Wonder how long the pandemic will continue in our area? Better, but still troublesome…
I remember years and years ago … some family members worked at Bladenboro Cotton Mill … one of the few industries in the area … Provided financial security for years for many … From time to time would hear some talk about speeding up the process … to produce more … No doubt some of that continues today … even with some professionals … Producing more, at the same cost … produces morale problems from time to time … Can’t do but so much!
Friend shared info from a member of the N.C. Legislature … a list of ‘goodies’ in the state budget for local projects…
• Funds for repairs and renovations at the Bladen County Sheriff’s Office training facility.
• $1.5 million for the North Carolina FFA Center at White Lake, in operation since 1928.
• More than $15 million for capital needs at area community colleges.
All such funds are welcomed…
Picked up a few leaves recently … burned them … Best I can tell, 2 more for every one cleaned up … Not complaining … not likely to change till all fall from the tree.
Speaking of leaves … some beautiful trees, colorful trees in many areas of Bladen County…
