Last week, the News-Press ran a photo of Creative Cauldron’s new production ‘Diagnosed.’ In the caption for the photo, the wrong picture credit was placed as a “Courtesy Photo,” when it should have been credited to William T. Gallagher. The News-Press apologizes for this error.

I was very pleased to see the article about FCC’s focus on environmental responsibilities and sustainability.

Each year, FCCPS works to establish a school calendar. And each year, some folks argue for start in late August or after Labor Day. This late start makes little sense in terms of instruction (frankly the most common argument I hear is that people like their late summer discounts on Outer Banks rentals).
