committees, looking at budgets

SERVING SOUTH CAROLINA SINCE OCTOBER 15, 1894

BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Local legislators have shared their impressions of the first week of the 2016 session of the South Carolina General Assembly and sound like they are in different time zones.

5 SECTIONS, 36 PAGES | VOL. 121, NO. 79

“In the House, we are starting off our process of dealing with the budget and hearing from agencies,” said Rep. Murrell Smith, RSumter. “I think it is just a normal first week of session. We’ve come in and basically been in committees getting our work done.”

Rep. David Weeks, D-Sumter,

echoed Smith’s assessment.

“The House started out as we usually do, with the focus being on the general appropriations bill as the budget process has begun,” Weeks said. “A great amount of that time is spent meeting with agency heads and that sort of thing, so we are not actually in session on the House floor but for very short periods of time.

“It allows for committees and subcommittee to meet, and it’s

“Love your brother” was the message at the Conference of One event on Saturday that brought together about 70 men from different ethnic backgrounds and churches in the Sumter area to the M.H. Newton Family Life Enrichment Center.

The event featured two main speakers, Colin Pinkney of Charlotte and the Rev. Andre Rogers of Columbia.

Pinkney serves as executive director of The Harvest Center of Charlotte, a nonprofit organization that battles homeless-

ness, poverty and unemployment in the Charlotte area, and as the chaplain for the NBA’s Charlotte

Hornets. Andre Rogers is a faculty member at Columbia International University’s Seminary and

School of Ministry and pastor of Concord Fellowship Baptist Church in Columbia.

Pinkney offered a message of love for the men in attendance.

“If any one of you says, ‘I love God’ but hates his brother, there’s a label for you; you’re lying,” Pinkney said.

Crosswell Drive wreck

LOCAL BRIEFS FROM STAFF REPORTS

Sumter mother missing since Friday disturbance call Officers are searching for a mother of two young children after a disturbance call at their Ritz Mobile Home Park residence, 611 W. Liberty St., Friday evening.

Law enforcement responded to the residence after a neighbor called 911 following a disturDAVIS bance, according to Tonyia McGirt, spokeswoman for Sumter Police Department. Two small children, a 2-yearold and a 5-week-old, were found by officers alone and unharmed.

Acquaintances said it would be highly unlikely for Shardae Davis, 27, to leave her children alone, McGirt said.

Davis has a history of involvement with Herbert Linwood Butler, who also has not been located since the call.

Butler, 34, of 114 Willow Drive, is wanted for questioning in connection with the disappearBUTLER ance. He also has a warrant against him for domestic violence.

Anyone with information about their whereabouts is asked to call Sumter Police Department at (803) 436-2700. Tips can also be given anonymously to Crime Stoppers at (803) 436-2718 or 1-888-CRIME-SC.

Main St. Council will also receive a report regarding property maintenance code and demolition activities as well as consider first reading of an ordinance regarding the authorization of a leasepurchase agreement not to exceed $1.45 million.

Sumter man suffers gunshot wound to the face on Friday An 18-year-old male is in stable condition after being shot in the face and transported to Palmetto Health Richland in Columbia on Friday afternoon.

Sumter County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the shooting that occurred at Ideal Mobile Home Park off S.C. 441, said Maj. Allen Dailey.

KEITH GEDAMKE / THE SUMTER ITEM

A 26-year-old woman was flown to Palmetto Health Richland on Saturday after being involved in a single-vehicle wreck.

The woman was driving a 2006 Pontiac G6 when she went off the road and hit a tree, according to Tonyia McGirt, spokeswoman for Sumter Police Department.

USC Sumter celebrates 50 years

BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com University of South Carolina Sumter celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and several events have been planned for students, alumni and community members starting with a kick-off event Thursday.

During the Thursday’s event, a new statue, created through a partnership with Central Carolina Technical College’s Welding Department, will be unveiled at noon outside of the Science building, 200 Miller Road, according to Misty

Hatfield, director of marketing and public relations.

“Celebrating a milestone anniversary like the 50th is a real pleasure, and I hope people will attend our celebratory events to see some of the improvements we are making on campus,” said USC Sumter Regional Campus Dean Michael Sonntag.

He said the college is expanding its athletic programs, hiring new faculty and staff, raising funds for scholarships and student support and seeking ways to upgrade its science building into a state-of-the-art facility.

“We need to take time to honor and thank those who have come before us and celebrate the future we are currently mapping out for USC Sumter and Palmetto College,” he said.

The year-long celebration is going to give the college time to reflect on where its been and more importantly, where its going, Sonntag said.

“I want to invite our friends in the community to attend all the events they can to help us make this a year to remember,” Sonntag said.

Lose those pregnancy pounds by eating to fuel yourself

“W

hen I was pregnant with my first child, I gained 60 pounds, even though I exercised daily,” said 33-year-old Sarah Gosmer. “Hoping to lose at least 10 pounds once I delivered, I was mortified when I left the hospital having not even lost one single pound, even after delivering an 8-pound baby. Sadly, it took me close to one year of hard work and dieting to get the extra weight off. And as soon as I Missy did, I was pregnant Corrigan again.

“With my first pregnancy I ate what I wanted whenever I wanted. I was eating for two, so it didn’t matter. With my second child, I refused to gain that amount of weight again, so I watched everything that went in my

mouth. I followed a strict diet and chewed on ice chips when I was hungry. Even though I was hard on myself, I still gained 40 pounds, and it was a miserable pregnancy. I struggled even more trying to lose the weight from my second pregnancy and never got it off.

Six years later I was still struggling to lose those last 10 pounds. I had heard that with every pregnancy it is more difficult to lose the weight, and I truly believed that.

“A few years ago, I became really unhealthy as a young mom. I was barely eating because I didn’t make the time to eat healthy meals, and what I was eating was my kids’ snack foods like Goldfish and fruit snacks. About 2 years ago I met a new group of moms who really seemed to have it all together. They shared with me their tips about staying healthy and making time for myself. And if I made the time to exercise, I definitely could make the time to prepare healthy meals.

Mammograms do more good at 50, group says WASHINGTON (AP) — Mammograms do the most good later in life, a government task force declared Monday in recommending that women get one every other year starting at age 50. It said 40-somethings should make their own choice after weighing the pros and cons.

When to start routine mammograms and how frequently to get them has long been controversial. The latest guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force stick with its advice that women should one every two years between ages 50 and 74. But they also make clear that it’s an option for younger women even though they’re less likely to benefit.

Some health groups urge mammograms every year starting at 40 — although last year the American Cancer Society upped its starting age to 45.

There is some common

ground emerging, that mammography advice shouldn’t always be one-size-fits all. “Age 50 isn’t magic,” said task force past chairman Dr. Michael LeFevre of the University of Missouri.

Women in their 60s are the most likely to avoid dying from breast cancer thanks to mammograms, but there’s clearly enough benefit for the average woman to start at 50, the task force found.

The advisory group wants younger women to understand the trade-offs before deciding: Among every 1,000 women screened, one additional death could be prevented by starting mammograms at 40 instead of 50. But there would be 576 more false alarms and 58 additional unneeded biopsies. Also, two extra women would be overdiagnosed, treated for cancer that never would have become life-threatening.

“They recommended a nutrition education class to get me started. Not only did I learn that I don’t have to spend hours creating meals from scratch to be healthy, but that I can eat more and be even healthier than ever before. The concept of eating more to lose more was difficult to accept, especially for someone who still needed to lose weight. But when I opened my mind up to a different way of thinking and gained the knowledge that the human body needs proper nutrition to fuel it for optimal performance on a daily basis, it all made sense.

“About 15 months ago, I learned that I was pregnant with my third child. I had a tremendous fear of gaining an excessive amount of weight, especially since I was much older. My instructor reassured me that if I fueled my body properly, then I would only gain what was necessary for a healthy pregnancy, so I continued on with what I had learned. I was shocked when it was

time to deliver my baby. I had gained 27 healthy pounds and lost the pregnancy weight plus the additional 10 pounds from my second pregnancy within four months. Eating to fuel my body certainly supported every aspect of my pregnancy and allowed me to have a successful recovery.

“I regret that I didn’t have this knowledge with my other pregnancies.

I see so many pregnant women who are concerned about gaining weight, and it’s frustrating to see them be so hard on themselves. Having a baby is a life-changing experience, one that brings new challenges. The pressure to gain minimal weight or to lose the pregnancy weight fast can harm one’s emotional or physical well-being. Being pregnant is not the time to diet; nor is it the time to ‘eat for two.’ I am a firm believer that if you eat healthy foods often, your body will be better than ever, even during and after pregnancy and at any age.”

Obama signs emergency order for Flint water DETROIT (AP) — President Obama signed an emergency declaration Saturday that clears the way for federal aid for Flint, Michigan, which is undergoing a drinking water crisis.

The White House also said the Federal Emergency Management Agency will coordinate all disaster relief efforts to “alleviate the hardship and suffering� on residents. FEMA has been authorized to provide water, filters, cartridges and other items for 90 days. Flint can get up to $5 million in direct funding, though the state must match 25 percent and more money can come through an act of Congress.

Despite the legal limitation, the governor is considering an appeal to exhaust “every opportunity to provide resources� for residents, Snyder spokesman Dave Murray said.

