World War II codebreaker

WAGENER — Mabel Garvin Crawford, who died Thursday,
June 17, 2010, was one of the last of her kind – a U.S. Navy
veteran who ran the decryption machines that
cracked Axis command’s encoded messages to
their troops in World War II.
Crawford was one of about 250 female Navy
codebreakers who worked from dawn to dusk
decoding intercepted German messages at a converted building on the Hunter College campus in
Washington, D.C.
The codebreakers’ work was kept top secret for
50 years after the war, and the veterans could not

National Security Agency issued all the veterans the Exceptional
Service Award in September of 1995.
Widowed young during her second year of marriage in 1941,

Mayor Odell Weeks, who encouraged her to join the military. She

group of us to Channel 6 television station
in Augusta to be on Top 10 Dance Party.
I don’t recall how many couples participated; it seemed like 100 people at the
time. I remember that we practiced for
several weeks so that we could shag, waltz
and maybe cha cha without too much
embarrassment.
I have told Davis more than once that
he is the gentleman that taught me how to

Davis was not married at that time, and

the other students – a male friend who
delighted in being aggravating – pushed
my instrument, the baritone horn, into my
face and split my lip.
I got up and slapped and scratched that
devil as much as I could, hence the name
Tiger. I remember the band teacher, Mrs.
Nancy Salley, told the other student that he
got what he deserved and maybe he would
learn to leave me alone.
Ironically, years later, I taught with
Davis’ wife Betty for many years at A.L.
Corbett Middle School, and I also had the
great pleasure of teaching their son, Davie,
when he was in the eighth grade.

adults who had such a positive influence
on my life.

All-County Orchestra with ALCMS students included as part of the orchestra is shown.
The ALCMS strings students earned an
opportunity to participate in the 2010 AllCounty Orchestra Festival held at the USCA
Etherredge Center.
Students in sixth, seventh and eighth grades
participated in an all day clinic, then performed that evening for the general public.
Instructors were teachers from Augusta and
performers in various symphony organizations.
Students selected for the All-County clinic
and performance were eighth-graders Marita
Edenfield, Michael Bolton, Angelica Russell,
Ryan Brown and Tiffany Mauldin; seventhgraders Johniya Bynem and Shequavia Tyler;
and sixth-graders Braxton Lewis, Brandon
Jacobs, McCoy Martin, Marshall Lowe, Kesean Hudson, John Ables and Emily Cruthers.
They all earned the opportunity to participate
in this selective group.
Mrs. Claire Thower is the teacher at
ALCMS and served as chaperone during
the day while they were in clinics with guest
instructors.
The ALCMS strings program began as a
club six years ago with Title I funding. Strings
(including violin, viola, cello, and bass) is now
taught two periods each day.
Research supports that academics improve
when students have exposure and involvement
in music and other creative arts.

endeavors. You are
about to embark on a whole new life.
Therefore, I’m not going to tell you that
it’s not going to be easy, but with God’s
grace and His everlasting mercy you will
make it. It’s going to take a lot of sacrificing and hard work. Yes, you will experience
some minor as well major setbacks, but you
will have to prevail and keep striving forward and grab hold to what you believe in
and pursue it with all your might.
I know many of you thought that you
would not make it to this point, but you did.
God has a plan for your life. It is up to you
to live your life according to His plan in
order for you to receive all of the fullness.
Graduates, you will control your own
destiny by the choices you make each and
every day. Some of the choices you make
will have an immediate impact; others will
have an impact days or even weeks later.
However, the choices you make today will
have an enormous impact on your life.
Make up in your mind today that you are
the one to set the new goals. Be the one to
say, “I made it in spite of all of the obstacles
I had to overcome.”
Not only will God open doors for you,
but he will also go through them with you
because He promises to never leave your
side. When you are feeling a weight on your
shoulders, it is Him making you stronger,
preparing you for the next level of your life.
I pray that God will continue to keep and
bless you in every way. I believe in you, but
first, you must believe in yourself.
Do not allow anyone to impose limitations on your life. If you think that you cannot do something, you never will. The battle
is in your mind.
If you are defeated in your mind, you’ve
already lost the battle. If you do not think
your dreams will ever come true, they never
will. If you do not think you have what it
takes to rise up and set new goals, it’s not
going to happen.
Develop an eagle mentality and soar
high above all of negative forces that may
stand against you. Walk in faith; your future
awaits you.

