Firefighters tackle vehicle arson course

How much time does it take
for a car to burn to the ground?
And how can investigators
examine the charred remains
of a vehicle and find the fire's
point of origin and – more
importantly – determine if the
fire was intentionally set?
These questions were the focus
of a three-day training exercise
hosted last week at the
Darlington Fire Department's
training center on Broad Street.
Agents from South Carolina
Law Enforcement Division
(SLED) joined firefighters, fire
marshals and investigators
from our area, and even some
fire service professionals from
as far away as Oklahoma and
Canada for this course taught
by Steve Riggs of the
Indianapolis-based
Public
Agency Training Council.
Riggs, a national instructor
and director of the Fire Science
One of the members of the Darlington Fire Department Explorers
assists with the training.
Training Institute, has been in
the fire service for forty years,
with twenty years of national
instructor
experience.
Darlington Fire Chief Pat
Cavanaugh says that having a
teacher of Riggs' reputation
and experience instruct our
local departments could yield
great benefits in scene evaluation, arson investigation, and
prosecution.
“We covered how to document arson fires, where to look
when we come upon the vehicle to see if there's any chance
that it is arson, how to properly
prepare yourself for a court
case, and how to deal with
insurance companies when the
adjustor
arrives,”
says
Cavanaugh.
Following a day of classroom instruction, second day
training moved outdoors
where four vehicles were set
alight so students could
observe how fire behaves
inside a vehicle, how it shifts
and consumes various components in diverse ways depending on where the fire began and
whether it was assisted by
incendiaries or accelerants.
“We're looking for the different patterns, the different ways
a fire can originate in different
areas of the car and move to
other areas, how to look at
those patterns and read them
to understand how that fire
moves through the different
compartments,” said Riggs.

Tharp new
Darlington
Raceway
president
By Samantha Lyles
Staff Writer
slyles@newsandpress.net
Darlington
Raceway
announced June 29 that The
Track Too Tough to Tame has a
new boss. Kerry Tharp takes the
wheel as track president effective July 18, succeeding current
president Chip Wile who
announced in April that he
would leave Darlington to head
up the Daytona International
Speedway.
Tharp, a native of Louisville,
Kentucky, previously worked as
Senior Director of Racing
Communications for NASCAR.
He is also familiar to sports fans
for his 20-year stint as Associate
Athletic Director for Media
Relations at the University of
South Carolina from 1985 to
2005.
“It's a humbling experience
to become the president of
Darlington Raceway,” Tharp
said at a press conference held
last week. “It's quite an honor to
be at this facility which I consider to be one of the most iconic
sports facilities in the country.”
Asked how he would continue building on the track's resurgence in recent years – including the return of the Bojangles'
Southern 500 to Labor Day
weekend – Tharp said he hoped
to maintain and grow the work
done by Wile and track personnel.
“Chip has done an outstanding job here. In the two-plus
years he's been in Darlington,
(he has) almost reinvented the
racetrack with the throwback
theme on Labor Day weekend.
It has the entire sport excited,”
said Tharp. “We just want to
build upon that, to elevate
Darlington as one of the iconic
sports facilities in the country,
and make that throwback
weekend a destination for not
just NASCAR fans but sports
fans.”

Darlington High JAG students at Darlington ReStore for 2nd year
By Jana E. Pye
Editor
editor@newsandpress.net
For the second summer in
a row, the Darlington County
Habitat for Humanity ReStore
were helped by students from
the JAG program from
Darlington High School.
“I don’t know what we
would have done without
these girls this June,” said
ReStore
manager
Ben
Schmeltz. “We had more
donations than ever, and
without their hard work we
would never have gotten so
much done!”
Noreen Wingate, JAG
Coordinator at Darlington
High School, shared that the
program started in 20052006 school year. JAG, “Jobs
for America’s Graduates,” is a
school-to-career transitional
leadership/drop out prevention program that focuses on
helping students achieve academic success, graduate from
high school, and improve
career readiness.
The curriculum focuses on
cultivating skills identified by
businesses as essential to successful
employment.
At
Darlington High School, the
multi year program is made
up from 9th – 12th grade.
For this summer program,
four students worked five
JAG students with Darlington County Habitat for Humanity ReStore manager Ben Schmeltz. Left to right: Ashton Truett, Raven McCall,
Ben Schmeltz, Emily Truett, and Cristina Ramirez
days a week during the month
of June, three in the morning
10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and one in
the afternoons from 1 p.m. to
5 p.m. The students gain work
experience, which helps to
create a resume.
After the completion of
assigned weeks, the students
complete a resume, and
receive payment.
Raven McCall, Cristina
Ramirez, Emily Truett, and
Ashton Truett were selected
for the project, and were busily working on their last week
when interviewed by the
News & Press. During the previous academic year, the girls
shared that JAG helped with
many projects at the school,
including the Flood Relief,
Old People’s Christmas, Clean
Up Day at DHS, a Domestic
Violence
Walk,
Special
Olympics, and more.
The JAG students receive
credit for the classroom time,
and learn important job and
life skills including public
speaking, how to create a
resume, job interview skills,
dressing appropriately, and
developing maturity and
strong work ethic.
Raven McCall is a recent
graduate of Darlington High
School, and will be attending
Francis Marion University in
the fall to study nursing.
While at the ReStore, she
helped with the clothing, and
running the register.
“My favorite part was
meeting the people,” said
Raven. She attributes the JAG
program for helping her
develop more confidence, and
break her shyness. “When I
first started I was so shy, and
hated to speak in class,” said
Raven. “Now I feel more confident. This will really help
me in college, and in my
future career.”
Cristina Ramirez is a rising
senior, and will be the Vice
President of the community
service of JAG in the fall; she
was historian last year. This
was her first year in JAG, and
this was her first experience
working in retail. Although
she doesn’t really enjoy working in customer service, she
did enjoy working with her
best friends. Her duties were
sorting in the back and helping with create displays and
pricing. She is an artist, and
enjoyed helping with signs. “I
was surprised by what people
donate, I was amazed by
some of it – some items are
really cool.”
Emily Truett has been in
JAG for all her years at
Darlington High School, and
will be a senior this year and
the President of the club. She
worked several years with the
JAG work program and had
another job she acquired on
her own, using skills she
learned with JAG to be successful with her resume and
interview. She helped with
the ReStore last year working
in the back room, but this year
she helped with putting out
clothing and pricing. She is
also an artist, and painted on
the windows and door. “I
think it’s really good to be in
JAG, when I first got in JAG I
was very shy and now it’s easy.
This helps teach skills you
cannot get in other classes.”
Truett says the CVC conference in April will be heavy on
competition for awards. She
assists with recommending
students for the program; the
two classes last year had
about 50 students.
Ashton Truett, Emily’s sister, will be a junior this year
and has been in JAG as a
freshman. She enjoys the cash
register more than other
duties, although she enjoys
all the aspects of retail. “I
have to say, I really like working in air conditioning,” said
Ashton. “I always call this job
first!” She has a bad back due
to a previous car accident, so
lifting is an issue for her,
another reason she would
rather work with customers.
She will be the Treasurer this
year.
The other ladies love being
in the back, enjoying the
treasure hunt of seeing the
donated items first.

