The Darlington County
Accommodations
Tax
Committee met on Thursday,

tourism and overnight hotel
stays.
The accommodations tax
(A-tax) pool comes from the
state-mandated two-percent
tax on hotel and motel stays,
which is collected by the state

and channeled back to counties and municipalities. These
agencies then distribute A-tax
monies to applicants who can
demonstrably increase local
tourism.
This
year,
Darlington
County received 19 applications for funding, totaling
$122,055.00.
Applicants
included the following organizations and events:

Ahh choo! Pollen, pollen, everywhere…
By Jana E. Pye
Editor
[email protected]
Is your car covered in yellow
pollen?
Chances are you are sneezing, or your eyes are itchy, too.
It’s spring, and that means
high pollen counts; currently,
we are seeing tree pollen, with
Juniper, Elm, and Oak being the
top three allergens for our area.
A pollen count is the measurement of the number of
grains of pollen in a cubic meter
of air. As the pollen number
increases, people with allergies
will have an increase in their
allergic reaction.
Pollen counts are measured
from low, meaning they affect
few individuals, to high, meaning symptoms affect most allergy sufferers.
How can you check the allergy levels for Darlington
County?
Two great websites can help:
The Weather Channel at
weather.com and Pollen.com
both provide an accurate current allergy pollen levels for
our local area and the entire
nation.
You can view your four-day
forecast online or sign up for
allergy alerts.
Alerts are emailed when
pollen conditions reach moderate levels, which is the point
where most people experience
symptoms, such as hay fever.
Homeopathic remedies for
allergy suffers have helped
many allergy sufferers in a
tasty way, taking a few spoonfuls of local honey.
Other people have found
that using a neti pot with a
saline solution helps to cleanse
the pollen from their nose,
curbing allergy reactions. Take
care to properly cleanse the
neti pot, and to use prepared,
sterile saline solutions rather
than trying to create your own.

A call for a debate for
Darlington City Ward 2 by
Elaine Reed in the March 9,
2016 issue of the News and
Press was declined by Valarie
Boston, one of the candidates
for the council seat.
Shortly after a letter was
printed,
Anthony
Hall,
President of the Darlington
County NAACP called the
office of the News and Press
and offered to host one.
On Friday, March 11, 2016,
volunteers from Ms. Boston’s
campaign called to decline
the invitation.
Donald Gilliard, campaign
manager for Elaine Reed,
called the News and Press
with his response. “It is
important for the people of
Darlington to know where she
stands on the issues, and be
able to measure these two
candidates together side by
side to see their demeanor, to
see their knowledge of the
issues as it relates…this is a
serious job, as Darlington
tries to move forward.”
The following is the
response from Valarie Boston,
sent to the News and Press on
Friday, March 18, 2016:
“Participating in a "not
perfect" forum is not intriguing. I'm motivated more by
perfecting the City of
Darlington. This request is
deflecting from what matters
most, which is my clear ability to focus on solving issues;
rather then engaging in trivial dialogue.”
The Ward 2 election is
April 5th, 7 a.m.-7 p.m. to fill
the seat held by Mayor Gloria
C. Hines.

candidates for this seat in the

Lamar closes second
well due to radium
By Samantha Lyles
Staff Writer
[email protected]
As many parts of the nation are suffering from tree pollen, allergy sufferers in South Carolina are currently suffering from pollen from
Juniper, Elm and Oak trees.
MAP COURTESY OF THE WEATHER CHANNEL
The Town of Lamar held its
monthly council meeting March
14, and council member Mike
Lloyd revealed that the town has
closed a second well after trace
amounts of radium were detected by the South Carolina
Department of Health and
Environmental Control (DHEC).
The town closed its #1 well last
year for this same reason, and
the closing of the #2 well leaves
Lamar without an internally
generated water source.
“We have shut our water
system down and we are pur-
chasing
from
Darlington
County (Water and Sewer
Authority) since about the middle of last month,” said Lloyd.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive alkaline earth
metal, usually found in soil and
seawater in trace amounts due
to the decay of thorium or uranium isotopes. The amounts
found in Lamar's well water
were very small, but town officials are hoping to drill another
well – this one away from the
trouble spots they've encountered with the western spur of
the Middendorf Aquifer.

S.C. Rep. Williams holds press conference about fraudulent election fliers
State Representative Robert Williams (District 62) held a press conference March 18 at the Darlington County Courthouse to discuss the
recent discovery of fliers fraudulently claiming his endorsement of a candidate for Darlington County Sheriff.
“There is someone out there sending out letters in my name, impersonating me… it’s very degrading and low, and we don’t need that kind
of thing going on during (election) season,” said Williams.
He noted that all of the recovered false endorsement fliers have been turned over to law enforcement and the case is currently under investigation by SLED (South Carolina Law Enforcement Division).
“I have contacted SLED and they are going to do an inquiry to find out where these letters are being generated and who is behind it. We
take this seriously,” Williams said. “I want those who are perpetrating this to come to justice."

