I want to thank Taylorsville Police, the Alexander County Sheriff’s Office, the North Carolina Highway Patrol, Office of Probation and Parole, and Alexander County Emergency Services. They all responded professionally during the false alarm Thursday in Alexander County. It was not pleasurable duty for them but they did their jobs, I say Thank You ! As for the staff and students, Two thumbs Up, you did everything right, you make us proud !