The 4th of July:
What’s It to You?
By Bill Shepard
What is the first thing that comes to mind when the word
“freedom” is used? A likely answer would be, “free from dictatorship or tyrant’s rule.” Those of us who have never lived under
those conditions can’t really know what it is like; therefore, we
cannot really appreciate the freedom we enjoy living in a democracy. Even when we read or hear of those adverse conditions, we
cannot fully know what they are like. Someone has said and I
agree that we can only really know the things that we experience.
One of the several definitions given for the word “freedom” is
“liberation from slavery, or restraint from the power of another.”
I suppose that to some degree, any restraint imposed upon us
takes from us a bit of our freedom. By that definition of the
word, total freedom for anyone would be a very rare commodity.
Even in this blessed land of the free, there are many, far too
many, that are living in bondage. Not all are free from want,
hunger, disease, fear, loneliness, and a dozen other that could be
named. These things enslave a person and rob them of the beauty of living in a land of the free. While government can guarantee
our freedom from some things, it is unable to guarantee all.
July 4, 1776 – July 4, 2016. Count the years between the two
dates. It has been a long, long time. Wars, bloodshed, suffering,
and sacrifice were prices paid for the freedom that so many take
for granted. That freedom is more threatened today than at any
time since it was first a reality in my opinion.
When I was a teacher in our public school system, I often
taught a class during summer school. The 4th of July was the
only day of vacation during that period. On announcing to the
class that we would have the day off from school, I would ask the
question, “Why do we celebrate the 4th of July?” Some of the
answers I would get were: “that’s the day we have a picnic,”
“that’s the day we go fishing,” “we have a cookout on that day”
and the answers to my question would continue. “Those are the
ways we celebrate,” I would say, “but why do we celebrate?”
More often, I would not get an answer. I would then explain –
sad, so sad!
Through the more than two centuries since America first won
its freedom on this 4th of July, freedom faces threat as never
before. Little by little, that freedom has been taken by those who
seek to destroy our way of life. It is too bad that most of that
threat is from within!
Every student of history could tell, in some measure, the
meaning of the words the “Emancipation Proclamation.” In 1776,
America won its freedom as a nation. A long and costly war
ended. The enemy without had been defeated, but there were
enemies within. The long battle of slavery was yet to be won.
Eighty-six years after the battle for freedom from without had
been fought and won; the war within was over. Abraham Lincoln
made a declaration that on that first day of January 1863 that all
persons held as slaves in America would be set free. That declaration became known as the Emancipation Proclamation. The
awful period had ended but the ugly stain it left, still remains,
even to this late date.
There have been other wars fought; there are thousands of
white crosses marking the graves where young Americans are
buried, scattered in foreign lands. These young men died in order
that others could live free. Perhaps, more Americans have died
while fighting for the freedom of others than any other nation. No
other nation can outmatch its love for freedom as America.
This writer has enjoyed the freedom we all love and experience and have fought to maintain. I have seen the rise and fall of
nations that have tried to put it out, but failed. Communism,
Fascism, Nazism and others have risen and failed. I have lived
through wars aplenty and have witnessed many changes in our
world. Today, we are locked in a battle with the kind of enemy
we have not faced before, at least in a long time. Our freedom
within is threatened, and the rise of hatred within our borders is
at a risk. The answer to combat that enemy is yet to be found.
Already, the enemy has robbed us of many of our freedoms! The
“Breaking News” over our TV invades our living rooms. Another
mass killing has taken place. There is an uneasy feeling that
stalks each time that happens. We can’t seem to feel safe anymore, even in our schools and churches.
As in times past, the victory for freedom will come. As yet, we
do not know of the price that must be paid. On this 4th of July,
while enjoying your outing, whether picnicking at the park,
swimming or fishing at the lake, or grilling in your back yard,
pause for a moment and give thanks for your freedom to do so!

Another age of discovery is here
By Thomas L. Friedman
Have we been here before? I know — it
feels as if the Internet, virtual reality,
Donald Trump, Facebook, sequencing of
the human genome and machines that
can reason better than people constitute a
change in the pace of change without
precedent. But we’ve actually been
through an extraordinarily rapid transition like this before in history — a transition we can learn a lot from.
Ian Goldin, director of the Oxford
Martin School at Oxford University, and
Chris Kutarna, also of Oxford Martin, have
just published a book — “Age of
Discovery: Navigating the Risks and
Rewards of Our New Renaissance” —
about lessons we can draw from the period 1450 to 1550, known as the Age of
Discovery. It was when the world made a
series of great leaps forward, propelled by
da Vinci, Michelangelo, Copernicus and
Columbus, that produced the Renaissance
and reshaped science, education, manufacturing, communications, politics and
geopolitics.
“Gutenberg’s printing press provided
the trigger,” Goldin told me by email, “by
flipping knowledge production and
exchange from tight scarcity to radical
abundance. Before that, the Catholic
churches monopolized knowledge, with
their handwritten Latin manuscripts
locked up in monasteries. The Gutenberg
press democratized information, and provided the incentive to be literate. Within
50 years, not only had scribes lost their
jobs, but the Catholic Church’s millenniaold monopoly of power had been torn
apart as the printing of Martin Luther’s
sermons ignited a century of religious
wars.”
Meanwhile, Goldin added, Copernicus
upended the prevailing God-given notions
of heaven and earth “by finding that far
from the sun revolving around the Earth,
the Earth rotated around the sun,” and
“voyages of discovery by Columbus, da
Gama and Magellan tore up millennia-old
maps of the ‘known’ world.”
Those were the mother of all disruptions and led to the parallels with today.
“Now, like then, new media have
democratized information exchange,
amplifying the voices of those who feel
they have been injured in the upheaval,”
said Goldin. “Now, like then, public leaders and public institutions have failed to
keep up with rapid change, and popular
trust has been deeply eroded.” Now, like
then, “this is the best moment in history
to be alive” — human health, literacy,
aggregate wealth and education are
flourishing — and “there are more scientists alive today than in all previous generations.”
And, yet many people feel worse off.
Because, as in the Renaissance, key
anchors in people’s lives — like the workplace and community — are being fundamentally dislocated. The pace of technological change is outstripping the average
person’s ability to adapt. Now, like then,
said Goldin, “sizable parts of the population found their skills were no longer
needed, or they lived in places left
behind, so inequality grew.” At the same
time, “new planetary scale systems of
commerce and information exchange led
to immense improvements in choices and
accelerating innovations which made
some people fabulously rich.”
Was there a Donald Trump back then?
“Michelangelo and Machiavelli’s
Florence suffered a shocking popular
power-taking when Girolamo
Savonarola, a mid-level friar from
Ferrara, who lived from 1452 to 1498,
exploded from obscurity in the 1490s to
enthrall Florentines, who felt left behind
economically or culturally, with sermons
that laid blame upon the misguided policies and moral corruption of their leaders,” said Goldin. “He and his zealous
supporters, though a small minority,
swept away the Medici establishment

