Sheriff: Heroin resurfacing as popular drug

Efforts by local legislators on behalf of an 8-year-old New Zion girl to have the Columbian Mammoth named the official state fossil have taken yet another turn, as state senators returned the bill to the state House of Representatives with several amendments attached.

The amendments to the bill — which the house members can either agree with or non-concur, possibly requiring the legislation to be considered by a conference committee — have religious overtones and could force a moratorium on future state symbols.

“This simple thing has been turned into, shall we say, a ‘mammoth’ issue?” joked

Flower girls for the African Queens prepare to walk to an altar Saturday during the Sankofa Connection at Mt. Pisgah AME Church on West Bartlette Street.

Sankofa celebrates African cultures

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com (803) 774-1272 A sunny spring day matched the brightly-colored clothes and artwork on display Saturday at the annual Sankofa Connection festival.

Held outside Mt. Pisgah AME Church on West Bartlette Street, the 8th annual festival attracted a crowd with its celebration of African culture and history.

“Sankofa’s mission statement is to promote cultural awareness and stimulate historical learning,” said organizer Natalie Williams, dressed in a flowing white dress matching the multi-colored clothing of the event’s African Queens. “I also do Kwanzaa and Black History Month celebrations.”

Sankofa — the name comes from a word in the Akon language of Ghana meaning “remember the past to build the future” — featured performers who sang, recited poetry and told stories from the oral tradition. Vendors ringed the stage with a variety of wares, from clothes to paintings to the traditional homemade gourds offered

by Mary Anderson of Winnsboro.

“In Africa, gourds were the traditional containers people would eat from, so I thought

Singer Michelle Breaux sings “The Presence of the Lord is Here,” the theme of the Sankofa Connection festival celebrating African heritage on Saturday. they would fit right in here,” said Anderson, who sells items under the name MaNa’s Art. “My father’s aunt used gourds.

She used them to keep flour, rice, sugar. That’s where I picked it up.”

The highlight of Saturday’s event was the presentation of the African Queens, each one bearing a name of an historic African ruler, who opened the festival by pouring a ceremonial libation in honor of their ancestors.

“Our ancestors wanted to as-

sure us of a better life, and so we honor them,” Williams said, “Our ancestors, who lost their life in the motherland to the wilderness of North America during the slave trade.”

Saashalom I.M. Bey played Egyptian Queen Tiye in the opening ceremony. She and her fellow queens didn’t consider the dresses they wore for the occasion “costumes.”

“I dress like this every day.

It’s a lifestyle,” Bey said. “We love our culture, and there’s not really enough outlets for us to express it. That’s why we support all efforts to bring it to the community.”

None of the queens were provided with an outfit for the ceremony; the clothing choices came from each woman’s own wardrobe.

“They’re all people I know personally,” Williams said.

“They all have African clothes.”

Even though most of the attendees at the festival were black, some were attracted by the exotic feeling around Sankofa.

“I love African music, African attire, men’s and women’s,” said Bill Mack. “This is a chance to learn about the culture.”

“It’s our culture,” said Mack’s friend Fred Thompson. “It’s really like everybody’s culture now, because they’re all so entwined.”

It’s a way to honor a lost friend, and you can help.

The third annual Children’s Hope Bear Drive to benefit Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital is underway. Mary Koty, now a junior at Sumter High School, started the project after the death of Hugh “Bear” Gibbons, 7, died on Feb. 14, 2011, following a battle with a rare liver cancer.

“Hugh Gibbons — we always called him ‘Bear’ — had that moment when he was really scared going to the hospital until he knew he’d get a bear,” she said. “I know they run low on bears a lot, so I wanted them to have a constant supply coming in.”

Easter Bunny makes return for city egg hunt

BY IVY MOORE ivym@theitem.com The Easter Bunny will stop off in Sumter a week early this year, taking advantage of the morning hours to hide hundreds of eggs at Swan LakeIris Gardens. The Sumter County Recreation Department has persuaded the bunny to preside at its annual citywide Easter Egg Hunt for children ages 10 and younger on Saturday, April 12.

The department’s LaTrelle Chambers said the location for the 10 a.m. hunt has also been moved.

“It’s going to be in the Bland Gardens behind the gazebo,” (on the north side of Swan Lake), she said.

At 10 a.m., the hunt will begin, with

five areas marked off for different age groups: 2 and under, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, and 9 and 10.

Parents will be allowed to accompany children for the 2 of age and younger, and all children must be able to walk and pick up an egg.

The bunny hides plastic eggs, which are redeemable for candy.

“We’re also having five additional contests for each of those same age groups,” Chambers said, “and we’ll have some nice prizes.”

Competitions are: • 2 and under, Best Easter Bonnet or Cap; • 3 and 4, Best Decorated Tricycle or Bicycle; • 5 and 6, Best Decorated Bicycle;

• 7 and 8, Best Decorated Easter Egg; and • 9 and 10, Best Decorated Easter Hat or Cap In addition to hiding eggs, the Easter Bunny will stay around to visit with the children, Chambers said, adding “Don’t forget your Easter baskets and cameras.”

The Sumter County Recreation Department, the Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club, SAFE Kids Sumter County and the Tuomey Foundation co-sponsor the annual Easter Egg Hunt beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday at Swan Lake-Iris Gardens. Participation is free for children up to age 10, who should be accompanied by an adult guardian. For more information, call (803) 436-2249.

LOCAL BRIEF FROM STAFF REPORTS

Man shot Saturday; police search for suspect Sumter police are investigating after a man was shot Saturday afternoon.

Police responded to the 300 block of Manning Avenue after witnesses reported hearing gunfire about 2:45 p.m. A short time later, a man checked himself into Tuomey Regional Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the lower leg. The injury is not thought to be life-threatening.

Details were sparse late Saturday, as the victim was reportedly uncooperative with police, and it was unclear who shot the man, where or why.

Orangeburg lawmaker seeks to upset GOP in U.S. Senate race

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com (803) 774-1272 For months, the talk around South Carolina’s Senate race has focused on incumbent Sen. Lindsey Graham and the challenge he will face from multiple opponents in the Republican primary. The main story of the election has been whether the state’s senior senator could lose his own party’s nomination for re-election.

But in the last week of the candidate filing periHUTTO od in March, longtime state Sen. Brad Hutto (D-Orangeburg) filed to run for Graham’s seat as a Democrat, adding a more high-profile challenger to the ballot than had emerged so far in the campaign. And in announcing his candidacy, Hutto has set his sights on Graham’s reputation as a foreign policy expert.

“I understand there’s a foreign policy role for a U.S. senator, but a senator also has a role at home,” Hutto said.

“He wants to talk about Syria, I want to talk about Spartanburg or Sumter.”

The Orangeburg attorney is in his fifth term in the Senate, representing portions of six counties in the lower part of the state. He boasts a 100 percent rating from the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce and plans to campaign on the economy and improving employment in parts of the state hardest hit by the recession.

“I’ll focus on job recruitment in rural areas,” he said.

“For a long time, those counties were dependent on agriculture, timber and in the

upper part of the state, mills.

Those jobs are gone, but we’ve got an opportunity now to bring some of that back.”

He faults politics and gridlock for neglecting the state’s infrastructure problems, from crumbling roads to challenges facing the port of Charleston and especially the state’s failing schools. A member of the Senate Education Committee, Hutto plans to promote education as key to the state’s future development and economic security.

“That’s something I’ve been vocal on for many years,” he said. “My focus will be on South Carolina.”

WHY, AFTER 17 YEARS IN THE STATE SENATE, DO YOU WANT TO JUMP INTO A RACE FOR THE U.S. SENATE? In politics, timing is everything. First, you only get a chance to run for the Senate every so often, and this time you have a very contentious primary on the Republican side, which creates an opportunity for a Democrat to win that seat. The Democratic Party has had some strong candidates recently in Judge (Alex) Sanders and Inez Tenenbaum, and this is a good chance to move the state forward.

WHAT KIND OF CONTRAST DO YOU WANT TO DRAW BETWEEN GRAHAM AND YOURSELF?

here at home. I remember when we had Fritz Hollings and Strom Thurmond representing South Carolina’s interests on both sides. I want to focus on improving our infrastructure and on bringing jobs to South Carolina.

DO THE SIX REPUBLICAN CHALLENGERS, MANY OF THEM AFFILIATED WITH THE TEA PARTY, TILT THE CAMPAIGN AWAY FROM YOUR MESSAGE? MANY OF THEM ALMOST THINK GRAHAM IS THE DEMOCRAT IN THE RACE. I’m not someone who can explain the Republican mindset. They’ve set up an intramural fight between the more traditional Republican or a more fanatical, right-wing direction. (Graham) has a host of folks running against him, most of them to his right, which somewhat skews things. I’m running with a more middle-of-the-road message. I believe there is a role for government to play in our lives, and some of them seem to think the best government is no government.

WILL ALL THOSE CHALLENGERS DAMAGE GRAHAM IN THE GENERAL ELECTION? I think that’s true. I know a Libertarian candidate has

filed, and some others may file. But I’m looking first to the Democratic primary.

After that, I could be leading a united Democratic Party versus a splintered Republican Party in the general election, and that gives me a real chance to win.

DO YOU THINK LINDSEY GRAHAM COULD LOSE THE PRIMARY, AND YOU’LL END UP RUNNING AGAINST ONE OF HIS GOP CHALLENGERS? One might win, but I’m also prepared to run against the incumbent. He’s going to have to go through a tough battle in a very acrimonious primary. But that’s not the only reason I’m running. I’m running because I think the voters deserve to have a choice.

YOU ALSO FACE A PRIMARY OPPONENT, COLUMBIA BUSINESSMAN JAY STAMPER. WHAT CONTRAST DO YOU PLAN TO DRAW BETWEEN YOURSELF AND HIM? I’ve never met my opponent, but he can put up his record, and I’ll put up mine. I have a record of winning elections in rural South Carolina. I’ve won five races now overwhelmingly, and I’ve had a leadership role in the state Senate for several years now.

So I’m going to run on my record.

AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF REPUBLICAN CONTROL, IS THIS A SEAT A DEMOCRAT CAN WIN? I can tell you one thing for sure: I wouldn’t have filed if I didn’t think I can win. There are real issues where I can draw a strong contrast with whoever the Republican nominee is, because some of the issues they seem to want to focus on do not resonate with voters’ real concerns.

HOW CAN YOU RETURN THE KIND OF ECONOMIC GROWTH YOU’VE TALKED ABOUT TO THE STATE’S SMALLER COUNTIES? We’ve done a great job attracting big industries like Boeing and BMW, but we need to bring some small manufacturing centers to our rural counties. The tire plant in Sumter is something that can bring those kinds of jobs to some rural counties.

We can get jobs in these areas if we talk about them and get businesses to come there. Where we have the highest unemployment rates are in the rural counties, and that’s not going to go away unless we work to make it go away.

I see him on the Sunday talk shows talking about what’s going on overseas in this country or that, and I understand that’s a role for a U.S. senator to deal with our relations with other countries. But he’s not the junior Secretary of State. We’ve got needs we have to deal with

ROLL CALL WASHINGTON (AP) — Here’s how area members of Congress voted on major issues in the week ending April 4.

HOUSE GOP CHANGES TO HEALTH LAW: By a vote of 248 for and 179 against, the House on April 3 passed a Republican bill (HR 2575) to raise from 30 to 40 the number of hours worked each week, on average, to meet the Affordable Care Act’s definition of “full-time employee.” The definition is important because under the ACA, companies with at least 50 employees become subject next year to financial penalties based on the number of full-time workers (or “fulltime equivalents”) they fail to insure with health policies that meet ACA standards for breadth of coverage, affordability and other criteria. By contrast, companies face no health-insurance obligations under the ACA for part-time employees. By redefining “full-time” to exclude individuals working 30 to 39 hours per week, the bill reduces the number of employees entitled to company-provided coverage. And this, in turn, would reduce the sum total of financial penalties paid by companies for violating the ACA’s employer mandate.

