Police: 2 break into Pickens pawn shopBy Sandy Foster

PICKENS — Pickens po-lice say two young men broke through the front glass of a local pawn shop last Wednes-day.

According to the incident report, the surveillance cam-era at Foothills Pawn caught footage of the two trying to pry the door open several times, then jumping up and down on a bench in front of the store, and eventually breaking the glass to make entry.

A 14-year-old was taken in

to custody at the scene and charged with second-degree burglary.

The other man suffered in-juries from the broken glass and was transported to a local hospital for treatment, said Gail Few with the Pickens Police Department.

Officer Steve Thompson said he was traveling east on Main Street during a rou-tine patrol when he heard an alarm coming from one of the local businesses.

“I could not tell which building it was coming from,

so I came up Main and turned on to Court Street,” he said in the incident report.

“Thompson said he turned on to E. Cedar Rock, head-ing west when he saw a man lying on the ground bleeding from his right wrist,” the re-port states.

According to the report, the man told police that three men in a tan truck “jumped him” in front of the pawn shop and “threw him through the store window.”

Police called EMS because the man was losing a large

amount of blood, the report states.

He suffered a cut to his arm and buttocks,” Few said.

Along with camera foot-age, police also found an or-ange screw driver with blood on it at the scene, the report states.

The teen was taken to the Liberty Juvenile Facility, and a second-degree burglary warrant was sought for the injured man, according to the report.

As of press time, the case was still under investigation.

Designs for DHS stadium approvedBy Sandy Foster

CENTRAL — The school

board gave the fi nal nod Mon-day for the new Daniel High School football stadium.

The stadium, to be construct-ed on a 23-acre tract across the road from the school, will seat about 5,300 people once com-pleted and will have poured-concrete risers with aluminum seating on the home side of the fi eld.

The district also plans to dismantle visitor stands, ramps and landings from the current stadium for use in the new fa-cility, according to architect Donza Mattison.

She said the district would not see any real savings by us-ing steel or aluminum risers on the home side and that because of the steep grade on that side, they felt that concrete was the best option.

However, the contractor will also provide an alterna-tive price for purchasing and installing new visitors’ stands instead of re-using the existing ones, she said.

Spectators will access the stands from the top level, which descends about 35 feet down to the fi eld, Mattison said.

She also said the track would not be built around the fi eld at the new Daniel facility, instead going around the practice fi eld that will be located on the main

Airportterminal readyBy Jason Evans

LIBERTY — The county will hold a ribbon-cutting cer-emony for the Pickens County Airport’s new terminal build-ing 10:30 a.m. Friday, June 26.

The public is invited to at-tend the ceremony, which marks the completion of the $1 million dollar project.

The county will hold the ter-minal’s grand-opening 10 a.m. — 3 p.m. Saturday, June 27.

The 4,000 square foot new facility will include a passen-ger lounge, offi ce space for airport offi cials and a meeting room, airport offi cials said.

The current terminal facil-ity does not allow for a com-plete view of the runway, but the new facility will allow for a total view, with an enclosed observation and lookout area.

According to a survey by the state Division of Aeronau-tics, the Pickens County Air-port contributes more than $10 million to the local economy, directly or indirectly.

Last month, the county’s total airport improvement project hit a snag, as Federal

PICKENS – Pickens Cha-pel United Methodist Church across the road from Tony’s Restaurant will soon be torn down.

Assistant Chief Rodney Gregory said that the building was unsafe and falling in, so it needed to be torn down.

A date has not been set as of now because the city is wait-

ing on the county to give them the go-ahead, said Gregory.

“We will go through with tearing down the church,” said Gregory. “No one has come forth and opposed this deci-sion.”

Councilman Fletcher Perry said if the church wasn’t going to be restored, it would need to be torn down.

Nadine Anderson, a former member of the church said

the church closed its doors in the 80s due to a small number of remaining members. The church wasn’t able to carry on, she said.

The church bell and cor-nerstone were taken from the church by the owners of the property and will be placed at Robinson Chapel United Methodist Church in Liberty. Anderson said they wanted to keep the two items for the

memories. The owners are selling the

church property, so the church was going to have to be moved or torn down. The owners de-cided it was in such bad shape that it needed to be torn down.

