Local Business Spotlight ~ Nothing Bundt Cakes
Life in Summerville is proud to welcome a brand-new business to our town!
Summerville residents are eagerly anticipating the opening of the only Nothing Bundt Cakes shop located on this side of the bridge. The new shop will be located at 1202 N. Main Street in the new plaza behind Sticky Fingers.
If you have never had the pleasure of tasting one of their cakes, you are in for a real treat. You won’t find all different kinds of cakes, pastries, and cupcakes at Nothing Bundt Cakes. The name says it all! When you do something really well, there is no need to do anything else. Believe me, they succeed at making the best bundt cakes ever!
Nothing Bundt Cakes specializes in making THE BEST in quality and flavor bundt cakes. They use only the finest ingredients and all 11 cake flavors and frostings are made on-site every day! So, don’t worry. Your bundt cakes are always fresh. Nothing Bundt Cakes come in 4 different sizes. My favorite is the mini bundlet. It is just enough for one person, but the taste will leave you wanting for more! Have a celebration or a party coming up? Get your supplies right in the shop. It makes it super easy! The best part is cakes are available for those who venture in the store (and always come out smiling), call ahead orders, or have the cakes delivered.
Right now a soft opening is planned for the end of September, but that could change depending on when the shop is able to open for business. To make sure you know when they open their doors to the public, please like their page on Facebook.. Also make sure to sign up for their Exclusive E-Club, where you will receive their official opening announcement, free bundtlets on your birthday, and get buy one-get one free bundtlet coupons sent straight to your email throughout the year!

Important Information regarding Hurricane Florence
As is the case with living near any coast along the ocean, you sometimes have to deal with the potential for bad weather. Today is no different, although this one has the potential to be history-making. With Hurricane Florence heading the the direction of the coastal regions of North Carolina and possibly South Carolina, the local authorities in our county have asked that we share vital emergency information to those in the area. We still do not know exactly where this storm will make landfall, but everyone is being told to check your evacuation zones via the SCEMD app. All you have to do is enter in your address and it will tell you if you are in an evacuation zone. Even if you are not in the evacuation zone, you are being strongly advised to heed the warnings and plan accordingly.
At 5am, the contraflow plan will begin, but you will not be allowed on the interstate as they get read for the lane reversal. Exits will be shut down and no one will be allowed eastbound. According to the SC Highway Patrol, there will be NO ACCESS into Charleston for the morning commute. At 12 noon, the lanes will officially be opened for contra-flow. If you get onto the lane reversal, you will ONLY be able to get off at the Ridgeville exit. If you miss that exit, you will have to go up to Orangeburg.
From the County:
All Dorchester County Administrative Offices, Courts, Convenience Sites, the Dorchester County Library, the Dorchester County Career & Technology Center (DCC&TC) and all Dorchester School Districts Two (DD2) and Four (DD4) Schools will be closed on Tuesday, September 11, 2018, and will remain closed through Friday, September 14, 2018.
A decision on office and school closures on Monday will be made and announced at a later date.
The sandbag distribution sites at Gahagan Park, Dorchester County Fire Rescue Station 21 and Wescott Park are out of sandbags.
Sandbag distribution will begin at Harleyville Town Hall and the Hutto Ace Hardware in St. George at 5:00 PM, today.
Dorchester County Government staff and the Town of Summerville Public Work Department worked in tandem to make and distribute 15,000 filled sandbags to Dorchester County residents.
It’s Back to School Time Again, so Safety First!!!
Let the moaning and groaning of getting up early for school begin again. Yes, it’s back to school time again!
Along with the excitement of children going to school, seeing their friends, and meeting their new teachers, there is something that the Summerville Police Department wants everyone to remember.
SLOW DOWN IN SCHOOL ZONES!
The Summerville Police Department shared a video on their Facebook page this week and I thought it was such a vivid reminder for everyone.
Courtesy of the USDOTNHTSA Also as important as speeding are the rules are for stopping when you see a school bus. A two lane road would be Central Avenue for example. a 4 lane would be Old Trolley Road.
Courtesy of Target Zero So many tragic accidents occur even before the students get to school or back to their homes. Be on high alert anytime you are near buses or a school. A child may not realize the danger and dart out into the street or some from behind a car. Accidents happen, but some can be prevented by being proactive.
Let’s make the 2018/2019 school year a safe and accident-free one!
