An overwhelming 85 percent of voters passed the Nov. 1 referendum for healthcare services that enables Loris Community Hospital and Seacoast Medical Center to expand its partnership with McLeod Regional Medical Center.

This partnership allows both Loris and Seacoast to offer even better healthcare services to these communities.

“This partnership with McLeod Regional Medical Center ensures the best healthcare we can provide for our citizens,” said Ed Prince, Citizens for Better Healthcare Services co-chair and North Myrtle Beach resident.

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

SwampFest still successful after 25 years

BY BRADLEY BLANTON FOR THE LORIS SCENE

Who would have ever thought that an old swamp would have been good for anything but mosquitoes?

The same people who knew that it would be just as important today as it was a quarter of a century ago.

SwampFest is an annual festival to give the public access to the natural and cultural history of our area.

It is free for anyone wanting to attend and offers many great stories from yesteryear.

For anyone that has never been around the “Horry County Black Water

Swamps” there is much to learn.

Throughout the day you can see different historical displays, learn about the habitat and enjoy some good music.

Events and activities included candle making, bobbing for apples, and a view of an authentic log

cabin and much more.

The Clemson Extension service offered a view of many different types of insects and the inside of a working honey-bee hive.

If that wasn’t enough, you could take a hayride into the forest and see SWAMPFEST, A2

The spirit of friendly competition. The combined smells of gunpowder and burning oak from the well-placed fire barrels on a cool night. Men and boys, fathers and sons, and even women and girls, mothers and daughters, milling about.

All are warmly dressed, waiting to take their shot at the target some 60 feet away.

This time of year is turkey shooting time. Not live turkeys, but you can win a frozen one. From now until the New Year, a number of these familyoriented fundraiser events will take place in several places in the Loris area.

All the shoots provide a safe environment, shotgun shells for 12, 20 and 410 gauge, and most provide food and drink for all entrants and spectators.

One of the first turkey shoots of the season began last Friday night, Nov. 4 at Crossway Church on Hwy. 701 near Allsbrook.

Pastor Tommy Shelley and his church are using this year’s holiday shoots to hopefully replenish their food pantry. The Crossway food pantry distributes food to families who come to the church every third TURKEY, A3

Seven local teachers of the year named

BY LACY HARDEE FOR THE LORIS SCENE

Seven area teachers, standing out among their peers, have been named teacher of the year at their schools.

Each of these teachers will now vie for the title of the Horry County Schools’ Teacher of the Year, a title currently held by Kraig McBroom, choral music teacher at Carolina Forest High School.

Each school winner will complete an application which includes teacher biographies, their philosophy of teaching, advocacy and evaluation of teaching techniques.

Applications are reviewed by a committee of educators, administrators and community representatives.

Ten semifinalists will be notified Feb. 6, 2012. The semifinalists will be inter-

Referendum: Voters make merging possible FROM A1

LACY HARDEE / THE LORIS SCENE

Poll workers at the East Loris precinct had a steady flow of voters for the Nov. 1 Healthcare Services Referendum. Local voters Tuck Rion and Jewel Tyler (left to right) were just a couple of local voters who came out in support of the local referendum.

our area.”

The Citizens for Better Healthcare Services gathered at the Loris Chamber of Commerce Tuesday evening after the polls closed at 7 p.m. to await the results of the referendum vote. Co-chairs of the committee were joined by the steering committee, committee members, area supporters, Loris and Seacoast employees, and McLeod representatives.

“The community really stepped up, voting in favor of this referendum,” said John Boyd, Citizens for Better Healthcare Services co-chair and Loris resident.

“The future of these hospitals and the physical wellbeing of our citizens will be greatly enhanced with this partnership with McLeod.”

According to a press release sent out by Loris Healthcare Systems, the McLeod Health and Loris Healthcare System were extremely pleased with the vote of confidence and outpouring of support from the community regarding the

Healthcare Services Referendum on Tuesday, Nov. 1.

