30,000 bikers expected at Darlington event
By Samantha Lyles
Staff Writer

Perhaps upwards of 30,000 bikers
will roll into Darlington County next
week as the 38th Annual National
Bikers Roundup drops a kickstand at
the Darlington Dragway from August
5 through 9.
With such a large influx of visitors,
plans are in place to smooth out traffic kinks along Bobo Newsom
Highway and keep both residents and
guests safe on the roads.
Darlington County Sheriff Wayne
Byrd says there will be law enforcement officers present – either South
Carolina Highway Patrol or DCSO
deputies – on the highway in front of
the venue pretty much 24 hours a day
during the Roundup.
Motorists heading west on Bobo
Newsom towards Hartsville will find
the right lane converted to turn-only
into the Dragway. Eastbound traffic
turning into the venue will mostly be
guided into the median to keep the
main lanes moving. Byrd says travelers looking to avoid delays would be
wise to plan alternate routes that
bypass main thoroughfares.
Congestion on the roads can lead
to frayed tempers and costly mistakes,
so
Darlington
Police
Department Chief Danny Watson
advises drivers to keep a cool head
and avoid getting tickets themselves.
Watson says every DPD officer not in
school or on active military duty will
be working during the Roundup,
which means more cops on the
streets looking out for speeders,
impaired drivers, and those with
criminal intent.
Another traffic worry is the
inevitability of a car vs. motorcycle
collision, which often results in
severe injuries for the biker. Byrd
advises local drivers to stay alert during this event and take care to share
the road safely with these twowheeled visitors.
“In talking with other venues,
there are a lot more motorcycle-related crashes around this event, and it’s
primarily because you have such a
large number of motorcycles on the
road. People are not used to seeing
that many bikes that frequently traveling through the area,” says Sheriff
Byrd. “You’re talking about 25,000 to
35,000 bikers coming in and out,
every day, twice a day. There’s going
to be a lot of motorcycles on the road
and we certainly want our local citizens to be on the watch for them, to
be extra careful.”

The Darlington County
Habitat for Humanity ReStore
had a lot of help this summer
thanks to eight students from
the JAG program from
Darlington High School.
“We are really going to
miss them,” said ReStore manager Ben Schmeltz. “These
kids are hard workers!”
According
to
Noreen
Wingate, JAG Coordinator at
Darlington High School, the
program started in 2005-2006
school year. This is the first
year they tried a partnership
with the ReStore. “The summer program was sponsored
by Colon Abraham, owner of
CMA Services, Inc. of
Hartsville. He adopted our
program through the whole
school year,” said Wingate.
“He said he wanted to give
back to the community, since
people helped him when he
was in high school.”
JAG, “Jobs for America’s
Graduates” is a school-tocareer 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, and this
year had a total of 45 students.
For this summer program,
Abraham sponsored the crew
of eight students, four in the
morning and four in the afternoon.

“I am proud of these players.
Our guys were able to beat
hem twice after losnig to them
19 – 9 in Game 1.”
He shared the other following highlights:

William
Shakespeare, A Midsummer
Night's Dream
Don’t ever underestimate
the power of a dream, or the
strength of a determined young
woman from Darlington, South
Carolina. Stacy Burr is proof of
both.
Burr began powerlifting in
October of 2014, and a mere
nine months later attended her
first national competition and
won the Juniors 20-23 age, 132
lb
National
USPA
Championship and placed 2nd
Overall in Women’s Open on
July 10, 2015 at the Golden
Nugget Hotel and Casino USPA
National
Powerlifting
Championships.
She lifted a total of 832.4 lbs
at a 131 lbs body weight in the
60 kg weight class, 20-23 age
division. She was a RAW division lifter- no knee wraps or
extra support/equipment.
In competition, a powerlifter
does three lifts: first a squat,
then a bench, and then a deadlift.
At Nationals, her numbers
were:
Squat: 281.1 lbs
Bench: 187.5 lbs (American
World Record)
Deadlift: 363.8 lbs
“It was pretty amazing,” said
Burr. “But honestly, I thought I
could have done better.”
Although powerlifting is a
relatively new sport for
women, the Darlington native’s
diminutive size of 5’3” has not
held her back a bit – the total
Stacy Burr on the Square in
Darlington after returning home
from winning the National USPA
Championship in her division
weight she can lift is quite
impressive by any powerlifter
standards- female or male.
Burr is classified as an
International
Elite
Level
Powerlifter.
Her best-recorded lifetime
lifts:
Squat: 310 lbs
Bench: 210 lbs
Deadlift: 370 lbs
Burr’s goal is 1000 lb Drugfree Total
Since beginning the sport of
powerlifting, Burr has competed in six competitions; in addition to the Nationals in Las
Vegas, she also competed in:

Robots rule at STEM Camp
By Samantha Lyles
Staff Writer

Tiny robotic vehicles whirred around
a tabletop arena as their young creators
looked on, nervous for their mechanized
babies. These 7th and 8th grade students, participants in Darlington County
School District’s first robotics camp, had
put in two weeks of hard work, poring
over calculations and programming
instructions, and they showed off the
truly cool results of their labors at a July
23 demonstration held at the Darlington
County Institute of Technology.
The STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Math) Camp teams
built various types of vehicles to l
earn principles of motion and construction, like a pasta car with a balloonpowered thrust system, and a paper
car that could withstand a steep drop
while protecting its fragile egg passenger.
“All of that culminated in a robotics
competition… in terms of designing and
programming a robot to do certain functions,” explains Jerry Rivers, Darlington
County School District Math and
Science Coordinator.
Students built robotic cars to perform
functions that sometimes elude adult
drivers – things like parallel parking and
three-point turns – and most of the

demos went off without a hitch. But
even when the robots didn’t perform
perfectly the first time, the teams conferred, made adjustments, and corrected the problem in short order. Rivers
says that behavior, talking and pooling
ideas, was part of the curriculum.
“We did several activities engaging
them to learn to come together as a
group, as a team, to construct these different types of cars,” he says. “They took
the mindset of a project… and they said,
‘Hey, I’ve got to persevere through this.
I’ve got to make this happen.’”

