Loris Elementary School’sfourth graders are ready to“talk trash” and teach thecommunity about theimportance of recycling.

For the seventh year in arow, LES students are readyto take on the challengeagainst other Horry Countyschools to see which schoolcan collect the most recy-clable materials in the 11thyear of the Horry CountySolid Waste Authority’s“Talkin’ Trash” program.

Kendra Hucks, recyclingcoordinator for the SWA,visited the school Sept. 9 forthe program’s kickoff, alongwith Bruce Refuse, the pro-gram’s entertaining mascot.

Hucks explained the pro-gram through a short filmand power-point presenta-tion, and fielded good ques-tions from a large group ofLES fourth graders.

“The students get reallyexcited about the program,and Loris Elementary hasalways been a leader and agreat example of how therecycling program is impor-tant in our communities,”said Hucks.

LES has won variousawards over the years, andlast year won several newcomputers and was a leadereach month of the year’sefforts.

Susan Graham of LES hasbeen the school’s programleader for the past fouryears and has already begun

plans to make LES a recy-cle-friendly drop-off school.

“We have set up differentrecycle points throughoutthe school where the stu-dents can easily drop-offOctober’s recyclables, whichis newspapers, on their wayto class after breakfastwhich makes it easy forthem, and gives everyone achance to take part and rec-ognize the drop-off points,”said Graham.

Graham urges the com-munity to get involved byshowing support for the stu-dent’s efforts, dropping offrecyclables or by contactingthe school about how tohelp.

Each month a differentrecyclable is collected bythe students at school. Theschool that recycles themost items that monthwins. The contest is open toany public school in HorryCounty with fourth gradeclasses.

Each participating schoolreceives an eight-yarddumpster to collect theirrecyclables. Each school isjudged based on the num-ber of pounds collected perfourth grade student permonth.

From Oct. 1-20, newspa-pers and magazines arebeing collected, followed bythis rotating schedule:

Nov. 1-17, plastic bottlesand jugs; Dec. 1-15, alu-minum and tin cans; Jan. 1-19, newspapers and maga- Bruce Refuse, the Talkin’ Trash program mascot, got the Loris Elementary School fourth

Last year the programaccounted for 210,540pounds or 105.27 tons oftrash received to be recycledinto useful items instead ofcrowding the area’s locallandfill.

Hucks said the landfillreceives anywhere from 300to 400 trash trucks daily atthe landfill as opposed toonly 40 recycling trucks aday.

“Our goal is to have thatfigure reversed, where wehave more recycle trucksthan trash trucks enteringour landfill,” said Hucks.

Keeping family in mind,Bailey employed his son-in-law, Troy Sims, a registeredpharmacist who marriedhis daughter Ann. TheBailey’s also had a son,Singleton, as well.

Doug Bailey continuedproviding service until thelate 1980s, when he passedownership to his children,Ann Bailey Simms, andSingleton Bailey. It was aduel ownership businessuntil Singleton bought outhis sister in 1985.

Since 1985, Loris DrugStore has become a fullservice pharmacy and pro-vides a wide variety of over-the-counter remedies. Ithas also added an excellentassortment of cards, spe-cialty items, gifts and col-lectibles. Bailey used hisexperience in sales andmarketing to transform theLoris Drug Store into a notonly a progressive drugstore with a full servicepharmacy but also addedan excellent assortment ofcards, specialty items, giftsand collectibles.

In was in 2011 that thethird generation of Baileysbegan to oversee the opera-tions of the family business,as Singleton’s son, Milesaccepted his role as hisfather set out to retire.

Since that time, theyoungest Bailey has beenbusy making his mark on thecentury old business. Baileycan be seen often sweeping

the street in front of thebusiness and has set aboutmaking several changes inthe retail layout of the busi-ness.

So the Loris Drug Store willcontinue on offering goodsand services to the Loris area,thanks to family, our people,just as it has since 1910.

