Sanders holds town hall Independent Vermont senator speaks to crowd of about 600

BY KIM CHANDLER The Associated Press

BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com About 600 people were in attendance at Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ town hall meeting held on Saturday at the Sumter County Civic Center. Sanders, an independent U.S. Senator from Vermont, is one of five candidates who are competing for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. Former District 35 State Senator Phil Leventis introduced Sanders at the event. “The American people need Bernie Sanders,” Leventis said. “He votes for what he believes is best for us. We need his values; we need his dedication for Americans. Bernie has a vision for America which has not changed in 40 years.” Issues that Sanders addressed in his speech included income and wealth equality, healthcare, unemployment, education, immigration, climate change and several others. “Who believes that there is something wrong with the fact that almost all of the wealth and income in this country is going to the top 1 percent?” Sanders asked the crowd, who cheered in response. “There are 45 million people in this country who are living in poverty. Very few politicians talk about that issue.” Sanders mentioned starting a grassroots effort several times throughout his speech. “We need to understand that corporate greed is destroying this country, and the only way to defeat that is when we stand together,” he said. “There has been a huge redis-

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Alabama was once considered a flyover state for presidential hopefuls. That is no longer the case. Six GOP presidential candidates are visiting Alabama during a 10-day period, as the crowded Republican field jockeys for support ahead of the next year’s regional southern primary. “They are coming to Alabama because we are the reddest state in the nation,” Alabama Republican Party Chairwoman Terry Lathan said. “They clearly understand Alabama is such a conservative state that they need to get boots on the ground here and get to know us and we need to get to know them,” Lathan said. Outspoken New York businessman Donald Trump brought his campaign down to the Deep South with a Friday night rally at a 40,000-seat football stadium in Mobile. Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley endorsed Ohio Gov. John Kasich for president the previous Monday. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker will speak at the Alabama Republican Party’s annual summer gathering in Talladega on Saturday. Sen.

Does new Alice Drive circle improve traffic near school? BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com Alice Drive Elementary School has a new pick-up and drop-off circle designed to improve traffic flow next to the school, although not all parents are happy about it. The new circle is part of a $641,000 project that also included an awning for weather protection, another paved pick-up circle on Miller Road and security doors in the main entrance. The project was undertaken to provide a safer environment for children being picked up and to alleviate traffic on both Miller Road and Alice Drive, said Sumter School District Superintendent Frank Baker. Some parents are unhappy, though. Parents say they have to arrive about 1 p.m., or an hour and 15 minutes in advance, if they want to park in the circle to get a good spot before school lets out. “I think it’s a waste of money,” said Barbara Isaac, a parent. “I don’t think it makes much sense

Students get picked up on Friday at the new traffic circle at Alice Drive Elementary School. at all.” “It’s a mess,” said Michael Welch, another parent. “I honestly think they should make it into a twolane pickup circle to speed up the process.” Others disagree. “I like it, it’s better than being stuck in traffic,” said Sherell Robinson, another parent. “It’s been a learning

curve this week, but I think it will alleviate congestion once everyone gets used to it,” said Walt Driggers, another parent. Before completion of that project this summer, many parents picked up their children on the Miller Road side or on a smaller parking circle that existed on the Alice Drive side. The smaller circle could

only fit about eight cars at a time, Baker said. It took about 25 minutes to have 450 to 500 students picked up on Friday as cars moved through the new Alice Drive circle and for traffic to clear in front of the school. That same process took as long as 45 minutes last year, said Suzanna Foley, principal of Alice Drive.

Army Guard partners with law enforcement State, local agencies work together to prepare response to an active shooter situation SECOND LT. TRACCI DORGAN South Carolina National Guard Special to The Sumter Item South Carolina Army National Guard Soldiers in the 351st Headquarters Support Company partnered with Sumter County Sheriff’s Office to train in reacting to an active shooter scenario Friday at the Army National Guard Armory in Sumter. Law enforcement personnel from the sheriff’s office were on scene to facilitate this training, along with the S.C. Law Enforcement Division, as they ramp up support statewide for increased force protection measures. SLED agent Wayne Freeman provided classroom instruction about how to react to a shooter and what to do when first responders arrive. “The average active shooter engagement is 12 minutes long,” said Freeman. “Victims only need to fight for three minutes because it takes first responders approximately three minutes to arrive to most any location.” Freeman added that training has a direct impact on survivability. He discussed survivor psychology and how these traits enable individuals to instinctively know what to do when faced with a life-threatening event such as an active shooter. “The information Agent Freeman put out was an eye opener,” said Sgt. Christopher Cathey, a supply special-

Joe Clavon, 59th Aviation Troop Command Anti-terrorism Officer. “It got us involved with our local law enforcement and informed us on what to expect from them if they were ever needed.” Under the executive order signed by Gov. Nikki Haley on Aug. 17, South Carolina National Guard units at armories and facilities statewide are conducting active-shooter tabletop drills and active shooter response exercises partnered with local law enforcement. Governors across the nation are taking steps to increase force protection measures for National Guard Soldiers and airmen after the July 16 domestic terrorist attack in which five U.S. service members were killed. “Given the evolution of the threat over the past 15 years, this order by Gov. Haley allows us to take the next step of force protection for troops on U.S. soil,” said Maj. Gen. Robert E. Livingston Jr., the adjutant general for the state. “We are implementing changes partnered with SLED and Department of Public Safety that are proactive, realistic and sustainable. “We will continue to take all steps necessary to ensure our South Carolina National Guardsmen have the proper force protection both here and abroad while they protect our citizens.”

Exercise may reduce your diabetes risk

ccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 95 percent of the 29.1 million people who have diabetes are type 2 diabetic. Last year $245 billion was spent on total medical costs and lost work and wages for people diagnosed with diabetes. Medical costs are typically twice as high for those with diabetes. Having diabetes increases risk for more serious health complications such as blindness, heart disease, kidney failure, stroke and loss of lower limbs. The CDC states one in three adults, approximately 89 million Americans, are prediabetic. This increases their risk of developing diabetes within five years if preventive measures are not followed. While genetics and family history play a role in determining risk, lifestyle behaviors strongly influ-

ence overall health. Regardless of age, it’s never too late to slow the onset of this disease. As we get older, our muscles become insulin resistant, which means the insulin does a poor job of moving blood sugar into muscle cells. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas that is necessary for converting carbohydrates, or sugar and starches, into energy. And the Missy older we get, the Corrigan slower our pancreas is to respond. So with less-effective insulin or even less insulin, the greater the potential is for higher blood sugar levels, which can continue to rise through the years.

Maintaining a healthy weight through exercise and healthy eating is recommended for those who are managing their diabetes as well as for those who want to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. Exercise is proven to be very effective in improving insulin sensitivity in the muscles. Even without the presence of insulin, blood sugar can be transferred into the muscles during each contraction. Because the foods we eat have the greatest impact on our blood sugar, the optimal time to exercise is about half an hour after eating. By then the digested food has been absorbed into the bloodstream. One study showed that on the days that participants walked for 15 minutes after each meal, they lowered

their blood sugar significantly when compared to the days that they did not walk. Exercising after a meal can help control blood sugar levels. So on the days you don’t exercise, you do not receive the benefit. Therefore, the more frequently you exercise, the more your muscles become trained to clear glucose from your blood. It is reported by the CDC that 90 percent of individuals who are prediabetic are unaware of it, and 25 percent of individuals are not aware they actually have diabetes. If you have a family history of diabetes you should get your blood sugar checked by your physician. If you are prediabetic or diabetic, check with your doctor about programs available to you to help you reduce your risk or better manage living with diabetes.

Drug industry links run deep in field of sexual medicine BY MATTHEW PERRONE AP Health Writer

VISION CENTER 701 Bultman Drive 803.773.4723

WASHINGTON — How do you measure sexual desire? If you’re a drugmaker trying to win approval for a medication to boost female libido, it might come down to two questions on a medical questionnaire. Those questions made the difference for Sprout Pharmaceuticals, which received federal approval Tuesday for Addyi, the first pill for women who suffer from a loss of sexual appetite. But the history and development of that questionnaire — funded by drugmakers — underscores how closely the field of sexual medicine is intertwined with the pharmaceutical industry. And lends weight to arguments that low libido is just the latest commonplace sexual problem — like impotence or low testosterone — to be transformed into a medical condition by drugmakers. “Creating a diagnosis gives a company monopoly over the THE ASSOCIATED PRESS market it created,” says Dr. A tablet of flibanserin sits on a brochure for Sprout Pharmaceuticals in Adriane Fugh-Berman of the company’s Raleigh, North Carolina, headquarters in June. The Georgetown University, who Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday approved the first prescrip- organized a petition urging the tion drug designed to boost sexual desire in women. FDA to reject Addyi.

The questionnaire that helped push Addyi over the finish line is called the Female Sexual Function Index, a 19-question form used to measure women’s sexual problems, including issues with pain, orgasm, arousal and desire. Only two questions specifically address desire, asking women to rank the level and frequency of their libido in the last month. Drugmakers Bayer and Zonagen paid for the development of the questionnaire in 2000, when the companies were exploring drugs for female sexual disorders. The companies hired a panel of medical experts to design the form, which was intended to help doctors define and diagnose sexual disorders. While it might seem odd to diagnose a medical condition based on self-reported questions, researchers say it’s the only way. “Obviously, there’s no biochemical thing you can measure to say ‘this women has so much desire,’ so it has to be a subjective rating of some kind,” says Ray Rosen, the psychiatrist who led the FSFI panel. In the 1990s, Rosen worked with Pfizer to develop a five-question form to diagnose

erectile dysfunction in men. He credits that easy-to-use questionnaire with the blockbuster success of Pfizer’s Viagra. But whereas erectile dysfunction is relatively easy to measure and observe, women’s desire disorders can only be studied through psychological tools and methods. Today, the form is widely used, cited in hundreds of papers on women’s sexual health. But for years it failed to win the support of one critical group of experts: the Food and Drug Administration. That presented a challenge for Sprout and its drug Addyi, which the FDA rejected twice in 2010 and 2013 because of side effects and minimal benefits. Regulators noted that the original drug studies failed to show an increase in female desire based on daily journal entries by women. Sprout argued that the FDA should disregard those results and instead look to monthly results from the questionnaire, which showed a small, but statistically significant, boost. Patients taking the drug reported a 34 percent increase in desire, compared with 25 percent of women taking a placebo.

