For the Love of Dogs fights fine over water access
By Corey Friedman
Times Editor
FARMVILLE — After inadvertently running afoul of
the rules at his private animal
shelter, Max Fitz-Gerald decided to break them on purpose.
In a daylong administrative
hearing appealing his $10,800
fine from state regulators, the
co-owner of For the Love of
Dogs admitted Tuesday he
defied instructions from three
inspectors in order to challenge the resulting enforcement action in court.
“I deliberately chose not to
do it in order to bring publicity to a law that is too broad,
overreaches and paints everybody with the same brush,”
Fitz-Gerald said on the witness stand. “I like a good,
righteous fight — and this is a
good fight.”
The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Animal Welfare Section
fined For the Love of Dogs after October 2015 inspections
showed the shelter failed to
‘It’s the principle of the thing. If we
were trying to harm dogs and not care
for them, we would welcome that fine.
If it was a dollar, I would fight it.’
Max Fitz-Gerald
provide water in kennels and
runs for some of the dogs it
houses — a violation of the
state Animal Welfare Act.
Fitz-Gerald argued that the
statute was written with pet
shops, breeders and government-run animal shelters in
mind and should not apply
to his facility, where dogs
roam the expansive 80-acre
complex during regular daily
intervals and have access to
water outdoors.
Assistant Attorney General
Christopher McLennan, who
represented state inspectors
in For the Love of Dogs’ appeal, quizzed Fitz-Gerald on
his understanding of the law.
In response to McLennan’s
questions, Fitz-Gerald said
he engaged in what amounted to civil disobedience in
order to apply scrutiny to the
statute.
“I’m not above the law, I’m
not saying that to you,” he explained. “What I am saying is
if I disagree with the law, I will
stand up and fight to change
the law.”
Wilson attorney Will Farris represented For the Love
of Dogs in the quasi-judicial
hearing before Administrative
Law Judge Melissa Lassiter
held in the second-floor courtroom of the Farmville Municipal Building.
INSPECTIONS AND FINES
State inspector Lisa Carlson
visited the private shelter on
Quaker Road outside Wilson
on Oct. 20, 2015, after former
For the Love of Dogs volunteer Rod Chandler filed a
complaint alleging the shelter
was not providing dogs with
water dishes in their kennels.
“There was no water available in any of the kennels or
in the family house where the
dogs ran loose,” Carlson said
during her testimony Tuesday.
Fitz-Gerald said he removed
pails of water from kennels
and runs in two of the facility’s three buildings used for
housing dogs because some
of the animals were toppling
the pails and suffering cuts
from exposed stainless steel
bars where the water had
been placed.
Carlson explained that the
shelter was not providing
“continuous access to water”
as required. She said Della

6 arrested, 1 sought in home repair fraud scheme
By Olivia Neeley
Times Staff Writer
NASHVILLE — Authorities
arrested several suspects,
including one from Sharpsburg, in connection to a home
repair scheme that duped a
homeowner out thousands of
dollars.
Earlier this month, Nash
County sheriff’s officials re-

sponded to the 6000 block of
N.C. 58 in Nashville regarding a possible case of home
repair fraud. The woman told
deputies she had paid several
thousands of dollars to the
contractors over a period of
several months for home repairs, according to deputies.
Officials said the checks totaled nearly $13,100.
The woman contacted the

sheriff’s office on June 6 after
she believed the repairs had
not been completed.
After further investigation,
Nash County detectives discovered that indeed no repairs
had been completed on the
woman’s home. Deputies said
they sent out a Nash County
building inspector who completed a courtesy inspection
of the woman’s home. The

The Wilson Housing Authority has
been named a high performer by the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for 2015.
It’s HUD’s highest designation for a
top-performing public housing agency.
The WHA scored 94 out of 100 possible points as a part of the federal
assessment. Officials score public
housing authorities on various indicators including physical inspections of
properties, occupancy rates, rental collection rates and the financial health of
the agency.
“This is the highest we have ever
scored,” said Kelly Vick, WHA president. “I think it shows we are managing our assets well and keeping our
properties in great condition. We are
housing people in a timely manner.”
The WHA also received a perfect
score on its financial indicator as well.
“It shows we are financially sound,”
Vick said.
HUD will award the WHA an increase in capital funding as a result of
the high-performer status.
“It entitles us to get a little bit more
funding, a 3 percent bonus in capital
funding for the next year,” Vick said.
He said that will help the WHA even
more to keep its units in better shape
and to perform upgrades that are
needed.
Vick said the designation by HUD is
the result of a team effort among Wilson Housing Authority employees.
“That shows everybody is performing
in a high fashion,” he said.
The WHA owns and operates 747
public housing units and administers
661 Section 8 vouchers. The agency
assists 3,000 lower-income individuals
with housing in the Wilson area and
has 30 staff members. The WHA has an
annual budget of $7.5 million generated from federal funding through HUD
and tenant rental income.
HOUSING THE HOMELESS
The Wilson Housing Authority has
taken on various new projects over the
past year, including carrying out its
Housing the Homeless initiative.
“We have housed between 60 and 70
(homeless) families and individuals
since the beginning of this year,” Vick
said.
Vick said it has been made possible
due to various community partners
working together on the initiative.
Agencies including the Wilson
County Department of Social Services,

WHA: Projects completed
Hope Station, the Wesley
Shelter and the American
Red Cross work to verify
those who are homeless
and them refer them to the
WHA.
Vick said there are a
number of homeless people on the WHA waiting
list who are designated as
a priority. Wilson has been
on the forefront in getting
the homeless housed and
back on their feet to become self-reliant.
REMODELED UNITS,
GARDEN PROJECT AND
MORE
The WHA also recently
completed an expansive
remodeling and modern-
ization project of 26 units
in the Whitfield neighborhood beside the SaveA-Youth building, or the
former Adams School.
Vick said housing authority staffers used the
agency’s capital funding
to complete the project.
“We’ve been doing
that over the past year,”
he said, adding that the
units are three and four
bedrooms, meaning they
can bring in more families
to take advantage of the
Save-A-Youth program as
well.
Vick said the agency
was also able to contribute
money to help Save-AYouth replace its roof,
which has been recently
completed.
“We have some nonpublic housing that we
own and operate,” Vick
said. “We had proceeds
that came from that and
were able to earmark
those funds for the Save-AYouth roof. We thought it
was a good asset and utilized in the community.”
Vick said the WHA is
also expanding its garden project. Thanks to
community leaders and
partnerships, residents are
given hand-made wooden
boxes and plants to grow
their own vegetables and
herbs.
Whitfield residents were
the first to take part in the
project last summer. Vick
said it was such a success
that they are expanding the garden project to
Fountain Drive.

