ROCKY MOUNT -- Rocky Mount Coleman-Pitt Post 58’s baseball team started its final week of regular season action Sunday with a doubleheader win at new Area I East North Conference member Albemarle Post 84 in Elizabeth City.
Due to severe heat at Northeastern High School’s field, the doubleheader contests were reduced to five innings each.
Nash Central High School rising seniors Caley Bass (third from left on top row) and Lindsey Sharpe (fourth from left on top row) were members of the Region 3 Team that won the Gold Medal at the recent 2012 Powerade North Carolina State Games High School Softball Event at Forsyth Country Day School in Winston-Salem.

There seems to have been a lot of Kevin Costner on TV lately. And that’s okay by me.
I’ve watched very little television programming in the last 18 months while I’ve been in school. As it turns out, I survived nicely. However, I am still a sucker for movies, and always have been. I guess it goes back to my childhood, when movies were a treat, and I loved a good story, whether it came from a book or the big screen.

Today I’m saying goodbye as your Chief of Police. After serving the Town of Nashville and the community for 32 years, I’ve decided to retire. I’ve enjoyed my tenure as a police officer and as the Chief of Police, but now it’s time for my wife and family to have their time with me. I have to thank and give most of the credit to my wife, Brenda, who has been my encouragement and my shoulder to lean on as I made a career of law enforcement.
