Conway, S.C. (WPDE) — The sad reality of the heroin epidemic is, people are still overdosing, still getting hooked, and still suffering from addiction.

Noreen and Dennis Beck know the struggle of addiction all too well. Together this holiday season, the Becks are looking to help give the gift of life back to people who need it.

"The only way we can do this is by advocating for the addict. You know, I've had a child die of this disease, so it has become a real passion for me," said Noreen.

They also have another unique perspective: the Becks are recovering, he's 26 years sober, she's got 17 years under her belt.

"We were where you are now, once ourselves," said Noreen.

With the help of Centenary United Methodist Church, they have a place to help others start their journeys, The Dream Center.

"We're opening our doors, opening our hearts, not judging people, but giving them the tools so that they can find their higher power and start taking the steps one day at a time to get their lives on track," said Dennis Devorick, pastor of Centenary.

Dennis Beck helps run several meetings, some at J. Rueben Long Detention Center. The ones at The Dream Center will be based off a 12 step program. They say no matter the drug, if you need help, you're welcome. The Becks have been turned down by a church before, but not by Centenary.

"We need to reach out and meet people where they are now and give them hope and a future. We need to intervene. It's effecting every neighborhood, it's not just poor neighborhoods, it's rich neighborhoods," said Devorick.

They say addiction doesn't discriminate. Neither does independence or freedom, but you have to know, it's out there.

"I asked one question: 'how many of you guys are repeaters?' Almost every single one raised their hand. I'm trying to show them that they don't have to be a repeater anymore. This is the first day of the rest of your life," said Dennis Beck.

Those meetings will start Wednesday, December 6, and continue every Wednesday night at 8. There will be open meetings but also closed meetings for people who would like to remain anonymous.

The Tamil Nadu government on Monday invited President Ram Nath Kovind to commemorate the centenary year of the Madras Legislative Council established in 1921 under British rule. Chief Minister M K Stalin met Kovind in New Delhi and invited him to participate in the celebrations which will also include the unveiling of late DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi’s portrait in the Assembly hall.

Kovind has also been invited to lay the foundation stone for the construction of a world-class library in Madurai, a super speciality hospital in Chennai in memory of Karunanidhi and a memorial tower to mark 75 years of Independence on Marina Beach.

“The president has agreed to participate in the events. He has promised to give us a date in the next couple of days,” Chief Minister M K Stalin told reporters. To a question on whether he broached the topic of the release of seven convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case with the President, Stalin replied in the negative.

The Madras Legislative Council was established in 1921 and inaugurated by the Duke of Connaught after the first elections to the council were held in November 1920. The Justice Party, which is a precursor to the now ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), rode to power in the first, second, and fourth elections held to the council. The last and the fifth council saw the Justice Party running a minority government.

The library and hospital are part of announcements that Stalin made on the birth anniversary of his father Karunanidhi on June 3. A multi-speciality hospital with 500 beds will be established at the King Institute campus in Guindy in south Chennai. The hospital will be built for Rs 250 crore.

Stalin had also said Kalaignar Memorial Library with modern amenities will be set up in Madurai at Rs 70 crore in an area of 2.5 lakh square feet to help students, scholars, and researchers in enriching their knowledge. The institution will be set up on the lines of the Anna Centenary Library built by Karunanidhi in memory of Dravidian warhorse and DMK founder C N Annadurai.

A 17-year-old boy and his teenage sister belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC) are receiving treatment at a government hospital in Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu after they were brutally hacked by three teenage schoolmates from an intermediate caste inside their home.

The shocking incident has led to a major outrage with activists and film directors taking to social media seeking an end to caste-related violence in schools.

Chief Minister M K Stalin said it was sad that caste was entrenched even in the minds of school children and asked teachers to inculcate morals to students, while School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi promised to incur the educational expenses of the affected boy.

Six juveniles, who were involved and related to the gory incident, have been arrested and are currently under the custody of the Juvenile Justice Board.

Children of daily wage labourers, M Chinnadurai and M Chandraselvi are studying at a government-aided school in Valliyoor in Tirunelveli district and it is believed the teenager was good in his studies and was constantly bullied and harassed by three of his classmates.

Sources said unable to handle the harassment from his classmates, Chinnadurai narrated his experiences to his parents and stopped attending classes. “But the school administration intervened and ensured that Chinnadurai returned to the class and issued a warning to the students who harassed him,” a source added.

However, hours after the warning, the trio barged into Chinnadurai’s home and hacked him and his sister who tried to save her brother.

District officials said they were ready to shift the siblings to another school if they wished to get a transfer, while Poyyamozhi asked students to follow brotherhood during the centenary year of Vaikom revolution led by several leaders from Kerala and Periyar from Tamil Nadu which ensured temple visiting rights to all communities.

Taking to social media, director Mari Selvaraj, whose movies talk about violence against Dalits, asked people to find out the reason for the bloodshed, by posting a picture of bloodstains of the victims. Music director G V Prakash said, “If caste is society, then let poison spread in the air.”

Several political leaders also condemned the incident and sought an end to caste-based violence.
