In response to an article titled "Mapping the Left," I would like to tell you a little about the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation and about some of our partners that are working to make their communities better places to live.

The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation proudly supports groups that are creating greater economic opportunities; investing in strong public schools; developing solid leadership for the future; and trying to make it easier for citizens to have a voice in our democracy.

We support community-based groups from down east where the Ocracoke Foundation is engaging the community in revitalizing its historic square on the Ocracoke Harbor to Craven County, where a joint effort is underway to create a small business incubator for potential entrepreneurs.

We also support groups like Mecklenburg Citizens for Public Education, Asheville City Schools Foundation and Guilford Education Alliance who are working across sectors to make sure each child in their community leaves school prepared to succeed in work and in life and organizations like Gaston Together, which is ensuring the next generation is prepared to lead that community going forward.

The list goes on, from the mountains to the coast. We invite you to visit our website to learn more about us and the work we fund. Together, we can continue to build vital communities and make North Carolina a great state for all of us to live.

In Defense of my friend, Ernie Coleman..

I am compelled to rebut some very irresponsible assertions made against Ernie's character, and also on some very hurtful and unfounded statements made about the church of which Ernie is a member and serves as a deacon.

First the church issue, because that also affects Me, a fellow member. The word "deacon" comes from the greek word diakonos, which translated means "servant". I stress the word "servant", as opposed to "ruler" or "boss". A little kid walked up to me one day and said, "Are you the boss of this church?" With a warm grin I leaned over and said,"No...I serve the Boss, I'm just another helper" I've always hoped that stuck in his little mind.

Ernie is a servant, not a dictorial power pusher around the church. Nobody at Old Ford church is scared of Ernie, child or adult. We're a fellowship of brotherly love and service to our community and abroad to foreign fields of great need through our mission support all over the world. Ernie is one of many who serve and help with whatever the need is. We feel specially comforted to have him in our midst! Jesus said, "Whosever among you who would be great, will be the servant of all". Service is God's standard of greatness, and deacons simply serve.

Now concerning other false assertions, I state and will maintain that I have never in eleven years heard any ill or condescending reference come out of Ernie's mouth concerning a person with a different skin tone than his own. I have heard Ernie state, on the contrary, that he is appreciative of the non-combative and the gentlemanly good nature of his opponent running also for sheriff.

Two good men are running for sheriff...that's fantastic! Almost unheard of! I thank God for that. Maybe a new day is dawning! Eddie Bowen, minister (servant) with the Old Ford Church of Christ.

Excuse me, but Ted Cruz was not born in the US, he was born in Canada. So where are all the birthers now? I smell hypocrisy. Just sayin'.

Thanks, Stan. Everly Brothers, it don't get no better than that. Brings back memories of first real boyfriend, close dancing, sneaking cigarettes. Today's music (in fact, I don't even call it music) is the worst ever; hard to imagine inspiring nostalgia.

Have these European countries lost their minds? Freezing to death during the winter of 2022 and now the leaders are planning to starve Europe in the winter of 2023 is insane. Do they not know how this will end? Caving in to the Globalist climate alarmist by shutting down fossil fuel and nuclear power power generation and now stopping food production will not end well. Biden and his ill informed sycophants are dead set on the same strategy for the United States. If anyone believes they are saving the Earth with these policies, they need to wake up and smell the roses or prepare to live in 1932. Ask your grandparents what that was like!

Don't think he is receiving a pension from Beaufort County he retired from the NCSHP so i would think that would be coming from the State of North Carolina. Unless Harry Meridith had 20 years of service with the BCSO he is not drawing a pension neither.

Typical conservative. No original ideas so he calls Coleman names and tells negative stories that can't be corroborated. Reminds me of Stan when he called everyone that disagreed with him a liberal wacko.

Meredith is accusing Coleman of padding his income. He's retired and receiving a pension from Beaufort County. I think it's the kettle calling the skillet black. o

Well, I guess that is what makes the world go around...people seeing things differently.

(commented on September 29th, 2014 @ 8:20 pm)
There was 2 paragraphs that said something about Jordan, the rest was on Coleman and what he is doing and going to try to do! Really, all about Jordan!!!

(commented on September 29th, 2014 @ 8:04 pm)
I did not get out of this that Meredith was accusing Coleman of padding his income. He was just flat out saying Coleman is incompetent to do the job he is running for and he is so right!!! All Coleman can do is threaten and intimidate people. I have voted Republican all my life but I will not be this time around. And maybe both of you need to reread this! You obviously did not get what was trying to be said, or maybe you both are in Coleman's pocket, too!!!
