The Lake Murray Fishing Report

Viceroy's House

Lake Murray water levels are down to 354.56 (full pool is 360.00), and water temperatures are in the lower 60s down the lake but in the mid-50s up the lake.

It’s been a weird fall for bass fishing on Lake Murray, and veteran tournament angler Captain Doug Lown reports that fishing is pretty tough.

15-16 pounds is a really strong tournament bag right now.

All fall fish never really got into a good shallow pattern, and now it seems as if they have skipped over the fall pattern and gone straight into a winter bite.

The best bet for catching bass seems to be fishing around rocky 45-degree banks with a shakey head, no shallower than 6-10 feet of water.

More often 1020 feet is a better

depth range.

The Alabama rig is just starting to catch some fish, but only in certain places.

And unlike last year docks have just not been very productive.

The low water doesn’t help, but they don’t seem to even be around deeper docks.

In striped bass news, Captain Brad Taylor (803-331-1354) reports that the bulk of the keepers are being caught way up the Big and Little Saluda Rivers.

That’s not to say they can’t be caught in some other

areas, but the best pattern has been pulling live bait on free lines and planer boards as well as throwing double rigs up the rivers.

There are really good numbers of fish up there.

Early in the morning fish are out over the channel in 20-something feet of water, and when the afternoon warms the bays they move into 8-10 feet.

The bite has overall been better later in the day.

When the water temperature really cooled down crappie got extremely finicky, and Brad reports that they were biting very light.

However, things are beginning to level out now and anglers are catching some fish trolling jigs and minnows.

Most of the fish are being caught adjacent to the channel, and if you can find any kind of cover it is concentrating fish. Fish are very scattered but 1215 feet has been the best depth range.

No change on the catfish front.

Airport High’s Drill Team wins JROTC state competition

By Rachel Haynie haynie.rachel@gmail.com

Airport High School’s Golden Talons, E.L.I.T.E JROTC Drill Team, took the 2017 Palmetto State JROTC Drill Team Championship. Dec. 2.

Hosts of this year’s competition were named Best of the Best in this All Army competition.

Saturday marked the 26-member team’s eighth consecutive win, and further strengthens its national reputation.

On Nov. 18, the team competed at Lower Richland High School, bringing home the League Championship for the 13th consecutive year.

And this spring, the team finished third in the National High School Drill Team Championships in Daytona Beach, Florida.

The team’s national reputation was one factor in Airport High School’s selection as a host site for the History Channel’s Take a Veteran to School event, held in early November.

Some members of the Golden Talons performed at that assembly.

“I really enjoy seeing these kids grow and mature,” said CSM Harry Ferguson, the drill team’s coach and advisor.

Ferguson has guided this and former Airport drill teams to competitive placements at local, state, regional and national levels.

The South Carolina Lowcountry native said he’s been in uniform all his adult life.

Ferguson previously served as a drill instructor at Fort Jackson, the largest U.S. Army basic training base.

Drill instructors from Fort Jackson were judges for the Dec. 2 state competition.

Before Ferguson began his first year as the Airport drill team coach and advisor in 2000, he studied as many tapes from nationallevel competitions as he could get his hands on.

“Once we found some good routines and matched personnel ability with what we needed to be doing,” Ferguson said, “we started coming together as a team.”

Only five members of last year’s team graduated this past spring, so the current team is mature and

experienced.

Ferguson said rising freshmen can register for a two-week summer camp where they can learn about the drill team and its requisite commitment.

Ferguson has seen students who joined as freshmen grow into roles of helping younger members learn the ropes for highlevel competition.

“We practice every day, from right after school until 5:30 p.m. This is not like a sport that has a season; this is a year-round, after-school activity.”

Many of the drill routines the team executes are done with demilitarized 1903 weapons with barrels

welded shut.

“These guns are decades old and weigh about 9 pounds, so that’s a significant weight for students to be spinning and catching,” Ferguson said.

“It makes our practices tough.”

The Golden Talons’ Dec. 2 state competition win positions them to advance to a seven-state brigade competition set for February.

