Local high school commemorates former teacher Blythewood High School students, faculty and staff will host a “Chef Day” this Friday to commemorate former teacher William Turner, who passed away on Feb. 1 after battling colon cancer for several years, The State reported. Turner founded Blythewood’s culinary program when the school opened its doors in 2005, and made it one of the top programs in the state and in the nation. He earned the nickname “The Chef” after leading the school to a top five finish at the State Culinary Competition five times and to a win at the state championship in 2010. Blythewood also earned a 14th-place finish nationally that same year. “Chef has made an undeniable difference in his students’ lives, and his dedication to this school and our community is something that we absolutely want to celebrate,” said Fletcher Spigner, Blythewood High School student activities director, when Turner retired in 2012 due to health reasons. “Chef teaches culinary skills to his students every day but what they learn is responsibility, dedication, hard work and character.”

Rucker stuck in traffic, misses Grammy Award Former USC student and Hootie & the Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker was not on hand to pick up his trophy on stage Sunday night in Los Angeles after winning his first Grammy Award in 18 years, The State reported. Rucker, who was stuck in traffic, missed the red carpet, the beginning of the network telecast and even the pre-telecast when his award was presented. “We barely made it time for him to get to his seat,” Ebie McFarland, Rucker’s publicist said. “He even had to stand in the hallway until the first commercial break before they would escort him to his seat because we were that late getting there.” After announcing his name as the winner for Best Country Solo Performance for “Wagon Wheel,” Grammy presenter Cydni Lauper spent 12 seconds looking for Rucker before giving up. Other performers who neglected to pick up their awards during the three-hour pre-telecast show included Alicia Keys, Imagine Dragons, Pharrell Williams and the directors of the music video for Justin Timberlake’s “Suit & Tie.”