OP-ED
Friday and Sunday
By Bill shepard
By the time you are reading this Friday and Sunday will be
facing at your door! The calendar lists it as Good Friday and
Easter Sunday. Good Friday and Easter, what do they mean to
you? Answers would vary!
When I began writing this article, memories of my childhood were awakened and I found myself a way back in time. I
was a barefoot boy and following behind my Dad. We were at
work in the garden spot that had been recently plowed. Today
was planting was planting time for the gardeners on the village. Old Tom, the village handyman, had been busy in recent
days plowing the garden spots in preparation for this special
day that we all call Good Friday! But why, I ask, do we call
this Good Friday? There were many questions that needed an
answer.
It was on this Friday that the most unfair trial ever held
took place. The consequences of that trial led to the crucifixion of Jesus Chris, and that in a most shameful way.
The Gospel writer, Luke, reports it like this:
“And when they were come to the place, which is called
Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on
the right hand, and the other on the left.” Luke 23:44 KJV
The writer, Matthew, gives us a more descriptive picture of
all that was taking place at Calvary that day. Please read it in
Chapter 27 in the book off Matthew.
As we read all the horrible things that were happening on
that day, we are prone to ask, “Why call this day Good Friday?
What was good about it?” Would Peter and John, Jesus’ two
closest friends have called it good? Would Mary, the mother
of Jesus, who stood gazing upon the bruised and broken body
of her son, called such a day good? And the little band of followers, who no doubt were fearful for their own lives, would
they label it as Good Friday? It is hard to imagine that any of
those who experienced the events would have called it Good
Friday!
I went in search for answers, but found little information
as to when, why, and by whom the day got its title as being
Good Friday. Perhaps the best I could come away with was my
own, “That God loved His creation so much that He was willing to put His son through this suffering that we could be forgiven of our sins, and live with Him in eternity.” I will accept
that, and let it be.
Three crosses on a hilltop. On the middle cross, between
the two vile sinners, hangs the body of the Son of God…why?
The answer lies in the words this writer first learned in
Sunday School when he was a boy.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotton
son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but
have everlasting life.” John 3:16 KJV
At the little church where I attended as a boy, the preacher
would tell us about what took place on Sunday, after Friday.
The story of the Resurrection of Jesus always causes hope to
spring alive inside of the believer. Millions no doubt have
stood by the side of an open grave and heard the words:
“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as
other which have no hope! For if we believe that Jesus died
and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will
God bring with him. For the Lord himself shall descend from
Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and the
Trump of God.; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we
which are alive and remain, shall be caught up together with
them in the clouds, to meet with the Lord in the air, and so
shall we ever be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14, 1617.
Perhaps that is why we call what happened on Friday
before Easter, Good Friday!
Back to the barefoot that followed his Dad while planting
the early garden. It seemed there was a tradition among the
villagers that seed planted on Good Friday would germinate
and come forth from the ground as Jesus came forth. Also,
plant three seed to a hill, representing the Trinity – Father,
Son, Holy Ghost. “Put three seed to each hill,” my Dad would
say. Not one more, not one less!”
I will follow those instructions when planting my garden,
except when I slip and drop four seed. I just let them be, it is
much harder for an old man to stop than when he was a boy!
Happy Easter!

I’m writing to request a
favor from your readers. In a
college course I’m taking to
become a teacher, my professor has assigned a project to
learn about a town in the U.S.
She’s requiring that we do
this without the use of technology; rather, she wants us
to learn from the lived experiences of the people who know
the town.

A message from Senator
Gerald Malloy
District 29- Darlington,
Chesterfield, Lee and Marlboro
Counties
For the past week in the
state Senate, discussion has
been focused on S.977, a bill
relating to
refugees and
voluntary
resettlement
organizations. The
bill would
require
refugees to
register with the SC
Department of Social Services
within 30 days of entering the
state. The registration infor-

Carolina because it looks so
beautiful in the pictures! I am
always looking for new sites
to tour, and I am hoping to
hear what it is like in
Darlington.
I’d love to learn about
Darlington, and the characteristics of the town. What are
the primary jobs in
Darlington? What is education like? How does the
school system flow, for
instance, how many teachers
are in the building and how
many students are in an average class? Are there any particular foods that community
members enjoy eating? What
are the recipes to those foods?
What do you do for recreation
around the area? What are
the religions that are practiced in this community? Has
your town grown in population in recent years? What
businesses are available in
Darlington? What are the
average temperatures in the
summer and during the winter? Feel free to share real and
OP-ED
mation required will be maintained by the Department on a
database available to the public on the Department's
Internet website. Debate will
continue next week on the bill.
In agriculture news,
H.4717, a bill creating the S.C.
Farm Aid Fund, was reported
out of the Finance Committee
and will now go on the Senate
Calendar. The Fund was created to provide grants to
farmers who have suffered as
a result of the historic flooding that occurred in the fall of
2015. Work to aid our farming
community will continue in
the Senate in the near future.
For the past year, I have
worked on a bill restructuring
the degrees of arson, with a
goal of deterrence and to stiffen penalties to support our
state firefighters. The bill,
H.3545, was adopted by both
houses this week and will
soon become law. On
Wednesday, I was honored to
be inducted into the Society
of the Maltese Cross by the
South Carolina Firefighters’
Association. We were joined
and escorted to the ceremony
by Chief Jeff Burr of the
Hartsville Fire Department.
Once a year, the SC
Firefighters Association recognize a Senator and a member
of the House of
Representatives who share in
their values and who have
supported South Carolina
firefighters in meeting their
goals. I am truly honored and
grateful to be a part of this
Society and to be recognized
by our firefighters. I appreci-
valuable experiences from
your time in Darlington.
I am hoping to hear from
many of you via a letter in the
mail! Getting mail is so exciting, and I am looking forward
to receiving letters from the
members of the special place
of Darlington, South Carolina.

