Brawl of the Wild

Four-legged foes go blow for blow in an incredible boxing bout

By Dr. Thomas Cloer, Jr.
Special to The Courier

y wife and I love to hike and film wildlife. It is one of our favorite things to do. A pandemic that has someone dying every 30 seconds in the U.S. from COVID-19 will send one away from crowds and into the wild outdoors. It certainly did so to my wife and me.

We have spent many hours observing wildlife in the wild. I have done so now into my eighth decade. I started seriously observing wildlife in the 1950s. As the ball dropped and 2021 became a reality, I realized I had just entered into my eighth decade of serious wildlife viewing. I have published many stories about encounters

Swinney after Orange Bowl loss: Tigers not falling off

By Will Vandervort

news@thepcccourier.com

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Dabo Swinney looked over at quarterback Cade Klubnik, running back Will Shipley and defensive end K.J. Henry late Friday night and chuckled after being asked if the Clemson football program has fallen from college football’s elite ranks.

“I don’t really know what to say to them,” Swinney said. “We are 11-3. Sure, I wish we were undefeated, but we have won the league seven out of the last eight years. I think that has only happened one other time, and that was in the (1970s) by Alabama.”

The question came after Clemson’s season ended with a 31-14 loss to No. 6 Tennessee in the Orange Bowl. The loss to the Volunteers was the No. 10 Tigers’ third defeat against a non-conference Power 5 opponent

Advice for the new year

Dear Editor,

We’re starting a new year, which is sort of like having a second chance to try at life again. Trying hard not to fail with the second chance.

Here’s some advice for the new year. Anyone who has read my letters over the years knows I rarely mention politics, local or national. The way I see it, it’s a waste of time and precious print space. I’ll make an exception because of New Year’s.

Now anything said about one political party could just as easily be said about your party. “They rigged the election.” “They stole the election!” If I wanted to, all I’d
