The Leapfrog Group announced its Spring 2016 Hospital Safety Scores on Monday, assigning letter grades to more than 2,500 U.S. hospitals, by assessing medical errors, accidents, injuries and infections. Palmetto Health Tuomey received a C grade, the same as Fall 2015, but a drop from a B in Spring 2015. Clarendon Memorial Hospital in Manning maintained a B grade, which it has received since Spring 2015. “We have continuously improved our quality grade from the Leapfrog Group,” said Paul Schumacher, acting CEO/COO for Clarendon Health System, the parent organization for Clarendon Memorial Hospital. “This is our second B in a row from them, and it represents a strong commitment from our entire team of healthcare professionals.” Palmetto Health Tuomey Physician Executive Dr. Gene Dickerson said he was disappointed by the score. “We have been striving to improve our score not just to a B but to an A,” he said. He said the Palmetto staff has been working year-round on projects to improve patient care and outcomes. “We look at areas where we have room for improvement and how we can make those things better,” he said. Dickerson also pointed out that much of the data used for the scores are from 2014 or the first half of 2015 and do not reflect current conditions at Palmetto Health Tuomey. Alongside the update, Leapfrog contracted with Johns Hopkins Medicine’s Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality on a report estimating the number of avoidable deaths at hospitals in each grade level. The analysis found that despite considerable improvement in the safety of hospital care since the score’s launch in 2012, avoidable deaths remain high. Findings point to a 9 percent higher risk of avoidable death in B hospitals, a 35 percent higher risk in C hospitals and 50 percent higher risk in D and F hospitals than in A hospitals. In a look at some specific categories, Palmetto Health Tuomey scored highly in effective leadership, receiving 120 points out of a possible 120. The average score is 114.09. Clarendon Memorial Hospital scored slightly

Founder and CEO of Sport Clips Haircuts, Gordon Logan, second from left, jokes with a group of his classmates from Edmunds High School class of 1964 before the opening of Logan’s 1,500th store in Sumter on Thursday. The company donated $15,000 to Sumter Toys for Tots.
Sport Clips founder shows generosity in hometown BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Christmas in April? No, but a lot of children in Sumter, Clarendon and Lee counties will have their Christmases brightened as Sport Clips Haircuts founder and CEO Gordon Logan presented a $15,000 donation to the local chapter of Toys for Tots. Logan presented the donation Thursday to mark the opening of Sport Clips’ 1,500th franchise location, which happens to be in Sumter, his hometown. The contribution will enable Marine Detachment 1202 to put smiles on the faces of approximately
3,000 children in the tri-county area, a Sport Clips news release said. Logan, and his wife, Bettye, along with local franchisees Zach and Sharon Payer, presented the check to Harvey Senter, Toys for Tots regional coordinator, before a gathering of local dignitaries and guests at the recently opened Sumter Sport Clips, 2621 Broad St. Gordon Logan said he wants to tie in to the local community, and Toys for Tots is a natural fit for his charitable giving. “Two of our favorite causes are veterans and kids,” he said. “I am happy to make the donation.” Logan and his wife have also been
active in supporting the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which raises money to combat childhood cancer. Gordon Logan is a 1964 graduate of Edmunds High School and earned an engineering degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “I flew C-130s for the Air Force for a while, and they sent me to Texas,” he said. Logan said it was great to be back in Sumter and to see old friends. “It’s a homecoming to the place where family and friends taught me about life, hard work and planted the

Caterpillar closure rumors unfounded BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Reports of Caterpillar planning to close its Sumter plant are apparently unfounded, according to information provided to The Sumter Item on Thursday. Rachel A. Potts, director
of U.S. and corporate media relations for Caterpillar, emailed The Sumter Item on Thursday evening and said, “The Sumter plant is not included in (Thursday’s) announcements.” Thursday’s announcements said that as part of its global restructuring ef-
forts, it has notified workers at five facilities of coming closures and one planned building demolition. The closures will result in a reduction of about 820 positions, the announcement said. Facilities in Jacksonville,
Florida; Oxford, Mississippi; and Morgantown, North Carolina, will be closed, while a building at the Mossville, Illinois, campus will be demolished. The company also said it will consolidate two facilities

RICK CARPENTER / THE SUMTER ITEM
Local organizations have combined efforts to seek donations to the local food banks and an international Feed My Starving Children program organized by a Mayesville church. From left are Mike Hallier and Gregory Vaughn representing U.S. Postal Service; Vivian Fleming McGhaney, chairwoman of Sumter County Council; Sumter Mayor Joe McElveen; Sarah Bradham, chairwoman of Feed My Starving Children in Sumter County, with her daughters; and the Rev.

