Congratulations to Cade Hancock, Elizabethtown golfer had a good day yesterday in the 29th Charles Tilghman Jr. Championship Tournament in Myrtle Beach, SC. After one round of play he is one stroke off the lead. He was one of 3 that shot a 73 at the Surf Club & Beach Club, Grande Dunes Member Club. The tournament is for youngsters ages 13-18. The leader is Garrett Clark of Burlington.
Weather forecast for Bladen today is anything but ideal for golfing, or any other outdoor activities. Rain is in the forecast all day long with northeast wind around 18 mph. 100% chance of rain with new precipitation amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible. Tonight not much better. A good day to watch sports or a movie or take a nap, or all of the above.
Could almost hear a sigh of relief when Robeson County officials, with state and federal assistance, announced an arrest had been made in the death of 13 year old Hania Aguilar. Doesn’t bring her back, but good the accused killer is off the streets. Her funeral was held yesterday.
A reminder, the BladenOnline team is upgrading the website. The nearly 11 year old publication will be better than ever, providing constant local news coverage, 24-7-365. Local news for local folks by local folks. And, our subscription remains the same, $0.00.
Quoting one source, “during the past decade, the fortunes of the traditional newspaper industry changed dramatically. In 2007, newspapers boasted revenues of approximately 55.6 billion dollars (combined advertising and circulation revenues) and a work force of 68,160. Two year later, well over one hundred titles had closed, revenues plummeted by almost twenty billion dollars and the workforce fell to 56,230.”
There is no cookie-cutter coverage model for success in local journalism. It’s all about local coverage of local events for local folks by local entrepreneurs, like BladenOnline.com.
Success is a journey not a destination.
You just can’t beat the person who never gives up. Babe Ruth
Success is the sum efforts of small efforts repeated day-in and day-out.
