Thank you for reading the premiere issue of CWC Life, short for Cayce-West Columbia Life. No matter how we tried, the whole title wouldn’t fit on the cover, so we opted to shorten it to CWC. We’ll publish six months a year to start; the magazine will be delivered to your mailbox every other month. We focus on posi-tive stories, people, and events that occur right here in your own backyard, and welcome your comments and suggestions.

What better way to kick things off than with sto-ries on B-C and Airport football and Lexington Medi-cal Center? My wife Donna and I lived in West Co-lumbia from 1996 until 2001. So much has changed in the past decade. We currently reside in Lexington with our three children, and have published Lexing-ton Life Magazine for nine years and Lake Murray Life Magazine for three years. I have many fond memo-ries of our time in West Columbia. I loved watching football at the old Gooney Birds, and still occasionally make the trek down 378 to pick up my favorite #19 (Hot & Nutty Chicken) at Egg Roll Station.

Please share your story ideas, suggestions for po-tential CWC Leaders, and, if you own or operate a local business, ask about special ad rates to share your message with others for just pennies per household. Your feedback and support is essential to make CWC Life a success for the community.

Everyone in Bill Mooneyhan’s family has always lived in the Cayce-West Columbia area, and he hopes they always will. “My grandfather was the mayor of New Brook-land, and became the first mayor of West Columbia when the name was changed,” he says. “His name was William Price. My other grandfather, Levi Mooneyhan, was Fire Chief and a mill boss in the early 20th century. The rest of us are still here.”

The name of Bill’s father, Bob Mooney-han, rings a bell with sports fans in the area. He played football, was All-State at B-C High, and head coach at both Brookland-Cayce and Airport. He’s now installed in the Hall of Fame at each of these schools.

In 1946, Bill’s uncle Jesse Rish started the business now known as Mooneyhan’s Auto Center. Originally a Gulf station, it grew into a full-service auto repair business, thriving and expanding over the years. His energetic nephew liked to hang around the shop, and from age 14 on made himself use-ful while learning the trade.

Here’s what happened in 1980: a 72-year-old Jesse Rish, who had felt the lack

of a college education all his life, decided to enroll at the University of South Carolina as a student, and his 19-year-old nephew Bill Mooneyhan came on board full time. He’s been there ever since.

Bill’s mother, Ann Price Mooneyhan, graduated from B-C and from Newberry College. She was a schoolteacher, now in-stalled in the Teachers’ Hall of Fame. Then there was Uncle Earl Williams, who was mayor for 25 years, from 1950 to 1975.

Several themes seem to run through the blood of this local family: sports, commu-nity service and politics. Bill Mooneyhan thrives on them all. He is proud to serve on the West Columbia Beautification Commit-tee, pointing out improvements at the Ger-vais Street bridge with landscaping and a welcoming sign. This service ties in with his commitment to the West Columbia Plan-ning Commission.

“We are working on a 10-year plan,” he says. “When we get some fundraising going, we’ll start a West Columbia Museum. Got an eye on some property already. We work on getting grants to make things possible.”

This museum of the future won’t have any trouble acquiring artifacts and memen-toes to exhibit. They can start with the mas-sive collection on display at Mooneyhan’s Auto Center. This guy likes saving things and showing them off. Many photographs of sports teams and personalities from the past, souvenir balls, banners and posters, newspaper clippings, shirts and uniforms, and more — if you’re nostalgic about West Columbia’s past, just drop by and the owner will enjoy giving you a tour.

He has been active in the West Metro Chamber of Commerce for a long time, and now the Homeowners Association at River’s Edge. He says the West Columbia extension of the popular Riverwalk is already funded.

With his wife Laura and their four chil-dren, this family has deep roots in West Co-lumbia. That slender young man on duty at Mooneyhan’s Auto Service? That’s Bill Jr., who’s been there seven years and expects to make it about 50 or 60 more. The three generations of this family serve three gen-erations of customers also. It’s a West Co-lumbia thing. n

In Cayce and West Columbia, Airport and Brookland-Cayce are crosstown rivals who play in the same region. Their traditions collide twice a year with head-to-head contests at the beginning

and end of the season that get their play-ers, coaches and fans even more excited about high school football in our area.

With region play coming up, both teams are entering into the games that decide who will go to the playoffs for a shot at the state championship. Both head coaches are gearing up to get their players ready.

