Local multi-published, multi-genre author Cyn Taylor is celebrating the launch of her twelfth book, Hearts on Fire.
"The book continues along the genre of romantic suspense, but with a bit less romance and a lot more suspense," says Taylor. "As always, my books are faith-based, clean reads."

WE CARE. DO THEY? Zero Union County Commissioners attended the March 8 Friends of Sharps Chapel meeting. All were publicly invited at the last Commissioner’s meeting in February. Their “no show” sent a message that was received loud and clear – “We Don’t Care What You Think”.

I urge our local representatives to be PROACTIVE not REACTIVE to the problem of the "Chicken Farm" in Sharps Chapel. The runoff of untreated waste (6000-10000 pounds) per day from 36000-72000 hens will likely cause great damage to Norris Lake, including pollution causing fish to die, reduction of property values, thus reducing the tax revenue to Union County.
Access to essential health care is limited in economically depressed urban areas. Federally qualified health centers strive to bridge the gap of care to these areas by providing affordable, comprehensive health care. Some of the risk factors for chronic pain happen to be the same risk factors that are common among those who utilize FQHCs (low education level, low socioeconomic status, and higher rate of substance dependence or abuse). Therefore, those more likely to have chronic pain are also more likely to have their healthcare needs met at FQHCs.
