Towns getting tougher on water violators
No legitimate reason to be overusing a resource in a time of crisis. There is no birthright to water a lawn or wash your car. Well, some will try to make a case for it anyway.
Kevin Siers, a political cartoonist for the Charlotte Observer holds a “write a caption” constest each week. This is last week’s cartoon and winning caption:
“Fishing in Lake Norman is great, but I only CMUD!” — William Owens of Marvin, NC
Weather is also not expected to break anytime soon. Hot and Dry – makes for raking leaves a lot easier.
A Little Love for South Point from a Gazette Writer
Phillip Gardner, a sportswriter for the Gaston Gazette had a couple of nice things to say about the Red Raider game versus Ashbrook the other night.
A little love offering perhaps for the gushiness expressed for Gastonia schools over the last several years perhaps?
Who knows?
Don’t like paying $5 to park in the neighborhood? COME EARLY and tailgate ! If you wrote more stuff about Belmont area sports in a more loving tone, like what is usually reserved for Forestview and Ashbrook, maybe someone would let young Mr. Gardner park for free.
NOT !
Really, to be fair, we think Mr. Gardner does a wonderful job of covering sports in Gaston County. He makes an effort to attend the games, and get a feel for the players and coaches in his articles.
A little love goes a long way in selling papers…