“That’s the goal, to play well in the region,” says Bearcats head coach Rusty Charpia. “This is my third year in a pro-gram that has struggled in the recent past, so every win is gold. We’re taking every game like it’s the region champion-ship — every game is a challenge.”

“We have a tough region,” says Kirk Burnett, head coach of the Airport Ea-gles. “Swansea is good, and B-C is better this year, too. Hopefully we can play our best football the last two months of the season.”

A Winning Attitude at Brookland-Cayce

B-C kicked off the year doing some-thing that had not been done in the last

dozen or more tries: beating their Airport rivals in the opening game. That alone gave Charpia some idea of how the sea-son might unfold, he says.

“We started out the year 3-0, and still don’t know how good we are yet,” Charpia says. “We did beat an Airport team we think is pretty good.” It’s a daily goal to instill that winning attitude, he says.

“The mindset of a program that hasn’t won for a long time is different,” Charpia admits. “To break a losing habit takes discipline, doing things a certain way to get over that. Trying to win, you work hard, practice hard and take each game one at a time.” Those games have seen a

number of different players contribute in the offense and defense, he says.

“We have installed a wing bone of-fense that starts out of the shotgun. It’s a pistol formation that takes advantage of the players we have,” Charpia explains. “Our offensive line is good this year. Our backs are small but quick and strong, so we are spreading the ball around—I think we had 10 different people score in just the first two games. Being in the shotgun allows us to get the ball out quicker, and

part of us building up our program is get-ting those good players more touches on the ball.”

Charpia knows that he only has his players a short time, so his coaching phi-losophy takes their overall development into consideration.

“Good coaches are also good teach-ers,” he says. “In business when they need to discipline employees, it’s called coaching. It all goes toward creating a good outcome, especially in high school with the kids. Teach them wrong and right, and give them a chance to succeed not just on the field, but in life.”

If it’s Friday in the fall, it’s time for high school football.

Bright stadium lights, mascots, cheerleaders, marching

bands, booster clubs, concession stands, students painted

in school colors — it’s all part of a community-wide focus

on student athletes and how they fare on the field, with

school pride and bragging rights on the line.

“Trying to win, you work hard, practice hard and take each game one at a time.” — Coach Rusty Charpia, B-C Bearcats

by Kevin OliverPhotos by Kreations by Kris Photography



Finishing Strong at AirportThe Airport Eagles are looking to the

full region schedule to finish the year strong, says Coach Kirk Burnett.

“We still have a lot of question marks, and I don’t think we’ve settled into our offense,” he says. “We’re looking for the guys who will be able to make some plays for us.” They’ll be doing that in a spread offense, he says, as well as a 4-3 defense. The early loss to the Bearcats counts to-ward their region record, so there’s extra motivation to play well through the rest of the region schedule.

“We always want to compete for the region championship,” Burnett says. “Since losing to B-C for the first time in 13 games, we want to beat them when we play again at the end of the season. We just want to be playing our best ball at the end of the year.”

That cross-town rivalry and twice-a-year meeting has been good for football

culture in the area, says Burnett, describ-ing the games as bookends to each team’s year, no matter what else happens during the course of the season.

For Coach Burnett, the attitude he’s looking for from his players is commit-ment — not just to playing well, but also to being a good student and local citizen.

“I try to make kids understand that it’s a daily job to be a student athlete,” he says. “I want them to understand the commitment, and that what happens off the field that matters as much or more than what happens on the field.”

No matter which team you cheer for, that piece of the puzzle sets our high school athletes apart. Making sensational plays under Friday night lights is no less special and exciting, but ensuring that they have as much to look forward to once the lights are turned off at the end of their high school career is something we can all support. n

“I try to make kids understand that it’s a

daily job to be a student athlete.”

— Coach Kirk Burnett, Airport Eagles

I asked Daddy why pecan trees died in win-ter. “They don’t die, son. Their roots are grow-ing so the tree can grow taller next spring.”

“How far down do roots go, Daddy?” “A long ways, son.” We found a new-fallen tree. I poked at the

squiggly roots holding sticky red dirt. “How come it fell, Daddy?”“Because the roots weren’t deep enough,

son.” One day I kicked the trunk of the shallow-

rooted tree. I reached into where my foot had gone in. The rotten wood crumbled in my hand. “It looks like dirt, don’t it, Daddy?”

