((The Senate will come to order.
Strom Thurmond, "I'm here because it's my duty to be here, and I enjoy being here.
The South Carolina Senator would not give up. Even as he was approaching 100 years, he was determined to serve out his term.
As the oldest and longest serving member of the U.S. Senate, he made many records during his service, beginning with his unusual start in
1954. Thurmond was the first person in U.S. history to be voted into A major office by a write-in ballot. Ten years later, the Democrat set a record for the longest filibuster in Senate history. He spoke for 24-hours and 18-minutes against a civil rights bill, a landmark bill which ultimately passed.
Thurmond, "The Democratic party has proved it is no longer independent."
Shortly thereafter, Thurmond switched to the Republican party and gained a reputation as one of its most conservative members. By joining the GOP, the popular Thurmond effectively broke the Democratically controlled south. His southern strategy was credited with helping
Richard Nixon win the 1968 presidential election.
Chapter after chapter of Strom Thurmond's life was dedicated to public service. He began as a teacher, then a state senator and judge before he volunteered to serve in World War 2. Landing in Normandy with the 82nd Airborne Division, Thurmond returned a highly decorated hero. Next, as governor of South Carolina, he made notable improvements education, employment and transportation.
1948
Thurmond even took a respectable stab at the 1948 presidential election, running as the State's Rights candidate.But once he got to the Senate, he stayed.
SWEARING IN, "I do, and always have."
Throughout his life he was a champion of South Carolina. But his legacy may be that he changed the political landscape of the south.

The future of the Henry County school system is beginning to take shape.
Last month, the school board agreed to once again consider closing and consolidating several schools.
Today, the public got a chance to see a number of different plans.

[SUPER=@justin1]
You may remember two years ago Henry County attempted and failed to consolidate several schools.
Strong opposition from the community helped to kill it.
That's why the school board wants to make sure the public is given every opportunity to give its input before a decision is made.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Henry Co./File Tape;]
There are currently four consolidation plans, each with different options.
One would keep four high schools, others would close one or two.
Under each plan, at least three elementary schools will close.
They include Fieldale, Figsboro, and Spencer-Penn.
As far as the middle schools, one option would close all four.
The school board says dwindling enrollment and a loss of 2 1/2 million dollars in local aid in the last two years makes consolidation inevitable.
That is because administrators have already cut several course offerings and eliminated 153 positions.
(------------)
[LIVE= Justin /FULL BAM]
At today's public forum, the public got the chance to speak to school board members and administrators one on one.
They were also given the opportunity to write down suggestions.
The school board will now review them at a workshop scheduled for next Thursday.

In a six to three decision the high court said the government does not have the right to police what kind of sexual activity people engage in in privacy.
It is just what gay rights activists had hoped for.
Four years ago, Houston residents John Lawrence and Tyron Garner never thought they'd wind up in the supreme court when police found the men having sex at Lawrence's apartment.
A neighbor filed a false report of an intruder in the building so police would find the two men.
