Mt. Olive Baptist Church on Mt. Olive Chuch Road at Highway 37 East is growing. This new building will house a preschool and children’s education facility. Measuring more than 10,000 square feet, the building is scheduled to be finished this summer, according to Mt. Olive’s pastor, the Rev. Andy Cashwell. It will include classrooms, plenty of restroom facilities and a large lobby for a gathering place. ‘This will make room for our adult Sunday school classes as well,’ Cashwell said, indicating the adults would spread into the area now housing the children’s programs.

Opinion

Saving the critters
Dear editor:
Wildlife rehabilitators, or rehabbers as they are known in the animal community, are very special people. They have acquired the knowledge and experience that is needed to work with injured and orphaned wildlife. Licensed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, and if caring for federally protected species, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, a wildlife rehabilitator’s ultimate goal is to take an injured or orphaned animal, get it healthy and return it to its natural habitat.

“Where were you on Sept. 11, 2001?” is a phrase that brings an immediate reaction in people and they can tell you right where they were. But before that, another phrase brought a similar reaction — “Where were you on Dec. 7, 1941?” — the day the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
