Boats and trucks and horses, oh my!
Friday last day
to dine at Dye’s
By Anne Marie Kyzer
annemariek@thetruecitizen.com
The lunch crowd only has a few days left to get their fill at
Dye’s Southern Catering and Restaurant.
Friday is the last day the Liberty Street eatery will dish out
its home-style lunch.
Owner Howard Dye is following the money and planning to
focus on his catering clients. He is closing the restaurant por
tion of his business after Friday but will still operate out of the
same location.
Since opening in August to a packed house at lunch each
day, he said the noontime crowd has dwindled but the catering
has picked up, especially with the growing number of mouths
to feed at Plant Vogtle.
“It’s jut a dollars and cents decision,” he said. "We’re going
to remain in that location and continue to do business. The
time (serving lunch) consumes is just taking away from my
catering.”

Some were fast and others
were slow, some rolled on
wheels and others ran on
hooves. But they all fasci
nated students at
Waynesboro Primary School
last Friday during their an
nual transportation parade.
The parade allowed students
an up close look at various
types of vehicles, boats, trail
ers and even animals used
for transportation. Above,

Community Baby Shower
Gifts, education
for pregnant,
breastfeeding mothers
From Staff Reports
The Burke County
Breastfeeding Coalition is plan
ning Pickles and Ice Cream in the
Park, a community baby shower
to support pregnant and
breastfeeding mothers. The
event is scheduled on Oct. 15
from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the
Burke County Office Park on
West Sixth Street.
The event will offer education
on a variety of topics as well as
activities and entertainment for
families.
Pregnant and breastfeeding
mothers will be offered free pick
les and ice cream, and cake will
be served to guests. Drawings
for baby shower gifts will also
be held throughout the morning.
According to coalition members,
entire communities benefit when
more mothers choose to
breastfeed their children because
of the considerable health ben
efits. A report released in the
journal Pediatrics last spring es
timated that 900 infant lives and
$13 billion could be saved if 90
percent of U.S. women breastfed
their children for six months.
Though 75 percent of mothers
across the nation initiate
breastfeeding at birth, only 13
percent still exclusively
breastfeed after six months. This
significant decrease in the con
tinuation of breastfeeding points
to a lack of support for
breastfeeding mothers.
The Burke Breastfeeding Coa
lition is a chapter of the CSRA
Breastfeeding Coalition, Inc., a
non-profit organization which
aims to promote, support and
protect breastfeeding mothers.
Organizations offering infor
mation or services to pregnant or
breastfeeding mothers and their
families are invited to partner
with the Burke County
Breastfeeding Coalition by pro
viding exhibits of their products
or services, or gifts that can be
used as Baby Shower Gifts. For
more information, contact Deana
Keefer at 706-466-0604 or
Donna Wilson at 706-667-4705
or dmwilson@dhr.state.ga.us.
Downtown volunteers
sought for Halloween
From Staff Reports
The Downtown Organization
of Retailers is on a witch hunt.
They’re searching for busi
nesses and volunteers to set up
tables in Downtown
Waynesboro for the annual
Trick or Treat on Liberty Street,
which will be held 3-6 p.m. on
Monday, Oct. 31.
According to DOOR co-chair
Amy Lively, participants can
give out candy or plan a Hal
loween craft or activity, like the
haunted hayrides that are being
coordinated by the Downtown
Development Authority.
The event, which is in its
fourth year, attracted more than
200 trick-or-treaters in 2010 and
is expected to be even larger this
year since it kicks off just be
fore citywide trick-or-treating,
which begins at 5 p.m.
Organizers say the event itself
will be larger too, extending
down East Sixth Street to
Joiner-Anderson-Saxon-
Prescott Funeral Home. While
the state highways will not be
shut down, the Waynesboro Po
lice Department will be assist
ing children at all of the cross
walks.
Anyone interested in setting
up a trick-or-treat station is
asked to call Amy Lively or Nan
Lynch at 706-554-8100.
