Man killed fighting flames in home; ‘The dispatcher told them to get out wife remains in critical condition BY BRADEN BUNCH bbunch@theitem.com SUMMERTON — One man is dead, and his wife is described to be in “very serious condition” after a fire in their home on JR & FA Richburg Road late Saturday night. Clarendon County Fire Chief Frances Richbourg said about 10:30 p.m. her department received multiple calls from the house reporting the fire. By the time they arrived to the rural lo-

Last member of legendary WWII artillery unit dies BY KEN BELL Special to The Item George Edward Chappell’s recent death closed the final chapter of one of the most storied military units of World War II. Chappell, 91, died Aug. 2 in the Dorn VA Medical Center in Columbia. Chappell served as a gunner with the Army’s famed 178th Field Artillery Unit. Sumter historian Sammy Way said Chappell was the last surviving member of the 178th Field Artillery Unit.

“That’s significant because it truly is the end of an era,” Way said. “He was the last survivor.” The 178th Field Artillery Unit is recognized as the first American unit to have fired rounds into Europe. Chappell, known to his friends simply as “Mr. Ed,” participated in many battles, including combat in North Africa, Sicily and Italy. Fellow soldiers regarded Chappell as the best gunner in the unit.

Police department hosts 3rd Back to School Bash BY SHAMIRA McCRAY Special to The Item The Sumter Police Department will sponsor its Third Annual Back to School Bash on Tuesday for local elementary school children. Partnering with Shaw Air Force Base and other local and state government agencies, the police department is planning for it to be a fun-filled day with food, games and live entertainment. “We want to give the kids

one more activity or excitement before they head back to school,” Lt. Don Florence said. In addition to food and games, guests can enjoy simulations from the Third Army/ U.S. Army Central, highway patrolmen and K-9 demonstrations from Shaw airmen. The Sumter Family Health Center will be providing health screenings to anyone who is interested. Other activities will include emergency vehicle displays, haircuts, Lexy the clown, Zumba exercise, live broad-

casting from Miller Communications and a water playground. “We have a lot going on,” Florence said. “The event is growing. Each year we have more and more people wanting to participate.” The bash will be held at Crosswell Park from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m., and parents and day cares are encouraged to bring their children. Florence said the police department is asking that all children be accompanied by

someone 18 or older. The police department is collecting school supplies that will be given to Sumter School District for distribution to students in need. Anyone who is interested in donating may take supplies to the Sumter area Staples, Walgreens or Dollar General stores. A bin will be located at each of the locations to place supplies. For more information, contact the Sumter Police Department’s Crime Prevention Unit at (803) 436-2721.

Morris College students move into dorms BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com For some people, Saturday was their first introduction to Morris College, to Sumter and even to South Carolina. Parents from far and wide woke up early to drive their children to West College Street in time for Morris’ freshman move-in day. Dominique Jenkins drove three hours with her parents from Washington, Ga., in order to go through orientation and move into her dorm room on time. “We left at 5 o’clock this morning,” said father Daniel Jenkins, cradling several boxes of his daughter’s shoes in his arms. Jenkins was one of approximately 458 first-year Morris students — along with their families, friends and other helpful movers — who covered the Sumter college with moving boxes this weekend. From behind a folding table set up on the gym floor of the Garrett-Boykin Human Development Center, Deborah C. Calhoun, Morris College’s director of admissions and records, gave out room assignments to crowds of incoming freshmen. “Today’s run pretty smooth

so far,” she said. “Everybody seems pretty patient.” Calhoun’s tables offered “one-stop service” for several campus offices: admissions and records, financial aid, student affairs and counseling. Twenty-five staff members provided assistance to up to 800 people in total, Calhoun estimated, some of whom waited in folding chairs to find out where they would be moving into.

do the first two years here and get used to college,” said Quentasia Dease, Downtin’s mother. Downtin, a mass media major, sees it the other way. She said she wanted to move into a dorm “to get out of the house.” Across campus at the men’s RCJ Hall, Herbert Johnson of St. George was moving into his room with help from his mother and girlfriend. “My football coach went to Morris, so I guess you can say alumni,” as the reason he picked the school. Johnson has an eventful freshman year already planned out. He’ll play basketball in the spring but first has a deployment scheduled with his National Guard unit. “We already worked out that I’ll withdraw for two months, and then take online classes,” he said. Back at the women’s dorm, Shameeka Downtin’s younger sister was planning a deployment of her own. With a few years to go before she has to pick a college, Dominique Downtin has other schools in mind than Morris. “She wants to go to Hawaii,” Dease said, “but that’s a long way for me to be visiting.”

A Rembert man died early Saturday morning after his car flipped over on T.B. Wright Road. Chandon Dennis, 21, of Spencer Road, Rembert, was killed when he was ejected from the car during the wreck, according to South Carolina Highway Patrol. Dennis was reportedly driving a 2001 Nissan east on T.B. Wright Road about 1 a.m. when the car left the roadway on the left-hand side. The driver then apparently overcorrected, crossed back over the roadway and went into a ditch on the right side where it overturned, throwing Dennis from the vehicle. He reportedly was not wearing a seat belt. He was initially transported to Kershaw County Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy is planned for today in Newberry to determine if there were any contributing factors to the wreck. Highway Patrol is also continuing to investigate. Sumter County Coroner Harvin Bullock said the cause of death will likely be blunt-force trauma.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked here for four years now.

My dad has been a firefighter for 23 years. I love the medical field. I love being able to help people. WHAT DOES A NORMAL DAY OF WORK CONSIST OF?

Daren Avins, EMS intermediate, works with Sumter County Emergency Medical Services and volunteers with the fire department. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an EMS worker for four years.

Medical calls. Around here, our most general type would probably be pain.

ON DAYS OFF, WHAT DO YOU PREFER TO DO?

Fishing and running calls with the fire department. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also a volunteer firefighter. And building Legos. I build huge Legos projects. Fishing and the fire department are my two biggest, though.

WHAT IS THE HARDEST PART OF YOUR JOB?

Probably medical calls challenge you the most because you have to think quickly. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS SURROUNDING YOUR FIELD?

HOW DID YOU BECOME INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU DO?

YOU RESPOND TO?

Coming in first thing in the morning, checking my truck in, washing my truck, running calls, studying. The majority of our day consists of running calls. WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON TYPE OF CALL

The biggest misconception is that if you call 911, you go straight to the ER (Emergency Room). Another misconception is that we sit around a lot. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. We do a lot of training and a lot of calls.

Wearing seat belts. When an emergency vehicle comes, pull to the right. Child restraints would be another one. You need to keep your child restrained (in the proper car seat or booster seat). WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY ON PERFORMING THIS JOB?

BY BRUCE SMITH Associated Press Writer CHARLESTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Six Democrats crowd Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary ballot as the party chooses a nominee to replace longtime Democratic state Sen. Robert Ford of Charleston. Ford, who served in Columbia for 20 years, resigned at the end of May. He cited high blood pressure and cardiovascular issues. At the time, he was the focus of a Senate Ethics Committee probe. The committee found probable cause to support allegations that the 64-year-old lawmaker violated state ethics laws. Among the findings, Ford was alleged to have used campaign donations for personal expenses and failed to report expenses, donations and personal loans. The committee referred the case to the state Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. Spokesman Mark Powell said the State Law Enforcement Division is still investigating. Ford was a voice in Columbia for black South Carolinians, and his successor in the strongly Democratic district is expected to become the same. Ford served on Charleston City Council from 1974 until his

election to Senate. He easily won a sixth Senate term last November. Senate District 42 includes the northern end of the Charleston peninsula and working-class neighborhoods in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West Ashley section, and then reaches north into North Charleston and Dorchester County. Sixty-three percent of district voters are black or other minorities. After his resignation, Ford endorsed Maurice Washington, the president of a financial and consulting services company. He also is a former Charleston City Council member and a former chairman of the board of trustees at South Carolina State University. Ford defeated Washington, 52, in the race for the seat nine years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is more ready and able to be senator than any other candidate,â&#x20AC;? Ford said at the time of the endorsement. Margaret Rush, a 63-year-old businesswoman, is trying to become the only black woman in the state Senate. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a former president of the South Carolina Black Chamber of Commerce. The field also includes two attorneys:

Marlon Kimpson works for the noted plaintiffsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attorney firm of Motley Rice LLC, and Emmanuel Ferguson, 28, works at the 9th Circuit Solicitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Kimpson, 44, has the deepest campaign war chest, with almost $80,000 raised â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about $11,000 of that his own money. His Democratic opponents combined have raised about $55,000. Candidate Herbert S. Fielding, 60, is a job counselor trying to follow in his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footsteps. Herbert U. Fielding held the Senate seat for 12 years before Ford was elected. The elder Fielding also served in the South Carolina House. The sixth Democrat is Bob Thompson, 68, a building contractor who ran two years ago for Charleston City Council. With the crowded field in the primary, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely anyone will gather the more than 50 percent of the vote needed to win the party nomination. That would mean a runoff on Aug. 26. The person emerging as the party nominee will be the favorite in the Oct. 1 special election. Real estate agent Billy Shuman is the only Republican running. Two Libertari-

ans, Alex Thornton and Rodney Travis, also have announced for the seat. The Libertarian candidate is being selected this weekend at a party convention.

Locals will celebrate National Health Center Week with activities National Health Center Week is today through Saturday, and two Sumter facilities are celebrating with activities for the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each August, community health centers across the country recognize the outstanding contributions of and services deGEDDINGS livered by Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health centers,â&#x20AC;? said Annie Geddings, chief executive officer for Sumter Family Health Center, in an Aug. 2 news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our theme this year is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Celebrating Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Centers: Transforming Health Care in Our Local Communities,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and that is exactly what we do. Community health centers, also known as federally qualified health centers, are non-profit, community-directed health care providers located in medically under-served rural and urban communities where health care resources are scarce. Health centers provide access to care regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.â&#x20AC;? Lavonda Johnson, program director for Sandhills Medical Foundation, agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like the community to be aware of our services,â&#x20AC;? she said regarding the week-long celebration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We provide services to people who are uninsured or who are insured but still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay. Health care costs are so high, and we help people get the health care they need.â&#x20AC;? Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, 425 N. Salem Ave., will offer free or discounted screenings from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Sumter Family Health Center will provide free childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s haircuts and adult blood pressure screenings at the Sumter Police Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back to School Bash.â&#x20AC;? The event is being held from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Tuesday at Crosswell Park located at the corner of Lafayette and Crosswell drives.

Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health will be the focus at Sandhills Medical Foundation with free blood pressure screenings, $5 cholesterol screenings and testosterone level and prostate blood screenings for $8 or $15 for both from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Amedysis Hospice Care will make presentations from 9 to 11 a.m., and the YMCA will make presentations from 9 a.m. to noon. â&#x20AC;˘ Wednesday: Free HIV rapid testing and information on Oasis Care from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Sandhills Medical Foundation â&#x20AC;˘ Thursday: Health Education including YMCA presentations from 9 a.m. to noon, free Mary Kay facials from Jeanell Williams from 9 a.m. to noon, MediHome presentations from 2 to 4 p.m. and pharmacy education from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Sandhills Medical Foundation â&#x20AC;˘ Friday: Fitness focus with YMCA doing presentations from 9 a.m. to noon with a Zumba demonstration at 10 a.m. and presentations from Curves from 9:30 a.m. to noon at Sandhills Medical Foundation

The center will also have â&#x20AC;&#x153;thank youâ&#x20AC;? treats and events at the Sumter location, 1278 N. Lafayette Drive, during the week, said Holly Chase, director of community development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our patients not only get the care they need under one roof, but they are treated as individuals with dignity and respect by a team of caring professionals focused on preventing costly illness and disease before they happen,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That means better health, fewer hospital (emergency room) visits, and consumers, taxpayers and governments save money. This is what health care should be and what we celebrate during National Health Center Week.â&#x20AC;? While the cost of care is lower, the quality of care is not. Health centers demonstrated equal or better quality performance than private practices on ambulatory quality measures despite serving patients with more chronic disease and socioeconomic challenges, a July 2012 study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the University of California-San Francisco concluded.

An early detection device that combines old-fashioned olfactory skills, chemical analysis and modern technology could lead to better survival rates for the disease, which is particularly deadly because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often not caught until an advanced stage. Using blood and tissue samples donated by patients, the University of Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Working Dog Center has started training three canines to sniff out the signature compound that indicates the presence of ovarian cancer. If the animals can isolate the chemical marker, scientists at the nearby Monell Chemical Senses Center will work to create an electronic sensor to identify the same odorant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because if the dogs can do it, then the question is, Can our analytical instrumentation do it? We think we

can,â&#x20AC;? Monell organic chemist George Preti said. More than 20,000 Americans are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year. When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caught early, women have a five-year survival rate of 90 percent. But because of its generic symptoms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; weight gain, bloating or constipation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the disease is more often caught late. About 70 percent of cases are identified after the cancer has spread, said Dr. Janos Tanyi, a Penn oncologist whose patients are participating in the study. For those women, the five-year survival rate is less than 40 percent, he said. The Philadelphia researchers will build on previous work showing that early stage ovarian cancer alters odorous compounds in the body. Another study in Britain in 2004 demonstrated that dogs could identify bladder cancer patients by smelling their urine. Dr. Leonard Lichtenfeld, deputy chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society, said while the canine concept has shown promise for several years, there

havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been any major breakthroughs yet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still looking to see whether something could be developed and be useful in routine patient care, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not there yet,â&#x20AC;? said Lichtenfeld, who is not involved in the study. Cindy Otto, director of the Working Dog Center, hopes to change that with the help of McBaine, a springer spaniel; Ohlin, a Labrador retriever; and Tsunami, a Ger-

man shepherd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can figure out what those chemicals are, what that fingerprint of ovarian cancer is thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the blood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or maybe even eventually in the urine or something like that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; then we can have that automated test that will be less expensive and very efficient at screening those samples,â&#x20AC;? Otto said. Ovarian cancer patient Marta Drexler, 57, is heartened by the effort. Drexler

describes herself as a textbook case of the disease not being detected early enough because she had no symptoms. After two surgeries and two rounds of chemotherapy, Drexler said she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate when Dr. Tanyi, her physician, asked her to donate tissue to the study. Last week, she visited the Working Dog Center to meet the animals whose work might one day lead to fewer battles like hers.

Auto industry: Young people will buy cars again TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The auto industry says people under 34 are gradually starting to buy cars again as their economic circumstances improve. After the Great Recession, sales of cars to young people dropped significantly. Fewer of them even bothered to get driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses. Some experts surmised that the group lost in-

terest in cars because of the prevalence of social media. Data presented at a big industry conference in northern Michigan on Tuesday show that young car buyers are making a slow, if uneven, return to the market. People ages 18 to 34 accounted for more than 14 percent of the U.S. new car market just five years ago, but

that plunged to 10.5 percent in 2011, according to registration data collected by the Polk auto research firm. The figure grew to 12.3 percent last year. Licensing rates led some industry analysts to conclude that young

people, who meet constantly on Facebook and other social media, have less need to travel and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in buying cars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even when they grow older. In 1984, nearly 80 percent of people ages 16-24 had driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s li-

LOCAL quiet,” he said. “He wasn’t one to brag, although there was plenty he could have bragged about.” Duffie said four decades after Chappell retired, he took him to meet up with the four surviving members of the unit. “When they got together to reminisce, it was fascinating to hear them talk about the time they served,” Duffie said. “Their memories were just as sharp as if it had happened yesterday. And these guys respected and loved each other. It was an honor to be able to do that.” Duffie said Gen. George S. Patton specifically requested for the unit to support his troops from March until May 1943.

Crummell, was transported to Clarendon Memorial Hospital and from there airlifted to Columbia for further care. The fire chief said she had been informed the wife was in very serious condition, but still alive, as of Saturday afternoon. Richbourg said the cause of the fire is still under investigation but stressed the unfortunate incident highlighted the importance of people focusing on getting to safety whenever a fire occurs. “That’s the biggest mistake that some people make,” Richbourg said. “They feel that they can fight fire, but they don’t realize how large it is and how quickly it can grow.” The chief also added, however, that it was not clear at this time what the actions of the Crummells were after reporting the fire. “They called the dispatchers themselves and their smoke detectors were going off, so their smoke detectors were working, but apparently they did not just immediately get out of the house,” Richbourg said. This was the second fatal fire in the small Clarendon community this month. On Aug. 5, husband and wife Ollie and Penny Bray died from smoke inhalation from a fire at their home on Willie Richburg Road.

to move beyond just relying on federal money and build a local sustainable funding source. “At some point, the 21st Century funds will dry up,” Gadson said. “As a community, we have to decide whether we want to continue to support this program. I’d like to create a coalition to strategize how to set up a strategic framework to move the program forward, to look at strengths and weaknesses and have an opportunity to improve.” To kick this off, he is hosting an information session at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the M. H. Newton Life Enrichment Center, 415 Manning Ave., Sumter. “It really has to be a

community effort and something we want to invest in,” Gadson said. “I believe this, God gave us this vision, and he doesn’t give vision without provision. God placed us here to do this, to be obedient, and I’m crazy enough to believe that we can do it and let Him worry about the particulars. I started in 2000 with six kids. We’ve had up to 500. But if we only have one here, we’ll try to help that one.” Gadson has invited local officials and school board trustees as well as relatives of children in the program, and Sumter

‘Those guys were deadly with the 155 millimeter. They knew how to shoot and were near-perfect with their aim. The enemy knew it was in trouble when the 178th showed up.’

Mayor Joe McElveen said he plans to attend. “The thing that impresses me about the program is they follow up on the progress of the young people,” said McElveen. “They can show how they are helping young people improve their school and other habits. I think it’s a good program, and I think it fills a real need in our community.” The program provides a hot meal, homework help and academic enrichment to about 350 elementary and middle school students. This past year, 28 percent of his students were classified as homeless by Sumter School District, he said. About 50

He said they wouldn’t need them,” Duffie said. “Those boys were out there so long, many of them about died after having to eat so many C-rations.” In September 1943, the unit traded its “Long Toms” for the then-new 155 mm howitzer. “Those guys were deadly with the 155 millimeter,” Duffie said. “They knew how to shoot and were near-perfect with their aim. The enemy knew it was in trouble when the 178th showed up.” Chappell’s nephew, Denny Chappell, said his uncle had been the hero of the family. “He was a hero in our eyes,” Denny Chappell said. “He was proud of his time in service, and we were proud of him.”

The unit received many decorations, medals and honors. It still holds the record for serving more than 600 days of continuous combat. “When you think about that, it’s mind-boggling,” Way said. “There are units that have more days of combat, but continuous days? These guys went to war and stayed on the front lines for almost two straight years. It’s hard to imagine what they must have endured.” The 178th had originally been a South Carolina National Guard Unit.

The unit is significant locally because at the time, Sumter’s then-Maj. Hugh F. Knight commanded the unit that comprised more than 100 Sumter men. Wedgefield’s retired Army Brig. Gen. John Duffie later commanded the unit stateside from 1980-85. “By the time I assumed command, the history of the 178th was already well known,” he said. “I was a lieutenant colonel at the time. That was the highlight of my career to lead the Swampfox Squadron.” Duffie said Chappell didn’t openly volunteer information about his time in service but would open up when someone asked him about it. “Mr. Ed was generally

Eyebrow waxing and cafĂŠ lattes at the drugstore? BY TOM MURPHY AP Business Writer At some Walgreen stores, there are health clinics staffed by nurse practitioners, cafĂŠs that sell baristaprepared coffee and Eyebrow Bars where trained professionals groom unruly facial hair. Oh, and pharmacists fill prescriptions, too. The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major drugstore chains are moving beyond simply doling out drugs and Kleenex. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re opening more in-store clinics and offering more health care products in part to serve an aging population that will need more care. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a response to the massive U.S. health care overhaul, which is expected to add about 25 million newly insured people who will need medical care and prescriptions. And drugstores are offering more services as a way to boost revenue in the face of competition from retailers such as Safeway and Walmart that have added in-store pharmacies. Beth Stiller, a divisional vice president at Walgreen, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest drugstore chain, said the changes are necessary because timepressed customers have come to expect that they will be able to do more than just fill a prescription at drugstores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live in a world where personalization and ... hightouch service is much more expected,â&#x20AC;? said Helena Foulkes, chief health care strategy and marketing officer for CVS Caremark Corp., the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 2 drugstore chain.

