Gen. Francis
Marion
Dale Weatherford’s habit of
drawing in class put him into
grade school hot water while
growing up in Darlington.
Today, his ability to mix
academics with art is earning
him accolades at Francis
Marion University.
FMU’s Department of
History just unveiled a painting by Weatherford of General
Francis Marion, the university’s namesake, and hung it in
a place of honor: the History
Students’ Lounge in Founders
Hall.
Dr. Chris Kennedy, chair of
the Department of History,
says that Weatherford, a senior History major and honors
student, was ideal to tackle
the new Marion work.
Kennedy “commissioned” the
work by Weatherford after
seeing an earlier work by him,
a depiction of the signing of
the
Declaration
of
Independence. That piece,
says Kennedy, “was excellent.
“(Dale) is a wonderful student of History, particularly
the
colonial-revolutionary
period of United States’
History,” says Kennedy. “He is
also an accomplished artist
whose art work speaks for
itself. It is professional in its
realism and attention to
detail, like the clothing, uniforms, insignia, and other
characteristics of his subject
matter. … He does an excellent job of combining his
knowledge of History with his
artistry.”
Weatherford called the
opportunity to paint Francis
Marion for Francis Marion a
real honor.
“The university was named
after him,” says Weatherford.
“That’s the main reason.”

Darlington County has
indefinitely tabled a proposal to charge businesses an
annual registration fee, this
according to county administrator Terence Arrington
who addressed the matter at
Darlington County Council's
April 20 meeting.
“That item has been
pulled and I haven't identified a date at which it will be
put back on council's agenda
for
discussion,”
said
Arrington.
This business registration
fee, proposed as Ordinance
15-10, came up for first reading at council's March 16
meeting and met with immediate resistance from local
business representatives,
like the directors of both the
Darlington and Hartsville
Chambers of Commerce. The
proposed $10 fee would be
levied countywide, and
could include businesses
located within municipalities as well as unincorporated areas.
On the regular agenda,
council approved final reading for Ordinance 15-09,
amending finance codes to
formally grant discretional
funding powers to the county administrator and allowing the admin to clear interfund transfers of up to

$5,000 between departmental activities. That measure
is included in the county's
annual budget ordinances,
but this amendment ends
the need to redraft and
include it each year. The
amendment also broadens
the administrator's funding
discretion to include personnel line items.
Council approved second
reading of Ordinance 15-11,
requiring a fee be paid for
the use of Darlington County
facilities for meetings, activities, and functions. The
ordinance also removes the
Lamar Recreation Center
from the list of available
facilities since the building
has been converted for use
as the Lamar Magistrate
Office. A revised user fee
schedule for county facilities
will be drafted, and final
reading for this ordinance
should take place at council's May 2 meeting.

Friends of Nicky Demetrious resurrect
scholarship endowment at FMU
By Jana E. Pye
Editor
editor@newsandpressonline.com
Nicky Demetrious was
larger than life; a handsome
Greek with a constant smile,
a friend to all he met.
Six years after his death,
Nicky’s friends in the Pee Dee
still speak of him fondly; they
are happy to hear that the
scholarship in his name at his
alma mater is nearing the
endowment funding goal.
Nicky Chris Demetrious
was the son of the late Katina
Papaioannou
Demetrious
and Christos “Gus” Nicholas
Demetrious, joined by two
sisters- Mary Demetrious of
Darlington,
and
Paula
Demetrious
Lawson
of
Florence.
Nicky Demetrious
Nicky graduated from
Francis Marion University in
the early 1970’s after serving
his country with the United
States Marine Corps during
the Vietnam War. He was an
avid tennis player and cyclist,
and the owner-operator of
the Carolina Lunch/Dairy
Bar in Darlington.
The scholarship was
established
by
Charles
Howard, Sr. president of
Chase Oil Co. in Florence,
and many of Nicky’s friends
that wanted to establish this
scholarship in his memory.
Unfortunately after Nicky’s
death in January of 2009, the
national economy was in turmoil; the endowment goal
of $25,000 was not met.
However,
representatives
from FMU say that the endowment is
now merely
$10,000 away from that goal.

Five people walked into a
motorcycle safety classroom on
a recent Friday night at
Florence Darlington Technical
College (FDTC), and after two
long days of instruction on
bikes, emerged Sunday with a
new-found confidence.
The course is designed for a
dozen students, so that six can
be doing exercises while the
other half of the class observes.
FDTC is so committed to the
program, however, that the
class is held, even if there are
only five students.
“Look at the magnitude of
personal attention they are
getting,” said John Petrach,
head of the department for the
past eight years.
“We struggle sometimes
with the economics, because
you can easily envision a small
class is much smaller compared to a full class of twelve,
the expenses are no different.
Fortunately here at FlorenceDarlington,
our
VP
of
Continuing Education, Max
Welch, who is responsible for
this program, is extremely
supportive. If we continue to
provide a valuable service to
the community, he will continue to support us. And small
classes like this are just fine.”
In South Carolina, the
state’s technical colleges offer
the
classes
using
the
Motorcycle Safety Foundation
(MSF) approved instruction
and course designs, along with
four Harley Davison Academy
locations in the state. After
successful completion, students of the Basic class receive
a MSF Completion Card.

