There’s a certain amount of national pride that is generated from a trip to our nation’s capital. For more 40 years, Aiken Electric Cooperative has sent area high school students on the Washington Youth Tour to develop an appreciation for our country. This year, seven local students were chosen for a “trip of a lifetime.” “Aiken Electric is proud to offer these extraordinary students the opportunity to visit Washington, D.C.,” said Gary L. Stooksbury, CEO. “The Washington Youth Tour is a fabulous opportunity for our future leaders to learn about government and electric cooperatives. By investing in these students, we believe we are investing in the future of our communities.” Ethan Busbee of Wagener-Salley High, son of Doug and Jackie Busbee; Ashley Cady of South Aiken High, daughter of Chris and Jennifer Cady; Daiana El-Hammami of Wagener-Salley High, daughter of Randy and Sorina Wininger; Holly Eubanks of Strom Thurmond High, daughter of Craig and Linda Eubanks; Corey Neal of Strom Thurmond High, son of Kelli Neal; and Ashlynn Stephenson of Silver Bluff High, daughter of Rick and Terrie Stephenson were sponsored by Aiken Electric Co-op to attend the all-expenses-paid Youth Tour. The Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina sponsored Marcio Long of Saluda High, daughter of Marcus and Daniella Long.

From one generation to the next
high open storage place for the 25 pound bags of flour that was a major staple in almost everyone’s home at that time. Also there was a meat market in the rear of the store, and Wise Ashmore was the butcher. I still have a picture of Wise standing outside Daddy’s store holding me. Mama tells the story that I had given Wise my old Teddy bear, and I found it in the trash where Wise thought he had secretly thrown it away. I got the teddy bear from the trash and found Wise. I told him, “Wise, I gave you this “tuddy burr” now I want you to keep it.” My daddy was very industrious; he could solve just about any problem that was put before him. And as long as he was in the grocery business, he was always planning his next move to be more productive. Mama told me just the other day that when they operated the old store that Daddy would make ice cream, and when the Greyhound bus stopped in Wagener twice a day, he would send one of the store clerks to sell ice cream to the people on the bus. In the early days, Daddy was also in the loan business. He would loan money to people who could not get a loan anywhere else. He kept an account of the loans in a huge metal contraption that had 26 slots ranging from A to Z. Each slot had a huge clip that secured the “IOUs” according to the person’s last name. Daddy would get up early on Sunday morning and go from house to house collecting on the loans. I remember him telling my husband Garry about his reasoning for going on Sunday morning. He told Garry that most people were at home at that time of the week and at that time of the morning. I don’t know when Daddy discontinued his loan business; however, I know that he continued to loan certain ones money up until he closed the store. I have so many good memories centered on the grocery business.

The Ludie J. Smith memorial art contest
Submitted article
The Garden Club of South Carolina Inc. will be sponsoring a project next spring that is titled “Follow the Blooms.” This project is to create awareness of the unique and beautiful gardens that exist across the state. Both public and private gardens will be included on the tour. Be sure to watch for more details. An important part of this tour will be various artist creating posters that depict such gardens. These posters will be entered in a contest in Winnsboro and a monetary prize will be awarded. Following the contest, a gala will be hosted by the Garden Club of South Carolina at the National Steeplechase Museum in Camden where Mr. Sam Smith, son of Mrs. Ludie Smith, will make the award presentation.
Teeth vary in size, shape and their location in the jaws. These differences enable teeth to work together to help you chew, speak and smile. They also help give your face its shape and form. At birth people usually have 20 primary (baby) teeth, which often erupt about six months of age. They are then shed at various times throughout childhood. By age 21, all 32 of the permanent teeth have usually erupted. Primary Teeth Eruption Chart
Mrs. Ludie J. Smith
Ludie J. Smith
The following information will be featured about Mrs. Smith on brochures and entry forms across the state and possibly the nation. “Ludie J. Smith was born September 2, 1926 and thus grew up during the ‘Great Depression’ of the 1930s. This historical period helped shape her love for her family and deeper concern for hard work and creativity. During the depression it was necessary that she master the task of survival with a strong sense of family loyalty putting her twelve (12) siblings and parents ahead of her personal desire. She developed a commendable work ethic and began to create useful items for the family that later turned to art forms which expressed her creative ability. She didn’t create master pieces with the stroke of a brush, a pen, or a keyboard, but with a crochet hook and quilting looms she expressed her artistic tendencies. Her quilts became floral displays as hundreds of crochet pieces whose patterns were floral, butterflies, fruit, nature and garden scenes and even human were “paintings” with unusual media. All creations of art, each in its own right. The struggles of Ludie J. Smith during this era are the struggles that many artists face today. The only difference is she did not search for fame and fortune but only an expression of her artistic self. She may have never gone to art school, may have never had a private showing of her water or oil paintings, may never have had a sculpture displayed in a town square but each form of media she used to create art was a unique expression of her inner beauty, her true self. When viewing any ‘work of art’ by Mrs. Smith the person she was is evident. This is why I am pleased to sponsor in her memory the Ludie J. Smith Poster Competition Award for 2011.”

