Mary and Joseph strolled the city streets of Loris last Friday night to greet all those who came into town for the final Friday night of the “Christmas on Main” event. There was dancing in the streets, music around town, fun for the children and of course, Santa Claus visited WLSC to hear a number of Christmas wishes for local children, and even a few adults, too. Greg and Morina Martin of Loris gave an accurate portrayal of the parents of Jesus and spend the evening walking around the crowd and taking photos near the manger scene on Railroad Avenue. “My wife I wanted to do something special to remind people of the true reason for Christmas,” said Greg Martin, stylist at Railroad and Main Salon and also worship leader at Higher Vision Church in Loris. “We were in the middle of a Christmas play at church and came up with the idea to dress as Mary and Joseph for the promotion.” Arts Alive, a group of tal-

A recipe is only as good as the right mixture of ingredients, and sometimes one special “secret ingredient” can make all the difference. For William and Lori Jacobs, those words mean a mixture of faith and family with a chance to provide great food, desserts, and catering to the customers at Loris’ latest diner and bakery, Wil-Lo’s Secret Ingredient. The family-owned and operated business opened Monday, Dec. 12 and offers an extensive menu, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner six days a week. In addition to their dine-in or take-out menu, the business offers a full service bakery and catering services to their customers. It didn’t take William Jacobs long once he had the idea to open the restaurant, before the doors actually opened. “I passed by the place several times back in July of this year and thought

back to the times of growing up, going to the Dairy Maid and the stories told to me by my mom, Phyllis, of going on dates there, and just felt the urges of the Holy Spirit to reopen the landmark that has such a rich history in Loris.” said Jacobs. “After contacting Mr. Young and reaching an agreement, we starting working on the place just about four weeks ago, and after some long hours painting, deep cleaning and updating a few things, we are ready for business.” Jacobs made it sound easy, but the truth is he spent several 20-hour days and none less than 16 hours to get the business up and running. Jacobs even missed out on the family Thanksgiving trip to Pittsburgh, Pa., working by himself to be ready for the Dec. 12 opening day. The business is definitely a family-run operation as his wife Lori, sons, Jeffery Chadwick and 14 year-old Gabriel Jacobs, and their

The staff of Green SeaFloyd’s Middle School didn’t have a hard time putting two and two together when it came to naming GSFMS math teacher Shannon Page as their 2011-12 Teacher of the Year. The 28-year veteran teacher, in her fourth year at GSFMS, teaches math in grades six through eighth and is no stranger to being recognized for her abilities as an educator. Along with this year’s accolade, Page was named Teacher of the Year at Palmetto Middle School in Mullins in 1997, and honored as the Teacher of the Year for all of Dillon County District One in 2008. The recognition came as no surprise to many of her fellow teachers at GSFMS.

“Shannon is just a wonderful teacher who always encourages her students to do their best,” said Frieda Varela. “She works hard to see that all her students’ needs, academic and otherwise, are met. She is always willing to give of her time for her students. She searches for other tools and methods to help her students when all else seems not to be working.” Page, however, held a different view, filled with praises of her fellow teachers and staff at GSFMS. “I am humbled that my peers felt I was worthy of such an honor,” said Page. “It is the greatest compliLACY HARDEE / THE LORIS SCENE ment to be chosen by such outstanding educators.” Shannon Page, recently named GSFMS Teaqcher of the Year, interacts with her students Page, a graduate of during a math exercise last week. Page is a 28-year veteran in her fourth year at Green TEACHER, A5 Sea-Floyds Middle School.
