Tigers dismantle Notre Dame in Cotton Bowl

Alabama for national championship

ARLINGTON, Texas — As has been the case so many times this season, 
Clemson wholly outclassed its competition Saturday afternoon in the Cotton Bowl.
And with their latest conquest — the most impressive victory of their undefeated season thus far — the Tigers will find themselves playing in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game for the third time in four seasons.
Keyed by highlight-reel plays from true freshmen Trevor Lawrence and Justyn Ross, along with a smothering defensive effort, the second-ranked Tigers steamrolled past No. 3 Notre Dame by a final score of 30-3 at AT&T

LIBERTY — Although Pickens County Meals on Wheels executive director Met Bowers announced the day after Christmas that she will resign later 
this month, she will go out with a bang at the organization’s “TNT” fundraiser on Jan. 12.
Bowers’ last day as executive director will be Jan. 18, according to a news release from Pickens County Meals on Wheels. Soon after, she will begin a new job as executive director of the Meyer Center in Greenville.
“I believe with all my heart that when it comes to serving seniors — those young at heart, the sick and the frail — there is no better place to turn than Pickens County Meals on Wheels. I will forever be a supporter, donor and No. 1 fan of this wonderful organization,” Bowers said in the release. “I pray that the community will continue to support PCMOW and the incredible impact it has on our seniors and our community each and every day.”
Bowers began her tenure with Pickens County Meals on Wheels on a part-time, temporary basis in 2008 before being named executive director in

EASLEY — The Tucker W. Hipps Foundation has donated $25,000 to the Dream Center of Pickens County.
The Dream Center received the funds last week, according to Chris Wilson, the center’s executive director.
The funds will be used to renovate a transitional house in the center’s Opportunity Village, she said.
The village is a homeless shelter program developed and operated by the center.
Following a “tiny house” model, the village provides 23 units and 10 transitional houses to shelter homeless individuals and families.
“We’ll have a house that, when we get it renovated, it will be named after

‘Eight Flew Out, Seven Returned’
I wanted to share this heartwarming story as part of my holiday gift to readers, titled “Eight Flew Out, Seven Returned.”
Twas the day after Christmas and all through the wood
The deer were out prancing and looking for food.
A doe crossed the road at just the wrong time
And a car hit her hard on the road’s center line.
We looked out the window and just as we feared.
The road was obstructed with carcass of deer.
The traffic kept coming with screeching of brakes
They tried not to crash, for their lives

Simplicity, fairness, competitiveness
South Carolina is a business-friendly state, a fact long evident by its aggressive pursuit of new industrial investment and jobs. Tax incentives play a big part in the state’s commitment to economic development, the success of which speaks for itself.
But those tax breaks can create an uneven playing field for existing businesses, and should encourage legislative tax reform. That’s one of the surprising conclusions of a tax study released last month by the state Chamber of Commerce, aimed largely at improving the state’s business climate.
The Chamber commissioned the Tax Foundation, a Washington-D.C.-based think tank, to develop options that are generally

O come let us adore him
Christ is called Emanuel, which means, “God is with us” and we are so grateful that he came to save us. Yes, we enjoy the nativity and he was once a baby, but he’s not a baby today. He was born, lived and was willing to be 
crucified because he loved us more than anything in the world. Whatever you are going through today, be encouraged to know that God wants to be with you and is more than able to take care of you. He is El Shaddai, God Almighty, The All Sufficient One! Here are seven attributes of our creator that remind us why we celebrate the incarnation and sing, “O come let us adore him.”
1. God knows: God is omniscient and is fully aware when we are going
