U.S. Supreme Court justice dies 79-year-old Antonin Scalia known for his conservatism WASHINGTON (AP) — Antonin Scalia, the influential conservative and most provocative member of the Supreme Court, has died. He was 79.

‘I enjoyed every day I practiced medicine’

The U.S. Marshals Service in Washington confirmed Scalia’s death at a private residence in the Big Bend area of West Texas. Spokeswoman Donna

Sellers said Scalia had retired the previous evening and was found dead Saturday morning after he did not appear for breakfast.

His death sets up a likely ideological showdown during a presidential election year as President Obama weighs nominating a successor to the justice in the remainder of his White House term.

Scalia was part of a 5-4 conservative

majority — with one of the five, Anthony Kennedy, sometimes voting with liberals on the court.

Scalia used his keen intellect and missionary zeal in an unyielding attempt to move the court farther to the right after his 1986 selection by President Ronald Reagan. He also advocated tirelessly in favor of originalism,

Dr. Blanchard recalls career

BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com Dr. Mary Elizabeth Blanchard remembers a time when working in the medical field was much different from what it is today.

Blanchard, one of the first female Obstetrics and Gynecology physicians in the state, began her career in 1956, before the existence of technologies such as ultrasound, fetal monitors and laser surgery.

Back in those days, a pregnant woman’s uterus was checked with a tape measure to see if the baby was growing, for example, Blanchard said.

Doctors would observe how many times the baby moved by having an expectant mother lie on her left side. A fetascope was used to listen to the baby’s heart tones.

Blanchard was born in McColl, a small town in Marlboro County. At the age of 4, she and her family moved to Bishopville, where her father, the late Dr. Felix Anthony Blanchard, served as a family physician. Her mother was the late Mary Gilchrist Tatum Blanchard.

In the 1930s and 1940s, many people did not have the means to pay for treatment. Sometimes patients would just pay with food instead, Blanchard said.

“I remember one person paid my father in syrup,” she said.

Blanchard graduated from Bishopville High School in 1945.

Police hand out stickers at local schools

STATE BRIEFS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Man charged with killing teen in robbery attempt CAMDEN — A South Carolina man is charged with manslaughter after authorities say he shot and killed a 17-year-old trying to steal from his parked truck.

Kershaw County Sheriff Jim Matthews said in a statement that the shooting happened early Saturday outside the Camden home of 49-yearold Jimmy Methe. He’s charged with voluntary manslaughter in the death of Brandon Scott Spencer of Camden.

Spencer was shot once in the head. Another person with Spencer fled.

Matthews says Methe is being charged because he didn’t face the threat of harm to himself or his family and Spencer appeared to be running away.

The sheriff says Methe had previously been robbed by thieves who broke into a vehicle. Matthews says the neighborhood had seen several vehicles and homes robbed in the past six months.

Lead Cpl. Christopher Merendino, above, back left, and Staff Sgt. Tony Rivers hand out Junior Police stickers at a local elementary school Friday. Several Sumter Police officers gave out stickers Friday at Kingsbury, Millwood and Alice Drive Elementary schools to celebrate Valentines Day. It’s important for children to learn early that police are there for everyone’s safety and that good behavior and getting an education can go a long way, said Tonyia McGirt, spokeswoman for the department. Besides Merendino and Rivers, visiting officers were Sgt. James Sinkler, Officer 1st Class Mikeal Jennings, Patrolman Michael Salka, Patrolwoman Gloria Prescott and Officer 1st Class Willie McFadden.

Myrtle Beach optimistic about this year’s Bikefest MYRTLE BEACH — Myrtle Beach officials say the low turnout at planning meetings for Memorial Day Bikefest may be a good thing.

The Sun News reports that Myrtle Beach police have been holding weekly meetings laying out Bikefest plans for area businesses. A group of about 10 people met last week, and Friday attendance was even lower.

City officials say the low turnout is good, because last year’s advance Bikefest meetings attracted concerned business owners and representatives.

DHEC director concerned about lack of TB funding

BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com While many South Carolinians worry about the Zika virus, it may be an outbreak of tuberculosis that is of more concern to epidemiologists in the Palmetto State.

When South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control Director Catherine Heigel testified about her agency budget before a House subcommittee on Jan. 27, she told the subcommittee that shortchanging some DHEC requests could end up being much more expensive than the original budget request.

She said that although she supports Gov. Nikki Haley’s executive budget request, funding for TB control would likely be among the items the department would have to cut under Haley’s proposal.

Any repeat of the 2013 out-

break in Greenwood County, when more than 100 people, including 53 students and 21 faculty members at the Ninety Six Primary School tested positive for TB, may be difficult to contain without proper funding, she warned.

Heigel said in 2013, health officials were able to tap into unused funds from inoculation programs.

“Greenwood beefed up monitoring in line with what the Centers for Disease Control recommends,” she said.

While DHEC sought no addition funding in 2013, tapping the inoculation programs is not an option today.

“The costs of vaccines have gone up,” she said. “That is not a sustainable model.”

She told the subcommittee that in 2015 there were 593 TB patients in the state, 489 latent infections and more than 1,200 people who had potential contact with the disease.

“If you fund immunizations and not TB, that is a clear directive not to put money in the TB (control) program,” she said.

Heigel said being able to closely monitor how TB patients follow their treatment protocol is crucial but difficult with many of them being transient and hard to track.

The antibiotic treatment for TB costs about $17,000 per patient, she said, but if the patient does not take the antibiotic correctly and the infection develops immunity to the vaccine, the alternative treatment costs an additional $130,000 per patient.

“We could really be in a mess if there is another TB outbreak,” she said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, tuberculosis is a disease caused by germs that are spread from person to person through the air. TB usually affects the

Symptoms include feeling sick or weak, weight loss, fever

and night sweats. Coughing, chest pain and the coughing up of blood are signs of the infection in the lungs. Symptoms of TB disease in other parts of the body depend on the area affected, the CDC said.

Weight loss isn’t the only reason to exercise

T

he number one resolution for 2016 is weight loss. One popular method to achieve weight loss is by beginning an exercise program.

While many will see some results quickly, over time the results will slow down if not come to a complete stop.

When this happens it’s easy to get discouraged and lose interest.

However, maintaining your exercise program is crucial, regardless of weight loss. Being inactive increases your risk for chronic diseases and shortens your life span.

According to the World Health Organization, physical inactivity is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. Despite the extensive evidence that promotes and supports physical activity, more than 50 percent of the population is not meeting the daily

recommendation of 30 minutes of daily physical activity. In fact, it is reported that teens and adults spend approximately 8 hours a day in sedentary behaviors.

Inactivity causes 9 Missy percent of premature Corrigan mortality worldwide accounting for more than 5 million deaths. It is estimated that physical inactivity alone causes 6 percent of heart disease, 7 percent of type 2 diabetes and 10 percent of breast and colon cancers contributing to more than $100 billion a year in U.S. health care costs.

Even without weight loss, exercise has shown to reduce mortality and the risk of recurrent breast cancer by ap-

proximately 50 percent, reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer-specific mortality in adults with higher levels of muscle strength.

Furthermore, exercise leads to higher academic performance in children and adults.

The benefits of physical activity are limitless yet less than 36 percent of Americans receive recommendations from their physicians to begin an exercise program. Being physically active can be as simple as going for a brisk walk.

For those who are using exercise as a means of weight loss, don’t give up if you aren’t seeing results. Your body was designed to move, and your health can improve without losing weight.

Just a few of the invaluable benefits

of exercise include reduced stress and anxiety, better sleep, improved mood, increased endurance and stamina, better balance and coordination, reduced appetite, stronger immune system, better heart health, increased metabolism, improved hormonal profile and an increase in bone density.

Weight loss alone does not have the same influence on the body as exercise does.

Weight loss may be your goal, but weighing less does not necessarily improve your quality of life or lengthen your life.

So the next time you think your exercise program isn’t working, remember all these positive benefits you are getting by being active. Choose to exercise for the health of it by finding an activity you enjoy and aim to be physically active every day.

Urbanization leads to change in type of bacteria in the home WASHINGTON (AP) — Whether it’s a jungle hut or a high-rise apartment, your home is covered in bacteria, and new research from the Amazon suggests city dwellers might want to open a window.

Scientists traveled from remote villages in Peru to a large Brazilian city to begin tracking the effects of urbanization on the diversity of bacteria in people’s homes. It’s a small first step in a larger quest — understanding how different environmental bugs help shape what’s called our microbiome, the trillions of bacteria that share our bodies and play a critical role in our health.

“Very little is known about the microbes of the built environment,” microbiologist Maria Gloria Dominguez-Bello of New York University, who led the pilot study, said at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Her team found that as people living in the Amazon rainforest become more urbanized, the kinds of bacteria in their homes change from the bugs mostly found in nature to those that typically live on people, she reported Friday.

In fact, in city dwellings, the researchers could tell just by the microbial fingerprints of the walls that “this is a kitchen or this is a bathroom or this is a living room. That’s amazing,” Dominguez-Bello said.

As she puts it, “the walls talk.”

Everyone carries a customized set of microbes on the skin, in the nose and in the gut, a microbial zoo that starts forming at birth and help with such things as digestion and immune development. What influences the balance of good bugs and bad varies depending on such things as your diet, if you were born vaginally or by C-section and antibiotics.

Environmental exposures play a role, too. The hygiene hypothesis, for example, suggests asthma and allergies are on the rise in Western populations because of a lack of early contact with once-common bugs, one reason why tots who grow up on farms or around animals tend to have

fewer of those immune-related ailments.

Increasingly, scientists also are investigating where we spend a lot of time — indoor spaces, especially our homes.

To track the effects of urbanization, Dominguez-Bello’s team analyzed the microbial communities of 10 houses and their inhabitants from each of three Peruvian locations — a village of hunter-gatherers, a slightly more modern rural village and Iquitos, a mediumsized city not accessible by roads — and the contemporary Brazilian city of Manaus.

Housing styles help tell the story, said study co-author Humberto Cavallin, an archi-

tect at University of Puerto Rico. Large families shared open-air jungle huts with no

external walls; homes in the rural villages had walls but room dividers didn’t reach the

roof; city homes were larger with standard rooms and smaller families.

Despite fewer occupants, the more urbanized a dwelling, the more human bacteria lived on its walls and floors, the researchers reported in the journal Science Advances.

In Manaus, a collection of microbes normally found in the mouth, including various species of strep bacteria, and in the gut were the most important in telling rooms apart.

The more crowded jungle and rural homes nonetheless were filled with more bacteria commonly found in soil and water than with human microbes.

How impoverished, isolated North Korea earns money SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The closure of a factory park in North Korea jointly run by both Koreas has cost the impoverished North a rare source of legitimate hard currency. Seoul says it shut the Kaesong complex in response to the North’s recent longrange rocket launch to keep its impoverished neighbor from using the money factories provided to fund its nuclear and missile programs.

With that hit to Pyongyang’s already shaky finances gone, at least for now, here’s a look at the North’s economy and the external sources of income it maintains despite a raft of heavy international sanctions on its nuclear and ballistic missiles program.

Seoul and Washington want more stringent trade and financial sanctions to punish the North’s nuclear and missile adventures, but some question whether sanctions will ever meaningfully influence one of the least trade-dependent economies on the planet.

And what of that economy?

It is extremely difficult to read because it doesn’t release official trade statistics and treasures its secrecy.

South Korea’s central bank, however, provides some idea of what’s happening, based on data it receives every year from other government agencies, related organizations and an investigation of research organizations.

