- Details
- By Gilbert Scales
The 7th Annual Greenville Health System Minority Health Summit was held at the Bi-Lo Center on Saturday.
The focus of this year’s event was obesity and the toll it takes on African-Americans in Greenville County.
“Greenville County alone has a 67% obesity rate – yet weight has a way of faking us out,” said Summit Organizer Melinda Hudson Gillispie, BSN, RN, Coordinator GHS Community Relations. “Most of us may think we could ‘stand to lose a few pounds,’ but very few of us realize where we actually stand in relationship to being obese or overweight.”

- By Bob Dill, Publisher
“They Went to the Sound of the Guns. They Were Saving People, but they Couldn't be Saved Themselves Because of the Ineptitude or the Political Chicanery of an Administration that doesn't even care about the Military.”
Seven hundred retired military Special Operations personnel who voluntarily put their lives on the line for their country, have signed a petition demanding that the U. S. House of Representatives convene a special (select) committee to uncover the answers to lingering questions about the Benghazi terrorist attack that killed a U. S. Ambassador and three others, including two Navy SEALs. Members of the Special Operations “brotherhood” ranging from four-star generals to Army privates signed the petition, according to a spokesman for the veterans group Special Operations Speaks. A letter to Congressional leaders contained 16 questions that veterans believe need better answers.

“Civil War” Cockades Presented by Heather Sheen
- Details
- By Jennifer Sawyer
The JB Kershaw Chapter UDC was delighted to have Heather Sheen of Greenville #51 UDC present “Civil War” Cockades at their March 19 meeting. Heather has probably become a national authority on the subject as she began researching the topic before the Sesquicentennial of the Firing on Ft. Sumter, April, 2011. In fact, she was contacted by the producers of the recent movie “Les Miserable” and asked if she could provide 3000 cockades for opening night of the movie! Little did they know that these are hand-made and could not be done in three short weeks.
Chapter ladies found the topic very interesting as well as the items she brought with her, some of which she had made, and others from different time periods in history. Heather apologized for calling it the “Civil War” as that is not the correct name for this period in history. But, in order to move along quickly and cover a lot of information, she used this shortened name.

Resolutions Passed Opposing Federally Dictated Intrusive Unfunded Education Mandate
The Greenville County Republican Women’s Club during their March luncheon meeting at the Poinsett Club unanimously passed a resolution asking state leaders to take four actions to distance South Carolina from the education Common Core State Standards Initiative and the SBAC assessment scheme.
Common Core is described by opponents as “an attempt by progressive education “reformers” in Washington, D.C. to herd the states into national standards, eventually culminating in a national curriculum. The Obama Administration used stimulus money and “Race to the Top” grants to create incentives for 45 states and the District of Columbia to accept the mandates. Currently sixteen states have withdrawn or are in the process of doing so.
