Nash County will soon be receiving payments from the national opioid agreement with the nation's three major drug distributors and a nationally renowned pharmaceutical company.
States and governments, including North Carolina, have filed a litigation against Cardinal Health, McKesson Corporation, AmerisourceBergen and Johnson & Johnson for their roles in the opioid epidemic.

Nash County commissioners and staff have discussed several recommendations for adjusting the proposed 2022-2023 fiscal year budget.
Recommendations include to increase the cost of living (COLA) adjustment for employees to three percent, to hire public health nurses for the health department and an administrative assistant for Veteran's Services, to add patrol deputies in Southern Nash County, to examine the salaries of personnel in the detention center, and to increase water and sewer fees.

Some things to think about:
Fact: If you don't fix the outside cats that you are feeding, your pet food bill will increase. It is cheaper to fix them than to feed an increasing population. Just this week the Nash Shelter had 14 kittens come in, 11 from one person!

Robbie and I were flipping through channels the other night and came across an old movie called "The Poseidon Adventure". It starred the late Gene Hackman.
The movie was about a luxury cruise liner, the S.S. Poseidon, which capsized from a tidal wave on New Year's Eve. When the dust settled, a handful of survivors - led by Hackman (a liberal, self-determined preacher) - decided to work their way to the hull of the ship, which is now above water.

In 1994 I was fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in a short term mission trip to the Ukraine. I shall not soon forget my experiences among those sweet people. This was my first international trip and while I traveled with an experienced team, there were things for which I could not be prepared.
One of those experiences was related to their hunger for God's word.

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who was once famous for playing football, but will forever now be known as the "guy who started the kneeling during the national anthem" got another tryout with a team last week.
He hasn't played since 2017. You might also remember him as the guy who compared playing in the NFL to slavery. He was paid $43.79 million over his five-year career and then got another $10 million settlement from the league after that.

Last week a rant was posted on social media professing the disrespect of the media at a local event.
There were five or six media outlets, both print and television, covering the event.
Apparently there were representatives of one media outlet which chose to plant themselves in the best place to film the event which apparently meant standing between the speaker and audience.

This photo was found in The Nashville Graphic's 1979 archives. Southern Nash High School marching band members participated in the filming of a television commerical for Don Bulluck Chevrolet that was produced in Sunset Park in Rocky Mount.
