Red Line
revisited
Leaders discuss new
funding strategies for
commuter rail
HUNTERSVILLE – Lake Norman
leaders are not letting a lack of federal
funding derail their support to establish
a commuter rail from Charlotte to
Mooresville.
A consultant told the Lake Norman
Transportation Commission on Wednesday,
Dec. 8, that funding
would come easier if the
Red Line’s trains were to
also move freight across
the corridor.
Not only could residential
development be
built along the stops to
attract riders, but the
rail also could lure business
and industry, giving
Norfolk Southern
more incentive to help
upgrade railroad tracks.
“It’s essentially going
to upgrade this facility
to international standards
for a 50- to 100-
year lifetime,” said Paul

Jeter
Husemann
Morris, president and principal consultant
for Raleigh-based Greenleaf Strategies.
“That will make it possible for Norfolk
Southern to substantially increase
their footprint if – and this is a big if –
they actually have places to spur the train
cars and pick up and drop off goods.”
Huntersville Commissioner Charles

Mooresville leaders concerned over alcohol control
by Justin Vick
editor@mooresvilleweekly.com
MOORESVILLE – State privatization
of ABC stores could result in sobering
consequences for Mooresville, according
to town officials.
Town Manager Steve Husemann expressed
his concerns during the Monday,
Dec. 6, commissisioners meeting.
Mooresville receives about $628,000 in
profits from alcohol sales, shared among
the town’s general fund, police department
and schools.
“The obvious concern here is that because
of some things that have happened
in different parts of the state, there’s been
a lot of talk at the statewide level about
changing the way the ABC system works,”
Husemann said. “The ABC system is alive
and well here in Mooresville. It doesn’t really
need any changes.”
Mitchell Mack, chairman of the
Mooresville ABC Board, said stores are
run efficiently and effectively. In fact, the
town ranks 20 th in profitability among the
state’s more than 160 systems, he said.
Commissioner Chris Carney credited
the Mooresville ABC Board for its efficiency.
“Taxpayers owe you a big thank you because
that means we all get more money
in the general fund to help operate programs,”
Carney said.
ABC stores also give police additional
office space, allowing officers to respond
to incidents faster, added Commissioner
Thurman Houston.
Mooresville Police Chief Carl Robbins
said his staff has a good relationship with
local ABC stores.
“Aside from the money, they are responsive
to our needs,” Robbins said. “They
actually call us and ask us if we need
things.”
When one of his officers first used office
space at the ABC Store off Exit 33, he
said it was nice, but needed a phone. One
was installed the very next day.
“If they leave it to the state, I don’t think
they’ll have that kind of responsiveness,”
Robbins said.
Gov. Beverly Perdue signed a bill in
July that sought more accountability and
transparency among local ABC boards,
following reports in November 2009 that
Mecklenburg County’s former ABC Board
chairman and his staff were treated to a
dinner tab of more than $12,000.
“We have had far too many embarrassing
stories over the past year about how
some of our local ABC operations are run,”
Perdue said in news release issued by her
office in July. “Local ABC boards, and the
elected officials who appoint them, will
have to answer for how well they run the
business with which they have been entrusted.”
Husemann told commissioners that
there is no action pending, but they need
to ensure nothing comes out of Raleigh
that might jeopardize an important program
to the town.
News
Leaders briefly talk finances
Commissioner Rhett Dusenbury read
the first five paragraphs from a New York
Times story, entitled “Mounting debts by
states stoke fears of crisis.”
Dusenbury’s reading illustrated that,
while cuts have been made to local budgets
in the short term, debt carried into
the long term could put governments at
risk.
“The only point I’m making is we’re in
tough times, and we’re trying to do our
part to save money for the town,” Dusenbury
said. “We’re all in a fix.”
He pointed to the budget retreat commissioners
had a few weeks ago as one
of the ways the town is trying to plan for
emerging costs for the next fiscal year.
Maia Setzer, the town’s finance officer,
told commissioners that Mooresville
reported a higher general fund balance,
about $1.4 million more for October 2010
than in October 2009.
Sales and property tax revenues are
coming in at a faster rate, as well.
Dusenbury asked Setzer about the feasibility
of posting employee salaries on the
town’s website. “I mean, it’s their money,”
he said, noting that a resident brought the
request to his attention. Setzer replied that
the pay schedules can be found on the annual
budget, which can be viewed online.
Pages 305 to 309 in the budget show minimum
and maximum salaries for various
positions, depending on experience.
For example, an employee classified as
a first-level building/grounds maintenance
technician, customer service assistant,
sanitation technician or street maintenance
technician could make between
$24,342 to $38,069. On the other end of
the spectrum, the town’s fire and police
chiefs could make between $72,088 and
$112,741.
Rules on racey businesses
Commissioners took a hard stance on
sexually oriented businesses, pushing
them 1,000 feet away from homes, religious
institutions, schools and daycares.
Staff had brought a text amendment before
the board, seeking to update text in
the sexually oriented business ordinance
adopted in 2002 to better coincide with
state statutes.
But commissioners didn’t stop with text
amendments. They moved the required
distance between a sexually oriented business
from residential zones, religious institutions,
schools and daycares from 500 to
1,000 feet.
The Mooresville Planning Board recommended
that same increase at its Nov.
10 meeting, but staff concluded that doing
so could subject the town to a legal
challenge. q

Mooresville Fire and
Rescue awarded
$10,000 grant
MOORESVILLE – Liberty Mutual
presented Mooresville Fire and Rescue a
$10,000 grant on Monday, Dec. 6, at the
Town of Mooresville Board of Commissioner’s
meeting.
Liberty Mutual kicked off its Be Fire
Smart Safety Pledge in September. As one
of its fire safety initiatives, the pledge program
awards 10 grants of $10,000 to local
fire departments across the country in communities
that show a strong commitment to
fire safety.
“I am a native of this area as well as born
and raised,” said Charles Parker of Liberty
Mutual Insurance. “My office is also located
in Mooresville, so this was a great opportunity
for me to help out the community and
give back in several different ways.”
Mooresville Fire and Rescue encouraged
members of the community to take
a 10-question online quiz that tested their
knowledge of fire safety. Each quiz was then
credited to Mooresville Fire and Rescue.
At the end of the 60-day promotion period,
Mooresville Fire and Rescue finished fourth
in the nation within the medium-size department
category.
According to Shane LaCount, assistant
fire chief, the department will use the grant
money to purchase two Sparky the Fire
Dogs costumes to spread the message of fire
safety to children.
In addition the department will start a
new community program that provides
weather alert radios to senior citizens and
other facilities.
Fire Chief Wes Greene thanked the community
for its participation in the online
survey. ❑