In the meantime, Ferguson is working to instill a championship attitude among his team members: “Winners practice until they get it right. Champions practice until they can’t get it wrong.”

Feast on fish at Christmas

By Angela Shelf Medearis

I

’ve been reading about Christmas customs, holiday meals and traditional feasts in Europe.

One of the things I love the most about studying food is the insight that culinary traditions give you into history and culture.

Studying culinary traditions is a wonderful way to discover history through food.

I particularly enjoyed reading about a tradition called The Feast of the Seven Fishes, also know as The Vigil, along with several delicious recipes for preparing fish.

The fish often is used as a symbol of Christianity. Because of persecution faced by the early church, when a Christian met a stranger in the road, the Christian sometimes drew one arc of a simple fish outline in the dirt. If the stranger drew the other arc, both believers knew they were in good company.

Preparing and eating seafood on Christmas Eve in celebration of the birth of Christ is an old European tradition.

Many families abstain from eating meat and serve only fish or other types of seafood on Christmas Eve. This traditional dinner is a southern Italian custom in which a meal of at least seven different kinds of seafood is served before midnight on Christmas Eve. A typical feast features various types of fish, eel, octopus, calamari, mussels, clams, sardines, shrimp and lobster.

While researching the preparation of the seafood for this feast, I discovered a delicious recipe for Pasta with Sardines and Lemon Caper Sauce.

This budget-friendly recipe is packed with flavor while using only a few, highquality ingredients.

It’s the perfect dish for feeding and serving a crowd during the holidays.

Pasta with sardines and lemon caper sauce • 8 ounces angel hair (capellini) or spaghetti pasta • 7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs • 1 package (about 4.3 ounces) imported sardines, in pure olive

oil, drained and oil reserved • ½ medium onion, minced • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced • 2 teaspoons lemon zest • ¼ to ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper • 3 tablespoons capers, rinsed • ¼ cup lemon juice, plus 3 tablespoons for sprinkling • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil, chopped 1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving a cup of the pasta cooking water. Rinse pasta under cool water for a moment or two to keep the noodles loose. Reserve.

2. In a large skillet or saute pan, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil. Add the Panko breadcrumbs and toast until lightly browned and crunchy, stirring occasionally. Remove breadcrumbs to a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

3. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil and the reserved sardine oil to the pan and turn the heat to medium.

4. Once the olive oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, lemon zest, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper.

Cook until the onions are soft and translucent (watch carefully so that mixture doesn’t burn).

5. Add the sardines and capers to the pan. Saute for about 2 minutes until warmed through, breaking up sardines into smaller pieces as you saute. When the sardines begin to turn golden, slowly stir in the lemon juice.

6. Add the cooked pasta and freshly chopped parsley or basil to the pan. Toss pasta to evenly coat with sauce, mixing well with the other ingredients. If the pasta seems too dry, add a little of the reserved pasta cooking water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to loosen it a bit.

7. The pasta should not be thick or heavy, the noodles should be lightly coated with oil. Add additional salt, pepper, pepper or chili pepper flakes to taste, if desired.

Top with the breadcrumbs and a sprinkle of lemon juice. Serve hot. Serves 4.

The 2nd time the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor

W

e all remember how Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.

But what about March 4, 1942, the second time Pearl Harbor came under Japanese attack?

It’s true. Less than 90 days after the “date which will live in infamy,” Japanese bombs again fell on the Pacific island.

Though far less lethal than the first round, the second strike was considered too hot for the American people to know about at the time. And so it was kept hidden for decades.

Here is the secret story of Operation K. Japan’s Imperial Navy had scored a spectacular victory with the first bombardment.

Though not a complete success (because the biggest prize of all, the Pacific Fleet’s three aircraft carriers, were at sea), it was still bad.

Four battleships were sunk and four others severely damaged.

Nearly 200 warplanes were destroyed and another 159 damaged. Eleven other

It’s a Dog’s Life Sports quickies

Why did the football coach send in his second string?

To tie up the game!

