The workshop will be held from 8-9 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 4 at the Century 21 Becky Medlin Realty office, which is located at 407 N. Judd Parkway, NE. This workshop will cover the basics of a good EXPO experience, including how to set up your booth, how to draw potential clients to your booth, how to use signage (banners/posters) to your best advantage, how to approach Expo attendees to promote your business, and how to advertise the event to your existing client list so that the Expo can get onto everyone’s calendar.

PHOTOS BY ALLYSON BETOT Curtain goes up at Stars Theater and Arts Center By Allyson Betot S I Stars Theater and Arts Center, 123 East Vance St., is open for business, entertainment and education. There’s a lot to look forward to at this new FuquayVarina center. After transforming the old Belk building into a castle, director Cindy Verian has big plans for the center. She plans on working with other community programs and businesses in joint ventures. While Verian and her husband Mike own the building, they actually rent the space out to Stars Theater and Arts, a nonprofit organization. Because it is non-profit, there is always a need for something. Verian has great ideas for fundraising and said the community has already been generous in contributing. The organization has been given a grand piano. Before they can strike a chord, however, they need to raise the funds to move the piano to its new home. The support from the community has been overwhelming. Local residents volunteered to build shelves to store costumes, making operations run more smoothly for performances. Verian said that people are just thrilled that the building isn’t empty and is going to continue to be a valuable part of the community. As for renovating the building, a lot of help was given by community and family members. “Everything you see has a story,” said Verian. Even the After renovations the Stars Theater and Arts Center looks like a castle. lobby’s chairs were donated by a local law firm. “Anything we could do ourselves, we did,” said Verian about the renovation process. Verian states that her husband did a lot of the handiwork, including building the stage, car- peting the floor and designing the lobby. “My husband helped make my dream come true,” said Verian.

Daycare closes in Garner after lead paint discovered Ridoutt’s Nursery and Kindergarten, located at 600 Saint Mary’s St. in Garner, closed its doors last week after Wake County discovered lead in their paint chips. According to an inspection of the daycare, dated March 21, the facility needed to be repainted. Paint on a gazebo was needed as well. At the time, Wake County inspectors used an instrument that found lead in the paint chips. So, samples were sent to the N.C. Environmental Health Branch’s Lead Program for further testing. Even with the needed paint updates, the childcare facility earned a superior classification on the inspection. Since March, Wake County found that the paint had lead levels dangerous to the health of children and workers at the daycare. However, N.C. Lead and Child Care Programs Manager Ed Norman said the state didn’t pull the daycare’s license. “We didn’t tell them they had to close,” Norman said. “That was their choice.” He said that while he supports the owners wanting to take care of the problem in a timely manner, there were options for dealing with it while keeping the facility open. They could remove the paint, abate it or cover it with lead-free paint. Covering the paint is the path most frequently taken because it requires minimal materials – new paint and plastic to catch any paint chips that may fall in the future. “That’s usually a cheaper option, but it’s not permanent,” Norman said. Director and Program Manager of the Department of Environmental Health in Wake County Tommy Esqueda said the sanitation inspection took place because the Ridoutts planned to change the title of ownership. Esqueda’s staff had an instrument that took paint chip samples and determined initially there were traces of lead. But even if there hadn’t been any paint chips to collect, the staff would have found the high levels of lead. He said no one on his staff received phone calls from parents claiming their children were sick constantly at the facility. The Environmental Health Dept. did suggest the owners have parents get their children checked for lead poisoning just as a precaution. Owners Chad and Candy Ridoutts were not available for comment. It isn’t known if the facility will reopen. fuquay-varinaindependent.com LaWanda LaWanda Bailey-Rayner, Bailey-Rayner, DPM DPM Local Friendly Service 397-8100 • Carpet Cleaning • Upholstery Cleaning • Orintal Rugs • Pet Stain Removal 3 ROOMS /HALL 6 ROOMS /HALL Steam Cleaned Steam Cleaned Only $99 ADD Stairs Only $149 ADD Stairs www.NeighborhoodCarpetcare.com 1140 Holly Springs Rd., Suite 107 Holly Springs, NC (919) 557-0300 We accept: BC/BS, Cigna, United Healthcare, Aetna, Medicare and other Major Medical Plans.

