Council denies Sheetz land developmentJordan YelvertonIntern

On Monday, April 2, the Garner Town Council unani-mously voted against the pro-posal from Sheetz, Inc. for the development of a 2.8-acre por-tion of land to be developed into a 24-hour gas station at the corner of Benson Road (NC 50) and New Bethel Church Road.

The surrounding areas that would have been directly affected by the change were Centennial Park, Glens at Bethel neighborhood and New Bethel Baptist Church.

The Town Council felt that this area, as well as the town of Garner would be affected.

“The change to the Comprehensive Growth Plan would change all of Garner,” Councilman Gra Singleton said.

Along with Sheetz propos-al were three applications: a Comprehensive Growth Plan amendment, a rezoning peti-tion and a site development plan. All applications were con-tingent upon one another. If all three had been passed by the Town Council, construction of the Sheetz gas station would have been under way.

Comprehensive Growth Plan (CGP)

The CGP provides a long-range vision of opportunities for development as well as

opportunit ies for the rede-velopment of land. The CGP also provides for community infrastructure decisions and c o m m u n i t y image.

The first decision that was made by the Town Council was regarding the Comprehensive Growth Plan.

The applicants, property owners Horace and Brenda Tart and Michael Birch and K&L Gates LLP, the lawyers representing Sheetz, proposed to amend the text of the CGP to allow for the gas station to be built.

The first proposal was that the text be changed to add C o m m u n i t y Retail (CR) zoning to the list of recom-mended dis-tricts for the

Neighborhood Core. Under the current CGP, a CR district, the lowest-level commercial zon-ing district that allows conve-nience stores with fuel sales, is not recommended for the Neighborhood Core.

The change would appear in the CGP’s “Land Use and Design Matrix.” The second proposal was for the amend-ment to include a footnote in

the matrix that would serve as a guide to what is an appropri-ate use for a CR district within the Neighborhood Core.

When explaining the CGP, Mack Paul, a representative with K&L Gates said, “This is really just looking at certain circumstances in the neighbor-hood cores within the town of Garner where a community retail use may be appropriate and trying to tailor it according to those locations.”

However, P lanning Commission Chairman Elmo Vance asked, “Is there a com-pelling reason to make a change to the Comprehensive Growth Plan? Is it in the public interest

“It’s not about growth, it’s about this growth.”

Red Route back in the spotlightKelly GriffithEditor

More than a year after Garner residents thought the Red Route was squashed by their vociferous com-plaints, the I-540 extension project could rear its ugly head.

David Joyner, executive direc-tor of the N.C. Turnpike Authority, received a letter on March 20 from the Federal Highway A d m i n i s t ra t i o n , stating that a study of the Red Route would need to begin in 60 days or federal funding to complete the environmental impact statement would be pulled from the I-540 Southern leg extension project.

Garner Mayor Ronnie Williams said while it will be the N.C. Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s decision in the end, he is not con-

vinced that the Army Corps of Engineers will dismiss the Red Route as the best option.

“They’ve not proven to me that it’s not going to hap-pen,” Williams said.

Williams, along with may-ors and t o w n staff from G a r n e r , H o l l y S p r i n gs , Apex and F u q u a y m e t re c e n t l y to discuss the issue. The gen-eral con-s e n s u s

remains the same – if the Red Route won’t be imple-mented, there’s no need to study it. Plus, with various estimates up to $650,000, the hefty bill for the study is a high price to pay when the state and federal economies aren’t at their best.

However, according to

the letter, federal mandates require studies of two alter-native routes besides the original orange route.

“Under (the National Environmental Protection Act), it is essential that Federal agencies prepare an

e n v i r o n -m e n t a l document that rig-o r o u s l y e x p l o r e s and objec-t i v e l y eva luates all reason-able alter-n at i v e s , ” the letter s t a t e s . “ U n t i l

the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has issued its decision docu-ment, all alternatives con-sidered, in addition to those that may have not been pre-viously considered, remain open for evaluation.”

The letter describes that

what’s left of the study includes analysis of traffic, noise, natural resources, community impact and indi-rect and cumulative effects, wetland and stream delinea-tions through field recon-naissance, quantitative data

on residential and business reloca-tions as well as functional design.

“The Red Route is the one that makes no sense at all,” said Sears about the corridor that would dis-place more than 1,000 residents and essentially cut Garner in half.

The mayors all just want to get the I-540 project back on track.

“We are for getting this process going and getting the Red Route off the map,” Sears said. “I see no reason why it can’t go forward.”

But Williams is unsure

North Regional Library to host southern cooking discussion

On, Tuesday, April 24 at 6:30 p.m., North Regional Library will offer the pro-gram “Still Cookin’: Food and Memory in Southern Literature.”

Some people say south-ern culture will not disap-pear until southern food is unrecognizable as being a cuisine distinct from other regions. Others say southern cooking will not disappear until we quit talking about it. From Mary Randolph’s 1824 Virginia Housewife to the twentieth century, southerners have written, argued, and reminisced about food. Dr. Mary Ellis Gibson traces the history of southern foodtalk in cookbooks and in fiction, asking why southern-ers are so obsessed with eating together and why they find it even more important to remember and talk about the meals they have shared.

