Heading to Carnegie Hall Sumter High senior ready to perform at famous venue

Langford said. “He works harder than anyone, and just as a student, he’s willing to do what you ask him to do.

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com If ultimately approved by the voters, a new penny sales tax would raise funds for a series of new capital projects across Sumter County.

Just what those projects will be, however, has not yet been decided.

Sumter County Council will do its part Tuesday to determine what projects eligible for sales tax funding will be presented to county voters for approval in a planned referendum on the new tax set for November 2014.

Council has a specially called meeting at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at the county administration building, 13 E. Canal St., to dis- BLANDING cuss possible projects to be funded by the proposed new sales tax. Although the process of approving the new tax was set in motion by county council, at this point in the process, it’s just one of several groups considering proposals.

MIXON “This will be county council’s first opportunity to meet as a lead group and discuss projects like the other lead groups,� said Sumter County Administrator Gary Mixon.

Nine separate lead groups have been formed to discuss new capital projects representing different sections of the community, from the Chamber of Commerce to the school district to a group representing young people. Council members will draw up their own list to submit along with all the others to a commission balanced between county and municipal governments.

The commission will approve the final list of projects next summer before the question goes to voters.

Voters will simultaneously approve whether to pass a new seven-year sales tax and what projects the tax will fund.

Council is even meeting prior to its regularly scheduled 6 p.m. meeting to emphasize the difference between the project and normal council business. “We’re just one committee of the overall committee process,� said Council Chairman Larry Blanding.

A HISTORY TRIP

‘Ghost’ cruiser joins Sumter police fleet FROM STAFF REPORTS Sumter police don’t want you to see them coming. So this week, officers started trying out a new paint job designed to make their patrol cars less conspicuous.

Called “ghost striping,” the design is meant to make the car less noticeable to drivers looking to avoid a traffic ticket.

Those drivers expect to see the usual white patrol cruiser with blue stripes. But Sumter’s traffic division this week started test-driving a dark gray Dodge Charger with reflective striping meant to look like “the wrong side of a decal,” according to a release from the Sumter Police Department.

Traffic Division Staff Sgt. Tony Rivers has been driving the “ghost” car since Monday to see how it fits into the department’s fleet.

“The purpose is to encourage drivers to obey traffic laws at all times rather than disobeying them and looking out for police,” Rivers said.

“It’s just another form of deterrent.”

In addition to discouraging speeding and other traffic violations, the design is less costly because it isn’t in color.

“It’s an advantage any time we can keep up with trends in law enforcement that can help us be proactive in keeping our streets safe and at the same time save taxpayers’ money,” said Police Chief Russell F. Roark.

So far, Rivers said the new design has received good reviews from residents he’s spoken to.

“People seem to be impressed,” he said. “They’ve never seen one like that before.”

STATE BRIEFS

S.C. agency says 15 carriers extending canceled policies

BY SEANNA ADCOX Associated Press Writer COLUMBIA — South Carolina’s insurance agency says 144,000 people with previously canceled health insurance policies can renew their plans, following President Obama’s reversal last month on part of the federal health care law.

Fifteen companies have informed the Insurance Department they will participate in the optional extension of plans the federal law considers substandard.

They cover 59,000 people in the individual market and 85,000 people in small group policies. Fourteen carriers are not participating, leaving about 53,000 people with policies ending in 2014, said Director Ray Farmer.

A backlash over termination notices received by millions of policyholders nationwide prompted Obama to reverse course and declare that insurers could extend coverage for a year, if the state allowed it. Some states led by Democrats rejected the president’s proposal.

But in Republican-led

South Carolina, the state Insurance Department promptly issued guidelines for doing so, which included a Dec. 2 notification deadline. That deadline is flexible, however, and insurers can still choose to extend coverage, Farmer said.

“Our goal still is to help our companies help our citizens who are looking for coverage and to work with those companies to eliminate any confusion,” he said.

Participating companies include the state’s largest insurer, BlueCross Blue Shield of South Carolina, and its associate, BlueChoice HealthPlan.

Letters went out this week to eligible customers.

The option gives them more time to prepare for the changes required in the federal law, said David Pankau, BlueCross president and CEO. He called it the “right thing to do.” Customers who want to keep their coverage don’t need to do anything, a release said.

South Carolina gave companies the option of letting a payment suffice as a renewal notice, as a way to

make it “extremely easy for the policyholder,” Farmer said.

Guidelines issued a week later by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services called for policyholders to inform their carrier in writing of their decision. But South Carolina was allowed to stick to its directions.

“We did exactly what they asked us to do. We handled it,” Farmer said. “You can’t come back a week later and say, ‘But handle it this way too.’”

Being able to keep a plan doesn’t necessarily mean the premiums will stay the same. Some participating companies will require a premium adjustment. That’s up to the insurer, he said.

Not all of those 53,000 will have to shop for another policy, he said.

Some companies not participating are offering customers another option to extend coverage beyond when their policy would otherwise end. If they renew early, by Dec. 31, then they can keep that plan through 2014. It would expire one year after their renewal date.

FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS

Columbia operating rooms halt surgeries for dust COLUMBIA — The operating rooms at the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in Columbia have closed again after dust was found in the operating room.

Officials said the dust was discovered Thursday, just four days after surgeries resumed following a nearly two-month closure of the operating rooms for a similar problem.

Authorities blamed the disintegration of a special air filter for the original problem, but before surgeries resumed, they had said they felt they thoroughly cleaned the operating rooms and fixed the situation.

Officials said the recent problem appears to have a similar cause, but their investigation continues.

Man admits vandalizing more than 40 churches ORANGEBURG — A man who vandalized more than 40 South Carolina churches because he said he was angry at God has pleaded guilty.

The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg reported that 56-year-old Blake Hiscox was ordered to serve five years of

probation.

Hiscox told the judge he realized he needed help for his anger after his arrest in July and was working with several community programs. People with several of the damaged churches also asked the judge to show Hiscox mercy.

Most of the churches’ windows were broken, although a few reported feces thrown at their buildings.

The judge gave Hiscox a five-year prison sentence, but that will be suspended if he successfully completes his five years of probation.

Union County inmate found dead in his cell UNION — Authorities said an inmate has died at the Union County jail.

Investigators said 34-year-old Robert Gregory was found unconscious in a cell about 5 a.m. Friday as he awaited a bond hearing.

Paramedics could not resuscitate him.

Gregory was behind bars after he was arrested on a criminal domestic violence charge.

Union County Sheriff David Taylor said the State Law Enforcement Division is investigating the death, and an autopsy on Gregory has been ordered.

Snow, ice, deep freeze hit large swath of U.S. MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A late fall cold snap that has gripped much of the country is being blamed for a handful of deaths and has forced people to deal with frigid temperatures, power outages by the thousands and treacherous roads.

Weather forecasters say the powerful weather system has Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic in its icy sights next.

Temperatures in Montana and South Dakota were more than 20 degrees below zero during the day Saturday while much of the Midwest was in the teens and single digits.

Wind chill readings could drop

as low as 50 below zero in northwestern Minnesota, weather officials said.

Icy conditions were expected to last through the weekend from Texas to Ohio to Tennessee, and Virginia officials warned residents of a major ice storm likely to take shape today, resulting in power outages and hazards on the roads.

In California, four people died of hypothermia in the San Francisco Bay area, and about a half-dozen traffic-related deaths were blamed on the weather in several states.

Icy, treacherous sections of Interstate 35 north of Dallas were closed for hours at a time

over the last day as tractortrailers had trouble climbing hills, wrecks occurred and vehicles stalled, authorities said.

Tina Pacheco, her husband and two friends were traveling through Texas on their way to Mexico when the ice-laden interstate became so treacherous that traffic came to a standstill.

They were forced to spend Friday night in their pickup truck.

They parked on a service road and kept the truck running for heat. “We couldn’t go anywhere,� she said, adding, “It’s a good thing we had gas.�

Jody Gonzalez, chief of Denton County Emergency

Services, said about 200 people were in shelters in the Sanger area after getting stuck on the highway. People in that area of I-35 were driving through ruts in 4-inch-thick ice, he said.

Texas Department of Transportation spokeswoman Michelle Releford said road graders and more sand and salt trucks were being sent to try to ease the ice problems. “We’re sending in everything we’ve got,� said Releford.

About 75,000 customers in the Dallas area were without power Saturday, down from a peak of more than 270,000.

Oklahoma utilities reported more than 7,500 power outag-

es across the state and western Arkansas.

Some 400 departing flights from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport were canceled, about half of the usual schedule, the airport said.

About 3,330 passengers had stayed overnight in the terminals.

Among those stranded in Dallas was Narasimhan Rangarajan of Chennai, India, who was on his way to see his brother in Salt Lake City, Utah.

He laughed that his vacation had been “not so good so far.� He said he hoped his flight Saturday night to Salt Lake City would take off.

BRUENING from Page A1 he definitely excels in all areas.�

Bruening said even when he’s driving in his car, he really enjoys listening to jazz music and his favorite jazz player is saxophonist Eric Marienthal.

But his reason for picking up the sax at a young age? The Simpsons. “I started in middle school because I watched The Simpsons and I saw Lisa Simpson playing it,� Bruening recalled. “I thought, ‘Oh, that must be cool.’�

Bruening, 17, made all-state last year which Langford said was a definite plus in applying for the Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall.

In this program, high school students from the U.S., Canada and select countries are encouraged to perform at their best after rehearsing with and learning from master conductors. “Through him making all state last year, they sent out an invitation for him to audition.

Then he went through the audition and appli-

cation process and submitted a CD, and then he was accepted,� Langford said.

Bruening will receive his music in the next week, and he and Langford — as well as his private music teacher — will review the music and get to work. In preparation for his big performance, Bruening said it takes a lot of focus and repetition to really master his part.

While he is a member of the marching band,

Bruening also participates in jazz band and an upcoming sax quartet to keep him busy and at the top of his game, Langford said. “Once he gets that music, we’ll look at it together, and he and his private teacher will look at it, and we’ll start preparing,� Langford said.

The Honors Performance Series will take place Feb. 6-10 where Bruening said the student participants will be expected to spend a cer-

tain amount of hours rehearsing in a small concert hall in their hotel.

The students will then have a final rehearsal at Carnegie Hall before the scheduled performance.

Because he hasn’t received his music yet, Bruening said he’s prepping for his trip in other ways, mainly to help him endure the New York City weather. “As of right now, I’m just looking for warm clothes,� Bruening said jokingly.

S.C. man took iconic atomic bomb photo Home stands 10 years ORANGEBURG (AP) — It was proclaimed in its day by national press as the best photograph to be taken of an atomic bomb explosion.

The man who took the photo was reluctant to tell the story of how he went from being a South Carolina farm boy to photographer at the nuclear test ranges of Nevada. “I’m not going to get out here and have a show off with that picture,� said 82-year-old Owen Priester of Orangeburg. “You’ve got guys with Purple Hearts and been in combat. I went in there and did what I could.�

The iconic photograph taken by Priester in May 1952 shows the now-familiar mushroom cloud of an atomic blast at Desert Rock, Nev., once ground zero for nuclear testing.

The photograph was plastered on newspaper covers across the country, demonstrating the nation’s military might.

