Mike Moore Media, the first place to hear Rocky County News and Information. News is sponsored by Lane's Family, Pharmacy and Home Health Care, weekly arrest report from Eden Police, first from Eden, Thomas Andy Hirston, Sr., Cody Michael Dunn, Fonequa Rochelle Fallen, and Michael Lever, all charged with driving well-impaired, Kevin Lee Hall, felony sex offense and assault, Megan Marie Miller, possession of methamphetamines, marijuana and misdemeanor child abuse, Kimberly Dawn Purdy, Larceny and Drug Possession, other arrest from Reedsville, Erica Joe Gardner, driving well-impaired, Christine Myrick Vernon, driving well-impaired, possession of drug paraphernalia and misdemeanor child abuse. Danville Police are investigating the death of Fred Matthew Floyd, 68. Late Thursday, he was tubing on the Dan River with friends with a lost sight of him. He was later found in the water unconscious and not breathing, and autopsy will be performed by the state medical examiner. The NC House has given final approval to a bill de-annexing land from the town of Summerfield, allowing a local developer to bypass town council and bill the villages of Summerfield Farms, transforming 1,000 acres into a mixed-use development with homes, apartments, townhouses, restaurants, grocery stores, and other commercial opportunities. It will take years to become reality continuing to improve health and life expectancy in Rockingham, Wilford, and neighboring counties. Cone Health has paid $12 million for 30 acres to build a medical complex at Pyramid Village, near U.S. 29 in Northeast Greensboro. Last month, Cone paid $15 million for another 30 acres on Horsepin Creek Road. Numbers in the news, $16 million. That's how many tree seedlings in the NC Forest Service Nursery Program produces each year, enough to plant roughly 30,000 acres of land annually. That's equivalent to about 23,000 football fields. Lots of people are making the change to lanes. In Mitchell's recently closed, customers were forced to go somewhere else. Thank you for trusting Lane's family pharmacy in home health care. That's a smart choice. Lane's is local and delivers prescriptions countywide. Here's the number to call 336-627-4600. I'll be picking up a refill today as a matter of fact. It's our honor to care for you at Lane's.

Following an incident with two U.S. inspectors in Mexico, consumers' access to avocados could soon become limited. The Agriculture Department has temporarily suspended inspections, meaning a reduction in avocado imports. Fopen Seafood is recalling smoked Norwegian salmon slices, toast-sized 8.1 ounces, identified by lot number 412, sold in Kroger and Payless supermarkets across 15 states. A routine inspection of lot 412 turned up contamination caused by the presence of Listeria. I'm Mark Huffman. Learn more at consumeraffairs.com. Quick correction on the community calendar. I don't know why I was thinking July 4th is Wednesday, but it's actually Thursday. So I said the annual July 4th Fun Parade at Fair Funeral Home is on Wednesday. So it's always been on July 4th, so that is Thursday, and that starts at 9.30. Wines through the neighborhood. Hope you can take part in that.

Welcome to June 28th on the National Day Calendar. Today we're recalling a legendary figure and celebrating a rich culinary tradition. Albanian Day honors the larger-than-life lumberjack from American folklore. Albanian, with his great strength and his faithful companion, Babe the Blue Ox, is set to have created the Grand Canyon by dragging his axe and formed the Great Lakes to water bait. Although Albanian stories are rooted in the tall tales of logging camps in the late 1800s, they continue to be a beloved part of American culture. So let's reminisce on these tall tales and appreciate the rich tradition of American folklore. I used to love the Paul Bunyan story. Me too actually. And I thought he was real at one point. I did too. I think most young children think Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox are real. And I thought the Blue Ox, like I'm like, "How can knocks be blue?" So I thought maybe he was just gray and they thought he was blue. And if you go into Minnesota, Upper Minnesota, there are towns that have big statues of Babe the Blue Ox and Paul Bunyan, it's so cool. Really? Yeah, speaking of road trips, we should do that sometime. That actually sounds really cool. From the wild tales of Paul Bunyan, we switch to the savory and soulful celebration of soul food. Soul food, with its roots in the African-American community, is a hearty, flavorful cuisine born from necessity and innovation. Staples like collard greens, black eyed peas, cornbread, candy yams and fried chicken have rich cultural significance. This month, we honor not only the delicious dishes, but also the history, the community and the comfort that soul food represents. Candy yams, born from necessity, really? Yes, and deliciousness, it's innovation, and let me tell you. I believe you. I'm just kidding. I'm going to cook a traditional soul food meal for you today and we're going to watch the movie Soul Food while we eat it. This sounds like the start of a new tradition. It's going to be great. I'm Latoya Johnson. I'm Marlo Anderson. Thank you for joining us on our journey to celebrate every day. And join us on Instagram and Facebook at Destination Celebration Show. Until next time, keep celebrating. I'm certainly glad to have Destination Celebration, part of our Rockingham County Today newscast. It's available seven days a week. So yes, you can hear that on Saturday and Sunday as well. And speaking of celebrating, time for the birthday club, wrapping up the week and our giveaway. Here we have names for the 28th and 29th, okay? For the 28th, Bob Tudor in Reedsville, and our friend Richie Richardson at Affordable Applying Service, Lily Mae Witte is five, and Griffin in Madison. Happy Birthday to you today. And let's see these names for the 29th, Greg Johnson and Linda Peagram in Summerfield. Well our best wishes to you. Alrighty, that wraps up the week.

She was born June 29th, 1943, a North Carolina native born and raised and buried in our state who had one of the biggest number one hits in the early 60s. That would be the locomotion. She was discovered by Carol King. Carol Eva, a real name, Eva Boyd was a babysitter for Carol King's daughter and Carol King is actually doing backup vocals on the record, locomotion. And I'm going to do something I've never done live here in the program. I'm going to be playing the song here from the record. So this could be a little tricky, got to hit the exact groove here, hang on, I can't see the groove. Okay, hang on, bear with me, I should have figured this out another way, oh my minute, I'm so sorry. Okay, wow, this is embarrassing, I've practiced this all morning. Okay, well that was the end of Duke of Earl, okay, that's as close as I can get, it really worked well about 15 or 20 times, here we go. Okay, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, I'm going to do a little bit of that, that was embarrassing, I'm sorry, there you have confusion there, I'm going to take this, we're not playing any more of this record, all right, so I'm going to get that off the turntable, don't ever do that, now today's motivational moment, thanks to Livingstone Wealth Management, Raymond James in Madison, too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around, on that's nice, maybe I'll redeem myself with that turntable mess there with our motivational moment, thank you, friends, always good to have you listening, hope you have a wonderful weekend, I remind you as always, be sure to count your blessings.
