Letters to Santa solicited; deadline is Dec. 3

He’s making his list and checking it twice….
As Santa Claus prepares for the busiest time of the year, he took a break from his schedule to speak, via telephone from the North Pole, with reporters at Roanoke-Chowan Publications. The Jolly Old Elf said he needed our help with the millions and millions of letters he receives each year from all the little boys and girls.
Due to a heavy volume of mail at the North Pole Post Office, Santa solicits the help of newspapers to serve as an outlet for these letters. With that in mind, The Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald and Gates County Index will accept “Letters to Santa.” We will publish those letters and then forward them to Santa in order for him to properly load his sleigh with gifts for all the good little boys and girls.
Roanoke-Chowan area children can send their letters to the following address: Santa Letters c/o R-C News-Herald P.O. Box 1325 Ahoskie, NC 27910 Be sure to include your name, age and hometown on the letter.
Letters can also be emailed to [email protected].
We will begin accepting letters immediately. Individually submitted letters need to mailed or dropped off at our office no later than 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 3. That will give us plenty of time to forward them to the North Pole.
For local schools that submit letters from each student, those must be dropped off at the News-Herald/Index office in Ahoskie no later than 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 3.
Please have emailed letters sent to us by Wednesday, Dec. 4 so we can forward them to the North Pole.
All letters will be published in a special Christmas Greetings section. That section will be inserted into the Wednesday, Dec. 18 edition of the Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald and the Thursday, Dec. 19 edition of the Gates County Index.

Fawn stops traffic on Academy Street

‘Deer-whisperer’ saves injured fawn Traffic comes to a halt along Ahoskie’s Academy Street By Jazmine Bunch RCNH News Intern AHOSKIE - In our rural, wooded area, it’s common to see a deer or two in our headlights down a country road or some dashing to the woods to avoid cars. But on Friday afternoon, an injured fawn made quite the appearance on Academy Street, causing a traffic jam directly in front of the Vidant Roanoke-Chowan hospital. The animal was struggling to find footing, making circles in the road. This caught the attention of 24 year-old Tyref Smith, who was exiting the hospital when he spotted the fawn running between the road and the grassy area of the hospital. With Smith’s coaxing, the fawn finally laid down after about 15 minutes. He began to calm the animal by holding it and giving it water. Upon realizing that the animal was injured, others who were near-by asked for assistance from the workers in the hospital. “He came in with [the deer] and said ‘y’all don’t turn nobody away,’” said Vidant RCH employee Beth Bowen, followed by a laugh. Lynnet Melton and Stacy Futrell, two RNs who serve in the labor, delivery and nursery unit of Vidant RCH, helped to bandage the two injured hind legs of the animal. “It was a baby,” Futrell said with a chuckle, “and it needed help.” Smith lives in Raleigh, but said he was in Ahoskie visiting a relative at the hospital. He currently attends online college for graphic design at Southern New Hampshire University, but he shared that he has a love for animals. While waiting for Hertford County Animal Control, he continued to hold and comfort the animal until they arrived. In this incident, both Smith and the fawn just so happened to be at the perfect place at the perfect time.