Washday Memories
By Bill Shepard
On that part of the old mill village in Darlington (over the
creek), there are two narrow streams of water that we called
ditches. The spring-fed streams begin at the north end of the
area and follow along the edge of the village, making their final
rendezvous with Swift Creek at the south end of the village. The
ditches were flowing when the Shepard family arrived there in
1922. Recently, I was there and they are still murmuring along.
It was along these ditches (various locations on the village),
the women of the village would gather to do their family’s weekly laundering. Each family, if desired, could have their own
wash-bench. The bench, which was made of wooden boards,
would accommodate three large tin tubs. Nearby would be a
large black iron wash-pot. The wash-pot was used to boil the
heavy and deeply soiled work clothes. A family would choose its
own day for wash-day and make it a regular time each week.
Mondays were the Shepard’s wash-day. Every Monday morning,
Mama would tie all of the family’s dirty clothes in a large bed
sheet, place a box of washing powder and alarge piece of lye
soap inside and we were off to our spot along the ditch. The
clothes would be transported on my homemade wagon, build
with wheels and axles from the salvage pile behind the big mill.
This was the day I looked forward to each week. Of course, I
wasn’t chosen every week, as there were two other Shepard
boys, each wanting their day to be chosen! Being chosen meant
a day we would skip school at St. John’s. Mama would write a
note to the teacher the next day saying, “Please excuse Bill for
being absent, as he was needed at home. The next day I would
present that note to my teacher, and that would satisfy her.
Being needed at home was indeed a truth! The big black
wash-pot and the three large tubs had to be filled with water
from the ditch. That would take several trips from the washbench to the ditch, bringing buckets filled with water. Once the
wash-pot was filled, a fire would be kindled around it and the
soiled clothes would begin boiling. Homemade lye soap would
be used in the wash-pot. It would be my job to keep the fire
burning; fuel gathered from the surrounding pasture was dead
limbs from the trees near by. The clothes would need stirring
often while they were boiling. Clothes less soiled would be
placed in a tub of hot water, and Mama would scrub them by
hand until they were clean. I have seen my mama’s hands bleed
from the hard scrubbing and strong lye water. Sad memories!
There would be other children present, helping their mothers; and when we were not needed to bring water or attend to
the fire, we would be free to play in the nearby area, often wading in the stream. I like to search for crayfish and chase after tadpoles that were abundant in the streams.
The process would usually last until near noon. Before leaving for home, we would be careful to put the fire out, rinse the
tubs, and turn them over on the wash-bench. Not all families
owned a wash bench. Occasionally, newcomers to the village
would ask permission to use out wash-bench and permission
was always given.
Yes, there was water at our house! Each house had one spigot
provided on the back porch; there was no inside water. The
water that was provided had so much iron mineral in it that it
could not be used to wash white bed sheets, etc. White cloth
would be yellow after a few washings. The iron would also cause
glassware to turn yellow. Water from the ditch did not do that.
In later times, my dad built a filtering system by our back porch
to filter the iron from the water. It worked!
Dad liked wash-days, the same as I, but for different reasons.
Before leaving for the wash-place, Mama would place a large
pot, filled with lima beans, on the stove and started them to simmering. Seasoned with a large piece of fatback meat, they would
cook all the while we were at the ditch. Dad came home from
the mill each day at noon for a quick meal. The beans would be
cooked tender. Dad called them “wash-day lima beans.” For as
long as he lived, he referred to Mama’s wash-day lima beans as
his favorite meal. When’s Dad’s lunch break was over, he would
return to the mill to finish his twelve-hour day- no eight-hour
work day in that long ago time!
After leaving, Mama would hang the wet clothes on a long
line to dry in the sun. The next day would be set aside for ironing the clothes - no wash and wear in those early times.
Fortunately, there were not many Sunday clothes that required
ironing.
Dad went to work at 6:00 a.m. and returned at 6:00 p.m. The
old sayi8ng, “A man’s work is from sun to sun, and a woman’s
work is never done!” was true at our house. Long after her
household had retired for the day, Mama could be seen or heard
preparing for the next day. There were clothes to be ironed with
flat irons, heated on the stove or by the fireplace if in winter.
One full day was set aside for scrubbing the rough pine floors,
with a scrub-broom, made with corn-shucks and with harsh lye
water to get them clean and smelling fresh. There was a day for
patching children’s clothing, and times for sewing little dresses,
shirts, and an occasional dress for Mama.
The old Singer sewing machine stood in the narrow hallway.
At night, long after the family had gone to bed, sounds from the
old Singer swinging machine could be heard. Mama’s day
extended into the night, sewing clothes that would soon find
their way into the wagon on the way to wash-day at the ditch.

Town Boy” and “Bruised” are available for purchase at the News

Timing couldn’t be better for new bond bill
By dr. Fred Carter,
Francis Marion University
Special to the News and press
The last time South
Carolina passed a general obligation bond bill to support
infrastructure for higher education, some current students
here at Francis Marion
University had not set foot in
kindergarten.
That’s a long time to go
without state funding for critical infrastructure -- too long
in a state where future success
and growth depends on a better-educated population and
work force.
Fortunately, this long funding drought may be coming to
an end. Thanks to the leadership of Sen. Hugh Leatherman
of Florence, chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee, a
bond bill is now under consideration that would give higher
education in the state a muchneeded lift. The bill has strong
support in the Senate, and
with help from Pee Dee
Legislators like Rep. Phillip
Lowe of Florence and Rep.
Jackie Hayes of Dillon, who
fought so hard for a House version of the bill this Spring,
there is an excellent chance
the bill will be enacted.
The bill would provide
$222 million for the state’s
universities and technical colleges. That’s good news for the
state and good news for the
Pee Dee. All of the region’s
institutions of higher education – Francis Marion
University, FlorenceDarlington Technical College,
Northeastern Technical
College and Williamsburg
Technical College – will benefit
from the bill it if is passed.
The effect of that support
cannot be understated.
Enhanced educational opportunities are essential to continue progress in this region. The
Pee Dee has come a long way
in regards to the education of
its people. But much ground
remains to be covered. We
must make sure our students
have facilities of sufficient size
and sophistication to meet
their needs now and into the
future.
The needs of higher education do not change with the
season. The current bond bill
would be a good idea regardless of any external factors.
But, as it so happens, the timing for the bill is close to per-
fect.
Interest rates are at historic
lows. The financial markets
and their masters are all
expecting them to rise in the
near future. Borrowing money
for large projects – a necessity
for governments so as to more
fairly distribute the burden if
for no other reason – will
never be more efficient than it
is today. Postponing this action
would, ironically, cost taxpayers more.
The bill is also well-timed
with regards to South
Carolina’s existing debt. As
noted, it’s been 14 years since
the state issued a general obligation bond bill. Considerable
debt has been retired during
that time period. The state’s
borrowing capacity, even when
compared to the state’s traditionally conservative standards, is many times the
amount included in the proposed bill.
South Carolina’s prudent
fiscal policies have allowed it
to maintain the nation’s highest bond ratings since the
inception of that coverage
almost 50 years ago. The
state’s AAA rating is the envy
of the nation and a source of
pride. When it comes to borrowing funds to invest in our
citizen’s future, it will be a
source of savings as well.
South Carolina’s high ratings
will mean even lower interest
rates.
And history shows that the
planned indebtedness will not
cause those ratings to be
diminished. Between 1968 and
2001, the state passed 26 separate bond bills, essentially one
every 1.26 years. During that
period of consistent investment in construction, improvement and repair in and of the
state’s physical assets, including higher education campuses
and facilities, the state’s bond
rating never changed. The rating agencies know we are good
stewards.
Passing this bond bill will
continue that tradition. Need
currently matches the timing
of interest rate market in an
exquisitely serendipitous manner. It almost would be irresponsible not to take this step.
So what are we waiting for?
Pass the bond bill.
It’s time.
Dr. Fred Carter is President
of Francis Marion University.

