Friday shooting began with argument 45-year-old man killed in dispute FROM STAFF REPORTS An argument between two men on Friday afternoon led to a fatal shooting of a 45-year-old near the intersection of Council and Bartlette streets. Officers with Sumter Police Department responded to the shooting shortly after 3 p.m. and found the body of Jermaine Williams, of 2725 Lowder Road, in the roadway, states a news release from the police department. Nathan McBride, 74, of 205 Council St., was apprehended at his home a short time after the shooting and is now being held at Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center, according to the reMCBRIDE lease. McBride, who also goes by the last name of Smoot, is charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Information collected so far during the investigation indicates that an argument between McBride and Williams began that afternoon while the men were at McBride’s home. The release states that the victim left the residence in his vehicle and McBride soon followed. Williams was then fatally wounded after he stopped and exited his vehicle in the 40 block of Council Street. The subject of the argument was not mentioned in the release. A weapon used in the shooting has been recovered. The investigation is continuing.

Sumter police learn about opioid overdose

Sgt. Keith Eudy, with Greenville County Emergency Medical Services, speaks Wednesday during a Law Enforcement Officers Naloxone Training Course at Sumter Police Department about a heroin overdose that occurred in his county.

Danny Lyles’ Golden Edge edging blades are now available for sale in the Sumter area as well as online.

Local lawn care service owner finds success with edger blades BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com Daniel Lyles, owner of Daniel’s Lawn Care Service and winner of Sumter’s first Startup Weekend in February, has expanded his job description to include selling a product since the success of his edge cutter, the Golden Edge. Lyles and his team won the entrepreneurial competition after presenting a business model for his patented Golden Edge, a carbidetipped edger blade coated in zinc. The Golden Edge outlasts traditional edger blades 50 to 1, he said.

Since the competition, Lyles has been busy getting his product sold in brickand-mortar stores throughout the state. The blades are sold at stores in Sumter, Manning, Columbia, Lexington, Charleston and Walterboro, Lyles said. He said he is looking for more contacts to expand the sale of his product. He started out just selling the blades to friends and local lawn care businesses and has now shipped blades to Hawaii, California and Michigan, he said. “It’s been exciting,” Lyles said, referring to his venture into the world of selling a product, as opposed to offer-

ing a service. You learn as you go and try to find different ways to make the process work, he said. Lyles said he goes to bed thinking about the blades and strategies to increase the Golden Edge’s reach. He said the most challenging thing about selling a product is waiting for the Golden Edge to become a nationally sold product. “I want to move at a fast pace,” he said. Lyles said he is better prepared for the next steps for the Golden Edge blade with the experience he has gained so far. He said the lawn care ser-

vice that he started when he was in college is still doing well with the help of his employees. The lawn care services will always continue, he said. For more information about the Golden Edge, visit www.goldenedge.pro or call Daniel Lyles at (803) 4064709. The blades can be purchased locally at M&M Enterprise in Manning and Watson’s Small Engines, Equipment Rental Services, Dad’s Small Engines and Carolina Supplies in Sumter. To request services from Daniel’s Lawn Care, call (803) 968-4185.

An inexpensive prescription for better health

f there was an inexpensive prescription with few negative side effects designed to improve your health, would you take it? Approximately 50 percent of an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health status is determined by oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s habits and modifiable lifestyle behaviors. The former director of the National Institute on Aging says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If exercise could be packed in a pill, it would be the single most widely prescribed and beneficial medicine in the nation.â&#x20AC;? Yet, a survey shows that only 34 percent of U.S. adults reported having received exercise counseling at their last medical visit. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, most Americans do not get enough exercise on a regular basis. In fact, only about 15 percent of Americans are regularly active. Exercise is one of the most important

things you can do for your health. There is strong evidence that regular physical activity can help prevent and treat type 2 diabetes, blood lipid disorders, heart disease, stroke, high Missy blood pressure, obesiCorrigan ty and its associated metabolic diseases as well as prevent osteoporosis, delay the onset of aging, and improve psychological well-being and functional capacity. The most health benefits come when inactive people become moderately active. Both aerobic and muscle strengthening exercise programs help, but it must be done regularly in order to maximize the long-term benefits.

Just 20 minutes of brisk walking a day can add up to the recommended 150 minutes of activity needed to improve quality of life as well as prevent and treat diseases. Physical inactivity is a rapidly growing public health problem that contributes to chronic diseases and health complications. Globally, physical inactivity is the fourth leading cause of death. Even with all the benefits physical activity has to offer Americans are experiencing an inactivity epidemic with tremendous costs. Physical inactivity costs the U.S. health care system more than $100 billion annually. Eighty percent of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care costs are related to chronic diseases caused by modifiable lifestyle behavior choices. In 2007, ACSM and the American Medical Association launched a global health initiative, Exercise is Medicine,

to establish physical activity as a standard in health care. This encourages primary care physicians and other health care providers to include exercise when prescribing treatment plans for patients. EIM thinks that regular exercise is crucial to the prevention and treatment of chronic disease and should be regularly assessed as a part of medical care. While it is important to discuss starting an exercise program with your physician, there are very few, if any, negative side effects with beginning a walking regimen. If you have been inactive for a long time, start with five minutes and increase the time by five minutes every two weeks until you reach 20 minutes a day for four to seven days a week. No need to wait; all you need is a good pair of shoes to get started walking.

Department of Health and Environmental Control Bureau of Emergency Medical Services Arnold Alier, director of S.C. Bureau of Emergency Medical Services, second from right, describes the symptoms of an opioid overdose to Sumter Police Department officers during a Law Enforcement Officers Naloxone Training course on Wednesday. The course is designed to train officers to recognize opioid overdose symptoms and to administer a nasal spray form of medication that can subdue those symptoms until medical services arrive.

OPIOIDS FROM PAGE A1 as Narcan, a medication that can be used to stop the effects of an overdose and possibly save a life, according to a news release from the police department. From 2001-14, the number of opioid drug-related deaths has more than doubled, states the release. In 2014, 516 deaths in South Carolina were reportedly related to opioid drugs, and that number continues to grow according to Law Enforcement Officers Naloxone Training instructors. The Law Enforcement Officers Naloxone Training was developed through the efforts of Anderson County Emergency Medical Services and Special Operations Division, South Carolina Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services, S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control Bureau of EMS, the Fifth Circuit Solicitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office and Greenville County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. On Wednesday, officers learned how to differentiate between an opioid overdose and other symptoms and how to administer the nasal spray during the two-hour course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are the first officers in this region to carry these,â&#x20AC;? said Assistant Fifth Circuit Solicitor Joe Shenkar, who wrote the state law that allows law enforcement officers and other first responders to recognize and treat someone who is experiencing an opioid drug overdose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are just do good, no foul kinds of actions.â&#x20AC;? About eight other agencies in the state, mostly in the upstate, Charleston area and Richland County, have received training, said Tonyia McGirt, public information officer with the police department. The Naloxone spray is probably the easiest way to carry and administer the medication, she said. McGirt said officers already

have basic training in CPR and other life-saving techniques and carrying Naloxone will allow officers to assist someone experiencing an opioid overdose before emergency medical services arrive. A matter of minutes can make the difference in whether a person lives or dies, she said. During the two-hour class on Wednesday, instructors described the signs of an overdose, explained the appropriate response to someone experiencing an overdose, how to use the medication and provisions under the S.C. Overdose

Prevention Act of 2015, McGirt said. She said trainees were later quizzed on the proper response during a scenario involving an overdose. The 10 officers who participated in Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training will be responsible for helping train other officers in the lifesaving steps. Ultimately, all of the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s officers will receive instruction, McGirt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This drug knows no bounds,â&#x20AC;? said Arnold Alier, director of S.C.

‘Whoa!’ Big-eyed squid could be a new

species THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Encased in plaster, the 4-foot-long, 2,500-pound remains of a Tyrannosaurus rex skull are moved by fork lift to a wheeled cart behind the loading dock of the Burke Museum on Thursday in Seattle.

Rare Tyrannosaurus rex skull arrives at Seattle museum BY PHUONG LE The Associated Press

EATTLE — Paleontologists with Seattle's Burke Museum

have unearthed the bones of a Tyrannosaurus rex that lived more than 66 million years ago, including a rare nearly complete 4-foot-long skull. The remarkable discovery includes the dinosaur's vertebrae, ribs, hips and lower jaw bones, and represents about 20 percent of the meat-eating predator. Several dozen scientists, volunteers, students and others worked over the summer to excavate the bones in the Hell Creek Formation in Montana, a site well known for fossil finds. The team later encased the massive skull in a protective plaster cast, lifted the 2,500-pound load onto a flatbed truck with the help of local Montana ranchers and drove it to Seattle. The skull was unloaded at the Burke Museum on Thursday. The plaster-covered skull will be on display to the public for several weeks. Over the next year, paleontologists will painstakingly work on removing the rock around the skull. Scientists estimate the dinosaur is 85 percent the size of the largest T. rex discovered and, based on the size of its skull, lived about 15 years. They think this T. rex roamed the earth in the late Cretaceous period. There are only 14 other nearly complete T. rex skulls that have been found, the museum said. "We think the Tufts-Love Rex is going to be an iconic specimen for the Burke Museum and the state of Washington and will be a mustsee for dinosaur researchers as well," Gregory Wilson, a University of Washington biology professor and adjunct curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Burke Museum, said in a statement. He led the expedition team. The T. rex is named after two museum paleontology volunteers, Jason Love and Luke Tufts, who were combing for fossils when they came across large fossilized vertebrae sticking out of a rocky hillside last summer. The two were with a team collecting fossils as part of the Hell Creek Project, currently led by Wilson and started by Jack Horner, who discovered the world's first dinosaur embryos, and Nathan Myhrvold, former Microsoft chief technology officer who is a Burke Museum research associate. The team knew the fossils belonged to a meat-eating dinosaur because of the large size and appearance of the bones, but they weren't sure whether it was a T. rex. They didn't have the chance to excavate further until this summer when they returned to the site. Over the course of a month, Burke paleontologists and others used tools such as jackhammers, axes and shovels to dig up the bones. They first removed

about 20 tons of rock and then dug further to uncover pelvic bones and other parts. More digging led to the most amazing find: the right side of the T. rex skull, including snout and teeth. Scientists think the other half of the skull is there as well. They plan to return to the site next year to search for that and other dinosaur parts. Horner, a Burke Museum research associate who built a vast collection of dinosaur specimens while at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana, said in the statement that the discovery was "one of the most significant specimens yet found."

BY ALINA HARTOUNIAN The Associated Press A team of scientists and technicians scanning the rocky ocean floor off Southern California couldn't contain their excitement when they spotted a bright purple, googly-eyed stubby squid. They let out a collective "whoa" on video posted on the Exploration Vessel Nautilus' Facebook page as a camera on a remote-operated vehicle came across the iridescent cephalopod with giant round eyes. Then the jokes started. "He has weird eyes!" said one enthusiastic observer. "Get close! Get close!" urges another. One suggested it resembled a child's dropped toy, and another said the creature's eyes appeared to be painted on. "It looks so fake," says one member of the Nautilus' team. The creature looks like a cross between a squid and an octopus but is closely related to a cuttlefish, according to the Nautilus Live website. The find could be more than just bemusing. "In addition to the

The creature could be a new species, he wrote in an email to the expedition. It was spotted at nearly 3,000 feet deep, which is unusual, but not unheard of. But, on top of that, the stubby squid didn't have chromatophores, cells that allow

it to change color, as members of its species do, Vecchione said. The question can't be answered because this particular stubby squid remains deep in the ocean, out of scientists' reach. The Nautilus team is part of a four-month Ocean Exploration Trust expedition to map underwater fault zones from Canada to California and understand ecosystems around them.

