Stay cool, stay safe while enjoying Independence Day
It certainly has taken its time this year - for which we are ever-grateful - but it looks as though the heat of the summer is finally upon us. Temperatures in and around Bryan County have hovered in the upper-90s or higher the past few days, forcing heat indices well into the triple digits.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Crapse family
Friday proved to be a very sad day for Bryan County. We woke up that morning to learn the seemingly unthinkable had happened - an on-duty sheriff's deputy was killed in a head-on collision on the interstate. Sgt. Robert "Bobby" Crapse wasn't pulling anyone over for speeding, he wasn't engaged in a high-speed chase. He was simply doing what we all do everyday - driving down the street.
Thanks for all you’ve done; Happy birthday U.S. Army

Public library is one big page-turner of summer fun
School is out and the blanket of heat and humidity is settling in for the next few months. Though the season won't officially start for two more weeks, it is safe to say that summer is upon us.

Whatever the plans are, they've got to be fun.

Sacrifice not in vain as long as we remember
If you're like most Americans, you're likely spending the next few days celebrating the first full holiday weekend of the summer. Perhaps now that school is out, you're taking a family vacation.

Why not just call 911?
Dear Editor: "A need that needs to be met" by Victor Pisano in the Bryan County News last week had me asking just one question. Why didn't Mr. Pisano just call 911? An ambulance would have been immediately dispatched to his residence. The EMS providers are fully capable of administering epinephrine (the turkey baster shot he complained about), the treatment of choice for wasp stings. It's ...
