Good morning, Mooresville.

On July 22, friends and supporters gathered at Picasso Mediterranean at Merino Mill for its one year anniversary celebration and grand reopening as it unveiled a new name and expanded menu while Mayor Chris Carney cut the ribbon in honor of owner Michal Bay’s role in transforming the historic mill—marking a key moment for the community.

A local citizen asked LKN Publications why there is little signage at construction sites like the large project near Bryton as new developments continue in the area.

LKN explained that residents can visit local websites—such as the Mooresville GIS map showing 155 active projects including the Technology Park—to find project details.

Today the Iredell County Register of Deeds offices in Statesville and Mooresville become the first to serve as a Wildlife Service Agent and start issuing hunting and fishing licenses, including lifetime licenses, when citizens provide a certified birth certificate—staff received training and supplies from the Wildlife Resources Commission, and other registers have shown interest in the new service model. Service is available during regular business hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Iredell Memorial Hospital is seeking volunteers for both patient-facing and behind-the-scenes roles as it works to ease staff duties and enhance patient care using services like music therapy & pet therapy.

Jed Pidcock, the volunteer coordinator, said the hospital will grow volunteer programs to better serve the community.

Iredell County EMS announced today that all county ambulances are now equipped with Carter Kits, sensory bags filled with calming tools to help comfort children in emergencies.

The kits—provided at no cost through the North Carolina Emergency Medical Services for Children program—include weighted blankets, noise-canceling headphones and fidget toys to support distressed patients.

Today the zMAX CARS Tour Throwback Classic at Hickory Motor Speedway brings Late Model Stock and Pro Late Model drivers together to race for record payouts of $50,000 and $30,000—honoring legends with special paint schemes.

Qualifying begins this evening and racing follows at 7:30 p.m.—drivers aim to make history.