Supporters said the bill would protect paychecks by removing an incentive for employers to reduce hours in order to avoid ACA penalties.

But the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said the bill would cause about one million people to lose employer-provided health coverage each year while increasing budget deficits by $73.7 billion during 10 years as a result, in part, of employers paying fewer penalties for violating the employer mandate.

A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, where it is likely to die.

VOTE H-1 slugged HEALTH SOUTH CAROLINA Voting yes: Mark Sanford, R-1, Joe Wilson, R-2, Jeff Duncan, R-3, Trey Gowdy, R-4, Mick Mulvaney, R-5, Tom Rice, R-7 Voting no: James Clyburn, D-6 Not voting: None

GENDER BIAS, PRE-EXISTING

CONDITIONS: Voting 191 for and 232 against, the House on April 3 defeated a Democratic bid to bar HR 2575 (above) from taking effect if it would repeal popular Affordable Care Act features such as the law’s bans on gender discrimination and coverage denials based on pre-existing conditions.

Mark Takano, D-Calif., said, “Republicans need to get with the program. It is over. Their sorry attempts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act must come to an end.”

Dave Camp, R-Mich., said the purpose of the underlying bill “is really to address the problems of Obamacare, which have reduced hours and reduced wages for workers in America.”

A yes vote was to keep the Affordable Care Act intact.

VOTE H-2 slugged GENDER SOUTH CAROLINA Voting yes: Clyburn Voting no: Sanford, Wilson (SC), Duncan (SC), Gowdy, Mulvaney, Rice (SC) Not voting: None

U.S. SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE: Voting 378 for and 34 against, the House on April 1 sent the White House a bill (HR 4152) authorizing at least $50 million in direct U.S. aid to Ukraine for purposes such as strengthening its governmental and civic institutions and helping it prepare for elections this year. The bill also approves $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees for Ukraine; provides $100 million to promote political and economic reforms in eastern and central Europe; expands and codifies U.S. economic sanctions on Russian leaders and financial institutions; and empowers the U.S. departments of State and Justice to help Ukraine recover assets allegedly stolen by Viktor Yanukovych, its recently ousted president. The bill cuts U.S. aid to Pakistan to pay for itself.

No member spoke against the bill.

A yes vote was to send the bill to President Obama.

VOTE H-3 slugged UKRAINE SOUTH CAROLINA Voting yes: Wilson (SC), Clyburn Voting no: Sanford, Duncan (SC), Gowdy, Mulvaney, Rice (SC) Not voting: None

‘DYNAMIC SCORING’ BUDGET DOCTRINE: Voting 224 for and 182 against, the House on April 4 passed a GOP bill (HR 1874) requiring the Congressional Budget Office to add “dynamic scoring” to its tools for forecasting the impact of proposed legislation on U.S. economic growth. A tenet of supply-side economics, dynamic scoring holds that tax and spending cuts always pay for themselves by stimulating economic activity.

But the CBO, reflecting the views of mainstream economists, does not recognize dynamic scoring as empirically valid, and instead uses what is known as “static scoring” to forecast economic impacts.

Tom McClintock, R-Calif., said, “For too long, Congress has blundered from one economic policy to another with its eyes wide shut.”

David Cicilline, D-R.I., said it was wrong to change “the rules that our independent umpire, the Congressional Budget Office, uses” to project economic impacts.

A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, where it is likely to die.

SENATE EXTENDED UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS: Voting 61 for and 35 against, the Senate on April 3 advanced a bipartisan bill (HR 3979) to restore jobless benefits that expired in late December for millions of the long-term unemployed.

The bill would be retroactive to Dec. 28 and last through May 31. A final vote on the bill was to be held the following week.

A yes vote was to advance the bill toward a final vote the following week.

Don’t sacrifice to succeed with your health goals

S

ometimes the journey seems too difficult and the goal unattainable. The feeling that you can’t really do it and you may as well give up or not even try hangs on your every thought. Even with the support of family and friends, it is not enough.

With a desire to stop at nothing to succeed, the experience might not be what you expect.

A 28-yearold Missy woman grew up Corrigan in a household that required her to “clean her plate” at every meal, often sitting at the table for close to two hours. “I wouldn’t eat all day at school because I was so full from breakfast, and I wanted to make sure I was hungry enough to finish my dinner so I could watch TV or play outside with my friends,” she said.

Overweight since her teens, she gained an additional 25 pounds within her first semester at college. “I went crazy being on my own. I snacked all the time and ate whatever, whenever.” Topping out at 238 pounds on a 5-foot frame, she decided to hire a personal trainer.

She said, “I chose a trainer I wanted to look like and I thought that was going to make me successful. When that failed, I failed.”

TIPS FOR SUCCESS • Establish healthy habits early; • Seek help from professionals; and • Connect with a trainer/coach you relate to.

Learning that she was only 15 pounds away from being a candidate for gastric bypass surgery, she was in shock. “I was initially upset but then quickly became inspired to eat everything in sight to gain the weight so I could have the surgery.

Although it was wrong, it seemed to be the quickest and easiest way to my goal at the time,” she said.

After two years, she had only lost 15 pounds. “That 15 pounds was the weight I forced myself to put on.

For the next four years, I suffered from severe depression and anxiety and developed an eating disorder. I would go through periods of starvation because I was so angry at food to periods of consuming everything in sight and making myself sick.”

Today, she is on track to reclaim her health and well-being. She states, “By seeking out a trainer who has lived the transformation I want, I am able to learn from her experiences and apply the techniques and strategies that she has used for herself so that I can be just as successful. If there is anything that I can share, it is that there is no true easy way to achieve your goals.”

FESTIVAL FROM PAGE A1 the Santee Cooper Project a generation ago that turned a stretch of the Santee River into Lake Marion that floats their boats. The filling of the lake turned this corner of South Carolina into a fisherman’s paradise, and each year the locals express their gratitude to the fish that attract anglers from near and far.

Jimmy and Pam Cutler said they have probably been to the parade all 35 years.

“We just like to come out and watch things we haven’t seen in a while,” Pam Cutler said as they sat in the back of their pickup waiting for the parade to pass.

The parade itself did not disappointment. A line of floats, bands, dancers, beauty queens, Shriners, political candidates, tractor dealers and church groups all rolled or strolled past the throng of people lining the streets.

Much more was going on than just a parade, however.

A few blocks away, past the looming county courthouse besieged on three sides by an army of vendors, Mike Hill of Effingham was shining up his ’68 Mustang in a parking lot full of gleaming vintage automobiles in the car show.

“This is my first time showing,” he said. “I thought it would be great time to do a little driving.”

Annette Childers and Libby Barfield took some time out from camping on the lake and came into Manning to watch the parade. “We’ve been camping and doing a little shell fishing. The parade is real nice.”

With the smell of barbecue and kettle corn wafting in the breeze, Hoss Overton of Summerton said he had been to almost all the Striped Bass Festival Parades.

“I missed last year,” he said over the roar of a pack of motorcycles passing by in the parade. “It may have been better a few years ago.”

Al Witherspoon of Red Hill was busy dishing out Sugar Hill Barbecue.

“My daddy, James Conyers, was doing it for 57 years, till he died,” Witherspoon said, “I’ve been doing it for two or three.”

As he offered a sample, Witherspoon said he sells the barbecue at events all around the area.

After the parade passed by, the streets of Manning slowly began to clear.

Parades may be a thing of the past in some locales, but the people of Clarendon County still feel the need to celebrate and probably will for a long time.

Even if not a single school of bass ever chooses to participate.

‘We’re all paying:’ Heroin spreads misery in U.S.

BY AMY FORLITI, DAN SEWELL AND NIGEL DUARA Associated Press Writers On a beautiful Sunday last October, Detective Dan Douglas stood in a suburban Minnesota home and looked down at a lifeless 20-year-old — a needle mark in his arm, a syringe in his pocket. It didn’t take long for Douglas to realize that the man, fresh out of treatment, was his second heroin overdose that day.

“You just drive away and go, ‘Well, here we go again,’” says the veteran cop.

In Butler County, Ohio, heroin overdose calls are so common that the longtime EMS coordinator likens the situation to “coming in and eating breakfast — you just kind of expect it to occur.” A local rehab facility has a six-month wait. One school recently referred an 11-year-old boy who was shooting up intravenously.

Sheriff Richard Jones has seen crack, methamphetamine and pills plague his southwestern Ohio community but calls heroin a bigger scourge. Children have been forced into foster care because of addicted parents; shoplifting rings have formed to raise money to buy fixes.

“There are so many residual effects,” he says. “And we’re all paying for it.”

Heroin is spreading its misery across America. And communities everywhere are indeed paying.

The death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman spotlighted the reality that heroin is no longer limited to the back alleys of American life. Once mainly a city phenomenon, the drug has spread — gripping postcard villages in Vermont, middle-class enclaves outside Chicago, the sleek urban core of Portland, Ore., and places in between and beyond.

Cocaine, painkillers and tranquilizers are all used more than heroin, and the latest federal overdose statistics show that in 2010 the vast majority of drug overdose deaths involved pharmaceuticals, with heroin accounting for less than 10 percent. But heroin’s escalation is troubling.

Last month, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called the 45 percent increase in heroin overdose deaths between 2006 and 2010 an “urgent and growing public health crisis.”

In 2007, there were an estimated 373,000 heroin users in the U.S. By 2012, the number was 669,000, with the greatest increases among those 18 to 25. First-time users nearly doubled in a six-year period ending in 2012, from 90,000 to 156,000.

Experts note that many users turned to heroin after a crackdown on prescription drug “pill mills” made painkillers such as OxyContin harder to find and more costly. It’s killing because it can be extremely pure or laced with other powerful narcotics.

That, coupled with a low tolerance once people start using again after treatment, is catching addicts off guard.

In hard-hit places, police, doctors, parents and former users are struggling to find solutions and save lives.

“I thought my suburban, middle-class family was immune to drugs such as this,” says Valerie Pap, who lost her

A drug addict prepares a needle to inject himself with heroin in front of a church in the Skid Row area of Los Angeles. The death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman in February spotlighted the reality that heroin is no longer limited to the back alleys of American life. Once mainly a city phenomenon, the drug has spread to the country and suburbs.

HEROIN USE IN SOUTH CAROLINA COLUMBIA (AP) — Some states are reporting a rise in heroin use as many addicts shift from more costly and harder-to-get prescription opiates to this cheaper alternative.

THE ISSUE: In South Carolina, it appears that problems with alcohol or cocaine and marijuana far outstrip heroin addictions, according to figures compiled by the Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services.

THE NUMBERS: The state Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services’ figures covering the 10 years from 2003 to 2012 show, for example, that in 2012

there were 27,344 people who entered a treatment center in the state where their primary problem was with alcohol, or other drugs, and needed treatment.

Of those, 398 people identified their primary problem as heroin. The most people — 15,410 — reported alcohol as their primary problem; 6,150 people reported marijuana and 1,591 reported cocaine or crack as their primary problem.

In 2003, for example, the agency’s numbers show 430 people entered treatment centers with heroin as their primary problem. Some 13,993 people entered and reported alcohol as their primary problem, and 4,726

people reported marijuana and 3,648 people reported the problem to be cocaine or crack.

