Here comes Flo!

The National Honor Society students
from Darlington High School have taken
the traveling purple toilet named “Flo” out
of her winter water closet to raise the lid
on a 2nd season of fundraising for the
Darlington County Relay for Life on May 1.
What a fun way to help flush funds
towards a cure for cancer!
Austin White, senior, and President of
NHS, said that he and friend Jeremy
Standish made most of the last year’s
deliveries. “Flo isn’t too hard to lift, but
that sign is tricky to move.” said White.
“Oh, that sign!” said Murphy Lee, also
a senior. “We had one delivery last year
that I had to use my car....we had the sign
sticking out of the window and held onto
Flo in the back seat.”
Flo is actually naturally white, and
now sporting Falcon purple with bright
red lipstick by painted by Murphy Lee and
Blaine Eads last year.
Oliver joins

Carolyn Oliver was officially
sworn into office at the March
meeting of Society Hill Town
Council, replacing the seat
vacated by former council
member Chuck Spring.
Oliver, a familiar face to the
town as a volunteer for many
events and activities including
the Catfish Festival and recent
beauty pageants, told council,
“I am proud to serve.”
Former councilman Spring
resigned earlier this year due to
work constraints.
No election was held, as
Oliver was the lone community
member to file for office.
Council members Deborah
Harrell, Denise Douglas, and
Michelle Steen joined Mayor
Tommy Bradshaw and part
time town clerk Brenda Nettles
in welcoming Oliver to the
council, along with many community members in attendance.
Council received an update
on the pending lease agreements for the rental properties,
and heard Second Reading on
Ordinance 2014/2015-04 to
transfer elections from Society
Hill to Darlington County Board
of Elections and Registration,
following suit with Lamar.
The financial report was
shared, and Mayor Bradshaw
thanked the council and community for working so diligently to “dig us out of the hole.”

Long considered a blight
property and a public danger,
the abandoned Lincoln Village
housing project could be in its
last days. Hartsville City
Council voted at their March 10
regular meeting to proceed
with a plan to accept ownership of the property with an eye
toward eventual demolition.
Council voted without
objection to pass first reading
of Ordinance 4193, a measure
that would transfer ownership
of the nearly 7 acre property,
located at 712 South Eighth
Street, from developer JDL
Castle Corp – working this project as Hartsville Flats LLC - to
the City of Hartsville.

City
Zeigler explained that the
developer could not secure tax
credits from the South
Carolina Housing Finance
Agency, and the company
lacked adequate capital to renovate the property without
state help.
A Feb. 19 letter to the city
from E. Bryce Shearburn of
JDL Castle Corp. stated that
crucial information was withheld from his company during
acquisition, namely hazardous environmental conditions (like asbestos in the
walls) which would cost too
much to remedy.

DFD opens new training facility
plans expansion
By Samantha Lyles
Staff Writer
[email protected]
The Darlington Fire Department put the
finishing touches on their new Broad Street
training building last week, with firefighters
working hard to get the place ready for spring
exercises.
The 1,800 square-foot building, formerly
home to Weaver Electric, has been used for
several years to store old City of Darlington
equipment, but DFD Chief Pat Cavanaugh
saw the potential to put the dormant structure to good use. He secured donations from
several local businesses: Darlington Veneer
donated plywood to frame interior rooms, H
& S Floors and Furnishings donated old
appliances to fill out a kitchen and laundry
room, Georgia Pacific lent financial help.
Also, DFD personnel went dumpster diving to
find bedframes and mattresses.
The end result is a mock home that will
host a wide variety of first responder-specific
drills. On-site exercises will include search
and rescue, fire, and medical training, and
Cavanaugh says the building includes several
custom alterations specific to firefighter
training needs.
Hinged cutaways near the floor allow firefighters to hit the deck and practice rescues
from confined spaces. Breakaway sheet rock
panels are installed in some rooms so crews
can practice breaching walls and squeezing
between the 18-inch gaps between wall
studs.
Cavanaugh reckons that building a similar
structure from scratch could have cost nearly
$200,000, but with all the donations of materials and labor, the price tag was close to nil.

The March 9 meeting of
Lamar Town Council started
off with some good news, as a
local industry addressed
council about plans to expand
their production facilities.
David Epps, president of
Carolina Table Manufacturing
Company, said he wishes to
add a new metal building to
his company’s footprint, a new
structure that would house a
110-foot long spray finishing
line. Epps said this new
machine, which he has
already secured from Italy,
would apply a near “indestructible” finish to solid
wood and veneered products.
Epps said the building
would be raised on land
owned by Warren Jeffords,
located between Carolina
Table’s current 102 Main
Street facility and Boykin
Avenue. He and contractor
Don Clark asked council to
consider granting a variance
from a building code requirement for a firewall at this
structure, since the new building would not abut any other
buildings.

