This is an important occasion each year because this publicizes the prediction for what kind of winter we’ll be having for the coming season.

The Mooresville Tribune recently ran articles on the upcoming election for Mooresville mayor and at-large commissioner positions.

Sit Down and Shut Up- Not!

Watching Frontline the other night on PBS helped me understand that given the problems in our economy, what we’re trying to do now is recover from too much “sit down and shut up!” The Frontline program was about the story of the head of a small federal agency who, back in the 90′s, saw serious problems [...]