The numbers of deaths due to heroin overdose are compiled from death certificates by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. The statistics DHEC supplied go back to 1999.

That year, two people in the state died from a heroin overdose, compared with nine the following year. The numbers remained in single digits through 2008, when eight deaths were attributed to heroin overdoses. Since then, no more than 15 people died in any single year because of a heroin overdose.

“You just don’t win with heroin,” Douglas told the crowd. “You die or you go to jail.”

It was the third such forum held over two weeks in Anoka County, home to 335,000 people north of Minneapolis.

Since 1999, 55 Anoka County residents have died from heroin-related causes. Only one other Minnesota county reported more heroin-related

deaths — 58 — and it has a population three-and-a-half times greater than Anoka’s.

Five years ago, county officials were focused on stamping out meth labs. Then investigators noticed a climb in pharmacy robberies, and started finding Percocet and OxyContin during routine marijuana busts.

As prescription drug abuse rose, so, too, did crackdowns aimed at shutting down pill mills and increasing tracking of prescriptions and pharmacy-hopping pill seekers. Users turned to heroin. “It hit us in the face in the form of dead bodies,” says Douglas.

Authorities are working to

IN MINNESOTA: TAKING THE MESSAGE TO THE MASSES The night before Valentine’s Day, some 250 people filed into a church in Spring Lake Park, Minn. There were moms and dads of addicts, as well as children whose parents brought them in hopes of scaring them away from smack.

From the stage, Dan Douglas gripped a microphone as a

educate doctors about the dangers of overprescribing painkillers and are fighting to get heroin off the streets. The idea for the forums came not from police but rather from Pap, a third-grade teacher whose youngest son died of a heroin overdose.

Tanner graduated from high school with honors. In the fall of 2012, he was pursuing a psychology degree at the University of Minnesota, and dreamed of becoming a drug counselor. He had not, to his mother’s knowledge, ever used drugs — and certainly not heroin.

Then one day Tanner’s roommates found the 21-yearold unconscious in his bedroom.

Amid her grief, Pap realized something needed to be done to educate others. She met with county officials, and soon after the community forums were developed. At each, Pap shared her family’s story.

“Our lives have been forever changed,” she told the crowd in Spring Lake Park.

“Heroin took it all away,”

IN OHIO: OD ANTIDOTE HELPS SAVE SOME Brakes screech. The hospital door flies open. A panicked voice shouts: “Help my friend!” An unconscious young man, in the throes of a heroin overdose, is lifted onto a gurney.

It’s known as a “drive-up, drop-off,” and it’s happened repeatedly at Ohio’s Fort Hamilton Hospital. The staff’s quick response and a dose of naloxone, an opiate-reversing drug, bring most patients back. Some are put on ventilators. A few never revive.

“We’ve certainly had our share of deaths,” says Dr. Marcus Romanello, head of the ER. “At least five died that I am acutely aware of ... because I personally cared for them.”

Romanello joined the hospital about two years ago, just as the rise of heroin was becoming noticeable in Hamilton, a blue-collar city of 60,000 people. Now it seems to be reaching into nearly every part of daily life.

“If you stood next to somebody and just started a conversation about heroin, you’d hear: ‘Oh yeah, my nephew’s on heroin. My next-door neighbor’s on heroin,’” says Candy Murray Abbott, who helped her own 27-year-old son through withdrawal.

Kiddie couch potatoes: The lost art of reading

A

newspaper once carried the following classified: “For Sale: Complete set of encyclopedias, an atlas, almanacs. Never used. Teenage son knows everything.”

What parent can’t relate to that? Sooner or later, during the “parenting process,” as the psychobabblers call it, those who have the responsibility of “raisin’ chillun” will have to contend with a child who thinks Bruce Springsteen’s howling is much to be preferred over the sonnets of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, or curfews belong in the Dark Ages. And if certain clothes don’t have the correct “name” brand, they aren’t worthy of covering their bodies.

You’ve heard this drill before. Eventually, a kid will become a teenager, and during his or her adolescence will acquire the wisdom of the ages.

After college, perhaps long after, the young adult will begin to realize his parents may be as smart and savvy as he is.

Today’s kids are probably

COMMENTARY more savvy in some respects than my generation was, thanks or no thanks to the pervasive influence of television. The youngster hooked on MTV can give you the name, rank and serial number of every member of the Rolling Stones or Twisted SisHubert D. ter or any of Osteen Jr. the various and sundry freak shows that caterwaul their way to fame and fortune.

Yet as savvy as today’s kids think they are, few know who Little Richard is, and fewer still have any ideas about Douglas MacArthur or Babe Ruth — who they are and what they did.

Take Babe Ruth, for example. To a generation of kids growing up in the ’20s and ’30s, Babe Ruth was the most Herculean sports figure who

ever trod the earth. Those familiar with the heroics of, say, a Reggie Jackson probably have no idea that Babe Ruth not only hit more home runs than Reggie but also had a better batting average.

Muhammad Ali was the most famous sports figure in the world during his heyday but Babe Ruth was even more familiar to the world, despite living in an era without television. A kid with some real curiosity should bone up on the Babe. He’s one of the most fascinating, larger-thanlife personalities I’ve ever read about. Even 44 years after his death, those who purport to know something about baseball and don’t know anything about Babe Ruth — they don’t know baseball.

But aside from sports and pop music, there’s so much more today’s modern kid doesn’t take the time to find out about. And he’s missing so much.

Most kids are very familiar with the tough cop portrayed in the Clint Eastwood “Dirty

Harry” movies, but few know of Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett and how they practically invented the hard-boiled detective fiction that gave us Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe. Those guys didn’t blow people away with .44 magnums, but they were still plenty tough as created in the matchless prose styles of Chandler and Hammett.

Their works also found their way onto the silver screen in such hard-boiled classics as “The Maltese Falcon,” “The Thin Man” and “The Big Sleep.”

If today’s national political leaders seem uninspiring as well as uninteresting, I’d advise the modern kid to look up some biographies of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, or even Huey “The Kingfish” Long, the Louisiana boss who was gunned down in the statehouse he built. Those were characters who were larger than life in so many respects, even more so than Mick Jagger or Michael Jordan.

Educators and social scien-

tists decry the lack of understanding today’s kids have about geography — where’s Mexico? — for example. But there is so much else they don’t know about the dynamics of our nation and its fabric as woven together by the multitude of intensely interesting characters who’ve walked across the stage of American history, and good or bad, helped write it.

Finding out all this fascinating folklore takes some effort.

It’s called reading. That’s harder than watching MTV or listening to Phil Collins. But it’s sure more rewarding.

There’s a difference between being savvy and being, if not wholly educated, at least knowledgeable.

Sure, it’s okay to be savvy, but today’s well-rounded kid who knows who Pee Wee Herman is should also be able to identify Jack Benny.

When a kid can do that, the aforementioned classified ad won’t be needed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR First, the Panama Canal, now the Internet? Are we stupid?

In 1904, the United States took over building the Panama Canal from France who had failed miserably. In ten years, the canal was open for business. American ingenuity gets things done. In 1904, the U.S. paid $40 million for France’s canal construction, plus $250,000 per year to Panama.

In 1977 President Carter signed over America’s control of the canal to Panama, which took effect in 1999. The U.S. still spends billions of dollars on the canal even though we gave it away. More than 100,000 people died building the canal. We spend billions, lose lives and give away the Panama Canal.

The Internet got its start 50 years ago in the United States during the Cold War. Again, many Americans have invested great amounts of time and money for the Internet to be as successful as it is in so many ways. The Internet has encouraged free speech, political involvement and freedom on many topics. Now, President Obama talks of relinquishing our control over it to other countries, some of whom would certainly deter people’s freedoms. If it works well as it is, why change it? Are we that stupid?

PAUL GREER Sumter

Obama doesn’t care what the Constitution states Mr. Baten, the economy began declining when Democrats seized control of both the House and Senate at the beginning of President Bush’s third year of

his second term. Democrats held that majority for the final two years of the Bush presidency and the first two years of President Obama’s first term.

They controlled the government for four years, passed no annual budget, set spending records and accomplished little more than blaming President Bush and the GOP for everything.

President Obama promised to eliminate pork spending as president, yet the first bill he signed into law was the nearly $1 trillion tax dollar-funded stimulus bill you spoke of, which contained over 7,000 pieces of DNC pork. Obama claimed to have “created/saved” millions of jobs but often claimed more jobs at companies than there were employees (Over 92 million Americans are no longer in the labor force now, sir.)

He had to admit to Americans there is no such thing as “shovelready” projects. Obama set monthly, annual and total deficitspending records, contributing to more than $6 trillion added to the deficit in only four years — more debt added than every president from Washington to Clinton combined. Any gain Obama made from this fiscally irresponsible spending bill was completely wiped out by the Affordable Care Act, a non-representative law based on lies that cost millions of Americans their jobs, insurance plans and doctors.

Criticism of those calling for impeachment come from ultrapartisan Americans whose loyalty belongs to one man, one party, rather than to this nation and from those who either do

not know — or as in Obama’s case — do not care what the Constitution states. Consistently lying, Fast-and-Furious, the DOJ illegally spying on the AP, the NSA illegally spying on Americans, using the IRS to target his political enemies, aiding Islamic extremists/terrorists, continuously violating the Constitution, no less than four ongoing scandal investigations — this is not “envy,” Mr. Baten.

This is a call to hold our elected officials accountable to a standard established within the Constitution, a document no American — not even President Obama — is above.

More traffic lights should be considered for Alice Drive Since construction on Alice Drive is expected to continue for many months, traffic on North Guignard between Wise Drive and Gion Street has been and will be a big problem, especially at early morning, lunch and “going home” hours. I live between those two intersections and traffic can back up for 15-30 minutes because of the four-way stops. School buses even stop between those streets. Please consider permanent traffic lights at those intersections. It is dangerous since impatient drivers try to “bluff their way” out of turn and others don’t seem to know when it is their turn.

If money is a problem, maybe this should be the first project for “Pennies for Progress.”

MAMMOTH FROM PAGE A1 Rep. Robert Ridgeway, DManning, primary sponsor of the bill.

Fossils of the Columbian Mammoth were first discovered in South Carolina in 1725, and those remains are considered to be the first time there was a scientific identification of a vertebrate fossil in North America.

Archeologists have said the ancestors of the Columbia Mammoth could have entered North America as many as 1.8 million years ago, and the study of these fossils piqued the interest of 8-year-old Olivia McConnell. The young student took the time to write her legislators, requesting South Carolina declare this long-extinct animal to be named the state fossil. The naming of state symbols has been a common practice for legislators to promote on behalf of school children, and in 2009, an effort by students at Alice Drive Elementary School led to the Northern Right Whale being named the State Migratory Marine Mammal.

So, back in January, after receiving the letter from their young constituent, both Ridgeway and state Sen. Kevin Johnson, DManning, introduced bills to the general assembly supporting the effort.

A month after the recent legislation was introduced, the state House of Representatives was the first to

act, and by a 94-to-3 vote, the proposal calling for a 13-word line to be inserted into the state Code of Laws — “The Columbian Mammoth is designated as the official State Fossil of South Carolina” — was approved.

Then the state Senate got a hold of the proposal.

Once the bill reached the senate floor, after a month in committee, state Sen. Kevin Bryant, R-Anderson, attempted to amend the proposal by adding a Biblical passage — Genesis 1:24-25 — which describes how God made the creatures on the land. This motion, however, was ruled not to be germane to the bill and was not allowed, prompting state Sen. Mike Fair, R-Greenville, to place an objection to the bill in its entirety.

