He subsequently voted in favor of a motion introduced by Wood to actually supply the city funding. AP — Democratic U. Senate candidate Erica Smith has switched over to a run for a northeastern North Carolina congressional seat after veteran Rep. Smith, a former state senator, finished second in the Democratic U. Senate primary in to Cal Cunningham.
She entered the Democratic field early but has been outraised handily by the campaigns of former Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley and current state Sen. Jeff Jackson. Smith has portrayed herself as the most progressive candidate in the primary. News by Butterfield on Thursday that he would not run in would give Smith a potential landing spot in a district that includes her Northampton County home. Official candidate filing begins Dec. Butterfield, a former leader of the Congressional Black Caucus, has usually won by comfortable margins in his rural district, which has often contained majority-Black counties.
But the latest redrawn U. House map in North Carolina places him in a toss-up seat, making it challenging for any Democrat to win. State Sen. Republican Sandy Smith of Pitt County, who lost to Butterfield in the general election by 8 percentage points, is already seeking the GOP nomination in the district. The enacted 2nd District covers all or parts of 18 counties, stretching from Washington County in the east, stretching inland to as far as Caswell County.
Leslie McCrae Dowless Jr. District Judge Terrence Boyle granted the extension. Dowless, who is in his mids, had a stroke in August and learned earlier this month that he may have lung cancer, according to a federal court filing earlier this week. He needs time for follow-up medical appointments to determine his course of care, his lawyer wrote.
Boyle sentenced Dowless in early September after he pleaded guilty in June to obtaining illegal Social Security benefits while concealing payments for political work he performed. The counts were tangentially related to a broader state probe into unlawful absentee ballot activities for the general election and the primary and general elections — activities in which authorities have identified Dowless as a primary figure. Dowless is charged with 13 state counts in that case, including obstruction of justice, possessing absentee ballots and perjury.
A State Board of Elections inquiry into the 9th Congressional District election in , when Dowless worked for then-Republican candidate Mark Harris, led the board to throw out the results and order a new election. During an appearance in Wake County Superior Court on Monday, Dowless rejected a plea agreement offered by District Attorney Lorrin Freeman that would have required him to serve one year in prison, half of which would run simultaneously with his federal term.
A judge set a trial date for next August. Freeman said in court that the plea offer would remain available until Nov. Freeman said in a phone interview late Friday that the deadline would remain in place. The long-awaited passage of a state budget in Raleigh is being hailed close to home, since it includes funding for projects in Mount Airy and at the local airport.
Earlier Thursday, Gov. Roy Cooper had signed what was considered an overdue spending package, the first comprehensive state budget in three years. It was supposed to be in place by July 1. Despite the delay, local officials seem pleased with the final results, based on appreciative comments by Mayor Niland and Commissioner Steve Yokeley during the Mount Airy Board of Commissioners meeting.
But for now river restoration is the focus, Lewis added. There are no plans to further expand the greenway beyond a project now at hand to extend the asphalt pathway 1. The completion of a full parallel taxiway is a safety improvement. A parallel taxiway typically is a path for aircraft which connects a runway with aprons, hangars, terminals and other facilities. This allows planes to vacate the runway quicker, permitting others to land or take off in shorter time frames. As for the new terminal building, Crater has not received any formal documentation from the N.
Division of Aviation on the timeline for that project, but expects it to also be in process during Mayor Niland said the airport measures are important economically to the community at large, whether citizens realize that or not. The award was created 60 years ago to recognize significant contributions to the state and the country in several fields.
Each of the recipients live or work in North Carolina, or have so previously. The recipients are National Institutes of Health director Dr. Purvis also was wanted on felony drug charges filed by Yadkin County authorities on Sept. The Wednesday traffic stop led to him being further accused of possession of a Schedule II controlled substance, a felony, and possessing drug paraphernalia. That location was unclear in police records. Cagle is facing a Dec.
