Monroe police bring murder suspect back to city

MONROE NC JULY 24 2009

By: Brett Davis/staff

Monroe police traveled to Columbia South Carolina on Thursday with an arrest warrant in hand for James C Boshers, 43 charging him with first degree murder.

On Sunday, Boshers allegedly killed his girlfriend of two weeks in a house in Monroe and then fled the state driving the victim’s vehicle.

After running out of gas and becoming distraught, police transported Boshers to a local hospital where he confessed to the murder to a doctor.

Monroe police investigators say that Boshers killed Sandra Wengert, 47 at 4106 Rocky River Rd.

Boshers is now awaiting trial and is being held without bond in the Union County jail.

How to turn an $8 an hour job into a well paying career

UNION COUNTY NC JULY 24 2009

By: Rick McCann

Long before our economy went sour and jobs were harder to find then diamonds in your backyard, people have had to work $7 and $8 an hour jobs to survive. Some are even working for less than that at or near the minimum wage.

There are all kinds of reasons why people have found themselves in these jobs and many reasons why they have stayed there without out investing in the time and energy that it takes to secure a better position with a higher wage and benefits.

Recently divorced, loss of spouse, teens just entering the work force, those laid-off from higher paying positions and others that have few or no skills or education mainly make up this tier of the workforce.

While many would look at these positions as the lowest point in their life, others have chosen to view the work as a paid training course and have taken advantage of every hour spent “in-class” while being paid to learn a business from the most entry level of positions.

Myricka Johnson, a Houston mother of three, found herself working at a McDonald’s to support her children and keep a roof over their heads after her husband left her for another woman. She was stranded with only a few dollars and no relatives in the area to help her and was forced to apply for the job the next day. She reasoned that it would just be for a few weeks while she sought other employment and that she might even get to take some left over food from the restaurant home to her children until she could financially get on her feet.

Working forty hours and taking care of three children didn’t leave much time for Myricka to head out to other job interviews so she began to concentrate on the job that she had working on the assembly line putting together hamburgers and Big Mac, filet sandwiches and doing whatever the manager asked of her.

She soon worked her way up to a team manager, went to the library and read books from Raymond Kroc, CEO of McDonald and Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy’s and restaurant management and went from making a few hundred dollars a week to making more than enough to support her children and have money left in her bank account.

Jerry Wilson started at the Home Depot while still in high school. It was just a way for him to make enough cash to be able to take girls out on dates on the week-end, pay for his car insurance which was an agreement that he had made with his parents when he was hired and still have money left over to feed the snack machine at school.

But as Jerry was working at the store, he realized that he liked working with people and with home supplies. He too applied himself to the low paying hourly job and learned the various departments within the store. First the paint department, learning what colors to mix to create the perfect color scheme for customers. Then he moved to the appliance and the lumber areas of the store and trained on the front end as a cashier.

By the time Jerry graduated from school, he was settled in to the position and looking at Home Depot as a career. Though his parents wanted him to go a university, he opted for community college and began working full time for the store.

Wilson’s attitude, hard work, and drive soon put him in the position to be trained as an assistant manager.

Anyone in any position could look at their job as paid training for a higher, better paying career in the industry where they are working. With the right attitude and willingness to learn, you could inhale everything that there is to know about the company, what they do and how, what makes them tick, how they like to do business, customer service and even what vendors they use. This information is certainly going to invaluable to any employer who honestly promotes from within.

Large numbers of security guards have worked their way up from minimum wage to substantial salaries by learning the security business, taking any and all free training, certifications or other on-the-job training and moving up the rank from guard to shift supervisor or site manager, patrol supervisor, training officer, operations or branch managers and beyond. The same is true for many in the loss prevention field. Though they may start out as a LP agent, those who stay focused, learn the ropes of the business, and soak up all that they can about retail security, soon progress within the company and find themselves advancing to loss prevention managers, district or regional level management or are quickly scooped up by the competition and paid attractive salaries and benefits.

For those who may not have a college degree and think that they’ll never obtain such levels, Myricka and Jerry are just two examples of what on the job training, dedication and commitment, and loyalty to your employer and your job regardless of what it pays currently can do for you.

Giving any business your complete effort and staying in the right frame of mind can educate and train you far more than sitting in a classroom for years wishing that you were somewhere else.

As with anything in life, it’s all what you make of it and your current employment just might be the vehicle for true success, happiness, and even wealth.

D.A. will seek death penalty for Taylor

MONROE NC JULY 24 2009

By: Brett Davis/staff

The Union County District Attorney’s Office has said that they will seek the death penalty for Benjamin Mac Taylor if he is tried for the murder of his grandfather.

