the ability to clip out a story or

something that is uniquely
personal to small communities like ours here in
Darlington County.
We want to make the experience of sharing the good

Duke Energy thanks
Darlington Raceway for
support during ice storm
By Jana E. Pye
Editor
[email protected]
The Darlington Raceway
signed an agreement with
Duke Energy at the first of the
year to be a staging location in
the event of a widespread
power outage; ironically, a
short time later, the location
was used for the over 200
trucks needed to restore power
to the surrounding area during
the ice storm in mid February.
“We hope we never have to
use the track again,” said Buz
Moore of Duke Energy. “But it
worked out very well.”
Darlington Raceway entered
an agreement with Duke
Energy to be a location in the
event of a widespread power
outage, such as a hurricane,
tornado, or ice storm.
“This is a great central location, not only for Hartsville and
Florence, but the whole Pee
Dee,” said Moore. “We had
folks from Cheraw come inabout 200 trucks. We set up a
big tent, and had heat, coolers,
food, and a portable kitchenplus, room for all the materials,
poles, and trucks.”
“I’m glad you got to use it,”
said track President Chip Wile.
“It was good we signed that
deal so you could use it as fast
Children's Trust of South Carolina
launches Child Abuse Prevention Month
As the statewide leader
focused on preventing child
abuse, neglect and unintentional injury, Children's Trust
announces April as Child Abuse
Prevention Month in South
Carolina.
The City of Hartsville is
going to “plant” 100 pinwheels,
according to Casey Copeland,
and plans to proclaim the city a
“Pinwheel City” at the April
City Council meeting.
Children's Trust is home to
the state affiliate of Prevent
Child Abuse America and is
proud to be a leader in the
national campaign, "Pinwheels
for Prevention." With the many
pinwheel gardens planned
across South Carolina, more
pinwheels are scheduled for
distribution in South Carolina
than in any other state.
The pinwheel represents the
happy, healthy, carefree childhood that every child deserves
and the vision and commit-
ment to give them the opportunity to thrive in a nurturing
environment. In a show of support, organizations throughout
South Carolina will display pinwheel gardens during April.
"Child Abuse Prevention
Month is our opportunity to
raise the visibility and advance
the conversation on how to
keep our children safe from
abuse and free from neglect,"
said Sue Williams, chief executive officer for Children's Trust.
"It takes all of us working
together. When families are
strong and communities support those who need help, the
likelihood of abuse and neglects declines."
Board of Directors' Chair
Kim Wellman adds, "Children's
Trust works region-by-region,
training child-serving professionals; supporting evidencebased family-strengthening
programs; communicating how
to prevent child abuse, neglect
and unintentional injuries and
advocating for the youngest
among us. We invite everyone
to participate with us this Child
Abuse Prevention Month."

The ice storm occurred
when Wile was in Florida for
the NASCAR Daytona Race.
“When you bring in that
many resources you have got
to have a lot of land,” said
Mindy Taylor, Government

Manager. ”The track is such a
great community partner and
allowed us to stage them
here, and we appreciate their
support.”
Daejah
Hough
was
described as “delightful” and
“full of joy”, terms to describe a
15 year old freshman at
Darlington High School with
her life ahead of her, words to
be perhaps written in her yearbook by friends, or comments
from teachers.
Sadly, those phrases were
used in her obituary.
The teen died tragically,
crossing a four-lane highway
early on Tuesday, March 17,
with two of her brothers in tow.
The children were ready for
school- she to the high school,
and her younger brothers to
Pate Elementary.
Word spread quickly in
Darlington, as the coroner’s
report released the name of the
Daejah Hough
girl, and that she had been
struck crossing Highway 52,
just after 6:00 a.m. at the intersection of Syracuse Street.

Hotel and restaurant group discusses Sunday liquor sales
By Samantha Lyles
Staff Writer
[email protected]
The Darlington County
Hospitality Association held its
first meeting March 17 at the
Greater Hartsville Chamber of
Commerce, and representatives from four local hotels and
one prospective restaurant
traded ideas for ways to
increase business in the county’s hospitality industry.
Jessica Cohen, Darlington
County Tourism director,
opened the meeting with a
demonstration of a local
tourism app currently under
development. Cohen said the
app would serve as a flexible,
portable, and always up-todate visitor’s guide with listings
of restaurants, accommodations, and activities, all tied
into GPS for the traveler’s convenience.
Cohen said the app would
also help keep local businesses
in the loop for potential surges
in customer volume, like when
a pageant ends at 9 pm and the
town is suddenly flooded with
teen beauty queens and their
families looking for someplace
to have a late dinner.
“If you don’t know there’s an
influx of people coming into
town, you can’t adjust and you
can’t make money,” said Cohen.
Cohen also brought up a
shared interest among restaurateurs, namely the legalization
of Sunday alcohol sales in bars
and eateries, currently prohibited under South Carolina’s Blue
Laws.
Though attendance at this
first meeting was sparse, one
hotelier - Kanti Patel, general
manager of the Fairfield Inn –
pointed out that even a small
group working as a team could
exert influence on Blue Law
legislation, especially if the hospitality council ties in with larger advocacy groups.
“A Darlington County Hotel
and Restaurant Association
could combine with the state
Hospitality Association, which
will tie in with the American
Hotel
and
Lodging
Association,” said Patel, noting
that AH&LA is a powerful
accommodations and hospitality lobbying organization.
Quinetta Buterbaugh, president of the Greater Hartsville
Chamber of Commerce, wondered if those groups would
come and lobby on the association’s behalf if it wanted to pur-

sue a Sunday alcohol sales initiative, and Patel confirmed
that they would.
Both Patel and Buterbaugh
agreed that the wisest course of
action would be to pursue legal-
ization at the municipal level
first, taking the issue to City
Councils rather than trying for
a countywide change.

