Above, colorful beehives
serve as home base for tens
of thousands of worker bees
that pollinate the bushes at
Byne Blueberry Farm each
year. The honey those bees
made was recently har
vested by second genera
tion beekeeper Mike Wise,
right. Wise robbed the bees
by carefully removing sev
eral golden honeycombs the
bees build in wooden frames
hung inside the hives. Dick
Byne, who first brought
hives on his farm more than
25 years ago, will use the
honey that is extracted to
sell in his line of Byne Blue
berry Products. Local honey
is touted to have several
health benefits including
easing allergy symptoms.
Wise owns several hives that
are kept at different loca
tions around the county. His
bees play an important role
in pollinating crops for many
farmers and produce sweet
rewards for Wise to collect
several times each year.
We won’t forget
Burke County residents came together last Wednesday to pay their respects to
veterans like Sammy Jenkins, above, who put their lives on the line to protect
our country. American Legion Post 120 hosted the ceremony, which included a
personal tribute from keynote speaker Dr. Lawrence Guido and the placement of
wreaths by six organizations in memory of our fallen soldiers. American Legion
Post 270 provided lunch for all attendees.

Rachael Ray gives $4,000 to Old Fella
By Elizabeth Billips

The Old Fella Burke County
Animal Rescue has $4,000 to put
toward its cause, thanks to
Rachael Ray’s Mutt Madness
competition.
The television chef and author
launched the online contest as a
way to help non-profit groups
dedicated to animals in need -
and Old Fella was among the 84
organizations tapped for the
$50,000 grand prize, which will
be decided Nov. 22 by online
votes from the general public.
Voters pushed OFBCAR
through the first four rounds into
the final-eight, but Old Fella was
knocked out Tuesday by Angel’s
Gate, a New York based com
panion animal hospice for termi
nally ill pets that has appeared
on Oprah and the Martha Stewart
Show.
OFBCAR president Bruce
Storm said community support
was overwhelming, and that the “Our friends and neighbors
$4,000 in prize money to will go have been very generous in their
toward the continued medical support of efforts to make our
rehabilitation of rescued animals, community safe for the animals,”
To date. Old Fella has rescued Storm said. "We appreciate all of
603 dogs and cats, including 550 our members, volunteers, sup-
that have been adopted or trans- porters and news media that ral-
ferred to sister shelters for adop- lied to our support in the con-
tion. test.”
