Governor Nikki Haley prom-ised to bring business to ruralareas during a stop today at theRural Summit at the FirehouseConference Center in Newberry.

Haley spoke to the sold outcrowd saying when she thinks ofrural areas she thinks of home.The Governor added that therural area is one of the great partsof the state.

“We’re going to change theface of rural South Carolina,”Haley said. “It is now going tobecome those lucky little gemsthat people didn’t know we hadbecause we’re going to shine alight on it.”

While she admits there arechallenges to be faced to bringbusiness and industry to ruralcommunities that there are also

benefits.Those benefits include the idea

of companies being a big fish ina small pond and becoming theheart and soul of the town.

She added companies see thatin rural areas people are “not toobusy for a neighbor to help aneighbor.”

Haley used Newberry as an ex-ample of an area focusing on itsbeauty and told the crowd thattown must be pretty to attractnew industry.

“When they come to your ruralarea, it has to be a pretty place.They love the fact that it has thatsmall-town charm,” she said. Fortowns that don’t have that, shesaid much of it could be donewith volunteer work: “Let’smake the town pretty.”

Judge delays bond decision in Koon murder case

Cindy PittsSenior Reporter

NEWBERRY — With a 5-2 vote, Newberry County Council gave approval Wednesday night to proceed with the engineering of a new speculative building to be constructed at the Mid-Carolina Commerce Park.

The vote came with a warning for council

members not to vote to proceed with the design work if they would not vote to fund the project.

The project would con-sist of a 50,000-square-foot shell building.

The cost to grade the land will be between $300,000 and $350,000 and construction will cost around $2.4 million. Currently the design work is 80 percent com-plete but was halted

due to discussions over financing the project.

Santee Cooper, which provides power to Newberry Electric Cooperative, voted to fund 60 percent of the cost at 2 percent interest for five years with the county only paying the interest on the loan.

But council mem-bers are concerned that the building cannot be bought by then and they

would have to pay prin-cipal and interest on the building.

E c o n o m i c Development Director Teresa Powers said the building is needed to bring economic develop-ment to the county as 77 percent of the prospects are looking for an exist-ing building.

Councilman Bill Waldrop said the county had already spend $6 mil-

lion for the project and he cannot see putting a bigger burden on the taxpayers. He added he would be for the project if a developer funded it.

Councilman Kirksey Koon added he was also against the taxpayers funding the construction.

Both Koon and Waldrop voted against continuing with the project and the rest of council voted for continuing it.

The design on the proj-ect should be completed in March and construc-tion is set to start the end of May. The build-ing will be complete in November.

County Council mem-bers will vote on alterna-tives to finance the proj-ect at their Feb. 20 and March 6 meetings. The council meets at 7 p.m. in the Courthouse Annex on College Street.

County to continue with spec building


NEWBERRY — A bond hearing was held Thursday in General Sessions Court for a man accused of murdering his wife but no decision was made in the case.

Allen Lee Koon, 43, is charged with murder in the Nov. 23, 2012, death of C i n d y K o o n w h o s e body was found by a kayaker on the Broad River.

D a l e Scott, deputy solicitor for the Eighth Circuit, asked that bond for Allen Koon be denied, saying his family has property in Tennessee and that he has vehicles registered there. Scott also said that mul-tiple passports were found in Allen Koon’s house, that he travels outside the United States and has had jobs all across the country.

Scott said Koon was a flight risk and dangerous. Cindy Koon’s family also asked that bond be denied.

Koon, dressed in an orange and white jump-suit and wearing hand-cuffs and shackles, did not speak during the hearing but did cry as his family asked that he be released on bond.

Defense Attorney Jack Swerling said the land and vehicles belong to Allen Koon’s father and that one of the passports found at Allen Koon’s house was not his client’s. He also said the jobs were part of Koon’s tree cutting busi-ness and the travel outside of the United States had been with his family.

Resident Circuit Judge Eugene Griffith told the court he would make a decision and let the attor-neys know what it was.

Swerling and Allen Koon’s parents said he needed to be released to help provide stability for the couple’s three chil-dren, so he could work to keep the family home and that they would put up property to fund his bond.

Little Mountain mayor position open to write-insNatalie NetzelStaff Writer

LITTLE MOUNTAIN — The lone mayoral applicant for the Town of Little Mountain is a former Mayor Pro Tem Jana Jayroe.

However, Jayroe is not the declared mayor because there is still time for write-in appli-cants to contend for the position. They have until noon Feb. 15.

The filing deadline for the vacant mayor position of the rural town was noon on Feb. 1.

Newberry County Voter Registration’s Shanna Proctor veri-fied the petitions which were turned in to the voter registration office by Little Mountain’s Town Clerk Cindy Farr

on Monday.“If there are no

write-ins by that time (noon Feb. 15) then

she becomes the new mayor,” said Proctor.

The process for write-in applicants is the same

as with the regular fil-ing for mayor and that includes petitioning. Applicants must go to

Little Mountain’s Town Hall or contact Farr.

If there are applicants through the write-in process, then there will be a special election held April 2. If there are no applicants, Jayroe becomes mayor and no special election will be held.

Jayroe and her hus-band, Arthur Jayroe, have an accounting business on Main Street in Little Mountain.

Jayroe served six years on town council many years ago, she said. After District 40 Rep. Walt McLeod was elected to the S.C. House for the first time, she served as mayor for less than two months. She was the interim mayor between McLeod and former mayor Buddy Johnson.

Natalie NetzelStaff Writer

CHAPPELLS — A rural community with a single flashing light is the first in the Greater South Carolina District to open a Village Post Office.