Spring is Here
Another tragic display of South Carolina’s Domestic Violence Problem
Memories of March in Darlington
By Bill Shepard
Song of Solomon 2:11, 12 KJV
“For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers
appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the
voice of the turtle is heard in our land.”
Though the bite of winter remains, proving it does not surrender without a fight. March is here and springtime is near! I
have said it many times, and it merits repeating; there is no
place on earth where springtime makes its entrance more beautifully than in the place of my beginnings, Darlington! You, who
live there need not be told that, and if there are those who have
not discovered that truth, I invite you to take a stroll through
beautiful Williamson Park. It has been many years since I first
discovered that truth, but the peaceful beauty of the place has
followed me throughout my journey. I have vivid memories of
walking along that winding road, fishing cane in hand and a
can of fishing worms in the pocket of my faded overalls. I was
en route to my favorite fishing hole on Swift Creek. Move over,
“Barefoot Boy,” you had nothing on me!
In my mind, I carry a picture of the purple and white wisteria draping from the tall cypress trees that stand majestically
throughout the dense swamp. I understand that much of the
wisteria has been stripped from the trees; it was so pretty! The
dogwoods, when in bloom, add to the scene, making its beauty
a challenge for any artist to capture. One does not have to
ravel far from the beaten path to behold the beauty of the colorful azaleas that adorn the yards of the houses that stand all
along the way. This park, like many others, was hewn out of a
wilderness by the WPA workers, using a pick, shovel and
wheelbarrow, in a time long ago. They could not have known
of the lasting beauty of the place they were creating.
March is here and in my part of the world it arrived as “gentle as a lamb.” According to an old saying, it should leave like a
lion! I have yet to see one kite sailing in the blue yonder! In
the time of my youth, the sky overhead would be filled with
the flying ships of various designs, and the store windows in
town would have displays promoting the sale of more. I could
not count the hours I spent, lying in the tall broom sage fields
with a string held tightly in my hand, while on the other end,
my kit struggled to go higher and higher. There were not many
store-bought kites in the sky over that part of the village where
I spent my childhood years. We made our own and took great
pride in so doing. Dried sticks from the pasture, paste, made
by fixing a little of Mom’s flour with water, and the process
began. A page from a newspaper if available, if not, a large
brown paper bag could be used for the covering. Rags, torn
from a discarded bed sheet, would serve perfectly for a tail for
my kite. Now, to get a nickel to purchase a roll of twine from
the neighborhood store, and I would be ready to join those
already gathered in the sprawling cow pasture near the village. What fun, and it didn’t cost a cent. By the time March
was over, the tall cypress trees inside the swamp would be the
graveyard for the kites that had gone astray. There they would
stay, blowing in the wind, until the rains of April and May took
their toll.
March winds left other memories forever etched in my
mind, memories not as beautiful as those already mentioned. I
have written before of the dreaded fires that seemed to happen every year during the month of March. There were no fire
hydrants on my part of the village. IF a house caught fire and
if the fire truck responded, the best it could do was to spray
water on the surrounding houses in an effort to save them. All
the houses had roofs of cypress shingles and when dry, they
were tinderboxes waiting to be lit. As a small boy I recall being
awakened at night and watching a neighbor’s house and all its
contents go up in flames. Flames reaching to the sky, through
billows of black smoke, are not a pretty sight to behold and
especially for the young and frightened. It has been many
years since I experienced such scenes, but the memories are as
real as yesterday. A house burned left a vacant lot that
remained that way; some, even to this day. Once a house was
on fire, only the chimney was left standing.
So March has furnished me with some of its ugly memories
as well as its lovely ones. I choose to give though to the beautiful. I just saw a pretty red bird fly by my window. She will
build her nest among the azaleas and raise her young. I can
expect to see the wrens any day now. They come back each
spring to build their nests on my back porch. There is a colony
of them. So tiny! The jonquil, narcissus, red-bud, and yellow
bell are awakening in my yard and the birds are singing. I have
yet to hear “the voice of the turtle.” I will keep listening!
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.
By Attorney General Alan Wilson
On February 5, around 1:15
p.m., students at the University
of South Carolina received a
text message warning “SHOTS
FIRED” — two words that
would send chills and panic
through the large campus that
is home to nearly 32,000 students.
For a few hours, we all
believed that USC had become
the latest face of campus shootings.
Instead, we soon would
learn, USC had become the latest site of an epidemic that usually spreads in obscurity, but is
all too familiar in South
Carolina: domestic violence.
USC professor Raja Fayad
was shot to death in his office
by his ex-wife, Sunghee Kwon,
before she turned the gun on
herself.
Just three and a half weeks
prior, police had been called
over a situation involving
Fayad and Kwon. The couple
had a clear history of violence,
and Fayad had moved out of
their shared home on Jan. 10.
As a society, we often imagine domestic violence in a
stereotypical way, where a man
beats his wife and uses power
and/or money to control her
throughout the relationship.
This tragedy serves as a very
real wake-up call that domestic
violence can happen anywhere.
Anyone can be a victim of
domestic violence, regardless
of gender, race or socioeconomic background.
Dr. Fayad was a wellrespected professor. He was a
successful cancer researcher
who made significant progress
in colon cancer research, and
was an expert on Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. His
death is a tragic loss for our
community.
I started 2015 by addressing
South Carolina’s domestic violence problem and the need for
proper reform, and legislators
are responding. Rep. Shannon
Erickson and the members of
the House domestic violence
study committee have introduced H.3433. Sens. Larry
Martin and Greg Hembree are
spearheading S.3, which is
being debated on the Senate
floor.
I’ve spoken endlessly on the
need for tougher penalties and
zero tolerance for repeat
offenders. However, we must
also focus on education. We
need better education for our
law enforcement officials who
are on the front lines of this
battle. They need to have the
appropriate tools to work with
and identify victims, and
should be equipped with the
necessary skills to determine
whether or not someone is in a
life-threatening situation.
Just hours before the gun
shots on February 5, I spoke to
a group of faculty members on
USC’s campus about the severity of domestic violence in
South Carolina, and what we
can do about it. My speech was
a small part of the one-day
regional summit hosted by USC
and EverFi, a Washingtonbased education company. The
purpose of the event was to
encourage S.C. institutions to
take a leadership role by implementing domestic-violence and
sexual-assault awareness programs that can reach all incoming students at the start of each
school year.
It’s a chilling thought that
the same day we all gathered
to discuss domestic-violence
prevention and education, a
life was cut short due to this
tragic crime just a few blocks
away. This reaffirms the need
for more conversations like this
about domestic violence.
We need to educate our
children and ourselves. The
conversation with our children
cannot begin early enough.
They need to understand that
violence is never acceptable.
There are appropriate ways to
talk to your children, regardless of age, about what a relationship is and is not. A
healthy, loving relationship
never includes a partner using
coercion, intimidation or physical violence to get his or her
way.
My heart breaks knowing
that in just a few months, I
will read Dr. Fayad’s name out
loud during our annual Silent
Witness ceremony to honor
the slain victims of domestic
violence. It is my hope that
the tragic death of Dr. Fayad
inspires us all to do our part
in this fight. We must change
the way we view this tragic
crime, and we must accept
that domestic violence is a
real problem in South
Carolina. We cannot sit idle
any longer, and risk losing
another life to this reckless
crime.