A Good Man Gone Home
Memories of Harold Timmons
Reader says
THANK YOU
to Mrs. Knapp
There are no flags flying at half mast over the courthouse;
don’t expect any streets or bridges to be named in his honor, but
Darlington has lost one of it’s finest and longest citizens, Harold
Timmons has gone home!
There is a verse in the Bible that says, “Man goeth to his everlasting home and mourners go about the streets” – Ecclesiastes
12:5.
It happens everyday somewhere, and it happened in
Darlington when Harold Timmons left for that other world early
on Sunday morning, July 19, 2015.
I will claim the honor of having known Harold Timmons
longer than any person living today! Ours was an acquaintance
and friendship that began when Harold’s father, W.C. Timmons,
owned and operated a grocery store on Philip Street, near the village where I grew up as a boy. The year was in the mid 30’s of
the past century. I was a young teenager, still in school at St.
John’s in Darlington. Harold’s father had given me my first real
job, that of helping in the store on weekends. Harold’s father was
a great influence on me in my early life.
I grew up and Harold did also. Our paths led in different
directions, and long years passed when we didn’t hear anything
about each other. While still living in Florida, I heard from
Harold and he invited me to stop by his office on my next visit to
Darlington. I did! And what a visit we had! We shared memories,
filled in the blanks with happenings in his family and mine. We
had years of catching up to do. Space and time will not permit
me to write it all. We parted that day with a promise to stay in
touch. In the years that followed, each time I visited Darlington, I
made certain to visit with Harold. My wife, sister, daughter, and
her husband were always along. They would sit and visit with
Harold and me share our memories of persons, places, and
events out of our yesteryears. Our last time together happened
rather recently; we had our usual visit and went out for lunch.
Another good time was had, reminiscing and sharing time
together. None could know that this would be our last time
together.
“How swiftly on the heels of laughter, gallop the sounds of
sorrow!”
The news came. Harold was hospitalized, and in serious condition. I called my friend and it was so good to hear him say my
name, as only Harold could, “Bill Shepard!” He was too weak to
say more. We prayed for Harold’s healing, but God had other
plans.
Lines from a song out of yesteryear have been chasing
through my mind:
Just a note to Mrs. Knapp
to say a great big THANK
YOU! I have been a part of the
Darlington Community for
about twenty three years and
have observed much of what
she wrote about. Now, I like it
here. There are some great
people here. I was called here
to pastor the Southside Free
Will Baptist Church on McIver
Road. That ministry was a
blessing to my wife and I, and
when I retired I left a good
church and good people.
However, the leadership of
“Where are my friends that I knew yesterday?
They have gone home!
They left me one by one, as their day’s work was done.
Gone, they have gone home.”
Thanks for the memories, old friend
Note: My sincerest condolences and prayers are for all the
family as they move on into the future without Harold.
Mr. Shepard is a native of Darlington, S.C., and a current resident of Piedmont, S.C. and author of “Mill Town Boy” and
“Bruised”. He has been sharing his tales of growing up in
Darlington for decades, and we are delighted to share them each
week.

letters to the editor
Darlington needs to take a
hard look at the appearance
of our city. Some of the
entranceways to our town
could - and should - be
cleaned up and improved. We
have too many run down
houses and former businesses
that are eyesores. For some
reason or another, the
Chamber of Commerce is
plagued with constant turnovers in leadership. I could go
on, but I think the readers get
the point.
Mrs. Knapp was absolutely
right about the mural on the
wall off Pearl Street. My wife
and I kept looking for the
thing to be completed, until
one day some one informed
that it WAS completed.
Really!
We have an election coming up soon, and some of
these matters should certainly
be brought up by the voters at
the various stump meetings.
By the way, a lot of people
in Darlington really liked Mrs.
Knapp's Letter to the Editor.

Guns and death in South Carolina
By phil Noble
The recent murder of nine
people at Emanuel Church in
Charleston has sparked many
different reactions.
Confederate flags are coming
down, people are talking
about race in different ways
and the subject of guns and
violence is now back on the
agenda in our state and
country.
I frequently write about a
wide range of studies and
analysis of various public
policy issues. In today’s political environment, far too
often politicians and their
supporters pick out an isolated fact or two and use it to
spin out their rationale for
some line of rhetoric or predetermined position. These
folks, Democrats and
Republicans, use facts not to
determine what policies
should be pursued but
instead they use a couple of
fact to justify their bias, prejudice and pre-existing position.
That said, below are some
facts from recent studies –
simple fact with no rhetoric
or political spin – about
guns, death and violence in
South Carolina:
Between 2001 and 2010,
5,991 people in South
Carolina were killed by guns.
This is 15 percent higher
than all U.S. combat deaths
in the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan combined.
In South Carolina, a person is killed by a gun every
14 hours. There is an aggravated assault with a gun
occurring every 90 minutes.
In 2010, we were the seventh-deadliest state in the
country for gun murders. For
every 100,000 people, the
gun murder rate was 5; this
is 39 percent higher than the
national average of 3.6 per
100,000.
We rank No. 2 in the
county in aggravated
assaults with a gun, 2-1/2
times higher than the national average.
When it comes to killing
law-enforcement officers
with a gun, we rank fourth in
the nation. For the years
2002 through 2011, 16 officers were killed with a gun.
From 2001-2012, South
Carolina ranked fourth in
the nation in the number of
women killed by a gun, 64
percent above the national
average.
In the category of women
killed by men in domestic violence in South Carolina, we
ranked second and more than
half of these murders were
committed with a gun.
In 2001, the rate of guns
from South Carolina being
“exporter” to other states and
used in the commission of a
crime was twice the national
average. We exported 33
crime guns per 100,000 people compared to a national
average of 14.
In a statement after the
Charleston shooting,
President Barack Obama
made comments about how
gun violence and deaths were
so much worse in the United
States than in other industrialized countries. The statistics show that he is right.
The United States ranks
No. 1 in the world in the
number of guns per 100 people at 88.8. By comparison,
the rates for other industrialized countries are: France
32.1, Canada 30.8, Germany
30.3, Australia 15, Italy 11.9,
Russia 8.9, United Kingdom
6.6, Ireland 4.3 and Japan
0.6.
The ranking and rates of
firearms deaths per 100,000
people by county for industrializes countries are similar to
those of gun ownership: U.S.
3.5, Canada 0.5, Italy 0.3,
France 0.2, Germany 0.2,
Holland 0.2, Australia 0.1,
and United Kingdom 0.05.
For the most recent year
reported, Japan’s murder rate
with a gun was 0 – none.
Japan has a population of 127
million, South Carolina has
4.8 million people.
All of this would lead one
to ask – why? Why are the
bad statistics for South
Carolina so dire? At this point
there is a danger of wondering into a more subjective
analysis about gun safety leg-
in South Carolina – a big
problem. We are killing each
other with guns at a freighting rate. We are killing each
other at rates that are among
the highest in the country
and our county’s rates of gun
violence are among the highest rates in the world.
For now, let’s all agree on
this. We have a very big problem – a very, very, very big
problem – and we need to do
something about this.
islation – or lack thereof – in
our state.
But let’s stop here. Instead
of getting into a political or
policy discussion, which by
definition leads to division
and disagreement, let’s just
focus for now on the problem.
The key takeaway from all
this is that we have a problem

