My sister-in-law, Sarah, sent me an email recently with a title of “Just for a chuckle and to bring back some memories.” A Delta Air Lines attendant was recently charged and arrested for stealing the mini liquor bottles from the plane’s beverage cart. She had lifted more than 1,500 bottles that sold for anywhere from $8 to $10 on the airplane.

When summer break arrives, I always begin a mass cleanup around the house. Things can get piled up at home when you are busy with school activities during the spring and end of the school year.

I thoroughly enjoyed Ruthie’s article a few weeks ago about the Greenwood ladies who are growing and sharing a garden. I am not a yard and garden kind of gal.

Join Those Who Support Local News

Local news matters to Greenwood. It keeps the people informed and connected. It asks the questions they want answered. It elevates what’s good, and it exposes what’s not.

To do that work well takes skilled reporters and editors, as many as a community can support through advertising, subscriptions and philanthropy.

The Greenwood Commonwealth expanded its newsroom in 2025 by adding Gerard Edic as a reporter covering public safety and other stories of interest to the community.

His position is partially funded by a two-year grant from Report for America, a national nonprofit. Generous supporters in the community donated the matching funds in the first year. We are now raising funds for Year 2.
