    Zoe Merrill|May 1, 2019

    According to Mayor Shaud Schwarzbach they have about 1,000 linear feet to go before they are finished. When the lines are completed all projects around Big Sandy have been accomplished. If you take a moment to look at the ditches being dug you find it interesting to observe the difference from all the old pipes and the new pipes. If you haven't look yet, carefully observe the ditches. The large steel sledge placed in the ditch is there to protect the workers from the dirt collapsing upon them. I...

  • Big Sandy Community Play; The Beginning of a New Yearly Experience

    Zoe Merrill|May 1, 2019

    The first play that the Big Sandy Theater brought to town, Bedtime Stories (as Told by Our Dad) (Who Messed Them UP) written by Ed Monk, was an enormous success. The play was easy to hear and easier to follow. It was funny and every single actor knew their lines. You could see that they enjoyed the play themselves. Classical music played while we found our seats and waited for Bedtime Stories to start. My granddaughter who was sitting next to me said, "it's 6:01 they're late." But then the...

  • Patching Cracks

    Erik Sietsema|May 1, 2019

    “A man and a woman are walking up to a building. The man notices the woman and runs ahead to open and hold the door for her. As she walks in, she turns to the man and asks ‘Are you holding this door because I am a woman?’ He responds: ‘No. I am holding it because I am a gentleman.’” I’ve heard this anecdote hundreds of times from a good friend of mine who is a pastor. He tells it frequently to make the same point: It’s wise to act based on your identity, not based on the situation you find yourself in. In the story, the guy holds the door...