Frozen-yogurt machines await customers at the Walgreens flagship store in the Empire State Building in New York. The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major drugstore chains are opening more in-store clinics in response to the massive U.S. health care overhaul, which is expected to add about 25 million newly insured people who will need medical care and prescriptions.

has been gradual. Up until about five years ago, the major drugstore chains focused on adding stores, not services. Then when states started allowing pharmacists to provide flu shots, it paved the way for drugstores to begin offering other immunizations for diseases such as pneumonia and shingles. And after Congress passed the health care overhaul in 2010, drugstores started adding more in-store clinics to help serve the newly insured population that will be created by that law. At the same time, grocers and other big retailers have started beefing up their health care offerings to com-

pete with pharmacies for customers. For instance, Safeway Inc., which runs more than 1,600 stores under the Safeway and Vons names, is adding private rooms in some stores to make its pharmacists more accessible. It also is adding products that focus on a customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and well-being, such as health food or goods for a specific diet, such as gluten-free products. Steven A. Burd, the grocerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently retired chairman and CEO, told investors earlier this year that he thinks â&#x20AC;&#x153;Safeway can own the wellness space.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It became a marketplace

where everybody was doing a little bit of everybody elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stuff,â&#x20AC;? said Jack Horst, a partner with the management consulting firm Kurt Salmon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many other options for people these days in terms of finding an outlet for filling a prescription.â&#x20AC;? So drugstores are expanding their offerings to stay competitive. Rite Aid Corp., the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 3 chain, has converted more than 900 of its 4,615 locations to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wellnessâ&#x20AC;? format it introduced in 2011. The stores offer organic soups, pastas and juices and a line of home fitness equipment such as yoga mats and dumbbells that

Rite Aid helped design. They also feature employees equipped with iPads to find and print coupons for customers, look up information on vitamins or enroll them in services such as automated pharmacy refills. Additionally, Rite Aid started a program in March that allows customers at about 70 of its stores to connect remotely with doctors for a video or phone consultation covering a range of ailments from allergies to the flu. The 10-minute virtual consultations with physicians, who are contracted by Rite Aid, cost $45. That compares with the more than $100 someone without insurance could pay for a doctor visit. Rite Aid competitor, CVS Caremark, runs more than 650 MinuteClinics that are staffed by nurse practitioners or physician assistants and handle largely minor illnesses like pink eye. CVS also offers acne consultations and monitoring of chronic conditions such as diabetes. The company aims to operate about 1,500 MinuteClinics by 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really see ourselves as a pharmacy health care company,â&#x20AC;? said Foulkes, the CVS executive. The chain, which has more than 7,500 stores, also has introduced an urban store format stocked specifically for the needs of nearby customers at about 450 locations. That means providing more space for diapers and household products in areas where there are fewer grocery stores. These stores also peddle â&#x20AC;&#x153;grab-and-goâ&#x20AC;? meals for customers who treat their locations more like a general store.

Burns, Baten sully selves with race-baiting rants

he latest version of the Ferdinand Burns-Eugene Baten race card show opened recently to overwhelmingly negative reviews. If it was a Broadway show, it would have bombed after the first performance. Nevertheless, we do appreciate the B&B duo for stimulating a robust outpouring of letters to the editor from a host of critics of the aforementioned race baiters. If their comments in a joint letter of Aug. 6 were intended to trigger a spirited response, they succeeded admirably. Too bad the responses were the

Sumter version of a Bronx cheer. As for the dynamic duo’s attempted rebuttal to a critical letter from Mrs. F.D. Schmidt, they began by modestly comparing themselves to Dr. Martin Luther King. Then the rejoinder got nasty: The B’s wrote, and we quote, “It was your ancestors who enslaved my (our) ancestors and passed the hatred down to you to implement. We will stand our grounds to make sure that you, your children, grandchildren or great-grand-

children are not able to enslave us mentally or physically. We shall not be moved.” (emphasis added). Nice use of racial rhetoric. Al Sharpton couldn’t have illustrated his demagoguery any better. The message was: Those of you reading this, particularly those with white skins, regardless of whether your ancestors owned slaves or not, you’re guilty of racial hatred because you have been tasked by your forebears to “implement” this hatred.

Those words should certainly bring this community together, once the allegedly hate-filled descendants of the enslavers fingered in the letter are weeded out. We’re sure Baten and Burns will continue along this statesmanlike and responsible path. Maybe that is what Baten meant when he complained recently about the “lack of a conversation on race” within the community. Only what we have so far from him and his fellow conversationalist Burns is a monologue spewing divisive garbage. One

would think an elected public official such as Baten would accept criticism, constructive or not, from letter writers such as Mrs. Schmidt as part of his job rather than an opportunity to play not only the race card but the entire deck. Too bad he’s a one-trick pony with a thin skin who can dish out criticism of others but becomes apoplectic when the shoe’s on his foot. As for a comparison of the BatenBurns team with other noted duos, they sure aren’t Batman and Robin. More like Beavis and ButtHead.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Obamacare is mauling health insurance Hey, all you working people out there trying to better yourself. If you don’t know it yet, you are in for another surprise. Remember that health insurance coverage you were promised would “stay the same?” Well, it ain’t necessarily so. If you have been insuring yourself with your employer and your children through a private policy, such as that great Blue Cross policy for dependent children many of you have your kids on, you can’t do that anymore now that Obamacare has kicked in. Companies in South Carolina can no longer insure any child under 19 unless the parent is insured on the same policy.

mind. Mothers know of what she spoke. So do fathers, though perhaps in a less immediately physical way. It is the joy that passeth all understanding. And, as with love, you can’t explain it to those who haven’t experienced it. That’s the unspoken truth. Here’s another: Whatever else we choose to do, creation is what we were meant to do. Sometimes creation takes other forms than parenthood. Would we have a Sistine Chapel if Michelangelo had been distracted by a half-dozen hungry mouths? On the other hand, would we have had Michelangelo if abortion had been available to his mother? Knowledge of my niece’s joy (there is no other word) is the secret code of all parents, including adoptive. Mysteriously, the inevitable pain, suffering and sacrifice of parenthood are also part of that joy. What is a rose without thorns? Life without death is imponderably meaningless. I would argue that without death, there would be no love. Indeed, what makes parenthood so relentlessly amazing — both the beauty and the beast of it — is the possibility of losing the thing you love more than your own heartbeat. Putting someone else’s interests above one’s own is the alpha and omega of parenthood. Every person will find his or her own way in this conversation. Parenting surely isn’t for everyone and those who choose to be childfree probably have made the right decision. Then again, it’s hard to know for certain that one doesn’t want children. Many don’t, until they do.

| Also, you single parents whose children now barely qualify for Medicaid: Don’t try to improve yourself, because when you do, you are likely to go above what is allowed for Medicaid and will be required to put your child on your policy, which (when you check the rates) may very well eat up more than your raise was. Just got off the phone with a local insurance company that verified this information. So just be ready, folks. I am sure there are many more surprises just around the corner for you working people. Not exactly what we were promised, is it? And this is just the beginning. LINDA HAWKINS Sumter

Anti-smoking battle moves outdoors; bans increase BY MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer ATLANTA — First it was bars, restaurants and office buildings. Now the front lines of the “No Smoking” battle have moved outdoors. City parks, public beaches, college campuses and other outdoor venues across the country are putting up signs telling smokers they can’t light up. Outdoor smoking bans have nearly doubled in the last five years, with the tally now at nearly 2,600, and more are in the works. But some experts question the main rationale for the bans, saying there’s not good medical evidence that cigarette smoke outdoors can harm the health of

children and other passers-by. Whether it is a longterm health issue for a lot of people “is still up in the air,” said Neil Klepeis, a Stanford University researcher whose work is cited by advocates of outdoor bans. Ronald Bayer, a Columbia University professor, put it in even starker terms. “The evidence of a risk to people in open-

air settings is flimsy,” he said. There are hundreds of studies linking indoor secondhand smoke to health problems like heart disease. That research has bolstered city laws and workplace rules that now impose smoking bans in nearly half of the nation’s bars, restaurants and workplaces. In contrast, there’s been little study of the

potential dangers of whiffing secondhand smoke while in the open air. But that hasn’t stopped outdoor bans from taking off in the last five years. The rules can apply to playgrounds, zoos, beaches and ball fields, as well as outdoor dining patios, bus stops and building doorways. “Secondhand smoke is harmful. It’s particularly harmful to chil-

dren,” said Councilwoman Mary Cheh of the District of Columbia, one of more than 90 U.S. municipalities or counties considering an outdoor smoking law. But is it really dangerous outdoors? Federal health offi-

cials say yes. Studies have clearly established that even a brief exposure indoors to cigarette smoke can cause blood to become sticky and more prone to clotting. How long that lasts after just one dose isn’t clear, officials say.

Watkins anticipates big year BY MANDRALLIUS ROBINSON Greenville News

South Carolina wide receiver Shaq Roland (4) makes his first reception as a Gamecock during last year’s game against East Carolina. Roland, USC’s fourth straight Mr. Football, hopes to have more of an impact in the offense this year.

Roland working harder to make impact for USC BY ANDREW MILLER Post and Courier Shaq Roland arrived at South Carolina with an impressive resume and even bigger expectations. Coming out of Lexington High School, Roland was the fourth straight South Carolina Mr. Football — joining cornerback Stephon Gilmore, running back Marcus Lattimore and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney — to sign with the Gamecocks since 2009. Roland was the nation’s 66th-ranked prospect in the country and the 10th best wide receiver, according to Rivals.com.

