Two Serteen Club members each received a $3,000 scholarship from the Aiken Sertoma Club on June 1 during a Sertoma meeting at Newberry Hall.

Awarded grants were Jamilynn Flores, who attended Aiken High School, and Katie Rogers, who attended South Aiken High School.

Flores plans to attend Winthrop University.

Rogers, who wants to major in speech pathology, is headed to Clemson University.

Sertoma's Serteen program is for young people ages 11 to 19.

Flores was the president of Aiken High's Serteen Club, and Rogers held the same position in South Aiken's Serteen Club.

Both devoted many hours to working on and volunteering for a variety of school projects.

An Orangeburg man wanted in an attempted murder case has been caught, according to Orangeburg County Sheriff's deputies.

Robert Morton, 37, was arrested Friday in Florence by the Orangeburg County Sheriff's Office and U.S. Marshals Service, according to a press release.

Morton was wanted in connection to an apartment complex shooting in Orangeburg that happened 9 p.m. Wednesday at the Armstrong Terrace Apartments, police said.

A resident in the complex told deputies a man who had been shot three times approached her, according to reports.

The victim was transported to a hospital where he remains in critical condition, police said.

A bond hearing for Morton is set for 9 a.m. Saturday at the Orangeburg County Law Enforcement Complex, and a motive for the shooting is still under investigation.

The Savannah River Site is dismantling the building that used to house hundreds of 55-gallon drums containing radioactive transuranic waste, most of which has been shipped to a New Mexico repository.

Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, the site's management and operations contractor, is using a variety methods to dismantle and dispose of the 10,000-square-foot building, according to a press release.

Officials said the project will drive down associated costs.

One method used for the project involves a non-operational railroad boxcar that is now loaded with material and dismantled steel supports that formerly made up the walls and roof of the building known as Pad 16.

Using the salvaged boxcar as a waste storage container, the contractor avoided the purchase of eight additional containers, each costing nearly $4,000, to perform the same function.

"I really appreciate how we've come together as a team, dedicated to doing things smarter, safer and better while finding ways to cut costs," said Don Turno, the solid waste operations manager.

Another process efficiency associated with this effort involved gathering and using excess wooden pallets from across SRS that had been classified as low-level waste. The idea eliminated the storage of pallets that were no longer needed.

The Pad 16 structure previously stored transuranic waste - items such as clothing, tools, rags, residues, debris and other items contaminated with plutonium.

The waste was routinely shipped off to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad, New Mexico, before a radiation exposure incident in February 2014 shut down the facility until further notice.

The next phase of the project involves the pouring of a thick concrete cap to seal the flooring that remains at Pad 16. Approximately 450 cubic yards of concrete will be poured to create this protective cap.

In time, an engineered mound of fill dirt containing a continuous layer of clay will cover the interim concrete cap created for Pad 16.

The project is expected to be completed by July 31, six weeks ahead of the original schedule.

"We're not just working with our feet and hands, but our heads, as well, through use of our expertise in project management strategy," Turno said.

The S.C. Department of Transportation is asking for public input Tuesday, June 16, regarding plans to improve the intersection of Cooks Bridge Road and Wire Road.

The meeting will be held 5 to 7 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of Lighthouse Baptist Church, 2094 Columbia Highway.

SCDOT is in the process of developing plans to improve the intersection, intending to improve the intersection's safety and reduce the potential for accidents.

The proposed design is to convert the intersection into a single-lane modern roundabout, according to SCDOT.

The meeting will have an informal drop-in format where people can view maps and displays of the proposed project throughout the Fellowship Hall, and SCDOT representatives will be available to discuss the project on an individual basis.

The meeting, SCDOT said, is also to gather information on cultural or historical resources in the area.

For more information, call SCDOT Program Manager Casey Lucas at 803-737-1087. For individuals with disabilities who may require special accommodations, call Heather Robbins at 803-737-1399.

Savannah River Site employees may have again been impacted by a cybersecurity incident that potentially compromised federal employee data for Department of Energy workers.