Local groups raise money, donations to fight hunger BY RICK CARPENTER rick@theitem.com A local charity and the U.S. Postal Service are combining efforts to help fight hunger locally as well as internationally and using Mother’s Day, May 8, as a focal point for their efforts. Feed My Starving Children, an organization that collects and packages thousands of meals that are sent overseas to feed children, encourages residents to donate money that will help local groups collect materials for its annual packaging event in August. Local organizers of the Feed My Starving Children campaign are asking residents for financial donations in honor of their moms. The organization has a flier that says that it
only costs 25 cents to provide one free meal. The campaign runs from Monday to May 14. In addition, the Postal Service will pick up non-perishable food at local mailboxes for the “Stamp Out Hunger” drive. The Postal Service encourages residents to leave food items at their mailboxes. Postal Service sends a truck to collect the bags of food and then distributes the food to local food banks. To donate to the international Feed My Starving Children program, you can send a check to “Moms and Meals,” P.O. Box 354, Mayesville, SC 29104. To help city and county food banks, send checks made out to “Moms and Meals” to Sumter Volunteers, Moms and Meals, P.O. Box 1448, Sumter, SC 29151.
Most people have them unused prescription drugs sitting in a medicine cabinet or night stand. Kept out of sight, the prescription drugs seem harmless. But in the wrong hands, they can be deadly. From 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday, Sumter Police Department, in partnership with Drug Enforcement Administration, will again collect unwanted and unused drugs to ensure safe disposal.
According to a department news release, it is also advised that the usual methods for disposal — flushing pills down the toilet or throwing pills in the trash — both pose potential safety and health hazards. To help keep your friends and family safe, pills or patches can be delivered to Sumter Law Enforcement Center, 107 E. Hampton Ave., for disposal. The service is free and drop offs are anonymous. Liquids, creams, needles or other sharp medical devices will
not be accepted. Sumter Police Department has participated in Drug Take Back Day since its inception in 2010 and has collected more than 100 pounds of pills during each event. If you cannot make it Saturday, do not worry. The police department accepts unwanted pills and patches at the law enforcement center year-round during normal business hours. For more information, contact Sumter Police Department at (803) 436-2700.
Chamber, schools hope to create stronger community partnerships BY RICK CARPENTER rick@theitem.com Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce wants to build relationships between its members and local schools. The Chamber will host a Community Partnership Forum on May 12 to inform business, industry, faith and civic leaders about partnership and mentoring opportunities in Sumter’s public and private schools. According to information jointly sent from Sumter School District, private schools and the Chamber, the Sumter Partners in Education program wants to connect each school with a community partner that can provide such services as mentors, volunteers, service projects and in-kind services or donations. The Chamber plans to recognize those partnerships and a Community Partner of
the Year at a luncheon event next year, according to the release. “By establishing and maintaining creative, quality partnerships to support Sumter’s schools, our community is making a positive difference for Sumter’s children,” said Shelly Galloway, public information and partnerships coordinator for Sumter School District. Galloway said no business or organization is too large or small to serve as a partner. Central Carolina Technical College will host the forum from 7:45 to 9:45 a.m. that Thursday in its health sciences building Iris Room at 111 S. Main St. in Sumter. The free event includes a breakfast. The Chamber asks participants to register by Thursday by calling (803) 775-1231 or emailing your information to attend to Susie@sumterchamber.com.

Sumter church sends clothes to Ukraine orphanage
BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com
On Monday, members of Harmony Church in Sumter collected four boxes, or about 300 pounds, of items to send to the Ukraine to go to children at the orphanage and refugees. Instead of hosting a traditional baby shower, church member Megan DuBose and her husband, Rob DuBose, decided to to host an event to collect clothing for children in need in Ukraine. “Our future baby girl has a family, a warm welcome, a home, clothes and a bright future promised here in America,” DuBose said. “In Ukraine, hundreds of children have nothing, no welcome, no family, no home, no basic necessities or clothes. We wanted to do something to help.” About 40 women got together at the DuBoses’ home on Sunday to collect the clothing. On Monday, church members and volunteers sorted the clothing and packed it into boxes at the church. The church sends clothing to an orphanage in Ukraine in the fall and spring of each year. It all started when Dr. Jeff Crane, a medical
Most of the Operation Inasmuch projects are already set, but Travis Kinley, coordinator for Inasmuch United Sumter, said city and county residents can still participate through donations.

He said Operation Inasmuch volunteers will be stationed at several grocery stores in Sumter including: • Walmart Neighborhood Market, 615 Bultman Drive; • IGA, 348 Pinewood Road and 313 W.

Airstrikes, shelling kill at least 60 in Syria’s Aleppo city BY SARAH EL DEEB The Associated Press BEIRUT — A wave of airstrikes and shelling killed more than 60 people in less than 24 hours in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, monitors and activists said Thursday. The contested city is now one of the main battlegrounds of Syria’s devastating civil war with a cease fire that has collapsed and peace talks in Geneva stalled. At least 27 people died as a hospital supported by Doctors Without Borders and the International Committee for the Red Cross and nearby buildings were hit overnight in the rebel-held part of Aleppo. The U.N. envoy for Syria appealed early Thursday to the United States and Russia to help revive the peace talks and a cease fire, which he said “hangs by a thread.� However, the violence only escalated. New airstrikes Thursday in residential areas in the rebel-held part of the city killed at least 20, while state media reported that at least 1,000 mortars and rockets were fired at government-held areas of Aleppo, killing at least 14 civilians. The chief Syrian opposition negotiator Mohammed Alloush blamed the government of President Bashar
Assad for the violence. He told The Associated Press that it shows “the environment is not conducive to any political action.� He denounced the intensive bombing as an attempt by Assad’s government to drive the residents of Aleppo out, labelling it “a crime of ethnic and sectarian cleansing.� About 200 civilians have been killed in the past week in Syria, nearly half of them around Aleppo. There has also been shelling in Damascus, along with a car bombing — both rarities for the capital. The ICRC said the fighting, including the destruction in airstrikes overnight of a key hospital in Aleppo, is putting millions at grave risk. With peace talks in Geneva completely deadlocked, Syrians are regarding the escalating bloodshed with dread, fearing that Aleppo is likely to be the focus of the next, more vicious, phase of the war. Rebel commanders said government forces have been mobilizing soldiers, equipment and ammunition in preparation for a military action in Aleppo. The well-known al-Quds field hospital supported by MSF and ICRC and located in the rebel-held district of Sukkari was hit shortly before midnight Wednesday, according to opposition activists and rescue workers. Six hospital staff and three children were among the 27 who died there.

A civil defense worker carries a child after airstrikes hit Aleppo, Syria, on Thursday. The new violence brings the death toll in the deeply divided city to at least 61 killed. The hospital has been one of the main medical centers operating in Aleppo since the city became deeply divided in 2012. Dating back to the 1990s, the hospital was renamed after the area came under rebel control to carry the name of one of the uprising’s early victims, Basel Aslan, who was detained and tortured to death, said civil defense volunteer Ibrahim Alhaj. It received aid and assistance from various for-
eign groups as well as a volunteer medic from the United States, according to its Facebook page. The Syrian Civil Defense, a volunteer first-responders agency whose members went to the scene of the attack, put the death toll at 30 and said the dead included six hospital staff. Among those slain was one of the last pediatricians remaining in opposition-held areas of Aleppo and a dentist.

