Harvey leads Easley to win over Pickens

PICKENS — Entering the 2021 season, Easley head baseball coach Gill Payne knew he had two talented arms at the front of his rotation in seniors Josh Woody and Zach McAlister, but he was unsure of who his third man on the mound should be.
Fellow senior Kasten Harvey felt like he was the guy, and despite some early misgivings from Payne, he has more than proven to be capable, with the latest example coming during his fourth start in the fourth-ranked Green Wave’s 11-0 win over rival Pickens last Wednesday.
Harvey, who allowed just two hits and struck out nine Blue Flame batters in a five-

Habitat gets $50K for anniversary home
PICKENS — Pickens County Habitat for Humanity will build a 40th anniversary home for a family in need thanks to the generosity of Michael Nieri of Great Southern Homes and the Nieri Family.
Nieri pledged $50,000 toward the 40th anniversary home, which is planned for 2022 to commemorate the organization’s four decades of building affordable homes in Pickens County. This gift is the largest individual donation the organization has ever received.

Looper retains seat on Blue Ridge board
PICKENS — Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative once again this year conducted its annual meeting of members by utilizing a drive-thru registration procedure.
This process replaced the traditional meeting format that, until last year, had seen several thousand members and guests gather together at the power supplier’s Pickens equipment facility. The cooperative’s management determined that the pandemic had not yet reached a stage wherein it would be safe to host that many people in such close quarters.
Blue Ridge members could select one of two days — last Wednesday or Thursday — to drive their vehicles to the cooperative’s Oconee or Pickens office in order to complete their registration. During

Celery IS a key ingredient
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
Celery is a vegetable that is overlooked and often taken for granted. We’re used to seeing it in salads and paired with carrots as a vegetable to dip in various and sundry substances, but it’s time to regroup.
Don’t neglect celery as more than just a tired old snack food.
It has the advantage of being nutritious and a real plus as far as diets go, and it’s considered a negative-rated source of calories.
String it before eating, a task easily done with a vegetable peeler. Whether you enjoy it as soup, salad, a side dish or part of your Thanksgiving dinner, there should be a least one recipe featured that you’ll enjoy. All you have to do is try it.
