Duke Energy South Carolina president Clark
Gillespy read “Papa's Mechanical Fish” to a
crowd of very energetic 2nd graders at
Thornwell Elementary.
Students at Hartsville's Thornwell
Elementary School for the Arts got a special treat last week when representatives of
Duke Energy dropped in for a storytime
session and gave kids bookbags they could
fill with eight books of their choosing – a
gift to keep them reading over the summer.
The visit was part of Duke's support for
the Reading is Fundamental (RIF) Read for
Success intervention program, aimed at
minimizing the “summer learning slide”
that affects many 2nd graders and causes
them to enter 3rd grade with diminished
literacy skills. The program sends books
home with kids over the summer, motivating them to continue reading and keep
their comprehension and language abilities sharp.
Tested for two years on 33,000 students
across 16 states, the RIF program helped
reverse the trend of learning loss and even
improved reading proficiency in over half
the participants.
Two Darlington County
law enforcement officers,
Robert
McIntyre
and
John Specht, named in the
wrongful death lawsuit
brought by the estate of
Ernest Russell of Darlington,
settled claims against them
last week in the amount of
$500,000. Russell died after
being shot during the execution of a no-knock warrant
led by the Darlington County
Drug Enforcement Unit to
search for illegal gambling on
October 21, 2011 at a building at 1312 S. Main Street in
Darlington, according to documents on record with the
U.S. District Court, District of
South Carolina Florence
Division.
The lawsuit was filed by
Ernestine Wingate as person-
al representative of the Estate
of Ernest Russell against the
following defendants:
Wayne Byrd, both individually and in his official capacity
as the Sheriff of Darlington
County; Darlington County
Sheriff’s Office; Darlington
County; The City of Darlington
Police Department; The City of
Darlington; Ben Weatherford;
Robert McIntyre; Clyde M.
Shepherd; John Specht;
Judith Kate Green, and John
Does 1 – 10.
According to documents,
all defendants have been
released from the lawsuit
and/or settled with the
exception of Darlington
County Sheriff’s Office
Sgt.
Ben
Weatherford,
Darlington County, and
Darlington County Sheriff
Wayne Byrd.

OP-ED
Memorial Day
Memories
By Bill shepard
Memorial Day – Remembering out fallen heroes of all our
wars. It might be correct to say that the practice of placing flowers on the graves of those killed in time of war began with the
time of the Civil War. There is much to be said about the changes
that have occurred through the years about Memorial Day celebrations, but this is about Memorial Day activities when I was a
small boy and attending St. John’s Elementary School in the
town of Darlington, S.C.
The year could have been any one of the late 20’s or early 30’s
of the past century. The scene is happening on the campus of the
elementary school. Hundreds of children are standing in line formation, each holding a bouquet of flowers in his or her hands.
Not a sound is heard, except when the teacher at the head of the
line speaks. The children, dressed in their best school clothing
and holding their bouquets of flowers made a picture worth
remembering. The flowers had been gathered the day before
from along roadsides, ditch banks, or wherever they could be
found. This writer was among that number, dressed in his best
overalls and shirt that matched. His bouquet of Scotland
Bluebells had been gathered from along the edges of the mill village cemetery near his home. He felt as proud as a soldier on the
parade grounds. We were awaiting directions from the one in
charge to give the order to move in the direction of the town
square. J.C. Daniel, the loved and respected superintendent of
the Darlington County Schools would give the command at the
proper time. What a picture that must have been, what a memory! I wish I could print it out of my mind for all to see!
Unbelievable discipline, few if any school would dare such a feat
today.
Like little soldiers and feeling just as proud, the line would
begin to move in the direction of the town square where the
“Tomb of the Unknown Soldier” stood on the courthouse lawn.
The only sound to be heard was that of little feet pounding the
paved streets. No pushing and shoving, not a word was spoken,
as hundreds of little children made their way to the designated
spot where the tomb stood. It would take several minutes to complete the march through the busiest section of the town. At the
tomb, each child would place their flowers on the tomb and then
return to their line, where their teacher would be waiting. The
return to school would follow the same orderly routine. Back at
school, the children would be commended for a performance
well done. As a reward, Mr. Daniels would allow school to be dismissed early.
The flowers that covered the “Tomb of the Unknown Soldier”
from top to bottom would remain for several days. It was indeed
a beautiful thing to behold, and the memory is just as beautiful.
How long this practice was continued at the school, I do not
know. My sister, years younger than me, recalls taking part in the
event, and so do others who I spoke with. Perhaps there is someone reading this who could help? We would like to hear from
you.
Mr. Shepard is a native of Darlington, S.C., and a current resident of Piedmont, S.C. He is the 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. His mailing address for cards and letters is: Bill Shepard 324

Remember the Sacrifice
letters to the editor
For the last few months the entire country has been obsessed with he elections.
Who wins the elections is important, and a
day of major significance for our country.
Let us not forget that without the veterans, there might not be elections in this
country we call home. You get to vote
because of their service and sacrifices.
Memorial Day as set aside to remember
those who gave their all so we could have
this right, and to assure the freedom and
way of life we enjoy today.
This Memorial Day let us fly our flags at
half-staff as a symbol of our gratitude. Let’s
also extend a hand of thanks to a veteran
that we know or meet, family member,
friend, or stranger.
We, as a grateful nation, should pause
and remember.
Hope to see you at the Darlington
Veterans Memorial Park ceremony in
Darlington on May 30th.

