Rounding out the pack, Dr. Ben Carson got 523 votes, and Ohio Governor John Kasich received 328 votes.

By Jana E. Pye Editor [email protected] Darlington County has been the location of several “meth lab” busts in recent months, and in an effort to educate readers about them we have provided a description of the dangers they pose to the community, listed after the reports of the latest law enforcement update below. The Darlington County Sheriff’s Office was contacted with a complaint about a suspected methamphetamine lab at residence on Hoffman Road in Hartsville on February 15, 2016. According to reports from the DCSO, when deputies arrived on scene they immediately identified signs and items used in a methamphetamine lab. The Darlington County Drug Enforcement Unit and Hartsville Fire Department were contacted immediately and responded to the scene. A search warrant was obtained for the residence and an active methamphetamine lab was discovered, along with methamphetamine finished product, needles, and other drug paraphernalia. A specialized hazardous materials cleanup crew also responded (“haz mat”), for clean-up and disposal of the volatile material.

Florence-Darlington Tech and Darlington County Schools expand college credit program By Samantha Lyles Staff Writer [email protected] Officials from the Darlington County School District (DCSD) and FlorenceDarlington Technical College (FDTC) formally entered into a groundbreaking partnership on February 15, agreeing to offer dual-credit courses at the B.A. Gary Educational Complex, located in the Darlington County Adult Education and Darlington County Intervention School campus on Magnolia Street. “This is really a historic event for us. The folks in Darlington County are great educational partners,” said Dr. Ben Dillard, FDTC president, adding that he and DCSD superintendent Dr. Eddie Ingram are very happy to open this pathway for students get a jump on their educational goals. “I think we both are excited about the opportunity for your graduates to end up with at least their first year of college (credits), and I understand this GED scoring changes mean hundreds could receive diploma By Samantha Lyles Staff Writer [email protected] Hundreds of South Carolina GED (Graduate Equivalency Diploma) testers could be affected by a recent recalibration of performance levels announced last month. “Back in January of 2014, the GED test changed and was completely computerized. Since the test is an equivalency exam, it is supposed to exactly mirror what high school seniors are doing. Now here we are eighteen months later and we find out the test was a little too rigorous,” explains Chuck Miller, director of Darlington County Adult Education. As a result, the GED Testing Service announced a recalibration to the GED test passing score and the addition of two new performance levels. In most states, the passing score for high school equivalency is moving from 150 to 145, so all South Carolina testers who missed the passing mark by five points or less during that 18 month period may actually qualify to receive their GED. “There may be a bunch of folks out there who have graduated and don't even realize it,” says Miller. The total number of South Carolina resident who earned GED credentials during 2014 and 2015 will increase from 3,512 to 4,083 with the addition of the new enhanced scores. Currently, the number of affected test-takers stands at 57, and each of them will be awarded their South Carolina High School Equivalency Diploma. The GED Diplomas based on the new cut score will be dated December 31, 2015. Technology updates are required to process this new information, so it may take several weeks for the new cut scores to be incorporated in the South Carolina Department of Education’s GED database. GED ON 3A spring we're going to have some that will graduate from high school along with their associate degree,” said Dillard. Presently, FDTC and DCSD offer a number of dual-credit courses to high school students, and several Darlington High seniors will graduate in 2016 with both their high school diploma and a two-year associate degree. “It's great that Tech is branching out into the community with these satellite sites, and it's even better that it's here on school district proper- ty so we're able to kill two birds with one stone,” said DCSD Adult Education director Chuck Miller. “Our seniors will be able to take one course and have it count twice – as when their English IV class counts at Tech as their Entrance to English.” Miller said the familiar and convenient location may also help remove some of the fear that prevents adult students and GED testers from pursuing college degrees.

A dog park is coming to Hartsville By Jana E. Pye Editor [email protected] The Friends of the Hartsville Dog Park and their Hartsville Puppy Pals (collectively known as “Team Bark”) are eagerly planning a future dog park in Hartsville, and are hoping dog owners will help join their team. Earlier this year, the City of Hartsville purchased land for a dog park, located at the corner of Coker and Railroad Avenues, directly across from the walking path with fountains. The area is already is a favorite for dog owners, with several dog water stations and pet waste stations equipped with receptacles for plastic pet waste bags. The dog park, however, will allow dogs to roam freely “off leash” in a safely enclosed area. A separate area will be designated for small dogs. Proof of vaccinations will be required, to alleviate fears of health issues. Sponsorship opportunities are available (including shared or partial sponsorships) with special recognition on a “thank you” sign at the future park: Map of the proposed dog park in Hartsville. • benches: $1000 each • water fountains: $2500 each • agility equipment: $250 Each • Mutt Mix Boxes with trash receptacle: $500 per unit • Fencing: $1000 per section • general donations: $25 $100 with Recognition Each donation will be tax deductible, as charitable contributions to governmental units are fully tax-deductible under section 170(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code if made for a public purpose.

