A12 Address Service Requested BY LACY HARDEE FOR THE LORIS SCENE Loris Elementary School’s fourth graders are ready to “talk trash” and teach the community about the importance of recycling. For the seventh year in a row, LES students are ready to take on the challenge against other Horry County schools to see which school can collect the most recy- clable materials in the 11th year of the Horry County Solid Waste Authority’s “Talkin’ Trash” program. Kendra Hucks, recycling coordinator for the SWA, visited the school Sept. 9 for the program’s kickoff, along with Bruce Refuse, the pro- gram’s entertaining mascot. Hucks explained the pro- gram through a short film and power-point presenta- tion, and fielded good ques- tions from a large group of LES fourth graders. “The students get really excited about the program, and Loris Elementary has always been a leader and a great example of how the recycling program is impor- tant in our communities,” said Hucks. LES has won various awards over the years, and last year won several new computers and was a leader each month of the year’s efforts. Susan Graham of LES has been the school’s program leader for the past four years and has already begun plans to make LES a recy- cle-friendly drop-off school. “We have set up different recycle points throughout the school where the stu- dents can easily drop-off October’s recyclables, which is newspapers, on their way to class after breakfast which makes it easy for them, and gives everyone a chance to take part and rec- ognize the drop-off points,” said Graham. Graham urges the com- munity to get involved by showing support for the stu- dent’s efforts, dropping off recyclables or by contacting the school about how to help. Each month a different recyclable is collected by the students at school. The school that recycles the most items that month wins. The contest is open to any public school in Horry County with fourth grade classes. Each participating school receives an eight-yard dumpster to collect their recyclables. Each school is judged based on the num- ber of pounds collected per fourth grade student per month. From Oct. 1-20, newspa- pers and magazines are being collected, followed by this rotating schedule: Nov. 1-17, plastic bottles and jugs; Dec. 1-15, alu- minum and tin cans; Jan. 1- 19, newspapers and maga- Bruce Refuse, the Talkin’ Trash program mascot, got the Loris Elementary School fourth graders primed for the upcoming recycle program sponsored by the Solid Waste Authority and WMBF.

WOW CEREMONY WOW CEREMONY BY LACY HARDEE FOR THE LORIS SCEANE Calling all volunteers! The 32nd annual Loris Bog-Off Festival is just around the corner, and the Loris Chamber of Commerce is seeking vol- unteers in several impor- tant areas. “The only reason that our hometown festival is such a tremendous suc- cess is because of the many volunteers that serve during the event,” said Samantha Norris of the Loris Chamber of Commerce. “Without the 125-150 volunteers, our Bog-Off festival could not be an effective and proud host to the 30,000- plus crowd that comes to town for the day.” Volunteers needed for 2011 Loris Bog-Off VOLUNTEERS, A3 ~ OUR PEOPLE ~ BY LACY HARDEE FOR THE LORIS SCENE One of the great things about Loris is the fact that family means something and that our downtown businesses are often carried on from generation to generation.
