FISHING REPORT

LAKE MURRAY:

Bass: Fair. Captain Doug Lown reports that first thing in the morning some fish can be found shallow feeding on bait, and later in the day fish can be found around rocky points where they will take Carolina rigs. Throwing topwaters early in the creeks can also catch fish.

Crappie: Excellent. Captain Brad Taylor (803-331-1354) reports that crappie fishing has been very strong with minnows fished over brush in about 15-20 feet of water.

Striped bass: Good. Captain Brad Taylor reports that first thing free lines and planer boards will catch fish, and after that down lines in the 40-foot range have been productive.

Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that fancasting cut herring and dip baits around humps has been productive for channel catfish.

A garniture is a matching, but not identical set

T

he beautifully painted English porcelain set of three vases would have graced the parlor mantel of an 1890’s home. The two vases to the side would flank the vase in the middle; each having been hand-painted to match the others, crafting a suite known as a “garniture.”

These decorative suites of assembled objects were also used as dining table decoration, sometimes resting on a mirrored plateau to reflect the blooms placed inside.

These sets were intentionally crafted as multiple parts connected through a design theme that goes from piece to piece, forming a complete scene or serious of connected images.

This set came to life in one of England’s famous porcelain factories. It was made from a unique blend of locally sourced organic materials that became known as “bone porcelain.”

After the porcelain pieces were initially

formed, they were painted and fired with a base color such as Pompadour Pink, pastel green or blue, or sometimes a plain white background. There would be areas left blank which would then be painted by a special artist skilled in the art of garniture painting.

Flowers specific to the garden of the intended owner would have been featured to enhance the special appeal of the home.

Filled with flowers or sitting empty, garniture sets such as this add beauty to any room and joy to any occasion.

Easy ways to get a virus I cannot stress enough how important it is to let your operating system update itself.

Whether Windows 95, Windows 8, Windows 10, Linux, Apple’s OS X or any other, make sure that you update as much and as often as you can.

These companies roll out updates and new software to plug security leaks and protect your computer.

ravelin’ T WITH THE CHRONICLE

MacLeod with Albuquerque Journal General Manager Brian Fantl in Old Town after a sumptuous meal at local favorite Monica’s El Portal.

They also serve who stand & wait MacLeod and Jerry Bellune are spending their children’s inheritance traveling the country and enjoying every minute. Here is an account of their travels from South Carolina to the Southwest and back, a 4,736-mile trip through 11 states.

Albuquerque, N.M.

After a filling meal of chili rellenos at the Hacienda del Rio Restaurant & Margarita Cantina, I figured we should follow the local customs.

That meant a return to our hotel for an afternoon nap.

After all, we had a reunion and big night ahead with our

friends Brian and Jeannette Fantl who we had not been with for many years.

Brian and Jeanette were living in Albuquerque after many brutal Chicago winters.

Chicago has two seasons — winter and August.

The winters became too much for a South Carolina boy and a chance to move back to Albuquerque was too tempting to turn down.

No nap for Bonzo

Rather than a peaceful, rejuvenating two-hour siesta, MacLeod had other plans.

There had to be at least a dozen shops she had not yet surveyed. No telling what marvels she might find in them to take home.

My limit is about six of these tourist traps. On a

good day, maybe seven.

MacLeod has far more stamina. Her disinterested non-shopaholic husband could take himself outside.

Joining me on one gift shop’s porch was a fellow outcast in a Cincinnati Reds baseball cap and beard.

He looked up at me with sympathy in his eyes but he wasn’t about to relinquish his rocker, the porch’s only one.

He clearly was waiting, like me, for the love of his life to exhaust her interest in the dazzling delights inside.

“Is she inside spending all your money,” I asked as only weary husbands can.

He smiled indulgently.

“I hope not,” he said. “But she’s never seen a tag on anything anywhere that doesn’t capture her attention.”

Refugees from the storm

Exhausted from the rigors of all-day shopping, we drove back to our hotel. We were waiting outside when Jean-

nette and Brian pulled in.

