First-year college students at Morris College got a glimpse of their new living and learning environment as they moved into their dorm rooms during freshman move-in day on Saturday. Deborah Calhoun, director of admissions and records, said 440 potential, first-year students accepted an offer to attend the college for the 2015-16 school year. Saturday was a “one-stop shop,” of sorts as students

and parents checked in for move-in day at the GarrickBoykin Human Development Center, she said. Students had the opportunity to meet with representatives of the financial aid, student affairs and business offices as well as receive assistance with voter registration.

BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY kontantin@theitem.com Brandon Brown has trouble sleeping at night. The U.S. Army veteran has found a way to combat his problem, however, by making model military vehicles out of wood, a portion of which he donates to other veterans and military personnel. One sleepless night resulted in him picking up a new hobby, which brought back nostalgic memories from his deployment in Afghanistan. He made one model military vehicle in his garage. That was about a year-and-a-half ago. He has since made about 300 pieces. “I started making the models for

myself, but then I decided to share them with others, veterans and military personnel,” he said. The insomnia started after his deployment in Afghanistan more than four years ago, he said. Initially trained as a mechanic in the

U.S. Army’s 557th Maintenance Company, Brown volunteered to be a gunner for the company’s Quick Reaction Force. The unit would go on night patrol from midnight to noon daily. Although Brown said he does not suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, he could not get back to sleeping at night after returning to the U.S. in May 2011, after a oneyear tour. Back and knee injuries, a result of a military vehicle wreck he was involved in while stationed in Kuwait, added to his sleeping problems. He also suffers from eczema. “At age 30, I developed a serious

Pentagon looks at stateside prisons as alternatives to Gitmo BY LOLITA C. BALDOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Defense Department is taking another look at the military prison in Kansas and the Navy Brig in South Carolina as it evaluates potential U.S. facilities to house detainees from the prison at Guantana-

mo Bay, Cuba, part of the Obama administration’s controversial push to close the detention center. Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said a team was surveying the Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth on Friday and will do a similar assessment at the Naval Consolidated

Brig in Charleston later this month. Davis said the team will assess the costs associated with construction and other changes that would be needed in order to use the facility to house the detainees as well as conduct military commission trials for those accused of war crimes. The closure of the Guanta-

namo Bay detention center has been a top priority for President Obama, who pledged on his first day in office to shut it down. But that effort has faced persistent hurdles, including staunch opposition from Republicans and some Democrats in Congress and ongoing difficulties transferring out

the dozens of detainees who have been cleared to leave. Officials have to identify countries to take the detainees and must get assurances that they will be appropriately monitored and will not pose a security threat. About 52 of the 116 current

Police urge road safety around schools FROM STAFF REPORTS

The department asks the public to obey these traffic safety tips around local schools: • Be aware of school zone speed limits (25 mph when lights are flashing). • Watch out for children crossing the roadway/crosswalks. • Obey crossing guard/police officer commands. • Never pass a stopped school bus with flashing lights. Drivers must stop when approaching a school bus that is stopped to pick up or let off children. The driver must remain stopped until the bus stop sign is retracted and red warning lights are turned off. Parents should also instruct their children on these school traffic safety tips: • Choose the safest route to school and walk it with your child prior to allowing them to travel it on their own. • Always look both ways before cross-

Sumter Police Department will have an extra presence of officers for the first day of classes Monday morning and afternoon in and near schools. The extra presence is to help ensure a safe start to the 2015-16 school year, said Tonyia McGirt, public information officer for Sumter Police Department. Officers will patrol roadways near city schools and crossings, monitoring vehicle speeds and other violations such as passing stopped school buses. Officers also will be added at Sumter High School to assist school resource officers normally assigned to the school. “We want to make sure this school year gets off to a good start and help remind drivers of good safety habits that should always be practiced,” said Chief Russell F. Roark III.

ing the street. • Cross in the designated crosswalks, not in the middle of the block. Never cross from between parked cars. Never cross an intersection diagonally. • Cross the street with the Crossing Guard whenever possible. • Children should look to see that drivers are aware of them. • Cross quickly — do not linger or play in the street. • Always wear a helmet when riding a bicycle to school. • Walk bicycles across the crosswalk. • Be careful in parking lots — look out for cars as they may not be able to see you. Never walk or run in front of cars. • Teach children the meaning of traffic signs. Stop at all stop signs, red lights and obey traffic signals. When the intersection has crossing signals, only cross when the walk signal is lit.

• When walking on sidewalks, be aware of driveways and alleys from which cars may emerge. • When walking down a street with no sidewalks, walk as near to the edge of the road as possible, facing traffic. Wearing bright-colored clothing increases visibility. Reflective tape on jackets, backpacks, bikes, etc. will also help children to be more visible to drivers. For more information about these and other safety tips, contact Sumter Police Department’s Community Services Unit at (803) 436-2723. Start times, drop-off and pickup procedures, bus routes and other information can be found on the school district’s website, www.sumterschools.net.

Medicaid offers nutrition counseling to combat obesity in S.C. BY SEANNA ADCOX The Associated Press COLUMBIA (AP) — Poor, obese South Carolinians covered by Medicaid can get help slimming down through nutritional counseling sessions aimed at stemming chronic and costly health problems. The Department of Health and Human Services added the weight-loss services this month for the estimated 184,000 Medicaid-covered adults with a body mass index of 30 or more, which is the definition of obese. That roughly translates to a 5-foot-8 adult weighing more than 200 pounds. The goal is to reduce obesity rates in a state that consistently ranks among the fattest nationwide, saving both lives and money.

Nearly 32 percent of South Carolina adults are obese, up from 25 percent in 2004 and 12 percent in 1990. The state ranks among the worst nationwide in obesity-related diabetes and hypertension, according to the Trust for America’s Health. Patients in counseling can learn how to prevent such chronic diseases with healthy habits they pass on to younger generations, hopefully improving the state’s overall health, said Jamie Kandora, a registered dietitian with Tidelands Health, which operates along the Grand Strand. With a doctor’s referral, patients can receive individualized behavior and nutritional advice from doctors and licensed dietitians. Medicaid will pay for up to 12 counseling visits that can include lessons

on metabolism and exercise, cooking tips and help planning healthy meals on a limited budget. Some people don’t eat healthy because they think it’s too expensive, but it doesn’t have to be, Kandora said. “Dietitians are particularly good at meeting patients where they’re at, not saying, ‘Only shop at Whole Foods and eat organic,’ but here’s how can we inch you closer” to a healthy weight based on your situation, said Nina Crowley, a registered dietitian at the Medical University of South Carolina. “It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach.” The program’s development began under former Medicaid director Tony Keck, who presented the idea to legislators last year. Christian Soura, who took the agency’s helm last November, said the pro-

gram is somewhat experimental and may need to be adjusted later. Evaluations during the next year will determine whether more office visits, for example, are needed to improve success rates. It’s unclear how many people will participate, but the program’s estimated cost for this fiscal year is $5.6 million. “Let’s see how it goes,” Soura said Wednesday. “There’s an expectation there will be a gradual ramp up, and we’ll see if this version of the model works or not.” So far, 45 independent licensed dietitians have enrolled to be Medicaid providers. Others are employed through participating hospitals. The agency’s 43 dietitians can also assist with counseling services, according to the agency.

Meditate for better health

efore the 1800s, it was been thought that there was a strong link between mental and physical health and that a person’s emotions were linked to disease. But when antibiotics and treatments came along to improve illness, that belief was pushed aside. Today, medical professionals accept that there is a mindbody connection through which different factors can directly affect our health. According to the National Missy Institutes of Corrigan Health, a person’s psychological well-being can have a positive or negative affect on their health. Mind-body practices such as meditation have been shown to not only help improve psychological functioning, but also to improve quality of life by helping to ease symptoms of disease. Meditation practices have been used for centuries to improve health. It focuses on treatments that include relaxation, visual imagery, meditation and biofeedback. Meditation has shown to have positive physical and psychological effects, such as lowering blood pressure and stress levels. Approximately 60 percent of doctor visits are stress related. Meditation can slow or reduce the amount of adrenaline released by your body. A

study found that individuals with heart disease that practiced meditation reduced their risk of a heart attack or stroke by 48 percent when compared to a population that didn’t meditate. Furthermore, the American Heart Association supports meditation practices for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. For those living with arthritis and chronic conditions, mediation may help lessen pain as well as depression and anxiety associated with injury or chronic conditions. The Journal of the American Medical Association reports that patients who practiced meditation had a 30 percent reduction in perceived pain. Meditation is a practice of internal awareness which brings a sense of well-being. It’s not just about keeping the mind quiet; it is about being present in the moment and finding internal peace. The amount of time spent meditating is not as important as the frequency. The benefits of mediation are best experienced by those who practice regularly. Even 10 minutes of daily meditation can be highly beneficial. Although meditation has been practiced for thousands of years, it didn’t really catch on in the United States until about 30 years ago. While there are many great books and DVDs to help get you started, there are also many classes offered in our community that can bring you the benefits of mind-body practices.

Fugh-Berman of Georgetown University. “If approved, I think this drug will be widely prescribed, and we would see an epidemic of adverse effects.” After a year of lobbying by Sproutbacked supporters, the drug won a surprising 18-6 recommendation from a panel of FDA advisers in June. The FDA is scheduled to make its decision on the drug by Tuesday. Sprout’s drug was actually acquired from Boehringer Ingelheim in 2011. The German drugmaker shelved the pill after a unanimous vote against its approval by FDA advisers in June 2010. CEO Cindy Whitehead and her husband, Bob Whitehead, who preceded her as CEO, paid for the drug, dubbed Addyi, by selling off their testosterone business, which had grown to nearly 100 employees. These days, the executives like to emphasize their company’s small size. In interviews, CEO Cindy Whitehead

jokes that Sprout’s entire staff of 25 could fit in an elevator. There is little financial information available about Slate or Sprout because they have both been privately held. The Whiteheads say their hormonal implant, Testopel, grew into the second most-prescribed testosterone treatment among urologists, ahead of competing gels and injections. But the company’s promotional efforts went too far. In March 2010, the FDA sent Slate an 11-page warning letter, highlighting a host of misleading, unsupported and inaccurate statements in its brochures, websites and a video. In a rare step, the FDA held a teleconference with the company to outline its “serious concerns.” Among the many problems, the company’s website suggested Testopel could benefit patients with depression, diabetes and HIV.

Soldier’s journey to heal spotlights ‘soul wounds’ Feelings of guilt, shame about wartime actions known as moral injury

MORAL INJURY DIFFERS FROM PTSD

BY JULIE WATSON The Associated Press SAN DIEGO — “It was just another day in Mosul,” the soldier began, his voice shaking. Sgt. 1st Class Marshall Powell took a deep breath. He couldn’t look at the other three servicemen in the group therapy session. He’d rarely spoken about his secret, the story of the little girl who wound up in his hospital during the war in Iraq, where he served as an Army nurse. Her chest had been blown apart, and her brown eyes implored him for help. Whenever he’d thought of her since, “I killed the girl” echoed in his head. Powell kept his eyes glued to the pages he’d written. He recalled the chaos after a bombing that August day in 2007, the vehicles roaring up with Iraqi civilians covered in blood. About midnight, Powell took charge of the area housing those with little chance of survival. There, amid the mangled bodies, he saw her. She was tiny, maybe 6 years old, lying on the floor. Her angelic face reminded him of his niece back home in Oklahoma. Back in the therapy room, saying it all out loud, Powell’s eyes began to fill just at the memory of her. “I couldn’t let her lay there and suffer,” he said. A doctor had filled a syringe with painkillers. Powell pushed dose after dose into her IV. “She smiled at me,” he told the others in the room, “and I smiled back. Then she took her last gasp of air.” Before the war, Sgt. Powell’s very core was built on God and faith and saving lives, not doing anything that could end one. He lost his purpose when the girl died, and he found himself in a nondescript room on a San Diego naval base trying desperately to save his own crumbling existence. Surrounding him that day were veterans who had suffered as he suffered: An Army staff sergeant who stood frozen in shock, unable to offer aid to a fellow soldier whose legs were severed in an explosion in Afghanistan. A Marine whose junior comrade was fatally shot after he convinced him to switch posts in Iraq. A Navy man who beat an Iraqi citizen in anger.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Retired U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Marshall Powell sits at the dining room table and pauses while talking March 16 about his emotionally traumatic experiences serving as a military nurse in northern Iraq in 2007, during one of the bloodiest years of the conflict, at Powell’s home in Crescent, Oklahoma. Like Powell, they’d spent years torturing themselves over acts that tortured their conscience. “Souls in anguish” is how some experts describe this psychological scar of war now being identified as “moral injury.” Unlike post-traumatic stress disorder, which is based on fear from feeling one’s life threatened, moral injury produces guilt and shame from something done or witnessed that goes against one’s values or may even be a crime. The Navy now runs one of the military’s first residential treatment programs that addresses the problem — the one that Powell found. Still, debate persists about whether moral injury is a part of PTSD or its own separate condition. There is no formal medical diagnosis for it. Psychiatrists who treat moral injury think it has contributed to the suicide rate among veterans, who account for 1 out of every 5 suicides in the United States. PTSD sufferers can find relief with medication and counseling that encourages reliving the triggering incident to work through fear. But if the person considers what happened to be morally wrong, reliving it may only reaffirm that belief. Counselors have found the self-punishment stops when veterans learn the deed does not define who they are. Veter-

