Among those getting the praise were the wide receivers, with Swinney projecting Beaux Collins to have “an amazing” year if he can stay healthy.

“Beaux is a great player.

There’s a reason why he could have gone wherever he wanted to, and he had a good freshman year. Last year, unfortunately, he battled through some injuries, but he’s still a young play-

He also had heaps of praise for sophomore

wideout Antonio Williams, who Swinney is expecting to build off a good freshman year with new starting quarterback

Cade Klubnik throwing the ball. “(Klubnik) is a vocal leader, he’s an encourager, he’s a very positive guy

and I love that about him,” Swinney said. “He just kind of oozes enthusiasm.”

He added that part of Klubnik’s role as a leader will be responding the right way to both good and bad days, which will be more and more important as camp drags on through Aug. 22. And while there is plenty of work to be done during those practices, Swinney said that right now, it’s all about enjoying being back out on the field.

“It’s just fun to finally get on the field and to be able to start. It’s one day, but, man, it’s an important day,” he said. “The margin for error is very small, we know that, so every day that ends in ‘y,’ we’ve got to find a way to be our best.”

TIGERS: Open fall camp, looking for eighth ACC championship in nine years and mistakes of the day before,” he said, noting that the Tigers don’t get to play preseason games as a warmup. “There’s no simulation of playing the game. Even when you get to scrimmage, you’re still going against each other.

To me, the opener is always the hardest game to prepare for because it’s the most amount of time that you’ve been off.”

And while camp might not be as good preparation as Swinney would like, it’s better than nothing, and there’s still plenty of excitement for it.

“We’ve got a really good group. All the metrics in our program and indicators of success are at an alltime high,” Swinney said.

CENTRAL — There hasn’t been any great secret to the Daniel High School football team’s success in recent years.

The Lions consistently focus on themselves, harp on the little things and take every game — and every play, for that matter — one at a time, and it has paid dividends in the form of a 41-game regular-season winning streak, along with two State championships and a 65-4 overall record dating to the start of the 2018 season.

And even while that narrow-minded focus remains in play this week, there’s no denying there’s a little extra juice when it comes to taking on Seneca.

That’s something Daniel head coach Jeff Fruster is keenly aware of as his top-ranked Lions (7-0, 2-0 Western 3A) get set to host the Bobcats (43, 1-1) tonight at Singleton Field, all while he said he and his staff have worked their best to ensure the squad continues to do all the things that has made it so successful over the years.

“It’s definitely some-

thing the kids are going to talk about no matter what,” Fruster said.

“This is a big week for both programs, and you kind of look forward to it on your calendars, but from a coaching standpoint, it would be very detrimental for us to change the approach, so we haven’t changed anything about how we’re choosing to approach the game.

“We’re still very much intrinsically motivated and making sure we’re taking care of Daniel.”

Daniel comes into the night having dispatched of its first two region

opponents — Walhalla and West-Oak — by a combined score of 108-10, and it’ll be looking for its sixth straight win in the rivalry series that dates to 1953 before there was even a physical school bearing the Daniel name.

The Bobcats, meanwhile, enter tonight’s game off a 42-28 home loss to Pendleton last week in a game they led 28-27 going to the fourth quarter.

Head coach David Crane — who, like Fruster for Daniel, played in the rivalry for Seneca in his younger days — said

Berkeley County councilman Josh Whitley is not running for a fourth term.

Five days before the April 1 filing deadline, the Republican announced he would step aside at the end of the year after serving almost 10 years representing District 2, which predominantly includes Daniel Island and the Clements Ferry corridor.

“I have young kids, and I’ll have more time with them,” Whitley said.

Whitley made the statement after pulling into a parking lot off Interstate as he and his family were headed south to Florida.

“I have had people wishing me to change my mind. It really means a lot. But I’ll be in isney World. There will be no filing, he laughed.

Whitley said several factors influenced his decision not to run, including the notion “too many people stay in elected o ce for too long.”

Whitley’s first term in erkeley County began after winning a special election in

Whitley led the county’s economic development and finance committee since 017 and points to the widening of Clements Ferry Road as one of his accomplishments.

“That was my priority, and we have lived up to that,” he said. “We are nearing the completion of Phase 2, so no question about it, that has had a tangible improvement of peoples’ quality of life, and I hear that from folks, and it’s gratifying to get the government to work positively.”

