Laurel — The Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Line has unveiled its new facilities to the public. The expanded building provides more services to the young people the club serves.

From Emily Mayer In last week’s article, I mentioned the James Holland, Sr. home was located at 504 Second Street. This caused a bit of exciting intrigue, and I would like to share it with readers of this column. I found this information in the 1915-1916 Polk Directory, which lists “James G. Holland” living at 504 Second Street. It lists other members of the Holland family living at 501 Second Street, so the 504 address was a typographical error. The directory also records M. A. Holland living at 502 Eleventh Street and D...

From Brian Barrows Lead pastor at Abundant Life Ministries I want to talk to you about the part we play in changing our destiny and the words that someone may have spoken over us in the past.