ans, the experts said, find comfort in sharing with each other because only those who’ve experienced war can truly understand the complexity of morality on the battlefield. “The pain brings everyone together and creates a bond that no one can break,” said Elvin Carey of Murrieta, California, whose fellow Marine died after the two switched posts. Sgt. Powell is a friendly man who finds peace working on his family’s farmland outside Crescent, Oklahoma. He said he wanted to share his story because it might prompt others to seek help. And while Powell always blamed himself for the girl’s death, three toxicology experts interviewed by The Associated Press said her injuries, not the drugs, likely caused her death. In the program’s final weeks, Powell and the other men were told to write a letter of apology or reconciliation as a way to finally find self-forgiveness. Powell addressed his to the little girl’s parents. He’d never met the couple or knew if they survived the bombing, so the letter went nowhere. But it helped to put down the words and read them aloud to his fellow veterans. “I want you to know,” he wrote, “your daughter has been in my heart each day since that night.”

WHAT IS MORAL INJURY? Moral injury is when veterans feel extreme guilt and shame from something they did or witnessed in conflict that goes against their values or may even be a crime. The term was introduced in the 1990s by a now-retired Department of Veterans Affairs psychiatrist, Dr. Jonathan Shay, who diagnosed the problem in Vietnam veterans he was treating. Shay has identified two kinds of moral injury: service members blame themselves for something that violated their own moral code, or someone of trust did something that went against a service member’s beliefs. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? The symptoms and ensuing behaviors often mirror those of PTSD. Sufferers may experience suicidal thoughts, withdrawal, hypervigilance, agitation and nightmares. Often they are demoralized and behave in a selfdestructive way, such as binge drinking, doing drugs and destroying relationships. HOW IS MORAL INJURY DIFFERENT FROM PTSD? Those who study moral injury, including Shay and military trauma expert and clinical psychologist Brett Litz, say that PTSD is fear-based,

stemming from a life-threatening event, while moral injury is rooted in feelings of shame and guilt. With PTSD, loud noises or chaotic crowds may trigger a flashback. With moral injury, veterans engage in selftorment, punishing themselves with constant self-recrimination. WHAT PROGRAMS TREAT MORAL INJURY? The Navy offers a two-month residential treatment program for active-duty service members who have not found success with treatment for PTSD. Called Overcoming Adversity and Stress Injury Support, or OASIS, patients stay at a Navy facility in San Diego, where they participate in group therapy, learn coping skills and may partake in yoga, meditation and volunteer work. The therapy includes writing down and sharing with others what triggered the trauma, writing a letter of apology or reconciliation and crafting a letter to a benevolent figure. Brite Divinity School in Fort Worth, Texas, runs the Soul Repair Center, which is researching methods to assist chaplains and other religious leaders in how to address moral injury. — The Associated Press

Chaplain finds room in her heart to forgive BY CHRISTINA ELMORE The Post and Courier of Charleston CHARLESTON — An open Bible rested comfortably in the hands of Eva Smith, its pages worn and fixed on the words of First Peter. “Tend the flock of God which is among you,” she read aloud. It was those words that led the 78-year-old North Charleston woman to take on a position 15 years ago as head chaplain at the Charleston County jail. And it’s those words that continue to guide her — a source of strength that allows her to endure. “If I must say something, it’s that God loves his people no matter what they do,” she said. “It’s up to the people to accept his word.” It’s not her place to judge, she said. Instead, she chooses to forgive. In her time, she’s encountered no crime so heinous for which she can’t find room in her heart to offer that gift. Even, she said, in recent months when she crossed paths with the man suspected of walking into Charleston’s Emanuel AME Church in June and shooting nine black parishioners. The killings, described by authorities as a racially motivated hate crime, placed Dylann Roof, a 21-year-old white man, at the jail charged with nine counts of murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. He faces 33 additional counts on federal hate, weapon and other charges. To Smith, though, Roof is merely a young man, like any other, in need of God’s love. A mother of three and grandmother of eight, Smith, who is black, attempted to build a rapport with Roof by asking whether his parents had come to visit. Arms crossed, face scrunched, he replied no, she said. Well, what about a girlfriend, she asked. “Then he looked up at me, and he

Chaplain Eva Smith, who has served at the Charleston County Detention Center for nearly 20 years, speaks with Maj. Bernard Keys. “He has a brand new baby. That’s his first baby, so you know how that is,” Smith chuckled. “I have passion for him that way.” Roof, Slager and all the others booked during the years at the jail “are just my sons,” Smith said. “I don’t care what the issue is.” The first step to helping them, she said, is finding the strength to look past the worst in us all. “I have to forgive first. That’s the healing. ... If you can forgive, then He will forgive you,” she explained, “Amen.” It took “years and years” of growth to reach and maintain the position Smith holds leading the lost and misguided to salvation. “And I still have years and years to go,” she said.

smiled,” she said. “You have to make him smile. ... I really feel that he’s going to get the help he needs because of the people who are saying, ‘I forgive him. I forgive him.’ The law’s going to do what it has to do, but we aren’t a people of an eye for an eye.” Housed near Roof at the jail is Michael Slager, the former North Charleston patrolman charged with murder in the April shooting death of Walter Scott. The shooting made headlines amid an ongoing public discussion on whether officers across the nation too quickly resort to deadly force during encounters with minorities. Slager is white; Scott was black. In Smith’s eyes, Slager is “a sweet young man” who talks often of the joys of fatherhood, however limited from behind the jail’s walls.

Her path stemmed from a childhood deeply rooted in her faith. “Growing up in North Charleston, everybody went to church,” Smith said. She developed a talent for singing early on. So much so, she said, that she was selected at age 11 to lead the senior choir at Bethel Reformed Episcopal Church, located then in the Union Heights neighborhood, rather than accompany the juniors. As an Episcopalian, Smith said she never considered as a child that she would one day join the ministry. “In the Episcopalian Church, women did not preach. Women did not do any more than teach Sunday school, help with the communion or sing in the choir, as far as I saw,” Smith said. Her vision for herself began to change in early adulthood while stationed in the Philippines and, later, Louisiana with her husband, an airman she met while doing domestic work at Charleston Air Force Base. Smith recalled being so overcome while singing in a choir that her hands began to rise, seemingly on their own. On another occasion, she awoke from slumber yelling, “I’m saved, I’m saved,” she said. “I really sensed the Lord pulling on me through dreams and vision,” she said. “That’s how I decided I had a calling that he was trying to make me aware of.” After studying theology and being ordained an elder and later associate pastor at churches in Louisiana, Smith moved back to South Carolina in the ‘90s to build her own church. Soon afterward, she said, she felt God instructing her to “tend the flock of God which is among you.” She took the words to mean that she should volunteer as a chaplain at the Charleston County jail. She was selected as head chaplain four years later in 2000.

Oceanic junk ranges from Legos to jet wreckage

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A plastic bottle lies among other debris washed ashore on the Indian Ocean beach in Uswetakeiyawa, north of Colombo, Sri Lanka, on Thursday. Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. While officials believe it crashed in the Indian Ocean, killing all aboard, the wreckage and cause remain elusive despite a vast ongoing search led by Australia. Finding anything specific amid the oceanic junk piles requires immense effort. Just how much debris is out there? No one knows, though certainly the scale is enormous. According to a 2015 study, the world dumps 8.8 million tons of plastic into the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

oceans every year. The study, led by University of Georgia environmental engineering professor Jenna Jambeck, warned that in a decade the plastic trash in the oceans could total 170 million tons. Sometimes it clusters together. Scientists have identified five garbage patches, gargantuan corrals of debris formed by circular ocean currents. One, the so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch, could be as large as Texas. But do not, van Sebille warns, picture masses of gar-

NEW DELHI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; For years along the Cornish coast of Britain, Atlantic Ocean currents have carried thousands of Lego pieces onto the beaches. In Kenya, cheap flip-flop sandals are churned relentlessly in the Indian Ocean surf, until finally being spit out onto the sand. In Bangladesh, fishermen are haunted by floating corpses that the Bay of Bengal sometimes puts in their path. And now, perhaps, the oceans have revealed something else: parts of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the jetliner that vanished 17 months ago with 239 people on board. Experts believe it crashed into the vast emptiness of the Indian Ocean, somewhere between Africa and Australia. While some wreckage presumably sank, some is also thought to have joined the millions of tons of oceanic debris â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from Legos accidentally spilled from cargo ships to abandoned fishing nets to industrial trash â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that can spend years being carried by the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currents, sometimes turning up thousands of miles away from where they entered the water. So there was little surprise among oceanographers when part of a jetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wing, suspected wreckage from the vanished Boeing 777, was found two weeks ago along the shores of Reunion, a French island off the African coast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ocean is not a bathtub. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in constant motion,â&#x20AC;? said Erik van Sebille, an oceanographer with the Grantham Institute at Imperial College London who has spent years studying how currents carry debris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the surface itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this giant, churning machine that moves things from A to B,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connecting all the areas of the globe.â&#x20AC;? Often, that giant churning machine also moves in fairly predictable ways, with currents and winds moving in predictable directions and speeds. Malaysian investigators were also dispatched this week to the Maldives, a South Asian archipelago nation, to examine debris that had recently washed ashore there. But on Friday the country expressed pessimism that it was related to the plane. Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said most of the Maldives items examined â&#x20AC;&#x153;are not related to MH370 and they are not plane material.â&#x20AC;? He did not say whether every piece of debris had been ruled out. Charitha Pattiaratchi, an oceanographer at the University of Western Australia, used computer modeling last year to predict that debris from Flight 370 might end up somewhere near Reunion, or nearby Madagascar, about now. But he said that if the wing part found on Reunion turns out to be from Flight 370 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; French investigators are still examining it, though Malaysian officials have said it definitively came from the disappeared jet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; then he doubts the debris found in the Maldives is also from the jetliner. Because the Maldives lie north of the equator and Reunion Island is to the south, finding wreckage in both spots is highly unlikely, he said. Ocean currents and winds make it extremely difficult for flotsam to cross the equator. Plus, Pattiaratchi adds, it would be exceedingly difficult for any Flight 370 debris to have ended up in the Maldives at all by now. To reach there, the wreckage would have had to float west from the current search area off Australia and toward Africa, then turn north and travel along the African coast past Somalia and into the Arabian Sea, before turning south and east toward the Maldives. That would be a massive journey to make in just 17 months; debris found on Reunion, in contrast, could have traveled in a relatively simple counterclockwise arc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it is from MH370, then thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very hard thing to explain. Not entirely impossible, because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about nature,â&#x20AC;? he said. Flight 370 disappeared March 8, 2014, on its way from

bage floating on the surface of the water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are not islands of trash. There are no big pieces that you can stand on, even in the garbage patches,â&#x20AC;? he said. Instead, those millions of tons of plastic quickly disappear from view, reduced to a near-invisible cloud that floats just beneath the surface. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After a few months, the sea and sun have completely broken down the plastic into a confetti of tiny, tiny pieces,â&#x20AC;? he said. The small size, he notes, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make them environmentally friendly. The minus-

cule particles can be even more dangerous, he said, because they can easily enter the food chain after being eaten by small fish, and are extremely difficult to clean up. In Kenya, Julie Church has found a use for some flotsam. The marine conservationist, inspired by village children who turn beach debris into toys, created a company that transforms castoff sandals into bright sculptures and playthings. Today, Ocean Sole recycles an average of 2,200 pounds of flip-flops each week.