About Reminiscing
By Bill shepard
I think that most old men, women and even children like to
reminisce about their yesterdays. Since I fall into one of the above
categories, I shall continue on. The big problem about reminiscing
is that too often, some of us repeat the same stories over and over
again! I have a book before me, written by a long time friend. The
front cover of the book is very attractive and shows two little boys
talking to each other. One of the boys says to the other, “Have I
told this one before?” The other boy answers, “Yes, twice!” I wonder if my friend was trying to tell me something when he sent the
book.
I have learned that most folk are kind and will listen (and
read) patiently as old folks ramble on with their memories. They
even pretend they are hearing for the first time! So, here I go
again with a story I like to tell about reminiscing!
It happened more than fifty years ago, when I was a student at
Lander College, now a University, in Greenwood, South Carolina.
Dr. Charles Manse taught Physics at the college and I was a student in his class. The old professor had come out of comfortable
retirement to fill a vacancy at the school.
Yes, the old professor liked to reminisce about the days of his
childhood that were spent along the Hudson River in New York.
One of his favorite stories was about helping his father to build
icehouses along the river in the wintertime. He would tell, in
detail, how his father would cut block of ice from the frozen river
and stack them according to the design he had in his mind. Often
while listening, my mind would escape the classroom and I would
find myself wading and splashing along Swift Creek in
Darlington. I enjoyed his stories much more than I enjoyed the
Physics that he taught. One student who sat near me would sometimes speak out and say, “I remember that!” I thought he was
rude and I would say to him, “Be quiet and let him tell his story!”
The problem came at the end of the semester and it was examination time! I recall sitting and staring at the blackboard and
pondering as to how to solve the problems the old professor had
placed on the board. At that time, my friend sitting by me leaned
over and whispered, “Draw an icehouse on your paper.” I could
have done that more easily than trying to solve the problems on
the test! I was tempted, but refused and I’m glad I did. I made a
passing grade and moved on. The memories have followed for all
of the years since.
Often when I am visiting in Darlington, I drop by to see my old
friend, Harold Timmons. Harold and I go back a long way in time.
Harold often says it is farther back than he can remember! Harold
was just a little boy when his father operated a small store on
Phillip Street in Darlington. Harold had two older brothers,
Monroe and Clarence, and we helped his Dad at the store. Harold
would visit with his Mother at various times. Harold’s father was
one of the most influential men in my young life. My visit with
Harold is always punctuated with stories out of that long time
ago. Harold will listen as I carry him back in time and often will
break into my story with…”Bill, how do you remember that?”
My wife, sister, daughter and her husband are usually present
and will sit quietly listening and pretending they are hearing the
stories for the first time! They are kind and so are you! Have you
read this one before? I can hear someone saying, “Yes, twice!”
Mr. Shepard is a native of Darlington, S.C., and a current resident of Piedmont, S.C. Signed copies of Mr. Shepard’s books “Mill
Town Boy” and “Bruised” are available for purchase at the News
and Press office. He has been sharing his tales of growing up in
Darlington for decades, and we are delighted to share them each
week.

Interim Darlington
County Administrator
Tommy Edwards asked each
member of the Darlington
County Council to prepare
their vision and plan to move
the county forward.
I prepared mine on
February 12, 2015, and went
through the proper channels
to receive time on the agenda to share it with council, as
I hoped we would all do.
When I received my agenda for the March meeting, I
asked why my name was not
placed on the agenda. I was
told that the Chair, Bobby
Hudson, had said to remove
it, and for me to read it during the Council member’s
input.
I did not feel that was
enough time to share, and I
requested my time to be
added.
When I stood up to speak,
I feel several members of the
council disrespected me.
They got up to take a break,
rather than hear what I had
prepared.
This is not the first time
they have done this.
We teach our children not
to bully others, yet how can
they learn from us when
they see adults bully one
another?
In my many years on
council, we say we are going
to work together. We say we
are going to prepare a plan,
a vision, yet we never do.
When Edwards asked us
to prepare one, I was elated.
I thought, finally, we will
work on a plan together!
I fear that I was the only
one to do so.

time to share during council

it in the proper way, I will

helped save millions of lives
on American highways, but he
also demonstrated that the
ideas that safety “costs” or
that the government can’t legislate safe practices was both
overwhelmingly debunked.
While banning the use of
golf carts on public streets,
roads and highways in
Darlington City and
Darlington County will not
result in the saving of millions
of lives –what if banning their
use saved ONE life? What if
that one life was your best
friend, spouse, sibling or
worst of all – child?
What I am proposing is a
very common sense, straightforward, total ban on voluntary, unnecessary recreational
activity that takes place
throughout Darlington City
and County on an almost
daily basis. As an engineer
and former employee in the
automobile and truck industry, I can say with certainty
that it is only a matter of time
before someone is tragically
killed in a golf cart accident
on our streets. When this
event occurs (and it will), the
wailing and gnashing of teeth
will be deafening, but lost in
all of the ensuing hoopla will
be the fact that this terrible
event could have easily been
avoided.
Unlike trucks, cars, motorcycles and even mopeds, golf
carts typically do not have
lights, brake lights, turn signals or horns. In addition,
their average rate of travel is
far slower than all other
modes of transportation on
our roads.
Even compared to pedestrians or bicycles, the golf cart is
many times wider and far less
maneuverable, making it
without question the most
dangerous object on the
street.
We are NOT a gated community with 10 mile per hour
speed limits.
We are NOT located at or
near a resort where both
locals and visitors are primed
to watch out for golf cart traffic.
We ARE a very busy, vehicular traffic orientated locale
that does not need the additional congestion and public
safety nuisance that golf carts
bring.
Now, I know that many
who read this piece own and
operate golf carts, and in fact,
I believe some of our popular
city officials are often seen
driving around town on
theirs. This article is not written as a personal vendetta
against them, or to highlight
some negative aspect of the
City of Darlington or
Darlington County. This piece
has been written as a PLEA to
the County Council, City
Council, local law enforcement and the press to do their
jobs and make the courageous
choices that will result in the
saving of a life, a life that we
may never know was saved,
but a life that is important
and precious none-the-less.