Brian’s arm was in a sling.

A nasty fall had limited Brian’s mobility and Jeannette was the designated driver.

It is an ideal arrangement for a spouse. You can’t go anywhere without her.

Brian grew up in South Carolina. We’ve known each other since he was a teenager.

His father had been my writing partner. Brian’s grandfather had been a New Jersey butcher who sent his son to the University of Chicago for a first class education.

Jeanette is a dark-haired New Mexico beauty. They met on a blind date while he was stationed in the U.S. Army in Albuquerque.

Brian has a degree in accounting, a practical education for newspapermen.

While people like me were out spending the newspaper’s money covering the news, folks like Brian were making sure there was enough reve-

nue to keep us going.

After his military service, the Albuquerque Journal hired him as an assistant controller. There he gained executive experience that led to a general manager’s job offer at the Chicago Sun-Times.

In winter, Chicago sits frozen on the shore of Lake Michigan, buffeted by every bone-chilling breeze our friends in Canada send us.

Returning to Albuquerque became a blessing.

Monica’s El Portal

En route to one of their favorite local restaurants, Monica’s El Portal on Rio Grande Boulevard for dinner, Brian’s phone rang. It was his managing editor with a request.

She wanted to move advertising from one page to another to make space for a lengthy story.

“Jump” is newspaper slang for stories too long to print on one page. They need to be continued on another page.

July 3rd & 4th Bulk Hours

July 3 - 9am-3pm July 4 - 7am-2pm

Buffet Lunch Hours July 3 - 11am-2pm July 4 - 11am-2pm

408 Ervin Price Rd. 803-892-2502 803-351-2851 We are open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at our regular hours.

We sell BBQ by the lb., Whole BBQ Chickens, Hash, Rice, Coleslaw, and other sides.

Call in orders must be placed by July 2, 2016 for pick up on July 3 or July 4.

Call 892-2502 or 351-2851 to place your order. Orders must be picked up on 7/3 by 3pm and 7/4 by 2pm.

At the Chronicle, we consider this a barbaric way to treat our loyal readers.

Our stories never jump.

Brian advised her how to do what she wanted to do and hung up.

“What would you have told her?” he asked.

“That’s easy,” I said. “Write shorter stories” Real food

Monica’s El Portal isn’t fancy like some places in Old Town that cater to tourists.

It’s family owned, has plenty of parking, caters to locals and sits on the edge of Old Town where rents are lower.

Monica serves real New Mexican food. And so generous, you can’t eat it all.

She has a good business model. If your food is good and the service friendly, the locals will come back.

Tourists are here today and gone tomorrow.

Next: Have you ever been to a lavender farm?

Travel Tip

We were fortunate to know Brian and Jeanette.

They live in Albuquerque and know the best places in town to eat.

Many places we stopped, we had no idea where to eat.

If you find yourself in that situation, do what we do.

Ask local people where they like to eat. They’ll steer you away from the over-priced dumps and to the best places.

Benefits of a Digital Detox During Summer Travel Tech safety tips for summer travel Despite your best intentions to take time off for a relaxing getaway, chances are high that you’ll find it difficult to fully unplug from your digital devices. While you probably realize that staying connected prevents you from recharging, you may not be aware that it can also expose you to potential security risks.

In a recent survey by Intel Security, more than half (55 percent) of participants who intended to unplug from their digital devices on vacation were unsuccessful in doing so. The respondents revealed that practical reasons like access to online banking apps and tools, such as maps and search engines, are what keep people tethered to their smartphones.

If you’re like the majority of travelers who take their smartphones with them on vacation, it’s important to remain alert and prepared as pickpockets and thieves can target travelers and take advantage of large crowds and distractions. In addition, cybercriminals count on human and device vulnerabilities to provide them with a point of access to personal data, and summer vacations are often full of distractions and opportunities.

If you’re planning a trip and will have your mobile device on hand, keep these tips, from the experts at Intel Security, in mind to help protect your personal information and better guard yourself from online risks: Back-up data: Losing your mobile device or having it stolen can easily happen while on vacation and it’s best to be prepared. Back-up your data to ensure that your personal photos and messages are safe and use a PIN or password to protect your data should it fall into the wrong hands.

