I know I heard the old adage ‘make lemonade with lemons’. That’s precisely what Robeson County’s 4-H program does.
Like many programs, we cannot meet face-to-face because of the pandemic. So let’s be informed to be more artistic and think outdoors with virtual programming. In other words, our members are still informed and laughing along the way.
Summer camp, virtually? In recent months, 4-H has presented the following fields, most of them loose, to all members of 4-H: Chief Jr.; Arts and crafts; Biotechnology; Cloverbud; Night camp; Congress; Citizenship; and Junior County Retreat. Several parents said their children enjoyed and enjoyed the camps, and that they agree with the 4-H virtual long-term schedule. The campers said they were learning new things and laughed “every day.” In addition, our 4-H teenagers had the opportunity to give workshops to our young people. This has given adolescents a sense of duty and fulfillment; allowed younger 4-H members to have someone to cherish and dream of the fact that they could one day lead a group. For Robeson County’s 4-H program, those are the same hits as usual, only delivered differently.
The school is back in session. If you’re looking to complement what your child learns at school with laughter and hands-on activities, download the 4-H app. Simply go to your app store and download 4-H Now!. It’s a loose discharge. When you open the app, search for Robeson County 4-H. From there, you can sign up for 4-H, sign up for systems and contests, and see what our amazing young people are doing. Almost everything we offer is loose for our other young youth.
I know that replacing is complicated for many people, probably most of us. We are so used to face-to-face interaction to the fullest in each and every facet of our lives, and now we speak mainly through some kind of technology. It’s not just about online education, however, many adults paint remotely and also have virtual meetings, meetings and online learning. 4-H will not only offer virtual programming to young people, but will also offer virtual education for volunteers, painting workshops and meetings to be offered to all volunteers.
Learning new tactics to do familiar things can be stressful. It is vital to keep other young people engaged, to offer hands-on activities, open discussions and interactive elements to keep them focused. Our purpose is to paint in combination effectively through partnership, execution with youth, parents, families and net paintings about this pandemic to ensure that young people in Robeson County can be as productive as possible.
Keep your children and yourself interacting with Robeson County’s 4-H program. The program offers the best combination of virtual activities for other young people and their families. Until we meet in person, we navigate new tactics to interact and be informed while we laugh virtually. Stay connected with 4-H by downloading the 4-H app, the 4-H blog on http://robeson4-h.blogspot.com/ or our online http://robeson.ces.ncsu.edu page. You can also find us on Facebook at NC Cooperative Extension, Robeson County Center. We’d love for you to help us preserve this sweet 4-H lemonade by joining the program.

PEMBROKE – Local staff will participate in a task to expand a dessert plant that is expected to be completed in 2021.
Steven Robert Originals Desserts LLC will invest $4.5 million in an allocation to integrate a new production line, build a new warehouse and acquire new appliances for its facilities at 701 S. Jones St. in Pembroke.
The launch of the expanded operation is scheduled for the end of February 2021, said Rebecca O’Hara, the company’s president.
“Regional contractors will employ 50 other people in various roles in the era of structure between now and March,” O’Hara said Thursday.
The expansion will create a hundred jobs in the county and raise the total number of jobs in the dessert production business to 400 in the city of Pembroke, said Steve Fabos, the company’s general manager.
The expansion allocation will allow the dessert company to better satisfy the desires of a chain of giant U.S. restaurants, whose call has been released.
In honor of the company’s 25th anniversary, Steven Robert Originals Desserts plans to retain a worker on September 24 at the Pembroke site, O’Hara said.
Founded in 1995, SROriginals, LLC, is a privately held company owned by Charles Kosmont and Fabos. The company is headquartered in Denver, Colorado.
LUMBERTON – A 60th resident of Robeson County died this week after contracting COVID-19, and the Robeson County Health Department has reported more than three hundred new cases.
The new death reported on Monday through the Ministry of Health. The death toll 59 last week. On Friday, 3,466 positive cases of the new coronavirus were reported, according to the Ministry of Health. There were 341 reported cases from August 20 to Friday.