Poll: Terror tops foreign policy concerns should use both economic and diplomatic power to achieve those goals.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Few Americans want to see the United States take a more active approach to foreign policy, but the vast majority thinks it may be appropriate to take military action to achieve at least some goals in international affairs, according to a new poll conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Within the Republican Party, there is a significant divide between those who desire a more active and a more passive foreign policy. Here are some things to know about public opinion on foreign policy:

DIPLOMACY, ECONOMIC ACTION PREFERRED FOR OTHER GOALS Most Americans say the U.S. should not use military force to promote democracy or human rights in other countries or to advance U.S. economic interests. To achieve these goals, Americans would rather use diplomatic or economic pressure. Diplomacy is favored by 9 in 10 to protect U.S. economic interests, by 8 in 10 to defend human rights in other countries and by 7 in 10 to promote democracy in other countries. Economic pressure is supported by about 8 in 10 to protect the country’s economic interests, by 7 in 10 to promote and protect human rights and by just under half to promote democracy in other countries.

LITTLE APPETITE FOR INTERVENTION Americans overall are more likely to say that the U.S. should take a less active role than a more active one in world affairs, 38 percent to 28 percent, while 33 percent say its current role is about right. But the poll reveals a significant divide within the Republican Party, with 38 percent saying the United States should take a more active role in world affairs and 44 percent saying it should take a less active role. Just 17 percent fall in the middle, saying its current role is about right. Among Democrats, 23 percent prefer a more active role, 31 percent a less active role and 45 percent say its current role is about right.

TERRORISM, IMMIGRATION TOP MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES Asked to name the foreign policy issues that will be the most important to face the next president, the threat of terrorism and the Islamic State group emerged as the most prominent by far. More than half of Americans named them as top issues, including similar percentages of Democrats and Republicans. That includes 3 in 10 Americans who

Food banks struggle to meet demand DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Food banks across the country are seeing a rising demand for free groceries despite the growing economy, leading some charities to reduce the amount of food they offer each family. U.S. food banks are expected to give away about 4 billion pounds of food this year, more than double the amount provided a decade ago, according to Feeding America, the nation’s primary food bank network. The group gave away 3.8 billion in 2013. While reliance on food banks exploded when the economy tanked in 2008,

WHAT AMERICANS WANT TO HEAR FROM CANDIDATES

groups said demand continues to rise year after year, leaving them scrambling to find more food. “We get lines of people every day, starting at 6:30 in the morning,” said Sheila Moore, who oversees food distribution at The Storehouse, the largest pantry in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and one where food distribution has climbed 15 percent in the past year. Across the country in Gloucester, Massachusetts, The Open Door food pantry has given away 7.6 percent more food this summer than last, said the organization’s

executive director, Julie LaFontaine. “There’s always a real hustle and bustle,” she said. “People coming and going.” James Ziliak, who founded the Center for Poverty Research at the University of Kentucky, said the increased demand is surprising since the economy is growing and unemployment has dropped from 10 percent during the recession to 5.3 percent last month. However, many people who have found jobs are working only part-time or for low wages, and others have stopped looking for work.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Thai-owned cargo ship Silver Sea 2 is anchored off an Indonesian Navy base in Sabang, Aceh province, Indonesia, on Thursday. The ship, thought to be loaded with slave-caught fish, was seized by Indonesia’s navy after The Associated Press told authorities it had entered the country’s waters, officials said Thursday.

Indonesia nabs ship thought to carry slave-caught fish BY MARGIE MASON The Associated Press JAKARTA, Indonesia — A massive refrigerated cargo ship thought to be loaded with slave-caught fish was seized by Indonesia’s navy and brought to shore Thursday, after The Associated Press informed authorities it had entered the country’s waters. The Thai-owned Silver Sea 2 was located late Wednesday and escorted about 80 miles to a naval base in Sabang on the Indonesian archipelago’s northwestern tip, said Col. Sujatmiko, the local naval chief. The AP used a satellite beacon signal to trace its path from Papua New Guinea waters, where it was also being sought, into neighboring Indonesia. The navy then spent a week trying to catch it. The ship was close to leaving Indonesian waters by the time it was finally seized. “I’m so overwhelmed with happiness,” said Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti, adding it was difficult to find because the boat’s signal had a delay. “It was almost impossible, but we did it.” The Silver Sea 2 is the same 2,285ton vessel captured in a high-resolution satellite photo last month in Papua New Guinea showing its hold open and two fishing trawlers tethered to each side, loading fish. Analysts identified the smaller trawlers as

‘I’m so overwhelmed with happiness. It was almost impossible, but we did it.’ SUSI PUDJIASTUTI Fisheries Minister among those that fled the remote Indonesian island village of Benjina earlier this year, crewed by enslaved men from poor Southeast Asian countries who are routinely beaten and forced to work nearly nonstop with little or no pay. An AP investigation revealed their catch reached the supply chains of major U.S. food sellers, such as WalMart, Sysco and Kroger, and American pet food companies, including Fancy Feast, Meow Mix and Iams. The businesses have all said they strongly condemn labor abuse and vowed to take steps to prevent it. Indonesia freed hundreds of men earlier this year after the AP exposed they were trapped — including some locked in a cage — on Benjina. But 34 boats loaded with slaves escaped before authorities arrived. They remain missing. Seven arrests have been made in Indonesia and two in Thailand related to the case. Panya Luangsomboon, owner of Sil-

ver Sea Reefer Co., which owns several refrigerated cargo ships in Thailand, said Friday the company has done nothing illegal and has asked Thai officials for help in getting the Silver Sea 2 back. “We have received numerous calls from Thai agencies ... asking about this, and basically we said we have never done anything like it,” company manager Venus Pornpasert said Thursday of allegations of human trafficking and illegal fishing. Pornpasert added that all of the ships’ crews are Thai nationals and certified by the International Maritime Organization. However, enslaved workers who recently returned home from Papua New Guinea to Myanmar said they had regularly loaded fish onto Silver Sea cargo ships, which ferried the catch back to Thailand. Burmese slaves rescued from Benjina, among hundreds interviewed by the AP in person or in writing, also said they had been trafficked in Thailand and brought to fish in Indonesia aboard the Silver Sea 2. And late last year, AP journalists saw slave-caught fish in Benjina being loaded onto another reefer owned by Silver Sea. The Indonesian navy has so far declined to comment on the crew found aboard the captured vessel. Pudjiastuti, who put a moratorium on all foreign boats last year to crack

down on rampant poaching, said the Silver Sea 2 captain will be questioned, and an investigation will be launched into suspected human trafficking, transport of illegally caught fish and transshipment, which involves offloading fish at sea. It allows fishermen to work for months without returning to port, making it easier for their captains to exploit them. “Indonesia’s action here is significant as it demonstrates a commitment to enforcing the actions of vessels within their waters, regardless of whether they are fishing illegally or trafficking labor,” said Tobias Aguirre, executive director of California-based nonprofit Fishwise, which advocates for sustainable, slave-free seafood. Authorities in Papua New Guinea had also been searching for the boat. They instead seized another Thaiowned fish cargo ship, the Blissful Reefer, two weeks ago. Two trafficked Burmese and six Cambodians were found on board. Indonesian police also are investigating trafficking claims involving 45 Burmese fishermen who were rescued from a Jakarta hotel last week. Arie Dharmanto, who heads the anti-human trafficking unit of the National Police, said the men had fake documents identifying themselves as Thai and that officials from two Indonesian companies have been questioned about their role.

MORRIS FROM PAGE A1 Kingstree, was both nervous and excited about being on her own for the first time but said she was ready to learn. Margie Grayson, Sanders’ mother, said she wants her daughter to have fun while in college but to also remember why she is there. “Put God first, and everything else will work out,” she said. Sanders’ roommate Bresia Vaughn, 18, of Blythewood, said she is looking forward to the freedom she will have in college. Her mother, Sheila Vaughn, is an alumna of Mor-

ris College, class of ‘91. Sheila said she is not worried about her daughter being on her own for the first time because Morris is a great school with a great support system. She said her daughter can expect to make life-long friends while in college. Anthony Williams, 18, from Baltimore, Maryland, said he is looking forward to the increased amount of free time and freedom while in college. Though she is not worried about her son being several states away, Williams’ mother, LaShawn Scroggins, does want her son to know the difference between acquaintances and friends. The Rev.

Because of his injuries and insomnia, he is on disability and finding a job is difficult. He makes about five or six models a week, depending on the detail of the work, he said. Besides military vehicles, Brown has also made some model military aircraft. The models range in price from $75 to $275. “The more I can sell, the more I can donate,” he said. Brown has an assistant, Matthew Fridley, who volunteers his time to help

him make the models. Fridley is on active duty with the Third Army stationed at Shaw Air Force Base. Customers range from active duty military, stationed as far away as South Korea, to those who just have an interest in the vehicles. He donates between 30 to 40 percent of the models he makes and finds veterans to give to through other veterans, military personnel, their family members and social media. “The reaction and support I’ve received is amazing,” he said. “Sometimes I get phone calls from veterans in the middle of the night who just share their stories with me.” Brown can be reached through his Facebook page, “Trucks For Vets and Soldiers” or www.facebook. comTrucks4VetSoldiers?fref =ts or email at bbrownbrick1@hotmail.com.

Now prevalent disease was named by a Sumterite

t has been 10 days since August 6, when I sat alone and watched both the Republican presidential debates in their entirety. I turned off the TV before the usual chattering, spin and analysis started. That’s an old journalistic habit of mine when it comes to watching live debates and political speeches. I try to digest something thoughtfully before spouting off about it with half-baked opinions likely based on someone else’s interpretation. It’s an attempt, however simple, to form an objective opinion. You have to be ever mindful of people who suffer from the condition my late grandfather Hubert Osteen referred to as “Diarrhea of the Mouth and Constipation of the Brain.” That expression has always resonated with me. The origin is unclear based on my advanced Google research, so I’m going to make the claim that Grandaddy ac-

COMMENTARY tually invented it. I can’t find anyone taking credit for it and “Senior” roamed the earth from 1904 until 1987, so it’s entirely plausible. I’m not going to copyright it, but ask that you please give proper attribution when you use it. Just say, “It was Big Hubert Osteen Sr. of Sumter who first used that phrase.” Graham And speaking of Osteen “Diarrhea of the Mouth and Constipation of the Brain,” I truly understand the Donald Trump mania. He’s the poster child for Grandaddy’s disease, but it’s entertaining and refreshing in that American Rebel sort of way.

I also agree with Daniel Henninger of The Wall Street Journal, who wrote this week that Trump will never be president but could ultimately be the kingmaker for the eventual GOP candidate if he doesn’t pull a Ross Perot and run as an independent. If you asked me to guess right now which GOP candidate has the potential to appeal to the broadest range of voters and win, I’d say Gov. John Kasich of Ohio. I’ve followed Kasich for a long time and have always enjoyed his appearances on political news shows. There’s something about him that seems right for the times we’re in and the uncertainties we face. He’s tough, decisive and has consistently taken on those in his own party who may never recognize how the world has changed in the past 8 years. He has a great track record as governor and represents a new

sort of compassionate conservatism that involves working aggressively to help the poor and disenfranchised. Make Carly Fiorina his running mate and the GOP would have an appealing ticket for a wide range of voters across the country. Of course I’m just another 50-something white guy with an occasional opinion or two, so what do I know? Here’s what I do know, and I’ll put it in the form of a prayer since it’s Sunday: God, this is Graham. I pray that you spare us from any more Clintons in the White House. Thank you, as always, for everything. Amen. Graham Osteen is Editor-At-Large of The Item. He can be reached at graham@theitem.com. Follow him on Twitter @GrahamOsteen, or visit www.grahamosteen.com.

