Jimmy E. Banner stopped into the Beacon's office last week and dropped off a story idea. He noted with seriousness, “a number of completed projects in the 2006." Banner just wanted to put “the growth of Unicoi County in the limelight of progress." His hope of pointing out the growth in Unicoi is to “entice more business and industry to locate in our area." Early in the year Banner noticed a new Verizon Wireless Cellular Tower on top of Gentry Mountain up behind Flag Pond. A new industry has located in the former modular home plant at the lower end of the Erwin Industrial Park. The new company is called All State Building Systems, and it is a modular home manufacturer as was its predecessor. Impact Plastic's Company has recently added 22,000 square feet to their plant in the Industrial Park.

Among the few things I'm proud of in my life, not having had contact with Windows when I first "met" a computer is somewhere around the top. Indeed, the first computer I used ran Unix, and I have been using Unices myself for some time. Back to Windows, 1/5 A Quick History Although I've started out with Unix, I have been a Windows user for a long time. That is, since around the days of Windows 95. Before that, I did have an HC (a Romanian-made, Z80-based Spectrum-ish computer), but I couldn't afford a computer of my own. I won't go through the Windows 95 bashing part again. It was nicknamed Mac '84 at its time, and for a good reason. It was slow, bloated, full of bugs, and as soon as I began to understand its inner working (as far as you can understand from a closed-source OS of course), I immediately thought it was going to take several ice ages before it would become the clean, ideal operating system it was advertised as.
Oct 17 2006 : IKEA North America is installing new signature-capture payment terminals from San Jose, California-based VeriFone at all of its 28 stores across the U.S. VeriFone's Omni 7000MPD modular systems will be equipped with signature capture pads and VeriFone payment application software. "Capturing the signatures electronically means that IKEA will not need to store paper signatures, and this will reduce the cost of operations," a VeriFone spokesperson tells epaynews. Retailers utilizing paper receipt signatures for card payments must store them so that they can produce them as evidence in the case of a dispute with the customer. The Omni 7000MPD terminals can be configured with Ethernet, USB and serial connectivity, and the modular design allows new features such as contactless card and smart card readers to be added to them, says VeriFone's director of marketing, Jeff Wakefield in a statement.
Every time it rains hard in Dunn, untreated sewer water erupts from manholes and runs into the Black River and Mingo Swamp. It’s been that way for years. The same thing happens in countless communities around the state, where aging sewer systems can mean big problems for cash-strapped municipalities. Sometimes pipes break. That happened on Fort Bragg earlier this month when a 10-year-old main burst and spilled 75,000 gallons of waste water into Beaver Creek. In the Cape Fear region, more than 2.7million gallons of untreated sewage leaked, spilled or gushed from cracked, broken or clogged sewer pipes between Sept. 30, 2005, and Oct. 1 of this year. Most of it ran into creeks and rivers. Dunn was responsible for about two-thirds of the total.