In support of Tony Chavis
I just thought I would take this time to
say a few things about Darlington County
Sheriff candidate Tony Chavis. I met Tony
Chavis thru my dad that worked with the
Darlington County Sheriff's Office for over
18 years. I grew up around law enforcement all my life and knowing Tony Chavis
was running for Sheriff it inspired my husband and I to finally register to vote.
Tony Chavis is a wonderful man that
enforces our laws but does it in a very professional and respectful manner. Our
county is listed as one of the worst counties to live in and Mr. Chavis is the kind of
leader we need to turn our county into the
best county around. I along with many
other Chavis supporters have lost trust
and respect for Darlington County
Sheriff's Office. Mr. Chavis is going to get
our neighborhood watches back up and
going and also wants to get citizens input
on concerns and advice we may have. I
have never heard of a Sheriff wanting to
have citizen meetings or get advice from
citizens on anything. That's the way it
should be and exactly what our county
needs. Mr. Chavis is trustworthy, loyal,
respectful and only wants what is best for
our county and to make it great again. He
treats every citizen with the upmost
respect and equal. He doesn't judge people based on their lifestyle, looks or their
past. Tony Chavis has even given out his
personal cell phone number to every citizen and encourages them to call him at
anytime they need to speak with him. He
is the best man for our sheriff and that's
why he will always have my vote. Thank
you for your time.
Rebakah Thames
Hartsville, SC
Over the last few years our county has
suffered many devastating events and
undergone many deplorable and embarrassing situations that will haunt and monetarily cost us for many years to come. It's
time we had a change that we are and can
be proud of. A change with a man that is an
upstanding citizen. One who has served
and fought for not only his county, but his
country.
Tony Chavis will be the breath of fresh
air and the wind of change this county and
the citizens need. We need guidance, loyalty, honesty, and we need to be able to trust
again. Not only in the office he would be
holding but in the system as well. We need
Tony Chavis as sheriff. We need his determination, his love for Darlington County, his
leadership and his upstanding morals and
values as not only of a future leader, but as a
man, a father, and a husband. It is time for a
change.., and that change is Tony Chavis.
Amy James
Hartsville, S.C.
I know that some people may not know
Tony Chavis or anything about his character and I would like express my feelings
about him and his family. They are very
loyal. They give 110 % to anything they do.
Tony was a Marine and was deployed to
Operation Desert Storm to fight for everyone in America. Now Tony wants to serve
as Sheriff of Darlington County to help our
communities stronger. He is a man of his
word. He's humble and treats everyone
fairly. He doesn't see skin color, he sees
the person.
My husband was in law enforcement
and anytime the county needed back up, if
Tony was in the area, he would assist. He's

the type that can sit down with a stranger
and stand back up with a fiend. His wife
Denise even jokes about not taking him
places because he loves to talk to people. I
truly believe he will restore faith in the
Darlington County Sheriff's office, and
build community relationships. If anyone
hasn't met him, they can call him. He'll talk
to them in person or over the phone. He is
listening to the people. He will not disappoint the citizens. He loves and cares too
much.

I would like to write to you concerning
Tony Chavis. I have known Tony for over
25 years. He has always impressed me as a
man of integrity. He is active in the community and can be seen playing ball out at
the field on practice and game days with
the little ones. He is kind and gentle, yet
strong and ethical. He is always wearing a
smile and would do anything to help others. He is a man that Darlington County
needs to led their officers. As a wife of an
officer, I would love to know Tony was the
man at the helm. He is about service to our
community. We need more people in elected offices who have a servant’s attitude
and he is the man with this.
Ronette Weeks
Hartsville, S.C.
I was writing to tell you about Mr Tony
Chavis. He is such a great man. He's honest, fair, and treats each person he meets
with respect. He is a God fearing man and
he is who and what we need for our sheriff.
Darlington County needs someone like this
to lead our DCSO. Tony Chavis puts his all
in to his work and he tries to make everyone happy and satisfied.
I am praying and hoping that this is a
new beginning for our county because
after this election when Tony Chavis
becomes our new sheriff you will see a lot
of change and it will be a good change. We
need a good Christian man to run our
county and Tony Chavis is that man.
Thank you.

Ordinance 15-32, proposing a $3.5 million general
obligation bond to fund
improvements at the landfill
and Environmental Services
Department, failed to clear
third reading. Kilgo said he
could not support the bond
ordinance due to inadequate
information from engineering and planning firm
Michael Baker International
regarding other funding
sources or options, such as
outsourcing all garbage and
recycling operations to a private vendor.
All present voted against
the ordinance and the measure failed 6 to 0.
Council also rejected a
proposed contract of $35,000
for Emergency Services
Consulting International to
evaluate service performance
and organizational conditions with the county Fire
District and EMS.
Hudson, Kilgo, Johnson,
Brock, Douglas, and Coker all
voted against this idea, with
Coker suggesting that the
county should examine any
issues internally rather than
contracting
an
outside
agency.
A request to add $5,500 to
the previously approved purchase of a fire tanker received
unanimous approval, with
the new total adjusted to
$381,569. The purchase will
be made with proceeds of the
Fire District's 5 mill bond.

Darlington County added to nation’s largest farm tour
Join the nation’s largest,
self-guided free farm tour in
Darlington County on June 4-5.
See where your food comes
from, watch artists in action,
purchase something special,
and learn more about rural life.
The tour has welcomed more
than 20,000 visitors since it
began in 2012 with the mission
to connect consumers with producers. The self-guided tour
features local artisans, farmers
markets, and working farms.
Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday, June 4, and from 1 to
5 p.m. Sunday, June 5.
While Darlington County
locations will be featured on
June 4-5, eight other counties
are participating as well. Also
during the first weekend of
June, Chesterfield and Horry
Counties will hold their tours.
On June 11-12, Lancaster and
York Counties will be featured.
On June 18-19, Kershaw and
Fairfield Counties will be featured, and on June 25-26 check
out Chester and Union
Counties farms.
The month-long affair has
blossomed from its origins in
2012
where
Clemson
University
Cooperative
Extension began the tour in
York County in cooperation
with the Olde English District
and Catawba Farm and Food
Coalition. The South Carolina
Ag + Art Tour once fit into one
weekend, but now spans the
entire month of June. Each
year, the team has added farms
and counties, widening its economic impact, and it has doubled the number of participating counties in the last year.
“I was so jealous when I saw
the Ag + Art passports and
marketing materials last year,
and I wondered how we could
be part of such a great idea,”
says Suzy Moyd, executive

bills is currently the sole
source of revenue for county

against
Hudson
Ordinance 16-13, but it
passed by a vote of 4 to 2.
Ordinance 16-15, designating Rubicon as the agency
of record for alcohol and drug

with only Kilgo voting
against. The contract authorizes payment of $104,341 to
Rubicon for salaries and operational expenses, with funds
coming from mini-bottle revenue.

