“Mrs. Pam [Lee] got this and sent this to me. I think we discussed it in the Carroll County Development Association - it’s just a marker for the 150 years of the courthouse. This is a state historical marker.” Chancery Clerk Casey Carpenter stated.

Heading toward spring of 2026, Daylight Savings Time will begin Sunday, March 8, at 2 a.m. The changing of the season will bring more springlike temperatures and longer days. With Daylight Saving Time, the clocks will “spring forward” one hour. Sunrise and sunset will be about one hour later beginning March 8, bringing longer evening. I have always preferred when Daylight Savings Time begins it feels like the true start of spring. This gives us later daylight hours to enjoy more time outside, to walk, do yard work, attend ball games and enjoy a host of other outdoor activities.

On Feb. 11, the full Senate in a voice vote tabled a concurrent resolution that would have allowed citizens to propose new state laws, or amend or repeal existing ones. The tabled bill missed a deadline for action and died the next day.

Robert Wise has written another lengthy article criticizing Trump. {NSS 2/20} He blames the administration for allowing a nameless staffer for making a despicable post in the wee hours of the morning. Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary gave good advice: "Please stop the fake outrage.": Anyone with an open mind would know that Trump is not a racist as evidenced by his recent celebration of Black History Month in the White House.
