ANSON — Hidden yellowjacket nests can become a real nuisance in the landscape this time of year, particularly when it comes to mowing or cleaning the garden. Appearance-wise, these wasps are often confused with honey bees, however yellowjackets are more slender, boldly colored, and less hairy. Honey bees are only capable of stinging once, while yellowjackets will chase trespassers and sting repeatedly.
Burnsville Emergency Pantry Volunteers take time to wish our very own Nathan Sikes a special Happy Birthday. Nathan has contributed many volunteer hours at BRLC. His volunteer hours with the afterschool program was most valuable to the students as well as the parents and director and staff. His services are greatly missed at BRLC. His time of volunteering in the Emergency Pantry, Filing Clerk, and graphic and arts designer for BRLC and so much more was a great contribution to this community and county. He is missed greatly during the time that he is not able to volunteer. His kind soft spoken voice and tremendous attitude of caring has made a great impact in the Burnsville Community. This group had to stop and say Happy Birthday to this special young man. He still helps but does not have the time to volunteer as he once did due to other obligations.

Back in the fifties, when I was just a lad, my family lived on Highway 74 west of Rockingham. Back then 74 was just a winding two lane road with a lot of hills to go over before you reached the Pee Dee River. The river was just a few miles down the road from where I lived. On each side of the river bridge there were two stores, one in Richmond Co. and the other in Anson Co. Both stores sold all types of merchandise and goods. Also, each store sold all types of fish that were caught in the nearby river; such as shad, mullet and catfish.