Aging veterans from both sides of that war gathered to remember together the horrors of the battle and to celebrate their common homeland. As we begin to mark the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights struggles of the 1960s, I wonder if there could ever be a Gettysburg type of reunion that would bring together those who battled for equal rights and those who fought tooth and nail against them. Unlikely. It is hard these days to find anyone who will stand up with pride and say that he or she fought against the movement for equal opportunity. A new book by Joseph Howell, who is married to my sister Embry, brought back those times of the early 1960s vividly. His book, “Civil Rights Journey: The Story of a White Southerner Coming of Age during the Civil Rights Revolution” is a reminder to me of a question that must haunt every American who lived through the 1960s and did nothing, or very little, but sit on the sidelines as historic changes rushed by. ONE ON The question: Why didn’t I do more? Howell asks the same question even as he ONE describes how he led demonstrations for equal rights in Charlotte while he was a student at Davidson College in the early 1960s. Howell claims he did not do nearly enough. But as he cheerfully recalled last year to a reunion of Civil Rights workers in southwest Georgia, his son’s eighth grade social studies paper had asserted, “There were three great leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, Martin Luther King, Junior, D.G. John Lewis, and my dad, Joseph T. Howell.” Howell’s diary of his and Embry’s experiARTIN ences during the summer of 1966 in southwest Georgia is the core of the new book. Howell recorded in detail the struggles of the rural black family with whom they lived, the door-to-door challenge of persuading blacks to buck the system by registering to vote and voting, the acquittal by an all white jury of the accused and very guilty white man, and the frustration of attending scheduled mass meetings that began hours late and had only 15 people in the audience. While the Howells were fighting white racism that summer, they found out that racism could work both ways. Early in the summer Howell learned about internal conflicts among the Civil Rights leaders in southwest Georgia. An inspirational fellow seminary student and leader of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Charles Sherrod, recruited the Howells and other white students to work for SNCC at its Southwest Georgia Project. What he Howells did not know was that just as they were signing up to work for SNCC, “the idea of moving from an integrated movement to an all-black movement was being fiercely debated within SNCC.” The advocates of “self defense” and “black self-determination” led by Stokely Carmichael won the debate over Sherrod, John Lewis and other advocates of SNCC’s original non-violent civil disobedience and integrated foundations. “But,” Howell writes, “we did not know this before we got down there and were the first to experience what it meant.” “What it meant” according to Howell’s diary was a summer of confusion and inept leadership taking on the monumental problems that faced an oppressed black population in the area. And it meant an adjustment of attitudes by the Howells as they worked for an organization and people who viewed whites as the enemy. Howell’s diary records his humiliation under the SNCC leadership on the same pages he describes the humiliations of the local blacks under the oppressive white power structure. It is a moving and well-told personal story, but, more importantly, an insider’s record of an often-overlooked part of the Civil Rights revolution. D pinion Look out for the invasion of rude people eware my dear readers, but, I’m afraid our beloved land is being invaded by rude people. Lately, I seem to be running into and hearing about these illtempered people whenever I leave my house. Last week, I was waiting for a friend to meet me at a golf course when a small car pulled into the lot and parked a spot over from me. I was busy scanning the entrance way looking for my friend and I hardly noticed the driver of that vehicle. A few minutes later, my friend wheeled into the lot and eased his car in the spot between me and the other driver. Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, the other driver came rushing around his car and began barking at my friend that he had parked too close to his vehicle. My friend and I were caught off guard by the guy’s angry outburst. Be- B cause the spaces were so small, my friend had parked somewhat close to his car, but there was plenty of room for my friend to open his door without striking the other guy’s vehicle. My friend climbed back into his car and began backing out of the spot, while I stood there in a state of shock, staring at this guy as he continued his tiJ.T. rade. MITH His face w a s twisted with rage and his fists were clenched tight as if he was ready to go 15 rounds with Mike Tyson in a boxing match. Finally, I decided that I’d heard all I could take from the jerk. I turned toward him, and said, “You S know, this is a heck of a way for my friend and me to start a round of golf with you out here yelling at us like we were stupid or something. I sure hope your day goes better than this because, obviously, it can’t get much worst.” He didn’t utter a word in response as I grabbed my golf clubs and walked away. A few days later, another friend told me about an equally rude person who he had encountered while waiting in line at a WalMart. He was standing in the express checkout lane directly behind a lady, who had a shopping cart that was overloaded with groceries. The woman working the cash register pleasantly explained to the lady that the express lane had a 20-item limit and she would have to move to another lane. “Well then,” the lady snapped. “I’ll let you ring up 20 items and I’ll pay for them. Then you can ring up 20 more items and I’ll pay for them. And we can just continue that process until I’m through.” The employee called the manager and explained the situation to him. The manager politely told the lady that she wouldn’t be allowed to checkout in the express lane. The lady glared at the manager, yanked her pocketbook off the cart and stormed out of the store, leaving the cart full of groceries where they were for the employees to restock. Obviously, the man in the golf course’s parking lot and the lady at the WalMart weren’t familiar with words like respect or manners. If they had been, certainly they wouldn’t act with such ill contempt in public. Hopefully, they wouldn’t behave like that at home, either. I wonder if they’ve ever paused to consider how their rude behavior appears to others? Quite frankly, it disgusts me. M n D.G.

