Drunken Ohio Couple Tries to Steal Bacon
Bacon is pretty darn irresistible. If you have had a few drinks, I can see why you'd fine it even tastier. After all, as we've discussed, bacon is great for a hangover. But even those of us who are proud inhabitants of the Republic of Bacon have to acknowledge there is a limit to bacon love. That limit is when bacon love turns into bacon crime. Most recently, that line was crossed by a drunken Ohio couple.
A Bacon in the Store is Worth Two in the Pants
Sarah and Gerald McCoy went into a Circle K convenience store on December 28th, 2010. They had been drinking. According to local law officials, Sarah tried to make off with two packages of bacon by jamming them under her clothes. Unfortunately for her, she tried to do it in front of the coolers. As one of the Circle K employees was stocking the shelves in the cooler at the time, Sarah McCoy was easily spotted. Apparently, according to the law officials, she was so drunk she didn't even see the employee. (I think you can guess where this is going.)
Even worse, when they were leaving, Sarah allegedly tried to steal some nuts as well. Fed up with the shenanigans, one of the store's employees tried to stop the couple. Frightened, they ran off. Perhaps as an attempt to shake off the cops or because she lost her grip on the sweet, sweet bacon, Sarah McCoy dropped the bacon in the store's parking lot. Due to this fortunate act, the bacon was safely recovered and returned to the store. A short while later, Sarah and Gerald McCoy were arrested by the police. I hate to say it, but it just goes to show you: no matter how tasty, crime does not pay.
Is bacon theft a trend?
This is not an isolated incident of drunken bacon theft. Although there is no suspect in a previous case of bacon theft we told you about – the family in England who woke up to find their house had been robbed of bacon – the time of the occurence and the fact that only bacon was stolen suggests that the thief might have been a bit drunk. People are even admitting to it on the anonymous answer sites. Is this a growing trend among the intoxicated?
If this is the case, I have only this to say: folks, let's all keep a clear head. We know that bacon is delicious, and that it is the perfect food for a hangover. But we can't go around stealing other people's bacon. How would you feel if people were stealing your bacon? There are perfectly lawful channels to go through. The supermarkets, for instance, are filled with delicious bacon. Maple Leaf's various brands are cheap and plentiful. If you are running out of bacon at home when you are drunk, I advise you: plan ahead, and buy some bacon for emergencies. Just as you should always have a designated driver, I recommend that you should always have some designated bacon.
Do you have some designated bacon? What do you do when a bacon craving strikes if you've had a few too many?

By JEROME PUGMIRE
(AP) EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France - The first day of play at the Evian Championship was washed out Thursday after heavy morning rain soaked the newly-designed course.
Players were on the course for less than one hour before being forced to come off, and organizers decided to restart the round on Friday with Thursday's scores annulled.
"We've had nearly four inches of rain since Saturday and the golf course is extremely saturated at this point," said Heather Daly-Donofrio, the LPGA's senior vice president of tour operations. "It was clear when competitors were out this morning that conditions weren't conducive to a fair and equitable competition. So the plan is to scratch those scores from today and have all players restart the first round tomorrow."
Officials still hope to complete the tournament on time by playing 36 holes on Sunday.
"It's a major championship, and the goal will be to complete 72 holes (on time)," Donofrio said. "So we're going to continue to watch the forecast over the next couple of days."
The weather forecast for Friday and Saturday is for clear skies and, providing there is enough daylight, players can usually keep playing until about 7:30 p.m.
It is not an unprecedented situation, especially this season, with 36 holes played on Sunday at both the LPGA Championship in June and at last month's Women's British Open.
"The one thing you can't control is the weather. Our players are all professionals and they know this," Daly-Donofrio said. "The LET (Ladies European Tour) players were joking in the locker room today that they have had so many tournaments that were delayed or canceled for rain this year."
The tournament, formerly known as the Evian Masters, is making its debut as the fifth major on the calendar. Over the past year, architects have undertaken a multimillion redesign.
"(It) was built under extreme conditions this winter. I've been here under the snow with the workers, I think every time I came in it (was) either rain, snow, sleet," Daly-Donofrio said. "Then we had extremely high temperatures in August ... The high temperatures really compacted the soil on the new course and then with the excessive rain we've had this week, the course is not able to absorb all the water."
Top-ranked Inbee Park of South Korea, the defending champion, is looking to become the first professional golfer to win four majors in a year.
After winning the U.S. Women's Open in June for her third consecutive major of 2013, Park's bid for a fourth straight ended at the British Open, when she four-putted for double bogey on the first hole of the final round.
But she is still the overwhelming favorite at Evian, having won six tournaments this year and leading both the U.S. LPGA Tour money list and player of the year race.