Big Bush and Rubio donors shun Cruz, Kasich WASHINGTON (AP) — It seems like a logical pairing: Republican donors who despise Donald Trump and two GOP presidential rivals sticking it out to keep him from the nomination. Yet those donors have largely shunned Ted Cruz and John Kasich, depriving each of them as much as $39 million in what has become a desperate final push to topple Trump. Yet, donors who once gave as much as allowed by law to establishment favorites Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio have mostly disappeared from the political landscape, an Associated Press analysis of campaign finance records shows. Less than 3 percent of the nearly 14,600 donors who gave the $2,700 limit to Bush or Rubio have also ponied up the maximum amount to Kasich or Cruz, the analysis found. Trump, who has formidably deep pockets, trounced his competitors in Tuesday’s Northeast primaries, putting him in a stronger position to win the Republican nomination outright in the next six weeks of voting. The prospect of stopping him has grown so dire that Cruz on Wednesday took the unusual step of announcing a running mate, Carly Fiorina. Earlier, he and Kasich agreed to divide their efforts in some remaining primary states to improve their chances of beating Trump. But the big donors’ continued spurning of Cruz and Kasich is one reason they haven’t had more success. “There are a significant
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, speaks during a rally at the Hoosier Gym in Knightstown, Indiana, on Tuesday. Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich are having a tough time attracting establishment Republican donors. number of major fundraisers in the Republican Party whose networks are exhausted and donors who are worn thin emotionally from the effort they made for a candidate who is no longer in the race,” said Wayne Berman, a longtime Republican fundraiser. “That combination has led to many, many people sitting on the sidelines.” He’s speaking from experience. Berman was the national finance chairman for Rubio and chose not to raise money for any other candidate after the Florida senator dropped out March 15. Both Kasich and Cruz have feverishly pitched themselves to donors as the candidate best able to unify the party. It has been a particularly tough fit for Cruz, a first-term Texas senator who has made his name as an unrelenting
conservative fighter — even against those in his own party. He’s had a healthy core of his own donors, including roughly 3,900 who have given the maximum amount. In fact, Cruz is the best Republican campaign fundraiser of the 2016 cycle and started April with $8.8 million cash on hand. Cruz has stepped up his requests of donors who might
not have otherwise considered him. He and his wife, a Goldman Sachs manager on leave, talked to New York financiers last week at the Harvard Club of New York City. The backers of former candidates are seldom responding, AP’s analysis shows. Through the end of March, just 186 Bush-Rubio maxedout donors had given the maximum to Cruz. Fred Zeidman, a Houstonbased fundraiser for Bush’s failed bid, is one of them. He said he felt he “owed” the donation to Cruz because of his strong support of Israel, Zeidman’s top issue. Still, Zeidman said he can understand why lots of former Bush and Rubio donors are reluctant. “They’re keeping their powder dry until the general election, in effect just letting the primary system sort itself out,” he said. Kasich, the governor of Ohio, has attracted 174 maxedout donors who also gave the maximum to Bush and Rubio. He’s won some of the party’s top female donors, including Lynne Walton, a Wal-Mart heiress.
But Kasich has been in desperate need of more donors willing to give as much as they can. He started April with just $1.2 million on hand. The AP analysis is based on reports of campaign contributions filed with the Federal Election Commission from the beginning of the 2016 presidential election cycle through the end of March. The AP looked at donors who gave the maximum primary-election amount to Bush or Rubio with those who had given the maximum amount to the Democratic and Republican candidates still in the race, comparing each donor’s name, city, state and ZIP code. Because the analysis excluded donors if any of the information didn’t match, there could be a slight undercount. On the Democratic side, the analysis revealed that front runner Hillary Clinton attracted about the same number of Bush-Rubio donors as did the Cruz and Kasich campaigns. About a dozen BushRubio donors have also given to Trump. A tiny core of 15 Bush-Rubio donors continued to hedge their bets by maxing out to both Cruz and Kasich.

seeds of entrepreneurship,” Logan said. “The fact that the brand my wife and I started in 1993 has a sports theme likely took root when I was the sports editor here for the Edmunds High School newspaper,” he said. “The Air Force took me to Texas, but I will always think of Sumter as home.” Zach Payer said it was a “very special” day. He said he and his wife looked at a lot of locations in the region but locating a franchise in Logan’s hometown “felt right.” “We look forward to playing an active role in the community,” he said. Senter said Logan’s philanthropy runs deep. “You have heard of a ‘heart as big as Texas,’” he said. “You’re seeing it right here in Gordon Logan.” U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Bryan Sheridan, drop box coordinator for Toys for Tots, said he became involved in the organization after agreeing to drop off a few boxes. “It’s a great cause,” he said. “I know it is mostly Marine Corps, but I took the opportunity after seeing the difference that it makes.” Sumter Sport Clips will be accepting donations for Toys for Tots through Dec. 23, according to signage at the store. Also on hand for the celebration were Sumter Mayor Joe McElveen; City Manager Deron McCormick; Sumter County Council Chairwoman Vivian Fleming-McGhaney and other

The facilities targeted for closure are the electric power generator set packaging facility in Newberry and the generator set control panel assembly facility in Ridgeway, the announcement said, resulting in a reduction of about 325 positions in Newberry and about 75 in Ridgeway. The work will be consolidated into existing Caterpillar engine facilities in Seguin, Texas, Lafayette, Indiana and Griffin, Georgia, in the next 18 months, the company announced. The company’s operations in Sumter produce ball bearings, linkage pins and planet shafts for heavy equipment, employing more than 350 people, according to Sumter Economic Development. Since Sept. 24, 2015, Caterpillar’s restructuring has reportedly resulted in the elimination of approximately 5,300 positions. Including Thursday’s announcements, the company has announced the closure or consolidation of about 20 facilities, which represents about a 7 percent reduction of square footage.

