Freedom Village plans scrapped

SUNSET — Plans to locate a Christian group home in Sunset have been called off, less than two weeks after a community meeting that raised concerns about one of the partner organizations.
National Center for Life and Liberty COO Jonathan Bailie issued a news release Thursday about the change in plans for Hannah Grace Homes.
“The nonprofit Board of Directors for Hannah Grace Homes Inc. has decided not to proceed forward with the South Carolina campus in Sunset,” the release said. “Due to the cost of opening being greater than expected and local concern for the partnership with Freedom Village USA, the Board of Directors determined that it was not in the best

Cherokee artifact with local family history gets new home at museum

PICKENS — After being presented to an Upstate man as a sign of gratitude around the turn of the 20th century, a priceless historic Cherokee artifact now has a permanent home at the Pickens County Museum of Art and History.
Local historian and interpretive naturalist Dennis Chastain said he got a call several months ago from 
Seneca resident Tom Bowen, who told Chastain he and his wife, Tody, had a unique Cherokee artifact and wanted to find a good home for it.
Chastain and his wife, Jane, went to Seneca to see the artifact, which he said turned out to be something he had never seen in his 40-plus-year career — a spatulate ceremonial crescent-shaped medallion.
“I was absolutely blown away,” he said. “I had never seen anything like it.”
And though the artifact is a unique piece of Cherokee history, Chastain said “it is the story that goes along with how they came to be in possession of it that is truly amazing.”
Although the medallion was passed down from Tody Bowen’s father, Rufus Kay “Pete” Nimmons, the story begins

Sheriff: Jail staff need higher pay

PICKENS — Sheriff Rick Clark says to draw and retain officers at the county’s new jail, the pay for those positions needs to be increased.
Clark gave an update on the new jail during county council’s August meeting Monday night.
He said that although the jail hasn’t opened yet, that doesn’t mean it’s behind schedule.
“We’re talking about a facility that keeps people against their will,” Clark said. “When you start talking about that, the fire codes change — a lot of things change. All of those regulations jumps about 10,000 percent. Just because it’s not

Advocacy Center warns of human trafficking signs
By Jason Evans

EASLEY — The Pickens County Advocacy Center wants to alert the community to signs of human trafficking in our area.
“We want to spread the word about human trafficking,” victim advocate Cristel Stancil said. “A lot of people are blinded to it. It’s happening here in the United States. It’s happening here in South Carolina.”
The center offers training on the issue, and Stancil wants to ramp up those efforts.
“I think everybody needs to be trained and educated on it, no matter who they are,” Stancil said. “Especially parents who have kids, or anybody who has kids — grandkids, foster kids, whatever.”
Starting conversations about human trafficking can be difficult, she said.
“A lot of people don’t like to talk about it, just like with sexual assault and sexual abuse,” Stancil said. “A lot of people think it’s an international problem, that it’s not happening here in the United States. It’s happening right in your own

PICKENS — Retiring Pickens County administrator Gerald Wilson had hoped officials wouldn’t make a a fuss over him as his career with the county winds down.
He didn’t get his wish.
County council members recognized Wilson during their August meeting Monday night, presenting him with a plaque.
“We had to get you to turn red in the face just one more time,” council chairman Roy Costner told Wilson.
Wilson has been a county employee since the early 1990s and became administrator in 2016.
“I can’t tell you what you have meant to this organization, the incredible amount of time and hours, the phone calls