No money for economic development intern
While the Wilson Economic Development
Council Board of Directors didn’t have a quorum to take action at its
Tuesday meeting, board
members did discuss the
budget and recruitment
efforts.
“We’ll be in the black,
but just slightly,” Executive Director Jennifer
Lantz said about the end
of fiscal year 2015-16.
She said that some costs
are rising nominally in
the coming fiscal year
with several adjustments
mades to accomodate the
expected increases, including the elimination of
the intern position.
“We just aren’t going to
be able to do that,” she
said. “I hate that, but we’re
all going to work a little
harder.”
Council staff has been to
a number of events across
the country to pitch Wilson to real estate agents
and site consulants, but
Lantz said her focus is
going to shift to existing
projects and let Assistant
Director Cindy Ingram to
help sell Wilson to companies looking to expand
operations.
The board will meet
again in July.

Middlesex set to increase zoning fees
By Brie Handgraaf
Times Staff Writer
MIDDLESEX — Town
officials gathered Tuesday
morning to discuss recommended changes to the
proposed fiscal year 201617 budget, which is up for
discussion and action at
7:30 p.m. next Monday.
Commissioners met
in May and earlier this
month to discuss the $1.2
million budget and Mayor
Luther “LuHarvey” Lewis
Jr. brought up two proposed changes: increasing the zoning fees from
$35 to $50 and setting the
cemetery fee at $1,000.
Lewis said residents paid
one fee for cemetery services on weekdays and
another on weekends, but
recommended setting a
standard rate to open and
close the graves.
The increased zoning
fee is comparable to surrounding towns and will
generate additional revenue for the town.
“We budgeted $700 for
zoning fees but I wrote
four zoning permits yesterday,” Lewis said.
After some discussion,
the changes were added to
the budget, but the spending plan will not be voted
on until after the public
hearing on Monday.
The town’s tax rate is
at 57 cents per $100 valuation with Lewis stating
each cent on the tax rate
generates about $4,400 for
the town. Nash County officials estimate a 7-9-cent
decrease in valuations, but
he said the town has seen
about a 3 percent bump
because of construction of
new houses.
“My hope is that would
offset any decrease in a
revaluation,” he said.
The budget does cover
requests for small pay
increases and upgraded
computers in the police
department, but continues
to provide public works
services in-house as opposed to a proposal to
outsource the work to
Envirolink. Public Works
Supervisor James Liles
expressed his hesitations
to the board about contracting with Envirolink,
but Lewis said the gain
anticipates a variety of
cost-saving benefits and
reduced capital expenditures. He added that if
the deal is pursued in the
coming months, employees would have a chance
to discuss concerns with
Envirolink.
“We want this to be a
good move for the town,
but also for the employees,” Lewis said.
Officials plan to install
new signs at the town’s
library, including a sign
about the handicapped
accessibility of the rear
entrance, and make some
updates to the town hall
before the end of the fiscal year on June 30. Lewis
urged commissioners to
keep the lease of 11180
E. Finch Ave. in mind as
it generates $39,600 for
the town, but the five-year
lease is up next year. He
said he’s started discussions with the current tenant, Southern Nash Dental, about the future, but
no commitment has been
made to move or to stay in
the building.
“If they decide not to
pursue that contract after
the fifth year, then we
have to find another tenant or a way to replace
that nearly $40,000 in revenue,” he said.

IN OUR OPINION
No-fly list fails
as screening test
for gun buyers
T
o the average air
traveler, the proposal oozes egalitarian simplicity. For
war-weary Americans still haunted by the grim
shadow of 9/11, it sounds
sublimely sensible.
It even has its own headline-friendly, bumper stickerready nickname: No fly, no
buy.
But the legislation U.S.
senators pitched Monday to
bar the sale of firearms to
suspects on the no-fly list and
terrorist watch list isn’t prudent or preventive. It’s more
tarnished brass shell casing
than silver bullet.
In the wake of the horrific slaughter of 49 innocent
people gathered at the Pulse
nightclub in Orlando, Florida
during a gay pride celebration June 12, the impulse to
enact meaningful gun control
reforms has jolted Congress
into action. No fewer than
four proposals were debated
on the Senate floor — two
advanced by Democrats, two
favored by Republicans.
None of the policies
reached the threshold of 60
votes needed to advance, but
the framework for each rests
on the shame shaky foundation — secret government
blacklists.
American citizens and lawful U.S. residents are deemed
security threats and banned
from commercial flights
without a scintilla of due
process. They have no right
to preempt their inclusion by
challenging the allegations
against them. People only
find out they’re on the list
when they’re denied admittance to the terminal. There’s
an appeals process, but it’s
cumbersome, clunky and
mired in federal red tape.
False positives on the no-fly
list are legendary — people
with names similar to those
of suspected terror sympathizers have been subjected
to humiliation, scrutiny and
scorn. They include the late
U.S. Sen. Edward “Ted”
Kennedy, who was told “T.
Kennedy” had been used
as a terror suspect’s alias,
American troops returning
from Iraq and even federal
air marshals.
Politicians, civil liberties
watchdogs and journalists
have been turned away at
the airport gate, relegated to
the list for reasons that have
nothing do with legitimate
security concerns. They
include an Ivy League law
professor who publicly criticized George W. Bush and 53
political activists wrongfully
flagged as terrorists by the
Maryland State Police.
Plenty of nefarious characters share space on the no-fly
ledger with those improperly
listed. They should be investigated, charged, tried and sentenced, not left in an interminable legal limbo. Such lists
are becoming Gitmo Lite — a
less severe version of being
imprisoned indefinitely while
facing no formal charges.
The whole thing is eerily
reminiscent of the colossal
dragnet cast by Sen. Joseph
McCarthy in an effort to
root out Communism and
the resulting Hollywood
blacklist, which studios used
to eliminate actors and film
crew members feared to have
socialist leanings.
There is a tremendous difference between boarding
a commercial airplane and
legally purchasing a firearm.
The former is a privilege. The
latter is a constitutional right.
The no-fly list is in dire
need of wholesale revision
and reform. It should not be
misused as a screening tool
for American citizens who
seek to exercise their Second
Amendment right to keep
and bear arms.
Gun buyers are already
subjected to federal background checks, a prudent
way to ensure purchasers are
not criminals who, by virtue
of their convictions, have
forfeited the full exercise of
their rights.
Checking their names
against government watch
lists would not turn up criminal records. It would return
only unsubstantiated suspicion.
Our U.S. government
should be held to a high standard before it can deprive
us of civil liberties enumerated in the Bill of Rights.
American citizens must be
informed of the accusations
they face, be given an opportunity to examine the
evidence against them and
question their accusers and
ultimately be tried by a jury
of their peers.
While liberals and conservatives have long been at loggerheads over gun control,
we would hope that due process of law is a principle both
sides can agree on.
Anything less would be,
frankly, un-American.

