Court-martial to wrap up today Both sides rest in sentencing trial of former Shaw vice commander

BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com Both the trial and defense counsels rested their cases during the courtmartial of Col. William R. Jones, former vice commander of the 20th Fighter Wing at Shaw Air Force Base, after a final review of evidence and the testimony of character witnesses at Shaw Air Force Base on Thursday.

Jones pleaded guilty to knowingly possessing pornographic images of minors between July 2015 and February 2016.

Finance committee members reached consensus on the matter Thursday at their regular monthly meeting, and Sumter School Board Chairman the Rev. Daryl McGhaney confirmed it after the meeting at the district office, 1345 Wilson Hall Road.

“This will give the committee more oversight of the district’s finances,” McGhaney said.

The board’s finance committee consists of three board members — McGhaney, Johnny Hilton and Lucille McQuilla — and four independent, local business owners.

Faith, traditions infuse St. Patrick’s Day in Savannah SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — There were no green beers or gaudy T-shirts when Savannah first celebrated St. Patrick’s Day, just a solemn procession of immigrants seeking to honor their Irish roots more than 3,800 miles from their homeland.

Many things have changed in the nearly two centuries since Georgia’s oldest city held its inaugural St. Patrick’s Day parade in 1824.

Now thousands of tourists from across the U.S. flock to Savannah every March 17 for a sprawling street party that may be the South’s largest celebration between Mardi Gras and Spring Break.

Still, many of Savannah’s Irish descendants maintain St. Patrick’s Day traditions that have nothing to do with beer-swilling revelry. Here are some of the (mostly) sober ways Savannah celebrates the Irish holiday that

1,000 of the Savannah’s Catholic faithful fill the pews for Mass at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.

Parishioners are typically waiting outside for the doors to open an hour before the 8 a.m. church service honoring St. Patrick, who is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. After Mass, they scramble to spots along the parade route — which passes in front of the church steps — before the procession begins.

For those who don’t want to face the crowds, the St. Patrick’s Mass also gets broadcast on TV in Savannah and is streamed live on the internet. More than 23,000 tuned in to watch last year, said Barbara King, spokeswoman for the Diocese of Savannah.

LOCAL BRIEFS FROM STAFF REPORTS

Lowe’s joins with volunteers to repair homes

SLED to help plan search for area woman

BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com

Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis asked the State Law Enforcement Division to assist in the search for 80-year-old Barbara Nave, who was reported missing Feb. 13.

“Basically, they will review what NAVE has been done so far to make sure we haven’t missed anything,” said Deputy Ken Bell, public information officer for the sheriff’s office. “It never hurts to have fresh eyes take a look.

And they will help us plan our next step.”

Bell said there is still no evidence of foul play, and the case remains a missing persons case.

Nave’s pocketbook with her vehicle keys and other personal belongings was found inside her home along with her dogs.

Nothing had been disturbed in the house.

Bell said there have been several sightings reported.

“So far, none have panned out, but we want the public to continue to let us know if they think they see Ms. Nave,” Bell said. “We want to bring closure to this family, and the public can help us do that.”

“It’s nice to help people get back of their feet,” said Max Janssen, a high school student and volunteer with World Renew from Ontario, Canada.

Janssen, along with several other young volunteers from Canada, as well as Rob and Sharon Schelling from Sioux Center, Iowa, were at the Lowe’s Home Improvement Center, 1251 Broad St. in Sumter Thursday picking up materials donated by the home improvement store.

World Renew is one of several volunteer groups, which have partnered with the United Way of Sumter, Clarendon and Lee Counties’ Long Term Recovery Group to help residents whose homes were damaged by recent disasters. The group includes local nonprofits, faithbased groups, local governments and the South Carolina Disaster Recovery Office, according to material handed out by United Way Marketing and Communication Specialist Megan Ray. World Renew is one of many out-of-state volunteer groups which have come to the Palmetto State to help residents recover from the recent series of floods and storms that have damaged people’s homes.

Harambee Luncheon set for Saturday The Mary McLeod Bethune Section of the National Council of Negro Women Inc. will sponsor its second Harambee Luncheon at 11 a.m. Saturday at South Hope Center, 1125 S. Lafayette Drive.

3 suspects arrested in deputy marshal’s death LUDOWICI, Ga. — Three suspects have been arrested in the shooting death of Deputy United States Marshal Patrick Thomas Carothers, who was shot and killed by Dontrell Montese Carter of Sumter on Nov. 18, 2016, while serving an arrest warrant.

Carter, 25, was killed when officers returned fire.

The investigation into Carothers’ murder found Ashley Chavon Roberts, Levy Lewis Jenkins and Jeremy Lance Lewis committed acts that hindered Carter’s capture.

Roberts, 24, Jenkins, 34, and Lewis, 32, have each been charged with one count of hindering apprehension or punishment of criminal (felony) and one count of felony murder in Carothers’ death.

World Renew volunteers Rob Schelling of Sioux Center, Iowa, and Canadian students Alissa and Nathaniel Brinkman load lumber donated by Lowe’s Home Improvement Center into the back of a truck Thursday at the store in Sumter.

The student volunteers said they have been doing volunteer work in South Carolina before and have been impressed by the culture in the Palmetto State.

“You see on TV all the destruction from the hurricane and you come and see people who are happy and content, while we complain about the problems we have,” Janssen said.

Joseph Davies, who is the Long Term Recovery Group coordinator, said the partnership between the local

Lowe’s and United Way developed from conversations he had with Lowe’s Assistant Store Manager Patrick Flaherty.

“I spoke with Patrick a little bit, and the partnership just grew,” Davies said.

Flaherty said Lowe’s is dedicated to helping support local communities.

“We were talking about some of the needs they have and about some of the things Lowe’s does,” Flaherty said.

He said Lowe’s encourages its employees to get involved

in community service programs.

“Lowe’s pays each of its employees for eight hours of community service work,” Flaherty said.

Ray said the volunteers were at the store receiving cabinets, lumber and supplies from Lowe’s.

“Lowe’s is giving us cabinets that are valued at $800 and giving us what we are buying for free today,” she said.

Ray said by the end of the week more than 200 volunteers from the U.S., Canada and Shaw Air Force Base will have completed repairs on 72 homes.

Megan said the repairs might be air conditioning, a new roof or a complete rebuild.

Davies said the Long Term Recovery Group has logged in more than 5,300 volunteer hours in Sumter, Clarendon and Lee counties.

Along with the cabinets, the volunteers are picking up lumber intended for a deck on a mobile home.

Ray said there are many homes that still need repairs and collecting enough money and materials to cover those in need is a challenge.

Mayesville receives $150K to establish art gallery FROM STAFF REPORTS South Carolina state Sen. Kevin Johnson, D-Manning, presented a check for $150,000 to Mayesville Mayor Jereleen Hollimon-Miller and members of the Mayesville Town Council at a meeting of the council on Tuesday. The funding was requested by Johnson from the S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism more than a year ago, he said.

The senator said he originally thought the grant was for $100,000.

“I didn’t open the envelope so I

didn’t find out till later it was for $150,000,” he said.

The grants from the state agency are intended to “help communities plan and develop recreational opportunities for local residents,” according to the agency’s website at www.scprt.com.

Holliman-Miller said the funding will be used to establish an art gallery at the Mary McLeod Bethune Learning Center in Mayesville.

The center is named for a nationally known educator, activist Mary McLeod Bethune (1875-1955), who was born near Mayesville.

Judge announces sentences for 6 local drug traffickers FROM STAFF REPORTS COLUMBIA — U.S Attorney Beth Drake announced Wednesday that six area drug traffickers who pleaded guilty were sentenced Tuesday and Wednesday.

Shan Hill, 36, of Sumter; Tywon Blackwell, 35, of Alcolu; George “Tech” McDowell, 45, of Sumter; Shawn Green, 38, of Sumter; Quanta Lewis, 23, of Sumter; and Keenan McDowell-Gregg, 22, of Sumter were sentenced in federal court in Columbia for conspiracy to possession with intent to distribute and distribution of cocaine and/or cocaine base in violation of

Title 21, United States Code, Sections 841(a)(1) and 846.

Chief U.S District Judge Terry L. Wooten of Columbia sentenced the defendants to the following terms of imprisonment and supervised release: • Hill: 56 months of imprisonment followed by six years of supervised release; • Blackwell: 192 months of imprisonment followed by four years of supervised release; • McDowell: 130 months of imprisonment followed by five years of supervised release; • Green: 188 months of imprisonment followed by four

years of supervised release; • Lewis: 60 months of imprisonment followed by five years of supervised release; and • McDowell-Gregg: 32 months of imprisonment followed by four years of supervised release.