The hackers were believed to be based in China, according to The Associated Press.

Officials were not able to confirm if SRS employees were impacted in the recent incident, but a letter written by DOE Secretary Ernest Moniz states the U.S. Office of Personnel Management recently became aware of an incident affecting its systems and data.

In October 2013, Savannah River Site employees were affected by a cyber identity theft incident that included approximately 104,000 Department of Energy past and present federal employees.

The most recent breach may have exposed the personal information of current and former federal employees.

In response, the office has partnered with Homeland Security, the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team and the FBI to determine the impact.

Officials are notifying approximately 4 million individuals whose Personally Identifiable Information may have been compromised. The notifications will be sent beginning June 8 and continue through June 19 by email and U.S. mail.

In order to mitigate the risk of fraud and identity theft, the management office will offer affected individuals credit monitoring services and identity theft insurance through CSID, a company that specializes in identity theft protection and fraud resolution.

The 18-month membership includes credit report access, credit monitoring, identity theft insurance and recovery services and is available immediately at no cost to affected individuals identified, Moniz said.

Employees whose information was affected will receive a notification directly from CSID.

"This incident reminds us all of the seriousness of the cyber threats we face and the importance of vigilance in protecting our systems and data," Moniz said.

State legislators in the Aiken County Legislative Delegation are satisfied with some bills they were able to get to S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley's desk, but admitted the General Assembly came up short in other areas.

The South Carolina Legislature closed its doors for the year Friday, ending a session with some major bills becoming law and others likely being sent back to the drawing board. Legislators will return for a three-day, special session June 16 and won't start a new session until January.

Domestic violence

S.C. Sen. Shane Massey, R-Edgefield, said the most significant bill the state government passed was a domestic violence bill, which was signed into law by Haley on Thursday morning.

The bill serves as a compromise between the S.C. House and Senate and looks closer at degree of injury and bodily harm to victims to determine punishment.

Under the compromised bill, penalties applied to offenders will be based on a new category system, the Domestic Violence High and Aggravated Nature, or DVHAN. The system has first, second and third degrees for offenses based on degree of injury, number of occurrences and possible aggravating circumstances.

The bill puts gun bans for DVHAN first degree and second degree offenses where moderate bodily injury is present.

When moderate bodily injury is not present for second- and third-degree offenses, judicial discretion is warranted, according to the bill.

Gun penalties can range from a lifetime ban, a 10-year or three-year ban or a ban issued using the discretion of a judge.

"It's not going to eliminate the problem, but it's a step in the right direction," Massey said. "You want to try to get the guns out of the hands of the really violent people. And, also, you have to trust judges to make the right call."

Body cameras

Passed by the General Assembly and on Haley's desk is the Walter Scott body cam bill, a bill named following the April 4 fatal shooting of Scott by North Charleston police officer Michael Slager.

An eyewitness to the shooting caught the incident on video with his cellphone.

Slager has since been fired and charged with murder.

The bill gives law enforcement agencies nine months to create body camera policies, which would be approved by the S.C. State Law Enforcement Training Council. Agencies can then apply for money to pay for the cameras.

However, the bill restricts when body cam videos can be released to the public and stops video from being released under the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA.

Videos will be made available to police officers and subjects in the video. From there, those groups can decide whether to release video to the public.

The bill stops others, including media outlets, from gaining access to video before trial, unless officers and subjects in the video make it available.

On the removal of the FOIA power, Rep. Bill Taylor, R-Aiken, referenced the Sixth Amendment, which guarantees the right to a fair trial.

"The sixth amendment trumps all when seeking a fair trial," Taylor said.

Massey added the bill is designed to protect officers and the people officers are interacting with in the video.

Outside of those parties, Massey said it is unnecessary for every video to be made available for public consumption unless there are claims of abuse or a death.

"I don't know if it serves any real purpose to have every video being subject to being posted on YouTube," he said.

FOIA/ethics legislation

A FOIA bill passed through the House in February but never made it out of the Senate. The bill was designed to create transparency in government and provide easier access to government and public information for residents.