Fear of losses may lead to negative investment behavior ike every other investor, you prefer not to see the value of your investments drop. But at some point they will fall simply because of the ups and downs of the market. And how you respond to short-term losses can help determine if you enjoy longterm investment success. Investors’ feelings about losses can be complex. In the field of economics, an area of study is devoted to “loss aversion” — the concept that people dislike losing money so much that, given a choice, they’d prefer to avoid losses rather than take gains. For example, if you have a high degree of loss aversion, then you will find greater dissatisfaction by losing $100 than you’d get satisfaction from taking a $100 profit. Loss aversion can lead to various forms of negative investment behavior. Here are two of the most common results: Seeking “risk-free” investments — When you think of investment L losses, the first thing that probably comes to mind is a drop in stock prices. If you’re really loss-averse, you might seek to avoid this situation FINANCIAL by simply FOCUS avoiding stocks and placing all y o u r money in other investments. JOHN T. While some of RAXTON t h e s e investments may seem “risk free,” you must consider factors such as inflation risk — the possibility that these investments may provide returns that don’t keep up with the rate of inflation. Holding “losers” too long — From time to time, you will own investments that, for whatever reason, underperform. If you’re highly loss- B averse, though, you may have a tough time acknowledging the losing nature of these investments, so you may be tempted to hold on to them until they “bounce back.” But if the investment’s fundamentals change, or if the investment no longer aligns with your goals, it may be time to sell it and look for other opportunities. Conversely, you may want to hold on to quality investments whose price has dropped in the short term, because these investments may well recover. How can you avoid these types of behavior? For starters, you’ll need to recognize the symptoms of loss aversion in yourself — and then resolve to overcome them. Accept the fact that short-term losses are part of investing and that every single investment carries some type of risk. This doesn’t mean, of course, that you should do nothing to reduce your risk. One effective risk-fighting measure you can take is to diversify your holdings by in- vesting in a variety of stocks, bonds, government securities, CDs and other investment vehicles. If you had all your holdings in only stocks or bonds, a downturn primarily affecting one of those assets could lead to a big hit for your portfolio. But by spreading your dollars among a variety of investments, you’re also spreading the risk. Keep in mind, though, that diversification by itself can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss. Investment losses, even short-term ones, aren’t much fun. But by not overreacting to these losses, and by diversifying your portfolio in a way that best meets your individual needs, you can look past today’s losses toward tomorrow’s possibilities. n John T.

Fuquay-Varina Independent, Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - 5A Saving money on hotels Chamber of Commerce Ambassador patrols make surprise visits ecently my family found themselves halfway across the United States and having to spend several days in hotels. While I love being frugal, I have to admit I will NOT stay in scary hotels to save a buck. While I do not FRUGAL want to stay in FAMILY the top of the line hotels, I insist we stay somewhere that is clean and that I do not fear for my life. The first thing I would recomSTEPHANIE EATON mend when staying in a hotel ARVIE is find out if the hotel offers any type of discounts. Many hotels offer discounts for seniors, AAA members or military. For example, we contacted a hotel and saved over $70 a night because they offered a military discount. Several hotels also offer deals. Some of the deals that we have experienced are that if you stay several nights with them you get nights free or if you have a preferred customer card with that hotel you receive discounts. I find if you simply do a little research you can save a lot of money. Another way we saved money this travel season is that we stayed in hotels that offered not only free breakfasts but also free dinners with your stays. We stayed at the Residence Inn, which offers free breakfasts and dinners during the week and free breakfasts on the weekends. The hotel also provided us with a full kitchen in our room so that we could save money by cooking our own meals and not having to rely on fast food. Another hotel chain we visited was the Drury Inn. This hotel chain also provided us with free breakfast and dinners. My kids loved it. I cannot tell you the massive amount of money we saved by not having to purchase our family breakfast or dinners during our stays at various hotels this summer. Another benefit to the Drury Inn and Residence Inn was that both hotels were pet friendly which allowed us to take our beloved Pug with us on our travels. Another tip I would recommend is to contact the hotel directly and do not just accept their rates on their websites. In every single case that we contacted the hotel directly, we received bigger savings than was offered to us online.