short-comings of open government laws and teach
people how to use them.”
That’s newspaper speak for
government secrecy – the
government keeping information secret from the citizens.
To media types this is a
really big deal and they justifiably talk about
Constitutional rights and
freedom on the press as the
bulwark against secret government. To most of us in
our daily life, this doesn’t
seem like a big deal – until
it is.
It’s about your not being
able to get a professional
license because there is a
‘problem with your record’
and the government agency
says they can’t tell you what
it is. It’s when your child
has an altercation with the
local police and someone
ends up hurt or even dead,
and the police won’t release
the tape from the dashboard
camera that shows what
really happened. It’s about
when legislators cut a sleazy
deal to enrich themselves
and their friends (and we
the taxpayers pay for it) but
the legislator is not required
to list the business dealing
on their ethics disclosure
report.
You get the picture.
Government in the sunshine
is a big deal.
And this battle between
the government and its citizens has deep roots in our
state. I believe that the
whole government in the
sunshine debate should be
decided on the basis of one
simple test: if the tax payers
paid for it, it should be public.
That means if a government agency has information, if government employees compiled or required the
information, if proposals,
contacts and payments are
made – then we as taxpayers
have a right to the information. Of course there have to
be rare allowances for personnel records and the very
occasional sensitive business negations (think Volvo
or Boeing deal), but before
a deal is done the public
deserves to know what are
the terms of the deal.
As common sense as this
principle is, too often that’s
not how governments work
in South Carolina, local or
state. Too many governments generally try and turn
things on its head and say
everything should be secret
unless we the taxpayers convince someone that it
should be made public.
They seem to forget they
work for us and we pay their
salary (and their vacation,
retirement, health care and
in many cases, their car).

Generally speaking, it’s
been the newspapers and
other media companies that
have fought the hardest for the
rights of citizens to have access
to government information.
You may have heard the term
FOIA; it strikes fear in the
hearts of government employees and joy in the hearts of the
media and open government
advocates.
FOIA stands for Freedom of
Information Act and it outlines the rules about what
government must disclose,
how often and at what cost. A
problem is that FOIA laws

Sam Wyche, the retired
coach of the Cincinnati
Bengals pro football team and
former quarterback for the

football team will be in
Hartsville on
Thursday, March 24, to do
two speaking engagements.
Since his retirement, coach
Wyche enjoys traveling
around the country to give
motivational speeches to
young student/athletes to
inspire them to reach their
goals and succeed in life.
He will be speaking to a
joint meeting of civic organizations in Hartsville at noon
at the Hartsville Country
Club: The host club, Kiwanis
and the Rotary, Lions, and
Pilot Clubs. Then he will go to
Hartsville High School to give
a motivational speech to all

individual FOIA requests.
Governments want looser disclosure rules; media and citizen groups want tighter disclosure rules.
As difficult and murky as
are the FOIA laws in South
Carolina, there is reason for
hope. A new generation of
political leaders is coming to
power and they have a different mindset from politicians of the past. In the age
of Google and big data, their
default attitude is ‘release it’
and not the traditional government position of ‘hold it.’
And part of what makes
this change so hopeful is
that FOIA and open government issues are becoming
increasingly non-ideological.

Bengals playing quarterback.
He played in the Bengals’ first
playoff game ever, in 1970,
against Johnny Unitas and
the Baltimore Colts. Traded to
the Washington Redskins in
1972, he played on three
straight playoff teams, including Super Bowl VII. Traded to
the Detroit Lions in 1974, he
finished his playing career
with the St. Louis Cardinals
and Buffalo Bills in 1976.
Coach Wyche joined his
former Bengals’ coach Bill
Walsh in 1979 and drafted
Joe Montana in their first
draft. He coached the passing
game in the 1981 Super Bowl
XVI win over the Cincinnati
Bengals. In 1984 he became
the head coach of the Indiana
Hoosiers in the Big Ten. A
year later he was named as
the new head coach of the
Cincinnati Bengals. Wyche
combined Coach Walsh’s
“West Coast Offense” with his
“No Huddle” offense and the
Boomer Esiason led Bengals’
offense was the best in the
NFL for eight straight years.
Wyche was the head coach of
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
from 1982 until joining Marv
Albert on the NBC broadcasts
of the NFL in 1996.
In 1996 he replaced Mike
Dikta on the NFL on NBC pregame show. Wyche joined
CBS in 1997 with game day
partner Kevin Harlan. While
living in Cincinnati, Coach
Wyche developed a reputation for believing in living the
principles of Jesus Christ literally. During the holidays,
he roamed the streets of the
city looking for homeless
people to invite to his home
for dinner with his family.
Wyche has been a volunteer for the Pickens High
School varsity football team
for six years with a two year
break in 2004-2006 when he

Lloyd said the town is applying for grants and loans to help
finance the establishment of a
new well on the eastern edge of
town. Thus far, Lamar has
applied for a Rural Infrastructure
Association grant of $500,000,
and an SRF (State Revolving
Fund) grant of $800,000. Even if
the town receives full funding
from these requests, Lamar will
still be on the hook for a substantial loan.
“That would leave us maybe
having to borrow $200,000 to
fund this project,” said Lloyd.
Also at this meeting, Norm
Steadman of the Greater
Darlington
Chamber
of
Commerce spoke about upcoming events in the county, including Administrative Professional's
Day on April 27, a golf tournament on May 13 and encouraged
Lamar vendors to take part in the
July 4 “Freedom Fest” at the
Darlington Raceway.
Steadman asked council to
contact him at the chamber about
events of local interest to better
incorporate Lamar into the county's business community.
“I want to meet people and be
a part of things, especially in
places like Lamar and Society
Hill,” said Steadman.

