Send us a textTucked away in the northwest corner of South Carolina, Oconee County reveals itself as an undiscovered treasure where natural beauty intertwines with captivating history. As I wandered through this Blue Ridge Mountain paradise, I uncovered the poignant legend of Issaquena, a brave Choctaw maiden who risked everything for love, leaving her name on what is now a magnificent 200-foot waterfall – just one of over 300 cascades dotting the county's landscape.My journey took me to Patriots Hall in Walhalla, where the sobering story of Staff Sergeant Lewis "Slim" Watkins unfolded. This local hero posthumously received the Congressional Medal of Honor after sacrificing his life to shield fellow Marines from a grenade during the Korean War. His medal rests there today, a testament to extraordinary courage in the face of certain death.Perhaps nothing captures Oconee's quirky character better than Stumphouse Tunnel – an ambitious 1850s railroad project abandoned after consuming over a million dollars, only to find new purpose a century later as Clemson University's unexpected blue cheese aging facility. This "tunnel to nowhere" now welcomes visitors curious about its unusual history.The county's spirit runs deep – quite literally – at Chattooga Bell Farm Distillery, where passionate master distiller Ben Wesley crafts exceptional rums and whiskeys from fruit grown steps away from the stills. Similarly, Two Horse Distillery, founded by former rodeo champions, honors their western legacy through carefully crafted spirits using mountain spring water.With four stunning lakes spanning thousands of acres, miles of hiking trails through ancient forests, and Class 3 and 4 rapids on the Chattooga River (yes, from the movie "Deliverance"), outdoor enthusiasts find endless adventure possibilities. Yet what struck me most was how every corner of Oconee County tells a story – Cherokee names etched on roadways, German churches standing since the 1850s, and prohibition-era moonshine caves hidden among the hills.Experience this remarkable destination where, as I discovered, "the US has stories everywhere – you just have to look where the tour buses don't bother going."

Emergency supplies are now being airlifted into western North Carolina to help the victims of Helene. The storm brought excessive rainfall and devasting flash flooding to the region – cutting off some communities from the outside world. If you or someone you know is in need of help, here's how to apply. If you were impacted by Hurricane Helene, you may be eligible to receive disaster assistance from FEMA. This funding could help pay for essential items, temporary housing assistance, repairs to your home, and more. Whether you live in North Carolina or South Carolina, there are three ways to apply: you can visit www.disasterassistance.gov, call 1-800-621-3362 or use the FEMA App. 25 counties in North Carolina have received a major disaster declaration. The counties on your screen now are the eligible counties in North Carolina. The counties of Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Clay, Cleveland, Gaston, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Lincoln, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Transylvania, Watauga, Wilkes, and Yancey Counties and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians are included in the declaration. In South Carolina, you must live in one of these places - 13 Aiken, Anderson, Bamberg, Barnwell, Cherokee, Greenville, Greenwood, Lexington, Newberry, Oconee, Pickens, Saluda and Spartanburg counties can apply. In North Carolina, if you or someone you know needs food, water or other necessities you can call 211. This is also the same number you call to report a loved one missing. So if you're calling from out of state, you can dial 1-888-892-1162 to reach the hotline, which is being run by the United Way of North Carolina.

/Koniec bajdurzenia: 00:19:21/ No hej! Po wakacyjnej przerwie wracamy z kolejnym odcinkiem, a w nim poruszamy całą masę tematów. Jest piłka nożna, są igrzyska olimpijskie, jest kino, jest kącik działkowy, a także trochę o nowym projekcie podcastowym Grzegorza! Są oczywiście też kryminalne opowieści! W pierwszej historii Grzegorz porusza historię sprawy z 2014 roku, która miała miejsce w malowniczym zakątku stanu Georgia. W przedziwnych okolicznościach dochodzi do morderstwa, nad którym wciąż głowią się najtęższe głowy amerykańskich służb. W ostatnim czasie sprawa znów wróciła do mediów, więc być może szykuje się w niej jakiś przełom. Za to Kamil jak to Kamil zaskakuje nietypową historią z polskiego podwórka, czyli sprawą buntu w bydgoskim areszcie, który miał miejsce w przededniu stanu wojennego. Osadzeni nie tylko przejęli kontrolę nad jednostką penitencjarną, ale też spisali swoje żądania. Niektóre z postulatów zapewne zaskoczą wielu.

Finally, on Tuesday, a pair of neighbors decided to make a house call and check in on the missing pair, who hadn't been seen or heard from in nearly four days...Research, writing, hosting, and production by Micheal WhelanMusic composed and created by Micheal WhelanAdditional music includes "Unresolved Mysteries" by Ailsa Traves (podcast theme song, end credits)Learn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

According to newly released Gallup figures, just 30 percent of American workers are engaged in their work. The rest are described as disengaged, with 17 percent actively disengaged, “which means they are literally trying to sabotage the organization,” notes Neil Stevens, president and CEO of Oconee State Bank in Oconee, Georgia. “Gallup also says that if you have a 70 percent or higher engagement score, you're 23 percent more profitable than those with lower engagement scores. So engaged teams truly, in my mind, lead to healthier cultures, better customer retention.” On the latest episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast — presented by R&T Deposit Solutions — Stevens discusses his approach to cultivating a bank where engagement scores have climbed to 89 percent, triple the national average. Stevens works to build this culture through a framework called Leading Life on Life that emphasizes loving, equipping, affirming and developing (“LEAD”ing) team members. Among other topics on the show, Stevens discusses the role of love in bank management, the importance of active listening and how an environment of healthy affirmation actually allows leaders to hold their teams to higher standards. Hear Stevens discuss bank culture and employee engagement at the ABA Annual Convention, Oct. 27-29 in New York City.
