It has been more than a year since Julie Mason’s truck hit Crystal Harrison’s sedan head on in Pickens County kill-ing Harrison, 9-year-old Raven Stancil, and badly injuring two others.

Officials say, on March 4, 2011, Mason got behind the wheel of her vehicle under the influ-

ence of a drug found in aerosol canisters called, Difluoroethane.

It is believed that she was rendered uncon-scious by the drug before colliding into Harrison’s car at 40mph.

“She made a horrible criminal mistake the day that she decided to huff those fumes and then drive which resulted in the loss of life of two people and horrible inju-

ries for the two boys that did survive,” said Pickens County Assistant Solicitor Lisa Bentley.

Crystal Harrison was an employee of the Department of Social Services (DSS) and a case worker for chil-dren.

Along with her two brothers, Jase Miller and Joshua Stancil, Raven

Stancil was in the custody of DSS at the time of the

accident.“It is a tragedy

all around, it is a tragedy for the vic-tim’s family, and it is a tragedy for Ms. Mason’s fam-ily,” said Bentley.

F o l l o w i n g the accident, Julie Mason was

arrested and released on $80,000 bond.

Her lawyer scheduled a plea for April 26, 2012, but Mason fled police and was later found in Ohio by U.S. Marshals and returned to Pickens County on July 16, according to officials.

Upon her return, Mason pleaded guilty on Aug. 31.

“She was convicted of one count of felony DUI with death, two counts of felony DUI with great bodily injury, and one

count of reckless homi-cide,” said Bentley.

Mason was sentenced to 20 years at the Court of General Sessions in Pickens County by Judge Letitia Verdin.

“I believe that a sen-tence of 20 years was appropriate, and I think it was fair,” said Bentley.

She is presently being processed at Graham Reception and Evaluation Center in Columbia.

PHILADELPHIA — Versa Capital Management, LLC (Versa), a private equi-ty investment firm, this week announced the creation of Civitas Media, LLC (Civitas), a new community news media company. Civitas, Latin for “community” or “citizen”, combines four media enti-ties owned by Versa: Freedom Central, Heartland Publications, Impressions Media, and Ohio Community Media.

Locally, the former Heartland Publications owned the Easley Progress, Pickens Sentinel and Powdersville Post. Those three papers and their websites are now part of the new Civitas group. Local, regional and senior management of the three local media companies remains the same.

“We have assembled an excellent group of community news publishers over the past 15 months and combining them together under the Civitas umbrella is a logical and value-enhancing result,” stated Versa’s CEO Gregory L. Segall. “Community-based media has remained profitable and largely avoided the level of financial pressure experienced by large daily metros in recent years. They are the principal source of information and news content as well as the primary advertising vehicles for their communi-ties, whether in print or online, and we see a more stable and resilient future for this sector.”

Civitas, which now employs 1,650 people at 47 locations across 11 states in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and South, serves its communities through its dedi-cation to the delivery of local informa-tion, including news and advertising solutions, across a variety of platforms. These communities are served by 36 local daily newspapers including 19 with weekend editions as well as 76 weekly products. These papers have a combined average weekly circulation of 1.6 mil-lion. Civitas also serves these communi-ties with numerous free, advertisement supported publications and a growing on-line presence. In addition, Civitas publishes specialty products such as local community directories, wine magazines, regional agricultural publications, realty publications, local entertainment guides and on-line magazines and SEO solu-tions.

The merged organization is led by CEO Michael Bush, formerly the CEO of group member Heartland Publications, and Chief Operating Officer Scott Champion, formerly the CEO of group member Ohio Community Media. The capitaliza-tion and working capital requirements of the business are supported by a new $62.5 million multi-bank senior term loan and revolving credit facility led by RBS Citizens, N.A.

Bush commented, “I am very excited to be working with Versa Capital, which has assembled a valuable collection of community media assets and has a repu-tation for supporting its companies both financially and operationally. Civitas has a promising future as a media company, and is well positioned to further benefit from the eventual recovery of U.S. eco-

EASLEY—If you have been keeping track with national news, there is a good chance you have caught a glimpse of some of the riots currently taking place in the Middle East.

Attacks were conducted on the United States Embassy in Cario recently, killing sev-eral Americans and causing a uproar in riots.

Dangerous news like this hits close to home for Easley resident Raye Harville, whose parents are United States Diplomats in Iraq.

“My first reaction was of concern for Muslim people living in America,” said Harville. “The average American is so shel-tered from the rest of the world it’s hard for them to empathize with a culture that’s so vastly different. I still worry the radi-cal Americans will take it out on innocent bystanders for being Muslim or looking like they come from the Middle East.”

Harville says she believes it was only “radi-cals” who conducted these attacks, and says they are in the minority.

“I believe the minority group of Islamic radicals is just that- a minority,” said Harville. “For them, it seemed fitting to protest on the anniversary of the WTC attacks. I don’t believe the so called ‘anti-American’ senti-ment has intensified. To me, the minority has always been there with that sentiment, but this time their actions gave them a voice the world could hear.”

Harville says that while she is concerned for her parents’ safety, she is also proud.

“There are cities in Iraq getting bombed every day, while others the worst you come across are cobras, scorpions, and camel spi-ders. I will always be concerned for my parents’ safety. But I am extremely proud of them,” she said. “I know the majority of Middle Eastern people, Islamic and Christian alike, are everyday people. They have the same dreams and desires as Americans do- wanting to be doctors, have families, be able to afford nice things. Those are the people my parents get to work with and help, those are the people they are focusing on and try-ing to help get back on their feet.”

“I trust my parents to know what to do in a bad situation, and if their commitment to serving our country costs them (and me) the ultimate price, then I will know they died trying to bring understanding to both sides of the world and bridge the gap of distrust with education, trust, and acceptance,” she continued.

Harville says she is often concerned about the escalating protests so close to her parents.

“It’s the escalation that concerns me. Every embassy and consulate are protected by gates and guarded by Marine Security Guards who are trained to deal with this type of situation,” said Harville. “It’s shocking to me how the protesters were able to scale the wall in Cairo and ultimately kill Ambassador Christopher Stevens and several others.”

As for now, Harville is simply trying to convey a message of peace to her local neighbors.

“The people in Pickens County should try to understand the actions of a few do not speak for the many,” she said. “So many people are heartbroken over the deaths of the Americans- the Egyptians and Libyans flood-ed the streets and held up signs proclaiming their condolences.”

