Address Service Requested

BY HEATHER GALEFOR THE LORIS SCENE

Students and teachers atLoris Elementary Schoolnow have a better idea ofwhat the expansion at theirschool will look like.

The Horry County SchoolBoard voted unanimouslyto go with the conceptualdesign to expand theschool and the core build-ing and renovate the rest ofthe building to bring it upto standard.

Matt Dean, director forconstruction managementfor the district, told theboard the expansion willinclude a two-story 32,000-square-foot building,which will include class-rooms, labs and spaces forteaching.

The building will faceS.C. 9 and is a design notused in any other schoolsin the county.

“We are trying some newthings when designing ourschools,” he said. “It willdefinitely be different andwill be the only two-storybuilding on the property,but it will work and begreat for the students.”

Next, the district willexpand the core facility by4,000-square-feet toaddress the media centerand cafeteria overcrowd-ing. The district will alsorenovate the school tobring it up to standard andadd a drop-off loop, a cov-

ered walkway and moreparking.

Dean said they will alsofix existing drainage prob-lems, add a new play-ground and refurbish theexisting playground.

School board memberTrent Hardee brought upsome concerns about theconceptual design includ-ing how much storagespace will be available forteachers.

“The teacher classroomsand offices in the youngergrades need a lot of storagespace,” he said.

Dean said the full designis still in the works and anysuggestions will be takeninto consideration.

Currently, the school isdesigned for 644 studentsand is at 121 percent ofcapacity. It uses 13 porta-bles to house all the stu-dents.

The addition will bringthe capacity of the schoolup to 900 students or more.

The entire project isexpected to be finished in2013, and cost is estimatedat $11.5 million.

In a separate vote, theboard approved fundingfor the Loris ElementarySchool expansion and thebuilding of the EarlyCollege High Schoolthrough the Phase Fourbuilding fund.

Horry County SchoolBoard Member Neil Jamessaid he is excited about the

opportunity to expand. “The school has been

over capacity for sometime, and so we definitelyneed to do something forthem,” he said.

Board Member DavidCox is also excited about

the expansion.“They have been in the

‘red’ zone for years,” hesaid. “They have 13 porta-bles there, and that is justway too many. We need toget this done and do whatis best for the school.”

Dean said most of theconstruction will happenin the summer and othertimes when the studentsare not in school.

Loris Elementary SchoolPrincipal Mark Porter wasnot available for comment.

If you’re on a mission tochange lives and laws, whatbetter way than to getinvolved with a 32-year-oldevent that draws more than30, 000 people together for aday?

That’s exactly what SmokeFree Horry has done with itsaffiliation with the 32ndAnnual Loris Bog-OffFestival planned forSaturday, Oct. 15.

The group will sponsorthe Hwy. 701 entertainmentstage, which will be a busyspot near the intersection ofMain and Broad streets, andwill also have an informa-tion booth near the stage.

Smoke Free Horry is a col-laborative partnershipbetween the South CarolinaDepartment of Health andEnvironmental Control,Shoreline Behavioral HealthServices, and the SouthCarolina TobaccoCollaborative. It is funded bya Communities Putting

Prevention to Work grantawarded by the Centers forDisease Control andPrevention.

According to the group’swebsite, www.smokefree-horry.org, the mission ofSmoke Free Horry is toreduce the harmful effects oftobacco use in HorryCounty. The organization’sgoals are to protect citizensfrom secondhand smoke,reduce tobacco use amongadults and youth, and pre-vent kids from ever startingto use tobacco.

“Our primary areas offocus are to educate ouryouth and the communityabout the dangers of tobac-

co use and secondhandsmoke exposure, assist com-munity agencies, organiza-tions, and school districtsdevelop and implementsmoke free and tobacco freepolicies,” said PaulineLevesque, Smoke FreeHorry’s youth coordinator ofthe school district.

“ We also offer counselingand nicotine replacementtherapy (NRT) to HorryCounty residents who enrollin S.C. Tobacco Quitlineservices, 1-800-QUIT-NOW.”