Blueberries add
new twist to a
favorite recipe
I know, I know.
My last recipe
featured blueberries. But I really
can’t resist sharing another one!
For years, I’ve
made my sisLisa Boykin ter’s absolutely
delicious apple
Batts
snack cake; I
even shared it here two years
ago.
I never varied the recipe because it was perfect just the
way it was. But a few weeks
ago, I had several pints of blueberries in my refrigerator and
started brainstorming ways to
use them. For some reason, that
simple recipe came to mind. So I
experimented!
The first step in the apple cake
is to combine the apples and
sugar for about 30 minutes to
allow a syrup to form. I didn’t
have time to wait 30 minutes to
see if a syrup would form with
the blueberries. Instead, I let
the blueberries sit in the sugar
while I assembled the rest of the
recipe.
The other ingredients for this
simple snack cake are items
most of us have on hand including flour, sugar, oil, egg, cinnamon and vanilla.
After I had stirred in all the
ingredients, I realized the batter
was too thick because the syrup
from the apples in the original
recipe was missing. I just added
1⁄4 cup of milk, and the batter
was perfect. One other change
from the original recipe: I omitted pecans. The next time I
make the cake, I will probably
add some lemon zest for added
flavor.
I could smell the blueberries
cooking while the cake baked
and couldn’t wait to take a bite!
I was very pleased with the
results. The cake browned just
like the apple version, leaving a
nice firm and chewy texture on
the outside with a tender cake
packed with beautiful, sweet
berries on the inside.
We enjoyed the cake warm
from the oven and over the
next few days. Hope you like
it too!

Make yourself a batch of these very easy pickles
By Melissa D'Arabian
In the world of summer barbecues, the pickle
hardly plays a starring
role.
Truth to be told, “hold
the pickles” is my standard order, as I am not a
fan of pickles on a cheeseburger, nor do I particularly care for pickle juice

But homemade quick
pickles made from a
variety of fresh veggies,
not just cucumbers, are a
completely different story!
Quick pickles are made in
minutes, not days, so the
veggies stay crisper than
store-bought versions.
And since you control
the ingredients, you can
customize your pickles to
make them as tart, sweet,
sour, spicy or salty as you
want.
Make one batch, and
you'll immediately know
how to adjust the flavors
to your liking. You can
even make a variety of
pickling flavors easily —
add extra smashed garlic
cloves and red pepper
flakes to the green beans
and bump up the vinegar
to give cauliflower floret

can even pickle fruit —

along a jar or two to someone else's party this summer as a healthy hostess

Or, just keep a jar or
two in your fridge for

is easy enough to keep
your fridge stocked, too.
Just six simple pantry
ingredients are needed:
vegetable, vinegar, salt,
sugar, garlic and an herb
or spice. Which means
homemade pickles can
probably be on your menu
tonight without even a trip
to the store.

Need To Move Forward
Dear Need To Move Forward: You wrote that your
lover has never said he
loves his wife. You think
he has strong feelings
for you, but has he ever
defined them as “love”?
Has it occurred to you that
what he “loves” may be his
financial net worth, and
THAT is the reason he will
never divorce his wife?
I don’t blame you for
feeling sad and depressed.
If I were you, I’d feel sad
and depressed too. You
have violated your own
principles and are in a
relationship that, much as
you might wish it, will never bring you the validation
you’re looking for. When
you start liking yourself
again, you may find that
you need him less. And
that is when you’ll end this
affair and reconnect with
your sense of self-worth,
because as it stands, you
cannot have both.
Dear Abby: Our daughter came home for spring
break from college with
troubling news. She has
been sexually harassed by
a very large and aggressive lesbian in her dorm
this year. When the girl
first came on to her, my
daughter told her NO. Later, on two separate occasions, the girl pushed her
to the floor and groped her
in the lobby of the dorm.
My daughter was afraid
to fight the girl because
she’s small. She was also
afraid to report it — I
guess she thought it was
an isolated incident.
Recently she found out
that the girl has done the
same thing to several
other girls. They all went
to the Title IX people on
campus to file a complaint, but were told they
won’t get any answers
until late summer, which
is after school is out.
Is this kind of harassment common in our
schools? Should she take
it to the campus police or
city police? Our daughter
really likes her college,
but she shouldn’t have to
put up with this. — Troubling News
Dear Troubling News:
I agree that your daughter — and the other girls
— should not have to put
up with being assaulted.
I wish you had revealed a
little bit more about what
happened when the assaults were reported. Was
the aggressor counseled?
Warned to stay away
from the girls she had
harassed? Removed from
the dorm?
If nothing was done,
before informing the police, I’m advising you to
discuss this with a lawyer
because a school that
would ignore what happened may be liable.

who aren’t night-shift
workers, but who still
sleep fewer than six hours
per night, also have an increased risk for diabetes.
So the risk of diabetes in
night-shift workers may
simply come from not getting enough deep, restorative sleep.
Studies that find associations between nightshift work and a disease
like diabetes don’t prove
that the night-shift work
causes the diabetes. So
colleagues of mine at
Harvard Medical School
tested that possibility
directly. They built an underground living space
and asked 21 people to
live in it for six weeks.
They were shut off from
the outside world, with
no clue as to when it was
night or day. The scientists
decided when it was bedtime, and the lights went
off. They also decided on
the timing and content of
meals, and on how active
the subjects in the study
could be.
For the first three weeks,
the scientists made night-
time in the underground
space occur at the same
time as night in the real
world above. Then, they
gradually made “night”
shorter, and made it occur
when it was really daytime
in the world above. Finally, they gradually made
“night” longer, until it occurred when it was really
night in the world above.
During that middle period,
when study participants
slept less and had disrupted circadian rhythms, they
developed higher blood
sugar levels and started to
gain weight.
Another health risk faced
by night-shift workers is
from driving home after
work. Several studies show
that they are more likely to
have accidents. That’s particularly true if their drive
home lasts longer than 30
minutes, which is true of
about a third of shift workers. Other studies find that
about 20 percent of fatal
auto accidents involve a
drowsy driver.
To see if night-shift workers driving home were
really “impaired” drivers,
my colleagues did another
experiment. They asked 16
night-shift workers to drive
automobiles on a special
test track. The workers
wore a cap of electrodes
that measured their brain
waves, which can detect
when someone is drowsy
or actually falling asleep.
Each worker was tested
twice: after seven hours of
quality sleep and after a
night shift.
After the night shift,
brain waves revealed the
workers were much sleepier. Near-crashes occurred
in 38 percent of the workers after the night shift —
and in none of them after a
good night’s sleep.
In tomorrow’s column,
I’ll discuss what shift workers can do to function better and protect themselves.

