Sumter icon to represent group again Friendship Nine’s convictions expected to be vacated with Finney’s help

BY MATT BRUCE matthew@theitem.com Sometimes justice is swift. At other times, it takes years for its scales to

tip in favor of those who’ve been victimized.

But for certain injustices, generations pass before the wrongs of the distant past are righted. Such is so in

the case of the so-called Friendship Nine.

The group of civil rights protesters, comprised mainly of Rock Hill students who attended the city’s all-

black Friendship Junior College, was arrested Jan. 31, 1961, for staging a sit-in at a white lunch counter in Rock Hill. The move to desegregate the Main Street diner came during the heyday of America’s Jim Crow era, when the nation still

abided by a different measure of justice.

Police literally dragged all nine men from their stools and charged them with trespassing. The group ultimately was sentenced to

Project helps teach kids to eat well, exercise more

BY JADE REYNOLDS jade@theitem.com School may have been out Thursday afternoon and Friday, but class was in thanks to the United Way AmeriCorps program.

As part of the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, the volunteers taught groups of children about healthy eating and exercise.

“Our goal is to promote healthy activities, nutrition and fitness in our community in an effort to combat the obesity-related issues facing our nation today,” said Stephanie Bomar, AmeriCorps Program coordinator for United Way of Sumter, Clarendon and Lee counties. “We hope to reach 250

students over these two days.”

AmeriCorps is a national service program designed to engage thousands of Americans to help their communities to address their toughest challenges, according to www.uwaysumter.org/AmeriCorps.

On Thursday, the teams visited Birnie HOPE Center, DeLaine Community Center and The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club, Bomar said.

Tea party looks to 2016 at S.C. convention MYRTLE BEACH — Tea party faithful have gathered at a South Carolina coastal resort to talk about how conservatives can maximize their influence in the 2016 presidential election.

Several possible White House contenders will address 1,500 attendees at the annual Tea Party convention in Myrtle Beach.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson are scheduled to speak today. Former Sen. Rick Santorum and businessman Donald Trump are to speak Monday.

Many attendees say the 2016 Republican nominee must come from the conservative movement, and they predict the party will lose its third consecutive national election if the nominee is an establishment favorite such as John McCain in 2008 or Mitt Romney in 2012.

South Carolina’s first-in-theSouth primary is set for February 2016, weeks after the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary.

If your goals this year include being more positive, getting involved in your community and helping children, then the Evening Optimist Club of Sumter may be a good fit for you.

With more than 25 projects ranging from relays and oratorical contests in March to the Christmas parade and Cycles for Christmas program in December, the civic organization aims to fulfill its mission of “bringing out the best in kids.”

“You do not have to do all 20-something,” said Leslie “Les” Perkins, chaplain for the group. “Or you can bring a project to the table. We’ll back it, and it’s your project.”

His brother-in-law, Paul Krouse, is the one who recruited Perkins and his wife, Margaret, in 2007.

“One of the most important things that drew me was the Optimist Creed,” Les Perkins said. “Just read it. Every element is about improving your inner side, your human spirit, and giving back. Volunteer time is not work. It’s a lot of fun.”

Krouse is a charter member of the local club, founded in 1997.

“How it started is when we had a Quincy’s in Sumter, Doug (Griffin) told me to come to Quincy’s and bring my checkbook,” he said. “I told him, ‘I don’t need my checkbook. I don’t write checks.’ He didn’t tell me we were building a club.”

He went on to network and

make lots of friends as well as serve in the club’s state level.

“I’m fortunate my two children were by my side all the way,” Krouse said. “My daughter is a teacher now, and my son is at the Citadel.

I’m truly blessed. I had not an ounce of problems from either of them, and they are both leaders now.”

Dues are $25 a quarter, and the group meets at 6:30 p.m. the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. The first one is at Angels Mexican Restaurant, 246 S. Pike W., and usually features a speaker, said Larry Perkins, president. The second meeting is held at Ashton Mills Apartments, 595 Ashton Mill Drive.

If you are 30 years old or younger, you may join for $30 for the first year.

At one time they had more than 60 members, but right now they are at 43, Larry Perkins said.

Even if you are not able to join, he would like you to consider becoming a Friend of Optimists. These are individuals or businesses who support the mission of the club and give at least $100 at one time. While they are not voting members, they are invited to events.

