Letter: Fairplay Store and Creed Lacy By Jamie Isabelle Opening Columbia Magazine this morning has flooded my eye with so many memories. I wasn't old enough to remember when Mr. Rosenbaum owned the store. I do remember mom and dad talking about him. I came around after Amon Spoon took over. Amon and I are cousins. So, when Mr. Watson talked about all the older ones that hung out at the store, Mackie Spoon was my grandpa. I remember going to the store and all the men would be sitting in the back. My dad, Junior Spoon, would go to the store and hang out too during the day and it was a treat getting off the bus in the afternoon and he would have gotten me a coke and a candy bar that day.

The Whitehurst Diaries: Whir, Whiz, Zoom! As Sharon works to settle in to a new home, a spring cloudburst provides the background to an epic territorial battle on the back porch. Click on headline for complete story with photos. By Sharon Whitehurst When I first hung out the hummingbird feeders during a warm spell of late April weather I began to fear that none would find us at the new house. A solitary male flew past the feeder one afternoon without stopping to drink and I saw no other hummers for nearly a month.