“I am very pleased with the outcome of tonight’s vote. I want to thank the citizens who came out to vote and I would also like to thank the members and volunteers of Citizens for Better Healthcare for all of their time and efforts, “said Dr. Tracy Ray, board chairman for Loris Healthcare System.

“The voters have sent us a clear message of how our board should proceed. So with this vote we will move forward to finalize an agreement with McLeod Health to provide quality healthcare services for our community.”

McLeod Health and Loris Healthcare System share a not-for-profit mission and focus on providing the best possible healthcare services to patients.

Loris has had an almost 15-year relationship with McLeod Health. These hospitals share the same philosophy of quality patient care and are inspired by beloved local physicians. By partnering with McLeod,

patients will gain access to even more physicians and specialists, as well as leading-edge medical technology. McLeod will also provide staff development, training, and introduce quality and award winning programs and initiatives. McLeod won the American Hospital Association McKesson Quest for Quality Award and is the first hospital in South Carolina to receive this distinction and recognition for excellence in patient care.

With the passing of the referendum Tuesday, the goal is to provide better healthcare services as soon as reasonably possible. Both organizations and their staffs will benefit from being stronger together and with greater resources for greater growth opportunities.

The decision to partner with McLeod was made with the best interest of patients as the priority.

This partnership provides more choices for families and residents. Ensuring quality healthcare and choices for patients will only continue to strengthen patient care in the area.

Kayaking the swamp gives you a close-up and personal look at the true beauty it beholds.

On display inside the main building, there are many types of animals local to the area. The mounted animals give teachers and parents a safe way to show younger ones what different animals look like. Deer and bobcats seem to be the favorite of most.

By the end of the day, one should have a pretty good understanding of the importance of such an area and a hand full of crafts that can be made by all the children in attendance.

The event is hosted by Horry County School System with the help of other donors. This year they included the Horry County Conservation Foundation, CCU and Blackwater Celebrations.

Cub Scout Pack 822 enjoys outings

BY BRADLEY BLANTON FOR THE LORIS SCENE

It has often been said that an idle mind breeds mischief and mayhem. This isn’t possible for the members of Cub Scout Pack 822 from Mt. Vernon. For the past couple of weeks the Cub Scouts have been really busy with a variety of outings and activities.

The weekend before Halloween many of the cubs attended the first annual Loop-O-Ree, which was held at the KOA Campground in Myrtle Beach. The campout was the first for some of the youngsters and for some of the adults as well.

The festivities began on Friday with packs from all over the Chicora District checking in and setting up their campsites. After tents were up and the food was ready, cubs from different packs could be seen greeting old friends and making new ones.

The opening ceremony began the busy Saturday with the cubs looking forward to earning multiple belt-loops.

Training was provided to the young scouts so they may earn belt-loops in the following topics: music, art, map and compass, fishing, citizenship, marbles, hiking, and video gaming. Yes, video gaming has made its way into cub scouting.

As a parent, I wondered how can you earn an award

for video gaming. I soon learned it wasn’t what I thought it would be. The video gaming award is earned by the scouts learning the rating system and what rating is appropriate for their age, what to do if someone wants you to play one that you shouldn’t and when is the right time to play games. That was the hardest to get across to the youngsters who think it’s always the right time to play video games. However, it is stressed that only after all homework is complete, chores are done and your parents say it is okay, then you can play.

On top of all the loops the cubs earned, they also earned a US Heritage Award that comes with a medal.

After a busy day of learning and fun, the cubs enjoyed the campfire food and proceeded to enjoy the night further by participating in the Campfire Program.

The Campfire Program is designed to be a time when the cubs and leaders reflect on the day’s activities, have a little fun, and further instill the core values of scouting.

The campfire ended with a poem about “Old Glory” recited by one of the staffers and the retirement of an American Flag that had flown over an extended care facility for more than 15 years.