It’s Sunshine Week in South Carolina and the nation, March 15-21
By Bill Rogers
It’s Sunshine Week in South
Carolina and the nation.
It is a time to recognize
and encourage open government and letting the sun
shine in on public documents
and meetings.
You may not know there are
problems with transparency in
government in our state, but
there are, despite our Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA).
The preface to the FOIA says
it clearly: “...it is vital in a democratic society that public business be performed in an open
and public manner so that citizens shall be advised of the performance of public officials and
of the decisions that are
reached in public activity...”
Here are some stories during the past year where
reporters used the FOIA and
good reporting to bring about
change in their communities
and state:
In Aiken, the newspaper
filed FOI requests for city
council emails concerning a
painfully slow and mismanaged recovery effort after a
massive ice storm. The newspaper held city officials
accountable and it led to the
firing of the city manager.
In Bennettsville, open government didn’t exist at the
Marlboro County School
District. Information was withheld not only from the public
and the media, but from actual
school board members. The
newspaper’s reporting and editorials were credited with
making a difference in the next
school board election.
In Easley, a reporter began
is looking at a half dozen bills
that would require public bodies to have and post agendas,
cut the cost and shorten the
time to get copies of public
records, set up an FOI review
office so complaints wouldn’t
have to be resolved in court,
and make parts of autopsy
reports open to give oversight
in police shootings.
Legislators don’t hear much
challenging the Department of
Social Services about rumored
problems within the agency.
He was stonewalled by DSS
and the governor, but his
reporting showed what a small
weekly newspaper can do to
inform the public about a
statewide problem.
In Colleton County, a weekly newspaper used the FOIA to
investigate
inappropriate
behavior at the local school
district. The paper was able to
notify the school board and
the sheriff’s office that teachers were having sex with students.
And in a major statewide
investigation, The Post and
Courier in Charleston used the
FOIA to investigate why the
state was ranked as the deadliest in the nation for women
killed by men. This massive
effort resulted in their winning state and national recognition.
In another statewide case, a
reporter used the FOIA and
aggressive reporting to keep a
key hearing in the Bobby
Harrell ethics case from being
held in secret.
Despite these successes,
our state’s FOI law needs
improvement. The Legislature
from the public about the
FOIA. So if you care about government transparency, please
contact your local legislators
and ask them to support FOIA
reform. It will make a difference.

Hartsville
Continued from 1A
To avoid punitive action in
the form of city codes enforcement fines, the developer
offered to deed the property to
the city.
Lincoln Village is comprised
of eight two-story brick buildings that once housed 64 rental
apartments. It was once a thriving residential area, but several
ownership changes and years of
neglect brought it low. The
buildings became a hotbed of
drug-related crime, and looters
stripped out every pipe and wire
for sale as scrap. In recent
months, the buildings were
boarded up, awaiting a reprieve
that would not come.
“As you know, this has been
an eyesore for a long time.
We’ve had developers come in,
and it has transferred hands several times,” said Zeigler.
She added that the cost-free
property transfer would allow
JDL Castle to write it off as a loss
and let Hartsville apply for a
Community Development Block
Grant to demolish Lincoln
Village and convert it to green
space.
A document provided by the
Darlington County Assessor’s
Office values the property at
$110,000, with $15,000 in
added value from improvements. That same document
states that in August of 2012,
Hartsville Flats LLC paid
$275,000 for Lincoln Village.
Also at this meeting, the City
of Hartsville was formally designated a Certified Connected
Community in recognition of
the city’s efforts to improve and
utilize online resources for residents and visitors.
Jim Stritzinger, executive
director of state broadband initiative grantee Connect South
Carolina, said Hartsville is only
the sixth community statewide
to earn this distinction, and one
WEDNESDAY MARCH 18, 2015 | PAGE 3A
of only 43 such communities
nationwide.
“It complements greatly our
All American City award, and it
puts us on a different platform
with other cities across the
nation so that people see
Hartsville in a different light as
one that’s prepared to meet
technology challenges and
recruit economic development
in a connected city,” said Mayor
Mel Pennington.
Council voted in favor of several ordinances and resolutions:
Ordinance 4190 renewed the
lease of city-owned property at
147 West Carolina Ave. to FME
Nuclear Solutions, LLC for use
as office space.
4191 approved the continued
use of Byerly Park facilities for
Dixie Youth Baseball programs.
4192 approved the $11,000
purchase of a .027 acre parcel at
2602 West Bobo Newsome Hwy
to facilitate the expansion of the
Segars Mill Lift Station and
move the station from beneath
some power lines.
Resolution 03-15-01 awarded the plumbing maintenance
contract for City of Hartsville
facilities to Anderson Plumbing
of Hartsville.
03-15-02 grants exclusive
pouring rights for Byerly Park
concessions to Pepsi Cola
Bottling Company.
03-15-03 allows the city to
reimburse itself for expenses
incurred prior to issuance of $5
million in bonds to improve the
Public Works (water) system
and equip a new utility administration building.
03-15-04 awarded the
Lawton Park playground
equipment contract to Creative
Playscapes of Mooresville, NC,
for $150,000. The company
will
provide
a
natural
playscape featuring synthetic
climbing boulders. $75,000 of
the cost is funded by a Land
and Water Conservation Fund
grant, with the city picking up
the balance.