The bank has been publishing estimates of North Korea’s economy since 1991. In its latest report, it said it thinks the North’s economy grew by 1 percent in 2014 to 33.95 trillion South Korean won, or $28.5 billion, or about 2 percent of South Korea’s economy.

The Bank of Korea said North Korea’s combined imports and exports that year were about $9.9 billion, including $2.4 billion in trade with the South, which the Unification Ministry says was generated nearly entirely from the activities at Kaesong.

And then there’s China, Pyongyang’s last major ally, its diplomatic protector and by far its largest trading partner.

North Korea’s main exports to China include coal, minerals, clothing, textiles and foodstuffs, while its imports from China include petroleum, steel, machinery, cars and electronics, according to South Korea’s governmentfunded Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency.

Beijing, however, is unlikely to support harsh punishment for the nuclear test and rocket launch for fear of provoking a government collapse in Pyongyang and a potential stream of refugees across its border.

Transactions with China accounted for more than 74 per-

The South’s Unification Ministry says the Kaesong park provided 616 billion won ($560

million) of cash to the North since its establishment in 2004, during an era of rapprochement between the rivals.

More than 120 South Korean companies employed about 54,000 North Koreans at Kaesong, paying each about $150 a month to manufacture products such as clothing, wristwatches, cosmetics and electronics components.

Syrian troops capture village near northern city of Aleppo BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian government forces on Saturday captured another village near Aleppo, tightening the noose around rebel-held parts of the northern city, Syrian state TV and an opposition activist group said.

The ground attack in Aleppo province sparked artillery shelling by Turkish troops at Kurdish positions as Ankara appears to be worried that Syrian Kurdish fighters and Syrian government forces might reach the northern town of Azaz that is home to a major border crossing point that has been controlled by militants since 2012.

Syrian state TV reported late Saturday night that Turkish troops fired five shells at the mountains of the coastal province of Latakia that recently witnessed intense clashes between government forces and Turkish-backed gunmen.

State TV and the Britain-based Syrian Observa-

tory for Human Rights said troops captured Tamoura on Saturday around noon, amid intense shelling and air raids by Russian warplanes.

Syrian troops have been advancing under cover of Russian airstrikes with the aim of besieging rebel-held parts of Aleppo, Syria’s largest city. If they are able to do so, it will be the biggest defeat for insurgents since the conflict began in March 2011.

After capturing Tamoura, the troops still have to take several more villages and towns, including Hayan, Anadan, Hreitan and Kfar Hamra, in order to completely encircle the Aleppo rebels.

Hezbollah-run AlManar TV said troops are now overlooking the town of Hayan and parts of Anadan. The Lebanese militant group is fighting alongside forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Kasich works to assure S.C. of conservative record NORTH MYRTLE BEACH (AP) — An energized John Kasich heads into South Carolina’s Republican presidential primary hoping to build on a strong showing in New Hampshire, but he’s refusing to tailor or shift his message to fit the state’s more conservative electorate.

“People told me: ‘They’re really conservative down there,’” Kasich joked to a crowd Wednesday in Mount Pleasant, his first campaign stop in the state since a debate in mid-January. “And I’m like, ‘wait a minute, people are people — we all have the same concerns.’”

Kasich is making a threeday swing through the state with stops along the coast and in several population centers, making sure to hit the state’s more moderate corners along the way.

In town hall meetings packed to the brim with supporters or curious voters, Kasich is making the case for a brand of conservatism that leaves no one behind. And he’s defending himself as attacks against his conservative credentials start flying, chiefly on his decision to expand

Medicaid in Ohio despite resistance from his GOP-led Legislature.

Gov. Kasich is a good guy, and he’s been a good governor, Jeb Bush said at a campaign stop Thursday in Columbia. “But my record as a conservative reformer far exceeds his, and that’s not attacking, that’s not negative, that’s what you call comparing and contrasting.”

Bush said Florida taxpayers “are appreciative” of the decision not to undertake expansion efforts, while Kasich “led the charge in Ohio to expand Medicaid. … He can defend

that all he wants, but that’s the difference.”

It’s an accusation Kasich may hear again as the Republican campaign shifts to the South for the next month.

From the Carolinas west to Oklahoma and Texas, none of the GOP-run states has embraced Medicaid expansion, and several of Kasich’s Southern counterpart governors have been openly hostile to President Obama’s health care law, calling it a federal overreach — and worse.

But Kasich isn’t backing down, arguing his decision has helped people suffering from mental illnesses or drug addiction and is a good deal for the state in the long run. As of December, roughly 650,000 Ohioans had enrolled under the expansion, and according to the

Haley, won easy re-election in 2014 on her staunch rejection of Medicaid expansion and refusal to run a state-based exchange to sell private insurance policies, the other pillar of Obama’s health care law.

“It’s safe to say a majority of South Carolina Republicans are opposed to Medicaid expansion,” explained state Rep. Murrell Smith, R-Sumter, whose legislative committee handles health care policy.

“It can be viewed as expanding government, which to put it mildly is just not very popular in South Carolina.”

There’s also the matter of the “Obamacare” law’s namesake. Haley, who often called the law “wrongheaded” and “unconstitutional,” mentioned the president often in her blistering critiques.

state, Ohio’s total Medicaid spending was nearly $2 billion below estimates for the fiscal year that ended in June — despite more newly eligible enrollees than projected.

His defense of Medicaid expansion dovetails with a key theme of his campaign: the idea that helping society’s most vulnerable is a central piece of what it means to be conservative.

“It makes total sense to have a package that can make sure everybody has a chance to rise, and I think the public loves it,” Kasich told reporters Wednesday. “Somebody wants to hit me on it or hammer me on it, God bless them — I’m not going to back off this.”

Still, that may be tough to sell in South Carolina and beyond. The governor here, Nikki

Debate takeaways: Clinton, Sanders appeal to S.C., Nevada

NEVADA AND SOUTH CAROLINA The debate was held in Wisconsin, but messages from both candidates throughout the debate were clearly aimed at minority voters in Nevada and South Carolina — the next two states on the primary calendar.

Clinton and Sanders tangled about immigration reform, an issue closely watched by the large Latino community in Nevada, and discussed ways of addressing institutional racism, an issue of interest to black voters, who make up more than half of the Democratic electorate in South Carolina.

Said Sanders, “What would motivate me and what would be the guiding light for me in terms of immigration reform ... is to bring families together, not divide them up.”

Added Clinton, “The first speech I gave in this campaign back in April was about criminal justice reform and ending the era of mass incarceration.”

STICKING WITH OBAMA Throughout the debate, Clinton sought to align herself with Obama, from his signature health care law to his record on race relations. On the latter subject, she said, “I think what President Obama did is to exemplify the importance of this issue as the first African-American president.”

When Sanders challenged Clinton on her acceptance of campaign contributions from Wall Street, Clinton used Obama as a shield, noting that he had received a large amount of campaign cash from the financial sector but still pushed for the DoddFrank financial regulatory overhaul bill, passed in 2010.

“When it mattered, he stood up and took on Wall Street,” Clinton said of Obama, adding, “So, let’s not in any way imply here that either President Obama or myself would in any way not take on any vested interest, whether it’s Wall Street or drug companies or insurance companies or frankly, the gun lobby, to stand up to do what’s best for the American people.”

Obama remains popular with rankand-file Democrats, including black voters in South Carolina. Later in the debate, Clinton struck out at Sanders for saying in a recent interview that Obama had failed the “presidential leadership test.”

“I understand what President Obama inherited,” Clinton said. “I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves.”

Sanders called it a “low blow,” and began his closing statement with this rebuttal: “One of us ran against Barack Obama. I was not that candidate.”

ARGUING OVER HEALTH CARE Clinton took an aggressive stance on health care from the outset, arguing that Sanders’ plan to create a universal health care system by expanding Medicare would undermine Obama’s Affordable Care Act. She argued repeatedly that Sanders had failed to provide a specific way to pay for his plan and turned the exchange into an overall critique of the Vermont senator’s proposals.

“In my case, whether it’s health care or getting us to debt-free tuition or moving us toward paid family leave, I

MILWAUKEE (AP) — In the first Democratic presidential debate since Bernie Sanders’ sweeping victory in New Hampshire’s primary, the Vermont senator sought to build upon success and introduce himself to voters who may be open to an alternative to Iowa winner Hillary Clinton.

The former secretary of state, meanwhile, tried Thursday night to assure Democrats worried about her ability to help the party hold onto the White House that she is still the best choice to succeed President Obama.

Here are some takeaways from the debate in Milwaukee:

Sanders countered that Clinton was not being accurate, casting the fight for universal health care as a matter of courage. He said he was the candidate willing to take on drug companies, the insurance industry and medical equipment suppliers who might be opposed to an overhaul.

When Clinton tried to distinguish herself by saying she’ll have the political capital to pass her plans “once I’m in the White House,” Sanders shot back, “Secretary Clinton, you’re not in the White House yet.”

REACHING OUT TO BLACK VOTERS Black voters will be critical in South Carolina and in several Southern state that follow, including Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas. Both candidates made specific appeals to black voters who

could play a pivotal role in determining the outcome of the race.

Sanders called the large number of black males in prison “one of the great tragedies in our country today.”

“And we can no longer continue to sweep it under the rug,” Sanders said.

“It has to be dealt with. ... A male African-American baby born today stands a one-in-four chance of ending up in jail. That is beyond unspeakable.”

Clinton tried to expand the issue beyond criminal justice, saying there was “systemic racism” in education and employment.

“So, when we talk about criminal justice reform, and ending the era of mass incarceration, we also have to talk about jobs, education, housing and other ways of helping communities,” she said.

When asked by the debate’s moderators, Clinton also pointed to the needs of beleaguered white workers, including those living in coal country.

“I’m going to do everything I can to address distressed communities, whether they are communities of color, whether they are white communities, whether they are in any part of our country,” she said.

A KISSINGER FLASH BACK In the debate’s second half, Sanders tried to impugn Clinton’s judgment on foreign policy by pointing out that she had boasted of winning the praise of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who served during the administration of President Richard Nixon.

Sanders called Kissinger “one of the most destructive secretaries of state in the history of this country” and blasted the 92-year-old Kissinger’s role in U.S. policy toward Cambodia decades ago.

When Clinton tried to turn the tables, pointing out that Sanders hasn’t provided details on where he is getting foreign policy advice, Sanders quipped, “Well, it ain’t Henry Kissinger.”

SCALIA FROM PAGE A1 the method of constitutional interpretation that looks to the meaning of words and concepts as they were understood by the Founding Fathers.

Scalia’s effect on the court was muted by his seeming disregard for moderating his views to help build consensus, although he was held in deep affection by his ideological opposites Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan. Scalia and Ginsburg shared a love of opera. He persuaded Kagan to join him on hunting trips.

His 2008 opinion for the court in favor of gun rights drew heavily on the history of the Second Amendment and was his crowning moment on the bench.

He could be a strong supporter of privacy in cases involving police searches and defendants’ rights. Indeed, Scalia often said he should be the “poster child” for the criminal defense bar.

But he also voted consistently to let states outlaw abortions, to allow a

closer relationship between government and religion, to permit executions and to limit lawsuits.

He was in the court’s majority in the 2000 Bush v. Gore decision, which effectively decided the presidential election for Republican George W. Bush.

“Get over it,” Scalia would famously say at speaking engagements in the ensuing years whenever the topic arose.