The atomic yield was equivalent to 19,000 tons of TNT. As part of Operation Tumbler-Snapper, the explosion was named “Dog,� the fourth in a series of tests that month.

Priester left his parents’ farm in Hampton after being given a choice between joining the U.S. Army or the Marine Corps. He chose the latter, and was sent to Parris Island.

After completing basic training, he was sent to Camp Lejeune, N.C. where an officer asked for a volunteer for office duty. But the Marines had learned to keep their heads down, even at home. “I done learned down at Parris Island — don’t volunteer for nothing,�

Priester said.

Sensing that mistrust, the officer specifically stated the Marines weren’t at Parris Island any more. Priester hesitantly raised his hand.

At the time, the 2nd Division had a photographer who took pictures of the individual Marines to send to their hometown newspapers. When that position came open, Priester was “volunteered� to fill it.

He was given a Speedgraphic camera complete with detachable flash that for the day was fairly sophisticated. His first photograph — a work crew laying cable. “I learned how to set the speed on the camera

Owen Priester’s 1952 picture of an atomic bomb explosion has been described as the best photograph to come out of any atomic troop exercise at that time.

to produce a (motion) shot that was clear instead of blurry,� he said.

He was then assigned to the 6th Fleet, which would be sent to the Mediterranean. Priester moved with the 6th to Scotland before it worked its way down the European coastline to France and Italy, then on to the “Med,� as he calls it.

Some of his photographs as official division photographer include one of Edinburgh Castle.

He took photos of a NATO exercise in which a multi-national force made a beach landing.

The negatives of the landing were seized.

After the “Med� tour, Priester and his camera were sent back to Camp Lejeune for more newspaper photos. But that didn’t last long. The then-21-year-old Marine was ordered to get his gear; the division was being sent to Nevada. He was to be the photographer of an atomic bomb test. “I didn’t know whether to be excited or not. I just went along with the plan,� he said. “But it was something nobody else was selected for.�

After a rocky flight on a no-name airline, the nervousness over an atomic bomb diminished. Priester said he and his buddies were just

glad to be back on firm ground. “I wanted to lay on the runway,� he said.

The Marines were moved to the Nevada desert and ordered to dig foxholes in what seemed to them to be the middle of nothing. Priester was in the second row of foxholes behind a line of his buddies.

While waiting in their holes, the Marines remembered the men dying in Korea. With that in mind, they wanted to show they were doing their duty as well. Priester instructed several buddies in the front line to get on top of their fox holes when the bomb went off. “We were told to keep our eyes closed and stay down,� he said. “Then I heard this ‘whoomp’ and felt a breeze come by.�

The Marines were instructed they had to keep their eyes closed for at least 10 seconds after the explosion to allow the initial light from the blast to subside.

After that waiting period, Priester and the Marines moved. “When they got up in position, I snapped the shot,� he said. “I’m 10

miles away from it. It looks like I’m right under it.�

Soon after, an officer ran down the line screaming for Priester’s film. He thought he’d never see if he got the shot or not.

However, as the division was sent back to Lejeune, so was the film.

Copies were sent to Washington, and Priester was told the negatives were his.

After his service was up, Priester stuck with his photography as a hobby.

He said he’s taken some memorable shots. Some of his favorites were taken during his service in Rome, a city he felt was the most impressive because of its history.

But there’s one photograph that stands out, one that marks an actual historical moment in time, a black-and-white photograph that stirs images of smoke plumes and still causes an Orangeburg man to say under his breath, “Semper Fi.� “Being in the Marine Corps and being a photographer, I guess taking that picture is one of the most memorable days of my life,� he said.

ABBEVILLE (AP) — On the 10th anniversary of one of the most intense firefights ever in South Carolina, the home where it happened sits like a macabre reminder of the most horrible day Abbeville has seen in a generation.

The siding is full of bullet holes, doors and windows are boarded up and broken glass is scattered around the overgrown yard — frozen in time like it was that day when Arthur Bixby, his wife, Rita, and son, Steven, decided to make their stand to save their land, leaving two officers dead and a community stunned.

The family ambushed the officers — and started a 13-hour standoff — because they were angry that a highway project was going to encroach on 20 feet of their land about 50 miles south of Greenville.

Now, the five-lane road has been long finished and the family has lost the entire property to the government. What happens next to the home is unclear.

Abbeville County officials refuse to release the name of the person who bought the home along the main route in and out of town at a delinquent tax auction in November 2012 because they said the deed turning over control of the land has not been finalized. “The memories never die. Each time you drive by, it keeps rehashing right back up. It’s an eyesore that means the wrong thing,� said Charles Goodwin, who was Abbeville County sheriff when the standoff happened and spent more than 30 years in law enforcement before pleading guilty to misconduct in office in January for taking kickbacks.

The Bixbys bought the house and land in November 1999 for $35,000. They moved to Abbeville from New Hampshire after both Arthur and Steven Bixby ran into legal trouble. South Carolina Department of Transportation workers showed them how the state obtained rights to the 20-foot strip of their land decades before, but the Bixbys said that wasn’t recorded on their papers and they didn’t trust the government.

When workers placed small orange survey flags in the Bixbys’ yard, the family pulled them out. That prompted Deputy Danny Wilson to visit the next day to mediate the dispute. The deputy was shot in the chest on the front porch, likely as he raised his arm to knock on the door. Steven Bixby dragged him into the home, handcuffed him and read him Miranda rights, according to trial testimony.

Constable Danny Ouzts was shot in the chest in the yard as he came to check on Wilson.

Steven and Arthur Bixby then bunkered in their home with more than a half-dozen weapons, some of them so powerful that the State Law Enforcement Division feared they could pierce the armor in all but their most fortified tank. Hundreds of rounds and dozens of canisters of pepper gas were fired during the 13-hour ordeal that was so loud, people heard it in downtown Abbeville more than a mile away. SLED Chief Robert Stewart, who has since retired after almost 20 years as the state’s top cop, called it the most horrendous gunfight he ever saw.

Arthur Bixby was shot, but recovered. No other police officers were injured. Arthur and Rita died behind bars within a week of each other in 2011, while Steven is on death row.

Pearl Harbor ceremony marks bombing anniversary PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — About 50 survivors of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor paused Saturday at the site to honor those killed and remember the moment that plunged the U.S. into World War II. Alvis Taylor, 90, was serving as an Army medic when the attack began. His superiors, who were doctors, rushed to hospitals to care for the wounded and left him in charge.

He went to Pearl Harbor, about 18 miles south of his Army post at Schofield Barracks, with dozens of ambulances.

“I remember everything that happened that day,” Taylor said grimly.

A crowd of about 2,500 joined the survivors at Pearl Harbor to honor those killed and those who fired back, rescued the burned and went on to serve during the war. Roughly 2,400 sailors, Marines and soldiers were killed at Pearl Harbor and other military installations on the island of Oahu in the Dec. 7, 1941, attack.

Taylor, who lives in Davenport, Iowa, decided to return to Pearl Harbor for the first time since the war this week because the local chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America paid for him and his wife to make the trip.

Of the tens of thousands of servicemen who survived, about 2,000 to 2,500 are still living.

Delton Walling, who was assigned to the USS Pennsylvania at the time of the attack, said they’re “in the twilight years.”

“I come back to be with my comrades — meet the ones who are still alive, and we’re going fast,” said Walling, who is 92 and lives near Sacramento, Calif.

The crowd observed a moment of silence at 7:55 a.m., the minute the bombing began 72 years ago.

A vintage World War II-era airplane — a 1944 North American SNJ-5B — flew overhead to break the silence. The Hawaii Air National Guard has used its fighter jets and helicopters to perform the flyover for many years, but federal budget cuts prevented it from participating this year.

The Navy and National Park Service co-hosted the ceremony, which was open to the public.

The current U.S. Pacific Fleet commander, Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr., said the U.S. remembers Pearl Harbor and is vigilant.

“The United States is and will remain a Pacific

power. But we also remember the warning from those who survived Pearl Harbor, and we are increasing our vigilance accordingly,” Harris said.

“Today, we are focused as we listen for the sound of the alarms.”

Former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia,

choking back tears at times, spoke of his father, who served in the Navy during the war.

“He was my hero,” Cleland said in his keynote address.

“For all the Pearl Harbor survivors, thank you for teaching us all how to survive,” Cleland said.

he Sumter County Delinquent Tax Sale has been postponed until February 12, 2014.

Carolina B. Richardson Treasurer / Tax Collector

“How to not just survive but how to strive, to turn things around. And how to ultimately thrive in life.”

Cleland, who lost both legs and his right arm fighting in the Vietnam War, is currently secretary of the American Battle Monuments Commission. The commission is responsible for managing overseas cemeteries for fallen American troops.

Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie and Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer were among those attending.

Brewer said it was an honor to be there among the survivors.

“Pearl Harbor was such a horrific tragedy in the U.S., but it makes me proud to know that the men here are the fabric of what America is made of,” Brewer said in a statement after the ceremony.

ROLL CALL

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2013

WASHINGTON (AP) — Here’s how area House members voted on major issues in the week ending Dec. 6. The Senate was in recess.

HOUSE GUN-CONTROL RENEWAL: On a non-record “voice� vote, the House on Dec. 3 renewed for 10 years a statute outlawing firearms capable of evading X-ray machines at airports and walk-through metal detectors used by airports and other facilities. The bill (HR 3626) is now before the Senate, where it is likely to be passed without change and sent to President Obama before the law expires Dec. 9.

Reflecting the political sensitivity of gun measures as well as the pre-eminence of aviation security, the Republican leadership, which controls the flow of legislation in the House, arranged for the bill to be passed on a non-record vote. The National Rifle Association did not object to this low-profile strategy, and gunlimits groups supported it.

The sponsor, Rep. Howard Coble, R-N.C., is not seeking re-election in 2014.

Congress and President Ronald Reagan first enacted the Undetectable Firearms Act in 1988, with periodic renewals required to cope with evolving technologies. But this latest version drew Democratic criticism for failing to address a scenario in which metal components could be removed from plastic handguns during airport security checks, then reattached during flight if they are needed for firing or discarded if they are not essential to operating the gun. Plastic handguns can be manufactured at home with 3-D printers. The NRA has signaled opposition to congressional actions to close the plastic-gun loophole.

Steve Israel, D-N.Y., said re-

newal of the law “has always been a matter of bipartisanship ... because it is a matter of common sense that we don’t want to make it easy for terrorists and criminals to bring guns past metal detectors onto our planes and into secure environments.�

Robert Scott, D-Va., said, “The current law has a critical loophole that may enable and encourage the production of firearms that may escape detection. Under the statute, someone may produce a plastic firearm which is detectable only because it has a metal component — which is not essential for the operation of the firearm — but is easily removable by a firearm user seeking to avoid detection.�

No member spoke against the bill.

Because this was a voice vote, there is no record of where individual members stood on the legislation.

ments do not improve the stability of our financial system, and they restrict the ability of private equity to invest capital in our small businesses to spur job growth.�

Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., said, “Giving this exemption will allow threats to once again grow in the dark corners of our financial system, only showing themselves when it is too late to prevent serious harm to the American taxpayer.�

A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, where it is likely to be shelved.

