2016). It certainly isn’t
health food, but neither
should it be demonized.
The nine studies the
investigators analyzed
included 636,151 participants and 6.5 million
person-years of data.
The analysis revealed
“relatively small or neutral overall associations
of butter with mortality,
CVD [cardiovascular disease, i.e., heart attacks
and heart failure], and diabetes.” The researchers
suggest that policymakers shouldn’t waste a lot
of time trying to change
the amount of butter
people eat.
Some readers have
done their own nutritional experiments. Skipper
writes: “I took an anticholesterol medication
for years without any
change in my total cholesterol (220-230). I was
using skim milk, margarine and other dietary restrictions to try to reduce
my weight to 175 pounds.
“I finally gave up the
medication on my own.
The next test, my total
cholesterol still was at
220.
“I gave up the skim
milk and went to whole
milk, and began to en-
joy real butter. In three
weeks, I dropped 5
pounds.
“I now eat a primarily
plant-based diet, with
seafood at least once
a week and perhaps
chicken or other fowl no
more than once or twice
a month. I eat mixed nuts
as a snack (a small handful) daily. My new doctor
says my high HDL means
I don’t need to struggle to
get the total down.
“In the past year and
a half, I have had more
energy and have stabilized my weight to 155 to
160 pounds. I am now 78
years old and active and
healthy.”
Mimi is another reader
who has experimented with
her diet: “I have changed
my diet this past year, eliminating most white carbs
and sugars from my meals.
As before, I still eat lots of
fruit and veggies and only
fish and poultry, but I have
increased my intake of fats,
including olive oil, small
amounts of butter and other
full-fat dairy. I also eat moderate amounts of fatty foods
such as whole eggs, salmon,
avocados and nuts.
“I find that I’m not hungry between meals, and
my craving for junk and
large portions of starch has
greatly diminished. I’m eating less and slowly losing
weight without really trying
and without counting calories.”
Such stories now make
sense scientifically. Research has shown that
full-fat dairy products
may actually lower fat
in the liver and improve
insulin sensitivity (American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition, June 2014).
Many of the former
food taboos from the
nutrition establishment
were based as much on
beliefs as evidence. This
new study should encourage the experts to pay
attention to the latest scientific data.

Wilson nonprofit to review USDA housing loans
From staff reports
The Wilson Community
Improvement Association
is one of nine nonprofits
across the United States
recently selected to help
the U.S. Department of
Agriculture oversee a lowincome housing loan ap-
plication process.
The association executed a memorandum of
agreement with the USDA last week designating
it as an intermediary in
the certified packaging
process for USDA Section 502 loans. A new federal rule that took effect
May 19 instructs USDA
state directors to require
packaged loan applications to be submitted for
consideration through an
intermediary unless they
meet opt-out requirements.
Intermediaries like
the WCIA will review all
loan packages for quality
assurance and provide
supplemental training
to improve the quality of
loan applications, the association said Monday.
“We are appreciative
of the confidence and
trust USDA has shown
in us, and we are equally
humbled by our nonprofit
partners’ belief in and support of our leadership,” association Executive Director Barbara Blackston said
in a statement. “Not only
does WCIA view this opportunity as the first step
toward its own quest for
financial independence,
but it also affords us the
opportunity to ensure that
the residents of Wilson
and surrounding rural
communities continue to
have access to USDA resources for the purchase
and/or rehabilitation of
much-needed safe, decent
and affordable housing.”
Section 502 loans, also
known as single-family
housing direct home
loans, allow low-income
applicants to purchase
homes in eligible rural
areas. Properties financed
with direct loan funds
must generally be 2,000
square feet or less.
Borrowers are required
to repay all or a portion of
the payment subsidy received over the life of the
loan when the title to the
property transfers or the
borrower is no longer living in the home, according
to information the USDA’s
website.
For more information on
the loan program, call the
Wilson Community Improvement Association at
252-243-4855 or the USDA
Rural Development state
office at 919-873-2051.
Clerk shot in robbery;
$5,000 reward offered
GOLDSBORO — A
$5,000 reward is available
for anyone who can help
deputies identify and arrest three men accused
of robbing and shooting
a Wayne County convenience store at gunpoint
Monday night.
The robbery occurred
around 11 p.m. At Handy
Mart, 2495 U.S. 13 North
outside Goldsboro, Maj.
Tom Effler of the Wayne
County Sheriff’s Office
said.
Deputies say the clerk
was in the process of closing and locking the store
when three unknown black
men approached from the
south side, pointed a gun at
him and forced him to reenter the store. One of the
robbers went behind the
counter, taking lottery tickets and tobacco products,
while another held the employee at gunpoint, according to the sheriff’s office.
“Sometime during this
incident, the clerk attempted to escape when
the subjects began shooting and the clerk was
struck by gunfire,” Effler
said in a Tuesday release.
Deputies are asking any
witnesses or any member
of the public with information in the case to come
forward. Those with de-
tails can call Detective Anthony Mullis at 919-7311394, Lt. Shawn Harris at
919-731-1783, the Wayne
County Sheriff’s Office
at 919-731-1480 or Crime
Stoppers at 919-735-2255.
E&J Pope & Son, Inc.,
which owns and operates
the Handy Mart store, is
offering a $5,000 reward
for information leading to
the arrest and conviction
of the robbers.
Tipsters can collect that
reward in addition to a
cash reward from Crime
Stoppers, which pays for
information leading to a
suspect’s arrest.

