Lemira step team wins competition in Columbia BY RAYTEVIA EVANS revans@theitem.com The Lemira Elementary School step team recently took home the overall trophy after beating 11 other teams — with many of the other teams from middle schools and high schools — in the inaugural Royal Affair hosted by the Royal Diamond Steppers at Columbia High School. Coach Mary Tuggle started the team five years ago after seeing a performance on television. “My husband and I were watching Dancing with the Stars one night and a step team performed. My husband said to me, ‘You should start a step team,’� she said. “I said, ‘I don’t dance and I don’t step.’� After asking a relative who is a professional dancer about stepping, Tuggle said she received even more encouragement to start a team when the relative said she couldn’t do it. Tuggle consulted with a few contacts at Morris College and

Gable man dies in Skinner Road wreck Vehicle collides with motorized wheelchair, ejects rider into ditch BY ROB COTTINGHAM AND JADE REYNOLDS rcottingham@theitem.com, jade@theitem.com A 79-year-old Sumter County man is dead after a vehicle collided with his motorized wheelchair on a rural road Saturday evening. Hampton Ceasar, a Gable area resident, was traveling west on Skinner Road about 7 p.m. when another vehicle struck his motorized wheelchair, sending Ceasar and his wheelchair careening into a nearby ditch. “He was ejected from the wheelchair in the collision,” Sumter County Coroner Harvin Bullock said. Bullock said several factors were at play in the incident, including a lack of lighting. “It’s a really dark area of that road,” the coroner said. “You couldn’t even see your hand in front of your face out there.” As far as the investigative complications go, Bullock said the incident isn’t a hitand-run case. The driver of the other vehicle, who remained unnamed by officials as of Saturday night, stopped after running into Ceasar. EMS was contacted almost immediately after the collision, but they were unable

Pinewood special election troubled by resignation BY TYLER SIMPSON tyler@theitem.com With the Pinewood special election set for March 11, the town is currently facing more issues with its election commission after one member recently announced her resignation. Pinewood councilwoman Francis Lester said that Charlotte Smoak of the Pinewood election commission turned in her resignation papers Thursday afternoon. This leaves the town election commission with only one member since its former chairman, Patrick Lester, resigned in May last year, and his seat has yet to be filled. “The election commission is supposed to have three members,” Francis Lester said. “They will have to verify if the candidates are eligible to be placed on the ballot.” In next month’s special mayoral election, Manley C. Dubose, a resident of Pinewood, will face off against Mayor Pro Tem Sarah Mathis, who has been serving as interim mayor since former Mayor Al Pridgen left Pinewood in October to seek

medical attention in North Carolina. Pridgen’s resignation was made official after council received an updated resignation letter with an effective date of Dec. 16. Francis Lester has scheduled for the current issue with the election commission to be addressed at the council’s next public meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday after she spoke with several individuals who said that he were interested in filling the empty seats. “I’ve talked to seven people, and four of them who told me that they were willing to go on the election commission,” Lester said. “So hopefully, we will be able to take care of that Tuesday night.” It is currently unknown if this issue will affect the special election, but Town Clerk Felicia Benbow said during the public meeting on Jan. 14 that Sumter County Election Director Patricia Johnson has offered to help with the election if needed.

Florence opens livability court FLORENCE (AP) — Sitting in Judge Alesia Rico Flores or Judge Michael Molony’s courtroom in Charleston or Judge Debra Jackson’s in Florence, defendants and onlookers realize that while these municipal courts uphold the rule of law, they do so in a different way. Noise violations, barking dogs, dilapidated houses, improper signage and overgrown lots alike all have their day in Livability Court and now Florentines will have a dedicated Livability Court to hear such concerns twice a month. Jackson saw the need for Florence’s Livability Court several years ago while serving in municipal court bench and realizing livability issues needed to be separated from the municipal mix of domestic violence, robbery and other cases in her court. “We average approximately 50 cases every morning on the criminal docket,” Jackson said. “Hearing codes enforcement cases in conjunction with criminal charges does not allow the focus on solutions and problem solving that is necessary in quality of life issues. We have already separated the codes cases out to one afternoon session per month and that has helped some. However the creation of the Livability Court and the appointment of additional judges will enable us to do both, with as much time as it takes to get these matters resolved or fully adjudicated.” Jackson will now become an administrative judge for the city. After spending time in Charleston and in Florence, it’s clear that Livability Court should be named compromise court, where all parties work together to address problems without enforcing traditional punish-

ments, unless needed. Codes enforcement officers might give violators leeway to correct the situation before they cite a resident for an overgrown lot or a dog that barks all night. If not, the matter proceeds to court where matters can still be negotiated and fines suspended if conditions change in a specified time period. Community Relations Commander and former Florence Police Chief Anson Shells oversees a team of four code enforcement officers who are assigned to districts throughout the city to address neighborhood problems. “The city manager has put a tremendous amount of investment into neighborhood revitalization efforts, and this Livability Court is a large part of that investment because now we can really encourage people to invest in our neighborhoods,” Shells said. “We’re going to have to clean our neighborhoods up, and Livability Court is a vehicle for accomplishing that.” One major problem that will be addressed will be the typically tricky situation of dilapidated houses in Florence. It can often be difficult to track down owners, especially of heir property or out-of-state owners, which leads to lots becoming overgrown, abandoned and ripe for illegal activity — affecting property values and the neighborhood’s personality. Judge Rangeley Bailey, who was sworn in as an associate municipal judge directly over Livability Court, said her experience as a personal injury, disability and Social Security attorney with the Jebaily Law Firm since 2003 has given her perspective on the situations that face many Florentines.

Massive Georgia warehouse blaze contained but still burning SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Firefighters battled a giant blaze fueled by 5,600 tons of rubber Saturday at the Port of Savannah, where a towering column of black smoke could be seen from miles away. By late Saturday, the fire department said its crews had contained the fire, but it could take a while for the flames to burn out inside a warehouse covering 226,000 square feet at the port’s Ocean Terminal just west of downtown Savannah. “It is contained,� Savannah Fire and Emergency Services spokesman Mark Keller said late Saturday afternoon, after the fire had burned for at least five hours. “Will it burn all night? There’s no telling. It’s solid blocks of rubber that are burning.� Keller said firefighters were

surrounding the warehouse with hoses on three sides and using industrial pumps to suck water from the Savannah River and blast in through water cannons. Crews will continue soaking into the night and today if necessary. The cause of the fire wasn’t immediately known, but all port workers were accounted for and unharmed. No mandatory evacuations have been ordered. Authorities are asking people in the downtown historic district, Savannah’s tourism hub, to stay indoors as much as possible to limit exposure to smoke. “Please limit the time you’re out,� Keller said, adding he didn’t expect people to cancel dinner reservations or shopping trips. “If you’re fin-

ished at the restaurant or finished with shopping, go back to your hotel room or go home.� Keller said firefighters probably won’t be able to get close enough to investigate the cause until today. “Solid rubber blocks, they’re going to burn and we’re going to keep putting

water on it,� Keller said. “We’ll just do it until the fire’s out.� Savannah-Chatham County police closed some streets near the port terminal and smoke slowed traffic on the Talmadge Bridge that spans the Savannah River to South Carolina. Police also asked a few hotels near the port ter-

minal and the Savannah College of Art and Design, which has buildings in the area, to either evacuate or keep people inside. “We’re not worried about the fire getting over there at this point,� said police spokesman Julian Miller. “It’s the smoke. It’s going to be heavy, oily and ugly.�

Protect your heart Walking groups offer improved health, support and much more

F

ebruary is national heart awareness month. The common misconception with heart disease is that it is an old person’s disease or a man’s disease. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), heart disease affects individual’s of all ages and one out of every three women loses their life to this disease each year, which makes this disease more deadly than all cancers combined. Lifestyle factors such as unhealthy eating CORRIGAN habits, over eating, smoking, and lack of exercise can increase your risk for this disease. However, heart disease can even affect those who are fit, exercise regularly and live a healthy lifestyle. The American Heart Association recommends that you get your cholesterol and blood pressure checked every year beginning at age 20. Approximately 64% of women who died unexpectedly from heart disease reported no previous symptoms. While the most widely accepted symptom of heart disease is chest pain there are many other symptoms to be aware of that shouldn’t be avoided. The AHA states that back pain, jaw pain, dizziness, extreme fatigue and shortness of breath could be symptoms of a heart attack. It is important to recognize these

BY DEBORAH KINNARD USC Prevention Research Center and to see a doctor if you have been experiencing these symptoms. Having a family history of the disease does increase your risk but adopting healthy habits can help reduce your risk or even prevent heart disease. Exercising, managing stress, eating healthy and not smoking can support a healthy heart. Regular exercise strengthens the body as well as the heart, reduces stress, and can help improve blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Stress can elevate blood pressure and lead to unhealthy habits so it is important to know how to deal with it and use healthy habits to reduce stress levels. Eating whole foods, like fruits, vegetables and whole grains is recommended while it is important to reduce and eliminate red meat and high sugar, high sodium, and processed foods. Smoking decreases the amount of oxygen to your heart and brain, damages blood vessels, increases blood pressure, and is harmful to every organ and tissue in the body. To learn if you are at risk for heart disease or for more information and tips about improving your heart health visit The American Heart Association’s website at www. heart.org.