ing the most critical community challenges. As Executive
Director, I have had the pleasure and good fortune to work
alongside some inspiringly
charitable donors, amazingly
dedicated staff and incredibly
resourceful nonprofit leaders,
all of whom have had big, bold
ideas about making the Pee
Dee a better place to live.
Today, I want to share one
of those ideas: Big Give Pee
Dee.
On May 5th, the Pee Dee
will participate in what will
likely be the largest giving
event in history. Along with
donors from every neighborhood in the region, we will
join communities across the
country in a national day of
local giving to raise millions of
dollars for our communities—
all in 24 hours.
People often think that philanthropy is for the Bill Gates
and Warren Buffets of the
world. But here’s the truth:
Nearly everyone can be a philanthropist. During Give Big
Pee Dee, small and large gifts
will combine for big impact.
We envision a single day
where every individual is
inspired to contribute to the
well-being of their local community, and we need your help
to make this vision a reality.
In 2014, Give Local
America’s first annual event
resulted in more than $53 million being donated to local
communities in just 24 hours.
On May 5, 2015, the campaign
is aiming to make history for a
second time and double
fundraising to more than $100
million with the help of our
community. With donations
being magnified by incentive
funds, this is the day to make a
difference. Your donations can
actually give your favorite nonprofits a double boost by making them eligible for monetary
prizes; one prize will be given
each hour throughout giving
day.
Big Give Pee Dee is a virtual
event with a personal touch.
Our giving website provides a
trusted platform for donors to
fund proven organizations
across their local communities.
Beginning at midnight on May
5th, donations can be made
online at www.biggivepeedee.org. You can also
watch the leaderboard there
throughout the event to track
the donation progress of your
favorite nonprofits.
Community foundation
staff members are available to
answer any questions you may
have, now or on May 5th.
We’re planning an in-person
event to celebrate the occasion, and we’re inviting everyone in the community to come
for refreshments and fun. We’ll
be at our offices at 154 W.
Evans Street downtown
Florence. If you need help
making your donation, we will
have computers set up and a
volunteer to assist you. Some
participating nonprofits are
playing host to giving day
events of their own, as well.
We look forward to seeing
you and celebrating the work
of our community partners in
the Pee Dee and across the
country.

The original family restaurant, Carolina Lunch, was
started by Gus Demetrious in
the late 1930’s the rear of a
tobacco warehouse. It was legendary until the warehouse
burned in the early 1990s. The
family moved the operation to
the vacant Dairy Bar, which
Demetrious opened in 1958,
but closed in the 1970s.
“Nicky was everybody’s
friend,” said Howard. “He
came back from the military
and started working at the
family restaurant, Carolina
Lunch. People loved him. He
was involved with people of all
ages; he was a social person.
Loved to go to parties, and
loved to play tennis.”
Some of his mentors were
Bill Harper, and principal Bill
Cain. He played with Keith
Williamson, Edwin Dargan,
and Tim Dargan- always planning a match.
He kept in shape with his
passion, tennis, and his other
passion, cycling.
“What really impressed me
about him was that he would
ride his bicycle everywhere,”
recalled Howard. “I’d see him
way past Mechanicsville and
way down riding his bicycle,
staying in shape. He was dedicated to that.”
The ladies all loved him as
much as his pals, yet none of

Portrait
Continued from 1A
Francis Marion has been
captured on canvas a number
of times, but it’s still no easy
task. Among other issues is
the fact that no one really
knows what the General
looked like. There was, of
course, no photography while
he was alive, and even the oldest of his portraits post-date
his death.
Artists, from the postColonial period on, have had
to rely on written descriptions. That’s helped, but
they’re limiting, too. The best
is from author Mason Locke
Weems who wrote that one of
Marion’s own men described
the famous Revolutionary
War leader as “ugly, cross,
knock-kneed, hook-nosed…”
Weatherford says the challenge of figuring out what
Marion really looked like
made painting Gen. Francis
Marion more enjoyable.
“I had to use a little bit of
imagination,”
says
Weatherford. “Every artist
does what is known as artistic
licensing to make it their own.
We know he had black hair,
was a French Huguenot, had a
hook nose and was dark complected.”
Weatherford says since not
much else was known, he used
Rembrandt’s painting of
George Washington’s face as a
starting point.
“Portraits are a challenge
and getting the face is the
hardest
part,”
says
Weatherford. “I used it as the

Finding a picture of him
was elusive, he just didn’t really like having his photograph
made.
“I just think he was one of
the most well loved people in
this community. Everybody
aid he was great – it was just
the way he was. His Daddy
said one time to me,
‘Everybody loves my Nicky.’ I
would watch him up there
waiting on customers, and
they’d come in and have a conversation with all of them.
People wanted him included
in so many things, because he
just fit. You would have to
have really known him to
appreciate that. We all know
people who are popular, but
everybody liked him- I mean
everyone! It was, and is, rare.”
Nicky died at the age of 60
with cancer; there is some
speculation that he may have
been exposed to Agent Orange
during his time in Viet Nam.
Before his illness, he joined
many of his St. John’s High
School friends on their annual
beach weekend in April in
Ocean Drive.
Many recall the funny
pranks he and his long-time
friend writer Dwight Dana
pulled on one another through
the years, that Dana recalled
during his last tribute to his
friend after his death.
“The story goes that Dwight
knew Nicky always left his
keys in his car, so one night he
moved it when he was eating
at Joe’s Grill,” said Howard.
“And it took a long time for
Nicky to find the car. He finally got him back, though,”
laughed Howard. “He got
someone to call and wake up
Dwight after a long night of
partying, calling him at 6
o’clock in the morning by saying, ‘Hurry, Pate Elementary
School is on fire!’”
Howard laughed. “Knowing
that Dwight would be fast
asleep, Nicky must have loved
that! He was always at the
restaurant getting the grits
ready for the breakfast crowd
by 4:30 every morning not
matter how late he’d gotten in
the night before.”
The Dairy Bar crowd still
fondly remembers Nicky, and
his father.
“There are still people that
come out of their way to get a
hot dog from Dairy Bar,” said
Howard. “They still use
Nicky’s Daddy’s recipe for
chili- nobody knows the secret
recipe.
Gus Demetrious
passed it down, and Charlie
won’t tell you what it is. We’ve
had people ask him.”
The scholarships will be
given to a member of the FMU
men or women’s tennis team
first preference that they are
from the Pee Dee region of
South Carolina. Once the
scholarship is endowmed at
$25,000, the scholarships will
be given out based on earnings, usually between $800 to