Whitley was among the county leaders who helped secure $100 million for road improvements in Berkeley County through a one cent sales tax referendum and federal funds. He also touted the efforts to lower Berkeley County’s tax millage calling it “the lowest tax millage in the state.”

“That’s an important aspect that I think we have gotten right,” he said.

Whitley said he has “zero plans” at this point regarding any additional political aspirations and said he will continue working as a lawyer on Daniel Island.

“I’m leaving county council with eight good friends – lifelong friends – and I’ll be working with them on projects in the future, I’m sure,” he said.

“I’m very fond of my colleagues. I leave with the highest esteem held for them.”

Two Republican candidates have filed for the District 2 seat. Daniel Island Neighborhood Association president Jarrod Brooks and Hanahan resident Timothy Sedgwick. No emocrats have filed for the seat.

The Republican and Democratic primaries for the bipartisan seat are scheduled for June 11, with the final election set for Tuesday, Nov. .

I’ve fielded a number of phone calls from interested people, and a number of them would be very good,” he said.

Whitley stopped short of endorsing any potential candidates, but in the initial press release announcing the decision to step aside, said he would be “looking for someone” who would restrict “massive neighborhoods from developing until Berkeley County has time to develop road infrastructure.”

Mare Sol’s sister restaurant, C’Sons, shares the same kitchen but has a more elevated, American-style menu where the lamb porterhouse is a signature dish.

ith so much on their dockets in relation to wedding planning, engaged couples can be forgiven if certain components garner less attention than others. The ceremony and reception are bound to stay on couples’ radar, but what about the time in between saying “I do” and cutting a rug on the reception room dance floor?

the reception hits full swing. hors d’oeuvres. However, older guests or guests with small children will appreciate some seating.

Couples need not ensure there’s a seat for each guest, but some strategically located high-tops and more traditional tables for guests with mobility issues can ensure anyone who needs to sit down can do so.

It’s easy to overlook the cocktail hour when planning a weeding.

However, some simple tips can ensure guests enjoy the time between the ceremony and reception.

Call us today : at

• Give guests something to do. If the cocktail hour will be a full hour or more, couples can consider ways to help guests pass the time. Some may be content to relax and chat with friends and family over a drink, but others may grow a little bored as the hour drags on. A photobooth or selfie station so couples can have a ready-made wedding album before the reception begins can be fun for guests. For less formal affairs, consider providing some popular outdoor games, like cornhole and bocce.

THIRD PLACE Cocktail hours are a great way to keep guests entertained between the ceremony and the reception.

Many couples use this period to take their bridal party wedding photos, so offering guests a little food and some drinks during a cocktail hour can benefit everyone. Planning a cocktail hour is not a significant undertaking, but couples can keep a few pointers in mind as they plan this interim period between the ceremony and reception.

Jana Schroeder and Kathy Googe The People-Sentinel &

• Opt for an outdoor cocktail hour when possible. Couples tying the knot in spring, summer or fall at a venue with ample outdoor entertaining space can choose to host the cocktail hour outside. This reduces the likelihood that guests will feel cramped and it also sets a positive tone for the remainder of the evening. A balcony, patio or rooftop entertaining area can be great spaces for guests to mingle prior to the reception.

Visitor data shows the greatest number of travelers are coming from the Charleston area; but numerous people come from Charlotte, Atlanta, Columbia and the panhandle of Florida. This same data provides insight into who is coming, how long they are staying and what they are doing while here, which feeds additional marketing and economic growth.

City sponsored events, such as Jazz on the Alley, and venues such as the Walhalla Performing Arts Center attract day-trippers from Greenville and surrounding areas.

The most popular tourism destinations in Oconee County, Visit Oconee SC staffers note, are the waterfalls, lakes and rivers.

Trails lead to 29 different waterfalls in Oconee County alone, and those trails are as beautiful as the falls themselves.

“People are in such a rush to get to the waterfall, they fail to enjoy and experience the hike itself,” Sloan said. “There are so many different things to see on the way in and out, and each season brings a different element of experience to the same hike.”

Oconee County is home to four lakes — Hartwell, Jocassee, Keowee and Tugalo — and each swells with visitors, especially on the weekends, as the landings get full and boaters

spring in Pendleton without the notes of a bagpipe drifting across the village green.

The bagpipe processional — a nod to Pendleton’s sister city of Stornoway, Scotland — returns on Saturday to kick off the annual Spring Jubilee. Everyone is invited to join the 9:45 a.m. processional, which starts at Hunter’s Store, before winding across the town green to the stage.

