The moment of silence at the beginning of the Greensboro City Council meetings will be replaced by an invocation. Bill Knight, who took office the office of Mayor in December, said he found that almost all government bodies in the area have some kind of prayer before their meetings. Tonight’s invocation will be a remembrance of veterans in honor of Memorial Day. At future meetings, ‘prayer’ invocations will replace the moment of silence.

From cash in a sock in Asheville to a hand grenade at the Goodwill store in Madison. Police responded to the Goodwill Thrift Store at Rockingham Square Shopping Center and discovered the grenade still had the pin in it. The grenade was taken to the police department and the Greensboro Bomb Squad was called in. Seems that the device turned out to be a military training grenade. Madison police Chief Perry Webster said the training grenade was found in a bin with other clothing. Officials at Goodwill are not sure who donated the item. http://www.myfox8.com/news/local/wghp-story-goodwill-grenade-100517,0,4780903.story