model to show command,
respect and things like that.”
Weatherford was bitten by
the history bug early in his
academic career, perhaps as
early as the fourth grade.
Later, while attending The
Byrnes School, Weatherford
recalls being “forced” to go to
the school library.
“So I would read history
books,” says Weatherford.
“But, it wasn’t until college
that I really began to appreciate history, mainly because of
the professors.”
Weatherford says that two
FMU professors in particular,
Kennedy and Dr. William K.
Bolt, fortified his love for history through classes like
Jacksonian Democracy and the
History of the British Empire.
Likewise, Dr. Steven Gately, Dr.
Samuel Howell and others
were there to fuel his artistic
desires. Weatherford took Art
History (Nineteenth Century
Art), Intro to Painting, Figure
Drawing and Basic Drawing.
That augmented his natural
talents. So, when Kennedy and
Phi Alpha Theta, the History
Honors Society commissioned
the painting, Weatherford was
ready.
Weatherford says he really
enjoyed working on the
Marion project. It was a pleasing way for him to honor a
university that has given so
much to him. Francis Marion
was always his school of
choice.
“I love the locale… of the
school and it seems the professors care more than any
university I can think of,” says
Weatherford.
Weatherford will graduate
in May. He plans to attend
graduate school.
Weatherford is currently
working as an intern with
Lynches Lake Historical Society
in Lake City.

of
Second
Ordinance 15-12 was carried
over until May. This measure
pertains to a FILOT (Fee In
Lieu of Taxes) proposal for
Sonoco to locate and build a
research and development
facility in Darlington County,
a project that could bring 10
new jobs and an investment of
$11.8 million.
Council approved a request
to investigate hiring a county
grants administrator, a position dedicated to helping
Darlington County land more
state and federal funding and
handling the sometimes
daunting paperwork involved
in completing grant projects.
“Given the workload that's
involved with grant administration... it can be very cumbersome,” said Arrington. “It
is a need for Darlington
County... we don't have anybody on the forefront with
USDA, federal agencies, CDBG
– we don't have it, and it's
strongly recommended, especially for lower income areas
that need funds from the
state.”
Council
member
Le
Flowers asked how the position would be funded, and
Arrington replied that creating a grants administrator
position is entirely contingent
on finding adequate money in
the budget. Council member
Wilhelmina Johnson questioned the minimum necessary qualifications for such a
position, and Arrington
explained that staff would survey other counties with similar positions when drafting a
job description.
In other matters, council
approved a request to waive
fees for plan review and building permits for up to two houses per year for Habitat for

“Since 1996, we've worked
to build affordable, decent

1936, the son
of the late
C h a r l e s
Albert
and
Mary Susan
Thornton Hand and was also

Sue Sly, and son-in-law, Robert
Reardon. He graduated from
Balboa High School in the
Panama Canal Zone and later
served in the US Army as well
as the Reserves. Charles graduated from the Georgia

Of the five students, only
one has had extensive experience riding a motorcycle,
Sharon Ard of Darlington. “But
I picked up some really bad
habits.”
Wiliam
Strom,
of
Darlington, rode dirt bikes as a
youth. “I haven’t rode since I
was about 18- and I am over 50
years old now,” he said. “I’ve
already learned a lot. I’m glad I
took this.”
Jacqueline Ryan really doesn’t have a lot of experience
around motorcycles; “My kids
are grown, and I want to do
something just for me.” She
plans to purchase a bike after
she takes the course.
Ayjuana Greene has ridden
with her husband many times,
and he recently bought her a
bike of her own. “I want to
learn to ride safely,” she said.
“And I don’t want to mess up
that bike!”
The last rider was also the
youngest in the group, Steven
Wynn. “I’ve never even been a
passenger on a motorcycle,” he
said. “I was a little nervous at
first, but the coaches are
great.”
The lead instructor for the
day is Kevin Adams, a fellow
Maine-native (from Biddeford)
and was the inspiration for this
story. We met at the Darlington
Walgreens parking lot after he
commented on my “lobstah
bumpah stickah” on my “cah”,
and struck up a conversation
that led to his telling me about
this class at FDTC holds, that
he is passionate about.
“I’m the Pee Dee Regional
Chapter Coordinator of SC
ABATE- A Brotherhood Against
Totalitarian Enactment. That is
the state’s way of saying it. I use
a Brotherhood Aimed Towards
Education,” says Adams. “The
ABATE group I’m a member of
paid for me to be an instructor.
And I facilitate as much free
information as I can to help out
any fellow rider. We are doing a
rally for Motorcycle Safety

31 years. His hobbies included
photography and building
ships-in-bottles. He was a
long-time member of the
European
Ships-In-Bottles
Association and a Past Vice
President of the American
Ships-In-Bottles Association.
Charles had many articles published about this intricate craft
in ships-in-bottle magazines.
Many of his models are on display in museums and private
collections.
Charles is survived by his
wife of 58 years Clelia Garrison
Hand; daughters, Daun Stuart
and her husband, Robert, of
Summerville, South Carolina
and Clelia Reardon of
Charleston, South Carolina;
and his son, Raven Daemeon

