Deputies will soon wear body cams Sheriff says tech will help keep public, officers safe

BY MATT BRUCE matthew@theitem.com Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis announced Friday that the sheriff’s office will begin making ef-

forts to equip every deputy with body cameras after recent tragedies raised the national debate of officers using excessive force on citizens.

Dennis announced the DENNIS decision through a news release Friday evening and recognized that incidents in other parts of the country of late have shak-

en some people’s faith in law enforcement.

“In order for a law enforcement agency to operate effectively, it must have the trust of the community it serves,” Dennis said in the statement.

“By using this technology, we at the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office hope to continue to assure the people of Sumter County that their best interests are at the forefront of our efforts

to protect them. At the same time, we are hopeful these body cameras will provide more transparency in our efforts and also help protect our officers and citizens alike.”

The incidents to which Dennis alluded are a pair of officer-involved killings that have put the spotlight on officer-community relations in the

Pearl Harbor survivor reflects on his service

BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Don Ralph knows he is among a dwindling number of Pearl Harbor survivors.

“There were two brothers and two other people that I used to know from Sumter, but they are gone,” he said.

“As far as I know, I am the only one from Lee, Clarendon and Florence counties. Last I heard, we are losing 2,500 veterans a RALPH day.”

As a young man, Ralph watched the first bombs hit Hickam Field at Pearl Harbor 73 years ago today.

He and members of his unit were soon tasked with taking care of the wounded.

In June, he recalled some of the events of that fateful morning.

“We went out near the flight line in the hangar area (at Hickam Field) to

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — The USS Arizona is one of the nation’s most hallowed sites, an underwater grave for more than 1,100 sailors and Marines killed when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and sank their ship in 1941.

Now, it’s the scene of alleged rampant mismanagement.

An internal report from the National Park Service, which operates a visitors’ center for a memorial at the battleship, said tour companies sold tickets with the knowledge of park officials even though tickets are supposed to be free.

Another pointed to substandard maintenance, including scuffed museum walls that languished unrepaired and bird feces that wasn’t cleaned.

Smith remains on House Ways and Means Committee

BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com South Carolina Speaker of the House James H. “Jay” Lucas, R-Darlington, announced committee assignments this week, and Rep. Murrell Smith, R-Sumter, said his reapSMITH pointment to the Ways and Means Committee in the South Carolina House of Representatives will be a benefit to his constituents.

“It gives Sumter a seat at the table,” he said. “That is the committee that writes the budget.”

Early morning shooting leaves 2 men injured, 1 critically

BY MATT BRUCE matthew@theitem.com Sumter County Sheriff’s Office deputies are investigating a shooting that took place outside a convenience store early Saturday morning along East Red Bay Road and asking for the public’s help in gathering information.

According to a statement released by the sheriff’s office on Saturday, shots reportedly rang out just after midnight in the 200 block of East Red Bay Road and left two men wounded.

Investigators learned both men were standing in the parking lot of the store when bullets struck them. One of the men, a 29-year-old victim, suffered a single wound to the ankle. The other, a 25-year-old man, sustained multiple gunshots throughout his body.

Witnesses told deputies unidentified gunmen fired the shots from the inside of a vehicle described as a black Cadillac before it sped away from the scene. Investigators think multiple shooters participated in the shooting.

Sumter police found a black Cadillac abandoned early Saturday morning outside a business in the 200 block of East Newberry Street. Authorities think it was the same vehicle the suspected shooters used during the incident. Investigators recovered the Cadillac and began processing it as evidence.

According to Saturday’s statement, an acquaintance drove the two victims to Tuomey Regional Medical Center, where deputies first encountered them. The 25-year-old victim underwent surgery at Tuomey, and he was later transported to a Columbia-area hospital for further treatment. A sheriff’s office spokesman said he remained in critical condition as of Saturday afternoon.

Deputies have yet to develop any suspects in the shooting.

Those with any information are urged to contact the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office at (803) 436-2775 or call CrimeStoppers at (803) 436-2718.

Brown said the Rules Committee is a beneficial assignment because it can set rules which allow legislation to reach the House floor.

Rep. Robert Ridgeway, D-Clarendon and Sumter, will remain on the Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs Committee and the newly created Legislative Oversight Committee.

Ridgeway, a physician, said the “Three M” committee is the best opportunity to put his medical knowledge to use for his constituents.

The South Carolina General Assembly meets from the second Tuesday in January to the first Thursday in June as set by the state constitution. In 2015, that will be Jan. 12 to June 4.

“That is a testament to Weeks’ leadership and respect in the House,” Smith said. “That’s a rare position for a Democrat to have.”

Smith said the Ethics Committee handles complaints against House members, but he said he expects to see legislation to create an independent board to address those complaints.

Weeks will also serve on the Judiciary Committee.

Several other appointments were announced for House members from the tri-county area.

Rep. Grady Brown, D-Lee, has been appointed to the Rules Committee and Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee, where he is the vice chairman.

He said it is one of the most soughtafter assignments because many perceive it as wielding a lot of power in state government. Smith said he is also confident he will retain his subcommittee chairmanship in the committee.

Smith said the committee will immediately begin working on the budget.

“We are mandated by the constitution to have a budget to the Senate by the end of March,” he said.

Smith will also serve on the House Ethics Committee, which is elected by the members. Also serving on that committee will be Rep. David Weeks, D-Sumter, who is vice chairman.

Rock library keeps track of what’s under our state

BY SAMMY FRETWELL The (Columbia) State COLUMBIA — Like the library in most any community, the one off Broad River Road in Columbia has plenty of information in the rows of shelves lining the building’s interior.

But there are no books.

This library is filled with rocks, dirt and minerals. Slices of the earth’s crust, unearthed by geologists through the years, are kept in the 160-foot-long metal warehouse behind a small government office in northwest Columbia.

Known as cores, these tubular slivers provide insight into South Carolina’s varied and sometimes complex geology.

Core samples kept at the warehouse indicate how much rock, sand, limestone or other materials can be found below the surface in certain areas of the state — and that’s often important to businesses.

Gold exploration companies use samples from the core repository to help determine where to look for large deposits. Farmers rely on core sample studies to locate groundwater they need for irrigating crops. Big companies use core data to find water they want to use in industrial processes.

“It’s a phenomenal resource to have for the state,” said Bruce Campbell, a groundwater specialist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Columbia. “Hopefully, it’ll be there for a long time.”

The repository, operated by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, contains more than 1,600 core samples stacked floor to ceiling on 307 shelves. The samples are kept in 14,000 cardboard boxes and collectively weigh nearly 400 tons.

Cores, which resemble skinny stone columns, typically are about 3 feet long and about 1 to 2 inches around.

They have been donated through the years by industries or scientific research teams from drilling work they’ve done.

As opposed to a book library, the core library presents unique challenges for those wanting information.

Cores are so heavy it sometimes takes several people to grab them from a shelf. The average box in the repository weighs 40 to 60 pounds.

“Some of these rock cores

Scott Howard, a geologist with South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, walks through the department’s core repository in Columbia on Nov. 19. Geologists can use the state’s library of rocks to determine where gold or groundwater can be found in the state. Boxes of rocks weigh up to 100 pounds and can take several people to pull from the shelves.

are outrageous,” chief DNR geologist Scott Howard said of their weight. “It takes a crew to pull that down.”

The weight doesn’t deter geologists, particularly those looking for gold.

As interest in gold mining has resumed in South Carolina, a half-dozen exploration companies have made it a point to visit the core repository off Broad River Road.

Gold exploration companies might see an abundance of quartz or pyrite in certain samples, which then gives them clues on whether gold exists in an area. Gold often is associated with

core repository, Howard said.

He said he recently received an email from an Australian minerals company.

“Most of the time, they are looking for a specific area,” Howard said of gold exploration companies. “They’ll come in and set up camp for a week and just go through boxes and boxes of cores. Sometimes they even want a sample.”

Geologists sometimes use the core repository before drilling their own holes to determine whether gold exists.

That saves money on drilling

these materials.

Miners working on what would become the largest gold mine ever established in South Carolina, a 2,500-acre operation in Lancaster County, relied on data from the

expenses, Howard said.

The U.S. Geological Survey also has relied on data from core samples to help determine where underground water is abundant and where it is scarce. Cores can provide detail about the different aquifers that underlie an area.

An abundance of coarse sand, for instance, sometimes indicates that water will move quickly below ground, which can show plentiful supplies.

Campbell recently completed a study of groundwater in Chesterfield County and is working on a groundwater availability study for Aiken County.

The latter report is being conducted as concerns arise about the lack of water for irrigation in central South Carolina, west of Columbia.

Many people have expressed concern that lower groundwater levels could mean lower river levels in the Edisto River basin, which receives some of its flow from groundwater.

Steady groundwater supplies also are vital because most of Aiken County gets drinking water from the ground.

The U.S. Geological Survey studies have relied on data DNR groundwater experts had put together after reviewing samples at the core repository, Campbell said.

“We don’t understand completely our groundwater resources yet,” DNR hydrology program manager Joe Gellici said. “But these cores really provide the best available information.”

Core repositories can be found in other places across the country, including North Carolina. The federal government also has a repository in Colorado.

South Carolina’s repository, which is mandated by state law, doesn’t have a specific budget but is overseen as part of the S.C. Geological Survey’s $15,000 operating budget. The Geological Survey is a division of the state Department of Natural Resources.

Crash diets aren’t ideal for anyone

Dr. Wendy Gunther demonstrates in 2012 how an infant can die because of unsafe sleeping practices using a scene reenactment doll in Norfolk, Virginia.

Too many U.S. infants still sleep with blankets or other unsafe bedding, according to a study that was published Monday in Pediatrics.

C

rash dieting is a popular method of weight loss used by thousands of Americans who need to lose weight in a short amount of time. These short-term diets are very restrictive and may be difficult to implement and maintain. Although they can be effective in reaching weight-loss goals, the severe calorie restriction deprives the body of valuable nutrients and can put a lot of stress on your body.

Diets such as the cabbage soup diet, the grapefruit diet or the master cleanse make claims of losing up to 25 pounds in just a few weeks. This is what attracts people to them. Because these diets are generally no more than 700 calories a day, you will lose weight. However, the majority of the weight you lose may be water, muscle and bone density, not fat.

During severe calorie restriction, the body goes into starvation mode, meaning metabolism slows down so the body can survive on Missy fewer calories. When you come off the diet and return to your Corrigan regular eating habits, there is no guarantee your metabolism will increase back to normal, so weight gain generally occurs. This is what can eventually lead to a life of yo-yo dieting and constant weight fluctuation.

Crash diets may work for you and be a quick fix, but they do come with some negative consequences. The dangers of crash dieting include decreased metabolism, loss of muscle, decreased bone density, weakened immune system, heart palpitations and deprivation of essential nutrients. If you are a habitual yo-yo dieter, these risks may be increased.

In addition to the risks, the strict program may change your daily routine, prevent you from engaging in social activities or alter your energy levels and mood. And let’s admit it, they just aren’t fun.

To prevent having to go on a crash diet, it is necessary to adopt a long-term healthy diet. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that a woman never drop below 1,200 calories and a man never below 1,800 calories. This does not take into account your physical activity or the type of lifestyle you have: sedentary, lightly active, moderately active or very active. So the more active you are, the more calories you will need.

While finding a healthy diet that you can live with that provides you with the results you want can be a daunting task, there are plenty of apps, programs and websites to choose from and even local nutritionists available to assist you. If you need to lose weight within the next few weeks for a holiday party or get ready for that winter cruise vacation, don’t fall victim to unhealthy ways. Instead, immediately adopt a nutrient-dense diet and incorporate cardio and weight training into your daily routine. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice good health for weight loss.

Study: Too many infants sleep with blankets CHICAGO (AP) — Too many U.S. infants sleep with blankets, pillows or other unsafe bedding that may lead to suffocation or sudden infant death syndrome, despite guidelines recommending against the practice. That’s according to researchers who say 17 years of national data show parents need to be better informed.

THE STUDY Researchers from National Institutes of Health and federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analyzed annual telephone surveys involving a total of nearly 20,000 parents. Almost seven out of eight used blankets or other soft bedding for their infants in 1993. That dropped sharply through the years, but by 2010, more than half still were doing so. The practice was

most common among young mothers, blacks and Hispanics.

The study was published Monday in Pediatrics.

THE ISSUE Accidental suffocation in bed, though uncommon, is the leading cause of injury-related deaths in infants. The rate doubled from 2000 to 2010, when about 640 infants died from accidental sleep-related suffocation, government data show. While SIDS deaths have declined in recent years, they still totaled about 2,000 in 2010. For more than a decade, the American Academy of Pediatrics, NIH and safety experts have warned parents against using soft bedding in infants’ cribs, either over or under the baby. That includes blankets, quilts, cushiony crib

bumpers, pillows and soft toys.

That doesn’t mean letting babies freeze; safe sleepwear is advised, including one-piece sleepers and keeping the room at a comfortable temperature.

