“Our main goal is to getin front of as many peopleas possible between nowand November and helpthem understand theimportance of this referen-dum, to not only improvinghealthcare in our area, butkeeping quality healthcarein Loris,” said John Boyd,co-chairman of the CBHScommittee.

The group has planned tohave a booth at the Irish-American Festival in North

Myrtle Beach and also havea large presence during theLoris Bog-Off Festival Oct.15.

Maurice Jones, also co-chairman with Boyd andNorth Myrtle Beach’s EdPrince, shared the impor-tance of local churches ingetting the word out.

“We need to get as muchinformation into the handsof the church communityas we can,” said Jones.“Many of our local church-es have sick and shut-ins,and as we all know, absen-tee voting is very importantin a referendum such asthis.”

The committee has setup a website,www.YesForBetterHealthcareServices.com and othermedia, including yard signsand flyers, to help get theword out about the Nov. 1vote.

When asked what theabsolute worst case sce-nario would be should the

vote fail to pass in the refer-endum on Nov. 1? Co-chair-man Boyd said, “The possi-bility exists that LorisCommunity Hospital couldbecome nothing more thanan emergency room, andthe loss of the city’s largestemployer.”

Loris Healthcare beganconsidering a merger earli-er this year, and in Julyentered into a managementagreement with McLeodHealth. Under a five-yearagreement, McLeodRegional Medical Center,an affiliate of McLeodHealth, will provide clinicalservices in cardiology,orthopedics, oncology, gen-eral surgery and additionalmedical staff development.

Jumana Swindler, aspokeswoman for McLeod,said it will provide anadministrator for LorisHospital and Seacoast andwill give support to physi-cians on staff.

While the healthcare sys-

tem benefits from the man-agement agreement, amerger would bring moredoctors and technology toLoris and Seacoast, whichwill expand and enhancehealthcare services for thelocal communities, saidCeleste Bondurant-Bell, aspokeswoman for LorisHealthcare.

ents, Dalton Watts, and2010 Loris Bog-off JuniorMiss Lakelyn Johnson alsoperformed before theintermission.

After the intermission,Lorisa Bog-Off formerqueens, Emily Peal, lastyear’s Young Miss winner,Breanna Barfield, the 2010Teen Miss winner and lastyear’s Queen, CaitlynRhodes, each providedentertainment for theaudience.

Yes vote and merger are no-brainersNever let it be said

that I knowmuchabout mergers,

acquisitions, and all thatbig business mumbo-jumbo.What I do know is that

Loris Community Hospitalhas always been a well-runand respected medicalfacility, and the numberone employer in our area. Itis home to many doctors,nurses, and specialists whonow call Loris their home,and many who have alwayscalled Loris their home.We, as residents of Loris,

have watched the smallstart-up community med-ical center blossom andgrow under solid leadershipduring the past 65 yearsinto one of the finesthealthcare systems any-where, and of any size.I have so many personal

experiences that I couldrecall, but the most impor-

tant tome wasthe hospi-tal’s long-standingrelation-ship withMcLeodRegionalMedicalCenter.I credit

the jointefforts ofthese twofine facili-ties andtheir car-diac spe-

cialists with my even beingable to write this editorialtoday. For more than 14years, they have continuedto work together for thebetterment of my healthand well-being, in spite ofmyself.Therefore, a merger, to

me, sounds like a logical

step and a step in the rightdirection.McLeod has a solid repu-

tation, both medically andfinancially. They haveaccess to research anddevelopment, more special-ists than any hospital in thestate, and partnering withthem can only increase bet-ter medical care forNorthern Horry County.All the smaller institu-

tions are joining with othersto become more solid in themedical market place.McLeod, like Loris andSeacoast Medical Centerare all not-for-profit hospi-tals that help keep medicalcosts down, as opposed tothe for-profits such asGrand Strand, whichstrongly oppose the merger.All they see are dollar