The charges stem from the shooting death of Taylor’s grandfather, 74 year old Douglas Eugene Taylor, on April 25^th. According to sheriff department reports, someone fired into the home of the grandparents on Faith Church Road in Indian Trail. Sheriff investigators say that someone was Benjamin Taylor.

Investigators linked the shooting to the grandson soon after the shooting and he was arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder in the shooting of his grandfather and grandmother. Shirley Taylor was wounded in the arm. Taylor also faces additional charges of discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling, felony breaking and entering, and larceny after breaking and entering.

Shirley Taylor spoke during the preliminary hearing on Thursday, saying she’s raised her grandson since he was 4 years old.

“In my heart, I know that he did not pull that trigger,” she said.

Taylor’s father also disputes investigators claims that his son is guilty saying he knows he wasn’t there and didn’t do it but did not elaborate.

The minimum sentence for first-degree murder in North Carolina is life in prison without parole. The state may offer plea arrangements, modifying charges to lesser offenses so that defendants avoid trial and might serve lesser sentences.

District attorneys decide whether to pursue the death penalty based on North Carolina Statute 15A. “We look at the evidence based on what the statute requires,” District Attorney John Snyder said.
If a district attorney chooses to seek the death penalty, a 12-person jury must consider both aggravating and mitigating factors and unanimously decide whether the defendant is guilty of first-degree murder. If so, they must then decide whether to sentence him or her to death. A jury could also find a defendant guilty of lesser charges.

Girl raises money for Papa’s cancer

INDIAN TRAIL NC JULY 24 2009

Source: Charlotte Observer

 Caelyn Murphy’s “Papa,” her grandfather Dave Haney, was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer two years ago when Caelyn was 5.

 It scared a girl so young — the C-word scares anyone at any age.

 But Caelyn didn’t hide behind her fear that Papa would die. She became his “spirit-lifter” as he underwent Chemo and radiation treatments. She sent him T shirts of big hand-drawn hearts with this message: “I love you, Papa.” Last year, she set up a lemonade stand outside her home in Indian Trial to raise money for cancer research.

 On Saturday, she’s hosting another stand, and Aug. 7, she and her family and friends from Indian Trail will be in Papa’s hometown of Davenport Center in upstate New York to walk in that area’s Relay For Life, the nationwide fundraiser to fight cancer.

 ”There’s a lot of reasons I do this,” Caelyn, 7, said. “He’s part of my family — and he loves me.”

 After treatments and surgery to remove his left lung, Haney’s doctors have proclaimed him in remission. Caelyn likes the R-word.

 ”It told her that her Papa may survive this,” said her mother, Heather Murphy, Haney’s daughter. “She’s kept everyone’s spirits up. She’s always talking about doing stuff for Papa.

 ”She constantly talks about killing cancer.”

Their family has a bad history of cancer victims. Papa’s father died of cancer, so did a son, Heather’s brother.

 So the fight is personal for the 2nd grader at Sardis Elementary in Union County.

 That is why Charlotte-born Caelyn, Heather, Caelyn’s grandmother Rececca Haney, and friends plan to walk from 6:30 p.m. Aug. 7 into the next day to 7 a.m.

 Papa, too, plans to walk as long as his energy holds out on one lung.

 ”His cancer scares me and makes me want to fight for him,” Caelyn said. “I want him to survive. So I fight.”

 So if you’re out around Indian Trail on Saturday (from 9 a.m. until whenever) turn into the Arbor Glen neighborhood off Unionville-Indian Trail Road and buy a cup of lemonade from Caelyn.

 You might let the girl know her Papa’s proud of her.

Police arrest key player in heroin ring

CHARLOTTE, N.C. JULY 24 2009 — Federal authorities said that they have arrested a key player in a Charlotte heroin ring is in jail.

Julio Cesar Tejeda made his first appearance in federal court Thursday morning. Police arrested him Wednesday during a traffic stop at the Park Road Shopping Center.

Investigators said Tejeda is a dispatcher, which is a person who helps bring black tar heroin in from Mexico and then gets it into the hands of dealers.

A complaint filed in district court shows investigators caught Tejeda on wiretaps talking about importing and distributing the drug. Drug enforcement agents said they tracked him all the way to Ohio one week ago.

Eyewitness News visited Tejeda’s last known address, which was on Kingfisher Driver near Pineville. The homeowner said Tejeda left the rental more than a month ago. He said he never suspected any drug dealing.

According to the federal complaint, Tejeda was arrested on charges of conspiring to distribute at least 1 kilogram of heroin.