WWW.NEWSANDPRESS.NET OP-ED Saturday Night Live! By Bill shepard Just when I think I have written all there is to write about Darlington and the way it was when I was a boy, I get a letter from someone in Darlington and memories begin to flow. This week, I received a letter from a long time Darlingtonian and it stirred a lot of memories. Thank you Mr. Sam Grant, Jr. for your letter! I have read the letter over and over, and each time I feel that I am back on the “Corner” at the west end of Pearl Street in my hometown! Though there is a little difference in our ages, we seem to be on the same page. You mentioned your Dad’s Barber Shop on the corner and I recalled the times I sat in his barbershop and he cut my hair. The cost of a haircut was .35 cents! Also, you mentioned Epworth Methodist Church, and I recalled going there with my Dad when I was a little boy. The preacher preached a long sermon, and I stretched out on the pew and went to sleep. The last paragraph in your letter grabbed hold of me, and would not let go! You asked if I remember Doc’s Place on Pearl and Bunyun Hill’s filling station on the corner of Pearl and Washington? How could I forget? I went to my files and found the following article that was printed in this paper a way back when. I do not know how long it was. I bet it will stir some old memories; here it is again! Doc’s Place Holds Fond Memories for Many In that part of Darlington where Washington Street intersects with Pearl, forming an intersection, there was a spot that came to be known as “The Corner.” In the early ‘30s, and possibly before, a service station occupied that spot. It was an ideal location for such a business. Pearl was and remains a direct route in and out of town. The problem was in those days, that one could count on his fingers and toes the number of gasoline users (cars!) owned by the villagers. Gasoline sold for .15 cents a gallon, so it is understandable that the “service man” needed another income, as well as something to keep him busy. A young man (last name Hill, I can’t recall his first) operated the station. He developed a deep interest in the repair of radios, which was the coming thing in that time, and a mark of distinction for those who owned one. From the nearby communities, people brought their old Stewart Warner and Crosley radios to be repaired. If the radio broke down, it was as urgent to get fixed as the TV is today. After all, when evening came, it would be time to drag up the chair to the radio and learn what was going on down at “Pineridge.” Pineridge was where the “Jot ‘em Down Store” was located. Here, Lum and Abner would meet with Sedrick for a 15-minute program of pure and wholesome entertainment. Late at night, after daytime traffic had stilled, this young man could be found at work in his station. “The atmospheric conditions were better at night,” he often said. On the same corner and just behind, but facing Pearl directly, was Truett’s Grocery Store. It was a rather large wooden building with gables reaching out over the sidewalk. Here those with leisure time on their hands could be seen whittling, chewing and spitting as they traded yarns about what had gone on at the big cotton mill the day before. A checker game might be observed in progress. By the late ‘30s, the time of which I write, a change had come to the corner. A big and jolly man everyone called “Doc” had converted the grocery to the best little “hot dog” stand anywhere. For a nickel, one could sink his teeth into the most savory hot dog, covered with mustard, onions and chili that could be found anywhere. For another nickel, he could have a soft drink to wash it down. Ah, that chili! I think it was one of the strong motivators that brought so many of the boys home from World War II. They remembered Doc’s chili. You could always count on being greeted with an aroma and a friendly smile when you visited Doc’s place. His wife, Thelma, and later his daughter, Eva Lou, added warmth and sunshine to the place. A friendly and pleasant black lady lit up the kitchen with her warm mannerisms. There is no wonder that Doc’s Place came to be the fun place to be on any weekend. When the war came along and young men began leaving for military training, Doc added another room to the building, creating a sizeable dance floor. There the big jukebox dominated the full floor. For a nickel, one could start the music flowing and the building would seem to rock. Music to dance by, music to cry by. The choice was left to the man who furnished the nickel. “In the Mood”, “Down South”, or “Goodbye Little Darling” along with many other tearjerkers could be heard in one evening. I watched as a lot of young men said goodbye to the tune of “I’ll Be Back in a Year.” For most, that was the longest year of their lives. I was 16 when I was first introduced to Doc’s Place. No place provided a better place for young people to meet than Doc’s. During the early ‘40s, America found itself at war, training camps were springing up everywhere and maneuvers were in progress all over South Carolina. From every branch in the service, men in uniform could be seen at Doc’s Place. I missed a lot of that as I, too, was away in uniform. Occasionally, when I returned, I would experience another night at Doc’s Place. Years passed; the war had been over for along time. I returned to Darlington and traveling down Pearl Street, and I saw the saddest sights! Doc’s Place was closed, boarded up! A sign on the window read “Fish House” and another sign under that one which read “Closed.” There are other things I remember about “the corner,” but none of them made such memories as those of going to Doc’s Place to browse with the young, listen to the music and make memories that have lasted a lifetime! See You at Doc’s Place! It was the place where “Saturday Nights” really came alive! lEttErs to thE EDitor that we honor Black History for my This is my opinion and should Reader unhappy with Great-great-great Grandparents Aleck not reflect upon my grandmother. Brenton Dana’s and Hannah Ellis, Isaac and Jinny Williams former slaves, in their stead I Angela Knight press release on his bid offer the following. Darlington, SC for County Auditor The Brenton Dana press release where he spoke of flaws in the Darlington County Auditors Office in last week’s paper is incorrect. The Auditor, Rosa Hudson, is my grandmother and I - along with all of our family - found that press release highly offensive and we are not happy with it. The current flaws in the system do NOT reflect upon the auditor, my grandmother, at all. People need to research how the county budget is set, where money is going, why is it allotted the way it is, who the people are making the decisions about the money in our county, and the truth about why they make the decisions they do. It is not much different from our school system. No matter what the reason, we have educators who work tirelessly often with few or little supplies or help due to how money is allotted. There is no good excuse for that, just like there is no good excuse for how public officials end up doing without. I will stop there. Darlington County should be ABSOLUTELY ashamed at how they let public officials get treated. The county should consider themselves blessed for some of the hard and honest workers in it. What my grandmother has done for the county, and that position, is remarkable and should be commended. In honor of Black History Month I believe that in order to reconcile, there must first be forgiveness of those that have offended by those that have been offended. In the case of most of those that are desiring reconciliation, there has been no active offense committed against them. This is both disheartening and confessing as they want to base their argument on this premise. I hope to defuse this by offering something to the those that did commit an offense five generations before I was born. We must be careful not to indict, convict and sentence the innocent of a crime they did not commit. There must be honesty from all and no one person or persons can set the narrative as to what is racist behavior, especially when it surrounds a difference of opinion concerning policies that may be introduced for our community. To disagree does not equate to racism and it should never be presented that way. That is a tactic that seeks to control the narrative and drive this city into irrelevance In any relationship that has been fractured the first step in the reconciliation process involves forgiveness. However the forgiveness is not mine to give as I am not the one that has been offended nor do I know anyone that has committed an offense. However there are those that came before me that have.

