S.C. GOP PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY

Trump wins Once the favorite, Bush ends bid for nomination SPARTANBURG (AP) — Donald Trump scored his second straight Republican presidential primary win, rolling to victory in South Carolina on Saturday as voters seething about Washington and politicians helped propel the billionaire businessman past GOP establishment candidates.

One of Trump’s favorite targets, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, finally threw in the towel, suspending his campaign after a dismal finish. “Thank you for the opportunity to run for the greatest office on the face of the earth,” an emotional Bush told his supporters.

TRUMP Two freshmen senators — Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida — were battling for second place, which would give them bragging rights but might not get them any delegates in the march to the nomination.

In a family-affair victory speech, Trump ticked off his policy promises, vowing to terminate President Barack Obama’s health care law and get Mexico to pay for a wall at the border.

“We’re going to start winning for our country because our country doesn’t win anymore,” said Trump, with his wife, Melania, and daughter Ivanka at his side.

Jim Bernard glues a line onto a yard arm on the HMS Unicorn ship he is building in his spare time. Bernard only works on the ships during the winter time and they can take several years to hand craft.

A model shipbuilder Sumter man creates detailed reproductions of 18th century vessels

umter resident Jim Bernard has a unique craft he enjoys working on when the weather is bad: building model ships. The replicas, however, are more than just wooden boats; they are scale models of 18th century warships, with noticeable, minute detail.

With names of actual ships from the 1700s such as H.M.S. Vanguard, H.M.S. Fly and H.M.S. Unicorn, one would think Bernard, 70, is building a museum of naval warfare.

He first caught an interest in model ships while visiting a maritime exhibit at one of the Smithsonian Institution museums in Washington, D.C. Bernard, a former station manager of S.C. ETV station WRJA in Sumter, built his first model ship in the late 1960s, just to see if he could do it.

In 2007, more than 45 years later, he picked up the hobby again and has been at it ever since. He works on the ships when the weather is too bad to do his other passion, cycling.

Bernard cycles as many as 12,000 miles a year.

Bernard constructs ships from parts he orders from an Italian company. The only manual he receives are dozens of pages of blueprints, with no written instructions.

“It’s a time consuming thing that you have to have patience for, but I really enjoy it,” he said.

“It gives me something to do and the satisfaction of being able to hang with it.”

Bernard’s ships range in size from 2-feet long and 2-feet high, to 4-feet long and 3-feet high.

Local turnout heavy; results tell same story

BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com Large numbers of Sumter County’s Republican population turned out Saturday to cast a vote during the GOP Primary for the candidates they believe are worthy to continue in the highly covered 2016 presidential race.

As of 10 p.m. Saturday, a little more than 10,300 people were reported to have made it to the polls in Sumter and nearly 4,300 individuals exercised their right to vote in Clarendon County, according to scvotes.org .

Saturday saw approximately 124,000 more of South Carolina’s Republican voters taking to the polls than during the 2012 GOP primaries when approximately 582,000 people cast their vote.

The website showed statewide numbers favoring Donald Trump followed by Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio in second and third place, respectively.

Republican voters in Sumter and Clarendon counties mostly reflected statewide numbers with Cruz and Rubio fighting for second and third place until about 9:30 p.m. when Cruz finished as runner up to Trump.

Jeb Bush, who suspended his presidential campaign Saturday night, held fast to fourth place in both counties and in the state overall.

Jason Reddick, acting chair of Sumter County Republican Party, said he had been to a few polling stations around the Sumter and turn out looked better than the mid-term election.

He said Sumter County residents are appreciative of the candidates who have stopped by but could not say if they actually swayed any voters.

Reddick was proven to be correct in a statement

The HMS Vanguard is 4 feet long by 3 feet tall and took Jim Bernard three years to build from a kit.

“It’s not something you can do overnight,” he said.

Bernard’s largest ship, a replica of the British H.M.S. Vanguard from 1787, contained a kit of 13 pounds of assembly parts, including wood strips and plans.

Each kit includes industrial laser-cut plywood pieces, which help ensure a good frame alignment, Bernard said. He uses a

special wood glue to piece together the ship’s body. Below deck, gun backing strips are then installed. Each deck is individually planked with a specific planking pattern using 80-millimeter, 40-millimeter and 20-millimeter strips. Several hundred strips are required for each deck, he said.

LOCAL BRIEFS FROM STAFF REPORTS

Election ruling appealed to S.C. Supreme Court A Feb. 16 order by Circuit Court Judge George James affirming the Municipal Election Commission’s order for a new election for Bishopville City Council is under appeal to South Carolina Supreme Court. James ruled that ballots in Bishopville’s Ward 2 had been counted in secret, invalidating the election’s results.

The MEC’s decision was appealed to the candidates who obtained enough votes in the election to gain seats on the City Council, but James denied their appeal.

Thursday, Melvin W. Cockrell, their attorney, filed a notice of appeal of the decision to the state Supreme Court. Ennis Bryant, one of the original appellants. is not listed in the appeal filed Thursday.

It is unclear when the latest appeal will be heard.

Until then, Bishopville City Council will continue to meet with the same councilors as before the May 2015 election: Mayor Alexander Boyd, Bryant, Currie, Morrow, Muldrow and Craig Nesbit. The appeal lists candidates Nesbit and John Latimer, who protested the election to the MEC, as respondents.

Boy gets CCTC prosthetic hand Students used 3-D printers to create working device

BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com A Clarendon County boy received a belated birthday gift from Central Carolina Technical College’s Engineering Graphics Technology program when he received a prosthetic hand Thursday morning.

Connor Morgan, who celebrated his 13th birthday Feb. 11, took home his first prosthetic hand that was created using 3-D printers at CCTC’s Advanced Manufacturing Technology Training Center.

Gary Morgan, Connor’s father, said the car ride to the AMTTC building was very quiet. Connor is usually very talkative so he must have been very excited, he said.

Connor’s mother, Shanna Morgan, said Connor was born without his right hand and had been waiting about two years to receive a prosthetic hand.

She said the family reached out to an organization before speaking with Central Carolina Engineering Graphics Technology Program Manager David Tuders, but plans with the first group fell through.

Connor first learned that Tuders’ engineering graphics technology class would be creating a prosthetic hand for him during a previous visit two weeks ago.

Tuders surprised Connor with the news while the seventh-grader visited the AMTTC building with a class of sixth-graders from Manning Elementary School.

During his first visit to Tuders’ class, Connor was fitted with a prototype hand which served as a model for the prosthetic that he took home Thursday.

Tuders and his class based Connor’s prosthetic hand on a publicly shared design.

It took a couple of months to understand the designs and know what need-

Connor Morgan watches as David Tuders, Program Manager, Engineering Graphics Technology, adjusts the fit of the prosthetic hand that Central Carolina Tech students 3D printed for him. ed to be done to make the hand work best for Connor, Tuders said.

He said it took the class a week to put together the prosthetic hand, made of about 17 printed parts. The hand was printed in red, Connor’s favorite color, he said.

He also said the engineering graphics technology class will provide prosthetic hands for Connor as he grows.

Tuders said he is thankful that CCTC has the technology needed to create the hand for Connor. “We couldn’t have done this anywhere else,” he said.

In a previous interview, Connor said he never let having one hand slow him down. The prosthetic hand will allow Connor, who is right hand dominant, to climb trees better, something he seemed to really look forward to.

When Connor bends his right wrist,

the fingers of the prosthetic hand will close down toward the palm, allowing him to grasp things.

Connor is home schooled by his grandmother, Bobbi Simeral, who said her grandson had been thinking of things to do when he got his hand since he visited the college.

Connor’s parents said they never told him he could not do things and their son never let having one hand hold him back.

“He’s 100 percent boy,” Shanna said.

She said Connor is always looking for adventure whether that be climbing trees or zip-lining.

Gary said Connor receiving the prosthetic hand was a blessing and he hopes other children with physical issues will feel confident that there is help out there.

Stewart seeks re-election for county chair FROM STAFF REPORTS Dwight Stewart has announced his plan to run for re-election as chairman of Clarendon County Council.

Stewart is a three-term incumbent, having first been elected to the position in 2001.

Stewart said STEWART he has enjoyed serving the people of Clarendon County.

“My fellow council members and I work well together, and Clarendon County continues to progress,” he said. “Changes imposed on the 46 counties by our state government have made funding of government services much more difficult. Thanks to the hard work of our county employees and our fellow elected officials, we have made progress despite funding cuts.”

Under Stewart’s leadership, the county bought and repurposed an old supermarket complex at 411 Sunset Drive into the county administration building.

Weldon Auditorium has been redone in a combined effort between the county and concerned residents who have served on various committees, Stewart said.

Stewart said the county’s water system is being expanded through grants and low-interest loans from U.S. Department of Agriculture.

A $6 million repair and updates were recently completed on Clarendon County Courthouse. Stewart said the administration building and the courthouse were completed with no additional taxes levied on the county’s residents.

“This year we plan to relocate the Department of Social Services and provide for an office and facilities for our coroner,” Stewart said.

“The mission statement of the Clarendon County Government is to manage the resources of our county to provide the best services possible and to promote the health, welfare and education of the citizens. I look forward to continuing that mission,” Stewart said. “I’m especially proud of all of the citizens of Clarendon County in the way we worked together during the recent flood. Many public and private entities worked together to help our county recover.”

Stewart lives in Summerton with his wife, Sherry Martin Stewart. Sherry is employed as director of education at Clarendon Memorial Hospital. They have three married children and seven grandchildren.

Stewart, a native of Florence, graduated from Clemson University with a bachelor’s degree in forestry. He received a reserve officer

commission upon graduation.

He began work with the Georgia Pacific Corporation in 1971 at Alcolu. He left to enter business as a private consulting forester in 1974.

He opened his own business in 1985 in Manning, Dwight L. Stewart Jr. and Associates LLC, and serves a number of private landowners and industrial clients. He is a registered forester in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. He is also a licensed real estate broker in South Carolina and North Carolina and a state certified general real estate appraiser in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia.

He served as council member of Summerton Town Council for 20 years before his election to Clarendon County Council.

Filing for election for county seats opens March 16 at noon and closes March 30 at noon.

Review: S.C. Medicaid agency exposed data to cybertheft risk COLUMBIA (AP) — A four-decadeold computer system and poor safety measures at South Carolina’s Medicaid agency exposed the personal health information of roughly 1 million residents to risk of cybertheft, according to a federal report released Friday.

The findings by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General include that the Medicaid agency did not — at the time of its evaluation in 2013 — have a security plan for its computer system, had no encryption for laptops and had not properly trained employees. The report purposefully did not give specifics.

Director Christian Soura said Thursday that his agency has already implemented the safeguards recom-

mended by the report: “The good news for us is that we’ve taken action on every one of the findings.”

The report notes inspectors found no evidence that any hacking of Medicaid data had occurred.

“Although we did not find evidence that anyone had exploited these weaknesses, exploitation could have resulted,” the report said. “The weaknesses were collectively and, in some cases, individually significant and could have compromised the integrity of the state’s Medicaid program.”

That agency processed $5 billion in claims for 966,602 beneficiaries in 2012, the report states.

The federal review followed the massive hacking at South Carolina’s Revenue Department, which involved information stolen from the electroni-

cally filed tax returns of 3.8 million adults and 700,000 businesses. The 74 gigabytes of stolen data included unencrypted Social Security numbers — of the adults and their 1.9 million dependents — and bank account numbers.

According to the inspector general’s office, it chose South Carolina for review because of the fall 2012 cybercrime at Revenue, a breach earlier that year in the Medicaid agency and concerns about the nation’s oldest computer system for paying Medicaid providers.

The state is in the process of replacing that system, which is between 35 and 40 years old. The new system is not expected to be operating until June 2018, said Soura.

The federal government, which is

funding 90 percent of the cost, should receive formal plans in the coming weeks. Federal approval is required before the state’s contract bidding process can start, he said.

The overhaul is expected to cost more than $100 million total.

Soura said improvements and training will be ongoing to deal with new security threats as technology changes.

In April 2012, a former project manager at his agency was arrested for compiling the data of more than 228,000 Medicaid recipients on a spreadsheet and sending it to his private email account. He was later sentenced to three years of probation and community service.

No one has been arrested for the Revenue hacking.

Benefit BBQ for Boy Scouts set

Artist of the Month draws on folk art influences

BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com

The Sumter Artists Guild February Artist of the Month is Myra Barton, who works in several mediums.

Barton grew up and was educated in Sumter. She received a bachelor of arts degree in speech correction from Columbia College and a master’s degree in speech pathology and audiology from South Carolina State University. She retired in December 2014 from a career as a speech pathologist with Sumter School District.