signs they could ring up ifthey had a chance to buy -excuse me, acquire - ourhospital, if they had the

chance.The merger, as I under-

stand it, will still have aminimum of three localmembers on the board ofdirectors, and will no doubthelp us as we continue togrow in census daily atSeacoast Medical Center.The referendum is

mandatory since LorisHospital is a state entity,and is really a good way toinsure that all local votersknow what really is at stake.What could possibly be at

stake? How about the lossof jobs to hundreds of Lorispeople who depend onLoris Hospital to supporttheir families?A ‘no’ vote in the referen-

dum could possibly causenot only that situation, buteven the exiting of severalLoris doctors who are herebecause of the services pro-vided by the hospital andthe Loris Extended Care

Facility.It is these very goods and

services that have keptLoris growing, bringing innot only retirees to livehere, but also bringing fam-ilies to our area, thanks toour local school system,and bringing in top-notchdoctors along with them.So, do you see my point?

The slightest chance of thedecrease in quality health-care in our area could bedevastating to the Lorisarea economy.It is a chance that I am

not willing to take.Whatabout you?Is not voting ‘yes’ at the

referendum Nov. 1 worth allthe negative effects that itwill cause? I think not.Spread the word. Show

up at the polling places.Vote in favor of theHealthcare ServicesReferendum. It is a nobrainer. Really.

“We Werethe Mulvaneys”It took tremendous disci-

pline to read “WeWerethe Mulvaneys,” and it

ended up being one of thebest books I’ve ever read.It was agonizingly diffi-

cult waiting for the seem-ingly endless narrative tocatch.This old brain usually

needs the stimulation ofpage-turning can’t-put-it-down Harlan Coben dia-logue or issue-laden JodiPicoult’s philosophicalgenre.Oh yea, there’s the occa-

sional Anne Tyler charac-ter-heavy novel thatreminds me why I lovewords as much as I do.And the relationship-ori-

ented Anita Shreve bookthat delves into humannature as no psychologistcan.But the Joyce Carol Oates

trademark narrative wastough at first.Because I kept picking it

up in book stack after bookstack, I determined towade through at least thefirst 100 pages before Idecided against reading it –it was a challenge.I felt like I was supposed

to read it, in a meant-to-bekind of way.On one level, it’s simplis-

tically straightforward as afamily of four children andtwo adults spirals down-ward into an abyss of dys-function, ultimately findingtheir salvations, both indi-vidually and collectively.On the other hand, it’s

incredibly complex as a

family offour chil-dren andtwoadultsspiralsdown-ward intoan abyssof dys-function,ultimate-ly findingtheir sal-vations,bothindividu-ally and

collectively!Each character’s journey

could have been a saga initself.But the interaction

between each of them asthey react to their own andeach other’s lives is famil-iar, strange, comforting andhorrifying all at once.It’s the kind of book that

makes the reader actuallymiss the characters whenthey retreat back into theirpages.I found myself thinking

about Michael andCorinne, Michael Jr.,Patrick, Marianne and Juddlong after I put the bookback on its shelf.It also made me think

about my own parents, mysister, and myself.We alsohave had ourjourneys…our spirals andour salvations.It was a good book. And

it was a good realizationthat on some level, we areall the Mulvaneys.

As we embark on a newschool year in HorryCounty Schools, I want toprovide a glimpse of wherewe currently are as aschool system as well asthe course we have set forthe future.Our vision is to be “a

premier, world-classschool system in whichevery student acquires anexcellent education. Ourschools will be welcomingcenters organized aroundhigh-quality teaching andlearning.”Clearly, academic per-

formance is key to posi-tioning our children forsuccess; therefore we trackour students’ performanceacross all grades and con-tent areas. Some of theperformance highlightsduring the most recentschool year include:Fourth and fifth graders

