Candidate for sheriff Shalag ramping up in Granville in Granville By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

Oxford policeman throws hat in ring By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

OXFORD — Police Lt. Floyd Griffin is a candidate for Granville County sheriff. Griffin, 51, a Democrat, has been with the police department for more than 22 years. Griffin will face incumbent Brin Wilkins, Griffin 49, also a Democrat, in the May 4 primary. Griffin, when asked by the newspaper why he decided to run for sheriff, said that, “I’ve been thinking about it a good little while” and that he made the decision in August. Griffin said he believes that the sheriff’s department “needs a little more leadership” and that “I’m a qualified candidate to move the department forward.” Griffin said in prepared remarks that, if elected, he will incorporate an open policy administration with management by objectives and a high level of ethics. Griffin said he believes that, in the long term, given the space needs at the police department and at the sheriff’s department, consideration should be given to looking at constructing a public safety building to house both departments.

OXFORD — Representatives of Shalag Industries will be in Oxford next week to begin transitioning the company’s future Granville County location to a manufacturing plant, County Economic Development Director Jay Tilley said. The Israeli-based Shalag hopes to be operational by early summer, Tilley said. “That’s a very aggressive timetable, but these are very aggressive people and I

suspect they’ll do it,” Tilley said. Tilley gave the update Tuesday evening as part of his quarterly report to Oxford Mayor Al Woodlief and the City Commission. Gov. Beverly Perdue on Oct. 12 announced Shalag’s intention to open a first-ever U.S. plant at 917 Oxford Loop Road S.E., which is just east of the Oxford city limits and near the Interstate 85/U.S. 158 interchange. The Granville County location was the warehousing portion of the adjacent former Lenox China plant. More recently, Santa Fe

Natural Tobacco Co. had been using the building to store tobacco. The Shalag plant will employ 42 persons. Shalag is a supTilley plier of non-woven fabrics in the hygiene and sanitary wipes markets. The fabric is used in the production of dry and wet wipes, diapers and personal hygiene products. In Granville County, the fibers will be thermo-bonded into non-woven fabric. Mayor Pro Tem Howard Herring asked Tilley when he

believed the community should know the kinds of employment credentials required to work for Shalag. Tilley said Shalag representatives will be meeting with Monica Satterwhite, who directs the local Employment Security Commission Office, and probably will be meeting with a couple of contract employer representatives. Tilley said information should be available after Tuesday. Tilley said Shalag representatives will be meeting with VanceGranville Community College to begin the process of setting up training opportunities. Please see SHALAG, page 5A

Michael Stevenson, VGCC music instructor and MLK Choir director, plays his saxophone Wednesday morning while the choir performs during the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Celebration at the college. A listing of other King Day events will appear in The Daily Dispatch on Friday.

Student ‘greatly encouraged’ by late civil rights leader By AL WHELESS Daily Dispatch Writer

Four competitors in a speech contest told a holiday-celebrating audience at Vance-Granville Community College Wednesday “What The Legacy Of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Means To Me.” About 250 people packed an auditorium in the Civic Center to hear the winner, Shirlecia Hunt, say: “Dr. King’s determination, wisdom, courage and strength to do the impossible have greatly encouraged me.” Hunt, one of three contestants enrolled in the High School-Early College on the Warren Campus of VGCC, said King’s qualities have “taught me to always go for my dreams, no matter how big.” His legacy, Hunt added, “has taught me to look at people for

what’s on the inside and not on the out.” She said King’s words — “Faith can give us courage to face the uncertainties of the future” — Hunt stick with her each and every day. ONLINE “When I think Shirlecia Hunt’s that I am unable MLK speech to do something, I will face my fears with courage,” Hunt said. “I will always remember the greatness of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and how he has impacted my life, Cooper and yours.” For her effort, Hunt won $100. Michael-Jamal Cooper received $75 for second place. Third place

went to Bryon Hoadley, who won $50. Like Hunt, both are sophomores at the High School-Early College on the Warren campus. Calvin Boyd, a student in the Electrical/Electronics Technology Program on the main VGCC campus, received $50 for fourth place. The holiday celebration event in the Civic Center was sponsored by VGCC’s Global Awareness Committee. The judges for the speech contest were: • Leo Kelly, a retired dean of Adult Basic Education at VanceGranville. • Kelly Hundley, a Workforce Program monitor with the KerrTar Council of Governments. • Reverend Phillip Betts, who Please see KING, page 3A