Bikers
Roar
For businesses that plan to
catch their share of the
tourism windfall, Sheriff Byrd
says planning ahead can help
spare business the stress of
being overwhelmed.
“I’d probably make sure I
had some extra help on hand
and brief all my employees
ahead of time,” he says. “And
if a situation or conflict develops, address it directly… and
if they have a problem, they
can call law enforcement and
we’d be glad to handle that for
them.”
The biggest traffic influx to
area restaurants will be during breakfast hours. One
Roundup organizer tells the
News and Press that many bikers like to go out and enjoy a
hearty breakfast, but afternoon and evening meals are
mostly prepared on grills at
the campsite.
To keep all those grills fired
up, and keep everyone cool
and hydrated, local markets
are advised to keep plenty of
charcoal, propane, ice, and
drinking water in stock.
Restaurants are asked to
designate parking for motorcycles, preferably in an easily
seen and well-lit area to discourage thieves from stealing
custom parts or cargo from
the bikes.
The schedule of events for
the 38th Annual National
Bikers Roundup is as follows:
Wednesday: Music all day
from DJ Big Mike and DJ
Shakim
Friday: Spade card tournament from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m.;
live music Friday night from
Terrance Young and the Soul
Central Band, and Big Mucci;
Test and Tune Grudge Racing
at the Darlington Dragway
Saturday: Bike show and
sound contest from 5 p.m. to 7
p.m.; live music Saturday
night from Big Robb, DJ
Shakim, and DJ Big Mike
Each day will offer plenty
of activities for kids, karaoke,
and vendors
General admission is $30,
bikers wearing club colors pay
$20, and kids 12 and under
are admitted free.

Columbia, S.C. (first meet,
October, 2014); Savannah,
GA; Lithia Springs, GA;
Furman in Greenville; and the
World Fitness Expo in Atlanta,
GA, where she lifted her best
total weight of 876.3 lbs (total
for bench, squat and deadlift),
going a 7 for 9.
The meet in Atlanta was
two weeks prior to the meet in
Vegas, which is not recommended.
“You are supposed to take a
week off after a meet, and take
it easy the week before a competition, but I didn’t plan that
too well,” said Burr. “You live
and learn. I’m still happy I
went to Atlanta, though, I
learned a lot there and
enjoyed it.”
Burr is 23 years old a 2014
graduate of Coker College,
and graduated from Mayo
High School for Math, Science
and Technology in 2010. She
has played softball for years,
competing at the college level
on the Coker College Cobras
team. While studying exercise
science at Coker, she earned
her
Physical
Trainer
Certification as a sophomore,
and was promptly hired by
Curtis Boyd as a personal
trainer at his World Fitness
Gyms.
“I like what I am doing
now, and I’m making an
impact,” said Burr. “What
good is intelligence or knowledge if you don’t share it? I
like to help out as much as I
can, be it a young person or an
adult taking their first training
lesson. My goal is that someone says they are a better person or a better athlete because
of something I taught them.
You watch people with their
head down with no confidence, and watch them evolve
into someone with confidence. I love that.”
She coaches individual and
group training sessions at the
Darlington and Hartsville
gyms, and occasionally at the
Florence locations, in addition

to her new full time job with
Frito Lay.
The irony of working for a
snack company is not lost on
her.
“I tell people they can eat
things – like chips, or a piece
of cake – in moderation,” said
Burr with a grin. “It’s important to not deprive yourself,
but it’s very important to eat
healthy and put good food
into your body as well as exercise.”
She attributes much of her
success to the encouragement
of her father, Billy Burr, and
sister, Shannon Burr. “They
have been great,” said Burr.
“My Dad always supported me
when I played softball- he
doesn’t know as much about
powerlifting, but he was so
happy when I came home.”
Billy Burr said that when
she left to fly to Vegas, she told
him not to expect a win. “Then
she comes home with medals,
winning Nationals,” he said
proudly. “She can do anything
she puts her mind to.”
At nationals she set a world
record a bench record for
USPA
(United
States
Powerlifting Association) 20 –
23 age, 132 lbweight class,
American world record of a
bench press of 187.5 lbs. At her
last meet, her best bench was
a 203 lb, which tied a USAPL
world record.
Burr was the only athlete
competing from the Carolinas
at Nationals. “I went to Vegas
and was overwhelmed- everyone else was there with sponsors, and a whole team,” said
Burr. “But I qualified and figured, why not. I could actually
do this. You miss opportunities all the times and you talk
yourself out of it. When you
get an opportunity just take it.
Not just in powerlifting or
sports, but in life. If you have
an opportunity to chase your
dreams, do it you may not do
as well as you want to, but say
you did it? That, to me, is pretty cool. I get chill bumps just
talking about it. I don’t think
I’m better than anybody.
When you believe in your own
hype, I don’t want to be on
top. I’m from Darlington, S.C,
my Dad is a truck mechanic.
I’ve never had anything handed to me. Nothing has come
easy to me. You gotta work for
things that mean to you. Some
people are gifted genetically,
but it keeps me motivated. I
am working towards something it’s about persistence

“It feels amazing because
you and your team worked
together to complete something that’s really big, that
most people don’t have a
chance to do,” says Wingate, a
rising 8th grader. “The fact
that we did all our math right,
like dimensional analysis,
finding the circumference of
everything for the number of
rotations – it’s a great feeling.”
The STEM Camp wasn’t all
number crunching, though;
students took a trip to the
BMW Manufacturing Co. in
Greer and witnessed high performance automobiles pieced
together by workers on a
robotics-assisted
assembly
line.
“My favorite part was what
they call ‘slapping the baby,’
when it officially becomes a
BMW and they take a hammer
and tap the BMW emblem
(onto the hood),” says
Wingate.
Rivers says the camp has
generated great interest
among the students, broadening their understanding about
how robotics can be incorporated into careers in both science and engineering.
“I think it’s really going to
be beneficial. They’re already
asking about next year,” says
Rivers.