Pastor pleads guilty in child rape case
GREENVILLE — A Pitt
County pastor has pleaded
guilty to second-degree
rape after prosecutors say
he had sex with an underage girl he met on social
media.
Charles Gregory Prayer
Jr., 38, of 1206 Farmville
Blvd. In Greenville, was
sentenced to a minimum
of 5 years, 4 months to a
maximum of 11 years, 5
months in prison on the
charge, Assistant District
Attorney Jeffrey Cannon
announced Monday.
Gregory was a pastor at
the Elijah’s Mantle Apostolic Church in Greenville,
according to
prosecutors.
He had “a
number of
inappropriate
conversations” with
Prayer
the girl on
social media
and the relationship led to
physical contact on March
1, 2015, according to Cannon.
Prosecutors said an
adult relative of the victim
reported the relationship
to Greenville police later
that month.
“The child in this case
lost her innocence and Mr.
Prayer, in return, lost his
freedom,” Cannon said
in a written statement.
“Charles Gregory Prayer
Jr. was entrusted by the
community and this child
to help people in need, not
exploit them.”
Cannon said Greenville
police worked with prosecutors, the victim’s family
and others in the criminal
justice system “using
a team approach” and
pressed for a swift resolution “to reduce future
trauma to the child victim
and her family.”
From staff reports
Pot plants seized; 3 charged
in separate drug arrests
GOLDSBORO — Deputies say they seized six
marijuana plants from
a Wayne County man’s
home after they responded to a disturbance there
Saturday.
The Wayne County
Sheriff’s Office announced three drug arrests Monday, including
the cannabis confiscation
at 68-year-old David Lawrence Dennington’s 101
Eagle Ridge home in the

Maj. Tom Effler said
Dennington consented
to a search of the home.
Deputies removed the
plants and charged Dennington with six counts of
manufacturing marijuana
and one count each of possession with intent to sell
marijuana, maintaining a
dwelling for a controlled
substance and possession
of drug paraphernalia.
Dennington
was taken to
the magistrates’ office
and released
Dennington on a $7,500
unsecured
bond.
The following day,
deputies say
22-year-old
Brandon Curtis Johnson of

Johnson
Road north of
Mount Olive
was caught
with heroin
and drug
paraphernalia
in his car at a

the intersection of Durham Lake and
South Landfill roads.
Johnson was charged
with possession of heroin
and possession of drug
paraphernalia and booked
into the Wayne County
Detention Center in
Goldsboro on a $1,000 secured bond.
On July 6, Wayne
County deputies arrested
29-year-old Calvin Jerome
Jones after stopping his
car in the Dudley community. Effler said Jones had
about 9 grams of marijuana, a half-gram of heroin
and about 1.8 grams of
crack cocaine.
Jones was charged with
possession with intent
to sell or deliver heroin,
possession with intent to
sell or deliver cocaine and
possession of marijuana.
He was jailed under a
$12,500 secured bond.