On Thursday after-noon, Horne’s General Store held a grand open-ing for the first VPO where the community gathered to welcome the unique idea of merg-ing the convenience of a general store with postal

services.“The Village Post

Office is a new concept to provide access to post-al services for the rural community,” said Harry Spratlin, communica-tions coordinator for the U.S. Postal Service in the Greater South Carolina District.

The idea evolved in July 2011 for village post offices, explained Spratlin. The postal ser-vice surveyed the com-munity of Chappells which “overwhelming-ly chose to keep their

post office open,” said Spratlin.

Chappells has a post office across the road from Horne’s with reg-ular hours but Spratlin explained that this would offer “alternate access” to postal services since the store is open seven days a week from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m.

In the summer, the store will be open later, said Owner Ravi Nder Kumar, who bought the store in 2006.

Cathy Holmes manag-es the store and Holmes

said they have a “won-derful partnership.”

The store and post office are a central point in Chappells. Spratlin said that when the U.S. Postal Service held a pub-lic meeting in November, Holmes was there and a connection was made.

“We hope for many more (VPOs) in the state of South Carolina,” said Spratlin.

“We are here for you,” Holmes said as she addressed the packed store. She explained they sell stamps and boxes

and that the employees have been taught what they need to know.

“Ravi (owner) and I both love this communi-ty and this is one way to give back,” said Holmes who describes Chappells as a “quaint little town.”

In fact, Holmes can recall the history of the town and the amenities that it used to have.

Holmes explained that this will help the small community and save time while serving the

NEWBERRY — William Russell Neal, 47, of Newberry, was sentenced to 10 years in prison Wednesday after a jury found him guilty in the August 2011 burglary of a Hazel Street home.

Resident Circuit Judge Eugene Griffith handed down the sentence, Eighth

Circuit Solicitor David Stumbo said.

Newberry Police Captain Kevin Atkins said Neal had been out of prison for less than a year when he com-mitted the burglary. Atkins said Neal used force to break into the home and that the homeowner came home to find Neal in the house.

Atkins said Neal served between 20 and 25 years

in prison after he went on a crime spree that included numerous burglaries and robberies in the 1980s. At that time, Neal was sen-tenced to life in prison but was released on parole.

Neal had been served with a notice of life without parole in the Newberry bur-glary case due to his lengthy criminal history, but due to a technicality in the way

the notice was written, Neal could not be sentenced to life in prison on the burglary conviction.

Both Stumbo and Atkins said they are asking the S.C. Probation, Parole and Pardon Board to revoke Neal’s parole and sentence him to life in prison.

PROSPERITY — A 57-year-old Newberry man was killed Wednesday night after he pulled out of a private driveway into the path of another vehicle on C.R. Koon Highway near Prosperity.

The S.C. Highway Patrol said John Thomas Moran pulled his four-door Nissan onto C.R. Koon Highway around 7 p.m. into the path of a Chevrolet Avalanche driv-en by Russell Hawkins

Pitts, 46, of Prosperity.Pitts was taken to

Newberry County Memorial Hospital for treatment, said Billy Elder, spokesman for the S.C. Highway Patrol.

Moran was pro-nounced dead at the scene, Newberry County Coroner Craig Newton said. Moran was not wearing a seatbelt.

This is the first fatal wreck of the year in Newberry County, Newton said.


Newberry man killed in crash NEWBERRY — A 24-year-old

Newberry man is in jail on charg-es he assaulted a county sheriff ’s deputy during a traffic stop late Tuesday in the Helena section of the county.

Trevor Denois Sligh, 24, of 2033 Shelly St., was charged with assault and battery on a police officer while resisting arrest, posses-sion of crack cocaine, pos-session of marijuana, and possession of drug para-phernalia.

According to the sher-iff ’s office, Sligh tried unsuccessfully to remove a pistol from one of his pants pockets during the stop.

Sheriff Lee Foster said Deputy Matthew Womack was lucky to come out of the incident alive.

“This was truly a fight for life or death,” Foster said. “We are both fortunate and blessed that the dep-uty survived this incident because I am convinced that had the suspect been able to retrieve the weapon from his pocket, he would have shot the deputy.”

The incident occurred just after 11:30 p.m. Tuesday when Womack saw a vehicle driving without lights on Cottage Avenue in the Helena

section of Newberry County. When Womack stopped the vehicle, he could smell a strong odor of mari-juana coming from the vehicle so he called for backup, according to Foster.

When Womack asked Sligh, the driver and lone occupant of the vehicle, to step out of the vehicle, Sligh attempted to reach into his pocket. Sligh was told to stop, but reached for his pocket again and became combative with the deputy. Womack attempted to physically stop the suspect from going into his pocket and a struggle broke out.

It was during the struggle that Womack could feel the item in the pocket was a pistol, said Foster.

Womack used pepper spray and a Taser to subdue the suspect, but Foster said both were ineffective. The struggle continued until Sligh was able to land a blow with his elbow into the deputy’s face and nose.

“It was then the suspect broke free and fled on foot,” said Foster.

Other law enforcement officers arrived and used bloodhounds to search the area for Sligh, but did not find him. Sligh was taken

into custody around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, said Foster.

On a search of the suspect’s vehicle, the officers found both marijuana and crack cocaine in the vehicle. Investigators described the quantities as a small amount. Criminal history records show that Sligh had previously been on pro-bation for assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature in 2008.

Womack, who has been with the Newberry County Sheriff ’s Office since May 2011, was treated and released from a local hospital.

“We have come to a point in society where there is no respect for the law, law enforcement, or the court system,” Foster said. “Because human life seemingly has little or no value to others, because we consistently see those who vio-late the law receive little or no jail time, and because we have allowed many to blame law enforcement not the criminals for the problems, we are consistently seeing out-rageous and violent acts against others. Until we deal with the root issues and hold others accountable for their actions, we will continue to watch the local news and say to ourselves what is wrong with the world.”