Name for 2nd Liberty elementary still up in the airBy Sandy Foster

LIBERTY — It will be Au-gust before the school board makes a final decision on the name for the 2nd Liberty El-ementary School.

After hearing a recommen-dation made by a community committee, the board passed first reading to name the school Ruhamah Elementary in a 6-2 vote with trustees B.J. Skelton and Kevin Kay voting against it.

Skelton asked the reason-

ing behind the committee’s recommendation when the majority of input from the public suggested naming the school after Chastain Road, where it will be located.

John Callaham, who served on the committee, explained to the board that the area near the new school location had always been referred to as the Ruhamah community; that a school there prior to consolida-tion, went by that name and that a church in the area also shares the “Ruhamah” title.

Skelton pointed out that the name Ruhamah was only

suggested by one member of the public while Chastain or Chastain Road was suggest-ed 16 times.

Superintendent Henry Hunt said the school district asked for suggestions but the procedure followed was for the committee to choose a name to recommend to the board, which must name the school according to district policy.

Board Chairman Jim Shel-ton, who represents the Da-cusville area, voted in favor of the Ruhamah name but also said he shared Skelton’s concerns

He also said the exact at-

tendance area for the new school had not been estab-lished and asked if the name would be inclusive to all students or if the intent was to name it after the area the school will be located.

Skelton also pointed out that the new Liberty High School will be located on Ruhamah Road.

Oscar Thorsland, the Lib-erty representative, said it was his understanding that after a second meeting, most of those who suggested the name Chastain changed their minds.

Chastain Road Elementary was the third choice made by

the committee, and the sec-ond choice suggested was W.E. Woodson Jr. Elementa-ry, in memory of a long-time principal at Liberty Elemen-tary and respected member of the community.

The board will have plen-ty of time to listen to pub-lic concerns and comments about the proposed name since they will not hold a fi-nal vote until their next regu-lar meeting the last week in August.

“This is just preliminary acceptance of the commit-tee’s recommendation,” said Shirley Jones, at-large mem-ber.

Police taped off the scene at Foothills Pawn in Pickens.

Pickens Chapel United Methodist Church is showing signs of decay.

CLEMSON — ClemsonUniversity officials announced Thursday plans for dealingwith the school’s multi-mil-lion-dollar cut in state fund-ing, which includes a tuitionincreaseandpositioncuts.

University president JimBarker called the strategy “aresponsible, strategic planthatprotectsacademicqualityandminimizes impactonstu-dents.”

“Thisplanmanagesfundingreductions, protects qualityandincludesareasonableandaffordable tuition proposal,”hesaid.

“It is a plan that is respon-sible to the state, to familieswho trustuswith their futureand mostly to students whocome to Clemson with highexpectations,” Barker said.“Weneedtodeliver.”

The university is facing atotalfundinglossof$5.7mil-lion,andasaresultplantocut$30 million from the internal budget,includingtheelimina-tion of more than 450 positions andconsolidationofsomede-partments,Bakersaid.

Clemson to raise student tuition, cut more positions

The state budget for 2009-2010 cuts Clemson’s appro-priation by $40.7 million. EducationandGeneral(E&G)programs were cut by $26.8million and Public ServiceActivities (PSA) by $13.9 mil-lion. Another $5 million cutcame in private support fromtheClemsonUniversityFoun-dation.

Students will also have topaymoretoattendclasses.

Instatestudentswillfacea4.5 percent increase in tuition, and out-of-state student feeswillgoupby7.5percent.

The increase will offsetabout one third of the statefunding that was cut, accord-ing to university officials.“Clemson faces a loss of atleast $45 million in revenue next year,” said universityboardchairmanBillHendrix.

“We will cover two-thirdsof that — about $30 million — through aggressive andsometimes painful internalbudgetcutsandreallocations,”hesaid.

“Without this cost-cuttingandtheuseoffederalstimulusfunds,wewouldhaveneededatuitionincreaseof26percent

to cover the shortfall,” Hen-drixsaid.

He called the tuition in-creases“reasonable.”

University officials also plan touseaportionofitsstimulusmoney to help fund a long-planned renovation of LeeHall, a classroom and studiobuilding for the architectureandvisualartsprogramsthat’s51yearsold.

The tuition increase willadd up to $234 per semester for in-statestudentsand$878per semester for out-of-statestudents.