Create social walls: Passing time at the airport can lead to posting updates from your mobile device. Whether it’s checking in with your location or posting a silly selfie, criminals can use your social information to monitor when you’re away and at your weakest point to defend against an attack, whether online or at a physical address they know is unoccupied.

Limit Wi-Fi and Bluetooth use: Although it may be tempting to preserve your data plan, switching to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in lieu of your private data network can be a recipe for disaster. Connecting to unprotected Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices can expose your personal information to a cyber-criminal, especially if you’re processing a payment over an unsecure network.

Give yourself a work “time-out”: Accessing work files on unprotected Bluetooth and Wi-Fi networks can be risky. Work related files can contain private company information that can jeopardize the digital security of a business. These files should not be accessed on public Wi-Fi, yet 47 percent of survey participants reported doing so while on vacation. If you do tap into Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, make sure you are connecting to a reputable source with the name of the business of where you are located such as “starbuckswifi.”

Check and monitor your accounts: Keep an eye out for suspicious activity in your bank account history. This is the only way to react quickly to potential fraud and know if your bank or credit card accounts have been compromised. Be meticulous about keeping track of your account activity to ensure that a criminal can’t use your account without your knowledge.

Mix Up Your Grilling Fare Simply marinate tender cuts of steak, chicken and shrimp overnight and fire up the grill the next day to create a juicy, tantalizing spread that’s perfect for sharing. Whether your family and friends prefer smoky steaks or sweet, charred shrimp, there’s something for everyone.

To take your spread to the next level, follow these tips from chef Johnny Hernandez and the makers of Tabasco Sauce: * Cook over a wood flame to add a richer, smokier flavor to grilled meats. * Marinate proteins to ensure flavors are properly and evenly incorporated. * Create high- and low-heat zones on the grill to control and ensure even cooking for different types of meats and vegetables.

* Baste with extra Tabasco Sauce while grilling to give meats and vegetables an added flavor boost.

PHOTO: Scene from “The Dark Horse” Photo Credit: Koch Media/ Neue Visionen --PICKS OF THE WEEK “Everybody Wants Some!!”

(R) -- It’s a hot August in southeast Texas in 1980 when freshman Jake (Blake Jenner) slips into his new digs with the baseball team at an unnamed university. There’s good music on the radio, beautiful girls and a weekend to fill with hijinks before classes start. Jake is introduced to the macho posturing and good-natured ribbing of his teammates with whom he must share a house, and stirs up romance with Beverly (Zo-

ey Deutch), a performing-arts major and welcome reprieve from the jock-a-thon.

Richard Linklater has made it very clear that this film is the sorta sequel to 1993’s “Dazed and Confused,” which gave a similarly plotless but endearing ride through teen life in the late 1970s. It’s not about a guy getting the girl, winning the big game or getting over childhood baggage.

It’s a nostalgic look back at very particular transitional moment in time, like watching a fiery sunset with its own soundtrack cassette.

“The Dark Horse” (R) -Gifted with a talent for speedchess and burdened with bipolar disorder, Genesis Potini (Cliff Curtis) struggles to take control of his life and find purpose. A native New Zealander, he shuffles about his impover-

ished Maori neighborhood between hospital stints until he finds his mission: sharing his chess gifts with a club of local kids and inspiring them to take on the more privileged clubs.

Gen also looks out for his teen nephew, Mana (James Rolleston), who’s being recruited into a local gang.

So sure, the genre-lines are showing: A down-and-out loner leads a ragtag team of underprivileged underdog youngsters to a big-deal tournament in the final act. Yet this movie is still effective and engaging despite all of that.

Curtis’ performance defies expectations -- he packed on more than 65 pounds to play a real-life guy and did justice to his complicated issues.

