Officer Scott McDaniel of the


South Carolina Department of
Natural Resources spoke to the 8th
Grade Students at Leavelle
McCampbell Middle School.
Officer McDaniels presentation
covered all phases of Boating Laws
and Responsibilities for the
students and their families.
Boaters under 16 years of age
are required by law to pass an
approved boater education course
before operating, without
supervision, a personal watercraft
(jet ski) or a boat powered by 15
hp motor or more. The course can
be taken in a classroom, over the
internet or by video.
The South Carolina
Department of Natural Resources
(SCDNR) Boater Education
Program teaches the fundamentals
of safe and responsible boating.
This is necessary to reduce loss of
life, personal injury and property
damage while increasing boating
enjoyment for outdoor
enthusiasts.
Officer McDaniel discussed
the following required equipment.
Personal Flotation Devices,
Navigation Lights, Fire
Extinguishers, Ventilation
Systems, Blackfire, Flame
Arrestors, Mufflers, Sound
Producing Devices, and Visual
Distress Signals(VDSs). The
students participated in the
discussion by telling how each
device could help save a life and
protect the boaters and other
boaters. Officer McDaniel
demonstrated the different types
of Personal Flotation Devices and
passed them around for the
students to examine. He
explained that South Carolina
law requires all children under 12
years of age to wear a U.S. Coast
Guard approved Type I, II, III, or
VPED while on board a Class A
(less than 16 feet long) vessel. The
life jacket must be fastened and of
the proper size for the individual.
McDaniel concluded the
presentation by stated the
following guidelines for water
safety:

.
Take a boating course
. Be considerate
. Be safe
. Wear a life vest
. Dont use drugs or alcohol
while in or around water
. Have fun
Dr. LLoydette Young, the
principal, thanked Officer
McDaniel for the thorough
presentation and his dedication
to the students of Leavelle
McCampbell Middle School. She
also thanked him for the
Handbooks that were given to
each student.

Te Senate concluded regular
session for 2013 on June 6 and returns
for conference reports and the budget
later in June. I hope that you fnd this
update helpful and informative. If I
can help you with an issue, please let
me know.
Congratulations Graduates!:
Congratulations to the hundreds of
high school and college graduates in
Aiken County in recent weeks! We are
proud of you! Best wishes as they go to
work or continue their education!
SRS - Workforce and
Liquid Waste Budget Update
Good News! SRS
Reprogramming: On May 27, the
impacted workforce at SRS returned to
full work status with no reduction in
pay. Tis is good news for many local
families and our community.
Liquid Waste Budget Request:
Another issue, with signifcant
implications as to our community, its
workforce, and the cleanup of
Savannah River Site, is the Presidents
budget request for high level waste
cleanup and closure of aging waste
tanks at SRS. Early last month, our
legislative delegation wrote our states
Congressional delegation and
members of Georgias delegation
requesting attention to this issue.
MOX Project: Many people in
our community are very concerned
about the budget allocation for the
MOX Project. Senators Graham and
Scott and Congressman Wilson are
working on this in Washington.
Senate News
Regular Session Concludes:
Te Senates regular session concluded
on June 6 with a number of bills
having to wait until the Senate returns
in January. Tose bills include Ethics
Reform; Afordable Care Act
Nullifcation; Concealed Weapons
Restaurant Carry; and Read to
Succeed. Nevertheless, some high
profle bills reached fnal passage on the
last day including the Election Law Fix.
Some are in conference committees
with fnal passage to occur when the
Senate returns later in June include the
Department of Administration/
Elimination of Budget and Control
Board.
State Budget: Te Senate met into
the evening for eleven legislative days
in May spending hours debating a
number of proposed amendments
to the budget. Eventually, the
Senate approved the state budget and
the Capital Reserve Fund bill. Tey
now go to a budget conference
committee to resolve diferences in
the House and Senate versions. Ten,
afer adoption of a conference report,
the budget goes to the Governor for
her consideration. She is certain to
issue vetoes to be considered by the
General Assembly later in June.
Medicaid Expansion: On May
21, the Senate debated Medicaid ex-
pansion for several hours before
voting 23-19 to table a budget
amendment authorizing the state to
accept the expansion. I voted to table
and do not support expansion.
Currently, without expansion,
Medicaid is the largest portion of the
state budget projected to cost us $6.47
Billion this coming fscal year alone.
At this amount, Medicaid
spending without expansion will
have increased over $500 Million
from the current fscal year to next.
Tis amount exceeds all spending on
(1) K-12 education and (2) roads and
bridges combined by approximately
$800 Million.
Senator Ford Resigns: In the wake
of a Senate ethics investigation, Senator
Robert Ford resigned on May 31
efective June 6 at 5:00 pm. Te Senate
Ethics Committee recommended
referring the case to the Attorney
General.
Grandparents Rights: Tere are
times where a child has to be removed
from the home through proceedings
in Family Court. Under existing law,
grandparents do not have any priority
when it comes to where the child will
be placed. During the last week, the
Senate passed H.3464 which amends
existing law so that courts should
consider placing the child with the
grandparent(s) if the judge concludes
that the grandparent(s) is ft and
willing to serve as the childs caregiver.
Many people in District 24 emailed
me about this legislation over the past
couple of years.
Mental Health Reporting
Purchase of Guns: In early May, the
Senate passed H. 3560 which
establishes a system in South Carolina
for reporting to the National Instant
Criminal Background Check System
(NICS) those who have been
adjudicated a mental defective or
committed to a mental institution.
Tese individuals are already
prohibited under federal law from
possessing, receiving, transporting, or
shipping a frearm. Reporting to NICS
ensures such people are not able to
lawfully purchase a frearm through a
Federal Firearms License Holder. Te
bill also establishes a system through
which such individuals may seek
relief in the courts from the restric-
tions on frearms related to a judicial
determination as a person with mental
problems or a person committed to
a mental institution. Governor Haley
signed the bill into law in mid May.
Constituent Information