Bush later named one of Scalia’s sons, Eugene, to an administration job, but the Senate refused to confirm him. Eugene Scalia served as the Labor Department solicitor temporarily in a recess appointment.

A smoker of cigarettes and pipes, Scalia enjoyed baseball, poker, hunting and the piano. He was an enthusiastic singer at court Christmas parties and other musical gatherings and once appeared on stage with Ginsburg as a Washington Opera extra.

Ginsburg once said that Scalia was “an absolutely charming man, and he can make even the most sober judge laugh.” She said that she urged her friend to tone down his dissenting

THE SUMTER ITEM

opinions “because he’ll be more effective if he is not so polemical. I’m not always successful.”

He could be unsparing even with his allies. In 2007, Scalia sided with Chief Justice John Roberts in a decision that gave corporations and labor unions wide latitude to air political ads close to elections. Yet Scalia was upset that the new chief justice’s opinion did not explicitly overturn an earlier decision.

“This faux judicial restraint is judicial obfuscation,” Scalia said.

Quick-witted and loquacious, Scalia was among the most persistent, frequent and quotable interrogators of the lawyers who appeared before the court. During Scalia’s first argument session as a court member, Justice Lewis F. Powell leaned over and asked a colleague, “Do you think he knows that the rest of us are here?”

Scalia’s writing seemed irrepressible and entertaining much of the time. But it also could be confrontational. It was a mocking Scalia who in 1993 criticized a decades-old test used by the court to decide whether laws or government policies violated the con-

stitutionally required separation of church and state.

“Like some ghoul in a late-night horror movie that repeatedly sits up in its grave and shuffles abroad, after being repeatedly killed and buried, (the test) stalks our ... jurisprudence once again, frightening the little children and school attorneys,” he wrote.

Scalia showed a deep commitment to originalism, which he later began calling textualism. Judges had a duty to give the same meaning to the Constitution and laws as they had when they were written. Otherwise, he said disparagingly, judges could decide that “the Constitution means exactly what I think it ought to mean.”

A challenge to a Washington, D.C., gun ban gave Scalia the opportunity to display his devotion to textualism. In a 5-4 decision that split the court’s conservatives and liberals, Scalia wrote that an examination of English and colonial history made it exceedingly clear that the Second Amendment protected Americans’ right to have guns, at the very least in their homes and for self-defense.

BLANCHARD FROM PAGE A1 The last name “Blanchard” was well-known across the nation in the 1940s. Blanchard’s brother, the late Felix Anthony “Doc” Blanchard, was a college football star for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He became the first ever junior to win the Heisman Trophy in 1945.

That same year, he also won the Maxwell Award and was the first ever football player to win the Amateur Athletic Union James E. Sullivan Award. The award is presented annually to “the outstanding amateur athlete in the United States.”

After graduating from college, Blanchard served as a pilot in the U.S. Air Force from 1947 until 1971, when he retired with the rank of colonel.

Blanchard had just begun her studies at Winthrop College (today Winthrop University) at age 16, when Japan surrendered to the United States, on Sept. 2, 1945, officially ending World War II. She said that she knew right from the start that she would want to major in pre-med.

“I had always leaned toward medicine,” she said. “Growing up, I would spend time at my father’s office and sometimes go on calls with him.”

After completing college in 1948, Blanchard enrolled in Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.

She was one of only two women in a class of 60 students. Most of the men were World War II veterans, she said.

“They all treated me very kindly and acted as gentlemen,” she said.

After graduating from medical school, Blanchard accepted a residen-

“I chose obstetrics and gynecology because it’s usually a happy specialty,” she said.

In 1956, Blanchard moved back home to South Carolina and went into practice with Dr. Robert Bultman. She would later practice with Dr. J.J. Brit-

ton and Dr. Doc Harvin at Sumter OBGYN, P.A. and others.

Blanchard said that back in those days, doctors would have their private practice, but would also do “charity” work at Tuomey Hospital (today Palmetto Health Tuomey).

FROM PAGE A1 who was also active in the early civil rights movement and is now a South Carolina resident.

He regularly attends First Missionary Baptist and was instrumental in arranging Vivian’s appearance, church member and spokesman Rick Jones said.

Also expected to participate in the 90-minute program are Sumter Mayor Joseph T. McElveen, former Pastor William S. Randolph, Sumter NAACP President Elizabeth Kilgore and Lemuel Washington of Sumter Concerned Clergy.

Jones said Vivian’s talk “will take us from the origins and history of the movement, making it relevant for today.”

One of the civil rights movement’s most respected and revered figures, Vivian participated in his first protest in 1947. The action resulted in the desegregation of Peoria, Illinois,’ lunch counters.

He soon began preaching and moved to Nashville, where he became involved with activists Diane Nash and (now Congressman) John Lewis, taking part in the Freedom Rides. Participation in protests led to his imprisonment and beatings, many from law enforcement officers, famously including Sheriff Jim Clark in Selma, Alabama, in 1965. During the confrontation at the Selma

courthouse when Clark blocked civil rights activists’ attempts to register to vote, Vivian, beaten and bleeding, confronted Clark, telling him, “If we’re wrong, why don’t you arrest us?”

Named director of Southern Christian Leadership Conference affiliates by Martin Luther King Jr. in 1963, Vivian also founded and directed several other civil rights groups, among them Vision, the National AntiKlan Network, the Center of Democratic Renewal and Black Action Strategies and Information Center.

Vivian has advised many heads of state and the United Nations, and he was also consulted by Presidents Johnson, Carter, Reagan, Clinton and Obama.

He is featured throughout PBS’s acclaimed documentary “Eyes On The Prize” (1987 and 2006), and the network later produced a full-length presentation, “The Healing Ministry of the Rev. Dr. C.T. Vivian.”

He is also featured as both an activist and analyst in the series, “The People’s Century

would end up treating them for free,” she said.

Blanchard said that during her 30 years in the field, she helped deliver hundreds of people over several generations, including Sen. Thomas McElveen, D-Sumter.

In 1986, she made the decision to retire.

“I was running an office and practice, a house and lake house and decided that there were some things that I still wanted to do,” she said.

Blanchard said in the last 30 years of her retirement, she has spent much of her time doing various activities such as traveling and participating in local organizations, which she enjoys.

Blanchard has served as past-president of the South Carolina OB-GYN Society, Sumter County Medical Society, Sumter Mental Health Association, Sumter Pilot Club and Sumter Art Association. She has also served as chairwoman of MUSC’s Alumni Association, and she is a member of the Thursday Afternoon Book Club.

Blanchard has been a supporter of many organizations, including the Sumter County Gallery of Art, pastsupporter of Sumter Shaw Community Council, supporter of Sumter Little Theater and Bishopville Opera House.

In January, the Sumter Family YMCA named Blanchard as the 2015 Humanitarian of the Year at the organization’s annual “Mission in Action” event at Sunset Country Club.

“The Lord has blessed me with a good life, great parents and brother, family and friends,” she said. “I enjoyed every day I practiced medicine and am also thankful for the opportunities I’ve had to travel and be a part of the community.”

The Rev. C.T. Vivian, right, civil rights pioneer and activist and a close friend and lieutenant of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., left, is shown discussing strategy with King in the 1960s.

(PBS/WGBH, 1998)” and in the Tom Brokaw documentary “King” (History Channel, 2008).

Vivian now serves as Dean of The Urban Institute at The Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta.

During the years, Vivian has received many honors and awards. When President Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013, his speech included the words: “A Baptist minister, C.T. Vivian was one of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s closest advisers. Martin taught us, he says, that it’s in the action that we find out who we really are. Time and again, Rev.

Vivian was one of the first to be in the action — one of the first freedom riders. ... Rosa Parks said of him, even after things had supposedly been taken care of, and we had our rights, he was still out there, inspiring the next generation — including me — helping kids go to college with programs that would become Upward Bound. And at 89 years old, Rev. Vivian is still out there, still in the action, pushing us closer to our founding ideas.”

COMMENTARY

Celebrate our remarkable presidency O

n the third Monday in February, we honor George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and other great American presidents on the holiday most of us have come to call Presidents’ Day. It’s a great day to reflect, not simply on those great men who have held the office, but on the greatness of the office itself.

At the center of this greatness is the presidenDamien K. cy’s remarkPicariello able combination of monumental power and severe limitation. As Alexander Hamilton put it, our presidency combines “all the requisites to energy” with “the requisites to safety, in a republican sense.” The presidency is imbued with the great power needed to carry out its formidable duties, but it is also constrained, protecting the liberties of the people and preserving the integrity of our constitutional system.

More than any other person, the American president represents, and speaks for, the United States — the great political scientist Clinton Rossiter called him “the oneman distillation of the American people” — and yet his

words are often subject to withering criticism, and his actions often face crippling opposition. Many of us consider the president the most powerful person in our country (perhaps in the world) and yet we see on a daily basis that he is often unable to get what he wants. Former President Jimmy Carter summed up the job in his farewell address: “This is at once the most powerful office in the world — and among the most severely constrained by law and custom.”

The president exercises tremendous power — and is tremendously limited in the exercise of this power.

In the midst of this hotly contested presidential campaign season, we should take time this holiday to appreciate the remarkable nature of our presidency. The next president will occupy an office the “energy” of which, in Hamilton’s words, extends “as far as republican principles will admit,” and no further. He — or she — will be armed with all of the power needed to accomplish the imposing array of tasks we set before our president, and will be bound by the equally imposing array of constraints under which “republican principles” require our presidents to labor.

Damien K. Picariello is Assistant Professor of Political Science at USC Sumter.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR WRITER DISAGREES THAT SOCIALIST FEDERAL PROGRAMS ARE POPULAR AMONG AMERICANS I see my good bud from Sumter/N.Y. City is still reading my letters to the editor. Thank you so much for responding today, Feb 10. You said, “thanks for educating us again.”

I want to thank you for doing the same. Debating these issues is important.

You haven’t answered my request for the price of Obama’s Christmas vacation to Hawaii for 2015. It’s been over a month since he returned to the White House.

You didn’t forget, did you?

It’s OK to admit you don’t care if he spends nearly $8 million.

I agree “that socialism has been an integral part of our country for a long time.” I don’t agree that “apparently we like it very much.” Those who benefit from others would “like it” however.

There’s no doubt that “socialism” was around before Nikita Khrushchev. A good reason to have “limited government!”

Your paragraph that starts with “Are not public schools…” was partly correct. We need to get the federal government out of most of your list and give it back to the states. The feds should not be able to blackmail states by demanding states

go along with their wishes or they won’t receive federal money and will get fined.

Good reason to have “fiscal responsibility!”

I’m glad that you didn’t include “the military” in your list because the reason we have a Commander in Chief is to keep our country safe. Good reason for the “adherence to the Constitution!”

Social Security checks are owed to people who played by the rules and paid into Social Security. I do agree that some changes are needed. If someone doesn’t pay taxes why should they get the benefits? People should be able to use what they paid into, any way they want to. Are you confused about welfare?

Do you know of someone who thinks that “Black River” is a form of “socialism?” The customers benefit from any profits made but not others. I think that “Black River” would be defined as “capitalism,” not “socialism.”

Thank you for making a good case for “limited government, fiscal responsibility and adherence to the Constitution,” or the TEA Party.

COMMENTARY

John Kasich the clear choice for president T he first presidential political bumper sticker I’ve ever put on my car is a “Kasich” sticker. I realize I have lost my journalistic credibility early in this election cycle, but I don’t care.

