AUBURN, Ala. (AP) Whether through anger, denial, depression or guilt, everyone goes through their own ways of coping with the loss of someone they loved. For a few, they find the strength to transform that grief into ensuring that others don’t have to suffer the same loss they went through.
The Power of Will, a nonprofit foundation dedicated to funding research and assisting families with loved ones suffering from sarcoma, was founded by the family of Will Hudson, a 26-year-old Auburn native who died in August 2020 after years of battling cancer.

Lecia Smith recently decided to take a drive around Ridgeland, not knowing where it would lead.
Now, Smith is helping Euhaw Baptist Church in its effort to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In our spare time, I like to explore local towns and look at historical architecture, said Smith, who lives in Okatie. We heard about a local restaurant there called Eats and Sweets and wanted to go there and came across Bees Creek Road and saw two beautiful churches there.
Smith said Holy Trinity Episcopal Church looked to have been kept up well, but Euhaw Baptist Church seemed to need an upgrade. She decided contact the Jasper County Chamber of Commerce to see if they could put her in touch with the Jasper County Historical Society. She eventually reached society president Steve Rountree.

Sweet Tea Shakespeare is preparing for its first in-person performance in more than a year with a production of Much Ado About Nothing.
From April 29 to May 9, play lovers can return to view Sweet Tea shows as they did before the COVID-19 pandemic. Things will be slightly different with less audience engagement.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Sweet Tea has put on multiple virtual productions, which the theater group plans to continue as things open up. We have a whole slate of several handfuls of productions and audio dramas planned, said Jeremy Fiebig, artistic director at Sweet Tea Shakespeare. We re doing a really intense project called The Shipwreck Festival starting this weekend, and it will continue through July, but then we re continuing our podcasts, our streams, our audio dramas all through next year.
