News From KC Council Smart Growth Committee Formed
By: Council Chairman Ben Connell
As your County Council Chairman, I want to speak directly to the citizens of Kershaw County about where we are headed and how you can help shape our future.
The county is actively engaged in reviewing and approving its updated Comprehensive Plan, a blueprint required by law that will guide growth, land use, infrastructure, transportation, and quality‐of‐life policies for the next decade. This isn’t just a technical document, it is a map of our shared vision for Kershaw County’s future. Whether in Elgin, Bethune, Camden, Lugoff, or our rural areas, your input matters. How do we balance growth and preserving our rural character? Where should new infrastructure or utilities be prioritized? How do we respond to pressures from neighboring counties and changing populations? Those are precisely the questions we need your voice on.
It is the policy of The Elgin News to encourage reader participation on its editorial page. Diverse and varied opinions are welcomed. Because of space limitations, we must limit all contributors to one letter per person per month. Letters of 200 words or less will be published unless they contain language or content that the editors feel is inappropriate.
Examples of content that will cause letters to be rejected include the following:
• Disrespectful comments regarding a group's or individual's ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, religion, culture, or race.
• Poor taste.
• Endorsements for or complaints about individually named commercial products or services.
• Personal attacks.
The Elgin News will not knowingly publish factually incorrect information.
Only letters written exclusively to the newspaper will be published. Letters to a third party or those written to more than one newspaper are not accepted.
Letters written in response to other letter writers should address the issue at hand and, rather than mentioning the writer by name, should refer to the headline and date the letter was published. Discourse should be civil and people should be referred to in a respectful manner. Letters referring to news stories should also mention the headline and date of publication. All letters must be signed and include the writer's street address or route address telephone number, which will be used for verification purposes only.
We welcome your input. You may write to us by e-mail at elginnews@gmail.com or by regular mail at:
Letters to the Editor
The Elgin News P.O. Box 152 Elgin, SC 29045
To ensure land use guidelines and regulations are responsive to local needs, County Council has established a Smart Growth Committee composed of volunteers and leaders from across the community. This committee meets regularly, evaluates data, hears public input, and develops recommendations to present to County Council. Their work helps bridge the gap between community aspirations and planning reality.
All Smart Growth Committee meetings are open to the public, and we encourage you to attend. By participating in those sessions, or by submitting comments in writing via email to county staff, you help the committee and Council understand what matters most in your neighborhood. Meeting dates, agendas, and materials are posted on the Kershaw County website and in local media where appropriate. The more voices we hear, the better the plan will reflect the hopes and concerns of Kershaw County citizens. Together, we can build consensus on smart, sustainable growth that supports economic opportunity, protects our environment, and maintains the character of our rural and agrarian areas.
In addition to planning for our future, I want to take a moment to offer gratitude and recognition to our first responders who, on the night of September 20, 2025, battled a major fire at the former Hermitage Mill Plant, also known as the DeRoyal Textile building, on York Street in Camden.
At approximately 10:54 p.m., an “all call” was issued, and fire departments and emergency services from Camden, Kershaw County, Lugoff Fire, Lancaster County, Lee County, and Sumter responded in a unified effort. The structure was engulfed in heavy fire, with flames breaking through the roof in multiple buildings. For safety, crews operated primarily from a defensive aerial posture using ladder trucks and exterior operations to contain the blaze.
Thankfully, no injuries have been reported to date, and we understand smoke conditions did not pose a wider threat to surrounding neighborhoods. This event has been reported as one of the largest and most intense fires in Kershaw County in decades. To all who raced to the scene, firefighters, EMS crews, police, and other personnel and support staff please accept our gratitude. Your professionalism, courage, and coordinated efforts prevented further spread and protected the safety of nearby areas in the face of a difficult and historic blaze.
The Elgin News builds community and brings people together by informing everyone about local businesses, services, schools organizations, government, activities, events and other information useful for becoming involved. It helps those who live and work in Elgin to get to know each other as people and to become friends.

Elgin Police Department Incident Reports
Civil Disturbance: Officer was dispatched to 2464 Main Street on the report of a civil disturbance wherein the management of the business wished for the subject to be given a trespass notice. Upon Officer's arrival, the subject of the report had left the area. Officer made contact with the complainant who related that a white male, identified as the subject, was in the teller line and started a disturbance that became very loud and disruptive - ultimately referring to the tellers as "n*****"s. When Elgin Police was being called, subject left the scene in a hurry. Complainant stated that subject was driving a Ford Escape or Fusion, license number XXXXXX. He was described as a white male and was in possession of a check from Capitol City Motorcycle to which subject had recently sold a motorcycle. Complainant stated that subject was no longer welcome in the Elgin Branch of the First Citizen's and wished for him to be provided trespass notice. Trespass notice created and will be served as soon as possible. See investigative notes for further. BWC activated during discussion.