performed at the 78th per-centile nationally in math;Our high school stu-

dents reached the nationalaverage in math on theSAT;The Class of 2011 earned

a record $48.2 million incollege scholarships;We had 14 National

Merit Scholarship Finalists(more than in any othersingle year);We had the largest num-

ber of students in our his-tory taking AdvancedPlacement and/or

InternationalBaccalaureate courses andthe highest number of stu-dents earning college cred-its in high school throughAdvanced Placement anddual credit courses;We have implemented

an aggressive literacyintervention program toensure all children developappropriate proficiency inthe critical areas of readingand writing.We listen carefully to

what our stakeholders say.In last year’s survey of par-ents, 76 percent of thoseresponding said theirchild’s school was doing a“very good” or “good” joboverall; and we wereextremely pleased whenSchoolMatch.com namedus a “What ParentsWantAward” winner – an awardgiven to only 16 perent ofschool districts nationally.We think our innovative

practice of expanding stu-dent choices is helpingfuel our success. Amongchoices currently availableare: HCS Virtual Schoolonline courses, ScholarsAcademy (in partnershipwith Coastal CarolinaUniversity); Early CollegeHigh School (in partner-ship with HorryGeorgetown TechnicalCollege); InternationalBaccalaureate; careeracademies; new STEMprogram; and single-gen-der and year-round

options.We have equipped every

elementary classroom withan interactive whiteboardbecause our children needinformation communica-tion technology literacy(ICT). Expanding to mid-dle and high schools isoccurring as you read thisarticle. All teachers havelaptop computers andschools have a ratio of onecomputer for every threestudents. By December, allschools will be wireless toenable easy access to theinternet for instructionaluses.We want our schools to

be community schools,linked to local values andbeliefs such as responsibil-ity, initiative, persever-ance, respect, honesty, andleadership.We teach theseskills through activitiessuch as service learning,clubs, fine arts, and athlet-ics, to name a few.Webelieve the pathway tosuccess runs through ourclassroom doors.We will continue to work

with families and busi-nesses and faith-basedcommunities to establish aculture in our schools thatreflects and supports thosevalues that you hold dear.The work of public

schools is to preserve ournation’s democratic princi-ples.We take this responsi-bility seriously and willcontinue to develop theyoung people of HorryCounty into adults ofwhom we will all be proud.

In years past, vacationswere when the familypacked up the car anddrove to their destinationsthrough the many smalltowns and big cities alongthe way. Usually, seeingmany weird or unusualthings along the way. Theywould also eat at the“local” places and hear dif-ferent legends and lore ofthe different areas. AhhhMemories!Today, though roadside

America isn’t disappearing,we’re just too busy to see it.With the invention of theinterstate highway systemand more families doingmore things like the Disneyparks and cruises, we seemto always be in a hurry, allthe while forgetting about

what used to makevacations fun.Vacations are supposed

to be family get-aways, atime to relax. For some thatis just the opposite.Withtheme parks, ticket pricesare expensive and why paya lot of money to stand inline for hours battling theheat, just to have to explainto my son that after anhours wait in line, he isn’tbig enough to ride the rideI am not saying I haven’t

done it or will not do itagain, but it’s not my firstchoice to relax. I do howev-er, love to talk and learnabout different areas.Wecould all learn a lot if wecould learn to slow downand enjoy life. It truly ispassing us by faster thanwe think.A few things that

although are not detrimen-tal to our existence are

some of the weird andunusual things around us ifwe take the road less trav-eled.In Darlington, you can

hear the legend of J.L.Klickner, a Union soldierwho refused to followGeneral Sherman’s order toburn a house during hismarch to the sea. The homewas that of ConfederateColonel SamuelWilds.Whywouldn’t the Union soldierwant to burn it? Klickner,before the war designedand built the home ofWildsand it was one of hisfavorite commissions.How many of today’s

youth know about the GrayMan of Pawleys Island.In Blacksville, you can

actually drink water thatbelongs to God. There isactually a deed on it. EarlyIndian tribes thought thewater had super healing