and seized control of the city’s councils.
“From there, Savonarola launched an
ugly campaign of public purification,
introducing radical laws including
against homosexuality, and attacked
public intellectuals in an act of intimidation that history still remembers as the
Bonfire of the Vanities. Savonarola was
amongst the first to tap into the information revolution of the time, and while
others produced long sermons and treatises, Savonarola disseminated short
pamphlets, in what may be thought of as
the equivalent of political tweets.”
The establishment politicians of the
day, who were low energy, “underestimated the power of that new information
revolution to move beyond scientific and
cultural ideas” to amplify populist voices
challenging authority.
Yikes! How do we blunt that?
“More risk-taking is required when
things change more rapidly, both for
workers who have to change jobs and for
businesses who have to constantly innovate to stay ahead,” Goldin argued.
Government’s job is to strengthen the
safety nets and infrastructure so individuals and companies can be as daring —
in terms of learning, adapting and investing in themselves — as they need to be.
At the same time, when the world gets
this tightly woven, America “needs to be
more, not less, engaged, with the rest of
the world,” because “the threats posed by
climate change, pandemics, cyberattacks
or terror will not be reduced by America
withdrawing.”
Then, as now, walls stopped working.
“Cannons and gunpowder came to
Europe that could penetrate or go over
walls and books could bring ideas
around them,” he said. Then, like now,
walls only made you poorer, dumber and
more insecure.

Firefighters
Continued from 1A
For instance, Riggs noted
that a fire will affect the windshield differently when it originates in the engine compartment, first melting out the bottom of the glass. Conversely, a
fire that begins in the passenger compartment will burn out
the top of the glass first and
leave more glass at the bottom.
“It just helps them to recognize all the pattern's they are
seeing in a post-fire situation,”
Riggs said.
The course also covered
how vehicle fire progressions
have changed as cars, trucks,
and SUVs all shifted from
heavier steel bodies to lighter
materials.
“The
patterns
haven't
changed so much as the speed
at which the fire burns with
the newer, lighter components
in new vehicles,” said Riggs. “A
new car will burn to the
ground in 15 or 16 minutes...
and an older vehicle with heavier construction could take 20
to 25 minutes.”
Does Habitat give houses away?
• No, Habitat for Humanity is not a giveaway program. Habitat’s partner families
buy the houses that Habitat builds and
renovates.
• Habitat makes no profit on the sale.
• In the United States, Habitat homeowners purchase their houses through
affordable monthly mortgage payments.
• In other countries, Habitat also works
with partner organizations to serve even
more families through innovative financing methods.
• Habitat’s homeowners also invest hundreds of hours of their own labor, called
sweat equity, working alongside volunteers and other Habitat homeowners.
Third day training was
mostly hands-on, and the final
exam had trainees pulling
those burned vehicles apart
and collecting observations
and evidence to document
each fire's origination and
cause. Cavanaugh notes that
all of the students passed the
exam and received vehicle
arson training certification –
which will add more points
toward Darlington's already
stellar ISO rating of 3 (a metric of training and preparedness which helps lower local
homeowner insurance premiums).
The four vehicle fires
offered young firefighters in
the DFD's Explorer program a
chance to gear up and extinguish the flames, getting valuable live fire experience.
Hosting the training at DFD's
Broad Street facility also saved
the department a significant
amount of travel costs and
class fees.
“This is one of those classes
it's hard to get in to. Since we
hosted it, we got five free spots
that normally would have cost
us $275 per person, per class,”
How are Habitat’s homeowner
families chosen?
• Families in need of decent, affordable
shelter apply to their local Habitat
organization, called an affiliate.
• Each affiliate’s family selection committee chooses Habitat homeowners for
their local area, based on three criteria:
• The family’s level of need.
• Their willingness to become partners
in the program.
• Their ability to repay the loan through
an affordable payment plan.
• Every affiliate follows a nondiscriminatory policy of family selection.
• Neither race nor religion is a factor in
choosing Habitat’s homeowner families.
says Cavanaugh.
Chief Cavanaugh adds that
DFD wants to host additional
classes – like an incident command and structure fire course
– and eventually expand its

is a tough place to get
around, and if you win at
Darlington, whether it's the
XFINITY Series or the Sprint
Cup Series Southern 500,
that is a big deal for a driver.
And I think it's one of the
crown jewels in our sport.”
“These are exciting times
for Darlington Raceway and
Kerry Tharp is the perfect
person to lead one of the
most historic tracks on the
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
circuit,”
International
Speedway Corp. Executive
Vice President and COO Joie
Chitwood said of the
announcement. “His appreciation of our sport, knowledge
of the industry and passion
for South Carolina are
unmatched. Kerry will do a
great job leading the
Darlington Raceway team
and continuing to build upon
their celebrated throwback
marketing campaign.”
The Tradition Continues
on Labor Day weekend as the
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
Bojangles’ Southern 500® is
set for Sunday, Sept. 4, 2016.

Tharp said he wants to
Darlington
broaden
Raceway's reach through
social media and technology
to bring in more young fans,
to win them over to the exciting sport of stock car racing
and solidify the next generation of NASCAR fans.
He noted that while he
was happy working for
NASCAR in media relations,
he realized that the chance to
lead Darlington Raceway is a
“special opportunity” that
would allow him to remain in
South Carolina – his family's
home for over 30 years – and
build upon relationships he
has established over his
career.
“It was really too good to
be true,” said Tharp.
Asked
what
makes
Darlington so special, Tharp
said, “When Mr. (Harold)
Brasington designed this
track years ago, it's one of the
most unique tracks on the circuit. The drivers love coming
to a track that challenges
them. It's not called 'Too
Tough to Tame' by mistake. It

forming an arson team locally
so that DFD and other county
departments can handle arson
cases instead of outsourcing
them to SLED.