The weekend ended on Sunday morning after a Scouts’ Own Service. The

Scouts’ Own Service is an inspirational, informal ceremony held as part of scouting activities. A Scouts’ Own service is usually short, often lasting no longer than 15 minutes. They are made up of a mixture of readings, prayers, reflections and music. Many Scouts’ Owns are based on a particular theme such as friendship, using resources wisely, or fairness. This might be connected to a certain event or occasion. A Scouts’ Own is not a replacement for an individual’s own worship according to their faith.

This past Saturday wasn’t any different as many of the Cub Scouts attended the Annual SwampFest at Playcard Environmental Center.

Scouts learned about many things including that in 1939 Maytag manufactured a washing machine that not only washed your JAMIE NORMAN / FOR THE LORIS SCENE clothes but made butter and ice cream and could even be Members of Pack 822 have enjoy their busy schedule and take a moment to pose for a picused as a sausage grinder. ture during their “outhouse” break.

The scouts enjoyed hayrides and candle making.

They saw things like tee-pees and a reproduction Chippewa Kitchen. Many made crafts as souvenirs before returning home after a long day of hiking and learning.

There are many things that may keep young minds busy, but Cub Scouts is a guarantee to be both fun and educational for kids and adults alike.

“We are really dependent upon our fundraisers this year to stock our pantry, as even the Lowcountry Food Bank, who normally helps supply tons of food, is running short,” said Shelley.

Crossway will be holding more weekend turkey shoots on Nov. 11-12 and 18-19 with plans to hold more in December.

“We invite everyone to come out and join the fun and fellowship and help feed families in need in our community,” said Shelley.

The Loris Fire Department will also be hosting a turkey shoot this month at its temporary home just east of Loris on Hwy. 9 Business. The event begins Nov. 16 and runs through Nov. 23 with shoots beginning promptly at 6 p.m.

“Our main goal is to help raise funds for some much needed equipment for our new station,” said Loris fire chief Jerry Hardee. “Our annual budget will be used to take care of the mandatory items in order to get our new station operational.

The more we raise for needed equipment, the less will have to come out of our budget.”

Hardee said the department is trying to purchase a breathable air compressor which will save the city and the department a consider-

able amount of money in the long run. The department also hopes to hold another fundraising turkey shoot in December, if this one goes well.

The Goretown Volunteer Fire Station of the Horry County Fire and Rescue will begin its annual turkey shoot fundraiser with weekend dates for the remainder of November. The scheduled dates are Nov. 11-12, 18-19, and 22-23 beginning at 6 p.m. at the Goretown station at 365 Liberty Church Road, just off Hwy.

9 Bus. East. Cost per shot will only be $3 with lots of refreshments available and children are welcome.

One of the longest running turkey shoots in the area, sponsored the Daisy Woodmen of the World lodge, will also be this month beginning Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. on the corner of Daisy Road and Hwy. 66, just south of Daisy crossroads. The popular shoot will run the weekends of Nov. 18-19 and 22-23.

The group also plans a December shoot as well.

Tim Tebow in good company, I say B

eing a professional quarterback is tough enough on any given day, especially for a number one pick fresh out of college. There are at least 11 lean, mean, and extremely fast, full-grown men who are only seeking to do you bodily harm.

On the other side of the ball, the young quarterback has to trust that his own crew of linemen can protect him from those out to tear him limb from limb. In addition, he also must have mastered a playbook that would put the size of a New York City telephone book to shame, and studied more defensive alignments than seen in all our major wars put together. Tough enough for the average Joe QB.

But the NFL’s Tim Tebow is far from average.

He is a young man with a strong convicA WRITER’S tion of faith in BLOCK Jesus Christ. It is a faith that he Lacy Hardee has held onto all through his college successes, his failures, and the many attacks on his character and moral standards.

The professional ranks, one would hope, should be

filled with true professionals, but Tebow is finding otherwise. He is finding immature mocking of his ritual of prayer in certain game situations and less than intelligent remarks by mainstream media.