I did it this week after seeing the Ohio governor in person at the Applewood House of Pancakes in Litchfield Beach here on the beautiful coast of South Carolina.

Graham I’m 54 Osteen years old and have shaken hands with or been in the same room with Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2 and Obama. That list includes about everyone in both parties who ran against them for the presidency in the process.

I’ve seen a lot of national politicians come and go, and here’s why: I was raised in a newspaper family and grew up attending the American Society of Newspaper Editors in Washington. Politicians were always there.

As skeptical as I am about politicians in general, I’m also more optimistic than ever about the potential greatness of the United States of America if we get it right.

We’re poised and ready for major changes at the top, but it’s absolutely not Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton who should be next.

None of them.

Gov. Kasich knows what needs to be done and can articulate it. Government can be fixed, but it will take a true reformer like him to lead. We as Americans can do better as human beings, but it will take a unifying, inspirational leader to remind us how.

Imagine a man like Trump warmly embracing and actually listening to a South Carolina woman concerned about the future of health care coverage because she has none. She gets up at 4:30 in the morning, goes to work as a waitress to support her kids, can’t even begin to pay her bills and is now dealing with cancer. I saw Gov. Ka-

He concluded by reminding everyone in the room that we’re all Americans first, and have responsibilities far beyond ourselves on a daily basis. We need to operate in the light, check on the lonely, talk to young people honestly and reach out to others in small ways. It was inspirational to everyone in attendance.

Ask Trump or Cruz to explain how to deal with the economy, the Middle East or the latest North Korean crisis and you’ll get nothing but vulgar, provocative, political language.

Ask Kasich about it and you’ll get clear answers that make sense because he has deep, proven experience.

He’s a natural, knowledgeable and confident politician because he believes in what he’s saying and actually knows what he’s talking about. He also has a great sense of humor.

Hillary Clinton will never be able to explain away all that’s still happening in her complicated, shadowy political life because the corruption and financial opportunism runs deeper than anyone could possibly comprehend. She and President Clinton have had their time, and it has now passed.

Young people infatuated with 74-year-old socialist Bernie Sanders need to un-

derstand what’s possible for America, and not be discouraged by the divisiveness they’ve seen in the past eight years. They’re too young to give up on this country.

As Kasich says, Sanders should be named CEO of Ben and Jerry’s so everyone can see what happens when he gives away ice cream for a couple of years.

Gov. Kasich spoke to the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce this week, and I encourage you to watch all 52 unedited minutes of it.

It’s worth your time whether you’re a Republican, Democrat, Independent or maybe even think you want to be a socialist.

Consider carefully what a real presidential candidate looks and sounds like because the TV commercials and sound bites we’re being bombarded with are deceptive and absurd.

Someone asked him what they could do to help him get his positive message out.

He said tell your friends about me if you like me. If not, keep your mouth shut.

Citadel prevails, Fire Ants gain D-1 experience at PTC tourney

BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS justin@theitem.com University of South Carolina Sumter tennis head coach Sam Kiser was pleased to see The Citadel head coach and longtime friend Chuck Kriese on Saturday.

“We’ve been really close for years,” Kiser said of the renowned former Clemson head coach. “We’ve been out recruiting together and we have a partnership with them, so we’ll always play the Citadel.

The two friends met as opposing coaches on Day 2 of the USC Sumter Spring Invitational at Palmetto Tennis Center, with Kriese’s Bulldogs coming away with the 9-0 victory.

For the junior college Fire

GREENVILLE — Clemson coach Brad Brownell is glad his defense finally stepped up and won a game as the Tigers try to get back in the conversation for an NCAA Tournament bid.

Clemson held Georgia Tech to 34.5 percent shooting, lowest by one of its Atlantic Coast Conference opponents this season, and had a season-best 10 steals in a blossomgame 66-52 win over Georgia Tech on Saturday.

Jaron Blossomgame scored 17 points for the Tigers (15-10, 8-5 ACC), but the junior said he knows this game was won on the other end.

“Coach Brownell told us at halftime we needed something from our defense to win this game,” Blossomgame said.

Clemson led 48-46 in a ragged, foul-marred game before Avry Holmes got a steal and a layup with just under eight minutes to go, and on the next possession, Sidy Djitte stole the ball again and Donte Grantham tipped in a missed layup to put the Tigers up six.

The Yellow Jackets (13-12, 3-9) missed their next 10 shots and couldn’t get closer than five the rest of the way as Clemson’s 18-6 run put the game away.

Saturday’s game started Clemson’s finishing stretch of five of six games against the bottom four in the ACC as the Tigers try to get back on the NCAA Tournament bubble with a resume that includes nonconference losses against 6-18 Minnesota and 10-13 Massachusetts. The Tigers also get No. 7 Virginia at home.

Holmes had six of Clemson’s 10 steals. Jordan Roper added 15 points and Gabe Devoe nine rebounds for the Tigers.

Charles Mitchell scored 11 points and had a career-high 19 rebounds for the Yellow Jackets.

But Mitchell was about the only highlight inside for Georgia Tech. Clemson got 40 points in the paint to 20 for the Yellow Jackets, and the Tigers led 21-10 on second-chance points.

This year’s Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame finalists features a star-studded field that includes Shaquille O’Neal, left, Allen Iverson, right, and possibly Yao Ming.

Shaq, Iverson finalists in Hall of Fame voting TORONTO — Shaquille O’Neal was just 9 years old when his stepfather began teaching him basketball with a plan to dominate like Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Young Shaquille didn’t even know who they were.

Now he’s on the verge of joining them in basketball immortality.

“He told me this day would happen and I never believed him,” O’Neal said of Phillip Harrison, who raised Shaq along with his mother and died in 2013.

O’Neal was chosen Friday as a finalist for induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, joining Allen Iverson to highlight the potential class.

Yao Ming could accompany them in Springfield, Massachusetts in September, though he was nominated by the Hall’s International Committee and wasn’t subject to the step O’Neal and Iverson had to clear Friday.

Former Phoenix Suns point guard Kevin Johnson, college coaches Tom Izzo, Bo Ryan, Lefty Driesell, Eddie Sutton and Muffet McGraw; women’s superstar Sheryl Swoopes, longtime referee Darrel Garretson, high school coaches Leta Andrews and Robert Hughes, 10-time AAU national champion Wayland Baptist University, and John McClendon, the first African-American coach in a professional league, were also chosen as

finalists by the North American or Women’s Committees.

Mickelson takes the lead at Pebble Beach PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Phil Mickelson handled a strong ocean breeze and firm greens for a 6-under 66 on Saturday to take the lead going into the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. It’s the first time Mickelson has had the 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour since the 2013 U.S. Open, and he hasn’t won since the 2013 British Open at Muirfield.

He will be going for a record-tying fifth victory in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Hiroshi Iwata of Japan was two strokes back after a 69 at Monterey Peninsula, which had the highest scoring average Saturday because of the wind.

Mickelson was at 16-under 199.

Jordan Spieth had to get up-and-down for par on the 18th hole at Pebble Beach for a 74 to make the cut on the number.

Bernhard Langer opens 7-stroke lead in Chubb NAPLES, Fla. — Bernhard Langer followed his opening 10-under 62 with a 66 on Saturday to increase his lead to seven strokes in the PGA Tour Champions’ Chubb Classic at TwinEagles.

The 58-year-old German star’s lead is the largest in the event after 36 holes. At 16-under 128, he’s closing in

on the tournament-record 20-under total that he set in 2011 and Kenny Perry matched in 2012.

Langer won the event in 2011 and 2013.

Langer eagled the par-5 fifth and added birdies on Nos. 5, 6, 16 and 17.

Perry and Scott Dunlap were tied for second. Perry had a 67, and Dunlap shot 66.

Only a bogey on No. 7 stopped Dunlap’s birdie run from Nos. 3-8. He also birdied Nos. 16 and 17.

Perry had three birdies and a bogey from Nos. 14-17.

Hamlin wins opening race for 3rd time DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Denny Hamlin has given Joe Gibbs Racing yet another victory to open Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway.

Hamlin won exhibition Sprint Unlimited on Saturday night for the third time in his career. JGR drivers have won this short sprint for three consecutive years and four of the last five.

Hamlin overcame early damage to his Toyota to score his first victory with new crew chief Mike Wheeler, who was a longtime engineer for the No. 11 team before his promotion.

Winning this exhibition race doesn’t always translate into Daytona 500 success. The last driver to win the opening race and the 500 was Dale Jarrett in 2000.

LMA boys grab share of region while WH girls earn No. 2 seed

BY EDDIE LITAKER Special To The Sumter Item MANNING - Wilson Hall’s varsity boys basketball team was awarded the top seed in SCISA Region II-3A on Friday, but they didn’t get it in the manner that they had hoped.

Laurence Manning Academy made sure of that.

The Swampcats earned a 51-45 victory over the Barons at Bubba Davis Gymnasium.

With WH and LMA holding identical 7-1 records in region play, the Barons won the coin toss and the No. 1 seed heading into the region tournament.

“We lost the opportunity to win the conference outright,” said Wilson Hall head coach Eddie Talley, whose team closed out the regular season with a 13-9 record. “We’ve still got our goals in front of us.

We’ll just have to do it a harder way now. Laurence Manning played much better tonight and you can’t take anything away from them.”

Region tournament played opened Saturday morning with play-in games at Thomas Sumter Academy. Wilson Hall’s first action will be on Monday at 8 p.m. as play moves to the Sumter Civic Center. The Barons take on the winner of Saturday’s playin between Thomas Sumter and Orangeburg Prep while LMA plays at 5 p.m. on Monday against Calhoun Academy.

LMA head coach Will Epps said not getting the top seed should not deter his team as it enters postseason with a 15-9 overall record.

“It’s just like the state playoffs, everybody worries about seedings,” Epps said. “You’ve got to beat good teams if you want to advance. The only thing is we have to play earlier.

That’s the only disadvantage.”

The Swampcats took charge early, jumping to a 13-3 lead before Wilson Hall cut it to six, 13-7, by the end of the quarter. Wilson Hall pulled within four on two occasions in the second but still trailed by nine, 25-16, heading to the locker room.

After being held scoreless in the first half, Brent Carraway came out firing in the third quarter, scoring Wilson Hall’s first nine points. A Drew Talley jumper from the right side cut the Swampcats lead to two, 31-29, before LMA stretched it back out to seven, 38-31, as Jerrell Kelly closed the quarter with a follow for two.

The fourth quarter was full of drama as the Barons pulled within one on two occasions but were never able to over-

“I thought we played better in the second half,” coach Talley said. “I thought Laurence Manning maybe outhustled us little bit tonight, and they hurt us on the boards. We didn’t do a very good job blocking out at all. (LMA) shot the ball pretty well and when they missed they got the rebound, so it makes it tough when you’re behind to come back. I thought we really put ourselves in a hole in the first half but we came back and cut it to one a few times in the second half and just couldn’t get over the hump.”

Freshman Nazir Andino, who led the Swampcats with 12 points, helped to keep the Barons at bay by scoring nine in the fourth quarter. Shakeel Robinson added 10 for LMA while the trio of Carraway, Drew Talley and Sam Watford each had 12 for Wilson Hall.

“It was a great team effort by us tonight,” Epps said. “We had very balanced scoring, ev-

Wilson Hall’s girls secured the No. 2 seed, behind topseed Thomas Sumter Academy, with a 53-36 win over the Lady ‘Cats. With the win, Wilson Hall advanced to 15-8 overall and 6-2 in the region.

