CHURCH OF THE WEEK B1 2A OPINION 4A OBITUARIES 1B LIFESTYLES 2B PUZZLES 3B BOOKINGS News&Press JULY 29, 2015 TWO SECTIONS • 14 PAGES 5B CLASSIFIEDS QUOTE ‘All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.’ EDMUND BURKE Vol. 141, No. 29 Darlington, S.C. 75¢ ESTABLISHED 1874 W W W. N E W S A N D P R E S S . N E T 30,000 bikers expected at Darlington event By Samantha Lyles Staff Writer slyles@newsandpress.net Perhaps upwards of 30,000 bikers will roll into Darlington County next week as the 38th Annual National Bikers Roundup drops a kickstand at the Darlington Dragway from August 5 through 9. With such a large influx of visitors, plans are in place to smooth out traffic kinks along Bobo Newsom Highway and keep both residents and guests safe on the roads. Darlington County Sheriff Wayne Byrd says there will be law enforcement officers present – either South Carolina Highway Patrol or DCSO deputies – on the highway in front of the venue pretty much 24 hours a day during the Roundup. Motorists heading west on Bobo Newsom towards Hartsville will find the right lane converted to turn-only into the Dragway. Eastbound traffic turning into the venue will mostly be guided into the median to keep the main lanes moving. Byrd says travelers looking to avoid delays would be wise to plan alternate routes that bypass main thoroughfares. Congestion on the roads can lead to frayed tempers and costly mistakes, so Darlington Police Department Chief Danny Watson advises drivers to keep a cool head and avoid getting tickets themselves. Watson says every DPD officer not in school or on active military duty will be working during the Roundup, which means more cops on the streets looking out for speeders, impaired drivers, and those with criminal intent. Another traffic worry is the inevitability of a car vs. motorcycle collision, which often results in severe injuries for the biker. Byrd advises local drivers to stay alert during this event and take care to share the road safely with these twowheeled visitors. “In talking with other venues, there are a lot more motorcycle-related crashes around this event, and it’s primarily because you have such a large number of motorcycles on the road. People are not used to seeing that many bikes that frequently traveling through the area,” says Sheriff Byrd. “You’re talking about 25,000 to 35,000 bikers coming in and out, every day, twice a day. There’s going to be a lot of motorcycles on the road and we certainly want our local citizens to be on the watch for them, to be extra careful.” BIKERS ON 3A Hear her roar: Stacy Burr wins National USPA Championship By Jana E.

Pye Editor editor@newsandpress.net The Darlington County Habitat for Humanity ReStore had a lot of help this summer thanks to eight students from the JAG program from Darlington High School. “We are really going to miss them,” said ReStore manager Ben Schmeltz. “These kids are hard workers!” According to Noreen Wingate, JAG Coordinator at Darlington High School, the program started in 2005-2006 school year. This is the first year they tried a partnership with the ReStore. “The summer program was sponsored by Colon Abraham, owner of CMA Services, Inc. of Hartsville. He adopted our program through the whole school year,” said Wingate. “He said he wanted to give back to the community, since people helped him when he was in high school.” JAG, “Jobs for America’s Graduates” is a school-tocareer transitional leadership/drop out prevention program that focuses on helping students achieve academic success, graduate from high school, and improve career readiness. The curriculum focuses on cultivating skills identified by businesses as essential to successful employment. At Darlington High School, the multi year program is made up from 9th – 12th grade, and this year had a total of 45 students. For this summer program, Abraham sponsored the crew of eight students, four in the morning and four in the afternoon. RESTORE ON 5A and Statistician is Kim Weatherford.

Stacy Burr is proof of both. Burr began powerlifting in October of 2014, and a mere nine months later attended her first national competition and won the Juniors 20-23 age, 132 lb National USPA Championship and placed 2nd Overall in Women’s Open on July 10, 2015 at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino USPA National Powerlifting Championships. She lifted a total of 832.4 lbs at a 131 lbs body weight in the 60 kg weight class, 20-23 age division. She was a RAW division lifter- no knee wraps or extra support/equipment. In competition, a powerlifter does three lifts: first a squat, then a bench, and then a deadlift. At Nationals, her numbers were: Squat: 281.1 lbs Bench: 187.5 lbs (American World Record) Deadlift: 363.8 lbs “It was pretty amazing,” said Burr. “But honestly, I thought I could have done better.” Although powerlifting is a relatively new sport for women, the Darlington native’s diminutive size of 5’3” has not held her back a bit – the total Stacy Burr on the Square in Darlington after returning home from winning the National USPA Championship in her division PHOTO BY JANA E. PYE weight she can lift is quite impressive by any powerlifter standards- female or male. Burr is classified as an International Elite Level Powerlifter. Her best-recorded lifetime lifts: Squat: 310 lbs Bench: 210 lbs Deadlift: 370 lbs Burr’s goal is 1000 lb Drugfree Total Since beginning the sport of powerlifting, Burr has competed in six competitions; in addition to the Nationals in Las Vegas, she also competed in: ROAR ON 3A Robots rule at STEM Camp By Samantha Lyles Staff Writer slyles@newsandpress.net Tiny robotic vehicles whirred around a tabletop arena as their young creators looked on, nervous for their mechanized babies. These 7th and 8th grade students, participants in Darlington County School District’s first robotics camp, had put in two weeks of hard work, poring over calculations and programming instructions, and they showed off the truly cool results of their labors at a July 23 demonstration held at the Darlington County Institute of Technology. The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Camp teams built various types of vehicles to l earn principles of motion and construction, like a pasta car with a balloonpowered thrust system, and a paper car that could withstand a steep drop while protecting its fragile egg passenger. “All of that culminated in a robotics competition… in terms of designing and programming a robot to do certain functions,” explains Jerry Rivers, Darlington County School District Math and Science Coordinator. Students built robotic cars to perform functions that sometimes elude adult drivers – things like parallel parking and three-point turns – and most of the Two of the 7th and 8th grade students with one of their robots created at STEM Camp. PHOTO BY SAMANTHA LYLES demos went off without a hitch. But even when the robots didn’t perform perfectly the first time, the teams conferred, made adjustments, and corrected the problem in short order. Rivers says that behavior, talking and pooling ideas, was part of the curriculum. “We did several activities engaging them to learn to come together as a group, as a team, to construct these different types of cars,” he says. “They took the mindset of a project… and they said, ‘Hey, I’ve got to persevere through this. I’ve got to make this happen.’” STEM ON 3A The Pee Dee’s Oldest Independently Owned Newspaper opinion Word of the Week superannuated: outmoded, old-fashioned Merriam-Webster.com JULY 29, 2015 | PAGE 2A the NeWs ANd press, dArliNGtoN, s.C. WWW.NEWSANDPRESS.NET op-ed A Good Man Gone Home Memories of Harold Timmons Reader says THANK YOU to Mrs. Knapp There are no flags flying at half mast over the courthouse; don’t expect any streets or bridges to be named in his honor, but Darlington has lost one of it’s finest and longest citizens, Harold Timmons has gone home! There is a verse in the Bible that says, “Man goeth to his everlasting home and mourners go about the streets” – Ecclesiastes 12:5. It happens everyday somewhere, and it happened in Darlington when Harold Timmons left for that other world early on Sunday morning, July 19, 2015. I will claim the honor of having known Harold Timmons longer than any person living today! Ours was an acquaintance and friendship that began when Harold’s