Swampfest is a unique learning experience. A group of young boys are captivated by a washing machine that wouldalso make butter and grind sausage.

BY BRADLEY BLANTONFOR THE LORIS SCENE

Who would have everthought that an old swampwould have been good foranything but mosquitoes?The same people who knewthat it would be just asimportant today as it was aquarter of a century ago.

SwampFest is an annualfestival to give the publicaccess to the natural andcultural history of our area.It is free for anyone want-ing to attend and offersmany great stories fromyesteryear.

For anyone that hasnever been around the“Horry County Black Water

Swamps” there is much tolearn.

Throughout the day youcan see different historicaldisplays, learn about thehabitat and enjoy somegood music.

Events and activitiesincluded candle making,bobbing for apples, and aview of an authentic log

cabin and much more.The Clemson Extension

service offered a view ofmany different types ofinsects and the inside of aworking honey-bee hive.

If that wasn’t enough,you could take a hayrideinto the forest and see

It has often been said thatan idle mind breeds mischiefand mayhem. This isn’t pos-sible for the members of CubScout Pack 822 from Mt.Vernon. For the past coupleof weeks the Cub Scoutshave been really busy with avariety of outings and activi-ties.

The weekend beforeHalloween many of the cubsattended the first annualLoop-O-Ree, which was heldat the KOA Campground inMyrtle Beach. The campoutwas the first for some of theyoungsters and for some ofthe adults as well.

The festivities began onFriday with packs from allover the Chicora Districtchecking in and setting uptheir campsites. After tentswere up and the food wasready, cubs from differentpacks could be seen greetingold friends and making newones.

The opening ceremonybegan the busy Saturdaywith the cubs looking for-ward to earning multiplebelt-loops.

Training was provided tothe young scouts so theymay earn belt-loops in thefollowing topics: music, art,map and compass, fishing,citizenship, marbles, hiking,and video gaming. Yes, videogaming has made its wayinto cub scouting.

As a parent, I wonderedhow can you earn an award

for video gaming. I soonlearned it wasn’t what Ithought it would be. Thevideo gaming award isearned by the scouts learn-ing the rating system andwhat rating is appropriatefor their age, what to do ifsomeone wants you to playone that you shouldn’t andwhen is the right time to playgames. That was the hardestto get across to the young-sters who think it’s alwaysthe right time to play videogames. However, it isstressed that only after allhomework is complete,chores are done and yourparents say it is okay, thenyou can play.

On top of all the loops thecubs earned, they alsoearned a US Heritage Awardthat comes with a medal.

After a busy day of learn-ing and fun, the cubsenjoyed the campfire foodand proceeded to enjoy thenight further by participatingin the Campfire Program.

The Campfire Program isdesigned to be a time whenthe cubs and leaders reflecton the day’s activities, have alittle fun, and further instillthe core values of scouting.The campfire ended with apoem about “Old Glory”recited by one of the staffersand the retirement of anAmerican Flag that hadflown over an extended carefacility for more than 15years.

The weekend ended onSunday morning after aScouts’ Own Service. The

Scouts’ Own Service is aninspirational, informal cere-mony held as part of scout-ing activities. A Scouts’ Ownservice is usually short, oftenlasting no longer than 15minutes. They are made upof a mixture of readings,prayers, reflections andmusic. Many Scouts’ Ownsare based on a particulartheme such as friendship,using resources wisely, orfairness. This might be con-nected to a certain event oroccasion. A Scouts’ Own isnot a replacement for anindividual’s own worshipaccording to their faith.

This past Saturday wasn’tany different as many of theCub Scouts attended theAnnual SwampFest atPlaycard EnvironmentalCenter.

Scouts learned aboutmany things including thatin 1939 Maytag manufac-tured a washing machinethat not only washed yourclothes but made butter andice cream and could even beused as a sausage grinder.

The scouts enjoyedhayrides and candle making.They saw things like tee-peesand a reproductionChippewa Kitchen. Manymade crafts as souvenirsbefore returning home aftera long day of hiking andlearning.

There are many thingsthat may keep young mindsbusy, but Cub Scouts is aguarantee to be both fun andeducational for kids andadults alike.

Tim Tebow in good company, I sayBeing a professional

quarterback is toughenough on any given

day, especially for a num-ber one pick fresh out ofcollege. There are at least11 lean, mean, andextremely fast, full-grownmen who are only seekingto do you bodily harm. On the other side of the

ball, the young quarterbackhas to trust that his owncrew of linemen can pro-tect him from those out totear him limb from limb. Inaddition, he also must havemastered a playbook thatwould put the size of a NewYork City telephone book toshame, and studied moredefensive alignments thanseen in all our major warsput together. Tough enoughfor the average Joe QB.