BY DICK TINSLEY

As the new CEO of LorisHealthcare System – whichincludes Loris CommunityHospital, Seacoast MedicalCenter and Loris ExtendedCare – I am extremely enthu-siastic and optimistic aboutthe future of these health-care providers.Both Loris and Seacoast

have an extraordinarily pro-fessional and caring team ofstaff and physicians. I amproud to work with all ofthem. It is obvious to me:they put patients first. Ourmission continues to be vitalto North Myrtle Beach, Lorisand surrounding communi-ties and is centered onexceptional patient experi-ences and quality medicaloutcomes. Our employeesare at the very heart of theseservices. One of the long-time

strengths of Loris andSeacoast is a growing part-nership with McLeod Healthin Florence for more than adecade. Over the years,McLeod has generouslyshared its expertise withLoris and Seacoast, giving usaccess to state-of-the-artequipment and technology,and even training our physi-cians and staff members inthe pursuit of medical excel-lence through quality initia-tives.For example, nine years

ago, McLeod participated in

a grant from the RobertWood Johnson Foundationto improve health care. Aspart of this work, McLeodincluded Loris in the effortto improve care for patientswith Acute MyocardialInfarctions, commonlyknown as heart attacks. Lorisand Seacoast patients whohave suffered heart attacksreceive excellent care, ingreat part, as a result of ourpartnership with McLeod.There is also a history

between our organizationswith joint efforts in TraumaCare as well as OrthopedicServices. Additionally,McLeod works with Loris toprovide perinatal (high riskpregnancy) education, con-sultation, maternal andneonatal transport. Currently, McLeod and

Loris Healthcare System areworking on a joint ventureto improve cancer servicesfor the people of NorthMyrtle Beach by obtaining alinear accelerator, to pro-vide radiation cancer treat-ment for residents who donot want to travel far fromhome.This relationship with

McLeod will also provideopportunities to supportoperational expenses, assistwith the recruitment ofadditional medical staff andprovide support to areas

that will benefit from sharedresources between our twoorganizations. And our partnership has

been strengthened recentlyby a management agree-ment between Loris,Seacoast and McLeod.Under this new agree-

ment, McLeod will helpLoris and Seacoast expandand enhance our cardiology,orthopedic, oncology, and

general surgery services.That means even betterhealthcare services for thepatients we serve.And, of course, we all ben-

efit by partnering with aleader. McLeod Health is thefirst South Carolina hospitalever to receive the presti-gious American HospitalAssociation McKesson Questfor Quality Award for excel-lence in patient care.Dick Tinsley is the newly

appointed CEO of the LorisHealthcare System.

Legal dealers of death and addiction?Move over cocaine

and meth, andmake way for yet

another legal over-the-counter way to destroy ayoung person’s life and thosewho love them: bath salts.Now who’s to blame for

this? The stores who know ofthe dangers but sell themanyway? The Federal gov-ernment and its Food andDrug Administration? Or is itthose brilliant chemists, andthe companies that profitfrom the sales, knowing fullwell that combinations ofchemical compounds, whennot used for its intendedpurpose, can and will causeadverse reactions?I even cringe at the

thought of writing aboutthis, as I feel I may give aperson a new idea abouthow to get high. I hope not. Ihope to issue this as a warn-ing to parents, students, andaddicts that this stuff will killyou, and in several cases,cause irreparable braindamage or sudden death. Addiction to bath salts is a

growing problem. Theeffects of bath salts usedinappropriately despite their

warninglabels -whensmoked ortakenorally, isthe sameas cocaineor meth.Theeffects ofthe bathsalt pow-ders are aspowerfulas abusingmetham-pheta-mine.

