That leaves a trip to the emergency room, which according to Johns Hopkins Medicine, can involve a long wait, and may be costly – or even unnecessary. Now, there are not one but two options in the CSRA. KidsStreet Urgent Care opened in Martinez last month and NiteOwl Pediatric Urgent Care opens in North Augusta next week. “This area was underserved

Thoughts from the General: The C’s that define extraordinary leadership

There are 11 “C’s” which I believe help define extraordinary leadership. They are Compassion, Creativity, Confidence, Consistency, Consideration, Courage, Charity, Competence, Communication, Courtesy, and Collaboration. Leaders who follow the eleven C’s make our world a better place. You may wish to grade yourself in each category. I would like to highlight five extraordinary leaders in Augusta who embody the eleven C’s: Shell Berry, Randy Hatcher, Kim Evans, Clint Bryant, and Jeff Annis. Compassion. Medal of Honor and Carnegie Medal recipients can be our guide. In many cases, these people acted

Editor’s Note: Wes Hennings never met a meal he walked away from and is an opinionated eater!