Should you start ordering your own blood tests?
There
was a time
when you
had to go
to a doctor’s office
for everything. If
you wantPeople’s
Pharmacy ed a pain
reliever,
you needed a prescription
for ibuprofen or naproxen. Even acetaminophen
(Tylenol) was once only
available by prescription. Those days are long
gone, and few people remember them.
The same thing was
true for tests. If you wanted to know your blood
pressure, you had to
make an appointment for
a nurse or the physician
himself to take it using
a mercury sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope.
People with diabetes
had to have their blood
sugar tested at a clinic as
well. And a woman who
wanted to know if she
might be pregnant also
would need to go to the
doctor and wait at least a
day for the results.
Everything has
changed. In the past several decades, there has
been a revolution in both
home tests and treatments.
Not only can women
get highly accurate pregnancy test results within
minutes in the privacy
of their own bathrooms,
but anyone can easily
keep track of blood sugar
or blood pressure with
digital home monitors.
Although some health
professionals resisted the
idea of patient participation in such testing, most
have come to accept the
importance of regular
monitoring.
People can even test
themselves at home for
blood in their stool that
might indicate possible
colorectal cancer. The
American Cancer Society
recommends the newer,
highly sensitive versions
of the guaiac-based fecal
occult blood test (gFOBT)
for screening. A positive
result should be brought
to the doctor’s attention.
The latest frontier in
self-care involves patientinitiated blood tests for
a range of biomarkers,
from cholesterol and vi-
tamins to hormones like
thyroid and testosterone.
In some cases, people go
to a nearby laboratory
to have blood drawn. In
other instances, a nurse
will come to the person’s
home to draw blood.
Not surprisingly, this
new development is controversial. Some doctors
worry that the results
will not make sense to
patients. Others fear patients may waste money
and challenge the physician’s interpretation of the
results.
But people who are
taking acid-suppressing
drugs that they can buy
over the counter, like
Nexium 24HR or Prilosec OTC, could run into
nutritional difficulties
after many months. The
instructions warn people
not to take them for longer than two weeks unless
directed by a doctor. Many
physicians do approve
long-term use because
this option is cheaper than
a prescription for esomeprazole or omeprazole.
If the patient is taking
such an over-the-counter
drug for months or years,
the physician might not
remember to order tests
of nutrients that can be
affected. Either vitamin
B-12 or magnesium could
become depleted.
Conscientious patients
could use one of these
independent testing
services to track their
progress. Out-of-range
results could and should
be brought to the doctor’s
attention.
We are pleased that
people now have more
access to information
about their health than
ever before. Like any tool,
these testing services will
need to be used wisely if
patients are to get worthwhile results. We are
confident that people can
learn how to make such
decisions for themselves
and consult their health
professionals for appropriate follow-up.

Hearing: $10,800 fine fought
the shelter’s co-owner,
filled buckets of water and
placed them in the dog
kennels while she was on
site Oct. 20.
When Carlson returned
for a follow-up inspection
two days later with Joe
Blomquist, the Animal
Welfare Section’s outreach
coordinator and inspections field supervisor, she
said none of the dogs had
water dishes.
“He said he would not
put water in the kennels,”
Blomquist said of FitzGerald.
Those visits eventually
resulted in a $10,800 fine
— $200 for each of the 48
dogs observed without
continuous access.
After receiving a complaint from Bette Gilpin,
another former volunteer,
Carlson again inspected
For the Love of Dogs on
Nov. 23, 2015. She noted
a repeat violation of the
rule for continuous water
access.
Dr. Patricia Norris, a
licensed veterinarian and
director of the Animal
Welfare Section, met with
Max and Della Fitz-Gerald
at their invitation on
Dec. 2, 2015, where Max
Fitz-Gerald introduced
Farris as his attorney and
disputed the inspectors’
interpretation of the word
“continuous,” Norris said
during her testimony
Tuesday.
NO APPARENT HARM
P.L. Woodard & Co.
P.L. Woodard & Co.
Volunteers who parted
ways with For the Love of
Dogs after water dishes
were removed said they
pleaded with the Fitz-Geralds to reconsider, believing the dogs were being
deprived.
“My exact words to Max
that day were, ‘This is the
type of thing we take dogs
away from people for,’”
said Chandler, who filed
the initial complaint.
The Fitz-Geralds argued
Wilson attorney Will Farris looks over paperwork with witnesses Tuesday afternoon during
an administrative hearing in a Farmville court. Brad Coville | Times
that giving the dogs access
to fresh water during three
daily outdoor “breaks”
lasting 15 minutes to an
hour or more provided adequate hydration.
Both Norris and two
veterinarians who have
practiced at For the Love
of Dogs said none of the
animals exhibited overt
signs of dehydration. Farris pressed Norris and
Carlson on the issue when
they took the stand, noting that they would have
referred the matter to law
enforcement for an animal
cruelty investigation if the
dogs had suffered obvious
harm from the practice.
“The violation is the
lack of continuous access
to water, not the medical
condition of the animals,”
Norris said in a response
to Farris during crossexamination.
Inspectors did not perform urine or blood tests
to determine whether the
dogs were dehydrated
or receiving adequate
amounts of water.
While Norris said some
dogs barked excessively
and appeared to show
signs of stress, she admitted on the stand that there
was no evidence of criminal neglect.
“I didn’t see any animals in acute distress that
would warrant animal
cruelty intervention by another agency,” she said.
Drs. Abelina Gaona and
Dale Paley, veterinarians
who have worked with For
the Love of Dogs, testified
that animals in the FitzGeralds’ care were not
suffering from thirst.
In her professional opin-
ion, Paley said the “continuous access” rule was
overly broad as applied
to For the Love of Dogs,
which spends $15,000
to $20,000 per month on
the animals’ care and has
rushed canines to veterinary specialists for expensive life-saving surgeries.
“They provide a lot
more,” Paley said. “They
go above and beyond the
average shelter, in my
opinion. This is a different
population of animals. I
can’t fight the success they
have.”
COMPLYING AND
FIGHTING
Max Fitz-Gerald said the
requirement that animals
have around-the-clock access to water was added to
the N.C. Animal Welfare
Act in 2005 in an effort
to crack down on puppy
mills and shouldn’t be
applied to his private facility. Until Carlson noted
the violation on Oct. 20,
he said he was not aware
the water rule had been
added.
Water dishes were removed, he said, to prevent
dogs from spilling the
water overnight and having to sit in damp kennels.
The standing water could
lead to mold and mildew,
Gaona said in her testimony, and Fitz-Gerald said
Plexiglas partitions were
installed to cover the dogs’
water stations in order to
prevent them from sustaining cuts on the stainless steel bars.
“My concern was we
were getting dogs hurt,”
Fitz-Gerald said. “I did not
want that to happen.”
He believes For the Love
of Dogs’ alternative —
playtime outdoors, where
buckets of fresh water
and troughs used for both
wading and drinking —
provided dogs with all the
water they could want.
Disputing the fine was
both a way to challenge
the state statute and bite
back against the implication that dogs aren’t receiving adequate care.
“It’s the principle of
the thing,” he said. “If we
were trying to harm dogs
and not care for them, we
would welcome that fine.
If it was a dollar, I would
fight it.”
Fitz-Gerald said For the
Love of Dogs is now in
compliance with state law
and providing each dog
with an individual water
dish. However, he’s committed to seeing the case
through.
Lassiter did not hand
down a ruling Tuesday
and said she would make
a decision after reviewing
the case law and briefs
filed by state regulators
and the Fitz-Geralds.
If the fine is upheld, For
the Love of Dogs can appeal the case to Wilson
County Superior Court.
Anticipating a loss in the
first round, Fitz-Gerald
said he wants to advance
the case in order to obtain
a ruling that would effectively strike down the
disputed portion of the
Animal Welfare Act.
“I expect it to be there,”
he said of Superior Court.
“I look forward to being
there.”

