FBC BB CAMP B1 New recreation complex for Darlington By Jana E. Pye Editor [email protected] The July meeting of the Darlington City Council was a long one, but the best news of the night according to Darlington Area Recreation Department Director Lee Andrews – were the votes relat- ed to new ball fields for the city. Council approved First Reading of Ordinance 2016-11, a Hospitality Tax Bond in the amount of $1.5 million to develop a baseball and softball complex. The bond will be paid by revenue generated by hospi- tality tax from the site, which will be a tourism related attrac- tion and may be used by local teams and to host tournaments. Council member Bryant Gardner asked if a playground could be developed on site, which was confirmed by Andrews to be included. Later in the meeting, council also voted to approve First Reading of Ordinance 2016-13 regarding the purchase of 100 acres for the proposed recre- ation complex, on a site located off Lawson Road. According to Andrews, the property has over 55 acres of usable land with two areas of wetlands. The S & ME, Inc. from Conway prepared a 137- page report on the land insur- ing the area is environmentally clean. “The great thing about recreation is we don’t have to build in structures,” said Andrews. “We have a lot of trails and green spaces we can use. On an aerial view off Byerly Park, they have about 100 acres too, and on the 47 acres developed they have 8 combination baseball – softball fields, 6 tennis courts, 2 foot- ball fields, 1 regulation sized track, 12 horseshoe pits, 3 stor- age buildings, 1 maintenance shop, and 566 parking spaces. The parking at Blue Street and BA Gary, well, the parking is a premium at both. So just hav- ing 566 parking spaces on 47 acres excites me, because that means I can put people there.” Andrews continued; “When you are talking about a base- ball and softball complex, we have to really think of it as a recreational complex; not everybody plays baseball and softball, I understand that. We need green space, place for cit- izens to go walk and not worry about their kids because there is a playground for them. We are in dire need of recreational facilities. Whether we do this here, or someplace else, we have to do something. The facilities we have field-wise, I will put up against anybody in the area including Byerly Park. Our fields are second to none as far as playing surfaces. But our facilities around the fields are dead last.. and I am some- times ashamed that we host some things, but, we do.. and people come play at our facili- ties.” Darlington hosted the Ozone District over the past year at the Blue Street field, with teams coming from Marlboro County, Cheraw, Hartsville, Lee County, and more. “We invested in a portable restroom for that facility – not a port-a-john, a nice air-condi- tioned mobile restroom facility and it did it’s job.” Andrews said that the prop- erty adjoins 50 acres owned by the Pee Dee Land Trust, and that area could tie into a natu- ral preserve similar to Williamson Park. A boardwalk could be built over the wet- lands area to create another green space for a variety of recreation, perhaps a walking trail, dog park, Frisbee golf, etc. Mayor Gloria Hines signed documents from USDA’s Stewart Hucks the USDA Grant Acceptance for a Police Car, a 50-50 match on purchasing two vehicles for the Darlington Police Department for the price of one.

