A BIG THANK YOU: Only in a
small town would the work of a farmer change so quickly. A lady with
children made a wrong turn and mistook the train track as the road, on which
she got stuck on the tracks. A farmer working nearby happened to see the
accident and got all the people out. He quickly notified the railroad
company about the location of the car stuck on the tracks in Ridge
Spring. He then quickly got a tractor and a chain, with which he
pulled the car off the tracks. Everyone was safe and the car also was
saved. The people went on their way and the farmer went back to
work. No one knew about it, no press was called, no police was called,
and no pictures of the rescue were on facebook. The farmer did what
needed to be done and then went about his day
The State Newspaper listed
things for the students to do around Columbia.
The Big Mo made the list.

Archie Fripp in Williamsburg,
Virginia: I made a peach cobbler for lunch today. The peaches were extra
good so I looked at the box for their origin and would you guess: Titan
Farms, Ridge Spring. Remember that Town Hall is now open on Wednesday afternoons for your convenience.

One week of school is in the
books, and we’re all exhausted! For me,
it feels great to be home on the Ridge all day, getting to know ALL of the
students once again. I love my colleagues
and my students, and I love being less than 5 feet away from Mrs. Bedenbaugh! This will be a different kind of year for me
with a different set of challenges and hurdles, but I am so grateful to be at
RSM High all day, contributing to the education of our youth and spreading as
much sunshine as I can. There’s enough
gray and sadness in the world, don’t you agree?
When possible, lift someone up!
And when I’m blue, please give me a boost as well!
RSM High:
The fierce lightening and rain last Friday caused the game at Batesburg
to be postponed until Sat at 11. Instead
of being rain-soaked, the crowd was sweat-soaked, but they were out in force to
pull for the Trojans. They guys came up
short in their first game of the season, but there is promise for better things
to come!
Review from David
Marshall James:
"The
Second Life of Nick Mason" by Steve Hamilton
Nick Mason's doing 25 in a federal pen--
involved and at-the-scene when a DEA agent bites the bullet on the Chicago
docks.
Nick's got 20 to go when a
get-out-of-jail-free card lands in his lap, courtesy of Darius Cole, the highly
organized-- yet incarcerated-- mobster who's currently running Chicago.
You can only do so much from the inside
before someone on the outside wants to take your place. Darius pulls some
strings to put Nick on the outside, in order to bring down those wannabes who
are attempting to depose Old King Cole.
IOW: That Monopoly jail card ain't so
free.
But: Nick's out. He can attempt
contact with his nine-year-old daughter and his ex-wife. He can look up
old friends. Bump into old enemies.
Cole has supplied him with luxe lodgings, in
a park-side townhouse near Lake Michigan. It's a Jeffersonian (as in
George and Weezy) leap from the neighborhood of packed-in row houses in which
Nick spent his pre-pen life.
Lest author Steve Hamilton overstate the
machinations of gangsters and gangbangers, there's a flip-side story on how the
police are reacting to the re-emergence of Nick Mason, crusader for Old King
Cole.
Hamilton is used to taking the cop's
perspective in his excellent Alex McKnight series. His Edgar
Award-winning, stand-alone thriller "The Lock Artist" is more akin to
his latest novel, the first in a new series.
As ever, Hamilton's writing is lean and
to-the-point, feverishly paced. "The Second Life of Nick Mason"
seems like a perfect fit for a TV series. Do Lord, deliver us from
zombies.