father, W.C. Timmons, owned and operated a grocery store on Philip Street, near the village where I grew up as a boy. The year was in the mid 30’s of the past century. I was a young teenager, still in school at St. John’s in Darlington. Harold’s father had given me my first real job, that of helping in the store on weekends. Harold’s father was a great influence on me in my early life. I grew up and Harold did also. Our paths led in different directions, and long years passed when we didn’t hear anything about each other. While still living in Florida, I heard from Harold and he invited me to stop by his office on my next visit to Darlington. I did! And what a visit we had! We shared memories, filled in the blanks with happenings in his family and mine. We had years of catching up to do. Space and time will not permit me to write it all. We parted that day with a promise to stay in touch. In the years that followed, each time I visited Darlington, I made certain to visit with Harold. My wife, sister, daughter, and her husband were always along. They would sit and visit with Harold and me share our memories of persons, places, and events out of our yesteryears. Our last time together happened rather recently; we had our usual visit and went out for lunch. Another good time was had, reminiscing and sharing time together. None could know that this would be our last time together. “How swiftly on the heels of laughter, gallop the sounds of sorrow!” The news came. Harold was hospitalized, and in serious condition. I called my friend and it was so good to hear him say my name, as only Harold could, “Bill Shepard!” He was too weak to say more. We prayed for Harold’s healing, but God had other plans. Lines from a song out of yesteryear have been chasing through my mind: Just a note to Mrs. Knapp to say a great big THANK YOU! I have been a part of the Darlington Community for about twenty three years and have observed much of what she wrote about. Now, I like it here. There are some great people here. I was called here to pastor the Southside Free Will Baptist Church on McIver Road. That ministry was a blessing to my wife and I, and when I retired I left a good church and good people. However, the leadership of “Where are my friends that I knew yesterday? They have gone home! They left me one by one, as their day’s work was done. Gone, they have gone home.” Thanks for the memories, old friend Note: My sincerest condolences and prayers are for all the family as they move on into the future without Harold. Mr. Shepard is a native of Darlington, S.C., and a current resident of Piedmont, S.C. and author of “Mill Town Boy” and “Bruised”. He has been sharing his tales of growing up in Darlington for decades, and we are delighted to share them each week.

Some of the entranceways to our town could - and should - be cleaned up and improved. We have too many run down houses and former businesses that are eyesores. For some reason or another, the Chamber of Commerce is plagued with constant turnovers in leadership. I could go on, but I think the readers get the point. Mrs. Knapp was absolutely right about the mural on the wall off Pearl Street. My wife and I kept looking for the thing to be completed, until one day some one informed that it WAS completed. Really! We have an election coming up soon, and some of these matters should certainly be brought up by the voters at the various stump meetings. By the way, a lot of people in Darlington really liked Mrs. Knapp's Letter to the Editor. Rev. Leroy B. Lowery, Ret. Darlington, S.C. Thumbs up to Andrea Knapp Rally Cry Citizens of Darlington. We do need to elect people who will work to not only bring new business to Darlington, but to work for all the people in our community. With an election, we can do this by electing a candidate who will and has done this as a member of city council for over 14 years. Gloria Hines has the experience and qualified to move the city forward. We also need a few citizens to step forward and run for city council.

OP-ED Guns and death in South Carolina By phil Noble The recent murder of nine people at Emanuel Church in Charleston has sparked many different reactions. Confederate flags are coming down, people are talking about race in different ways and the subject of guns and violence is now back on the agenda in our state and country. I frequently write about a wide range of studies and analysis of various public policy issues. In today’s political environment, far too often politicians and their supporters pick out an isolated fact or two and use it to spin out their rationale for some line of rhetoric or predetermined position. These folks, Democrats and Republicans, use facts not to determine what policies should be pursued but instead they use a couple of fact to justify their bias, prejudice and pre-existing position. That said, below are some facts from recent studies – simple fact with no rhetoric or political spin – about guns, death and violence in South Carolina: Between 2001 and 2010, 5,991 people in South Carolina were killed by guns. This is 15 percent higher than all U.S. combat deaths in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. In South Carolina, a person is killed by a gun every 14 hours. There is an aggravated assault with a gun occurring every 90 minutes. In 2010, we were the seventh-deadliest state in the country for gun murders. For every 100,000 people, the gun murder rate was 5; this is 39 percent higher than the national average of 3.6 per 100,000. We rank No. 2 in the county in aggravated assaults with a gun, 2-1/2 times higher than the national average. When it comes to killing law-enforcement officers with a gun, we rank fourth in the nation. For the years 2002 through 2011, 16 officers were killed with a gun. From 2001-2012, South Carolina ranked fourth in the nation in the number of women killed by a gun, 64 percent above the national average. In the category of women killed by men in domestic violence in South Carolina, we ranked second and more than half of these murders were committed with a gun. In 2001, the rate of guns from South Carolina being “exporter” to other states and used in the commission of a crime was twice the national average. We exported 33 crime guns per 100,000 people compared to a national average of 14. In a statement after the Charleston shooting, President Barack Obama made comments about how gun violence and deaths were so much worse in the United States than in other industrialized countries. The statistics show that he is right. The United States ranks No. 1 in the world in the number of guns per 100 people at 88.8. By comparison, the rates for other industrialized countries are: France 32.1, Canada 30.8, Germany 30.3, Australia 15, Italy 11.9, Russia 8.9, United Kingdom 6.6, Ireland 4.3 and Japan 0.6. The ranking and rates of firearms deaths per 100,000 people by county for industrializes countries are similar to those of gun ownership: U.S. 3.5, Canada 0.5, Italy 0.3, France 0.2, Germany 0.2, Holland 0.2, Australia 0.1, and United Kingdom 0.05. For the most recent year reported, Japan’s murder rate with a gun was 0 – none. Japan has a population of 127 million, South Carolina has 4.8 million people. All of this would lead one to ask – why? Why are the bad statistics for South Carolina so dire? At this point there is a danger of wondering into a more subjective analysis about gun safety leg- in South Carolina – a big problem. We are killing each other with guns at a freighting rate. We are killing each other at rates that are among the highest in the country and our county’s rates of gun violence are among the highest rates in the world. For now, let’s all agree on this. We have a very big problem – a very, very, very big problem – and we need to do something about this. islation – or lack thereof – in our state. But let’s stop here. Instead of getting into a political or policy discussion, which by definition leads to division and disagreement, let’s just focus for now on the problem. The key takeaway from all this is that we have a problem (Note on sources: S.C. data: Institute for Southern Studies, global data: see Wikipedia, “number of guns per capita by country” and “list of countries by firearm-related death rates”) Phil Noble is a businessman in Charleston and president of the S.C.

