Beauty in the simplicity

The Christmas tree inside Angels and Sparrows Soup Kitchen in Huntersville features an array of unique — and many handmade — ornaments, not the least of which are construction paper containing descriptive words that describe the spirit of the holiday season. The tree helped brighten the days of visitors to the soup kitchen throughout the holidays as well as the Christmas party on Christmas Eve and lunch that was served by volunteers on Christmas Day.

Some days ....

... are just better than others. While the rest of us spend the days preceding the holidays working to get ahead or just working, former Huntersville Commissioner and newly installed state representative Charles Jeter posted this scene on his facebook page from Coki Beach, St. Thomas, USVI. The Jeter family was enjoying a cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy.

Downtown Huntersville came to life with the Christmas spirit last Saturday when the Parks and Recreation Department held A Huntersville Christmas, presented by Priority Honda.

Most of all, ‘Thank you’

Most of the notes were short, sweet and crystal clear with simple, powerful messages like “Thank you for serving,” “Thank you for protecting our country” and “Thank you for keeping us safe.” But the hand-made cards created in honor of Veterans Day by second graders in Judith Kolbenschlag’s classes at Blythe Elementary School and distributed to local veterans also included some classic lines like “Which troop are you in, Marines, Army or Coast Guard?” and “Glad to know you are out there protecting us from bad people.” No matter the message, the colorful cards with the signed, hand-printed messages from Amaya, Camilla, Joshua, Alexander, Sidney and others are now cherished mementos for American Legion Post 86 in Cornelius and will soon be arranged on a poster and displayed permanently at the post headquarters.

Pup at heart

No matter your age, some things just bring out the puppy in you, and fall’s fallen foliage did just that for Gunner, a 13-year-old golden retriever, as he enjoyed some leaf pile frolicking with his family, Jamie, Sarah and Selah Deaton of Mooresville.

‘Fall’ing in love

The changing leaves of fall seem to all but shout, “Take my picture!” Huntersville resident Kristen Moore, who enjoys a good run on the paths that wind through Jetton Park in Cornelius, snapped this shot recently on one of her daily workouts. And just in time, as the lovely fall colors are slowly beginning to wane.

In living color

We didn’t have to go too far to find this week’s Image of the Week. We just walked out to the Lake Norman Citizen’s parking lot, where the afternoon sun created fiery color through the trees.

Regal scout

Davidson Mayor John Woods recently spent time addressing Webelos Dens 4 and 8 of Cub Scout Pack 58, helping the youngsters work toward their Citizenship badge. Woods himself was a member of Pack 58 as a young lad, so he was only too glad to spend some 45 minutes with the Scouts, answering numerous questions about the role of a town’s mayor, and how government works and why it is necessary.

World Hunger Day

World Hunger Day A little rain couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of shoppers Saturday at First Baptist Church of Huntersville’s 31st World Hunger Day Sale.

An accompanying live auction is set for Sunday, Oct. 7, at 5 p.m. at the church, which is at 119 N. Old Statesville Road. Photo courtesy Jim Culbreth