Plunge toward Niagara Falls on a zip line Riders experience nature at 40 mph BY MICHAEL HILL The Associated Press Niagara Falls is the latest natural wonder to add a zip line, offering honeymooners and everyone else the chance to take an adrenaline-pumping plunge toward churning mist at speeds topping 40 mph. The elevated cable rides have evolved from a novel way to explore jungle canopies to almost necessary additions to lure tourists in the 21st century to established destinations. It's a trend that's exposed a rift between those who approach nature like contemplative monks and others who require an extreme, Indiana Jones-style experience. "We can't make these into museums," argued Tom Benson, co-founder and chief experience officer at WildPlay Element Parks, which built the Niagara Falls zip line. "How do you take a teenager and get them away from a game console to something that is going to capture their imagination?" The booming popularity of commercial zip lines over the past five years — there are at least 200 in the United States alone — means more people are experiencing nature in a way that would make Thoreau dizzy. They can ride above the tree line at New River Gorge in West Virginia, over California's Catalina Island, above lush Hawaiian landscapes and in view of Denali in Alaska. A zip line ride in Mexico's Copper Canyon runs more than 1 1/2 miles, one in Nepal has a drop of 2,000 feet, and another in Sun City, South Africa, boasts top speeds of 100 mph. "You feel all this air rushing past you; it's this great almost roller coaster-esque feeling," Quillan Brady said after riding on the new Eagle Flyer zip line at Lake George in New York's Adirondacks. "But really, what I think makes it is looking around and seeing all this natural New York beauty." Niagara Falls-area resident James Bannister doesn't quite see it that way. To him, the new zip line there amounts to a "circus midway-style attraction." "Every once in a while somebody comes along and says, 'Boy, you could build another great attraction here!' As if the

Zip line fans say it's still possible to marvel at nature while whizzing above it at highway speeds. At Niagara Falls, WildPlay's Benson said his four lines an-

gling 2,200 feet along the Canadian side of the gorge were designed to be sensitive to the local environment. Catalina Island's zip line makes stops for presentations at designated "eco-stations." And riders of the Lake George zip line who were

questioned after their rides said they had a new perspective on the natural wonder. The owner of the Lake George line, Ralph Macchio Sr. (father of the "Karate Kid" actor with the same name), said he got the idea for his attraction by gazing out from

atop the majestic Adirondack peaks. "I thought, 'Gee, if you could look at it like you were flying like a bird and get that view, that would be an Adirondack experience,'" Macchio said. "And that's why I built the zip line."

THE SUMTER ITEM

Hemingway antlers taken by Hunter S. Thompson returned BY KEITH RIDLER The Associated Press BOISE, Idaho — A young Hunter S. Thompson went to Idaho to write about Ernest Hemingway and decided to take a piece of his hero home with him — a set of trophy elk antlers. More than half a century later, the gonzo journalist's wife returned the antlers to Hemingway's house in the mountain town of Ketchum. "He was embarrassed that he took them," Anita Thompson told The Associated Press on Thursday, noting the deep respect her husband had for Hemingway's work. "He wished he hadn't taken them. He was young, it was 1964, and he got caught up in the moment. "He talked about it several times, about taking a road trip and returning them," she said. She gave back the antlers Aug. 5 to Ketchum Community Library, which helps catalog and preserve items in the residence where the author took his own life. It's now owned by the Nature Conservancy. In 1964, Hunter Thompson, then 27, came to Ketchum when he was still a conven-

Woman leads effort to donate 20,000 bras to homeless BY VANESSA A. ALVAREZ The Associated Press SILVER SPRING, Md. — A Maryland woman has collected and delivered more than 20,000 new and gently used bras and 50,000 feminine hygiene products to shelters across the country. Dana Marlowe, a mother of two who works from her Silver Spring home, says she was motivated to donate her own bras folMARLOWE lowing a 35pound weight loss reduction. A year ago, Marlowe put out a call to family and friends on social media. The response was so great, she asked her husband to create a website for what she dubbed "Support the Girls." Now the non-profit organization boasts chapters in several U.S. cities, Canada, Mexico and Australia, with donations from all over the world. Marlowe says new partnerships with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and corporations will help bring steady donations for years.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Anita Thompson pulls trophy antlers out of her car trunk while returning them to the former home of writer Ernest Hemingway on Aug. 5 in Ketchum, Idaho. Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson so admired the set of trophy elk antlers when he visited the central Idaho home of Hemingway that he stole them. tional journalist. He had not yet developed his signature style, dubbed gonzo journalism, that involved inserting himself, often outrageously, into his reporting and that propelled him into a larger-

than-life figure. Thompson was writing a story for the National Observer about why the globe-trotting Hemingway shot and killed himself at his home three years earlier at age 61. Thomp-

son attributed the suicide in part to rapid changes in the world that led to upheavals in places Hemingway loved most — Africa and Cuba. Even Ketchum, which in the 1930s and 1940s attracted luminaries such as Gary Cooper, had fallen off the map of cafe society by the late 1950s, Thompson wrote. In the story, later collected in his book "The Great Shark Hunt," he noted the problem of tourists taking chunks of earth from around Hemingway's grave as souvenirs. Early in the piece, he wrote about the large elk antlers over Hemingway's front door but never mentioned taking them. For decades, the antlers hung in a garage at Thompson's home near Aspen, Colorado. "One of the stories that has often been told over the years is the story of Hunter S. Thompson taking the antlers," said the library's Jenny Emery Davidson, who helped accept the trophy. "These are two great literary figures who came together over the item of the antlers." Davidson said historian Douglas Brinkley, who spoke

at the library in May and was familiar with the antler story after interviewing the writer, contacted Anita Thompson. She called the library on Aug. 1. Davidson said the antlers have since been shipped to a Hemingway grandson in New York who wanted them. It's not clear if the antlers came from an elk killed by the author, who was a noted big game hunter, or if they were a gift. Sean Hemingway didn't respond to emails or phone messages seeking comment. Like Ernest Hemingway, Thompson ended his own life by shooting himself, dying in 2005 at age 67 at his Colorado home. His widow wants to turn the house where he lived and worked into a museum, planning to open it next year by invitation only. Like Hemingway's home, it's much the same as it was when Thompson was alive. "I couldn't open it with a clear conscience knowing there's a stolen pair of antlers," Anita Thompson said, noting the theft was unusual behavior, even by her husband's standards.

Volunteers sought to be infected with Zika WASHINGTON (AP) — Wanted: Volunteers willing to be infected with the Zika virus for science. It may sound bizarre, but researchers are planning just such a study — this winter, when mosquitoes aren't biting — to help speed development of much-needed Zika vaccines. The quest for a vaccine began less than a year ago as Brazil's massive outbreak revealed that Zika, once dismissed as a nuisance virus, can harm a fetus' brain if a woman is infected during pregnancy. Now, researchers in the United States have begun safety testing of two vaccine candidates, and more experimental shots are poised to enter that preliminary testing soon. Any that seem promising will have to be tested in thousands of people in parts of Latin America and the Caribbean that are hard hit by the mosquito-borne virus — the only way to prove if an experimental vaccine really protects. Even if all goes well, a vaccine wouldn't be available for general use any time soon. But a different kind of research also can offer clues for vaccine development. It's called a human challenge study, when healthy — and nonpregnant — people agree to be injected with a virus, mimicking natural infection, while scientists track how their bodies react. The first question is even more basic: How much of the virus does it take to infect someone? If government regulators agree, researchers could find out by injecting paid volunteers with different amounts of labgrown Zika virus as early as December in a Baltimore hospital. That information will help the researchers later when they're ready to test an experimental Zika vaccine. "We're looking at these human challenge protocols not only as an important step in vaccine development, but as a means to learn more about Zika," said Dr. Anna Durbin of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, who is leading the work. "We can look at things that you just can't do in someone who's naturally infected." Some questions and answers about the development of Zika vaccines:

Fauci expects to open nextstep studies in January, enrolling 2,400 to 5,000 people in areas where Zika still is spreading widely to test if the vaccinated are less likely than the unvaccinated to become infected.

ARE VACCINES AIMED AT PREGNANT WOMEN? Not at this point. It's hard to test new products during pregnancy. Plus, a fetus can be vulnerable to Zika even before a woman realizes she's pregnant. The goal instead is to vaccinate women of childbearing age and their sexual partners — because Zika also can be transmitted through sex — well before pregnancy ever occurs.

WHERE DO THE HUMAN CHALLENGE STUDIES COME IN? Jabbing someone with Zika is faster than waiting around for a mosquito to bite them to see if an experimental vaccine provides protection. But first Durbin must find what dose of Zika causes infection, to be

sure she's giving a vaccine enough of a challenge. That's what the study planned for December would do. Volunteers given different amounts of Zika would be kept in a Hopkins hospital unit for 12 days, to be sure the virus had cleared the bloodstream, and would have to agree to use condoms for a while afterward to avoid any possibility of sexual transmission. Because Zika usually causes few if any symptoms, those infected might expect a

rash or low fever. The second round of the research would recruit volunteers who'd received an experimental vaccine, trying to infect them with Zika six months after their shot. The extra benefit: Tracking people from the moment they're exposed to Zika also could shed important new light on how the virus affects the body — such as how long it's infectious in blood, semen and other bodily fluids, and just how the immune system

fights it off.

HAS THIS BEEN DONE BEFORE? Human challenge studies are rare because they're difficult to perform and expensive. But Durbin recently did just such research to test a potential vaccine against dengue, a dangerous cousin of Zika, and doesn't expect difficulty recruiting volunteers for the Zika study once regulators are satisfied it can be conducted safely.

WHICH POTENTIAL VACCINES ARE FIRST IN LINE? Two so-called DNA vaccines have begun preliminary safety testing, one made by the National Institutes of Health and the other by Pennsylvaniabased Inovio Pharmaceuticals. They mark a new kind of technology. Traditionally, vaccines are made using a dead or weakened virus to train the body's immune system to recognize that infection and fight it off. DNA vaccines may be easier to make. Scientists used a circular piece of DNA, called a "plasmid," to carry genes that prompt the body itself to produce certain Zika virus proteins, alerting the immune system. That piece of trickery worked in animals. The phase 1 studies in dozens of people will check for safety and whether the vaccinations rev up human immunity enough to justify further tests.

WHAT ELSE IS IN THE PIPELINE? "We are right now in a race of time to get the best vaccine," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Multiple candidates are important as there's no way to predict which kind will work best. The DNA vaccines simply were ready for human testing first. In October, safety tests are set to begin using the more traditional killed-virus vaccine, developed by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. The NIH also is developing a vaccine using live but weakened virus, the type thought to trigger particularly long-lasting immune protection. That's the kind used to protect against rubella, which back in the 1960s caused an epidemic of birth defects.