Oxford man unhurt in Haiti earthquake Former police officer, Durham deputy now a police adviser By NEIL OFFEN The (Durham) Herald-Sun

OXFORD — A former longtime deputy with the Durham County Sheriff’s Office working in Haiti was unhurt in Tuesday’s devastating earthquake. The ex-deputy, William Black of Oxford, quickly jumped into relief mode, aiding the injured. “I am OK. I am not hurt and the phones and Internet have been down,” wrote Black in an e-mail to The Herald-Sun at 12:16 p.m. Wednesday. Black, also a former member of the Oxford Police Department who

has been working since February with the U.N. Mission to Stabilize Haiti, wrote that “I treated about 60 people where I lived with five different med kits and finally ran out at 1 a.m.” on Wednesday. He said he spent the rest of the night in the road in front of the hotel where he stayed. “Now I am stationed at the U.N. Log Base,” Black wrote. “We have a large host of international police and local Haitians” there. Black worked as a deputy with the sheriff’s office from 1986-1999 and again from 2002-2004. He worked with the Oxford Police

Department from 2000-2001. In Haiti, he is a police adviser at the Haitian National Police Academy, mentoring and teaching practical democratic policing skills to Haitian police and training Haitian police assigned to the Emergency Medical Corp in basic first aid and life-saving skills, among other duties, according to Black’s Web site, www.visualcv. com/wblack9071. Black has previously worked as a police adviser to U.N. missions in Kosovo, Bosnia and Sudan, as well as with U.S. State Department anti-narcotics units in Baghdad from 2004-06.

OXFORD — The City Commission voted 6-1 to tax cyber sweepstakes machines in Oxford. The commission majority’s action came Tuesday evening after a dissent by a local businesswoman, Joetta Harb. She called the new annual $500 privilege license requirement per machine “ridiculous.” Harb “It don’t make any sense, Mr. Utility rates (Mayor Al )Woodincreased, lief. It really, rePage 5A ally don’t. It don’t,” Harb said. Harb called the $500 a “fine,” prompting Woodlief to correct her. “I hate it, but what can I do about it?” Harb, 48, said after the vote. “Oxford has nothing right now” compared to surrounding counties, including Vance, Harb said, noting the lack of a movie theater Please see OXFORD, page 4A

KING, from page one is the pastor of Cornerstone Christian Community Church in Oxford. When it came his turn to stand behind the podium, Cooper said King, a person born as an average AfricanAmerican child during one of the most dangerous times in American history, “grew up to change the world.” The legacy that King left behind “has made this world a better place,” Cooper said. “His legacy means different things to everyone, but to me, it gives me freedom, power and pride.” Hoadley, in his talk, told the audience he hopes that in his lifetime, he will be able to live in a country that is completely free of racial discrimination and prejudice. He also wants, one day, to be able to “proudly

proclaim that Dr. King’s dream has come true, and that this country has risen up and we are all living out the true meaning of our creed — ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’” Boyd said the lessons King taught — of non violence, peaceful demonstrations and protest against injustices — continue. “Dr. King’s effort has blossomed into more than civil rights,” Boyd said. Every citizen should be included in mainstream America, he added. “Now I see a new dream that blacks, whites, reds, yellows, physically impaired join hands, singing a new song: ‘Included at last. Included at last. Thank God Almighty, I’m included at last.’”