Lebanon St. Meanwhile, the Thursday and Friday industrial roll-off routes will be collected early, on Wednesday. The cash dividend is payable on Jan. Their son, Bentley, came into the world, a bouncing baby boy. At least that is what they thought. While there, little Bentley experienced seizures, and the hospital staff discovered he had suffered a pediatric stroke during birth. Doctors then prepared the couple for what they said lay ahead of them — a lifetime of caring for Bentley, whose brain damage was so extensive he would never be able to care for himself.
Funny thing was, no one explained that to Bentley. Over the coming days he acted largely as a child who had suffered no stroke — eating well, acting alert, moving and developing as a baby is expected to in his first days of life.
Eventually, they were able to take Bentley home, though he remained under regular care with in-home therapy sessions and doctor-office visits for 18 months, when his medical team decided it was time to stop the treatments.
There are no movement issues, no vision issues, nothing but a normal toddler who picks and chooses what he wants to hear. We just had to let go and let God. It was the third such event — it would have been the fourth, but the version was cancelled because of COVID restrictions. This year, however, Myra said they decided to change the focus, raising money for Zoe Hall, a local 2-year-old diagnosed at birth with the rare kidney disease, congenital nephrotic syndrome. She is a fighter, an overcomer, and a miracle.
She said there were 60 craft vendors on hand, along with sponsor tables, five food trucks, along with The Flying Hatchet, an ax-throwing troupe from Greensboro. That was phenomenal. While Zoe and her family were not available to talk — they were preparing for a possible discharge this week — Edwards said all was well as of Wednesday.
Her parents are extremely thankful for the love and support that is continuously shown by our community, and they thank you all. The Altec Industries logo is splashed on the side of work trucks all around the area, whether they be the TruGreen spray trucks or the familiar Asplundh crews cutting limbs off power lines. A big contributor to the local tax base and a major employer in the area, Altec has been family owned in Birmingham, Alabama since The Alabama Truck Equipment Company Altec has been manufacturing and finishing facilities across the country as they assemble and customize the working fleets that companies depend on.
The Altec facility in Mount Airy is a multi-unit operation with several divisions of Altec located under one roof. General Manager of Mount Airy Operations Ben Simmons said that with seven profit centers on one campus, space can be tight. He made his comments during a recent tour of local facilities by the Surry County Board of Commissioners.
Inside the cavernous facility headphones and safety goggles adorned the commissioners as they were guided through the building. In orderly work bays were vehicle chassis waiting for components with workers attending to each.
In Mount Airy, Altec is making spray trucks and cable hauling trucks, but they also are finishing items manufactured in other locations. Having distribution centers and manufacturing spread across the country helps them stay nimble and responsive. One of the two North Carolina Altec service centers is also located here.
Offering service after the sale on repairs, and even further upfitting or customization can be done right here. Weaving around racks four to five high of parts and Honeywell boxes, the tour lingered as a dozen adults got belly up to the window of a giant paint machine so they could watch paint dry. It would seem the wonderment with big toys does not go away with age. To that end, the description of a new powerful laser raised an eyebrow or two. Innovation is key to an industry leader, so Altec acquiring and deploying a new 10kW laser that cuts steel at five times the current speed is something worth noting.
Innovation also means culling the herd and therefore some product lines made locally will be phased out over time. As the business needs dictate, their focus will shift to where the market drives business. The future for Altec remains bright though as Griffin pointed out their growth in overhead cabling trucks and buried cable as well. With so many power lines overhead, this will take a long time. As busy as they are, every inch of space in the facility is in use. Griffin has plans to move some of his parts and distribution to another part of the campus to allow for more manufacturing space.
Having the workspace they need will be critical to growth for Altec, but having the right people on staff is also critical. County Commissioner Van Tucker was curious as to what sort of relationship they have had with Surry Community College. Running two daily shifts at their facility, Altec is trying to make theirs a worker friendly environment. Learning the culture means appreciating the past, which suggests to the customer that attention to quality is of concern.
