Big Thursday scholarships make impact on education
Big Thursday of Lancaster Inc. brings together area University of South Carolina and Clemson supporters.
When they leave, as strange as it may seem, both groups of backers are likely sporting smiles – toothy grins worth of a good day.
The Big Thursday Scholarship Committee has produced plenty of big smiles over the last few years.
The committee works to help county students who attend the University of South Carolina Lancaster and Clemson University.

Oliver deserves to lead patrol
Lancaster native Mike Oliver knew years ago as a mere teen he wanted to work in law enforcement.
He just didn’t know his love for enforcing the law would lead him to the top of his profession in the Palmetto State.
It has, as Oliver is now commander of the S.C. Highway Patrol after being named to the elite post in December by Leroy Smith, director of the S.C. Department of Public Safety.
“I never dreamed that I would one day be the colonel,” Oliver said. “I’m honored. I know it’s a great responsibility.”

Put safety, protection habits into practice
No one is totally safe
Are you a warrior or a victim? That was the question Maj. Matt Shaw, undersheriff at Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office, presented to those at a personal safety awareness class. A need for such a class was necessitated by the recent rage of violent attacks in Lancaster County.
Just days after Christmas, Kershaw resident Hope Melton was kidnapped, sexually assaulted and brutally beaten to death with a baseball bat. Her body was thrown in a desolate area known for coyotes and other animals.

CNN story slap in face to Lancaster
According to CNN’s Moni Basu, the plight of folks living in Lancaster is likened to Tom Joad’s family in John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath.”
Steinbeck documents the misery the Joads experience as they leave their foreclosed, dust-covered farm in Oklahoma to find work in Depression-era California.
“In hard-hit S.C. town, faith and finances fuel political decisions,” Basu equates the aftermath of Springs Industries’ demise to the Joads’ struggle as migrant workers.

USC has plenty to crow about
2011 has passed, but University of South Carolina Gamecocks fans will long savor it for the sweet memories.

But 2011 was a watershed year with a flood of fond memories.
Of course, the USC baseball team provided many thrills with its second straight national championship run.
