When we got back from the Symposium, we went straight into our Annual Legislative Day at the Statehouse grounds. This year’s event was truly a success, thanks to all of the schools that participated and our guest legislators. Then we are busy compiling all of our information from our Annual Spring Symposium. This year’s event was truly remarkable with all of the time and effort dozens of volunteers gave. With over 200 participants and 30 workshops, some say this was our best event, yet. Later in this issue you can see all of the social workers who were honored, and a special thanks to all those who donated so many items. Most of all the Chapter is busy ending its fiscal year. We are very proud to say that we not only stayed within budget, but we exceeded many of our revenue categories. That does not happen by accident. It takes a team of dedicated board members, committees, and staff to ensure that we are being fiscally responsible. By reviewing our activities, we were able to identify several areas where the Chapter could reduce spending. One way to do that is through the use of technology. We are moving more and more of our information to our website at www.scnasw.org. If you have not been there in a while, please visit and check out some of our new features. We have a Legislative Action Center under the Advocacy section, and each committee has its own web page to share information. We are excited about this new endeavor and hope you will come to enjoy it as well. With all of our year end activities, we do begin to focus on a new beginning with the transition of our Board of Directors. Every year part of the board rotates off while new members are elected. Board members serve a two year term, except for our student representatives who serve a one year term. It is an exciting time for the Chapter as new people bring fresh ideas and renewed energy. Please join me in welcoming our newest board members who are listed on the front page. As always, thank you for this opportunity to serve you, the Chapter’s members. It is your vision that drives this profession into the future. SC NASW Chapter Update 2006 July/AugustJuly/August 2006 PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Greetings! As I begin my term as President of NASW-SC, let me thank each of you for entrusting this responsibility to me and tell you that your continued support and encouragement are solicited and welcomed. I want all social workers to exercise a new level of commitment to our organization. This is our Chapter and it is only as good as we collectively make it. We each have a responsibility to ensure that NASW-SC is the best it can be! I hope that we all work for growth and development in this Chapter, that we learn to disagree without being disagreeable, and that we practice with each other a skill that is paramount in the social work profession—effective communication! Please contact me with any ideas or concerns you have about the Chapter and I will be glad to listen. If there are members that want to work on projects, committees or volunteer to assist the Chapter in any capacity, let me hear from you. As I close this address, I am sharing with you something that was sent to me via internet so I am not sure who the original author is. Remember five simple rules to be happy: 1. Free your heart from hatred. 2. Free your mind from worries. 3. Live simply. 4. Give more. 5. Expect less. Let’s have a great year and let everyone know you are a Social Worker! Evelyn Wardlaw, LISW-CP&AP President NASW, SC Chapter Welcome to the new Board members. Serving as a representative for the social work organization whose primary mission is to enhance the professional growth and development of its members is a great responsibility and we appreciate each one of you for your willingness to serve. I am looking forward to working with each of you and the new energy and ideas each of you bring. Many thanks to Mary Bolt, former Western Unit Chair, and the staff at White Oak Manor in Spartanburg for hosting the Board for our transitional meeting. Your hospitality was wonderful, and we are truly grateful. Thanks to Brenda Hyleman, past president, and Board members who recently completed their term of office on the Board for all the work you provided to NASW-SC and to the social work profession. Just a reminder that completing your term on the Board does not mean you are not needed to continue working on behalf of the chapter. Let me know what you want to do next! July/August 2006 July/August 2006 SC NASW Chapter Update SC NASW Chapter Update 3 3 Dr. Leon Ginsberg Carolina Distinguished Professor University of South Carolina NASW Gold Card Member Checking information before assuming its correctness is something academic types know is important—but sometimes forgotten. In the early 1960’s, when I began teaching at the University of Oklahoma, the director of the School of Social Work told me that he was the second Ph.D. graduate of the University of Minnesota School—and that the first was Whitney M. Young, Jr., the legendary former president of NASW and the National Urban League. This year, while working with the Clark Atlanta University School of Social Work, which is named for Young, I conveyed that information to the Clark Atlanta dean who said he had never heard Young earned a doctorate and was fairly certain I was wrong. A few days later, I was visiting with the director of the Minnesota School. She confirmed I was incorrect. There is a plaque honoring Dr. Young at the entrance to their building because his achievements were among social work’s greatest. He earned their MSW, but not a doctorate. My forty year old “fact” was shattered. Not checking facts and credentials can have tragic consequences. A good friend in the psychology department at Oklahoma was one of the smartest—on all sorts of subjects—people I’ve ever known. Then someone discovered, a few years into his appointment, that my friend had never finished his doctoral degree, (coincidentally, also at Minnesota) although he and his friends claimed he had. He lost his job and ended his life. Closer to home and the present, two South Carolina schools hired a teacher who not only believed in slavery but spouted his views in the classroom. An Internet check showed he was a longtime racist. There is a growing body of legends about former president Bill Clinton. I once read an account by someone who was traveling