Purpose The Older Americans Act (OM) of 1965 and as amended in 2000 requires that each state submit a State Plan on Aging (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"} in order to be eligible for federal funding under the OM. The Bureau of Senior Services, Office of the Lieutenant Governor is the designated State Unit on Aging (SUA) for South Carolina, and as such is responsible for administering and carrying out requirements of the OM. This Plan provides a blueprint for how the SUA will manage OM programs, services, and other activities from October 1, 2004 through September 30, 2008. It provides guidance on how the SUA will carry out its mission of enhancing the quality of life of all older citizens, regardless of whether they participate in OM programs.

  • 2010 Arts Advocacy Handbook
    2010 ARTS ADVOCACY HANDBOOK Celebrating 30 Years of Service to the Arts January 2010 Dear Arts Leader: As we celebrate our 30th year of service to the arts, we know that “Art Works in South Carolina” – in our classrooms and in our communities. We also know that effective advocacy must take place every day! And there has never been a more important time to advocate for the arts than NOW. With drastic funding reductions to the South Carolina Arts Commission and arts education programs within the S. C. Department of Education, state arts funding has never been more in jeopardy. On February 2nd, the South Carolina Arts Alliance will host Arts Advocacy Day – a special opportunity to celebrate the arts – to gather with colleagues and legislators – and to express support for state funding of the arts and arts education! Meet us at the Statehouse, 1st floor lobby (enter at the Sumter Street side) by 11:30 AM, to pick up one of our ART WORKS IN SOUTH CAROLINA “hard-hats” and advocacy buttons to wear. If you already have a hat or button, please bring them! We’ll greet Legislators as they arrive on the 1st floor and 2nd floors. From the chamber galleries, you can view the arts being recognized on the House and Senate floors. You may want to “call out” your legislator to let him or her know you are at the Statehouse and plan to attend the Legislative Appreciation Luncheon. Then join arts leaders and legislators at the Legislative Appreciation Luncheon honoring the Legislative Arts Caucus.

  • Haley up Big, Sheheen Narrowly in SC Governor Primaries
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 25, 2010 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 Haley Up Big, Sheheen Narrowly in SC Governor Primaries Raleigh, N.C. – Polled over the weekend, before news broke of possible marital infidelity by gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley, South Carolina Republicans favor her by a wide margin over her primary opponents to replace outgoing governor Mark Sanford. Meanwhile, Jim Rex and Vincent Sheheen are in a tight battle for the Democratic nomination heading into the June 8th vote. Haley leads at 39%, with the other three contenders grappling for traction in the teens, Henry McMaster at 18, Gresham Barrett at 16, and Andre Bauer at 13. About as many, 14%, are undecided as favor the latter three. Haley and McMaster are both very well liked, with 47-13 and 43-22 favorability marks, while views on Bauer are decidedly negative, at 26-49. Barrett comes in at 28-18. Sheheen tops Rex 36 to 30, with Robert Ford at 11% and 23% still undecided. Over half of Democratic primary voters still have no opinion of Sheheen and Rex, but Sheheen is more popular, with a 31-11 favorability margin to Rex’s 29-19. Sanford still gets a 51% job approval rating among his base electorate, to 36% who disapprove. That is similar to December’s 50-34 margin among all Republican voters. Brought back to the fore with the recent comments by Kentucky Republican Senate nominee Rand Paul, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is supported by 58% of South Carolina Republican primary voters and opposed by only 15%, with 27% unsure.

The Columbia Canal, originally completed in 1824 to provide navigation past local rapids, was redesigned in 1891 to provide hydroelectric power to local industries. The red brick building in the center of the photograph was built in the 1890s and houses the pumps once used by the City of Columbia to supply water to its citizens. Although use of this pumping plant ended in the early 1970s, the canal still serves as a source of public-supply water and hydroelectric power for the City. Today, these buildings and the canal form part of Columbias Riverfront Park. (Photograph by Andrew Wachob, S.C. Department of Natural Resources.) SOUTH CAROLINA WATER PLAN Second Edition by A. W.

GOVERNOR ANDRE BAUER As a former public school substitute teacher, I have always been a strong “supporter of providing parents a choice when it comes to educating their children. As South Carolina struggles with the uncertainty of the economic future... it shouldn’t struggle with providing its children the best opportunity and best education possible to build the workforce foundation for the future. I will continue to support educational choice as a key component to our ability to attract, retain and increase jobs in the future.” Paid for and authorized by The South Carolina Republican Party ATTORNEY GENERAL HENRY MCMASTER P.O. Box 12373 We have a duty to provide a quality education for all our children. Our Columbia, SC 29211 “efforts must produce accountability for the taxpayers and confidence p: (803) 988-8440 | f: (803) 988-8444 for the parents. Classrooms must be safe, sound and stimulating. Teachers must be the best. Choice and competition are indispensable ingredients to achieving excellence.” CONGRESSMAN GRESHAM BARRETT Empowerment is the key to improving education in South Carolina. We can “empower parents by providing them with the opportunity to decide which school - be it public, private, home or parochial - best fits the educational needs of their individual child. We can empower teachers by rewarding excellence and innovation in the classroom. And we can empower employers by ensuring they have access to an educated workforce.” REPRESENTATIVE NIKKI HALEY School choice is an educational and moral imperative.