The mock home even has a
few tenants – a family of three
rescue dummies which, in
keeping with the low-cost
ethos, DFD wove out of fire
hoses as a kind of arts and crafts
project. The zero-dollar fire
hose family provides yet another savings, since a regular rescue dummy costs about a thousand bucks.
“Fire Engineering put this in
their
magazine,”
says
Cavanaugh, noting that each
woven dummy weighs the same
as an average adult or child.
“You can simulate finding a real
person and dragging them out.”
For use in thermal camera
drills, the dummies have hot
packs tucked into their pockets
so rescuers can locate them
through the smoke.

annual audit, for the fiscal year
that runs annually from July 1
to June 30.
Bradshaw said their was a
significant change from the
first six months under the previous town administration –
July 1, 2013 to January 2014;
Bradshaw had requested a
mini-audit done when he took
office in January of 2014, and
from information gleaned from
that report, was swift to make
changes to the town to trim
costs and work towards paying
past due state assessments.
“We’ve made major strides,”
said Bradshaw. “We are finally
living within our means as a
town.”
The Depot restoration project is moving along, with

many areas in the town.
“I like the thought of LED’s,”
said Bradshaw.
Council voted to entertain
further exploration into future
changes to the lighting in town.
Council also approved a
plan to restore electricity to the
two RV campsites at the Boat
Landing on the Great Pee Dee
River, to make it more attractive for renting, and raise the
fee for the campground from
the existing $5 a night fee to
$15 for one night, and $10 for

John Jerald
(Jerry) Boseman
Our loving father lost a
valiant battle with acute
myeloid
leukemia
on
Wednesday, March 4, 2015. He
was born March 24, 1932 in
Darlington, S.C., to William
Claude and
Eva Elizabeth
C r o l l e y
Boseman. As
an only child
growing up,
he was very
close to all his
m a n y
cousins. After graduation from
high school in 1950, he followed some of these cousins to
Salt Lake City where he met his
future bride, Afton Rowine
Christensen. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on
June 29, 1951. Dad then enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, which
would take him and our family
on worldwide adventures for
the next 23 years. He retired
from active duty in 1973, and
went on to obtain his B.S. from
Weber State College. That led
to his second career as a quality
control engineer at Morton
Thiokol, retiring in 1996.
Along the way he pursued several entrepreneurial ventures
seeking to satisfy a lifelong
desire to own his own business.
His passion for genealogy
allowed Dad and Mom to travel
around Utah in their little
motor home, meeting relatives
and enjoying life. He passed
along his “southern heritage”
to his offspring, who grew up
craving grits, collard greens,
and banana pudding. His love
of the gospel gave him many
opportunities for a lifetime of
church service. He leaves a
legacy of faith, service, love
and dedication from the example he set.
Jerry is survived by his sister-in-law

Keeping the Faith
He Who Has Ears
One autumn afternoon
my twin sister and I were ripping up the soil in my grandmother’s fallow garden. We
were only five-years-old, and
my sister, in her clod-crushing zeal, miscalculated the
distance at which I was
standing from her. I was
summarily whacked on top
of the head with a garden
hoe.
Two distinct memories fill
my
mind
about
that
moment: First, the warm,
oozing of blood running into
my left ear; and second, the
sight of my Medicare-receiving, apron-wearing grandmother running, yes, running, from the house to
scoop me into her arms.
There were no ambulances in my hometown.
There was no real emergency room. There was no
911 service. Even if these
things had been readily
available, it wouldn’t have
mattered. My grandmother
didn’t own a phone or drive
a car.
My aunt, who lived next
door, called my parents at
work. They arrived in record
time and whisked me away
to the office of Dr. Jerry
Barron, one of only three
doctors in town. Dr. Barron,
sadly, was a community
acknowledged quack, but on
this afternoon he was the
only option. See, Dr.
Thompson did not work on
Wednesdays, and nobody
really visited Doc Hill anymore, not unless it was a
matter of life and death.
Young mothers had lost
all confidence in Doc Hill
after he allegedly reported
to his clinic early one morning to deliver a new born
baby boy, drunk as the
proverbial skunk. The delivery was without complication, but the subsequent circumcision was a disaster.
So it was with great trepidation that I was passed
with a gushing head wound
into the hands of Dr. Barron,
the silver-haired idiot. I was
dragged to an examination
room where Dr. Barron separated me from my parents,
asking them to remain in his
clinic lobby. He, his two
nurses, and an office receptionist held me down to
place a dozen stitches in my
scalp.
I twisted and turned, convulsed and screamed, begging someone - anyone - to
explain what was happening. They continued their
work, never saying a word to
me. Finally, I screamed at
the top of my lungs, “Will
someone please talk to me!”
Apparently that was the
magic phrase. Dr. Barron
and his team of tormentors
actually stopped what they
were doing. He looked me in
the eyes, finally explained
what they were trying to do,
how long it would take, and
how much it would or would
not hurt. I then lay perfectly
still, the doctor only moving
my head occasionally, until
the procedure was complete.
I only needed someone to listen to me.
Listening is largely a lost
art. Medical professionals
run us through their offices
like cattle through a chute.
Politicians stubbornly ignore
our voices. Our children discount our counsel. Our
spouses cannot recall the
conversation we had just this
morning. Trusted friends
won’t lift a gaze from their
glowing capacitive screens
to look us in the eyes.
As I get older I understand more and more why
Jesus often said, “He who
has ears let him hear,” before
uttering some mind-blowing
instruction. Because for the
most part, we do not use
those two fleshy instruments
attached to the sides of our
heads.
At no time in human history has there been more
opportunity or more tools to
communicate; we’ve come a
long way from beating drums
and smoke signals. Still,
most of our advances have
been on the speaking side,
rather than the listening
side.
I wonder what would happen in our homes, office
cubicles, classrooms, doctor’s offices, church sanctuaries, and houses of legislation if we who have ears took
the time to actually use
them. We just might begin to
appreciate, rather than vilify,
those on the other side of the
aisle. We just might find that
the world would grow a little
quieter, a bit more peaceful.
We just might find that
those we have long ignored
actually have something
worth saying. We just might
discover
the
greatest
advancement in the history
of human communication the ability to not say a single
word.

