After West Nile virus case reported, SC town to spray for mosquitoes: Where & when

A case of West Nile Virus was recently reported in Anderson County, prompting Anderson County Emergency Management to hire a company to spray for mosquitos. So far this year, South Carolina has had 30 cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control. California has had the most cases at 452. Gregory Pest Solutions will be spraying for mosquitos in a one-mile radius of Barnes Station Road and Manning Road in Iva late Friday, Nov. 13, depending on the weather. “The water-based pesticide used during spraying does not pose a health risk to humans or animals, however, beekeepers with hives in the area should arrange to relocate or cover hives until spraying is complete,” the Emergency Management Agency said. Earlier this year, the South Carolina Department of Public Health confirmed two outbreaks of West Nile virus. There were four cases in the Midlands and two in the Lowcountry. There were also two cases confirmed in Richland County in early August. A number of cities and counties have sprayed for mosquitoes this year including Myrtle Beach, Columbia, Charleston and Horry County. The Charleston program used aerial and truck-based spraying, along with catch basin treatments, after cases of West Nile virus were confirmed.

Do highway plans include being built on your SC property? What are your rights

South Carolina and the rest of the nation have a sprawling network of roads, many made possible through the government’s ability to acquire private property. The process in South Carolina is known as the Eminent Domain Procedure Act , which allows government agencies to acquire private land in exchange for just compensation and public benefit. South Carolina property owners are at risk of losing small portions of land or entire homes through the power of eminent domain. However, there are certain requirements that need to be upheld. Here’s what to know if you are facing property acquisition by the government. What is eminent domain? Eminent domain, as allowed by federal and state law, is the authority for government agencies to acquire property from private owners as long as there is a public benefit and if just compensation is provided. It is used in cases of building schools, universities and power and gas lines, but it is most notably used when a road needs to be constructed, said Rob Shelton, eminent domain lawyer at Bellamy Law Firm in Myrtle Beach.

‘The Price is Right' for winner of South Carolina lottery game's grand prize

When a fan of “The Price is Right” saw that the South Carolina Education Lottery named a scratch-off ticket after the game show, he bought two tickets, officials said Thursday in a news release. The numbers he revealed on one scratch-off ticket were definitely right, as the man won the game’s $200,000 grand prize , according to the release. The six-figure winning game was sold for $5 at the K D store on South Palmer Street in the Ridgeway area of Fairfield County, officials said. The man didn’t say how he plans to spend his newfound windfall, but told officials “life has changed a little bit.” The winner will be allowed to retain some privacy, as South Carolina is one of 11 states — along with Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Texas and Virginia — that allow lottery winners to remain anonymous . It was one of “ The Price is Right ” lottery game’s four grand prize winning tickets, officials said. Two more game tickets carrying the grand prize are still unclaimed. The winner overcame 810,000-to-1 odds to capture the game’s jackpot, according to the release. The K D store received a $2,000 commission