Former inmate returns to prison as therapist

BERNIE FROM PAGE A1 Sanders said in the last two years, 14 of the wealthiest people in the U.S. have seen their wealth increase by $156 billion. “Greed is destroying this country,” he said. Sanders said the U.S. is the only industrialized country that does not guarantee health care to all people as a right. “It is time for this country to join the rest of the industrialized world,” he said. “How many people delay going to the doctor because they don’t have medical insurance or high deductibles?” The unemployment rate in the U.S. according to official statistics is 5.3 percent, however, that number is actually about 10.5 percent, said Sanders. Among young people, ages 17 to 20, those numbers are more than 30 percent, he said. “We are turning our back on an entire generation of young people,” he said. “It is the economically sensible thing to do to start investing in education and jobs. It’s cheaper to send people to college than to lock them up in jail.” Sanders said one of his goals is to increase the minimum wage eventually from $7.25 to $15. “Millions of Americans are working at wages which are just too ... low,” he said. “It’s not a radical idea that if someone works 40 hours a week, that person should not be living in poverty.” Sanders said there should be equality in wages for men and women. “I hope every man here will stand with every woman here and fight for pay equity,” he said. He also touched on abortion and gay marriage. “I hear a lot of Republican candidates talking about ‘family values,’ what they mean essentially is to tell every woman in America that she cannot control her own body ... I disagree,” he said. “That very important decision must be left to that woman, not the government. “When Republicans also talk about family values, they mean

Vermont Sen.

I disagree with that,” he said. “If we’re going to talk about equal rights, let’s talk about equal rights for all Americans.” Maternity leave was another issue addressed. “It’s an international embarrassment that the U.S. is the only nation in the world that does not guarantee paid family and medical leave,” he said. “I believe that families in this country need to get at least three months paid family and medical leave.” On jobs, Sanders said the federal government must develop a major federal jobs program to put millions of people back to work. “One of the fastest and most effective way to do that is to understand that the infrastructure such as roads, bridges and dams need an enormous amount of work,” he said. Sanders said he thinks that everyone should have free college education.

“It troubles me that in our country there are hundreds of thousands of qualified young people who want a college education but cannot get it for one reason ... their family lacks the money,” he said. “In my view, that is not only terribly unfair, but it is also absurd. We need to tap all of the intellectual capabilities we can find. That’s why I have introduced and will fight for legislation that will make every public college and university tuition free.” Sanders said that the U.S. has a broken criminal justice system. “There needs to be a reform in the criminal justice system, and no one will fight harder than I will to do that,” he said. On immigration, Sanders said the government need to provide legal protection for undocumented immigrants. “We need to move towards immigration reform,” he said. Sanders’ stop in Sumter was one of several events he held throughout the state, including Charleston, Columbia and Greenville.

COLUMBIA (AP) — More than a decade ago, Dana Mallette of Columbia — a mother and a drug addict — was facing prison time for passing bad checks. Now, thanks to a prisonsponsored program that helped her kick her drug habit, Mallette has returned to South Carolina’s corrections system, this time as a therapist to help those who are battling some of the demons she once did. After several years sliding down the spiral of cocaine use, Mallette was arrested in late 2003 for passing bad checks and ended up in state’s prison system. There, because of her past issues with drugs, she was placed in a special unit where inmates with addiction issues live and work together, attending intensive group therapy sessions. “It was so structured,” Mallette said. “But I knew that I did not want to go back out there and use.” The program has several phases, according to Dorcas Adedokun, a Nigerian-born therapist employed by the Corrections Department who was instrumental in Mallette’s experience. After addressing the meaning of addiction itself, inmates are forced to confront the impact their addic-

tions have had on those around them via group therapy, family visits and attending Narcotics and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings within the prison walls. “Once they clean the junk out, then they have room for the good stuff to go in,” Adedokun said. Released from prison after six months, Mallette says her first priorities were attending NA meetings, finding a job — and enrolling in school to become a therapist herself. “SCDC saved my life,” she said. “But I never wanted to come back here as an inmate.” Working on her bachelor’s and master’s degrees, Mallette checked in regularly with Dorcas Adedokun, the Nigerian-born therapist who helped guide her journey through the prison system and into a productive life outside the system. Through that relationship, Mallette returned to prison, this time as part of an internship with a men’s addiction therapy program at another institution. “It’s a good feeling to know that you’re actually giving back,” said Mallette from her office inside a former inmate dorm room. “I feel like I’m walking in my calling, finally.”

norities emerged among the biggest users of certain forms of technology, such as smartphones. The AP-NORC study found no evidence to suggest that blacks’ and Hispanics’ use of technology lags behind whites, with nearly all millennials using a smartphone and half using a tablet. Blacks are also more likely to use Facebook for keeping up with what’s “trending” on so-

cial media — 41 percent of blacks compared with 29 percent of whites and 24 percent of Hispanics. Those who are Hispanic or black are more likely than white millennials to get news and information from YouTube (38 percent of Hispanics compared with 33 percent of blacks and 20 percent of whites) and Instagram (30 percent of Hispanics compared with 45 percent of blacks and

19 percent of whites). According to Rosenstiel, YouTube’s popularity partially stems from users’ ability to produce content without gatekeepers. “We see topics that aren’t mainstream finding a big audience — a lot of gamers, comedy, news commentary. As something goes mainstream, young people look for new channels to exercise some control,” he said.

Diagnosis doesn’t stop Carter from working

Former President Jimmy Carter walks to a news conference followed by his wife, Rosalynn Carter, center, at The Carter Center in Atlanta on Thursday. Carter announced that his cancer is on four small spots on his brain and he will immediately begin radiation treatment, saying he is “at ease with whatever comes.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

One-term president is receiving radiation for melanoma in his brain BY KATHLEEN FOODY The Associated Press ATLANTA — Cancer in his brain is forcing Jimmy Carter to slow down, but the 90-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner is insisting on keeping up with some of the humanitarian work that has sustained him since leaving the White House as a oneterm president 35 years ago. Hours before receiving radiation targeted at four spots of melanoma in his brain on Thursday, the former president warned his staff and a roomful of reporters that he has no intention of missing The Carter Center’s next progress reports on the eradication of elephantiasis and Guinea worm disease. Carter acknowledged Thursday that skin cancer is forcing him to cut back “fairly dramatically” on his usual routine. His regimen includes intravenous drug treatments every three weeks and the possibility of more targeted radiation if the melanoma shows up elsewhere in his body. But he insisted that his work isn’t done yet — and pointed to The Carter Center’s dramatic inroads against diseases in Africa, Asia and Latin America as an example. Guinea worm — a parasite that lives in untreated water and grows inside the human body — afflicted 3.5 million people but seemed beyond the reach of global health initiatives. The Carter Center says its public health work helped reduce Guinea worm disease to a mere 126 cases world-

ALL

wide last year. “I would like the last Guinea worm to die before I do,” Carter said. That’s no surprise to Jim Niquette, who spent nine years working on the disease in Nigeria, Ghana and Southern Sudan with the center and accompanied Carter on three working trips in the field. Niquette founded and now runs WATER (Water in Africa Through Everyday Responsiveness), a nonprofit focused on improving access to clean water. “He gets his strength from the future world,” said Niquette. “My guess is, his frame of reference is, as long as he’s on this Earth, he’s supposed to do as much as he possibly can.” Gerald Rafshoon, who ran Carter’s political advertising campaigns, said a president’s legacy is determined by “what he can accomplish for

the future.” Carter has kept that mentality ever since, despite his disappointment at losing to Ronald Reagan in 1980, he said. White House aides would “joke about asking: ‘What are your priorities?’ and he would give you a list of six or seven things for that day,” Rafshoon said. “But he wanted to accomplish everything. You knew if he was working you hard, he was working even harder.” Carter stressed that he will closely follow the recommendations of “the best cancer treaters in the world,” even as he keeps lecturing at Emory University, attending meetings and fundraising for The Carter Center and enjoying his extended family — four children, 12 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Dr. Walter Curran Jr., leader of Emory’s Winship Cancer Institute and part of

Carter’s medical team, said with melanoma patients like Carter, doctors aren’t seek-

ing to “cure” cancer but rather to control it and provide a good quality of life. Asked if he finds it difficult to step back, Carter immediately responded that he “really wanted to go” to Nepal this November to build houses with Habitat for Humanity. Carter said he and his wife, Rosalynn, have helped the organization build on 32 previous missions.

WINGS FROM PAGE A1 mustard and ghost pepper are available for sale in bottles. There are plenty of other foods on the menu as well. For beer connoisseurs, there are 30 draft beers and about 25 domestic and imported bottles to choose from. The restaurant can seat as many as 250 people, and includes 53 seating areas — tables, high top tables and booths. People can also eat at the bar while watching a game or in a screened-in glass patio. Various framed sports jerseys of professional, college and local high school teams are displayed throughout the restaurant. “Everyone in Sumter has been very welcoming to us, and we plan on being active in the community,” Swayne said. Besides providing food and

drinks, the restaurant has employed 125 local residents out of 1,800 applicants, she said. Sumter native Levi Simpson, a restaurant cook, said so far he’s enjoyed the upbeat tempo and enthusiasm of the staff. “I love the core values of BWW; it fits my personality and it’s a really fun place to work,” Simpson said. “It really lifts up your morale and attitude when you wake up in the morning and want to go to work.” Sumter resident Stephanie Pagan, a server, said she is excited for the grand opening. “I’m really looking forward to working in a friendly environment and serving people,” Pagan said. Pagan was the second employee hired by the restaurant. Katelyn Franks, a server, recently moved to the area after her husband was trans-

ferred to Shaw Air Force Base. “This will be a great way for me to meet more people in Sumter, and I’m looking forward to working in a fastpaced environment,” she said. Alcohol will be served every day at the restaurant, including Sundays. In November 2014, Sumter residents voted in favor of a referendum allowing Sunday alcohol sales at restaurants in the city. The measure passed by 60 percent.