During the program, the songs sung by the MLK Choir and played by the Vanguard Combo included “Lift Every Voice and Sing” and “We Shall Overcome.” The conductor, who also blew a mean sax, was Michael Stevenson, instructor of music at VGCC. Bobby Van Brunt, chairman of the Global Awareness Committee, called King “a martyr” who changed lives and hearts. Vance-Granville President Randy Parker, who sang in the choir, made a few comments near the end of the program. He told the audience that they have to protect their dreams. Parker said everyone needs to overcome the obstacles that appear in their lives by “going

around them or over them.” The Mistress of Ceremony was Jasmine Hightower, director of Student Activities and Athletics. The chairperson for the MLK Celebration was Sylvia Jones, director of the Workforce Investment Act Program at the community college. The invocation was given by Minister Angela King-Blow, Human Resources Development instructor. Contact the writer at awheless@hendersondispatch.com.

OXFORD, from page one in Granville County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When are we going to grow in anything? When?â&#x20AC;? Harb said. Harb said she plans to open a Net-based sweepstakes business in February with 15 machines at 131 Main St., which was the law office of Ernestine Joyner. Harb said she believes cyber sweepstakes are the same as playing slot machines. And Harb, when asked whether she believes gambling should be legal in Oxford and throughout the rest of the state, replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gambling should be legal anywhere you want it to be legal at.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference between that and going to buy tickets?â&#x20AC;? Harb said, referring to North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lottery to help fund public education. Woodlief at the Jan. 4 commission agenda meeting recommended the $500 tax and referred the matter to the Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Finance Committee, which is chaired by Danny Currin. The committee at a Jan. 7 meeting agreed on the amount, with two commissioners who are not on the Finance Committee, Ron Bullock and Walter Cantley, also in attendance. Currin at Tuesday eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commission meeting said City Manager Mark Donham will make arrangements to monitor the cyber sweepstakes businesses and will set a policy for the businesses to report any new machines. Commissioner Calvin â&#x20AC;&#x153;C.J.â&#x20AC;? Harris Jr. cast the

lone vote against the $500 tax. Harris afterward declined comment when asked why he voted no. The mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation was both in response to the increasing presence of cyber sweepstakes businesses and the presence of cyber sweepstakes machines at a convenience store. The one location that caught the attention of Oxford officials was the Internet cafe that opened next to the entrance to the Hilltop Village shopping center off Business U.S. 158/Williamsboro Street. City Accounting Technician Phyllis Blackwell told the Finance Committee that, in addition to the Internet cafe, at least two other locations in Oxford offer a person the chance to play cyber sweepstakes games. They are the Great Stops convenience store at the Interstate 85/N.C. 96 interchange and a cyber sweepstakes business in Oxford Plaza across from Great Stops. Additionally, an Internet cafe is coming soon to the opposite side of the I85/N.C. 96 interchange in the building of what was the Alan Vester automobile dealership and what more recently was I-85 Auto Center. Blackwell said she has received three telephone calls Jan. 6 and two phone calls Jan. 7 from persons interested in the cyber sweepstakes businesses in Oxford. Woodlief has said the way the machines work is a person purchases credit

for telephone minutes and, rather than adding phone time, can play a cyber sweepstakes game, with cash winnings paid by the attendant on duty at the business. State Attorney General Roy Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokeswoman Noelle Talley has said there are several court orders in place temporarily allowing video gaming sweepstakes with cash payouts. The western North Carolina city of Hendersonville approved an annual fee of $2,600 on businesses with on-line sweepstakes machines within that cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boundaries. The town of Franklin, also in the western part of the state, approved a similar regulation. Donham, when asked by Bullock at the Jan. 7 Finance Committee meeting about the logic behind the $500 amount, said the problem for Hendersonvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government is that the cyber sweepstakes businesses, after making large profits from the machines, began purchasing even more of them. Donham said the thinking is Oxfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government is not trying to promote cyber sweepstakes, but is instead trying to keep cyber sweepstakes smaller by taxing per machine. Blackwell told the committee that most of the businesses with cyber sweepstakes machines in Oxford are paying between $50-$100 for a privilege license.