VOTE H-1 slugged FINANCIAL 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

FINANCIAL DEREGULATION: Voting 254 for and 159 against, the House on Dec. 4 stripped the Dodd-Frank financial-regulation law of its requirement that most private-equity firms register with the Securities and Exchange Commission registration and meet SEC reporting requirements about their balance sheets. The GOP-sponsored bill (HR 1105) is now before the Senate. The requirement aims to give regulators information for measuring any systemic risk these firms pose to financial markets and provide transparency to investors. But critics say it imposes unnecessary costs and red tape on job-growing firms that were not responsible for the 2008 financial collapse. The bill applies to firms with portfolios of between $150 million and $1 billion and debt-to-equity ratios under 2-to-1.

Robert Hurt, R-Va., said, “These registration require-

FINANCIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: Voting 186 for and 225 against, the House on Dec. 4 defeated a Democratic amendment to HR 1105 (above) that would continue Securities and Exchange Commission regulation of private-equity firms but with simplified disclosure requirements designed to reduce filing costs and red tape while still yielding important information to investors and regulators. In particular, firms would have to still disclose their fees, report any conflicts of interest in their management of assets and abide by fiduciary standards for acting in their clients’ best interests.

Sponsor Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., said, “Most people think that (funds) are acting in their best interest� under fiduciary standards. “I think they would be horrified to know that some members of this body want to roll back that protection for them.�

THE ITEM

Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, said, “The amendment, regardless of how well-intentioned it may be, functionally guts the bill and is essentially redundant of current law in Dodd-Frank.�

A yes vote was to adopt the amendment.

The motion also sought to require equity firms receiving SEC exemptions to disclose any workforce reductions by companies under their control.

Steven Horsford, D-Nev., said, “Instead of decreasing transparency by Wall Street, we should be demanding greater public disclosure to protect consumers. We should not be encouraging outsourcing of American jobs overseas.�

Robert Hurt, R-Va., said, “This bill is not about Wall Street� but “about encouraging private capital investment in those Main Street jobs. This bill is about not adding $500,000 in compliance costs to Main Street job creation.�

A yes vote backed the Democratic motion.

Not voting: None ABUSIVE PATENT LITIGATION: Voting 325 for and 91 against, the House on Dec. 5 passed a bill (HR 3309) giving courts more tools for curbing an abusive business and litigation strategy known as “patent trolling.� The practice consists of holders of weak patents threatening or filing patent-infringement lawsuits of dubious validity, then collecting settlements because the targeted company cannot afford or chooses not to pay the high cost of lengthy litigation. This bill makes it easier for judges to impose penalties on parties filing frivolous suits; requires up-front identification of the company behind the infringement claim; limits discoveries during lawsuits; and requires the accusing party to pay legal fees if their claim fails, among other provisions.

Critics say patent trollers exist only to extort settlements from start-ups and small businesses, while defenders say their main purpose is to protect the intellectual property of small inventors.

Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said the bill “targets abusive patent litigation while protecting legitimate patent-infringement claims.�

Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., called the bill “the greatest attack ... on the small inventor that I have ever seen in 25 years� in Congress.

A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, where it is expected to advance.

Glad you asked. These (supposedly) influential political figures, media and power brokers all came out in relentless support of a mayor-council (strong mayor) form of government replacing the current councilmanager form during last Tuesday’s referendum in Columbia.

cent in the referendum. It wasn’t even close.

Meanwhile, as the endorsers were wiping egg off their collective faces, the anti-strong mayor forces were enjoying an easy victory over a now-discredited would-be Columbia power structure after outworking the pro-strong mayor crowd to get their people to the polls. It turns out voters in Columbia don’t take kindly to non-residents telling them how to vote. Gov. Haley has the most egg on her face while her expected opponent in next year’s gubernatorial race, Sheheen, comes in as a close second. Haley probably cost several hundred pro-strong mayor votes by interjecting herself into a purely local referendum.

Nothing irks locals more than outsiders parachuting in and giving advice.

Every few years or so Co-

lumbia “reformers” attempt to place a mayor with absolute powers in charge of city government. Their vision is to recreate a Joe Riley for Columbia.

But the Holy City is different from the Capital City. The folks down there enjoy having a “Boss Hog” in command of their city. Greenville, also a progressive and prosperous city like Charleston, is quite pleased with its council-manager form of government.

The “reformers” keep whipping out the argument that their city shouldn’t be run by an “un-elected” city manager supposedly answerable to no one. But a city manager is answerable to those who select him to hold that position: an elected city council which sets policy and delegates authority for the manager to follow in running city government.

We’ve had a council-manager

COMMENTARY

form of government (the first in the world) in Sumter for over 100 years and it’s worked quite well even with the mayor having only one vote. Good mayors, such as Bill Hodge, Bubba McElveen, Fulton B. Creech and his grandson Steve Creech, W.E. Bynum, Priscilla Shaw, R.E. “Beau” Graham, Steve Creech, to name a few and current Mayor Joe McElveen have been able to exercise leadership while also working in a cooperative and productive spirit with city councils. Similarly, the city managers Sumter has had over the years have performed efficiently and constructively: J.A. Raffield, Wade Kolb, Horace Curtis, Talmadge Tobias and currently Deron McCormick for example. Maybe some of the “reformers” in Columbia would see fit to solicit advice from retirees Curtis and Tobias along with McCormick on how to run a city.

A strong local government depends almost entirely on voters making thoughtful choices on candidates for office who, if elected, will work diligently to appoint a dedicated, well-qualified and industrious person to handle the city manager’s job. The councilmanager plan was created in the first place to task elected officials with the mission of choosing a professional, welleducated and focused individual to administer the day-today operation of a city in the best interest of the taxpayers.

They, as well as the city manager, are accountable to the voters for their decisions.

Once a council and mayor decide on policies, they should delegate their implementation to the manager. Then avoid trying to micromanage at all costs, free and clear of partisan politics.

It’s not rocket science. “Boss Hogs” need not apply.

I would socialize too much, but everyone knew I’’d get around eventually. I learned to appreciate the plight of shut-ins in their loneliness. I learned what mustard gas did to our GIs in WWI. I learned that some people were a lot less fortunate than I was. I was exposed as a witness to heinous child abuse. I would listen to divorce stories, marital disputes, you name it. Having that experience helped me formulate my own thoughts considering the common man’s struggles in that day! It was a saga of life lessons that continued every day. Basically, having to deal with John Q. Public was a good trial to have.

I believe that aspect honed my interpersonal skills. I would not be surprised if some of those red rubber bands were still in my old driveway!

‘Thank you’ from Sumter County Sheriff As we come to the end of another successful year, we want to thank those who have contributed to our success and ask if you will help us once again with our Toys for Tots program.

This year, the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office would like to give away 100 bicycles. In collaboration with WalMart Supercenter, 1283 Broad St., Sumter, they have agreed to assist us in our efforts.

To assist us with our goal, we are asking each of our friends in the Sumter community and surrounding areas to support our event and consider purchasing a bicycle(s) from this Wal-Mart Supercenter location.

To keep things as smooth as possible, Wal-Mart is asking you to first pick the bicycle of your choosing and then bring it to their photo center to make your payment. Please leave your bicycle(s) at Wal-Mart and we will arrange the pick-up. Bicycles can be purchased until Dec. 23.

Our ultimate goal is to bring a happy Christmas to underprivileged children, along with a message of hope to inspire them to ultimately grow to become responsible adult members of society who are both productive and patriotic.

Thank you in advance for your support and we hope that we will exceed our goal.

JAMES MICKENS James Mickens, 84, departed this life on Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2013, at Tuomey Regional Medical Center, Sumter.

Born Feb. 5, 1929, in Sumter County, he was the son of the late Gainey Mickens and Etta Harriet Mickens. He attended the public schools of Sumter County.

He was a member of Mechanicsville United Methodist Church.

Along with his parents, who were sharecroppers, “Mutt,” as he was affectionately known, worked hard in the cotton and tobacco fields for many years.

He leaves to cherish his memories: eight sons, David Mickens of Lamar, James Mickens, Lonell Mickens, Herbert (Maggie) Pearson, Ray Pearson, Lecedric Mickens and Kevin Mickens, all of Bishopville; 10 daughters, Etta Mickens, Essie (Thomas) Baker, Georgia Martin, Dolly

NELSON from Page A1 director of public relations for the city of Columbia. The group came together and organized Kidney by Christmas, a campaign created to raise funds and possibly align a donor for their beloved friend. Nelson said the idea came from a conversation with Pack and Utsey.

“He said he hoped I’d get a kidney by Christmas, and that’s what started it,” Nelson said.

Beyond his duties as mayor pro tempore, Pack said his involvement was all too natural, if not inevitable.

“I gave one of my kidneys to my brother in 1996,” he said. “He was suffering from essentially the same disease the mayor is.

I’m really here to speak as a donor to show people that you can live a perfectly healthy life after giving a kidney. (Nelson) is a great mayor. We need her. Hopefully, someone will step up to the plate.”

Every person involved in the campaign spoke of Nelson’s seflessness and generosity. They felt it was time to give back.

“She’s such a selfless person, we had to help,” Simms said. “She’s always helping and giving to others, but she’s far too modest to ask for help.”

“She’s a giver, not a taker,” Walker said. “But in this scenario, there aren’t

too many options. She’s going to need help.”

Utsey has known Nelson for quite a while. The two graduated from the same Leadership of South Carolina program and have remained close since.

“We’ve maintained a close relationship both professionally and personally over the years,” she said. “She called me about what she was going through, and I decided to help.”

Nelson couldn’t ask for a better addition to the campaign, as Utsey knows how to promote an issue.

“As a public relations professional, I know how to spread the word,” Utsey said. “As far as this campaign goes, I’m acting as the outreach coordinator.

Columbia is a great place to start such an effort, especially when we’re reaching out across the state.”

The urgency of the situation, Utsey said, helped motivate her and the other campaign organizers to work fast.

“It’s not time to hit a panic switch, but we do need to work quickly,” she said. “Immediately, we needed a course of action.

I asked, ‘What do we need to do next to get you what you need?’ What came out was this campaign.”

Nelson may have kept the prognosis of the disease to herself for years,

Lesane, Edna (Henry) Scott, Angela (Richer) Century, Celeste Mickens and Patricia (Willie) Johnson, all of Bishopville, and Shirley Simon and Mary Johnson of Sumter; three brothers, Charles (Anne Lula Belle) Mickens, Solomon (Sylvia) Mickens and Thaddious (Lydia) Mickens; one brotherin-law, Calvin Davis; 55 grandchildren; 69 greatgrandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; a special nephew, Sammie Pearson; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Elizabeth “Carrie” Mickens; four brothers, Gainey Roosevelt, John, Peter and George Mickens; and three sisters, Essie, Etta Geneva and Mamie Mae Mickens.

Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Monday from the Mechanicsville United Methodist Church, 184 Lake Ashwood Road, Sumter, with the Rev. Kenneth N. Carter, pastor, eulogist, assisted by the Rev. Nathaniel Dixon and the Rev. Charles Williams.

The family will receive friends and relatives at the family home, 52 Fur Lane, Bishopville.

The remains will be placed in the church at noon.

The funeral procession will leave from the family home at 12:30 p.m. Floral bearers will be nieces and granddaughters.