According to the South
Carolina Law Enforcement
Division (SLED) investigative
report by Special Agent Glenn
McLellan on November 15,
2011, Sgt. Ben Weatherford
was interviewed five days after
the incident, on October 26,
2011, in the presence of his
attorney, Paul Cannarella. In
the SLED report, Weatherford
provided a voluntary typed
statement. The following is
verbatim account from the
SLED report:
“Sgt. Weatherford said
after they could not force
entry using the rear door, Sgt.
Weatherford went to the front
door which was unlocked. Sgt.
Weatherford said he entered
the building yelling “Sheriff’s
Office Search Warrant.” Sgt.
Weatherford pulled out his
duty weapon and continued to
announce “Sheriff’s Office.”
Sgt. Weatherford observed
Judith Green walking away
from the counter with her
hands
up.
Then,
Sgt.
Weatherford observed Ernest
Russell bending over behind
the counter. Sgt. Weatherford
continued to tell Ernest Russell
to show his hands but he
would not do it. Sgt.
Weatherford observed a gun
in Ernest Russell’s right hand
and Ernest Russell laid the gun
down on the counter but did
not take his hand off of the
gun. Sgt. Weatherford said
Ernest Russell raised the gun
towards him and Sgt.
Weatherford shot Ernest
Russell.”
In his typed statement,
Weatherford noted the following:
• Identified himself as a
police officer several times
upon entering the second door
• Told Russell to put his
hands up several times
• Instructed Russell to drop
his gun several times
The SLED file reports that
shots were also fired by Cpl.
Robert McIntyre.
Documented evidence in
this case challenges the accuracy of officers’ sworn statements
given to SLED. The News and
Press will continue to share
information about this case as
it becomes available.

Makor K9 along with Darlington County Sheriff ’s Office is hosting a
K9 seminar this week at the Darlington Raceway. On May 17 they
were visited by Holly Cripps of Georgia. She is the founder of “We
Ride to Provide” a nonprofit that solely runs on donations to provide
first-aid kits to K9’s and their handlers. Through her organization
she has provided 1320 first-aid kits to officers all across the United
States along with several other Countries. “We Ride to Provide” is
the only organization that hosts an annual memorial for K9’s killed
in the line of duty. This memorial is held the 1st Saturday of March
every year.
According to Sheriff Byrd, Cripps made a trip from Georgia to
Darlington County today to present three deputies from Darlington
County Sheriff ’s Office along with an officer from Polizei Prasidium
Sudhessen, Police Station Pfungstadt in Germany with four first aid
kits for their K9’s. These kits were donated by T. Smith, of Georgia,
in memory of Investigator TJ Freeman, of the Macon-Bibb County
Sheriff ’s Office, who died in the line of duty on May 5, 2016.
Investigator TJ Freeman’s, K9 Zilo, died on June 11, 2015.
These first-aid kits generously donated through Cripps program
have saved seven dogs and two men. “We Ride to Provide” has a
Facebook page and you can follow the links on the page to make a
donation to help provide first-aid kits to other K9 handlers. There is
also a website www.weridetoprovide.com to learn more about the

Shining Star Lodge #235,
Knights of Pythias under the
leadership
of
Chancellor
Commander, Sir Kevin N.
Brown, is seeking to grow their
chapter in the Pee-Dee area.
In October of 2015, Brown
restarted the historic organization and has since brought in
over 40 new members. “It’s
about connecting with others
who wish to promote and provoke change through service in
our communities.”
On May 5, 2016 members of
Shining Star Lodge #235 participated in a day of service to the
community. They made a presentation of water and Gatorade
to the Darlington County Little
League; toured the Darlington
County Historic Commission
with Brian Gandy; provided
canned goods and non-perishable items to The Lord Cares
food bank; and laid a wreath
and performed a memorial at
the gravesite of Rev. Sir I.P.
Brockington. “Remembering the
leaders who paved the way for
us, who laid the foundation and
set the path for us to follow is
pivotal in ensuring the tenants of
the organization do not change
with the times.”
The day of community service culminated with a monetary
donation to Mr. Jermaine
Nowline, who recently lost his
home in a fire. “These are the
things that are most important
to us. The impact on lives and

The 16 students in the
inaugural class of Accelerate,
the
South
Carolina
Governor’s School for Science
& Mathematics’ (GSSM) virtual engineering program,
received their certificates of
completion on Saturday, May
21, 2016, at the Palmetto Club
in Columbia.
The students represent five
South Carolina high schools:
River Bluff High School in
Lexington, J.L. Mann High
School in Greenville, D.W.
Daniel High School in
Central, Summerville High
School in Summerville and
Lexington High School in
Lexington.
Ninety-four percent of the
students will attend South
Carolina colleges and universities in the fall.
The award and recognition
ceremony was designed to
celebrate their achievements
and successful completion of
this one-of-a-kind, three-year
engineering program.
Originally launched with
private support, Accelerate is
currently funded through a
combination of corporate
partnerships and funds from
the South Carolina General
Assembly. The program
stresses mastery of the foundational tools of engineering,
such as physics, calculus and
chemistry, but also places significant emphasis on realworld, team-based projects,
creativity and communication.
“We are so proud of what
our inaugural class has been
able
to
do
through
Accelerate,” said Dr. Karen
Den Braven, GSSM Director
of Engineering Programs.
“These students have worked
incredibly hard over the past
three years and we’re excited
to see what is in store for
them as they continue to pursue their engineering education.”

Extends a special “Thank You” to all my deaf friends and my
deaf professor who encouraged me to learn this unique
language. Through God & determination,
I achieved my dream in earning my
“American Sign Language Certification
for the Hearing Impaired.” I can now
communicate and help others who are
deaf. With God’s help I plan to earn a
degree in Human Services and am only a
few credits away from that goal.
Never Give Up!
Anything worthwhile is worth achieving!