Mack Hirshberg still flipping and flying at 54 BY GRAHAM OSTEEN

COMMENTARY

This is one of those “Sumter Is The Center of the Universe” stories. Back in January I wrote a column containing the following three sentences: “I found out my longtime Hartsville friend Bill Segars is an expert on the construction of South Carolina’s historic churches, having studied more than 700 of them. He’s married to the former Debbie Hirshberg of Sumter fame. Who doesn’t have a great story about her late father, the veterinarian Dr. Robert Hirshberg, or her little brother, Flippin’ Mack Hirshberg?” Debbie sent some of my columns about Sumter to Mack, who has lived in Utah for about 27 years. That led to us reconnecting via social media, as people tend to do these days. Please note that it all started with your local newspaper, still your most trusted source of news. Fast-forward to last month, when Mack sent me a link to a story about Mac’s Cheer Camp, a business he owns with his wife, Janet, based in Holladay, Utah. They specialize in “All Star Cheer Teams, Non Competitive Cheer Classes, Tumbling, Stunting, Private

Camps, Choreography, Team Training and much more,” and Mac’s Cheer is now considered one of the top gyms in the country. \You can read all about it at their web site — www.macscheer. com. Mack and I grew up together in Sumter, and he was simply one of everyone’s favorite people. He graduated from Sumter High in 1979 and University of South Carolina in 1984, where he was a cheerleader. He then became one of the original, high-flying Bud Light Daredevils, which was a groundbreaking and popular halftime act at professional sporting events that ultimately lasted until 1998. Mack was with them for a year, and there’s an old TV news story about them here: http://bit. ly/1LqNpQr. Janet was a cheerleader at the University of Utah, and they’ve been married since 1987. They have three children (ages approximate): Julian, 25; Jessica, 21, and Jackson, 13. Mack’s mother, Deebe, lives in Hartsville. Here’s the whole point of all this background you’re digesting: You should check out the inspirational story that appeared last month on

For all of us who knew Mack growing up in Sumter, it’s a great tribute to a unique man who continues to have a huge, positive impact on generations of young people. As the lead-in to the KSL story notes: “54-year old Mack Hirshberg not only coaches cheerleaders, he

competes with them. This guy has not only stuck it to the aging process, he’s just clocked Father Time. His story gives us all something to cheer about.” Graham Osteen is Editor-At-Large of The Sumter Item. He can be reached at graham@theitem.com.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR BE PART OF SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM

Recent editorials from South Carolina newspapers

The Post and Courier of Charleston Aug. 19

NEEDED: SAFE HOMES FOR CHILDREN Imagine that every student at James Island Charter High School were in need of a foster family. They still would require fewer families than the state needs to serve the 1,400 children who are yet to be placed. But beefing up the foster family rolls is time-consuming and requires additional money. The state Senate’s Department of Social Services Oversight Subcommittee, which quizzed DSS Director Susan Alford on the subject Monday, should convey to their colleagues how important it is to care for the state’s most vulnerable citizens. Children and babies who are in the care of DSS have already experienced trouble. With the shortage of foster families, DSS is hard pressed to fill their needs quickly and efficiently, so the children’s troubles multiply. They are sometimes temporarily placed in hotels and county offices, adding one more confusing and unhappy stop for children. Or they are placed in group homes. A Post and Courier investigative report found that nearly a quarter of the children under 13 years of age who entered the foster care system in 2013 were placed in institutions. The report also revealed a high number of re-

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP ports of suspected abuse. Ms. Alford has begun to address the foster home shortage by shortening the time would-be foster families wait to be approved. It now takes up to nine months. She expects to shorten that to about four months. She also wants to place more children with their family members or friends, but doing that will take increased funding to ensure that those families are adequately supported. As for group homes, Ms. Alford is working toward giving them grades that the public could see so that they would be able to make wise choices for their children. At present, DSS reports publicly the number of suspected abuse cases but does not release information about whether the charges stuck or were determined to be unfounded. The public has a need to know the quality of care children are getting at group homes and institutions. And the children in the custody of the state have a right to a safe, supportive home.

CHALLENGE OF GAY MARRIAGE RULING FUTILE The decision by Gov. Nikki Haley and S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson to launch a futile challenge to a federal appeals court ruling on gay

marriage turned out to be costly for state taxpayers. A little more than a year ago, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the ban on gay marriage in Virginia was unconstitutional. Both South Carolina and North Carolina, as well as West Virginia and Maryland, also are in the 4th District, so that ruling applied to those states, too. Soon after the ruling, four of those states announced they would stop defending challenges to the state’s gaymarriage ban. But Haley and Wilson took the opposite tack, pledging to fight on for South Carolina’s ban. A variety of legal experts said at the time that continuing the fight would be a waste of the state’s time and money. They said the effort was doomed to fail, and they were right. In October, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the 4th Circuit ruling to stand. Then, in late June, the Supreme Court issued its 5-4 ruling that made same-sex marriage legal nationwide. And last week the bill came due for South Carolina. A federal judge ordered Wilson to pay $130,600 in legal fees for a couple who challenged the state’s gay-marriage ban. Judge Richard Gergel also awarded them the full $4,700 they sought in other court costs and fees. The bill covers 390 hours of work by seven attorneys on behalf of the couple. The seven attorneys’ hourly rates ranged from $175 to $400. For politicians who claim to be careful stewards of the state’s resources, this was money down the drain.

I see where bringing down the flag didn’t help make Mr. Baten any happier then he was before. I miss reading your racist opinions. You should listen to the son “Accentuate the Positive and Eliminate the Negative.” You’ve got it backwards. About his letter on 20 Aug 2015. I also was at that poetled town hall meeting. Your comments were nothing new and were the most depressing comments of the evening. You bragged about trying to have a “discussion on racism for a couple of year.” I have been inviting you, and others, to start the discussion. Of course, you haven’t done so because you just like to start something and when others don’t want to play your game, you get upset and say the same thing at another time. At that meeting you also didn’t want to blame parents when their children fail to learn and read by the third grade. Who do you want to blame? The student should be first and the parents second. “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” A teacher can not make a student do something they don’t want to do.

You know that those agencies are not going to respond to you. You don’t respond to questions either. You would find fault with them if they did. I would like to know why you don’t already know the answers to your questions. I can answer, but you won’t like it. Racial demographics of individuals arrested. When you commit the crime you do the time. It is sad that there are “ racial disparities in the rate of arrests.” So what are you doing about it? Same answer applies for your next question, the “racial demographics of cases in our court systems.” What are you doing about that? Have you been in our schools to see why “children are being expelled from elementary schools?” Then again you probably wouldn’t recognize their improper behavior. If you could do something for the young ones maybe they would behave better later on. Are you part of the problem or the solution? Jacqueline K.

JAMES HENRY FOWLES JR. James Henry Fowles Jr., 78, beloved husband and best friend of Carol Knight Fowles, died peacefully in a local hospital on Wednesday, Aug. 12, after a lengthy illness with her by his side. He was born in Columbia on September 12, 1936, and was the son of James Henry Fowles Sr. and Ruth Wellman Fowles. Jimmy grew up in the Shandon community FOWLES on Wheat Street (his mother having bought the house during WWII when his father was in China for three years). His mother was an invalid and Jimmy, the oldest child, was always extremely independent. He enjoyed telling people that for all his schooling, he had only one diploma and degree â&#x20AC;&#x201D; law school. He attended Dreher High School but left midterm his senior year to attend University of South Carolina, where he was a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity. He left college after his sophomore year to join the United States Army, serving in Germany for more than two years with the 498th Combat Engineering Battalion, earning a medal for marksmanship. Upon returning from the Army, he married Carol Cathcart Knight of Sumter on December 21, 1958, in the Church of the Holy Comforter, Sumter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a marriage which lasted more than 56 years. After his junior year in college, Jimmy entered University of South Carolina School of Law, graduating in 1962 and making many lifelong friends. He served as Editor of the Law Review his senior year, was elected to Wig and Robe and was a member of the Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity.

After retirement he went to Jackson, Mississippi, to liquidate the remaining assets of the Jackson Land Bank which had gone bankrupt. He was a member of the American Bar Association, the South Carolina Bar and the Richland County Bar Association. Jimmy was very active in his church, St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church, Congaree in Hopkins, where he served as Senior Warden, Junior Warden, Vestry member, a Delegate to the Diocesan Convention for many years and a faithful member of the Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bible Study Breakfast. His interests were many and varied: including chairman of the first Landmarks Commission, the Scarborough-Hamer Foundation Board, overseeing Kensington Plantation, where he enjoyed being a docent; the Torch Club (president), the Society of Lower Richland, the Horrell Hill Supper Club, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mac Jamesâ&#x20AC;? Memorial Poker Club, the ROMEOs (retired old men eating out), the Palmetto Club, the Heyward Family Association, the St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society and the Columbia Cotillion Club. Jimmy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Popsâ&#x20AC;? to his grandchildren, was a kind gentleman of old school manners and courtliness with high morals, ethical character and integrity. He enjoyed life and wanted everyone else to do the same. Jimmy was an avid genealogist; loved computers, classical music, traveling and cooking; and never saw a gadget he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like.