Encrusted with subsidies

ou probably never knew of the federal funding of museums commemorating America’s long-gone whaling industry. The funding existed for nearly nine years, until fiscal 2011, because almost no one knew about it. A mohair subsidy continues six decades after it was deemed a military necessity in the context of the Cold War. The subsidy survives because its beneficiaries are too George clever to call Will attention to it by proclaiming it necessary, which of course it isn’t. To understand these two matters is to understand how American government functions. And why James Madison, whose flinty realism is often called pessimism, was too optimistic. Federal funding went to whaling museums in three states from which whalers went to sea (Massachusetts, Alaska and Hawaii) and in Mississippi, which was not a home of whalers but is the home of Republican Sen. Thad Cochran, an Appropriations Committee titan. The whaling program, which cost about $9 million in its last year, was administered by the Department of Education. It objected to doing this, which is one reason the funding ended: Government changed because part of it was annoyed. Also, a congressman publicized the subsidy. The $9 million was a piddling smidgen of a fraction of the federal budget, as is the $5 million wool and mohair subsidy. It was smuggled into the 1954 National Wool Act, which was supposed to stimulate wool production, lest we run short when next we need 12 million uniforms for a two-front world war. Mohair had nothing to do with this supposed military necessity, but mohair producers wanted a seat on the gravy train. Their subsidy became briefly notorious and briefly died (it was resuscitated when no one was any longer paying attention) after Jonathan Rauch called attention to it in his 1994 book “Demosclerosis.” Rauch’s neologism describes government that is resistant to change because it is solicitous toward many minor but attentive factions. These clients thrive in obscurity because of the law that governs much of government, the law of dispersed costs and concentrated benefits. Taxpayers do not notice, unless someone like Rauch tells them, the costs of subsidizing whaling museums or mohair, but the subsidies mean much to those who run the museums or produce the mohair. Similarly, consumers do not notice the cost of sugar import quotas added to

COMMENTARY the sugar they consume, quotas that substantially enrich sugar producers. And so on and on. This is why minorities constantly manage to milk money from majorities, which is not how Madison thought things would work. Greg Weiner, an Assumption College political scientist, notes that in Federalist Paper 10 Madison confidently says minority factions will be defeated by “the republican principle,” which enables the majority to trounce the minority “by regular vote.” But what if, as usually happens, there is in no meaningful sense a “regular vote” on minority appetites? The whalingprogram subsidy was born as a barnacle on the 2001 No Child Left Behind education bill. There was no majority-minority conflict about it because only the wee minority of whaling enthusiasts and a few solicitous legislators were paying attention. Madison counted on conflict, but gargantuan government is, because of its jungle-like sprawl, mostly opaque. So there is what Weiner calls “dissipation of conflict.” And Weiner suggests that this, which enables minorities to feed off the inattentive majority, is the result of what Madison thought would inhibit abusive majorities — the size of what Madison called an “extensive” republic. His revolution in democratic theory was this: Hitherto, it had been thought that if democracy were at all feasible, it would be so only in small polities. Factions were considered inimical to healthy democracies, and small, homogenous societies would have fewer factions. So, Madison favored an extensive republic because it would have a saving multiplicity of factions. They would save us from tyrannical majorities because all majorities would be impermanent coalitions of minorities. For a century now, Weiner writes, the national government has been hyperactive in distributing economic advantages to attentive but inconspicuous factions. This will not stop. Why? James Joyce said his readers should devote their entire lives to understanding his fiction (not that a lifetime is long enough to fathom “Finnegans Wake”). If Americans devoted their lives to mastering the federal budget’s minutiae, gargantuan government might behave better. But what economists call the “information costs” of such mastery would be much higher than the costs of just paying the hundreds of billions that the subsidies cost. There is a name for what this fact produces: demosclerosis. George Will’s email address is georgewill@washpost.com. © 2015, Washington Post Writers Group

August is time to think

t is that sane and glorious time when the nation’s capital dispenses its human cargo to places of origin and locations of respite. “I don’t know why everyone leaves,” I remarked to my neighbor. “There’s so much great parking.” (Don’t muddle; it’s a joke.) There is, indeed, great parking, as well as less traffic. With the political contingent largely gone, the Hill is as quiet as a morning after and “normal” people are dining out. Most awesome: One has time to think. August, often viewed as the end of things — Kathleen summer, Parker vacation, camp and children underfoot — marks for Washingtonians the arrival of peace. The usual, rapid chatter becomes a low, slow hum. Fewer sirens stab the air and the ever-present helicopters finally buzz off. In this near-sudden silence, one realizes that Washington is more often Fallujah than Paris — a war zone where armies of reporters, pundits and politicos wage war with words in theaters of green rooms and bunkers of makeup. What’s that sound? Ah, cicadas. Would that Washington would burrow beneath the toil of urgent matters and keep quiet for years at a time. August is good for dreaming, too. Look at me. I buried the lede and almost forgot everyone’s favorite part of all: Journalists leave town, too. When the three branches of government shutter the windows and lock the doors,

COMMENTARY what’s left to do? (The car-alarm coverage of Donald Trump may provide a hint.) Alas, where Trump goes, the media go. Rumor has it he’s heading to Iowa so it’s off to the Hawkeye State we go. Friday morning, “Meet the Press’” Chuck Todd was reporting from the Iowa State Fairgrounds in a groundhoggian image of what these days we call “authentic.” The real people of America will soon enough let us know what they think of all this and that. Personally, I wonder what they think of all those Trump buses stationed in Wal-Mart parking lots around the state — sans The Donald? For Trump, you see, Being There isn’t actually required. The name is all. Look, Trump’s in town! Even when he’s not, really. When he does materialize, equal parts Liberace and P.T. Barnum, folks will show up if only to lay eyes on the real McCoy. Will Trump press the flesh? What a disgusting thought for a reputed germaphobe. Will he kiss babies, those messy little bundles of orificial emissions? Such are the musings of an August morn — and a clear indication that my own vacation begins in just a few sentences more. For your indulgence and patience, I will share a secret I’ve kept mostly to myself the past year or so. It has to do with my absence for several months last summer and fall, which some of you may have noticed. If not, you are forgiven. My syndicate issued an explanation to my then-500 papers that I’d had an accident and would be taking a break to recover. I wasn’t eager to share the details for reasons

that will become apparent. Basically, I slipped and fell down a steep staircase in May 2014, which resulted in a concussion — more aptly named a traumatic brain injury — that put me out of work and circulation. It was, indeed, traumatic, as well as terrifying. Thanks to months of therapy and many helping hands, it is over. My mentioning it now has to do with two things: One, I’m back to my old self, more or less. My goal was to return to two columns a week and to reappear on news shows before I admitted that for a long time I didn’t know who I was. My editors, Alan Shearer with the Washington Post Writers Group, and Fred Hiatt, editorial page editor of the Washington Post, were both anchor and sail, keeping the boat afloat and buoying my spirits until the brain had finished its business. Two, I’m about to enjoy time off that I can consciously experience. Last year, I had bought a book titled “No Time to Think.” And then suddenly I could neither read nor think. This time, I can and shall do both. I will also continue work on a book I’m writing about what happened to me. My hope is that others might benefit from what I experienced and from what I learned about friends and family, seasons and time, rhythms and essence. It was quite a trip, about which more to come — in good time. Meanwhile, enjoy the cicadas — because you can.

PRISONS FROM PAGE A1 detainees have been cleared for release, but Defense Secretary Ash Carter and his predecessors have made it clear they will not release any detainees until they have all the needed security assurances. The remaining 64 have been deemed too dangerous to be released. The latest surveys come a week after a draft Pentagon plan to provide potential locations for the detainees was stymied when the administration said the Thomson Correctional Center in Illinois was off the table, according to officials. The draft plan had focused largely on Thomson and Charleston, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. The officials said that early versions of the Pentagon report had made it clear that Thomson and Charleston were the most viable choices based on costs and the timeline needed to renovate the facilities to the maximum security levels required. Officials have acknowledged, however, that there were divisions within the Pentagon and across the administration about which military and federal facilities to highlight and how many options to assess and include in the report. At the Aspen Institute’s recent na-

Dawn arrives at the now closed Camp X-Ray, which was used as the first detention facility for al-Qaida and Taliban militants who were captured after the Sept. 11 attacks at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba, in November 2013. tional security conference in Colorado, Lisa Monaco, Obama’s homeland security adviser, said the administration wants to move out the 52 detainees. But, she added, “That doesn’t mean just unlocking the door and having someone go willy-nilly to another country. ... It means a painstaking establishment of security protocols that would govern the transfer of that individual.”

Davis said that there are other sites, in addition to those in Kansas and South Carolina, that the team will visit. Although previous surveys and reviews have been done of many of the prison facilities, Davis said the latest visits are aimed at getting consistent evaluations and establishing a baseline of information. He said the assessments will cover a range of factors, including the costs as-

A11

sociated with holding the additional detainees, holding the military trials, engineering and construction, force protection, housing for troops and security. Transportation and other operating issues also are factors. The assessments, he said, will help determine which facilities can be considered potential candidates to house the detainees. While the team is looking first at some military detention centers, the U.S. Bureau of Prisons is also identifying potential civilian facilities. Congressional opposition has been fierce. Both the House and Senate versions of the 2016 defense policy bill maintain prohibitions on transferring detainees to U.S. facilities. The Senate legislation, however, states that the restrictions could be lifted if the White House submits a plan to close the facility and the plan is approved by Congress. House and Senate negotiators are working to reconcile the two bills. Lawmakers from Kansas on Friday quickly denounced the survey. In a letter to Carter, Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., said he has consistently objected “to the idea of moving these terrorists to the mainland, and more especially to Kansas. I will continue to be a vocal and staunch advocate against closing our current detainment facilities due to the high security risks, and economic waste doing so would cost the American public.”

Following the football fever Sumter Touchdown Club in search of members with 1st meeting Sept. 4 BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER michaelc@theitem.com Former Citadel football and baseball player and local sports radio broadcaster Lee Glaze can’t remember a time when he saw so much coaching turnover in high school football in the area. He thinks that will add to the interest for high school football and the Sumter Touchdown Club. “I think the anticipation is really high for a lot of people,” said Glaze, a member of the Touchdown Club’s board of directors. “This year we’ve got a lot (of new coaches), and it will give them the opportunity to get acclimated to the football community here in this town, and the people that love and support them.” The Sumter Touchdown Club presented by FTC Now has been involved in the local community and football programs for nearly 25 years and gives members access to support area teams. In fact, the TD Club has given out five $500 scholarships each of the past two years. “To me, it’s the best way to support high school football in the area because we’re nondiscriminatory,” Glaze said. “We included everybody and we celebrate the successes of every high school program in the area. It’s the best way we’ve been able to give back to the programs, coaches and

Quarterbacks struggle in Gamecocks scrimmage

Swinney: Mistakes have to be corrected

BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press COLUMBIA — If Steve Spurrier expected to hone in on a starting quarterback Saturday, South Carolina’s scrimmage barely helped. None of the team’s four passers vying for the starting job stood out in a poor overall performance. Spurrier said quarterbacks Connor Mitch, Perry Orth, Michael Scarnecchia and Lorenzo Nunez were slow and hesitant to fire balls into receivers.

“We didn’t have a ‘best’ quarterback,” Spurrier said when asked if any of his passers had an edge. “You see any best ones?” SPURRIER None of the quarterbacks were available to media after the scrimmage. It was easy to understand Spurrier’s disappointment for any of the 2,500 or so who turned out for the

FROM STAFF REPORTS CLEMSON — Clemson held its first full-scale football scrimmage of the preseason in Memorial Stadium on Saturday, and while there were many outstanding performances, Tiger head coach Dabo Swinney said there are some SWINNEY mistakes that have to be corrected. “We had way too many critical penalties today,” said Swinney, whose team worked for over two hours and ran over 90 plays from

scrimmage. “Those are the things that get you beat. Our kickers were inconsistent today, which was disappointing because you can see they’re very capable in practice. We have a lot of work to do to be ready in front of over 80,000 fans. We’ve got three weeks to be ready to play, and we’ll be ready when it comes time. “Marcus Edmond made a great play on a pick-six(interception), where he jumped the receiver’s route.

Bradley Jr.’ s career day leads 22-10 rout of Seattle BOSTON — Jackie Bradley Jr. hit two homers and three doubles to drive in seven runs as the Boston Red Sox once again battered Seattle, roughing up Felix Hernandez and the Mariners 22-10 Saturday. At 25, Bradley became the youngest player to get five extra-base hits in a game, and the first to do it for the Red Sox. The Red Sox broke loose for the second straight day after manager John Farrell took a medical leave for the rest of the season to deal with lymphoma. Boston got 26 hits in the highest-scoring game ever against the Mariners. Pablo Sandoval and Alejandro De Aza homered, and David Ortiz and Blake Swihart each had three RBIs. YANKEES 4 BLUE JAYS 1

Sam leaves CFL’s Alouettes again MONTREAL — Michael Sam is stepping away from pro football. Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by the NFL, has told the Canadian Football League’s Montreal Alouettes that he is leaving the team. The Alouettes confirmed in a release that Sam has left the club for “personal reasons” and that he has been added to the team’s suspended list. He did not play in Montreal’s home loss to Edmonton on Thursday night, with the team citing a sore back. He made his CFL debut the previous week. The 25-year-old defensive SAM end, the 2013 Southeastern Conference defensive player of the year at Missouri, failed to record a tackle in Montreal’s loss to Ottawa. Sam agreed to a two-year deal with the Alouettes this summer. He left training camp June 12, citing personal reasons, and sat out the team’s first five games.