For June, let's use the
Moon to help identify some
interesting stars that definitely aren't Sun-like.
On June 9th, look about 7
degrees above and left of the
crescent Moon to spot
"Regulus," the brightest star
in Leo, the Lion. Regulus is 79
light years away, 5 times the
diameter of the Sun, and 150
times brighter.
On the evening of June
10th, the Moon is halfway
between Regulus and Jupiter,
the "King of the Planets."
On June 14th, "Spica," the
brightest star in Virgo, the
Virgin, is less than 5 degrees
below the waxing gibbous
Moon. Spica is 250 light years
away, and it's also a double
star! The primary is 8 times
the Sun's diameter; the secondary is 4 times the diameter of the Sun. Combined
luminosity is 2,300 times that
of our star.
One hour after sunset on
June 17th, look south southeast to find the Moon, yellow
Saturn, and blazing red Mars
making a wide, flat triangle
with the base stretching
about 18-degrees connecting
the two planets.
On the night of June 18th 19th, the Moon and Saturn
are about 4 degrees apart.
Look below and right to spot
brilliant "Antares," the brightest star in Scorpius, the
Scorpion. Antares, the "Heart
of the Scorpion," is a Red
Supergiant, 550 light years
away, 700 times the diameter
of the Sun, and 17,000 times
brighter.
If the weather is clear,
check out these celestial
sights, but remember, you
have to "Keep looking up!"
Mercury Transit
Viewing in
Darlington
The rare glimpse of Mercury was
observed on Monday, May 9 at
the Darlington Library Branch as
ScienceSouth brought three telescopes for astronomy enthusiasts
to see the rare occurance.
According to Darlington Branch
Manager Gwen Robinson, the
event was a success. “We had 61
people participate in the viewing
of Mercury Transit,” she said.
“Thank you to ScienceSouth and
Francis Parnell for this opportunity.”

In order to gain a better understanding of the effect that PBS
digital resources have on student
knowledge and engagement, PBS
recently conducted a study of
middle school science, math,
English language arts, and social
studies
classrooms
where
resources available through PBS
LearningMedia were integrated
into existing curriculum. The PBS
LearningMedia Impact Study,
conducted
by
Education
Development Center’s Center for
Children and Technology, showed
that across subject areas, student
performance on content assessments
showed
significant
improvement, increasing by eight
percentage points. In addition,
students outperformed national
assessment norms by 10 percentage points, on average, and outperformed state assessment
norms, by an average of 11 percentage points. For more information and to view the full study,

Two Darlington High
student-athletes sign letters of intent
Two Darlington High School
student-athletes signed letters of
intent to compete at the college
level next year.
Marquis Green signed with
Coker College in Hartsville to
play basketball, and Darius
Green will play football for
Methodist University.
As a point guard, Marquis
averaged 15.4 points per game
for the Falcons in his senior year
to go along with 4.3 assists and
2.5 steals per game. He earned
all-region and all-state honors.
Marquis helped guide the
Falcons to a 62-19 overall record
during the past three seasons,
which included a pair of Region
6-3A titles and a lower state
championship.
“I’d like to thank God for giving me this opportunity,”
Marquis said. “This is a blessing
for me to be able to play and take
my talents to the next level. I’m
going to miss playing here at
Darlington, but I’m excited to
stay close to home so I’ll have
that support.”
Marquis also follows in sister
Jazz Green’s footsteps. She averaged 15.2 points per game last
season for the women Cobras.
Darius played as a wide
receiver for Darlington, and he
will head to Fayetteville, North
Carolina to play for the
Methodist University Monarchs.
As a senior he caught 31 passes
for 311 yards and two touchdowns. Defensively he had an
interception and 38 tackles last
season. He also earned an allregion designation.
“This feels like a blessing that
I get the opportunity to go play
at the next level and get better at
what I do,” Darius said. “I just
want to thank all of the coaches
for helping me out and my
future coaches for giving me the
opportunity. I learned at
Darlington that you always
should work hard, and it doesn’t
matter how you start. It’s how
you finish. Don’t ever let someone tell you can’t do something.”

Here’s Nemo!
When Nehemiah “Nemo”
Squire was just a toddler, his parents knew they had an athlete in
their home. The family spoke to
the News and Press prior to the
National AAU Middle School All
American Football game in
Virginia Beach on May 30th
where Squire will represent
Darlington and South Carolina.
“He learned to swing out of
his crib before he was a year
old,” said his mom, Lekeisha
Squire.
“We couldn’t figure out how
he was doing it, so we peeked
around his doorway from the
hall,” says his father, Prentice
Squire. “We put the crib mattress down as low as it would go,
but he was so strong he figured
out how to hoist his body weight
up with his arms.”
“I even found him one day
hanging by his hands onto the
towel rack in the bathroom,”
continued Lakeisha. “I was
shocked when I saw him there,
and he pulled up like he was
doing chin lifts. He looked so
determined, like he knew just
what he was doing.”
As he grew, his athletic
prowess continued. He tried a
few sports, but found football to
be his niche.
“I knew when I was playing
for the Darlington Recreation
Department that was going to be
my sport,” said Nehemiah. “I just
love it.”
The problem was, he got to
be so strong that his parents
were concerned he would be too
much for the other kids.
“I know it sounds crazy, but
we were more worried about the
other kids on the field than our
own son,” said Prentice. “We
knew we had to find a more
challenging place for him to
play.”
The family decided on the
AAU South Carolina is a travel
team. His team name is
Warriors,
based
out
of
Charleston – Summerville area,
and plays at the Fort Dorchester
High
School
in
North
Charleston.
Ever
the
innovator,
Nehemiah has created his own
training program with the help
of his father, and his grandfather’s farmland and barn has
inspired him to create challenging routines. He was seen
pulling a heavy tire – with the
rims intact – across the field on
his own.
The family home schools
their children, so the travel with
AAU becomes part of their daily
curriculum. They also adhere to
a very healthy organic and
whole-foods diet, which greatly
enhances their son’s athletic
ability.
The Amateur Athletic Union
(AAU) is one of the largest, nonprofit, volunteer, sports organizations in the United States. A
multi-sport organization, the
AAU is dedicated exclusively to
the promotion and development
of amateur sports and physical
fitness programs.
There are many teams in
Greenville, Spartanburg and
Columbia has two or three.
Myrtle Beach is getting one, and
Marion is talking about getting
one.
“The experience has been
great,” says Prentice. “The exposure has been unbelievable. AAU
has rankings, and media days;
he is ranked as one of the top
middle school players in the
world right now.”
Nehemiah is a running back
(RB) class of 2022; he currently
weighs 150 pounds, and is
extremely fast.
As Nemo prepares for what
will be his biggest game, he
shared that he relies on his faith
to get over the jitters:
“I just thank God for the tal-