Tara Davis, ALCMS athletic director, with the help of Erria Daniels and Amy Stroman, organized a free girls’ basketball camp for girls from Busbee Elementary and A.L. Corbett Middle School. Because our students do not have access to organized sports opportunities during the summer such as those in larger towns, the ALCMS coaches offered their time to help local students improve their basketball skills. More than 20 girls were very eager to learn and had fun during the weeklong camp.

AL-ANON
You didn’t cause your loved one to drink A new podcast from Al-Anon Family Groups entitled “Did we cause our loved one to drink?” shares firsthand knowledge from men and women who have been affected by someone else’s drinking, according to Nicolette Stephens, Information Analyst for AlAnon Family Groups’ World Service Office “The podcast focuses on a question so many people worry about, but are afraid to ask,” Stephens said. “To listen to the podcast, look on the Al-Anon home page at www.Al-AnonFamilyGroups.org, under First Steps to Recovery in Al-Anon.” Al-Anon podcasts are available free of charge. “One of the reasons people affected by someone else’s drinking isolate is they are afraid the drinking is their fault, and they don’t want anyone to find out,” Stephens explained. The podcasts demonstrate how local Al-Anon meetings can offer families in [name of local community] support on a confidential basis,” Stephens said. “The same fear that causes people to isolate can create a strong bond of recovery between those who have been in the same situation.” The series of six podcasts from Al-Anon Family Groups addresses fears many people have in common when their loved one has a problem with alcohol. A subscription to all six podcasts is available at no charge. Al-Anon Family Groups is a not-for-profit organization that has been helping families and friends of people who have a drinking problem since 1951. More information about Al-Anon Family Groups you can call 1-888-4Al-Anon during business hours throughout the U.S. and Canada. Information is available online at www.Al-AnonFamilyGroups.org. For local Al-Anon information, contact Nancy B. at (803) 564-6487. Local meetings are held Mondays at 7 p.m. at Wagener United Methodist Church, 153 Columbia Highway, Wagener, and Saturdays at 8 p.m. at Saron Baptist Church, Wagener.

