PICKENS COUNTY – After five days on the run during some cold nights, a Pickens County jail escap-ee turned himself in to authorities Sunday, the sheriff ’s department

said.He was the sec-

ond of two men who broke out of incarceration Nov. 20. His apprehen-sion brings to an end a manhunt conducted by the Pickens County Sheriff ’s Office.

E s c a p e e s Jonathan Dean Moody and Rickylee Charles Eugene Smith have been returned to custody.

Rickylee Smith was apprehend-ed on Sunday afternoon following a telephone call to the Sheriff ’s Office.

According to the Pickens County Sheriff ’s Office, Rickylee Smith, called a deputy on Sunday after-noon around 12:30 p.m. to turn himself in.

“We stayed right behind him the whole time and one of the deputies received a cell phone call from him and he told the deputy that he was hungry and cold and was tired of running. We sent that deputy out there to pick him up,” Captain Keith Galloway said.

Galloway said that Smith was captured near the Oconee County line and that he had been in the woods since Tuesday.

Both men will face additional charges.

“We served both individuals with warrants for escape, and we are probably going to charge at least two in the jail for aiding and abetting,” Galloway said.

Galloway declined to name any prisoner suspected of aiding and abetting the escapees.

Jonathan Dean Moody had

been charged with armed robbery, grand larceny, manufacturing and distribution of methamphetamine, malicious injury to personal prop-erty and receiving stolen goods.

Rickylee Charles Eugene Smith had been charged with first and second degree burglary, grand lar-ceny, petit larceny, simple larceny

and simple posses-sion of marijuana.

A c c o r d i n g to the Sheriff ’s Office, Smith did not receive any help from friends or family while on the run.

“The family had been quite help-ful and tried to

do the right thing and encourag-ing Rickylee to turn himself in,” Galloway said.

According to the Pickens County Sheriff ’s Office, the men escaped together.

PICKENS COUNTY — A successful five day man-hunt that resulted in the capture of two Pickens County Detention Center escapees was the result of quick reaction time, according to Captain Keith Galloway.

Jonathan Dean Moody and Rickylee Smith were both apprehended by Sunday, and Galloway said an experience like this causes authorities to take a look at some poten-tial weaknesses.

“You always go back and try to find out what caused it,” Galloway said. “That was our first prior-

ity. We actually went back and studied the building, and determined it was a construction flaw. When the new section of the building was built, there was a construction flaw that was missed, which compromised an area out there. It just wasn’t vis-ible.”

Galloway said measures are being taken to solve the problem.

“We’ve taken some steps to secure it and fix the problem,” Galloway said. “The officers did a great job. They are trained to watch and look, and the officers at the detention facility actually saw what

PICKENS—A full schedule of holiday events are on tap for the month of December in the City of Pickens, beginning with the annual Christmas tree

lighting on Dec. 1.Scheduled events include

concerts, musicals, contests and even breakfast with Santa.

The kick-off event will fea-ture songs from A.R. Lewis Elementary School students, and the tree lighting will be

conducted by Pickens County Superintendent Kelly Pew.

“I think that the annual Christmas tree lighting in Pickens is a very special event that is enjoyed by residents,” Pew said. “The lighting of the tree symbolically marks the beginning of the Christmas season. Christmas is a special time for many families as they spend time participating in various church and community activities.”

Pew said she is excited to see local students get involved with the event.

“I am proud that A.R. Lewis children will be participat-ing in the event,” Pew said. “While their focus may be on the magic of Christmas, their participation in the tree light-ing gives them the opportunity to observe the beginning of a season that is much more than receiving gifts. It is about dem-onstrating our compassion and willingness to provide for those less fortunate.”

The festivities conclude with a Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at Grace Methodist Church in Pickens.

Below is a list of activities throughout December:

LIBERTY—Liberty Police Chief Leland “Corky” Miller has resigned after 11 years on the job in what mayor Michael Sheriff described as an “ami-cable” decision between he and Miller.

Det. Adam Gilstrap was appointed Tuesday by the city council as the interim police chief.

Sheriff said the res-ignation came during a meeting this week between him and

Miller. He declined to go into details regard-ing the reason for the resignation.

“It was amicable,” Sheriff said. “There are no investigations or anything like that.”

Sheriff said there are no immediate plans to replace Miller, but that there will be a search for a new police chief at a later date.

“There will eventual-ly be a search for a new chief, but it will not be before the first of the year,” Sheriff said.

Miller could not be reached for comment.

A graduate of Liberty High School, Miller worked for the Pickens County Sheriff ’s Office for 20 years. He became police chief in Liberty in 2001.

Gilstrap worked as deputy with the Anderson County Sheriff ’s Office for two years before join-ing the Liberty Police Department as a patrol-man in 2007. He was named a detective a year later.

P I C K E N S COUNTY—A trial for Donald Gregory Kinsela, charged with murder and arson in the death of his wife, Cheryl, in July of 2010 was scheduled to get underway this week.

According to the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Solicitor’s office, Kinsela was scheduled for a two week trial beginning Nov. 26 at 9 a.m.

A murder indictment for Kinsela stated he

“unlawfully and with malice aforethought (killed) Cheryl Kinsela by means of intention-ally setting fire to a stor-age type building while (the) victim was inside.”

The indictment for arson states Kinsela did “willfully and malicious-ly cause an explosion, and/or set fire to, and/or burn or cause to be burned and/or aid, coun-sel or procure a burning that resulted in damage to a storage type build-ing.”

Jury qualification and selection began on

Monday, and the trial was slated to begin Tuesday morning.