Rough 2nd half dooms Eagles in 32-12 loss BY EDDIE LITAKER Special To The Sumter Item

head coach Roosevelt Nelson after going 1-9 last season. Sumter opened its season on Friday in a 35-9 loss to York in new head coach Mark Barnes’ debut. The Gamecocks were one of six teams who played in Week Zero. All 12 high school teams in Sumter, Clarendon and Lee counties

SUMMERTON — Seeking to improve on a 1-9 mark in head coach Wayne Farmer’s inaugural season, Scott’s Branch High School’s varsity football team seemed poised to pull a major upset in its season opener on Friday at Spann Stadium. Playing a team in Lake View which FARMER finished as 1A Division II runner-up to Hunter-Kinard-Tyler last season, the Eagles held their own through much of the first half, leading 6-0 after capitalizing on an early fumble recovery and were still tied 6-6 at halftime. Then Lake View’s De’Ante Bridgett returned the opening kickoff of the second half 83 yards for a score and all the momentum fell squarely in the Wild Gators’ corner. Lake View added three more touchdowns, including a 37-yard interception return by Tyshawn McDaniel, before a late Scott’s Branch score cut the Wild Gators’ final victory margin to 32-12. “It was two very different halves,” Farmer said. “In the first half we came out and played. We had one blunder when it was fourth-and-20 that kind of made it turn, got them back in the ball game and if that didn’t happen they punt, we get the ball and you don’t know what might have happened. We’re still a young team. We’ve still got to learn.” The blunder to which Farmer referred came with the Eagles still clinging to their 6-0 lead late in the first half. After the Scott’s Branch defense had forced a fourth-and-20 from the Lake View 19, Carson Rogers dropped deep in punt formation and went down on a running into the kicker call. The penalty resulted in a 15-yard walkoff and, more importantly, an automatic first down. Up until that point, the Wild Gators had been held to minus-2 yards rushing on 14 attempts and one first down. Suddenly, Lake View advanced the ball 66 yards in three plays for its first

Fiers adds no-hitter to resume

No QB choice yet for Spurrier, Gamecocks BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press

Houston pitcher’s gem against Dodgers comes nearly a year after beaning Miami’s Stanton HOUSTON (AP) — Going into this season, Mike Fiers was known more than anything for throwing the fastball that shattered Giancarlo Stanton’s face. Now he’s added something much more positive to his resume — a nohitter for the Houston Astros in a 3-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night. A day after fling-

ing his glove in the air after the final out, Fiers was still enjoying an emotional high. “I prayed for this opportunity to pitch for this organization, to pitch in front of these fans,’’ he said Saturday. “Just the opportunity to play baseball another day. It’s a good feeling.’’ Fiers, acquired with star outfielder

COLUMBIA — Steve Spurrier said South Carolina’s offense improved on Saturday, just not enough to show a clear frontrunner among the four players competing for starting quarterback. The Gamecocks coach said he was happier with the offensive showing in the second stadium scrimmage of fall camp. However, he said Connor Mitch, Perry Orth, Michael Scarnecchia and Lorenzo Nunez didn’t separate themselves in the race. “All the quarterbacks did a lot of good things,’’ Spurrier said. “Shoot, I wished one of them would’ve outplayed the rest. But if you look at the stats, probably pretty similar.’’ South Carolina opens the season Sept. 3 against North Carolina in Charlotte.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Despite being less than two weeks away from the season opener, South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier is not any closer to naming Perry Orth (10) or any of the other four signal-callers as the starting quarterback. Mitch is a third-year sophomore who was expected to take control of

Jason Gore tees off on the second hole during the third round of the Wyndham Championship on Saturday at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C. Gore leads by two strokes over Tiger Woods and two others entering today’s final round.

Gore leads Tiger by 2 at Wyndham BY JOEDY MCCREARY The Associated Press GREENSBORO, N.C. — Tiger Woods couldn’t have asked for much more at his first Wyndham Championship. He’s playing with confidence. His scores show it. And now he’ll play a Sunday round that matters. Woods shot a 2-under 68 in the third round Saturday, leaving him two strokes behind leader and longtime friend Jason Gore in a 3-way tie for second. Gore had a career-best 62 to reach 15-under 195 at Sedgefield Country Club. “I need to go out there tomorrow and make a run and get myself up there and make some birdies,’’ Woods said. “There’s a bunch of guys ... at 13 (under). There’s a whole slew of guys at 12, 11, 10. Anybody can make a run and shoot the score Jason and Jonas (Blixt) did.’’ Woods — whose streak of 28 holes without a bogey ended on the 18th when his 6-foot par putt lipped out — reeled off 10 straight pars before briefly moving within one stroke of Gore with a birdie on the par-3 16th. “I felt very steady from the word `go,’’’ Woods said. Blixt and Scott Brown joined Woods at 13 under. Blixt shot a career-best 62, and Brown had a 66. Former Wyndham winners Webb Simpson (64) and Brandt Snedeker (67) were three strokes back along with Paul Casey (66), Jim Herman (66) and Cameron Percy (67). Woods was poised to make a run at his first win in more than two years — one that would earn him enough points to clinch a spot in the

FedEx Cup playoffs opener next week in New Jersey. Depending on the math, a solo second-place finish also might be enough for Woods, who’s at No. 187. “I think it’s awesome to see him playing well again, to see him playing like Tiger Woods,’’ Gore said, “because that’s what we all want to see.’’ He also moved one step closer to his 80th PGA Tour victory — and first since the 2013 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. Playing the Wyndham for the first time in an effort to hone his game and earn a spot in The Barclays, Woods is attempting to win a tournament in his first try since 1999, when he won the WGC-Cadillac Championship in Spain. For him, this day was about consistently making pars — 15 in all, including a remarkable save on the 10th with a 24-foot putt.

Toyota holds MWR relationship in high regard BY JENNA FRYER The Associated Press BRISTOL, Tenn. — Toyota has a strong appreciation for its long relationship with Michael Waltrip and was committed to backing the team long into the future. Michael Waltrip Racing was Toyota’s flagship team when the manufacturer entered the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2007, and the relationship actually went back three years prior to when Darrell Waltrip fielded Toyotas in the Truck Series. MWR will cease operations at the end of the season, ending Waltrip’s 9-year effort to build a top race team. “When Michael put his name on Toyotas, and DW in the trucks before that, it was a big deal,’’ said Ed Laukes, vice president of marketing, performance and guest experience at Toyota Motor Sales USA. “So for us, we wanted to make sure that we did everything in our power to support that team through thick and thin. And we stayed with them through thick and thin.’’ MWR’s run was not always smooth. Waltrip got caught with jet fuel in his engine before their debut Daytona 500 in 2007, and the three-car team struggled that entire year to

Despite that, Toyota said it was firmly behind MWR in the past and in the future. make races. Midway through the season, Waltrip sold half his stake in the organization to Rob Kauffman, who has spent his own money the last eight years to build MWR. But Kauffman decided it was no longer financially viable to continue spending money on MWR, and he’s moving his investment next year to Chip Ganassi Racing. That led to the decision to close MWR at the end of the year.

EAGLES FROM PAGE B1 The teams swapped scores in the fourth as Bridgett scampered 39 yards for a third touchdown before Marqus House got the Eagles on the board one final time with a 4-yard scoring run set up by another Wild Gator fumble. “Now we’ve got to grow on this one,” Farmer said. “We’ve got to learn how to finish the drill, play two halves, and even if we have some adversity we’ve got to find a way to fight through it. We’ve got to keep getting in shape and working.” Farmer was pleased with the effort he saw from his defense, especially in the first half. “We just got tired. We got tired a little bit,” Farmer said. “In the first half they played great. The second half we got a little tired, things went down and we dropped our heads a little bit, but as a whole we’re proud of the kids. They may not see it, but we’ll grow and we’ll be fine before it’s over with. Offensively, we’ve got to keep going, get more drives going and keep the defense off the field.

points of the night. Randall Washington ran three yards on first down before an unusual play in which a fumble ended up getting booted down the field for a 27-yard gain as both teams went diving unsuccessfully after the ball on multiple occasions. Bridgett then broke down the right sideline for a 36-yard scoring scamper to tie the score at 6-6 with 2:10 left in the half. The Eagles’ first-half score came on a 1-yard Marquise Thomas run up the middle, capping a 12play, 30-yard drive. Most of the yardage, with the exception of a 5-yard offside penalty against Lake View and a 7-yard completion from Amonte Brown to Maliq Green, came on the ground. The pass play came on a third-and-5 to keep the drive alive, setting up eight consecutive run plays ending in Thomas’ touchdown run around left end. After Bridgett’s kick return to open the second half, a Washington conversion run made the score 14-6. Two more third-quarter scores, an 11-yard Duane Nichols quarterback scamper with 3:11 remaining and McDaniels’ interception return just three plays later, left the Eagles suddenly staring at a 26-6 deficit heading into the final quarter.

USC FROM PAGE B1 the job from last year’s senior record-setter Dylan Thompson. But Mitch threw two interceptions and didn’t have a touchdown in the closed session. The biggest offensive play came from tailback Brandon Wilds, who broke off a 70-yard TD run. The offense produced five touchdowns and a field goal — a significant improvement from its 2-touchdown, one field goal last week in a scrimmage open to fans. Spurrier kept out fans and media for Saturday’s workout. Mitch was 5 for 10 passing for 71 yards, junior Orth was 5 of 10 for 56 yards, redshirt freshman Scarnecchia was 6 for 10 for 58 yards and true freshman Nunez was 3 of 3 for 44 yards. Spurrier said earlier in the week that the offense would have a place for Nunez this fall. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Nunez is more of a dual-threat quarterback who combined for 1,996 yards running and throwing his senior season at Harrison High in Kennesaw, Georgia. Spurrier also said he would begin paring down the 4-way competition to better prepare the starter and prime backup for when the Gamecocks open against the Tar Heels at the Carolina Panthers’ Bank of America Stadium. Apparently, the process of finding a starting quarterback has taken longer than planned by Spurrier. He had complained a week ago the passers took too long to release the ball, leading to sacks, overthrows and interceptions. Spurrier liked what he saw this time around. “Most of the time, they took the ball and threw it in there,’’ he said. “Most of the time, our guys caught it. We had a couple of drops and missed a couple of open guys. But overall, I think they showed a lot of improvement.’’ Wilds, a fifth-year senior, thought it was obvious why the offense perked up: “We ran the ball,’’ he said, smiling. Wilds finished with 86 yards on four rushes, including his long burst through the middle of the line for the touchdown. He said the experience on the offensive line combined with a group of proven running backs like himself, senior Shon Carson and sophomore David Williams means South Carolina can run the ball effectively throughout a game. Carson and Williams each had touchdown runs in the scrimmage. “That’s a key for success, in my book,’’ he said. Still, someone has to play quarterback. Spurrier said joking he might put all four of his passers out there on the first play, just to confuse everybody. It’s no joke that star receiver Pharoh Cooper came to camp as the South Carolina with the most career passing yards in college. “It would be easy for all of us to say, ‘Hey, this is the guy and let’s go,’’’ Spurrier said. “But then you’ve got to be fair and competing. But we’ll know something maybe the middle of this coming week.’’