Shoplifting: The Complainant, employee of the Victim (Food Lion), contacted Central Dispatch requesting law enforcement in reference to a shoplifting that already occurred. The Reporting Officer arrived to find the Complainant standing out front speaking with an white male parked in an SUV in front of the store. It was determined this was a witness who observed the Suspect depart the store and he attempted to follow her, but the vehicle was able to evade him. The Witness advised it was a younger black female (25-30) with long red hair driving and the Suspect got into the front passenger seat. He stated he tried to box them in, but they were able to get away and head down Pine Street toward White Pond Road. However, he advised the vehicle turned around in someone's yard and went down Pine Street where it ran through the parking lot of the old Casa Maria restaurant at Main Street. He stated the vehicle didn't yield and made a right onto Main Street toward Lugoff. That was when he lost the vehicle. The Complainant advised the vehicle was a grey Toyota Prius and Complainant identified the tag number. She advised the Suspect also had another open case where she stole previously and provided case number 25-0900598. The reporting officer and the Complainant then went into the office where CCTV footage was able to be reviewed. The footage revealed the Suspect actually came into the store three different times. The Suspect was an older black female (50-
55) who was wearing a black t-shirt with "I heart FM" on it with read pants and white shoes. Still photos were taken and attached to the report. The Suspect first entered the store at 1304 hours at Entry Exit 2. She went to the meat department where she is observed picking up what appears to be five packs of steaks (approximately $135) and places them in her large black bag. She then exited at Entry Exit 1 passing all points of sale at 1315 hours. She goes to the vehicle, which was backed in and occupied by an unknown driver. After emptying the steaks from the bag she returned to the store. The Suspect entered a second time at 1316 hours at Entry Exit 1. She went to aisle 11 with a grocery cart and loaded five Gain liquid laundry detergent jugs ($104.95). She then exited again passing all points of sale at Entry Exit 1 at 1321 hours. She is observed going back to the vehicle where she loads the detergent into the vehicle. She returned to the store a third and final time. She entered at Entry Exit 2 at 1322 hours and returned to aisle 11. Once there she again loaded laundry detergent into a grocery cart. However, this time it was four packs of Tide Pods, three more Gain jugs and one Tide liquid jug ($181.92). She again passed all points of sale a final time without rendering payment for any of the items and exited the store at Entry Exit 2 at 1327 hours. The total approximate value of the stolen merchandise was $451. The reporting officer confirmed the Victim does wish to prosecute and for the Suspect if identified to be trespassed. The CCTV footage will be available from corporate at a later date. The reporting officers body worn camera was activated. Telephone Calls, Threatening or Harassing: The Complainant contacted Central Dispatch requesting law enforcement due to someone threatening to come to her house. The reporting officer arrived and made contact with the Complainant on the front porch. She advised she was in a relationship off and on for a year with the Suspect, but had broke it off. She stated she had him blocked on her phone and had no communications for two weeks. However, she was still able to see on her smart watch messages and calls coming in from him. She stated she unblocked him and advised him to stop calling her and it was unwanted contact. She advised the Suspect then called her six times during the above time frame an sent multiple text messages. She was advised to not respond anymore. She stated what concerned her was when he mentioned coming to her residence, which caused her to be concerned as he knows where she lives and has a child who resides with her. She requested documentation only and in the event the contact continues or he comes to her house she will contact law enforce-
ment again for further action. The reporting officer's body worn camera was activated. The Complainant did advise he lives in Winnsboro, but his drivers license had another address. The Suspect is also known to drive a red Chevrolet Silverado in the event officers observe it in the area of the Complainant's house.
Hit and Run Attended Vehicle: The reporting officer was dispatched to a hit and run on the 2400 Block of Main Street and was advised one party would be in front of Town Hall. The reporting officer arrived to find a grey 2016 Honda Accord bearing SC Tag on the shoulder with its flashers on. The Victim exited the vehicle and was identified by his South Carolina drivers license. He was able to show all necessary documents to the reporting officer. He advised he was at the BP (2458 Main Street) where he got gas. He advised next to him was a grey sedan that had rims with a B in the middle like a Bentley symbol. He advised it was being driven by a white male, who was approximately 35-40 years of age. He had black hair that was all twisted. The Victim stated there was also a black female in the vehicle with him. Once done getting gas, the Victim exited onto Main Street, but stopped to turn into Food Lion, and the other vehicle departed behind him. Once stopped he felt his car get rear ended. There was visible damage on the rear of his vehicle. He advised he got out and spoke to the driver and agreed to pull over to allow traffic to flow. Once he pulled over he advised the vehicle fled down Main Street to Church Street, where it ran the light and made a left toward White Pond. He stated he would be able to recognize the driver. He was unable to provide any further details about the vehicle. The Victim was provided a case number and advised he would like for law enforcement to investigate. He was advised it may take some time and a wreck report would be pending the investigation. The reporting officer's body worn camera was activated.
Bench Warrant: Officer was advised the Suspect was at the incident location (Lexington Count Detention Center) and Elgin PD had an active bench warrant. The reporting officer responded to the incident location on the way to work and served the Suspect with a failure to appear bench warrant for simple possession of marijuana. He was placed under arrest and in mechanical restraints that were double locked and checked for tightness. He was then transported to KC Detention Center. The Suspect was removed from NCIC by Central Dispatch. He was marked as served in LawTrak. Officer's body worn camera was activated.