In 2010, The Easley Progress reported that authorities were called to the Kinsela home at 131 Beverly Drive and found Donald Kinsela lying on his back out-side of a shop building. Authorities said he had a water hose with him as if he were trying to put out the fire in the shop.

Officers said Kinsela told them his wife was trapped inside after a Weedeater on which they were working exploded.

Murder trial for Donald Kinsela begins this week

PICKENS — Chief David Porter was born in Pickens and joined the city’s fire department in August of 1978.

“Over the years, the required training has increased, and I am quali-fied to fight fires of any nature,” Porter said.

Porter became a full-time firefighter in 1979 and eventually became chief in 2004 where he currently oversees seven full-time firefighters and 35 volunteers.

“Over the 34 years of fire service, I have per-sonally been on five calls where someone has lost their life, and unfortunate-ly, there have been other fatalities due to fire,” Porter said. “We hope to improve fire safety in the home so these numbers continue to decrease.”

The fire department suggests that each home should have one working fire extinguisher, at least two working smoke detec-tors, and several outlined paths of escape from each room.

PICKENS — Garren’s Café in uptown Pickens has been owned by the Garren family since the 1960s, and co-owner, Jerry Black, has been announced as the ninth 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.

Jerry, his wife, and his mother-in-law, operate Garren’s Café for break-fast and lunch but close for dinner.

The café’s structure was built in 1898 as the Keowee Bank, but when the bank was closed in 1928, it was converted into a cafe.

Growing up, his father was in the Air Force and his family travelled throughout the country.

“That was back in the late 50s and early 60s. My father was a pilot and he took us all over, including right here in the upstate. I loved the mountains and

I knew then that I wanted to be here,” Black said.

As an adult, Jerry, had the chance to

work as an engineer for Singer-Ryobi in Pickens and was provided an oppor-tunity to make the upstate his home.

Following his retirement from Singer-Ryobi in 1999, Jerry made the restaurant business a full-time endeav-or.

“If I would have known that owning a small-town café would have been so much fun, I would have given up engi-neering a long time ago. Thanks to the Mayor, the City Administrator, and the entire city, we have come a long way in downtown,” Black said.

He is also a strong advocate for Main Street in Pickens.

“I would love to see the busy days like we had on Saturdays or on Wednesdays when the flea mar-ket traffic passed through town, but I am excited about the future with the effort to bring parks, new busi-nesses, shoppers, and tourists to Main Street,” Black said. “Main Street was a lot different 25 years ago when I moved to Pickens.”

Jerry is an active supporter of the Boy Scouts and was a local Scoutmaster and District Commissioner.

“I love the town, this area, the relaxed country feeling, and the open and honest people,” Black said.

PICKENS COUNTY—Pickens County Schools recent-ly received an overall “Good” rating for 2011-2012 on the state’s annual report card, and Pickens County Superintendent Kelly Pew said the district is heading in the right direction.

Pickens County had 12 schools receive an Excellent rating in the “absolute” cat-egory and 11 schools receive an Excellent rating in the “growth” category. These represent the highest rating possible.

“The report card grades are made up of on time gradua-tion,” Pew said. “While this is only one indicator on the report card, it is one that is given a lot of attention. Our goal is to provide a quality education for all students preparing them to be college and/or career ready.”

Pew said, during her time as Superintendent, she has seen some positive steps forward.

“I think that the district has done exceptionally well on the SAT, ACT, EOC, and PASS- performing as a top district in the state,” Pew said. “Our graduation rate has increased.

Both the federal report card and the state report card dem-onstrate that our students are doing well and are competitive with students from other dis-tricts in the state.

The successes we have seen this year are a direct result of the quality of teachers in our classrooms and the sup-port they have received from building and district adminis-trators. We are pleased with our progress but know that we want to continue to improve our results.”

Pew said the new report card allows schools to identify

groups that are not graduating on time.

“The new federal report card looks at achievement gaps in subgroups for performance on assessments (PASS in elemen-tary, HSAP and EOC in high school) and graduation rate,” Pew said. “The state report card looks at graduation rate as one cohort while the federal cohort looks at the number of students graduating in various subgroups. This allows schools to identify if there are specific groups not graduating from high school on time.”

With new implementation

ahead for schools in Pickens County, Pew said the constant-ly improving standards are a direct result of the teachers and administration.

“Our schools are proud of their accomplishments,” Pew said. “Beginning in the 2014-15 school year, the new CCSS and new assessment (Smarter Balanced) will be implemented. Our teachers have been work-ing hard to ensure that they are prepared to teach the new stan-dards. They have also looked at our current data to see how we can continue to improve.”

Pew says report card shows overall improvement

What is your family passionate

about?(BPT) - How many

times has your child come home with news of a new penny drive or fundraiser happening at school or a place of wor-ship? How often does this come with an explana-tion of who the cause or charity serves and how else your child can get involved? Often, children are eager to get involved with these fundraising efforts because there are reward incentives at the end, but parents can take

this opportunity to dis-cuss with children the real value of supporting nonprofit organizations.

So what’s the best way to start this conversa-tion with your kids? Find out what’s important to them. Everyone has a cause or charity that is close to their hearts. For your kids, was it helping that lost kitten found in the backyard that sparked their philanthropic pas-sions? Was it when they spent the weekend help-ing grandma plant a gar-den? Was it helping mom clean out their toys and taking them to kids who had nothing to play with?

