Now Jesse has some real connections to the gospel music industry. J. D. Sumner, who performed with Elvis, appeared on the Gaither videos and was part of many Southern Gospel groups over the years was a good friend to Jesse.

Every fishing line manufacturer taunts their line as having the best qualities and therefore being the best line overall.

If so, you may have caught the spectacular night launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery, en route to the International Space Station. You read correctly: if the weather conditions are just right, night launches are visible from Mill-edge-ville!

The Public Safety Bass Club gets involved in many community activities so they are about more than just fishing.

I believe the good Lord intended for man to have dominion over all the animals, and that dominion includes the sport of hunting or harvesting.

Construction of the new boat ramp should begin late this year or in early 2007. Today's article will be the first in a two-part series about the planned boat ramp.

To satisfy those anglers who desire to fish rather than spend their time hunting or watching football, a good number of Lake Sinclair fishing tournaments are scheduled out of Little River Park between now and the end of December.

A total of four hunters lost their lives in hunting accidents last year. Just a little dose of common sense could greatly reduce these annual hunting accident statistics.

Even though we have experienced a dry and hot summer we have had some rains lately and hopefully they arrived in time to save crops and natural foods that wildlife like doves and deer depend on.