In order to fund the new
changes, a modest rate
increase will coincide with the
launch of the website. It has
been nearly fifteen years since
the last price increase, when
the single copy rate rose from
25 cents to 50 cents. The annual subscription rate has been
the exact price of single copy
purchasing the paper each
week, with a rate of $26 per
year. The out of state fee is a bit
more for postage rates, at a fee
of $36 per year.
The price increase is necessary to remain current; according to Thomas, “We cannot
continue to give the good news
of Darlington County without a
source of revenue. We’ve been
holding out on an increase, but
we will honor our readers to
keep it affordable.”
The price increase will
include a special savings for
subscribers, free added value
E-subscription access– and a
“beat the rate increase” period
of time ending July 31.
Beginning with the date of
the website launch on May 1,
the single copy price at racks
and newsstands will increase
from 50 cents to 75 cents;
annually that fee would total
$39, but Thomas said that it
was important for him to give
4,500 parcels. By increasing
these fees, the Tax Collector’s
office could generate about
$225,000 to offset postage and
advertising expenses.

“Would it be more logical to
tax only businesses operating
in the unincorporated portions
of the county as municipalities
already charge fees to operate?” Buterbaugh asked.
Buterbaugh also requested
details on two suggested uses
for fee proceeds put forward by
county administrator Terence
Arrington, namely the establishment of new economic
development activities and
micro business loans. Since neither of these use suggestions is
written into the ordinance,

All present seemed to agree
that being unable to offer a
mixed drink or beer on Sundays
had caused consternation
among guests and customers,
and many of those visitors took
their business to Florence as a
result.
“Sunday there is nothing
open for them, and we are losing income from year to year,”
said Patel.
Though Buterbaugh noted
that the Hartsville Chamber of
Commerce could not officially
take a pro or con position on
the issue, she suggested that if
the association is serious about
pursuing Sunday sales, it needs
to get the issue on the

Buterbaugh wondered who
would administer such a loan
program.
“With the county’s financial
situation, wouldn’t it be better
for small businesses to borrow
from the SBA or the USDA
rather than from the county?
What if the county is unable to
collect on the loans, causing
further detriment to the county’s finances?” she asked, with
a final reminder that such a fee
would carry administrative
costs that would further eat
into any produced revenues.

reading, vice chair Robbin
Brock suggested he would like

The tales spread on social media rapidly, as information was
released. She was struck not once, but twice; by a freightliner
truck, then a Chrysler minivan. Photos streamed on social media
of the truck with the “pipe” torn across the top where the driver
tried desperately to brake in time. The child suffered from a
form of cerebral palsy that did not allow her young legs to run as
fast as her brothers.
The Darlington County School District released a statement
that the investigation is ongoing, and that bus routes are set up
so that no child ever has to cross a four-lane highway to get to a
bus stop.
Additional counselors were sent to the high school, and to the
elementary school to assist grieving children, who were horrified by the news.
S.C. Highway Patrol issued a statement that the drivers
would not be charged since the children had been crossing illegally, as there is no crosswalk at that area.
Parents hugged their children a little tighter.
Television reports show the grieving driver of the minivan
that struck the child as she lay in the road from the first impact.
His grief was palpable.
Students wore red, Daejah’s favorite color, at Darlington High
School on Friday, and her funeral was held at the Falcon’s campus on Sunday, and burial held in Sandy Bluff Cemetery.
As listed in her obituary, she was born in Darlington County
a daughter of Shemeka Hough Kirkland and the late Dwight
Jackson. She was a member of Redeemed Cathedral Baptist
Church. Survivors include: her mother and step- father,
Shemeka Hough Kirkland and Kenneth Kirkland; four sisters,
Ajarelle, Daeyonna, Ke'Ziah and Ken'zayah; five brothers,
Davion, Tyquaz, Kemorey, Denton and Deomdese; maternal
grandmother, Mary Nell Hough; maternal great grandfather,
Leon Bacote; paternal grandmother, Barbara Jackson, paternal
grandfather, Lynwood Gregg; and a host of other relatives and
friends.
And still, the community wonders; how this could have been
prevented?
The incident remains under investigation.
Citizen Diane DeLucia asked
council for help dealing with a
troublesome neighbor on
South Mary Street just outside
Hartsville. DeLucia said she
and several neighbors have
repeatedly asked for assistance
from the county’s codes
enforcement office in dealing
with this neighbor who, she
said, has committed multiple
codes infractions since he
moved there in November of
2014, including dumping used
motor oil into a hole dug in his
yard.
“Why are we not enforcing
the law? Why do I have to beg
you each and every month for
assistance?” asked DeLucia,
noting that the neighbor is a
“middle-aged Caucasian gentleman” with an “air of privilege,” who has yet to be held to
account for committing multiple code infractions in this
mixed-race neighborhood.
“I have wonderful African
Americans in my community,
wonderful citizens who keep
nice lawns, and they are upset,”
said DeLucia.
Arrington said he has conferred with codes enforcement
director Randy Evans and planning director Doug Reimold
and discussed how the county
might deal with this situation,
but Arrington said more time
was needed before he would
publicly discuss any potential
course of action.
Darlington County Council’s
April 6 meeting will begin at 6
pm at the Courthouse Annex at
1625 Harry Byrd Hwy in
Darlington. This meeting is
open to the public.
Public Notice

