What is the appeal of YouTubers?

Chalk this up to one of the many things I don’t understand in our modern world. It’s one of those things that would have my kids go “OK, Boomer,” even though I am not one in age, but perhaps only in spirit.

Letters to the editor

Eager for hospital merger To the editor: This is a letter I sent to John Kueven with Northeast Georgia Medical Center. I wanted to let you know about recent care that my wife received at both Habersham Medical Center and Northeast Georgia Medical Center.

We welcome your letters

The purpose of a letter to the editor is getting someone else to think about another side of a local issue or opportunity, or to put an issue or opportunity in front of the community. A letter can jump start ideas of how to make a better Habersham County.

Local Matters

If you have had to water your garden this week, you are definitely reading this edition outside the great state of Georgia. Whew, here in Habersham County, most of us are growing a little moldy around our gills. Yes, I’m thankful for the rain. And I will be thankful when it eases off a little, too.

What is a patriot?

To the editor: As we come up to our national holiday, July 4, celebrating that Declaration of Independence in 1776, it may be time to ask ourselves, “What is a patriot?”    I was brought up to think of that break from English tyranny as a brave act of independence.

Streamline budget talks

Habersham County’s budget process is near the finish line, even as it is just getting out of the starting blocks.

More places to turn in crisis

• Last in a two-part series. Cindy Levi is the CEO of Avita Partners, which offers behavioral health services to 13 counties across northeast Georgia.

Please don’t get married in Georgia on a fall Saturday

My passion for sports dates back to my earliest memories. In fact, I would argue it preceded my ability to form coherent thoughts. Somewhere around age 2 or 3 I reckon. As I grew, so did my affinity for all things Georgia Bulldogs and Atlanta Braves. My affinity for weddings?

Biden not getting it done

To the editor: I agree with Andrew Clyde that Biden is a corrupt person, but he got it wrong. He is also senile and incompetent. The idiot doesn’t know what he is doing, he doesn’t know what the truth is. Some people other than Clyde got slapped in the face about the truth.

Cheers and jeers

THUMBS UP to the Habersham County Airport Commission for putting the wheels in motion toward a private/public partnership to build the T-hangars at the airport.