SLEEP SAFETY CAMPAIGNS The decline in SIDS deaths is often attributed to the government’s Back to Sleep campaign emphasizing the importance of placing babies to sleep on their backs, not stomachs. To encompass other sleep-related risks, too, including suffocation, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and its partners renamed the effort the “Safe to Sleep” campaign in 2012.

Safe practices include having babies sleep alone in cribs or bassinets, not on couches, water beds or sheepskin.

Flu vaccine may be less effective this winter

BY MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer NEW YORK — The flu vaccine may not be very effective this winter, according to U.S. health officials who worry this may lead to more serious illnesses and deaths.

As flu season begins to ramp up, officials say the vaccine does not protect well against the dominant strain seen most commonly so far this year. That strain tends

to cause more deaths and hospitalizations, especially in the elderly. CDC officials say the vaccine should still provide some protection, but it won’t be as good as if the vaccine strain were a match.

Flu vaccine effectiveness tends to vary from year to year. Last winter, the flu vaccine was about 60 percent effective overall, which experts consider good.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an advisory to doctors about the situa-

tion Wednesday evening.

CDC officials said doctors should be on the lookout for patients who may be at higher risk for flu complications, including children younger than 2, adults 65 and older and people with asthma, heart disease, weakened immune systems or certain other chronic conditions.

Such patients should be seen promptly and perhaps treated immediately with antiviral medications, the CDC advised.

Horse trots into hospital: It’s therapy, no joke

BY LINDSEY TANNER The Associated Pressr

ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY

CHICAGO — Though it may sound like one, this is no joke: Two miniature horses trotted into a hospital.

Doctors and patients did double-takes when the equine visitors ambled down long corridors in the pediatric unit at Chicago’s Rush University Medical Center.

Wide-eyed youngsters hooked up to IV poles stepped into hallways to get a glimpse, and kids too sick to leave their rooms beamed with delight when the little long-lashed horses showed up for some bedside nuzzling.

Mystery and Lunar, small as big dogs, are equines on a medical mission to offer comfort care and distraction therapy for ailing patients. It is a role often taken on by dogs in health care settings — animal therapy, according to studies and anecdotal reports, may benefit health, perhaps even speeding healing and recovery.

Mini-horses add an extra element of delight — many kids don’t know they exist outside of fairy tales.

“I want one,” said 14-yearold Elizabeth Duncan, stroking Mystery’s nose from her propped-up hospital bed.

Burton acknowledged that skeptics dismiss it as “touchy-feely” and lacking hard evidence of any meaningful medical benefits. She said studies are needed on whether animals in hospitals can shorten patients’ stays and reduce readmission rates — something her hospital is looking into with dogs and heart failure patients.

FROM PAGE A1 The revelations in documents released last month came just before crowds gather at Pearl Harbor today for an annual ceremony remembering more than 2,400 sailors, Marines and soldiers killed 73 years ago.

“To watch the desecration of a very sacred, very important place was very disheartening,” said John Landrysmith, a former park service guide and 41-year-old Iraq war veteran.

He quit his job earlier this year after feeling his supervisor was punishing him for questioning the ticket policy and believing the park service failed to act on his complaints.

He intends to file a whistleblower retaliation lawsuit against the park service.

Park superintendent Paul DePrey said the park service was trying to accommodate the tour companies, which bring busloads of people each day.

“It was not intended for a huge glut of tickets that were going to just the tour companies,” he said. “We tried to work that system the best we could. It was not successful.”

The practice stopped when they realized it didn’t comply with park service policy and wasn’t working as intended, he said.

A new ticketing system starting next month, DePrey said, will do a better job laying out the terms and conditions of the permits commercial tour companies operate under. The park service will also start scanning tickets to get data on how they are being used.

The problems outlined in the reports are centered at the visitor’s center, which anyone visiting the Arizona and the memorial must pass through. The $56-million complex, rebuilt four years ago, explains events leading up to and during the attack with the help of museum exhibits and movie screenings.

Visitors then board boats to the white, open-air memorial that sits atop the Arizona’s rusting hull.

There are only 4,350 boat tickets available each day. That amounts to less than 1.6 million tickets a year, even though the park service says 1.8 million people visit Pearl Harbor annually.

A September 2013 park service report said there was “at minimum” no transparency in the way tickets were distributed.

The report, which was obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by the nonprofit group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, outlined how park service employees gave walk-in tickets intended for independent visitors to commercial tour companies who then sold them.

Tickets were also given to Pacific Historic Parks, a nonprofit that runs a gift shop and raises money for the memorial. The organization gave some to people spending $7 to rent an audio tour from the nonprofit and gave others to companies that would lead clients to the audio tours, the report said.

There were rarely enough tickets for independent visitors while this was going on, the report said.

RALPH FROM PAGE A1 pick up people who were wounded and that kind of thing,” Ralph said. “Stop and pick up four or five guys, give them first aid on the spot, load them up, take them into the hospital and leave them, then go back again.”

Ralph said they worked for several days picking up the dead out of a mess hall.

“They had two bomb groups in the barracks with two wings on each side and a mess hall in the middle.

They bombed the living daylights out of that mess hall,” he said.

“We took dead people out of there and put them in the truck and then took them down to Fort Ruger, and they put them in wooden boxes.”

Ralph earned a citation and a Purple Heart for a shrapnel wound and a Bronze Star, he said.

“For bravery,” he said. “I told them I wasn’t brave; I was 18 and didn’t know any better.”

At 93 years old, Ralph still loves to talk and laughs easily.

“I hope I don’t bore you

‘I think of all the cemeteries all over the world and all of the people who are in those cemeteries. Then you stop and think there are 1,100 men still in that Arizona’.

DON RALPH, Pearl Harbor survivor with all these stories,” he said.

This week, Ralph reflected on his life.

“All I can say is thank the good Lord we live in this country,” he said. “I think of all the cemeteries all over the world and all of the people who are in those cemeteries. Then you stop and think there are 1,100 men still in that Arizona.”

As he has grown older, he has come to better understand his purpose in life.

He doesn’t look back in regret, however.

“Though I have wasted a lot of time, I don’t call it wasted,” he said. “I can find something beneficial somewhere along the line. I see people now, and they talk about being bored. I don’t think I have been bored in my life.”

He said he has asked the good Lord what his purpose

in life is many times.

“I didn’t get an answer, but in later years, I got the revelation of why I was put here.”

He said he likes to help people.

“I had an occasion here not long ago when I thought I had helped somebody, and I found out later that I had. I said, ‘Well, Lord, maybe that is one reason I am here.’”

When he was in Okinawa in the military, he was a senior noncommissioned officer but found time to coach a Little League ball team and lead a Cub Scout troop.

“For 10 years, I drove a van from Sumter to the VA hospital twice a month, every month, and sometimes more than that.”

“Things like that I contributed to,” he said. “At least it blows up my ego.”

U.S. Late last month, a grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri, decided not to indict Darren Wilson, a Ferguson police officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown during an isolated street encounter.

This past week, another grand jury

in New York failed to indict an officer who was shown on video applying a deadly chokehold to Eric Garner, a 43-year-old father of six.

Both developments have sparked a swarm of angry protests across the country. One of the overriding solutions many protesters have cited is the need for more officers to wear body cams, an implementation that would ideally remove doubt from such con-

Beacons: Helpful Shoppers savvy, more patient or intrusive?

NEW YORK (AP) — From American Eagle to Apple Stores, beacons are popping up everywhere. Are they a shopper’s best friend or another pesky Big Brother monitoring our every move?

The square or rectangular devices, smaller than a smartphone, can hang on a wall or be placed on a machine and communicate with your phone via Bluetooth signals. Accessed through apps you download to your smartphone, beacon technology can do everything from guide you to the correct airport terminal to turn on your coffee maker as you sleepily enter the kitchen. In retail, beacons aim to entice you to spend money.

As you enter a store, your smartphone might light up with a sale alert.

“The most important thing a shopper might need to get access to when they go into a store are ratings and reviews, coupons and promotions,” said Erik McMillan, CEO of Shelfbucks, which is working with video game retailer GameStop and others on its beacon marketing. Beacons give customers that research right there in the store — when they have their wallets and are looking to buy.

Macy’s Inc. has installed beacons in all of its 840 department stores; other chains such as Kohl’s are testing them in some locations. McMillan likens beacons to the early days of retail websites in the 1990s when “all of a sudden it got to the point that ‘you can’t not have a website’.” He predicts the technolo-

gy will skyrocket from the 50,000 beacons in use now to between 5 million and 10 million next year.

The vast majority of shopping is still done in stores. Ecommerce is fast-growing but accounts for only about 9 percent of total retail sales, according to Forrester Research. Beacons merge in-store shopping with mobile access to information — and data shows they work.

Between July and September, 30 percent of shoppers who received a “push-ad” from an instore beacon used that offer to buy something, according to a survey by Swirl, a marketing technology company that has worked with retailers such as Lord & Taylor, Hudson’s Bay, Alex and Ani, Kenneth Cole and Timberland to deploy beacons. Sixty percent of shoppers opened beacon-sent messages, and over half of those surveyed said they would do more holiday shopping at the stores as a result of their beacon experience.

Graham Uffelman, a 45-yearold New Yorker, said he bought Bluetooth headphones at Best Buy because of a deal he got via the Shopkick beacon marketing app.

“The app knew I was in the store and actually suggested a product I wanted,” he said.

“The experience was great but also a little unnerving in the sense that the store knew who I was and that I was present in their location. It felt a little Big Brother-like.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Shoppers are getting smarter.

The start of the holiday shopping season shows a simple discount, even a big one, isn’t always enough to lure people to buy. Shoppers can sniff out a legitimate deal from a fake one and are even leaving items in online shopping carts as reminders to look for a better bargain.

Shoppers with more knowledge and new patience may have contributed to the less-than-stellar turnout during Thanksgiving weekend, the traditional kickoff of holiday shopping.

Stores heavily discounted holiday merchandise days and even weeks before Black Friday. That gave shoppers plenty of opportunities to avoid the big lines.

That seemed to backfire during Thanksgiving weekend. The endless stream of sales pitches made many shoppers confident that heavy discounts would continue right on through Christmas.

That may be a self-fulfilling prophecy. The lukewarm start to the season means retailers will watch the next few weeks closely and could roll out more promotions than planned, says Dave Bassuk, managing director and co-head of the retail practice at AlixPartners.

“Retailers’ greed hurt them, and the consumer is so much smarter,” he said.

Here are some of the ways people are shopping smarter:

DISCOUNTS AREN’T ENOUGH Shoppers are addicted to

Twenty percent off ? Better throw in free shipping, too.

“They’re acutely aware of all the elements of value,” said the retail trade group’s CEO Matt Shay.

Free shipping has been a top factor for online shoppers in deciding whether to buy. Ryan Urban, co-founder of Bounce Exchange, a technology company that works with more than 700 retailers’ websites, says shoppers are converted to buyers at a rate 10 to 15 percent lower on websites that don’t offer any free shipping.

Target Corp. is already attributing its sales surge online in part to its move to drop shipping fees for all online purchases until Dec 20.

ON TARGET Consumers got more purposeful during last holiday weekend.

According to C. Britt Beemer, chairman of Ameri-

Meet Springleaf’s new branch manager Kimberly Oliver and team

ca’s Research Group, a consumer research firm, 75 percent who went shopping on Thanksgiving and Black Friday wanted only the socalled doorbusters, deeply discounted specials intended to lure in customers; last year, that figure was 49.9 percent.

Stores hope those items, sometimes priced so low the retailer loses money on them, will result in impulse spending once shoppers are in the door. Trying to push more online sales also may be a factor in reducing impulse purchases.

Marshal Cohen, NPD’s group’s chief industry analyst, estimates 45 percent of store shopping is done on impulse, compared with 25 percent online.

NO RUSH Shoppers are not in a hurry to attack their holiday buying for many reasons.

NPD’S Cohen said that other than gadgets like Apple’s iPhone 6 or specific toys such as the Elsa doll tied to Disney’s “Frozen” movie, there are no hot items that are hard to find. So shoppers know they can find better deals later in the season.

“There’s no urgency to buy,” said Cohen. “So consumers are in the driver’s seat.”

Increasingly, shoppers are using website shopping carts to store items, not to immediately buy them, but as a reminder to shop around for betters deals, according to Bounce Exchange’s Urban and others.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Here’s how area members of Congress voted on major issues during the week ending Dec. 5.

HOUSE PRESIDENTIAL IMMIGRATION ORDER Voting 219 for and 197 against, the House on Dec. 4 passed a bill (HR 5759) to nullify as unconstitutional an executive order by President Obama that would temporarily block the potential deportation of an estimated five million undocumented aliens who are the parents of U.S. citizens or permanent legal residents born before Nov. 20, 2014. To qualify for the program and receive work authorization, these individuals must have lived in the U.S. for at least five years, pass criminal background checks, submit biometric data, establish that their child was born by the date of the order and agree to pay fees and taxes.

