Closure Scheduled for Bridge Replacement in Guilford County
PLEASANT GARDEN – A long term road closure with an on-site detour will allow a contractor for the N.C. Department of Transportation to begin replacing a bridge over Big Alamance Creek in Guilford County.
Crews will close Tabernacle Church Road on March 27, and per the contract, they have 180 days to complete the replacement. A signed detour will guide traffic onto Hagen Stone Park Road to Minden Road to Neelley Road. Throughout the duration of the construction the road will be blocked from through traffic in both directions and barricades will be in place to stop traffic from entering.
Drivers should remain cautious and alert when approaching the work zone and factor the detour into their trips. For real-time travel information, visit DriveNC.gov or follow NCDOT on social media.

How the Right Pair of Shoes Can Support Your Wellness, Hobbies and Goals
(StatePoint) Looking to stay motivated and achieve your personal goals? New shoes might just be the answer. Not only can they update your wardrobe, helping you look and feel your best, but they can also support your physical and mental wellness, help you try out new hobbies, and even take small steps towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
It’s important to replace old, worn-out sneakers before embarking on a new exercise routine. When gearing up, check out brands like Nike, New Balance and Asics for athletic footwear that combines style, comfort and performance.
Ready to try out a new hobby or get back into an old one? Nike Signature Basketball styles from Lebron are on-trend and are great choices for running, jumping and playing, while Brooks Ghost running shoes feature a cushioned insole and lightweight rubber outsole in fun, vibrant colors to help you push your limits.
Perhaps you’re looking to carve out more time for relaxation and quiet activities. You can get cozy and comfortable with the right footwear. The HEYDUDE soft, comfortable slip-on styles are perfect for lounging at home or enjoying some self-care.
And if your goals include adopting more sustainable practices and reducing your impact on the environment, consider selecting footwear that incorporates eco-friendly features, like the Nike Court Vision sneaker, which contains at least 20% recycled content by weight.
For more footwear inspiration to fuel your lifestyle, visit Rack Room Shoes in-store or online at www.rackroomshoes.com.
Whether it's for fitness, self-care, trying out a new hobby or making a difference, there's a pair of shoes to meet your needs.

How to Be a Nurturing Plant Parent in 3 Easy Steps
(StatePoint) Plants add color, life and vibrancy to your home’s indoor and outdoor spaces and can even improve indoor air quality. However, if you are new to plant ownership, you may be wondering how to make your foliage thrive. Here’s are three tips for healthier plants:
1. Make a move: Many plants that do well outdoors in the warmer months can’t tolerate the cold. So don’t wait for subfreezing temperatures to bring planters indoors for the season. Be sure to give your newly-transported plants the right amount of light. This may require using special grow lights. Keep in mind though that different types of plants thrive better with different color spectrums and intensities, so group plants under the right lights accordingly. If your indoor air is dry in winter, you may find that misting the leaves of your warm climate and tropical plants will help provide needed humidity.
2. Prevent pests: Unfortunately, keeping houseplants often attracts insects that can harm them and bug you. But there are steps you can take to prevent a pest problem in your home. One important thing you can do is to be sure you are not overwatering plants. Too much water in effect drowns plants. It can also create standing water that becomes a breeding ground for flying insects. You can also provide round-the-clock protection from fruit flies, gnats and flies by plugging a Zevo Flying Insect Trap into a regular outlet near your plants and wherever flying insects enter your home or gather. Rather than chemical insecticides, the traps use multispectrum light technology to attract flying bugs into a discreet glue sheet cartridge. When the cartridge is full, replace it and toss the used one without ever having to touch a dead bug. To learn more, visit zevoinsect.com.
3. Know your lifestyle and limitations: There are many plant species that while beautiful, don’t require much care. So, if you’re new to owning plants, consider starting out with lowermaintenance options, such as succulents or snake plants. Because these plants don’t need much water, they are also great options for those who travel frequently or those who are simply forgetful. Have furry friends? Always check whether a given plant is toxic to pets before bringing one home.
Having a green thumb can seem like magic. However, with the right tools and knowledge, anyone can become a nurturing plant parent.

Potato Chips--
A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips and a six-pack of root beer and started his journey. When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old man. He was sitting in the park, just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to him and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old man looked hungry, so he offered him some chips. He gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. His smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root beer. Again, he smiled at him. The boy was delighted!
They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.
As twilight approached, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave; but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old man, and gave him a hug. He gave him his biggest smile ever..
When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy?"
He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what? He's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
Meanwhile, the old man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home. His son was stunned by the look of peace on his face and he asked, "dad, what did you do today that made you so happy?"
He replied "I ate potato chips in the park with God." However, before his son responded, he added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected."
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime! Embrace all equally!
Have lunch with God.......bring chips!!!.

Liberty American Legion Post 81 Sr. & Jr. Baseball 2023

We are wriXng on behalf of our Liberty American Legion Post 81 Baseball sponsor program. The American Legion is the world’s largest war Xme Veterans organizaXon. These Veterans have very strong values of God and Country. They love baseball so much that they sponsor hundreds of teams and touch thousands of youth players each summer! The American Legion World Series is played here in Shelby, N.C. in August each year, and the Regionals are played in Asheboro.
Our American Legion Program has two Team--- Senior & Junior players. American Legion Baseball has been played in this area for over 45 years thanks to Grady Lawson. It was Grady’s and his family’s wish that this American Legion Post 81 baseball program would conXnue to grow and be a viable opXon for kids to compete against some of the top players in North Carolina, learn the values of The American Legion OrganizaXon, and have the opportunity to play at the next level, and beyond!
This program is dependent upon the generosity of our communiXes, individuals, and businesses to fund our American Legion Baseball program. On average, it takes around $18,000.00 each summer to pay for things such as travel, umpires, equipment, and insurance.
We would very much love to have your financial support. All donors are announced over the PA system at each home game and people are encouraged to patronize our sponsors. You giC should be tax deducXble.