Bikers Roar For businesses that plan to catch their share of the tourism windfall, Sheriff Byrd says planning ahead can help spare business the stress of being overwhelmed. “I’d probably make sure I had some extra help on hand and brief all my employees ahead of time,” he says. “And if a situation or conflict develops, address it directly… and if they have a problem, they can call law enforcement and we’d be glad to handle that for them.” The biggest traffic influx to area restaurants will be during breakfast hours. One Roundup organizer tells the News and Press that many bikers like to go out and enjoy a hearty breakfast, but afternoon and evening meals are mostly prepared on grills at the campsite. To keep all those grills fired up, and keep everyone cool and hydrated, local markets are advised to keep plenty of charcoal, propane, ice, and drinking water in stock. Restaurants are asked to designate parking for motorcycles, preferably in an easily seen and well-lit area to discourage thieves from stealing custom parts or cargo from the bikes. The schedule of events for the 38th Annual National Bikers Roundup is as follows: Wednesday: Music all day from DJ Big Mike and DJ Shakim Friday: Spade card tournament from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m.; live music Friday night from Terrance Young and the Soul Central Band, and Big Mucci; Test and Tune Grudge Racing at the Darlington Dragway Saturday: Bike show and sound contest from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.; live music Saturday night from Big Robb, DJ Shakim, and DJ Big Mike Each day will offer plenty of activities for kids, karaoke, and vendors General admission is $30, bikers wearing club colors pay $20, and kids 12 and under are admitted free.

The meet in Atlanta was two weeks prior to the meet in Vegas, which is not recommended. “You are supposed to take a week off after a meet, and take it easy the week before a competition, but I didn’t plan that too well,” said Burr. “You live and learn. I’m still happy I went to Atlanta, though, I learned a lot there and enjoyed it.” Burr is 23 years old a 2014 graduate of Coker College, and graduated from Mayo High School for Math, Science and Technology in 2010. She has played softball for years, competing at the college level on the Coker College Cobras team. While studying exercise science at Coker, she earned her Physical Trainer Certification as a sophomore, and was promptly hired by Curtis Boyd as a personal trainer at his World Fitness Gyms. “I like what I am doing now, and I’m making an impact,” said Burr. “What good is intelligence or knowledge if you don’t share it? I like to help out as much as I can, be it a young person or an adult taking their first training lesson. My goal is that someone says they are a better person or a better athlete because of something I taught them. You watch people with their head down with no confidence, and watch them evolve into someone with confidence. I love that.” She coaches individual and group training sessions at the Darlington and Hartsville gyms, and occasionally at the Florence locations, in addition Continued from 1A WEDNESDAY JULY 29, 2015 | PAGE 3A Continued from 1A From World Fitness Expo in Atlanta GA, above; Nationals, right. to her new full time job with Frito Lay. The irony of working for a snack company is not lost on her. “I tell people they can eat things – like chips, or a piece of cake – in moderation,” said Burr with a grin. “It’s important to not deprive yourself, but it’s very important to eat healthy and put good food into your body as well as exercise.” She attributes much of her success to the encouragement of her father, Billy Burr, and sister, Shannon Burr. “They have been great,” said Burr. “My Dad always supported me when I played softball- he doesn’t know as much about powerlifting, but he was so happy when I came home.” Billy Burr said that when she left to fly to Vegas, she told him not to expect a win. “Then she comes home with medals, winning Nationals,” he said proudly. “She can do anything she puts her mind to.” At nationals she set a world record a bench record for USPA (United States Powerlifting Association) 20 – 23 age, 132 lbweight class, American world record of a bench press of 187.5 lbs. At her last meet, her best bench was a 203 lb, which tied a USAPL world record. Burr was the only athlete competing from the Carolinas at Nationals. “I went to Vegas and was overwhelmed- everyone else was there with sponsors, and a whole team,” said Burr. “But I qualified and figured, why not. I could actually do this. You miss opportunities all the times and you talk yourself out of it. When you get an opportunity just take it. Not just in powerlifting or sports, but in life. If you have an opportunity to chase your dreams, do it you may not do as well as you want to, but say you did it? That, to me, is pretty cool. I get chill bumps just talking about it. I don’t think I’m better than anybody. When you believe in your own hype, I don’t want to be on top. I’m from Darlington, S.C, my Dad is a truck mechanic. I’ve never had anything handed to me. Nothing has come easy to me. You gotta work for things that mean to you. Some people are gifted genetically, but it keeps me motivated. I am working towards something it’s about persistence Stem Continued from 1A STEM camp student Kenneth Wingate says the end result, seeing a robot he helped create carry out its mission, was worth all the effort. “It feels amazing because you and your team worked together to complete something that’s really big, that most people don’t have a chance to do,” says Wingate, a rising 8th grader. “The fact that we did all our math right, like dimensional analysis, finding the circumference of everything for the number of rotations – it’s a great feeling.” The STEM Camp wasn’t all number crunching, though; students took a trip to the BMW Manufacturing Co. in Greer and witnessed high performance automobiles pieced together by workers on a robotics-assisted assembly line. “My favorite part was what they call ‘slapping the baby,’ when it officially becomes a BMW and they take a hammer and tap the BMW emblem (onto the hood),” says Wingate. Rivers says the camp has generated great interest among the students, broadening their understanding about how robotics can be incorporated into careers in both science and engineering. “I think it’s really going to be beneficial. They’re already asking about next year,” says Rivers.