“The Divergent Series: Allegiant” (PG-13) -- This young-

adult franchise continues its downward trend with this latest installment in which our young heroes (Shailene Woodley and Theo James as Tris and Four) discover that their dystopian society is actually contained within a larger, more dystopian dystopia. Jeff Daniels speaks for the shady bureaucracy of this bigger society, and his explanations and discussions of various plot elements seem as if they will last into the next collapse of civilization. The action is toned down, and this already derivative series fades evermore into the background.

“Green Room” (R) -- This

claustrophobic and (relatively) low-budget horror flick has a real mean edge and surprising sense of humor -- and an awesomely sinister Patrick Stewart! Scrappy punk band The Ain’t Rights add one more gig to their crappy tour, and it turns out to be a grimy neo-Nazi bar way out in rural Oregon. The band (which includes Anton Yelchin, a great young talent who died in a tragic accident last month) sees something backstage that they weren’t supposed to see, and find themselves barricaded in the green room, besieged by Nazi punks and their calculating commander (Stewart). The musicians

What Time is It? On some air bases the Air Force is on one side of the field and civilian aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control tower in the middle.

One day the tower on one particular base received a call from an aircraft asking, “What time is it?”

The tower responded, “Who is calling?”

The aircraft replied, “What difference does it make?”

The tower replied “It makes a lot of difference: If it is an American Airlines Flight, it is 3 o’clock.

If it is an Air Force, it is 1500 hours.

If it is a Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells.

If it is an Army aircraft, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 3.

If it is a Marine Corps aircraft, it’s Thursday afternoon.”

Warranty Claim An angry client went back to the automobile garage where he’d purchased an expensive battery for his car six months earlier.

“Listen,” the motorist grumbled to the owner of the garage, “when I bought this battery you said it would be the last battery my car would ever need. It died after only six months!”

“Sorry,” apologized the garage owner. “I didn’t think your car would last longer than that.”

Telemarketer Avoidance A man I know has the perfect response when telemarketers call to get him to switch long distance services.

He says “I don’t have a phone.”

They usually say “Oh, I’m sorry.” and hang up.

MISSION: RESCUE NAPOLEON The unlikely tale of pirates, a mayor, a French emperor and a jazz legend

Every so often, history offers a story where amazing characters interact with one another so unbelievably, you know it has to be true.

This is one of them.

Napoleon Bonaparte was in a serious funk in early 1821. For five long years, the man who once ruled Europe from the Spanish plains to the steppes of Russia had been a captive of the British. They kept him permanently exiled on St. Helena, a volcanic hunk of rock in the South Atlantic some 2,500 miles from Argentina. It was as close to the End of the Earth as you could

Fatherly Knowledge A father and son went fishing one day. After a couple hours out in the boat, the boy suddenly became curious about the world around him.

He asked his father, “How does this boat float?”

The father thought for a moment, then replied, “I don’t really know, son.”

The boy returned to his contemplation, then turned back to his father, “How do fish breath underwater?”

Once again the father replied, “Don’t really know, son.”

get. Just to be on the safe side, British warships were anchored nearby.

Napoleon wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Until Nicolas Girod decided to step in.

He passionately loved everything associated with France. Born in French-speaking Savoy, he and his brothers moved to the New World and settled in (where else?) New Orleans.

Girod made lots of money in various business ventures and was well-liked. So it was no surprise when he became the Crescent City’s first popularly-elected mayor in 1812. His inauguration ceremony was conducted in French, because he refused to learn English. When someone pointed out he was the only mayor of a major U.S. city who didn’t speak English, he replied the other mayors should learn French.

And the French thing that Girod loved above all others was l’Emporeur Napoleon himself. In Girod’s eyes, the Little Corporal truly was a rock star.

Then came Waterloo, and St. Helena after that.

It was unbearable for Girod to see his hero languishing in exile. So he decided to do something about it. He would rescue Napoleon and bring him to the United States.

The idea sounds goofy now, but Girod was deadly serious. And remember, when Napoleon had surrendered in the French port of Rochefort he was trying to

It’s a Dog’s Life

By Scoop Bellune

A little later the boy asked his father, “Why is the sky blue?”