“I’ve always done art, and I still have a plaster piece I created when I was 10 years old,” Barton said. “The passion generated from the adventurous experiences of creating art is what catapults me to the next creation.”

She cites as one of her influences the late folk artist Clementine Hunter.

“Admiration for (her) work ... influences my use of simplicity and color within many of my works,” Barton said. “I enjoy doing commissioned graphite and handpainted portraits, as well as creating in acrylics and watercolors. I employ engaging lines, lighting, shadows and reflections in my creations and in recent years have begun experimenting with photography.”

She was recently juried into ArtFields 2016, a weeklong, prestigious celebration of visual art that features works in all mediums by artists working in 12 southeastern states. Barton will display a photograph in the festival that fills venues all over the small town of Lake City.

ArtFields has become well known across the country in its three years of existence.

The fifth annual Benefit BBQ for Boy Scouts will be held on March 5 at Sumter County Fairgrounds, 700 W. Liberty St. The event is hosted by the Henry Shelor District of the Boy Scouts of America and South Carolina Barbeque Association. This is an annual fundraiser for the Henry Shelor District.

The district encompasses Sumter, Clarendon and Lee counties. The money raised in ticket sales goes toward the Pee Dee Area Council, which operates the Boy Scouts programs in northeastern South Carolina. The money will help put on events such as Boy Scouts summer camp and the winter and fall “camporees.”

The fun will start on the evening of March 4, with a Friday Night Wing Ding, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

On March 5 will be the main event with a pulled pork competition, with professional judges from SCBA. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Friday evening barbecue teams will offer up chicken wings for judging.

Saturday will be the main event with teams competing for prize money in pulled pork and rib competitions.

Last year’s event attracted 12 teams from across the state and raised about $3,000.

Tickets are $8 for the Friday Night Wing Ding and $10 for the Saturday SCBA Pulled Pork Competition. Tickets for both days can also be purchased for $15.

Tickets can be bought in advance or at the door.

Lowering your blood pressure is simple way to improve heart health

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Lara, who is less then 3-months old and was born with microcephaly, is examined by a neurologist at the Pedro I hospital in Campina Grande, Paraiba state, Brazil. Scientists suspect an outbreak of the Zika virus is behind a surge in a rare birth defect in Brazil, but experts say the evidence is still circumstantial.

How will scientists prove Zika virus is causing birth defects?

BY MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer NEW YORK — Scientists suspect an outbreak of the Zika virus is behind a surge in a rare birth defect in Brazil.

But how are they going to prove it?

Authorities in the South American country were quick to make the link last fall. The health minister last week said he was “absolutely sure” that the mosquito-borne virus is a cause.

But others aren’t so certain.

While the evidence has been mounting, so far it is circumstantial.

“The simple presence of the virus doesn’t mean it caused the birth defect. It means there’s a probability,” said Dr. Arnold Monto, a University of Michigan epidemiologist.

The investigation is still in its early stages. It began after Brazilian doctors noticed an increase last fall in babies with a birth defect called microcephaly, which has a number of causes. The cases closely followed the country’s first outbreak of the tropical virus Zika, which was thought to cause no more than a mild illness that clears up in a week.

Microcephaly hadn’t been seen in past Zika outbreaks.

Babies with the condition have a smaller than normal head and often have a smaller brain that hasn’t developed properly.

Lab tests have detected the virus in the brain tissue of a few babies with microcephaly.

Proving the cause is a bit like prosecuting a murder investigation, with Zika as the apparent killer but a lot of unanswered questions, said Dr. Ernesto Marques, a University of Pittsburgh microbiologist who is collaborating with Brazilian researchers.

“What you have so far, the victim is there, and you find a person right there that has a smoking gun in his hand,” Marques said. “But you still need to close the deal.”

The investigation poses special challenges. There’s currently no good animal substitute for humans to study the virus. And it’s not considered ethical to infect people, especially pregnant women, in an experiment to see what happens — not when there seems to be a real chance that a volunteer could be seriously harmed.

So researchers are turning to other kinds of studies to try to establish whether Zika or some other factor is causing the birth defect or, also, a paralyzing condition called Guillain-Barre. Five Latin American countries with Zika outbreaks are reporting an uptick in that condition in adults.

One method is quick-anddirty research called a casecontrol study, which looks back in time after an illness or condition has occurred. For the birth defect research, that means recruiting a group of women with babies born with microcephaly and trying to sort out what may have happened during their pregnancy to spark the condition. For comparison, they will query women whose infants don’t

‘The simple presence of the virus doesn’t mean it caused the birth defect. It means there’s a probability.’

DR. ARNOLD MONTO University of Michigan epidemiologist have the birth defect.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is involved in one such study set to start next week in the Brazilian state of Paraiba. It will focus on 100 babies with microcephaly and at least 100 more without.

Investigators will take blood samples from the mothers to check for signs of an earlier Zika infection. They also will ask not only about Zika infections but other possible factors, such as other germs or poisons in the environment.

Some experts suggest that perhaps Zika needs an accomplice — like malnutrition or an infection with another tropical illness such as dengue — to cause serious problems.

A similar study, led by Brazil, is investigating 200 babies with microcephaly and 400 without. Results are due in April.

“That will be the first one to tell us if there’s strong evidence,” Dr. Marcos Espinal of the Pan American Health Organization told reporters Thursday.

The CDC was in the coastal city of Salvador last month to help health officials with another look-back study, this one targeting Guillain-Barre. They tested 40 people who had the condition and 80 people who didn’t, said Dr. James Sejvar, who led the CDC team.

Such studies are hardly perfect. People often have trouble remembering every detail

from six months ago — for example, when they might have been bitten by mosquitoes, the primary source of Zika infections.

While these studies can sort out potential causes, experts say they need to be confirmed with research that follows people forward. Colombia, for example, will be following 2,000 Zika-infected pregnant women to see what happens with them and their pregnancies, Espinal said.

In Brazil, Zika’s possible link to microcephaly emerged in September, when a spike in babies born with the condition got the attention of Dr. Vanessa Van der Linden, a pediatric neurologist at a hospital in northeast Recife that works with disabled children.

Initially, Van der Linden and other doctors looked for the usual causes of microcephaly, such as toxoplasmosis, rubella, HIV and cytomegalovirus. None were found.

But most of the mothers had something in common: blotches and skin rashes early in their pregnancies that seemed consistent with Zika.

That was the genesis of the link.

It’s all been difficult to sort out, though, because Brazil wasn’t keeping good track of microcephaly cases before Zika arrived. They’re still determining how many of the reported cases are really microcephaly and involve a Zika infection.

According to the American Heart Association approximately one out of every therMissy ee deaths Corrigan in the U.S. is caused by heart disease and stroke.

Every year an estimated 785,000 Americans will have their first heart attack.

While most Americans need to improve their heart health more than 60 percent of adults do not know their blood pressure or cholesterol numbers. Although heart attacks and strokes can be prevented with healthy diet and exercise, 83 percent of adults aren’t motivated to do anything about it.

Motivated or not, lowering your blood pressure may be one of the simplest ways to improve your heart health. In fact, lowering your blood pressure can help decrease your risk of a heart attack or stroke by 50 percent.

About one out of every three Americans has high blood pressure, 140/90 or higher. Blood pressure is the force your blood makes against the walls of your arteries. The pressure is highest when your heart pumps blood into your arteries, when your heart beats. It is lowest when the heart relaxes between heart beats. Untreated high blood pressure can damage the artery walls, causing them to get stiff and narrow.

This can prevent the heart from getting the blood it needs to work and ultimately causes a heart attack.

A general recommenda-

TIPS FOR SUCCESS • Avoid processed foods; • Consume whole foods; • Exercise; • Don’t smoke; and • Schedule regular doctor visits.

tion to help lower blood pressure is to cut back on salt. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 1500 mg per day. While reducing salt intake can help lower blood pressure there are more factors to consider. Recent research states that one of the underlying causes of high blood pressure is because of the body producing too much insulin in response to a high-carbohydrate, processed-food diet.

Processed foods contain excess sugar and salt. And although salt has been highlighted as the key contributor to high blood pressure, more evidence is pointing to sugar as being more directly related to high blood pressure than salt. One research study in 2010 showed that consuming a high-sugar diet led to an increase in blood pressure higher than a typical high-sodium diet.

While a reduced-salt diet may help some individuals lower their blood pressure, you may want to consider decreasing your sugar intake. The World Health Organization recommends no more than 25 grams of sugar a day for females and 30 grams for males. Be sure to consume plenty of vegetables, fruits, lean proteins and whole grains. Even just minimizing your intake of processed foods can automatically lower your sugar intake.

Ducks making their way across Old Towne Landing waterway

JIM HILLEY / THE SUMTER ITEM

A brood of ducklings swim along with their mother Thursday afternoon at the waterway on Cumberland Way in the Old Towne Landing neighborhood off Purdy Street.

Justice Dept. accuses China requires approval for foreign firms to publish online Apple of ‘repudiating’ cyberspace would pose a risk to domestic security and the government should decide who to allow into “its house.”

“China is still focused more on maintaining the social stability and national security interests when it comes to making policies on the Internet industry, while caring less about the commercial and individual interests,” said Zhang Zhian, the director of the school of communication and design at Sun Yat-sen University.

As part of the new regulations, online publishers must store their content on servers in the mainland, a stipulation

that gives the government expanded legal powers regarding data access and control. Beijing has made similar data storage requirements for technology firms as part of new cybersecurity and national security laws passed in the past year.

Paul Gillis, a visiting professor at Peking University’s Guanghua School of Management who studies Chinese-foreign joint ventures, said China has introduced regulations in recent months that explicitly give authorities censorship powers under the law that they have long had in practice.

VISION CENTER 701 Bultman Drive 803.773.4723

BEIJING (AP) — A new Chinese regulation announced this week will require foreign companies and foreign-Chinese joint ventures to acquire approval before publishing content online, in the government’s latest move to tighten control of the digital realm.

In an apparent countervailing trend born of the need to shore up slowing growth and flagging foreign investment, the government on Friday also announced plans to make it easier for foreigners to live and work in the country under new rules for obtaining permanent residency.

Under the new regulations going into effect March 10, firms with at least part-foreign ownership will be banned from publishing on the mainland text, pictures, maps, games, animation and sound “of informational or thoughtful nature” without approval from the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television.

Chinese law has long required Internet service providers to hold an operating license that can only be obtained in partnership with a Chinese firm, and the new regulations do not represent a wholesale revision of existing rules or practices, experts say.

But the new policies underscore the increasingly restrictive political climate in China, where the leadership has sought to rein in public speech and thought, with an emphatic focus on the country’s fastgrowing Internet industry.

The explosive rise of new media, ranging from social media messaging services to streaming TV shows, for instance, has prompted Chinese censors to introduce a slate of new regulations so it could police digital and social media as closely as it did traditional publications. The country’s top Internet regulator has repeatedly warned that an untamed

order on phone access WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department is firing back at Apple for refusing to help unlock a phone used by one of the gunmen in the San Bernardino attack.

In a new motion Friday, federal prosecutors say the company has chosen to repudiate a judge’s order instead of following it.

The department also says Apple designs its products to allow technology — “rather than the law” — to control

access to critical data.

Prosecutors also make clear that Apple would be allowed to retain possession of the phone and technology.

The motion offers a sharply worded response to a message that Apple’s chief executive officer, Tim Cook, said in a message to Apple customers this week.

It represents a further escalation in a public relations battle that the two sides are waging.

THE SUMTER ITEM

For some, desire to work past 65 can often be problematic

BY ADAM ALLINGTON For The Associated Press YPSILANTI, Mich. — Earl Johnston was 12 when he got his first job, a paper route that he quickly expanded by “buying out” additional routes from other, less industrious boys.

After high school, he enrolled in a program to become an industrial electrician.

“With that journeyman’s card in my back pocket, I had never had trouble finding work — ever,” he said.

Like many people in the prime of their working life Johnston, now 56, always thought he would have plenty set aside for retirement, and if he didn’t, he could always work a little longer. “At least up to 65,” he thought.

What Johnston didn’t plan for was the degenerative spinal condition that made being on his feet for a 12-hour shift all but impossible.

“I could be making lots and lots of money right now, but nobody in manufacturing is going to hire a 50-something guy who can’t stay on his feet,” he said.

Johnston’s story might be chalked up to simple bad luck.

But it serves as an example of

the rapidly changing expectations that seniors have for being able to work well past traditional retirement age, and in some cases, dismissing the idea of retirement altogether.

According to the 2015 Employment Benefit Research Institute Confidence Survey, the percentage of workers aged 25 and over who planned on working past 65 has increased steadily from 11 percent in 1991 to 36 percent in 2015.

But those expectations aren’t always achievable.

The University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study found that 37 percent of respondents didn’t reach the retirement age they had set when they were 58.