University officials also noted that about one third ofthepositionsbeingeliminatedwere vacant at the beginningof the fiscal year when they implementedahiringfreeze.

Many other positions aretemporary and contract posi-tions, or are filled by people whoplantoretire,theysaid.

“A budget cut of this mag-nitude could not be managedwithout losing positions,”Barkersaid.

Sen t i n e l Ed i t o r i a l It’s broke, now fix it It’s been over 15 years since

a serious examination of Healthcare reform was on

the agenda. At that time the Insurance

Industry and allies within the “healthcare complex” put on a full court press to defeat at-tempts at altering the current “health for profi t” system. This was accomplished through a combination of efforts, includ-ing extensive lobbying and fi nancial contribution to leg-islators. A propaganda cam-paign featuring ads profi ling a fi ctional couple, “Harry and Louise” was launched. It pro-vided a false description of the reforms which effectively dis-torted the issues. Those lead-ing the reform efforts were “demonized.”

These actions combined with assurances from the in-dustry that it would impose reform measures successfully derailed government actions. It was such a convincing

Healthcare reform is long overdue campaign that discussion of healthcare reforms has sat on a back burner ever since being deemed too controversial.

However it has provided ample opportunity for mea-suring the advantages of the industry’s programs. To para-phrase a question made fa-mous by the late President Ronald Reagan, With regards to healthcare are you better off today than you were 15 years ago? Most would answer with a resounding NO, as polling indicates a clear majority of Americans believe it’s time for an overhaul of the manner in which healthcare is provided in this country.

They realize that health-care costs are straining fam-ily budgets to the breaking point, they’ve experienced the fact that in the last eight years healthcare premiums have increased four times faster than wages. For a ma-jority, access to healthcare is dependent on the security of their employment, therefore a shift in working status has far reaching consequenses for the family’s medical wellbeing. They realize that a catastrophic medical situation could devour everything one has spent a life-time building. It’s estimated a healthcare related bankruptcy occurs in America every 30 seconds. Those having health coverage fi nd that increases in deductibles make it diffi -cult to use except in extreme situations. Instead of utilizing the cost saving advantages of preventive medical care most opt to wait until they have no other choice before accessing their coverage. Many fear hav-ing their insurance provider deny services, thus abandon-

ing them when their situation is most critical.

Along with the stresses placed on the family, our cur-rent healthcare system has a crippling effect on business. Out of control healthcare costs consume much of the profi t margin within American in-dustry. It undercuts the com-petitive ability of American business within the world eco-nomic community. The fi scal health of companies is directly connected to their ability to absorb rising healthcare cost. Small business in particular cannot retain quality employ-ees because they are unable to afford health benefi ts essential to working Americans. A re-cent report by the consulting fi rm Pricewaterhouse Coo-pers estimates business related healthcare expense will in-crease by 9% next year alone.

There are over 46 million Americans who are uninsured in this country. With the current economic climate that fi gure will continue to increase. It’s estimated that an additional 9 million Americans have fallen into the ranks of the uninsured over the last 8 years. The cost of emergency room care nec-essary for this group is being shouldered by everyone. Be-yond these economic justifi ca-tions for reform there lies the moral question. In the greatest nation on the planet, should basic healthcare be considered a privilege or a right available to all? The United States is the only industrial nation where elected leaders are guaran-teed excellent coverage at tax-payer expense while millions of their fellow citizens fi nd themselves without the most basic safety net. The majestic

words “the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” rings hollow when one faces a medical crisis without health-care security.

President Obama has issued a clear call for healthcare re-form. After years of waiting on the” healthcare for profi t com-plex” to initiate change, the American people elected him expecting the fulfi llment of this campaign committment.

In anticipation of Congres-sional action the President has outlined 3 basic principles that are the cornerstone of reform. They are 1) reduce cost, 2) guarantee choice, and 3) en-sure that all Americans have quality healthcare. Nothing less will constitute genuine re-form of our broken system.

The President has provided the leadership, but it remains to be seen if the political will is available to complete the task.

As Congress debates the de-tails of healthcare reform, sup-porters of the status quo will again resort to subterfuge and misrepresentation in an effort to confuse the issues.

Americans reviewing the history will realize that the arguments against reform are sounding all too familiar.

America cannot afford a re-peat of that history, because we’re currently experiencing the fruits of past inaction.

