The cemetery contains the remains of an unknown number of individuals believed to be of African descent who lived and worked on the property where FMU now resides.

Trinity Baptist Church and Francis Marion University will host a ceremony honoring those buried in a historic cemetery on the university’s campus.

The ceremony will occur on Sunday, May 22 at 1 p.m. at the cemetery located near Ervin Dining Hall and will be officiated by the Rev. Calvin Robinson, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church of Florence.

Bishop Donald ROBINSON Jackson, pastor of Fellowship of Christians Movement in Florence and a member of FMU staff, will assist with the ceremony.

The historic cemetery contains the remains of an unknown number of individuals believed to be of African descent who lived and worked on the property where the university now stands. Some of those buried in the cemetery were enslaved.

FMU has partnered with Trinity Baptist in ongoing efforts to preserve, maintain, and interpret the historic site. The partnership began when the university decided to move forward with archeological work around the historic cemetery to learn more about the site and the identities of those buried there.

Preserving and maintaining the history of this cemetery complements FMU’s mission of educating the university community and the general public about the history and culture of the region. The partnership with Trinity Baptist Church ensures that this will be accomplished in the most respectful and reverent manner possible.

FMU plans to hold religious services or other ceremonies at or near the cemetery, as well as produce educational materials where appropriate.

Library to benefit children, educators

Wednesday, May 18, 2022

DO YOU REMEMBER?

Francis Marion University has a unique new space where current and (hopefully) future Patriots can learn and grow through the power of children’s literature.

FMU recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open its Early Childhood Library at the Gail & Terry Richardson Center for the Child. Located in the center’s atrium on the university’s main campus, the library was a project of FMU’s Early Childhood Education program.

Children enrolled at the RCC can borrow from a vast selection of children’s literature curated to complement early learning development.

The kids can also enjoy story time with guest readers in the bright and whimsically decorated space. FMU President Dr. Fred Carter kicked things off following the ribbon cutting, donning a pair of moose antlers and reading to a group of RCC children.

In addition to building youngsters’ love of reading, the library will also play a vital role in FMU’s ECE majors. The students will satisfy various components of their coursework by using the books now available.

“Making readers is a lifesaving endeavor, and it just happens to be wildly fun and satisfying,” said Dr. Jeanne Gunther, the chair of Francis Marion’s Early Childhood Education program.

Gunther unveiled the new library alongside Dr. Callum Johnston, professor of early childhood education, and teaching candidates who worked on the project. The library was made possible by REAL Grant funding, private donations, and support from Dr. Carter.

The books at the Early Childhood Library were chosen based on their ability to represent diversity, display developmental appropriateness and address early learning as well as meet South Carolina education standards. FMU teaching candidates in the early childhood project will use the library’s selection for assignments as well as to build their knowledge of current children’s literature.

NURSES

FROM FRONT PAGE

Nursing Officer Tony Derrick, “We appreciate our nurses every day, but Nurses Week is a time we honor our nurses for providing quality care to our patients. The Mission of McLeod Health is to improve the overall health and wellbeing of the people living within South Carolina and eastern North Carolina by providing excellence in health care, and our nurses are an instrumental part of that goal.”

Shumpert is a nurse practitioner with McLeod OB/GYN Associates.

“Mary Amanda understands and demonstrates that her care is not just for the patient, but for the entire family,” said Georgia Beasley, nursing director for Postpartum/Gynecology. “She goes above and beyond to take care of the whole person. She demonstrates genuine respect for the dignity of all patients and families through privacy, comfort and courtesy. Mary Amanda is an early adapter to evidence-based principles in care and champions these changes for the betterment of patient care. I would personally want Mary Amanda caring for me or my family member.”

Grier works in the McLeod Cardiac Catherization Lab. “Meredith is compassionate, eager, patient-driven and hungry for knowledge,” says Ashley Gaskin, nursing director for the Cardiac Catherization/Electrophysiology Lab. “She is humorous and compassionate with patients, lending a comforting ear during a patient’s worst times. She cultivates relationships within her team and with her patients.

Striving to provide high quality, excellent care, she has challenged herself and her entire team to obtain specialty certifications, setting an example for McLeod Regional Medical Center. She genuinely loves what she does, and it shows through her enthusiasm for her profession.”

Pittman is a Medical Surgical Technician in the Emergency Department.

“Chaquita is a role model for excellence in that she acknowledges and respects the diversity of patients, families and other members of the health care team,” says Diane Osterman, nursing director for the Emergency Department.