“The first, and maybe the most obvious explanation people give for early retirement is health,” said Boston College research economist Geoff Sanzenbacher, co-author of a working paper investigating causes for this mismatch between retirement expectations and reality.

“People don’t fully grasp how big an impact health has on your ability to work. You may be 58 and have some arthritis, but you don’t fully appreciate how much that could affect you

going forward.”

The second most common reason was layoffs or business closings, followed by familial factors, such as a spouse retiring, he said.

The average retirement age has been inching up for years now. People are living longer, tend to be more educated and have better access to white-collar jobs that don’t require a lot of manual labor. Women are also reaching older age with more skills and longer work histories than their mothers and grandmothers.

Even as roughly two-thirds of workers do make it to the age they planned to retire, a report by the Hamilton Project at Brookings Institution suggests that a growing percentage of them are entering retirement on shaky financial footing.

she and her husband were planning to retire.

But Hoffman received notice late in 2015 that she was being let go from her job as a senior trainer for Verizon.

“Right now we just have to re-evaluate,” she says. “Originally we thought we could go South for the winter for a month or two; now I don’t think we’ll be able to do that.”

Between their savings and Social Security, Hoffmann estimates that she might have enough money to retire a few years early. Still, the prospect of unforeseen health care costs is unnerving. And, if she does take a new job, for less pay, she worries it would change her future Social Security payouts.

“Do I go look for a job? Part of me says yes, but I honestly don’t know,” Hoffmann said.

There’s also the perception that working longer is the best way to bridge the gap between retirement needs and resources.

“It’s become a kind of BandAid solution to growing concerns many workers have about retirement readiness,” says Ruth Davis Konigsberg, a contributor to Money.com and a director at Arden Asset Management.

“In some cases, working longer can help, and there certainly are other benefits to working longer, but we can’t just extend our working lives indefinitely.

There is just too much uncertainty in that scenario.”

The year 2018 was going to be a banner year for Karen Hoffmann, 64. That was the year the mortgage on her St. Louis home would be paid off, and

Exit polls showed 4 in 10 voters angry about how Washington is working, and more than half saying they felt betrayed by politicians in the Republican Party.

“I don’t like politicians,” said Jim Jaruszewicz, a 37-year-old radiology technician who voted for Trump. “I don’t trust politicians.”

Trump’s victory capped a week in which he called rivals liars, blamed House Speaker Paul Ryan for the GOP’s loss in the 2012 presidential race, and even tangled with Pope Francis.

more people had come out to vote during the Republican primary than the previous presidential primary election.

She said the increased number of voters could most likely be attributed to the number of Republican candidates vying for the 2016 presidency and the amount of publicity surrounding them.

Jefferson said McCrays Mill 1 and 2 both had more

The wood planks are soaked in water to make them more flexible to construct the ship’s hull.

There are many other time-consuming steps, that require hours of cutting and piecing parts together, including assembling fittings of minute objects, such as model cannons.

One of the most tedious tasks, Bernard said, is arranging the ships’ dozens of lines, which are made of cotton or polyester.

“The wood building is only 50 percent of the job,” he said. “The other 50 percent is the rigging.”

Bernard said he considers himself to be a hobbyist of the craft. However, there are individuals who make a living out of it, called model shipwrights.

The craft goes back to 1500s and 1600s Europe.

When a king of a country

would request a new warship to be constructed, a model of it first had to be built, and presented to his majesty, Bernard said.

“It sort of gave the king some bragging rights when he could show that model of an actual ship being constructed,” he said.

Bernard said he does not sell his ships, although he has had offers from people in the industry, and does not display them at any functions.

“They’re pretty difficult to move because of all of the pieces involved,” he said.

Bernard is also a collector of Zenith transistor radios. He restored the radios for individuals for 14 years but had to stop because of the unavailability of replacement parts.

Efforts intensify to curtail child marriage

BY DAVID CRARY AP National Writer

What’s the status of child marriage in the U.S.?

1995 and 2012, including 178 who were under 15.

In New York State, according to Reiss, 3,853 minors were married between 2000 and 2010. Her figures are drawn from state health department data.

In Virginia, state health statistics show that more than 4,500 minors were married between 2000 and 2013, including about 220 who were 15 or younger.

Such data “should set off alarm bells, not wedding bells,” said Jeanne Smoot, senior counsel for policy with the Tahirih Justice Center in Falls Church, Virginia, which assists women at risk of domestic violence, trafficking and forced marriage.

Reiss — who says she was forced into an abusive marriage by her Orthodox Jewish family when she was 19 — contends that cases of child marriage via parental consent often involve coercion, with a girl forced to marry against her will. She says states generally do not require any investigation of this possibility, and girls are often not asked if they are marrying voluntarily.

COMMENTARY

Clash of titans: Pope vs. Trump

C

OLUMBIA — The popular wisdom that opposites attract is true in both romance and politics.

But rarely do adages prove so profoundly — and absurdly — true as during the recent, media-created dialogue between Pope Francis and Donald Trump.

Set aside for a moment that this mini-uproar, spawned by a reporter’s question and poached by scandalmongers, has largely been put to rest.

The episode was a stellar (celestial?) example of the pitfalls of toKathleen day’s cultureParker media-politics complex — a constellation of supernovas exploding in an accelerating universe in which a repulsive force counteracts the attractive force. Guess who’s who?

Much distilled and slightly paraphrased, here’s how the “conversation” between Trump and Francis went for a news cycle or two: Pope: Anyone who wants to build walls instead of bridges is not a Christian.

Trump: Questioning someone’s Christianity is disgraceful.

Pope: If that’s what Trump really said.

Trump: If ISIS gets the pope, which is the group’s ultimate goal, he’ll wish I had been president because it wouldn’t have happened. ISIS would have been destroyed.

Pope: It wasn’t a personal attack but the Gospel.

Trump: I think he said something much softer than was originally reported by the media.

Heaven forbid, I think Trump may be right.

At first, the exchange, all of which took place through stories ricocheting and pinging around the vast media-verse, seemed a bit nasty. But as the conversation continued and messages began bubbling up in the Magic 8 Ball, things seemed less hostile — and even more ridiculous.

Meanwhile, South Carolinians, whose Republican primary was just a couple of days away when the cycle started, wondered why the pope was getting in their business. The simple answer is that Reuters reporter Phil Pullella specifically asked the pontiff about

Trump’s position on immigration as well as insults aimed at the papal leader: “Republican Donald Trump, in an interview recently said that you are a political man and he even said that you are a pawn, an instrument of the Mexican government for migration politics. Trump said that if he’s elected, he wants to build 2,500 kilometers of wall along the border. He wants to deport 11 million illegal immigrants, separating families, etcetera. ... What do you think of these accusations against you and if a North American Catholic can vote for a person like this?”

To which Francis replied: “Thank God he said I was a politician because Aristotle defined the human person as ‘animal politicus.’ At least I am a human person. As to whether I am a pawn, well, maybe, I don’t know. I’ll leave that up to your judgment and that of the people. And then, a person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel. As far as what you said about whether I would advise to vote or not to vote, I am not going to get involved in that. I say only that this man is not Christian if he has said things like that. We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt.”

You can see why quotes get trimmed. But important to note, Francis didn’t say Trump isn’t a Christian; he did reaffirm that the church doesn’t get involved in elections. Most important, he said the immigration problem can’t be solved by only building walls.

Thus, it was hardly an indictment but an observation related to the Gospel. Otherwise, the flurry that followed focused on Trump’s own inferences based on what he was told. Many in the media, knowing full well the extent of Trump’s several disgraceful remarks about a variety of issues and people, rationally drew their own inferences.

That’s context, too.

Herewith a moral for the story: Let the pope be popey, let Trump be Trumpy, and let the rest of the bunch follow their faiths without fanfare.

COMMENTARY

Circus moves on, but shouting continues S

outh Carolina had a wild ride on the big stage these past few weeks.

The national press treats the Palmetto State as the land of political dirty tricks which, the tired theory goes, were invented by the late Lee Atwater.

It’s an easy reporting narrative to pick up on – and lazy – but that’s the nature of political writing on the fly. You get mildly plagiaristic statements that pass as generally accepted fact. Then it’s all repeated by the TV commentators, whose latest infectious disease is to start each sentence with, “So,” “Listen,” or “Look.”

Try counting the times you hear those three words.

It’s an epidemic.

All those nasty TV ads Graham and direct mail pieces we’ve Osteen been bombarded with are done by “creative outsiders” who work for political action committees — super PACs — which exist to raise unlimited sums of money from corporations, unions, associations and individuals, then spend unlimited sums smearing each other. Learn more at www.opensecrets.org.

The people of South Carolina have nothing to do with it. We’re polite.

And if all those creative geniuses used more local newspaper print and online advertising to get substantive messages across to informed voters, their candidates might even come across as mildly trustworthy.

There will be endless analysis of the results over the next few days, and I can’t wait to see how it all plays out.

There are some large historic themes at work this year, and the most prevalent one involves understanding the nature of “Trumpism.”

Here’s an excerpt from an essay in last week’s Wall Street Journal by the famous author Charles Murray, who has written extensively about modern American civilization.

It’s titled, “Trump’s America.”

He writes, “If you are dismayed by Trumpism, don’t kid yourself that it will fade away if Donald Trump fails to win the Republican nomination. Trumpism is an expression of the legitimate anger that many Americans feel about the course that the country has taken, and its appearance was predictable. It is the endgame of a process that has been going on for a half-century: America’s divestment of its historic national identity.”

He discusses the original “American creed” as being rooted in “egalitarianism, liberty and individualism,” but points out that we’re in danger of losing that as a nation for a variety of reasons.

Pretty heavy stuff, but it’s nothing President John Kasich won’t be able to solve in 2017.

••• On a related note, I managed to catch some grief last week after writing about why I think Ohio Gov. John Kasich is the clear choice for president — http://bit.ly/1L1fyy7 — but not for reasons you would expect.

My lovely bride of 33 years read the column and had one astute observation. She said, “Honey, it’s Valentine’s Day. Do I not even get a shout out? What about your mother? Or my mother? Or your daughter? Or your sisters-in-law? Or your nieces?”

I’ve always been skeptical about that socalled holiday, and have my own set of conspiracy theories involving greeting card companies and florists. But I also know that men ignore V-Day at our own peril.

So for the wonderful wives, mothers, daughters, sisters-in-law, nieces, sweethearts and significant others, please accept a belated “Happy Valentine’s Day.” Graham Osteen is editor-at-large of The Sumter Item.

A growth message, not catfights, will propel the GOP

BY LARRY KUDLOW

COMMENTARY

In the week leading up to the New Hampshire primary, a few GOP candidates put forth a strong, positive, optimistic message of economic growth.

Donald Trump did it, and it contributed to his landslide. John Kasich did it, and he surged to second place. Jeb Bush put his best growth foot forward, and he nearly took third place. Others, not so much, and their numbers sagged.

Growth is the No. 1 issue of this presidential campaign — even beating out national security, which is, of course, very important.

As Wall Street Journal columnist Bill McGurn recently put it, “A growing economy means a growing standard of living. ... That translates into more dreams fulfilled for more Americans, whether that means a college degree, a home in a decent neighborhood, or just the certainty that your children will do even better than you did.”

In other words, strong economic growth leads to aspirational confidence for all people but particularly the middle class, which is in revolt.

Charles Murray has written about a beleaguered working class, telling us that it is falling away. They are angry at the so-called ruling class. They are getting a smaller bite of the economic pie, which itself is barely growing.

This is why the Republican candidates, who have barely mentioned growth in the run-up to the South Carolina primary, look so uninspired. They have stopped speaking to the worries, crankiness and anger of the middle class.

Whatever happened between New Hampshire and South Carolina, the GOP has lost its growth message. Instead, the race has become a big catfight. Candidates snarling at each other.

Charges of lying and dirty tricks. Fake images in campaign ads. Underhanded push-pull phone banks. Yelling at each other for something somebody said last year, or three years ago, or twenty years ago. This is not about growth.

A new poll from John McLaughlin, of national polling firm McLaughlin & Associates, reveals that the Republican rank and file don’t even like their leaders. Donald Trump comes out ahead in McLaughlin’s likeability scale for the GOP. But even while leading, some polls show Trump is losing ground.

Columnist Fred Barnes frets that the Republican rift will not be healed and that the prospect of a GOP triumph this November is fading. He worries that Republicans are campaigning to lose.

But the central reason for this is that they’ve lost the optimistic and winning message of economic growth.

Economist John H. Cochrane of the Hoover Institution at Stanford writes in a recent essay that “Sclerotic growth is

the overriding economic issue of our time. From 1950 to 2000, the U.S. economy grew at an average rate of 3.5 percent per year. Since 2000, it has grown at half that rate, 1.7 percent.”