and dedication, to keep going.”
“Powerlifting, and really any
sport, is more mental than
physical,” said Burr. “If you go
to a meet and you are scared, or
if you step to the plate at softball and are scared the pitcher
is going to strike you out, you’ll
fail. If you have doubt in your
mind, it’s gonna eat you for
lunch. When I set up for a dead
lift, I make noise. In my weight
class, which are the small girls,
they usually are quiet,” she
continued. “But, I am an
aggressive lifter. I get up to the
bar and scream or bark, I get
really into it. You gotta channel
an inner, primal sense …make
something happen. I get there
and know I’m gonna pick this
up. I do self-talk. You have to
have the right mindset. I say to
myself, “I can do all things
through Christ that strengthens me” and say it over and
over,.. And know ‘I can pick this
up’. You have to believe in yourself.”
Burr is the granddaughter of
Mary Sue Burr and the late
Fred Burr, who passed away in
December. She is also the
daughter of Lisa Burr.
She thought about getting
her master’s degree, but put
her degree on hold to come
home to care for her grandfather who passed away in
December.
“He would have been proud
of me on this win,” said Burr.
“I’m sure in some way, he
knew.”
What is powerlifting?
According to Burr, there is a
lot of strategy involved, and the
form and listening to commands from the three judges
are key.
The powerlifter stands on a
platform, and has three
attempts to get their best
weight at three lifts: the squat,
the bench, and the deadlift.
The athlete’s total is the
amount of pounds combining
the highest completed weight
for each of the three lifts.
“There are many rules,” said
Burr. “You must keep perfect
form, and pause at each move;

Members of the Anchor Club at Darlington High School pose with Director Nancy Lee on their recent
trip to Florida to attend the Pilot International Meeting. Read more in next week’s issue!
they tell you commands, when
to squat, press. It’s not like
‘show up and look like a barbarian’ - it must be technically
sound, and cookie cutter perfect commands. It’s really
nerve-wracking.”
“You open up with something you know you can do,”
said Burr. “The second should
be something that you have
done – and pretty challenging.
The third attempt might be a 5
lb PR, or something that might
be possible, but might not be.
Some people do it a little differently. You get the three
chances, and whichever one
you record as the highest, that
is your number for that lift.”
All the participants compete
that one, and move on to the
next lift. The groups are
divvied up into weight classes,
and age groups.
Her favorite female powerlifter is Jennifer Thompson,
who has won several world
records. “She just is so inspirational. Its not her day job, she is
actually a math teacher, and
goes to the meets with her husband and kids.”
Stacy came in third to
Thompson at the World Fitness
Expo in Atlanta, and got to
meet her personally. “I was so
proud to stand on the podium
with her,” said Burr. “I got a
chance to talk to her, and she
told me that powerlifting is one
of the few sports that you can
actually improve with age some of the top powerlifters are
in their 30’s and 40’s, because
you improve your form and
strength more so than in other
sports.”

“The kids gain some
work experience, and from
that, we can create a
resume,” said Wingate.
“Colon also made weekly
visits to our program
through the school year,
came out to give students a
business perspective. He
also hosts a cookout for the
JAG teachers and students.”
Orlando Hudson, local
professional baseball standout and founder of the
C.A.T.C.H.
Foundation,
sponsored one of the students, Melquan Depugh,
and will be following his
college baseball program in
the fall.
If the students complete
the entire summer, they will
complete their first resume,
and receive payment.
The students that were
available for the interview
shared their experiences
this summer:
Ashton Truett, rising
sophomore at DHS: “I
worked the floor with
Shannon,” said Truett. “I
used a cash register for the
first time, and putting up
displays in the store.” Her
favorite part of the job was
ringing up customers.
Kadajah Walker, rising senior at DHS: “It was
fun, and pretty easy,” said
Walker. “My favorite thing
was working the floor with
Ashton.” In addition to
working on the floor, she
also sorted through the
clothing donations in the
back. She had never worked
in a store before, and this
was her first job experience.
Alyceana Wilson, rising junior at DHS: “I
cleaned and priced all the
items that are out,” said
Wilson. “We estimated
prices, and looked at the
item and came up with the
conclusion if it was worth
spending money on or not.
Then, we priced the item in
our own budget, like how
much you would spend on
it. We Googled some of the
stuff that were worth more,
things that would get a better price.” She never heard
of Habitat before this experience. “The
fact that I’m putting
hours in here, I feel like I’m
changing somebody’s life by
getting new stuff. Habitat
gives back.”
Tyler Bruton, rising
Members of the JAG program at Darlington High School with Darlington County Habitat for Humanity
ReStore Manager Ben Schmeltz and Assistant Manager Shannon and JAG Coordinator Noreen Wingate.
junior this year at DHS: “I just
started yesterday, and it was
my first experience sorting all
the clothes and making sure
they go where they need to go.”
She worked in the back, and
saw where they were supposed
to go on the racks. This was her
second job experience; she
worked last year at the school
for a part time job. “I am very
excited about working here this
summer.”
Melquan Depugh, 2015
Graduate of DHS, and will be
playing baseball this year as a
freshman at USC Sumter:
Depugh, a former football and
baseball athlete and recent
graduate of Darlington High
School has been helping with
the electronics at Habitat this
summer, under the direction of
ReStore
manager
Ben
Schmeltz. “When we came in,
Ben helped us with the electronics- like how to clean them
up and stuff. I learned a lot of
life skills from him. He taught
us a lot.” He didn’t know much
about Habitat before this summer job experience. “Miss
Wingate called me over the
summer, and asked if I was
working anywhere, and would
like to do this… I’m glad I did.
You work with a lot of nice people, and it helps a lot of people.”
He asked that friends follow
him this year on his Twitter
feed, @_MellyD_
Anthony Fullard, 2015
Gradutate of DHS, and will be
on the wrestling team at Allen
Universty in Columbia this
year: “Melquan had the morning shift on electronics, and I
had the afternoon,” said
Fullard. “We also helped load
and unload the truck, and basically did all ‘round things here,
I did all I could do for the
Habitat. “ The heat doesn’t
bother him, as an athlete “I’ve
been working out in the heat,
so it doesn’t bother me as
much,” He starts freshman year
at Allen on August 2, and
begins wrestling practice the
same day. Speaking of Habitat,
Fullard said, “I heard of it, but I
really didn’t know what it was
all about until I started working
here and got an indepth view of
what they do.” he said. “It’s
good for people that want to
get rid of their stuff, and for
those that are starting in new
homes – they can get furniture
for cheap so they can start off
slowly as they build up I
learned how to price, to organize, and make deals on things.
We also learned how to do
maintenance on the truck, how
to keep oil in it and do the
mileage
A’Reeonna Self rising
junior at DHS: “I liked setting
up the clothing racks,” said
Self. “I had never worked in a
store before. I really liked meeting people that came in to
shop, and to donate. This was a
really fun thing to do this summer.”
“We’ve actually seen out
best month yet here in
Darlington, and I attribute a lot
of it to the good help,” said Ben
Schmeltz, ReStore manager.
“Good help is hard to find,
especially in young students,
they have done an exceptional
job. I have been working with
Habitat for three years, and as
a manager for a year and a half,
and I can tell you that good
help is hard to find,” he continued. “These kids worked really
hard, and they come in ready
and willing to work. That’s not
usually the case with young
kids. Our stock got moved in
daily, rather than just once a
week, and we had tremendous
sales because of that.”
In addition to the heavy lifting, the young men in the program also assisted by driving
the truck, something that Ben
will miss greatly.
“We have a lot of kids from
groups around the country that
come to help on building
Habitat houses, too,” continued
Schmeltz. “I hope that we can
get some students involved
with this, too. Then, they really
see the good that the sales from
the ReStore actually do for
themselves.”
“These kids have been a real
blessing to us,” said. Shannon
Maddox, who works along with
Schmeltz at the ReStore. “They
are getting good experience,
and we definitely needed the
boys’ help. We have some good
spirited people here, sometimes I have to tell them to take
a break. They have been really
good team. I think God has
blessed us with them coming
and help. I look forward to our
future with Miss Wingate, and
future helpers to come in and
help. It’s a great thing for them
to get experience and get their
foot in the door.”
Ms. Wingate said that she
hopes to get volunteers from
the program to help out on
Saturdays through the school
year. “I will help, too,” she said.
“I wouldn’t ask them to do anything that I would not do
myself.”
“Usually Coker College or
out of state groups build our
clothing bins,” said Schmelzer.
I hope we can organize a build
for those things, too.”

