Hoke-Cumberland group
receives award for film
A film produced by the North
Carolina Citizens Commission on
Alternatives to Incarceration,
which serves Hoke County, has
received the second place award in
the American Correctional
Association's (ACA) annual Na
tional Film Festival.
. The award was presented last
month at the 1 15th Congress of
Correction in New York City to
Judge Willis P. Whichard of the
North Carolina Court of Appeals,
who chaired the Commission.
. Much of the film was shot in
Fayetteville and highlights the
work of the Fayetteville Area
Sentencing Center, which designs
and implements community
punishment plans for selected non
violent offenders in Cumberland
and Hoke counties.
The award-winning film, entitl
ed "The Best We Can Do?",
depicts two different responses to
non-violent crime: prison and a
community-based alternative
punishment. It contrasts a non
violent offender, who goes to
prison, is fully supported by tax
dollars, and contributes little to
himself, his family, or his com
munity, with another offender
who is placed on a structured
punishment plan designed by the
Fayetteville Area Sentencing
Center which involves work,
restitution and community service.

Highland Games on tap Sat.
Re-live a part of history and
come join in all the family fun of
the Flora Macdonald Highland
Games.
Being held this weekend, the set
ting again this year is the Hum
phrey farm located four miles out
* side of Red Springs just off
Highway 71 in Shannon.
Highland Games are an
outgrowth of a tradition started in
Scotland hundreds of years ago
when it is thought informal athletic
tests were held by kings and clan
chiefs to choose the best men
available for their forces. Today's
Highland Games still include
athletic events and in addition
there are competitions in highland
dancing, individual piping and
drumming, and pipe bands.
The Flora Macdonald Highland
Games evolved out of a 1974
American Revolution Bicentennial
Celebration held locally and then
known as "Colonial Muster."
It was to be held each year
through 1976 in celebration of the
nation's bicentennial. The interest
proved so great that it was decided
that a non-profit organization be
formed to continue the annual
event; thus Flora Macdonald
Highland Games, Inc., was form
ed and this is the ninth year that
the celebration has continued
under that name.
The gates will open for this
year's Flora Macdonald Highland
Games at 9 a.m. on Saturday. Dur
ing the day visitors can enjoy arts
and crafts sales and demonstra
tions, Scottish vendor booths,
Revolutionary War encampment,
Scottish clan tests and refreshment
stands.
Spirited athletic competitions
will begin at noon on Saturday and
on Sunday there will be a
demonstration of the athletic
games beginning at 1:30 p.m.
Competitions in highland danc
ing will begin at 9:30 a.m. on
Saturday shortly after the gates
open for the first day with kilt-clad
entrants competing for prizes.
At 11 a.m. Saturday opening
ceremonies will be held with mass
ed pipe bands providing music and
color. That afternoon there will be
a pipe band competition as well as
individual competition in piping
and drumming.
Dr. Gib McLaughlin of Indiana,
Pennsylvania, back for the third
year, will put his sheep dogs
through their routines in two
demonstrations on Saturday and
one on Sunday afternoon. Using
hand signals and voice commands,
Dr. McLaughlin will show how the
Highlander depended on his dogs
to help care for his sheep.
Over 200 years ago the battles of
Raft Swamp and McPhaul's Mill
took place near Red Springs. On
both Saturday and Sunday one can
see their re-enactment featuring
uniformed participants depicting
the conflict between British and
American forces using realistic
sounding muzzle-loaded guns.
On Sunday the Kirkin of the
Tartans will be celebrated at II
a.m. at the Philadelphus
Presbyterian Church.
Following the service there will
be a catered picnic lunch on the
church grounds by The Eatery in
Red Springs. The cost is $2.75 per
person. Advance reservations for
the picnic lunch are required and
more information on this can be
obtained by contacting Tommy
Ammons at 843-4139 or The Flora
Macdonald Highland Games, P.O.
Box 547, Red Springs, NC 28377.
The 10,000 meter road run
scheduled for Sunday afternoon
has been cancelled. Ammons said
that lack of participation had
resulted in the decision not to have
the race this year.
There are children's games
scheduled for Saturday afternoon
and lots of other family entertain
ment. The gates open at 9 a.m. on
Saturday and at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
There's plenty of parking. Bring

lunch and enjoy all the activities.