Why Preachers are Afraid to Talk
about Hell and Homosexuality


guest editorial by Rev. Ray Comfort
I banned a very nice orthodox priest
from my Facebook page recently. He was
polite, kind, respectful, friendly, and it
seemed that he was always talking about
the importance of love and forgiveness.
However, afer one of my posts he asked,
Why do you bring fear into the
gospel? Te question was a little
strange, so I asked if he believed in the
existence of a literal Hell. Afer some
hedging he revealed that he believed that
Hell was the fre of Gods love, and he
linked me to an article that said that it
was disgusting to go around warning
people about Hell. Up until that point
I had already banned 1,449 atheists for
cussing, and when the friendly priest
joined them, I was suddenly fooded
with angry protesting atheists who loved
him. I told them that they were very
welcome on my page, but even any
professing Christian who betrayed the
cause of the gospel would be banned.
Tere are many preachers in pulpits
that are like the popular priest. One
atheist spoke of one when he
commented, I went to church four days
ago. I liked the preacher because he
didnt yell and scream and tell me I was
going to Hell. He smiled the whole time
he talked. Why cant more of them be
like that? I told him that it seemed that
his smiley preacher (like the friendly
priest), either didnt believe the words of
Jesus, or he didnt care that people who
die in their sins would end up in Hell.
Tese are, however, difcult times for
the average preacher. If we warn of Hell
or speak of the Bibles stance on
homosexuality, we are quickly accused
of hate speech. But there are ways that
you and I can talk about the reality of
Hell and reach homosexuals with the
gospel, and have it make sense.
One reason preachers avoid speaking
of Hell isnt because they dont believe
in it. Its because they misunderstand
the purpose of the moral Law (the Ten
Commandments). Gods Law shows us
that the One we must face on Judgment
Day is morally perfect, and that He
considers lust to be adultery (see
Matthew 5:27-28) and hatred to be
murder (see 1 John 3:15). It is because of
this perfect righteousness that He abhors
evil and warns that a day of ultimate and
perfect justice is coming. Any human
judge who is good must see that justice
is done, and Gods goodness will see to
it that ultimate justice will be satisfed.
Murderers, rapists, thieves, liars,
fornicators, adulterers, etc., will get what
is due to them.
When preachers dont use the Law to
show Gods absolute righteousness, and
instead talk of His love and kindness,
adding But He will send you to Hell if
you dont trust in Jesus makes no sense.
It paints God as a vengeful tyrant. So any
such talk is avoided.
However, when Paul reasoned with
Felix, we are told that he spoke of sin
(which is transgression of the Law1
John 3:4), righteousness (which is of the
Law) and temperance, and Felix
trembled. In the light of his own
exceeding sinfulness and the perfect
righteousness of God, the self-indulgent
governor understood that he was in big
trouble. He trembled because Hell
suddenly made sense. Te Law makes
Hell reasonable.
When I speak with a homosexual, I
avoid talk about his sexual
orientation. Tis is because I dont want
him to be ofended before I share the
gospel. So I simply ask if he thinks hes
a good person. When he predictably
says that he is, I take him through the
Ten Commandments (because scripture
says that the moral Law was made for
homosexuals--1Timothy 1:8-10)). Has
he lied or stolen? Has he blasphemed
Gods name? And when I ask about
looking with lust, I deliberately dont
mention any gender.
Before seeing his sin, he was proud
and self-righteous (thinking he was
morally good), but now hes humble
of heart. Tat means he is able to be
reasoned with, without being defensive.
So I tell him that to be saved from Hell
he must repent of all sin and trust alone
in Jesus. I then show him what sin
is, by referring him to 1 Corinthians
6:9-10: Do not be deceived. Neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor
thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards,
nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit
the kingdom of God. I then lovingly
tell him that if he has a problem with
the list, he should take it up with God,
because its His list, not mine.
I want to see adulterers, fornicators,
thieves and others on that list avoid the
terror of Hell, so why should I exclude
homosexuals because Im afraid of being
accused of hatred. Love cannot do that.
Great preachers of past centuries
understood the necessity of doing what
Jesus didusing the Ten
Commandments to bring the knowledge
of sin (see Mark 10:17). A failure to
do so has resulted in the Church being
flled with false converts, and this has
dissipated its ability to be salt and light
in a dark and sinful world. It has
relegated the Church to irrelevance in
the eyes of the world (see Matthew 5:13).
Its time to go back to biblical
evangelism.
