Courier reporters win SCPA awards
COLUMBIA — Two Pickens County Courier staff members were honored with individual awards from the South Carolina Press Association earlier this month.
The SCPA presented the winners of the 2021 news contest at its annual meeting on March 11 in Columbia, recognizing last year’s best in newspaper journalism from around the Palmetto State, including awards for Courier staffers Ron Barnett and Bru Nimmons.
Barnett, a longtime newspaper veteran who serves as a columnist and reporter for the Courier, received a second-place award in the news feature writing category among weekly newspapers with a circulation between 3,500 and 6,500.
Barnett’s award-winning story — titled “The hand of God” — was about the day in February 1960 when a military plane crash landed in the city of Liberty, causing no major damage or injuries. The story, which ran in the Courier last April, featured interviews with witnesses who recounted the wreck and its aftermath on the day

Local woman renews career as artist after brain injury
By Ron Barnett
Staff Reporter
rbarnett@thepccourier.com
EASLEY — As strange as it may sound, Easley artist Emily Ruff says her art is actually better now than it was before she suffered a broken neck and traumatic brain injury in an accident some four and a half years ago.
She doesn’t recommend flipping a car nine times on an interstate highway for improving one’s
artistic abilities.
But learning how to use the creative part of her brain to compensate for a temporary decline in function of the analytical part seems to have had that effect, she says.
“I feel like I see things a little differently,” she told the Courier. “And that translates into creativity, for sure.”
That would not have been possible without the therapy she received at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, she says.
And her renewed career as an artist is a testament to this year’s theme of Brain Injury Awareness Month, sponsored by the Brain
