In a not-too-surprising announcement on Thursday, we Tar Heels learned that our first-ever lady governor is not seeking a second term.
That’s not a shock, although it’s interesting when a career politician realizes the public has had enough before the votes are cast.
With the local political scene so quiet, I bet I wasn’t the only one watching the State of the Union address and rebuttal this week — and, for once, it was interesting.
At first, I had to look twice to see who was making the address until I realized that it was the Barrack Obama many Democrats thought they were electing three years ago and not the one who has been sitting in the Oval Office.
GOOD MORNING: I suspect that many of you are like me in that what you see in the way of outdoor temperatures on TV in the mornings and what you actually encounter when you step outside the house amount to a horse of a different color, particularly if you live in the central or northern portions of the county as I do.
RALEIGH – When North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue rocked the political establishment January 26 by announcing her plans not to run for reelection, she made history. Since the state constitution was changed to allow Jim Hunt to seek a second term in 1980, each North Carolina governor has served eight years at a time.
Members of the African-American Culture Club were key in helping organize the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration held in Louisburg on Jan. 16.

LOUISBURG -- Louisburg had an opportunity to create some distance Tuesday night in the competitive Northern Carolina Conference boys basketball standings.
Instead, the surging Franklinton Red Rams jumbled things even more.
Franklinton, which has been playing its best basketball of the year over the past two weeks, roared to a 56-37 victory over Louisburg in a key NCC matchup at the LHS Gymnasium.
BUNN -- Bunn continues to find different ways to pick up victories in the competitive Northern Carolina Conference.

LOUISBURG -- For the better part of three periods, the Franklinton Lady Rams displayed all the tendencies that will make them a tough opponent come the Class 2-A Girls Basketball State Playoffs.
Franklinton, coached by Lester Wilder, was playing tight, full-court defense while controlling the boards and draining some key jumpers during Tuesday’s key Northern Carolina Conference road game at backyard rival Louisburg.
Shock waves were sent through Franklin County in 2000, when the idea was first floated about splitting up the county’s three high schools -- Franklinton, Louisburg and Bunn -- in classification.
School and county administrators fought hard against the switch, but Louisburg and Franklinton eventually remained in Class 1-A -- and Bunn moved up to Class 2-A -- during the updated North Carolina High School Athletic Association realignment one year later.

LOUISBURG -- Just like the mail service, adverse weather won’t stop the Louisburg College baseball squad anymore.
That’s because LC, under first-year head coach Mike McGuire, has built a state-of-the-art batting practice facility adjacent to the clubhouse along the first-base line at Frazier Field.
RALEIGH -- After an up-and-down start to begin the second half of the season, Louisburg College men’s basketball coach Mark Vanderslice hopes his squad found its groove over the past two contests.
Each of those outings were key Region X tests -- and the Hurricanes passed both in impressive fashion.
