Finding good respite care
The most difficult thing for many people is to give themselves rest and relaxation when they are caring for a loved one with dementia. Women are programmed to be caregivers to babies, family members and loved ones. Many men take on this role

Seven Sisters
North American wildlife conservation model used in Pickens County
By Dr. Thomas Cloer, Jr.
Special to The Courier
It has become increasingly clear to me as I interact with hunters and anglers in South Carolina and other states that there is much ambiguity as to what our responsibilities are as a people who love to hunt and fish.

60th anniversary
The former Margaret Ellen Roberts married John William “Bud” Waldrop on June 8, 1957, at the home of the Rev. Jim Lewis. This year, Bud and Margaret Waldrop will 
celebrate their 60th year of marriage. They have been blessed with health, happiness and a loving family. Their four children, 10 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren love them both very much. “Nanny” and “Daddy Bud,” the entire family appreciates the strong family values and beliefs you have instilled in all of us through your example. Bringing us together every Sunday for Sunday dinner is just one of the ways that shows the love you have for your family. Debbie Ellison, Tracy Pechthalt, Jan Stephens and Jon Waldrop, their children, are planning a trip down “memory lane” and a dinner to celebrate the blessings of life, marriage, family and the happiness of 60 years together as husband and wife.

Filled cupcakes take top place
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
Throw out the calorie counter and celebrate with these really yummy cupcakes. Filled cupcakes are a recent development for home cooks. Those who watch Cupcake Wars on Food Network have learned a lot about flavors, textures and presentation.
You can make these cupcakes look as good as they taste. They vary in level of time and difficulty, but if you make them once, they’re simple after that. Make a batch and have a party.
