Darlington council discusses storm water and sidewalks
By Jana E. Pye
Editor
[email protected]
No decisons were made, but many
issues were discussed regarding the
ongoing storm water issue in the City
of Darlington at the February 9, 2016
City Council meeting.
“Several years ago, we asked
Lathan Consulting Company to do a
master plan of storm water study,”
said Mayor Gloria Hines. “It was a very
good study. I think it’s time for us to
use it. Because all of us know that
October the 3rd of last year we had
heavy rain all over the city. Water was
standing everywhere. I think we need
to address this issue and bring it back
up, …and I think we need to start
doing things for the city, and not ‘paying for it and not using them’. I think
we have a lot of complaints here
tonight about storm water all over the
city. We only had one or two address it
tonight, but I saw storm water myself
all over the city and it’s time now for
us to stand up.”
At
Hines’
request,
Lathan
addressed council, with comments
and suggestions from city manager
Howard Garland, city water and sewer
director Freddie Kinsaul and contractors Davis & Brown.
Lathan described the storm water
plan that was completed in 2011, in
which the city was mapped into four
quadrants and issues were prioritized
with the most severe flooding issues.
She continued that the data was
used to apply for several grants, and
work constructed in southeast
Darlington improved storm water
issues and flooding funded by CDBG
grants funded by the U.S. Department
of Commerce.
“That comprehensive plan also
looked at maintenance issues, because
as some of the residents were noting,
some of the issues we can readily
address by comprehensive storm
water maintenance plan,” said
Lathan. “We began to do some work
on that some time ago. I talked to the
city manager and his intent is to get
that into maintenance plans which
means on a routine basis once you
decide what your plan should be, you
are routinely cleaning out these storm
drains and you are routinely reshaping your drainage ditches that helps
some of this water be able to move.”

When
the
Walmart
Supercenter of Darlington
opens its doors in May, shoppers will see plenty of familiar
faces running registers, assisting
customers,
stocking
shelves, and serving up food.
In fact, when the store is fully
staffed, it will employ over 200
people, and the folks responsible for finding and hiring all
those workers are currently
nose-to-grindstone
taking
applications and chatting with
potential new associates at the
Walmart Hiring Center, located in the old Radio Shack
storefront at 106 Express Lane
(between Food Lion and CVS).
“Starting out on day one,
January 27, we had over 400
applications. Now we're up to
over 1,000,” says Darlington
Walmart manager Kevin Lane,
noting that staffing the new
store isn't the problem. The
difficulty lies in choosing the
right employees from a wellqualified pool of applicants.
“The talent in the town is
great. We've got so much talent to choose from, that's the
problem, just trying to figure
out who we're going to put
where,” says Lane. “Having
this Hiring Center has been a
great advantage because we
can actually sit and talk with
people as they come in.”
A native of Latta, Lane
attended Francis Marion
University and Florence
Darlington Technical College.
A Walmart employee since
2000, Lane has worked a variety of management positions
over the years, including running the dairy, grocery, toy,
and asset protection departments. He has worked as a comanager for four years at
stores
in
Lumberton,
Rockingham, and most recently the Beltline Drive Walmart
in Florence. Lane says that
when he heard about the
Darlington expansion, he
immediately applied for the
manager's position and got the
job last October.
Though
he
says
Darlington's enthusiasm for
the new store has buoyed spirits, the historic rains and
flooding that plagued store
construction have been tough
to handle, causing multiple
delays and pushing the opening deadline by over a month.
“We were originally supposed to open in March,” Lane
says. “But the rain hit heavy
the day before we received 162
skylights. By the time we got
all the skylights up, there was
two foot of mud sitting inside
the building.”
Building up the parking lot
to a drainable camber, an
operation requiring eight feet
of dirt, was also delayed and
complicated by heavy rains
and flooding. But Lane says
things are picking up now that
the weather is cooperating.
WALMART ON 3A
Hartsville City Council convened their regular monthly
meeting on February 9 and
granted approval to an incentive package for a new restaurant planning to locate downtown.
Council voted 7 to 1 to
approve second and final
reading of Ordinance 4232,
authorizing several incentives
– including rebates of building
permits, hospitality taxes,
business license fees and tap
fees totaling an estimated
$32,577 over five years – to
LighterSide, Inc. owners and
developers Catrina and John
Penny.
Mayor Mel Pennington cast
the only “nay” vote.
The city's incentive ordinance states that any business
investing a minimum of $1
million to open a business in
Hartsville's designated “incentive zone” qualifies for these
rebates and benefits. A business can reach that $1 million
threshold through a combination of actual real estate
investment and job credits
that allow $50,000 for each
new job that business brings
to town.
In good faith estimates, the
Pennys told council that they
would invest $721,000 in real
estate and upfit to transform
the old Quality Hardware
building into an eatery.
Additionally, they plan to hire
27 people – 12 full time and
15 part time – to staff the
restaurant. These two estimates bring their total investment to $1.35 million, putting
them well over the qualifying
threshold.