KeepiNg the Faith
More than a
change of scenery
“Repent” is a religious
word I’ve heard most of my
life, and to this day, it still
makes the hair on the back of
my neck stand with fright. As
a child, I heard the call to
repent burst from the lips of
many a revival preacher.
With the evangelist’s
bulging carotids, burning
eyes, and angry finger pointing, I could feel the fires of
hell licking at my heels. With
“turn or burn, get right or get
left,” as a vital piece of my
spirituality, I repented every
chance I got (whether I needed it or not).
But for most, this kind of
intensity is reserved for the
sandwich-board-prophets of
our time; those walking the
streets with the declaration
that “The End Is Near.” Or
sometimes you find a wildeyed television evangelist
furiously
condemning
immorality.
Many
proponents
of
organized religion are very
angry, and sometimes ruthlessly so, taking real pleasure
in pounding the pulpit, and
they can hardly wait for God’s
consuming wrath to fall on
the ungodly. Repentance is
thrown out there as a lifeline,
but secretly, I don’t know if
they really want anyone to
actually escape. How could
some religionists be happy for
all eternity if they knew that
all the sinners, heretics, and
reprobates weren’t actually
burning in hell somewhere?
Still, we should not let the
fuming fundamentalists of
the world rob us of a good
word: Repent. Yes, we must
repent. But what does that
mean? It means we must
change our minds or turn
around. It means the direction we are heading is a dead
end, so we start over.
It means the thoughts we
are constructing are destructive. It means we recognize
that the way we are living is
not life at all. Sure, we preachers like to use the word in the
context of lying, cheating,
stealing, and such, but I don’t
think it is that simplistic.
True repentance is to completely forsake one way of
life and take up another.
Repentance means our hardness of heart is replaced by
compassion; vengeance is
replaced by forgiveness;
those we despised because of
their race or color or gender
are now accepted; and where
there was greed, now is
found generosity.
A couple of years ago a
friend of mine decided he
wanted to do more camping,
to get out and experience the
great outdoors. He went out
and bought this huge,
grotesque recreational vehi-
cle that was a rolling luxury
home. Satellite television;
queen-sized bed; stainless
steel appliances; Berber carpet; surround sound. This
vehicle was a technological
masterpiece, and I was scandalized.
If you’re going to go camping, go camping. Strap on a
backpack. Hike a few hills
and feel the burn in your
thighs and in your lungs. Eat
out of a can. Sit around a
camp fire. Sleep in a tent
with a stream lulling you to
sleep. Swat bugs. Count the
blisters on your feet every
night. That’s camping.
RVs are great, but don’t
roll around the countryside
in such a limousine and call
it “camping.” So I said to my
friend, “Russ, you can go to
the woods and never leave
home!” He answered, “That’s
the idea.”
We live our lives the same
way. Yes, we need to change
some things - our attitudes,
our priorities, our biases - we
need to repent. Instead, we
often just rearrange the furniture, change our surroundings a bit, or adjust the landscape. But our way of life
remains the same.
Do you have relationship
troubles? Well, just change
partners. Is your career in
the toilet? Change jobs.
Have you grown tired of the
troubles at home? Change
houses. You can do all of
these things and succeed in
only taking your dysfunction
down the road with you,
never experiencing anything
that resembles transformation.
Repentance is not about
saying a prayer or complying
with the wishes of some
wild-eyed preacher. It is
about conversion. It is about
a fundamental change in
who you are, not just a
change
of
scenery.
Ultimately, it is about becoming who you were always
made to be.

Four run sixth inning propels Falcons in comeback victory over Lakewood
By Drake Horton
Contributing Writer
Being able to find a way to win no
matter what the situation, no matter
what odds, and especially no matter
what the deficit is probably the greatest characteristic any potential championship team can possess.
After looking like it was going to
be on the wrong end of a pitcher’s
duel after five innings, the
Darlington Falcons found a way to
win. Breaking through an offensive
slump and scoring four runs in the
sixth inning, the Falcons earned a 4-2
comeback victory over the Lakewood
Gators at home on Tuesday, March
17.
“They (Lakewood) got some
(runs) early,” Darlington baseball
head coach Billy Sylvester said on the
comeback victory. “It’s been the thing
all year, we battle and battle. It’s
taken us till the sixth inning to start
making adjustments and then when
we finally made them we are able to
pull out some wins.”
After being shut down for five
innings by Lakewood, the Falcons
Justin Mack got Darlington started
with a single down the left field line,
reaching second base on an error by
the Gator’s left fielder and from there
it was like a snowball effect.
Austin White, the next batter for
the Falcons, singled into right field
for a base hit and Mack scored on the

second consecutive error by
Lakewood, this time as the right
fielder let the ball go right under his
glove, letting it get away from him
and allowing White to get to third.
Darlington’s good fortunes did not
stop
there,
however.
With
Lakewood’s lead cut to 2-1 Collin
Bonnoitt’s groundball somehow
found its way into right field for a
base hit, scoring White all while
Lakewood’s right fielder made his
second consecutive error, the Gator’s
third in the inning, allowing Bonnoitt
to get to second.
“It felt great,” Bonnoitt said on his
hit that tied the game. “It was a great
feeling, we weren’t ready to die down
and I was ready for my hit; it was my
time I guess.”
With the game tied at two, the
Gators opted to change pitchers, but
it had no effect in stopping the
momentum that Darlington had
already gained.
Following Bonnoitt, Dustin Knotts