The tap water in Flint became contaminated after the city switched from the Detroit water system to the Flint River while a pipeline to Lake Huron is under construction. The corrosive water lacked adequate treatment and caused lead to leach from old pipes.

Flint returned to the Detroit system in October after elevated lead levels were discovered in children, and could tap into the new pipeline by summer.

But officials remain concerned that old pipes could continue to leach lead, to which exposure can cause behavior problems and learning disabilities in children as well as kidney ailments in adults.

94-year-old vet receives military honors at special ceremony

BY SHAMIRA McCRAY Morning News FLORENCE — World War II veteran Rudolph Pierce was presented his Purple Heart along with a few other medals Thursday morning as a crowd of family, friends and other military men and women looked on at the Florence Veterans Park.

Pierce, who is 94, actually received the medals on Christmas Eve, more than 70 years late. But the official presentation of the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star, Europe-AfricaMiddle East with three Campaign Stars, Army Occupation with Germany Clasp and the World War II Victory Medal was made at Thursday’s ceremony. He was also presented with military coins and letters at the ceremony.

Several organization and veterans groups, in addition to Pierce’s family, made Thursday’s medal ceremony possible. “You don’t know how proud I am,� Pierce said. “I can’t talk.�

Pierce said he was thankful, and it took a long time for him to be able to have the ceremony. Pierce’s daughter, Rosemary Pierce Sansbury, said her father was afraid he wasn’t going to live to receive his medals once the family had started the process to get him the honors he deserved after serving in the United States Army. “It was about three or four years ago he first started talking about it,� Sansbury said. “So then, I really had given up with the records being burned and all that.�

Lost records didn’t stop Pierce’s family from attempting to get him his honors, and they succeeded. Dozens of peo-

ple were witnesses to that Thursday morning, including veteran James MacMillan, who coincidentally served in the same division as Pierce during World War II. “When he got his injury, I probably wasn’t over a mile away from him,� MacMillan said. “And I didn’t know him until today.�

Pierce was wounded in Ardennes Forest in January of 1945. MacMillan said he read about that in the Morning News earlier this week. “I said, I got to come over here this morning and find out where he was,� MacMillan said. “And lo and behold, he was right there beside me.�

Tom Holston, Pierce’s son-in-

law, spoke on behalf of the family Thursday morning. He said they are deeply grateful and thankful to those who made the medal ceremony possible. “It is deeply gratifying to know that our country and its people choose to remember the sacrifice and service of even those of the lower enlisted

ranks,� Holston said.

Retired Colonel Barringer F. Wingard Jr., who helped organize the ceremony, said he was proud of the community’s support Thursday. “To have so many people here at one time to honor one of our greatest generations 71 years late, we got it done,� Wingard said.

Strangers learn a little about each others’ lives during an informal session at the Men of Impact conference Saturday at M.H. Newton Family Life Enrichment Center.

MEN FROM PAGE A1 The conference was organized by Men of Impact, a group of local men from different races and denominations.

It grew out of the reconciliation and unity that emerged in the Sumter area after the Emanuel AME Church shooting in Charleston in June. In that shooting, nine black people were killed by a white man after a bible study.

Pinkney said racial reconciliation begins with communication and skill building.

“What’s the skill needed to build a relationship?” he asked. “How do I get to know you? It starts with saying ‘I don’t see you as black or white; I see you as just a man.’”

Pinkney said there is a need for workshops that teach basic communication.

“We need to teach people, especially young boys, to have the skill of conversation,” he said.

Pinkney encouraged men gathered at the event to be “courageous” enough to tell their stories.

“Our biases are most often connected to our pain,” he said. “You show me your pain; I’ll show you your bias.”

Pinkney said there is no governmental issue that’s stopping people from working on racial reconciliation.

“Find out the truth, the story, about the person you’re trying to build a relationship

with. You don’t yet have all of the information you need to work on racial reconciliation,” he said. “You’re going to have to uncover it, unearth it. That’s where it starts.”

The Rev. Marion H. Newton, senior pastor of Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church, said the event was born after the Emanuel AME Church shooting in Charleston.

Gifford Shaw and the Rev. Stuart Mizelle of Westminster Presbyterian Church contacted Newton about having a prayer vigil at Newton’s church, he said.

“During that time we had a

lot of people who prayed and gave their testimonies about their biases and wanted to do something about it,” Newton said.

After the prayer vigil, groups of men of different races started meeting to work on racial reconciliation, he said.

“We prayed and talked about some of the things that we could do in this community to have a better race relationship,” he said.

Newton said he was proud to see the number of men in attendance.

“This event is a step that

leads us into the right direction because if race reconciliation is going to take place, it has to start with the church, with people of faith,” he said.

“God has given us that responsibility to become one.”

Men of Impact, a group of local men from different races and denominations, will meet from 6:55 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. on Tuesdays starting Jan. 26 at Alice Drive Baptist Church, 1305 Loring Mill Road.

Wednesday was an organizational day, he said.

“Most of the day we spent time with committee selections because we have one new member and a vacancy with O’Dell’s seat,” McElveen said. “It takes time to run through the roster and get everybody assigned and we also have to pick our seats and things.

“Frankly and candidly, not a whole lot has happened,” he said.

“We really haven’t done anything so far,” Sen. Kevin Johnson, D-Manning, said. “We spent some time memorializ-

CHAMBER FROM PAGE A1 speak to us,” Milligan said.

The keynote speaker is Chakisse Newton, an internationally recognized award winning speaker, she said.

“Consistent with our theme, Newtons’s presentation is going to center around the dynamics between multiple generations in the current business world,” Milligan said. “As our community looks towards the future, not only is attracting and retaining young professionals important, but getting them involved in the community and training them to be leaders is crucial as well.”

She said discussion about how to motivate and engage young professionals is commonplace not only in the chamber but in civic and community groups.

Chamber President and CEO Chris Hardy will address attendees and share some of his ideas and visions for the future of the chamber during a banquet which begins at 6:30 p.m.

Saturday.

“Hardy has spoken to several Rotary clubs and civic groups about his vision since joining

ing Sen. Odell and we dealt with seating committees and those kinds of things.”

Smith said it was an important week.

“Gov. (Nikki) Haley released her education recommendations, and while we are still reviewing them, they are very promising,” he said. “It seems like we are making some headway.”

He said he was pleased with the governor’s infrastructure proposal for areas which lack a property tax base to fund new construction and renovations.

“There’s a real effort to identify areas that are under served in education and trying to strengthen those with the governor’s proposal,” he said.

Weeks said he is concerned that education will not get the funding it needs.

“I think that it will probably be taken up during the budget appropriations to see whether or not we are going to actually fund the Base Student Cost, to see how close to the statutory requirement we are going to come,” he said. “We have not fully funded that since I have been (in the General Assembly) and that’s a long time. There is a teeny bit of more money this time around, but

the chamber in August, but this will give our membership a chance to hear Chris’ plans on how the Chamber will be working with the local government and business community to support continued growth and progress in the future,” Milligan said.

Lt. Col. Kristopher Padilla from Shaw Air Force Base will give a brief update on the upcoming air show Shaw will be holding in May, and Cam Harvin of LA Leasing & Sales will present the military Citizen-ofthe-Year awards sponsored by Jones Chevrolet and LA Leasing & Sales. The speaker for the evening will be Hannah Horne.

“Many attendees will remember Horne from her role as a news anchor on WIS TV, but Hannah is now the director of public policy and small business for the Hilton Head IslandBluffton Chamber of Commerce,” Milligan said. “She will be talking about the importance of supporting small business in a community as well as continuing the theme of how to engage emerging leaders by sharing some of her experiences working with young professionals in her chamber and community.”

there are a lot of requests for it.”

Base Student Cost is a statutory formula that was passed by the General Assembly in 1977.

In her recently released budget, the governor proposes funding Basic Student Cost at $2,220 in fiscal year 2017, 79 percent of the $2,801 the statute requires.

“It the same thing with the Local Government Fund, and there’s a statutory formula that we haven’t done too well at fulfilling,” Weeks said.

He said the General Assembly will also have to deal with the effects of the flood.

“There are a lot of lingering issues in that area,” Weeks said.

Gov. Haley was set to release her budget proposal on Friday, and Smith said he was looking forward to seeing it.

“From my discussion with her office and others about this, I think it is going to be a well-reasoned and sound budget proposal,” he said.

Smith said he was encouraged that the General Assembly is tackling some issues at the beginning of the session

ture a presentation by the Young Professionals of Sumter, an economic development update by Sumter Economic Development President and CEO Jay Schwedler, and a town-hall style panel discussion with representatives from the city, county and legislative delegations as well as updates from Maj. Gen. Mark Kelly of the 9th Air Force and Brig.

Gen. Robert A. Karmazin from the U.S. Army Central Command.

Sunday’s program begins at 8:45 a.m. The speaker will be Ted Pitts, president and CEO of South Carolina Chamber of Commerce, who will discuss the legislative agenda of the state chamber and what is on their radar that is important to business, Milligan said.

Registration for the event may be completed at www. sumterchamber.com and includes two nights’ room charges, the banquet, hospitality and cocktail socials and all general sessions and speakers.

Registration at the retreat will begin at 3 p.m. Friday, Jan. 29.

rather than toward the middle or end of the session, particularly that the Senate appears set to work on an infrastructure bill.

McElveen said he was frustrated the process hasn’t moved ahead more quickly.