Law enforcement agentsand poison control centerssay the advertised bath saltabuse is becoming a bigproblem in several U.S.states, and there is talkabout a ban.Emergency calls are

reporting overexposure tothe stimulants the powdersoften contain, which areephedrine and methylene-dioxypyrovalerone, alsoknown as MDPV.Sold under such names as

Ivory Wave, Bliss, WhiteLightning and Hurricane

Charlie, the chemicals cancause hallucinations, para-noia, rapid heart rates andsuicidal thoughts, authori-ties say. The chemicals are in

products sold legally at con-venience stores and on theInternet as bath salts, andeven plant foods. However, they aren’t nec-

essarily being used for thepurposes on the label. Dr.Jeffrey Huttman, ChiefClinical Officer atChallenges TreatmentCenter, had this to say in onthe abuse of bath salts:“The use of bath salts is

incredibly dangerous.Individuals who use thissubstance are desperate fora quick high that is easilyaccessible and may not yetbe detectable by standarddrug test protocols.Synthetic drugs such as thisare in experimental phasesand have not been tested forhuman consumption.Therefore, the short andpossible long-term effectsare unknown and couldcause a myriad of potentialproblems; some of whichcould turn out to be irre-

versible. This is very similarto a synthetic form of mari-juana called Spice, which wehave seen at alarming ratesof use in Florida.” “Spice has led to a signifi-

cant increase in ER visitsover the last year, and I sus-pect we will see bath saltswill have the same effect ifnot worse. We have alreadybegun to treat patients foraddictions who report theuse of bath salts and the ter-rible reactions they had tousing them.”Bath salts are hard to bat-

tle because they are legal,and like Four Loko, bathsalts are sold in conveniencestores at a very cheap price.The rise in its dangers

have struck close to homehere in Horry County,according to a grassrootsorganization that’s begun itspush to get bath saltsbanned from Horry County. The group known as

“Horry County Against BathSalts” formed on Facebooklast week. On Tuesday,organizers voiced their con-cerns to the Horry CountyCouncil about the legal syn-thetic drug.

Beth Barnhill helped cre-ate “Horry County AgainstBath Salts” Facebook page.She said she’s witnessed thesynthetic drug ruin lives.Check it out.All these efforts will take

time, valuable time whilemany lives could be affectedor even worse lost by ourcommunity and our kids notbeing warned of its inherentdangers.Those places of business

who offer these “bath salts”in the small doses knowexactly what they are sellingthem for. Those who alsooffer the “smoke shops”under the guise of regulartobacco use know exactlywhat group they are target-ing.The only way we can

invoke change is to boycottthose places that takeadvantage of those who suf-fer from substance abuse, allfor the sake of making a dol-lar. Popular? Maybe not, but

that’s how I feel about it all. They are all legal dealers

of death and addiction.Someone has to take astand!

School board doesn’t live in my worldThe Horry County

Board of Educationrecently went on a

spending splurge thatmakes me shake my head indisbelief.Someone has lost touch

with reality.In my world, businesses

are closing their doors indroves because of harsheconomic times.In the blissful world of

public education, HorryCounty has millions of extradollars to spend.In my world, businesses

are laying off employees,imposing involuntary fur-loughs and even cuttingsalaries.In the rarified air of the

board of education, thingslook much better. Not onlydid the board give out raises,it funded pay increases froma previous year.In my world, new hires

must wait until the econo-my improves.In that other reality, the

board of education hired 40new “reading intervention-

ists.”In my

world,businessesare cuttingback ontravel,makingemployeesmoreaccount-able forexpensesand usingtechnolo-gy to avoidmeetingso much.In biz-

zarroworld, the

board of education decidedkeeping up with expenseswas too aggravating. Theygave themselves a $350stipend for travel.So, whose reality rings

truest?Those who cope with try-

ing to run a business mightwonder, as I do, what’s goingthrough the board of educa-tion’s thought process.