FAA won't intervene in Charlotte airport dispute
CHARLOTTE — The
Federal Aviation Administration has signaled
that it won't intervene in
a dispute over control of
Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.
According to The Charlotte Observer, the FAA
this month updated its
policy on disputed management changes at public
airports. The move means
Charlotte will remain in
control of the airport.
In a document published
June 6, the FAA said it
will accept management
change requests only if
there is a legal resolution
of any dispute over control.
The FAA said it published the notice in an
effort to “to clarify FAA's
legal authority and policy
regarding changes of
sponsorship at federallyobligated, publicly-owned
airports.”
City and state officials
have been involved in a
dispute over management
of the airport since 2013
when state lawmakers
passed a bill creating a
new commission to oversee the airport.
Funding threatened for cities
ignoring state immigration law
By Anna Gronewold
RALEIGH — North Carolina Republican lawmakers are attempting to rein
in local governments with
threats to deny school and
roads funding if they do
not comply with immigration laws passed last year.
A Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday approved
a bill to withhold state dollars from cities or counties
that accept identification
cards from nonprofit organizations or establish
“sanctuary policies” limiting enforcement of federal
immigration law.
“I think everybody will
agree that sometimes
it's the threat of potential for penalty or loss of
something that really gets
people's attention,” said
Sen. Norman Sanderson,
R-Pamlico, who is guiding
the bill through the Senate.
North Carolina banned
the identification cards
last year with a narrow exemption for law enforcement who said the cards
allow officers to establish
a person's identity or residency when individuals
have no other documentation.
A bill stripping that
exemption was proposed
earlier this month despite
objections from the North
Carolina Sheriffs Association.
Republican Rep. George
Cleveland of Onslow
County, who has led the
charge on tougher immigration policies, said what
was meant to be a rare
circumstance has instead
become the norm as local nonprofits continue to
host ID drives encouraging people to obtain the
cards.
On Tuesday a new version of the bill knocking
down the exemption,
fortified with financial
penalties for entities that
do not comply with any
of the state's immigration
laws, was added to an
unrelated bill on jury duty.
The bill would craft a form
for people to report to the
attorney general a city,
county or law enforcement agency they believe
is out of compliance with
immigration policies, including the state's ban on
sanctuary city policies.
Sanderson said the aim
is to put an immediate halt
to the cards' production
and force cities to consult
state officials about local
immigration policies.
“I'm just as compassionate as anyone else about
why these folks want to
come to North Carolina,
why they find North Carolina attractive,” Sanderson
said. “But we still have to
maintain some control.
That's the whole thrust of
this.”
Scott Mooneyham, director of public affairs for
the N.C. League of Municipalities, said there have
been no examples of cities that have fallen out of
compliance with the law.
Mooneyham said tying infrastructure and education
funding to a completely
unrelated law “appears to
be unprecedented” and
would “penalize local taxpayers in ways that have
nothing to do with the issue.”
Sanderson said that if
an entity is found noncompliant, funding for
the following year will be
withheld and dispersed to
other recipients, creating
an accountability system
among the entities.
The ID program was
created more than three
years ago by Greensboro
advocacy organization
FaithAction International
House.
The Rev. David Fraccaro
of FaithAction said immigrants with no lawful status are often afraid to call
the police when crimes
occur. They fear they will
be arrested instead of the
criminals, just because
they lack the proper ID.
FaithAction hosts ID
drives at churches and
schools to promote positive interactions with law
enforcement.
Fraccaro said he is concerned about the ways the
legislation is evolving in
the GOP-dominated General Assembly.
“There's a reason
they're trying to ram these
through with no transparency or time for debate or
people to educate themselves,” Fraccaro said.
“I think it's because they
know there's a significant
amount of support from
law enforcement, from
faith leaders, from mayor's
offices and cities in other
parts of the country who
all recognize that this
program creates safer
and more inclusive united
communities. And I think
they're panicking because
they're afraid, probably on
a personal level, of demographic shifts happening
in our community.”
According to the National Conference of State
Legislatures, Congress
has introduced similar
legislation that would terminate federal funding for
states and localities that
restrict communication
with the Immigration and
Naturalization Service or
other government entity
regarding an individual's
citizenship or immigration
status.
North Carolina was one
of the first states to prohibit sanctuary policies
last year. At least 18 states
considered legislation in
2016 prohibiting sanctuary policies or noncompliance with immigration
detainers.
The NCSL could not
immediately provide information about specific penalties states have created if
local governments violate
state immigration laws.
The bill now heads to
a Senate Appropriations
committee.
Newton-sponsored bill to ban sex offenders
from places for minors moves ahead
RALEIGH — North Carolina lawmakers are moving
forward with a bill prohibiting some sex offenders
from being near children
while a similar state law
from 2009 remains under
federal review.
A Senate Judiciary committee approved a bill
Tuesday by Wilson Republican Sen. Buck Newton
to ban sex offenders who
have been identified as
threats to children from
places like arcades, parks
and swimming pools.
The committee added
language to include libraries and the State
Fairgrounds during the
fair. The law If the law is
approved, it would take effect in September.
The state's 2009 law banning sex offenders from
places children gather was
ruled unconstitutionally
broad by a federal court
in April. The state has appealed the ruling.
Newton says the state
would maintain the 2009
law if the appeal is successful.
Boeing says it signs historic
sales agreement with Iran Air
DUBAI, United Arab
Emirates — Boeing Co.
said Tuesday it signed an
agreement with Iran Air
“expressing the airline's intent” to buy its aircraft, setting up the biggest business
deal between the Islamic
Republic and America
since the 1979 U.S. Embassy takeover in Tehran — if
it goes through.
Already, one Iranian official has said the deal could
involve 100 aircraft while
another has suggested
Iranian airlines may purchase airplanes worth
$25 billion from Chicagobased Boeing, welcome
news to workers on its
massive assembly plants
around Seattle.
However, the longstanding enmity between
the U.S. and Iran, as well
as other sanctions and
even presidential politics
still could complicate any
agreement — even after
last year's nuclear deal.
And even if the agreement
is finalized, aircraft orders
are often announced at list
prices, meaning the actual
price tag would likely be
lower as airlines typically
get steep discounts.
Boeing issued a statement to The Associated
Press saying that it signed
the Iran Air agreement “under authorizations from the
U.S. government following
a determination that Iran
had met its obligations
under the nuclear accord
reached last summer.”
“Boeing will continue to
follow the lead of the U.S.
government with regards
to working with Iran's
airlines, and any and all
contracts with Iran's airlines will be contingent
upon U.S. government approval,” it said.
Boeing's statement offered no further details.
Fakher Daghestani, a
Dubai-based spokesman
for the manufacturer, declined to elaborate.
Iran Air, the country's
national carrier, said Monday it wanted to buy new
Boeing 737s and 777s. The
737s are single aisle jets,
typically used for flights of
up to five hours. The 777
is a larger plane that can
carry passengers for 12
hours or more.

Is LeBron
the GOAT?