James “Jim” Lewis Turner ,
Jr., age 46, died Saturday,
March 19, 2016 at the McLeod
Hospice House. Jim was born
December 12, 1969 in
Annapolis, MD, son of Anne
Hofner Turner and the late
James L. Turner, Sr.
Jim lived most of his life and
Maryland and had recently
moved to Darlington. He
enjoyed planting flowers and
was always in the yard planting
or pruning.
In addition to his mother of
Darlington, he is survived by
his children, Justin Turner and
Brendan Turner, both of
Maryland,
two
brothers;
Richard (Teresa) Turner of
Darlington, Matthew Turner of
Virginia and a sister, Tracy

A native of Hartsville,
administrator Terie Rousseau
and her husband Bob moved to
Hartsville last year from
Naples, Florida where she had
been teaching at Florida Gulf
Coast University and Arizona
State University. “While living
in Naples, Florida, we were
exposed to the Montessori
Method of learning and were
ready to enroll our daughter
when we moved here, but the
closest Montessori schools are
in Camden and Florence. After
talking to other parents and
educators in the community, I
quickly came to realize that
opening a Montessori school
here in Hartsville was my purpose and I am committed
100% to the academy and this
community,” says Rousseau.
The Montessori Method
emphasizes multiage learning
in peer groups, whole-body
learning, and most importantly, putting wonder and discovery in the hands of the students. MDAH is an education
institution, not a daycare; lead
teachers above infant level are
required to have, at the minimum, bachelor’s degrees. Lead
teachers are also Montessori
certified, which means they
undergo 400-500 contact
hours and an on-site internship evaluated by Montessori
professionals. Unique to
MDAH is all assistant teachers
will possess Basic Montessori
Foundation and Principles
training.
South Carolina has the
most registered Montessori
schools in the country and
MDAH’s tuition is $150 less
per year than the average private Montessori school in
South Carolina.

beautiful and loves hugs. Alert and curious, Blanche does an
excellent job in meeting new folks hoping her cheerful and
friendly personality will make you feel like a million bucks.
Be forewarned however, her gentle purr will likely purr-suade
you to make her a part of your family!
Very bouncy and playful, Blacky seems more like a puppy
than the middle-aged guy he is! He is a cute guy, friendly
with people and smaller than he appears in photos.
Unfortunately for Blacky, his years spent on a chain seem to
have left him without social skills. He would most likely do
best in a home without other dogs and cats. With his fun,
bouncy energy and loving nature Blacky is really ALL you in
need for a one pet home! 7 yrs old; male; chow mix; 33 lbs

Bayer launches Operation K9 Care to provide free wellness care
for service dogs aiding United States veterans with PTSD
Nationwide program reduces financial burden of service dog ownership for K9s For Warriors graduates
Bayer is expanding its partnership with K9s For Warriors
— a nonprofit organization
that pairs specially trained
shelter dogs with veterans suffering from post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) and/or
traumatic brain injury (TBI) —
to further support the lifelong
bond of the organization’s
graduate teams: warriors and
their service dogs.
Throughout 2016, Bayer will
connect K9s For Warriors alumni with veterinary clinics and
pet retailers across the country
that agree to provide free
health and wellness goods and
services needed to care for each
warrior’s service dog. The program, called Operation K9
Care, is completely free to the
veterans and ensures that all
those who graduate from K9s
For Warriors can more easily
afford to keep their life-saving
service dogs happy and
healthy, which in turn, helps
these veterans live a fulfilling
life.
For the veterans who graduate from K9s For Warriors,
their service dogs are truly
their lifelines. The combined
efforts of the veterinary clinics
and pet retailers participating
in Operation K9 Care will help
to alleviate the financial burden associated with caring for a
service dog. Veterans will
instead be able to focus on their
journey with their service dogs,
healing and regaining their
independence.
K9s For Warriors is the only
service dog organization for
post-9/11
veterans
that
requires them to live and train
on-site with their service dogs
before going home. K9s For
Warriors’ unique program
offers 120 hours of hands-on
training with certified dog
trainers, housing, meals, veterinary care, training equipment, and peer-to-peer support
at no cost to the veteran. The
program reports a 100 percent
success rate in suicide
prevention in the graduates
of the program. What’s more,
66 percent of warrior graduates report a reduction in medications.
“These service dogs are life
savers,” said Shari Duval,
President and Founder of K9s
For Warriors. “We’re losing
about 8,000 American military
heroes each year due to suicide, which is heart breaking
and unacceptable. What these
dogs can do for veterans is a
miracle, and we thank Bayer
for connecting us with the veterinary clinics and pet retailers
that are helping to eliminate
the expense of service dog
ownership for our nation’s
heroes.”
Veterinary clinics participating in Operation K9 Care will
offer a free health and wellness
plan that includes services such