Unsafe sleeping arrangement causes death of baby
A baby is most safe sleeping
in a crib is the general consensus of the sad story of the
death of a baby in Hartsville in
early March.
The Darlington County
Coroner ruled March 10 in the
death of 7-month-old Jaylen
McFarland,
infant
from
Hartsville who died Monday,
March 2. According to reports,
the cause of death was determined as Positional Asphyxia;
the child fell between the mattress he was sleeping on and
the wall of the bedroom at
Swift Creek Apartments.
Hardee also verified the
arrest of three people who
were charge in connection
with this death; Tyquira
Graham,
18,
Jabrey
McFarland, 20, and Jalisa
Cranford, 22, were arrested
each was charged with unlawful conduct toward a child.
Cranford and McFarland
are the child's parents; and
Graham
was
reportedly
babysitting, but that is yet
unconfirmed.
EMS was called and took
the child to Carolina Pines
Hospital where the baby died.
A judge set bond at
$25,000 each for McFarland
and Cranford. Graham's bond
was $10,000.
The tragedy of the death
left many wondering, what is
Positional Asphyxiation, and
how could this child’s life
been saved by prevention tips
on safe sleeping?
Positional asphyxia happens when a person can't get
enough air to breathe due to
the positioning of his/her
body. This happens most often
in infants, when an infant dies
and is found in a position
where his/her mouth and
nose
is
blocked, or
w h e r e
his/her chest
may
be
unable
to
fully expand.
It is felt that
the positioning of the Tyquira Graham
infant led to
a lack of oxygen and a
death
by
asphyxia
(suffocat i o n . )
Examples
include an
infant found
Jabrey
w e d g e d
McFarland
between
a
mattress and
the wall, an
infant sleeping on a
couch with
an adult who
is found with
his
face
p u s h e d
against the Jalisa Cranford
cushions of
the couch.
Positional asphyxia varies
from a death from SIDS in a
few important ways. A child is
said to die of SIDS (sudden
infant death syndrome) if
he/she:
•
is less than 1 year of
age,
•
died while sleeping
and that death remains unexplained after a thorough
investigation, including a
complete autopsy and review
of the circumstances of death
and clinical history.
An infant who dies while
sleeping in an otherwise safe
sleeping environment may
Lamar
Annual American Clean-up,
scheduled for the last week in
March. Howell said the cleanup
is crucial to get Lamar spiffed
up in advance of the Egg
Scramble Jamboree, set for
April 2 through 4.
Howell said that inmates
from Darlington County will be
helping with the cleanup, but
many volunteers are needed,
and all town residents are
encouraged to mow their
lawns, clear away junk, and put
on their best face for the annual influx of visitors.
Council member Mike Lloyd
said the contract for a pump
replacement water project
went to North American
Construction of Quinby, which
turned in a low bid of $69,000.
However, the town only
received $50,000 in grant
money from the state to pay for
this project, meaning Lamar
will need to come up with the
balance.
The pump replacement is

Clark noted that building
and codes inspector Henry
Chapman had given conditional approval pending an okay
from the county fire marshal.
Council voted to grant the variance, contingent on fire marshal approval.
Mayor Randy Reynolds then
thanked Epps for growing his
business and employing even
more Lamar residents – a practice Epps said he plans to continue.
“I’ve made a commitment
that my future hiring is going to
be within this town. If I can at
all avoid it, I’m not going outside this town for employment.
I haven’t done it for a year and
a half, and I don’t plan to do it
in the future,” said Epps.
Citizen Fran Knotts asked
Epps what the metal building
façade would look like. He said
that initially, the building will
be unadorned and set back
from the road, but with future
expansion, a brick façade will
be added to its Main Street
entrance.

still be called a SIDS death
even if he/she is found with
his mouth/nose in the mattress as long as no other reason for the death can be
found.
SC Children’s Trust and
SafeKids shared the following
information about safe sleep
practices for children for parents and caregivers:
• The leading cause of
death for 1 month to 1 year
old children is Sudden Infant
Death Syndrome (SIDS).
• There are measures that
can be taken to decrease the
likelihood of this occurring.
necessary due to notable levels
of radium detected from the
town’s No. 1 well. DHEC mandated that the pump be
replaced and Lamar install a
skater system allowing the
town to acquire water from
Darlington County Water and
Sewer Authority if demand
should exceed supply.
Lloyd explained again that
the best-case scenario would be
that the No. 1 well pump is simply defective and requires
replacement. In that case, the
project would be covered by
that $69,000 bid. If the pump is
not defective, then the problem
lies deeper and would require
an extensive cleaning effort
costing an additional $25,000.
Work on the pump is scheduled
to begin the week of March 23.
The Lamar Egg Scramble
will be held April 2 - 4 in Lamar,
with events including a car
show, carnival, night parade on
Friday, Saturday parade, and

Falcons run rule Knights in five and improve to 3-0 on the year
By Drake Horton
Contributing Writer
For the second time in one
week the Darlington Falcons
baseball team ended a game in
the fifth inning, this time beating the Crestwood Knights 10-0
this past Friday at home.
Using a combination of stout
pitching, timely hitting and the
ability to capitalize on
Crestwood’s numerous mistakes the Falcons cruised to an
easy victory, improving not
only to 3-0 on the young season, but more importantly to 10 in the region.
Darlington’s starting pitcher
Brycen Brown pitched a marvelous four innings, not giving
up any runs, allowing only two
hits and facing only one hitter
over the minimum for the four
innings he pitched.
“Brycen threw 35 pitches in
four innings and I bet I can
count on one hand how many
balls he had,” Darlington baseball head coach Billy Sylvester
said on Brown’s performance.
“He pounded the strike zone,
kept our defense on its toes.”
The Falcons Austin White
came in and closed the game
out in the fifth for Darlington.
White got off to rough start
in the inning throwing his first
seven pitches for a ball. After
that, however, it was like a light
switch came on as White struck
out two of the next three
Crestwood hitters while nine of
his next 12 pitches were for
strikes.
“So far when our guys have
been in the bullpen and coming
into the game and even in their
warmups, when they have
thrown really well they don’t
do as well when they come into
the game,” Sylvester said on
why White struggled early. “I
think they get a mentality and
we’ve talked about it, a mentality where we can just throw it
up there and everything is
going to be perfect, and then
when we throw bad in the pen
and bad in the warmup then
we know we got to focus and
we make better pitches and we
pitch well when we get out
there.”
Darlington jumped on
Crestwood early in the first
inning, scoring three runs
while the Knights committed
five errors.
The Falcons added four runs
in the second inning, this by a
more conventional way as
Darlington recorded four hits
in the inning, including Garrett
Revell’s two-RBI triple. The
other two runs came off a
Crestwood wild pitch and Jaret
Boswell’s fielder’s choice in
which everybody ended up
being safe.
By the third inning, with the
Falcons up 7-0, Sylvester began
to unload his bench letting
some of the other players get
valuable playing time.
While those players may not
be starters they were not going
to let this moment pass them
by.
“We got to give them a
chance to play and tonight was
a good night and they didn’t
disappoint us,” Sylvester said
on how his reserves played
against Crestwood. “They
played like they were supposed
to play and like we expect them
because that is why we kept
them. I hope we get a lot more
games where we can get them
in and let them play as much as
everybody else.”
Needing to score three more
runs in the bottom of the fourth
to set up the potential for an
early ending game in the fifth,
Falcons earn a third win, beating Crestwood Knights with a score of
10-0 at home Friday, March 13.