had made the right decision to
Lady Falcons down
Lakewood in region games
By Will Isgett
Contributing Writer
The success of any varsity
team comes from the building
blocks of the junior varsity program. The Darlington High
School junior varsity softball
teams have produced a multitude of talented players that
have gone onto play for the successful Lady Falcon varsity
team.
“By having a JV program it
gives us a chance to let the
younger players play,” Wiley
said. “We’ve got some great talent on that team that will hopefully be varsity players one
day.”
Against Lakewood last week
the JV team earned a 12-0 win
over the visiting Gators. The
game was called in two innings
due to Lakewood arriving late
to Darlington.
The JV ladies jumped on
Lakewood in the second inning
on base clearing triple by
Ryanne Weatherford.
Weatherford was also the
winning pitcher striking out
two and giving up only one hit.
The varsity team used two
pitchers and steady hitting to
down the Gators 10-1.
Even though the Lady
Falcons improved to 2-0 in
region 6-3A head coach Tim
Wiley said the young team still
has things to work on.
“We got a good win but we
still have a lot of things to work
on,” Wiley said. “We got a good
team overall but to beat the
Hartsville’s and the Marlboro
Counties we’ve got to be more
disciplined at the plate.”
At the plate eighth grader
Chloe Hicks led Darlington
going 2-for-2 with two RBI’s
while Kirsten Stone went 2-for4 that included a belting shot to
the right field fence in the
fourth inning.
Lakewood took an early 1-0
lead but the Falcons struck
back in the second inning plating six runs.
In that inning, the Lady
Falcons had six hits highlighted
by Haley Clark’s double to left
that gave Darlington a 6-1 lead.
Adrianna Weatherford, a
Florence-Darlington
Tech
signee, picked up the win on
the mound pitching three
inning giving up two hits and
striking out two.
Bailey Yarborough took the
mound in the fourth inning and
held the Lady Gators scoreless
while striking out five.

change to the pitcher, but then the
Falcons rallied with two outs.
Ethan McDonald singled up the
middle on a hit and run, letting Jared
Bell, who was pinch-running for
Bonnoitt, score giving Darlington its
first lead of the game at 3-2.
“I just hadn’t hit well earlier in the
game,” McDonald said on hitting
what ended up being the game-winning RBI single. “I knew I had to
come through big for my team. They
always back me up so I knew I had to
be there for them.”
“At that point of the game that was
the turning point,” Sylvester said on
that defining moment in the sixth
inning. “We could have laid down or
we could have gotten up and battled
and showed some heart and that’s
what they did.”
The Falcons did not stop there,
though, adding one more run for
insurance as McDonald scored on a
Lakewood throwing error, the fifth
error of the inning for the Gators that
allowed Jared Boswell to reach safely.
Lakewood did not fold, though, as
the Gators had the bases loaded with
two-outs. Knotts, who Sylvester had
called on in the seventh to close after
Lakewood had one runner on with
one out, was able to get the needed
ground out to escape the jam and
secure the victory.
The Gators, for five innings, really
played a complete game against the
Falcons, playing good defense behind

great pitching all while scoring one
run in the first inning on a double
steal and another run in the third
when a Darlington throwing error
and sacrifice bunt put a runner on
third, allowing a simple single to
score the second run of the game.
Bryant Huggins, the starting
pitcher for the Falcons pitched a gem
of a game as well, pitching his way
out of a couple of tough situations
that could have really changed the
complexion of the game. Out of the
two runs that Lakewood scored, only
one was earned and he finished with
eight strikeouts.
“After that first inning I knew that
I had come out that next inning and
keep my head in the game and work
harder than I did in the first inning,”
Huggins, who despite earning a nodecision, kept Darlington in striking
distance of Lakewood, said. “After
that it got to me and I had to get
going, throw my game and throw
pitches.”
The win not only kept Darlington’s
regular season record perfect, but
also improved the Falcons to 2-0 in
region play.
RECAP
Darlington won its other game of
the week, defeating the Manning
Monarchs 4-2 at home this past
Friday.
The win improved the Falcons overall record to 5-0, 3-0 in the region.

Hay bales ready to treat.
Hay bale gardening
By Jana E. Pye
Editor
[email protected]
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
Hay bales week 2, with top soil, ready to plant.
Hay bale garden last summer at Ed and Anne Guest’s home.
bale gardening, and have shared their expertise with many people that have heard about it.
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, including sweet potatoes. 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.The bales of hay
can be used again for a winter garden.
“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.”
Ed recommends that gardeners check out the following two
websites for great instructions: http://strawbalegardens.com/