It’s time for meaningful healthcare reform, so any re-sulting legislation must in-clude the President’s core principles, not only because it will strengthen our nation, but it’s the right thing to do!

J o h nP a i n t e r

Since being appointed as the state’s “stimulus watchdog” earlier this

year, I’ve often been asked

how much of the federal stim-ulus money we’ve received so far.

I thought I’d take this op-

Show us where the money is goingportunity to answer that ques-tion and to explain how it’s being used.

At the time of this writing, the State of South Carolina has received just over $332 mil-lion in federal stimulus money. Seven state agencies have re-ceived these funds:

-- Department of Health and Human Services, $263,947,399 for Medicaid services

-- Employment Security Commission, $48,395,901 for unemployment benefi ts

-- Department of Education, $17,178,039 for services for at-risk students

-- Department of Health and Environmental Con-trol, $1,767,928 for mater-nal and child health services-- Department of Com-merce, $832,429 for work-force development grants-- Offi ce on Aging, $90,646 for meals for senior citizens

-- Governor’s Offi ce, $40,545 for youth services

State agencies and programs are expected eventually to re-

R i c h a r dE c k s t r o m

ceive about $2.8 billion from the stimulus package (all paid for by increasing federal debt and printing new currency.)

Unfortunately, in their rush to pass this massive “stimulus” package, the White House and Congress seemed to devote in-adequate thought to oversight.

There has been much talk about transparency -- but de-spite the fact that stimulus spending is already happen-ing, the federal government has yet to offer clear guide-lines on how the funds are to be tracked to ensure they are used as intended.

States aren’t even required to submit their fi rst spending reports to the federal govern-ment until this fall. And the federal stimulus Web site, Re-covery.gov, merely offers gen-eral information and press re-leases about various projects.

Still, the people of South Carolina can be confi dent that there will be oversight of stim-ulus spending in our state.

The S.C. Stimulus Over-

sight Task Force created by Gov. Sanford is committed to making sure the funds are spent with transparency and accountability.

And my offi ce is enhancing the state’s stimulus transpar-ency Web site, so that anyone with Internet access can view detailed stimulus spending with a few clicks of a mouse.

We’re shining a bright light on that spending. Burglars usually avoid brightly lit hous-es.

The stimulus plan repre-sents record-shattering growth in government, it‘s laden with spending that has nothing to do with growing our economy or creating jobs, and it saddles future generations with enor-mous debt.

But because it’s now the law, our focus has turned to ensuring these funds are spent without waste and misuse, and that people have easy access to the details.

Citizens deserve to conve-niently see how these funds are being used in South Caro-lina.

In His Own WordsWho: U.S. Rep. J. Gresham Barrett.When: June, 19, 2009Where: Washington, D.C. What: Response to state unemployment fi gures released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. “Today’s unemployment fi gures reaffi rm what we have known all along: the Democrats’ $789 billion government stimulus bill isn’t creating jobs. That’s why I opposed the stimulus plan from its out-set, and that’s why I voted against it. The Democrats’ stimulus plan was fl awed not just because it included items that had nothing to do with job creation, but because the private sector - not govern-ment - is the engine of growth in a free market economy.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday that the U.S. Senate “will not go down the government-health care road,” reject-ing the proposed overhaul of health care put forth by Presi-dent Barack Obama.

If we don’t go down that road, what path will we take? The current health care system’s road comes with a toll that pro-hibits many residents from even driving on it. Unless some-thing changes, unless a plan comes together, we may all be on the health care road to ruin.

As John Painter details in his Op-Ed on this page, health care costs are spiraling out of control, forcing many people to chose between buying their medicines or paying their other bills.

We remember sitting at the Littlejohn Community Cen-ter in Clemson last year and listening as a mother described choosing to go without her own medicines in order to afford the medicine her son needed.

We remember seeing hand after hand raised in the air, when health care offi cials at that meeting asked if anyone else was doing the same.

We remember seeing the tears in the eyes of almost every one in the room after those hands were raised.

Sen. Graham said that adopting a “government plan” regard-ing health care would place a government bureaucrat between a patient and their doctor.

How is that any worse than the insurance company bureaucrats that are standing between people and proper care now?

Many people are being denied care because the cost of treating them, of curing their ailments and diseases, would adversely af-fect a company’s bottom line.

