Today’s youth will shape tomorrow’s future so why not encourage them to create something that is completely their own. Black Belt Treasures and Cultural Arts Center in Camden has made the pledge to do just that. Black Belt Treasures opened for business on Oct. 1, 2005, with approximately 75 artists. To date, more than 500 artisans have sold their work through Black Belt Treasures.

This week I lived democracy in Camp Hill by working with Camp Star’s Improv Camp, an all-guys camp focused on using art to develop leadership skills. Increasing the emotional inventory for campers was the goal for the week. Campers, ten young men ages 15 to 19, attended from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday to Friday.

- Community honors veterans with new park
-
-
As many celebrated the Fourth of July with fireworks, cookouts, and time with friends, it was also a good time to remember the sacrifices those who serve in the military have made for our country. The Collinsville Veteran’s Memorial Park, located right down from the train tracks downtown, serves as a powerful reminder.

- Lawford's Hardware represents value of local businesses
-
-
In most cases, local businesses are the backbone of small towns. These businesses help bring people together and have a great impact on the community. One example of a local business in Elba is Lawford’s Hardware store at 333 Davis St. on the downtown square. This store is stocked with all kinds of tools, fishing gear and just about everything needed for home repairs.