The next week, Fair removed his objection, only for Bryant to then force another amendment, this time requiring the legislation to read: “The Columbian Mammoth, which was created on the Sixth Day with the other beasts of the field, is designated as the official State Fossil of South Carolina and must be officially referred to as ‘the Columbian Mammoth’, which was created on the Sixth Day with the other beasts of the field.”

The extended debate over the bill apparently prompted Senate Majority Leader Harvey Peeler, R-Gaffney, to add his own amendment, re-

PEARLINE McCOY Pearline McCoy, daughter of the late Geneva Plowden and Archie Williams, of 237 E. Calhoun St., died on the morning of April 5, 2014.

Funeral arrangements are incomplete and will be announced by Sumter Funeral Services Inc. The family will receive friends at the home of her granddaughter Teresa Toney at 78 Mood Ave., Sumter.

KENNETH C. SCHMIDT Kenneth C. Schmidt, 52, died Friday, April 4, 2014, at the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, after a lengthy illness.

Born in Camden, N.J., he was the son of Margaret Geair Schmidt and the late Charles W. Schmidt.

Mr. Schmidt lived in East Brunswick, N.J., prior to coming to South Carolina in 1990.

He was self-employed, doing home improvements under the name of Remodeling Concepts.

He was an avid sportsman, who loved fishing, hunting, camping, taking long rides on his Harley Davidson and spending time with his great friends.

Surviving are his mother; a daughter, Sabrina Ann Schmidt and fiance Brett Davis; a sister, Kathie L. (Thomas) Gilliland; a nephew, David T. Gilliland; a niece, Sandra (Juan) Rivera; a greatnephew, Mason; a great-niece, Ariella; and his faithful companion, Spooks.

Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday in the Elmore Hill McCreight Funeral Home with the Rev. Steve Hendricks officiating.

Online condolences may be sent to www.sumterfunerals. com.

Elmore Hill McCreight Funeral Home & Crematory, 221 Broad St., Sumter is in charge of the arrangements. (803) 775-9386.

JAKE SINKLER Jake Sinkler was born in Sumter on July 5, 1942, to the late John Henry and Lucille Pringle Sinkler. He departed this life on March 30, 2014, at Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center, Brooklyn, N.Y. Survivors include three daughters, Viola Sinkler of Tampa, Fla., Ernesteen L. Sinkler and Lucille Sinkler-Ja-

quiring a moratorium for the general assembly to consider naming any other state symbols in the future.

The new, significantly longer legislation passed the Senate unanimously on Friday, sending the bill back to the House for consideration.

“It should have been one of the easiest bills for us to pass,” Johnson said. “We encourage kids to get involved in the educational process, be involved in the political process, and I was very impressed by her. I hate for her to have to go through all of that, but that’s kind of the way it is sometimes up there.”

Both Ridgeway and Johnson hope the state House of Representatives will concur with the amendments, if only to get closer to the ultimate goal, which is holding a ceremony with Olivia present as Gov. Nikki Haley signs the bill.

“If just because it will give closure to this young girl who has been following it very, very closely,” Ridgeway said. “If the amendment says one thing, we as a legislature can always go back and undo it.”

Both men also said they hoped the rancor over the bill won’t discourage future students from being involved in either education or politics.

“We thought it would be a cool idea to do something, just to support children,” Ridgeway said. “It’s not about a mammoth, or a state fossil, or anything. It’s about our children.”

HEROIN FROM PAGE A1 public about the presence of the drug in their communities.

“It seems to be resurfacing again,” after a previous boom in the 1970s and ’80s, said Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis.

“We’ve had more heroin arrests in the last few years than in the last 10 to 15 years.”

Dennis saw several heroin cases when he was working in the narcotics division in the ’80s, when the drug flooded the country in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, but it faded with the growth of the crack ep-

idemic. Now heroin appears to be supplanting other street drugs in popularity, although the sheriff isn’t sure why.

“A lot of it is coming down from northern states,” he said. “Our interdiction team has made several arrests on the interstate of people with heroin.”

Police are still searching for four men wanted in relation to the heroin investigation: Jeffery Dewayne Sanders, 28; Sherman Desmond Coleman, 32; Travies Auntwan Isaac Gray, 23; and Tony Bell, 30.

The last word in astrology

between you and someone you love.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Emotions will EUGENIA LAST spin out of control if you let trivial matters get to you. Don’t get into an argument because someone doesn’t think the same way you do. Keep life simple, get chores out of the way and keep the peace.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Check out your options and make a decision. Sign up for an activity or event that interests you, but reserve judgment. Now is the time to learn, not to make an impulsive decision based on limited information and knowledge. Love is highlighted.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Taking action may be your way of getting what you want, but do research before getting started. You’re likely to make a mistake if you base your choices on what you hear in passing.

Get the facts before you proceed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t share your concern with a colleague, peer or anyone who can affect your position or reputation. Keep life simple and expenses down.

Domestic problems are apparent if you aren’t willing to compromise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Explore, experiment and live life to the fullest.

Expand your interests, friendships or romantic relationship with someone special. Do something unique that will lead to greater joy, happiness and longevity. Health, wealth and love are highlighted.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Not everything is as it appears. An unfortunate situation will develop if you get involved in a joint money venture. The truth may hurt, but it will be necessary. Focus on making your home life better and your residence more efficient.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Use your imagination and you’ll find ways to have fun without being indulgent.

Emotions will run high, making it necessary to be positive and mindful of others. Romance will improve your personal life. Live, love and laugh.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t feel pressured to jump into action because someone is being demanding. Rethink your plans. Get together with someone you love or an old friend, and you’ll be able to turn a negative day into a positive and fruitful experience.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): An abrupt change may be unsettling, but if you stay calm and look at the pros and cons, you’ll find a way to turn a lemon into lemonade. Travel delays can be avoided by mapping out your route prior to leaving.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Get back to basics and consider the things you used to do that made you happy. The activities you enjoy and are skillful at executing can be incorporated into something that can also generate extra cash.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your heart is in the right place, and offering assistance can lead to personal benefits, but refrain from making cash donations. Your time and expertise are sufficient. Wasting money will cause a problem

Huskies, UK to go for title UConn surprises top seed Florida 63-53

BY JIM O’CONNELL The Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas — Connecticut didn’t wait for the final buzzer to beat Florida this time.

The Huskies, the seventh seed in the East Regional, had outstanding games on both ends of the court to beat overall No. 1 seed Florida 63-53 on Saturday night.

The win ended Florida’s 30-game winning streak, which began after the Huskies beat the Gators 65-64 on Dec. 2 on a buzzerTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS beating jumper by Shabazz Napier.

“We have been in a lot of dog fights,” Napier said. “We are just an experienced group.

We believe in each other and continue to believe in each other. ... We are going to win. That is what we do.”

Wildcats edge Badgers 74-73 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Aaron Harrison hit a 3-pointer with 5.7 seconds left, after taking a pass from his twin brother Andrew, and Kentucky beat Wisconsin 74-73 on Saturday night to MUG NAME advance to the national championship game.

The Harrison twins and all those Kentucky freshmen aren’t one and done just yet.

They will be playing for the Wildcats’ ninth national cham-

pionship Monday night in an unexpected title matchup.

Eighth-seeded Kentucky (2910) will play seventh-seeded Connecticut (31-8) in the highest combined seed total for a national championship game since seeding began in 1979. The previous was the 2011 game when third-seeded UConn beat eighthseeded Butler.

After Aaron Harrison hit another clutch shot, Traevon Jackson’s pull-up jumper for the Badgers (30-8) hit the backboard and rolled off the rim as time expired.

McGee earns record redemption LHS sophomore wins weightlifting state crown, sets new mark

BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER mchristopher@theitem.com On a good day, Lakewood High School sophomore Malyq McGee stands about 5-feet4-inches tall and weighs in the range of 150 pounds. As the son in a body building family, he equals his mother in height and looks up to dad, who is just five inches taller.

Looks can be deceiving though, and sometimes great things come in small packages.

McGee is a great example of that. He won a state title at last weekend’s South Carolina High School Strength Coaches Association state meet at Lexington High School.

“I’m the biggest little man there ever was at Lakewood,” McGee said with a smile and a laugh.

Not satisfied with his third-place performance a year ago as a freshman, McGee had his mind set on earning a state crown.

“This year I was determined to become first,” he said. “It pushed me harder. I like

With help from Lakewood strength and conditioning coach Frankie Ward, McGee was able to not only win a state title, but break a state record as well.

“He was a young man who was very focused,” Ward said. “Going in he said, ‘Coach I’m going to break the record.’ He already had in his mind, and we had a good idea and knew he was close, but bottom line is you’re in there with all those

people and sometimes nerves take over and you’ve got to be able to perform under pressure, and he did that.”

McGee set the state record in the 150-pound weight class with a 460pound squat, breaking the old record by 25 pounds.

“Let me catch my breath,” McGee said of what he was thinking after setting the record.

“I didn’t really think about what I did.

“I knew I was probably going to get it,” he added. “I just wanted to put my name in the (re-

cord) book.”

He nearly set the bench press record at 295 pounds, but instead scratched as it was ruled his butt came off the seat.

Lakewood had four of its 10 qualifiers finish in the top five. Freshman Zaire Cain took fourth in the unlimited junior varsity class. Sophomore Deondre Cisse took third in the 180pound weight class and junior D’onte Washington placed third at 170.

Charlotte is in the postseason for the second time in its 10-year history and the first time since 2010. The Bobcats (39-38) are over .500 for the second time this season and hold seventh place in the Eastern Conference.

Kyrie Irving scored a career-high 44 points for Cleveland. The Cavaliers (31-47) trail eighth-place Atlanta by 3½ games for the final playoff spot in the East.

Irving was 16 of 31 from the field, including five 3-pointers. He added eight assists and seven rebounds.

Gerald Henderson’s basket gave Charlotte a 90-89 lead with 1:08 remaining and the Bobcats made four free throws down the stretch to seal the win.

Petkovic rallies past Bouchard in 3 sets

BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press CHJARLESTON — Andrea Petkovic rallied in the final two sets to defeat sixth-seeded Eugenie Bouchard 1-6, 6-3, 7-5 and reach the Family Circle Cup finals on Saturday.

Petkovic, seeded 14th, appeared overwhelmed by the 20-year-old Canadian early on, losing seven straight games and trailing 3-2 in the second set. That’s when the German took control, winning four consecutive games to force a decisive set.

Petkovic was trailing 4-2 in that one before digging in a final time and breaking Bouchard’s serve twice down the stretch to advance to her first championship since Washington, D.C., last August where she fell to Magdalena Rybarikova in straight sets.

This time, Petkovic will face either Jana Cepelova or

17-year-old qualifier Belinda Bencic.

Petkovic broke down and cried with a towel over her head after the match, happy and relieved that she was again in this position after the past three years dealing with injuries to her ankle, knee and back that caused her to miss nine months on tour.

“I was just so relieved and I was proud that I came back from all these injuries, and I never thought that I would play finals in the big tournaments again,” said Petkovic, who hadn’t gotten past the quarterfinals in her six previous tournaments this season.

Petkovic, ranked 40th in the world, calmly analyzed her first-set shortcomings and understood that with a few changes, she could get back in the match.

“I wasn’t that upset because I felt Genie was playing incredible tennis,” she said. “I

CLEMSON BASEBALL

Crownover, Clemson hand Wolfpack 10th straight ACC loss

BY SCOTT KEEPFER Greenville News CLEMSON— If N.C. State’s Carlos Rodon is top dog among the nation’s pitchers, then perhaps Clemson’s Matthew Crownover could at least be tossed an occasional bone.

