WRAL azaleas for Norwayne
Norwayne Middle School has been selected by NC Beautiful to receive a special beautification prize of 100 azaleas, for use in the school's 2007 beautification projects. The award is part of NC Beautiful's 22nd annual Azalea Celebration, which rewards North Carolina community groups for improving their communities through creative landscape projects.
"This is the first time that our school has received this outstanding recognition from WRAL-TV 5," said Principal Mario Re. "Planting the azaleas will be a hands-on activity beneficial for the beautification of our campus. The students will gain an appreciation of science and the environment."
Sixth grade students will plant the azaleas on the school's campus in various locations. Parents are also volunteering to help with the project.
Sheep recovery
On Halloween at approximately 2 p.m., detectives received a call from Bill Bennett on Bartlett Road stating that he had located the sheep that was reported stolen from the Charles B.

After a 20 minute chase through Bennett's yard, the sheep (Annabelle) was captured and returned. Other than being a little frantic, Annabelle is expected to make a full recovery. Detectives will continue their search for the person(s) responsible for taking Annabelle.