PHOTO BY SAMANTHA LYLES Two arrested for double homicide: grandmother and child found dead Hartsville’s All-America City youth By Samantha Lyles Staff Writer [email protected] The City of Hartsville recently received the 2016 All-America City designation. Paired with its 1996 win, this marks the second time Hartsville has been so recog- nized for concerted efforts toward community building. At the July 12 regular meet- ing of Hartsville City Council, students Archie Torain, Ty'Quan Coe, Chris Berry, Niesha Smith, and Chynna Addison spoke to council about their experiences as youth delegates at the 2016 All-America City ceremonies in Denver, Colorado. “Every city in America had a story to tell, and some were told a little better than oth- ers,” said Torain, 16, adding that he learned to appreciate the importance of origin sto- ries. “Even though you're pos- itive in where you're going, never forget where you came from and where you started.” “I had an awesome experi- ence in Denver,” said Smith, 18. “I got to meet a lot of dif- ferent people... and I was very grateful to have a great team with me.” “I just knew in my heart that we were going to win,” said Coe, 18, who expressed faith that Hartsville's youth are the key to keeping the city moving forward. “It's youth that brings everybody togeth- er... because they're the future and they're bringing up new traditions.” The teens all seemed to share Coe's sentiment that even though they might not have been close before the trip, their Denver experience bonded them for life. This team of six teens and twenty adults traveled to Denver and spoke with a judging panel about various community improvement programs the city has devel- oped. The judges heard about local teamwork with industry and non-profits like Sonoco, the Byerly Foundation, the Community Foundation for a Better Hartsville, Carolina’s Kids, Darlington County First Steps, the Sonoco-funded $5 million PULSE (Partners for Unparalleled Local Scholastic Excellence) educational ini- tiative, and outdoor learning program Cypress Adventures. The kids also shared with judges their personal experi- ences growing up in Hartsville, and offered musi- cal performances to highlight their stories. On the meeting's regular agenda, council passed final reading of Ordinance 4255, clearing the way for sidewalk vending businesses to sell wares in the city. This change was brought about when a teenager petitioned the city to open a hot dog vending cart downtown, catering to the lunch trade. Council authorized the pur- chase of several parcels of land for blight abatement, future development, and the construc- tion of a planned police and fire complex. These parcels include three lots totaling 1.033 acres and a building near the West Carolina Avenue and Sixth Street intersection, where the shuttered Marketplace conven- ience store was located, costing $425,000. Another .34 acre parcel near 7th Street will cost an additional $165,000. Council also approved application to the SC Housing neighborhood initiative pro- gram, which could yield a $420,000 grant to help acquire and demolish crime- attracting blight properties in the Historic Butler District. This grant, if received, would require a local 10-percent match for cost overages. Lamar passes 12-percent water rate hike By Samantha Lyles Staff Writer [email protected] Lamar Town Council held their regular monthly meet- ing July 11 – the first meeting since the town included a 12- percent increase in water and sewer rates for the 2016/17 fiscal year budget. During budget delibera- tions last month, council member Mike Lloyd said he knew the town needed to pass an increase, but he could not – and did not – support such a large bump. “I'm still against it. Voted against it. It's in the minutes,” said Lloyd. Prior to the increase, Lamar charged flat sewer rates of $12.35 (inside) and $24.70 (outside) and water rates of $8.23 for 1,000 gal- lons (residential inside) and $14.81 for 1,000 gallons (res- idential outside). Apartment water rates are currently $14.81 for 1,000 gallons. At council's June 13 meet- ing, Mayor Pro Tem Jackie Thomas explained that since Lamar fell so far behind state standards for water and sewer rates (with no rate hikes between 1989 and 2008), the town has approved increases nearly every year since and still has a lot of ground to make up before Lamar can qualify for grant money to make necessary sys- tem upgrades. Lamar's water system trou- bles, including the closing of two wells due to traces of radium, caused the town to cease pumping water locally and purchase all residential and commercial water from the Darlington County Water and Sewer Authority. This changeover has resulted in large monthly bills, inflated every time a leak goes unde- tected, and the town has little choice but to share that cost burden with municipal water customers. Also at this meeting, Janie Howell of the Downtown Pride Committee (a citizen group that conducts volun- teer clean-up efforts and urges residents to maintain their properties) asked for more responsiveness and sup- port from town officials. Howell noted that letters asking property owners (many of whom reside out of town) to cut grass, clean up, and better maintain their premises are regularly draft- ed by the Committee, but per their agreement with Lamar the letters are mailed from the police department. These requests, if not answered, can result in the town taking action to effect a clean up, and that cost can be trans- ferred back to the owner via a property lien. Howell said that these notification are not being mailed out in a timely fashion and she asked council to please help speed the process along. “I made a list in March and another list in April. None of them were mailed,” said Howell. “On June 20th I made a third list of people who need to clean. That list, I am told, got mailed today.” Howell questioned whether this laxity reflected a lack of com- mitment, asking if the town want- ed Downtown Pride to continue with their work. “If you don't want us to do it, all you have to do is tell me and we'll just stop,” said Howell. Mayor Randy Reynolds praised the committee's work and urged them to keep up their efforts. Howell also noted that the Darlington County Council on Aging has finally upgraded Lamar's aged transport van, used to drive seniors to the Darlington center and other activities, and a brand-new van is due for purchase in the near future.

The Man Owed 40¢By Bill shepard

The man owed me .40¢, the wages for a full day’s work! I don’tknow why the memory surfaced at this late date. I forgave theman of his indebtedness a long time ago. I wonder why I stillremember in detail everything that occurred on that day and eventhe days that followed. Here is the story just as I remember it hap-pening.

The year was 1937 and I was a young teenager. School was outfor the summer and I was free to go in search for work at nearbyfarms. I had done that each summer since I was big enough to pickcotton.

When I was a boy, the old Hartsville Highway passed throughthe village and cut a straight line to Hartsville, fourteen milesaway. The farmlands began just beyond the village and continuedon to Hartsville. The farmers along that road were always glad tohave the village children to help gather their crops during thesummer months when school was out. There was plenty of workto be done.

Two prominent and well-known families owned sprawlingfarmlands all along that road. The Henry Smith family and the W.P. Law family are the two that I remember best. The man that I amwriting about was a poor sharecropper on one of W. P. Law’sfarms. I heard that the man was in need of help on his farm. Eagerto begin earning some money, I went to see the man and to inquireif I could have the job. I walked the nearly two miles to the man’shouse and sure enough, he wanted someone to help plow his field.I learned that the man worked on the WPA, in order to surviveuntil his farm crops were harvested. For those reading who maynot know, the WPA (Works Project Administration) was one of theprojects that President Roosevelt had enacted to help get folkthrough the Great Depression Era. A man could earn .50¢, pluswhatever government commodities were available. I knew aboutthe WPA, I knew a lot of men who worked on the project and Iheard many stories that were told about the work and the workers.Many of our national, state and county parks were built by thoseworkers.

