Nuts put crunch into pie crusts
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
If you would like to turn a good pie into a great pie, rethink the crust.
Using these nut-based pie crusts will really jazz up an old favorite. The pecan and almond crusts are delicious with a chocolate or banana cream filling. And pairing them with coconut cream is also a winner.
Lemon meringue pairs well with the pistachio crust, and pumpkin or apple go the extra mile with the walnut curst.
Actually, it’s hard to come up with anything that wouldn’t taste good with nuts… So go ahead and knock their socks off.
Come up with your own pairings. Don’t be afraid to experiment a little with these.

Peggy Anthony won nine state volleyball championships and Bill Isaacs lead the Blue Flame football team to a 57-game regular-season winning streak, and the 
school paid tribute to the two by renaming the gymnasium and football field after them.
After a ceremony on Saturday, longtime Pickens coach Andy Virgil joins the ranks of those Pickens legends, with the weight room at the school now dedicated in his honor.
Virgil, who coached the Pickens JV boys’ basketball, boys’ track and field and tennis teams, is best

Settlement ends coal ash battle
By Jason Evans

COUNTY — The settlement of a longstanding lawsuit between Pickens County and MRR will see the creation of a landfill in Liberty, but one that will not hold coal ash or hazardous waste.
County council approved the settlement May 16, and officials announced its details at a press conference held May 18.
“It is a bright day in Pickens County,” county administrator Ken Roper said. “A day that’s been long coming, lots of twists and turns. We’re here this morning to announce — happily, proudly, excitedly

What was this fight all about?
At last, the long and winding road comes to an end. Pickens County’s fight to keep coal ash from being dumped here is over.
Actually, that fight was over a long time ago. The legal dispute with a North Carolina-based company called MRR Pickens LLC has dragged on quietly for more 
than six years after our legislative delegation succeeded in passing a law preventing the potentially hazardous material from being disposed of in the type of landfill Pickens County allows.
So what was the big fight that ended up costing the county several million dollars to settle about?
It was about lack of communication, or miscommunication, or — in the view of the county — intentional deceit. And about a