Here’s how important that is for the middle class: From 1952 to 2000, real income per person in the U.S. rose from $16,000 to $50,000. But as Cochrane notes, if the American economy grew by only 2 percent per year over that period, rather than 3.5 percent, real incomes for the average person would have risen to only $23,000, not $50,000.

So with less than 2 percent growth in the last 15 years, real-income progress has been stopped.

The GOP should be quoting some of these numbers and hammering home the point. Reagan used statistics. But no one is using them now.

West Ashley’s Hodije, fast guards doom defending champ Sumter in 49-45 second-round loss

BY EDDIE LITAKER Special To The Sumter Item Sumter High School won the first half of its 3A boys basketball second-round state playoff game with West Ashley on Saturday, but an 8-0 Wildcat run to open the second half began what would turn out to be a back-andforth finish.

In the end, it was West Ashley that came out on top 49-45 thanks largely to a 24point effort from David Hodije, who connected for six 3-pointers against the Gamecocks.

With the win, the Wildcats improved to 20-4 heading into the next round against South Aiken, a 66-64 winner over South Florence on Saturday.

For Sumter head coach Shawn Jones, it was a frustrating finish to a season in which the Gamecocks hoped to play for a second consecutive state championship.

“It was matchups. They had real small guards, quick,” said Jones, whose team closed with a 16-7 record. “No. 5 (Hodije), man, he had a great night tonight. That was pretty much it. Tough matchup for us. I thought we had an advantage in size, but we just couldn’t get it in there like we wanted to. We had three or four free throws down there at the end that we should have made. It’s going to be a hard out for whoever has got them next because of how quick their guards are and how they penetrate. We really couldn’t get good looks inside.”

Sumter got off to a quick start, scoring nine straight after an opening basket by West Ashley. Then Hodije hit his first two 3s to pull the visitors within one, 9-8, at the end of one.

The Gamecocks quickly went back up by six, 15-9, after Cedric Rembert banked in a trey at the 5:35 mark of the second. Sumter maintained the lead through the remainder of the half, with West Ashley pulling within one on two occasions. A Kenyatta Jenkins basket with 26 seconds to go pulled the Wildcats within three, 21-18.

After the 8-0 run to open the second half, which put West KEITH GEDAMKE / THE SUMTER ITEM Ashley up 26-21, Sumter answered with an Andrew Tiller Sumter’s Raymond Jackson, left, tries to get a shot off as Wes Ashley’s Myron Hill defends during

Carrera’s big night lifts Carolina over Gators in OT

By PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press COLUMBIA — Michael Carrera is confident the darkest days are behind South Carolina. He’s glad he’s had the chance to make that happen.

Carrera had 20 points including the go-ahead foul shots in overtime to lead the Gamecocks to a 73-69 victory over Florida on Saturday.

“Everybody had bad days, everybody has good days,” Carrera said. “Now, I think we’re getting on track for the good days. Let’s see what we’ve got.”

With Carrera, the Gamecocks (22-5, 9-5 Southeastern Conference) have plenty. He had 15 rebounds for his ninth

double-double this season, adding three steals and three blocks as South Carolina ended Florida’s seven-game series win streak.

Gamecocks coach Frank Martin said Carrera, the 6-foot-5 senior with ridiculously long arms, has never before been a team’s centerpiece performer. But Carrera’s grit, hustle and ability to shake off criticism and fire back on all cylinders has him fueling the team’s best run in a decade.

“This is a new chapter in his career,” Martin said. “And for going through it the first time, he’s doing pretty darn well.”

As is South Carolina which overcame a game of wild

Rashaad Robinson scores 31 in LMA win ’Cats knock off ACS 69-55 in first round

BY DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com The Sumter Civic Center basketball court was Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood on Saturday night.

Laurence Manning Academy’s Rashaad Robinson scored 31 points, 27 of them in the first half, as the Swampcats defeatEPPS ed Augusta Christian School 69-55 in the first round of the SCISA 3A state playoffs.

The victory sends LMA, the lower No. 3 seed, on to the quarterfinals on Wednesday at Sumter Civic Center. Laurence Manning, which improved to 18-9 on the season, will take on lower No. 2 Heathwood Hall at 3:30 p.m.

The Lions, the lower No. 6 seed, finished with a 10-16 record.

ACS had no real answer for Robinson. He was hitting his jump shot consistently and was getting to the basket off the dribble with ease, either going in for a layup or getting fouled. He was 7-for-9 from the free throw line and also drained a pair of 3-point baskets.

“He was determined tonight,” Swampcats head coach Will Epps said of Robinson.

“When he’s determined like that, plays disciplined and does what the coaches ask him to do, he’s something special.”

Robinson opened the game by burying a trey, but that didn’t deter ACS in the early

Gibbs has solid chance to snap skid

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — It’s been 23 years since Joe Gibbs celebrated a Daytona 500 victory. Standing in his way now is a lineup as formidable as Howie Long, Marcus Allen and the 1983 Raiders.

Gibbs has four gibbs strong chances Sunday to earn a second Daytona 500 victory, and his stable of Toyotas has been among the strongest cars during Speedweeks. The main competition comes from Daytona’s favorite son — two-time 500 winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his Hendrick Motorsports teammates.

Denny Hamlin and reigning Sprint Cup champion Kyle Busch already have given Gibbs a pair of wins this week at Daytona International Speedway. But the three-time Super Bowl winning coach has had his heart broken nearly two dozen times since Dale Jarrett took Joe Gibbs Racing to victory lane at Daytona in 1993.

daytona 500

After missing last year, Buschs back in Daytona

By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Kyle Busch was stuck in a hospital bed, the Daytona 500 just a race on TV. Busch smiled for a photo with his dog and wife. He tweeted his support for Joe Gibbs Racing.

He was more hopeful of a comeback from broken bones than a championship.

Just a few blocks away a day earlier at NASCAR headquarters, Kurt Busch faced a final appeals panel, trying to get a suspension overturned for his role in a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend. He climbed into a waiting SUV that sped off, squealing its tires.

Busch did not watch the Daytona 500.

Both Busch brothers were out of “The Great American Race” for the first time since 2000.

Fast forward a year, and Kurt Busch’s hiatus was a bump in what would become his best season in years. He won two races and earned a spot in NASCAR’s playoffs.

He tweeted a photo Friday night with his fiance having a blast at a private party hosted by Jeff Gordon.

And Kyle?

“Champ! Champ!”

The 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup champion hears the yells from fans everywhere he goes at Daytona International Speedway.

“I’m nowhere near Junior’s (Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s) level, which is good,” Busch said. “It’s definitely not a bad thing.”

It sure beats where he was this time last season.

The brothers are back, each a Cup champ and among the small group of favorites today in the season opener.

Kyle will slide in the No. 18 Toyota on Sunday, a year after he crashed into a concrete wall the day before the Daytona 500 and broke his right leg and left foot.

He’s still in championship form, winning a qualifying race during Speedweeks.

gibbs

From Page B1 Gibbs isn’t used to losing — his only Super Bowl defeat was to the Raiders a decade before he won NASCAR’s version of the big game — and he has made it clear he wants a win in NASCAR’s season opener.

“There’s always pressure from Coach,” Carl Edwards said. “Coach wants to win everything.”

JGR’s lone defeat during Speedweeks came in the first qualifying race, with Earnhardt passing Hamlin with ease for the victory. Afterward, Earnhardt raved about his car — nicknamed “Amelia Earhart” because he feels unbeatable in that speedy Chevrolet. Amelia has won four of six races over 13 months and never finished lower than third.

“This car is something special,” Earnhardt said.

It’s often difficult to figure out who is the class of the field leading into the 500 because no one knows who may be playing it close to the vest. But JGR and Hendrick have the most speed, and proved it when rookie Chase Elliott put Jeff Gordon’s famed No. 24 Chevrolet on the pole next to Gibbs driver Kenseth.

Elliott, the 20-year-old son of Hall of Famer Bill Elliott, could have his hands full in his first 500. He raced against teammate Earnhardt in the qualifying event, and Earnhardt warned him to be selfish on the track.

“I told Chase on the start-

The Associated Press

Crew members work on Kyle Busch’s car on Saturday during practice for today’s Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. “I don’t necessarily feel any redemption,” Busch said. “I think if I could end up in victory lane on Sunday, then I certainly think it would kind of come full circle, essentially. I’d love to have that happen, but I’m not expecting anything from the racetrack or the racing gods to make that happen.”

Busch withstood multiple surgeries, went through a grueling rehabilitation program and missed only 11 races. He got back in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota in late May, and NASCAR granted him a waiver to race for the title should he earn a berth in the playoffs.

He won the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway to claim the title, and knocked Kevin Harvick from his perch as champion.

“It’s great to see both Busch brothers with a championship trophy,” Kurt said.

Kurt Busch won the title in 2004, the inaugural season of NASCAR’s Chase format. The system has been tweaked several times and starts the third year of an elimination format that sends four drivers to Homestead to race for the title. He drives the No. 41 Chevy for Stewart-Haas Racing.

Kurt congratulated Kyle on joining him to the Cup Club, but the brothers, who are not super close, did little celebrating together.

“I could tell you from times before when the championship celebration is so busy, it’s hard,” Kurt said. “There was one quick moment where I was able to give him a hug, tell him how proud of him I was. The schedule just keeps you grinding and grinding and grinding.

“I was real happy for him, but there wasn’t much time.”

The Buschs have made names for themselves through the years as much for their prickly personalities as their talent in stock cars.

Known as one of most talented drivers in the sport, Kyle’s temperament often got in his own way. But he has mellowed with marriage, gained perspective after the Daytona wreck, and was determined to be on his feet in the delivery room when wife Samantha gave birth to their first child, a boy born in May — right after the driver returned to the race car and celebrated his 30th birthday.

She was by his side every step of his recovery and never complained when their bedroom underwent an extreme makeover into a hospital wing.

“It was quite chaotic and I’m sure it was tough,” Kyle said, “but she’s a tough cookie as well, too. I think it made us stronger, closer together.”

fearless in restrictor-plate races, but the 22-year-old had trouble getting other drivers to trust him enough to draft with him last fall at Talladega.

It was a struggle as well in Thursday’s qualifying race, when he came from a lap down in the Wood Brothers’ famed No. 21 Ford to finish third. But he’s a de facto teammate to Team Penske drivers Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano, the defending Daytona 500 winner, and should the Fords figure out an effective game plan, they may be able to disrupt the Gibbs and Hendrick juggernaut.

USCS baseball splits twinbill with Harford CC Jake Trejo allowed just three hits and retired the last 12 batters he faced to help the University of South Carolina Sumter baseball team earn a 4-0 victory over Harford Community College on Saturday in Game 2 of a doubleheader at Riley Park.

A combination of walks and errors helped Harford score seven runs across the third and fourth innings of Game 1 to earn a 13-3 victory.

With the split, USCS improves to 5-3 on the season.

The Fire Ants also split with the Newberry College junior varsity team on Thursday, winning the first game 8-7 before dropping the second 9-4.

Trejo struck out five, walked one and didn’t allow a baserunner after a leadoff double in the third inning. Zach Mosay got the save after pitching the seventh inning and striking out two.

USC Sumter scored one run in the third, one in the fifth and two runs in the sixth on no hits. Dillon Hefner was 2-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored. William Thomas was 1-for-1 with a run driven in and Mickey Dugan also had an RBI. In the opening game, Austin Hawley (0-1) took the loss.

The 10 players within three shots of the lead include Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama.

Johnson, a runner-up each of the last two years at Riviera, had a 68 and was one shot behind along with Jason Kokrak (70) and Chez Reavie (69).

The Fire Ants jumped to a 3-0 lead after one inning. Tee Dubose went 2-4 with a run scored and Derrick Parnell had a solo homer.

But a combination of walks and errors helped Harford score four runs in the third and three more in the fourth to take a 7-3 lead. The Owls added three more in the fifth and three more in the seventh.

The two teams will finish a 4-game series today with another twinbill beginning at 10 a.m. at Riley Park.

Elliott took the lead from Joey Logano on the final restart with 13 laps to go and held off the fellow Sprint Cup regular on the last lap. Logano got a strong run on the outside a few hundred feet from the finish line and then banged the side of Elliott’s No. 88 Chevrolet several times, but he couldn’t get past.

Elliott, who will start the Daytona 500 from the pole, edged Logano by 0.043 seconds. It was Logano’s third

South Carolina manufactured a run in the third to take a 2-run lead. Cullen led off with a base hit, his first in a Gamecock uniform. With one out and Cullen on third base, Marcus Mooney set down a perfect suicide squeeze to give the Gamecocks a 2-0 advantage.

teams wary over cap

By TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press

MIAMI — In past years, a team like the Toronto Raptors almost certainly would have been looking to add some help for the stretch run.