THE SUMTER ITEM
Trump struggles to explain his approach to U.S. foreign policy WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump strained to lay out a clear vision of his “America first” foreign policy on Wednesday, vowing to substitute hardheaded realism for what he called a post-Cold War era replete with U.S. national security failures. Yet the Republican presidential front-runner outlined no strategy for how he’d make the United States at the same time a “consistent” and “unpredictable” force in the world. And he didn’t appear to allay the concerns of U.S. and international critics — Republicans at home as well as Democrats — who see him as unfit for the responsibilities of commander in chief. “’America first’ will be the major and overriding theme of my administration,” Trump declared, echoing motifs from his campaign that is now close to sealing the GOP nomination. Delivering his lines in a more sober, restrained manner than usual to cast himself as presidential material, the billionaire businessman and reality TV star toned down or omitted several of his most explosive — and oft-repeated — barbs. He made no reference to forcing Mexico to pay for a wall across the nation’s Southern border. He also didn’t revisit the idea of allowing Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia or any other country to develop nuclear weapons for self-defense purposes. Instead, Trump took aim at President Obama’s embrace of an Iran nuclear agreement, Obama’s failure to eliminate the Islamic State group and other examples of what he termed a foreign policy of “randomness” and “chaos.” His criticism extended to Republicans, too, assailing President George W. Bush for the Iraq war and mocking a foreign policy establishment of “old
Valeant’s outgoing CEO, J. Michael Pearson, standing, and former chief financial officer Howard Schiller, right, arrive on Capitol Hill in Washington on Wednesday to testify before the Senate Special Committee on Aging hearing on drastic price hikes by Valeant and a handful of other drugmakers.

people” who have scoffed at his diplomatic and national security credentials. “It’s time to shake the rust off America’s foreign policy,” Trump told academics, reporters and a smattering of supporters in a Washington hotel ballroom after being introduced by one such old voice of the foreign policy elite — Zalmay Khalilzad, a Bush-appointed former ambassador to Afghanistan, Iraq and the United Nations. “My foreign policy will always put the interests of the American people and American security above all else,” he said. “It has to be first. Has to be. That will be the foundation of every single decision that I will make.” Trump’s “new direction” in American foreign policy was vague even by the standards of presidential campaigns. The U.S. approach to fighting IS will be “strong” under a Trump administration, he vowed, offering no indication of troop levels he might authorize. He intends to ease tensions with Russia while negotiating “from a position of strength,” but he wouldn’t say what that means for U.S. sanctions punishing Moscow for annexing Ukrainian territory. He said he’d balance America’s massive commercial deficit with China “quickly,” without a word about tariff policy or existing trade agreements.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lawmakers blast Valeant for price-gouging tactics WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawmakers accused Valeant Pharmaceuticals of gouging patients to reward Wall Street investors during a hearing Wednesday scrutinizing the embattled drugmaker’s pricing tactics. The blistering criticisms from Senate Republicans and Democrats came as Valeant’s outgoing CEO expressed regrets for the most egregious price increases, and a billionaire hedge fund investor defended the company’s business model. Valeant’s stock price surged for years, fueled by a strategy of gobbling up smaller companies and raising prices on niche drugs — bypassing the huge research and development investments typical of the drug industry. The company seemed
$700 per year to more than $10,000. The 30-year-old drug, Syprine, was acquired by Valeant in 2010 and has seen its price increase more than 3,000 percent. After her story appeared in the press, Valeant offered free medication and tried to deliver flowers. “I refused the flowers,” Heyman said. Ranking Democrat Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri, said executives with ties to Wall Street have driven the adoption of Valeant’s price-hiking tactics, including former hedge fund manager Martin Shkreli who became the poster-child for the issue last year. “It’s using patients as hostages, it’s immoral,” McCaskill said. “It hurts real people and it makes Americans very, very angry.”
to offer a cheaper, more reliable business model that made it a favorite with investors. But the company’s approach has drawn scrutiny from federal prosecutors, Congress and its own investors. Throughout the hearing, members of the Senate Committee on Aging laid into the Canadian drugmaker’s strategy of acquiring companies, slashing spending and jacking up prices. “Valeant’s monopoly model operates at the expense of real people,” said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, in her opening statement. Berna Heyman, a patient with a rare genetic disorder called Wilson’s Disease, testified that the co-pay on her medication increased from