But theNFL’s TimTebow isfar fromaverage.He is ayoungman witha strongconvic-tion offaith inJesusChrist. Itis a faiththat hehas heldonto allthrough

his college successes, hisfailures, and the manyattacks on his characterand moral standards.The professional ranks,

one would hope, should be

filled with true profession-als, but Tebow is findingotherwise. He is findingimmature mocking of hisritual of prayer in certaingame situations and lessthan intelligent remarks bymainstream media.Granted, Tebow is having

a less than stellar year onthe gridiron, but why theattacks on his faith and themocking of his desire tobend his knees and pray tothe God who blessed notonly him, but every playeron every field in the NFL?But this young man will

no doubt take it all instride. After all, he knowshe’s in some pretty goodcompany who weremocked for their faith. Peter was crucified,

upside down at his request,

as he felt unworthy to diethe same as Christ. Steven was stoned to

death. James was killed by a

sword. John the Baptist was

beheaded. Mark was dragged

through the streets until hisbody was nothing butpieces. Andrew, Phillip and a

host of others were alsocrucified. I think Tebow can take all

the ridicule and trash talk-ing about how his effortsthus far have been less thanstellar on the field. Heck,he is probably more upsetabout how things are goingthan anyone else. Hisefforts on the field of playare fair game for ridicule as

it is with any athlete on thebig stage. He knows this.Attack his ability all you

want, but don’t mock theman’s faith or his beliefs.Imagine what would begoing on right now if itwere a radical Muslimquarterback being mockedand teased for his faith. The NFL would not stand

for it. The governmentwould probably step in.The offending players andsportswriters would nodoubt be fired.All I can say is this: “I’m

with you, Tim Tebow. I amon your team. Keep thefaith, continue your exam-ple to those around youand remember that you arepart of the greatest winningteam of all. You are in goodcompany.”

Online rendezvousreveals real lowlifeWe have to give

credit where creditis due.

A 24-year-old loser inColorado Springs came up

with anamazingexcusewhen hisgirlfriendfoundhim withanotherwoman.Appar -

ent ly theslob meta womanon lineand ofcourse,his unsus-pecting

girlfriend knew nothingabout it.He invited the online girl

over to “get acquainted”and she accepted his hos-pitality.They were getting to

know each other at about 3a.m. one otherwise normalWednesday morning whenhis real girlfriend showedup unexpectedly.So did the pond scum

fess up?Did he even act the gen-

tleman and apologize,

using the old “I’m sorry,and it’ll never happenagain and let’s get married”line?Nope.The lowlife called the

police.He actually reported the

on line woman, saying shewas an intruder who wasthere to burglarize hishome.When the real situation

was revealed, this bum wasmerely cited with a misde-meanor because he made afalse report to the police.We don’t know if the on

line woman sued him forhaving her arrested.We don’t know if the girl-

friend dumped him.I personally would never

have to resort to suchmeasures.If my husband came

home and found me in acompromising positionwith another man, hewould immediately assumethe man was administeringCPR.My husband knows good

and well I wouldn’t even letmy doctor see this out ofshape body.But the Colorado Springs

creep should definitely getcredit for quick thinking.

Occupy, Tea Party not far apart

COLUMN B

EttieNewlands

Idon’t understand all ofthe reasons behind theOccupy Wall Street

movement. Does anyone?Even the protestors?Yet, I think I understand

the frustration with govern-ment that sparked theprotest movement. In anodd sort of way, the grass-roots movement came froma source very similar to theTea Party uprising thatchanged the face ofCongress last year.Whether you are part of

the 99% or a Tea Party loyal-ist, there is a a shared con-cern that it’s time for ourgovernment to work onbehalf of the people, not justthe powerful.Like the Occupy folks and

the Tea Party followers, I’mconcerned that too muchpower has been given to thefederal government.Furthermore, I share thefear that too much money isunder control of an elite few.The perils of having so

much money, power andinfluence controlled by afew people puts the nationat great risk. During the eco-nomic crisis of 2008 the fed-eral government spent morethan a trillion dollars prop-ping up banks, brokeragehouses, insurance compa-nies and automobile com-panies. The public was toldthat these institutions weretoo important to allow to

fail. Fright -ened bytheprospectof anotherGreatDepres -sion, mostAmeri cansbought thegovern-ment’sargumenthook, lineand sinker.In retro-

spect,many peo-ple nowwonder

about the wisdom of thegovernment bailouts. Theywonder how it has come topass that in America certaincompanies are too big tofail. Such a concept is for-eign to my idea of the freeenterprise system.Bigger isn’t always better.This isn’t the first time the

