After not meeting for nearly a month, the Mount Airy Board of Commissioners will return to action tonight with matters including water sales to Dobson and a vote to get a city bike plan rolling. A plan to distribute surplus Mount Airy water to the town of Dobson remains at an impasse, although city offi- cials were expecting it to begin with the start of the 2010- 11 fiscal year on July 1. Todd Harris, a Mount Airy commissioner who has been involved in recent negotiations with Dobson officials, said he is unsure what course tonight’s discussion on the water issue will take.

Amanda Wall, a uled to appear in District Locklear Street resident, told police Friday that the license tag, number XZS7073, had been stolen from her 2007 Hyundai. The theft occurred in the parking lot of the Bottom Dollar grocery store on West Pine Street, where Wall is employed. A break-in of a motor vehicle and a larceny were discovered last Thursday at the Bottom Dollar store. Someone removed property owned by Christal Tonia Slate of Clayburn Lane from a 1998 Chevrolet Blazer, including a dash- board radio; an SD memory card; and a wallet contain- ing $63, a driver’s license and Social Security card, among other items. A break-in and larce- ny incident was discovered on July 6 at Slate Motor Co. on Kodiak Lane. After pushing in a window-unit air-conditioner, $85 in cash was taken from the busi- ness along with door and padlock keys. Two coin-operated machines were discovered broken into on July 5. In one incident, $100 was stolen from a Pepsi ma- chine at Eddie’s Zip Foods on North Andy Griffith Parkway and damage also was caused to the device. In the other case, $20 was taken from a machine at Laser Lube & Service Cen- ter on Rockford Street, with $50 in damage occur- ring to a door lock that was broken with an unknown tool to gain entry. All the unsolved crimes listed remain open for fur- ther investigation. EXHIBIT: Continued from page 1

where it meet the third Thursday night of each month at 7 p.m. In 1986, the Surry Quil- ters’ Guild held its first quilt show, which has con- tinued each year during the Autumn Leaves Festival. As a fundraiser, the guild makes a quilt that is raffled away during the festival. In the past, money from the raffle has been used to help various charitable or- ganizations and to buy eye- glasses for needy school children. The guild has made quilts for families who have lost their home to fires and they make small quilts for local emergency services personnel to give to children when they are transported to the hospital. Shirley Jones was the first president of the guild. Others who have held that position are Ruby Stanley, Mary Lee Love, Peggy Brintle, Diane Bowman, Lillie Douglas, Gloria Ware and the current president is Debbie Stoltz. Some of the activities of the guild include hosting three or four yearly work- shops taught by well- known quilters or members of the guild, field trips to the Amish Country in Ohio for a quilt auction and visits to fabric stores. The mem- bers also attend quilting demonstrations at local schools, the North Carolina Welcome Center and Horne Creek Farm. The exhibit will contin- ue to be on display until Oct. 2. Admission to the museum is $5 for adults and $3 for senior citizens and students. Admission is free for museum members. Memberships start at $25 for individuals and $50 per year for families. For more information about the exhibit call the Mount Airy Museum of Regional History at 786- 4478. The museum is locat- ed at 301 North Main