If passed, the bill would shorten the time government entities have to allow residents and public bodies to resolve FOI disputes without having to file a suit in Circuit Court.

In addition, the bill would cut the time for receiving a requested response for information from 15 days to 10 days.

All but one member of the Aiken delegation voted for the passage of the bill.

S.C. Rep. Chris Corley, R-Graniteville, stood his ground in his belief that the bill would put unnecessary time constraints on government entities to process information requests.

"I don't want us to go from 10 days to seven days to three days and it get to a point where we have to grow government offices just for FOI requests," he said. "Outside of that, I'm in support of stronger FOI legislation."

The passage of the bill garnered immediate support from Taylor, who has been the primary sponsor of the bill for the past two sessions and been fighting for its passage for five years.

"It's about regular citizens having access to materials from a government that they pay for. It's the people's government, and they have a right to know," Taylor said. "So, it makes it much easier and less expensive for the public to access documents."

In similar fashion, an ethics bill was passed in the House in January, but also died in the Senate.

Massey and Corley said the bill failed because some senators preferred an in-house ethics committee rather than having an independent committee evaluate issues that question a legislator's integrity.

"It's really difficult to tell the people of South Carolina that if they do something wrong, police will get involved and they'll have to go before a judge. But if we (legislators) do something wrong, we'll police ourselves," Corley said.

State budget/supplemental funds

The regular session ended Thursday without the Legislature passing the state budget.

The budget bill is in a Conference Committee where senators and representatives are both hashing out the details. Legislators are optimistic that the budget will pass during the special session beginning June 16.

Whether the General Assembly can pass a separate, supplemental funds bill, or incorporate that surplus money into the budget bill, is still in the air.

Surplus funding totals $302 million, and Haley has said most of the funding should go toward roads and bridges.

The Senate version of the surplus bill looks to provide $150 million for infrastructure and another $70 million for redesigning the area near the Berkeley County exit on I-26, a part of the state's recent Volvo acquisition.

Debates flared up earlier this week on if the state should borrow the funding or use surplus dollars, but S.C. Rep. Bill Hixon, R-North Augusta, is in favor of the latter.

"I see no reason to borrow money when you have the cash to pay for it," Hixon said.

The Senate was also seeking $4.1 million for ice storm cleanup - which would include $1.6 million for Aiken - but the House's version of the bill removed the funding.

Hixon added an amendment to the bill in an effort to regain the funding.

"Aiken County's trying to balance their budget; and they have it in there that they'll be getting it, so we need that funding," Hixon said.

Aiken County Council member Chuck Smith indicated Tuesday at a budget work session that the nonrecurring $1.6 million the County expected to receive from the state for ice storm reimbursement could help offset the County's expected $3 million deficit in the County's budget.

This deficit has prompted Council to explore ways to increase revenue, including a possible millage rate hike, which could increase property taxes for county residents.

The Farmers Market in The Alley offered something for every palate during its opening night Thursday in downtown Aiken.

From handmade crafts, to fresh vegetables and fruits, even puppies up for adoption, Aiken residents couldn't walk through The Alley without catching a glimpse, or a whiff, of what local farmers, residents and some visitors had to offer.

The market, held by the City of Aiken and the Aiken Downtown Development Association, is held from 5 to 7:30 p.m. each Thursday through Aug. 13.

Even though the Farmers Market had yet to officially open Thursday, The Alley was already packed with vendors selling anything from tie-dye clothing, baked goods, local honey and hand-painted gourds.

"This is a very good crowd for the very beginning of the event, and we're just excited to have everybody back down here; and what's great is we have more people than we did last year," said Avery Spears-Mahoney, director of the Aiken Downtown Development Association.

One of those vendors included local baker Sarah Laughlin, the owner of Real Cookies on Brookhaven Drive.

Laughlin was participating in her first Farmers Market in The Alley, even though she has been baking cookies for a decade.

