Have you ever had a plumbing problem spiral out of control? It's easier than you might think - one minute you're trying to unclog a toilet with a DIY fix your friend told you about.

Who doesn't love their garbage disposal? Aside from its loud noise, it can work wonders for food disposal and general kitchen cleanup. But tidying up after dinner is a lot harder when you flip that little switch, and your disposal doesn't work as it should. When your garbage disposal is clogged, it can snowball into other plumbing problems like sink clogs and even piping issues.
Though the most common culprit behind garbage disposal clogs is rust and hard items that jam up the propeller, worn blades and inefficient food disposal are also on the list. In some cases, corroded motor wiring impacts disposal failure, which can even cause shock hazards.

Longtime IAAM director Grady Crosby will now take the helm as chair.
The Winston-Salem, N.C., native and insurance executive is based in Milwaukee, where he is vice president and chief sustainability and impact officer for Northwestern Mutual. He joined the IAAM board in mid-2018
“Charleston is now home to one of the world’s most significant cultural institutions chronicling the African diaspora, and I look forward to building upon the foundation created by so many in this community who envisioned the success of this project,” Crosby said in a written statement.
Since its opening in June, the $120 million IAAM has welcomed more than 135,000 visitors to the former site of Gadsden’s Wharf off Concord Street along the peninsula's waterfront, according to officials.
Crosby predicted the second year will be an “exciting period of growth and operational maturity for the IAAM.” He added that the board's goal is make it a place where "all can learn, be inspired and build bridges to generations of people who were unable to tell their story."
Former Chair Wilbur Johnson, a Charleston attorney, was a founding IAAM board member and chairman for the past 12 years. During his tenure, organizers raised more than $125 million in public and private funds to bring the long-planned project to life.
Tonya Matthews, the museum's CEO, said Crosby's "wealth of nonprofit board experience and passion for what we do will provide inspiring leadership for the museum and its board as we move forward into this next generation of the IAAM journey."
An F-22 Raptor fighter jet participating in an exercise called "Sentry Savannah" was involved in an "aircraft mishap" at about 11:30 a.m. Monday, according to the Air National Guard 165th Airlift Wing.
The runway was closed temporarily, forcing three flights to be redirected to Charleston International, where officials said the planes taxied until they were cleared to return to the Savannah airport.
None of the aircraft deplaned while at CHS or affected other flights.
The F-22 incident remains under investigation. The pilot was not injured, the Air National Guard said in a statement.

Kion North America said May 7 that it is partnering with Fox Robotics to make FoxBot-branded autonomous loaders that use onboard cameras and special laser sensors that can measure distances and avoid obstructions to navigate loading docks and warehouses.
The material-handling devices can detect a range of pallet types and move loads up to 3,000 pounds to and from programmed locations.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“Our traction in the marketplace is tremendous, and Fox Robotics is at an inflection point in its growth arc,” the Austin, Texas-based company’s CEO said in a written statement. “We are experiencing unprecedented demand and have a massive list of bookings for Fox Robotics products and solutions. The partnership with Kion will most certainly pave the way to capture all this commercial growth.”
Fox Robotics said the FoxBot, introduced commercially in 2019, can improve workplace safety and increase productivity.
Retail giant Walmart said last month that it will try out 19 of the machines at four distribution centers, according to a report by Grocery Dive. The retail giant’s import distribution center in Ridgeville is not among the test sites, which are in Florida, Texas, New York and Alabama.
Walmart, which owns a minority investment stake in Fox Robotics, has said in investors meetings that it intends to increase the use of AI and automation technologies at all of its distribution sites in coming years.
BMW, which builds sport-utility vehicles in Greer, has also invested in the company through its iVentures venture capital firm.
“The logistics space is the single biggest market for automation for the next ten years,” Till Reuter, director of Fox Robotics’ board, said in a written statement. “Converting the shipping and receiving dock, the gateway to the warehouse, from a manual operation to an automated one will drive the greatest growth and change.”

South Carolina is not known for having stellar public education, but I suspect the state’s high poverty rate is more responsible for academic and mental health issues than literary classics and contemporary literature.
I have read some of the books that have been banned in Spartanburg County School District 1, and I am much more disturbed about the conversations I have had with disabled residents, pregnant women and children who are experiencing homelessness.
Some media are baptized with stories about gun violence, but I doubt children are having nightmares because of “Nineteen Minutes,” a novel that follows the unfolding of a school shooting.
Most students have seen videos of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, yet more people fear young minds are being traumatized by “Slaughterhouse-Five,” Kurt Vonnegut’s novel about a character dealing with his post-war psychological trauma.
It would be wonderful if transforming our community could be achieved by casting out stories that are a reflection of a world that children experience.
One way to make our community a better place is to ensure all citizens have the freedom to read.
The ability to share ideas, knowledge and stories is the cornerstone of our republic.

On the subject of the now-closed Wentworth Street parking garage, I bought my house on Montagu Street in 1971 and lived there happily for 34 years.
Like David and Scottie Hoffman's and Jack Handegan’s families, I count myself proud to have been among the first wave of pioneering settlers to have recognized Harleston Village for the jewel it was and to make it my home.
What is being confronted at this juncture is, at a basic bottom line, a continuation of the massive historic failure of successive municipal and college administrations to acknowledge that the inner peninsula and Harleston Village, in particular, are places to be valued and respected.
The College of Charleston and its thousands of students should never have been shoehorned into such a tight geographic area with finite parking options.
The college should have been required decades ago to locate as many programs as possible off of the peninsula and to develop required satellite parking with a shuttle system for students.
Instead, students assume the right to have their own car and to jam the city’s streets to the detriment of adjacent neighborhoods.
This is a massive failure.
Given the solid degree of proactivity evidenced thus far in dealing with such thorny concerns, I am hopeful that the Cogswell administration will step in to problem-solve around this critical issue where previous administrations have failed to do so.