Arkadelphia is a city in Clark County, Arkansas, United States.

Two universities, Henderson State University and Ouachita Baptist University, are located there. Arkadelphia was incorporated in 1857.
The site was settled in about 1809 by John Hemphill, operator of a nearby salt works, Arkansas's first industry. It was known as Blakelytown until 1839, when the settlement adopted the name Arkadelphia. Origin of the name "Arkadelphia" is uncertain. One possibility is that it was formed by combining Ark- from the state's name Arkansas and adelphia from the Greek meaning "brother/place".[3] Another possibility is that the city was named after Arkadelphia, Alabama, a small community just north of Birmingham. Many early settlers of the area arrived from that state, and it was a common practice at the time to name newly founded communities after ones that the settlers had left behind.
Arkadelphia is located in northeastern Clark County at 34°7′19″N 93°3′58″W / 34.12194°N 93.06611°W (34.121920, -93.066178),[4] on the west bank of the Ouachita River.

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is opening a new front against former Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe in the Commonwealth's governor's race this year, seeking to tie McAuliffe to organized labor in a decidedly anti-Big Labor state.
Cuccinelli has dubbed his rival "Union Terry." He calls himself "Frugal Ken." It's becoming a governor's race between really unpopular action figures.
But Cuccinelli's campaign went one step further on Friday, saying flatly in an interview circulated by his campaign that McAuliffe of opposes Right to Work legislation, which Virginia adopted decades ago, altogether. But there's not much evidence that McAuliffe actually feels that way.
Though McAuliffe said during his 2009 campaign that he would sign collective bargaining legislation, he has since said, repeatedly, that he would not do anything to overturn the Commonwealth's right to work laws. Back in January, McAuliffe said at an event for the National Federation of Independent Business, "We are a great right-to-work state. We should never change that."
Earlier this week McAuliffe was less concrete. "I'm going to work with management. I'm going to work with labor. I'm going to work with everybody to move Virginia forward. It's not 'either-or.' We are a right-to-work state that has been here for many years, and it's not going to change," McAuliffe told the Washington Post. And, of course, McAuliffe has taken $723,730 from organized labor groups this cycle, according to data compiled by the Virginia Public Access Project.
After conservatives and editorial boards jumped on his comments to the Post this week, McAuliffe clarified his stance. "Right to work has been the law here in Virginia for 65 years, and I wouldn't change it -- plain and simple," McAuliffe told the Richmond Times-Dispatch on Thursday.
How does Cuccinelli's campaign reconcile their allegations with McAuliffe's past statements? When shown McAuliffe's quote and asked how the campaign could claim that McAuliffe opposed right to work, Cuccinelli spokeswoman Anna Nix responded that McAuliffe "has a history of supporting unions, making money off of unions, and contracting with unions in right-to-work states" -- a reference to McAuliffe's comment during another 2009 debate that he had contributed money out of his own pocket in order to hire organized laborers in non-union states. "His history speaks for itself," Nix said.

