You know we like sharing heroes and Good Samaritan’s each week. There are almost too many to mention in this week.
From the state and city crews who are still working to keep the roads safe to the ever-patient telecommunications folks in the county 911 center, all our first responders and frontline workers deserve a round of applause and a cup of hot chocolate. Some of those men and ladies were out in single digit wind chills making sure emergency calls were answered, and roads were safe for those going to help others. We can’t thank you enough.
Add to that the others who stepped up where needed.
David Vernon Watts volunteered to make deliveries for the elderly in Tabor City. The ever cheerful Laura Elizabethtown Norton went above and beyond with customer service in Hallsboro.
A Good Samaritan who didn’t want his name mentioned has been reaching out to local homeless and other folks in need to make sure they were warm and fed, and to be sure they could get to the warming station at Facts of Life Church here in Whiteville.
Retiring Lake Waccamaw Police Chief Scott Hyatt got to introduce some area kids to what passes for sledding in our area, thanks to the new embankments on U.S. 74.
Keisha Crawmer showed that even wild things need a hand sometimes. She spotted an injured possum at Honey Hill and Sam Potts Highway Tuesday while the snow was falling, and got the grumpy critter to a licensed rehabilitator.