Evidence presented at each defendant’s guilty plea and sentencing hearing established that the defendants were members of a cocaine and crack cocaine trafficking conspiracy operating in Sumter from 2013 through the summer of 2015. The six defendants were charged along with more than 50 others in connection with the investi-

gation into armed drug trafficking in Sumter. The case was based largely on evidence obtained via court-authorized wiretaps that ran from late 2014 through the summer of 2015. Evidence presented at plea and sentencing hearings showed that the listed defendants dealt in quantities that ranged from multi-kilograms of cocaine down to street-level crack sale quantities.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Sumter Police Department investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney JD Rowell of the Columbia office prosecuted the case.

Gorsuch vision on scope of Under construction 2nd Amendment a mystery

BY HOLBROOK MOHR Associated Press Despite strong endorsements from some gun rights advocates, Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch has a slim appeals court record on the subject — a record that leaves his views a mystery on how far constitutional fireGORSUCH arms rights extend.

The National Rifle Association notes favorably a 2012 case in which Gorsuch wrote for the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that “the Supreme Court has held the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to own firearms and may not be infringed lightly.”

Taken with his conservative leanings, originalist views on interpreting the Constitution and comparisons to the late Justice Antonin Scalia, that leads many gun owners to believe Gorsuch would protect their interests.

“He has an impressive record that demonstrates his support for the Second Amendment,” Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, said in a statement endorsing the nominee.

However, he has not ruled on major Second Amendment cases.

“We don’t know, for instance, if he believes people have a right to carry guns in public. We don’t know what he thinks about restrictions on assault weapons or high-capacity magazines,” said Adam Winkler, a law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, and author of “Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America.”

The case cited by the NRA involved a man who appealed his conviction of being a felon in possession of a gun, saying he didn’t know he was considered a felon due to a misunderstanding over his deferred prosecution in a previous robbery case.

Although he had signed documents indicating he would be considered guilty of a felony, the state judge told him, among other things, “If I accept your plea today, hopefully you will leave this courtroom not convicted of a felony and instead granted the privilege of a deferred judgment, which means you will be supervised by the Department of Probation for a period of two years.”

Miguel Games-Perez was arrested less than a year later with a pistol that had an obliterated serial number.

Gorsuch was on a threejudge panel that found the government had only to prove that Games-Perez knew he had a gun, not that he knew he was prohibited from having one.

Gorsuch said the panel was bound by precedent.

“Our duty to follow precedent sometimes requires us to make mistakes. Unfortunately, this is that sort of case,” Gorsuch wrote.

Games-Perez later asked the full appeals court to hear the case, a request that was denied in a 6-4 decision. Gorsuch dissented, saying the full court could reconsider its precedent. He wrote that due to the “repeated misstatements from

the court itself, Mr. GamesPerez surely has a triable claim he didn’t know his state court deferred judgment amounted to a felony conviction.”

Some groups favoring more stringent gun laws refer to the same case when arguing that Gorsuch is unfit for the Supreme Court.

“Judge Gorsuch’s views are so outside the mainstream that he has gone out of his way to side with felons over public safety,” Peter Ambler, executive director of Americans for Responsible Solutions, said in a statement opposing Gorsuch’s nomination.

Trump unveils $1.15T budget WASHINGTON (AP) — President Trump unveiled a $1.15 trillion budget Thursday, proposing a far-reaching overhaul of federal spending that would slash many domestic programs to finance a big increase for the military and make a down payment on a U.S.-Mexico border wall.

Trump’s plan seeks to upend Washington with cuts to long-promised campaign targets like foreign aid and the Environmental Protection Agency as well as strong congressional favorites such as medical research, help for homeless veterans and community development grants.

“A budget that puts America first must make the safety of our people its number one priority — because without safety, there can be no prosperity,” Trump said in a message accompanying his proposed budget that was titled “America First: A Budget Blueprint to Make America Great Again.”

The $54 billion boost for the military is the largest since President Reagan’s Pentagon buildup in the 1980s, promising immediate money for troop readiness, the fight against Islamic State militants and procurement of new ships, fighter jets and other weapons. The 10 percent Pentagon boost is financed by $54 billion in cuts to foreign aid and domestic agencies that had been protected by former President Obama.

The budget goes after the frequent targets of the party’s staunchest conservatives, eliminating the National Endowment for the Arts, legal aid for the poor, low-income heating assistance and the AmeriCorps national service program established by former President Clinton.

Such programs were the focus of lengthy battles dating to the GOP take-

Statue of justice who affirmed slavery will be removed FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — A statue of the U.S. Supreme Court justice who wrote the 1857 Dred Scott decision affirming slavery will be removed from a City Hall courtyard in Maryland this weekend.

Frederick officials announced Thursday that busts of Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney and a bust of Maryland’s first governor and slave owner Thomas Johnson will be moved Saturday. Both will go to Mount Olivet Cemetery, where Johnson is buried.

The Taney statue was erected in 1931. He practiced law in Frederick before becoming the nation’s fifth chief justice.

The Historic Preservation Commission approved moving the statues. The busts will be restored before they’re placed on cemetery grounds.

over of Congress in 1995 and have survived prior attempts to eliminate them.

Lawmakers will have the final say on Trump’s proposal in the arduous budget process, and many of the cuts will be deemed dead on arrival. White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney acknowledged to reporters that passing the cuts could be an uphill struggle and said the administration would negotiate over replacement cuts.

Mulvaney also went after GOP favorites, including aid to rural schools and health research, while eliminating subsidies for rural air service and the federal flood insurance program that’s a linchpin for the real estate market, especially in coastal southern states and the Northeast.

Trump’s GOP allies on Capitol Hill gave it only grudging praise, if any.

“Congress has the power of the purse,” reminded House Appropriations Committee Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen, R-N.J. “I look forward to reviewing this,” said House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis. “This is not a take-it-or-leave-it budget,” Mulvaney admitted.

Law enforcement agencies like the FBI would be spared, while the border wall would receive an immediate $1.4 billion infusion in the ongoing fiscal year, with another $2.6 billion planned for the 2018 budget year starting Oct. 1.

Twelve of the government’s 15 Cabinet agencies would absorb cuts under the president’s proposal. The biggest losers are Agriculture, Labor, State, and the Cabinet-level EPA. The Defense Department, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Veterans Affairs are the winners.

More than 3,000 EPA workers would

3 vying to be leader of S.C. Democratic Party

lose their jobs and programs such as Obama’s Clean Power Plan, which would tighten regulations on emissions from power plants seen as contributing to global warming, would be eliminated. Popular EPA grants for state and local drinking and wastewater projects would be preserved, however, even as research into climate change would be eliminated.

Trump’s proposal covers only roughly one-fourth of the approximately $4 trillion federal budget, the discretionary portion that Congress passes each year. It doesn’t address taxes, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, or make predictions about deficits and the economy. Those big-picture details are due in mid-May. Trump has vowed not to cut Social Security and Medicare and is dead set against raising taxes.

Canine shelter takes on Tehran stray dog problem humanely

BY AMIR VAHDAT The Associated Press TEHRAN, Iran — On a cold winter morning in the Iranian capital recently, a homeless dog lay basking in the sun’s rays for warmth. Suddenly, the canine moaned — it had been shot with an anesthetic dart from a blowpipe. It ran several steps, then fell immobilized.

The cream-and-gray dog was collected by a worker for a new shelter where it will be given a medical check, neutered and microchipped — the first such initiative in this country where usually strays in the street are killed.

The Aradkouh Stray Dogs Shelter has been hired by the Tehran city government to take a new, more humane approach to deal with the burgeoning problem of stray dogs in the capital. It’s a sign of changing attitudes among officials in a country where Islamic authorities have long seen dogs as “un-Islamic” and at times still confiscate them from people who have dogs as pets and walk them in public or drive with them in their cars.

Although there are no official numbers, in some Tehran neighborhoods — especially in poorer districts — strays are rampant and a nuisance, and the shelter captures 30 to 40 dogs per day. District 18, for example, a poor neighborhood in Tehran’s southwest known for its farmland, brick furnace towers, junkyards and factories, has many stray dogs.

“This area has a countless number of dogs, and sometimes they pass by in hordes,” said Einollah Ardalanisaid, a garage owner in southern Tehran who hailed the initiative that began less than a year ago. “I think it is great if these dogs can be collected in a managed way so that neither the dogs nor the citizens are harmed.”

The shelter, near the small town of Kahrizak, caters to the captured dogs’ needs, including feeding them and examining them for disease. Shelter workers vaccinate the dogs and sterilize them to control the stray population. After about two weeks, the dogs are microchipped and registered in a data bank so they can be tracked down later. The facility is equipped with surgery rooms, sonography machines and a kitchen.

On a recent day, there were 500 mature dogs and 145 puppies being looked after by the shelter’s staff. All the dogs are available for adoption.

Urban animal control vehicles set off in the mornings to hunt for strays, their destination determined by reports from residents or places where the population of the animals is conspicuously large. The staff’s hunting tools are blowpipes or guns armed with dart syringes filled with anesthetic drugs.

The workers are trained to try to catch the animals as gently as possible and are advised not to use force.