Tired of walking alone? Looking for new ways to motivate yourself and others to become more active? If so, starting a walking group is a great way to get moving and improve heart health! Studies have shown that walking for at least 30 minutes a day can help to improve mood, reduce stress, lower blood pressure and decrease risks for heart disease. The thought of walking alone may keep some from walking. So, why not form a group? Walking with others is a fun way to increase support, making it more likely that you will stick with it. Walking in small groups also allows you to connect with others and exchange ideas and tips. Whatever your motivation, Sumter County on the Move! (SCOTM!) is here to help walking groups get started on the right foot. If you have not been active in a while, don’t sweat it. SCOTM! is ‌ moving on! You can join the next phase of this flexible walking program that allows members to set their own pace. Groups will learn how to safely start a walking program based on members’ current fitness lev-

els and goals. SCOTM! members can choose their own convenient walking times and locations. It may be easier for on-the-go parents or people who work full-time to fit in weekend walks. Retirees, on the other hand, may prefer to spend weekdays walking with others. Need a bit more motivation or want a little friendly competition to keep moving? Consider having people of different ages or fitness levels join the group. SCOTM! will share information and tips about starting a group and staying active. As groups feel ready, members can try different ways to step their walking up a notch, by adding new goals and rewards. Sumter County on the Move! is a free group walking program open to anyone who lives, works or spends time in Sumter County. Monthly workshops will be held at the Sumter County Department of Recreation & Parks through June 2014. SCOTM! members will learn how to safely start a walking group, stay active and eat healthier over time. Walking groups can also share ideas online, and participate in community walks. Work site, faithbased or other community groups are welcome to join

THE SUMTER ITEM

Experts increasingly contemplate end of smoking ATLANTA (AP) — Health officials have begun to predict the end of cigarette smoking in America. They have long wished for a cigarette-free America but shied away from calling for smoking rates to fall to zero or near zero by any particular year. The power of tobacco companies and popularity of their products made such a goal seem like a pipe dream. But a confluence of changes has recently prompted public health leaders to start throwing around phrases like “endgame” and “tobacco-free generation.” Now, they talk about the slowly declining adult smoking rate dropping to 10 percent in the next decade and to 5 percent or lower by 2050. Acting U.S. Surgeon Gener-

al Boris Lushniak last month released a 980-page report on smoking that pushed for stepped-up tobacco-control measures. His news conference was an unusually animated showing of anti-smoking bravado, with Lushniak nearly yelling, repeatedly, “Enough is enough!” “I can’t accept that we’re just allowing these numbers to trickle down,” he said, in a recent interview with the AP. “We believe we have the public health tools to get us to the zero level.” This is not the first time a federal health official has spoken so boldly. In 1984, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop called for a “smoke-free society” by the year 2000. However, Koop — a bold talker on many issues — didn’t offer

specifics on how to achieve such a goal. “What’s different today is that we have policies and programs that have been proven to drive down tobacco use,” said Matthew Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. “We couldn’t say that in 1984.” Among the things that have changed: • Cigarette taxes have increased across the country, making smokes more expensive. Though prices vary from state to state, on average a pack of cigarettes that would have sold for about $1.75 20 years ago would cost more than triple that now. • Laws banning smoking in restaurants, bars and workplaces have popped up all over the country. Airline flights

have long been off-limits for smoking. • Polls show that cigarette smoking is no longer considered normal behavior and is now less popular among teens than marijuana. • Federal officials are increasingly aggressive about anti-smoking advertising. The Food and Drug Administration launched a new youth tobacco-prevention campaign last week. At about the same time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention debuted a third, $60-million round of its successful anti-tobacco ad campaign — this one featuring poignant, deathbed images of a woman featured in earlier ads. • Tobacco companies, once considered impervious to legal attack, have suffered

some huge defeats in court. Perhaps the biggest was the 1998 settlement of a case brought by more than 40 states demanding compensation for the costs of treating smoking-related illnesses. Big Tobacco agreed to pay about $200 billion and curtail marketing of cigarettes to youths. • Retailing of cigarettes is changing, too. CVS Caremark, the nation’s second-largest pharmacy chain, announced last week it will stop selling tobacco products at its more than 7,600 drugstores. The company said it made the decision in a bid to focus more on providing health care, but medical and public health leaders predicted pressure will increase on companies such as Walgreen Co. and Walmart Stores Inc. to follow suit.

ROLL CALL

THE SUMTER ITEM WASHINGTON (AP) — Here’s how area members of Congress voted on major issues in the week ending Feb. 7.

HOUSE HUNTING, FISHING ON FEDERAL LAND: Voting 268 for and 154 against, the House on Feb. 5 passed a bipartisan bill (HR 3590) to open all National Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service land to public recreation, including hunting and fishing, unless officials block access to certain areas. This “open until closed� policy would apply to the one quarter of federal property where broad public access is now denied. The bill also would allow firearms to be carried on Army Corps of Engineers water projects, authorize online purchases of federal duck stamps and bar any future Environmental Protection Agency regulation of ammunition and fishing lures as toxic substances. Additionally, the bill would require small movie crews to obtain permits and pay fees for filming on public lands while allowing them to use mechanized equipment in wilderness areas. Dan Benishek, R-Mich., said “over 500 million acres (in the U.S.) are managed by the Bureau of Land Management, the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Forest Service. These lands are all owned by all Americans. It is important that the right to fully utilize these lands is ensured for future generations.� A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, where it is expected to die. VOTE H-1 slugged HUNTING SOUTH CAROLINA Voting yes: Mark Sanford, R-1, Joe Wilson, R-2, Jeff Duncan, R-3, Trey Gowdy, R-4, Mick Mulvaney, R-5, Tom Rice, R-7 Voting no: James Clyburn, D-6 Not voting: None

CONTAMINATED DRINKING WATER: Voting 187 for and 231 against, the House on Feb. 5 refused to add regulations to HR 3590 (above) to address environmental disasters such as the chemical spill last month in Charleston, W.Va., in which thousands of gallons of toxic substances leaked from a private storage tank into a river that supplies drinking water to the city and surrounding areas. The motion sought to require companies nationwide to provide federal regulators with data on chemicals and mixtures they manufacture or handle that could end up in public water systems. Sean Maloney, D-N.Y., said of the Charleston spill: “You can’t tell me that the free market took care of that problem. Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of West Virginians who can’t drink their water.� Doc Hastings, R-Wash., objected on grounds that the motion would “broadly expand the powers of the Environmental Protection Agency.� A yes vote backed the regulatory measure. VOTE H-2 slugged WATER SOUTH CAROLINA Voting yes: Clyburn Voting no: Sanford, Wilson (SC), Duncan (SC), Gowdy, Mulvaney, Rice (SC) Not voting: None

CLIMATE CHANGE AND HUNTING: Voting 181 for and 242 against, the House on Feb. 5 refused to require the secretary of the Interior to factor climate change into decisions on whether to allow hunting, fishing and other recreational activities on public land under the terms of HR 3590 (above). Rush Holt, D-N.J., said: “Sportsmen are among the first to notice the effects of our changing climate as ... seasonal distribution of game and diminished natural habitats become more evident. As the climate continues to change, we will experience

worse drought, flood, wildfire and extreme weather events.� A yes vote was to adopt the Democratic amendment. VOTE H-3 slugged CLIMATE SOUTH CAROLINA Voting yes: Clyburn Voting no: Sanford, Wilson (SC), Duncan (SC), Gowdy, Mulvaney, Rice (SC) Not voting: None

CALIFORNIA WATER DISPUTE: Voting 229 for and 191 against, the House on Feb. 5 passed a bill (HR 3964) that would override or weaken existing California and federal laws and compacts for allocating San Joaquin River water in the Central Valley and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The bill directs more water to agricultural users in the Central Valley and less to the benefit of farming in the delta and fishing, environmental and recreational interests in other parts of California and in Oregon, among many other provisions. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., said the bill “specifically invokes and protects (state) water rights against infringement by any bureaucracy — local, state or federal. This is a legitimate constitutional function of the federal government.� A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, where it is expected to die. VOTE H-4 slugged CALIFORNIA SOUTH CAROLINA Voting yes: Sanford, Wilson (SC), Duncan (SC), Gowdy, Mulvaney, Rice (SC) Voting no: Clyburn Not voting: None

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2014

SENATE EXTENDED JOBLESS BENEFITS: Voting 58 for and 40 against, the Senate on Feb. 6 failed to reach 60 votes needed to end Republican blockage of a bill (S 1845) to provide three more months of unemployment checks for more than 1.7 million of the long-term jobless whose allotments of extended benefits expired Dec. 28. To offset its $6 billion multiyear cost, the bill would change pension rules for some companies. A yes vote backed an extension of jobless benefits. VOTE S-1 slugged JOBLESS SOUTH CAROLINA Voting yes: None Voting no: Lindsey Graham, R, Tim Scott, R Not voting: None

FARM SUBSIDIES, FOOD STAMPS: Voting 68 for and 32 against, the Senate on Feb. 4 gave final congressional approval to a bill (HR 2642) renewing farm and food programs for five years at a projected cost of nearly $100 billion annually, down nearly $2.3 billion per year from pre-sequester levels. The bill would cut food-stamps spending by 1 percent; eliminate direct payments to farmers; expand crop insurance for growers of crops such as corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton and rice; fund rural development, including broadband Internet access; boost exports; add stability to dairy incomes without directly limiting milk production; ex-