NEWBERRY COUNTY — The Newberry County Voter Registration and Election office will hold an information ses-sion at 2 p.m. Feb. 20 at Prosperity Town Hall to help the public under-stand what they will need to show when voting. The law changed Jan. 1.

Here’s a look at the new rules:

• The photo ID must be valid — in effect or not suspended — and current.

• The purpose of the ID is to confirm that the person representing him-self or herself to vote is the elector on the poll list.

• The address on the ID does not have to match the address where registered if the ID is otherwise valid.

• The new list of quali-fying photo IDs include any of the following: S.C. driver’s license, S.C. ID card issued by DMV, S.C. voter registration card with photo, military ID issued by the federal government or a U.S. Passport.

Voters can request duplicate voter registra-tion cards at any time from their county voter registration office. Voters with a photograph on file can request any of the three types of voter regis-tration cards: paper card without a photo, paper card with a photo and plastic card with photo. Voters without a photo-graph on file can only request the paper voter registration card without a photograph.

Mays, Murphy make honors band

A couple of Mid-Carolina Middle School band students, Grant Mays, left, and Kiersten Murphy were selected for the South Carolina Region 3 Honors Band. Mays also earned first chair position.

Swerling also told the judge that Allen Koon has served in the Navy, was trained in explosive dis-posal, worked special ser-vice details and even had top security clearance. Scott countered that the Navy training taught the Mid-Carolina High School graduate how to evade and resist capture.

Scott said Cindy Koon was buried with just her foot sticking out. She was

last seen on Thanksgiving Day and was found 10 to 12 hours after she was killed, said Scott. Investigators said her face was unrecognizable and she had suffered extreme trauma. Her cause of death was a stab to the neck.

As Newberry County sheriff ’s deputies were investigating the body being found, Allen Koon reported his wife miss-

ing. He told authorities various stories, including that she had left home, that she might have a gun and shoot herself, and that she fell down stairs.

Scott said Allen Koon then stopped answering questions and asked for an attorney. Scott said the case is still under inves-tigation and evidence is still being processed.

Horne’s General store Manager’s Cathy Holmes is excited about the new Village Post Office to open in her Chappells store. the grand opening was held thursday afternoon in the small rural community.

Horne’s General store Manager Cathy Holmes, left, and Owner ravi Nder Kumar served refreshments after the grand opening thursday at the new Village Post Office.

About Village Post Offices:The U.S. Postal Service announced the concept

of the Village Post Office in July 2011 as a way to continue providing convenient access to postal products and services in more rural communities across the nation.

The first Village Post Office (VPO) opened in Malone, Wash., in August 2011. On Dec. 19, 2012, the100th VPO, located in Linden, Ind., began op-erations.

VPOs are located within existing communities in a variety of locations, including convenience stores, local businesses and libraries, and are operated by the management of those locations.

VPOs offer a range of popular products and ser-vices — the ones most used by customers — includ-ing PO Boxes, Forever stamps, pre-paid priority mail flat rate envelopes and a mail collection box.

By being located inside established businesses and other places consumers already frequent, VPOs offer postal service customers time-saving convenience, and in most cases, longer hours than regular post offices.

VPOs provide operators — in most cases, the

local business owners — with opportunities for in-creased customer foot traffic and revenue, as well as providing additional services for their customers and clients.

The postal service will consider establishing a Village Post Office in any location where there is no existing post office or where the post office has reduced operating hours.

The Village Post Office is an example of how the Postal Service is changing to better meet America’s mailing needs.

Village Post Offices are part of the Postal Ser-vice’s “Approved Postal Provider” network — re-tail outlets for postal products and services that include Contract Postal Units, Approved Shippers, stamps on consignment locations and Community Post Offices.

Approved Postal Providers are operated by third parties and complement the Postal Service’s own network by offering customers expanded retail ac-cess to postal products and services at convenient hours and locations.

clientele of Greenwood, Saluda and Newberry as people travel through Chappells to get from one point to another.

“It will help with the people who need stamps and there’s no extra costs,” said Kumar who explained that the busi-ness is a combination of a gas station, convenience store, fast food place and now post office services.

“What a great concept

for Chappells which is in the corner of every-where,” said Newberry County Sheriff Lee Foster.

Foster also joked that perhaps the store should be renamed Drucker’s Store as he recalled a television show memo-ry from years past that offered conveniences like Horne’s.

“The Village Post Office is the perfect fit for the rural community, offer-

ing 10 to 14 hour days, seven days a week,” said Margaret Floyd, retail manager for the Greater S.C. District for the U.S. Postal Service.

Another VPO sched-uled for Cameron in Orangeburg County will open in a few weeks, Spratlin said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The City of Newberry was named a grand winner in the 2012 South Carolina Traffic Safe Community Awards by the AAA Carolinas Foundation for Traffic Safety.

Sgt. Chuck Rogers and Chief Jackie Swindler Jr. of the Newberry Police Department accepted the award during a ceremony on Jan. 13 at Seawell’s in Columbia.

Fifteen South Carolina communi-ties were honored during the ninth-annual Traffic Safe Community awards luncheon hosted by the AAA Carolinas Foundation for Traffic Safety. Newberry was the grand winner in the 10,000-30,000 population category.

“One of the major issues the AAA Carolinas Foundation for Traffic Safety is tackling this year is texting while driving, with a strong focus on teen drivers, a

group who has grown up contin-uously connected to cell phones and computers,” said Angela Vogel Daley, public relations manager for AAA Carolinas. “AAA Carolinas’ goal is to create a culture change among teens concerning texting while driving.”

The AAA Carolinas Foundation for Traffic Safety provides awards in an effort to recognize those towns and cities that make a strong effort to make our state’s roads safer.