Again, the father replied.

“Don’t really know, son.”

Worried he was going to annoy his father, he said, “Dad, do you mind me asking you all of these questions?”

“Of course not son. How else are you ever going to learn anything?” replied his father.

Bottom of the Barrel A C-141 transport aircraft was preparing for departure from a base in Thule, Greenland. They had been waiting for the truck to arrive to pump out the aircraft’s sewage holding tank.

The Aircraft Commander was in a hurry, the truck was late in arriving, and the Airman performing the job was extremely slow in getting the tank pumped out.

The Aircraft Commander berated the Airman for his lack of speed and promised to pursue punitive action.

The Airman responded, “Sir, I have no stripes, it is 20 below zero, I am stationed in Thule, Greenland, and I am pumping sewage out of airplanes. Just what are you planning to do to punish me?”

Ice Cream is Good for the Soul One day, I took my children to a restaurant.

My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads, he said, “God is good. God is great.

flee to America.

With Napoleon stuck on an island, Girod would need ships to reach him. And not just any ships, either.

Since the British Navy (the world’s most powerful floating force at the time) was constantly patrolling the waters around St. Helena, the vessels had to carry serious firepower and be crewed by men who knew how to use it.

And Girod had just the guys for the job: The Barataria Bay pirates.

They sound like a sports team. But trust me, you wouldn’t have wanted to mess with those guys.

They weren’t the lovable “Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum” scamps from Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean some 100 years earlier. These were more like brutal businessmen who operated outside the law.

And they could fire their guns

Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And liberty and justice for all! Amen!”

Along with laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark, “That’s what’s wrong with this country. Kids today don’t even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!”

Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, “Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?”

As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my son and said, “I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer.”

“Really?” my son asked.

The man replied, “Cross my heart.”

Then in a theatrical whisper the gentleman added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), “Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes.”

Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared at his for a moment and then did something I will remember the rest of my life.

He picked up his sundae and without a word walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, “Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes, and my soul is already good.”

and cannons with deadly efficiency, too.

When Congress passed the Embargo Act of 1807, Americans could no longer import items from Europe. So the pirates smuggled them into Barataria Bay at the very southern tip of Louisiana, hauled them through dismal swamps and sold them for a huge profit on New Orleans’ black market.

It didn’t take them long to realize they could make even more money if they attacked commercial ships (most of them from Spain) and stole their cargo.

The top dog of this very illegal (and highly profitable) operation was a colorful character named Jean Lafitte.

He had a real knack for that line of work. While the pirates were American citizens and branded criminals by their government, they took an in-

Operator I dialed ’0’ and when a sweet voice answered, I said, “Hello, operator, I’d like to speak to the king of the jungle.”

She answered immediately, “I’m very sorry, but the lion is busy.”

Important Message Several months ago I went on a business trip to the enormous Boeing factory in Redmond, WA, where I was able to crawl on and around several 747s, 767s, and 777s airliners in various stages of assembly.

I noticed that the engines aren’t attached until the rest of the plane is pretty much assembled. To keep the airplanes from tipping while work crews are in the fuselage, enormous weights are hung from chains on the wings, dangling above the floor like bizarre Christmas ornaments. Each weight is a solid slab of steel the size of golf cart and is painted with fluorescent, reflective yellow paint.

Most interesting is the boldface label stenciled on each side of the weight: “7,800 LBS. REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT”.

Perceptive Salesman After being away on business, Tom thought it would be nice to bring his wife a little gift.

How about some per-

creasingly bigger bite out of European commerce sailing through the Gulf of Mexico.

Then came the War of 1812. The Brits tried to tempt the pirates into joining their side. But Lafitte instead turned to General Andrew Jackson and cut a deal: the pirates would help defend New Orleans from an impending attack, and then get full pardons afterward. It worked. Lafitte’s ships and men played an important role in soundly beating the British in January 1815 … and they soon received get out of jail free cards from Uncle Sam for their efforts.

