Clemmons man makes specialty walking sticks
CLEMMONS, N.C. (WGHP) — For over 85 years, Travis Hanes has loved working with wood. 'I'm a whittler,' Hanes said. 'I have a lot of fun with it.' Over the years he's whittled thousands of walking sticks, most from maple trees on his family's farm. 'All these sticks have a personality,' he said. Hanes not only makes them but uses them as well to get out and visit people, especially the kitchen that his late wife made famous. Hanes and his wife, Evva of 71 years, built Mrs. Hanes's Handmade Moravian Cookies, which has become a worldwide favorite. 'My favorite is the lemon cookies,' he said. Evva passed away in 2023, but her family, who has been a big part of the business, continues her legacy. Often, you'll find Hanes, with his walking stick in hand, greeting workers and customers and sharing the sweet story of love, family, cookies and a lifetime of giving. He gives most of his walking sticks away to veterans and first responders. 'Every one of these sticks represents a very joyful time in my life,' he said. 'And all I'm doing is spreading joy.' You can purchase his sticks at Mrs. Hanes' Moravian Cookies on Friedberg Church Road. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Emergency fund created for victims, Jewish safety after Boulder terrorist attack
DENVER (KDVR) — Boulder Jewish leadership has created an emergency fund to help support the Jewish community after Sunday's attack that left 12 people injured, including two people who were still hospitalized as of Monday afternoon. The fund was established by JEWISHcolorado, a nonprofit that aims to convene, connect, invest and protect Jewish life in Colorado, Israel and around the world. The organization created the fund the day after an attack on a peaceful pro-Israel demonstration on the Pearl Street Mall. The suspect in the case is facing a federal hate crime charge and the attack has been described as terrorism by multiple law enforcement agencies. Total injured in Boulder attack increases to 12; federal hate crime charge filed 'In the wake of yesterday's horrific attacks on peaceful participants at the Run for Their Lives event in Boulder, our community is reeling but standing strong together,' the nonprofit wrote. 'Since the moment this violence occurred, JEWISHcolorado has been in constant communication with Boulder Jewish Community leadership to assess immediate and ongoing needs.' The nonprofit said that it has a goal of $160,000 for the Boulder community that will be used in response to the attack in four areas: enhanced safety and security measures, direct victim support, comprehensive trauma support and emerging community needs. The organization said that it would be using the funds to: Provide additional protections for Jewish institutions, events and gathering places in Boulder County; Offer immediate financial assistance to individuals directly impacted by the attack to help with medical expenses, lost wages, transportation and other urgent personal needs Offer professional counseling and healing resources to both direct victims and community members experiencing secondary trauma Unforeseen challenges that may arise during this period 'Thank you in advance for your support, and we continue to pray for a complete recovery for those injured in the attacks and continue to hold all hostages in our hearts,' the nonprofit wrote.

Bill O'Reilly meets CCP leaders, calls for cooperation with China
(NewsNation) — Bill O'Reilly said Monday that the United States has no choice but to work with China to prevent global conflict, despite the country's history of breaking agreements and engaging in espionage. 'There's no other alternative,' O'Reilly said on NewsNation's 'On Balance' after returning from meetings with what he called 'the most powerful people' in China. 'We've got to try to get a deal with China.' O'Reilly said he briefed President Donald Trump for about 30 minutes following his China trip, though he declined to share specifics of that conversation. He said Chinese officials indicated that tariffs were not their primary concern, but Taiwan remains the central issue. '2049, 100 years since Mao Zedong imposed communism, they want Taiwan under the Chinese flag,' O'Reilly said. 'I told them that while President Trump is in office, it's not going to happen militarily.' Russia severely limited after attack: Ex-Ukraine ambassador O'Reilly proposed what he called a 'plan for peace and prosperity' that would position the United States and China as global 'enforcers' of peace, potentially sidelining Russia and Iran. He said Chinese officials appeared receptive to the concept. When pressed about China's surveillance state and human rights abuses, O'Reilly acknowledged the country's authoritarian nature but distinguished Chinese leadership from Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he characterized as more 'psychopathic.' 'I wouldn't use the word evil across the board,' O'Reilly said of China. 'It's a police state, a surveillance state. Nobody has any rights. They justify it by saying, look, we got a billion and a half people.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