Col. Michael Oliver, commander of the S.C. Highway Patrol, and Phil Riley from the S.C. Department of Public Safety, congratulated and honored local law enforcement and community representatives.

Henry McMasterTravis MelockAttorneys General

It’s not a secret any-more. It seems that the world has finally discov-ered South Carolina.

Those of us who live here have known it all along: no other place has the beaches, mountains, salt marshes, temperate climate, forests, wildlife and fertile farmlands that we do.

When you combine that with strong people, vig-orous research universi-ties, top ranked technical training, right-to-work laws and deep-water port access, you get what we are experiencing today: a state in the spotlight, where world class busi-ness and industry thrive, where knowledge-based innovation, agricultural diversity and tourism flourish, and where peo-ple understand that our priceless natural heri-tage and great economic potential can not only co-exist, but can com-pliment and strengthen each other.

Yet, we are concerned. We have seen across our country — and the world — how political scandal and allegations of public corruption can demoral-ize the citizens and blunt the momentum and ener-gy critical to economic growth and prosperity. We do not want that to happen here, especially now as our state is so uniquely positioned for enormous economic suc-cess and growth.

Sound, honest govern-ment — from city coun-cil chambers to the State House — encourages economic investment and growth, which leads to better jobs, which leads to more revenues, which supports better infra-structure and education, which produces a hap-

pier, healthier workforce, which in turn leads back to more economic invest-ment and growth. Thus, it is important that our citizens have confidence in and respect for our government.

That is why we two were proud to co-chair the South Carolina Commission on Ethics Reform, appointed by Gov. Nikki Haley. Our 11 member, bipartisan panel- which included former prosecutors, for-mer state ethics com-missioners, journalists and former legislators- released its report this week, recommending much-needed changes to our laws dealing with ethics, campaign finance and the public’s access to government records. Here are the highlights:

n Create a Strong, Independent Ethics Commission with enhanced powers and staff to investigate and discipline violations of our ethics laws by all government officials – without exception – from the school boards and county councils to the State House and constitutional offices. These government offi-cials should all be held to the same high stan-dards, and none should judge each other. Gaps in the ethics laws should be fixed and fines should be increased. A Public Integrity Unit headed by the attorney general should be authorized to receive referrals from the Ethics Commission for investigation and pros-ecution when criminal misconduct is uncovered.

n Expand Disclosure Laws to reveal and pre-vent conflicts of interest by all government offi-cials. These conflicts are often reflected by money. Today, our laws are among the weakest in the

nation, requiring officials and spouses to disclose only that income received from their government agency or offices, typical-ly a government salary.

Our Commission rec-ommends that all other, private income sources be reported as well. And if that private source- usu-ally a business- employs a lobbyist before that pub-lic official or has a con-tract with or is regulated by his government agen-cy, the dollar amount of that private income must be reported, too. Most states require such dis-closures. We concluded that going further and requiring dollar amount income disclosure for work in no way related to an official’s post would be an unwarranted invasion of privacy.

We also recommend that legislators not only recuse themselves from voting on members of state boards and commis-sions before which they appear, as currently pro-vided by law, but that they also refrain from attempting to influence that vote while not actu-ally voting. All of this is consistent with current law which provides that public office should not be used for personal gain.

And to ensure that citizens know who is attempting to influence their government offi-cials, we recommend that all lobbyists at all levels of government register with the State Ethics Commission.

n Clarify Election Laws and Strengthen Campaign Finance Laws. Last year, over 300 candi-dates were thrown off the ballot due to confusion in our election laws; this filing process must be clarified. We also recom-mend clearly specifying how campaign funds can be used, clearly defining

and disallowing personal use, and abolishing so- called “leadership politi-cal action committees.”

Such committees allow a donor to indirectly give a candidate contribu-tions in excess of what he can give him directly, thus fostering at least the appearance of impropri-ety. We further suggested how our current law could be amended to require anonymous groups run-ning campaign ads to dis-close their donors.

n Simplify Citizen Access to Government Information. Our current Freedom of Information Act is falling short and allowing confusion and frustration. Only we and two other states allow a response time of ten days or more by the govern-ment agency; only we and fourteen other states do not include legislative offices. We recommend shortening the initial response time by the gov-ernment agency to seven calendar days, like 37 other states, and requir-ing the full production within 30 days thereafter.

We recommend that disagreements between the citizen and the agency over such things as time-liness, costs, scope and propriety of the request and response go quickly to the Administrative Law Court for prompt, official resolution in an informal setting not requiring attorneys. Today, such disagree-ments languish in the circuit courts. Penalties should be imposed for harassment. We also rec-ommend that all groups or associations receiving public funds should be subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

Our report does not address every change and improvement which must be made. Rather, in the time and scope of

our authority, we sought to identify those areas which need immediate attention as well as oth-ers which would stimu-late further examination and change. Twenty years ago, our citizens demanded and received comprehensive ethics reform.

But this work is never over. The time again

is upon us. It is our Commission’s fervent hope that our efforts will inform and encourage the insights and enthu-siasms of others commit-ted to the vision of South Carolina as the best place to be. These changes will put us in a class by our-selves. The spotlight is on us; let’s show them how it’s done.

Asparagus is fairly ex-pensive during winterm o n t h s .But whenSpring ar-rives, theprice fallsto a reason-able leveland aspara-gus shop-pers areable to enjoy the vegetablein abundance.

The nutritional attrib-utes of asparagus are asappealing as its flavor. 6spears, a typical servingsize, have only 22 caloriesand about 60% the dailyrequirement for folic acid.Folic acid, one of the B vi-tamins, is best known forthe role it plays in neuraltube defect prevention induring pregnancy.

