On Sunday, March 25, 2007, a routine call came into the Moncks Corner, S.C. Police Department on a domestic violence situation. But there is never anything routine about domestic violence and that day was no different. Before the afternoon was over two officers lay dead including Quincy native Michael Wells.
Wells and Officer Marcus Stiles were the only officers ever killed while on active duty in Moncks Corner. Lt. Michael Roach was the men's immediate supervisor and was devastated by the deaths.

The Gadsden County Tourist Development Council was in a generous mood during its March 19 regular meeting.

Like most coaches Shawanna Moye paces the sidelines while giving verbal commands to the players. She wants them to remember what they've practiced. She wants them to stay focused and, most of all, she wants them to hustle.
    Moye, who coaches Mighty Mite football, basketball and T-ball (4 to 7 year olds) is the only female coach with the Quincy Recreation Department. She has been at it for the past seven years. She also coaches 8 to 10 year olds in basketball.

You've seen them. Sitting on the side of a country road looking lost and forlorn. You pass, knowing that the animal has been well cared for and kept because it's coat is still shiny and it has the plumpness of having been recently fed. But deep down you know that this animal has been abandoned like so many other each year in Gadsden County.
    Scenes like that are what the Gadsden County Humane Society want to prevent. They want to spread the word that there's someone here to help before it get to the point that animals are abandoned.
