Cumberland County school board election winners outline what's next

Eight of the nine Cumberland County Board of Education members will have professional experience in education when two newly elected members take their seats in December. Tom Hatch and Broxie Pone, both former educators, will join incumbent Jacquelyn Brown, who won reelection Nov. 3 . As Hatch and Pone prepare to join Brown to serve on a board facing decisions about school closures, student achievement and district finances, all three have outlined priorities that include improving school facilities, addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting teachers and staff. During the Nov. 3 election, Hatch received 26,038 votes, incumbent Board Vice Chair Brown received 22,240, and Pone received 20,680, according to unofficial results. The election was for three at-large seats. Brown held one, while the other two became vacant after Board Chair Judy Musgrave died in June and Greg West chose not to seek reelection so he could run for the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners. Hatch and Pone are former educators, while Brown worked for Cumberland County Schools for nearly 30 years as an assistant teacher and administrative assistant. Other board members whose seats were not up for reelection include Dr. Mary Hales, a retired Cumberland County Schools administrator; Delores Bell, who

BJ's Wholesale Club eyes a new location in Horry County. Here's what we know

A popular northeastern wholesale supermarket chain is looking to expand into North Myrtle Beach after opening its first Grand Strand location last year. BJ’s Wholesale Club submitted development plans to the City of North Myrtle Beach for a new location between Champions Boulevard and South Carolina Highway 90. The proposal comes after the company opened its first Horry County store in Myrtle Beach in February 2025. The warehouse chain uses a club system where only members shop in its stores, similar to Costco or Sam’s Club. BJ’s is based in Massachusetts and, according to its website, BJ’s has 8.5 million members across its 270 stores in 22 states. The Sun News was unable to reach the company for comment, but preliminary plans submitted to North Myrtle Beach reveal some details about the proposed location. The building would be around 106,628 square feet, including a 3,400-square-foot tire service area, with 381 parking spaces. The rendering also describes signage for a gas station.

Horry County WWII memorial honors Conway brothers, 4,000 others who served

CONWAY — On a clear day in the late 1930s, Horry County residents may have looked skyward to a wonderous sight. A fabric-covered, 40-horsepower Taylorcraft clipping the treetops — piloted by either James or Edward Norton, adventurous Conway High School seniors who took up flying after their parents said a motorcycle would be too dangerous. Within a decade, both men would be killed in action after carrying out a daring daylight air raid over Nazi-occupied Ijmuiden in Holland — but not until their B-26 Marauder was able to drop bombs on the heavily defended gas refinery. The Nortons — affectiona...

Wawa could be coming to Horry County-but some residents aren't happy about it

Wawa could be coming to Horry County. The Planning Commission unanimously approved Thursday plans to allow a new gas station convenience store to open in Little River – but residents aren’t happy. The request, brought by WW LLC as an agent for Baytree SC LLC, sought to amend a 3.14-acre parcel at Water Grande Boulevard and Highway 9 East for a convenience store with gas pumps and a car wash. Although the lot is currently zoned for commercial use, developers needed permission to install gas pumps at the site. The Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain has something of a cult following, particularly for its sandwiches and other fast foods. A new Horry County store would mark the first location in South Carolina. But not everyone’s pleased with Wawa’s plans. Hundreds of residents showed up at the Planning Commission meeting in opposition to the proposed convenience store. Several residents shared public comments expressing concerns that increased traffic would strain infrastructure, endanger public safety and displace wildlife. None of the comments shared as public input were supportive of the plans for a new Wawa. “That intersection is one of the highest collision intersections … I’m already taking my life in my hands trying