member of SC ABATE as well”.
Adam’s wife is also a rider,
and joined the Motor Maids all
female riding group, the oldest
in the country. “My wife has
been riding for over two years,
and has already racked up
12,000 miles. She says it’s the
most liberating thing she’s ever
done.”
The other instructor, Debbie
Spinks , has been riding a
motorcycle for about five years,
and grew up riding dirt bikes.
The biggest difference she sees
between dirt bikes and motorcycles is obvious. “Because now
you are on the road, you are not
on a knobby tired little dirt
bike, and you are on the road
with 2,000 pound bullets all
around you,” she said. “ Your
only armor is your protective
gear, your helmets. We have
the second worse driving
record in the country, and no
helmet law. You are responsible
for you. We are going to teach
them, give them the skills they
need so that even if someone
else is doing something stupid
they are still protected.”
Debbie shouts out positive
comments to her students, and
finds that humor helps keep
them focused. “Sometimes it’s
just diffusing the situation.
Sometimes the students can
really overthink things, and get
wigged out over stuff, so most
important thing for them is to
relax and they find that everything kind of comes together a
lot easier- like most things in
life.”
Petrach says there are several incentives for the class.
“There’s a handful of benefits- first, you are simply a better rider. And when you are a
better rider, you enjoy it more.
There is an insurance discount
with the SC Code of Law, which
varies by insurer.”
The college provides training bikes as part of the program, which are all 250 cc or
less, including Honda Rebel
250, Nighthawk 250, Yamaha
VStar 250, and Kawasaki 125
Eliminators
“They are forgiving. You
make an error and the bike is
light enough and forgiving
enough that you can recover
That motorcycle there, “ pointing to his motorcycle, “That
weighs 900 lbs. It doesn’t forgive. It just doesn’t.”
The fastest growing segment in motorcycling is
women, and FDTC has had a
large number of women take
the course, and youth.
Minors under the age of 18
years of age must have written
consent from their parents.
“The class is designed to take
an individual who has a desire
to ride a motorcycle and can
ride a bicycle. That tells us that
is you have the physical stamina, and motor skills enough to
balance a single track.”
So its not just balance, it’s
learning a new skill set?
“It’s a combination of motor
skills that require balancing,
easing in and out of the friction
zone, rolling the throttle on
and off, in equilibrium with
each other too much or too little of one or the other undesirable things happen. The interesting thing is riding a motorcycle successfully is only 10 –
20% about the motor skills
part. The other 80 – 90% is the
mental processing part and
that is where we teach them,
‘Pay attention’. You can’t be
talking on your cell phone and
be riding a motorcycle at the
same time. You need to be
extremely aware of your environment at all times. That’s the
harder part of riding a motorcycle safely. And some of the
exercises particularly in Level II
are actually designed to create
situations where you have to
look out for each other.”
He stresses that riders learn
to “ride their own ride,” not follow along at the speed of a
more experienced rider.
“These are the handful of
basic techniques that you need
to have a grasp of on which to
build to get enough experience
to become a decent rider,” he
continues. “Being able to navigate changes of direction you

Keeping the Faith
To Die Trying
A religious leader once
asked Jesus a question. “If
loving God and loving my
neighbor is all that religion
requires, then tell me, who is
my
neighbor?”
Jesus
answered with a parable, a
parable that is one of his most
well known stories: The
Parable
of
the
Good
Samaritan.
This story turns up everywhere in our culture, even in
places where people do not
know what a Samaritan is or
that it was Jesus who first told
the story. With such familiarity, we typically think of the
of
the
Good
Parable
Samaritan as a story about
being a good neighbor. Yet,
this is not Jesus’ point at all.
Jesus does not even attempt to
define the word “neighbor,”
though that is what the religious questioner wanted.
Jesus takes another course
altogether.
He
defines,
instead, what it means to “love
your neighbor.” He speaks of a
love that involves itself in
unexpected, revolutionary,
boundary-breaking ways. Of
course, the only way to
explain such a love as this is
with a story:
Paul Rusesabagina is the
former hotel manager who
inspired the movie Hotel
Rwanda. Beginning in April of
1994 (has it really been more
than two decades?), over the
course of a hundred days, an
estimated
one
million
Rwandans were killed after
extremists in the majority
Hutu population turned on
the Tutsi minority.
Fifteen percent of the population was annihilated. For
perspective, that would be the
percentage equivalent of a
genocide wiping out nearly
fifty million Americans, the
total combined population of
the greater Southeastern
United States: Alabama,
Georgia, Florida, Mississippi,
South Carolina and Tennessee
– every human being living in
those states, gone in three
months.
Hotel Rwanda focuses on
the seventy-six days in which
Mr. Rusesabagina transformed the luxury hotel over
which he was responsible, into
a refuge for the terrified. On
the first day of violence, twenty-six people came to Paul’s
home for shelter. They knew
he was a person of influence
with high connections and
that he could help them. That
is why they came, of course,
but they also knew he was a
person of compassion.
They bet their lives on him,
and it was a bet that paid off.
At the end of that three month
massacre, Paul Rusesabagina
had saved 1,268 people in his
hotel. Somehow, Paul kept
corn and beans in the kitchen;
he rationed the water in the
pool for drinking when militia
cut the utilities; and he took all
the room numbers off the
doors and burned the registration records, so the roving
bands of machete-welding
killers would not know the
identities of those under his
protection.
At one point, Paul and his
family were given the opportunity to leave Rwanda. He
packed his bags to depart. It
was then the residents of his
hotel came to him and begged
him to stay. “Paul,” they said,
“we know you are going to be
leaving this place tomorrow.
But please, if you are really
leaving, tell us, because we
will go to the roof of the hotel
and jump. A better death
would be to jump and die
immediately.”
Paul said, “By that afternoon I had made the toughest
decision of my life. I said to
myself, ‘If you leave, and these
people are killed, you will
never be a free man. You will
be a prisoner of your own conscience.’ I then decided to
remain behind…and if I was
to die, I would die helping my
neighbor.”
So, who is your neighbor?
That question is incidental,
really, as anyone you meet
along life’s way fits the definition. “Will you love your
neighbor?” - that is the primary question, and one we
have the opportunity to
answer daily.
Will we be called upon to
love with the fearsome intensity of Paul Rusesabagina? It’s
not likely, but I hope that
when the time comes for us to
leave this world, we die trying;
we leave knowing we have
helped and loved our neighbors. This is so much more
than a story. It’s the way we
save and heal the world.

