The veterinary clinic provides full veterinary services for small animals including vaccines, lumps and bumps, spay and neuter, dental cleaning and extractions and hospitalization. The non-emergency clinic currently does not offer overnight care. The clinic includes 4 exam rooms, a surgery room, and a room for digital xray and ultrasounds and more. Dr. Glore hopes to offer grooming services in the future.

A MOMENTOUS EVENT! Shovels pitched sand into the air today for the ceremonial groundbreaking for the new Wagener-Salley High School. Students, parents, teachers, interested citizens, and elected officials flocked to the site. I celebrated with those in attendance, as the Aiken Standard reported:
“You'll have the last old high school, and you're going to have the first and the best high school in all of Aiken County, is that not something...”Taylor said. “You're going to have a grand new high school ... you citizens are the ones who kept pushing this. It wasn't elected officials or even appointed officials or anyone else. You citizens kept this up forever and ever. You got what you want, and it's coming soon.”

Effective beginning the 2022-23 school year, Aiken County Public School District has adopted a clear bag procedure for all home athletic events. Spectators will be permitted to carry one clear tote bag not to exceed 12” x 6” x 12” or a Ziplock style bag no larger than one gallon. A small clutch purse not to exceed 4.5” x 6.5” may also be carried. Seat cushions are permitted as long as they are no larger than 16” and do not include arms or pockets. No diaper bags or camera bags will be allowed.
The District is continually reviewing safety and security procedures. Utilizing a screening process that includes a clear bag procedure will enhance safety inside athletic venues and speed the screening process. A clear bag is quickly and easily searched and greatly reduces faulty bag searches. It also supports the Department of Homeland Security’s, “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign.
This proactive measure is part of the District’s efforts to continue to improve and advance safety and security measures. The clear bag entry procedure will be in effect for all home sporting events.
