Interview with Mike Colter

DeFUNIAK SPRINGS — A 23-year-old North Dakota man was killed and three men from Florida were critically injured Tuesday when their car blew a tire on Interstate 10.

Maybe it’s not like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa, but it’s pretty close, say some on Federal Hill, who are indignant that the famous fountain in DePasquale Square is flowing with more flowers this week than rivulets.

The plantings of ferns and other flora Tuesday — hours before the annual Federal Hill Stroll of area restaurants — was an apparent attempt by the city to put the best face on a scum-filled and partially inoperable icon.

City officials didn’t immediately return phone calls Wednesday morning. But according to Federal Hill neighbors like Xiony Bernard, the general manager of the Hotel Dolce Villa, in the square, the city never drained or cleaned the fountain last October as it usually does.

The trial of Khakim Malik Harvey and Kyle Lavar McNeil continues in Alamance County Superior Court. They're charged with first-degree murder in the Memorial Day 2016 death of Tony Antwane Daye Jr.
