Artist commits to year-long challenge

March 30, 2012

Darbey Younce is head over heels in love. That’s what she says, but then, so do most 16-year-olds. She’s been in love since May 2010 when she was in New York City with her family for their first visit to the Big Apple. You see, Younce is in love with photography. This is what happened when she picked up a camera one day in New York City.

Open the Hatch

March 15, 2012

The small sandwich shop on a busy corner in downtown Hickory opened inauspiciously two weeks ago. The lights went on and the door was unlocked, and Hatch Sandwich Bar opened without fanfare ... yet.

For owners Zach Harkins and Colin Makin, Hatch is their first venture as owners of a restaurant, but it’s a dream both have had for years.

Harkins attended UNC-Chapel Hill and Appalachian State University. He graduated from ASU in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in communications.

Makin, originally from Boonsboro, Md., graduated from ASU in 2008 with degrees in philosophy and religion.

ReSource of new life

March 8, 2012

Our nation is often times known as a throwaway nation, but as the old saying goes, “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.”

Resource Warehouse & Gallery isn’t your grandma’s traditional resale shop. Eddie Broussard explains why.

Broussard serves on the board of directors for ReSource and Safe Harbor Rescue Mission.

In Tune with the Arts

March 1, 2012

John Coffey and Jeff Hartman have a lot in common — both are extremely talented artists and are known and recognized “far and wide,” as the saying goes. They’ve known each other for 16 years but the ease of being around them together speaks volumes more than 16 years. It’s only natural for Coffey and Hartman to team up together in business. But to these artists, it’s more than business, and they don’t like to think of what they do as business....

They met at The Green Room Community Theatre’s 1996 production of Broadway’s longest running musical, “The Fantasticks.”