A look back: the legacy of Julius Rosenwald
By Samantha Lyles
Staff Writer
[email protected]
There’s an old saying that
goes, “A rising tide lifts all
boats,” implying that better
economic conditions should
yield benefits for everyone,
whether you sail a yacht or
paddle a canoe. In this era of
concentrated wealth, where
the top one-percent of U.S.
households control about 35percent of our nation’s wealth,
a man like Julius Rosenwald
would stick out like a sore
thumb, because he actually
believed that “rising tide” stuff,
and the man put his money
behind his convictions.
“Do you know that onetenth of our population is
black?” Rosenwald asked a
reporter in a 1929 interview.
“Well, if we promote better citizenship among that proportion
of our population, it goes without saying that our entire citizenship will be the better for
it.”
Born in 1862 in Springfield,
Illinois, just a stone’s throw
from the birthplace of
Abraham Lincoln, Rosenwald
worked his way to wealth as a
salesman who got ahead of
trends and invested in the
future, as when he invested in
a mail-order watch sales outfit
back in 1895. That little watch
seller was the Sears-Roebuck
Company, and Rosenwald
would eventually become the
firm’s president.
His interest in social justice
dovetailed with his opinions
about money, which he viewed
as a means to an end, a tool
with which a man might shape
a better future for his loved
ones and his nation.
The Julius Rosenwald Fund,
a Chicago-based philanthropic
organization, was established
in 1917 to provide grants for
school construction in underserved African American communities. The seed for the idea
was laid in 1913 when
Rosenwald cleared Booker T.
Washington to use some
money he donated to the
Tuskeegee Institute to build six
small schools in rural Alabama.
This test run must have been a
success, because Rosenwald (a
Tuskeegee trustee) soon began
working closely with the
Institute to take the experiment nationwide.
Rosenwald focused his
school development program
on states with mandated racial
segregation in their schools.
The Fund also required a local
buy-in, with matching contributions from the local school
district and African American
community.
Rosenwald school buildings
were also required to meet a
specific design plan developed
by Tuskeegee Institute architects, ensuring proper lighting,
space, and sanitary conditions
for students and teachers. The
need for better school facilities
was well known among the
black community, as most
African American schools of
the era were dilapidated buildings housing little more than a
few makeshift desks and
benches.
Participation in the
Rosenwald Fund program
spread rapidly and brought
welcome change to communities in need. By 1928, 15 states
were participating in the program, and across the American
South, one in every five rural
schools for black students was
a Rosenwald School. These
institutions educated one-third
of the region’s black schoolchildren.
By the time the Rosenwald
Fund program concluded in
1932 (the year Julius
Rosenwald passed away), the
visionary industrialist and his
partner communities had
invested almost $28.5 million
in construction. The Fund had
built 4,977 new schools, constructed 217 homes for teachers, and 163 shop buildings.
The number of students
served was staggering; a total
of 663,615 had received an
education thanks to the initiative and dedication of
Rosenwald Fund communities.
In South Carolina, 481
Rosenwald-funded schools
were erected, including the
Society Hill School built in
1930. Locals like E.A.
Sompayrac and Harold Russell
donated land and wood for
construction. The original fouracre campus had six teachers,
five classrooms, an auditorium,
a small library, two restrooms,
and cost a total of $11,150.
The school became known
as the Julius Rosenwald
Consolidated School (later
shortened to Rosenwald) and it
educated thousands of Society
Hill kids for generations. The
school became something of a
legacy for educators as well,
with some teachers, like Robert
Gerald and James Alston, serving the school for well over
thirty years.
Cost-cutting at the district
level forced a 1982 merger that
sent Rosenwald High students
to St. John’s High and Brunson
Dargan Jr. High in Darlington.
Though the old wooden
schoolhouse made way for
modern brick buildings, the
name has stood the test of
time, and Rosenwald
Elementary-Middle School still
educates the children of
Society Hill, cladding them
with the town’s traditional
eagle mascot and giving them
a chance to soar, just like Mr.
Rosenwald would have wanted.

Society Hill Lions Club I-73 Update
Members of the Society
Hill Lions Club heard information about the I-73
Highway Project at their
March meeting at Town Hall.
John Scism, contractor
and builder, Fred Craft, business leader, and Ron King,
Executive Director of
Economic Development
Partnership of Bennettsville
shared the latest in the proposed project which could
bring much needed growth
and industry to this area of
the state. The local project
length is 5.7 miles, and runs
from 95 to Highway 501;
nationally, the I-73 ties in
with the I-74 and I-75
Corridor, to develop interstate commerce between a
six-state corridor, including
Michigan, Ohio, West
Virginia, Virginia, North
Carolina, and South
Carolina.
In a statement shared
from Congressman Tom Rice,
7th Congressional District,
“Funding is harder,” he said
about the I-73 project. Rice
said his hope is to have the
interstate built in the next 10
years, but up to $2 billion in
funding is needed for construction from the North
Carolina state line.
In a special presentation on
Sunday, March 8, at First Church

Expand your horizons during Women’s History Month
By Jimmie Epling
Director
Darlington County Library System
Did you know March is
National Women’s History
Month? No? It had its origin in
1981 when Congress passed a
bill authorizing and requesting the President to proclaim
the week beginning March 7,
1982 as “Women’s History
Week." In 1987 after being
petitioned by the National
Women’s History Project,
Congress passed a bill designating March as “Women’s
History Month." This year they
are celebrating 35 years of
“writing women back into history.” The Darlington County
Library System is your place to
discover the stories of women
who individually and collectively are an essential part of
the fabric of our nation’s history.
At the Library, you will discover thousands of biographies and histories of women
who are having an impact on
our lives today and those in
our nation’s history whose
impact is still being felt. These
stories of women’s lives and
the choices they made provide
strong role models to encourage girls and young women to
think larger and bolder, and
give boys and men a fuller
understanding of the female
experience. Knowing women’s
achievements
challenges
stereotypes and upends social
assumptions
about
who
women are and what women
can accomplish today. This
35th anniversary of the
Women’s History Month and
the National Women’s History
Project, we recognize and celebrate the many ways that
women’s history has become
woven into the fabric of our
national story.
Among the many threads in
the fabric of our national story
is Louisa May Alcott, author of
“Little Women.” Through
reading about her life you will
come to understand why she
said, “I’m not afraid of storms
for I’m learning how to sail my
ship.” Learn why Amelia
Earhart believed “Courage is
the price that life exacts for
granting peace” at the Library.
And discover what occurred in
Rosa Parks’ life to prompt her
to say, “I have learned over the
years that when one’s mind is
made up, this diminishes fear;
knowing what must be done
does away with fear.” These
three women, an author, aviatrix, and activist, broke new
ground for all who follow
them because of their exemplary strength, determination,
and willingness to make a
stand.
The Library encourages
everyone to read a book or
magazine article, listen to an
audiobook, or watch a film
about the life of a woman or
girl who took a stand. Then
share the story of their strugand
achievements.
gles
Sharing their stories can help
to inspire tangible and material changes to improve the lives
of women and girls throughout the world and our country.
Two books were recently
published that have a strong,
pro-women message. They
present women and girls who
are strong without being caricatures; emotional without
being a harmful stereotype;
and most of all, full realized
characters
with
hopes,
dreams, and struggles.

