To commemorate her turning 100 in October, family and friends took time out in the busyness of life to mark the occasion with a reception at her home church – Community Baptist – on October 4 that included well-wishes from both national and local notables.

NC's e-bike law changes Dec. 1. How western Wake towns are responding

Apex is moving toward new e-bike rules that could expand helmet requirements for younger riders and clarify where electric bicycles can travel. The proposed changes come as a new North Carolina law takes effect Dec. 1, changing which e-bikes are permitted on roads and greenways. The new law also will require helmets for Class 3 e-bike riders and passengers under 18. Towns can also require helmets for riders and passengers under 18 on Class 1 and 2 e-bikes, but the new law does not mandate those additional requirements statewide. A separate, existing state law already requires bicycle helmets for anyone under 16. Apex’s Public Safety Committee on Thursday, Nov. 5, backed limited amendments to existing bicycle regulations, rather than a comprehensive e-bike ordinance. “Making huge regulatory changes at this stage may be the wrong thing. We may be over-regulating,” council member Ed Gray told The News & Observer after the meeting. But Gray also supports a uniform helmet requirement for younger riders, saying it would be easier to understand and enforce. The Town Council must approve any amendments, which it could do as soon as Dec. 17. The new rules Under the new state law, Class 1 bikes provide motor

Sanford Republican who sued over campaign mailers loses to unaffiliated candidate

A Republican candidate for the state House lost to an unaffiliated opponent after all voting precincts in District 51 had reported unofficial results Tuesday. Sanford Republican Charles Taylor recently filed a defamation lawsuit over campaign mailers that claimed he owns and operates an illegal gambling business. Taylor narrowly lost to April Montgomery, an unaffiliated candidate. District 51 includes all of Lee County and part of Moore County. Montgomery campaigned on investing in public education and supporting small businesses. Taylor, who serves as a Sanford City Council member, was trying to replace Rep. John Sauls, who did not seek reelection. Sauls has served seven terms over two tenures. The Sandhills Citizens Alliance, a political action committee, created and distributed a mailer accusing Taylor of owning and operating a gambling business and “breaking the law himself,” The News & Observer previously reported. The Assembly and local Sanford newspaper The Rant reported that Taylor owned a property with a gambling operation and did not disclose the information on state forms. Taylor has refuted the claims. He said he owns the property and doesn’t run the business, and “if there’s ever an issue with the tenant, I’ll deal with it based on the facts