COMMENTARY

Obama doesn’t practice what he preaches

W

ASHINGTON — President Obama gave a lovely speech at the recent National Prayer Breakfast — and one is reluctant to criticize. But pry my jaw from the floorboards. Without a hint of irony, the president lamented eroding protections of religious liberty around the world. Just not, apparently, in America. Nary a mention of the legal challenges to religious liberty now in play between this administration and the Catholic Church and other religious groups, as well as private busiKathleen nesses that Parker contest the contraceptive mandate in Obamacare. Missing was any mention of Hobby Lobby or the Little Sisters of the Poor — whose cases have recently reached the U.S. Supreme Court and that reveal the Obama administration’s willingness to challenge rather than protect religious liberty in this country. It is true that our religious-liberty issues are tamer than those mentioned by Obama. We don’t slaughter people for their religious beliefs. We don’t use blasphemy laws to repress people. But we are in the midst of a muddle about where religion and state draw their red lines, and it isn’t going so well for the religious-liberty lobby. As it turns out, many in the audience were reaching for their own jaws when Obama got to the liberty section of his speech, according to several people who attended the breakfast. Michael Cromartie, vice president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, summed up the general reaction of many with whom he spoke: “Stunned.” “Several people said afterward how encouraged they would have been by President Obama’s remarks if only his acts reflected what he said,” Cromartie told me. One table was applauding only out of politeness, according to Jerry Pattengale, who was sitting with Steve Green — president of the Hobby Lobby stores that have challenged Obamacare’s contraceptive mandate. Pattengale described the experience as “surrealistic.” The government’s position is that because Hobby Lobby is a for-profit business, the owners’ religious beliefs can’t be imposed on their employees. Hobby Lobby insists it shouldn’t have to sacrifice its Christian beliefs regarding human life. Pattengale, assistant provost at Indiana Wesleyan University and research consultant to the Green family, also noted the disconnect between the president’s message and policies at home that “are creating a queue at the Supreme Court.” Perhaps Obama’s advisers

counted on the good will of the audience. Or they reckoned that juxtaposed against atrocities committed elsewhere, our debates about birth control might be viewed as not much ado. It is understandable that many Americans might not see these legal challenges as especially pressing, especially if they’d just like insurance coverage for contraception — a position with which I personally have no disagreement. But these cases are more than a debate about birth control. They have far-reaching implications and, as Obama pointed out, there is a strong correlation between religious freedom and a nation’s stability. “History shows that nations that uphold the rights of their people — including the freedom of religion — are ultimately more just and more peaceful and more successful.” Since this is so, one wonders why the Obama administration is so dedicated to forcing people to act against their own conscience. By requiring through the contraceptive mandate that some religious-affiliated groups provide health plans covering what they consider abortifacient contraceptives, isn’t the Obama administration effectively imposing its own religious rules? Thou shalt not protect unborn life. The answer to this question is above my paygrade, as Obama memorably answered when asked by Pastor Rick Warren when life begins. The more germane question to cases such as Hobby Lobby and the Little Sisters is whether the government can accomplish its goal of making free contraception available without burdening religious objectors. Can’t women in Colorado get contraception without forcing the Little Sisters, a group of nuns who care for the elderly, to violate their core beliefs? Their charitable work could not long survive under penalties the government would impose on them for non-compliance. For now, the Little Sisters have been granted a reprieve, thanks to Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Arguments in the Hobby Lobby case are scheduled for March, with a decision expected in June. Meanwhile, another case settled in 2012 reveals much about this administration’s willingness to challenge religious freedom. In Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the question boiled down to whether the government can decide whom a church hires as minister. Since when? Not yet. In a rare move, all nine justices ruled against the government stating that the federal government does not, alas, get to direct who preaches the gospel. But it wanted to.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A matter of conflicting ideologies It is about ideology, Mr. Bailey (your letter in Friday’s Item). Since there are only two major political parties, both having members with ethics problems, liberals who believe in the “give them a fish a day” philosophy usually vote Democratic. Conservatives who believe in the “teach them how to fish” philosophy usually vote Republican. As a conservative, I am no more likely to change my ideology because a Republican is charged with an ethics violation than you were when Sen. Robert Ford was charged. Our country has a soaring national debt due to out-ofcontrol entitlement programs. You and each member of your family now owe $54,500 of this debt. Our own Federal Reserve has been buying $85 billion a month of this debt to keep interest rates low and it is now tapering, causing interest rates to rise, which means it will cost more of our tax revenues just to pay the interest. Eventually, this will become unsustainable, and I wonder who the Democrats will blame when it hits the wall? After 50 years and $15 trillion spent, the Democrats’ “war on poverty” has reduced our poverty rate from 19% to 17.4%. This is because often, the more the government gives someone, the less incentive they have to work. As Ronald Reagan once said, “It is not that our liberal friends are bad. They just know so much that isn’t so.” I personally do not hate or dislike President Obama, but I strongly oppose his policies of ruling by decree and wasteful spending. While all the Presidents before him accumulated $10.6 trillion in debt, he alone has created $6.66 trillion in debt and has three more years to go. Robert W. Wilder Sumter

Lack of theater support is a crying shame I had the opportunity to attend opening night at the Sumter Little Theater’s production of “Old Settler,” and I’ve never been more disappointed in my life. Not in the show, mind you; it was excellent. Eric Bultman’s directorial skill was more than evident in every nuance of the performance. The characteriza-

tions of the cast, Carletha Addison as sister “Bess” Borny, LaShonda McElveen as sister Quilly McGrath, Hugh China as Husband Witherspoon and Tiffany Holmes as the temptress Lou Bessie Preston, were all spoton and completely believable. The set, designed by Randy Abbott, was solid and homey — the props and set dressing, period. Lighting by Taylor Mitchum shows that his skills improve with each work he does. Michael Bacon played his usual magic providing the radio sounds and music of Harlem in the ‘40’s. Costumes by Marge Cowles and Sylvia Pickell were of the era — the only point that got me was Husband’s Zoot Suit, which had the correct reet pleat and tuff cuff, but the waistband on his trousers should have come up higher to be totally Zoot-a-riffic. This show had everything, comedy, drama, heartbreak and reconciliation. It was well worth the price of admission and once again shows what talent is available to the theater lovers in our area. What was my disappointment then? That these actors worked so hard on their lines, their characters, movements and timing, and the theater was not even half full. That the costumers, set workers, prop people, lighting and sound give so much to enrich our community, and the theater was not even half full. The board members set up a delightful reception with good food and drink, yet the theater was not even half full. I have had the opportunity to work on the stage of SLT a few times, and I know the level of work that the cast and crew have to put out for a successful show; the rehearsals, the diligence, the long hours away from family to do something you love, hoping to bring a glimmer of the extraordinary to the Sumter community. To have the “curtain go up” and see empty seats is disheartening. We can do better by the work these folks do, and if we want to keep a quality theater in Sumter, by God we must. Rant mode off. Rev. Fr. Joel Osborne Sumter

Just more Democrat propaganda, Mr. Bailey? It was just a matter of time before a representative from the Sumter County Demo-

crats piped up with something concerning what is going on around us. And, as we all probably suspected, all it contained was basically ‘Oh yeah? Well what about this?’ I saw it coming a mile away. Typical Democrat propaganda. Mr. Bailey, what are these ‘perceived scandals’ that you mention? Are you talking about the IRS, Benghazi, and others? Are you that stupid as to not believe what is as plain as the nose on your face? Maybe you should go check out the ‘perceived facts’ about these so-called ‘perceived scandals’ you mention. I can’t argue the facts you’ve given about how things are being done on a local level. Lets just say yes, you are correct about local politics. The local stuff does not worry me nearly as bad as what’s going on in Washington. It won’t matter what happens in Columbia if Washington is allowed to continue to flush us down the toilet. You mention having the planks surgically removed from my eyes. I’m sure it would be much less painful than you having your lips surgically removed from Obama’s fanny. Dennis Vickers Wedgefield

I guess it takes a basher to know one Allen Bailey, you talked about the Republicans doing some bashing. Well, look in the mirror. You are a Democrat bashing the Republicans. I guess it takes a basher to know one... When we all get together and agree to disagree, then, and only then, will we be able to accept each others’ opinions with respect and still be able to have friends with different political views. Besides, it is only fodder for the papers, and since there are no problems in this world that affect you, then I guess it’s OK to create a little drama in your perfect, no-excitement or worry-filled life. I read about all the gripes and complaints but no suggestions for solutions. What would you do if you were able to make a difference? Let’s hear someone answer that one. If you don’t have a solution to the problem, then maybe you are part of the problem. Mike Edwards Clyde, N.C.

Tigers set to face No. 1 Syracuse in Carrier Dome BY AARON BRENNER Post and Courier

MATT WALSH / THE SUMTER ITEM

Lakewood High School graduate and 2-time national Golden Gloves champion Jeremy Bryan spars during his last public workout on Saturday at Team Robinson MMA. Bryan is scheduled to fight Issouf Kinda on Friday at the Paramount Theatre in Huntington, N.Y., on ESPN2’s “Friday Night Fights” beginning at 9 p.m.

eremy Bryan’s near decade-long climb back into the national boxing television spotlight finally reached its peak last April in Las Vegas. Barely two rounds in, the long journey came to a sudden and violent stop. Bryan, the Lakewood High School graduate, suffered a second-round knockout to Amir Imam in the co-feature bout on Showtime’s “The ShoBox: The New Generation” televised event. The loss snapped Bryan’s recent momentum after he had revitalized

his career since moving back to Sumter and earning his way back onto television. “Everything happens for a reason,” Bryan said. “You’ve just got to learn from it and bounce back.” The 2-time national Golden Gloves champion didn’t stay off his feet for long — and didn’t KINDA have to worry too much about when his next TV opportunity would come, either. Bryan (16-3, 7 KOs) will face Issouf Kinda (16-1, 6 KOs) on Friday at the Paramount Theatre in Huntington, N.Y., as part of ESPN2’s “Friday Night Fights.”

