Gastonia Police talk traffic stops with Black leaders
As Hunter Huss head football coach Randy Thompson listened to Gastonia Police officers talk about their view of executing traffic stops his mind wandered a bit to the players he mentors on the field. For a lot of my kids, they have only had negative experiences from the police and we know that they re not all bad but that is the perception, Thompson said.
Thompson heard from the officers at a community event Saturday held at Tabernacle Baptist Church involving community leaders and police officers. He said he appreciated officers being willing to share their experiences and what goes through their minds during traffic stops.
Brunswick County has issued a Stage 1 water conservation alert and is asking residents to voluntarily reduce their non-essential water use.
The conservation alert comes as water demand has exceeded 80% of the county s available production and distribution capacity, with demand expected to increase over the Memorial Day weekend, according to a news release from the county Friday morning. Irrigation demands are making up the bulk of non-essential water use.
Brunswick County Commissioner Randy Thompson said the move is precautionary ahead of an anticipated increase in users during the tourist season. We re going to the active tourism season with the next couple of weekends so we just want to make sure that everyone is mindful of the water consumption issues so that we do not get into any type of need to move into another phase, he said.