Oxford utility rate increase to minimize revenue losses By WILLIAM F. WEST Daily Dispatch Writer

OXFORD — The city’s sewer and water rates will increase July 1 as a result of a 5-2 City Commission vote. A study showed Oxford must minimize revenue losses while maintaining quality services. Commission Public Works Committee Chairman Walter Cantley at Tuesday evening’s commission meeting made the recommendation, which is based on a document prepared by Raftelis Financial Consultants of Charlotte at a cost of $27,081. Commissioners Calvin “C.J.” Harris Jr. and Jackie Sergent cast the dissenting votes. For a five-year period, the increase in the charge for sewer service will be 17 percent for each of the first two years. The will be no increase for the following three years. For a five-year period, the increase in the charge for water usage will be 5 percent each of the first two years and 4 percent each of the following three years. Cantley has said that, for the past three fiscal years, water sales have gone down 115.1 million gallons, with a resulting decline of $472,000 in revenue. And Cantley has said that, for the past three fiscal years,

sewage treatment has gone down by 37.3 million gallons, with a resulting decline of $188,000 in revenue. Additionally, Raftelis projects a $245,000 deficit for Fiscal Year 2010-2011 because the wastewater volume charge is insufficient. City Public Works Director Larry Thomas has cited residents conserving water in response to droughts as one reason for the decline in water usage. Cantley at Tuesday evening’s commission meeting commended customers for taking such measures. Still, Cantley said that antiquated piping has been causing the city’s state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant to have to handle millions of gallons of storm water in the rainy season. Cantley said a rough estimate to fix all of the drainage problems at one time could exceed $7 million and cited the need to pace repairs as revenues increase and additional funding means are sought. Cantley said the city, which is a partner in the Kerr Lake Regional Water System, has been receiving increased costs from the system. Henderson is the system’s majority partner and the system’s water plant is off Flemingtown Road in northeastern Vance

SHALAG, from page one Woodlief also said he and City Manager Mark Donham will be showing Shalag representatives around and will be discussing services that are offered. Tilley on Tuesday evening said the downside for the county was another Israeli company his office was recruiting instead chose to locate in Franklin County. Tilley did not provide the name, but in November, Palziv, a foam manufacturing company, announced intentions to open a North American headquarters and manufacturing facility in Louisburg, creating 72 jobs.

In updating the Oxford officials about recruitment efforts generally, Tilley said his office is working with “only six really active projects” and is working with approximately six or seven “that are not dead, but not very active.” Tilley said his office has approximately four or five requests for information, but has not received any calls back since providing details. “That’s not a whole lot for good times, but for the slow times, it’s an improvement,” Tilley said. Additionally, Tilley said he last week showed two

County. “If we chose to do nothing, we would be neglecting our responsibilities and will put the city in severe danger of seriously depleting our reserve fund balance,” Cantley said. Sergent called for a substitute motion to hold the rate increases to only the first year to allow time for more discussion before approving the rates for the following four years. Cantley said the problem is the city has been looking at the short term instead of the long term. Mayor Al Woodlief said Cantley and the previous Public Works Committee chairman, since-retired Paul Kiesow, discussed the matter at length with Raftelis. Woodlief said the reason the numbers came to light is because the city must have sufficient funds to meet payments for the wastewater treatment plant. Sergent said she does not contest the need to meet costs. Cantley said the city needs time to plan ahead. Sergent’s substitute motion only received support from Harris. That was followed by the 5-2 vote on Cantley’s motion.

The air conditioning system cools the nuclear plant’s electrical panels and control room so they don’t overheat. Ledford said that wasn’t a risk in the cold weather. Artistic Director
