Ai Lishan-also known as “Mayberry”-will be the focus of national attention on the upcoming weekend through the coverage of senior reporter Ted Koppel on the “CBS News Sunday Morning” program.
A segment of the city will be part of the one-hour program that starts on the CBS-TV network affiliate channel 2 in the Greensboro area at 9 am on Sunday.
Koppel visited Mount Airy in June to collect materials for the report, and met with local government and other officials, as well as special residents including Betty Lynn, who played Thelma Lou in the “Andy Griffith Show.”
It is not clear when the clip appeared on “CBS News Sunday Morning”, a long-running series that is currently hosted by Jane Pauley and includes news, features and commentary. The producer of the show, Dustin Stephens (Dustin Stephens) recently revealed that the show is scheduled for a period of time after Labor Day, but the exact date is unknown.
The answer was in the show that aired last Sunday, when Pauli announced that next week, “Ted Koper visits Maybury.” The upcoming TV broadcast promo was accompanied by the familiar “Andy Griffith The show’s whistling theme music and Maybury on South Street replicated the scene outside the courthouse.
It also includes footage of an interview with Koppel by Randy Collins, president and CEO of the Dashan Airy Chamber of Commerce-Collins said that “Maybury is fictitious and everyone knows that” the promotion ends.
“We talked for a long time,” Collins said on Monday of his exchange with the 81-year-old Koper. Koper’s journalism career began in 1963 and is most famous for his role as the ABC network’s “nightline” late-night news. The host of the show.
Now that the broadcast date is known, there is a lingering question mark in the tone of the Mount Airy/Mayberry scene.
Collins said on Monday that the main points of the market segment may involve how ideas or concepts like Mayberry are reflected in small towns like Mount Airy in modern times. He added that this is based on Koppel’s questioning route and the subject of discussion.
“Of course, you never know how to edit certain content, etc.,” the official of the chamber of commerce said, while pointing out that anyone is guessing the content of the final product.
“We hope this will have a positive impact on the community,” Collins said of himself and other interested parties in the area. “I am optimistic.”
In an interview with The Mount Airy News in June, Koppel stated that a focus of this section will involve exploring the continued popularity of the “Andy Griffith Show” and the future prospects of its aging fan base.
He also asked about the nature of local politics, and producer Stephens said that this will be part of the modern Maybury report.
Collins said that he tried to emphasize to Koper in an interview that although Maybury is a fabulous place, the town values it emphasizes are what really matters.
“No matter what people think of Maybury, we will strive to live here,” the chamber official said of his message that he tried to impress Koper.
North Carolina Forest Service Guildford County ranger Jimmy Holt (Jimmy Holt) said the situation on the smoky Pilot Mountain on Sunday night did not improve, and the fire made “significant progress” overnight. According to Eric Southern of the Surrey County Emergency Services Center, the burned area was reported to be wide, but it was confirmed Monday morning to exceed 400 acres.
On Monday morning, the plane took off again to assess the location of the fire. These reconnaissance missions are to detect fires from the air in order to formulate an actionable firefighting plan, which will be implemented on Tuesday. There were no plans to drip water in the fire on Monday.
On the ground, the fire fighting strategy is still containment. The Park Service and the North Carolina Forest Service are on-site managing the scene, and the South said they have controlled the fire. State officials and local agencies have expanded their teams to approximately 60 people to fight the pilot mountain fire. The Southern Report stated that there have been no reports of injuries.
Windy and dry weather will not help, Holt pointed out that today will be the worst day. Fire site management is transitioning from regional incident events to Type II operations. Due to the size and possibility of the structure that may be affected, Holt explained that the fire needs to be reclassified in order to bring in additional funds and resources.
Currently, the fire has been contained on state-owned land, and Holt is satisfied with maintaining the status quo. The public can assist firefighting operations by staying away from Pilot Mountain State Park, which is closed until further notice. Although no report has been made yet, drone pilots have been asked not to take aerial photographs of the area.
Ranger Holt wanted to let the public know that the staff who extinguished these fires at the scene were well taken care of. They thanked all the prayers and blessings. The community quickly responded to a large number of online support and assistance requests.
“Our community has received tremendous support by donating water, beverages and snacks! Thank you! Currently, our fire chief and rescue chief only ask for donations. Donations will be donated to Pilot Knob Vol. The fire department, Pilot Mountain Rescue and EMS, yes. Do it in person at the city hall with cash, cheque or card.”
Although Thanksgiving has long been the traditional start of Christmas, for some local residents, the beginning of the season will not be another week-when the annual Rockford Candlelight Christmas occurs.
Hannah Holyfield, president of the Rockford Conservation Society, said: “This is what many people told me at the end.” “Now I can start my Christmas. I have been to candlelight Christmas.”
This year’s two-night event-Thursday, December 2 and Friday, December 3-marked the 31st Christmas concert at the Rockford Methodist Church in Rockford Village, although it will be the first in two years Face-to-face meeting.
“Last year, our 30th place must be virtual,” she said. As was the case with most traditional public gatherings in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic prevented the event’s performers and fans from gathering—but Holyfield said the holiday traditions still exist.
“We let everyone who performs normally send their music, they record it and send it to us, and we put it on our Facebook page and our website,” she said. “Even if we can’t watch it in person, they can watch the music that was meant to be played electronically. This is something… we can’t live without it.”
Although the pandemic continues, the reduction in cases driven by vaccines and social distancing policies has allowed the resumption of many public events, including this year’s Rockford holiday gathering.
Holyfield said: “We will be able to unite again. This is just a relief.” “This is important to Rockford, and it is also important to people year after year. A lot of people missed it last year… We are very Unfortunately, it has to be cancelled. This year we are very happy that we will be able to do this.”
Dr. Gena Poovey, a music professor at Limestone University in Gaffney, South Carolina, will perform again for two nights. Poovey is a part of tradition as well as candles and the 107-year-old church, and is the only singer or musician to perform at the event every year. She played an important role in helping to start the candlelight Christmas tradition that has become Rockford.
Holyfield explained that the late Evelyn Holyfield-her husband’s aunt and founder of the Rockford Conservation Society-lived with Purvey in Rockford and worked as a visiting artist at Surrey Community College. When organized the first such holiday party.
Hannah Holyfield said: “They got together and decided to make a plan and do it on the first Friday of December.” They continued to hold this service every year until 1999, and it became clear that one service was no longer available. Enough again.
“It’s so popular,” she said. “It (the church) is full of people… People line up in a row and people stand on the sidewalk outside and listen. In 2000, we decided to stay for two nights because it was too crowded.”
“I don’t know what it will be this year. There may be many people because everyone is ready to go out and come back, or some may be reluctant. If they are more comfortable wearing masks, we will definitely provide masks for anyone at the door. We Hope it is safe, but we want to return to normal. We are looking forward to it, looking forward to hearing all the performances and the candlelight atmosphere in this small church. This is the best way to start Christmas.”
On Thursday night, Poovey will sing accompanied by Amey King. Wendy and Johnny Dearmin will also perform, as will Marshall Brothers and High Road and the Surry Central High School choir directed by Angie Smith.
On Friday, Poovey will be accompanied by Adam Rudisill. Other performers include Judy Taylor, Wendy and Johnny Dearmin, and Jade Kiger and Friends.
The service starts at 7 o’clock every evening. The church’s parking spaces are limited, but the shuttle service provided by YVEDDI will be available from the parking lot of Rockford Baptist Church starting at 6 pm, and refreshments will be provided after each show.
