  • Festival in Bloom

    Has this week’s warmer weather come soon enough for azalea blooms for this weekend’s 10th Annual Azalea Festival? Usually, the azaleas are in full bloom by mid-March. On a few occasions, azalea bushes have even seen their blooms start to fade by the time of the Azalea Festival.  But not this year. This year, South Georgia has experienced a real winter, with freezing temperatures, frosty mornings, even an evening of snow flurries. So, few to almost no azalea blooms so far.

  • Scoggins honored 50 years of flight

    New to the Air Force, Jack Scoggins thought he had nothing more to learn about flying.
    He earned his pilot’s license at the age of 19. He had several years of experience and about 150 hours of flight time before joining the Air Force.
    “I knew everything there was to know about flying,” he recalls many years later, with good humor, adding, “That sounds like a second lieutenant.”