They’re holding down second place in the Eastern Conference, have been one of the league’s hottest teams for the last month and seem poised to make a significant playoff push.

Yet on this trade-deadline day, they did nothing.

They weren’t alone. For the most part, Thursday’s deadline came and went with most NBA teams seeming cautious, with the huge rise in the salary cap for next season — and the uncertainty of how the free-agent market will react to that over the summer — deterring clubs from making moves that might adversely affect their flexibility going forward.

“Yes, we are in a different situation from last year,” Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri said.

He was talking about his team. He may as well have been talking about the league, where there’s a clear wait-and-see approach about how the massive cap jumps that are coming will inevitably change the way teams go about their business. This season’s cap was a record $70 million. That seems like pocket change when compared to how next season will likely top $90 million, and a cap of $110 million or more for 2017-18 is possible.

“The spike is something we’re all aware of ... as we’re thinking about things and trying to create more financial opportunities in the coming summer, for us to grow and get better,” Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer said. “I’m sure every team is similar.”

There were several deals Thursday, but no blockbusters.

Cleveland landed Channing Frye and the Los Angeles Clippers got Jeff Green for perhaps the two biggest player moves among contending teams.

Rowan’s 20 points lead Wolpack past Tigers The Associated Press

The Associated Press

Villanova’s Josh Hart (3) goes up for a dunk against Butler during the top-ranked Wildcats’ 77-67 victory on Saturday in Villanova, Pa.

Villanova posts 7th straight with 77-67 win over Butler VILLANOVA, Pa. (AP) — Josh Hart had 22 points and 12 rebounds and Kris Jenkins added 20 points to lead No. 1 Villanova over Butler, 77-67 on Saturday.

It was the seventh straight victory for the Wildcats (243, 13-1 Big East).

Kelan Martin scored 19 points for Butler (18-9, 7-8).

It was the first time in Villanova history that a No. 1 team played at the Pavilion, the Wildcats’ on-campus home.

Hart, Villanova’s leading scorer at 14.8 points per game, struggled in the last two contests, scoring a combined 11 points on 3-for-15 shooting in wins over St. John’s and Temple. But he came alive against Butler, particularly in the second half when he scored 13 points.

Hart finished 8 for 16 from the field, including 3 for 8 from the behind arc.

(2) KANSAS 72 KANSAS STATE 63

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Frank Mason III scored 15 points, Perry Ellis added 14 and Kansas escaped after blowing most of a 17-point lead in the second half.

Wayne Selden Jr. also scored 12 for the Jayhawks (23-4, 11-3 Big 12), who needed a jumper from Devonte Graham and some free throws down the stretch to secure their first win at Kansas State in three years.

Stephen Hurt and Barry Brown scored 13 points apiece for Kansas State (1512, 4-10), which got within 65-62 with less than 2 minutes to go. But that’s when Graham knocked down his first basket after five straight misses, and the Jayhawks pulled away from the foul line.

(3) OKLAHOMA 76

The Tar Heels were coming off Wednesday’s crushing 74-73 loss to the Blue Devils, a game in which they led nearly all night only to lose control in the final 3 minutes. And that allowed the Hurricanes (21-5, 10-4) to climb into a first-place tie in the conference and set up a critical game in a wide-open league title chase.

Six players scored in double figures, while the Tar Heels made 9 of 20 3-point attempts only days after going 1 for 13 from behind the arc against the Blue Devils. UNC also dominated the glass by a 46-29 margin, committed just nine turnovers and flirted with its second 100-point performance this season.

(8) XAVIER 88 GEORGETOWN 70

WASHINGTON — Xavier broke open a tight game by making 12 of its first 13 shots after halftime, and Edmond Sumner finished with a career-best 22 points.

Xavier (24-3, 12-3 Big East) played far better than during a home loss to Georgetown a month ago.

After shooting only 35 percent in that setback, the Musketeers wound up at 54 percent Saturday, including the near-perfect stretch to open the second half. After leading 35-33 at halftime, Xavier scored 13 consecutive points coming out of the break and eventually went ahead by as many as 21.

Georgetown (14-14, 7-8) has lost three straight and six of seven.

House made both free throws to give A&M a 77-76 lead. Skal Labissiere hit one of two foul shots for Kentucky (20-7, 10-4) to tie it before the final possession.

ST. BONAVENTURE 79

RALEIGH, N.C. — Maverick Rowan scored 17 of his 20 points in the second half to help North Carolina State beat Clemson 77-74 on Saturday.

Abdul-Malik Abu added 17 points and 16 rebounds for the Wolfpack (14-13, 4-10 Atlantic Coast Conference), who won their third consecutive home game.

Caleb Martin had 16 points off the bench for N.C. State.

Jaron Blossomgame scored a career-high 33 points to lead Clemson (16-11, 9-6). Sidy Djitte added 12 points and eight boards for the Tigers.

The Wolfpack won despite a subpar shooting performance by point guard Anthony Barber. The ACC’s leading scorer at 23.7 points, Barber scored a season-low eight points on 1-of-12 shooting from the field.

Barber missed his first nine shots before banking in a floater to extend N.C. State’s lead to 66-61 with 5:27 to play.

Rowan made a 3-pointer on N.C. State’s first possession of the game, but he was silent for the rest of the first half. That changed in a big way after halftime.

Clemson took a 40-35 lead after back-to-back 3-pointers to open the second half, but Rowan ignited a 16-6 run with

12 points for the Wolfpack.

He delivered a 3-pointer and a jumper to tie the score at 40.

Three minutes later, he made a 3-pointer and two other jumpers on consecutive possessions to give N.C. State a 51-46 lead with 12:29 to play.

Clemson trailed 71-63 with 3:30 remaining, but Blossomgame brought his team back. He scored all of the points in a 7-0 run for the Tigers, cutting N.C. State’s lead to 71-70 on a 3-point play with 2:14 remaining.

But Rowan answered with a jumper from the left wing to extend N.C. State’s lead to three, and Avry Holmes missed a 3-point try for Clemson at the other end.

TIP-INS Clemson: Blossomgame scored at least 22 points for the sixth time in the last seven games. . The Tigers missed a chance to reach 10 victories through 15 ACC games for the first time since the ACC expanded to a 16-game conference schedule in 1991-92.

N.C. State: Barber took a rare break midway through the first half, resting for more than three minutes. He had played at least 38 minutes in eight consecutive games. . Abu had 10 points, including three dunks, and nine rebounds in the first half.

(15) DAYTON 72

DAYTON, Ohio — Jaylen Adams matched his career high with 31 points and hit the big shots in the final 36 seconds to lead St. Bonaventure to its first road win over a ranked team in its history.

Adams’ 3-pointer with 36 seconds to go snapped a 72-72 tie. He added four free throws in the closing seconds to help the Bonnies (187, 10-4 Atlantic 10) pull off an improbable win.

The Flyers (21-5, 11-3) were coming off a 79-70 loss at Saint Joseph’s on Wednesday. They hadn’t lost consecutive games in their last 77, the third-longest active streak behind Villanova and Kansas. Plus, the Flyers hadn’t lost a home conference game since Jan. 29, 2014, winning 20 in a row.

(18) LOUISVILLE 71 (20) DUKE 64

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Damion Lee scored 24 points, including three 3-pointers during Louisville’s furious second-half rally from a 13point deficit.

Louisville trailed 44-31 with 17:10 remaining before battling back and using an 8-0 run with consecutive 3s

by Lee and a slam by Jaylen Johnson for a 58-55 lead. Lee added another long-range shot and Johnson made a jumper to make it 63-59 before a final game-changing sequence for the Cardinals (21-6, 10-4 Atlantic Coast Conference).

(25) BAYLOR 78 (24) TEXAS 64

AUSTIN, Texas — Johnathan Motley scored 24 points on 12-of-13 shooting to lead Baylor.

The win puts the Bears in a solid position in third place in the Big 12 with an outside chance to play for the regular-season title with four games left.

Motley, who has become a starter as senior forward Rico Gathers has struggled with the flu, had his second huge game in a week. He scored 27 points in an overtime win over Iowa State.

Motley had a perfect game going until missing a 14-footer with 1:15 left to play.

The Bears (20-7, 9-5) shot 63 percent from the field.

Taurean Prince added 17 points for Baylor, which led by as many as 27 points midway through the second half.

From Page B1 swings — it lead 30-13 early, trailed 39-32 in the second half and 69-68 in overtime — to emerge with its most victories since the 2005-06 team went 2315.

And it was Carrera’s free throws with 1:36 to go in overtime that gave the Gamecocks the lead for good, 70-69.

Florida, trailing 72-69, had a chance to tie in the final 10 seconds, but Chris Chiozza missed a 3-pointer.

Gators coach Mike White said he hoped to spring Dorian Finney-Smith for a 3, but South Carolina’s defense forced a long outside shot. “We let up,” White said. “Let a huge opportunity slip away.”

Sindarius Thornwell added 17 points for South Carolina.

Finney-Smith had 18 points and 13 rebounds for the Gators.

The Florida senior had a chance to end things in regulation, but missed a foul shot that left the game tied with 20 seconds remaining.

Laimonas Chatkevicius had 13 points, four of those in the extra period, for the Gamecocks.

Thornwell put South Carolina ahead 43-42 with 11:08 left and set up a back-and-forth contest down the stretch.

There were 11 lead changes the rest of the way until Carrera’s go-ahead foul shots in overtime.

Florida and South Carolina entered looking to stay in the hunt near the top of the SEC, both teams tied with Texas A&M in third place.

And it was the Gamecocks, coming off two straight defeats for the first time all season, who got off to the best start and built a 30-13 lead on Marcus Stroman’s driving

layup with 7:13 left in the half.

That’s when the Gators caught fire, using a 20-0 run to head to the locker room up 3330.

TIP-INS Florida: Dorian FinneySmith has five games this season with 20 or more points and eight or more rebounds. That’s the most for the Gators since Marreese Speights had seven such games in 2007-08.

South Carolina: The Gamecocks 20-win turnaround season has been fueled by rebounds. They lead the SEC in offensive rebounds at more than 14 a game. However, they only won the battle of the offensive boards once in the past three games — and that came last Saturday in an 89-62 loss to Kentucky.

CORE PLAYERS South Carolina’s win over Florida was fueled by its upperclass core of seniors Michael Carrera, Laimonas Chatkevicius and Mindaugas Kacinas, plus juniors Sindarius Thornwell and Duane Notice.

The five played 196 of a possible 225 minutes and scored all but four of the Gamecocks points. “Those core guys, they stood up tall today,” South Carolina coach Frank Martin said.

LONG TRIP The families of seniors Laimonas Chatkevicius and Mindaugas Kacinas, both from Lithuania, are in town the next two weeks to watch their sons play basketball. For Chatkevicius, it was his first start since late January after coming off the bench the past six games. “It was great being in the starting lineup. It feels good to play in front of my mom for the first time,” Chatkevicius said. “And it’s even better that we won.”

And I’m To that end, manager Joe more than willing to make Maddon plans to bring him those sacrifices to be better for along slowly in spring training my team.”

LAKELAND, Fla. — If the question about Miguel Cabrera is how much longer he can be great, then the question about J.D. Martinez is even more tantalizing: How great can he become?

The 28-year-old Martinez enters his third season with the Detroit Tigers after emerging as one of the American League’s top power threats. Since being released

by Houston in March of 2014, Martinez has been one of baseball’s biggest surprises, hitting 61 home runs over the past two years. With some of Detroit’s biggest stars now showing signs of age, Martinez is a major reason the Tigers can still hope to contend in the AL Central.

And he still has room to improve.

“I definitely feel that my mental side of the game could be stronger. The difference in my eyes between superstar

players and All-Star players is right here,” Martinez said, pointing to his head. “When you watch Miggy, and the way he handles his business, he looks like he’s joking and he’s playing around all the time, but the moment he gets in that box, he’s a different animal.”

When the Tigers signed Martinez to a minor league deal in 2014, they could hardly imagine what an important addition he would become. He was called up to the majors about a month later and hit 23 home runs in 123 games, helping Detroit to a fourth straight division title.

This offseason, the Tigers and Martinez agreed on an $18.5 million, two-year contract that took care of the outfielder’s last two years of arbitration eligibility. He can become a free agent after the 2017 season.

At spring training Saturday, Martinez described contract talks as a “negotiating battle” but said it’s part of the game.

“I wouldn’t have signed it if I didn’t think it was a fair deal,” he said. “I didn’t want to start off the year on a negative note, going to arbitration.”

Martinez and the Tigers didn’t agree on a longer deal, so Detroit might lose him in a couple years, but for now, the Tigers have a slugger in his late 20s for a price well below what they’re paying some of their other standouts.