“Our constituents and other people in the state are begging us to take up a roads bill,” McElveen said. “The roads bill is in our special order slot, and it’s just a matter of getting to it. We just have to commit ourselves to staying over here and getting on the bill and giving it time.”

He said he is optimistic because a bipartisan Senate working group is trying to deal with some of the issues involved.

“Unfortunately, I am not on that working group,” McElveen said, “but I have been speaking to its members. It is going to take the leadership and the majority of the Senate to join the rest of us who have been pushing this for years.”

Both chambers of the General Assembly will reconvene at noon Tuesday.

Gov. Nikki Haley’s righteous gamble

C

HARLESTON — By broad consensus, the winner of Thursday night’s GOP debate was Donald Trump, followed

by Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, with most of the postgame commentary focused on “the fight” between Cruz and Trump.

Oh, how we love a good fight.

But the real fight was revealed a couple of nights earlier when South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley gave the Republican Party’s response to President Obama’s State of the Union address. She pulled no punches and brought the fight to her own party.

Kathleen Nice and Parker pretty-like.

Rather than exclusively critiquing Obama’s presidency as many expected, Haley turned her sights on the angry tenor of GOP politics and our dysfunctional government, for which she said Republicans are partly responsible.

“There is more than enough blame to go around,” she said. “We as Republicans need to own that truth. ... We need to accept that we’ve played a role in how and why our government is broken.

And then we need to fix it.”

Whoo-hoo. Sorry, but sometimes it takes a girl.

Noting that we live in anxious times, she nonetheless urged her fellow Republicans to resist the “siren call of the angriest voices.” Gosh, wonder who she meant?

To a certain kind of Republican, this was pure heresy.

But it was also brave, necessary and true — especially if the GOP is to survive or ever hope to reclaim the White House.

Haley’s gentle cri de coeur neatly exposed the battle lines. On one side are those who deploy anger, bias, nativism and fear. On the other are those who want to reshape the GOP into a party that’s based on ideals of inclusiveness and respect for others (like, maybe, a first-generation Indian-American daughter of Sikh immigrants), exercises caution through reformed immigration policies without demonizing swaths of people and recognizes that winning hearts and minds begins with civility and communication.

“Some people think that you have to be the loudest voice in the room to make a difference. That’s just not true,” Haley said. “Often, the best thing we can do is turn down the volume. When the sound is quieter, you can actually hear what someone else is saying. And that can make a world of difference.”

Haley confirmed on NBC’s

COMMENTARY “Today Show” the following morning that she was, indeed, referring to Trump, who shouldn’t take it personally.

During the debate on Thursday, Trump said he is happy to wear the mantle of anger because he is angry, and he assured the audience that he and Haley, who was beaming in the crowd, are good friends.

That’s nice. But what’s clear is that Haley, who is widely considered a likely vice-presidential candidate, had decided that she didn’t need a Trump alliance and was choosing the “establishment lane” of the party, or, as some prefer, the “rational lane.” In other words, she signaled her support for Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, John Kasich and Jeb Bush.

But which is it? What does Haley know that we don’t know? As unlikely as it seems at this juncture that any of these but Rubio has a reasonable shot at the nomination, we might assume that she’s banking on Rubio.

This would be a dream ticket for Republicans. A bilingual Cuban (check Hispanic vote), a woman (check), both first-generation Americans, coverage in two crucial states, South Carolina and Florida, and perhaps most important, a younger generation of leadership without the baggage of the establishment. They would completely collapse the smallish Republican tent of older, white males and build a rainbow-hued edifice of diversity in which race and religion are not the first questions on anyone’s mind.

Haley, whom I’ve known for several years, is a polished politician, make no mistake.

She doesn’t accidentally do anything, such as fumble the most important speech of her career. I also know from previous conversations that she has been changed by her time in office, altered by her experiences dealing with the horrific murders of nine AfricanAmericans in a Charleston church and by her subsequent decision to remove the Confederate battle flag from the Statehouse grounds.

The latter was a calculated political risk — and her speech a gamble that truth wins in the end. This truth includes the lesson of South Carolina after the shootings, when the state’s people embraced one another in love and dedication to a shared, higher purpose of unity, forgiveness and racial reconciliation.

Haley’s point: If we can do this as a state, we can do this as a nation. It’s a worthy goal and a battle worthy of its opponents.

COMMENTARY

Future generations need us to handle Pinewood site properly

T

his is a public appeal to South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, all members of South Carolina Legislature, S.C. Commerce Secretary Bobby Hitt and the people of South Carolina.

The toxic waste landfill at the headwaters of Lake Marion deserves your continued attention.

There’s no mention of it in Gov. Haley’s 2016-17 Executive Budget, but there’s a report available here — www. pinewoodstakeholder.com — that provides a comprehensive look at the site’s history and ongoing needs.

Pay particular attention to page 21, “Pinewood Site Capital Improvement Projects Request — Summary Spreadsheet.”

The state of South Carolina must continue spending whatever is necessary to monitor and maintain the integrity of the toxic waste landfill. Here’s our most recent story — http://bit. ly/1U2I9D8 — and there’s a public meeting at 5:30 p.m.

Tuesday, Jan. 19, at Oakland Primary school, 5415 Oakland Drive, Sumter.

We’ve always known that if the landfill starts leaking into Lake Marion, then every water system below the center of the state is in danger.

When you look at a map of South Carolina, that’s obvious. Just the thought of unpredictable toxic chemicals moving into Lake Marion, on to Lake Moultrie and straight on down into the drinking

water in the so-called Holy City of Charleston should send shivers down your collective spines.

Graham All the Osteen gains we’ve made as a state in terms of economic development and continued progress would be damaged badly, perhaps forever, if such a nightmare scenario occurred.

Just look at what’s happening in Flint, Michigan, right now.

As a New York Times editorial noted this week, “Gov. Rick Snyder of Michigan is scrambling to deal with a terrible water crisis created by his administration in the city of Flint, which is poor and has a black majority.

The damage to the nearly bankrupt city and its nearly 100,000 residents by leadtainted water caused by corrosion in the pipes has yet to be totaled, but there is no doubt that the state has a moral obligation to provide clean water immediately for the citizens and to devise a long-term solution, no matter how costly.”

The editorial continues with these chilling words: “This was a catastrophe caused by failures at every level. A task force appointed in October by the governor put the primary blame on the state’s Department of Envi-

ronmental Quality, whose director resigned in late December. According to the task force, the state health department apparently had early knowledge about elevated lead levels in the blood of children but kept silent and did not warn the public.”

We cannot allow such a situation to ever happen in South Carolina.

The first story I wrote about what was originally known as the GSX Landfill was in 1979, 37 years ago.

The Sumter Item has never stopped reporting on the issue, and former State Sen. Phil Leventis has been raising holy “you-know-what” since the beginning. He deserves some degree of sainthood for his continued strong action. Thankfully, S.C. Sen. Thomas McElveen and other members of the Sumter and Clarendon legislative delegations have continued that fight. Many concerned citizens over the course of time have contributed to maintaining public awareness and keeping the issues out in the open.

We can’t take our eye off the ball now. Do whatever is necessary to maintain the integrity of the landfill each and every year. Future generations depend on us.

Prep.

There were many key contributors to the Cavs’ success, but senior Weston Green stood out. He ran rankin for touchdowns, caught passes for scores, picked off passes on defense and handled all of the kicking duties for REL. For their efforts in a perfect championship season, Rankin and Green have been named The Sumter Item Independent Coach and Player of the Year, respectively.

“It’s a great honor and it was a really special year for us,” Green said. “My ninthgrade year we went 0-10, so it was very rewarding for us to come together as a team like that and pull off a dream

Twenty-five athletes from the five local independent schools that have football teams have been chosen to the The Sumter Item All-Independent football team.

The teams are chosen based on nominations from the coaches at Wilson Hall School, Laurence Manning Academy, Thomas Sumter Academy, Robert E. Lee Academy and Clarendon Hall School. The team includes eight players from REL, seven each from Wilson Hall and LMA, two from TSA and one from Clarendon Hall.

Robert E. Lee’s Weston Green is The Sumter Item Independent Player of the Year, while Cavaliers head coach David Rankin is The Sumter Item Independent Coach of the Year. Robert E. Lee went undefeated this season in winning the SCISA 1A

COLUMBIA — That No. 18 South Carolina’s 81-72 win over Missouri was ugly hardly bothered Gamecocks coach Frank Martin.

South Carolina (16-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) missed shots, but they hit the boards and shook off any bad feelings from its first loss of the year, a surprising 21point drubbing at martin Alabama.

“It wasn’t about making shots. It was about playing our kind of basketball.

We weren’t great, but I thought we played more to who we are,” Martin said.

South Carolina outrebounded Missouri 41-26 and had 17 offensive rebounds to five for the Tigers. The Gamecocks made three of their 21 3-point attempts.

But while they never trailed, the Gamecocks also never could put the overmatched Tigers (8-9, 1-3) away either.

Missouri was playing its first game since banning itself from the SEC tournament and any other postseason appearances for NCAA violations.

And the Tigers started the game without much fire, turning the ball over five times and missing two shots — including a 3-point attempt that wedged in the side of the rim — in their first seven possessions.

South Carolina went up 8-0, but never pushed the lead over 13 points the rest of the way.

“Some of the shots they we made were tough, deep shots.