with Clinton and who noted that the president completed New York Times crossword puzzles in ink—quite a brilliant achievement, unless one knows what days’ puzzles he completed. The Sunday Times puzzles 4 4 are exceptionally difficult for all but the most capable crossword fans. However, the Monday and Tuesday puzzles are easy. (eight letters for the clue “bought” with the answer “paid for,” for example) No doubt that Clinton is exceptionally intelligent but the puzzle story may be a myth. What’s the truth about gasoline prices? We’ve heard all sorts of things, from price-gouging by oil companies to increased petroleum consumption in China and India; but, how much is attributable to the refineries that were destroyed in Katrina? Will Ethanol really substitute and provide cleaner energy? Maybe, but how much petroleumbased fertilizer is needed to grow all that corn? What about coal and natural gas, of which the U. S. seems to have more than it can use, by turning them into some of the uses for which oil is the basic commodity? In all of this, what about global warming, which more and more experts agree is a coming disaster? Somehow, in the flood of information that comes with the Internet, inexpensive publishing, twenty-four hour news, and hundreds of television channels, lack of information, misinformation, and plain misrepresentation are rampant. The scandals of plagiarized books—one of the most recent by a Harvard undergraduate student—and phony credentials continue to be reported. More and more universities now require faculty applicants to submit transcripts, proving they have the degrees they claim or signed statements attesting that applicants have the achievements they list in their credentials. Anyone who has an e-mail account knows that hundreds of phony offers and schemes to steal their identities come across every week. Perhaps skepticism, in the midst of massive information, is demanded by the times. What we hear, read, and see just may not be what it initially appears to be. SC NASW Chapter Update 2006 July/AugustJuly/August 2006 Government Affairs, NASW-SC Chapter Committee News The committee is currently recruiting new volunteers due to vacancies caused by job transfers and graduations! If you are interested in participating on a committee that actively monitors current legislation, advocates for specific legislation, and facilitates the annual NASW-SC Legislative Day—you are invited to join us. Social workers are responsible for empowering others and advocating on their behalf. The Government Affairs Committee serves as the information source for legislation that effects those we serve. The committee will soon be selecting the Legislative Agenda for the upcoming year. If you are interested in serving on this committee, please contact Jeri Ross-Hayes at J59H@prtcnet.com SC NASW ADVOCACY - WEB SITE NEWS Have you visited the web site Advocacy page lately? If not, there will soon be an opportunity waiting for you to engage in dialogue with others about current social/legislative issues in South Carolina. There will be current topics/information posted & you are invited to express your opinion, share your knowledge, and ask questions about these topics. If you have any topic/information for discussion that you would like to see posted on the Advocacy page - please contact Jeri Ross-Hayes at J59H@prtcnet.com or 864-230-2936. The NASW-SC Government Affairs Committee tries to support and share legislative activities/bills, etc. that are important to social workers and the population they serve. The goal of this venture is to engage social workers in learning and sharing information that will effect positive change in South Carolina. Dear NASW Member: PACE Fundraising Appeal $20.06 for 2006! In 2006, many important electoral races, that could decide the future of social welfare in South Carolina, will be decided.

Help reach our goal. Contact the Chapter at (803) 256-8406 to donate. Checks and credit cards accepted. The 2006 general election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 7.

Thank you July/August July/August2006 2006 SC NASW Chapter Update 55 In Memoriam Mrs. Sarah Norwood Campbell, mother of Sallie Campbell, age 79, died May 15, 2006, in MUSC Medical Center in Charleston. Mrs. Campbell was born August 7, 1926, in Bennettsville, SC. She was a 1947 graduate of Converse College. She was a true social worker, retired from 30 years of state service as a supervisor at Chesterfield County Department of Social Services. Sarah Norwood Campbell served on the State Foster Care Review Board for 6 or more years, helped start the Genealogical Society in Chesterfield, worked to build and manage the Day Care at St. Paul United Methodist Church and helped start the Local Mission Fund at St. Paul United Methodist Church. This fund was started to help local families who fell between the cracks in our state systems. Sarah also started "Operation Christmas Joy" for Chesterfield County foster children and made sure that all children received gifts on Christmas morning. She did this for years during employment and continued for about 15 years after she retired. Mrs. Campbell received the William Duke Craig Lifetime Community Service Award in 1999, presented by the Greater Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce for outstanding service to the Chesterfield Community. Annie Willis passed away in April 2006. She was an active NASW member, a teacher at Asheville College and Tulane University, worked at the Spartanburg Mental Health Clinic for 34 years, and had a private practice. She was a Charter member in 1968, and served on the SC Board of Social Work Registration. Her dedication to the profession was unmistakable, and she will truly be missed. A. Professional Ethics for Managers and Supervisors Ethical dilemmas facing macro social workers are somewhat different from those facing direct service workers; they are nonetheless urgent and real. This workshop will provide a safe environment in which supervisors and managers may share ideas about solutions to common ethical problems that come with leadership. B. Professional Ethics: The Guiding Light Human service professionals are vulnerable to a wide range of ethical pitfalls. This workshop will give an overview of dilemmas in professional ethics and provide guidelines for ethical decision-making and ethical risk management. Workshop Location: © C.