The group opened theSmoke Free HorryEducation and Resource

If your goal is to put thosewho need help with thosewho are willing to help, thengathering all those willing tohelp under one roof is a pret-ty good idea. Add to that freehot dogs and drinks and theidea gets even better.

On Saturday, Oct. 1 OpenHearts CommunityOutreach, a Loris non-profitorganization whose goal is todo so did exactly that. OpenHearts arranged for 17 differ-ent businesses and free serv-ices to set up shop at theLoris Adult Day Care Centerat 3701 Main St. for its firstannual Health and ScienceFair.

Between the hours of 10a.m. and 2 p.m., visitors tothe health fair were privy tofree information on Prenatal

Care, Hospice care,Addiction counseling, LowIncome Assistance, nursingeducation, and several oth-ers.

Free blood pressurescreenings, flu shots andhealth issue screenings werealso available.

“We were so thankful forthe good number of busi-nesses and organizationsthat turned out to serve ourcommunity, giving of theirtime to be a part of ourHealth Fair,” said NicoleMoll, director of the Loris-based Open HeartsCommunity Outreach.

The Benefit Bank of SouthCarolina was one of themany helpful participants inthe local health fair.

In 2002, OklahomaFellowship of ChristianAthletes area director JeffMartin prayed about hisfrustration with the spiritu-al battles facing our “spec-tator generation” youth.

God led him to 2Chronicles 34 for theanswer. King Josiah, aninfluential teenager, gath-ered his people and chal-lenged them to read God’sWord. As a result, theychanged their culture.

When a team is losing,the players go back to thefundamentals. They don’tmake their game plan morecomplex. That was God’sanswer to Martin’s prayer -bring kids back to the fun-damentals of the “gameplan of life,” His Word.

And the Fields of Faith”concept was born.

On Oct. 12, thanks to ajoint effort by the LorisHigh School Fellowship ofChristian Athletes and theCarolina BaptistAssociation, Heniford Field,

home of the Lions, will hostits first local “Fields of FaithEvent.”

Rev. Alvin Jackson, direc-tor of missions for theCarolina BaptistAssociation, and Loris HighSchool basketball coachand FCA sponsor TravisScott are spearheading theeffort.

“I first learned of theFields of Faith event while Iwas in Liberty two yearsago,” said Jackson. “I wentto [LHS)]principal Gurleyback in August andapproached him with theidea of hosting the event,and he introduced me tocoach Scott. With his helpand others, I feel the eventwill be a big success.”

The CBA is sponsoringthe event and thanks toScott, who stepped in torevive the Fellowship ofChristian Athletes at LHS,the FCA is taking a veryactive role in it.

Several churches havebeen contacted, butJackson and Scott welcome

Center Sept. 22 in the for-mer information center ofthe Myrtle Beach Mall out-side J.C. Penney Co. Thespace will showcase infor-mational material designedby Digital Art and Designstudents from the Academyfor Technology andAcademics.

Visitors to the new SmokeFree Horry space will learnabout the group’s messageto reduce the negativeeffects of tobacco usethrough a marketing cam-paign developed by HorryCounty schools students.

“The district has a 100

percent, tobacco-free modelpolicy,” said Levesque.“There are very few schoolsnationwide that have such apolicy about any form oftobacco use at schools onthe premises.”

Levesque said the centerwas one of the ways to reachyoung people and educatethem about issues such asthe harmful effects of smok-ing and second-handsmoke. She said the messag-ing work accomplished bythe ATA students was “fan-tastic” and was distributedto schools at the first of theschool year.

JoAnne Doshier, ATA’s dig-ital arts teacher, said the

goal was to develop an edu-cation kit with pieces thatwould go into a box. Theinformation was designedby students for students.The students worked inseven teams, each with fourfacts on which to focus anddesign a concept around toget each point across.