Lamar water
and flood issues persist
By Samantha Lyles
Staff Writer
[email protected]
An automated valve intended to channel water from the
Darlington County Water and
Sewer Authority to the Town of
Lamar on an as-needed basis
malfunctioned recently, causing the town to receive an
unexpected and unnecessary
influx of water.
“(The valve) had an
upgrade and they didn't put it
back to automatic, so from the
middle of December to the
middle of January we purchased about 375,000 gallons
of water from the county, and
it shouldn't have been that
much,” said council member
Mike Lloyd.
The valve has since been
reset, and Lloyd said the
DCWSA directed him to a website where he can monitor the
valve and check its status.
Mayor Pro Tem Jackie
Thomas, running the meeting
in the absence of Mayor Randy
Reynolds, spoke with Lloyd
about town efforts to unblock
water and sewer lines on Lee
Street. Thomas said workers
are currently trying to unblock
the lines with pressurized
water, and Lloyd suggested
measuring the distance to the
blockage, since the town may
have to dig it out eventually.
Thomas added that standing water all around Lamar,
leftover from heavy rains and
flooding, is still a problem and
could become a health hazard
when warm weather returns.

OP-ED
Staying in touch?
By Bill Shepard
It is hard to find a real bargain these days and to know one
when you see it is harder still! Your newspaper may be one of
the few that remain. Whether you buy it at a newsstand or
have it mailed to your door, your newspaper is a bargain!
Think about it! For little more than the cost of a postage
stamp or the price of a cold drink, you can have the News and
Press mailed to your door! Nothing can enhance my cup of coffee more than having my paper spread on the table before me
as I read of the happenings back home.
I look forward each week to the day when the mailman
delivers my paper. If for some reason it is a day late, I suffer
disappointment! Upon its arrival, I scan it quickly, glancing
first at the headlines on the front page, then to the Opinion
page (wonder why?) and on to the Obit page. Most of the folk
that I once knew in Darlington have already had their names
appear on that page. That being behind me, I settle down to
the catching up with all the new happenings going on in and
around Darlington. The staff at the News and Press are doing a
great job at keeping all of us informed as to all that is happening all over the county!
This newspaper keeps me in touch with the town and the
people that I left behind a long time ago. Through the long
years since I have been away, this newspaper has been my link
to my hometown! Through this paper, I followed the events as
they happened concerning the old mill and the people that
worked there. Through this paper, I learned the deaths of
many of my childhood friends and acquaintances. I lived in
Florida for forty years but this newspaper coming to my home
never let me forget the place of my raising.
On one occasion, while living in Florida, I wrote an article
for this paper and titled it, “My Unforgettable Teacher”. I was
remembering my third grade teacher at St. John’s. Imagine my
surprise a few weeks later when I went to my mailbox and
found a short letter from Mrs. Edna (Looper) Anderson, who
had been my third grade teacher. From that day on until she
died, we stayed in touch with each other.
I cannot imagine Darlington without the News and Press!
The two are synonymous! I recall as a young boy, walking
barefoot along Pearl Street in Darlington and passing a building with the words News and Press printed on a large window,
but did not know that it was a newspaper! Occasionally I
would go inside and purchase a pencil or a package of Blue
Horse notebook paper. It would be years later that I would
know that the words News and Press were the name of a newspaper.
Recently I read in this paper that the Cheraw Chronicle had
given up the fight, closed its doors, and surrendered its position in that community. I can only imagine how it will be
missed. I thought as I read, what if that was the News and
Press instead of the Cheraw Chronicle? God forbid that it
should happen, but it could!
Newspapers have come upon hard times, and from strong
competition. I recently talked with a newspaper distributor
here in the upstate and he revealed to me some of the problems his paper was having staying alive. The competition from
TV, computers, and other modern technology is fierce, he said.
The man was standing in the lobby of a large store and offering free newspapers to those passing by. When one passerby
refused one, the man said to me and said, “See, I can’t even
give them away!” How sad!
I am proud to be a subscriber and a supporter of this old
paper! It has been reporting the ups and downs of this old
town for a longer time than any of us have lived. May it continue to do so!
I had a conversation recently with an old Darlingtonian. He,
like myself, had been gone from Darlington many years. He
stated that he and another former Darlingtonian decided to
visit their old hometown. When they were driving around the
square viewing scenes of old memories, he said to the driver,
“Turn down Orange Street!” When they arrived at the place
where the old mill once stood, he was surprised to see only an
open space! He said to the driver, “I wonder if Bill Shepard
knows that the old mill has been torn down?” When the caller
told me that story, I knew that he had not stayed in touch with
his hometown.
Stay in touch with your hometown, and there is no better
way than through this newspaper!

“The Auditor’s office is currently understaffed which has
unfortunately created fundamental flaws in the organizational structure of the office.”
Dana said when asked his
plans for the office. “This
inherently effects the customer service aspect of serving the citizens of Darlington
County in an adequate and
timely manner. When elected,
I will work closely and diligently with county officials,

BA from the School of
Journalism majoring
in Public Relations
and Political Science.
Dana is a former
Executive for the Boy
Scouts of Americarepresenting
Darlington, Chesterfield, and
Marlboro Counties and has
also worked as a media correspondent.
“My work and experience
as an Executive for the Boy
Scouts of America has allowed
me to live in both Darlington
and Hartsville- providing me
with a broader admiration for
the people of Darlington
County. The unspeakable gratitude I have for the people of
this community that support-
ed me during tragic
moments in my life is
what has led me to
strive for public service.” Dana explained.
Dana is a current
appointed Board
Member of the
Darlington County
Department of Social Services

