Dawn M. Kurry

Richmond County Daily Journal

State Rep. Garland E. Pierce was appointed this week by House Speaker Thom Tillis to serve as a member of the Joint Legislative Emergency Management Oversight Committee. “I am pleased to have this opportunity to serve as a member of this committee. This appointment will allow me to serve both the House of Representatives and the people of my district who are interested in emergency management changes,” said Rep. Pierce. The committee is charged with makRep. Pierce ing various changes to the Emergency Management Statutes; and establishing the Joint Legislative Emergency Management Oversight Committee, as recommended by the Senate Select Committee on Emergency Preparedness and Response. Julia Jarema, communications officer with the North Carolina Emergency Management, said this committee will serve as a bridge between local Emergency Management staff and legislators. “All disasters start and end at the local level,” said Jarema. “If there are things (local Emergency Management) needs that they are not getting, that’s where they need to start.” The committee is made up of six members from each house, and are appointed to make ongoing recommendations to improve disaster response and recovery. “They evaluate the state’s emergency response, planning and recovery,” said Jarema. “They monitor resources and general evaluations on public health, natural and man-made disaster response and terrorism response. Our legislative staff will work mostly with the committee.” Richmond County Emergency Management Director Donna Wright said she is pleased to have a legislative connection specifically tailored to her field. “Having a local person there will be great,” said Wright. “I look forward to working with Rep. Pierce, and anything he can help us with will certainly be appreciated.” — Staff Writer Dawn M. Kurry can be reached at 910-9973111, ext. 15, or by email at dkurry@civitasmedia.com.

FirstCarolinaCare withdraws application Staff Report

In a communication to the North Carolina Department of Insurance, FirstCarolinaCare Insurance Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of FirstHealth of the Carolinas, announced this week that it is reluctantly withdrawing its application to participate in the Federal Health Insurance Exchange, also called the “Marketplace.” “This was not a step taken lightly,” said Kenneth J. Lewis, president of FirstCarolinaCare Insurance Company. “When we originally proposed participation in the Exchange, we recognized that there were many unknowns for all of us. However, after months of review, there continue to be uncertainties in the Exchange implementation and processes for insurers. After further assessment of the uncertainties related to the Exchange and consideration of our overall business strategy, we reluctantly came to the conclusion to withdraw our application to participate in the Exchange.” Participation in the Exchange would have been the first time FirstCarolinaCare sold to individuals rather than to groups. “FirstCarolinaCare proposed participation in the Exchange to initially ensure coverage options for our local community,” said Lewis.

Epps was recently honored by the White House for being a Champion of Change for Tech Inclusion and bringing technology to public school students in Richmond County. This particular program was created by the White House to feature individuals, businesses, and organizations doing things that help and inspire their communities. The White House stated that since 2009 Epps has trained students in grades 5 through 12 in the use of 3-D design, 3-D scanning, and 3-D printing technologies in order to prepare them for technology-related careers. During the summer at the Richmond County Ninth Grade Academy in Hamlet, several students participated

in an invitation-only summer program where Epps helped them to explore various advanced technologies, including 3-D scanning and printing. The G.R.E.A.T. (Globally Ready Engineering and Technology Academy) program, a program that was founded by Epps in 2009 with only seven high school students, is sponsored by the school district. The open house will be held at the Richmond Ninth Grade Academy, at 804 County Home Road, Hamlet. Refreshments will be provided for those who attend the 3-D open house.

Is it time for you to get healthy and lose weight? If so, then you may want to sign up for the Eat Healthy, Be Active, Weight Loss Workshop that Sarah Mammarella, MS, RD, LDN, Family & Consumer Sciences agent with the NC Cooperative Extension, will be offering on Oct. 8. “I offer an eight-week weight loss class. It has a group education component and a one-on-one consultation with me, a registered dietitian,” said Mammarella. Each class has a different healthy recipe that goes along with it as well as a different nutritional message, she said. Mammarella developed this program to access the needs of Richmond County after she researched the obesity and disease rates of the area. After she conducted the research, she discovered that one-third of the residents in the county were obese, so therefore providing the workshop here would beneficial to members of the community. “It is really important here because so many Richmond

In the first week, all participants will weight-in and set a personal goal. Throughout the weeks, they will work on their personal goal and at the end of the eight weeks they will be weighed once again and whoever reaches their goal will be able to receive $10 back from the registration fee. “I’ve heard some really good success stories,” said Mammarella. Several of the participants have come off of blood pressure medication, reduced their blood sugar (diabetics) and had overall healthier check-ups with their doctor,