According to Smoke FreeHorry, in South Carolina240,000 kids are exposed tosecondhand smoke athome; 103,000 kids nowyounger than 18 and alivewill ultimately die prema-turely from smoking; and6,300 younger than 18become new daily smokerseach year.

help and support from allarea churches and leadersto get the word out andenlist the young people intheir churches to sharetheir testimonies or serveduring the event.

To be involved, studentsmay contact Jackson at756-0400 or 843-902-3366or contact Scott at LHS at390-6800.

Students from all overHorry County will be join-ing thousands of otheryouth on athletic fields allacross America to sharetheir Christian faith withfellow students during theannual nationwide “Fieldsof Faith” event.

This rapidly growing,interdenominational out-reach event will be held atmore than 475 locationsnationally on the samedate.

While many Christianrallies are anchored toward

an entertainer or profes-sional speaker to create aspectator event, Fields ofFaith is structured as a stu-dent-to-student ministrymovement. Peers invitetheir own classmates andteammates to meet on theirschool’s athletic field tohear fellow students sharetheir testimonies, challengethem to read the Bible andto come to faith in JesusChrist.

Students, combined withleadership teams, worktogether to run each event.The leadership teams formpartnerships with localchurches regardless ofdenomination, and helpplan their Fields of Faithevent.

According to the event’swebsite, it is estimated thatmore than 80 percent ofyouth who attend churchwill stop going between theseventh and 12th grades.

“It seems we are losingthe spiritual battle inAmerica. The question that

must be asked is if we havemore ministry opportuni-ties than ever before, whyare we experiencing somany setbacks in the spiri-tual realm?” Martin said onthe website.

It wasn’t until 2004 thatMartin’s Josiah-influenceddream came true, however.It was then when morethan 6,000 students gath-ered on school athleticfields throughoutOklahoma, Texas andKansas for the very first“Fields of Faith.” Throughthe student-led events,more than 100 studentsmade decisions for Christ.In 2005, 9,200 studentsgathered for the same pur-pose, and 372 made com-mitments to Christ.

In 2006, the annualFields of Faith event wentnation-wide, growing fromthree states to more than35. It ballooned from 31fields to more than 337 andimpacted more than 50,000people.

The continuing saga of the sagging pantsIpersonally don’t caremuch for seeing peoplewalking around with

their pants around theirknees. When I can seesomeone’s rear-end, clad innothing but underwear,above their pants, I have toquell the urge to reach outand pull them up to what Iconsider a decent level.And if I had a young son, Iwould personally not lethim walk out of the housedressed like that. But thefact is, I don’t. It is up to theparents of the young onesto decide for them. For theadult ones, even though Ifind it somewhat revolting,it’s not my place to say.Some say the history of

the sagging pants has itsorigins in prison as a safetyfeature. Prisoners are

allowedno beltsorshoelacesdue tosuiciderates andthe dan-ger oftheir useasweapons.Someevenspeak ofthe sag inprison assign ofavailabili-

ty to other inmates. Somesay it got its start from theculture of hip-hop. Somehave even ventured to sayit’s tied closely to gang-likeactivity as a way to conceal

a weapon. Who reallyknows but the big questionis, why do so many govern-ments really care about afashion fad that isn’t cost-ing them anything?I understand that proper

attire needs to be consid-ered in certain structuredsituations, like public andprivate schools where sag-ging could create a negativeenvironment. The bigger problem for

all of us and that I am moredisturbed by is the passageof several city ordinancesand laws to ban the wear-ing of these same baggy,undies-revealing pants.Our country was founded

on the belief that we shouldbe a free people. Those whodrafted our Constitutionhad fought to free this

country from what theyconsidered to be a tyranni-cal rule. While they neitherwanted nor created a stateof anarchy, we have farmore freedoms than dopeople in most of the restof those. In fact, the FirstAmendment to theConstitution specifies free-dom of speech. Well, as theold adage goes, actionsspeak louder than words.I fear for the trend these

days to legislate more andmore restrictions on peo-ple’s lives. I will go alongwith most of the laws thatgovern crimes; sure, ifsomeone plots about assas-sination, arrest them.Likewise, if someone wish-es to grow illegal sub-stances in his yard, he iscommitting a crime.