MI-Connection mum on BVU
agreement, monthly financials
by Justin Vick
editor@mooresvilleweekly.com
MOORESVILLE – During his Dec.
6 report to town commissioners, MI-
Connection General Manager Alan
Hall didn’t acknowledge the announcement
his company made four days
prior that it was seeking more control
from its Virginia-based operator.
MI-Connection signed a memorandum
of understanding with Bristol
Virginia Utilities on Dec. 1 that would
shift BVU from operator to service
vendor. The transition, expected to be
completed in the second half of 2011,
would reduce MI-Connection’s annual
fee owed to BVU by $1.2 million and
move departments like finance and human
resources in-house.
But instead of talking about what
this means for the town, Hall spent
much of his monthly report telling
commissioners about the company’s
recent audit and ongoing marketing
efforts.
Commissioner Miles Atkins said he
appreciated hearing those updates, but
the message leaders wanted to convey
to the public was how the agreement
with BVU gives MI-Connection more
control of the town’s cable and telecommunications
system.
“The progress that we can make with
this system being locally operated is
going to be significant,” Atkins said.
The only other acknowledgement
during Monday’s meeting came when
Commissioner Rhett Dusenbury commended
colleagues Chris Carney and
Atkins for their work on the agreement.
The previous month’s financial numbers,
which are typically discussed at
Davidson and Mooresville town board
meetings, were absent, as well.
Hall told commissioners that the
company recently hired a new program
manager who is helping the reconciliation
between old and new billing systems.
As a result, Hall wasn’t able to
show financial 1/16 numbers (v) to his board of
directors at their recent meeting, and

Correction
A story in the Nov. 26-Dec. 2 edition
of Mooresville Weekly incorrectly
stated MI-Connection’s net assets
(deficit) as its net loss. MI-Connection
reported a net loss of $6.17 million
and net assets (deficit) of $15 million
in 2010.
he didn’t want to present those numbers
to the public before his board saw
them.
Hall did review highlights from an
audit conducted by accounting firm
Dixon Hughes, pointing to a “very
little adjustment” from the unaudited
numbers he presented to commissioners
in July. Those numbers were just
$28,000 off from the audit.
While MI-Connection reported a
$6.17 million net loss, Hall pointed to
an increase in earnings before interest,
depreciation and amortization (known
as EBIDA) from $312,000 in 2009 to
$1.2 million in 2010.
EBIDA also increased by $407,000,
or 166.1 percent, when comparing the
first quarters of 2010 and 2011.
“We’re definitely trending in the
right direction, and we need to keep
that going forward,” Hall said.
On the marketing front, MI-Connection
has sent out letters signed by
Hall and Mayor Chris Montgomery to
customers explaining how the company
is an important part of the community.
And 15 groups have enrolled
in the Connect My (Blank) campaign,
which enables new subscribers to earn
up to $75 for community organizations
of their choice.
Hall told commissioners that MI-
Connection lost two apartment complexes
to competition: Marina Shores
in Cornelius and Talbert Woods in
Mooresville. That prompted Montgomery
to request a breakdown of
contracts with apartment complexes
among MI-Connection and its competitors.
When asked by Commissioner Mac
Herring if he had any positive news
to share, Hall told them what he told
Mooresville Weekly last month – that
the company had signed up 52 commercial
revenue-generating units
in the first quarter of the fiscal year.
That’s the equivalent of 162 residential
customers.
He also shared customer service and
technical support data for November:
• MI-Connection answered 5,140
customer service calls in an average
time of 1 minute and 33 seconds. Response
time was 1 second slower than
October’s average, but 69 seconds
faster than September’s average.
• MI-Connection answered 2,534
tech support calls in an average time of
2 minutes and 14 seconds. Response
time was 1 second slower than October’s
average, but 50 seconds faster
than September’s average and 105 seconds
faster than August’s average. q

The Crime Scene
This week’s bulletins from Mooresville police
Sheriff’s office: NY man
impersonated officer to
sway judge
MOORESVILLE – The Iredell County
Sheriff’s Office arrested and accused a New
York man on Nov. 19 for
impersonating a law enforcement
officer to intimidate
a judge.
Kris Edward Snyder,
46, of Vestal N.Y., was arrested
in court when he
appeared to answer domestic
violence charges.
In September, Judge
Snyder
Deborah Brown reported to the Iredell
County Sheriff’s Office that she had received
a letter and photograph from
someone claiming to be with the sheriff’s
office.
The letter claimed there was an FBI investigation
involving the judge, the sheriff’s
office and a woman involved in domestic
violence cases Brown had presided over.
But wording and allegations in the letter
seemed suspicious and not consistent
with any law enforcement officer, according
to the sheriff’s office.
The judge also received phone calls
from a man claiming to be an FBI agent
who spoke about the same woman. The
man claiming to be an agent attempted to
influence the judge’s decision by implying
she could be arrested by the FBI if she did
do certain things, the sheriff’s office said.
Detective Lt. Andy Poteat was assigned
to investigate the case. It was determined
that Snyder, who had been the focus of
the letter and calls, had charges pending
in Iredell County Superior Court.
In those cases, Snyder had been charged
multiple times for violation of a domestic
violence order, forgery, felony breaking
and entering and felony possession of cocaine.
Snyder was charged with two counts
impersonating a law enforcement officer
and three counts of obstruction of justice.

For the better part of the last decade, Elishah has been changing the
way Christian rock is viewed in the western regions of North Carolina.
After several stylistic changes, a lot of prayer and practice, and more
than a little help from producer/mentor Ricky Rodriguez (Bombhouse
Studios), the members of Elishah have brought something new to the
ears of their listeners, most notable in their latest release, Nothing’s
Broken (Jan. 2009).
From the opening track to the final note of Nothing’s Broken, any
listener can hear the passionate heartbeat of a generation starving
for a better relationship with Jesus Christ. Through soaring melodies,
energetic harmonies, and a new lyrical depth, Elishah has laid the
groundwork for a signature sound that will surely shed light on the
truth of Christ, while satisfying the sonic palate.
While turning up the volume on songs like “Whoa” and “Lost,” Elishah
has maintained a deep conviction of the power of God’s truth in
songs like “Poor Man,” which challenges the listener to reach out of
his or her comfort zone to aid those in need. For those interested in
congregational worship, “Words,” “Right Now,” and “Linger” express
the desire of the human spirit to commune with God’s. Finally, the
title track, “Nothing’s Broken,” gives a new spin on the concept of
brokenness. Says Michael Atkins, “We so often say that brokenness
in Christianity is a good thing, and it is; however, once we’ve been
redeemed by Christ’s love, He fixes everything…nothing’s broken
anymore.”