“Pickens County parents need to take a second to think about what they say to their children. If they keep planting the seeds of distrust in their kids, then the only thing that will grow is distain towards others who are different. Those kids will be just as arrogant and ignorant as the radicals who spread hate and fear.”

ties in Middle East riots

Pickens — Event officials announced final plans for this Saturday’s Founders Day Music Festival in Pickens. The free event will begin at 10 a.m. and end around 9 p.m.

The event schedule and plan illus-trates the many activities, and the 11 hours of music, that people can enjoy that day. Hundreds of roots musicians, including old time, coun-try, blue grass and folk, will descend on Pickens. Eleven bands will be featured on the Blue Ridge stage. Individual and groups are expected to jam, at will, up and down Main Street throughout the day. Early evening will bring all musicians together to set what is expected to be a record-setting jam.

Non-musical activities now include numerous “lost craft’ experts providing demonstrations on blacksmithing, cotton ginning, quilting, musical instrument con-struction, gunsmithing, and more. Special activities, such as face-painting and traditional games, will entertain the kids. The new “Turtles On The Town” tour will guide visitors to various historical sites around Pickens. Vendors will offer traditional arts and crafts as well as food and beverage such as homemade ice cream.

Andrew Pickens will be there throughout the day to tell of his life and have photos taken with him. Specially selected vintage vehicles will be on display. The Pickens County Historical Society will dis-

play a large model of the downtown monument that will be construct-ed to honor the city’s namesake. The Hagood-Mauldin House and the Pickens County Museum will be open for special tours. Living history reenactments of the War Between the States will be pre-sented, on the hour, at Bruce Field. A special shuttle will run between Main Street and the stadium.

The Pickens County Museum will offer several unique events just for Founders Day. Jeanette Moody will be demonstrating quilting in front of the Settlers Cabin exhibit. Daniel Brennan, as an authentic Confederate soldier, will read his-torical letters as part of the “War Between The States” exhibit, and Nick Hallman, Heritage Award winning musician, will offer Appalachian style fiddle playing in front of the “Music of Pickens County” exhibit

Organized by the Pickens Revitalization Association, Founders Day Music Festival gener-ous sponsors include the Historic City of Pickens, Cornell Dubilier, Blue Ridge Electric Co-op, Hiott For SC House, Nestfeathers Gallery of Art, Great Oaks Dental, Pickens Guitar Company and the Roper Law Firm. Other event contribu-tors include the Carmicals, Senator Larry Martin, TD Bank and Pizza Inn. For additional information, visit www.historicpickens.com or contact the PRA office at 864-878-0105.

PICKENS COUNTY—The potential conversion of the Doodle Railway into a recreational trail has drawn major discussion from local communities in recent weeks.

Members of Pickens County Council, however, ensured citizens this week that they remained neutral on the topic.

“We haven’t done any-thing other than send the concept to committee, which means we can then begin to have some discus-sions,” said Council Chair Jennifer Willis. “We’ve had some staff do some back-ground research in antici-pation of having some conversations, but Council has not taken a position and we don’t have enough information to make a decision at this point.”

Willis says there are still so many unknowns that they will need to address first.

“We know that there are a lot of things to consider, and we know we don’t

even have our arms around what those are yet,” said Willis. “That’s what our staff is gathering data for right now.”

Councilman Neil Smith says he wants people to know that this process is still in the early stages.

“This is the second meeting that we’ve had a large number of people come and talk to us about the Rails to Trails pro-gram, and to my knowl-edge, we’re not trying to buy that property,” said Smith. “It’s not our intent to be competing with the City of Easley and the City of Pickens in this whole process.”

For Smith personally, he says the issue would be about money.

“When people ask me on the street, ‘Are you in favor of the Rails to Trails program,’ I say ‘In favor of what?’” said Smith. “I’m a numbers guy, so when someone asks if I’m in favor of it, the first thing I want to know is how much it’s going to cost.”

Councilman Sam Wyche agreed, saying there has

been a lot of talk and Council has yet to take action.

“There’s a lot of mis-information,” said Wyche.

“We have not discussed it. I’ve tried to bring it up because I’ve done some research on it so we could know what we are talking

about.”Smith says he believes

that the City of Easley will likely make a move on the property.

“If you would ask me on the street, I would tell you, most likely, that it’s going to be sold to the City of Easley,” said Smith. “There’s nothing that would prohibit the City of Easley from doing that. I don’t want the public to think that we’re going to make the final decision on that because we’re not.”

Wyche insured local res-idents that Council will try to make a careful decision on the trail.

“The City of Easley and the City of Pickens are going forward with this whether we do or not,” said Wyche. “If we could help underwrite it that would be great, but we’re not going to do anything stupid. Some people have kind of implied that we’re going to spend a million dollars on you can even turn around.”

Approximately 200 Pickens business leaders came together Thursday to celebrate raising more than three quarters of a million for aid agencies through the United Way of Pickens County.

Local compa-nies raised $781,000 through employee dona-tions, corporate giving and special projects. Representatives of those companies met to cel-ebrate their success for te past year and kickoff new fundraising.

Meeting in the the Dining Commons at Southern Wesleyan University, local United Way staff announced fundraising awards for 2011 and what they describe as Pacesetter Awards for 2012. Pacesetter awards typi-caly serve as a kickoff to fundraising for the coming year. “We try to know by May what we have to work with so our agencies (organiza-tions UnitedWay gives to ) will know what they have to work with,” said

Candi Smith, vice presi-dent of resource devel-opment. Those in atten-dance at the function paid for their own lunch.

No goal is announced for campaign, which runs year round for organizations that raise money for United Way. Companies that partici-pate have made a prac-tice of keeping activities going throughout the year.

Highlights of the awards include CSI (Computer Software Innovations) ofEasley that increased employ-ee giving 62 percent in 2011-2012. Employees learned ofthe campaign through a company breakfast presentation and the company gave incentive gift.

Palmetto Bank was a new participant in 2011-2012 fundraising offering employees the opportunity to give as a group, organizing a silent auction and a ser-vice project.

Palmeto Plating matched employee dona-tions dollar for dollar, helping to raise that compaines giving 45

percent. Pickens County administration allowed presentations to each county department. That opportunity to show more individuals the opportunity to give helped increase county employee giving by 29 percent, Smith said.

Southern Wesleyan University has not typically run a cam-paign. Employee giving ncreased 156 percent 2010 to 2011, however. For 2012, the univer-sity is identified as a Pacesetter, helping to focus attention on ways for other United Way participants to raise money.

Six companies were recognized for high-est employee giving. Baptist Easley hospi-tal, Blue Rdge Electric Cooperative, Clemson University, Duke Energy, School District of Pickens County and Shaw Industries raised $329,420.