Granted, Tebow is having a less than stellar year on the gridiron, but why the attacks on his faith and the mocking of his desire to bend his knees and pray to the God who blessed not only him, but every player on every field in the NFL? But this young man will no doubt take it all in stride. After all, he knows he’s in some pretty good company who were mocked for their faith.

Peter was crucified, upside down at his request,

as he felt unworthy to die the 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 his body was nothing but pieces.

Andrew, Phillip and a host of others were also crucified.

I think Tebow can take all the ridicule and trash talking about how his efforts thus far have been less than stellar on the field. Heck, he is probably more upset about how things are going than anyone else. His efforts on the field of play are fair game for ridicule as

it is with any athlete on the big stage. He knows this.

Attack his ability all you want, but don’t mock the man’s faith or his beliefs.

Imagine what would be going on right now if it were a radical Muslim quarterback being mocked and teased for his faith.

The NFL would not stand for it. The government would probably step in.

The offending players and sportswriters would no doubt be fired.

All I can say is this: “I’m with you, Tim Tebow. I am on your team. Keep the faith, continue your example to those around you and remember that you are part of the greatest winning team of all. You are in good company.”

Occupy, Tea Party not far apart Online rendezvous reveals real lowlife I W don’t understand all of the reasons behind the Occupy Wall Street movement. Does anyone?

Even the protestors?

Yet, I think I understand the frustration with government that sparked the protest movement. In an odd sort of way, the grassroots movement came from a source very similar to the Tea Party uprising that changed the face of Congress last year.

Whether you are part of the 99% or a Tea Party loyalist, there is a a shared concern that it’s time for our government to work on behalf of the people, not just the powerful.

Like the Occupy folks and the Tea Party followers, I’m concerned that too much power has been given to the federal government.

Furthermore, I share the fear that too much money is under control of an elite few.

The perils of having so much money, power and influence controlled by a few people puts the nation at great risk. During the economic crisis of 2008 the federal government spent more than a trillion dollars propping up banks, brokerage houses, insurance companies and automobile companies. The public was told that these institutions were too important to allow to

fail. Frightened by the prospect of another Great Depression, most Americans bought the EDITOR’S government’s NOTE argument hook, line and sinker.

Steve In retrospect, Robertson many people now wonder about the wisdom of the government bailouts. They wonder how it has come to pass that in America certain companies are too big to fail. Such a concept is foreign to my idea of the free enterprise system.

Bigger isn’t always better.

This isn’t the first time the United States has had to deal with financial giants and monoplies. Shortly after the Civil War, so-called Robber Barons created monopolies that controlled railroads, oil and banking. Like today, an inordinate amount of money and power was concentrated into the hands of relatively few people. It took an act of Congress, the Sherman Act, to break of the monopolies. It took the

Great Depression and World War II to restore financial balance in the United States.

I’m of the opinion that the true strength of our nation resides in its large middle class. Increasingly, however, it’s the middle class that’s getting squeezed by a government that cannot control spending and policies that have encouraged the growth of megabanks like Wells Fargo and Bank of America.

The Tea Party gave the conservative elements of the middle class a voice. The Occupy Wall Street protestors, many of them young, idealistic and unemployed, simply want a shot at becoming part of the middle class.

Sheri and Allan Rivlin, coeditors of CenteredPolitics.com, may have put it best. They wrote: “As long as housing foreclosures outnumber new permits and new business hiring is not dramatically higher than new applications for unemployment benefits, the suggestion that the capitalist system is no longer working for the majority of Americans and the political system is corrupted by campaign money will find fertile ground and a ready audience.”

Perhaps organized protest is the best way to get Congress’ attention.

e have to give credit where credit is due.

A 24-year-old loser in Colorado Springs came up with an amazing excuse when his girlfriend found him with another woman.

