Zahra Baker.
I’ve probably typed her name hundreds of times in the past five months.
Monday was another one of those days when I typed Zahra’s name over and over again as I learned more about what happened to the freckle-faced cancer survivor. The more I type Zahra’s name, the more I hope to see swift, firm justice delivered in the case.

With only a handful of exceptions during the past decade, I have spent at least a couple of evenings every month attending regular and special meetings of some elected government body or another. Some months, particularly when I was a fledgling cub reporter covering anything and everything that came my way, I toted a notepad and pen into a couple of meetings every week.
LAURELS
Laurels to four Kiwanis Clubs in Catawba County and the city of Hickory, which are partnering to create a special playground to honor the life of Zahra Baker.
The project aims to create a play space suitable for children with disabilities, who are like the 10-year-child who used a prosthetic leg and hearing aides until she died and was dismembered in 2010.