Nonprofit organiza-tions span across many different categories, such as arts, education, envi-ronment, animals, health

and more. When children focus on things they find interesting, they’ll be more apt to stay with them. Whatever it is they are passionate and motivated about, you can help them make a positive impact in the community through giv-ing. It’s important to let kids know that even little contributions can make a big difference. Below are tips to help you get your child engaged in giving:

* Learn what they love. Have a conversa-tion with your children and ask them what they care about. Learning about their passions can help to motivate them, and also help you find more ways to get them involved, such as volun-teering.

* Make it a family affair. Include your chil-dren in your decision-making process, too, so that they can start to see that there is a clear and thoughtful manner in which you make con-tributions to charity.

* Acknowledge their good deed. Since chil-dren don’t get the tax deduction or other tan-gible benefits of giving that adults often receive, their reward is based on your words of encourage-ment and evidence of the impact they made. Let them know you’re proud of them and tell them exactly why, using spe-cific examples.

* Make this an ongoing effort. There are many ways to get involved with a charity, so introduce

children to other forms of donating besides mon-etary contributions, such as their time and talents. This can foster a lifelong joy of proactive giving.-

A good way to get involved this year is with Georgia Gives Day. Georgia Gives Day is a 24-hour, “flash-mob style” statewide giving event that will take place on Dec. 6. With the trend of 24-hour flash mob giv-ing growing across states like Colorado, Texas, Washington, Alabama and Pennsylvania, these

“days of giving” have raised millions of dollars, all going straight to local community nonprofits.

Visit www.GAgivesday.org to search and select the nonprofit or cause of your choice, and make a donation via credit card. GAgivesday.org makes donating easy for the community by organiz-ing nonprofits on one easily accessible online platform and providing key facts about these charities. Every penny counts when giving back to nonprofits.

Opinion

Waverider:

Imagine yourself a student or worker or both in Pickens County without a

car.How would you make

your way to college classes that meet at scheduled times through the day and then go to work when you weren’t in class?

You could rely on friends and neighbors. But what happens if your reliable friend has to work or is sick or just gets tired of the interrup-tions to his day?

Would your boss likely overlook your inability to get to work that day?

Would your professor allow you to repeatedly make up assignments you missed because your ride repeatedly missed pick-ing you up.

You could ride a bicy-cle – even on cold rainy January days… in the dark.

Many Pickens County people find themselves in this spot. Living where they can because rent is cheap but not close to their job or their school.

The world requires that they work and go to school to improve them-selves and support them-selves and support their children.

How could anyone expect to improve them-selves without the benefit of an entry level job that might pay for school and

afford them experience for improved employ-ment.

These difficul-ties are why a col-laboration between The Dream Center of Pickens County, Bowers Signature Services and the United Way of Pickens County is so important to improve-ment of the lives of indi-viduals and the better-ment of Pickens County living in general.

The program called Waverider (Work Assistance and Vocational Education Transportation Services) works like this.

For $50 per week, employees and students in Pickens, Easley and Liberty will be transport-ed from home to school or work, round trip up to six times. For workers, a fund has been developed to arrange transportation until the first paycheck arrives. For further information, call Bowers Signature Services at 864-269-7888.

If our people can break a cycle of poverty by going to school, working an entry level job and getting there by hired van service, we are all better off. Eventually more people are spend-ing money in restaurants, giving to churches, buy-ing in local shops and paying taxes on homes and cars.

Last-minute ways to trim your taxesJason Alderman

From now until New Year’s is probably when you have the least amount of time to spare on mun-dane financial bookkeeping tasks. But if you can dedicate a few min-utes to review your benefits and tax paperwork, you might be able to shave hundreds – or even thou-sands – of dollars off your 2012 taxes.

Here are a few suggestions:If you haven’t already maxed

out on contributions, ask your employer if you can make a catch-up contribution to your 401(k), 403(b) or 457 plan before year’s end. Most people can contribute up to $17,000 in 2012 (a $500 increase over 2011), plus an addi-tional $5,500 if they’re over 50.

If you contribute on a pretax basis, your taxable income is reduced, which in turn lowers your taxes. At a minimum, if your employer offers matching contribu-tions (essentially, free money), be sure to contribute at least enough to take full advantage of the match.

If you participate in employer-sponsored flexible spending accounts (FSAs), which let you use pretax dollars to pay for eligi-ble healthcare and dependent care expenses, an important change

is coming next year: Beginning January 1, 2013, the maximum annual contribution for healthcare FSAs will shrink to $2,500 from the $5,000 limit many employers currently offer; however, if your spouse has FSAs at work, you still may contribute up to $2,500 to each account. Dependent care account limits remain unchanged.

It’s vital to calculate and use any untapped 2012 account balances before your plan-year deadline (sometimes up to 75 days into the following year); otherwise, you’ll forfeit the remaining balance. If you have a surplus, consider which 2013 expenses you could pay before December 31, 2012. And, keep the new limit in mind when planning your 2013 healthcare FSA.

You can use your healthcare FSA for copayments, deductibles and medical devices such as glasses, contact lenses and braces, among other expenses; over-the-counter medicines are only eligible with a doctor’s prescription (an exception is made for insulin).

Charitable contributions. If you plan to itemize deductions on your 2012 taxes, charitable contribu-tions made to IRS-approved organi-zations by December 31, 2012, are generally tax-deductible. If you’ve got extra cash now and want to

lower your 2012 taxes even further, consider moving up donations you would have made in 2013.

Gifts. Unless Congress inter-venes, the federal income tax exemption for estate distributions and lifetime gifts will drop from the 2012 limit ($5.12 million) to the pre-2011 level of $1 million (for married couples, it drops from $10.24 million to $2 million); in addition, the tax rate on gifts or estate distributions above those limits will increase from 35 percent in 2012 to 55 percent in 2013.

