Jaron Brown, Brandon Ford and Jonathan Meeks are on the Stars team roster, while Spencer Benton will play for the Stripes team at the game, which will kick off at 2:00 PM CT and will be broadcast live on CBS Sports Network.

Two Tigers, Xavier Brewer and Rashard Hall, will play defense for the East team in the 88th Annual East-West Shrine Game, also to be held on Saturday, January 19. The Shrine Game will kick off at 4:00 PM ET at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, FL and will be televised on the NFL Network.

Andre Ellington, Dalton Freeman and Malliciah Goodman will represent Clemson in the 2013 Senior Bowl, which will be played on Saturday, January 26 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, AL. The Senior Bowl will kick off at 3:00 PM CT and will be televised on the NFL Network.

Union County is sponsoring the Meansville Riley Water Company's application for a $350,000 grant through the South Carolina Rural Infrastructure Authority. The grant would enable the company to install approximately 31,000 linear feet of new water main on eight different roadways and improve water quality. If requested to do so, should the county sponsor more such grant applications by other local water companies?