Crownover certainly showed plenty of bite Saturday afternoon, outdueling Rodon and leading the No. 15 Tigers to a 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference victory at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.

“It was kind of a challenge to throw against Rodon, but CROWNOVER last I checked I didn’t step into the box against him,” Crownover said. “I was just worrying about their lineup. It was just me against their hitters.”

Crownover won in decisive fashion.

The sophomore left-hander allowed three hits in eight innings. Crownover (6-2) allowed just one run and two walks against seven strikeouts while improving his ERA to 2.23.

The victory, which came before a sunsplashed crowd of 5,207, was the sixth consecutive for Clemson (20-9, including 9-3 in ACC games).

N.C. State (17-12, 3-10) lost its 10th consecutive ACC game.

Rodon (2-5) gave up 11 hits and six runs, three earned, in eight innings. He struck out five.

“He is, in my opinion, probably the best pitcher in the country,” Clemson’s Steve Wilkerson said of Rodon. “Today was just our day – that’s baseball. We were fortunate enough to put some good swings on balls

and find some holes.”

Wilkerson has been doing both of late. He had a pair of hits and two RBIs and is batting .591 during the winning streak.

“He’s in a good place right now, so don’t any of you guys talk to him – just leave him alone and let him do his thing,” Clemson coach Jack Leggett said, grinning. “Keep him focused.”

Steven Duggar, Chris Okey and Weston Wilson also had two hits each for the Tigers, who lead the ACC with a .300 batting average.

N.C. State took a 1-0 lead in the fourth when Bubba Riley was hit by a pitch, advanced to second on a bunt, took third on a wild pitch and scored on Kyle Cavanaugh’s RBI bouncer to left.

But the Tigers bounced right back, scoring twice in the bottom of the inning to take the lead for good.

That was more than enough for Crownover, who was coming off a completegame win against Maryland. Crownover’s eight-inning stint was timely what with starters Daniel Gossett (shoulder) and Jake Long (back) questionable, though Gossett said he is likely to miss just one start.

Pitching coach Dan “Pepicelli didn’t want anything to spiral out of control, so I just shut it down and will makes sure I’m back to 100 percent before I start throwing again,” Gossett said.

The three-game series continues today with a 3 p.m. game.

No. 15 Clemson rides the left-hander strong eight innings of pitching to a 6-1 victory against N.C. State in the opener of a threegame Atlantic Coast Conference series.

USC FOOTBALL

Anderson to miss remainder of spring practice

BY RYAN WOOD Post and Courier COLUMBIA — South Carolina tight end Rory Anderson tore his triceps Saturday during a scrimmage at Williams-Brice Stadium, an injury that will force him to miss the final week of spring practices — at the very least.

The 6-5, 230pound senior shined early in the scrimANDERSON mage. Anderson made Gamecocks safety Chaz Elder miss a tackle in the open field and sprinted for a 52-yard catch. But that was the final pass he’ll catch this spring, if not longer.

“He was stiff-arming a guy, and pulled it or something,” South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said.

“Hopefully that can be repaired by the time August gets here.”

Anderson will be evaluated to see if he has a partial or complete tear of the triceps muscle. When it comes to recovery time, the difference is significant.

A complete tear could force Anderson to miss at least some of the 2014 season. It would be a disap-

pointing blow for a player who seemed primed for a big year after catching 17 passes for 235 yards last fall. Anderson caught at least one pass in each of South Carolina’s first nine games last season.

“If it’s torn off the muscle, then they would have to go in there and repair it,” Spurrier said. “Hopefully he’ll be ready to go by next year.”

A triceps tear is a rare injury for athletes. One prominent example is former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, who missed much of the 2012 season because of a torn triceps.

Lewis returned less than three months later, helping lead the Ravens to a Super Bowl title. USC is more than four months away from the start of its season.

Still, Lewis’ quick return was the exception, not the norm.

“Once full range of motion is restored, strengthening exercises can begin, usually at four to six months after surgery,” according to a Baltimore Sun article citing Dr. Umasuthan Srikumaran of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “Most patients can expect to recover close to their full range of mo-

tion and strength at a year after surgical repair.

BACKUP QB STILL OPEN

Perry Orth once again took second-team reps Saturday ahead of Connor Mitch and Brendan Nosovitch, but the race to be Dylan Thompson’s backup is far from over.

Spurrier said he was especially impressed with Mitch on Saturday. Mitch completed 8 of 10 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown, outshining Orth’s 2-for-8 completion rate for 24 yards.

“Connor Mitch is fighting for No. 2 there,” Spurrier said.

Nosovitch, who has struggled passing at times this spring, completed 6 of 9 passes for 75 yards and one touchdown. Spurrier said Nosovitch throws the ball better in scrimmages than drills.

Thompson completed 5 of 10 passes for 118 yards.

SECONDARY A MIXED BAG

Defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward is pleased with USC’s safeties, but said “we’ve still got a ways to go” at cornerback.

It’s been an inconsistent spring for the Gamecocks’ secondary, as expected.

break points to hold serve and begin her comeback.

“I said, ‘Even if I miss more, I’m going to have to get the length or she’s going to kill me,’” Petkovic said.

Bouchard wasn’t done, taking a 4-2 lead in the final set and having a chance to break serve for a bigger lead. But Petkovic hit a pair of crisp serves to win that game and followed by breaking Bouchard’s serve to tie the set at four games.

Petkovic broke Bouchard’s serve a final time to close out the match on four consecutive points.

Bouchard trailed in the third set in her two previous matches before eliminating No. 11 seed Venus Williams in the third round and No. 2 seed Jelena Jankovic in the quarterfinals. Against Petkovic, Bouchard says she didn’t play as aggressively down the stretch as she had hoped.

Stewart edges Keselowski for Duck Commander pole

BY JENNA FRYER The Associated Press FORT WORTH, Texas — Tony Stewart knocked Brad Keselowski from the pole as qualifying ended Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway.

Stewart waited right until the end of the final round to attempt his lap and cirSTEWART cled the speedway at 195.454 mph to grab the top starting spot for today’s race.

It’s Stewart’s 15th career pole and first since Atlanta in 2012.

KESELOWSKI “It was cool.

I’m not normally a qualifier,” Stewart said.

Keselowski made his attempt earlier in the session and turned his lap at 195.419. He was out of his car and watching the scoring pylon as Stewart crossed the finish line, and Keselowski dropped his head in disappointment when he saw he’d been beaten.

“Stewart put down a great lap at the end, didn’t see that one coming,” Keselowski said. “That’s why they do it this way. Really exciting and a lot of fun to watch, and quite honestly, a lot of fun to participate in this new format of qualifying.”

Kevin Harvick qualified third as two Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolets were in the top three. The organization is the only one in the Sprint Cup Series with two wins this season — Harvick won at Phoenix and Kurt Busch won last week at Martinsville —

but the four cars have been all over the map and lacked consistency.

“Tony capturing the pole is as good as it gets for the organization,” Harvick said.

“That’s a huge improvement for where we’ve been as a company the last few weeks.”

Busch qualified 11th as three of the four SHR drivers advanced into the third and final round of knockout qualifying.

The final session was dominated by Fords as blue oval drivers claimed six of the final 12 spots and were led by Keselowski, who will start on the front row for the fifth time in seven races this season.

Ford drivers Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards qualified fourth and fifth for Roush Fenway Racing.

Then came Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin, the only Toyota driver to make it to the top 12.

Trevor Bayne was seventh in his first appearance in the final group this season, and he was followed by Ryan Newman, Marcos Ambrose, Joey Logano, Busch and Jeff Gordon.

Six-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson failed to advance to the final round for the first time this season.

“We’re really surprised not to have pace here in qualifying,” Johnson said. “We have a very fast race car, in race trim especially. Our car is blazing fast. Qualifying hasn’t always been my strong suit, and today it showed up here for whatever reason.

“We’ll get her cleaned up and get her ready for the race on Sunday.”

WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL AWARDS

WOMEN’S FINAL FOUR

Stewart, McGraw win AP Player, Coach of Year

Cardinals look to end UConn’s run at perfection

BY DOUG FEINBERG The Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Breanna Stewart picked up right where she left off as a freshman with a stellar sophomore year.

UConn’s 6-foot-4 sensational star earned The Associated Press Player of the Year award Saturday, becoming just the third sophomore to achieve the honor. Notre STEWART Dame’s Muffet McGraw was selected coach of the year for the second straight season.

Stewart, a unanimous AllAmerican, got 20 MCGRAW votes from the 36-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25. Stanford’s Chiney Ogwumike received eight votes while Baylor’s Odyssey Sims had six.

Kayla McBride of Notre Dame received the other two votes.

Stewart joined former UConn star Maya Moore and Oklahoma’s Courtney Paris as the only sophomores to win the award. Steward helped the Huskies win the national championship as a freshman and has been a major reason why the Huskies are undefeated this season.

Like UConn, McGraw’s Irish squad hasn’t lost either, winning their first 36 games this season.

“I just think she grew up,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said of his young star.

“She’s a year older it’s not easy to be that good when you’re that young and haven’t played a lot of college basketball. She has year’s more experience as to what it takes to go through a college basketball season and knowing her, I think she is going to get better and better each day each week and each month. I’m really happy for her.”

McGraw is only the second coach ever to win the award in consecutive years, joining Auriemma. West Virginia’s Mike Carey was second with eight votes. Auriemma was third and South Carolina’s Dawn Staley was fourth.

McGraw also was honored with the award in 2001.

“She has been the consistent piece at Notre Dame,” McBride said, “and is a big reason why we are where we are.”

Even McGraw, who is in her 27th season at the school, was surprised at the success her team has had this season.

Joining a new conference and graduating Skylar Diggins left a few questions for Notre Dame. With McGraw at the helm, they answered every one of them.

“Going undefeated was not on the top of our goals for the season with what we lost,”

BY TERESA M. WALKER The Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. — All the talk of Stanford feeling like a junior varsity team crashing the Final Four or being an extra at the beauty pageant is just rhetoric to UConn coach Geno Auriemma. Motivational chatter he says no team here needs since each has won a championship.

Auriemma noted Saturday he’s never won any pageant.

Nope, he and his Connecticut Huskies just win titles — AURIEMMA and they’re back chasing perfection again. They are two wins from making history: The first program in the women’s game with nine national titles.

“I think this team thinks they can win anywhere, anytime against anybody,” Auriemma said.

Before UConn (38-0) can think of a possible undefeated showdown with Notre Dame in the title game, however, the Huskies must get past Stanford Sunday night in one national semifinal.

Stanford is back at the Final Four for the sixth time in seven years. Stanford has two titles to its credit, though the Cardinal have been shut out in eight previous Final Four berths over the past 20 years. Compare that to UConn, which has won all its titles on 13 trips in that same span.

Auriemma said every team here can win a national title, which is the beauty of the Final Four.

“All you got to do is play really well two nights, and you can win a national championship,” Auriemma said. “And all four teams that are here are capable of doing that because they’ve already done that. So I don’t think they should feel like they’re a JV team. I don’t think they should anybody should feel like they’re the extras at the

Miss America pageant.”

Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer credits the media wanting the story of two undefeated teams playing for a title, and she makes no apologies for wanting to muck that up.

“If we’re going to be someone’s hors d’oeuvre, we’re not going to get swallowed easily,” VanDerveer said. “We’re going to work really hard to play the best game we can, and we definitely talk about it.”

The Huskies have won six of the past seven against Stanford, including the last tournament meeting in the 2010 title game.

They also won Nov. 11 in Storrs by 19.

The defending national champion has won 44 straight overall, and UConn sophomore Breanna Stewart was named The Associated Press’ player of the year Saturday.

