AN ORAL HISTORY OF SOUTH CAROLINA NEWSPAPERS
Remembering Eyewitnesses to History
CO-SPONSORED BY:
School of Journalism and Mass Communications
THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT
Our project’s goal is to capture video and audio
interviews of some of South Carolina’s leading newspaper
journalists from the last half century. We wish to
ensure that the heritage of the state’s journalists and newspapers is preserved.
The Oral History is located on a website containing video and audio recordings, photos, links and biographic information. In addition to
recalling stories from the past, such as the Orangeburg Massacre, we are also interviewing selected journalists who covered signifi cant
events to give their oral recollections and background information.
AP Reporter, Jim Davenport’s interview page on the website.
OUR CURRENT INTERVIEWEES
Time is of the essence with this long-term, ongoing
project. We must get interviews before key
witnesses are gone. This is important for future generations of South
Carolinians so we do not forget, and can broaden our
perspective by looking at the past.

Rosa says it’s timeto be accountable
BY GLENN SMITHand GENE [email protected]@postandcourier.com
Citadel President Lt. Gen. John Rosa is urging cadets to cooper-ate with investigators as Charles-ton police examine long-shelved allegations Louis “Skip” ReVille shared porn and masturbation sessions with juvenile campers at the school.
Meanwhile, a private Lowcountry school where ReVille coached and taught, Pinewood Prep in Sum-merville, is pledging to say some-thing soon about its own history
with the admitted molester after weeks of silence on the matter.
Rose told a packed hall of 2,200 cadets Tuesday afternoon that the
school regrets failing to inform police about a camper’s allegation when it first surfaced in 2007. The teen told school officials that five years earlier, ReVille lured male campers into his room with Chi-nese food and pizza, then exposed them to porn and group mastur-bation.
The Citadel quietly shelved the matter after a brief internal inves-tigation and never reported the complaint to police. ReVille went on to teach and coach around the Lowcountry, and he is now charged with molesting at least five boys.

Mentor Drew Ciccarelli (left) meets with T.J. Figueroa, 15, of West Ashley at Riley Park for the first time as the pair participate in the Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities Program.
EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the second in a two-part series on sports and mentoring
BY GENE [email protected]
T.J. Figueroa, one of 10 chil-dren, was introduced to his new mentor last week at Riley
Park. The 15-year-old from West Ashley was quick with a firm hand-shake.
Drew Ciccarelli detected an accent.“You from up north?” asked
Ciccarelli, 30, a Charleston business owner and volunteer mentor in the
Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities youth baseball program.
“Yeah,” Figueroa said. “New Jersey. We moved here two years ago because
my mom didn’t like all the crime up there. Someone got shot on our base-ball field.”
Ciccarelli spotted T.J.’s New York Yankees T-shirt and threw the per-fect first pitch.
“You like the Yankees?” Ciccarelli said. “I’m from New Jersey, too. I love the Yankees.”
T.J. smiled.“The Yankees are my favorite.”“What about football? You like the
Giants?”“Nah. I like the Cowboys.”“Oh, no,” Ciccarelli said. “I hate the
Cowboys. At least we both hate the Eagles.”
A potentially great relationship is born, another clutch hit for one of two Lowcountry sports mentoring models. The Charleston RBI chap-ter and the First Tee golf program provide critically needed options for youth in neighborhoods statisti-cally more likely to send kids to jail and rehabilitation facilities than golf courses or on baseball road trips.

St. John’s high school football player Johnny Burch said he has greatly benefited from life lessons learned from mentor Garrett Chisolm.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first in a two-part series on sports and mentoring.
BY GENE [email protected]
Garrett Chisolm had most of the St. John’s High School football players in tears. He told the team how he per-severed through his 2010 senior year as an offensive line-man for the South Carolina Gamecocks, breaking into the starting lineup, surviving the cancer deaths of both of his parents a few months apart and eventually carrying head coach Steve Spurrier off the field to celebrate the school’s first Southeastern Conference East Division championship.
Johnny Burch wanted more.“It really got to me,” Burch,
a senior at St. John’s, told Chi-solm. “It motivated me.”
Chisolm, lineman to line-man, offered Burch some football pointers. More im-portantly, he sold life lessons.
“What if my parents died? What would I do?” Burch said. “Am I strong like this man? Or am I a coward? I’d want to fight like Garrett Chisolm and be successful.”
Burch, 18, is a good student mulling college options and says he has benefited from a sports-heavy mentor/speaker program
that St. John’s guidance counsel-or Mark Epstein has presented over the last two years.
“It has helped me become a better leader,” Burch said, “not just at school, but in the community.”
Experts agree that mentor-ing is increasingly important as the percentage of U.S. chil-dren living apart from biologi-cal fathers has grown steadily, up from 11 percent in 1960 to 27 percent in 2010. A mentor-ing boom — both official and informal, and often including involvement in sports — has tried to fill the “father figure” gap, particularly among at-risk children statistically suscepti-ble to jail and drug use.
Coaches fill ‘father figure’ void