Obama’s order does not affect an additional six million or so paperless individuals who remain subject to immediate deportation under an administration policy that has deported undocumented aliens at a rate of about 333,000 per year since 2009.

Republicans denounced the executive order as an illegal power grab, while Democrats cited similar immigration orders by presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush as precedents.

A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, where it was expected to die with the close of the 113th Congress.

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

CUBANS, MILITARY FAMILIES, ABUSE VICTIMS Voting 194 for and 225 against, the House on Dec. 4 defeated a Democratic bid to prevent HR 5759 (above) from causing the deportation of undocumented Cubans now in the U.S., undocumented family members of U.S. service personnel or foreigners who are certified as victims of human trafficking or domestic violence back home.

A yes vote backed the Democratic motion.

SOUTH CAROLINA Voting yes: Clyburn Voting no: Sanford, Wilson (SC), Duncan (SC), Gowdy, Mulvaney, Rice (SC) Not voting: None

HELP FOR THE DISABLED, MEDICARE CUTS By a vote of 404 for and 17 against, the House on Dec. 3 passed a bipartisan bill (HR 647) to establish tax-free savings accounts for the disabled while using cuts in Medicare to help pay the program’s $2.1 billion cost during 10 years. Under the bill, disabled persons or their families could contribute unlimited sums to special savings accounts, then use the asset growth to pay housing, education or health care bills as well as costs associated with finding and keeping jobs.

Qualified distributions from these accounts would be exempt from federal income taxes, and the assets could not be counted in means testing for federal programs such as Medicaid. These Achieving a Better Life Experience plans are modeled after “Section 529” collegesavings plans. Because of its cuts in Medicare and other programs, the bill is deficitneutral.

George Holding, R-N.C., said ABLE accounts “will help provide families with some peace of mind when trying to save for their children’s long-term expenses.”

Jim McDermott, D-Wash., objected to using Medicare “as a piggy bank to pay for a tax bill.”

A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate.

VOTE H-3 slugged DISABLED

FISCAL 2015 MILITARY BUDGET Voting 300 for and 119 against, the House on Dec. 4 authorized a $585 billion military budget (HR 3979) for fiscal 2015, including $63.7 billion for actions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and other war zones. The bill authorizes funding of expanded operations including air strikes against Islamic State forces in Iraq and Syria. In addition, the bill authorizes nearly $60 billion for activeduty and retiree health care; $17.5 billion for nuclearweapons programs run by the Department of Energy and $8.9 billion for national missile defenses.

The bill funds a 1 percent military pay raise; raises copayments for pharmaceuticals by $3 per month; slows the growth of off-base housing allowances; keeps prosecution of sexual-assault cases in the chain of command and bars use of the “good soldier” defense by those accused of sexual assaults.

A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, where quick passage was expected.

The socalled “tax extenders” bill retroactively locks in the breaks for calendar 2014 at a projected cost of $43 billion, which would be added to the national debt.

Among its breaks for corporations, the bill renews bonus depreciation to allow faster write-offs of capital investments; rules that allow firms to shield overseas profits from U.S. taxation; the research-and-development tax credit and incentives to spur energy conservation and the development of alternative fuels. In addition, the bill extends tuition tax credits for higher education and rules that allow teachers to deduct the cost of buying classroom materials, among other scores or hundreds of other provisions.

Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., said any failure to renew research-and-development credits and bonus-depreciation rules “would only slow an economic recovery that desperately needs to pick up the pace.”

Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., called the bill “an illusion ... a Fellini movie we are seeing on a late afternoon in Washington, D.C. It is completely unpaid for. It gives no certainty to businesses or individuals because it expires one month from today.”

A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, where passage was expected within days.

SENATE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION Voting 53 for and 43 against, the Senate on Dec. 3 confirmed David Lopez for a second term as general counsel of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Established in 1965, the EEOC is charged with protecting employees and job applicants against workplace discrimination based on race, color, age, disability, religion, sex, genetic information or national origin. Its role is to investigate complaints and, if they have merit, to seek to resolve them informally or through mediation or lawsuits.

Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., who voted against the nominee, said that with Lopez as its general counsel, the EEOC “has placed too great an emphasis on litigating high-profile cases” rather than using less formal tools to slash its backlog of more than 76,000 cases.

No senator spoke in support of Lopez during brief debate on his nomination.

There have been smart, educated, beautiful, polite black children for hundreds of years. The advantage that my children have is that my children are

COMMENTARY encountering the nicest white people that America has ever produced. Let’s hope America keeps producing nicer white people.”

That’s just one of the many reasons I love Chris Rock and have since I first saw him back in the 1980s.

Graham He’s about Osteen four years younger than me, and Jerry Seinfeld is 7 years older. The two greatest living observational comedians in America today are a black man whose mother is from Andrews, South Carolina, and a Jew-

ish man from Brooklyn, New York.

I’m proud that my two grown children are the sort of nice white people Rock is referring to, and it helps that they grew up with both Rock and Seinfeld.

They’re part of a new, multicultural American generation and along with their wide array of multicolored friends and associates will figure out how to keep the country moving forward, no matter how complicated the world gets.

Despite the ugliness and violence in Ferguson and New York these past few weeks — and all the work that still needs to be done — I’m more optimistic about the future than ever before.

But only if we continue to pass the torch and remember to get out of the way with our old, preconceived no-

tions and prejudices.

So when you’re out shopping and running about this holiday season, take the time to say hello to someone you would normally just walk right by. It will do you both a world of good.

••• Speaking of children and the future, take a look at the great A1 photo on Saturday of the Millwood Elementary School Chorus. If that doesn’t put you in the Christmas spirit, then just go hole up in a cave until next year. I was principal for the day there recently — http://bit.ly/1u43BIU — so I’m very proud of “my students.”

The photo was taken by Keith Gedamke, who is back full time on The Sumter Item newsroom staff. Wunder-

kind photographer Matt Walsh left us this week to go toil in the dark and uncertain corporate world of McClatchy over the river in Columbia, so we’re happy Keith has rejoined us as the lead local photographer.

Many longtime readers know Keith got his early, most formative training from now-retired Heyward “Bruz” Crowson, a Sumter legend who frequents the swamps of South Carolina with Mac McLeod and other dubious characters when he’s not shooting his Civil War guns and cannons.

Ho, ho, ho. Christmas is coming.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR RESTRICTIONS SHOULDN’T BE IMPOSED FOR BODY CAMERA USE The massive public reaction to the tragic deaths of three black teens at the hand of white police officers has led to a national call for use of body cameras to record and prevent any future mistreatment of suspects.

There is ample precedent. Animal protection activists have used body cameras to document egregious atrocities and safety violations by workers in the meat, dairy and egg industries.

The resulting videos have led to a number of corrective actions, as well as felony convictions, meat recalls and even a $500 million civil settlement.

How ironic then that agribusiness interests in seven states (Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, and Utah) have now enacted “ag-gag” laws imposing severe penalties for using body cameras in their agricultural facilities. The language is typically drafted by the anti-consumer American Legislative Exchange Council.

Let’s hope that other vested interests do not impose similar restrictions on the use of body cameras by law enforcement officers.

South Carolina’s roads need to be fixed now

S

outh Carolina’s highways are embarrassing.

Pockmarked with potholes, cars and trucks shuck and jive to make sure they get from one place to another. On Interstate 95, vehicles bump along as if on an old washboard dirt road. When they slip into Georgia, however, it’s like starting to glide on smooth water.

For a generation, South Carolina lawmakers have underinvested in roads, causing the problems we now have from the Upstate to the Pee Dee and Lowcountry. The Palmetto State has the nation’s fourth-largest road system, in part because more than 19,000 miles of local roads have been piecemealed into the state system.

What needs to happen — and what the General Assembly must focus on next year with laser precision — is a real and long-term solution to preserve the roads we have, fix the interstates and crumbling bridges and add lanes to existing hightraffic areas to make traveling easier for commerce and residents.

COMMENTARY You won’t like this, but it’s going to take more revenue. One way or another, it’s just going to take more money.

The S.C. Department of Transportation says state roads and bridges need an extra $42.8 billion — yes, billion — over the next 29 years to ensure that the system is in good condition.

That’s the equivalent of $1.47 billion Andy every year in Brack recurring new money for the next three decades.

When you consider the annual budget of the highway department is $1.6 billion a year — which includes $890 million in funding from the federal government — you get an idea of how much we have underinvested in state transportation infrastructure.

State officials say transportation needs can be broken into four categories:

‘You won’t like this, but it’s going to take more revenue. One way or another, it’s just going to take more money.’

Preservation. The state gets the biggest bang for its buck by preserving good roads by resurfacing them to keep them in good condition. For every $1 million, the state can preserve 87 miles of roads versus rehabilitating six lane miles or rebuilding four lane miles.

Currently, the state needs an extra $584 million per year to preserve existing roads, according to the highway department.

Expansion. To expand the network by adding more lane miles for widening projects, for example, the system needs an extra $352 million a year.

Routine maintenance. Rehabilitating, modernizing and rebuilding for mainte-

nance that has been deferred too long will cost an extra $397 million a year.

Bridges. To bring the state’s 8,419 bridges into shape, the DOT says the state needs to spend an extra $71 million a year on bridges that are substandard (1,610), structurally deficient (839), functionally obsolete (771), load-restricted (398) or closed (12).

How to pay for all of this extra work every year? The litany of alternatives for a blended solution includes: Raise the gas tax. S.C. has a 16.8-cent tax per gallon of gas, while neighboring states are much higher (28.5 cents/gallon in Georgia; 37.8 cents/gallon in N.C.).

Raising the tax by a dime a gallon will generate about $350 million a year.

More from the state. Legislators could add an additional statewide tax or fee to generate more General Fund revenue, or it could gamble on an unpredictable scheme to direct dollars from growth to roads. It would have to be a significant amount, however.

Fees, tax cap. Increasing registration fees or doubling the $300 sales tax cap

on vehicles would generate about $60 million each — not enough to make a big dent in the problem.

Raise the sales tax. The legislature also could pass a statewide special penny tax for roads, which would yield about $600 million annually. But with sales taxes already very high — and with billions of exemptions — it might be smarter to eliminate $1 billion in special interest exemptions than to raise a tax on all.

Borrow. This isn’t really an option as it won’t do the big job that’s needed and the state doesn’t have the capacity to borrow its way out of the festering problem.

“We need to have a minimum of a $600 million infusion of capital into the process — that’s a minimum of recurring dollars per year,” said state Chamber of Commerce President Otis Rawl.

Doing nothing on roads isn’t an option any more.

Otherwise, we’ll lose jobs and, perhaps, lives.

GIRLS PREP BASKETBALL

Familiar feel for Lakewood Lady Gators return all five starters in Field’s 2nd year

BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS justin@theitem.com Frances Fields and the Lakewood girls basketball team are feeling a little more comfortable with each other this season.

“Second year here now, so all of the girls kind of know what to expect from me in practices,” Fields said.

“Things are a little bit smoother, you could say.”

Smoother yes, but Fields is expecting more out of her players and the team in her second season at the helm. The Lady Gators went 15-8 last year and wound up second in the region – good enough for a FIELDS No. 2 playoff seed as LHS went on to win its first-round matchup before bowing out to Myrtle Beach in the second round.

Lakewood returns all but two players from that squad, including four seniors and all five starters. The Lady Gators were 2-0 already on the young season entering Saturday night’s game against 2A Lee Central.

“We’ve got some experience, but I’m throwing a little more at them this year than last year,” Fields said. “We’ve got new plays on offense, new plays on defense. They’re starting to pick things up, so once they get the concepts down, I think we’ll be in really good shape by region (play).”

Experience is a strength, but

Notice leads Gamecocks to 75-49 upset over Cowboys

LHS looks to build on last year’s success

BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press COLUMBIA — Something’s clicked the past few games for Duane Notice and it’s led to success for South Carolina.

Notice had 20 points, his fourth straight game in double digits, as the Gamecocks ended cold-shooting Oklahoma State’s perfect start to the season with a 75-49 victory Saturday.

Notice had a career high 27 points in South Carolina’s win at Marshall on Monday night.

NOTICE He and fellow guards Sindarius Thornwell and Tyrone Johnson locked down the Cowboy’s highscoring backcourt to hold THORNWELL Oklahoma State to its fewest points in five seasons.

Notice, who was slowed almost a month of preseason practice with mono, believes he’s back to his fearless, aggressive self on the floor.

“From a confidence standpoint, I can’t get too high or too low,” he said. “I can’t get complacent. I’ve just got to keep going.”

Alabama routs Missouri 42-13 for SEC title

BY PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press ATLANTA — Alabama locked up another title, with plenty of style points for the playoff committee.

Now, the Crimson Tide can go after the crown it really wants.

Blake Sims threw a pair of touchdown passes, T.J. Yeldon and Derrick Henry each had a couple of touchdown runs, and top-ranked Alabama pulled away in the fourth quarter to win its 24th Southeastern Conference championship with a 42-13 rout of No. 14 Missouri

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Alabama head coach Nick Saban, center, and players celebrate after beating Missouri 42-13 in Saturday’s Southeastern Conference championship in Atlanta. on Saturday.

