COUNTY FATHERS START A NEW YEAR WITH OPTIMISM

A sense of optimism pervades as the Oconee County councilmen start a new calendar year of government. Their organization meeting attracted a large number of family members and well-wishers as three members — Durham, Hart, and James — were sworn into four-year terms. Of the three, Tommy James is the newcomer. He succeeds Julian Davis as the District Four member. Durham retains his council chair seat. Don Mize is vice-chair and Glenn Hart is vice-chair pro-tem. Jennifer Adams returns as council clerk. Several appointments were made last night to the agriculture advisory board, the board of zoning appeals, and the library board of trustees. Chairman Durham announces appointments to the planning commission, aeronautics commission, the PRT, and the first board of Corinth-Shiloh fire commissioners will be made at the January 21 meeting.

MCCALL AND MCMAHAN GET COUNTY APPOINTMENTS

​Wayne McCall and David McMahan are back in the service of Oconee County. They, among many others, received appointments last night to county boards.

WINTER STORM RISK FRIDAY TO EARLY SATURDAY

The climatology office of South Carolina DNR predicts slippery travel likely across the Upstate Friday afternoon through Saturday morning from a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain. Frank Strait, severe weather analyst, says amounts will depend on the storm’s track and intensity. A storm tracking further south would bring more widespread snow and ice, while one tracking further north would mean less snow and ice and more rain. And he adds this: “Somewhere … and I can’t pinpoint exactly where just yet … between I-20 and I-85, I think we will see a corridor that gets a significant ice storm, with a quarter inch or so of ice buildup. That would be enough to strain trees and power lines, and cause slick bridges and overpasses.”