What a change! Darlington Branch Open House
The
Friends
of
the
Darlington Branch hosted an
open house for the Library this
past Saturday to show off the
changes volunteers, Friends,
and staff have made in the
Library during the last three
months. If you haven’t visited
the Darlington Branch since
May 1st, you need to go have a
look. It is like entering an
entirely new Library.
Those who attended the
open house were surprised by
all the changes made in such a
short time. When you walk into
the Darlington Branch, you no
longer see the yellowed,
stained, and peeling wallpaper.
It has been replaced with a
sleek, contemporary color
scheme selected by the staff.
The colorless, empty circle
above the interior entrance is
now highlighted in yellow and
sports the Library’s logo, in cut
metal, that seems to float in the
circle. The children’s area and
part of the adult area were
switched in the makeover. The
children’s area has come alive
and is so much more inviting
with its new paint scheme and
the natural light from the tall
arched window. These are just
a few of the changes visitors
were able to see.
The sweeping changes made
in the Darlington Branch would
not have occurred so quickly if
not for the Cornerstone Baptist
Church’s MissionFest 2015
members. Dozens of members
helped to transform the Branch.
In recognition of the “their
time, energy, and expertise”
given to the Library and the
“positive difference” they made
for the Library and the community, the Library’s Board passed
a resolution extending its “profound appreciation” for their
work. The framed resolution
was presented to Dr. William
“Pastor Bill” Curtis, Senior
Pastor at Cornerstone Baptist
Church, on behalf of the Library
as part of the open house.
Friends President Lois
Baldwin said, “We are thrilled
with the changes and the outpouring of help the Friends and
the Library have received to
make all this possible.” As part
of the festivities, the Friends
also gave away door prizes and
free hotdogs, chips, and drinks
to all those who visited. The
refreshments were served just
outside the children’s room in
an area that may become a
reading garden.
Support VFW’s scholarships with NASCAR XFinity series ticket
Darlington Raceway, the
Veterans of Foreign Wars
Foundation and Sport Clips
Haircuts are partnering to raise
funds for the VFW’s Help A Hero
Scholarship Program.
Effective immediately thru
August 28, the track is offering

calling
Verification of military service
will be vetted through SheerID.
In turn, Darlington Raceway
will donate $2 for each ticket
purchased through the program
to the VFW’s ‘Sport Clips Help A
Hero Scholarship’ program.
“We appreciate the men and
women who have served in the
United States Armed Forces and
protect our freedom,” Darlington
Raceway President Chip Wile
said. “This is a great opportunity
for our military heroes to enjoy a
great NASCAR race and at the
same time help fellow service
members and veterans as they
transition into the next chapter
of their lives.”
“Darlington Raceway is fortunate to be located close to a number of military installations
throughout the Carolinas, so it’s
important that we support programs that benefit our military
members serving right here in
our region,” Wile continued.
By providing scholarships for
use at post-secondary schools,
including trade schools, the VFW
and Sport Clips’ goal is to continue their strong support of the
military, while making the transition from military life to the
civilian workplace a little easier.
To date, Sport Clips has given
more than $1.2 million in scholarships to help service members
and veterans in the next chapter
of their lives, with new scholarships being awarded every
semester.
The VFW Foundation and
Sport Clips have been entitlement partners of Darlington’s
VFW Sport Clips Help A Hero
200 race since 2012.
The Tradition Returns to

Can you say ginormous Dorito ears? Rin
can help you stay on your diet because
there will be no chance of sneaking a bag
of potato chips with this guy in the house.
He has a gorgeous chocolate coat with
gold accents to accompany his fabulous
ears. Rin is a happy, animated young fellow eager to learn. He enjoys attention
from humans and other dogs, and did
well walking on lead. He didn’t pay any
attention to the caged cats, but should
need to be tested with running cats just to
be sure. 40 lbs; 1 yr old; lab mix; male.

located 0.5 miles from Darlington Raceway
off Highway 151 in Darlington.

