Musicians from across the state will again share the stage with the North Carolina Symphony in Capital Bank Blue Skies and Red Earth, a celebration that showcases the richness of traditional music of North Carolina, in performances in Asheville, Cullowhee, Hickory, Murphy, and Rutherfordton.

The local concert will start at 7:30 pm on Thursday, May 24, 2007, in Enloe Hall at Tri-County Community College on US 64 East.

Blue Skies and Red Earth was conceived, in part, to celebrate the orchestra’s 75th anniversary.

Fame Conley, a sales associate at the Cherokee Scout for over two years, was named an advertising All-Star during Community Newspaper Inc.’s annual advertising meeting on March 9, 2007.

(Peachtree Community) The North Carolina law requiring evidence of continuing competence for all licensed registered nurses and licensed practical nurses becomes effective on July 1, 2006, with full implementation effective July 1, 2008.

The goal of continuing competence is to ensure, through the use of a reflective practice model, that North Carolina’s licensed nurses maintain essential skills, continue to add to their knowledge base, and become safer practitioners.

A workshop explaining the law and requirements in detail will be presented from 10:00 am until 11:00 am on Friday, March 3, 2006, in the Travis E. Green Conference Room at Murphy Medical Center.

This is a free workshop, but seating is limited. Call Monique Matheny, registered nurse and Murphy Medical Center’s staff education coordinator, at 828-835-3640 to reserve a seat.