When purchasing freshasparagus, look for bun-dles with stalks that areapproximately the samediameter. This will ensurethat the stalks cook in thesame amount of time. As-paragus tips should betightly closed with ab-solutely no signs of decay(slick or mushy.)

Typically, asparagus issold in standing water.This is done because as-paragus will continue togrow after harvest ifplaced upright with thecut ends in shallow water.Lack of water on the otherhand, will yield a droopywilted product.

the vegetable is cookedthe same day. If cookingthe same day is not possi-ble, store it at home bywashing in gently underrunning water to removeany grit and then wrap-ping a moist paper towelaround the cut end of the

stalks before placing thebundle in the refrigerator.Stored in the manner, as-paragus will remain ingood condition for at least3 days.

Asparagus is easy tocook. Make sure to trimaway the woody, lowerportion of the stem priorto cooking. There is noamount of cooking thatwill suffice to make thewoody portion an accept-able texture.

When ready for cook-ing, fresh asparagus isbest when given minimalpreparation. Sautéing,boiling, roasting, mi-crowaving, and grillingare all options. When suf-ficient heat has been ap-plied to the vegetable, itwill turn brilliant greenand be tender crisp. Just asprinkle of salt and per-haps a tiny splash of oliveoil and the asparagus isready to serve.

Observations from countycouncil’s Blue Laws discussionDear Editor,

Last night (Wednesday, March 2)I attended the Newberry CountyCouncil meeting.

One of the main topics was theabolishment of “Blue Laws” inNewberry County.

Two individuals spoke concern-ing this issue. One was a younglady who very eloquently spokeagainst abolishing the law, and onegentleman who spoke to the practi-cality of abolishing it.

I would like to make three obser-vations concerning this meeting.

First— As I recall, before Christmaslast year Wal-Mart approached Coun-cil with a request to recend the law forI think one day so they could capturethe last minute sales before Christmas.

They had dropped the ball, andgotten their request in too late forcouncil to conform with the neces-sary readings and public meetingrules, so their request was not evenconsidered at that time.

Now, just a few months later wehave simply abolished the law.Somehow there seems to be some-thing amiss with this picture.

I continue to find myself wonder-ing how many brush strokes WalMart contributed to this “master-piece”, but certainly that is privilegedinformation, and simple “People”like you and I will never know.

Second—I wonder if council consid-ered that now Wal-Mart will be sellingtheir full line of merchandise (with theexception of alcohol) every day, all day,and other merchants knowing thatWal-Mart is drawing shoppers out onSunday morning will no longer be ableto justify delaying their Sunday open-

ing to 1 p.m. and will begin keepingregular hours seven days a week in anattempt to attract some of those shop-pers into their establishments.

This is fine, except for the em-ployees who work for these compa-nies that regularly attend church onSunday before reporting for jobsthey so badly need.

These folks will most probablysoon find themselves faced with adecision between job and church.

Third—It struck me last nightthat there seemed to be some folksmissing from the meeting that I feltshould have been there.

Where were the representativesfrom the various churches in thecounty? No parishioners, no minis-ters….Hummmmmm.

I guess its just not that importantany more…surely council knows best,and besides there’s so many impor-tant things to do on Wednesday night.

I know one minister was feedinghis flock, and I am sure many oth-ers were busy conducting Wednes-day evening prayer services.

Sure hope they added a prayer con-cerning this situation. Soon this willall be over, forgotten and not evenwritten in the history books because itsimply was not important enough foranyone to be concerned over.

Then, as you pass through thedoors of that big box on the corner,listen carefully…..hear it?

The melodious sounds of thatwonderful old hymn…with wordssomething like…we shall open ourdoors rejoicing, bringing in thesheaves……OH, you didn’t knowthat some places sell a special ren-dition of that song?

County Council does.Sincerely,

William R. EhneyNewberry

Honest government essential to prosperity

Work is under way in the state SenateRonnie CromerState Senator

First, let me start by saying that I con-sider it an honor and a privilege to serve the citizens of Newberry, Lexington and Union Counties. I am grateful for the confidence you have placed in me by electing me to serve another four years as your State Senator.

On Dec. 12, 2012, the State Senate met for its organizational session. The Oath of Office was administered to ten newly elected members of the Senate. Committee selections and seat selec-tions were made, officers of the Senate were elected, and the Senate Rules were adopted.

We convened for the 120th Session of the South Carolina General Assembly on Jan. 8, 2013. Below I have outlined some of the major issues the General Assembly has already begun work on and will continue to deliberate throughout this session:

n Transportation Reform - structural and funding changes to our state’s infra-structure maintenance and construction process to make sure every dollar is maximized and allocated based on merit.

n Spending Caps - We must work to provide for sustainable and predictable growth in state spending to protect tax-payers, businesses and those served by

government.n Ethics Reform - We are reviewing

our state’s antiquated Ethics laws and making recommendations to modernize them.

n Ballot Reform - S.2 - Equal Access to the Ballot Act - I am a co-sponsor of this bill which ensures voters are given the choices they deserve and elimi-nates the potential for problems such as those experienced this past election cycle resulting in the removal of some 250 candidates. S.2 passed the Senate on January 23rd and has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee.

n Department of Administration - S.22 - Department of Administration Bill - This bill will abolish the Budget and Control Board and redistribute most of its divisions among the Department of Administration. The Senate Judiciary Committee passed the bill and the bill went to the full Senate. The bill was then referred to the Senate Finance Committee for further deliberation with a time certain set for Feb. 20. The bill will then go back on the Senate Calendar in Interrupted Debate Status for full con-sideration by the full Senate.

n Cyber Security - We will make it a priority to enhance cyber secu-rity to better protect our citizens and to ensure that those conducting business with South Carolina can do so with

confidence.n Department of Revenue Security

Breach - As you know, approximately 3.8 million Social Security numbers, 387,000 credit and debit card numbers and 657,000 business tax filings were exposed in a recent cyber-attack at the S.C. Department of Revenue.

