Having An Attitude of Gratitude By: Liz Simon, Staff Writer
It is one week before Thanksgiving. I want to write about Gratitude, but as I have been drafting my thoughts, the words will not come together. Grief and loss became real this year for many of us. There were too many funerals of former students, co-workers, family and friends. Where are you, God? Why is our world changing so? Too many questions! I must keep the faith! I must stay positive! I keep searching and missing the mark! Where is the fellowship we shared before the isolation of COVID? Who are you under that mask? Why are the grocery store shelves so empty? I need to find my French-fried onion rings to make my green bean casserole for Thanksgiving. What is this about supply chains and gas prices? I want Thanksgiving to be normal, but it is not going to be. It is called “the new normal”! I do not want this column to be discouraging. I understand anxiety is real because it is in our nature that we do not want to disappoint others. We want to put a smile on the faces of others. We need to encourage one another. It is time to celebrate our All-American holiday…. Thanksgiving! What are we thankful for in this season of our lives? After all, I am not about to enter the fourth quarter of my life without asking myself what is there left to do? Should I coast now or try to complete my bucket list? Is that selfish? I need to remind myself of all the selfless acts of others. I need to be thankful. The English teacher in me wants to include a definition of ‘gratitude’ or include a quote in depth about gratitude in this Thanksgiving column. When I was in American Lit class back in the bygone days of high school, we had to
memorize lines by the different poets such as Ralph Waldo Emerson. “Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you and give thanks continuously. You should include all things in your gratitude.” My classmates and I adored our favorite high school English teacher Mrs. Jewel Tindall except when it came to memorizing a lot of lines and writing many essays. She is one that I have had to say goodbye to this year. At her service, however, I felt comfort in knowing that she knew in her heart how much she was appreciated by my classmates and me. I had taken my own advice during the time of COVID to write her a thank you note and convey how much she meant to me. I wrote in my note how much those long-ago lines I had memorized came back to me. I also wrote to my Sunday school teacher Mrs. Judith Watkins and thanked her for encouraging me to memorize certain Bible scriptures. I said goodbye to her too. Imagine someday… someone who's facing a difficult decision, feeling lonely, isolated, and coming across this article on Gratitude that I wrote in the year 2021 and suddenly remembering how much they had been loved. I have loved and appreciated my family, my friends, and my students and you, our readers. What a difference you all have made in my life. What a purpose this column writing has given me, Cate Lynch Goff. My gratitude to you all! Years ago, I was given my great-great grandmother's journals. She started writing in these journals when she was a young lady in the 1890’s. She wrote until the time that her eyesight blurred the pages in the 1960’s. When I first read her journals, I looked for the date when she wrote about my birth. Then a few journals and years later, she wrote about the tea parties we had and the scrapbooks we had made. She wrote about the gratitude she felt for God giving her the time to live such a fulfilling life. When I read her words and prayers for others and saw her faith through life’s crisis one after the other, I realized that I had that same will and drive to be an overcomer too! For that I have gratitude! Happy Thanksgiving!

From the Chief 's Desk
It appears we have and will continue to have individuals that think it’s okay to scam and defraud innocent people. There will always be those that steal your identity and scam you through the internet. But we are having a rise in local face-toface scams. Some are using counterfeit money. This counterfeit money looks very real and may even fool the wisest. These scammers usually make deals through Craig’s List or Facebook Marketplace, arrange for you to meet to sell or buy items, and then use counterfeit money. We ask that if you are meeting a stranger for any type transactions to include child custody exchanges, please meet in the parking lot of Elgin Town Hall. We have installed video cameras that record video and audio 24 hours a day. We are also installing signs that state the same to let the public know about these services. Please be safe and vigilant when dealing with strangers. Thank you.

Elgin PD Incident Reports
Vehicle Pursuit: Officer was sitting in front of the Circle K in the Town Limits of Elgin when a white in color Mercedes passed me with no tag. I got behind the vehicle and the vehicle was all over the road appearing to be a possible intoxicated driver. The vehicle attempted to turn on Surrey Lane and so did I. The vehicle then got back onto Main Street and I activated my blue lights. At this time the vehicle accelerated and I activated my siren, notified dispatch that I was pursuing the vehicle, and to notify RCSO and Chief Anders. I pursued the vehicle into Richland County and the vehicle turned around on US 1 and then turned down North Brickyard. The vehicle then went right onto another road where I lost sight of the vehicle for a brief second then saw a large hole in a residential fence. Thinking that the suspect had wrecked, I got out with the hole in the fence and the vehicle did not wreck. RCSO arrived shortly after and circled the area for the suspect and I cleared the scene. Fraud/Confidence Game/Breach of Trust: On 11/8/2021 Officer was dispatched to Elgin Town Hall in reference to a walk in. Upon my arrival I met with Victim who stated that she just sold a Iphone XR to a subject in the Food Lion parking lot. Victim stated that when she received the money from the subject and the money did not feel right so she took the three $100
bills to the First Citizens Bank across the street and confirmed the money was fake. Victim stated she only spoke to the Subject on Facebook under the name "Bee Johnson". Victim could not tell what Subject was driving and could only tell me she was a B/F wearing a mask. Victim stated the transaction took place not far from the Mid-Carolina ATM in Food Lion's parking lot. I then went to First Citizens and retrieved the $300.00, consisting of three $100 bills and placed them into evidence. I went to Food Lion and put in a request video footage from the cameras that face the ATM on 11/8/2021 between 10:50am -11:30am. I also went to Mid-Carolina to request video from the ATM camera. This is an on going investigation. Littering: On the above listed date and time Officer was flagged down by a local resident concerning trash. Officer observed a brown Marshall's bag with multiple discarded trash items. One of the items therein was a printed receipt from the Auto Zone of Elgin with the name of Subject as the individual whom purchased items, therefore identifying him as the owner of the bag of trash. Officer seized the receipt and discarded the remainder of the trash. Officer will attempt to further identify Subject and issue a citation for littering. Investigation pending.