N.C. AG says body
camera law needs fixing
By Anna Gronewold
RALEIGH — North
Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper, the
Democratic challenger for
governor, said Tuesday
that the state's new law
excluding police camera
recordings from the public
record goes too far.
The law puts North
Carolina among about a
half dozen states that specifically exclude body and
dash cam recordings from
open records laws. Republican Gov. Pat McCrory
signed it Monday.
It allows a person shown
in a video to ask police to
view the recording, it but
not copy it. Law enforcement agencies can deny
such requests, citing concerns about safety, reputation or an ongoing investigation. Then it would be
up to a judge.
“It looks to me like it's
lot more difficult with this
legislation to make a video
public,” Cooper said.
The state's chief law
enforcement officer said
these recordings should
be considered public re-
cords, with some exemptions to protect the privacy
of victims or the integrity
of criminal investigations.
Enabling people to see
what actually happens can
protect both officers and
citizens, he said.
“Obviously this is a
complicated issue with
a lot of details and a lot
of potential for making
sure that we ensure that
justice is done at the end
of the day,” Cooper said.
“We need to see how this
works first and how the
courts are going to react to
this, because it's important
to have these cameras.”
McCrory fired back on
Tuesday, saying the law
taking effect Oct. 1 walks
the fine line between
transparency and citizen
privacy.
“The attorney general
did not give that input prior to that bill being developed that I know of,” McCrory said. “But the bill is
a common sense approach
and balance between respecting the rights of our
police officers while also
balancing the need for the
public needs to know.”
Civil liberties groups
and social justice activists said the law will make
holding officers accountable more difficult, particularly after last week's
killings of black men by
white officers in Louisiana
and Minnesota, and the
attack by a black sniper
that killed five officers at a
march in Dallas.
“At a time when people
across the country are
calling for greater transparency and accountability from law enforcement
agencies and officers,
Governor McCrory's bill to
keep police body camera
footage hidden from the
public moves us in the
wrong direction,” state
Democratic Party chairwoman Patsy Keever's
statement said.
The law passed with
overwhelming support
from the GOP-dominated
General Assembly, and is
supported by the state's
sheriffs' and police chiefs'
associations. They said it
will increase transparency
because it clarifies the
recordings are not personnel files, which are nearly
impossible for third parties to access.
McCrory signs Map Act, industrial hemp bills
RALEIGH — A short-term
response to a North Carolina Supreme Court ruling
last month over land for
proposed highway projects
and slight adjustments to
a 2015 law authorizing experimental industrial hemp
farming have been signed
by Gov. Pat McCrory.
McCrory's office announced Tuesday he
signed five more bills from
the General Assembly.
One bill addresses the
Map Act, which had been
used by the state to keep
property costs in check
while planning to build
loops around cities. The
justices said the land-use
restrictions effectively
took private property from
landowners, who could be
compensated.
The new law in part directs how litigation covering thousands of landowners will be paid for.

Few, if any, of the more than 70 players on the East-West All-Star Game
football rosters have the experience
Zack Foster has at the North Carolina
Coaches Association’s annual midsummer all-star clash.
As the son of Southern Nash High
head coach Brian Foster, who has
served two East-West All-Star Game
coaching stints, Zack Foster will be
making his third trip to the game, but
first as a player.
“It’s going to be really cool because
two years ago (when Brian Foster was
the East head coach), I was a ball boy
and I remember thinking back then
that it would be crazy If I got to play in
it,” said the younger Foster, who is one
of two quarterbacks on the East roster.
“I was pretty shocked because I know
how many great QBs there are in the
state.”
The East-West All-Star football game,
now in its 68th year, will be played
Wednesday, July 20, at Grimsley High
in Greensboro.
Foster’s production as the Firebirds
starting quarterback the last two seasons supports his selection. Playing in
a double-wing offensive set that was
geared primarily towards the run, Foster threw for more than 2,700 yards
and 29 touchdowns while completing
54 percent of his pass attempts in two
seasons and produced a career QB rating of 100.87.
Of course, it didn’t hurt that East
head coach Tom Nelson of Southern
Nash’s 3-A Big East Conference rival
Fike had seen plenty examples of Foster’s ability as a pocket passer.
Foster will split time with another
Wilson Times readership-area player
in Greene Central’s Tre Wade, who ran
for more than 1,000 yards while passing for over 2,000 in his senior season.

some packages for both of them,” Nel-

(Abrams) obviously plays
well at Wedgewood. Every
shot counts, but it feels
good to have that cushion.”
Abrams fumed over his
inconsistency.