Tiger misses third straight cut in major at PGA Championship BY DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jordan Spieth hits a shot on the second hole during the third round of the PGA Championship on Saturday at Whistling Straits in Sheboygan, Wis. Spieth is eyeing a run at golf’s final major of the year after shooting a 5-under 65 to pull within two shots of leader Jason Day.

PGA FROM PAGE B1 (1953) as the only players to win three majors in one year, and Spieth hopes to rely on his experience of having already won the Masters and U.S. Open this year. Day showed plenty of moxie, though. After making a double bogey that cut his lead to one shot, and then failing to birdie the par-5 16th, he poured in a 25-foot birdie putt and pumped both arms to show how much it meant. “One more day left,” Day said before heading off to the practice range before the sun set on this wild day along Lake Michigan. “I got to keep pushing forward, keep grinding, keep doing the best I can out there and see how it goes tomorrow.” Saturday featured abundant sunshine and endless action, starting in the dead calm of the morning when Matt Jones finished the storm-delayed second round with two birdies for a two-shot lead. In the hunt at a major for the first time, Jones kept his cool even when his drive landed in a hospitality tent left of the ninth fairway and he chose to play off the blue carpet, over the white fence and just off the green. But he imploded at the end, dropping four shots over the last four holes for a 73. Day looked like he was headed that direction. One moment it looked as though the 27-year-old Australian was pulling away. The next minute he was pulling himself together. He played a six-hole stretch around the turn in 6 under, which included a 15-foot eagle at No. 11 for his first lead of the round. When he stuffed another approach close on the 14th hole for birdie, he was 16 under. One swing changed everything. He tugged a 5-iron into a bunker left of the 15th green and was surprised by the amount of sand. The first shot didn’t make it up the slope and rolled back into the sand, and Day wound up with a double bogey right about the time Spieth shifted into another gear. Spieth was trying to stay close enough to have a chance on Sunday. The volunteers were slow to post Day’s double bogey on the large leaderboard on the 18th green, which Spieth couldn’t help but notice as he lined up his 7-foot putt. “I saw Jason was at 16 under and I said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me. When is he going to slow down?’” Spieth said. “I saw that he was 16 under

with four holes to go, thinking he could get to 17 (under pretty easily). I need to make this to have a chance within four of the lead. And then I think he’s dropped a couple of shots since then. But I did all I could do to finish off the round.” Day did his part, even after failing to make birdie on the par-5 16th. Instead of getting down, he hit 4-iron into 25 feet on the 17th hole and rolled in the birdie. He was at 15-under 201. This was hardly a twoman race. Branden Grace of South Africa, tied for the lead with three holes to play in the U.S. Open when he hit a tee shot outof-bounds onto the train tracks at Chambers Bay, holed a bunker shot for birdie on the 18th hole for a 64 to finish three shots behind. “It’s another chance,” Grace said. “This is what we all play for.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Tiger Woods made another early exit from a major championship on Saturday and had no idea where he was headed. He playfully threw out one possibility. “I’m going to go home and watch the leaders tee off and play,” he said. “Actually, I’ll go to my sports bar, how about that?” Woods, who closed out a 73 and missed the cut at the PGA Championship, has a restaurant in South Florida that opened at the start of the week. He wasn’t planning on being home this early, though it wasn’t a surprise considering how his season has gone. He now has missed the cut in three straight majors, and four of his last five. He has failed to break par in his last seven rounds at the majors, the longest such streak of his career. His scoring average in the majors this year was 73.8. The only question when he left Whistling Straits was where he would show up next. Woods caused a stir Friday night when he committed to the Wyndham Championship next week in North Carolina, a tournament he has never played. It’s the final event before the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs. Only the top 125 qualify, and Woods was at No. 186 going into the PGA Championship. Mathematically, he would have to finish alone in second at the Wyndham to get into the playoffs and extend his season. More likely, he would have to win. And that seems like a tall order for someone who hasn’t come close to contention in two years. And he might not even play. The deadline to enter was Friday evening. “I’m just going to sit back and I’ll go through it with my team. We’ll talk about it, what I need to do and see if that’s the right move or not,” Woods said. “We’ll decide next couple of days.” Tournament director Mark Brazil braced for that possibility Friday evening when he said he has been in touch with Woods’ agent “and un-

derstand that Tiger has entered the field to keep his options open.” Otherwise, Woods’ season is over, even if he doesn’t look at it that way. “It’s not really about the season. It’s about the year,” Woods said. “I haven’t quite come to grips with the whole non-calendar season yet, this whole wraparound thing. So for me, I still consider it a year. And I still have plenty of golf to be played for the rest of the year ... on a global level.” It wasn’t clear what he meant by global. Woods is expected to start the 2015-16 season at the Frys. com Open in October in Napa, California. He is playing an exhibition with Matt Kuchar in Mexico. He hinted at a golf course design opportunity in India. And his Hero World Challenge is moving this year to The Bahamas. As for his game? Woods said it was building, and that he found a key to his putting Saturday morning “but the damage had already been done.” In 10 events this year, Woods missed the cut in four of them and withdrew from another. He had three rounds in the 80s. His best finish was a tie for 17th at the Masters, a remarkable effort coming off a two-month break to fix a short game that turned shockingly bad in Phoenix and San Diego. His best week was The Greenbrier Classic. While he tied for 32nd, he finished six shots out of the lead. In the other four events where he made the cut, he was no closer than 10 shots. “The first two were not very good at all,” Woods said in describing the start to his season. “Hence, took the break to try and figure it out, and came back at Augusta and had my short game back. Then I started getting my ball striking in order, but then I lost my putting. I hit too many balls and neglected my chipping, because I thought that was sound again. And then I just need to do both at the same time. I just haven’t done that.” It adds up to the worst injury-free season of his career, if his season is over.

major championship and we’re all here.” Justin Rose also was three shots behind, even with a double bogey on the fourth hole for the second straight day. Rose also missed the 18th and made bogey, giving him one more shot he just make up against Day. Still in the mix was Martin Kaymer, who had a 65 and was four shots behind. Kaymer won the PGA at Whistling Straits five years ago. Day already has two wins this year and plenty of heartache in the majors. He was in a four-way tie for the lead at Chambers Bay while coping with vertigo symptoms, and he faded on the last day. A month ago, he needed birdie on the last hole at St. Andrews to get into a playoff at the British Open, and it stopped just short. “It’s just all been trending in the right direction,” he said Saturday morning after finishing his second round.

NASCAR NOTEBOOK

Kyle Busch’s expectations modest after Saturday crash

NASCAR confirms use of standard 2015 rules package in Cup Chase

BY NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press

PURE MICHIGAN 400 LINEUP

BROOKLYN, Mich. — This was exactly the kind of scenario Kyle Busch needs to avoid. Busch slid onto the grass after coming through a turn during NASCAR Sprint Cup practice Saturday, damaging his No. 18 Toyota. He returned to the track in a backup car, but he now faces the prospect KYLE BUSCH of having to start from the back Sunday in the 400-mile, 200-lap race at Michigan International Speedway. “I was just running along, everything was fine and I was actually feeling pretty good about it,” Busch said. “Just started to get a little free up off of (turn) four.” Busch has won four times this year, but he’s only 30th in points because he missed 11 races after breaking his right leg and left foot in February. He needs to be in the top 30 at the end of the regular season to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup, and right now he’s six points ahead of 31st-place Cole Whitt. In other words, he needs to avoid major mistakes during these last four races of the regular season. Busch was sixth in qualifying Friday, but going to the backup car will force him to start from the back in Sunday’s race. “If top 20 is it, then that’s it,” Busch said. “Michigan is not a place that I had circled on the list to go win at, so let’s just make it through (Sunday) and carry on.” The day wasn’t a total loss for Busch. He won the Truck Series race at MIS shortly after wrecking his Cup car. There was damage to the front of Busch’s car after he went onto the grass. The Joe Gibbs Racing star has said in the past he thinks there’s no reason to have grass near racing surfaces, and he addressed the issue again Saturday — with a heavy dose of sarcasm. “I think at all these racetracks we need more grass — I think more grass would be beneficial,” Busch said. “I think we should have more grass and it should be taller.” Here are a few more things to watch in Sunday’s race: RULES PACKAGE

Drivers are dealing with a high-drag rules package for this race, and there’s been a lot of uncertainty over how the cars will handle in traffic. Now Busch will have a lot of cars to pass as he tries to improve his position. “We just learned about how the draft was and what kind of instances you could try to put yourself in and what kind of instances you didn’t want to be in,” Busch said. “Now that we have to start in the back, it’s a good thing we did that. It’s a good exercise and we’ll just have to adjust our car for being in the back of the field.” This rules package was also used at Indianapolis last month and drew criticism, but there’s some hope that it will work better at Michigan’s wider, faster track. This week, NASCAR mandated a dual outlet duct be used on the right-side window to help with

Busch’s crash was a rare misstep lately for Joe Gibbs Racing, which swept the top three spots in qualifying Friday. Matt Kenseth took the pole, followed by Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards. DOWN TO THE WIRE

Jeff Gordon has had decidedly mixed results so far in his farewell season. The retiring star has no wins and is 12th in the standings. A faulty brake line led to a 41stplace finish last weekend at Watkins Glen. He was third at Pocono the previous weekend, but the week before that he finished 42nd at Indianapolis. Gordon is one of several big-name drivers still without a win with four races remaining before the Chase. Ryan Newman, Clint Bowyer, Kasey Kahne and Greg Biffle are among the others. BETTER WEATHER

Kurt Busch won the June race at Michigan, but it was shortened because of rain. The forecast is for a sunny day Sunday with temperatures in the 80s.

GAMECOCKS FROM PAGE B1 hour-long session at Williams-Brice Stadium. Third-year sophomore Connor Mitch seemed the heir apparent to last year’s single-season passing yardage record setter Dylan Thompson. But Mitch completed just five of 11 passes for 42 yards. He also had an interception in red zone work. Junior Perry Orth was 3 of 6 for 42 yards and an interception. Second-year freshman Michael Scarnecchia completed 11 of 14 throws for 81 yards while true freshman Lorenzo Nunez was 5 of 8 for 25 yards and an interception. The only touchdown was a 25-yard completion from Orth to tailback Shon Carson. “The quarterbacks were a little shaky at times, but it’s just practice,” Spurrier said. “Hopefully, we can continue on and find out who the best is.” That deadline is approaching quickly. The Gamecocks open the season Sept. 3 against North Carolina in Charlotte, North Carolina. “Obviously, we can’t play four of them like we’ve been doing,” Spurrier said. The four quarterbacks have a combined eight passes in college ball. Spurrier and his offensive staff have charted about every move

of the quartet during practices, looking for a starter. Now, Spurrier might stretch out the decision, maybe up until kickoff at Bank of America Stadium. The last time South Carolina played there to open the 2011 season, Spurrier let little used sophomore Connor Shaw start the game with East Carolina before calling on expected starter Stephen Garcia later on. While Shaw struggled in that start, he quickly found his footing and let the Gamecocks to three straight 11-2 seasons from 2011-13. Only the most optimistic in the stands had thoughts of future success after this scrimmage. Mitch’s interception came in a goal line sequence when he was pressured out of the pocket and threw the ball only to where linebacker T.J. Gurley could grab it. Orth was sacked on his first snap and then picked off by cornerback Chris Lammons two plays later. The crowd buzzed when the 6-foot-3 Nunez, a dualthreat performer from Kennesaw, Georgia, hit the field for the first time. He, too, struggled to move the ball and was intercepted by cornerback Al Harris Jr. “We’ve got some work to do,” said Brandon Wilds, a fifth-year senior running back who led the ground

game with 28 yards on two carries. Scarnecchia was the most consistent South Carolina quarterback, leading a long, mid-scrimmage sequence where he had stretches of five and four straight completions. That series bogged down as well, ending with a 30-yard field goal by reliable kicker Elliott Fry. “Scarnecchia did a few good things here and there,” Spurrier said. The South Carolina offense was not at its full complement. Receiver Pharoh Cooper, a 1,000-yard pass catcher last season, was only back to handle one punt. Senior Jerrell Adams, the only returning tight end with experience, also spent much of the session on the sidelines. Spurrier likes to test his younger players in scrimmages with people in the stands. It did not go well on the offensive side. The coach said too many receivers lined up incorrectly, leading to several false start penalties. South Carolina rushers did not make defenders miss, Spurrier said. And when receivers would break free in the open field, the Gamecocks behind center could not connect. “We’ll look at the tape,” Spurrier said. “And try and make some good, realistic decisions.”

