Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Parent Of Teen Killed In Crash Wants Road Closed

(BY LESLIE BRAY EVANS, THE STOKES NEWS) - Dee Luster, of Westfield, doesn’t want another parent to have to go through what she has endured since late last summer.

On September 19, 2008, her only child, 16-year-old Sonia Luster, decided to take a popular shortcut to North Stokes High School and was killed when the car she was driving hit an oncoming truck.

Now Dee and others in the North Stokes district want the shortcut—Clyde Amos Road—to be shut down on the side where Sonia was killed. “I personally would like to have (Highway) 89 and Clyde Amos totally closed down,” Dee told the Stokes County Board of Commissioners on Monday night.