In search of Christmas cheer – and column
MOORESVILLE – Christmas is alive
and well in downtown.
Our community, known for NASCAR
and traffic jams on Brawley School
Road, rings in the holiday with events
every Friday evening through Dec. 17.
My assistant (who happens to be my
husband) and I donned our hats and
gloves and drove to Main Street on
Friday, Dec. 3. We
Columnist came in the “backdoor,”
arriving to
the festivities from
the northern end
of town. It was
a beautiful, crisp
Virginia
DarceY
December night,
most befitting of a
Christmas celebration.
Our first objective
was to secure a
good parking place,
which we did rather quickly. The location
was perfect; we were parked right
in the middle of town. With camera and
notebook in hand, downtown Mooresville
was my oyster.
As we began our first Christmas on
Main in Mooresville, two couples that
had passed us stopped quite suddenly.
They were “oohing and ahhing” over
something through a store window.
When what to my wondering eyes
should appear but three tiny puppies

that beckoned me there. Who doesn’t
love puppies, especially at Christmas?
I spent the first 10 minutes or so trying
to act coy, expressing interest in the
shop owner’s fabrics and design services,
and waiting for my time – my puppy
therapy.
The cuties were there with the Lake
Norman Animal Rescue, a nonprofit
trying to find homes for abandoned
pets.
Our favorite was a little guy
who was white with Australian
Shepherd coloring. Notice I
said our favorite. Incredibly
enough, my husband fell
in love. Since holding the
dog, he keeps threatening
to bring it into our family.
The other two were cute
and cuddly, too, well maybe not Fiona.
I do remember her name; she is so well,
hate to say the word, so I wont. She is
a prize – part Chihuahua, I think, with
hair that seemed to stick straight out
sort of like she stuck her paw in a light
socket. As I held “our” puppy, a young
family walked in with two young children.
Kodak moment.
OK, back on task, in search of the
perfect Friday Christmas in Mooresville
story.
I stopped to change my lens and was
greeted by two young men who were
handing out glasses to make the Christmas
lights look like stars. How excited
they were when I asked if I could take
their picture, “Wow, are you going to
make us famous? How do you want us
to stand?”
Off they went, probably talking about
their future fame.
As we got further down Main Street,
I could see the rainbow of Christmas
lights stretched across a patch of grass
next to the railroad tracks. I popped a
couple of photos and out of
the corner of my eye, I saw
him: It was Santa.
There he sat on a bench
waiting patiently for children,
old and young, to
share their wish lists. The
line was short and Santa
did his best to be a good listener
and make sure that Mom got the
perfect picture.
Across the way, 20 or so children and
adults were enjoying a wagon ride, being
pulled by two beautiful, big, strong
horses. There was a momentary delay
in the rides as one of the horses threw
a shoe (for those of you who may not
know, it is when the horse actually loses
one of its horseshoes). No electronic
glitch, no fender bender, no traffic jam.
The horse needed a new horseshoe.
My loyal assistant got cold and retreated
to the car. I continued on my
quest for the perfect story. I landed in a
store watching little girls making ornaments
with their moms.
Shawnelle Cherry moved here from
Los Angeles to open Future Fashion
Designers, a store that offers fashion
design classes for ages 8 to adult.
Tonight’s fashion would be mini-purses
decorated with shiny beads to hang
on the tree. With one last photo of the
proud ornament designers, I headed to
the car, listening to the laughter and
singing emanating from the young family
I had just watched making Christmas
ornaments.
My last image was of the store where
we began, the place with the puppies
and the beautiful window display. I put
my camera away and climbed into the
comfort of my warm car.
“Did you get enough for a story?” my
husband asked.
“I don’t know, maybe not,” I replied. q

Huntersville man killed
in wreck was protector
by Josh Lanier
josh@mooresvilleweekly.com
If it had wheels, Jeremy Talbot Scheffer
wanted to toy with it. If it was broken,
he wanted to care for it.
“He was someone who was just drawn
to someone who was picked on or who
was left out,” his mother Jean Hoffman
said. “If that person needed someone,
Jeremy was the first person to be by their
side. He was just one of the most caring
people you could know.”
Scheffer, 28, of Huntersville, died on
Dec. 1 in Mount Mourne when his motor
scooter collided with a car around
9 p.m. at the intersection of N.C. 115
and Fairfiew Road. Nathaniel Dalton,
of Mooresville, the driver of the car, was
not injured. Police are still investigating
the wreck.
Scheffer recently moved to Huntersville
from New York to work at The Spirited
Cyclist, and he made fast friends.
It was his passion for bikes and extreme
sports that endeared him to the cyclists
around the area, his mother said.
On Hookit.com, a site dedicated to
extreme sports, Scheffer posted: “I love
getting on something and teaching myself
how to master it. From there, I want
to prove my abilities by competing.”
He was passionate about whatever he
Jeremy Scheffer
did, family said.
It was a passion he carried with him
through his life. After graduating from
North Davidson High School in 2000,
Scheffer left for East Tennessee State University
and then entered the U.S. Navy. After
a brief stint in New York, he moved to
the area to be closer to his family.
“At the wake and funeral, so many
people came up to me to tell me how
much he meant to them,” Hoffman said.
“I didn’t realize how much of an impact
he had, but that was just Jeremy. He
could change your world by just being
around you. He was a great man.”
He is survived by his mom and dad,
Jack Scheffer, and his sister, Jillian
Scheffer, Charlotte; and stepfather,
Scott Hoffman.
A funeral was held Dec. 3 at St. Mark
Catholic Church in Huntersville. q
Red Line
(continued from page 1)
Jeter said using the commuter rail for
freight across the corridor would make
for a good sales pitch to Norfolk Southern,
but he expressed concern whether
local companies could derive benefits
transporting materials short distances
from Statesville to Charlotte.
“In theory, it sounds great, but my
concern would be that you have to hire
additional labor,” said Jeter, president of
a Cornelius-based logistics company. “If
I’m NGK Ceramics up in Mooresville
or the companies up in Statesville that I
deal with, I doubt there is really cost efficiencies
for them to move freight on the
rail.”
Town Manager Steve Husemann said
Mooresville has talked to companies with
interest in locating near the tracks – not
because they anticipate doing any kind
of shipping but because they favored the
flexibility.
“When prices go crazy on trucking or if
there’s a national truck strike, they don’t
have to shut down their business because
of that,” Husemann said. “Using rail
makes some sense.”
On Nov. 17, the Metropolitan Transit
Commission favored pursuing federal
funding for the Blue Line Light Rail
Extension to northeast Charlotte, while
seeking public-private partnerships for
the Red Line.
Morris said the public has perceived
proposed commuter rail, light rail and
streetcar projects to be in competition
with each other for funding. But he
hopes to convince people to think about
transit in terms of layers, with commuter
rail serving as the backbone by linking
the Charlotte region’s north and northeast
corridors.
Estimated costs batted around for the
Red Line have hovered around $350 million,
but Morris believes planners could
cut the price by $50 million on account
of deferring parts of the project, among
other measures. The remaining amount
would be split among local, regional and
state funding sources.
Adding freight to the rail could operate
state-level interest, Morris said, which
could attract funding beyond the 25 percent
match used to support regional passenger
plans. Officials said the project
could attract state funding set aside for
projects involving freight modernization
or traffic mitigation, since the rail could
reduce the number of vehicles traveling
on Interstate 77.
Morris also shared some financing
strategies with leaders, mentioning that
transferring publicly owned land into an
investment portfolio of real estate could
quickly generate funding.
No action was taken during the Lake
Norman Transportation Commission
meeting. Morris told the commission that
the Metropolitan Transit Commission’s
Red Line Task Force would continue
serving as “quarterback” for the commuter
rail effort. That group is scheduled
to meet mid-month in Charlotte q

