Spring Hope PD under patrol microscope (relevance: 66.7%, date: Oct 14, 2026)
SPRING HOPE - Less than one month after one of its officers received the prestigious Carnegie Medal for risking his life to save another's, the Spring Hope Police Department took some not-so-friendly fire at the last town council meeting from one town commissioner, who questioned patrols on Highway 64. The commissioner also claimed that officers were sleeping in patrol cars.
Antonio "Danny" Toney, commissioner, seemingly came out of left field with his questions after Jonathan Allen, town manager, presented the September report of police activities, including 490 calls for service and 400 traffic stops.

If brains shrinking don't get us, AI just might (relevance: 33.3%, date: Oct 14, 2026)
Boy did Mike Brantley ever hit the nail on the head last week in his Soap Box column regarding political junk mail.
In short, my theory is if you truly want to get your message out to voters who want to be informed, run your ads in a local newspaper. People who read newspapers are voters who truly want to know about the candidates on their ballot.
As for Mike's description of the designs of the mailers, I'm glad my husband now takes care of grabbing the mail before I ever see any of these pitiful AI generated illustrations. Seeing the same thing pop up in your search engines or other web surfing is bad enough.

Are we all getting replaced by AI, or is it just me? (relevance: 33.3%, date: Oct 14, 2026)
I try to be aware of what's happening in the world and around me. Recently, there have been a lot of stories about how artificial intelligence (AI) is going to solve all the world's problems, make life perfect, and take all of our jobs.
It seems like we've heard that song before over the years. We were also supposed to have flying cars and jetpacks and world peace by now.
All this AI stuff got me concerned and I thought I better reach out to esteemed longtime Graphic publisher JoAnne Cooper. We've only worked together since the early 1990s, so we're still figuring out how things work between us.

ROCKY MOUNT - Three "cells" designed to handle stormwater runoff at Northern Nash High school are nearing cleanup completion, thanks to volunteer muscle from students, volunteers from Cummins Rocky Mount Engine Plant, Keep America Beautiful and the Sound Rivers environmental group.
Melinda Romero, biology teacher and science deptartment head at NNHS, said that two student groups at the school- the Environmental Club, which has 63 members, and an almost equally large Garden Club- would be taking over maintenance of the rain gardens, which are planted in low-lying areas of the school to help absorb stormwater runoff.
