While praying to the Lord in September, Fred Maus was given direction to open a ministry to help returning military and their families while they search for housing. After the previous tenant left at the end of September, the Lord’s direction was not to rent it out again. Instead, Maus is opening the doors to a fully furnished home with staple food for up to two weeks for military returning from a tour of duty overseas, including their spouse and children.
GOD SPEAKS, “It is Time to Come Together, River Falls Community!”

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.

My Time Examined

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

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.