In Islam, dogs are seen as unclean. However, police dogs, shepherd dogs and rescue dogs are common, and there have been no reports of clerical backlash against the shelter’s operations.

Before the shelter’s arrival, the preferred method of dealing with stray animals was to shoot them dead.

In one horrific case in 2015, dogs were injected with a deadly substance, presumably acid.

Videos were published on social media showing dogs dying while moaning in agony. The videos quickly went viral, sparking widespread outrage and prompting protests by animal rights activists and celebrities.

An animal activist who filmed the dog killings in the city of Shiraz in central Iran claimed that private contractors were paid about $4 for each dog they killed. Local authorities denied having any role in the incident.

Since the advent of the shelter, municipal authorities claim that not a single dog is killed inhumanely and that the animals are being treated in a

far more civil manner.

Hassan Heidari, director of Tehran’s Urban Animal Control Department, said that killing dogs or any other animals is against Islamic teachings and animal rights.

“From a moral and Islamic point of view, we are not allowed to treat these animals violently,” he said. “Observance of animal rights was another motive that made us stop killing dogs.”

“We are now catching them alive despite its costs and troubles,” he added. “Today, with God’s grace, we have accomplished a very useful and pleasant achievement.”

After shooting the dogs with

the darts, the animals are placed in the air-conditioned rear compartments of the dogcatcher vehicles.

Upon arrival at the shelter, after being fed and checked for illness, some dogs are neutered or treated with medicine in the facility’s clinic and can spend 15 to 45 days there recovering.

The dogs are then given to animal supporters who adopt them, or the dogs are released into the wild.

Dogs that are not adopted receive a collar and a microchip that contains the dog’s full history.

“We make arrangements to give (adopters) a registered dog

with an ID,” he said. “If there is no adopter, we will release the sterilized dog at the same spot where we took them.”

SCIENCE Call: (803) 774-1226 |

Mammals shrink when Earth heats up, study says WASHINGTON (AP) — Global warming shrank certain animals in the ancient past, and scientists worry it could happen again.

Warm-blooded animals got smaller at least twice in Earth’s history when carbon dioxide levels soared and temperatures spiked as part of a natural warming, a new study says.

University of New Hampshire researcher Abigail D’Ambrosia warned that mammals — but not people — could shrivel in the future under even faster man-made warming.

“It’s something we need to keep an eye out for,” said D’Ambrosia, who led the new work. “The question is how fast are we going to see these changes.”

Three different species shrank noticeably about 54 million years ago when the planet suddenly heated up.

One of them — an early, compact horse — got 14 percent smaller, going from about 17 pounds to 14.6 pounds according to an analysis of fossil teeth in Wednesday’s journal Science Advances.

“These guys were probably about the size of maybe a dog, then they dwarfed,” said D’Ambrosia. “They may have gone down to the size of a cat.”

Another creature that contracted was a lemur-like animal that’s the earliest known primate. It shrank about 4 percent; while it may not seem like much, it’s noticeable because studies of the animal over millions of years showed it was usually getting bigger over time, D’Ambrosia said.

Previous studies have documented a similar shrinking of mammals, including another early horse ancestor, during an earlier warming about 56 million years ago. Scientists

of the study. “If we start to see patterns repeat themselves, we can learn from that. And what we learn from these lessons will certainly be important as we think about the possible response of plants and animals to future climate change.”

Both D’Ambrosia’s study and that of the earlier warming are based on fossils recovered from the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming. D’Ambrosia said it’s unlikely that the shrinking only happened there.

In hotter climates, mammals and other warm-blooded animals need to shed heat so they shrink.

Smaller animals have more skin — or fur — per pound than bigger animals so more heat can escape, making them better adapted for warmer climate. Larger animals do better in the cold because they have less skin per pound and keep their heat.

In this artist rendering provided by the Florida Museum of Natural History, the illustration shows a comparison of Sifrhippus sandrae, right, with a modern Morgan horse that stands 5 feet tall at the shoulder and weighs 1,000 pounds. Global warming often leads to global shrinking for mammals, similar to us, a new study suggests. and farmers have also long tracked animals, such as cows, that shrink and give less milk during hotter stretches.

This latest work shows heating and shrinking are connected over millions of years.

“These results are very sig-

nificant because they provide another independent test of whether climate drives changes in body size in mammals,” said Jonathan Bloch, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Florida Museum of Natural History, who wasn’t part

Alaska residents told to give grumpy moose space

BY DAN JOLING Associated Press ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Alaska wildlife officials warned people to keep their distance from grumpy moose after two close calls this past weekend.

One of the animals walked up behind a woman tending chickens in the city of Homer on Sunday and started eating chicken food from a bucket she carried.

When she turned, the startled moose kicked her.

“It pulled its nose out of the bucket, looked at her, reared back and kicked her right in the noggin’,” said Jason Herreman, assistant area biologist for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

Another agitated moose twice charged skiers in a lift line Saturday at Alyeska Resort, a downhill ski venue in the resort town of Girdwood, said Ken Marsh, spokesman for Fish and Game.

No one was hurt, but authorities advised resort officials to shoot and kill the animal Sunday to remove the threat to skiers.

“Not all moose are looking for a fight right now, but they do tend to get a little cranky this time of year,” Marsh said.

In summer, moose eat lush leaves but turn to twigs and other woody material in winter, which are not as

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A bull moose whose antlers recently dropped walks toward hikers near Connors Bog in Anchorage, Alaska, on March 6. Confrontations between moose and Alaska residents are leading wildlife officials to warn people to give the animals some distance. The department says moose are nutritionally stressed and probably tired from a long winter. nutritious, biologists said. The animals are tired and ready for spring, Marsh said.

Most Alaska residents know bet-

ter than to get near a moose in mating season or between a moose mother and a new calf, but they generally regard the animals as doc-

ile. Moose are a common sight along roads and even streets of Anchorage, the state’s largest city.

At the ski resort, the moose was positioned at a blind corner. Skiers had to pass the animal to get to the lift line.

As more skiers appeared, the moose became increasingly agitated and charged people twice.

“It sort of ended up resembling the running of the bulls in Pamplona,” Marsh said.

Feeding moose can trigger attacks, and the woman who was kicked in the head unintentionally was doing just that, Herreman said.

She had been allowing her chickens to roam and would periodically throw them feed, not knowing that a moose born last year had been chasing the chickens off to eat the feed, he said.

The young moose defended itself as it would against a wolf: “They rear up on their back legs a little bit and then kick out with their front ones,” Herreman said.

The woman had a welt on her head afterward. A blow to the head from a large cow could have been fatal, he said.

Adult moose range from 800pound small cows to 1,600-pound large adult bulls.

“Now she’s keeping her chickens in the coop and feeding them in the coop,” Herreman said.

Sled dogs pull tourists’ MAGNETIC FLOOR SWEEPERS stuck SUV from snow 36” $ Also Available 89.00 in 24” 24”

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — Nine Alaska sled dogs mushing near a scenic river helped tourists with an SUV that was stuck in the snow, managing to pull it free last weekend.

Musher Neil Eklund and his son were returning from a dogsled tour on the Chena River near Fairbanks on Sunday when they came upon the stranded people with their vehicle. Eklund said he had never pulled a car out of the snow with his dogs before, but they had plenty of power to free the SUV and send the

tourists on their way.

“We all tugged and pushed,” he said. “The dogs had a lot of fun with it. When you have them all synced in unison, they can really pull. At least it’s a good story for them to tell when they go back home.”

Eklund participated in the famed Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 1981 and 1983.

The tourists with the SUV were taking a risk by driving to the Chena River area, he said.

Cars that have traveled on top of its frozen surface in recent years have fallen through, he said.

Will GOP blow it on health reform?

I

n “The Republican ObamaCare Choke,” The Wall Street Journal’s Dan Henninger asks, “If they blow health-care reform, why would anyone vote Republican again?”

Less than three months into full control of government and the chance to reshape the American system for a generation, Republicans are doing something no one thought possible: They are reinventing the circular firing squad.

Even a politician of such limitless cynicism as Chuck Schumer is agog: “We are on offense and united. They are on defense and divided, the opposite of what people would have predicted a month or two ago.”

Maybe in politics, genes really are destiny. Under pressure from a CBO “score,” the genetic disposition of Republican politicians is to go wobbly.

The disposition of movement conservatives is to get out the long knives and start carving up other conservatives.

The result will be guaranteed political defeat for years if congressional Republicans choke at the chance to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

The Beltway bubble has never looked so big or real as now, to wit: The Trump-RyanPrice health-care reform bill is too tough on Medicaid. Or it isn’t tough enough. It will break the Trump entitlement bond with the middle class.

We want the 2015 repeal-only bill. Let ObamaCare collapse.

What’s the rush? We can do this reform some other time.

The American people didn’t endure and survive the 2016 presidential election for this.

The public that voted Donald Trump into the White House will drive Republicans into a deserved wilderness if they go back on the only promise anyone can remember them making the past six years.

