Barbara McRae leaves lasting legacy in Macon County
Former editor of The Franklin Press, McRae left a lasting legacy on Macon County. She was our historian, champion of women s rights, not afraid to take on any issue which would better the lives of us all. She wrote countless columns about our history and the natural world around us. She knew the name of every plant and animal on the Greenway, Mayor Bob Scott shared on Facebook. More than likely there is nobody around here whose family Barbara did not write about in some way. Helping us discover our heritage. Preserving our history. She supported the Macon County Heritage Museum. Wrote books about us and especially the Cherokee Nation.

Hike the classics
The 2021 Classic Hikes of the Smokies Series is underway.
These hikes, offered the second Tuesday of each month, feature interpretation of the history, flora and fauna of some of the best trails in America’s most-visited national park. Hikes vary in distance, difficulty and location within the park. Registration is $35 for each hike or $180 for all 10, which works out to one free hike. Proceeds benefit Friends of the Smokies’ Smokies Trails Forever program, which funds rehabilitation efforts for high-use trails in the park.
This year’s hiking schedule is:
April 13: Porters Creek. Hikers will discover wildflowers and cascades on this moderate 7.4-mile excursion.
Letter writer has her facts wrong
To the Editor:
This is in response to the recent letter by Carol Adams of Glenville: “Trump was 1,000 Percent Correct.”
She attempts to refute the “accusation” that the acts of violence committed at the U.S. Capitol were committed by people supporting Donald Trump. To save space, I’ll refer you to the Department of Justice/F.B.I. and Forbes magazine www.justice.gov/opa/investigations-regarding-violence-capitol, and generally: www.fbi.gov/wanted/capitol-violence The first link lists various specifics in the affidavits and statements of facts as to the individual defendants. A number of those specifics refer to far right organizations or beliefs. Some of the F.B.I. press releases section linked in the second link also make reference to far-right organizations