Roland was expected to have the kind of impact on the Gamecocks’ passing game that Gilmore, Lattimore and Clowney had at their respective positions. Combine that with the departure of All-American wide receiver Alshon Jeffery to the NFL a year early, and Roland was already being penciled in on many of the preseason SEC All-Freshmen teams. But like a lot of blue chip recruits, Roland struggled with the transition from high school to college. “There were times when Shaq was SEE ROLAND, PAGE B4

CLEMSON — This offseason, Clemson junior receivers Sammy Watkins and Martavis Bryant have spent several hours discussing their goals. “The whole summer actually, we were BRYANT hanging out a little bit and talking about it,” Bryant said. “We’d go out to the lake and just chill and just talk.” They discussed specific objectives for this season but rarely mentioned statistics. Their plan is to ensure that aggressive corners and double coverage are their only obstacles. Both Bryant and Watkins watched their teammates defeat LSU in the Chick-fil-A Bowl without them. Watkins watched from the sideline after

Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins expects a big year from both himself and his team this season after missing several games last year due to a suspension and injuries.

he was injured on the first play from scrimmage. Bryant watched from home. He was suspended for the bowl after failing to meet the team’s academic standards. When that subject surfaced this summer, Watkins transformed from cohort to counselor, and those lakefront chats became motivational lectures. “I just told him, ‘Man, you’ve got to be different. Everybody’s watching us, and we’re

going to need you big time,’ ” Watkins said. “ ‘You’ve got to go to class. You’ve got to be respectful, and everything else will play out on the field.’ ” That could be a difficult challenge to accept from a peer, but Bryant understood that Watkins never spoke in judgment. He spoke from experience. Watkins endured his own adversity last year. SEE WATKINS, PAGE B4

Klapthor getting his chance at tight end with Paladins EDITOR’S NOTE: Barbara Boxleitner is a former Item assistant sports editor and college teacher. She is a Florida-based journalist and photographer who has been published in 41 newspapers, magazines and journals throughout North America. Each week she’ll provide updates on area athletes participating in college and professional sports at all levels.

ibson Klapthor has caught on as a tight end. The former Wilson Hall School quarterback will be the No. 2 tight end for Furman University this season, tight ends coach Duane Vaughn said. “We definitely play two tight ends in the scheme a third of the time,” Vaughn said. “He’ll have some oppor-

tunities in the passing game, to exploit some mismatches.” Klapthor was a redshirt last year. He was converted to tight end, something Vaughn KLAPTHOR said the coaches have done before. Quarterbacks typically develop into quali-

ty tight ends because they are used to handling the ball and have sure hands, he said. Klapthor has shown this to be true. “The pass catching has come a lot more natural to him,” Vaughn said. Klapthor said he expects to be targeted for shorter receptions, such as 7-yard outs or seam SEE KLAPTHOR, PAGE B2

Carson making waves in talented USC backfield BY CHARLES BENNETT Post and Courier COLUMBIA — What was once thought to be a 2-man race between sophomores Mike Davis and Brandon Wilds for the starting tailback position at South Carolina may have expanded by at least one. Sophomore and former Lake City High School standout Shon Carson has been getting steady work with the first-team unit, and while he only carried four times for 25 yards in the CARSON Gamecocks’ first scrimmage Saturday, one of those went for a 15-yard touchdown and he drew praise from coach Steve Spurrier. “He could play 25 plays if we need him to,” Spurrier said when asked if he considered the 5-8, 210pound Carson more of a situational player. “He’s a good little screen runner too. He’s quick. He’s nifty. There’s a place for Carson.” Spurrier actually had praise for all the tailbacks. Wilds carried five times for 34 yards, Davis ran

four times for 27 yards, freshman David Williams had three carries for 25 yards and freshman Jamari Smith added one carry for six yards and also caught a 13-yard pass. “The tailbacks ran hard,” Spurrier said. “All five did well. We’ve got five good running backs. You can’t play them all, but they are doing well. You remember two years ago, Wilds was fifth team at the start of the season and became the starter.” The play of the running backs was one of the highlights on a day Spurrier said basically belonged to the offense. In addition to Carson’s 15-yard touchdown run, the scoring included a 55-yard touchdown pass from Perry Orth to Shaq Roland, a 1-yard touchdown run by quarterback Dylan Thompson and a 36-yard field goal by Nick St. Germain. Those missing the scrimmage included defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (bruised shoulder), defensive end Gerald Turner (ankle sprain), defensive end Chaz Sutton (foot sprain), kicker Landon Ard (groin), quarterback Connor Mitch (illness) and safety Kyle Fleetwood (hamstring).

Tiger offense shines; O-line still up in air BY AARON BRENNER Post and Courier CLEMSON — Any time the Tigers engage in an intrasquad scrimmage, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney is certain he’ll watch the tape with mixed feelings. For every long run or pass, there are missed assignments and tackles to address. For SWINNEY every turnover or third-down stuff, there are broken plays to scorn. For every yin, there is a yang. It’s why Swinney’s not shy in wishing the NCAA adopted the NFL preseason structure: low-key exhibitions against opposing squads to properly evaluate his players and units. “You wish you could go scrimmage somebody else, and you might walk away with a little different feel,” Swinney said. “But when you’re the head coach, and they’re all yours, you’re never re-

ally totally happy.” Clemson quarterbacks threw for six touchdowns in just over 100 snaps Saturday, and the Tigers’ talented offense had it even easier than desired. The Tigers started the day with just five healthy cornerbacks and finished with four, when Adrian Baker appeared to sprain his MCL after just one healthy series. Darius Robinson (concussion), Garry Peters (ankle), Martin Jenkins (hip) and Mackensie Alexander (groin) couldn’t go Saturday. Quandon Christian, the former Lake View High School standout, was the sharpest thorn in the side of Clemson’s offense. He recovered two fumbles, and read quarterback Tajh Boyd’s eyes on a slant route to Sammy Watkins, picking off the throw and returning it 47 yards for a near score. “He’s been pretty good through fall camp, he’s been a good leader, he’s been consistent,” Venables said.

My wife and I have 17 years apiece in South Carolina and the things we thought that would transfer over and be readily available upon our arrival were not. Some of the contractual things weren’t available and some of that is probably our fault for not asking.”

While freshman runners Tyshon Dye and Wayne Gallman have garnered praise from Clemson coaches, sophomore Zac Brooks perhaps leveled the competition for carries by going 44 yards on his first attempt Saturday, finishing with a team-high 79 yards on seven rushes. Clemson continues to tinker with offensive line combinations, which is allowing backups like Isaiah Battle, Kalon Davis, Jay Guillermo, Eric Mac Lain and Reid Webster some considerable reps. The starting five might not be determined by the end of next week’s scrimmage, just 14 days before the Georgia opener. “There might be one or two spots that go a little further than that,” Swinney said. “Certainly by the time we come out of next weekend, we’ll have a pretty good idea of who’s going to start this first game. Then they’ve got to perform and keep their job.”

“He’s gotten stronger. He set PRs (personal records) in lifts.” Vaughn has high expectations of Klapthor. “He’s very comfortable,” the coach said. “He’s definitely on the road to being a really good player for us.” Send updates about area athletes to Barbara Boxleitner at BKLE3@aol. com.

Before interviewing and accepting the the job at Seminole, Earley had accepted a coaching position as defensive coordinator at Blackville-Hilda this summer. Earley spent one season at Chapin and eight years at Myrtle Beach before his tenure at Lexington. He’s complied a 103-45 career record that includes winning the 2008 3A state championship in his final

season at Myrtle Beach. In mid April, the South Carolina High School League website had two job openings listed for varsity football at Lakewood High -- a quarterbacks coach and a wide receivers coach. Parks said he ended up taking on the duties of quarterback coach and Kendrick Pelfry was hired to coach receivers. Just a month later, the school had coaching openings for a head track coach, assistant track coach and varsity football assistant coach.

FURYK from Page B1 On a warm, sunny day when Oak Hill finally showed its bite, Furyk bounced back from a sluggish start to seize the top spot on the leaderboard. giving him another shot at adding to his lone major title in the 2003 U.S. Open. Beginning the day two strokes behind Duffner, Furyk lost even more ground with bogeys at the second and third holes. A birdie at the par-5 fourth turned things around, and he had only one stumble the rest of the way, a bogey on No. 15. Furyk more than made up for that miscue with his finish. Two brilliant shots set him for a birdie at the 17th, the toughest hole on the course. Then, after an errant drive on 18, he managed to punch one out in the fairway, knocked a wedge to the fringe of the green and sank a tricky putt he managed to keep on line through the higher grass on the fringe. Dufner made his biggest mistake of the week so far when he dunked his ball in the creek on No. 5, leading to a double bogey. But he caught a break on 18 when his short putt spun all the way around the back of

Jason Dufner hits a chip shot on the second hole during the third round of the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club on Saturday in Pittsford, N.Y. Dufner shot 1-over par to remain in contention at 8-under -- one shot behind the leader.

the cup and fell in for par, leaving him right in Furykâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rearview mirror. Stenson had his third straight round in the 60s to set up a shot at giving Sweden its first male major champion. If he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it, maybe it will be Blixt, whose 66 sent him flying up the standings on a day when a number of players headed the wrong way. Matt Kuchar struggled to a 76 and found himself a daunting eight shots behind. Robert Garrigus fell back with a 74. U.S. Open champ Justin Rose saw his chances of a second major title slip away with an ugly 77. Masters winner Adam Scott also dealt with

some wayward shots, but he shook off a double bogey at the 16th to get home with a 72, leaving him tied at 5-under 205 with ageless Steve Stricker (70). Dufner was coming off a 63 Friday that tied the major championship scoring record. In fact, 27 players were under par after 36 holes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on a course that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up many red numbers. Oak Hill looked more like itself Saturday. With so many players faltering, defending PGA champion Rory McIlroy charged into contention. The 24-year-old birdied the last two holes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; quite a feat, indeed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for a 67 that pushed his score to

3-under 207. He chipped in at the 18th, pumping his fist as he went to retrieve his ball. Over his last 25 holes going back to Friday, when it looked for a while as if he might miss the cut, McIlroy is 7 under with only one bogey. After a season-long slump that included missing the cut at the British Open, he suddenly looks more like the player who romped to a record eight-stroke victory at Kiawah Island last year, earning his second major championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting there,â&#x20AC;? McIlroy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was good to feel that sort of rush again.â&#x20AC;?

