AG Cycling the Doodle Trail - August 2017
AG doing the round trip from Easely to Pickens SC, about 16 miles.
The Doodle line carries a rich history of industry and economy important to both the City of Pickens and the City of Easley. In 1890, the State of South Carolina issued a charter for the construction of a railroad between Easley and Oolenoy Gap, by way of Pickens. After eight years of construction, the 8.5-mile portion of the railway between Easley and Pickens became operational in 1898. Until 2013, the Doodle line hauled a variety of commodities to and from Pickens and Easley, including food products, textiles, and automobile parts. Local residents nicknamed the railroad the “Pickens Doodle” line, because the freight engine could not be turned around and had to run backwards from Easley to Pickens, looking like a doodlebug.

DUI Easley, SC Part 1
As I'm sitting at a stoplight, I hear a loud crash behind me I look out my driver's window to see a Dodge Charger flying through the air in the median. I pull over to get you a better view (you're welcome :)) and find the driver SEVERELY intoxicated. THEN, he speeds off northbound in the southbound lane almost getting hit head on! I later find him while I'm talking to Easley Police Dispatch and hopefully get him some shiny new bracelets!

ClassLink and Pickens SD South Carolina
Students and Staff Now Enjoy Instant Access to All Digital Learning Resources
The Challenge:
The instructional technology team was moving towards digital learning resources, especially in areas of 1to1 and BYOD, however, forgetting the usernames and passwords started becoming a hindrance to productive use of the various digital learning tools.
Choosing ClassLink:
The team knew something had to be done and so a search began to find a solution to the login problem. ClassLink was recommended through an industry colleague and so a review was conducted. After a demonstration and the testimonial from a trusted friend it seemed clear that ClassLink was the right choice. A review of the marketplace and lackluster demonstrations and horror stories from other options in the marketplace made it clear that ClassLink was a must.
ClassLink was installed in under an hour and the ClassLink leadership team attended and helped launch the new system during a district-wide professional development conference.
From the start, the ClassLink team was responsive and developed all the single sign-on links that were needed, with no extra cost.
The Outcome:
Within weeks nearly a quarter of the entire school system was using ClassLink on a daily basis. Today, both ClassLink and the Pickens Instructional Technology team, is actively creating resources to help all students and teachers enjoy OneClick access to all they’re apps.
Future Initiatives:
Open technology standards are important to Pickens. Adoption of the IMS Global OneRoster standard will enable automated and instant provisioning of digital learning resources for all students and teachers.
“ClassLink is the solution Pickens County was looking for. It’s easy for our IT department. It’s easy for teachers and our kids love it.
We couldn’t be more pleased.”
- Barbara Nesbitt, Pickens County Public Schools

Pickens Doodle Park — Brownfields Funding Drives Community Development
With a vision to transform an unused property into a vibrant city park, the city of Pickens, S.C., faced two challenges – a blighted railroad facility and how to find the funding for development. Terracon’s team helped create the city’s vision by providing environmental assessments and assisting the community in navigating the EPA Brownfields program. The initial Brownfields grant helped make other funding possible – so far, 12 grants totaling $1.7 million have supported this redevelopment project.