One way to exceed the lifetime gift limit – and avoid having to file a Gift Tax Return – is by giv-ing separate, annual gifts of up to $13,000 per year, per person. (Married couples filing jointly can give $26,000 per recipient.) Rules for gift and estate taxes are com-plex, so read IRS Publication 950 (at www.irs.gov) and consult your financial advisor.

This isn’t an ideal time to take on any additional tasks, but if some or all of these situations apply, you could considerably lower your tax bill – wouldn’t that be a great way to start the New Year?

Clemson v.USC/USC v. ClemsonAs serious as it gets


While having dinner with a few good friends last week, the conversa-tion shifted in predict-able manner.

I live in the Upstate of South Carolina, which means only one thing this time of year. Clemson or USC? The majority of the friends I’ve come to know in this area are Gamecock fans. I know quite a few Clemson faithful as well.

With the annual brawl taking place on the grid-iron last week, I was able

to see the true nature of the rivalry through the eyes of its most dedicat-ed fans.

One of my friends, a diehard USC fan, took me to the root of his hatred for Orange and Purple. “My grandpa told us that Clemson fans were the worst when we were growing up. That was all I knew,” he said.

One of my other friends, a Clemson fan, who heard him say this leaned forwards and asked (in a concerned tone), “You think I’m the worst?”

The USC fan began elaborate on his origi-nal point, taking it to extremes at certain moments during the conversation. “If I knew

that Clemson would lose every game they played, I wouldn’t mind USC having a terrible year as well,” he said.

Really? Sacrifice your own team’s season for the sake of your rival’s suf-fering?

Seems a bit extreme, but exactly what a rivalry should be.

Clemson versus USC is as serious as it gets (notice that I have referred to them as USC throughout the entire article. I’m a Carolina fan, and it would be blas-phemy for me to award any other team with that name. The REAL Carolina is in Chapel Hill. I digress.).

From what I’ve seen, folks in Pickens County

are pretty split on the topic as well. As I watched the game Saturday night (sorry Clemson fans), I had the opportunity to witness the rivalry first hand. I sat directly in the middle of a group of Clemson and USC fans. Needless to say it was a wildly entertaining night.

From Clemson’s first score (which resulted in the chant—C-L-E-M-S-O-N, T-I-G-E-RRRRR-S— from the fans to my left), to South Carolina’s game-sealing touchdown, I believe I was finally able to paint myself a true pic-ture of what this rivalry is all about.

These teams really don’t like each other.

Service critical to improving lives


PICKENS COUNTY—High schools will no longer have to put up $15,000 for non-revenue sports equipment thanks to a school board deci-sion last month.

The Pickens County School board recently voted to require all high schools to spend $15,000 on the equipment. The district would then match the school’s efforts, giving them an extra $15,000.

The requirements to receive a match changed at a recent school board meeting.

“We heard that there was a need for equipment so we said to the schools, ‘Once you spend $15,000 on non-revenue sports

equipment, we’ll come in with another $15,000 on top of that,’” Saitta said. “We modified that last motion. High schools are going to have an option to spend up to $15,000 in non-revenue sports equip-ment in 2012-2013. They don’t have to spend the whole $15,000, and it is a dollar for dollar match.”

The board defined non-revenue sports equip-ment as anything that has to do with the play on the field. This includes base-ball bats, track and field hurdles and more.

Board Trustee Judy Edwards said there has been a need in non-rev-enue sports across the county for some time now.

“Two years ago, we

took the amount of money that was (slated) for non-revenue sports out of our budget,” Edwards said. “We have never returned it. Because of that, I felt like they needed some additional funds to be used for these particular sports.”

Edwards said she believes the schools should have the ultimate say in how the money is spent.

“I did not realize that we were saying that they had to spend all $15,000 before they got any money,” Edwards said. “I feel like these coaches should have some say in how this money is spent. It should be allocated in some way, in the school budget, to these partic-

ular sports, not just to be put into the general fund.”

Superintendent Kelly Pew said, during a recent meeting with high school officials, local schools had a few concerns.

“In my conversa-tions with the Athletic Directors from the four schools, they talked spe-cifically at Liberty and Pickens about the amount of money that was spent last year to open up their athletic facilities,” Pew said. “They also talked about the great expense of non-revenue sports traffic.”

A motion was not made to reimburse Pickens and Liberty for money spent on non-revenue sports equipment last year.

“The age old problem with non-revenue sports is that you’ve got rev-enue sports where the money comes in and they feel entitled to ownership of it,” Saitta said. “My advice is that I probably

would spend the whole $15,000,” Saitta said. “Next year, that money will just flow right back to the general fund, so if you’ve got equipment needs, that’s what this money is for.”

CLEMSON — A noted writer on faith and spir-itual life spoke Sunday evening at a Clemson Church.

Lillian Daniel, the Chicago-based author of “Tell it like it is: Reclaiming the Practice of Testimony” told a crowd of 75 at Peace Congregational Church

that the United States is struggling with what she called a “culture of criticism and a culture of coveting.” The two are linked in their use by many Americans.

Daniel was in the area visiting family in Anderson for the holidays and accepted an invita-tion from the Clemson-area church.

Explaining her ideas on the culture of criticism,

she described a group of women at a Starbucks who were complaining about a coach who was working with their chil-dren. “He didn’t let their child play, he was this, he was that. They all had something critical to say about him. Here was this guy who was probably at work at that time of the morning. Then he was going to spend 20 hours a week to coach their kids.

