Wingard replaces Hammill

A new commissioner has joined the policy-making board of the fire district that serves Keowee Key and other Lake Keowee communities. The commission yesterday accepted the resignation of Greg Hammill and replaced him with Larry Wingard. Hammill is moving outside the district and Wingard will serve as interim until the district holds its next election in November 2014. Wingard worked 35 years in financial management for Sonoco Products.