DARLINGTON BLANKS MANNING IN REGION OPENER
PHOTOS BY DRAKE HORTON
By Drake Horton
Contributing Writer
It was the start that head
coach Dennis Gearhart was
looking for.
Opening up region play at
home against the Manning
Monarchs this past Tuesday,
March 15, the Darlington
Falcons won easily, defeating
the Monarchs 10-0 in just five
innings of play.
“We will take a win where
we can get it,” Gearhart said
after the win. “Right now it’s
about building confidence and
getting our guys in a position to
learn how to play the game the
right way.”
Leading the way for
Darlington was pitcher Brycen
Brown, who threw five, complete, shutout innings, picking
off two Manning runners and
striking out six, including the
entire side in the fourth.
“The whole theme going
into the game was to limit the
errors and we didn’t have any
errors so that helped,” Brown
said, reflecting on what helped
his pitching performance. “We

won the game on limiting the
errors, nothing on my part; it
was a complete team effort.”
Brown’s contributions did
not solely come from the
mound, however. He was just
as effective at the plate, going
3-4 with three RBIs including
the game-ending RBI in the
fifth as it pushed the Falcons
10th run across the plate,
therefore invoking the mercy
rule.
“I’ve been seeing the ball
really well this season,” Brown
said.
The game was over before it
ever really got started. After
holding Manning scoreless in
the top half of the first inning,
Darlington capitalized on three
Monarch errors to bat through
the entire lineup and scored
four runs in the bottom half of
the opening inning.
“We have to take advantage
of guys on base,” Gearhart said.
“If we have a guy on second we
have to be able to move him to
third by putting the bat on the
ball, by taking advantage of an
error they make, by a good base
hit, we have to move runners
and I thought we did a better
job of that tonight.”
Darlington scored at least
one run in every inning, scoring one each in the second and
fourth while pushing two
across the plate in the third and
fifth.
It was Brown who was
responsible for the run in the
second with his second RBI of
the game coming off a single to
centerfield
while
Rylan
Weatherford was credited with
a RBI groundout in the fourth.
In the third inning left fielder Taylor Spangler punished
Manning with a little two-out
magic, blasting a two-RBI double to the left centerfield wall.
Justin Mack, scoring Jared
Boswell on a groundout and
Brown, knocking in Garrett
Revell for the game-ending run
were the two runs in the fifth
inning.

Taking care of man’s best friend
How much is that doggie in the window?
By Jana E. Pye

There is no such thing as a free
puppy.
The cost of owning a dog in the
United States has gone up steadily each
year. According to American Pet
Products Association, the average cost
per month in 2001 was $28.50; in 2015,
the number jumped to $60.59.
A story posted on CNBC last fall by
Michelle Castillo, The American Pet
Products Association estimated $60.59
billion will be spent on pets in 2015, up
about 25 percent from five years ago.
More U.S. households own dogs than
any other pet. They tend to be the most
expensive domestic animal. Basic annual expenses per dog are expected to
reach $1,641.
On WalletHub.com, John S. Kiernan
shared the average dog owner spends
roughly $180 each month on their dog.
And that number rises for some
breeds, due to grooming requirements,
and common medical problems associated with the breed.
Initial vet check ups for dogs range
from $60 to $150; across the nation, the
average spay/neuter surgery is roughly
$180.
Most animal clinics and veterinarians recommend the following for preventative care to extend the health and
well being of your dog, and avoid
painful – and costly – medical problems:
Annual vaccinations and check ups
Teeth cleaning (especially as the dog
ages)
Grooming and nail trimming
Heartworm prevention
Flea prevention
A Sylvain Labs report in the fall of
2014 suggested that there was a link
between the fact that more city-dwelling
couples were getting dogs and more partners waiting until they were older to have
kids, as well as the decreased number of
children per family. The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention reported
in 2013, the latest year for which information was available, the average
woman was 26 when she had her first
child. In 1970, it was a little over 21.
How does that compare to owning a
cat? According to reports by the ASPCA,
the total first year cat costs are $1,035
vs. total first year dog costs are $1,843
(not including breeder fees.)
My dog ate
my wallet!
By Jana E. Pye