MOORESVILLE – On occasions

a flower box.
“She would put a pillow and blankets

recalled of her youth. These days, Denison,
30, works alongside her mother,
June Cavin, at Flowerchild Design Florist

notes
Iredell’s unemployment
rate decreases slightly
RALEIGH – Unemployment rates
dropped in 66 of North Carolina’s 100
counties, including Iredell, in October,
according to statistics released Nov.
30 by the state’s Employment Security
Commission.
“Over the year, we have seen unemployment
rates decline in 90 counties;
however, one-third of the counties had
rates greater than 10 percent in October,”
said ESC Chairman Lynn Holmes.
“We continue to face economic
challenges with respect to job growth,
but we at ESC continue to assist those
looking for work and those who qualify
for unemployment benefits.”
Iredell was among that one-third
Holmes referenced, reporting a 10.4
percent unemployment rate for October
– a slight decrease from the 10.5
percent reported in September. One
year ago, Iredell’s unemployment rate
was at 12.7 percent.
Some 8,146 residents of Iredell County’s
78,563-person work force were out
of work in October.
North Carolina had 45 counties that
were at or below the state’s unadjusted
unemployment rate of 9.1 percent. Currituck
County had the state’s lowest unemployment
rate in October, at 4.9 percent.
Scotland County had the highest unemployment
rate, at 14.7 percent.
Rotary raises $8,000 from breakfast
TROUTMAN –The Rotary Club of
Troutman raised more than $8,000 at
its second annual “Pancake Breakfast
with Santa” on Saturday, Dec. 4. Proceeds
will provide food, clothes and
toys to children within the community
who would otherwise be without this
holiday season.
More than 500 people showed up,
including Sheriff Phillip Redmond and
some of his deputies, for the $5 “all you
can eat” breakfast, provided by Aggie n
Joe’s Kitchen.
In addition to the food, Santa Claus
visited with children, took lots of requests
for the hottest new toys and endured
pulls of his beard.
Hospital volunteers donate
money to 5 groups
MOORESVILLE – The volunteer
Auxiliary of Lake Norman Regional
Medical Center is providing support to
five organizations that help Lake Norman-area
residents who are experiencing
hardship or challenges.
The 2010 recipients auxiliary’s Charitable
Giving Program are HealthReach
Community Clinic, Ada Jenkins Center,
Mooresville Soup Kitchen, Barium
Springs Home for Children and Carolina
Comfort Coalition at Serenity House.
The Auxiliary’s Executive Board members
honored the organizations at a
Monday, Dec. 6 luncheon at the hospital.
Auxiliary President Nancy Gutowski
presided over the luncheon. She recognized
and presented each organization
with a donation check.
This is the third consecutive year
for the hospital Auxiliary’s Charitable
Giving program where the volunteers
donated, through their fundraising efforts,
approximately $8,000 annually to
community organizations.
These community donations are in
addition to the annual student scholarships
given by the Auxiliary totaling approximately
$18,000 annually. q

The three businesses staged an inaugural
open house on Friday, Dec. 3, –
the same evening Downtown Mooresville
hosted several holiday-themed activities.
The open house featured blues
singer Michael Federal, as well as wine,
warm cider and hors d’oeuvres.
Jane Shelton also helps out at the
shop. Shelton has known Cavin since
they were seventh-graders at Mooresville

Burger. And though she hasn’t worked
there in 10 years, people still tell Shelton
they miss her, Cavin said.
“The one thing about eccentric people
is they remember you more,” Shelton
said.
Cavin is still very much involved in
creating arrangements and centerpieces
for any occasion, including funerals
– where her fascination for flowers
blossomed. Her father, J.P., founded
Cavin Funeral Home in 1925.
Like her mother, Denison’s career
was also influenced by the family business.

Organ transplant keeps resident with her family
Donor was NFL player
killed in Charlotte
by Erin Odom
news@mooresvilleweekly.com
MOORESVILLE – One year ago, Donna
Arnold received a phone call that changed
her life.
It was around 6:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 17,
2009, and the lifelong Mooresville resident
was spending time with her family at her
parents’ home.
The person calling told Donna to rush
to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte.

There had been a terrible accident, but
through one family’s tragedy, Donna’s family
would receive the gift of life.
Awaiting Donna at the hospital was a
donor’s kidney and pancreas – the two
organs needed to cure the 51-year-old from
the debilitating diabetes she had suffered
from for 34 years.
“I was excited and nervous,” Donna
remembered.
But she didn’t want to be too hopeful.
This was the third call in a week she had
received about a potential donor match.
The previous two had not worked out. The
hospital had even admitted and prepped
Donna for surgery when the second

transplant fell through.
Although disappointed,
Donna’s faith in God sustained
her, she said.
“God’s gonna give me a
pancreas and kidney,” she
told her husband, N.B.
Determined this trial
would strengthen her,
Donna waited. One week
later, she wondered if the
transplant would really
happen. With it, Donna
would have a chance at
a normal life. Without it,
she would die.
Scripture provides hope
Donna was only 16 when doctors diagnosed
her with type 1 diabetes in 1975.
Unlike the more well-known type 2 diabetes,
type 1 cannot be controlled with diet or
exercise. According to the American Diabetes
Association, only 5 to 10 percent of diabetics
suffer from this form of the disease.
In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas does not
produce insulin, and those who suffer from
the disease must receive some type of insulin
therapy to live. Even with medications,
type 1 diabetes often leads to complications
where other organs begin malfunctioning.
Donna describes her diabetes as brittle,
meaning she frequently experienced large
swings in blood sugar levels. These ups and
downs impeded her life, even when she
took three insulin shots a day.
“Basically, I just laid around a lot,” she
said. “I didn’t feel like doing things around
the house or going anywhere.”
Because of the severity of her disease,
Donna couldn’t have biological children.
But she still dreamed of becoming a mother
one day.
Through every trial, she clung to

the biblical promise found in Proverbs
3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He
will direct your path.”
“Those verses hit me in church one day,”
she said. “I stuck to them to get through
every situation.”
And Donna is thankful for how she
believes God has blessed her. Trading three
shots a day for an insulin pump 10 years
ago made dealing with the disease more
comfortable.
She and N.B. expanded their family
through adoption. They welcomed their
daughter, Lisa, into their home in 1987,
when she was just 2 years old. Lisa and her
husband, Nick Dayton, gave the Arnolds
their first grandchild, Isabella, two years
ago. And Donna and N.B. are in the process
of finalizing their adoption of 10-yearold
Austin, who’s lived with them since
2004.
“Each thing I look at as a blessing from
(God),” Donna said.

