News Around Lockhart: Sewer work to continue for another week
I want to start out with thanking my customers for being cooperative and having patience this last week with my parking situation at my shop. I will ask you to work with me one more week. The workers are not completely done, and still have the road to clean up at my house and shop. You may park in my shop yard, back alley, or just down from my driveway. They will be working on my driveway sometime this week. For those of you that did not se...

Who, What, When & Where Of Whitmire: The rain and flooding, upcoming events, and congratulations
Hello everyone, hope your Mother’s Day Celebration was a happy occasion. At least this year, due to all of the rain, we had spring flowers to share with moms, grandmoms, aunties. Of course, the rains caused some minor river flooding in The Mire. The Enoree and Tyger were both swollen out of their banks. Whitmirians’ favorite scenic drive through and wading spot, The Little North Carolina Road-Duncan Creek with its streaming creek over the r...

Voice Of Victory: Evangelize or fossilize
Some things in life are a must. You must drink a certain amount of water to hydrate your body. You have to eat a certain amount of food to give you energy. Our bodies must have oxygen to breath. I personally feel like if you don’t have at least three good cups of coffee every morning you cannot make it. But seriously, there are some things that pertain to life that are simply required. This holds true in regards to the local church. There a...

A good turnout, rain, and most trusted
There was a really good turnout last Saturday at Wesley Chapel for the benefit for Sue Mitchell Mellon. The preacher was so excited about judging the “Bold and Beautiful” pageant, that she almost missed her hair appointment. Who wouldn’t want to see John Bobo made up as a gorgeous woman?! If you don’t know her, then I’ve got to tell you, she is really a good sport. She’ll probably never live down her trip to the beach, while riding bikes ...

An accurate description of mothers
Sunday Is Mother’s Day For me, this is one of my favorite times of the year. My mother is now at home in heaven waiting for my return. She meant the world to me; teaching me and guiding my life. Oftentimes I wonder how to describe a “Mother.” I think that Howard Johnson described our mothers so well when he wrote in 1915: M - O - T - H - E - R “M” is for the million things she gave me, “O” means only that she’s growing old, “T” is fo...

Getting weary on the mountaintop
Awhile back my wife and I did something we had never done before. We climbed Chimney Rock! We actually didn’t plan on climbing as much as we did but what an accomplishment for a couple of inexperienced hikers. As you can imagine we experienced fatigue shortly after we started but we kept going until we reached the Hickory Nut Waterfall. As we looked at the beauty of the falls, we were very weary and not looking forward to the hike back. I...

Buffalo News For You: Jesse’s story, a robot, and camping hints
Did You Know Jesse? Jesse was a chicken plucker. That’s right. He stood on a line in a chicken factory and spent his days pulling the feathers off dead chickens so the rest of us wouldn’t have to. It wasn’t much of a job. But at the time, Jesse didn’t think he was much of a person. His father was a brute of a man. His dad was actually thought to be mentally ill and treated Jesse rough all of his life. Jesse’s older brother wasn’t much be...

Parents critical to safe driving by teens
Prom and graduation season, the Fourth of July, and summer vacation give pause to parents of teenagers everywhere. Why? Because celebration paired with newfound freedom can trigger tragedy on our roads and highways. Indeed, young people themselves report that these times of year are the most dangerous when it comes to driving. And alcohol and other drugs are primary reasons. According to new research from SADD (Students Against Destructiv...

Voice of Victory: You will receive what you give
There are a lot of principles found in God’s word. We can find how to live, how to love, how to treat others, how to share, and so forth. You can also find a lot of “Not to do’s” as well. There is one concept that I have seen time and time again come to pass in everyone’s life. This is the notion of sowing and reaping. There are people who think they can go through life without any thought of consequences to their actions but when the chick...