“The way Bryson plays,
that’s a tall task. I could

Ethan Boyette, in 9-10,
again impressed with three
drives that either reached
or sailed over the green on
par-4 layouts.
“I parred every hole,” he
reasoned with a shrug.
A missed birdie attempt
from some 3 feet on No. 5
cost the younger Abrams
an under-par round.
“The putt broke more
than I thought and I didn’t
hit it as hard as I wanted,”
he explained. “It happens;
that’s the game of golf. I’ve
just got to get putting better. I am hitting my driver

No player emerged
more excited than 15-16
front-runner Clark, a rising
junior at Hunt who chipped
in for eagle on the par-5,

No. 3.
“This is just good; this
is an amazing day,” Clark
gushed. “I started hitting
my wedges great and got
into a little groove. All my
wedges were really tight. I
scrambled really good.”
With a huge lead and just
18 holes remaining, Clark
commented: “Just stay
smooth and keep it going.”
Warren Matthews, in
13-14, birdied Nos. 7 and
13 in building his lead to
37 shots. He mentioned
his final-round goal will be
“to break 80 again.” He’s
seeking his fifth age-group
championship in six years
of county competition.
Drew O’Neal, the lefthander, insists he will
overtake his right-handed

nine-hole final round.
“I just played bad (Tuesday),” he admitted. “If he
makes 6, I’ll make 5. I’ll just
play better than he does.”
Word of Drew’s intent
reached Nate, who responded: “Oh! OK. But he’s
not. I’ve got him by four

Girls: Ricks gets helpful advice
from former Fike coach Boykin
Boykin started its round on
the back nine. Ricks flourished at 1-over with a birdie
on No. 12.
The final nine became a
grind because of constantly
waiting for the younger age
groups, who began their
rounds on No. 1.
“I don’t have anything
today,” Bunn said, “but (the
lengthy wait) breaks all the
momentum.”
Ricks, however, heeded
the advice of retired and
legendary Fike High girls
and boys golf coach Jim
Boykin Jr., now a driving
force for the Wilson County
Junior Golf Association that
sponsors the annual championship.
Commented Ricks: “He
just told me to relax in between and, when I started
back, to flip the switch and
stay focused. That helped
a lot.”
Of the prospect of concluding her county championship eligibility with a
third medalist accolade,
Ricks remarked: “I just
want to come out and do
the same thing — keep everything together and stay
focused.”

Foster: Was a capable passer at SN
Zack Foster (14), running the ball for Southern Nash in a game at Fike on Oct. 9, 2015,
threw for more than 2,700 yards and 29
touchdowns in two seasons as Firebirds
starting quarterback. Times file photo
son said. “In that game, the
quarterback’s role is to manage
the offense and not put us in
bad situations and not turn the
ball over and move the chains.
They’re usually low scoring affairs.”
Foster proved himself as a capable manager of the Firebirds
offense that produced nearly
350 yards per game.
“Not only that, being the son
of a coach, he has a tremendous
amount of savvy for the game
and feel for it,” Nelson said.
Foster acknowledged that
playing in an all-star game, with
just a few days of practice beforehand, will require a certain
amount of improvisation.
“I know it’s a little bit differ-
ent but the guys we’re playing
against, it’s not like they’ve had
months of preparation either,”
he said.
He said that while Southern
Nash operated from a doublewing base formation, there
were plenty of instances the
Firebirds switched gears, so
Foster feels he will be comfortable handling whatever sets the
East coaches come up with.
“It’s football,” he said. “It can’t
be that hard.”
Foster and his teammates will
report for all-star duty Friday,
but in a few weeks, Foster will
join the football team at North
Carolina Wesleyan College,
where he has earned a full
academic scholarship. However, the chance to play one
more time as a high schooler
and represent Southern Nash
is one that Foster cherishes.
It’s also an opportunity that he
didn’t foresee when he took off
his Firebirds uniform for the
final time last November after
Eastern Alamance eliminated
them in the second round of the
North Carolina High School
Athletic Association 3-A playoffs.
“Honestly, I felt after the Eastern Alamance game that was
the last time I would represent
Southern Nash and everything
I had worked for had come to
an end,” he said. “When I found
out (in April) that I was on the
(East) team, I was getting another chance to put on the pads
again.”