Satirical ‘Special Correspondents’ debuts on Netflix BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Ron Miscavige, father of controversial Scientology leader David Miscavige, has tales to tell on “20/20” (10 p.m., ABC). Criticism of the younger Miscavige, cataloged in the 2015 HBO documentary “Going Clear,” based on a book by Lawrence Wright, has included charges of physical abuse of church members, forced separation of individuals from family members, coercive fund-raising practices and the harsh treatment of critics both in and outside of the Scientology family. David Miscavige has often savaged critics’ reputations, motivations and credibility. Ron Miscavige was a 40-year member of the Church of Scientology, joining the organization with his family in 1971. He was very active in the “Sea Organization,” a secretive group at the center of many of the most alarming allegations against the church. His book “Ruthless: Scientology, My Son David Miscavige, and Me” (St. Martin’s) will be published on May 3. • Does the truth matter when the story is well told? The feature-length comedy “Special Correspondents,” debuting today on Netflix, is the latest film to play with the power of media and illusion to deceive and illuminate. Eric Bana (“Munich”) stars as Frank Bonneville, a popular radio correspondent whose bombast has gotten in the way of his reputation. Seeking to jump-start his career, he takes an assignment to cover a rebel coup in Ecuador. But when his skittish technician Ian Finch (Ricky Gervais) loses their luggage and passports, they decide to fake their reportage from an apartment above a Spanish restaurant right across the street from their radio station. “Special Correspondents” was not made available for review. It sports a game cast, including Vera Farmiga (“Bates Motel”) as Finch’s wife; Kelly Macdonald (“Boardwalk Empire”) as the men’s radio producer; Kevin Pollak (“The Usual Suspects”) as their boss and America Ferrera (“Ugly Betty”) as the restaurant owner with no idea that the biggest media story of the
year is taking place on her property. Stories blending “real” and fake events are hardly new. The 2008 comedy “Tropic Thunder” comes to mind, as does “Wag the Dog,” the 1997 satire that seemed to spoof and, at the same time, predict a peculiar collision of media, politics, war and scandal. Such cynical confections are not unique to our time. In 1937, Carole Lombard and Fredric March starred in the great William Wellman screwball comedy “Nothing Sacred,” about a hard-boiled newspaperman and a Vermont maid involved in an elaborate hoax that grabs jaded New Yorkers by their heartstrings. A year later, a 23-year-old radio wizard named Orson Welles would inadvertently scare the pants off America with dramatized news reports of a Martian invasion of New Jersey. The strangest aspect of “Correspondents” is Gervais’ choice of medium. You practically have to go back to Welles’ “War of the Worlds” to find an example of breaking radio “news” holding the nation spellbound. Perhaps Gervais is trying to rekindle screwball comedy magic with this homage to radio days.

JEFF MACNELLY’S SHOE
Hypochondriac seeks cure for her fear of dying DEAR ABBY — I’m a hypochondriac. I am currently waiting on the biopsy results for a mole I had removed. Dear Abby Right now ABIGAIL I’m worried and miseraVAN BUREN ble. I feel guilty for what I’m putting my husband through. I want to get therapy, but doing that feels like admitting I’m too weak to handle my problems myself. My husband thinks he’s a bad husband because he can’t help me. This isn’t the first time I have worked myself up over a medical condition I may or may not have, and it won’t be the last. How can I deal with
JUMBLE THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME By David L Hoyt and Jeff Knurek
my fear of dying from something horrible without damaging my relationship with my husband? Can hypochondria be cured? It’s starting to take over my life. Hypochondriac in the South DEAR HYPOCHONDRIAC — It’s a wise person who seeks help for a problem that’s ruining the quality of his or her life. You should definitely discuss your fear of dying with a licensed mental health professional. To do that isn’t “weak” — it’s the opposite. DEAR ABBY — My son is getting married in the fall and we’re all looking forward to the celebration. There’s just one problem. My daughter will be in the wedding and the bridesmaids’ dresses are strapless. She will look beautiful in the
THE DAILY CROSSWORD PUZZLE
dress, but she adopted a “hippy lifestyle” a year ago and stopped shaving her armpits. The bride-to-be asked me how to approach her to request that she remove her armpit hair on the day of the wedding. Is there a tactful way to approach this without offending my daughter? Unsure in New Jersey DEAR UNSURE — I would discourage you from doing that. Although every bride wants her wedding to be “perfect,” there’s a point at which she must realize there are some things she can’t control. During a formal wedding ceremony, bridesmaids usually keep their arms down, so unless your daughter’s “pit hair” is so long she can braid it, it should not distract attention from the bride.

