ReportCard! – Elected School Boards

Some people look forward to getting their grades when the report cards come out. Others hope that the dog eats them.

Halifax County hits the Big Time!

Remain calm. All is well. Planning for only 7000 people has been handled. They got this. Yes, it’s ridiculous.

TossUp!: “We give up” or “You pay up”?

This one flew under my radar but I have to thank the SouthsideCentral readers for suggesting this article. Is this what it is or is it a way to get the much needed money?

Thumbs! (3/27/14)

The red zone is for unloading only. The white zone is for Thumbs! Let’s see what we have today…

Thine Holy Nuclear Fireball?

“God said Nuke ’em” was the other headline I was considering using. Anyway, let’s look at a “letter to the editor” that contains a quite bizarre analogy…

It’s not like they were going to use their credit limit anyway…

The Halifax County Industrial Development Authority is only allowed to borrow $6,000,000 for the rest of the year. I’m here to tell you that this will definitely not be a problem in 2014. In other news, furniture coating isn’t really a hot and fabulous attraction. Who knew?

Time Machine: Is he still missing?

Normally when we hop in the SouthsideCentral Time Machine, we go back at least a few years. Not today, kids. We’re going back about two months to a Halifax County missing person search that seems to have gone missing itself…

The man who’s not resigning has resigned.

Earl Womack’s adventure of resigning his job but not resigning his elected position then resigning that one too slipped under my radar for a while. Let’s fix that now…

Thumbs! (12/02/2013)

Now that Thanksgiving holiday is over, we’ve got a stack of Thumbs! Let’s give them out…

Endorsement: Fay Satterfield for Halifax County School Board

We’re moving to District 6 in Halifax County where we have one-term incumbent Fay Satterfield and challenger Rita Best campaigning for a four-year term. We’ve made our decision on who we’d vote for if we still lived in the district…

Endorsement: Kim Farson for Halifax County School Board

Halifax County’s current school board chairman, Kim Farson, is running for her second term on the school board. After knocking off a two-term incumbent her first time, this time she’s unopposed.

Tom McLaughlin’s Week Off

This is not to be confused with “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”, which is actually entertaining.

Our favorite left-leaning local columnist takes the week off and is promptly replaced by his own Mini-Me.

60th District House Race – Update #2

This really isn’t a race. James Edmunds will win and win big.

The October Surprise that wasn’t.

We now have an “October Surprise” in the Halifax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Race that’s about as bland as a slice of white bread. Of course, WSET’s Heather Rosenbaum is on the story with bad investigative reporting. Let’s take a look at this big chunk of nothing…

Six weeks ago, we took our first look at this race so it’s time to see what’s been happening since then.

You’re going to start dying in 30 years…

… so says Tom Raab. That makes it official, you know.

Losing it all in a house fire…

… isn’t easy at all, and I’ve got a friend that it just happened to. It’s a rare change of pace from the normal SouthsideCentral style, but my friend could use all the help she can get. Details after the cutline…