Wilson City outfielder Daylon Hendricks reaches to make a catch in the bottom of the third inning against Winston-Salem
National in the North Carolina Little League Baseball Ages 7-8 state championship game Tuesday in Southern Bank Stadium.
Winston-Salem won 12-0. Paul Durham | Times
Little League: Wilson goes
9-2 in Ages 7-8 postseason
the championship game of
the District 6 tournament,
also played in Southern
Bank Stadium.
“Pretty well,” said Wilson
second baseman Will Doll
when asked how he felt his
team played overall in the
playoffs. “We just blew this
last game. We couldn’t do
anything.”
Wilson’s woes began
almost immediately in the
bottom of the first inning
when Winston-Salem leadoff batter Tyler Koonin tripled and scored on a single
by the next hitter, Greyson
Jones. After another single
and an error, WCLL seemed
poised to escape without
further damage after a pair
of groundouts. But Jack
Freehill smacked a basesloaded double that cleared
them all and gave WSN a
commanding 4-0 lead.
After another 1-2-3 inning
by Wilson in the top of the
second, Winston-Salem
added an unearned run in
the bottom half.
Daniel Holloman’s leadoff
single in the top of third was
Wilson’s first hit but that
was all the offense mustered.
The dam burst open in
the bottom of the third for
Winston-Salem with seven
runs on five hits and four
Wilson errors. Freehill
again delivered the big blow
with a three-run home run
and the lead ballooned to
12-0. Freehill finished 2 for
2 with six RBIs while Jones
drove in three runs.
“You know, it took us the
three games in the pool to
get warmed up and ready to
go, but in the playoffs, they
just flipped the switch,”
Winston-Salem manager
David Jones said. “Something came on and they
went back to playing Nats
baseball and that was the
result right there.”
With the 10-run lead rule
in place, Wilson needed
three runs in the top of the
fourth to prolong the game.
The inning started promisingly as Jake Harris and
Brayden Parker connected
for consecutive singles but
the next three batters were
retired and Winston-Salem
players began to celebrate.
“It was very tough but
I’m proud of them,” Adam
Harris said. “They worked
very hard and we made
it to the championship of
the state. I’m very proud of
them.
“They learned a lot this
year and they’re going to
come back next year and be
even better.”

disappointment, Doll was

Browns RB Crowell apologizes
for Instagram drawing
BEREA, Ohio — Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell has apologized
for posting a drawing on Instagram last
week showing a police officer getting his
throat slashed.
Crowell posted the drawing after men in
Louisiana and Minnesota were shot and
killed by police. He subsequently deleted
the post, but a screenshot continued to be
circulated on social media, prompting his
apology Monday.
Five police officers were killed in a sniper attack in Dallas last Thursday night at
a protest over the two deaths. Seven other
officers and two civilians were wounded.
“Last week was an emotional and difficult week as we saw extreme acts of
violence against black men across our
country as well as against police officers
in Dallas,” Crowell said in a statement dis-
tributed by the Browns.
“I posted an image to Instagram in the
midst of that emotion that I shouldn't have
and immediately removed it. It was an extremely poor decision and I apologize for
that mistake and for offending people. My
values and beliefs do not match that image. I am outraged and upset by the deaths
of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile
along with so many others. I am also outraged and saddened by the attacks in Dallas and the deaths of the 5 honorable police officers (Lorne Ahrens, Michael Krol,
Michael J. Smith, Brent Thompson and
Patrick Zamarripa) who were providing
protection while trying to keep peace. We
have to be better as a society, it's not about
color, it's about what's right and wrong.
I was very wrong in posting that image.
Every single life matters, every death as a
result of violence should be treated with
equal outrage and penalty.”

