Mike Moore, Media, The first place to hear Rockingham County News and Information. News is sponsored by Dyer's Plumbing. Juvenile petitions are being obtained for a student who made threats of mass violence toward Bethany Charter School. A text thread to seven students indicated they were going to shoot up the school. Officers from NC Department of Juvenile Justice are investigating. Also this week, Rockingham County Schools and Law Enforcement were made aware of other social media threats being shared and reposted. They were not directed toward any school in Rockingham County or any school elsewhere and are not credible. Students and parents are being urged to report, don't repost. And there's a scam circulating on the Rockingham County buy, sell, and trade page showing a picture of a man claiming to be homeless, asking for help, and attacking victims. It warns he's armed and dangerous. Similar scams are showing up on marketplace and missing person sites, only trust posts from local legitimate law enforcement agencies. Here's this week's arrest report from Eden Police Department, Lawrence Mitchell Smith, D.W.I. and Fleed to allude arrest, Dewey Andrew Roberts III and Matthew Colton Simpson, D.W.I., Timothy Thor Sorell interfering with emergency communications, simple assault, resist obstruct and delay, Pamela Roberts Price and Akisha Lynn Shelton, trespassing, Matt Dalton, shoplifting, Randy Craig Kinnett, misuse of 911 communications, Joshua Shane Church, defrauding an innkeeper, Cheryl Pulliam Farmer, simple assault, James Michael Fuller, Greensboro, cyberstocking. Rockingham County Sheriff's Office has issued arrest warrants for Gregory Keith Hirston, for violating the NC sex offender registry and failure to appear in court on a similar violation. He's actively attempting to allude arrest. Anyone with information on Gregory Keith Hirston is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office or Crime Stoppers. The Rockingham County Fire Rescue Chiefs Council met last night, guests and fish and Neil Jakes thanked the group for participating in the county-wide food drive.

By cutting the federal funds interest rate by a half a percent, the Fed will lower rates on car loans and credit cards. Tupperware Brands Corporation, whose products were a staple of American kitchens for generations, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, a victim of increased competition and changing food consumption habits.

Welcome to September 20th on the National Day Calendar. Today, we're indulging in a classic pizza favorite and toasting with a festive beverage. Can you taste it? A piping hot pizza fresh out the oven with gooey cheese and crispy pepperoni slices on a perfectly baked crust? The pepperoni pizza has become an American favorite, gracing the tables of pizza parties, family gatherings and casual dinners alike. Its origins can be traced back to Italian immigrants who brought their culinary traditions to the United States, blending them with local flavors. Today, pepperoni pizza is a beloved dish that brings people together with every delicious slice. So grab a pie from your favorite pizzeria or make one at home because today is National Pepperoni Pizza Day. Well, instead of going out, I'm coming over today because I can't wait to try your pepperoni pizza. I mean, you should. If you didn't catch the show, you should catch our show on YouTube because I'm an awesome pizza maker. I've heard this and I've seen you in action, so I can't wait. You're welcome. Punch, a concoction that originated in India and traveled to Europe in the 17th century, has evolved into countless variations. Traditionally made with 5-key ingredients, spirits, water, sugar, citrus and spices, punch can be both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, offering a refreshing option for any celebration. Whether you're preparing a fruity blend for a gathering or enjoying a glass solo, celebrate the versatility and festivity of this timeless drink. Because today is National Punch Day. With boxing gloves. Wow, seriously? Hawaiian then. I don't know. That's funny. What do you drink for punch? Mine is Hawaiian but with alcohol in it. Okay.

Now, today's motivational moment. Thanks to Livingstone Well to Management, Raymond James in Madison. Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you, it can only come from you. Well, that's a great one to end the week. Thank you for listening, friends. I appreciate that. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Be sure to count your blessings today. You
