Serving the Community: Lumberton Masonic Lodge 696

-
Over the weekend, there was an induction ceremony (not sure if that's the proper name) for the Lumberton Masonic Lodge 696 at the Lumberton Family Life Center. Normally, I would have attended the event but I was out of town for the Parker Family Reunion. Thanks to technology, I was able to get some information about the ceremony. Based on the comments, it seems that this group was newly reorganized and several new members were inducted. Unfortunately, I don't know all their names. As a part of the ceremony, the members of the Lumberton Masonic Lodge 696 gave a $500 donation to Mrs. Vivian Lundy to help with the daily expenses of The Kingdom Kids Foundation. In Lumberton, political issues and a crumbling infrastructure are usually the main topics of discussion but there are some caring people doing wonderful things in Lumberton; we just have to look a little harder to find them. Kudos to tne Lumberton Masonic Lodge 696!

    Brother Martin Mixon, WM Lodge 696 has worked tirelessly to reorganize the lodge. He deserves much respect and admiration for his dedication to the craft.

    How is this a Lumberton lodge without any members from Lumberton? Who's running this group? They gave Vivian Lundy a donation. I thought she was paid to keep those kids? So now it's a non profit group she's profiting from. I don't understand. I also see they made a donation today in Poplarville. I guess you're getting overlooked again Mr. Informer. Why do you keep giving of your time and you never get any support. It's time for you to realize that these people don't want to be informed they want to be entertained.

FY Budget 2015: Pills and Potions

-

I called this post the pills and potions edition because after looking at the budget that was presented; it's obvious this board is overdosing on something. I can't tell where any real cuts were made to the budget; it seems the same. The fact that the board paid Richard Rose $1, 600 to prepare this budget is a joke. Why do we have a city clerk if she cannot prepare a budget? What is she doing all day other than reading the Lumberton Informer or thinking of her next lie? The board claimed that Richard Rose was doing this out of the goodness of his heart, that he knew the City of Lumberton was not in a position to pay him. So, rather than charging the normal going rate for an embattled city manager that was allegedly terminated for not reporting to work and other matters; Rose decided he will charge the fiscally challenged City of Lumberton a mere $1,600 and a motorcycle. Now, keep in mind, the board never voted to hire Richard Rose but somehow, he received a check and a moto

Stealing Elections: Lumberton Style

Last night when I went to the Ben Barrett Voting Center to watch the counting of the vote, I entered the building about 10 minutes before the polls closed and the picture above is what I saw. Throughout the day, many people expressed their concerns that the poll workers didn't match the demographics of the City of Lumberton. I shrugged it off after someone texted me, assuring me that the election was going to be fair. Well, that was not the case. Later in the day, a voter came to me with evidence that the votes had been compromised. They gave me two torn affidavit ballots that were torn up and thrown in the trash in the women's restroom at the voting center. Interesting. There was another person that came to me about the conversation they overheard between Cora Rogers and her mother, Voncile Richardson. It seems that Ms. Voncile wanted to cast a vote for me but her daughter, Cora Rogers, instructed her to mark the ballot for Kent Crider. Interesting. Last

Kim Rogers: A Phenomenal Woman

I've always said that I don't offer balance throughout this blog. It seems that most of the focus is placed on the bad things or more gossipy topics, but I think today is a good day to give credit where credit is due. I know she don't do what she do for attention or accolades but I would like to tip my hat to Mrs. Kim Rogers, founder of the KeKe B Foundation. Kim, like many other women of our community, is a testament to the power of hop, courage and resilience of a loving mother. I don't know how she does it but she has chosen to take a stand when others would have buckled under pressure. Her dedication and courage has touched so many people in so many ways. The work she's doing through the KeKe B Foundation will be a beacon for many generations to come and the she many never realize the impact her courage has made in the lives of others. But despite it all, she is still pressing forward. Kim does not want another parent to experience what she had to experience
