The Chattooga County Relay for Life will be held Friday at J. R. “Dick” Dowdy Park in Summerville. The fundraiser benefits the American Cancer Society. Festivities will begin with the cancer survivors walking the first lap, led by the Trion High School drum line and cheered on by the Trion High and Chattooga High cheerleaders. After the survivors lap, a lap will be walked by cancer caregivers. “Twenty years ago, we embarked upon a mission in Chattooga County,” Darlene McRae, one of the organizers said. “The mission was to aid in the fight against cancer. Through the years many lives have been changed by cancer – a disease that has no discriminations, it attacks everyone.” She added that Chattooga County has been a part in saving lives of those with cancer because of their support of the fight against cancer through the Relay for Life and other activities.

Menlo Has A Police Department Con Man Says

Thursday, 17 May 2012 10:01

A scammer’s scheme failed Wednesday when he tried convincing a local resident there was a Menlo City Police Department.

William Parker, of Menlo, says a man called him at his workplace and wanted to talk about a lawsuit. The caller said if Parker didn’t pay him $110 by today, he would be sued in a Florida court.

The pivotal point that clued Parker that it was a scam was the caller’s insistence that he’d filed a police report with the Menlo City Police Department.

Menlo does not have a police force.