It hasn’t always been that people have had a choice as to who cleans, x-rays,
and drills holes in their teeth. The world of dentistry has improved by leaps and
bounds in the past few decades, and now your dentist can be a friend and ally
for you and your gorgeous smile.
Choosing a dentist who is right for you should be based on more than just
how many questions they ask you while their hand is in your mouth. A good
place to start on your hunt for a quality dentist is location.
Accessibility is very important when searching for a person you will be
seeing (hopefully!) on a semi-annual basis. It is a good idea to look for a
dentist who is located in close proximity to your home or ofce and that you
feel comfortable commuting to their ofce. In addition to location, their hours
of operation must t in with your schedule.
The specics for nding the right dentist to suit your special dental or health
needs will vary from patient to patient and should be addressed individually
with your dentist prior to your rst appointment. Professionalism will be a top
priority to a quality dentist, so don’t be afraid to ask about their policies and
procedures concerning patients with phobias or other dental difculties.
If you have dental insurance, your rst priority should be to check to see if
your potential dentist accepts your plan. Dental insurance and co-pays will
function differently across the board, so it is important to discuss payment
matters up front, before you schedule your rst appointment.
The rst appointment with a new dentist should be a trial run. Personality
is a huge contender in who you end up saying “aaah” for, so if you don’t feel
comfortable after the rst appointment, start looking for someone else.
This includes the staff at the ofce as well, from the dental hygienists to the
administrative assistants. Your dentist’s ofce should be a place where you feel
safe and well taken care of, so don’t underestimate the importance
of friendly and helpful service across the board.
Don’t sell your pearly whites short. Choose a dentist who makes you
smile today.

time June 5-6. Bryson’s team
won the Swinney Ball Championship for rising second-,
third- and fourth-graders.
They had a blast learning
drills and working on fundamentals. They also got to
work with the Clemson coaching staff, meet past and present players and tour the Clemson football athletic facilities.
The July Artist of the Month for the
Wagener Hometown Celebrations Calendar
is Fantasia Chandler. She
is 18 years old and attended Wagener-Salley High
School.
Fantasia was an honor
graduate and marched
proudly with the WagenerSalley Class of 2010 on
Friday, June 4.
She plans to major in
Chandler
nursing at UNC Charlotte
and recieve her graduate’s degree from UNC
Chapel Hill North Carolina.
“I chose the Wagener Pavilion because
it is a place where people gather and celebrate,” she said. “It is a place where the
citizens of Wagener can come at any time
and enjoy each other. It is also the place
where many celebrations are held. I chose
the month of July due to the fact that, in
July, the fireworks show is held at the pavilion. The pavilion’s structure makes it easy
to sit down and look at the sky while enjoying the festivities. We always attend the
fireworks show, and I enjoy seeing the sky
light up every year. My favorite celebration
is the fireworks show because even though
the starry sky is already beautiful, the addition of color and sparkle makes it more
spectacular.”
“Drawing is a hobby that keeps me sane,”
she added. “It is one way that I express my
feelings and get away from the world. It
helps me through stressful situations and
will allow me to get away from all the hard
work that comes with college. I also enjoy
playing my violin, babysitting and tutoring. I do not participate in activities like the
Wagener Calander just for fun; I do it to
share the talent with which God blessed me.
My desires is for others to share the joy I
feel when they see the artwork I create.”

Legal Questions? We Have Answers
What should I do if I am involved
in a trafc accident?
First and foremost, seek medical attention if warranted.
Once your well-being and that of your fellow accident
victims have been evaluated and stabilized, you should
collect important information from those involved in the
accident.
What should I do if I have been
charged with a crime?
If you have been charged with a crime or fear you may
be charged, the longer you wait to retain an attorney, the
more difcult your case could be. Serious legal problems
require the advice, support, experience, and knowledge of
a lawyer.
What are my rights as a
worker?
If you’ve been injured on the job, you are entitled do a
certain amount of compensation from your employer:
• An injured worker may have the right to receive benets
• An injured worker has the right to receive medical care
• An injured worker has the right to hire an attorney
• An injured worker has the right to condentiality

