Former Commissioner Begins Blog Site
By Editor Becky Watts

ZEBULON - Former Commissioner Tamra Jarrett began an online blog for Pike County that went online last week. The blog site is open to the public with plans to address items of interest like potholes and road concerns as well as articles about people and items of interest in the community.

I asked Tamra why she began her blog site. "I wanted to stay involved in the community, and I missed writing. Unlike a regular online newspaper, I want to be able to explore issues and comment on them," she said.

"The Pothole Report is an extension of my service as a commissioner. I want to provide a public forum to call attention to the specific road concerns," she said. She also likes to take national or state issues and find a local connection.

She also wants to write about people in Pike County. "I am planning a series of stories about Pike County High grads - what are they doing now?" She also plans to cover School Board happenings.

"It's not my intent to report breaking news," said Tamra. "It would be nice if people can read it and feel like they are learning something that they might not get anywhere else."

Tamra attended the February 4, 2015 meeting of the Development Authority of Pike County and wrote about litter from the January 28, 2015 meeting of the Board of Commissioners.

Go check it out. Tamra's blog site is www.whatsup-pike.com/413998492.
