FILE FOR ANOTHER TERM

PEMBROKE--The Robeson County
Board of Elections officially opened its
books for candidates to file in the
upcoming municipal elections Friday,
Sept. 11.
Incumbent Councilman Milton Hunt
wasted no time in registering his intent
to seek another term to the Pembroke
Town Council. Hunt, a life-long resident
of Pembroke, was the first candidate to
file in the Pembroke race which will
decide on a mayor and two council seats.
In announcing his candidacy. Hunt
stated: "I would like to express my
sincere appreciation to the citizens of
Pembroke for allowing me this privilege
and honor of serving them for the past
six years. In spite of the economic crunch
we have been experiencing nationally
and locally, I feel that Pembroke has
made significant progress socially, eco
nomically and politically over the last
several years." Hunt pointed to tighter
manae--*icnt of existing resources, and
the bringing in of federal dollars to fund
community improvement programs as
some of the key elements of holding the
Pembroke budget at a stable level.
He cited Pembroke's community de
velopment grant, received from H.U.D.
in 1981, as the most notable ac
complishment in the area of economic
development and community improve
ment in the history of the town. Said he,
"I'm committed to the-concept of bring
ing back to Pembroke its fair share of
federal and state monies. I'm confident
that with our good track record of
program performance our efforts in this
area will continue to be fruitful, bringing
about a higher standard of living for our
citizens."
Hunt, while stressing the need for
federal and state grants, made it clear
that the brunt of municipal operations
must be carried locally. Says Hunt, "By
instituting tight budget controls and
>g with fiscal constraint, we have
been able to accomplish more with less
money as inflation has eaten into the
value of our dollar. These monetary
constraints have helped us to hold the
line on the coat of services and the level
of taxes to our citisens, while at the same
time we have completed many improve
ments with local dollars, in the anas of
streets, new street signs, reorganisation
of the recreation department (Little
League), Town Park, cable T.V., a new
courthouse, water and sewer improve
ments and a new public works building
which la saving the taxpayer money.
Hunt, who is martted to the former

IJ and Klmbotly, 10. A drywail con

If a tie is like kissing your sister, the
first taste of victory must be pure
sweetness for the Pembroke Warriors
after shutting out the Red Springs Red
Devils 15-0 last Friday night. Following 2
consecutive ties with South Robeson and
Orrum, the Varsity Warriors put it all
together behind an offensive unit that
rolled up 240 yards and a defensive unit
that held the Red Devils to just 9 first
downs and forced four turnovers.
Pembroke wasted no time as they
stopped Red Springs' opening drive on
four plays and then drove 60 yards on 14
plays to score on Greg Smith's two yard
plunge. On the extra point attempt, the
Warriors faked the kick with holder Devy
Bell tossing a strike to Steve Jacobs for a
two point conversion.
In the second half after the first drive
stalled, the Pembroke defense forced the
Red Devils to fumble near the Red
Springs 40 yard line. Five plays later
quartetback Anthony Lockiear ran it in
from the 10 yard line. Dwayne Lock!ear's
extra point brought the score to 15-0 and
it was all over for the Red Devils. Their
remaining three possessions ended with
a fumble, an incomplete pass on fourth
down, and an interception as the Warrior
defense again proved themselves.
The one spur in the Warriors' side all
night was the scrambling style of the Red
Springs' quarterback who rushed for
better than 80 yards. Other Ulan this the
defensive unit time and time again
managed to stop the Red Devils' drives.
Statistically, the Warrior offense had a
balanced attack. Running backs Michael
McCartney and Greg Smith ran for 64
and 77 yards, respectively, with Smith
scoring one touchdown. Quarterback
Anthony Lockiear rushed seven times for
28 yards and one touchdown while
passing eight times with four com
pletions and 42 yards.
