Kathy Hunter, LMSW
Executive Director, SC NASW
At SC NASW these past few months are what we call
our “down time”; but, there is nothing slow at our office. 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.

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!

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.

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.

2006 SC NASW Spring Symposium a Huge Success!
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.

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!

Agency Arms Counselors with Hotlines for Families in Financial Crisis
Waxhaw, NC- April 13, 2006. 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.