The ‘Charlie’ factor – helping the community
By JOHNNIE ALLEN WEST Columnist
Several weeks ago our minister at Wagener United Methodist Church was away on Sunday morning, and Charlie Tyler, a lay speaker in our denomination, led our Sunday morning worship service. Many of you know Charlie quite well, as he was born and raised in our community, but many of you may not know that he is an educator in our school system and is certainly gifted as a teacher when it comes to sharing some of the most profound, yet simplest guidelines, for survival in the everyday world. Charlie’s message, as I perceived it, was simply that we should make every effort, as we go about our daily activities, to do something worthwhile and good in our communities. We should strive to follow the religious teachings we have committed to memory since childhood – not just believe them, but make a concerted effort to practice them in our everyday lives. If you are anything like me, you probably take a little quiet time for yourself everyday. I call it my meditation time. This is the time when I look at myself and the day ahead and decide what my priorities better be for the next 24 hours. During this time I generally think about what I am thankful for, what problems I need help with and who I know that has problems a whole lot bigger than mine. As I see it, a little quiet time, at the very least, nudges me in the right direction for the remainder of my day. I strive for early morning meditation, but often my meditations are conducted as I am driving down the road. Trust me – you don’t have to have your eyes closed to pray! Sometimes my meditations occur during a quiet moment when I turn into the Wagener Cemetery to “speak to” my mama and daddy. Many times these stops occurs when I am pondering a problem and needing some advice. I usually tell mama and daddy about my problem, and then go on about my business of the day. Without fail, sometime during the day, my problem usually resolves itself! I am convinced that the solution to the problem is simply in the telling of it and “talking it out.” But back to Charlie’s message. I thought long and hard about what he was getting at – we need to stop being apathetic, which is a hard thing to do when we have busy careers and hectic family schedules. We need to look around us and take the time to give more than verbal credence to our religious beliefs.
There are people all around us who can use a little help. I am acquainted with an elderly couple, customers of mine, who are both in frail health. They are driving an older model car, which seems to be on its last leg. These two people are very independent, live alone and do everything they can to take care of themselves. Last week their vehicle seemed to be jumping from one crisis right into another one. The wife, who is the driver in this twosome, felt lucky if the car would navigate to the drugstore to pick up their medicines and back home again without breaking down! She, however, with a little help from some folks she trusted, managed to breathe a little new life into her old car. Now she feels pretty safe driving it where she needs to go. This couple could probably use lots of help, if those of us who could offer it would only take the time to do so. Then there is the elderly gentleman who lives in our community, is in poor health, lives alone, has no family close by and very little monthly income. This gentleman spent many years taking care of others in our community when they were ill and couldn’t take care of themselves. He would certainly appreciate an occasional hot meal, a little help with his monthly bills, some clothing you don’t need that might fit him or just a visit once in a while. We all need to remember that we don’t have to be elderly or in poor health to appreciate acts of kindness. Another “Charlie” in my life, Mr. Charlie Sturkie, who is with Christ Central Ministries, brings delight and happiness to my heart every time he shares some of his beautiful peppers or tomatoes with me. He seems to enjoy the sharing of his produce as much as I enjoy the receiving of it! His happiness is in the sharing and mine in the receiving. He can turn my drabbest day into a pleasant one through his wonderful generosity. Even though he is a very busy man, he takes the time to bring a little joy to others. I also remember Mr. Charlie Widener, another special “Charlie” in my life. Mr. Charlie passed away a while back, but he and his wife, Ms. Edith, were always bringing a smile to my face sharing their roasted pecans with me. Mr. Charlie knew pecans were a favorite of mine, so every year he would show up at the store bringing me some delicious version of Ms. Edith’s roasted nuts. I am sure that you all know that gathering pecans, shelling them and then roasting them is a rather time-consuming task. Sharing their labor of love, after all that work, shows
what Mr. Charlie and Ms. Edith really had in their hearts! We can all benefit from the lessons these three “Charlies” have taught me. Let’s all look around our communities and help those in need, or simply provide a little joy and happiness to brighten someone’s day. Remember, that regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, we all have special gifts we can share with others. As I close, I ask you to remember “Eva’s Air Force” and our community
project to honor Lt. Donald Cooper, a native of our area. Any donation you make to this project will be used to honor Donald and to maintain the Veterans’ Monument in Wagener. Please remember all the men and women serving us in Iraq and Afghanistan. This might be an excellent place to let others know we care. Send a letter, a card, or a care package to a soldier. Anything you do will be appreciated! God bless you, and God bless America!