Pallbearers will be nephews and grandsons.

Burial will be in the Mechanicsville United Methodist Church cemetery, Sumter.

but the group wasn’t going to wait.

“Once we heard about her condition and how it would affect her, we got together and exchanged ideas about what to do,” Simms said. “We came up with this idea, and considering how serious the illness is, decided to move forward with it immediately. We never know what could happen.”

“We talked about what her medical needs were going to be, as well as the other problems and expenses that can arise,” Walker said.

While the main goal of the campaign is to find a suitable kidney donor for Nelson, Simms said the effort serves many purposes.

“It’s about raising awareness, as well,” Simms said. “There are many people out there who suffer from the same condition or need another transplant.

This helps bring attention to their needs.”

Polycystic kidney disease is a disorder in which the body produces certain proteins that cause cysts to form in the person’s body.

The most commonly affected organ is the kidney.

As the cysts grow, they can eventually interfere with the function of the organ, often resulting in organ failure. Nelson learned in late November that her condition had reached this critical stage.

Insurances tend to cover most of the medical fees, but other expenses also ac-

SAMUEL M. MOORE Samuel Manning Moore, 89, widower of Sadie Moore, son of the late Oscar Moore and Deller Singleton Moore, was born Oct. 20, 1924, in Sumter County. He departed this life on Friday, Dec. 6, 2013, at Magnolia Manor in Columbia.

Funeral plans are incomplete and will be announced later by Job’s Mortuary Inc., 312 S. Main St., Sumter.

HAROLD A. ROSE Sr. MURRELLS INLET — Harold Algernon Rose Sr., 76, husband of 51 years to Edith Olivia Plowden Rose, died Thursday, Dec. 5, 2013.

Mr. Rose was born Nov. 21, 1937, to the late Ollen Eugene Sr. and Rubinia McFaddin “Ruby” Rose. He grew up in the Sardinia-Gable community and graduated from East Clarendon High School. He attended Presbyterian College and graduated from the University of South Carolina. He served in the Army National Guard. Mr. Rose began his career in Marion with Agrico Chemical Corp. Moving to Sumter, he began a long career with State Farm Insurance Co. as a claims representative and was actively involved with Aldersgate United Methodist Church. In 1985, he settled in Murrells Inlet, where he was active with Surfside United Methodist Church and later retired from State Farm Insurance Co. He loved the outdoors, including fishing and hunting, and spent much time on the waters of Lake Marion and Murrells Inlet.

crue, Simms said, discussing the fundraising element of the campaign. The cause asks for donations to assist with these needs.

The duo even set up a bank account for the campaign.

“We set up an account at National Bank of South Carolina for her,” Walker said. “We wanted to make sure she got the funds and that her needs are met properly.”

“You can make a donation at any branch of NBSC,” Utsey said. “You don’t have to necessarily mail it in.”

Several people have come forward to express their interest to The Clarendon Sun, asking for a direct method of volunteering to be screened as a donor. Simms said they can call Nelson, who will then forward the information to her physician to expedite the process. Nelson’s number is (803) 4641224.

The holidays are just around the corner, and despite the seemingly long road ahead, the group is optimistic that the namesake of their campaign is kept intact.

“We’re hoping to have it done by Christmas,” Walker said. “It would certainly be wonderful.” “(Nelson) has done so much for so many people,” Utsey said. “I have no doubt they’ll pay it forward and return the favor.”

PENNY TAX from Page A1 Blanding said he didn’t know of any particular project likely to be proposed.

“There’s not anything specific I plan to propose,” he said. “I know some council members wanted to include roads in the process, but that’s preliminary.”

One item likely to come up is repairs to the historic county courthouse on North Main Street, Mixon said. The current Penny for Progress tax, approved by voters in 2008, has already provided $18 million to build the new Judicial Center on Harvin Street, the largest single Penny for Progress project. An additional $2 million is being spent to convert the old Family Court building on Magnolia Street into a magistrate’s court. Renovating the old courthouse would complete the process.

“We’re responsible for maintaining it as our county seat and as a historic landmark,” Mixon said.

“So this is a good way to do it.”

Blanding agreed the courthouse is likely to be added to the final project list one way or another.

“It’s falling to pieces, so we need to do it,” he said.

Council members may or may not approve a formal of list of proposals coming out of the meeting, but with the other lead groups also meeting to consider projects, the final list should take shape soon.

“Everything seems to be on track,” Blanding said. “Our staff is providing assistance on coordinating with the other groups, so I’d say within a month to 45 days, we should have some specific proposals.”

2 big plays all SHS can muster

BY WORTHY EVANS Special To The Item COLUMBIA — Dutch Fork stuffed the Sumter High School football team’s offense pretty handily in the 4A Division I state championship game.

In the Silver Foxes’54-14 victory over the Gamecocks at Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday, Sumter ran just 29 plays for only 16 total yards. In the first half alone, Dutch Fork outgained Sumter 400 yards to 20, and

had 565 yards total on the night.

If it weren’t for a defensive superlative and a special teams moment — defensive tackle Demarcus Harris’ 76-yard interception return for a touchdown and Xzavion Burson’s 82-yard TD kickoff return — the score would have been even more lopsided.

The Gamecocks’ first two offensive plays were fumbles.

Panthers, Saints seek control of NFC South

Clemson rally falls short

BY BRETT MARTEL The Associated Press

BY TOM MURPHY Greenville News

NEW ORLEANS — Carolina coach Ron Rivera spent last December trying to muster a respectable enough finish to save his job.

Sean Payton, banished in connection with the bounty scandal, watched his Saints miss the playoffs from afar.

Both teams have gone from 7-9 finishes in 2012 to 9-3 records now, assuring each of winning seasons and putting them on track to make the playoffs.

Yet only one can claim the NFC South crown and the benefits that come with starting the postseason at home.

Which team has the inside track will be established when they clash in the Superdome in a game recently moved from this afternoon to prime time because of how much these clubs have improved.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Clemson mastered the boards and ruled at the free-throw line in its first road game ever at Arkansas on Saturday, but cold shooting and an inability to contain the Razorbacks’ threepoint shooting proved costly.

The TiBROWNELL gers, led by K.J. McDaniels’ careerhigh 27 points, rallied from a late 15-point deficit to pull within four in the final minute before falling 74-68.

Clemson hit 32.8 percent (20 of 61) from the field, seemingly bringing the frigid air outside Walton Arena into its shoot-

“It was a little cold for us,” Clemson coach Brad Brownell said of the wind-chill reading of 11 degrees in Northwest Arkansas, which was covered in snow and ice after a MCDANIELS late-week storm. “Maybe that was part of the reason we shot so poorly. If it was 65 (degrees), maybe we’d shoot a little better.”

Arkansas was led by sophomore Michael Qualls, an inside-outside threat who hit 6 of 7 shots SEE CLEMSON, PAGE B5

Sumter’s Xzaivion Burson returns a kickoff 82 yards for a score on Saturday, marking one of the Gamcocks’ two big plays against Dutch Fork during the 4A Division I state championship game at WilliamsBrice Stadium in Columbia.

BIG PLAYS from Page B1 14-0 deficit by the 8:57 mark of the first quarter. At that point, the game looked to be an early rout.

Dutch Fork threatened again, reaching the Sumter 4-yard line. Matt Colburn burst into the end zone on a 4-yard run, but that play was called back on a holding penalty.

Then, the Gamecocks caught a break in the form of Harris’ pass defense.

With the ball set at the Sumter 12, Dutch Fork quarterback Derek Olenchuk took the snap and immediately felt defensive pressure. Olenchuk scrambled to his left and threw the ball up around the Sumter 24.

Harris, a senior, grabbed hold of it as soon as it was thrown and ran down the right sideline for a 76-yard momentumbreaking touchdown with 5:42 left in the first quarter.

“It was scary,” Harris said about the 14-0 deficit. “I didn’t want to lose and it came down to me. I had to make a play. I did my pass rush, got to the quarterback.

He threw the ball up and it hit me. I looked up and there it was. I grabbed it and hightailed it to the end zone.”

Sumter’s special teams weighed in a short time afterward.

Dutch Fork placekicker Tyler Bass hit the first of his four field goals on the night, a 21-yarder, to make it 17-7. On the kickoff that followed, Burson took up his position as a kick returner just inside the Sumter 20-yard line.

Burson took the ball at his 18 and shook the Silver Foxes’ first wave by the 30-yard line. He held off a Bass lunge at midfield

and escaped an ankle tackle at around the Dutch Fork 20.

Burson, a junior, jogged into the end zone to complete the 82-yard touchdown return at the 2:13 mark of a wild first quarter of play.

“Coach made a good call,” Burson said.

“We did a good job blocking, and I was able to bust open. It was there, and when I saw the 50-yard line, all I saw was the kicker and from there it was wide open.”

Unfortunately for the Gamecocks, who finished the year with a 9-6 record Dutch Fork used the steady passing game of Olenchuk and a pounding rushing attack from Colburn to keep its distance and earn the title. The 12-3 Silver Foxes scored 37 unanswered points and held a 54-14 lead by the end of the third quarter. By that time, Sumter had three first downs and 6 total yards.

It was Harris’ last game as a Gamecock.

While he didn’t go out with a win, he said he got a good feeling from a team that nobody expected would reach the final game of the year.

“We are brothers; we stick together, we got it done,” Harris said of the season after the Gamecocks got off to a 2-5 start. “We got tired of losing. We went to practice and worked hard, and it got us here.”

Burson, who will return, knew nobody expected Sumter to last through the playoffs.

“We knew what we had, we knew what we could do, and we knew what we were capable of doing,” he said. “We made things happen. Next year, we’ve got all the parts and pieces and we can make it happen.”

Northwestern, Myrtle Beach win state titles MATT WALSH / THE ITEM

Sumter’s Erick Wright (9) and Dutch Fork’s Austin Ruger, right, fight for a fumble in the Gamecocks’ end zone on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia.

SUMTER from Page B1 team’s attitude after a 33-14 halftime lead. “We got kind of complacent in the first half, and the second half we looked at each other and said, ‘We’ve come too far and worked too hard to let it all come to nothing.’ All the work we’ve put in we need to show it, and that was extra drive and motivation to get it done.’”

The Silver Fox defense did the rest, holding Sumter to 16 total yards — 21 rushing on 20 carries and minus-5 yards on 4 of 9 passing.

“I think they were just a little bit bigger, faster (and) stronger,” firstyear Sumter head coach Reggie Kennedy said of Dutch Fork. “They’re a little ahead of our program right now. We still have a lot of bright spots for the future. Dutch Fork has a good, quality team and they made us a better football team and (me a better) coach tonight.”

For Sumter, it was a disappointing finish to a stellar season under Kennedy, whose team won seven straight games after a 2-5 start and finished 9-6. It was SHS’ first state title appearance since 2008 and 10th overall.

“It’s obvious Coach Kennedy is one of the best in the state,” Dutch Fork head coach Tom Knotts said. “He’s won everywhere he’s been and to get them here in his first year, what a tribute — not only to his players but to him and his staff. He’s done the job everywhere; he’s a great coach and it won’t be long until we’re playing all the time.”

