$2 million jail upgrade eyed
LOUISBURG — The Franklin County Board of Commissioners moved another step toward renovating the county’s jail.
On Monday night, the board agreed to let the building’s architect, Surapon Sujjavanich, bid the project out to contractors.
The decision has yet to obligate the county to spend any money on construction.

NATURAL FIREWORKS
NATURAL FIREWORKS
Man-made fireworks have been lighting up nighttime skies in recent days but Mother Nature has a few tricks, too. Late Tuesday afternoon a single clap of thunder rocked Louisburg, even rattling windows in the fire station, and resulted from lightning striking this century-old red oak tree on East River Road. In this photo, Louisburg Utility Director Ray Patterson stands beside the shattered tree which literally exploded from the energy released by the strike. Bark was thrown for several yards -- and even the soil around the base of the tree was disturbed.

County studies more incentives
LOUISBURG — Commissioners and economic developers are examining the prospect of luring one new business to the area and enticing another to stay and expand.

Mail ‘centerfolds’ and rowdy roosters! What a week!
Mail ‘centerfolds’ and rowdy roosters! What a week!
Well, that explains a lot doesn’t it?
For those of us who have long wondered why it takes so long to get a first-class letter delivered, the answer came clearer recently.
Seems the venerable old Postal Service has been photographing each and every item we mail — and then storing those images so that the government can get a peek if they so desire.

Why can’t officials just say, do the right thing?
Government by ambush.
You’ve read all about it here in many, many past editorials and, despite all the pledges of open government and new transparency, once again our lawmakers in Raleigh are resorting to this despicable practice.
Government by ambush — which has often been used in Franklin County government — is the practice of bringing up a topic and voting on it quickly without prior notice to the public and without giving the public a chance to comment.

Political savvy starts early
It seems that Bobby Tufts has this campaigning thing down cold.
And he’s only four years old.

Your choice: Snake oil or a good job!
As I try to understand why there is such vitriol for the other person in our world, I always circle back to it is all about money and power: Those that want it, and are willing to do and say whatever it takes to get it.
The cost and value of invoking prejudice, bigotry, and hatred is incalculable.
There are some that would have you believe one group or race has a corner on this market.

Ironic ‘gift’ shows polarized split in county politics
America is currently polarized in its political viewpoints.
Franklin County is no exception.  That was illustrated by the votes our representatives in the North Carolina General Assembly took last February with regard to unemployment compensation and insurance rates.  
Republican Chad Barefoot represents the entire county in the North Carolina Senate.

Louisburg’s new Good Will store an improvement
Dear editor:
My quick visit to the new Good Will store was a very pleasant experience. I was looking for a material to recover a seat on a newly restored antique chair. The improvements to the exterior of the building are a welcome addition to the community shopping experience. It has improved the Bickett Boulevard commercial streetscape with thoughtful landscaping, material color changes and brick screening of the service entrance.

Identification incorrect
Dear editor:
This letter is to make a personal correction to the article printed in the June 27, 2013 edition of The Franklin Times entitled: “Franklinton summer camp provides hot options for kids.” The statement where you made reference to “Magistrate James Keith, right, hanging out at Privette’s Barber Shop...” was in error. I am James Keith; I have never been to Privette’s Barber Shop and I have never hung out at any barber’s shop.

Can hunting leases turn deer pests into an asset to farmers?
Deer continue to damage many farm crops each year, especially soybeans.
If your farm income is being lost because of deer damage and if you are interested in receiving additional income, you might want to learn more about a new statewide program that generates funds from hunting leases.  
There is a strong demand for farm locations that will allow “still hunting” of deer, turkey, dove, and more; that is, without the use of dogs.