However, fining someonebecause he was showing offfour inches of boxer shorts?To me, this is beyondridiculous. We have realcrimes going on every day.There are murders,assaults, rapes, theft, andvandalism, among others.Why should we furtheroverburden our police forceby making it a crime toshow off a few inches ofboxer shorts?We do have problems

that are more pressing inour cities, states and acrossour country than thedreaded crime of sagging.Can’t we pay more atten-tion to what’s happeningaround us and focus on try-ing to fix some things thatreally matter? I am just saying.

Some transitionsrougher than othersThey were four sisters-

in-law around the table,three are married to broth-ers, and one is a sister.They’ve been a family 25

years, and were talking asfamilies do. As women do.They had children in

every age group, from pri-mary school, to highschool, to college, to mar-ried.They miss the ones away

at school, miss those whoare married even more.This time of life sneaked

up on them, the ones witholder kids were saying.They hadn’t expected the

nest to be so different - notquite empty, but thinningout - so fast.Time spent with hus-

bands is different now,they’ve realized.There’s more of it to

spend together, workingon and renewing thoserelationships. Or not.I listened, remembering

having that same conver-sation with my ownextended family, twodecades ago.I remembered when my

oldest left, and the firsttime I set the table forthree instead of four.Then when my youngest

got married, and that firstnight we shut the porchlight when he wasn’t home.I didn’t join the conver-

sation, I was having myown in my mind.But if I had, this is what I

would have said:That nest empties again,

when the grandchildren

start toscatter,and sur-prisingly– amaz-ingly,even - it’sharderthanwhen thechildrenwent.When

our ownkids go,we standwaving atthe back

side of the proverbial door-way of ‘jobs well done.’ Thestages of their lives and ourown change and we adjust.They do and we do. When grandchildren go,

they take our hearts withthem.Adjusting doesn’t come

as easy later in life.I’ve never understood

the adage that the bestthing about grandchildrenis that they go home.The connection is about

more than a shared shapeof a nose or common dis-like of coconut.It’s about the continuity

of the generations. Aboutthe eternal truths of reap-ing and sowing. Aboutthere being nothing newunder the sun.It’s our kids all over

again, but intensified,higher, deeper, richer.It’s a God thing.I left the sisters-in-law to

their conversation, andhugged my grandchildren.

Government needs to go on a diet

COLUMN B

EttieNewlands

Losing weight is simple:eat less and exercise more.Sounds easy enough

until you understand thatthe effort requires sacrifice.No more fried chicken. Nomore French fries. Nomore lounging on thecouch after a heavy meal.Such a diet is not fun, butit works.Balancing the federal

budget could be asuncomplicated as dieting:spend less and live withinthe nation’s means.Unfortunately, this solu-tion requires a degree ofsacrifice many Americansare unwilling to make.Instead, they look for an

easier solution to the prob-lem, like increasing taxes.To me, raising taxes to

help fix the nation’s finan-cial problems makesabsolutely no sense. Thefederal government is abloated, morbidly obeseinstitution that needs moremoney like an alcoholicneeds more whiskey. It is abottomless pit that sucksup money quicker than itcan be printed.I did some math a while

back about how muchmoney the federal govern-ment spends.Last year, the federal

budget was $3.55 trillion.That’s an amount I findincomprehensible. So Itried breaking it down intomore bite-size morsels.In 2010, about 308 mil-

lion people lived in theUnited States.That means the federal

government spends about$13,000 a year per person.If that number doesn’t

raise your eyebrows, con-sider this.About 40 percent of

Americans do not paytaxes for one reason oranother. Factor in that sta-tistic and you’ll see thegovernment spends$74,000 per taxpayer.Here’s another way of

looking at things.On an annual basis, our

government spends:• $11 billion per day;• $456 million per hour;• $7.6 million per

