NEIGHBORS South Florence High School senior Asia Danielle Felton is congratulated by Florence One Schools Superintendent Richard O’Malley after receiving her diploma during Saturday’s commencement ceremony at the Florence Center. Teacher Lindsey Bibler is assisting Felder. A list of graduates from all Florence One high schools as well as lots of commencement ceremony photos can be found in today’s B section.

Dr. Will Bolt, associate professor of history at Francis Marion University, will present a special lecture titled “The Forked Road to Juneteenth” on Thursday at 4 p.m. in the auditorium at The Leatherman Medical Complex in downtown Florence.

The presentation is open to the public.

Juneteenth celebrates the official end of slavery in the United States.

Specifically, it remembers June 19, 1865, the day when Union troops landed in Galveston, Texas, and read proclamations BOLT declaring the end of slavery.

Because of Texas’ relatively remote location at the time, the end of slavery was unknown or little known, even though President Abraham Lincoln had signed the emancipation proclamation two-and-a-half years earlier. The name is a blending of “June” and “nineteenth.”

Juneteenth has been celebrated for years, but increasingly has gained national recognition. A number of cities around the nation have adopted it as an official holiday, including the See LECTURE, Page 3A

Florence One seeking McClenaghan memorabilia The old McClenaghan High School will soon be open again, this time serving as an annex for the Florence 1 Schools district office. A grand re-opening for the facility, originally completed in September 1921, is being planned for Thursday, September 16th at 6 pm. All alumni and the general public are invited to attend.

Once home to secondary students, this beautifully renovated piece of district history will now be home to Florence County Adult Education and district office personnel moving from the current annex on South Dargan Street.

Florence 1 is seeking memorabilia for a permanent public history display in the building.

Trisha Caulder, F1S Board Member and Chair of the Reopening Planning Committee, said that plaques, trophies, awards, pictures, sports items, letter sweaters and any other items related to McClenaghan are welcome.

“I taught at McClenaghan so this really means something to me,” Caulder said. “We

also think it would be a good idea to get an alumni group started. All of the other schools have one and McClenaghan has groups for this year or that year but not one big group.”

Caulder has found a few items in district records, including copies of the McClenaghan newspaper and information about the cost of the original building. She said that she is excited to have these items and any others that are donated on display for the public to see. Hopefully, Caulder said, the display will be set up in a third-floor room that will be available to rent for future McClenaghan class reunions.

Anyone interested in donating McClenaghan-related items can call the district at 843-669-4141 or bring the items to the Florence 1 Schools District Office at 319 South Irby Street. Trisha Caulder can also be reached at Trisha.Caulder@fsd1.org. Several McClenaghan alumni have already volunteered to serve on the Reopening Planning

Growing up my grandmother taught me the importance of prayer and to this day, it is a pillar of my life. Recently while planning the celebration for the centenarian of our ministry, Annie Mae Belin, the Spirit of God reminded me of how she prayers for me daily, how He never leaves me and the life we live is a result of the relationship we have with Him. I am most excited to invite you to be a part of this one night of Powerhouse Prayer.

The Elks National Foundation began its new year in April, allowing local Elk members to once again apply for new grants. Florence Elk Lodge No. 1020 decided to offer assistance to Manna House, which has been serving an unusually higher number of people due to the continued pandemic. The Elks Lodge offered financial assistance to the Manna House last year, which allowed the soup kitchen/food pantry to put up plexiglass partitions at each dinner table seat to help protect their clients from the spread of COVID. On May 20, the lodge presented Manna House with a check for $2,500. “Manna House does a wonderful job of serving our needy population and our local Elks Lodge is proud to be able to partner with them,” said Lodge Veteran Chairman CB Anderson.

Proper planning a precursor to future success The first steps to consolidating Florence School District Four into the Florence One School District took place last week as the state-appointed transition team held its first meeting at Brockington Elementary School. At the same time, Florence One Superintendent Richard O’Malley was sharing his thoughts on consolidation with members of the Florence County GOP during a meeting at the West Florence Fire-Rescue Annex.

From what took place and was said during these two meetings, early indications are the planning process is getting off to a good start. American inventor Thomas Edison had it right when he stated that success “is 90 percent preparation and 10 percent perspiration.” If the planning and preparation is done correctly, the consolidation of District Four into District One will be smooth and seamless. We hope that will be the case.