But they had time to criti-cize him at a Starbucks and not one of them could find something good to say him,” Daniel said.“We all do that sort of thing.”

It comes from a “cul-ture of coveting,” she said in which we want some-thing that someone else has. “We feel like we have to take something away from someone to have it. We have to punch, shoot holes in someone’s ideas

to be the smartest one in the room,” she said.

The answer is to devel-op a culture of gratitude, she said.

“What would happen if one of those women had said something posi-tive about that coach?” Daniel asked. “We’ve all been in a situation where that happened. You know what power that person has.”

Daniel’s new book

“When ‘Spiritual but not Religious’ is Not Enough: Seeing God in Surprising Places, Even Church” will be published in January.

She is Senior Minister of First Congregational Church in Glen Ellyn, Ill. She hosts a Chicago-area television show “30 Good Minutes.” She has taught preaching at Yale Divinity School and the University of Chicago.”

EASLEY – Santa will take time after the Easley Christmas Parade Saturday to have photos made with children and families at 5Point Church.

Lawson Clary, admin-istrative pastor at the church, said that 75 to 100 volunteers will assist during the event called Pictures with Santa. The photo sessions are free to the public and open to anyone, he said.

Photos will be made 9 am to noon. Included in the offer is a free 5x7 photograph of child or family.

“We’ll have a really nice set up and backdrop for the picture,” Clary said. “The main thing is that we wanted people to have a place to take their chil-dren after the parade that is free.”

While families await their picture process-ing, they can visit sev-eral activities, including a movie, making Reindeer food and making a Christmas ornament.

The activity stations are set up throughout the church, allowing visitors to see the new building, Clary said.

The church is located at 1600 E. Main St., Easley.

Santa to visit 5 Point Church

PICKENS — The Pickens County Museum of Art & History will be presenting three new exhibitions begin-ning December 1, 2012. Please join us from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m. on December 1 as we host a reception to meet the art-ists featured in “Crossing the Line: Thirty-One Drawings by Thirty-One Artists”. Also opening that evening will be the exhibits “Philip Gott: Explorations in Color” and “Writing; Putting Pen to Paper”. All three exhibitions will contin-ue through February 7, 2013.

This invitational exhibition, curated by museum director Allen Coleman, will sur-vey an eclectic group-ing of South Carolina Upcountry artists pursu-ing traditional drawing

media in both a tradi-tional manner as well as exploratory approaches to new application. Referring to this group of work, Coleman stated, “The Oxford Dictionary defines drawing as, ‘’the formation of a line by drawing some tracing instrument from point to point of a surface; representation by lines; delineation as distin-guished from painting…the arrangement of lines which determine form.’ However, in spite of this definition, the formation of line and the use of color are adaptable and can be achieved in a variety of manners The drawings in this exhibi-tion, made in different ways, have been selected to help define and also to stretch the boundaries of what a drawing is. They vary in the medium used,

which includes metal-point, graphite, charcoal, ink, and chalk. Some ful-fill the strict dictionary definition of drawing, others do not.”

The diverse lineup of upcountry artists included in this exhi-bition are Matthew Baumgardner, Victoria Blaker, Michael Brodeur, Bruce Bunch, Steven A. Chapp, Dale Cochran, Diane Kilgore Condon, Melody M. Davis, David Donar, Luiz Galvao, Joe Goldman, Suzy Hart, Ryan Heuvel, Ashley Holt, Stephanie Howard, Kevin Isgett, Kay Larch, Dabney Mahanes, Cecile L.K. Martin, Linda W. McCune, David McCurry, Glen Miller, Mark Mulfinger, Kendon Ryan Oates, JJ Ohlinger, Stan Pawelczyk, Adam C. Schrimmer, Patricia L. Sink, Larry Seymour,

John Urban and Barbara Van Gelderen.

The Pickens County Museum of Art & History is funded in part by Pickens County, members and friends of the museum and a grant from the South Carolina Arts Commission, which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Located at the cor-ner of Hwy. 178 at 307 Johnson Street in Pickens SC, the muse-um is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Admission is free but donations are welcomed.

(BPT) - The holiday season is about more than picking the full-est tree, listening to nostalgic carols and planning the perfect family photo. Between addressing holiday cards and toasting the New Year, it’s a great time to incorporate charitable giving into your traditions. No matter your time con-straints, there are many ways for you to spread goodness, in addition to good cheer, this holi-day season.

* Lend a hand:- Many organizations are in need of helping hands. Transport disabled or needy patients to their medical appointments or religious services, deliver meals to home-bound seniors or visit a children’s hospital or rehabilitation center. Make a difference in your own neighbor-hood by raking leaves, shoveling snow or hanging holiday lights

for an elderly neighbor. Picking up trash at a local park or painting over graffiti is always appreciated by city ser-vices.

* Volunteer your services: Food banks tend to have the high-est usage during winter months. Get involved collecting food donations, spend time stocking shelves at a local food pantry or work directly with families in need via a holiday sponsorship program. Do you play a musical instrument? Are you good at fund-raising, office organiza-tion, public speaking, party planning or writ-ing newsletters? Offer your specific talent to an organization that could utilize it.

* Purchase gifts that give back: Many companies offer chari-table incentives with a special purchase. For example, Hickory Farms, well-known for

its delicious gift bas-kets, will donate $5 to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry cam-paign with the purchase of every Party Planner gift box sold during the holiday season.