Anyone who has filed a South Carolina tax return since 1998 is urged to sign up for the identity theft protection offered by the state. Below is information cop-ied from the Governor’s web site with instructions:

The power of God is with usPatsy Lambert

God has made available to us the power, his power, to say no to sin and yes to him.

Regardless of our temptation, God has made available the power to resist.

However, having the power of God available and using that power are two entirely different things.

Having the power of God at our disposal is not equivalent

to overcoming temptation.Power must be applied toward

a specific goal before it serves any purpose.

Our Heavenly Father can help us over come temptation. His power is greater than that of satan, the flesh or sin.

God wants to help us if we will allow him to. We should put our trust in him for all things.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the

power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians 6:10-11

“For sin shall not have domin-ion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.” Romans 6:14

“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.” Romans 8:12

The power of God will help us overcome anything we face.

Three Bulldogs sign to play college ballCindy PittsSenior Reporter

NEWBERRY – Three Newberry High School football players have signed to play at two col-leges.

Tovaris Cureton and Trajare Reeder both signed to play football for Newberry College, while Eric Gallman will be play-ing for S.C. State.

Reeder was a Shrine Bowl selection and named as an All-Newberry County player.

The offensive lineman said he is excited about playing for the Wolves.

Reeder’s mother Linda Kibler said she is glad her son will be staying at home.

For Reeder the opportu-nity means he will be able to play with a few of his old teammates and some of those that he played in the Shrine Bowl with.

“I have had a great senior year,” said Reeder, who is majoring in sports management.

Cureton was the lead-ing receiver for Newberry High this past year with 43 catches for 756 yards and eight touchdowns.

One of there reasons Cureton gave for going to Newberry is to follow in his parents footsteps.

Both his mother, Alica Cureton, and father Trokya Bates are Newberry College graduates and Bates played football for Newberry.

“I am ready to get start-ed,” said Cureton, who will major in sports man-agement.

Gallman waited until Wednesday to decided if he was going to play with Newberry or S.C. State but in the end he made the decision to go to S.C. State.

One of the factors was his desire to major in rail-road engineering. “It feels great,” said Gallman, who was a Shrine Bowl player.

Newberry sophomore Haylee Lepaio bounced back with a 27 point and 11 rebound performance for her ninth double-double of the season as the Wolves toppled the Anderson Trojans 65-50 on Wednesday night.

Wolves get win over top Trojans

NEWBERRY — After, by her standards, being quieted by opponents the past few games Newberry sophomore Haylee Lepaio bounced back with a 27 point and 11 rebound per-formance for her ninth double-double of the sea-son as the Wolves toppled the Anderson Trojans 65-50 on Wednesday night.

Anderson (15-6, 9-2 SAC) jumped out early on the Wolves (16-5, 8-3 SAC) by taking a quick 6-0 lead on 3-point makes by Alissa Diaz and Lesley Woods. The 6-0 run by the Trojans drew a response from Newberry within the next few min-utes as the Wolves pushed forward and outscored Anderson 11-3 over the next five minutes to take an 11-9 lead.

The two teams traded baskets over the next cou-ple of possessions, before Anderson’s Tilde Ahlin hit a jumper to put Anderson ahead by two. Ahlin’s make netted Anderson its last lead of the eve-ning as Newberry not only regained the lead, but never surrendered it. Newberry earned a one-point lead as junior Tasia Holdorf hit a three with 9:39 remaining in the first half. Newberry held onto its lead for the next 29 minutes of basketball.

Newberry extended its first half lead to double digits on three occasions, the last of which came on a five-point run which saw points scored by

senior Kendra Brown and sophomores Samantha Creed and Zara Pearson.

The late five-point run in the first half allowed the Wolves to head to the locker room at half with a comfortable 11-point lead.

The lead got even more comfortable as the first half opened, when back-to-back layups by Creed and Lepaio pushed the Wolves to a 15-point advantage. Anderson answered cutting the Newberry lead to nine, before another Newberry run resulted in a 16-point lead after a pair of made free throws by junior Ellie Gleeson.

Anderson was never able to bring the Newberry lead below 10 points, as Newberry walked out of Eleazer Arena with a 15-point victory after a late layup from Lepaio.

Lepaio led all players with 27 points and 11 assists, while also add-ing two assists, a blocked shot and a steal to her stat line. Creed tal-lied 14 points and five rebounds. Pearson post-ed a nine-point perfor-mance with five assists and three steals. Gleeson and Brown both recorded four assists, while Brown added six points and four steals.

Newberry hits the road on Saturday for a 6 p.m. game in Harrogate, Tenn., against the Lincoln Memorial Lady Railsplitters.

Wolves drop overtime decision to Anderson

NEWBERRY — For the third straight meeting, the Newberry Wolves and Anderson Trojans needed overtime to decide the game and for the third straight time, it was the Trojans who emerged victorious as AU earned a 92-85 win in Eleazer Arena on Wednesday night.

Newberry falls to 9-10 overall and 5-6 in the South Atlantic Conference, while Anderson is now 13-6 overall and 9-2 in the league. Newberry travels to No. 16 Lincoln Memorial for an 8 p.m. tip-off on Saturday.

Quayshun Hawkins led Newberry with 22 points, eight rebounds and four steals. Brunes Charles scored 18 points and Dondray Walker scored 17 points with seven rebounds and three assists.

For Anderson, Denzail Jones scored 25 points, Chandler Hash scored 22 points with nine rebounds, Myson Jones scored 13 points with seven rebounds and Bo Holston scored 10 points with six rebounds, six assists and five steals.

