Now Winthrop University is thinking about adding football to their course offerings.

Why in heaven’s name do the taxpayers of South Carolina need another football program? 

I realize Winthrop has the stigma of being labeled a girls school, but wouldn’t a college dedicated to education serve us better?

Adding new facilities, coaching staff, scholarships and conference membership during difficult times just doesn’t seem a wise choice.

If you have never driven or ridden on Taxahaw Road from S.C. 522 Grill to S.C. 265 then consider yourself fortunate. Count your blessings that you have not had the pleasure of hitting a pothole so deep that it warped your rim and busted the tire.

This stretch of road is in such terrible shape that you feel like you are NASCAR racing because you are switching lanes to avoid potholes.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is still expanding the list of retailers carrying meat unfit for human consumption to Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington and 970 locations in California alone.

About 8.7 million pounds were shipped all through 2013 by Rancho Feeding 

Corporation of Petaluma, Calif.

The recall comes in the wake of USDA’s new “inspection” program that allows the meat industry to increase speed of processing lines and replace federal inspectors with plant employees.

Some low-life thieves recently stole a young man’s graduation gift from his father. It was a 6800-watt. four-wheeler chained in his yard at Baker Place.

This young man went to school for 12 years to make something of himself. He already has a promising job and a great future.

To the thieves, what kind of future do you have except for a life of crime? If you have children, I hope they don’t follow in your footsteps.