Falcons spoil Lamar’s senior night, sweep Silver Foxes for the season
By Drake Horton
Contributing Writer
After having its own senior
night spoiled the previous
Monday,
the
Darlington
Falcons did a little spoiling of
its own on Monday, April 20,
beating the Lamar Silver Foxes
4-0 in Lamar on its senior
night.
The win was Darlington’s
second of the year over the
Silver Foxes, completing the
season sweep over Lamar and
while on paper the matchup
may have seemed somewhat of
mismatch, that was far from
the truth.
This game ended up being
just as close as the first time
when these two met back up on
March 11th in Darlington with
the Falcons winning that contest 5-4.
For six complete innings this
game was a thing of beauty
from the pitcher’s mound with
Lamar’s Collin Jordan and
Darlington’s Eric Dubose going
pitch for pitch as the Falcons
only held a slim 1-0 lead.
It was in the top of the seventh that Darlington found
some success, scoring three
runs, giving reliever Bryant
Huggins all the run support he
needed to seal the deal for the
Falcons over Lamar.
But while Darlington was
able to shut Lamar out on the
scoreboard that did not mean
the Silver Foxes did not have
any opportunities to change
the complexion of the game.
The first major opportunity
for Lamar came in the bottom
of the fourth inning with the
Falcons clinging to their 1-0
lead. The Silver Foxes loaded
the bases with just one out
before Dubose settled down,
striking out the next two batters, getting out of the jam.
“Eric kept us in the game,”
Darlington baseball head coach
Billy Sylvester said on Dubose’s
performance. “Eric threw the
ball good. He was on three days
rest after throwing three or
four (innings) at Lakewood the
other night. He came in, did
well,
and
then
Huggy
(Huggins) came in and did
good.”
Lamar’s scoring opportunities did not end there, however.
After getting a double by
Rashard Coleman to lead off
the bottom of the sixth inning,
Darlington decided to change
pitchers, bringing in Huggins,
who finished the duration of
the game.
“Offensively, it just doesn’t
seem like we really have anybody that wants to be up there
in a big situation right now,”
Lamar baseball head coach
Adam Windham said on his
team’s inability to score with
runners in scoring position.
“It’s like we rather walk or let
somebody else try to do it
instead of getting it done ourselves. So right now we are
just struggling with being
aggressive when we have a situation when we have to get
runners in.”
After moving Coleman over
with a sacrifice bunt by Audy
Tedder, Lamar rolled the dice,
attempting a suicide squeeze
with Luke Amerson at the
plate, hoping to tie the game
up a one. Unfortunately for
the Silver Foxes that plan
failed as the attempted bunt
was missed leaving Coleman
hung out to dry at home.
Those failed attempts finally turned into opportunities
for Darlington as the Falcons
scored three runs in the top of
the seventh off of reliever
Daniel Galloway, sucking any
life that was still in the Silver
Foxes completely out.
Darlington’s first came in
the second inning when
Taylor Spangler, who had
walked, stole second and
advanced to third on a balk
ended up scoring on an infield
single by Collin Bonnoitt.

“I haven’t been batting lately and I was just looking for a
fastball to come in and he
(Jordan) came in and I pulled
it and it found a hole,”
Bonnoitt, who went 2-3 with a
RBI, said on his second inning
at bat.
Following the second
inning, the Falcons offense
went stagnant for the next
four innings as Jordan kept
the Darlington hitters off balance at the plate. It was not
until the seventh inning,
when back to back throwing
errors by Lamar, left two runners on for Ladson Carter,
who hit a two RBI double scor-
ing both runners.
“I was just looking for a
pitch to go backside with,”
Carter said, discussing his at
bat in the seventh inning. “I
know I’ve been trying to pull it
(baseball) and I decide to wait
back and spray one backside.”
The Falcons other run of the
inning came when Cayde
Weatherford hit a RBI single up
the middle.
Huggins struck out two of
the three Lamar hitters he
faced in the bottom of the seventh , sealing the deal and
earning the save as Dubose
picked up the win.
Hartsville scores nine runs in final three innings to beat Darlington
By Drake Horton
Contributing Writer
Sometimes it just takes one
moment to decide a game and
the Darlington Falcons against
the Hartsville Red Foxes baseball game this past Friday had
that exact moment.
Following Hartsville’s tworun fourth inning, Darlington
came into the fifth and looked
as if it could not only tie the
game, but take the lead after
the Falcons loaded the bases
with no outs.
That was not to be the case.
Instead, Hartsville baseball
head coach Tony Gainey went
out to the mound to talk to
starting
pitcher
Toby
Burchfield following the walk
of Melquan Depugh that
loaded bases, and whatever
Gainey said worked because
Burchfield struck out the next
batters and got the final to fly
out to center field to end the
inning
“I went out asked him if he
was ok and he said ‘I’m fine’
and I said well these are those
moments when you have to
work out if we are going to be
successful so let’s do it,” Gainey
Shortstop Garrett Revelle gets ready for the throw down to second.
PHOTO BY DRAKE HORTON
said, referencing to what he
said to Burchfield and the rest
of the team during the fifth
inning.
To add insult to injury, after
loading the bases with no outs
Darlington had its two, three
and four hitters which are
Garrett Revell, Justin Mack and
Ladson Carter, making what
Burchfield did even more
impressive.
“We swung at bad pitches
and
took
good
ones,”
Darlington baseball head coach
Billy Sylvester said on his
team’s inability to score in the
fifth. “In that situation we have

to be more aggressive and we
can’t take fastballs down the
heart (of the plate) and we
can’t take bad swings at those
pitches.”
And that was that moment.
That was that moment that in
all ways, shapes, and forms
ended the Falcons chance of
upsetting the Red Foxes on
their own field.
Entering
the
game,
Hartsville had not lost a region
game and by most have been
seen as the favorite to win 3A
state
championship.
For
Darlington, who was playing its
last regular season game of the
season, it was an opportunity
to gain momentum as the playoffs are set to begin this week.
With nothing to lose as the
third spot in the region was
already secured and everything
to gain Darlington brought its
“A” game into Kelleytown as
starting
pitcher
Bryant
Huggins took the mound for
the Falcons.
“Hats off to that kid
(Huggins),” Gainey said on
Huggins pitching performance
against his team. “He did really
well; he really located his pitches tonight, kept us off balance.