Presenter Mary Ellis Gibson is Professor of English at the University

of North Carolina Greensboro, where she teaches English litera-ture, women’s and gen-der studies, and colonial and post-colonial litera-tures. She is working on a book about southern cooking from a global perspective that mingles memoir with social his-tory. Having grown up in Boone, with parents from the Piedmont and “down East,” Gibson says she grew up being ‘not from here.’ She brings to her talks on southern litera-ture and culture her inter-est in the ways ‘not from here’ become home.

This project is made possible by a grant from the North Carolina Humanities Council, a statewide nonprofit and affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

North Regional Library is located at 7009 Harps Mill Road in Raleigh. The program is free to the public.

Week of the Young Child Celebration

On Saturday, April 28 at 3 p.m., meet Betsy Kindergarten, enjoy storytelling, bookmaking, pup-petry and fun. All families who attend will be eligible to win a literacy gift basket. Please call 919-662-2263 or visit the library to register for this event for chil-dren, ages younger than 9, and their families.

Laurel Shelton is the central feature of a new and powerful anti-war novel set in the mountains of Madison County, North Carolina.

If I made that state-ment to anyone familiar with North Carolina’s Civil War his-tory, I would be quickly cor-rected. “No, you’ve got this name reversed. It is Shelton Laurel, the place in Madison County where, during that war, a group of captured suspected Union sympathizers were brutally executed by their Confederate captors.”

But, they would be wrong. Laurel Shelton, the main character in Ron Rash’s new novel,” The Cove,” is a young mountain woman who lives with her brother in a back cove near Mars Hill, the town and the college. It is 1918, and the World War is com-ing to an end.

Although Laurel is young and reasonably attractive, her prospects for a happy life are slim. Both her parents are dead. Her brother is about to marry and leave her alone on the farm. And, the mountain community believes that she is a witch and

that the cove where she lives is cursed. Laurel is shunned whenever she leaves the farm. When she goes into town, people walk across the street to avoid contact

and storekeepers discourage her patronage.

A chance for happiness comes in the form of her rescue of a man in great distress, near death, and lost in the forest. He is seemingly mute. He does not speak, but he owns and plays a flute in a stun-

ningly beautiful fashion.As the stranger

recovers and starts to help Laurel’s brother, romance blossoms and Laurel finds the happiness that life in Madison County had thus far denied her. Does it sound more like a romance novel than a dark anti-war one?

Here are some of its features that question the value of making war:

* Laurel’s brother, Hank, has come home from the war with a missing hand. Each day he faces the challenge of doing two-handed farm work with his one remaining hand.

* Other Madison County soldiers are dying in battle in Europe or coming home shattered in body and

spirit.* Meanwhile, recruit-

ing Sgt. Chauncey Feith uses his position to boost his political ambitions by tracking down “pro-Hun” books and faculty members at the college and push-ing for their removal. His “patriotism” is a caricature that reminds a reader of Hitler’s Nazism, based on hatred of real or imagined ene-mies, not real patriotism based simply on unself-ish love of country.

* Finally, at the book’s conclusion, passion and hatred of the enemy come together in a bru-tal, senseless, savage massacre that evokes the memory of what hap-pened at Shelton Laurel during the Civil War.

Did Rash know that he was making this “antiwar” connection to Shelton Laurel? Or was his naming of his character Laurel a coin-cidence?

There is no doubt in my mind. He knew what he was doing.

Rash was born and bred in the Carolina foothills. He teaches at Western Carolina University. He is thor-oughly familiar, if not obsessed, with the his-tory of the massacre at Shelton Laurel. It plays a part in an earlier novel, “The World Made Straight,” which features

another member of the Shelton family. Rash’s other writings show his familiarity and inter-est in Civil War events in the North Carolina mountains.

If Rash knew what he was doing in creating an anti-war novel, he also knows something else. He knows how to create a gripping story of mountain people and mountain life.

With its compelling ending, “The Cove” will, like his other books, most recently “Serena,” become a bestseller by entertaining and entrancing numerous readers who will not recognize and will not care about my opinion regarding the book’s anti-war message.

John Hart’s novel “The Lost Child” won for him a second Edgar Award for the best mys-tery novel of the year. He says his latest, “Iron House,” is even better. It is a page-turner, with much of the action set on a large estate near Chapel Hill owned by a wealthy U.S. Senator.