SHS loses 23 seniors, but most of its key playmakers return including junior quarterback James Barnes, sophomore wide receiver/defensive back Xzavion Burson and junior record-breaking receiver Ky’Jon Tyler. Tyler is tied with Tyler Smith for the most career touchdown receptions in SHS history. Tyler will get his chance to break the record next season as he was held without a catch.

“The kids know how to win now, and that’s what I’m taking away from this,” Kennedy said of the future. “It looks

real bright and it means I’m in the right place.”

It was by no means a good first half for the Gamecocks, who ran just six offensive plays and fumbled twice, but still found themselves trailing just 17-14 after a quarter of play. Meanwhile Dutch Fork ran 30 plays and took advantage of Sumter’s two offensive fumbles, which came on its first two possessions, and led 14-0 at the 8:57 mark of the first quarter.

DFHS quarterback Derek Olenchuck threw his first touchdown pass, a 15-yard strike to Dan Jurgensen, to give DF an early 7-0 lead at the 10:11 mark of the first quarter after Tyler fumbled on the first pass play of the game. The Gamecocks’ second offensive possession saw the same result, a fumble by Burson, and the Silver Foxes scored again to go up 14-0. Colburn ran three yards for a score but fumbled in the end zone and teammate Austin Ruger jumped on the ball for the score.

Just when it looked like Dutch Fork was about to add a third, Sumter senior defensive tackle Demarcus Harris had a 76-yard interception return for a touchdown to pull SHS to a 14-7 deficit at the 5:42 mark.

DF took advantage of its third straight short field after a 28-yard Gamecock punt set it up on the SHS 32. Ten plays and 16 yards later, placekicker Tyler Bass hit a 21-yard field goal to give the Silver Foxes a 10-point advantage at the 2:25 mark of the first quarter. The Gamecocks wasted no time responding as Burson returned the ensuing kickoff 82 yards to make it 17-14.

SHS’ offense was outscored by Dutch Fork kicker Tyler Bass, who accounted for 12 points in field goals of 21, 25, 38 and 19 yards. He had three in the second quarter alone.

Leading 33-14 at the half, Colburn then scored on runs of 4 and 11 yards in the third quarter to make it a 47-14 advantage. He notched his fourth touchdown early in the fourth quarter on a 5-yard run. His other TD came on a 3-yard run in the second quarter.

COLUMBIA — Mason Rudolph threw for a state championship game record eight touchdown passes and ran for another to lead Northwestern to a 62-35 victory over Stratford in the 4A Division II state championship game on Saturday afternoon at WilliamsBrice Stadium.

The two teams also set a state record for the most combined points in a state championship game with 97 points.

Rudolph had touchdown passes of 21, 29, 7, 9, 40, 24, 47 and 39 yards. The senior was 38for-54 for 483 yards. He added his ninth touchdown when he recovered his own fumble in the end zone in the first quarter.

Receiver Dupree Hart had 21 catches for 255 yards and four

STATE CHAMPIONSHIP ROUNDUP touchdowns for the Trojans while Quadarius Fair added seven catches for 175 yards and four touchdowns.

COLUMBIA — Sean Huggins kicked a 22-yard field goal as time expired to give Myrtle Beach a 24-21 victory over Daniel to win the Class 3A state championship.

The Seahawks (12-3) won their seventh state title and the first since 2010.

Graham Vaughn had two touchdown catches for Myrtle Beach. Daniel (14-1) tied the game at 21 with 4:02 remaining on a 5-yard touchdown run by

Ross, Chants ice Montana 42-35

Jensen, Bison roll past Furman 38-7

BY AUSTIN SCHEMPP The Associated Press MISSOULA, Mont. — Alex Ross threw for three touchdowns and Lorenzo Taliaferro rushed for two touchdowns as Coastal Carolina pushed past the No. 8 seed Montana 42-35 in the second round of the FCS Playoffs on a frigid Saturday.

Coastal Carolina (12-2), which survived minus-5 degree temperatures at kickoff, will play twotime defending champion North Dakota State (12-0), a 38-7 winner over Furman, next weekend. “We knew it was going to be cold,’’ Coastal Carolina head coach Joe Magolia said. “It wasn’t a matter of being tough, it was a matter of understanding how the cold worked. It was a matter of retaining heat. It was a matter of body insulation, that was what we were teaching our guys.’’ Ross’s three touchdowns came in the first half, including two to Niccolo Mastromatteo as Chanticleers scored 21 unanswered points in the second quarter to build a 35-14 halftime lead.

The Grizzlies (11-3) opened the second half with a 5-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jordan Johnson to Jamaal Jones. Johnson found Jones again in the fourth quarter for a 72-yard touchdown, to pull within seven, but Coastal Carolina ran out the clock to seal its victory.

Three other players, Chase Naccarato, Mitch Saylor and Travon Van, scored touchdowns

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Brock Jensen threw a touchdown and had a long run for another in the second half as two-time defending national champion North Dakota State pulled away from Furman for a 38-7 win in the second round of the FCS playoffs Saturday afternoon.

The Bison (12-0) are home against Coastal Carolina next weekend.

NDSU scored three TD’s in the third quarter. Sam Ojuri had a short run, Jensen hit Andrew Bonnett for 7 yards and Reese Hannon returned an interception 61 yards to make it 31-7.

Auburn running back Tre Mason, left, runs by Missouri defensive back Randy Ponder during Auburn’s 59-42 SEC championship victory in Atlanta.

Coates and his teammates headed off to watch the games that could decide their fate.

If Auburn misses out on the BCS title game, it will head to the Sugar Bowl as the SEC champion. Missouri (11-2) should be in the mix for a New Year’s Day bowl, with the Capital One, Cotton and Outback games among the possible destinations.

Auburn set an SEC championship game record with 677 yards, including 545 on the ground. Mason had scoring runs of 7, 3 and 1 yards before bursting up the middle on a 13yard TD that clinched the victory with 4:22 remaining. He carried the ball a staggering 46 times, an easy choice as the game’s MVP. He even struck a Heisman

pose, his longshot candidacy getting a huge boost. “You’re looking at one of the top running backs in college football,’’ coach Gus Malzahn said. “He was a warrior today. Unbelievable.’’ In a game where neither team played a lick of defense, Auburn finally stopped Missouri on fourth-and-1 deep in its own territory, setting up Mason’s final score.

Chris Davis broke up the pass, not quite as thrilling as his 109-yard return of a missed field goal to beat Alabama, but another huge play for the nation’s biggest turnaround team.

Auburn, which was 3-9 a year ago and didn’t win a game in the SEC, claimed the title in its first year under Malzahn. The Tigers didn’t even need a dramatic finish to do it, holding Missouri scoreless in the final quarter while Mason notched two more TDs to break open what had been a close game.

STILLWATER, Okla. — Blake Bell threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Saunders with 19 seconds remaining to help No. 18 Oklahoma spoil rival Oklahoma State’s Big 12 championship and BCS bowl game hopes with a 33-24 win.

Bell, playing in place of an injured Trevor Knight, led the Sooners (10-2, 7-2 Big 12) on the game-winning 66-yard drive — going 5-of-8 for 57 yards on the drive.

Desmond Roland led No. 6 Oklahoma State (10-2, 7-2) with 144 yards rushing and accounted for three touchdowns.

Mason, Auburn win shootout for SEC title ATLANTA — If offense was the only requirement, Auburn would be a shoe-in for the BCS championship.

Tre Mason rushed for 304 yards and four touchdowns, leading No. 3 Auburn to a wild 59-42 victory over No. 5 Missouri in a Southeastern Conference title showdown Saturday that looked more like a video game.

Auburn (12-1) kept alive its hopes of playing for the national championship, though the Tigers would likely need either top-ranked Florida State or No. 2 Ohio State to lose in their respective conference title games, which began about the time Auburn was wrapping up the offensive shootout at the Georgia Dome. “We deserve it,’’ receiver Sammie Coates said. “We won the SEC championship. What else do you want us to do?’’

The Paladins (8-6) hung with the Bison early. After Jensen opened the scoring with a 52-yard TD pass to Zach Vraa, Furman answered with a 75yard drive, capped by Marcus Anderson’s 1-yard. run. NDSU got a 37-yard FG on the final play of the first half to lead 10-7.

Sooners upset No. 6 Cowboys

388 yards passing, four touchdowns and had one interception.

Oklahoma State routs Gamecocks

BY KURT VOIGT The Associated Press STILLWATER, Okla. — Frank Martin had an up-close look at many of Oklahoma State’s players when he was still coaching in the Big 12 at Kansas State.

The second-year South Carolina coach saw exactly how far the Cowboys have come since then on Friday night, when No. 9 Oklahoma State raced to a 79-52 victory over the Gamecocks.

Jaylen Shaw had 13 points and Tyrone Johnson 12 for South Carolina (2-3), which played for the first time in nearly two weeks.

The Gamecocks hadn’t played since an 84-72 victory over Florida International on Nov. 24.

Despite the time off, Martin left little doubt that he thought the first-half domination was more about Oklahoma State (8-1) making a point rather than any rust on South Carolina’s part. “They’re good, and they came out and did exactly what I thought they would do,� Martin said. “...

They came out and punched us, and our guys didn’t handle that real well.�

Even with preseason AllAmerica guard Marcus Smart playing a largely supporting role, Oklahoma State used an early 25-2 run to take control and put the game out of reach — easing

ers in double figures, and Oklahoma State forced 24 turnovers in holding South Carolina to a season-low 52 points, just 15 in the first half. “I thought the first half, I don’t know if you’ll see too much better defense being played in this building and hold a team like South Carolina to 15 points,� Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said. “...

Our guys really came out and executed the scouting report and really locked in.�

The Cowboys lost 73-68 to the Tigers last week in the championship game of the Old Spice Classic. That game was the fourth within a week in Florida for the Cowboys, who played against Memphis with Smart — who was limited to 12 points — battling virus-like symptoms.

Smart was back to his usual self on Friday night, scoring 11 of his 13 points in the first half as Oklahoma State built a 26-point lead and put the game well out of reach. The sophomore added five assists, four rebounds and two steals in a game in which the Cowboys gave him plenty of help.

In addition to Nash and Smart, Oklahoma State’s other starters — Markel Brown, Brian Williams and Michael Cobbins — also finished in double figures. Brown had 11 points, while Williams and Cobbins added 10 each, with the Cowboys scoring 33 points off turnovers.

Arkansas made 10 of 21 3-point shots (47.6 percent), four more than any other opponent had managed against the Tigers.

Clemson was masterful at the line with 25 of 29 shooting. McDaniels and Adonis Filer (6 of 6) led a group of five Tigers who didn’t miss from the line.

Damarcus Harrison added 13 points and Rod Hall had 10 for Clemson.

The Tigers held a massive 45-30 rebounding advantage, including a 19-8 edge on the offensive end, but didn’t fully capitalize on their extra possessions.

Booker, CU upset Kansas BOULDER, Colo. — Askia Booker brought Colorado fans storming onto the court by swishing a 25-footer at the buzzer Saturday to lift Colorado to a 75-72 victory over No. 6 Kansas, marking the program’s first victory over the Jayhawks in 20 tries.

Colorado (9-1) squandered a sixpoint lead with 1:44 left and Kansas tied the game with a bucket by Perry Ellis with 4 seconds left.