Apparently the COLUMN B slob met a woman on line Ettie and of Newlands course, his unsuspecting girlfriend knew nothing about it.

He invited the online girl over to “get acquainted” and she accepted his hospitality.

They were getting to know each other at about 3 a.m. one otherwise normal Wednesday morning when his real girlfriend showed up unexpectedly.

So did the pond scum fess up?

Did he even act the gentleman and apologize,

using the old “I’m sorry, and it’ll never happen again and let’s get married” line?

Nope.

The lowlife called the police.

He actually reported the on line woman, saying she was an intruder who was there to burglarize his home.

When the real situation was revealed, this bum was merely cited with a misdemeanor because he made a false report to the police.

We don’t know if the on line woman sued him for having her arrested.

We don’t know if the girlfriend dumped him.

I personally would never have to resort to such measures.

If my husband came home and found me in a compromising position with another man, he would immediately assume the man was administering CPR. My husband knows good and well I wouldn’t even let my doctor see this out of shape body.

But the Colorado Springs creep should definitely get credit for quick thinking.

Loris Music and Literary Club hold meeting Oct. 24 The Loris Music and Literary Club met Oct. 24 in the Community Room at the Loris Library. President Joy Jordan called the meeting to order and led in the reading of “The Collect.” She welcomed a guest, Renee Strickland, to the meeting.

Jordan asked that members come to the special meeting on Nov. 19 when the members will gather at 10 a.m. to decorate the Christmas trees at City Hall.

More ornaments are needed and she asked members to bring any additional donations then. The regular November meeting will be Monday Nov. 28.

Peggy Keefer, a Music and Literary Club member, introduced her son, Sean Keefer, the speaker for the evening.

Sean presented a very interesting program. Sean grew up in Loris, graduated from Loris High School and has an undergraduate degree in Journalism and a Master’s Degree in Mass Communication from the University of South Carolina.

He also graduated from Campbell University Law School. He and his wife, Wendy, are attorneys and work together in the Keefer and Keefer Law Firm in Charleston.

He has recently written and published a novel, “The

Trust” and spoke to the group about the various experiences writing and publishing have given him.

He shared how the idea for the topic was developed and the steps from idea to published work progressed. He said that many people were involved with the book along the way, including those who read early drafts and made suggestions for editing. He said that a co-worker, who is a paralegal and a former book editor, suggested that he submit his book for publication so he obtained a book agent. After having three book agents, the book was sent to a publisher.

“The Trust” is about a lawyer named Noah Parks who has a general law practice in Charleston. Parks loves dogs, and his hometown is Loris; all similarities to the author. But, Keefer said, “The Trust” is not autobiographical, and that has been a difficult distinction for some readers, who know him well, to make. It was part of the fun in writing the book, too, he said, and to write about things he knew and expand it into fiction.

Keefer said he has been invited to speak to book clubs and other literary groups and told of how enjoyable that continues to be for him. He said it was

He stated that his Mom encouraged him to be creative with writing and with music. He recognized Sarah Scott, a club member, who was his childhood piano teacher. Today playing the guitar and photography are his hobbies. He

enjoys playing his guitar with groups around Charleston.

He took questions from the group regarding the book and his experiences writing it.

He is working on his second book and hopes to have it published sometime next year. He doesn’t have a name for that book yet, but says it

will have aspects of a serial because he will continue to develop some of the characters readers met in “The Trust.”

After the program, delicious refreshments were served.

Hostesses were Hazel Teal, Joy Jordan, Elba Palomares, Mary Jane Sarvis and Sarah Scott.

Members of local high school FFA chapters took to the fields to examine soil types and possible uses for the land as they competed in the Pee Dee Soils FFA Career Development Event on November 3, 2011.

For this event, teams of up to four students worked together to vie for the title of Region Champion. The teams worked to identify good land management.

Instruction in the area of soils affects every aspect of agriculture, homeowners and conservation. The practices taught are designed to be carried on as our students enter the world of work and become good consumers and stewards of our land.