“That’s the next big thing I’m pushing,” Larry Perkins said. “It will benefit us, and most importantly, the kids will benefit.”

Larry Perkins, left, president of the Evening Optimist Club of Sumter, presents a token of appreciation to Nicole Milligan, vice president of membership development for the Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce, after she served as speaker for Tuesday’s meeting. She shared the similarities between the Chamber and the Optimists Club as well as how the two could work together more in the future.

THE OPTIMIST CREED Promise Yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind; To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet; To make all your friends feel that there is something in them; To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true; To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best; To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own; To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future; To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile; To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others; and To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Check scheme could be spread throughout area

BY HAMLET FORT hamlet@theitem.com Investigators think it is possible that recent suspected forged checks are part of a larger organized effort to pass fraudulent checks throughout Sumter and surrounding counties.

Six Richland County residents and one Sumter resident were arrested late Friday after allegedly attempting to pass fraudulent payroll checks at a Sumter business in the 2600 block of Warehouse Boulevard.

The checks were written for between $400 and $600, and investigators think the suspects were actively recruiting others to participate in the scam.

James Williams, 28, of Eastover; Khadijah Shambreale Caldwell,

20, of Columbia; Shatavia Janay Flowers, 18, of Columbia; Makala Andrea Greene, 22, of Elgin; Ahlecea Lavern McKnight, 20, of Sumter; Gabrielle Deshanda Rashell Jones, 24, of Columbia; and Antwaun Jamal Harry Crosby, 21, of Blythewood, were each charged with a single count of forgery and are being held at Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center.

Sumter County Sheriff ’s Office is warning any area businesses that cash payroll checks to be on high alert.

If you have any information on this fraudulent scheme, you are asked to contact either the sheriff ’s office at (803) 436-2700 or Crime Stoppers at (803) 4362718.

Workers from J&F Contractors of Sumter work to level out the ground for the foundation of one of the two shelters being built at the dog park in Dillon Park on Thursday.

Dillon Park dog park nearing completion FROM STAFF REPORTS Dillon Park’s planned dog park is nearing its finish.

Workers are in the last stages of building a shelter in the area designated exclusively for canine recreation.

Fences are in, according to Phil Parnell, assistant recreation director for the county, and next up after the shelter are benches, water fountains and a parking lot. “Hopefully

before March we’ll have it ready,” said Parnell. The project started in July, 2014.

Parnell says the project comes from a general response to calls from Sumter citizens about having a place to take their dogs. He says the space will be useful for avoiding interference with other recreation areas. “We felt we needed a place for people to take their dogs,” he said.

The H3N2 influenza virus seen here is the same type of flu that’s responsible for most flu illnesses this winter. A new study shows that this year’s flu vaccine is only 23 percent effective, mainly because it isn’t well matched to the H3N2 strain that’s spread across the country.

T

ricia Bryan, 48, has tried every diet in the book and has even created some of her own based on her research.

“I always had a picture of how I wanted to look, but no diet could ever get me there.

Every January, I would start a new diet, but within weeks I would become consumed with the thought of food: what I couldn’t have, what I wish I could eat, or what I was going to eat next,” she said. About this time of year, almost half of those who vowed to lose weight have already given up because they find themselves in this exact situation.

Missy Losing Corrigan weight may not happen fast. Especially if you have been a yo-yo dieter through the years, your body will take more time to adjust to the new diet. Cutting calories or restricting a certain food group can lead to a deficiency of essential nutrients that your body needs, causing stress and preventing healthy weight loss.

While caloric restriction may bring about weight loss, there is no guarantee that the stubborn fat will go away. “I learned this through a local nutrition education course. I really had to change my mindset that more food would bring about the best results for me,” said Bryan, who used to eat one meal at night and rely on supplements and shakes during the day.

When you think about losing weight, you need to consider what triggers your fat cells to grow. Fat cells get bigger or smaller based on what you are or aren’t eating.

When your body is overTIPS FOR fed, the exSUCCESS cess gets stored in • Don’t diet your fat • Eat to fuel cells. When your body you eat • Measure chemically yourself processed foods that your body can’t recognize or use, it gets stored in your fat cells. Anything that your body can’t use at the time you eat it will get stored as body fat. So when those pants get tight, it’s time to adjust your nutrient intake as well as your portion size.