Another day, another rough round for Tiger BY RACHEL COHEN The Associated Press PITTSFORD, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tiger Woods walked off the 18th hole and past Jason Dufner and Adam Scott, who stood on the putting green still waiting to tee off as the last group of the PGA Championshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third round. Woods is usually the one starting his day well into the afternoon on the weekend at a major. But he keeps heading the wrong direction from the leaders at Oak Hill. The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 golfer shot a 3-over 73 on Saturday, leaving him at 4 over for the tournament. Woods scuffled from his very first swing. He missed the fairway on No. 1, teeing off just after 11 a.m., almost four hours before Dufner and Scott. He bogeyed that hole and had another at the third. Even when he straightened out his tee shots for a bit, Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; putting failed him. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a birdie until this 11th hole, and that would be his only one of the day. His swing went awry again late in the round,

Tiger Woods hits out of a bunker on the 17th hole during the third round of the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in Pittsford, N.Y. Woods is at 4-over for the tournament after Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-over round.

dooming him to bogeys on Nos. 16 and 17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start off very good, and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish very good,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the middle part,â&#x20AC;? he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was grinding just to kind of hang in there around par.â&#x20AC;? So the 14-time major champ must wait until April to resume his now more than 5-year-old pursuit of No. 15. Not that Woods would ever concede the chase is getting to him. Asked if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pressing, he deadpanned, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, at times when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m underneath the trees and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in bunkers and try-

ing to get up-anddown.â&#x20AC;? He had plenty of experience with both of those predicaments Saturday. Woods hit 5 of 14 fairways and needed 32 putts. After Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s round, he squeezed in some time on the practice range with coach Sean Foley. Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t got my takeaway right; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Consequently the whole patterning is off. Just one of those weeks where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a fraction off, and a fraction off on a

setup like this, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to cost me.â&#x20AC;? Especially when his putting wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rescuing him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I do it right, I hit some sweet shots. And when I do it wrong, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m struggling,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On top of that, today for some reason I kept blocking every putt. I burned a few edges out there.â&#x20AC;? On the par-4 seventh, Woods hit his second shot to within about 10 feet, but his birdie try lipped out, and he could only look away in disgust. He briefly appeared to be building some momentum after that birdie on No. 11, but his birdie putt on the 12th from about 5 feet slid by the right side of the hole. Other than sharing a few laughs with playing partner Keegan Bradley as they walked the course, Woods was rarely demonstrative Saturday, after shots good or bad. Despite tying for 39th the last time the PGA was at Oak Hill a decade ago, Woods calls the course â&#x20AC;&#x153;fantastic.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately I just havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put it together at the right time,â&#x20AC;? he said. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done that at a major in more than five years.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back? McIlroy shoots 67 to pull within 6 of lead BY RACHEL COHEN The Associated Press PITTSFORD, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rory McIlroyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chip for birdie on No. 18 dropped into the hole, and he dropped to a crouch with a fierce fist pump. Confident, intense, he looked like the defending champion at a major, the guy who won the PGA Championship by a record eight strokes last year. Ever since McIlroy found himself in danger of missing the cut midway through his round Friday, that player may have finally returned. McIlroy shot a 3-under 67 in tougher conditions Saturday to lift M ILROY himself to the edge of contention. He was tied for seventh, six strokes behind leader Jim Furyk, heading into the final round. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was good to feel the sort of rush again,â&#x20AC;? he said. If he can feel it again Sunday, perhaps this will be the week that snaps him out of a seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of doldrums. Through 11 holes of his second round, McIlroy was 4 over for the tournament. The cut wound up at 3 over. Since then, he has played 25 holes in 7 under. McIlroy was at 1 under for the tournament when he stepped up to the 17th tee Saturday. The final two holes have been the toughest to birdie at Oak Hill this week, but he did it at both, sinking a long putt on No. 17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I probably made up at least 3, 3Â˝ shots on those last two holes,â&#x20AC;? McIlroy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making a birdie on 17 is like an eagle,â&#x20AC;? he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and then to follow it up with another on the last is even better.â&#x20AC;? C

WATKINS from Page B1

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Chicago’s Matt Blanchard (4) is tackled by Carolina’s Louis Nzegwu (50) during the second half of Friday’s preseason game in Charlotte. The Panthers won 24-17.

Bears defense looks strong without Urlacher, Smith BY STEVE REED The Associated Press

Chicago’s only offensive touchdown of the game. 3. JOSH NORMAN WANTS A JOB:

CHARLOTTE — Brian Urlacher and Lovie Smith are gone. That doesn’t mean the Bears larcenous nature on defense went with them. The Bears had four turnovers and linebacker Jonathan Bostic returned a Cam Newton interception 51 yards for a touchdown in their first game under new coach Marc Trestman. Sure, the Bears lost the game 24-17, but their defense showed they will probably be just fine without Smith and Urlacher. Here are five things we learned from the game: 1. CAM NEWTON STILL MAKES BAD DECISIONS:

Newton was kicking himself after throwing an interception in the first quarter, calling it “disgusting.” Newton tried the force the ball into double coverage and it made for an easy pick for Bostic, who raced into the end zone. “He tried to force it,” coach Ron Rivera said. If the Panthers are to take the next step and reach the playoffs, Newton can’t make decisions that cost his team the game. Carolina had the lead and momentum at the time, and Newton needs to realize that one poor decision can turn the game around. He’ll be kicking himself about that one all week until he gets on the field again. 2. BEARS MIGHT HAVE FOUND SOMETHING:

The Chicago Bears have liked what they’ve seen from the rookie Marquess Wilson so far in training camp and he didn’t disappoint on Friday night. The 6-foot-4, 184-pound rookie from Washington State had five catches for 82 yards in his NFL debut, including a 58-yard reception to set up

Norman started last season as a rookie for the Panthers at cornerback, but found himself on the bench midway through the season after some blown coverages. Norman started this year strong with two interceptions against the Bears, including one he took back 60 yards for a touchdown. Rivera said he wants Norman to be more physical at the line of scrimmage, which has been a weakness for him. Right now Norman is starting in Carolina’s nickel defense. “He’s a ball hog and he’s got the ability to make plays,” Rivera said. “We saw that last year and I really do believe he’s having a solid (training) camp.” Norman said the game has slowed down for him this year. 4. BEARS MUST PROTECT THE QUARTERBACK BETTER:

The Bears are still trying to figure out some things on the offensive line and Friday night’s game proved they have decisions to make, particularly with their backups. Chicago allowed seven sacks. The good news for the Bears is five of those came in the second half when either the second- or third-team line was on the field. “We did some good things out there but obviously not enough,” offensive lineman Robert Garza said. 5. KENJON BARNER IS EXPLOSIVE BUT HAS A LOT TO LEARN:

Panthers rookie running back Kenjon Barner scored on a 5-yard run but also had a hand in two turnovers. He fumbled once carrying the ball loosely away from his body and also reached out to grab a handoff from Jimmy Clausen instead of letting the ball get tucked into his stomach resulting in a failed exchange and fumble.

ROLAND from Page B1 lost out there last year,” said USC receiver coach Steve Spurrier Jr. “There were times when he didn’t know where he needed to be. He didn’t have a real good grasp of the offense.” Translation: Roland didn’t know the playbook like he should have as a freshman. Truth be told, Roland thought his athletic ability would be enough to excel in the SEC. Was it arrogance or ignorance? Roland said it was probably a combination of both. Although he played in 11 games, he caught just five passes for 80 yards and one touchdown. Roland realized after the season was over that the only person to blame for his lack of production was himself. “The reason I didn’t play more last year was all on me,” Roland said. “It wasn’t the coaching staff or anything like that. It was my fault. I didn’t know the plays like I should have. I wasn’t focused like I should have been, and I didn’t do what I needed to do to get on the field.” It was the first time in Roland’s life that he had been humbled on the football field. “Last year I came in here thinking that I’d dominate college like I had in high school. Like it was going to just happen for me in college like it did in high school,” Roland said. Almost from the first practice, Roland realized that wasn’t going to be the case. “I learned that everyone out here is just as good as I am,” Roland said. “You have to focus on the little things if you’re going to get on the field.”

Roland rededicated himself during the offseason. He spent hours scouring the playbook, learning not only his position, but all the wide receiver positions. He got stronger, putting on 15 pounds of muscle to help against the physical cornerbacks in the SEC. He also changed his approach to the practice, treating it more like an occupation. “It wasn’t just that I didn’t know the plays,” Roland said. “It was my attitude. I didn’t treat it like a job. I didn’t come out here every day looking to make myself better. That’s the difference from last year.” Roland’s attention to detail and his newfound work ethic have not gone unnoticed. “Shaq has gotten a little bit better,” Spurrier Jr. said. “I think any player from one year to the next year is going to be more mature. He’s a little more comfortable, a little more intelligent and he’s moving around out there like he knows what he’s doing. I’m kind of fired up to watch him as we move forward.” Even wide receiver Bruce Ellington has seen a difference in Roland. “He’s out to send a message to everyone,” Ellington said. “Shaq has all the ability in the world, and I think people are going to see that this season.” The time for talk is over, Roland said. “I’m at a point where I’m comfortable with the playbook and I know what I’m supposed to do on every play,” Roland said. “Now, I’ve got to go out and get it done on the field. I feel like I’ve got to prove myself all over again this year.”

An arrest for misdemeanor possession in May yielded a two-game suspension in September. He missed another game because of illness. Watkins admitted he mismanaged the adversity and his play and attitude suffered. “It just made me step up and mature,” Watkins said. “I just realized that I’m going to make mistakes and I’m also going to face some adversity. It just made me realize I’ve got to step up and be a leader, because I am being watched by everybody.” Watkins’ talent does not require him to be a role model. Yet he asserted that rejecting the chance to use his hardships to influence and benefit others would be selfish. “It made him realize he’s got a wonderful opportunity,” said Clemson coach Dabo Swinney. “It’s a privilege to do what he does. It’s not a right. “He’s really grown vocally. He’s not afraid to stand up and speak.” Watkins revealed his effusive courage earlier this summer. “Y’all heard him. He came out with his preseason comments,” Swinney said, alluding to an interview with The

Greenville News in June during which Watkins asserted Clemson should “beat the mess out of” No. 5 Georgia in the season opener. In that interview, Watkins also crowned himself as the top receiver in the nation, predicted he would break former teammate DeAndre Hopkins’ records from last season and begged defensive backs to press him. “I guess he’s ready,” Swinney said with a laugh. “He’d better be ready. He’s got to go walk the walk now, doesn’t he?” Watkins conceded Tuesday that he regretted his word choice, but he did not recant his assertions. The bold comments were not intended to rouse reporters, coaches and cornerbacks. They are not the ones to whom Watkins is most accountable. Those comments were for Watkins’ teammates, especially his fellow wide receivers. They have heard the detractors who doubt if Clemson can compensate for the departures of Hopkins, Jaron Brown and tight end Brandon Ford. They understood that Watkins did not speak

from arrogance. He spoke from confidence, substantiated through his tireless workout habits, his disciplined nutrition regimen and his renewed commitment as a leader. “I could tell in his approach, he became more serious about it,” Bryant said. “He embraced it very well. He supports everybody. He’s the captain of the receivers, and we’ve got his back.” “It’s just a demeanor thing,” said junior defensive tackle Josh Watson. “You can tell by the way he walks. Guys listen to everything he says.” Watkins caught 82 passes for 1,219 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2011. During the tumultuous 2012, his production dropped more than 30 percent. Watkins is still the leader among active Atlantic Coast Conference wide receivers, averaging six receptions and 83.8 yards per game. He said to stay atop that list, he must remain an active leader in his locker room. “Everything happens for a reason,” Watkins said. “This year is going be a different year, with my focus and with my team and how my coaches push me and how I’m approaching this fall.” Go Online for Your

