Pye Editor editor@newsandpress.net The Lord Cares ministry honored their volunteers at 26th Anniversary their Dinner on Thursday, May 14 in a program led by Rev. Kevin Cauley, Pastor of Darlington Presbyterian Church, President of the Board for The Lord Cares at the church’s fellowship hall. “To thank you and show our appreciation for all you do to help us serve our community better, we could not do this ministry without you,” said Pastor Cauley. “It is a true joy to serve with The Lord Cares. I’ve served with several organizations that feed those who have needs, and one thing that I cherish about The Lord Cares is we care about feeding people not only physically, but also spiritually. We take very seriously when Jesus asked Peter, “Do you love me?” and he responded, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you. “Then feed my sheep. Feed my sheep. Feed my sheep.” And I believe that’s both physically and spiritually what we are called to do. And I am just very thankful that this ministry is here. If you are not the hands and feet of our Lord Jesus Christ, we couldn’t tend to the sheep and feed the sheep. So thank you all very much.” In attendance were representatives of groups thanked for their generous support of the ministry through the years: Byard Stone, representing Darlingon Rotary Club; Mike Beckam, representing Darlington Lion’s Club; and the Darlington Kiwanis Club were thanked for their generous contributions throughout the year. Ed O’Neal and Alex Allen, representing the Darlington Chapter of United Letter Carriers, who just collected their largest amount of donated food during their Stamp Out Hunger annual food drive. In 2014, they collected 9,000 lbs of food; this spring, they collected 11, 409 lbs of food, their largest donation ever. “I know this past weekend as they were bringing it in, that adds a lot to those carrier’s day to collect that food.” said Cauley. “And we appreciate the joy and the passion with which they support and love by which they do it.” Boy Scout Zack Cunningham was recognized for his service project of putting the information from index cards into the computer for volunteers to pull up information easily. TLC ON 3A Galloway announces intent for Darlington’s mayor race By Jana E. Pye Editor editor@newsandpress.net Travis Galloway stopped by the News & Press office to announce his intentions to run for office of Mayor for the City of Darlington race this November, and credits the legacy of his grandfather, Dr. Ned Hobbs, as his inspiration. “He instilled in me the importance of giving back to the community,” said Galloway. “And I want to see Darlington thrive.” Galloway and his wife, Elizabeth, have three daughters aged 6, 4, and 2. Elizabeth is a native of Georgia, and the couple met at USC. She has been teaching at All Saint’s, and just accepted a position to teach at Cain Elementary School this fall. The family returned to Darlington in 2011 after living in Germany and Taiwan. “We had a daughter born in each country, and our last baby was our “made in the USA’ daughter.” He has four degrees from University of South Carolina, including Psychology, Political Science, Juris Doctorate of Law and an International MBA. Galloway worked for eight years in Germany doing international contract negotiations, and procurement in business development- four and a half years with Siemens, and then NAVIGON, a German company later bought by Garmin. MAYOR ON 3A N O T E : E A R LY DEADLINE MEMORIAL D AY H O L I D AY N O O N M AY 2 1 PHOTO BY SAMANTHA LYLES Rep. Williams to support body camera Bill #47 By Samantha Lyles Staff Writer slyles@newsandpress.net Community leaders from the fields of law enforcement, government, and social work turned out Monday, May 18 to stand behind SC Rep. Robert Williams (D – House Dist. 62) on the grounds of the Darlington County Courthouse in support of Bill #47, which would require state and local law enforcement officers to wear body cameras. The details of the bill are currently being worked out between the SC House and Senate. “During the past several months, police departments all over the United States have been under intense scrutiny over the way law enforcement treats black men,” said Williams, citing the April 4 fatal shooting of Walter Scott by a North Charleston police officer as an example of how this problem is hitting close to home. “That horrible event has brought home to a lot of state leaders that video evidence is just too important to leave to chance,” Williams said. Chief Danny Watson of the Darlington Police Department said his agency has been using body cameras for six years, and endorsed the devices as a way to “protect the truth” in all interactions between officers and the public. Dr. Dolores Brown also addressed the issue of child support delinquency – the reason Scott ran from police – and advocated Fatherhood and Families (an agency Rep. Williams founded) as a way to help fathers who are in arrears on their child support payments. Brown said the agency is staging a “Top Ten Fathers” contest to highlight strong parenting examples, and nominations can be made by calling 843-413-2790 or thebestfathers@gmail.com. Welcome to Myrtle Manor’s “Roxy” Roxanne Buck, Darlington native, loves the life of a TV reality star By Will Isgett Contributing Writer Not many people know it, but a Darlington native is in the cast of a popular television reality show. Roxy, or known to locals as Roxanne Buck, appears on “Welcome to Myrtle Manor” a show on TLC that documents the lives and problems of the residents of “Myrtle Manor” also named Patrick’s Trailer Home Park, located in Myrtle Beach. ROXY ON 7A Hartsville looks into municipal broad-band by Samantha Lyles Staff Writer slyles@newsandpress.net DCFD fire marshal Ricky Flowers says the foundation footing for a Carolina Table Co. expansion is close enough to the Pit Stop restaurant to require a firewall PHOTO BY SAMANTHA LYLES Lamar business expansion hits building approval snag by Samantha Lyles Staff Writer slyles@newsandpress.net A delay in the planned expansion of Carolina Table Co., a furniture manufacturing concern located in downtown Lamar, provided a main topic of discussion at the May 11 regular meeting of Lamar Town Council. In March, council heard from Carolina Table president Mike Epps who sought a construction variance for a new metal building he planned to erect adjacent to his current Main Street facility. Epps asked council to except the requirement for him to build in a firewall to protect both his new building and a neighboring business, The Pit Stop short order grill. Council conditionally granted the exception pending approval from the building inspector and fire marshal. At the May 11 meeting, Darlington County Fire District assistant chief and fire marshal Ricky Flowers confirmed for council that the foundation footing dug for the Carolina Table expansion would apparently put the facility inside the 20-foot safe distance required for the firewall exemption, so his office had to rescind approval for the building plans. “The problem is how close in proximity they're building to the Pit Stop,” said Flowers, noting that he had reached out to the building's architect to discuss the divergence between submitted plans and actual construction. “Until we can match those plans to the work that's being done, we can't consent to anything like that,” said Flowers. Council member Mike Lloyd observed that the current distance between the Pit Stop and the Carolina Table foundation footing is a little too close for comfort without a firewall. “You could probably pull a car between the two buildings, but I doubt you could open the doors,” said Lloyd. Mayor Randy Reynolds encouraged Flowers to work with building inspector Henry Chapman to monitor the issue and seek a resolution that would protect both Carolina Table and the Pit Stop in the event of a fire. “We've got to work with them. We can't incur that kind of liability,” said Reynolds. Lloyd reported that a recent water system inspection by DHEC revealed no issues, except the longstanding need to repaint the town's water holding tanks. Council member Jackie Thomas reported no problems with the Lamar Police Department, though Lloyd queried him about the possibility of the LPD utilizing current grant opportunities for free body cameras. Thomas said that at least one Lamar officer already patrols with such a device, but he and Chief Charles Woodle would look into getting more cameras for the department. Hartsville City Council voted at their May 12 regular meeting to study the feasibility of installing and running a proprietary municipal fiber optic cable network. In passing Resolution 05-1501, council agreed to pay $28,000 to Uptown Services, LLC to study the costs and opportunities involved if the city should attempt to provide high-speed “fiber-to-premises” services to city residents. HARTSVILLE ON 3A Society Hill informed of new mandate By Jana E. Pye Editor editor@newsandpress.net The Society Hill Town Council was informed by Police Chief Matt Hill at the May 12th meeting that a new FCC mandate requires them to update all police car radios by 2016, at a cost of $5,500 each. Hill also told council that a DEA old medicine drop off collection will be held on June 20th at the Town Hall building. At the start of the meeting, Mayor Tommy Bradshaw requested a moment of silence for the family of Ann Bryant, who passed away suddenly, and the Kinley and Cook families.