COMMENTARY

A nice column about Trump W

ASHINGTON — When my syndicate editor told me a few clients had been asking, Don’t you have anyone over there who can write something positive about Donald Trump?, I thought, well, that could be fun. But hard. Then, as if the Muses and Fates had conspired to help me in this Olympian task, everything in Trump World changed. Not only did Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Kathleen Manafort resign followParker ing reports of his involvement in Ukrainian politics but Trump hired a woman, Kellyanne Conway, to become his new campaign manager. And: He suddenly started being nice. Call it a woman’s touch or the desperation of a faltering candidate, but Trump was even kind of cute Thursday when he expressed regret for some of his ill-chosen words during the campaign, especially those that might have caused personal pain, presumably in others. What’s next, a prayer for forgiveness of sins? If his comments weren’t strictly an apology, they at least were an acknowledgment of error. They also indicated that Trump can learn new tricks. He’s trainable and, apparently, is open to ideas not his own. Clearly, this was a tectonic plate-shifting moment in a campaign previously defined by insult and arrogance. “Sometimes I can be too honest,” he said, brilliantly setting up his opponent’s fatal flaw: “Hillary Clinton is the exact opposite. She never tells the truth.” It’s no coincidence that Conway, a veteran of the anti-Clinton wars, is also a pollster. Who better to turn things around than someone who pays her bills by measuring the public’s temper? More important, Conway specializes in women voters. Her firm, The Polling Company, Inc./WomanTrend, has monitored women’s thinking on a wide variety of issues since 1995. Her handiwork, which previously has included telling Republicans to stop using the four-letter word “rape” in campaigns, is in clear evidence with her newest client. Which means, I suppose, that this positive Trump column is really about Conway. Will her magic work to shift women and swing voters toward Trump? Which is the real Trump? The guy who insults everybody or the one who almost says he’s sorry and wants to bring the country together? Can he sustain this new persona and for how long? Attention span isn’t his strong suit, but then neither is it America’s. We are still soon to the pivot so we’ll wait and see. Unless Trump has been projecting someone else the past year just to capture the conservative, white male voter who was never going to vote for Clinton, anyway, there’s every reason to believe his impetuousness will prevail.

‘The man is funny, even at his meanest. What many have found repugnant about his style was indeed the secret to his success. People love hearing said aloud what they’re really thinking.’

Moreover, it’s questionable whether voters can be swayed by a sudden personality change, even among those who readily grant second chances to the penitent. Will women suddenly forget everything Trump has said while being “too honest”? Will African-Americans buy Trump’s promise that their lives will be “amazing” if they vote for him? Will the seed Trump planted of Clinton’s bigotry, seeing blacks only as votes, take root? Such a statement from any other Republican would burst into flames from the volatile combination of hypocrisy and absurdity, but nearly everyone understands that Trump isn’t really a Republican. The outsider non-politician who regrets saying hurtful words, who is sometimes “too honest” but “will never lie” to the people may surprise us. At least he has offered a sliver of decency to those looking for something to cling to — a little humility, a smattering of remorse, a human connection — to help them justify voting for anybody but Clinton. Trump has been losing ground essentially because of the cumulative effect of his persistent nastiness. Add to this his off-the-cuff remarks about maybe using nukes, leaving NATO to its own resources, his praise of dictators and strongmen, and he was someone you wouldn’t want anywhere near the football. Or oneself, as Washington Post Editorial Page Editor Fred Hiatt wrote so brilliantly, saying Trump was the person you hoped wouldn’t be seated next to you at a dinner party. On the other hand, I’ve long admired the sentiment popularized by Alice Roosevelt Longworth: If you can’t say something good about someone, sit right here by me. Who better than Trump? The man is funny, even at his meanest. What many have found repugnant about his style was indeed the secret to his success. People love hearing said aloud what they’re really thinking. But that was then — and for now at least, it appears to be Conway’s show: No more insults, stick to script, focus on Clinton’s dishonesty. It just might work.

One child at a time; neighborhood adventures An inspirational story we reported this past week was Konstantin Vengerowsky’s piece on the AmeriCorps Program that is helping students struggling with literacy. You can find it here: http://bit.ly/2bChs8S. According to our story, “The program’s goal is to serve about 540 children in kindergarten through third grade this school year at 11 service site locations in Sumter County and three locations in Lee County.” The people who do this work in a community are real heroes. One such person highlighted in the story was a man named Arthur Conally, 67, who was described as “a retired mental health and substance abuse counselor aide. He also worked in the railroad industry.” “Many of the children who may be struggling come from very low-income homes, some with single parents,” he said. “I hope to be instrumental in helping these students. You have to have education to be successful in today’s world, and some children are not aware of that. If they can get that education, that will help them achieve their dreams.” “That ties in with developing self-esteem and selfpride,” he said. “Books can really do a lot to bring that knowledge, to help someone achieve what they want in life.” With all the wacky cynicism in the world, it’s easy to forget real people who help others. Congratula-

COMMENTARY tions to all of those who take the time to make difference in those student’s lives. ••• Graham It’s not Osteen exactly Clinton versus Trump, but Sumter has a mayoral race featuring three good candidates you’ll be hearing from and learning more about in the coming weeks. Incumbent Sumter Mayor Joe McElveen faces challenges from William “Dutch” Holland and Charles Jones on Nov. 8. The Sumter Ward 4 race features Randolph Black, Steve Corley, Melissa Evans and Jim McKinney going after the seat being vacated by Colleen Yates. I call that the Historic District/Memorial Park seat. Memorial Park is a great Sumter asset. When we first moved back to Sumter in 1985, we lived in a nightmarish apartment on the top floor of a house on Church Street before renovating a house on West Hampton Avenue, just down from Memorial Park and across from a house my great-grandfather lived in for many years. Paul and Judy Ducom were our neighbors and Helen and Louis Folley lived on the corner. One morning Mrs. Folley called and said she

had something we might be interested in. “Thanks,” I said. “What could that be? Should I come over?” “Yes,” she said. “It’s your darling little daughter. She’s just precious.” The kid was three at the most, and had walked out of the house in nothing but a diaper. She toddled two doors down, presumably on the sidewalk. Of course Mrs. Folley just had to tell my grandmother, her best friend, about it, so we got the “remember that time” reminder on that bad parenting episode for many years. A couple of years later that same child got into the remnants of a bourbon and water that Mrs. Folley put down on a coffee table at our house during a cocktail party. We couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the kid when she started acting a little loopy, then complaining about a stomach ache. We were about to pull out the trusty old Ipecac syrup when she pointed at the cocktail glass and we realized what had happened. She threw up and went to sleep, so everything worked out fine. Mrs. Folley felt terrible about it, but she did quit teasing us about the wandering child incident. Graham Osteen is Editor-AtLarge of The Sumter Item. He can be reached at graham@theitem.com.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR GOVERNMENT SHOULDN’T BE FINANCED BY CURRENT INCOME TAX CODE I wish to address an evil against most working Americans which most politicians ignore. When a person earns a monetary income through the use of his time, brains, muscle and skills, shouldn’t he be entitled to his entire income as private property? Shouldn’t the fruit of his labor be his in its totality to spend according to his financial needs and discretion? Not so with this current tax code and bully IRS to steal a portion without any concern for the bread winner. Taking home gross pay instead of net pay would be an automatic needed pay raise without cost to industry. Government should no longer be financed by the current corrupt income tax code. This code is expensive ($168 billion and 6.1 million man hours yearly); communistic (see Communist Manifesto, page 22); unfair; confusing; promotes dishonesty and laziness; and punishes ambition. The IRS, a tool of tyrants, is also expensive ($168 billion), corrupt, intimidating and worthless. Both need to be totally replaced by a fair national sales tax which, thanks to the Internet, would cost government almost nothing to administer. Federal government can learn to survive on a simple

10 percent sales tax. It’s almost impossible to avoid retail so the dishonest and the criminal who currently avoid income taxes would have to contribute as well as everyone else. The rich who afford new cars, boats, second homes and other luxuries, will pay more and the poor subsidized by food stamps and other government programs will not be hurt. Those who promoted Amendment 16 in 1913 never dreamed that with Social Security, Medicare, Obamacare, Medicaid, etc., added that income tax would become such a burden as it has become. Replace expensive Obamacare with Health Savings Accounts. Federal (non-postal) salaries average $84,000 yearly, up from $79,000 three years ago, while the average American salaries are under $38,000. Household at $51,000, down from about $54,000 several years ago. This is grossly unfair to the average wage earner. It is also unfair for Air Force One to fly at $50 a second to golf courses in California when a motorcade or helicopter could take the president to just as nice a golf course within 20 miles of the White House. The national debt should be and could be diminished. KENNETH A. FORD Sumter

THE SUMTER ITEM From left, Vicki Parnell, Jay Parnell and Evan Hunter, collectively known as the Front Porch Junkies, will provide the music for Sumter Senior Services’ Backyard Jamboree on Friday, Sept. 9.

FROM PAGE A1 again this year. And the band, Front Porch Junkies, with lead vocalist Vicki Parnell, was a big hit with the crowd, too. Front Porch Junkies, the trio of Vicki Parnell, Jay Parnell and Evan Hunter, is looking forward to bringing its acoustic music back to the jamboree again. Vicki Parnell said the band plays “new country, old country, classic rock and new rock. We do some Lee Brice and Hank Williams Jr., and our music is for both a younger type crowd and older.” The band plays often on the Grand Strand, so those attending the jamboree will no doubt hear some beach music throughout the evening, as well. Parnell added that Hunter also plays banjo, which expands the Junkies’ repertoire considerably. In addition to the food, which includes soft beverages, Williams said beer and wine will be available for purchase. Also in charge of the silent auction, Williams said she has quite a few prizes lined up already and expects several more to be

added up to the time of the event. Top prizes so far include Disney World tickets for four adults, as well as tickets for Derby Day, Dollywood, Riverbanks and Asheville, North Carolina, zoos and many more. Williams and Sumter Senior Services Executive Director Dana Strock said the Backyard Jamboree is one of the agency’s biggest fundraisers, along with the annual Sip and Stroll in November and the Microbrew Festival in May. “We’ve been fortunate to receive sponsorships from several businesses, organizations and individuals each year,” Williams said. This year, sponsors include Palmetto Health Tuomey, EMS-Chemie, Wells Fargo. SAFE, Covenant Place, Jackson and Sims Architects, FTC, Jones Chevrolet, Chuck and Sue Fienning and Sumter Hearing Associates. “They recognize the need for services to our growing, aging population,” Williams said. She said sponsorships are still available, noting that because SSS receives little government funding, sponsors and fundraisers are very important to the agency, which is a private, nonprofit organiza-

tion, part of a statewide network of service providers working under the direction of the Lieutenant Governor’s Office on Aging. For almost half a century, SSS has been the primary provider of services for Sumter’s senior citizens. The agency promotes the social, mental and physical welfare of the community’s aging population through programs and services that include home-delivered meals, group dining, transportation, recreation and leisure activities, health and wellness programs and the aforementioned RSVP. Williams said the Backyard Jamboree benefits Meals on Wheels, which has a waiting list of almost 100 elderly persons. Sumter Senior Services’ 12th Annual Backyard Jamboree will be held from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 9, at Swan Lake’s Heath Pavilion off Garden Street. Tickets are $25 for adults; $20 for seniors 65 and older; $15 for children 6 to 12; and free for children under 6. They can be purchased online at www.backyardjamboree.org, by calling (803) 773-5508, or at Sumter Senior Services Administrative Office, 110 S. Salem Ave.