Legal showdown looms over NCAA’s ban on paying athletes BY RAY HENRY The Associated Press ATLANTA — Fresh off a ruling that Northwestern University football players can’t form a union, the NCAA is about to face a more direct challenge to its longstanding policy of not letting schools pay athletes like they’re professionals. A federal judge who issued a landmark decision against the NCAA last year is considering whether to grant class-action status to lawsuits by current and former college athletes seeking to abolish the NCAA’s prohibition against competitively paying players. Taken together, the cases carry billion-dollar implications and hinge, essentially, on whether the concepts of amateur athleticism and economic competition can co-exist. The NCAA says its model sets a level playing field among schools and their teams. But its business model requires collusion, and critics have long decried it for hampering the competition normally considered healthy in a free market. “These are just educational institutions who have decided to go into a business,’’ said Jeffrey Kessler, an attorney representing former Clemson football player Martin Jenkins and two others. He has also represented labor unions for professional athletes. “That’s perfectly lawful, but you don’t get to conspire not to pay your workers anything in that business.’’ The Jenkins case, by far the biggest threat to the status quo, aims to strike down any compensation limits for players and let a competitive market emerge. “I think that everyone sees this is completely in opposition to any model of college sports as we’ve ever known,’’ NCAA President Mark Emmert said late last year. Another lawsuit brought by former West Virginia Uni-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Former Clemson defensive back Martin Jenkins, left, has filed lawsuits against the NCAA challenging rules against paying players. versity running back Shawne Alston seeks to allow conferences to set their own rules for paying players, and then compete against rival conferences to recruit athletes. The lawsuits may already be having an effect. After years of debate and mounting legal pressure, the NCAA’s dominant conferences agreed to start paying their players the difference between what they receive in scholarships and what it

actually costs to attend a school, one of the goals in both cases. Those payments begin this month. Big athletic conferences are already squeamish about even that change. The powerful Southeastern Conference proposed a rule that would force schools to inform the NCAA if their athletes get a stipend that’s bigger than the costs of attendance the schools report to the U.S. Department of Edu-

cation. While SEC officials said the rule would help maintain transparency, economists critical of the NCAA saw it as a rule designed to deter market competition. The proposal was rejected. Outside of college athletics, economic competition is considered good for society. Prices drop when companies compete to sell laptops, coffee and cars. When firms compete to hire the best workers, wages rise.

Richt still undecided on Georgia quarterback ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Georgia coach Mark Richt is eager to pick a starting quarterback. He just hasn’t seen enough from the three contenders to make a decision. After the Bulldogs held their second scrimmage of preseason camp on Saturday, Richt said there is still no front-runner in the battle between third-year sophomore Brice Ramsey,

junior Greyson Lambert and junior Faton Bauta. Richt said he’s starting to think RICHT the quarterback battle will extend into the season. “I’d like to know and have some peace about it; when I make a big decision, I like to have peace,’’ he said. “I don’t have that right now.’’

Georgia, considered one of the top contenders in the Southeastern Conference and likely to be in the Top 10 when The Associated Press rankings are released on Sunday, opens at home Sept. 5 against Louisiana Monroe. “I’m a patient guy, but the clock is ticking,’’ Richt said. “I got a feeling it will play out in the games.’’ The coach said he would prefer not to rotate his quar-

terbacks once the season begins, and he’s always been sensitive making a quarterback change during the games after playing the position himself in college. Whatever the case, it’s clear that no one is standing out as the clear-cut favorite. Ramsey was the backup a year ago behind Hutson Mason, while Lambert is a transfer from Virginia.

FIERS FROM PAGE B1 Carlos Gomez by the AL Westleading Astros from Milwaukee at last month’s trade deadline, had never thrown a complete game in 58 starts over five seasons. The 30-year-old righty threw 134 pitches to blank the top team in the NL West. With a 22-28 career record, Fiers has gone through many ups and downs in the majors. He had a hard time last September after beaning Stanton, putting the NL leader in home runs and RBIs out for the rest of the season with multiple facial fractures and extensive dental damage. “I talked to Stanton after that incident,’’ Fiers said. “He was really a professional guy. He understands this game. We talked about the incident, and I told him how sorry I was.’’ “Things like that happen. It was not anything intentional. He knew that, I knew that,’’ he said. Gomez said Fiers was frustrated about the beaning. “They know he did not mean that,’’ Gomez said Friday night. “He’s a good guy and great person. I don’t think he’d want to hurt anybody. I don’t think any pitcher tries to hit anybody in the face, even if you don’t like him. When you get hit like that, myself I get hit many times in my head and I’m not upset about this. You just move forward.’’ Fiers said that’s what he did. “You can’t let one moment like that affect your career,’’ Fiers said. “It was very tough to get over that. Even now, I still think about it all the time. A moment like that never really goes away.’’ “My game plan when I pitch is to pitch everywhere. I have to throw in. I have to throw away. I have to mix it up. Big league hitters are too good to sit in one away zone and try to get them out. You have to keep them honest. You have to pitch inside. One ball got away and hit him, but there was no intent,’’ he said. The way he pitched kept the Dodgers off-balance throughout the night, with Fiers striking out 10 and retiring the final 21 batters. Late in the game, pictures surfaced online claiming that Fiers had an illegal substance on his glove. Fiers said he had not been contacted by MLB. “I mean you can try to pick out a lot of things through a lot of games,’’ Fiers said. “I don’t know what they are talking about. It could be a different lighting or camera angle or a lot of things. I don’t know.’’ Fiers said he hadn’t moved his arm too much since going the distance for the first time. He said he planned to relax it and have fun with his teammates Saturday. “I have always thought of myself as a big league pitcher, and I thought of myself as being one to this point,’’ Fiers said. “It’s a dream to throw a no-hitter. It happened last night.’’

Chicago Cub Miguel Montero, left, celebrates with Jorge Soler after hitting a solo home run in the eighth inning of Saturday’s 9-7 victory over Atlanta in Chicago.

Montero, Soler HRs doom Braves Back-to-back jacks by Cubs duo in 8th paves way for comeback win BY MATT CARLSON The Associated Press CHICAGO — Atlanta Braves switch-hitter Nick Swisher took advantage of the breezy conditions at Wrigley Field on Saturday. But so did the home team. Miguel Montero and Jorge Soler broke a tie with backto-back solo homers to start the eighth inning, and the Chicago Cubs overcame homers from both sides of the plate by Swisher in a 9-7, comeback win over the Braves — their third straight. Montero and Soler both lofted balls into the left field

basket off former Cub Edwin Jackson (2-2), sending Atlanta to its sixth straight loss. Swisher homered from both sides of the plate in a game for a record-tying 14th time to drive in four runs as he made his first start, in left field, since last Monday. “The bats kind of came alive tonight,” Swisher said. “It’s just a tough loss, man. Haven’t been going well for us as of late. “Individually I guess it was a good day, but you want to stop that losing streak.” Batting left-handed, Swisher lofted a wind-blown, two-run shot to left field off Cubs starter Dan Haren in the second. Hitting righthanded against Travis Wood, he lined a two-run

blast to left to cap a five-run rally that put Atlanta ahead 7-3 in the fifth. He tied the Yankees’ Mark Teixeira, who homered right- and left-handed most recently in a game on July 31 against the White Sox. Swisher was acquired from Cleveland on Aug. 7. “Tex beat my record earlier,” Swisher said. “I had to catch up to him again. I guess it’s just one of those lucky things. Swing hard in case you hit it, I guess.” Cubs rookie Addison Russell hit a solo shot in the sixth to tie the game at 7. The homer withstood a video review after a fan reached over the wall trying to catch the ball. Anthony Rizzo also went deep for Chicago and had two RBIs. Dexter Fowler had

three hits, including a triple, and Kris Bryant knocked in two runs with a double. A steady southeast wind was blowing across Wrigley Field, from the right field corner to left. It helped both teams, but aided the Cubs a little more. “Even the two balls that Jackson gave up for home runs, they were fly balls,” Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. “They were fly balls that just kept carrying.” But the wind blew the same way for both teams, Cubs manager Joe Maddon noted. “I’m not going to try to qualify the homers,” Maddon said. “They’re homers, that’s the way the ballpark plays. You’ve got to hit it, too. You’ve got to put it in the air. It’s a different kind of ballpark.”

MLB ROUNDUP

Marte’s walk-off blast lifts Bucs past Giants 3-2 PITTSBURGH — Starling Marte hit a solo home run off George Kontos with two outs in the ninth inning, lifting the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. MARTE Jung Ho Kang hit a pair of solo homers for the Pirates in the matchup of playoff contenders. Marte sent the first pitch he saw from Kontos (2-2) into the sun-drenched seats in left field for his second ca-

reer walkoff hit. Mark Melancon (3-1) needed six pitches to get through the top of the ninth to set up Marte’s winner. Pittsburgh’s bullpen has won 18 straight decisions, the longest streak in the majors since 1909. San Francisco starter Mike Leake allowed one hit in six innings but was removed for a pinch hitter with the tying run on third and one out in the seventh. Pittsburgh starter Gerrit Cole surrendered one run on three hits in seven innings, walking three and striking out eight.