Cornell Dubilier gave $23,416 on a corporate basis, a match of employ-ee giving for a total cam-paign of $46,832.

Publix gave $11,700

corporately. Combining that with giving from the companies 100 employ-ees in the county gave Publix a county cam-paign total of $38,794.

Setting te pace for the coming year are Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative already raising $30,000 for United Way, combining

a $4,500 corporate gift and more than $25,000 in employee giving. 87 percent of employees gave something with a percapita giving of $296.

Cornell Dubilier matched employee giv-ing fo a total Pacesetter campaign of $43,000.

SCBT ad a combined campaign of $15,500,

setting the pace for per capita giving of $264.

Shaw Industries ad combined giving og more than $32,000.

Saw Industries claimed the United Way pacesetter Award by increaing corporate and employee giving, special events, conducting pre-sentations.

District one schools in Anderson County is undergoing a safety modi-fication and improvement plan.

“Safe Routes To School” is a federal program of the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) designed to provide a safe means of walking and bik-ing to and from school.

In order to utilize the program, each school district must apply for funding and is eligible to receive up to $200,000 with $20,000 of the total sum designated for edu-cational materials such as safe walking and biking pamphlets, balloons and other hand-outs.

District one in Anderson County received the full $200,000 and designed a three phased project to improve school routes around all three of the Wren Schools.

“Wren Elementary, Wren Middle, and Wren High School in district one of Anderson County are all affected by the project and are within a quarter mile of one another,” said Principal Engineer for Anderson County Road and Bridges Department, Judy Shelato. “The side-walk program, of which we have completed two phases, has developed community between the schools and that area.”

Phase two of the project was completed July 31, of this year and utilized the remaining $180,000 of the fund made possible by the Program.

“The Safe Routes To School” money funded phase two of the three phased project. Phase one was completed in 2007 using enhancement fund-ing through the SCDOT,” said Shelato.

Enhancement funding is federal money assigned to landscaping along roadways, biking and pedestrian facilities.

Anderson County quali-fied for enhancement money due to the merit of the project which is based on relative need and impact.

“Phase one of the project connected Wren Middle to Wren High and from Wren Middle to Hwy 81, and by doing that, we con-nected two subdivisions and Hurricane park,” said Shelato. “In phase two, we improved the pedestrian crossing between Wren High and Wren Middle by building a refuge island, and we installed a sidewalk around the High School and along Laroache road to connect the High School to the Elementary School.”

Phase three of the proj-ect will continue the side-walk along Laroache road to Roper road, and finally to Wren School road to the complete the loop around all three schools.

The funding for phase three is still in question

An estimated 2,000 people were on hand for Saturday’s 16th annual Ole Time Fiddlin’ Convention, witnessing the revival of the state fiddlers competi-tion.

The event at Hagood Park north of Pickens also featured historic displays

around the historic grist mill site and losts of sun-shine. Musicians, family and Old Time music lov-ers brought their folding chairs and mad a day of it.

Park director and con-vention organizer Allen Coleman said mucicians came from all over North Carolina,’t been a South Carolina and Georgia to compete in band and individual performance of the roots music of the hill country shared by the regions.

A major change in this year’s event is the addition of the state fiddlers com-petition.

“There hasn’t been a South Carolina fiddlers Competion since 1964,” Coleman said. “”We are reviving it.” 16 fiddlers cameto participate for that title.

Alan Dillman of Saluda , NC was among them. “I play to play. If I try to com-pete, I don’t” He started into Old Time Music atthe age of 12, took some time

off after getting married and picked up th fiddle about 15 years ago.

Bob Beckingham came from Greer to participate. He thinks the state fid-dlers competition and the PickensCounty Convention are important for preserva-tion of the music. “The music is staying. People are interested in it. He completed a group of about a dozen young fiddle students, sending them off to college this year.

Old Time musicians travel many of the same circuits and know one another or make easy con-nections on a porch or in a patch of shade and play music together.

Rocky Bottom Blue Grass is a group pf Pickens players including guitar-ists fiddlers, banjo pickers, dobro players and spoons player. They spend the third Satrday ofthe month during the summers play-ing music at Hagood Mill.

Peggy Cooper of Pickens attended with her

dog Monkey and friend Steve Sear of Easley, who brought his little dog Whickey. Sear also plays double bass.

“I think there ought to be more things like this,” Cooper said. ” I can ardly believe this is free and so much fun. It is hard for a family to find entertain-ment they can afford these days.

Competition Winners

East End Elementary students are treated to a visit from Easley High School football players and cheerlead-ers each Friday morn-ing.

The football players and cheerleaders greet the students and wel-come them to school.

They participate in the Friday morning

announcements, lead the students in the pledge of allegiance and visit the classes. Mrs. Toshia Leisten’s first graders are pic-tured with EHS play-ers and cheerleaders on a recent visit to East End. It is a highlight for the elementary stu-dents each Friday.

This partnership is

one of the many ways the schools within the Easley area are working together to promote success for all students as the elementary stu-dents are encouraged as they relate to students who are in the high school they will attend. The outreach by EHS helps the students real-ize some of the many

wonderful opportun-ties ahead as they will feed into Easley High School in the future as they finish elementary and middle school.

In turn, the high school students are cheered to victory and success by the elemen-tary students. Fridays are special as EHS reaches out to EEE.

Opinion

We hope we lose this contest so we can have

a better chance to win when it counts.”

Does that comment sound like something from Olympic badminton players during the recent London games? They were trying to lose some preliminary match-es because losing would get them a better draw in the next round.

What does this badminton scandal have to do with politics?

Some people in both parties want their presi-dential candidates to lose the 2012 election because they think that would improve their chances for a decisive and more significant win in 2016.

First, there is a little ripple from disaffected conservative Republicans who do not think Mitt Romney is strong on their issues. He is not “un-moderate” enough for them. They do not believe he will stand up and fight for their agenda should he become presi-dent.

For them, Romney is really just a part of the establishment and only pretending to be a true conservative. Not only would his election not make a positive differ-ence, they worry it might set their movement back for years.

They might be think-ing, if Romney loses, then after four more years of Obama, the country will be ready for the kind of real change they believe it needs. In 2016, the time would be ripe for a presidential candidate who is a real conservative, somebody they can trust to stand and fight their battles and put the country in order.

Maybe you have heard this kind of thinking whispered by hard-line Tea Party types and the Ron Paul or Sarah Palin supporters, and even more quietly from some people who sup-ported Rick Santorum or Michele Bachmann in the primaries.