The Trojans got out to a six-point lead five min-utes into the game and still had that advantage at 15-9 with 13:35 left in the half. The Wolves went on a seven point surge thanks to a pair of free throws and a three-point-

er from Hawkins and a layup from Mitch Riggs to make it a 16-15 Newberry lead with 11 minutes left in the half.

For the rest of the half, the teams traded swings, with neither side able to get out to more than a one possession lead. A Charles tip-in with under a minute to go let the Wolves take a 38-35 lead into the halftime break.

After Anderson’s D.J. McGowan tied the game with an early three-point-er, the Wolves went on a 16-2 run, with an out-standing alley-oop base-line out of bounds play from Aegir Steinarsson to Xavier Holmes with 13:52 left in regulation giving Newberry its largest lead of the game at 54-40.

Similarly to the most recent meetings between the teams, the Trojans fought back, scoring the next nine points to cut the lead to 54-51 at the 10:29 mark. From there, another classic Newberry/Anderson battle ensued with the Wolves not relinquishing the lead. Newberry led by five at 65-60 with just under four minutes to go on a Charles fastbreak layup before the Trojans finally tied the game back up at 66-all on a Holston jump-er with just under two minutes to go.

a pair of free throws, and Denzail Jones tied up the game at 68-all with just under 24 sec-onds to go. The Wolves held the ball for the final shot, but could not get a good look, sending yet another NC/AU game to the extra frame.

Despite never trail-ing in the second half, Newberry fell behind on an early six-point surge

from Anderson. Hash made a three-pointer and D. Jones made a steal and executed a three-point play on the next possession to take an important lead. Hash was simply on fire from long distance with a trio of three-pointers. Newberry fell behind by as many as 11 in the period, but cut it down to as few as five in the

final minute, but could not get any closer.

In the overtime, Newberry was outscored 24-17. Anderson went 5-of-7 from the field, 3-of-4 from three-point terri-tory and a perfect 11-of-11 from the free throw line. Newberry made 4-of-10 shots from the field, 2-of-6 from three-point land and 7-of-8 at the charity stripe.

NEWBERRY — The Newberry Wolves improved to 3-1 on the season after splitting a pair of 1-0 games with Peach Belt Conference softball foe Francis Marion.

The team next plays on Saturday, taking on Limestone in a pair of games set to begin at 1 p.m.

Game One: Francis Marion 1, Newberry 0

A first-inning unearned run by the Patriots was the difference as Francis Marion took an early lead and held on for a 1-0 victory.

Kaylyn Camacho fol-lowed her no-hitter Saturday with another

stellar performance, pitching a complete game one-hitter and tal-lying 12 strikeouts with just one walk. The only hit Camacho allowed was a third-inning bunt single.

In the first inning, the Patriots’ lead-off hitter reached on an error, then was moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. A wild pitch on a Camacho strikeout put runners on the corners, and a sac-rifice fly brought home the only run either team would score.

Newberry mounted a serious threat in the fourth inning, using a walk, an error, and a sacrifice bunt to move

two runners into scoring position with two outs. A strikeout ended the inning, however, and the Patriots held on for the victory.

Game Two: Newberry 1, Francis Marion 0

The Wolves returned the favor in the final game of the doublehead-er, winning another low-scoring contest.

Newberry loaded the bases on three consecu-tive two-out singles in the fourth inning before a Lindsey Workman scorcher up the middle was speared by Francis Marion’s Lindsey Brown and turned into a force out at second base.

The Wolves were final-

ly able to break through in the next frame. There were three Patriot errors in the inning, most notably a failed pick-off attempt at third base

that skipped into left field and allowed Katie Capobianco to cross the plate.

Shelley Jeffcoat was spectacular in the circle

for Newberry, pitching a complete game in which she allowed four hits and a walk. At the plate, Newberry never went down on strikes.

Wolves split with Francis Marion

Shelley Jeffcoat was spectacular in the circle for Newberry.

FLORENCE — The Newberry Wolves jumped out to an early lead but were unable to hold onto it, as the Francis Marion Patriots took an 11-6 win at Sparrow Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.

With the loss, Newberry is now 4-2 on the baseball season enter-ing a three-game week-end series at national No. 1 Mount Olive on Saturday and Sunday.

Wesley Camp, Ryan Cranmer, Albert Baur and Andy Vogel each went 2-for-4 in the game, but FMU reliever Jeffrey Stoner struck out eight Wolves and allowed only two runs in 6.2 innings of work to help his team earn the win.

Newberry jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning after

Anthony Siler was hit by a pitch, Camp singled and Cranmer hit an RBI dou-ble. An RBI groundout from Eric Barbieri and a Vogel RBI single brought the runs in for the scarlet and gray. Unfortunately, the Wolves did not get to enjoy the lead for long as the Patriots put up six runs in the bottom of the inning. Jarrod Reed and David DeWolfe each drove in two as FMU sent 11 batters to the plate in the frame. Neither of the game’s starting pitchers survived the first inning.

Camp led off the third with a single that stretched all the way to third base when it was misplayed by the right fielder and Cranmer’s RBI single cut the lead to 6-4. FMU had a cold streak but broke out of

it in a big way with four runs in the fifth thanks to five straight singles, a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly to make it 10-4.

D.J. Roberts, of Chapin, helped the cause for the scarlet and gray in the top of the sixth with a pinch hit two-run double to cut the lead to 10-6, but the Patriots added one more run in the bottom of the inning. No Wolves reached base in the final three innings, snuffing any attempt at a late comeback.

