Our speaker on October 1 was Jim Newsome, President and CEO of the South Carolina Ports Authority. Mr. Newsome’s father worked for the port of Savannah, so he grew up in the business. After earning bachelors and masters degrees
from the University of Tennessee in Transportation and Logistics, he worked in ocean shipping before coming to Charleston in 2009. The strategic priorities for the port are to grow the cargo capacity, develop infrastructure including a new terminal and a deeper harbor, maintain Charleston’s first-in-the-nation ranking for productivity and efficiency, and remain financially sustainable. One in five jobs in SC is dependent on the port, and the economic impact on the Aiken area is $1.86 billion annually. The Ports Authority is building an inland port near Greer with intermodal rail. The inland port will take 100,000 trucks off the roads in South Carolina. Mr. Newsome gave the podium to Sen. Lindsay Graham, who he credits as the resident expert in Congress on harbor deepening and shipping infrastructure. Sen. Graham pledged to work in a bipartisan fashion in the upcoming lame-duck session to deepen the Mississippi River and begin other necessary expansion of the inland waterways.
CLASSIFICATION TALK
By Barbara Strack
Bob Hibbard received a club first—a standing ovation—for his talk on his life and career as a United Methodist minister. Bob’s father was a Methodist minister in Hyannisport, MA, and Bob went to
dancing school there as a child with young Bobby Kennedy. Bob’s wife, Elaine, opines that Bob didn’t exactly master dancing. Straight out of high school, Bob enlisted in the Navy in 1945 and served as a hospital corpsman stateside through the end of World War II. He joined the wave of veterans enrolling at Ohio State, where he and Elaine both graduated in 1951. He then earned a Masters in Divinity from Boston University in 1954. The Hibbards spent their early married life in Great Britain, where Bob held university fellowships at Oxford and Edinburgh. Back in the states, Bob completed a Ph.D at Boston University in 1957, taught theology and philosophy at the college level, and then entered the pastoral ministry back in Ohio. While a minister, he studied with a cellist with the Cleveland Orchestra and took master classes with Mstislav Rostropovich and Yo Yo Ma. At retirement, the Hibbards moved to Aiken in 1992 to enjoy their 3 children and 6 grandchildren, music, and travel. Bob has been active in Rotary since they moved South. Bob finished his talk with a sermonette, quoting anonymous wisdom: “But the grandest thing, next to the radiance that flows from the Almighty Throne, is the light of a noble and beautiful life, wrapping itself in benediction around the destinies of men, and finding its home in the bosom of the everlasting God.”

OWEN CLARY’S CART CHALLENGE
By Stan Smith
Owen Clary donated $100 to the CART
fund in July and committed to donate
an additional $10 for each club
member who followed his lead during
the first quarter. His challenge was a
tremendous success and resulted in
23 special donations ranging from $50
to $1000 and totaling $3290. Many thanks to Owen for
the challenge and to those of you who responded. Likely
all of us have felt the impact of Alzheimer’s on family or
friends and in some way have already benefited from the
progress of research to date. Keep the donations coming
and remember that CART Fund by-laws require that 100%
funds donated go to research.
CART FUND
FOR SEPTEMBER
$1,160.50 LIZ STEWART CLOSES OUT CART
MATCH WITH $1,OOO DONATION
October 1st was the last
day for making donations
in the Owen Clary CART
Challenge and it was
closed out with a BANG!
Liz Stewart citing her
family difficulties with the disease, made a
$1,000 donation to the fund. Thank you so much
for your generosity and support of the Club’s
CART effort, Liz.
SENATOR GRAHAM VISITS CLUB
Our Club had the
honor of a visit from
our U.S. Senator,
Lindsey Graham.
Senator Graham’s
comments centered
on the closing of
waste tanks at the SRS and the accomplishments
there in the area of safety and efficiency. He
said that it was through community support that
helped him to be
successful in the U.S.
Senate in getting the
waste tanks closed.
He also made
comments about
deepening our ports,
and the impending controversy over the
approval of a federal budget. The Senator was
in town to officiate at a ceremony at the SRS.
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
TEN YEARS AGO - OCTOBER 2002 The three Aiken Clubs (now only two)
were collaborating on the dictionary project to see that every child in the third grade in the Aiken County schools had a dictionary to take home with them. As usual we were meeting on a Saturday morning in Steve Black's Screen Print factory to complete the project. We were attaching a copy of the four way test inside each book. (Now ten years later we are continuing this worthwhile project). OUR PAST - FROM "THE GEAR" OCTOBER 1992 In October as usual we were meeting at the Albert George Memorial Park at the Vocational Rehab Center for our annual Bar-b-que there. Our Club had established and developed the park in 1984 in memory of Charter member and long time Rotarian, Albert George. The park was built on the site of the old George family farm. We honored at those meeting outstanding graduates of the Voc rehab program. HISTORICAL NOTES AND FACTS Thirty years ago in our "Gear" several Rotarians were mentioned. (You may or may not recall some of these old Rotarian names who were active in our Club then {and perhaps now}). Names like: Charlie Hubbard, McDonald Law, Bob Lominick, Raleigh Daniel, Malcolm Dailey, Don Bowen, Jim Satcher, Ken French, Tom Cofer, Jim Lambright, Dan Bacot, Bill Howell, Bob Kenney, and Gary Anderson. The question was asked in the 1982 "Gear": Are you a RINO? (Rotarian In Name Only)!