Weight From page A1 gram is beneficial and is worth the money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that anyone who has struggled with their weight should take this class,â&#x20AC;? she said. Byrd said that she has enjoyed working with Mammarella because she is very supportive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She wants to motivate you and she does a good job at it,â&#x20AC;? she said. Byrd says that her final weight goal is 155 to 160 pounds, but if she does

not ever lose another pound she would still be completely happy. She has already enrolled in two classes and plans to enroll in the weight loss class that will be held this October. Byrd said that she enjoys continuing to be a member of the workshop because it gives her accountability. Also, she will be speaking to the participants of the upcoming class. Anybody who is at

the point where they are ready to get healthy and learn a different way of living should take the class, said Byrd. Annie Covington, a former member of the group, is also very happy that she decided to enroll in the weight loss class. She has managed to lose weight, stop taking one of her blood pressure medications and has reduced her blood sugar level. She said that her main

intention of enrolling in the workshop was not to lose weight, but to prevent herself from getting on insulin for her diabetes. Covington also said that she wanted to join the program to help her change her eating habits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to eat better and to get started I needed to get encouragement,â&#x20AC;? she said. The support group has been very beneficial to

Covington and she was able to lose weight and learn how to eat much healthier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot more energy,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am eating a lot more fruits and vegetables. I try to watch my portions and fried foods.â&#x20AC;? Covington also mentioned that she drinks a lot of water and has cut down on tea and soft drinks. The Eat Healthy, Be Active, Weight Loss

Workshop is offered on Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., at the Agricultural Services Center, 123 Caroline St. in Rockingham, and the cost to pre-register is $25. If you have any questions or would like to pre-register, contact Mammarella at 910-9978255.

New rampage raises gun issues From the News and Observer

Another day in America and another mass shooting. This time, one gunman killed 12 people and wounded others at the Washington Navy Yard. The gunman also was killed. Now comes the ritual with which Americans are too familiar: an explosion of media coverage exploring what happened and telling the story of the alleged shooter — identified as Aaron Alexis, a 34-year-old Navy veteran — and what might have motivated him. Then comes another round in the debate over gun control in a nation armed to the teeth, a nation seemingly incapable of keeping a few of those weapons from people who are mentally unstable and bent on a bizarre crusade of vengeance against innocent people. This time, though, the pattern of mass shootings has taken a symbolic turn. The shots on Monday erupted just blocks from the Capitol where the National Rifle Association has managed to block bills proposing significant changes in the nation’s gun laws. And it comes just days after the gun rights movement in Colorado — a state that has endured a high school slaughter in Columbine and a movie audience raked with gunfire in Aurora — successfully recalled from office two state senators who backed a successful effort to strengthen gun laws. … The resistance to gun control is driven by a combination of money from U.S. gun manufacturers and a fervent belief among some gun owners that assault-style rifles and easily obtained handguns increase the safety of American citizens. But two of the recent mass shootings, one at Fort Hood in Texas and Monday’s event, took place within military facilities where there was no shortage of guns. … But there is little reason to hope that the proximity of America’s latest mass murder will change the minds of enough lawmakers to make a difference. If the carnage at Sandy Hook with its toll of six adults and 20 firstgraders was not enough, this won’t be, either. Some new laws strengthening gun control passed in Democratically controlled states after Sandy Hook, but some Republicancontrolled states — including North Carolina — instead relaxed limits on guns and where they can be carried. Perversely, the Navy Yard shootings likely will bring another wave of gun purchases by people who fear that something might now be done about easy access to high-powered weapons. They need not run out to buy guns. Monday was a terrifying day in a corner of the nation’s capital, but it was also just another day in America.

My Spin: Running out of gas with two critical transportation questions Each year, 100,000 new residents call North Carolina home. From 1990 to 2010, our population grew by 44 percent and vehicle travel increased 63 percent. Fifty-four percent of our major urban highways are congested, 44 percent are in poor or mediocre condition and out state is behind the curve meeting today’s needs, with no plan for the future. Before we can address these problems there are two critical questions that must be Tom answered: Who Campbell Contributing makes the deciColumnist sions which projects to fund and how will we fund them? Having served on the North Carolina Board of Transportation I saw first-hand that powerful legislators, influential DOT Board members and the governor made road decisions. The Perdue administration eliminated decisionmaking power from the DOT Board. Governor McCrory’s transportation initiatives went further, uncoupling the funding formula established by the 1989 Highway Trust Fund that allocated money equally to 14 highway division districts, instead replacing it with the Strategic Mobility Formula that would allocate funds based on data and local input. The new formula allocates

