Local historian presents plan to preserve scenic Highway 11
Having worked on Highway 11 issues for 30 years, I am very encouraged to see so much interest in, and support for, efforts to preserve the integrity of the Highway 11 scenic corridor.
The problem is folks appear to be sharply divided into two schools of thought. One group, the clear majority, wants to put a halt to all 
commercial and residential development along our portion of the scenic highway, and the other group fears that efforts to preserve the scenic corridor would unduly restrict their private property rights.
One thing everyone needs to keep in mind is that Highway 11 is not the Blue Ridge Parkway, nor

Think pink for breast cancer awareness
The Courier is going pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In honor of those whose lives have been affected by this devastating disease, we will accent our front page with pink every week of October.
The pink ribbon has been synonymous with breast cancer for years. Nowadays, people rarely think twice when they see pink ribbons, having grown accustomed to the pink ribbon and what it symbolizes.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been celebrated each year since 1985, and many other breast cancer awareness initiatives have been devised since then. While the pink ribbon may seem like it’s been in use for just as long, it was actually established only a little more than 20 years ago.
Although you can see waves of pink every October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, many people don their ribbons year-round. Great strides have been made with respect to breast cancer, but with about 225,000 new cases popping up each year in the United States alone, there is still work to be done.

‘Disturbing trend’: Local Dem leader, author react to book ban
PICKENS — While there was little opposition to the move by the Pickens County School Board to ban two books from the district’s classrooms and libraries, two notable local figures voiced their disapproval over the move last week.
“Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You” by Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds and “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky were formally yanked out of circulation, roughly a month after a parent alleged the first book violated a state budget rule that
