Utilities took center stage for much of the Louisburg Town Council meeting Monday night as the council awarded a contract for construction of several water lines to H. G. Reynolds Co., Inc., of Henderson.
That firm bid $401,000 for water lines that will serve West College, Glenn, Noble, and Middle streets, Person and Ford Circles and Fox Park Road.
Originally the project was estimated at about $448,300 and the town had decided to borrow the money to complete it.
In the coming months, the Franklin County Tourism Development Authority plans to tackle some short- and long-range goals.
A subcommittee of the board will be tasked with preparing a proposed budget, which will coincide with strategic planning.
The authority wants to develop a budget which determines how much of the collected occupancy tax is set aside for administrative costs, how much goes toward funding projects that draw tourists, and how much funding will be built into any type of capital projects.

ROANOKE RAPIDS - Three weeks still remain in the Northern Carolina Conference football schedule, but only one club controls its destiny toward a possible league crown.

The Jackets limited Bunn’s high-powered offense to just 108 total yards, and the Wildcats committed five turnovers.

LOUISBURG -- The biggest match of the season for the Louisburg College Lady Hurricanes will be today.
But first-year head coach Andy Stokes doesn’t necessarily want his club to know that fact.
Still, it’s hard to dispute the notion, as LC needs a victory today over Cape Fear Community College to move into a first-place tie with CFCC in the Region X standings.

LOUISBURG -- So much for the theory that a weekend swoon in September would have long-time adverse effects on the Louisburg College men’s soccer squad.
Quite the contrary, as a matter of fact.
After losing back-to-back weekend matches at home to a pair of national powers four weeks ago, the Hurricanes have been on their usual October roll under veteran head coach David Sexton.

LOUISBURG -- Louisburg College football coach John Sala expected last weekend’s trip to South Alabama to be his club’s toughest of the season.
The Jaguars didn’t disappoint.
But things won’t be that much easier this week for the nationally ranked Hurricanes.

KENLY -- Once again, the Louisburg Warriors continue to make big plays when the outcome of a game is at stake.

Louisburg improved to 7-1 overall and 2-1 in the NCC, which leaves Chris Lee’s club tied with Bunn for second place. North Johnston slipped to 3-5 and 1-2.

LOUISBURG -- The Who’s epic ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’ provided a perfect musical backdrop before the opening kick of Monday’s key Northern Carolina Conference match between Franklinton and host Louisburg.
After all, LHS head coach Brent Cardwell couldn’t help but be fooled earlier in the season, when the Red Rams earned a one-goal shutout over LHS.

Prosecutors, defense attorneys and probation officials were scrambling by week’s end, trying to make sense of a judge’s decision regarding a former tax collector’s obligation to pay a debt.
Donnie Rudd was in court on Wednesday to face the potential of having his probation revoked for not making a significant dent in his $60,000 restitution — an amount that a state court assessed in 2001 on charges that he failed to disclose almost $300,000 in department income that he pocketed through a $50 processing fee that he charged to delinquent foreclosure accounts.
BUNN — A candidate’s forum drew only a handful of election contenders and no crowd to speak of, but those who did attend expressed a passion to lead and hoped the electorate would follow.
The Greater Franklin County Chamber of Commerce hosted the forum at Bunn High’s auditorium on Wednesday morning — a day before one-stop absentee voting began.

The Franklin County Board of Commissioners will be asked to take a step that will help finalize a boundary line that has plagued Franklin and Wake county property owners.
In 2006, both Franklin and Wake counties realized the need to examine the line because of discrepancies, most notably regarding residents in the Richland Hills development and whether they lived in Franklin or Wake county.

A Wake Forest woman died Wednesday night from injuries sustained in a one-vehicle wreck.