If you have doubt in your mind, it’s gonna eat you for lunch. When I set up for a dead lift, I make noise. In my weight class, which are the small girls, they usually are quiet,” she continued. “But, I am an aggressive lifter. I get up to the bar and scream or bark, I get really into it. You gotta channel an inner, primal sense …make something happen. I get there and know I’m gonna pick this up. I do self-talk. You have to have the right mindset. I say to myself, “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me” and say it over and over,.. And know ‘I can pick this up’. You have to believe in yourself.” Burr is the granddaughter of Mary Sue Burr and the late Fred Burr, who passed away in December. She is also the daughter of Lisa Burr. She thought about getting her master’s degree, but put her degree on hold to come home to care for her grandfather who passed away in December. “He would have been proud of me on this win,” said Burr. “I’m sure in some way, he knew.” What is powerlifting? According to Burr, there is a lot of strategy involved, and the form and listening to commands from the three judges are key. The powerlifter stands on a platform, and has three attempts to get their best weight at three lifts: the squat, the bench, and the deadlift. The athlete’s total is the amount of pounds combining the highest completed weight for each of the three lifts. “There are many rules,” said Burr. “You must keep perfect form, and pause at each move; Anchor Club of Darlington High School visits Disney Members of the Anchor Club at Darlington High School pose with Director Nancy Lee on their recent trip to Florida to attend the Pilot International Meeting. Read more in next week’s issue! they tell you commands, when to squat, press. It’s not like ‘show up and look like a barbarian’ - it must be technically sound, and cookie cutter perfect commands. It’s really nerve-wracking.” “You open up with something you know you can do,” said Burr. “The second should be something that you have done – and pretty challenging. The third attempt might be a 5 lb PR, or something that might be possible, but might not be. Some people do it a little differently. You get the three chances, and whichever one you record as the highest, that is your number for that lift.” All the participants compete that one, and move on to the next lift. The groups are divvied up into weight classes, and age groups. Her favorite female powerlifter is Jennifer Thompson, who has won several world records. “She just is so inspirational. Its not her day job, she is actually a math teacher, and goes to the meets with her husband and kids.” Stacy came in third to Thompson at the World Fitness Expo in Atlanta, and got to meet her personally. “I was so proud to stand on the podium with her,” said Burr. “I got a chance to talk to her, and she told me that powerlifting is one of the few sports that you can actually improve with age some of the top powerlifters are in their 30’s and 40’s, because you improve your form and strength more so than in other sports.” Burr’s sponsor is Wicked Iron Clothing.

He also hosts a cookout for the JAG teachers and students.” Orlando Hudson, local professional baseball standout and founder of the C.A.T.C.H. Foundation, sponsored one of the students, Melquan Depugh, and will be following his college baseball program in the fall. If the students complete the entire summer, they will complete their first resume, and receive payment. The students that were available for the interview shared their experiences this summer: Ashton Truett, rising sophomore at DHS: “I worked the floor with Shannon,” said Truett. “I used a cash register for the first time, and putting up displays in the store.” Her favorite part of the job was ringing up customers. Kadajah Walker, rising senior at DHS: “It was fun, and pretty easy,” said Walker. “My favorite thing was working the floor with Ashton.” In addition to working on the floor, she also sorted through the clothing donations in the back. She had never worked in a store before, and this was her first job experience. Alyceana Wilson, rising junior at DHS: “I cleaned and priced all the items that are out,” said Wilson. “We estimated prices, and looked at the item and came up with the conclusion if it was worth spending money on or not. Then, we priced the item in our own budget, like how much you would spend on it. We Googled some of the stuff that were worth more, things that would get a better price.” She never heard of Habitat before this experience. “The fact that I’m putting hours in here, I feel like I’m changing somebody’s life by getting new stuff. Habitat gives back.” Tyler Bruton, rising Members of the JAG program at Darlington High School with Darlington County Habitat for Humanity ReStore Manager Ben Schmeltz and Assistant Manager Shannon and JAG Coordinator Noreen Wingate. PHOTO BY JANA E. PYE junior this year at DHS: “I just started yesterday, and it was my first experience sorting all the clothes and making sure they go where they need to go.” She worked in the back, and saw where they were supposed to go on the racks. This was her second job experience; she worked last year at the school for a part time job. “I am very excited about working here this summer.” Melquan Depugh, 2015 Graduate of DHS, and will be playing baseball this year as a freshman at USC Sumter: Depugh, a former football and baseball athlete and recent graduate of Darlington High School has been helping with the electronics at Habitat this summer, under the direction of ReStore manager Ben Schmeltz. “When we came in, Ben helped us with the electronics- like how to clean them up and stuff. I learned a lot of life skills from him. He taught us a lot.” He didn’t know much about Habitat before this summer job experience. “Miss Wingate called me over the summer, and asked if I was working anywhere, and would like to do this… I’m glad I did. You work with a lot of nice people, and it helps a lot of people.” He asked that friends follow him this year on his Twitter feed, @_MellyD_ Anthony Fullard, 2015 Gradutate of DHS, and will be on the wrestling team at Allen Universty in Columbia this year: “Melquan had the morning shift on electronics, and I had the afternoon,” said Fullard. “We also helped load and unload the truck, and basically did all ‘round things here, I did all I could do for the Habitat. “ The heat doesn’t bother him, as an athlete “I’ve been working out in the heat, so it doesn’t bother me as much,” He starts freshman year at Allen on August 2, and begins wrestling practice the same day. Speaking of Habitat, Fullard said, “I heard of it, but I really didn’t know what it was all about until I started working