Please don’t take this criti-cism to mean I don’t sup-port public education. I’mactually proud of the HorryCounty School District andthe cadre of dedicatedteachers who help distin-guish it as one of the leadingschool districts in the state.Furthermore, I agree

teachers deserve a pay raise.But when the nation is

poised for a second reces-sion, the time for frugalitymust extend to school dis-tricts as well as governmentand the private sector.Does the board of educa-

tion understand just howdire the situation hasbecome?Perhaps board members

should take a ride throughConway, Aynor, CarolinaForest and the beach com-munities and take note ofthe hundreds of emptystorefronts.Or, perhaps they should

visit the state unemploy-ment office near Conway onany given work day and seefor themselves how many

people are looking forwork—any kind of work.Perhaps the board should

attend the next BusinessCabinet meeting held by theschool district and ask howmany in attendance are rais-ing their employees’ salaries.Most businesses would

love to give their employeesa nice raise. Many wouldlike to hire more help. Buteconomic reality dictatesotherwise.Businesses, out of neces-

sity, are tightening theirbelts.“Shared sacrifice” has

become a buzzword oftoday’s times. We’re all inthis economic mess togeth-er. We have to work out of ittogether.The Horry County Board

of Education sends thewrong message when itgives out big raises and hiresnew teaching specialists.If the board of education

has so much money tospend, why not give it backto the taxpayers? They coulduse a break, too.

Why somemen preferdogs to wives

My sister forwarded thisto me in an e-mail Nov. 7,2009.I saved it because it

made me laugh out loud.But I didn’t share itbecause I wasn’t sure itwouldn’t offend someone.

(Trustme, youshouldread mymail.)I

recentlyread itagain,andlaughedout loudagain.This

time Idecidedif it

offends someone, theyneed to read it again also.

Why Some MenHave Dogs andNot Wives:

The later you are, themore excited your dog isto see you.Dogs don’t notice if you

call them by another dog’sname.Dogs like it if you leave

a lot of things on the floor.A dog’s parents never

visit.Dogs agree, you have to

raise your voice to getyour point across.You never have to wait

for dogs, they’re ready togo 24/7.Dogs find you amusing

when you’re drunk. Dogs like to go hunting

and fishing.A dog will not wake you

up in the middle of thenight and ask, “If I died,would you get anotherdog?”If a dog has babies, you

can put an ad in thepaper and give themaway.A dog will let you put a

studded collar on it with-out calling you a pervert.Lock your dog and your

wife in the garage andafter a couple hours, seewho’s glad to see you.If a dog smells another

dog on you, she doesn’tget mad. She just thinksit’s interesting.Dogs like to ride in the

back of a pickup truck.And lastly, if a dog

leaves, it won’t take halfyour stuff.If you didn’t laugh, you

definitely need a puppy.Or a wife. Or both.

To the editor,Recently after church on Sunday, I went to Golden Run

for lunch.While there, I went to the ladies restroom and slipped

and fell because of water on the floor.The waitress came to me, saw the water on the floor, and

asked if I needed an ambulance, but at the time, I didn’tthink I needed one.I told the owner what had happened and he laughed.After leaving the restaurant, I began to hurt and went to

the emergency room. The fall had caused me to pull somemuscles.I went back to the restaurant to let the owner know that I

had to go to the emergency room and about the outcomeand he became very angry. He told me I had to prove that Ihad been hurt in his restaurant.I want to warn anyone that goes there to eat to be extra

careful when visiting the ladies restroom because it is dan-gerous.

BY THELMA C. TODDFOR THE LORIS SCENE

Do you have any ideawhat a big God we serve?

I heard someone say theysaw something on a com-puter that went somethinglike this: “Only God canturn a mess into a message,a test into a testimony, atrial into a triumph, a victiminto a victory.

God is good all the time.How much better can yousay it? He can move amountain, no matter howbig it is. He says we can too!

Mark 11:22-25 NLT:“Then Jesus said to the dis-ciples, “Have faith in God! Iassure you that you say tothis mountain, ‘May God liftyou and throw you into the

sea and your command willbe obeyed.’ All that isrequired is that you reallybelieve and do not doubt inyour heart. Listen to me!You can pray for anythingand if you believe, you willhave it. But when you arepraying, first forgive anyoneyou are holding a grudge

against so your Father inheaven will forgive your sinstoo.”

He not only takes care ofus but He can forgive us ofour sins through JesusChrist’s blood He shed onCalvary.

Yes, God is good all thetime.



Having no fear of failure as believers in Jesus ChristHave you ever failed at

anything? Of courseyou have. But didn’t

you learn a valuable lessonfrom it?