Once they started making shots, their confidence would build,” said Sindarius Thornwell, who led the Gamecocks with 22 points.

Mindaugas Kacinas added 14 points for South Carolina, while freshman PJ Dozier had 11.

Wes Clark led Missouri with a career-best 26 points and had eight assists, accounting for almost two-thirds of Missouri’s 28 baskets. He was 10 of 16

Robert E. Lee Academy’s Weston Green (2) was a versatile player for the 1A state champion Cavaliers this season. He ran for nine touchdowns, caught 10 TD passes and shined on both defense and special teams in earning The Sumter Item’s Player of the Year honor.

by justin driggers justin@theitem.com Believe it.

That was the biggest challenge facing football head coach David Rankin when he returned to Robert E. Lee Academy three years ago.

“The kids bought into the weight room and what we were teaching from the getgo,” Rankin said. “But after losing 21 straight (games), it takes a little while for them to believe they can win a game.

That was the biggest challenge. Getting them to believe in themselves.”

The Cavaliers didn’t just believe they could win in 2015, they believed they couldn’t lose -- and didn’t.

a long process for the Cavs and Rankin, who played mostly underclassmen in his first season back in Bishopville in order to prepare his team for future success.

“Those are the guys that led us this year,” Rankin said. “We’ve got nine seniors and a good class of juniors that will be back next year that really bought into the program and what we were trying to do.”

While his greatest success might have been in changing the mindset of his team, Rankin also adapted his own philosophies this season as well.

“I’m an old-school powerfootball coach,” Rankin said. “I like to run the ball and play defense. But we threw it a lot more this year and ran a lot of screens, which we haven’t done much in the past. But that’s the personnel we had; that’s what I felt like was going to give us the best chance to win.”

Confident Panthers prepare for rematch against Seahawks

By STEVE REED The Associated Press

New England tight end Rob Gronkowski (87) catches a pass for a touchdown ahead of Chiefs defensive back Tyvon Branch (27) during the Patriots’ 27-20 victory on Saturday in Foxborough, Mass.

Serena not worried about injury or Aussie Open draw

By The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera says the Seattle Seahawks are starting to feel a little like a division opponent.

The teams will meet for the sixth time in four years and for the second straight season in the NFC divisional playoffs on Sunday. The Seahawks have won four of the previous five matchups, including a 31-17 playoff victory last year in Seattle.

But this time it’s a little different.

Not only will the game be played in Charlotte, where the top-seeded Panthers (15-1) have won 11 straight, but the Seahawks face a Carolina team that’s more confident and battled-tested.

Some of that stems from Carolina’s 27-23 win over the two-time defending NFC champions in Week 6 when Cam Newton connected on a 26-yard touchdown pass to tight end Greg Olsen with 32 seconds left.

The Panthers say that win helped jumpstart their 14-0 start this season and gave them confidence they could beat the best.

“It was just a matter of getting over that hump,” said cornerback Josh Norman.

It led Panthers safety Roman Harper to declare this week: “We are the better team.”

In many ways, the Seahawks and Panthers are mirror images of one another, which may help explain why the last five games have come down to the wire.

They both have dynamic quarterbacks who can make plays with their arms and their feet; strong running games led by powerful, bruising backs; and defenses that excel at keeping the opposition out of the end zone.

But the most intriguing matchup may be Carolina’s No. 1 scoring offense against Seattle’s defense, which has allowed the fewest points in the league.

Newton became the first QB in league history to throw for 35 touchdown passes and run for 10 scores in a season. He’ll face a defense loaded with playmakers.

“This is the most diversified offense that we see, and the dynamics of what Cam is able to do and the way that they’re willing to run with him makes this a really difficult offense to prepare for,” Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said.

“You’ve seen everybody have trouble with it all year long, so we’ll see if we can keep it down and try to keep the score within reach and see if we have a chance.”

NOW BOARDING After last week’s sudden turn when Marshawn Lynch ended up not making the trip to Minnesota, all indications are “Beast Mode” will be back against the Panthers. If Lynch plays, it will be his first action since Week 10 against Arizona prior to having abdominal surgery.

Lynch was a full participant in practice for the second straight week.

Carolina did an adequate job slowing down Lynch in the first meeting, holding him to 54 yards on 17 carries and no run longer than 17 yards.

In seven career games versus Carolina as a member of the Seahawks, Lynch has never rushed for more than 89 yards.

STEWART’S CONDITIONING Meanwhile, Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart makes his return after missing the last three games with a foot injury. Head coach Ron Rivera said Stewart’s foot is not a problem, but is a little concerned over his conditioning after missing so much time. Stewart, who averaged 18.6 carries per game in 13 games, said he’ll be just fine and will do “whatever it takes” to be effective.

BALTIMORE — Multiple people with knowledge of the situation say Chris Davis has agreed to a seven-year, $161 million contract with the Baltimore Orioles, pending a physical.

The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because the Orioles have not announced the transaction.

The 29-year-old Davis has been with Baltimore since 2011. He hit a major-league leading 47 home runs and amassed 117 RBIs last year.

Davis became a free agent after the 2015 season. The Orioles were his most aggressive suitor, offering a sevenyear deal last month.

Davis stalled making a decision. His decision to agree to terms came days after Baltimore reportedly made an offer to hard-hitting free agent Yoenis Cespedes.

eagle and a 66.

Snedeker was at 12-under 128.

Fifteen players were separated by only four shots at the halfway point. British Open champion Zach Johnson and Luke Donald were among four players who were two shots behind. The group at 9-under 131 included 49-year-old Jerry Kelly.

Vijay Singh, who turns 53 next month and can become the oldest PGA Tour winner in history, shot 69 and was four back.

A ‘long road’ back to Los Angeles for Rams INGLEWOOD, Calif. —Stan Kroenke stepped to the microphones at the Forum with football fans chanting his name. When the owner first said the words “Los Angeles Rams,” they erupted in wild cheers.

What a difference LA makes for Kroenke and his Rams, who formally returned to the West Coast on Friday with their first public appearance since getting NFL permission to end 21 years in St. Louis.

The Rams and their fans were bursting with anticipation and excitement when they assembled mere steps away from the club’s planned stadium just steps away in Inglewood.

HONOLULU — Brandt Snedeker feels good about his swing and is making plenty of putts, a combination that has given him the 36-hole lead at the Sony Open.

Snedeker played bogey-free Friday at Waialae Country Club for a 5-under 65. He had a one-shot lead over Kevin Kisner, who couldn’t get a putt to fall until a 12-footer he made on his final hole for The Associated Press

From Page B1 from the field and had six rebounds.

South Carolina looked lethargic at times. There wasn’t much movement to the offense, and they turned the ball over 13 times.

The defense struggled, too.

Missouri shot 49.1 percent in the first half and Ryan Rosburg had 12 points, hitting all six of his shots.

“We’ve been down like that before, and it has gone the other way. Maybe we are learning something,” Missouri coach Kim Anderson said.

But it wasn’t enough for the Tigers to win their first road game for Anderson in his second season. Missouri’s last win on the road came 21 games ago at Arkansas in January 2014.

“Someday we will win one,” Anderson said. “It will be big news.”

TIP-INS Missouri: The Tigers shot 36.8 percent from 3-point range. They came into the game shooting 32 percent from behind the arc. ... Missouri’s leading scorer and rebounder, Kevin Puryear, had two points and one rebound in 12 minutes as he struggled with foul trouble.

South Carolina: The Gamecocks shot 66.7 percent (22 of 33) from the free throw line.

Missouri made nine of 13 free throws. ... South Carolina won three of its first four SEC

games for the first time since 2011. ... The team honored Thornwell before the game for being the 42nd Gamecock to score 1,000 points in his career.

CLARK’S RETURN Clark’s last trip to South Carolina ended horrifically, when Michael Carrera landed on his arm in a scramble, leaving his elbow turned at a grotesque angle.

“There was a little nervousness. But as time went on, I got to playing and I didn’t think about it,” the junior said.

Martin noted Clark’s amazing game Saturday and the 11 points he scored against the Gamecocks before the injury last year.

“I tell you what — he loves kicking our tails,” Martin said.

SPECIAL GUEST New South Carolina football coach Will Muschamp appeared at halftime, introducing his assistants. Offensive line coach Shawn Elliott got the biggest cheer. Elliott was the interim coach last season after Steve Spurrier stepped down and went 1-5 in the role.

He was the only assistant Muschamp retained.

Muschamp didn’t say much, but ended with a promise.

“I can only guarantee you one thing: We’re not going to get outworked,” Muschamp said.

a win over Florida State two weeks ago, then an overtime victory at Syracuse before its three straight takedowns of ranked foes.

The Tigers looked like their tank may have run out as Miami opened a 57-51 lead with about 7 minutes left.

That’s when Clemson went on a 25-8 run to end the game and continue its stunning ACC start.

“I thought it was a terrific game for 35 minutes and then we came unglued,” Miami coach Jim Larranaga said.

Davon Reed led Miami with 17 points while high-scoring point guard Angel Rodriguez was held to three points on 1-of-7 shooting.

Larranaga said Rodriguez has faltered in recent games.

If the senior does not rebound, it will be difficult for Miami to contend for the ACC. “It’s a real concern of mine,” the coach said.

Jordan Roper scored 18 points for the Tigers, who hadn’t beaten three ranked teams in a season since 1998.

