Opinion: Support a Sunday voting option, at the local BOE this Monday
Pamela Kelly writes “Souls to the Polls! Anyone growing up in North Carolina knows that term.

Faith and Fellowship: What Will We Do In Heaven Everyday
While we are in Heaven what a joyous time we will have sharing and fellowshipping with our loved ones that has gone us before us. “ For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face, now I know In part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 1 Corinthians 13:12

Editorial: Extending apologies to Barbara Presnell and John Spillman
Davidson Local has a small (mostly volunteer) team dedicated to the concept of Free Hyperlocal News. Thursday, we made the mistake of attributing a story written by John Spillman, Davidson GOP Vice Chair and Brand Manager, to contributor Barbara Presnell.
Op-ed: Mistakes happen by Barbara Presnell
Sometimes they come and go as swiftly as minutes. Sometimes they affect our lives in ways we can’t control. Sometimes they can do great damage.

Ann's Column: Where were you when
Now, in 2022 I think of the giant steps we need to take for democracy, for unison, for all Americans. When I hear news of Ukraine, I can still see that large, cold, colorless area of East Berlin with concrete and no life and a goose-stepping soldier.
Meet Ava Katherine Socarras, first Miss Lexington’s Outstanding Teen
It was late 2021 when Socarras was named Miss Lexington’s Outstanding Teen 2022. Her passion and social impact initiative, another term for a platform in the Miss America system, is Share a Spare, which emphasizes kidney disease. As an ambassador of the National Kidney Foundation of North Carolina, Socarras has attended meetings with nephrologists, kidney disease patients, recipients of kidney implants and kidney donors; it’s all a way to learn more about kidney disease and how to spread awareness about it.
Op-Ed: Why a small town needs an independent bookstore
Sedley Abercrombie, former teacher and librarian, had another idea. At first a pop-up bookstore, Pig City Books made appearances at local breweries, other public events, and even occasionally on street corners. Sedley grew the bookstore gradually, eventually moving into back rooms of a clothing store on Main Street and finally in June opening the first brick and mortar store in Lexington since 2014. Tucked behind buildings off Main and Center streets, it boasts a recognizable pink door and a growing clientele.