Some Democrats are quietly smiling about this thinking. A few might even be trying to figure out how to encourage it. Their efforts would be psychological warfare to diminish the enthu-siasm of the Republican troops, the same tactics Tokyo Rose used with her broadcasts during

World War II, saying any-thing that would under-mine the morale of the American soldiers.

Democrats have their own problems with this better-not-to-win-now thinking.

Some Democrats, look-ing at another four years of an Obama presidency, ask whether they want to

suffer through four more years like the last two, when Republicans con-trolling the House of Representatives blocked every

Obama initiative.These discouraged

Democrats think that the deadlock would continue if Obama were reelected. Thus, any progressive efforts dur-ing Obama’s second term would be stymied, and it would be impossible for Obama to develop a compromise approach to the country’s budget and debt crisis. Thus, they reason, a Democratic win in November would be a wasted victory.

What Democrats need to do, they might be thinking, is to let the crazies who control the Republican Party win the presidency in 2012, take over the government, and put their programs in place. After four years of Republican and Tea Party government, the American public would be ready to bring back Obama on a red carpet in 2016, give him a Congress stripped of the Tea Party, and give him a powerful mandate for progressive action. That kind of election victory, they reason, would be worth fighting for, and worth waiting for.

Maybe this line of thinking does not make sense to you. But it has an appeal to some frus-trated Democrats. Their better-not-to-win-now reasoning and their ongo-ing frustration could lead them to stay at home this November.

Clever Republican psy-chological warriors might figure out ways to exploit these frustrations.

If so, there could be Tokyo Roses working all sides of the political battleground this year trying to take advantage of the badminton-player thinkers in both political parties.D.G.

No one can deny that our people are a giving people. We also need to be an investing people, investing in efforts that change our local economy.

The Ride for MAC, United Way, blood drives, Mary’s House, The Hunger Coalition, church-es, scout groups, school kids taking cans of food to help the hungry. They are all looking out for others and trying to fill needs they see around us. They are neighbors help-ing their neighbors.

And there are a lot of neighbors who need help.

Many groups count the numbers. Homeless school children number in

the thousands. People live out of their cars in large parking lots. Family mem-bers take in family mem-bers for as long as they can, then the homeless ones move on somewhere else. Pickens County people die prematurely because they can’tafford health care and they put off seeking medical help for something that is obvi-ously wrong.

One church in our com-munity 5 Point Church operates a food bank that serves 400 families on a monthly basis. You could easily count that as 1,500 to 2,000 people who need help with food. And that is just what one church

does.The poor will always be

with us we are told and those with resources will always need help those without resources.

So somehow we need to invest in ways to create a better economic climate.

In Pickens and north-ern Anderson counties that means finding ways to invest in the infrastruc-ture, roads, water lines etc that will be essential for continued job growth.

We need to invest in schools and colleges young people — and older, more experienced people — the knowlege on which to base creative thoughts about future

business vetures. We need to be looking for more ways to bring people who have money here to spend it.

Easley and Pickens city governments are find-ing ways to bring people with money here through marketing and creating attractive destinations and events.

Corporations have cer-tainly invested in stu-dents and institutions of higher learning. Will they continue to do that at adequate levels. Who is going to repair crum-bling roads and bridges that have been a backbone of local economy for a generation?

Investing in our future

To the editor:In the midst of this political season, I am disappoint-

ingly struck by the tremendous amount of money being spent on two presidential campaigns and other federal, state, and local campaigns.

I believe this not only saddens me, but tens of millions of Americans. Viewing this tremendous amount of money being spent by so few people seeking political offices, I feel driven to write this letter.

Considering how most of the salaries for these politi-cal offices pale in comparison to the money spent to gain these offices, I truly believe that most Americans have taken off their blinders to realize just how much under-handedness and corruption exists in all levels of our gov-ernment.

Americans are no longer idealistic or faithful about our government officials being pure and willing to go all out to help each and every citizen regardless of our financial status. There can be no doubt that money buys access to government policies, and therefore, campaign contribu-tions are, in actuality, investments in rich and powerful peoples’ futures!

Is there any wonder why so many voters don’t bother to vote? Are my views cynical or truth? Can American government, at all levels, be guilty of some of the biggest white collar crimes on Earth? Just some questions to pon-der during this political season.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

When the last national census was taken in 2010, 48 per-

cent of the population was classified as poor or low-income (earning less than 200 percent of the poverty level). Anyone who’s ever tried to live on a low income knows how difficult it can be to make ends meet when cost increases for essentials like healthcare, housing, food and energy outpace their earnings. This can be espe-cially challenging for seniors living on a fixed income.

The good news is there are literally thousands of fed-eral, state and private assis-tance programs designed to help seniors and others cover their basic needs. Your challenge might be finding ones for which you’re eli-gible. Here are a few sug-gestions:

The nonprofit National Council on Aging offers BenefitsCheckUp (www.benefitscheckup.org), a free, confidential web-based ser-vice that helps seniors and their caregivers find finan-cial assistance for health-care, housing, food, utilities, in-home services and much more. After answering sever-

al questions, you’re issued a personalized report describ-ing programs and services for which you may be eli-gible, including links to their websites and applications.

Several government-sponsored programs help people with limited income and resources pay for med-ical coverage, includ-ing Medicaid and

Medicare. For a good round-up of these programs, go to www.medicare.gov and click on “Get Financial Help.”

Most pharmaceutical companies offer patient assistance programs (PAPs) that provide uninsured and low-income people access to prescription drugs they couldn’t otherwise afford. Ask your doctor, pharmacist or health clinic for details. Other good resources include: Medicare’s alpha-betical list of drugs available through PAPs (www.medi-care.gov/pap/index.asp); Partnership for Prescription Assistance (www.pparx.org); RxAssist (www.rxas-sist.org); and NeedyMeds (www.needymeds.com).

In addition, as a result of the Affordable Care Act, Medicare Part D participants who reach the so-called doughnut hole coverage gap

now receive a 50 percent discount on brand-name prescription drugs and a 14 percent discount on gener-ics. (These discounts will gradually increase until 2020 when the doughnut hole will disappear altogether.)

The IRS tax code includes several benefits that target seniors (and often, other lower-income taxpayers), including:

A higher standard deduc-tion amount for most people who don’t itemize deduc-tions if they and/or their spouse are over 65 or blind.

An additional tax credit for lower-income people who are over 65 or disabled and file a 1040 or 1040A tax form. (For full details and eli-gibility, see IRS Publication 524 at www.irs.gov.)