Ambrose feeling the pressure of a favorite WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Marcos Ambrose was blunt and to the point as he contemplated the twists and turns of Watkins Glen International. “I don’t know much about what’s going to happen, but I do know that I’ve got Tony Stewart covered,” said Ambrose, who has AMBROSE won the past two Cup races at the storied track in upstate New York. “I don’t think he’ll be a challenge this weekend.” Stewart likely would have been a factor. He has a Sprint Cup-record five victories at The Glen, the last coming four years ago when he easily beat Ambrose by nearly 3 seconds. But the man known as Smoke is out indefinitely with a broken right leg suffered in a sprint car crash in Iowa six days ago and will be replaced in the No. 14 Chevrolet by road racer Max Papis for Sunday’s Cheez-It 355 at The Glen.

has seen too many rows of empty seats since the economic downturn. Sunny skies with temperatures around 80 are predicted, and that’s a big factor in the turnout, but anyone who saw the finishes of the past two Cup races here have to be thirsting for another — Ambrose, Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski staged scintillating duels for the victory at the end of each race.

Pujols: Taking legal action against Clark THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Albert Pujols says he’s taking legal action against Jack Clark after the former St. Louis Cardinals star accused him of taking performance-enhancing drugs. “I am currently in the process of taking legal action against Jack Clark and his employers at WGNU 920AM,” the injured Los Angeles Angels’ slugger said a statement Friday night. “I am going to PUJOLS send a message that you cannot act in a reckless manner, like they have, and get away with it. “If I have to be the athlete to carry the torch and pave the way for other innocent players to CLARK see that you can do something about it, I am proud to be that person. I have five young children and I take being a role model very seriously. The last thing I want is for the fans, and especially the kids out there, to question my reputation and character.” Clark said Pujols’ former trainer, Chris Mihlfeld, told him 10 years ago

that he “shot him up.” Mihlfeld told ESPN.com that he didn’t tell Clark that Pujols took performance-enhancing drugs. “I haven’t even talked to Jack Clark in close to 10 years,” Mihlfeld said. “His statements are simply not true. I have known Albert Pujols since he was 18 years old, and he would never use illegal drugs in any way. I would bet my life on it and probably drop dead on the spot if I found out he has. As before, once again both Albert and myself have been accused of doing something we didn’t do.” Pujols, sidelined by a partially torn plantar fascia in his left foot, is in his second season with the Angels after 11 years in St. Louis. “I’ve said time and time again that I would never take, or even consider taking, anything illegal,” Pujols said the statement. “I’ve been tested hundreds of times throughout my career and never once have I tested positive. It is irresponsible and reckless for Jack Clark to have falsely accused me of using PED’s. My faith in Jesus Christ, and my respect for this game are too important to me. I would never be able to look my wife or kids in the eye if I had done what this man is accusing me of.

Riding or walking — there’s still work to be done

afield & afloat

he South Carolina archery deer season opens up on Thursday. I’m looking forward to it. For the last couple of weekends, my hunting partner, Jack, and I have been busy on the hunting lease getting things ready for the big day. Over the years, we have planted and cultivated a couple of food plots that have evolved as we have aged. The first versions were planted in peas or soybeans, and once the deer had eaten all of them or the cold got them, we’d throw out a couple of handfuls of rye grass or perhaps a turnip seed Earle or two. The plots WOODWARD worked, but they had to be replanted every year, and that gets a bit on the expensive side,. Besides, Jack and I get enough work at our jobs and homes, we don’t need to invent work for ourselves. So, with that in mind, we began a move toward perennial plots, plots that are planted once and will continue to produce for several years to come. Chicory was our first choice. Chicory grows fast, needs very little care, can survive with little water, stays green well into the winter and deer love it. We tilled the soil, put down lime and fertilizer, sat back and watched our little plots grow. The chicory lasted for about three years before the other weeds took over and pushed it out. At that point, Jack and I came up with our own mixture, chicory and clover. Deer love both of them and they both will do well in soil that is not first rate. We are now into the second season on the current food plots and things

are looking pretty good. Regardless of how good things look though, there is still work to be done. So last Saturday — Aug. 4 — Jack and I went to work, arriving on the property around 9 a.m. First, the tall weeds that have infiltrated the plots need to be mowed. Jack climbed aboard the John Deere and began to mow while I strapped on a hand crank spreader, walked behind the tractor, and began cranking out doses of lime, just to sweeten the soil a bit. That was followed by a liberal dose of fertilizer. The backpack sprayer full of Roundup came out and trails were sprayed from the places where we park our trucks all the way to the foot of our stands. I do not like to walk through tall grass in the early morning hours or in the hours right after sundown. I have found too many creepy, crawly things that bite on this piece of property and I like to be able to see where my feet are going to fall. I usually spray a path about four feet wide. After that, it’s just a matter of trimming back the branches that have encroached on the roads, to prevent them from scratching up our vehicles. There was one thing left to do, and, of course, we waited until almost 11 to do it. We had to be sure the temperature had soared to a sufficient level so as to be almost unbearable as we worked. All of my lock-on type stands are held in place by nylon straps, and that causes some concern on my part. Nylon has a bad habit of deteriorating over time if exposed to hot temperatures and sunlight. The straps that are on my stands are well over four years old and I just felt like they needed to be changed for my own safety and peace of mind. I ordered a couple

of replacement strap kits from the manufacturer and they showed up in plenty of time to be on hand for this work day. I always use an extra ratchet strap around the top and bottom of my stands as an added safety measure. If one breaks, hopefully the other will hold long enough for me to get down. Anyway, my plan was to leave the stands in place and replace the main strap while the extra strap held the stand in place. It looked really good on paper. So I’m standing on the top of a ladder stick, trying to unbolt a strap from the far side of the tree by suspending myself from a climbing belt and wrapping myself around the tree. It not only looked a bit awkward, it was downright uncomfortable. I got the job done, but it wore me out. Stand No. 2 would have to wait for another day. Hey, I’m almost 60 years old; I have a right to be a little whipped after working in the sun all morning and then trying something stupid like that. After consideration, I think it may work just as well to take the other stand down, change the strap on the ground, and then attach the stand to the tree again. As the years go by, I find I still enjoy working on stands and food plots, but I’m looking for better and easier ways to do it. Oh, did I tell you that Jack had an electric fertilizer spreader attached to his 4-wheeler sitting at home while I hand-cranked the property? I could have been riding instead of walking and pushing a button instead of cranking. He used some excuse about only being able to pull one trailer and the tractor was more important. I reminded him that I had a trailer hitch, to which he responded, “Oh.”

FISHING REPORT Santee Cooper System Catfish: Fair. Captain Jim Glenn reports that when water has been flowing through the canal and creating current the catfish bite in the canal has been good. Outside of the canal the bite can best be characterized as fairly slow on Lake Moultrie, even at night which is traditionally good in the summer. There have been reports of some shallow water success on Lake Marion recently. Fishing in the Santee River should improve once more water drains from the swamp and the river returns to normal level. Overall, the best bet may be drifting with cut bait and covering a range of depths, including shallow and deep water. Lake Murray Striped bass: Good. Lake World reports that striper have moved into a typical summer pattern. Most of the fish will be found from the mid-lake to the dam, with a large number of fish grouped up in the big pool on the lower end. Some anglers are also having success trolling plugs on downriggers or lead core line. Very little schooling activity has been reported and cut bait has picked up some striper as well as catfish. Captain Brad Taylor reports that most of his fishing has also been in the big pool on the lower end of the lake. He is getting the most action fishing down lines 60-80 feet deep in 100-120 feet of water. Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that the channel cat bite remains consistent. Herring, shrimp and stinkbait are working well. Lake Wateree Catfish: Good. Captain Rodger Taylor reports that a typical summer pattern involves drifting or anchoring on the flats in 9-12 feet of water with cut bait. Cut white perch and shad are both equally strong baits. Crappie: Fair to good. Veteran tournament angler Will Hinson reports that water levels have never gotten very hot and so crappie have stayed on mid-depth brush in the 11-18 foot range. Fish can be found from one end of the lake to the other, with most out on the main lake. Early in the day fish will be suspended in the top of the brush, but after 9:30 or 10:00 they will be deeper in the brush. Bridges have also been producing fish. Fish Stalker jigs have been catching fish, but Ugly Green and yellow and black flake have been working very well. Lake Greenwood Catfish: Good to very good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that channel catfish are biting very well on Lake Greenwood right now. Drifting in and out of the creeks with shrimp, herring, bream and shad in 5 to 20 feet is working well. Anchoring and fishing with shrimp and stinkbait on humps and points is also good. A good number of flatheads are also being caught at night around points on live bait. Lake Monticello Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that he is catching fish in the range of 5-40 feet right now, but in the next couple of weeks deep humps with current flowing over them should be ideal spots to locate big, aggressive fish. For now the backs of coves and humps and points have been most productive, and drifting or anchoring have both been working. Big cut gizzard shad and white perch are

