Can’t do it alone -
Clemson Parks and Rec Director Steve Figueroa, shown with family members at the recent dedication of a new baseball field in his honor, said he is equally proud that another baseball field at the park was named in honor of Dave Geer, supervisor of facilities and operations, as well as a softball field in honor of Glenda Stone, office manager. Figueroa said the three have “formed a very good team together” that has grown over the years and likens the honor to being inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. “The Hall mates you go in with is what makes it really special,” Figueroa said.

State Fire Academy graduates 24, including local firefighter -
The South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation’s South Carolina Fire Academy graduated 24 students Feb. 22 from its seven-week firefighter candidate school in Columbia, including local Eric Kelley of the West Union Fire Department.
The firefighters from 19 fire departments across the state and one out-of-country department underwent a 280-hour training program of classroom and hands-on firefighting skills development.
The in-depth training, offered quarterly at the Fire Academy, includes emergency responder first aid training, hazardous materials operations training, auto extrication, flammable liquids and gas firefighting, rescue training, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Firefighter I and Firefighter II levels.
“This is a very challenging program that requires teamwork, in-depth study, extensive hands-on training with live fires, eight practical skills evaluations and six written tests to meet the National Fire Protection Association standards,” said Fire Academy Superintendent Ed Roper.