here and got an indepth view of what they do.” he said. “It’s good for people that want to get rid of their stuff, and for those that are starting in new homes – they can get furniture for cheap so they can start off slowly as they build up I learned how to price, to organize, and make deals on things. We also learned how to do maintenance on the truck, how to keep oil in it and do the mileage A’Reeonna Self rising junior at DHS: “I liked setting up the clothing racks,” said Self. “I had never worked in a store before. I really liked meeting people that came in to shop, and to donate. This was a really fun thing to do this summer.” “We’ve actually seen out best month yet here in Darlington, and I attribute a lot of it to the good help,” said Ben Schmeltz, ReStore manager. “Good help is hard to find, especially in young students, they have done an exceptional job. I have been working with Habitat for three years, and as a manager for a year and a half, and I can tell you that good help is hard to find,” he continued. “These kids worked really hard, and they come in ready and willing to work. That’s not usually the case with young kids. Our stock got moved in daily, rather than just once a week, and we had tremendous sales because of that.” In addition to the heavy lifting, the young men in the program also assisted by driving the truck, something that Ben will miss greatly. “We have a lot of kids from groups around the country that come to help on building Habitat houses, too,” continued Schmeltz. “I hope that we can get some students involved with this, too. Then, they really see the good that the sales from the ReStore actually do for themselves.” “These kids have been a real blessing to us,” said. Shannon Maddox, who works along with Schmeltz at the ReStore. “They are getting good experience, and we definitely needed the boys’ help. We have some good spirited people here, sometimes I have to tell them to take a break. They have been really good team. I think God has blessed us with them coming and help. I look forward to our future with Miss Wingate, and future helpers to come in and help. It’s a great thing for them to get experience and get their foot in the door.” Ms. Wingate said that she hopes to get volunteers from the program to help out on Saturdays through the school year. “I will help, too,” she said. “I wouldn’t ask them to do anything that I would not do myself.” “Usually Coker College or out of state groups build our clothing bins,” said Schmelzer. I hope we can organize a build for those things, too.” To learn more about Darlington County Habitat for Humanity, visit them at: www.darcohabitat.org, or call the office: 843-383-8500 To arrange for a donation pick up, contact the Darlington ReStore at: 843-944-0314 or the Hartsville ReStore at: 843383-8517. ~ Inspirat ion ~ y specialist, I enjoy the challenge llenge of d providing solving complex medical conditions and ts ” ts. s sociates Our community has a need eed for specialists kidney disease. s why McLeod Physician sician i i Associates A i he formation of o is pleased to announce the sociates, its first kidney McLeod Nephrology Associates, rence.

PAGE 6A | WEDNESDAY JULY 29, 2015 What a change! Darlington Branch Open House The Friends of the Darlington Branch hosted an open house for the Library this past Saturday to show off the changes volunteers, Friends, and staff have made in the Library during the last three months. If you haven’t visited the Darlington Branch since May 1st, you need to go have a look. It is like entering an entirely new Library. Those who attended the open house were surprised by all the changes made in such a short time. When you walk into the Darlington Branch, you no longer see the yellowed, stained, and peeling wallpaper. It has been replaced with a sleek, contemporary color scheme selected by the staff. The colorless, empty circle above the interior entrance is now highlighted in yellow and sports the Library’s logo, in cut metal, that seems to float in the circle. The children’s area and part of the adult area were switched in the makeover. The children’s area has come alive and is so much more inviting with its new paint scheme and the natural light from the tall arched window. These are just a few of the changes visitors were able to see. The sweeping changes made in the Darlington Branch would not have occurred so quickly if not for the Cornerstone Baptist Church’s MissionFest 2015 members. Dozens of members helped to transform the Branch. In recognition of the “their time, energy, and expertise” given to the Library and the “positive difference” they made for the Library and the community, the Library’s Board passed a resolution extending its “profound appreciation” for their work. The framed resolution was presented to Dr. William “Pastor Bill” Curtis, Senior Pastor at Cornerstone Baptist Church, on behalf of the Library as part of the open house. Friends President Lois Baldwin said, “We are thrilled with the changes and the outpouring of help the Friends and the Library have received to make all this possible.” As part of the festivities, the Friends also gave away door prizes and free hotdogs, chips, and drinks to all those who visited. The refreshments were served just outside the children’s room in an area that may become a reading garden.

Special tickets are available by visiting www.Darlington Raceway.com/HelpAHero or by 866-459-7223. calling Verification of military service will be vetted through SheerID. In turn, Darlington Raceway will donate $2 for each ticket purchased through the program to the VFW’s ‘Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship’ program. “We appreciate the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces and protect our freedom,” Darlington Raceway President Chip Wile said. “This is a great opportunity for our military heroes to enjoy a great NASCAR race and at the same time help fellow service members and veterans as they transition into the next chapter of their lives.” “Darlington Raceway is fortunate to be located close to a number of military installations throughout the Carolinas, so it’s important that we support programs that benefit our military members serving right here in our region,” Wile continued. By providing scholarships for use at post-secondary schools, including trade schools, the VFW and Sport Clips’ goal is to continue their strong support of the military, while making the transition from military life to the civilian workplace a little easier. To date, Sport Clips has given more than $1.2 million in scholarships to help service members and veterans in the next chapter of their lives, with new scholarships being awarded every semester.