We all have a fear of fail-ing at times, but Proverbs24:16 assures us as believersthat we never need to beafraid of failure.

“For a righteous man fallsseven times, and rises again,�But the wicked stumble intime of calamity.”

In The Message transla-tion, the verses 15-16 sharedit this way:

“Don’t interfere with goodpeople’s lives; don’t try to getthe best of them. No matterhow many times you tripthem up, God-loyal peopledon’t stay down long; Soonthey’re up on theirfeet, while the wicked endup flat on their faces.”

In order for anyone or anyventure in life to be success-ful, risks must be taken. It isthe fear of failure that cancause us as believers to losesight of the goals God hasplanned for us. It is that fear,and only fear, that keeps usfrom trying, over and overagain, to seek God’s will for

our lives. Failure is

not anevent, it isan option.In all thatwe do, beit our fam-ily life, ourprayer life,ourcareers,failuresmay oftencome, butit we whohave theoption to‘rise up’ or

stay down and defeated.The best analogy I know

to share with you, being theold ball coach I am, is aboutthe game of baseball whichhas more in common withour spiritual lives than youknow.

The greatest hitters of alltime, whose names are inthe record books and toutedby sports announcers every-where, fail to hit the baseballan average of seven out of 10times at bat. But whatmakes them successful isknowing that each at bat

gives another opportunity toimprove on that average.

Many an Olympic athletehas trained a lifetime for anevent, and never made it tothe podium for an award.Yet they return to training,and four years later, they tryit again, just for the chanceto be the best in the world.

Win or lose, they neverquit.

Another positive aspect ofmoving on through our fail-ures, is that they can directus into another areas in ourlives. Areas where we actual-ly discover the gifts of thespirit God has filled us with,to direct our lives toward Hisplan for us.

Failure is defined byWebster’s Dictionary in sev-eral ways: An omission ofoccurrence or performance;a failing to perform a duty orexpected action; lack of suc-cess and falling short.

We know that in the eyesof God we are not consid-ered failures. In fact, 1 John1: 9 clearly states,

“If we confess our sins, Heis faithful and just to forgiveour sins and cleanse us fromall unrighteousness.” Our

relationship with God allowsus to be transformed fromfailures to successes as longas we admit, confront, andconfess to God our disobe-dience, or ways in which we“miss the mark.“

If we chose not to followthis principle of overcomingfailure, then we play by theworldly rules.

When we as Christiansfail, and focus on ourselvesas failures, we become pre-occupied with our failures tothe point that we begin orcontinue to believe that weare failures.

This preoccupation rein-forces itself and the personcontinues to feed his self-esteem with negative self-talk and a lack of self-confi-dence. Preoccupation withthe fear of failure can distortour perspective and keep usfocusing on the fear, versustrying to be over-comers.

Overcoming failure is aconscious decision. Those ofus who make mistakes andmiss the mark need to seekthe Lord’s forgiveness, for-give ourselves, put the mis-take in perspective, andmove on with life rather

than feeding it with fear. Each of us comes to our

own “Jordan River” experi-ences sooner or later, andhas to, with faith, face thefear of what lies ahead, orwe too can wander in thewilderness for years. We canchoose to brood over ourfailures or meditate on thehope we have in Christ.

I once heard the defini-tion of crazy was “findingwhat doesn’t work any moreand continuing to do it.”Christians live because Godprovided a “new way” inChrist. The children of Israelcontinued to fail when theyslipped away from God and“exchanged the creature forthe creator.”

We are new creatures inChrist, and in all ways mustput God first (Matt. 6:32-34).With this perspective, werealize that failures can beaspects of success. Inessence, all things do worktogether for good (Romans8: 28-30). With this perspec-tive we will hopefully realizethat failures can containaspects of success. Inessence, we can learn fromthem and become wiser.