Why do soccer players have so much trouble eating popcorn balls?

They think that they can’t use their hands.

What do you get if you cross a karate expert with a pig?

A pork chop!

Did you hear about the karate expert who joined the Army?

The first time he saluted, he cracked his helmet.

Why did the basketball wear a bib?

So it wouldn’t dribble.

What do you call a boomerang that doesn’t come back?

A stick.

Football player: Coach, my doctor says I can’t play football.

Coach: You didn’t have to go to a doctor. I could have told you that.

Raised heart rate As a younger man, I was in great shape. As an airline pilot, I was required to have a Flight physical every six months.

The nurse took the basic data, weight, height, and blood pressure. My pressure was good, but the heart rate was below 40 beats per minute.

“I cannot put that number down. You’ll be denied a physical,” she said.

“What can I do?” I replied.

She held my hand and winked, saying, “Just think about me for a minute!”

Retaking my blood pressure and heart rate, she stated, “53 will be OK, but

you really know how to hurt a girl’s feelings!”

Good deeds A man appeared before St. Peter at the pearly gates. “Have you ever done anything of particular merit?” St. Peter asked.

“Well, I can think of one thing,” the man offered.

“Once, I came upon a gang of bikers, who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn’t listen.

“So, I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker and smacked him on the head, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground. I yelled, ‘Now, back off!! Or you’ll answer to me!’”

St. Peter was impressed, “When did this happen?”

“Just a couple minutes ago.”

Elephant troubles

refueled, they took off from French Frigate Shoals and headed for Oahu some 560 miles away.

Then the clear skies they had counted on disappeared as a thick cloud cover rolled in.

That meant that while American defenders on the ground couldn’t see the flying boats, the flying boats couldn’t see the ground, either.

The clouds also confused the two Japanese pilots, who were supposed to attack in tandem.

However, the second flying boat didn’t hear the order coming from the first; they went their separate ways.

Squinting through murky clouds, it was impossible to see anything below. So the planes dropped their bombs when crewmen guessed

plans to test out their new Kawanishi H8K flying boats, as no one was hurt in the attack.

they were close to their targets.

The first group of bombs fell on a mountainside near Roosevelt High School, creating deep craters and shattering nearby windows.

No one was hurt. It’s believed the second plane’s bombs fell in the Pacific Ocean.

Thanks to the wartime blackout, the pilots couldn’t use lights to guide them off the island.

Both eventually made their way to different airbases on the Marshall Islands.

What did Operation K produce? Not much, beyond showing Japanese warplanes could still penetrate Hawaiian airspace.

While the American army and navy blamed each other for the mysterious nocturnal explosions, another intelligence run was being

Fighting to Make State Government Small Business Friendly

planned for March 6 or 7.

But exhausted crews and damaged planes pushed it back to May 30.

By then, Tokyo was desperate to learn the whereabouts of the U.S. aircraft carriers. It was too late.

The Americans had finally wisened up to French Frigate Shoals use as a refueling site and rushed warships to the area.

The Japanese reluctantly scrapped their plans.

As a result, they had no idea that the U.S. carriers were secretly rushing toward what would become the decisive Battle of Midway, which stopped Japan’s offensive in its tracks and set Americans on the long road to victory.

How history might have turned out differently if Japan’s attempts to put an eye in the sky had succeeded.

him for it.

“I don’t see why I have to show you my ID,” the pilot snapped. “After all, it is my plane.”

“Sir, with all due respect, it may be your plane,” replied the Air Force security man, “but it’s sitting in my garage!”

A fool and his money

It seems that an elephant got too close to all the baby ducks the circus had brought in for Easter, and accidentally inhaled a bunch of them.

The poor elephant was choking on them and no one could help.

Finally the trainer goosed him and the elephant blew out a whole trunkful of downy feathers.

That’s what he gets for snorting quack.

Two women are walking down the street and come to the window of a jewelry store.

They stop to admire a gorgeous diamond bracelet in the window.

