SC Public Radio News - A shuttered bowling alley at the center of a 1968 integration protest where state police killed three Black students is being remade into a civil rights center. State troopers shot into a crowd of students on the historically Black campus of South Carolina State University almost 54 years ago. Protesters were trying to pressure the white owner of the All-Star Bowling Lanes into letting Black patrons use the lanes. The National Park Service is helping a non-profit group renovate the All-Star Bowling Lanes, remaking it into a fully-functional bowling alley with a civil rights theme. Tuesday marks the official anniversary of the shootings. - A statue of segregationist and former U.S. Vice President John C. Calhoun that was pulled from its high perch over Charleston almost two years ago still hasn't found a new home.

But the final agreement is far from certain. Meanwhile, descendants of Calhoun have filed a lawsuit saying the statue was illegally removed and should be put back up. - Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin says he's not fighting to persuade Oshkosh Defense to locate 1,000 jobs in his home state rather than South Carolina.

SC Public Radio News - A small group of powerful lawmakers is refusing to approve reelection bids for five University of South Carolina trustees. They are upset over $10 million loaned to the athletic department buy out a football coach's contract and a secret plane trip to meet with a presidential candidate. Trustees eventually hired retired Army General Bob Caslen who flamed out after 22 months on the job, writing in an email on his way out "this place sucks so bad." The trustees are all incumbents and have no opposition for reelection. If the state College and University Trustee Commission doesn't approve them, their seats would become open. - State and national chapters of the NAACP and ACLU filed a lawsuit Wednesday challenging a ban of automatically collecting publicly available court data.

SC Public Radio News - A sprawling storm system will bring the potential for damaging winds to South Carolina overnight Thursday before cooler weather arrives for the weekend. - U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is visiting a historically Black university in South Carolina this week to tout what the Biden administration says is a commitment to funding nuclear engineering at such institutions. Officials tell The Associated Press Granholm will tour the nuclear engineering program at South Carolina State University, in Orangeburg. Granholm will visit the school Thursday along with U.S. House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, who's an alumnus. The visit comes as President Joe Biden and other officials tout progress made in implementing the administration's $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package, following setbacks on voting rights and other economic efforts. - If President Joe Biden's search for a nominee to the Supreme Court could be summed up by a Help Wanted ad it might read: "Seeking a well-respected liberal jurist. Black. Female. Seniors need not apply." The reality for the nation's oldest president is that for this lifetime appointment, youth is particularly prized. The math is simple. The younger Biden's nominee, the longer she is likely to serve as a justice. The longer she serves as a justice, the longer liberals can expect to hold a seat on the court, now dominated 6-3 by conservatives. - South Carolina senators have spent less than two hours deciding how to spend more than $2 billion in federal money coming to the state. About $1.7 billion is in COVID-19 relief money and an additional $525 million are fines paid by the federal government in a settlement after a plan to convert plutonium from nuclear bombs into nuclear reactor fuel was abandoned at the Savannah River Site near Aiken. Senators want to spend COVID relief money on roads, rural broadband and sewage and water plant improvements. The plan for plutonium spending would give Allendale, Barnwell and Aiken counties nearest the site $341 million and spread the rest of the money around the state. The plan now goes to the House.

SC Public Radio News - City officials say they've made it clear from the get-go that Rock Hill 'would not, could not, should not backstop this debt.' - The South Carolina House approved the state's $14 billion budget in one day with little debate over big ticket items. The House voted 108-7 late Monday to give the budget key approval. They plan to return to the chamber for routine final approval Tuesday morning, sending it on to the Senate. There was only about three hours of debate, almost on all items voted down like stricter abortion rules or not paying for a state health card that some worried could be used as a COVID-19 vaccine passport. The budget provides $1 billion for roads and raises for all state employees and most teachers and state law enforcement officers. - David Beasley, Executive Director for the UN's World Food Programme, describes current challenges and possible long-term food supply chain problems that could go beyond Ukraine - Former president Donald Trump is trying to unseat two incumbent Republicans who serve South Carolina's coastal congressional districts.

SC Public Radio News - Farms that raise turkeys and chickens for meat and eggs are on high alert, fearing a repeat of a widespread bird flu outbreak in 2015 that killed 50 million birds across 15 states and cost the federal government nearly $1 billion. The new fear is driven by the discovery announced Feb. 9 of the virus infecting a commercial turkey flock in Indiana. The 29,000 turkeys in the flock were killed to prevent spread of the virus. The poultry industry and government officials say they have plans to more quickly stop the spread and are advising producers to take precautions, since the virus strain is potentially deadly to commercial poultry. Egg, turkey and chicken prices could rise and availability could drop if birds at enough farms were to be infected. - Marlboro County High School Principal Jamane Watson and three of his staff will not be back next school year.

SC Public Radio News - Farms that raise turkeys and chickens for meat and eggs are on high alert, fearing a repeat of a widespread bird flu outbreak in 2015 that killed 50 million birds across 15 states and cost the federal government nearly $1 billion. The new fear is driven by the discovery announced Feb. 9 of the virus infecting a commercial turkey flock in Indiana. The 29,000 turkeys in the flock were killed to prevent spread of the virus. The poultry industry and government officials say they have plans to more quickly stop the spread and are advising producers to take precautions, since the virus strain is potentially deadly to commercial poultry. Egg, turkey and chicken prices could rise and availability could drop if birds at enough farms were to be infected. - Marlboro County High School Principal Jamane Watson and three of his staff will not be back next school year.