Okay, here's another quick report. I'm not sure how many know, but I had family visiting recently and I took them out and about our little hamlet.
My cousin was an excellent swimmer in his day and flew out here in 1994 to do some training for the Olympics. He did not qualify. But he came out alone and my aunt and uncle did not get a chance to see this place.
Until now.
It's not very big, that's for sure---and it's built on an old AirForce base. All the buildings are renovated from the barracks.
These are some really good kids and the regimented schedule they have them training on keeps them mostly out of trouble. Roulon Gardner (sic?), the famed Greco-Roman wrestler still lives here, from my understanding, with his teacher-wife.
I work about two blocks from this location.
One thing you'll notice...the place is empty. Can you guess why?
Yep...They are all in Beijing.
The American Team is a bit different-though the government is involved in its administration, the team works completely off of donation. We are the only team to do so. So, please, open minded groups like Hershey's, McDonald's and Home Depot give greatly to our team and this facility. Makes shopping with them a bit easier.
A huge sculpture out in front celebrates the Olympians. Yes, they are all beautiful and yes, you do kinda wanna hurt them profusely for some reason.
The winter sports tend to train at Lake Placid, but from the tour, I got the impression that several sports crosstrain at each facility. Some through camps, some through full time location training. And, like this statute, they are hilariously fit. It's almost creepy.
As many of you know, I tend to watch and enjoy boxing. I did not know this tale until I arrived. Apparently, our boxing team flew to Poland to train with their boxers--but the plane when down in the process, losing several of our 'golden gloves.' Hence this really cool memorial. I forgot to make a note of when it happened...seems like I remember the early nineties. Anyone know? I'll google it.
Okay, this was the wicked sign at the entrance--I hope you can see it. "2" days until Beijing! That was neat to see.
Two torches and various memorabilia. Our librarian, a long distance runner, was elected for the most recent winter Olympics as a torch bearer. She even got to keep the torch afterwards. For some reason, the torch did not arrive from Beijing and tour this location.
This wall was a montage of all the previous Olympians that trained here. We knew a few, but, for the life of us, we couldn't find their pictures. The other thing we noticed, they all look about the same age. The computer kiosks were prepped for immediate access for all things Beijing related.
Okay, I'll post more later!
Thanks for readin'!
Peace, as always,

As of Tuesday, February 21, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY The Albany City Commission signaled a desire Tuesday to abandon its Small Business Program facilitator over concerns of costs and productivity.
The commission tentatively voted 3-2, with Commissioners Bob Langstaff and Ivey Hines absent, not to renew a $100,000 contract it has with Georgia Tech to administer its Small Business Program.
While the vote is not binding until taken at Tuesday's regular night meeting, the measure will still need four votes to renew the contract.
Albany Mayor Dorothy Hubbard, along with Commissioners Jon Howard and Christopher Pike voted against renewing the contract, while Commissioners Tommie Postell and Roger Marietta voted in support.
"Before I can vote to renew a contract, I need to see what the accomplishments are, and what you've been able to do with the money we've already given," Hubbard said after the meeting. "And I'm also curious as to how the services you're providing to us for a fee different that what you offer the public for free."
Hubbard said she also had reservations about a change in how the $100,000 fee will be paid out.
Commissioner Christopher Pike said during the meeting that he believes that the services the city is hiring Georgia Tech to perform are similar to ones offered by other organizations like the Albany-Area Chamber of Commerce and that the city should consider taking advantage of them and possibly saving some money.
"I'll be honest, there are entities here in Albany that do these services for small businesses," Pike said. "I'm concerned we're giving Tech $100,000 and 50 to 60 percent of that is heading to Atlanta. Could we have the 11 businesses using local services?"
Chuck Schadl, the executive director of the Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Program, told commissioners that he believed the results of the program through January seem to suggest progress.
"I believe that the increase in the number of contract awards suggest we're moving in the right direction," Schadl said.
Schadl said that, under the Albany program, that 11 businesses in Albany and Dougherty County had received $6.3 million in local, state and federal contracts as of November.
Of those 11, five had become certified small businesses through the program and received $1.7 million in government contracts.
In January, the program added six new firms to the mix, Schadl said.
William Wright, the former executive director of the Albany Branch of the NAACP and currently the president and CEO of an agency called the Albany EDC, handed out copies of a press release and a letter addressed to City Manager James Taylor, Hubbard and to commissioners and the media challenging the validity of the Albany program.
"The City of Albany via the so called ASBE has almost completely dismantling (sic) affirmative action for the entire Albany City Commission," Wright writes. "...The Albany Small Business Plan, as in the future, will only operate to destroy Black businesses of the City of Albany."