"I started baking around Christmas about 10 years ago, and I had baked 1,000 cookies just for kicks," she said. "But then I had to do something with them; and each year I would make a few more, and I would start to give them away. At one point, people started looking forward to getting them and would tell me I should sell them. So here I am."

Laughlin said all of her baked goods are made with real butter and real sugar.

Even though some people have dietary limitations, everyone always needs "a little bit of gluten and a little bit of chocolate," she said.

"If you're going to eat a cookie, eat a real cookie," Laughlin said.

Aiken County also operates its own Farmers Market, but Spears-Mahoney said for a City running its own market for a second year is "huge for downtown."

"This is another community event that draws everyone out to come do something fun for the summer," Spears-Mahoney said. "People bring their dogs, it's just a family event and just a good, fun evening in downtown Aiken."

The Aiken County Farmers Market is open from 8 a.m. to noon Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 115 Williamsburg St.

Joshua "Josh" S. Black has been named the new principal at Strom Thurmond High School.

The Edgefield County School District announced Black's selection at an end-of-the-year luncheon for faculty this week.

"I am extremely honored and excited to be chosen as the next principal of Strom Thurmond High School," Black said. "I look forward to both continuing and building upon the excellence of this school and community. It is my goal to make Strom Thurmond High School one of the elite high schools in the state of South Carolina. I will continue to work as hard as I can to improve the quality of education for the students of Edgefield County."

A native of Saluda, Black has been active at Strom Thurmond High for the past eight years. He has been an algebra teacher, mentor teacher, FCA director, assistant principal, testing coordinator, leader of the newly formed Freshman Academy and administrative leader of the TAP program.

Also, Black has been the head junior varsity baseball coach, head varsity baseball coach and assistant football coach.

An educator for 12 years, Black graduated from Mars Hill College in 2003 and earned a Master's degree in education from Lamar University in 2014.

Edgefield County School Superintendent Greg Anderson said Black will bring leadership skills to the school.

"We consider Strom Thurmond High School to be one of the premier high schools in the state," Anderson said. "It has great students, a great faculty and administrators and outstanding programs. Mr. Black has the ideal leadership abilities needed to maintain this range of excellence and to even take the school to the next level."

Edgefield County School Board Chairman Brad Covar agreed.

"We have been impressed with Mr. Black's leadership skills since he first arrived eight years ago," Covar said. "He has gained the reputation of being hard working and a motivated educator and communicates well with the faculty, students and parents."

Georgia Regents University is launching its Cyber Institute to develop research, new curriculum and outreach opportunities in cybersecurity starting this summer.

"We want to be known for cyber," said Joanne Sexton, director for GRU Cybersecurity Educational Initiatives. "The Augusta area has been growing in this aspect, and we want to be a major player in that."

"Cybersecurity is on everyone's agenda," said Gretchen Caughman, executive vice president for academic affairs and provost. "Some of our interest is the potential partnership with Fort Gordon, as well as NSA Georgia."

Caughman added Georgia is one of the top growing states for security jobs.

Both said Georgia legislators also have been active in the development of this program, particularly U.S. Reps. Rick Allen, R-Ga., and Lynn Westmoreland, R-Ga., who is chairman of the NSA and Cybersecurity Subcommittee of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

"They recognized the development of cybersecurity, and they are very supportive of the program," Sexton said.

The institute will provide the framework for all things cyber at the university, according to a press release.

Programs include a cybersecurity program through the Hull College of Business, a medical informatics program focused on protection of health information through the College of Allied Health, and courses on cyberterrorism through the Pamplin College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.

"Using the term cybersecurity definitely is new," said Sexton. "The needs for it have been around for a number of years. Because of the internet, we are extremely vulnerable."

The field of cybersecurity "is a great field to go into," Sexton said, adding there is a need for these jobs to be filled by qualified individuals, and the job demand isn't slowing down anytime.

An Aiken-based nuclear group will hear updates on progress at the Savannah River Site's MOX facility during a monthly breakfast later this month.

Citizens for Nuclear Technology Awareness, or CNTA, will host Kelly Trice, senior vice president for nuclear construction within CB&I's Power business unit.