••• In “Why I’m Moving Home,” “Hillbilly Elegy” author J.D. Vance writes, “I’ve heard ugly words uttered about “flyover country” and some of its inhabitants from well-educated, generally well-meaning people.”

I’ve long worried whether I’ve become a part of this problem. For two years, I’d lived in Silicon Valley, surrounded by other highly educated transplants with seemingly perfect lives. It’s jarring to live in a world where every person feels his life will only get better when you came from a world where many rightfully believe that things have become worse. And I’ve suspected that this optimism blinds many in Silicon Valley to the real struggles in other parts of the country. So I decided to move home, to Ohio.

It wasn’t an easy choice. I scaled back my commitments to a job I love because of the relocation. My wife and I worry about the quality of local public schools, and whether she (a San Diego native) could stand the unpredictable weather.

But there were practical reasons to move: I’m founding an organization to combat Ohio’s opioid epidemic. We chose Columbus because I travel a lot, and I need to be centrally located in the state

and close to an airport. And the truth is that not every motivation is rational: Part of me loves Ohio simply because it’s home.

••• The Washington Post reports that billionaire entrepreneur “Mark Cuban remains coy on 2020: ‘Sometimes you got to do what you got to do.’

Mark Cuban came to Washington on Wednesday. Not for politics, at least not outwardly.

His presence here was merely to support the basketball team he owns, sitting courtside as his Dallas Mavericks beat the Washington Wizards, 112-107.

The victory came at Verizon Center, just a few blocks from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., an address some believe Cuban covets as a future residence. But if this was the first stage of a “Cuban Takes Washington” move, the tech mogul was playing it coy.

“None. None,” he told The Washington Post when asked if he was interested in running for president. “But at the same time, sometimes you got to do what you got to do.”

Okay then. Anything else, Mark?

“I’m not the ceremonial type. I’m a go-get-[stuff] done type. I’m a grinder, and I don’t know if that’s a good fit.”

So, that’s a no, with something of a caveat — that the current occupant of the Oval Office could make him reconsider. A Donald Trump presidency was why he took to the stump last summer for Hillary Clinton in the first place.

“I knew Donald and I was concerned,” Cuban said.

His time on the stump made him realize that the electorate was not looking for another politician. He said voters were looking for an outsider who accurately voiced certain frustrations. Clinton didn’t always tap into that, he said.

••• From “There Really Was A Liberal Media Bubble” by Nate Silver, FiveThirtyEight.com, March 10: Political experts aren’t a very diverse group and tend to place a lot of faith in the opinions of other experts and other members of the political establishment. Once a consensus view is established, it tends to reinforce itself until and unless there’s very compelling evidence for the contrary position. Social media, especially Twitter, can amplify the groupthink further. . . .

Journalists should recalibrate themselves to be more skeptical of the consensus of their peers.

That’s because a position that seems to have deep backing from the evidence may really just be a reflection from the echo chamber. You should be looking toward how much evidence there is for a particular position as opposed to how many people hold that position: Having 20 independent pieces of evidence that mostly point in the same direction might indeed reflect a powerful consensus, while having 20 like-minded people citing the same warmedover evidence is much less powerful.

COMMENTARY

The real world of Obamacare repeal

W

ASHINGTON — The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, but for governments it’s not that easy. Once something is given — say, health insurance coverage to 20 million Americans — you take it away at your peril.

This is true for any government benefit, but especially for health care. There’s a reason not one Western democracy with some system of national health care has ever abolished it.

The genius of the left is to keep enlarging the entitlement state by creating new giveaways that are politically impossible to repeal. For 20 years, Republicans railed against the New Deal. Yet, when they came back into office in 1953, Eisenhower didn’t just keep Social Security, he expanded it.

People hated Obamacare for its highhandedness, incompetence and cost. At the same time, its crafters took great care to create new beneficiaries and new expectations. Which makes repeal very complicated.

The Congressional Budget Office projects that, under Paul Ryan’s Obamacare replacement bill, 24 million will lose insurance within 10 years, 14 million after the first year.

Granted, the number is highly suspect. CBO projects 18 million covered by the Obamacare exchanges in 2018. But the number today is about 10 million. That means the CBO estimate of those losing coverage is already about 8 million too high.

Nonetheless, there will be losers. And their stories will be plastered wall to wall across the media as sure as night follows day.

That scares GOP moderates. And yet the main resistance to Ryan comes from conservative members complaining that the bill is not ideologically pure enough.

They mock it as Obamacare Lite.

For example, Ryan wants to ease the pain by phasing out Charles Medicaid Krauthammer expansion through 2020. The conservative Republican Study Committee wants it done next year. This is crazy.

For the sake of two years’ savings, why would you risk a political crash landing?

Moreover, the idea that you can eradicate Obamacare root and branch is fanciful.

For all its catastrophic flaws, Obamacare changed expectations. Does any Republican propose returning to a time when you can be denied health insurance because of a pre-existing condition?

It’s not just Donald Trump who ran on retaining this new, yes, entitlement. Everyone did. But it’s very problematic. If people know that they can sign up for insurance after they get sick, the very idea of insurance is undermined. People won’t sign up when healthy and the insurance companies will go broke.

So what do you do? Obamacare imposed a monetary fine if you didn’t sign up, for which the Ryan bill substitutes another mechanism, less heavy-handed but still government-mandated.

The purists who insist upon entirely escaping the heavy hand of government are dreaming. The best you can hope for is to make it less intrusive and more rational, as in the Ryan plan’s block-granting Medicaid.

Or instituting a more realistic age-rating system. Sixtyyear-olds use six times as much health care as 20-yearolds, yet Obamacare decreed, entirely arbitrarily, that the former could be charged in-

WRITER RESPONDS TO ATTACK ON HIS PREVIOUS LETTER TO THE EDITOR In her most recent letter titled “You won’t die if you change your mind” and posted March 14, Ms. Jacqueline K. Hughes employs approximately 240 words to mostly attack me the messenger instead of my message which appeared in my own recent letter which you published on March 10.

She closely follows our President’s playbook where he repeatedly chooses to aggressively attack and demean the source of any criticism instead of trying to honestly refute the actual criticism itself. And she admits to having waited for the opportunity to do so for sometime.

The overall message of my letter stating that our President is his own worse enemy is widely shared across the political spec-

surance premiums no more than three times that of the latter. The GOP bill changes the ratio from 3-to-1 to 5-to-1.

Premiums better reflecting risk constitute a major restoration of rationality. (It’s how life insurance works.)

Under Obamacare, the young were unwilling to be swindled and refused to sign up. Without their support, the whole system is thus headed into a death spiral of looming insolvency.

Rationality, however, has a price. The CBO has already predicted a massive increase in premiums for 60-year-olds.

That’s the headline.

There is no free lunch.

GOP hard-liners must accept that Americans have become accustomed to some new health care benefits, just as moderates have to brace themselves for stories about the inevitable losers in any reform. That’s the political price for fulfilling the sevenyear promise of repealing and replacing Obamacare.

Unless, of course, you go the full Machiavelli and throw it all back on the Democrats. How? Republicans could forget about meeting the arcane requirements of “reconciliation” legislation (which requires only 51 votes in the Senate) and send the Senate a replacement bill loaded up with everything conservative — including tort reform and insurance competition across state lines. That would require 60 Senate votes. Let the Democrats filibuster it to death — and take the blame when repeal-andreplace fails, Obamacare carries on and then collapses under its own weight.

Upside: You reap the backlash. Downside: You have to live with your conscience.

trum and skillfully illustrated by Robert Ariail’s fine cartoon appearing in Tuesday’s opinion section of The Sumter Item.

Given Ms. Hughes’ good work with the VFW along with her strong support for our law enforcement and other good causes around town, it was unfortunate that she chose to travel the low and muddy dirt road of personal attack instead of the higher road toward honestly critiquing my actual message. Mules and cows have kicked me harder so I’ve experienced much worse.

Hopefully our President will change and grow but his attacks and untruths so far have inflicted lasting damage on his presidency along with casting doubt on many of our institutions including our electoral system and free press; both of which are vital to a democracy.

Heroes and villains, real and imagined

BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH After putting a stake through the heart of "The Vampire Diaries," the CW trots out its spin-off "The Originals" (8 p.m., CW, TV-14) for a fourth season. Tonight: five years after Klaus' defeat, Marcel faces resistance from newcomers.

One of the reasons "The Originals" endures is because its tale of vampire mythology and rival armies of darkness meshes well with the network's emphasis on comic book superheroes.

While the CW is dominated

by DC comics fare, Netflix launches yet another series based on a rival comic book line. "Marvel's Iron Fist" begins streaming today. Finn Jones stars as tycoon Danny Rand, who returns to his native New York City to take on bad guys with his martial arts prowess.