Amari Cooper did nothing to hurt his Heisman chances with 12 receptions, the most in the game’s 23-year histo-

ry.

“I can’t tell you how proud I am of this team,” coach Nick Saban said. “I don’t know if I’ve ever been so

anxious to win a game for a group of guys.”

Missouri made it a onescore contest in the third quarter, closing to 21-13, but Alabama (12-1) put up three touchdowns over the final 15 minutes to lock up its spot in college football’s inaugural playoff. And if the committee was impressed by second-ranked Oregon’s 51-13 rout of Arizona in the Pac-12 title game Friday night, they got another equally dominating performance from the team on top of its latest rankings.

Spieth opens up 7-shot lead at Isleworth WINDERMERE, Fla. — Jordan Spieth flew from Japan to Australia to Dallas the last two weeks, took a day off and then came over to Florida for the Hero World Challenge.

His game traveled with him.

One week and half a world away from his sixshot victory in the Australian Open, Spieth was practically flawless Saturday at Isleworth. He opened with three straight SPIETH birdies and capped his day with a 50-foot birdie putt for a 9-under 63 and a sevenshot lead over Keegan Bradley and Henrik Stenson.

Spieth was at 20-under 196.

Tournament host Tiger Woods was 20 shots behind and in dire need of his antibiotics taking effect. Woods lost his voice overnight and had nausea on the practice range and the golf course.

He felt slightly better at the end of his round when he made three straight birdies for a 69.

CHRIST CHURCH WINS 4TH STRAIGHT TITLE

COLUMBIA — Andrew Slade threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third to lead Christ Church to its 54th straight victory and its fourth consecutive Class A Division I state championship with a 23-14 win over Bamberg-Eh-

rhardt on Friday.

Slade passed for 193 yards and two touchdowns in the opening half as the Cavaliers (14-0) took a 16-7 lead at the break. He added a 1-yard rushing TD in the third quarter to finish a 76-yard, 12-play drive to put Christ Church up 23-7.

Bamberg-Ehrhardt (12-2) got a 95-yard kickoff return touchdown from Keyshawn Orr to cut into the lead after Slade’s scoring run. But the Red Raiders got no closer.

SOUTH POINTE WINS 3RD STATE TITLE IN 9 YEARS

COLUMBIA — Greg Ruff threw three touchdown passes to lead South Pointe to its third state championship in nine years of playing varsity football with a 21-7 victory over Hartsville in the Class 3A title game Saturday.

Ruff threw scoring passes of a pair of 12-yard TD passes to Quay Brown and a 17yard fourth quarter strike to Josh Wilkes. Ruff finished 13-of-18 for 154 yards.

Hartsville (14-1) got within a score late in the third quarter on a two-yard touchdown run by Brian Rivers, who had 75 yards on 14 carries. The Stallions answered quickly with the 17yard TD pass from Ruff to Wilkes to seal it.

SPARTANBURG BEATS YORK 49-28 FOR STATE TITLE

COLUMBIA — Austin Scott threw for three touchdowns and ran for one to lead Spartanburg to its first state

championship since 2001 in a 49-28 victory over York on Saturday in the Class 4A Division II title game.

Scott had touchdown passes of 69 yards to Tavien Feaster, 58 yards to Cedarius Rookard and 34 yards to Tavaris Scott and added a scoring run of 1-yard. The junior finished 16-for-22 passing for 320 yards.

Spartanburg (12-3) has won six state titles overall.

Coach Chris Miller won his fifth state championship and his first with the Vikings. He won the previous four while at Byrnes.

HILLCREST WINS 1ST TITLE WITH 47-17 VICTORY

COLUMBIA — JD Ballenger ran for two touchdowns and Hillcrest overwhelmed defending champion Dutch Fork 47-17 for its first-ever state title Sunday.

Ballenger had a 67-yarder and added a 3-yard TD in the second half when the Rams (14-1) outscored Dutch Fork 28-0.

Marco Westfield put Hillcrest ahead for good, 19-17, with a 48-yard interception return for a touchdown with 6:17 left in the opening half.

Dutch Fork’s offense managed only 38 yards after halftime without quarterback Tate Fant, who left with a concussion.

Hillcrest only had two playoff wins in their 56-year history before marching to the title with a 4-0 run through the playoffs.

KEEPING UP

Chiefs, Cardinals look Holmes getting back to snap 2-game skids

BY BOB BAUM The Associated Press

into college basketball

NFL STANDINGS Atlanta New Orleans Carolina Tampa Bay NORTH

By The Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Kansas City Chiefs have dropped two in a row and are in danger of falling out of the AFC playoff race.

The Arizona Cardinals have lost two straight and are clinging to a one-game lead in the NFC West.

One team will get back on the right track when the Chiefs (7-5) and Cardinals (9-3) meet Sunday.

The other could be in serious trouble.

“It’s almost identical,” Arizona coach Bruce Arians said. “Both have two-game losing streaks and bad tastes in their mouths and need to get it out.”

Last Sunday night, the Chiefs lost at home to Denver 29-16, falling two games behind the firstplace Broncos and one behind San Diego in the NFC West. The Broncos game followed an upset loss at previously winless Oakland.

“We started 0-2 and bounced back and got a bunch of wins,” Kansas City tight end Anthony Fasano said, “and I think we’re going to need that same grit this time of year.”

The Cardinals lost at Seattle, then last Sunday fell at Atlanta 29-18 in their worst performance of the season.

By Thursday, the Arizona players were tired of talking about the Falcons debacle.

“I don’t read yesterday’s newspapers,” inside linebacker Larry Foote said. “I know this week we’re going to be ready to face the Chiefs.”

The Cardinals welcome back wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, who missed the previous two games with a sprained knee and was sorely missed. Arians said the team needs Fitzgerald’s energy and passion, as well as his abilities.

“Larry makes plays,” Arians said. “He’s very seldom doublecovered. The plays he makes ... and he makes big plays after the catch. Those are the things we were missing.”

The Cardinals will be missing running back Andre Ellington, who sustained a hip pointer against the Falcons and already had problems with his foot and other hip.

Here are things to look for when the Chiefs meet the Cardinals: WEAKNESS VS WEAKNESS

MONDAY’S GAME

Atlanta at Green Bay, 8:30 p.m.

ranks 30th, surrendering 136 yards per game. Arizona’s running game ranks 31st with an anemic 74.8 yards per game.

Without Ellington, Arizona will start Stepfan Taylor at running back. But expect significant playing time for undrafted rookie Marion Grice, the former Arizona State back picked up off the San Diego practice squad three weeks into the season.

THIRD DOWNS

Both teams have been awful on third down lately.

The Chiefs were 1 for 9 against Denver, Arizona was 1 for 7 against Atlanta and 3 for 12 against Seattle.

“We’ve got to sustain drives is what we need to do,” Kansas City coach Andy Reid said. “That’s been one of our strengths and the last couple weeks we haven’t done that. That’s my responsibility to make sure that we get guys in the right position to be able to keep those chains moving and put something together. We’ve had way too many three-and-outs.”

STOPPING JAMAAL

The Cardinals hadn’t allowed a 100-yard rusher in 21 consecutive games before Steven Jackson got 101 (55 on one carry) last week.

Now they have a huge challenge trying to stop or at least slow down Jamaal Charles.

“He’s got speed, he’s tough; he’s

got great speed and he blocks,” Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles said. “He has outstanding feet. He can make you miss just subtly. Where most guys have to jump and juke, he can just sidestep and keep on going. He’s arguably the top one or two in the league.”

Charles had just 10 carries for 35 yards last week against Denver.

He banged up his knee during the game, but Reid said that Charles will be close to 100 percent for the Cardinals.

FORCING TURNVOERS

The Chiefs were among the NFL’s best last season with 36 takeaways, and had six touchdown returns. Yet they only have 10 takeaways this season, putting them near the bottom of the league. The Cardinals have 21 takeaways, only one in the last two games.

WRS MIA

The Chiefs still do not have a touchdown reception by a wide receiver. Only three teams have ever gone through an entire season without one, the last being the New York Giants in 1964.

“We’re not worried about who scores, we’re worried that we do score,” quarterback Alex Smith said. “That’ll kind of remain our focus, spreading the ball around, and hopefully everybody is getting in on the action.”

fter a long layoff, Scooter Holmes is playing college basketball again.

The Lee Central High School graduate is completing his final year of eligibility at The University of Texas of the Permian Basin. The senior connected with UTPB because assistant coach Jason Cunningham was his head coach at Oxnard College in California.

“As soon as he dusts off the cobwebs from not playing for two years, I expect his playing time will increase,” UTPB head coach Andy Newman said. “He’s incredibly athletic.”

Holmes last played during 201112 for California State University, San Bernardino, which he said “wasn’t a good fit.” The then-juHOLMES nior averaged 3.1 points and 2.3 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per game.

The past two years he played pickup games, noting that it was “in the back of my mind” to complete his eligibility.

He has been a reserve on a team of upperclassmen — Barbara nine seniors and four juniors — capable of putting points Boxleitner on the board. The Falcons enKEEPING UP tered Saturday leading the Heartland Conference in scoring offense with 98.2 points per game, which ranked fourth in the nation among NCAA Division II schools.

“He’s getting used to playing basketball with the coach in the gym,” Newman said. “It’s a little bit of an adjustment. We play fast.”

A top scorer on his high school and community college teams, Holmes isn’t in that situation now. “I’m not used to playing on a team where everybody can score,” said Holmes, adding that he has become more of a perimeter shooter than an inside guy.

Through six games (5-1), he averaged 3.2 points and 2.2 rebounds. He had season highs of 10 points and six rebounds in a season-high 15 minutes against Southwestern Adventist University.

Holmes said he will get more minutes when his team defense improves. “I’m focusing on being able to help my teammates when they need help,” he said. “It’s a learning experience.”

Newman is glad to have Holmes on board.

“I’ve been incredibly happy with him at this point,” he said. “I expect nothing but really good things from him in the future. He’s a big piece of our program.”

Coastal opens FCS playoffs with 36-15 win over Richmond CONWAY (AP) — Coastal Carolina scored the first 21 points of the game while its defense clamped down on Richmond in a 36-15 victory on Saturday in a second-round FCS playoff game.

Alex Ross completed 22 of 41 passes for 171 yards and a 13yard scoring toss ROSS to Craig Weick for the seventhseeded Chanticleers (12-1).

De’Angelo Henderson rushed for 134 yards and a 50-yard touchdown run. Ross became CCU’s all-timer passing leader with 6,511 yards.

Richmond’s Michael Strauss was 26-of-53 passing for 402 yards — though only 216 through the first three quarters. He had touchdown throws of 76 and 15 yards to Brian Brown, who finished with 181 yards receiving. Reggie Diggs added 140 yards receiving for the Spiders (9-5).

Strauss was intercepted twice.

Quinn Backus led the CCU defense with 10 tackles. Richmond entered the game first in the FCS in third-down conversions but was only 2 of 13 on Saturday.

Coastal Carolina will take on second-seeded North Dakota State in the quarterfinals.

North Dakota State defeated South Dakota State 27-24 on Saturday.

SEC TITLE FROM PAGE B1 For Saban and the Tide, this one was especially sweet.

A year ago, Alabama was poised to make a run at its third straight national title when Auburn won the Iron Bowl on the final play — a 109-yard return of a missed field goal.

The sting from that one will never totally go away, but this sure helped. Even though plucky Missouri (10-3) hung around much of the game, the Tide booked a likely trip to New Orleans for a semifinal game in the Sugar Bowl.

“People minimize the importance of this game. They all want to talk about the playoff,” Saban said. “I tell you what, this is a significant accomplishment.

It’s tough to win your division.

It’s tough to win this game.”

Alabama was ranked No. 1 by the playoff committee after winning the brutal SEC West. By knocking off the East champion, the Tide made it three SEC titles in Saban’s dominating eight years as coach, a run that increasingly looks like the second coming of Bear Bryant in a much more competitive era.

If Saban can win two more games, it would be his fourth national title in Tuscaloosa, another step closer to Bryant’s five AP titles.

With offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin calling a bunch of short passes and runs to deal with Missouri’s pass rush, the Tide went 68 yards in 10 plays — never even going to third down — to seize a 7-0 lead less than 4 minutes into the game.

Missouri, which reached the title game for the second year in a row despite an ugly loss to Indiana and a 34-0 blowout at home by Georgia, managed to stay in this one thanks to Maty Mauk’s deep passing. He completed throws of 63, 47, 32 and 26 yards, one of them on a Johnny Manziellike scramble in which he threw back across his body running to his left.

The Tigers’ lone touchdown was a 1-yard pass to Bud Sasser on fourth-and-goal.

That wasn’t nearly enough against the Crimson Tide juggernaut.

Sims, the game’s MVP, pushed Alabama to a 14-0 lead with a 58-yard touchdown pass to DeAndrew White.