NOTES
Wells graduates from
basic training
Air Force Airman Dylan P.
Wells graduated from basic
military training at Joint
Base San Antonio-Lackland,
San Antonio, Texas.
The airman completed an
intensive, eight-week program that included training
in military discipline and
studies, Air Force core val-
Lockhart. Something happened to Frankie LandauBanks the summer between
her freshman and sophomore
years at Alabaster Preparatory,
one of the nation's most elite
boarding schools. Before, she
was pretty enough, but lanky,
a little awkward, the kind of
girl you might not notice,
known in her family as "Bunny
Rabbit." Almost overnight,
however, she turned into a
full-blown swan. With a gor-
ues, physical fitness, and
basic warfare principles and
skills.
Airmen who complete
basic training earn four credits toward an associate in
applied science degree
through the Community
College of the Air Force.
Wells is the son of David P.
Wells of Canton, N.C., and
Rene' Wells of Darlington,

What is this in
Darlington County?
Last week’s photo was of one of
the pair of dogs that stand guard
at the home on 405 Cashua
Street. For St. Patrick’s Day, they
wore quite fetching green attire!
Our builder friend Bill Segars said
the home is the 1910 Skinner
House, and has unique porch column shafts with the same diameter at the top and bottom, but
larger in the center, topped with
Ionic capitals.
Readers that guessed correctly
include: Gayle Beckham, Bill
Segars, Kay Jeffords, Pat Melton,
Dawn Mixon, Ann Easterling and
Suzanne Muldrow.
The most fun telephone call came
from the young man that actually
helped to decorate the dogs, James
Mann, age 8! He called to tell us
that he and his mom, Shaye
Guffey, had worked together to
decorated the dogs that are on his
great grandmother’s house. He
said to be sure to keep an eye on
the dogs, because they will be decorated for Easter! Thank you,
James, for the phone call!

I am Malala: The First Who
Stood Up for Education and
Was Shot by the Taliban by
Yousafzai
and
Malala
Christina Lamb. When the
Taliban took control of the
Swat Valley, one girl spoke
out. Malala Yousafzai refused
to be silenced and fought for
her right to an education. On
Tuesday, October 9, 2012,
when she was fifteen, she
almost paid the ultimate price.
She was shot in the head at
point-blank range while riding
the bus home from school and
few expected her to survive.
Instead, Malala's miraculous
recovery has taken her on an
extraordinary journey from a
remote valley in northern
Pakistan to the halls of the
United Nations in New York.
At sixteen, she has become a
global symbol of peaceful
protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace
Prize. This is the remarkable
tale of a family uprooted by
global terrorism, of the fight
for girls' education, of a father
who, himself a school owner,
championed and encouraged
his daughter to write and
attend school, and of brave
parents who have a fierce love
for their daughter in a society
that prizes sons. Her story will
make you believe in the power
of one person's voice to inspire
change in the world.
Among the thousands of
biographies at the Library
you will not only find the
courageous story of Malala
Yousafzai, but also those of
current newsmakers such as
Clinton,
Kate
Hillary
Middleton, Michelle Obama,
and Kay Robertson (Duck
Commander). We also have
the latest books from comedian Amy Poehler and musician
Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth.
These join our biographies of
past great women like, Helen
Keller,
Abigail
Adams,
Harriet
Tubman,
and
Florence Nightingale.
When you visit the Library
to learn the story of a woman
who
changed
America,
remember that biographies
aren’t just found together in
the BIO section. Depending
on the content of the book, it
might be found among the
entertainment, sports, or
political books. If the book is
a collection of many women’s
stories, they will be found
on the shelves in the collective biographies with a
Dewey number in the 920929 range.
Even though this year’s
Women’s History month is
nearing an end, it is never too
late to learn something new
about the women of yesterday
and
today.
The
Darlington County Library
System challenges you to
read the story of a woman
and expand your horizons.

Darlington County couple receives Young Farmer Award
Wes and Amanda Woodard,
of Darlington County, were
recently named winners of the
South Carolina Farm Bureau
Federation (SCFB) Young
Farmer
and
Rancher
Achievement Award. After giving judges a tour of their farm
while being interviewed about
their daily operations, the
Woodards were announced as
winners of this award during
an awards reception at the
SCFB Young Farmer and
Rancher
Leadership
Conference held in Charleston,
S.C. last month. Steven and
Claudia Long, of Lexington
County, also took home an
award at the reception after
being named winners of the
SCFB Young Farmer and
Rancher
Excellence
in
Agriculture Award.
SCFB
Director
of
Organization Larry McKenzie
said, “Competing for these
awards is a unique opportunity
for farmers and ranchers
between the ages of 18-35 in
South Carolina. We are thrilled
to celebrate with these two
couples this year. They are
well-deserving and South
Carolina is fortunate to have
young professionals who are
committed to supporting and
promoting the agricultural
interests of this state.”
The Woodards were awarded $1000 and a choice of a new
Chevrolet
Silverado
or
Colorado or GMC Sierra pickup

The Achievement Award
recognizes young farmers and
ranchers who have excelled in
their farming or ranching operations and exhibited superior
leadership
abilities.
Participants are evaluated on a
combination of their agricultural operation’s growth and
financial
progress,
Farm
Bureau leadership and leadership outside of Farm Bureau.
The Longs were awarded a

The
Excellence
in
Agriculture Award recognizes
young farmers and ranchers
who do not derive the majority
of their income from an agricultural operation, but who
actively contribute and grow
through their involvement in
agriculture, their leadership
ability and participation in
Farm Bureau and other organizations.
Steven Long was also elected as the 2015 SCFB Young
Farmer and Rancher chair.
Long takes on this role following the leadership of last year’s
chair Reed Rogers of Chester
County.