Excited about her transformation during the past year, Bryan said, “It’s amazing what you can do with the human body. With almost every diet, the end result has been disappointing, but with learning how to fuel my body without food restriction or starving, I have been able to achieve the look I have always pictured.”

You can train your body to live off any diet, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is the best for your health, regardless of a shrinking waistline. Food is designed to fuel your body, so use it to support your muscles and all functions of the body. Excess storage fat cells have no need to be fueled.

Based on how you eat and work out, you can change the way you look. Your food choices are either going to support your goals or push you further from your goals.

The goal is to fuel your body but starve your fat cells.

Flu vaccine not working well this year

BY MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer NEW YORK — This year’s flu vaccine is doing a pretty crummy job. It’s only 23 percent effective, which is one of the worst performances in the last decade, according to a government study released Thursday.

The poor showing is primarily because the vaccine doesn’t include the bug that is making most people sick, health officials say. In the last decade, flu vaccines at their best were 50 to 60 percent effective.

“This is an uncommon year,” said Dr. Alicia Fry, a flu vaccine expert at the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who was involved in the study.

The findings are not surprising, though. In early December, CDC officials warned the vaccine probably wouldn’t work very well because it isn’t

well matched to a strain that’s been spreading widely.

Each year, the flu vaccine is reformulated, based on experts’ best guess at which three or four strains will be the biggest problem. Those decisions are usually made in February, months before the flu season, to give companies that make flu shots and nasal spray vaccine enough time to make enough doses.

But this year’s formula didn’t include the strain of H3N2 virus that ended up causing about two-thirds of the illnesses this winter. And that strain tends to cause more hospitalizations and deaths, particularly in the elderly, making this a particularly bad winter to have a problem with the flu vaccine.

Indeed, the flu season is shaping up to be a bad one. Health officials are comparing it to the nasty flu season two winters ago, and this one may prove to be worse. Hospitalization rates in people 65 and older are higher than

they were at the same point in the 201213 season, according to CDC data.

The results from the preliminary study weren’t large enough to show how the vaccine is working in each age group, although flu vaccines traditionally don’t work as well in elderly people.

The study involved 2,321 people in five states — Michigan, Pennsylvania, Texas, Wisconsin and Washington — who had respiratory illnesses from November to early January. The researchers said vaccinated people had a 23 percent lower chance of winding up at the doctor with the flu.

The CDC began regularly tracking the effectiveness of the flu vaccine during the 2004-05 season, but the results for the first few years were from smaller studies and are considered less reliable. Effectiveness has ranged from 47 percent to 60 percent in the last halfdozen years, when studies involved larger numbers of patients.

More schools serve students supper as demand expands LOS ANGELES (AP) — Many of the students at Kingsley Elementary School in a low-income neighborhood of Los Angeles eat breakfast and lunch provided by the school.

For the nearly 100 enrolled in the after-school program, another meal is served: supper.

The nation’s second-largest school district is doubling the number of students served dinner, with an eye toward eventually offering it at every school. It’s a growing trend: Nationwide, the number of students served dinner or an after-school snack soared to nearly 1 million last year. “When kids are hungry, they don’t pay attention,� said Bennett Kayser, a member of the Los Angeles Unified School District board, which

Hazel Loarca, 7, drinks her milk in the cafeteria area at Kingsley Elementary School on Tuesday in Los Angeles.

Many of the students at the school in a low-income neighborhood of Los Angeles eat breakfast and lunch provided by the school. Nearly 100 students in the after-school program also are served supper.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

announced the expansion Thursday. “This is something that should have started years ago.�

Thirteen states and the District of Columbia began offering students dinner as part of

a pilot program expanded to all states after the 2010 passage of the Healthy, HungerFree Kids Act. Schools where at least half the students are low income and qualify for free or reduced-price lunch

are reimbursed for each supper by U.S. Department of Agriculture, at a rate often significantly higher than the cost of the meal.

In the 2014 fiscal year, 104 million suppers were served

to students, up from about 19 million in 2009. Participation is still lower than in the nation’s long-running breakfast and lunch programs, which serve more than 12 million and 31 million students, respectively.

The introduction of dinner to school routines is unique in that it could take the place of what many consider a nearsacred ritual: the family dinner.

Proponents say that because many students stay on campus until the early evening hours, it makes sense to provide an additional meal.