OP-ED How Donald Trump won the South Carolina Republican primary By Emma Dumain WASHINGTON – Donald Trump may have won South Carolina before his private plane ever touched the ground. The billionaire businessman swept Saturday’s GOP presidential primary on the momentum he’d gained on a national stage. His victory was so decisive the race was called for Trump within half an hour of the polls closing -- even as he broke so many of the time-worn rules proven necessary for Republicans to win the Palmetto State in the past. “He’s a businessman from New York City, not from the south,” said College of Charleston political science professor Gibbs Knotts. “He’s brash and kind of crude, and not very genteel and not very hospitable and all the things we The News & Press 117 S.

PRESS RELEASE AND EVENT SUBMISSIONS think as being part of southern culture.” Trump earned the support of South Carolina’s evangelical base that ordinarily would have been Ted Cruz’s to lose, despite Trump’s not-so-convincing account of being a committed churchgoer (he also picked a fight with the Pope). He chose to campaign in sports arenas, open fields and convention halls where he could address thousands of people at once, eschewing the typical stops at pizza parlors and community centers to give voters the special, oneon-one attention they appreciate. Even after a lackluster performance in the final debate in Greenville days before the Feb. 20 primary – where he disparaged popular former President George W. Bush and hometown U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham – Trump’s lead in South Carolina stayed steady. Four years ago, the Myrtle Beach debate leading up to the state’s GOP primary recalculated the odds for the surprise victor, Newt Gingrich. If Trump’s success in South Carolina was fated from the beginning, there may be little point in casting his victory as a case study for a changing political landscape. “The reason it works is because it works for Donald Trump, and it’s very unique to him,” said Christian Ferry, a political strategist who served as campaign manager for Graham’s shortlived presidential bid. “That’s not to say others won’t try, but I don’t think anyone will have the success he’s had in trying to replicate this model. Unless there’s another billionaire reality TV star out there.” TRUMP ON 6A NEWS AND PRESS | DARLINGTON, S.C.

Volunteers meet with students after school twice a week at Lamar Elementary for the Read and Feed program, which gives students a chance to complete schoolwork and enjoy snacks. Lamar Elementary kicks off Read and Feed after-school program Students at Lamar Elementary School are getting a chance for extra help from teachers and community volunteers through Read and Feed, an after-school program that offers school work assistance and a snack. Gay Jeffords, a reading interventionist at Lamar Elementary, and Sue CataenIngram, Darlington County School District’s lead social worker, launched the program Feb. 1. Students attend to read books, complete homework assignments and enjoy some food. Other volunteers from Lamar Elementary and from outside of the school have made the program an early success. “Our vision is for them to come two times a week, where we will read to them and they can get help with homework,” Jeffords said. “There will be a snack for the kids. They can also get the chance to take a book home with them.” Read and Feed is funded through a $1,000 grant from Pee Dee Electric Cooperative, which is administered by Carolina’s Kids Inc. Each program lasts about an hour. The students in attendance are treated to a snack before breaking out the pencils and paper to complete any homework assignments due the following day. Cataen-Ingram, Jeffords and the volunteers spread out across the room to help students in whatever ways they can. When homework is complete, each student chooses and reads a short book to one of the volunteers. Students earn the chance to take the book home to their families by completing the reading assignments. Read and Feed can always use volunteers, Jeffords said. Should anyone be interested in helping out, she asked that they call the main office at 843-326-7575.