The Lady Barons will face No. 3 seed Orangeburg Prep on Monday at 3:30 at the Sumter Civic Center.

The game was tight until the fourth quarter, with LMA trailing 17-5 after one quarter before pulling within four in the second quarter and as close as six in the third quarter.

“We have tried to up our level of intensity in the last several weeks and tonight it showed, because the girls together as a team really played defense the way that we’ve been working on it a lot,” said Lady Barons head coach Glen Rector. “So I’m extremely

pleased with the progress they’re making defensively, because their defense is what has won the games for them.”

Mary Margaret Munn scored 12 to top the Lady Barons while Courtney Beatson’s 16 paced the Lady ‘Cats.

LMA was scheduled to meet Calhoun Academy in one of Saturday’s play-in games, with the winner of that game to challenge the top-seeded Lady Generals on Monday.

Kobe Bryant lines up a shot Saturday during practice for the NBA All-Star Game in Toronto. Bryant plans to retire at the end of the season.

week for his own trophy case. “Not only for myself, but for the fans here and for all of Kobe’s fans.”

And Bryant’s career-best 81-point game against the Raptors might be a sore subject in Toronto, but it still stands out to Curry as the quintessential Kobe moment.

“I’ve been hot before and made every shot I threw up there and got on a little streak in a game,” said Curry, the game’s premier sharpshooter. “But to score 81 points, so many things have to go right and the situation has to be just perfect for it and you have to have a special talent level like Kobe to do it.

“Just watching the game, it still doesn’t make sense. How did he do it?”

Bryant made the decision early this season that he would retire, then announced it weeks ago not because he wanted a farewell tour — he originally wasn’t keen on that idea, though has been moved by the tributes that have come as he’s visited NBA cities as an opponent for the last time — but because he wanted to start the process of moving on for both himself and the Lakers.

As far as All-Star selections, only Kareem AbdulJabbar has more than Bryant’s 18.

“I know it will kind of be bittersweet for a lot of people, but it should be celebrated like it will be,” said Miami’s Chris Bosh, who was slated to play in the All-Star Game but withdrew Friday afternoon with a calf injury.

“He’s the legal voting age in All-Star years. That’s crazy.

His body of work is second to none. I think it’s good for him to have some sort of closure and he can move on.”

Mind the gap: UConn’s Auriemma doesn’t expect dominance to last

By PAT EATON-ROBB The Associated Press STORRS, Conn. — UConn coach Geno Auriemma doesn’t believe his program will dominate women’s college basketball forever — maybe just through April.

No. 2 South Carolina this week became the seventh ranked team this season to fall to the three-time national champions, who used the 12point road win to extend the third-longest winning streak in NCAA and team history to 60 games.

Led by two-time national player of the year Breanna Stewart, UConn is winning games by an average of 40 points and has beaten ranked opponents by an average of 19.

The Huskies enter the stretch run as prohibitive favorites to go undefeated and win a fourth straight national

title.

“I think they’ve proven it, nobody can beat ‘em,” said Baylor coach Kim Mulkey. auriemma “Until somebody beats ‘em, I guess there’s a big gap.”

This is not his first UConn team to dominate women’s basketball. The Huskies have won 10 national titles since 1995.

But the dynamic this time around is different, Auriemma said.

The Huskies, he said, used to compete each year with Tennessee, and one or two other programs for the nation’s top prospects. Those two or three programs would then compete each year for national championships.

Now, there are more top athletes and they are being spread out among more

schools, Auriemma said.

So when one team is able to land Breanna Stewart, Morgan Tuck and Moriah Jefferson in a single class, it is going to create a gap between that program and everyone else for a few years, he said.

He jokes that he needs five cellphones to handle all the calls he’s getting from teams that want to play UConn next season, when he won’t have his big three.

“Then it will be somebody else’s turn to get on one of those runs, maybe,” he said.

The Huskies went five years between championships after Rebecca Lobo graduated in 1995. They had another fiveyear championship “drought” after Dianna Taurasi left 2004.

And it was three years between Maya Moore’s last title in 2010 and Breanna Stewart’s first in 2012.

DePaul coach Doug Bruno

said those who criticize UConn for being so dominant over the last two decades are misguided. Because of UConn, there is more talent in women’s basketball and more schools are putting resources into their women’s programs, he said.

That has actually led to a lot more parity, a lot more good teams and more great games, he said.

“Take UConn out of the mix, they’re in another class,” he said. “But the rest of the field should make for an absolutely great NCAA Tournament this year. I think anybody can get to the Final Four in the other three regions.”

Bruno and other rival coaches expect the Huskies won’t be quite as overpowering next season. But they also don’t believe the loss of Stewart and Co. will mean an end to the UConn era in women’s basketball.

Louisville coach Jeff Walz said a down year for the Huskies might mean an appearance in a regional final.

“I don’t think it will ever be the end when Geno Auriemma is the coach,” said Maryland coach Brenda Frese. “Without Jefferson and Stewart it’s going to take time to build that back. But it’s not like they don’t have any talent on that roster that’s not returning.”

The Huskies play just one more ranked team before the postseason. They face No. 22 South Florida in Storrs on Feb. 29. They beat the Bulls 75-59 in Florida last month.

Forward Morgan Tuck said the players know they will be expected to continue beating everyone by double-digits right through the Final Four.

“I think we enjoy that gap,” Tuck said. “We want to show that we are on a different level than everybody else.”

top 25 roundup

No. 1 Villanova beats St. John’s 73-63 PHILADELPHIA — Daniel Ochefu had a career-high 25 points, Ryan Arcidiacono scored 13 and No. 1 Villanova beat St. John’s 73-63 Saturday night.

Amar Alibegovic led the Red Storm with a career-best 18 points. St. John’s has lost 16 in a row, the longest streak in Division I. For a half, Villanova (22-3, 12-1 Big East) hardly looked like the nation’s top team. The Wildcats, who were 27-point favorites, only led 28-27 at halftime.

Whatever coach Jay Wright said to his team during the break worked.

Villanova came out firing in the second half, going 9 for 11 while building a double-digit lead. Arcidiacono’s 3-pointer capped a 10-3 run and gave the Wildcats their biggest lead to that point, 51-40.

Wisconsin 70 (2) Maryland 57

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Wisconsin shut down No. 2 Maryland in the decisive first half and held on for a 70-57 victory Saturday night, ending the Terrapins’ 27-game home winning streak and knocking them out of a tie atop the Big Ten standings.

Vitto Brown scored a careerhigh 21 points, Bronson Koenig had 16 and Nigel Hayes added 14 for the Badgers (16-9, 8-4), who have won seven straight.

After using a 28-5 run to go up 35-19, Wisconsin let the lead dwindle to six points with 10:48 remaining before pushing back. A 3-pointer by Koenig and a layup by Brown made it 53-41, and the Terrapins never threatened again.

(6) Kansas 76 (3) Oklahoma 72

NORMAN, Okla. — Devonte’ Graham scored a career-high 27 points and did a tenacious job defending Buddy Hield to help No. 6 Kansas defeat No. 3 Oklahoma 76-72 on Saturday.

Graham made 6 of 9 3-point attempts for the Jayhawks (214, 9-3 Big 12), who swept the regular-season series. Kansas won the first meeting 109-106 in triple overtime on Jan. 4.

Hield, who scored 46 points in the first meeting, scored 18 of his 24 points in the second half for Oklahoma. Isaiah Cousins added 21 points for the Sooners (20-4, 8-4), who fell out of a tie for the conference lead.

It was Kansas’ fifth straight win, and it snapped Oklahoma’s 19-game home winning streak. Kansas was coming off a win over No. 10 West Virginia on Tuesday.

No put-back was more important than Landry Nnoko’s basket with 4:29 left after Holmes missed two free throws. Nnoko worked around Mitchell, and instead of trailing by five with the ball, Georgia Tech was down seven points and never got closer.

Michael Carrera finished with 25 points for South Carolina (21-4, 8-4), which had been 13-0 at home this season.

Calipari was sent packing by official Doug Sirmons, who called the first technical when Calipari argued over the lack of a call on a rebound. When Calipari approached Sirmons after his first technical, he was quickly teed up again and his anger increased.

Three Wildcats had to get between the shouting Calipari and Sirmons before the coach was led off the court and into the locker room.

It was the second time in three seasons Calipari did not make it to the end of a game at Colonial Life Arena, thrown out late in South Carolina’s 72-67 victory here in 2014.

How angry was Calipari this time? “Very,” Payne said.

How much effort went into restraining Calipari? “A lot of effort,” Payne answered quickly.

‘Blew’ will compete at Westminster American Water Spaniel lives, trains in Sumter

BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com

A

merican Water Spaniel Running with the Hare, fa-

miliarly called “Blew,” can be seen competing in the 140th Westminster Kennel Club competition at Madison Square Garden in New York City next week.

Blew, now 4 years old and owned and trained by Sumter’s Lois McCracken, has been “top dog” in many competitions, most recently having been named Top American Water Spaniel Show Champion in the country in 2014 and 2015, Best of Breed at Westminster 2015 and Best of Breed at Eukanuba International Dog Show three consecutive years, 2013 through 2015.

And those are just a few of his accomplishments. McCracken provided a list of his titles and recognitions: • Best in Show Specialty (American Water Spaniels only) 2014, Select Dog in 2013; • One Best in Show; • Seven Group 1’s in Sporting Group 2015, several groups 2 through 4; and • Several hunt test and obedience titles in addition to show titles.

Blew comes from a line of champions, McCracken said.

Before she raised and trained him, several in his family won their events, and three were named Best of Breed at Westminster. They were his grandmother Gurley on one side of his family, and on the other side, his father, Digger, and his

Blew is also a therapy dog at Palmetto Health Tuomey, in the program that McCracken founded. grandmother Mare-z.

Gurley was the first American Water Spaniel to become a Master Hunter in Upland Hunt Test, Best of Breed at Westminster and Eukanuba shows, and one of the first therapy dogs at Palmetto Health Tuomey.

Blew’s mother, Bunny, won

Best of Breed at the Eukanuba International Dog Show; earned Rally, Hunt Test and Agility titles; and was a therapy dog.

win an International Best in Show.

Father Digger is the top winning AWS in the history of the breed, was the first AWS to finish in the top 10 (eighth) in Sporting Group and Best of Breed at Eukanuba and Westminster.

In addition, Gumbo, who belongs to McCracken’s husband David, was the first AWS to win the most points in United Kennel Club’s Hunting Retriever Club. He, too, is a therapy dog.

This year will mark Blew’s fourth in various competitions.

McCracken said, “Usually dogs compete for one to five years, sometimes longer.”

He already has an impressive record, but winning Best in Show at Westminster would be equivalent to tennis’ Grand Slam or the Super Bowl.

McCracken plans to continue showing American Water Spaniels, even if Blew should retire in the next few years.

“I have a 2-year-old named Bea,” she said. “She is close to her championship now; she’s currently in Georgia for retriever training. Once she receives her show championship, I plan to participate in hunting and the hunt test arena with her.”

With such an impressive résumé, one might think Blew was a pampered pup, but that is not the case. McCracken said he likes duck hunts and partic-

ipates in hunt tests.

In addition, he is a pet therapy dog at Palmetto Health Tuomey, where McCracken is the Regulatory Officer in Risk Management. She started the therapy dog program in 2008.

