Continuing a Christmas tradition
Local residents gathered last week to watch the lighting of the huge Christmas tree in front of the Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative headquarters on Main Street in Pickens for the 37th year in a row. As part of the ceremony, a new plaque explaining the history of the tree was unveiled. “The Deodar Cedar that stands in front of the Blue Ridge Headquarters in
Pickens has been lit in recognition of the Christmas season for over 50 years,” the plaque reads. “This large conifer was spared the bulldozer’s blade during the construction of the Pickens Office in 1953. When Charles E. Dalton became President and CEO in 1982, he began the tradition of holding a tree lighting ceremony to bring the Pickens Community together during the holiday season. This tree has become a main stay at Blue Ridge Electric and in the Pickens community as a whole.” At right, current Blue Ridge president Jim Lovinggood and his wife, Denise, pose alongside the plaque with Dalton and his wife, Libby. Dalton, who retired in January, had the honors of lighting the tree this year. Photos by Karen Brewer/Courtesy The Christian View magazine

CLEMSON — The runoff for the third and final Clemson City Council seat up for grabs this year came down to a 14-vote differential, with Clemson

Of the 834 total votes cast, McGuire edged Fulmer 424 votes to 410. The runoff was required when neither candidate surpassed the necessary threshold to win the third seat in the Nov. 6 general election. Robert Halfacre and Alesia Smith were the top two vote-getters in the election.
McGuire, who chairs the Clemson Planning Commission, congratulated Fulmer “on his excellent campaign.”
“I am thrilled and humbled,” McGuire said. “I thank everyone who
