CCNE grants accreditation for Southern Wesleyan University nursing degree
CENTRAL — The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) granted accreditation for 
the RN to BSN degree program at Southern Wesleyan University.
“This was a major program initiative at Southern Wesleyan over the past two or more years in that we have heard the call from our communities for well-prepared bachelor degree nurses,” SWU president Dr. Todd Voss said. “Our RN bachelor of science in nursing program is extremely high quality and focuses on the kinds of areas the health care profession is seeking to fill. We are so delighted to
Cool as a cucumber summer salads

Take advantage of cucumbers that are really fresh. Buy local if
possible. Did you know that some cucumbers lie around in the grocery store for days and days before going home with consumers? So, when you buy them, get the freshest ones you can find.
Right from the garden is best. If a drought is going on, cut the stem end off about a half an inch, as dry weather will make that end of the cucumber bitter.
They say now that it is safe to eat cucumber peel. And that may be, but I always peel mine, because anything a hog won’t consume can’t be that good. It is a matter of personal preference.
These recipes are easy, cool and refreshing. I hope your family enjoys them as much as mine does.

CU football players lead peaceful protest

CLEMSON — On Saturday evening, approximately 3,000 people — nearly all of them dressed in 
black — gathered on Bowman Field and later took to the streets in
the name of change.
For Darien Rencher — one of four members of the Clemson football team who helped organize the Clemson Community Peaceful Demonstration — the moment overwhelmed him when he
Name changes a sure sign of tipping point?
I was somewhat stunned when I heard last Friday that Clemson University’s trustees had just decided to abandon their stubborn reluctance to taking “Pitchfork” Ben Tillman’s name off the most 
prominent building on campus.
This is a sure sign that we have reached some kind of a tipping point in race relations as a nation.
The issue had been a thorn in the trustees’ side ever since groups of students, many of them African-Americans, began raising the obvious point that it seemed wrong to have the landmark of an institution dedicated to 21st-century values named after an avowed advocate of lynching of black South Carolinians.
I admit, my first reaction when people began to call for the name change a few years ago was that it just wouldn’t seem right for that
Roper: ‘The threat is still out there’
County administrator discusses rising number of COVID-19 cases

COUNTY — Pickens County has passed the threshold of 109 active COVID-19 cases, acting 
administrator Ken Roper announced last week.
During a Facebook Live video on Friday, Roper said he wanted to talk to residents for two reasons — test results seen over the past week or so and information from the governor’s office and state epidemiologist Dr. Linda Bell.
“Those two things taken together are kind of concerning,” he said. “We added 14 new cases in Pickens County, new positive cases for COVID-19, (Thursday). We now have a total of 242 cases that have been tested positive since March 20 in Pickens County.
Roper said as of Friday, Pickens County was listed as having 109 active cases — which correlates with positive tests in the past 14 days. After Roper’s video, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control reported 20 new cases in the
