Franklin County: Board of Education Election Law Change!

community, news
Nextdoor Source: https://nextdoor.com/p/-PsyGY3X_CNs?utm_source=share&extras=MjExNjg4Nzk%3D&utm_campaign=1703360014279 Written By Frank Winstead The Franklin Times [12-21-2023] buried some important Board of Education election info on page 3A. Due to a change in state law (May 2023), voters will decide the Nonpartisan Board of Education winners in the November General Election instead in the March [Partisan] Primary Election. Underappreciated Franklin Times reporter Carey Johnson seems to have a scoop on this. I see the following effects of this change: More voters will actually have a say in picking the winner because more people vote in the General Election than in the Primary Election. Most voters in Franklin County are registered Unaffiliated. They don't have much motivation to vote in nonpartisan races held during a partisan primary. So, now the bulk of the County's voters will actually be…

Wake Forest Disc Golf Course

Wake Forrest
Wake Forest's new disc golf course is open year-round for free use to the public Monday-Friday from 4 p.m.-dusk, and Saturdays and Sundays from dawn to dusk. The rules for disc golf are similar to traditional golf by way of scoring and etiquette. Standing on what is generally a five-foot by 12-foot concrete tee pad, a player aims their disc towards a disc golf basket that’s placed from distances between 150 to 570 feet from the tee pads. These discs differ from non-competitive discs in that they have a thinner profile and a sharper outer edge to increase aerodynamics and distance. Different discs are used for different parts of the course. Just like with mainstream golf, the idea is to complete the course in the fewest throws. Click Here to…
