Here are the top three stories today in Mooresville:

1. It has been announced that Zane Smith will be filling in to drive No. 51 this weekend in place of suspended Cody Ware. According to ESPN, "NASCAR suspended Ware indefinitely on Monday after he was arrested on charges of assault on a female and assault by strangulation inflicting serious injury."(ESPN)
2. Tax day is just around the corner. It doesn’t have to be scary! Take advantage of the 2023 tax day deals being offered. Check out the list of deals and freebies offered here. (kiss951.com)
3. If you've been wanting to add a fuzzy ball of love and affection to your family, look no further than these shelters in the Mooresville area for a pet you can take home. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home throughout North Carolina — and many of them are located not too far from you. On a search for an adorable new fur child? Consider looking around at a local shelter like Piedmont Animal Rescue, where Fred the dog is waiting patiently. Click on any listing for more information about a pet or to start the adoption process. (Mooresville Patch)

From my notebook:

• Mooresville Police Department: "The consequences of sexual assault go beyond physical (bruising and injuries) and psychological (depression, anxiety) – they can impact a survivor’s employment, ability to maintain relationships, and ability to return to school or work." (Mooresville Police Department via Facebook)
• Mooresville Public Library: "The week of April 24th-29th, the Friends will hold their annual Children's Book Swap. This is a great opportunity for parents to build their children's home libraries by "trading up." (Mooresville Public Library via Facebook)
• Mooresville Public Library: "Adults are invited to join us for Great Decisions on April 17 and May 1 at 6 p.m. at our Main Library. Great Decisions is the largest nonpartisan public education program on international affairs in the world." (Mooresville Public Library via Facebook)
