Nikki Haley during a three-hour service that was alternately somber and then punctu- ated by joyous singing. Friday was the anniversary of the shooting deaths of nine black parishio- HALEY ners during a Bible study at Emanuel AME Church. A white man, Dylann Roof, faces charges in both state and fed- eral courts and prosecutors in each are seeking the death penalty. Haley, who attended the fu- nerals of all the victims, said she got to know the families of both those who were killed and the three survivors in the days and weeks after the shootings. “There hasn’t been a day since June 17, 2015 that I haven’t thought about the 12,” RICK CARPENTER / THE SUMTER ITEM she said. Shirley Baker, left, who retired from the Sumter Senior Center after 40 years, reacts emotionally to the discovery that the building she has She recalled each victim, worked in has been renamed after her.

  • LINE DRIVES the NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 48, No
    LINE DRIVES THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 48, No. 3, Apr. 17, 2009) The President’s Message By NCBWA President Joe Dier NCBWA Membership: With the 2008-09 hoops season now in the record books, the collegiate spotlight is focusing more closely on the nation’s baseball diamonds. Though we’re heading into the final month of the season, there are still plenty of twists and turns ahead on the road to Omaha and the 2009 NCAA College World Series. The NCAA will soon be announcing details of next month’s tournament selection announcements naming the regional host sites (May 24) and the 64-team tournament field (May 25). To date, four different teams have claimed the top spot in the NCBWA’s national Division I polls --- Arizona State, Georgia, LSU, and North Carolina. Several other teams have graced the No. 1 position in other national polls. The NCAA’s mid-April RPI listing has Cal State Fullerton leading the 301-team pack, with 19 teams sporting 25-win records through games of April 12. For the record, New Mexico State tops the wins list with a 30-6 mark. As the conference races heat up from coast to coast, the NCBWA will begin the process for naming its All- America teams and the Divk Howser Trophy (see below). We will have a form going out to conference offices and Division I independents in coming days. Last year’s NCBWA-selected team included 56 outstanding baseball athletes, and we want to have the names of all deserving players on the table for consideration for this year’s awards.

One of America’s oldest global trade destinations, Norfolk has been transformed into a global center for international security and coastal resilience. We are home to Naval Station Norfolk, the world’s largest naval base, and NATO’s only headquarters in North America. We also serve as a national leader in health care, transportation, higher education, and visual and performing arts. Norfolk is investing in transformative projects that will enhance our assets, foster inclusive economic growth, and develop talented and motivated residents. In 2018, we launched the transformation of the St. Paul’s Area, which will reshape three public housing communities that encompass more than 200 acres near our thriving downtown. Investments in the people, physical infrastructure, and anchor institutions that are native to this area are helping us to attract new businesses and entrepreneurs that will drive regional productivity and growth. The neighborhoods of the St. Paul’s Area are just one example of the 16 qualified opportunity zones, the most of any city or county in the Commonwealth of Virginia, that we hope you will consider for investment.