She loves me...she loves me not...she loves me... No need to
ask this Daisy if she loves you- she will! Daisy is just delightful! This 3-year-old tabby is warm and cuddly the sweetest cat
ever. Classically attired in her snazzy golden brown stripes
and highlights, it’s easy to select OUR Daisy as the best in any
bouquet. Stop on by today and see why Daisy is our pick of
the bunch! Female; brown tabby; 3 yrs old
She asks for "precious" little.
This low key, two-tone delight
asks very little from her person.
Super mellow and content to
hang right by your side, she is never pushy in begging for
attention. Having her hip area scratched makes her SO very
happy and makes her break out into a huge grin. Excellent
with other dogs, friendly and softly affectionate. 3-5 yrs old;
46 lbs; female. Note: No cats for me please!

SC Youth Learn Leadership and Agriculture at SC Farm Bureau Conference
Forty-seven rising high school juniors and seniors from across South
Carolina recently participated in the
South Carolina Farm Bureau
Federation’s (SCFB) 2016 Youth
Leadership Conference in Newberry,
SC.
The conference, held on the
Campus of Newberry College June 1215, allowed students to gain valuable
leadership skills, a better understanding of SC agriculture, and of the South
Carolina legislative process.
“Our Youth Leadership Conference,
sponsored by the SCFB Women’s
Leadership program, allows students
to explore opportunities within agri-
culture while developing their skills to
be leaders in the industry,” SCFB Ag
Literacy Director, Vonne Knight, said.
The conference operates on a twoyear curriculum cycle where students
learn about agricultural marketing and
promotion one year and about government relations and agricultural advocacy the next. This year’s conference
focused on legislative action in South
Carolina.
Students were addressed by industry professionals on leadership, goal
setting and legislative history of SC.
Dr. Nathan Saunders, Curator of
Manuscripts at the University of South
Carolina’s South Caroliniana Library
discussed with participants the history
of South Carolina legislation and how
they can become involved in the legislative process. Director of organizational training and leadership development for SCFB, Jessica Cabrera,
engaged participants in leadership
activities essential for students to
develop personally and professionally.
2016 SCFB Youth Ambassador
Dalton Stalvey said, “Youth Leadership
Conference is a great way to meet people from all across South Carolina who
share a passion for agriculture. We
were able to build leadership skills
while expanding our network and agricultural knowledge.”
The Newberry County Young
Farmers and Ranchers also hosted
their annual Ag Olympics competition
for the conference attendees.
“South Carolina’s agricultural
industry is a vital part of the state’s
economy,” SCFB President Harry Ott
said. “We advocate so our children and
grandchildren can farm long after we
are gone. Educating our youth on
opportunities available to them within
the agriculture industry is the first step
in involving students so they can have
a lasting voice in today’s issues.” The
SC Farm Bureau Federation is a nonprofit membership organization
formed to promote and preserve the
work of family farmers and rural
lifestyles across the state. In exchange
for their annual dues and financial
support of education, promotion and
lobbying efforts on behalf of agriculture and family farmers, Farm Bureau
members are entitled to discounts and
access to a number of quality products.
The organization serves more than
100,000 member families in 47 chapters and has been around since 1944.
Persons interested in supporting agricultural education are encouraged to
contact their county Farm Bureau
office or the South Carolina Farm
Bureau Federation at www.scfb.org for
additional information.
First Steps “Counts Down” to Kindergarten
Parents
as
Teachers,
Parents Are First, and
Countdown to Kindergarten
are programs that continue
service throughout high temperatures, encouraging school
transitioning, family strengthening, and parent education.
Countdown
to
Kindergarten (CTK) is a First
Steps program based on other
successful school transition
models from around the country. In its 10 years of operating
through DCFS, the goals have
been to increase the successful
transition of South Carolina's
most at-risk children into the
K-12 school system; to
increase parent involvement in
the early grades (particularly
in hard-to-reach communities), when children's learning
is foundational for life success;
and to increase public awareness of the importance of
school readiness.
This year, CTK began June 1,
2016 and continues through
July. Eight Darlington County
kindergarten teachers are
assigned to 48 children for the
summer. Children have six lessons in total- five lessons are
conducted in the home and the
last one is a visit to the school
where the child will attend
class in the fall. Children will be
placed in the same classroom as
the teacher who they were
assigned to for the summer.
Affordable Health
Screenings coming
to Darlington
Residents living in and
around the Darlington can
learn about their risk for cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and other chronic,
serious conditions with affordable screenings by Life Line
Screening. First Baptist Church
will host this community event
on July 15, 2016. The site is
located at 216 South Main
Street in Darlington.
Screenings can check for:
• The level of plaque
buildup in your arteries, related to risk for heart disease,
stroke and overall vascular
health.
• HDL and LDL Cholesterol
levels
• Diabetes risk
• Bone density as a risk for
possible osteoporosis
• Kidney and thyroid function, and more
Math, literacy, and social
studies are subjects introduced
to children and parents receive
education on healthy home
habits to prepare the child’s
transition to a school schedule.
“Helping children be better
prepared for kindergarten and
helping parents understand
what to expect is our aim” said
Patricia
Bailey,
CTK
Coordinator. “It is amazing
seeing how this jumpstart in
the summer makes a huge difference in the classroom.”
Kiwanis of Hartsville and
United Way of Hartsville provide needed material support
for the CTK program. “We
thank the Elementary School
Principals of Lamar, Pate, St.
John, Southside, Rosenwald,
and Cain for working with
DCFS to ensure their pre-
kindergarten students participate in CTK” stated DCFS
Executive Director, Darnell
McPherson.
DCFS’ mission is to provide
the information, support, and
encouragement parents need
to help their children develop
optimally during the crucial
early years of life. For more
information on programs
offered by DCFS, call 843-857-
3148 or visit their website at
www.darlingtoncountyfirststeps.org.
Screenings are affordable,
convenient and accessible for
wheelchairs and those with
trouble walking. Free parking
is also available.
Packages start at $149, but
consultants will work with you
to create a package that is right
for you based on your age and
risk factors. Call 1-877-2371287 or visit our website at
www.lifelinescreening.com.
Pre-registration is required.
SC Farm Bureau teaches agriculture in the
classroom to Darlington County teachers
Darlington County teachers,
Liz Byrd (left) and Diane
Perkins were among forty-nine
educators from across the state
who recently learned how to
incorporate agricultural lessons into their classrooms. The
South Carolina Farm Bureau
Federation (SCFB) hosted its
annual Ag in the Classroom
Summer Teacher Institute June
6-10 in Anderson, SC, where
teachers of grades pre-K
through 8 in public and private
schools learned how to teach
the importance of family farmers and domestically produced
food, fiber, forestry products,
and fuel to their students.
“It is so important that students learn where their food
and resources come from,”
Vonne Knight, SCFB Director of
Ag Literacy said. “Providing
teachers with not only the
information and lesson plans
they need, but also the confidence to teach agriculture
makes it easy for them to do
just that.”
In addition to instruction
about their learning and teaching styles, Institute participants
also heard from agriculture
and education experts from
Clemson University’s College
Relations/Ag
Careers
Department, , Department of
Animal and Veterinary Science,
the
SC
Ag
Statistics
Department, Clemson’s apiculture specialist, and the SC
Department of Agriculture.
Participants also experienced
two days of farm tours in the
upstate, including Major Farm,
Berry Acres, Greenbrier Farms,
Kings Sunset Nursery, Setzler
Farms, and Satterwhite Farm.
“The Ag in the Classroom
program is so beneficial
because we can educate teachers about the importance of
agriculture, and those teachers
are then going to take that back
to their own classrooms of
sometimes thirty students. The
overall outreach of the program is unmatched,” said SCFB
President Harry Ott.
“I never cease to be amazed
at the positive agricultural

