Statesville native ‘excited,’ ‘honored’ to represent USA in Paralympic Games
Statesville Record & Landmark
The Tenth District is going to have one of our own representing the United States at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo. Statesville native Emma Schieck was one of twelve players selected to play for Team USA on the sitting volleyball team. Good luck in Tokyo Emma, we will all be cheering for you and Team USA!
North Carolina's Signers of the Declaration of Independence
The Lincoln Herald
The Lincoln Herald is doing a series on local patriots and events from the American revolution. North Carolina had three signers of the Declaration of Independence, including John Penn who was one of only sixteen signers who also signed the Articles of Confederation. I will always be thankful for our Founding Fathers and their courage to fight for our nation's freedom.