YANKEES 6 INDIANS 2 NEW YORK — Luis Severino earned his first major league win, getting all the support he needed in the first inning on a pair of home runs from Brett Gardner and Brian McCann as the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 6-2. Making his fourth career start, the 21-year-old Severino (1-2) gave up a 1-out homer in the first to fellow rookie Francisco Lindor, but he yielded only two singles and four walks in the remainder of his six gritty

What’s on the Fall Feast menu? Shrimp, crab, froglegs, gator, ‘cue, football, music ... BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com

orget moderation when it comes to Sumter Green’s Fall Feast. You won’t be able to resist the dozens of dishes offered by some of the area’s best chefs, caterers and home cooks, Lynn Kennedy says. As chairwoman of Sumter Green, she’s attended — and organized — the much anticipated event for more than a decade. While the purpose of the event held at the University of South Carolina Sumter is to raise funds for Sumter Green, for guests it’s a chance to meet friends, try foods that usually aren’t readily available in Sumter and for many parents, enjoy a night out without the kids. Fall Feast is an adults-only celebration. It may seem early to be buying tickets for the 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 17 event, but Kennedy said they’re going fast. “We’re going to be inside and outside at the Nettles Building, so Fall Feast will go on, rain or shine,” she said. “We’ve got 4-Way Stop as our band again this year. They’ll be playing everything from rock ‘n’ roll and ‘80s music to beach music.” In addition to the music and food, beverages — iced tea, water, Coca-Cola® products, beer and wine — will be served, Kennedy said, “Our presenting sponsor, FTC, will be showing the Clemson-Louisville football game in their booth. They’ll also have ‘Entertainment with Jane’ and serve food cooked by Jonathan Teseniar. Our theme this year is football, so we’re encouraging people to wear their team colors, whether it’s pro, college, high school or whatever. Fall Feast is very casual.” She said the food is prepared by local chefs, caterers and “home” cooks, all volunteers who either furnish the food themselves or cook food donated by sponsors. The Sumter Fire and Police departments, for example, are known for their grilling and frying. Robert Bradley will offer Bradley’s Market’s famous boiled peanuts, Jonathan

Sumter Green Fall Feast always sells out of tickets. The event for adults will feature around 40 different food stations this year. Flinchum will be cooking duck; Sandi Jones will have her Kickin’ Collards, and Kelly Jackson, Dale Atkinson and Jamie Campbell will cook “anything from rattlesnake to frog legs,” Kennedy said. “Santee Automotive LLC and Holly Gaughf’s Field of Dreams will provide the shrimp, and Holly will cook them. Covenant Place’s chefs will be making sushi; Chip Bracalente will cook the fried oysters; Sharon Thames will serve funnel cakes; (Sumter School District Superintendent) Frank Baker will cook goat; Bishopville’s Get Down Pound will have sweet baked goods.” The Young Professionals of Sumter (YPS) will also have a booth, as will Sertoma club, On the Rocks, Outback, Logan’s Roadhouse, Willie Sue’s, Marco’s, Kennedy said. Other menu items include crab legs, fish, gator, chicken bog, barbecue, baked beans, griddle pound cake and more. “Some of the cooks will surprise us with their dishes,” Kennedy said, adding “We appreciate all our cooks and food

providers. Thanks to them, almost 100 percent of the proceeds will go to Sumter Green. Fall Feast has a lot of great partners. If anyone is interested in participating, they can call me at (803) 774-1659. “The best thing about Fall Feast is that everyone has such a good time,” she said, adding that “the fact that it’s all-inclusive is great, too. You just buy your entrance tickets, and you can eat or drink anything there.” One caveat — if you’re too late arriving, “You might get some” of a particular dish — or you might not, depending on how hungry the crowd is on Thursday, Sept. 17. Tickets for Sumter Green Fall Feast are $30 in advance, $40 at the door, although it’s doubtful any will be left on the day of the event. Get advance tickets at Danny’s Trophy Shop (cash only) or at the Swan Lake Visitors Center (cash or major credit card). Identification is required. Adults only. No strollers are permitted.

members host a plant sale. Lynn Kennedy, chairwoman of the group, said, “We do the fundraisers to support our beautification projects. It’s very expensive to maintain these green spaces. It costs about $40,000 a year. That includes keeping the signs looking good, paying for water and electricity, flowers and plants and general maintenance. We have to replace two of the signs this year, and they are very expensive.” Sumter Green installed sprinklers at each site, which was a considerable expense, she said. “Fortunately, we have sponsors

Since Katrina, better response helps reconnect pets, people BY SUE MANNING The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Outside the nearly 2,000 human fatalities from Hurricane Katrina, the disaster displaced or killed hundreds of thousands of dogs, cats and other animals at a time when rescues focused on people and pets were left behind. “So many animals disappeared. Many died outright,” said Francis Battista, cofounder of Best Friends Animal Society. “A lot of them were scooped up and didn’t make it into any official rescue system.” Since the storm struck on Aug. 29, 2005, laws have changed how animal welfare groups and emergency responders approach pet rescues. They also have received training to better catalog animals they sweep from wildfires, earthquakes, flooding or tornadoes to ensure people reconnect with the pets they consider family. During Katrina, nearly half the people who needed rescue refused to go without their pets, and first responders would not take them — even service animals. Now, U.S. law requires every Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster plan to include a way to evacuate pets. The lessons from Katrina helped prevent Hurricane Sandy, which devastated the Jersey shore in 2012, from becoming catastrophic for pets, said Dick Green, senior director of disaster response for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Workers emptied shelters closest to the storm’s path

This 2005 photo provided by Best Friends Animal Society New Orleans shows two dogs perched on the edge of a boat that had been parked in a driveway on its trailer and now was almost completely underwater after Hurricane Katrina. Since the storm struck on Aug. 29, 2005, laws have changed how animal welfare groups and emergency responders approach pet rescues. They also have received training to better catalog rescued animals. and brought in veterinarians, food and supplies, losing “very few animals,” said Green, who was part of the task force handling animal evacuations. Since Katrina, government agencies and animal welfare groups have improved coordination efforts to better organize disaster response. Groups such as the ASPCA also have made changes during rescues and while bringing animals into emergency

shelters to increase the likelihood of reuniting people and pets, including clearly identifying where animals were found and describing their looks. Workers now ensure critical paperwork stays with pets at evacuation facilities and post photos and information online. But the most important tool for a reunion is microchipping, groups say. “Simply put, it’s their ticket home,” Green said.

That’s something a Labrador mix named Archie, a cat named Buddah and a mutt named Celine are still waiting for. They were rescued separately from Katrina and still live at Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah, after adoptions didn’t work out. Archie, who tends to make a mess inside, and Celine, who was adopted but found as a stray a few years later, both can’t live with other dogs, Best Friends spokeswoman

Barbara Williamson said. And Buddah tends to bully other cats. They still need homes, but there was a happy ending for Celeste Marshall, a photographer from New Orleans who was overseas when Katrina struck. A neighbor cared for Mr. Gatsby, her 9-year-old tabby, while she stayed with friends in New York. “I was sick without my cat,” Marshall said after learning she couldn’t return home. The Red Cross suggested she contact the ASPCA. “What are they going to do — airlift him back?” she asked the organization. “But that’s exactly what they did,” flying the cat from her friend’s home to Marshall in New York. In a sign of the improved teamwork between animal welfare agencies and federal responders, representatives got training on earthquake response this year in Southern California. A meeting in Albany, New York, followed to discuss the drill and how to buy half a million shelter units for animals. Last month, they gathered in Washington, D.C., to hash out a plan for disasters that would overwhelm agencies, such as a massive earthquake. “Ten years ago, we never would have gotten into this room,” said Green of the ASPCA. “We have made such incredible strides.” The last phase is scheduled next week in Louisiana, where experts will talk about the progress made in animal disaster response since Katrina and what pet owners can do to make sure their animals are safe from the next storm.

Sumter gets new Coca-Cola plant in 1923

eflections reports on the opening of a modern bottling plant built by Coca-Cola®. on the corner of Council and West Liberty streets in 1920. This issue deals primarily with the buildings that housed this enterprise and does not address the complete history of the plant in the Sumter community. Coca-Cola played an important role in the history of Sumter County, as John Crosswell became one of the first men to own a Coca-Cola bottling plant in South Carolina. Sammy Way In 1901, REFLECTIONS this business was set up near the Crosswell warehouse in a building later occupied by Lawson Coffee Co. In 1914, the firm was purchased by Ed Cole, who operated it until 1919, when it was purchased by A.T. Heath Sr., who later moved the plant to its new quarters at the corner of West Liberty and Council streets. In 1929, the company took over the entire building, and during 1937-38, the plant was remodeled and became one of the most modern bottling concerns of its time. Information used in preparing this article was taken from articles published in The Sumter Item on May 22, 1920, and June 14, 1937. In 1920 it was noted that “the Carolina Coca-Cola Bottling Company has put into operation its new and up-todate plant, situated at the corner of Council and Liberty streets. This new plant, just completed, the building costing over $30,000, and the new machinery being of the most modern type. The location is an excellent one for the purpose and the new building, with its attractive appearance, adding much to the looks of this new business section. “This plant has the largest capacity of any bottling company in the state, and a tour through the building is well worth the time spent for the information that can be gained. It is interesting to go through the plant and follow the course of a bottle. First the dirty bottles are brought in by trucks and unloaded in the back part of the plant where they are placed on a sterilizing machine, which is known as a Miller-Hydro. This machine contains a 4 percent solution of caustic soda in water. This solution is heated in the machine to a temperature of 135 degrees. Each bottle passes through this machine on an endless chain and receives 20-gallons of the liquid at a pressure of 30 pounds, the solution being pumped into the bottles by centrifugal pumps. The bottle comes out of this into cold water to reduce the temperature of the bottle. Next the bottle is conveyed on an endless chain to the syruping machine. Each bottle receives a uniform amount of Coca-Cola syrup. From this point it goes to a filling head, and each bottle is filled with a uniform amount of carbonic acid

This machine fills 105 bottles per minute. The next step is the crowning machine which crowns 105 bottles per minute. “The full bottles are then conveyed to the rear of the bottling room, where each bottle is inspected over electric lights. From here they go to the stock room on roller conveyors and are then ready for loading on the trucks for delivery. The company operates its own ice plant to reduce the temperature of the water in order to get a uniform carbonation. All of the Coca-Cola syrup is handled in glass-iron jars and is conveyed to the machines through block tinpipe. This assures a sanitary condition. The company uses five 2 1/2–ton Mack trucks and one Reo truck for the delivery of their products in Sumter and surrounding territory. “Carolina Coca-Cola Bottling is a local corporation with a capitalization of $500,000. It has branch plants in Bishopville, Camden, Lancaster and Chester. The general offices are located in Sumter. The officers of the company are: A.T. Heath, president; J.D. Benham, vice president; M.S. Boykin, treasurer; and Burgess West, advertising manager. W.W. Andrews is the manager of the local plant.” In January of 1937 it was

In addition to the work being done on the building several pieces of new machinery are being added. Among these additions are a freight elevator and an electric inspecting machine which employs an electric eye. “The entire building has been remodeled, exterior and interior; nothing has been overlooked in the effort to make the plant the last word in beauty and modernity. From the handsome Spanish-type cream stucco outside finish to the latest development in air-conditioning equipment, the plant is an architect’s dream.”

In November of 1960 it was announced that Coca-Cola would begin construction on a new building to be located on six and one half acres at the intersection of Florence and Lake City highways. In 1967, the building that once housed the Coca-Cola plant on West Liberty Street was demolished. Reach Item Archivist Sammy Way at waysammy@ yahoo.com or (803) 774-1294.