Caring for our beloved dogs is
becoming an American obsession. From grooming parlors to
pet clothing, boarding centers to
dog parks, our love for our four
legged friends knows no bounds.
And caring for them is not
always cheap!
Pet food, once relegated to
generic sacks from the feed store
and a small section of the local
grocery store is now something
that is a topic around the coffee
shop, and social media.
Brody, pictured here, is 3
years old. He is a healthy chap
that sometimes has a sensitive
tummy, and has allergies to certain grasses.
“We have have found he
doesn’t do well with many
grains, so we give him food with
a high percentage of protein,”
say his owners, Jade Longfellow
(who happens to be my daughter) and her boyfriend, John
Teuton.
Brody also has an allergy to
some grasses, which often lands
him a trip to the veterinary office
for medicated creams.
My neighbors, Jayne & Rudy
Tyner own a small Yorkshire
Terrier named Chance. Chance is
an adorable little fellow, and
keeping his spiffy puppy cut
means frequent trips to the
groomers.
“He’s our baby,” says Jayne.
“We love to spoil him!”
That means coats and
sweaters to keep him warm on
walks, plenty of toys, and a special doggie bed just for him.
A new expense occurred for
the Tyner family recently, when
Chance developed a habit of
stealing eyeglasses…and subsequently chewing them to bits.
“Between that, and him loving to run off to greet people –
he’s so friendly! – we decided to
take him to get some training.”
said Jayne.
Believe it or not, dog training
is not only for large Labrador
retrievers. From celebrity pet
trainers like Cesar Millan to right
here in the Pee Dee, pet owners
have found relief from learning
how to train their dog to be a
more polite member of the family.
When preparing this story for
the paper, I looked around my
own house for evidence of “pet
spoiling” – and oh, do I fall into
that category. My two cats have
a tall carpeted climbing and napping station, two scratching
posts, ball toy, and a basket of
catnip toys and balls with little
bells. My dog, Taffy the
Schnoodle, has a dog bed, a
huge basket of toys, and enough
clothes to rival a little girl’s doll
trousseau.
I thought back to my Great
Grandmother, a dyed-in-thewool frugal Yankee. What would
she have thought of this current
doggie obsession?
“Dogs belong outdoors,” she
used to say. “That’s why God
made them with thick coats.”
But, Grammy didn’t know
how cute dog photos on
Instagram & Facebook would be!
And, for dog lovers like me,
there is nothing like coming
home to a dog that loves you.
Advice from the Doc
By samantha Lyles
staff Writer
[email protected]
Dr. John Davis of Darlington’s
Town & Country Veterinary
Clinic is a notoriously forthright
and plainspoken fellow,
with a wealth of experience and plenty of
“common sense” advice
to share with pet owners. Here, in no particular order, are a few of
Dr. Davis’ bits of canine
care wisdom to keep
your four-legged friend
comfortable through
spring and summer.
1. Take your dog to the vet
regularly and keep their vaccinations and medications up to
date. That annual visit can keep
your best buddy healthy and
head off medical problems
before they become chronic.
2. When grooming a dog, be
sure to leave at least 1/4 or 1/2
inch of hair to shield their skin
and prevent blistering when
they’re out galavanting in the
sunshine. Make sure your outdoor pets have a shady spot to
rest and cool off.
3. Don’t bathe a dog too
often, since frequent bathing
strips their skin of natural oils and can leave
them dry, itchy, and full
of dander. Only bathe
Fido when he’s noticeably dirty or smelly.
4. Feed your dog
only the amount prescribed by the pet food
manufacturer, since
overfeeding and underfeeding can adversely affect
their health. Guidelines based
on pet weight and age are usually printed on the pet food
bag.
5. If serving your dog
canned food, or mixing wet
food with dry, don’t leave the
wet food out in summer heat for
more than a couple of hours or
the food can sour and cause
stomach upset.

dog would be comfortable
with it.
Kai — It’s hip and means
“ocean” in Hawaiian.

Grooming Your Pet
Grooming is an important
part of caring for your pet
and keeping him or her
healthy. Both cats and dogs
need regular brushing, and
animals with longer hair
(e.g., , poodles, Yorkshire
terriers) require frequent
trips to a professional
groomer. Fur that becomes
matted can cause serious
health issues for your pet.
Dirt and oils can accumulate
under mats and cause
painful skin infections, and
the mats themselves can be
painful as they pull and
stretch the skin underneath.
Severe matting can even
affect your pet’s ability to
see, walk and eat normally.
Long- and medium-haired
pets generally require daily
brushing. Short-haired pets
should usually be brushed
once or twice per week. The
frequency of professional
grooming and haircuts
varies depending on your
dog’s breed. Consult your
groomer or veterinarian for
a recommendation.
All dogs also require regular bathing to keep their skin
and hair coat clean and
healthy. The frequency of
bathing depends on your
dog’s lifestyle, breed and
coat type. Ask your veterinarian to recommend the
best bathing regimen for
your dog. Also, always use a
shampoo specifically formu-
lated for dogs. Many human
shampoos can be too harsh
for your dog’s skin. If your
dog has itchy, red, dry, flaky
or oily skin, you should consult your veterinarian.
Since cats groom themselves, they generally do not
need to be bathed, unless
they have fleas or a medical
condition that warrants it.
Before bathing your cat,
always consult your veterinarian.
Pets also require regular
nail trims. For dogs and
cats, long nails can become
painful and interfere with
their ability to walk. Keeping
nails short also helps you
protect your floors and furniture from being scratched
and your clothes from being
snagged. Here's what you
need to know to groom your
pet's nails.

The top 10 trendy
names for female dogs:
Elsa — It grows on you.
Bella — It was the most
popular female puppy name
last year.
Stella — Try shouting the
name like Marlon Brando in “A
Streetcar Named Desire.”
Quinn — A bit masculine,
but some female dogs act like
tomboys.
Sophie — Reserved for the
cutest puppies.
Ivy — Yes, somewhat like
Beyoncé’s kid, Blue Ivy.
Charlie — A fitting name
for your little angel.
Aurora — The Roman
goddess of dawn. An appropriate name for a female dog who
gets you out of bed before the
alarm clock does.
Avery — The name has a
British ring to it.
Lila — A fitting name for a
fluffy pet.