Recently, you will see in major grocery store chains that they offer tablets that you can put into your dishwasher or washing machine. I have to admit that I was hooked when the dish-washer tablets first came out. It was so easy just to place the little tab-let in and be done with it. After a lit-tle while, I discov-ered that half the time the tablets wouldn’t do a good job at cleaning and were twice as much as the old fashioned dishwasher detergents. So I quickly returned to the old fashioned way of doing dishes in the dishwasher. You will now find me pouring my detergent into my machine by myself. It usually saves me over $2 a box or more and I am much happier with the outcome. If you are an avid couponer, you also will notice that liq-uid dish washing soaps always seem to have coupons. I always by the

trial sizes or small sizes and always pay less than a $1 when purchasing

liquid detergent. I have to admit I’m not going to even attempt to use the new laundry detergent tablets that are hitting the stores. They are expensive. Laundry detergent is one product that always seems to offer a lot of coupons. I typi-cally can purchase

laundry detergent for as little as $1.58 a container and typically never spend more than $2.99. Why would I want to buy high price tablets, when low bud-get detergent works just as well? While it does not seem like a lot now, all these little prices do add up and can save you a lot at the grocery store. After Easter Sales Did you hit the after Easter sales?

Resume secrets for job seekersPeople ask regularly

why they should keep their resume up to date. Given the economy, you can never be too pre-pared for an unforeseen change in employment. With announce-ments, such as Yahoo’s recent layoff of 2,000 workers, it’s best to always have a resume that is ready to go. We let can-didates know that com-petition is greater for employment than it has been in the last half cen-tury. A candidate taking the time to include a sig-nificant project or skill on their resume could be the tipping point on whether that person gets a job.

Winning TipsSome characteristics

to having a great resume seem pretty straight

forward. For instance, a chronological resume beats a highlights-based one every time. If a resume is highlights based, employers can’t tell when you used a

particular skill or technology. Chronologically, managers can gauge when and how a candidate utilized certain technologies

that are relevant for con-sideration.

Another tip is to cus-tomize your resume so that it’s centric to the position you’re applying for. Managers generally only spend 15 seconds reviewing a resume so a candidate’s resume has to be attention grabbing and relevant to the open position.

Use metrics on your resume to highlight achievements, outline financial responsibili-

ties or put a number on the amount of people or resources you managed. It is always a plus to see a resume that clearly illustrates quantifiable results and success.

Mistakes to AvoidOne common mistake

we see candidates make with their resumes is having a resume that’s too generic. Specifically outline your roles and responsibilities. Another frequent mistake is resumes that have typos. Before submitting your resume, take time to proofread it, spell check and have someone else critique it as well.

Standing OutOur firm regu-

larly reviews 15 to 20 resumes for every candi-date we call. To further reinforce the point, for every seven to 10 candi-

dates we call, we might find one that we deem worthy of being submit-ted for a position. If you know the competition is fierce, how can you make your resume stand out? Since you only have 15 seconds to grab a manager’s attention, take the time to bold the relevant skills that an executive would view as important for you to delineate yourself from others being considered for the role applied for.

Take a few days every six months and make sure your resume is updated. Winning in this job market is as much about being prepared for the game as it is having the skills to play.

Dear Editor,

Living in the Syracuse, N.Y., area, (a hotbed of lacrosse), I can sympathize with the fairly new pro-gram just beginning at Garner High School and with the players who have the difficult task of developing the same winning traditions enjoyed by the other major sports at Garner High. You have to start some-where, and that is just what Coach Barnes and her experienced players are doing. Of course they will go through a rough indoctrination, playing against opponents with much more experience, but do not sell them short. As time passes and they gain more skills and finesse, AND develop through their hardwork and diligence, they WILL succeed and achieve. On my recent visit to Raleigh, I was fortunate to attend a Garner Trojans lacrosse game. Knowing that the pro-gram was new, I marvelled at the determination of the “team” and although they did not win, I would never characterize them as “losers.” But, I would, instead, appreciate their great effort and see it as a learning experience that foretells bigger and better days ahead for them and those young men that follow through the coming years. I am reminded of that great sportswriter of the early 1900’s who wrote, “For when the One great scorer comes to write against your name, He writes…not that you won or lost, but how you played the game.” So, with that thought filed away in our memory banks, attend their games, cheer them on and watch them bloom! GO TROJANS!!!

Artist TerryWilliams featured at Magnolia HouseDanielle HarriganContributing Writer

Magnolia House Custom Framing Shop on Main Street in Fuquay-Varina fea-tures local artists each month. Shirley Hunsberger has been Magnolia’s House custom framer since 1994. Each month Shirley puts out a calling to all local artists who would want to display their work in her window on Main Street.

For the upcoming month of April, Terry Williams will display his work at the Magnolia House Custom Framing. Terry paints folk art using oil. Each painting takes Terry around 60 hours to complete. By the time he gets finished he is attached to his painting, therefore he prefers selling prints rather than the originals.

“You can see his style, it is a folk art, along the lines of Grandma Moses, very styled and detailed.” Shirley Hunsberger said. “He paints themes you no longer see anymore, and helps preserve memory while turning it into a beautiful piece of artwork.”