United States has had todeal with financial giantsand monoplies. Shortly afterthe Civil War, so-called Rob -ber Barons created monop-olies that controlled rail-roads, oil and banking. Liketoday, an inordinate amountof money and power wasconcentrated into the handsof relatively few people. Ittook an act of Congress, theSherman Act, to break of themonopolies. It took the

Great Depression and WorldWar II to restore financialbalance in the United States.I’m of the opinion that the

true strength of our nationresides in its large middleclass. Increasingly, however,it’s the middle class that’sgetting squeezed by a gov-ernment that cannot controlspending and policies thathave encouraged the growthof megabanks like WellsFargo and Bank of America.The Tea Party gave the

conservative elements of themiddle class a voice. TheOccupy Wall Street protes-tors, many of them young,idealistic and unemployed,simply want a shot atbecoming part of the mid-dle class.Sheri and Allan Rivlin, co-

editors ofCenteredPolitics.com, mayhave put it best. They wrote:“As long as housing fore-

closures outnumber newpermits and new businesshiring is not dramaticallyhigher than new applica-tions for unemploymentbenefits, the suggestion thatthe capitalist system is nolonger working for themajority of Americans andthe political system is cor-rupted by campaign moneywill find fertile ground and aready audience.”Perhaps organized protest

is the best way to getCongress’ attention.

Loris Music and Literary Club hold meeting Oct. 24The Loris Music and

Literary Club met Oct. 24 inthe Community Room at theLoris Library. President JoyJordan called the meeting toorder and led in the readingof “The Collect.” She wel-comed a guest, ReneeStrickland, to the meeting.Jordan asked that mem-

bers come to the specialmeeting on Nov. 19 whenthe members will gather at10 a.m. to decorate theChristmas trees at City Hall.More ornaments are neededand she asked members tobring any additional dona-tions then. The regularNovember meeting will beMonday Nov. 28. Peggy Keefer, a Music and

Literary Club member, intro-duced her son, Sean Keefer,the speaker for the evening.Sean presented a very inter-esting program. Sean grewup in Loris, graduated fromLoris High School and hasan undergraduate degree inJournalism and a Master’sDegree in MassCommunication from theUniversity of South Carolina.He also graduated fromCampbell University LawSchool. He and his wife,Wendy, are attorneys andwork together in the Keeferand Keefer Law Firm inCharleston.He has recently written

and published a novel, “The

Trust” and spoke to thegroup about the variousexperiences writing andpublishing have given him.He shared how the idea forthe topic was developed andthe steps from idea to pub-lished work progressed. Hesaid that many people wereinvolved with the book alongthe way, including those whoread early drafts and madesuggestions for editing. Hesaid that a co-worker, who isa paralegal and a formerbook editor, suggested thathe submit his book for pub-lication so he obtained abook agent. After havingthree book agents, the bookwas sent to a publisher.“The Trust” is about a

lawyer named Noah Parkswho has a general law prac-tice in Charleston. Parksloves dogs, and his home-town is Loris; all similaritiesto the author. But, Keefersaid, “The Trust” is not auto-biographical, and that hasbeen a difficult distinctionfor some readers, who knowhim well, to make. It waspart of the fun in writing thebook, too, he said, and towrite about things he knewand expand it into fiction. Keefer said he has been

invited to speak to bookclubs and other literarygroups and told of howenjoyable that continues tobe for him. He said it was

both exciting and humblingto meet people at book sign-ings who are buying andreading his book. He statedthat his Mom encouragedhim to be creative with writ-ing and with music. He rec-ognized Sarah Scott, a clubmember, who was his child-hood piano teacher. Todayplaying the guitar and pho-tography are his hobbies. He

The value of Godly menGod’s Word in Proverbs

31 describes in vividdetail the priceless

value of a virtuous, God-fearing woman. Not onlydoes it mention her valuebeing “far more than rubiesor diamonds,” but goes tolist the characteristics ofthe type of woman Goddescribes as being “trulyHis.”

But what of men, theones who God says are tobe the spiritual leaders ofthe home?

The Word offers many“secrets” about what deter-mines a Godly man, ourresponsibilities, and ourvalue.

Psalm 112 opens with thewords, “Blessed be the manwho fears the Lord.”