The Chalmers Street “The
Ditch” issues with the unbearable smell is the next issue the
city faces.
“We submitted a grant to the
Rural Infrastructure Authority,
which we submitted a grant last
funding round,” continued
Lathan. “And it was not funded;
they get a little over $14 million
dollars each year for funding
and usually break that up into
$7 million per funding round.
This funding round, because of
the Volvo plant coming in
bringing 2,000 jobs to the state
and 10,000 jobs over the next 5
years, they disproportioned the
funding and let go of $9 million
dollars of that funding round.
So a number of applications
that would normally be considered were not considered.”
The city has already planned
to resubmit, but Lathan said
that the city may need to seek
other sources of funding. Since
Darlington is classified as an
MS4, it allows for a revenue
stream to come in from taxpayers in form of a fee, to provide
revenue to help pay for issues
such as the Darlington has seen
in the past few decades.
“It is going to take some
time,” said Hines. “I know
everybody is worried about the
water and we are trying to work
on it the best way we know
how. It didn’t happen overnight
it is going to take some time to
get rid of. I feel sympathy for
the people of Darlington
because the water is the way it
is, hopefully we will continue
with our grants and working
with it and we will we might
need to have a little help. We
might have to go up a little bit
on the water bill.”

Hyman received his B.A. from

Angeles, and his M.A. from the
is not just city issue, but a county one.
According to Lathan, the
county watershed project that
had been on the books for over
20 years was closed out in the
summer of 2015.
Mayor Hines asked her, “So
Darlington is suffering, and the
county had 20 years of the
water shed project and didn’t
do anything with it- so if we
are not working together now?
If we work on it, what is that
going to do for the county? If
we can get $380,000 for storm
drains for South Darlington? If
we can work on it, what would
do that for the county?”
Lathan answered, “I don’t
know if Darlington County has
a comprehensive storm water
plan like the city does. It’s
inappropriate for me to say.”
David Brown, of Davis &
Brown added, “I do want to
emphasize something Janie
mentioned, the maintenance
issue. I really feel like that
would be Priority One for the
storm drainage the staff just
doesn’t have the proper equipment to do the clean up and
proper management to do that.
I think it would help a lot if
they had proper equipment.”
Garland agreed. “It goes
back to that we need $500,000
to $600,000 to get some heavy
equipment that we talked
about.”
“Trucks are $350,000,”
called out Freddie Kinsaul.
“Our mindset has always
been to buy used things; we
have got to change our mindset. We need newer equipment
frankly if we are going to be
going on the bypass and take
care of things we’ve never
done before. For example
Chalmers, when is the last time
we’ve done that kind of work?
I don’t remember. A comprehensive maintenance plan that
we can be working on throughout the year is going to be critical.”