GED Continued from 1A PHOTOS BY SAMANTHA LYLES College Continued from 1A “Especially for some of our folks, going to college is a little intimidating. They may never set foot on (Tech's) campus just because of the intimidation factor, but because it's right here in a place they're comfortable with, they're more likely to do it,” said Miller. Dr. Ingram noted that both he and his brother began their college education at two-year institutions, and lauded the partnership that will give DCSD grads an edge when mapping out their work and college plans. “When kids have an opportunity to start their secondary careers with at least a year's worth of college credit, it gives them a jump start on their life,” said Dr. Ingram. “For most of my career, we focused on getting kids a diploma, and then might shake their hand and say “good luck to you.” But now we're more purposeful – we want them to have a plan, and we can only do that by working with business and industry to identify the skills that kids need going forward.” Ingram added that this dual-credit program will give PUBLIC NOTICE The City of Darlington will hold a public meeting at its City Hall, located at 400 Pearl Street, on March 2, 2016, at 2 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is to give an opportunity to become acquainted with a proposed Rural Development project consisting of the purchase of an in line grappler loader or cherry picker truck and trailer, which is used to pick up and haul yard debris by the city’s street maintenance crews. Citizens will have the opportunity to comment on such items as the economic and environmental impact, service area and alternatives to the project. participating students grounding in “21st Century skills” like collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and communication, which can make a huge difference when they apply and compete for high-paying jobs, and Dr. Dillard agreed. “(Our industry partners) are beginning to understand the value of early college dualcredit... they're excited about this particularly for the young people that are wanting an “Simply the Best for Less” VISIT OUR SHOWROOM AT 131 Causey Street Myrtle Beach, SC www.windowworldofmyrtlebeach.com (843) 445 - 9921 445-9921 800-NEXT-WINDOW Also, the two new performance levels will be called GED College Ready (signifying readiness to enter creditbearing college courses), and GED College Ready + Credit, where students may qualify for up to 10 hours of college credit. “I am pleased that these changes to the GED test and program will open new doors for South Carolina students.

Gettin rid of a meth lab is dangerous and expensive. Meth cookers dump battery acid, solvents and other toxic materials into rivers or the ground. Much of the waste is highly flammable and explosive. • One pound of meth produces 6 lbs. of toxic waste. • Even months after meth labs have been closed, chemical residue still remains. • The chemicals used in the manufacturing process can be corrosive, explosive, flammable, toxic, and possibly radioactive. • Solvent chemicals may be dumped into the ground, sewers, or septic systems. This contaminates the surface water, ground water, and wells. • Traces of chemicals can pervade the walls, drapes, carpets, and furniture of a laboratory site.

Eat-in or Carry-out ™ Dangers of Meth Labs Meth labs are found in remote areas of some of our national forests. As an envihazard, the ronmental byproducts of meth labs contaminate their surroundings with harmful fumes and highly explosive chemical compounds. Abandoned meth labs are basically time bombs, waiting for the single spark that can ignite the contents of the lab. In the hands of the untrained chemists simultaneously using meth and working with the flammable chemical components, a working meth lab is just as unsafe. Simply put, meth kills. The drug stimulates the central nervous system, producing excess levels of neurotoxins the brain cannot handle. As a health concern, meth eliminates brain functions and leads to psychosis and, in some cases, deadly strokes. Other long-term effects of meth use include respiratory problems, irregular heartbeat, extreme anorexia, tooth decay and loss, and cardiovascular collapse and death. dark red paste, or small amounts of shiny white crystals. • Glass cookware or stove pans containing a powdery residue. • Shacks or cabins with windows blacked out. • Open windows vented with fans during the winter. • Excessive trash including large amounts of items such as antifreeze containers, lantern fuel cans, engine starting fluid cans, HEET cans, lithium batteries and empty battery packages, wrappers, red chemically stained coffee filters, drain cleaner and duct tape. • Unusual amounts of clear glass containers. 843-857-7544 or 843-319-2764 BBQ provided by Kenney’s Bar B Que Hemingway, SC Michael M.