Mission trip to Thailand was all in God’s time
By LINDSEY FULMER Contributor
About five years ago, I began what I thought to be just another project for school. I picked the country of Thailand as my subject, randomly I thought. Little did I know, this would be the start of a long journey. I started researching for this project, and what I discovered was shocking! Ninety-six percent of all Thai people are LINDSEY Buddhist and less than 1 FULMER percent are Christian. In March 2005, I wrote in my Bible a short prayer, asking God to show me what to do on behalf of the Thai people. He answered, “Prepare your heart, and, when the time comes, I will send you there.” That very same October, John Smithwick Ministries International (JSMI) came to the church I was attending at the time and talked about many different missions they were doing all over the world. More specifically, they were going to Thailand! I told them my story, and they said I could go. I was so excited! But unfortunately, I wasn’t able to go. I was very sad, but I wasn’t discouraged. I knew God was going to send me there; it was just a matter of time. I kept praying for the Thai people and for God to open a door for the following five years, and, in October 2009, he did just that. John Smithwick and his ministry came back to that church, and they were going back to Thailand. I got my application and began fundraising. God blessed me tremendously through churches, family and friends. I was able to
raise all of the finances to go within a few months. I was scheduled to leave in June to do this work of God. About a month before we were supposed to go, trouble started stirring in Bangkok, Thailand. This is where our plane was scheduled to land. Thank God things settled down, and we were able to get there safe! Some of the team was already there preparing for the week ahead. When we all arrived, there were about 54 of us on the Thailand team. After our long day of flying, we drove three hours to Siphon Bury, Thailand, where we were going to stay and minister. The next day, which was Sunday, we trained all day long for dramas, street ministry and getting ourselves prepared for the days of ministry ahead. We split up into teams of about six JSMI members plus a translator and team leader. We headed out early and went to three schools and a marketplace each day. We would tell the story of Jesus, play games with the kids, do a drama about Jesus healing and cleansing sins, offer for anyone who wanted to receive Jesus as Lord of their life, have a healing prayer and then pass out books and fliers about the evening crusades. After the prayer of salvation, we would ask, “How many of you, is this first time hearing the story of Jesus?” and 99 to 100 percent of the children, teachers, workers and people on the streets would raise their hands. When doing the prayer of healing, we would ask, “Is there anyone here with pain or sickness in your body?” Then we would pray for them. While at one school, a little girl who had been deaf since birth was healed, she was able to hear without the hearing aids she had to have. After ministering during the day, we would come back together as a whole and minister at an evening crusade. Here the gospel was
presented, and healings and salvations would occur. The very first night of crusade ministry, there was a woman who had been confined to her wheelchair for 15 months after giving birth; she wasn’t able to walk. As we prayed for her in the name of Jesus, she was healed and got up out of her wheelchair and walked on her own!
God used us while we were there. Even a Head Buddhist Monk received Christ after 40 years of following Buddhist religion! In the five days we ministered, there were 11,260 salvations and 278 confirmed healings. God is doing mighty things in the nation of Thailand. Keep the Thai people in your prayers. God bless!

Serving Aiken County Since 1980
By DIANNE
We have had a few bumps in the road lately. With all the very hot days we have been experiencing, our old air conditioner just conked out. Our dear Jesse was faithful to be there no matter what the temperature. The same was with Clara, Geneva, Alma, Dorothy, Delores, Eartha and Patricia. They came and sat around and talked about the “good old days” when no one even had a fan. You opened windows and doors to let in the cool night breeze. Then they told about attic fans and window fans and how well they thought they were at the time. “None of this talk made any of us any cooler.” After a week of this intense heat, I made an executive decision to close the Women’s Well until we could get it fixed. I even posted a sign on the front door stating such and asking for prayers. I spoke our need loud and clear. That’s what the Bible says in Matthew 7:7 “ask and it shall be given to you.” Our prayers were answered and a new five-ton air conditioning unit was installed by Barry’s Heat & Air Conditioner Service in Perry. He did a great job and we are now as cool as can be. Clara, Eartha, Alberta, Patricia and Jesse have been quilting a new quilt. It is a star pattern in shades of purple with a white background. It is beautiful and will be a pleasure for me to put the binding around it soon.
For those of us who just love to get our hands on pretty material, we can’t wait to tear through a new donation box of cloth. What’s the most fun is hearing all the ideas of things that can be sewn or crafted from our plundering. Creativeness comes natural to these ladies. They have been doing this all their lives. Most of them have had big families and sewing was a necessity to clothe their children. Many of these precious women worked in sewing factories. They can make beautiful quilts from scraps, tote bags from fabric samples and aprons from old jeans. Amazing! Starting on Monday, July 26 at 6 to 8 p.m. and Tuesday, July 27 at 10:30 a.m. to noon we will have a new Bible study at the Women’s Well. “Discerning the Voice of God” by Priscilla Shirer is one I have wanted to bring to the women of this area for some time. Priscilla is the daughter of Evangelist Tony Evans and is a dynamic Bible teacher. She will be in Columbia on Oct. 8-9 at Shandon Baptist Church. All women of all ages are invited to join us for either for the night class or the morning class for the next six weeks. If you want further information, come by the Women’s Well or call me at (803) 606-1780. The Women’s Well is open every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. All women are invited and welcomed to join us for fun, fellowship and teachable experiences (sewing, quilting, Bible studies.) Be blessed.

