Story of Bethlehem set for McKinney Chapel
COUNTY — The long-ago story of a miracle in a stable in Bethlehem will be told again, at McKinney Chapel, in Pickens County’s Eastatoee Valley, on Saturday, Dec. 21, at 7 p.m.

Good Samaritans are still among us
On the Way
By Olivia Fowler
My beloved cousin Gwynne in Tennessee has the most loving and generous spirit of anyone I know. She is a sucker for any sob story, is active in animal rescue, volunteers in an organization to help troubled teens and is the first person in town to call if someone needs help.
For many years she taught first grade and kept at it so long she ended up teaching children of former students. She retired last year but is teaching part-time this year, sharing a class with another teacher. They split the week, and she loves it.
She’ll go to bat for a child when necessary