KEEPING UP

The event begins airing at 9 p.m. with Bryan and Kinda slated as the co-feature bout. Chris Algieri (18-0, 8 KOs) and Emmanuel Taylor (17-1, 12 KOs) are scheduled to fight in the main event. “I’m ready to go,” Bryan said. “I’m so confident and mentally focused going into this fight. I’ve got a good game plan going in, and I’m in the best shape of my life. “I’ve been training for this since I lost that last fight.” And Bryan found an old friend to help him in that regard. He met up with Jerome Robinson at a social event. The two had known

CLEMSON — Some crazy pep talk isn’t going to rouse Clemson into bringing its best effort to the Carrier Dome today. Brad Brownell knows his players know. The Tigers are entering the den of the top-ranked team in college basketball — their first trip to play the Orange at Syracuse, N.Y. — and its heralded zone defense displayed in a cavernous facility. “I’ve watched Syracuse for a long time, since Carmelo (Anthony) was there,” leading BROWNELL scorer K.J. McDaniels said. “It’s a magnificent place to play, from what it looks like.” The odds are stacked against Clemson’s program: 2-29 against No. 1 in its history. So Brownell doesn’t have any special speech lined up for today. “Not really. Our guys know,” Brownell said. “They know those guys are undefeated and No. 1 in the country. They watch SportsCenter. We don’t make much out of it.” There’s a definition in sports, the idea of a Good Bad team: one who looks good against bad teams but looks bad against good teams. Clemson (15-6, 6-3 ACC) has taken care of business against lower-tier opponents, but save for a home thumping of Duke, the Tigers have shrunk against competition like Pittsburgh and North Carolina. “Our guys just have to go play well; if they don’t play well, I probably won’t be happy,” Brownell said. “That’s the way it is. It’s as simple as that. These are challenging games. It’s a big step, to go to 30,000 people and play well against the No. 1 team in the country on their home court, and execute against a zone that nobody has very much success executing against.” Clemson maintains the nation’s stingiest defense, allowing 55 points per game, but Syracuse isn’t far behind at No. 8 (59.1 points). The way to beat Jim Boeheim’s patented 2-3 zone, with lanky defenders all over the floor, is through the 3-ball, but

Despite the loss, Slaughter said this will be an important building block for his young squad which loses Demarcus Harris at 220 and heavyweight Nate O’Connor in the starting lineup. “When we started last year it was rough and we came out this year and won the region, and it kind of gave the kids some confidence,” Slaughter said. “You come out here against a ranked opponent and take it to the last match — that’s the second time it’s happened this year — it builds a lot of confidence going into the individual tournament and I believe next year is going to be a good year.” Despite getting the close victory, Ashley Ridge assistant head coach Lee Barkely felt Sumter should’ve won the match. “The kids struggled tonight. I give Sumter all the credit in the world; they came out ready to wrestle and they’ve got a great program,” Barkley said. “They should’ve won. The better team today, I do not think won. We did not wrestle to our potential and we’ve got a

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Jimmy Walker had a hot hand in the cold wind Saturday and built a 6-shot lead in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Walker made his first bogey of the tournament, and that hardly slowed him. He countered with five birdies in 30 mph gusts at Monterey Peninsula for a 4-under 67, leaving him on the verge of his third PGA Tour victory this season. He was at 13-under 202. Tim Wilkinson of New Zealand had a 69 and Hunter Mahan had a 72, both at Monterey Peninsula. They were at 208. Bishopville native Tommy Gainey finished the day at 10-over.

pired in the third period, giving the Swamp Foxes a 15-13 lead. With six classes left, the match was left up to the smaller weight classes. “I think the lower weight classes showed a lot of heart and kept us in it until the end,” Moxley said. “I think we had a great match. Ashley Ridge is a really good team and we fought hard until the end.” AR’s Ty Jamison (106) earned a first-period pin, extending the Swamp Foxes lead 21-16, but Sumter sophomore Trevor Keffer pulled off an upset with a pin in the third period over ranked Ben Whitney, giving the Gamecocks a brief 22-21 lead. “I learned from what he kept doing,” Keffer said of his upset victory. “He kept snapping me down, taking me down, so I just tried a different technique. I just tried something different and it worked and I took advantage of it and won,” he said. “I think we learned as a team that if we keep pushing harder we can win some good matches.” An 11-0 Caleb Jackson victory at 120 gave SHS a 26-21 lead with three matches left. Ashley Ridge’s Demitre McNeal earned a 6-2 victory at 126 and Christian Cuttino and Chris Hudgens got consecutive pins at 132 and 138, respectively, to win the match for AR.

Jordan McRae scored 24 points and shot 6 of 8 from 3-point range Saturday as Tennessee trounced South Carolina 72-53 to beat the Gamecocks for the 13th consecutive time.

see since an 81-64 home triumph on Feb. 17, 2007. Tennessee (15-8, 6-4) bounced back from a 64-60 loss at Vanderbilt on Wednesday to win for the third time in its last four games. The Volunteers are 7-1 when coming off a loss this season. Next up for Tennessee is a home game Tuesday with No. 3 Florida, which buried the Vols 67-41 in Gainesville on Jan. 25. “We’ve been bouncing back from losses all year,’’ McRae said. “We just need to have a better carryover, take one win to two MCRAE wins to that third on, and we haven’t done a good job doing that. I think we need to start doing that.’’ South Carolina lost for the ninth time in its last 10 games. “We just didn’t have it today,’’ South Carolina coach Frank Martin said. “Our margin for error is very slim. We’ve got to play with a sense of discipline (and) toughness, and we just didn’t have that coming out of the gate today. We’ve got to make a high percentage of our shots. We didn’t do that, either.’’

games, and all three instances were just two buckets on each night. Damarcus Harrison did it in the opening two games, Rod Hall was 2-for-3 at Pittsburgh and North Carolina, and Jordan Roper has hit a pair in each of Clemson’s last two games, wins over Florida State and Georgia Tech. It only gets tougher against the Orange (22-0, 9-0). “If it’s a decent shot, you need to shoot it,� Brownell said. “If you’re in rhythm

The Gamecocks entered the day shooting an SEC-leading 37.8 percent from 3-point range, but they went 3 of 14 from beyond the arc Saturday while Tennessee was 7 of 16. Frank Martin said Tennessee’s size on the perimeter bothered South Carolina. Tennessee’s three starting guards are all 6-foot-5 or taller. Jarnell Stokes had 17 points and eight rebounds for Tennessee, while Jeronne Maymon had 10 points and eight rebounds. Sindarius Thornwell led South Carolina with 15 points. McRae nearly outscored South Carolina by himself in the first half. McRae had 20 points in the first 20 minutes to give the Vols a 45-22 halftime advantage. South Carolina relied too heavily on Thornwell, a 6-5 freshman guard. Thornwell scored South Carolina’s first nine points. The game was nearly 9 1/2 minutes old by the time someone else on South Carolina’s roster got a point. The first South Carolina points from anyone other than Thornwell or Laimonas Chatkevicius came when Brian Steele sank a 3-pointer with 26 seconds left in the first half.

and feel good about it, shoot it, because it’s not guaranteed you’re going to get a better look.� But the Tigers did recover from humbling losses at Pitt (76-43) and UNC (80-61) to beat the Seminoles on the road and grind out a home win over the Yellow Jackets. “The past road games against Pitt and UNC, we got caught up into the atmosphere,� center Landry Nnoko said. “But I feel like we’ve grown up, we’ve moved on and gotten our

nasty back. “We got away from our identity, and we kind of played soft on some teams. (Against) Florida State and Georgia Tech, we got back to it.� The Tigers play three games this week, including two in the next three days; after Sunday’s Syracuse game, they’ll fly directly to South Bend, Ind., where Clemson takes on Notre Dame on Tuesday at 7 p.m. The Tigers return home to host No. 20 Virginia at noon Saturday.

SATURDAY ROUNDUP

For now, grim talk turns to competition BY FRED LIEF The Associated Press SOCHI, Russia — All the gloom and grim talk leading to the Sochi Olympics at last gave way to more uplifting things. IOC President Thomas Bach had said it’s “time that it finally starts.’’ And so it did Saturday — the first competition since the cauldron was lit. In all, 98 gold medals will be awarded over the next 16 days, and five were settled on Day 2.

BIATHLON At age 40, Bjoerndalen became the oldest Winter Olympic gold medalist in an individual sport, bringing him within one gold of the all-time mark of eight held by Norwegian crosscountry skiing great Bjorn Daehlie. He was followed by Dominik Landertinger of Austria and Jaroslav Soukup of Czech Republic. “I am in super form,’’ Bjoerndalen said. “I prepared well for this and I am feeling strong.’’

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sage Kotsenburg of the United States won the gold medal for the men’s snowboard slopestyle final which took place at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park on Saturday in Krasnaya Polyana, Russia. It was the first gold medal awarded at the Sochi Winter Olympics.