WWW.NEWSANDPRESSONLINE.COM op-ed Thank You to the Postal Patrons of Darlington and Lamar, Rural Letter Carriers of Darlington and Lamar The Strength of a Memory By Bill Shepard Never underestimate the strength of a memory. It often does what nothing else can! There are many stories that lend credence to that statement. It has been said that a boy or girl will leave their home in the country, move to the city, work all their young years to earn and save enough money to buy their old home place in the country. Memories call them back to the place of their beginning. Some might call it the “homing instinct.” Memories of home have played a part in the lives of many runaways who found themselves far from home. I have read and heard stories told by some who decided to see what lay on the other side of the mountain. All the persuasion, counseling, even praying could not prevent their leaving, but a memory of a good home overtook them and they were homeward bound! There is a beautiful story in the Bible that Jesus told about a young boy who had wanderlust in his shoes. What young boy hasn’t experienced that feeling at sometime in their young years? We are not told a lot of details about that story, but we are told enough to know its ending, and some happenings along the way. Friendless, broke, and hungry, the boy too a job feeding the hogs! We are told that he was so hungry that he was about to eat the food that was meant for the swine! At that moment, a memory appeared. Memories have a way of showing up uninvited, and unexpected but often just in time. He remembered the good home and loving family he had let behind. The strength of that memory turned his feet in an homeward direction! The story has a happy ending; back home he found the door open and a beautiful homecoming was in the making. If there is a lesson to be learned, here it is for the parents. While your children are growing up, instill in them good memories of home. You never know what the future may hold; there can be a lot of winding roads ahead! Provide your children with good memories and keep your door open! Note: Memories of a loving family, made when I was a child, have followed me through my long journey. I may have never reached the pig-pen, but I was close enough to smell the stench! Mr. Shepard is a native of Darlington, S.C., and a current resident of Piedmont, S.C. and 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. The letter carriers and The Lord Cares volunteers of Darlington would like to say thanks for your generous support of the May 9th Letter Carriers Food Drive. This is a national project of the NALC (National Association of Letter Carriers) of which we are a small part. All of the donations (11,409 pounds) go to The Lord Cares to assist people of our area. With grateful hearts of thanks, Ed O’Neal Food Drive Coordinator, Branch 1666 NALC Dwight Giles President, Branch 1666 NALC Kevin Cauley President, The Lord Cares S.C. Legislature Approves a Jet for Clemson University?!? In their May 4, 2015 edition, Sports Illustrated reported that the South Carolina legislature approved the purchase of a jet for Clemson University for recruitment letterS to the editor purposes. I have two questions: What was the legislature thinking and where is the outrage from the citizenry of South Carolina? Are we so enamored of sports that we are blinded by just how ridiculous this purchase is? If this is a tool that the university feels is needed, then let the boosters and alumni pay for it, do not saddle the taxpayers with this responsibility. Consider the purchase price, pilot's salary, fuel, insurance and maintenance for lets say a three year period; how many roads can you repave, bridges repaired or replaced, school buses purchased? How many more dollars per child's education can you allocate? The list can go on and on. The state of our roads and bridges are in serious need of repair and replacement and there exists serious discussions at the statehouse on just what to do and how to pay for it, yet we found a way to pay for what amounts to a play toy for the university. This is another example in a long line of examples that the legislature has lost touch with the vast majority of their constituents and continue to play fast and loose with the taxpayers funds without any meaningful thought or consequences. The legislature needs to pull theirs heads out of theirs rumps and legislate for all of the people and not just an elite few and the people of South Carolina needs to start op-ed I have written this column before. In fact, I’ve written this same basic column about this time every year for the past several years. And I’ll write it again next year, and every year for as long as I do this column because it’s so important. It’s about how well the children of South Carolina are doing. The answer in a word is – worse. First, the back story: Since 1948, the Annie E. Casey Foundation has been devoted to developing a brighter future for millions of children at risk of poor educational, economic, social and health outcomes. One of its most important projects is Kids Count, an annual status report on how kids are doing across the country and in each individual state. Regardless of where one might be on the political spectrum of left or right, Democratic or Republican, Baptist or Buddhist or whatever, Kids Count is generally accepted as the definitive gold standard of measuring the well-being of kids in America and the individual states. Kids Count collects mountains of data that measure the status of kids and crunches it all down into six key areas – demographics, economic well-being, education, family and community, health, safety and risky behaviors. Its website, www.datacenter.kidscount.org, is nothing short of amazing in providing easy access to all this data and it gives users the ability to slice and dice the data in literally thousands of ways. At the risk of burying you in statistics, here are a few of the most significant or interesting findings from the most recent data about kids in South Carolina: • Overall ranking – Last year, South Carolina ranked 45th of the 50 states in the well-being of our children, the same place as in 2013, but down two places from 2012 when we ranked 43rd. • Demographics – Sixtyfive percent of the kids in the state are white, 28 percent black, 5 percent Hispanic and 2 percent other. These percentages have been essentially unchanged for the last three years. • Immigration – Despite the significant increase in immigration, 98 percent of all S.C. kids were born in state. • Family income – The median family income of fam- ilies with children is $50,967, virtually unchanged or down just a bit over the last seven years. • Unemployment – Nine percent of kids live in a household where no adult is in the workforce. • Poverty – Twenty-seven percent of our children live in poverty, which is up from 24 percent in 2009. • Severe poverty – Among the most troubling statistics is the measure of the percentage of children who live in what the study classifies as concentrated poverty. In 2000, this number was 6 percent, but it has since more than doubled to 15 percent. • Education – In the broad category of education, our kids rank 43rd, having slipped two places since 2012. • Early education – The portion of our 3- and 4-yearold children who are not enrolled in any type of early education rose from 54 percent in 2007 to 59 percent in 2013. • Graduation rates – We are actually doing significantly better here. In 2007, 38 percent of our students did not graduate from high school on time, which was down to 28 percent in 2012. This is real progress. Darryl K. Stapleton Darlington, SC Re: “Tatoos derail Marine” In response to the news story “Tattoos derail Marine” on May 6, 2015. On October 31, 1982 I departed Darlington, South Carolina on a journey that would last for six years. I arrived at Parris Island on November 1, 1982 at 0200, 2:00 a.m. for civilians and for the next thirteen weeks I was transformed from an as the Drill Instructors called us, “undisciplined civilian pig” into highly discipline United States Marines. This transformation from civilian to Marine was completed on January 19, 1983 when my Senior Drill Instructor dismissed the platoon and welcome us to the Brotherhood of Marines. I would like to try to explain the dilemma that Sergeant Daniel Knapp is in from perspective of the Marine Corps culture. It may not be widely known but the United States Marine Corps has a standard of performance that is more rigid than other branches of services. Behavior that may be acceptable in other branches may not in the Marine Corps, this is not to say that other branches are not complying with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, just that Marines are gung ho in their adherence to order and discipline. It may be quite confusing to the civilian when they see cases such as the case of Sergeant Daniel Knapp. Sergeant Knapp may be a hard-charging, gung ho and outstanding Marine, his choice in not following the Marine Corps policy concerning tattoos calls into question his judgment. A Sergeant is a Non-Commissioned Officer and leader of junior Marines, if he does not obey the policy how will he lead those Marines as a good example? It is unfortunate that the Marine Corps may lose such a good individual, but that is how it is, it’s hard but it’s fair. An old Marine made this statement and I find it to be very true, “Civilians cannot and will not understand us because they are not one of us. The Corps – we love it, we live it, we die for it. If have in it, you shall never understand it” To the civilian it may seem hard to not allow Sergeant Knapp to reenlist, to a Marine it is business as usual. Semper Fi Sergeant Knapp, Ooh Rah.

