Village of Pinehurst Awards Ceremony
The Village of Pinehurst held a ceremony at Village Hall Friday afternoon to honor not only their own, but members of
the community who have made significant contributions to the safety of the Village and its residents this year.
Our heroes in law enforcement who were honored are: Telecommunicator Curtis Musser, Officer March, Officer
Smith, three officers to whom I apologize for missing their names - but they are in the same picture together -, Detective
Bender, LT. McDonald, Sr. Patrol Officer Maness, Sr. Patrol Officer Ebel (sp?), Master Patrol Officer Hall, SGT
Tina Shepperd, and Sr. Officer Rico Washington who was named Officer of the Year.
Also honored were the nine Moore County heroes who have fallen over the years.
A special presentation was made to the Wanda Rhyne, wife of fallen hero Rick Rhyne by Chief of Police Phipps and
LT McDonald.
The ceremony ended with an emotional 21-gun salute and taps. Refreshments were served.
From The Sandhills Sandbox to EVERY member of our law enforcement agencies: THANK YOU for what you do for
us every single day of the year!

Live After 5 and The Sand Band
Need I say more? I have missed two Live After 5’s. So I know that which I say is true: Want a crowd at Live After 5?
Have the Sand Band play!! Friday night hosted, by far, the largest turnout for a Live After 5... And the Sand Band did
NOT disappoint!
The nonprofit being honored for the evening was the Boys & Girls Club of the Sandhills along with our own, Caroline
Eddy.
Of course, adult beverages were available. The Village Deli cooked burgers and hot dogs on the sidewalk. The Red
Door Cafe was open and serving food and beverages. The weather was absolutely perfect. ALL the ingredients for a
fantabulous evening. And it was!
What’s that? You weren’t able to be there? Well, never fear - The Sandhills Sandbox has you covered. Check out the
photo album below.
