2 - The Morrisviile and Preston Progress, Wednesday, October 25,1995 Veterans vie for mayor’s post; newcomers eye District 3 seat Continued from page 1 has not always treated us fairly in the past, and now we are even more dependent on them." But both agree on the need for another Are station and adequate staff and equipment to protect ex pected growth. They also agree on the inadequacy of the police depart ment building off Church Street and the need for larger quarters. Sauls and his wife, Wilma, live at 3611 Davis Drive. They have three daughters: Sharon Barber of Mor risviile, Rhonda Talton of Apex, and Karen Sauls of the home. He is from Wayne County and graduated from Eureka High School. He has been a resident of Morrisviile since 1983. Mrs. Broadwell and her husband, Jerry, live at 109 Stella Court, Mor risviile, and have two children, Jar- rett, 12, and Shannon, 8. She gradu ated from Cary High School with honors in 1967, completed training at a beauty school in London, and attended St. Mary’s College. A resident of Morrisviile for 11 years, she is a native of Richmond, Va. While experience marks the race for mayor, political newcomers compete for the District 3 seat. For the past six years it has been held by Commissioner Bill Ufferman, who is not seeking re-election. Mark Silver-Smith, 47, a part- time salesman with Western Auto in Raleigh, is the former owner of a commercial printing on Long Is land, N.Y. Hiis is his first run for public office. A former member of the Town’s Planning and Zoning Board, Silver- Smith was recently replaced on that body by the Board of Com missioners. He has publicly alleged that he was not re^pointed be cause of political reasons, but Sauls denied the charges. Silver-Smith says he wants "to be part of the town’s growing process" and asserts that his "business back ground and experience gained over the years will be an asset when I do beccane a commissioner. "I really enjoy Uving in a town like Morrisviile where the people know each other, and a lot of people in town have been a great help to me," he says. "So let me emphasize the town is my first con cern. My heart is in the right direc tion." His opponent, Rosemary Johnson, is 47 is a supervisor at Lowes Food Store in Cary. She has livetJ in Morrisviile for five and a Deer often pose threat to pumkin crop Continued from page 1 paratively new problem growers have to contend with these days. "The deer population has in creased and caused about $2,000 worth of damage to the pumpkin crop this year," he says while point ing to several of the large pumpkins marred by holes or bruises. "Hie deer had kicked or chewed them like that in the field before we were able to harvest." "The frost is on the pumpkin” is a saying which aops up this time of the year. "When you hear someone say the frost is on the pumpkin, you can be sure that pumpkin will be oozing and collapsing when the thermometer climbs above freezing later in the day," Phillips points out. "Hiey can’t take cold weather, but will survive outside if given cover." Pumpkins are planted in the spring to mature in the fall. They like a high and dry location, preferably a sloping area where ex cess water can drain off. But they have one quality most other summer farm crops don’t have. They can handle a drought. While other crops may suffer from a lack of rainfall, the pumpkin will mature beautifully. The orange gourd-size types are selling for about three for a dollar (about the size of baseball) to $10 for mammoths (bigger than basket- Soccer becoming a marketing tool for realtors Continued from page 1 "We keep being asked about our program by local realtors," says Bill Wynne, executive director of CASL (Capital Area Soccer League), a non-profit organization incorporated in 1974 to promote soccer in Apex, Cary, Raleigh and surrounding areas in Wake County. Today it is the largest volunteer or ganization in Wake County, with l,5()0 volunteers. Wynne says families moving into this part of the state want to know about the local youth soccer pro gram. "It became one of the five most-asked questions by prospec tive residents," says Wynne, "so we printed a brochure explaining the program and supplied it to realtws." A retired Army colonel, Wynne was selected two years ago from some 170 applicants for the job of executive director. His older son played in college, and his personal involvement started years ago when he helped coach a youth team. He progressed to coaching the team and later coached soccer in high school and college. Today, CASL has more than 11,000 youngsters registered. The number of boys and girls from Apex and Cary alone taking part is more than 4,300. "There were 2,000 boys and girls registered with CASL in 1979,” Wynne says. "The tremendous growth to what it is today is closely associated with the rapid growth in the Triangle area." !

She has a son, Ryan James, who is 13. Among her list of priorities is get ting youth involved in the com munity. "I’m running because I want to help the town grow," she says. "I want to get involved with the people." Nfrs. Johnson says she wants to see a better balance between the number of businesses and residence. "I’m afraid if it gets too many businesses, it will be a place to work instead of residences and make it hard to call it our town. There isn’t a better roadside at traction for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Last year, Mrs. Phil lips and her sister, Betty Hockaday, who lives next door, carved out more than SO pumpkins, lighted them with candles, and used them as Halloween displays in front of their homes. "It was a lot of work,” says Mrs. Phillips. "I’m not sure whether we’U do it again this year." But jack-o’-lanterns or not, you’re assured of a colorful show for the rest of the fall.
