A HOUSE RESOLUTION

RECOGNIZING JIM BARNARD OF SUMTER COUNTY ON HIS RETIREMENT AS STATION MANAGER OF WRJA-TV AND THANKING HIM FOR HIS PIONEERING CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SCETV NETWORK AND THE CITIZENS OF SUMTER COUNTY.

Whereas, Jim Barnard retires June 30, 2000, from his official duties as station manager for WRJA-TV in Sumter; and

Whereas, Jim is the last of the original staff hired in 1975 to build the Sumter facility; and

Whereas, under his direction as engineering manager, the technical facilities for the Sumter station were constructed and the broadcasting equipment was purchased and installed; and

Whereas, his thirty-year plus pioneering career at SCETV has included his continuous service since 1977 as station manager of the facility he helped build, with a brief assignment in 1992 to help start up a major SCETV grant project for the United States Department of Health and Human Services; and

Whereas, among his management and programming decisions was the production by the Sumter station of the Emmy award-winning "Making it Grow" with Clemson Extension Agent Rowland Alston; and

Whereas, Jim and his wife Linda plan to enjoy retirement in the Sumter community, while Jim continues to serve SCETV as a contract engineer. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, recognize and thank Jim Barnard of Sumter County on his retirement as station manager of WRJA-TV and for his pioneering contributions to the SCETV network and the citizens of Sumter County.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Jim Barnard.
