Weekend, nightly closures planned for U.S. 601 in Yadkinville

An N.C. Department of Transportation contractor will close a short stretch of U.S. 601 at U.S. 421 this weekend and overnight next week to finish constructing roundabouts at the off-ramps. Beginning at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, U.S. 601 (State Street) will close between the U.S. 421 ramps while crews finish installing curb, concrete islands and truck aprons within the roundabouts during a weekend-long operation, weather permitting. Crews will reopen U.S. 601 in both directions by 6 a.m. Monday. This weekend operation will be followed by overnight closures with drivers utilizing the same detour from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night through Friday morning. During the closures, drivers who wish to drive through the U.S. 601 corridor must follow a detour onto U.S. 421 to the next exit, turn around and return to U.S. 601. Drivers exiting U.S. 421 onto U.S. 601 must turn right onto U.S. 601 or follow the U.S. 421 detour. The $19.8 million contract with Blythe Construction includes two additional roundabouts on U.S. 601 at the Maple Street and Lee Avenue intersections. The roundabouts are designed to ease congestion and improve traffic flow throughout the corridor. The project also includes construction of a new median

Veterans Day in city to honor patriotism

One good thing about Veterans Day activities in Mount Airy next Wednesday is that unlike previous years, no rain or cold temperatures are in the forecast — with perfect conditions for honoring military members in store instead. “It’s for them,” said Mark Barr, who has been organizing Mount Airy’s annual Veterans Day program since 2013. It will be held Wednesday at Blackmon Amphitheatre near City Hall, with both veterans and the public urged to attend. The service is scheduled for 11 a.m., which commemorates the signing of the Armistice ending World War I in 1918 at that time on the 11th day of the 11th month. This will come after the Mount Airy Veterans Day Parade that will pull out at 9:30 a.m. from Veterans Memorial Park on West Lebanon Street en route to the downtown area. “It looks like it’s going to be a pretty good-sized parade this year,” Barr said of the procession that will feature entries by military organizations and Junior ROTC students from local high schools. Amphitheatre service The 11 a.m. program at Blackmon Amphitheatre will include Staff Sgt. Steven Munoz of the local recruitment unit of the U.S. Marine Corps as guest speaker. Veterans of

Support urged for local caregivers

Estimates show that about 43.5 million caregivers have provided unpaid services to an adult or child in the past year — with a proverbial law-of-averages situation existing locally. It’s one Mount Airy Mayor Jon Cawley described in no-uncertain terms during an October council meeting. “Chances are if you are not a family caregiver right now, you have been, you may be at some point or you know someone who is, or you will someday need a family caregiver yourself to help you live independently at home,” Cawley said. That session included the mayor reading a city proclamation highlighting November as National Family Caregivers Month. “This is a real thing in our world,” said the mayor, whose own family has been touched by it involving care for his elderly mother-in-law who resides outside the county. North Carolina has 2.1 million family caregivers who are helping older parents, spouses and other loved ones live independently in their homes and communities — where they want to be, according to the city proclamation. Applying a state average to that involvement shows that 14,000-plus Surry County residents are looking after older parents, children with medical needs or spouses. Age-friendly city Recognition of caregivers has special

Foxx may lose 5th District seat, city school board race tight

If a Democratic wave was the major story of election night, another tale was close behind — that of races so tight they still can’t be called nearly 24 hours later. Those tight races include at least two local ones — a Mount Airy City Board of Education seat and the 5th District House of Representatives seat held by Virginia Foxx for more than two decades. In the city school board at-large seat, Republican Kyle Leonard stood at 1,763 after all votes were tallied Tuesday night, just 19 ahead of Democrat Tim Matthews. Because the margin is less than one percent, the race could be headed for a recount between what was essentially a race between two incumbents — both were already on the school board, but Leonard had moved from the district he lived in when first on the board, thus he was seeking the at-large seat already held by Matthews. In the congressional race, in what many would consider a stunning upset, Foxx was on the verge of losing her long-time seat to Wilkesboro Democrat Chuck Hubbard. As of late Wednesday afternoon, Hubbard stood at 139,034 votes, while Foxx’s tally stood at 138,935, with Independent candidate Robert Luffman

Democratic NC candidate previously dropped by party narrowly leads incumbent

A Democratic candidate who lost her party’s support over controversial social media posts held a narrow lead over the Republican incumbent for a seat in North Carolina’s House of Representatives. Shelly Headen, who previously shared social media posts advocating an attack on the United States and saying Trump supporters belong in concentration camps, held a slight advantage over incumbent John Blust to represent District 62 in Guilford County after all 24 precincts had reported. The difference between the two candidates is narrow enough for a recount. Blust has served one term as a state senator and another 10 as a state representative. He campaigned on lowering property taxes and energy costs and increasing employment. Headen manages a retail garage door business alongside her husband. She advocated for investing in public schools and expanding affordable housing and healthcare. Headen was the target of many attack mailers that depicted her as a supervillain, a talking doll and a criminal using artificial intelligence. She previously called the mailers “violating” and said that she was a “victim of fake, generated AI.” Blust previously told The News & Observer that Headen was a candidate that the Democratic Party recruited but didn’t vet, and that some