New democrats. paying attention and holding them accountable. • Health – The overall state of our kids’ health dropped from 40th in 2012 to 43rd in 2014. • Death rate – The overall death rate for children and teens has dropped significantly from a rate of 41 per 100,000 children in 2007 to 31 per 100,000 children in 2011. • Family and community – In this broad category, we have improved a bit from 43rd in 2012 to 41st in 2014. • Single-family household – The number of children living in a single-family household in 2009 was 40 percent. In 2013, it had risen a bit to 42 percent. • Teen birth rate – We have made significant progress here, in that the rate was 53 per 1,000 in 2008 and this dropped to 37 per 1,000 in 2012. So what does all this mean? In short, life is getting worse for kids in South Carolina. Yes, there have been some improvements in some areas, but overall it’s worse, not better; and it’s generally getting worse across the whole range of measurements. What does this say about us in South Carolina? Try explaining to a kid in our state why this is happening. www.NewsandPress.net STAFF General Manager: Morrey Thomas mthomas@newsandpress.net Editor: Jana E.

Hartsville Continued from 1A Mayor Mel Pennington spoke about the potential benefit such a network could provide, calling it an “economic development engine” that could enhance existing businesses and entice high-tech industries to Hartsville, creating new jobs. Pennington first floated this idea shortly after his election as mayor nearly six years ago, but council voted not to pursue the plan, even after a two-year struggle with the state legislature secured Hartsville's right to offer privately maintained broadband Mayor Continued from 1A The company then moved him moved to Taiwan for two years as general manager for the Asian entity. “In addition to being vice president for procurement, I was also the general manager for the Asian entity of NAVIGON. Upon moving back, he opened a real estate company here in Darlington where he buys distressed houses in renovates neighborhoods, them to like new and rents them out. “After being away for ten TLC Continued from 1A CVS, Darlington Store: CVS was unable to send a representative but were thanked for their generous contributions of items for The Lord Cares, including bags of candy which are greatly appreciated by the little children while they wait for their family to complete an intake evaluation Family Dollar, two locations in Darlington (next to Food Lion, and next to BiLo): Family Dollar was unable to send a contribution, but were lauded for their outstanding acts of generousity to The Lord Cares. Volunteer Mike Beckham said, “We are fortunate that we have businesses in this community that step up to the plate when called upon, and help out The Lord Cares. Manager Rebecca Shortwell (BiLo location) and Myra Anderson (Food Lion location) have both been outstanding in their gifts to TLC.” Darlington Raceway: also unable to attend the dinner, were thanked for their huge gifts by their donations from their charity Darlington Shares, food drives from Jeff Gordon and his AARP Drive for Hunger and $5,000 donation from AARP, and food drive collections from the Speed and Feed BBQ and Blood Drives. Retirees were honored with special plaques. Suzanne Muldrow: volunteer since 2001; Nyla Hood, volunteer since 2000; Sarah McCrae, volunteer since 1997; Rose Webster, volunteer for “so many years”; Lou Ellen Hart, volunteer since 1990, was not present, but her plaque will be presented to her; and Libba King, volunteer since 1989. “It is you the volunteers that help us do what we do without you we couldn’t have the impact on the community we do,” said Pastor Cauley. “It is a lot easier to serve on a board when you have paid staff that is taking care of things. This is 100 % volunteer, and that is really remarkable. We are totally supported by the community whether you as volunteers, the churches, the businesses it’s a great privilege to say thank you to the way you serve our Lord Jesus Christ and make His love known.” The Lord Cares was formed to have a central location for residents of Darlington, Lamar and Society Hill to receive help with food, assistance with utility bills, and other needs at a central location rather than going to church to church. The ministry is 100% volunteer, with no paid staff, and operates entirely upon donations community members and businesses. It does not receive any state or federal funding, and does services. Pennington said that recent rulings by the Federal Communications Commission have eased restrictions on local government-run “fiberto-premises” enterprises, and he cited the success of such services in North Carolina towns analogous to Hartsville. Projected costs for this project stood around $15 million five years back, but that initial study included an expanded area of service that included Lamar. The new study would only include as potential customers those residents and businesses within the Hartsville city limits. Council member Teresa Mack voted against this measure. Council passed final reading on two ordinances, 4194 years, we knew we wanted to come back to Darlington,” said Galloway. “We came back for a couple of weeks every year, and saw that Darlington was not progressing. I feel like I can bring a lot of business development, and also cost saving activities that can really help us help us turn our economic woes around.” Galloway credits his 15 years experience in business development and managing large budgets as assets in his bid for mayor. “I was managing budgets of in excess of $100 million, and as general manager in Taiwan I was responsible for the entire company there as WEDNESDAY MARCH 20, 2015 | PAGE 3A and 4195, approving the issuance and sale of waterworks and sewer system improvement bonds not exceeding $12 million in total. Final reading was held for Ordinance 4197, and council approved a zoning change to allow a self-service storage facility to locate on Poole Street. Such facilities can now operate within city limits, so long as they are not located along major thoroughfares and meet city-mandated requirements. Council also cleared first readings for Hartsville's 2015/16 fiscal year budgets, with a general fund budget of about $9.2 million, water and sewer budget of $4 million, infrastructure fund budget of well as the budget. I think I bring a lot of real world experience to – what the end of the day, a city is a business. And it needs to be run a little bit more like a business. So, this is my focus- economic improvement, job creation, as well as improving our infrastructure, problems with storm drainage, quality of our roads, etc. I think a lot of people know those problems exist, and raise enough complaints about it, but you can’;t do it without money. To increase our revenues, we have to do more with what we have. That is expertise I can bring to the table.” Filing date for candidates $604,300, solid waste fund budget of $1.2 million, and a hospitality fee fund budget of $903,600. Other budgets include an accommodations tax fund of $155,050, a debt service fund of $136,665, a storm water fund of $185,000, a recreation concessions fund of $84,000, and a splash pad fund of $122,600. Also on the agenda, council approved an expenditure of $28,000 for a new Blue Star generator to be used at the Hartsville Fire Department. Mayor Pennington also signed two proclamations acknowledging May as Teen Pregnancy Prevention month, and Better Hearing Month. Society Hill Continued from 1A The financial update apprised council members that three past due monthly state assessments were paid, closing the gap on the council’s commitment to pay all assessments in arrearages from the previous administration. The children’s playground and picnic shelter bathrooms have been repaired in the park next to Town Hall. Water fountains and galvanized pipes with updated spigots have also been installed. Mayor Bradshaw presented a balanced budget, per his responsibility by Municipal Association of South Carolina (MASC) guidelines. Council requested a workshop for the budget scheduled for May 19th at 5:30 p.m. at Town Hall, with first reading of the budget delayed until June 9th meeting. Leases for the two townowned rental buildings have been prepared. The building on the corner of Main and St. David’s has been leased. Tenants have repaired the interior of the building, and council approved one rent-free month due to the expenses incurred to updates and repairs. There were no updates on the Depot project. The next Society Hill Town Council budget workshop wlll be held May 19th at 5:30 p.m. at Town Hall. The regularly scheduled monthly meeting will be held Tuesday, June 9th at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall.

