Sunday was a perfect day to learn about shooting a bow and arrow, or carving flint into arrowheads or pounding corn in to a fine dust.
Teens gobble up chance to try turkey calling
Cackle. Yelp. Cluck-purr. No, these aren't the sounds of a witch turning a frightened dog into a bizarre chicken-cat. They are the sounds of a hen turkey. Or rather, the sound of hunting professionals Mike Mayfield and Justin Savage pretending to be a hen turkey. Using special devices, and sometimes their own voices, the two demonstrated turkey calls to area middle and high school students yesterday at Stuart Farm in Lula. The event was organized ...

Army Reserve unit gets homecoming welcome
You could say it through a speech or a proclamation. You could say it through song. However you say it, there's no wrong way to thank a soldier. Sometimes it's as easy as "thanks." "I simply want to say to you, on behalf of the citizens of Georgia, thank you," Gov. Nathan Deal said Saturday to the U.S. Army Reserve 802nd Ordnance Co. during the unit's welcome home celebration. The 802nd received a police escort ...

‘Heavy’ television star loses 100 pounds
Jill Adams of Gainesville was not the teacher she thought she could be. At 305 pounds, the future star of an episode of A&E's "Heavy" spent most of her time sitting down in her Sawnee Elementary School classroom. "I was tired all the time," she said. "I would sit at my desk and teach." The 35-year-old's struggles with weight began as a child. Though she was always very involved in school activities, her feelings of ...
Chicken pie supper always hits the spot
One school's fundraiser is such a long-standing tradition, it could probably set a record. Wauka Mountain Multiple Intelligences Academy's annual Chicken Pie Dinner has brought out family and friends, teachers and students, politicians and community members by the thousands for 86 years. "I think this has to be the longest running chicken pie dinner in the world," State Sen. Butch Miller said. Georgia's first lady, Sandra Deal, whose children all attended Wauka Mountain, remembers making ...

Group helps neglected horses and their owners
Lenny was raised in a 10-foot by 6-foot pen, with little or no food or water. That's bad enough for a dog, but Lenny's a horse. Equine neglect is not new, but the recession has made it more of a problem. Lost income, health care costs and foreclosures are making it difficult for some owners to take care of their horses. Without a market, horses are easy purchases for people who don't understand the care ...