powers and used it to healBritish Redcoats during theAmerican Revolution. TheArtesian Spring is called theHealing Springs.Everyone loves a great

story about monsters suchas Bigfoot or as he is calledaround the Carolinas, the“CarolinaWoolybooger.”What about the “Thing”

of Clarendon County, the“Lizard Man” of Lee Countywho was supposedly seenaround here too, or the“Vampire Beast ofBladenboro.”Aside from strange visi-

tors or things that go bumpin the night, you can learnof local living legends, too.Living in this sense does-

n’t have to mean still alivebut were real people. Oneexample is of a black mannamed “Trotting Sally.”Legend has it that his trot-ting gait gave him his name

and he was so fast he couldgive the train conductor hishat in one town and bewaiting to pick it up in thenext town, sometimes 20miles away. Not impressivetoday, but he done it thenon foot and all the whileplaying his violin. One thathe never went anywherewithout and he would useto answer questions withmaking the strings say “yesand no.” Talk about a talltale, but as we know thereis always some truth tothese long yarns.The list could go on and

on and I encourage every-one to just slow down, relaxand enjoy their familywhile on vacation.Remember roadside

America gave joy to ourparents and grandparentsand it will give joy to us aswell if we just take the roadless traveled.

| OP-ED |

Are family vacations a thing of the past? Are we too busy to take the road less teaveled?Roadside America: Where has it gone?

MINUTESERMON

BY THELMA C. TODDFOR THE LORIS SCENE

I have told you severaltimes before I was a mem-ber of the church 25 yearsbefore I was saved.I did not know I was not

saved but have some scrip-ture that has caused me tochange my mind. It is Acts19:1-7.This is an incident about

Paul in Ephesus. He foundsome Gentile believers andasked them, “Did youreceive the Holy Spirit whenyou became believers?”“No,” they said, “We havenot even heard that there isa Holy Spirit.” So Paul asked,“Then what baptism did youreceive?” They replied,“John’s baptism.” Then Paulsaid, “John’s baptism was abaptism of repentance. Youmust believe in the Onecoming after him, that is inJesus.”On hearing that they were

baptized in the name ofJesus and when Paul laidhands on them, the HolySpirit came on them.In all four gospels, all the

people John baptized weretold there was One comingafter him whose shoes hewas not worthy to untie andHe would baptize them inthe Holy Spirit. (Matt. 3:11,Mark 1:9-11, Luke 3:21-22,John 1:26-27) So now Ibelieve that is what hap-pened to me. Somethingsure changed me.Jesus became the most

important thing in my life. Ibelieve He baptized me inthe Holy Spirit.

Are you a hall of famer like Jephthah?Jephthah: A man listedalong with the likes of

Abraham, Moses, andNoah in Hebrews 11, oftenknown as the Bible’s “hall offame of faith.”What made him stand

out? He was an overcomer,and an example of no mat-ter where you are born,what you’re born into, orwhat your environment orcircumstance, you can,through faith in God, live anabundant life.Not many of us have the

perfect family.We all experi-ence negative eventsthroughout our lives thatoften scar us.We can all experience

rejection, physical or emo-tional abuse, divorce oralcoholism within the fami-ly circle.Later in life, through

those experiences, we often

strugglewith lowself-esteem,anxiety,and evendepres-sion andaddic-tion.Webegan tobelievethat whathap-penedyesterdayhas a last-ing effecton what

our life is going to be.Not so. Just look at the life

of Jephthah. He was born toa prostitute, kicked out ofthe family home by his ownbrothers, robbed of hisrightful inheritance, forcedto live as a rebel in a cave,

disappointed with the reli-gious leaders of the day.His story is found in

Judges 11, where he, despitehis family life and circum-stances, kept his faith inGod, made a solemn vow toserve Him, and became asavior of the nation ofIsrael.With his small militiaand his faith, he deliveredher from her enemies.It was this man,

Jephthah, who took justwhat he had, started fromjust where he was, and didwhat he could with whatGod had given him. Jeph-thah did not let his past,nor his circumstances hin-der his faith or the choiceshe made. He seized everyGod-given opportunity.You and I are no different.

