Tenenbaum s retirement is effective June 1.

NEWBERRY COUNTY, S.C. (WOLO) – The Newberry County Coroner’s Office has identified the victim of a multi-vehicle collision on Monday.
Coroner Laura Kneece says Mary Maner, 76, died from her injuries and was a passenger in a 2015 Buick involved in the wreck.
The South Carolina Highway Patrol says it happened on I-26 East at mile marker 83 at 7:20 p.m.

Authorities say after hitting the SUV, the Buick then ran off the left side of the road, hit a bridge rail and struck a 2014 Lexus from behind.

With both shots done, he let his guard down at the office he shared with another doctor, sometimes leaving his mask off.
Then he woke up on March 7 with aches and fatigue, feeling as though he might have a cold. When he started experiencing chest pain and finding it hard to breathe, he booked an appointment with his primary care physician, who sent him on to his cardiologist. Both thought that his symptoms must be related to his past heart issues. But Washington’s symptoms got worse. He was so tired he could barely get out of bed. His cardiologist reassured him that the fatigue was likely due to the irregular heartbeat he was experiencing, and that the medications prescribed for that would take a while to kick in. But on M