But after a timeout, the Buffs got BOOKER the ball to Booker, who dribbled a few paces past half court and launched the shot that hit nothing but net.

Booker and Spencer Dinwidde led CU with 15 points each.

Wiggins led the Jayhawks (6-2), who have lost two of their last three, with 22.

PANTHERS from Page B1

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Seattle Seahawks look to clinch the NFC West title today when they travel to San Francisco to take on the division rival 49ers.

Seahawks try to clinch NFC West

BY JANIE MCCAULEY The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — A December matchup between fierce rivals that only months ago looked to be a for-sure NFC West championship decider has instead become San Francisco’s chance to show it still belongs in the playoff mix. Period.

If the two-time reigning division champion 49ers (8-4) can’t beat the Seahawks (11-1) at home today, they will certainly have a far more daunting task of trying to beat them in Seattle if the teams meet again in the NFC playoffs.

“If this doesn’t fire you up, if this doesn’t fire up the fans, then what does?’’ 49ers coach Jim

Harbaugh said. “I suppose Abraham Lincoln riding across the field with a frock and a top hat, riding a horse, waving an American flag. I doubt that would fire them up, if this game doesn’t fire them up.’’

Here are some things to watch for: SAN FRANCISCO’S 12TH MAN

The 49ers are calling for a “red out’’ this weekend, as in all fans wear red. Anything to help boost the energy at Candlestick for a game of this magnitude.

Sure, the Niners would love to establish a homefield advantage similar to what Seattle has.

BRAGGING RIGHTS IN THE WEST

Sure, Seattle has owned this series of late, outscoring the

49ers 71-16 in the past two meetings, both at home. Yet that hardly matters with the high stakes on this one.

“It’s a new game, another Sunday,’’ 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis said. “We’ve talked about it the last couple of weeks that every game we play from here on it out is important.’’

WILSON DRAWS PRAISE

Harbaugh doesn’t have enough good things to say about Wilson, and the 49ers coach has one of football’s talented young quarterbacks himself.

“He’s a little bit quicker than some defensive linemen, I guess,’’ defensive end Justin Smith said of Wilson. “I’m one of them.’’

tighten some things up.

“This year they’re moving the ball on offense. They’re playing well on defense,’’ Kuechly added. “I guess it is a little bit the same’’ for Carolina.

Last weekend, these teams looked more like they were going in opposite directions.

The Saints fell hard, 34-7 in Seattle on Monday night in what had been hyped as the biggest game in the NFC to date. Carolina increased its NFL-long winning streak to eight with a convincing 27-6 win over recently resurgent Tampa Bay. Drew Brees bristled at the notion the Saints’ last performance might have eroded their confidence.

“We’ve done things well for a very long time in a lot of different ways,’’ the quarterback said. “One game does not set that back. One game does not change our mindset, our confidence level or our attitude in any way. ... We still know we’re a great football team.’’

The Panthers’ winning streak featured what was widely seen as a coming-of-age performance on a Monday night against New England a few weeks ago. Winning a night game in the Superdome, where the Saints are 6-0 this season, might be even more impressive.

“It’s a big game that everyone will be watching,’’ Kuechly said. “It’s against the Saints — a division game and a good team. There’s not a whole lot of motivation that you need in this game. It’s Drew Brees and the Saints on Sunday night.

We’re 9-3. They’re 9-3. It’s going to be an exciting game.’’

On that point, Kuechly gets no argument from the opposition.

“Yeah, it is a big game,’’ Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins said. “You don’t really have to add much sugar to this one.’’

Here are five things to look for as the Panthers and Saints play for the NFC South lead:

CONTAINING CAM

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has been slippery during his team’s win streak, often breaking out of tackles when it appears he’s down, only to pick up a big gain. He did so last week on a 56-yard jaunt.

“He does a very good job of deciding when to run and when to look for the throw down the field,’’ Saints coach Sean Payton noted.

The Saints will need more discipline to bottle Newton up than they displayed against Seattle’s Russell Wilson, who gained 47 yards on scrambles.

BALL HOGS

This matchup features offenses that have been the best in the NFL at keeping the ball away from their opponents. The Panthers are first in the league in time of possession, averaging 33:10. The Saints are second, averaging 32:30.

RIVERBOAT RON

The Panthers have faced fourthand-1 12 times since Week 2. Carolina has gone for it nine times, converting eight, including four for touchdowns. For that, Carolina’s coach has earned the nickname “Riverboat Ron.’’ “The moniker is what it is as far as trying to describe some of the decisions I’ve made,’’ Rivera said. “I kind of look at what I’ve done as just calculating it. ... We’ve got to just keep rolling with it I guess.’’

RUNNING CONCERNS

Newton has led his team in rushing the past three games — not what Carolina wants. But the Panthers expect running back DeAngelo Williams to return from his quad contusion. Williams had 210 yards rushing and two TDs in Carolina’s last meeting with the Saints.

New Orleans, meanwhile, has struggled to run consistently, ranking 23rd in the league.

DOME ADVANTAGE

Rivera said he wasn’t about to judge the New Orleans offense by its recent futility in Seattle, perhaps a wise move given Brees’ production in the Superdome. The Saints QB has completed 73.5 percent of his passes for 2,141 yards and 19 TDs while getting intercepted only three times in six home games.

Doc Holladay inspects the new soles and heels he put on an old pair of lineman’s boots.

Cobbler keeps customers ON THEIR FEET

BY IVY MOORE ivym@theitem.com

I

“Being an old country boy, I enjoy doing that.

All I’ve ever done is work with my hands, and I still enjoy it.”

Daniel “Doc” Holladay

n a small shop near the end of South Main Street sits a cozy, unimposing little shop that’s been serving Sumter residents for many years. Its facade is antique and inconspicuous — you might not notice it unless you were specifically looking for a cobbler.

Once you walk into City Shoe Service, there’s no mistaking what kind of business you’re visiting — you’ll be engulfed by the nostalgic scent of shoe polish and leather, and seconds later, by an enthusiastic greeting from the resident shoe repairman, Daniel “Doc” Holladay.

He’s at the shop three days a week — Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, according to the sign in his window at 43 S. Main St. that also informs passersby that on Sundays, he’ll be in church.

Practical and down to earth, Holladay’s conversation is colorful and peppered with Southern idioms. He is easy to like, and customers have been bringing their shoes, purses, luggage, belts and other items to him at the shop since 1990.

For the past two years, however, they’d been without the services and friendly greetings of the cobbler. Holladay recently reopened City Shoe Service, after taking time off to care for his ill wife.

“About two years ago, my (late) wife Bessie had a stroke,” he explained, “and I quit to take care of her. I paid the rent and the light bill, but the shop was closed. I waited on my wife 24/7; she didn’t want anybody else. The good Lord called her home.

She helped me up here 17 years.”

Not one to be idle, Holladay reopened the shop on Nov. 5.

The interior is the same as when he shut down, jars of screws and nails on the shelves, stacks of leather soles and half soles, and nearby, the iron machines he uses for the heavier work.

The tools of shoe repair haven’t changed much over the years. A large machine he uses to attach soles sits in the corner.

“That cost as much as a car,” he said. “Not a Cadillac or a Lexus, but a regular car.”

Since he’s reopened, Holladay said, “People have been finding me by word of mouth. I’ve got enough work to keep me busy.

IVY MOORE/THE ITEM

The unimposing entrance to City Shoe Service at 43 S. Main St. evokes nostalgia for a time when skilled craftsmen took pride in their work and customer service.

“I’m back in the groove.”

Why “Doc?” “I picked that up in 10th grade,” he said. An ongoing argument that ended in a scuffle with a senior “caused the principal to tell me, ‘Boy, you must think you’re the real Doc Holladay,’ and it’s stuck with me ever since.”

Family tradition “I’ve been here since 1990,” Holladay said, “and my mama and daddy had it before that. I had a shop in Columbia, and I sold out when they retired and took over (their business) here.”

Holladay first started working on shoes in his teens, introduced to the craft by the late B.E. Townsend, then married to Holladay’s fiancee, Pat Townsend, who sometimes assists him SEE COBBLER, PAGE C6

It’s easy to put the ‘active’ in your holiday activities

BY DEBORAH KINNARD AND CLAY OUTEN USC Prevention Research Center The holiday season can be a busy time of year, filled with preparing for family visits, shopping, and a number of outings and festivities. Staying active during the holidays may help reduce stress and burn extra calories that so many of us consume at holiday gatherings. Between the chilly temperatures, shorter daylight hours, and hectic schedules, making time for physical activity can be challenging, but it may be easier and more fun than you think. There are plenty of convenient and enjoyable ways to add physical activity into the holiday mix while you are out and about during the holidays.

Experts recommend at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week, but remember that small changes make big differences! If you have trouble finding time, try to spread those 30 minutes into three 10-minute periods over the course of the day. A simple activity like walking can be done just about anywhere: the mall, a local park or track, or just around the block. After enjoying a holiday meal, try taking a brisk walk around the block as a fun way to spend time with family and friends, visit neighbors and enjoy nature or holiday decorations!

Look for creative ways to build physical activity into your holiday errands and seasonal chores. Try parking a little farther away from a store and walk briskly to the entrance. This is a simple way to get in extra steps and avoid the stress of finding close parking. Consider running errands when stores are less crowded and spend a few extra minutes walking through the store or even a few laps around the building or parking lot. If you travel by bus, get off a few stops earlier and walk the rest of the way. Seasonal tasks like raking leaves and household chores such as vacuuming and mopping also count as physical activity and allow you to burn calories as you tidy your

home or prepare for visitors.

Exploring the great outdoors is an invigorating way to ward off cabin fever, maintain a positive mood or entertain guests. Dress in warm layers and invite a friend or family member or take your pet for a pleasant walk. Sumter County is fortunate to have several parks that offer great walking trails with scenic views and brilliant fall foliage.

Taking a walk through a natural space can relieve stress and be a refreshing way to enjoy the natural beauty of the season.

Sumter County Active Lifestyles has compiled a wonderful brochure, Public Places to Be Active in Sumter, SC, with helpful descriptions and useful information about places available for physical activity.

Contact Catherine Blumberg at (803) 774-3860 for more information or visit www.sumtercountyactivelifestyles.org for a free copy.

Remember, with a little planning and creativity, you can remain active as you prepare for the season and celebrate the holidays.

All photos on this page are scenes from the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, by the forces of the Empire of Japan.

reflections

ecember 7, 2013, marks the 72nd year since the attack on Pearl Harbor. This assault by the forces of the Empire of Japan prompted U.S. entry into World War II. The action resulted in the loss of 2,402 military personnel, and according to the U.S. Navy Museum, “Twentyone ships of the U.S. Pacific Fleet were sunk or damaged. Aircraft losses were 188 destroyed and 159 damaged, the ma- Sammy WAY jority hit before they had a chance to take off.

There were a total of 2,403 American casualties, including 68 civilians, most of them killed by improperly fused anti-aircraft shells landing in Honolulu. There were 1,178 military and civilians wounded.”

Eventually, all but three of the ships sunk or damaged at Pearl Harbor were repaired: the USS Arizona, the USS Oklahoma and the USS Utah.

The attack had a profound effect on America, causing the nation to shift immediately from a peacetime to a wartime economy.