The breakfast will be 7:30 a.m. on June 16 at Newberry Hall, 117 Newberry St.

The cost is $20 per person or $160 for a table of eight. Reservation must be made by June 11, and can be made by calling 803-649-3456 or emailing cnta@bell south.net.

Trice is the former project manager of CB&I MOX Services, the contractor for the MOX project. The project is part of a nonproliferation agreement with Russia to dispose of 34 metric tons of weapons-grade plutonium.

A Congressionally mandated study recently priced the entire plutonium program, from beginning to end, at $51 billion. That number has been disputed by MOX contractor groups and congressional supporters.

"I'm sure our audience will want to get his take on the probable funding picture for MOX ...," said Clint Wolfe, executive director of CNTA.

In addition, Trice is responsible for engineering, procurement and construction execution on all nuclear new build projects and nuclear services projects. Wolfe said Trice's knowledge in the field will allow him to provide updates on other projects, including Plant Vogtle and V.C. Summer Nuclear Station construction progress.

"These projects, taken together, provide around 10,000 jobs in our region, so his talk will concern major economic impacts," Wolfe said.

The MOX project employs 1,700 workers and is about 65 percent complete. The recent study was Part 1 of a look at MOX alternatives to plutonium disposition. Part 2 is expected to surface in mid-September.

According to the Aiken County Sheriff's Office:

A small plastic bag containing a clear, rocky substance was found on the doorstep of a business on Pine Log Road in Beech Island.

A 42-year-old Warrenville man reported that a known subject with whom he had a previous altercation stabbed the tires of his vehicle with an unknown object. Responding officers located the subject, who was highly intoxicated, placed him under arrest and transported him to the Aiken County Detention Center.

A Ridge Spring man reported a stolen vehicle.

A North Augusta man reported an unknown subject took his social security check without permission from the mailbox at his residence on Gilmore Avenue.

A Gloverville man reported the larceny of a vehicle that he had chained to a tree.

Nearly 30 years ago, the Rev. David Thompson came to North Augusta from New York City.

Serving as rector of Saint Bartholomew's Episcopal Church beginning in August 1985, Thompson is now on the cusp of retirement. On May 30, the congregation of St. Bart's came together for a celebration for Thompson and his family to honor his 30 years of service.

"I feel overwhelmed. It's a blessing to see everyone here," Thompson said of the gathered crowd. "It's going to be hard, but I believe it's time for me to leave - for us and the congregation. I believe that's what God is asking us to do. We're ready for the next chapter in our lives, but this has been a real blessing."

Thompson and his wife, Virginia, were given tokens of appreciation - from a prayer blanket to a scrapbook and a hand-drawn illustration of St. Bart's.

"St. Bart's reached out to me to create a gift for Father Thompson on his retirement," said church member Eric Sisk. "Mike Osteen specifically mentioned a pencil drawing of the church as a gift."

Sisk has been a member of St. Bart's for 22 years, all during Thompson's time. He called the pastor an important figure in the history of St. Bart's.

"He's really held the church together," Sisk said. "I've never heard a bad word spoken about him, and we all look forward to his sermons on Sunday. For me, he's reached out to my family in times of need to make sure we were taken care of."

Virginia said the congregation at St. Bart's made her family feel at home, which allowed them to serve the church for such a long time.

"Everybody being so friendly and supporting whatever was going on in our lives," she said. "It's going to be an adjustment to go to a church where everybody didn't know you when you walk in the door. It's really going to be different to go to a church and not already be part of the congregation."

For instruction on the future, Thompson told the congregation to keep an open mind and open heart in finding its next leader.

"I came here as a 34-year-old," he said. "I came from New York City, I was a Yankee in the eyes of many people. But you, with grace, got to know me, accepted me and began to work with me. I pray that when you hire your next rector, you will be as much as a blessing to that person as you have been to me. I hope you give that person the chance to stumble, fall, be right and wrong and help that person get over the wrongs so that you as a congregation can see the rights and the blessings together."