In his day he was an entrepreneur with a Trumplike self-image, and presided over his territorial and commercial empire like a cagey Wall Street tycoon. His tactics, however, more resembled those of Tony Soprano than Jack Welch, for Sisyphus was a treacherous man. If you read the mythologies about Sisyphus you find him so irritating to the gods that they banished him to hell twice (three times, actually, according to some accounts). But he was such a wily character he could even negotiate an escape from the underworld. Nevertheless, his trickery finally caught up with him as such things seem to do. For his many crimes against humanity and the heavens he was condemned to an eternity of frustratingly hard labor. His endless assignment was to roll a huge boulder to the top of a hill, taking all of his strength to do so. Then, every time Sisyphus arrived with his rock at the top of the hill, it would roll back down to the bottom. Sisyphus would be forced to begin the process all over again. According to the Greeks, he is still struggling with that stone today. In issues of faith many of us lead a Sisyphean existence. We are always pushing that rock up the hill only to see it slip away just as we “arrive” at a resting place. Proof of our effort is betrayed by words like: “I have got to do better…I must try harder…I need to give more…I should pray longer…I’m not good enough…I ought to read the Bible more often.” Faith becomes a terribly heavy burden that we are pushing up the hill. Like Sisyphus, with his shoulder eternally shoved against the stone, or like the perpetual hamster on a never ending exercise wheel, we turn liberating grace into a repressive pseudo-holiness that is nothing short of a deathtrap. This concept is completely foreign to the spirituality of Jesus. Matthew 11 frames the contrast best. I love Eugene Peterson’s translation of Jesus’ anti-Sisyphean maxim found there: “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.” We think that our spiritual journey and growth depends upon all that we can do. Many of us live - or exist rather, as we haven’t learned to really live - with the old Protestant work ethic hanging around our necks like a yoke. Boiled down to a bumper sticker mantra we think: “If it’s going to be, then it’s up to me.” That’s nothing short of sacrilege, even if it sounds resolute and brave. We who are proponents of the Christian faith must recapture a healthy spirituality that isn’t so much about labor as it is about resting. It should not be so much about all the work we can do for God, or church, or anyone else. It should be about recovering what it means to be truly alive. Being a follower of Christ is not about being an adherent to one of the world’s great religions. God save us from enduring any more of that. No, being a follower of Christ is the discipline of being still, and learning to trust the way that leads to life. There will always be another stone to push up a hill, another mile to run, another burden to bear. But faith should not be one of these. Faith, particularly faith in the person of Christ, is not a ball-and-chain, holding us down in a slave’s hell. It is the very means to live a light and free life.

WEDNESDAY MAY 20, 2015 | PAGE 5A Church of the Week: Black Creek Baptist Church By Bill Segars Guest Writer Many of you may have attended a graveside funeral service for a loved one at the Black Creek Cemetery located at 299 Creek Crossing Rd. in the Dovesville area of Darlington County, near Nucor Steel. Depending on the time of year the service was held, you may have noticed three brick objects in the woods, or you may not have even seen them. If you saw them, you may have wondered what they are, or maybe you didn’t give them a second thought. Regardless, these three brick columns have a story to tell, if you’ll take the time to listen. If you haven’t seen them, the fall of the year when the leaves are off the trees is the best times to listen to the story they tell. Their story begins before they were built, even before the United States was built. Baptists were gathering here to listen to Mr. Pugh preach on Wednesday nights as early as June of 1769. Christopher Teal donated an acre of land on September 5, 1789 for the purpose of building a 20-foot square hand hewn log building as a place to worship. Teal’s meeting house assumed its independence as Black Creek Baptist church on August 11, 1798, with 18 members. The original 1789 building was either extensively remodeled, or a completely new building was built in 1806 as the congregation began to grow. Several pastors came and left until Rev. J. O. B. Dargan came in 1838 to lead the flock for 43 years, retiring due to illness in October of 1881. A new building was built on the original lot in 1839, making the third building to serve the congregation in 50 years. If these buildings do not appear to have lasted very long, one must consider that they were built very crudely, possible even without window glass or heat. The only difference in these buildings and meeting under a “bushy arbor” was that these buildings did keep the rain off (or most of it) the members on a rainy Sunday. The crudeness did not discourage the membership; if anything, it spurred them on to build a better place to worship in. Farming in the area begin to prosper, and the railroad came to town in 1852; the citizens in this area of the Darlington District begin discussing a Female Seminary, an unheard of subject for people of the midlands of South Carolina to be talking about. On September 27, 1854 a campaign was begun, with the support of the Welsh Neck Association, to raise money for a Female Seminary to be built in Springville. After several years of work on this project and raising $7,500, the project seemed to be doomed not to be successful. Then in 1861, the War Between the States drove in the final nail in the coffin; the Seminary was never built, but not forgotten. Do those names, “Welch Neck”, “Female Seminary” sound familiar? After the War, in 1894 these far-sighted citizens swung their support behind the founding of the Welch Neck High School, soon to be Coker College, still in operation today in Hartville. At the same time the Seminary was being discussed, Rev. Dargan pushed for a new, more fitting, house of worship for the Black Creek congregation. On November 1, 1856 a building committee was appointed and 30 days later the adjacent lot to the church had been acquired and $2,472 had been raised. They were on their way to a new building. A fine two-story wood siding Greek Revival building was built with a balcony. It sat upon a proper raised brick foundation with brick columns, possible the first time that brick had been used in a Black Creek Church building. The new building was dedicated on Sunday January 8, 1860. Then, along came the conflict in the South. Black Creek Baptist was extremely fortunate to skirt damage as Union forces camped in the area. Church records have this to say about the event, “No church meeting today in consequence of the presence of Yankee raiders in this vicinity.” The 1939 building was used as Black Creek Academy, until a fire destroyed it in December of 1876. The first organ to ever be installed in a Black Creek Church was introduced in early 1879. In October of 1889, the congregation elected to abandon their old cemetery located on the West side of the present Hwy 52, and laid out the present burial grounds that continue to be used to this date. Between 1888 and 1889, Black Creek found themselves without a pastor for about a year. This was something that this congregation was not accustomed to. They didn’t know what to do; they were offering a salary of $600 a year and a house to live in. Seems fair, doesn’t it? No one came forward to accept the good deal, until they added fringe benefits of a horse and buggy and an annual paid vacation. Only then did they get a pastor, Rev. C. L. Dowell from Williamston, N.C. Black Creek Baptist prospered very nicely, as many other churches did, in the early 1900’s. They baptized many converts and even started Dovesville Baptist Church, RIVERSIDE HOMES, INC NEW 4 BEDROOM! scarcely a mile from the Mother church. All was going well until Easter Sunday, April 16, 1922. As people begin to gather for Easter services they found smoke and flames coming from their beloved church building due to an accidental fire. Due to quick thinking and risk of life, the piano, a large Bible, some pulpit furniture and the communion service was saved, but all else was lost. On February 21, 1924 the two congregations were incorporated into one church at the Dovesville location and both congregations adopted the name of Black Creek Baptist Church. When the smoke cleared that Easter morning, the only remains of their building was the brick foundation and the four massive plaster covered brick columns that once supported the community, the church and the building. So why are there only three columns standing now? Church records contain the following quote, “to be sealed in a niche in the Western corner of the new church: a correct list of membership, with conditions, and other matters of interest.” Many have thought this “time capsule” to be in one of the columns. Today, all of the columns show evidence of vandalism; one was vandalized to the extent that it fell. Was anything found? Only the vandals know.