impact this course makes in the
lives of teachers from across
the state during this one week,”
said Knight. “Teachers leave
with a greater understanding
of and appreciation for agriculture. I have never been part of a
more rewarding higher education experience.”
Ag in the Classroom
Institute participants received
lesson plans aligned to the state
curriculum standards to use in
their own classroom this fall.
They also left with resources
they can use to teach students
about agriculture and the benefits farmers add to the economy, the environment and the
community.
Participants received three
hours of graduate credit for
recertification from Winthrop
University, courtesy of SCFB’s
Ag in the Classroom Fund.
Along with a modest registration fee, which many County
Farm Bureau chapters reimburse to participants, sponsorships raised through the SCFB’s
Ag in the Classroom Fund cover
the cost of tuition, room and
board, resource speakers and
tours, and materials for the
week-long Institute.
“If agriculture is to maintain
its status as South Carolina’s
largest business sector – providing more than 212,000 jobs
and more than a $42 billion
impact on South Carolina’s
economy – we’ve got to help
people understand the link
between their food and fiber
and the farm,” said Ott. “Farm
Bureau’s Ag in the Classroom
program is a tool to help us
accomplish that goal through
our state’s teachers, and in turn
to our state’s children.”
The 2016 SCFB Ag in the
Classroom Summer Teacher
Institute was funded through
generous support from the SC
Ag in the Classroom Fund, SC
Farm Bureau Federation, SC
Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance
Co., the SC Beef Board, the SC
Soybean Board, the SC Peanut
Board, SC Advocates for
Agriculture, Newberry Electric
Cooperative, AgSouth Farm
Credit, Lynches River Electric
Cooperative,
and
Edisto
Electric Cooperative.
SCFB’s Ag in the Classroom
program also offers year-round
no-cost in-service workshops to
South Carolina pre-kindergarten through middle school
teachers, schools, and school
districts. To make a tax
deductible contribution to the
501(c)(3) Ag in the Classroom
program, for more information, or to schedule an in-service workshop, contact SCFB Ag

1955 Darlington Pony League
All-Star Team
By Jana E. Pye
Editor
editor@newsandpress.net
The photo that was shared
in the June 29th issue of the
News and Press by Beverley
Spears has had some interest
here in Darlington, and two
players in the photograph say
that the coach pictured was
not Robert Beckham, but
Coach John Davis.
Both Jim Stone and Sumter
Langston, teammates shown
on the back row next to the
coach on far right, remem-
bered the team well.
They also remember John
Davis well, but really didn’t
recall Robert Beckham.
“He may have helped with
other teams and had a collection of photos,” said Sumter
Langston. “But I cannot recall
him ever coaching us.”
“We were all good ball
players that year,” remembered Jim Stone. “If you look
closely, you’ll see we all had on
jerseys from the teams we
played for. The fella on the
front row, Wade Jordan, he
had a K for Kiwanis on his jersey that was put on with black
electrical tape.”
The team was in front of the
McCullough House on Pearl
Street, former home of the
Darlington
Recreation
Department and now the site
of the Council on Aging.
Jim Stone grew up next
door in the offices of the City
Administration Building, and
remembers one time that he
created a parachute and
jumped off the roof.
“The parachute broke my
fall, but I still ended up in the
bushes…and had a good many
scratches.” laughed Stone.
He said he escaped a whipping because his mother
couldn’t get to him fast
enough.
Langston remembered that
story, too.
The two hopes that their
memory is correct on the
names they have provided,
and welcome comments from
other community members
that remember these boys of
summer!

STP and Richard Petty
Motorsports with driver Aric
Almirola are honoring The
King's 1979 NASCAR season,
the season that many claim
catapulted NASCAR into a
household sport, at the
Bojangles' Southern 500 at
Darlington (S.C.) Raceway on
Sunday, September 4 with the
throwback paint scheme mirroring Petty's 1979 Dodge
Oldsmobile Cutlass.
"We started the season
really good because we won
Daytona to kick off the year,"
said Petty. "In 1978, we didn't
win any races, and then we
won at Daytona to start the
year. That was one of our better years, and we ended up
winning the Championship
that year, too. That was our
last Championship, so it was a
breakthrough year of sorts
after not winning the year
before. Having the car throwback to that year is special
because it was a good year for
us."
"I'm excited to run the
1979 STP paint scheme this
year at Darlington," said
Almirola. 'We had a lot of fun
with the throwback theme
last year, and it should be fun
to throwback again this year.
It makes the race so special.
There are so many great STP
paint schemes over the years,
which makes it special for our
team to run throwbacks. 1979
was definitely a breakout season when it comes to catapulting the sport into the
mainstream, so it's cool to recognize that this year with our
throwback scheme."
The aforementioned televised Daytona 500 is often
viewed as the turning point in
NASCAR's modern era as the
broadcast had 16 million
viewers and brought national
attention to the sport.
Although ½ lap down at the
white flag, a now-famous
accident between the leaders
saw Petty take the lead down
the backstretch and go on to
win his sixth of seven Daytona
500 races and break a 45-race
winless streak.
The throwback paint
scheme will feature one significant difference from the
original in 1979. A dollar
amount
signifying
the
amount of money raised by
STP customers for Victory
Junction will be featured on
the rear quarter panel of the
No. 43 STP Ford.

