GOD SPEAKS, “It is Time to Come Together, River Falls Community!”
- By Tammy Johnston
This past humid Saturday afternoon around 3:20 pm, a neighbor diagonally across the street from the River Falls Fire Department heard a loud crashing noise at the firehouse. When they stood outside their home, they saw that the roof structure had collapsed. The neighbor then called Lois Keenan, a River Falls Firefighter Volunteer, and told her to rush out here as quickly as possible. She was on a medical call when the roof collapsed… while her “fire home” was falling down to pieces.
When Lois Keenan arrived at the scene, she was shocked and concerned as she told the neighbor, “I am so glad no one was inside when the roof collapsed.” Lois then proceeded to call Assistant Fire Chief of River Falls Fire Department, Kevin Owens, to alert him of this travesty.

It was here that they competed with over 4,000 teenagers from 50 states including Puerto Rico for a chance to bring home a trophy from one of the twelve events featured at this conference.
Cadet Captain Quinn, Cadet Major Beutler, and Master Cadet Bostic competed in three events, but the Traffic Car Stop event was the one that gave them the opportunity for the 1st Place trophy.

My Time Examined
- By James "Chip" Moore
Reflection of a summer internship with The Times Examiner
Writing has always been a passion of mine. It is the effect that reading has on the brain that has built my interest with it. While someone is reading, for that brief period of time, they are thinking the writer’s thoughts. As an educated man I value my discernment and value my search for truth. In the beginning writing was a hobby and was used to express my imagination, but now it has become more than that.
As an aspiring fiction writer I felt that furthering my education in writing would be the best way to gain credibility when it was time to acquire a publisher. Attention to my writing while gaining my business degree led me to enroll in the Print Media program at North Greenville University when I moved back to South Carolina. My Grandfather was a student and my step-sister was also enrolled at the time. I like to think that the Lord opened the path for me to continue my education at the university.

Roof Raisers Succeed in Bluegrass Band Benefit
- By Tammy Johnston
On Saturday, August 11, the Roof Raiser Volunteers for the River Falls Fire Department sponsored a Bluegrass Band Benefit at Lakemont Colony, in Cleveland, South Carolina, benefiting the River Falls Fire Department. Rain came slowly then poured down, but that did not stop over 250 people from enjoying this charitable event.
Two Bluegrass Bands came and performed Mountain Creek Bluegrass featuring Mike Elrod and Josh Johnson’s group. “Both groups provided wonderful music for free for us to listen to. I went up and thanked them for their time and contribution,” says Pat McCain, Wellness Specialist, and Nurse from the area. It was calming and relaxing listening to the beautiful sounds of banjos and guitars with the local community, smiling and talking with each other… coming together to support each other to raise money for this important cause.

After the Shooting, We’re Still Standing
- By Tony Perkins
Family Research Council
On Wednesday, FRC was the target of what the FBI is calling an act of domestic terrorism. A gunman, identified as Floyd Corkins, invaded our headquarters in Washington, D.C. armed with a 9mm pistol, approximately 50 rounds of ammunition, and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches. The gunman was confronted by an unarmed member of the FRC staff, Leo Johnson. When the gunman pulled the gun from his backpack and aimed the weapon at Leo, Leo moved toward the gunman to disarm him. Despite being shot in the process, Leo was able to subdue the shooter and call for others on the staff, who helped admirably. One of the investigators, based on their preliminary findings, told me Leo's actions saved a lot of lives.

Travelers Rest Area Celebrates Spirit ‘45

The United States Congress passed a resolution in 2010, stating that the second Sunday in August would be a celebration of national unity and our appreciation for the men and women who were in the military during World War II. World War II officially ended in August 1945. The war in Europe ended May 8, 1945, but the Japanese did not officially surrender until September 2, 1945.
Sunday, August 12th, being the second Sunday in August, the Travelers Rest community celebrated the annual “Spirit ‘45" at the Reedy River Baptist Church. More than 300 guests attended the celebration program, which included 24 WWII veterans.