New Statewide Artist directory announced, application deadline is Aug. 15 The North Carolina Arts Council will produce a new online Artist Directory to connect actors, dancers, musicians, writers and visual artists living and working in the state with potential opportunities to reach new audiences. The deadline for artists to apply for the 2012–2014 Artist Directory is Monday, Aug. 15. “The Artist Directory will showcase the talent of artists in North Carolina while providing a range of ways artists can share their work and expertise with the public,” said Jeff Pettus, senior program director for artists and organizations. “The online format is an easy way for arts organizations, schools and presenters to find artists to hire for programs, residencies, commissions, workshops and other activities.” The new Artist Directory is a successor to the popular Touring Artist Directory, which has been produced by the Arts Council every two to three years since 1992. The directory expands the types of activities artists can CONTRIBUTED PHOTO promote to include not only performances, residencies and workshops but commissions, consultancies, guest curatorial work and artistic direction, mentoring and panel service. Amy Jo Wood Pasquini, marketing director for Our State magazine, frequently uses the Touring Artist Directory to book artists for the magazine’s Best of Our State events. “The expansion of the directory to other art forms will be extremely beneficial for those of us that incorporate artists into our programs and promotions,” Wood said. North Carolina artists who are at least 18 years of age and have been yearround residents of the state for at least a year immediately prior to the application deadline may apply. Students are not eligible. Guidelines for the directory can be found on the Arts Council’s home page at www.ncarts.org. Click on the link Artist Directory Deadline August 15.

Fuquay-Varina Independent, Wednesday, July 20, 2011 -7A Child nutrition services mails meal benefit applications to all families Every household with a child in Wake County Schools will be mailed a Free & Reduced price meal application this year, to ensure all parents are fully informed of the benefits. The decision to mail to every household provides an opportunity for every qualified family to enroll in the federal program. “We are mailing information directly to families and will work with schools to survey parents to ensure they have the chance to respond,” said Marilyn Moody, senior director of Child Nutrition Services. “The actual salary schedule will be on the application. Based on the number of family members, parents can determine if their salary income fits within those standards. We want to help families who are perhaps temporarily out of work, collecting unemployment or workers compensation, or any short-term situation that a family might be experiencing.” The parents of year-round students began receiving the six-page packet of information the week of July 4. Families must apply each year to receive the benefits. Families with students on a traditional calendar will receive their mailing in August. To assist families, schools and Child Nutrition Services will have additional copies of the forms, and Child Nutrition Services staff can help families complete the form. Parents can return the completed forms to their schools or to the Child Nutrition Services office address listed on the application. All CNS cafeteria managers can assist families in completing the application. Child Nutrition Services has bilingual staff at the CNS offices located at 1551 Rock Quarry Road available to help families. The office hours are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays, and the phone number is 856-2920. ANSWERS TO PUZZLES ON SUDOKU PAGE 3A CROSSWORD The Fuquay-Varina Independent is on Facebook!