American Kotsenburg earns Sochi’s 1st gold BY EDDIE PELLS The Associated Press KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — Sage Kotsenburg loves snowboarding for all its unexpected surprises. Winning the first Olympic gold medal in slopestyle, for one. And winning it with one trick he’d never tried before and another that included a self-invented grab of the board he named the “Holy Crail.’’ The 20-year-old American jetted off the first big jump of the slopestyle course Saturday and whirled around for 3 1/2 rotations while flipping twice. All the while, he was grabbing the front of his board with one hand and the nose of the board with the other. At the bottom, he helicoptered through 4 1/2 rotations, while grabbing his board and flexing it behind his back. “Never even tried it before,’’ Kotsenburg said. “Never, ever tried it in my life.’’ Kotsenburg landed both jumps cleanly. The fans in the mostly full stands, knowing they had seen something completely different in a completely new Olympic sport, let out a huge gasp after the second one. On the strength of those tricks — the Cab Double Cork 1260 with a Holy Crail grab and a Back 1620 Japan Air —

the kid from Park City, Utah, known as “Second Run Sage,’’ posted a winning score of 93.5 on his first run. Nobody in the 12-man field of finalists could top him. Kotsenburg put the first gold medal of the Sochi Games into the “USA’’ column. Soon after, he and the other medalists, Staale Sandbech of Norway and Mark McMorris of Canada, were hugging, bodyslamming and turning their sport’s “Kiss and Cry’’ zone into a mosh pit. “I kind of do random stuff all the time, never make a plan up,’’ Kotsenburg said. “I had no idea I was even going to do a 1620 in my run until three minutes before I dropped. It’s kind of what I’m

all about.’’ Kotsenburg’s jumps were the high point of yet another sunny, windless day at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park. Combining all that, along with a bit of half-expected, half-legitimate griping about the judging, made it easy to forget that Shaun White had pulled out of this event before qualifying, complaining about the toughness of the course. White, one of the most cutting-edge innovators in the game, was practicing on the halfpipe below when Kotsenburg landed the 1620 Japan Air. Despite the excitement of that trick, there was some head-scratching going on elsewhere. Sandbech, McMorris and Winter X Games champion Max Parrot were among those who threw the muchballyhooed triple cork, which is three head-over-heels flips — considered way more dangerous and athletic and presumed to be the must-have trick to win the first Olympic gold in this sport’s history. Kotsenburg never tried one. But rider after rider came off the course and concluded that Kotsenburg’s win symbolized a shift in the sport; that judges are looking for more technical moves with socalled style rather than a simple gymnastics meet on the snow.

Bjoergen’s gold was tempered by grief. The brother of teammate Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen died “suddenly and unexpectedly’’ a day earlier, according to Norwegian Olympic officials. Bjoergen, joined by teammates, sobbed in an embrace after the race. “We really did a good race for him today,’’ Bjoergen said. Bjoergen held off silver medalist Charlotte Kalla in the final straightaway to win in 38 minutes, 33.6 seconds, successfully defending her title from Vancouver. Norway’s Heidi Weng won the bronze.

SPEEDSKATING Sven Kramer of the Netherlands set an Olympic record and defended his speedskating title in the

men’s 5,000 before his country’s king, queen and prime minister. Kramer has been bedeviled at the Olympics, notably in Vancouver when his coach pointed him to the wrong lane in the 10,000. But on this day he surged around the oval, winning in 6 minutes, 10.76 seconds and leading a Dutch sweep in which he was followed by Jan Blokhuijsen and Jorrit Bergsma.

ALPINE Bode Miller of the U.S. and Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway emerged as favorites on a treacherous downhill course. Miller and Svindal finished 1-2 in the final downhill training run.

HOCKEY The U.S. won the opener of the Olympic women’s hockey tournament, defeating Finland 3-1 behind Hilary Knight’s goal 53 seconds into the game and Jesse Vetter’s 14 saves. The Americans can reach the semifinals by beating Switzerland on Monday. Canada beat Switzerland 5-0.

MOGULS Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe joined a few other sisters to win gold and silver in the same Olympic event. They did it in women’s moguls, where their oldest sister Maxime made it into the finals and finished 12th. French skiers Marieele and Christine Goitschel and Austrian lugers Doris and Angelika Neuner are on the short list of sisters to also go 1-2 in an Olympic event.

BOBSLED Sprint star Lauryn Williams was selected to push the U.S. sled driven by Elana Meyers. She has a chance at becoming only the second person to win gold at the Summer and Winter Games.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Norway’s Ole Einar Bjoerndalen won the gold medal in the men’s biathlon 10k sprint on Saturday in Krasnaya Polyana, Russia, in the Sochi Winter Olympics. The 40-year-old Bjoerndalen became the oldest individual gold medalist in Olympics history.

FIGURE SKATING

Russia holds lead in team event; Lipnitskaia soars BY BARRY WILNER The Associated Press SOCHI, Russia — Like old times, Russia is dominating Olympic figure skating. The host nation’s disappointment over not winning a gold medal in Vancouver will fade quickly if its skaters’ performances in the new event of team figure skating carry on throughout the Sochi Games. Fifteen-year-old Julia Lipnitskaia had the look of an Olympic champion on Saturday night, dazzling the home crowd with a near-perfect routine in the women’s short program. Then it was Russia’s backup pair, Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov, earning

cheers as they routed the field in the free skate. With only the men’s and women’s free skate and the free dance left to contest in Sunday’s finale, Russia has 47 points to Canada’s 41 and the United States’ 34. Italy has 31 and Japan has 30. With her countrymen chanting her first name, LIPNITSKAIA Lipnitskaia put on a mature presentation that had fans stomping their feet and showering the ice with flowers and dolls. Her flexibility and rapid rotation on her spins and jumps were reminiscent of Tara Lipinski when she won the 1998 Olympic gold.

And Lipinski, who was the same age at those games in Nagano, was on hand to see it. “I have been saying the whole year that she is a dark horse,’’ Lipinski said of Lipnitskaia — yes, the names are nearly the same. “I loved the energy and the fight in her.’’ Lipnitskaia easily outskated far more experienced competitors Carolina Kostner of Italy, who is in her third Olympics, and Japan’s Mao Asada, in her second. The moment wasn’t too big for her in any way. “My trainers told me people would cry,’’ she said. “They told me they would be clapping to the music. But I didn’t think the spectators would be so loud. But it helped me to perform real-

ly well.’’ Just like her comrades. In the new event, Russia has finished no lower than third in any of its four disciplines. The nation that for decades held a stronghold on figure skating medals as the Soviet Union and then as Russia — 51 in all — appears ready to hog the podium again after winning just two in Vancouver. There was nothing ghastly about the performance of Stolbova and Klimov to music from “The Addams Family.’’ Stepping in for world champs Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov, who won the short program, Stolbova and Klimov had the audience in the Iceberg at Sochi’s Olympic Park on its feet well before they finished their routine.

You don’t want to undertrain, but you don’t want to overtrain either.� The results have been staggering, both said. Bryan’s physique has changed dramatically since he started training. “We were just blown away by the muscle definition and just how much healthier and stronger he’s gotten,� Robinson said.

We’ve been working on him moving around more, moving his head more and just making him a harder target for his opponent. “He’s always had power and skill; I just wanted to get him to a point where he’s increasing the number of hits to his opponent without absorbing as much damage as he was.� Part of that comes with a greater attention to detail in his technique, Bryan said. “We’ve done a lot with footwork and hand speed,� Bryan said. “We’re making sure my angles (to punch) are right and we’re working on defense; keeping those hands up. “Hit and don’t get hit. That’s the name of the game.� With that in mind, Bryan has done something for this fight that he’s never previously done — watch film on his opponent. “The Imam fight would’ve gone dif-

He lost a 6-round technical split decision to Chris Howard his last time out. Prior to that, he was on the fast track in the junior welterweight division for a title shot. “It’s going to be a great fight,� Bryan said. “It’s an opportunity to get back where I want to be. “He has what I want.

