For decades, Sarah Segrest taught seventh grade English and Holmes County French. Mrs. Segrest was the first touch of culture that came into the young lives of us country kids just crossing the street from the old brick Bonifay Elementary School to the junior high wing at Holmes County High. She was the right combination…

By Ron Hart | Guest Columnist In a sad day for our country, Donald Trump was forced to come to New York City to face bookkeeping charges dating back to a purported incident in 2009. It was a paperwork entry at his company that he did not do. He was charged with 34 meaningless crimes….

Say that word and everyone knows who you mean—Mark, Merrel, and Michael, born two years apart. Older members call them…
Michael J. Brooks | Guest Columnist It was a story from “The New York Post” last spring that I pondered and saved. The headline proclaimed, “City removes last-standing public payphone from NYC street.” The accompanying picture showed the removal of a telephone counter, not the old-fashioned telephone booth in which Superman changed clothes. It used…
I normally don’t use this space for writing book reviews, but there is one that has really been working on my heart lately: “The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness” by Timothy Keller.