The Tigers had to come back to earth sometime, right?

Not yet.

Miami had a six-point lead in the second half, the last time on Tonye Jekiri’s basket with 7:48 to play. That’s when the Tigers took control. Blossomgame scored eight straight points to draw Clemson within a point before Donte Grantham hit the goahead basket.

Roper followed with a jumper and a 3-pointer to open a 66-60 lead for the Tigers.

Miami could not respond and lost their second consecutive game following an eight-game win streak.

yet it’s already garnered a number of honors. “The Stone Necklace,” her first literary novel — her three Caleb Knowles mysteries have been published previously — has been selected as the Midlands’ 2016 One Book, One Community work, an audio version has already been recorded, and the novel will be serialized in The State newspaper beginning with a preview next Sunday.

“The Stone Necklace” is the sixth book in Richland Library’s One Book, One Community event that each February recommends a book for residents to read together.

Numerous events are planned to enhance the reading experience, including discussion groups, both “live” and online; there will even be a jewelry-making class for those who want their own “stone necklace.”

This year, not only are the readers from the Columbia area, the book is set there.

Even though she is a Sumter native, Damron knows Columbia well, having lived, attended graduate school and practiced clinical social work there for many years.

The city is as much a character as the people in “The Stone Necklace,” and that makes it even more real to locals and other people who know the city.

That said, it is, of course, Damron’s character development and plot that draw us in, beginning on a morning in the Hastings family kitchen where they are preparing for the day, much like any family.

Except this family’s day will not proceed “normally.”

Shortly after the story begins, patriarch Mitch Hastings, the man who is perhaps the best person in the book, is fatally injured in a wreck. Mitch, however, remains the focus of the story, as his life and death impact not just his family,

but many of the other characters dealing with grief, guilt, addiction, homelessness, mental illness, a serious eating disorder and more.

Damron takes each of her characters through the grieving process, which forces them to deal with their personal and interpersonal problems. Each of them is deftly drawn, and Damron’s empathy for them is contagious for the reader.

Without Mitch, new widow Lena, still guilty over her recent betrayal of her husband, struggles to come to terms with the loss of her husband and her healing marriage, newly discovered financial problems and difficult relationships, particularly with her daughter Becca.

Fifteen-year-old Becca, Mitch’s anorexic daughter, seems most bereft. Damron shows us her grief and longing as Becca sits in her father’s recliner, “ ... squirming until her butt found the concaved center of the leather cushion that had fit her father perfectly.

She felt for the wood handle and tugged, raising the foot stool, and inserted her heels in the two dents that marked where Dad’s giant feet used to rest. The remote rested on the narrow table beside his chair. His fingers had been the last to hold it. She sniffed the hard plastic for a trace of him but found none.”

In contrast to Damron’s insightful communication with the reader, her characters maintain a distance from each other; while we are cheering for each of the troubled characters, they do not really know themselves.

Each, however, begins to awaken during the course of the story.

Thanks to her deep understanding of her characters and her adroit description, readers become more than mere observers: We become part of the micro communities in “The Stone Necklace.”

We are the homeless, or at least those with whom they interact; likewise, we are dropped into the lives of addicts, dysfunctional families and those who appear “average” but are struggling for normalcy like most of us. We are all in recovery in some way, we might infer.

If there is a “hero” in “The Stone Necklace,” it is the

BISHOPVILLE PRIMARY SCHOOL

SPRING SEMESTER BEGINS

Campaign fever has hit Bishopville Primary School. Third-grade students learned about the democratic process as they elected officers for their grade level. This activity was designed to enhance their study of the three branches of government. The students went on the Internet to find out the responsibilities of each office, decided whether to run for the office and began preparing campaign speeches. Students had to write and present their own speeches to the students, parents and administrators leading up to the election.

Sumter County Voter Registration Director Patricia Jefferson assisted in the process. She brought voting booths, the latest electronic voting machine, a ballot box and “I voted” stickers. Students signed in to the voting area, voted in one of the booths and placed their ballot in the ballot box. Each student received an “I voted” sticker and learned about how the electronic voting machines work. Students were able to see and touch an actual voting machine as their teachers explained the process.

Parents participated throughout the whole process. The students were excited about voting and anxiously awaited the announcement of the grade level officers at the end of the day.

LEE CENTRAL MIDDLE SCHOOL Lee Central Middle Boys Basketball Team improved to 6-0 on the season with a 61 to 12 victory over East Clarendon.

SHADOW DAYS SCHEDULED Groundhog Shadow Day for middle and high school students and ShadowA-Relative Day for fourth- and fifthgraders in Sumter School District is scheduled for Feb. 2. Student permission forms must be submitted to the guidance department at the elementary schools or to the career specialists at the middle and high schools no later than 4 p.m. on Jan. 26 in order to participate.

Job Shadow Day is a work-based learning opportunity and is monitored by the South Carolina State Department of Education. Students in grades 6 through 12 participate in the Groundhog Job Shadow Day. High school students must shadow at a worksite relative to their career cluster. Eligible fourth- and fifth-grade students may participate only in the Groundhog Job Shadow-A-Relative day. The students may shadow a family member aged 18 and above.

In order to participate, students must have the work site superviser, the parent or guardian and the principal sign the permission form. Eligible students must have good discipline and attendance records and passing grades.

The shadowing experience gives young people a new perspective on their studies through hands-on learning and a one-day mentoring experience. It enables students to experience how the skills they learn in the classroom can be applied to the real world.

This event also provides an opportunity to introduce future employees to the vast array of careers available in their community.

The day will not be counted against a student’s attendance record provided the student obtains the prior approval and then completes and returns the shadow questionnaire after the experience. Safety is a top priority for students who participate in Groundhog Shadow Day, and limitations may be in effect for some sites.

For further information or questions, interested persons may contact a career specialist at the middle and high schools or the guidance counselor at the elementary schools. Sumter School District appreciates all the local

businesses and individuals who host students for Shadow Day.

SCOTT’S BRANCH MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL If you walked into a New Tech classroom at Scott’s Branch High School, you would probably be greeted by one of our New Tech ambassadors. The ambassadors roles are to introduce themselves and share the objective for the day. They may also identify the prerequisite skills for a particular lesson or project and the purpose for the project or lesson. Visitors to New Tech

THE SUMTER ITEM classes often get a glimpse of the project(s) students are working on.

These ambassadors are students in grades nine through 11 who are engaged in project-based learning and understand the process. They have either volunteered or have been selected by teachers to serve in this capacity.

When Scott’s Branch became a New Tech School three years ago, the ambassadors program was implemented and has grown into more than 75 student ambassadors. At first, it was challenging to get students to speak candidly about their New Tech classroom experiences. Now, however, students eagerly discuss their experiences.

“Serving as a New Tech ambassador is a great way to enhance my public speaking skills, and it will also make me a better speaker in the future,” says Junior Regina Milton. “It is a great way to build your confidence and share with visitors what we do as a New Tech School,” sophomore Deondre Brunson says.

New Tech students are realizing that while New Tech classes use computers, the computers are only a tool to enable and extend the learning. They also realize that project-based learning is a process where students are really engaged in the learning process and a culture is created to empower to learners. New Tech ambassadors are making a difference at Scott’s Branch. — Beverly Spry

Each weekday morning agricultural tips are given by students from Furman High School, under the advisement of Drefus Williams.

• Take an old house with a lot of history, mix in two energetic cooks and you have Ten Duke Street — a spot of fine dining in this tiny Clarendon County town. The restaurant opened its doors on Jan. 2, and owners David Van Wynsberghe and Eddie Hawkins have been busy ever since.

The restaurant is just off Summerton’s Main Street on Duke Street in a house that was used mostly as a private residence since it was built in 1916.

• Pinochle, hot lunch and friendship are some of the things that make the Golden Moments Club special to its members. Their crafts shop — featuring such items as embroidered pillows, ornaments, quilts and wood items — makes the club special to Sumter. The club, which meets at the Spectrum building off Pinewood Road, was organized in 1977. At the time, “There was literally no place for the folks to really go, director Eileen Campbell said. The club is self-supporting except for the building, utilities, salaries and major repairs, which are funded through the county’s Parks and Recreation Commission.

• Old church programs, newspaper ads, a bit of glue and a lot of inspiration has turned into a new hobby for Lucille Lane. Lane, a lifetime South Carolinian who lives near Lynchburg, had been working on bead necklaces made from the pages of all kinds of paper. She said she likes the necklaces because they look like the old beads

that she got while she was in grammar school. Lane works with a senior citizens’ group at the mental health center, and “they’re just carried away with it,” she said. “They want me to show them how to make them.”

• “I believe.” Every time the varsity girls’ basketball team of St. Jude Central High breaks a huddle, the players chant the above phrase in unison, and with seven wins in their first 10 games, the Padres are beginning to make believers out of others. It hasn’t been easy, though. A scant two seasons ago, when 50 point deficits weren’t an unusual occurrence, self-confidence was hard to come by for the girls in green and gold.

• Police officials are increasing patrols around utility plants to guard against terrorists, but say any kind of attack is unlikely. Local authorities met with Air Force officials to discuss what they would do in the event of a terrorist attack on Sumter. “This is just a precautionary type activity,” Sumter County Sheriff Tommy Mims said. “We have no information available to either military or civilian law enforcement people that there is any threat.”