Twelve-year-old Herring earns
spot in North Carolina Junior
Championship match play
By Tom Ham
Senior Staff Writer
Jake Herring approached the No. 1 tee
Tuesday morning at Wilson Country Club.
Then, his name was
announced as the next to
hit his first tee shot in the
Carolinas Golf Association’s 49th North Carolina
Junior Championship.
Reality hit.
He stepped upon the
tee as, at age 12, the
youngest participant in
a 134-player field. His
opponents ranged in age
from 13 to 18. The venue,
Wilson Country Club,
was familiar and, yes, he
played it from the back
tees a couple of times.
But a course 6,774 yards
in length still represented
the longest of his career
in official competition.
The circumstances were
enough to overwhelm.
But, pardon the pun, the
occasion was simply par
for the course for Her-
ring, who has competed
in tournaments since age
6 and considered the N.C.
Junior comparative in
stature to the three U.S.
Kids Golf World Championships in which he competed each of the three
previous year.
Capably assisted by
caddy Joshua Allen, a
rising sophomore on the
Wofford College men’s
golf team, Herring, with
remarkable poise, methodically negotiated the
par 36-36—72 WCC layout with 15 pars and three
bogeys. The steady round
of 3-over-par 75 tied Herring for 40th place and,
most important, qualified
him for the 64-player
match-play segment that
began Wednesday morning.
Adult observers considered the 12-year-old’s accomplishment just short
of incredible. He’s not

play, but only a few have
preceded him.
“It’s a big feat,” assured
Allen, “but for him, it’s
not anything he’s not ca-
pable of.”
Admitted Herring: “I
was nervous on the No. 1
tee. But after I hit my tee
shot ... I hit it right down
the middle, I was fine.”

Post 13 past Kinston

Division triumph against
Kinston in Fleming Stadium on Tuesday night.
Post 13 improved to 6-3

Sticking around
Gymnasts Douglas, Raisman back for US
By Will Graves
AP Sports Writer
The double standard didn't
hit Aly Raisman fully until she
found herself talking to New
England Patriots quarterback
Tom Brady. You know, as one
does.
The three-time Olympic medalist, all of 22, was trying to
explain to Brady the long odds
she faced of making it to Rio
de Janeiro this summer for the
2016 Games. Brady, a four-time
Super Bowl winner still going
strong in his late 30s, just didn't
get it.
“I was like, 'I'm too old,'” Raisman said. “Tom said, 'No. you're
not.' And it's like, when quarterbacks win the Super Bowl, they
don't ask them if they're done.'”
Maybe because American
gymnasts on the other side of
their 20th birthday usually are.
Since Martha Karolyi took
over as national team coordinator in 2001, the window for
the top American women to
compete at the highest level has
been limited to a gymnastics
version of “one and done.” No
U.S. female gymnast who made
her Olympic debut under Karolyi's guidance has come back
to do it again four years later.
That's due to a variety of factors, from health concerns to
a seemingly endless stream of
fresh faces.
Karolyi's job is to win gold
medals, preferably lots of them.
And while the U.S. is so deep
Gabby Douglas, performing on the uneven bars during the World Artistic
Gymnastics championships at the SSE Hydro Arena in Glasgow, Scotland,

that any five-woman combination of the top Americans would
be favored to stand on top of
the podium during the Olympic
team final, Karolyi won't be satisfied getting there by a point
or two. She wants to leave no
doubt.
Yet Raisman and defending
Olympic all-around champion
Gabby Douglas — closing in
on her 21st birthday — are still
here. Press them on why and
usually the response is some
variation of “why not?”
“I've got the rest of my life to
just chill back and lay back,”
Douglas said.
The debate raging for
the past
two days
over the
airwaves
and the
internet
has been
about
LeBron
James’ legacy.
Certainly his performance in leading the
Cleveland Cavaliers to
their first NBA championship after trailing the
defending champion
Golden State Warriors
three games to one in the
best-of-seven Finals is one
of the greatest in NBA history. While there may still
be some mouth-breathing
doubters that James is
(and has been for the past
seven or eight years) the
best player in the NBA
today, the real debate
swirls around whether
“King James” is the greatest player of all time, or
GOAT, as the kids today
say.
And my answer, which is
the correct answer to that
question, is — not yet.
Before I go into that,
let’s dispel the notion
there is another player
right now in the NBA who
can challenge LeBron’s
supremacy. The only one
who had a claim went
by the wayside. Stephen
Curry, the two-time reigning and first unanimous
MVP, didn’t live up to that
mantle in the championship series, averaging 22.6
points per game, nearly
eight less than his regularseason average.
But even with, by his
standards, a sub-par
showing in the Finals,
Curry could have turned
all that around had he hit
a couple of those 3-point
attempts in the final minutes of Game 7. Of course,
points came at a premium
in that last 4:39 with Kyrie
Irving’s 3-pointer being
the only field goal during
that stretch.
The play of the game,
of the series and, perhaps
of his career, was James’
block of Andre Iguadola’s
layup attempt on a Warriors fast break with just
under two minutes left in a
tie game. In a breakdown
of the play, ESPN determined that James raced
60 feet in less than three
seconds to pin Iguadola’s
potential go-ahead shot on
the backboard.
Forget the twin 40-point
games James had or his
triple double in Game 7.
That block was the very
essence of the player who
is unequivocally the best
basketball player on the
planet today. It was all
heart and physical talent
and it probably won the
title for the Cavaliers.
I found it interesting
that James, who has been
one of the most polarizing
superstars in recent memory, took to Instagram on
Monday to chastise his
so-called doubters. Maybe
dwelling on the fact that
there are people out there,
however misguided they
are, that don’t consider
him the best player in the
game right now is what
motivates him.
Now there should be no

Abrams, Matthews reach match play

DAVIS TV
The six birdies by Wilson’s Stephen Abrams
in Tuesday’s stroke-play
opening round of the 49th
North Carolina Junior
Boys Championship golf
tournament were exceeded only by the seven
carded by Salisbury’s Michael Childress, who lost
in a playoff for the medalist distinction.
Childress sizzled the par
36-36—72, 6,774-yard Wilson Country Club layout
with a round of 5-underpar 67 that deadlocked
him with medalist Tripp
Summerlin of Summerfield. Summerlin, with four
birdies and an eagle, fired
a 33-34, while Childress
posted a 34-33.
Abrams, in his debut in