After talking with the man and agreeing about my wages to beearned, I left the man with the promise that I would be back atdaybreak the next day. I whistled as I walked the dirt road that ledpast the Smith Plantation and on to the village and home. I hadfound my job for the summer, so I thought.

The man had offered me .30¢ a day, plus breakfast and a noonmeal, or .40¢ a day without any meals. I had said that I wouldbring my own lunch from home and take the .40¢ deal.

As promised, I was at the man’s house by daybreak the nextday. As I approached the back of the house, I saw that the door tothe kitchen was open and the family was seated around the tableeating breakfast. Without asking me in or asking if I wanted to eat,the man looked up and spoke, “Go to the barn and hitch the muleup to the wagon. I’ll be there when I finish breakfast.”

I did as he said and went to the barn. The man showed upshortly and helped in getting everything loaded. He rode on thewagon with me and as we went, he told me that he would be leav-ing shortly to report for his work with the WPA. He would be backby late afternoon. We traveled to a large field where he hadploughed the day before. We hitched the mule to the plow and heploughed a round or two to show me what he wanted done. Afterwatching me plough a row or two, he left walking and said hewould be back when it was time to end the day’s work. I was doingwhat I liked to do, and to think that this man trusted me to workalone made me feel all good inside. I felt all grown up! Around andaround and around – breaking up ground was a slow process andit could take hours, even days to plough a large field, using justone mule and plough. There were no tractors available in thosedays.

It was a long day and the sun was going down when the manreturned. We hitched the mule back to the wagon and headed forthe house. On the way back, the man told me that he had lost hisjob on the WPA and would not need for me to come back the nextday. He said that he would pay me the .40¢ when he got his pay,later that week. “Come to the house on Saturday,” he said. “And Iwill pay you.”

I walked home tired and disappointed – I no longer had a job.Saturday, I was at his house early, only to be told he had notcashed his check, but I could meet him on the Courthouse stepsaround noontime and he would be there. I said I would and kepthis word, but he did not show up!

I don’t recall how many times I went to his home, only to be dis-appointed. Excuses, excuses, and more excuses. I finally facedreality; the man was not ever going to pay me and he didn’t. Yes,it bothered me. When I would go to town on Saturdays, I wouldlook for his face among the groups of men that often gathered onthe Square and around the Courthouse.

Perhaps he was never able to pay me. Times were hard as nails,and wasn’t easy to keep food on a man’s table. These were chal-lenging times. The man moved off of that farm before the end ofthat year. I never saw him again. Another man came the next yearand I did work for him. I remember both men well, but the onethat owed me forty cents is the one whose memory lingered thelongest.

By Corey Hutchins

Philando Castile, a blackman in Minnesota who wasshot and killed by a 28-year-old police officer namedJeronimo Yanez during a traf-fic stop, was about my age. Wemight have had plenty in com-mon, or not much at all.

But when details of hiskilling emerged, I learned ofone potential similaritybetween us that also set us aworld apart: Like Castile, Ihave a permit to carry a gun.

I, too, have been pulledover by police. The differenceis that Castile was black and Iam white. When he got pulledover with his gun permit, hewas shot and killed. When I’mpulled over and show my per-mit, it gets me out of trafficfines.

According to Castile’s girl-friend, Diamond Reynolds,who posted a live video toFacebook of her boyfriendbleeding in the driver’s seatwhile the officer’s gun is stilldrawn, Castile had a permit tocarry a weapon. She says hetold the officer he had afirearm and was reaching forhis ID when the officer shotand killed him.

“He had a permit to carry,”Castile’s mother said on CNN.

In discussing the killing,Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton,a Democrat, has pointed toCastile’s race as a factor.

“Would this have happenedif the driver were white, if thepassengers were white?” thegovernor asked. “I don’t thinkit would have.”

This is not abstract for me.

I have been pulled overwith my own gun permit sev-eral times, but I’m a white guydriving a Volkswagen. Andsince I got my concealed carrypermit, I’ve been treated verydifferently by officers eachtime they’ve pulled me over.Instead of tickets that lead tofines, I’ve gotten off withwarnings. The permit hassaved me hundreds of dollarssince I got it.

Why? The answer is ananecdote I used to tell at par-ties. I don’t feel so hot about itnow.

In 2009, as a journalist inSouth Carolina, I took a week-end class and got a concealedweapons permit for a storyabout the rise in permit appli-cations and firearms sales fol-lowing the election ofDemocratic President BarackObama.

