Good morning, Myrtle Beach.
Benjamin Tyler Greene filed a lawsuit in Horry County Common Pleas Court after he was struck in the head by an object on Shark Wake Park 843’s wake boarding course ride on July 6, 2024 and suffered significant injuries that required extensive medical treatment — he alleges the park failed to warn customers and did not provide proper lifeguard oversight.
On Sunday night, a vehicle flipped on Highway 31 just north of Highway 22 in Horry County and injured one person, leading fire rescue to use the jaws of life and quickly transport the injured person to a hospital.
Kelly’s K9 Kitchen—a local farmers market vendor—offers homemade dog and cat treats made with care and passion, and pet owners can visit its website to place orders.
The Myrtle Beach Golf Classic will tee off Thursday and run through Sunday and is expected to surpass last year’s $15 million economic impact—nearly 40,000 attendees are projected, with half being local residents and half visitors.
The PGA Tour event also features a celebrity pro-am with Vanna White, Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell, while Governor Henry McMaster will attend the opening ceremony.
Everette Sands of The WES Foundation said the group will host its 8th Annual Fundamental Football and Cheer Camp for rising 3rd to 8th graders—students will learn football and cheer skills and receive tools for success on and off the field.
The camp will provide young athletes with a focused experience to build essential techniques and confidence for the future.
On May 1, Loris Fire Chief Jerry Hardee and firefighter Robert Rudelitch told the city council they are considering hiring professional firefighters to cut incident response times, with one option costing about $45,000 per year for a part-time worker and another using a SAFER grant for full-time coverage costing between $250,000 and $500,000 per year. The city will decide on staffing levels and pay while continuing to rely on volunteers—who currently earn $13.75 per call—with concerns that full-time coverage may lead to higher taxes after the grant ends.