With so much attention paid to fictional crime fighters, ABC News turns its attention to the enduring interest in a crime from 48 years ago. "Truth and Lies: The Family Manson" (9 p.m.) devotes two hours to the Californian's cultlike followers and their role in a gruesome 1969 mass murder in a posh home in Los Angeles. Victims included actress Sharon Tate ("Valley of the Dolls"), the pregnant wife of director Roman Polanski. "Family Manson" includes interviews with two of his followers, Leslie Van Houten and Patricia Krenwinkel.

St. Patrick's Day means a celebration of all things Irish and a chance to catch some of the series and movies — good, bad and atrocious — featuring Hibernian themes.

TCM dedicates its entire day to such movies, from the 1950 musical "The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady" (7:45 a.m.) to the lush 1970 David Lean epic "Ryan's Daughter" (1:45 a.m., early Saturday), starring Robert Mitchum and Sarah Miles. For years, the west coast of Ireland was marketed to tourists as "'Ryan's Daughter' Country." And it's easy to see why.

It's just not St. Patrick's Day if someone's not airing "The Informer" (6:15 p.m.) or "The Quiet Man" (9:30 p.m.). So,

dy "Animals" (11:30 p.m., HBO, TV-MA).

CULT CHOICE Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Oliver Reed and Derek Jacobi star in "Gladiator" (7 p.m., AMC, TV-14), director Ridley Scott's 2000 meditation on the intersection of spectacle and politics.

SERIES NOTES Eve's boyfriend lets her down on "Last Man Standing" (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG) ... Pat wants a promotion on "Dr. Ken" (8:30 p.m., ABC, TV-PG) ..."Dateline" (9 p.m., NBC) ...

Darnley faces a test of loyalty on "Reign" (9 p.m., CW, TV-14).

LATE NIGHT

ANNETTE BROWN / THE CW

Christina Moses, left, stars as Keelin on “The Originals” airing at 8 tonight on The CW. In tonight’s episode, it’s the fifth anniversary of Klaus’ (Joseph Morgan) defeat, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) is king of the city and welcomes the un-sired vampires to New Orleans, only to find they pose an unexpected threat to his rule, leading him to seek counsel from an unlikely source.

I'm glad TCM comes through.

Fans who prefer the lurid to the usual lilting Irish laughter might enjoy Syfy's marathon of "Leprechaun" movies. The tiny feet kick off with the similar yet franchise-unaffiliated 2012 shocker "Leprechaun's Revenge" (7 a.m., TV-14) and run until "Leprechaun 3" (9 p.m.).

These Emerald Isle atrocities include the 2000 "urban" variation "Leprechaun in the Hood" (1 p.m.) and the original 1993 "Leprechaun" (5 p.m.), the movie that launched a franchise and starred a young Jennifer Aniston before she became Rachel on "Friends."

Looking for contemporary Irish fare? Acorn begins streaming the legal drama "Striking Out" about a Dublinbased lawyer, Tara Rafferty (Amy Huberman), who thinks she has her life figured out until she finds her fiance in a compromising position.

Shocked out of her wedding plans as well as her job, Tara embarks on an unorthodox legal practice. This four-epi-

sode series is Ireland's most popular new drama.

TONIGHT'S OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • Wichita State and Dayton meet in the 2017 NCAA Basketball Tournament (7 p.m., CBS), followed by Northern Kentucky vs. Kentucky (9:30 p.m.).

• Eve explores the vision in the looking glass on "Grimm" (8 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

• Mummy dearest on "Rosewood" (8 p.m., Fox, r, TV-14).

• A stranger to the vault poses questions on "Sleepy Hollow" (9 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

• Bugs, birds and rodents grumble about life in the big city in the second season premiere of the animated come-

Note: Colbert and Corden are subject to delay due to basketball ... Uma Thurman, Jason Jones and Alison Krauss are booked on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" (12:35 a.m., CBS, r) ...

Jimmy Fallon welcomes Taraji P. Henson, Pitbull and Run the Jewels on "The Tonight Show" (11:35 p.m., NBC) ...

Tom Hiddleston, Gillian Jacobs and Sam Jay appear on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" (11:35 p.m., ABC, r)... Robert De Niro, Lauren Ash, Asa Butterfield and Kenny Aronoff visit "Late Night With Seth Meyers" (12:35 a.m., NBC, r) ...

Celebrities are dying to be profiled on Reelz

BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH When you've got a niche, scratch it! The proliferation of cable channels has created a situation where some networks have to specialize. And some are more special than others.

While the ID network has cornered the market on truecrime docuseries, Reelz has dedicated itself to celebrity death, near-death and general morbidity. The title of its ongoing series, "Autopsy, The Final Hours of ..." sort of sums things up. On Saturday, it surveys the last moments of Beach Boy Dennis Wilson (8 p.m., TV-14) and screen legend Steve McQueen (10 p.m., r), who died at 39 and 50, respectively.

ID's new series "Collision Course" (9 p.m., Saturday, TVPG) concentrates on car, motorcycle and airplane mishaps involving celebrities. Many of them are fatal. The series commences with a glance at actor Paul Walker's fatal ride in a high-performance race car.

"Collision" will use news footage, interviews and reenactments to revisit well-known accidents. Additional installments will look at Tracy Morgan's near-fatal collision, John Denver's last flight and pop star Justin Bieber's terrifying driving habits.

• Darker than the usual Lifetime fare, "Mommy's Little Boy" (8 p.m., Saturday, TV-14) stars Peter DaCunha as Eric Wilson.

Poor Eric undergoes more than a series of unfortunate events, from the mysterious drowning of his older brother and tormentor to the homicidal rage of his alcoholic mother.

• The Travel Channel celebrates St. Patrick's Day a day late. It has hired Irish comedian Kevin McGahern to host "Weird America" (2 p.m., Saturday), a glance at some of the oddities to be found in the 50 states.

First up is New Jersey, where the Clinton Station Diner serves a 50-pound hamburger. McGahern also celebrates a parade famous for having only one marcher. The state is also home to Weird N.J. magazine, which has been chronicling the peculiarities of the Garden State since 1989.

• Turner Classic Movies has cleared its schedule of movies to dedicate the weekend to a salute to its longtime host Rob-

ert Osborne, who died March 6. Two solid days of Osborne interviews include "Private Screenings: Debbie Reynolds" (9:30 p.m., Saturday), Ernest Borgnine (3 p.m., Sunday) and "Robert Osborne's 20th Anniversary Tribute" (11 p.m., Sunday).

One of my favorites is his "Private Screenings: Betty Hutton" (10:30 p.m., Saturday), during which the urbane Osbourne tries to focus on the manic musical comedy star's classic performances in "Annie Get Your Gun" and "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek" while Hutton insists on talking about her several breakdowns, estrangement from Hollywood's image-making machine and a religious rebirth she credits with saving her life and soul.

It's a great example of a celebrity interview careening off the beaten path. Osborne remains a gracious and generous host throughout.

• The highly stylized martial arts drama "Into the Badlands" (10 p.m., Sunday, AMC, TV-14) enters its second season.

Sunny (Daniel Wu) and his protege, M.K. (Aramis Knight), have been separated and consigned to separate fates. Young M.K. works on his skills, while Sunny will do anything to reunite with his family in this dark dystopian future dominated by feudal barons who live in opulent McMansions while the vast majority of mere mortals toil in corporate poppy fields.

As in many fantasies of this sort, the future has arrived without the existence of modern guns and armaments, putting the emphasis on balletic violence and swordplay. Help yourself.

• No one, it seems, can leave the 2016 election behind. "The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth" (8 p.m., Sunday, Showtime, TV-14) followed

the race from the early primaries through its upset conclusion. Now "The Circus" returns to chronicle the new president's first 100 days in office.

"The Circus" isn't the only show capitalizing on the hunger for political news, satire, parody and spin. "Saturday Night Live" has seen some of its biggest audiences in years, a fact largely attributed to its political focus. "SNL" will branch into a weeknight prime-time "Weekend Update" series, starting in August. The political season never seems to end.

SATURDAY'S HIGHLIGHTS • The USA Network has a Harmon-ic convergance with NCAA basketball, celebrating "Mark Madness," a "NCIS" (9 a.m. to 11 p.m.) marathon with an accent on Gibbs, played by Mark Harmon.

• Motorcycle racing (7 p.m., Fox) live from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

• The first round of the 2017 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament (9 p.m.) airs on ESPN2.

JEFF MACNELLY’S SHOE

Widow fears that wearing wig is false advertising DEAR ABBY — I’m a 57-year-old lady. I have been a widow 23 years and chose not to date while Dear Abby raising my ABIGAIL daughter, VAN BUREN who is now 26. I would now like to meet a nice man to spend time with, but I suffer from an affliction many older women deal with — alopecia.

My hair is very thin, but with wigs and makeup, I look attractive enough.

I’m afraid I’m being deceptive when I meet a man like that. When is the right time to tell a man what he sees is

not what he gets?

Embarrassed in Ohio DEAR EMBARRASSED — The logical time to tell someone would be at the point you are becoming intimate enough that he would be running his hands through your hair.

DEAR ABBY — My mother married my father in 1960 when she was barely 16. She was the mother of two children before age 18. My father was older, controlling, abusive and unkind to her.

She wrote to your mother for advice in the 1960s, saying he still carried a photo of his old girlfriend in his wallet and how much it hurt her.

Your mother’s advice to her was to “grow up.” In light of how the times have changed,

I am wondering what your advice to her would be in 2017? Both parents are now deceased.

Curious daughter DEAR CURIOUS — Although there were fewer options available for women in 1960 than there are today, I’m shocked that your mom received the advice she did over my mother’s signature. My response today would be to ask her why she had chosen to stay with a controlling, emotionally abusive man who persisted in carrying around a photo of his ex-girlfriend in spite of the fact that he knew it hurt his wife. And then I’d suggest she ask herself whether she thought the three of you were better off with him or without him.

COURT-MARTIAL FROM PAGE A1 associated with child pornography were typed into a search bar, sent in a text message or used for some other action.

The trial counsel rested after Uder’s final testimony and the defense counsel brought in 10 character witnesses to speak about Jones.

Eight of the character witnesses, current or former members of the U.S. Air Force who have worked with Jones at some time during his career, testified that Jones has a strong work ethic and always took care of his subordinates.

Retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Kendall Potter said he became familiar with the defendant when Jones was the commander of the squadron they were in.

You could tell that he was showing all the characteristics of a leader for the right reasons, he said.

Potter said he was shocked to hear about the charge against Jones because the then accusations were out of character.

It’s hard to condemn someone because of one

mistake; a criminal mistake, he said.

Jones’ wife and daughter also testified as character witnesses on Thursday saying that their family has always been close and their relationship with Jones is still strong.

Before the defense counsel rested its side, Jones testified and read a letter to the court.

Jones said prior to committing the crime, he was dealing with emotional difficulties regarding his mother and father after the death of his brother and that caused him to feel overwhelmed.

In his letter, Jones apologized to the U.S. Air Force and to his family and said he is fully aware of the effect his actions have had on both groups.

He said he realizes that the girls in the images he admitted to downloading are being exploited and that he exploited them by viewing the images.

Stress and depression can alter your judgment, he said.

The court-martial will continue at 8:30 a.m. today on Shaw Air Force Base.

REPORTS FROM PAGE A1 report to Hilton, the committee’s chairman, or McGhaney, who will then address the matter(s) with Baker for any potential changes before the board’s next regularly scheduled meeting.

“The main thing is the finance committee wants to take a more active role in the financial oversight of the district on the front end,” McGhaney said.

The change will allow the committee to vet the report and ask any questions before it reaches the board. According to McGhaney, the new policy will clear up a lot of questions with financial reporting and prevent any confusion at the regular board meeting — like what occurred at Monday’s meeting.

Several board members had questions Monday night on a financial report presented by Baker that had removed financial commitments, or encumbrances, that had been paid since the report was run previously two weeks earlier.

Byrd was supportive of the policy change.

“It’s our responsibility to monitor the financial performance within this district to ensure its integrity as an objective, independent participant,” Byrd said. “Then we can make recommendations to the board.”

SLED asks for documents of GOP finances COLUMBIA (AP) — State investigators obtained documents showing a temporary infusion of cash from political operatives helped Gov. Henry McMaster get re-elected state Republican Party chairman in 2000, though there’s no indication McMaster is under investigation.

Former party treasurer Glen O’Connell said Thursday he gave his 2004 financial review to State Law Enforcement Division agents. Their request came amid a solicitor’s investigation into Statehouse corruption.

According to documents first reported by The Post and Courier, $60,000 from companies tied to political consultant Richard Quinn and $25,000 from another operative enabled McMaster’s supporters to dispute criticism the party was out of money.

McMaster says he’s confident everything was legal.

Former party director J. Sam Daniels says the shortterm loans covered bills following the 2000 presidential primary and Democrats’ lawsuit attempting to stop it.

SAVANNAH FROM PAGE A1 secular beer-fest for many. But in Savannah, King said, “the religious roots are important.”

PROCESSION OF GENERATIONS Among shamrock-decorated floats, marching pipe bands and Army units in formation, Savannah’s parade also features the Rossiters ... and the Hogans, Halligans, Staffords, Reardons and many other families with deep Irish roots on the Georgia coast.

Irish families marching in green jackets and dresses make up a big part of the 2.6-mile parade route through Savannah’s downtown historic district.

Dr. Frank Rossiter, a retired pediatrician, estimates more than 40 extended family members will take part in Friday’s parade. Because Rossiter is a past grand marshal of the Savannah parade (as his father was 36 years before him), he no longer has to walk and rides in a convertible. His family — siblings, cousins, children and grandchildren — will fall in behind him.

“In Savannah, at least with the Irish families, St. Patrick’s Day is almost like Christmas,” Rossiter said. “For your children and their children, a visit home on St. Patrick’s Day is al-

REFLECTION BEFORE THE REVELRY

“NO LEPRECHAUNS, NO RAINBOWS”

Each year on the Sunday before March 17, Savannahians of Irish stock gather for a smaller, more somber procession that echoes the city’s first St. Patrick’s Day parade in 1824.

The march from the cathedral to the Celtic cross standing in Emmet Park, near the downtown riverfront, honors the initial Irish immigrants who arrived in Savannah in the 1800s and labored on the waterfront and railroads after being turned away from Boston and New York.

At Sunday’s annual Celtic cross ceremony, Dennis Counihan, grand marshal of the St. Patrick’s Day parade this year, recalled how the early Irish immigrants to Savannah were “fleeing religious, political and social persecution.”

Occupying a mid-19th century building on Savannah’s cobblestone riverfront, Kevin Barry’s is one Irish pub that takes its heritage seriously.

It’s dark inside, with no TVs and no Wi-Fi for customers’ phones. There’s no jukebox playing U2 or Van Morrison tunes. Instead, live troubadours perform Irish folk songs every night of the week. The shepherd’s pie and beef stew on the menu are based on recipes handed down by the owner’s Irish ancestors.

And on St. Patrick’s Day, the rule at Kevin Barry’s is “no leprechauns, no rainbows,” said Tara Reese, a manager at the pub.

March Gladness or Sadness?

Gamecocks tip off tournament against old foe

BY DAVID CLONINGER The State GREENVILLE — South Carolina’s season was an unqualified success. The Gamecocks won 22 games, 12 in the SEC (the second-most in school history), had a player voted the best in the league and are in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 13 years.

Friday’s game doesn’t change that success.

It just seems like it determines so much more.

If the Gamecocks lose to Marquette, it’s the continuation of a sour end to a really good year. USC will have dropped six of eight to finish the season and, while successful, will have that tag of “the one that got away.”

If they win, it’s another foothold in Frank Martin’s program construction, and another point he can sell to recruits.

Everybody watches the NCAA Tournament and will know USC won a game, and that they can be the player that helps them win another game in the future.

Plus it breaks that notorious streak of 44 years, zero tournament wins. That’s the one that’s already stapled to this team despite none of them having anything to do with it.

“We were aware and we had (longtime equipment manager Mac Credille) come talk to us,” SEC Player of the Year Sindarius Thornwell said. “And he came and talked to us and told us how much it means for him for us to just make the tournament and how much it would mean for him to just, for us to win that first game. It would mean so much for him and for us and our relationship with Mac.” It’s part of every athletics program’s history that you’re held responsible for what previous teams did or didn’t accomplish, but USC basketball seems to really harp on that

Lady Gamecocks look to survive without Coates COLUMBIA (AP) — South Carolina coach Dawn Staley is ready to move past the recent distractions and see what her top-seeded Gamecocks can do without half of the country’s best low-post duo.

Since South Carolina (27-4) won the Southeastern Conference Tournament on March 5, there has been a flurry of activity around the program.

— Staley was named the next coach of the U.S. women’s nationals team — The coach complained loudly about her team being sent across the country if they reach the Sweet 16 — Staley also learned senior center Alania Coates won’t be able to play in

the NCAA Tournament.

Well, not it’s time to get back to the court.

The Gamecocks face No. 16 UNCAsheville (19-14) in first round action on Friday with Michigan State (21-11) playing Arizona State (19-12) in the second game in Columbia.

South Carolina’s success this season has been tied to Coates, a second team all-SEC player and the league’s leading rebounder averaging 10.7 boards and 12.9 points a game, and her low-post partner A’ja Wilson. The Gamecocks have been outscored in the paint just three times this season, losing all three.

They have played three late-season games without Coates, winning them all. Staley’s strategy has been to play more guards driving the lanes for open shots, especially if defenses collapse on Wilson.

Wilson, a junior, is going to try to take up Coates’ rebounding prowess and stay out of foul trouble, since she and freshman Mikiah Herbert Harrigan are now the Gamecocks only true post players.

“It could be,” Wilson said when asked if there should be even more pressure on her with Coates out. “But I

Knights look to hit stride in time for region play

Dengokl, UNCA look for hot streaks to continue against USC

BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS justin@theitem.com Despite a hiccup on Tuesday against Manning, Crestwood High School baseball head coach Mike Kremer has been pleased with his team’s progress thus far.

“We’ve been building and coming together as a team,” Kremer said. “We’re starting to show a lot more heart. We’ve been competitive, and hopefully we can hit our stride tonight heading into region play next week.”

Kremer is hoping the Knights can do just that. They were 1-4 overall entering Thursday’scontest against Thomas Sumter Academy, but the big test will come next week when CHS begins Region VI-4A play against rival Lakewood. The Knights will also have to contend with Hartsville and newcomer Lugoff-Elgin as well as Darlington.

“Region is where it really matters, and we want to try and meet our goal of making the playoffs,” Kremer said. “So that’s what we’ve been building toward with the preseason and these first few games.”

One aspect that has stood out has been the offense. CHS has scored an average of 8.75 runs per game over its last four contests prior to Thursday’s matchup with the Generals.

Sonora Dengokl is likely hoping to leave Colonial Life Arena in Columbia with a much different feeling this time around.

More like the one she experienced walking off the court at the Vines Center in Lynchburg, Virginia, five days ago.

Dengokl, the former Lakewood High School girls basketball standout, was an integral part of North Carolina Asheville’s unprecedented run to back-to-back Big South Conference tournament championships – averaging 10.5 points a game to not only earn a spot on the All-Tournament team but Most Valuable Player honors as well.

DENGOKL The Bulldogs became the first Big South team to win four games in four days en route to securing their second trip to the Women’s NCAA tournament in as many years.

UNC Asheville, which is 19-14 overall, now gets to face top-seeded South Carolina, 27-4 overall, today in Columbia at 5 p.m. Dengokl returns to the site of her last high school game – the 2015 3A state championship against Lancaster in which the Lady Gators fell shy of the title by a 44-42 margin.

We’ve had contributions throughout the lineup, one through nine, no matter where we’re putting them – they’re all contributing.

That begins with catcher and speedster Josh Goodman. Goodman has 17 stolen bases dating back to the preseason tourna-

NCAA MEN’S TOURNAMENT

Defense, Woodson’s shooting help Butler beat Winthrop 76-64 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Avery Woodson scored 18 points and tied a career high with six 3-pointers in his NCAA Tournament debut to lead Butler to a 76-64 win over Winthrop on Thursday.

Woodson, a graduate transfer from Memphis, hit five 3s in the first half to help the fourth-seeded Bulldogs build a 14-point halftime lead.

A 12-2 run in the middle of the second half gave Butler a 60-43 lead with less than 8 minutes left and put the game out of reach for the 13th-seeded Eagles.

Xavier Cooks had 23 points to lead Big South champion Winthrop (26-7).

Butler (24-8) looked comfortable all afternoon at the Bradley Center, the home of Big East rival Marquette. The last time the Bulldogs played in Milwaukee, Woodson scored 17 points in a 68-65 victory over Marquette last month.

One more win in Milwaukee and Butler could advance to their fifth Sweet 16 since 2003.

Tyler Wideman’s dunk on an alleyoop pass from Tyler Lewis made the crowd swoon and gave Butler a 62-43 lead with 7:22 left.

Defense, though, carried the Bulldogs during their second-half run after Winthrop went more than 3 minutes without a field goal.

Winthrop star Keon Johnson finished with 17 points on 7-of-19 shooting. The 5-foot-7 guard scored seven straight points during one stretch of the second half to get the Eagles within seven with 13:28 to go.

Otherwise, Butler’s Kamar Baldwin, a 6-foot guard, did an admirable job sticking with Johnson, the Big South Conference Player of the Year.

BIG PICTURE Winthrop: The loss ends the stellar college career of Johnson, a dynamic guard who can drive fearlessly to the bucket and pull up from 3. Coach Pat Kelsey called Johnson the “heart and soul” the Eagles. He led the team to its first NCAA appearance since 2010.

Marquette head coach Steve Wojciechowski reacts during the second half of a game against Georgetown in Milwaukee. This is the 100th anniversary of Marquette basketball and 40th anniversary of the Al McGuire-coached team winning the national title.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

USC FROM PAGE B1 point. It’s why nobody can really get excited for an NIT season anymore, because after the Gamecocks won back-to-back NIT championships, there’s a feeling of “been there, done that.”

If USC adds to that NCAA streak this year, the season will be viewed by some as a failure, despite the overwhelming evidence that it’s anything but.

“You go back and you think of some of the guys that have played at South Carolina, the incredible coaches that have coached at South Carolina over those 44 years, I think it’s remarkable,” coach Frank Martin said. “It’s one of those stats that you’re like, ‘How is

that happening?’”

USC had a marvelous season that was tested down the stretch, the Gamecocks not able to come up with that extra oomph needed to win a few more games. Their defense, once one of the nastiest in the country, lessened and their offense, not that strong to start with, began being exposed.

All of that’s forgotten. The Gamecocks are in the NCAA Tournament. None of the struggles, the problems, the pressure is with them.

Go out and play like it, and the 44 years ends as well.

“To be able to accomplish that, I think would soothe a lot of people,” Martin said. “It would make a lot of people smile.”

NCAA MEN’S TOURNAMENT

Duke rolling, reaping benefits of fighting through adversity

BY PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer GREENVILLE — Duke guard Matt Jones believes the challenge of overcoming problems and injuries has helped the Blue Devils evolve into powerhouse team they were projected to be at the start this season.

The second-seeded Blue Devils (27-8) were the preseason No. 1 until a rash of injuries — including a back operation to coach Mike Krzyzewski that kept him off the sidelines for a few weeks — stunted their progression during the regular season.

But after four wins in four days to capture the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament has Duke peaking as it heads to its NCAA Tournament opener with 15th-seeded Troy (22-14) in the East region on Friday.

In a later game in Greenville, seventh-seeded South Carolina (22-10) take on No. 10 seed Marquette (19-12).

Two East region games in Tulsa, Oklahoma match thirdseeded Baylor (25-7) against No. 14 seed New Mexico State (28-5) and sixth-seeded SMU (29-4) against 11th-seeded Southern Cal, which won its way in with a First Four victory over Providence on Wednesday night.

Given the preseason hype about Duke’s freshman group led by Jayson Tatum and Harry Giles, the Blue Devils looked like champions on paper last October. Then came the injuries. Grayson Allen with an ankle, Amile Jefferson with a foot; Tatum and Giles started the season on the injured list. Allen was also suspended indefinitely for tripping opponents — though he sat out only one game.

Then in January, Krzyzewski took a monthlong leave of absence after having operation to alleviate a herniated disc in his back.

“I think for this team it was the pain we felt that really drove us to become better,” said Jones, the Duke senior. “I mean pain forces you to grow with coach being out, with guys being injured and every day being so unconventional, we

had to learn how to adjust.”

The adjustments took full effect last week in New York when the Blue Devils gritted out the ACC title, topping rival North Carolina 93-83 in the tournament semis.

Krzyzewski put no stock into his team’s preseason ranking, saying each team has journey to go through that unfolds over four months.

“Ours was a difficult one because every guy on our team got hurt,” he said. “I was out.”

Krzyzewski said with players like Jones, Jefferson and Grayson Allen healthy, the Blue Devils have had a chance to develop chemistry that could take them very far in the NCAA Tournament.

“I like my team a lot. I’m proud of them,” he said. “I think they’ve become men.

And that’s a good thing.”

Some things to watch in Friday’s East region games: SOUTH CAROLINA’S FUTILITY: The Gamecocks have not won an NCAA Tournament game in 44 years since defeating Texas Tech in an opening game in 1973. They’ve gone 0-5 ever since, losing opening games in 1974, 1989, 1997, 1998 and 2004. It’s one coach Frank Martin would love to wipe away against Marquette. “To accomplish that I think would soothe a lot of people,” Martin

said. “It would make a lot of people smile.”

BEAR CLAWS: The Baylor Bears could be the East region’s best closers. They’ve trailed at halftime 10 times this season, yet rallied to win eight of those games. The victories included games where the Bears trailed Louisville by 20 points, West Virginia by eight and Michigan State by three.

DEARTH OF EXPERIENCE: Marquette coach Steve Wojciechowski has plenty of NCAA Tournament experience, going three times as Duke’s point guard and 15 straight seasons as Blue Devils assistant. His Golden Eagles? Not so much. Only Katin Reinhardt, a graduate transfer who reached the tournament at UNLV and Southern Cal, has ever played an NCAA game. Wojchiechowski is not worried about that, hoping his players enjoy the experience and play like they have throughout the season.

MUSTANGS RETURN: SMU is back in the NCAA Tournament after being banned from postseason play a year ago for multiple violations, including academic fraud and unethical conduct. SMU went 25-5 last season, and improved to 29-4 this season. Sophomore guard Shake Milton isn’t looking back. “It’s tough to really

Duke guard Grayson Allen (3) talks with coach Mike Krzyzewski during the Blue Devils’ victory over Notre Dame in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament in Washington. Krzyzewski handed down an “indefinite” suspension to Allen because Allen couldn’t stop tripping opponents. The suspension turned out to last one game. think about all of that,” he said. “I’m really just focused on trying to play. I’m ready to get out there and get a piece of the NCAA Tournament, see what it’s really like.”

MAN OF TROY: Trojans’ Devon Walker knows what it’s like to go deep in the NCAA Tournament. Walker is a 6-foot-6 transfer from Florida who went the Elite Eight his

first year with the Gators, then advanced to the Final Four in 2014. “It’s been a very long journey for me to come here from Florida,” said Walker, who has helped Troy make its first tourney appearance since 2003. “I’ve been through a lot with my knee and losing and expectations and all that type of stuff. So, it hit me all at that moment.”

COLLEGE BASEBALL

SEC favorites have great pitching, still looking for offense

BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer Nearly every team in the Southeastern Conference has a handful of pitchers who have been unhittable during non-conference play.

Finding a consistent lineup has proven much more difficult.

The SEC begins conference play on Friday and several of the league’s highly regarded teams, including Florida, South Carolina, Vanderbilt and Mississippi, have had a similar story during the first month of the season: While the arms have been mostly fantastic, it’s been much harder to put runs on the scoreboard.

Florida (13-5), which is ranked No. 5 in the most recent d1baseball.com poll, might be the best example.

The Gators have a lockdown weekend rotation with Alex Faedo (3-0, 1.37 ERA), Brady Singer (2-0, 1.50) and Jackson Kowar (3-0, 2.19), but the lineup is dead last in the league with a .247 batting average.

Ole Miss (12-5) is in a similar situation. The Rebels’ pitching staff is on an incredible run, throwing five shutouts over the past six games, but the lineup has scored just 14 runs over the same stretch.

Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco said he’d like his team to score more runs, but the success on the mound bodes well for the future.

“If you’re going to be good at something, you need to be good at pitching,” Bianco said.

There are a few teams who have shown the ability to hit and pitch. Going into Wednesday’s game, LSU (13-

5) was third in the league with a .327 batting average and ranks sixth with a 2.82 ERA. Texas A&M (14-4) is hitting .313 and has a 2.98 ERA. Here are a few more things to watch as Southeastern Conference play gets started this weekend:

WHO’S HOT LSU’s Greg Deichmann leads the SEC with seven homers ... Mississippi State’s Brent Rooker is hitting .431

with five homers and a league-high 27 runs batted in.

He also leads the league with 12 stolen bases. Teammate Jake Mangum is batting. 403. ... LSU’s Jared Poche has thrown 29 scoreless innings so far this season. ... Auburn’s Casey Mize has struck out 38 in 22 2/3 innings and has a 0.40 ERA.

WHO’S NOT Georgia and Mississippi State have both struggled

with pitching during nonconference play and are tied for last in the SEC with a 4.55 ERA. Georgia (8-10) is the league’s only team with a sub-.500 record. Mississippi State (12-6) has walked 91 batters, which is easily the most in the league.

MIZZOU, TENNESSEE IMPRESS Missouri (16-1) and Tennessee (12-2) have struggled during recent seasons, but are both off to a good start.

The Tigers have won 16 straight games after losing their opener. Tennessee has benefited in a major way from the return of second baseman Jeff Moberg, who was batting .415 last year when a mid-March knee injury ended his season prematurely. He’s batting leadoff for Tennessee now and has a .475 batting average and .537 on-base percentage with five homers and 14 RBIs in 14 games.

WOMEN FROM PAGE B1 don’t feel it.”

Some other things to look for in Friday’s matchups:

EXPIERIENCED CINDERELLA

ADRIAN ETHERIDGE / UNC ASHEVILLE

Former Lakewood High School standout Sonora Dengokl (15) looks to continue her recent scoring surge as UNC Asheville takes on top-seeded South Carolina today in Columbia in the opening round of the NCAA Women’s Tournament.

UNCA FROM PAGE B1 third-seeded Kentucky last year as a No. 14 seed.

It’s a challenge that Dengokl and her teammates might be up to after their Big South tourney performance. UNC Asheville entered as a No. 7 seed and knocked off secondseeded Campbell and top-seeded Radford on its way to the title.

UNCA is playing its best basketball as of late, and so is Dengokl. Three of her eight double-digit games have come during the Bulldogs’ current 6-game winning streak, including two in the Big South tournament. She scored 20 against Longwood, 10 against Campbell and finished with eight against Radford in the title game.

The sophomore guard’s impact has grown this season for the Bulldogs. She made just one start her freshman year,

In a way, UNC Asheville is a typical No. 16 seed, going 9-9 in the Big South Conference before winning four in a row to win the league tournament. But then again, the Bulldogs aren’t. They return 12 players from a team that earned a 14 seed in last season’s NCAAs, losing by 54 at Kentucky.

Senior guard KJ Weaver said last season the Bulldogs were nervous and just happy to be in the NCAA Tournament. This year, winning eight of their last nine has given the team quiet confidence. Coach Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick has reminded her team they can join 1998 Harvard women as the only teams in the men’s or women’s tournament to ever beat a No. 1 seed (the Crimson beat a Stanford team hobbled by injuries 71-67). “It’s always a possibility for another historic moment,” Weaver said.

STOPPING TORI averaging 6.1 points and 3.5 rebounds in 29 games.

This season, Dengokl has started 16 of UNCA’s 33 games and is averaging 7.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 26.4 minutes per game.

Dengokl isn’t the only player with Sumter connections for UNCA either. Ja’Da Brayboy, a Sumter native, graduated from Providence Day High School in Charlotte, but was part of the Sumter school system through middle school.

She was the starting point guard for the Bulldogs this year prior to getting injured.

Brayboy started 11 games and averaged 5.8 points and 2.8 rebounds.

She came back for Senior Night, but has not played significant minutes since the Jan. 7 game against Longwood.

No player in Columbia has been more valuable to her team than Michigan State’s Tori Jankoska. The 5-foot-8 senior is 10th nationally in scoring at 22.5 points a game, leads the Spartans with eight re-

“There is a lot of things she can do to make our team better. I don’t expect her to have to score 35 or 40 points. And I don’t think you can against Arizona State and the way that team defends,” Merchant said. Arizona State’s Kelsey Moos said watching Jankoska reminds her of Washington’s Kelsey Plum, who leads the nation at 31.7 points a game.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson ‘slinging it’ at Clemson pro day

BY PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer CLEMSON — Clemson’s Deshaun Watson put on an impressive show for NFL teams, making the case at the Tigers’ pro day that he should be the first quarterback taken in next month’s draft.

Watson went through a crisp workout for scouts and evaluators for all 32 teams, including three head coaches: Tennessee’s Mike Mularky, Chicago’s John Fox and Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin.

Watson, the Heisman Trophy runner up this year, completed 54 of 62 throws at Clemson’s indoor practice facility.

Most throws were quick strikes and right into the hands of guys like Mike Williams, Artavis Scott and Jordan Leggett — all who helped the Tigers win the national championship.

“Once again, he showed why he’s the best,” center Jay Guillermo said.

“You don’t get another Deshaun Watson. He had a good day.”

Watson thought so, too.

“I just thought I’d throw the ball, do what I’ve got to do,” Watson said. “I had fun with my guys one more time.”

Watson said he expected to meet with seven or eight NFL teams for interviews and workouts before the draft.

He is in a quarterback competition with North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky and Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer to

be the first QB off the board. Watson has been projected to picked anywhere from No. 3 overall to the bottom of the first round.

Watson did not run the 40-yard dash, do cone drills or any workout other than throw. The practice facility grew very quiet as the 6-foot-2, 215pound Watson took snaps. When he let the ball go, though, people could hear the zip.

“You hear it whistling in the air,” Guillermo said. “I turned back to him one time and said, ‘Man, you’re slinging it.’”

Watson gave NFL executives on hand a prolonged look at him taking snaps under center, something he did not do too much of in Clemson’s uptempo offensive scheme.

ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay has said Watson has a good work ethic and the ability to win in difficult situations. Watson has demonstrated that part of his game, including the final, 2-yard TD throw to Hunter Renfrow with a second left that gave Clemson a 35-31 victory over Alabama in the national title game.

However, McShay believes Watson needs to improve his accuracy and decision making to be a successful NFL quarterback. Watson threw for 4,593 yards and 41 touchdowns this past season, but also had a career-high 17 interceptions while completing 67 percent of his throws.

McShay gave Watson a late-first round, early second-round grade. He understands, though, that the importance of a quarterbacks who can win probably means Watson will get picked in the top 10.

“He’s the national champion. Back to back Manning (awards), back-toback finalist for the Heisman,” Swinney said. “He’s a winner. But it’s also things you don’t see. It’s what’s inside him. It’s what’s between his ears.”