At Brockington Elementary, the six-member transition committee took questions and heard comments from those in attendance. They did not answer questions or respond to any comments, citing policy constraints. We understand the need to follow policy, but we hope the transition team will provide answers to those questions at its next meeting on July 12. We see it as imperative that community members, particularly those in Timmonsville, are made to feel as if they are a valuable part of the process. Simply put, they are.

The transition team includes Dr. Gloria Bracey and Tonya Addison from District Four, Porter Stewart and Trisha Caulder from Florence One, Kimberly Mack of the S.C. Department of Education, and Timmonsville Police Chief Thomas McFadden.

During the meeting, Mack gave a presentation on what led to the decision to consolidate the two districts. District Four has been under the control of the S.C. Dept. of Education since 2018 due to excessive and continued financial instability. In March, State Superintendent Spearman announced plans for consolidation and the creation of a transition team. The consolidation will officially go into effect on July 1, 2022.

During her remarks at a Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce Luncheon in December of last year, Spearman maintained that it does not make financial sense for the state to continue to operate the district as a standalone entity over the long term. At that same meeting, Spearman said she would be in favor of consolidating all five Florence schools districts into one district to oversee the entire county. While we would not agree that bigger is always better, in this particular case it seems things would be better for everyone involved if county schools were operated under one administration.

Superintendent O’Malley shared the same sentiments while speaking to county GOP members. He said that he was in favor of county consolidation because he thought it “made sense.” O’Malley also said the present merger between Florence and Timmonsville schools could be viewed as a test on how a larger consolidation should take place.

O’Malley pointed out that preparations will determine the success of the transition phase. We couldn’t agree more. He said a hasty consolidation would likely create more problems than it solves. He even suggested the idea of postponing consolidation for another year to allow for even more planning.

The transition team is scheduled to meet each month. They are encouraging community members to ask questions and share concerns so they can address them in future meetings.

Community members can make comments through the Florence School District Four website.

The team's next meeting is scheduled for July 12 at 7 p.m.

A Father’s Day present fit for a king Editor’s Note: I wrote this column for Father’s Day 10 years ago. To my surprise and delight, it won several awards and was printed in a couple of dozen newspapers across the country.

To all you dads out there, Happy Father’s Day! --With Mother’s Day in the rearview mirror, it’s time to start dropping hints for that all-important Father’s Day gift.

Girls, listen up. This year there will be no tacky ties, no imitation leather wallets, or key chains with my initials. Daddy’s gonna tell you exactly what he wants.

It’s not much. Just a little gadget called the Kohler Numi.

What is it, you ask? Why, it’s every father’s dream. It’s the throne on which every king longs to place his royal derriere. It’s the La-Z-Boy of all La-Z-Boys.

Earlier this year the Kohler Company, which has produced the finest commodes the world has offered since the invention of Charmin, unveiled the Lamborghini of flushers. It’s

Bob Sloan Editor

one luxurious loo.

So just how impressive is the Numi? Well, let’s just say it’ll do just about everything but wipe your hiney.

Here’s a list of what you get when you roll out about $6,000 in paper: • An adjustable seat.

This “smart” potty can rise to the occasion.

• A motion-activated lid and seat provide hands-free opening and closing. Wife complaining about the seat left up or down? Not my problem anymore.

• There's a built-in bidet, with a “self-cleaning wand” that can be adjusted to your preferred water pressure and temperature. That same wand also features an integrated air dryer for quick drying. Doesn’t your behind deserve the same attention as the $15 car wash down the street?

• Unrivaled water efficiency. This baby has dual-

flush technology, which lets you select a partial flush for No. 1s and a full flush for No. 2s.

• Not only is the seat heated, floor-level vents keep your toes warm on cold winter mornings.

Remember that butt-numbing sensation of a frigid lid?

Now your cheeks, oh yes, and your toes will be nice and toasty.

• Illuminated panels in the toilet provide a gentle glow. No more middle of the night aim issues. Momma’s gonna be happy about that.

• This sleek and shiny pooper has a built in air filtering system which pulls that, well, let’s just say less than pleasant smell through a powerful deodorizing charcoal filter.

• Built-in speakers play FM radio or connect to your iPhone. Yes, that’s right, your iPhone. You can crank it up and get your groove on.

You tell me: Is this a sweet seat or what?

