performed the lung transplant on
Hatcher, and Jim Miller, a represen
tative for the UNC Medical
Foundation were among the play
ers. Working as a volunteer at the
tournament was Dr. James
Yankaskas, Hatcher’s personal
physician for 15 years.
Duke credited the success of the
tournament to many, including his
family. His wife and children, and
stepfather, Richard Curlee of Curlee
Machinery Co., Inc., who is also his
employer, were understanding and
supportive of Duke’s time away
from work and home.
“(Curlee) offered the businesses’
resources, blessing and support,
even when it took me away from
business responsibilities. He was
much more than understanding. He
deserves a great deal of credit,” he
said.
Duke said the Hatcher family and
the community at large were also
helpful.
“Dr. Hatcher and his son Greg
were very generous with their time
and personal efforts throughout the
six-month period leading up to the
tournament.
“Their involvement with this tour
nament was comparable to the ded
ication the Hatcher family had for
Mike during his struggle with CF,”
Duke said.
Mrs. Hatcher added, “I am just
overwhelmed by the tournament’s
success and the wonderful partici
pation of so many."
All players in the tournament
received a shirt and miscellaneous
gifts donated by BB&T and Glaxo.
The tournament boasted auction
items of two round-trip tickets to
anywhere in the world with United
Airlines and sports memorabilia
from universities.
Prizes were the same for winners
on both courses. First prize winners
received: A two-night/three-day
stay at Myrtle Beach including three
free rounds of golf, and a set of cus
tom-made bags for each player.
Second place winners received four
free rounds of golf at Mill Creek
Golf and Country Club in Mebane,
a new driver, and an all-day Gulf
Stream fishing trip. Third-place
winners received an all-day Gulf
Stream fishing trip. Tournament

Resident defends
Silver-Smith
A local resident chided the town
board at its July 14 meeting to “lay
off” Commissioner Mark Silver-
Sr.iith.
During a public comment period,
Mark Wisener said, Silver-Smith
was doing the job citizens asked
him to do.
“We didn’t ask him to be tactful,
but to do a job. It seems it’s him
against the rest of the board,” he
said.
Mayor Pro-tem Billy Sauls
responded by saying, “What do you
mean lay off? I didn’t know we
were on him. He seems to be
against us, not us against him.” ,

Ward passed along some informa
tion to Mrs. Broadwell, particularly
about a garden in Denver, Colo.,
which “seems to be what might be
similar to what she has in mind. It’s
an open area where they have small
shrubs and flowers that would
attract butterflies. There are picnic
tables nearby for school kids or for
civic groups to come and visit.”
Ward and Buzz Bryson, CP&L's
wetlands expert, looked at the site
last Tuesday to determine if it was in
a wetland area, which would pre
clude any kind of development that
would disturb the soil. Ward report
ed that there is plenty of land that is
not in a wetland area, and that a but
terfly garden is a feasible project for
the site.
No more than one to two acres of
the original seven-acre town hall
site would be used for a butterfly
garden.
Of course, Morrisville’s butterfly
garden would be a three-season gar
den, without much activity in the
winter months. Other butterfly gar
dens in colder climates are built
indoors.
“There are many combinations of
native and ornamental plants,
shrubs, and perennials, that would
grow very well here in the
Morrisville area that would attract
butterflies,” Ward said.
For example, there is a shrub
called butterfly bush or Buddleia
and a flower called butterfly weed,
“a perennial herbaceous plant with
orange flowers that grows along
roadsides here,” Ward said.
Those two are particularly attrac
tive to the Monarch butterfly, along
with milkweeds. Swallowtails like
fennel, dill, parsley, and Queen
Anne’s Lace.
The yellow, sulfur butterfly could
be attracted to clovers, Ward said.
The Painted Lady is attracted to
daisies, asters and thistles, among
other plants.
Other butterflies may be attracted
to sunflowers, coreopsis, bee balm.
Black-eyed Susans, and phlox.
Not only do different plants attract
different butterflies, but the larvae
that feed upon the vegetation are
attracted only to one or two particu
lar species. Ward said.
“By having a mixture, a diversity,
you get a range of butterflies in the
area,”
Mrs. Broadwell said she was wait
ing to hear about the feasibility of
using the sife before she started
thinking about raising funds.
There will have to be a landscaper
or contractor to actually put in the
plantings, and there may be some
maintenance cost involved. Ward
will assist the landscaper or contrac
tor in choosing the plants for the

The main emphasis of the week
was the “day camps” at two camp
grounds.
Vacationing parents had the oppor
tunity to leave their children for two
hours each morning, and the First
Baptist group put on a mini Vacation
Bible School with puppets, crafts,
bible stories and games.
They slept in 10 cabins, 1 camper
and three tents at the KOA camp
ground in Cherokee.
“With so many people, there were
different personalities,” said
Virginia Langdon. “We had some
conflicts, camping out, having to be
up early, and keeping a tough sched
ule.”
“People took their vacation time,
when they could have been resting,”
said Tonya Yandle, “It was a tough
schedule and a lot of hard work
involved,” she said.
Mrs. Langdon said, “I believe that
is why we were so blessed, because
of the sacrifices made. The more
sacrifices, the more He blesses us.”
“I don’t believe I could have taken
any vacation to be any more inspir
ing,” said Bill Sanders, 61.
There were three “windows” of
free time. Several members of the
group went tubing on Sunday after
noon and Whitewater rafting on
Monday afternoon.
Another group went to see the out
door drama “Unto These Hills” on
Friday night.
But other than that it was back-to-
back puppet shows and skits and
programs. The group also did two
Sunday morning worship services at
the KOA and Yogi Bear camp
grounds.
The high spot for many was on
Tuesday afternoon a visit to the Job
Corps Center where about 70 juve
nile offenders were seated inside a
gymnasium.
“They told us to expect the peo
ple to boo us,” said Sarah Perry,
one of the youth. “But some of
these kids knew the chorus to On-
Time God, and they sang along
with us.” There were three people
saved that day.
Now that they are back home, the
group hopes to do a back yard
Bible School program similar to
the program put on at the camp
grounds. They have signed up to
do a puppet show at the N.C. State
Fair in October, and they are look
ing for other opportunities to do
mission outreach around home.
And they are already making plans
to take another mission trip next
year.
