John Henry Hammond HIGH POINT – John Henry Hammond lived life to the fullest. There is no question about that. His curious disposition, hearty laugh and greeting for everyone, was his standard. John was born to Alice Keno Hammond and John Henry Hammond Sr. in High Point, North Carolina on October 10th 1924. He migrated to New York City with his family at the age of 5 and was the eldest of his 3 sisters Gloria, Lela and Louise. John’s family later moved back to High Point so he was well known in both New York and North Carolina. John’s professional interests were split between the Funeral Home Business for well over twenty years as well as the Furniture Business. He attended church when the spirit hit him. He lived his life the way he wanted to with no apologies and walked the streets as if he had drummers behind him. He leaves behind two daughters, Shawn Stewart and LaJan Hammond, nine grandchildren, Jonil, Nathaniel, Nashon and Juwan Stewart and Anthony, Desmond, Niaeame, Brianna and Ashyia Hammond, numerous cousins in New York as well as his nephew and once wife, now good friend Peggy Hammond of High Point. A celebration of his life will be held at 7 p.m. today at Johnson & Sons Funeral Home, 206 Fourth St., High Point. He will be missed and remembered fondly.

Parents seek charges against baby sitter MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
JACKSONVILLE – The parents of a toddler who drowned earlier this week in a rainfilled roadside ditch want the child’s baby sitter arrested. Nineteen-month-old Sadie Lavina Gates drowned when she wandered out of mobile home at 3390 Burgaw Highway and fell into a drainage ditch. She was swept away by storm water, carried underneath N.C. 53 and found floating face down on the opposite side of the highway, authorities said. The girl’s parents, Sean and Heather Gates, told reporters they want to see justice for their daughter. “I feel the closest thing to hatred I’ve ever felt,� Sean Gates said, adding that he knew judgment was up to God. The Gates met with Onslow County Sheriff’s detectives Wednesday. Sheriff Ed Brown said he understood their pain. “I’d expect any good parents to feel that way,� he said, adding that the investigation hasn’t revealed which way the case will go. Brown said his detectives continue to investigate the events surrounding the toddler’s drowning and have conferred with prosecutors. Attempts to reach the babysitter were unsuccessful. The Gates said the day Sadie died was only her fourth time she had been kept by the babysitter.

‘Bonnie and Clyde’ director Penn dies NEW YORK (AP) – “Bonnie and Clyde� wasn’t a movie that director Arthur Penn wanted to make, but when he finally agreed to, he made sure that the violence provoked by the lawbreaking couple from the 1930s – and that led to the protagonists’ bullet-riddled demise – wasn’t disguised. “I thought that if were going to show this, we should SHOW it,� Penn recalled. “We should show what it looks like when somebody gets shot.� His cinematic art, he noted, only reflected the times: TV coverage of Vietnam “was every bit, perhaps even more, bloody than what we were showing on film.� The director died Tuesday night, a day
after his 88th birthday, leaving behind films – most notably “Bonnie and Clyde� and “Little Big Man� – that refashioned movie and American history, made and broke myths, and sealed a generation’s affinity for outsiders. Daughter Molly Penn said her father died at his home in Manhattan of congestive heart failure. A memorial service will be held by year’s end, longtime friend and business manager Evan Bell said Wednesday. Penn – younger brother of the photographer Irving Penn – first made his name on Broadway as director of the Tony Award-winning plays “The Miracle Worker� and “All the Way Home,� then rose as a film director in the 1960s.
Jury in police-killing case begins deliberations
FUNERAL
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
CHARLOTTE – The jury in the murder trial of Demeatrius Montgomery, accused in the shooting deaths of Charlotte-Mecklenburg police Officers Jeff Shelton and Sean Clark, began deliberations Wednesday In closing arguments, Assistant District Attorney Marsha Goodenow portrayed Montgomery as a man who hated police. She said Clark and Shelton had no reason to think Montgomery was a threat on the night of March 31, 2007. “They had no reason to know that a man with that kind of hatred was sitting on the porch waiting for them,� she said. Goodenow also told jurors that Montgomery had not been framed. “Do you really think the Charlotte police department wants the real killer to walk the streets free?� she asked jurors.
Fields Lord LEXINGTON – James Fields Lord, 77, died September 29, 2010. Memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. Friday at Churchland Baptist Church. Arrangements by Davidson Funeral Home, Lexington.