This year’s Spring Symposium was an enormous success thanks to the many volunteer hours of the Symposium Committee, the Chapter staff, and the numerous businesses that contributed to this event. This three day workshop offered over 30 workshops, all 20 CEUs, and the opportunity to hear national speakers from AARP and the National Association of Social Workers. With over 200 registrants and dozens of speakers, this year’s conference was one to remember. As usual, SC NASW recognized several outstanding social workers in a variety of categories. The award winners are listed below. Public Citizen of the Year– Etu Evans A social worker from SC State, Evans founded Solesville, a not-for-profit organization, providing today's youth with quality footwear to help enhance their professional attire. By doing this Evans hopes to strengthen their academic and creative endeavors by "saving soles one day at a time." Evan’s was nominated to recognize his continued dedication to the field of mental health, while working with today’s vulnerable youth, while in a Super Star status and most recently in the midst of finishing his 500 piece line for upcoming European Shows. Legislator of the Year-Rep. Joseph H. Neal Joe Neal has traditionally supported social work interests and values. He is a strong environmentalist who has voted for legislation for clean air, water and proper land usage. Rep. Neal also is a strong supporter of women’s rights issues. Social Worker of the Year-Janice G. Wells Dr. Jan Wells, LISW, has been an active member of Volunteer Leadership of the NASW SC Chapter since 1996, serving as Catawba Unit Chair on the Board of Directors. In recent years, Dr. Wells Chaired the Chapter Committee on Nominations and Leadership Identification. Dr. Wells is dedicated to her profession and the future of her students. Leon Ginsberg International Student of the Year-Vivian Castro A native of Ecuador Castro is an advocate for a national health system in her home country. When she returns she will also try to implement social programs to assist its less fortunate citizens, such as government breakfast and lunch programs and free medicine. Her experience in the US has taught her how to lead social movements and help eradicate social injustice. Friend of the Chapter-Leon Ginsberg, PhD Dr. Ginsberg has been a long-time supporter of the SC Chapter and NASW National Office. In 1990 he served as a National Board member and began writing his column, Leon’s Line, in the Chapter Update which continues until today. In 1999, Dr. Ginsberg received the NASW International Rhoda G. Sarnat Award from the National Office. From this, the NASW - SC Chapter International Student Annual Award was born out of the generosity of Dr. Leon Ginsberg's sharing his monetary award with the Chapter. It was for the above and many other special situations where Dr. Ginsberg supported the Chapter that the current Chapter Staff chose Leon Ginsberg, PhD as the 2006 Special Friend of the Chapter. BSW Student of the Year Fatina J. Lorick MSW Student of the Year Tamica Doby July/August July/August2006 2006 SC NASW Chapter Update 77 In addition to the continued education and professional development opportunities, the SC NASW Spring Symposium would not be complete without recognition of the outstanding work and commitment of social workers during the Gold Card Reception. This year the reception was also the venue for the Silent Auction. The Silent Auction was made possible by the generous donations from area businesses and individuals. Thank you to the donors, listed below, and the bidders who made the auction a success!

Social Workers, ministries, and family counselors can now receive a free list of national help hotlines, to help families in financial trouble. CareConnect USA has designed the list as a handy insert for dayplanners and resource books. “My heart breaks for my clients in a financial crisis. I always I wish I could do more,” says Joan Wall, a family therapist. “It’s difficult to focus on behavioral issues when clients are beleaguered with money troubles. If I can help a family reduce their monthly bills, or catch up missed payments, I can provide more effective counseling.” Designed as an insert for dayplanners used extensively by counselors, the hotline list is a quick reference for financial assistance and relief. “The ease of accessibility makes it the perfect tool,” says Ruth Hoskins a social worker specializing in critical incident and stress management. ”Now when I have a client with money troubles, I can refer to my list in a snap. I try to mention the hotlines at all my trainings.” It’s no secret that people with money problems, are often headed for other troubles. According to Reeta Wolfsohn, CMSW, founder of the Center for Financial Social Work, financial circumstances significantly impact emotional stability. Men and women with debt, or no/low assets, are at far greater risk for work and relationship problems, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, abuse and divorce. The resource is one more tool to bridge the gap between need and help. NATIONAL FAMILY RELIEF HOTLINES Child Support Enforcement Hotline ……(DHHS) …………………………...