CHARLES A. OWENS Charles Anthony “Tony” Owens, 56, died Thursday, Aug. 18, 2016, at Palmetto Health Tuomey in Sumter. Born Sept. 7, 1959, in Sumter, he was a son of Betty Ruth Roland Owens and the late Charlie Ray Owens. Surviving, besides his mother of Sumter, are his siblings, Nancy Rae Owens Overby (Doug), Kenneth Dean Owens (Barbara), Richard Dale Owens (Carma), Joseph Randal Owens and Gary Wayne Owens Sr. (Susan). In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by two brothers, Michael Roland Owens and Donald Lynn

Trisomy 13 have heart defects, complications with their lungs or brain, and physical defects. Ninety-seven percent of babies born with Trisomy 13 do not live to their first birthday, she said. Morris said Easton was also diagnosed with Pertussis, which he later recovered from, and she urges parents to be aware of the seriousness of the illness. Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, can be deadly, she said. The idea of the blood drive was initiated by Morris when she urged friends and family to donate blood to help others in need after Easton’s diagnosis. Morris said her son benefited from blood donations while in the hospital. After Easton passed, Morris’ family and friends came together to organize the blood drive in memory of her son. Tina Thompson, Morris’ sister-in-law, made calls to the pastor of Lakewood Baptist Church, Morris’ father, and American Red Cross to organize the blood drive. “I cried like a baby when I held him for the first time,” she said referring to Easton. “He could melt your heart.” It was very hard on the family when Easton passed, she said. Thompson said she was told that the drive may only have about 50 donors but more than 40 people were scheduled to donate when the drive started at 10 a.m. Saturday. There were also many walk-ins, she said. Breanne Ramsey, Morris’ niece, set up the Facebook

event to invite friends and family to the blood drive. More than 30 people scheduled an appointment for the drive after a day and a half, she said. The day of the blood drive, 86 people on the Facebook event page planned to donate, she said. Although Ramsey never got to meet Easton in person she was able to keep up with his life by reading the health updates that Morris posted on Facebook. Ramsey said she plans to make a photo book of everyone who donated on Saturday for Morris. Easton was a blessing to the world although he was here for a short time, said Walter Thames, a member of Lakewood Baptist Church who donated blood on Saturday. “Because of that little fellow, I will donate again,” he said. Morris said Saturday’s blood drive was a way for her son to live on. Easton touched a lot of lives at only 4 months old, she said. His feet never touched the ground and he never said a word, but he managed to bring many people to Christ, she added. Morris said it was very overwhelming to see so many donating blood in honor of her son on Saturday. “My heart is so grateful that people would come out and do this in memory of Easton,” she said. Morris said there have been discussions about making the blood drive an annual event to remember her son and provide blood for others who need it.

Getting a wakeup call

Crestwood explodes for 21 second-quarter points in 47-12 victory over Lower Richland in resumed game

DENNIS BRUNSON/THE SUMTER ITEM

Crestwood running back Tre’Shawn Scarborough (22) stiff-arms a Lower Richland defender in the Knights’ 47-12 victory on Saturday at Lower Richland Stadium. The game was resumed after being suspended on Friday due to lightning.

By DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com HOPKINS — The Crestwood High School football team had a late night and an early morning to get ready to finish its suspended game against Lower Richland on Saturday at Lower Richland Stadium. It may have taken the Knights a little time to get rid of the grogginess, but once they did they rolled to a dominating victory. Leading 7-0 when the game

was suspended midway through the first quarter due to lightning, CHS exploded for 21 points in the second quarter and quarterback Tylas Green connected with wide receiver Joshua Simon for three touchdowns in a 47-12 victory. “The coaches told us we needed to hydrate last night, needed to get our rest as soon as possible,” Green said. “Then we had to come back this morning and finish the job.”

The season-opening victory was the first for Crestwood head coach Roosevelt Nelson, who was starting his third season. In his two previous seasons, the Knights lost their first five games and their first eight games, respectively. “Winning the first game was one of our goals,” Nelson said. “We went out and did it, but it’s just one game. It’s a long season though and we have to get ready for the next game (at Sumter on Fri-

day).” CHS led 7-0 when the game was stopped with 6:51 left in the first quarter on Friday. The teams battled for field position when the game resumed on Saturday, but once the clock went to triple zeros and the second quarter began, Crestwood got its offense cranked up in big-play fashion. The Knights scored three touchdowns in a span of 3 minutes, 34 seconds.

From staff reports Jordan Montgomery keeps turning out quality starts in Triple-A — and he had perhaps his best one on Saturday against Pawtucket. Montgomery, the former Sumter High School, MONTGOMERY Sumter P-15’s and University of South Carolina standout pitcher, twirled seven shutout innings for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday to pick up his third victory CALDWELL since being promoted. He allowed just three hits while striking out eight and walking one to help the RailRiders maintain WITHERSPOON first place in the International League’s North division. He threw 102 pitches and 63 for strikes to lower his earned run average to 0.71. Montgomery, a fourth-round selection of the New York Yankees in the 2014 draft, was 2-1 with a 0.98 ERA in 181/3 innings entering Saturday’s contest against Pawtucket. He had allowed just two earned runs on 16 hits with 18 strikeouts and six walks. Prior to his call-up, the lefthander had a 2.55 ERA in 1021/3 innings pitched for Double-A Trenton. Montgomery allowed 29 earned runs on 94

RIO DE JANEIRO — No gold, no glory. That’s the way it is for the U.S. men’s basketball team. The Americans, the standard in the sport since winning their first 63 games after it debuted 80 years ago in the Olympics, are either winners or failures. There is no celebrating silver. ANTHONY When they say adeus to Rio, it can be with only one thing around their necks to deem the games a success. “That’s what we came here for and we don’t want to leave with anything less than the gold medal,” forward Carmelo Anthony said. Anthony and the Americans will be playing for their third in a row Sunday when they face Serbia, a team of heroes back home no matter what the scoreboard says after 40 minutes. They have restored the pride of a basketball-crazed country, already secured their first medal since becoming an independent nation in 2006. And as they whooped it up following their 87-61 semifinal rout of Australia on Friday, it was easy to think the Serbs’ work was already finished. Their coach won’t let them.

U.S. women win 6th straight Olympic hoops title RIO DE JANEIRO — Geno Auriemma and Diana Taurasi shared a long, emotional embrace. Mission accomplished. The dominant U.S. women’s basketball team did what was expected, winning a sixth consecutive Olympic gold medal and doing it in impressive fashion. In yet another rout, the United States dismantled Spain 101-72 on Saturday. Taurasi and the Americans played nearly flawless basketball in Rio, and were never challenged. They have won 49 consecutive games in the Olympics with only one of those decided by single digits. “It’s amazing isn’t it? I mean when you think, that’s 20 years of 20 years,” Auriemma said. “You know the first one was 96 and here we are 2016. It’s mindboggling when you think about it what this team has been able to accomplish, this program of the USA Basketball program. There is such a level of expectation, there’s such a level of respect for the people at the very top. “We’re doing stuff that may never be done again.” Even with that kind of sustained success by some very talented U.S. teams, this may be the best women’s basketball squad ever assembled. The team won by nearly 40 points a game, but fell

Notre Dame players arrested in 2 incidents INDIANAPOLIS — Notre Dame cornerback Devin Butler was jailed Saturday after a police officer said the player punched and slammed him to the ground outside a bar, and five teammates were arrested in a separate incident when a trooper found marijuana and a loaded handgun inside their car during a traffic stop. Officers had to use a stun gun to subdue Butler in the altercation outside the Linebacker Lounge in South Bend, according to a probable cause affidavit. South Bend police spokesman Lt. Joe Galea said that after officers broke up a fight inside the bar they saw two women fighting outside when Butler allegedly shoved one of the women. Butler was agitated and when officers told him to back away he allegedly pushed the officers and then attacked one of them. The affidavit says Butler tackled an officer to the ground, punched him several times in the side and stomach and pulled off his duty belt. “He shouted profanities at the officers and started swinging his fist,” Galea said of Butler. The St. Joseph County prosecutor’s office said Butler faced possible charges of resisting law enforcement and battery to a police officer, both felonies. Butler was

being held at the county jail on $10,000 surety bond. The officer Butler allegedly attacked was taken to a hospital for treatment for minor injuries, including a sore wrist, South Bend police spokesman Galea said. According to the affidavit, Butler apologized while he was being taken to jail, “stating that he had been incredibly emotional and intoxicated.” The five other players were arrested Friday night after Indiana State Police said a trooper stopped a car in Fulton County about 35 miles south of South Bend for speeding. The trooper detected the odor of marijuana and with the help of a drugsniffing dog, he found the marijuana and handgun, police said. The university confirmed that those arrested were: cornerback Ashton White, starting safety Max Redfield, wide receiver Kevin Stepherson Jr., linebacker Te’von Coney and running back Dexter Williams. All five were released Saturday afternoon.

Kerber closing in on No. 1 ranking MASON, Ohio — Angelique Kerber reached the Western & Southern Open final Saturday, leaving her one win away from unseating Serena Williams at No. 1. Kerber took control after a 33-minute rain delay in the

first set and beat Simona Halep 6-3, 6-4 in humid, windy conditions, putting her within reach of the world’s top ranking. Williams has led the WTA rankings for 183 consecutive weeks, the second-longest such stretch. A win today over 15thseeded Karolina Pliskova would move Kerber to the top spot in next week’s rankings. Pliskova advanced to the championship by beating Garbine Muguruza 6-1, 6-3. On the men’s side, Andy Murray faced Milo Raonic, whom he beat at Wimbledon, in an evening semifinal. Marin Cilic faced unseeded Grigor Dimitrov in the other semifinal.

Luck, Dalke reach U.S. Amateur final BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. — Australian Curtis Luck birdied the third playoff hole to beat local favorite Nick Carlson in the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur on Saturday. The playoff began on No. 10. Both players parred that hole and birdied No. 11 before Luck was able to reach the green in two on the par-5 12th. Carlson missed a putt for birdie from about 20 feet, ending the match. Luck will face Brad Dalke in today’s 36-hole final at Oakland Hills. Dalke defeated Jonah Texeira 3 and 2. From wire reports

Royals’ secret weapon: The Rally Mantis By ALAN ESKEW The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals didn’t have a postseason prayer.

Cespedes’ blasts power Mets SAN FRANCISCO — Yoenis Cespedes hit two long home runs and an RBI double in his second game back from the disabled list, boosting Bartolo Colon and the New York Mets over the San Francisco Giants 9-5 Saturday. The Mets had lost five of six before topping the team that began the day leading the NL West. The Giants dropped to 11-22 since the All-Star break. Cespedes, who’d been out since Aug. 4 with a strained right quadriceps, drove in three runs. He has 24 homers this season. The slugger’s shot off Matt Moore (7-10) in the third inning went 457 feet, according to Statcast.com. Cespedes added a 418-footer off reliever Jake Peavy in the seventh. Alejandro De Aza hit a three-run homer during a four-run sixth that stretched the Mets’ lead to 7-2. Colon (11-7) allowed two runs, scattering nine hits and a walk in 6 1/3 innings.

Bruce Caldwell Former Sumter High and Sumter P-15’s standout Bruce Caldwell has had a rough few weeks after being placed on the 7-day disabled list twice for the Double-A Springfield Cardinals. He was placed on the DL on Aug. 12 after just coming off another stint on Aug. 5. For the season, Caldwell is batting .246 with nine home runs, 44 runs batted in and a .383 slugging percentage. He was batting .266 with eight homers and 33 RBI when he was selected to the Texas League All-Star Game -during which he hit a 3-run homer. The Cardinals won the first half in the North division and sat just 1 1/2 games out of first as of Friday morning. Caldwell was a 15th-round selection by St. Louis in 2012.