‘Let Your Love Flow’

with Bellamy Brothers BY IVY MOORE ivym@theitem.com

P

The Bellamy Brothers, David and Howard, will perform for country and pop music lovers on Saturday at the Opera House.

opular country-pop band the Bellamy Brothers will take the stage Saturday night at the Sumter Opera House. Known for a string of more than 50 hits, including 1976’s “Let Your Love Flow,” the band plays in many different styles, from country to pop and gospel. Opening for the Bellamy Brothers will be Roadtripp, a North Carolina band whose style is mainly rockabilly and Southern rock. Sam McIntosh, who plays with the band, teamed with area resident Carl McIntosh, his uncle, to bring the Bellamy Brothers to Sumter. “Roadtripp is a fine group,” Carl McIntosh said. “A great little band. Their style of music is similar to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker Band, the Allman Brothers, that kind of rock. They’ll open the show at 7 before the Bellamy Brothers come on at 8.” McIntosh said the Bellamy Brothers — Howard and David — will perform their range of styles during Saturday’s concert. “They’ve had a fantastic career,” he said, “with hits like ‘Old Hippie,’ ‘Kids of the Baby Boom’ and ‘Redneck Girl.’ I really like their ballads. They have a lyrical, melodic sound, sort of like Alan Jackson or even Dolly Parton, but they can also rock.” The band has often been called the Reggae Cowboys, McIntosh said, “and they do have a Caribbean sound, sort of like Jimmy Buffett.” The Bellamy Brothers have been nominated for a Grammy and hold the record for the most nominations for Duo of the Year from the Country Music Association. They have recorded more than 20 No. 1

‘Funniest man’ returns to Opera House BY IVY MOORE ivym@theitem.com Laughter is good for the heart, so what better time to treat your sweetheart to an evening of chuckles and belly laughs than Valentine’s Day? That might not have been the logic behind the Sumter Opera House’s scheduling the Funniest Man in America to entertain that night, but it’s a prescription for a fun evening when James Gregory takes to the stage with his gentle, down-home humor. Known for proving big laughs don’t depend on toilet humor or sexual innuendo, Gregory has appeared three times before in Sumter, to big audiences and rave reviews. He’s

said, “My mother wouldn’t let me tell (jokes) if they weren’t” squeaky clean. The veteran comedian grew up in the South; in fact, he now lives just outside of Atlanta, near where he was born. At 12, Gregory got his first job in a small grocery and never stopped working, even while attending school. “I had to do my homework at night, so I was up late to see the comedians on The Tonight Show,” he said. “I was always a big fan of stand-up, even though I had no idea of becoming a comedian.” That changed around 1982. “The comedy clubs got their start in Atlanta in 1982,” Gregory said,

“and some friends of mine took me there and kept daring me to go on stage. That’s how I got started.” On the road all but about six weeks a year, Gregory can also be seen on TV and heard on such radio shows as The Bob & Tom Show and the The Big Show with John Boy and Billy. His subject matter ranges from stories about food, funerals and family to current events. On endangered species, Gregory vows: “If you want me to be concerned about endangered species, you need to convince me that we’re about out of chickens.” Last week, he had some thoughts on McDonald’s getting blamed for childhood obesity. “How silly are we to blame Happy

Meals for the obesity epidemic.! Look here,” he said, “McDonald’s don’t deliver. Number 2, kids don’t have money, so their mothers have to buy the meals; no. 3, kids don’t have cars; their mothers have to drive them to McDonald’s. Just don’t take the kids there!” His humor is often self-deprecating: He points out that he earned his title as Funniest Man in America early in his career, when “there were only 13 states.” While he doesn’t consider himself strictly a Southern comedian, Gregory’s subjects often include

Deuward Bultman won the honor of being Sumter’s boy mayor by leading his competitors in the Comrade division of the “Y” program. The two runners-up, Randolph Bradham and Raymond Baker, were named city councilmen. In the Pioneer division Otis Moore was the winner and Archie LeGrand won in the Friendly Indian Division. LeGrand, Moore and Bultman each received a handsome medal. • The Rotary Club met at the

Claremont Hotel Monday. W.D. Boykin, president elect for 193940, was inducted into office with an informal ceremony by retiring President W.E. Covington. Boykin announced that he had appointed committees and that a list would be furnished each member. Past President George D. Levy on behalf of the club presented to Covington a Past President’s pin and extended to him the thanks of the entire membership for his constructive and progressive administration throughout the past year. • Building in Sumter for the first six months of 1939 showed an increase of approximately $18,000 over the same period of 1938, according to the half-year report of building inspector J.D.

The locals had little respect for three Chester hurlers, hammering out a total of 17 hits, five going for extra bases. Every starting Sumter player had at least one hit, while all but two had two hits apiece. • Ed Lewis turned back the veteran Luther Wimberly, three up with two to play, to win the championship of the Sunset Country Club. Wimberly, a former champion, established a one-up lead at the end of the first 18 holes, but in the afternoon Lewis shot a brilliant

37 on the first nine, while Wimberly’s putter left him. Starting the final nine, Lewis held a three-up lead and finally closed out Wimberly on the 16th hole. By virtue of his victory, Lewis will hold the President’s Cup, emblematic of the championship, for the year, unless he should win it again. Last year Vernon (Bit) Wilder was the club champion. • The 1939 All-Star football game which will bring together the college All-American stars of 1938 and the New York Giants, champions of the National Professional Football league at Soldiers’ Field the night of Aug. 30, will be the greatest newspaper and radio connection in the history of sports promotion.

Absentee dad remains object of young daughter’s curiosity DEAR ABBY — I have an extremely bright 7-year-old daughter, “Amy,” from a preDear Abby vious marABIGAIL riage. Her VAN BUREN biological father, “Jake,” and I separated when she was an infant. He lives across the country, so while we shared custody, Amy usually saw him only once a year. For a while I called him “Dad” when talking about him to her, but when it became apparent that he wasn’t going to be involved in her life (and because I was going to be remarried), we switched to using his first name.

My current husband formally adopted Amy last year, and she couldn’t have been happier. Now there’s a baby sister, and Amy is overjoyed. Recently, though, Amy has started asking me why Jake never visits and when she’s going to see him again. I don’t know what to tell her. I feel it would be crushing to her to say that Jake isn’t interested in her anymore, but I also don’t want to lie to her. How do you tell a 7-yearold she should just forget her biological father because he’s never going to be there for her? Anxious in Houston DEAR ANXIOUS — Your daughter needs to come to this realization in stages, and her questions should be answered in an age-ap-

propriate way. Understand that Amy may always be interested in knowing about her biological father, and by the time she is in her teens, she will be computer savvy enough to search him out on the Internet. For now, tell your daughter that the reason Jake doesn’t visit is because he is “busy,” and you don’t know when he plans to visit. It’s the truth. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O.

Growing up in Montana, I had a great appreciation for nature’s beauty. It is that beauty of shape, color and line, pleasing to my eyes and soul, which I attempt to share through my work. Residing now in South Carolina, my work draws on the beauty of coastal birds and the elegance of the swans found in Sumter’s own Swan Lake-Iris Gardens, ” she says. For more information, visit

The purpose of the program is to increase students’ access to public school K-12 educational opportunities both within their school district. Enrollment opportunities will be based upon the capacity of each school. Studentteacher ratios will not change, and schools will not be overcrowded by this program. Requests for student participation will be handled through a lottery if requests exceed available slots. Students who are zoned to attend a particular school and want to attend there are not required to submit any application. This program is designed only for students who want to attend a school outside of their attendance zone. It is not open to pre-kindergarten students. Applications are available in all Sumter School District schools, the district office at 1345 Wilson Hall Road, and online at https://sumterschools. net. Applications must be received or postmarked March 21 and may be returned at any of the schools or at the district office.

T Sammy Way REFLECTIONS

he 1960 presidential campaign pitted Republican Richard Nixon and Democrat John F. Kennedy against each other. Many historians consider this political battle to be one of the most competitive campaigns in our nation’s history. The Southern states were an important voting base for each party, and each candidate made fre-

quent visits to the South. Fiftyfour years ago, Nixon and his wife, Pat, visited South Carolina, beginning at Shaw Air Force Base. This appearance was captured in photographs, the majority of which were taken by Sumter Item photographers. According to The Sumter Item, “At 10:12 this morning (Thursday, Nov. 3, 1960) the

American Airlines jet bearing Vice President and Mrs. Nixon and members of the news media flew over Shaw Air Force Base, circled over the city of Sumter, and approached from the north to land. The silver, orange-marked airplane touched down at 10:40, 31 minutes later than the expected arrival time.” “Mayor Clifton G. Brown pre-

sented the Vice President a plaque from the city ... . Also welcoming the Nixons was former Gov. James F. Byrnes, who rode with the couple to the State House steps in Columbia. There he introduced the Vice President to an audience estimated to be 20,000 people.” Reach Item Archivist Sammy Way at waysammy@yahoo.com or (803) 774-1294.

Designers Teresa Way and Tiffany Marsh prepare arrangements at A Ring Around the Roses on Market Street. The floral shop received its shipment of flowers for Valentine’s Day on Saturday.

Local florists gear up for Valentine’s Day orders BY RAYTEVIA EVANS revans@theitem.com For all of you out there who may have forgotten, V-Day is coming up. That’s right. Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and according to the National Retail Federation, about 54 percent of Americans — compared to 60 percent in 2013 — plan to celebrate and spend an estimated total of about $17.3 billion to show their loved ones how much they care. Americans plan to give gifts and flowers and candy while still holding on pretty tightly to their wallets, according to a survey conducted by Prosper Insights and Analytics. Nearly half of those celebrating, 48.7 percent, will buy candy, and

A Ring Around the Roses also offers candy and stuffed animals as well as a variety of flower arrangements for Valentine’s Day.

more than a third, 37.3 percent, will give flowers. Those who plan to buy jewelry will spend an estimated total of $3.9 billion this year. “While fewer are planning to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, millions of shoppers will still make room in their discretionary budgets to send cards and gifts to loved ones or enjoy a special evening out,” said Prosper Insights and Analytics Director Pam Goodfellow. “Consumers can expect promotions on everything from flowers to date night dinner packages in the coming days, leaving plenty of ideas for those looking to spoil their Valentines.” Designers at Sumter’s own A Ring Around the

Roses flower shop are currently gearing up for the busy holiday. They received the first order for Valentine’s Day in late January and received their flowers for arrangements on Saturday. Tiffany Marsh, designer, said they are prepared to be inundated with calls in the coming days. They also expect there will be some customers who will make last-minute orders. “When someone comes in last minute, we smile and after asking a few questions, we send them out with a nice floral arrangement,” Marsh said. The flower shop will receive the ever-so-popular roses, carnations, daisies and a variety of other flowers. For the special holiday, they’ll also have available

candy, balloons and stuffed animals. Marsh said they suggest customers send flowers and other gifts before Feb. 14, which helps with deliveries and makes the recipient feel special. Although some people are not very fond of Valentine’s Day, the holiday actually brings in quite a few jobs to certain industries. In 2011, more than 1,100 U.S. manufacturing establishments produced chocolate and cocoa products and employed more than 35,500, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In February 2013, about 23,394 jewelry stores in the U.S. sold an estimated $2.8 billion in merchandise. Reach Raytevia Evans at (803) 774-1214.