Sims hung in the pocket despite a brutal hit that got Missouri’s star defensive end, Shane Ray, ejected from the game for targeting.

Iowa State defensive back Kamari Cotton-Moya (5) tackles TCU wide receiver Deante’ Gray (20) during the Horned Frogs’ 55-3 victory at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. TCU earned a share of the Big 12 title with Saturday’s victory.

TCU routs Iowa State 55-3 FORT WORTH, Texas — TCU coach Gary Patterson fired a football into the stands at Amon G. Carter Stadium, toward the Horned Frogs fans waving Big 12 championship towels and chanting, “Gary! Gary!”

The players sported their Big 12 champion baseball caps and conference commissioner Bob Bowlsby gave the Frogs a trophy.

Whether the Frogs get to play for another championship — a national title — remains to be seen.

Trevone Boykin passed for a careerhigh 460 yards and caught a touchdown pass as No. 4 TCU earned a share of the conference title and kept its playoff bid alive with a 55-3 victory against lowly Iowa State on Saturday.

The Horned Frogs (11-1, 8-1 Big 12) came into championship weekend ranked third in the College Football Playoff selection committee’s rankings. TCU was the only playoff contender not playing a ranked team this weekend.

There wasn’t much the Frogs could do help themselves against the Cyclones (2-10, 0-9), but they avoided the type of clunker that could have caused the committee to downgrade them.

OKLAHOMA STATE 38 (18) OKLAHOMA 35

NORMAN, Okla. — Tyreek Hill returned a punt 92 yards for a touchdown with 45 seconds remaining to force overtime and Ben Grogan kicked a 21-yard field goal in the extra period to give Oklahoma State a 38-35 victory over No. 18 Oklahoma on Saturday.

On the first overtime possession, Oklahoma’s Michael Hunnicutt missed a 44-yard field goal attempt.

Oklahoma State took over and pounded the ball with Desmond Roland to set up the winning kick.

Cato rolled out to his right and hit McManus in the back corner of the end zone to give Marshall its first lead of the game. On the first play after the ensuing kickoff, Neville Hewitt intercepted Cody Sokol and Marshall ran out the clock.

The Bearcats followed that script so often during the second half of the season — all the way to a title celebration.

Kiel for a pair of touchdowns before leaving with leg cramps, and Mike Boone ran for three touchdowns as Cincinnati held on for a 38-31 victory over Houston on Saturday that that clinched a share of the American Athletic Conference championship.

Michigan upset by NJIT 72-70 ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Damon Lynn made a critical 3-pointer with less than three minutes to go and finished with 20 points to help New Jersey Institute of Technology stun No. 17 Michigan 72-70 Saturday.

Caris LeVert scored 32 points for Michigan but the Wolverines (6-2) as a team only shot 42 percent from the field.

NJIT held the Wolverines’ comeback efforts at bay, sealing the win when Daquan Holiday corralled the ball with 4.3 seconds remaining and made two free throws.

The Highlanders (3-5) made 11 of 17 3 pointers and got 17 points each from Willis Winfield and Ky Howard.

Derrick Walton added 16 points for Michigan. He was the only other Wolverines player in double digits.

Spike Albrecht, who sealed Tuesday’s win over Syracuse with a late 3-point dagger, tried to wake Michigan up, hitting a 3-pointer from the top of the key and racing back to draw a charge at the 11-minute mark.

But the Highlanders wouldn’t go away. Tim Coleman and Howard each hit 3-pointers, part of a 10-3 NJIT run that cut Michigan’s lead 10 16-15 with 7:35 to go.

(2) WISCONSIN 49 MARQUETTE 38

MILWAUKEE — Josh Gasser scored 12 points on four 3-pointers, 7-footer Frank Kaminsky added 15 points and 10 rebounds and No. 2 Wisconsin managed a 49-38 win Saturday over Marquette.

The Badgers (8-1) shot 32 percent while contending with a 2-3 zone defense by the undersized Golden Eagles, who don’t have a starter taller than 6-foot-7.

But Wisconsin looked sloppy at times in the second half, and Marquette (4-4) chipped away at a 10-point halftime deficit. Two foul shots by Sandy Cohen III with 8:57 left cut the lead to 35-33 to get upset-minded fans cheering at the Bradley Center.

GAMECOCKS FROM PAGE B1 usually good news for the Gamecocks (5-3). They’ve won their past three, all with Notice in double figures.

South Carolina coach Frank Martin said Notice had progressed strongly in the offseason until the illness set him back. Once Notice returned to the court, he wasn’t the take-charge leader he’d been previously. Things changed, Martin said, in South Carolina’s 1-2 showing at the Charleston Classic last month.

“Something clicked,” Martin said. “Duane said, ‘Enough of this standingaround, unaggressive play.’”

That’s obvious the past two weeks and essential to beating the Cowboys (7-1) for the first non-Southeastern Conference win against an opponent from a Power Five league in Martin’s three seasons.

The Gamecocks (5-3) used a 20-4 run midway through the second half to take control in the Big 12/SEC Challenge game.

After Anthony Hickey’s basket drew Oklahoma State to 37-32, Demetrius Henry and Notice hit jumpers to start the surge. Johnson had 8 points in the decisive stretch, including a pair of three-point plays — the last which put the Gamecocks up 57-36 with 11:56 remaining.

The Cowboys, averaging better than 79 points a game this year, finished with their lowest output in five seasons.

Leading scorers Phil Forte III and Le’Bryan Nash were a combined 5 of 29 shooting for 18 points, less than half the 37.6 they had put up so far this season.

away to an 82-62 victory over Winthrop on Saturday.

Jared Nickens added 12 points for the Terrapins (8-1), who bounced back from a double-digit home loss to No. 7 Virginia on Wednesday.

In this one, Maryland trailed by nine points in the first half and was tied shortly after halftime before finally creating some separation.

Keon Moore led Winthrop (3-4) with 20 points and Keon Johnson had 18. It’s been a strange season for the Eagles, who defeated Clemson on the road but also lost to Savannah State and Jacksonville State.

Booth and Darrun Hilliard each had 11 to lead No. 10 Villanova to a 74-46 win over Saint Joseph’s on Saturday.

The Wildcats (8-0) scored the first eight points, led by 15 only 6 minutes into the game and treated the rest of it like a glorified exhibition against one of their biggest rivals.

DeAndre Bembry led the Hawks (4-4) with 13 points.

GREEN BAY 68 (15) MIAMI 55

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Green Bay guard Keifer Sykes hopped happily across the lane after scoring one clutch basket, and threw a jubilant fist after another. Then in the final seconds his teammates did all the celebrating while Sykes dribbled in the corner to run out the clock on the 15th-ranked Miami Hurricanes.

Sykes scored 18 points and junior Carrington Love had a career-high 20 Saturday to help Green Bay hand the Hurricanes their first defeat,

68-55.

Fourth-year coach Brian Wardle said the upset was a milestone for the Phoenix, coming on the road against a ranked team.

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Matt Costello and Travis Trice each scored 15 points to lead No. 19 Michigan State past Arkansas-Pine Bluff 85-52 on Saturday.

“We were playing well” coming in, Cowboys coach Travis Ford said. “But they took us out of some of the things we wanted to do.”

Nash had 13 points.

Johnson and Sindarius Thornwell had 13 points each for South Carolina. Mindaugas Kacinas had nine points and 12 rebounds.

The Cowboys finished 16 of 65 shooting, a .246 percentage. It was their fewest points since losing to Texas 61-48 on Jan. 26, 2011.

Oklahoma State came in as one of the Big 12’s highest scoring and best shooting teams, averaging 79.4 points a game and making 48.8 percent of its shots to trail only Iowa State in that category.

But the Cowboys were ice cold against South Carolina.

Forte, coming off a career high 32 points in an 87-61 victory over North Texas, was

just 1 of 8 from the field. His teammates fared almost as poorly, Oklahoma State making only eight of 31 shots the first 20 minutes — and just four of 21 attempts inside the arc.

Forte had just 5 points and made only one of his 14 shots.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — With the opposing styles of American and No. 24 Illinois, something had to give.

American entered the game ranked third in scoring defense, while Illinois was 10th in offense at 86 points per game.

The game was played at a sluggish pace, but the Illini pulled away from the Eagles 70-55 behind 13 points from Malcolm Hill.

The Illini (7-1) only led by two points midway through the first half, but a 17-2 run put the Eagles (5-4) in an early deficit.

STATE ROUNDUP USC-UPSTATE 59 GEORGIA TECH 54 ATLANTA — Ty Greene is not one of the five Georgians on USC-Upstate’s roster, but the senior guard looked like the most excited Spartan Saturday after scoring 13 of his game-high 16 points in the second half as USC-Upstate stretched its winning streak against ACC schools to two with a 59-54 win at Georgia Tech.

The Spartans (8-2), from Spartanburg, S.C., lost their first seven all-time games to ACC teams before beating Virginia Tech 64-63 last season, and the Yellow Jackets (6-2) in McCamish Pavilion.

Greene stole the ball from Georgia Tech’s Marcus Georges-Hunt, and went the other way for a layup and a free throw after GeorgesHunt fouled him for a 52-48

credited South Carolina’s defense, but still struggled to find something good to take away from the Cowboys’ first loss this season. “There aren’t many positives out there for us,” he said.

Oklahoma State: The Cowboys offense is working well so far. They lead the Big 12 Conference — and are ninth nationally — in scoring margin. They’re second in league 3-pointers made per game

CLINTON — Kayel Locke scored 20 points, grabbed eight rebounds and had a late putback basket as UNC Greensboro held off Presbyterian 55-53 Saturday.

Nicholas Paulos chipped in 11 points and RJ White had 11 with 10 rebounds for the Spartans (2-6), who shot 43.6 percent from the field.

William Truss paced Presbyterian (3-6) with 17 points and eight rebounds and Jordan Downing had 13 and seven. Markus Terry contributed 12 points and Austin Anderson had six assists.

THE CITADEL 67 NAVY 60

CHARLESTON — Jake Wright scored 21 points off the bench, including 6 of 10 from behind the 3-point line, to lead The Citadel to a 67-60 win over Navy on Saturday afternoon.

Ashton Moore added 13 points for the Bulldogs (3-4), P.J. Horgan finished with 12 points, and C.J. Bray had 10 points and a team-leading eight rebounds.

Brandon Venturini scored 18 points to lead Navy (2-6).

Jason Hemphill added nine points and a game-high 11 rebounds, and Will Kelly had eight points for the Midshipmen.

WOFFORD 88 FLORIDA NATIONAL 57

SPARTANBURG— Justin Gordon was a perfect 6 of 6 from the field, his 15 points leading four others into double figures as Wofford remained perfect at home with an 88-57 defeat of Florida National on Saturday.

Lee Skinner and Derrick Brooks each scored 13 for the Terriers (7-2), who are 4-0 at home, and Spencer Collins added 12 points, Jaylen Allen 10.

LHS FROM PAGE B1 to expect now,” Brown said.

“They know what my expectations are and what we want to accomplish this year. Our goal is to win the region, win a playoff game and see what happens from there.”

This will be the Gators’ first year under Brown, who takes over the program after being an assistant for the last three seasons under Terrence Scriven, now the athletic director at Sumter High. Brown’s familiarity with the players and the program made the transition smooth, he said.

The fact that Lakewood returns 10 players, nine seniors and three to four starters doesn’t hurt either.

The Gators were 1-1 entering Saturday’s contest against Lee Central, and already starting to show signs of what Brown hopes they will grow into come region time, he said.

“I wanted to push the tempo this year,” Brown said.

“We have a lot of guys who can shoot and a lot of guys who can create things, so I wanted to have a more uptempo style.”

Brown will keep 15 players on his bench, giving LHS the ability to not only push the pace, but to mix and match depending on the opponent, he said.

“I think we can definitely go 10 or so deep this year,” Brown said. “I think our lineups will change, depending on if we need to go bigger or smaller, and depending on who we’re up against. We’ll

be able to match up with whatever we see.”

The Gators return their top three scorers from a season ago in junior point guard Jarvis Johnson, senior shooting guard Robert Grant and sophomore guard Jalen White.

Johnson led the team with 11.3 points per game followed

by Grant (8.5) and White (7.0).

Senior forward Tyshawn Johnson was also a part of that starting mix, giving LHS a wealth of experience.

“Jarvis is a great ball handler and we’re expecting even bigger things from him this year,” Brown said. “Robert was one of the top 3-point shooters in the state last year along with Ray Davis, who’s another outside weapon that we have.”

Davis, Daquan Tindel, Jaylan Wactor, Brandon Gholson, Andre Washington and sophomore guard Tyrell Still will give Brown plenty of options to choose from. Tindel scored 22 points in the Gators’ first game and Still, a newcomer, had a solid outing as well on both sides.

Perhaps the biggest impact – literally and figuratively – will come from freshman forward Jerrell Kelly. Kelly stands at 6-foot-7-inches tall and gives the Gators much needed size and a rebounding presence they were lacking last season.