Barbieri drives in four in Wolves’ 11-4 loss at Cobras

HARTSVILLE — Barbieri went 2-for-4 with four RBIs for the Newberry Wolves, but the Coker Cobras pound-ed out 19 hits to hand the Wolves an 11-4 loss

at Tom J. New Field on Tuesday afternoon.

With Tuesday’s per-formance, Barbieri now leads the team with nine RBIs on the young sea-son. He and Cranmer were the only players to record multiple hits for the Wolves.

Vogel got a Newberry rally started in the first inning with a one-out double followed by a Cranmer single. A Barbieri sacrifice fly gave Newberry a 1-0 lead.

The Cobras responded with a sacrifice fly of their own to tie the game in the bottom of the first. Both teams left the bases loaded in the second inning and Newberry was unable to score in the third. Coker’s Zach Loraine hit a two-run homer in the third and

his teammates tacked on three more runs that inning to take a 6-1 lead and break the game open.

Coker’s Frank Suarez hit a two-run single in the fourth to make it an 8-1 game as the Cobras pitching kept the Wolves at bay.

JoJo Bradley hit a one-out triple in the second and 10 Wolves came to the plate without another hit. Camp led off the fifth with a single up the mid-dle followed by an Siler walk, but both runners were stranded after three straight flyouts.

Baur led off the the sixth with a double but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a triple. Barbieri’s RBI single in the seventh broke the scoring drought, but Coker scored three in

the bottom of the frame including a two-run dou-ble by Loraine.

Pinch hitter Alex Kirby of Chapin led off the ninth with a bunt single and Cranmer kept the game alive with a two-out single followed by a two-run double to the left-center gap by Barbieri to cut the lead to 11-4, but the rally was put to rest on the next batter.

Of Newberry’s nine hits in the game, four went for extra bases. Newberry has had 16 of its 43 hits this season go for extra bases, includ-ing six triples in the five games.

Will Robbins fell to 1-1 on the season after allow-ing five runs on five hits and three walks in 2.1 innings.

NEWBERRY – During the halftimes of the double-header game in the Scott Gym between Newberry High and Batesburg-Leesville High on Tuesday night, several groups from a local dance company performed then the Bulldog boys waltzed their way to their seventh regional championship under Head Coach Chad Cary.

Having at least a three-game advantage with two games to go in the regular season, the sec-ond ranked Bulldogs handed the eighth ranked Panthers a seasonal sweep after their 80-48 victory. They had already won the region before taking the court.

Newberry is now 21-2

this season, has won 11 straight regional games including all nine this season, and has won 32 straight games inside the county during the past two years.

The Panthers took a first quarter lead at 10-9, giving the contingent of fans a lot to be excit-ed about sitting behind them.

Newberry would go on an 11-0 run to end the quarter, a run that would be extended to a 40-6 one for the duration of the first half as the Bulldogs led at the break, 49-16.

The Bulldogs barely won the third quarter scoring, 18-17, while the Panthers won the final quarter, 15-13.

Notorious Booker and Jalin Alexander had game highs 12 points apiece, as they each did their scor-

ing in only two quarters.Trey Miller also fin-

ished the night in double digits as he scored 10 points. Kaheem Praylow and Jaylen Lindsay scored seven points apiece while Jeremy Summers finished with six.

Bennett Wilson, Tyon Williams, Dominic Gilmore and Greely Saddler each scored four points for Newberry. Tovaris Cureton and Jimmy Willingham scored three points apiece. Devin Harmon and Raquon Davenport ended the Newberry scor-ing with two points each.

The results of Newberry’s senior night game against Mid-Carolina were not avail-able at press time but will be in Monday’s edition of The Observer.

ABBEVILLE — Mid-Carolina took a 50-71 loss at Abbeville on Tuesday. The Rebels have an 8-14 overall record and are 2-7 in the region.

Carolina with 13 points. Cornelius Glasgow also scored in the double digits with 10 points. Zach Parker added eight points and was followed by Javarius Nelson with seven points.

Brent Caldwell scored three points for the Rebels. Marcus Chapman,

Chris Boyd, Dante Boyd and Tevarres Taylor all scored two points. Mackenzie Flemon hit a free throw in the game.

SCE&G to give away tree seedlingsTrees given to enhance Lake Murray shoreline

COLUMBIA — As part of the shoreline enhancement project for Lake Murray, SCE&G will give away tree seedlings in February.

The giveaway will take place from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Feb. 15 and from 9 a.m. until noon Feb. 16 at the SCE&G Environmental Building, 6248 Bush River Road .

The Lake Murray Shoreline Habitat Enhancement Project is a cooper-ative effort between SCE&G, the Department of Natural Resources and lake interest groups. It is designed to improve the aesthetics of the lake’s shoreline, help control erosion, re-establish shoreline vegetation and protect water quality.

Tommy Boozer, who heads up SCE&G’s lake management activi-ties, said the planting of trees, shrubs and grasses helps enhance the fish habitat and reduces shoreline ero-sion.

“This program is designed as a long-term project to re-establish shoreline vegetation,” said Boozer. “It will take a cooperative effort

between lake management agencies, the general public and individual property owners to make the project a success.”

The seedlings will be distributed in bundles of 10 to 15 trees and will be free of charge for lake residents. Planting instructions will be pro-vided.

This is the 14th year of the tree giveaway, which has provided trees for hundreds of property owners. The trees that will be available this year are Cypress Bald, River Birch, Button Bushes and Southern Wax Myrtles.

“This is a great opportunity for individuals and lake groups to get involved by planting shoreline veg-etation and enhancing wildlife habi-tat,” said Boozer. “They will be avail-able for lake property owners to pick up and plant on the shoreline in front of their lots.”

Any questions concerning the Habitat Enhancement Project can be directed to SCE&G’s Lake Management Department at 803-217-9221.