People have been denied potentially life-saving treatment be-cause of bottom lines.

A company can turn red to black. It’s much harder to bring someone back to life.

We wish companies would adopt the Hippocratic Oath physi-cians adhere to, the one that says “First do no harm.”

The plan put forth by the Democrats isn’t perfect. It would cost a huge amount of money, an estimated $1 trillion, during a time when government spending is growing leaps and bounds in an effort to course-correct the foundering economy.

But any effort to address this problem, to give all Ameri-cans access to the health care they deserve, is going to cost huge amounts of money. The Republican health care plan, unveiled last week, did not contain an estimate of much the plan would cost, nor how many uninsured citizens would gain coverage under the plan.

We urge Sen. Graham to lead the charge for a bipartisan solution to this problem, and for all our leaders to stop the “You’re going to do that, but I’m going to do this,” ways of addressing our largest problems.

The health care system in this country is diseased. Only by working together can we fi nd a cure.

LIBERTY—Sometimes building a program requires taking small steps and being pa-tient. Fans are hoping that is the case with the Liberty Red Dev-ils football team.

The Red Devils were winless three years ago in Coach Rich-ard Singleton’s fi nal season with

‘Next step’ for Liberty’s Red Devils begins on Aug. 21the team.

Curtis Middleton came in as coach in 2007, and the Red Devils had a 1-9 campaign. Last season, Liberty fi nished the year 2-8. Liberty’s chance to take that next step begins Aug. 21, when the Red Devils host Christ

Church Episcopal.Opening the sea-

son at home against a single-A team may sound like “padding your schedule” to some, but Christ Church has a quality program that consis-tently has wins over large schools and is in the mix for the state single-A divi-sion title every sea-son.

That’s what Lib-erty found out when the Red Devils

fell to Christ Church 35-21 in last years season opener on the

road. Red Devils fans are hop-ing the home fi eld, and a year’s improvement will make a differ-ence this season.

Liberty then takes a “bye” week Aug. 28, while most other schools in the state will be open-ing their season.

The Red Devils make their fi rst appearance on the road for the 2009 season Sept. 4 at Pick-ens. Liberty has had little luck securing a win against Pickens in the past seven years, including last year’s 47-6 loss, but the Red Devils have been able to scare the Blue Flame, such as in 2004 when Pickens edged Liberty 20-16.

The Red Devils will try to make it two in a row against Carolina Academy on Sept. 11, as the Red Devils travel to Greenville to face the Trojans. Liberty defeated Carolina 21-12 last season at Red Devil Field.

The Red Devils return home Sept. 18 to face former Skyline

AA foe West-Oak. The Warriors moved up to the AAA level last season, and scored a 33-14 win over their former conference ri-vals.

Liberty then travels to Lan-drum, another single A school, hoping to repeat its victory from last season.

The Red Devils begin their Skyline AA schedule Oct. 2 at Walhalla. The Razorbacks de-feated Liberty 50-24 last sea-son, and fi nished the season 4-6, barely losing out to Crescent for the fourth and fi nal Skyline AA spot in the state playoffs.

On Oct. 9, Liberty returns home to face Pendleton, The Bulldogs shut out Liberty 45-0 last season. Pendleton fi nished the 2008 regular season with a 3-2 record in Skyline AA, and won the tiebreaker to be placed second.

The Bulldogs defeated Broome in the fi rst round of the playoffs, but fail to Fairfi eld-

Central in round two.Liberty will host Emerald

Oct. 16. Emerald, the school made from the run-over from Greenwood High School, joined the Skyline AA last season, and defeated Liberty 38-8 last sea-son in the fi rst-ever meeting between the schools.

The Vikings went on to fi n-ish the season with a 4-7 record after a high-scoring loss to Southside in the fi rst round of the AA playoffs.

The last Skyline AA game Liberty won was in 2007 against Crescent. Crescent got revenge last season at Red Devil Field, by defeating Lib-erty 30-16.

On Oct. 23, the Red Devils will try to be the fi fth straight visiting team to win in this ri-valry.

Liberty fi nishes the regular season Oct. 30 against defend-ing Skyline AA champions Ab-beville.

LIBERTY — Liberty High School’s Joseph Taylor has been awarded an athletic grant in aid to play baseball at South-ern Wesleyan University.

