Wagener United Methodist Church Senior Food Program

Are you a senior citizen over 60 in need of some food? If so, the Wagener United Methodist Church in conjunction with ACTS (Area Churches Together Serving) of Aiken can help.

On the 3rd Saturday of every month, food that has been supplied by ACTS is distributed to those that qualify for this service. Along with the age limit, of course there is an income limit as well.  Confirmation of your age and income is a requirement.

 

Apply either through the ACTS office in Aiken on Park Avenue, SW, or come to the church on the 3rd Saturday with your paperwork in hand and we will complete your application. If you qualify, food will be given to you at that time. Distribution time is 8 to 9:30 AM every month on the 3rd Saturday.

 

SCDOT Pothole Hotline

Please call all potholes into SCDOT at 855-467-2368.  SCDOT will call back notifying the caller within 48 hours that the hole is repaired.  SCDOT does not drive around looking for issues, they depend on the public and Law Enforcement to report any problems or issues on the roads.   When calling be prepared to give the precise location, with the closest intersection to the problem roadway area.

Fines to be Imposed on Properties in Poor Condition

Public Notice:   Starting January 1, 2020, the Town of Wagener shall commence enforcing town ordinance violations for properties being in poor condition (i.e. abandoned vehicles, debris/discarded items, overgrown vegetation/downed tree limbs).  A copy of the ordinance can be read at the town hall.

Please maintain your properties to prevent any potential fines being imposed.

Carol Bodie First Woman Inducted SCBOA Hall of Fame

Former WSHS graduate Carol Hoover Bodie was inducted into the South Carolina Basketball Officials Association (SCBOA) Hall of Fame on March 28, 2018, becoming the first woman ever to be inducted. Bodie is a trailblazer in the world of SC high school sports. She was the first female in the state to officiate a high school state final. In 2006, she was awarded as girls’ basketball official of the year and she was the first woman to officiate an all-star game. She’s not sure how many state finals she has done in her 26 years of officiating, but it’s been more than a few.

Previously, Bodie has served three years as a district director and three years as an assistant district director in the SCBOA, responsible for the training and the education of officials, as well as scheduling officials for sub-varsity games, scrimmages, jamborees and holiday tournament games. In SC, varsity scheduling is administered by the SC High School League. The better the official, the better game he or she gets to officiate.

Bodie officiates varsity basketball and volleyball. SCBOA’s regulations prevent officials from officiating varsity basketball games at their alma mater, so she has not officiated a game at WSHS; however, Bodie has officiated several varsity volleyball games here. She’s been calling high school volleyball for 16 years and she did the lines in college volleyball for 2 years.

“I’ve made a lot of friends over the years,” Bodie said, referring to other officials. “They’re like family.” It is this “family” that Bodie credits for getting her through her husband’s recent illness and death after nearly 40 years of marriage.