Master of Ceremonies will be Mr. Trey Nickelson. Event will be held on Sunday, March 13 at 4:00 p.m. at Bethesda Baptist Church Life Center, 208 Church Street, Society Hill The St. David’s Lodge #72 AFM in Darlington made Masonic history on February 2, 2016 by putting a Lewis degree on Jayce Tailor Hardee, age 6 months. A Lewis degree is a ceremony for a Masonic Lodge to “adopt” the infant son of a Brother Mason in the hope that when the child reaches the age of 18 years he will become a Master Mason and follow in the footsteps of his father. The Lewis Degree has never been done in Darlington, and this is the first time in St. David’s Masonic history (1849) that a father and son have both served as Masters of the Lodge, which makes the Lewis Degree for the baby boy so significant. The young candidate for this degree is the nephew of the Master of the Lodge, WB Sandy Hardee; the father of the child is the Master’s brother, Templin Hardee; the grandfather of the child is the Past Master of the Lodge, J. Todd Hardee. Taking the Obligation for the Candidate was his father Templin Hardee, and the two grandfathers J. Todd Hardee, PM, and Brother Darwin Seago, father of the candidate’s mother, Jennifer Seago Hardee. Also in attendance were his mother, grandmothers, greatgrandparents, and family and friends of the Hardee and Seagon family.

How do they get to the children? We have coordinated with the schools to have the completed bags picked up. One school has a church who picks up for them every Thursday morning. Another school sends their SRO, another school sends their janitor, another school has a parent volunteer pick up every week, while others have teaching assistants and people who work in the office. We say thank you to the MANY people who have a hand in some part of the process that begins on Monday and concludes on Thursday, to make sure 712 children receive weekend food bags every week! You all are heroes and we thank you!” To volunteer, or share a contribution to Carolina Kids, contact Pulling at: 843-858-5205 visit: www.carolinas-kids.org or mail contributions to: Carolinas Kids Inc P O Box 28, Hartsville, SC 29551.

It seeks to recognize a faculty or staff member for their significant contributions to enhance the university’s diversity and inclusiveness on and off campus. “Dr. Wattles is the kind of individual who not only embraces diversity and cultural awareness but rather embodies it with a commitment and hope to see it expressed throughout our university,” says H. Vashon Brown Jr., a member of the AAFSC, who introduced Wattles at the celebration. Wattles has been employed with the university since 1995, initially as an assistant professor of psychology. He’s taught undergraduate and graduate courses in statistics, group therapy, psychotherapy, child development, and health psychology and quantitative and psychometric methods.

Recycled oyster shells are used by S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to refurbish oyster grounds. Shells provide the necessary hard substrate juvenile oysters use to attach and grow. When oysters are harvested, some of the habitat for future generations is lost. Replanting shells replaces this habitat and ensures that our local (or our state’s) oyster populations will continue to thrive. DNR maintains 26 recycling drop-off locations, predominantly along the SC coast, where the public can recycle their shells.

