The Henry Co. Family Resource Center would like to thank the Smoke Doctors for the canned food drive that was held on Nov. 17.  Through their generous spirit of providing individuals with a free meal for food donations, we collected 767 cans of food and $108 which will be used to help fill holiday baskets and restock the FRC shelves.  We would also like to thank the community for coming out to support this great cause.

Now that the election is over, I feel a void in my life.

The criticism of another’s position, the constant heated debate between family members filled with a heavy dose of vituperation has since dwindled into anemic soliloquies where no one listens but the speaker.

Don’t worry I ‘m not going to rant about my political position nor demand any reader to understand what I think sound public policy should look like.

By Lance Minnis

When I was growing up, we lived in a large old farmhouse with a nice open wrap-around porch.

I must have painted that house five times as a kid, because the weather boards were so old, paint would no longer stick, and years of accumulated paint would chip off between one summer and the next.

Of course, my father would rouse me out of bed early on Saturday, and we would get a good start on some painting project or other. He would often leave me alone to complete it, and then check my work when I was finished.