requested that the city provide
some relief from the issue,
which appears to be stemming
from a possible broken pipe
and/or stopped up drains.
After much discussion
between Jordan, one of the
homeowners, water and sewer
staff, and city council members, the parties agreed to contact an adjacent property
owner to obtain permission for
the city to go onto her property
to investigate the issue.
BoBBy Ross approached
council regarding a performing
arts project he wishes to undertake with the Darlington Area
Recreation Department as part
of the A.W. ”Man” Stanley
Leadership Institute. After
sharing a rendition of a song he
wrote with the theme “One
Darlington,” Ross was encouraged by Mayor Gloria Hines to
seek people for his committee.
Mayoral/Council filing
fee change proposal: Hoyt
Campbell, Director of the
Voting
Commission
for
Darlington
County,
approached council at the
request of city manager
Howard Garland and City Clerk
Gloria Pridgeon to address the
issue of the low filing fees the
city currently charges. “What I
want to suggest is change the
filing fee,” said Campbell. “As it
is right now it is cheaper to run
for office in the city of
Darlington than any other
municipality in Darlington
County. Lamar has adopted the
same fee schedule that the
county, state anywhere from
county council to us senate in
South Carolina is 1% of your
salary times the number of
years.”
With council salary being
$3,500 a year the fee would be
$35 x 4 years, for a total of
$140. The mayor’s salary at
$6,000 would be a filing fee of
$240.
“If the city of Darlington
would have had that in place in
the last election it would have
been something like $1800 -
near the Customer Service
area,” Lane says. “If the product you order online is in the
store, you can get it that day.
But if we don't have it, if you
want, we can try to substitute
something better than what
you ordered at the same
price.”
Walmart Gas will be sold
on site, and Lane says the station will match and better the
lowest local gas prices, monitored and reported through
the popular Gas Buddy mobile
app.
Lane says he hopes the
Darlington Walmart will
become a real part of the city's
community, and he is investigating ways the commerce
giant can become a good citizen by helping local charitable
organizations and participating in social events.
“We reach out a lot in the
community and try to help out
with grants and funding, finding out what (charities) need,”
says Lane, who is visiting facilities like The Lord Cares Food
Bank and the Darlington
County Free Medical Clinic to
the city would have collected
additional money.”
Council accepted his proposal as information, and it will
go to a first and second reading
for an eventual vote.
SCDOT Application for
TAP Sidewalk Grant
City manager Howard
Garland said that Senator
Malloy strongly suggested that
the city apply for a TAP
Sidewalk Grant to address the
need for safe pedestrian walkways to the new Wal-Mart
shopping area in Darlington,
from F Avenue out, for a total of
4,400 linear sidewalk. “Total
grant cost from will be
$482,000 roughly and our
match $96,403,” said Garland.
“Senator Malloy suggested we
go to County Transportaion
Commission to help with that
match. Eventually we hope to
apply for another TAP grant for
the west side of that sidewalk.”
Council voted unanimously
to apply for the grant.
USDA Grant Application
for a Yard Debris Hauler:
“We haven’t had a cherry
picker in a long time,” said
Mayor Hines.
Garland said that now that
the USDA grant for the renovated courtroom has closed
out, that the USDA strongly
suggested that the city apply
for this need.
Council agreed. Vote was
unanimous to apply for the
grant consideration.
First
Reading
of
Ordinance for 2016-02 Pet
Owners and Pet Waste:
After much discussion, reading a draft from city planner
Lisa Rock on a proposed ordinance, and debates on “how to
prove which dog pooped,” the
council decided to see another
draft of how to incorporate the
issue into a ordinance about litter.
Many members on council
felt it should be up to the neighbors to handle on their own,
and not be a city issue.
The issue will be brought up
assess needs and determine
how Walmart can help.
Lane says that it's a real
pleasure to find ways to give
back to the community that
has already made him and his
colleagues feel welcome.
“As soon as we opened our
doors here and word got
around that the new Walmart
manager was on site, people
have come by and visited,
offered help... the support that
we've
received
from
Darlington has been more welcoming than any other event
I've been involved in with
Walmart,” Lane says. “It's
more of a hometown feel, not
just a 'Walmart's coming to
town' feel. I'm looking forward
to (opening) because of what
we can do for the community... our plans could be limitless, with the community supporting us and working
together.”
The Darlington Walmart
Supercenter, located by the
intersection of Hwy 52 and
Hwy 52 By-Pass, is scheduled
to open at 7:30 a.m.,
Wednesday, May 11.
again at the next meeting.
Greater
Darlington
Chamber of Commerce
Funding Request:
Track President of the
Darlington Raceway Chip Wile
addressed council on behalf of
the board of directors for the
Greater Darlington Chamber of
Commerce to request the same
funding as the city provided the
past two years - $15,000 -for
the Freedom Fest event on July
4th which provides fireworks
and entertainment for the community at no charge.
“We have a great committee
it was certainly puts their
hearts and souls behind it,”
said Wile. “They are certainly
proud to be able to host it for
free, that is the key to this. We
have people ask why we don’t
charge, and we feel its for the
community and it’s the right
thing to do.”
The event had 13,500 attendees in 2014, and over 30,000
in 2015.
“People shut their businesses in Florence and Hartsville
down to come to this event,”
continued Wile. “And that is
what we want, is for them to
come to eat at our restaurants
and spend money in our town.
That is the goal again.”
The event this year will be
held on the actual holiday,
Monday July 4th, with the
hopes that people will be
returning home and seek something to do.
Council voted unanimously
to fund at the same rate of
$15,000.
FLATS Representation:
Mayor Hines asked for a
council member to volunteer to
serve
on
the
FLATS
Transportation committee to
replace outgoing chamber
member Dyan Cohen. Council

member
agreed to serve.

“Our water is settling all
over,” said Thomas. “We're
going to have a serious mosquito problem by the summer.”
Thomas asked that council begin planning ways to
clear up the standing water
and/or treat it to prevent
mosquito breeding. Lloyd
suggested hiring out a small
track hoe to dig out plugged
ditches in locations the
town's heavy backhoe cannot reach.
Also at this meeting,
council members Willie
Howell and Angele WhiteBradley requested more
detail in the fiscal year
2016/17 budget summary,
with Howell suggesting that
breaking down departmental budgets and providing
more data would enhance
council's understanding and
ability to discuss town budget matters with citizens.

Darlington crawls it way back to beat Marlboro County, claims second in the region
By Drake Horton
Contributing Writer
Well- that was needed.
A simple sentence for such an
important game, but sometimes
simple just explains it a little better.
In a season where Darlington
looked prime to run away with
the region, things all of sudden
looked like the Falcons were not
even going to get to host a home
playoff game.
After injuries, a poorly officiated game against Lakewood,
and a shocking lost to Crestwood
on the road, all arrows pointed
to Darlington finishing third in
the region after leading it for a
majority of the season, especially with its final regular season
game of the season against the
newly crowned region champions, the Marlboro County
Bulldogs.
But it is moments like this
where people can really see
where experience comes into
play and in this case Darlington’s
last four years of success showed
itself against the Bulldogs this
past Friday as the Falcons won
70-67, cementing themselves as
second place finishers in the
region and earning at a least one
home playoff game.
“First of all, it’s just great to be
back home at the Falcons Nest, I
hope this can get us a home
game
in
the
playoffs,”
Darlington boys head coach Ken
Howle said after the game, not
knowing at the moment if
Darlington had finished second
or third in the region. “Our guys
kept battling and battling, playing from behind most of the
game, but we stepped up at the
end.”
And while there were no
injuries in this game, the officials for the most did their job
and the game was at home, it did
not mean that it was easy for
Darlington.
Marlboro County, who has
the most talented team I have
seen them have in the last five
years at least came straight out
at the Falcons with speed and
precision. The Falcons, though,
with a team full of playoff experience and the home faithful
behind them knew exactly how
to handle it.
Quarter
by
quarter
Darlington chipped away at the
Bulldogs lead and finally at the
4:16 mark in the third quarter a
two-point shot by Tyriq Smith
gave the Falcons their first lead
of the game at 53-51.
From there it was game on
and Darlington seized the
moment capitalizing on two big
missed free throws on the front
end of a one and one for
Marlboro County with Bulldogs
leading 64-63.
It was after that last miss
where the Falcons inbounded