Taylor is a 4-year letterman and a 3-year starter for the LHS baseball team.

Taylor has been an outstand-ing pitcher and catcher for the last three years.

This past season, Taylor was named All-Region for the sec-ond time. He hit .333 with four doubles and two home runs.

He threw out two out of ev-ery three runners who tried to steal on him. His leadership and ability will truly be missed next season.

“I believe that Joseph will be a fi ne addition to the SWU team and I know he will have great success there,” LHS baseball Coach Scott Kerwin said.

CLEMSON — The North American Society for Sport History recognized Clemson University professor emeritus of history Joseph Arbena for his “exceptional contributions to the study of sport history” at its 37th annual convention in May.

Arbena, who retired from Clemson in 2006 after 40 years on the faculty, served the society as editor of its “Journal of Sport His-tory” (1993-1996), as a member

Nat’l Sport history society honors Clemson University professor for work in � eld

of its editorial board since 1996, as local arrangements chairman when the society visited Clemson in 1989 and as a participant in nu-merous programs.

Arbena also served on the editorial boards of several other journals devoted to sports studies. He was director of the Clemson University Conference on Sport and Society, 1981-1984, bring-ing together sports celebrities and academics of various disci-

plines to discuss the nature and meaning of sports. He continues to teach at Clemson each sum-mer semester and most recently taught a Maymester course on the history of baseball.

CU students named � nalists in competition to design pediatric clinics for Africa

CLEMSON — Four Clem-son University architecture students were selected as fi -nalists in an international competition to design new pe-diatric clinics for East Africa. Their work was showcased in May at a fundraiser in Seattle hosted by Humanity for Chil-dren, a non-profi t organization dedicated to providing health-care for children in developing countries.

Hunter McKenzie of Colum-bia, Todd Davis of Crowns-ville, Md., Sonal Patel of Fort Mill and Blake Hoffman of Greenville — all seniors ma-joring in architecture — par-ticipated in the project as part of their fourth-year design studio classes taught by archi-tecture professors Harry Harri-tos, Jane Hurt and Annemarie Jacques. ‘

“‘Design For The Children’ was an open, international de-sign competition inviting ar-chitects and designers to create a pediatric clinic model that is both sustainable as well as culturally responsive in its use of local materials and methods of construction,” said Jacques.

Possible sites for the new clin-ics include Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.

“These four students are among more than 300 design-ers from 30 countries who en-tered the competition,” Jacques said. “It is signifi cant that our students were recognized for their individual entries while the rest of the submittals were from teams of two-to-seven people.”

Anyone could enter, includ-ing registered architects and architectural fi rms. Clemson architectural students submit-ted about 20 individual de-signs

“Most of the entries in the competition were from teams of architects from fi rms all over the world,” said Jacques, who accompanied the four stu-dents to Seattle for the awards ceremony. “Our students’ work looked great and deserved to be amongst the 50. Their concepts, design development and presen-tations were of equal caliber to the rest.”

The competition was judged by a 10-member international jury of architects, educators, medical and public administra-tors, and others dedicated to im-proving health care and educa-tion in developing countries. The

fi rst-place winner was a team of architects and engineers from Bangladesh University of En-gineering and Technology. The second- and third-place winners were professional architectural fi rms from Sydney, Australia, and Los Angeles, respectively. The showcase exhibit will travel nationally as a fundrais-er for Save the Children.

“I’m impressed with these students for wanting to do something completely outside the range of what they know and are familiar with. They wanted to test the ways they can use their talent to help oth-ers,” Jacques said.

Cooking outA. R. Lewis PTA recently sponsored the school’s third annual Family Cookout. It’s a great way to wind down at the end of the year and kick off summer vacation, according to school offi cials. Above is Dawson Gilstrap enjoying his meal.

While shooting a video for Kids Talk About God televi-sion spots, I asked a kindergar-ten boy, “What did the signers of the Declaration of Indepen-dence declare freedom from?” He looked at me with some uncertainty and said, “Your parents.”

When I asked another boy what happened in 1776, he answered confi dently, “Chris-topher Columbus discovered America.”

Speaking of spiritual free-dom, another child said, “You get to go outside and play and say, ‘Yea!’”

I like this defi nition of spiri-tual freedom because it makes me recall the sheer joy of going outside to play. In my child-hood imagination, a whole world was “outside” waiting to be explored. No one had to teach me how to play or ex-plore. Every child knows this instinctively. It’s part of God placing eternity in our hearts.

