"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."