the basketball and Donavan
Johnson, who has already hit a
couple big time threes this season, hit one more giving
Darlington a 66-64 lead with
1:01 left in the game.
After that shot, Marlboro
County failed to do anything on
its next possession and Darius
Green, who has not been in the
scoring column very much this
season, broke away and made
big layup with less than 30 seconds left, increasing the Falcons
lead to 68-64.
The game was far from over,
however, as the Bulldogs rushed
down the court and drained a
three-pointer with 15.4 seconds
left cutting the lead to just one,
breathing one last chance in a
Marlboro County victory.
That breath did not last long,
though. Even with fouls to give
Darlington was able to inbound
the ball successful two times
before the Bulldogs finally were
able to send a Falcon to the charity strip and that Falcon was
Marquis Green, who hit both
free throws with five seconds
left in the game.
“My coach always tells me
that big time players make big
time plays so I had to show
everybody that I was a big time
player,” Green said after making
the critical free throws that iced
the game away.
Up 70-67 Darlington finished
the game off with great defense,
executing a perfect trap and
forcing Marlboro County to
throw an errant pass in the
direction of Donavan, who intercepted it and ran the clock out.
Leading the Falcons in scoring was Frankie Johnson with
22, but he was not the only
Darlington player in double digits in scoring. Green finished
with 14, second on the team and
Jalian Smith had 11.
It felt good,” Frankie said on
winning and contributing the
way he did. “Coach told us all
week that this was going to be a
big week for us so all of us came
out and played hard. I just felt I
needed to help my team a little
more in scoring and passing
wise and we came out on top.”
Darlington now gets ready to
face Myrtle Beach at home on
Tuesday for the first round of the
3A playoffs and this team is
primed for a deep run with the
large amount of experience that
sits on the roster.
“If everybody does their role,
I think we are going to be a
tough out,” Howle said, echoing
what many believe to be true of
the Falcons chances during the
playoffs.
Darlington is 20-5 overall, 73 in the region.
Congratulations to the Darlington Middle
School Boys Basketball Team for their successful season, with a season total of wins
16-4 overall and 10-2 in conference.

Lady Falcons make a grand finale for their 2016 season.
PHOTO BY DRAKE HORTON
Lady Falcons dominate in season
finale, look forward to next season
By Drake Horton
Contributing Writer
The
Darlington
Lady
Falcons ended its first season
under new coach Frances
Fields in grand fashion this
past Friday night defeating
the Marlboro County Lady
Bulldogs by a lopsided score
of 65-40.
But even the 25 point victory really did not even justify
how much better Darlington
was than Marlboro County
that night, as the Lady
Falcons practically did whatever they want to at will.
Whether it was shooting,
driving the lane, posting up
underneath the rim or playing that high level of defense
that Fields demands her girls
to play each and every game
the Lady Falcons delivered.
And that’s not even mentioning the level of effort.
That has been something this
team has gave every game no
matter win or lose.
If there was one thing that
Lady Falcons could have done
better, in the eyes of Coach
Fields in a game where they
were so much better than
their opponent, it was boxing
out and getting in better position for rebounds.
“Boxing out, they didn’t
box out,” Fields said on the
one area of the game her team
did not perform well in. “The
first time we played Marlboro
I don’t believe they scored
that many, but being the last
game, they wanted to clown
around a bit, but still they didn’t execute with boxing out.”
After being up by just
seven after the first quarter,
Darlington outscored the
Lady Bulldogs 18-7 in the second quarter that included a
10-0 run to go into the half up
32-14 and from there it was
over.
Darlington added another
10-0 run in the third quarter
and from there it was just a
matter of watching the clock
run out, wrapping up what
has been an up and down, but
overall eventful season and
this game is evidence of the
growth this team has done
throughout the course of the
season.
“Very well, I felt like we
needed that to carry us up for
next year and they executed
more than our previous home
games,” Fields said on the
game, the season and the
future of the program. “I’m
pleased with tonight and I’m
pleased with going forward.”
But what does Fields and
the Lady Falcons, who return
every player except for one,
senior Futrella McNeill, who
gave her heart and soul this
season, playing some of the
best defense for the team this
season according to Fields, do
to get better from this season
to the next?
“We need to get better at
ball handling, get better at
decision making, but even
tonight I felt like their decision making was somewhat
better, but overall just grow,”
Fields said on the areas where
she feels her team needs to
improve over the offseason.
The Lady Falcons finished
6-12 overall, 3-7 in the
region.

Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church celebrates 150th Anniversary
By Jana E. Pye

[email protected]
From humble beginnings
under a bush arbor to the
stately, beautiful church
bustling with six hundred people in attendance each Sunday,
the Macedonia Baptist Church
in Darlington, South Carolina
celebrated their 150th
Anniversary on Sunday,
February 14, 2016.
Fulfilling the great commission of Matthew 28, the
church and her congregation
are as much a part of
Darlington as they have been
since they began. Incredibly,
there have only been eight
pastors in the 150-year history.
A year after the end of the
U.S. Civil War (1861 – 1865),
the Macedonia Missionary
Baptist Church was founded
by former slave Dr. I. P.
Brockenton of nearby Lee
County.
Brockenton, who had
joined the First Baptist Church
in Darlington, was encouraged
by northern missionary Dr.
Charles Henry Corey along
with thirteen charter members
from the First Baptist Church
of Darlington, met first under
“bush arbors” outside, and
later to homes until their first
official church was constructed.
The original congregation
included: Evans Bell, Adam
Brockenton, Peter Dargan,
Fred Duncan, Lazarus Ervin,
Hamilton Keith, Samuel Keith,
Antrum McIver, Samuel
McIver, Samuel Orr, Samuel
Parnell, Jesse Williams, and
Augustus Smalls.
According to historical documents of the church and the
Darlington County Historical
Commission, . “Tradition says
first meetings of this Baptist
Church were held in the home
of Laura Brown. Rev.
Brockenton, along with the
trustees, purchased the land
and an old house on what is
now called Hampton and
Russell Streets for the sum of
three-hundred dollars making
a down payment of one-hundred fifty dollars. Deeds for
the property were recorded
December 19, 1866.”
The present site was
Charles Henry Corey (1834–1899)
Information reference from Suzanne K. Durham and the
Dictionary of Virginia Biography
Deacon George Blackmon, Sr., age 93, center, was recognized as Deacon Emeritus by Deacons T.C. &
Patsy Sawyer on Sunday after 56 years of service. Also recognized were Deacon Herbert McCurry, Jr. who
served for 37 years, and Deacon Charles E. Jackson who served for 31 years; both were unable to attend.
acquired in 1922 and the
building occupied February 3,
1935.
Dr. Brockenton stated that
when he told his congregation
that it was time to build a
church, he placed one lone
quarter on the offering table.
The first permanent structure was located at Hampton
and Russell Streets in
Darlington. Macedonia used
this structure until 1935.
That first coin was multiplied over and over, and was
the beginning of a foundation
of faith and a foundation for a
congregation that now numbers over 600 and a church
that is overflowing on Sunday
morning.
Dr. Brockenton was moderator for the Pee Dee Baptist
Association from 1883 -1908.
He faithfully served
Macedonia for forty-two years
before his death on January 6,
1908.
“I am glad to be a part of
this historic church that has
been in this Darlington community for the past 150 years,”
said the eighth Pastor of
Macedonia, Rev. Dr. Cecil L.
Bromell, D. Min. “We stand on
the shoulders of great pastors,
great members, great leaders
who have built this church to
where it is now. We look for-
ward to carrying this church
into the future.”
“It’s amazing to me that this
church has been such a stable
church for so many years,”
recalled Deacon T.C. Sawyer.
“I was baptized here in 1954 I
was 12 years of age at the
time. Even before then, I used
to ring the church bell when I
was really small. The church is
still there with the rope in the
tower. When I would pull it, it
would raise me off the floor,
and would have to wait until it
swung back to raise me back
down.”
The amazing stained glass
windows of the church have
scriptures at the base of each
panel.
“The committee decided
that rather than honor individual donors to the church fund
by name on the windows,
these windows would only
contain scripture. The reason
being that all of the members
through the years have tithed
for the sanctuary, so these
windows belong to all of them,
and give honor and glory to
God.” Said T.C.’s wife Patsy
Sawyer, who is a fellow
Deacon of the church.
The Sawyers help to plan
the children and youth programming at the church,
which has approximately 60 –
75 youth who regularly attend
each week for an afterschool
evening of worship.
In doing the history of the
church, Deacon Patsy Sawyer
had a discovery.
“In researching Dr.
Brockenton, we learned so
much about him. I am amazed
at how Dr. Brockington accomplished all that he did during
that era, right out of slavery.
I felt sorry for him when I
was reading his biography in
the different books. He was
sold as a slave to pay his master’s debts. The new master
and Dr. Brockenton joined
First Baptist Church at the
same time. Later on, Dr.
Brockenton withdrew from
First Baptist church with 13
others to form this church.
Reading his history, I am awed
by the accomplishments that
Dr. Brockenton made with literally nothing. He had no
money, and had a benefactor
when he was at the Richmond
Theological Seminary. I found
out that he was also a justice
here in Darlington. One of the
people coming to the service
from Washington, a descendent, has been doing history
on him too. In their research
they learned that he helped
start thousands of churches,
according to a book from the
Charles Henry Corey served as president of what became
Virginia Union University. Born in New Brunswick, Canada,
and raised in the Baptist faith, he attended a seminary in
Fredericton. In 1854 Corey matriculated at Acadia College
(later Acadia University) in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. There he
learned about the English
abolitionist movement, a
revelation, he stated later,
that prepared him for his
life's work as an educator
of freedpeople. He graduated with a BA in 1858
then entered the United
States to pursue a divinity
degree at Newton
Theological Institute
(later Andover Newton
Theological School), near
Boston, Massachusetts.
He preached to Union
troops during the
American Civil War
(1861–1865) in Texas,
Louisiana, and Charleston S.C. from autumn of 1864 – May
1865. After the war ended, he became active in the American
Baptist Home Mission Society, which ministered to freedpeople. The society sent Corey back to Charleston in September
1865. There he spent two years organizing churches for
African Americans, raising money for new buildings, and
ordaining ministers throughout South Carolina.
In November 1867 Corey moved to Augusta, Georgia,
where he took charge of the recently established Augusta
Institute (later Morehouse College), which operated under
the aegis of the National Theological Institute and University,
an organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., and also
devoted to providing a Christian education for former slaves.
Corey remained at Augusta until July 1868, when he was
transferred to Richmond, Virginia, to manage the new fledgling theological school for African Americans. The school
became the Richmond Institute in 1876, and a decade later it
was renamed Richmond Theological Seminary. In 1896 the
seminary and the nearby Hartshorn Memorial College, a
women's institution, pursued plans to incorporate as Virginia
Union University. By May 1897 Wayland Seminary, in
Washington, D.C., joined the institution. The merger was formalized in 1900 with the school's reincorporation as Virginia
Union University; however, Corey did not live to see the
event. His poor health had forced him to resign the presidency in 1898, and he died the following year.
Richmond Theological
College. Dr. Corey, a missionary from up north, and he
would go along and ordain
pastors to start churches. The
history department at Francis
Marion and people from
around the country and
descendents have been sending me information out of old
papers,” continued Patsy. “We
have an article from 1946 that
talks about how he went
around and did all that. No
transportation, a lot of walking. They talked about how
they wore out shoes. The men
were all educated, and
obtained their doctorates. And
now you can’t even get kids to
want to read.“ [See sidebar for