What does the phrase Spiritual Freedom really mean?

God wants us to experience the play and exuberance of spiritual freedom. He wants us to come outside, as it were, into the wide spaces of his kingdom, where we can learn the dance of fellowship with him.

God is waiting for us to re-spond to his love so that he can fulfi ll our hearts’ desire for true intimacy. So many people live in a world of self-imposed

slavery because they’ve been betrayed by selfi sh lovers. God wants to heal our wounds and bring us to a place of living free in a loving relationship with him.

Some would like to por-tray spiritual freedom as only a call to give up something, but it’s more of a call to gain something greater. Writer C.S. Lewis once compared our spiritual blindness to a small

child’s fi xation with his sand-box. When his parents remove him from the sandbox for a vacation at the beach, he may kick, scream and cry. But all this ceases at the fi rst sight of beach, sand dunes and vast ocean horizons. Suddenly, the sandbox isn’t so appealing.

The problem isn’t that we’re seeking too much pleasure. We settle for too little. We’re so infatuated with our life of little mud pies in the sandbox that we can’t see the vast oceans and continents God would have us explore.

King David wrote, “You will show me the path of life; In your presence is fullness of joy; At your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11).

Have you ever noticed the faces of people living in the sandbox? In our hearts, we know there must be something more, but few have the cour-age to question prejudices they

inherit from culture, friends, family, false religion and ty-rants. Our own bad decisions further blind us as well be-cause we tend to justify our-selves rather than admit our guilt.

True freedom requires revo-lution. Our forefathers de-clared freedom from English tyranny by signing the Decla-ration of Independence. Amer-icans have died to obtain and keep our freedom.

We declare freedom from the sandbox (lies that promise life but never deliver) when we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as our savior. Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sin and rose again to break the bonds of death. He wants us to experience the vast oceans of life that fl ow from him as the source of eternal and abundant life.

Jesus wants to be your lib-erator and source of life. Will you declare your dependence

upon him today?Think about this: Jesus came

to set us free and to give us life. Memorize this truth: “There-fore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36). Ask this question: Are you living free in Christ, or enslaved by your own fears, traditions or passions?

PICKENS — Summertime is in full swing now and Pick-ens is abuzz with fun-fi lled ac-tivities in which families can participate.

One such activity is just around the corner: Pickens Celebrates the 4th!

This will be the 11th year that Pickens has enjoyed this fantastic celebration of our Nation’s birth hosted by East Pickens Baptist Church.

The celebration is located on Main Street Pickens near Legacy Square.

The purpose of Pickens Cel-ebrates the Fourth is to en-courage, promote and nurture the spiritual well-being of the citizens of Pickens County.

We accomplish this by honoring God as the author and founder of this great na-tion, and honoring the men and women, past and present, which serve and have served in defense of the United States of America.

As in past years, there will be plenty of fun to be had by all ages. There will be two sound stages with some excit-ing local talent providing en-tertainment.

Throughout the area will be a plethora of children’s enter-tainment as well as compli-mentary sno-cones.

While there is no entry fee and all entertainment is free, it has become necessary to charge a minimal fee for rides this year.

Pickens celebrates the 4th on Main Street once again

The children’s ride area will offer all-day rides for a small $5 fee per person.

There will also be various vendors available at the event with the sale of hotdogs, corn-dogs, funnel cakes, Chic-Fil-A sandwiches, French fries, and drinks.

Ending the festivities will be the grandest, most spectacular fi reworks display in the area, starting at 10 pm.

The fi reworks, compliments of the City of Pickens, will be launched from the Pickens High School football stadium for maximum viewing plea-sure for the whole city.

So as you enjoy the won-derful summertime events our county has to offer, come on down to Main Street Pickens on July 4th from 3 p.m.– 10 p.m. and join us in celebration of our Nation’s birth!

Contact the East Pickens Church offi ce at 864-878-4510 with any questions about

this event.

If I Could Ask God For AnythingBy Cheryl Ashmore

If I could ask God for any-thing, I would ask him would you walk in the garden with me.

Then I would ask Him, could we rest for awhile by the creek under the mighty oak tree.

I would ask God to speak about his never ending love for me.