Overcoming the fear offailure is a conscious, dailydecision to keep focused onthe goal. If someone is sin-cerely afraid that they willmake a mistake, they willseek to be as prepared aspossible. They focus on thelong view or goal versus theshortsighted circumstances.As Benjamin Disraeli oncesaid, “All my successes havebeen built on my failures.”

In the midst of life’s fail-ures, we can be successful inour thoughts, emotions andbehaviors by confidently fol-lowing new rules and seek-ing to “hit the mark.” So nomatter what the failure,there is power in proper per-spective and perseverancewith a focus on ourstrengths, spiritualresources, and long-termgoals.

Remember these wordsthis week as we think of ourgoal in life to serve othersand seek to reach others forChrist:

“It is better to fail in acause that will ultimatelysucceed, than to succeed ina cause that will ultimatelyfail.’

The winning streak con-tinued for the Loris Lionslast week when the teamtraveled to Green SeaFloyds for the fourth gameof the season. The Lions left Green Sea

Floyds with a decisive 52-14win and a 4-0 record. Thewin was important but italso marked a milestone forthe program. No Loris team has been

undefeated after four gamessince 1999 when the teamdefeated North MyrtleBeach, South Columbus,Myrtle Beach, and GreenSea Floyds before losing to

Mullins in game five. Theprogram has had many upsand downs in the lastdecade but seems to bemaking a turn around aftera winning season last yearand a great start this season.The Trojans received the

opening kick Friday night.The Lion defense quicklyshut them down after threeplays. Loris’ offense stumbled

slightly on its first drive. Afumble was recovered byGreen Sea Floyds and theTrojans took over on theirown 36-yard line. Again theLoris defense was brutaland the Lions regained theball after only three Trojanplays.

Quarterback KentrezHilton and his offense wereready for their next chanceat the end zone. Hilton andMarkiese Jackson movedthe ball down the field forLoris and DL Griffin scoredon a three-yard run. OrlinMejia’s kick was good andthe Lions led 7-0. The Trojans fumbled their

next drive but the Lionswere unable to capitalizeand were forced to punt. The tables turned for the

next two possessions. Lorisfumbled their drive butGreen Sea Floyds soonhanded the ball back to theLions. The Loris offense was

ready to add to their score

before the half. MarkieseJackson had 46 yards rush-ing before he found the endzone. Mejia’s kick again splitthe up rights and the scorewas 14-0. The Trojans scored on a

40-yard run and had a suc-cessful two point conver-sion, closing the gap in thescore. The Lions took over on

their own 35-yard line. Afew short runs by AustinThigen and Ryan Bellamywere followed by a success-ful pass from Hilton to TroisBennett for 43 yards. TheLions were again in scoringposition. Bellamy scored ona one-yard run and theextra point was good. The

Lions led 21-8 at the half. Loris opened the third

quarter with a drive thatlasted nearly seven min-utes. The Lions did not findthe goal but Mejia was suc-cessful with a 25-yard fieldgoal, giving the lions threepoints. The Trojans fumbled their

attempt and Loris pickedup the ball and soon foundthe end zone. Ryan Bellamyhad a 23-yard run. The Lions fumbled late in

the third quarter and theTrojans returned the ball 44yards for the score. Loris scored on its next

three attempts. First on aone-yard run from DLGriffin, next on a 12-yard

run from Hilton, and late ingame Shammond Jacksonscored on a seven-yard run.Mejia’s attempts were suc-cessful on all three scores. The Loris defense held

the Trojans scoreless in thefourth quarter. Hilton and Bellamy each

had more than 100 yardsrushing for Loris, followedby Jackson who had 73yards. Hilton was 2-2 passing

with a 19-yard completionto DL Griffin and a 43-yardcompletion to TroisBennett. The Lions have an off

week this Friday and willtravel to Hannah Pampliconext Friday night.

Nick Maury and a host of Lions take down a Green Sea Floyds running back last Friday night. The defense held theTrojans to only one offensive touchdown in the win.

Ryan Bellamy was a leading rusher for the Lions last Fridaynight when then the Loris offense scored seven touchdownsand had nearly 500 yards in total offense.