Free tax return prepara-tion assistance and counsel-ing from IRS-trained volun-teers is available to people over age 60, as well as low-to-moderate income folks and military families.

IRS Publication 554 pro-vides comprehensive help for seniors to prepare their tax returns.

Many government-spon-sored benefits, grants and financial aid programs exist to help seniors, low-income families and others pay their

bills, including:LIHEAP (Low-Income

Home Energy Assistance Program) provides grants to help pay utility bills. To see if you qualify, go to www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ocs/liheap.

SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) helps millions of lower-income Americans buy nutritious food each month. Visit www.fns.usda.gov/snap for qualification requirements.

Rental assistance for low-income families is available from several U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development programs as well as other state and local agencies (see www.hud.gov/renting/index.cfm for details).

Go to www.usa.gov/Citizen/Topics/Benefits.shtml for a comprehensive overview of additional aid programs.

And of course, don’t for-get to ask about senior dis-counts whenever you shop, travel or buy insurance – 10 percent here and there can really add up.Jason Alderman directs Visa’s financial education programs. To Follow Jason Alderman on Twitter: www.twitter.com/PracticalMoney.

Seeing her life after seven years of domes-tic abuse, Deborah Lemmons, says she was “lost and didn’t know what life could be like” without constant insults, fear and threats with a gun.

Lemmons is now the resident manager of Mary’s House, a shelter for female victims of domestic violence and their children. Now she spends her time helping women from throughout the upstate who find themselves in similar situations.

Back then she went through a period of what she describes as progres-sive control, insults, deg-radation, isolation and death threat at the hands of a man she one time thought she could trust.

In the end of the rela-tionship, he did jail time for trying to shoot her in a drunken rage.

He came pretty close, according to Lemmons, who survived a bullet that came within a foot of her head. The second time he took aim at er head, the gun jammed and she was able to get away to her car.

Now she will say, “I am happy as I have ever been. “She helps take in woman at Mary’s House tring to give them direc-tion to the places that offer a way out.

Many of the women need a place to stay until they can make connec-tions to family who can take them into a safe environment. Some of the women need longer term assistance, direc-tion toward finding a way of supporting them-selves, shorterm access to health care and legal aid.

All need to talk talk. So she spends a lot of time listening to their stories. “The stories have so many similari-ties,” Lemmons said. “ut each woman and situa-tion is different. We try to help them find what they need.”

Ask her why she stayed in the situation that to many seems to outsiders

as obvious bad news and Lemmons answers dont come easily, even after a year of being away from it and many sessions of counseling. “I was lost in it,” she said. “It came on so slowly, I guess I didn’t realize what was happening.”

He started out for a coupe of years as being someone she could trust she said. He started with insults and degrading comments. Isolation was a part of it. “I would-talk to my sister some on the phone. She would know that something wasn’t right. I’d just say to her,’I’ll tell you about it later.’ He was, is and alcoholic. Then one time he shoved me,” she said. The frequency and intensity of the violence became worse.

“I could tell when he was in a bad mood. I would go into the bed-room and just sit on the bed. One time suted into the room and he had his shotgun and he pointed it at my head and said he was going to kill me. I still didn’t believe that he really would.”

Then one night he went into a rage and turned over a recliner chair pinning her to the floor with his knees.

“He shoved a pistol into my mouth and I couldn’t breathe I was so scared. He was so drunk, I was ableto push him off.”

When he stood over her again, he fired missing her by inch-es, Lemmons said. “I couldn’t move. He point-ed it at me again and when he pulled the trig-ger, the gun jammed,” Lemmons said.

She spent several-months after that travel-ing between family mem-bers for places to stay.

When that became impossible for her, she found Mary’s House.

“I remember the night I first saw her,” Mary’s House Director Lisa Smith said. “She was quiet. Often times they don’t trust anyone. Her anner was not confident. She is a different person today, very confident and outspoken,” Smith said.

Domestic violence victims finds new life, helps others

None us knows who the next president will be, but with any luck, a Crosswell Elementary School 5th grader will watch him be inauguart-ed.

Well luck and some money.

Jordan Reed and her family are trying to raise money to help the her accept an invitation to a leadership program that will allow her to study governmental practices, the electoral process and how laws are made.

Along the way, she’ll have the opportunity to meet former First Lady Laura and her daughter Jenna Bush.

The opportunity fol-lows a summertime lead-ership leadership pro-gram at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill called the National Young Scholars program.

Jordan was nominated for that expeience by her 4th grade teacher Melanie Johnson. Johnson reguar-ly nominates students

who have potential to be accepted to the program, but Jordan was the first to attend from this area.

At the session at Chapel Hill, Jordan said she studied CSI, medi-cine and engineering and was involved in daily leadership and team-building exercises.

She was most interest-ed in CSI techniques in which they studied some of the science used by criminal investigators. She did a blood test and a group did a role play-ing exercise to study how each character in

a criminal investigation might act.

She seemed to like the scinece most and enjoyed the medical study. Combining engi-neering and medicine for a career intrigues her, she said.

Leadership is a char-acteristic that stands out in Jordan said 4th grade teacher Johnson and Crosswell school Principal Traci Boyles. If she is in a group, stu-dents look to her to help with the answers to a task, Boyles said. “Even when she is assigned a

role that is not for a lead-er the students turn to her for answers,” Boyles said. “Jordan stands out in leadership and the way she carries herself and the way she speaks,” Boyles said.

One thing that has helped her be the way she is is her family’s suport and involment, Boyles said.

Johnson sees that and something else that she describes as “an internal motivation” that helps Jordan shine as a stu-dent.

Cost of the trip is between $3,500 and $4,000 says Jordan’s grandmother, Janice Simpson, who funded the Chapel Hill trip. She is seeking the help of area businesses that might help defray costs.

The Crosswel l Elementary PTA facili-tating fundraising for the effort, said Simpson. Checks can be made to Crosswell Elementary School PTA, Special Projects, Jordan Reed, 161 School Road, Easley, SC 29642.

Sports legend and local resident, Sam Wyche, has been selected as this month’s recipient of the “I Fan the Flame” award.

The award was created by the City of Pickens and the Pickens Revitalization Association (PRA) to honor selected individuals who have given back to the community and who strive to make Pickens a better place.

“I am sure that there is a long line of people more deserving than I am to receive this award. My wife and I have been in Pickens since 1999 and have wanted to get involved in

different charitable organizations and have, but I am just one of doz-ens trying to make Pickens a better place to live,” said Wyche.