Don't know....but one that frequently serviced him and his friends has passed away....
Sorry, my emotions got the best of me after reading the first paragraph....the rest was just a blur....Maybe this is a good thing....Sure tired of losing!!!
Does this mean he will be renouncing his ownership in the Steelers?? PD please respond.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. When will the Browns get any class? For me the way they treat players is just as embarrassing as what they've been putting on the field as a "product". Colt got a raw deal and the Browns should be embarrassed.
How would you have like to take that hit from Harrison at the end of the season and then get replaced so ungraciously? The Browns hit Colt like Harrison did....both will have lasting effects on his life! Sad....
Perhaps this is a bit naive, but why don't the banks have some type of insurance on this debt? It could be a required fee upfront when the loan is made to insure that they will get paid in the event of death or castostrophic injury which leaves the borrower unable to pay? They sure figured out a way to be creative with mortgages and interest rates....why not student loans?
Who is Abigail?? Mr. Wexner is very homosexual....?
Mazel tov, enjoy!
What I want to know is why did only $400,000 out of 3million raised go to research in a city with such medical know-how?
Mazel Tov Kenny....Don't spend too much time in the casino, though!
Loved the show. Sad news he was still a young man.
Really? Just like politics.....how quickly they forget! The man CAN'T win a championship and who wants a quitter in the last round of playoff games? Keep him....I'd rather struggle with our sports teams than let this scumbag come back to town to spit on us again!!!!
wow.....you sound little bitter....just an observation.....
Perhaps you missed this part of the article, "Colt doesn't remember anything after taking a vicious helmet to helmet hit" or this, " He was nauseated and he didn't know who he was." And if that's not enough to convince you how about this, "After the game, the (public relations staff) made sure Colt's interview was brief and he couldn't face the lights in his press conference,'' said Brad. "The TV lights and the Stadium lights were killing him. Why would you say he was fine? That makes it even worse.''
I'm am sure that play was visible to the coach and probably replayed on the Megatron, just in case he failed to see the head collision. "They looked at his (left) hand.'' This coach should be hung from the rafters for not being more aware of the potential for a devastating injury. I don't know why Harrison was not fined for that hit and removed from the game. Colts dad clearly has had many years experience on the football field and made a career out of it as a coach. Shumur should be ashamed of himself. Fact is, this season is a total loss. Forfeit the rest of the games and quit embarrassing yourself Coach. Holmgren, I was your biggest cheerleader, but this team is a disgrace. Only a few players show up every week to play a professional sport and the rest just collect a paycheck!! Colt you had a great game- I wish you the best and I hope you feel better soon.

I watch CBS Sunday Mornings every week, while I didn't always agree with Andy, I will miss his him.. RIP Mr. Rooney....

Yes, you are right. We seem to be lacking a collective respect for each other all the way around though.
I feel sorry for his children and his ex-wife....how can he live with himself after what he did to his family? That being said, he should be made to work in legal aid helping with custody cases....I'm told legal aid will not provide assistance with custody matters...Put him to work helping single poor underemployed or unemployed parents!! Maybe then he can regain the respect of his children. Seems he might need to humble himself a bit....600 hours of community service seems a little light considering what he cost the taxpayers with respect to what the female victims were paid!
Sorry to hear the fields need some work. Has anyone tapped the Alumni? A few of the graduates of my generation that come to mind, include Jim Brickman (Musician), Molly Shannon (Actress), James (Jim) Frey (Author), David Pogue (CBS News, Columnist NY Times)..... there are many others whose names escape me now but...maybe they have a soft spot for their school...We were a tight knit group and I would be happy to contact them if needed....or maybe you've already thought about it. Sad that families whose businesses have been supported by the people of Shaker, such as the Seidmans, Leikens, Ozanne's, and Fisher's (Lee) can't pitch in a bit to get the job done.
"Obama to announce..." It is Pres. Obama....just like it is Gov. Kasich!!! If the Governor is referred to by his official title, why isn't the President? Disgraceful for professional journalists' at the AP. Here I'll give you a suggestion, "Pres. to announce new steps to help housing woes"...it's one letter shorter but respectful. Geez....
My deepest condolences to the Kurland family. I practically grew up in their restaurant and it is well known among my friends and family it is still one of my favorite restaurants in Cleveland. Thank you for the jewel that is Corky and Lenny's.