Shell continues heritage theme in 2016 with Darlington Southern 500 “Throwback”
Some say heritage is everything and that can ring very
true to a brand that has a
tremendous lineage in motorsports. Shell is excited to
unveil a commemorative paint
scheme to run in the 2016
Bojangle’s Southern 500 that
celebrates its first NASCAR primary livery.
It has been widely accepted
and reported that Darlington
Raceway’s
“Throwback
Weekend” for the NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series in 2015 was
a resounding success. Some
called it “one of the most
enjoyable race weekends in a
long time.” The race teams,
drivers, owners, broadcast
team, manufacturers and fans
alike were all on board for last
year’s inaugural event.
Shell participated in the
2015 festivities with a paint
scheme on the No. 22 Team
Penske Ford driven by Joey
Logano that mimicked a
LeMans-winning Porsche piloted by Mario Andretti in the
1980s. The car also carried
Shell branding from the 1950s
era to coincide with the founding of Darlington Raceway.
“Last year’s car was a big
part of Shell history, so this year
we wanted to bring something
to Darlington that celebrated
our NASCAR roots and one that
many fans would remember,”
said Heidi Massey-Bong, Sr.
Advisor for Motorsports and
Sponsorships at Shell. “The
Darlington paint scheme is the
third commemorative car we
are fielding with Team Penske
in 2016 to celebrate our heritage in American motorsports.”
Shell, a player in motorsport
technology around the world
for over 80 years, was relatively
new to NASCAR when the company first became a primary
sponsor in the mid-1990s. The
company is bringing back its
first NASCAR paint scheme to
celebrate the 20th anniversary
of its first win with 2000
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
Champion, Bobby Labonte,
who piloted the No. 44 Shell
Monte Carlo to its first NASCAR
victory in 1996 at Nashville
Speedway in what is now the
NASCAR XFINITY Series.
Labonte owned the car himself
before bringing the Shell sponsorship to Joe Gibbs Racing
where he competed in the
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and
the then Busch Series.
Ironically, Labonte drove the
same paint scheme to victory
lane at the “Track Too Tough To
Tame” in his final win for Shell
in 1998. The Darlington scheme
that Logano will carry on his
No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Fusion

Busch Series through the mid to
late 1990s. The Darlington
“throwback”
Shell
paint
scheme is actually one of three
commemorative paint schemes
that Shell and Pennzoil will
debut in 2016 to celebrate their
U.S. motorsports legacy.
“I think it’s a no brainer to
help celebrate Shell’s 20th
anniversary
of
NASCAR
involvement and run this cool
paint scheme at Darlington on
Labor Day,” said Logano. “It’s
pretty neat that Shell is celebrating 20 years in NASCAR
and even cooler that Bobby
(Labonte) won at Darlington
Raceway with this car, so it’s a
huge honor for myself and
everyone at Team Penske to
run this look. Heritage is a
main theme in everything
we’re doing this year and it’s
been great to have the support
from Shell-Pennzoil in running
paint schemes to help us commemorate the heritage of our
team and the heritage of our
sport.”
At the NASCAR All-Star
Race last month Logano piloted
the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford
to victory lane with a special
full-body mosaic that featured
images of significant Team
Penske milestones infused in
the livery. Just last weekend,
the No. 3 Pennzoil Team
Penske Chevrolet driven by
Helio Castroneves ran in the
100th
running
of
the
Indianapolis 500 carrying the
iconic bright yellow colors of
the “Yellow Submarine” of the
1980s. All three paint schemes
were put on the track to showcase the winning traditions of
Shell and Pennzoil over the
years in American motorsport.

Newman Swamp United Methodist Church celebrates 200th Anniversary
PHOTO BY JANA E. PYE
Newman Swamp UMC
celebrates 200 years of worship
By Jana E. Pye
Editor
editor@newsandpress.net
ucked away in a quiet corner
of the tiny rural town of
Lamar, the Newman Swamp
United Methodist Church congregation
has celebrated God’s word for two centuries; they have gathered together on
Sunday mornings to pray for loved
ones and sons sent off to fight in foreign wars, gather for weddings and
funerals, and enjoy fellowship.
The congregation gathered the
weekend of June 24 and 25 to celebrate their past and future with a day
of good old-fashioned fun with games,
reenactments, picnic, memorabilia displays and a movie on Saturday, followed by a lovely church service and
church meal in the fellowship hall on
Sunday. The Newman Swamp
Grammar School that adjoins the
church grounds serves as the church
fellowship hall, and many of the congregation attended the little school.
Rev. Wes Conner, who pastors the
church along with two other United
Methodist churches in his charge, had
a lot of help in gathering history about
T
the anniversary from Neil Windham,
who sadly passed away before the
event.
“The stories just poured out of
Neil,” recalled Conner as he shared
with the congregation on Sunday. “He
showed me where the original church
was in the woods, a little log house. Up
until he passed away, he shared photographs and memories with me, hoping
that I would do a good job with this
service. He wanted you all to remember how special this church was to
him, and to the community. The annual Children’s Day here at Lake Swamp
used to bring in more than 600 children to this tiny church for a day of
fun and games each summer. It’s
amazing to think of even in today’s
times how many children looked forward to that day!”
Neil Windham’s widow, Sylvia,
director of the choi, helped with the
church meal; she teared up when talking about how much Neil would have
loved the service. “I feel he was with
us today, and would have loved every
minute of it.”
The combined church choir of
Newman Swamp and Elim UMC
shared hymns with the congregation,
including the beloved “The Church in
the Wildwood” that was printed in the
insert for the congregation to sing
along.
A special surprise during the church
service was a “visit from past” from
Bishop Francis Asbury, sharing the
dream of John Wesley in Great Britain
that the Methodist Church be established and flourish in the New World.
The Rev. W. Robert Borom, the
Francis Asbury actor who shares the
words of Asbury, walked in from the
rear of the church in full dress of the
early 1800’s, complete with knickers
and a quill pen with which to compose
a letter home to England during his
spell binding oration. Asbury was
noted to have visited the church in the
history of Newman Swamp on his last
trip to Baltimore, Maryland to the
Methodist General Conference before
his death.
Newman Swamp was first known as
Windham Meetinghouse; “Father”
Jenkins preached there in 1816. The
present building was erected in 1901,
the fourth. The first was a log house,
followed by two other frame buildings.
Bishop Francis Asbury, portrayed by Rev. W. Robert Borom
Several of the artifacts of the church and schoolhouse were on display
for the 200th Anniversary, including an original pulpit Bible.
Church in the Wildwood
Composed in 1857 William S. Pitts
There’s a church in the valley by the wildwood,
No lovelier spot in the dale;
No place is so dear to my childhood,
As the little brown church in the vale.
Refrain
Come to the church in the wildwood,
Oh, come to the church in the dale,
No spot is so dear to my childhood,
As the little brown church in the vale.
How sweet on a clear, Sabbath morning,
To list to the clear ringing bell;
Its tones so sweetly are calling,
Oh, come to the church in the vale.
Refrain
There, close by the church in the valley,
Lies one that I loved so well;
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, ’neath the willow,
Disturb not her rest in the vale.
Refrain
There, close by the side of that loved one,
To trees where the wild flowers bloom,
When the farewell hymn shall be chanted
I shall rest by her side in the tomb.
Refrain
From the church in the valley by the wildwood,
When day fades away into night,
I would fain from this spot of my childhood
Wing my way to the mansions of light.
Refrain