Head Start students take part in Moving Up Ceremony
On May 26 at noon, the Moving Up
Ceremony was held for students who were
moving on to 5K.
This Moving Up Ceremony did not follow traditional graduations. This was due to
the fact that the children have been taught
to respect various cultures. The theme was
“aloha nui loa, ohana and aloha” which
means “much love, family and farewell.”
The stage had a Hawaiian luau look with
tropical trees, parrots, etc.
The children put on a great show by
reciting speeches, poems, even danced to
the Macarena. Parents were surprised by
the advancement of their children’s education. Special awards were given to three
volunteers: Ms. Barbara Garvin, Ms. Irma
and Ms. Randle who had more than 200
service hours (each) at the school.
The graduates from Salley Head-Start
were the following:
• Ms. Thomas/Ms. Cannon’s class:
Michel Cary, Napoleon Elmore Jr., Trinity Frazier, Kileigh Gilbert, Montrell
Haltiwanger, Paisley Hammonds, JaNyah
Hooper, Chyna James, Micheal James,
David Myers, Anijah Phillips, Joe Rouse,
III, Paige Strang, Mariah Stroman, Israel
Tyler and Kaylyn Tyler.
• Mrs. Hall/Ms. Chandler-Guyton’s
Class: Princess Frazier, Nykeria Garvin,

Annual Water Quality Report for 2009 • Town of Wagener, South Carolina • System No. 0210004 • June 30, 2010
The Town of Wagener is pleased to present this year’s Annual Water Quality Report. This report is intended to transmit important information about the drinking water provided by the Town to its customers. Our
goal is to provide all of our customers with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. This report shows our water quality and what it means.
The Town of Wagener utilizes ground water as its sole source of water. The Town is supplied by three wells that draw water from an underground aquifer. One of the wells is located near the old elevated water
storage tank in downtown Wagener. It is known as the Pickens Street Well. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) identies the well as source number B02002. The
second well is located across from the Wagener Fire Station along S.C. Highway 39. It is known as the Fire Station Well. It is identied by SCDHEC as source number B02001. The third well is located on Staley
Road near Crescent Cities Park. It is known as the Staley Road Well. It is identied by SCDHEC as source number B02003.
Source Water Assessment Plans were completed for public water systems in South Carolina in 2003. The primary goal of a Source Water Assessment Plan is to identify potential sources of contamination to drinking
water supplies. The Source Water Assessment Plan for the Town of Wagener is available for your review at www.scdhec.net/water/html/srcewtr.html. If you do not have internet access, please contact Mr. R. Scott
Neely at (803) 564-3412 to make arrangements to review this document.
Federal legislation requires each public water system to produce an annual consumer condence report. The report you are reading was prepared in compliance with that requirement. The reporting requirement
was instituted to educate the public about the quality of water that is produced by each water system. As part of the education process, the report highlights any contaminants found in the system’s water during the
previous calendar year. The report is also intended to inform the public about potential health effects of any contaminants that may have been detected.
If you have any questions about this report or your water utility, please contact the following person: Mayor Mike Miller, Wagener Town Hall, P.O. Box 400, Wagener, SC 29164. Mr. Miller can also be reached
by telephone at (803) 564-3412. We want our customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled Town Council meetings. The Wagener Town
Council meets on the rst Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. The meetings are held at the Wagener Municipal Center.
The Town of Wagener is subject to state and federal laws that require routine monitoring of drinking water. The monitoring is designed to detect any contaminants that may exist in the water. The table below
indicates which contaminants were detected in our water last year (January 1 – December 31, 2009). Additionally, we have presented information concerning several contaminants that were not monitored last year.
The most recent monitoring results available for those constituents were used to prepare the table. It is important to remember that the presence of these contaminants does not necessarily pose a health risk.
Denitions
In the following table you will nd many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms we have provided the following denitions:
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service
lines and home plumbing. The Town of Wagener is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting
for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by ushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your drinking
water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing
methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water
Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. We are proud that your drinking water
meets or exceeds all federal and state requirements. We have learned through our monitoring and
testing that some constituents have been detected. The EPA has determined that your water IS SAFE
at these levels.
All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by substances that are naturally
occurring or man made. These substances can be microbes, inorganic or organic chemicals and
radioactive substances. All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected
to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not
necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and
potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe
Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
MCLs are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many
regulated constituents, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for
a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.
Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who
have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some
elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice
about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to
lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available
from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline 1-800-426-4791.
Copies of this report will not be mailed to individual customers. Complimentary copies are available
at the Wagener Town Hall during normal business hours.
The Town of Wagener constantly strives to improve the quality of water provided to our customers.
Please call the Wagener Town Hall if you have any questions about this report (803-564-3412). We
will do our best to keep you informed about the quality of your drinking water.
R144203•063010
Non-Detects (ND) – laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present.
Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (!g/l) – one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.
Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) – one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000.
Maximum Contaminant Level – the “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available
treatment technology.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal – the “Goal” (MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) – picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water.
RAA – running annual average.
Action Level (AL) – the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) – the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial
contaminants.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) – the level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reect the benets of the use of
disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.

