Not everyone can rise and shine
People come in two categories. Some people are larks, and some are owls. The world is geared to larks. These people spring from bed early each morning. They whistle on their way to get coffee and talk 
loudly and incessantly to others. They may be unaware that the one they’re having a monologue with is not even awake.
But that’s how larks are. Rise and shine. And that’s exactly what they do.
Now owls are a different breed. They don’t fully wake up before noon, even if they’ve been dragged from their warm and cozy beds by larks. Owls stumble around and drink coffee. They

Letters to the Editor
Bullying
Dear Editor,
Bullying. Is your child at risk?
Are we too busy with everyday happenings to give attention to children to see the warning signs? Such signs as feelings of helplessness, loss of appetite and coming home with bruises or cuts — silent and withdrawn when normally happy and outgoing.

Forty percent of boys who were bullies in grades six through nine had three or more arrests by age 30. One out of every 10 students who drop out

An eclipse of SC’s Sunshine laws
Remember the August 2017 solar eclipse that carved a path through South Carolina? Bright daylight gave way to shadows, which then gave way to total darkness. Within minutes, of course, a summer day 
was again put into the sun’s bright light.
Another eclipse seems to be taking place in the Palmetto State. In this case, it is what the public should be privy to that is being eclipsed. Private organizations that have received public funds, such as chambers of commerce, have been given a free

Scones for morning, noon or night
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
Scones have been around forever in many parts of the world, but they 
just became popular in our region fairly recently.
Once encountered, they are never to be forgotten. There are many variations of this delicacy, from sweet to savory, but one of our most favorite is the cranberry orange scone.
Remember to keep a light hand. You do not want to overwork the dough. Make a batch, cool and pop into the freezer, then take out, thaw and reheat in the microwave for breakfast.