McCracken handled Blew before 2015, but he now has two show handlers, “Ryan Wolfe and Lisa Bettis from Goshen, Indiana, one of whom will handle him at Westminster,” McCracken said. “They have been showing Blew throughout the country for a year to promote our breed.”

She’s cautiously optimistic about Blew’s chances at Westminster.

“Blew’s real competition will be in the Group ring,” McCracken said “He has had several group placements and two Best in Shows. In the Sporting group, there are very accomplished and wellknown dogs in the country.

Still, his chances of winning are dependent on the competition and the judge.

“Regardless of the outcome, I’m pleased that Blew’s recognition and success so far has afforded us the opportunity to show the American Water Spaniel breed in this venue.”

Lee County School District BISHOPVILLE PRIMARY SCHOOL Second- and third-graders at Bishopville Primary School competed in a school-wide spelling bee to determine who would represent them at the district level. The National Scripps Spelling Bee Word Lists were used to quiz students as they progressed through the various levels. Amil Cooper, a thirdgrader in Dominique Wells’ class, was the first-place winner, and Shadrach Williams, a second-grader in Cynthia Davis’ class, was the second-place winner. Congratulations to all the students who competed in the BPS Spelling Bee. BPS is celebrating Black History Month. During announcements each morning, third-grade students present facts about notable blacks. Students guess the identity of the mystery person and submit their answers to the principal. Each afternoon a name is drawn from the pool of correct responses, announced over the intercom and awarded a small treat.

First-grade students expanded their horizons this week with a trip to the planetarium at Francis Marion in Florence. Students were able to observe constellations, the planets and the sun. Students saw photos from the moon landing and models of space shuttles.

Feb. 15-19 is registration week for 4K and 5k for the 2016-17 school year. Anyone with a child who will be 4 or 5 by Sept. 1 is asked to pre-register their children at the school for the next year. We ask that you pre-register your students so that we can ensure that there is space for your child in 4K and that we have allocated the appropriate amount of teachers for 5K. Please remember to bring the necessary documentation (birth certificate, Social Security card, immunization record and a utility or cable bill for proof of residence).

BISHOPVILLE PRIMARY SCHOOL ANNEX BPS Annex is a recipient of the United States Department of Agriculture grant which provides a variety of fruit and vegetables daily. Students enjoy eating healthy snacks during independent reading.

THE SUMTER ITEM welding instructor at the Career and Technology Center retired. He recommended Culick as a possible replacement. Culick applied, and the rest, he says, “is history.”

Culick teaches a variety of welding techniques including gas tungsten arc welding, flux cored arc welding, shielded metal arc welding (stick) and gas metal arc welding. Throughout the two-year program, the students take written and hands-on welding tests. Upon successful completion of the program, they receive National Center for Construction Education Research certification. Culick is also an American Welding Society inspector and can award an AWS card for structural steel certification for students who pass that portion.

A teacher is chosen from one Sumter School District school monthly for the honor of being the Star Teacher of the Month. The students nominate the teachers for the recognition. The program is sponsored by Staples and Flowers & Baskets Florist.

KINDERGARTEN, PRE-K REGISTRATION Sumter School District continues to hold pre-kindergarten and kindergarten registration for the 2016-17 school year. Both are full-day programs. Students must be 5 years old by Sept. 1 to qualify for kindergarten and 4 years old by Sept. 1 to qualify for pre-kindergarten.

The pre-kindergarten program is not state mandated, and there are a limited number of slots available at each school. Potential pre-kindergarten students will be pre-screened using a state-approved instrument.

Students must meet the family income eligibility table, have Medicaid, or have documented developmental delays.

Students must attend the school within their attendance zone. To register for these programs, parents should visit the school and bring the child’s birth certificate, South Carolina Immunization Form 2740, proof of residence, a physical examination form, and Medicaid card/proof of income.

For more information, call the appropriate school or the Director of Early Learning Libby DuBose at (803) 774-5900. Parents are encouraged to enroll their children no later than April 29.

RAUCH RECEIVES PACE SCHOLARSHIP

SMITH TO PRESENT RECITAL, LECTURE Next in the University of South Carolina Sumter’s Faculty Seminar Series will be Jane Luther Smith, instructor of music, with a recital and lecture titled Piano Music with a Feminine Touch: Celebrating Female Composers in History.

Focusing on the women piano composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Smith will perform short piano pieces while providing historical and social context for the women who wrote them. In a time when merely being female in public could be shocking and subversive, passionate women like Clara Schumann, Denise Lassimonne and Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel thrived in their respective music scenes.

They published their original short pieces under their own names, even when publishing was difficult because of their gender and persevered in becoming esteemed musicians and performers in their own rights.

Composers to be discussed in the lecture include Denise Lassimonne, Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, Cecile Chaminade, Amy Marcy Beach, Louise Dumont Farrenc, Margaret Ruthven Lang and Clara Gottschalk Peterson.

The recital and lecture will be held in Nettles Auditorium at noon on Friday.

Light refreshments will be served.— AC Sullivan

Sumter School District CULICK NAMED STAR TEACHER Larry Culick, the welding instructor at Sumter Career and Technology Center, was named the February Star Teacher of the Month in the program sponsored by Community Broadcasters. He and Superintendent J. Frank Baker appeared on the Good Morning Sumter show on FM 105.9 with host Derek Burress.

Culick is a 1984 graduate of the Career and Technology Center. After his graduation, he went on to work as a welder in industries, paper mills, power plants, on gas pipelines and in a variety of construction and maintenance areas.

Twenty-two years ago, his former

JACOCKS NAMED ALABAMA SCHOLAR Senior Wells Jacocks received the University of Alabama Scholar Award which is valued at $69,200 and covers two-thirds of tuition. The scholarship is awarded to incoming freshman who earn a minimum SAT score of 1330 and have a minimum GPA of 3.5.

Senior Maddie Rauch was awarded a Pforzheimer’s Honors College Scholarship from Pace University in New York. The scholarship is based on academic achievement and recipients must earn a minimum score of 1200 on the SAT and have a minimum cumulative average of 90 in all high school classes. Valued at $60,000, the scholarship covers one-third of tuition.

SCANNELLA AWARDED SCHOLARSHIP Senior Katie Scannella received the Presidential Scholarship from Guilford College in North Carolina. Worth $72,000, the scholarship covers onehalf of tuition and is presented to incoming freshmen who have a strong academic record as determined by GPA, course selection and SAT scores.

CONSTITUTION COMPETITION The seniors in the Advanced Placement U.S. Government and Politics class taught by Tom O’Hare participated in the We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution competition held recently at Columbia College.

The entire class, working in cooperative teams, prepared and presented four minute statements before a panel of community representatives acting as a congressional committee. More than 300 students from public and private schools from throughout the state participated in the competition. By participating in a simulated congressional hearing in which they testified before a panel of judges, students demonstrated their knowledge and understanding of constitutional principles and had opportunities to evaluate, take and defend positions on relevant historical and contemporary issues.

COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE Wilson Hall is hosting a community open house for the parents of prospective students in three-year-old preschool through 12th grade on Feb. 21 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. The public is invited to learn more about Wilson Hall and its academic, athletic and extracurricular programs from faculty members, current students and their parents. — Sean Hoskins

REFLECTIONS

THE SUMTER ITEM

The Sumter Hospital was purchased by the Tuomey board of trustees in 1913 and was chartered as the Tuomey Hospital.

Doctors establish the Sumter Hospital in 1905

T

his issue of Reflections focuses on the efforts of several local doctors who wanted to establish a hospital in the city of Sumter.

Their guidance and initiative inspired the local citizenry to sup-

port what has become an outstanding medical complex. Information and photos used in preparing this article were taken from The Sumter Item archives.

In 1893 the Sumter County Medical Association was appointed as one of the first steps to secure a local, quality medical facility. The ladies of the Sumter community were called upon to assist in this endeavor by holding a fair during the fall to help raise the necessary funds to pursue such an undertaking. “A prospectus, setting forth the need for the hospital, and the advantages to be derived from its establishment, together with a subscription list, was being prepared and would be circulated throughout the county.”

In August of 1893 Dr. Julius Mood wrote an article titled “A Hospital: The Need and Practicability of Establishing One in Sumter” in support of establishing a medical facility. Mood possessed remarkable literary talents, and his didactic ability to Sammy Way present a problem and REFLECTIONS offer solutions merits presenting his letter to the public. In 1893 he wrote to the Sumter community the following which is being reprinted with a modicum of editing.

“It is the duty of humanity for the well-to-do and able-bodied to care for the injured and diseased. Sumter County has a population of nearly 45,000, among these members there are always many who are sufferers from chronic diseases, wounds or malformations, that are curable by surgical means, but daily experience has shown that satisfactory, practical results are impossible of accomplishment except in a duly appointed and properly maintained building (hospital). Those among the wealthy who are so afflicted seek assistance (usually at great expense) in Charleston or some Northern city, while those of limited means are compelled to suffer without aid. If

Dr. Archie J. China, vice president of Sumter Hospital there were suitable rooms within our reach provided with the necessary appliances for properly performing surgical operations, with trained assistants for the after care of patients, much of this suffering could be relieved, and many lives prolonged that are now sacrificed, while the expense incurred by prolonged residence in a distant city could in many instances be avoided by those who are able to pay for treatment.

“Such, at least, has been the opinion of a majority of the physicians of the county for some time past, and believing that if the idea were properly presented to the people of Sumter County, they would not fail to respond; recognizing the fact that the establishment and maintenance of such an institution can only be accomplished by intelligent concerted action; and believing that the medical profession of the county was the proper body to take the initiative in the matter, the Sumter County Medical Association at its annual meeting, held May 12th,1893, adopted the following reso-

Dr. John Bossard was one of Sumter’s most beloved physicians. He began his medical practice in the Sumter community in 1849. He also served in the Civil War.

Dr. A.C. Dick, co-founder of Baker-Dick Infirmary lution: Resolved that a committee be appointed to investigate the feasibility of the enterprise (i.e., the construction of a hospital) and if possible to formulate a plan for the establishment of a hospital in the city of Sumter for the benefit of the citizens of Sumter County and under the auspices of the Sumter County Medical Association.”

“Under the above resolution a committee was appointed and a report, satisfactory in every particular, was made to the County Medical Association at its regular meeting Aug. 11th.

The idea in the minds of the committee was that it would be best, if possible, to erect a hospital building to contain four wards — one for whites, male and female, and black, male and female — an operating room and other necessary rooms, as a kitchen, nurse’s room, etc. — possibly several private rooms suitable to the wants of patients able and willing to pay for their board and medical attention. It is desirable then, first to raise enough money by private subscription to purchase a suitable lot and erect a properly appointed building. When this much is accomplished, we feel that a long step will have been taken.

“The cost of maintaining each bed, per year, will be about $200. We believe that many churches in the county will be willing to maintain at least one bed a year. Of the smaller churches, two, three or four may club together to maintain a bed. We think we can reasonably expect the several towns in the county to devote a certain amount each year toward the maintenance of one or more beds. The sick people of the poor house we may reasonably expect to care for in the free wards, the county authorities paying the actual cost of maintenance.

“As to who shall be the attending corps of physicians that will be left, probably to the choice of the association or to a board of trustees as may hereafter be determined. No fees will be expected by this corps from those received into the free wards. It is

Dr. S.C. Baker, president of the Sumter Hospital hoped that enough money will be raised to build and fit up several private rooms in the hospital building.

Occupants of such rooms would be expected to pay a reasonable amount for board and nursing, which amount will go toward the support of the hospital.