This exciting musical service will begin at 6 p.m. For more than two decades, Tim Greene traveled with his popular musical family, The Greenes. Throughout those years the group achieved national and international notoriety, earning a Dove Award from the Gospel Music Association, as well as a Grammy Award. During that time, the talented songwriter penned more than 500 songs and ministered in churches, auditoriums and arenas nationwide. In 2000, Tim became paralized after being exposed to toxic black mold. This severe condition forced him to retire from the road and spend the next seven years in treatment for extended periods of time in various hospitals. Finally, in May of 2009, Tim experienced a miraculous healing, and since that time he has traveled nationwide sharing his story of that miraculous healing. In 2010, Tim’s youngest brother, Tony, passed away after complications from a kidney transplant. Under Tony’s leadership, The Greenes excelled tremendously, carrying the message of the Gospel in song throughout the country. Following Tony’s death, Tim began much soul searching, prayer and seeking God’s will for his life. Compelled by the burning desire to keep the Greenes’ musical ministry alive, Tim announced plans in January 2011 to organize The Tim Greene Trio. “We simply want to be obedient to whatever the Lord has in store,” Tim says. “My brother, Tony, dedicated his life to sharing the message of the Gospel in song. Growing up in the mountains of Boone, N.C., that was all we wanted to do, and in a small way, I believe this ministry will continue to keep that legacy alive. I know Tony would be pleased.” Make plans now to be a part of this special evening. All those in attendance at Piney Grove Chapel Baptist Church on Sunday, CONTRIBUTED PHOTO July 24 will truly be blessed and encouraged by Tim’s inspiring testimony and the musical The Tim Greene Trio (pictured) will be featured in an exciting worship service on Sunday, July 24 at 6 p.m. at Piney Grove ministry of the Trio.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Dangerous temperatures prompt warning from Safe Kids North Carolina RALEIGH — Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin, chair of Safe Kids North Carolina, reminds parents and caregivers to never leave a child unattended in a vehicle, for any length of time. With its soaring temperatures, July is historically the deadliest month for child fatalities in hot cars, but hyperthermia can occur even on days with mild 70 degree temperatures. Even a few minutes of heat exposure in a closed vehicle can kill a child or pet. Some of these deaths occur when a parent or caregiver accidentally forgets a child in a car; some occur when a child is intentionally left in a vehicle. In other cases, a child was playing in an unattended vehicle when overtaken by heat. “These deaths can be prevented,” said Goodwin. “Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle or let a child play in a vehicle. If you see a child alone in a car, call 911 right away.” Follow these safety tips from Safe Kids North Carolina: n Never leave a child alone in a vehicle. Check to make sure all children exit the vehicle when you reach your destination. n Lock the doors when your vehicle is parked. Teach children that cars are not places to play. n As a busy parent, you have a lot on your mind, so give yourself a reminder. Place your purse, briefcase or other important item in the backseat next to your child’s seat to help you remember to look in the back before leaving the car. n Set a reminder on your cell phone or other mobile device to remind you to drop off children at school or daycare when routines change. n Make an agreement with your child’s school or day care that you will be notified if your child is not dropped off at the normal time. n If you see a child or a pet left unattended in a vehicle, call 911 immediately. n Check vehicles and trunks first if a child goes missing.

The 21-year-old North Carolina native had been in France less than one full day and was already experiencing one of the most unimaginable horrors of war. Less than a week after the invasion of Normandy, Kidd arrived in Europe as a replacement soldier assigned to the 30th Infantry Division. He barely had time to become acquainted with his new surroundings when he was approached by his company’s sergeant. The sergeant didn’t waste much time on pleasantries. He told Kidd the unit had suffered a high number of casualties since D-Day, but replacements were plentiful. The problem wasn’t a lack of men, he said, but rather a lack of weapons for the men to use. Kidd struggled to believe the words he heard next. The sergeant was taking him and several other men on a weapons-gathering mission in a nearby field where an American unit had been nearly wiped out. The group was ordered to retrieve all weapons and ammunition from the bodies of the dead. What awaited Kidd in that field was a scene from a horrible nightmare. “This was a shocking experience for me,” said Kidd. “The guys were still lying in the field and some of them were swollen, bloated and had turned black from being in the heat. They would still have a grip on their rifle and two or three bandoleers of ammunition around their neck and you had to pull it off them. It was terrible being exposed to that type of thing.” As the men silently went about their terrible chore, Kidd tried not to look at the faces of the dead. It pained him to think of the families awaiting news of their fate back in America. But as Kidd went from body to body in search of tools of war, he struggled to maintain his composure. “I wanted to just throw my hands up and holler,” said Kidd. “It affected me but I kept it hidden. I knew what I had to do and I did it. I still kind of shiver when I think about it. You don’t know who (the soldiers) are or what happened. Some had a leg torn off or half their head was missing.” The enthusiasm to fight for his country, which had held such a tight grip on Kidd since the attack