By Jimmie Epling Director Darlington County Library System Calling on all aspiring and novice writers! The Darlington County Library System, with the help of the South Carolina State Library, has now made it possible for you to avoid countless hours of searching for a publisher to print your book, the thousands of dollars needed to get your book in print, and the trauma of multiple rejection letters. South Carolina is the first state in the nation to give its authors an opportunity to publish their writings electronically and make them available for all to read FREE! Together with the South Carolina State Library, we are offering Self-e, an electronic publishing system to writers, and the Indie South Carolina Online Library, the place to find the writings of new and aspiring South Carolina writers. In the past, libraries offered only works available from a traditional publisher. A few Trump Continued from 6A That Trump’s bid didn’t end after calling for a ban on Muslim immigrants is testament to that. “The fact that he’d been on the cutting edge, the first one with the nerve and backbone to say it, that is what caused people in this state to say ‘This is a man I may not always agree with, but I respect the fact that he says what he thinks and he means what he says,’” said Ed McMullen, a veteran public affairs guru and a co-chairman of Trump’s S.C. campaign. But while Trump projects an image of authenticity and lack of regard for what others might think of him, he isn’t winging it. Indeed, to chalk up his Saturday night win entirely to his own dynamism is to ignore all of the clear strategic choices his campaign made in order to succeed. Trump said he was running for president in June 2015. In an interview with The Post and Courier Sunday morning, State Rep. Jim Merrill -- a communications professional and Trump’s state director -- said Trump hired McMullen and himself almost a year ago, and from there built a solid team of seasoned, well-connected professionals. Gerri McDaniel, a Tea Party leader in Myrtle Beach who years back the rage among some very large libraries was to buy a big press that cost over $50,000 to offer their customers the chance to publish their book in the traditional way. For the library, this was an expensive service. For the library’s customer, it was not quite as expensive as a vanity press, but still costly. In this age of e-books, a budding writer can go through Amazon.com to publish. Amazon is happy to offer your work, for a price. It makes millions of dollars off ambitious new writers eager to sell their book through the publishing service it offers. Get your work published free electronically through the SELF-e system and have it included in a special collection helped Gingrich win in South Carolina in 2012, was hired as state field director. Former State legislator John Russell was brought on as McMullen’s co-chairman. And Jeff Taillon, Trump’s S.C. political director, previously worked for Lt. Gov. Henry McMaster, currently Trump’s highest-ranking endorsement. “They got out early last summer and hired field organizers at the grassroots level, in different congressional districts, something like 200 something people on a steering committee,” noted Van Hipp, a former S.C. GOP Party chairman who’s been following the primary campaigns closely. “They did this early. And now we’re seeing them reap the benefits of that.” Trump’s campaign was notoriously secretive about its ground game in the lead up to the primary, almost to the point of suggesting it didn’t have one at all. Merrill said, however, that the operation was well-organized and sophisticated. “Every time Mr. Trump came in, we’d draw crowds of eight, nine thousand people. It was pretty much a systematic way of going about it,” he explained. “We’d announce his event, We would put it out on social media and through press releases, traditional channels. And then when people would sign up, we would garner their emails and compile a database and go back to that database of South Carolina authors! The South Carolina State Library is the first state library in the country to make the SELF-e digital self-publishing platform available to all libraries and their customers in the state for free. SELF-e, a partnership between Library Journal and BiblioBoard, enables indie and aspiring authors to get published. Authors can upload their works for free to a SELF-e’s online e-book collection called Indie SC Online Library for any South Carolinian to read. By submitting your book to Indie SC, it might also be picked up by Library Journal for its SELF-e online collection, giving your work nationwide exposure. The Library is thrilled to offer the Indie SC Online Library collection! With the launch of Indie SC, writers can now get their works out to the public through libraries across the state. South Carolina readers now have a chance to discover the state’s next great author. The Indie SC collec- tion now has over forty books. It is divided into fiction and nonfiction. There are children’s and young adult books in the collection. Readers will find books in their favorite genres’, such as romance, mystery, historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, memoirs, and poetry collections (one even includes a poem about me). The books in the Indie SC Online Library are free to download to your computer, tablet, smartphone, or e-reader. There is no limit to the number of Indie SC books you can download. If you are worried about not having enough time to finish your Indie SC book, no problem. Indie SC books never have a due date. Just go to the Library’s website at www.darlington-lib.org to begin your search. throughout the entire campaign and end up with a database of 120 thousand emails. Some of those were for multivoter households.” These rallies helped convey the scale of Trump’s popularity and mass appeal, but each was carefully orchestrated and heartily financed. Federal Election Commission filings show that Trump, in the final three months of 2015, spent nearly $40,000 on “event staging consulting,” plus more on general “event staging” servic- es. These two services for writers complement our ongoing series of introductory writing workshops with C. Hope Clark, a freelance writer, author of the Carolina Slade and Edisto Island mystery series, and edi- Trump has benefitted from being a self-funder, and the money he spent on these services paid for itself. “The national networks are taking Donald Trump’s events live on TV, and the value of that – I don’t think you can put a price tag on it,” said Ferry. Finally, Merrill pointed out that Trump had to prove himself, just like every other candidate in the field. “I think if anything the celebrity factor, at one point, tor of a weekly newsletter service that reaches 40,000+ writers. The workshops are held at the Darlington Branch on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. There are three upcoming workshops: “From Cardboard Cutouts to Real People – Character Development.” March 22nd: Discover the types of characters you need in a story besides the main character.

Four years ago, Gingrich, like Trump, won over the state’s “values voters” despite multiple divorces and an unclear religious track record. And Trump’s “make eran. “Get Your Story Out There!

We are breaking with the tradition of offering only those books that are available from conventional publishers. Offering writing classes, self-publishing, and a collection of works by novice writers is another way the Library is encouraging reading, the exchange of ideas, and the sharing of experiences in the community. Everything is in place for you as an author to write it, publish it, and read it @ the Library! America great again” rhetoric sounds similar to the patriotic optimism of the S.C. primary winner of 1980: Ronald Reagan. “Reagan wasn’t super religious,” said Knotts, “but he beat the Baptist Sunday school teacher, Jimmy Carter, in the general election.” Gavin Jackson contributed to this story.