WEDNESDAY MAY 20, 2015 | PAGE 7A Roxy Continued from 1A After entering the trailer park as a consultant this past season, Roxy has now been named co-manager of the park and in the recent finale she helps to remove the swimming pool, which is a staple for the show. “Pulling the pool down was awesome,” Roxy said. “I just wish I could have seen Becky’s face when I did it.” The person she is referring to is Becky Robertson, who has managed the park for her father Cecil Patrick since the show premiered in 2013. Patrick’s father actually built Myrtle Manor. The park has been within Robertson’s family for many years, and now that Roxy has entered the picture, things have gotten rocky between the two. According to Roxy, the battle between she and Becky goes back many years and began as they rode the bus together back in the day to Kim Mason, principal of Rosenwald Elementary/Middle School and DCSD's 2015 Outstanding First Year Teacher, Nicola Wynn, a science teacher at the school. Wynn Named DCSD Outstanding First Year Teacher Nicola Wynn, a middle school science teacher at Rosenwald Elementary/Middle School was named Darlington County School District’s “2015 First Year Outstanding Teacher” during Monday night’s Board of Education meeting. The Outstanding First Year Teacher Award recognizes teachers who show exceptional promise in their first year of teaching. Eleven teachers were nominated for the award. The judges narrowed the field down to three finalists, which they then met in panel interviews. In addition to Wynn, the other two finalists were Julie Weigand, a world history & US history teacher from Darlington High School and Kelly Long, a biology, anatomy & physiology teacher from Mayo High School for Math, Science & Technology. “It is exciting to see such high-caliber first year teaching professionals joining our district,” said Dr. Eddie Ingram, Darlington County Superintendent of Education. “I commend Ms. Wynn on her well-deserved award and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for her and her students.” “Any observation of Ms. Wynn’s class left me with the sense that she was born to teach and she knew it. Upon entering the classroom, anyone who didn't know that she was first year, would be certain Ms. Wynn had been teaching for years,” said Kim Mason, principal of Rosenwald Elementary/Middle School. “Ms. Wynn has ignited a new excitement for science not seen in a few years at our school. The students talk about her labs for motions and force with tiny Nascar cars, and the assembly and launch of the Rube Goldberg apparatus. Additionally, she has already applied for and received two Donors Choose Grants and been accepted to the prestigious Dover Science Plus Institute for this summer. She has brought science to life for the students at Rosenwald. She has embedded herself in their lives and strives each day to offer stellar instruction and be a positive role model. She is definitely among the best.” In her application, Wynn explained her philosophy of education: “I believe that teachers should challenge students to see their own potential, and ultimately, serve as the student’s biggest cheerleader. If I accomplish nothing else in education, I want every student that passes through my classroom to leave knowing that someone thinks they have what it takes to achieve their dreams. I want every student to know that someone believes they are smart. This confidence and motivation is what changes trajectories, and I am so proud to increase confidence and selfworth in my students.” As the DCSD Outstanding First Year Teacher, Wynn will be a member of the Darlington County Leadership Council and the Darlington County Teacher Forum. She will have multiple networking and teacher leadership opportunities throughout the upcoming year. In all, eleven first-year teachers were nominated by their principals for the distinguished award: • Amber Jordan, BrunsonDargan Elementary • Kellie Flowers, Darlington County Institute of Technology • Julie Weigand, Darlington High • Melissa Cobb, Darlington Middle • Kelly Long, Mayo High School for Math, Science & Technology • Nicola Wynn, Rosenwald Elementary/Middle School • Christopher Cummings, Spaulding Middle School • Amanda Craig, St. John’s Elementary • Brittany Vasseur, Thornwell School for the Arts • Denise Pinkerman, Washington St. Elementary • Shaneka Godfrey, Brockington Elementary Magnet School From left, Julie Weigand, finalist from Darlington High; Nicola Wynn, 2015 DCSD Outstanding First Year Teacher & a teacher at Rosenwald Elementary/Middle School; and Kelly Long, finalist from Mayo High School for Math, Science & Technology. Myrtle Beach Middle School and Myrtle Beach High School. They happened to be assigned seats right next to each other. “I don’t hate her, but I hate her ways,” Roxy said. “My family owned a park only one third of a mile away from Myrtle Manor and we’ve known each other and have been in competition for a long time.” Roxy’s father bought the Sandridge Mobile Home Park some 25 years ago according to Roxy, which instantly made the two rivals. Along with Sandridge, Roxy also manages Gasque Village Creek and Myrtle Manor. The road to landing a spot on “Welcome to Myrtle Manor” began after Cecil Patrick saw a huge billboard on Highway 17 advertising Village Creek Mobile Home Park as the Park of the Year, but what really drew him to it was a picture of Roxy with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth on the sign. “When Mr. Cecil saw the billboard he about wrecked,” Roxy said laughing. Patrick knew that “Roxy” would be a perfect fit for the show and she appeared in the second season and is now a regular cast member. Roxy, who some label as a villain on the show, said appearing on the show is an honor. “I don’t do it for money or fame,” “Roxy said. “I did it to be a blessing to others.” When asked about a typical day of filming on the set, Roxy said, “They mike you up and follow you around everywhere.” She says she works some days for 10 hours, and has had longer days for the show that just finished its third season. She said that some of her favorite people on the show are Mr. Cecil, Mrs. Barbara and her daughter, Dana. Even though Roxy lives and works in Myrtle Beach now, she still loves her hometown of Darlington and will ride in the upcoming Southern 500 parade on Labor Day weekend. She makes the trip home often to see her family and is the daughter of Ronnie and Pearlie Ann Buck, and has two sisters Karen Muir and Rhonda Buck. She is also the mother of an eleven-year-old son and a seven-year-old daughter. She attended Pate Elementary School, BrunsonDargan Junior High School, then moved to the beach and attended Myrtle Beach Middle, Myrtle Beach High School. She later moved back to Darlington, and attended Calvary Christian School. The 34 year old holds an associate degree from Florence-Darlington Technical College, and two bachelor degrees- one from Coker College, the other from Francis Marion University. Her advice to anyone wanting to get involved with any type of television is simple. “Stay in school, dream big, and your dreams will come true,” Roxy said. NEWS AND PRESS | DARLINGTON, S.C. PAGE 8A | WEDNESDAY MAY 20, 2015 by Samantha Lyles Staff Writer slyles@newsandpress.net Darlington High School welcomed a new addition to their athletics program last Thursday, naming Frances Fields as the new girls basketball coach and Student Advocate Specialist. Coach Fields is currently the Head Varsity Girls Basketball/Track & Field Coach at Lakewood High School in Sumter, SC. “We are excited to introduce Coach Fields as our next girls basketball coach.

WEDNESDAY MAY 20, 2015 | PAGE 9A Week two of spring practice shows improvement By Drake Horton Contributing Writer The Darlington Falcons finished up its second week of spring practice this past week and ‘so far so good’ seems to be the message coming from the Falcons camp. During the first week of spring practice, all the players, returning and new, were just trying to learn and grasp all of the new concepts that relate to new head football coach John Jones’s systems. In week two Jones wanted the team show that it was retaining the information. What he has seen so far indicates that the team is quickly picking up what the coaches want out of each and every player as week two has wrapped up. “I think one of our biggest things is they are starting to understand what we are looking for schematically on offense and defense and starting to get a little bit of a grasp of the three areas, special teams included,” Jones said on the progress of the team. “That is all we are looking for in the spring. We leave here knowing the system.” What’s helping this quick transition from former head coach Will Lampkin’s system to Jones’s system is the fact that player participation and eagerness to learn has been exceptional for the for the Falcons over these first two weeks of spring practice. “One thing we are proud of is we got these guys and they’re showing up every day and doing what they are supposed to do and they are buying in to what we are trying to teach them and there are so many different lessons that come out of football, not just the game itself, but some life lesson stuff,” Jones said, expressing is happiness with how the players are showing up for practice every day. “Hopefully we will continue to build that.” A key number to show that students are interested in playing and eager to make serious contributions to the team is 75. That is how many the Falcons had come out to each practice this past week and while that number might be down from the 98 in week one, losing just 23 players is well below the norm when it relates to spring practice. “We are not complaining about the numbers right now,” Jones said on the number of players participating in spring practice. “None of this includes our middle school guys who will be ninth graders next year. So we’re happy with our numbers right now.” But the numbers alone is not the only reason for the smooth transition. Instead of going in head first and demanding too much too quickly, Jones has taken a slower approach. During this past week and the opening week the Falcons did not practice in pads, instead they just used helmets, allowing all of the players to focus on fundamentals and the schematics of both the offense and defense before allowing the physical part of the game to take place. Darlington does go to full pads this week. “We will be in full pads,” Jones said. “We just waited a couple extra days because we wanted to teach and make sure that everything was smooth with our system. All three of our phases of our game they understand what we have to do, now we can come out here and concentrate on just doing what we are supposed to do and playing fast.” When asked if any player had really started to stand out during each practice Jones did not label one particular player by name, but instead said that each group has its fair share of players who look and act ready to be leaders on the team. “We have four or five guys in each group, you know, doing things to stand out,” Jones said, discussing the leadership on his team. “No one person has pushed himself further than anybody else. I think we’re really pleased as a coaching staff in the fact all these guys are out here busting their butt and working super hard and all of our coaches are doing a great job.” And while everything appears to be good on the home front, especially in the fact that the players are quickly learning the system, Jones still says that all three phases; offense, defense and special teams, still have work to do. “All three of them we need a lot of work on,” Jones said on which group needs more work. “I think right now we might be a little ahead defensively than we are offensively, but we are starting to catch on offensively. We had a great week and they are starting to make strides, but as far as everything we are doing right now, we still need a lot of work.” With week two now in the books and the team currently working on week three of spring practice the Falcons are looking to take all that was learned in the first two weeks and apply in the third week as the team adds pads to the element of practice. With the graduation of quarterback Shakeem Thomas, the Falcons are now in the process of looking for someone who can take the snaps this season. PHOTO BY DRAKE HORTON.

