The Durham Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. is proud to kick off the sorority’s centennial celebration of 100 years of public service.
It is the second week of January. I think that it is time to start talking about summertime tomatoes.
The start of a new year has always been a time for looking forward to the coming year. It's a time to reflect on the changes we want to make for a healthier year ahead.

White Rock Baptist Church figures in the earliest origins of Hayti, organized in 1866 in the home of Margaret Faucette following a series of house-to-house prayer meetings. These meetings became services conducted by the Rev. Zuck Horton. Following his pastorate, Rev. Samuel Hunt, the second pastor, held services for what was then known as the "First Baptist Church" in a cotton gin on Elm Street and in a warehouse on Peabody Street.

It is when the sun is at the lowest point on the horizon at noon and appears at the southern most point during our journey around the sun. Here in Durham, the day length on the solstice was nine hours and 42 minutes.