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 24, 2016 | PAGE 7A Falcons breeze through opening round, stumble in the second By Drake Horton Contributing Writer Before the first quarter was even over the game already was as the Darlington Falcons completely outplayed the Myrtle Beach Seahawks this past Tuesday, February 16 at home in the opening round of the 3A boys basketball playoffs. “That was a pretty good start for us to say the least,” Darlington boys head coach Ken Howle said after the game. “I was real pleased with how we started. Our guys were ready I think, I’m just real pleased. It’s good to play here (home).” Opening the game on a 20-0 run, the Falcons already seemed to have the game wrapped up before Myrtle Beach scored its first basket at the 2:43 mark in the first quarter. By the end of the opening period it was 28-6 Darlington and for all intends and purposes it was over. “We took them out their game when we hit that run to start the game and it kind of set the tone,” Howle said on the impact of the opening run by the Falcons in the first quarter. Darlington, who won the game by a lopsided score of 7537, was a deadly offense all the way around, passing with precision and shooting with accuracy and efficiency. Overall the Falcons had 23 team assists all while shooting 40% from outside the arc. As it has been the majority of the time over the past three years it was the Falcons starting three guards that led way, with Tyriq Smith, Marquis Green and Frankie Johnson carrying a majority of the load offensively. Smith got things started for Darlington, scoring 14 of his 15 points in the first quarter that included four, three-pointers. Both Green and Johnson each had 16 points. “I thought we had to come out and get a good start,” Smith, who was responsible for 50% of the Falcons points in the first quarter, said. Each quarter Darlington seemed to put together some type of run and on each run it appeared to suck the life a little more out of the Seahawks. Like it had been stated earlier the opening quarter started off with a 20-0 run. The second quarter was closed out by a small 7-0 run of the Falcons with the fourth quarter ending on a 14-2 run as the game was already in hand. In the first and fourth quarter combined Darlington outscored Myrtle Beach 45-12. It was the second and third quarters that the Seahawks actually played a close game getting outscored only 30-25. Playoff Recap The Falcons run at a fourth consecutive trip to the lowerstate championship came to end this past Friday as Darlington lost to Midland Valley on the road by a score of 73-55. The lost ends the careers of one of the most successful senior classes in Falcons basketball history. Darlington’s overall final record is 21-6. Frankie Johnson’s last game as a Falcon, heads off to play for The Citadel in the fall.

Shaw resigns as HHS Varsity Basketball Coach Calvin Shaw resigned his position as Hartsville High School’s head boys’ varsity basketball coach, effective immediately, school officials announced on Friday, February 19. Shaw, who led the Red Foxes basketball program for three years, compiled an overall record of 2541 and a region record of 8- 22. Prior to becoming head coach, Shaw was the top assistant to Aric Samuel for eight years, including two consecutive Class AAA State Championship seasons in 2011-12 and 2012-13. Hartsville High School principal Dr. Charlie Burry said, “Calvin Shaw is a good basketball coach and an even finer man. He has led our program with integrity and passion, and his hard work is appreciated. We wish him the best, and I hope that he will continue to be involved in the game of basketball and working with young people in the Hartsville area.” The search for a new coach will begin immediately. He went on to play football at Clemson University as a rising red-shirt sophomore reserve defensive lineman. Rouse died suddenly at the age of 20 in April of 2000 from cardiac arrhythmia. He was an accomplished athlete, who also played basketball as a Falcon. PHOTO BY DRAKE HORTON NEWS AND PRESS | DARLINGTON, S.C.

WWW.NEWSANDPRESS.NET Vegetable Gardening (for the not-so-green thumbed) By Samantha Lyles Staff Writer It's said that one can grow vegetables about as easily as one can grow non-edible ornamental plants, but for veteran plant killers (like me), the idea of planting, tending, and harvesting food is a fairly intimidating concept. But this year, I – like many other novices around the world – will take the plunge and plant my first vegetable garden. On the advice of friends and family, I've decided to keep things simple and work on something decidedly not scary or fussy, like growing my own salad ingredients. Here's a little primer for my fellow veggie gardening newbies, with planting suggestions and advice that might help us all reap some delicious rewards this spring and summer. Ingredient #1 – Lettuce! Several varieties of lettuce grow fast, harvest easily, don't hog a lot of space, and don't demand perfect sunny conditions. You can even grow lettuce in containers, beside flowers, and sheltered under bigger plants. Lettuce is the one thing I'm pretty sure I can't mess up because it has such an accommodating nature. Best planting times for central SC: the entire month of February, and mid-August Ingredient #2 – Tomatoes! So popular, so delicious, and so easy for a starter garden. If you have a nice sunny spot and a support rig (like a cage or stake) for their growing stalks, tomatoes are nearly a sure thing. Lowmaintenance varieties with small fruits are available at most garden centers, and these types – with yummy names like “Red Currant” and “Chocolate Cherry” - can yield delightful results with little of the rot and splitting troubles that sometimes plague larger tomatoes. Some folks say they'll taste even better if you plant them beside basil, and the handy little herb also helps repel pests. Best planting times for central SC: April 5 to 25, July 10 to 20 Ingredient #3 – Cucumbers! These might be a little work at the beginning, arranging sturdy support for their vertical growth and plotting an area where they'll receive steady sunlight, but cukes will grow like mad once they've taken hold. Just keep these thirsty little critters watered and you'll likely have an abundance of delicious cucumbers for salads, pickling, or donating to friends. Best planting times for central SC: April 1 to 15, August 1 to 10 Hay bale gardening By Jana E. Pye Editor [email protected] In hopes that Samantha’s quest to plant her first veggie garden sparks an interest for others, we thought it may be fun to resurrect this story from last March, 2015! Do you want fresh vegetables but don’t have a lot of room to plant a garden? Or, perhaps you live in a rental property and don’t have permission to till up a garden spot? Hay bale gardening may be a great solution, and this is the perfect time to get started! Ed and Anne Guest of Hartsville have perfected the art of hay bale gardening, and have PHOTOS COURTESY OF CLEMSON EXTENSION SERVICE ONLINE Ingredient #4 – Carrots! If you have deep and welldrained soil, you're in luck. This versatile root vegetable is an easy go in the right kind of yard, or in a raised bed if your soil is rocky. Full sun is best for this bright orange staple, though easygoing carrots can deal with a little time in the shade. Best planting times for central SC: February 10 to 28, August 1 to 15 when cut with a spiralizer. Zucchini are notorious for growing almost out of control, so most small gardens will get plenty of squashes from just one or two plants. Settle them in mounded soil or in containers, keep them watered and warm, and these workhorse plants might just outproduce all your other produce. Best planting times for central SC: April 1 to 20, August 1 to 15 Ingredient #5 – Green Beans! An ideal choice for home gardening, with hundreds of varieties to choose from depending on your tastes and your space restrictions. If you've got the room, vine types grow really robustly, but bush varieties (like snap peas) take up less space. Green beans typically grow well from seeds and they like full sun and well-drained soil. Best planting times for central SC: varies by type, but most do well when planted in April, and late July/early August Experts say it's easier to plan out your garden's parameters once you've decided what you want to grow. I'm aiming for an easy to maintain 10 x 10 plot, with six to eight hours of direct sun each day, easy access to the garden hose, and a wire fence to discourage the neighborhood rabbits. Our backyard has unusually rich soil (it's like chocolate cake riddled with gigantic earthworms!), but you should probably get your soil tested before planting to avoid disappointment and wasted work. To check your drainage, soak the prospective garden down thoroughly, wait a day, then scoop a handful of soil and give it a squeeze. If water Ingredient #6 – Zucchini! Not just a salad stand-by, this wonder veggie also makes pretty tasty noodles (or zoodles, as the foodies say) seeps out, you may need to add compost or organic matter to enhance the drainage. If the soil falls apart or won't form a ball, it may be too sandy, meaning it needs more organic matter. The Darlington County Clemson Extension Service can help with this, and provide plenty of great advice to boot.

