Here are a couple of stories to look for in Sunday's print edition of the R&L:

- Walking for babies: Hundreds of people turned out for the annual March of Dimes WalkAmerica on Saturday. The event began at Mitchell Community College. (To contribute to this story, e-mail staff writer Chyna Broadnax at cbroadnax@statesville.com.)

- Commissioners review DANA plan: Iredell County commissioners will listen to Iredell-Statesville Schools Superintendent Terry Holliday's big sales pitch Monday at 6 p.m. I-SS wants the commission to earmark $54 million for the purchase and renovation of the DANA plant. I-SS would turn the manufacturing plant into an educational complex housing central offices, an elementary school and magnet high school. You can let us know what you think of this plan by e-mailing me at mfuhrman@statesville.com.

Thanks for reading,