BY REID SPENCER NASCAR Wire Service BROOKLYN, Mich.—When the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup starts on Sept. 20 at Chicagoland Speedway, drivers and crew chiefs won’t have to worry about changing aerodynamic pages and different rules for different race tracks. The same rules in force at open-motor tracks at the start of the 2015 season will remain in place throughout the Chase, Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer, told reporters on Friday night at Michigan International Speedway, the site of Sunday’s Pure Michigan 400 (2:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN). “We’re going to stay with the 2015 package,” O’Donnell confirmed after a meeting at MIS in which drivers and crew chief were given the same news. “We’ve seen some good things with that package. “A lot of work has been done by the race teams already leading up to the final 10 races, and we feel like that’s the best decision for the sport.” In the summer months, NASCAR has experimented with different aerodynamic packages, introducing a lowdownforce configuration with a shorter rear spoiler at Kentucky Speedway and a higherdrag package with a taller spoiler at Indianapolis. Sprint Cup Series cars are racing with the high-drag package this weekend at Michigan, and the low-downforce setup will return at Darlington in early September, but NASCAR is using those races to inform decisions on 2016 rules, not with an eye to changing packages for the 10race Chase playoffs. “I think it’s important to go back and look at what our original plan was, and that was Kentucky, Michigan and Darlington,” O’Donnell said. “Then we looked at Indianapolis, too, to try to apply the Michigan package. So our messaging all along was that we had the intention of keeping the Chase where it was with the 2015 rules package. “In some of the dialogue, some of the folks wanted to push forward potentially, but when we looked at all the things that have been done, the preparation that’s been done, the amount of work our industry has put into these races, which we truly appreciate, we think we’re going to have the best racing for the fans with the 2015 package for

all 10 races.” At Talladega, however, where restrictor plates are used to lower horsepower significantly, there may be a change from the competition package. That’s a reaction to the violent crash that sent Austin Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet into the frontstretch fence on the final lap of the Daytona race in July. “There probably will be (changes to the Talladega rules),” O’Donnell said. “We’re still having some discussion with the industry heading into Talladega. Have not settled on anything yet, but I think you can anticipate something.” CRASH IN PRACTICE SENDS KYLE BUSCH TO BACKUP CAR

Fighting a loose-handling No. 18 Toyota, Kyle Busch spun off Turn 4 during final NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice and slid through the infield grass, destroying the front end of his car. Busch’s team immediately rolled out a backup car, and the driver was quickly up to speed, posting the ninth fastest lap in Happy Hour. But the car change means Busch will have to give up his sixth-place starting position and drop to the rear for the start of Sunday’s Pure Michigan 400. “I was just running along, everything was fine, and I was actually feeling pretty good about it,” Busch said. “Just started to get a little free up off of (Turn) 4. “It started stepping out like it did here in the spring. I over-corrected and hit the wall, so this time around I just kind of made it keep rotating and head down towards the infield.” Long an outspoken proponent of eliminating infield grass at race tracks, Busch couldn’t resist a sarcastic quip after the accident. “I think at all these race tracks we need more grass—I think more grass would be beneficial,” Busch said. “I think we should have more grass, and it should be taller.” Fighting to remain in the top 30 in the series standings and retain his eligibility for the Chase, Busch will have to overcome his recent history at the two-mile track. In his last four starts at MIS, he has finished 31st, 41st, 39th and 43rd.

yards and Hunter Renfrow had two catches for 10 yards. Ten other players had a reception in the balanced attack. Three players on defense had interceptions. In addition to Edmond’s 50-yard interception return for a score, Dorian O’Daniel and Jalen Williams also had interceptions. Travis Blanks had a 50yard fumble return for a score, giving the defense two scores on the day. Williams, a freshman from Columbia, led all tacklers with eight tackles and three tackles for loss. He also had two sacks, broke up a pass and had an interception. Starting receiver Mike Williams missed the scrimmage recovering from a hamstring pull. He is expected to return next week. Running back Zak Brooks did not play in the scrimmage due to a shoulder injury.

Running back Johnson coming to take physical for Cardinals BY BOB BAUM The Associated Press

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Carolina Panthers quarterback Joe Webb (14) passes under pressure from Buffalo Bills linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali (75) during the Panthers’ 25-24 comeback victory on Friday, in Orchard Park, N.Y.

Webb rallies Panthers past Bills 25-24 BY JOHN WAWROW The Associated Press ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Third-string quarterback Joe Webb rallied the Carolina Panthers to a last-minute victory and spoiled Rex Ryan’s debut as Bills coach in both team’s preseason opener on Friday night. Webb’s short pass to running back Brandon Wegher led to a 42-yard touchdown with 54 seconds left. Webb then hit Paul Browning for a 2-point conversion to seal the victory, as coach Ron Rivera went for the win rather than have the game drag into overtime. Though the Bills’ thirdstring defense was on the field, it was still a disappointing loss for Ryan. He’s the defensive-minded specialist who was fired by the New York Jets and took over in Buffalo after Doug Marrone stepped down on Dec. 31. Buffalo was in a position to win after EJ Manuel put them ahead by hitting receiver Deonte Thompson in stride on a deep post pattern for a 51-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. Panthers starter Cam Newton went 5 of 10 for 83 yards, including a 2-yard touchdown pass to Kelvin Benjamin. For Buffalo, veteran Matt Cassel started and was efficient in completing 7 of 8 for 45 yards in two series. Observations from the game: ENEMKPALI’S DEBUT

Linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali made his Bills’ debut three days after being released by the Jets for a sucker punch that broke the jaw

of starting quarterback Geno Smith. Buffalo claimed Enemkpali off waivers on Wednesday, and he entered the game with the second stringers. He finished with two tackles, including one for a loss. Enemkpali was also penalized for being offside on a Panthers’ drive that ended with Graham Gano hitting a 47-yard field goal with 1 second left in the first half. QUARTERBACK WATCH

Panthers: Newton played into the second quarter, and was pulled after a seven-play, 80-yard TD drive that included a 38-yard pass to Ted Ginn Jr., up the right sideline. Derek Anderson went 7 of 12 for 83 yards, including a 12yard TD pass to Brenton Bersin on the first drive of the second half. Webb went 8 of 15 for 107 yards. Bills: Ryan announced Tyrod Taylor will start Thursday, when Buffalo plays at Cleveland. Taylor, who spent the previous four seasons as Joe Flacco’s backup in Baltimore, displayed his dual-threat ability. He completed 5 of 8 attempts for 49 yards, and also had six carries for 47 yards in playing three series. Manuel went 4 of 8 for 77 yards, and didn’t get much help from third-string center Alex Kupper, who botched consecutive snaps. ROOKIE WATCH

Panthers: Linebacker Shaq Thompson, the team’s firstround pick out of Washington, did not play because of a hamstring injury. Secondround pick, receiver Devin Funchess, had two catches for a team-leading 53 yards.

PHOENIX — A person with knowledge of the situation says running back Chris Johnson will visit the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday to undergo a physical. JOHNSON The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the visit has not been publicly acknowledged by those involved. Johnson, who turns 30 next month, rushed for a careerlow 663 yards with the New

York Jets last season after gaining at least 1,000 in each of his six seasons with the Tennessee Titans. Arizona running back Andre Ellington has been slowed by a hamstring problem in training camp but returned to full practice on Friday. But rookie David Johnson, a third-round draft pick out of Northern Iowa, has not practiced since the second day of camp, also because of a hamstring problem. Another Cardinals back, Marion Grice, also is sidelined with a hamstring injury. That left Stepfan Taylor and Kerwynn Williams as the only healthy Arizona backs through most of camp.

Chris Johnson’s visit to Arizona first was reported by Fox Sports. The Cardinals had the worst running game in the NFL last season with an average of 3.29 yards per carry. By contrast, Johnson averaged 4.3 yards per carry with the Jets last season. In a move to improve the dismal ground game in the offseason, Arizona signed free agent left guard Mike Iupati, considered to be one of the best run-blocking guards in the game. On March 8, Chris Johnson was wounded in the shoulder when someone opened fire on the vehicle in which he was riding in Orlando, Florida.

Opera House reveals expanded season 8 diverse acts include big band, beach music BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com

o matter your age or taste, the Sumter Opera House has something to get you into one of its 550 seats this season. Seth Reimer has revealed just the first half of the venue’s second season since he took over as the city of Sumter’s cultural manager. “Last year went really well,” Reimer said, “and we’ve been able to schedule a full roster for this season.” He said the Opera House’s reputation as a beautiful and acoustically superb auditorium has a lot to do with his ability to book an eclectic group of gifted entertainers. “The performers sit down at the piano and play a few notes, or get out their guitars and strum a few, and they nod,” he said. “The Opera House has that ‘wow factor.’” The venue is also popular with audience members. “No matter where you sit, from the back of the auditorium to the last row of the balcony, you’re never more than 100 feet from the stage,” Reimer said. “The performers like that intimacy, too.” One of them, country legend Lorrie Morgan decided to add an acoustic set to her performance, after seeing photos of the auditorium and hearing about its fine acoustics, he said. Among Morgan’s better known hits are “Five Minutes,” “Something In Red,” “Watch Me” and “What Part Of No.” Morgan, the youngest person ever to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry, is set to perform on Nov. 20. The performers have also commented about the profes-

sionalism of the Opera House staff and the “friendliness and the wonderful reception they get from the people here,” Reimer said. This year’s schedule will double the number of acts that performed last year. They attracted more than 4,000 paid guests, from “10 states and every corner of the state,” he said. “We’ll keep in touch with them to let them know what’s going on and get them to continue coming back to Sumter.” Starting off the season on Sept. 13 will be the famous trumpeter and bandleader for Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show from 1967, when he took over from Skitch Henderson, to 1992. Known almost as much for his colorful outfits as for his virtuosity, Severinsen got his start after service in World War II with such notable big band leaders as Charlie Barnett, Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey. Appealing to the entire family, but especially the younger members, is Disney Junior’s Choo Choo Soul, featuring Genevieve Goings. The show has received a Parents’ Choice Award for children’s TV and has toured with Imagination Movers. Reimer said their Sept. 26 date in Sumter is “currently their only stop in the Southeast.” They’ll perform twice on that date. Longtime fans of TV comedy, as well as those too young to remember the late, great Red Skelton, will enjoy Tom Mullica’s Nov. 8 tribute to Skelton and his classic characters, whom many Baby Boomers remember watching with their parents on Tuesday nights. Mullica will no doubt portray Skelton’s popular Clem Kadid-

DISNEY JUNIOR’S CHOO CHOO SOUL

DOC SEVERINSEN dlehopper, seagulls Gertrude and Heathcliff, Freddie the Freeloader and others. Mullica is the only Skelton impressionist authorized by the Skelton family, and Reimer said his performance is uncanny in its likeness to the late comedian, also known for his sign-off phrase, “Good night, and may God bless.” On Oct. 30, Greenville’s Warehouse Theatre will follow its 2014 presentation of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Shakespeare’s most popular comedy, with “Hamlet,” the Bard’s most popular tragedy. Reimer said the theater company will also conduct workshops with local high school students. The U.S. Army Jazz Ambassadors, who have performed in Sumter previously, will play the Sumter Opera House on Nov. 16. Their 2013 concert at another Sumter venue was canceled because of military budget cutbacks, and they are looking forward to a return here, Reimer said. There is no charge for their performance; however, reservations are recommended, as they easily fill the venues they play.

The couple is not registered, but will have a “wishing well” instead of receiving traditional wedding gifts.