My instructor was a liberalNew York transplant who pre-viously taught college English.At the end of our two-daytraining, he told us— all of uswhite— about one of the perksof having a concealedweapons permit: We wouldlikely never get another trafficticket again.

The next time you getpulled over, our instructorsaid, hand over your permitwith your license and insur-ance card. Tell the officerwhether you are armed and ifthere’s a gun in the car. Whenthe officer sees the permit, theinstructor said, his “wholedemeanor will change.” Wewill likely get off with just awarning.

The instructor was right.

For me, anyway.Since I got my permit in

2009, I’ve been pulled over bypolice multiple times. I haveyet to get a ticket.

The first time was in a smallSouth Carolina town where Iwas clocked at 16 miles overthe limit. The officer chidedme for not having a gun on meat the time. Getting a writtenwarning, he said, doesn’t hap-pen much in this town, as hehanded me one that saved me

around $200.The next time was more

egregious. It came in the earlymorning hours at a DUI check-point on a major road in a mid-sized city. My destination wasjust before the checkpoint, ona side street, and when Iturned onto that street twoofficers chased me down onfoot and pounded on my car,yelling for me to stop.

Philando Castile’s Gun Permit Might Have Gotten Him Killed. I’m White. MyOwn Permit Gets Me Out of Traffic Fines.

Public plea to the Mayor ofDarlington

As a voter, citizen and business personin Darlington I wanted to take a fewmoments to air a concern that I haveregarding the apparent lack of cohesive-ness, team work and mutual respectamong certain members of the city staff.

I was recently made aware of and lis-tened to an audio recording whereby theMayor stated, in public, that “...the CityManager and the Chief of Police, theyain’t on my side” and further “I’m tryingto get a Sheriff in there, I can go to thathelps me out when there’s a situation.”

I am VERY concerned that such publicstatements are irresponsible and under-mine the very institutions that she hassworn to support and which are requiredto function in ourder to maintain thepeace, order and operating effectivenesswithin our city.

While I hope that we do not face anysignificant tragedies like the ones we sawin Dallas and other places over the week-end, I worry about how Darlington wouldhandle such a situation when it comestime to pull together and trust one anoth-er? Under such circumstances how couldthe mayor stand up beside the PoliceChief and City Manager and show solidar-ity, maintain calm in the community andrestore order when such clear examplesare circulating in the media displayingher mistrust and disrespect for those incharge?

I am bringing thie subject up in hopesthat the air can be cleared and that amature, professional relationship can beestablished between the Mayor and thecity management team and that their abil-ity to discharge their duties for our citi-zens and the business community will notbe futhre denigrated.

For me, this process starts with themayor. It is my request that you

1: Publically apologize to the Chief ofPolice and the City Manager

2. That you unconditionally affirmyour support for them in their currentposts

3. Explan what you meant by the CityManager and Chief of Police “not being onyour side”

4. Explain why a City Mayor wouldneed a Sheriff that she could “go to thathelps me out when there is a situation”

I feel that these actions by you wouldset the appropriate leadership examplefor our city.

Help needed for DarlingtonAnimal Shelter

It’s terrible that it sometimes takes a

tragedy to bring attention to a need orinjustice. Our little Darlington AnimalShelter experienced tragedy on July 11,when lightning struck a kennel and killedtwo dogs, as well as causing propertydamage. We desperately need a new facil-ity for our shelter to adequately serveDarlington County and the many animalsin need. Visit the shelter if you haven’tbeen there. Shelter staff do so much withso little, with help from a core group ofvolunteers. More is needed. We can dobetter. Visitors, staff, volunteers, and ani-mals need to be safe in a functional facili-ty.

Marion County recently received agenerous donation of land/building for anew animal shelter from AndersonBrothers Bank. Does Darlington Countyhave caring donors like that? Is a bondreferendum appropriate to fund a newshelter? Are there vacantcommercial/industrial buildings thatowners would consider donating?

Support a new shelter by communicat-ing with your elected officials. To offerother help, attend the next meeting of theDarlington County Humane Society onAugust 8 at 6:30 p.m. at the HartsvilleMemorial Library. Monetary contribu-tions for shelter improvements can bemade at www.youcaring.com/dchs-res-cue-600872. Lastly, spay and neuter tohelp reduce the number of strays andunwanted animals.

They might have thought Iwas trying to evade the check-point. It sure looked that way.

When I handed over mylicense, gun permit and insur-ance card, I’ll never forget whatthe officer said. “All right,brother, concealed weaponspermit, you’re good.”

The officer did not ask me—a guy in his 20s who just madea left turn immediately before aflashing DUI checkpoint aftermidnight— if I had been drink-ing. Just, “All right, brother,concealed weapons permit,you’re good.” That was it.

The last time I got pulledover was about a year and ahalf ago in Colorado after mak-ing a U-turn in an intersection.I didn’t see the officer in anSUV in a nearby parking lot,but he saw me. I handed himmy license, my permit and myinsurance card, and thoughtthis is the time I finally get aticket. The officer let me offwith a warning.