ChurCh of
the Week:
Salem
Black River
Presbyterian
Church,
Part 1
By Bill Segars
Guest Writer
Several weeks ago I mentioned
that when a local person finds out
about my interest in old churches,
they invariably will ask about two
buildings: Pisgah in Florence County,
and our church this week, Salem
Black River Presbyterian in Sumter
County. Both are very striking in
appearance, and are located on welltraveled roads. After fielding questions about both buildings over the
last 12 years, less seems to be known
about Salem than Pisgah. It’s almost
mystical in the unknown air of this
building.
Salem, located at 1060 North Brick
Church Road (Hwy 527) outside of
Mayesville, is in a more remote area
than Pisgah. It doesn’t have a church
office or a regular preacher, so there
is very seldom a car parked at the
building. The church just sits beside
the road all by its self, leaving everyone that sees it to wonder about its
history. Does it have an active congregation? If so, when do they meet?
The questions run from one end of
the spectrum to the other, but all are
interesting. There is a historical marker in the front yard and many people
do stop by to read it; the marker only
piques their interest for more information concerning this stately building.
The present building is old, built in
1846, but Salem Meeting House was
established well before that, in 1759,
as a daughter church of Williamsburg
Presbyterian in Kingstree. David
Anderson, a captain in the militia,
donated a portion of his 300 acre
1753 land grant near the Black River
for the construction of a log-meeting
house. In 1768, that building was
torn down; a wood framed building
was erected on the same ground, facing the Kingstree to Camden Road. In
1780, it was around this building that
Gen. Thomas Sumter’s militia and Lt.
Col. Banastre “Bloody” Tarleton’s
British regulars bivouacked under the
trees at different times as they
tracked each other in the American
Salem Black River Presbyterian in Sumter County.
Revolutionary’s back woods battle.
Luckily, Tarleton left without burning
the church, which he had a habit of
doing.
After the Revolutionary War, the
Scots-Irish in the area felt the need
for a larger, more substantial building
that they built using brick in 1802,
again on the same sacred ground. By
now, the name of Salem Black River
Presbyterian Church had been adopted. This brick building served the
congregation well for 44 years; but
the congregation may not have
served the building well, because by
the early 1840’s their building was
determined to be “beyond repair”.
A committee of six men was established to begin the process of building
a new building, what we would know
today as “the building committee”.
These men drew the basic plans for
the present building on one sheet of
paper. The plan was enough information for the J. Lomas & Company of
Columbia to provide a price of $5,620
to build the designed building. It was
also agreed that the thousands of
brick needed to construct the exterior
solid brick walls would be made from
the clay that could be found locally.
The 2709 square foot building is
PHOTO BY BILL SEGARS
truly a marvel of construction for any
time frame, but particularly for 1846.
Its Greek Revival style building measures 45’ 8” X 59’ 4” plus a 8’ X 45’ 8”
front porch.
This article, and others, has mentioned “solid brick walls” which
means that even as each brick is a
solid unit (a brick unit not having
holes, as we see today), but the entire
wall is brick in its thickness, with no
wood studs as most people we are
accustomed to seeing today. A “solid
brick wall” is a load-bearing wall,
meaning the roof and floor load is
carried and supported by these walls.
Here at Salem, the foundation walls
are 24” thick, and the main wall
between the pilasters are 16” thick.
The thinnest walls, at 8” thick, are
the two gable walls in the attic. The
pilasters, an extra thickness of brick,
are positions in specific location due
to extra load support needed at that
location, rather than simply for
appearance.
Entering the interior of Salem
Black River seems as if you are stepping back in time. Repairs have been
made due to Hurricane Hugo damage, but the interior maintains its
original charm in many of the origi-
nal elements. The pews are handmade of pine lumber that has been
faux painted to resemble oak wood.
The pews maintain the original
doors, with numbers assigned to individual families that rented that particular pew. The pew rental rate
depended on the location of that pew
as it related to the pulpit. It is recorded in the early years of the church,
that if all of the pews were rented,
$945 per year could be raised; typically this money was assigned to pay
the preacher. Mr. W. T. White of
Charleston made the balcony railing
for the cost of $148.41. The freight
charge to have it delivered from
Charleston was $3.88. That’s enough
construction lesson for one session;
let’s get back to the history of the
building itself. Even though the
building appears to be original, and
in fact it has not changed in size or
appearance, it has been maintained.
Primarily its repairs have occurred
due to natural disasters. Six large
steel shields, which are attached to
three steel earthquake rods running
through the 45’ 8” width of the building, can be seen up high on the exterior walls. These were installed after
August 31, 1886, when Charleston
was struck by an approximate 7.0 on
the moment magnitude scale earthquake which shook the east coast.
Then the copper roof was replaced
after September 22, 1989 due to
Hugo. Other minor repairs, some
helpful and some not as much, have
been performed over the building’s
169 year life; all was done not to have
a repeat of the 1802 building’s
“beyond repair” condition.
There are many more interesting
facts about this building, and the people that love it enough to make sacrifices. Next week you will be able to
learn more about these facts, and
most importantly how you can witness the feeling of worshiping in and
serving in this historic jewel affectionately known as the Old Brick
Church.
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.
A short chat about a long life
By Samantha Lyles
Staff Writer
[email protected]
Mr. Lucas Dargan of Darlington recently
celebrated his 98th birthday with a lively
party at his South Charleston Road home,
but he took a moment away from the revels
to sit down with us and share a few recollections from his exceptional life.
“I was born in the house right across the
road, and my father died when I was about
a year and a half old. We moved to town
when I was three years old, so I grew up in
Darlington,” says Lucas.
He says that while his mother held onto
the family farm and his brother farmed it,
he had a different path in mind.
“I decided when I was in fifth grade that
I was going to be a forester,” he says, and he
followed that dream to college at North
Carolina State – but only because Clemson
University didn’t have a forestry program at
the time. He then switched over to study
wildlife management at Utah State.
“I had never been out of North and South
Carolina until I took off for Utah,” says
Lucas.
After graduation, he spent time researching wildlife in the rugged, beautiful wilds of
western Colorado, and then moved on to
Maryland and a job with the US Fish and
Wildlife Service. Shortly thereafter, Dargan
enlisted in the Navy and became “a tin can
sailor” on a destroyer.
“A destroyer has no armor,” Lucas
explains. “We used to say that a destroyer’s
armor is supposed to keep out water and
small fish – a large fish being a torpedo.”
Dargan served 37 months of sea duty and
spent the last months of World War II putting destroyers into mothballs in Norfolk,
Virginia.
“We had to keep them in good condition
because we were thinking we might have to
Lucas Dargan
use them against the Russians,” he says.
He returned briefly to his job in
Maryland, but found the far-future aspect of
research work unsatisfying.
“I said I didn’t want to be working on
something that won’t be used in the field for
fifty years. I want to see the improvement
next year,” says Dargan, who went into
more hands-on consulting work for farmers
and landowners.
Lucas estimates he planted over a million
pine trees within the first five years of his
consulting career, which he stuck with until
his retirement four years ago.
Dargan now lives in a home built by his
uncle around 1904, and though he walks
with a cane, he gets around pretty well.
Daily life is eased and brightened by his
housemate Lois, one of his four daughters.
“She’s in charge of this house now, and
I’m very fortunate to have her,” says Lucas.
Asked about his all-girl offspring, Dargan
gives a smile and a little laugh.

DDRA, city officials, friends and family join Tiffany Williamson, center, at Salon 316 ribbon cutting.
Salon 316 is “dream come true” for owner
By Samantha Lyles
Staff Writer
[email protected]
Darlington’s newest hair
styling center, Salon 316, was
formally introduced with a
July 21 ribbon cutting ceremony and open house staged
by the Darlington Downtown
Revitalization Association.
Friends and family joined
DDRA board members and
City of Darlington government representatives to welcome salon owner Tiffany
Williamson (center, left) to
the city’s business community.
Williamson says opening
Salon 316 is the culmination
of a long-held dream, and the
business name conveys her
belief in the higher power that
helped her dream come true.
“I got it from the Bible
verse John 3:16 because I felt
that God so loved me that He
gave me a gift to do hair, and
I’m just so grateful for it,” says
Williamson.
Salon 316 serves clients of
all ages and offers a wide variety of hair styling options,
from flat ironing to permanent waves, in a cheerful and
sunny setting. Formerly home
to a tax preparation office,
repurposing
the
space
required a major overhaul,
and Williamson attended to
every detail – from flooring to
painting to décor – with one
goal in mind.
“I want an atmosphere that
is relaxed and conducive for
everyone to feel comfortable
and
welcome
here,”
Williamson says.
Mayor
Tony
Watkins
thanked Williamson for placing her faith and her resources
in Darlington.
“What I see here is pride
and investment, and if you’ve
got that spirit to succeed, you
will succeed,” said Watkins.
Salon 316 is located at 5081 Pearl Street in Darlington,
phone 843-409-9295.