| working for big fish, and if you want to put any size fish in the boat small cut herring is tough to beat. Lake Russell Catfish: Good to very good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that the catfish bite continues to be strong, with fish caught anchoring off points in 6-10 feet of water. Catalpa worms, stink bait and cut herring are all catching fish. Black Bass: Good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that high water levels have not hurt the fishing, and drop shotting with worms or live minnows/ shad around brush piles about 20 feet deep has been a strong pattern. Spotted bass are also taking a Spot Remover fished off main lake points in 12-15 feet of water. Lake Thurmond Striped and Hybrid Bass: Very good. Captain William Sasser reports that around daylight hybrids can be found on the bottom on shoals and underwater islands/ points in about 30 feet of water. If you find the right spots you will find lots of hybrids willing to eat live herring. Striper can be found 50-60 feet down over 70-80 feet of water. Even though it is late in the summer water temperatures warmed so slowly that fish are in early summer mode and feeding very well. Lake Wylie Catfish: Fair. Captain Rodger Taylor reports that he is catching a mix of blues and channels, with the best fishing on the north side of offshore humps. Fish are holding deep, sometimes in the riverbed itself, and the 30-40 foot range has been productive mid-lake. The bite for very large fish is hit or miss but there is always the chance to catch a giant under the cover darkness. Lake Jocassee Trout: Good. Captain Steve Pietrykowski reports that Lake Jocassee trout fishing remains pretty strong. The best bite has been taking place mid-morning or early afternoon. Fish have been feeding best in the 50-70 foot deep range, and trolling both spoons and live bait at speeds less than two miles per hour is working. Whether spoons or shiners/ herring work better has varied from day to day. Lake Keowee Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Fair to good. Guide Brad Fowler reports that pretty good numbers of Lake Keowee bass are being caught right now. Early in the morning fish are feeding well on topwater lures over shallow, rocky points, and later in the day fish are being caught on Carolina rigs, drop shot rigs and shakey head worms. Fish in 18-30 feet of water around depth changes and rock. The best bite has been switching back and forth between the upper and lower lake, but fish can be caught all over the lake. Lake Hartwell Striped and Hybrid Bass: Good. Captain Bill Plumley reports that striper fishing has been a bit erratic, but he has also had some of his best days recently. The main pattern has been down-lining live herring 40-80 feet deep around points on the main channel, and his boat has caught extremely good numbers of 10+ pound fish recently. Catfish: Good.

he Nazis are beginning their rise to power in Germany in the early 1930s, but in the Kit Kat Klub, a Berlin cabaret, entertainers and guests are trying to hold onto the free-spirited gaiety they’ve become accustomed to in the Weimar Republic. As the musical “Cabaret” opens Thursday at Sumter Little Theatre, it’s clear that’s getting harder and harder. While there are likely to be few people in the audiences who actually remember the rise of Nazism, Michael Duffy, who plays the emcee, said, “I really feel that ‘Cabaret’ is one of those shows that are timeless, because the under story, what’s going on around and in the cabaret, it’s almost like a picture of political life today because the struggle between conservative and liberal, the struggle between the arts and politics, money and corruption, those things are all very much like contemporary life, those problems and clashes.” Director Carmela Bryan said the play “highlights the story and the characters in the lives of the people who perform in the Kit Kat Club” as well as the nightclub’s audience. “Everyone in the play has some connection to the club,” she said. “There are

scenes inside the club, in Fraulein Schneider’s boardinghouse where several of the performers live. We get to see how their lives are intertwined and how they are affected by political and social change.” Bryan said she has a dedicated cast that has been in intense rehearsal for many weeks. “They have good insights into their characters and the story,” she said, “and a musical like ‘Cabaret’ requires a lot of talent. They have to act, sing and dance,” and working with the crew and the orchestra, “the show will be very fluid.” Duffy said his character serves as a guide for the audience, both the viewers and those inside the Kit Kat Klub. “He’s like the talk show host of that time, making fun of the politicians and sort of keeping people informed on what’s going on through his ‘monologue,’” he explained. “’Cabaret’ begins in the golden age of the Weimar Republic — everybody’s having a good time. And right outside the door, there are people homeless and starving, people who can’t get jobs. Right down the street, there’s a group of guys pushing their political SEE CABARET, PAGE C4

Sumter gets children’s home; Edenses ‘Master Farm Family’

Yesteryear

75 YEARS AGO – 1938-39 Jan 5-11 An announcement was made today that the Crippled Children Society of South Carolina would be established in Sumter on the property now occupied by the Children’s Home on Broad Street Sammy extension. WAY The announcement was made by the executive committee of the Crippled Children Society consisting of President W.M. Perry of Columbia, Charles W. Griffith of Manning and Executive Secretary Samuel R. Shillman and the trustees of the Children’s Home, J.A. Raffield, W.E. Bynum and J.A. McKnight. The society will take over the Children’s Home on May 1, it was stated. There are

now 32 children in the home and they will all be taken care of by the society. The Children’s Home has been in operation in Sumter County since 1929, first on the corner of Salem Avenue and Haynsworth Street then on the Upshur property near Second Mill and for the last three years at its present location on property formerly owned by Mrs. R.D. Graham. “In and Around the Town” —The reduced railroad passenger rate will go into effect Jan. 15, and it is anticipated that there will be increased passenger business almost immediately. When a similar low rate was put into effect years ago the patronage of the railroads immediately and steadily increased and as immediately decreased when the rate was raised. Low rates and convenient regular schedules will enable the railroads to compete with the bus lines for passenger busi-

ness. At present the railroads do not operate trains on convenient schedules as they once did. The two storerooms in the Tuomey block, South Main Street, occupied prior to the recent fire at the Rainbow Restaurant and the Home Stores, are being repaired and converted into one large store room for the Home Stores which will resume business with a much larger and more varied stock of groceries as soon as the repairs are completed. Bird hunters who flush a covey consisting of only two to four birds should hold their fire and leave the birds to raise larger coveys for next season. Real game conservation contemplates leaving adequate breeding stock in every natural range. That is a better plan than releasing coop-raised birds on depleted ranges. A Main Street merchant is

thoroughly convinced that the most needed civic improvement is the widening of the Main Street traffic lane by the reduction of the width of the sidewalks. Bob Spessard, elongated center of the Sumter Generals basketball team, sprained his ankle during the first half of last night’s game with the Royal Cords of Winnsboro. During the halftime rest period he told a boy to run upstairs and “get the tape.” The boy tore off and within a few minutes returned and handed Bob a steel measuring tape. The senior classes at the high schools enjoyed a costumed Barn Dance in the auditorium of the Girl’s High School last night. The large stage, which was used as the dance floor, was elaborately decorated in farm style, and the 20th century Maud Mullers and their rustic swains danced the Big Apple on

freshly unbaled hay. The party was chaperoned by faculty members, and everyone had a happy evening of innocent amusement. Kiwanians host ladies’ night — The Sumter Kiwanis Club held its annual ladies’ night meeting Wednesday evening at the Claremont Hotel. One of the largest crowds in the history of Kiwanis was present to enjoy the splendid programs prepared by the chairman E.M. Hall. The program for the evening consisted of splendid entertainment provided by the members of the Major Bowes amateur troupe which was playing in Sumter. The group of young musicians showed some real ability in imitating popular band artists. During the remainder of the evening the group of lady guests enjoyed playing “Sereno,” prizes being donated by SEE YESTERYEAR, PAGE C4

William Ellison founded the 1st gin factory in S.C. The Watchman and Southron printed an article on Aug. 9, 1911, giving a history of William Ellison, a former slave who achieved remarkable success in the Stateburg community, and his successful cotton gin factory, which was being torn down. It is reproduced here, along with information from Anne King Gregorie’s “History of Sumter County,” Cassie Nicholes’ “Historical Sketches of Sumter County,” Walter Edgar’s “South Carolina, a History” and Item archives:

reflections

This former slave (William Ellison) experienced a remarkable rise in the Claremont District’s society and business community. Stateburg serves as his final resting place, with his gravesite being located adjacent to Garner’s Ferry Road. The Governor Miller house, which he purchased, remains a focal point of the Stateburg Community. William Ellison ranked as perhaps the most remarkable free Negro to have lived in the Sumter District. He was considered a gifted ginwright, whose talents were known throughout the Sammy district. WAY He posted an advertisement in the Camden Gazette, Feb. 1, 1817, stating “having served a regular apprenticeship with Captain McCreight of Winnsboro, he had established himself at Stateburg to make and repair gins on McCreight’s plan at a charge at $3 a saw.” By the age of 26 he was able to purchase his freedom during his apprenticeship by saving the money he earned doing extra work. His remarkable skills became wellknown and desired by local planters, allowing increased earnings thus allowing him to purchase the freedom of his wife, Matilda, and daughter, Eliza Ann. Ellison began to purchase property from

Thomas Sumter, later buying the home of former Gov. Stephen D. Miller, including a number of slaves, who remained in his family for three generations. While living in Stateburg, he “established himself first as a gin maker and then as a planter,” and by 1860 he owned 900 acres, 63 slaves, and a pew in the Episcopal Church of the Holy Cross; he had a net worth of $61,120 or $1.1 million in today’s currency. “One of the landmarks of historic Stateburg, the Old Ellison Gin Factory building, of which comparatively few people in this county know anything, is being dismantled and torn down. Part of the building is in a dilapidated condition and other parts are being carried off where the lumber will be of more service than in the old building which has stood the storms of a century. There are scarcely any school children and few grown men and women in the county who know

anything of the old Ellison Gin Factory and outside of the county, with the exception of historians and others who had occasion to search through the records of the State, there are almost none who know that prior to the (Civil) war, Stateburg sent out from the Ellison Gin Factory some of the best gins which were in use anywhere in the country. ... Ellison and his family were wellknown and respected by the white people of the neighborhood for they were hard-working and peaceable citizens. Henry and William Ellison were the two sons born to William and his wife, and these two were engaged in the factory with their father. The factory was established sometime in the early part of the 19th century; exactly what year is not known. It was the first gin factory in the state of South Carolina and one of the first in the South. Ellison by his economy had managed to save sufficient money to purchase a

number of slaves and these were employed in his factory, from which gins were sent to all parts of the cotton-growing states. Ellison and his two sons were fine artisans and the material turned out from their factory was the very best on the market and almost every old man in this county can tell of the Ellison Cotton Gin which some of his kinfolks used before the War — and afterward too, for the gins always lasted for years and years. While most of the gins were used in this state, a large number were sent out to other states east of the Mississippi, and some even went beyond that ‘Father of Waters.’ The factory was situated a few hundred feet from the old CamdenCharleston Highway and at that point

where the road turns off to Garner’s Ferry, now the regular Columbia-Sumter Garner’s Ferry Road. In the heart of Stateburg the factory was established, and for many years it continued operations. The factory was still doing a fine business up to the time of the war and even during the war it continued operation, but it was closed during the latter years of the war and never reopened. The skill of the Ellisons will be realized when the fact is known that there were many white people of those days who sent their sons to work under the older Ellison and his two sons as apprentices, that they might learn some of the skill in artisanship for which their masters were renowned. The property is still owned by descen-

dants of the first Ellison and his wife. It has served its purpose, however, and must give way to something else more modern and useful in its way, but more important to the people of a commonwealth than was the old Ellison Cotton Gin Factory in its day and time.” William Ellison died on Dec. 5, 1861, shortly after celebrating his 85th birthday. His two sons William and Henry succeeded their father and continued the business in the same shop which stood until 1911 when it was torn down. He was considered by many historians to be one of ‘the most successful free-black entrepreneurs in South Carolina.”’ Contact Item Archivist Sammy Way at waysammy@yahoo. com or (803) 774-1294.