COMMENTARY
Trump’s world F
oreign policy does not determine American elections. Indeed, of all Western countries, we are the least interested in the subject. The reason is simple: We haven’t had to be. Our instinctive isolationism derives from our geographic exceptionalism. As Bismarck once explained (it is said), the Charles United States Krauthammer is the most fortunate of all Great Powers, bordered on two sides by weak neighbors and on the other two by fish. Two world wars, nuclear missiles and international terrorism have disabused us of the illusion of safety-by-isolation. You wouldn’t know it, though, from the Democratic presidential race where foreign policy has been treated as a nuisance, a distraction from such fundamental questions as whether $12 or $15 is the proper minimum wage. On the Republican side, however, foreign policy has been the subject of furious debate. To which Donald Trump has contributed significantly, much of it off-the-cuff, contradictory and confused. Hence his foreign policy speech on Wednesday. It was meant to make him appear consistent, serious and presidential. He did check off the required box — delivering a “major address” to a serious foreign policy outfit, the Center for the National Interest (once known as the Nixon Center). As such, it fulfilled a political need. As did its major theme, announced right at the top: America First. Classically populist and invariably popular, it is nonetheless quite fraught. On the one hand, it can be meaningless — isn’t every president trying to advance American interests? Surely Truman didn’t enter the Korean War for the sake of Koreans, but from the conviction that intervention was essential for American security. On the other hand, America First does have a history. In 1940, when Britain was fighting for its life and Churchill was begging for U.S. help, it was the name of the group most virulently opposed to U.S. intervention. It disbanded — totally discredited — four days after Pearl Harbor. The irony is that while President Obama would never use the term, it is the underlying theme of his foreign policy — which Trump constantly denounces as a series of disasters. Obama, like Trump, is animated by the view that we are overextended and overinvested abroad. “The nation that I’m most interested in building is our own,” declared Obama in his December 2009 West Point address on Afghanistan.
This is also the theme of Bernie Sanders. No great surprise. Left and right isolationism have found common cause since the 1930s. Socialist Party leader Norman Thomas often shared the platform with Charles Lindbergh at America First rallies. Both the left and right have a long history of advocating American retreat and retrenchment. The difference is that liberals want to come home because they think we are not good enough for the world. Conservatives want to wash their hands of the world because they think the world is not good enough for us. For Obama, we are morally unworthy to act as world hegemon. Our hands are not clean. He’s gone abroad confessing our various sins -- everything from the Iranian coup of 1953 to our unkind treatment of Castro’s Cuba to the ultimate blot, Hiroshima, a penitential visit to which Obama is currently considering. Trump would be rightly appalled by such a self-indicting trip. His foreign policy stems from a proud nationalism that believes that these recalcitrant tribes and nations are unworthy of American expenditures of blood and treasure. This has been the underlying view of conservative isolationism from Lindbergh through Pat Buchanan through Rand Paul. It is not without its attractions. Trump’s version, however, is inconsistent and often contradictory. After all, he pledged to bring stability to the Middle East. How do you do that without presence, risk and expenditures (financial and military)? He attacked Obama for letting Iran become a “great power.” But doesn’t resisting that automatically imply engagement? More incoherent still is Trump’s insistence on being unpredictable. An asset perhaps in real estate deals, but in a Hobbesian world American allies rely on American consistency, often as a matter of life or death. Yet Trump excoriated the Obama-Clinton foreign policy for losing the trust of our allies precisely because of its capriciousness. The tilt toward Iran. The red line in Syria. Canceling the East European missile defense. Abandoning Hosni Mubarak. Trump’s scripted, telepromptered speech was intended to finally clarify his foreign policy. It produced instead a jumble. The basic principle seems to be this: Continue the inexorable Obama-Clinton retreat, though for reasons of national self-interest, rather than of national self-doubt. And except when, with studied inconsistency, he decides otherwise. Charles Krauthammer’s email address is letters@charleskrauthammer.com. © 2016, The Washington Post Writers Group
Trump’s followers aren’t interested in ‘winning’ BY IAN TUTTLE
T
here will be blood. On Tuesday night, Donald Trump swept the “Acela Corridor” primaries — Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Rhode Island — and made it more likely than ever that he will be the Republican nominee. Next week’s Indiana primary is now truly a must-win contest for Ted Cruz. (It’s never a good sign when an event is being touted as your “Alamo.”) And even if Cruz can keep Trump from winning the nomination outright, taking the nomination from him at a contested convention is now far more difficult. But on Wednesday morning, Trump fans had pitchforks poised. Early in the day, Breitbart editor John Nolte, the Walter Duranty of pro-Trump propagandists, tweeted: “If Trump loses to Hillary . . . I will forever blame #NeverTrump,” referring to the movement of conservatives who have said they will not vote for Donald Trump in a general election under any circumstances. As a matter of psephology, he’s not wrong: Donald Trump will lose if people don’t vote for him. That’s how elections work. But as electoral strategy, Nolte is not exactly winning friends and influencing people. Consider as evidence the rest of his Twitter timeline, which is a running tirade against Trump opponents, variously described as “saboteurs,” “supremacists,” and “vote-thieves” suffering an acute case of
COMMENTARY “prideful butthurt.” In typical conspiracy-mongering fashion, Nolte says #NeverTrump adherents have “allied with Dems and MSM to destroy Trump in General” “to keep their spot at the trough,” or, elsewhere, to “retain their $$$.” It requires staggering self-deception to place the blame for a Trump generalelection defeat anywhere except where it would belong: squarely on the shoulders of Donald Trump. It’s not on account of a Twitter hashtag that the average polling spread for the last month has Clinton winning by 8.5 points, or that only five head-to-head polls in the last year projected that Trump would run better than Clinton (and even then only modestly). It’s not because of a handful of vocal conservatives that Trump’s unfavorable ratings started, when he announced last June, at 68 percent — and that they are at nearly the same place now. That’s on Donald Trump. And so would be a loss in November. Trump has unprecedented name recognition. He’s garnered some $1.9 billion in free publicity during this presidential cycle — more than six times as much as his closest competitor (Cruz). He has “Ten Billion Dollars” at his disposal. Trump has everything he needs to be president. If he can’t do it because there is a group of conservatives who are not interested in rallying around an untrustworthy liberal who mocks the handicapped and calls
women “pigs” — isn’t that his problem? Isn’t it Trump’s problem if a whole lot of conservatives think that women shouldn’t be punished for having abortions, that the president of the United states shouldn’t retweet white supremacists, and that American foreign policy shouldn’t be operated like a protection racket? If Donald Trump wants conservative votes, isn’t it his job to show that he represents conservatives? And if those conservatives won’t acquiesce, then Trump’s supporters can go out and find other people who will vote for him. That’s also how elections work. But Trump’s partisans won’t do that — because winning this election is not actually what they’re about. They’re not about “making America great again.” They’re sure as hell not about party unity. They’re about vengeance. They’re about crushing the conservatives they believe have betrayed them. They’re about tying the villains to the tracks and pushing the TrumpTrain™ full-steam ahead. If Trump is the nominee, it won’t matter what antiTrump conservatives do leading up to November. If Trump wins, his supporters will trot out the guillotine. If Trump loses, they’ll trot out the guillotine. They just want to see heads roll. This has been the animating impulse from the beginning. At the heart of the Trump phenomenon is a bloodthirst, and one way or another, there will be blood. Ian Tuttle is a National Review Institute Buckley Fellow in political journalism.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER PROVES EXAMPLE OF BIGGER PROBLEM This is concerning the letter to the editor on April 27, “Constituent encounters problem reaching senator about bill.” If I understand the problem, it seems that the person writing is responsible for her vet bills because she is “making above the poverty level and has to use private vet practices.” If she was below the poverty level then she could “get rabies vaccines, heart worm tests, deworming, etc. from a nonprofit entity,” or in other words, the services would be free.
Then I read Walter E. Williams commentary just above her editorial. It is titled “How we’ve become a nation of thieves.” How ironic. The answer to her situation. We have become a nation of taking care of those who will not take care of themselves. Anyone who works is expected to take care of those who won’t work. Those who have medical insurance are expected to pay the bill for those who do not have medical insurance. All those starving children need someone to pay for their food, even if their parents are getting food stamps,
or should I say SNAP? Of course, we need to supply toys for underprivileged children at Christmas. How about school supplies when school starts? It goes on and on. I know she is talking about Sen. Kevin Johnson and her opposition to his “S.C. Senate Bill 687.” However, someone has to pay for that “nonprofit entity,” and it would be asking too much for poor people to be responsible for their own pet bills. Anyone who would oppose his bill must be either a “racist” “bigot” or some other word of the day. I called two of our representatives
during the flag issue last year. Only one called me back. I didn’t take it personally. We’re getting ready for a presidential election. The way I see it is, one person wants to give away even more stuff while taxing the rich more, another one can break laws and her following sees nothing wrong with it. The third whines when he doesn’t get what he wants, and the fourth believes we should live by the constitution. Who best describes you? JACQUELINE K. HUGHES Sumter