As believers, we are bornanew. Our past and ourfamily situations no longer

matter. Yesterday no longerhas a hold on us becausethat is exactly what it is. Thepast. Gone. Never to return.We already have won the

victory over anything thatcomes to us in the future. Itis simply faith that assuresus of that awe-inspiringfact.We are no longer prod-

ucts of our environment.We are not slaves to ourpast, only victors of a prom-ising future that includeseternal life in a real placecalled Heaven with a GodWho loves us beyondmeas-ure.Remember the words of 2

Cor. 5: 16-21:“Therefore, from now on,

we regard no one accordingto the flesh. Even thoughwe have known Christaccording to the flesh, yetnow we know Him thus no

longer. Therefore, if anyoneis in Christ, he is a new cre-ation; old things havepassed away; behold, allthings have become new.Now all things are of God,who has reconciled us toHimself through JesusChrist, and has given us theministry of reconciliation,that is, that God was inChrist reconciling the worldto Himself, not imputingtheir trespasses to them,and has committed to usthe word of reconciliation.“Now then, we are

ambassadors for Christ, asthough God were pleadingthrough us: we implore youon Christ’s behalf, be recon-ciled to God. For He madeHim who knew no sin to besin for us, that we mightbecome the righteousnessof God in Him.”Be a hall of famer.

For the first time in 23years, the Lions are 5-0 onthe season entering regionplay.Loris traveled to Hannah

Pamplico last Friday nightand defeated the Raiders 27-0.The Lions quickly shut

down the Raider offense onthe opening drive. The Lorisoffense followed with atouchdown, a five-yard runfrom fullback DL Griffin.Orlin Mejia’s kick was good.The Lions led 7-0.The remainder of the first

half was scoreless for bothteams.The Lions knew they had

more in them than the sevenpoints they scored in the firsthalf.“They were upset at the

half.We expect more from

them and they expect morefrom themselves,” saidCoach Jamie Snider.Loris came out ready to

play in the third period.The Lions received the

opening kick-off of the sec-ond half. DL Griffin againfound the end zone for theLions. This time Griffinscored on a 63-yard recep-tion from quarterbackKentrez Hilton.The Lion defense held

Hannah Pamplico and theLions again made a run forthe goal. Hilton scored on aquarterback keep from nineyards out.The Raiders went three

and out.Fred Bryant broke lose for

the Lions and scored on a77-yard run. The counterwas the only play of thedrive. The extra point was nogood. The Lions led 27-0with the fourth quarter left to

play.The Loris defense held the

Raiders scoreless to closeout the game, including aninterception from RyanBellamy.The undefeated season

has been a confidencebooster for the Lions.“These seniors wanted to

prove they could win gamesafter we lost last year’s sen-iors,” said Coach JamieSnider.Snider went on to say that

these players wanted toprove they are worth check-ing out.This group of Lions has

proved this in the openingweeks of the season. TheLoris defense is very explo-sive and will be tough com-petition for any region oppo-nent. They have allowed anaverage of 10 points pergame. The Loris offense hasmade great strides as the

weeks progress. Hilton canrun the ball, pass, or hand itoff to make the play.Region play will open for

the Lions this week.Snider said that he is tak-

ing one week at the time andfocusing on only Marionright now. The new headcoach is aware of the compe-tition that he faces in theupcoming weeks.“I know that we better

come out ready to play everyweek or we will find our-selves in the loss column realquick,” said Snider.The teams in regionVIII

AA are all capable of pullingout a win any week.Snider said that the key to

winning on the road againstMarion Friday night will beplaying smart and control-ling turnovers.The Lions defeated the

Swamp Foxes in overtimelast season.