South Carolina officials
are asking the public to keep
an eye out for a strain of
avian flu that has been identified in seven states and is
potentially deadly to poultry.
Highly Pathogenic Avian
Influenza (HPAI) so far has
been identified in backyard
and commercial poultry
flocks, wild ducks and geese
from Oregon to Arkansas.
While not considered a
threat to public health or the
food supply, the disease
could be devastating to poultry farms, which generate
more than a billion dollars
annually in the Palmetto
State.
“To date, these HPAI
strains have not been shown
to be a health risk to the public. However, these viruses
can be deadly to other types
of poultry, such as chickens,
turkeys, guinea fowl, pheasants and quail,” said Boyd
Parr, state veterinarian and
director
of
Clemson
University Livestock-Poultry
Health.
“These HPAI virus strains
can be carried by wild waterfowl without these birds
appearing sick,” Parr said.
“We’d like poultry producers,
whether they are backyard
flock owners or commercial
producers, to continue to follow good biosecurity steps to
protect their flocks.”
Parr said South Carolina
continues to perform routine
avian influenza surveillance
as an early detection tool in
commercial and backyard
flocks, and at auctions,
shows and flea markets that
include poultry.
He suggests that bird owners keep their flocks, including domesticated ducks and
geese, separated from wild
waterfowl and from lakes,
ponds and swampy areas that
wild waterfowl may use.
Duck hunters should keep
their hunting clothes, equipment and dead game away
from their own poultry
flocks.
To report severely sick
birds or unusual bird deaths
in domesticated poultry, contact
the
S.C.
State
Veterinarian’s Office (803788-2260) or the USDA state
office (803-462-2910). For
wild birds, contact the S.C.
Department
of
Natural
Resources (803-922-5431).

Rachel Randall, left, and Jamie Ackerman are the City of
Hartsville’s March 2015 Recyclers of the Month.
Recyclers of the Month – March 2015
Roommates Jamie Ackerman and Rachel Randall and are
the City of Hartsville’s Recyclers of the Month for March 2015.
As relatively recent college graduates now living on their
own in a city with recycling services, they said they felt a
responsibility to recycle.
“It was never a question of whether or not we were going to
recycle,” Ackerman said. “It was accessible. We picked it up the
second we got here.”
“I don’t think recycling is necessarily a choice anymore, it’s
become the norm for many in our generation,” Randall said.
“We don’t really think about it, we just do it.”
As the Recyclers of the Month, Ackerman and Randall
received a yard sign as well as a gift certificate to the Midnight
Rooster Coffee Shop and Eatery, 136 E. Carolina Ave. in
Hartsville.
The award program highlights those city residents participating in the City of Hartsville’s recycling program, a partnership between the city and Sonoco. To learn more about guidelines for recycling in Hartsville, visit www.hartsvillesc.gov. To
request a recycling roll cart, call Environmental Services at
(843) 383-3019.

The
Fourth
Circuit
Solicitor’s Office is seeking
volunteers for the Juvenile
Arbitration Program. The
Fourth Circuit Solicitor,
William B. Rogers Jr. strongly
supports the Arbitration
Program that was implemented in the Fourth Circuit in
1999 and would like to see
the successful program continue to grow.
Arbitration is an innovative,
cost-effective program for
dealing with first time nonviolent juvenile offenders that
permits the community to take
an active role in the justice system. The Arbitration Program
is a restorative justice program
that uses a back to basics
approach, recognizing and
supporting the community’s
need to sanction crime and
ensure public safety. The
Arbitration Program allows
the juvenile to accept responsibility for his/her actions and
prevents the minor offenders
from majoring in crime.
Arbitration promotes court
efficiency and helps reduce
the workload on Family Courts
by removing the less serious
cases and allowing the courts
to concentrate on serious and
violent crimes.
As a volunteer, the
Arbitrator would conduct a
hearing with the juvenile
offender and his/her parent,
the victim(s) and Law
Enforcement. During the
hearing, the Arbitrator would
determine the facts and negotiate an agreement of sanctions to be met in order for the
juvenile offender to complete
restoration and clear his/her
record. In order to volunteer,
an Arbitrator must meet the
following requirements: must
be 21 years old, have a South
Carolina Driver’s License,
must have a high school diploma or equivalent, no criminal
record, and must complete
the certification class. The
certification class will divided
into classes to take place May
18, May 21, May 28, June 1,
June 4, and June 11, 2015 at
The Town Hall in Society Hill,
SC from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00
p.m.
If you are interested in
becoming a volunteer, please
call the Arbitration Coordinator, Barbara McLendon of the
Fourth Circuit Solicitor’s Office
at (843) 479-6516 to receive an
application. This program cannot be successful without your
help, please make a difference
in your community.
It is important to have a
clean juvenile record as most
employers, military, and colleges are now seeking to have
that information. An individual desiring to have their juvenile record expunged must initiate the process themselves as
the process is not automatic.
You must be at least 18 years
old to request the expungement. Please contact Loriane
Griggs of the Fourth Circuit
Solicitor’s Office at (843) 4796516 to see if you qualify.