ship. The couple remained close and eventually married after returning home from the
hospital.
As of 1999, there were about 135 codebreakers still living, but the numbers have
dwindled to almost nothing. As of last
December, there were three still living
including Crawford, but one died in April,
and the remaining codebreaker has taken up
residence in a nursing home; the Cryptological Association is unable to get any information on her current status, Sharpe said.
“After 1995, she talked at the schools
around here, and she joined the V.F.W. and
the D.A.V. and could talk to them about the
things they did during the war,” said Sharpe.
“She thought she had saved the world, her
and those girls. She thought if they hadn’t
done that job, the Germans would have
taken over the United States, and who
knows? They might have.”

served from 1941 to 1942 as a cryptologist,
using one machine to decode German and
Japanese cyphers and another machine to
relay the intercepted messages to U.S. military command.
Although the codebreakers weren’t on the
front lines, the job wasn’t without its own
hazards. The facility was kept completely
secure, with all windows bricked over and a
Marine guard checkpoint at every entrance
and exit. The codebreakers could not enter or
leave during the day and could speak of their
work to no one outside the building’s walls.
The generators for the code machines – giant
proto-computers – left most of the codebreakers hard of hearing, the 2-mile walk
back to the barracks made them susceptible
to frostbite and the intense secrecy and stress
left many of them with heart trouble, according to Crawford’s nephew, Charles Sharpe.
“Mabel signed up for the military and
got on the Greyhound bus for training in
New York with just the dress and sandals
she had on. She got frostbite, and one of her
problems later in life was with her legs from
that,” he said. “She joined the U.S. Navy
Cryptological Association and kept up with
the others after 1995, and she said every
one of those girls came out with hearing
problems, and every one of them had had
open heart surgery for problems relating to
the stress of that work. After so much stress,
they were discharged after their tour was
up; some of them wanted to stay in, but the
Navy felt it was no good to them.”
After her discharge in 1942, she spent nine
weeks in a veterans’ hospital, where she met
Herbert Boyd Crawford, a Navy veteran
who was paralyzed in a torpedo attack on his

How to discuss transportation with the elderly
Getting loved ones to agree to give up
the car keys is one of the most challenging
situations that families
will face. When dementia is involved, the situation can be even harder.
Losing the ability to
drive often leads to
decreased social integration, a lack of out-ofhome activities, depression, anxiety, and a fear
of having to leave home
KATHY
permanently. Planning
CRIST
for driving retirement
should occur for all
older adults before their mobility situation
becomes urgent.
What can family members
do?
• Ask family lawyer to discuss financial
and legal implications of crash or injury to
patient, family, or third party.
• Refer to the Department of Motor Vehicles or contact he vehicle insurer.
• Ask physician to “prescribe” driving
cessation orally and in writing.
• Ask physician to use medical conditions other than dementia as the reason to
stop driving (eg, vision too impaired, reaction time too slow).
• Use a contract such as “At the Crossroads” – Some families have decided to
Supply pastor to stay at

