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.”

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Lord Cares to assist people of
our area.

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.

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.
Those that wish to review
the United States Marine
Corps’ tattoo policy may do so

South Carolina kids doing worse
By phil Noble
president of the S.C. 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.

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

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.”

budget of $1.2 million, and a
hospitality fee fund budget of

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

Keeping the Faith
Pushing Stones
In Greek mythology there
was a mighty king named
Sisyphus. 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.

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,

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.

Hartsville Police have
made three arrests after a
traffic stop led to a search
for a suspect on Thursday,
May 14.
Sean Devon James, 21, is
charged with burglary in the
first degree as well as possession of a weapon during
the commission of a violent
crime. James’ charges come
from warrants issued after a
shooting incident, which
occurred on Camellia Lane

is additionally charged with
malicious injury to personal
property following an incident that occurred at the
time of his arrest at a South
Tenth Street residence.
Kristina Denise Taylor, 37,
James’ mother, is charged
with speeding and driving
without a license in possession following a West
Carolina Avenue traffic stop
before the suspect search.
Dawneisha Johnson, 20, is
charged with hindering officers after James was found
at the residence.
After a patrol officer
stopped a van for speeding
at approximately 7:45 a.m.
Thursday morning, a passenger in the vehicle, recognized as having outstanding
warrants from an April 20
case, fled south on foot. The
Hartsville
Police
Department as well as the
Darlington County Sheriff’s
Office, including bloodhound units, searched for
the suspect through areas of

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.

increase confidence and selfworth in my students.”

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.

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.

Copeland has signed her Letter

“I have played softball since
I was old enough to hold a ball
and I don’t ever want to stop
playing,” said Copeland. “I
chose
Montreat
College
because it’s a beautiful
Christian school that will allow
me to do what I want to do academically, as well as give me
the opportunity to play the
game I love.”
“Carly has spirit and excitement about the game,” said
Heather Maston, head softball
coach at Montreat College.
“She has fantastic grades, she’s
a good kid, and we are really
excited to have her be a part of
our program.”
“Carly will play softball
and still pursue the course of
study she wants to pursue in a
Christian environment, which
is important to Carly and her
family,” said Coach Alan Poole,
Lamar High’s athletic director.
“We know she will do well.”

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

weren't for those who coached me when I
was in high school. I was never a State

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? Please send your guesses to: editor@newsandpressonline.com or
call 393-3811. Good luck!

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.

CROSSWORD
Byrd - Johnson
Engagement
Mr. and Mrs. Tommy
Pierce of Hartsville, South
Carolina and Mr. Mel Byrd of

Jeffrey Heyward Johnson,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave
Johnson of Hartsville, South
Carolina.
The bride elect is the
granddaughter of the late Mr.
and Mrs. J.D. Jones of
Hartsville, South Carolina
and the late Mr. and Mrs.
Jimmy Byrd of Hartsville,
South Carolina. 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.
The groom elect is the
grandson of Mr. and Mrs.
Heyward Dixon of Hartsville,
South Carolina and Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Johnson of
Dudley, North Carolina. He is
a graduate of Clemson
University with a B.S. in
Computer Engineering. He is
employed by Duke Energy as

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.
All this while maintaining
her top ten ranking at
Darlington High School where
she will be an honors graduate
and serving as President of the
Student Government
Association and Vice President
of the National Honor Society.

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!

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.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC
HEARING ON THE
PROPOSED ISSUE OF A
NOT EXCEEDING
$2,000,000 GENERAL
OBLIGATION BOND
OF THE HARTSVILLE
TOWNSHIP,
SOUTH CAROLINA
The County Council of
Darlington County (hereinafter called the “County
Council”), which is the governing body of Darlington County,
South
Carolina
(the
“County”), has determined
that it may be in the interest of
the Hartsville Township,
South Carolina (hereinafter
called the “Township”), to
raise moneys through the
issuance of a not exceeding
$2,000,000 general obligation
bond of the Township (the
“Bond”) in order to provide
funds to defray: (A) the costs
of upgrading, improving and
retrofitting the Hartsville
Community Center Buildings,
including the theatre and
other facilities owned and
operated by the Commission,
which includes painting and
carpeting, flooring repairs and
refinishing, roof improvements, rest room upgrades,
elevator installment, marquee
improvements and various
other upgrades and improvements
(collectively,
the
“Project”); and (B) the costs of
issuance of the Bond. 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.

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.