Transplant
(continued from page 22)
Transplant provides future
Donna was excited when she was
finally called into surgery. Still, the procedure
was risky. Before doctors wheeled
her into the operating room, Donna and
N.B. prayed.
“If this doesn’t work out, I’m ready for
the Lord to take me,” she told N.B.
It has snowed that day, so no one
could get to the hospital to be with N.B.
as he waited. But Donna’s faith helped
strengthen his, he said, and N.B. felt at
peace throughout her surgery.
As N.B. awaited the results of his wife’s
surgery, he watched another family’s tragedy
unfold on the television screen in the
waiting room. NFL player Chris Henry,
of the Cincinnati Bengals, had died in
a car wreck while visiting Charlotte. It
would be almost a year before N.B. and
Donna would know the role the football
star played in their lives.
Donna’s transplant was a success,
and she is now fully cured of diabetes.
Faith
On Oct. 15, her transplant coordinator
called to inform her who her donor was
– Chris Henry. Not a football fan, Donna
hadn’t heard of Henry, but her coordinator
explained his status and told her she
would soon have the opportunity to meet
his mother, Carolyn Glaspy.
“I was so nervous,” Donna said of the
meeting. “I felt so guilty that her son had
to die for me to live.”
Donna, Glaspy and the other recipients
of Henry’s organs cried together during
their meeting.
Glaspy, who decided to donate her
son’s organs, told the group that meeting
them was her closure, Donna
said. “She knew Chris was still living
through us. I told her he would always
live through me.”
Although she’s still recovering from
her surgery, Donna’s quality of life has
improved 100 percent, she said.
But she still sees her 34-year battle
with diabetes as a blessing.
“Those struggles strengthened my
faith,” she said. “I know God’s there, and
he’s helping me.” q

Opinion
Fishermen have many
reasons to use tacky bait
There is an old saying used by fishermen
that goes something like this, “I
spent most of my money on fishing tackle,
the rest I wasted.” Maybe you have
heard it before,
FISHING
WITH GUS
GUS
GUSTAFSON
maybe you haven’t.
Regardless, fishermen
do spend
a lot of money on
tackle, particularly
on fishing lures.
If you don’t believe
it, the next
time you are talking
to a fisherman,
ask how many
tackle boxes he has
accumulated over
the years. Two,
three, four or more doesn’t sound like
many, but each has the capacity to hold
dozens and dozens of lures. Every time
a lure was added to the collection, the
angler believed it would catch fish.
Why does everyone need so many
lures, when it is a known fact that most
fish primarily eat smallish fish, insects
and worms?
Well to some, fishing with natural
baits isn’t as challenging as trying to
entice them into swallowing an artificial
lure. That’s why
tackle shops carry
thousands in a variety
of colors, sizes
and shapes.
With so many to
choose from, how
does one know which
lure is the best?
Again, there is no
simple answer; so
here are a few of the
many unscientific
reasons (excuses)
anglers use when
purchasing fishing
lures:
• This lure looks
more lifelike then a
real minnow.
• It was so shiny. I
had to buy it.
• Any lure with a name like a “Blue
Eyed, Yellow Belly, or Boy Howdy” has
to catch fish.
• I saw it advertised on television.
• They had lots of them at the tackle
shop.
• It looks just like a frog swimming in
the water.
• Someone told me, “It’s the only lure
they will bite.”
• It has a built-in rattle.
• I can cast this one a mile.
• This one is a favorite on the tournament
trail and responsible for millions
in prize money.
• Pink is the only color they hit this
time of year.
• This lure was handcrafted by an old
Indian fishing guide.
• It’s a new soft plastic version of an
old wooden lure I used when I was a
kid.
• Someone said, “It is the best lure
ever for fishing off boat docks.”
• It only catches big ones.
• They were on sale and everyone was
buying one or two.
• When I saw it, I had to buy it, because
it looks just like a baby trout.
• My friend catches fish on this one
every time he goes fishing, so I bought
three.
Tips from Capt. Gus
When asked which is better, live or artificial
baits, a bait shop owner replied,
“It’s easier to feed ’em than it is to trick
’em, so use minnows.

artificial lure.
Hot spots of the week
Spotted bass are along rip-rap shorelines
and around deep brush. White
perch are suspending along the edges of
creek channels in water to 30 feet deep.
Catfishing is good in sloughs and backcoves,
while striped bass fishing is slow.
Crappie fishing is good to very good in
Mountain Creek around bridges and
sunken brush. The lake level is 2.9 feet
below full pond and the water surface
temperature is in the 50s. q

Education
Preschool donates to Second
Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina
by Justin Vick
editor@mooresvilleweekly.com
MOORESVILLE – As a food drive
coordinator with Second Harvest Food
Bank of Metrolina, Steve Cross visits
many schools around the holidays. But
his visit to Primrose School of Lake Norman
on Monday, Dec. 6, was his first time
explaining the virtues of volunteering to
preschool children.
“Has anyone ever been hungry before?”
he asked the group of 3-, 4- and 5-yearolds.
“I like spaghetti,” replied one boy,
prompting several of his classmates to
blurt out their favorite foods.
Another boy told the group that his
mother has food, giving Cross the opportunity
to bring the discussion back to giving
by explaining that there are some children
whose moms don’t have any food.
“Everyone is in the giving mood with
Thanksgiving and Christmas,” Cross told
Mooresville Weekly. “But hunger is felt
year-round, so we have to encourage people
to keep donating. Obviously, the need
has risen, and we’re trying to keep pace
with that.”
Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina
distributed 33 million pounds of food
to soup kitchens, pantries and low-income
daycares in 19 counties last year.
Preschoolers from Primrose School of
Lake Norman added 362 pounds of food
on Monday. Aside from the donation, the
children also performed a song for Cross.
“We feel it’s really important for
someone like Steve to come
from Second Harvest and
accept the donation,” said
Stacey Hinman, owner of
Primrose School of Lake
Norman. “It’s really important
for the kids to see
where their donations are
going.”
Giving children the
opportunity to ask questions
is also important, considering
their minds begin
to swell with questions and
are better able to understand
concepts at 3 years
old, she said.
The food drive was part
of the preschool’s “Helping
Hands” curriculum and one
of four such projects it conducts a year.
Other projects include donating books
and pairs of socks to Barium Springs
Home for Children in Statesville.
Character development is an important
component of the preschool, Hinman
explained. Thirteen puppets aid teachers
in expressing a different character trait
each month.

