On the evening of Saturday, July 16, I got a call that terribly saddened my heart. The Town of Anderson lost a great man with the passing of F.D. Calhoun, at the age of 87. At one time, the Town of Anderson was an incorporated town from April 2, 1983 to April 7, 1984. F.D. served as Mayor of Anderson during that time. The Town of Anderson was re-incorporated in January of 1995 when John Freeman was elected Mayor and F.D. served as an Alderman under him until Mr. Freeman stepped down in 2003.

With grass fires popping up daily - the need for our community to be smart and diligent is at its highest. Over the past 2 weeks volunteer fire departments across the county have responded to fire after fire and almost every one of them have been careless burning by individuals. Your trash and brush piles can wait, especially when we are facing extreme risks.

Almighty God, we need rain. We realize now, looking into the clear, blue sky above, what a marvel even the least drop of rain really is. To think that so much water can fall out of the sky, which now is empty and clear! We place our trust in You. We are sure that You know our needs, but You want us to ask You anyway, to show You that we know we are dependent on You. Look on our dry hills and fields, dear God, and bless them with the living blessing of soft rain. Then the land will rejoice, and the rivers will sing Your praises and the hearts of men will be glad. Amen.
