turns to fright. My granddaughter's
fear of him brought back a delicious
memory. This child's own mother,
my daughter, had also showed her
fear of Santa w hen she was just a little
older than her daughter is now. It was
at that now long ago Christmastime
that her mother and I had persuaded
her to gi\e up her pacifier.
We told her that when Santa came
to bring her presents, he would, in
exchange, come into her room while
she was sleeping, and take her paci-
liei back to the North Pole.
l.ater that Christmas Eve night, we
heard the door to my daughter’s room
open and then the thuds of her feet
movingdeliberately towards the stairs.
As 1 rushed up to find out what was
wrong, I saw her heave her pacifier
down the stairs. Then, as she turned
around and raced towards her room, 1
heard her mutter, "I don’t want Santa
to come in my room!”
Wrestling with these kinds of con
verging memories about his parents
and children, Updike says of his
mother and father, "I become in my
memory their parent, looking down
and precociously grieving for them."

on Old Maxton Road.
By Vk'ioriana Summi-.ks
Staff writer
It was a narrow escape for Carlos
Felipe Montalvo Reyes last Thursday
w'hen the side of his vehicle ended up
almost wrapped around a utility pole
on Qld Maxton Road. The 2()-year-
old driver was trapped in the vehicle
until rescue workers extricated him.
Noothervehicleswere involved in
the wreck. Traffic had to be diverted
for more than 30 minutes because
power lines loomed lower after the
impact.
Reyes, of Old Red Springs Road,
Red Springs, was traveling at a high
rate of speed, causing the one-car
smash-up, according to recordsofthe
N.C. Highway Patrol.
Trooper F.K. ('rumpler cited
Montalvo Reyes forcarele.ss and reck
less driving, reporting there was no
indication of alcohol use b\ the mo
torist.
According to Crumpler, MontaK ir
Reyes lost control because he was
driving in the southbound lane at a
h i gh ra t e of speed. 11 i s \ e h i c I e sw e r\ ed
in a curx’e to the right with his 1997
VW ending up on the northbound
shoulder of the road. 11 is driver's door
was crushed, wedging the vehicle to
the utility pole. The back window s
glass was shattered, and the roof of he
vehicle re.sembled a pyramid shape
due to the impact.
Medics from FirstHealth EMS of
the Carolinas responded immediately
to the scene, along with the Hoke
('ounty Rescue Squad, area volunteer
firefighters, Hoke Animal Control
Supervisor Jimmy Carthens, and the
Hoke Sheriffs Office.
\fter being removed from the ve
hicle, MontaK o Reyes appeared to be
alert with reportedly minor injuries.
He was transported to FirstHealth
Moore Regional Hospital where he
was treated.

Like Updike, I find that the expe
riences and memories of this Christ
mas season make me feel asif I am my
parents, parent and my children's
child. Unlike Updike, for me, this
mystical seasonal experience of be
ing both parent and child, both grand
parent and grandchild, is rich and full
of joy.