The Guest’s planted their first hay bale after they moved to Hartsville. “We rented for the first few years after we married,” said Ed. “We were amazed how easy it was, and how healthy the plants were. And after we moved, all we had to do was spread some grass seed and straw and the grass grew right back.” The Guest’s purchase their bales of hay from Northside Feed and Tack in North Hartsville. They lace the bale with 34-0-0 fertilizer for four (4) days and soak it thoroughly every day. “In about another week, the hay will have decomposed sufficiently to allow us to place top soil on top - reckon that's why they call it top soil!” said Ed, with his signature laugh. “After that, we can insert tomatoes and other plant sets in the bales as well as establish hills with seed for squash, zucchini and other veggies. If you think you don't have a place for a garden, think of this concept. You can place it anywhere. Place it on a sunny spot on a patio or driveway and it will produce.” For the eight bales of hay the Guest’s planted, they used approximately five (5) bags of topsoil, which ended up being about an inch and a half soil on top of each bale. “Some directions say use straw, not hay,” said Ed. “I’ve always used hay with no problems such as weeds that are mentioned in some articles.” They found great success with planting sweet potatoes, too. The bales of hay can be used again for a winter garden. Ed recommends that gardeners check out the following two websites for great instructions: http://strawbalegardens.com/ and the Bonnie Plants guide at the www.bonnieplants.com.

The Taste is scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, April 21, in the garage area at Darlington Raceway. Darlington area businesses and community members may participate in one of four ways: Griller: Fire up your grill or fryer and cook your favorite meaty recipe. Past dishes have included Boston butt BBQ, beer-can chicken, fried oysters, shrimp, and more. Table Host: Gather a variety of sweet or savory dishes to decorate a large, round table with decadent desserts or finger foods. Previous hosts have put up fabulous floral displays, chocolate fountains, coffee bar, sushi platters, pasta, and more. Sponsor: Show your commitment to the community and get your business in front of new customers with your banner displayed throughout the event. Sponsors receive 4 tickets per $500 donated and logo on the DDRA banner displayed at the event as well as recognition in press releases Miss Darlington High School Teen Aubrey Goodwin spoke to the Dillon Relay for Life Committee about her platform "Standing Up Against Cancer."

Ages 21 or older please. All cooks will be recognized in press releases and online when the DDRA posts the menu. Participants may post their banner at their table and have promotional materials to distribute that night, and each griller/cook/host will receive a ticket to sample all the dishes (and drinks) on display. The Taste is the DDRA’s biggest fundraiser, raising money for a variety of projects, including decorations for Race Week, beautification projects, business seminars, the Market on Darlington Square, Darlington Veterans Memorial, and the DDRA Improvement Incentive Grant, among other things.
