It's Friday, which means my e-mail box is flowing with all the stuff that government types forgot to send out earlier in the week. From that pile we learn:

Gov. Mike Easley has appointed:

• Christine Joyner Greene of High Point to the N.C. Board of Licensed Professional Counselors. Greene is a private licensed professional counselor in High Point.

• Jack Cipriani of Summerfield to the N.C. Employment Security Commission. He is also vice president of the National American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations and the N.C. American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations. Cipriani attended New York City Community College.

• James Keith McCollum of Rockingham to the N.C. Forestry Council. McCollum is a forester and procurement manager for Edwards Wood Products. He is a charter member of the National Wild Turkey Federation, a member of the Society of American Foresters, the Council on Forestry Engineering and the safety, logging and transportation committee of the N.C. Forestry Association.

And if that wasn't news enough, we learn that Rep. Pricey Harrison recently sponsored the folks as pages for the House:

• Jill Russell, a student at Western Guilford High School. She is the daughter of Jim and Julie Russell of Greensboro.

• Samuel Heroy, a student at Northwest Guilford High School. He is the son of William and Anna Heroy of Summerfield.

• Jill Russell, a student at Western Guilford High School. She is the daughter of Jim and Julie Russell of Greensboro.

  According to the blurb that comes with those page announcements, "For decades, the State House has relied on the service of pages, who help deliver bills and amendments for Representatives during daily House sessions and committee meetings, offer assistance in individual Representatives’ offices, and run errands around the Legislature. Pages spend a week at the General Assembly assisting members and their staff and learning about the structure of North Carolina government."
