Some sandwiches are just lunch, and then there’s the fried bologna sandwich at Priddy’s General Store in Danbury, North Carolina, which is something closer to a religious experience. If you’ve never made the drive out to Stokes County for a sandwich, you might be wondering if it’s worth...

This North Carolina Town Was Just Named The Most Boring In The State, And Residents Might Have Something To Say

“Most boring town” sounds pretty harsh once I start looking at what is actually around here. There is a lake nearby, quiet walking trails, and enough open countryside to make the whole place feel more peaceful than dull. That distinction matters to me. This small North Carolina community grew...

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.

East Bend issues scathing press release regarding water dispute with county

The town of East Bend has issued a press release regarding its ongoing legal dispute with Yadkin County over the water rates. The release is a no holds barred account, from the town’s perspective, of the dispute which became a legal matter in 2024. At issue is the rate which the county charges the town for water, which is provided through a waterline completed by the County in 2018 that connects East Bend to a water treatment facility in Forsyth County. The two parties met in a Yadkin County courtroom in September for a status review hearing with Judge Michael Duncan presiding, but no resolution was reached at that time and the matter is set to go to trial in early 2027. As part of the court proceedings in September, attorneys for both the town of East Bend and Yadkin County gave opening statements describing the events that lead to the legal dispute. Andy Fitzgerald, an attorney representing East Bend, began by describing the history of the situation where the wells supplying water for East Bend were no longer usable and the town reached out to the county for assistance. Fitzgerald said the county “answered the call” and for that

School board recount decision to take time

DOBSON — While Tuesday’s general election is history, there’s still a bit of unfinished business surrounding a Mount Airy Board of Education race with a 19-vote difference between two candidates. Republican Kyle Leonard was the apparent victor for the at-large school board seat now held by longtime member Tim Matthews, a Democrat, with a vote margin of 1,763 to 1,744. Recounts are a usual step when such a razor-thin result occurs, but that won’t be triggered until certain determinations are made, a local election official said. “The current vote totals show less than a 1% difference between the two candidates,” according to Surry County Elections Director Sydney Bedsaul Romine. “Technically, we’ll need to wait until after all remaining ballots are processed before we can determine whether this contest falls within that threshold,” Romine explained. One factor involves provisional ballots in the mix. A citizen is allowed to cast a provisional ballot during an election whenever questions arise about his or her eligibility to vote, which can include not presenting a photo ID upon arriving at a polling site. Those persons can still vote that day, subject to their eligibility being verified. Provisional ballots basically are put on hold until election