According to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, there is no active outbreak of viruses at any housing facility in the network. Red Springs Living Assisted was removed from the department’s list this week.
The University of North Carolina announced that a group of viruses had been discovered on campus on Monday. The construction of the Cypress Hall apartment is known as assembly, the NCDHHS group definition of five or more cases with initial onset of disease or positive effects within a 14-day era that are likely to be similar to each other.
The university announced Friday that 75 academics, 3 workers and 3 subcontractors had active instances of COVID-19. On Wednesday, 61 schoolchildren and three workers were active. On 20 August, the active bodies included 53 academics and two UNCP workers.
More than 700 were held on a driving occasion organized Wednesday through the county’s fitness department.
Department of Health Director Bill Smith said many public school systems in North Carolina use positive percentage rates to determine whether K-12 schools can return to face-to-face learning, but that rate can be misleading.
“But this is confusing because most of the negative effects are not shared locally, but at the state level, so the denominator is not known,” Smith said. “Other people are also given a positive check several times looking for a negative check so they can get back to work.
“A specific population, such as a prison that has one-third of its inmates test positive, skews the total population’s figures. Generally, the drive-through testing that the Health Department and the Lumbee Tribe did had a positivity rate of about 4%, which reflects the population as a whole although the test sites were in areas noted to have generally higher rates than other areas.”
Southeastern Regional Medical Center reported Friday that 14 patients were isolated after positive for COVID-19 and that 15 workers were quarantined.
This week, the NCDHHS reported an increase in the number of cases reported daily throughout the state, leading to a total of 162,491 reported cases of the pandemic, of which 2,652 resulted in death.

LUMBERTON – The new terminal at Lumberton Regional Airport is two to three weeks after its completion, for the airport manager.
And one component of what makes this imaginable is the solution to a structure contract amendment dispute, Snuck said.
The replacement order filed through Snuck at the August 17 assembly of the Robeson County Board of Commissioners. The request for $12,295.08 to pay the terminal contractor for the 21 more days of paints caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The commissioners did not respond to the request.
Snuck said how the challenge had been solved.
In April, Bob Snuck said the airport terminal was about to be completed until mid-June, however, COVID-19 and weather-related delays led to adjustments to a building’s plan that will “make aviation statewide.” “Construction began in April 2019.
“I can’t wait for it to be done, ” said Snuck. “It’s been a workload, but it’ll be great to finish soon.”
The remaining paints for the construction of $3.7 million include flooring, moldings and plumbing. A Simcon Company team working Friday on sinks and bathroom accessories.
A generator was recently installed and the car park will be paved in the coming weeks, or the projects will be financed by grants, Snuck said. The generator is an electrical power backup and will be a major asset in emergency situations.
The 8,000-square-foot terminal will be twice the length of the demolished terminal and provide larger sanitary facilities, offices and convention spaces, Snuck said.
Conferences and spaces will gain benefits from economic expansion in Robeson County by allowing business representatives wishing to move or expand to Robeson County to fly to a more modern airport. The economic progression of Robeson County will have s in the terminal, allowing corporate representatives to walk from their plane or helicopter to a meeting.
“We are very happy to move,” said Channing Jones, the county’s director of economic development. “It will be a position where domestic and foreign consumers can enter a new construction and leave a first impression.
“We are very happy to have it as an asset to provide new ones and as a position to use the existing one”
The terminal “is coming” and the end of a five-year procedure is in sight, he said.
“It’s a very fashionable building and will have the ability to host high-level presentations in your convention room,” Jones said.
While traffic at the airport has easily subsided due to the pandemic, the new terminal will have an aerial attraction, Snuck said.
“Other drivers stopped and left and were very impressed,” Snuck said.
A 24-hour pilot living room with giant black leather reclining chairs and a giant rest room and shower will be part of the terminal’s amenities.