CHICAGO — Jared Goff is moving down the West Coast to Los Angeles. Carson Wentz and his big right arm are moving from North Dakota to Philadelphia. It’s all about the quarterbacks at the top of the NFL draft. Lawson Goff went No. 1 overall to the Rams on Thursday night for their first pick since they moved to Los Angeles in the offseason, and Wentz was the No. 2 selection by the Eagles after a successful career at North Dakota State in the second tier of college football. “I’m taking it as an honor and something I’m going to have to prove them right, that they made the right decision,” Goff said. There was little doubt about the position of the top picks after Los Angeles and Philadelphia each made a big trade to get into the draft’s top two slots. It’s the second straight year two QBs were the first names off the board and the seventh time in the modern era of the draft since 1967. The early big slide was experienced by Mississippi offensive tackle Laremy Tunsi. Once one of the leading candi-

With a month left in the regular season, the Gamecocks are atop the Southeastern Conference and prepping for a weekend showdown with No. 1-ranked Florida. “We’ve bounced back,” Gamecocks outfielder Gene Cone said. “And we’re looking to get more wins.” South Carolina is 33-8 and have the SEC’s best league mark at 14-4, a game ahead of the Gators (13-5) in the Eastern Division.

But most of the damage was done much earlier. There was energy from the home fans at tipoff, and Boston did a decent job of matching it on defensive, forcing four early turnovers. The offensive end was another story. The Celtics started game by connecting on just four of its first 18 field goal attempts and shot 28 percent in the first half.

Pick
From Page B1 dates for the No. 1 pick before the trades, he slipped to Miami at No. 13 after a video posted to his Twitter account Thursday night showed someone apparently smoking marijuana out of a bong-gas mask contraption. “We’re trying to find out who did it,” Tunsil said. “I am not worried about that right now. I’m blessed.” The Browns, who traded the No. 2 pick to the Eagles last week, moved down again in the first major deal of the night, swapping selections with Tennessee. Then Chicago acquired the No. 9 pick in a trade with Tampa Bay, prompting chants of “Let’s go Bears! Let’s go Bears!” The Titans selected Michigan State offensive tackle Jack Conklin at No. 8 before the Bears grabbed Leonard Floyd, creating a bit of a lull in the proceedings with the Georgia linebacker not in attendance at the downtown Chicago theater. On the board again at No. 15, Cleveland stayed in place and drafted Baylor wide receiver Corey Coleman. After the QBs got their hats and exchanged pleasantries with Commissioner Roger Goodell, a pair of Ohio State stars made the stroll to the podium. San Diego grabbed defensive end Joey Bosa at No. 3 with the first real wild card of the night, and Dallas selected running back Ezekiel Elliott with the fourth pick. Cornerback Eli Apple went the New York Giants at No. 10, putting three Buckeyes in the top 10 for the first time in school history. When Detroit took OT Taylor Decker, Ohio State had four first-rounders. Elliott, who rushed for 1,878 yards last season, made quite a fashion statement when he showed off his midsection while walking the red carpet before the draft. But his dress shirt under his blue suit was in place by the time he was drafted by the Cow-

the docket. “We had a plan regardless of whether they were going to allow them or not,” Muschamp said. “In recruiting the No. 1 selling point we have is gameday. The No. 2 selling point is Columbia and our campus. I want as many players exposed to our campus as we can. Are we going to take advantage of being able to go out and evaluate players? Absolutely.” Charlotte, Atlanta and Jacksonville were sites of interest, Muschamp added. The remaining questions ranged from the defensive scheme to various position battles to Marcus Lattimore’s
USC
From Page B1 The Gamecocks, ranked as high as No. 2 in college baseball polls, look poised to gain a first-round host spot in NCAA Tournament play. If South Carolina keeps winning, it could wind up with a top-eight national seed. If that happens, the Gamecocks would be at home for the NCAA’s best-ofthree, super regional round. It seemed an unlikely prospect after last spring’s flop. “We’ve got some tough cookies on my team,” Holbrook said Thursday. The only thing tough last season was how badly the Gamecocks slid. The school has been a traditional baseball power and fans take a great sense of pride in the team’s success, with perhaps football only surpassing the sport in supporter interest. In 2015, the Gamecocks stumbled to a 32-25 mark after opening 17-3. They finished just 13-17 in the SEC and were left out when the field of 64 was announced. It was a bitter pill for South Carolina players to swallow with the program’s legacy of success with six College World