In those days, Daddy was approaching fifty years old. I’ve never been fifty before, but I’ve noticed there’s something about living a whole half-century that makes some folks get jumpy about the end of living. I don’t know how Daddy felt back then about dying. May-be my innocent questions helped him think it through.

“Everything goes back to the dirt, son.” “Even me and you, Dad?” “Even me and you, son.” “Even the big pecan trees?” “The big pecans put down deeper roots.” “So if a tree’s roots go deep then it lives a

long time?” “That’s right, son. But sooner or later we all

go back to the dirt.” “How do roots grow, Daddy?” “The Good Lord makes them grow, son.

That’s what winter is for.” I already knew about the North Star. I

knew if a person faced North and walked to the right, he would end up in Savannah. If he walked left instead of right, he’d still find an ocean. Since all oceans joined together, he could swim around to Savannah after all — it would just take a little longer. I knew the world was round. I knew a person could reach China if he journeyed far enough — China was on the way to Savannah. The main thing was finding something one could be sure of. A lost person just had to wait until it got good and dark to find his way. That’s why North was important, because that old North Star never moved.

So I had already thought about walking around the whole wide world. I knew when I did I would see China. But tree roots knew something I hadn’t thought about.

“How far down do roots go, Daddy?” “I reckon if a tree lives long enough, the

roots go clear through to China.” I started digging that afternoon. I thought

about old Chinese tree roots meeting up with our old Georgia pecan tree roots. I remem-bered the fallen tree’s tangled roots holding the dirt.

Right then I knew it was roots that held the whole wide world together. Roots grow deep while the winds blow cold, growing through their parents and deep into where their par-ent’s roots had grown. I wondered how the Lord made tree roots grow. I wondered why the old North Star never moved. And I won-dered how long before I’d make it to China using Mama’s favorite tea-stirring spoon. n

I like new things, don’t you? I enjoy getting new things, meeting new people, going to new places, seeing new sights and even tasting new foods (most of the time). I think everyone enjoys that “new car” smell! This past year, my wife and I became new grandparents. In six months we moved from no grandchildren to two grandchildren, Gracelyn and Noah, and we love it!

But nothing compares to the new life we can have in Jesus Christ. General Butt Naked would agree. His real name is Joshua Blahyi, but for many who survived Liberia’s 14 year civil war, he is still known as General Butt Naked.

At age 11, he was initiated as a tribal priest and participated in his first human sacrifice. During the course of the ritual, Blahyi says that he had a vision in which he was told by the Devil that he would become a great warrior. From that point on, he took part in month-ly human sacrifices and was responsible for tens of thousands of deaths. He got his nickname because he would lead his troops into battle wearing only shoes and carrying their guns.

But then something happened. He met Jesus, and his life was radically changed. He turned from his sins and trusted Jesus to for-give him. Today, he shares God’s message of forgiveness to anyone who will listen.

The Bible says it this way: “Anyone in Christ is a brand new per-son. The old is gone. Everything becomes new.” In another place it says, “I will give you a new heart and a new mind. I will take away your stubborn heart of stone and give you an obedient heart.” If Jesus can do that to Joshua Blahyi and to Rocky Purvis, He can do it to anyone!

Do you want a chance to be a new person? Do you need a new heart and mind? Jesus will give you one. Just ask. And that’s the Word for Today.

Here in the Midlands, Lexington Medical Center is committed to educat-ing, treating and supporting Survivors from Day 1. Affiliated with Duke Cancer Institute since May 2012, the hospital’s comprehensive Cancer Services program provides “the highest quality technology and services, compassionate care and the knowledge to achieve the best possible outcomes” (Oncology Services, 2012 An-nual Report). Lexington Medical Center diagnoses and treats approximately 1,600 new cancer patients each year, and recent-ly completed an extensive renovation of its oncology facilities. If you or a loved one face a frightening diagnosis, it’s reassuring to know that high-level care is available close to home.

A Team Approach to Comprehensive Care

Just as Lexington Medical Center focuses on a holistic approach to address the physi-cal, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs of patients and their families, its Can-cer Services team uses a multidisciplinary approach to develop a unique treatment plan and supports for each individual.

Nurse navigators guide newly diag-nosed patients through the treatment pro-cess. Physicians meet weekly to review individual cases and develop a treatment plan. Support and therapy groups al-low patients and caregivers to share their concerns and draw strength from the ex-perience of others. Annual community outreach events like the Colon Cancer Challenge, Women’s Night Out, skin can-

cer screenings, and a free physician lecture series promote awareness and continued support for the Cancer Services program.

