Bladen County Committee of 100 held their annual meeting Thursday night. Well attended. Representatives of Four County EMC were recognized for their support of economic development in the county. The company has been very supportive over the years. Speaker was Raleigh attorney Ernie Pearson. Actually spent considerable time with him throughout the day touring Bladen County, primarily Elizabethtown and Bladenboro. Always interesting to listen to someone who has worked at the state level and with local communities and is willing to share thoughts and new ideas.

Wanted to share an address for Southeastern Carolina Crossroads, an alcohol and drug re-hab effort in the county. It’s 1086 Susie Sand Hill Road, Elizabethtown, N.C., 28337. Rev. Kinsey Barrow is Director in addition to his duties as pastor at Whites Creek Baptist Church. It is a faith-based organization that operates on donations, 100%.

Bladen County native Stanly Sasser was reportedly involved in a deadly accident in Chadbourn on Thursday afternoon. One occupant of an auto died, two others including a young child suffered serious injuries. Early reports indicate Sasser was operating an 18-wheeler (gas truck) that was struck by the auto that failed to stop at an intersection. Sasser reportedly suffered non-life threatening injuries. News sources indicated the auto caught fire.

Don’t normally get that involved in accident info, but thought it would be OK to share. … Driving on our roadways is serious business.

Can you believe we are closing in on the half-way point of 2019.

Still need rain.