In a dizzying array of wins, the track team brought home medals and broke state records on Saturday, May 16th filling up Facebook with so many updates that they practically broke the Internet.

After the meet, Coach Wideman shared the following on Facebook: “Today was an amazing day for me as a coach! My assistant coaches and I talked about the possibility of a top 5 finish if everything fell into place a few weeks ago as we started to plan for the journey to state. I am exceptionally blessed to have three assistant coaches who make me a better head coach! I was also blessed to have a senior sprinter who bought in to my philosophy early despite being somewhat skeptical. She also would become an amazing leader to a group of young sprinters with very little experience. I am also blessed to have some of the most amazing parents a coach could ask for. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Save the date St John's High School Alumni Association The Saint John's High (SJH) Alumni Association reunion weekend is September 25, 2015 to September 26, 2015 in Darlington, SC.

I was never a State champ, but I learned what it took to be a champ, passion and hard work, from them. Today's 2nd place finish feels like a championship, as it was so much more than we expected!” More details from the State Meet: • Karissa Lunn was the first female from DHS to compete in the 100 M Dash since 2009. Karissa's 3rd place finish in the 100, as far as we can find, is the highest finish for a Falcon in this event. Karissa also competed in the State Meet all four years of high school as part of the 4x100. • Heidi McNeil competed in the 800 M Run. She is the first and only female from DHS to compete in the 800 and 1600 M Runs. She competed in the 1600 her freshman year finishing 5th. Heidi will graduate holding 4 school records. 8002:22.09/1600-5:25.22/3200-13:08/5k19:31.08. The 800, 1600, and 5k times were all set in State Meet competition. Heidi was All-State as a Junior in CC and All-State as a Senior in the 800. • DHS girls 4x100 M Relay finished in 2nd the last two years at State. For Angel Alexiis and Karissa Lunn, yesterday was a bigger deal than most. Going out on the top of the podium is the only way to go! • Tray Dubose represented Darlington in the 110 M Hurdles; this was the 6th year in a row we had someone in the state meet in that event, and have had someone in the 110's eight out of the last nine years. We have had two State Champions in the event during that run. Tray is among the following great hurdlers to make it to State for DHS: Will Kinard Cobia, Tre Gee, Markese Robinson, and Tray Jett Where is this in Darlington County? Last week’s photo was of the Lowther’s Hill Cemetary in Mechanicsville, located at 2828 Cashua Ferry Rd. This burial ground was used as a cemetery from 1789 to 1956. It is supposedly haunted, depending on whom you talk to. The cemetery is the eternal resting spot for many notable Darlington County residents including: Major Robert Lide, Capt. Thomas E. Hart, and John Westfield Lide. Not many of the stones are still standing, making the cemetery one that joins the ranks of others that vandals have bothered, much to the dismay of residents. Readers that guessed correctly were: Shelby Galloway, Frank Helms, Frank Coefield, Russell Galloway, Bill Segars, and Alice James. Alice has lived in Mechanicsville all her life, and said she remembered with the stones were still there. “I understand that the broken headstones are housed by the Historical Society. A group of men from our community called the "COOTS" keep that cemetery up.” Can you guess where in Darlington County this week’s photo was taken?

WWW.NEWSANDPRESSONLINE.COM Handmade with prayer ... with a lot of fun By Jana E. Pye Editor editor@newsandpress.net The Peaceful Piece Makers are a delightful group of women that use their gifts of sewing talent and creative artistry to craft beautiful cloth pieces that comfort children and adults across the world from their workroom at Mechanicsville Baptist Church. According to the church’s pastor Frankie Tanner, “They sew the love of Christ with every stitch.” The group of women from five different churches gather on Wednesday mornings at 9 o’clock with their fabric, and accoutrement in rolling carts and assemble in a work room in a building adjoining the sanctuary. A smaller room houses their impressive amount of completed projects for local and global missions. The women met on May 13th for a “Jelly Roll Contest” to see who could sew a quilt top the fastest using a coiled roll of fabric strips together of coordinating patriotic fabrics of red, white and blue. Each woman that participated brought her own machine and spread out in a larger room…some with great trepidation. “I’ve got the froggie!” called out one woman, holding up a seam ripper. “We used to just rip the seams out, but with Dale, we know better than to try that!” Dale Montrose is the leader of the group, and keeps the women busy throughout the year with projects that are truly impressive for a group of this size, including: • Adult bibs for local nursing homes and McLeod Hospice • Soft flannel receiving blankets with two cloth diapers and pins for mission trips • Lightweight quilts for Choice 2 M8K Crisis Pregnancy Care Center and global missions in Hondurus and Guatemala • Quilts with matching diaper bags for church members • Little chair covers for PVC constructed child chairs • Patriotic quilts for Wounded Soldiers and local veteran •Quilts for bazaars • Sewing kits for missions • Toiletry bags made from terry washcloths with slots for toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, and soap • Fleece blankets for abused children at My Stuff Bags Foundation in California • Little dresses and panties with ribbon ties and lace from leftover fabric are crafted by Helen Pilgrim • Pillows are sewn for abused children, and “tear pillows”for missionaries • Cross quilts for mission work, given to pastors • And more projects that seem to grow each month. Three of the women own long armed quilt machines, but the rest rely on the help of the group to help attach the quilt tops to the batting and backing. Some are hand tied, and some are quilted with the assistance of the long armed machines. Pastor Tanner brings along many of the Peaceful Piece Maker items along with him on mission trips to Somitillo, Nicaragua, and Honduras that he leads each year. “I hope to one day bring a few of these women with me on the mission trips to help train the women, and men in these areas how to create the quilts and projects on their own,” said Tanner. “We hope to one day help them to be self sufficient, and have Peaceful Piece Makers in other countries as not only a source of revenue but as a ministry.” The group also donates items to orphans in Romania, hosted by Freedom Baptist Church. Each of the handcrafted items are brought to the front of the church and prayed over before donations. Although their work takes much care and concentration, they do have fun; a little too much fun at times, and Montrose has to get them to settle down. Before the Jelly Roll contest, she chided them to use good language (something that made all the women laugh!) and to not sing out loud when working to distract others. When the women go on field trips to craft shows, they take Pastor Tanner’s van that has a bumper sticker that says, “Fishers of Men”, getting a lot of attention from gentleman. “We’ve gotten a lot of laughs over that one!” said Belinda Bonnoitt. Much like they spent time enjoying company in Home Ec. Classes as youngsters, the ladies enjoy the camaraderie of the group as much as they take pride in their completed pieces. The women each recently completed their own Blocks of the Bible quilts, which include quilt squares that signify different bible stories. Sales of quilts at two church bazaars and craft shows help to fund the fabric bought by the women, but truth to be told, the women do much of the purchasing of supplies on their own. “It becomes part of our tithe,” said Cathy Benton. “We just love to do this.” The women are taking a summer vacation from working, but will begin anew in the fall.

