Sheriff Jones names new command staff As he was getting sworn in as the county’s new sheriff, Jerry Jones had already hit the ground running, instituting a new command staff. Jack Joyner, Jones’ right hand man during his first tenure, was hired as the department’s chief deputy on Friday.          Responders engage in fiery competition There were plenty of small blazes at the Louisburg Moose Lodge. And there were plenty of firefighters and other emergency responders around. But rather than douse the flames, they put chicken and pork on top, simmering them to perfection. The result was the first United Way Siren Cook-off Contest, an event coordinated by Jeremy Neal that, at once, pitted the county’s emergency responders against each other and brought a community together.  KITCHEN VOLUNTEERS Bunn Rescue Department won first place in BBQ pork, placed second in BBQ Chicken and Sauce.