CROSSWORD
Darlington native
receives award
On Sunday, July 12, 2015,
the 9th Masonic District under
the leadership of District
Deputy Kevin N. Brown attended church service at New Zion
Baptist Church in Sardis, SC as
a manifestation of honor in the
memory of Brother Johnny
“Son” James, Sr.
Brother James was a charter
member of Morning Light
Lodge #430 located in
Florence, South Carolina.
Joining Morning Light
Lodge were several other
brothers from Riven Rock
Lodge #60, as well as Sisters
from Naomi Chapter #93,
Order of the Eastern Star.
While the purpose of the visitation was to commemorate
the memory of Brother Johnny
“Son” James, the members
present found it befitting to
also award District Deputy
Brother Kevin N. Brown, 32°,
an accolade illustrating his
dedication and hard work to
the 9th Masonic District which
consists of close to 900 brothers within 24 lodges located in
Florence
County,
South
Carolina.
“This isn’t about me,” says
Brown, “This is about preserving
our heritage and never forgetting about those who left us as
gatekeepers of the wisdom they
shared and illustrated through
their lives and legacies.”
Brother Brown also states “I
give all honor to God, who is the
head of my life. I thank him for
placing me in the midst of the
Brothers of the
9th Masonic District and the
Eastern Stars. I also thank my
family and the great communities of Darlington and Florence
which have been very receptive
to the service of the 9th Masonic
District.”
Brown asserts that the 9th
Masonic District is just getting
started, and Florence and surrounding areas will continue to
see the efforts manifold exponentially.
Kiwanis awards scholarship
The Darlington Kiwanis Club presented one of two scholarships to Darlington High School graduate
Krystal S. Brown. She is pictured here with her grandmother Ruth Zimmerman and Club President
Bobby Kilgo. She is the daughter of Delores Zimmerman. Brown plans to attend College of Charleston,
major in biochemistry, and become a pharmacist.
The Darlington Kiwanis Club meets every other Thursday at Darlington Country Club with a mission
to help children through fundraisers and a variety of community projects. The club can be found on
Facebook: DarlingtonKiwanis.

produce, plants, and more.
Musical acts for the Market
include
guitarist
Dana
Vaughan
from
Atlanta,
comedic rock ‘n’ roll musician
Tyler James Cook, gospel
singer John Pickett (in photo

“We were always looking for
a boy, but I’ve never seen a boy
I’d trade for one of my girls,” he
says. “We raised four girls and
our first four grandchildren
were boys – and there’s a big
difference, I’ll tell you that!”
Dargan admits that he never
expected to live to see his 98th
birthday and says he doesn’t
event in July due to the holiday. The open-air monthly
market is a partnership
between
Darlington
Downtown
Revitalization
Association, the City of
Darlington and a dedicated
group of volunteers that
began in 2011.
In September, the Market
will hold its annual kids
Sidewalk Chalk Art Contest,
and in October the Showdown

longevity, but as you might
expect from a country gentleman with close ties to the land,
his advice for staying healthy is
pretty simple.
“Eat lots of locally grown
fruits and vegetables,” he says.