Since Mayor Girod owned a lucrative shipping and mercantile business, he knew Lafitte and his pirates well. So it was only natural that he turned to them to put some muscle into his rescue plan.

Girod didn’t keep his goal a secret. In fact, he made sure everyone in New Orleans knew the grand, massive house he was building (which for many years was the city’s largest) was meant to be a haven for Napoleon once he arrived there. Final details were put in place and the mission was just about to set sail.

Then, without warning, Napoleon died on May 5, 1821.

With no former emperor to rescue, Girod’s plan fell apart. Many of Lafitte’s pirates eventually made their way to the Galveston, Texas area where loose law enforcement allowed them to resume their illegal business.

fume?” he asked the cosmetics clerk.

She showed him a bottle costing $50.00.

“That’s a bit much,” said Tom, so she returned with a smaller bottle for $30.00.

“That’s still quite a bit,” Tom groused.

Growing annoyed, the clerk brought out a tiny $15.00 bottle.

“What I mean,” said Tom, “is I’d like to see something really cheap.”

So the clerk handed him a mirror.

Multitude of Illnesses Our neighbor used the word hypochondriac to describe the phase her teen-age daughter was going though.

One day the girl was convinced that the pain on her left side was appendicitis.

Her mother explained that the appendix is on the right.

“So that’s why it hurts so much,” her daughter said.

“My appendix is on the wrong side.”

A Good Wife A wife is someone who sees lots of things that need to be done but aren’t important enough for her to do.

Nicolas Girod was a very rich man when he died in 1840. He was a very generous man, too, for he left nearly $150,000 dollars to establish homes to care for New Orleans’ needy children.

One of them was the “Colored Waifs’ Home.” In 1913, a 12-year-old boy was sent to live there after getting into minor trouble with the police. He had been exposed to music earlier and enjoyed playing the trumpet. He eventually joined the home’s band.

And so began the remarkable career of Louis Armstrong, a man known for his humanity and kind heart as well as his legendary jazz music.

Nicolas Girod never rescued the emperor he adored. (Although the elegant residence he built for him still stands today as the Napoleon House restaurant, where hungry diners have enjoyed New Orleans’ fabled food since 1914).

But in a way, he did leave a different, unintended legacy.

We’ll never know what brilliant schemes Napoleon may have hatched while on our soil. But we’ll always have the sounds of Satchmo’s gravelly voice and sweet horn, plus the memories of that warm, friendly smile, to inspire us.

“Tired of struggling with your shoulder pain and want relief today?”

Lessons/Seminars

Shoulder pain hurts, and if you have pain, you could have rotator cuff issues, a frozen shoulder, or even arthritis. Guess what? There is a new type of therapy that is helping patients with shoulder pain.

You can be PAIN FREE – even if you have the most excruciating shoulder pain right now, and you think you’ve tried everything.

Keep reading if you want to know more.

oes your shoulder pain 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!

Hi, my name is Dr. David Gooldy, D.C. and I am the clinic director here in Lexington, South Carolina.

Since we opened over 20 years ago, I’ve seen lots of people with shoulder pain; frozen shoulder and rotator cuff problems get PAIN FREE! How?

I’ve found this specialized protocol has a profound affect if you’re suffering from shoulder pain. The treatment works fast, it’s effective, and you’ll usually feel results

on the first few treatments. This amazing shoulder pain treatment is fast because it helps the damaged shoulder areas of concern.

This shoulder treatment has been tested over and over in my office and has been shown to help with people, just like you, with their damaged shoulder tissue, their inflammation, nerve and tissue pain, plus it can help boost your immune system because your tissues are not inflamed.

This means that there is a good chance this one-of-a-kind shoulder treatment could be your solution. If it is, it’ll allow you to live a more active lifestyle like you used to.

Some of my colleagues treat professional athletes like I do, and as you know, athletes get hurt on a regular basis. Because of new treatments like this one, they continue to play well, without any pain, so it does work. This treatment protocol for shoulders works because…

“It Promotes Rapid Healing And Gets Rid Of Your Pain!”