Legal Questions? We Have Answers
What should I do if I am involved in a traffic accident?
First and foremost, seek medical attention if warranted. Once your well-being and that of your fellow accident victims have been evaluated and stabilized, you should collect important information from those involved in the accident. If you have been charged with a crime or fear you may be charged, the longer you wait to retain an attorney, the more difficult your case could be. Serious legal problems require the advice, support, experience, and knowledge of a lawyer. If you’ve been injured on the job, you are entitled do a certain amount of compensation from your employer: • An injured worker may have the right to receive benefits • An injured worker has the right to receive medical care • An injured worker has the right to hire an attorney • An injured worker has the right to confidentiality

‘BLESSED LIFE’
Words flow through my brain and on to paper like the wind through the trees, I tell my life’s story of my additions, so others, too, can see. Lived most of my life in darkness, till I let Jesus in my heart, Now it’s been over two years, since I got my new start.
BRIAN WATTS
I work hard, keep my mind busy, think of others first, A drastic change in my life, Refreshing like on a hot day, Quenching your thirst. I write these words about addictions, Tell my story when I can, Hope these words reach everyone that needs them, All across the land. You, too, can be saved, If you even care, Just let God into your life, Then your story you could share. Over twenty years an addict, My life was such a mess, Different life, Different thoughts with Jesus in it, My life is blessed. Brian is a miracle! He has recovered from more than 20 years of abusing and being heavily addicted to several kinds of drugs and alcohol. God literally “showed him the light” on Oct. 31, 2007, If you are interested in contacting Brian, his e-mail address is finallysober@2000@yahoo.com.
Since then I’ve come to realize, a tormented soul uses addiction to
numb the pain, Wandering through life with no direction, Chasing demons in their brain. I’ve also realized how through prayer, God entered my life and saved my soul, Took away some sadness and pain, drugs and drinkin’, My life was ultimately the toll.
How would you feel?
It is so amazing how quick we are to judge others for what we believe they have done, or are doing, but when it is time to examine our own sins, we try to hide. David tried to hide his sins, Jonah tried to run from God, but there is one thing we must keep in mind, God sits high and He looks low, so how can we hide anything MARLON from God? God is no respecter HUDSON of person, and in His eyes, sin is sin. There is so much going on in the world today and for those that do not have God on their side, please do not let another day pass without confessing Jesus is Lord! We are so quick to blame others for what is going on in the world, we are so quick to put down those that are in command, but yet what are we doing to help the situation? Jesus ate with the sinners and the publicans; He forgave an adulterous woman, Jesus sought out to save, not condemn! We need to empathize with those that we ridicule and put down; we need to think how it would be to walk a mile in their shoes. How would you feel if all of your sins were exposed? This is something we fail to realize, we are no better than anyone else, self-righteousness will cause some of us to fall by the wayside. There are some good people in hell too, so be careful how you condemn others, because Jesus says; “JUDGE not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” I just believe in loving everyone and living by the principles of God. No matter what you have done, God still loves you, God hates the sin, but loves the sinner, so never give up on God because He will never give up on you. Choose ye this day, whom ye will serve, will it be God, or will it be man? Always think about how you would feel if you were in those shoes you are talking about. Just know that Jesus Christ died for them too, and we must do everything decent and in order. As Christians, we are responsible for making disciples; we are responsible for sharing Jesus without fear. It is time to get out of self, and let the Holy Spirit lead and guide you. Above all things, put on charity, for love is greater and covers a multitude of sins! God loves you and so do I. Minister J. Marlon Doyle Hudson
Power of personal interaction
There is no question we are living in a fast-paced world. People are busy and time is precious. We are spending less time in personal communication. Recently this hit home to me. Due to a power outage, my wife and I had no access to television, telephones or the Internet. DR. TOMMY Instead of comHUDDLESTON plaining, we were able to spend quality time “talking.” Can’t tell you who did most of the talking (ha!), but it was very healthy for our relationship. The lack of personal dialogue is a major issue in our culture. You can visit most homes and find the television, cell phone and Internet have taken over, resulting in little time for personal interaction. I am not down on technology, but I am concerned that when abused it can become dangerous. God reaffirmed a valuable lesson to me. He delights in hearing from His children. He will never put me on hold and is always delighted to hear my voice. I love to hear the voices of my children. I never want our interaction to be limited to e-mail and texting. Are you allowing anything to compete with spending quality time with God, family and friends? Time is too precious for us to waste it. Make it a priority to spend uninterrupted time with God and family! Avoid anything that will distract you from speaking with God and listening for His response. Do the same with your family and friends. You will not be sorry! Wherever you are in our fastpaced culture, slow down and really enjoy life. Get to know and appreciate the people around you. Make it a priority to spend quality time with them. Let people get to know you and the blessing you can be to them. Do not allow distractions to rob you of daily interaction with God. This will be the best time of your day! As Christians, we are to follow the example of Jesus. He was always focused on His relationship with His Father and never allowed distractions to rob Him of that special time. Neither should we!

