HUDSON: We will always remember

HUDSON: We will always remember

Business
September 11th, 2001 was one of the darkest days in our nation’s history. The images of 9/11 remain ingrained into the collective memory of Americans across our nation. I still remember watching TV when the second airplane crashed into the World Trade Center that morning. What we witnessed in the hours and days that followed were some of the most courageous and heroic acts of good. We saw hundreds of first responders rush into the smoke and flames of those burning buildings, passing civilians fleeing. We heard about the courageous passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 who sacrificed their lives…

HUDSON: Back to school season in the Sandhills

HUDSON: Back to school season in the Sandhills

Opinions, ,
What would you do with an extra $700 in your pocket each month?  Unfortunately, that is the cost of  “Bidenomics” and inflation—but it shouldn’t have to be that way.  The opportunity to work hard and pursue a better life for your family has always been at the bedrock of our nation. However, inflation continues to make it difficult for hardworking families to make ends meet and afford goods and services.  Did you know the average American household now spends $709 more a month than they did two years ago for the same goods and services? Average monthly mortgage payments are…

North Moore out-muscles Northwood, 38-12, in conference opener 

Sports, ,
North Moore (2-1, 1-0) ran all over Northwood (1-2, 0-1) Friday night, beating the Chargers, 38-12, in the first week of conference play.  The Mustangs overpowered the Chargers with their physicality in the run game and on the defensive side of the ball. North Moore constantly gained chunks of yards on the ground, even after running the same plays consecutively out of the option.   The Mustangs ran in five touchdowns.   “We were physical tonight,” North Moore head coach Andrew Carrouth said. “I think our guys especially in the second half imposed our will a little bit, and that was a…