Duncan's retirement the latest
in a summer full of goodbyes
By Jon Krawczynski
AP Basketball Writer
Tim Duncan and Kobe
Bryant. Dwyane Wade
and Kevin Durant. Derrick
Rose and Joakim Noah.
Players synonymous
with their cities and their
franchises are now gone
in a summer of upheaval
the NBA has rarely seen
before, and the teams
left behind begin their
searches for new identities
after saying the hardest of
goodbyes.
“You never would've
been able to convince me
a couple years back that
Wade wouldn't finish his
career in Miami or Durant
would have moved on in
his prime from that great
Oklahoma City team, or
Rose after his MVP year,
four years later he's not in
Chicago anymore,” ABC
analyst Jeff Van Gundy
said. “It just shows you. It's
a hard league. It's hard to
keep your group together.
And when it is able to stay
together, stay relevant, stay
competitive, you're very,
very fortunate.”
Count the San Antonio
Spurs among the chosen
few. Duncan fell in their
lap when the Spurs won
the draft lottery in 1997,
and coach Gregg Popovich
has long credited that bit
of luck for the franchise's
unprecedented run of success.
Five championships,
two MVPs for Duncan,
the most enduring success
story in American sports.
“Leadership can come
from many different areas,
but when your best player
is the best leader, it's amazing how everybody else
falls in line,” said Timberwolves GM Scott Layden,
who was an assistant GM
with the Spurs for the previous four seasons. “The
other thing is how he's
done it with such humility
and modesty. Not looking
for any attention and accolades. It's more of what is
good for the team. ... Both
on and off the court, he set
the tone day-in and dayout.”
Bryant beat Duncan out
of the door by a couple of
months, ending 20 colorful
seasons with the Lakers
with a 60-point outburst
in his final game. The consistency wasn't the same
as Duncan's, but the Lakers captured five titles as
well during Bryant's time
and vaulted back into the
league's hierarchy.
Wade left the Heat for
his hometown Bulls after
13 brilliant seasons and is
perhaps the biggest sports
hero in Miami history, having delivered three championships to South Beach
and serving as an ambassador for the glitzy city by
the bay.
“Moments like this, it
sucks,” Wade said on Saturday after taking a twoyear, $47 million deal from
the Bulls over Miami's offer
of two years and $40 million. “The business side of
the sport, sometimes it just
sucks. That's what we're
dealing with.”
Durant stunned the NBA
by leaving his beloved
Oklahoma City for the jug-
gernaut in Golden State,
ending a nine-year love
affair between the low-key
superstar and a city he and
Russell Westbrook put on
the basketball map.
“Kevin was a part of the
renaissance,” Oklahoma
City mayor Mick Cornett
told ESPN last week.
“This city has come so far,
so fast, probably further,
faster than any city in
American history. Kevin
was right there along with
us. There's a slight sense
of panic.”
And finally, the Bulls
traded Rose, a former MVP
and one of the city's favorite sons, to the New York
Knicks. Noah followed his
friend to the Big Apple in
free agency, meaning two
of the players who embodied the franchise's grit and
determination are now
elsewhere.
The departures came under different circumstances
and by different means, but
they have served to upend
the NBA. Player movement
is one of the league's hallmarks, but Dwyane Wade
in a Bulls jersey?
All players see their careers end eventually. But
Kobe and Timmy in the
same summer?
Injuries to Rose and
Noah no doubt forced Chicago's hand. But both of
the proud fighters wearing
blue and orange?
It will take some getting used to for everyone
involved, and it stands to
have a major impact on the
playoff chases in both conferences.
Duncan may not have
been the force of nature
he was for the Spurs in
his earlier days, and he
may have passed the torch
to Kawhi Leonard and
LaMarcus Aldridge last
season. But his loss in the
locker room, and in the
paint, will be hard for the
Spurs to overcome.
With Leonard, Aldridge,
Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and now Pau Gasol in the
fold, the Spurs should still
be able to hang near the
top of the Western Conference. Without No. 21 in the
middle to keep things calm,
it won't be easy.
“I think it goes way beyond the championships
and the winning,” said
Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer, a longtime Spurs assistant. “I think the culture
that really, he's kind of the
pillar it's been built around.
It is almost impossible to
quantify.”
In some ways, things
have only gotten easier for
the Warriors and Cleveland
Cavaliers, who have met in
the NBA Finals the last two
seasons.
Durant's move to Golden
State gutted the Warriors'
chief rival in the West and
assembled perhaps the
most potent starting lineup
in league history in the Bay
Area.
Wade's move to Chicago
weakened a challenger to
LeBron in the East.
Maybe the only question
left to answer going into
next season is not who will
be there in the end, but
how each of these proud
franchises will handle their
new beginnings.

