Fish for healthy hearts
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
Fish is a delicious alternative to red meat. The omega-3 fat in fish is beneficial to heart health, and almost every grocery store in our region now has a mini fish market, so it behooves us all to take advantage of the availability.
I believe that the simplest ways of cooking fish are the best. Too much sauce or other ingredients mask the light, delicious flavor and flaky texture.
It’s one thing to enhance the natural flavors, but it’s criminal to drown the flavor. Fish stands well alone.
It can be grilled, baked, broiled, stuffed, and made into chowder or fish cakes. But this week’s recipes focus on simple preparations that most people have a hard time finding fault with.
Nothing beats fresh fish, but if you can’t find it fresh, frozen is an excellent choice.

Living legends
Pickens Savings and Loan announces retirement of longtime board members
By Lauren M. Murphy
Special to the Courier
news@thepccourier.com
PICKENS — In 2021, the two longest-serving board members of Pickens Savings and Loan Association, William “Billy” Singleton and Jack Tinsley, decided that they were ready to retire from their positions on the bank’s board.
Perhaps the fact that the two gentlemen were each about to reach the age of 95 played a small role in that decision.

Billy Singleton, left, and Jack Tinsley served on the Pickens Savings and Loan board of directors for nearly 60 years each, and they’re now easing into retirement from their positions in their mid-90s.
However, to their fellow board members, the administration and the staff of Pickens Savings and Loan, Singleton and Tinsley’s age is just a number.
Singleton and Tinsley continue to amaze those around them who have had the pleasure of working alongside them over the years and, more specifically, in recent years. The remarkable ability of these two gentlemen to recall the details of loans made five years ago or events that impacted the bank 50 years ago will likely be revered by the board members and staff of Pickens Savings and Loan for many years to come.
Due in large measure to the insight, dedication, support and guidance that the two have given, Pickens