California’ quarterback Jared Goff wasves to the crowd after selected No. 1 overall in by the Los Angeles Rams in the NFL draft on Thursday. boys. “Dallas was definitely the place I wanted to go. It was like when I got to make my college decision,” Elliott said. Jacksonville stayed close to home with Florida State cornerback Jalen Ramsey at No. 5, and Baltimore strengthened its offensive line when it took Notre Dame tackle Ronnie Stanley. San Francisco, which took Oregon defensive lineman Arik Armstead in the first round a year ago, went back to the Ducks for DE DeForest Buckner. As the draft barreled toward the middle of the first round, UCLA linebacker Myles Jack kept tumbling down the board.
There is concern within the league about the health of Jack’s right knee. The Buccaneers opted for cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III with the 11th pick. Hargreaves grew up in the Tampa area and played at Florida. The 6-foot-4 Goff started every game during his three seasons at California and set school records with 977 completions, 12,220 yards passing and 96 touchdown passes. The Rams traded with Tennessee to get the pick. Tupac’s “California Love” took over the speakers at the downtown Chicago theater when Goff went No. 1. “It’s a good spot for me and
foundation and the conflict of interest it represented to the NCAA if he were to be hired by USC. There were a few lighthearted moments as well that drew laughter from the soldout crowd. Not known as much for one-liners as Spurrier was, Muschamp delivered one when asked what was the biggest lesson he learned at Florida that will make him a better coach at USC: “Score,” he said. USC women’s basketball head coach Dawn Staley was supposed to speak as well, but didn’t make it after a recruiting matter popped up. Former head baseball coach and current athletic director Ray Tanner came instead to introduce Muschamp and show his gratitude for the
work of the Gamecock Club as well. It was an anniversary of sorts for Tanner, who four years prior had been on the way to speak at the Gamecock Club in Sumter when USC president Harris Pastides told him he’d gotten the AD job. Muschamp thanked Tanner for the opportunity and also thanked Spurrier for an earlier endorsement as a head coach even before he got the Florida job -- one that was classic Spurrier. “I was at the National Football Foundation when I was a defensive coordinator at Texas,” Muschamp said. “We were at a banquet for one of our players getting the Draddy Award, which is the academic award. I was standing in the
Series appearances from 20022012 and title celebrations in 2010 and 2011. South Carolina sophomore Clarke Schmidt said players knew they could not dwell on the mistakes of last year if they hoped to step forward. “It’s about getting back to where we were,” he said. “We knew what we had to do.” Holbrook saw a difference in team chemistry at fall workouts and when the players began pre-season practice in January. “I know I’ve said this a lot, but we’re a close knit team,” he said. That’s helped South Carolina rally back from a few bad stretches. The Gamecocks lost two of three games early on to rival Clemson, then won 13 straight including sweeps of their first two SEC series over Arkansas and Ole Miss. After dropping two of three at Vanderbilt, South Carolina swept Tennessee. Following another 1-2 weekend at Georgia, the Gamecocks fought back once more with a sweep of Missouri last weekend. “We’ve got a lot of confidence,” Cone said. That’s certainly true of Cone, a junior outfielder who last weekend set South Caroli-
na’s hit streak mark at 27 straight games. He capped the streak, the longest current one in college baseball, by going 5-for-5 last Sunday. Cone’s not jinxing things, acting tight-lipped and changing topics when his streak is brought. “That’s about all I want to say about that,” he said, smiling. Holbrook said the team’s consistency has improved in large part because of its stable pitching rotation. Schmidt has been the team’s ace at 8-1 with a 2.04 earned-run average. The other two weekend starters in freshmen Braden Webb and Adam Hill are a combined 14-2 this season. “Usually, if you’re sitting here saying you’ve got two freshman and one sophomore in your weekend rotation, that’s not a great recipe for success in the SEC,” he said. “But we’ve had a lot of success because of how they pitched.” Florida starts a challenging closing stretch for the Gamecocks. They face SEC West Division leader and top-five team Texas A&M at home in two weeks with road trips to contenders Kentucky and Alabama in between.
for my family to come watch games,” Goff said. “Very excited to get down there and get to work.” Wentz led the Bison to their fifth consecutive FCS championship in January. He passed for 1,651 yards and 17 touchdowns during his senior year that was shortened by a broken right wrist. It’s the first opening-round quarterback for the Eagles since they grabbed Donovan McNabb with the No. 2 pick in the 1999 draft. “It’s exciting a team believes in me that much to go up and get me,” Wentz said. The Buffalo Bills addressed a significant pass-rushing need by selecting Clemson de-
fensive end Shaq Lawson with the 19th pick. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 269 pounds, Lawson was a consensus All-American last season in which he led the nation with 251/2 tackles for a loss and 121/2 sacks. Though relatively undersized for a defensive end, Lawson is regarded as a solid fit in an outside linebacker’s role because of his athleticism and versatility. An NFL draft scouting report referred to Lawson as being “built like a tank.” Lawson fills an immediate need on a defensive front seven that lost Mario Williams, who was cut last month.

three children born to Frances McCain Mitchell and the late Johnny B. Mitchell, and the grandson of the late Asberry and Sarah Jane McCain and Hamp and Ida Mitchell. He died on April 20, 2016. He received his formal education in the public school system and graduated from Ebenezer High School in Dalzell. In 1965, Robert decided to relocate to Port Chester, New York, to find employment. He worked for Life Saver Candy Co. and later he worked for a trucking company as a driver before becoming an entrepreneur, which was the joy of his life. There are so many things one could say about Robert but for those who knew him well knew that first and foremost was his love for his family as he always tried to be there for them. Robert had a genuine passion for the wellbeing of anyone he came across. He was a fun-loving person with a big heart of gold. His one and only sister was always the joy of his life.
Robert loved fishing and baseball. He leaves to cherish his memories: his loving mother, Frances L. Mitchell of Elmsford, New York; one brother, Herbert Mitchell (Elizabeth) of Sumter; one sister, Johnnie Emise Sinkler of Elmsford; one daughter, Vivian (John) Babalola of Houston, Texas; one stepdaughter, Tia Moore of Port Chester, New York; two grandchildren; one step-granddaughter; three nephews, Herbert Mitchell Jr., Darryl Mitchell and James Donnell Sinker; one favorite grandnephew, Jason Roach; two aunts, Queen (James) Washington of Wedgefield and Janet (Leon) Jones of Mocksville; and a host of other relatives and friends.
