Anytime someone comes to you telling you someone was talking negative about you to them. Ask them what was their response back to that person and why would they feel comfortable enough to trust them? My late Grandmother use to say “anyone who brings a bone 🦴 will carry a bone.”

🌟 Person of the Week: Herb Poole

For years, Herb Poole has been a guiding light for young people and families throughout Westminster. As director of the Westminster Recreation Department, Herb goes far beyond organizing programs — he creates a place where kids feel supported, encouraged and at home.

His dedication to the community has earned him several well-deserved honors, including the S.C. Recreation and Parks Association Professional of the Year, the Humble Hero Community Leader Award and Westminster’s first Juneteenth Award of Excellence.

Herb’s leadership, compassion and genuine investment in others have made a lasting difference in Westminster, and we’re proud to recognize him as this week’s Person of the Week! ❤️

Let People keep their drama, gossip and negativity to themselves. Walk away from those kind of conversations without inserting your input. 😇”Changing one heart and one mind at a time for a better tomorrow.”