More than 16 million men and

women would serve in the country’s military forces during this global conflict. This momentous event united the country behind our military and political leaders.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt served during the war years and was elected for an unprecedented four terms; however, he died at the beginning of his fourth term.

According to Wikipedia, “in wake of the attack, 15 Medals of Honor, 51 Navy Crosses, 53 Silver Stars, four Navy and Marine Corps Medals, one Distinguished Flying Cross, four Distinguished Service Crosses, one Distinguished Service Medal, and three Bronze Stars were awarded to the American servicemen who distinguished themselves in combat at Pearl Harbor.”

Pearl Harbor remains one of the most memorable military actions during World War II. The Arizona Memorial continues to be one of the most visited of all military shrines. These hallowed places remind us of the hardships of the war that began 72 years ago and of the sacrifices of our veterans who fought to ensure our freedom.

LEMIRA CELEBRATES HISTORY

Lemira Elementary School recently celebrated the history and importance of the 1963 Children’s Crusade and the 1963 March on Washington. The Children’s Crusade was a march by hundreds of school students in Birmingham, Ala., in May of 1963.

The assembly was held Nov. 22. That afternoon, the students, faculty, and many community members and guests walked around the Lemira community in remembrance of the 1963 March on Washington. The original march, which culminated with Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech was another important event that led to the Civil Rights Act. CHESTNUT OAKS MAKES DONATION

The Sumter High Rollers, a local motorcycle club, visited Chestnut Oaks for the third annual partnership with the school to deliver turkeys and additional Thanksgiving meal items for nine needy families in the Chestnut Oaks family.

In the past, the group and the school personnel fried turkeys, but this year, since the district was closed during Thanksgiving week, the turkeys were delivered frozen so the families could prepare them for Thanksgiving Day. Students who had the highest benchmark scores were rewarded by mingling with the High Rollers and having their pictures taken with the group.

Sixth-graders with the highest scores were Andre Amaker, Pharish Jeannis, Reysiane Salazar and Layla Stancliff.

Seventh-graders were Kya Cumming, Keevon Fullard, Imani Kelley, Teon McElveen, Iyanno Nero, Shabriana Wells, Kyrin Williams and Zakim Zuell.

Eighth-graders with the highest scores were Alfonso Tellez Aranda, Jedayius Dixon, Jamaya June, Anijah McBride, Shanaria McKnight, Tania Eadie Moses, Dayanna Sweat, Malik Washington and Marques Wilson.

St. Anne Catholic School OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

The St. Anne Beta Club and St. Anne Senate were in charge of the November Service Project for the school, and they chose Operation Christmas Child. Each day before Thanksgiving break, children from grades K4 through eighth grade brought in small toys and toiletries to donate to the big box on the stage during morning assembly.

On Nov. 20, Beta and Senate volunteers met to prepare individual shoe boxes for children in war-torn and natural disaster-struck countries. Each box will be handed out to children who attend a service about who Christ is and how to receive him as their Savior. A Bible in their own language will be given to each family.

Thank you to Anita Vaughn for providing many fillers so that each box would be complete.

Sumter Christian School NOVEMBER BUSY TIME

November was a very busy month for the students at Sumter Christian School.

On Nov. 14, the junior and senior classes were able to visit Grace Christian School in West Columbia for an annual college fair. They were able to see presentations, visit with college representatives and students and learn about more opportunities for continuing their Christian education.

On Nov. 18, sixth-grade students were able to enjoy the fruits of three weeks’ worth of hard work when they exploded their volcanos outside the gym and turned in their written reports. According to the poll that Amanda Kish took, the students said that Julie Blanton’s Mount Jellybean had the best explosion and John Haston Terry’s Mount Deadmoss was the best-looking and the bestoverall volcano.

In his fifth-grade class, Laurance Kannon had his father, Laurance Kannon Sr., 92, share his stories from his service as a gunner and radio man during World War II. Carl Dennis, who served in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot, and Michael Duffy, who served as a medic during the Gulf War, also came in to give the students a better understanding and appreciation for historical events. Israel Catoe said that “it was a good thing for them to share their stories because we learned how (soldiers) serve our country and protect it.” The students found this experience very sobering, particularly when Kannon described being shot down over no man’s land in France and seeing all of the crosses from the World War II casualties knowing that they were only adding more.

STUDENT AWARDS

This week, Matthew Steeb from K5, Kylan Mumford from first grade, David Adams from third grade, Zoie Blanding and Kyla Duffy from fifth grade, Kayla Gibbs from sixth grade, and Susanna Hutson from seventh grade all received the Student of the Week award for good behavior and participation in class. — Miriam Marritt

COBBLER from Page C1 in the shop.

“I grew up in Florence, and I started working with him,” Holladay said. “He raccoon hunted, and my daddy raccoon hunted, but he was running a shoe shop. My daddy was a welder. I wasn’t but 14.”

Always industrious, Holladay eagerly complied when Townsend asked, “Boy, why don’t you ask your mama and daddy and come on up in the evening on Saturday?”

Two years later the Holladays moved to Sumter.

“I worked with the Majestic Shoe Shop when I was young, and I worked for Mr. Haynes that used to be across from Simpson’s Hardware many years ago, and my mama had a shop,” Holladay said.

“There’s no year since I was 14 that I haven’t worked on shoes. I would go over there hunting with (Townsend) and work with him all day Saturday.”

It was Doc who got the Holladays in the shoe repair business.

“I’m the one that taught Daddy how to fix shoes,” he said, “and he quit (his welding job with B.L.) Montague Co. and opened a shoe shop.

“We ran the business together, even when I was a young man.”

The work Holladay describes his business as “a full line shoe shop.”

He said there’s no question people still want to get their favorite shoes repaired and keep them as long as they can.

People get attached to their shoes, he said, picking up a pair of heavy, black leather work boots.

“This man works for (a utility company),” he said.

“He said, ‘These boots may

look rough, but I want them fixed.’

“They’re lineman boots. I’ve shined ‘em up. I put half-soles and heels on them. He said these boots cost him over a hundred dollars. For 45, he can go again.”

The boots look barely used.

“The uppers are good leather,” Holladay said. “If they hadn’t have been, I’d have told him to put the money on new boots.

“He asked about the upper, and I said, ‘They look like they can stand another go-round.”

It’s the female customers that make the shoe repair business, Holladay has found.

“A shoe shop without a ladies’ business, you can shut the door,” he said.

“I’m going to tell you why: This day and time, it’s not like 1960. It’s 2013 – they’ve got to have this suit for that day, this dress for another day, and everyone’s got a daggone different shoe to go with it. A lady has a closet full of shoes, and a man’s probably got three pair.

And if you get the lady of the house’s business, it’s likely if her husband needs something repaired, she’s going to bring it to you.”

Shoes have changed “One thing is the way things are made now,” Holladay said.

“They used to make shoes out of leather. The difference in shoes from when I started and now is day and night. Now there’s vinyl made in Taiwan and China and a lot of times, what’s really hurt the shoe business, time you figure your materials and labor they can go out to some discount shoe store and buy a pair for what it costs to patch one. And I don’t do no job for nobody if I have a

He often puts tips on ladies’ high heels and dyes shoes and purses to match prom and wedding outfits. In fact, Holladay pointed out, our motto is “We will fix your heels, fix your soles, we will even dye for you.”

He gestured toward Townsend.

“That woman there, she can really dye a shoe,” he said. “It looks like it came straight from the store when she gets through with it.”

One of Holladay’s memorable challenges happened about 15 years ago, when, Holladay said, “A woman brought a pair of high dollar men’s

“I said, ‘Lady, somebody’s cut these shoes.’ She said, ‘Yeah, I did it. Me and my boyfriend broke up, and we had a big fight. He don’t know I cut his shoes, and I want you to do something to help me out of this situation because I’m going to get back with him.’

“I patched them up and did the best I could, but I said, ‘Lady, I’ve done the best I could do.”

Another memorable job involved replacing an emblem on a leather purse. Holladay used a special glue to fasten the metal brooch.

“She asked me if it would hold,” he said. “I told her, ‘Lady, that cement will hold a broken marriage together.’

“She said, ‘You ain’t got some of that I can take home, have you?’”

Hudson, battling in the open 147-pound class, sparred with Tony Bennett of Hanahan Playground (North Charleston) for two rounds before unleashing a two-fisted attack in the third that quickly got his foe in trouble. Hudson’s barrage convinced referee Lucky Guliford that he was too strong and too experienced for the Charleston boy so the bout was halted and Hudson awarded a TKO in the third.

Al Willimon, right, the new owner of G&G Metal Fabrication and Fire Equipment Services, talks with finisher Bob Hingst in the bay of the company on Stamey Livestock Road recently. Willimon, a Greenville businessman, was in Sumter this week organizing the company he purchased just before Thanksgiving.

Former G&G owner Tom Garrity, who founded the manufacturer nearly 30 years ago, passed away last year.

G&G’s new owner sees growth in fabrication company’s future Greenville businessman hopes to expand, partner with Safe Industries

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com One year after the death of its founder, G&G Metal Fabrication and Fire Equipment Services has been sold to new ownership.

Greenville businessman Al Willimon completed the purchase of the metal fabrication company on Nov. ‘We’re pretty 20 and spent three days earlier much going to this week at its headquarters on offer the same Stamey Livestock Road, familiarizlevel of service. ing himself with the business and I want to build a getting to know the employees quality product and the local business comand complemunity.

G&G produces fire trucks for staAl Willimon, new tions throughout South Carolina, owner of G&G Metal along with other tools and equipFabrication and Fire ment, and Garrity not only sold fire Equipment Services products, but also served as a volunteer firefighter in Wedgefield, eventually rising to the rank of captain.

Now Willimon, the owner of fire equipment wholesaler Safe

A fire engine sits outside the G&G facility.

The Sumter company produces fire trucks for several South Carolina departments.

Hingst looks over a truck the metal fabrication company manufactured for the SardisTimmonsville Fire Department. At its busiest, Hingst said the company can produce about 15 fire trucks a year.

Industries of Greenville, is taking over the company Garrity built into a recipient of the S.C. Silver Crescent Award for Manufacturing. Willimon said he wants to maintain the legacy Garrity passed on.

“We’re going to continue doing the same work as Tom did,” he said.

The company’s new owner thought G&G would be a natural partner with Safe Industries, which he will continue to run as a separate company. Safe sells equipment such as fire hoses, nozzles and portable breathing apparatuses, which can be packaged with the trucks and en-

gines manufactured in Sumter.

“Most stations usually purchase that stuff with the fire truck,” Willimon said. “We can kind of feed off each other, and one business can help the other.”

Willimon hopes to be able to expand the company’s current roster of 14 employees by hiring new fabricators and people to handle body paint and electrical work, along with purchasing agents and a general manager.

Eventually, he’d like to add more manufacturing space at the Stamey Livestock office.

As a longtime member of the fire-equipment business, Willi-

mon had been familiar with G&G and its owner for years. He served for 15 years with the Simpsonville Fire Department, where he was the captain of a heavy rescue truck, before starting Safe Industries with three employees in 2005. Although Safe isn’t a manufacturer, Willimon often ran into Garrity out on the trail.

“We weren’t really competitors, but I’d seen him at trade shows, and we’d met and talked a few times,” Willimon said.