Covenant Place opens new facility

PHOTO PROVIDED

Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce representatives and Covenant Place board members and employees gather recently to cut the ribbon to open the new Life Enrichment Center. Funding for the center was by donations, said Dan Lyles, chairman of the Covenant Place Board of Trustees. In addition to providing space for special events, the center has a catering kitchen to serve meals and a state-of-the-art audio/visual component to show movies and presentations. Also housed in the Life Enrichment Center is an exercise room outfitted with modern equipment designed for seniors and an area designated for massage therapy.

Artisanal movement hits food courts BY MICHELE KAYAL The Associated Press In Singapore’s equivalent of food courts, hawkers sell steaming bowls of noodles, giant crabs in pepper sauce and slices of pungent durian. In Barcelona, patrons at the La Boqueria nibble finely aged ham and buy fresh produce to prepare at home. In the United States? Historically, it’s been a wasteland of spongy pretzels, giant sodas, greasy fried rice and endless burgers. But that was Food Court 1.0. Recently, shoppers from New York to Seattle have witnessed a reboot of the food court experience, as sumptuous farmers markets-slash-gourmet eateries become increasingly common. “They’re exciting, delicious, affordable, democratic places to eat,” says Stephen Werther, the chief executive officer of Wink Retail Group, which has partnered with food personality Anthony Bourdain to create a New York food hall — today’s preferred nomenclature — featuring dishes from around the world. “It’s really just America catching up with some of the wonderful ways the rest of the world eats.” Bourdain joins other namebrand chefs such as Todd English, who opened a food hall in New York’s Plaza Hotel in 2010 and Mario Batali, whose Italian-themed Eataly, now in New York and Chicago, may be the best known of the country’s food halls. “In history, markets and collective food areas have been around forever,” says Sam Oches, editor of QSR Magazine, which covers the quick service and fast-casual dining industry. “What Mario Batali and Anthony Bourdain

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Customers stand in line for bread at Eataly’s grand opening in New York in August 2010. The spate of new “food halls” in the U.S. caters to the country’s emerging culinary sophistication. are doing is to brand it and make it something that’s a little bit bigger in terms of its scale and its exposure.” And that has paved the way for others, Oches says. In Washington, D.C., retail developer Edens revived a vintage venue to create Union Market, a 40-artisan food hall that is just over a year old. In Seattle, a high-end “shellfish deli” and other local vendors reside in Melrose Market, a four-year-old project housed in a renovated auto garage that smacks of cool. In Chicago, the French Market brings together more than 30 ven-

dors, from a crepe shop to a kosher deli and a bakery from Top Chef veteran Stephanie Izard. “Customers really want authenticity, they want the story behind the food,” Oches says. “With customers wanting to connect to the food, taking this old model of a market goes a long way. A market can tell a lot of different stories.” Markets, of course, have been around for decades, even in the United States. Venues such as Seattle’s Pike Place Market and North Market in Columbus, Ohio, have long attracted tourists.

A new way to invest in a 401(k): ETFs NEW YORK (AP) — Be the market. Minimize costs. It sounds like a Zen saying, but it’s also an investing strategy that more of us are adopting. Every month, billions of dollars flow into mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that simply track a market index rather than try to beat it. Demand is so strong for the lower costs of index funds that it’s pushing the industry to alter its offerings. The latest shift: 401(k) plans built entirely around ETFs, rather than traditional mutual funds. Charles Schwab launched an all-ETF 401(k) offering on Wednesday and says it expects several employers to begin offering the program to their workers later this year. For those who don’t have any investments outside their 401(k) accounts, it may seem like yet another impenetrable acronym to learn. But unlike CDOs, LBOs or EBITDA, ETFs are similar to something with which most investors are familiar: traditional mutual funds. Like them, an ETF offers an easy way to own a wide basket of stocks, bonds or commodities. Owning a share of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), for example, is like owning the entire Standard & Poor’s 500 index, from Abbott Laboratories to Zoetis. The Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND) tracks

an index that covers thousands of bonds from Treasurys to mortgage-backed securities. Interest in ETFs has boomed in recent years. They had a total of $1.67 trillion in assets at the end of December — up 11 fold from a decade earlier, according to the Investment Company Institute. Just last year, their assets grew 25 percent, with a particularly strong surge for ETFs that hold U.S. stocks. Traditional mutual funds still hold much more in assets — a total of $15 trillion at the end of 2013 — but ETFs represent a stronger growth opportunity for fund companies. That meant it was only a matter of time before 401(k) providers began focusing on ETFs, says Steve Anderson, head of Schwab Retirement Plan Services. “Looking at the trends, I don’t know how we could afford to ignore them,” he said. By offering ETFs, Anderson says some 401(k) plans could lower their expenses by more than 90 percent. They’re the ones that primarily use actively managed mutual funds, ones that try to beat their benchmark index and tend to charge higher expenses as a result. “Active management has been dominant in the 401(k) space,” Anderson says. “The industry has done well over all, but we’re not as sure the participants have made out as well.”

Despite infrequence of follow-thru, give daily-deal sites a second chance NEW YORK (AP) — I gave up on daily-deal sites about a year ago. The last straw was a $45 pizza-making class I bought but didn’t show up for. Before that, there was a long list of deals I never used, including a $149 winetasting tour, a $20 monthly gym pass and a $50 boot camp class. Paying in advance for a deal doesn’t work for my busy lifestyle. Daily-deal sites, known for blasting email offers for limited-time discounts at restaurants, spas and gyms, were one of the hottest things on the Internet in 2011. But as more and more websites entered the market, people grew immune to their clogged inboxes and stopped

buying as many daily deals. But the sites have recently changed their businesses to lure back customers. Groupon, LivingSocial and Google Offers are going beyond the prepaid deals and vouchers they began with and are now selling items such as TVs and iPhone chargers or offering free coupons from local and national retailers. The changes have gotten my attention. I’ve found myself downloading the apps again and scrolling through my email’s spam folder to see what kind of deals I may be missing. I’ve managed to save a few bucks at Toys R Us and a local grocery store. The offerings are diverse enough that they might rate

a look even if you long ago unsubscribed from the email lists. Here’s a look at how daily-deal sites have changed:

GROUPON The company started the deal-of-the-day craze when the site was launched in 2008. It still sells pre-paid deals, but it wants to be a one-stop destination for bargain hunters. Its Groupon Goods business sells everything from perfumes to toothbrushes to TVs at a discounted price. Groupon Goods are available on the Groupon app and at Groupon.com/goods. Another service, Groupon Reserve, lets users reserve a

table at a restaurant for free and offers up to 40 percent off the total bill. No vouchers or printouts are required. The server will know to apply the discount. Groupon Reserve, which you can find on Groupon’s app and at Groupon.com/reserve, is currently available in 10 big cities, including New York, Chicago, Boston, Denver and San Francisco. The company also offers over 26,000 free online coupons on its site. Recent discounts include Old Navy, Macy’s and GameStop. You can find the coupons at Groupon.com/coupons.

LIVINGSOCIAL Like Groupon, LivingSocial

has started selling goods and offering free coupons. Recent items up for sale include magazine subscriptions, mattresses and jewelry. The difference between LivingSocial and Groupon is that when you buy something on LivingSocial you are given a code to redeem the item from another merchant’s website. I bought a $6 iPhone charger this way, which saved me about $20. Groupon’s items don’t require a code. LivingSocial sells goods through its app and its website. The company has over 20,000 free online coupons for retailers, including ones from Best Buy, Express and Guess, at LivingSocial.com/coupons.

