Jackson County's "outstanding women" rode in style last Friday when they traveled to Asheville to accept accolades from the Western Carolina Women's Coalition. Russ Cagle of Sylva's Performance Motors donated limousine service to the four, who received Outstanding Women Awards during a March 3 banquet. Area honorees, from left, are Sylva Mayor Brenda Oliver, legendary mountain musician Mary Jane Queen of Caney Fork; School Board Chairman Martha Queen; and former Cherokee Principal Chief Joyce Dugan. The four will be honored locally Friday, March 31, during a 6 p.m. ceremony at Western Carolina University's Mountain Heritage Center.
