BELL ON BOOKS

  • Lawman versus outlaw

    In his concise and fast-moving "To Hell on a Fast Horse: Billy the Kid, Pat Garrett, and the Epic Chase to Justice in the Old West" (William Morrow; 336 pages; $26.99), historian Mark Lee Gardner sets the record straight about the thrilling manhunt for Billy the Kid by his nemesis, Sheriff Pat Garrett.

TOP LIFE HEADLINES

  • POWER flowers

    Don’t get ahead of yourself.

    After the harsh winter, it is easy to become excited on bright sunny days and want to start planting spring gardens. That is not a good idea with April 15, the average frost free date for the area, still a month away, said Joie Byrne, a member of the Nash County Master Gardener Volunteer Association.

TOP HEALTH HEADLINES

  • Classes get the word out

    Lee Bailey loves controversy.

    When Bailey brainstorms ideas for the bimonthly free community outreach classes put on by Nash Health Care, she looks for trendy or controversial health topics. She wants subjects that will catch the public’s attention and draw people into the classes.

TOP FOOD HEADLINES

  • It's time to go nuts!

    Forget for a second that peanuts are a natural, nutritious food.

    Forget that some studies show eating them helps reduce the risk of heart disease.

    Forget that they are a versatile ingredient that can be a complement in everything from starter to dessert.

TOP MARQUEE HEADLINES

  • More than a family affair

    Cherryholmes was never meant to be a performance band.

    When Jere and Sandy Cherryholmes had their children learn a musical instrument so they all could play together, it was to make them closer as a family. Some parents and children watch television together; the Cherryholmes family played music, Jere Cherryholmes said.

TOP RELIGION HEADLINES

  • Muslim style sweeps Europe

    WITTEN, Germany — T-shirts and hoodies declare “Terrorism has no religion.” A head-covering tunic bears the message: “Hijab. My right. My choice. My life.”

    A German fashion label is out to tell the world that Islam isn’t just compatible with Western values of tolerance and free expression — it can be hip, too.
