Additionally, in another county project, the old Stonewall commu nity building was torn down and rebuilt in the same location. The new building is nearly ready for a grand opening and open house in early February, officials reported. The county is also preparing for a bid opening in the second week of February for the new E-911 center. Robbery. (Continued from page lA ) placed a call to Domino’s Pizza the night of January 15. When a pizza delivery driver attempted to deliver the order to the 100 block of Yadkin Trail, two men approached him, and the driver heard a shotgun being “racked.” The suspects took keys, money, pizzas and the pizza bag and fled the scene on foot, reports said. Authorities suspect Hines and the unknown subject placed the pizza delivery order so they could commit the robbery in an area that is poorly lit and sometimes secluded after dark. The Raeford Police Department credited the DistrictAttomey’soffice with assisting in the investigation. Correction The News-Journal incorrectly identified the office that maintains divorce records.

National Guard member and veterans services representa tive Jenny Hartsock and other Hagan staffers attended the meeting and took down infor mation from people seeking help navigating federal agency services. Others in the crowd sought advice about funding for projects or agencies. Non profit organizer Shirley Hart asked the senator about possible funding for the Tia Hart Community Recovery program. County Manager Tim Johnson asked Hagan about funding for the county’s infrastructure and library, particularly sewer proj ect funds from the United States Department of Agriculture. “We’ve still got the big project that we need funding for, and we’re in the process, we’ve al ready hid out the Phase V, that’s with USDA funding. But my big thing was to get them to make a phone call. There’s no problems but it doesn’t hurt to have your senator call them and say yeah, we want them to have that,” Johnson said. Hagan, identified as a “rank- and-file Democrat” by nonparti san vote and bill sponsor tracker GovTrack, said she hopes to work with Republicans and Democrats on legislation for funding infra structure needs. “There is some funding we can provide for those issues but usu ally it’s nev er enough,” she said. “That’s why we need, as Congress, we need to work togeth er, Demo crats and Re publicans, to help solve these issues and not keep kicking the can down the road.” Hagan also touted her support for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education. “We need to make wise in vestments and I think we’ve got to focus on education, we’ve got to invest in education and we’ve got to invest in STEM education, because those are the jobs of the future, the science, technology, engineering and math,” she said. “We need to have a strong pre-K to 12th grade, but we really look at community colleges for the train ing for our workforce. We want to be sure they have those portable industry-recognized credentials for jobs of the 21st century.” Hagan, who defeated incum bent Sen. Elizabeth Dole in the 2008 election, will be up for reelection in 2014. Commissioners Ellen McNeill (left to right) and James Leach, with Hagan, and William Hollingsworth.

Yes, we know it’s been nag ging you ever since you heard about 3-D printing. Can a printer attached to a computer really print an object, such as a crescent wrench that can actually be used to tighten a nut? The video on YouTube shows it, but video and photos can be faked. Just like the Apollo 11 lunar landing, which we all—or at least 20% of us, according to surveys—know was faked with Photoshop in a ware house in Roswell, New Mexico. Or perhaps 3-D prints are being imitated, like certain appendages of certain celebrities. Inquiring minds want to know. So to find out, we first created a small airplane in a 3-D draw ing program, Google Sketchup, which has the learning curve of romance but is free, and since we lack the research budget of a government, were stuck with it. Noble as we are in the aid of science, the project also had the goal of replacing a crude proto type of the plane, which had been flying on the antenna of a pickup truck for six or seven years. The first model was made of a Sprite can fashioned into the plane, sta pled together and drilled through the center so it would rise up on the antenna of the truck when it reached an airspeed of about 25 miles per hour. After metal fatigue set in from years of flying through all sorts of weather and enduring Raeford’s thousand-percent sum mer humidity, we created a second version, made from a printing plate. It too flew for several years but was beginning to look nasty Help Save Lives START Bring in your current bank statement and let us show you how to save money by making the switch to Free Business Checking.

If we could design the plane in a 3-D program, we could upload the file to a company with a 3-D printer, pay them a handsome sum, wait two weeks, and get back a plastic version of what we’d seen on the computer screen. Their printer’s head would move across a bed of plastic powder, squirting microscopic drops of resin onto each bit of powder until, with thousands of passes, the object would be formed a tiny layer at a time. Conclusion: it’s real. What began as a computer file arrived in a box Friday. (It cost $46. A stainless steel version was offered for only $230.) After two coats of acrylic paint, a hole drilled through its center and its ugly tail hack sawed off, the plane flew its maiden voyage Saturday, lifting off at exactly 25 m.p.h. It’s dura bility will be determined in a few years. Or maybe days. Depending on its.. .um... durability. Anyway, in our next episode we’ll use an inclinometer to determine which is the best sled ding hill in Hoke County, should it ever snow.