40 percent of available road funds to projects of statewide significance, 30 percent to regions in the state and the remaining 30 percent divided equally among the 14 highway divisions for local projects that address safety, connectivity and congestion. While this is a major change in the allocations of funds it still doesn’t provide specificity as to who makes the decisions which projects to fund. The Joint Legislative Transportation Oversight Committee met this week and raised that question, admitting they didn’t clarify those details prior to approving the Strategic Mobility Formula. Despite assurances from DOT Secretary Tony Tata that local wishes would be heard we still don’t know who makes the final decisions or how they will be made. Even more critical is where we will get needed funds. Most states fund about 20 percent of road mileage but in North Carolina 80 percent of the responsibility for roads falls to state government. Current state revenues amount to about $3 billion per year, with the federal government adding another billion; both federal and state funds are declining. More than 60 percent of state transportation revenues come from the gas tax, but with more fuel-efficient vehicles our gas usage is declining. Further exacerbating the problem is the legisla-

ture’s cap on gas taxes at 37.5 cents per gallon. We are literally running out of gas (money) at a time when we need to be dramatically improving roads, ports, rails and transit. In 2008, Governor Easley’s 21st Century Transportation Study projected needs at $25 billion greater than expected revenue projections. Like it or not more money is needed and those who use transportation will be the ones to pay. Options include higher gas taxes, more toll roads, taxes levied on yearly vehicle miles traveled, increased funding from local governments, higher vehicle sales taxes and license fees or a major public transportation bond referendum, using the state’s borrowing power and tax revenues to pay off the debt. It is time we face the music. Replacing one funding formula with another isn’t real transportation reform. Governor McCrory promised us a comprehensive plan and this plan must include specifics on who will make transportation decisions and how current and future needs will be funded. — Tom Campbell is former assistant North Carolina State Treasurer and is creator/host of “NC SPIN,” a weekly statewide television discussion of North Carolina issues airing Sundays at 6:30 a.m. on WRALTV and at 8:30 a.m. on WRAZ-TV FOX50.

Today is Wednesday, Sept. 18, the 261st day of 2013. There are 104 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 18, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed a commission naming Rabbi Jacob Frankel of Rodeph Shalom Congregation in Philadelphia the first Jewish chaplain of the U.S. Army. On this date: In 1759, the French formally surrendered Quebec to the British. In 1793, President George Washington laid the cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol. In 1810, Chile made its initial declaration of independence from Spain with the formation of a national junta. In 1850, Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act, which created a force of federal commissioners charged with returning escaped slaves to their owners. In 1927, the Columbia Phonograph Broadcasting System (later CBS) made its on-air debut with a basic network of 16 radio stations. In 1931, an explosion in the Chinese city of Mukden damaged a section of Japaneseowned railway track; Japan, blaming Chinese nationalists, invaded Manchuria the next day. In 1947, the National Security Act, which created a National Military Establishment, went into effect. In 1961, United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold (dahg HAWM’-ahr-shoold) was killed in a plane crash in northern Rhodesia. In 1970, rock star Jimi Hendrix died in London at age 27. In 1975, newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst was captured by the FBI in San Francisco, 19 months after being kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army. In 1981, a museum honoring former President Gerald R. Ford was dedicated in Grand Rapids, Mich. In 1990, the city of Atlanta was named the site of the 1996 Summer Olympics. The organized crime drama “GoodFellas,” directed by Martin Scorsese, had its U.S. premiere in New York. Ten years ago: Hurricane Isabel plowed into North Carolina’s Outer Banks with 100 mph winds and pushed its way up the Eastern Seaboard; the storm was later blamed for 30 deaths. Five years ago: President George W. Bush told the country his administration was working feverishly to calm turmoil in the financial markets. The president met with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who then asked Congress to give the government power to rescue banks by buying up their bad assets. Stocks on Wall Street shot up more than 400 points on word a plan was in the works.