Falcons comeback twice and win a close one against Lamar
By Drake Horton
Contributing Writer
The season might be early,
but that does not mean something cannot be learned.
Down twice in the game, the
Darlington Falcons baseball
team learned a valuable lesson
in what it means to show grit
and heart, coming back and
beating its cross-county rival,
the Lamar Silver Foxes by a score
of 5-4 this past Wednesday,
March 11 at home.
“I’m telling you Lamar is a
good team,” Darlington baseball
head coach Billy Sylvester said
after the game. “They (Lamar)
they can swing it. Their top
seven guys are swinging the bat
pretty good. We got behind early
and had to give in and they didn’t miss it. “They hit the ball
good, played decent defense and
for us to get a win, we are
pleased with it.”
Lamar, one of the better
teams in 1A over the last five
years, went toe to toe with
Darlington, no slouch of its own
at the 3A over the last five years.
“I thought we played well, I
wasn’t disappointed in our
effort,” Lamar baseball head
coach Adam Windham said. “We
had been a little flat the last two
games coming out so tonight we
just wanted to come out with
energy and we did that.”
Darlington was able to make
plays when it counted and capitalized on what few mistakes
Lamar did make to complete the
comeback.
“We made one or two, too
many mistakes to win the ball
game, struck out a couple times
looking with runners in scoring
position; you can’t do that and
win,” Windham said.
Up 2-1 after four innings,
Darlington starting pitcher Eric
Dubose looked to be in control,
striking out the first two Silver
Fox batters in the top of the fifth,
but unfortunately for Dubose
and the Falcons, Lamar was able
ball, hit the ball.”
After a scoreless sixth inning
Lamar made one more attempt
at a comeback as the Silver Foxes
were able to get a runner on
third base with two outs.
Darlington’s Dustin Knotts, who
had come on in the sixth, was
able to strike Galloway out to
end the game and give the
Falcons the victory.
“I just came in and shut them
down, I couldn’t think of nothing
else,” Knotts said on his pitching
performance.
Lamar jumped to an early 10 lead in the first inning, but
Darlington answered in the second, tying the game up in the
bottom half of the inning White
jumped on Lamar’s Luke
Amerson’s first pitch for an RBI
double to right center field.

to find some of the so called
“two-out magic”.
Following the quick two outs,
Dubose gave up a single and followed that with a walk prompting Sylvester to change pitchers,
sending Brycen Brown to the
mound for the Falcons.
The change did not faze
Lamar, as Daniel Galloway blasted a two-out double into the left
center field, scoring two for the
Silver Foxes and giving Lamar a
3-2 lead.
The bleeding did not stop
there, however, for Darlington.
After Galloway’s at bat, Lamar’s
Cole Bennett, who already had a
RBI in the first inning, singled to
left field and an error by the
Falcons Austin White allowed
Galloway to score, giving the
Silver Foxes a 4-2 lead.
Darlington responded with a
three-run inning in the bottom
half of the fifth.
The Falcons did and saw a little bit of everything that inning.
After loading the bases following back to back walks and a hit
batsman, Darlington’s Luke
Bonnoitt’s ground ball went
through the legs of Lamar’s
Parker Vause, allowing two runs
to score and tying the game back
up a four.
“We didn’t lie down,”
Sylvester said. “We were able to
come back and work the count
and get a couple of walks and hit
batsman and then to get a hit and
Chop (Justin Mack) got a big sac
fly to get the go ahead run in.”
Mack, Darlington’s first baseman, hit what ended up being
the game-winning RBI sacrifice
fly right after all the walks and
the Lamar error, giving the
Falcons a 5-4 lead.
“I had a lot of pressure on me,
but my team relied on me and I
knew I was going to come
through like I did last year
against Strom Thurmond,”
Mack said on the at bat. “So I just
kept my head on straight; see the
run of the inning off of two
more Crestwood errors.
Those big plays in the bottom of the fourth allowed
White and the Falcons defense,
as it had done all night long, to
shut down the Crestwood
offense and end the game in
just five innings.
Stout pitching and timely
hitting was not the only thing
Darlington showcased against
the Knights. Throughout the
game the Falcons showed of
their ability to manufacture
offense with timely, well executed bunts.
“We had a game plan to put
the ball on the ground and bunt
balls and use our speed
because we worked on that
thing for two hours yesterday,
getting bunts down and getting
out of the box,” Sylvester said
on Darlington’s exceptional
bunting against the Knights. “It
just
happened
that
he
(Crestwood’s pitcher) was
throwing strikes in there and
we were able to get some down
and use our speed.”
The Falcons had three bunt
singles and two successful sacrifice bunts.
With the victory Darlington
improved to 3-0, outscoring its
opponents 27-4 in the three
games it played this week,
including two shutouts in
which both ended in the fifth
inning due to the run rule.