his final year of eligibility,
wound up with a 36-38—74
that tied him for 27th place
in the 134-player field and,
most important, earned
him a berth in the 64-player match-play segment
that began Wednesday
morning.
Six Wilson golfers received exemptions and
three qualified for match
play. Abrams, a recent Beddingfield High graduate,
was joined by 12-year-old
Jake Herring with a 75 and
Candler Matthews, a rising
senior at Fike, with a 76. A
score of 76 was the cutoff
for advancing to Day 2.
Rising Fike senior
Bryson Boyette, who exited in the opening round
of match play last summer,
was denied by a shot with
a 78. Twins Jake and Luke
Taylor, recent Greenfield
School graduates, failed to
survive stroke play. Jake
Taylor shot a 40-43—83,
while Luke Taylor managed a 42-43—85.
When fortunes didn’t improve his final nine, Jake
Taylor mused: “I think
it’s time to start focusing
on the (American Legion
baseball) game tonight.”
Ten golfers posted
under-par rounds. Avery
Price of Gastonia trailed
Summerlin and Childress
with a 69. Alex Goff of
Kings Mountain and Zach
Caudill of Wilkesboro each
fashioned a 70.
Summerlin, headed
to Applalachian State,
emerged the medalist
when he birdied the first
hole (No. 10) of a playoff.
“It means a lot,” Summerlin assured. “I finally
got a CGA trophy; I will go
home with a piece of CGA
hardware.
“I played solid the whole
time. I hit one bad shot. I
only missed two greens
and that made it easy.”
Summerlin eagled the
par-5, No. 12 layout and
birdied Nos. 1, 2, 4 and 7.
His only bogey was at No.
8.
Childress birdied Nos.
1, 5, 9, 12, 14, 16 and 18.
Bogeys occurred at Nos. 2
and 17.
“I lost to a birdie,” Childress reasoned with a
shrug. “I played really well.
I gave myself so many
chances. I didn’t hit a driver because, with how good
the greens were, I figured
the chances would come. I
putted really well; it came
down to that. Going into
(Wednesday), I feel really
confident.”
Abrams, who tied for
third in the North Carolina
High School Athletic Association 2-A Championship,
birdied Nos. 2, 4, 7, 9, 10
and 16. However, he fretted over playing the four
par-3 layouts at 5-over.
“It was the weirdest
round I’ve ever played,” he
described. “From hole-tohole, I was hitting different
shots. I scrambled my butt
off. I didn’t feel comfortable with my irons. I was
hitting them crazy, really
off-line.
“I wanted to shoot under
par and be a higher seed.
But it didn’t happen. It was
less competitive today. You
just had to shoot a number
and get to tomorrow. Then,
anything can happen.”
Matthews’ 38-38—76
included a birdie at No. 15
and bogeys at Nos. 5, 6, 16
and 17.
“That would be awesome,” he said of the possibility of advancing into
match play. “I am hitting the
ball really, really good. I am
getting into a scoring mentality, but I’ve got to make
more 10- and 15-foot putts.”
Matthews contended a
couple of putts could have
easily dropped, but admitted: “I made putts I normally wouldn’t have and
couldn’t complain.”
Boyette complained he
“couldn’t get anything going.” Then, after a wait of
several hours, he learned
his 77 was one stroke
too many to come back
Wednesday.

started on the back nine
and posted eight pars and
a bogey on the par-3, No.
17 layout. The front nine
produced seven pars and
bogeys at Nos. 2 and 9
— where he missed a par
putt of less than 2 feet.
“I am very proud of myself,” Herring matter-offactly expressed. “My first
goal was to get into match
play and, now, I want to go
as far as I can.
“I could have made that
putt on the last hole — and
I should have. But it is
what it is. I’m hitting the
ball like I wanted to; I was
striking it well.”
Herring and his caddy
agreed sinking a comeback par putt of some
12 feet on the par-3, No.
6 green surfaced as the
turning point in the round.
Herring remained at
2-over-par.
“It kind of frees you up,”
Allen reasoned, “and gives
you a little wiggle room.
He hit a lot of great shots
and had one bad break.
He handled it very well,
moved on and did what he
had to do.”
Herring endorsed the
possibiity he might draw
an opponent ranging in
age from 16 to 18 in the
opening round of match
play. He contends he
would own the psychological advantage.
“He will be worried
about what will happen if
he loses to a 12-year-old,”
Herring commented with
a grin. “And I am going
to be trying to beat somebody older than I am. I
think I would have extra
momentum.”
Instead, Herring will oppose 13-year-old Ike Joy, a
member of his threesome
in Tuesday’s round. Joy
— who hails from Denver,
near Lake Norman — impressed with a 72.
Regardless of the foe’s
age, Allen is confident
Herring “stands a chance.”
“They should be wary
of him,” Allen warned.
“There are a lot of good
players here — and he’s
one of them.”

Dylan Radford earned his
third win without a loss.
Radford retired 10 consecutive Kinston hitters
until yielding a two-out

Kinston got an RBI triple
from Jacob Baird in the fifth
and an unearned run in the
sixth — when Radford was

Kinston started the seventh with Braxton Greene
connecting for an insidethe-park homer.
Brickhouse then settled
to earn his first save. He
was aided by a defense that

seventh and by a diving
catch from left fielder Phillips to begin the 8th.
Kinston wound up
with 10 hits, including

No. 3 pick: Bradley Beal, Washington
Recap: The former Florida guard

Team; battled injuries last season,
had problems with his shoulder,
lower right leg and a sprained

AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK — Last
season was the year of the
senior in college basketball.
Thursday's NBA draft is not.
LSU freshman Ben Simmons and Duke's Brandon
Ingram are expected to
be the top picks this year,
continuing the league's tendency to go with youthful
potential over NCAA experience.
The numbers for the oneand-done picks are impressive.
Four one-and-done players — Kyrie Irving, Kevin
Love, Tristan Thompson
and Cory Joseph — have
captured NBA titles. The
Cleveland Cavaliers' trio of
Irving, Love and Thompson
just won the NBA crown
on Sunday; Joseph, who
played one year at Texas
before being drafted 29th
overall by San Antonio in
2011, was a member of the
Spurs championship team
in 2014.
Since the one-and-done
rule was enacted in 2006, 83
freshmen have been drafted, 11 have been named
All-Stars, and six have been
named rookie of the year.
Eight freshmen have
gone No. 1 overall pick
since 2007, and since 2006,
23 have been chosen in the
top five. The only year a
freshman did not go No. 1
since the rule was enacted
was 2009 — Blake Griffin
was the top pick that year
after his sophomore season
at Oklahoma.
How top freshmen