About Primrose Schools
Founded in 1982, Primrose Schools
provide early childhood education
and child-care services in more than
200 schools in 15 states. Primrose
School of Lake Norman is located at
173 Raceway Drive. Its preschool program
serves children ages 6 weeks old
to 5 years old. It also offers a summer
camp for children ages 5 to 12 years
old, as well as an after-school program
that picks up children at Woodland
Heights Elementary, Lakeshore
Elementary and Pine Lake Preparatory.
Details: 704-658-0460 or www.
primroseschools.com.
“It is important to teach the children
academics, but it’s also very important to
teach the children to be good citizens in
their communities and good teammates
in their classes,” Hinman said.
She and her husband, Jeremy, opened
Primrose School of Lake Norman in May
2006. They saw the need for a quality preschool
program for their 2- and 4-year-old
children when they moved to Mooresville
in October 2003.
“There was nothing here,” she said.
“We left meetings and tours feeling what
we wanted did not exist.”
While Primrose School of Lake Norman
is a private preschool, Hinman wants
the atmosphere to feel like an extension of
home so that parents feel confident leaving
their children there with her staff. q

Education
Planning board wants to limit traffic
at temporary Catholic school
by Frank DeLoache
education@mooresvilleweekly.com
HUNTERSVILLE – The Huntersville
Planning Board has endorsed a
change in zoning rules that would allow
a new Catholic high school to open
temporarily in August 2011 at a former
warehouse on U.S. 21, about a halfmile
south of Gilead Road.
But planning board members also
supported restrictions on the temporary
home of Christ the King Catholic
High School, including potential fines
and alternative parking plans if school
traffic further clogs heavily traveled
U.S. 21. The school hopes to open
next fall with 100 freshman, attracting
students from Iredell, as well as
Cabarrus, Lincoln and Mecklenburg
counties.
At its Nov. 16 meeting, the planning
board endorsed:
• A limit of 300 students in the converted
commercial building, which
the Catholic Diocese of Charlotte
wants to use while building a permanent
school.
• A limit of five years that the school
could remain in the temporary quarters
opposite several auto dealers. The planning
board suggested an initial threeyear
permit, with the option of one
two-year extension, Chairman Bruce
Andersen said.
Anderson and other board members
doubt whether school officials can handle
traffic, particularly in the afternoon
when parents have to wait longer for
children behind the building.
Anderson wants town officials to
be prepared to impose fines if school
traffic backs up onto U.S. 21, reduce
the number of students allowed at the
school or limit the number of cars turning
into the site.
At the Nov. 16 planning board meeting,
Gary Knox, the Cornelius realtor
who represents the Catholic Diocese
on the school project, said school officials
would consider requiring parents
to drop off and pick up students
at another site, with the school busing
students to the school in the morning
and back to the drop-off point in the
afternoon.
Huntersville commissioners are likely
to vote Dec. 20 whether to change
zoning to allow a temporary school in
a corporate-business district. If commissioners
make the change, town
staff is recommending the diocese get
a special-use permit, which would enable
the town to see site plans and add
conditions, Huntersville Senior Planner
Brad Priest said. q

BOYS CROSS COUNTRY RUNNER OF ThE YEAR
Wildcats’ driven Marshburn completes mission
Lake Norman High School’s Michael Marshburn is Mooresville
Weekly’s 2010 Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year.
GiRlS CROSS COUNTRY RUNNER OF ThE YEAR
If you talk about the Lake Norman High cross
country teams through the years, there’s one name
that will almost always be the first one mentioned:
Jenny Gallagher.
Her name is on almost every school running record.
Her performances constantly impress, and,
just when you think she can’t top her latest performance,
she usually goes out and does just that.
Gallagher, Mooresville Weekly’s 2010 Girls
Cross Country Runner of the Year, burst onto the
scene during her sophomore year, when nobody
expected her to excel. Racing in the Iredell County
Meet, she didn’t merely do well – she came out of
nowhere and won the event. Then, she won her
next race, and the next, and the next.
Like other great runners, Gallagher’s opponent
isn’t a person, but a time. She wants to run her best
every time she races, and the others who are on
the course with her do not factor into that goal.
“What motivates me is trying to beat myself, my
times,” Gallagher said. “I just want to keep getting
faster, doing better.”
Gallagher’s motivation to be the best isn’t just
in running. She’s an honor student with a 4.36
weighted grade-point-average. She’s also an acclaimed
actor and member of the school’s drama
club – The Academy at Lake Norman – which recently
earned a spot in a national theatre competition
next spring after winning regional and state
by Denny Seitz
denny@mooresvilleweekly.com
Michael Marshburn always raced against the
stopwatch as much as any other runner out on
the cross country course when Lake Norman
High was competing. It didn’t matter if crosstown
rivals Mooresville had a dozen top runners,
or if they didn’t have any at all. All Marshburn
was concerned with was doing his best, beating
the clock.
For the past three years, Marshburn, Mooresville
Weekly 2010 Boys Cross Country Runner
of the Year, did precisely that, continually dropping
his personal best times as the Wildcats team
inched closer to the top of the standings.
“You always have to push yourself because the
competition is so good,” Marshburn said. “You
see how fast you can go, how hard you can push
yourself. It makes you better, for sure.”
This year, Marshburn was the top local runner
in nearly every race he competed, including the
race he posted a time of 16:22. His best time as
a junior was 16:44. His best senior performance
was 17:13.
More than just his running ability impressed
others though.
Kathleen Scott, the Wildcats’ coach, said his
competitions.
Everything she does, she does to the best of her
ability.
“Deep down, Jenny just wants to push herself
and see how good she can become,” said Lake
Norman coach Kathleen Scott.
Gallagher has excelled at the highest level, finishing
in the top five in the prestigious Wendy’s
Invitational and earning all-state acclaim. She is a
three-time winner in the county race and has been
All-Region three times and All-Conference three
times.
Her times have consistently gotten better through
the years, from 20:40 as a sophomore, to 18:45 as
a junior and then 18:27 as a senior. The team has
been dominant too, finishing among the top six in
the state each of the three years Gallagher ran.
Last week, Gallagher’s success, both in running
and in school, earned her a scholarship offer to
Elon College. She’ll sign the papers and make it
official in February.
“I was going to go to the college I liked the best,
whether I got a scholarship offer or not from that
school,” Gallagher said. “And Elon was the one I
liked best.”
Gallagher said participating in cross country at
Lake Norman High has helped her grow and been
a great experience.
“Cross country was a really big part of me,” she
said. “After my freshman year, I got really involved,
dedicated. I learned so much and made so many
friends. It changed my life.” q
leadership skills and attitude were big reasons the
younger runners on the team improved so much
during the year.
“Michael is an all-out runner every time he
runs,” Scott said. “The best thing about Michael,
for our team, is that everybody works so hard trying
to catch him.”
The rest of the Wildcats runners did a good job
of closing the gap on Marshburn. The solid topto-bottom
performances made the team much
stronger, leading to several notable achievements
during the season.
Lake Norman won the Iredell County Meet for
the first time this season, with Marshburn leading
the way by finishing third overall. For the second
year in a row, Marshburn earned all-conference
honors. This season, after missing by one spot as
a junior, Marshburn earned all-region acclaim.
A tough outing at the state meet was the lone
thing even resembling a blemish on an otherwise
stellar career, but it was hardly enough to lead
anyone to suggest Marshburn wasn’t clearly the
top runner in the area.
“Michael might have some hobbies,” Scott said.
“But his primary goal, after doing well in school,
is being the very best runner.”
This season, Marshburn accomplished that
goal in impressive fashion. q