“A pilot who asked for a fuel prevention told me that his wife didn’t like to prevent here because he didn’t like the bathroom,” Snuck said. “I told them about the new amenities and they were delighted. They fly a lot along the east coast.
The airport has two runways, one 5,500 feet long and one 5,000 feet long. There are 35 plane hangers on the airport property.
Two long-term projects come with a fuel farm and a taxiway that will run along the airport’s longest runway.
The oil farm allocation charges $1.1 million, but the airport won a $112,500 grant from the State Department of Transportation’s Aviation Division to fund the engineering studio, Snuck said. The original fuel park built more than 40 years ago.
The fuel farm would consist of two 12,000-gallon tanks, one to contain aircraft fuel and the other for aviation gasoline.
The new lane will be paid for with subsidies, Snuck said.

ORRUM – A must-see in this small town that has reopened after being closed for more than a year.
Orrum Grocery and Grill, at 1515 S. Creek Road, opened on Monday and once returned to provide gas and food to the city’s citizens. The convenience store, formerly known as the Orrum General Store, now has a new look and owner as well as a new name.
The store closed shortly after the death in 2016 of former owner Robert Wilkes. And his new co-owner, Abraham Obaid, seeks to restore the city’s collector’s position to its former glory.
Obaid and other business partners operate approximately 10 retail outlets in Lumberton, Fayetteville, Shannon, Red Springs and Elizabethtown. Obaid said he and his brother Adam were passionate about researching and serving older convenience retailers that involve “a lot of history and pride.”
“I like to go to retail stores in the country like that,” Obaid said.
A first opening rite will be held at a later date, once the fitness inspection has been carried out and the store will be able to open its grill, he said. Free food samples will be held at this event.
The store, which will employ five people, will start promoting hot dogs, burgers, pizzas, chips and other classic meals in the coming weeks, he said.
And the rest of the people in town are in a position to have the staff take care of the grill.
“The chain wants the store and we’ve missed it since it closed,” Mayor Wilton Caulder said.
He remembers attending the Orrum General Store store each and every day for his lunches and plans to model the new store’s food, Caulder said.
Many city citizens stopped to ask questions about the store’s opening during the following month, said Tabatha Chavis, who works at fuel station 76 near Lumberton High School, which passes through Obaid.
Chavis worked at the Orrum Registry on Thursday morning as citizens stopped to buy food and gasoline.
“I’m glad to see you open, man. There are many other people who are happy to see it open,” said Gene Walters, an Orrum resident.
Gasoline costs are moderate for Lumberton fuel stations, he said.
“Now it’s more like Orrum, reopening the store, ” said Jeanette Walters, Gene’s wife.
Lumberton resident Jocelyn Perry prevented me from passing through the fuel station to move to street paints at Community Innovation. He would prevent at the old store for lunch, instead of moving to Fairmont or Lumberton during his lunch hour, Perry said.
Perry said the store was “more convenient” and said he would soon be out for lunch.
“It’s going to be good, ” said Chavis.
He’s been hiring lately. You can contact him at his new number, 910-628-8573.

LAC CHARLES, Louisiana – One of the most powerful hurricanes the United States has ever hit, Laura crossed Louisiana on Thursday, cutting roofs, killing at least six other people and maintaining fierce strength while opening a destructive trail of many miles inland.
A full assessment of the damage caused through the category four formula would likely take days. But despite a trail of demolished buildings, entire neighborhoods left in ruins and more than 875,000 people without electricity, a sense of relief prevailed that Laura did not run the annihilating risk that meteorologists feared.
“It is transparent that we have not suffered or suffered the absolute and catastrophic damage that we think is likely,” said Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards. “But we’ve been in great harm.”
He called Laura the most powerful hurricane to strike Louisiana, meaning it surpassed even Katrina, which was a Category 3 storm when it hit in 2005.
The maximum hurricane wind speed of 241 km/h (150 mph) ranks it among the toughest systems ever recorded in the United States. remained a tropical storm.