I am so glad you have stopped by my web site. I would love for you to browse around, look at some of my quilts and see the workshops and lectures I have to offer. My husband, Joe, says I am so passionate about my quilting and he is correct. I love to quilt. I am also passionate about teaching. I enjoy sharing what I have learned with others.
I consider myself very lucky that my quilts have won awards and have been shown on the covers of magazines, including Quilter's Newsletter Magazine. I recently read a wonderful quote from Oprah. "Luck is preparation meeting opportunity. If you hadn't been prepared when the opportunity came along, you wouldn't have been lucky." So even though I have been very lucky along my journey some if it is because I have worked very hard to improve with each and every quilt I make.
I hope you enjoy your journey looking through my web site and will feel free to contact me if you should have any questions.
I have good news and bad news for those of you who are collecting 60/2 Mettler threads for your hand applique. (By the way, I love this thread.) The good news.....Mettler has added many new colors!!!! Yippeeee!!!! I think this is very exciting. More colors make me happy. However, they discontinued some colors, changed the dye on some previous colors and changed their numbering system. That means we've had to revamp our thread packs that we sell on the site.
Thread packs #25 to #41 are all new.
New pack #26 is called "Purple People Eater"
(Just for fun, we name all of our thread packs.)
are finally here. When the original pins came out I was trying to have a shorter version made but my manufacturer said they could not do it. Sometimes it pays to revisit the question and beg a little!
This shorter version has all of the same characteristics of the original Perfect Pins but are 1" in length. The orginals are 1 1/2" in length.
Other exciting news. The pattern for

is ready to ship. I've been getting emails from many of you asking when it would be ready.

Perfect Adjustable Square
I have been working on an idea for a couple of years. One of my most feared steps, related to applique, is when I have to square the block after I have finished my applique. I, like many other appliquers, prefer to cut our background fabric larger and then square the block to size when the applique is complete. The reason I have always hesitated at this step is....what if I do it incorrrectly and have to make the block over again?
With the Karen Kay Buckley's Perfect Adjustable Square™ the fear is removed.
In your beautiful decorative storage box you receive: 4 corner units, 4 one inch, 4 two inch, 4 four inch and four eight inch pieces. 20 pieces in all. These pieces snap together similar to a puzzle piece. It will allow you to build a square from 4", the inside of the square is in whole numbers, and up to a 24 1/2" square, the outside is in 1/2" increments. You can easily use your rotary cutter along the outside of the Perfect Adjustable Square™.

By Sgt. 1st Class Doug Sample, USAAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5, 2005 Though the military has had a role in presidential inaugurations since George Washington took office, President Bush has requested that the military play an even more prominent role when he's sworn in for his second term Jan. 20.
"That was the president's choice," Mississippi Sen. Trent Lott told reporters during a conference call today from Capitol Hill announcing events for this year's inaugural program.
The inaugural ceremony will take place on the west front of the U.S. Capitol, and will feature patriotic musical performances before a crowd expected to number 250,000.
Lott, who heads the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, said the "emphasis of the day and recognition of the military will be more than usual," adding that the president wanted a "prominence of military unit participation." The committee is charged with the oversight and planning of the presidential inauguration and related ceremonies on the U.S. Capitol grounds.
Military participation during inaugural ceremonies traditionally includes musical units, marching bands, color guards, firing details and salute batteries.
Though the theme for the inauguration -- "A Vision of America" -- commemorates American exploration, development and conservation, Lott added that the ceremony will show the country's gratitude for the military.
"This is about a vision of the future of America, but it's also a way to express our appreciation for the great job our military is doing around the world," the senator explained. "I think that throughout the day, and throughout the whole week, you will see every opportunity taken to express our appreciation to the military."
Navy Capt. Curt Reilly, director of public affairs for the Armed Forces Inaugural Committee, said the Defense Department is working with the Presidential Inaugural Committee to get invitations for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom troops to attend some of the inaugural events.
Much of the entertainment for the ceremony will be provided by military bands and singers. Scheduled to perform at the 2005 inaugural ceremony will be the U.S. Naval Academy Glee Club and the "President's Own" U.S. Marine Corps Band. Also performing will be the Army Herald Trumpets and the Navy Sea Chanters.
Lott noted that for the first time in inaugural history, the Air Force will have a performing role. The U.S. Air Force Band will accompany tenor vocalist Air Force Tech. Sgt. Bradley Bennett, a member of the Air Force "Singing Sergeants," in performing the national anthem. Lott said Bennett's rendition of the "Star-Spangled Banner" should provide "one of the most memorable moments of the whole day."
Bennett, a native of Kent, Ohio, where he earned a degree in vocal music from Kent State University, said being chosen to sing at the inauguration is a "tremendous honor."
"It's very humbling, especially since it's the Air Force's first time," he said. "And I would just like to say 'thank you' again for this tremendous opportunity."
Following the swearing-in ceremony, the president will sign Cabinet nominations and later join invited guests for the traditional congressional luncheon. After lunch, he will then be escorted by Army Maj. Gen. Galen Jackman, commander of the Military District of Washington, to the east side of the U.S. Capitol for the pass in review of military units. Once again, the focus will be on the military, as some 400 military troops will march.
When a reporter suggested that some might expect a lower- key ceremony with the nation at war, Lott noted the president's desire to use the event to salute the people serving the nation in uniform. "I don't know how you would have made it lower-key and still have been able to express your appreciation verbally and vocally for what (military people) have done," the senator said.