BOYS SOCCER PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Hensley’s talents truly shined this season
by Denny Seitz
denny@mooresvilleweekly.com
They were playing a team ranked in
the top five in the nation, but weren’t
at all intimidated. The Lake Norman
boys’ soccer team has won enough
games through the years that the players
on the squad know they can compete
at the highest level.
They also know that the team has
what all great teams seem to possess: a
game-changing goalkeeper.
So when the Wildcats went 17-3-4
this season, including a third-round
playoff game at nationally ranked T.C.
Roberson High in Asheville, few were
surprised, because Nick Hensley was
turning back shots with regularity all
season.
Hensley, the Mooresville Weekly
2010 Boys Soccer Player of the Year,
sparked the talent-laden Wildcats team
to a victory at Roberson, showing why
he was the top player in the area with
a trio of saves that were worthy of any

highlight reel.
“When you look back, we’re at T.C.
Roberson. They’re ranked number five
in the country. And he comes up with
absolutely incredible saves,” Lake Norman
coach Jon Mertes said. “There
were three of them. Any one of those
three shots would have gotten by any
other keeper. They were Player of the
Year saves.”
Hensley kept the Wildcats in the
game by saving a direct kick that flew
toward the goal like a bullet, then
stopped a point-blank blast by diving
on the ground and smothering the
ball, ensuring no rebound attempts by
Roberson. The final save came in the
frantic last seconds on another close
shot.
Typically, when the game was most
important, Hensley played his best.
The senior, headed to the Charlotte
49ers on a soccer scholarship, was instrumental
in the Wildcats posting 13
shutouts in the 24 games. The team
allowed just 15 goals all season.
“All the training he’s done, the dedication,”
Mertes said. “Those are the
things that separated him from most.”
Even though the Wildcats have had
a string of great goalkeepers since the
school opened nine years ago, Hensley
was expected to be the first to play at
the college level. He missed that distinction,
though, when Dalton Dauer
earned playing time at Belmont Abbey
this season. As a testament to how
good Hensley is, consider this: Dauer
was relegated to backup for much of
his time at Lake Norman because of
Hensley’s abilities.
Hensley says there are plenty of players
wearing Lake Norman uniforms
who could excel anywhere, and perhaps
generate better statistics if they
weren’t part of such a well-balanced
team. He said goalies are considered
leaders, but it was a job made easier by
his teammates.
“I always thought of the goalie as a
leader,” Hensley said. “I thought it was
my responsibility to communicate with
the guys in front of me. I can see the
entire field, so I need to communicate
and let my teammates know what to
expect.”
Mertes said Hensley has always been
a leader. q
giRLS TEnniS PLAYER OF THE YEAR
It was wild season for Mooresville’s Farrell
by Denny Seitz
denny@mooresvilleweekly.com
Tim Smith remembers the “Wild
Child.” It was during the summer, and
14-year-old Julia Farrell wasn’t the
most consistent player on local tennis
courts, but she was clearly one of the
best.
By the time fall rolled around and
high school tennis action was beginning,
Farrell was anything but wild.
The Mooresville High freshman kept
her intensity and focused on the court,
but Smith says, “She lost that wildness
quickly.”
The result was a stellar season for
Farrell, the Mooresville Weekly 2010
Girls Tennis Player of the Year. Farrell,
just a freshman, played No. 1 singles
for the Blue Devils all season, and
dominated action, playing both singles
and doubles. Her combined record of
40-4 in singles and doubles play earned
her all-region honors, as well as Player
of the Year honors in the I-MECK 4A
conference.
“She is very determined,” said Smith,
of Farrell, who helped the Blue Devils
to an 18-2 overall record and the
school’s first girls’ tennis conference
championship since 1996. “She can
win in many different ways.”
Farrell has the ability to hit powering,
point-winning shots or can be patient
and play a baseline game, waiting until
her opponent makes the first mistake.
Smith says she has a strong forehand
and backhand as well as a great serve.
There is no blemish on her game.
“She could easily become the best to
ever play at Mooresville,” Smith said.
It didn’t take long for Farrell and
teammate Maggie Siebert, a sophomore,
to make their mark on the I-
MECK. Siebert had an overall mark of
40-5 in singles and doubles matches.
Both players – Farrell and Siebert –
were dominating, but neither sought
the limelight by themselves, opting instead
to pursue post-season matches as
a doubles team instead of singles.
“They both like playing doubles better,”
Smith said. “They just like the
interaction and the teamwork. And
they’re unselfish. They’re not in it for
the glory.”
The duo is one reason why the future
of the Mooresville High program could
be promising. Farrell continues to play
in amateur circuits,
honing her game
and
seeking
out the best
competition
she
can face.

Mooresville boys hoops
team enjoying upswing
by Denny Seitz and Chris Hunt
denny@mooresvilleweekly.com
After ending last season with 13 consecutive
losses, the Mooresville High
boys basketball team is flip-flopping
their ways and doing a good job of forgetting
its past struggles.
On Tuesday, Dec. 7, the Blue Devils
improved to 4-0 this season with a 67-
63 victory at Statesville. Shawn Lester
led the way with 25 points, while Kendrick
Johnson added 17.
On Dec. 3, the Blue Devils got 13
points from Patrick O’Brien and Isaiah
Johnson in an easy victory against Concord
Robinson. In that game, Mooresville
outscored Robinson 44-18 in the
second and third quarters en route to
the victory.
Mooresville (4-0) opens conference
play Friday, Dec. 10, at Mallard Creek.
On Dec. 11, the team travels to S.C.
for a tough game at Ridge View High in
Columbia.
Wildcats’ learning curve continues
The Lake Norman girls basketball
team registered a big come-from-behind
victory and then suffered a lopsided
loss as it heads into tonight’s I-
MECK 4A conference opener at North
Mecklenburg with a 4-2 record.
Playing against one of the top teams
in the state, Lake Norman overcame
a 25-point deficit in the third quarter
and defeated Concord 58-56 on Dec.
3. Marissa Riley had 28 points, 11 rebounds
and five steals for the Wildcats.
Landyn Mannion added 15 points, 10
rebounds and seven steals. Lake Norman
outscored the Spiders 27-9 in the
fourth quarter.
The Wildcats also were impressive
against West Iredell, claiming a 55-41
win behind Riley’s 17 points and eight
rebounds.
It was a different story on Dec. 7
against North Iredell, when the Wildcats
were defeated 75-43.
In the Dec. 10 conference opener,
the 4-2 Wildcats will face the 5-1 North
Mecklenburg Vikings.
Pine Lake Prep boys go 1-1
Keenan Gilmore led a balanced scoring
attack with 10 points as the Pine
Lake Prep boys basketball team defeated
Woodlawn 50-20 on Dec. 1. Hayden
Goins added nine points and Jack Hayes
scored eight in the victory.
On Dec. 2, the Pride fell to Covenant
Classical 67-39. Goins had a team high
nine points while Tucker Thompson
added eight.