• Support groups, daily prayer services and regular town meetings at Shaw Air Force Base are helping keep family members calm, even as their loved ones face a war deadline just hours away, the head of Shaw’s Family Support Center says.

But Dr. Paul Mazeroff says he’s not sure what to expect from base residents if troops from Shaw become involved in a shooting war with Iraq.

He said the support center has been getting few calls – only about three a week – from distraught dependents, and added that the base hospital’s mental health service hasn’t noted an influx of patients upset by the Middle East.

• Clarendon School District 2 board members have appointed Dr. Sylvia Weinberg to another one-year term as the district’s superintendent.

Board members voted on the reappointment following an executive session. Weinberg was first appointed to the superintendent’s position in July 1968. She had previously served as assistant superintendent for instruction and had been principal of Manning Primary School.

CLUB DIGEST SUMTER ART ASSOCIATION The Sumter Art Association met Dec. 1 in the parish house at the Church of the Holy Comforter. President Floride McKoy welcomed 54 members and four guests.

Jane Watson introduced the program for the afternoon, which was presented by the Lakewood Voices of Lakewood High School under the direction of Herbert Johnson. The chorale performed several selections appropriate for the Christmas season, accompanied by Ann Dave at the piano. For the finale, the audience joined the chorale in singing “Silent Night.”

The business meeting followed and opened with Gene Smith’s devotional meditation on giving thanks for all blessings. Kathy Creech announced a number of cultural events taking place during December in the Sumter area.

SUMTER LIONS CLUB Sumter Lions Club President Earl Klaege presented a Dr. Franklin Mason Fellowship award and a pin to Lion Billy Steele on Dec. 8, 2015. Billy served the club for many years as Lion Tamer and served on many committees; he has also been very supportive of the club.

The Dr. Franklin Mason Fellowship Program is a prestigious way to show commitment to the humanitarian efforts of SC Lions Charitable Services and further support the work of Lions. The FMF program was established in 1974 in honor of Dr. Franklin Mason, a Past International Director of Lions Clubs International and individual leading supporter of the Foundation. The FMF is a recognition of unrestricted donations of $1,000 to SC Lions Foundation. A portion of the Sumter Lions Club Candy Day and White Cane Day was contributed to the South Carolina Charitable Foundation.

The club continues to serve local qualifying individuals with vision and hearing programs.

Robert Young recently presented to both Carl Simpson of Simpson’s Ace Hardware and to Joe Quinlin, manager of Walmart on Broad Street, the Lions Club Support Appreciation Plaques. Sumter Lions Club Candy Day and Sumter Lions Club White Cane Day have been held at the entrance and exit doors of both businesses.

The services the Lions Club offers

across South Carolina and in Sumter are funded by the donations received from the general public. The Sumter Lion Club urges everyone to participate in these events so that Sumter Lions may continue to help the uninsured and underinsured in our community. When the SC Lions conduct fund raisers, 100 percent of the proceeds stay in South Carolina, benefiting residents of their communities the clubs are based in and individuals around the state who are in need. For every one dollar contributed, Lions Clubs are able to leverage, through sound fiscal management, an additional four dollars of services, that’s a 4 to 1 return on contributions.

Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest volunteer service organization. The 4,000 South Carolina Lions Club volunteers provide humanitarian services such as eye glasses, eye surgeries, and hearing aids for those who cannot afford them. Sumter Lions Club has been a part of the Sumter community for 76 years. Sight and hearing conservation have been the major projects for Lions Clubs International since Helen Keller challenged the Lions to be her “knights of the blind.” Together with SC Lions Charitable Services organization, the Lions Clubs of SC have developed programs to educate the public about health issues and to improve sight and hearing among those most in need.

Walmart Manager Joe Quinlin presented a check to the club for a $1,500 grant from Walmart Community Grants Team. This grant will be used to pay for glasses for qualifying individuals in Sumter County.

Contact Sumter Lion Club members Timothy Richards, membership chairman, at (803) 983-3277, or Carolyn Klaege, membership committee, (803) 469-6059 for information on how to become a Lion.

THE SUMTER ITEM

Damron talks about her novel, ‘The Stone Necklace’

BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com

C

arla Damron’s latest novel, “The Stone Necklace,” will be released on Jan. 25, but readers will get a preview in The State newspaper on Sunday, Jan. 24.

The Sumter native and longtime Columbia resident admits to being excited about her first literary novel having been selected for the Midlands’ 2016 One Book, One Community project and is looking forward to the many associat- DAMRON ed events coming up over the next few months.

“So many events are coming up in February to celebrate this book and its message,” she said. “I’m looking forward to visiting Books on Broad in Camden on Feb. 13. I’d love to have some Sumter folks stop in.”

Damron answered a few questions about “The Stone Necklace”:

The Sumter Item: Tell us about the experience of having your book selected for the One Book, One Community project, The State’s serialization and other events?

Damron: I’m beyond thrilled to have this opportunity. And, if I’m honest, a little terrified. I love it that “The Stone Necklace” will have a wide readership, and the serialization may give it readers who don’t normally stop in bookstores.

Story River Books has been amazing in its support of this project. Doing an audio version was a new venture for them but we’re very happy with how it turned out. For me, my baby became our baby — the reader, Vicky Saye Henderson and the audio guru, Ron Whitten, took such care with this project. As a writer, I can’t ask for more than that.

TSI: Have you been able to listen to the recording of your book? What’s it like hearing someone else read your work out loud?

Damron: I haven’t yet heard the whole thing, but Vicky Saye Henderson did an amazing job. Her portrayal of each

point of view character is nuanced and real. She knows these characters, almost as well as I do. It helps that she’s a professional actress.

TSI: You’ve said in the past, regarding your mysteries, that “All the characters are based on Carla.” How does that apply to the characters in “The Stone Necklace?”

Damron: Each character usually represents some part of me. But in “The Stone Necklace,” because I put a strong focus on each character’s internal world, they became quite real to me. They are each their own selves.

TSI: You’ve got homeless characters, an addict, an anorexic/bulimic, grieving family members in “The Stone Necklace.” What advantage does being a social worker/therapist give you in writing about your characters?

Damron: My 30-plus years working in mental health has let me meet and learn from some amazing people. I’ve seen them at their worst. I’ve seen them find their way to recovery. I’ve watched it happen in so many people, and that was

what I wanted to write about.

Lena’s marriage recovers from her affair. Sandy faces a tremendous struggle in her recovery from addiction. Becca’s dealing with her eating disorder issues, with grief and with simply being a teenager. For each, recovery is not a linear process, but a winding one.

TSI: Did you do field research for this book, like you did for “Death in Zooville?”

Damron: I did. I interviewed several clinicians who have worked with young people struggling with eating disorders and read several memoirs.

And I interviewed a commercial realtor so that I had a better understanding of Mitch’s business.

TSI: How was writing this book different from doing your three mysteries?

Damron: I like to say that this project is braided stories. I have five point-of-view characters, each with their own story arc. At times, it felt like I was writing five novels. Later, I had to condense, strengthen and weave them all together.

The first 200 pages of this project was my MFA thesis

(Damron holds a master of fine arts in creative writing from Queens University in Charlotte). I worked very hard on the narrative — my focus wasn’t on plot/suspense like in the mysteries. It was on peeling back the layers of these characters, on giving the readers a glimpse at what happens at their core.

TSI: With the success of “The Stone Necklace,” will you now concentrate on literary novels, or will you return to mysteries?

Damron: I don’t plan to choose! I want to do both.

TSI: You’re involved in human trafficking awareness and activism. Will we see any of that in your future works?

Damron: Absolutely. My current work in progress is a suspense novel about human trafficking, told from the perspectives of a 14-year-old trafficking victim and a social worker looking for her missing sister.

My work on the Richland County Human Trafficking task force has taught me that this crime happens more often than most people think. And it can be prevented.

USC show ‘The Space Between’ explores black women’s trauma FROM STAFF REPORTS

hocking, vile, outrageous, repellent, bizarre, or just plain “gross” — take your pick of any number of adjectives for this thing. The scientific name may be translated as “disgusting” and “red.”

Of course, it is not a plant at all, but a fungus. This week’s mystery may not be a plant, but it is still mysterious!

At one time, all organisms on earth were presumed to be either plant or animal, but considerable scientific research has modified this scheme to include other groups. Although they are not true plants, the study of fungi remains a component of botany.

Our fungus is one of the fascinating members of the “stinkhorn” group, which are related to more familiar mushrooms and puffballs. All of the stinkhorns are characterized by producing a strong odor at the time their spores are shed, and this one is no exception.

The reason we are seeing this unusual fungus is because of the recent weather here in the Southeast. It has been unseasonably warm and wet, and many fungi respond to these conditions by producing fruiting bodies and shedding spores, even though it seems the wrong time of the year. In the last couple of weeks, a number of people have sent me pictures of this and other fungi, recently popping up in their yards, but once it is finally cool for a while, that will be the end of it.

This strange and harmless little monster is actually widely distributed around the world, including the southeastern U.S., commonly showing up in forests and in gardens on rotting vegetation, including

When the conditions are right, they emerge rapidly from an egg-like structure at or just below the surface of the ground. A soft, hollow, columnar stalk will appear, and at the top, 3 to 4 inches above the ground, the reproductive portion will split open into 5 to 10 elongated arms, each of which will branch. The arms and “tentacles” are generally bright red or orange, and they give this organism the look of a starfish, or to my way of thinking, a sea anemone.