If all this still isn’t enough, this lean, mean latrine machine comes with a removable handheld touch-screen remote that

lets you control settings for up to six, err, users in a dozen different languages.

Not too shabby, huh?

There are, however, a few other options I’d like to add to this arsenal of water closet weaponry if available.

• Racing stripes would be nice. You can never look too sporty.

• A TV/DVR, just in case the situation calls for an extended stay and you don’t want to miss a moment of the big game.

• A motion–activated audio response mechanism that causes the digitized voice of a sports announcer to say such things as “Way back, it could be, it is … a home run!” or “He … could … go … all... the … way!” or “He shoots, he scores!” at that climactic moment.

So there it is, girls. Nothing’s too good for dear old dad, right? Right? Right?

Just as I figured. Headphones on and busy texting, they didn’t heard a single word I said.

Ah well. A guy can dream, can’t he?

Years lost to time, the silent thief Growing up I could hear the tick of my church’s old Regulator wall clock. I can’t hear it today, but my hearing’s good. All that keeping of time must have silenced the Regulator’s tick and that’s appropriate. Time is fleeting in a silent unnoticed way.

I got caught up in the race and somewhere between 1996 and 2015 time stole not nineteen years but my life. One day it struck me that my daughters were grown. One day it hit me how many people I knew were dead. One day I realized others had gone into shells that swallowed their lives entirely. I looked back on the jobs I’d held and how important they were but in the end they amounted to nothing. We waste a lot of time worrying when we should be remembering.

I look a lot now at what was and I do what many will think is a strange thing. On a regular basis I drive up Georgia Highway 79 and park and lean on a steel gate and stare at mom’s old homeplace. All a stranger will see is grass, trees, and an old store converted to a hunting camp. Not me. I see family.

Meals. Games with cousins.

Cold winter nights around a wood stove. Sinking deep into a cold feather bed.

Drawing a bucket of water up from a well. A smokehouse. Penny candy. Outhouse. Crab apples.

Bamboo peashooters.

Arrowheads, Indian pennies, and more. Come with me one day and I’ll tell you a whole lot more about all I see in that patch of grass and weeds.

Oh. Well, that’s okay. I

knew you wouldn’t have the time to join me.

Time. The New Oxford American Dictionary defines time as the “indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.” I define it as the stuff memories are made from. However you define it, time always seems to be in short supply but that doesn’t stop people from spending a lot of time writing about time.

In his epic poem, “Looking For The Buckhead Boys,” James Dickey gives us these lines after learning many years later that his old high school teammates are dead from heart attacks, war, and one’s paralyzed, one’s in jail, and others maligned in other ways by the clock. He remembers they lived and writes there are “sunlit pictures in the Book of the Dead to prove it: the 1939 North Fulton

High School Annual. O the Book/Of the Dead, and the dead, bright sun on the page/Where the team stands ready to explode/In all directions with Time.”

Explode in all directions is right. People move never to be heard from again. Where, I wonder, is Benjamin Bradford? Where is Jean Gassaway? Where did Tommy Kennedy go? I know where Eddie, Mike, Dawkins, Janis, Sammy, and Peggy are.

Gone. Gone forever. Time is fleeting and ruthless.

In “Time,” Pink Floyd gives us this line: “Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day” and this one, “Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time.” It’s true. A dull day seems far longer than a day spent adventuring. And it’s true that each year burns up faster than the one before.

Can you hear time? Yes, a newborn baby cries. A young boy’s voice begins to change. Brakes lock and tires squeal just before that awful sound. A siren screams down a highway. A bell tolls in the distance.

Can you see time? Sure.

You see it as a tombstone.

The American Heart Association is recognizing Greenwood Elementary as a Heart of Gold School for having been designated the top giver in Florence 1 Schools and a Top 25 School in the Eastern Carolinas having raised over $10,000 for the organization. The Greenwood students took a health challenge of being kind, moving more, or drinking more water, while reaching out to family and friends to support these challenges with special hearts. “Dr. Collins, the Kids Heart Challenge Team, and all the students and staff at Greenwood Elementary are to be commended for their dedication to improving the health of their students while participating in a lifesaving community service project,” said Jane Lott, youth market director of American Heart Association. “Thanks are also extended to all our participating schools this year who made a difference in the lives of their students and our community!” Pictured left to right Dr. Susan Collins, John Delffs, Crissy Welch, Tina Salyer and Rebecca Hickson.
