Wednesday, April 27, 2022
Last week, we addressed the perceived pros and cons of regional tourism in a pair of stories “above the fold”. Growth management and/or tourism are overarching themes in the majority of the hard news that we cover here in Hart County.

Nancy the impetus

The impetus, defined as:  the force that makes something happen, often comes from someone else, like a friend, co-worker, boss or perhaps like me — a cousin. Because my first cousin Nancy grew up in College Park, Md. and was three years older than me, we were never really close.

Wednesday, April 20, 2022
Matthew 5:16 (NKJV) reads, 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Spiritually speaking, “letting our light shine before men” is to show or make known our thoughts and feelings according to God’s Word of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Dan Hunt
Wednesday, April 20, 2022
I was tickled to see people embrace the return of our Golden Egg hunt. These past few weeks, a lot of folks — some that I knew and some that I was just meeting for the first time — called in to the office or arrived in person to pick my brain as each clue printed.

Spring has sprung and if you take a stroll through this county, it’s impossible to miss. If it’s not the natural beauty that gives you a hint, it’s all the community-driven events and hobbies going on that have to do with planting. This community loves its gardens and we’re all better off for it.

New chairs come with new friends

Wednesday, April 6, 2022
Once upon a time I bought a little chair from someone on Facebook Marketplace. It was $5. My idea was to use it in my bathroom. So on a beautiful late summer afternoon I met the lady in the Sardis Baptist Church parking lot to pick it up. She was so kind.

A few years back there was this public service announcement that stated, “This is your brain”, followed by, “this is your brain on drugs.” The ensuing visuals left no doubt about the potential horrors of drug addiction.
