Tell Me Something Good

-

It's been said that you don't know what you got until it's gone. But I believe that you don't know what you've been missing until it shows up. I've been asked by several readers that I need to focus on the good in Lumberton, and I have been hard pressed to find some good to blog about. But at last, I found a nugget and it was sitting right under my nose. Have any of you visited Bass Pecan Company lately? This store is one of Lumberton's best kept secrets and it's time to spread the word. I visited the store the other day to buy a book on entertaining and I was surprised that it had been signed by the author. As I looked around the store, I was amazed by the array of gifts and food items. They have candles, jewelry, silver tea sets, books, fresh and frozen vegetables, ice cream, pies, cobblers, a variety of canisters, aprons, kitchen items and of course, pecans. They have a large variety of regular and flavored pecans. My favorite is the key lime pie pecans. And they have some of the best coffee in the world. I'm not a coffee drinker, but the Amazing Grace coffee is, well, amazing. They serve it in the store and they have a variety of sizes available for purchase. I talked with the store manager, Deborah Gallagher, and she explained the different types of live trees that were available, and the various items they bring in at different times of the year. Bass Pecan is full of surprises and you owe it to yourself to pay them a visit. The offer an assortment of gift baskets and you can have baskets custom made and shipped. They also ship their pecans and candies. So, take another look and see what Bass Pecan Company has to offer. You can also vist them on the internet. Their website is www.basspecan.com or give them a call at 601-796-3630.

FY Budget 2015: Pills and Potions

-
Image
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...

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 ...

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 ...