on Pearl Harbor, was suddenly tempered by the reality of war. Six decades later, a retrospective Kidd can only shake his head when he thinks how quickly his youthful innocence faded in that blood-stained field. “It was one of those things, looking back at it, that you think, ‘Why in the world did I ever get involved with something like this?” said Kidd. Unfortunately for Kidd, it was a question that would prove applicable repeatedly during his time in the war. Color blind Growing up on a Surry County farm in the 1920s and ‘30s meant hard work and lots of it. The farm of Thomas Jefferson Kidd and his wife, Bertia, was no exception. The Kidds raised seven children – four boys and three girls – on their farm near Mt. Airy and each one was given a list of chores at a very early age. “My dad would assign us chores without any formality,” said Kidd, who was born in 1923. “We all did what we had to do or else.” If any of the children ever thought about complaining they kept it to themselves, especially when they saw how hard their mother worked. “My mother was in the fields like everyone else,” said Kidd. “Then she would have to come back to the house and prepare supper. It was a real working family.” Despite all the work, Kidd remembers his childhood with plenty of fondness. But the close-knit family suffered a terrible blow in 1940 when Bertia passed away. “I didn’t miss a day of school until my senior year of high school when my mother died,” said Kidd. An enthusiastic student who loved to learn, Kidd was eager to attend N.C. State University and study agriculture. The problem, however, was trying to find a way to pay for it. With some financial help from his brother, Kidd decided to travel to Raleigh in the fall of 1941 and enroll in school. If things didn’t work out he could at least find some solace in the knowledge that he gave it his best shot. Fortune finally smiled on Kidd when a sympathetic professor befriended him. “When you have a (big) family like we had and you had a bad year and tobacco was only brining four or five cents a pound, there’s not too much money available to go to school,” said Kidd. “I couldn’t afford to pay anything but I had an ag teacher who sort of took me under his wing. “He took me to lunch at Ma Hudson’s diner on Hillsborough Street and it turned out she was hiring. I didn’t know anything about waiting on tables but I was eager and she hired me.” Focused on school and his job, Kidd didn’t pay attention to the rumors that America might soon go to war. “Talk about war didn’t faze me too much,” said Kidd. “A 17 or 18-year-old guy isn’t going to be too concerned about it. But later on, when we had to register for the draft and ROTC, that was the only thing I got straight A’s in.” The talk about war shifted from speculation to PHOTO BY SHAWN DALEY Raleigh resident Claude Kidd experienced plenty of combat in France before being captured by the Germans.

After hearing about it on the radio, the thought of all those warships under attack was difficult for Kidd to comprehend. “It was hard for me to imagine because I had never even seen a big ship,” said Kidd. But it wasn’t ships that Kidd was interested in anyway. He was enamored with the thought of flying and signed up in 1942 to become a pilot. Those lofty dreams were quickly grounded. “I just loved the air corps, so I joined,” said Kidd. “I went for my medical tests and everything was going great. Then they did an eye test. ‘Well, Mr. Kidd, that is the end of your air corps career. You are color blind.’ From that time on I was in the infantry.” Kidd was sent to Camp Wheeler, Ga., for basic training before receiving advanced instruction at camps in Florida. It was during his early days in the military that Kidd began to realize how isolated he had been on his family farm. “I was a real country boy,” said Kidd. “I went with a buddy to visit his parents in Boston. They lived in one of those big skyscrapers. You had to take an elevator and I couldn’t believe it. I never saw anything like that before.” American units continue to absorb high casualties while fighting among the hedgerows. His company went through five sergeants in a matter of weeks. “We had this country boy in our unit, I can’t remember his name, who was sitting with us one day when they brought our new sergeant,” said Kidd. “He looked at him and said, ‘Welcome to France, sergeant. That makes you the fifth one we’ve had so far.” Through the next several weeks, Kidd experienced fierce combat in the hedgerows and in the push to capture the town of St. Lo. By the time the Americans captured it, St. Lo was little more than a rubble heap. “They brought in trucks, re-equipped us and moved us out,” said Kidd. “We went right through what was left of the town. We had to zigzag because the streets were all bombed out. I was so happy to leave that area because it was nothing but bad, bad corruption.” Kidd’s unit was sent to an area outside of Mortain, France and dug in on a rocky outcrop known as Hill 314. FROM PAGE 3B “You couldn’t dig a hole any deeper than (two feet) because it was a rocky area,” said Kidd. “So you dug as deep as you could and then fortified it as well as you could with boards or whatever else on top.” Kidd, now a newly promoted sergeant, didn’t even have time to finish digging his foxhole when a captain ordered him and two other soldiers to make contact with a unit hunkered down in a nearby barn. The mission didn’t seem overly hazardous and Kidd felt little trepidation as the trio set off on foot to locate the unit. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Had Kidd realized they were walking into the midst Dead German soldiers lay next to destroyed armored vehicles following of a major German counter- heavy fighting near Mortain, France. offensive he may have felt a little different. Within hours, the entire area would be thick with German panzers and troops. By the next day, Kidd would be a prisoner of war. Part two of this story will appear in next week’s edition.
