The uninvited guests
It was a beautiful December morning. The sun was shining on the horses, who were grazing in the pasture.
I was looking out the kitchen window at the scene when I noticed two dark figures walking through the fallen leaves beneath the oak. It 
took a moment to realize what I was seeing. There were two large black hogs ambling around the horses, snuffling and rooting through the leaves.
Apparently they were eating acorns, which we have an ample supply of.
I hadn’t seen them before and have no idea where they came from.
At first, I was afraid we had an invasion of wild boars. But a closer look revealed that these

‘Twas just weeks before Christmas
T’was just weeks before Christmas and all through the town, people hurried and scurried, faces scrunched in a frown.
No dolls or toys for good girls and boys, no holiday deals or red-hot sales ploys.

The supply chain is clogged up just like I-85, and everyone’s hoping that they can survive a

A season to remember in Central
Another season has come and gone, and once again the D.W. Daniel Lions are state champions.
Last year, when the Lions won their first state championship since 1998, I said that I didn’t think coach Jeff Fruster and the Lions would make us wait 22 more years for the next championship. I even thought they had a pretty good shot at coming right back and winning the title this season.
With that said, if you asked me a month ago if Daniel was going to win back-to-

COLUMBIA — Going into Friday afternoon’s Class 3A state championship game against the Camden Bulldogs, it would have been hard to describe the Daniel Lions’ performance on the gridiron over the past couple seasons as anything but dominant.
The defending state champion Lions entered with 23 wins in a row — with every victory coming by 14 points or more — and
