There is a national organization-National Alliance for Mental Illness, that is just awesome and has helped many people. We need this in Carroll County.

We are going to be offering a 12-week course starting on Thursday, March 6, from 6-8:30 p.m. upstairs in the old courthouse for families who have members who suffer from mental illness. It is free.

We would like to acknowledge the City of Ghent snow removal/road work by Jimmy Lewellyn. His dedication to plowing and salting the roads by being out extremely early in the morning and continually up keeping the equipment and supplies in order to provide manageable roads for drivers needs to be acknowledged. His commitment to the job goes way beyond being a City Commissioner/Supervisor of Streets and Roads; he cares about the city and its safety. It’s important to take the time to thank Jimmy for his volunteer efforts.

Joe Eddie and Mary Beall,

Thanks goes out to Carroll County High School. I will not be forgetting Jan. 10, anytime soon. I am very appreciative to everyone that made this night happen. Special needs kids sometimes just get forgotten.

I am grateful for every vote Noah received, everybody that attended the game, the gentleman who started the standing ovation, the high fives, the thank yous that were said, the people who let Bill and I into the game, and the photos taken. There were 34 to be exact — Noah counted them.

This year’s icy weather conditions caused “A Christmas Carroll” to be delayed for a week.  People with crafts, parade and food entries planned for this event and disappointed.  However, safety was an issue that had to be considered. The ice and snow caused the tent where the event was to be held to collapse. Luckily, no one got hurt.

The Carrollton Main Street Program Committee rescheduled the event and we are very glad we did.