Davidson Day’s Johnson leads
boys team to special victories
After dropping its first two games of
the season to Forsyth Country Day and
Cary Academy, the Davidson Day boys
team has responded with seven consecutive
wins. The Patriots’ two most
recent victories were special to coach
Ron Johnson.
Davidson Day returned from a trip
to Florida last weekend after defeating
Class 4A public school Heritage High
School (Palm Bay, Florida) on Dec. 3
and talented Holy Trinity (Melbourne,
Florida) on Dec. 4.
Johnson said Holy Trinity is considered
one of the best Class 3A publicschool
teams in Florida, but the reason
the victories were so important to the
Patriots’ coach is because both Sunshine
State head coaches – Heritage’s
Steve Link and Holy Trinity’s Stevie
Henderson – played for Johnson when
he coached at Melbourne Central
Catholic School. It’s safe to say he has
bragging rights over his former players.
“If we didn’t win down there, at some
point I would have heard about it –
maybe not that weekend, but sometime
in the future,” joked Johnson. “It was a
very rewarding experience. That’s why I
coach: to see kids do well. I told (Link
and Henderson) that I was proud of
them. I saw some of the same principles
I taught them, and we shared some
stories about how I used to make them
run in practice.”
Hopewell’s Watson wins at
Jim Hayes Invitational
Hopewell High wrestler Nick Watson
swept his matches to win the 215-
pound division at the 43rd annual Jim
Hayes Invitational at East Mecklenburg
High Dec. 4.
Watson pinned the field in a combined
3 minutes, 43 seconds. In the
first round, he defeated Boiling Springs
Crest’s Thomas Willis in 34 seconds.
His next match, against Ardrey Kell’s
Danny Kim, took 1:03, followed by
wins over Independence’s Jabari Cuffie
(57 seconds) and North Gaston’s Cody
Willett (1:09).
The Titans finished ninth among
20 teams. Hopewell’s Wesley Petrick
was second in the 112-pound weight
class with a 3-1 record. Ed Stokes (135
pounds) and Tyshaun Cochran (285)
were fourth.

‘The Chronicles of Narnia:
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader’

by Tim Ross
movies@mooresvilleweekly.com
When you’re an epic fantasy film series
growing up in the age of The Lord of
the Rings and Harry Potter, you’d better
bring your A game. Such is the case with
the latest installment of “The Chronicles
of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn
Treader.”
It’s the most sophisticated Narnia
offering to date, as the series seems set to
regain the momentum it lost after “Prince
Caspian.” In fact, the cost of “Prince Caspian”
– and its lagging sales – prompted
Disney to back out of committing to
produce or finance any additional films
in the series. 20th Century Fox stepped
in to produce “The Voyage of the Dawn
Treader,” and they just may reap the benefits.
Still, the Narnia series has labored in
the shadows of the franchise megahits
of Potter and Rings. Witness the current
$244 million-and-counting haul of part
one of the final Harry Potter film and
Page 34 • Mooresville Weekly • Dec. 10-16, 2010
the buzz surrounding the finally greenlit
return to Middle Earth as the Hobbit
films get under way.
Make no mistake, Narnia is big. The
seven-book Christian allegory by C.S.
Lewis has sold 100 million copies in the
last 50 years. It’s an enduring classic, but
the early films never quite stepped out
of the huge shadow of their hefty contemporaries.
The first installment, “The
Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe,” made
$250 million in theaters while the follow
up, “Prince Caspian,” managed to recoup
only half its budget.
“The Voyage of the Dawn Treader”
could revive the series and make the
telling of all seven books a Hollywood

possibility. This Narnia is a fast-paced
adventure with fantastic effects and tight
acting that will satisfy fantasy lovers and
C.S. Lewis fans alike.
A new crew has been assembled,
including director Michael Apted with a
new writing team, and they have chosen
to do more with less. It works. Our heroes
are reduced from four Pevensies to two,
Lucy (Georgie Henley) and Edmund
(Skandar Keynes). Peter and Susan have
outgrown their need to believe in Narnia
or the help that they can lend there.
The siblings, however, are accidentally
accompanied by their insufferable cousin,
Eustable Scrubb, a suitably scowling Will
Poulter. And Ben Barnes is back as Prince
Caspian but he has lost the unidentifiable
accent he used in the prior film – a welcome
loss.
Perhaps most importantly, Apted helms
a clearer story, one that focuses more on
the characters and how they’re affected by
the journey. The adventurers are largely
confined to the Narnian ship, the Dawn
Treader, and the islands they visit, so the
story focuses inward, examining their
fears, hopes and how belief in that which
they cannot see can guide them.
The writing still fails to capture the taut,
intelligent storytelling of the Lord of the
Rings or the Harry Potter series, but they
do succeed in telling a story that moves at
a brisk pace while being crystal clear with
Lewis’ original allegorical points. Narnia
is a place that exists both in another world
and in the hearts of believers. If one can
believe in Aslan there, one can believe in
God here.
Georgie Henley delivers a capable performance
as Lucy, even though she’s lost
some of the little girl charm that came so
readily to her in the first two films. She has
aged into a young woman, and she carries
it well. So, too, has Skandar Keynes, as
Edmund, matured as an actor. Both have
grown up in the series, and both displayed
a comfort that served the story well.
Ben Barnes was a pleasant surprise.
The young actor looked lost in “Prince
Caspian,” overwhelmed by the burden
to carry the story and not aided by the
writing or direction. Here, he is more in
command of his ship, his faculties and
his character’s arc. Also new is the voice
of the beloved swash-buckling mouse
Reepicheep, with Simon Pegg delivering
wry jokes and earnestness as the noble
rodent.
“The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” is
an enjoyable experience and, while the
Christian themes are, by far, the most
pronounced in this latest installment
of Narnia, it does not sink the Dawn
Treader in dogma. It remains to be seen
if The Chronicles of Narnia will now sail
into the sunset or be back with another
installment of the C.S. Lewis classics. q

love more than anything to be able to keep providing
for L.C. but we are just not able to like we know
someone else could. Please call Chrissy @ 704-895-