Terry grew up on a farm off Ten Ten Road in Raleigh. Later, he bought his granddad’s farm from his uncle, and he has been living there for over 45 years. Terry uses a very unique tactic while painting; he paints mostly from memory of his childhood. He sticks to painting folk art because it is heavy in his mind as he grew up on a farm. Terry said, “If some-thing doesn’t have character I don’t enjoy painting it. The hardest thing is finding something that I want to paint.”

Terry has been drawing all of his life; it wasn’t until 12 years ago that he had

become interested in painting. In grade school Terry drew a picture in class of Elvis Presley. He said he was not think-ing about drawing, he just tried to do his best. People saw that he had talent and things just progressed from there. Terry is inspired to paint as it is a remedy to calm his nerves.

Terry attended grade school in Garner. After graduating high school, he joined the Navy for two years. When he returned from the Navy, Terry started working for John Deere Company for a total of 41 years. He has been retired for 18 months and now he has time to pursue painting.

Terry Williams’ goal is to grow as a painter. He has already been successful in selling several paintings and is currently looking to sell prints. If you are interest in seeing some of Terry’s work you can stop on by at 218 S. Main Street or visit the Magnolia’s House Custom Frame website at www.magnoliahousefv.com/index.htm.

Oriental In Water Boat Show scheduled this weekendHaving grown up a stones-

throw away from North Carolina’s Pamlico County and the town of Oriental, I’m fairly familiar with the area. It’s been very interesting to watch Oriental grow from a pri-marily commercial fishing waterfront community into a very popular and modern boating and sport as well as commercial fishing community. In fact, Pamlico County’s

somewhat obvious high rate of growth seems to have revolved around Oriental and the various summer camps such as Seagull and Seafarer and the town’s central location on the North Carolina coastline.

I’ve also been awed by the growth of Pamlico County’s County seat of Bayboro as it grows into a model of a quickly prospering coastal

community with five lanes of newly paved main street that connects with four lanes of modern highway leading to a multi-million dollar bridge over the Neuse River and New Bern. The entire Pamlico County area looks to be the epitome of a coastal area who is showing a healthy growth rate without having the benefit of a large industry other than the not-to-be-ignored recreation and tour-ism industry.

With Pamlico County offer-

ing a variety of outdoor activi-ties and the associated tourist and recreation-based industries there’s one central town in the county that is largely responsi-ble for the County’s popularity, that town is Oriental.

Even the name “Oriental” is unique enough to attract the attention of boaters and nauti-cally oriented people and, with this attraction, came a flood of well-educated and enthusiastic retirees from outside the area. They brought their expertise

into the Oriental area and, over the years, the name “Oriental” became synonymous with a quaint but thriving small waterfront community that yachtsmen as well as sport fish-ermen like. Mention “Oriental” in most any seaport of the United States today and it’s understood that this is a North Carolina town that is well worth visiting and possibly re-locating to.

As Oriental has grown the

Spring recipes kick off delicious seasonOnce a year there’s

a glorious ailment we all look forward to – spring fever! A time when the outdoors bea-con us to come outside and enjoy the fragrant air and beautiful color and sun-shine. The time we start preparing our flower and vegetable gardens to enjoy through-out the summer and into the fall.

She has two bachelor degrees (one in early childhood education – Birth through Kindergarten Education) as well as graduate level work. She also has a N.C. teaching license.

to make a change to the Comprehensive Growth Plan? Is it reasonable to make a change to the Comprehensive Growth Plan?”

RezoningPabst and Hilburn, PA, the

engineering and consulting firm that studied everything from traffic to infrastructure for Sheetz, proposed a zon-ing change to the land. The land, which is a Neighborhood Core, is currently zoned as Residential 40 (R-40). The applicant proposed that the land be changed from the R-40 zoning to the CR zoning allow-ing for the operation of a gas station with fuel sales.

This request for an amend-ment was needed so that the conditional use rezoning appli-cation would have been harmo-nious with the CGP. Along with this proposal was a request for a 24-hour gasoline station with retail sales.

The proposed site plan showed a connection to the water line that runs along New Bethel Church Road. With this water line, water and sewer would have been available to serve the property. The pro-posed site has approximate-ly 420 feet of frontage along Benson Road and approximate-ly 360 feet of frontage along New Bethel Church Road. Road improvements would have been required.

Site restrictions were also required for the rezoning. There were 12 restrictions in all.

Beverly Vance, a home owner at Glens of Bethel stated, “We

know what’s right for Garner. We know how to make it hap-pen and we can do that.”

Conditional Use PermitIn conjunction with the

rezoning proposal, the appli-cant also submitted a condi-tional use permit. The condi-tional use permit is a permit that allows for the use of land that is currently inconsistent with zoning but is in the best interest of the public.

The conditional use per-mit would have allowed for a Sheetz convenience store with six fuel pumps and a car-wash. The Project data sub-mitted were things such as building size, building mate-rial and color, landscape and buffer requirements, parking spaces, floodplain, storm-water management, fire protection inside and outside of building, water/sewer and street access/sidewalks that were studied by representatives of Sheetz and placed before the Town Council.