minute; and,

•$126,839per sec-ond.How

can anycountry,even oneas greatand pow-erful astheUnitedStates,sustainthat kindof spend-ing?I have

neitherthe time,nor the

space to explain how theU.S. got to this sad state ofaffairs. Simply put, theU.S. spends far more thanit collects in taxes.Throwing more taxpayer

money at the problemwon’t solve anything.Congress has demonstrat-ed time and again that itlacks the courage to makesignificant cuts. Openingthe checkbook for evenmore spending is sheerfolly.Those Americans who

pay taxes have shoulderedthe burden of financinggovernment with remark-ably little complaint. Butthat could change ifPresident Obama andDemocrats succeed inraising taxes again.The amount of fat in the

federal budget boggles theimagination. In my mind,one out of every four fed-eral positions could beeliminated without anyserious deterioration ofservice.Several federal agencies

could be eliminatedentirely. For example, theU.S. Department ofEducation, created duringthe Jimmy Carter adminis-tration to appease teach-ers’ unions, could bescrapped immediately.The EducationDepartment’s budget hasgrown from $13.1 billion in1980 to $73 billion in 2007.It has grown from 450employees to 4,800 during

the same time span.What great accomplish-

ment has the Departmentof Education recorded? Ican’t think of a thing.National testing showsvery little, if any, improve-ment.Much the same can be

said of the Department ofAgriculture, theDepartment of Energy, theDepartment of Labor andthe Department ofCommerce.Congress could also save

a mountain of cash bywithdrawing Americantroops from Afghanistan,Iraq and other basesaround the world immedi-ately. Anyone who thinks the

U.S. will prevail inAfghanistan doesn’t knowhistory. This little corner ofthe world has the reputa-tion of being the “grave-yard of empires.” Over theeons, no empire has beenable to successfully ruleAfghanistan. Alexander theGreat, the Mughals, theBritish and the Sovietscould not overcome themountainous terrain andfierce clan loyalty ofAfghanistan. I don’t know why U.S.

leaders think America cando any better. We’re wast-ing money, time and livestrying to bring order to apeople who despise us.I also think Iraq was an

exercise in futility. Afterspending more than a tril-lion dollars there, the U.S.doesn’t even benefit fromIraqi oil fields.The idea of raising taxes

infuriates me when I lookat the waste that runs ram-pant in the federal govern-ment. As citizens, we can-not allow Congress and thePresident to put a biggertax burden on us. We payenough already.Furthermore, Congress

will never make the sacri-fices needed to balance thefederal budget as long asthere is a possibility thatthe electorate will acqui-esce to higher taxes.A line needs to be drawn

in the sand, and now’s thetime to do it.

After 210 years, HorryCounty might finally honorits namesake.County leaders plan to

spend about $12,000 on abronze bust of Peter Horry,the Revolutionary War herowhose name the countybears.The bust would be

housed in the atrium of thecounty complex on SecondAvenue in Conway.Horry (pronounced O-

REE’) served as a lieutenantcolonel during theRevolutionary War andlater spent time as a law-maker in both the S.C.House and Senate, accord-ing to the Horry CountyHistorical Society’s website.The county was renamed in1801.“I’m somewhat of a his-

tory buff,” said MarionFoxworth, the county coun-cilman who proposed thememorial. “Horry County isone of several counties inSouth Carolina who was

named for a RevolutionaryWar hero, much likeLaurens County, PickensCounty, Sumter County[and] Marion County. Butunlike most of those othercounties, we have neverrecognized that fact.”Foworth said he’s wanted

to honor Horry for morethan a year, but he hasn’tpushed the issue becauseof the county’s budget con-straints.Under Foxworth’s pro-

posal, the project would befunded by two sources. He’s

asked his fellow council-men to contribute $500apiece from their individ-ual recreation funds, andhe said county administra-tor John Weaver is match-ing that with $6,000 fromhis contingency fund.Walter Hill, the county’s

museum director, said theestimate came from aTexas-based artist who wasrecommended by the staffat Brookgreen Gardens. “We always talk about

preserving history, preserv-ing history, preserving his-

tory,” Hill said. “Here’s anopportunity that this coun-cil can … make history.”Foxworth originally

thought the county shouldget a life-size statue, but hesaid “that can get rightcostly.”The less expensive bust is

expected to cost $10,000and the granite base has aprice tag of $2,000.On the base, Foxworth

wants the county toinscribe a brief history ofHorry and a list of theboard of commissioners