Members of the St. John’s
Class of 1956 gathered for
their 60th Class Reunion at

on June 18th for fun and fellowship.
Brenda Pemberton Broach
and her husband shared a
wonderful slideshow of photos from the class from the
50’s and past reunions set to
music from the area, much to
the delight of the classmates.
“We had a wonderful
class,” said Broach. “We were
all such good friends, and
gathering together the memories all came back of the great
fun we had together at St.
John’s.”
The class enjoyed a wonderful meal at the Darlington
Country Club, and brought
home a keepsake booklet of
photos, memories, and a tribute list of classmates who
have passed away.

Sirius and the Dog Days of Summer
By Francis Parnell
Special to the News & Press
On July 4th, Earth is at "Aphelion", farthest from the Sun for 2016 at 94,512,904
miles. On January 2nd, Earth was at
"Perihelion", at 91,403,812 miles. Even
though we're 3% farther away from the
Sun than in January, it won't be cooler.
Starting July 3rd, "Dog Days" begins and
lasts 40 days until August 11th. It's called
Dog Days because the ancient Greeks
believed that "Sirius", the Dog Star, in the
constellation of Canis Major, rose with and
added its heat to that of the Sun, helping to
"Scorch" the Earth, causing dogs to go mad
and making daily life miserable. And, 2500
years later, the celestial canine is still
bringing the heat and humidity!
With New Moon on the 4th, if you have
a small telescope, this is a good time to
observe "Earthshine" and watch the sunrise over the rugged lunar landscape over
the next few nights. At dusk on the 7th,
look for the waxing crescent Moon low in
the west about 3-degrees to the lower left
of "Regulus", the Alpha star in Leo, the
Lion.
At dusk on the 8th, find the Moon 4degrees to the lower right of another great
telescopic object - Jupiter.
Early evening on the 11th, the first
quarter Moon will be in the southwestern
sky with the white light of "Spica" about 6degrees below left of the Moon.
On the 14th, look for bright red Mars

Coker College dance program graduate receives national award for performance
Earlier this June, recent Coker
College
graduates
Tierra
Foxworth and Tammaka Staley
traveled to Washington, D.C., to
perform their original work,
“Curveless Smile,” at the National
College Dance Festival at the John
F. Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts.
In addition, Foxworth received
the
Outstanding
Student
Performance Award. Sponsored
by the ACDA and Dance
Magazine, it is one of only two
awards presented to participants
in the festival: Outstanding
Student Choreography and
Outstanding
Student
Performance.
“Curveless Smile” was choreographed by Foxworth and is
performed by both Foxworth
and Staley. The collaboration
originally took place during their
senior year at Coker. It’s a unique
piece in that it is an intertwining
of two artistic mediums: dance
and the spoken word. Foxworth
collaborated with spoken-word
artist Staley by blending her original poem, “A Black Girl’s Smile,”
with
Foxworth’s
original
voiceover reflections on her
mother’s life.
“Curveless Smile” was one of
two out of 42 choreographic
works chosen at the southeast
conference of the American
College Dance Association, one of
the regional conferences that
determine the pieces chosen for
the National College Dance
Festival. The annual American
College Dance Association’s
National College Dance Festival
presents three programs featuring some of the finest dance
works selected from colleges and
universities throughout the country. Each program showcases
approximately 10 dances, with a
total of 31 schools participating in
the festival.
“Traveling to D.C. for the first
time to perform my own work
was a very mind-blowing experience,” said Foxworth. “The opportunity to not only dance, but to
enter a building that has hosted so
many brilliantly talented artists
and performances was ultimately
a blessing.”
The panelists for the
ACDA/Dance Magazine Awards
were Dana Tai Soon Burgess, a
leading American choreographer;
Jennifer Stahl, Editor-in-Chief for
Dance Magazine; and Lisa
Traiger, a prominent arts journalist. When describing why
Foxworth was chosen for the
Outstanding
Student
Performance honor, the panelists
said, “The dancer from ‘Curveless
Smile’ [was selected] for the fearless way she embodied a powerful
personal testimony. Her delivery
had a vulnerability and openness,
creating a genuine theatricality."
“This award is by far the highlight of my dance career,” said
Foxworth. “To anyone else it may
symbolize a great performance,
but for me I think of it as God's
way of telling me that dance is for
me no matter how many pirouettes I can or can not execute. I'm
extremely grateful for the nonstop encouragement from the
dance faculty and students, my
family and church family.
Without them, the success of
‘Curveless Smile’ would not exist.”

Stretch Your Brain and Body at the Library!
By Jimmie Epling
Director
Darlington County Library System
This year’s summer reading
program, “On Your Mark, Get
Set, READ!” at the Darlington
County Library System encourages children, teens, and adult
to stretch their brain and their
body this summer. Since its
kickoff on June 7th with the
hilarious “The Great Race,” a
live performance of the tortoise
and hare tale, the programs at
all four of our locations,
Darlington, Hartsville, Lamar,
and Society Hill, have been fun
and dynamic experience for all
those who have attended!
There is still plenty of time to
get involved!
In June, we had lots of exciting, entertaining, and engaging
programs.
Children
at
Hartsville and Darlington were
encouraged to become “Young
Yogis” with Jamie Martel. Mike
Wibe of Phil's Bicycle World in
Florence taught the children
the ins and outs of bicycling at
Darlington. A Darlington
Monday night teen program
featured an "American Ninja
Warrior Fandom" obstacle
course. Children at our Lamar
Branch showed off their best
dance moves. Aspiring Ninjas
in Society Hill were given a
taste of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu selfdefense with Chris Brunetti.
There are still lots of programs coming up in July and
you can still register for the
summer reading program to
earn points towards special
prizes!
Dance Move Academy will
be getting children moving at
Hartsville the morning of July
20th. There will be “Furry
Fitness” with miniature horses
at Darlington (July 12th),
Hartsville (July 13th), and
Lamar (July 19th). For dates
and times of all the July programs at all our location, go to
our webpage at www.darling-
A Darlington Monday Night Teen Program featured an "American Ninja Warrior Fandom" obstacle course.
ton-lib.org to get a schedule.
You can still register for the
program in one of four age
groups, Listeners (ages 0-4),
Readers (ages 5 - 11), Teens
(ages 12-19), and Adults (age
20+). When you register, you
create a personal summer reading page to track your reading
and participation in the program. Parents this year have
the option of registering themselves and their children as a
family.
The Library has three recognition and prize levels for participants. You can earn points
to reach each level by reading,
completing a “mission” on the
website, attending a program,
and volunteering at the
Library. Reach the first level
and you will receive a certificate. At the second level, you
will receive a “Summer
Reading” button. Each child
that reaches the third level will
receive a summer reading
medal to hang around his or
her neck. Prizes include books,
cool sports items, and coupons
for free stuff.
This year, for those who
earn enough points, we have
these special rewards:
•
Hartsville Splashpad
tickets (while they last)
•
Hartsville Twin
Cinema movie tickets (July
18th - Secret Life of Pets for
young readers; July 25th - Star
Trek Beyond for teen readers;
while they last)
•
Field trip to the
Bethlehem Therapeutic Stables
(July 21st)
•
“Game-On” National
Teen Lock-In, Darlington
Branch (Friday evening, July
29th. Storytelling, a magic
show, an online chat with a
famous author, fun, food,
games, and prizes).
To succeed, children must
become readers. The Library
wants to foster a love of reading
in children. Achieving our goal
requires we create a summer
reading experience to inspire
children and teens to read for
the pleasure of reading a good
story and to discover the world
around them.
This year’s summer reading
program at the Darlington
County Library System encourages you to enjoy the pleasures
of reading for fun and along the
way to exercise your brain and
your body. It is not too late to
get started.