After Garrity passed away last year, it soon became clear to the Upstate businessman that a new opportunity might open to move into a different side of the fire equipment business.

“A fire chief called me and told me they might have to close the business,” he said, “so I called (Garrity’s son) Tim Garrity. Tim definitely wanted his father’s legacy to continue on.”

For now, Willimon plans to take an active role as president and CEO of the company, commuting to Sumter at least a couple days a week to oversee operations here. Back in Greenville, Safe Industries and its 55 employees will continue operations without him for at least part of the work week.

Willimon’s goal, he said, is to continue offering the same services to South Carolina’s firehouses and hopefully produce an even better product.

“We’re pretty much going to offer the same level of service,” he said. “I want to build a quality product and complement what they already had here and help the company grow.”

Intruder threatens ecosystem, open season planned

T

BRAGGIN’ RIGHTS

afield & afloat

he rumors have been floating around for some time now and I think I’ve gotten to the bottom of it. The rumor was that the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, DNR, was going to hold a season for the Double-Crested Cormorants.

Yep, it’s true, with some stipulations.

For as Earle long as I WOODWARD can remember, the Cormorants have been a plague on the fish population around the Santee Cooper Lake System, they will eat just about any fish that they can pin between their beaks and they don’t ever seem to stop.

I remember back some time ago when I had risen early to get out onto the water in the Wyboo and Potato Creek areas; the plan was to troll for stripers.

As I arrived in the vicinity of Camp Bob Cooper, the water at the intersection of the two creeks was boiling with what looked like a massive school of stripers tearing into the huge schools of shad that frequented the locale.

Nope, it wasn’t stripers eating the shad; it was a flock of Cormorants that must have been close to an acre in size; massive. I could only imagine the carnage taking place below the surface.

And that is where a lot of the problem lies, according to the story on the DNR website, “The effects of migrant cormorants that winter on the Santee Cooper Lakes include competition with the resident fish population for clupeid (herring, shads, menhaden, etc.) forage, direct predation on outmigrating anadromous juvenile shad and herring, direct predation

on returning anadromous adults while crowded below the System’s dams and direct predation on juvenile game fish and catfish.

In addition, cormorant harassment has been linked to significant winter kills of adult Red Ear sunfish too large to swallow.” The Red Ear sunfish is better known around here as a “Shellcracker”.

The anadromous fish, or fish that live in salt water, but spawn in fresh water, are part of the backbone of the food chain of the lake system, if damaged or destroyed it could ruin the fishing in the lake for years to come, especially the fish the depend on them so heavily, like the striped bass.

So, these birds are eating the bait that the game fish need to survive, eating the small game fish before they can mature and spawn, and killing desirable, table quality fish. They

need to go.

DNR, in conjunction with other institutions has been studying the problem for years and has finally decided that the need was great enough that the best option to control the birds was to allow a controlled harvest of the vile creatures.

But wait, you can’t just go out there and blast away, as I said earlier, there are certain stipulations and conditions that must be met before the shooting can take place.

As I understand it, “DNR is authorized by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to designate agents for this action under the Depredation Order for Double-crested Cormorants to Protect Public Resources.”

To become an “agent”, you must first attend one of two training sessions that will be held at the Santee Cooper Auditorium, 1 Riverwood Drive, in

Moncks Corner. The first meeting will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2014. at 6:00 p.m. and the other will be at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8th. You’ll have to go through a safety session, a session on species identification, weapons restrictions, the area that can be hunted and the program dates/hours. No pre-registration is required, just show up.

To participate in the removal program, you will have to have a valid South Carolina hunting license and the program permit at all times during removal.

The removal will begin 30 minutes before sunrise on Feb. 2, 2014, and go through 30 minutes after legal sunset on March 31, 2014.

The removal will only be allowed in the legal boundaries of the Santee Cooper Lake System and just in areas where waterfowl hunters hunt waterfowl.

So, if you take the course and sign up; follow the rules, hunt them only where you would hunt ducks, beginning on Feb. 2 and until March 31st, you can blast away at Cormorants.

Now, I for one don’t know how much good it’s gonna do, we’ll find that out in times to come, but I can tell you one thing, for those of us that love the lake and love to fish, it sure is gonna make us feel like we’re contributing to the solution of a problem, instead of standing idly by while an intruder steals our fish.

There was not a telephone number to call on the website and things are still evolving, so without taking the training sessions, I haven’t got a clue as to the rules and regulations, but I do intend to find out, and I’ll try to update you as things progress.

Hey, let’s pack that auditorium and “git ’er done”.

California citrus growers fight off cold spell

BY AMY TAXIN Associated Press Writer SANTA ANA, Calif. — Citrus grower Fred LoBue breathed a sigh of relief on Friday after two sleepless nights monitoring the icy temperatures in his family’s Central Valley orange groves.

The 73-year-old farmer had managed to protect most of his 1,000 acres of citrus from a freeze that threatened crops throughout the state, but he could face a deeper chill next week.

“They’re talking some seriously cold temperatures,” said LoBue, who has been growing citrus for about half a century.

Growers across California have toiled this week to protect the state’s prized $2 billion-a-year citrus industry and other key crops such as lettuce and avocados from the cold snap that engulfed the state, dropping temperatures to levels that can damage fruit and delay the har-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Field worker Fernando Villenueva waits for warmer temperatures to begin picking oranges during a cold snap that affected the San Joaquin Valley citrus crop Friday in Orange Cove, Calif.

vest of greens.

Some damage is expected to the mandarin and navel orange crops in the Central Valley, but the extent is still unknown. Any losses likely won’t be known for several weeks, though the industry

does not expect a dramatic impact on supply or price, according to California Citrus Mutual, an association of growers.

Citrus farmers are no strangers to cold and use irrigation and wind machines

to propel warm air through the fields and raise the temperature by several degrees after nightfall. Farmers are on the lookout once temperatures drop to 28 degrees, and anything in the low 20s is critical, said Bob Blakely, the association’s director of industry relations.

Temperatures fell to near record lows early Thursday and Friday in Fresno at 28 degrees. A storm system was expected to increase those temperatures to about freezing early Saturday and was thought bring snowflakes to the valley floor, said Modesto Vasquez, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service.

Another surge of cold air will then drive temperatures lower again, he said.

Citrus farmers have spent $12.4 million since the cold snap began to try to warm up the fields, the growers’ association said. Of key concern is the mandarin crop, because the tiny fruit is thinner skinned than other or-

anges, making it more susceptible to cold.

Ben Yosako, an inspector for the Tulare County Agricultural Commissioner’s office, said fruit samples have been collected and will be stored at room temperature, then cut open Monday to evaluate the damage.

“It’s still too early to tell how much damage there is going to be,” Yosako said.

Avocado growers in California are also bracing for icy temperatures that threaten to freeze the quarter-ofan-inch stems that dangle fruit from the tree, which could drop avocados to the ground.

Farmers are planning to increase irrigation and use wind machines if necessary on the state’s 55,000 acres planted with avocados, but it’s early in the growing season, so any dropped fruit “would be a total loss at this point and time,” said Tim Spann, research project manager at the California Avocado Commission.

‘Sing Off’ Returns returns with diverse mix Lachey With 'The Sing Off' of vocalists, a cappella groups Sunday, December 8 - 14, 2013

www.theitem.com

Nick Lachey hosts NBC’s NickSing Lachey returns as the “The Off,” returning host of at NBC's "The Sing Off," 9 p.m. Monday. premiering its fourth season on Monday at 9 p.m.

By Candace Havens © 2013 FYI Television, Inc. After a year off the air, "The Sing Off" is back for a fourth season with host Nick Lachey and judges Ben Folds (Ben Folds Five), Jewel and Shawn Stockman (Boyz II Men), premiering Monday at 9 p.m. on NBC. The competition among the a cappella groups (which sing without musical accompaniment) is tough this season, and the vocalists are as diverse as they come. And they are all fighting for the chance to win a recording contract and $100,000 cash.

A cappella is a style of singing that comes quite naturally to Lachey, who has been doing it since he was in high school. "A cappella singing has meant a great deal to me throughout my life and career," Lachey says. "It's why this show is so special to me. I first started singing a cappella in high school. I went to a performing arts school and spent my summers working in an amusement park called Kings Island. I was in a barbershop quartet. We walked around the park and sang to guests and whatnot. Then I sang with different groups, ultimately with 98 Degrees. We put our demo together with two different a cappella songs on it. In our audition for Motown, they asked us to sing a cappella. We sang a Boyz II Men melody. And he signed us on the spot.

"The subplot to that, to be on a show with Shawn from Boyz II Men, is kind of a surreal moment. It's given a lot to me and for me this is a way of giving back to the genre of a cappella. It takes incredible talent to do. Oftentimes I think people take it

for granted and don't realize how hard it is to do, which is why a show like 'The Sing Off' is so special. There are so many people out there who are responding to it. A cappella is going through a renaissance with all the attention that our show has brought to it. And the success of (season three winners) Pentatonix they just debuted in the Top 10 on the Top 200 - and movies like 'Pitch Perfect,' there's such a passion for the music. I'm very proud to be a part of this. And proud to announce Pentatonix will be performing on the finale of the show on Dec. 23."

The show didn't air in 2012, and Lachey says it's thanks to the fans that it has returned. "We were cautiously optimistic that it would come back in some form - it was put on the back burner there for a moment," he explains. "I have to give a lot of credit to the very passionate fans for petitioning and clamoring for it to come back. When we all got the call that it was coming back, we were ecstatic. We all do the show because we love the genre and believe in it. For Ben, Shawn and I, who had been with the show from the beginning, it was a very welcome call."

As in years past, there were will be theme nights for some of the shows, and there will be performances with those involved with the show. "For the most part, there are songs that everyone will know from this year, and years past," Lachey says. "We do have some really creative themes. There are chart-toppers and a movie theme night. Some of the shows have a theme that gives them a great kind of arc. There are some holiday songs, it is the season, but it is not all holiday music. It's such a

feel-good show it sort of lends itself to that. And, as in years past, the judges will be performing.

"One of the great things about 'The Sing Off' is the exposure the singers get," Lachey continues. "They are singing in front of millions of people, and it gives them sort of an instant platform and fan base. There is a responsibility to build on that once the show is done. Pentatonix has done a great job with that. They won season three and now they've turned that into millions of YouTube hits, and their song a few weeks ago debuted in the top 10 on Billboard.

For an a cappella group, or for any group, that's a huge accomplishment, but especially for an a cappella group. I give a lot of credit to those guys for their outstanding work ethic. No matter what you do in life, you have to be willing to work hard at it."

Last summer, Lachey went back on tour with 98 Degrees, so those a cappella skills came in handy. "It was a lot of fun to get back together with those guys, after more than a decade off," Lachey says. "We were out there with New Kids on the Block and Boyz II Men, and to be a part of a sold-out arena tour like that was very special. It was just performing with them.

"Shawn and I finished our last concert in Indianapolis on Aug. 4th, and started 'The Sing Off' on Aug. 5th.

We went right from one into the other. When you're doing something that you're passionate about, it's easy to rally and summon the energy to move from one to the other. I feel very honored and blessed to do both. Shawn would say the same thing. It's been an exciting year."