Dorothy Carpenter Bullock
Durham – Mrs. Dorothy Carpenter Bullock, a life-long Durham resident and wife of the late Benjamin Walter Bullock, died peacefully at Seasons at Southpoint Memory Facility on Monday, January 14, 2013 from complications from Alzheimer's.
Dorothy, or "Miss Dot" or "Grammy Dot" as she was affectionately known, was born on August 19, 1940 to Nena Mae Smith Carpenter and Henry Perry Carpenter. She lived on Lynch St. throughout her childhood, graduated from Durham High School in 1958, and then attended the Watts School of Nursing where she graduated in 1961 as a Registered Nurse.
While a student at Watts, she met Ben Bullock, a new pharmacy graduate. They married September 2, 1961, and began their life together at 3136 Dixon Road, in a house that she continued to own and consider her residence.
Dorothy started work as a nurse for Dr. Leroy Izlar but left in the first year to begin her family. She spent many years as a devoted room-mother at Hope Valley Elementary School. She was a life long member of Grace Baptist Church, of which she was very active, most recently serving as the coordinator of their visiting ministry. Dorothy also volunteered time with the Mortar and Pestle Club of N.C. (Pharmaceutical Wives), Durham Junior Women's Club, Girl Scouts of N.C., Durham High School Class of '58 Alumni Association, and the Watts School of Nursing Alumni Association. She returned to work after her children were in school, and enjoyed many years of service in Employee Health at Liggett & Myers, Durham Regional Hospital, and Burroughs Welcome. She finished her career as a staff nurse at the Duke Student Infirmary.
Dorothy leaves to cherish her memory her children, W. Perry Bullock of Fairfax, Virginia, daughter, Karen Lynn Bullock of Durham, and daughter, Susan B. Chesser and husband, William, of Durham. She also leaves her precious grandchildren, Sarah, Stephen, and Ben Chesser, of Durham. Dorothy is survived by a beloved brother, Jack Carpenter and his wife, Doris, of Galax, Virginia; as well as sister-in-law, Francis B. Harris, of Creedmoor; and numerous nieces and nephews on both sides of the family. She also leaves many, many dear friends, for Dorothy never met a stranger.