Macedonia
Continued from 1B
Several of Dr. Brockenton’s
descendents were in attendance at the church services
on Sunday. Two of the descendents, former Darlington
natives Peter Bethea Wilds of
New York and Frank Wilds of
Washington D.C., both spoke
to the congregation.
“It is an honor and a privilege to stand in this 150 year
old edifice where our ancestor
toiled, labored and built this
great house of worship one
year after the abolition of slavery,” said Peter Bethea Wilds.
“This is no small effort that
their spirits are in every brick
and every mortar of this great
historical landmark. It is no
coincidence that my ancestors
became part of this great
church, because they were
enslaved at the Col. Samuel B.
Wilds plantation that is also a
national historic landmark
located at Pearl and Edwards
Street just around the corner.
One might say they had a very
short walk to this great
church. As Dr. I P Brockenton
is not any different from
Frederick Douglass, Harriet
Tubman, Sojourner Truth,
Booker T. Washington, Garret
Morgan, hopefully all of you
all know these great individuals and personalities. They all
had different affects upon us
and against this great evil
institution of the crimes
against humanity, the institution of slavery. Each and every
one of these giants had a mission, for these people Dr. I. P.
Brokenton build a sanctuary
with the help of others for
freed slaves to worship, in
freedom and away from slavery. I ask you today, what will
you leave as your legacy? It’s a
great question and requires
great thought. It is our responsibility to become the archivist
and preservationist of our history and I just want to leave
you with this quote. Your selfworth lies in remembering
your ancestral beginnings. God
bless this great historical
church.”
Frank Wilds echoed his
brother’s sentiments, and
bestowed a check to the
church in his ancestor’s honor.
“I was baptized here in
1960 I’ll never forget sitting on
that pew right here.” Said
Frank Wilds. “What I am here
to do is to make a special contribution to this church and my
hometown. I have been
blessed, and that is how I can
do this. God has been good to
me. God bless Macedonia.”
Deacon George Blackmon,
Sr., age 93, was recognized as
Deacon Emeritus by Deacons
T.C. and Patsy Sawyer on
Sunday. Three Deacons were
recognized at the historic service as Deacon Emeritus
Deacon George Blackmon, Sr.
served a total of 56 years;
Deacon Herbert McCurry, Jr.
served for 37 years, and
Deacon Charles E. Jackson
served for 31 years. Deacons
Mr. McCurry and Mr. Jackson
were ill and unable to attend
the service; their plaques will
be presented to them at their
home.
The Glover High School
Gospel Choir sang for the celebration, and the Macedonia
Puppets entertained the children and adults alike reminding them to have a church of
praise.
A special plaque was presented to the congregation to
celebrate donors of the 150th
Anniversary campaign to
replace the historic front doors
of the sanctuary later this year.
After the service, the congregation enjoyed a slice of
cake that was specially created
for the occasion, a replica of
the church itself.
As part of his sermon,
Pastor Dr. Cecil L. Bromell
reminded his congregation
about the importance of the
foundation of the church.
“It goes without saying that
one of the most significant
institutions in our community
is the church. Next to the family and the school, the church is
very significant. Being that the
church is significant, I think
we need to understand the
purpose and the reason for the
church. We need to understand why we gather weekly,
why we do what we do. I think
it is very necessary for us to
understand that for all the
things that a church can do,
out of all the things that a
church should do, there is one
thing that the church is commanded to do, and that is to
show love.”