Travis Witherspoon Witherspoon has seen a resurgence after being traded to the York Revolution about midway through this season in the independent Atlantic League. Prior to Saturday’s game, the former Sumter High and Sumter P-15’s standout was batting .308 with six homers and 22 RBI for the Revolution, who won the first half in the Freedom Division and currently sit in second place. Witherspoon batted just .256 with two homers and 13 RBI for the Lancaster Barnstormers before being traded to York after 34 games. His combined stats were still good enough for an All-Star game selection.

Allyson Felix crosses the finish line to complete the United States’ gold-medal winning run in the women’s 4x400-meter relay in the Olympics on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro.

Felix sets mark with sixth track medal The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO — Allyson Felix won a women’s track record sixth Olympic gold medal, helping the United States win the 4x400-meter relay at the Olympics. Felix, who also won gold in the 4x100 relay and silver in the 400 meters, ran the final leg of the race as the Americans won in 3 minutes, 19.06 seconds. Courtney Okolo ran the first leg, followed by Natasha Hastings and Phyllis Francis. LaShawn Merritt anchored the U.S. 4x400-meter relay team to win an Olympic gold medal. Four years after the Bahamas beat the U.S. team, the Americans finished with a time of 2 minutes 57.30 seconds. The Jamaicans brought the baton home .86 seconds later. The defending champion Bahamas took bronze in 2:58.49. Arman Hall, Tony Mc-

Quay, and Gil Roberts set up Merritt for the win. The veteran already has two gold medals from the 2008 Beijing Olympics and eight world championship gold medals stretching as far back as 2005. He won bronze in the 400 earlier this week in Rio. The Rio Games will go down as the best ever on foreign soil for the Americans, who topped their mark of 110 medals at a road Olympics set in Beijing eight years ago.

Host boots Germany Brazil won the medal it wanted the most Saturday, claiming its first Olympic gold in soccer and providing a lift to a beleaguered nation in the process. Neymar scored the clinching goal for Brazil with a nifty penalty kick in a victory that touched off celebrations all across the soccer-obsessed nation.

came the first runner in 40 years to win back-to-back long-distance doubles at the Olympics by taking gold in the men’s 5,000. American runner Paul Chelimo finished second but was later disqualified for a lane infringement. A short time later, track and field’s governing body said Chelimo did not break any rules and would get his medal.

GOLD IN GOLF Inbee Park hasn’t won all year on the LPGA. She has been recovering from ligament damage in her thumb and didn’t play in the last two majors. But on Saturday, the seventime major winner took command with a 5-under 66 and won a gold medal.

TRIATHLON WINNER Coming into the Rio Games, the U.S. had never won an Olympic triathlon gold. Gwen Jorgensen changed that, winning in 1:56:16.

COMMENTARY

Bolt saved his sport — and kept Olympics relevant By EDDIE PELLS The Associated Press

“I think it was a very emotional time. When you’re around these players and you’re around Sue (Bird)and Diana and Tamika (Catchings), and you know that this maybe their last and you’re able to send them out, it’s like graduating seniors back home,” Auriemma said. “And at the same time, you’ve got three young players who’ve never been here before. They get to go home with their first gold medal ever. “There’s just a lot of emotions running through our team and running through our locker room.” Unlike their semifinal win over France when the Americans looked discombobulated for a half, the U.S. was more fluid offensively. It helped having Bird back in the lineup. The four-time gold medalist and team captain missed the semifinal game with a sprained right knee capsule. She wasn’t 100 percent Saturday, but was good enough. The U.S., which beat Spain by 40 in a preliminary round game, got off to a slow start and only led 21-17 after the first quarter. The Americans were up 27-24 in the second quarter before getting going. Auriemma turned to something very familiar to him to spark the Americans. The UConn coach put his five former Huskie players on the court at the same time for the first time in the Olympics and that group started the 16-3 run that blew it open. Breanna Stewart got the spurt started with two free throws. Taurasi then hit consecutive 3-pointers — her first points of the game — as the Americans scored 10 straight. By the time Lindsay Whalen’s layup just beat the halftime buzzer, the U.S. led 49-32 and Spain had just two baskets in the final 6:55 of the half. Whalen finished the game with 17 points, tied for the team lead with Taurasi. Spain never threatened in the second half. Auriemma started the fourth quarter with Bird, Taurasi and Catchings on the court and the game in hand. The three four-time Olympians have had a tremendous impact on USA Basketball over the past 12 years. He took the trio out together for one final time with 5:44 left in the game. Auriemma had said from the start this group was on a mission that is now complete.

“I know just two ways,” Sasha Djordjevic said during his postgame press conference. “You just play basketball or you just play basketball to win. You guys don’t know me, but my answer is B.” Yet the Serbs delivered a happy-to-be-here performance last time they had a crack at the mighty Americans for a championship. They teams met in 2014 in Madrid in the Basketball World Cup final and the Americans romped to a 129-92 victory, finishing a tournament where they won by 33 points per game. “Two years ago in Spain we get into the game not mentally ready,” Serbia captain Milos Teodosic said. “We were too much happy that we reached the final and we had that experience and we cannot allow that to repeat.” The U.S. isn’t expecting it. These Olympics have been way too tough to believe they will end easily. This U.S. team, less talented and experienced then the last two gold medalists, has already had four games decided by 10 points or less, including its 82-76 victory over Spain in the semifinals. The close calls didn’t play well back home, where winning big in basketball is the American way. But they were just what this team needed to get ready for its golden opportunity. “It’s made this journey a little sweeter now that we’re in the gold-medal game,” star forward Kevin Durant said.

Bills blank Giants despite distractions By JOHN WAWROW The Associated Press

The Associated Press

Tennessee linebacker Brian Orakpo (98) chases Carolina quarterback Cam Newton during the Panthers’ 26-16 preseason victory on Saturday’s in Nashville, Tenn.

Panthers top Titans By STEVE MEGARGEE The Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Cam Newton threw for 162 yards and led scoring drives on two of his four series Saturday and the Carolina Panthers defeated the Tennessee Titans 26-16 in a preseason game. The game was delayed about 30 minutes because of lightning late in the third quarter. Newton went 8 of 12 before leaving midway through the second quarter. He opened the game by leading a 93-yard drive that included a 61-yard completion to Ted Ginn Jr. Ginn caught Newton’s pass about 10 yards downfield. Antwon Blake missed a tackle as soon as the catch was made, then the 31-year-old Ginn outraced the other Titans to the end zone. “He’s probably one of the fastest guys in the NFL,” Newton said. “That’s not a reach.

He is. Of course they will (mention) his age, but this is what I say. .... I feel as if when Ted comes to Carolina, this is only team that probably used him in the receiver position the way he wants to and is supposed to. “I think so much of his career he’s been labeled a return specialist, and in the return game, you may have one or maybe two opportunities to prove yourself, so that leaves a lot of tread on the tires for him.” This was the second straight week the Titans have allowed an opponent to score a long touchdown on its opening series. “We take pride in trying to make sure we make stops and put our offense in the best situation,” Titans defensive tackle Jurrell Casey said. “To put them behind like (that) to start the game was very unacceptable for us as a

defense. We pride ourselves on trying to be the No. 1 defense in the league, and to be that we can’t allow things like that to happen.” That opening series also featured two completions to Kelvin Benjamin, who missed the 2015 season with a torn left anterior cruciate ligament after a big rookie year. Benjamin caught a 16-yard pass on the game’s first play from scrimmage and had a 13-yard reception on a third-and-7. Newton also led a 49-yard drive that ended with Graham Gano’s 41-yard field goal. Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota directed three series and went 9 of 10 for 104 yards with one touchdown and an interception. On his final pass, Mariota rolled right and found Harry Douglas in the right corner of the end zone for a 23yard touchdown. Mariota is 14 of 15 through two preseason games.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Quarterback Tyrod Taylor and the “Bad News” Buffalo Bills overcame another series of preseason distractions to beat the New York Giants 21-0 on Saturday. Taylor zipped a 13-yard touchdown pass over the middle to LeSean McCoy to cap his fourth and final series. Backup EJ Manuel then secured the win by leading two touchdown drives on an afternoon that began with Buffalo cutting backup running back Karlos Williams and announcing defensive tackle Marcell Dareus was entering a rehabilitation clinic. The Bills gave up on Williams, who reported to training camp out of shape and was also suspended by the NFL for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Dareus’ decision to seek help came four days after Buffalo’s top-paid player was suspended for violating the league’s substance abuse policy for a second consecutive season. Dareus was suspended for the first four games this season. General manager Doug Whaley didn’t know when Dareus would check into a rehab facility or how long the process would take. “I feel this is the best decision for me, my family and my teammates as I move forward with my career,” Dareus said in a statement released by the team. For New York, quarterback Eli Manning and receiver Odell Beckham Jr.’s preseason debut failed to provide the Giants any

Beckham had one catch for 33 yards, and was targeted three times. Turnovers continued to plague the Giants. Backup quarterback Ryan Nassib lost a fumble when sacked by cornerback Sterling Moore. This came after Nassib threw two interceptions and lost one of three fumbles against Miami. Nassib missed his first seven attempts before hitting rookie tight end Jerell Adams for an 8-yard completion to open his eighth series. Nassib finished 2 of 12 for 25 yards, Backup running back Andre Williams lost a fumble and third-string quarterback Logan Thomas threw two interceptions. Bills rookie running back Jonathan Williams scored on a 1-yard plunge and Manuel completed a 19yard touchdown pass to Greg Little in the second quarter.

Clemson junior quarterback Watson has big insurance policies in place Mandrallius Robinson mrobinso@greenvillenews.com Clemson University quarterback Deshaun Watson is projected to contend for the Heisman Trophy. He is projected to lead Clemson back to the College Football Playoff. He is projected to be a millionaire by May. Watson should be the first quarCaption terback selected in next year’s NFL draft. However, if his draft status is jeopardized by injury, Watson could still be a millionaire.

He has accepted insurance policies that would provide $5 million to cover any careerending injury he may suffer while at Clemson and $5 million for any injury that induces a drastic drop in the NFL draft. In accordance with the NCAA Exceptional StudentAthlete Disability Insurance Program, Clemson is permitted to pay the premiums for up to $10 million in coverage for a career-ending injury and $5 million for loss of draft value. According to a spokesperson in the Clemson athletic department, the premium is estimated at approximately $8,000 per $1 million of cover-

age. It is paid out of the the Student Assistance Fund, which the NCAA allocates annually to each Division I program. Those funds are to be used only for direct student assistance. Former University of South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney capitalized on the NCAA’s insurance initiative with a $5 million policy in 2013 before being selected No. 1 overall by the Houston Texans. The NCAA recognizes the school’s premium payments as a loan and stipulates that athletes must repay that loan after they sign a professional contract or the “disabil-

ity benefits become available due to a covered injury or sickness.” Former South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore benefited from a similar policy he arranged through his family during his junior season. A projected first-round talent, Lattimore suffered two devastating knee injuries during his career at Carolina. He was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers but never recovered well enough from the injuries to play in an NFL game. He retired in 2014 and reaped a $1.7 million payout from the policy. A knee injury curtailed Watson’s freshman season at

Clemson, but he survived last season smoothly. He finished third in Heisman voting while passing for 4,104 yards, rushing for 1,105 and scoring 47 touchdowns. With another season of good health and Heisman hype, Watson’s first NFL contract and accompanying endorsements will make these $5 million insurance policies look like chump change. Jared Goff was the first quarterback selected in last year’s draft, grabbed No. 1 overall by the Los Angeles Rams. In June, he signed a four-year contract worth $27.9 million, with $18.6 million guaranteed.