The first one says, “Beautiful, isn’t it? But who would be fool enough to pay 90,000 for it?”

To which the second one replies, “I don’t know, but I hope I find him.”

Possession

On the Right Foot

During a readiness exercise, two Air Force security policemen were guarding entry to a bunker-like structure where aircraft were kept.

When a pilot about to do a preflight check approached without his identification in plain view, one of the Air Force security policemen asked

I took my daughter to the doctor for her 4-year-old check-up.

They had her do coordination tests, like stacking blocks, and they watched to see if she walked properly.

Then the doctor said, “Allison, can you stand on one foot for me?”

And she walked over and stood on his foot.

oes your shoulder ache or hurt when you move it a certain direction? Are there sudden, sharp pains that shoot from your neck into your shoulder when you move it? You may think you can, but you can’t put this off.

How about washing your hair or even scratching your back? Do those hurt? If you answered “YES,” you need help. You can have scar tissue, or a host of other things going wrong with your shoulder and your PAIN is there for a reason.

Have you given up your favorite sport because of your shoulder pain?

If you have, you’re getting older maybe, and there’s nothing worse than feeling good mentally, but physically you feel like crap because your shoulder hurts. And for whatever reason that shoulder pain just won’t go away!

A teacher performs with her Nursery Road Elementary School students in an anti-bullying

District 5 elementary school presents anti-bullying projects Special to the Chronicle

Nursery Road Elementary students presented anti-bullying projects during a November assembly.

In order to actively engage the second through fifth graders, school counselor Jessica Deffendall challenged the students in October to brainstorm and present solutions to create awareness of bullying and ways to prevent occurrences at school.

The event on Nov. 21 included a wide array of projects that ranged from videos, a musical duet, personalized t-shirt designs, trading cards and more.

“I immediately knew that if I wanted the students to be engaged in creating this

bully free environment I needed to allow them to take the lead,” Deffendall said. “With that in mind I came up with the idea for this challenge to allow them to use their own talents and abilities to make it personal for them.”

Each student was required research information on bullying and preventative methods.

After completing the report, students were given the option to do a project of their own choosing that would aid in educating others and help eliminate bullying.

“I appreciate students taking the lead in this project because it gives them the opportunity to own the message that bullying is some-

thing we will not tolerate. It is not just another lesson in ‘things not to do,” said Love Ligons, principal of Nursery Road Elementary School.

Deffendall said, “They took my challenge and ran with it, creating some truly impressive projects. We have seen a positive change in their interactions with one another and fostering relationships that likely would not have been formed without this initiative.”

Towards the end of the assembly, students had the chance to stand and take a pledge in making Nursery Road Elementary a bullyfree zone; they also signed a pledge board as part of that declaration.

“The anti-bullying presentation was critically

important for students to experience and witness because it showed the power students have to create change in the school,” District Five chief planning and administrative officer, Dr. Michael Harris said.

“The students demonstrated that they are taking a proactive lead in their school. Should there be any student who has not bought into the anti-bullying school-wide agreement, this experience was powerful enough for that student to rethink his/her position and motivate him/ her to make the necessary adjustments to join their classmates and stand up for good at Nursery Road Elementary school.”

Laken Busher smiles as he holds up the blue ribbon he won at the S.C. State Fair for his LEGO model.

5th-grader turns LEGOs into a blue ribbon

By Rachel Ham Lex 1 Communications Manager

A Lake Murray Elementary student won a blue ribbon at this year’s state fair for a creation using one of his favorite toys.

Fifth-Grader Laken C. Busher impressed the judges at the South Carolina State Fair with an entry built out of LEGO bricks.

Knowing his creative side, Busher’s grandmother Carol, a baker, encourages him to express himself through baking and Lego building.

Busher has been entering his LEGO creations in the state fair since he was in first grade.

This year, he won first place in the Handicrafts category for building a model of a farm, complete with a LEGO tractor, and was awarded a check in the amount of $10.

Before building the model, Busher used his computer skills to submit an online application requesting that the state fair committee approve his proposed project for entry.

Embracing life.