Wife doesn’t share man’s joy over his upcoming retirement DEAR ABBY — I’m retiring at the end of this year after 50 years of full-time employment and I’m very excited about Dear Abby it. Looking back over my ABIGAIL life, I see VAN BUREN there have been several life-changing events ... marriage, the births of our children, buying a home and, now, retirement. My wife gets irritated every time I say (about twice a week), “When I retire.” I’m looking forward to all sorts of activities that I’ll have time for. Why can’t she be excited too? She makes snide remarks like, “Well, when you retire, you won’t have anything to say.” The implication is that all I talk about is my retirement, which isn’t true. And if it were true, it’s a big deal to me. What should I say to my wife? Excited in Maryland DEAR EXCITED — You might start by asking why her reaction is to rain on your parade about something you’re clearly looking forward to. She may be worried about how her life will change once you retire, or she may be a tad jealous. But you won’t know until you have a frank conversation with her that isn’t passive aggressive or tinged with sarcasm. DEAR ABBY — I have been in a relationship with a woman, “Wendy,” for more than a year. She has one child, whose father isn’t in the boy’s life, so I fill the role of his daddy. We are now expecting a child together. Wendy had a bad experience with her ex not wanting anything to do with his child. She also has a friend who has had kids with different men who ended up not treating them the same. Lately, Wendy has been pushing me away and trying to get me to leave. I have no plans to leave and I don’t want to. My question is, how do I

make her understand that I’m not the same as the other men, and I want to be there for both children? Man in a touch spot DEAR MAN — A marriage proposal and joint premarital counseling might go a long way in helping your girlfriend understand that you aren’t planning to disappear in a puff of smoke. It might also give you more insight into why she wants to push you away, just in case it’s because she isn’t as serious about you as you are about her. DEAR ABBY — After the long winters in Minnesota, we look forward to summer to open our windows and enjoy the fresh air. However, we are unable to do that because of wind chimes. Apparently, wind chime owners don’t understand (or care) that the noise carries throughout the whole block, especially on windy nights. PLEASE, folks! Take down your chimes and hang up something quiet instead. Miffed in Minnesota DEAR MIFFED — If your solution to this problem is writing to me hoping your neighbors see your letter, please allow me to offer a better one. Bake a batch of cookies (or another confection), and take it to these neighbors. When you hand your gift to them, explain that their wind chimes are driving you and some of the other neighbors to distraction. Then ask if they would please be kind enough to take them down and suggest that perhaps they hang a basket of flowers in their place. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Military instruction long a strong presence in public schools

eflections continues its review of military history and instruction in the public schools. An article written in support of military instruction was printed in The Watchman and Southron newspaper on July 22, 1911. The article receiving support from the U.S. War Department noted that military training for high school boys had received the department’s endorsement. Information used in writing this article was secured from The Sumter Item archives and the writings of Ruth Edens. In 1902, Sammy Way Dr. S.H. EdREFLECTIONS munds, superintendent of the city schools, decided to make military instruction a part of the high school curriculum. According to Edens, “a group of boys spoke to Dr. Edmunds in 1901 about the possibility of forming a drill company. Permission for this was granted, and a company of 19 boys organized. This group was to grow during the years and became a popular activity for boys in the high school. “This part of the school work proved so popular with the school boys and the results so gratifying and beneficial that it became a part of the school system. By 1911, the Boys High School had organized a battalion consisting of four companies, with a commandant who had graduated from the South Carolina Military Academy. These cadet companies used old Springfield Rifles purchased from the government. Securing these weapons proved to be difficult, and had Senator Tillman not interceded the school would not have been able to purchase them.” The students made great use of these rifles, and it was noted that “each year the Sumter school graduates had been thoroughly drilled in the manual of arms and in company and battalion field evolutions.” It is thought that Sumter was a pioneer in allowing its students to organize cadet companies, and “the Sumter High School battalion was certainly the first to be organized in the State of South Carolina and probably the first in the United States.” Assistant Secretary of War Oliver noted that “the success of the plan in Sumter demonstrated its usefulness, and the endorsement of military in-

All of the boys in grammar and high school were expected to join the companies, and all of them took increased interest in their work and the military feature of their high school life.” In 1945, the following message appeared in the Sumter High School yearbook: “Our country is at war. As never before, military training is being emphasized in the schools of America. In harmony with this nationwide program, Edmunds High School resumed at the beginning of the war the military drill which had long been a part of its curriculum but had been discontinued. The boys’ military unit divided into three companies. Recently a fourth, a headquarters company, was organized. All boys who are physically able to do so are required to drill. The girls’ military unit is composed of one company which is divided into two platoons. On close-orderdrill days this company drills separately from the boys’ companies, but on parade days it enters into competition with them. One day in each week is given over to competitive drill. … Military drill for girls is voluntary. All commissioned officers come from the senior class. … The marching band is an important part of the military organization of Edmunds High School. It heads Bond Drives, Armistice Day, and other patriotic parades of the school battalion.”

From the 1920 SHS yearbook: The Battalion -- Commandant W.H. Dargan In 1941-42, beginning soon after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Sumter schools “entered an all-out war for national defense, for democracy, and for humanity. Led by President (Ashby) McElveen, the Class of ’45 along with all the others did a thorough job of everything they were called on to do — from plane spotting and black-out patrolling to knitting for the Red Cross and caring for workers’ babies.” 1942-43 … was a year of drives. “Students played a big part in cleaning up the city and vicinity of tons of scrap needed for war purposes — aluminum, tin, iron — and soon where unsightly scrap had littered up vacant lots and big back yards, victory gardens were being planted in orderly rows.” In 1943-1944, “Jeeps were bought and even planes. Also in this year, through the Victory Corps organization, all activities were turned into

The treasury had set the value of jeeps at $900, and investments at Edmunds were $18,900, or enough for 21 of the vehicles. Representatives from several local schools that raised funds are shown riding in jeeps borrowed from Shaw Field to celebrate the victory.

The peak of the war was reached in 1945, and that year the Minute-Man Flag flew the year round. A hospital plane was purchased. The Red Cross war fund mounted to $592.40 in one short drive. Clothes for destitute people all over the world poured in. … The war record of the Class of ’45 was one of unfaltering patriotic service.” The military component of instruction remained an important part of the total educational experience in the city’s public schools well into the ’40s. With the end of World War II, the emphasis on required military training for male students appeared to wane, according to research. School curriculums today include ROTC, with programs

from many of the service branches in existence at numerous colleges and high schools. These programs remain open to interested students. According to The Air University at Maxwell AFB, “the AFJROTC (The Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Program) program began with a modest 20 units in 1966 and has expanded to 869 units throughout the world with 118,800 cadets. ...

25 YEARS AGO — 1990 Aug. 10-16 When Norman P. Adelson and Harry Katz arrived at Shaw Field in the early 1940s, the U.S. Air Force did not even exist. The fledgling airstrip, now Shaw Air Force Base, was run by the U.S. Army Air Corps, and Adelson, the field’s fifth officer, arrived before the first plane. In fact, he watched it land about a month after being stationed at Shaw. It was nothing like the sleek, high-tech F-16s that roar in and out of the base today. Its plywood shell was powered by a single-prop, gasoline-fueled engine, and Katz described the training aircraft as a “box with wings that would fly.” Both Katz and Adelson, now both 72, were in Sumter to tour the base and city they hadn’t seen in more than 45 years. • The small community of Rembert has a restaurant that, since the ‘50’s, has been worth the trip for food lovers from Richland, Sumter, Kershaw and Darlington counties.

Beer of champions? Wheaties teams up with craft brewery BY CANDICE CHOI AP Food Industry Writer NEW YORK — These Wheaties may not be so good with milk. Wheaties says it is partnering with a craft brewery to create a limited-edition beer. The 16-ounce cans will only be available in the Minneapolis-St. Paul market starting Aug. 26, according to Wheaties parent company General Mills. It’s not exactly clear what makes it Wheaties beer, besides being made from wheat. General Mills says the beer will be called HefeWheaties in a nod to a German style of beer called hefeweizen, which is typically made with more than 50 percent malted wheat. “We’re not saying it’s a breakfast beer, but we’re not saying it’s not,” said Ryan Petz, president of Fulton Brewery, the Minneapolis-based brewery that is making the beer. Petz said the beer is also intended to tie his company to the heritage of Minneapolis, which is also home to General Mills’ headquarters. Fulton will consider making the beer more widely available depending on how people react to the initial run, he said. Mike Siemienas, a General Mills spokesman, said the company left the development of the beer to Fulton. He declined to say whether the company plans to tap an athlete or celebrity to endorse the beer.

China’s yuan devaluation continues WASHINGTON (AP) — The slide continues. China’s currency fell further last week, keeping global investors on edge. The currency’s nosedive is giving investors plenty to worry about: • The risk the Chinese economy, the world’s second-biggest, is weakening even faster than expected. • The threat that a cheaper yuan poses to exports and economic growth in other countries. • The possibility that China’s move will trigger a beggar-thyneighbor currency war. • And the prospect that it will force the Federal Reserve to rethink a widely expected U.S. interest rate hike this year — a possibility that

creates uncertainties for financial markets.

HOW DID THIS START? In a surprise move, China devalued the yuan on Tuesday. Beijing doesn’t let buying and selling in financial markets set its exchange rate the way the United States and other developed countries do. Instead, it links the yuan’s value to a basket of currencies. The composition of the basket is a secret, but it’s thought to be dominated by the U.S. dollar. Each day, the People’s Bank of China sets a target for the yuan, then lets the currency trade 2 percent above or below that level. On Tuesday, the central bank set the target 1.9 percent below Monday’s — the biggest one-day change in a decade.

WHAT’S CHINA’S MOTIVATION? China says the devaluation was part of an effort to give market forces a bigger say in the exchange rate — something the United States and the International Monetary Fund have long called for. Chinese people, worried about the economy and seeking investment opportunities abroad, have been pulling money out of the country. That exodus has held down the yuan’s value. But because the yuan was tied to a rising U.S. dollar, it remained at high levels. By devaluing the yuan, the Chinese government was catching up to the

market, not trying to counteract it. Or so Beijing says. Many economists also suspect a contributing factor: Beijing may be desperately trying to boost its economy. A cheaper yuan gives Chinese exporters a price advantage in foreign markets. And they need help: Exports dropped a steep 8.3 percent in July year over year.

WHY ARE INVESTORS SO FREAKED OUT? Plenty of reasons. The surprise devaluation suggests that something is spooking the Chinese government. Perhaps the Chinese economy is decelerating even faster than anyone realizes. Already, the IMF is forecasting 6.8 percent economic growth in China this year, the slowest rate since 1990. Signs of trouble are accumulating. On Wednesday, for instance, China reported that auto sales sank 6.6 percent in July. Investors are also worried about how a weaker yuan will affect exporters in other countries. Shares in exporters such as Caterpillar and General Electric fell in the market rout this week, though many economists say the yuan’s drop so far isn’t significant enough to do much damage. Then there’s the chance that other countries will adopt copycat devaluations to help their exporters compete with China, thereby igniting a currency war that disrupts international trade. On Wednesday, Vietnam allowed its currency to weaken in response to China’s move.

Early migratory bird hunting seasons set

efore I start … Happy Birthday Mom! I know that the South Carolina archery season for deer opened yesterday, and I’m pretty sure that I went, but since I have to have this article in before Saturday, I suppose we’ll have to make do with something other than deer hunting. Believe me, I’ve got all the stands out and the trail cameras are showing a little bit of activity, including a sweet little velvet covered six point. I’ll try to do better next week. So, as is so often the case, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources has come to the rescue. I was visiting their website, www.dnr.sc.gov, and found some information that all of us that hunt may be interested in. The “Early Season Migratory Bird Season” dates have been set. I guess the one that impacts the most hunters in our area would be dove season. This year’s dove season will start on the Saturday before Labor Day, September 5th, at noon. On the 5th, 6th, and 7th, or Saturday through Monday, the season will open at noon and close at sunset each day; after the 7th, from the 8th on until the

closing of the first season on October 17th, the season will open each morning, 30 minutes before sunrise and end at sunset each afternoon. The daily bag limit is again 15 birds. Earle The middle season Woodward runs Nov. 14 through AFIELD & 28 and the last season goes Dec. 15th AFLOAT through Jan 15th. The daily start and end times for the middle and last season, and the daily bag limit are the same. The early goose season has also been set — September 1-30. This season is an effort to help control the resident population of Canada geese. If you’ve been to almost any private pond or golf course in the area, you have no doubt encountered numerous geese, all of which are champions at recycling grass and other vegetable matter into fertilizer pellets. There are times when trying to putt on some of the greens at the local golf courses is almost impossible after a

flock of geese have spent some time apply their own special mixture of fertilizer to the closely cropped grass. They don’t mind helping you fertilize your yard or helping you decorate with a “feather motif” either. In short, other than being pretty to watch on the wing or water, they are basically “sky carp,” making a mess no matter where they wind up. According to the website, the rules this year are statewide, which pretty much puts the entire lake area into play. The exceptions will be the Santee National Wildlife Refuge and the bird sanctuary from the causeway on Taw Caw Creek out to Goat Island. Of course the “200 yards from any residence” rule applies, which means that if you’re going to be closer than 200 yards to someone’s house or pier, you’ll need to get their permission to hunt. The limit on Canada geese during the early season is 15 birds. Right after the part about the goose season, the site states that “All possession limits for the coming migratory bird season will be three times the daily bag limit as opposed to two times the daily bag limit as in the past.”