A Freemason’s testament to longevity Staff Report

Bunn T. Phillips, Past Grand Master of Masons in North Carolina, from Rockingham, is still active in Masonry at 89. Phillips presented a program on Masonic education at Hamlet Lodge No. 532 on Sept. 12. He said, “As I enter the sunset years of my life, I am grateful for the three score and thirty years that God has granted me, on this earth. First and foremost, in my memories, is a deep seated faith in Almighty God, through the saving Grace of Jesus Christ, that was instilled, at my Mother’s knee. Second, the privilege of sharing 54 years (which death ended, in 2002) with my ‘little red headed Quaker wife, Virginia’ and being blessed with three of the greatest sons (all Masons) any parents could ever ask for. “For sixty two of my eighty nine years, I have been privileged to labor in the quarries of

Freemasonry and afforded the opportunity to serve at the highest levels of that great fraternity. Perhaps the greatest of those privileges, has been the opportunity it afforded, to visit lodges across this great state, literally from Manteo to Murphy and to rub shoulders with the men who form the nucleus of our fraternity. For more than forty of those years, I have been asked to conduct solemn Masonic Rites for departed brethren, across the state (and in S.C.) including more than ten Past Grand Masters and elective Grand Lodge officers. No Masonic honor is higher than to sit in lodge, on the level, with a group of Master Masons. “One of the greatest lessons to be learned in Freemasonry is to accept the fact that it is not a religion and offers no plan of salvation and must never be used as a substitute for one’s relationship with God,” said Phillips.

Nationals sweep Braves

WASHINGTON (AP) — Craig Kimbrel had converted 37 consecutive save chances since early May. Andrelton Simmons began the day with the second-best fielding percentage among National League shortstops. Both faltered in the ninth inning on Tuesday, when the Washington Nationals overcame a two-run deficit to beat the Atlanta Braves 6-5 in the makeup of a series opener postponed by a shooting rampage a day earlier at the nearby Navy Yard. Simmons allowed Denard Span’s grounder off Kimbrel to bounce through his legs for a game-ending, two-run error. “The numbers were probably pretty well stacked against us,”

Washington’s Ian Desmond said. “But they have been for a while now, so we’re just going out and playing.” Pinch-hitter Chad Tracy had an RBI grounder against Kimbrel as Washington kept Atlanta’s magic number at four for clinching the NL East for the first time since the Braves’ streak of 11 consecutive division titles from 1995-05. A sweep of the day-night doubleheader would have sealed the division for Atlanta. “By no means are we to, I guess, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow yet,” Desmond said.” But we are playing better, and I think that’s all that anybody in here really wanted to see.” Kimbrel (3-3), who leads the

Richmond moves up in AP poll Shawn Stinson Sports editor

RALEIGH — After taking a short fall last week, the Richmond Senior football team moved up a spot in the latest Associated Press poll released Tuesday. Coming off a 62-37 victory at Jack Britt, the Raiders jumped to third from fourth. Richmond received 108 points this week, trailing only Mallard Creek and Southeastern Conference rival Scotland. The Mavericks received 12 of the 13 first-place ballots cast, while the Fighting Scots received the other top vote. West Mecklenburg made the biggest move going from 10th to fourth following its win over Independence. East Forsyth was fifth. Rounding out the top 10 are: Leesville Road, Dudley, Independence, Hough and Hillside. The latest NCPreps. com poll has Richmond third behind Mallard Creek and Scotland. East Forsyth is fourth and West Mecklenburg checks in at No. 5. The rest of the top 10 is: Hough, Independence, Leesville Road and Dudley tied at 8th and North Davidson.

Wolfpack look to tame Tigers’ offense RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina State’s defense spent spring practices and preseason training camp working against the team’s new no-huddle offense. That should offer some preparation for third-ranked Clemson’s fast-paced attack Thursday night. First-year Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren spent the first months of his tenure installing the new offensive scheme, but his coaching staff has also pushed for players on both sides of the ball to work faster in everything they do. N.C. State (2-0) opened with a win against no-huddle offense Louisiana Tech, but hasn’t faced anything as fast as Clemson’s attack yet. “Our defensive kids had to face our offense all through spring, all through camps,” Doeren said Monday. “We’re very similar in a lot of things we do. … You can’t simulate exactly how fast they’re going to be going with your scout team guys. But I do think being a no-huddle team does

prepare your defense better for those matchups.” The Tigers (2-0) averaged 45 points and nearly 490 yards in their wins against highly ranked Georgia and South Carolina State behind star quarterback Tajh Boyd and receiver Sammy Watkins. But it’s their gogo-go pace that puts the most stress on defensive players, wearing them down and giving them little time to adjust to the Tigers’ calls. Clemson ran 76 plays in the 38-35 win against Georgia to open the season, then ran 95 plays in the 52-13 win against S.C. State on Sept. 7. And the Tigers are eager to keep pushing the pace. “We have had some really good practices over the last 10 days,” Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris said. “We pushed them and taxed them in some areas and they responded and that was good to see.” The pace has been a facRichard Shiro|AP Photo tor in the past two meetClemson quarterback Tajh Boyd has passed for 439 yards and three See WOLFPACK | 2B touchdowns as well as rush for another three scores this season.

