GRINS to... GFL for picking up our trash and recycling on time. It’s nice to have reliable garbage service. The horses outside on Coldwater Road in Stokesdale. They just make me
happy seeing them walking, running and enjoying themselves. NWHS for producing a much better newspaper than the Northwest Observer. Overall, this high school produces better layout, current stories and controversial content, all without
the bias and censorship of the NWO. Editor’s note: I agree the Northwest Horizons is a well-done high school newspaper, and am sure the student staff members and teacher who works with them will appreciate this reader’s kudos. Melissa Stallings and many other amazing people who have made the long-ignored trailers of Northwest High school absolutely awesome in many ways. The person who left this note for the irresponsible dog owner in Stokesdale Park: (in case you can’t read it, it says, “You should be thrown out of the park! Rude”)
Editor’s note: We’ve been told there’s a card at the store for the community to sign and Rachel will be in the store on Thursday, July 28, 12 noon to 2 p.m., for anyone who wants to stop by and see this longtime Food Lion employee who brought many smiles to customers’ faces during her time there. Melissa Stallings and all the volunteers who have made the NWHS mobile makeover such a success. Hats off to Melissa for her vision, determination, and hard work. She’s a real community leader.

Those who think it was local politicians who raised taxes when it was actually the same crazy people with the county who claim they keep the same rate but instead raise property tax values so they still get more money.
