The battle for the Rutherford County title belongs to East Rutherford (3-2, 1-0) for the moment.
The Cavs jumped out to a 21-6 halftime lead on the Hilltoppers and never really looked back. Donald Wilkins made the two biggest plays of the game, but the interception for a touchdown in the first half really set off the chain of events that would transpire in East Rutherford’s 42-26 win.
A new sign now proudly proclaims “family owned since 1831”. It marks a Rutherford County treasure.
The year was 1831 and Benjamin Washburn started a mercantile store, inn and tavern in Bostic, North Carolina serving stagecoaches between Lincoln and Rutherford counties. It has been owned and operated through brothers, sons and now by Benjamin’s great-great nephew, Edward Nollie Washburn III. Edward grew up in the store and is now 82 years old. He and his wife Catherine are still active in and about the store.

Opinion
How long is a minute?
I’m not exactly sure how long a minute is anymore. Sometimes a minute seems longer than at other times. For instance, I’m driving to an appointment and I’m running a little late. The traffic light I’m approaching turns yellow, then red. I have to stop. A minute seems like a long time.

Within the next couple of weeks, just about every state will have opened their bow season for deer. These weeks are always some of the most exciting times for those of us who are anxious to get back into the tree stand after several months off. It is also the part of the season where many hunters’ goal is to add meat to the freezer. The doe are fair game and it’s good to get that first shot under your belt knowing that in a few more weeks the waiting may be longer as you look for that big buck.