Stewart is scoring a team-high 19.4 points a game and much more confident in her second Final Four.

“I’ve been here before, but I still want to accomplish the same task,” Stewart said.

All five starters score in double figures, and the Huskies play defense just as well.

They hold opponents to 47.3 points a game and 30.7 percent shooting. Junior Kiah Stokes said Auriemma boosts their confidence by putting them in can’t win situations like playing five on nine. Then there’s that crucial experience as a program with this their seventh straight Final Four.

“It’s even harder now because people don’t want us to win again,” Stokes said.

“It’s exciting for us, and we’re looking forward to it. It takes a lot of work. We know it will take even more work than last year.”

Stanford last upset UConn in the NCAA tournament in the 2008 national semifinal, a game VanDerveer has mentioned to her players noting those Huskies had the likes of Tina Charles and Maya Moore.

“They have a very talented team this year, but we just have to play well,” VanDerveer said.

HUSKIES FROM PAGE B1 offense by shutting down point guard Scottie Wilbekin and 3-point specialist Michael Frazier II, who scored a combined seven points.

The Huskies were impressive on offense, shooting 55.8 percent (24 of 43) from the field against a team that allowed opponents to shoot 39.9 percent this season.

“Everybody was at Level 5 and that was the most important thing,” Ollie said.

“Whomever I put in the game, it was positive and they were productive.”

The Huskies (31-8) will play the winner of the WisconsinKentucky game for the national championship on Monday night.

DeAndre Daniels had 20 points and 10 rebounds for Connecticut, and it was his two 3-pointers in a span of 1:43 that helped ignite the Huskies after they had fallen behind 16-4.

“DeAndre was huge for us,” Ollie said. “He stepped up and really rebounded for us and was pretty much unstoppable.”

Daniels was 9 of 14 from the field and played the entire game.

Napier, who leads the team in almost every category, didn’t dominate, but he finished with 12 points and six assists. He definitely got the better of Wilbekin in a matchup of senior point guards, both conference players of the year.

Napier had two key second half steals on Wilbekin, both of which led to UConn baskets. Wilbekin was bothered by cramps throughout the game.

“It was right when the second half started. I was getting a little cramp, it wasn’t too bad,” Wilbekin said. “I got out of the game and got some ice and it wasn’t really a problem from then on.”

The Connecticut guards were. Florida had 11 turn-

overs and a season-low three assists.

“That’s crazy, that’s not usually what we do,” Wilbekin said. “All credit goes to them and their guards and the way they were denying and putting pressure on us.”

Patric Young had 19 points for Florida (36-3), which had won all of its NCAA tournament games by at least 10 points. The Gators shot just 38.8 percent from the field (19 of 49), well off their 46.1 percent average.

“I thought they played extremely well today, unfortunately for us I didn’t think it was one of our better games and I think Connecticut had a lot to do with that,” Florida coach Billy Donovan said.

“We got off to a very, very good start in the game, and the reason we got off to a good start was our defense was very, very good. Once they got their defense set, I thought we had a hard time dealing with their pressure up top.”

The Huskies used the 3-pointer to open things up inside, hitting 5 of 12 from

They had such an easy time scoring inside that they had only basket outside the paint in the final 20 minutes, shooting 63.6 percent (14 of 22).

Florida was just 1 for 10 from 3-point range and the Gators’ most effective weap-

on through most of the game was an offensive rebound off a miss. They had 12 in the game and turned them into 13 points.

Florida’s defense — which was No. 3 in the nation — was suffocating early and the Gators took a 16-4 lead with a

7-0 run that was capped by a drive by Wilbekin with 9:47 to play.

The Huskies suddenly found their shooting touch.

Connecticut made four straight shots and three of them were from beyond the 3-point line — two by Daniels and another by Ryan Boatright. A 3 by Napier brought Connecticut within 20-18 and a three-point play

by Niels Giffey gave the Huskies their first lead of the game, 21-20 with 3:18 left in the half. They never trailed again.

In the second half, the Huskies stretched the lead to 37-27 with 13:10 left after a Boatright driving layup. They fought off every rally by Florida, which cut it to 43-40 with 8:03 left, but never threatened again.

Ollie only had to look to the stands at AT&T Stadium to see Jim Calhoun, his successor and the coach who led Connecticut to its three national titles.

Florida was looking to reach the national championship game for the first time since repeating as champions in 2007.

MCGEE FROM PAGE B1 been here about 13 weeks and the biggest thing is my expectation is, and they realize this is, they’ve got to come to work every day,” Ward said. “The biggest thing is just their work mentality, and these guys have done a really good job of that.”

Sumter’s Bradley Watkins placed third in the 180-pound JV division. Crestwood had three top five finishers led by Ty’Son Williams’ third-place finish in the 205-pound varsity division. Tyquan Albert took fourth at 190 and Chris Simon took fifth in the 260pound JV division.

The journey to a state title didn’t come without some obstacles. Right after the regional meet, McGee was unable to squat for two weeks because he hurt his hamstring. He also had to lose weight, nearly seven pounds, just to make his weight class.

“We started training that week (of the state meet), and we didn’t max out or nothing,g but we were doing repetitions so when I got (to the state meet) I didn’t know what I was going to do there,” he explained.

McGee and Ward disagreed on what McGee’s starting weight would be in the squat.

McGee wanted to start with 425 pounds, but instead began with 405.

The attempt was done with so much ease that Ward suggested they shoot to break the record at 440. On his second attempt, McGee broke the record and for his final attempt he wanted to push himself, and the rest was history.

“There’s nothing like breaking a record,” McGee said. “Everyone crowds around you, they announce your name on loud speaker saying you’re about to attempt a record.”

McGee wanted to try 500 pounds on his final attempt, but Ward was hesitant. He will likely get his chance in the future as he has two more years to increase the record.

“I think it has a lot to do with his stature,” Ward said of why he didn’t let McGee attempt 500 pounds. “With him only being 153 pounds, 500 pounds is a lot of weight.

Now, if he was a senior, chances are I’d probably let him go for it because I know he wouldn’t have another year, but with him having two years left I still have to dangle that carrot in front of him.”

McGee said he felt at ease under the direction of Ward.

“He never said we couldn’t do something,” McGee said.

“If you believe you can do something he gives you a chance. He never said, ‘Don’t do it,’ unless you’re trying to do too much. Other than that, he encouraged you to go for it.”

Hal Linden is an accomplished singer and musician. He’s played clarinet with many famous musicians, among them B.B. King and Al Hirt, and was in several famous dance bands.

H

e’s perhaps best known as “Barney Miller,” precinct captain on the hit comedy of the same name. As the pillar of sanity in that TV police station, Linden received numerous Golden Globe and Emmy nominations.

Just a cursory examination of his performing resume reveals the actor is multitalented: Linden is also a singer, musician and raconteur who will present a cabaret-style concert at Patriot Hall on April 11, in the final show of the season brought to us by the Sumter-Shaw Community Concert Association.

SSCCA publicity chairwoman Betsy Ridgeway said “Hal Linden is so talented. This will be a really entertaining concert.”

She added that “The 2014-15 season is already set. We’ll have four concerts, and we’ll open in September with a big Nashville revue.”

Season memberships and sponsorships will be available soon.

Linden with the late Ossie Davis in “I’m Not Rappaport” on Broadway.

Linden’s Friday concert is in the style of a nightclub performance.

With his 7-piece band, he will perform a repertoire of Broadway hits and American popular songs. He will pepper his performance with stories of his experiences during a long and celebrated career on stage and TV, in films and music halls. He’ll also likely pick up his clarinet to join the band on several numbers.

Having joined the musician’s union at age 15, Linden played with big bands led by Ray

McKinley, Bob Sherwood and Sammy Kaye (“Swing and Sway with Sammy Kaye”) before he was drafted into the U.S. Army.

From his Broadway debut in 1957 in “Bells Are Ringing” with co-star Judy Holliday to his acting roles in films such as “When You Comin’ Back, Red Ryder?” (1979), “Starflight One” (1983), “Out To Sea” (1997) with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon, “A New Life?” (1988) with Alan Alda, and “Time Changer” in 2002, Linden has al-

ways been in demand.

On TV, in addition to “Barney Miller,” he hosted ABC’s “FYI,” a 60-second information series, “FYI,” for kids, earning two Emmy Awards; he got another Emmy for his role as a rabbi in the CBS Schoolbreak Special’s “The Writing on the Wall.” Linden also hosted the ABC children’s series “Animals, Animals, Animals.” which not only won many Emmys, but also a Peabody Award.

Linden’s roles in the theater are many, as well. He played Billy Collins in “Anything Goes” and won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for 1971’s “The Rothschilds.”

After “Barney Miller,” Linden starred in TV’s “Blacke’s

Magic” and “Jack’s Place,” in which he played a jazz musician. He has also guest starred in many past and current TV shows, including “Hot in Cleveland,” “Touched by an Angel” and “Law and Order.”

Linden currently serves as spokesman for the Jewish National Fund.

Born in New York City on March 20, 1931, Linden graduated from the High School of Music and Art in Manhattan and later studied music at Queens College, before graduating from City College of New York. A classically trained clarinetist, he played in several famous dance bands and dreamed of leading his own; however, by the time his stint in the army ended, the Big Band era was fading, so he pursued acting instead.

He studied drama and voice at New York’s American Theatre Wing where he trained in voice and drama. Linden and his late wife Frances were married for 52 years, until her passing in 2010. They have four children.

THE SUMTER ITEM

A view of Liberty Street is seen from the former Sumter Item office. Note the brick pavers that have been in existence since about 1914.

Paved Liberty Street encouraged growth L iberty Street played a significant role in

the early growth and

expansion of the Sumter community. One of the

first of two laid out by city planners in 1817, the street was sought by merchants as an ideal location to erect their shops and warehouses.

According to Cassie Nicholes, William Leonard Brunson “was a noted surveyor of his CROWSON PHOTO time and in 1817 laid out the Many of these buildings still occupy a large part of West Liberty Street. town of Sumterville, making a map on which are given the original names of the streets.”

Anne King Gregorie notes that “after the first courthouse was erected on the public square at the intersection of the only two streets, Liberty and Broad (now Main), Sumterville grew slowly.” She also noted that there was “only one place in the village known as Cross Street and that place in the village is where Main and Liberty Streets cross.”

During the 1870s there were some noticeable changes taking place on Liberty Street.

“M.F. Hewson had opened a ten pin alley next door to the oyster saloon of James Lassiter. On East Liberty in the block next to Main were Tom

Feeny and Myles Moran who had a grist mill worked by horse power; George Reardon, Pat and Dennis O’Donnell, the Croghans, and their mother, Mrs. Harney … ran a bakery.

On West Liberty, in the block next to Main, were the O’Connor, Bogin and Barrett business establishments and nearby on Main were Dick and R.P. Monaghan.

Indeed, so many Irish were in the blocks at the intersection Sammy Way of Main and Liberty that it REFLECTIONS was sometimes called “‘Little Dublin.’” (Gregorie) In March of 1914, it was announced that the section of Liberty Street located between Sumter and Harvin streets would be paved. The contract was let to William F. Bowe of Columbia, who planned to use the Bessemer paver, the same brick used to pave Main Street.

The Item reported that paving began as soon as the contractor could “secure and file his bond for the performance of the contract, get materials and a work force on hand.” The contract price was set at $2.49 a square yard, and work was scheduled for completion sometime in April or by the first of May, 1914.

Before laying the bricks, the street had to be plowed using six horse teams and a surface, composed of macadam, was laid so that “the street could be cut down to the proper grade.”