Dickey, Blue Jays shut out Yankees TORONTO (AP) — R.A. Dickey pitched seven innings to win his fourth straight decision, Colby Rasmus and Rajai Davis homered and the Toronto Blue Jays beat New York 2-0 on Tuesday night, the slumping Yankees’ fourth straight loss.

Dickey has not lost since the Yankees beat him in the Bronx on Aug. 21. He’s 4-0 with a 2.73 ERA in five starts since. Sergio Santos pitched the eighth and Casey Janssen finished in the ninth for his 31st save in 33 chances. Alex Rodriguez returned to New York’s lineup after leaving Sunday’s loss at Boston in the fifth inning with a strained right calf. He’s also dealing with a sore left hamstring suffered in last Tuesday’s win at

is hoping to minimize the Tigers’ big plays — runs of at least 10 yards and passing plays of at least 20 yards — and keep Boyd in the pocket. And if the defense can get enough stops to get the ball back for the offense, maybe the Wolfpack’s fast-tempo attack can put some pressure on the Tigers’ defense. Regardless, Gentry knows slowing the Tigers will be a big challenge. “I wouldn’t say intimidation,” Gentry said of facing Clemson’s offense. “I think we’ll play harder because we know how good they are. The schemes we have drawn up for them are really good. Our preparation has been a lot more thorough, too, so I’m looking forward to it.”

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2013: This year you will learn to bend gracefully toward others’ way of thinking without harboring resentment. You will come to an understanding as to how easy it is to respect differences and learn from them. If you are single, you will discover someone very special in your immediate environment. The attraction will be strong, but you might realize that you are very different people. Before making a commitment, get to know each other completely. If you are attached, the two of you act like a seesaw, in the sense that you each take turns leading and being right. PISCES appeals to you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Your hard work and effort will pay off far more than you might’ve thought possible. You could find an instrumental partner to be overserious. Do not take this person’s attitude personally. Opportunities surround your home and your personal life. Tonight: Not to be found! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Everything from your gait to the way you carry yourself exudes resilience and confidence. A partner could be jealous, and he or she might be very cold toward you as a result. Don’t let this behavior get to you. Make your presence known. Tonight: Rearrange your plans, if need be. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You have a strong sense of what needs to be done, and it is unlikely that you will settle for anything less than what you want. Money might flow out of your account as quickly as it goes in. Take a break in the afternoon in order to pace yourself. Tonight: A must appearance. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You are in the position to make one of your long-desired dreams a reality, yet there might be some fear around realizing this wish. You could trip yourself up unless you are willing to root out the issue. Revamp plans with a key associate or loved one. Tonight: Buy tickets to a concert. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You have pushed so hard lately that your energy seems to be waning, even though your enthusiasm remains high. If you would take just an hour for relaxing, and then delegate what you can to others, you will feel revitalized. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s request.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You tend to let others take the lead. Some people might not realize that you make a conscious choice to defer to them; otherwise, they could be taken aback. A meeting that transforms into a friendly get-together will be the highlight of your day. Tonight: Say “yes.” LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Emphasis is on routine and daily matters. You might want to make a situation more exciting. You are likely to tease someone whom you’ve put on a pedestal. Fortunately, all parties involved have a sense of humor. Tonight: Put your feet up and watch a favorite TV show. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You might want to express concern about someone’s interpretation of a situation. Perhaps you feel as though this person is way off. Realize that it could be just your wild imagination. Make a point to indulge a loved one. Tonight: Adapt to a friend’s request. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH If you can play it low-key, you’ll feel better by the end of the day. A partner could come through for you in a major way. You might not believe everything you hear. Do your own research, and as a result, you will feel more confident in making decisions. Tonight: At home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Emphasize your priorities. You know what will happen if you are able to get your way. Unfortunately, you might not have that opportunity, as a partner will be so charming that people naturally will gravitate toward his or her way of thinking instead. Tonight: Go with the flow. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might notice that you have a need to catch up with others financially. The good news is that this attitude is temporary. Your values could be considerably different from those around you. Try not to point out the differences, but do respect them. Tonight: Indulge a little. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You are in your element. You would have to work very hard in order to displease someone in your life. You naturally say and do the right thing. You might not even be aware of the number of admirers you seem to have. Tonight: Be yourself, and let the good times roll. Jacqueline Bigar is on the Internet at www.jacquelinebigar.com.