No. 5 pick: De'Marcus Cousins,
Sacramento
Recap: Another Kentucky standout, has career average of 20.2
ppg, 10.8 rpg, 1.2 bpg; All-Rookie
first team, two-time NBA All-Star,
two-time NBA second team (2015,
2016). After averaging 14 points
his rookie season, Cousins has averaged 22 or more points since the
2013-14 season with the Kings.
2009 DRAFT
No. 4 pick: Tyreke Evans
16.7 ppg, 4.9 rpg, 5.3 apg; former
Memphis guard named rookie of
the year. All-Rookie first team,
Rookie Challenge co-MVP. After
averaging 20.1 points in his rookie
campaign with the Kings, Evans
hasn't averaged 20 or more points
LeBron: Still far behind
Russell, Jordan in titles won
doubt. However, there have
been rumblings that LeBron
James is the greatest player
ever and that debate will
continue well after he has
played his last game.
But here’s the thing —
that’s when we should be
having this debate. He’s just
past the assumed midpoint
of his career. Judging him
against the likes of Bill Russell or Michael Jordan right
now not only wouldn’t be
fair, it wouldn’t be accurate.
Sure, there are graphs circulating on the internet now
showing what Jordan and
James have accomplished
by age 31 but that doesn’t
take into consideration
that James has played four
more seasons in the NBA.
It also doesn’t factor in that
Jordan walked away from
the game at the height of his
career to play minor league
baseball for nearly two
years — then came back
and won three more NBA
titles.
I’ve always considered
the number of championships a player’s team has
won as one of the best
Hall of Famer Bill Russell,
left, greets Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James
after Game 7 of the NBA
Finals on Sunday in Oakland,
Calif. AP
indicators of his greatness.
Thus, Russell and the 11
that his Boston Celtics
teams won from 1957 to
1969 would place him high
on my list. However, the
NBA was a much different
league — proportionally,
geographically and racially
— during Russell’s era than
during Jordan’s or today.
Jordan’s Bulls won six
titles in eight seasons, never
losing in the NBA Finals,
and James has won three
championships — two with
the Miami Heat and one
with the Cavaliers — while
being on four teams that
lost in the championship
series.
If he plays another five
years — and that’s a conservative estimate since James
has been virtually injury
free for most of his career,
which is another sign of
greatness — he stands a
good chance of matching
Jordan’s six rings.
Ultimately, the debate of
who is the greatest player
ever in any sport is one that
will never be truly settled
and it shouldn’t be. Having
these types of discussions
is what stirs our passion
as sports fans, but the only
way to lean towards any
objectivity in the matter is to
wait and see what else LeBron has in store for us.
Until then, let’s all enjoy
watching LeBron James
while we can. Before we
know it, he’ll be collecting
retirement and there will
be another great player,
one who is probably in preschool right now, fueling
the debate over who is the
greatest of all time.

Fuller picture emerges of
man arrested at Trump rally
By Michelle Rindels
Medical Eye

Dr. Shawn Putman
Dr. Milan Genge
LAS VEGAS — A British man accused of telling
authorities that he wanted
to kill Donald Trump at a
rally was unemployed, living out of his car and had
been treated in the past
for obsessive compulsive
disorder and anorexia, authorities and others say.
Court statements and
accounts Tuesday from a
family friend in England
offered a complex picture
of 20-year-old suspect
Michael Steven Sandford,
who was arrested Saturday in a Las Vegas casino
where the Republican
candidate was speaking.
People who knew Sandford told The Associated
Press he was intelligent
and said signs of his
Asperger's syndrome became more obvious as he
got older.
“I just didn't imagine
that he would do what
he was doing,” said Julie
Debnam, 59, whose son
attended primary school
with Sandford and often
spent time with him. “I
still think he has a lot of
low esteem. He needs
help rather than going to
prison, basically.”
A woman who answered
the door at an address listed for Sandford's father,
in a working class section of Havant, England,
declined to give her name
and told journalists to go
back to their own country.
The British newspaper
Portsmouth News said
Sandford's father, Paul
Davey, described his son
as polite and peaceful and
called the arrest an “absolute shock.”
“Whether he's been
blackmailed or put up to
it, that's the only thing me
and his mum can think
of,” Davey said, according to the newspaper. “It's
so against his nature and
obviously with his Asperger's, we think somebody
Police remove Michael Steven Sandford as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump
speaks at the Treasure Island hotel and casino in Las Vegas. Sandford, a British man accused
of trying to take a police officer’s gun and kill Donald Trump during a weekend rally in Las
Vegas, will not be released on bail. Federal Magistrate Judge George Foley said at a hearing
Monday that Sandford was a potential danger to the community and a flight risk. AP
has got hold of him and
done something.”
U.S. Secret Service
agents say Sandford approached an officer at the
Trump campaign stop last
weekend to say he wanted
Trump's autograph then
tried to take the officer's
gun.
In an interview, Sandford told agents that he
wanted to shoot Trump
and was prepared to die
at the hands of police in
the assassination attempt,
according to the criminal
complaint.
Sandford was charged
with an act of violence on
restricted grounds and
was assigned a courtappointed attorney.
He has not yet entered a
plea and was denied bail
after a judge said he was
a flight risk and posed a
threat to the community.
“There may be some issues regarding the mental
health of the defendant,”
U.S. Magistrate Judge
George Foley Jr. said during a court hearing Monday, while the thin, shackled Sandford appeared to
tremble in his seat nearby.
Sandford has not recently been diagnosed
with mental illness but
had been treated for anorexia and obsessive compulsive disorder when he
was younger, according
to background information that court officials
gathered and discussed in
court.
Public defender Heather
Fraley said Sandford previously attempted suicide
and once ran away from a
hospital in England. Still,
she believes he's competent
to stand trial.
Court research shows
Sandford didn't have a job
and received financial support from his mother after
coming to the U.S. last year.
Davey told the Portsmouth News that his son
had moved to New Jersey
a year and a half ago to be
with a girlfriend.
Officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement say he stayed
about nine months longer than he was allowed
through the Visa Waiver
program, and they've
lodged a detainer against
him so they can take action
on the immigration violation before he's released.
Sandford told Secret
Service agents that he
drove his 2007 BMW from
the San Bernardino, California, area to Las Vegas
on June 16. The next day,
he went to a shooting
range and fired 20 rounds
from a 9mm Glock pistol
to learn how to use it, according to the complaint.
Sandford said he had
been planning to kill
Trump for about a year
but finally felt confident
about trying it, the complaint states.

By Jill Colvin
“I said: Well you can
pray for your leaders, and
I agree with that, pray for
everyone. But what you really have to do is you have
to pray to get everybody
out to vote for one specific
person,” he said. “And we
can't be again politically
correct and say we pray for
all of our leaders because
all of your leaders are selling Christianity down the
tubes, selling evangelicals
down the tubes.”
Trump has sometimes
struggled to discuss religious issues. He has
declined to cite his favorite biblical verse and
has toted around a photo
from his confirmation as
evidence of his Christian
upbringing.
But in another video
clip from Tuesday's event,
Trump talked about the
meaning of faith in his life.
“Christianity, I owe so
much to it in so many
ways, through life,
through having incredible
children, through so many
other things,” he said, noting his great support from
religious voters in GOP
primaries.
“The evangelical vote
was mostly gotten by me,”
he said.
Trump also talked in another clip about the lack of
“spirit” in inner cities.
“We've got to spiritize
this country. And I'm not
only talking about the
inner cities. I'm talking
about everywhere,” he
said, coining a new word.
Trump's campaign on
Tuesday also announced
the formation of a new
“Evangelical Executive
Advisory Board” that will
advise the candidate “on
those issues important to
Evangelicals and other
people of faith in America,” according to a release.
Members of the new
group include former Minnesota Congresswoman
Michele Bachmann, Liberty University President
Jerry Falwell Jr. and Faith
and Freedom Coalition
leader Ralph Reed.
Jackson, the bishop who
posted video to Twitter,
said that he'd walked into
the meeting as more of
an anti-Clinton voter than
pro-Trump one, but said
the meeting had changed
his view.
“The thing I've heard
most people say is, 'He
moved the needle,'” he
said. “People who came
in with reservations, they
have fewer reservations.
Others left thinking, 'Maybe I need to take a look at
him again.'”

stands. It’s better to be safe than
sorry when dealing with sensitive
issues. Promises are likely to be
broken. 3 stars
