Geese vanish from South Carolina wildlife center
About 35 Canada geese flown to the Yawkey Wildlife Center near Georgetown last week have wandered off. Biologist Kirk Goolsby says the birds likely remain in the area, and if they joined a wild flock they could be farther away. A governor's order will close liquor stores on the Mondays after Christmas and New Year’s Day, with small exceptions for minibottles sold at bars and restaurants.

Derrick Leaves With No Regrets
Congress veteran Butler Derrick of South Carolina’s Third District reflects on twenty years in office as he departs with no regrets. He admits some positions may have cost him voter support yet says his votes served the people and he leaves the House without taint from bank and post office scandals. Derrick plans to join a Washington law firm, teach part time at USC, and split time between Edgefield and Washington, visiting his grandchildren in Buford, Georgia. He laments Congress failing to curb federal deficits while acknowledging the tension between keeping programs and balancing the budget.