There are a few reasons whythis happens, my weaponsinstructor explained sevenyears ago.

For one, to get a concealedweapons permit, you have topass a background check,which means if you have a per-mit you have no serious priors.Your fingerprints are on file,you’re already in the system,you have no outstanding war-rants for your arrest.

Another reason is that insome states, if you rack upenough traffic violations, youcan lose your gun permit. Anofficer might appreciate havingmore well-trained civilians car-rying concealed weapons intheir communities, and so youmight get a warning instead ofa ticket that could lead to los-ing your permit.

But there’s another aspectthat went unsaid, perhapsmade more clear in light ofCastile’s death: It probablyhelps if you look like me.

Roosevelt Scott on recent national tragediesBy Jana E. Pye

Editoreditor@newsand press.net

Roosevelt Scott ofDarlington issued a statementregarding recent tragedies inLouisiana, Minnesota andDallas, TX prior to a statewidemeeting in Columbia of theImproved BenevolentProtective Order of Elks of theWorld (IBPOE of W):

“As an American Citizen, Iwas saddened to hear aboutthe recent killings inLouisiana, Minnesota andDallas, TX. The most unfortu-nate part about all of thesekillings is that they all couldhave been prevented if we, as aNation, had taken the time toactually hear one another.Sadly, there still is a greatdivide between the percep-tions that black people haveregarding law enforcementand other races. As a blackman, I understand the strug-gles that some black peoplehave in trusting law enforce-

ment based on past incidents.And I sympathize with thosewho do not quite understandthose struggles because theyhave never been exposed tothem personally.

What these killings show isthat we still have a long way togo in regards to race relations.We need more interaction inour communities between lawenforcement and the sur-rounding areas that they pro-tect and serve. We need morehonest dialogue instead ofpointing the fingers by someand attempting to minimizethe plight of others.

I have lived through thetime when black people couldnot drink out of the samefountains as white people to aman named Back Obamabecoming the President of theUnited States. I have seen thegood and bad of America andtruly believe that we can dobetter. All we have to do iscommit to loving one anotheras God loved us and be willing

to see other people’spoint of view in orderto promote fairness andcompromise.”

Roosevelt Scott is aGrand Trustee for theImproved BenevolentProtective Order of Elksof the World (IBPOE ofW) Pee Dee United#1679 Elks Lodge.

“I commend thework that Chief DannyWatson is doing inDarlington,” said Scott.“I pray for the safety ofall our local lawenforcement. This is myhome, and I want it toremain peaceful forall.”The Improved Protective

Order of Elks of the World is a fra-ternal organization dedicated tomaking a positive difference in thelives of children, youth, seniors, vet-erans, and others less fortunate inour communities, primarilythrough benevolent contributions,volunteer services, and broad-base

collaborative community initiatives;and to assist those less fortunate inachieving their highest potential,complete their education, andbecome positive society contributorsby providing committed volunteers,national leadership, and standardsof excellence.

CWP: A Trend Toward TrainingOver 276,000 South Carolinians have a Concealed Weapon

Permit and 30,000 new permits were issued in 2015By Samantha Lyles

Staff [email protected]

Whether the assailant is a mentallydisturbed active shooter, a radicalizedterrorist, or a grudge-bearing employee,it seems that scarcely a month passeswithout some sort of gun violence head-line seizing America's attention. Whilethe gun control debate rages on in D.C.,an increasing number of law-abiding cit-izens are buying handguns for self-defense. In 2015, there was a ten-per-cent increase in background checks forgun purchases nationwide, bringing theannual total to 23.1 million.

Unfortunately, many of those buyersdo not seek training in handgun safety,or learn about the legal obligations andliabilities assumed by gun owners. Herein South Carolina, over 276,000 resi-dents have taken the initiative to edu-cate themselves on these matters bycompleting Concealed Weapon Permit(CWP) training. Over 30,000 new per-mits were issued last year, and localfirearms instructors hope this trendtoward conscientious gun ownershipwill continue, increasing public vigi-lance one citizen at a time.

“We teach our students the four fun-damentals of situational awareness,”says Steve Cooper, a South Carolina LawEnforcement Division (SLED) andNational Rifle Association (NRA) certi-fied instructor with Paladin Training ofFlorence. “One - know who is aroundyou and what they're doing. Two - maxi-mize your ability to see and maneuver.Three - know where you would go andwhat you would do if an incident wereto occur. Four - honor your instincts. We

want people to learn what constitutesnormal in certain places and situationsso they can recognize abnormal whenthey see it.”

Cooper and other CWP instructorsstress that there is much more to gunownership than just 'aim at a bad guyand fire.' If you aren't willing to take onthe burden of knowledge and responsi-bility that comes with carrying a deadlyweapon, then please don't buy a gun.You might only add to the problem.