“Jerrell’s worked very hard and he’s probably going to be seeing a lot more minutes as the season goes on,” Brown said. “He had a big game in our opener with two dunks, and I think he’s going to be a key piece for us this season.”

Lakewood senior Shalexia Pack, right, is one of many returning offensive starters who will look to guide the Lady Gators to a possible Region VI-3A title this season after a 15-8 campaign last year.

FAMILIAR FROM PAGE B1 depth is not. Fields will have just nine players on her bench – and with the added foul emphasis on use of hands, keeping all of her players out of foul trouble will likely be a year-long struggle.

“We still want to play an aggressive type of defense, only with less fouls,” Fields said. “I know (the rule change) has caused my players to take a step back defensively, but we have to learn that you can still play an aggressive defense within the rules.”

That being said, the new rules could benefit Lakewood on the offensive side.

“I think we’re going to have to be quick on our feet and quick to go from defense to offense,” Fields said. “I feel like we have some skills and players that will benefit from that.

“We’ll be a lot like we were last year on offense.

The main thing is just to execute.”

All of the Lady Gators’ top offensive weapons are back, including guard Sonora Dengokl who was tabbed by the S.C. Basketball Coaches Association as one of the top five seniors in 3A. Dengokl led LHS with16.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game last season.

She’s joined by senior forward Shalexia Pack, junior forward Shanekia Jackson, sophomore guard Kamryn Lemon and junior forward Taja Randolph as the top group for LHS. Lemon was second on the team last year with 10 points per game while Jackson averaged 4.5 rebounds per contest. Lemon also led the team with three

Randolph, who stands tallest on the squad at 5-foot-11, will be one of the key two-players for Fields this season, she said.

“When she’s averaging a double-double, we’re in good shape,” Fields said.

“Sonora’s going to get her points, but I’m expecting Taja to have much more of an impact on both ends of the court.

The Lady Gators got widespread contributions in their opening game. Den-

gokl had a double-double and Jackson just missed one with 14 points and eight rebounds. Randolph had eight points and seven rebounds, Pack scored eight points and Lemon was third on the team with 11 points.

“I’m expecting pretty much everyone on the roster to contribute at some point,” Fields said. “We’re low in numbers so we’re going to have to get the best effort from every player on the court in practice and in games to get to where we want to be at the end of the season.”

Costumed docents teach visitors to the museum’s Carolina Backcountry how to play the 18th-century game of rings, or “The Graces,” which is harder than it looks.

Museum treats us to old-fashioned Christmas

Celebrate in 1800s’ homestead

BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com

W

ith Christmas shopping in full swing, many people find themselves longing for the “good old days,” when acquiring more and more “stuff” was not the primary focus of the holidays. Whether we fall into that category or not, the Sumter County Museum will offer us respite — and a fascinating look into early 19thcentury Christmas traditions — during Saturday’s Carolina Backcountry Christmas.

The celebration is set in the museum’s homestead, which is an authentic reproduction of a late 18th-/early 19th-century Sumter area farm.

In fact, two of the buildings are not reproductions at all, but an actual Commissary and Settler’s House that were relocated to the museum a quarter century ago. They were built by early settlers around 200 years ago. The commissary, which sits beside the Settler’s House, was used for storage, most likely for cloth, seeds and other supplies necessary to keep the homestead going.

Other buildings, include

the Loom House, blacksmith forge, a barn and a schoolhouse with students’ hornbooks, slates and quills. These buildings were made from wood recycled from dilapidated buildings around the area.

There is also a non-functioning privy, or outhouse, and the vegetable and herb gardens.

Costumed interpreters will be available during the hours of the event, 2 to 4 p.m., to provide information about the buildings and to demonstrate skills the early settlers had to have in order to survive on the farm. Among them are cooking over an open fire, spinning and weaving cloth to make their clothes, gardening, woodworking, blacksmithing, washing clothes, dipping candles and making lace.

Backcountry Manager Deborah Watts plans to roast chestnuts over her outdoor fire and will have other foods for sampling by backcountry visitors. Docent Suanne Richendrfr said she and others will be making the traditional Christmas sugar cookies and Kensington punch, similar to cider with its “kick” from cinnamon.

Games of the era, also

handmade by the settlers and probably given to children for Christmas, will be available for both adults and children to play. Visitors can try yo-yos, ball-and-cup, spinning tops, walking on stilts, tossing rings, and playing other fun games, Watts said.

She emphasized that the Backcountry’s Christmas event is “very simple, just like Christmas was during the” late 17th and early 18th centuries.

On Wednesday, she was busy gathering the greenery for the decorations.

“They didn’t have Christmas trees,” she said. “The custom of decorating trees became very popular during Victorian times.”

That was likely due to the popularity of Queen Victoria herself and her husband, Prince Albert. Whatever they did, their followers were eager to copy.

Christians in Germany started bringing greens into their homes for Christmas in the 16th century. Many sources state that while Americans Museum volunteer Frank Holloway helps Laura Kirby fire a pistol from thought having trees in their the early 19th century during a Carolina Backcountry event.

STUDENTS MAKE CHORUS Nineteen Sumter School District students have been selected for the South Carolina AllState Chorus this year. The students were among several thousand students statewide who auditioned for the limited number of slots.

Crestwood High School students selected were De’Marcus Dow-Carey, Nathaniel Ervin, Lavonte Glisson, Ghassen Green, Joseph Green, Richard Martinez, Malek McDuffie, Eddie Milledge, Emily Peidl, Amber Timmons, Michaela Tindal, and Leondre Williams.

Crestwood chorus director is Deborah Horton.

The All-State Chorus competition is the most competitive choral competition at the high school level. The 19 students, along with others students from across South Carolina, will perform under the direction of a guest choral clinician in March at Winthrop University in Rock Hill.

CIVITANS FEATURED Lakewood High School Junior Civitans Club was featured in the national Junior Civitan Organization’s fall edition of the “Insider” newsletter. The group was the first one mentioned in the “Outdoing Everything” section.

The recognition came because the Lakewood chapter held a Kindness Campaign. According to the article, “At each meeting, members write on post-it notes with positive words of encouragement and leave them in classrooms on students’ desks. In return, they leave blank post-it notes for the class to complete. The teacher then collects them and leaves the notes in another room. The cycle of kindness continues!”

The advisers to the awardwinning Lakewood Chapter are Dee Lane and Jamie Lessard.

FANTASY OF LIGHTS Many groups from the Sumter School District music programs have already performed or will perform at the annual Fantasy of Lights at Swan Lake Iris Festivals in December.

DEAR ABBY — I was at the hairdresser yesterday, and when I went to the register to pay, the receptionist asked me if I Dear Abby was over 65 “so I could get ABIGAIL the senior disVAN BUREN count.” Abby, I am only 55! I found her question insulting, and several of my friends have had this same experience. I appreciate the young woman trying to save me a couple of dollars, but I’d rather pay full price than be asked if I want the discount.

Why don’t businesses that offer senior citizen discounts just post a notice near the register? That way, if a customer is entitled to it, she or he can ask for it when they check out rather than have to hear that they look older than they are.

‘A date which will live in infamy ... ‘ December 7, 1941 -- Remembering Pearl Harbor

T

he focus of this issue of Reflections is one of history’s most remembered dates, December 7, 1941, and the Japanese surprise attack on the naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Information used to prepare this article was taken from The Sumter Item Archives and Wikipedia, and the photos used were provided from multiple sources.

On Sunday morning, Dec. 7, 1941, at 7:48 a.m., 353 Japanese fighters, bombers and torpedo planes approached the U.S. Naval Station in two waves and wrought destruction on the base and its military personnel.

All eight of the U.S. battleships in the harbor were damaged; the U.S.S. Arizona was sunk along with 3 cruisers, 3 destroyers and one minelayer; 2,403 Americans were killed; Sammy Way 1,178 were wounded; 188 aircraft were deREFLECTIONS stroyed. According to Wikipedia “Japanese losses were placed at 29 planes and 5 midget submarines; 65 servicemen were killed and one was captured.”

The United States was jolted into World War II and promptly declared war on the Axis powers on Dec. 8, 1941.

The following comments on Pearl Harbor were taken from an interview conducted by Jack Copeland, a reporter with The Sumter Daily Item, who interviewed Lt. Col. Fred Dean in December of 1967. Copeland describes Dean as “Sumter’s only known survivor of Pearl Harbor.” Dean’s description of that day was summed up in his statement, “It was hell from the heavens.”

Dean was involved in a training exercise near Hickam Field on that fateful day. This military installation was the scene of the greatest damage inflicted on U.S. forces during the attack. He could not recall how long it took to get 20 U.S. planes in the sky to engage the enemy; however, he remembers there was adequate equipment to fight the attackers and had U.S. forces received warning, more damage could have been done to the Japanese.

Dean stated, “I’ll never forget December 7, 1941 … . The dead, dying, wounded and unbelievable destruction will always remain fixed in my mind.”

O’Brien honored for extensive acting career

BY NICK THOMAS Tinseltown Talks Throughout the 1930s, Shirley Temple sang and danced her way into the hearts of Depression-weary movie audiences. A decade later, adorable Margaret O’Brien endeared herself to millions seeking Hollywood diversions as World War II came and went.

In acknowledgement of her influence on other young actors, O’Brien was presented with the Actors Fund Shirley Temple Award on Dec. 4. And on Monday, she will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Southern California Motion Picture Council.

Far from retired at 77, this year O’Brien completed work on a new film version of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” which also features Mickey Rooney.

It’s due for release next spring — see http://socalemc.com/ jekyllhyde/?p=194.

“It’s called the ‘Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,’” said O’Brien. “I’ll always cherish this movie because it’s the last film Mickey made.”

O’Brien’s connection to Rooney goes back to the 1941 film “Babes on Broadway.”

“That was my first movie when I was only 3 years old,” she said. “Mickey and I didn’t have any scenes together, but I can still remember him walking by and saying ‘Hello, what a cute little girl!’”

In her second film, “Journey for Margaret,” based on the William L. White novel, O’Brien’s acclaimed perfor-

“I so connected with the character that I legally change my name from Maxine to Margaret,” she explained.

An avid reader as a child, O’Brien was thrilled to tackle more roles based on the books she grew up with – “Little Women,” “Jane Eyre” and “The Secret Garden.”

“How many children get to play a character from their favorite books?” asked O’Brien.

“I knew them so well, it was just fabulous to create them on the screen.”

Starring in almost 20 films throughout the 1940s, little Margaret astonished audienc-

es with a display of adult emotions though she was not yet even a teenager.

“I think movie kids are just a little more mature in some ways,” she said. “I knew it was a job, not playacting, and that others depended on me to know my lines. I took my work very seriously.”

Her range of emotions was evident in the MGM classic, “Meet Me in St. Louis,” but also in less widely known films such as “Our Grapes Have Tender Vines.”

“The screenplay was by blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo, so it was not shown for many years,” O’Brien said.

But now people know and love this great story. Edward

G. Robinson played my father and said it was one of his favorite roles.”

In one rather dangerous flood scene, O’Brien’s character is swept away in a tin bathtub by the rising river waters.

“They put braids on Jerry Maren who was my stand-in,” said O’Brien. “So I was doubled by one of the ‘The Wizard of Oz’ Munchkins!”

In her teen years, O’Brien’s cuteness blossomed into youthful beauty. At 19, a stunning photo was featured on the cover of Life Magazine.

However, throughout the ‘50s, she only appeared in three feature films, including the horse racing drama “Glory.”

But, she says, it wasn’t be-

YESTERYEAR, FROM PAGE C1 • The Sumter Kiwanis Club is sponsoring an Annual IrisGarden Week, with each and every Civic Club of the community cooperating, to bring into Sumter visitors from all over South Carolina to witness the very finest flower show in all America — the perfect Iris Garden — a wonderland of beauty, located a short distance from the city, where the owner, H.C. Bland, has created for all of our citizens the show-place of the south. Of course, there are many lovely gardens all through the low country, but when one wishes a thrill of beauty, no spot can approach the magnificence of thousands of iris, every imaginable color, in full bloom.

50 YEARS AGO – 1965 Feb. 28–March 6 It was a frantic finish to the basketball season for Bantam girls Saturday at Columbia as they fought their way to runner-up honors in the annual Hand Invitational Tournament. Coach Peggy Davis’ girls battled Thaxton Junior high of Orangeburg down to the final seconds of the championship game but when time ran out the Orangeburg girls held a 38-36 winning margin.

This left McLaurin with a 144-1 record for the season – their best in a long time. And they had the big, silver runner-up trophy to show off at school.

