Want2Dish - DONNAMARIE NEEDLE: Mount Airy Councilwoman Wendi Peters decides to not run for re-election

Want2Dish - People - Local Government (including services such as fire / ems / police) - COUNCILWOMAN PETERS SURPRISES RESIDENTS: "FEBRUARY 23, 20122 DAYS, 14 HOURS AGO MOJO: DONNAMARIE NEEDLE"


Mount Airy town council members, the mayor, commission members, residents and five candidates all gathered at Town Hall on Monday, Feb. 13, for the bi-annual Board of Elections nominations meeting. 


Councilwoman Wendi Peters, whose term would soon end, stood in the back of the room. As nominations were announced, one couldn't help but notice the puzzled and questioning looks on many faces; by the end of the process, a nomination had not been made for Councilwoman Peters.


As a wave of shock overtook the crowd, Peters seemed content with her decision. “It was after prayerful consideration and discussion with my family that I decided not to seek re-election,” said Peters...

Herald Tribune: #Orioles - Delivering on our promises By Laura Williams Monday, February 13, 2012


Signs of spring are everywhere in Sarasota County — just look for the birds. White pelicans flock to Sarasota Bay, snowbirds gather along U.S. 41, and the Baltimore Orioles swoop into Ed Smith Stadium.

Baseball spring training has arrived in Sarasota again.

This beloved sports ritual of springtime began in Sarasota in 1924, when Payne Park hosted the New York Giants. Today, Sarasota County welcomes more than 300 Orioles players, coaches and staff, as well as their families. They tell us they love Sarasota, and are heartened by the warm reception they receive here. They voice the ultimate compliment: "We feel at home."