If you currently own a handgun or are thinking about buying one, then it is incumbent on you to seek educationand training. CWP classes are conve-niently offered all over the state, practically every weekend, and –depending on the weather and the mosquito population – the classes canactually be a lot of fun.

Choose a qualified instructorInvestigate your potential teacher

before signing up for a CWP class. Makesure your instructor is fully licensed andaccredited by SLED and ask aroundabout their teaching methods, reputa-tion, and integrity. CWP instructors arecharged with providing live firearmstraining and legal information that,depending on the quality of their teach-ing, could save your life or land you injail. Taking on the responsibility ofbecoming an armed citizen is seriousbusiness, so avoid all fly-by-night out-fits, deep discounters, and rubber stampmills.

Instructors are required to provideclassroom instruction on statutory andcase law regarding deadly force, S.C.laws governing firearms and concealedweapons permits, proper firearms stor-age practices that deny access to chil-dren, prohibited carry locations, liabilityand responsibility issues relating tofirearms, proper interaction with LawEnforcement Officers, the four cardinalfirearm safety rules, handgun safety,manipulation, and operation.

South Carolina permits also requirehands-on experience, with studentslearning basic handgun marksmanship,proper concealment techniques anddrawing from concealment, and live firequalification on the range with theirteacher. Failure to clear any of thesestages, especially a failure to exhibit safeand accurate shooting on the range,forces an instructor to deny a passinggrade and refuse to sign off on a CWPapplication.

Instructors ignore these requirementsat their own peril; in 2014, one CWPteacher in Columbia was arrested foressentially selling permits to over 350people. Those students had their per-mits revoked and the instructor wascharged with 29 counts of perjury.

Those who pass their classes and paya $50 application fee should receivetheir permits within 90 days. These per-mits are valid for five years and can berenewed via mail for $50. A CWP appli-cation can be rejected if a backgroundcheck reveals criminal charges or otherfactors that legally prohibit issuance of apermit.

If your CWP is lost or stolen, or ifyour permanent address changes, notifySLED immediately. Failure to notify is amisdemeanor. A replacement identifica-tion card will be issued for $5 uponrequest. Visit www.sled.sc.gov for appli-cation and replacement forms and moreinformation regarding concealedweapons permits.

Picky shopper = safer shooter“Some men will go out and purchase

a handgun for their wife or their daugh-ter, and they end up buying a big semi-automatic pistol that even they don'tknow how to work,” says Ken Cogley, anNRA and SLED certified CWP instructorfrom McBee. Cogley says that more thanonce, a student has arrived at his CWPtraining center armed with a gun theycouldn't even load. He advises all thosewell-meaning dads and husbands to get

feedback and input before buying a gunfor someone else.

“What you should do is take the per-son you're getting the gun for to theshop, put the gun in their hands, see if itactually works for them,” Cogley says.

Shopping for a concealable weaponshould be a hands-on, interactive experi-ence, so seek out a knowledgeable sales-person who will let you try before youbuy. For newbies, it may help to shopwith a friend who has firearms experi-ence but not overbearing opinions. Takeyour time and examine several potentialpurchases, evaluating each to make sureyou find the right gun for your carryhabits and your physical characteristics.

For instance, Cogley advises that awoman who intends to carry a handgunin her purse should avoid revolvers withprotruding hammers because they mightsnag and prevent a smooth draw.Instead, look for a revolver with a zero-profile hammer or choose a compactsemi-automatic. Check too that the trig-ger pull, hammer action, and the slidemechanics (on a semi-automatic) arecomfortable. How easily can the gun bedisassembled and cleaned? Ease of oper-ation and reliability are paramount;

don't be seduced into an impracticalpurchase by aesthetics or a clever salespitch.

Proper fitment is crucial, so judgeyour potential handgun critically. Is thegrip frame long enough or does it leaveyour pinky finger curled under? Doesyour index finger rest centrally on thetrigger? A fingertip pull or a thirdknuckle pull can routinely skew shotssideways. Are all the controls – hammer,safety, slide stop, magazine release, etc.- within easy reach? You should be ableto identify and activate all controls with-out fumbling. Can you use the sightsclearly, even while wearing your correc-tive lenses?

If possible, visit a range and rent thehandgun you wish to buy. Fire it untilyou either change your mind or decidethat it is, in fact, the right one for you.

Consider also how you intend tocarry. Holster or handbag? Side-carry orsmall of the back? Once you determine

your preferred method of concealedcarry, which can inform your handgunselection. Some guns can “print” or pres-ent an identifiable outline beneathclothing or in purses, so for concealmentpurposes you should shop for a holsteror bag that minimizes printing.