Playing without the services of Trembley, lanky center, and Danny McKiever, a guard, who were confined to bed, the birds fell behind at the stat of the game, then rose up and shoved the Blue Devils all over the court. Bill Gordon was in perfect form and the lanky lad, playing center in place of Trembley, hit the basket time after time for a total of 16 points. Randy Bradham and Pap Propst were next in line with 8 and 7 points respectively. • Many tobacco beds have been planted in the tobacco growing sections of Sumter and adjoining counties.

The shooting started at daylight, around 6:15 a.m., and continued to 7 a.m. The firing extended from Liberty Street to the Main Street overpass. Police Chief Clarence Kirkland has pointed out that many businessmen in the area have complained that the pigeons have been contaminating buildings.

Many of the birds, he said, apparently are diseased and have been dying on ledges of the buildings. • Bad sidewalks, inadequate street lighting and vacant houses that are deteriorating are some of the problems encountered by beautification and improvement workers when they surveyed Ward 2-A. This ward is that area extending west of North Main Street to Swan Lake Drive and lying between Liberty and Calhoun streets.

Steve Anthony from Palmetto State Sign Installers polishes the new South State Bank sign at its new location on Broad Street. South State took over the Bank of America branches in Sumter.

South State Bank enters Sumter market BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com

s of Monday, Aug. 24, there will be a new bank in the Sumter market, but it is one that many South Carolinians are probably already familiar with. Sumterites will find that in the morning, the Bank of America branches at 1141 Broad St. and 670 W. Liberty St. have joined the South State Bank system. “We are extremely excited to be entering the Sumter market,” said South State Bank Regional Vice President Montague Laffite on Aug. 13. “Many of you know our bank has been around for over 70 years and we have over 119 locations. “Sumter is a market we are not currently in, so for us to be able to enter the Sumter market and bring our community bank model to that community is just really exciting for us.” South State Bank is the largest bank to have its corporate headquarters in South Carolina, Laffite said, with those headquarters located in Columbia.

“That is something that we are very proud of, and it allows us the opportunity to serve the customers and the businesses of the state of South Carolina very well,” he said. South State Bank has all the traditional retail banking services customers are using to having available, Laffite said. “One of the things we are real proud of is we have a sophisticated commercial lending platform and we have a community-based banking model where we empower our local bankers to make local decisions,” he said. “We are excited about bringing a full-scale, retail and commercial bank into Sumter. “Not only that, we have investment options and mortgage lending options, trust and estate planning that complements the traditional retail and commercial bank platform.” Many of the same people who worked at the Bank of America branches will still serve in the Sumter branches, he said. Laffite said South State Bank took possession of the Sumter branches Friday. “It is a really interesting situation

because on Friday they will close as Bank of America, and Monday morning they open up as South State Bank Offices,” he said. “It is an incredibly detailed transition.” He said South State Bank and Bank of America are proud of the efforts they have put into making the transition as easy as possible for customers. “You are talking about transitioning thousands of accounts, and obviously those accounts are very private and personal to each and every individual customer,” he said. “There is a very sophisticated IT component to this, and at both banks we have worked very hard to make this a seamless and smooth transition.” Laffite said customers whose accounts are transitioning over to South State Bank should have received a

welcome packet in the mail to help walk them through all of the anticipated changes. He said the packets have a list of numbers customers can call if they have concerns. He said the bank’s call center will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today to take calls from any customers who have questions. He recommended customers with questions call 1 (800) 277-2175, or visit www.southstatebank.com. He said he would like to see customers come in and visit as well. “We sure want to invite those customers to visit our branches following the conversion and what we expect them to see is a lot of the same familiar faces just operating under a different name,” he said. Lafitte said South State bank has six offices in the Midlands, including Lexington, Columbia, Florence, Lake City and Orangeburg. As part of the expansion they will also be in Hartsville, he said. “We have 119 locations, primarily in South Carolina, and we are adding 13 of the Bank of America offices and that will bring us up to 132 offices, with a few in North Carolina and a few in Georgia,” he said.

First deer hunt of season full of promise

t’s a pretty big day in my life. On Aug. 23, 1980, I got married to my lovely bride, Sherri; that’s somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 years ago, so let me wish my “lovely bride” a happy anniversary. Even after 35 years, she’s still the one for me. That said, deer season opened last Saturday for bowhunters, and I was one of the ones that ventured out to try my hand. I guess I should have just stayed home. Well, not really. You see, as I’ve stated more times than I care to remember, it’s not about harvesting a deer, dove, duck, turkey or whatever I’m hunting, it is more about the fact that I’m out “amongst ‘em”. I had a wonderful time. I started off in the same stand that I finished off in last year, the little clover patch. This year it’s sandwiched between a bedding area and a nice, big patch of soybeans. In fact, the entire eastern edge of our lease is planted in beans this year. The deer should be coming through our place, one after the other, heading into the beans to

browse. While the trail cameras were showing some activity, almost all of it was from midnight to about 5:45 Earle a.m. I would Woodward hazard to AFIELD & guess that it had more to AFLOAT do with the heat of the day than hunting pressure, given that hunting season was less than 24 hours old. If I were wearing a fur coat and daytime temperatures were hovering in the 90s and above, I too would probably do my grocery shopping during the early morning hours after it cooled down and before the sun could heat it back up the next morning. I sat in the ground blind and studied the surroundings for the better part of two hours, sweat running down my cheeks, around my neck, down my back, puddling in my seat before running down my legs and into my snake boots, which did a little slosh-

ing as I walked out later. I saw a grand total of one squirrel and two cardinals. I left when it got too dark to be able to distinguish antlers from ears. I was not all that disappointed, I had gotten out of the house, while hot, it wasn’t unbearable, and by the time I made it back home, I was relaxed and happy. It was going to be a long season, and I knew I’d have plenty of chances. On Monday afternoon, I picked another spot; I call it the Magnolia Tree, because it sits on an old house spot that sports a huge magnolia. A good look at Google Earth convinced me to utilize the spot. On the eastern side is a small soybean field. The woods around the field run about 60-70 yards wide before running into a beaver pond — well it’s a pond when you have some rain; right now, it’s just an open dry spot. There is a similar ring of trees on the far side on the “pond.” I walked the entire eastern side last January, after the season ended, and found a rub

line made up of trees the size of my wrist and bigger and the area of heaviest concentration was right where the soybeans cut into the ring of trees and created sort of a choke point at the magnolia tree. The deer would almost have to walk past me to get to anywhere on our lease. Trail camera photos showed several does and a smaller 7 point buck, still in velvet, walking back and forth between my ground blind and the magnolia tree, a distance of about 20 yards; perfect! These deer were actually present during a time that was huntable, say around 8:15 in the evening. So I sat down in the ground blind a little after 6 p.m. and began the wait. Around 7 p.m. a slight drizzle started, but instead of cooling off the air temperature, it increase the humidity by 100 fold; I was pouring sweat. A couple of squirrels worked over the trees in front of me, I suppose feasting on the still green acorns in a large white oak tree. About 8:15 I heard it, the unmistakable sound of a deer

snorting. For those that haven’t experienced it, if a deer smells something that it doesn’t like, it will forcibly expel air through its nostrils, almost like a powerful sneeze. This snort can be heard for long distances and it warns every deer for miles around that something just isn’t quite right. I promise you, that if it happens to you and it’s within 50 yards of you when it happens, you’ll know it at once, and when the hair lays back down on the back of your neck, you’ll remember that sound forever. I believe that most snorts come from does, although I have no proof, just experience at being snorted at. Anyway, I now know that there are deer in the area and that I’ll have to hunt his spot on a different wind to cut down on my chances of being busted. It was still a great evening, and there are many more to come. I think instead of hunting this weekend, I’ll do something with my lovely bride. Hey, she’s earned it. She’s put up with my hunting for 35 years; I can at least stay home on our anniversary.

DNR partners for increased monitoring of South Carolina flounder BY S.C. DNR A group of flatfish easily recognized by their characteristic shape, flounder rank among the top three fish pursued by South Carolina’s recreational saltwater anglers. Its popularity as table fare has made flounder an important fish recreationally, commercially, and even culturally, making the health of the fishery a high priority for S.C. Department of Natural Resources. In recent years, some commercial and recreational fishermen have voiced concerns to DNR officials about the status of South Carolina’s flounder populations. As a result, in addition to routine monitoring efforts, DNR biologists are undertaking a concerted effort to better track the movement, abundance, and population trends of flounder in South Carolina. Findings from this work will help inform long-term management strategies developed with the help of partner organizations such as the Coastal Conservation Association. “Recreational fishermen from across the state have been reporting a noticeable change in the flounder population for several years now and many believe that an adjustment in management measures is warranted,” said Scott Whitaker, Executive Director of Coastal Conservation Association South Carolina. “Some of the state’s latest data assessments even in-

BY S.C. DNR

Southern flounder numbers have declined in the SCDNR trammel net survey over the last 20 years. A separate analysis of SEAMAP data suggests a similar decline in flounder numbers, which is most pronounced around Charleston Harbor. dicate that recreational anglers are catching two flounder or less daily in parts of the state,” Whitaker said. “CCA SC has been and will continue to work very closely with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources to address this important issue.” One component of this research effort is a study focusing on the prevalence of gigging, a popular method of catching flounder that involves the use of a single- or multi-pronged spear, or gig. Gigging typically takes place at night, when bottom-dwelling

flounder are easier to spot with the aid of high-powered lights. In 2006 and 2009, when the last surveys of the gig fishery took place, giggers harvested more than half of the annual flounder catch. The new survey will help researchers determine if that proportion has changed. “This year, for the months of June through September, we will be visiting boat landings at night in all coastal counties to interview gigging parties,” said DNR biologist Brad Floyd. “We’ll be observing catch and asking anglers questions about their

gigging experiences.” Another research team has recently begun work to fit flounder with acoustic tags, small devices that transmit signals, or “pings,” to acoustic receivers in the water. These tags will allow biologists to track flounder movement throughout South Carolina’s waterways, which is not well understood, as well as the natural causes and rate of death for flounder species. A high-value reward will encourage fishermen to return acoustic tags they find in flounder, which will provide information about flounder mortality due to fishing versus natural causes. The cooperation and input of South Carolina anglers will be critical to the success of these research projects. Sharing your experiences will help researchers better understand fluctuations in flounder populations - and in the long run, ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy this prized fishery. “Flounder is certainly one of the most popular recreational fish species in South Carolina and every effort needs to be made to manage our population wisely. Coastal Conservation Association will be working closely with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources in developing recommendations regarding flounder management next year,” said Mike Able, Chairman, CCA South Carolina Government Relations Committee.