* Support the mili-tary: If you have a fam-ily member or friend serving in the military away from home this season, Hickory Farms offers free shipping on certain gifts for military personnel delivering to APO/FPO addresses. Consider the Home for the Holidays gift box which includes a won-derful combination of beef and turkey sum-mer sausages, creamy cheeses, flavorful mus-tards and crackers. It will bring a taste of home and a warm smile to the face of your loved one. Visit hicko-ryfarms.com or the company’s kiosks and storefronts nationwide.

* Make a monetary donation: The end of

the year/holiday season is also a good time to make monetary dona-tions to your favorite nonprofit organiza-tions. Any donations made prior to the last day of the year can also be counted as deduc-tions for 2012 taxes. Many organizations rely on this holiday sea-son to raise much-need-ed funds to be used throughout the year. If money is tight but you’d still like to contribute, subscribe to a payroll deduction service for 2013 to donate little by little throughout the year. Check with your workplace to see if it will match charitable contributions, because many do.

Combine good will and good cheer to make this a season to remem-ber. Establish a mean-ingful connection with a charity or organiza-tion and turn your sea-sonal good deeds into year-round endeavors.

Celebrate the holiday season with charitable giving

(BPT) - With busy work schedules and hectic family lives, many people believe they don’t have the neces-sary time, energy or skills to volunteer. Unfortunately, these myths may deter many people who would make capable and help-ful volunteers. For many Americans, volunteer work constitutes small, but empowering acts of ser-vice.

Volunteering does not typically take a lot of time or energy and only requires the ability to follow direc-tions, not a special set of skills. The key to busting volunteering myths lies in finding activities that fit into your schedule and match your abilities.

Myth 1: Volunteering takes too much time.

Reality: It doesn’t take a lot of time to make a dif-ference. Volunteering just a couple of hours a year or 15 minutes a week can actually make a large differ-ence because what is done matters more than how long it took. Whether you help build a house once on a weekend or tutor every week, you still make an impact.

Myth 2: Volunteering uses a lot of energy.

Reality: Some volunteer activities require a lot of energy, but many do not. Instead of signing up for manual labor, consider opportunities that might align with your day’s sched-ule like grocery shopping for an injured neighbor while picking up your own

groceries or chatting with a resident at a nursing home.

Myth 3: Volunteering requires a special skill set.

Reality: If you have a spe-cial skill set, volunteering is a great way to use it to help others. If you don’t, fear not! Most volunteers only need to follow direc-tions, talk to other people and have fun. Think about helping organize donations at a food pantry.

Just ask Debbie McGrady, a 58 year-old mother of two who disproves all three of these volunteering myths. Even though she suffers from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) - a chronic autoim-mune disease that affects the lining of the joints, causing soreness, swelling and stiffness - she contin-ues to be an active member in her community by giving back and participating in volunteer work, which she finds to be both feasible and worthwhile.

Specifically, McGrady drives local senior citizens to their doctor’s appoint-ments and on other errands, turning a mun-dane task into a time to build meaningful relation-ships. “I used to think I was too tired, too busy, and not talented enough to volun-teer. However, I discovered the smallest actions can make a world of difference for somebody and make me feel better too,” says McGrady. “Volunteering is such a gratifying experi-ence and helps me focus on others as opposed to my disease.”

Today’s Answers

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2012:

This year you often will switch from one outlook to the next. You even might feel like a human seesaw of sorts. For some of you, a person in your inner circle could try to reflect the opposite opinion of what you choose. Instead of using black-and-white think-ing, try to see that both viewpoints could work, and strive to find some middle ground. If you are single, you could meet someone significant to your life history, but you could have difficulty with the differences between you. If you are attached, resist the urge to fight with the one you love. GEMINI can challenge you.

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 The unexpected occurs,

like it or not. You might feel as if you can’t make a situation conform to your expectations — or anyone else’s, for that matter. Stop attempting to handle this issue, and just let it flow naturally. Tonight: Make calls before deciding.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)HHH If ever there was a time not to

make a money commitment, it is today. Use care, even when counting your change. If you feel as though you are fiscally careless in some area, decide to change that pattern — if not imme-diately, then in the very near future. Tonight: A lucky turn of events.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could be overwhelmed

by everything that is happening right now; however, know that you might be the linchpin in this case. Though at first you might not be able to get a grasp on the situation, you will, and faster than you think. Tonight: Enjoy the roller-coaster ride.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Full Moons greatly affect you,

as your planetary ruler is the Moon. This particular Full Moon is an eclipse, which promises changes in the next few months with a child or a relation-ship. The outcome could be very good. Go with the flow, and take it easy. Tonight: Listen well.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Something that you want

might fall into your lap in a most secre-tive manner ... perhaps not today, but in the near future. A friend could com-plicate your life. It is up to you whether you will make a fuss about it or just let it go. Remain focused on a differ-ent matter in the meantime. Tonight: Celebrate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Decide to loosen up rather

than fight city hall. A boss could be demanding, which might cause a conflict for you with someone who has other plans. At the moment, you are seeing the situation as black and white. Try to find a way in which both demands can be met. Tonight: A must appearance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH The unexpected marks a

situation. You might be trying to hold on to something that really isn’t doable at the moment. Let it go. News from a distance might impress you, or at least make you smile. Know that you are heading in the right direction. Tonight: Act on an idea.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be seeing a lot of

back-and-forth in several of your more substantial friendships. Know that there is very little you can do to change this. Remain true to yourself, yet be willing to discuss a financial matter with a key person. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Having to juggle mixed ener-

gy, incoming requests and some irra-tional behavior could throw anyone off. Remain focused on what’s most impor-tant, and you will weather the storm. Stay on top of these hassles and allow greater give-and-take. Tonight: Go with someone’s suggestion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Pace yourself, and you’ll

accomplish a lot more than you thought possible. Understand that you might need to cut someone off or ignore a situation altogether in order to do this. Avoid getting involved in others’ issues; use this day for you. Tonight: Get some exercise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You see a situation differ-

ently from others. You often come up with some far-fetched ideas, and this is yet another example. Your drive and energy help you turn an important idea into reality. Friendship will prevail, even if a quarrel begins. Tonight: Spend time with a favorite person.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Stay anchored, know

what is happening and make choices accordingly. You could be a little off-kilter because of what someone does. Understand that you do not need to put yourself in the line of fire; instead, you can withdraw and refuse to take part in this person’s scenario. Tonight: Happiest at home.