He did really well; I was
impressed with the Huggins
kid.”
For three innings Huggins
shut down a Hartsville offense
that has been pretty explosive
for most of the season, but as
the pitch count began to creep
up and fatigue began to set in,
the Red Fox offense found their
opportunity.
“We learned in the SBC that
when you face a really good
pitcher you have to work his
count,” Gainey said on his
team’s approach at the plate
against Huggins. “I just got
through telling them that they
did a really good job of not
going out and swinging at
everything.”
It came in the bottom of the
fourth
inning
when
Burchfield, with two outs,
helped his own cause reaching
and keeping the inning alive.
Cal
Brunson
followed
Burchfield by picking a walk
and giving Hartsville two men
on with two outs.
Those two hitters reaching
seemed like it created a chain
reaction of events as Huggins
threw a wild pitch to Matt
Lynch, the next hitter, allow-
ing both runners to advance to
scoring position before Lynch,
himself, delivered with the
two-RBI single to center field.
It was as if scoring those
two runs awoke the Red Fox
offense, as the bottom of the
fifth was almost a mirror
image of the fourth.
After getting the first two
outs of the inning, Hartsville’s
Grant Thompson walked and
Austin Morris singled giving
the Red Foxes two runners on
with two outs. That set up a
double steal which put both
runners in scoring position.
Chandler Melton followed
with a two-RBI double just out
of the reach of Jaret Boswell’s

the 84-year-old Hayes suffered an intestinal obstruction,
it looked like he may not get to see his grandson graduate
from The Citadel 65 years after he did.
With his life hanging in the balance, Hayes was rushed
to the Emergency Department at Carolina Pines Regional
Medical Center. His age and other medical complications
notwithstanding, the medical team knew his only chance
was surgery to relieve the obstruction.
Dr. Tom Mincheff, general surgeon, expertly performed
the procedure. Had he not acted quickly and decisively,
Ray Hayes would not be with us today. But happily he
is, and he remains committed to participating in the
presentation of Russell’s diploma from The Citadel.
Pre and post-operative care from Dr. Rudolph Jokl and
Dr. Robert Elder, along with the ongoing dedication of
Dr. Mincheff, kept the dream alive. As Rebecca Watkins,
the daughter of Ray and mother of Russell, put it:
“The personal care and love shown to us was what
made the difference. We are all blessed to have the skill
and caring of the healthcare team at Carolina Pines.”

Church of the Week: First Baptist Church, Hartsville
As soon as the town of
Hartsville began to form, so did a
Baptist church. Early in 1850
John Lide Hart bought 491 acres
of land, previously owned by his
father Thomas Hart, from his
brother-in-law Thomas Lide.
John Hart was very active in the
Baptist denomination at Gum
Branch Baptist Church and
Providence Baptist Church. One
of his first good deeds, upon
punching this land, was to
donate some of it for the purpose
of building a Baptist church.
On November 16, 1850
Hartsville Baptist Church, the
first church in the soon-to-becommunity of Hartsville, was
formed. The first building was
built to serve to citizens in 1851;
Rev. J. W. Burn served as the pastor, until his death in 1880. Dr.
W. S. Dorset came to Hartsville in
1903 as the next pastor of
Hartsville Baptist, and served
until 1907. It was during this
period that Rev. Dorset encouraged the congregation to change
their name to First Baptist
Church, and to look to future
growth with a new building.
When Dr. E. V. Baldy of
Georgia arrived at the church in
1907, he found a growing community and a building under
construction with wall about
three feet high. There was a
small problem, however; the
congregation had committed to
an enormous debt of $27,000 to
be able to build this solid masonry building. In 1907, this was an
unheard of amount of money for
a church building measuring 52
feet wide by 85 feet deep, especially in such a small community.
So, Dr. Baldy’s first task was to
set out to raise the funds and support to pay for this building,
which he did with ease and very
little problem. He stayed in
Hartsville for 16 years serving his
community and as pastor of First
Baptist.
On a Sunday in February
1908, possibly the 23rd, it
seemed like all of Hartsville
gathered for the opening service
of the new edifice that still sits
on top of the hill overlooking the
town. No one was more proud of
the new elegant Greek Revival
building than Mrs. Jane Lide
Coker Wilson, because her son,
Charles Coker Wilson, was the
architect of her home town
church building. Charles Coker
Wilson had recently returned to
Columbia, South Carolina to
practice architecture; when his
mother insisted that he return to
his birthplace of Hartsville to
design her church, he could not
turn her down.
Charles Coker Wilson proved
to be a very prolific architect of
many well-known buildings that
are presently listed on the
National Register of Historic
Places in South Carolina.
Buildings that can be seen today
include The South Carolina
State Capital, many local residences, and most of the buildings on Coker College campus
are only a sample of Wilson’s
additions to South Carolina’s
architectural landscape- from
the coast to the upstate. Coker
also trained many young startup architects to follow his lead
with stately, imposing, and quality buildings that stand the test
of time as First Baptist has.
The many generations of
Hartsvillians that have attended
First Baptist have been good
stewards of their buildings and
property. As the congregation
grew, a new larger sanctuary
was built in 1964, but the old
1908 building was not forgotten.
As with most church congregation, conversations and even
debates have been held as to
what to do with their aging
buildings; fortunately, historical
minded members have prevailed
and the heritage rich buildings
have been saved on this campus
for other to enjoy. In 2003,
Wilson’s old sanctuary was completely renovated and is presently used as a chapel on a regular
basis for the glory of God.
Bill Segars has a strong love
and appreciation for history,
having grown up on a farm in
Kelleytown on land that has
been in the family since 1821 .
He uses his 39-year building
career to combine with his love
of history to develop a passion
for historical restoration. Segars
was able to find, photograph
and research more than 700
religious edifices throughout
the state.