Fats, Oils and Grease Clog Pipes
After preparing and enjoying a nice holiday meal, you’re most likely dreading the cleanup in the kitchen. It might be tempting to just pour the leftover grease and cooking oil down the kitchen sink but, please do not do it. If you dump your leftover fats, oils and grease (also referred to as FOG) down the drain, chances are that you will pay for it sooner or later. Even if you run hot water down your sink to flush it through your pipes, FOG sticks to the inside of sewer pipes, both on your property and along the street. Through time, the FOG can build up and block an entire pipe. This results in sewer blockages and overflows that can damage homes, threaten the environment, and cause health hazards. FOG blockages can back up raw sewage into your home, your neighbor’s home, a neighborhood park, the street, or contaminate the closest stream. The same problem can occur with septic systems. Because the sewer system is unable to handle or treat these substances effectively, this causes greater expenditures on the maintenance of the collection systems and/or treatment plants which in turn can lead to higher sewer rates for customers. Sewer backups can also cost customers thousands of dollars for the repair or replacement of their damaged properties or septic system. Disposal Tips for Your Home: The easiest way to solve the problem of blockages is to keep FOG out of the drains in the first place. Here are some disposal tips: • Small amounts of fats, oils or grease: soak up with paper towels and throw them in the trash. • Cup to a pint of fats, oils or grease: pour into a container, seal with a lid and dispose in the trash. One option is to freeze the container and continue using until it is full before disposing in the trash. • Moderate amounts (pint to a gallon) of fats, oils or grease: use cat litter or shredded newspaper to absorb and solidify the FOG. Put the cat litter in a double-lined plastic bag and pour the grease into the bag. • Larger amounts of cooking oil (more than 1 gallon such as from frying a turkey, fried chicken or French fries): Kershaw County Convenience Centers collect used cooking oil which is upcycled to biodiesel by Green Energy Biofuel. Look for the used cooking oil bins at the convenience centers to properly dispose of your used cooking oil. If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, feel free to contact the Kershaw County Stormwater-Engineering Department (803-425-7230).

2021 United Way Chili Cook-off
The United Way of Kershaw County held our 10th annual chili cook-off on October 30, 2021, and what a day it was!

Coming in first place for people’s choice was The Cantey Man Can from Cantey Foundation, second was Mayor Alfred Mae Drakeford and her team, third was Debbie Massalon and her team from Mental Health America of Kershaw County. Coming in first place for overall winner was Conch Republic, second place was The Cantey Man Can of Cantey Foundation, and third place was David Snodgrass teams. All proceeds from the Chili Cook-Off go to benefit our Mobile Nutrition Center. The Mobile Nutrition Center distributes food boxes to over 10 sites throughout the county and does a food distribution every Friday. In 2020, the MNC distributed over 200,000 pounds of food in the county. Kirk Mays, VP of Resource Development, stated “Thank you again, to everyone who helped make our 10th annual chili cook-off a great day, but remember the real winners of the Chili CookOff are those in Kershaw County that our Mobile Nutrition Center will provide meals to.” A special thank you again to our sponsors, the City of Camden, Graham Realty, Cantey Foundation, Lugoff Automotive Group, MUSC Health Kershaw Medical Center, First Palmetto, Baxley, Pratt, and Wells, Chris Pracht Auctioneers, Sports Connection, Canal Wood, Camden Bone & Joint, DSV, Synovous, Books on Broad, Julian Burns, and Haile Street Grill for helping us make this day a success for Kershaw County.

Kershaw County Sheriff ’s Office
Changing of Chief Deputies
Chief Deputy Steve Knafelc had an outstanding career with your KCSO. Steve was an easy choice for my second in command after I was elected sheriff. He has never let me down and I have never regretted my decision. He gave the citizens of Kershaw County 25 years of dedicated service. Steve started as a patrol deputy and worked his way up to chief deputy (highest non-elected rank at the KCSO). We wish him the best of luck in his future position as Special Agent in Charge at the SC Department of Revenue. Chief Deputy Tyrrell “Rock” Coleman will be my new second in com-
Sheriff Lee Boan mand. I have worked with Rock longer than any other person at the KCSO. He has a bachelor degree and is a graduate from the FBI Command College. Chief Deputy Coleman knows how I want things done and I trust he has the ability to run the KCSO in my absence. Kershaw County lost a great chief deputy when Steve Knafelc left. However, we are all still in great hands with Chief Deputy Coleman. Both of these men are blessings to our great county.
Pictured above, at left: Outgoing Chief Deputy Steve Knafelc and family, and at right: Incoming Chief Deputy Tyrrell "Rock" Coleman with Sheriff Lee Boan.