(DHS) announced Friday that
Pam Frick will take over as
head coach of the school’s
volleyball team.
Frick has worked at DHS
since 1995 as a health and
physical education teacher.
Since 2013, she has been the
head coach of the school’s
junior varsity volleyball team
and an assistant coach for the
varsity team.
From 1995-2001, Frick
was the head coach for the
girls’ soccer team at DHS.
From 1992-1995, she worked
as a physical science, physical
education and health teacher
at Mayo High School for
Math,
Science
and
Technology.
Frick holds a Bachelor of
Pam Frick
Arts in Physical Education
from Newberry College and a
Master of Education in

Carolina.

ent he gave me, and I ask him to
help me on the field.”
According to Beady Waddell,
State Director for South Carolina
AAU Football, this local athlete
has a bright future.
“Nehemiah Squire "Nemo" as
we call him, also participated in
this combine and finished as our
#1 12u (Ages 11-13) Participant
placing Top 3 in all events
including the 40 yd Dash, L
Drill, Shuttle Drill, and Broad
Jump. Nemo played for our 12u
Low Country Warriors program
and made the All State Team
and All American Team for
South Carolina AAU Football.
He is an extremely awesome
student athlete. He is a leader
and hard worker. He has such a
bright future because he is well-
mannered, smart, a great
leader, and has an extremely
high work ethic. He is a coach’s
dream because he is so easy to
coach”
When Nehemiah is old
enough to play high school football, his parents will be looking
into allowing him to play for a
high school team; under new
homeschool guidelines, homeschooled students are able to
play for public schools.
According to Mr. Waddell
with the AAU, they will miss having him in the program when
that time arrives. “Nemo will go
as far in life as he wants to go
because he has be instilled to
have faith in God and his abilities and he has the traits on the
field and off the field to excel.”

Roosevelt Scott: A forty-year career in the art of brick masonry
By Jana E. Pye
Editor
Craftsman become artisans
through long hours of practice
and a discerning eye for detail.
Darlington native Roosevelt
Scott has been a brick mason
for 40 years, and is certainly
one of the finest artisans. He
recently completed a new
walkway from the City of
Darlington Administration
building on Pearl Street to the
lovely rose garden and fountain area between that building and the Council of Aging
location, directly across from
Piggly Wiggly.
Scott’s interest in the craft
came from Earl Johnson, a former bricklayer and mayor in
Darlington.
“He was my inspiration for
going into masonry,” said
Scott. “I had a football scholarship to the Trade School in
Denmark, at Vorhees College.”
The school is now the
Denmark Technical College.
“It’s a dying art,” he said.
“We don’t have any young people to take it over now. And
the schools dropped it from
their curriculum. Not everyone
can be doctors and lawyers…
someone has to build houses.
It’s an excellent trade, but
there is no one doing that.”
A program with the
District to teach bricklaying is
no longer operating. The closest place now is at the Sumter
County School District’s Career
and Technology Center.
“It’s a shame,” says Scott.
“We don’t have any of the
craftsmen, none of those arts
in school anymore.”
He admits it is not easy
work, and as with all construction work, depends on the
weather and workers must
work in uncomfortable temperatures.
Attempts to entice his son,
Cheveron Scott, into the family
business didn’t pan out.
“He told me he wanted to
take a year off from school,
and find out what he wanted
to do with is life. After he
worked for me over the summer, I told him, ‘Well, son, this
is what you will be doing the
rest of your life’ and he said,
‘No, sir, I believe I’ll go on to
school’” Scott laughs. “He went
on to law school. He practices
in Darlington, teaches paralegals at FDTC and is a judge at
the beach.”
Both Scotts are members of
the Order of Elks of the World.
For the project for the walkway on Pearl Street, Scott said
the process took about four
weeks with a team of four
workers. He prefers to train his
employees, “they have on the
job training with me” and most
of his crew has been with him
between 10 – 15 years.
The walkway surface is leveled first, shooting a grade to
determine where the water
will flow. A cement foundation
is poured, and leveled. Bricks
are laid out; this specific brick
walkway is a herringbone pattern. They are then allowed to
settle, and the crew returns to
grout them in place, working
with a section about 8 feet at a
time.
Scott uses bricks purchased
by Palmetto Brick in Florence,
a company that is over a century years old started by J.L.
Anderson on the shores of the
Great Pee Dee River valley, the
largest family-owned brick
maker in South Carolina, producing more than 150 million
brick per year. According to
the company, they remain one
of only a handful of Americanowned and operated brick
manufacturers in the U.S.
In addition projects like
this, Scott Construction does
commercial contracting and
repairs, and goes gutter and
curbing contracts for the State
of South Carolina “like catch
basins, and so forth” keeping
him very busy.
“I’m getting older,” said
Scott. “My son said it’s time to
set to the table, but I’m not
ready to slow down yet.”
Scott surveys the work, and
instructs his crew to clean up
to check on another project.
“We as Americans are losing out in our trades,” said
Scott. “Hate to say it, but we
are losing out by not teaching
the arts like landscaping, roofing, masonry. Young people
are losing out. They need it
back in the schools. We are
losing a lot skills, and there
won’t be guys like me to teach
them.”
Building the brick walkway takes approximately four weeks.