Wade Hampton spoils West’s Manning debut By TOM O’HARE Special to The Sumter Item

MANNING — Wade Hampton High School spoiled Keith West’s debut as Manning’s football head coach, knocking off the Monarchs 27-13 at Ramsey Stadium on Friday. In a game that was delayed over an hour by lightning, the Devils took a while to get untracked. However, after the Monarchs got out to a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter, Wade Hampton controlled the game over the final three quarters to gain the victory. Manning fell to 0-1 in its season opener while Wade Hampton fell to 1-0. “We came out rolling and had things going pretty good,” said West, the former Sumter High School quarterback. “But after that long delay we came back out and could never get it going again. We couldn’t get off the field on defense and could never get our running game going.” The game started with Wade Hampton’s Deshareoh Williams taking the opening kickoff 46 yards down to the Manning 38-yard line. However, the Monarchs defense did not allow the Devils to cash in on the good field position. A pair of runs resulted in a 1-yard loss, and on third down quarterback Deon Singleton was sacked for a 3-yard loss. On fourth down, Dmonte Dennis blocked Taylor Lee’s punt, handing the ball over to Manning at its 37. After a lightning delay of 1 hour, 6 minutes, play resumed with the Monarchs facing a third down-and-nine situation at the Wade Hampton 29. After quarterback Jalen White scrambled for seven yards, making it fourth-and-two, White found David Fulton wide open on a play-action pass for an apparent touchdown. An illegal procedure penalty negated the score though. White was sacked on the next play to kill the Monarchs’ first march into Wade Hampton territory. The next time the Monarchs got possession, there were no flags thrown when Dejuan Wilson broke free for a 63-yard touchdown run. After Corey McElveen added the extra point, the Monarchs led 7-0 with 2:09 left in the first quarter. The lead did not last long,

After another long kickoff return by Williams set up the Devils at the Manning 48, Singleton rambled 28 yards on an option down to the Manning 1. Williams scored on a 1-yard run on the next play. Lee’s extra point tied things up at 7-7 with 28 seconds left in the opening quarter. Wade Hampton grabbed a 14-7 lead late in the second quarter when it finished off a 15-yard, 82-yard drive when Singleton scored on another 1-yard sneak. The Devils twice converted on fourth down on the drive, once on a sneak by Singleton on a fourth-and-1 and another time on a fake punt when Singleton hit Dazzlin Thompson across the middle for a 22-yard gain on a fourthand-12 from the Devils 30. “We expected after they blocked that first punt they would be coming at our kicker again, so we had a play there we thought would work,” said Devils head coach Matt Fligg. West felt the fake was a turning point. “After that, they went down and scored and it seemed like we never could get any momentum back,” said West. “That was big.” When the Monarchs took over after Singleton’s touchdown, wide receiver David Fulton lost the handle on the ball after catching a pass from White in the left flat, and Wade Hampton’s Trey Phoenix fell

on the fumble at the Monarchs 41 with 2:14 left until halftime. Four plays later, Singleton hit Elijah Wright on a 24-yard touchdown pass with 42 seconds left on the clock. A bad snap foiled the extra point, but the Devils still took a 20-7 lead into halftime. “We were not playing very good football and Manning came out all fired up,” said Fligg. “That delay helped us because we needed to go in and correct some things.” The Monarchs struck first in the second half when White slipped out of a couple of tackles in the backfield and raced untouched down the right sideline to the end zone. The extra point was blocked, keeping things at 20-13 with 6:20 left in the third quarter. However, the Manning offense was unable to mount any scoring threats the rest of the way, and Wade Hampton put the game on ice with 3:03 left in the game when Singleton scored on a 2-yard run that made it 27-13. The touchdown was set up by a 42-yard run by Justin Solomon. “We still need to find some answers before next week,” said West. “We did not pass the ball well, we had trouble running the ball and couldn’t stop them enough on defense.” The Monarchs will look to bounce back next week when they travel to Summerton to take on Scott’s Branch.

Opera House announces full season Legendary Soul Stirrers kick off diverse lineup BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com The Sumter Opera House is following its highly successful 2015-16 season with another slate of national artists who cover a wide range of musical styles. Beginning with the Legendary Soul Stirrers, audiences will hear rock ‘n’ John Berry’s Dec. 9 show will feature his roll, country, bluegrass, jazz and more.

For the intimate, 550-seat theater, those numbers are impressive, Reimer noted. The three sell-out shows from last season, he said, were country singers Lorrie Morgan and Shenandoah and Christian comedian Shonda Pierce. Among the acts anticipated to fill the house in 2016-17, he said, are “established artists such as Doobie Brother John Cowan, country superstars John Berry and Pam Tillis, local artist and songwriter Patrick Davis and the Legendary Soul Stirrers.” Now in his third year as cultural manager, Reimer said he’s excited to be able to bring such a rich variety of talent to Sumter. “There is no doubt arts make all of our lives more interesting, and we are excited to help our community connect with engaging performances,” he said. In addition to the highly established performers, Reimer has booked several artists whose performances he attended in other cities. Among them is Patrick Davis and His Midnight Choir, who will follow the Soul Stirrers’ opener. “He’s a singer and songwriter who wrote songs for Jimmy Buffett and Darius Rucker, among others,” he said. “Right now, he’s opening for Vince Gill on his current tour.

Coaches have an obligation to quiet obnoxious parents DEAR ABBY — I need some words of wisdom from you. This past weekend I went to see my 7-year-old nephew play Dear Abby baseball. ABIGAIL These are all VAN BUREN young kids just learning the game. There was one young player whose father kept shouting horrible things at him like, "Catch like a MAN!" and, "I don't know why I waste my time coming here!" It was horrible to see that poor kid just wilt under his father's abuse. Maybe I should have spoken up, but I was scared. Was there anything I could have said? What can be done under those circumstances? I worry there may be a lot more parents out there like this dad. Say something, Abby! We need your help. Ashamed of that dad in Decatur DEAR ASHAMED OF THAT DAD — Children who are encouraged usually do well at an activity. Those who are bullied, as that child was, do not. What you witnessed was someone trying to relive his own youth through his child. The person to address the belligerent parent should have been the coach of the team. DEAR ABBY — I just want to let you know you changed my life. I'm 68 years old with two grown girls and two grandchildren. My husband and I had the old-fashioned flip phones and were not "into" texting like our children and grandchildren. Every few weeks, we'd get the obligatory phone call from one of the daughters, and I would feel a tinge resentful that both of our girls didn't call more. Along came your column about a grandma who

was miffed because her family didn't call often and were more into texting. I was thinking, "You go, Grandma!" because I identified with her. Your answer surprised me. You told Gram to get with the program and enter her kids' world. Well, that's what I did. I got a new cellphone with a keyboard for texting. (Smartphones are not practical where we live.) Abby, texting has transformed my world! I'm closer than ever with the girls. We send pictures and little "thinking of you" notes. I can never thank you enough for your wise advice. If I hadn't read your response, my life would be the poorer for it. Bless you. Barb in Rodeo, New Mexico DEAR BARB — Your letter brightened my day. You're welcome! But kudos to you for taking it to heart. Technology is constantly evolving and becoming easier to use, and it's meant to help bring people closer. I'm glad it has done that for you. DEAR ABBY — What does it say about my ex-husband who has been paying storage fees on household items ever since our separation and divorce over 20 years ago? Beverly in Nevada DEAR BEVERLY — What it says to me is that your ex is unusually sentimental and/or can afford it. P.S. And why, after all this time, would you care so much that you would write to me about it? Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

Sumter lost extraordinary soldier

Maj. and Mrs. John Paul Gerald are seen before his death during World War II.

Chapel named in Gerald’s memory

oday, Reflections recounts the life and career of Maj. John Paul Gerald, Sumter’s highest-ranking officer lost during World War II. This young man

showed exceptional ability in the classroom as well as on the battlefield. Gerald’s feats inspired a high degree of admiration among his community and friends. His gallantry and sacrifice resulted in his church dedicating a chapel to his memory. “John Paul Gerald was born in Augusta, Georgia, on Sept. 17, 1918, the third and youngest son of Anne Cosgrove Gerald and Robert William Gerald. His early education was obtained from the grade and high schools of Sumter, and he graduated from Sumter High School in 1934 at the age of 15. Because of his scholastic attainments, Sammy Way he earned REFLECTIONS scholarships to University of South Carolina, Wofford College and Furman University. He chose the University (of South Carolina), where he studied for two years, earning excellent marks. “In 1936, he received not one but two nominations to the U.S. Military Academy. This unusual circumstance was in regard to his being nominated by the Hon. James F. Byrnes, then Secretary of State and former Junior Senator from South Carolina and

St. Anne’s Gerald Hall was removed in 1992.

The Gerald Hall Research indicates the building that once housed Gerald Hall was constructed in 1896 by the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy and was originally St. Joseph’s Chapel and was connected to St. Joseph’s Academy. The school was once located on the corner of Magnolia and East Liberty streets; however, a building originally known as the Raffield Arms Apartments was later constructed on the site of the former school. Between 1906 and 1911, the chapel

was used by the St. Anne parish for daily and Sunday Masses. In 1911, the present St. Anne Church was dedicated by Bishop Henry Northrup. In 1930, St. Joseph’s Academy was removed, and the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy moved into the Shelley-Brunson home, and the parish continued to use Gerald Hall. The chapel would eventually be removed in 1992 to make additional room for the expanding school facilities that began in 1955.

The interior of Gerald Hall is seen in 1990 when it was still in use as a chapel. The building was torn down two years later.

In December, 1943, he was ordered to the Indiantown Gap Military Reservation in Pennsylvania and served there until February, 1944, when he sailed for England with the 85th Cavalry Reconnaissance Battalion (Mechanized), attached to the 5th Armored Division, with which he served until his death on Oct. 17, 1944, while serving as Commanding Officer of the Battalion.” According to research on the Catholic history of Sumter, Gerald was the only member of the St. Anne Catholic Church membership to lose his life during the conflict. He holds the distinction of being the highest-ranking officer from Sumter to be killed in action. “The parish hall of St. Anne’s Catholic Church was dedicated as ‘The Major John Paul Gerald Memorial Hall’ at a memorial dinner for the late major. During the evening Maj. Gerald’s widow unveiled a temporary plaque which dedicated the hall to her husband’s memory and his mother, Mrs. Robert W. Gerald, spoke briefly, thanking St. Anne parishioners.” Maj. Gen. Lunsford E.