The services that would have been provided include a 24-hour convenience store with fuel sales. Inside seating as well as a patio-style out-door facility would have sup-ported the store’s food sales. A 24-hour car wash would have also been available.

Josh Mooney, a Garner resi-dent claimed, “The proposed development would provide a much needed economic boost to the area by creating new pri-vate sector jobs and by creating hundreds of thousands of dol-lars to the tax base in property value.” Mr. Mooney continued

to say, “I believe it would be unwise for the town to pass on the opportunity to bring a company like Sheetz to the area, which is currently ranked as one of the top employers in North Carolina and seen as a Cadillac in their industry.”

With the proposal clear as to what the applicant was want-ing, the Planning Commission along with home owners from Glens at Bethel neighborhood raised their voices in opposi-tion.

The main concerns of the night were the safety of chil-dren in such a high traffic area.

Jermaine Galum, a resident at the Glens of Bethel claimed that a service station would provide a temptation to chil-dren. As a parent himself he said that “to lose one child…there is nothing worth that.”

Town Councilwomen, Kathy Behringer, said, “We don’t have any children to spare, and we can’t take any risk with our children, not with the park so close by. The children are much more important as to whether or not the gas station goes in.”

While the residents at Glens of Bethel were worried about the safety aspect of the traffic caused by Sheetz, they were just as concerned about the area’s natural beauty being flawed.

Jim Carver, a resident of Garner claimed, “I am not opposed to Sheetz building in Garner. I just think that it is the wrong location. It is an eye sore for this area.”

With all of the opposition, Sheetz didn’t back down.

Sheetz employees are required to be trained in robbery pre-vention, have a minimum of two workers at a time, a panic button worn by management at all times of operation and more than 32 security cameras available. Sheetz representa-tive Jamie Gerhart said, “These things we do because we want to protect our employees and our customers. We do them because it’s the right thing to do.”

Another concern of the residents of Glens of Bethel was the gas stations proposed 24-hour operation.

Donald Crumply, owner and operator of a local, fam-ily owned convenience store claimed that “he doesn’t see the need for a 24-hour gas station.” On most days when Crumply opens his store he says, “A lot of times I get there I don’t have a customer walk through the door for about the first hour that I am open.”

However, a traffic study showed that more than 400 cars between the hours of 11 p.m. and 1 p.m. passed through the area.

“It is not a ghost town after people get home,” Gerhart said.

Throughout the meeting, the intensity picked up as each side fought for what they thought was right for the town of Garner.

Someone had to win, and someone had to lose. Unfortunately the loss came at a big price for Horace Tart.

Tart spent millions of dollars to build the water line that runs along NC 50 highway. When Centennial Park, located beside

the proposed land in question, was built, the town of Garner tapped into his water line to supply the park with water and sewer at no cost to the town. When the Town Council voted against the development of the land Tart stated, “I feel like I have been kicked in the teeth.”

The only way for Tart to get some of the money back is to sell the land. “I had a buyer willing to buy and the town stopped it,” Tart said.

As for the people that wanted the land to stay in its natural condition and not have the land developed, Tart said, “I didn’t buy it to be pleasing to the neighbors’ eyes.”

As Tart prepared to leave the podium firmly stated, “I am going to be honest with you tonight. With the investments that I have put in and the ben-efits that Garner got from my investments, I feel that I have been slapped in the face with no appreciation for what I have done for this town.”

Justin Mularky, Tart’s lawyer stated on behalf of Mr. Tart and himself, “We wanted to do business with a company that could enhance Mr. Tart’s 40 acres. Sheetz was and we still feel is the best choice.”

However, those in opposi-tion didn’t agree with Mularky. Beverly Vance stated, “It’s not about growth, it’s about this growth.”

Although disappointed in the Town Council’s decision Mr. Gerhart claimed, “The good news for Sheetz is that we are still growing and we will continue to look to grow in the Triangle.”

RouteFrom page 1A

of some of the motives behind the may-ors’ support. Conservative Apex Mayor Keith Weatherly didn’t support the toll road or mass transit. However, Williams said, when developer Tom Hendrickson suggested that finishing I-540 would help Veridea, a massive 1,000-acre mixed use development that could bring 20,000 new residents to Apex, Weatherly was suddenly feeling progressive.

“He’s joined the Democrats,” Williams said of Weatherly.

Moving forwardIf it’s possible to move forward with-

out the Red Route even being in ques-tion, the local mayors would be in favor of that.

Weatherly said the issue is if the information in the letter is credible. A lobbying firm is looking into the law to confirm the letter’s legitimacy. Another meeting among local mayors and the lob-

bying firm is set for April 26.But even if the information is credible,

Weatherly would only support an expedi-tious, administrative study. He wants to make sure the extension project moves forward.

“It’s just a bureaucratic hoop,” Weatherly said. “I don’t know anybody in their right mind who would want to stop the (I-540 extension) project in its tracks.”

Executive Director of the Regional Transportation Alliance Joe Milazzo agrees.