School board approves calendar
At their regular March meeting, the Darlington County
Board of Education voted to add
a professional development day
for school district employees
onto the end of the school year
to make up for a professional
development day lost in March.
Friday, June 5 will now be a professional development day for
the Darlington County School
District (DCSD) teachers and
staff.
South Carolina state law
requires school districts to make
up all school days missed due to
inclement weather (South
Carolina 59-1-425). Teachers
are required to have ten professional
development
days
throughout the year and students are required to attend
school 180 days. Due to the ice
storm in February, DCSD students missed one day of school.
To make up the missed day,
March 13 was switched from a
professional development day to
a normal school day. This
allowed students to make up the
missed day without extending
the school year for students. In
order for teachers to meet their
required ten days of professional
development, the board added a
workday to the end of the school
year, making June 5 a professional development day for
teachers. Students will not
attend school on June 5.
School District has released a
revised calendar for the remainder of the year. The revised cal-
endar reflects the changes from
inclement weather as well as the
new state assessment dates. For
more information, call the
Darlington County School
District Office of Communications at 843-398-2284.
The DCSD Calendar for the
remainder of the year is as follows:
March 2015
13: Regular school day (make
up day for inclement weather)
23: End of 3rd quarter
27: Early Dismissal; Report
card preparation
30-Apr. 3: Spring Break for
students & all but 12-month
employees
April 2015
1-3: Spring Break for 12month employees
8: Report cards issued
28: Aspire Testing (grades 38); ACT (grade 11)
29: Aspire Testing (grades 38); WorkKeys (grade 11)
30: Aspire Testing (grades 38)

Last week’s photo was of one of the cotton bolls painted on the
warehouse on 308 S. Main Street, where the Palmetto Office
Furniture store is now open for business!
Readers that guessed correctly include: Ann Easterling, Bill Segars,
Dr. Cliff Wilson, James Powers, Kay Jeffords, and Francis Parnell.
Francis remembers when the building was the Tomilson-Howard
Warehouse, and he used to ride with his dad and Mr. Kirby to pick
up merchandise to sell in the Kirby grocery store.

Central Baptist Church celebrates 100 years
By Jana E. Pye
Editor
[email protected]
“We have something special here at Central,” said
Pastor Tim Coker. “And we
are proud to be a part of
Darlington.”
Celebrating their 100th
Anniversary this year, Central
Baptist Church will hold a
special service on March
22nd with The Lord’s Supper
for one service only at 11:00
a.m., and will welcome home
generations of families that
grew up in this church, that
was once part of First Baptist
Church.
“It is wonderful to see that
here a century later, these
two churches are the largest
and contribute so much to the
community.”
Rev. Tim Coker, Pastor at
Central Baptist Church.
The original community
members that formed the
church on the basis of the
Welsh Neck Confession of
Faith met at the old
Darlington Guards Armory on
Main Street, and decided
upon the name of Central
Baptist Church, with 35 members in attendance: Smilie
Vaughan, Angus Gainey, A.C.
Coggeshall, Mrs. A.C.
Coggeshall, Collin Coggeshall,
W.T.. Harper, Miss Fannie
Harper, Varleigh Ward, J. P.
Hewitt, C.B. Edwards, Miss

W.L. Ward, Mrs. W.L. Ward,
Miss Jannie Lou Ward, Mrs.
J.H. Fender, Miss Maude
Ward, Mrs. Albert Jeffords,
Miss Florence Edwards, Mrs.
D.W. Horton, P.H. Edwards,
Jr., B.E. Woodruff, Mrs. H. M.
Smith, Miriam Hutchinson,
Miss Azile Estes, and Miss
Mary Edwards. Immediately
following the meeting, eight
members were received: Mrs.
Smilie Vaughan, Miss Haskell
Vaughan, Warren Coggeshall,
George H. Edwards, Jr., C.B.
Edwards, Jr., Henry
Humprhries, W.C. Edwards,
and Miss Margaret Edwards.
The first preachers were
visiting ministers; after five
months, the first preacher
was called on August 22,
1915, Rev. G.C. Epps of
Carrolton, Texas and assumed
duties on October 3, 1915.

CROSSWORD
100 Years
Continued from 1B
According to the church
history, Rev. Epps was promised $100.00 to help with
moving expenses from Texas
to South Carolina, and a
salary of $75.00 a month. The
group met at first at the Old
Opera House, later known as
the Liberty Theater, until their
beautiful Georgian Revival
church was built on the corner of Park and Main Streets,
next to the Carnegie Library.
The church building was dedicated on May 5, 1918.
The church thrived at this
location, and many members
of Darlington today recall
fond memories of baptisms,
holidays, and weddings; when
the News and Press featured
a photo of the first sanctuary
in 2013,Dr. Cliff Wilson called
and said, “I remember my Boy
Scout confirmation in that
sanctuary.”
As the church grew, the
congregation decided to build
a larger campus and acquired
land on Spring Street. A
ground breaking was held on
April 17, 1966 and the first
church service led by Rev.
James E. Daughtry was held
on June 25, 1967. An evening
outdoor service was held in
honor of Miss Annie Edwards,
with former pastors Rev.
Robert Clyde, Rev. James
Rogers, Rev. James Bowers in
attendance.
In the past 47 years at the
current location, the church
now has a thriving ministry
that includes a kindergarten
2k – 5K, and a variety of programs for all ages, including
AWANA, Boys Scouts, Girls
Scouts, youth group, and
adult ministries.
Rev. Coker has been at
Central Baptist since 1995,
and he and his wife Donna,
have two children,
Christopher and Ashton.
“Our church is strong in
our commitment to missions,”
said Rev. Coker. “Our congre-
Central Baptist Church first sanctuary held services until 1967; the new sanctuary is shown on page 1B.
gation has a large commitment to local missions,
including The Lord Cares,
Darlington County Free
Medical Clinic, and we are
making plans now to develop
a Soup Kitchen.”
The church also has a commitment to fitness, with
church member Curtis Boyd
and his family of Fitness
World Gyms being a positive
congregating spot for many
people in the Pee Dee.
“Curtis is one of many of
our congregation that shows
his faith in all he does, and
we appreciate him so much,”
said Coker. “The current ‘Ride
for Christ’ – where folks can
gather on Sunday mornings
for a spin class set to
Christian music is just one of
the ways the church message
spreads beyond the sanctuary
to the community.”
The mission field goes far
beyond Darlington, however.
Central Baptist supports
mission trips within the U.S.,
with one upcoming to
Baltimore MD, and several
congregation members just
went on a mission trip
Nicaragua March 6 - 14: Katie
Bollinger, Ryan Bollinger,
Jonathan Bryant, CJ Grant,
Danielle Kriss, Kameron
Reames, Max Ward, Jace
Watford, and Jim Watson.
Another congregation
member, Hannah Chapman,
just returned from Guatemala
with her school. Yet another
member, Jason Norris, was in
Haiti and scheduled to return
on March 15.
Rev. Coker saw first hand
how caring this congregation
was when he went through
cancer treatments seven years
ago.
“I looked out to see several
of men in my congregation
with their heads shaved,” said
Coker with a wide smile. “You
don’t know what that meant
to me.”
As a cancer survivor, Coker
has a newfound perspective
on how to minister to his
flock. “I have calls from all
over the area, not just from
Central, to help people who
have been newly diagnosed,”
he said. “No one understands
it like a survivor.”
Coker also is especially
compassionate to individuals
dealing with the affects of
Alzheimer’s disease, which
his late father suffered from
before his passing.
The church currently has
three services, a traditional
service with hymns with
piano accompaniment at 8:30
a.m., and a “contemporary”
service with a praise band at
10:30 a.m. on Sundays, and
services on Wednesday
nights.
“We were one of the first
churches to put lyrics up on a
screen,” said Coker. “And use
other what may be called
modern technology such as
using videos from time to
time.” Pointing to the large
collection of books on the
shelves that line his office,
Coker added, “But, I love to
hold the Bible in my hand on
Sunday. There is something
about holding a book in your
hand that I love…especially
that one.”