Silver: No decision on moving
All-Star Game from Charlotte
LAS VEGAS — NBA owners made
no decision Tuesday after a lengthy
debate about moving next year's AllStar Game from Charlotte because of
North Carolina's law limiting protection for LGBT people.
Commissioner Adam Silver said no
vote was taken, but the league realizes
a decision has to come fairly quickly.
He said he was personally disappointed North Carolina legislators
didn't modify the law enough in recent
weeks to make the discussion moot.
“We feel this law is inconsistent with
the core values of the league,” Silver
said.
Silver said the NBA was put in a
situation not entirely its own making
because the law was enacted by North
Carolina's legislature after the 2017
All-Star Game was already awarded
to Charlotte.
He added that the game is important
for the league in ways that aren't always shown on the court.
“The primary test for us is under this
law whether we can successfully host
our All-Star week,” he said. “It is more
than a game, it is a week full of activities in North Carolina. The question
for us becomes in this situation, given
the controversy, given the amount of
discussion, given how hardened the
views are, is this the place we should
be in 2017, at the epicenter of global
basketball where we can go celebrate
our game and our values.”
Silver did not say when a decision
would be made on possibly moving
the game, but that the clock is ticking.
“We're not trying to keep everybody
in suspense,” he said. “We realize this
decision has to be made very quickly.”
Silver's remarks come less than two
weeks after North Carolina legislators revisited the law and chose to
leave it largely unchanged. During
their yearly work session that ended
this month, the General Assembly
restored the ability of workers to use
state law to sue over employment
discrimination on the basis of race,
religion and other factors — but left
gender identity and sexual orientation
unprotected.
The law passed in a March special
session also excludes sexual orienta-
Highlights from Tuesday's
schedule in the Las Vegas
Summer League:
LYLES SHINES
Utah Jazz forward Trey Lyles has been a
standout in the summer league, and he continued his excellence in a 92-89 loss to Portland.
Lyles had 30 points and nine rebounds and
hit 5 of 7 3-point attempts. Lyles tipped in a
rebound at the buzzer of the first overtime to
force a second OT. As a rookie last season, the
6-foot-10 Lyles hit 38 percent from 3-point
range.
SUDDEN DEATH
The Jazz-Blazers game was the first to utilize
the “next shot wins” rule in summer league. In
the second OT in Vegas, the game ends on the
first made shot by either team. The Jazz won
the tip but turned the ball over and Pat Connaughton buried a 3-pointer on the other end
tion and gender identity from antidiscrimination protections related to the
workplace, hotels and restaurants;
and overrules local antidiscrimination
ordinances. Republican leaders have
said the law was passed in response
to a Charlotte ordinance that would
have allowed transgender people to
use restrooms consistent with their
gender identity.
The fate of the law is likely to be
decided in federal courts where dueling lawsuits are being heard, though
those results are likely to come after
the NBA has to make its decision on
the All-Star Game. Elsewhere, other
states have filed lawsuits challenging
federal guidelines on transgender
bathroom access in schools.
A day before North Carolina's
legislature passed the minor change
related to workplace lawsuits, the
NBA issued a joint statement with the
Charlotte Hornets saying that it had
discussed the issue “with numerous
groups at the city and state levels,” but
it doubted proposed changes would
go far enough.
Charlotte officials have said they expected the event to have an economic
impact of around $100 million, based
on data from recent All-Star games in
the comparable New Orleans and Orlando markets. The game could rival
the $164 million economic impact of
the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, the largest finan-
to give Portland the win.
MR. VEGAS
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Justin Anderson was one of the top players in Vegas as a
rookie and he is flexing his muscle in his second
trip this summer. Anderson had 29 points and
11 rebounds in an 88-82 loss to Boston. He hit
6 of 12 3-point attempts in just 27 minutes.
OUBRE JR. EXCELS
Second-year Wizards swingman Kelly Oubre
Jr. has unveiled a versatile game in Las Vegas,
and he played well again in an 87-85 victory
over Brooklyn. Oubre had 16 points, six rebounds and a blocked shot.
NAPIER OUT AGAIN
Former UConn Final Four star Shabazz
Napier is trying to get acquainted with new
teammates after the Portland Trail Blazers
acquired him in a trade with Orlando last week.
But he has missed the last two games, including on Tuesday against Utah, with an injured
left shoulder.
cial bump of any event for the city.
In other league business, Silver
said:
—He supported Kevin Durant's
right to join a Golden State team
already loaded with talent, but acknowledged there were some concerns about having a league where it
seems only two teams have a chance
to win the finals. He said there have
been talks with the players' union
about changing some of the elements
in the free-agent system, and that it
will be a part of the upcoming collective bargaining negotiations.
“I don't think it's good for the
league,” Silver said about the possibility of uneven competitive balance.
—There will be changes in the rules
on deliberate away-from-the-play
fouls to prevent more “Hack A Shaq”
situations. Owners agreed to extend
the prohibition on the fouls from
the last two minutes of the game to
the last two minutes of each period.
Along with other changes, he said, officials feel that 45 percent of the calls
could be eliminated.
“It's not a full step, but this is a serious half-step,” he said.
—The league has no plans to expand beyond its current 30 teams,
but does find Las Vegas an attractive
place to do business. The city recently
got its first pro franchise, with an
NHL team scheduled to begin play
next year.