Once the final notes have faded, the juried art festival is officially open to the public.

Event organizer Jordan Bannister said the festival is featuring approximately 80 artists, with media ranging from metal and woodwork to jewelry to painting and pottery.

The annual jubilee started out with less than 20 artists and has had as many as 120 in the years following, but Bannister said the organizers like to keep the show around 80 artists to keep it more manageable — but that doesn’t mean eventgoers will see the same vendors each year.

“We get hundreds of applications and so we kind of like to make it a little competitive still so that we can offer the absolute best for the show,” she said. “With our jury system, we jury differently every year, so if you’ve participated in the past that doesn’t necessarily mean being able to join us every year.

we can make our visitors happy at the same time.”

SMALL SPACE

A ‘RESURGENCE’ OF ARTISTS

OVER 7,500 DIVISION

The pandemic also had an effect on the art community itself, according to Bannister.

“Post-COVID, we have a lot more applications of art vendors — names I don’t recognize, people who haven’t applied for the show before — because there is a big resurgence of people crafting,” she said. “I think the big impact on the art community, not based solely on our show, but on people having more time on their hands to develop their craft, and to become more skilled at something that they really love.

“There’s just been a big influx in people who are willing to do artistic work and make that as their living instead of accounting or shoe sales or whatever,” she added.

The types of art applicants make has also made a shift.

“We’re seeing a lot more small jewelry crafters, people who are able to do these things maybe in their downtime,” Bannister said.

“We have several artists who are nationally known, who are completely dedicated and have been for years to their art. And they’re competing and they’re distributing and showing alongside folks who are those first and second timers who are just getting used

THIRD PLACE The annual Pendleton Spring Jubilee returns downtown on Saturday and Sunday. The juried art show will take over the village green with work from more than 80 artists.

“It’s an interesting thing to see because we go for diversity, and we go for interesting, artistic applications,” she added. “Someone who has never seen this type of pottery, or who has never really considered photographing in this lighting or using this technology — they’re along the street sides together, and I think it’s really cool for their networking as well.”

WANT TO GO?

The 47th annual Pendleton Spring Jubilee will be held on the Pendleton Village Green from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

The live music lineup on Saturday includes Dave Donar, Cannon Cohen Trio and Conservation Theory. Sunday’s set features Jake Evans followed by Amongst the Trees. Food trucks will be onsite, and local nonprofits will have booths set up.

Exchange Street will be closed and East Main Street will be closed between Mechanic and Broad streets. Roads will close today at 3 p.m. and reopen at 7 p.m. Sunday.

Free parking is available on Mechanic Street at the Tri-County Technical College parking lot.

CATbus will provide shuttle service from the lot to the festival.

Larry Davidson and Melissa Bradley, The Journal, Seneca … We like to change judges and people who can get fresh eyes on it.”

Bannister added the festival gives its newer artists a taste of a different type of art show.

“What’s kind of really exciting about those new vendors — I think we have about 12 first-timers with us, or maybe a first and second year — is that if you’re even still just considering doing art professionally or doing these kinds of shows, Jubilee is a whole different game than a lot of other festivals and fairs that

folks present at,” she said.

When Bannister came on board six years ago, she wanted to “keep it pretty close to the vest” and keep the show dedicated to its intention of being a high-quality arts and crafts show.

However, she’s continued to modify and improve to make the festival experience better for everyone involved. Changes that came at height of the COVID-19 pandemic helped shape the way the festival has been organized in the years since. Booths have

The Daniel Island News ■

FIRST PLACE

It’s just after 11 a.m. on a recent Thursday at the Berkeley County Library on Daniel Island. A group of retirees trickle in as Sinéad O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” cries out from a smart speaker. As the song fades, someone mentions a Tony Bennett/Bill Evans album collaboration from 1975.

“Alexa, play ‘I Left My Heart in San Francisco!’” Tim Boyle suddenly shouts.

As the longtime librarian and branch manager of Daniel Island Library, Boyle is not just a fan of books. His lifelong passion for music and ability to casually bellow any lyric that comes to mind led to the formation of The Infinite ukebox, a twice monthly discussion group for music lovers. Every second and fourth Thursday from 11 a.m. to noon, Boyle leads the group in illuminating connections from all genres with the tap of his finger and a little help from technology.