Martinez isn’t taking his success for granted. He said he gets antsy if he goes too long without doing something baseball related, so even during the offseason, he was back swinging the bat in November.

“This game is weird in a sense that, the moment you think you’ve got it figured out, it’ll humble you real quick. It’ll step on you,” he said. “I’m a worker. That’s always how I’ve been.

During the free program, Arnold will talk about how he got his start in music and the many famous musicians with whom he has played and sung.

For more older brother about Mac Arnold, visit Leroy, who the official website, www.macarnold.com. used materials found on the family farm. The body of the guitar was made of an actual empty, 5-gallon, metal gas can.

Roots and blues music writer, blues and jazz DJ, educator and advocate Clair DeLune noted in her book, “South Carolina Blues,” that “making the most of what a person has by using what he or she has got in creative ways has been a survival technique for blues musicians through the ages.”

Arnold will bring his gas can guitar, along with other more conventional instruments, to the library to demonstrate and perform.

The musician’s long career began when he was very young. His high school band often had the now legendary but then unknown James Brown sitting in on piano. When he was 24 Arnold played with Muddy Waters’ band, with regular guests Eric Clapton, Paul Butterfield, Mike Bloomfield and other guitar greats. The band also appeared frequently on the same ticket with Howlin’ Wolf, Junior Wells, Big Mama Thornton (who first recorded “Hound Dog”) and others.

Eventually, Arnold started his own band, the Soul Invaders, which backed B.B. King and the Temptations, then he worked at ABC with Redd Foxx, on Soul Train and with Bill Withers during the early to mid-1970s. In the ’80s he came back to South Carolina, where he farms, but he continues to be in demand for performances with his band, Plate Full O’ Blues.

The band’s name was likely influenced by his dedication to growing organic foods on his farm and by his Dr.

EDUCATION Sumter School District CHORUS RECEIVES DONATIONS The Crestwood High School chorus received $11,000 in donations for its trip to Carnegie Hall in New York City in May. The chorus was invited to perform as part of a unique opportunity provided by MidAmerica Productions.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Moore, grandparents of a Crestwood student, told attorney William Rip Rose about the opportunity the Crestwood students have to perform at Carnegie Hall and the need for funding for the trip. Rose provided a $10,000 check from the Hobbs Foundation for the students.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles “Chuck” Fienning heard the chorus perform at their church and were impressed with the talent they saw. They too wanted to help the students reach their goal and presented a check to the chorus for $1,000.

Both presentations were held during the Sumter School District Board of Trustees meeting at Crestwood on Feb. 8.

In the letter of invitation issued to Crestwood Choral Director Deborah Horton from Sonja Sepulveda, guest conductor and program development associate with MidAmerica, she wrote, “This outstanding educational experience and performance in a world renowned venue is one that will not soon be forgotten. It brings honor to your school, but also leaves your students with the courage to dream big and to be brave enough to accomplish anything.”

The chorus will continue to prepare and plan for the upcoming trip throughout the spring semester. For others interested in seeing them perform locally or to make a donation, contact Horton at Crestwood High School at (803) 469-6200.

The fine arts program in Sumter School District is thriving. The 21 students from the three Sumter School District high schools who made the South Carolina All-State Chorus were recognized and performed during the meeting as well. These students will perform under the direction of a guest choral clinician in March at Winthrop University. The Lakewood High School chorus, who traveled to Carnegie Hall during the spring of 2015, is directed

by Herbert Johnson. The Sumter High School chorus is directed by Ashley Poole.

INTERIMS ISSUED Interims will be issued on Wednesday indicating grades through the first half of the third quarter. Parents with

ward and share those responsibilities. Your husband appears to think that being a “bud” is more fun than being a father. Making you the “bad mommy” while he is the “good guy” is unfair not only to you, but also to your son.

The two of you should have already formed a united front when it comes to discipline. If this is allowed to continue, your boy will play each of you against the other — if he isn’t already — and your problems are only starting.

Clarendon School District 1 SCOTT’S BRANCH MIDDLE / HIGH SCHOOL Scott’s Branch New Tech students are in the business of project-based learning. Students in Harold

Ehnhuus’ science classes are increasing their knowledge of specific science content while enhancing their critical thinking ability through the use of PBL. The students are also boosting their written and oral communication skills through problem solving and collaborating with peers. Working together allows students to use soft skills which are vitally needed in the business world. One science project created by students includes digital posters which illustrate science concepts. These posters depicting science concepts will be available online for download for a licensing fee. To create the digital posters, students established “Design Teams.” Then they determined their levels of expertise through a brainstorming process called “Knows and Need to Knows,” which allowed students to determine how to best pursue a plan of action to create their projects. Group projects vary in size and depth covering a variety of topics. Upon completion of the final products, students presented their projects to an audience, which furthermore enhanced their public speaking skills. After feedback from peers, positive or negative, it was back to the drawing board to polish their work into their final product. Results were phenomenal as these digital posters are now a reality. — Beverly Spry

USC Sumter ESPORTS BRINGS EXCITEMENT USC Sumter has launched a brand new eSports team.

USC Sumter will specifically be competing in the game League of Legends, a multiplayer online battle arena game with 27 million players daily.

“We believe gamers at this level are extremely competitive, dedicated students paving the way for a new classification of athletes,” said USC Sumter Dean Michael Sonntag. “After much research, we think they will bring an exciting new energy to our campus and attract students interested in being a leader in the new frontier of university athletics that online gaming represents.”

• William Woody Parramore Jr., wellknown young Sumter businessman, was the holder of number 196, the first number drawn in the draft lottery in Washington last night.

The second number drawn, number 98, was held by Harold Littlejohn Player, in board 76, and by McKinley Muldrow Jr., of Lynchburg.

• Mayor F.B. Creech announced today that the city of Sumter would comply with the request made by Gov. Burnet R. Maybank, which would place South Carolina on Daylight Saving Time, beginning Aug. 1, 1941.

• The War Department announced the award of contracts totaling $14,432,557 for flying schools in Texas, Alabama and South Carolina, and other army installations in Louisiana, Florida and the District of Columbia.

Contracts totaling $2,843,000 for construction of an Air Corps basic flying school at Sumter were awarded to Boyle Construction Co., Sumter, J.C. Heslep Co., Columbia, and Dawson Engineering company of Charleston. The site is about six miles west of Sumter and comprises about 2,830 acres.

• The drive to collect aluminum for national defense use will get underway in earnest in Sumter on Monday morning. In Sumter, the Boy Scouts are cooperating by volunteering their services to collect small contributions of aluminum. You can obtain a Scout to collect your contributions of aluminum merely by calling the fire department.

When the amount you have is more than can be carried by one of the boys, you may call Mrs. R. Leland Moore, and she will arrange to have it picked up.

50 YEARS AGO – 1966 May 16 – 22 Maj. Gen. Marvin L. McNickle, 52, commander of the Ninth Air Force, headquartered at Shaw Air Force Base, has been nominated by President Lyndon B. Johnson for promotion to lieutenant general with assignment as deputy director, Defense Research and Engineering, effective Aug. 1.

• The 1966 Gamecocks of Coach Bob Matthews got more than their share of excellent hurling during the spring but, because the Sumter bats put on a spasmodic show, the Birds stayed home while Florence played for the lower state championship.

• An escape artist-hypnotist-magician will be plying his trade for the Sumter Police Benefit Fund here on July 26 and 27. John Novak, who specializes in worming his way out of strait jackets and handcuffs, putting people to sleep and pulling rabbits out of hats among other feats, will put on his Mysterious Novak Show at a location to be announced later. Sgt. Maxie Connor is president of the Sumter Police Benefit Fund, which will receive all proceeds from the shows.

• A man who has literally “watched Tuomey Hospital grow” through the years is Dewey Grumble. He is intimately acquainted with each step in the growth of the local institution because Dewey, as most of his friends call him, has been maintenance engineer for Tuomey Hospital for the past 37 years. The quiet, now graying engineer joined the staff of Tuomey Hospital on March 15, 1929. Since that time he has become well known and well liked in Sumter and has come to be one of the most depended upon members of the hospital staff.

• Plowden Construction Co. has been awarded a contract for improvements to the municipal airport. Low bid for the work was $92,728.50. According to Harold Moise, chairman of the Sumter Airport Commission, 50 percent of the funds to pay for the work will come from the Federal Aviation Agency, 12½ percent each from the city and county and the remaining 25 percent from the state of South Carolina.

• Moise Insurance Service Inc. has moved to new offices at 110 N. Washington St. The new location is opposite the offices of General Telephone Co. The building is of brick veneer construction and was formerly owned and occupied as the residence of W.S. Fishel. Originally of frame construction, the building was brick veneered in the 1930s. Moise Insurance Service was formed in 1930 by Francis Moise, who still serves as president.

• The Social Security Administration will open a new branch office in Sumter on May 31 in the new Federal Building at 101 S. Main St., W.H.

• Mr. and Mrs. John T. Green, daughters Melissa and Amelia and son Scott, former lifelong residents of Sumter, were honored by the Louisiana Memorial Methodist Church of Opelousas, La., as the church’s “Family of the Year” on Sunday at worship services.

The Greens moved to Opelousas from Sumter eight years ago. Mrs. Green is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. R. Mood Dollard. Dollard was a 40-year veteran employee of the Sumter Daily Item, having served as its circulation manager prior to his death.

• Col. Jacob W. Dixon, who leaves Shaw next month for duty at the Pentagon, was cited here last week for his “outstanding contributions to ShawSumter community relations” and for his “meritorious service as the vicecommander, USAF Tactical Air Reconnaissance Center.” At ceremonies in the office of Maj. Gen. Milton B. Adams, Dixon was presented a certificate of appreciation from the City of Sumter by Sumter Mayor Robert E. Graham. Adams presented the colonel an Air Force Commendation Medal recognizing his work as Adams’ vice commander.

25 YEARS AGO – 1991 Feb.15 – 21 Theron Jackson hit a driving layup with two seconds left to lift Bates Middle School to a 54-53 victory over Manning Middle School in the boys championship game of the Mid-8 Conference basketball tournament. Lonnie White led Bates with 19 points, 11 rebounds and four assists. Carl Baker added 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Garon Jackson scored 10 points, handed out 15 assists and had five steals.

• After 21 years of providing Manning’s do-it-yourselfers with building, home repair and gardening supplies, Lowe’s Companies is closing its local store to combine its services with the recently opened superstore in Sumter.

The 5,200-square-foot facility opened in 1968, and Lowe’s Area General Manager Red Hudler said it’s become too small. Lowe’s merchandise offering has simply outgrown that facility.

• Sumter High School graduate Thomas C. King Jr. is spending another special day away from home. This time it’s his 24th birthday. Instead of spending today with family and friends, he’s aboard the aircraft carrier

USS John F. Kennedy in the Red Sea, prepared to do battle with the Iraqis.

• Something that hasn’t happened in 25 years among Sumter’s movie theaters took place on a recent weekend.

Three of the city’s seven screens were showing films that might properly be termed family fare. Frustrated parents didn’t know which of the movies to take their younger kids to first. One of the flicks, “The Rescuers Downunder,” was seen in most parts of the nation during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

• There may be as many as 38 Army veterans mistakenly listed as dead on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and the man who decided to put them there now says, “I’m happy I was wrong.”

Because the records for these men were incomplete, Robert W. Doubek was not certain that they had been killed. But he decided to include them anyway. “I felt that if we were going to make an error, it was better to include someone’s name than to not include it.

I had the idea these people might be lost to history if we didn’t include them.”

• USC Sumter administrators cleared the first of three hurdles in getting approval for their proposal to offer fouryear business degrees. A committee of the University of South Carolina’s board of trustees endorsed the proposal.

• An article that appeared in the January 1966 issue of “The South Carolina Historical Magazine” was titled “The Last Officer – April 1865.” The War Between the States was one of the worst wars yet, where brother fought against brother, and so many thousands of young lives were lost. It is a story of two brigades of Union soldiers, black and white, in the very last days of the war, setting out from Georgetown for the purpose of destroying inland rail communications between Camden and Florence.

• Students at Sumter High School are learning a lesson beyond reading, writing and arithmetic. They’re learning that crime pays — cash. The Scholastic Crime Stoppers program encourages students to turn in classmates who break the rules or the law in exchange for cash rewards. The year-old program has become so successful that it is starting to cut down on campus crime and is helping weed troublemakers from the school. Students think the program is a good thing in that it fosters “accountability” of individuals.

• St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church in Wedgefield began as a mission. It was founded in 1887-88 under the leadership of the Rev. John Kershaw, rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Clarendon. This mission comprised the black members who originally belonged to St. Mark’s. It was one of several missions founded when the diocese began to establish separate worship organizations for blacks. Isham Mitchell and others assisted Kershaw in establishing this church.