The better days of fishing O

afield & afloat

ne of the things that I’ve learned in life is to never, ever assume something to be true or fact. There’s a good chance you’ll wind up with egg on your face. Last Sunday morning, I stopped by the pew where Scooter’s other granddaddy, Gene, sits just to say hi. His wife and Scooter’s other grandma, Beverly, leaned over and said she needed some fish and that she was relying on Gene and me to fill the void — and freezer. Not one to ever turn down a damsel in distress, I started talking to Gene Earle about when WOODWARD and where. Now the whole time I’m thinking, ‘How did I let myself get talked into this?’ It’s the dead of winter; heck, we just had snow and ice on the ground a week ago. How are we going to catch these fish? I’m generally a warm weather fisherman and will freely tell you that I can count on one hand how many times I’ve been successful during the colder months. Most of those times have come after a long warm spell. When the weather warmed up a couple of days this week, we couldn’t go. Finally, after a cold front went through on Wednesday night, and the temperatures never made it out of the 40s during the day on Thursday, Gene and I met at his pond a little after 4 that afternoon. A cold front is normally a sure bet that the fish aren’t biting. I assumed that we were wasting our time. Gene was hooking up the

boat and told me to go on over to the boat landing. As I rounded a corner of the pond and could see down a bank, a fish swirled under a small school of bait in about a foot of water. What? That just can’t be; the fish should be in the deepest, darkest hole in the pond on such a day. I parked the truck and began to pull some rods out of the truck when another fish swirled under some bait almost right beside the truck. I had a rod with a chartreuse spinnerbait tied on and quickly heaved the lure just past the swirl and began a retrieve. Bam! I bet I hadn’t turned the handle five times when the fish hit the lure. A few turns more and the fish was flopping on the bank. Well, if there’s one, maybe there’s two. Another cast, another few turns of the reel handle and another fish on the bank taken from about 2-3 feet of water. As Gene rounded the corner with the boat, I hauled fish No. 3 out of the pond. Three fish on three casts; not bad for a day when I wasn’t going to catch anything. All three were about two pounds and the perfect size for the table. I assumed that we are now in firm control of the specific pattern the fish are on, and if we just cast lures to the shallow shoreline we should catch fish. Wrong! We hit the banks for the next hour to no avail and were beginning to think we had it all wrong. One of our church buddies, Tyler, was fishing from the bank and when we arrived at his location he announced that he had taken six fish right off the bank in about two feet of water. We began to think

about it; everywhere that fish were caught was a place that the late afternoon sun had been able to get to and heat up the water. With Gene’s knowledge of the pond, we began to hit places that were shallow and had received strong sunlight during the afternoon. Gene caught the first of the bigger fish right off of a sand bank in about a foot of water. The bait really never hit the water, but was engulfed immediately. The fish almost made it to an old barbed wire fence that ran out into the pond to contain the cows, but Gene worked him away from it and eventually lipped a nice bass of around 4-5 pounds. That fish was released because that is a good size for the upcoming spawning season. We fished on and worked our way into a shallow backwater that had a small creek that fed into it. In the back of the slough, small dimples could be seen where the baitfish were coming to the surface and then a bigger swirl under that. From that spot, Gene and I picked up four or five more fish that ran from two pounds to Gene’s biggest, which was easily pushing six pounds. Tyler never did catch anymore fish and held at six. One of our other buddies, Melvin, well he didn’t get a single fish, but had a great time. Gene and I accounted for seven in the cooler and threw back at least five or six that we deemed too large to keep. Without a doubt, it was one of the better days of fishing that I’ve had in some years and had I followed my initial feelings, I might have just stayed home. The lesson here: go fishing when you have the chance; you can never tell what may happen.

Many fruits grow in containers LEFT: Biueberries are easy to grow and convenient to harvest when placed in containers. The pots can be moved to follow the sun or taken indoors to help the fruit survive extreme cold. BELOW: Raspberries are an easy-to-grow choice for containers. They can be placed near high traffic areas around the property, making for convenient and wholesome snacks.

DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press Many fruit growers are going to pots, and small wonder. Containers are great for tight spaces, easy to manage, convenient for harvesting, and provide better soil than is found in most gardens. “They also allow growing more experimental fruits, such as warm climate or tropical ones, if pots can be moved inside in winter,’” said Leonard Perry, an extension professor with the University of Vermont. Everything from blueberries to persimmons, citrus to currents can be grown in containers. And don’t forget that old standby, the clay strawberry pot. Some potted fruits, though, may surprise. “Pineapples are one of the easiest warm-climates fruits to grow in pots,” Perry said. “There are even some grapes suited for containers.” Potting fruit does pose challenges different from those encountered when growing fruit in the ground. Some things to consider: • Pot size: You can get by with smaller containers and less re-potting if you choose wisely. It all depends on the plant. “You may need to repot every three to five years, trimming off some of the older roots, to keep plants vigorous,” Perry said. “Blueberries are one of the best choices for containers. Look for one of the

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

newer cultivars bred for containers — a half-high or low bush. These can be grown in pots a foot or so wide. For dwarf fruit trees, use plastic containers or a whiskey barrel half, 18 to 24 inches wide,” he said. “Casters on the bottom make containers easier to move about a patio, or inside in winter in colder climates.” • Watering: Plants in containers dry out more quickly than those in the ground, and need more frequent watering. • Fertilizing: It’s safe to wait a few weeks before fertilizing since most container soils include fertilizers. Water-soluble, slow-release fertilizers generally work best. Their small capsules gradually dissolve when watered, adding nutrients to the plant mix.

ON THE NET Stark Bro’s: www. starkbros.com/blog/fruittrees-in-containers-pt1/

• Soil types: “Pots create different drainage and air properties than soils, so don’t use straight garden soil for fruit in pots,” Perry said. “Use halfbagged topsoil or potting soil, with half organic matter such as peat moss or compost. Leave a couple of inches free on the top for adding fresh compost each spring.” • Longevity and yields: You naturally sacrifice yields by growing in small pots, said Elmer Kidd, chief production officer for Stark Bro’s Nurseries & Orchards Co. in Louisiana, Mo. Nutrition and watering are far more important with containerized plants. “For those who want to participate in the gardening realm

by growing in pots, their efforts can be respectable if their level of care is good,” Kidd said. For those who can’t decide which fruit to grow, grafting can offer more choices. Consider taking what John Duarte, president of Duarte Nursery Inc. in Hughson, Calif., calls the “Cocktail Tree” route. Duarte Nursery creates trees with different varieties of the same fruit or different fruit species. A cocktail tree can be a peach tree that has an early-, mid- or late-season peach variety, or it can be a combination of peach, plum, apricot or nectarine — all on the same tree. “I like the fruit combinations best, but I’ve had better customer feedback about trees with a single fruit but producing at different times,” Duarte said.

FISHING REPORT Santee Cooper System Striped bass: Fair. Captain Jim Glenn reports some striper catches in the vicinity of Wyboo Creek on Lake Marion. Live bait fishing with gizzard shad will be productive anchoring or drifting for striper. Fishermen are also having some success trolling at night and early in the morning on Lake Moultrie. Lake Murray Crappie: Slow to fair. Captain Brad Taylor says your best results are around 20ish feet of water, 10-12 down from the river down to middle part of the lake. Try tight-lining up the river. The fish are in a straight wintertime pattern. Use jigs tipped with minnows. The fish go shallow when the sun is up and a couple of sunny days should make improvement pretty quickly. Lake Wateree Largemouth Bass: Slow. Guide Dearal Rodgers reports that the water is cold and muddy, which for him is usually a bad combination. Bites are hard to come by but throwing a #8 Fire Tiger Shad Rap is a decent bet. Lake Greenwood Largemouth bass: Slow to fair. Veteran tournament angler Stan Gunter reports the whole lake is muddy and cold. Throw Fire Tiger crankbaits in 3-6 feet of water. Fish the mouths of big creeks and secondary points. Throw jigs around structure, but mostly fish rocky points. Lake Monticello Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that the fishing for big fish continues to be really consistent. Most baitfish are holding in the 40-60 foot range, and in that range and a little deeper the majority of the big fish have been found. The best bait schools are near ledges, points, humps or other depth changes so that you can fan cast to a variety of depths. If you can find bait with some arches under them or up in them, looking like they may be feeding, it’s probably worth dropping anchor. Lake Russell Striper: Fair. Guide Wendell Wilson says to fish in the 50-60 foot water depth range on the south end of the lake and hold at 25-30 feet deep. Drag bait through the tops of trees by pulling herring, shiner and medium minnows. Lake Thurmond Largemouth bass: Fair to good. Buckeye Lures in Augusta reports to fish about 15-25 feet down with mop jigs, in creek channels, leading to spawning areas. Generally the fish are still deep.

| Lake Wylie Largemouth Bass: Fair. FLW Professional and Guide Matt Arey reports that that fish are in a typical winter pattern, and the bite should get better and better unless temperatures increase and disrupt things. Fishing grubs such as Yamamato single tail grubs behind a ¼ or 3/16 ounce jighead around channel swings, points and at the mouths of creeks is producing, and on sunny days fish will move onto flats to feed. They will still stay near the creek channels, though. 20 feet of water is a good starting depth to target, but the key is finding the bait (schools of shad). Anglers are also having success throwing Alabama rigs in the same areas, and when water muddies up square-billed crankbaits, spinnerbaits and rattling baits are a good bet. As always in the winter on Lake Wylie fish can be caught near the lower and upper hot holes using a variety of shallow water techniques. Lake Jocassee Trout: Fair to good. Captain Steve Pietrykowski reports fish are still in the backs of creeks, also some fish are on major points of the main lake, but they are starting to move out to major points and ledges in the main lake and tributaries. Use live bait and troll slower, but you should get a couple of shots at bigger fish per day in the 40 foot range. Lake Keowee Striper: Very slow. Guide Brad Fowler says some limited results reported on U-rigs with most hits coming on the main channel because cold water in backs of creeks is being pushed out. Catfish: Slow. Fowler says the cold water is keeping things slow, but some results around 40 feet on main lake points. Use cut bait. Lake Hartwell Crappie: Slow to fair. Captain Bill Plumley reports that some crappie continue to be caught around deep brush. Drop very small minnows or jigs right over the top of brush in 20-30 feet of water. Catfish: Slow. Captain Bill Plumley reports that with so much rain and cold water entering the lake the blue catfish have stayed out pretty deep. A few can be caught in the creeks on cut herring and gizzard shad, and the best depth range is 5-30 feet of water. This will vary from day to day and over the course of the day, as fish can move up when the shallows warm and draw baitfish. It is almost impossible to catch channels and flatheads when temperatures are this cold.