“You get yourself a smart speaker and a Spotify account and you can listen to anything, anytime,” Boyle says, pointing to his prized device. It’s the Infinite ukebox and you don’t even have to put a quarter in it.”

The idea came to Boyle after chatting with library members about their shared appreciation for music.

The library already hosts well-populated book clubs and a writers group, but Boyle knew the community needed another outlet. y anuary of this year, oyle kicked off the first music discussion group with a bang, examining the day music died in the 1959 plane crash involving Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The ig opper .P. Richardson.

“We just go with what people are talking about,” Boyle explains. “It all depends on who shows up.”

The Westminster Music Centre is known for its Music on Main series, four shows with top-tier musicians from around the region. Executive director BJ Callahan said the array of fresh talent is one of the event’s “calling cards.”

“Our niche a little bit is finding these really unique, original bands and supporting them and connecting them with our music-loving audience,” he said.

The shows bookend the outdoor music season, with a set of shows in the spring and another in the fall to fill Main Street with music.

The physical building — also on Main Street — that will soon house the music center is under renovation, with the demolition phase nearing its end.

Callahan has revamped the center’s website so people can follow along with the project’s progress, as well as stay apprised of the Oconee Community Theatre newest musicians coming to town for Music on Main.

Next door in Seneca, the live performance scene remains vibrant with a variety of shows at the Oconee Community Theatre. Along with a full season of traditional productions — including an annual showing of fan favorite, “A Christmas Story”— the nonprofit group has also expanded its repertoire to include onenight-only dinner theaters, comedy nights and even a little bit of magic.

On the other side of the river, the Clemson Little Theatre has been a staple since its inception in 1931. It used to hold performances in buildings in and around Clemson University campus before it made its home in the Pendleton Playhouse. The theater boasts a full season of plays, from classics to comedies to mysteries. It also serves as center stage for Clemson Area Youth Theatre, which puts on shows starring a full cast of children under the age of 18 as a way to showcase Clemson Little Theatre the younger talent.

A number of variables affect how much engaged couples will spend on their weddings. Personal preferences, location and the season in which couples get married are just some of the factors that can affect the final cost of a wedding. However, one aspect couples can count on regarding wedding spending is the reception will likely require the most significant financial investment. The Knot 2022 Real Weddings Study found that

The study also found that the biggest investment couples make is the venue. Couples indicated they spent

about 37 percent of their overall budget on a wedding venue.

Though some couples may spend more than that and others may spend less, engaged couples currently planning their weddings should know that the cost of the venue where they will tie the knot will likely end up requiring the most significant investment of any component related to their wedding.

Heather Saputo Photography the average cost of a wedding in 2022 was $30,000.

to its pizzas, both Your Pie locations offer an assortment of salads, pastas and gelato.

Also be sure to try out Joe’s NY Pizza, which now has three different locations where you can dine in, or perhaps pick up a pie to bring back home. Seneca, Clemson and now Central have their own slice of Joe’s NY Pizza. Joe’s touts “the best pizza in the south” and that even your most picky eater will leave the pizzeria satisfied. Choose from an array of appetizers, calzones and strombolis, sub sandwiches and of course — pizzas.

Looking for some Latin flavor? You won’t just get hearty Mexican food when you step into Papa Julio’s in downtown Seneca — you’ll get an experience. Colorful décor and festive background music turn this popular dinner spot into a party, no matter what time it is. Papa Julio’s serves a full menu of tacos, quesadillas, nachos and other traditional Mexican dishes.

For those looking for something lighter, try dipping into some chicken wings or peel-and-eat shrimp while you taste test the drink menu — and perhaps decide if the restaurant’s claim of having “the best margaritas” holds any water.

In the mood to enjoy the nice weather? Take your chips and guacamole out to the front walk and settle into one of the tables for some al fresco dining.

If you’re looking for prime gameday eats — or any day — step on over to Clemson and visit Nick and Mike Bar and Grill. The restaurant gets its name from its owners, 17-year-old Nick and 15-year-old Mike Foster.

The restaurant’s origin stems from their dad, Russell, an entrepreneur and a former football player who opened the restaurant last year to show his sons “how to build something” and help create a promising future for the two.

The trio crafted a menu that features tasty bar food selections like burgers and fries, onion rings, beef sliders and a Cajun grilled chicken sandwich. The menu also switches it up with a variety of pastas, steaks, sandwiches, brunch items and delectable desserts — and, according to Mike, the restaurant has the best wings around.