Livingston has agreed to stay with us for

disable the vehicle or not repair the car or
send vehicle for “repairs” but arrange for
its removal.
• Locate a driver rehabilitation specialist. These specialists are often occupational
therapists with additional training in driver
evaluation, vehicle modification, and rehabilitation, but they also may be trained in
physical therapy and psychology.
How do you have the
conversation?
• If the loved one becomes angry when
told that he or she should no longer be
driving, allow time for “ventilation” or dissipation of anger.
• Communication should be in a sensitive and respectful manner.
• Comments such as “we can agree to
disagree” or “let’s assess your dementia
over time and see how the new medication
works” may defuse a potentially emotional
situation.
What are the alternatives
for transportation?
• A social worker may assist with identifying community transportation needs.
You may also contact your Area Agency
on Aging for transportation resources Organizations such as Right at Home are available to assist families with these issues.
Whether going to church, grocery shop-
ping, doctor’s appointment or any other
errands, Right at Home can help.
Right at Home prefers to drive the client’s vehicle, but also will drive the clients
in the caregiver’s car.
The big advantage to using Right at
Home over a taxi or public transportation is
that the caregiver assists the client into and
out of the vehicle, accompanies the client
in the doctor’s office and carries groceries.
Having Right at Home involved not
only gives the client mobility to leave their
home but also increases their ability to
remain in their home as long as possible.
Right at Home provides in home care
and assistance to the elderly and disabled.
They serve Columbia and Richmond
counties in Georgia with an office in
downtown Augusta.
Right at Home also serves Aiken,
Barnwell, Edgefield and McCormick
counties in South Carolina with offices in
Aiken and North Augusta.

BRIAN
WATTS
Crime is on the rise,
priests are raping children, pollution’s in the
air
From diseases, hunger, pain, wars are
everywhere
There’s drugs and chemicals in our rivers, politicians are getting busted
Might drink the water and hurt your
liver, lies from people we trusted
Mothers of hungry children, day by day
they cry
Their children dying of aids, our government watching them die
Winds are so much stronger, rivers on
the rise
I sit and watch everything happen, tears
in my eyes
There are families losing children to a
war we shouldn’t be in
From drugs and drinkin’ to sex and violence, a world full of sin
If you have time today, go outside and
look
Feed someone thats hungry, read those
Words from God’s book
We can’t keep going on like this – living
in fear
You can read it in the Bible my friend
and know the end is near
So read these words that came to me and
let God come in
There isn’t much time to change, God
will help you in the end.
Encouragement to grads
On behalf of Berlin Baptist Church and
the other churches in our community, we
want to congratulate all of our graduates!
We share your excitement and pledge to pray
for you as you face an
uncertain future.
Right now, many of
you are facing decisions
that will impact your life
forever. I would encourage you to seek godly
wisdom and trust God
with your future. He will
not let you down.
TOMMY
As a matter of fact, if
HUDDLESTON
you choose to seek God’s
direction for your life, He will make His will
known to you. His way may be different
than what you want, but it will be the best.
In Jeremiah 29:11, God makes an encouraging revelation to all who put their trust in
Him: “For I know the plans I have for you,
says the Lord, plans of peace and not of evil,
to give you a future and a hope.”
As you review the names and faces of
the graduates in this month’s paper, I’m
sure there will be a sense of pride in their
achievements. Each face represents someone’s child, grandchild, sibling, friend, student, etc.
It is hard to put into words what it feels
when a name is called and a diploma given.
The graduate is usually overwhelmed with
appreciation for all who invested in the journey. Let them know!
Whether you graduated “cum laude” or
like me, “thank you lawdy,” this community
is very proud of you and those who helped
you accomplish such a high achievement.
You have something no one can take from
you.
Receiving a diploma is not a guarantee of
fame and fortune. It is just another step in the
school of learning. Please never stop learning. If you do, you will cheat yourself and
others from the difference you can make.
Graduation is a time to celebrate your
achievement, prepare for future opportunities, and face the challenge of changing the
world. At times, the road will be rocky and
life will seem unfair, but with God’s grace
and direction you can be and accomplish
everything He has for you.
Psalm 32:8 says, “I will instruct you and
show you the way to go; with my eye on
you, I will give you counsel.”
To the graduating class of 2010, may
God bless you and may each of you finish
well the journey of life! We are counting on
you!
Congrats!
