Good morning, Mooresville.

An Eagle Scout project called Honor the Flag Initiative built two flag retirement boxes painted to resemble the American flag.

One box is at Triplett Church in Mooresville (a spot for residents to donate worn flags for proper retirement).

EnergyUnited Board Director Lisa Campbell Pullis (Iredell County) earned the National 23 Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s Board Leadership Certificate as a mark of her ongoing education and commitment to sound governance.

The recognition came as the cooperative enhanced its board skills in a shifting energy market.

Today, North Carolina eased teacher licensing rules to help fill classroom shortages by removing Praxis testing and SAT/ACT score requirements for college students and by giving first-year teachers more time for exams (also benefiting experienced educators moving in), aiming to boost recruitment ahead of the new school year.

Ray White, an Iredell County resident, won a $200,000 lottery prize after buying his 5 Times Lucky ticket at Speedy Gas on Salisbury Road (in Statesville).

Seventy-nine teens joined the largest Iredell County Sheriff’s Office teen academy this year — watching K-9 units search for drugs and suspects to learn more about law enforcement.
