state ports public
Carroll A.
Campbell III, the son of the former governor prominently
linked to some of this state's most significant achievements
in economic development, went on the offensive last week
against a bad idea that was gaining steam.

Republican
leadership growing our economy
It's come to my attention, and to my surprise,
that recently there has been some criticism by a very small
minority of business leaders who feel Gov. Mark Sanford has
not shown the type of leadership they believe this state needs
to move forward.

Giving
kids a second chance
Building Dreams
gives the children of prison inmates a chance at something they've
lost -- a normal relationship with a stable adult. A $600,000 grant
from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ensures those
relationships will continue for at least three years. (08/20/05)
Thumbs
up, thumbs down
Thumbs Up to the
sponsors of tonight's Homeless Animals' Day ceremony that is part of
the national effort to remind people to work to reduce pet
overpopulation so animals will not be euthanized when they are not
wanted. In Greenville County, the observance takes place at the
Greenville City Hall courtyard on Main Street at 7:30 p.m. People
attending the event are asked to bring a bag of dog or cat food for
the Meals on Wheels Pet Food Assistance Program. For more
information, call 322-7626.

Exercising
school choice
Though extraordinarily
controversial, President Bush's landmark No Child Left Behind Act
was designed to help struggling students escape failing schools.
About 40,000 public school students in South Carolina are taking the
opportunity to do exactly that.

More
jobs have been lost to productivity than to China
I estimate that 20 million to 30 million
manufacturing jobs were lost globally between 1995 and 2002, with
about two-thirds of those losses occurring in China itself. In fact,
China lost as many manufacturing jobs in those years (15 million to
20 million) as the United States possessed (17.2 million at the
beginning of the period and 15.3 million at the end). (08/19/05)

Time
is now for ANWR
With oil prices about
$64 a barrel, after dropping a bit Wednesday, and gasoline at $3 a
gallon in some places, the time is right for the United States to
open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil and natural gas
drilling. (08/18/05)
Another
native son
Sgt. Edward "Eddie" Ralph
Heselton, 23, of Easley, had a knack for fixing vehicles and was a
"band nerd" when he was at Berea High School. Heselton, a U.S. Army
Reserve soldier serving with the Greenville-based 391st Engineer
Battalion, 415th Chemical Brigade, died Aug. 11 in Orgun-E,
Afghanistan. The Pentagon said his unit was performing a
route-clearing mission when ordnance exploded near his vehicle. (08/18/05)
Mauldin
sets sights high with cultural center plans
The city of Greenville has led the way locally in a
national trend of revitalized downtowns and renovated historic
districts with its very popular Main Street and West End areas. The
surrounding communities have taken this example to heart and many
are employing these same tactics to bring a bit of history into the
modern era. I am proud to say no one is working harder towards this
than Mauldin, South Carolina.

Sanford's
bold move necessary to avoid a crisis
Gov. Mark Sanford's Medicaid waiver proposal, "South
Carolina Healthy Connections," is a step in the right direction
towards damming the floodwaters of an ever-increasing Medicaid
budget, while also ensuring a higher standard of care for the
state's Medicaid beneficiaries.

For over a decade, communities

We light a candle to remember animals who have died due to

solutions. Rescue groups, individuals and shelters work tirelessly
to find homes for animals.

I commend the writer for the

advocacy for more women on the hospital board, I concur with the
opinion of City Councilwoman Lillian Brock Fleming's remarks. (08/16/05)

OUR TURN
Do
Americans save too little of their money?
The national savings rate fell to zero percent in
June and, for the year, is expected to be the lowest since the Great
Depression. What are the consequences for the nation's economy and
for the prospects of a comfortable retirement for Americans? Do you
spend too much money and save too little?