His wife, Jane, is a native of Pickens, a former cheerleader at Pickens High, and was selected as Miss Pickens in 1960.

He and his wife volunteer for such local organizations as Pendleton Place and Parenting Place.

Wyche holds degrees from both Furman University and the University of South Carolina and spent nearly three decades in the National Football League where he played and coached in several Super Bowls.

Along with Atlanta Braves third baseman, Chipper Jones, Wyche is a spokesperson for the Rally Foundation which helps to raise money for child cancer research.

He is a board member of the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the founder of the Pickens-Easley Food Fight Bowl for Meals on Wheels.

“It’s people like Sam whose investment into the community contribute to the overall feeling of unity. The award celebrates these contributions,” said Executive Director of the PRA, Kristen Henry.

Wyche is the seventh recipient of the award.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2012:

This year you will be encouraged to greet change with greater ease. If you fight progress, you could encounter your share of bumps along the way. Learn to let go, and head down the path that greets you with energy and optimism. If you are single, you meet more people than usual. You will fall into an intense tango with many of your potential sweeties. Take your time deciding. If you are attached, nothing seems to be a “maybe” or an “if.” You will find that everything is either black or white. Hopefully, you will be on the same page. SCORPIO is nothing if not deep and mysterious.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Deal with others directly.

You might not like what comes down the path, but know that you can trans-form a situation. Emotions expressed could help everyone involved. Strong energy directs you. Push as hard as possible to get a project done. Tonight: Listen to a suggestion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Others clearly command the

stage. You will be very happy if you do not try to interfere with this trend. An unexpected change encourages you to let go of what has not been working. You have tinkered to get this situation more in sync, to no avail. Tonight: Just do not be alone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)HHH You want to mix in a happier

or more social part of your life. You could be jolted by what heads your way. The unexpected forces you to transform the way you deal with a key person. As a result, you might decide to open up. Tonight: Handle a personal matter.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)HHHHH Your creativity opens you

up to a new possibility when faced with a difficult and unpredictable situ-ation. You feel good and empowered. Share some of your more intense feelings. Indirectly, you mobilize others by revealing more. Tonight: Paint the town red.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH A sudden insight or new

information heads your way. You might want to slow down, as this novel perspective could change a lot in your daily life. For a while, make fewer com-mitments until you review certain facets of your life. A close friend or associate could become insecure. Do your best

to let this person know your feelings. Tonight: Mosey on home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be seeing a

situation very differently from in the past. You’ll discover that a person you counted on no longer is predictable. He or she has been more uptight and now chooses more off-the-wall ideas and actions. Tonight: Visit with a pal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Be aware of how much you

offer. Sometimes you give away too much of yourself. The unexpected impacts your daily life. You can work with sudden change, yet something within you seems to be building. Could it have to do with a loved one? Tonight: Treat yourself well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Be more upbeat, and

work with a child or very lively friend. Sudden ideas come from out of left field. Discuss them before you act. Impulsiveness plays a strong role in what goes on. Tonight: Ask for what you want with the expectation of receiving it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might want to step back

from a sudden change involving your domestic or personal life. You could be wondering what might be best to do. Take a hard look at your finances before making a decision. Above all else, do not rush into anything. Tonight: Chill out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH An unexpected situation

could create a lot of tension. What you can be sure of is that stability is not an option, especially in your home or personal life. Express your feelings to someone who seems to understand you. Tonight: Where your friends are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might want to take a

break from a demanding situation. Unfortunately, that option is not on the table right now. A heart-to-heart talk could shock you and prevent you from moving forward with a key situation. Learn to say “no” more often. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH If you feel uncomfortable by

what you are hearing, you might want to pull back some and make your own decisions. In fact, you really might not want any more input at this moment. You could feel at odds with certain events happening around you. Tonight: Where you can let your mind wander.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE CONTESTANTS!!!


L I B E R T Y — T h e Liberty High football team earned its third win of the season against a feisty Powdersville squad last Friday, using its running game to grind out a 37-14 vic-tory.

Liberty Head Coach Kyle Stewart says he was proud of his team in their first region appearance.

“We have seven region games this year and they are all very important,” said Stewart. “You’ve got tough ones coming up and it’s good to get off to a good start. We only had three non-region games, and you always say that you want to be playing your best ball when the conference starts. With a short non-conference schedule it was good to get out with a win.”

The Red Devils jumped out to a quick lead, scor-ing twice in the open-ing minutes of the first half. Powdersville would battle back before the half; however, using the

big play to notch two scores of its own. Liberty went into halftime with a 17-14 advantage after a field goal.

“I was pleased with them at half time. Defensively we made some adjustments, but offensively we didn’t know what they were going to do,” said Powdersville Head Coach Robert Mustar. “I was pleased with effort, but we didn’t get what we wanted. We’re proud of our kids we’ve just got to find a way to win.”

A strong Red Devil running game, led by quarterback Brandon Alexander, took con-trol in the second half, and the Liberty defense never allowed another score.

“We usually do well in the late third and fourth quarters after we kind of pounded it most of the night,” said Stewart. “We had a couple of big plays here and there that ulti-mately led to scores, but (Powdersville) should hold their heads up because that was a heck

of a defense effort.”Stewart says he was

pleased with his team’s second half performance.

“We had a good second half,” said Stewart. “We got after it pretty well. We messed up a few cov-erages in the first half, and that scheme they run on offense executed well. We had to be on top of our game, and we have to make sure with some tough competition com-ing down the road that we correct mistakes.”

Still in search of their first win, the Patriots begin region play 0-1. Mustar, however, says he found some hope on Friday night.

“I’m never going to question their effort,” said Mustar. “If they go out and compete, sell out the whole game, and don’t leave anything on the field, that’s all you can ask for out of any of your kids. We’re going to get some wins.”

Stewart s ays Powdersville will be a force to be reckoned with in the future.

“Obviously they are a

lot of young guys and there are some talent-ed players right there,” said Stewart. “That scares you for the future because they are going to do nothing but get better. They’re going to continue to get better, and some of these guys that are just sophomores are going to have three full years of varsity foot-ball. There is a lot to be said for experience in high school football.”

Despite the loss, Mustar hopes his team can show resilience in the weeks to come.

“We’ve got six more games guaranteed,” said Mustar. “If you want to go to the playoffs, you’re going to have to start getting some wins and that’s what we’ve got to work on right away. We’ve got to get over this one quick.”

Liberty will travel to Landrum this Friday in search of its fourth win, while Powdersville hopes to find victory at home against Crescent.