The good people of Pre-Delivery Inspection take the spray truck, the cable hauler, the chippers out for a shakedown cruise before delivering to the end user.
No surprises will be awaiting the recipient of a new backyard digger derrick from Altec. When Altec trucks roll off the line, they are ready to work, the company said. It begins on Dec. That will set the stage for a possible primary in March leading to the general election in November Next year has extra significance in Mount Airy from a political standpoint. Municipal balloting in will be the first held in an even-numbered year after state legislative action approving a locally initiated request to shift city elections from odd-numbered ones.
That move added an extra 12 months to the terms of office holders elected to four-year terms in , who otherwise would have faced voters in At stake in the upcoming municipal election are the seats now held by Mayor Ron Niland and three members of the Mount Airy Board of Commissioners.
Zalescik recently was appointed to fill an unexpired term for that position, last subject to an election in State law prescribes that a person appointed to a board vacancy will serve until the next municipal election, in this case , when he or she can seek a full four-year term.
As its name suggests, the at-large commissioner seat is open to residents from all parts of the city, which also is the case with the mayoral post. Teresa Lewis, a former at-large commissioner, is openly campaigning for mayor, including the placement of campaign signs all around town. Commissioner Cawley said in June that he would run for mayor in , and Niland is expected to, also. At last check, Commissioner Yokeley had not decided if he will seek re-election in the South Ward, where candidates also are limited by its boundaries.
The number of other office-seekers could grow significantly in the coming weeks, based on checks with local political insiders. If three or more candidates file for a particular seat in the non-partisan city election, a primary is required in which the two top vote-getters will square off in the general election next November. The primary, if needed, is scheduled for March 8, a staff member in the elections office said Thursday. Along with council hopefuls, candidates for three seats on the Mount Airy Board of Education will file in December, including Districts A and B and an at-large position.
The Dec filing period also affects county government offices including that of Surry Sheriff Steve Hiatt, who is now in his first term. The District 3 school board race involves filling the unexpired term for a vacancy recently created by the resignation of Early Coe. State offices involved include the local delegation of the N.
Before Nov. Sarah Stevens and the 91st District of Rep. Kyle Hall from Stokes County. That was changed to District 90 alone, which includes all of Surry County and part of Wilkes, according to the Surry Board of Elections.
Senate-wise the county previously was included in districts 30 and 45, served by Phil Berger and Deanna Ballard, respectively, but that has been changed to District 36 alone covering Surry, Yadkin, Wilkes and Alexander counties. While other candidates will file in Dobson, the district attorney and judge hopefuls are required to do so at the state elections headquarters in Raleigh.
It is listed as Dell Latitude computer hardware and software products. In addition to the mall business, Millennium Charter Academy is listed as a victim in the case that was still under investigation at last report. A coin-operated machine was forcibly entered and an undisclosed sum of money stolen from within. The crime targeted a vacuum machine and also involved the loss of a propane cylinder and car-cleaning wipes.
This involves monetary donations made by members of the Ararat Ruritan Club during a meeting earlier this month in the clubhouse at Ararat Highway. Representatives of those organizations were special guests of the recent meeting that featured a covered-dish supper in addition to the presentation of checks. The Ruritans hold fundraising activities during the year which allow them to support such community causes.
In all the fast-paced excitement of Christmas, one segment of society — senior citizens — sometimes gets lost in the shuffle, but an annual gift program has been launched in Mount Airy to help fill that void. The national Be a Santa to a Senior campaign targets older adults who might live isolated existences and otherwise would receive no gifts at all.
At the same time it provides basic necessities that some might have trouble affording in inflationary times. It is regularly spearheaded locally by Home Instead Senior Care, which provides in-home services to that population. Home Instead works with non-profit and community organizations to identify older residents in this area who can benefit from the gift program now in its 10th year in Mount Airy. It will run through Dec.
Individuals simply visit the holiday trees at the locations listed, choose an ornament, buy the requested gift and return it wrapped or unwrapped to the store with the ornament attached.