Shag to help the hungry at the
inaugural “Pearls and Jeans”
Harvest Hope Food Bank
announces the first “Pearls
and Jeans” event on June 9,
2016 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at
the Darlington Country Club
to support feeding the hungry
in the Pee Dee area.
“If you like Shag dancing,
this event is for you! If you
don’t know how to Shag, we
will have instructors on hand
to teach you the ropes,” said
Donna Lollis, Harvest Hope’s
donor relations manager in
the Pee Dee region. “You can
expect great beach music,
food, dance floor and more.
Whether you dance or not, this
is a great opportunity to help
support efforts to feed the
hungry in our local area.”
Lollis continued, “One in
every four children under the
age of five go to bed hungry in
our area. One in five citizens
missed a meal over the past
year because they lacked
resources to purchase food.
Last year Harvest Hope’s
Florence facility distributed
more than three million
pounds of food to 233,716
families by working with 145
agency partners in the Pee
Dee. Events like ‘Pearls and
Jeans’ help raise awareness
and help fight hunger in our
area.”
Harvest Hope’s Florence
location serves eight counties
in the Pee Dee including:
Chesterfield,
Clarendon,
Darlington, Dillon, Florence,
Lee,
Marlboro
and
Marion.
The Florence location works
with 145 agency partners in
the Pee Dee.

Miss DHS brings Chemo Care Bags to
McLeod
Miss Darlington High School Teen Aubrey Goodwin teamed up with
Darlington native Krista Abbott Byrd, Senior Executive Director for
Thirty- One Gifts to sell Chemo Care Bags. The bags were purchased

families in the areas. Each bag was filled with items to make patients
feel as comfortable as possible. Aubrey’s platform is “Standing Up
Against Cancer” for Miss South Carolina Teen competition in June.

Georgia-Pacific sponsors local teachers for STEM, civil, and economic programs
Four teachers from Mayo High School
for Math, Science & Technology have been
selected by Georgia-Pacific to attend
teacher’s programs that focus on developing science, technology, environmental
and math (STEM) skills, and learning in
economic and civil liberties.
Kelly Long, a biology and anatomy
teacher, and Ruth Taylor, a chemistry and
ecology teacher, will attend Keystone
Science School’s 2016 Key Issues Institute:
Bringing Environmental Issues to the
Classroom, this summer in Silverthorne,
Colorado. Long and Taylor are two of 17
teachers sponsored to attend Key Issues
from Georgia-Pacific’s facility communities
in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, New York,
Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee and
Wisconsin.
Held every June and July, the Key Issues
program brings together K-12 educators
from around the world for a highly interactive four and a half-day workshop. The program is designed to help teachers of all
subjects build students’ critical thinking
skills while also reinforcing teachers’ confidence and skills in bringing environmental
issues and STEM-based principles into the
classroom. Teachers work in teams to solve
“real-life” scenarios such as investigating
the source of a town’s health epidemic,
testing water quality of a nearby river and
building a sustainable cable-car model.
Teachers bring home lesson plans and lab
kits to apply what they’ve learned to their
local classrooms.
“Georgia-Pacific is proud to support
educators by helping them highlight
important environmental issues in engaging and creative ways,” said Mike Griffith,
director of Georgia-Pacific’s Darlington
Dixie plant. “The Keystone Science School
program gives teachers the chance to learn
about environmental issues first-hand and
it also provides tools they can use to share
these important lessons with the students
in our local community year after year.”
Dianna Layne Smith, a geography, psychology, economics and government
teacher, and Jill Knight, a social studies,
U.S. history, economics and government
teacher, were selected to attend the Bill of
Rights Institute’s “2016 Founders
Fellowship” program July 25-29 in
Washington, D.C. They are two of 12 teachers who were selected from GeorgiaPacific’s facility communities across
Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Oregon,
South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
Founders Fellowship provides teachers
with training and tools to educate students
about America’s founders, their ideals and
economic and civil liberties. Aimed at
civics, history, government and economics
teachers, one of the Founders Fellowship
program’s goals is to help students understand the Constitution and the freedoms
and opportunities it provides.
“Understanding and appreciating economics and entrepreneurship is a critical
part of our education system and GeorgiaPacific Foundation is committed to supporting programs that promote these principals,” said Curley Dossman, president of
the Georgia-Pacific Foundation. “The
Founders Fellowship program strives to
help educators simplify these complex concepts and bring them to life for students
when they return to their classrooms.”
The conference offers lectures by constitutional scholars and will explore the liberties of the First Amendment, and participants will also visit historical sites and tour
national monuments in the Washington
D.C. area.