Both games will kick off at 7:30 p.m.

Liberty grinds out win over PowdersvilleLiberty found its third win of the season against Powdersville last Friday night.


PICKENS—After get-ting blown out in the first two games of the season, the Pickens High football team has managed to turn things completely around and move its record to an even 2-2 on the year with its latest victory over Travelers Rest.

Riding momentum from their key victory over Liberty two weeks ago, the Blue Flame domi-nated the Devil Dogs in every fashion in route to a 42-6 win.

Despite the lopsided final score, Pickens got out to an ugly start, fumbling on its first pos-session and allowing a Travelers Rest touchdown that put the Blue Flame behind 6-0 early.

Two rushing touch-downs from Angus Anderson gave Pickens a 14-6 advantage at the break, and the Blue Flame

would only continue their offensive showcase in the second half.

Cameron Holder punched in another score to open the second half, moving the Pickens advan-tage to 21-6. Anderson reeled off a 78-yard touchdown run shortly after that gave his team a three score lead. Antron Wakefield and Austin Clark also got themselves into the scoring column with late touchdowns for Pickens.

After struggling on offense in their first two games against Easley and Pendleton, the Blue Flame have bounced back to register 59 points in the last two contests.

A three game road stint is finally over for Pickens, as they will head back home to face Eastside this Friday. The Blue Flame will then hit the road again on September, 28 to face the Bulldogs of Berea.

Blue Flame travel to dominate Travelers

Rest on the road

Pickens secured its second win of the season of Travelers Rest last Friday night.

T h e P i c ke n s Revitalization Association (PRA) has moved to its new location on Court St. in downtown.

The PRA is a non-profit organization dedi-cated to the preserva-tion, enhancement, and sustainable growth of Pickens’ historic down-town area.

Members of the orga-nization are hoping the move will provide a high-er degree of exposure to both the residents and visitors of Pickens.

The new location will feature a visitor’s cen-ter, business center, and office space available for sub-lease.

The business center will include print servic-es, design, fax, and the use of a conference room, while the visitor’s center will provide area informa-tion and Wi-Fi.

“The PRA’s new loca-tion will increase our vis-ibility on Main Street and

help promote Pickens as a destination. Our hope is that the new location will encourage people passing through Pickens to stop in and see what we have to offer,” said Executive Director of the PRA, Kristen Henry.

T h e P i c ke n s R e v i t a l i z a t i o n Association will be spon-soring several upcoming events in Pickens includ-ing the Founders Day Music Festival on Sep. 22, and in partnership with the Greater Pickens Chamber of Commerce, a

Merchant’s Meeting Oct. 8, at Café Connections on Main Street in Downtown.

Pickens County adds another avenue for careBy Joe ToppeStaff Writer

Pickens County now has another outlet for those in need.

“Pass It Around Medical Supplies” collects unused medical supplies and distrib-utes them to those who cannot afford their supplies and have no medical insurance or those who have very little.

The organization’s founder, Judith Hollaway, has been in home healthcare for over six years and knows how difficult it can be for people in need to get certain, but essential medi-cal supplies.

“With the way the economy is, people don’t have the money to purchase these items, but I don’t want it to be something they can use exclusively, I want to make people aware of this

problem and be there for them in an emergency and provide the items offered by Pass It Around Medical Supplies,” said Hollaway.

The organization accepts

both financial donations and medical supply donations.

“You do not have to donate money. It’s about the supplies, I want the medical supplies that can be difficult to keep

up with like hand sanitizer, diapers, blue pads, and wound care items, “said Hollaway.

Supplies that are in high demand are:

Adult Diapers/PadsWipesBlue PadsTest Strips (Any Brand)Rubber glovesBath SuppliesHygiene ItemsPedi sure/EnsureHand SanitizerWound Care SuppliesGift CardsFor more information con-

Pickens Revitalization Association moves to a new location downtown


In an effort to make Pickens’ merchants aware of the Pickens Revitalization Association (PRA) and other city func-tions, the PRA and the Greater Pickens Chamber of Commerce will hold a Merchant’s Meeting this October.

“The meeting has sev-eral functions, one is to introduce the PRA to all of the merchants of Pickens and the other is to make them aware of what the PRA is doing as well as other activities going on in the commu-nity and how they may affect their businesses,” said Executive Director of the Greater Pickens Chamber of Commerce, Mike Parrott.

Café Connections in downtown Pickens will host the meeting at 8 AM

on Monday, October 8th.One of the primary

goals of both the Pickens Chamber of Commerce and the Pickens Revitalization Association is to improve the city of Pickens and rejuvenate its economy.

The meeting will pro-vide a forum for both the PRA and the Pickens Chamber of Commerce to address a variety of issues affecting the merchants of Pickens.

“As a chamber and as the PRA, we can listen to the existing merchants’ concerns,” said Parrott.

One of the key issues influencing downtown businesses and con-sumers is the arrival of Wal-Mart, and the PRA and the Chamber of Commerce is expecting that a portion of small businesses in Pickens will be affected.

“There is no doubt that

Wal-Mart will create a drop in sales for establish-ments along Main Street, but we can set them up with basic economic and marketing tools to help get people in the door,” said PRA Executive Director, Kristen Henry.

According to the PRA and the Pickens Chamber of Commerce, establish-ments along Main Street in downtown are ulti-mately safe due to the distinctive standard in which they serve.

“The residents of Pickens are already going to Wal-Mart in Central and in Easley, but a place like Bivens Hardware in Downtown Pickens is unique and has a unique market,” said Parrott.

For more informa-tion on the Merchant’s Meeting contact the Pickens Revitalization Association at 864-878-0105.

Merchant’s Meeting in Downtown Pickens


The Pickens Railway has officially filed for an abandonment exemption of the eight mile span of railway between the cities of Easley and Pickens.

In railroad abandonment, a railroad announces that it will no longer oper-ate on a particular portion of track once it has been given permission from the Surface Transportation Board in Washington, D.C.

Now that the Pickens Railway has abandoned the portion of track between Pickens and Easley, the cities have 30 days to officially declare inter-est in the stretch of railway.

The “Rails to Trails” project prop both Easley and Pickens purchasing the abandoned portion of the Pickens Railway and converting it into a multi-use trail system.

The Pickens Railway has submitted a purchase price of $500,000 to both Easley and Pickens for the portion of track, and both cities are willing to collaborate on the purchase and have

consulted with the same group of attor-neys that counseled Greenville County on their acquisition of the Swamp Rabbit Trail.

