On the world’s stage, it’s often said that we Americans are spoiled, self centered, greedy and selfish.
But come to small town America and you’ll quickly realize that stereotype is as wrong as wrong can be.
Never has that been more obvious than last Thursday night when the Chamber of Commerce named its citizen of the year and honored three other individuals for their special service to their community.
GOOD MORNING: I don’t know if it was the weather or what, but something sparked a notable increase in online responses by Times readers over the weekend.
For example: Here’s one by thecollective on 1/21/12 In reference to plans for a geriatric psychiatry unit at Franklin Regional Medical Center here in Louisburg, and I quote; “Thank God, now we will have a place to send our county commissioners for evaluation and treatment.”
Talk about your opposite ends of the spectrum.
This past Thursday, I was at a function that celebrated the best things that Franklin County has to offer as the Greater Franklin County Chamber of Commerce held its annual banquet, recognizing community volunteers and leaders who have done much to make this place better.
Will the access road being built from US 401 to the Triangle North Franklin hub site, make a significant impact on the growth of the industrial park?

“Leadership is not at all about personality, it’s about practice,” (Kouzes and Posner, 2008). The goal is to recognize that each and every one of us, despite our circumstances, has a leader within who can model the way, inspire a shared vision, challenge the process, enable others to act, and encourage the heart. In their bestselling book, “The Leadership Challenge,” the authors describe these as the five key practices of leaders.
Dear Editor:

Students from Franklin County who made the Fall 2011 Dean’s List at N.C. A&T State University in Greensboro are as follows:
Area narcotics agents arrested two men during a drug sting.
According to a report by Dep. Justin Hastings, a woman notified authorities the evening of Jan. 17 that someone sent a text message to her son trying to sale drugs.
In response, investigators told the woman to send back a message to set up the sale.
Getting the message of the Greater Franklin County Chamber of Commerce out to members and prospective members falls to its ambassador corps of volunteers.

When you look at a bag of fertilizer, you will see three numbers. This is called the fertilizer’s “analysis” and represents the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium that is available from the bag of fertilizer. (Technically, it represents the percentage of N, P2O2 and K2O that is available, but for our purposes, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium will do.)

FRANKLINTON -- One final order of business remained to cap off a perfect night of basketball at Franklinton High School.
And Tykwon Crudup was there to provide it.
Indeed, a perfect night deserved a perfect ending, and Crudup made an electrifying mad dash in the closing seconds to help the Franklinton boys earn a last-second (literally) victory last Friday against Roanoke Rapids in boys hoops action.

FRANKLINTON -- One of Franklinton’s most important girls basketball games of the season will come this Friday when the Lady Rams host Bunn.
FHS, coached by Lester Wilder, is just one game behind Bunn in the Northern Carolina Conference standings.
And Franklinton’s lone league loss came at the hands of the Ladycats -- a fate FHS would love to avenge this Friday.
FRANKLIN COUNTY -- Bunn’s girls winning streak reached eight last Friday as the Ladycats remained undefeated in Northern Carolina Conference action with a 63-46 decision over Warren County at the Bunn Dome.
BHS is now 12-6 overall, and the Ladycats haven’t lost since Dec. 27. Bunn is also a perfect 8-0 in the NCC, which is good enough for first place outright.
Dustin Newton accepts his jersey from (l to r) FHS boys basketball coach Clarence Walker and assistant coach George Hale. The special event was held last Friday.