The thing about words is that
meanings can twist just like a snake
By Jimmie Epling
Director
Darlington County Library System
What has been at the core of
libraries for millennia? Your
first thought was probably
books. When people are asked
today what comes to mind
when they hear the word
“library,” their first response is
almost always “books” (OCLC.
2010 Perception of Libraries).
A good answer because it recognizes what libraries were
founded upon, but the answer
needs a bit more refining. You
were on the right track, but the
paper book is just the medium,
just like the scrolls of papyrus
or vellum and the tablets of
clay or stone before it, for what
is at the library’s core, the written word. The Darlington
County Library System, like its
predecessors, was built on the
written word. What has sometimes been a challenge for
readers is determining the
meaning of a written word
because it can, over time, twist
and turn on you just like a
snake, always changing. With
the advent of audio and visual
recording in the early 1900s,
that challenge has become
even greater.
You can Google a word to
discover a short definition.
Sometimes that is far from
enough to help you understand
a word’s meaning when used.
The Library can help you divine
the meaning of any word in the
context of its usage through the
resources we have available in
print and online through the
DISCUS reference database,
available 24/7. We have dictionaries of all types and on a
variety of specific topics to find
every meaning of a word.
It is said that English is
among the most difficult languages to learn. It does not
have the largest number of
native speakers by far when
compared Chinese speakers
(527 million vs. 1.39 billion),
but it is the world's most commonly studied language. More
people learn English (1.5 billion) than French, Spanish,
Italian, Japanese, German and
Chinese combined. English is
spoken in 101 counties. The
next closest are Arabic (60
countries) and French (51
countries). The reason for their
widespread usage is rooted in
the social, economic, and military history of the countries in
which they were born. There
are dozens of different dictionaries for the English language.
We have dictionaries geared for
children, college students,
adults, and those learning
English. Those struggling with
euphemisms, jargon, slang
(including hacker slang), foreign terms, cultural literacy, or
misinformation will find help
through us. Even though we in
“the States” speak the same
language as our “mother country”, Britain, we still need the
book, “Divided by a Common
Language,” to decipher pronunciation and spelling differences, as well as, unique word
meanings. Those in need of a
laugh will find Jeff Foxworthy’s
“Redneck Dictionary” a very
interesting take on the use of
English.
Need a foreign language dictionary to translate the instructions for the hottest gadget you
just received? In this increasingly interconnected world, we
have it on hand or can get it!
Two thirds of the world’s population speaks at least one of the
twelve most used languages,
Chinese, Hindi-Urdu, English,
Arabic, Spanish, Russian,
Bengali, Portuguese, German,
Japanese, French, and Italian.
The Library has dictionaries for
these, as well as other languages, such as Hebrew and
the “dead” language of Latin.
We even have the “Seven
Language Dictionary” where
you can find the English,
French, German, Hebrew,
Italian, Portuguese, Russian,
and Spanish version of a word
all in one place. If you would
like to learn another language,
we have audio books to help
you learn Chinese, French,
German,
Japanese,
and
Spanish. You can also go to our
website at www.darlingtonlib.org to find 65 different languages you can learn online
through Mango Languages.
The Library has dictionaries
on specific topics. There is
Blacks’
Law
Dictionary.
Biblical scholars will find dictionaries designed just for their
use. There are several medical
dictionaries in our collection so
you can look up a term your
doctor used. Those looking for
a dictionary to help understand
sign
language,
Judaism,
rhyming, firearms, snakes, pottery porcelain, symbols, music,
math, the supernatural, shorthand, biology, literary terms,
chemistry, and more will find it
at the Library.
For nearly two years now,
regular visitors to the Library’s
homepage (www.darlingtonlib.org) and friends of the system wide Facebook page,
Darlington County Library
System, have discovered a new
“Word of the Week” each week.
It was inspired by the Hartsville
Branch staff’s “Word of the
Day,” which can be found in the
Library and on its own separate
Facebook page. Each week, I
have searched for a word that
you might not know or possibly
be familiar with its latest meaning. When choosing a word to
post, I keep in mind what the
late author Terry Pratchett
wrote about elves in a passage
of “Lords and Ladies.”
Elves are wonderful. They
provoke wonder.
Elves are marvelous. They
cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They
project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They
weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget
terror.
The thing about words is
that meanings can twist just
like a snake, and if you want to
find snakes look for them
behind words that have
changed their meaning.
No one ever said elves are
nice. Elves are bad.
It can also describe words, at
least until you get to the end.
Of course we all know he was
wrong about elves. Not all elves
are bad as J.R.R. Tolkien wrote
in his “Lord of the Rings trilogy,
and to which Santa can also
attest. So not all words are bad,
but they can be very interesting!
Those who follow it from
week to week have probably
noted some trends in my selections. The meanings of words
can twist and change, especially in the context of their use.
Each week’s new word is for me
an opportunity to reflect on a
word and its place in the world
today.
My choice of words included
quite a few that in some way
describe the confusion or misdirection a person might be
subject to in life. The Library is
always ready to help you cut
through the argot, bafflegab,
ballyhoo, bloviating, buzzwords,
discombobulation,
flummoxing, foofaraw, gobbledygook,
malarkey,
newspeak, optics, or shenanigans of those around you.
For those interested in
libraries, books, and literature,
I have posted words like abibliophobia, epigram, epistolize,
genealogy, lethologica, lexpionage, logline, logomachy, and
voculation.
I’ve also posted words related to pop culture, e-commerce,
and technology. Do you know
the meaning of cosplay, couplie, crowdfunding, cryptocurrency, edutainment, fashionista, freemium, glocalize, hackerspace, meme, mesofact, paywall, petfie, science, showrooming, staycation, steampunk, textspeak, and Whovian?
Library System can help you
grapple with any word you
encounter through dictionaries
and exclusive reference databases. Regardless of whether a
word’s meaning has twisted
over time, we can help you
understand its meaning in the
context of its use.
[Editor’s note: we post a word
of the week in our paper on our
“opinon page”, and, like Jimmie,
we also enjoy choosing it for
you!]

The four-year-old child
development program for the
Darlington County School
District is a district and statefunded program for children in
Darlington County who will be
four-years-old on or before
September 1, 2015. In August
2013, Darlington County was
awarded funds to initiate fullday
Child
Development
Education Pilot Program
(CDEPP) classrooms. Seven
full-day, 4K classrooms were
established across geographical areas of the county.
In June 2014, additional
funds made it possible to add
seven more full-day classrooms. These classrooms will
replace half-day programs
already in existence in
Hartsville and Darlington. This
funding resulted from the
CDEPP project being integrated
into the Read to Succeed
Legislation that was signed into
law by Governor, Nikki Haley
on June 11, 2014.
Cain Elementary School,
Pate Elementary School, St.
John's Elementary School,
Lamar Elementary School,
Rosenwald Elementary/Middle
School,
Southside
Early
Childhood
Center,
and
Washington Street Elementary
School now offer full-day CDEP
classrooms. The acronym for
this model has now been
renamed
CDEP
(Child
Development
Education
Program), since the “Pilot” has
ended.

The South Carolina Rabies Control Act requires that all dogs and cats have a current rabies vaccination.
For the majority of vaccines, the minimum age to vaccinate puppies and kittens is three (3) months of age.
Upon vaccination, the pet should wear the serially numbered rabies tag, provided by the veterinarian,
around its neck. The licensed veterinarian will also provide a certificate of vaccination.