The 150-year-old artifacts
were found in the Great Pee
Dee River the Confederate
Mars Bluff Naval Yard. Two of
the three cannons raised out of
the river were Confederate
Brooke Rifle cannons while
the other was a captured
Union Dahlgren cannon. They
each weigh about 15,000
pounds. The cannons were
used during Union General
William T. Sherman's march
through the Carolinas in 1865,
researchers said. The
Confederate troops threw the
cannons off of the C.S.S. Pee
Dee gunboat to avoid capture
by the Union. The ship was
later destroyed in the river,

Manga @ the Library!
By Jimmie Epling
Director
Darlington County Library System
If I asked you to name some
Japanese imports to the United
States, I’ll bet the first things
that will come to mind are cars,
electronics, and, of course,
Godzilla movies (can you name
the famous actor added in the
recut “Americanized” version
of the first Godzilla movie?). A
teen or twenty-something
might also add the very popular graphic novels, some would
call them comic books, which
you read from RIGHT to LEFT,
known as manga. Because of
their popularity with these age
groups, the Darlington County
Library System, between the
Darlington and Hartsville
Branches, has one of the largest
manga collections in the state.
Never heard of manga? If
you are a Baby Boomer or a
Gen-Xer, your lack of pop culture knowledge in this case is
understandable.
Japanese
publishers looked to America
in the mid-1990s as a possible
market for these graphic novels and found a ready audience
in the college age and younger
crowd at the time. For some,
like me, discovering manga
came by accident with the animated cartoon version of
manga, anime. You may have
stumbled upon them yourself
while channel surfing and
thought, “those are definitely
not Hanna Barbera or Disney
style cartoons,” and moved on
to something else. I caught the
series “Star Blazers,” aka
“Space Cruise Yamato,” this
way when it was first broadcast in the very early 80s and
was fascinated.
So what makes manga so
special? It is not just the books
being printed so they must be
read as they are in Japan,
which is to us from back to
front. First, let’s start with the
“manga style” artwork. It is
very distinctive! Possibly the
most notable feature of the
characters are their eyes. They
are often large! There is a hint
of a nose. Lips are usually
nonexistent as the mouth is
just a thin line. The jawline is
wide, softly curved, and slightly pointed. The hair is big and
sometimes appears to be in
bad need of comb. The men
and women do not have
extremely muscular bodies.
The characters tend to be on
the lean and small side for
their gender. Each character’s
fashion taste is unique as well.
Each panel is rendered in a
"cinematographic" technique
that reveals details of action
bordering on slow motion,
speed lines, and rapid zooms
from distance to close-up
shots. You will know it when
you see it!
In Japan, manga is not just
for kids. In the US, most
comics were designed for
young children between the
ages of 9 and 13 until the
advent of telling stories for
adults through the use of an
illustrated or graphic novel,
such as those done by Alan
Moore. That was not the case
with manga in Japan. There
are several major types of
manga, each with its own
unique audience. Writers and
artists target a specific group
with their story and artwork.
Kodomo is for children.
Shonen is for boys ages 12-18.
Shoujo is for girls age 12-18.
Josei is for mainly adult working women over age 20.
Seinen is for young men
between the ages of 18 and 30.
This form of storytelling is
very popular in Japan with up
to 40% of all book & magazine
sales being manga.
There is a reason for the success of manga. Manga books
differ from the typical US
comic book in that they are
more like novels. They are the
vision of a single author. Just
as with any novel, the story
may be action-adventure, comedy, historical, horror, mystery,
romance, science fiction/fantasy, or suspense. Worlds, characters, and plots are allowed to
grow and develop in the story
because manga is long form
storytelling. This is possible
because a manga story is usually serialized weekly or biweekly
over a long period of time. This
requires cliffhangers to be regularly built into the story to
draw the reader along and to
want more. These individual
episodes are later collected and
published in book form. This
has resulted in stories that run
General Dog Care
A dog can be a wonderful
addition to any home, but
whether you're an experienced
pet parent or a first-time
adopter, it's important to keep
your canine companion's
health and happiness a top priority. Below are some useful
tips for all dog parents.
Feeding
Puppies eight to 12 weeks
old need four meals a day.
Feed puppies three to six
months old three meals a day.
Feed puppies six months to
one year two meals a day.
When your dog reaches his
first birthday, one meal a day
is usually enough.
For some dogs, including
larger canines or those prone
to bloat, it's better to feed two
smaller meals.
Premium-quality dry food
provides a well-balanced diet
for adult dogs and may be
mixed with water, broth or
canned food. Your dog may
enjoy cottage cheese, cooked
egg or fruits and vegetables,
but these additions should not
total more than ten percent of
his daily food intake.
Puppies should be fed a
high-quality, brand-name
puppy food (large breed puppy
foods for large breeds). Please
limit "people food," however,
because it can result in vitamin
and mineral imbalances, bone
and teeth problems and may
cause very picky eating habits
and obesity. Clean, fresh water
should be available at all
times, and be sure to wash
food and water dishes frequently.
Exercise
Dogs need exercise to burn
calories, stimulate their
minds, and stay healthy.
Individual exercise needs vary
based on breed or breed mix,
sex, age and level of health.
Exercise also tends to help
dogs avoid boredom, which
can lead to destructive behaviors. Supervised fun and
games will satisfy many of
your pet's instinctual urges to
dig, herd, chew, retrieve and
chase.
Grooming
Help keep your dog clean
and reduce shedding with frequent brushing. Check for
fleas and ticks daily during
warm weather. Most dogs
don't need to be bathed more
than a few times a year. Before
bathing, comb or cut out all
mats from the coat. Carefully
rinse all soap out of the coat,
or the dirt will stick to soap
residue.
Handling
To carry a puppy or small
dog, place one hand under the
dog's chest, with either your
forearm or other hand supporting the hind legs and
rump. Never attempt to lift or
grab your puppy or small dog
by the forelegs, tail or back of
the neck. If you do have to lift
a large dog, lift from the
underside, supporting his
chest with one arm and his
rear end with the other.
all drafts and off the floor. A
training crate or dog bed is
ideal, with a clean blanket or
pillow placed inside. Wash the
dog's bedding often. If your
dog will be spending a lot of
time outdoors, be sure she has
access to shade and plenty of
cool water in hot weather, and
a warm, dry, covered shelter
when it's cold.
“Bleach” follows the adventures of the hotheaded teenager Ichigo Kurosaki after he
obtains the powers of a Soul
Reaper. His new-found powers
force him to take on the duties
of defending humans from evil
spirits, guiding departed souls
to the afterlife, and visiting various ghostly realms of existence.
Jimmy Kudo is a high school
detective who sometimes
works with the police to solve
cases in “Case Closed.” During
an investigation, he is attacked
and forced by members of the
syndicate
Black
crime
Organization to swallow a poison that transforms him into a
child instead of killing him. He
continues fighting crime with
his friends under the pseudonym Conan Edogawa to keep
his true identity a secret.
“Fullmetal Alchemist” is set
in a fictional world after the
European
Industrial
Revolution in which alchemy is
an advanced scientific technique. The story follows the
Elric brothers, Edward and
Alphonse, on their search for a
philosopher's stone to restore
their bodies after a failed
attempt to bring their mother
back to life using alchemy.
“Shaman King” follows the
adventures of Yoh Asakura as
he attempts to hone his shaman
skills to become the Shaman
King by winning the Shaman
Fight, a battle held once every
500 years between competing
shamans.

