School intersection sure needs...

Traveling down life’s highways we run into plenty of obstacles. The smart fella will always figure out a short cut for himself.

To tell the truth, ever since 1966, I have made the route to and from North Elementary School. First a daughter, then a son, a granddaughter, a grandson and Bless Pete, I have the task of escorting a great-grandson to those hallowed halls of learning.

The trouble is, the kids got smarter and grandpa got lost in the shuffle.

Decking the halls for the holidays is a beloved tradition for many families. A home’s exterior festooned with lights help create a festive holiday mood, while stockings hung by the chimney and a Christmas tree in the living room bring that holiday cheer inside.

They benefit farmers and ranchers who are looking to start selling locally or scale up to regional sales.

Infant mortality rate should...

“More babies are dying in SC.” That was the banner headline in the Charleston Post and Courier recently.

To me, it was both shocking and impossible to ignore. And I would bet most South Carolinians felt the same way. Unfortunately, to many of our state government political leaders, it was just another day at the office.
