The building is designed to provide
a suitable acoustical atmosphere. Walls
between the faculty studios and student

BLACKVILLE ? A suspended student
whose father said he sometimes got
picked on because he was small walked
into his high school Thursday, shot and
seriously wounded a teacher, then killed
himself.
A second teacher died, although authorities
were unsure whether she was
shot or suffered a heart attack.
Toby R. Sincino, 16, was expelled
early last school year but was back on
probationary status. He was suspended
again Wednesday after making an
obscene gesture on a school bus and faced
another expulsion.
On Thursday, he walked through a
back door at Blackville-Hilda High School
armed with a .32-caliber revolver. He
strode by two classrooms and entered a
third where he fired the gun at math
teacher Johnny Thompson, 38, investigators
said.
Sincino continued down the hall
where he apparently confronted another
math teacher, 56-year-old Phyllis
Senn, who was later found dead in a
teachers' work room, State Law En
forcement Division spokesman Hugh
Munn said. No wounds were visible on
her body and an autopsy would be conducted
Friday to determine how she
died.
Thompson was in serious but stable
condition, said Rubenia Hammond, a
spokeswoman for Aiken Regional Medical
Centers.
Sincino's father, Randolph, said his

The recital hall seats 220 people. It s
is complete with high tech audio/ light- r

In keeping with the progression of a
technology, the new school has a mu- n

son was a small boy who sometimes was
picked on by other students in this rural
town of3,000 people about 45 miles
south of Columbia.
"The only time he had a temper is
when somebody kicked at him. I know
a couple of times when he tried to stand
up for his rights," the father said.
A cousin, Eric McCrary, said other
children would lock Sincino, who was
less than 5 feet tall, in lockers or dump
him upside down in trash cans.
Sincino's sister, Mary Ann, a high
school sophomore, said her brother was
a private person.
'Toby always kept secrets. He always
kept to himself. All we know is
how his behavior was (and) it was good,"
she said.
Sincino's father said he didn't know
about his son's suspension and the teen
was not acting unusual when he left for
school on Thursday.
Connie Nickens, a 17-year-old senior
who was in the classroom across the hall
from where Thompson was shot, said
Sincino did not look mad. "He looked
like he didn't know what he was doing
? like something went through his head
but he didn't know why."
School officials said they could not
immediately remember without consulting
records why Sincino was expelled r
from middle school last year. He was a
high school freshman this year, although
students his age are normally juniors.
Sincino's body was found outside the
school office door. He had shot himself
in the right temple, Munn said.

Associated Press
COLUMBIA ? The South Carolina
State Fair draws about 500,000 people
from around the state just ready
to buy stuff So why are some local merchants
unhappy?
They say it's become too long and
unfairly sucks money from their businesses.
"People spend money at the fair
rather than on anything else, and there
is only X-number of dollars to go
around," said Donald Harmon of Harmon
Sportswear on Broad River Road.
With an area economy that's flat,
Harmon said, "The fair just makes it
more difficult to make money."
Harmon told The State for a story
Thursday that he thinks running the
fair for 11 days is overdoing it The feuused
to last six days but has been expanded
as it has grown more popular.
Ronald Wray, who owns a Subway
sandwich stop on Broad River Road,
also objects.
"It drains business from us the
whole month of October," he said. "People
go down there and spend too much
money, and when the fair is gone, the
money is gone. It doesn't come back to

The School of Music consists of 280
indergraduate students in six degree
ureas, 140 graduate students in nine
naster's degree areas and 42 full-time
acuity members. It offers the only doc;oral
degree programs in South Car)lina.
In addition, 2,000 non-music maors
take music classes each year.
"Even without a new building I would
ye proud to be with such an exceptional
faculty and talented, committed group
students," Payne said. "In terms of qualty,
this will help us rise from excellent

the community."
However, the fair's director, Gary
Goodman, says the fair employs about
600 local workers with a $500,000 payroll
? money that does come back to
the community.
It pays sales taxes and vendors
must buy business licenses, and much
of the food and produce used by the
vendors is bought locally, Goodman
said.
Many of the 500,000 people who
come from around the state also stay
in local hotels and eat in local restaurants,
he said.
Charles Brooks, owner of the nearby
Fairgrounds Plaza Hotel, says he's
been booked solid through the fair's
run.
"I wish we had 52 fair weeks a year,"
he said.
Jim Hatchell, president of the South
Carolina Merchants Association, acknowledges
there is unhappiness in
some quarters, but he doesn't emphasize
it.
"Ihe sentiment is there, always has
been, but it's not really widespread,"
he said. "We've never looked at it as a
negative."