The typhoon hit the Louisiana lowlands and affected Lake Charles, a commercial city and casino for 80,000 people. On Broad Street, many buildings had partially collapsed, and those that had not needed parts. The windows flew, the awnings ripped off and the trees split in two in a strangely distorted way. Police saw a floating casino loose and hit a bridge. At the local airport, the planes overturned, some more sensitive than others.
In front of the courthouse, a Confederate statue that the local government had voted for to hold in place a few days earlier. After Laura, she knocked down.
“There are houses that have completely disappeared. They were here yesterday, but now they’re gone,” he said.
Shortly after dawn gave the first glimpse of destruction, a huge column of visual smoke for miles began to rise from a chemical plant. Police said the leak at a facility passes through Biolab, which manufactures chemicals used in family cleaners such as Comet bleach scrub and pool chlorine powder.
Local citizens were told to close their doors and windows and turn off air conditioners. State and federal aircraft headed to the skies of the coast to look for symptoms of additional commercial damage.
The deaths included a 14-year-old woguy and a 68-year-old boy who died when the trees fell in their homes in Louisiana, as well as a 24-year-old boy who died of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by an internal generator. your house. Another man drowned in a boat that sank the storm, the government said.
There have been no deaths in Texas, which Republican Gov. Greg Abbott said would amount to “a miracle.” Chevellce Dunn herself was one of the luckiest after spending a night huddled on a couch with her son, daughter and four nieces and nephews as the winds shook their home in Orange, Texas. Without electrical power in the midst of sweltering heat, I did not know when the electrical power might be restored.
“Possibly it wouldn’t be easy. As long as my kids are fine, I’m fine,” Dunn said.
President Donald Trump makes plans to make plans to stop the Gulf Coast this weekend to take a look at the damage.
More than 580,000 coastal citizens have been evacuated under the shadow of a coronavirus pandemic and are calling for masks and social estrangement to combat its spread. It is the largest evacuation order since the start of the pandemic and many others followed it, filling hotels and sleeping in cars. Although not all fled the coast, officials attributed those who left for minimizing the loss of life.
Meteorologists had warned that the typhoon’s 15-20 foot tidal wavet would be “unsurpassed” and could grow 40 miles inland. Edwards said the typhoon’s tidal wave ended up being measured at a diversity of nine feet to 12 feet, still bad, but far from the worst prognosis. I hoped broken houses could be temporarily habitable.
Priority, Edwards said, searching and rescuing, followed efforts to locate hotel or motel rooms for those who could not stay at home. Officials in Texas and Louisiana sought to avoid classic mass shelters for evacuees for fear of coVID-19 spread, and Edwards was concerned that the typhoon would save him coronavirus tests as schools and universities reopen.
Bucky Millet, 78, of Lake Arthur, Louisiana, thought of still evacuating to weather the typhoon with his circle of relatives due to considerations of coronavirus. He said a small tornado blew the canopy of his truck’s bed and made him think the roof of his space was next.
“You hear a crack and a and everyone trembles, ” he said.
Laura’s wind force blew through all the windows of the Lake Charles space living room where Bethany August survived the typhoon with her sister and two others. They sought protection in a closet when the hurricane was at its worst.
“It was like a jigsaw in that closet. We were more sensitive to each other, we just hugged each other and cried,” Agosto said.
The typhoon was so strong that it was able to regain strength after turning eastward and reaching the Atlantic Ocean, potentially threatening the densely populated northeast.
Laura hit the United States after killing about two dozen other people on Hispaniola Island, adding 20 in Haiti and 3 in the Dominican Republic, where it cut off the force and caused heavy flooding.
It is the seventh named typhoon to hit the United States this year, setting a new record for American lands in late August. The last record of six in 1886 and 1916, according to Phil Klotzbach, hurricane researcher at Colorado State University.
Laura was tied with five other typhoons in the fifth-largest hurricane in the United States, the 1935 Labor Day typhoon, Camille from 1969, Andrew from 1992 and Charley in 2004, Klotzbach said.
