Celtic Christmas set for Dec. 21 at Hagood Mill
PICKENS — Hagood Mill’s annual “Music in the Mountains” will wind up the year by hosting a multi-year tradition of a Celtic music-oriented yuletide celebration on Saturday, Dec. 21.
This year’s event will be held in memory of Ed Harrison, who made the Celtic Christmas concert the popular event that it is today. Music will be featured from noon until 3 p.m. There will be fiddles, uilleann pipes, penny whistles, guitars, mandolins and more, all playing different types of Celtic music, songs from around the world, jigs and reels as well as old-time music, all to celebrate the season with the folks at Hagood Mill and remember Harrison. The old gristmill and other demonstrations will be running from 10 a.m. until 4 a.m.
In 2004, the Hagood Mill staff approached well-known local uilleann pipe player

COLUMBIA — For the full regular season and through four weeks of the AAA playoffs, the Daniel Lions were undefeated.
But the entire season came down to one play, one second on the scoreboard clock at Saturday’s AAA State championship game at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia.
In that one second, Daniel players, coaches and fans alike had their dreams of a perfect season ripped from their grasp as they watched Myrtle Beach kicker Sean Huggins’ 23-yard field goal split the uprights, handing the Lions their only defeat of the season in a 24-21 loss for all the marbles.
“Our guys played well — it was 21-21 with a couple of minutes to go,” Daniel coach Randy Robinson said. “Unfortunately they got the game-winning field goal, but I am proud of my guys and my coaches. They fought hard tonight. Once the sting goes away, they will realize they were 14-1 and the Upper State champs.

The following is an excerpt from the presidential order to lower the flag to half-staff as a mark of respect for the memory of Nelson Mandela issued by President Barack Obama last Thursday, an order our county sheriff chose to disregard.
“As a mark of respect for the memory of Nelson Mandela, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its territories and

This year I’m moving from that group of people who do not buy Christmas gifts because they are broke to the group of people who buy limited and very poor gifts because they are nearly broke.
Next year I hope to move to the group of people who buy nice Christmas gifts because they can afford it. I am almost there, except for that “afford it” part. But at least I can let people know I appreciate them, though honestly my gifts are not good indicators of how much.