Congratulations go to the members of the Loris High

School FFA Soils team as they took first place in the regional contest. Team members included Kolin Causey, Cullen Stalvey, Carly Marchese, Johnathan Hughes, Bryson Daniels, Kayla Todd and Kelsey Todd.

Nate Bellamy, LHS Agricultural teacher is the team’s advisor. Kayla Todd of LHS took High Individual honors while Bryson Daniels placed third in the High Individual competition.

Bellamy relayed a special thank you to the Florence NRCS Resource Soil Scientists, Florence NRCS Office, and the Lee Co. NRCS Field Soil Scientists for their continued support of this event.

NOVEMBER 9, 2011

The value of Godly men G

od’s Word in Proverbs 31 describes in vivid detail the priceless value of a virtuous, Godfearing woman. Not only does it mention her value being “far more than rubies or diamonds,” but goes to list the characteristics of the type of woman God describes as being “truly His.” But what of men, the ones who God says are to be the spiritual leaders of the home?

The Word offers many “secrets” about what determines a Godly man, our responsibilities, and our value.

Psalm 112 opens with the words, “Blessed be the man who fears the Lord.”

The word ‘blessed’ of course, means happy.

Happy, then is the man that fears the Lord. Another way we might state this is “Blessed, or happy, is the man who is Godly.” A godly man will always fear and respect God. In verse 3, David says the righteousness of the godly man shall endure forever.

When all of time is over, the wicked will be forever forgotten, but the righteous man will be forever remembered.

In verse 4, David says,

the godly man is gracious, full of compassion and righteous.

In verse 6, David alludes to the idea LAYMAN’S that the righteous LINES man will never be moved – Lacy Hardee his righteousness shall endure to all generations.

In verse 6, again David reiterates that the godly man shall endure forever.

The words of Psalm 111:8 are now being applied in Psalm 112 to the godly man. God Himself is reflected in the character of the godly man. In other words, the character of the godly man reflects the very character of God. The supreme example, of course, is the Lord Jesus Christ.

These verses also offer God’s promises to us as godly men. Read the whole of Psalm 112 below to see His promises for the Godly man: “1 Praise the Lord! How

happy is the man who honors the Lord with fear and finds joy in His Law! 2. His children will be powerful in the land. Each family who is right will be happy. 3.

Riches and well-being are in his house. And his rightstanding with God will last forever. 4 .Light rises even in darkness for the one who is right. He is kind and has loving-pity and does what is right. 5. Good will come to the man who is ready to give much, and fair in what he does. 6. He will never be shaken. The man who is right and good will be remembered forever. 7. He will not be afraid of bad news. His heart is strong because he trusts in the Lord. 8. His heart will not be shaken. He will not be afraid and will watch those lose who fight against him.

9. He has given much to the poor. His right-standing with God lasts forever. His horn will be lifted high in honor. 10. The sinful man will see it and be troubled and angry. He will grind his teeth and waste away. The desire of the sinful will come to nothing.”

My friends, we all know that we only have fears and fail to have confidence when our heart is not fixed on God. No matter what

What’s all the ‘To Do’ about Israel happens to us in this life, we will have confidence if our heart is fixed on God. You see, our children, our character, our conduct, our confidence and our charity are all affected by our decision to be, or not to be, godly.

Obviously being godly is not automatic. It takes work. It requires effort. It requires us to dig deep into God’s Word to see what God says, and then to act accordingly. Not only that, but it takes courage. Being a godly man in this day and time, or at any age, requires tremendous courage. But it is a step that is in the right direction, and it is a step that will have eternal repercussions.

Do you have the courage to be that man who sees the value of preparing for the eternal lives of your entire household and even beyond?

It is our calling as men, as godly men, to take back our homes, our workplaces, and our governments and be the men God designed us to be. In Him we have the tools and the power to use them.

Are you ready to be the spiritual leader in your home? It is the true value of a man.