EASLEY—The Easley High boys basketball team will be relying on an improved post game and outside shooting to make a run this year.

Easley Coach Grant Stallard said he is return-ing quite a few players to this year’s roster, and he believes it will mean suc-cess on the hardwood.

“We’re returning nine players from last year’s team that went 20-6,” Stallard said. “There are eight seniors, so we have a lot of experience. Some of those seniors have been three year varsity play-ers.”

Stallard said one of the Green Wave’s biggest assets this season will be at the point guard posi-tion.

“One of the best things we do is shoot from the outside,” Stallard said. “We led the state last year in three-pointers made, and we are returning one of the top point guards in the upstate in Troy McGowens.”

The head coach said McGowens is the motor for the team.

“McGowens is a four-year varsity player, and he is kind of our motor. As he goes, we go,” Stallard said. “The whole offsea-son has focused around his ability to penetrate and kick it out. We have our twins Alex and Matt Preston, who are both three year varsity players, and they can definitely light it up from the out-side.”

Although they did not produce much in the way of a post-game last year, the Green Wave hope to make some changes in the days to come.

“We are improved, this year, at the post posi-tion,” Stallard said. “Last year, we had to play some people out of position for lack of post play. We have

Jake Foster, who is 6’6, we have Neico Robinson, who is 6’7. We also have Quaven Ferguson, who is a NCAA Division I prospect in football, but he’s also sitting at 6’4 270 pounds. Our biggest improvement from last year is going to be our post play.”

Stallard said a lack of rebounding proved det-rimental to last year’s squad.

“Games we had trouble with last year included poor offensive rebound-ing a defensive rebound-ing,” said Stallard. “We’re trying to improve on that.”

Easley loses Spencer Collins, who is in his first year with the Wofford Terriers. Collins aver-aged a double-double last season for Easley, and Stallard said his team will have to work hard to fill in for the loss.

“Losing his 26 points a game is big,” Stallard said. “He wasn’t only our leading scorer, but he was our best defender and top rebounder. I think we can make up for the points, but we’re going to need someone to step up from a defensive standpoint and a rebound stand-point. That’s where we’re really going to miss him.”

In the end, Stallard said it will be defense and rebounding that will take this team as far as they want to go.

“We can’t rely strictly on the three-pointer. There are going to be games where shots simply don’t fall. That’s just how basketball goes,” said Stallard. “We have got to find our post guys, and we have got to do a better job of offensive rebounding. That will help us get the easy buckets and help get us going.”

Easley tips off this Friday at home against Pickens. Game time is set for 6:30 p.m.

South Carolina’s waterfowl hunters will have an excellent oppor-tunity to introduce the next generation of hunt-ers to the sport of water-fowling this season. Dec. 1 has been designated as State Youth Day in South Carolina.

Only hunters 17 years of age or younger may hunt waterfowl (ducks and geese) on this day. The youth(s) must be accompanied by an adult of at least 21 years of age. The adult is not

allowed to carry a gun or hunt, but must be prop-erly licensed, including state and federal duck stamps. Youth who are 16 and 17 years of age who hunt on this day are not required to be licensed or have a state waterfowl stamp but must possess a Federal Waterfowl Stamp.

Feb. 2-3, 2012 are Federal Youth Days. Only hunters 15 years of age or younger may hunt waterfowl (ducks and geese) on these days.

The youth(s) must be accompanied by an adult of at least 18 years of age. The adult is not allowed to carry a gun or hunt, and does not have to be licensed.

Shooting hours for late season duck hunt-ing are uniform state-wide. Hunters should take notice that DNR law enforcement officers will pay special attention to “late shooting viola-tions” throughout South Carolina. Check local newspapers for sunrise

and sunset times. Any South Carolina hunt-er born after June 30, 1979, must complete an approved hunter educa-tion course to purchase a hunting license.

Federally approved nontoxic shot (such as steel, bismuth-tin, tung-sten-iron or tungsten-polymer) is required for all waterfowl hunting. The possession of lead shot is prohibited for all waterfowl hunting state-wide.

Dec. 1 designated youth waterfowl day

“About 8:30 p.m. Tuesday night, they were able to compromise a locked door that went out onto the rec yard,” Galloway said. “Both of them are pretty small guys, 5’6, 5’7, 135 and 140 pounds, and they were able to help each other get up the side of the rec yard where there was a small area of fence

that had about a foot or so section that had been compromised. I don’t know whether they had been working on that or not, but they were able to squeeze through that little area.”

Jonathan Dean Moody was found less than a mile from the Pickens County Detention Center during a search conducted on

Wednesday Nov. 21.“At about 12 p.m.

we left the perimeter with the dogs that we kept through the wee-hours of the morning, but we had deputies keeping the perimeter loose,” Galloway said. “(Right about that time) Jonathan Moody walked

out of a small wooded area that was inside the perimeter. One of our guys spotted him and took him into custody.”