“We, as the city of Pickens, the council and administrator, are in agree-ment to purchase half of the railroad along with Easley,” said Pickens Mayor David Owens.

The purchase of the railway is intended to be a 50/50 split between the cities of Easley and Pickens.

“We, as the cities of Pickens and Easley, must now agree upon the pur-chasing terms dictated by the con-tract,” said Pickens City Administrator, Katherine Brackett.

“Catering to All Fishermen”

Outdoor Post


With the first big tro-phy deer just weeks away from being a reality, hunt-ers keeping the eye on the prize will want to know how to prevserve it.

Grover Bearden, an Easley taxidermist with national and statewide credentials has some basic ideas for those needing his service.

Bearden is one of 105 taxidermists in the nation ceritified by the National Taxidermy Association. He is on the board of directors of the South Carolina Association of Taxidermists. In 13 years of taxidermy study, he has claimed numerous state awards, including Best of Show Whitetail Deer and Best All Aroud Taxidermist in thestate for four years running.

He started taxidermy 13 years ago as a hobby and that grew into part time work and work for friends.

When his corporate job was eliminated in 2010, e was left with the option of finding more work on

the production line ordoing something he

enjoys. “I love my work. I have been very blessed to be ableto stay busy,” he said. He is about toget into his busiest times of the year, deer season.

Ending up with a good product relies on good research, knowing and implementing details and getting the harvested ani-mal to a controled envi-ronment quickly.

“Don’tdrive your tro-phy aroundall day show-ing it of to your buddies,” he said.” There is bacte-ria in the deer and if you don’t get it to a cooler or a freezer quickly, the hair may well start falling out.

As a general rule he suggests letting someone with experience skin the trophy annimal. If the deer is being used for it’s meat go ahead and skin it or get someone who knows how. “If you aren’tgoing to use the meat, say for animal like a fox, bobcat or coyote —get it to a cooler quickly and get it to the taxider-mist for skining.”

That lets the taxider-mist know important

specific measurements to replicate the skull size, distance between the eyes, shape ofthe skull, he said. If turning over the skinning to the taxi-dermist is not possible, taking some measure-ment will be essential in getting an accurate repro-ductions. The meaure-ments include tip of the nose to front cornerofthe eye, tip of the nose to front edge of the antler bur, tip of the nose to back of the ead wher skull ends. Other detailed mea-surements are shown in accompanying diagrams.

Studying anatomi-cal details of different animals i part of what helps him achieve better artistic results.He keeps books of photos of liv-ing examples of animals and uses the pictures to atch as close as he can to the subject of his work. Helooks for fine details like te setting of the eyes in a skull, the turn of a head or body posture on an animal.

Bearden owns nd operates Southland Taxidernmy Studio in Easley.

Award winning taxidermy

The much-anticipated start of the 2012 deer sea-son is underway in some parts of the state and South Carolina’s deer population is healthy and the season outlook is good. Although the deer harvest has been on a downward trend the last few years indicating that population levels have moderated, hunter success and deer har-vest rates remain good, according to Charles Ruth, S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Deer and Wild Turkey Program Coordinator.

Top counties for harvest in 2011 included Bamberg, Union, Calhoun, and Orangeburg with each of these counties exhib-iting harvest rates in excess of 15 deer per square mile. Very few areas in the United States consistently yield comparable harvest fig-ures. On the other hand, top counties for quality deer in 2011 included Aiken, Orangeburg, and Kershaw in the coast-al plain and Anderson, Pickens, and Saluda counties in the pied-mont. These results come as no surprise as these counties have historically produced good numbers of record entries.

Find out more about the 2011 deer harvest and 2012 antler records at the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources website.

Although there were no substantive changes made to deer hunting laws by the General Assembly this year, hunters should always

consult the annual Hunting and Fishing Rules and Regulation brochure that DNR pub-lishes each summer, said Ruth. This is particu-larly the case for hunt-ers that use the various Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) in the state.

South Carolina’s deer population expanded rapidly in the 1980’s and early 1990’s and it peaked in the late 1990’s at about 1,000,000 ani-mals. However, since 2002 the population has trended down with cur-rent figures being about 725,000 deer, a 25 per-cent decline from peak figures 10 years ago. The reduction can likely be attributable to a number of factors including habi-tat change. Although timber management activities stimulated significant growth in South Carolina’s deer population beginning in the 1970’s, considerable acreage is currently in even-aged pine stands that are greater than 10 years old, a situation that does not support deer densities at the same level as younger stands in which food and cover is more available.

Also, coyotes are a recent addition to the landscape and are another piece of the puzzle. DNR is current-ly involved in a major study with researchers at the Savannah River Site investigating the affects coyotes are having on the survival of deer fawns. Cumulative data throughout the study indicates approximately 70 percent total fawn mortality with coyotes

being responsible for approximately 80 per-cent of these mortalities. If these findings even moderately represent a statewide situation, this “new mortality factor” is clearly involved in the reduction in deer num-bers. This is especially true when combined with extremely liberal deer harvests that have been the norm in South Carolina. The study is currently in the process of determining if coyote control (trap/kill) leads to increased fawn sur-vival on the area.

Hunters should not be overly concerned if the deer population is down compared to several years ago when the pop-ulation reached its peak. Most hunters, to their credit, have recognized the fact that having fewer deer leads to bet-ter quality deer. Results of DNR’s antler scoring program indicate that this may indeed be the case as the last 5 years have seen approximately 1,000 bucks successfully entered into the state records program.

On the other hand, said Ruth, we don’t want to see the population decline such that hunter success and the inter-est in deer hunting dete-riorate. Earlier this year, DNR made recommenda-tions related to future deer management needs in South Carolina, how-ever, these recommenda-tions have not met with any legislative action at this point.

Deer hunting gener-ates approximately $200 million in retail sales for South Carolina’s econo-my annually.

At Heartland we suc-cessfully implemented similar pro-grams, and I look forward to work-ing with the entire Civitas orga-nization to explore best-in-class practices that can be utilized across many platforms. We have many excellent editorial and advertising professionals with valuable, local community ties. Our emphasis will always be on the communities we serve.”

Lonnie Adamson, general man-ager and editor of the Easley Progress, Pickens Sentinel and Powdersville Post, said the change gives us access to a broader range of economic and technical support with which to serve our readers and advertisers. “It helps ensure our stability to continue serving cus-tomers better as technology chang-es what we all do,” Adamson said.

Segall concluded, “While oper-ational improvements are antici-pated in the near-term, we plan to leave day-to-day control of editorial content in the hands of the people who know the local markets best.”
