Charlotte’s Mayor and County Commissioner Jennifer Roberts will attend the Tuesday Morning Breakfast Forum at the West Charlotte Recreation Center at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Then at 3:30 p.m. the Mayor will stop by Fuel Pizza in the Hearst Tower at the corner of 6th and College. He will visit with students from Winterfield Elementary who are participating in Fuel Pizza’s “Field to Fork” program.  The program is a six-month partnership between Fuel, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and the County Health Department. It provides seed money for local schools. The schools then take the money and start their own pizza gardens with tomatoes, spinach, basil and other items.

The partnership is designed to help fight obesity. It was inspired by Michelle Obama’s White House garden.

SALISBURY - The first really cold snap can cause an even worse cold snap, the kind that causes pipes in your house to burst.

It's a messy and expensive problem, but one that can be easily avoided.

"You will not notice a busted pipe until it does defrost," said Tony McDaniel, a supervisor with Carolina Pipe Cleaning in Salisbury.  "By that time everything under the house is getting wet, possibly ruin air condition ducts, foundation, anything like that."
