This
is how I started last week’s column. “Please remember that I send in my column
on Mondays and the papers are not published until the middle of the week. I wonder what the weather will be like this
week. I hope all is well with us and for us.” I am amazed at the fact so many
stayed home like it was so strongly recommended. I am thrilled I only lost power for a couple
of hours. I know many were without
longer. It makes you appreciate the
simple things that you can do with electricity.
As a friend stated, “I think the most important invention was and is
electricity.”
Snow,
ice, freezing rain AND THEN we had an earthquake!!!! This week it is to be in the 60s. Welcome to almost spring. WE all have so
many to thank for their diligent work to help us all. The linemen, the utility workers, the
scrapers, the sanders, the ones who went out to checked on and helped their
neighbors, the highway department, the police, the highway patrol and many
more. THANK YOU!!!!
The
Ridge Spring Monetta High School Reunion Committee met last Saturday at
Juniper. 19 attended and we are so ready
to get the word out. If you attended RSM
from the years 56-58 please contact me at 685.7970. The reunion will be May 24th at the
Civic Center. You must get tickets
before that night for no money will be collected at the door.
If you visit facebook, check out Juniper Restaurant in Ridge Spring. They have a link to a TV show that Brandon
was on. He cooked or should I say prepared a wonderful meal for all to
see. I learned a different way to fix
kale that I have growing at the shop. He was great and the TV host got Ridge
Spring right, not Ridge Springs. Good
Job, Brandon at Juniper Restaurant in Ridge Spring, SC!!!
Yon Family Farm had their Bull Auction Saturday. Despite the bad weather at the beginning of
the week, it was a success. It warmed up
enough to make the roads passable for all.
Congratulations to all. Follow
them on facebook and their web site, too.

Cumbee
Place
Where
Dreams Come Alive
Cumbee Place will be a place
where people can come to discover the possibilities for their future. I
understand that this is a broad statement but the more I talk with people the
more I research, and as this project unfolds, I am discovering the impact it is
capable of. Cumbee Place can be the
beginning of a unified effort to bring stability to this region of South
Carolina. This development Center will
be a place of learning and discovery for people of all ages. It will be a place where small businesses can
work together to achieve their individual goals. By creating this unified effort we will be
able to strengthen our communities and put programs together that will build
and encourage people to invest their time and effort in our area therefore
creating a self sustaining environment for everyone to come and enjoy. Our idea for this area is to develop a
destination region for people to come and relax and enjoy a life style that can
only be found in rural towns. Cumbee Place will be a stepping stone
toward achieving this goal.
By putting a development Center in a rural area we achieve several things:
By putting a development Center in a rural area we achieve several things:
- It encourages people to come and open a business.
- It opens the doors for people in the community to open
businesses
- It creates a new type of learning environment for the
youth.
- It creates an environment for progression and growth
which will encourage people to come, and settle down here.
- It brings people together to create a unified effort for
growth
These things could not
be created by a development center located somewhere else these things can only
be created by a development center in the area it wishes to change and grow. Visit at facebook: Cumbee Place Ridge Spring.