“Her unique abilities, passion and professionalism set her apart and earned her the respect of her co-workers.

She promotes the success of others in her department by serving as a mentor and preceptor for new employees.

Chaquita is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure an excellent patient experience.”

Derrick applauded all of McLeod Regional’s nurses for going above and beyond for the hospital’s patients.

“A McLeod nurse does not do what they do for the recognition; they do it for the patients,” said Derrick. “Every day, I am in awe of what our nurses can accomplish. Our outcomes prove what excellent care our patients receive.

As the Chief Nursing Officer, I am so impressed with their quality work and daily dedication. I believe we have some of the best nurses in the world here at McLeod.”

At MUSC Health Florence,

Florence Division Chief Nursing Officer Costa Cockfield said nurses can and do make a difference.

“It is National Nurses Week, so all across the nation nurses are being recognized,” said Cockfield. “What a wonderful time to celebrate our great profession and to recognize our outstanding staff. This year’s theme is ‘Nurses Make a Difference.’ It is a simple, yet powerful and true statement - nurses certainly do make a difference. After two years on the front lines battling the COVID-19 pandemic, I believe the value of nurses has never been clearer. It is certainly a noble profession and for the 20th time in a row, nursing has been voted the most trusted profession.”

In introducing the 2022 McLeod Health Florence Nurse of the Year, Cockfield said Staggers was a nurse who “exemplifies servant leadership with her superior attitude, commitment to the nursing profession, the care team, the patients and their families and the community.

She often volunteers to work extra shifts, and when in charge, she takes the most critical patients on the unit.

She is flexible with her schedule to support the department and always has a smile and positive attitude. The medical staff appreciates her vast knowledge and skills as well as her warm and positive attitude.”

Fourteen other nurses were nominated for Nurse of the Year: Donna Burns, Georgie Elswick, Crystal Fulgencio, Neva Lawson, Yesse-

nia Marquez, Leonora Masungsong, Michelle McCray, Russel McNeil, Robyn McLaughlin Davis, Ethel Rouse, Steve Simon, Martha Smith, Peggy Tomlinson, and Christina Young.

“A 35-year employee, this nurse successfully obtained her certification in Gastroenterology Nursing through the American Board of Certified Gastroenterology Nurses,” said Cockfield in introducing Alexander as the Certified Nurse Award winner. “She is innovative and has the ability to simplify processes, while meeting regulatory specifications for patient safety and care. New technology excites her, and she is the “go to” for the providers due to her knowledge, cooperation, accountability and willingness to help. She is methodical, a team player, multi-tasks well, and has great organizational skills.”

Cockfield said that Advanced Practice Nurse of the Year winner Hempton was well respected by her peers.

“She is well respected by care team members, as they depend on her for her expertise and guidance for patient care,” Cockfield said.

“Patients and family members love her and have complete trust and confidence in her abilities and knowledge to direct their care and treatment. She is a valued member of the team collaborating with pharmacy, physicians, the outpatient Oncology/Infusion department and the inpatient acute care unit. She is the glue that holds it all together.”

New children’s library cards The Florence County Library System now has new children’s library cards featuring the artwork of author and illustrator Will Hillenbrand from the new state-of-theart bookmobile. Parents can apply for their child’s library card at their local library. First time library cards are free of charge to Florence County residents, and those who work or own property in Florence County. Parents will need a valid photo ID and verification of current address to apply, and a birth certificate for the child, if the child is not present at the time. Parents can turn in their child’s old library card at their local library and receive one of the new cards for free through July 15. Adults can get a new library card for $2. For more information, call the Greenberg Children’s Library at (843) 292-7382, or visit the library’s website at florencelibrary.org.

EDITORIAL

Hot car deaths are completely preventable In the hottest months of the year, and they are fast approaching, the danger of pediatric vehicular heatstroke, commonly referred to as “hot car deaths,” rises.

Heatstroke can occur throughout the year as temperatures inside a vehicle can reach life-threatening levels even on mild or cloudy days. Children are particularly vulnerable to hot car deaths as their bodies’ ability to maintain internal body temperatures are not as efficient as an adult’s and their body temperature warms at a rate of 3 or 5 times faster than adults.

The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control reports that the state has had 22 deaths in hot cars since 1998. Last year was particularly deadly with three deaths in the state. The average date of the first death of the year is March 24.