Galloway expressed his appreciation for everyone involved in the manhunt.

“We have had teams on the ground since

Tuesday. The people have done an exemplary job and I would really like to show my praise for them, the Pickens County Sheriff ’s Office, the Pickens City Police Department, the Liberty City Police Department, the South Carolina Highway Patrol, and the

U.S. Marshall’s Office,” Galloway said. I would really like to praise those individuals, those agen-cies, and especially the guys on the teams, they have been non-stop since Tuesday and kept the pressure on him and its ended in a successful arrest.”

was going on as it was taking place. Immediately, the officers are told to take steps to lock the jail down. Business as normal stops, and the facility goes on lock down.”

Authorities say reac-tion time was fast enough to keep one of the escapees within a mile of the prison over-night.

“You respond depu-ties to the area that (the escapees) were last seen,” Galloway said. “We actually had deputies on the ground behind them within three or four minutes of them leaving the facility. Dog teams and aircraft are naturally called in. You try to set a perim-eter and do the best you can. The more that time goes by, the more likely they are to get help from the outside.”

“Everybody here worked quickly and responded, and I think that showed by us being able to keep Moody in the woods overnight,” he said. “You just have to react quickly.”

Galloway said relent-less pursuit eventually resulted in Smith’s cap-

ture.“We had teams of up

to 20 who worked day and night,” Galloway said. “I think a lot of that relentless pressure was a reason (Smith) turned himself in. He was not getting a lot of help from the outside because he was hungry, cold and tired of run-ning. It was just team-work at its best.”

The captain said help from other departments also contributed to the captures.

“We had help from the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the Marshal’s office, the Pickens City Police Department and Liberty City Police Department. All of those folks did a great job,” Galloway said. “This is our community too.”

“One of the reasons that I’ve chosen to work at the sheriff ’s office all these years is that I want to work in my commu-nity,” Galloway contin-ued. “These people live in this community too, so naturally we all have something invested in this. People want to get these guys back in cus-tody as well.”

PICKENS — Employees at Pickens-based OWT Industries, a maker of gen-erators, worked 12-hour double shifts and weekends recently to help meet the production demands brought by Hurricane Sandy.

OWT is a subsidiary of TTi (Techtronic Industries North America, Inc), which has North American Headquarters based in Anderson. It called to action its storm teams in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

TTi rallied its employees in Pickens to quadruple generator production, and then deployed Storm Teams to per-sonally assist customers in their time of need. Field sales staff were also

mobilized to cover all storm areas and were in retail locations working with retail associates to assist customers. Thousands of generators were shipped to retailers in the Northeast.

Glenn Powell, plant manager of OWT Industries, said, “We rallied our team together, added shifts and production lines which quadrupled our production. Our teams were eager for the call and happy to be able to help those affected by Sandy.” The Storm Team Mobile Repair Center was also sent out to devastated storm areas. It consisted of 12 highly specialized generator experts equipped with a trailer filled with oil, gas cans, spare parts and other supplies

in order to repair a generator to get the customer back to their home as safely and quickly as possible. The Storm Teams are comprised of engineers, tech-nical customer support, sales, market-ing, shipping and most importantly over 180 production personnel working around the clock to provide generators and pressure washers that are necessary to sustain power and clean up in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

“We wanted to get as many gen-erators as possible to the Northeast and be available to support those affected by Sandy in their time of need. Our employees have tremendous ‘ready to help attitudes’ and are willing to do

what is needed to service storm victims. Glenn Powell and his staff have done an excellent job assembling a spirited pro-duction team. Through our collabora-tive efforts and relentless work we have shipped as much product as quickly as we can to the affected areas.” Lee Sowell, President Outdoor Products, TTi said. “I’m proud of TTi for doing its part to help support the aid and recov-ery effort along the east coast.”

“TTi has been a great member of the community here in Anderson and Pickens, and I’m excited to see them contribute to storm relief efforts in this way,” said Third District Congressman Jeff Duncan.

Pickens workers assist Hurricane Sandy recovery

and get on the board first to take an 8-0 lead in the second quarter. Strong offensive line play by the Blue Flame set up a touchdown run by Jamorea Keith. After a failed two point conver-sion by Pickens, the half-time score was 8-6.

The third quarter saw another tough defensive

struggle by both teams but that’s when the Blue Flame offense would go to work. With strong offensive line play by Pickens, Evan Ashemore was able to scamper for another touchdown and put the team in the lead for good in the fourth quarter, 12-8. The lead seemed to propel the

Blue Flame defense to work harder as they sty-mied the Panther offense. Behind leading tacklers, Brennan Perkins and Ryan Ford, the Panthers would never gain anoth-er first down. When the horn sounded, it would be the first Pickens Rec. 8U Western District Championship title.

Coach Ford stated, “This talented group of young-sters was hard-working and full of determination. They went after this win with a vengeance and were not going to be denied. I am so proud of all of them!”

The team would like to thank all of the fans who made the trip to

Abbeville and supported them throughout the season. Congratulations 8U Blue Flame on your SCAP Western District Championship! (Note: The South Carolina Athletic Program divi-sion of SCRPA does not recognize all-star play in this age division. The Western District decided

two years ago to support and promote all-star play for the 8U age division. The Western District is comprised of the follow-ing counties: Seneca, Pickens, Greenville, Spartanburg, Cherokee, Anderson, Abbeville, Laurens, Greenwood, McCormick and Union.)