HOROSCOPE
By Eugenia Last
FRANK & ERNEST
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Contracts, negotiations and setting up a budget for your next
personal expense will work in
your favor and give you the incentive to take care of business
and get on with your life. Planning ahead will ease your stress.
3 stars
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Look for an unusual way to solve
a problem. An open mind and an
honest response will ensure that
no one takes advantage of you.
A short trip to visit a friend or attend a reunion is favored. 3 stars
GARFIELD
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Don’t let what others do or say
bother you. Back away from anyone who tries to take advantage
of your helpful nature. Bring
about change if you feel it will
add to your stability in the future.
Self-improvement projects will
pay off. 3 stars
THE BORN LOSER
CONTRACT BRIDGE
By Steve Becker
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
You excel when faced with competition. Stay focused on doing
things differently and you will
stand out. Self-expression coupled with a passionate approach
to your projects will help you gain
respect and the chance to move
into a better position. 5 stars
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Problems will escalate if you become
emotional. Rethink your next
move, especially if it may hurt
your reputation. A money matter
will be based on false information. Bide your time before you
lay your cash on the table. 2 stars
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Interesting information or offers
will come your way via mail,
phone or someone whom you
encounter throughout your day.
Engage in a descriptive analysis
of what you have to offer, and
you will increase your chances of
advancing. 4 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keep
your ideas to yourself to avoid
anyone stealing them. Trust your
instincts and follow through with
your plans in secret. Your discipline and diligence will pay off in
the end. Don’t let what others do
disrupt your plans. 3 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Take care of your responsibilities
before turning to someone else’s
dilemmas. Strive for perfection
and express your desires and you
will find a way to bring about the
lifestyle changes that will make
you happy. 3 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): Fight for your rights, but not
at the expense of losing everything. It’s up to you to gauge how
much you share and what you
keep a secret. Bring about change
without giving anyone a chance
to stand in your way. 3 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): You’ll find the best way to
take advantage of a good deal. A
partnership will prove to be valuable, and sharing the work and
rewards will be more satisfying
than you might have anticipated.
4 stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Don’t take unnecessary risks.
Stick to your game plan and
don’t stop until you reach your
destination. Someone is likely
to use emotional manipulation
to influence you. Don’t give in to
pressure or bribery. 2 stars
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Put your money to work for you
and positive results will come
your way. Investing in your home,
a partnership or a cause you believe in will be satisfying. Being
able to act fast will help you beat
the competition. 5 stars