“We have got to find a way to keep 540 moving forward,” he said.

The Regional Transportation Alliance’s main priority is connectivity, eliminating the fears that the Triangle may one day be compared to Atlanta or Northern Virginia.

“We’d like to complete our freeway system,” Milazzo said.

The Alliance supports the original orange route because it would provide a direct connection with the Clayton Bypass.

Public reactionWilliams said he hasn’t received much

feedback from the community yet, but he knows Garner residents will rally if the Red Route is the ultimate decision.

Weatherly had a similar outcry from Apex residents when the western leg of I-540 went through. The original corridor that was selected had been protected for nearly 20 years when the issue was raised that a minimum of three corridors would need to be studied. The alternatives would have affected many homeowners.

“I just was honest with them,” Weatherly said.

He knew the homeowners were appre-hensive about the idea of the studies being done, but he assured them that

everything would be okay in the end and their homes would not be replaced by a highway. In the end, Weatherly was right.

If it came down to the Red Route being the selected corridor for the southern leg extension, Weatherly said he would sup-port stopping the project. However, he’s confident he and the other local mayors won’t have to make that decision.

“I don’t believe that would ever hap-pen,” he said.

The Federal Highway Administration’s letter states that if left unattended, the Notice of Intent would be withdrawn. The N.C. Turnpike Authority would have the opportunity to restart the project at any time as long as any restrictions on the red route study were pulled, allowing for compliance with NEPA.

town has blossomed into a thriving seaport. Its location along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway has made it a stopping-off point for the boating traffic that travels the Atlantic coast. With the potential for visitors to the area it is only natural that Oriental have an in water boat show to showcase not only the town but the boating industry of North Carolina as well.

The Forth Annual Oriental In Water Boat Show is to take place on April 13, 14 and 15 at the Pecan Grove Marina and this year it should be one of the largest in water boat shows in the eastern part of North Carolina.

Sam Myers, of the Oriental Rotary Club, is this year’s organizer of the four-year-old show and looks forward to its being even larger than last year’s show which had 75 vendors and net-ted over $9,000 for the Rotary Club’s civic and charitable programs. In spite of last year’s hard economic times the show attracted a lot of enthusi-astic buyers who generat-ed over $500,000 in boat sales and some $135,000

in other maritime prod-ucts sales.

In recent years the town of Oriental and its surrounding area has been noted as being a great place for collectors of maritime memorabilia to purchase some prize items. To take advantage of Oriental’s usual trea-sure trove of maritime items this year’s boat show will also feature a Nautical Flea Market that be operating alongside the In Water Boat Show.

The Oriental In Water Boat Show opens at noon on Friday, April 13 with the annual free day (no admission this day) from noon to 6 p.m.

Saturday, April 14 hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a $5 admission fee.

The Sunday, April 15 admission fee is also $5 with show hours from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There is no charge for children 12 and under. Plenty of free parking is available on the Pecan Grove Marina grounds.

There are 11 free semi-nars scheduled during the three days of the In Water Boat Show.

The opening day top-ics include weather, the

Neuse Riverkeeper pro-gram and state hunting and fishing regulations .

Programs on April 14 range from financing a boat and medical emer-gencies to safety, engine problems and kayak fish-ing.

The final day of the show on Sunday after-noon will feature another session on the current hunting and fishing regu-lations.

The 2011 vendor list can be found at OrientalBoatShow.com, which also includes more information and 2012 vendor updates.

Visitors from the Research Triangle area of North Carolina will find that Oriental is about a three-hour drive from Raleigh with most of the trip on modern dual lane highways. There are accommodations for over-nighting in the Oriental area (see below).

Interested vendors can contact Myers 252-249-0228 or via email at salmonboone@embarq-mail.com.

Also, please refer to www.visitoriental.com for dining, sightseeing, sport-ing and maritime sales and service facilities.

Who was the last player beforeDerek Jeter to start at shortstop forthe Yankees on Opening Day?

MIGUEL CABRERA, DETROITThe Tigers provided a good look at what theiroffense can be this season. Cabrera, one of thetop hitters in the game, hit .455 with a 1.806OPS and led the AL with eight RBIs.

ANTHONY RENDON, WASHINGTONThe No. 6 overall pick in the 2011 draft is off toa hot start to his professional career. Rendon is2-4 with a double, triple and two walks in hisfirst two games at Single-A Potomac. The thirdbaseman out of Rice is expected to movequickly through the Nationals’ system, but willswitch positions at some point. Third basemanRyan Zimmerman has become the face of thefranchise and is signed through 2019 with ateam option for 2020.

NOLAN ARENADO, COLORADOThe 21-year-old Newport Beach, Calif., nativehas hit well at three minor leauge levels priorto 2012, and this season has eight hits in hisfirst four games at Double-A Tulsa. He hasspent his entire career at third base, which iswhere the Rockies could use some help. Theorganization believes he could progressthrough the system very quickly, possiblymaking his major league debut this summer.

