It’s a new year. And that means new goals. Many of my goals are the same as last year…Goals that I’ve failed at achieving. But, we never let failure stop us from trying to succeed. We’d really never get anything done if we did!
There’s a number of things I want to do this year.
Writing: [...]
Onslow Memorial Hospital (Twitter, Facebook) is seeking to pay mommy-bloggers and not offering equal opportunities to dads.
It’s a move I’ve called sexist, ignorant and foolish.
Certainly, moms have a particular perspective on raising children. Certainly, in Jacksonville and Onslow County moms have to deal with particular issues that other moms (you know, the non-married-to-military kind) don’t. [...]
Filing for 2009’s municipal elections are over and the slate of candidates for November’s ballot is complete. It’s time to stop guessing who will pony up to run and prognosticate about the campaigning.
Since there’s not much campaigning to analyze so far, I figure that it’d be useful to lay a baseline…Which is how I would [...]
Candidate filing for the 2009 municipal elections will begin Monday, July 6th and end at Noon on Friday, July 17th.
Filing fees (MS Excel) and more information on the municipal elections is available at the Onslow County Board of Elections website.

My week is almost over. I’m off tomorrow at Noon until Monday. So, yays for me.
If you thought recent dramas in Jacksonville were over, you were wrong. The folks at Americans for Prosperity have attacked Mr. Phillip Cherry (Director of the Onslow County Library System) for sending out an email requesting citizens speak at a [...]
Earlier this week (I think it was Tuesday or Wednesday morning) I was bicycling to work and had this flitting thought:
I haven’t heard the names “Joe McLaughlin” or “Delma Collins” in a while. Isn’t that nice?"
And it was, it was very nice…But it wasn’t to last very long. Follow the jump for details.
The following is an email sent to Representative George Cleveland (Rep, NC House-14) and Senator Harry Brown (Rep, NC Senate-6). Brown and Cleveland have been assigned to their respective Transportation Committees and are in positions that could bring NC DOT efforts to the Jacksonville/Onslow area and Eastern North Carolina.
Congratulations on your appointment to the NC [...]

Lindell Kay has a new article at the Jacksonville Daily News about the very public drama over Register of Deeds Becky Pollard’s pay.
In the article, Pollard claims that his “research” into other Registers of Deeds’ salaries was an attempt to ensure that Pollard (who has zero experience as a Register of Deeds) maintained the level [...]
Even before Ms. Becky Pollard was sworn in as Onslow County’s Register of Deeds, her husband, former State Senator and former member of the NC Department of Transportation Board, Tommy Pollard was lobbying the Onslow County Board of Commissioners to give his wife a raise.
Lindell Kay reports in the Jacksonville Daily News:
