Rally attendees say Sanders stays on point

“Getting back is a wonderful feeling,” said 1st Lt. Kari Anne Hinners at a homecoming ceremony in a hangar at Shaw Air Force Base Tuesday evening. Hinners was among about 30 airmen from a 20th Fighter Wing Aircraft Maintenance Unit returning to Shaw on Tuesday evening with the bulk of the unit expected to return Wednesday morning. “I am elated and proud, our F-16s set a record for most bombs dropped,” she said. Keith and Diane Hinners drove from Aurora, Colorado to greet Kari Anne, their daughter-inlaw, as she returned from a seven-month deployment in the Air Force Central Command area of responsibility in Operation Inherent Resolve. While their daughter-in-law has been deployed as part of the air war in the Middle East, her husband Keaton was also deployed overseas, they said. He is expected to return in the next few weeks. The Hinners brought along Foxy, a 10-yearold blue healer, which they said their son and daughter-in-law adopted in Sumter last year. They said the dog did OK in Colorado, but seemed more relaxed after returning to the

Workshops County funds July 4 fireworks show set for vets, active duty and spouses BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com

BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Military spouses, service members and veterans will have the opportunity to learn about money management and job hunting skills when Support Military Spouses hosts a free Dinner & Learn Workshop from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Monday at Sumter County Library, 111 N. Harvin St. Attendees will receive a free dinner at the workshop, which is intended to provide information on budgeting, managing credit and how to find work “Attendees will receive valuable tips about money management and job skills training,” said SMS Communications Coordinator Amy Conway. “The idea is to get them tools and information on where to find job postings and job opportunities and give them information about how to succeed at an interview and get job offers.” Support Military Spouses is a nonprofit, Christian charitable organization known for distributing “Appreciation Care Packages” to spouses of active duty military personnel. The group held a care package giveaway in Sumter on Feb. 23. Conway said SMS has expanded its goals and has been offering the workshops as an additional way of supporting military spouses. The group also broadened the eligibility for the workshops to include military members and veterans. “We are inviting them all,” she said. The organization began doing the workshops last year and has served bases in Fayetteville, Jacksonville, Charleston and other locations, she said. “It is a great opportunity to meet other spouses and get to know each other and have fun,” Conway said. “We will be providing dinner, and we will give out some door prizes as well.” Conway said the goal is to do the workshops twice a year in each city. “This will be the first one in Sumter,” she said. The money management workshop will be presented by representatives from Wells Fargo and possibly the job skills portion as well, Conway said. Registration is required at www.supportmilitaryspouses. org. For more information, visit the website or call (843) 3905255.

Sumter residents can look forward to a fireworks show for Independence Day this year after Sumter County Council approved funding for a fireworks show during its regular meeting on Tuesday. County administrator Gary Mixon said the county and city governments have agreed to split the cost for the $20,000 show that will take place at Dillon Park on July 2. He said other areas have fireworks shows the weekend before July 4. The $20,000 cost for the Saturday show is a reduced cost compared to a show on the actual holiday, he said. Mixon said Sumter County will contribute $10,000 from its hospitality fund

for the celebration. When county council voted in favor of funding the fireworks show, Chairwoman Vivian Fleming-McGhaney said the approval is contingent upon the city providing the remaining portion of the cost. Also, council approved second reading of an ordinance to lease property on Queen’s Chapel Road near Quinn Chapel AME Church to South Carolina Department of Natural Resources for longterm ground water monitoring. Sumter County Attorney Johnathan Bryan said the purpose of the project is to monitor five aquifer layers in that area of the county. Councilman Charles Edens said to his knowledge, S.C. DNR will be monitoring water 400 to 500 feet below the surface. He said residential wells do

not reach that deep. The information from the monitoring process will most likely be used to determine the quality and amount of the water available underground, Edens said. The length of the monitoring project was not mentioned during the meeting. In other news, council: • Passed a resolution authorizing the sheriff of Sumter County to enter into mutual aid agreements with the city of Myrtle Beach Police Department, the city of North Myrtle Beach Police Department, the city of Camden Police Department and the town of Mayesville; and • Voted to defer action on an ordinance to extend the water service area for the town of Pinewood until more information is provided.

Board approves special exception for senior apartments on N. Wise BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com Sumter Board of Zoning Appeals approved a special exception request to allow the development of a 49-unit seniors apartment at 101 N. Wise Drive behind ALDI grocery store. Project manager Chris Whitener, who spoke on behalf of the applicant, Douglas Development, said the apartment complex will have less effect on traffic and schools in the area compared to a single-family complex because of the age of the target residents. The three-story building will be available to seniors 55 and older, he said. Whitener said the complex will be a nice transition between the residential and commercial parcels surrounding it. The development com-

pany will have ownership of the complex for 30 years and during that time it will remain a seniors-only apartment, he said. The board also approved a variance to allow a 900 square-foot three-vehicle carport with an integrated storage unit to be constructed at a residence on Wactor Street, leaving a 10-foot setback from the rear property line. The applicant met opposition from neighbors who feared the structure would detract from the 1950s style of houses in the area as well as call for the removal of vegetation on the lot. The applicants told the board that the garage would allow for more protected parking for the family’s vehicles and visiting family members. Several amendments were added to the request

including the condition that the materials of the structure match that of the house on the property; the project must be complete within a six-month time frame; existing buffer vegetation between the new structure and the neighboring yard should not be removed; and Sumter Planning Department will perform the final inspection. In other news, the board approved a variance request to allow an 8.5 acre tract of land be subdivided from 4,000 acres of farm land on Bethany Road for the construction of a house. Senior planner Helen Roodman said the variance was requested because the farm land is owned by a family-operated corporation, and the entity could not give land to the applicant.

LOCAL BRIEF FROM STAFF REPORTS

EMS warns about scam According to a news release from Sumter County Emergency Medical Services, a few residents have reported receiving phone calls from individuals claiming to be EMS personnel attempting to collect a debt for services received. EMS Chief Bobby Hingst wants county residents to know that the department does not call individuals to collect a debt for services. According to the release, information about fees is provided by mail unless the EMS department is contacted directly. Anyone who receives a phone call or has received a phone call from individuals claiming to be from the EMS department should report the incident to Sumter County Sheriff’s Office at (802) 436-2000 and pass along information provided by the caller. The release stated the Sumter County EMS appreciates the public’s understanding in the matter, and the department wants to do everything possible to protect residents and clients.

AWARDS FROM PAGE A1 said Gerald Jennings, disaster program specialist for the local Sandhills Chapter. “If he can make the call, he’s going to be there.” Shumake has been a volunteer with the organization for about five years and serves as coordinator for Disaster Action Team, the local disaster response unit in chapters of the American Red Cross. The units provide disaster relief services on an on-call basis, including free emergency food, clothing and shelter assistance, according to www.redcross.org. The organization also assists disaster victims in planning their immediate and longterm recovery from disaster. A volunteer can be called in day or night. In South Carolina, the most frequent disaster calls are house fires, said Nancy Cataldo, regional director of Services to Armed Forces and International Services. Shumake can provide mental health counseling, as he is certified through the National Organization for Victim Assistance, a private nonprofit organization assisting victims of different types of disasters and crimes. Shumake also works with Jennings in training volunteers to be ready to deploy to emergencies. During the October 2015 floods, Shumake, along with other volunteers, responded to numerous calls to affected areas. Shumake is also involved with the organization’s Fire Safety Smoke Alarm Blitz campaign, in which volunteers are sent out to install fire alarms in various neighborhoods. Since July 1, 2015, about 2,000 fire alarms have been installed in Sumter, Clarendon, Lee and Kershaw counties, the four areas the local organization serves, according to Cataldo.

PALMETTO SOUTH CAROLINA OUTSTANDING VOLUNTEER LEADERSHIP AWARD Holland is the former commander of the 9th Air Force at Shaw Air Force Base and special adviser to the executive coordinator of the S.C. Military Base Task Force. He is vice chairman of the Sandhills Advisory Council, serves on the American Red Cross’ Central South Carolina Board of Directors and is chairman of the board’s community outreach committee. In the aftermath of the October 2015 flood, Holland was called into Columbia to conduct strategic planning for the organization for the entire state. Holland has been instrumental in the local chapter’s fundraising efforts, said Cataldo. He chaired the organization’s golf

tournament and the Firefighter BBQ Challenge. “This event occurred shortly after the flood; we weren’t even sure if we were going to be able to host it,” Cataldo said. “Dutch volunteered to take the lead so that firefighters could tend to their needs after the recovery. The event turned out to be a great success.” Cataldo said Holland also helped to secure the organization’s location at University of South Carolina Sumter in the old Alice Drive Baptist Church building.

VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR Levy, who retired from Becton Dickinson & Co., was named the organization’s volunteer of the year. Levy has been a volunteer for about 2.5 years. He is responsible for the organization’s shelters in Sumter, Clarendon, Kershaw and Lee counties, partnering with state agencies and training state employees in shelter fundamentals. Levy initiated the partnership between the American Red Cross and the Sumter Palmetto Rotary Club for the Pillowcase Project, a disaster preparedness program, sponsored by Disney, for elementary school students. The plan in Sumter County is to implement the program in third-, fourth- and fifth-grade classrooms starting late this school year and continuing through next school year. Levy is also assisting in case work for victims of the October 2015 flood, who may be in longterm recovery. Holland, who presented Levy with the award, said during the ceremony that Levy has represented disaster services at many pre-planning hurricane meetings throughout the state. “Rick’s input is valued both by the Red Cross and emergency managers around the state,” Holland said. “His leadership has been noticed both locally and nationally and because of that he has been asked to serve on many work groups in disaster service, providing valued input and expertise.” Other volunteers presented with awards were: • Rookie of the Year — Courtney Tidwell; • Development — Robert Pegram; • Business Operations/Front Desk — Sheila Davis; • Service to Armed Forces — Kelly Gottheiner; • Youth Services — Bailey Gottheiner; • Preparedness, Health and Safety Services — Matthew Dailey; • Bio-Med — Franklin Johnson; and • Volunteer Services —Veronica Sharp.

The families, mostly wives and children, greeted the returnees with signs, hugs and kisses. Most of the airmen soon turned to gathering their

gear so they could finish the final leg of their journey home after the long flight. Kari Anne Hinners said being deployed at the same time as her husband may have made things easier. “We were in the same time zone, so that made it easier to communicate,” Hinners said. She said it was her husband’s fourth deployment but her first. “It’s good to experience what he has experienced,”

she said. Now that she is back, she said she would get reacquainted with her family. “I haven’t seen them in a long time,” she said. Foxy seemed to know something was up, Keith Hinners said, but she didn’t appear to be overly impressed with Kari Anne’s return. “She is watching for Keaton,” Diane Hinners said. “That’s who she’s really attached to.”

Rose, who will also be training volunteers on Saturday, said house fires in Sumter has been decreasing. He said there were 413 house fires in 2014 and 214 house fires in 2015. Rose said he has no doubt Sumter can continue to reduce the number of house fires this year. Residents can have smoke alarms installed in their homes, free of charge, by applying at any of the fire stations in Sumter, he said. Volunteers will meet at 9 a.m. on Saturday at Grace Baptist Church, 219 W. Calhoun St. Those interested in the volunteer training can find out more information by calling Sumter’s American Red Cross office at (803) 775-2363.

smoke alarms, how to create emergency evacuation plans and pass that knowledge on to homeowners. Shumake said homeowners have 2 minutes or less to get out of the house when a smoke alarm goes off, so it is essential to have a plan beforehand. Families will also be encouraged to make emergency kits containing life-sustaining supplies, he said. Shumake said volunteers plan to install approximately 1,800 smoke alarms in about 600 houses in the Alice Drive area. The batteries in those smoke alarms will last 10 years, said Sumter Fire Department Battalion Chief Johnnie Rose. Look no further than your local newspaper for

Yusef Abdul- Qadir, who formerly worked for the United Nations, wanted to vote for Clinton this election, but declared that her politics weren’t exactly where he needed them to be. “I am happy Sen. Sanders has helped bring her closer to where they need to be, and, of course, I will be embracing her should she become the nominee.” Although he cares greatly for international issues, Abdul-Qadir made it his mission to return to Syracuse to help with one of the largest concentrated poverty rates among blacks and Latinos in the country. The work and the people have prompted the urgency in his voice for change. “We are at a point in country’s history we cannot afford incremental politics,” said Abdul-Qadir. “We need a radical shift.”

As president of his political club at school, he is an advocate of democracy and believes it only works when everyone is involved, which is why he is in favor of Sanders, he said. “There’s a quote on Facebook that says, every mistake America has made in past 30 years you can go and find a video of Bernie Sanders trying to prevent it,” Brown said. “It is rare that you will find a candidate who has been saying the same thing for such a long time, and it’s the right thing.

No surprise Bible is a contested book

he American Library Association recently released a list of top ten books that had received formal requests for removal from public libraries and schools in 2015. For the first time, the Bible made the list. To properly understand what this means, might I suggest finishing the process already practiced by many faced with an alarming headline? The kneejerk reaction from a lot of believers is to rapidly conclude that society has hit bottom in terms of morality. Most stop here, never reading past the headline. It’s important to then unpack the study and analyze why this sacred text is on this list. It was a low year for complaints, so said the ALA. Only 275 challenges came in. Among the Bible’s fellow offenders were “Fifty Shades of Grey” by E.L. James and “Looking for Alaska” by Jon Green, both of which were cited for their sexual explicitness. It’s really not a big surprise what the Bible was cited for: religious viewpoint. You might be able to hear me yawning from here. It’s because the Christian

faith has been challenged in varying degrees since its inception, and it should come as no real surprise the tradiFaith Matters that tion continues JAMIE H. 2,000 years WILSON later. The faith’s key players are always battling against some dissenter. Biblical standards have been constantly evaluated and questioned, especially when certain scriptural rules don’t fit in with the cultural zeitgeist of the era. To be very frank, it is an inherently offensive book because it challenges the very nature of humanity. It forces us to see our incompleteness and realize our need for grace, a notion that isn’t palatable to most. We, the practitioners of Biblical faith, don’t even need any secular opposition; we fight about it enough in our hearts and among ourselves. But as much as it is a contested text, it offers — in this writer’s opinion — the most life-giving principles ever recorded.

When I read where God won’t allow me to face temptation greater than I can stand (I Cor. 10:13), I better understand God’s providence. When I read that God has good plans that will result in my prosperity (Jere. 29:11), I know God has a plan for me. When I read scripture, I receive clarity, something not afforded me by our ever-changing culture. In terms of spiritual opposition, I believe most American believers still live on the margins of spiritual persecution, particularly when we compare ourselves to those living in countries where the faith practice is a capital offense. It can be, however, disconcerting to read that there are those who want the Bible out of government-funded libraries. If you are still unsettled by the Bible’s appearance on this list, then consider another statistic: The Bible is still the most translated and best-selling book of all time. People still thumb the pages looking for answers, many finding them. I hope you are one of them. Email Jamie H. Wilson at faithmatterssumter@gmail.com.

Sikhs in the service

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

U.S. Army Capt. Simratpal Singh is seen in this photo provided by the Sikh Coalition. When Singh entered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point back in 2006, he did something he thought he would never have to: shave his beard. “One of the hardest things I had to do was look in the mirror every day and shave,” said Singh, whose Sikh religion requires men to grow beards as an article of faith. Now Singh and three Army enlistees have won permission to wear beards and turbans after filing federal lawsuits that seek to force the Pentagon to accommodate those who wear beards for religious reasons. Singh won an administrative exception under an Army policy that allows exemptions to the no-beard policy on a case-by-case basis.

How stealthy is Navy’s new destroyer? BY DAVID SHARP The Associated Press BATH, Maine — The future USS Zumwalt is so stealthy that it’ll go to sea with reflective material that can be hoisted to make it more visible to other ships. The Navy destroyer is designed to look like a much smaller vessel on radar, and it lived up to its billing during recent builder trials. Lawrence Pye, a lobsterman, told The Associated Press that on his radar screen the 610-foot ship looked like a 40- to 50-foot fishing boat. He watched as the behemoth came within a half-mile while returning to shipbuilder Bath Iron Works. “It’s pretty mammoth when it’s that close to you,” Pye said. Despite its size, the warship is 50 times harder to detect than current destroyers thanks to its angular shape and other design features, and its stealth could improve even more once testing equipment is removed, said Capt. James Downey, program manager.

Dave Cleaveland and his son, Cody, photograph the USS Zumwalt as it passes Fort Popham at the mouth of the Kennebec River in Phippsburg, Maine, as it heads to sea for final builder trials on March 21. The ship is so stealthy that the U.S. Navy resorted to putting reflective material on its halyard to make it visible to mariners during the trials. During sea trials last month, the Navy tested Zumwalt’s radar signature with and without reflective material hoisted on its halyard, he

said. The goal was to get a better idea of exactly how stealthy the ship really is, Downey said from Washington, D.C.

The reflectors, which look like metal cylinders, have been used on other warships and will be standard issue on the Zumwalt and two sister

he potter controls the size and shape of the vessel spinning on the wheel; depending on the pressure of his fingers, the clay takes the form he chooses. At times God, the greatest potter, puzzles us. We do not understand how He shapes us in His own image and we question the form our life takes. Isaiah (64.8) trusted God’s love... “Yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.” Worship this week. Let God shape you into His image.

ships for times when stealth becomes a liability, and they want to be visible on radar, such as times of fog or heavy ship traffic, he said. The possibility of a collision is remote. The Zumwalt has sophisticated radar to detect vessels from miles away, allowing plenty of time for evasive action. But there is a concern that civilian mariners might not see it during bad weather or at night, and the reflective material could save them from being startled. The destroyer is unlike anything ever built for the Navy. Besides a shape designed to deflect enemy radar, it features a wave-piercing “tumblehome” hull, composite deckhouse, electric propulsion and new guns. More tests will be conducted when the ship returns to sea later this month for final trials before being delivered to the Navy. The warship is due to be commissioned in October in Baltimore and will undergo more testing before becoming fully operational in 2018.

New threats emerge as ‘Orphan Black’ returns At what point does hypermacho patriotic bombast collapse into absurd burlesque? Generally, it’s about the time the professional wrestler opens his mouth. World Wrestling Entertainment star John Cena hosts tonight’s premiere of “American Grit” (9 p.m., Fox, TV-PG). Like numerous other elimination series, four leaders choose teams of four participants to compete in tests of endurance and teamwork to win $1 million. But these leaders have been chosen from elite military units. We have a Navy SEAL, an Army Ranger, a Purple Heart recipient and a Marine sergeant. The competitors are beyond gung-ho. There’s Ashley, the Marine’s daughter, who feels her father’s patriotism “in her blood.” Brooke is a self-described obstacle course junkie. Cameron wants to be a pro wrestler. There’s also a bikini bodybuilder, a would-be Olympian, a triathlete, a roller-derby champion, a “No Excuses” fitness instructor, a former NFL star, a police SWAT commander and a guy who calls himself “The Machine.” Let’s not forget the bearded lumberjack! What is this, The Village People? “American Grit” represents the strangest collision of military culture and reality TV camp since the 2012 flameout of NBC’s “Stars Earn Stripes,” hosted by Gen. Wesley Clark. • “Orphan Black” (10 p.m., BBC America, TV-MA) enters its fourth season on a new night. For the uninitiated, it stars the incomparable Tatiana Maslany as Sarah Manning and female clones, including Alison, Helena, Cosima and Rachel, each with different personalities and attributes. As season four begins, Sarah realizes that her idyll in Iceland is about to end, and that no matter how far she runs neither she nor her “family” can find safety. Folks who want to dissect the show’s head-scratching developments, or just keep up with them, can tune into “After the Black” (11 p.m., BBC America, TV-PG), a half-hour

chat with cast, crew and special guests about plot twists and theories.

TONIGHT’S OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • Hodgins faces a rough adjustment on “Bones” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-PG). • Ben acts before he thinks on a two-hour “Grey’s Anatomy” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-14). • Red scrambles to save the team on “The Blacklist” (9 p.m., NBC, TV-14). • A graffiti artist may be a vital witness on “Rush Hour” (10 p.m., CBS, TV-14). • Jackson doesn’t know his old pals are under investigation on “Game of Silence” (10 p.m., NBC, TV-14). • Alice beats Ben at his own game on “The Catch” (10 p.m., ABC, TV-14). • Ragnar’s new approach proves advantageous on “Vikings” (10 p.m., History, TV14).

CULT CHOICE Catherine Deneuve, Francoise Dorleac, Gene Kelly and George Chakiris star in the 1967 French musical “The Young Girls of Rochefort” (10:45 p.m., TCM), similar in style to “West Side Story” (8 p.m., TCM). Dorleac, Deneuve’s sister, died in a car crash shortly after “Girls” was completed.

The historical society will host a grand opening of an exhibit about the Santee Cooper lakes from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, at the museum, 102 S. Brooks St. Dana Sykes, curator and educational outreach coordinator, has been hard at work during the last several weeks collecting items and memorabilia to display. She has created a timeline on the wall of the museum displaying the history of the region from the Native Americans in the area to the destruction caused by Hurricane Hugo in 1989. The exhibit will focus on the history and wildlife of Lake Marion, including the Santee Cooper Power and Navigation Project, which created Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie, said Jerry Robertson, president of the historical society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to showcase the history and significance of the lake,â&#x20AC;? Robertson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has contributed heavily to the growth and tourism development of the county and surrounding areas.â&#x20AC;? The Santee Cooper Power and Navigation Project, was part of President Franklin D.

Lake Marion was created by the construction of the Santee Dam in November 1941. The project also included the construction of the Pinopolis Dam to create Lake Moultrie, immediately downstream, and a diversion canal 7.5 miles long to connect the two. At the time, it was considered one of the largest land-clearing projects in the U.S. involving 12,500 workers who

Garrett seeks 3rd Baxley challenges for sheriff term as sheriff BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com

BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com Randy Garrett, a Democrat, has filed to run for a third term as sheriff of Clarendon County. Garrett, 61, has been in law enforcement for 42 years, including more than 20 years with the Clarendon County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office GARRETT and more than a decade with Manning Police Department. Garrett said he wants to continue serving the residents of Clarendon County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We give 100 percent every day,â&#x20AC;? he said. Some of the things he said the sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office has been able to accomplish under his term include: improving response time, drug enforcement and criminal investigations. The designation of deputies on patrol to specific zones has significantly improved response time, Garrett said. Special law enforcement units, such as the Interstate Crime Enforcement team, Community Action Team and Special Response Team were created under Garrett. The ICE team recently confiscated the largest amount of cash in the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, discovering more than $813,000 in the trunk of a vehicle dur-

ing a traffic stop on I-95. The Special Response Team has trained and worked on cases searching for suspects in densely wooded areas and swamps. The team has also trained with the military. The sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office has been providing training for an active shooter situation in schools and businesses, as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been preparing citizens for what to do and not to do in those situations,â&#x20AC;? he said. School resource officers are stationed at most of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three school districts. Garrett said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proud of the way the sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office responded during the October 2015 floods with many of his deputies working days without breaks. Garrett said if reelected he would like to continue enhancing on everything the sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office has done in the last eight years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to remind the citizens that the sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office belongs to them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been about building good relationships with people, and we will always be there if you need us.â&#x20AC;? Garrett is facing one opponent in the Democratic primary, Tim Baxley, a retired S.C. Department of Natural Resources captain. No Republican candidates have filed. The Democratic primary will be held on June 14.

Tim Baxley, a retired South Carolina Department of Natural Resources captain, has filed to run against incumbent Sheriff Randy Garrett in the June 14 Democratic primary. Baxley has been in law enforcement for 31 years. He retired from DNR in January as captain of staff operations, managing about 50 staff. His duties included overseeing the emergency management division, homeland security, telecommunication center, aviation section and law enforcement procurement. Baxley came to Clarendon County in 1985 after being assigned to the area as a trooper with the South Car-

olina Highway Patrol. While working as a trooper, Baxley was hired by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division Narcotics Division. He was later assigned to the GoverBAXLEY norâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Retaliation Against Illegal Drugs Team, a division of SLED Narcotics. He joined DNR in the early 1990s as a field officer. When he reached the rank of lieutenant, he had 12 counties under his command and later was promoted to captain. Baxley said if elected sheriff, he would like to focus more on the drug-related crimes occurring in Clarendon County.

BUILDING

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that drug trafficking is important, but we need to focus more on drug crimes happening in the county,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the property crimes occurring here are drug related. My ultimate goal is to combat property crimes which can have an effect on reducing drug crimes.â&#x20AC;? Baxley described himself as a people person who works well with all state and local agencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I pride myself on being able to build relationships to have everyone working together,â&#x20AC;? he said. Baxley said, if elected, he will make sure each crime is followed up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You will hear from me personally,â&#x20AC;? he said. Baxley and Garrett are the only candidates in the race for sheriff.

Pets of the week

How much water do you really need?

s living creatures, the thing we need most is oxygen. But the second most important thing will always be water. Camels and cactus can store excess water for later use; humans can’t. The fluids that leave our body through excretion and sweat must somehow be replaced on an ongoing basis. So, how Nancy Harrison much water do you need? RETIRED A minimum CLEMSON of eight to 10 EXTENSION 8-ounce glassAGENT es of water or other fluids such as juices or milk are essential, even for a couch potato. If you are active, you’ll need even more, especially during the summer months. Don’t rely on thirst to tell you to drink water. When working outside during extremely hot weather, you must take precautions to prevent heat injury, a real possibility in the South Carolina summer months. Thirst can actually be an early indicator that you’re heading for heat injury. Dry mouth, chills, clammy skin, a throbbing heartbeat and nausea are all symptoms of heat cramps. If you experience any of these symptoms while outside for extended periods of time, drink cool water immediately and move to the shade during break time. As a general rule, you will need to consume more water when you perspire heavily, when you are sick and experience fever, diarrhea or vomiting, or when you are in the sun for a long period of time for any reason. Coffee, soft drinks with caffeine, beer and other alcoholic drinks aren’t good choices for fluid replacement. They can actually cause you to lose more fluid than you take in. Some people like sports drinks because they also replace electrolytes lost during exertion. You can make your own lowcost sports drinks by combining a quart of water with a cup of orange juice and a third of a teaspoon of salt. But when all is said and done, the most economical and

readily available fluid replacement for the body is plain water. There are numerous types of drinking water sold today. Despite the fact that the tap is the easiest place to find water, some people don’t care for the chlorine aftertaste. If you find tap water objectionable, but also hate the thought of spending grocery money on bottled water, consider that chilling water from the tap is very, very cold. However, if bottled water is a regular item on your grocery list, you certainly have a wide variety of bottled waters to choose from. A confusing variety, one could say, eight of them. To help make your bottled water decision a little easier, these types are available in most every grocery store: Drinking water: This is water obtained from an approved source and that has undergone a minimal treatment process consisting of filtration and some type of disinfection. Mineral water: This is water collected and bottled directly at the point of emergence from a protected underground source without any treatment to alter its natural mineral composition. Well water: This water pumped or collected using some other mechanical means from a bored or drilled well. Artesian water: This water has been collected from a bored or drilled well that taps an aquifer trapped beneath a confining layer or impermeable clay or bedrock, which pressurizes the groundwater and allows it to rise above the water table without mechanical pumping. Spring water: This is water collected directly from an underground formation from which water flows naturally to the surface. It requires minimal treatment before it is bottled. Purified water: This is water produced by a treatment process such as distillation, deionization or reverse osmosis. Distilled water: This product has been produced by vaporizing and then condensing the water. Sparking water: This water contains natural or added carbon dioxide. Regardless of what kind of water you prefer, get in your minimum of eight glasses each day. Your body will definitely thank you for it.

COMMENTARY

Fashion-backward in North Carolina

ASTON, Md. — It’s been a long while since South Carolina could look down upon its neighbor to the North. Thanks to North Carolina’s anti-LGBT legislation (HB2), also referred to as the “bathroom bill,” the state effectively has begun redefining itself from its longpopular characterization Kathleen as a “valley Parker of humility between two mountains of conceit” (South Carolina and Virginia). The new law, which ludicrously requires transgender people to use the restroom consistent with the sex on their birth certificates, has liberated South Carolina from its persistent place as the brunt of late-night jokes. Remarking on the law, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said her state doesn’t have “that problem.” Brava. The law in question was hurriedly passed last month and signed by North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory in response to what one state official called a restroom freefor-all, referring to sudden hysteria over the possibility of transgender individuals using the “wrong” restroom. How would anyone know? Will officials now post monitors at public restrooms to check birth certificates and human bladder-evacuation portals? This would be riotously funny if it weren’t so patently discriminatory. Many bad deeds go unpunished, but not this one. The economic fallout from the law already is being felt and the price of not doing business is about to go up. Bruce Springsteen recently canceled a concert in Greensboro and Deutsche Bank has frozen a planned 250-job expansion in the state. But the real showdown will be this weekend when not nearly as many buyers and designers as usual will attend the biannual High Point furniture market — the largest in the nation and the state’s biggest economic event. A recent study by Duke University placed the annual economic impact of the High Point market at $5.38 billion. The furnishings industry also generates more than 600,000 visitor days to the state each year and accounts for 37,000 jobs. If there were a Darwin Award for states, North Carolina would win hands-down. Already the High Point Market Authority reports that hundreds or thousands of the 75,000 retailers and designers who annually attend the market won’t be visiting this year because of HB2, which, come to think of it,

sounds appropriately like a disease. Many of those who plan to attend have expressed deep reservations amid likely plans to go to the relatively new Las Vegas furniture market next go-round. Among these is Don Wooters, interior designer and co-owner of Easton’s Dwelling and Design, who told me he feels guilt about going to North Carolina. “I feel like a traitor going to High Point, putting capitalism before human rights,” he said. “I don’t feel good about that and I know it’s wrong.” Wooters isn’t only baffled by the bigotry of the legislation but also by whatever generates the fear behind it. “Why do people feel they have to be afraid? It’s a big sign of how uneducated America is.” Another local designer, Jamie Merida, owner of Bountiful, told me he decided to go if only to make his case to vendors that they have six months to straighten out this mess or he, too, will be off to Las Vegas next time. Although North Carolina has been noted in recent years for its increasingly hard-right politics, it is still shocking that a state that boasts several of the nation’s top colleges and universities and is home to the famed Research Triangle, could codify what is so plainly a discriminatory law. In comments Tuesday, McCrory, feeling the pressure, softened his defense of the law but stopped short of opposing the provision on bathroom use by transsexual people. As in all other times when bigotry raises its hideous head, better angels will prevail. Either the courts will overturn the law or the state will come to its senses, if only for economic reasons. As to that valley of humility? In 1900, when Mary Oates Spratt Van Landingham, a cultural leader and author, first conjured the image in a speech, she was bemoaning her state’s then-lesser “native literature.” “Could it be that being located between Virginia and South Carolina, our people for so long have been furnished such conspicuous illustrations of self-appreciation that they have, by contrast, learned modesty and silence?” she said. “Where there are mountains of conceit, there are apt to be valleys of humility.” Today, those mountains have good reason for self-appreciation by comparison. And North Carolina has proved itself a valley of ignorance, whose legislators and governor could use a moment of silence to consider their illconceived conceit.

‘Although North Carolina has been noted in recent years for its increasingly hard-right politics, it is still shocking that a state that boasts several of the nation’s top colleges and universities and is home to the famed Research Triangle, could codify what is so plainly a discriminatory law.’

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CLARENDON MEMORIAL READY, WILLING, ABLE In The Sumter Item on Tuesday, a letter from Mr. Thomas Martin stated he did not bring his sick wife to Clarendon hospital because he had read in The Sumter Item that the hospital was “having some difficulties.” I have been a volunteer at this hospital for about 25 years and have been a friend of this institution for that same amount of time. I wish to assure Mr. Martin and others who read that same letter that the problems about which the letter spoke are the same problems surrounding many small hospitals. This is a financial problem, which has nothing to do with the amount of care or the dedication and education of our staff. Much of the problem has to do with indigent care because of the necessity to take care of any who come to our doors, regardless of the ability to pay. I recently had colon cancer surgery in Florence, and the hope of my life was to be able to get transferred to the swing bed unit at Clarendon Memorial Hospital. This unit on the third floor is the rehab unit which helps people like me get the help needed to be able to go home again. I appreciated the help offered me in such a dedicated manner that I really did not want to leave the hospital. I cannot think of a higher approval than this. I wish to assure readers of The Sumter Item that Clarendon Memorial Hospital is ready, willing and able to take care of your medical needs. BARBARA D. ARDIS Proud volunteer Manning

THANKFUL COUNCILMAN LOOKS AT LOCAL ECONOMY I want to thank my constituents in Sumter County Voting District 7 (Lemira, Morris College, Crosswell, Loring, Mayewood, Turkey Creek, Magnolia-Harmony, Salterstown and Pocotaligo 1) for your past support. Together we have made

NATIVE SON APOLOGIZES TO SUMTER COMMUNITY

progress in moving Sumter County toward a brighter future for our children. Twice, during tough economic times, you voted to pass a one-cent sales tax to bring in additional revenue to improve the quality of life for all Sumter residents. These funds are being used to complete 46 projects costing approximately $150 million. One of these projects helped Sumter County acquire Continental Tire. This 1-million-square-foot, stateof-the-art facility is a $500 million investment that will create 1,600 jobs, paying average salaries above Sumter County’s per-capita income. The announcement that Continental Tire would build its facility in Sumter County was made at Sumter Opera House on Oct. 6, 2011, during my tenure as chairman of Sumter County Council. Gov. Nikki Haley and Bobby Hitt, South Carolina secretary of commerce, were present. This was a momentous occasion and the biggest economic investment in the history of Sumter County. During this ceremony, I conveyed that Sumter County had a highly skilled, loyal and hardworking workforce that would ensure Continental’s success in Sumter County. I continuously advocate, along with other community leaders, that education is the foundation of economic development. Therefore, new programs are being provided at Sumter Career and Technology Center and Central Carolina Technical College. The CCTC tuitionfree program is open to all high school graduates who maintained a 2.0 gradepoint average and can enter directly into the program. This program is designed to provide the technically trained workforce needed for present and future economic development. Education and job opportunities are here. Put in the work. Remember, “When you invest in yourself, people will invest in you.” Again, THANK YOU for your loyal support. EUGENE R. BATEN Sumter County Council, District 7

Dear Community of Sumter, Growing up as a Sumter native I was very involved with things throughout the community. Baseball especially has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up learning integrity, hard work, and decision making are important principles on and off the field. However, recently my actions have not demonstrated the principles and ethics I truly believe in. I am taking this time to write this letter to express my sincerest apology for my recent behavior. As recently announced, I have been dismissed from The Citadel baseball program due to poor choices. I have not only disappointed so many in the Sumter community, but have disappointed myself. I want to personally apologize to my family, coaches, teammates, and to all of those who I have served as a mentor to over the years. This event is not a true reflection of the person I intend to be. I am deeply sorry for not upholding the standards that I was raised upon. I intend to take this situation and learn from it. Hopefully my situation can be used as an example for others. I want to demonstrate how it is not only important to make good decisions for yourself, but to surround yourself with others who too are advocates of the same moral standards. I was once told that “life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we react to it.” The first step is for me to immediately take responsibility for my conduct and accept all punishments. I have full intentions of using this situation to show others it is important to adhere to the policies set forth by all institutions and to not take consequences lightly. I know that it will take time to amend all of the damage my actions have caused. I also know that my words are meaningless without any actions behind them. Overtime I hope you all can see that I plan to show my growth as a more responsible, independent individual. With sincerest apologies, PHILIP WATCHER Sumter

SUMTER COUNTY VOTER REGISTRATION / ELECTION COMMISSION Today, 5:30 p.m., registration / election office, 141 N. Main St.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): An EUGENIA LAST observation you make will encourage you to make an appealing change to your image. Your new look will give you a professional advantage and will boost your confidence.

The last word in astrology

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A home improvement plan doesn’t have to cost money. Move things around, recycle or make trades for the things you need. Use your imagination and you’ll impress someone you love. Donate things you don’t need. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may feel like partying or letting temptation lead to indulgence, but before you head down that road, consider your health and reputation. Look for alternative things to do, such as making gradual physical improvements. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t get flustered by what someone else does. Stick to your gameplan and strategize to get the most out of whatever you do. An unusual opportunity to alter the way you live looks promising. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be inventive and find ways to cut costs. Nothing is out of reach if you make prudent adjustments once you set your priorities straight and focus on your objective. You can achieve your dream if you’re willing to make sacrifices. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t hang out with people who may try to dump responsibilities on you. Take part in activities that allow you to explore new interests and people. You’ll make an unusual connection that will motivate you to improve.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Gains can be made if you’re willing to make a move. Check out your options and consider a partnership or educational pursuit that can lead to better options and higher earning potential. Romance is featured.

PICTURES FROM THE PUBLIC

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Analyze what you’re up against and who you’re dealing with, and you’ll come up with a plan that will help you outmaneuver anyone who may interfere. Join forces with someone who offers consistency as well as inspiration. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t be fooled by what others do. Concentrate on making your assets grow or cutting corners so you can take part in something that will bring you joy. Positive changes at home will lead to an entertaining and romantic evening. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Handle joint ventures with caution. Look over agreements carefully and negotiate on your own behalf. Don’t leave anything to chance or trust anyone to take care of matters that can influence your future. Protect against emotional manipulation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take a break and distance yourself from a situation that’s been puzzling you. A fresh look at an old idea will give you the answer you’ve been looking for. Make plans to do something special with someone you love. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Protect against exhaustion and injury. If you need to take a break, do so. It’s important to set a pace you can handle when pursuing something of interest, pleasure or concern.

Sumter High School’s Kyra Wilson (5) and Jessica Harris (20) signed to play college basketball with Lander University in Greenwood on Wednesday. Wilson and Harris helped lead the Lady Gamecocks to the 4A state championship game.

by eddie litaker Special To The Sumter Item Jessica Harris and Kyra Wilson may have seen their days as Sumter High School basketball teammates come to an end on March 4 with a 49-40 loss to Spring Valley in the 4A state championship game, but the talented duo’s playing days together are not yet done. Their home court will just move about 130 miles west to Greenwood at Lander University’s Horne Arena. Harris, a 3-year SHS starter who served as a team captain in each of

those seasons, said it was during a joint visit to the Lander campus that the two decided on being Bearcats for the next four years. “It was funny because we were on a trip together, so I looked over at her and I was like, ‘You like it?’ and I was like, ‘Okay, I like it, too,’ ” Harris said. “We didn’t make a decision at that point, but we kind of knew, OK, both of us like it, it’s a good fit for us, and that was always our top priority.” “It kind of just happened,” Wilson, a co-captain in her senior season with the Lady Gamecocks, said. “We weren’t planning on going to school

together, but when the offer showed up we took it, I guess.” Having a friend on campus, a teammate with whom there is a built-in trust level on and off the court, is an added plus to the decision for both. “It does mean everything, just having a friend like that,” Harris said. “This season I was always looking to 5 (Wilson’s jersey number), always looking to 5, so I just know it does mean everything. It means a lot. I’m glad we’re going to school together. It’s going to be a good four years.”

RBC HERITAGE

Bohn’s Back: PGA golfer returns to game after heart attack By PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press HILTON HEAD ISLAND — Jason Bohn laughed with his playing partners Wednesday after leaving the second green with an eagle3 at the RBC Heritage proam. Thoughts of his stunning heart attack two months earlier were the furthest thing from his mind. “This is what I missed,” Bohn said. Bohn is back on the course after leaving the Honda Classic in late February by ambulance. What doctors discovered was frightening: the healthy, 42-year-old had a nearly complete blockage in his left anterior descending artery that, if unchecked, could’ve killed him.

Former Wilson Head track and field head coach Stacy Ard once pointed out Anna Lyles to headmaster Fred Moulton. “She told me Anna was already one of the best runners at the school,” Moulton said. That was when Lyles was a sixthgrader -- and had only just begun with the sport. On Wednesday, Lyles Lyles broke new ground for the Barons cross country and track programs by becoming the first female athlete to catch on with an NCAA Division I program as she officially signed on with Wofford College of the Southern Conference. “It feels really good to have been a part of a program like Wilson Hall that’s allowed me to come this far with my running and to be able to keep doing what I love for the next four years,” Lyles said. “I know it’s been a lot of my determination, but it’s also been a lot of coaches who have helped me get to this point, too.” Lyles, who plans to attend medical school, was initially drawn to Wofford because of its biology program along with South Carolina, Clemson and Furman. Luckily, the athletic side of things with the Terriers worked itself out in the end, she said.

COLLEGE TENNIS

Carnes inks with Limestone tennis BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS justin@theitem.com His grandfather, Charlie Hodgin, has a court named after him at Palmetto Tennis Center. His uncle, Chuck Hodgin, was a standout with the University of South Carolina. Needless to say, Mark Carnes comes from very good tennis bloodlines. Following in those footsteps, the younger Carnes officially began the next phase in his caCARNES reer by signing with Limestone College in Gaffney on Wednesday at his house. “It’s been a dream of mine ever since I was a little kid,” Carnes said. “I had a chance to walk on at a few other schools maybe, but Limestone was the first to offer (a scholarship) and I took it,” East Carolina and Charlotte were also on his radar along with a few other North Carolina schools, but Carnes liked what the Saints had to offer. “The coach (Alan Ferguson) contacted me and we talked and became fast friends,” Carnes said. “I visited a few months ago and then went to an open house last (week) and visited with the coaches and professors. I loved it. Really enjoyed it,”

“It will make me more comfortable,” Wilson said. “I would be comfortable with other people, but I’m kind of used to playing with Jessie. There wouldn’t be any surprises playing with Jessie all the time.” SHS head coach Jason Loudenslager, who attended a few Lander games this season with both Harris and Wilson, said that Lander’s playing style under head coach Kevin Pederson would benefit both of his exiting stars. Lander boasted one of the top defenses in the nation, ranking second nationally in steals, turnover margin and turnovers forced, and also led the Peach Belt Conference in scoring offense, averaging 78.8 points per game. “That’s the biggest reason, I think, that they chose to go to Lander, because of the style that coach likes to play,” Loudenslager, who has led SHS to a 49-8 record over the past two seasons, said. “Coach Pederson has been there for a decade now and plays basically just like we do in our gym. He’s going to press you full court for the entire game, he’s going to run up and down the floor. In my opinion, Jess is going to be a 4-year starter there, Kyra’s going to get a lot of minutes next year, they’re going to fit right in. Lander’s bringing three great kids back, and they’re not at the positions that these two kids play. I think they’re going to be the puzzle pieces that are going to get Lander to the Final Four in (NCAA) Division II.” Pederson enters his 12th season as Lander’s winningest women’s basketball coach with an overall record of 212-123. The Bearcats finished 2015-16 with a 25-7 record, winning the PBC’s Eastern Division and the PBC tournament. A come-from-behind bid felt just short in a 62-61 loss to Francis Marion University in the first round of the NCAA DII Women’s Basketball Tournament. “I liked how much they won,” Harris said of a program that made an Elite Eight appearance in 2011-12 after two consecutive Sweet 16 appearances. “We’re kind of used to it, we kind of like winning now, so we just wanted to go back to a program that we knew we would do good in. They were already doing good, and we just wanted to make it better.” Harris and Wilson were at or near the top in most statistical categories for the Lady Gamecocks this season. Harris led the way in points, with a 13.9 average, and assists, with 5.7 per game. Wilson was a close second in points, with 13.1, while slightly besting Harris in steals, 4.1 to 3.8 per game. Wilson also pulled down a team-high 8.1 rebounds per game, with Harris averaging 3.2 boards from her point guard position. A year after teammate Nijah Davis be-

“That’s the biggest reason, I think, that they chose to go to Lander, because of the style that coach likes to play. Coach Pederson has been there for a decade now and plays basically just like we do in our gym.” SHS head coach Jason Loudenslager came the first SHS girls basketball player to represent South Carolina in the Carolinas All-Star Classic, Harris became the first Lady Gamecock to earn MVP honors in the yearly competition between the top high school seniors of North Carolina and South Carolina. Harris was also named the Region VI player of the year after earning All-Region honors for a third consecutive year and All-State for a second time. Wilson, a 2-year starter for Loudenslager, was a North-South All-Star in her senior season. The low post star was named to her second All-Region team and earned her first All-State honors. “As the games got tougher for us and as the games got more important, these two stepped up and played some of their best games,” Loudenslager said. “I can’t say enough about Kyra and her last two games. The best two games of her career were the two most important games that she’s ever played in. That says a lot about an individual to me, and both of these kids are going to do great things. I couldn’t be more prouder of either one of them.” Both players pointed to their senior season as the highlight of their years as Lady Gamecocks. “I think my whole senior season would be the moment that I wish I could keep forever and keep reliving,” Harris said. “Really, just the relationship that I grew with Coach L and the whole team, we’re like a really big family. I’m going to miss that the most about graduating and going to Lander. They’re always going to be my senior team, the team that made it to state, and even when nobody believed we would make it to state, we still made it. That’s just probably the best memory.” “Probably the bond that we had as a team, that’s probably my favorite thing,” Wilson said, “and the fact that we made it to state. That was pretty cool. I think senior year was my best year. I just feel like we grew a lot this year, to me. We’re more of a family than a team now.”

From Page B1 “I’ve known since November that I wanted to go there,” Lyles said. “With the way Wofford (does its scholarships), I’m more of a walk-on recruit, but I did an official visit in November and talked to the coach and stayed with the team overnight and got to know them. “So that was a big factor.” The size of Wofford also fits perfectly for Lyles, who wanted to go Division I, but a smaller DI school. That was the level she felt most comfortable with, she said, following her knee surgery that has kept her from running track her senior year with WH. It was a condition that showed up during her junior track season, Lyles said, but didn’t flare up again until after cross country competition earlier in her senior year. “Basically the way my knees are aligned,

CARNES

From Page B1

Carnes has been playing tennis nearly as long as he’s been alive and has competed in tournaments since he was very young, he said. In fact, in order to concentrate on tennis, Carnes left Wilson Hall near the end of his freshman year and enrolled with South Carolina Connections Academy -- an online learning center out of Columbia that gave him more flexibility in his schedule. “It gives me time to play tournaments on the weekend and get there early and get some work in,” Carnes said. “I needed it to allow me to develop as a player and a person. “It’s tough sometimes. You have to have a lot of discipline and be self-motivated to stay focused, but it’s worked out really well for me.”

they’re kind of rotated inward,” Lyles said. “So they had to go in and realign the distal part of my left leg. It’s a 4-6 month recovery so I decided to go ahead and have it (after cross country season) and have time to recover before next fall.” Lyles loves distance running, but is excited about the opportunity to run indoor track events next year with the Terriers. Regardless of what she runs, Lyles is a prime candidate to shine. She is an all-state selection and former region most valuable performer for both cross country and track. “She’ll do whatever it takes to excel and succeed -- both athletically and academically,” Wilson Hall cross country head coach Tom O’Hare said. “She’s totally into the sport. She analyzes it, she studies it. She’s as meticulous in her preparation as anyone. She knows how long to warm up, what stretches she needs to do, what she needs to do the day after a race and what she needs to do six months before a race. “She leaves nothing to chance.”

Carnes practices at PTC as well as in Myrtle Beach and in the Columbia area. He’s instructed by his grandfather, his father, Mike, Carlos Lozano out of Rockbridge Club in Columbia and Mike Pereira at PTC. Carnes has competed in a number of United State Tennis Association Junior tournaments throughout the years in both singles and doubles matches. He’s been in Zonals for three years -- a competition between teams of elite Southern juniors who represent USTA Southern against other sections of the country. Carnes has also been a member of the 18U Advanced National team and has three doubles titles under his belt playing at tournaments in Belton -- a place where he’s competed since he was nine. Now Carnes must turn his focus to adapting to the regiment he will face in college. “I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “It’s going to be different. Hopefully I can adapt quickly.”

Police: Braves’ Olivera arrested The Associated Press ARLINGTON, Va. — Atlanta Braves outfielder Hector Olivera was placed on paid administrative leave by Major League Baseball after he was arrested and charged with assaulting a woman at a hotel outside Washington. The Braves said in a statement Olivera Wednesday the team is “extremely disappointed and troubled.” Officers were called earlier Wednesday to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Pentagon City, where a woman with visible bruises reported that Olivera had assaulted her, Arlington Police spokeswoman Ashley Savage said. In a news release Wednesday, police said Olivera was charged with assault and battery, a misdemeanor, and bond was set at $10,000. Savage said Olivera and the woman are acquainted. The Atlanta team is in Washington for a series against the Nationals. The 31-year-old Olivera defected from Cuba and agreed to a $62.5 million, six-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers last May and was traded to Atlanta on July 30. Olivera will continue to receive his $4 million salary while on leave. He may ask baseball’s independent arbitrator, Fredric Horowitz, to reinstate him to the active roster pending MLB’s investigation. If a request is made, a live or telephone hearing is to be held within 24 hours of the request.

WASHINGTON — Still seeking a victory in 2016, Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez acknowledged his team’s troubles affected his decision-making Tuesday night. Even with starter Jhoulys Chacin working on a shutout through six innings on only 69 pitches, Gonzalez lifted the righty for a pinch hitter with a man on second and two outs in the seventh. Didn’t work. And the Braves wound up losing 2-1 to the Washington Nationals to fall to 0-7 this season. “We haven’t won a game in a week and we’ve got to get one and get a run here,” Gonzalez explained. “I think it’s one of those decisions later on this summer, where if you’ve got a nice winning streak going or you’re rolling, you maybe let him hit there in that situation.” Chacin’s reaction to the move? “I was fine with it,” he said. On a windy night with the temperature dipping into the 50s after the first pitch, both starting pitchers were making their season debut. And both were superb. Chacin came up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday, while Washington’s Gio Gonzalez saw action for the first time since a March 27 spring training exhibition. Both threw six shutout innings. Chacin allowed five singles and struck out eight, walking none. “Every time you pitch good and your team doesn’t win,” Chacin said, “it’s hard to take.” After he left, Bryce Harper sliced a two-run double to left with two outs in the eighth inning for the Nationals’ 12th consecutive home victory against the Braves. Harper, the reigning NL MVP, broke a scoreless tie by connecting with the first

It made a winner of Blake Treinen (2-0), who got Francoeur to ground into a basesloaded 6-4-3 double play to end the eighth. Treinen stayed in for the ninth but was removed after walking Gordon Beckham with two outs. Felipe Rivero then gave up Kelly Johnson’s RBI double to make it a onerun game before earning his first save of the season by striking out Mallex Smith.

NEW YORK — Kevin Plawecki grounded a tiebreaking, two-run single through a drawn-in infield in the seventh inning, and the New York Mets beat the Miami Marlins 2-1 Wednesday to stop a fourgame losing streak. Logan Verrett, starting in place of injured pitcher Jacob deGrom, allowed three hits in six shutout innings, and Hansel Robles and Jerry Blevins (1-0) combined to escape a basesloaded, no-outs jam in the seventh. Miami’s Adam Conley struck out a career-high nine in six scoreless innings, but Dustin McGowan (0-1) faltered in the bottom half. Wilmer Flores singled, took second on a wild pitch and third on Asdrubal Cabrera’s single.

Hall of Famer Swann new atheletic director at Southern California LOS ANGELES — Lynn Swann is the next Southern California football great to get the chance to run the Trojans’ athletic department. The Pro Football Hall of Famer was named USC’s athletic director on Wednesday. USC President Max Nikias announced the appointment of the former Trojans receiver, who will succeed Pat Haden on July 1. Swann was among more than 200 candidates considered for the position atop the high-profile department, Nikias said. Although the Pro Football Hall of Famer has no experience in collegiate athletic administration, Swann is the third straight former USC football player to get the post.

“I grew up watching Michael Jordan as a kid, so I only caught the tail end of Michael Jordan’s career,” said Luis Leon, who was raised as a Laker fan despite living in Phoenix. “So the closest thing to Michael Jordan was Kobe Bryant. The way he carried himself on the court was beautiful. He was the last link to Michael Jordan for my generation.” Leon drove the six hours from Arizona to LA to be there despite not having a ticket, or hope of getting one. The gathered fans were unanimously willing to forget for now that the last Laker team Bryant led was the worst the city has ever seen (16-65). But unlike Dodgers announcer Vin Scully, another LA icon in his final season, Bryant was by no means universally revered here. Many scorned him as a ball hog who took too many shots, and a salary hog who kept the team from signing free agents to stay relevant in his late career.

I grew up dirt VAN BUREN poor, so at 18 I left home with $5, went straight to work and never looked back.

their money on fancy dinners and luxury vehicles. I’m just a working-class woman who likes driving my 10-year-old car, and I don’t feel like I fit in with anyone. In fact, I’m developing an anxiety. A few months ago I went to the bank to deposit a large sum of money and was mortified to see that the bank teller was a friend of the family. I have gone to the extreme of lying about owning homes and going on vacations, and it’s making me crazy. I even have issues with letting my young daughter’s friends come over for playdates, for fear that the other moms will think our house is “too nice.” Do I need counseling or is this just a turning point in my life that I need to grasp? Money worries

DEAR MONEY WORRIES — If someone has to have money worries, yours are the nicest kind to have. It would be interesting to know how many successful people share your feelings, because I suspect that you are far from alone in experiencing them. (A psychiatrist once told me that many of her successful patients feel like frauds despite their considerable accomplishments.) A licensed mental health professional can help you to get past these feelings before they cause your daughter to be isolated, and I think the money would be well spent. P.S. If you feel your banking transactions are not being kept confidential, either change financial institutions or arrange for private banking, which is available for high-net-worth individuals.

The tight layout is one of his favorite courses and “selfishly, it’s an easier walk,” he said. Bohn acted like someone with boundless energy and the enthusiasm to tackle golf on the hilliest of terrains, though. The last hurdle came when Bohn got a positive test result, doctors saying his heart was 100 percent fit to play golf. That’s what Bohn has done since arriving here Monday. He played 18 holes Tuesday, then a full pro-am round to prepare for his first event since leaving the Honda on Feb. 26. “I’m not really fatigued,” Bohn said. “I feel like right now I have more energy, maybe it’s because I’m really excited and the adrenaline is kind of carrying me through.” Not everything is the same. Bohn said he spoke with Erik Compton, a PGA Tour player who competes after two heart transplants, about what to expect. Compton said Bohn might feel some shortness of breath at times or fatigue in situations where he did not strongly exert himself. “I’m completely ignorant in what to expect,” Bohn acknowledged. What’s caught Bohn offguard the most is the support he’s gotten from every corner