“A car can heat up 19 degrees in 10 minutes, and cracking a window doesn’t help,” said Kevin Poore, Safe Kids South Carolina director. “Heatstroke can happen anytime, anywhere. We don’t want to see this happen to any family, or any child. That’s why DHEC is asking everyone to help protect kids from this very preventable tragedy by never leaving a child alone in a car, not even for a minute.”

Together, we can cut down the number of deaths and near misses by remembering to ACT. • A: Avoid heatstroke-related injury and death by never leaving a child alone in a car, not even for a minute. And make sure to keep your car locked when you’re not inside so kids don’t get into it on their own.

• C: Create reminders. Keep a stuffed animal or other memento in your child’s car seat when it’s empty and move it to the front seat as a visual reminder when your child is in the back seat. Or place and secure your phone, briefcase, or purse in the back seat when traveling with your child.

• T: Take action. If you see a child alone in a car, call 911. Emergency personnel want you to call. They are trained to respond to these situations. One call could save a life.

“Hot car deaths” are 100% preventable and, according to the National Safety Council, generally are the result of three primary circumstances: A caregiver forgetting a child in a vehicle, a child gaining access to the vehicle and someone knowingly leaving a child in a vehicle.

Accidental scenarios are terrible and every precaution is to be taken to prevent them, and knowingly leaving a child in a car is unthinkable. Don’t let it happen.

Remember, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “temperatures can climb from 78 degrees to 100 degrees in just three minutes, to 125 degrees in 6-8 minutes.”

Flamingos are ready to take flight In just over a week, some young ball players in spanking new bright pink uniforms will step out of the dugout and take their positions on a brand new field in a brand new stadium.

The crowd will cheer, the National Anthem will be sung, and the home plate umpire will bark, “Play Ball!”

The Florence Flamingos are about to take flight.

The team formerly known as the RedWolves will open the season on the road against the Savannah Bananas on Thursday and the Macon Bacon on Friday before returning home on Saturday for their home opener against the Blowfish of Lexington County.

It will be a big night for the Flamingos and the new ownership team led by President Cameron Kovach and the City of Florence. The game will serve as a christening for Carolina Bank Field, the 1,400-seat centerpiece of the city’s new $16 million sports complex located next to the Dr. Eddie Floyd Florence Tennis Center.

The game has been sold out for several weeks. There will be fireworks following the game, but the Flamingos’ front office will sure be hoping for plenty of explosions off the bats of the “Pinkies” during the game. The new stadium will be feted and praised for a few weeks, but

Bob Sloan Editor

it will eventually wear off. The Flamingos success in the win column, on the attendance sheets, and in the financial ledgers will be dependent upon how well the team performs on the field.

Head coach Lane Harvey will lead the flock from the dugout. He’s a Coastal Plains League veteran who spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach in Holly Springs and Macon. He’s the current graduate assistant coach at Washburn University in Topeka, Kan. The Flamingos’ inaugural roster is loaded with 40 players from every collegiate level. There are several players from Div. I schools. Pitchers Landon Lucas and Patrick Bott are on loan from Clemson. Brothers Clayton and Alex Peterson, who will man the outfield for Florence, played at Missouri last season. Both recently entered the transfer portal. Pitchers Lathan Todd and Devin Beckley are cadets at The Citadel.

There are also several local connections. Pitchers Todd Mattox and Corey Poulsen as well as outfielder

Will Hardee suit up for Francis Marion.

It’s been some time since a team from Florence won the Coastal Plains crown.

Wouldn’t it be great for the Flamingos era to begin with a championship feather to put in their caps?

Name the Mascot The Flamingos revealed their new mascot last week.

As one might expect, it’s tall, pink, and feathery. It’s bio on the team website says the bird loves eating Bacon, Bananas, Marlin and Blowfish but is afraid of Sharks. Those all happen to be teams in the Coastal Plain League where the Flamingos play. The one thing it’s missing is a name, and the team is now holding a contest to let fans do just that.

“Our new mascot could be either male or female, depending on the name selected,” said Kovach. “We want the local Florence community to help us name our feathered friend and make him/her part of the community.”

The mascot and name will be unveiled live and in person at the Florence After Five event on Friday, May 27 in downtown Florence. The lucky person who suggests the winning name will receive a $200 Flamingos merchandise shopping spree at the team store and tickets to

Opening Night.

To suggest a name, go to www.florenceflamingos.com/ about-us/namethemascot/ and enter your name suggestion.

Host families The Flamingos are still looking for up to five families to be host families for players for the upcoming season.

