Here are the top stories the R&L staff is working on today:
- Locals flock to Signal Hill Mall for shot at stardom: Staff writer Heather Gach is among those who have dreams of appearing on the big screen with George Clooney and Renee Zellweger in the movie "Leatherheads," which will be filmed in Statesville this spring. Anyone interested in landing a spot as an extra can stop by the mall from 4 to 8 p.m. today. Take a photo with you. Many people of all types and ages are needed, including professional shoeshine men and people with dance training or familiarity with 1920s dance moves. (For more information or to contribute to this column, contact Heather at hgach@statesville.com)
- Commissioner tries his hand at goat farming: When he's not working as an engineer or helping plan for Iredell County's future, Commissioner Ken Robertson finds time to raise goats. We have the video to prove it and will post it on our Web site. (For more on this story or to contribute, contact staff writer Daniel Goldberg at dgoldberg@statesville.com.)
COMING SOON
On Friday afternoon, staff writer Jim Munoz-McNally will make his Webcast debut when we launch our daily feature, 5@5. Each afternoon, Jim will ask topical, interesting and irreverent questions of Iredell newsmakers, people you know and people you wish you knew. This short video will include an update on the stories we're working on for the next day's print edition. 5@5 will be available for viewing at 5 p.m. each day. Pick up a copy of the print edition each morning to find out who will be on the hot seat.
If you know someone who would make a great guest or if you have a news tip or story idea, please contact me at mfuhrman@statesville.com.

If I make it as an extra will the R&L do a story on me?
We will write numerous stories on the movie production and will certainly try to capture the experience of local people participating in the play. Let me know if you get selected.