Select a gun chambered for a caliberyou can handle, keeping in mind thatnot everyone can control the recoil of aDirty Harry-style .44 Magnum hand can-non. Also check prices and availabilityof ammunition in your chosen caliber tomake sure you can keep adequate plink-ing ammo (like the affordable full metaljacket variety preferred for practice) andhome defense ammo (like hollow pointsor safety slugs) on hand.

Cogley says that choosing the properammunition for your purpose couldpotentially save lives, noting that fullmetal jacket slugs tend to maintain theirshape and can travel through anassailant's body and continue on at highvelocity, possibly harming innocentbystanders. Hollow point rounds andsafety slugs are intended to flatten onimpact, providing a high degree of stop-ping power with less potential for pass-through, making them a more responsi-ble choice for home defense and CWPusage.

Have gun, will travel?If you're hitting the road for a trip,

check the carry laws in all states you'll betraveling through. Even if your intentionsare entirely non-criminal, some stateshave zero tolerance for handgun offensesand you could end up in a terrible, expen-sive legal snarl. Handgun carry laws varyby state; some states completely ban thecarrying of firearms, and others offer com-plete reciprocity for South Carolina CWPholders.

CWP ON 8A

Less-than-lethal optionsCarrying a handgun for personal pro-

tection is a decision people should nottake lightly. If you ever use that gun toshoot an assailant, have that gun turnedagainst you and your loved ones, or use afirearm in a negligent manner, the conse-quences will be serious, life-changing, andpossibly deadly. For people wishing todefend themselves with less-than-lethalmethods, there are several S.C.-legaloptions.

A stun gun is a popular and effectivechoice, but it must be used at close-quar-ters. Pressing a stun gun's metal contactsto an assailant (preferably their torso,neck, or hips) for a few seconds can deliv-

er a massive jolt of electricity through twoinches of clothing, disrupting their nerv-ous system and incapacitating them whileyou flee and summon help.

Pepper spray (aerosolized OC, or oleo-resin capsicum) is widely available atretailers and sporting goods stores andoffers a non-contact alternative. Somemanufacturers add UV dye to their prod-ucts, making it easier for law enforcementto identify an assailant who has beensprayed. A quality pepper spray should beeffective from about 15 feet away, butthat shouldn't be left to chance.

“Buy two and use one as atester,” suggests Cooper, whohas tested and recommendsFox Labs pepper spray.

On a non-windy day, takeyour test canister outside andspray it in a safe directionaway from all people and ani-mals. Measure the effectivedistance for yourself andkeep that range in mind,should you ever need to useit.

As with handguns, a non-lethal weapon is only effec-tive if you can reach it beforean assailant reaches you.Situational awareness is key;it's hard to identify a pendingthreat when you're busy tex-ting. When traversing darkparking lots or walking inunfamiliar areas, keep yourdefensive weapon of choicehandy. Keychain-sized canis-ters of pepper spray are idealfor this purpose, and somemanufacturers offer stunguns that resemble cellphones, flashlights, or evenlipstick tubes.

Word to the wise: afterhandling pepper spray canis-ters, wash your hands thor-oughly to avoid accidentallycontaminating your eyes,nose, or mouth with cap-sicum. It's absolutely no fun.

When storing firearms, remember to use a sturdy lock and secure your weapons and ammunition in a gunsafe or secure spot to dissuade curious children and thwart potential thieves.PHOTOS BY SAMANTHA LYLES

So whathas this got to do with theLibrary? The answer is theDarlington Branch Library hasbecome the site of a PokémonGo Gym!

In case you have missed thelatest reports or don’t have agamer in your life, PokémonGo is a free game that requiresplayers to get off the couch, gooutside, and wander thestreets and roads to capture,battle, and train virtual crea-tures, called Pokémon. Thesecreatures, such as the Snorlax,appear on your device’s screenas though it is right therebefore you in the real world.

The game usescomputer andGPS mappingtechnology toautomatically

place a Pokémon creature at asite to be captured. Once youhave captured and trainedyour creatures you need aplace for them to competeagainst another creature. Thatplace is a Pokémon Gym. AGym is a place trainers cancompete and battle for pres-tige, earn badges, and maketheir Pokémon bigger, badder,and better. A free and safepublic place that all playerscan get to compete, like a pub-lic library, is automatically des-ignated a Gym in the game.This makes sense as theLibrary’s four locations,Darlington, Hartsville, Lamar,and Society Hill, are the per-fect free place for individualsand groups within the commu-nity to meet for a variety ofreasons!

The Library is the perfectplace to drop in to chat with afriend, talk business, betutored, or play a game.During these hot summerdays, the Library is a cool andinviting place to spend sometime chatting with a friendabout life and the day’s events.We offer students, tutors, andbudding entrepreneurs a place

to meet with comfortablechairs, tables, free WiFi, androoms ideal for their needs.

If you and a friend are of amind to play chess or checkersin a place with a cool andrelaxing atmosphere,Darlington Branch will loanyou all you need to play.