WWW.NEWSANDPRESS.NET ChurCh of the Week: Salem Black River Presbyterian Church, Part 1 By Bill Segars Guest Writer Several weeks ago I mentioned that when a local person finds out about my interest in old churches, they invariably will ask about two buildings: Pisgah in Florence County, and our church this week, Salem Black River Presbyterian in Sumter County. Both are very striking in appearance, and are located on welltraveled roads. After fielding questions about both buildings over the last 12 years, less seems to be known about Salem than Pisgah. It’s almost mystical in the unknown air of this building. Salem, located at 1060 North Brick Church Road (Hwy 527) outside of Mayesville, is in a more remote area than Pisgah. It doesn’t have a church office or a regular preacher, so there is very seldom a car parked at the building. The church just sits beside the road all by its self, leaving everyone that sees it to wonder about its history. Does it have an active congregation? If so, when do they meet? The questions run from one end of the spectrum to the other, but all are interesting. There is a historical marker in the front yard and many people do stop by to read it; the marker only piques their interest for more information concerning this stately building. The present building is old, built in 1846, but Salem Meeting House was established well before that, in 1759, as a daughter church of Williamsburg Presbyterian in Kingstree. David Anderson, a captain in the militia, donated a portion of his 300 acre 1753 land grant near the Black River for the construction of a log-meeting house. In 1768, that building was torn down; a wood framed building was erected on the same ground, facing the Kingstree to Camden Road. In 1780, it was around this building that Gen. Thomas Sumter’s militia and Lt. Col. Banastre “Bloody” Tarleton’s British regulars bivouacked under the trees at different times as they tracked each other in the American Salem Black River Presbyterian in Sumter County. Revolutionary’s back woods battle. Luckily, Tarleton left without burning the church, which he had a habit of doing. After the Revolutionary War, the Scots-Irish in the area felt the need for a larger, more substantial building that they built using brick in 1802, again on the same sacred ground. By now, the name of Salem Black River Presbyterian Church had been adopted. This brick building served the congregation well for 44 years; but the congregation may not have served the building well, because by the early 1840’s their building was determined to be “beyond repair”. A committee of six men was established to begin the process of building a new building, what we would know today as “the building committee”. These men drew the basic plans for the present building on one sheet of paper. The plan was enough information for the J. Lomas & Company of Columbia to provide a price of $5,620 to build the designed building. It was also agreed that the thousands of brick needed to construct the exterior solid brick walls would be made from the clay that could be found locally. The 2709 square foot building is PHOTO BY BILL SEGARS truly a marvel of construction for any time frame, but particularly for 1846. Its Greek Revival style building measures 45’ 8” X 59’ 4” plus a 8’ X 45’ 8” front porch. This article, and others, has mentioned “solid brick walls” which means that even as each brick is a solid unit (a brick unit not having holes, as we see today), but the entire wall is brick in its thickness, with no wood studs as most people we are accustomed to seeing today. A “solid brick wall” is a load-bearing wall, meaning the roof and floor load is carried and supported by these walls. Here at Salem, the foundation walls are 24” thick, and the main wall between the pilasters are 16” thick. The thinnest walls, at 8” thick, are the two gable walls in the attic. The pilasters, an extra thickness of brick, are positions in specific location due to extra load support needed at that location, rather than simply for appearance. Entering the interior of Salem Black River seems as if you are stepping back in time. Repairs have been made due to Hurricane Hugo damage, but the interior maintains its original charm in many of the origi- nal elements. The pews are handmade of pine lumber that has been faux painted to resemble oak wood. The pews maintain the original doors, with numbers assigned to individual families that rented that particular pew. The pew rental rate depended on the location of that pew as it related to the pulpit. It is recorded in the early years of the church, that if all of the pews were rented, $945 per year could be raised; typically this money was assigned to pay the preacher. Mr. W. T. White of Charleston made the balcony railing for the cost of $148.41. The freight charge to have it delivered from Charleston was $3.88. That’s enough construction lesson for one session; let’s get back to the history of the building itself. Even though the building appears to be original, and in fact it has not changed in size or appearance, it has been maintained. Primarily its repairs have occurred due to natural disasters. Six large steel shields, which are attached to three steel earthquake rods running through the 45’ 8” width of the building, can be seen up high on the exterior walls. These were installed after August 31, 1886, when Charleston was struck by an approximate 7.0 on the moment magnitude scale earthquake which shook the east coast. Then the copper roof was replaced after September 22, 1989 due to Hugo. Other minor repairs, some helpful and some not as much, have been performed over the building’s 169 year life; all was done not to have a repeat of the 1802 building’s “beyond repair” condition. There are many more interesting facts about this building, and the people that love it enough to make sacrifices. Next week you will be able to learn more about these facts, and most importantly how you can witness the feeling of worshiping in and serving in this historic jewel affectionately known as the Old Brick Church. Bill Segars has a strong love and appreciation for history, having grown up on a farm in Kelleytown on land that has been in the family since 1821 . He uses his 39-year building career to combine with his love of history to develop a passion for historical restoration. Segars was able to find, photograph and research more than 700 religious edifices throughout the state. A short chat about a long life By Samantha Lyles Staff Writer slyles@newsandpress.net Mr. Lucas Dargan of Darlington recently celebrated his 98th birthday with a lively party at his South Charleston Road home, but he took a moment away from the revels to sit down with us and share a few recollections from his exceptional life. “I was born in the house right across the road, and my father died when I was about a year and a half old. We moved to town when I was three years old, so I grew up in Darlington,” says Lucas. He says that while his mother held onto the family farm and his brother farmed it, he had a different path in mind. “I decided when I was in fifth grade that I was going to be a forester,” he says, and he followed that dream to college at North Carolina State – but only because Clemson University didn’t have a forestry program at the time. He then switched over to study wildlife management at Utah State. “I had never been out of North and South Carolina until I took off for Utah,” says Lucas. After graduation, he spent time researching wildlife in the rugged, beautiful wilds of western Colorado, and then moved on to Maryland and a job with the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Shortly thereafter, Dargan enlisted in the Navy and became “a tin can sailor” on a destroyer. “A destroyer has no armor,” Lucas explains. “We used to say that a destroyer’s armor is supposed to