My grandmother’s birth date was a weeks days ago and I have been thinking about her a lot. She was born in the Shenandoah Valley in 1884. Her family were farmers, as were most of the people in the Shenandoah Valley. Her life was pretty hard until she met and married my grandfather. She and my grandfather settled in the town of Thomasville, but she continued to love fresh fruit and vegetables. She planted a large garden each year and canned enough for the winter.

These two newspapers were here when I got here and they’ll be here when I’m gone. Over the course of the past dozen-plus years I’ve worked hard along with the staff of the Bertie Ledger-Advance and The Enterprise to make sure these newspapers survive long after we’re gone. kAm(:E9 E96 ?6HDA2A6CD E96>D6=G6D 36:?8 `af 2?5 `ae J62CD @=5 C6DA64E:G6=J[ E96J’G6 6249 366?

I was still a young teenager when I moved across Bertie County from Askewville to Kelford. My family may as well have moved to Montana as far as I was concerned. I knew very few people on the western end of Bertie County and only saw them at Bertie High School. kAmxE EFC?65 @FE E@ 36 2 H@?56C7F= >@G6 7@C FD 2D x >6E D@>6 H@?56C7F= A6@A=6 2?5 6?;@J65 49FC49 2?5 E96 4@>>F?:EJ G@==6J32== 2?5 7@@E32== 82>6D H6 A=2J65]k^AmkAm%96 >2:? 36?67:E @7 E96 H6DE6C?

Just when you think Republicans have shown every single contempt possible for the voters, they outdo themselves again. On Friday, four Republican justices on the N.C. Supreme Court – Paul Newby, Philip Berger Jr., Tamara Barringer and Trey Allen — thumbed their noses at overseas voters, including those who are serving our nation in the United State military. kAmp== @7 E9:D 4@>6D :? 2? 2EE6>AE E@ 96=A E96 3:886DE D@C6 =@D6C @7 @FC E:>6 – y6776CD@? vC:77:? – 86E 2 D62E @?