The word ‘blessed’ ofcourse, means happy.Happy, then is the man thatfears the Lord. Another waywe might state this is“Blessed, or happy, is theman who is Godly.” A godlyman will always fear andrespect God.

In verse 3, David says therighteousness of the godlyman shall endure forever.When all of time is over, thewicked will be forever for-gotten, but the righteousman will be forever remem-bered.

In verse 4, David says,

the godlyman isgracious,full ofcompas-sion andrighteous.

In verse6, Davidalludes tothe ideathat therighteousman willnever bemoved –his right-eousnessshall

endure to all generations.In verse 6, again David reit-erates that the godly manshall endure forever.

The words of Psalm111:8 are now beingapplied in Psalm 112 to thegodly man. God Himself isreflected in the character ofthe godly man. In otherwords, the character of thegodly man reflects the verycharacter of God. Thesupreme example, ofcourse, is the Lord JesusChrist.

These verses also offerGod’s promises to us asgodly men. Read the wholeof Psalm 112 below to seeHis promises for the Godlyman:

“1 Praise the Lord! How

happy is the man who hon-ors the Lord with fear andfinds joy in His Law! 2. Hischildren will be powerful inthe land. Each family whois right will be happy. 3.Riches and well-being arein his house. And his right-standing with God will lastforever. 4 .Light rises evenin darkness for the one whois right. He is kind and hasloving-pity and does whatis right. 5. Good will cometo the man who is ready togive much, and fair in whathe does. 6. He will never beshaken. The man who isright and good will beremembered forever. 7. Hewill not be afraid of badnews. His heart is strongbecause he trusts in theLord. 8. His heart will notbe shaken. He will not beafraid and will watch thoselose who fight against him.9. He has given much to thepoor. His right-standingwith God lasts forever. Hishorn will be lifted high inhonor. 10. The sinful manwill see it and be troubledand angry. He will grind histeeth and waste away. Thedesire of the sinful willcome to nothing.”

My friends, we all knowthat we only have fears andfail to have confidencewhen our heart is not fixedon God. No matter what

happens to us in this life,we will have confidence ifour heart is fixed on God.

You see, our children, ourcharacter, our conduct, ourconfidence and our charityare all affected by our

decision to be, or not tobe, godly.

Obviously being godly isnot automatic. It takeswork. It requires effort. Itrequires us to dig deep intoGod’s Word to see what Godsays, and then to actaccordingly. Not only that,but it takes courage. Beinga godly man in this day andtime, or at any age, requirestremendous courage. But itis a step that is in the rightdirection, and it is a stepthat will have eternal reper-cussions.

Do you have the courageto be that man who seesthe value of preparing forthe eternal lives of yourentire household and evenbeyond?

It is our calling as men,as godly men, to take backour homes, our workplaces,and our governments andbe the men God designedus to be. In Him we havethe tools and the power touse them.

Are you ready to be thespiritual leader in yourhome? It is the true value ofa man.

BY KEN LEEFOR THE LORIS SCENE

The month of October brings on a lot of sports activi-ties: the weather is cool and people become more active.Football, basketball, soccer, and many other sports takeplace around the globe.

But there aren’t any sports in the Bible, other than peo-ple rising up to play around a golden calf and Samsonsporting with the lords of the Phillistines.

Both activities ended in disaster, with 3,000 golden calfworshippers dying and Samson pulling the pillars outfrom a stadium.

As the month cools in this humid part of South Carolinaand activities increase, let us put God first before anyother activity.

He commands us to not have any other gods beforeHim (Exodus 20:3). We are not to bow down nor worshipfalse gods who cannot think, see, nor hear. (Exodus 20:5;Daniel 5:23)

God will bless us for worshipping Him as the true God.

What’s all the ‘To Do’ about IsraelBY LARRY DEEDS

It’s almost impossible to pick up a newspaper or watch anews program and not hear a mention of the nation ofIsrael. What’s the big “to do” about?

Israel would seem to be an almost insignificant Asian(Middle Eastern) nation. Its population is only about 7.5million people (about 80 percent Jewish). Israel covers onlyabout 263 square miles (about the size of New Jersey andabout one-fourth the size of South Carolina). It is only 263miles north to south and the width varies from nine to 71miles.

