A British journalist and Davidson-based Solace for the Children came to the family’s aid. Najib’s brother was killed in the rocket attack. DAVIDSON – A Lake Norman area-based nonprofit has reached halfway across the world to help save the eye of an Afghan teen wounded Aug. 20 by shrapnel from a Taliban rocket. Fifteen-year-old Najib was riding a bicycle to a polling station on national election day in Afghanistan when the rocket exploded within meters of him and his brother. His brother died, and a 3-mm piece of metal lodged in Najib’s left eye, according to Patsy Wilson, project coordinator for Solace for the Children, the nonprofit that brings dozens of Afghan children to the Lake Norman area each summer for medical care. Najib’s father, a traveling shoe cobbler, tried unsuccessfully to obtain medical care for his son in Kabul. British journalist Jerome Starkey was at the scene of the explosion and arranged a NATO hospital to care for the boy. The hospital wasn’t equipped, however, to remove the shrapnel. “Jerome began sending e-mails asking for help from both England and America,” Wilson said. Solace received one and partnered with Piedmont Medical Center in Rock Hill, S.C., where Dr. Arman Farr removed the shrapnel two weeks ago. Najib is recovering in the Lake Norman area and will likely regain his sight. Solace’s work is gradually expanding to year-round activities. Two young girls are recovering from open-heart surgery at Solace’s first branch location in Jacksonville, Fla. A 9-year-old boy is living with a Mooresville host family and receiving life-saving blood transfusions, and another young woman awaits funding for heart surgery at Duke Medical Center, which is donating 90 percent of the cost. “There have been so many extra needs,” Wilson said. Tax-deductible donations to help can be made online at http://www.solaceforthechildren.org or mail to P.O. Box 65, Davidson, NC 28117.

The panel wants to eliminate duplicate landscaping, Medlin said. • Eliminate the requirement that small businesses in downtown must provide rear parking. Instead, the businesses could pay into a parking fund the town could use for parking decks or other parking areas. Businesses in other parts of town would be allowed to use gravel driveways and parking areas in the rear. • Allow the town’s transportation planner to determine if a business needs to pay for a Transportation Impact Study. In many cases, the town staff knows that small businesses will not generate enough new traffic to require street improvements, Medlin said. In the same way, the panel wants the town to define small businesses – that won’t generate a lot of traffic – and allow town staff to approve the business plans administratively. Oakhurst asks for more speed humps, traffic markings Another Cornelius community also is concerned about protecting children from traffic. The Oakhurst Homeowners Association has sent a report to the town asking for about nine additional speed bumps, almost 70 painted stop bars at intersections throughout the community and about nine painted crosswalks. Town Manager Anthony Roberts said residents are concerned that drivers cutting through the community between Bailey and Washam-Potts roads, as well as some Oakhurst residents, are ignoring speed limits on straight-aways. The town’s staff is evaluating the request and try to do as much as possible. Homeowners Association President John Carpenter said the community has been waiting four years to get more traffic markings and other traffic control devices on its streets as traffic has increased. Some drivers roll through – or don’t stop – at stop signs. Residents are particularly concerned about children crossing Bailey Road to a shopping center, Carpenter said. q www.huntersvilleherald.com