FISHING REPORTS Santee Cooper System Catfish: Slow. Try drifting and anchoring with cut bait. Largemouth bass: Very slow. If anglers are willing to put in a lot of time fish may be catchable around cypress trees, but there is no easy pattern right now. Many fish are probably out deeper following bait schools where they are more difficult to target. In the Santee and Cooper Rivers there is better bass fishing right now. Lake Wateree Largemouth Bass: Fair to good. The deep bite on Lake Wateree is pretty good right now. Fish around ledges, humps and points with deep water nearby. The best action is coming on jigs and Carolina rigs, but it’s worth throwing deep-diving crankbaits, too. Don’t rule out dock fishing in the summer, but target docks that are either in deep water (15 or more feet) or at least close to it. Docks near creek channels can be particularly productive. Lake Greenwood Largemouth Bass: Slow to fair. Fishing has gotten pretty tough on Lake Greenwood, including the deep bite which is not as good as it was a few weeks ago. The best pattern may be fishing shallow early in the morning around bream beds and with topwater lures/ floating worms around the sea walls. Later in the day try fishing worms around brushpiles or flipping docks.

Lake Monticello Catfish: Fair to good. The big fish bite is starting to get a bit more predictable, but with another wave of fish still likely to spawn it may not get very consistent for another week or so. In contrast, the small fish “numbers” bite has been really good. For both big and little fish the best action has come in the 40-60 foot range. Free-line drifting is traditionally a method for targeting smaller fish, while anchoring on points and humps in the key depth range will catch both bigger and smaller fish. To target bigger fish pieces of tougher bait such as gizzard shad, white perch and bream should be used - even relatively small pieces of these baits will stay on the hook a time even if small fish are munching on them, giving a big fish time to locate the bait, run off the small fish and eat. In contrast, to target small fish a range of baits including very small pieces of cut herring and threadfin shad, shrimp, catalpa worms, chicken liver or marshmallows dipped in stinkbait will work. Lake Murray Largemouth bass: Slow to fair. Bass fishing is pretty slow on the lake. A basic pattern remains fishing topwater plugs early in the morning, and then when the sun gets up fishing slow sinking swimbaits and jigs off long points. Carolina rigs and shakey head worms should also catch some fish. Crappie:

Slow to fair. Down the lake crappie fishing has been slow, but up the lake some fish are being caught around main-lake brush in about 20-25 feet of water. Lake Wylie Catfish: Fair. Try anchoring and drifting with cut bait, and look for the fishing to get better and better as the spawn gets further in the rear view mirror. Lake Thurmond Black bass: Slow. Fish are in a summer pattern but the bite is slower than usual with water levels dropping fast. Early in the morning there is sometimes a frog bite, but from day to day it has been rather hit-or-miss. Later in the day most anglers are fishing deeper with Carolina Rigs and other soft plastic presentations such as the Goby Sled. There has also been some action on shakey head worms fished around docks. Lake Russell Striped bass: Fair. Striper are traditionally found on both ends of the lake at this time of year, but unfortunately fishing in the Hartwell Tailrace has been pretty spotty. Some fish have been caught up there but a lot of anglers have also been skunked. The best pattern is probably to fish the lower end near Russell Dam with down-lined herring 30-40 feet deep in the thermocline. On the upper end it is more of a free-line pattern. Crappie: Fair.

Crappie can be found around brushpiles in 20-25 feet of water. Fish are suspending about 10-12 feet down and minnows are the best way to target them. Lake Hartwell Black bass: Fair. The pattern remains pretty similar, with fish mixed between shallow and deep water. A significant number of fish are up shallow, either because they are keying on bream beds or just cruising around the old growth from when the lake levels were down. Buzzbaits, frogs and soft plastics will all work. A significant number of fish are also out in deep water around points and humps, particularly those with timber and brush. Drop shot rigs, shakey head worms, Carolina rigs and Texas rigs will all catch these fish, but fishing topwater lures such as Spooks, Sammies, swimbaits and flukes can also call them up. Topwater action has been spotty to this point. Crappie: Slow. Crappie fishing remains pretty tough, but fish can be caught around bridges at night. During the day some crappie have also been caught over brush 17-25 feet deep in about 30 feet of water. Minnows are producing best but slabtail jigs will also catch fish. Lake Keowee Catfish: Hit and miss. The big fish bite is starting to get a bit more predictable, but with another wave of fish still likely to spawn it may not get very consistent for

another week or so. In contrast, the small fish “numbers” bite has been really good. For both big and little fish the best action has come in the 40-60 foot range. Free-line drifting is traditionally a method for targeting smaller fish, while anchoring on points and humps in the key depth range will catch both bigger and smaller fish. To target bigger fish pieces of tougher bait such as gizzard shad, white perch and bream should be used - even relatively small pieces of these baits will stay on the hook a time even if small fish are munching on them, giving a big fish time to locate the bait, run off the small fish and eat. In contrast, to target small fish a range of baits including very small pieces of cut herring and threadfin shad, shrimp, catalpa worms, chicken liver or marshmallows dipped in stinkbait will work Lake Jocassee Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Slow to fair. Bass fishing has slowed on Lake Keowee as water temperatures have warmed, although the general pattern remains pretty similar. Early in the morning fish are chasing bait pretty well around shallow, flat points, and throwing topwater lures around shallow water has been producing. During the day fishing turns into a slower grind where fish can be found in 20-30 feet of water off the ends of places where they were schooling earlier. Shakey head worms, drop shot rigs and Carolina rigs can all catch bass.

We dedicate this to the woman that was the glue to our puzzle, who helped us when we were down, and who we could always count on to be there for us. We wish you in a very Happy Birthday to the heavens above, and many more. Even if you're gone, you will never be forgotten. Love, Your Husband, Children & Grands.

‘Signiﬁcant Mother’ Doesn’t Go for Clichés Sunday, August 23 - 29, 2015

www.theitem.com

Nate (Josh Zuckerman) is coming to terms with D GLIôFXOW DQG DZNZDUG VLWXDWLRQ RQ Ü6LJQLôFDQW Mother,” airing Monday at 9:30 p.m. on The CW.

By Candace Havens FYI Television On the surface, “Signiﬁcant Mother,” airing Monday at 9:30 p.m. on The CW, is an awkward comedy about what happens when a guy falls in love with his best friend’s mother. While uncomfortable, the situation is rife with comedy. But this show doesn’t go for the cliché. It’s charming in a weird way and laugh-out-loud funny. The show has more heart than most comedies about friends in their twenties. “Josh Zuckerman’s Nate has always been the heart of the show for us,” says executive producer Erin Cardillo. Nate’s mom is the one in a relationship with his best friend. “His character is the one who is tortured by this situation, so it’s important that you really feel for him. And you always feel for Josh. He’s so accessible and sweet. It’s hard not to root for him. “Nathaniel Buzolic is so inherently charming. We knew Jimmy (the best friend) had to have that quality above all else, or you’d end up seeing him as a terrible person for what he did to his best friend. That kind of charm isn’t something any actor can just put on, so ﬁnding Nathaniel for the role was really exciting. He also has such a willingness to dive in and play and fall on his face and get back up and dive right back in again, which not only made him great to work with, but also made him very right for this role. Krista Allen is stunning and has the sexiness and strength we were looking for in Lydia (the mom), but also the vulnerability. Her character is fumbling her way through a new chapter in her life and she is making a ton of mistakes – like sleeping with her son’s best friend – so she could

easily be seen as a terrible person, but there’s something so genuine about Krista that you end up relating to what she’s going through and wishing good things for her.” While Nate may have a nice but dysfunctional relationship with his divorced mom and dad (Jonathan Silverman), he has his friends as a support system. “I think your twenties are a unique time when your friends become your family and your family becomes your friends,” says Cardillo. “It’s one of the things we try to explore a little bit in the show this season, and hopefully we’ll get to explore that idea more if the series continues. For the first time in his life, Nate is starting to see his parents as real people and he’s starting to realize how much his friendships mean to him and how much he’d like to find love. It’s an interesting shift in perspective that’s very relatable, but it’s thrust upon Nate in a harsher way because of his particular circumstances.” The cast has fun on the set, and work hard to crack each other up. “I rarely crack in a take, but I lost it a few times on the set of ‘Significant Mother,’” says Zuckerman. “I got Nathaniel good this one time in our second episode with a certain ad lib during a double-date scenario with Denise Richards’ character. “I’m very proud of that.” “I have a hard time keeping a straight face with anything that Josh or Jonny (Silverman) does in character,” adds Allen. “It’s really hard to act mad or irritated when I’m working off of them, besides the fact that they are just so freaking funny naturally. Sometimes I have to actually force my look away from them during a scene, or

make my eyes get blurry so I can’t see all the ridiculous, amazing Josh-isms or Jonny-isms that are happening before my very eyes.” The writers are aware the subject matter is a bit edgy, but they play off of that. “I think it’s always going to be a little creepy and weird,” says Cardillo. “There’s kind of no getting around that, but we tried to keep it playful and poke fun at it and allow the characters to have some self-awareness about it. It also helps that Krista and Nathaniel make a pretty hot couple. Our hope was that the audience would see them as a couple first, like them together, and then when Nate was brought into the picture, realize they shouldn’t like them together, but also not be able to help but like them together.” “We also knew from the outset that this wasn’t going to be a deep, insightful look at the issue of finding out your best friend is with your mom – that pilot would probably end with the two friends no longer being friends,” adds executive producer Rich Keith. “Instead, we want to take a lighthearted look at what would happen if suddenly your mom wasn’t just your mom anymore, if almost overnight she was one of your friends, hanging out at your house all the time, having sex with your roommate, eating burritos. We try to focus on that aspect of this new relationship as much as possible because at the end of the day, you can only come back to how weird it is for Nate to see his friend with his mom so many times before you have to find other stories to tell. Which, as the season progresses, I feel like we do.”