7 Innings of no-hit ball that Jason Hammel of the Orioles threw in his first game with the team. It was the third Orioles’ game of the season, and the total surpassed the six-inning no-hitter that Chris Tillman had last season in the team’s second game of the season. Tillman was relieved with the no-hitter intact, while Hammel gave up a leadoff double to Justin Morneau to start the eighth.

0-3 Won-loss record for both the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. This marks the first season since 1966 that both teams started the year with three losses. Of the last 48 teams to make the playoffs, only two — the 2007 Phillies and the 2011 Rays — started 0-3.

13 Teams reliever Octavio Dotel has pitched for in his career. Dotel took the mound for Detroit last weekmaking him the only player in history to suit up for 13 teams. He previously shared the record of 12 with Mike Morgan, Matt Stairs and Ron Villone.

2 Current MLB players who began their major league careers in the 1980s. Toronto’s Omar Vizquel began as a shortstop with the Mariners in 1989. Colorado starting pitcher Jamie Moyer made 16 starts for the Cubs as a rookie in 1986.

Miguel Cabrera Athlon Sports

JEREMY HELLICKSON, TAMPA BAYThe young Rays hurler upstaged his fellowstarters James Shields and David Price bythrowing 8.2 shutout innings with just threehits and four walks as the Rays swept the di-vision rival Yankees.

MATT KEMP, LOS ANGELESThe NL MVP runner-up picked up where he leftoff last season. The Dodgers took three of fourfrom the Padres as Kemp hit .412 with a 1.212OPS and led the National League with six runsand tied for the lead with teammate AndreEthier with eight RBIs.

ROY HALLADAY, PHILADELPHIAThe Phillies’ ace took a step toward the NL CyYoung award with eight innings of shutout ballagainst the Pirates on Opening Day. Halladaydidn’t walk a batter and struck out five as theBucs managed just two singles off him.

DAY FOR THE AGED (ALMOST)On Saturday, 52-year-old golf legend Fred Cou-ples began the day with the lead at The Masters,looking to become the oldest player ever to winthe historic tournament. About 1,000 milesaway in Houston, 49-year-old Jamie Moyer tookthe mound for the Colorado Rockies in an at-tempt to become the oldest pitcher to win amajor league game. While it was a cool story fora while, the fun didn’t last. On Saturday, Cou-ples was plus-4 through five holes, essentiallyending his chances, although he rallied a bit inthe middle of his round before finishing with a3-over 75. And Moyer lasted just five innings,giving up four runs and taking a loss. Couplesmay never have another opportunity to play onthe weekend at Augusta, but Moyer will start onThursday for the Rockies against the Giants.

MARATHON IN CLEVELANDToronto and Cleveland set an Opening Dayrecord by playing 16 innings last Thursday. Twodays later, it took 12 innings to settle the score,giving both teams’ bullpens an early workoutthis season. Toronto’s 45-year-old OmarVizquel, who will see significant action at sec-ond, short and third this season, officiallyplayed two positions on Opening Day, left fieldand first base. It was strange left field position-ing, though. With one out and the bases loadedin the 12th, he replaced left fielder Eric Thamesbut was positioned as a fifth infielder. The Jaysturned two to get out of the inning. Vizquel fin-ished the game at first base. This was Vizquel’s2,909th game, but only his second as an out-fielder and second as a first baseman.

1. Rangers Josh Hamilton appears motivated to have a big season.2. Tigers Tigers bash Red Sox in opening sweep.3. Phillies Roy Halladay is as good as ever.

4. Yankees Panic in New York after 0-3 start? Nah.5. Cardinals Albert who? Redbirds hit their way to three quick wins.6. Rays This time last season the Rays were 0-3.7. Angels Need to find at-bats for Mark Trumbo.8. DiamondbacksOvercame six-run deficit to sweep rival Giants.9. Giants Knocked to the mat in first round vs. D’backs.

10. Red Sox Bobby V winless in Boston after first series.11. Nationals Adam LaRoche’s good health is great news for Nats.12. Blue Jays J.P. Arencibia comes up big for Jays.13. Braves Dominated by Mets.14. Marlins Opened new ballpark with a whimper.15. Dodgers Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier dynamic duo once again.16. Brewers Didn’t get revenge on St. Louis for NLCS.17. Reds Locking Joey Votto up long term is a huge boost.18. Indians Took Jays to extras twice before winning one.19. Rockies Michael Cuddyer happy in Colorado.20. Mariners Ichiro seems suited to hitting third.21. Pirates Stingy pitching in series vs. Philadelphia.22. Royals Eric Hosmer is truly a budding star.23. Cubs Homerless in first series, but had two triples and four steals.24. Orioles Jason Hammel latest shooting star for Baltimore.25. Mets Three wins, three saves for Francisco.26. Twins Listlessness continues.27. Padres Held Dodgers to .216 avg., but hit only .188 in first series.28. A’s Yoenis Cespedes showing off power early.29. White Sox Will be a long season for new manager Robin Ventura.30. Astros Houston starts planning for AL West already.