June 23, 1931 - January 11, 2013
CHAPEL HILL — James Joseph "Jim" Crawford, Ph.D, 81, recognized as "one of the founders of modern infection control in dentistry," passed away on Friday, Jan. 11, 2013. He was born June 23, 1931 in Springfield, Ill. to the late Marianna Merlow Crawford and Lewis A. Crawford.
A resident of Chapel Hill since 1956, Jim is fondly remembered for being devoted to his Heavenly Father, to his family who surrounded him during his last days, and to his life's work as a professor of microbiology and an expert in dental infection control at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Dentistry.
Before retiring in 1996, Jim contributed significantly to the study of life-threatening pathogens, their laboratory diagnosis, treatment and control. In fact, the Dr. James J. Crawford Award, presented by the Office Sterilization and Asepsis Procedures Research Foundation (OSAP), honors his lifetime achievements in the field of dental infection control. This award is given each year to an outstanding infection control leader in the U.S. His comprehensive research, recommendations and guidelines have been adopted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and incorporated into dental textbooks, lectures, regulatory documents and everyday dental practices.
Jim's pioneering work in microbiology and infection control helped prevent the spread of the hepatitis B virus and later AIDS within dentistry. His presentation, "If Saliva Were Red," demonstrated the cross contamination that occurs from a practitioners' saliva-covered fingers and led to the teaching and practice of the use of dental gloves and improved instrument sterilization. Another study helped make root canals much safer and less likely to fail.
Jim's interest in pathogens began early. After he graduated from Springfield High School in 1948, he attended the Gradwohl School of Medical Technology in St. Louis, Mo., where he gained a healthy respect for microbes. This early education motivated him to continue at the University of Missouri, earning a bachelor and master's degrees in microbiology.
In 1954 he began his doctoral studies at the University of Minnesota and ended with a Ph.D in microbiology from the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill in 1962.
While a microbiology post doctorate at the UNC School of Medicine from 1962 to 1963, Jim conducted head and neck research to learn about the bacteria in nasal passages that caused hearing loss among cleft palate children. This research led him to study the anaerobic flora of the mouth and dental infections in collaboration with the Chairman of Endodontics at the UNC School of Dentistry, whose department he subsequently joined.
Over the next 18 years at UNC, Jim became an assistant professor at the dental school (1963-1971); developed and directed a unique clinical diagnostic/research microbiology laboratory that conducted culture evaluations of head and throat infections (1971-1996); and became a full professor (1980-1996).
During his career, he made presentations to the National Society for Dental Education and spoke at more than 50 dental schools across the country. In 1975, he became a consultant to the American Dental Association's (ADA) Council on Dental Therapeutics and its Council on Dental Materials, Instruments and Equipment. In 1988 he became a consultant for the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. He was a founding officer of OSAP and the Society for Infection Control in Dentistry. He also chaired the Microbiology Section of the Association of American Dental Schools.
His publications on identifying diseases of the head and neck, the prevention of transmitting infectious diseases, and the safe use of dental equipment and procedures, are too many to list. However, one of his major accomplishments was co-authoring a chapter on Infection Control in "Sturdevant's Art and Science of Operative Dentistry," a No. 1-selling dental textbook.
As Jim once said, his burning desire was "to take microbiology out of the basic textbook and make it relevant and useful to the dentist." By all accounts, he did this, and he attributed his success to God.
To family and friends, Jim was much more than "a contemporary Louis Pasteur" on the trail of dangerous pathogens. He was a devout Christian who studied the Bible so faithfully that his family awarded him an honorary Ph.D in Biblical studies in 2009. Likewise, he was appreciated for his love of nature and music, and his enjoyment of camping, hiking, bird watching and fishing. One of his passions was fixing things, be it a broken lawn mower, motorcycle, or sailboat. In his spare time, he enjoyed "tinkering" and inventing new ways to solve basic technical problems. His children fondly remember times when he took them to the hardware store to look at gadgets, went on nature walks to identify mushrooms and snakes, or had them visit his laboratory to learn about microbes and chemistry.
Within the community, Jim took the time to preside as President of Toastmasters, provide counseling for Parents without Partners, serve on the Board of Fresh Water Ministries, and act as a prayer minister for Chapel Hill Bible Church.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Lewis and Marianna Crawford; and sister, Marie Crawford Johnson. He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Ann Roach Crawford, Ph.D of Chapel Hill; his brother, "Bud" Frederick Crawford of Springfield, Ill.; his six grown children, Margaret Mason Clemen, James "Jim" Allen Crawford, Catherine "Katie" Crawford Redick, Peter James Crawford, Carol Crawford Brandford and Anna Claire Crawford from his first marriage to Joyce Clark Allen, a resident of Carrboro; and his eight grandchildren, Michael Ross Whittaker, Claire Mae Whittaker, Emily "Caitlin" Crawford, Rachel McKenzie Crawford, Rebecca Makai Crawford, Margaret "Maggie" Anne Redick, Emmeline "Emme" Joyce Redick, and Ella Nan Brandford. He is also survived by his long-time companion, Paji, a Senegal parrot who continues to call out his name, "Jim."
A celebration of Jim's life will begin at 3:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18 at Damascus Congregational Christian Church on 522 Damascus Church Road, Chapel Hill. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
