Selective thinning to begin in Hitchcock Woods this July
A thinning operation will bring heavy trucks to the northeast portion of Hitchcock Woods after the Fourth of July weekend. Trees marked for removal total about 115 acres to restore the longleaf pine ecosystem and improve understory sunlight for native grasses and regeneration. North Edisto Logging will perform the work, with temporary access closures on South Boundary Avenue and Coker Springs Road. Logs become lumber while limbs and small trees become wood chips sent to Ameresco's biomass plant for energy at Savannah River Site.

Forensic expert enters 2016 race for Aiken coroner
County official Clay Adams announced Monday his candidacy for Aiken County coroner, a race to appear on the 2016 ballot. Adams, a forensic lieutenant with the Aiken County Sheriff's Office, will face incumbent Tim Carlton in the Republican primary. Carlton, who has served since 1998, has faced a dispute over transportation contracts used to remove the deceased. Adams promotes procurement laws and vows to explain the coroner’s role while appealing to voters ahead of next year’s election.
