A grateful letter thanks a man who returned a lost purse at a local grocery and praises the coroner and sheriff deputy who aided a grieving family. The writer notes in praise the sheriff's department and an elderly townwide appreciation for community kindness.

The SCDHEC will hold a Tuesday 6:30 p.m. information meeting at the Aiken Electric Cooperative to explain registering agricultural surface water withdrawals with Walther Farm in Windsor used as an example. The event is not a public hearing and aims to explain the process and answer questions.

The Friends of the Edisto have filed for a contested case hearing challenging the approval under environmental laws.