“The above being a summary of the views of the association, the following committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions to the hospital fund, and if necessary, appoint auxiliary committees. J. Mood, M.D., Chairman, W.J. Pringle, M.D. , J.W. Hudson, M.D., A.J. China, M.D., Archie China, M.D., R’d B. Furman, M.D., W.J. Dunn, M.D., E.F. Darby, M.D., W.W. Anderson, M.D., J.C. Spann, M.D., C.P. Osteen, M. D., J.J. Bossard, M.D., J.H. Furman, M.D., J.S. Hughson, M.D., S.C. Baker, M.D., A.C. Dick, M.D., P.M. Salley, M.D., N.Y. Alford, A.D., F.M. Dwight, M.D., H.M. Stuckey, M.D., W.E. Sparkman, M.D.” EDITOR’S NOTE: Next Sunday, Reflections will look back at the actual construction of the hospital.

YESTERYEAR FROM PAGE C1 Chairman of the medical committee is Dr. Norman Eaddy. Austin M. Francis will serve as director and will be responsible for mapping out the program and selecting a staff.

• Sumter’s American Legion Juniors made it three straight over Columbia last night by defeating the Capitals in their own back yard 9 to 5. The victory gave the Gamecocks the district title. Rufus McCoy chalked up his second victory over the Columbians by allowing but nine hits and keeping those scattered.

• Two very successful doll shows were held yesterday afternoon at Memorial Park and Jenkins playgrounds. The Savage-Glover playground will have their show this afternoon. Over 100 dolls were entered in the events. Blue ribbons were awarded the winners in the different classes.

The winners at Memorial Park playground were: prettiest doll, Jane Chandler; most unusual doll, Peggy Walling; best doll in foreign costume, Martha Shaw; most interesting homemade doll, Anita Tenning; oldest doll, Carol Stanley; smallest doll, Carol Ann Dearly. The judges at the Memorial Park show were: Miss Lucy Ann Cuttino, Miss Caroline Martin and Mrs. Heyward Crowson. The winners at Jenkins playground were: prettiest doll, Juanita Stoudenmire and Leah Windham; smallest doll, Jean Hayes; oldest doll, Olin Gleaton; most humanlooking doll, Billy Rogers; doll with prettiest hair, Janet Hayes; best homemade doll, Edna Jean Moser; prettiest doll carriage, Lucy Mortley; best doll in foreign costume, Frances Scott.

• Lt. John Gerald, U.S. Army, left for Camp Polk, La., where he is to be stationed with the 83rd Reconnaissance battalion, a mechanized cavalry unit. For the past week he has been visiting his mother, Mrs. R.W. Gerald, on Anne Park.

50 YEARS AGO – 1966 May 9 – 15 Dusting for mosquitoes, as part of the Sumter City-County Department of Health’s Insect Control Program, will get underway here tomorrow, it was announced today by Assistant Sanitarian J. W. Culler Jr., in charge of the program.

• Cadet Kenneth R. Young Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth R. Young, 414 Baldwin Dr., Sumter, has earned membership in the 1966-67 elite Summerall Guards of The Citadel, the military college of South Carolina. He and 60 other cadets were named to this unit, which is the military college’s precision drill team.

The 61 winners of the coveted positions as Summerall Guards were selected from over 200 juniors who sought the honor, and the strenuous and demanding competition lasted several weeks.

• This week marks the yearly drive for the Memorial Scholarship Loan Fund at Edmunds High, sponsored by the student council. The goal has been set at $2,000, $400 over the mark in 1965. If the record is made, the Villagers, a dance combo, has offered to provide an assembly with foot-stamping music to last as long as the administration will allow. The Memorial Scholarship Fund was created by the student body in 1946 to honor all graduates of Edmunds who lost their lives in World War II. • John Kelly, a senior at Hillcrest High School, will be traveling to Dallas, Texas, on May 11-14 as the South Carolina representative to the National Science Fair. Kelly entered the Hillcrest Science Fair with his project on Photoelectric Effect and won first prize in the physics division. On April 2, he took his project to the Regional Science Fair held in Columbia at the University field house.

There he took first place in the senior physics division, the second runner-up for the Naval Award, and the Best Boy award included the all-expense paid trip to Dallas and a chance to compete for a national award. Kelly is the president of the student body at Hillcrest and has won many other honors during his senior year.

• Logan Phillips has been

elected new president of the Sumter Executive Club. Also elected to three-year terms as directors were L.F. Cuttino, George C. James and Marion Moise. Other directors who’ll serve with the new members are Fred Brogdon, Ralph Kolb, Doyle Cannon, Marvin Trapp and Gerald J. Dix. Francis Holman was re-elected secretary of the organization.

• Dr. Norman Eaddy of Sumter is the new president-elect of the South Carolina Medical Assn. Eaddy attended the University of North Carolina, the College of Charleston and the Medical College of South Carolina. After a few years of general practice he took postgraduate work in diseases of the eye, ear and throat and specializes in these disorders.

• Radio Station WFBC and Television Station WFBC, both of Greenville, Radio Station WYMB, Manning and The Sumter Daily Item received the South Carolina Mental Health Assn’s News Media Awards for 1965 at a luncheon today at the Wade Hampton Hotel in Columbia. The Sumter County Mental Health Assn. received the State Organization’s “Chapter Service Award” for 1965.

• Charles Hughes, installment loan officer of the Citizens and Southern National Bank here, was elected president of the Sumter Jaycees Thursday. He will succeed John Parker.

25 YEARS AGO – 1991 Feb. 8 – 14 Manchester Middle School’s girls clinched first place in the Mid-8 Conference with a 36-18 win over R.E. Davis at the Manchester gym. Andrea Holmes scored 12 points for the winners and Tomeka Walker added 10. The Manchester boys won 52-45 over R.E. Davis. Marlon Brown led with 15 points, followed by Octavious Kennedy with 14, Reggie Felder, 13 and Terrance Johnson 10.

• “Black Photographers, 1840-1940,” an exhibit of photographs on display at the Sumter County Museum, is valuable for several reasons. Historically, culturally, socially, technically and aesthetically, here’s a show to inform the viewer. The exhibit will very likely commandeer the viewer’s attention on all these levels. “Black Photographers” offers a number of absorbing and aesthetically moving portraits.

• USC Sumter opens two exhibits of works by local artist William J. Reynolds, one featuring 10 original paintings and another consisting of 26 prints presented by the artist as a gift to the university.

Reynolds’ paintings and prints depict historic events and make a significant contribution toward the educational enrichment of those who view them.

• From Wall Street to Main Streets in cities and towns across the country, it’s not unusual to hear of individuals starting small businesses that grow into major economic players. But City Nursery Farm Inc. in the heart of Bishopville offers a new twist to those stores and proves that the term “small business” is relative. “My dad started this business out of a wheelbarrow in 1950 – selling tomato plants and azaleas,” said Bishopville Mayor Tom Drayton, who coowns the nursery, which has grown into a 26-acre facility, with his brother, Graham.

• James Watson finished a stellar high school basketball career at Furman High School and decided to head to the upstate of South Carolina, Tigerville, and go the junior college route at North Greenville.

There he started at point guard and it has made him a better player. “It has given me the experience I needed,” Watson said. “There is a lot of competition at the junior college level.”

• Some boards, some canvas and a lot of imagination help Randy Abbott create a 1920s home, the streets of London or anyplace else imaginable. The 25-year-old veteran set designer has almost 10 years’ experience with the Sumter Little Theatre, with added stints in productions at USC Sumter and the Sumter County Talented and Gifted program.

• Counting and labeling 200 monogrammed plates and other objects wasn’t an easy

PANORAMA task, but one Renee Stowe, coordinator of collections at the Sumter County Museum, gladly undertook. Stowe, who finished a six-month internship at the Biltmore House in Asheville, N.C., in December, gave an insider’s view of the mansion at the Sumter County Museum last week. Completed in 1895, the Biltmore House was meant to serve as a summer home for George Washington Vanderbilt and his family.

• A deputy sheriff’s standard equipment in Sumter County includes a badge, gun, holster and now, stuffed animals. All deputies carry “Deputy Dog” stuffed toys in their police cruisers to help comfort children involved in frightening or confusing situations, such as being lost or in a car crash.

The Sumter Civitan Club provides the stuffed toys modeling successful programs in other parts of the country.

THE SUMTER ITEM • The state museum is highlighting Sumter County in its exhibitions, and county residents will be admitted at halfprice through the month.

Sumter County Day will be Sunday. County residents will be admitted to the museum free and may attend a reception in their honor from 3 to 4 p.m. Exhibits are divided into art, natural history science and technology and cultural history.

• Sumter law enforcement’s newest crime-fighter sniffs cocaine, and he’s so good at it that he’s winning praise from the sheriff and police chief.

“Crack,” a 3-year-old black Labrador retriever that police rescued from the local animal shelter and trained themselves, can sniff out even the most cleverly hidden caches of cocaine, crack and marijuana.

• Morris College’s Gilbert Wilson was honored as the 1991 Eastern Intercollegiate

Athletic Conference women’s basketball coach of the year.

Wilson, however, wasn’t about to take credit for the Lady Hornets’ 13-9 record, their first winning record in many seasons. “These girls did this, not me,” said Wilson who is in his fourth year at Morris. “This is their trophy.”

• Deployed soldiers are always missed by friends and family. But when they work in law enforcement for small counties like Lee, they’re also missed at their jobs. Hardest hit by Operation Desert Storm in Lee County so far is the sheriff’s department, where the gulf war has grabbed two officers and threatens to take another. “When you don’t have but 14 deputies, that hurts,” said Chief Deputy Wayne Sims.

W

hile shopping on the Internet is often billed as being more conve-

nient than walking into a brickand-mortar store, the impersonality of some huge network of computers lacks many of the advantages of face-to-face, hand-towheel or foot-to-tire contact when buying a new car.

The web has a great deal of information on just about every new vehicle, but looking at a video is not the same as actually getting in a vehicle, feeling the texture of the seats, playing with the buttons and going for a test drive.

“Purchasing a vehicle is a very big decision and being able to sit in a vehicle and being able to drive the vehicle and make sure it is comfortable is important,” said Robert Jones, general manager of Jones Chevrolet-Cadillac in Sumter.

Jones said there is still an important aspect of buying a car that is quite personal.

“I may sit in a vehicle, and it feels really good, or I may sit in it, and I can’t see the blind spots because of the way I sit,” he said. “You want to be sure that it really fits you as an individual and meets your needs as an individual.”

That hands-on experience is not the only reason a visit to a local automobile dealership has its advantages.

You will not find the same personal service on the web as you get at a dealer, said Will Stacy, general sales manager at Scott Will Toyota in Sumter.

“It’s not just about the sale,” he said. “Our job doesn’t stop when you say ‘yes,’ it begins.”

Stacy said when someone buys a car from a local dealer, the dealership will be behind the vehicle throughout the life of the car.

“If you buy a car through the Internet, who are you going to call then?”

Stacy asked. “You are more of a number than a name.”

He said that relationship between a customer and the staff at a dealership is a huge part of car buying. Someone

is always on hand to help customers deal with any issue.

Lannes Prothro, co-owner and president of sales at Prothro Chevrolet in Manning, said the technology of new cars is changing very fast, and dealership personnel go through extensive training to help customers learn to take advantage of that technology.

“We have a lot of training we have to do,” he said. “Whether it’s a small dealership or a large dealership, we are all very well trained. It’s no different in Manning or Atlanta. “ Introducing buyers to what their vehicles can do is now a big part of the delivery process.

