There was a special event at Wagener-Salley High School Tuesday, January 19. Morgan Tyler, a senior on the War Eagles softball team, signed a letter of intent to continue playing in college at USC Salkehatchie. "I'm excited. I never thought I'd get to do this," Tyler said of the chance to play softball beyond high school. "When I got the opportunity, I was thrilled." Tyler was joined at the signing - held in Wagener-Salley's library - by her parents as well as school administrators and members of the faculty.
"Always remember that you're here for the entire town, so represent each person, each family, each area and each business equally."
Former Mayor Steve Carver gave a few words of advice to incoming Mayor Mike Miller. Carver, mayor of Wagener for 13 years, has seen a lot of changes in this small town, most of which he attributes to a long list of volunteers and both town employees and town citizens who consistently work hard for this community.
"Get help," Carver continued, "WDDC, Wagener Garden Club, WS JROTC, WS FFA, Crescent Cities Park Leadership and many more -- people want to help." Carver encouraged Miller to pursue Grants, one of Carver's strong suits. "My role as mayor was to constantly work to find projects that would match the needs of Wagener and then work with others to make these types of accomplishments happen."
The 2010 Hometown Holiday Desk Calendars are available at the Town Hall for $8.00 each. Each Wagener Monthly's artist-of-the-month is recognized in the Calendar. Please drop by Town Hall if you'd like to purchase one.