I would ask Him to hold me in his loving arms for all of eternity.

Ready to Learn Children await the begin-ning of Easley First Baptist’s “Boomerang Express” Vaca-tion Bible School. Students at churches throughout the county are enjoying Vaca-tion Bible School these next few weeks.

property near the school. Because the stadium and

some parking will take up the entire 23 acres, she said other athletic facilities such as ten-nis courts will also have to be on the main property.

There will be paved parking for 52 vehicles and fi ve activ-ity buses, and half of that park-ing will be designated for the handicapped, she said.

Two large grassed areas will also hold an additional 150 cars and trucks, according to Mattison.

Before moving forward, school district offi cials must present the plan to the Pickens County Planning Commission on July 13, according to Dr. Mendel Stewart, former su-perintendent.

He said this was necessary because the school district had not purchased the land when they previously went to the

(Continued from Page 1A)

STADIUMcommission for approval for the building project in May 2008.

“The next step is to approve the contract after it goes to the planning commission,” Stew-art said.

He estimated that construc-tion should start in August.

School board approves more changes to new PHS plansBy Sandy Foster

PICKENS — Following the school board’s decision last month to use a different heat-ing and air system in the new high schools, architects went back to the drawing board once again for the new Pick-ens High School plans.

The plans now include the four-pipe HVAC system ap-proved by the board, which required them to raise the height of the classroom wing by 16 inches, according to Donza Mattison with Mc-Millan, Smith & Partners.

She said the increase in height will mean additional costs to the district but could not offer a figure at Monday night’s board meeting.

“The contractor should be able to re-evaluate the es-timated cost to determine whether or not the project remains within your targeted budget,” Mattison said.

Because of the change in HVAC systems, the archi-tects also eliminated the self-contained heat pumps from each classroom, and added a boiler/pump room and out-door equipment yard for the

air-cooled chillers.Still, they have decreased

the square footage of the school by 49,326 square feet from original plans, Matti-son said.

She also said brick in the higher portions of the audi-torium and gymnasium was put back into the plans, per the board’s request.

The board approved the plans unanimously, paving the way for the architects to move on to the construction

documents phase of the proj-ect.

“It’s important for us to keep moving,” said Dr. Men-del Stewart, former superin-tendent.

Stewart said construction on the school should start by the first week in October.

“Within the next six to seven months, three of the four new high schools should be under construction, with Daniel being started in the spring.”

Liberty Idol showcases the 50s, 60s and 70s By Candice Harper

LIBERTY – Liberty Idol is in full swing and the theme for round two this week was the 50s, 60s and 70s.

Saturday’s event started off in a hot way with the tempera-tures reaching very high, but once the sun went down, the competition really started to heat up as the crowd began to cool down.

The night brought differ-ent genres of music including Patsy Cline, Elvis Presley and many more.

One of the special features of the night included Liberty Policeman Mike Ticknor sing-ing a Father’s Day tribute on stage with his son.

Mayor Deese also made the announcement that Liberty is now selling town t-shirts. They are $12 and can be purchased at the Liberty Idol event or at City Hall.

While wearing a hot pink

example of the shirt, Mayor Deese told the crowd that the pink was for the ladies and for the real men.

As usual, a $100 Spinx gas card was given out as a prize at the end of the event. An anonymous lady also donated

a brand new Coach purse to the event as a prize.

Roy Costner, the City of Liberty and all the sponsors of Liberty Idol hope that every-one can come out next Satur-day and support their favorite contestants.

Aviation Authority offi cials told county staff that a taxi-way at the airport would have to be moved, as there was not enough clearance between the taxiway and the airport’s pro-posed box hangars.

County Administrator J. Chappell Hurst told council that the taxiway would have to be moved about 25 feet, but that funds were available to do so.

Council had previously al-located $1 million for hangar construction, but construction

came in under budget, with $600,000 available for the taxiway move.

My John Deere is the 5525 Utility Tractor.

From a business perspective, GreenSouth helped me find just the right John Deere tractor for my farm. The quick and easy implement hook-up of the iMatch™ hitch, along with the power of the 5525’s 99HP engine, has maximized my productivity. From my perch in the climate-controlled cab, I’ve got easy-to-use controls – so easy, it’s like driving a car. Basically, GreenSouth did everything they could to make sure I’m doing way better than alright.