wrestling will continue to
improve and compete at the
highest level on and off the
mat."
Baxter, a native of Sandusky,
Ohio, wrestled for the Lakers
for two seasons before injuries
derailed his athletic career.
Over his two seasons, he compiled a 41-23 record, including
a stellar 29-14 mark as a freshman.
The 29 victories he recorded
as a freshman are tied for fifth
in program history by a rookie.
He also led the Lakers with ten
victories by fall as a freshman,
which is also tied for fifth in
program history in a single season. He missed qualifying for
the NCAA Division II National
Championship by one place
after finishing fifth at the
NCAA Super Region 1
Tournament.
After having his wrestling
career cut short due to injuries,
Baxter stayed on with the program as a student assistant
coach during his junior and
senior seasons. Over his two
seasons on the Laker bench,
Mercyhurst has posted a 28-9
record in duals, including a
program-best 15-3 mark in
2012-13. The Lakers also won
the first-ever Division II PSAC
Championship in 2013-14.

Notice is hereby given that
there will be a Public Hearing
held before the Darlington
County Council on the date
and time above stated to
receive comments regarding
the County’s Assessment of
Corrective Measures Report
(ACM) for the Former
Darlington County MSW
Landfill (Permit # 1610011101).
The
Former
Darlington
County MSW Landfill is located approximately five (5)
miles west of Darlington in
Darlington County, South
Carolina. Darlington County
operated the landfill until its
closure in December, 1988.
The
Former
Darlington
County MSW Landfill is an
unlined landfill, and groundwater on the County owned
landfill property parcel has
been impacted by the landfill.
An assessment of groundwater
conducted in November 2015
documented that no off-site
impacts have occurred.
On April 19, 2016, South
Carolina Department of
Health and Environmental
Control (SCDHEC) requested
Darlington County perform an
Assessment of Corrective
Measures to evaluate appropriate measures to address the
groundwater impacts. SCDHEC Regulation 61-107.19
requires that the owner or
operator of a landfill must discuss the results of any
Assessment of Corrective
Measures Report at a public
meeting with interested and
affected parties. The public
hearing will include a summary
discussion
of
the
Assessment of Corrective
Measures Report and the recommended
Corrective
Measure of Monitored Natural
Attenuation with Maintaining
the pre-1988 Contours - Cover
System
Improvements.
Darlington County Council
may accept, reject, or make
amendments to the assessment based upon the comments received at the meeting.
Therefore, it is important for
interested persons to be present to make comments. Both
oral and written comments
may be given at the meeting.
Please forward questions
and/or requests for a copy of
the ACM Report to Ms. Renee
Howle,
Environmental
Services Director, 1 Public

Don’t get me wrong, I admire the
spirit in which they are conducted
but their potential environmental
impact makes me cringe.
When a vehicle is washed in a
commercial car wash, the wash
water is collected and routed to a
wastewater treatment plant. This
keeps all of those nasty contaminants out of the streams, rivers,

S.C. newspaper readers. Your
Where you wash your car impacts the environment
I’m one of those people that
really like my vehicle to be clean
which means my weekend chores
often include washing my SUV.
Since I’m on the shorter side, I
have to drag out a step stool in
order to reach the roof and my
mid-section ends up wet, dirty,
and soapy from stretching to
clean all the way to the middle.
Needless to say, I sometimes use a
commercial car wash rather than
my own elbow grease.
There is actually more to the
story of where I choose to wash
my car. While using a commercial
car wash does save me some
elbow grease, it also protects our
local waterways. How, you ask?
It’s all about the water: how much
is used, what’s in it, and where it
goes.
It may be hard to believe but
car washing is actually considered to be a serious contributor to
water pollution. The water that
runs off a car when it is washed in
a driveway, street, or parking lot
can contain contaminants like
Appraisals
and lakes that provide wildlife
habitat, opportunities for recreation, and in some cases, drinking
water. Commercial car washes
also use far less water per car
than the average homeowner.
For the DIYers out there who
aren’t in to automated car washes, there are other options. You
can get the same water quality
benefit by using a self-service car
wash. If washing your car at home
is your preferred method, select a
phosphate-free soap and park
your car on an area that absorbs
water such as a lawn. This will
reduce the amount of runoff that
makes its way to storm drains and
filter the water as it moves
through the soil. You have the
power to keep our waterways
clean and healthy.

you to the First Baptist Church
of Darlington for letting us
capture these sweet smiling
faces as they line the steps
wearing the neat shirts they
helped create at this year’s
VBS.

too…because putting a newspaper clipping on your refrigerator from the News & Press
is fun, too.

Where is this in
Darlington County?
The photo from last week was of
one of two fetching golden lions
that are located on Kelleytown
Road in Hartsville.
Readers that guessed correctly
were: Quinetta Buterbaugh,
Oliver Segars, and Bill Segars.
Can you guess where this neat
old building is in Darlington
County?
This camp is to expose
campers to teamwork, conditioning exercises, shooting,
offensive and defensive skills
and other fundamentals. This
camp also emphasizes the
importance of attitude, motivation, sportsmanship, manners
and responsibility in a