“We can’t stress enough the impor-tance of a team approach,” says Dr. James Wells, a physician at Lexington Oncology, an LMC physician practice. “We have a ro-bust, quality program and strive every day to improve our delivery of care. New re-search findings and treatment options are presented every day, and our staff does a tremendous job keeping up with the latest information and technology. Partners from other programs and facilities have been shocked at how up to date things are here at Lexington Medical Center.”

“From a community perspective, our affiliation with the Duke Oncology Net-work is a huge asset,” says Dr. Quillin Da-vis, a radiation oncologist with Lexington Radiation Oncology, another LMC prac-tice. “Community hospitals like ours must have a university partnership to enroll eli-gible patients in researched clinical trials. This academic affiliation provides that ac-cess and brings a superior review of qual-ity to everything we do.”

comparing the success of three weeks of boosted radiation therapy to six weeks of standard radiation for early-stage breast cancer patients. (RTOG stands for Radia-

tion Therapy Oncology Group, a national clinical cooperative group based in Phila-delphia and funded by the National Can-cer Institute since 1968.)

RTOG 1115 is a combined Medical Oncology and Radiation Medicine clinical trial for men with prostate cancer, evaluat-ing the difference in overall survival rates of standard treatment versus the addition of 24 months of TAK-700, a drug intend-ed to reduce the levels of testosterone and other male hormones that cause the con-tinued growth of prostate cancer.

“These new advances in treatment are available to us through the Duke affilia-tion,” says Davis. “It’s important to note that until the trial is complete and the data is analyzed, we don’t know if the new treat-ment for any trial is better than what we already have in place. In addition, patients must meet eligibility requirements to enroll in a study. Even patients who don’t partici-

pate in a clinical trial will benefit from this kind of research at the local level.” A Patient’s Perspective

Lexington resident Kelly Clinger was diagnosed with breast cancer the day af-ter Christmas in 2012, at age 41. She and her husband own the recently opened Old Mill Brew Pub, and met with a Lex-ington Medical Center surgeon on the same day they received the keys to their new restaurant.

“I had my first mammogram when I turned 40,” Clinger explains. “That same year, I had a partial hysterectomy because of thyroid tumors. All was good, and then six months later I had a full hysterectomy due to ovarian cysts. I wasn’t going to have another mammogram at that time, but had met my insurance deductible and figured it couldn’t hurt. That second mammogram showed a small tumor the size of an acorn that I never would have found with a self-exam. I chose a lumpectomy first, but the

“We can’t stress enough the importance of a team approach.”



margins came back not clear.” Clinger eventually had a double mas-

tectomy with surgeon Dr. Paul Smith of Lexington Surgical Associates, an LMC physician practice. She also received six rounds of chemotherapy at Lexington On-

cology’s infusion center inside Lexington Medical Center, with oncologist Dr. Ste-ven Madden. Her prognosis is good: no signs of cancer, minimal side effects from the chemo, and her hair is coming back. She goes once every three weeks for a Her-ceptin infusion treatment, and is counting the days until her last treatment in January.

“As the mom of two young kids (ages 8 and 13 at the time), it was difficult for me,” says Clinger. “Chemo was rough. I couldn’t get out of bed to care for my kids, and my husband was stressed trying to care for me and run a new business at the same time. I was nervous, but felt like I handled the news pretty well. I tried to have a positive outlook.”

“The LMC staff quickly became part of our family. My nurse navigator was won-derful. She called me almost every day for the first few weeks to let me know exactly what was going on with my treatment. My husband and I both connected with Dr. Madden on a personal and professional level. I attended the Look Good, Feel Bet-

ter support group and learned how to ap-ply makeup, tie scarves and other things you never really think about unless you’ve been on this journey.

“What I appreciated most about Lex-ington Oncology is that everything is done

right there — imaging on the first floor, surgery on the fourth. It made things so much easier on us. From doctors to nurses to administrative staff, everybody made that experience a good one for us.”

“There’s something to be said for local treatment,” says Dr. Wells. “When you don’t have to leave family, friends and the comfort of your own hometown to receive top qual-ity, compassionate care based on advanced research, it truly makes a difference.” n

“What I appreciated most about Lexington Oncology is that everything is

done right there...”
