Chief Irvine: Poise and Steadiness

N.P.R. likes to josh about politicians and city officials every now and then in order to keep this blog from being too dull, but if Newcastle is anything like "Mayberry," then that's a tribute to Newcastle Police Chief, Melinda Irvine, who has done a great job in her years as Police Chief.  For younger readers of N.P.R., who may never have seen "The Andy Griffith Show," the Sheriff of Mayberry, Andy himself, was competent, courageous and kept the order in Mayberry.  It was Andy's inept deputy, Barney Fife (Actor Don Knotts), that provided a lot of the laughs. Nothing in the previous post, "Not Exactly Mayberry," is contrary to what N.P.R. believes is the poise and steadiness of Chief Irvine, who has also been praised by the current City Manager and the Council.