I suppose that means that you can have 45 doves or Canada geese in your freezer at one time. That’s a lot of birds and meat! I’m sure that there are some folks within the Sumter Item’s coverage area that hunt rails, moorhens and gallinules, but I don’t think there are enough to go into a complete breakdown of those seasons, so if you fall into that group of hunters, check out the DRN website; it’s all right there. I do love the fellowship and social life that surrounds a good dove hunt and early season goose hunt, there’s nothing like being around a bunch of guys of similar interest, all eager to have at the quarry in question. Dove hunting is a great way to introduce kids to the sport. You can stand right beside them, the shot shell loads are usually fairly light and the shooting consistent enough to keep their interest up. Goose hunting with kids is okay, except the shell loads are considerably more stout and punishing to the shoulder. Let’s all have a great time afield, keep safety in mind, harvest what you need and leave the rest for seed.

A few tips for preparing wild game and fish to eat REFRIGERATING

BY PHILLIP GENTRY The Greenville News Most sportsmen become at least proficient in preparing wild game and fish entrees for the simple fact that spending so much time hunting and collecting it makes you want to eat it. While wild game and fish recipes run the gamut from no preparation at all to extravagant marinades and cooking that require several days, there are a few common denominators that can be the difference between a meal fit for a king and one that makes the dog sick. Without going into great detail about recipes and methods of preparations, here are a few key tips that can help you make the most of the meal that you collected from the Great Outdoors.

DRESSING THE ANIMAL IN THE FIELD Whether the entrée in question is fish, fowl, mammal or some other form of protein, getting the best flavor starts the moment you get your hands on it. While some fish or other seafood might be transported alive, it is generally best to cool the game immediately so that the meat does not begin to spoil.

COOLING Adding ice or, where practical, moving the meat to a cold area where practical will facilitate preserving the meat and reducing spoilage. Cooling

Wild game and fish have no inherent preservatives. This is one reason this type of meat is desired by naturalists and health conscious consumers. Accordingly, fish and wild game under refrigeration and while frozen tend not keep for as long as other processed meats. When thawing frozen fish or game, allow the meat to thaw completely without the aid of water, ambient heat or, heaven forbid, a microwave oven.

COOKING

SUMTER ITEM FILE PHOTO

Wild game is served at a recent Men’s Wild Game Supper in Clarendon County. often begins with removing the entrails, which heated the animal while it was alive. Doing so will allow the meat to cool naturally, and discarding the entrails from the rest of the carcass will prevent waste from getting to the meat. In the case of some fish and fowl, also allowing the carcass to bleed out after harvest will both cool and remove potential contamination; some species have strong bloodlines that can taint the meat.

The most common mistakes made when cooking any kind of wild fish or game are cooking it too long and / or cooking it too fast. The mistake comes in thinking the “wild” meat needs to be more thoroughly cooked to reduce chances of bacteria or other contamination. The truth is that wild game, duly tended, has a much smaller chance of contamination than meats processed in bulk in large plants. Cooking wild meat slowly until just done will result in better table fare.

PREPARATION Grilling is probably the No. 1 method of preparation. Again, “slow and thorough” is generally the best advice. Another note is that since wild game and fish tend to have lesser fat content than other meats, preserving the fat content by searing, covering in foil or

other containment or combining wild meat with other ingredients that will preserve moisture is good advice.

INGREDIENTS It simply does not make sense to combine wild caught or killed meats with processed or preserved ingredients. With an abundance of freshly grown and whole foods available in supermarkets, farmer’s outlets and other natural food venues, using fresh ingredients in wild game and fish recipes will allow a unique meal to be even better. When planning an outing where wild game or fish is a likely result, make sure you have good ingredients needed on hand to prepare a fresh meal as soon as possible.

RECIPES Though finding wild game recipes you like is a matter of trial and error, here are two of my favorite sources. Each month, South Carolina and North Carolina Sportsman magazines feature an outdoor cooking column written by my friend Capt. Jerry Dilsaver entitled “Cooking On The Wild Side.” In addition, every Saturday on Upstate Outdoors on 106.3 WORDFM, my radio show co-host Tommy Springer presents “The Roadkill Café.” Both are great venues for getting seasonal wild game recipes that cover both the woods and waters.

FISHING REPORTS Santee Cooper System Crappie: Fair. It may not be what people think of as traditional crappie season on the Santee Cooper lakes, but that doesn’t mean that anglers who know where to look can’t wear them out even during the heat of the summer. Captain Steve English reports that his boat is catching crappie right now by fishing over brush in 16-24 feet of water with minnows. And contrary to what might be expected, on some days the best bite has been in the middle part of the day. While both Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie are producing crappie, for numbers Steve is finding that the upper lake has been a bit more productive. But for big fish it has been hard to beat the lower lake. Lake Wateree Crappie: Good. Veteran tournament angler Will Hinson reports that with water temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s crappie have moved completely out of the creeks. They are bunched up around brush in the 18-22 foot range in the main lake, and early in the morning fish will be suspended just above the brush. Later in the day they will be heading to the bottom of the brush. While minnows will catch some fish, Will has had much better results using Fish Stalker Slab Tail Jigs in Ugly Green, pearl and yellow colors. Lake Murray Catfish: Good. While Lake Murray may be better known for its striper fishing than its catfish fishery, Captain Chris Simpson reports that anglers on his boat have been filling up coolers with

channel catfish this summer. The key has been anchoring on points and humps and fan-casting out dip (stink) baits, cut herring, and shrimp in 5-25 feet of water. Channels are voracious feeders in the warmer months and they can be found all over the lake, and solid numbers of 2-12 pound channel cats are being caught. Lake Monticello Bass: Fair to good. Lake Monticello is unique compared to a lot of South Carolina lakes for at least two reasons, and both factors combine to dictate a deep bass fishing pattern. First, veteran tournament angler Andy Wicker says that Monticello doesn’t have a huge population of blueback herring like many other area lakes, and so the bass aren’t targeting herring schools. Whereas on Lake Murray bass might be in water as deep as 50 or more feet at times, they will generally be suspended in that depth following the suspended herring. In contrast, on Lake Monticello Andy believes the bass are primarily eating white perch (and it has a ton probably more than any other lake, he says) and threadfin shad. Feeding on these baitfish bass will usually be on the bottom in deep water, and Andy says he catches bass fishing vertically under the boat in 45 and more feet of water. The second major factor that makes Monticello distinct from other lakes, and which contributes to the deep pattern, is that water levels fluctuate greatly. It is not unusual for the lake to rise and fall 3-5 feet per day related to power generation, and Andy believes that may be one reason that he doesn’t have

much luck targeting bass that are feeding on spawning bream. He has tried but the bass just don’t seem to be up there, and he speculates it may be because of the water level changes. The result is that most of the time Lake Monticello in the summer is a true deep water bass fishery. Andy says that he spends most of his time targeting textbook main lake, deep water structure such as points, humps, and drops; even when he is fishing shallower there needs to be deep water nearby. His target depth range is 20-50 feet of water. Lake Wylie Catfish: Good. Catfish are hitting very well right now and according to Captain Rodger Taylor the key to catching them consistently has been drifting near the river channel. Rodger reports that, as is customary much of the year, the last couple of trips he has started off anchoring in the morning up the river but this bite has only been “fair.” Once he starts drift fishing cut bait in the middle section of the lake, however, Rodger has encountered a good, very good, and at times even excellent bite. The consistent “sweet spot” recently is the 15-22 foot range where the river starts to drop off. Rods quickly started bending Lake Russell Striped bass: Good. There are probably times when spotted bass won’t eat, but right now is not one of those times on Lake Russell! Guide Wendell Wilson reports that even in the heat of summer his boat is catching good numbers of voracious spots fishing off the sides of

long sloping points in 15-20 feet of water. He is concentrating on the main channel, and the best fishing is coming on days when there is current running. While Lake Russell is thick with spotted bass and they will be found off most long sloping points on the main channel at the right depth range, adding some brush to the point makes it as close to a sure thing as can be found in summer bass fishing. There is probably no better bait right now for Lake Russell spotted bass than live herring, but artificial lure aficionados will have no trouble getting bites, either. Lake Thurmond Crappie: Fair to good. Captain William Sasser reports that he has not been spending much time targeting crappie, but the fish are still stacked up along the river channel in the same pattern that they have been in. Fish minnows 10 feet down over brush in 15-25 feet of water. Lake Greenwood Bass: Good. Veteran tournament bass angler Stan Gunter reports that the bass fishing has been strong on Lake Greenwood - especially for considering water and 100 degree air temperatures. First thing in the morning it’s worth looking up shallow around docks and seawall and throwing frogs and poppers, but anglers might want to be careful not to let the pursuit of shallow fish keep them from finding the best bite on the lake. Big groups of fish are hanging around main lake points and humps in 15-18 feet of water, and this structure is even better if it has some cover on it such as deep brush. Big worms and crankbaits

have been hard to beat and anglers fishing the right areas have been able to pretty consistently put solid numbers. Lake Hartwell Crappie: Slow to fair. Captain Bill Plumley reports that crappie fishing remains pretty slow, but the fish that are being caught are around deep brush in about 25 feet of water. They are holding very tight to the brush and will eat minnows. Lake Keowee Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Fair to good. First thing in the morning and lasting for about 30-45 minutes there is fairly reliably a good topwater bite on Lake Keowee right now. The fish are not really schooling, but if anglers pull up on shallow, flat points and cast their favorite topwater lures they should get bites from fish that are probably chasing threadfin. After the sun comes up, boat traffic usually does a number on Lake Keowee during the summer months, but anglers can catch fish by fishing shakey head worms, drop shot rigs, and in certain places Carolina rigs in 20-30 feet of water. Lake Jocassee Bass: Good. Jocassee Outdoor Center reports that bass fishing remains strong, and while the spawning season is mostly finished good numbers of bass can still be caught up pretty shallow. The spotted and smallmouth bass bite has been particularly good, with fish being caught around shoreline cover including trees and brush. Soft plastics as well as crawdad-colored crankbaits have been working well.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 16, 2015 Public Hearing Management Commission will hold a public hearing to receive comments on the draft Environmental Impact Statement prepared for Union County's interbasin transfer (IBT) certificate request. The Union County Public Works Water System (Union County) is a provider of drinking water to citizens of Union County, excluding the City of Monroe, serving customers in both the Catawba River basin and the Rocky River basin. Union County is requesting a 23.0 million gallons per day (mgd) transfer from the Yadkin River IBT basin to the Rocky River IBT basin, calculated on an average day of the maximum month basis, per current statutory regulation. The requested transfer amount is based upon 2050 water demand projections to meet anticipated growth in Union County's Rocky River IBT basin. Currently, most of the water supplied by Union County is sourced from the Catawba River through the Catawba River Water Treatment Plant in Lancaster County, South Carolina. To support the Rocky River IBT basin service area, Union County transfers a maximum of 5.0 mgd, as allowed by an existing grandfathered authorization, from the Catawba River IBT basin to the Rocky River IBT basin. The proposed request will avoid the need for an increase in the amount transferred from the Catawba River IBT basin. The proposed intake will be on Lake Tillery near the existing location of the intake for the Town of

The purpose of this announcement is to encourage interested parties to attend and/or provide relevant written and verbal comments. Division of Water Resources staff requests that parties submit written copies of oral comments. Based on the number of people who wish to speak, the length of oral presentations may be limited.
