Good morning, Decatur.

Chef Duane Nutter previewed his new cookbook featuring classic Southern recipes with a dash of international flair—he added plenty of humor during his visit to the Good Day kitchen yesterday.

Young readers in Decatur went on a bookstore shopping spree that let them explore new titles—sparking their interest in reading and offering a fun day of discovery.

Decatur residents are asked to look out for the spotted lanternfly—an invasive insect that can damage many local plants and crops.

Officials say that anyone who spots the insect should take a clear picture, kill it immediately, and report the sighting to the Georgia Department of Agriculture.

Marist High School guard Kate Harpring represented USA on the Women’s U19 national team at the FIBA U19 Women’s World Cup in Brno, Czechia starting July 12, and she played in three wins over South Korea, Hungary, and Israel.