Print vs. Digital
Books – Does it
matter to you?
By Jimmie Epling
Director
Darlington County Library System
First let me say it will be a
long, long time before anyone
will ever walk into a location
of the Darlington County
Library System and ask,
“Where are the books?”
With all the changes going
on at the Library and our website becoming a “digital
branch,” you need not worry
that one day you will enter one
of our locations to find no
books. Now that said, there is
a shift happening. This has put
some libraries under fire as
they shift from print to digital
books.
A couple of weeks ago,
State Librarian Leesa Benggio
spoke to the Hartsville Kiwanis
about the services offered by
the State Library to public
libraries throughout the state.
Afterward,
a
couple
approached her to have her
settle their ongoing discussion
about print versus digital
books. He, a retired businessman, and she, a retired school
librarian, had been debating
whether libraries should
encourage and promote the
reading of print books over ebooks. When asked to weigh
in, Ms. Benggio’s response was
it doesn’t matter what we as
librarians and individuals
might like, our customers have
already weighed in on that
debate and decided. They
want both.
You hear reports from
around the country that public
libraries are slashing their
print collections in favor of ebooks. Some have even
prompted heated protests.
In New York City, protesters
shouted: “Save the stacks!
Save the stacks!” in response
to a plan to do away with
seven floors of book stacks to
free up 10,000 square feet for
writers, researchers, and jobseekers. The $300 million renovation was cancelled, but
officials maintained the project would have modernized
the library and provided
increased digital access to its
resources. Eliminating so
much of the print collection
was extreme.
The Fairfax County Library
System in Northern Virginia
has reduced its print collection
by nearly 1 million books since
2009. This sparked what the
director there called a feud
with the Friends of the
Library. Dennis Hays, a former
U.S. ambassador and chairman of Fairfax Library
Advocates, a group of residents at war with library officials said, “Nothing can take
the place of a book.” That view
is a bit too narrowly focused,
in my opinion.
Here in South Carolina, the
Richland County Library
System is exploring a new concept in library service called
the “Library as Studio.” The
library’s leaders are shifting
“the library from being a warehouse of books to a place of
vibrant 21st century learning.”
The Library as Studio concept
“is about creating the conditions that promote the activities that are timeless, even
though the tools are not. The
goal is a library that will grow
for 20 years.” Creating spaces
for creativity has required
some renovating of the central
library and removal of book
stacks. Richland County has
just embarked on their evolution into a “studio” library.
Time will tell if the community
embraces the new service
model.
As State Librarian Leesa
Benggio pointed out to the
couple, our community and
the market have spoken. Ebooks are not a passing fad.
They have changed where and
when we read.
The Library is passionately
committed to providing ebooks, e-magazines, and eaudio books for our “digital
branch.” The clock cannot be
turned back to a time before ebooks. They are here to stay
and personally I am glad.
Count me among those who
enjoy the convenience of ebooks. The Library will be buying more e-books this year.
Their use has increased every
year, so it only makes sense we
will commit more funds to
purchasing e-books.
Local children’s book author to sign books at Market on Darlington Square
Charlotte
K.
Berger,
Advertising Director for the
News and Press and local
author, has been writing most
of her life. On August 1 and
Sept. 5, 2015, Berger will hold
a book signing from 9 a.m. – 1
p.m. at the Market on
Darlington Square for her children’s books entitled, “Doozy
the Lonely Firefly”, and her
second book, “Snazzy Razzy.”
In March, 2006, she won
the Editor’s Choice Award for
her poem entitled, “A
Survivor’s Longing” from the
International
Library
of
Poetry.
“I am looking forward to my
scheduled book signings. I am
planning a third book signing
at Shoney’s in Hartsville in
September. (Date will be
announced.) All of my children’s books fall under my
theme of Doozy and Thoozy
Children’s Books. I thank God;
He gave me an imagination I
can use to make others happy
through my love for writing. I
have always loved creating stories and poetry, ever since I
learned how to hold a pencil. It
is one of my favorite hobbies,
and I enjoy writing non-fiction
as well,” said Berger.
Berger is also working on
her upcoming book entitled
“My Bluemoon”, which will be
an inspirational book about
her journey as breast cancer
survivor for the past 10 years.
“Doozy the Lonely Firefly”,
Berger’s first children’s book,
was published in 2006. In
March 2009, she pulled her
work from that publisher and
in 2011, she republished the
same book with a new publisher at www.xlibris.com. The
book can be purchased there
by entering Doozy in the
Charlotte Berger in her office at the News and Press in Darlington
with her book, “Doozy the Lonely Firefly”
search engine.
“Xlibris has been a great
publisher for me so far. It took a
lot of research to choose the
right publisher for my books, as
I didn’t have a great experience
with the first one. There are
thousands of publishers out
there on the Internet and it is a
learning process as well as an
ongoing effort to make sure
you are able to review and follow your royalty and sales status. With Xlibris, I am able to
do that so far. It is really important,” said Berger.
Berger will release her second children’s book, “Snazzy
Razzy”, in September 2015 and
will also hold another book
signing on September 5, 2015,
which will also be held at the
Market on Darlington Square
event.
Her books are filled with
full-color illustrations by local
artists and translators. “In
addition to the English version,
“Doozy the Lonely Firefly is
also translated in Spanish,
Chinese, and Japanese and all
of these versions were translated by local translators I know.
In everything I do, I give God
credit. With God, all things are
possible and without Him, I
could do nothing. I feel the
Lord places people in our lives
for whatever reason, as God
always knows what is best for
us more than we do. When I
was trying to find my translators and artists for my books, it
seems that they just seem to
‘show up’ in my life. What a
blessing it is to have great
friends and people you grow to
love and cherish, not only for
what they do for you, but for
who they are,” she said.
Berger’s first children’s book
has been on the best selling list
on Amazon.com and all of the
online bookstores as well as in
Barnes & Noble in Florence, SC
and in bookstores in the UK
and other countries. It is also in
the Darlington County School
System and the Darlington
County Public Library System.
Berger also does ghostwriting
for aspiring “want to be
authors” who have a transcript,
but are unsure how to go about
publishing their work.
“I do ghostwriting for those
who may have written a book
on paper but have no idea what
to do next. I enjoy what I do
and also love my career here at
the News and Press. Everyday
is a learning experience and
the people here are the best,”
said Berger.
“I appreciate all those who
have purchased my books over
the years and look forward to
seeing my second children’s
book published, “Snazzy
Razzy”, in September. I am not
an expert; however, there’s
more to publishing books than
just writing them. I have
learned a lot over the years
about the process of getting a
book published and I learned a
lot about the publishing
process. All of my works are
copyrighted and in the process
of being trademarked. It is not
an overnight process or a ‘get
rich’ tactic; but once you submit your copyright form to the
U.S. Copyright Office in
Washington, DC, then immediately your work is protected.
However, that still doesn’t
mean that someone won’t try
to claim it for this or her own. I
am very cautious and monitor
all of my books and work. You
just gave to go on faith and
trust God in all things. I hope to
see a lot of little smiling faces
on my August 1, 2015 book
signing for Doozy the Lonely
Firefly. I am not a famous
author like some of the other
great writers we all know, but I
will keep on being “me” and
bringing happiness and joy to
God’s little angels, the children
as long as the Lord allows me,”
Berger concluded.
Synopsis of “Doozy The
Lonely Firefly” by Charlotte K.
Brummett. (Berger):
Doozy the Lonely Firefly is a
beautiful little firefly that lives
high in the universe with Mr.
Moon and all of the stars and
planets. Doozy is lonely at
times because he doesn’t know
why he exists. One sunny day,
he travels down to Earth where
he meets a gorgeous little girl
and new little friend named,
Mercedes. She instills in him
his true purpose for existing.
The moral behind the story is
that God created all of us for a
purpose, even Fireflies. Bond
with your little ones in this
enchanting children’s book
filled with full-color illustrations. Doozy The Lonely Firefly
highlights themes of identity,
self-esteem, love, security, and
purpose. It is a wonderful
resource for parents, teachers,
or anyone who is young at
heart. To view Charlotte K.

book) book and book signing

Caring for Tricia Meinhold, right here at home.
Dr. Prashant Deshmane and Tricia Meinhold
The hands that heal, the ties that bind.
T
ricia Meinhold felt like she was on her last legs — or at
least her last knees.
The very active, very busy Vice President for the Student
Experience at Coker College had suffered increasing knee
pain for two years, and it was affecting both her work
and her life. The boundless energy on the job and great
enjoyment of outdoor activities she was known for were
being eroded by the constant and growing discomfort of
knees that would no longer carry her properly.
Tricia feared both surgery and the prospect of having
to go elsewhere to get it. But then she felt a wave of
relief when her primary care physician, Dr. Abraham
Areephanthu, told her there was no need to worry and no
need to travel. He referred her to Dr. Prashant Deshmane,
adult reconstruction/sports medicine orthopaedic surgeon
at Carolina Pines Regional Medical Center.
Upon review of her situation and diagnosis of the
problem, Dr. Deshmane performed same day bilateral knee
replacement surgery. Tricia’s damaged knees were replaced
with metal alloy joints glued in place. “It’s a state-of-the-art
procedure, and we’re well equipped and well experienced
to do it right here at Carolina Pines,” said Dr. Deshmane.
The results? “I feel like the bionic woman,” said Tricia.
“The difference is like night and day, and it has given me a
new lease on life.”
The medical hands that heal, the community ties that bind.
That’s Carolina Pines.
