Three earthquakes were recorded in Georgia during August, the strongest a 2.4 magnitude which occured far outside of the area where Georgia earthquakes most often occur. The quakes were recorded and reported by the US Geological Survey, which maintains seismograph stations throughout the US.

Decades ago, the Connecticut River was so polluted cities like Hartford, Connecticut, and Springfield, Massachusetts, built freeways along its banks. People just preferred not to look at it. Now, a riverfront property can be worth millions, and rents in communities all along the river are pricing people out. This summer,...

The Connecticut River, 410 miles long, courses from the top of New Hampshire, along the Vermont border, and then through Massachusetts and Connecticut to the Long Island Sound. Along the way, it flows past countless scenes of human drama. This summer, reporter Ben James rode his bike the length of...

Work, addiction and loss at the start of the Connecticut River

My plan was to start out at the Connecticut River’s source, but that plan was ridiculous. A river has no source; it has only a hundred thousand sources: rivulets following improvised channels to streams that feed its major or minor tributaries. So, despite what’s written on the map, the Connecticut River that flows out of what’s called Fourth Connecticut Lake at the Quebec border is no river. It’s a runnel, a rill, a mere pipsqueak of a waterway. It’s a dude with an idea and a GoFundMe page. If this streamlet bore a sign, it’d say, seeking contributions.

It was nearly 30 years ago that Carole Cheah, research entomologist with the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, released her first batch of tiny lady beetles from Japan to combat an invasive pest that was predicted to devastate Connecticut forests. That beetle, called Sasajiscymnus tsugae, is only about 2 millimeters long,...

Around 3.7 million wheelchair users live in the United States, each pushing themselves an average of 2,000 to 3,000 times a day. Some of that is straightforward, but wheelchair navigation sometimes includes negotiating unexpected curbs, stairs, steep hills and other obstacles— and most wheelchair users don’t have access to formal training to learn how to smoothly navigate on their own.

We join a gold panning group to search for treasure. In August 1829, the Georgia Journal, a Milledgeville newspaper, announced that two gold mines had been discovered in Habersham County. The report onfirmed for the broader public a loosely held secret shared by a few new white settlers: the gold region of North and South Carolina extended into Georgia.

Here we (could) go again.. After making a second landfall in South Carolina, Debby weakened to a tropical storm and now located close to Charlotte, North Carolina. Despite the downgrade, the storm remains a threat, bringing heavy rainfall and tornado watches across North Carolina. Tragically, Debby has claimed six lives, including two in Georgia. Although Debby will soon lose its tropical characteristics, the risk of flooding and tornadoes persists as it moves into other states.

As an educator in the Boone County Public School district, I am passionate about public education. I began my career as an English teacher at Boone County High School in 1998, and it quickly became my home. It is where I belong. Over these years I have watched our district grow, and my proudest moments are walking into our school commons each day and seeing the diversity of students and their diversity of interests. I have been fortunate to teach future carpenters, doctors, judges, and plumbers. I have watched my students start their own salons, trucking, car repair, and other small businesses. I have watched thousands of students leave our campus and become successful, thriving adults.