• Jim Shepard is looking for a few good chicken growers. As field operations manager for Sumter’s newest company, Carolina Golden Products Inc., Shepard is recruiting growers to produce broilers for the poultry-processing plant which wants to process four times as many chickens as the former owner, Campbell Soup Co. • The look is familiar to anyone who

has ever played for him. Eyes squinted, his face puckers into a scowl that sucks the heat from anything it falls on. The mustache bristles. At worst, his arms flare out and he bows up like a spindly Hulk Hogan. Coley White, head football and basketball coach at Bates Middle School, has been putting that glare to work for 26 years, six as a high school head football, basketball and track coach in Hampton, Ga., and the past 20 in Sumter at McLaurin Junior High School and Bates. Those who have played for or known him refer to Coach White as “The Legend” and say he is there to help you become a better athlete and person.

• Madonna, turn in your rhinestonestudded bullet outfit and step aside.

The oft-animated former Sumter Mayor W.A. “Bubba” McElveen is about to take his place among the ’90s music video hipsters. McElveen will debut his new lip-sync video smash, “Get a Job,” during the 5th-annual Sumter Crime Stoppers Telethon.

McElveen’s video is one of 16 to be debuted to raise money for Crime Stoppers.

• District 17 teachers, along with teachers throughout Sumter County, will be the center of attention this week in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week. More than 100 Sumter merchants are participating in this year’s Sumter County Teacher Appreciation Days by offering special discounts on merchandise or services.

• Local farmers and farm product manufacturers got a chance to exchange ideas at the 22nd Annual Farmers’ Field Day held in Oswego at Lowder Brothers Gin Co. Clayton Lowder Jr., owner, who operates the company with his brother Jimmy, said he expected up to 500 people to show up for the annual gathering. The trade show began in 1959 as a way for farmers to get a look at the latest farm products without attending dozens of individual manufacturers’ meetings.

• After six years of working and waiting to have a healthy baby, Dale and Gregg Richardson got their wish three times over when their triplets arrived. Keeping up with tripled diapers, bottles and crying is a lot of work, but the real work began with just getting the babies here.

• War, recession and troubles at America’s Big Three automakers have forced another wave of layoffs at Bendix Automotive Systems’ Sumter plants. About 70 local Bendix workers have lost their jobs during the past two weeks.

• As workers put the finishing touches on Sumter School District 17’s new Kingsbury Elementary School, board members plan to begin searching for a site for another new school. Trustees will discuss the possibility of a new school at their monthly meeting. The district is interested only in purchasing land, not construction, at this time.

• A private memorial service will be held for Capt. Dale Thomas Cromier, the first Shaw Air Force Base pilot killed in the Gulf War. It will include a missing-man flyover of F-16s.

• Scientists will try to determine what caused the death of more than 15 robins found Monday near the softball field at USC Sumter and in the surrounding area. Some of the dead birds reportedly were found bleeding from the mouth. Cause of death could be determined next week at the Clemson University health division lab in Columbia.

• For three years Janice Suggs has enjoyed watching the development of young Sumter County Girl Scouts.

“I’ve watched girls who were so quiet just grow, and by the end of the year you just can’t keep them quiet.” Sumter County’s Fannie Ivey Service Unit is having trouble recruiting leaders, and this is keeping some girls interested in scouting from being able to participate.

• Internationally acclaimed harpist Harvi Griffin will perform at USC Sumter’s Nettles Auditorium. Griffin’s varied career has included several White House performances and more than 900 concerts throughout the United States, Europe and the Far East.

• Sumter and Mayewood high schools qualified for reduced state regulation in January, but neither school plans to make drastic changes in the system that helped it attain the honor.

The two schools are the first high schools in Sumter County to achieve deregulated status, considered a state honor by many administrators.

• The city of Sumter had about 57 percent participation during its first week of curbside recycling. About 763 of the 1,341 residents involved in the pilot program placed bins out for pickup last week. The only problem reported by Public Works was an abundance of newspapers.

• The foundry at Sumter Machinery Co. has operated through two world wars, the Great Depression and the administrations of 16 U.S. presidents, but the 87-year-old operation won’t survive the Clean Air Act of 1990 intact. Citing strict antipollution rules about to be handed down, it was announced that the company will close its foundry.

REFLECTIONS

THE SUMTER ITEM

Construction of 1st Sumter hospital began in late 1904 T

his segment of the research will address the actual construction of

the new modern facility as reported in several Item articles.

In August of 1904 the Sumter Hospital was incorporated and stock valued at $20,000 was sold without difficulty. Officers of the new corporation had not been elected, but this would be completed in short order.

It was stated that a large lot on the corner of West Calhoun and Sumter streets was purchased, and an architect was secured who was engaged in drawing plans for the building to comprise three stories constructed of brick. Work was scheduled to begin within 60 days from this event.

The board of directors consisted of president S.C. Baker: vice presiSammy Way dent Archie China, REFLECTIONS secretary H.M. Stuckey and treasurer Walter Cheyne. The architect selected was D.G. Zeigler, who noted that the building would be ready for occupation by the beginning of 1905.

The structure will be built of “artificial stone, will be three-and-a-half stories high, will extend some 60 feet on Calhoun Street and 90 or 100 feet on Sumter Street. The lot is beautifully and centrally located but is sufficiently retired to secure the necessary quiet. The building will be an ornament to the city, and the institution will be the largest of its kind in this section of the state.”

The Aug. 30 edition of The Item featured an article written concerning the completion of Sumter Hospital stating that it stood “pre-eminently superior to any building of its kind in the state.” The elegant structure features four massive Corinthian colJ.A. MOOD umns at the front and an “artistically designed porte-cochere on its western side, also features spacious piazzas on every floor where delightful breezes are always felt by convalesTIMOTHY cent patients.”

TUOMEY The building design was patterned after that of Johns Hopkins Hospital located in Baltimore.

According to The Item “the building was constructed of imitation stone, being made on the hospital site by mixing together sand and cement in a proportion of 3 to 1.” The Harvard grandstand in New Haven, Connecticut, was built in similar fashion. The building is almost entirely constructed of fireproof materials with the partitions between the rooms consisting of stone. Acme cement was used throughout the building for plastering.

Noise was reduced because of an inch-thick layer of asbestos being laid between the double floors. The facility will feature an intercommunicating telephonic system with 11 stations in different parts of the building.

The hospital has 50 rooms that are neatly furnished, designed with patient comfort in mind. The rooms also feature green shades and dotted mull half curtains which hang from the windows.

The rooms are equipped with a long cord that allows the patient to call for

Baker-Dick Infirmary is seen in 1894. It would later become Sumter (Tuomey) Hospital.

Formerly the Sumter Hospital, this structure was opened for patients in 1905 with Dr. S.C. Baker, president; Dr. Archie China, vice president; Dr. H.M. Stucky, secretary; and Dr. Walter Cheyne, treasurer.

The building was considered one of the most modern and well equipped in the South. assistance without regard to the location of his bed. Clean linen and comfortable mattresses cover the attractive iron-and-brass beds featuring adjustable woven wire springs.

The building was equipped with gas and electric fixtures in every room. The cost per week for these rooms ranges from $10 to $25 according to their size and location.

The building also houses a superintendent’s room, an examination room featuring an X-ray machine

and a reception area. According to the article, the first floor of the hospital will be devoted primarily to the treatment of typhoid fever cases. The bathroom and other private departments have ground glass windows; in addition, it is the site of the black male ward.

The second floor houses the gynecological department and features the most desirable rooms and houses the female black ward. The top floor houses the kitchen and the

surgical ward, where enhanced light is provided by 16 electric lamps. The roof is arranged allowing accessibility by the large elevator that operates through the building and provides an ideal place for patients’ access to fresh air which assisted in the healing process. The basement has a room where soiled linen is deposited through the use of a metal shaft. The laundry is located in the adjoining room and is monitored by a skilled employee.

The basement also features a boiler room, the nurses’ dining room and a plant for making and generating gas from gasoline. The new facility will also house the Training School for Nurses, which before its removal produced a number of bright and capable nurses.

The nursing corps is headed by Miss Lila Davis, superintendent and head nurse, and the following nurses: Misses Kennedy, Furman, Brinkley, Thomas and Hines.

A great deal of credit for the founding of this medical facility must be given to Sumter’s doctors.

USC SUMTER FROM PAGE C2 the field of eSports early last year after hearing about other colleges’ successful teams. He tasked Weissmann with more in-depth research, and after a summer of investigation, Weissmann’s proposal was approved with funding. USC Sumter now has state-of-the-art equipment for its new team and 10 students as active players. The team is open to full-time and part-time USC Sumter students, though no prospective team mate should sign up thinking this extracurricular will be only sitting around playing video games

on campus.

“As members of the eSports team, students will be held to the same academic and athletic standards as every other athlete,” Weissmann said. “We’re going to put in a lot of work at practices and we’re going to have a lot of fun competing.”

After brunch, nearly 60 students representing Christian schools across South Carolina went to the state capital for a tour led by the Republican Party’s National Director of Faith Engagement Chad Connelly, who stressed the importance of being vocal in politics.

Senior Courtney Leverette said, “Because I went, I now have a better understanding of how important it is for young people, especially Christians, to be politically active.” Students were able to not only observe proceedings in the House of Representatives, but also meet Reps. Murrell Smith, David Weeks and Grady Brown. Weeks made mention of their visit on his Facebook page: “Met Principal Scott Birt and some fine students from Sumter Christian School at the State House today. Always good to see young folk visiting

the seat of government.”

SENIORS VISIT BOB JONES UNIVERSITY SCS Administrator Ron Davis and Principal Scott Birt were excited to take the senior class to Bob Jones University in Greenville to the 2016 Faith Family Presidential Forum on Feb. 12. The forum, featuring presidential hopefuls Sen. Ted Cruz, Dr. Ben Carson, Sen. Marco Rubio and former Gov. Jeb Bush, was moderated by Attorney General Alan Wilson and Dr. Oran Smith. As an added bonus, the students were able to enjoy some snow and a little time with SCS alumni Katelynn Mahoney and Victoria Rollings.

Bishopville Primary School is celebrating Black History Month. During announcements each morning, thirdgrade 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. All the students are really enjoying the daily trivia.

On Tuesday, Bishopville Primary School will hold its PTO meeting at 6 p.m. in the cafeteria at Bishopville Primary School. Third-grade students will perform a play and sing as part of the program. All parents and community members are invited to attend.

Third-grade students are learning about the various types of soil. Students have been using scientific processes to look at different types of soil and analyze the components and record observations.

LOWER LEE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Deidre Ford’s aim as the media specialist is to instill a love of reading by introducing students to books they truly enjoy. Students have been reading the texts enlarged and projected onscreen while they listen to the audio recordings of the words. This involves Amazon Kindle e-books and Audible.com audio books linked by WhisperSync technology. This strategy has helped increase students’ reading comprehension skills and their vocabularies.

Teriann Nash and her students discussed the importance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his dream for equality. This activity was based on the poem “The Crayon Box.” Students created a class crayon box. Each student designed his/her crayon with a self-portrait and on the back wrote why it was important for all colors to love one another and celebrate equality.

WEST LEE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL The first grade at West Lee Elementary recently celebrated the 100th day of school. Anga Flynn’s class and Hannah Brunson’s class started the day by making the number 100 in eight different ways. The students wrote the numerical number, the number word and separated the number in hundreds, tens and ones. They also drew the number using base-ten blocks, drew a number bond, showed the number in money, told whether it was odd or even, and created a greater than and less than number sentence. The students continued the celebration by building a cup tower using 100 Solo cups.

Students made 100-day sunglasses and ended the day at recess by blowing 100 bubbles.

Mystery plant changes nitrogen into useable forms Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children’s futures, and we are all mortal.

— John F. Kennedy, 1963

BY JOHN NELSON Curator, USC Herbarium The air that we all breathe is a mixture of various gases: Everybody knows that we require oxygen, but it sometimes comes as a surprise to hear that regular old air is mostly nitrogen (almost 80 percent).

Now, nitrogen, as an element, is curious stuff. It’s odorless, tasteless and colorless, and it doesn’t react much, as a gas, in our atmosphere.

Nevertheless, it is extremely important: Plant and animal life would not exist anywhere in the world without it. Among other things, nitrogen is critically important in the formation of amino acids and proteins, as well as nucleic acids (which is where DNA comes from).

We critters breathe it in all day long, but no functional nitrogen ever enters our bodies — it is only available in other chemical forms.

Fortunately for us animals, many plant species, especially members of the bean family, are able to convert gaseous nitrogen (with the help of friendly bacteria in the soil) into ammonium and nitrates, which are readily used by living organisms.