She is a graduate of Francis Marion University with a B.S. in Elementary Education. She is employed by Darlington County School District as a 5th grade teacher at BrunsonDargan Elementary School in Darlington, South Carolina.

He is a graduate of Clemson University with a B.S. in Computer Engineering. He is employed by Duke Energy as a plant systems engineer at the Robinson Nuclear Plant. The wedding will be June 27, 2015 at Lakeview Baptist Church in Hartsville, South Carolina. Murphy Lee is enjoying her trek to the Miss South Carolina crown If you talk to Murphy Lee, she will be the first one to tell you that she’s not your typical pageant girl. Growing up Murphy admits that she was a tomboy at heart but is now happy to compete for the coveted Miss South Carolina title this summer in Columbia, as only one of the handfull of girls from Darlington to have competed. “It feels like I’m making waves by being the first girl to represent Darlington High School at the Miss South Carolina pageant,” Lee said.All of this started back in 2012, when Lee was approached by former Miss Darlington pageant director Will Isgett, after he heard her sing at the S.C. Sweet Potato Festival. “I heard this voice coming from the stage at the Sweet Potato Festival and thought to myself who is this girl,” Isgett said. “I walked over and took a listen and realized she was a voice student of my friend Kendall Standish. I called Kendall the next week and got her to do the 2012 Miss Darlington Teen pageant.” After the Miss Darlington pageant went away and the newly formed Miss S.C. Sweet Potato Festival Teen pageant came around in 2014, once again she decided to compete. In that pageant she won the talent award and garnered second-runner-up honors in the Teen division, which made even hungrier. When she heard that Darlington High School was going to revive its pageant she competed in April 2014 and was crowned Miss DHS at St. John’s Elementary School Auditorium. Under new Miss South Carolina and Miss America pageant rules a high queen can now compete at the state level as long as they are 17 years old and must use the mascot of their school as their title. The rules states that a high school winner cannot walk across the stage in a swimsuit, which meant she would be Miss Falcon and not Miss Darlington High School at state. Although Darlington High School has a Miss Falcon through the athletic booster club, the two titles are totally different and their queen still continues her responsibility. Murphy didn’t hold the title but eight months since a new Miss DHS was crowned in November 2014, but Principal Greg Harrison agreed to give the outgoing queen the opportunity to compete for Miss South Carolina, since it had been a life long dream. Lee has appeared at numerous Darlington High School events including Key Club’s Thanksgiving Celebration and the Student Government’s Christmas with Santa event, along with singing the national anthem at several athletic events including the Special Olympics. She also appeared at the Taste of the Falcons and participated in the Old’s Peoples Christmas event helping fill bags with goodies and then helped distribute them in the community During her reign she attended the Miss South Carolina USA pageant in Charleston, met Darlington Raceway’s Lady in Black Kaitlyn Bailey, read to the students at Pate School as part of American Education week, rode in the Darlington Christmas and the Lamar Egg Scramble Festival parades, attended the City of Darlington Christmas Tree lighting, sang at Dashing through the Square, appeared on Carolina and Company live on ABC 15, attended the Miss Camden and Miss Florence Scholarship Pageants, attended the Orlando Hudson Autism Charity weekend bowling event and sang at halftime of the charity basketball game, assisted at McLeod Children’s Hospital Chef and Child eventd and raised money for the Children’s Miracle network at IHOP’s National Pancake Day, attended the Miss South Carolina Pageant work weekend in Columbia, participated in the Miss America Day of Service with her project called “Building a Friend”, appeared at the Darlington County Relay for Life and volunteered at the Marcus Lattimore Tailgate Experience, which benefitted the McLeod Children’s Hospital.

WEDNESDAY MAY 20, 2015 | PAGE 5B The reports of our death have been greatly exaggerated! By Jimmie Epling Director Darlington County Library System Every now and again a prophet possessing the great wisdom gained from years of learning and experience will ask, “do we need libraries?” Some say libraries are dying. Others see a more promising future, if libraries act now to secure it. Not long ago leadership and management guru Steve Denning asked this same question at the combined Library Leaders Summit and the Computers in Libraries Con-ference in Washington, D.C. (see Fortune. April 28, 2015). Denning observed “libraries everywhere are under threat of extinction,” just like many sectors of the business world, “from massive disruptions of their business.” His answer to the question “do we need libraries” was yes, but libraries have to change to meet the needs of those they serve. To those who say libraries are dying, the Library responds with a version of the popular Mark Twain misquote, “The reports of the death of the Darlington County Library System have been greatly exaggerated!” There is no denying that the world we live in has changed dramatically in the last two decades. As an example, think of the changes brought about by just one invention, the smartphone. What once needed more than a dozen devices that would span the width of a basketball court, we can now accomplish with one that fits in the palm of our hand. Services we frequently use have changed as well, such as banking. ATMs, automatic deposits, electronic bill paying, mobile payment, and digital wallets have radically changed banking. Of course, all this new technology has not made our lives quite as idyllic as Mr. Denning suggests. It has given rise to new costs, cyber hacking and algorithmic trading. In an ever-evolving “brave new world,” Mr. Denning sees taxi service being replaced by Uber and Lyft, no one needing to buy a car when there is Zipcar or Car2Go, and no need for huge hotels when Airbnb has you covered with 800,000 listings in 33,000 cities. All are intriguing services that are still evolving. All these have their place and time, but I’ll keep my car. Within the world Mr. Denning describes, physical book stories have “succumbed to Amazon” as paper books are replaced by the Kindle and other devices. It seems he hasn’t noted e-books sales have dramatically slowed. Yes, he is right when he points out that the last Encyclopedia Britannica printed was in 2010, with its 40,000 articles and 100 editors in one language. But to say it is “no match” for Wikipedia with 35 million articles that are constantly updated by 69,000 editors in 288 languages it a bit of a stretch. It was recently reported that after a decade all those Wikipedia editors finally caught and removed an entry created by an anonymous Australian contributor who concocted a fake Aboriginal deity named Jar'Edo Wens. It seems these editors are a bit slow about updates, too. As an example of such, the “Algorithmic Trading” article includes the note, “this article is outdated. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. (January 2015).” The authoritative and reliable Britannica, which is constantly being updated, is available online to you through our 24/7 reference database resource, DISCUS. So, faced with these trends, can libraries, like our own, avoid the Grim Reaper of progress and disruption? Mr. Denning says we can. Sure we can and are already doing so! Mr. Denning’s first suggestion is that we not focus on outputs, that is to say just counting stuff that happens. He is correct. It is just not enough to focus on the number of items we circulate, number of attendees at children’s programs, or computer users. We have to look at what is behind the numbers. What do they show? When you walk into a place, you want a “delightful” experience. We call it providing an exceptional customer experience. We want you to enjoy your Library visit. That is why, within the last year, we renovated and expanded the Lamar Branch. We are now renovating the Darlington Branch. Part of the “delightful” experience is finding what you want, whether it is the latest best seller, access to the web from your own device or through our public computers, or being helped by “cool” librarians. All the capabilities and ingenuity of our talented library staff is focused on anticipating what you really want and delivering it. “Continuous innovation” is the catch phrase Mr. Denning uses to describe a shift in values from efficiency to continuous improvement. He is absolutely right in that we must look to the future and encourage innovation. Moving the Library forward to meet the ever-changing needs of our community requires an outstanding and dynamic leadership at all levels within the Library that is dedicated to seeking out new opportunities to improve the Library for you. This kind of thinking is at the core of our values and what we will deliver. Within the next couple of weeks, we will be announcing the Summer Reading Program and its unique twist, a new effort to get books into the hands of our students this summer, a new magazine collection, and new training opportunities. We will even be experimenting with a library catalog that uses the Raspberry Pi and touch screen monitors in the months ahead. We must continuously innovative to avoid becoming obsolete. The next suggestion of Mr. Denning is actually a “no brainer” for any business or organization that wants to survive changes that make things better for the Library, but not for our customers, will lead to disaster. We are looking for better, faster, cheaper, more mobile, more convenient, and more personalized ways to serve you. Customer service is all about customer convenience. Customer convenience is not being transferred on the phone four times until you reach the person that can help you, who just so happens to be in the Philippines. It is not discovering an extra one-dollar charge on your bank statement from a certain gas station for using a debit card! Do not worry, there will be no new “convenience” rules or changes introduced at the Library. Finding and filling needs customers haven’t even imagined yet is another suggestion from Mr. Denning. The Library has resources and a talented staff able to make things happen when there is a need. Imagining future needs in the community and how we can fill those needs, outside the bounds of “traditional” library services, is part of what we do. Is the future of public libraries and the Darlington County Library System’s as dim as some would have you believe? Absolutely not! We are going to avoid a visit by the Grim Reaper by looking into the future, changing to meet it, proactively shaping it, and anticipating what you and our community wants in a library. Yes, reports of our pending death have been greatly exaggerated!