A host family simply provides a place for the player to sleep and when occasionally needed, a place for them to cook dinner. It’s providing a home away from home for a young college player looking to further their professional aspirations.

“Our players are very respectful of their host families,” said Kovach. “Our host families set the rules and guidelines for the players and every one of our players follows them or they will not be part of our team.”

Not only does a host family get to develop a relationship with a potential professional baseball player but they also receive a variety of perks, including free tickets to Flamingos game.

If interested, contact Host Family Coordinator Charlie Gallagher at (843) 413-2758, or email cgallagher@florenceflamingos.com.

In order to form a more perfect union Why do I feel that “We the People” have collectively taken on more than we can chew? News is flying at us faster than that speeding bullet regarding so many diverse, complicated, and polarizing issues. Does anyone out there have Clark Kent’s telephone number?

A tragic war is raging, inflation is climbing, a recession looms, gun violence is rising, and evil COVID has not left the building. We add the conflicts over abortion laws, immigration issues, and spar over books in school libraries. Oh, and let’s not forget climate change, fires, tornadoes, and hurricanes.

You are lucky if you can get through a day without a headache. And, if you did avoid a throbbing head, perhaps watching television will help you relax. But, alas, your “Happy Days” rerun will be interrupted by the same old, tiresome political rhetoric of potential candidates slinging their mud. Yep, you will proceed to bed with a bona fide migraine. I am so sorry.

Last Sunday, I returned to the pews of a church I attended years ago. I sat in the same seat I once occupied and turned to see if I recognized anyone, and I did not. Many of the pews that were once full of worshipers are now empty. And, I saw no children and few adults under age fifty. “Maybe they were all at the earlier service,” I hopefully pondered.

My other thought was that folks were hidden under

Lynn Gendusa Southern Comfort

their Sunday morning bed covers to avoid the world’s reality. I can’t say I blame them, but hiding from our troubles is not the answer.

We can blame many of our woes on ourselves. We can politicize everything from a peanut butter and banana sandwich to a hurricane.

Some events, such as inflation or supply chain issues, are partly due to the worldwide COVID outbreak and its havoc. But one of the pandemic disasters was how we turned on each other over our polarizing opinions while watching millions die from the disease. Many lost their families, while many others lost their hearts. In the end, it hurt us all.

Yes, sometimes we are a mess. We do dumb things, act foolishly, become selfrighteous and hypocritical, forgetting how blessed we are. But I believe one thing to be true of all of us…. we cherish the freedom we have in our country. And, like those citizens of Ukraine, we will fight together in trenches to protect it.

It’s an odd emotion knowing there are so many people suffering in Ukraine while we freely, angrily clash with each other over our dissimilarities.

Instead, Ukrainians have set

aside their personal ideologies and merged to defeat tyranny. And today, they collectively loathe the person who is determined to take their freedoms and independence away.

I am confident we will never agree on the abortion issue or what books should be allowed in school. We never will all vote for the same person to lead us, and because our beliefs are different, we will still have backyard arguments. However, we must stop much of the angry, conspiracy-laden, and hate-filled rants we have endured in the last few years.

Maybe our lack of respect has to do with those negative political ads that tell you not to vote for the other candidate. Perhaps, those running should try a different tone, like explaining their platforms or touting their accomplishments. Condemning others to win usually causes me to vote against those who do because they give me that migraine!

And we wonder why those church pews are vacant.

We may have taken on more than we can handle ourselves, but perhaps we can obtain strength and resolve from a higher power. Maybe we should settle ourselves by sitting on a church pew, looking up toward the cross, and asking the Lord to help us quell our bitterness. Using respect, honor, compromise, and understanding will please not only God but bring others

to Him. And that’s how we stop hurting ourselves and our children. We can unite to foil the evil within us, find solutions, and prevent the violence and dissent we endure.

We, after all, are free to do so.

“We the People of the United States in order to form a more perfect union.”

Let us try.

Risk-taking by director makes latest Dr. Strange at least watchable Thomas Merzlak Movie Reviews

end so that Waldron can move on to the next piece of table-setting for a future Marvel movie.

Raimi seems to realize that he has little to work with, so he pushes what’s there for all its worth. Each set piece is a joy to beholdthey’re far better edited and shot than any other MCU movie. Surprisingly, Raimi is also permitted to inject a bit of his penchant for horror into the film, which sets Multiverse of Madness apart from previous Marvel movies. There are several genuinely shocking moments, and while the gore is, in keeping with Raimi’s prior work, sillier than it is scary, it’s still startling to see a character’s brain leak out of his nose in a four-quadrant block-buster in the year 2022.

