On Saturday, American Legion Post 9 held a parade and ceremony to honor the 100th anniversary of the organization. The organization’s first meeting happened in Paris in 1919, and the organization is still going strong today.

It can be disheartening when you feel like no one is listening to you. There are plenty of people in Brunswick who probably feel the EPA didn’t listen to them when it comes to the Terry Creek cleanup plan.

It is hard to imagine the kind of fear that must have invaded the minds of the crewmen aboard the Golden Ray shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday. Their vessel was heading out to sea after loading up with vehicles at the Port of Brunswick when a nightmare began.

While people were making their way out of town after evacuation orders were given for Hurricane Dorian, that also meant animals in the Golden Isles had to be moved out of town. That meant a lot of work for the staff at Glynn County Animal Control and the Georgia Sea Turtle Center.

The more time that passes, the danger grows that what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, could drift away from our memories. It’s on every American to make sure that doesn’t happen.

We think it is safe to say that the events of the last two days surrounding the Golden Ray cargo ship will not be forgotten anytime soon in the Golden Isles.

On the football field, our eyes often gravitate to the highlight-making plays of quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers. They electrify with their ability to thread the needle between two players for a pinpoint pass, shed tacklers and run for a touchdown or make an incredible, one-ha…

This space has often touted the generosity displayed by Golden Isles residents. We as a community have shown time and time again our capacity to reach out to help those in need knows no bounds.

Hurricane Dorian has come and gone without doing much damage to the Isles. For that, we should be thankful.

The last five days have felt a little bit like “Groundhog Day” in the Golden Isles. Like the classic Bill Murray movie, every day has seemed the same as we wait for Hurricane Dorian to make its way through our area.

Hurricane Dorian is finally moving this way. After a wait that has felt 10 times longer than it actually has been, the now Category 2 storm is making its way up the coast.

Watching Hurricane Dorian slowly churn in the Atlantic has been a frustrating process. The storm has taken its sweet time, stalling out to the point where it was moving at 1 mph at one point Monday.

Tragedy has a way of bringing people together in the hopes of making the future better. When times are at their worst, we as humans look for a way to somehow make the world a better place and try to prevent anyone else from experiencing such loss.

We should all have certain expectations when attending a meeting being held by a government or government-adjacent body. That includes decorum and protocol as to who gets to speak and when they get to speak.

Giving back is in the DNA of the Golden Isles. Our community’s level of compassion never ceases to amaze us. It’s also worth celebrating every time we see such compassion being shown.

So far, 2019 has been a quiet year on the hurricane front. There have only been three named storms with Hurricane Barry being the worst of the bunch. While Barry did drop a lot of rain, the Category 1 hurricane’s unusual formation (developing out of a low pressure system that moved down from…

Finding a solution to a stubborn problem can be a tricky proposition. Sometimes it takes a different approach, perhaps one that is unfamiliar to a lot of people, to reach the desired results.

Running a small business in the U.S. is not the easiest thing in the world. Along with having to possibly compete with large, national chains, a lot of businesses also have to deal with an obscene amount of government red tape, fees, taxes and other things that put a dent in the bottom line.

On Thursday in U.S. District Court in Brunswick, the Honorable Judge Lisa Godby Wood presided over one of the most emotional ceremonies in our country a judge can — the swearing in of new American citizens.

A ship called the White Lion was forced to dock in Point Comfort in Hampton, Va., in 1619. It was originally bound for the Caribbean with its cargo, which included African slaves.

Libraries are more than just a place where people can check out books. They offer experiences that you may not be able to find in other places.

The last Monday of each month, we dedicate two pages of space to how teachers are using copies of The Brunswick News provided to them through our Newspapers in Education program in their classes.

Summer is a tough time to spend your days outdoors. Many of us prefer the cool, temperature-controlled indoors instead of venturing out into what feels like 100 degree or above weather and going for a run, shooting some hoops or any other physical activity.

Tis the season to go back to school. Glynn County Schools students returned a couple of weeks ago. Frederica Academy students went back last week. Now, it is College of Coastal Georgia’s turn.

Hurricane Irma was a nightmare for a large chunk of the state of Georgia. A state of emergency was declared for all 159 counties and some counties are still working to recover from the hurricane two years later.

You don’t need us to tell you that being a soldier is a calling that comes with extreme risks. Most people understand that. Truth be told, words can’t do justice when describing what the men and women of our armed forces go through.

The ability of citizens to address the grievances they have with government bodies is one that shouldn’t be taken for granted. It helps, though, when you can talk about the issues not just with civic leaders, but the residents that live in your community as well.

The democratic process relies on us, the American people, to exercise our duty and vote. When you don’t vote, you are choosing not to have a say in how the government works for you.

For those who didn’t notice the fleet of yellow school buses out and about early in the morning and in the mid-afternoon last week, Glynn County Schools are back in session. Colleges will be following suit as well in the next few weeks.