BY THELMA C. TODDFOR THE LORIS SCENE

Let us get started withanother computer quote:“God formed us. Sindeformed us. Jesus Christtransformed us.”The first tells us who made

us. God made Adam and Evein the Garden of Eden. Hemade them perfect but Satan

envied them and deceivedEve into disobeying God.That is when we were

deformed by sin – a simpleact of eating some fruit Godhad told them not to eat.They had plenty of fruit onother trees but Adam andEve decided to eat from theforbidden tree and it broughtsin in the picture.What are we going to do

now? God solved the prob-lem by transforming uswhen He sent His son JesusChrist to die on a cross. Allwe have to do is accept Himas our Savior.What a beautiful transfor-

mation.He bears our sins and we

accept His righteousness. Wejust cannot thank Godenough.

Let’s face it.Relationships withothers, no matter how

much we love and care for aperson, can becomestrained, even to the pointof ending. But why is that?Is it because we fail to seethe other person’s point ofview too often, or is itbecause we cannot let go ofthe hurt they may havecaused us?The answers to these and

the thousands of otherquestions about what caus-es relationships to suffer,lies in the understanding ofa perfect relationship. And,there has been only one, therelationship between God,the Father and Jesus, theSon.It is in looking closely at

this relationship that we cansee the model for our ownpersonal relationships withour loved ones, friends, andeach and every person wecome in contact with in ourlifetime.The relationship Jesus

had with the Father is thevery relationship that Hewants all believers to havewith Him. Jesus lived theperfect example of a rela-tionship between not only afather and a son, but witheach and every person Hecame in contact with. Through Jesus’ example,

we find three key elementsto a right relationship withthe Father and with others.They are intimacy, depend-ency, and obedience.Intimacy is defined as a

close or warm friendship orunderstanding, or personalrelationship with anotherperson. To be intimatemeans to very close andpersonal, knowing andsharing every personaldetail of one’s life withanother and to desire to bein the presence of that per-son.All through His sinless

life, Jesus maintained Hisrelationship with the Fatherby talking to Him daily,learning all He could aboutHim, and going about hisFather’s business everyday.God, in turn, blessed Jesusfor His devotion and lovetoward Him by giving Jesusall He needed to accomplishHis purpose in life.

It isthroughthis sameintimacywith Godthat youand I,despite oursinfulnatures,can andwill havethe sameopportuni-ties asJesus tohave all wewill everneed to

accomplish the plan thatGod sets before us.Jesus mentioned several

times in the Bible that Healone could do nothing, butthrough His Father He coulddo all things. Jesus fully rec-ognized His dependence onGod for everything. Jesus,through His dependencyand intimacy with God, wasable to have the confidenceand strength to carry outwhatever course God setbefore Him. But it took both of those,

and Christ’s obedience tothe Father to finish out HisFather’s plan for Him andthe world. We all struggle with obe-

dience, and there were eventimes near the end thatJesus struggled with itHimself. But Jesus knew,thanks to His perfect rela-tionship with the Father,that His Father would neverlead Him to a place or situa-tion where He was not withHim, or was not best forHim. If we want God’s best for

us, it is in our obedience toHim that we find it.It is through these three

things put together that aperfect relationship withGod will grow and flourish,and in these three thingswill all our other relation-ships do the same.Put your relationship with

the Father first, then watchthe world around you beganto change for the better.Watch and see as your inti-macy, dependency and obe-dience grows with theFather, how much morevaluable all your relation-ships become.