The work attracted a lot of attention from the local citizenry, who were interested in the large amount of brick pavers being brought to the site and the laying of the water pipes from Harvin to Main.

By the end of May, 1914, the portion of Liberty Street from Harvin to Main Street was nearly complete. The brick was laid and the grouting was complete, allowing the contractor to announce that “the block would be open for traffic earlier than anticipated.”

The paving of Liberty Street encouraged more and more businesses to select this area to locate their establishments.

The street continues to serve as one of Sumter’s major downtown thoroughfares and was recently landscaped, giving it a number of upgrades and enhancements.

Information used in the preparation of this article was taken from Anne King Gregorie’s text, “History of Sumter County,” Cassie Nicholes’ “Historical Sketches of Sumter County” and The Sumter Item archives.

THE SUMTER ITEM

Sumter County Walk Series: Get walking and start bragging!

BY CATHERINE BLUMBERG SCAL Executive Director Brag. Brag. Brag. It may not be the best of manners to brag a bit, but some things, like the Sumter County Walks Series, truly merit bravado.

The series is going very well and the credits go to people who live, work and spend time in Sumter County.

On Saturday, March 22, Kim Harrill and staff from the Sumter Family “Y” led exercise activities for walkers on the Shot Pouch Creek Trail. Along a quarter mile stretch we stopped at least 10 times for exercise breaks, not sitting breaks. Instead of moving towards a bench, we turned, twisted, hopped, jumped and moved our bodies. The second quarter mile was slightly different.

This time we took four exercise breaks and learned the dance steps from the Wobble.

Seriously! How often do you have an opportunity to walk outdoors on a beautiful Sumter day with a large group of friendly people who are having FUN doing moderate-intensity aerobic activity?

Prior walks have been different, but just as good. Brock McDaniel, City of Sumter Horticulturist, and Mary Caflisch, Clemson Extension Agent, shared their expertise about two of our parks — Palmetto Park and Patriot Park.

Brock can tell you the name, purpose and history of every tree, bush, flower and weed at Palmetto Park, while Mary knows all the “ins and outs” of the rain garden at Patriot Park. In addition to learning about our natural and created environment, most walkers gained awareness of these easy and accessible walking locations.

More good walks are coming.

Austin Jenkins, USC Sumter Naturalist, has begun his popular Swan Lake Garden Walks. Get up early and join him at Swan Lake on Monday, April 7 or 14. Meet at the Visitors Center at Swan Lake, at 8:30 a.m.

For people who want to walk, but don’t live in the city, perhaps the Rembert Easter Walk or the Salterstown Community Walk will be close to you. The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office will be leading Rembert’s walk on Saturday, April 19, starting at 10 a.m.

Park at Lilfred’s Restaurant, 8425 Camden Highway, for the 1.1-mile walk. Walkers may bring strollers and folding chairs, as there will be an Easter egg hunt after the walk for children ages 2-12.

The Salterstown Community Walk, on the asphalt track at the community center, 800 Salters Road, will celebrate motherhood and offer prizes for all mothers who walk a mile. Walking begins at 10

Playground equipment is beside the track for children who are accompanying adults.

Last year Sumter County Active Lifestyles partnered with local historian Sammy Way for a downtown walk that received high praise. This year, Sammy is leading the 1.5-mile Sumter Memorial Walk, “Pay Tribute,” and discussing Sumter’s monuments on Saturday, May 17, starting at the Vietnam Memorial (behind the new judicial center) and ending at Memorial Park.

There’s a lot to know! We’ll start this lively and uplifting walk at 5 p.m.

The walk series will conclude on Saturday, June 7,

with trail hikes and more at Poinsett State Park, “the mountains of the midlands.”

If walking wears you out, bring your binoculars for some bird watching; there are many ways to enjoy this state park. More details will be announced soon.

Can you see why this walk series is titled, Walks with Talks and More? (I’m still bragging.)

Mystery plant is attractive, but has B.O. -- blossom odor

BY JOHN NELSON Curator, USC Herbarium Gardeners are just like everybody else, except that they garden.

And being just like everybody else, gardeners go through their various “phases” or “periods.”

Some of these phases involve a sort of popularity contest when it comes to certain plants over others. One might think of the tulip craze that gripped Holland in the 1630s. Closer to home, maybe the widespread planting of Bradford pear trees: beautiful white flowers, and charming autumnal foliage. But Bradford pears are now a scourge on the land, for a variety of reasons, and no serious gardener or landscaper would recommend them.

And then, of course, there are red tips.

“Red tips” are plants in the genus Photinia, a member of the rose

family, with several evergreen species originating in eastern Asia, these species are variously popular in home and urban landscapes.

These species look like they might have thorns, but no. The common name comes from the color of the young foliage, which is commonly bright red (depending on the species in question).

By far, the most prevalent red tip, and the one that is usually referred to by that common name, has been the species Photinia fraseri, which is actually a hybrid. It is a fast growing shrub, makes a great screen or hedge, and its clusters of small white flowers and fruits are beautiful. But it has been so overused that it is something of a vegetable bore. Worst of all, P. fraseri is extremely susceptible to “leaf spot” disease, a

Related to the “red tip Photinia,” this mystery plant has “stinky” flowers, but is not as susceptible to disease as the red tip, or Photinia fraseri. nasty fungus that eventually kills the entire plant. Some gardeners

say that there are two kinds of red tip plants: those with the disease,

and those which are not YET infected. Other gardeners just call them all “dead tips.” If you have a hedge full of dead red tips, you have a problem.

This week’s Mystery Plant is a species of Photinia. It has larger, much toothier leaves than those of P. fraseri, and it gets to be a small tree. It also has beautiful flowers (beautiful and stinky, it turns out) and colorful fruits.

And, although it is prone to some diseases, it is not nearly as susceptible to leaf spot as P. fraseri. Our Mystery Plant can’t really be called a red tip, because when its young leaves unroll in the spring, they are a sort of bronze or saffron color.

This species is a very vigorous one, and sometimes gets a bit uncontrollable, and potentially invasive. If you were interested in growing one

of these, you would probably need to give it a lot of room. Many landscapers these days are trying to wean us all away from red tips, whatever Asiatic species of Photinia you might be thinking of.

sweetFrog Yogurt coming to Sumter

BY TYLER SIMPSON tyler@theitem.com (803) 774-1295

emember the old days in Sumter, when someone could drive down to the standalone TCBY on Wesmark Boulevard for a frozen yogurt on a hot afternoon? Or perhaps the older days, when Sumter had a Colombo Yogurt? Well, those days are gone.

“When TCBY closed, it left a void that needed to be filled,” said contractor Eddie Ross of Ross Construction.

The void should be filled by early May when Jay Bhagat and Ricky Patel, who have known each other for five years while working with church organizations, open a branch of sweetFrog Premium Frozen Yogurt in Sumter. The franchise company, which is based in Richmond, Va., has more than 320 stores worldwide, including the Dominican Republic and the United Kingdom.

“I think that Sumter really needed this,” Patel said. “This will be like a TCBY, but it has more variety of flavors, and it will be something unique to Sumter.”

Once it opens, Sumter residents can enjoy 21 different flavors of frozen yogurt they can choose from serving dispensers, and then can choose to top off their desserts with 50 different toppings from a topping bar. The price of a customer’s yogurt will be determined by the ounce.

“SweetFrog is frozen yogurt your way; you determine what goes in your cup, so every creation is perfect,” said James Denison, public relations associate for sweetFrog.

Bhagat said they decided to open a yogurt shop in Sumter also because it’s a more healthy option in terms of choosing a dessert. Some of the health facts that come with eating yogurts include increasing metabolism, relieving gas and that most flavors are fat free.

Though he couldn’t give an exact number, Patel said the shop will have several management and clerk positions available once renovations to the shop are nearly finished.

Established in 2009 by entrepreneur Derek Cha and his wife, Annah, sweetFrog Yogurt has been one of the fastest-growing frozen yogurt chains in the nation.

According to the company website, the F.R.O.G. in sweetFrog is actually an acronym for “Fully Rely on God,” which reflects the company’s Christian values in giving back to communities and becoming actively involved through fundraisers and “Spirit Nights.”

“Along with serving our froyo, we are thrilled to be investing in this community,” Denison said. “We want our stores to become part of the fabric that wraps towns, and we are excited to making friends around Sumter.”

SweetFrog Yogurt will open soon at 1275 Broad St., behind Gamestop and across Alice Drive Extension from the Kangaroo Express. To learn more about sweetFrog, visit http://sweetfrogyogurt.com.

Red Cross partners with Pizza Hut for fundraiser The American Red Cross Palmetto SC Region announced that it has partnered with Pizza Hut to accept donations.

Throughout the month of April, Pizza Hut locations across South Carolina will donate $1 to American Red Cross every time someone purchases a “Meal Deal” for $19.99. Donors can also give $1, $3 or $5 donations at any Pizza Hut location.

The partnership was made to raise awareness of services provided by generous individuals and to provide financial support for those fallen victim to disaster situations.

Interested donors can visit redcross.org or text REDCROSS to 90999 to give $10.

The Sumter Development Board is partnering with ConnectSouthCarolina to kick off ConnectSumter at a meeting Friday where Sumter residents can meet and brainstorm ideas to increase broadband access and connectivity across the community.

The program is an outgrowth of an Obama administration program called ConnectAmerica, according to Rick Farmer, director of Communications and Strategic Initiatives of Sumter Development Board. The purpose of the program is to determine where Sumter County stands in terms of broadband Internet connectivity and if anything can be done to improve it.

Farmer said ConnectSouthCarolina approached the Sumter Development Board with the opportunity to participate in the program, which was a “no-brainer.”

“The whole purpose of this is to improve people’s quality of life,” Farmer said. “We will be explaining and educating them on how to use the Internet and how to get broadband.

There are a lot of folks out there who just don’t know.”

But the education is just one component of the program, according to Farmer.

Another component of the program is inventory, which is determining where in Sumter broadband Internet is available, where wireless is available and how many car-

riers are in the area.

“The idea is to create a technology plan for the future and to identify gaps where we have shortcomings and so forth,” Farmer said.

“Let’s say we find one part of the community that just doesn’t have access. We can work with providers to make access available. It’s actually a pretty comprehensive approach to maximizing our broadband capability.”

According to Farmer, Sumter County is “ahead of the game” compared to most counties in South Carolina, as other counties have a lot of gaps where broadband isn’t available.

“Other counties don’t have any cable companies that provide broadband, they don’t have telephone companies that provide it, and they’re out of range of the cellphone towers,” Farmer said.

Farmer expressed how plenty of businesses in Sumter County depend on broadband access to run their operations. He recalled how one company receives orders from its parent office and have computer access on their forklifts, which details the drivers what to do.

“If their Internet is down, their whole building shuts down. They just can’t function,” Farmer said.

The meeting will take place in the downtown Health Sciences Center of Central Carolina Technical College from 10 a.m. to noon Friday. Anyone interested in participating is asked to RSVP to Farmer at rfarmer@sumter-sc.com.

Fired up for turkey hunting

I

started the 2014 turkey season a bit early; my cousin invited me to come up to his place and hunt Saturday morning with him and his son William. It was a designated “Youth Day” so William, who is younger than 16, got to hunt.

Let’s face it, any turkey hunter who has spent more than a year in the field would have told you that last Saturday morning — complete with low Earle clouds and Woodward rain — would not have been AFIELD & AFLOAT an ideal morning to hunt, but just like little troopers, the three of us were walking through the woods a little after 6 a.m. headed for our pre-made blinds.

There was no way that I would have thought that the birds would have made a sound before dawn — not in this horrible weather — but to my surprise, at about 6:45, a hen roosted out over the swamp and began a steady stream of yelps.