We invite all Pokémon Gotrainers to the “DarlingtonBranch Gym” to pit their crea-tures against others or the

Hartsville Branch “Pokestop”to get your supplies to capturemore creatures.

Libraries are a “CommunityCommons” where people canmeet and interact with otherson issues of public interest,personal enlightenment, orjust simply in the pursuit ofhappiness. This even includesbeing a Pokémon Go gym! Sowho’s up to taking on aSnorlax?

Darlington area kids got a chance to enjoy fun and fel-lowship at the 17th Annual First Baptist Church BasketballCamp, which wrapped up last week with skills drills at theHarmon Baldwin Gym and the Darlington High SchoolGym.

“Back in 2000, the Darlington recreation directorHarmon Baldwin started this camp to teach kids about bas-ketball and about Jesus. Then Ed Middleton took it on

when Harmon was called home to be with the Lord,” sayscurrent camp director Bert Sandifer, who took over twoyears ago when Middleton retired.

At the free four-day event, campers were divided intogroups – 7 and 8 year olds, 9 and 10 year olds, and 11 to 14year olds – where they enjoyed snacks and devotionals dur-ing breaktimes and learned fundamentals of shooting,passing, and footwork from volunteer coaches, including

some star players from the Darlington High School Falconsand Lady Falcons.

“It's great to have former campers who have gone on toplay at Darlington High return to help us coach,” saysSandifer. “It really warms my heart to see them giving backlike this.” See more photos at: www.newsandpress.net

Washington – The Senatehas overwhelmingly passed theHousing Opportunity ThroughModernization Act (HOTMA),a bill introduced by U.S.Senator Tim Scott (R-SC),Robert Menendez (D-NJ) andcolleagues that focuses oninstituting federal reforms thatwill improve families’ access to

high-opportunity areas andquality of life while cuttingoverall program costs.

Senator Scott said that itwas a privilege to be a part ofthis initiative, which also worksto combat homelessness andhelp our nation’s veterans, andthat it will benefit the commu-nities which need it most.

“Americans want action,they want to see their electedofficials working on programsand reforms that will improvetheir neighborhoods and leadtowards a future filled withopportunity,” Sen. Scott said.“Our bill transcends party lines,and is a perfect demonstrationof the good that can happen

when we put our political viewsaside and we focus on a com-mon goal.”

The bill’s specific detailsinclude expanding access tohigher opportunity areas byallowing recipients to use hous-ing vouchers to move to areaswith less poverty and lesscrime. It will also minimize

homelessness by creating morevacancies in “project-based”housing, and will strengthenwork incentives by delayingrent increases for tenants whostart employment or whoseearnings rise because they getbetter paying jobs.

In the Senate, this legisla-tion was a bipartisan effort

between Senators Tim Scott (R-SC), Robert Menendez (D-NJ),Chris Coons (D-DE), and RoyBlunt (R-MO). It is now headedto the President’s desk to besigned into law.

Clemson Extension’sAmanda McNulty and SeanFlynn, along with the rest ofthe crew of “Making It Grow,”

recently won another presti-gious Telly Award for a 2015segment titled “Mason JarSalads.”

This is the third Telly Awardfor McNulty, who has hosted“Making It Grow” since 2012.The live, interactive show –

which is produced by SCETVand Clemson University – haswon 12 Telly Awards overallsince 2000. Flynn has been theshow’s producer since 1999.

“As Extension’s role in thecommunity expands into top-ics such as food safety and

nutrition, ‘Making It Grow’ haslooked for collaborative waysto support these efforts,”McNulty said. “But we still lovegardening most of all.”

“Mason Jar Salads,” whichpremiered on June 16, 2015,won a bronze award in the

“How-To / Instructional cate-gory.”

The segment featured “foodstylist” Laurie Aker, whodemonstrated how to use thelarge, clear-glass jars to buildfour-layered salads that main-tain their freshness for up to aweek:

“There are tons of benefitsto using mason jars,” saidAker, who is the officialspokeswoman for the organicfood supermarket chain EarthFare. “They keep your ingredi-ents nice, crisp and flavorful.Also, they’re great time-savers.You can make them ahead oftime – four to five days out –and they’re ideal for work, cartrips, camping trips and evenfor kids who are going to daycamps.”

In addition to her latestTelly Award, McNulty was the2015 recipient of the Zone VIIIHorticulture Commendation,which was awarded by theGarden Club of America. Zonecommendations are given tonon-member individuals ororganizations that have madesignificant contributions tohorticulture. Zone VIII coversSouth Carolina, Georgia,Florida and Alabama.

“Making it Grow’s” hour-long broadcasts are shown liveat 7 p.m. Tuesdays on SCETVand on tape-delay at 8 p.m.

Tuesdays and 3:30 p.m.

Saturdays on the SC Channel.
