People convicted of physical attack, sexual assault, and other abuse within a family or personal relationship could soon face a much harder road if a new domestic violence bill passes in the South Carolina State Legislature. Introduced in the State House on January 14 by co-sponsors Rep. Sarita Edgerton, R–Spartanburg, District 34, and Rep. Melissa Lackey Oremus, R–Aiken, District 84, this bill is specifically intended to provide a statewide database of individuals convicted of committing two or more acts of criminal domestic violence.
After several days of winter weather, icy roads and event cancellations, Spartanburg is ready to reemerge — and two local markets are helping the community do just that.
Welcome to The Cook’s Corner, where seasonal recipes and everyday favorites are shared from kitchens across our community. Each week, we feature a dish we love- bringing the stories, traditions, and people that make our local food scene so special to the table. Enjoy!

A Southern Take on Sticky Toffee Pudding
When the weather turns cold around here, dessert starts to feel less like an extra and more like a necessity. These are the days when ovens stay on a little longer, ice cream somehow still makes sense, and warm, gooey sweets bring everyone back to the table. Sticky toffee pudding may have British roots, but with a few Southern touches, it feels right at home on a chilly Upstate evening.