keep out water and small fish – a large fish being a torpedo.” Dargan served 37 months of sea duty and spent the last months of World War II putting destroyers into mothballs in Norfolk, Virginia. “We had to keep them in good condition because we were thinking we might have to Lucas Dargan PHOTO BY SAMANTHA LYLES use them against the Russians,” he says. He returned briefly to his job in Maryland, but found the far-future aspect of research work unsatisfying. “I said I didn’t want to be working on something that won’t be used in the field for fifty years. I want to see the improvement next year,” says Dargan, who went into more hands-on consulting work for farmers and landowners. Lucas estimates he planted over a million pine trees within the first five years of his consulting career, which he stuck with until his retirement four years ago. Dargan now lives in a home built by his uncle around 1904, and though he walks with a cane, he gets around pretty well. Daily life is eased and brightened by his housemate Lois, one of his four daughters. “She’s in charge of this house now, and I’m very fortunate to have her,” says Lucas. Asked about his all-girl offspring, Dargan gives a smile and a little laugh. CHAT ON 2B DDRA, city officials, friends and family join Tiffany Williamson, center, at Salon 316 ribbon cutting. PHOTO BY SAMANTHA LYLES Salon 316 is “dream come true” for owner By Samantha Lyles Staff Writer slyles@newsandpress.net Darlington’s newest hair styling center, Salon 316, was formally introduced with a July 21 ribbon cutting ceremony and open house staged by the Darlington Downtown Revitalization Association. Friends and family joined DDRA board members and City of Darlington government representatives to welcome salon owner Tiffany Williamson (center, left) to the city’s business community. Williamson says opening Salon 316 is the culmination of a long-held dream, and the business name conveys her belief in the higher power that helped her dream come true. “I got it from the Bible verse John 3:16 because I felt that God so loved me that He gave me a gift to do hair, and I’m just so grateful for it,” says Williamson. Salon 316 serves clients of all ages and offers a wide variety of hair styling options, from flat ironing to permanent waves, in a cheerful and sunny setting. Formerly home to a tax preparation office, repurposing the space required a major overhaul, and Williamson attended to every detail – from flooring to painting to décor – with one goal in mind. “I want an atmosphere that is relaxed and conducive for everyone to feel comfortable and welcome here,” Williamson says. Mayor Tony Watkins thanked Williamson for placing her faith and her resources in Darlington. “What I see here is pride and investment, and if you’ve got that spirit to succeed, you will succeed,” said Watkins. Salon 316 is located at 5081 Pearl Street in Darlington, phone 843-409-9295. society GOT SOCIETY NEWS? Email editor@newsandpress.net or call Jana 843-393-3811. JULY 29, 2015 | PAGE 2B THE NEWS AND PRESS, DARLINGTON, S.C. WWW.NEWSANDPRESS.NET CROSSWORD Darlington native receives award On Sunday, July 12, 2015, the 9th Masonic District under the leadership of District Deputy Kevin N. Brown attended church service at New Zion Baptist Church in Sardis, SC as a manifestation of honor in the memory of Brother Johnny “Son” James, Sr. Brother James was a charter member of Morning Light Lodge #430 located in Florence, South Carolina. Joining Morning Light Lodge were several other brothers from Riven Rock Lodge #60, as well as Sisters from Naomi Chapter #93, Order of the Eastern Star. While the purpose of the visitation was to commemorate the memory of Brother Johnny “Son” James, the members present found it befitting to also award District Deputy Brother Kevin N. Brown, 32°, an accolade illustrating his dedication and hard work to the 9th Masonic District which consists of close to 900 brothers within 24 lodges located in Florence County, South Carolina. “This isn’t about me,” says Brown, “This is about preserving our heritage and never forgetting about those who left us as gatekeepers of the wisdom they shared and illustrated through their lives and legacies.” Brother Brown also states “I give all honor to God, who is the head of my life. I thank him for placing me in the midst of the Brothers of the 9th Masonic District and the Eastern Stars. I also thank my family and the great communities of Darlington and Florence which have been very receptive to the service of the 9th Masonic District.” Brown asserts that the 9th Masonic District is just getting started, and Florence and surrounding areas will continue to see the efforts manifold exponentially. Kiwanis awards scholarship The Darlington Kiwanis Club presented one of two scholarships to Darlington High School graduate Krystal S. Brown. She is pictured here with her grandmother Ruth Zimmerman and Club President Bobby Kilgo. She is the daughter of Delores Zimmerman. Brown plans to attend College of Charleston, major in biochemistry, and become a pharmacist. The Darlington Kiwanis Club meets every other Thursday at Darlington Country Club with a mission to help children through fundraisers and a variety of community projects. The club can be found on Facebook: DarlingtonKiwanis.

The open-air monthly market is a partnership between Darlington Downtown Revitalization Association, the City of Darlington and a dedicated group of volunteers that began in 2011.

PAGE 6B | WEDNESDAY JULY 29, 2015 Print vs. Digital Books – Does it matter to you? By Jimmie Epling Director Darlington County Library System First let me say it will be a long, long time before anyone will ever walk into a location of the Darlington County Library System and ask, “Where are the books?” With all the changes going on at the Library and our website becoming a “digital branch,” you need not worry that one day you will enter one of our locations to find no books. Now that said, there is a shift happening. This has put some libraries under fire as they shift from print to digital books. A couple of weeks ago, State Librarian Leesa Benggio spoke to the Hartsville Kiwanis about the services offered by the State Library to public libraries throughout the state. Afterward, a couple approached her to have her settle their ongoing discussion about print versus digital books. He, a retired businessman, and she, a retired school librarian, had been debating whether libraries should encourage and promote the reading of print books over ebooks. When asked to weigh in, Ms. Benggio’s response was it doesn’t matter what we as librarians and individuals might like, our customers have already weighed in on that debate and decided. They want both. You hear reports from around the country that public libraries are slashing their print collections in favor of ebooks. Some have even prompted heated protests. In New York City, protesters shouted: “Save the stacks! Save the stacks!” in response to a plan to do away with seven floors of book stacks to free up 10,000 square feet for writers, researchers, and jobseekers. The $300 million renovation was cancelled, but officials maintained the project would have modernized the library and provided increased digital access to its resources. Eliminating so much of the print collection was extreme. The Fairfax County Library System in Northern Virginia has reduced its print collection by nearly 1 million books since 2009. This sparked what the director there called a feud with the Friends of the Library. Dennis Hays, a former U.S. ambassador and chairman of Fairfax Library Advocates, a group of residents at war with library officials said, “Nothing can take the place of a book.” That view is a bit too narrowly focused, in my opinion. Here in South Carolina, the Richland County Library System is exploring a new concept in library service