Bradshaw is based on Christopher Isherwood, the writer on whose novel the play is based, and Sally is the headliner at the Kit Kat Klub. Van Sickle said she’s really excited about the play. She and Wilt both find its subject matter remains relevant. “The main characters represent different groups in Germany at that time that I think still exist,” Van Sickle said. “You have people who are very active with social change, you have people who go with the flow and people who pretend like nothing’s going on.” Wilt said, “I like that word ‘pretend.’ I think ‘Cabaret’ says a lot about seeing KEITH GEDAMKE / SPECIAL TO THE ITEM what’s wrong in the world and either Matt Wilt and Kendal Van Sickle play the choosing to ignore it and living your life young lovers Cliff Bradshaw and Sally as if it doesn’t affect you or seeing that Bowles, whose lives revolve around we’re all connected in some way.” events in and around the Kit Kat Klub, Buzz Cornell plays Herr Schultz, “the where she is a headliner.

Sumter Ice & Fuel to distribute beer — Appointment of Sumter Ice & Fuel Co. to be the exclusive distributor of the products of the Joe Schlitz Brewing Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in Sumter was announced today. “In deciding to advertise Schlitz in The Item,” Mr. Moses announced, “we made our choice on the basis of reaching people whose tastes are modern and progressive.

“I think some of the audience will be surprised, because we’re doing a slightly different version from what most people have seen,” he said. “It’s about bigotry. Schultz and Schneider are in love, and there’s societal pressure on them.” When the prostitute Fraulein Kost, played by Jenny Thigpen, informs the Nazi Ernst, played by David Brown, that Schneider and Schultz are engaged, the pressures increase. Before that point, Cornell said, there are many light and touching moments in their scenes together. “They’re courting,” he said, “and both of their songs together are kind of light love songs. There are a lot of beautiful, haunting songs in ‘Cabaret.’” Floyd said her scenes and songs with Cornell are touching, and her solo, “What Would You Do? (if you were me),” is “very sad. She has to make some tough decisions, she’s got to get along.” Thigpen does double duty as Fraulein Kost and a cabaret singer, whose solo “Tomorrow Belongs to Me” is a chilling foreshadowing of Germany’s future under Hitler’s Third Reich. Thigpen has some sympathy for Kost’s character, noting that she’s entertaining sailors at the boardinghouse “just to make a living. She doesn’t enjoy being a prostitute. Her connection to the Nazis is hazy.” Although Bryan describes “Cabaret” as “darker and edgier” than the 1972

of Alice Drive Baptist Church. Sports news: The Daily Item is sending its sports writers and photographers out to cover the Friday night football games around the area. This continues the new policy of expanded high school football coverage this fall and increased sports in the Saturday issues. Hubert Osteen Jr. will man the press box at Memorial Stadium tonight to bring readers a firsthand account of the Eau Claire-Sumter High game. Veteran Photographer Heyward Crowson will be at his familiar post on the sidelines capturing the action on film. City Editor Jack Copeland will take care of the important ManningBishopville game in Bishopville, while Sports Editor Ray Guest covers one of the other area games. In addition, Item correspondents will telephone results of the remaining games as the sports department will remain open from 10:30 until 11:30 to receive calls. In order to accommodate the increased football coverage, the Saturday sports page has grown into two pages regularly and may swell into three on occasion. The bulldogs of Lincoln High will travel to Columbia tonight to take on the Tornadoes of Booker T. Washington. The Bulldogs hope to get into the win column tonight, but they will have their work cut out for them. The Tornadoes, always tough on their home field, will be gunning for win No. 3 against 3 losses. The Bulldogs have lost four straight and are looking for their first victory. Last week the Bulldogs lost a thriller to Barr Street in Lancaster by the score of 15 to 7. Coach Robert Jenkins said that he was pleased with his team’s performance last week, but nothing is like winning and that’s what the Bulldogs have not done as yet this year. “We have improved a great deal, considering the percentage of new players we have,” Coach Dorsey said. Last night at Memorial Stadium Edmunds

Bob Fosse film, she said, “The music everyone is familiar with is there, and the number ‘Two Ladies’ with the emcee, Wren Bunch and Jenny Thigpen is hysterical.” Other musical numbers include “Don’t’ Tell Mama,” “If You Could See Her,” “Wilkommen,” “Cabaret,” “It Couldn’t Please Me More” and several others. Bryan credited music director Joni Brown and her orchestra, rehearsal accompanist Linda Beck and choreographers Libby Singleton and Jennifer Reimer for their important contributions to the show. “’Cabaret’ has required a lot of cooperation among the different elements of the production,” Bryan said. “Everyone works well together, it’s smooth, and I think the audiences will really like the show. It’s entertaining, and it’ll give them something to talk about when the performance is over. I believe many will be thinking about it for quite a while.” Sumter Little Theatre presents “Cabaret” Thursday through Aug. 18 and Aug. 22-25. Sunday matinees start at 3 p.m.; all other performances at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, $17 for students, seniors and military.

High quarterback Tommy Edens performed as a maximum quarterback and directed the Gamecocks to victory over Eau Claire with one big play after another. He even ran for first downs twice on fourth down. With Sumter hanging on to a not-too substantial 13-7 lead after several scoring threats by Eau Claire, Edens broke the game wide open by dashing 78 yards up the middle to put it out of reach of the Shamrocks.

service clubs of Sumter. Edmunds band wins — The Edmunds High School Band placed first in the AAA Division at the Eastern Carolina Agriculture Fair yesterday. The marching contest, an annual event at Florence, featured 13 outstanding bands from across the state. Band captain Joe McElveen said, “We have benefited greatly from this contest. It uncovered a few weak spots that need to be improved. Performing before judges helps prepare the band for the big state contest in Camden.” Robert Simmons is director of the Edmunds Band. Key Club certified — Sumter County’s newest Key Club officially came into being Friday when a certificate of organization was presented to the Hillcrest high School unit at a luncheon meeting of the sponsoring Kiwanis Club. Dr. W.J. Snyder Jr., Kiwanis president, presented the framed certificate to Mike Kelly, first president of the Hillcrest club. Kelly, in turn, offered the charter to the school principal, Frank C.

New owner keeps

Wen Lily’s originals, plans for expansion

ot all business takeovers are drama filled. In March, Evan Hallinan took over Summerton’s Wen Lily’s Southern Specialties from Wendy Cogdill. “At first, we didn’t say a word about it,” said the 34-year-old. “People worry that it will not be the same, but the town is so small that word spreads quickly that it had changed hands.” When Cogdill approached Hallinan in February, he said he “jumped at the opportunity” to run a restaurant with such “a solid reputation.” He has nearly 20 years of experience in the food industry and is also the current director of dietary services for the Clarendon Health System. “It’s going really good, and Evan is such a sweet guy,” Cogdill said. “I had been in business about 12 years and the food business a long time before that. I was ready for a change, to be home and to be a grandma.” She knew Hallinan from his work in the community. “I thought it would be a perfect match, and I think Evan wanted to have his own restaurant,” Cogdill said. “It’s exciting for him, and he’s such a hard worker. I’m just real excited that it will be able to stay open. Hopefully he has got some good ideas. Maybe he’ll reach a market I didn’t. He’s young and energetic. I’m glad he has the opportunity to have his own business.” Hallinan kept the previous staff and had Cogdill come in to train him and the new, additional staff members. Evan Hallinan helps his daughter, “We have an allMaddy, 5, hold the knife as they cut star cast,” he said. into a chicken Monday.

For six weeks, she trained us hands on so we could execute the recipes correctly. We owe her tremendously. She is responsible for the tried-and-true favorites, and she is still a resource we use.” He’s also kept the retail portion of Wen Lily’s intact, and right now all items are 25 percent off as a “thank you” to loyal customers. It features books, photography by Larry Watkins of Charleston, Maere Chandler Skinner art, seasoning mixes and more. “We’re trying to preserve this place,” he said. “It’s very unique and very charming.” The store specializes in WenLily’s Chicken Salad, but the jalapeño pimento cheese and the orange cranberry turkey salad are also pretty popular, Hallinan said. Besides eating in or ordering to go, Wen Lily’s also

has a “casserole corner.” “We have pies and casseroles that are frozen with cooking instructions,” he said. “They feed four to eight people, and we rotate the selection.” There are also signature desserts. “She and I love the lemon bars,” Hallinan said, referring to his 5-year-old daughter, Maddy. She helps him out around Wen Lily’s, and she’s been known to eat a cappuccino chocolate muffin or two as well. “Does it taste like coffee?” Hallinan asked. “Yeah, a little bit,” Maddy said. “A little bit like coffee and lots like chocolate.” Hallinan has made a few changes. “Since I took over, I’ve been working on updating the technology,” he said. “We have a Facebook page. We have free Wi-Fi, and I’ve added Direct TV. Twitter will be coming soon.” He plans to launch a new line of pound cakes “in the near future” and a line of salads. He is also considering selling some of Wen Lily’s favorite sauces and dressings for customers to use at home. As the new dishes and products roll out, Hallinan plans to post information to the Facebook account, facebook.com/wenlilys. southernspecialties. This is also a great way for local artists to contact him about selling their wares in the shop. “We try to use local sourcing as much as possible,” he said. He welcomes local groups as well, having hosted garden clubs, bridge clubs and Rotary meetings. “We’re child-friendly and non-smoking,” Hallinan said. “We can do large orders with advance notice. We’ve done a few vacation Bible schools and a lot of funerals.” Open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, Wen Lily’s is located at 112 E. Main St., Summerton. For more information, call (803) 4852225.