Trinity-Byrnes senior named
National Merit Scholarship winner
Hartsville High School art students gather for a photo with internationally acclaimed artist Jonathan Green.
Internationally acclaimed artist
Jonathan Green visits Hartsville High students
South Carolina native and
internationally
acclaimed
painter
Jonathan
Green
brought wisdom and charisma
to Hartsville High School
(HHS) students recently, discussing his artwork and inspirations.
Green visited Hartsville to
give a lecture, “The Use of Fine
Art in Capturing the Positive
Aspects of American and
African American Southern
Culture,
History,
and
Traditions,” at the Butler
Community Center. Earlier in
the day, he stopped by HHS art
teacher Jennifer Pietrzak’s
classroom.
Green responded to stu-
dents’ questions about his use
of vibrant colors, Southern
scenes and African American
culture. He discussed how he
grew up in a Lowcountry farming family before developing
an interest in art and attending the Art Institute of
Chicago.
He explained to students
that a determined work ethic
enabled him to turn painting
into a career.
Asked about advice for
aspiring
artists,
Green
responded, “Work, work,
work. Keep the mind busy.
Find something you want to
do, work at it, and you will be
able to apply that in later life.”
Borrow an “Internet to Go” WiFi Hotspot from the Library
By Jimmie Epling
Director
Darlington County Library System
As a way to help expand
access to broadband Internet in
the county, the Darlington
County Library System is launching a pilot project called
“Internet to Go!” The Library
will lend WiFi hotspots at our
Darlington and Hartsville locations beginning June 1st. A WiFi
hotspot is a device you can use to
connect a wireless Internet
enabled device, such as a laptop,
smartphone, tablet, printer, digital camera, or gaming system to
the Internet. The hotspot is
portable, so you can connect
your device to the Internet
almost anywhere there is a cell
phone signal, like at home, on a
job site, in your church, in a car,
or in the park.
Libraries are known for loaning books, DVDs, audio recordings, and in the case of some
libraries around the country,
projectors, computers, cake
pans, fishing gear, tools, sports
equipment, night vision goggles,
and even ghost detection equipment. Some libraries are loaning
WiFi hotspots too! The Library
has decided to begin loaning four
“Internet to Go” WiFi hotspots for
two reasons.
One reason the Library is
experimenting with loaning WiFi
hotspots is to help bridge the
“digital divide.” There are many
residents of Darlington County
who cannot afford Internet
access at home. Ready access to
the Internet is no longer a luxury,
it has become a necessity.
Government agencies are closing
local and regional offices in favor
of providing their services
through a website, leaving those
they are to help looking for computer and Internet access to file
benefit claims, obtain forms,
update records, or just simply to
ask a question. Businesses are
increasingly requiring applicants
to submit job application forms
electronically, take online assessment tests, and even interview
via Skype. The Library has
offered Internet access through
our public computers and free inhouse WiFi for many years for
this reason. The “Internet to Go
Program” is another way the
Library is helping members of
the community bridge that gap!
The second reason for our
Internet to Go project is not every
place in Darlington County offers
Internet access. With a WiFi
hotspot, an individual, government agency, business, or other
organization can at any time or
place set up a small network of
computers and devices linked to
the Internet to do a variety of
things. An agency or organization can set up a temporary link
to the world to help members of
the community. Recently, the
County’s
Elections
and
Registration Office wanted to
issue photo IDs at the Hartsville
Branch. A secure Internet connection was required for this
service. By using one of our
hotspots, we were able to provide
a secure, password protected
Internet connection in less than
five minutes without touching
our own network.
How can you borrow a WiFi
hotspot? First thing you need to
McLeaon Marechal Insurance
honored at national conference
Erik Marechal, President,
Florence, SC and Billy Early III,
Associate Agent, Darlington, SC
of McLean Marechal Insurance
and Financial Services, Inc.,
were recently recognized at the
Nationwide® national Farm
sales conference held in
Scottsdale, Arizona, as one of
the company’s leading writers of
farm
insurance.
McLean
Marechal Insurance is an On
Your Side® Elite Farm Certified
Agent.
“We’re proud to acknowledge
agents who have made the commitment to specialize in farm
insurance. We’re the number
one writer of farms and ranches
in the country because of agencies like McLean Marechal
Insurance”, said Dirk Pollitt,
Nationwide Vice President of
Sales, Des Moines. “This is an
increasingly complex line of
business, requiring an ongoing
commitment to agriculture. Our
FAST Track Conference recognizes agents who are considered
best in class.”
The annual FAST Track
Awards
&
Recognition
Conference was held for top producing agents for sales of new
farm insurance policies during
the 2015 calendar year. While
more than 6200 agencies write
farm insurance for Nationwide,
only 83 qualified for the 2016
FAST Track Conference.
“They deserve to be congratulated for reaching this level of
recognition,” said Pollitt, “and
for their ongoing dedication to
protecting South Carolina farmers.”
Nationwide, a Fortune 100
company based in Columbus,
Ohio, is one of the largest and
strongest diversified insurance
and financial services organizations in the U.S. and is rated A+
by both A.M. Best and Standard
& Poor’s. The company provides

information, visit www.nationwide.com.
know is our WiFi hotspots are
available on a first-come/firstserved basis. An adult card holder in good standing with the
Library can borrow a WiFi
hotspot at no charge for three
days. Borrowing a hotspot
requires a card holder to sign a
statement acknowledging having read the rules for WiFi
hotspot use and provide a photo
ID. Once checked out, it can be
renewed three times unless the
Library requires it be returned
for its use.
The device is easy to use.
Switch it on, look for the
hotspot’s network name on your
device, enter the provided password, and you are connected to
the Internet. Select Library staff
can show you how to connect.
Instructions how to connect to
the Internet are provided on the
packaging.
There are some restrictions
on the use of the WiFi hotspot.
Access to a hotspot’s settings is
restricted. If the WiFi hotspot
does not work properly, it must
be returned to the Library for
service. The hotspot is set to
block access to adult content and
malware in an effort to comply
with the provisions of the Child
Internet Protection Act (CIPA).
The Library cannot guarantee all
content that may be deemed
offensive or harmful will be
blocked. Parents/Guardians are
advised they are solely responsible for monitoring what their
children access on the Internet.
Our WiFi hotspots have no
anti-virus or anti-spyware software. The Library cannot guarantee the WiFi hotspot network
connection is absolutely secure.
The Library is not responsible for
any damage to your devices that
may result from using a hotspot.
The Library respects your privacy by only maintaining circulation records of which customers
have a hotspot currently checked
out, deleting it from our records
once it is returned. Our service
provider will never know who
has checked out any of our
hotspots. We do not have access
to Internet website sites visited
by those using the hotspot. The
only data collected is the total
amount of data transmitted and
received by each device during a
billing cycle.
Are you wondering what will
happen if you keep a WiFi
hotspot overdue? First, an overdue hotspot will have its Internet
access deactivated within 24
hours after it is due, rendering it
useless. Secondly, a $1 per day
fine will be levied. Third, a $180
replacement fee will be immediately charged to your Library
account. If the hotspot is
returned in good condition, with
all its parts and packaging intact,
the replacement fee will be
waived.
Library System is always looking
for ways to better serve the community. The goal of the “Internet
to Go” project is to provide free
Internet access to individuals,
agencies, and organizations so
that they may improve their lives
and the lives of others. If you
need the “Internet to Go,” drop
by either the Darlington or
Hartsville Branches and check
out a hotspot!