The 'Star' of LEHS Homecoming
By: Liz Simon, Staff Writer
Lugoff-Elgin High School’ s 2025 Homecoming Queen Star Robertson spent most of her life growing up in the heart of Texas. She and her family (Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Roberson) moved to Lugoff in 2021 before she began her sophomore year. Star said, “Thirty-five girls signed up to compete for the crown, and I was the only junior. To campaign for the title, girls were allowed to pass out signs and put up posters. We were told no candy could be given out for votes. All students voted online Homecoming Week for their favorite contestant. When I won, the first person I hugged was Emaree Ray, the 2024 Homecoming Queen. I don't know her, but I was so excited I could have jumped into anyone's arms.”
Other girls in the Homecoming Court were first runner up Shani Haltiwanger, second runner up Faith Tredway, Johanna Williams Spirit Queen, and Michelle Scott Spirit Princess. The Demons also won the homecoming football game.
In addition to her role as homecoming queen, Robertson participates in the ACE program (formerly AP Capstone), Link Crew, National Honor Society, Beta Club, and wrestles for the LEHS wrestling team. She supports the development of female participation in wrestling at LE. Outside academics and school clubs, Star contributes to her community by assisting neighbors with tasks such as mowing lawns.
Star has worked weekends at The Fitness Zone in Lugoff for over a year. Fitness Zone owner George Gibson said, “First of all, Star is a fast learner, hard worker, and a young lady with a strong sense of personal responsibility for the quality of her work. Her intelligence, strong work habits, and warm personality make her one of the finest young people I have ever had the pleasure of supervising.”
Star is also an athlete. She has wrestled for almost four years, starting in eighth grade due to her interest in martial arts. Last year, she competed in the 115 lb. weight category. Wrestling has always been a unique opportunity for Star. One of her favorite memories from last season was when all four of the girls who wrestled on the team were off weight and stressed about getting their weight down for the big day ahead of them. Moments like these are the ones she cherishes the most.
She said, “I can't wait to watch girls excel in the sport of wrestling. Last
year was the first time I had the opportu nity to wrestle with other girls on the same team.”
student coming to Lugoff-Elgin. She said, “Do not be afraid to put yourself out there. I would rather be myself than pretend to be someone I'm not. A new environment can seem scary, but new experiences might be the start of something amazing. I'm grate ful for this opportunity to represent Lu goff-Elgin, and I thank God for providing everything that brought me here. Before anything else I'm a God-fearing woman. I absolutely love people. One of the most important things is that I'm a friend to everyone. I would do anything to make sure someone doesn't feel alone. A fun fact about my name is it isn't ‘Star’. It’s just a nickname. My parents named me Zaria which means ‘sunrise’ and ‘morning star.’
history. She enjoys reading even books that seem boring. One of Star’s favorite books is The Great Gatsby. It was a romance but with twists from Gatsby’s mysterious past and big American dreams. She also loves to write. Some of her favorite teachers throughout high school have been Honors English 3 teacher Mrs. Mullis, AP seminar teacher Mrs. Proctor, AP research teacher Mrs. Connell, and AP U.S. history teacher Mr. Boyce. She remarked that these teach ers made some of her harder days a lot bet ter. Even when the class was difficult, they helped her grow as a student.
Star continued, “LEHS is a school full of people with amazing futures. I have met some of my closest friends here. There's no such thing as a perfect high school, but the kindness of my classmates and teachers makes it feel like ours might be the exception.”

Project Lifesaver & The KC Sheriff ’s Foundation
Your KCSO received a call on April 24, 2025 just after 7pm that an 8-year-old, special needs child ran away from his home in Cassatt. Your KCSO dispatched K9s and your Kershaw County Fire Service dispatched drones to search the area. Fortunately, KCSO Sgt Bobby Hager placed a Project Lifesaver tracking band on the child (with his parent’s permission) a few weeks earlier when he ran away from his school. Sgt Hager responded to Cassatt and was able to locate the child shortly after arriving on the scene around 8:25pm.
In June of this year, Sgt Bobby Hager and Sgt Billy Sowell earned a Rescue Commendation from Project Lifesaver International. The award pointed out how the rescue demonstrated care and compassion for our citizens, as well as an outstanding example of Project Lifesaver membership dedicated to “Bringing Loved Ones Home”. Project Lifesaver works. It is a free service to Kershaw County citizens who meet certain requirements. It was originally purchased with grant money. It has been maintained since then by the Kershaw County Sheriff ’s Foundation. As our citizen’s needs have increased with population growth, the need for funding has also grown. We are in need of donations.
The Kershaw County Sheriff 's Foundation is
a 501©3 charitable organization established in 2011 to support the Kershaw County Sheriff 's Office to support the Un-Funded portion of the Department's needs and build a close relationship with all of the Citizens of Kershaw County.