called the “Library as Studio.” The library’s leaders are shifting “the library from being a warehouse of books to a place of vibrant 21st century learning.” The Library as Studio concept “is about creating the conditions that promote the activities that are timeless, even though the tools are not. The goal is a library that will grow for 20 years.” Creating spaces for creativity has required some renovating of the central library and removal of book stacks. Richland County has just embarked on their evolution into a “studio” library. Time will tell if the community embraces the new service model. As State Librarian Leesa Benggio pointed out to the couple, our community and the market have spoken. Ebooks are not a passing fad. They have changed where and when we read. The Library is passionately committed to providing ebooks, e-magazines, and eaudio books for our “digital branch.” The clock cannot be turned back to a time before ebooks. They are here to stay and personally I am glad. Count me among those who enjoy the convenience of ebooks. The Library will be buying more e-books this year. Their use has increased every year, so it only makes sense we will commit more funds to purchasing e-books. Local children’s book author to sign books at Market on Darlington Square Charlotte K. Berger, Advertising Director for the News and Press and local author, has been writing most of her life. On August 1 and Sept. 5, 2015, Berger will hold a book signing from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Market on Darlington Square for her children’s books entitled, “Doozy the Lonely Firefly”, and her second book, “Snazzy Razzy.” In March, 2006, she won the Editor’s Choice Award for her poem entitled, “A Survivor’s Longing” from the International Library of Poetry. “I am looking forward to my scheduled book signings. I am planning a third book signing at Shoney’s in Hartsville in September. (Date will be announced.) All of my children’s books fall under my theme of Doozy and Thoozy Children’s Books. I thank God; He gave me an imagination I can use to make others happy through my love for writing. I have always loved creating stories and poetry, ever since I learned how to hold a pencil. It is one of my favorite hobbies, and I enjoy writing non-fiction as well,” said Berger. Berger is also working on her upcoming book entitled “My Bluemoon”, which will be an inspirational book about her journey as breast cancer survivor for the past 10 years. “Doozy the Lonely Firefly”, Berger’s first children’s book, was published in 2006. In March 2009, she pulled her work from that publisher and in 2011, she republished the same book with a new publisher at www.xlibris.com. The book can be purchased there by entering Doozy in the Charlotte Berger in her office at the News and Press in Darlington with her book, “Doozy the Lonely Firefly” search engine. “Xlibris has been a great publisher for me so far. It took a lot of research to choose the right publisher for my books, as I didn’t have a great experience with the first one. There are thousands of publishers out there on the Internet and it is a learning process as well as an ongoing effort to make sure you are able to review and follow your royalty and sales status. With Xlibris, I am able to do that so far. It is really important,” said Berger. Berger will release her second children’s book, “Snazzy Razzy”, in September 2015 and will also hold another book signing on September 5, 2015, which will also be held at the Market on Darlington Square event. Her books are filled with full-color illustrations by local artists and translators. “In addition to the English version, “Doozy the Lonely Firefly is also translated in Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese and all of these versions were translated by local translators I know. In everything I do, I give God credit. With God, all things are possible and without Him, I could do nothing. I feel the Lord places people in our lives for whatever reason, as God always knows what is best for us more than we do. When I was trying to find my translators and artists for my books, it seems that they just seem to ‘show up’ in my life. What a blessing it is to have great friends and people you grow to love and cherish, not only for what they do for you, but for who they are,” she said. Berger’s first children’s book has been on the best selling list on Amazon.com and all of the online bookstores as well as in Barnes & Noble in Florence, SC and in bookstores in the UK and other countries. It is also in the Darlington County School System and the Darlington County Public Library System. Berger also does ghostwriting for aspiring “want to be authors” who have a transcript, but are unsure how to go about publishing their work. “I do ghostwriting for those who may have written a book on paper but have no idea what to do next. I enjoy what I do and also love my career here at the News and Press. Everyday is a learning experience and the people here are the best,” said Berger. “I appreciate all those who have purchased my books over the years and look forward to seeing my second children’s book published, “Snazzy Razzy”, in September. I am not an expert; however, there’s more to publishing books than just writing them. I have learned a lot over the years about the process of getting a book published and I learned a lot about the publishing process. All of my works are copyrighted and in the process of being trademarked. It is not an overnight process or a ‘get rich’ tactic; but once you submit your copyright form to the U.S. Copyright Office in Washington, DC, then immediately your work is protected. However, that still doesn’t mean that someone won’t try to claim it for this or her own. I am very cautious and monitor all of my books and work. You just gave to go on faith and trust God in all things. I hope to see a lot of little smiling faces on my August 1, 2015 book signing for Doozy the Lonely Firefly. I am not a famous author like some of the other great writers we all know, but I will keep on being “me” and bringing happiness and joy to God’s little angels, the children as long as the Lord allows me,” Berger concluded.

Caring for Tricia Meinhold, right here at home. Dr. Prashant Deshmane and Tricia Meinhold The hands that heal, the ties that bind. T ricia Meinhold felt like she was on her last legs — or at least her last knees. The very active, very busy Vice President for the Student Experience at Coker College had suffered increasing knee pain for two years, and it was affecting both her work and her life. The boundless energy on the job and great enjoyment of outdoor activities she was known for were being eroded by the constant and growing discomfort of knees that would no longer carry her properly. Tricia feared both surgery and the prospect of having to go elsewhere to get it. But then she felt a wave of relief when her primary care physician, Dr. Abraham Areephanthu, told her there was no need to worry and no need to travel. He referred her to Dr. Prashant Deshmane, adult reconstruction/sports medicine orthopaedic surgeon at Carolina Pines Regional Medical Center. Upon review of her situation and diagnosis of the problem, Dr. Deshmane performed same day bilateral knee replacement surgery. Tricia’s damaged knees were replaced with metal alloy joints glued in place. “It’s a state-of-the-art procedure, and we’re well equipped and well experienced to do it right here at Carolina Pines,” said Dr. Deshmane. The results? “I feel like the bionic woman,” said Tricia. “The difference is like night and day, and it has given me a new lease on life.” The medical hands that heal, the community ties that bind. That’s Carolina Pines. 1304 West Bobo Newsom Highway Hartsville, South Carolina 29550 (843) 339-2100 www.cprmc.com This hospital is partially owned by physicians.