Consider filling out an adoption application to be preapproved, and request certain
types of pets or breeds you are
interested – and note if you
are looking for a puppy/kitten

Medicines and Poisons
Never give your dog medication that has not been prescribed by a veterinarian. If
you suspect that your animal
has ingested a poisonous substance, call your veterinarian
or the ASPCA Animal Poison
Control Center for 24-hour
animal poison information at
(888) 426- 4435.
Licensing and
Identification
Follow your community’s
licensing regulations. Be sure
to attach the license to your
dog’s collar. This, along with
an ID tag and implanted
microchip or tattoo, can help
secure your dog’s return
should she become lost.
Spaying and Neutering
Female dogs should be
spayed and male dogs
neutered by six months of age.
Please visit our Spay/Neuter
Your Pet page to learn more.
Heartworm Prevention
With the mosquito predictions high for this area at an all
time high, there has never
been a more critical time for
your dog to be on a heartworm
prevention regime. Talk to
your veterinarian about what
is best for your dog.
Fleas and Ticks
Daily inspections of your
dog for fleas and ticks during
the warm seasons are important. Use a flea comb to find
and remove fleas. There are
into dozens of volumes. Some
are now well over the 100 volume mark. If you begin reading a manga series (note: each
volume is usually a fast read),
be prepared for the long haul to
discover its ending.
If you are ready to take the
plunge into a truly new world
of reading, you can give it a try
for free at the Library. Here is a
list of some of the manga series
we have at the Library.
In “Attack on Titan,” humanity lives in cities surrounded by
enormous walls to defend itself
from the Titans, gigantic
humanoids that eat humans
seemingly without reason. The
story centers on three who join
the military to fight the Titans.
As the story unfolds, the truth
about the Titans are revealed
and other characters join the
fight.

DHS NHS McLeod
Eleven members of the Darlington High School National Honor Society visited McLeod Children's Hospital on March to see
first hand the benefits of their fundraising efforts. Throughout the month of January, the students sold hot cocoa in their
schools for the pediatric patients of McLeod Children's Hospital and raised $323.63 in total. During their visit, the students
also spent time with a few patients, giving each of them a teddy bear.
In addition to raising money for McLeod Children's Hospital, the students also sold bracelets and presented the McLeod
Foundation with a $107 check for the McLeod Center for Cancer Treatment and Research.

“From Cardboard Cutouts
to Real People – Character
Development” is one of a
series of free writing workshops to be offered on the
fourth Tuesday of each month
at 6:30 p.m. at the Darlington
Branch of the Darlington
County Library System.
Discover the types of characters you need in a story
besides the main character.
Learn how to determine the
proper point-of-view for the
story, why a character arc is
important, and how to define
three-dimensional characters.
Lastly, understand why dialogue can make or break your
character, your scene, and the
entire book.
These free introductory
writing workshops are taught
by C. Hope Clark, a freelance
writer, author of the Carolina
Slade and Edisto Island mystery series, and editor of a
weekly newsletter service that
reaches 40,000+ writers.
The remaining workshops
will be held at the Darlington
Branch on the fourth Tuesday
of every month at 6:30 p.m.
They are:
“Write It...Read It...Rewrite
It...Repeat!
Successful
Editing.” April 26th.
Learn how to start with
self-editing and then move
out to peers, mentors, beta
readers, and professional editors. Learn the different types
of editing and how to recognize those flaws that differentiate the writings of a novice
from a veteran.
“Get Your Story Out There! Getting Published.” May 24th.
Find out why having an
online presence is essential in
order to be successful and get
published, regardless of the
route you take. There are pros
and cons when it comes
choosing between indie and
traditional publishing you
need to know. Learn the differences between indie/selfpublishing, small press traditional, larger press tradition-

Where is this in
Darlington County?
The photo from March 9 was of
an adorable sign on the
Hartsville Highway south of
Society Hill with a Palmetto Tree
and crescent moon that said simply, “Hey, Y’all” – our favorite
saying!
The reader that guessed correctly
was Rosina Robinson.
Can you guess where in
Darlington County this week’s
photo was taken? Please send

Good luck!
