Princeton Review names Clemson among ‘Best Value Colleges,’ offering greatest ROI
CLEMSON — Clemson University has been recognized by The Princeton Review as being one of the nation’s best institutions to offer students the greatest return on educational investment. Out of 656 colleges and universities evaluated for this year’s “Best Value Colleges of 2020” list, only 200 received the designation.
Clemson was also recognized for its career services, ranking first out of 20. The Princeton Review considers more than 40 data points affecting return on investment (ROI) — including academic offerings, affordability and career preparation. Clemson’s top-level programs, faculty-to-student ratio, career services, internship opportunities and alumni network contributed to Clemson’s placement.
“Choosing a university can be a daunting task and Clemson students choose daily to invest in creating an atmosphere of success and engagement that produces such positive and notable outcomes,” said David Kuskowski, Clemson’s director of undergraduate admissions. “The

Use watermelon for these Valentine’s treats
Valentine’s Day naturally brings thoughts of hearts, flowers, sweetness and love. Because it 
also occurs during American Heart Month, it’s a perfect opportunity to start taking care of your own heart and the hearts of loved ones.
Part of the charm of the day’s celebrations is in giving family and friends flavorful foods to enjoy from chocolates and candies to other sugary treats. However, the festivities don’t have to be completely focused on unhealthy bites in order to
make someone feel special.
This year, it can be easy to share in the fun of Valentine’s Day by serving those you love with sweet, seasonal treats. For example, these Frosted Watermelon Cutouts make for ideal snacks for children and adults alike whether it’s an after-school treat or a sweet dessert with just three ingredients, heart-shaped cookie cutters and minimal time spent in the kitchen.
If you’re really looking to impress that special someone, this Watermelon and Chocolate

ALERT **** WEATHER ALERT FROM SDPC **** ALERT
We are continuing to monitor weather and driving conditions. At this time, we are ceasing all mid-day travel; we advise high school students who are early dismissal or late arrivals to stay where they are and avoid the roads. Afternoon 3K and 4K classes are cancelled. Given current conditions, we do not consider early dismissal to be a safer option than normal dismissal time. For many of our students, our schools are the most secure storm shelter available. Parents are welcome to sign students out early, but do so at their own risk. Delays on bus routes later today are expected, and we advise extreme caution during the drive home today.

PICKENS — For a church with only nine members, Soapstone Baptist has been getting an outsized amount of attention.
The tiny church in northern Pickens County was featured in the January edition of Southern Edge magazine, a statewide publication of the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor. This spring, it will get national exposure in Eating Well magazine.
“They came down from New York to interview me,” said Mable Clarke, the great-great-
