Easton Bryant wants to be part of the answer By Linda Waggener Scrolling through headlines on Columbia Magazine, I clicked on the North Century Pharmacy (NCP) banner ad and, instead of watching TV this evening, I'm watching Easton Bryant's YouTube announcement video. I remember the first time I talked to him a few years ago and Easton said, "I want to be part of the answer." It seems right to have an adviser open to all types of healthcare, not just the 7-years-behind care that our country seems locked into. American healthcare gets among the lowest scores in the world, yet we spend the highest amount of money on it. What's wrong with this picture? I hope to find help watching and listening to his news. I'll let you know what I discover, and invite you to comment after you watch it. 2024-03-14 23:20:23 | Comments | Printable version

New swing a result of businesses and individuals Learning how to be properly prepared, how to plan a project and communicate effectively with others... By Ty Coleman, Scout Troop 185 I have recently completed my Eagle Scout Project! I worked with JOY Ministries and installed a metal swing for their women’s and children’s home called Ruth’s House.

Bailey placed First in General Knowledge, an exam that consists of questions from all five testing categories (Math, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts, and Arts & Humanities).