April 11, 1959Don Drysdale of the Los Angeles Dodgers hit thesecond Opening Day home run of his career, be-coming the only pitcher with two. His teammates didnothing to help as the Dodgers lost to the Cubs 6-1.

APRIL 11, 1961The Los Angeles Angels won for the first time intheir history, 7-2, at Baltimore as Ted Kluszewskiblasted two home runs.

APRIL 13, 1987The Padres pounced on Giants starter Roger Masonas the first three hitters of the game went deep.Marvell Wynne, Tony Gwynn and John Kruk eachhomered off Mason. San Diego cleanup hitter SteveGarvey followed with a flyout to center.

The New York Mets and HoustonAstros are celebrating their 50th an-niversaries as members of the NationalLeague. Both teams joined the seniorcircuit in 1962 in the days when rulesdid not favor expansion teams at all.There was no free agency, so expansionteams were built from the ground up. Itwasn’t until 1965 that MLB held itsfirst draft, so building teams fromscratch in the 1960s was a slowprocess.

The New York Mets lost their firstnine games in 1962, and that truly wasa sign of things to come. The team lost120 games that season, but that wasonly because two rainouts were notmade up. The team won just 40. Butsomehow manager Casey Stengelmade it all seem okay.

Over the next six seasons, the Metswould finish 10th in the NL four moretimes, climbing up to ninth twice. Thenthe magic started.

The 1969 Mets, led by a terrific start-ing staff that included Tom Seaver,took the baseball world by storm to thetune of 100 wins and shocked the heav-ily favored Baltimore Orioles in theWorld Series (just nine months after theJets shocked the Colts).

The Mets have reached the postsea-son seven times and won two WorldSeries, falling short in the NLCS threetimes and losing in the World Seriestwice.

The Astros’ path has not been asrocky. Houston, which began as theColt .45s before taking the name Astrosin 1965, has never been as bad as theMets were at their lowest, but neverreached the heights of the Mets either.

It wasn’t until last season when theAstros lost 106 games, that they man-aged to lose 100. Houston has reachedthe playoffs nine times, but only onceplayed in the World Series, losing tothe White Sox in 2005.

The Astros haven’t shied away from

being on the cutting edge with baseballand pushing the envelope. The Astroswere the first team to call a dome homewhen the Astrodome opened in 1965.After an ill-fated attempt to grow grass,Astroturf was installed. Suddenly theall-purpose, artificial surface stadiumfad was the rage.

Then came the uniforms. As if thesmoking gun on the jersey of the oldColt .45s weren’t enough, the Astrosintroduced the wild multi-colored hor-izontal striped uniforms in the 1970s.Fortunately the ’70s ended, and the As-tros returned to more appealing attire.

Both teams are likely to finish 2012in the same place in the standings wherethey spent most of the 1960s. But I sup-pose it’s appropriate that the two teamscelebrated their 25th anniversaries withthe most exciting NLCS in history.

Just a few highlights from the 1986NLCS:

Astro Mike Scott beat Doc Gooden1-0 with a five-hit shutout in Game 1.

The Mets hit .189 and slugged .264,and their 21 runs proved enough to winfour of the six games.

Lenny Dykstra hit a walkoff homerun in the bottom of the ninth in Game3 as Mets won 6-5.

Mets won Game 5 2-1 in 12 inningsafter Nolan Ryan went nine innings forthe Astros and Gooden 10 for the Mets.

And in the mother of all playoffgames, the Mets won Game 6, 7-6, in16 innings. New York scored threetimes in the ninth to force extra in-nings, then both teams scored in the14th before the Mets tallied three in the16th and Houston could muster onlytwo runs. The Mets used just fourpitchers in the game.

Reliever Jesse Orosco appeared infour games, garnering three wins forNew York.

OPENING DAY NOTESThe St. Louis Cardinals have had six

different Opening Day shortstops in thepast six years. Beginning with DavidEckstein in 2007, the Redbirds haveused Cesar Izturis, Khalil Greene, Bren-dan Ryan, Ryan Theriot and Rafael Fur-cal this season...Todd Helton of theColorado Rockies made his 15th Open-ing Day start, and is one of only twofirst basemen to open the season for theRockies (Andres Galarraga was theother). Helton now has hit in 13 straightOpening Day games, the longest activestreak...Can you name the last player toDH twice on Opening Day for the Ori-oles? If you said David Segui, giveyourself a pat on the back. Segui wasBaltimore’s DH in 2002 and ’04.Harold Baines (1994-95) was the last tomake back-to-back appearances, givingthe Orioles 16 Opening Day DHs in thelast 17 years.

Astros, Mets Celebrate 50 Years

TRIVIA ANSWER:Luis Sojo started forthe injured Jeter in 2001. Prior toJeter’s start in 1996, the Yankees hadfive Opening Day shortstops in fiveseasons: Tony Fernandez, Mike Gal-lego, Spike Owen, Randy Velarde andAlvaro Espinoza.
