Pinecrest Student to Pursue West Point 'Dream'
Another career? There's nothing wrong with a military career and to get accepted to a top 5 school like West Point is great accomplishment. My son is trying to get into the Air Force Academy. Good job and good luck.

Obama Re-Elected; GOP Sweeps Raleigh
Wow, I'm not angry, I'm not old, I'm not male, and I'm not a right wing religious extremist...I guess I've been supporting the wrong party the last couple elections.
I extend my congratulations to President Obama. I did like what he said in his acceptance speech....(paraphrased) "Whether you voted for me or not, I did hear you." and Romney telling his supporters to support the president. That's what I'm sick of. The hate. It's gotten so ugly. It's not the Republican or the Democratic presidents that are tearing this country apart, it's the vile hatred and nastiness that their supporters spew. Please, please, we can't build up until we build together.

Patriots Blank Pirates 24-0 on Homecoming Night
Great job Patriots! How come people are so quick to criticize and complain about the team when they lose, but never give the boys any credit or praise when they win? Win or lose, they are always going to be my Patriots. Great job to the coaches and to the boys, let's keep this momentum going!

Patriot Jayvees Defeat Jack Britt in Five OTs
Just because it was a JV game does not make any difference to those kids on the field. The sense of pride and accomplishment that my son came home with cannot be denied just because it was a JV game. It has meaning to the players.

Overpass Impasse: Churches, Businesses Concerned About Bridge Project
Are there plan or pictures of what this will look like when it's done? My son goes to Pinecrest HS and that's my regular route to get him there, so, I guess he's going to have to get up a little earlier next year.

Marriage Amendment Passes by Wide Margin
For those of you that keep saying move to California, that state has the same amendment as the one we just passed. As a matter of fact, 29 other states do. Running away from the problem is not the solution. Fighting the good fight is.

Delays Expected on 211 Near Traffic Circle, Mortorists Ask to Avoid Area
Bad timing. With the Carolina Rebellion this Saturday in Rockingham, a lot of people are staying in Moore County. Might block up traffic all around.

Think Outside the Can: Beer Is Inside the Cake
I make a Guinness cake every year for my husband's St. Patrick's Day birthday. Beer cake is one of the best cakes I've ever tasted in my life.

My son was outside for PE and he said the coaches got them inside quickly. Appreciate them looking after the kids.

County Opposes U.S. 1 Bypass Through Horse Country
Is there a map of the proposed by-pass? I know of, and am opposed to, a by-pass through the Foundation and horse country, but, this is the first I've heard of Highland Trails being effected, and that effects me directly.
This bypass will destroy peoples homes in southern pines and aberdeen. look at highland trails, the people that live there are part of our community, lets support them!