• On August 4, 1890, the late E.H. Moses sold his first block of ice in Sumter. From that beginning developed the Sumter Ice and Fuel Co., which is now managed by his two sons, E.H. Moses Jr. and D.M. Moses, and his grandson, E.H. Moses III. The 75th year of artificial ice making in Sumter is being celebrated by this company. Sumter’s first ice plant was opened by Mr. Moses, his father, Perry Moses, and his brother Josh Harby on a site almost where the plant of the Nu-Idea Furniture Co. is now located. It was known as the Sumter Ice Manufacturing Co. • School District 17 is complying with the Civil Rights Law by submitting a voluntary desegregation plan to the U.S. Department of Education. Today was the deadline for state school districts to sign a pledge of compliance with the Rights Law or submit a school desegregation plan.

Failure to comply with one of these alternatives would result in a cutoff of federal aid.

The city school system last

year received slightly more than $400,000 in federal aid.

• Plans to select the outstanding young educator of Sumter were announced today by Dick Lee, president of the Sumter Junior Chamber of Commerce. Jaycee chairman of the project is Dewey Alexander. “Our search is part of a nationwide Jaycee program,” said Lee, “to spotlight the achievements and dedication of professional educators, both male and female, between the ages of 21 and 35.”

• A huge liquor still was destroyed by Lee County Sheriff’s department deputies yesterday in the Lucknow area. I’ve never seen a more modern operation,” said Sheriff Huggins this morning. “It was a push button deal.” The deputies destroyed 5,000 gallons of mash and a 300- to 400-gallon cooker.

• Sumter County’s only professional Walking Horse training stables will hold its grand opening Sunday. Open house will be from 2 until 6 p.m. and the general public has been invited. Owned and operated by a husband-andwife team, Connie and Mary Hinson, the new 17-stable barn on the Camden Highway is a dream of a lifetime,” according to Hinson. “We are both horse lovers from way back,” says the horseman.

“Mary comes by her interest in horses from her father, who purchased her first horse when she was four.”

25 YEARS AGO – 1989 Dec. 1–7 Manning native Ervin S. Duggan was recently appointed by President George Bush to fill a vacancy on the Federal Communications Commission. Duggan, 50, was born in Atlanta and later moved to Manning. He was appointed Nov. 30 to fill the Democratic seat on the commission vacated by Patricia Dias Dennis, whose term expired June 30.

Duggan is called a “family values” communications specialist, and was appointed by the president for the five-year term.

• For four generations the Rhodes family has farmed the land near Mayesville, and for much of that time it was done the same way – with mules and hoes and hands. But much has changed since 1937 when Samuel McBride Rhodes Jr. began farming the 1,200 acres of land that make up the Rhodes farm, which is

• Kershena Dickey scored 30 points and made 10 steals to lead the Mayewood girl’s team to a 57-32 win over Mount Pleasant Saturday at the Lady Vikings’ gym. Sandra Fulwood yanked down nine rebounds to go with six points, and Christi Dennis had seven points and five rebounds.

• Cars and trucks honked Saturday morning as they whizzed by XP Chemicals Inc. on Cain’s Mill Road, where about a dozen area residents were protesting the company’s treatment and storage of hazardous waste.

The protestors ranged from teenagers to retirees to a pregnant woman toting a sign that asked, “What of My Unborn Baby?” Others carried signs saying such things as “Don’t Poison Me CP” or “Where is our Right to Clean Living?” or “No More Hazardous Waste.” Protestor Andrea Stephens said she is concerned about possible air pollution coming from the plant and with the effect of chemical spills.

• The Pentagon approved the annexation of Shaw Air Force Base into Sumter’s city limits Friday, a move that will increase the city’s population by nearly 6,000 and pave the way for major economic benefits. The annexation, which was proposed by Sumter City Council and endorsed by Shaw, should make Sumter the state’s seventh largest city by population and could push it to No. 6. The city will increase in size from about

12 square miles to nearly 18.

The increased population will make Sumter eligible for more state and federal grants while sparking more economic development in the northwestern section of the city.

• Diane Woodrum won the 1989 Sunset Ladies Club Championship with a score of 246 in the three-day tournament held this week. Deckie Jones finished second in the championship flight. Kitty Sutter won the first flight with Gert Geyer placing second. Tudie Comley was the winner of the second flight, and Garland Nettles was the second-place finisher.

• Creativity will be the crucial ingredient in two brand new courses being cooked up and served with panache by faculty within USC-Sumter’s Division of Arts and Letters next spring. The two courses making their debut on the Miller Road campus in January of 1990 include “Oral Interpretation” (THSP 340) and “Coiled Basketry” (ARTS 258), according to USC-Sumter’s Arts and Letters Division Chair E. Lee Craig.

• The Sumter County Museum announces the opening of a new permanent exhibit titled “The Country Store” and a temporary display of vintage women’s and children’s clothing. Both features are located on the third floor of the Williams-Brice Home. Adjacent to the “Economic History Room,” the store exhibit brings together a variety of items from many rural general stores once found throughout Sumter County, including the Lenoir Store of Horatio and the Aycock Store of Wedgefield.

“Movie contracts were ending and television came along,” she explained. “My mother thought I should get into television, so I worked on many great shows from that period.”

In recognition of her film contributions, O’Brien was one of only a dozen children to receive a Juvenile Academy Award when the prize was intermittently given from 19351961. However, in 1954, a family maid who took the statuette home to clean, vanished with it. Forty years later, it was found and returned.

“It’s safely locked in a cabinet now – never to be polished again!” joked O’Brien.

For much of her adult life, O’Brien has also been committed to charitable causes, including AIDS awareness and programs that assist actors.

And while she considers herself conservative, she dresses flamboyantly and still sports a nose piercing acquired some years ago.

“I love creative fashion and hunting for unusual items to make jewelry from. That’s about as offbeat as I get!” she said. “My mother raised me to be pretty well-grounded, so I never had the problems that a lot of child actors faced. Acting has been a wonderful career, and still is.”

Witherspoon will play for South Carolina in the 53rd Shrine Bowl Saturday at Charlotte Memorial Stadium at 1:30 p.m. Witherspoon was named to the squad late Friday night along with seven other players by Laurens’ Bobby Ivey, who is the head coach for South Carolina, and his staff. “I found out that I was on the team about 12 o’clock Friday night when Coach (Sumter’s Tom) Lewis called me,” Witherspoon said by telephone Sunday from the motel where the South Carolina squad is located. “I was shocked. Everything happened so quick. Coach Lewis told me I had to pack my bags and be ready to go in the morning.”

THE SUMTER ITEM

Native tree can support heavy ornaments

BY JOHN NELSON Curator, USC Herbarium They say that Black Friday is starting to turn a bit gray, because shoppers have so many more options for spending money and due to the fact that just about all the stores were open on Thanksgiving Day. Yep, the holiday season is upon us, and that means spending lots of money on stuff — including Christmas trees.

Here is a tree that is a native conifer in the eastern states and which sometimes is used for a Christmas tree — and of course, it is a pine.

It is a fairly common tree in the counties of the mountains and piedmont in the Atlantic states, from New Jersey down to northern Georgia and Alabama.

(Doesn’t get down to Florida.) It is frequent, too, on high ground in parts of Tennessee, not really getting any farther west. It tends to grow on hardscrabble, rocky soils, often on clay — the kinds of soils that are often referred to as “poor.”

It is something of a weed, in a sense, in that it rapidly

strip-mined areas. This pine is in fact quite drought-tolerant and can withstand winter storms rather well. Trees out

in the open tend to be relative short and stout, with a vaguely flattered crown and no more than 30 to40 feet high; such trees hang on to their tough, strong branches for many years. The lower branches on such trees tend to sag and droop, often sweeping the ground below.

Trees in forest settings are generally taller, though (the biggest one known is about 100 feet high), and they tend to lose the lower branches, leaving jagged stubs. Whatever its natural setting, most people figure that this is a snaggly kind of pine, and not too pretty. The bark, though, is sort of attractive, at least on older, larger trees: It will scale off in thin plates, leaving a kind of multi-toned brown and orange appearance.

The foliage, characteristically, is evergreen, in that the needle-like leaves remain on the tree for more than one growing season. Of course, even evergreen needles will eventually fall off. Two sharp needles will be bound at the base by a little sheath. The needles are tough and twisted, up to about 2 inches or so, not

very long. The seed cones are dark brown and prickly, and of course each scale of the cone can harbor two winged, helicoptering seeds. These cones also remain on the branches long after the seeds have been shed.

As far as Christmas trees go, there are a number of other species that are clearly more popular, however: The firs instantly come to mind, and there are other pines that are more standardly employed. I’ve used a red cedar as a Christmas tree a time or two, and it has a certain prickly, winterish charm. But if you are feeling rustic and are looking for a tree that can hold those big, shiny ornaments, our Mystery Plant is the one for you.

Virginia brewery taps 300-year-old beer recipe

BY MICHAEL FELBERBAUM Associated Press Writer RICHMOND, Va. — What do you get when you combine water, American persimmons and hops and ferment it with yeast? A beer based on a 300-year-old recipe scribbled in a cookbook kept by Virginia’s prominent Randolph family.

Ardent Craft Ales in Richmond recently brewed “Jane’s Percimon Beer” unearthed from the book in the Virginia Historical Society’s collections from the 1700s that contains food, medicinal remedies and beer recipes.

The formula for the Colonial-era concoction is one of thousands of alcoholic recipes in the society’s collection that provide a

glimpse into what Virginians and others were drinking in the 18th century and other points in history.

“You can feel a connection across time when you’re drinking something that maybe hasn’t been drunk for a couple hundred years,” said Paul Levengood, president and CEO of the Virginia Historical Society, a privately funded nonprofit that collects, preserves and interprets the state’s history. “It’s a fun way to bring the past into the present.”

As one would expect, the process of brewing the beer was dramatically different from the techniques and equipment used in modernday brewing. Where current recipes include very specific instructions on the amount of

ingredients and timing, the handwritten formula of just a few short sentences contains no detailed instructions or quantities. The first trial run using about 17 pounds of persimmons yielded only three gallons of beer.

“With a lot of these recipes, the real fun of it is trying to figure out where the little pieces of wisdom hid in the recipes,” said Tom Sullivan, who brewed the beer with fellow Ardent Craft Ales co-owner Kevin O’Leary. “If you’re making this stuff for yourself and your family and drinking it all the time, you bet your bottom dollar the end product was good.”

And how does it taste? The light peachcolored concoction conjures touches of sweet-

The libation is considered a table beer, clocking in at an extremely easy-drinking 3 percent or less of alcohol by volume. That would be pretty typical of alcoholic beverages of the time that were enjoyed with many meals.

In 1790, annual percapita alcohol consumption for those over age 15 was 34 gallons of beer and cider, five gallons of distilled spirits and one gallon of wine, according to US government figures cited in an article in the “Colonial Williamsburg” history magazine.

And with craft beer gaining consumer interest across the country, Levengood said the partnership presents an opportunity to discuss alcohol production and consumption throughout history.

In contrast to the Backcountry, the Williams-Brice House, which is the main exhibition building for the museum, will be decorated in the Victorian style, Watts said.

“We’ll have our Victorian Christmas tree on display in the solarium,” she said.

Instead of trees in the Backcountry buildings, look for “plenty of garlands and some wreaths,” Watts said.

Christmas for the settlers

was not a big gift-giving time, either, she said. Instead, they made a special meal and spent time with family or in church, rather than in a lot of secular pursuits.

Carolina Backcountry Christmas will be held at the Sumter County Museum, 122 N. Washington St., from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14. The Williams-Brice House will also be open. Admission is free, and ample parking is available. For more information, call (803) 775-0908.

Wikked Buffalo Wings features locally created flavors and regular specials. Set inside the Quality Inn off Broad Street, the restaurant has now been open for more than a year.

Wikked Buffalo Wings is still rocking after 1 year

JADE REYNOLDS jade@theitem.com

T

he old adage says the customer is always right, and certainly the owners of

Wikked Buffalo Wings have made it a point to find out what’s popular with their clientele.

Set inside Quality Inn, the restaurant opened in August 2013 and is still going strong. They’ve learned what works — fried pickles — and what doesn’t — oysters on the half shell.

“We’ve had people tell us, ‘I absolutely hate pickles, but I love your fried pickles,’” said Tommy Ferrence, backof-the-house manager. “On a busy night, almost every ticket has an order of fried pickles.

“Some things have been hit or miss as we’ve gotten a grasp of our customer base. Fishes didn’t work, and oysters on the half shell started strong and then kind of dropped off.”

“It’s definitely been a learning experience, (but) it’s been great,” said Eddie Farmer, general manager. “The overall support from locals is pretty good. We couldn’t ask for better. We appreciate the community for supporting us.”

At one point, they had as many as 33 wing sauces, but now they have cut back to 14 wet ones and eight dry rubs.

The most popular is the Plumb Sweet and Spicy, but they have others that have gained notoriety, such as the Mango Habanero and the Wikked Pickle. Farmer’s 14-year-old daughter, Mackenzie, created the latter by combining Wikked Hot Sauce with pickle juice.

“It sounds odd, but the pickle juice cuts the heat,” Ferrence said.

