PICKENS — The School District of Pickens County’s latest project aims to broaden the educational horizons of both children and adults.
Officials broke ground Friday morning on the Gateway to Innovation — G2i for short — at the Dr. Mendel H. Stewart campus, housed on the grounds of the former Pickens Middle School site.
“This is a significant event,” said school board chairman Randy Robinson, who recalled telling district superintendent Danny Merck to “kick out a wall at the career center” to enlarge the district facility for growth.
“He did one better,” Robinson said of Merck. “He had a thought, and that thought’s behind us.”
Robinson thanked district staff for “planning ahead, thinking ahead and having a vision

Think pink for breast cancer awareness
The Courier is going pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In honor of those whose lives have been affected by this devastating disease, we will accent our front page with pink every week of October.
The pink ribbon has been synonymous with breast cancer for years. Nowadays, people rarely think twice when they see pink ribbons, having grown accustomed to the pink ribbon and what it symbolizes.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been celebrated each year since 1985, and many other breast cancer awareness initiatives have been devised since then. While the pink ribbon may seem like it’s been in use for just as long, it was actually established only a little more than 20 years ago.
Although you can see waves of pink every October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, many people don their ribbons year-round. Great strides have been made with respect to breast cancer, but with about 225,000 new cases popping up each year in the United States alone, there is still work to be done.

Out of touch with reality
Philippians 2:1-2 “If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, fulfil ye my joy, that ye be 
likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.”
A word we often hear in this day in age is “connected.” To be connected is to be joined together in agreement of our belief in Christ Jesus as our God and our Creator (John 1:1-3).
I once taught a children’s lesson with an old style