The museum has bought the building and is planning to renovate it for exhibition space. • It’s one thing to have to care for your own children, but it’s yet another to spend 32 years caring for someone else’s. Many people would take that approach to child rearing, but Dr. William F. “Ted” Young doesn’t mind at all. His love for children led him to a career in pediatric medicine which he has held dearly since 1959… “I had some pediatric role models in my training that I respected highly,” he said. The pediatrician has worked through the years to see that health care is extended to everyone, regardless of their economic status, and he said he hopes to continue the tradition. • After more than eight years on Death Row, mass murderer Donald H. “Pee Wee” Gaskins is weeks away from the electric chair. The state Supreme Court has set Sept. 6 as the execution date. The Department of Corrections got the court order to tell Gaskins about the execution, according to spokeswoman Robin Zimmerman. • The state Department of Education selected Sumter High School as one of 12 South Carolina public schools to participate in an experimental, yearlong program to help revise classroom curriculum and the assessment of student performance. The 12 schools will be released from all state-man-

dated testing programs, except the Exit Examination, for one year to create a new way of evaluating student performance and restructuring the language arts, mathematics, and science curriculums. • Since 1980 Sumter has been on the move, and 1990 census figures show that it’s definitely part of the big league. Because of the 1990 figures, Sumter was declared an urbanized area by the U.S. Census Bureau. To become an urbanized area, the city and its surrounding territory must have at least 50,000 people. The surrounding area consists of places outside the city having a population of at least 1,000 people per square mile. The Sumter urbanized area has 57,632 people. The population of the city of Sumter is 41,943. • Organized in 1868 under a bush arbor with the Biblical name of Shiloh, this energetic group of dedicated Christians has come a long way. The bush arbor was located on South Main Street in Sumter. A few years later a frame building was erected at another location. Then, in 1910, the congregation entered a new brick sanctuary in the present location (corner of Washington and Dingle Streets). The bell tower, vestibule and front steps were added at a later time. On Sept. 13, 1931, the name of this church was changed from Shiloh to First Baptist. • There are no fast food chains or any other restaurants for that matter in this town. The town has no movie theaters, no grocery stores or department stores either. But this isn’t a problem for the people who live in the small rural town of Mayesville. According to the 1990 census, Mayesville has 692 residents. Mayesville was named by Matthew Peterson Mayes II. It is a farming community that grew when railroad was

king in the United States but has since settled into a small country environment. • There’s a glint in Jim Darby’s eyes as he stands in front of a map showing highway connections between Charleston and Detroit. “Clarendon County is in the middle of what state developers call the Golden Triangle,” he says. As director of the Santee-Lynches Regional Council of Governments, Darby is a key figure in helping the county’s government come up with grants and loans to fund development of lake properties. • Lee and Darlington law enforcement officials located and destroyed 425 marijuana plants valued at more than $800,000. No arrests were made. The plants, ranging in size from 5 to 7 feet, were found in the Ashland area of Lee County near the Darlington County line. Officials estimate the street value of marijuana at $2,000 a plant, making the total value of Monday’s seizure $850,000. • There are three things you can count on when the Puddin’ Swamp Singers are in town: the auditorium will be filled to capacity, the parking lot will have more than the usual number of chartered buses and mini-vans; the on-stage entertainment will be top-notch. All of these signs were evident when the troubadours from Turbeville, about 35 in number, held forth at Patriot Hall he program, labeled “Back On Broadway III,” fulfilled its promise of offering “the finest moments in American musical theater.” • The Second Annual Mayor’s Cup Golf Classic will be held at the Links at Lakewood. The event will be a Captain’s Choice tournament with two three-person teams playing each hole. Reach Sumter Item Archivist Sammy Way at waysammy@ yahoo.com or (803) 774-1294.

A home is seen under contract at a new community in Edmond, Oklahoma, on July 27. Making extra mortgage payments can help shave costs off your home loan and ensure it’s paid off faster. But the strategy may not always be the best financial move for borrowers, especially if there are fees in the mix.

Making extra mortgage payments can pay off, but should you do it? BY ALEX VEIGA AP Business Writer It’s a strategy that crosses the mind of many borrowers when they take on a home loan: Make an extra mortgage payment or two every year, and save tens of thousands of dollars in interest. The move can shave off costs for a home loan and ensure it’s paid off faster. Even one additional payment a year can translate into big savings. On a $250,000, 30-year mortgage with a fixed rate of 4 percent, making an extra payment every year would save the homeowner roughly $27,724 over the life of the loan. It would also cut the amount of time needed to pay back the loan by four years and one month. Even so, there are potential financial drawbacks to consider. Borrowers who can afford to make extra mortgage payments tie up cash that could be put toward retirement or used for emergencies. “It’s really important to look at your financial health in the broader sense,” said Suzanne Martindale, staff attorney at Consumer Union. “The most important thing is to maintain in good standing all of your debts.” Here are some tips to consider before taking steps to make extra payments on your home loan:

WEIGH YOUR PRIORITIES It may be tempting to double down on your mortgage payments, but doing so before you’ve taken care to shore up your finances

overall isn’t a good idea. Financial advisers recommend ensuring that you are saving for retirement and have set aside three to six months’ salary to cover emergencies. If you have children, you’ll also want to put saving for their college tuition ahead of making extra mortgage payments. “At today’s low mortgage rates, if you are cutting into your retirement savings to pay off a mortgage, you are likely making a mistake,” said David Mullins, an independent financial adviser in Richlands, Virginia. “You don’t want to have your nest egg tied up in a property where you can’t easily convert it to cash.”

SLASH OTHER DEBT FIRST Paying off high-interest debt such as credit cards is another priority that should be put before focusing on paying down your home loan faster. Consider paying off car loans, too. That’s because home loans are likely the least costly debt a borrower will have, especially if he or she took advantage of low mortgage interest rates. In addition, homeowners are allowed to take a deduction on their income taxes for the interest paid on their home loan.

DO IT YOURSELF You’ve decided to accelerate payments on your mortgage, so what is the best approach? There are many ways to get there, including paying a little bit

extra every month or making a lump-sum payment at the end of the year. Another approach involves paying half of your monthly mortgage bill every two weeks. Over the course of a year, you end up making 26 transfers, which works out to an additional monthly payment. Contact your lender to make sure it allows extra payments and will apply the funds toward the principal on your loan, not the interest.

WATCH OUT FOR FEES Regardless of the payment plan, steer clear of businesses that offer to handle your extra payments for a fee, Martindale said. “Consumers need to be very wary from sales pitches from third-party companies,” she said. “If they’re charging a fee for their service, it can undercut any potential benefits they might be offering.” The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has sued several companies that offer to handle borrowers’ twice-monthly mortgage payments. The agency claims the companies misled consumers about how much they could save in interest on their home loan. One company, Paymap Inc., agreed last year to pay a $5 million civil penalty and return $33.4 million in fees to consumers. Another firm in the biweekly mortgage payment collection business, LoanCare LLC, agreed to pay a $100,000 civil penalty.

Old steel mill will be world’s largest vertical farm NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Stacks of leafy greens are sprouting inside an old brewery in New Jersey. “What we do is we trick it,” said David Rosenberg, co-founder and chief executive officer of AeroFarms. “We get it thinking that, if plants could think: ‘All right, this is a good environment; it’s time to grow now.’” AeroFarms is one of several companies creating new ways to grow indoors year round to solve problems such as the drought out West, frost in the South or other unfavorable conditions affecting farmers. The company is in the process of building what an industry group says is the world’s largest commercial vertical farm at the site of an old steel mill in New Jersey’s largest city. It will contain 12 layers of growth on 3½ acres, producing 2 million pounds of food per year. Production is set to begin next month. “We want to help alleviate food deserts, which is a real problem in the United States and around the world,” Rosenberg said. “So here,

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, center at podium, addresses a gathering at AeroFarms, a vertical farming operation in Newark, New Jersey, on March 24. there are areas of Newark that are underprivileged, there is not enough economic development, aren’t enough supermarkets. We put this farm in one of those areas.” The farm will be open to community members who want to buy the

produce. It also plans to sell the food at local grocery stores. Critics say the artificial lighting in vertical farms takes up a significant amount of energy that in turn creates carbon emissions. “If we did decide we were going to grow all of our nation’s vegetable crop in the vertical farming systems, the amount of space required, by my calculation, would be tens of thousands of Empire State Buildings,” said Stan Cox, the research coordinator at The Land Institute, a nonprofit group that advocates sustainable agriculture. “Instead of using free sunlight as we’ve always done to produce food, vertical farms are using light that has to be generated by a power plant somewhere, by electricity from a power plant somewhere, which is an unnecessary use of fuel and generation of carbon emissions.” Cox said that instead of moving food production into cities, the country’s 350 million acres of farmland need to be made more sustainable.

NEW YORK (AP) — GreenPal CEO Bryan Clayton came to realize he had to scrap his company’s $90,000 website. The business aims to link homeowners with lawn care companies, but its software wasn’t equipped to easily handle requests from mobile users, and 85 percent of visitors using those devices left without a transaction. “We knew we had to completely gut the entire experience and build it from a mobile-first perspective,” Clayton said. More small business owners are recognizing that however they’ve reached customers in the past, mobile not only needs to be part of their strategy, but may also need to be the primary focus of their marketing. Research showing phones and tablets edging out other means is helping persuade them. And some are operating only with apps on mobile devices, forgoing websites. When GreenPal was launched in 2012, the site was set up for traditional computers. “It was almost a different world,” Clayton said. A year later, GreenPal realized it had to change. Now, 95 percent of customer interactions come from mobile devices. Customers get bids from lawn care providers, make appointments and can pay using GreenPal’s mobile site or app. “You don’t walk into the other room and sit down at your computer. You just do it on your smartphone,” said Clayton, whose company operates in metropolitan areas including Atlanta and Decatur, Georgia; St. Louis; Nashville, Tennessee; Charlotte; and Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida. More than half of Google searches, which number in the trillions, take place on smartphones and tablets, and more than half the visits to websites that use Google analytic services come from mobile devices. What’s known as responsive design has made it easier for companies to fashion sites that work for smartphones, tablets and traditional computers, taking pictures, text and links and reconfiguring them for the particular type of screen. As consumers rely more heavily on mobile, especially younger people whose phones are never far away, experts say that strategy needs to be the priority. “Investment in growth really should be focused on the mobile market,” said Gene Alvarez, an analyst with technology research company Gartner. Giftagram, which allows shoppers to buy and send gifts, can only be accessed through its app. People who visit the company’s website from a computer can download the app to their phone or tablet, which is the only way to browse or order. As a startup with limited resources, Giftagram decided to put its money where the growth was, said Jason Reid, CEO of the Toronto-based company. Another reason: An app makes it easy to choose a gift and have a notification sent to a recipient via email or text. “The simplicity of what we’re able to do in mobile can’t be replicated in a desktop,” Reid said.

