Aiken County

We built a little golf course in the church parking lot next door which is now a practice area at sleepy hollow but we originally convinced the church to let us build a kids course over there and we built 18 little pitching potholes which you know i was the guy driving the push mower you know mclean couldn't afford gas so we had to use a old school push mower but so i've always had a passion and i've been looking in aiken since the early 2000s for land and i've had a lot of near misses twice with the land that became the tree farm And all of the land in this neighborhood, which is where I'm sitting right now, where I live.

And it's just a spectacular overlooked part of Aiken County that no one ever really thought about till five, six years ago.

And when I went to look for land, everyone steered me away from here.

I was attracted to the sand and that's just a really beautiful area.

Midland Valley has been a great, uh, a, a good one, a good one in, in that region.

Irmo goes down and plays every team in Aiken County [laughs] in region play.

So, uh, uh, back on the road for the Yellow Jackets there.

[smacks lips] Pee Dee, Grand Strand.

But Kyson McLeod, the all-time leading receiver for the Thoroughbreds, may have something to say about that as he goes up against this Yellow Jackets secondary.

Your thoughts, does Aaron Brand take his team down to Aiken County and get a win?

That's a tough trip.

That's a tough trip, tough place to win, but I have to believe Irmo's talent wins in the end.

Yeah, you're right.

If you look at the whole region, including Aiken County and Lincoln, McDuffie, and these others, Columbia County is going to be the population center.

So we need to drive those conversations and work with those partners.

Right, look all around.

[laughs] So one I can give you, um, is her, his name is Scott Singer.

Um, he was a former county councilman from Aiken County, um, which is, you know, uh, you, you would s- you could say is a mostly Republican county, or it goes back and forth.

It's Joe Wilson's district.

Um, but he was a, a, a lifelong Republican.

How does the Nuclear Waste Policy Act govern disposal, and what did In re Aiken County decide? The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of nineteen hundred and eighty-two, forty two U.S.C.

section, section ten thousand one hundred and one to ten thousand two hundred and seventy makes the federal government responsible for disposal of spent fuel, and Congress designated Yucca Mountain as the site in the nineteen hundred and eighty-seven amendments.

See source fourteen.

In re Aiken County, seven hundred and twenty-five F.3d two hundred and fifty-five, D.C. Cir.

two thousand and thirteen, granted mandamus directing the NRC to continue reviewing the Yucca Mountain license application to the extent appropriated funds remained.

Open questions, how well does retention in a natural uraninite and clay system predict the performance of copper canisters and bentonite over the one hundred thousand to one million year horizon that the Finnish regulator applied? The answer governs how much weight a repository safety case can place on analogs and therefore how much margin a spent fuel owner must budget.

So you do get some newness.

And like Irmo in this Aiken County region, essentially, is one of those examples.

Burns in a Greenville County region in 5A.

is one of those examples.

If you want to eat uncommonly delicious food made by a virtuoso, seek it out.

Food-savvy folks of Aiken County first discovered James Darby's talent about 10 years ago when he joined culinarian Christian Schaumann at the erstwhile Feel Good Food Truck.

Schaumann's menu was mostly hamburgers, fabulous ones, to which Darby added what he called a hamburguesa, a rugged, crunch-edged, pepper-charged chorizo patty smothered with PBR fondue.

About five years after that, he created Darby's Street Food, an umbrella-top cart parked in the lot outside an antique store.