She was followed in short order by several other hens spread up and down the swamp.

Well, if you’ve got a bunch of ladies, then you would think that there would be a young man hanging around, and there was, it just took them a little longer to crank up.

First one gobbler, then another, until we could finally account for the whereabouts of six gobblers.

Somewhere along the line, a couple of geese chimed into the ruckus from a pothole down in the swamp, and the noise was like none I could remember in the woods. It was

just plain loud.

I thought we may have a chance at a lone gobbler that had roosted on our side of the swamp and was maybe 100 yards away, but when I saw him fly straight down, instead of soaring across a strip of thick weeds to our side of a bottom, I thought otherwise. My fears were confirmed as his gobbles grew fainter and fainter as he took his harem in the other direction. The rest of the birds all flew to the other side of the swamp, and with that, our day was over.

I didn’t mind getting out of the rain.

What the morning did do was rekindle the fire in me for turkey hunting; all that gobbling was just too much for me to stand.

So Tuesday afternoon, I grabbed my stuff after work and headed down to the property that Jack and I lease in Clarendon County. I’ve taken one bird from the place and seen quite a few during deer seasons, so it was worth a shot.

I had a ground blind nestled among some pines overlooking my little food plot and that is where I’ve always seen the birds, so that was my destination.

I never thought about what the recent ice storm may have done to our little slice of heaven, so when I pulled into the dirt road and was almost immediately blocked by a downed pine, my concerns began to mount. Compared to what we had just a few miles away in Sumter, it was devastating. We had a few small limbs down at my house, but down there, I think devastation really is a good word to describe it.

I picked my way through the tree trunks and branches and made it to what was left of my ground blind. A limb had fallen

on the roof and just centered it, causing the hub to buckle and the top to fold. Add copious amounts of rainfall collecting in the depression made by the collapsed roof and what you have left in a pile of cloth and busted graphite rods sitting on the ground.

I was able to drain the water off of the top and get it standing up, propped up or whatever. Anyway, I was able to get inside.

With all the trees down in the food plot a clean shot was only available in a few places, but I cut loose with the call and sat back to wait. No gobble, no yelp, no nothing. Well, that’s OK, sometimes afternoon birds are just quiet.

Several call series and about and hour later, I saw movement to the left and watched a turkey leave the road and walk into the woods. I couldn’t see if it was a gobbler or a hen for all the debris, but softly called to it a few times as it walked. With each call, the bird would stop, look my way for a few seconds and then continue on. It wasn’t until the bird was well into the woods that I got a clean look at his breast.

There was a beard hanging from his breast that would make a 6-inch paint brush jealous. He paid me absolutely no attention at all; he just kept walking deeper into the woods, probably going to his favorite roost tree.

By sundown, I had had enough and decided to explore the roads around the field, which were covered up with trees. I don’t think there was a 50-yard stretch that didn’t have a tree down on it.

Oh well, God has finished pruning his trees for this year, and now it’s time for his servants to get in there and pick up the debris. It’ll give me something to do between the morning and evening hunts.

Know what is or isn’t in your soil LEE REICH Associated Press

f plants could squeal like hungry pigs, we gardeners would pay more attention to their fertilizer needs.

But plants do tell us when they are hungry — with poor or distorted growth and with leaf discolorations.

Why wait for your plants to become so desperate? Test your soil every few years.

Testing can be done by you or by a private or state laboratory, and there are options in what to test for. At the least, test the acidity (pH), because if it is unsuitable, plants cannot absorb certain nutrients, even if those nutrients are present.

Most plants like a slightly acidic soil, with a pH about 6.5. A standard test checks levels of the so-called macronutrients — phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulfur. A complete checkup would also include testing for micronutrients, such as iron, manganese and zinc, which are essential but required in only minute quantities.

SAMPLING IS IMPORTANT The accuracy of any soil test depends on how you take the sample. In even a modestsize garden of 100 square feet, one cup of soil — the amount used for the test — represents only 0.001 percent of the top 6 inches of soil, so that sample must be as representative as possible of the whole area to be tested.

The test area should

FISHING REPORT SANTEE COOPER SYSTEM Crappie: Good. Crappie can be found both deep and shallow and not all the fish have started to spawn yet.

For shallow fish look around shoreline cover and use a minnow or jig under a bobber. Largemouth bass: Good. Largemouth bass fishing has been very strong and pre-spawn and spawning fish can be caught around most any shallow cover. They will take soft plastics bumped on the bottom and reaction baits pulled through the water column. Catfish: Fair. In both lakes catfishing is only fair during the daytime when blue catfish can be caught both deep and shallow. Fresh cut herring and shad are the baits of choice and a few catfish are being caught in the river and on the flats out of Pack’s Landing.

LAKE MURRAY Striper: Fair to good.

Lake World reports the fish are scattered all over, but are fishing pretty good. Some schooling action reported. Go as deep as 30 feet with live bait and free lines. Some trolling results reportedly have produced.

Largemouth bass: Fair.

Lake World says the best action is in the morning around docks. Use crankbaits later in the day. It’s still not quite warm enough for the full spawn. Crappie: Good. Lake World reports that up the lake is the best result. Look around brush in 8-15 feet of water.

LAKE WATEREE Largemouth bass: Fair.

Veteran tournament angler Will Hinson reports that fish are starting to move in shallow with some catching off banks. Check around Beaver Creek, Singleton Creek and Dutchman’s around 15-18 feet. Still a bit chilly for a spawn just yet.

LAKE GREENWOOD Largemouth bass: Fair to good. Some reports of prespawn action and it’s likely there is some spawning going on. The water is high and quite muddy so most fish are shallow. Catch them on ARigs, JWill Swimbaits, spinnerbaits, lizards and plastics. The next full moon should bring on the spawn.

LAKE MONTICELLO Catfish: Good. The baitfish are moving shallower and the big blues are following. Many fish are also feeding on mussels. The most productive depths have been 10 to 40 feet deep, and fishing mid-way to all the way back into the coves has been productive. Shallower humps and points are also producing. Anchoring has been most effective, and right now fish are taking a variety of sizes and types baits.

LAKE RUSSELL Crappie: Fair. For now

some fish can be found in shallow pockets with wood in about 2-3 feet of water.

Striped bass: Slow. The striper bite remains elusive on Lake Russell, The most successful pattern should be fishing free lined live shiners (because of their durability).

LAKE THURMOND Crappie: Good. Catch fish throwing minnows to shallow brush and casting jigs at the banks. Look in the shallow coves and the backs of creeks all across the lake, including the Georgia and South Carolina Little Rivers. On the upper end of Clarks Hill the crappie bite is very strong. Anchor and cast minnows 2 feet under a float towards little pockets with driftwood and spawning banks, which are characterized by steep sandy or gray dirt bottoms (not clay or rock) with scattered stumps, trees and rocks.

Striped and Hybrid Bass: Good. The stripers are being caught on cut bait and lures by anglers fishing right in front of the dam in the evenings. Fishing down lines close to the bottom in 20-22 feet of water is also productive, and pulling herring slowing behind weighted planer boards has also been effective.

LAKE WYLIE Catfish: Good to very good. Drift fishing for blue catfish has been very strong in major creeks mouths.

The channel catfish bite in the upper Catawba has also been very strong where creeks are flowing into the main river.

Largemouth Bass: Good.

Bass are looking to move into protected spawning pockets with firm bottoms and good cover. Spinnerbaits, shallow crankbaits and jigs are all good for prespawn fish that are staging.

White perch: Good. Find white perch feeding well in the upper sections of major feeder creeks.

LAKE JOCASSEE Trout: Fair to good. Fishing has been good although getting keepers in the boat has been a challenge some days. Fish are pushed up in the creeks around bait, and they can be caught from the surface down to 40 feet on Sutton 31s and live shiners.

LAKE KEOWEE Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Fair. Fish on many parts of Lake Keowee bass have not completed their springtime move towards the banks. However, around the warm water discharge from the power plant, and in the northwest areas of the lake, water temperatures have risen enough that some fish may already be on the beds.

Wind-blown pockets have also been productive, and fishing small crankbaits that imitate the bait can be effective.

By Candace Havens FYI Television, Inc. Designer Nate Berkus is passionate about his work. On his new reality competition, he’s looking for someone who shares his love for transforming homes into beautiful showplaces. Each week, two teams take on a major project that must be renovated in a matter of days.

The 12 contestants are professional designers and must perform miracles if they want to win on “American Dream Builders,” airing Sunday at 8 p.m. on NBC. The style of homes varies and the designers are expected to bring out the beauty in whatever architecture is there. “We picked homes based on architectural style,” Berkus says.

“A lot of people look for design inspiration in other countries, other places, and what we thought would be really special would be to highlight the different architectural styles that we have here in the United States. So, we picked them based on the architecture and the design, from Spanish style to Tudor style to mid century modern log cabin. We travel through these different eras and these different types of homes [that] all need to be restored to their former glory.”

“They’re homes that are owned by people,” adds executive producer Tom Shelly. “I would say that they’re in disrepair; it’s a very connective disrepair for America. I mean, everybody has something they want done with their home. Some people have been hit harder than others with the economy. It’s not so much that they’re literally falling apart, though, in some cases they are.

It’s really about the real people of America and what you want done with your home and how they can be elevated by these incredibly talented people.”

Joining Berkus on the reality show as judges are designer Monica Pedersen (“Bang for Your Buck”) and Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL star Eddie George. While he might not be the first person one might think about when it comes to design, George has been doing landscape architecture for years.

“When I was playing at Ohio State, instead of taking basket weaving as a major, I decided I wanted to jump into landscape architecture, and I wanted to really challenge myself,” George says. “I fell in love with the whole concept of designing a space through materials, plant materials, creating memorable spaces. I got my degree in 2001, graduated and started my own firm, the Edge Group, based in Columbus, Ohio, and Nashville, Tenn., since 2003. I went on and got my MBA from Kellogg, and I’ve been trying to grow that business, sustain that business through some tough economic times. This opportunity presented itself for me not only to show the talents of a landscape architect, but also to be creative in that regards, as well. So, it’s been a great opportunity for me.”

“Can I just say, Eddie brings something really special to this show,” adds Berkus. “As a judge, what’s fantastic is obviously the background with the NFL. These 12 people are leaders in their industry.

They’re not trying to become anything. They already are. So, they’re 2:30

used to being the boss. They have legions of assistants and massive budgets in their regular lives, and we’re forcing these people who have 12 massive egos to work as teams. When they don’t work well together, Monica and I are like hiding under the desk. It’s so scary when people aren’t good team players. There’s an eye for detail that Eddie brings as well to the exteriors of the homes, and through the course of this show you’ll see Eddie open up a lot to the inside. So, it’s been great because I think what Eddie brings to the competition is entirely different than what Monica and I bring. It’s interesting to see the contestants react to Eddie’s judgment week after week because, if they don’t get the details right, he notices every time.”

George also brings a practicality to the design element. “Eddie keeps it real, too,” Pedersen adds. “With interior design, we have these super high end designers. They can easily get carried away into a level of design where sometimes it’s hard for us to understand. Nate and I will understand it and get really excited about it, and then we’re like, ‘Breathe,’ and then Eddie comes in. Eddie sits on the furniture. He checks it out. It’s a lot of pressure as designers to know that a former NFL star is coming in to check it out.”

“Because they like really pristine, clean lines and these artistic looking rooms,” George elaborates. “I’m like, ‘Is it comfortable? Can you sit here comfortably and watch television and have a conversation?’ And nine times out of 10, it’s no.”