Sports and God

BY KEN LEE FOR THE LORIS SCENE

The month of October brings on a lot of sports activities: the weather is cool and people become more active.

Football, basketball, soccer, and many other sports take place around the globe.

But there aren’t any sports in the Bible, other than people rising up to play around a golden calf and Samson sporting with the lords of the Phillistines.

Both activities ended in disaster, with 3,000 golden calf worshippers dying and Samson pulling the pillars out from a stadium.

As the month cools in this humid part of South Carolina and activities increase, let us put God first before any other activity.

He commands us to not have any other gods before Him (Exodus 20:3). We are not to bow down nor worship false gods who cannot think, see, nor hear. (Exodus 20:5; Daniel 5:23) God will bless us for worshipping Him as the true God.

| CHURCH NEWS | Grace Walk Fellowship meets twice a month

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

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

Why is Israel deemed so important by so many people?

To answer that we must go back in the Bible to the Old Testament. Not long after creation, God noticed something about a man named Abraham…a man living in what would be called a “pagan” culture. But God called Abraham out of that land and because of his obedience and faith, God promised to make him the father of a great nation, a nation through which “All the other nations of the earth would be blessed” (Genesis 12:3) He also spelled out the boundaries of the land He was giving them and told them to conquer the land and take every inch that their feet would touch. Because of apathy on their part, and maybe a lack of faith, Israel has never occupied all of that “promised territory.”

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

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

Registration deadline is Thursday, Nov. 3. To register contact the Carolina Baptist Association at 756-0400 or at carbapta@sccoast.net.

In other business, the board’s search committee reported that after a thorough review of numerous

qualified candidates, Delan Stevens was recommended to fulfill the unexpired term of Ken Summerall. The board approved the recommendation, and Stevens will serve until the next HTC Board of Directors Election in 2012.

Nov. 8, 1961: Potter, Spivey Win Scouting’s Eagle Rank Two Loris boys, Johnny Potter and Donald Spivey, members of the Boy Scout Troop 843 of the First Baptist Church, were awarded the Eagle Scout rank in impressive candlelight ceremonies at the church Sunday night. Dr. Edward Proctor of Conway, chairman of the Advancement Committee in the Horry District, conducted the ceremonies and in true courtly fashion dubbed the boys Eagle Scouts with a touch of the sword on the shoulder. In the candlelight ceremony members of the troop lighted 12 candles representing the 12 Scout Laws and three representing the three portion of the Scout oath. The mother of each of the boys pinned the Eagle Scout award on her son. Then the sons, in turn, pinned miniature Eagle badges on their mothers, in recognition of the aid they had given the boys in obtaining Scouting’s highest rank.

Nov. 10, 1971: Powell & Leigh File For Seat On Council, Brewer Also Files Local political activity began recently as two candidates filed for a seat on the Town Council in the December 7 election. Charlie Powell, manager of radio station WLSC and Thomas Leigh, manager of Carolina Department Store were the first to file for an office in local government. Local residents will elect three councilmen and a mayor in the December election. Councilmen whose terms expire this year are C.G. Blackburn, C.V. Hardee, and Austin Graham, neither of the incumbents had filed for reelection as of press time this week.

Nov. 11, 1981: Grand Jury Brings No Charges The grand jury found insufficient evidence Thursday to warrant criminal prosecution in the elected blackmail scheme involving county Councilman Arthur Marlowe and Captain George O. “Buddy” Fowler, both of Loris. However, Sen. Ralph Ellis stated Monday that in my opinion the case was not closed. I can live with the decision if the grand jury can. “Apparently, the entire matter would have died a natural death if someone hadn’t intervened.” The attorney general will monitor the events that follow and obtain additional information. “The people of Horry County can rest assured that this very serious matter has not been laid to rest.”

Nov. 13, 1991: Loris Chamber of Commerce Fills December With Christmas Activities This year the Loris Chamber of Commerce has a full range of activities and festivities planned for the Christmas season.

