OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
COMMENTARY: Stepping over garbage
Long walks by crystal clear creeks, jaunts up mountains, or a driveway on the parkway. It is rare to have this type of nature on your doorstep. That is why it is so disappointing when too often we kick aside burger wrappers on the way out of our doors.
COMMENTARY: Can Cherokee still be considered a tourist destination?
Cherokee is not a family friendly tourist destination any longer.

We do have homelessness on the Boundary and there are those who are both forced into homelessness and those who are homeless by choice.