A hunt club workday S weat was running down my face and dripping off my nose. My shirt was soaked and stuck to my back. I took my hat off and fanned my face, hoping for some relief, but it didn’t help much. It was hot! I had started back to the truck, but sat down on an old pine log to catch my breath and rest a few minutes. I could hear the brush cutter running back toward the stand. We had just walked in from the county road to clean up our access road. The timber on the neighboring property had been cut recently and the logging crew had accidentally dropped some limbs and treetops on our side, blocking the road. It was only mid morning; but the heat was building up quickly, and we had a few more chores to do before we could call it for the day. We had met at the signin board at 7 a.m. and taken a few minutes to talk and catch up with each other and to discuss the work that we needed to do today to get ready for deer season. Our highest priority was to move a couple of the club stands, and that’s where we headed first. We had kept the timber company road into this area of the club in excellent shape, but an adjoining landowner had got permission to use this road for access to their property for thinning a pine stand. They had done the work earlier in the summer when the ground was much wetter, and the road was damaged with heavy logging equipment. They had made an effort to smooth out some of the ruts, but had destroyed our turn-around spot. So, we loaded everybody onto the back of my truck, and Troy Sisson took his four-wheeler, and we headed in to the stand. It took

FISHING REPORTS Information on fishing trends provided courtesy of www. AnglersHeadquarters.com, South Carolina’s premier fishing report source. Customers of the Angler’s Headquarters online tackle store have access to daily updates and fulllength reports on its site. DHEC Fish Consumption Advisories: www.scdhec.gov/environment/water/fish Freshwater Report Santee Cooper 8/4 Bass: Slow to fair. Steve Harmon reports that fishing has slowed down but the pattern remains basically the same – although a surprising number of fish seem to have moved shallow in the last week or so. Early in the morning fish can be caught in shallow water where they will take topwater lures, and later in the day fish can be caught in middle depths on down. When conditions are calm soft plastics are working best for the deeper fish, and when it is windy spinnerbaits work better. Catfish: Fair. Captain Jim Glenn (843825-4239) reports that between the heat, storms and wind there have been some difficult fishing conditions, but when anglers can get out fish can be found both shallow and deep. Some pockets of smaller fish can also be located and there are plenty of channel catfish at various depths that will take cut bait or dip baits. Crappie: Slow to fair. Captain Steve English (843-729-4044) reports that crappie fishing has gotten a lot tougher, and it’s really taking some searching to pick up random fish here and there. Fishing minnows around brush is still the main pattern. Bream: Slow to fair. Captain Steve English reports that the bream bite continues to be down, and while decent numbers of fish can be caught locating fish big enough to eat has been a struggle. Midlands Area

quite an effort to pull the anchor pins from the ground at the feet of the tripod, but we finally got Dan them out Geddings and tipped OUTDOORS the stand over. We set the rail of the stand on the back of Troy’s quad and a few of us held up and balanced the legs while Troy slowly transported the stand down the bumpy road to a new location. That original stand location had been a good one, but the planted pines in the area had gotten so tall that visibility was affected, and would only get worse. The new location, just down the road, would overlook two firebreaks that we could keep open. Wayne Avin had brought along his grandson Ridge, who actually suggested the best spot to put the stand -- nestled in against a group of oaks and gums that would offer some shade and concealment. And by the way, Ridge had killed a 13-point buck from that stand this past year and had a vested interest in where we would put it. I had to back down the road to the other stand location where we had a short access road where I could turn around. That stand had the same problem. The planted pines were getting too tall. We knew that would happen with both of the stands, but their original locations were the best at the time. This tripod stand overlooked the “black hole,” and I hated to move it, but we had no choice. My nephew, Davey Geddings, had named this spot when he shot a big ten-point buck that had suddenly appeared

from the hardwoods on a logging road that disappeared like a hole into the shadows of the heavy timber. This relocation was not so easy, as we needed to consider shade, access, and visibility. Our options were limited, but we finally decided to move the stand back to the end of the access road to a spot that would get some shade, but where visibility would still be somewhat limited. Wayne pointed out an area that was heavily overgrown in tall weeds and briars that could be converted to a shooting lane with a little work. I knew that the area was prone to be wet, and had flooded out the newly planted pines. It was dry now, and could be manipulated without damaging any trees. Troy took his four-wheeler in and drove over the briars and weeds. Tony Connelly had brought along a heavy-duty weedeater with a brush cutter attachment, and he went to work clearing the lane. Within minutes we had a new shooting lane with a high spot at the end to place corn. After a short break we moved on to the access road with the limbs and treetops. Tony and Jim Adams took turns on the brush cutter, clearing the shooting lane. Another stand needed some tree trimming to improve visibility. Then we picked up some limbs on an access road to another stand and called it a day. Midday was approaching and it was getting too hot to be outside having fun in the outdoors. We still have one more stand to work on, but that one can wait for a cooler day. Dan Geddings is a weekly columnist for The Sumter Item. Email Dan at cdgeddings@gmail.com.

Lake Wateree 8/17 Crappie: Fair to good. Will Hinson advises that fish are holding in brush piles along the main river channel and they are biting pretty well. The best bite has been on jigs. Some fish are also being caught deep around bridges. Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Rodger Taylor (803-517-7828) reports that the best pattern is drifting along the main channel in the mid-lake area with cut white perch or shad. Some fish can also be caught early and late anchoring in the shallows, and the heat of the day is generally a slow – and uncomfortable – time to fish. Bass: Fair. Dearal Rodgers reports that fish are still being caught shallow. Early in the morning fish can be caught on topwaters, and once the sun gets up they will take worms dragged on the bottom. Fishing docks with jigs and worms has also been working. Lake Greenwood 7/26 Striper: Fair to good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that the bite has gotten a bit more sporadic but the best pattern for catching striper is to fish down-lines in the 18- to 22-feet range in the lower lake. Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that channel catfish can be caught around humps and points on dip baits. Bass: Slow to fair. Stan Gunter reports that bass fishing has gotten a lot tougher. Some fish can be caught very early on topwater lures fished around sea walls, and there are still a few fish being caught around brush. However, the best pattern for catching bass right now may be chasing schooling fish. Lake Monticello 7/26 Catfish: Very good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that even though this isn’t the best time to target big fish, the free-line-drifting bite remains very good. Drifting over very deep water with unweighted/barely weighted small pieces of cut fish or shrimp is a good way to put a bunch of fish in the boat.

Bass: Slow. Andy Wicker reports that bass fishing has gotten downright tough on Lake Monticello, and tournament sacks have been way down. A few fish can still be picked up around deeper humps and points on spoons and crankbaits, but there is no known hot pattern right now. Lake Murray 8/4 Striped bass: Good. Captain Brad Taylor (803-331-1354) reports that the best fish are being caught on down-lines fished 50-80 feet deep in the lower lake. The free-line bite has pretty much gone away and mostly smaller fish can be found in the creeks. Crappie: Good. Captain Brad reports that good numbers of crappie are still being caught over brush in 18-25 feet of water. Minnows are pretty much the only way to catch fish right now. Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that fan-casting a variety of baits – including dip baits and cut herring – in 10-25 feet of water has been effective for channel catfish. Night fishing is still much more productive than fishing during the heat of the day. Bass: Slow to fair. Bass fishing has slowed significantly, with only a sporadic early bite and then anglers struggling to catch fish off points and deeper brush. Piedmont Area Lake Thurmond 8/4 Striper and Hybrids: Very good. Captain William Sasser (864-333-2000) reports that each day his boat is catching very nice limits of striper, mostly fishing about 50 feet deep with down-lined live herring in the lower part of the lake. Some early schooling activity is just getting started in the same areas where he is catching fish deep. Bass: Fair to good. Buckeye Lures reports that some big bags have been caught in local tournaments even though it has gotten very hot. Fish can be caught around main lake humps on jigs and soft plastics, and there is also some shallow activity early and late. Crappie: Fair to good. Captain William Sasser reports that crappie can be

Fourteen counties were upgraded to “incipient,” the first level of drought: Lee, Kershaw, Lancaster, Chesterfield, Marlboro, Darlington, Florence, Dillon, Marion, Williamsburg, Georgetown, Horry, Beaufort and Jasper. Three counties were upgraded to “moderate,” the second level of drought: McCormick, Greenwood, and Edgefield. Oconee, Pickens, Anderson, and Abbeville counties remain in moderate drought, and all other counties remain in incipient status. According to South Carolina State Climatologist Dr. Hope Mizzell, there has been a shift in the rainfall pattern over the last few weeks, with the very dry Upstate finally receiving some much needed rain, while rainfall for the Pee Dee region has significantly decreased. Despite improved rainfall coverage for the Upstate, the Committee decided to maintain the drought status of those counties out of concern the rainfall relief may be short-lived. The Committee

caught 20 feet down over old timber. Lake Wylie 8/18 Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Rodger Taylor (803-517-7828) reports that despite the heat some nice catches of catfish have been taking place. The best pattern has been drifting fairly deep water along the main river channel with cut bait. The anchored bite has been pretty slow, particularly when there is no current. Bass: Slow. FLW angler Bryan New reports that fishing remains really tough, with tournament weights significantly below normal. Fishing shallow with topwaters, throwing a jig around docks and concentrating on offshore points and humps have all been fairly unproductive. The best pattern has probably been searching for schooling fish. Lake Russell 8/4 Striped Bass: Excellent. Guide Wendell Wilson (706-283-3336) reports that striper fishing is about as good as it gets on Lake Russell, with numerous big fish between 20 and 35 pound caught recently. The best pattern has been down-lining live herring in about 50 feet of water on the lower end of the lake. Crappie: Good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports strong numbers of crappie are being caught fishing minnows over brush in 20-24 feet of water. Catfish: Fair to good. Guide Jerry Kotal reports that channel catfish are scattered across the lake in mid-depths and are feeding well on cut herring. Bass: Fair. Guide Jerry Kotal (706-9880860) and Wendell Wilson report that largemouth bass are a little scarce but spotted bass can be caught off main lake points with a Spot Remover or a drop shot rig. Fish can also be caught down-lining live herring in 20-40 feet of water. Mountains Area Lake Hartwell 7/25 Striped and Hybrid Bass: Very good. Captain Bill Plumley (864-287-2120) and Guide Chip Hamilton (864-304-9011)

decided that the lack of rainfall in the Pee Dee was sufficient to warrant an upgrade to incipient for all counties in that region. Clemson Extension Agronomy Agent Trish DeHond reported, “Most of the Pee Dee region received regular afternoon showers up until about three weeks ago, when they turned the spigot off. We’ve been getting a few scattered showers, but only about a tenth of an inch at a time, which isn’t nearly enough to keep up with evaporation in this heat. Crops are suffering and farmers are forced to run their irrigation systems, if they have them.” The primary drought impacts being reported at this time are to agriculture, and for some counties those impacts are highly variable and may be significant. “While we on the drought committee recognize that the agriculture community is possibly experiencing a moderate drought, there are not enough other indicators at this time to justify an overall upgrade to moderate drought for the Southern Drought Management Area,” said committee member Marion Rizer, a Colleton County farmer.

report that striper have generally moved into the lower lake, and they can be caught from about 35 feet all the way down to 100 or more. Down-lining live herring is the predominant pattern. Hybrids can be caught at night over humps. Catfish: Good. Captain Bill Plumley reports that channel catfish are scattered out in the middle depths where they will eat dip baits, cut bait, worms and more. Flathead catfish can be caught at night on live bait while blues are in deeper timber. Bass: Slow to fair. Guide Brad Fowler reports that the shallow pattern has pretty much disappeared, and even though the fishing has gotten slower some bass can be caught on drop shots rigs as well as topwater lures around deeper points. There is also sporadic school activity right through the day. Crappie: Slow. Captain Bill Plumley reports that during the day crappie can be caught around mid-depth to deep brush, and at night they can be caught around lighted bridges. Lake Keowee 7/25 Bass: Slow. Guide Brad Fowler reports that fish remain in a pretty typical summer pattern, but unfortunately the action has slowed down. Early in the morning there is a topwater bite and fish will continue to show themselves periodically throughout the days, and fish can also be caught on drop shots and shakey head worms. Live bait is the easiest way to put summer spotted bass in the boat. Lake Jocassee 7/26 Trout: Good. Guide Sam Jones (864280-9056) reports that even with the heat some nice trout continue to be caught. Fish have gotten very deep and they are now being caught in the 70- to 110-feet range on both spoons and live bait.