The students were selected on the basis of their academic achievements, school activities, community service and a personal interview. “I love Washington. I want to live here,” exclaimed Ashlynn Stephenson. The rising senior from Silver Bluff High plans to study anesthesiology at USC. The students thoroughly enjoyed the history and recreation in D.C. The Washington Youth Tour is a tradition among cooperatives across the nation, and this year was another successful adventure for nearly 1,500 students from 47 other states.
From New Hampshire to Hawaii, the students congregate for a week filled with visits to historic sites, museums, war memorials and tributes to past presidents. The students also spent a touring day at the Capitol meeting with South Carolina Reps. James Clyburn, John Spratt and Joe Wilson. They also met with Sens. Jim DeMint and Lindsey Graham. All high school juniors in Aiken Electric Cooperative’s service area are eligible to apply for the positions Aiken sponsors on the Youth Tour. Applications for the 2011 Youth Tour will be available in January at area high schools at www.aikenco-op. org, at Aiken Co-op offices or by calling (800) 922-1262.

Bass looks back on career as educator
focus on the positive aspects of the school and its students. The future of everything hinges on the success of how we educate the next generation. As we grow older, we become dependent on these younger ones to help advance the economic development and services needed to carry on for our enjoyment of life and freedoms. Our students show progress each year, and they need your support. They need reminders of their successes and of their potential for more success. They need a proactive community looking ahead and making changes that will impact the entire community, including the school, in a positive manner for a better quality of life. Ultimately, having students return to the community after college to work and contribute is an ultimate success. Please continue to find ways to pass on your gifts and talents to the next generation through your actions and words. Simply volunteering at the school, mentoring students in your church, donating your services, speaking encouraging words, and knowing the accomplishments of the school that you can share with others can make more of a difference than you could ever imagine. We should always have good news to share about our school. Make it a point to know good things about the progress of ALCMS. As I left the building, locked the door and looked back, it was as though I was leaving something. Then it dawned on me, that I was leaving a big piece of my heart for the students – students who have been through the school and my anticipation for students coming in the years ahead that this time I will observe from the outside looking in. After 12 years at ALCMS, I know that the years ahead will continue to be productive and progressive to make this community proud of not only the school, but also of what really makes up a school – its people – students, faculty, staff, parents and business/community partners. We must remember that even 12 years from now, our measure of success will be about the people of this community. Everyone has a story to tell about educational achievements. What’s yours? May God bless all our students, teachers and the communities represented at ALCMS. Sincerely, Deborah Bass, Ph.D. Retired Principal
Dear ALCMS families and friends: This marks the first few weeks of my retirement. During my final walk through the school, I reflected on the past 12 years and remembered so many students, teachers and families I had the pleasure of knowing. My first experience at ALCMS was as a substitute teacher in seventh-grade English/ language arts. I was DEBORAH hooked. Although I had BASS a master’s degree in journalism, I chose to return to college and complete the equivalent of another master’s degree in education. Additionally, I completed a semester of student teaching. I was pleased to return to ALCMS that fall to start my student teaching requirement in computer, algebra and eighth-grade math classes. Ultimately, I completed my doctorate in elementary education. My dad used to claim that I was a professional student – and he was right. After earning my doctorate, I had to return to class again to take classes required for becoming a certified administrator. Through these experiences, I quickly realized how life changing it was to pursue a career in the educational field, and it was well worth it. I have had the pleasure of teaching and/or supervising wonderful students and teachers at ALCMS, as well as Busbee, Aiken El, Silver Bluff and WSH. I have enjoyed serving as an adjunct on college faculties such as Lander, the College of Charleston and as a member of the USCA faculty. My vision for ALCMS has been for students to develop their talents that will propel them to the next levels of their educational goals. As I reflect on what has happened during my tenure, I could share hundreds of stories about how our students have had adults to help guide them in making good decisions and encouraging them to always focus on “the higher ground.” We must always think about the influence we have on our youth and the influence we use to improve their quality of life. One certainty is that all students need supportive and positive adults. I hope in the coming months and years, the communities served by ALCMS will