The whole process, which is rather complicated, is called “nitrogen fixation.” Plants taking ammonium and nitrates into their own systems are able to make complex nitrogen-

Our mystery plant is a champion at turning gaseous nitrogen into useable forms. It’s an annual species, growing for only a single season. It is a common herbaceous member of the bean family, featuring bright green compound leaves, each with several pairs of narrow leaflets. The tips of the leaves are specially modified into thin tendrils which grab and hang onto other, taller plants, thus allowing our little herb to sprawl or clamor on top of other vegetation. A couple of flowers will be found at each leaf base. In each flower, five bright pink petals are arranged with the

largest on the top, the others at the side, projecting forward.

Our plant produces slender green bean pods, which at maturity are black. The two halves of the pod, once it has split open, are prominently spiraled. A number of dark, spherical seeds are produced in each pod. This species is native to Europe and Asia but is now widespread around the world. It has long been important as a kind of “green manure” and is commonly planted. Once plowed back into the ground, the nitrogen that has been fixed into its tissues is thus available to the next planted crop (cotton, corn, etc.), thus allowing less use of artificial nitrogen-containing fertilizers. The plants are also useful for cattle fodder.

This little mortal is now common over much of the U.S. and may be seen starting to come up, and it won’t be so long until it’s blooming, especially in sunny, protected places. It can be a bit weedy, but if it’s in your yard and thus inhabiting part of your small planet and breathing some of your air, try to think of it as good for the soil. And its little flowers are pretty, too.

Custom home builder receives praise for work Business featured in magazine; clients want more homes built

BY RICK CARPENTER rick@theitem.com

J

ohn Paul Smith credits ditching classes in high school with paying huge dividends

for him today. After a 1996 hurricane that he couldn’t remember the name of, Smith and a high school friend ditched school to make money repairing homes, primarily replacing roofs, in the Camden area.

Smith credits that experience, and learning carpentry through construction work while obtaining an associate’s degree in environmental engineering from Central Carolina Technical College, with giving him the confidence to launch his own business.

That confidence blossomed when he bought a house for $20,000 in 2002, applied his skills to the house and sold it a year later for $64,000.

Smith realized the potential of flipping houses — the term used to describe buying homes at low prices, fixing them up and then selling them at a significantly higher price. He continued to flip houses for two years.

“I went out on an act of faith that I would yield more than a meal after flipping houses,” he said.

By 2004, Smith had made enough off flipping houses to launch a construction company, J.P. Smith Builders LLC. From his humble beginnings with a $20,000 investment, his company has grown to gross more than $10 million a year.

And he prospered even at a time when the housing market had collapsed during the years of 2008 and 2009.

Smith said customized home construction separates his company from others who often build spec homes. Spec homes, short for “speculative homes,” are built with no particular buyer in mind. Custom homes are built for a particular buyer. A third kind of home, tract homes, are usually built in subdivisions with homes with similar floor plans where builders can save on efficiencies of scale.

Smith said he prefers custom homes because he gets to know the customers and their lifestyles and unique circumstances such as their ages, how they cook, how many children they have and the children’s ages while incorporating such amenities as secret drop boxes or panic areas.

J.P. Smith Builders provides each customer with a detailed homeowner’s manual that outlines everything that happens during construction from start to finish, detailing decisions the customer has to make and when. Smith said it encourages the builder and the buyer to have detailed conversations during the construction cycle.

“The book lays out every choice or selection the customer needs to make prior to the home going up,” Smith said. “This takes a lot of the guesswork and frustration out of building.

It answers every question you can think of.”

Smith said he hires “true” carpenters who are life-long carpenters. His company even builds its own cabinets in a building adjacent to his business office in Camden and recruits former furniture finishers to custom build the cabinets for his houses.

The company also utilizes local tree products for interior design such as stairwells, bookshelves and cabinets. Those trees include cedar, pecky cypress, river birch and willow.

Smith’s attention to detail in custom-made homes has won the praise of not only Southern Living magazine, but also from his clients.

Southern Living has a custombuilder program that recognizes more than 100 local builders who meet specific requirements for the magazine’s estimated 16 million readers. The program requires members to pay $4,000 the first year and $3,500 for subsequent years to become part of the program.

The magazine requires members to

In a prepared statement, the magazine’s executive director wrote that “J.P. Smith Builders was chosen to be our exclusive builder representative in Camden based on their extensive experience and knowledge, outstanding character and reputation, and focus on the discriminating customer who is looking to build a custom home.”

J.P. Smith Builders has achieved the status every year since 2008.

“We get vetted every year,” Smith said.

Indeed, representatives of the program contact customers, suppliers and subcontractors to make sure he’s paying his bills, providing liability insurance, keeping his contractor’s license up to date and other expectations to ensure he’s maintaining high credibility among his customers.

One of those customers, Jim Hern, has so much respect for Smith’s company after he built a home for him on Lake Wateree that he’s building Hern a second home in Myrtle Beach.

Kern said Smith started with a blueprint, and Kern would ask questions about whether he could make changes and what those changes to the blueprint would cost.

“His honesty level is as high as or better than any contractor I’ve ever worked with,” Hern said. And, he said, he has a great network of subcontractors.

“His quality of work is very good,” Hern said.

And while many of his homes are built in the Sumter, Camden and Lake Wateree areas, his footprint even expanded to Texas, thanks to a request from Hern.

After the economic downturn in 2008, Hern bought an unfinished house in San Antonio, Texas. The

builders had walked away in the middle of the construction. It sat empty for seven years until he hired Smith to finish the home — even though it was thousands of miles from Smith’s core business.

“What a relief to get that house completed,” Hern said. “I even tried to give him more money, but he wouldn’t accept it.”

The Lake Wateree Home Owners Association lists J.P. Smith Builders as a “preferred builder.” The association’s president, David McCaskill, said he has been so pleased with Smith’s work on a home he built for him seven years ago that he’s considering Smith to build an addition to the home.

“He was always on time, good to follow up with issues, and his communications skills are outstanding,” McCaskill said. “It was just very high-quality work, and the work he did, even after seven years, we have been very pleased. He was easy to work with from start to finish.”

Perhaps customers are pleased with Smith because of his commitment to his workers, which builds camaraderie and loyalty among his employees. Smith said he allows his 18 employees to be “mommies and daddies before workers.”

Smith, an active member of The River Church in Camden, allows employees to take time off to coach sports, pick up children after school or be available when their family needs them. In fact, Smith coaches soccer for his children — ages 5, 6 and 8. He’s also closed on Sundays and closes early on Wednesday for employees to attend church services.

That was a lesson he learned in his own life as he credits his wife, Gayle, with taking care of their children and making his house a home so that he could work on expanding his business. He give her equal credit in helping build his business.

He takes the approach that “you can’t be a good carpenter if you can’t be a good father and mother.”

At the same time, he hasn’t forgotten that ditching school for a construction job helped launch his business. However, he encourages students to stay in school to discover their individual passions.

He found his passion his by working with wood and building homes that owners can be so proud of, they give him the ultimate compliment: They ask him to build their next one.

DNR looks to keep wild turkey numbers up

“Y

ou need to talk to Dave Bauman, he’s the turkey biologist,” was the answer to my question. And now I had a starting point.

I was at the Palmetto Sportsman’s Classic in March of 2003, and had asked a South Carolina Department of Natural Resources employee about wild turkey restoration projects.

Dan He said that he didn’t know Geddings if the departOUTDOORS ment was still doing turkey projects, but added “Dave would know.”

I had grown up in the ’60s and ’70s without turkeys to hunt. They simply weren’t here.

They were nearly exterminated at the turn of the century. The Wildlife Department had been relocating wild turkeys throughout the state for years, in an effort to increase their numbers. But, the midlands was the last area to get them.

The area I hunted opened for turkeys in 1992. Hunting them was the beginning of a world class obsession for me that has only grown stronger over the years. Anyone who hunts turkeys knows what I mean.

But the big birds weren’t everywhere. They occupied some of the better habitats and were slow to spread into all the surrounding areas. They were absent from a big area west of Paxville into Sumter County near Pinewood. I could hunt much of that area, and owned land there, but it had no wild turkeys.

I hoped that the birds would spread to the area, but after more than a decade, they were still absent. I decided to turn to the Wildlife Department for help. I called Bauman and explained the situation. His answer was “Yes, the department would still do a viable project.”

He knew that large areas of suitable habitat could go for years without turkeys. Some natural obstacle or circumstance, that we couldn’t see or understand, might be a factor.

Populations threatened by semi-domestic cats and dogs

BY PHILIP GENTRY The Greenville News

A Turner South cameraman films Dave Bauman banding a turkey.

He agreed to send me the paperwork to get the land signed up for a relocation project. I would need a minimum of 3,000 acres, and a commitment from the landowners for a 10-year period. It would be no small task.

My first task was to visit the Sumter County Assessors office and study the tax maps. I identified property owners and acreages within the targeted area. There were 26 separate property owners, and the acreages ranged from 10 acres to 550 acres. Many landowners lived out of town, and a few were from out of state.

I drafted an introductory letter that highlighted the importance of individual landowners in wildlife conservation projects and a map of the area showing the location of their property in the overall project boundary. I enclosed the letter, the map, and the DNR agreement in a large manila envelope — with a separate return addressed and stamped envelope included. All a potential cooperator had to do was sign the agreement, place it in the provided envelope and drop it in the mail back to me.

It took six months to get the paperwork sent out, as I had to steal an hour or two from my day job here and there to work on the turkey project. The returns were unbelievable!

Twenty-three landowners signed on for a total of 3,289 acres. I had also included my own land in the project.

I sent Dave a package in early December that included the original signed agreements, a color coded map of the project area, and a list of all the landowners and acreages. Now, all

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

we needed were turkeys.

Dave would let me know when a release was scheduled, and on Jan. 21, 2004 six hens that had been trapped in Chester County were released at a central location of the project in Sumter County. On Jan. 22 three more hens, trapped in Laurens County, were released at the site. Then on Jan. 23, Dave brought four gobblers from Berkeley County, and a film crew from Turner South.

The film crew was doing a documentary on wild turkeys and filmed the gobblers being banded and released. On Feb. 9, Dave and his son Jeff brought four more gobblers from Berkeley County. They were also banded before being released. And finally, on Feb. 25, three hens from Berkeley County, for a total of 20 birds.

The National Wild Turkey Federation provided the individual transfer boxes to DNR for all the turkeys relocated.

They have been a valued partner in the success of wild turkey conservation efforts. The local chapter is holding it’s annual fundraising banquet starting at 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 26, at the Fair Memorial Building.

Now we have turkeys, and they have responded better than I ever envisioned. They have spread into available habitats, and I even have them on my land near Paxville, where they had been absent for more than a 100 years.

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

For the first time in as long as anyone can remember, turkey hunters across South Carolina will take to the woods on the same day when the season opens in just more than a month.

Last year, the state legislature passed laws to standardize wild turkey season dates across the state. The legislature also took action designed to help conserve dwindling numbers of the state’s turkey flock by reducing the bag limit for turkey from five to three per hunter.

Under the old regulations, Game Zones 3-6 — which encompass all of the Lowcountry counties — opened turkey season March 15 and closed May 1. Game Zones 1 and 2 in the Upstate formerly opened April 1 and closed on May 1. Now turkey season opens statewide March 20 and closes May 5.

Reaction from Upstate hunters has been very positive, both from a hunting perspective as well as leveling the playing field across the state.

Annually since the early 1980s, S.C. Department of Natural Resources has conducted a summer turkey survey to estimate reproduction and recruitment of wild turkeys in the state. The survey involves agency wildlife biologists, technicians and conservation officers, as well as many volunteers from other natural resource agencies and the general public.

The summer survey conducted during 2015 showed that the average brood size was 3.6 poults, but by the end of the summer, the recruitment rate had dwindled to 1.5, which

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.

is less than a replacement of stock average.

Young turkeys entering the locks are extremely susceptible to weather fluctuations such as cold and wet conditions during nesting season. In addition, predators, including coyotes, raccoons, opossums, snakes, foxes, bobcats and numerous bird species are a factor.

Obviously, hunting takes its toll on the population, but only male birds are harvested during hunting season. The decline stems not from a lack of reproduction but a lack of survival rates of poults.

There’s also the issue no one wants to talk about — the added strain by semidomestic animals such as dogs and cats that are allowed to roam free. While many of these animals are unwanted pets turned out in rural areas to fend for themselves, the majority are owned animals that have a provided food source and are hunting in response to natural instinct.

Even the Wildlife Society, a noted conservation and anti-hunting organization, recently commented on the voracity of domestic felines. On its blogsite, NWF published statistics from one of its studies: “The number of freeroaming cats is increasing, currently between 117 million and 157 million in the United States alone.

The domestic cat, Felis catus — a nonnative species — is now the most abundant carnivore in North America.”

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.