The center of the red surface often shows an opening, and eventually a dark, oozing, slimy, messy, mass will appear.

This slime — it’s called the “gleba” — is where the spores are produced, and it can be really smelly. The fetid vapors, along with the lurid color, make the whole thing very interesting to flies. Sure enough, visiting flies will wade through and eat the delicious goo, inadvertently picking up spores.

The flies will spread these

spores to new areas, thus dispersing the fungus.

How wonderful if you have one or more appear in your yard! Don’t worry; they aren’t poisonous, although it’s hard to imagine anyone wanting to eat one of these things. They actually possess a strange, unearthly beauty. True, they might smell sort of funny, but they only last a day or so before disappearing completely.

You’ll be the envy of the block when you invite your neighbors to the backyard for showand-tell.

The McMaster Gallery at the University of South Carolina’s School of Visual Art and Design presents “The Space Between,” a solo exhibition exploring the effects of psychological trauma and physical movement among black women. The exhibit showcases photographic prints, a site-specific installation and a live performance by multi-disciplinary artist Michaela Pilar Brown, whose work was exhibited at the Sumter County Gallery of Art in September and October 2015. It opened Jan. 4 and continues through Feb. 5.

“This body of work is an intensely personal exploration of a larger phenomenon of psychological and physical disease among black women and the roots of that disease in the oppression of black American women beginning with the trans-Atlantic slave trade,” Brown said.

The art makes statements about the body and its relationship to larger cultural themes of age, gender, race and sexuality, history and violence using nontraditional materials, and considers memory, myth, ritual desire and the spaces the body occupies within these vignettes.

“This exhibition fosters an ongoing examination of the contemporary cultural and social contexts regarding race and gender,” said Shannon Lindsey, the director of the McMaster Gallery.

“The imagery, installation and the performance should evoke reflection to social constructs that determine who we are and how we respond to each other.”

Born in Bangor, Maine, and raised in Denver, Colo-

rado, Brown studied sculpture and art history at Howard University. As a child she cut her teeth in the halls of a museum, where her mother worked as a security guard. Currently living in Columbia, Brown has exhibited through the Southeast and was the 2011 Fall Gantt Artist in Residence a the McColl Center for Art in Charlotte and a 2012 recipient of an Artist Grant from The Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, Vermont.

Using sound, video projection and body markings, Brown will present “Mother Wound,” a live performance that explores the genetic memory of trauma. The performance and exhibition reception is at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 21. “I will explore the history of my mother’s wounds, both physical and psychological as a metaphor for the existing psychological and physical disease among black women and the connection of that disease to the oppression of black women in the Americas,” Brown said.

The performance may include nudity, adult subject matter and situations. It may not be suitable to everyone. Audience members must be over 18 and must show identification.

McMaster Gallery is in the University of South Carolina’s School of Visual Art and Design at 1615 Senate St., Columbia, with accessible street parking on Pickens, Senate and Henderson streets. The gallery is free and open to the public from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. weekdays. For more information contact Shannon Rae Lindsey, gallery director, slindsey@email. sc.edu, (803) 777-5752.

More employers help workers pay off student loans Program helps millennials deep in debt, companies hire talent

BY JOSEPH PISANI AP Business Writer NEW YORK — Employers are discovering that making it easier for workers to pay off their student loans helps to attract and keep a happy workforce.

More and more companies are helping workers refinance their debts at better rates, giving employees extra cash for loan payments or even paying their workers’ lenders directly. It’s a major benefit for millennials — people 35 and under — who are struggling to pay thousands of dollars in student debts as they enter the workforce.

“It’s actually helped me quite a lot,” says Christina Lin, a graphic designer who sliced her $3,800 in student loan debt in half within six months with help from her employer, ChowNow. This is not as simple as it sounds: Many college graduates end up owing multiple lenders, and the tax implications can be complicated. Employers also want to make sure the money goes to the right place. This has created a niche for a handful of startups helping employers deliver the benefit.

Just 3 percent of employers helped workers repay student loans last year, according to a survey of more than 460 human resource managers conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management.

But more are starting to offer it, including some big-name companies.

Beginning in July, New York-based accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers plans to give certain employees with student loan debt as much as $1,200 a year for up to six years.

Kronos Inc., a software company in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, will pay employees up to $500 a year toward student loan debts for as long as they need it. And some U.S. employees of Paris-based Natixis Global Asset Management can get $5,000 to go toward their federal loans, plus more if

they stay with the company for more than five years.

Microsoft Corp. gives its workers the option to refinance student loans at discounted interest rates thanks to the company’s relationship with online lender SoFi. It doesn’t cost Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft anything, but SoFi says some of its 200 clients pay the lender to deliver even lower rates for their workers.

The class of 2014 graduated with an average of $28,950 in student loan debt, up 2 percent from the year before, according to the Project on Student Loan Debt. Employers say workers tell them their debts make it impossible to save for retirement or buy a home.

“Millennials are being crushed by student debt,” says Michael Fenlon, the global talent leader at PricewaterhouseCoopers, which enlisted a startup, Gradifi, to handle the new benefit.

Gradifi and Tuition.io focus on processing the payments by employers; each say they already are working with about 100 companies each to provide it. Others, including SoFi, Credible and CommonBond, enable companies to help refinance their workers’ student debts with more manageable rates and payment plans.

EdAssist, which has managed tuition payment benefits for employers for about nine years, began offering student loan repayments as well last year.

“Millennials are asking for it,” says Bruce Elliott, a manager of compensation and benefits at the Society for Human Resource Management.

That matters, because millennials surpassed Generation X to become the largest cohort in the workforce last year, according to the Pew Research Center, and their options are improving along with the job market. The vast majority say their ability to pay student loans would affect whether they take a job, according to a survey by the American Student Assistance, a nonprofit that helps borrowers manage their student debt.

Lin pays about $150 on her debts each month, and ChowNow chips in another percentage, about $40. The Los Angeles company, which powers online and app ordering for restaurants, now pays up to $500 per year per employee and plans to increase that to $1,000 this year.

“It’s harder to hire great talent, and this is another great tool to do

that,” says Christopher Webb, the CEO of ChowNow, which uses Tuition.io to handle the benefit.

Workers need to examine the benefits carefully. If refinancing, they should make sure the terms are better than what they already pay.

Those with federal loans may lose protections and perks by switching to other lenders. And loan payments — like cash — are taxable as income.

Legislation in Congress could change that. The Employer Participation in Student Loan Assistance Act, for example, proposes making up to $5,250 a year in employer payments for student loan debts tax-free for the worker and eligible for tax breaks for the employer. The bill introduced in October is sponsored by Republican Rep. Rodney Davis of Illinois and has been gathering co-sponsors.

‘Fast food’ becomes a dirty phrase U.S. holiday sales up but were lower than 3.7 percent forecast

BY CANDICE CHOI AP Food Industry Writer NEW YORK — Fast food is becoming a dirty term.

As smaller players challenge fast-food chains such as McDonald’s and Burger King, they’re fighting to set themselves apart by describing their food as “fast casual,” “fine casual,” “fast crafted” and even “fan food.”

That’s even though they follow the same basic format: People standing in a line to order and pay a cashier for their food.

The new phrases are being embraced as companies try to position their offerings as fresher or higher quality to distance further their menu items from the stigma that fast food is greasy, cheap and unhealthy.

Even traditional fast-food chains acknowledge they have an image problem. McDonald’s Corp. has said it wants to transform into a “modern, progressive burger company.” And Yum CEO Greg Creed has noted the need for the company’s Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut chains to redefine the meaning of fast food, which is seen as industrial and impersonal.

In the meantime, others are cooking up phrases to telegraph that they are anything but fast food.

Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. and Panera Bread Co. are widely referred to in the industry as “fast casual” chains, a term meant to convey that they serve dishes that are in line with what people might find at a casual, sit-down restaurant. Shake

BY ANNE D’INNOCENZIO AP Retail Writer

Fast-food chains such as McDonald’s are using new phrases such as “fast casual,” ‘’fine casual” and ‘’fast crafted” to describe their menu items and dining experience.

Shack, the New York City-based burger chain, took it a step further last year when it declared itself to be “fine casual.”

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Shake Shack explained: “Fine casual couples the ease, value and convenience of fast casual concepts with the high standards of excellence in thoughtful ingredient sourcing, preparation, hospitality and quality grounded in fine dining.”

Even Arby’s, whose food has been mocked on The Daily Show by former host Jon Stewart, is trying to change its image and has started calling itself “fast crafted.”

Chris Fuller, a spokesman for Arby’s, said the chain came up with the description after hold-

ing “Brand Camp” meetings with employees across the country in 2014. Workers were given cards with the names of restaurant chains and told to lay them out in order, with “fast-food” representing one end and “fast casual” representing the other end. Arby’s always fell somewhere in the middle, Fuller said.

As a result, he said the chain realized it offered the convenience of fast food but also offers “that made-for-you care” with its sandwiches.

When asked how he thought Stewart might react if he were still on The Daily Show, Fuller said: “I think he would come up with his own term, but I’m sure he would have some fun at our cost.”

NEW YORK — Holiday shoppers flocked online during the critical holiday shopping season, but overall sales in November and December were disappointing.