You do programs like THIS at the Library?
By Jimmie Epling
Director
Darlington County Library System
Library System isn’t just about
books, DVDs, magazines, databases, and the like. It is about
programs for the whole family.
Each location of the Library
offers a variety of children,
teen, and adult programs. The
program range from special
summer and winter reading
programs with challenges and
prizes, to author visits,
movies, tax help, book clubs,
story times for children, computer help, knitting and crafts,
GED training, and so much
more.
Below are some upcoming
programs you might find interesting!
Mini-Golf
at
the
Hartsville Branch Library!
Have you ever thought that a
library would be a perfect spot
for mini golf? For two days, the
Hartsville Branch will be transformed into a nine hole mini-golf
course with lots of obstacles and
fun twists along the way. On
Saturday, February 20th, ages 7
and older can play mini golf from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Ages 6 and
under can play on Sunday,
February 21st from 2-5 p.m.
Our Hartsville Branch Winter
Reading Program Book Bingo
winners will receive a ticket for
one free round of mini golf. The
public can play a round for $1
per person.
The event is sponsored by the
Friends of the Hartsville
Memorial Library, with the help
of students from the Governor's
School for Science and
Mathematics.
South Carolina New Writers’
Workshops
The Library is offering a series
of free, introductory writing
workshops for aspiring and
novice writers. These workshops
will help those who want to
become writers to get started the
right way and novice writers to
hone their skills to become better.
The classes are taught by C.
Hope Clark , a freelance writer,
author of the Carolina Slade and
Edisto Island mystery series, and
editor of a weekly newsletter
service that reaches 40,000+
writers.
These workshops are held at
the Darlington Branch on the
fourth Tuesday of every month at
6:30 p.m. There is no registration and all classes are free.
The next workshop is “Telling
the Story You Want to Tell – Plot
Development” on Tuesday,
February 23rd. In this workshop, you will learn what story
telling is versus showing?
Discover the basics of plot development and how it is very similar
from genre to genre. Learn the
three formulas for a short synopsis which is the bare bones beginning of your plot, helping you
stay on task, and understand different ways to outline your plot.
Paws to Read
Do you remember when you
were asked to read in front your
school class? Remember how
scared you were that you might
mess up? Children at the
Darlington Branch now have the
opportunity to read to someone
who does not mind a mistake, a
lovable dog.
The Paws to Read program at
the Darlington Branch is an
opportunity for children to curl
up on a colorful carpet in the
children’s area and read books
within a paw’s reach of an attentive and adorable therapy dog.
Therapy dogs are nonjudgmental listeners for children learning
to read.
The Paws to Read program is
held the second and last
Saturday of every month at the
Darlington Branch from 12:301:30 p.m. Stop by with your
child on Saturday, February
27th to meet and read to these
wonderful and delightful listeners.
A
Murder
Mystery
Theater
The Friends of the Society
Hill Library is sponsoring its first
Murder Mystery Theater and
dinner. On Saturday, February
27th, those in attendance will
participate in solving a murder
mystery over dinner!
Following the suspicious
death of Baroness Audry von
Munchen, the fabulous von
Munchen relics are to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. In the absence of a legal
heir, it looks like all the proceeds will go to her favorite
charity - unless a claimant
comes forward at the last
moment. What is the truth
behind the Baroness's death?
There's only one way to find
out! The auction attracts a
wide range of guests, including
antique dealers, private collectors, prominent members of
the Church, political activists,
spies, assassins, and even the
occasional drug dealer - as well
as all of the Baroness's 'loyal'
staff. However, not everyone is
who they appear to be...
Each dinner participant is a
character in the plot, and
although only one of them is
the actual murderer, nearly
everyone is a prime suspect. As
guests arrive, they are greeted
by the Baroness's lawyer,
Freddie Farr. They can view
her splendid relics, investigate
her murder, bid in the auction
HR BLOCK
“A Healthcare Conversation”
Co-Sponsored by the League
of Women Voters of Darlington
County, Florence Area, and
Sumter County
Three local League of
Women Voterss were invited
by
the
S.C.
League’s
Healthcare Director to hold a
free public program in the
Pee Dee to learn and discuss
healthcare – local, state, and
national.
A panel will represent four
points of view – American
Association

People,
SC
Hospital
Association,
Health
Marketplace Insurer, citizen
representative. Each will
and do whatever wheeling and
dealing is required to achieve
their character's other main
objective: to end up the richest
person in the room!
Murder isn't the only crime
guests are likely to encounter.
Blackmail, bribery, theft, fraud
and extortion also lurk not far
beneath the surface.
Mark your calendar for
Saturday, February 27th at 6
p.m. to be at the Society Hill
Branch for this fun program.
Tickets are $10 in advance and
$12 at the door. Please contact
the library at 843-378-0026 if
you are interested in attending. This fundraiser is to support the Friends of the Society
Hill Library who support the
Library’s children’s programs
throughout the year.
At the libraries of the
Darlington County Library
System, we often hear “you
do programs like this at the
Library?” Yes, we do! We are
looking for interesting and
unique programs to offer you
and your family. Some of the
best ideas for programs come
from you. Keep in mind, it
doesn’t always have to be
strictly book related! What do
you suggest we do next?
present their positions and
experiences, followed by an
opportunity for the audience
to ask questions and comments.
League locals will have
information displayed; all are
welcomed to this public
forum.
The event will be held on
Thursday, February 25, 2016

H&R Block of Darlington made
tax time a little sweeter for one
lucky local woman, as Leslie
Williams (left) picked up a check
for $1,000 last week from H&R
Block's Ruth Flowers (right).
This tax season, H&R Block is
giving away $1,000 to 1,000 customers every day, and Flowers
says her Darlington office has
already had two clients win this
year. Williams, when asked how
she would use the unexpected
cash, laughed and gave an answer
