DAR promotes Constitution Week
The National Society Daugh
ters of the American Revolu
tion urges Americans to reflect
on the United States Constitu
tion during this month’s annual
observance in honor this foun
dational document of national
governance.
“There are two documents
of paramount importance to
American history: the Declara
tion of Independence, which
forged our national identity,
and the United States Con
stitution, which set forth the
framework for the federal
government that functions to
this day,” said DAR Presi
dent General Denise Doring
VanBuren. “While Indepen
dence Day is a well-recognized
and beloved national holi
day, fewer people know about
Constitution Week, an annual
commemoration of the living
document that upholds and
protects the freedoms central
to our American way of life.”
The DAR initiated the ob
servance in 1955, when the
service organization petitioned
the U.S. Congress to dedicate
Sept. 17-23 of each year to the
commemoration of Constitu
tion Week. Congress adopted
the resolution, and on Aug.
2, 1956, President Dwight D.
Eisenhower signed it into Pub
lic Law #915. The celebration’s
goals are threefold: to encour
age the study of the historical
events that led to the framing of
the Constitution in September
1787; to remind the public that
the Constitution is the basis of
America’s great heritage and
the foundation for its way of
life; and to emphasize U.S. citi
zens’ responsibility to protect,
defend and preserve the U.S.
Constitution.
DAR has been the foremost
advocate for the awareness,
promotion and celebration of
Constitution Week. The annual
observance provides innumer
able opportunities for educa
tional initiatives and communi
ty outreach, two mission areas
of crucial importance to the
National Society. By fostering
knowledge of, and appreciation
for, the Constitution and the in
alienable rights it affords to all
Americans, DAR helps to keep
alive the memory of the men
and women who secured our
nation’s foundational liberties.
“In communities across
America, Daughters will erect
hundreds of community dis
plays , sponsor municipal proc
lamations, ring bells and stage
programs to raise awareness of
the Constitution’s tenets and
importance. We invite every
one to join us in celebrating
this powerful document, which
has enabled our democracy
within a republic for more
than two centuries. We hope
that all Americans will learn
more about the Constitution
and its immense impact on our
nation,” VanBuren said.
One of the largest patriotic
women’s organizations in the
world, DAR has more than
190,000 members in approxi
mately 3,000 chapters across
the country and several for
eign countries. DAR members
promote historic preservation,
education and patriotism via
commemorative events, schol
arships and educational initia
tives, citizenship programs,
service to veterans, meaningful
community service and more.

Midville begins to address ordinance violations \y/U AT’Q NFXT?
SHELLIE SMITLEY
thetruecitizen.shellie@gmail.com
Members of the Midville
City Council have been ad
vised to drive around and take
photos of properties that are
suspected to be in violation of
its nuisance ordinance.
After the council decides
who actually fits the descrip
tion of noncompliance, a letter
will go out informing property
owners of the length of time
that they have to correct the
violation.
“If we don’t get a response,
then we can move further,
City Clerk Sara Cook said and
pointed out that violations will
be grouped together and dealt
with by the nature of noncom
pliance.
An issue arose concerning
who is best suited to take
the photos during last week’s
monthly meeting.
Councilwoman Norma
Thorne volunteered to take on
the task but indicated that she
didn’t want to be the only one.
Cook suggested that a commit
tee be formed to take the pho
tos. The potential for utilizing
the services of a Burke County
code enforcement officer was
brought up, Cook quickly shot
the idea down stating that it
wasn’t a viable option. Resi
dent Bettye Jackson expressed
her sentiments regarding Burke
County’s reluctance to help.
“If this job could take a
week or a month couldn’t the
city hire someone just for that
time,” she asked. “It saddens
me that with everything here
in Burke County but nobody
in Waynesboro wants to come
to Midville. I am sick and tired
of hearing it.”

different point of view, actively
listen to others, and see the
larger picture and impacts on
situations,” Lane said. “This
opportunity is not self-serving.
This opportunity is about hav
ing a positive impact on the
lives of others and ensuring
them the best opportunity for
their future and the future of
our community. This oppor
tunity is not about today, but a
better tomorrow.”
Part of accomplishing that,
Lane said, will involve learn
ing from the example set by the
late Chairman Jenkins.
“I have a tremendous amount
of respect for Mr. Jenkins,”
Lane said. “The time, energy,
and effort he devoted to this
community over the last forty-
two years set an example for
us all in any venture. I can’t be
Johnny...no one can be. But I
do think there is a lot to learn
from his example.”
ABOUT FRANKLIN LANE
Spouse: Married to Caroline
Lane. Children: Lucy Lane, 5th
grade at Blakeney Elementary;
Mayor Samuel Cummings,
appearing by phone, suggested
that the council contact the
county anyway.
“We pay the same taxes that
everyone else pays,” he said.
The council decided to con
tact County Manager Merv
Waldrop to find out what the
county would do.