Sales rose 3 percent to about $626.14 billion, according to The National Retail Federation.

That’s below the forecast for a 3.7 percent gain the group had expected.

The group blamed the shortfall on unusually warm weather that led to bigger-than-planned discounts on clothing and other cold-weather items. It also pointed out that stores don’t have the ability to raise prices in a still tough spending environment, leading to worse-than-expected deflation in electronics such as TVs and other categories.

The disappointing total holiday sales figure underscores challenges for retailers ahead as shoppers continue to shift away from physical stores and research and buy online. Indeed, online sales, which are included in the figure, rose 9 percent to $105 billion. That’s higher than the group’s original forecast of 6 percent to 8 percent growth.

“Make no mistake about it, this was a tough holiday season for the industry,” said Matthew Shay, National Retail Federation’s CEO. The holiday season is a crucial period of retailers because it accounts for as much as 40 percent of retailers’ annual sales. But the season has exposed the challenges retailers now face as more shoppers move their purchases online.

While many retailers have said online sales surged during the holiday season, there are trade-offs. Online shoppers tend to be more targeted when they buy and typically buy only what they need on their list. Stores still need shoppers in the store because there’s a big opportunity for them to buy other items.

Deer limit bill supported by hunters, S.C. DNR

S

enate Bill 454 was introduced in February 2015 by Sen. Chip Campsen , R-Charleston, on behalf of South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The bill, if passed, will set a statewide yearly limit of four bucks and four does per hunter and a tagging program for every deer harvested. The proposal is the culmination of years of hard work by dedicated professionals and conservation-minded citizens.

DNR has monitored whitetailed deer harvest trends in the state for many years and more than a decade ago began a process to measure hunters’ opinions on future deer management needs.

Public meetings that were held in all areas of the state showed broad support from hunters for a buck limit and tagging system. Additionally, hunters indicated they would be willing to pay a modest fee for enforcement, administration of the program and for research and management.

The meetings, widely advertised, were the most heavily attended meetings ever hosted

by DNR. Dan South CarGedding olina law charges DNR OUTDOORS to monitor fish and game and to recommend legislation and other action to the General Assembly which may be conductive to the conservation of wildlife. DNR can make recommendations, but changes to the current deer hunting laws require action by the General Assembly.

The bill passed the Senate but has been stalled in the House of Representatives, where it will be reconsidered now that the legislative session has reconvened.

There is no limit to the number of bucks a hunter can take in the coastal plain

zones. Many hunters feel this situation leads to overexploitation and an abuse of our natural resources, resulting in a high percentage of deer being taken by a small number of hunters.

According to DNR biologist Charles Ruth, the state’s deer population has been in a steady decline in recent years.

Reasons for the decline include habitat changes, an extremely liberal deer harvest and colonization of the state by coyotes.

Ruth has noted that South Carolina hasn’t evolved with other southern states, where bag limits are common, and our lack of a tagging system for deer falls behind nearly every other state in the nation.

“The first thing is doing what’s in the best interest of the resource, based on biology and science,” Ruth has said.

“Second is providing constituents with as much opportunity to recreate as possible, as long as it doesn’t negatively impact the resource. And, finally, to provide opportunity

based on desires of the public.”

Members of the House of Representatives asked DNR to host a new round of meetings to answer questions and address any remaining concerns related to the legislation.

Seven meetings were held this past fall, with three in the Upstate and four in the coastal plain. The overwhelming majority of the attendees supported the legislation.

A recent letter to the editor of The Sumter Item focused on subsistence hunting of deer and brought racism and privilege to the debate. I was disappointed and saddened by that argument. If feeding our families was the issue, feral hogs would be a better answer. There is no closed season and no limit on hogs.

They are not a game animal and are considered an invasive species. Feral hogs are common throughout the state and are a serious threat to property, wildlife and agriculture.

In regard to land holdings,

that argument is not really valid either, as the state has more than a million acres of land enrolled in the Wildlife Management Area Program that can be hunted with a $40 permit.

Manchester State Forest, with its 20,000 acres, is in the program and is within easy driving distance of Sumter.

And deer are not the only species of wildlife that can be eaten. I grew up in a big family, and we supplemented our diet with squirrels, rabbits, quail, doves, ducks and fish.

We still do.

The bottom line is that hunters themselves have asked for these changes, and DNR has made recommendations to our lawmakers. Conservation-minded outdoorsmen know that our state stands on the verge of a historical moment in wildlife management. Don’t be silent on this issue. Let our lawmakers know that you care about our natural resources and expect the deer limit proposal to pass into law.

Bantam hens are often good choices for backyard chickens because of their smaller size. Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service will offer a 1-day poultry workshop on Friday, Feb. 19, in Florence.

FISHING REPORTS Freshwater Santee Cooper System Striped Bass: Fair. Although still not frequent, reports of striper being caught are picking up. Catfish: Good. Catfish are deep but feeding extremely well in the lower lake; gizzard shad drifted or anchored are very effective.

Lake Wateree Crappie: Improving. Once the water settles down, veteran tournament angler Will Hinson advises that 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 a bait down there and so the first place Will is going to be looking will be in the creeks. In particular Will expects Beaver Creek to clear early, and with dropping water temperatures the bite should get right there first. In Beaver Creek Will advises fishing in 6-9 feet of water, and tightlining (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 high-visibility, and while Will probably won’t be tipping his jigs with minnows he says it’s worth a try.

Lake Greenwood Bass: Fair to good. Muddy water can often kill a winter bite, but since water temperatures are still close to 60 degrees that isn’t happening. However, the key to getting bit is fishing shallow. And not just shallow, but “dirt dirt shallow.” On recent trips veteran tournament bass angler Stan Gunter has found that the best action is in 1-3 feet of water around shallow cover. Fish can be caught

around laydowns, but the best fishing has been around rocky banks and other hard cover such as boat ramps. At times Stan has thrown practically up onto the dry part of the boat ramp and seen a fish boil at a bait with its back almost out of the water. 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.

Lake Russell Bass: Good. A few weeks ago Guide Jerry Kotal reported that bass fishing on Lake Russell was very good, but based on historical trends he expected it to soon get even better. Fish were grouped up in 20-40 feet of water in the middle to backs of the creeks, but as temperatures dropped he expected them to move into 60-80 feet of water at the mouths of creeks and to stack up on deep flats. When the fish group up very deep that is Jerry’s favorite time of the year to catch them, and utilizing 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, and Jerry is concerned that the fish may not head deep again this winter.

A few years ago in a similar period they suspended and then moved shallow, and that could happen this year. The shad already appear to be moving up, and what the future holds will all depend on the weather.

Lake Thurmond Largemouth bass: Fair to good. A surprise given how cold it’s been lately.

Find fish mostly in the backs of deep pockets in 10-20 feet of water on mop jigs or lead headed flukes. Crappie: Good. Check the coves over brush around 30 feet.

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.

Lake Hartwell Stripers: Fair to good. Best bet is with umbrella rigs and some action had by free lining bait. Recent cold temps have made fishing difficult. Some bigger fish have been reeled in on gizzards. Depths are wide ranging from 12-70 feet. Look for the circling birds and find fish. Catfish: Slow. Rain and cold weather have chased the fish deep. There are only a few in the creeks, but some results on cut herring and gizzards. Check from 5-30 feet.

Fishing will improve when it warms up.

Crappie: Fair. Catching a few on deep brush in 20-30 feet of water on very small jigs or minnows.

Lake Keowee Bass: Fair to good. It’s not every winter that around the New Year bass can still be found on the surface. However, Guide Brad Fowler of Pendleton reports that is exactly what has been going on over the last couple of weeks. Even though during the late fall and early winter Brad doesn’t have much luck on topwater plugs, with water temperatures very slow to drop it has been possible to catch visible fish only a few feet below the surface on scrounger heads rigged with flukes. Until the very recent cold snap this action could be found throughout the day, both in overcast and sunny conditions. Fish could also be 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. On recent trips Brad has found “deep” (bottom) fish as shallow as 45 feet of water and as deep as 60 feet, although this is basically just the area he has been targeting. Brad believes they can almost certainly be found on the

bottom shallower and deeper. As is typical finesse worms fished on drop-shot rig are accounting for the greatest number of his fish, but small spoons have also been catching bass.

Lake Jocassee Largemouth bass: Very good. Check the backs of rivers, creeks, where bait is fish are. Some trout reported mixed in.

Fish from the surface to 40 feet by jigging spoons around bait.

Saltwater Little River No report.

Grand Strand Some trout was reported around the piers and jetties before the recent freeze.

Some flounder and sheepshead reported.

Charleston Charleston Angler reports this is a great time of the year for sight fishing redfish.

When the water reaches it, coolest temps of the year huge schools of reds roam the flats in the shallow water. Artificial lures and flies are extremely effective during this time and make fishing very visual and exciting.

Beaufort-Hilton Head Inshore species are feeding heavily, and migratory species have had no reason to leave to eat. Amazingly, as of a day or two ago the creeks were still full of baitsized shrimp although this cold snap may change that. The best fishing is using scented soft plastics on a flutter hook, and grubs on a jighead. Creek fishing for reds is good but not quite as strong as on the flats, and the best action has been on low tide in 3-6 feet of water around trees and older docks in the creek bends. Most creek fish are being caught on live bait fished below a cork.