GSSM Senior Named Semifinalist in U.S. Presidential Scholars Program
The
South
Carolina
Governor’s School for Science &
Mathematics (GSSM) is pleased
to announce that graduating
senior, Hamza Ahmed, has been
named a semifinalist in the U.S.
Presidential
Scholarship
Program.
Ahmed, son of Javed and
Faria Ahmed of Greenville,
South Carolina, transferred to
GSSM from Southside High
School.
Ahmed is involved with the
GSSM Math Team, actively participates in student council, was
the co-president of Youth in
Government, serves as a GSSM
Natural Helper and is the secretary of GSSM’s chapter of
National Honors Society. Ahmed
also plays on the varsity soccer
and basketball teams and was
recently named MVP of the
2015-16 basketball season.
During the summer of 2015,
through GSSM’s Research
Experience Scholars Program,
Ahmed completed extensive
research on econophysics at the
Korea Advanced Institute for
Science and Technology in
South Korea. He recently won
first place for both his written
and oral presentations at the
South Carolina Junior Academy
of Science meeting for this
research in the consumer science category.
Next year, Ahmed will attend
Washington University in St.
Louis to study biochemistry.
“A couple months ago I
would have never thought that I
would be named a Presidential
Scholar Semifinalist,” said
Ahmed. “Sitting here today, I
have assured myself that I will
not fall to pieces if I do not make
it to the next round, but I remain
very hopeful, knowing that
sometimes life does not take the
expected course.”
Application to the U.S.
Presidential Scholars program is

scores on the SAT or ACT exam
or their nomination by a chief
state school officer the year of
their graduation from high

The last few years my child
hood friend, Jana, has been
writing articles on my son
who is now 7 and a half
about having Apraxia of
Speech and she is being his
voice by spreading the word.
This year, she asked me to
share our story from my perspective as a mom, living in
Estero, Florida.
Apraxia of Childhood
Speech is a neurological disorder that affects children’s
ability to speak. According to
the American Speech
Language Hearing
Association:
“Children with apraxia
have problems saying sounds,
syllables, and words. This is
not because of muscle weakness or paralysis. The brain
has problems planning to
move the body parts (e.g.,
lips, jaw, tongue) needed for
speech. The child knows what
he or she wants to say, but
his/her brain has difficulty
coordinating the muscle
movements necessary to say
those words.”
Cayl, who is just about to
finish the 2nd grade, was
unable to speak until almost
the age of four. He was five
before he was able to say
more than two or three
words together. Now at age 7
and half, he is excelling at
school but not without a lot
of hard work on his part. His
first quarter this year was a
near disaster and he was
quickly falling behind. Most
children with apraxia have
more than the inability to
produce the sounds; they also
have trouble putting their
thoughts together in their
mind, and trouble writing
down or speaking those
thoughts. They have the correct answer, but the processing of the information along
with trying to get the right
sounds out, or movement of
their tongue, comes out
sometimes like a jumbled
mess.
This year we have had to
Darlington native Erin O’Flaherty
seeks Miss America title
The S.C. Sweet Potato
Festival and Darlington High
School will send representatives to Columbia S.C. to compete for the prestigious titles
of Miss South Carolina and
Miss South Carolina Teen
later this month, but further
West a Darlington native will
continue to chase her dream
to winning the Miss America
crown.
Miss City of Fountains Erin
O’Flaherty will compete in the
“Show-Me-State” for the Miss
Missouri crown from June 1518.
O’Flaherty grew up in
Darlington, and was a mem-
ber of the Young Singers of
Darlington directed by Ann
Miles. She graduated from
Wilson High School in the IB
program; she later graduated
from the University of Central
Florida, where she held the
title of Miss University of
Central Florida and competed
in the Miss Florida pageant 3
times, placing in the semifinals as Miss University of
Central Florida.
O’Flaherty has promoted
her
platform
“Suicide
Prevention” during her year of
service and looks most forward to competing in Missouri
since she has strong connec-
tions to the state. Her father
has worked there her entire
life and she wanted to establish her roots in the state after
graduation. She works for
Captiva Marketing as an
Online Marketing Specialist
and is a partner in the
women’s clothing boutique
Rachel’s Grove in St. Louis.
O’Flaherty is a vocalist.
The pageant will be live
streamed and O’Flaherty
encourages all of her friends
and family to watch and you
can go to her Facebook page at
Miss City of Fountains 2016Erin O’Flaherty for updates on
watching.
Erin O’Flaherty, Miss City
of Fountains
have two IEP meetings at the
school to figure what works
best for him in order for him
to be successful. The first IEP
didn’t go as well as I had
hoped, but I kept at it getting
more information to bring to
the table and coming up with
ways to help him in the classroom that wouldn’t cause the
teacher a lot of extra work
but would certainly help him.
The second go around was
very successful. The little
things implemented had a
huge impact on him and his
grades.
Taking the therapy to the
next level is another key for
parents of children with
apraxia. Parents and teachers
get to the point where they
think, “Ok, they can talk
now,” but the journey doesn’t
end there. There are more
hurdles that these kids will
have to get over to be successful. We found that because
he can not produce all sounds
still that decoding of words or
phonics is sometimes tricky
for him. We have been
blessed with our school
speech pathologist and private speech pathologists, and
our OT. They have all gone
above and beyond to work
with Cayl and helping him
find his voice.
I have made spreading the
word part of my daily life. I
became part of the schools
district ESE Parent Advisory
Committee, I quickly made
good contacts with people in
the district to help me spread
the word and this year I
organized the first Apraxia
walk in my hometown in
Florida. Along the way, we
have made great new friends
in the Apraxia community
and we share our journey
together. Cayl’s school has
been nothing but supportive
throughout our time at
Pinewoods Elementary. We
have hit some bumps in the
road but in the end we have
all met in the middle to do
what is best for Cayl and
without their support and
starting him at their school at
age three, I don’t believe he
would be the successful student he is today.
I encourage parents and
people around children that if
you see the child is struggling
with their speech, don’t just
assume that he or she has a
delay. Seek an SLP to evaluate the child as soon as possible. The earlier the detection
the better the chance for the
child to overcome this disorder and provide that child
with the tools to be able to
communicate.
Our journey is not even
half way over and as he progresses we will hit more
bumps in the road and fight
for what works best with him;
but in the end it will be worth
everything we put into it.
The work Cayl has put into
finding his voice has been
incredible and everyday he is
my little hero. There are days
that now he talks nonstop
and I find myself saying Cayl,
lets see if you can keep quiet
for 5 minutes and then I
laugh to myself thinking
three years ago I didn’t even
know if he would be able to
put 3 or 4 words together. He
proved me wrong with all
that hard work and therapy
and most of all he never gave
up.