Ever had this pointed
remark shot in your direction?
“You have your nose stuck (or
“buried”) in a book again.”
When you heard it, the tone
never sounded like a question
or praise did it? When you
heard it, the tone usually
smacked of annoyance, impatience, frustration, or exasperation in that you were wasting
time on something unimportant. Did you apologize for
frittering away hours with
your nose stuck in a book? No?
Good! This idiomatic phrase
just means is you are closely
reading
a
book.
The
Darlington County Library
System believes you should
never apologize for being a
reader. Readers owe no one an
apology for doing what they
enjoy!
The most important thing is
that people read,” according to
English author Neil Gaiman.
He is right. As the author of
“The Sandman” series and
novels “Stardust”, “American
Gods”, “Coraline”, and “The
Graveyard Book”, a winner of
the Hugo, Nebula, Bram
Stoker award, and the children’s books Newbery and
Carnegie medals (first author
to win both the Newbery and
the Carnegie medals for the
same work, “The Graveyard
Book”), he should know. He
went on to say, “Don't ever
apologize to an author for buying something in paperback,
or taking it out from a library
(that's what they're there for.
Use your library). Don't apologize to this author for buying
books second hand, or getting
them from bookcrossing or
borrowing a friend's copy.
What's important to me is that
people read the books and
enjoy them, and that, at some
point in there, the book was
bought by someone. And that
people who like things, tell
other people.” The best
authors want their writings to
be read and encourage reading. You would never hear an
author say, “there you go
again, your nose stuck in
another book,” unless, maybe

it was another author’s book!
The Library and a whole
host of others in our community, across the state, and the
nation encourage reading!
From First Steps, which works
with parents of young children, to the Darlington County
schools’ dedicated staff, as
seen in the film “180 Days:
Hartsville”, there are many in
our community dedicated to
getting children to read.
Members of our legislative delegation, such as Senator
Gerald Malloy, House Speaker
Jay Lucas, and Representative
Robert Williams continue
working to provide funding for
our schools, the Library, and
others encourage education
and reading because they
know it is critically importance
to our future. Librarians, educators, and legislators might
be heard to say, “There is nothing wrong with children having their noses stuck in books
because it is a sure sign they
are learning.”

Never apologize for being a reader
By Jimmie Epling
Director
Darlington County Library System
or Society Hill, you will be
encouraged as a reader to pursue your favorite authors, genres, and subject. It doesn’t
matter the format, print or
electronic, we encourage
everyone to read.
If you enjoy reading a
bound book, do not apologize!
It is not old fashion to want to
read a bound book. The
Library welcomes readers of
bound books as it always has.
Come into the Library at
any time to casually browse
the books in the collection
and discover unexpected
treasures on the shelves.
When you have found that
special book, you may pluck it
from the shelf to admire its
cover art, feel its weight in
your hands, smell the scent of
its pages, and open it to read
about what is within. Once
you have chosen your treasures you can borrow them
from the Library to take home.
Once at home, you can curl up
on a comfy couch or “rough it”
in a patio chair in the wild
outdoors with a glass of your
favorite beverage with your

nose buried in a bound book.
Readers who are immigrants and natives to the digital world need not apologize
for your reading preference!
All you have done is decide to
read something in a different
format. Words are no longer
bound to the printed page.
They can now be seen on a
small screen to be read. We
have been reading screens
since the beginning of the
1900s with silent movies and
from the 1950s with TVs. The
only difference now is the
screen is part of a small device
that is battery powered and
portable. Advocates of reading
on portable devices note the
number of books you can have
with you at all times, the light
weight, being able to read in
poor light, changing the size of
the type, and my personal
favorite, propping it up on a
pillow and never having to
hold it open. There are a few
drawbacks for readers using a
mobile device, like the battery
can die, it cannot be dropped
from 20 feet onto concrete
with little damage, it has an
off switch, and possibly the
most frustrating problem,
“Please turn off all electronic
devices as the plane is about to
takeoff (or land)”.
For those who want to read
on their portable device, they
can now browse the Library’s
online catalog to discover the
thousands of e-books in our
collection. You no longer need
to go anywhere but the
Library’s online catalog at
www.darlington-lib.org
to
find the e-books in our collection. The process is easy and
fast if you have a library card.
What is the benefit of having your “nose stuck in a
book?” Let’s say your parents
started you reading 20 minutes every day beginning in
Kindergarten
and
going
through the sixth grade. You
would have read over 1.8 million words before starting the
seventh grade. Because of all
that reading, you developed a
tremendous vocabulary. With
it, you would have the words,
the tools, you need to express
your thoughts to others,
understand complex problems, be successful in life, and
help others. The late President
Harry Truman is quoted as
saying, “Not all readers are
leaders, but all leaders are
