Local Gold Wing Road Riders Keith Lindgren, Doug Gillam and Trish Adams provided motorcycle safety tips in Joshua Worrell’s health and physical education classes at King’s Fork High School. Some 72,000 Gold Wing Road Riders are part of an international social organization of Honda Gold Wing/Valkyrie owners and enthusiasts dedicated to friends, safety and knowledge. Sharing firsthand experiences in rural and urban riding is a great way to make the road a bit safer for all. I never was able to make the move from a neighborhood bicycle to motorcycle. While they seemingly are similar, there is a much different feel for the road, and I have a very healthy appreciation of the hazards. I’m glad the Gold Wingers help reinforce caution and safety.                                                   

The next time Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark, Gale Hawthorne and Greasy Sae are seen onscreen in “The Hunger Games,” they will have a new landlord — and it could be you.

The Henry River Mill Village in Hildebran, N.C. (outside of Charlotte), which served as District 12 in the post-apocalyptic nation Panem in the big-screen adaptation of the book, is up for sale.

The 72-acre abandoned mill town, home of fictional spots like the Hob and the area known as the Seam, is valued at more than $1.2 million. It will be sold via sealed bids through the auction house Profiles in History , with a bidding deadline of July 31. The piece of “Hunger Games” history is also the subject of an upcoming episode of “ Hollywood Treasure ,” the SyFy series that follows Profiles in History owner Joe Maddalena as he seeks out gems in the annals of pop culture and Hollywood. The show has unearthed genre items like a full-scale model T-800 Endoskeleton from “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” (sold for $488,750) and Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber from “Star Wars” ($240,000). The episode is set to air June 5 at 10 p.m. PDT.