Why is Israel deemed so important by so many people?To answer that we must go back in the Bible to the OldTestament. Not long after creation, God noticed somethingabout a man named Abraham…a man living in what wouldbe called a “pagan” culture. But God called Abraham out ofthat land and because of his obedience and faith, Godpromised to make him the father of a great nation, a nationthrough which “All the other nations of the earth would beblessed” (Genesis 12:3)

He also spelled out the boundaries of the land He wasgiving them and told them to conquer the land and takeevery inch that their feet would touch. Because of apathyon their part, and maybe a lack of faith, Israel has neveroccupied all of that “promised territory.”

Life has been tough for the nation of Israel, nestled in andsurrounded by nations whose goal is their destruction. ButGod is still working and will continue to keep His covenantwith His “chosen” people.

But the prophets see a brighter day, too, a day whenGod’s covenant is completed, when Israel occupies all of itsgiven territory, when Israel is at peace, when the Messiah,Jesus Christ, sits on His rightful throne, ruling fromJerusalem. And all the world will know, for the first timesince sin entered in the garden of Eden, true righteousness,justice, peace, prosperity and love.

I can live with the decision if the grand jurycan. “Apparently, the entire matter would have died a naturaldeath if someone hadn’t intervened.” The attorney generalwill monitor the events that follow and obtain additionalinformation. “The people of Horry County can rest assuredthat this very serious matter has not been laid to rest.”

Lions open preseasonagainst TimberlandBY BRANDY GRAHAMFOR THE LORIS SCENE

The Loris Lions will openpost season play this Fridaynight at Heniford Field whenthey host the TimberlandHigh School Wolves. The Lions finished the reg-

ular season with a 9-1 record.Their only loss came in week10 to number one rankedDillon. Loris defeated St. James,

North Myrtle Beach, SouthColumbus, Green Sea Floyds,and Hannah Pamplico inpre-region match-ups. They opened conference

play on the road at Marionwith a win. The streak con-tinued for two more weekswith wins over Waccamawand Mullins. The Lions traveled to

Dillon for the next to the lastgame of the season to suffertheir first and only loss. Inthe final week, they defeatedAynor at home. Coach Jamie Snider said

that one thing that pleasedhim about the season, otherthan the nine wins, was thefact that most of these winscame on the road. The Lionshad only four home gamesthis season and only oneconference match-up. The Lions shut-out four

teams this season: NorthMyrtle Beach, HannahPamplico, Mullins, andAynor. Loris outscored their

opponents 238-110, averag-ing 23.8 points a game. The Lions will be tested

this week. Coach Snider saidthat any team you face from

this point on in the play-offswill be good and Timberlandis no exception.The Wolves are known as

good football and have beenranked at the top of AA allseason. Timberland did fin-ish second in their regionafter an unexpected loss toBishop England. “On offense they run the

option. They have big line-men and good speed,” saidSnider. The coach went on tosay that the key will be tostop the option. The Wolves are not a blitz-

ing team but they do have agood solid defense accordingto Snider. The winner of Friday

night’s match-up will playthe winner of theHanahan/Lake City game inthe third round.

The Loris FirstPresbyterian Church fin-ished its 2011 soccer seasonSaturday.

This year was no differentthan in the past, a success.There were a few obstacleswith weather this year, butnothing deterred the manyvolunteers from having agreat program for the kids.

Chris Carter and his wifeLisa have been invaluableto the program over the lastfew years, but they neverforget all the help theyreceive from parents,church members and otherdedicated volunteers.

There was an abundanceof warm hearts amid thecold weather Saturday

morning for the last gamesof the season. There werelots of jackets, coats andblankets to ward off thewind but nothing warms aperson like seeing a largegroup of children andteenagers having a goodtime with each other in asafe and humble manner. Itdidn’t matter what playerscored, there were cheersfrom everyone. If a playermissed a goal, cries of“good try” came from allaround. It was a fine exam-ple of what Upward is allabout, trying hard, goodsportsmanship and broth-erly love. All of these areawesome to see in our chil-dren today.

During all of the prac-tices and during halftime,short devotionals were

taught. The subject of theselessons was as diverse asthe kid’s personalities, butall were well received.

All any parent or adultcan hope for is what isplanted in the minds andhearts of these young ath-letes will help them growinto upstanding adults andthat one day they might dothe same for someone else.

Loris First PresbyterianChurch also hosts a flagfootball season through theUpward program, which iscoming up in January.Anyone who is interested inhelping in any capacity, feelfree to contact Trey Josephsat 756-7464. Look forannouncements in yourchildren’s so you want missan opportunity to be a partof such a wonderful event.

Upward soccer season a success

Coach Ricky Dew and his son Jackson show that cold weather is no match for fun. Ricky isone of the many volunteers that help make Upward a success each year.