The Chamber will kick off the Christmas season on Sunday, December 1, 1991 with the tree lighting. The tree will be decorated with all handmade ornaments. This year the Chamber has purchased new lights, and a new a star for the top of the tree. Area church choirs, and the Loris Middle School Chorus will be performing Christmas Carols during the tree lighting.

Santa will arrive on rail car, and will be passing out balloons and candy for the kids.

Lions open preseason against Timberland

BY BRANDY GRAHAM FOR THE LORIS SCENE

LACY HARDEE / THE LORIS SCENE

Football contest winner Donna Kearse, right, of Carolina Food Service presents the $25 cash prize to Dwayne Hudson as the winner in last week’s Loris Scene football pickems’ contest. Hudson won the contest outright as the only contestant to miss only one game out of the 10 possible choices.

The Loris Lions will open post season play this Friday night at Heniford Field when they host the Timberland High School Wolves.

The Lions finished the regular season with a 9-1 record.

Their only loss came in week 10 to number one ranked Dillon.

Loris defeated St. James, North Myrtle Beach, South Columbus, Green Sea Floyds, and Hannah Pamplico in pre-region match-ups.

They opened conference play on the road at Marion with a win. The streak continued for two more weeks with wins over Waccamaw and Mullins.

The Lions traveled to Dillon for the next to the last game of the season to suffer their first and only loss. In the final week, they defeated Aynor at home.

Coach Jamie Snider said that one thing that pleased him about the season, other than the nine wins, was the fact that most of these wins came on the road. The Lions had only four home games this season and only one conference match-up.

The Lions shut-out four teams this season: North Myrtle Beach, Hannah Pamplico, Mullins, and Aynor.

Loris outscored their opponents 238-110, averaging 23.8 points a game.

The Lions will be tested this week. Coach Snider said that any team you face from

Jamie Snider this point on in the play-offs will be good and Timberland is no exception.

The Wolves are known as good football and have been ranked at the top of AA all season. Timberland did finish second in their region after an unexpected loss to Bishop England.

“On offense they run the option. They have big linemen and good speed,” said Snider. The coach went on to say that the key will be to stop the option.

The Wolves are not a blitzing team but they do have a good solid defense according to Snider.

The winner of Friday night’s match-up will play the winner of the Hanahan/Lake City game in the third round.

Upward soccer season a success

BY BRADLEY BLANTON FOR THE LORIS SCENE

The Loris First Presbyterian Church finished its 2011 soccer season Saturday.

This year was no different than in the past, a success.

There were a few obstacles with weather this year, but nothing deterred the many volunteers from having a great program for the kids.

Chris Carter and his wife Lisa have been invaluable to the program over the last few years, but they never forget all the help they receive from parents, church members and other dedicated volunteers.

There was an abundance of warm hearts amid the cold weather Saturday

morning for the last games of the season. There were lots of jackets, coats and blankets to ward off the wind but nothing warms a person like seeing a large group of children and teenagers having a good time with each other in a safe and humble manner. It didn’t matter what player scored, there were cheers from everyone. If a player missed a goal, cries of “good try” came from all around. It was a fine example of what Upward is all about, trying hard, good sportsmanship and brotherly love. All of these are awesome to see in our children today.

During all of the practices and during halftime, short devotionals were

NOVEMBER 9, 2011

WWW.THELORISSCENE.COM

taught. The subject of these lessons was as diverse as the kid’s personalities, but all were well received.

All any parent or adult can hope for is what is planted in the minds and hearts of these young athletes will help them grow into upstanding adults and that one day they might do the same for someone else.

Loris First Presbyterian Church also hosts a flag football season through the Upward program, which is coming up in January.

Anyone who is interested in helping in any capacity, feel free to contact Trey Josephs at 756-7464. Look for announcements in your children’s so you want miss an opportunity to be a part of such a wonderful event.