It is worth noting, too, that Raimi insisted on using physical sets, which work

wonders for the movie’s tactility. Frustratingly, though, Marvel Studios’ inhouse electrical team hasn’t gotten any less boring, so those sets are lit like the interior of a Walmart, but they’re there nonetheless.

The performances are the most variable aspect of the film- newcomer Xochtil Gomez has a great screen presence, Benedict Wong is reliably fun to watch, and Benedict Cumberbatch is adequate. Elizabeth Olsen’s performance is quite bad, though. She doesn’t have much to work with, but I found her unconvincing and dull.

This being a Marvel movie, there are a tiresome number of cameos and split-second character introductions, but Raimi seems to be having fun with them.

One memorable scene depicts a litany of characters being killed in various creative ways, while a postcredits sequence involves one of the most effective jokes I’ve seen in a blockbuster in years.

While it isn’t powered by the same scathing vitriol that elevated The Matrix:

Resurrections to contemptuous near-perfection, Multiverse of Madness does at least feel like the first Marvel movie in a very long time to take a risk or two, for better and worse. And really, that’s a good thing in the long run. Even if more daring filmmaking might just produce another Eternals, I’d rather have one interesting failure than ten flavorless, insubstantial collections of references and cameos.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is presently showing at the Regal Swamp Fox Cinemas.

City signs partnership agreement with Army The U.S. Army and the City of Florence signed a partnership agreement Friday as part of the U.S. Army Partnership for Youth Success (PaYS) program.

The PaYS program is a strategic partnership between the Army and a cross section of private industry, academia and state

and local public institutes.

PaYS guarantees soldiers five job interviews and possible employment after their service in the Army.

The PaYS program provides America’s youth with the unique opportunity to simultaneously serve their country and prepare for their

future.

PaYS is designed to help soldiers prepare for a career after the Army by connecting them with employers who understand the skills, discipline, and work ethic that military service members bring to a business.

This program is part of a long-term effort to help sol-

diers forge professional relationships with businesses and encourage business owners to look to the Army as a plentiful and reliable recruiting source.

Since PaYS began in 2000, more than 1,085 employers have partnered with the program.

McDuffie retires after 32 years with university Francis Marion University faculty and staff gathered last week to celebrate the career of Teresa McDuffie, who retired after nearly 33 years with the university.

At a reception held at The Cottage on FMU’s main campus, McDuffie was presented with a special resolution by university president Dr. Fred Carter and lauded for her years of dedicated service.

“Teresa has been an amazing part of this university, and we all wish her well in her retirement,” Carter said.

“From her work in campus technology, to her contributions with the African American Faculty and Staff Coalition, Teresa has done an outstanding job and has left an indelible mark on Francis Marion.”

McDuffie joined FMU’s campus technology department as a computer technician in 1989. She later advanced to systems support technologist and network specialist, before becoming network systems administrator.

McDuffie said she looks back fondly on her many years at FMU, and plans to remain in Florence with her husband, Bernard.

“I just thank God for allowing me to be a part of the Francis Marion family,” McDuffie told her friends and colleagues. “I cherish all of the memories and I love you all.”

McDuffie’s contributions to FMU were numerous. In addition to updating the network infrastructure on campus, McDuffie served as a founding member of the African American Faculty and Staff Coalition.

McDuffie was also presented with the John J. Kispert Leadership Award in 2016.

When asked what the most important aspect of filmmaking is, Japanese master Akira Kurosawa responded that, while a bad director can make a good movie with a good script, even a great director can’t make a good film from a bad script.

This is the central dilemma that plagues Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the newest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sam Raimi, whose Evil Dead trilogy graced screens before he laid the groundwork for the onslaught of superhero pictures with 2002’s SpiderMan, valiantly attempts to make his bizarre style fit within the constraints of the Marvel formula, occasionally to great effect, but Michael Waldron’s screenplay is a breathtaking mess.

It’s a testament to Raimi’s formal confidence and control that the movie works at all, because the script is awful - the pacing is absurd, the characterization weak, and the themes muddled and confusing.

Conflicts are not so much resolved as they just sort of

MUSC Health Florence earns ‘A’ safety grade MUSC Health Florence Medical Center received an “A” Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade for spring 2022. This national distinction recognizes achievements in protecting patients from harm and error in the hospital. It is the only hospital in the region to receive an “A” rating from Leapfrog for the tenth consecutive time.