“It is a very different process to deliver a new vehicle now as it was five or 10 years ago,” Jones said.

He said the technology has reached the point where customers may need more than one session to learn all a new vehicle is capable of.

“We typically have to do that more than one time,” he said. “To go over the basic operation and do it justice is a good hour-long process.”

Most customers are interested in learning all the features as well as how to pair their phone, Jones said, but there is even more technology than just pairing a phone.

“For Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles there is OnStar, and there is even an app to download to their phone that they can actually control the ve-

hicle with,” he said. “There is quite a bit of information to give the customer.”

Almost all dealerships have personnel from their corporate partners who come to train the sales and service staff on a regular basis.

Prothro said if somebody hasn’t traded in eight to 10 years, there is a bit of a learning curve.

“Sometimes we break the orientation down into two or three sessions,” he said. “There is a lot of technology now, even in the cheaper cars.”

“We train every single day,” Stacy said. “Not only that, we have a trainer from Toyota who comes and trains us on the actual vehicle’s electronics and safety technology that helps people in their everyday lives.”

He said the training is not just about the vehicle but also how to make sure the buyer has the knowledge to take advantage of what a new vehicle can do.

“They not only train us on how to use them but how to teach people to use them,” he said.

Stacy said that one-on-one training isn’t found in cyberspace.

“You are not going to get that by watching a video on the Internet,” Stacy said. “You have to sit in the car with a sales associate and have them explain it to you and show you how to do it.”

That personal assistance in not just

with one salesman, he said.

“If any of our customers have an issue with a car or don’t know how to use something, any of our sales associates will jump in the car with you and show you how to operate it,” he said.

Of course, there are all the other advantages to supporting a brick and mortar business as well.

Prothro said with the factory incentives dealers can offer, buyers get deals at a dealership just as good as those online.

“We offer the same competitive prices,” he said.

In addition, Prothro said only local dealerships give back to the community.

“We support all the community events,” Prothro said. “We advertise in our local papers, and we support all the little leagues and all of that.”

Jones said doing business with a local business allows them to continue to offer products and services locally.

Jones said dealers work to give their customers the option of shopping in the dealership or online.

“The majority of our customers shop online,” he said. “We do, too.

That is how the research is being done now, and we try very hard to offer that convenience to the customer as well.

They are able to manage that process either online or in the store, or we can even come to them if necessary.”

FISHING REPORTS The following information is provided courtesy www.

SCFishingReport.com. Check the site for recent updates and detailed reports. DHEC Fish Consumption Advisories: www.scdhec.gov/ environment/water/fish.

Freshwater Report Santee Cooper System Not a great time to be on the lakes with the high inflow, muddy conditions and cold temps. Slow reports for crappie, catfish and bass.Midlands area Lake Wateree Crappie: Improving. Once the water settles down, the crappie bite should be on since fish haven’t had a good opportunity to feed recently. While the river run is a traditional place to fish at this time of year, with so much current coming down the lake it will be a while before anglers can keep bait down there and so the first place be looking in the creeks. Expect Beaver Creek to clear early, and with dropping water temperatures the bite should get right there first. Fish in 6-9 feet of water, and tight-lining (pushing) will be the name of the game. Fish Stalker 2-inch Slab Tail Jigs in Ugly Green, Yellow and Orange colors will be good as they are highvisibility.

Lake Greenwood Bass: Fair to good. Muddy water can often kill a winter bite. Fish can be caught around laydowns, but the best fishing has been around rocky banks and other hard cover such as boat ramps.

The best shallow areas have been in the back of creeks and coves, probably because of annual bait migration patterns that still have the bait in the creeks. As would be expected in the muddy conditions, big white and chartreuse spinnerbaits are fishing well.

Jigs and crankbaits in highly visible colors such as chartreuse and black backs, or red, are also working well. The cold front might push fish a bit deeper,

but with conditions still so muddy he doesn’t expect fish to go very deep. They might move onto slightly deeper docks but should probably stay in the same area.

Lake Monticello Catfish: Good. Anchoring on main lake humps and points with steep ledges is most effective for putting big blue catfish in the boat; being patient and staying in one spot for a while can really pay off. Cut gizzard shad, big threadfin shad, and white perch seem to be the best baits.

Lake Murray Crappie: Slow. Some results reported by tightlining. Go shallower in the afternoon when the water warms up.

Some can be found on deep brush around 20 feet. Use jigs or minnows very slow. Fish can be hard to find in deep water, so look at the mouths of creeks that split off from the main river in 12-15 feet. Striper: Fair. Check down the lake in the back of the big creeks. Some schooling reported up the river. Use freelining with live bait.

Piedmont Area Lake Russell Bass: Fair to Good. Fish were recently grouped up in 20-40 feet of water in the middle to backs of the creeks, but as temperatures dropped they moved into 60-80 feet of water at the mouths of creeks and stacked up on deep flats.

Utilize drop shots and jigging spoons he expects to catch 100 or more fish in a day. It’s anyone’s guess what the next few weeks will bring with plenty of rain and at least some balmy weather in the extended forecast.

Lake Thurmond Striped and hybrid bass: Good.

Captain William Sasser reports that striped bass seem similarly unaffected by fluctuating water conditions as the bass.

Fish bit right through the wild, running current when all of the water was

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tables are set up to host guests who will be served locally produced vegetables, fruits and flowers at Table Mountain Farm near Golden, Colorado. Agrihoods are residential developments with homes centered around small working farms.

Welcome to the ‘agrihood’ Housing developing around small farms

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Gated communities with houses clustered around golf courses, swimming pools, party rooms and fitness centers are common in many suburban areas. But homes built adjacent to functioning farms?

Welcome to “agrihoods” — pastoral ventures with healthier foods as their focus.

This farm-to-table residential model has been sprouting up everywhere from Atlanta to Shanghai. It involves homes built within strolling distance of small working farms, where produce matures under the hungry gaze of residents, where people can venture out and pick greens for their salads.

“Real estate developers are looking for the next big thing to set them apart,” said Ed McMahon, senior resident fellow with the Urban Land Institute in Washington. “That gives them a competitive advantage.”

There are many variations of the agrihood, McMahon said.

“Some developers rent acreage to farmers,” he said. “Some set up non-profit C.S.A. (community-supported agriculture) programs.

Some have the residents doing it (the growing) themselves.”

Agrihoods frequently include farmer’s markets, inns and restaurants sited in communal hubs where the edibles are processed or sold.

A lot of things are driving the

running through the lake, and if anything the action seemed to excite the fish. Right now fish are being caught all over the place on Clarks Hill, and the last few outings William has been concentrating on 25-30 feet of water off main lake points on the lower part of the lake. Fishing down-lined live herring right on the bottom has been effective for striper and hybrids.

Lake Wylie Largemouth Bass: Slow to fair. Fish have moved deep due to cold temperatures. Try grubs for bait. If you get a sunny day then move to the flats near the creek channels. If the lake is muddy then use a spinnerbait or rattletraps.

Mountains Area Lake Hartwell Catfish: Fair to good. This time of year blue catfish have moved up shallower and into the creeks this January, and when conditions permitted you can catch some pretty good numbers of 8-12 pound blues on cut herring.

Drifting in 15-30 feet of water has been pretty effective, and if anglers could find a shore that was possible to pull up on they could probably do well anchoring baits at the same depth. The wind has been periodically strong so that anchoring a boat in open water has been tough. Cut herring, cut shad, or most any other fresh cut bait is working. Striped Bass: Slow to fair.

Captain Bill Plumley reports that fishing has been pretty tough for striper, but some fish have been caught on jigging spoons. Anglers should first mark fish on the bottom, and then drop a spoon down - and expect plenty of white perch to be mixed in with the catch. In the afternoon when temperatures warm up marginally some fish have also been caught on free-lined live herring.

Lake Keowee Bass: Fair. Until the very recent cold snap this action could be found throughout the day, both in overcast and sunny conditions. Fish could also be

trend, McMahon said. “There’s more interest in fresh foods.

There’s interest in good health.

There’s interest in local everything. It’s also about enjoying the many conveniences that help you meet your neighbors.”

Many purchasers are secondhome buyers, retirees or parents of young children, McMahon said.

“They tend to be what I call the ‘barbell generation,’” he said. “The millennial generation that wants fresh everything, that wants to know where their food is coming from. Also the senior generation, the baby boomers. They don’t want big yards to take care of anymore.”

Prices tend to be a lot cheaper for agriculture-centered dwellings than for homes facing golf courses.

Along with their higher operating costs, many golf course developments face concerns about water shortages; some are being pushed toward becoming foodbased operations, said Matthew “Quint” Redmond, owner of Agriburbia LLB, a Boulder, Coloradobased business that designs, builds and operates farms.

“The issue is making more calories out of the water we have,” Redmond said. “Growing things that are better for you. And fewer people are playing golf these days.

We’ll be seeing a lot of golf course conversions in the next 10 to 15 years.”

found on the surface over deep water as well as in the shallows. While the surface pattern will probably wane as the water starts to approach more normal winter temperatures, the deep/ drop-shot pattern will get stronger and stronger. As is typical finesse worms fished on dropshot rig are accounting for the greatest number of his fish, but small spoons have also been catching bass.

Lake Jocassee Bass: Slow Largemouth bass can be caught on Lake Jocassee in January and February, but Guide Rob McComas says that he typically spends relatively little time targeting them at this time of year.

When Rob is able to target smallmouth he likes to go after them, and the winter months are the most consistent smallmouth bass season on Jocassee.

For the next month or two Rob says that he will chiefly be targeting brown fish on the lake. Pursuing smallmouth in January and February means fishing off steep points and bluff walls, and that can mean fishing in the main lake or in the rivers. The Whitewater River has some good steep points and bluff walls, and he will be fishing anywhere that has the structure he is looking for. The bait of choice for Rob is a float n fly rig, and he is usually fishing it 12-20 feet deep.

Saltwater Little River No report.

Grand Strand Inshore: Before the cold temps, trout and redfish were both feeding pretty

well around the jetties and inside the Inlet. Both live bait and artificial shrimp were catching fish, but the cold weather seems to have slowed things down.

Some sheepshead are also around at the jetties and a few juvenile flounder are still being caught inshore.

Charleston Offshore: Solid bottom fishing reports continue to come in when the wind has allowed boats to get out and the best part is that with the colder weather they don’t have to go as far to find good fishing. Sea bass, triggerfish, and b-liners have been found in good sizes and numbers in anywhere from 60-90 feet of water using squid, cigar minnows, and an assortment of styles of jigs. The few boats that have gone way offshore reports some nice wahoo still hanging around in 150-300 feet of water and some blackfin tuna in the same depths.

The best wahoo reports came from those anglers high-speed trolling.

Beaufort-Hilton Head Spottail Bass: Good. Fish are grouped up in large schools. This time of year you need to be subtle in your presentations with the clear water, and on spinning tackle throw as light a jig as you can throw around creek mouths and flats where fish should be sitting. Small paddle tail grubs in light or bright colors - not dark colors - are a good option, as are Gulp! Shrimp. Small #4 and #6 flies in light colors, such as tan kwan flies, are good on fly gear. On the incoming tide fish will be a bit shallower when the mud is warm, and on dropping tides fish will hold a bit deeper. It is worth remembering to throw to the edge of schools to avoid spooking fish. Away from the flats, some fish can also be caught around deep holes and trees.