But of course, the eatery offers more

The Stadium Club Sandwich features shaved roasted turkey and deli pastrami on three pieces of Texas toast topped with lettuce, tomato, American and cheddar cheeses, with Dijon mustard and mayonaise. Starting in January, Wikked Buffalo Wings will have a new fast-break lunch menu.

Wikked Buffalo Wings offers 14 wet sauces and eight dry rubs for the restaurant’s jumbo chicken wings. The most popular is the Plumb Sweet and Spicy, owners said. than just chicken wings. Another famous (or maybe infamous) menu item is The TKO Burger. Created by one of the cooks, it features two 8-ounce hamburger patties, two slices of cheese, shredded cheese, chili, jalapeños, lettuce, tomato, four strips of bacon, an onion ring and the Room Temp Wikked sauce on the bottom.

“It’s very large. If you finish it, you probably have to get rolled out,” Ferrence said.

The Comedy Zone has been a huge draw as well, Farmer said. Held every Wednesday for the past three months, the show for those ages 18 and older starts at 8 p.m. Beginning in January, it will go to the first and third Wednesdays of the month.

“It features two nationally touring comedians, an opener and a headliner,” he said. “They put on a good show. It’s usually standing room only in here.”

Wikked Buffalo Wings is planning an extra special Comedy Zone for New Year’s Eve that will feature two performers returning by requests, Monte Allen and Blayr Nias. In fact, this will be Nias’ third time at the Sumter locale, Farmer said.

He is also looking forward to getting a Sunday alcohol permit. Right now, the eatery does not open on Sundays, but it will open at 11 a.m. once he obtains the license.

“It’s going to be good for us,” Farmer said. “(As) a restaurant that has builtin service with a hotel, that’s a big thing. We don’t encourage drinking and driving, so you can walk down here and back to your room. We’re pretty excited that we’ll be able to host a Super Bowl party here.”

Starting the first of the year, the restaurant will also feature a fast-break lunch menu. Every item will be a combo with fries and drink at reasonable prices, Farmer said.

Discounts are available for Tuomey employees, military personnel and emergency medical services workers.

Other specials include 60-cent wings on Mondays and Tuesdays and hand-cut, usually 10-ounce ribeyes on Saturday.

On Fridays, the restaurant has a twofor-$20 steak special that includes two 12-ounce New York strips, two salads and an appetizer.

“It’s taking off well,” Ferrence said.

“For $10 a person, you’ll be filled up and take a box home with you.”

Wikked Buffalo Wings opens at 5 p.m.

Mondays and Tuesdays and 11 a.m.

Wednesday through Saturday.

THE SUMTER ITEM

Call the newsroom at: (803) 774-1226 | E-mail: pressrelease@theitem.com

All about location when it comes to bow hunting S

everal of us were sitting around over the Thanksgiving holiday and talking about deer hunting. A couple of us bow hunt exclusively so we were comparing notes with gun hunters.

I remember the gun days.

It seems such a long time ago because I haven’t hunted with a gun in probably 10 to 15 years. In Earle fact, my son, Robert, has Woodward had my .270 AFIELD & rifle for over AFLOAT three years, so I couldn’t have hunted with one even if I had wanted to do so.

The gun hunters were talking about how they were sitting on fields, roads or power lines and are able to see deer moving out to a couple of hundred yards. One of the bow hunters in the crowd quipped that if a bow hunter could see more than 50 yards, they were hunting in the wrong spot.

That caused me to think a bit.

Coming from a purely gun hunting background, I have been forced to learn an entirely new way to hunt. For the first year or two, I found myself sitting on field edges just like I would have done if I’d had a rifle. I didn’t do too well those first years. I watched a lot of deer walk by at 100 yards or so, occasionally had one at 50-75 yards, but never took a shot with a bow that first season or two.

Eventually I began hunting with Cuz on a piece of property in Orangeburg County that only had a couple of small fields. I was forced to learn to hunt in the woods and it has made all the difference in the world.

I now look for well-used trails leading from bedding areas to feeding areas, or I hunt over small food plots. My clover patch is a mere 30 yards by 30 yards, but it is placed in the right place and has all kinds of critters using it. It is surrounded on all four sides by woods.

I was thinking about the

“seeing 50 yards” thing and came to realize that it’s right.

None of my stands allow me to see much more than that, but I see deer on a regular basis.

On the small property, when I’m in the tree stand I can see about 50 yards in three quadrants, even now that the leaves have fallen. I can hear the deer coming through the woods before I can see them.

At the clover patch, I can see only about 35 yards if I’m sitting in the tree stand and maybe 45-50 yards if I’m in the ground blind. From the ground blind, I can see back into the woods that are behind the tree stand, but can’t be seen from the elevated position.

I had been watching the trail camera from the clover patch and had noticed that there had been some unusual buck activity during the middle of the day recently. The big one that I’ve been chasing for the last three or four years showed up at 9:30 in morning and his slightly smaller cousin made his presence known about 3:30 in the afternoon. Almost all of

DNR to conduct youth duck hunting clinic S.C. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES The S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Take One Make One program will be hosting a free youth duck clinic on Jan. 19, 2015 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The clinic will be held on Edisto Island.

Nearly 3,500 striped bass stocked in Lake Marion S.C. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Approximately 3,500 phase II striped bass were stocked in Lake Marion at Santee State Park on Thursday, Dec. 4. This stocking was part of the 28,000 to 30,000 stocked during the week.

On hand for the fish stocking were state Sen. Kevin Johnson of Manning, Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter of Orangeburg, Orangeburg County Councilman Johnny Ravenell and Santee Cooper Country’s executive director Mary Shriner.

“I want to thank the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for keeping Lake Marion stocked and available for recreational fishing,” Johnson said. “It is greatly appreciated here in Santee Cooper country.”

DNR used a specially

equipped fish-hauling truck to stock the 3,500 fish. The striped bass were initially hatched at the Jack D. Bayless Hatchery and raised to phase II size at the Dennis Wildlife Center. Both of these facilities are located in Bonneau.

“I hope that taxpayers will see the work that DNR does and see the value of paying for that fishing or hunting license, because of that we are able to keep these great outdoor opportunities for all of the citizens of the state of South Carolina,” said CobbHunter.

The DNR Freshwater Fisheries Section annually stocks from seven to 10 million fish in state waters, including striped and hybrid bass, largemouth and smallmouth bass, channel and blue catfish, bluegill, redbreast, redear sunfish (shellcracker), and rainbow, brook, and

brown trout.

“This is a great day for us.

Anytime we can enhance recreational activities for Orangeburg County, it’s a plus,” said Ravenell.

Anglers in South Carolina spend almost $742 million to fish each year, making the sport, with economic multipliers factored in, a $1 billion business in the Palmetto State.

“This is very important to us,” said Shriner. “Fishing brings in $30 million to this area every year.”

Striped bass are found in major rivers and large impoundments of South Carolina. They are also found in estuarine and coastal areas.

They prefer cool waters and are diadromous throughout their range, except in South Carolina.

the does were showing up after dark.

I had Friday off, so I packed up my belongings and headed to the stand about 2 in the afternoon. My plan was to intercept anything that wandered in during the afternoon and early evening. Maybe it would be one of the bigger bucks!

I huddled in the ground blind, bundled up in all the warm clothes that I could find and waited on things to happen. I watched the area behind the tree stand for signs of life, but could only find squirrels, lots of squirrels. At one time, I could see 10. I guess I’m going to have a have a squirrel hunt on Jan. 2.

The day wore on and nothing moved, except for the accursed squirrels. By about 5:25, the light was finally gone from the woods, so my sight window was now down to about 30 yards. At 5:30, she stepped out.

At first glance, I actually gasped; she looked huge against the woods, I tried every trick I knew to make horns grow in her head, but

couldn’t do it.

Hey, it was a deer. I have doe tags, she was plenty big enough and I like cube steaks.

All I needed was a broadside shot.

The doe stepped into the road, crossed it, put her nose into the clover and began to dine on the tender leaves. For the next 15 minutes, the doe nibbled and nuzzled all the way from the road to about 10 yards from the ground blind and never turned right or left.

By the time she did turn and walk off, it was so dark I couldn’t tell if she had turned right or left. I could only see the white undersides of her legs walking away. Talk about frustrating!

Well, at least I know she’s there, and I know she’s big enough. I’ll be back one afternoon this week to see if I can encounter her again and maybe get lucky enough for a shot.

Times sure have changed.

Twenty years ago I would have never looked for a deer at 30 yards; now I can’t see past that.

FISHING REPORT Santee Cooper System Striped bass: Good. Striped bass fishing has been good in both lakes.

Fish are often located in the deeper sections of Lake Moultrie and on the edges of drops that run from 35-45 feet of water. Lake Marion fish are scattered along the old river channel and into flooded timber as well as in the mouths of bigger creeks like Wyboo and even further up the creek if bait is sufficient. Anchoring will catch fish as well as drifting live bait and/ or jigging spoons and jigs.

Fishermen have also been targeting schooling fish; schooling can be found at various depths in both lakes depending on where the bait is found. Largemouth bass: Fair. After a slow-down largemouth bass fishing has been better over the past couple of weeks, and fishermen have resumed targeting fish around visible structure in shallow water. This pattern should hold up until water temperatures drop much below 60 degrees or cold fronts push fish to deeper water. There has also been some schooling activity reported in the afternoon and some fish have been caught on swimbaits.

Lake Murray Largemouth bass: Slow. Bass fishing is still slow and fishing activity has been relatively light. Tossing buzzbaits first thing was the best way to target fish. During the day throwing Carolina rigs off points in 15-20 feet of water has been the best pattern. Crappie: Fair. From the midlake on up crappie are biting pretty well around brush in 5-15 feet of water. Both minnows and jigs will catch fish.

Lake Wateree Crappie: Fair to good. When it’s warm you can still land fish in the grass. Check around the shallows that have a nearby deep drop. Docks with brush are always a safe bet in the 8-13 foot range.

Lake Greenwood Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that the Lake Greenwood catfish bite is pretty strong. For numbers of channel catfish drifting across main lake flats with shrimp, cut herring and cut shad in 15-20 feet is the best bet. As water temperatures continue to cool more and more fish will orient to the channel ledges. If you are hoping to catch a big flathead then anchoring on the edges of the river channel and using live bream or white perch is working pretty well.

Lake Monticello Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that drifting or anchoring in 45-65 feet of water is the most productive pattern, although Chris notes that the ideal depth range can change overnight. Gizzard shad and white perch have been working best for large fish. Free-line drifting with small pieces of cut herring has also been very productive.

Lake Russell Catfish: Fair. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that catfish are still being caught in pretty good numbers.

Anchor on main lake points and fish cut herring on the bottom in approximately 30 feet of water.

Striped bass: Fair. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that striper are still

very scattered, but towards the end of this month he expects them to start showing up in deep water on the lower end of the lake. Soon it will be time to follow the birds to locate striper. Crappie: Fair. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that crappie are still on deeper brush, although the bite slows down when it gets very cold.

On warmer days look for crappie 12-14 feet down over brush in 20-25 feet of water and fish minnows.

Lake Thurmond Crappie: Fair to good. Crappie are in a traditional winter pattern, and they can be caught around trees in about 35 feet of water. Fish 15-20 feet down with minnows. Black bass: Fair. Up and down temperatures seem to have fish in flux. Early in the morning there has been some schooling activity in the backs of coves and in the mouths of pockets, and fish have been taking flukes and Spooks. When fish are not on the surface spinnerbaits have been the best bet.

Lake Wylie Catfish: Fair. Try starting relatively shallow in the creeks early in the day, moving out from the back of the creek into deeper water as the day progresses. If the creek bite is not productive then try fishing around offshore structure in 10-25 feet of water when the sun is higher. Drifting or anchoring with cut white perch or cut shad is a good option. Around dusk and after dark flathead catfish can also be caught fishing live bait around brush.

Lake Jocassee Bass: Slow to fair. Captain Steve Pietrykowski reports that bass are scattered both shallow and deep, but the bite is not hot anywhere. It’s worth trying topwater lures off points during low light conditions, but the most consistent pattern is drop shotting and fishing shakey head worms off points.

Lake Keowee Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Fair to good. Fish are not following any pattern and can be found shallow and deep. Check deep with drop shotting and spoons. Or try shallow with jerkbaits and blade runners. Also check in the back of creeks as some action is reported as the cold weather hasn’t hit just yet.

Lake Hartwell Crappie: Fair. Fishing has been off and on, but if anglers can locate crappie they can generally catch them. The best action has come in 20-25 feet of water around the top of brush in 30 feet of water, as well as around bridges at night. Catfish: Good. Captain Bill Plumley reports that channel catfish are still biting well all over the lake, particularly in the 5-20 foot range. Cut bait (herring or other fish) and nightcrawlers are working best, although a few are still being caught on dip baits even as the water cools. The blue catfish bite continues to accelerate and recently Bill caught 7 blues weighing 198 pounds on a trip. The best blue catfish action has been in the creeks in 25-30 feet of water, with both anchoring and Santee-style drifting working. Cut herring, gizzard shad and white perch have all been productive.
