Blogging the Outdoors: Venison ConcernsDeer meat? YUCK! That’s what many of my non-hunting friends say when I mention cooking some fine meals with the tasty portions of venison. When it’s properly prepared, it’s hard to find a better tasting food. Apparently some others, including hunters, are having concerns this year when it comes to deer meat. According the SC Department of Natural Resources (SC DNR) website, they have received some calls already this hunting season with concerns about the safety of eating deer meat. They claim the concerns come from “the recent news that a significant hemorrhagic disease (HD) outbreak in deer being reported in many southeastern states.“ The SC DNR says HD can cause sickness in deer, but does NOT affect people. “Hunters should not be concerned about the safety of eating venison”, says DNR. The SC DNR also says HD appears about every 3 to 5 years. They say the last time there was a significant flare-up of HD in SC was in 2002.

Day One of I-73 trip to Washington - a busy oneMartha Hunn reports from Washington, D.C. as Pee Dee and Grand Strand leaders lobby for the highway project
I recently came across an interesting poll that questioned 5,000 people aged 18 or older that lived within 20 miles of the coast from Texas to North Carolina. The subject was hurricanes, and how prepared people are for a hurricane.
Unfortunately, Scotland County falls into one of those media “cracks.“
On Tuesday, September 25th, Eastern South Carolina leaders will board a chartered jet for Washington, DC, all with one focus, moving forward plans for constructing Interstate-73. They’ll meet up with other leaders from the states along the I-73 corridor- North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Michigan, for two days of handshaking and note-taking. It’s their mission to position I-73 for priority funding in the next Transportation Reauthorization Bill, coming up in 2009.

The tropics are becoming a little active this week, with four areas to watch, but none of these areas are threatening the Carolinas.
The News 13 family took some time today to congratulate one of our favorite people on a milestone in his life.
I talked with Florence Fire Marshall Ken Carr today about the tragedy in Scotland County, where four young children died in a house fire. He says firefighters are devastated when they respond to a fatal fire. And it’s extremely hard to cope with the loss of a child.