AND PRESS | DARLINGTON, S.C. PAGE 6B | WEDNESDAY MAY 20, 2015 Headed to the beach? Watch out for horseshoe crabs! They bleed blue blood, scavenge the seafloor with 10 eyes, and are most closely related to spiders and scorpions. Horseshoe crabs may look alien, but they're an indispensible part of both the medical world and coastal food webs across the globe. They're also spawning in South Carolina until July, affording S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) biologists and the public a chance to learn more about an animal that appeared on Earth long before the dinosaurs. Want a closer look? Check out the SC Aquarium in Charleston this Saturday, May 14, when DNR biologists will be collecting horseshoe crabs from the shoreline adjacent to the Aquarium, tagging them, and answering your questions. This live event is open to the public and runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Horseshoe crabs come ashore en masse during spawning season to lay and fertilize eggs. The crabs appear in greatest numbers under the tides of full and new moons, laying their eggs where they'll stand the best chance of survival. These tiny, greenish eggs are packed with nutrients that sustain enormous flocks - and at times even entire species - of shorebirds. The survival of the red knot, a federally threatened shorebird, depends upon a plentiful supply of horseshoe crab eggs along their migration route, which can extend from the tip of South America to the Arctic. Horseshoe crabs can be a lifeline for humans, too. If you've ever received a flu shot, you've benefitted from the biology of these unusual creatures. A test derived from their blood remains the best tool doctors have for checking the safety of injectable medicines and implantable medical devices. That means every tetanus shot administered and pacemaker implanted is first tested for bacterial contamination using an extract from horseshoe crab blood. The horseshoe crab's ecological and medical significance makes understanding and protecting the species a priority for DNR. For over fifteen years, DNR biologists have participated in a national tagging program, affixing plastic disks with unique numeric codes to the shells of hundreds of horseshoe crabs so their movements can be better tracked. "In collaboration with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, SCDNR has tagged over 9,000 HSC since 1997," said marine scientist Dr. Amy Fowler. "Over the past year, we've conducted mark-recapture tagging studies, egg surveys on known spawning beaches, and the start of a population genetic assessment." Last summer, a pilot study analyzing genetic samples from 100 St. Helena Sound horseshoe crabs indicated the crabs belonged to a relatively large and diverse population. DNR biologists will continue that work at the statewide scale this summer to determine if significant genetic differentiation exists between horseshoe crabs of separate estuaries along the coast of South Carolina. Horseshoe crab numbers have seen a steep decline across much of the eastern seaboard, due in part to their popularity as bait for eel and whelk fisheries. South Carolina only allows harvest for biomedical and educational purposes; biomedical permit holders temporarily collect and extract blood from horseshoe crabs before returning them to South Carolina waters. You can help horseshoe crabs by reporting tagged crabs (call 1-888-546-8587; w e b s i t e http://www.fws.gov/crabtag/) and overturning stranded individuals you encounter on the beach. Wave action can flip horseshoe crabs onto their shells as they come ashore to mate and lay eggs, killing many adults each year. By turning stranded horseshoe crabs over (grabbing by the tail can injure these animals), you can save a life and help ensure the health of their in South population Carolina.

The Township estimates that the cost of designing, engineering, constructing, and equipping the Project and the costs of issuance of the Bond, will be an amount not exceeding $2,000,000. Therefore, the County Council has ordered a public hearing to be held upon the question of the issuance of the Bond in accordance with the provisions of Act No. 1189 of 1974, as amended (the “Enabling Act”). The Township is located within the County. The Enabling Act provides that bonds issued thereunder must be authorized by the governing body of the County wherein the Township is located. Accordingly, notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held in the Darlington County Council Chambers located at the Darlington Courthouse County Annex/EMS Building, 1625 Harry Byrd Highway (Hwy. 151), Darlington, South Carolina 29532, on the 1st day of June, 2015, at 6:00 p.m., on the question of the issuance of the Bond. For the payment of principal and interest on the Bond as it matures and for the creation of such sinking fund as may be necessary therefor, the full faith, credit and taxing power of the Township shall be irrevocably pledged, and there shall be levied on all taxable property in the Township, without limit, ad valorem taxes sufficient in amount to pay said principal and interest on the Bond. The Township proposes the issuance of the Bond to defray the cost of the Project as described above and costs of issuance of the Bond. The aforesaid hearing shall be conducted publicly and both proponents and opponents of the proposed action shall be given full opportunity to be heard in person or by counsel. Following the hearing, the County Council shall, by ordinance, make a finding as to whether and to what extent the Bond should be issued and may thereupon authorize the governing body of the Township to issue the Bond to the extent it shall be found necessary.

CHARLES WATSON Appraiser CR-2868 Cell: 245-3103 Answers from 2B FMU campus set to become a movie set Francis Marion University has long been known as one South Carolina’s most beautiful college campuses. Now it’s set to become one of the state’s most beautiful movie sets. The South Carolina- and California-based independent film company G That’s Entertainment Inc. will be filming a made-for-TV movie on the FMU campus for two weeks, beginning May 16. The broadcast destination for the project is uncertain. But the movie, entitled Suicide Note, a mystery involving college students, features strong female characters. It will likely air on a cable network aimed at female audiences. Elizabeth Snoderly, the producer of Suicide Note and one of the principals in G That’s Entertainment, says FMU is an obvious choice. FMU students will have the opportunity to participate in the production. Students have been offered the chance to perform behind-the-scenes work, and to appear on camera as extras and in small roles. Some members of FMU’s fine arts faculty may also appear in the movie. Suicide Note will be shot in a variety of campus locations. Some shooting will also take place in Marion. G That’s Entertainment used Marion locales for an earlier project, 12 Dog Days Till Christmas. It was filmed in 2012 and aired on the USA Network. The cast for Suicide Note includes Kirby Bliss Blanton, who was in the 2014 movie Project X; Brant Daugherty from Pretty Little Liars, and The Starving Games; Stephen Colletti from One Tree Hill; Gabielle Carteris, who played the character Andrea in Beverly Hills 90210; and Lexi Giovagnoli from 12 Dog Days Till Christmas and All She Wishes.