In the case of the neediest students, they might not get anything to eat after class other than what is offered at school.

A REVIEW

Pianists’ dynamic show one of many you can see through Sumter series

BY JANE G. COLLINS Special to The Sumter Item Without any further ado ... .

Pianists Susan Zhang and Zachary Hughes lost no time “getting down to business” on Jan. 10.

With no formal introduction, they entered the stage, took their places at the piano and began three selections from Samuel Barber’s “Souvenirs, Suite for Fourhands, Op. 28.”

The piece showcased the duo’s ability to perform almost as one entity, keeping pace with the mood and tempo of the composition while moving fluidly from waltz to tango with comfortable style. They were both passionate without over exaggerating or over emoting body language.

Their performance of Rachmaninoff ’s “Six Morceaux, Op. 11” and “Hungarian Dance No. 5 in F-Sharp Minor” underscored their mastery of delicate phrasing, excellent dynamics and good pedal control, making sure not to muddle chording.

Hughes’ rendition of Debussy’s “Suite Bergamasque,” begun in 1890 when Debussy was a struggling student and finally released in 1905, maintained close connection of a delicate, soft sadness suggested

by Paul Verlaine’s poetry.

Zhang’s “Piano Sonata No. 28 in A Major, Op. 101” fulfilled the gamut of Ludwig van Beethoven’s definitive break with tradition and his mastery of form, achieving what one critic called “speaking in tones.”

Interestingly, the first movement emphasizes the composer’s nontraditional guidelines to the performer, stating “rather lively and with warmest feelings” for the first section and “fast but not too fast and with decision” for the fourth section. Zhang’s interpretation brought texture and emphatic dynamics to the score.

Having just returned from six days in New York where we waited in line for theater tickets in 10-degree weather and saw eight plays in packed houses and waited in line for over an hour to see the Matisse exhibit, it was sad to see the small crowd for “Classical Piano: Dueling Hands of Susan Zhang and Zachary Hughes.”

The Sumter Opera House series under the direction of Seth Reimer and the Sumter-Shaw Community Concert Series offers Sumterites an opportunity to see a great variety of professional entertainment for minimal prices (go online and check even the discount ticket prices for New York to see how fortunate we are here).

There are three scheduled performance opportunities for February: • Feb. 5, Alex DePue with Miguel De Hoyos (Latin violinist/fiddler); • Feb. 14, comedian James Gregory (homespun comedy); and • Feb. 20, The Blind Boys of Alabama (five-time Grammy Award winner and Grammy Lifetime Award winner).

FRIENDSHIP NINE FROM PAGE A1 serve 30 days on a chain gang after refusing to pay a $100 fine. They served all but two of those days. The concept, dubbed “Jail, No Bail,” garnered the Friendship 9 national attention as it marked the first time a group of protesters arrested for civil disobedience refused to pay their fines.

The historic case has roots that stretch into Sumter as legendary judicial stalwart Ernest A. Finney Jr. represented the group of men during court proceedings.

Finney, a Sumter native, became the Palmetto State’s first black Supreme Court justice since the Reconstruction era when he was appointed to the bench in 1985.

He also broke ground as the first circuit court judge in the state and served many years as the chief justice of the state. Among his many accomplishments, which include a 2012 induction into the South Carolina Hall of Fame, Finney’s defense of the Friendship Nine remains one of his most noteworthy.

He is slated to participate in a judicial proceeding scheduled for later this month in Rock Hill, which will wipe the slate clean for the nine men. Attorneys from the 16th Judicial Circuit are expected to file motions to clear the trespassing convictions from the records of each member of the group.

Media reports indicate Circuit Court Judge John C. Hayes III — nephew of Billy Hayes, the same Rock Hill City judge who presided over the nine’s 1961 trial hearing — will hear arguments during the proceeding.

He is expected to issue a judicial order vacating the convictions of the men. The hearing is expected to take place Jan. 31, exactly 54 years to the day after the nine men staged their historic sit-in.

As with any case that comes to terms more than five decades later, many of the people who played pivotal roles in the case in the early 60s aren’t of the same capacity now. Robert McCullough, one of the members of the Friendship Nine, died in 2006. Finney, a South Carolina guardian of civil rights, will stand in to represent the surviving members of the group later this month.

The 83-year-old icon was not, however, available to participate in interviews beforehand to reflect on the case because of health complications, family members said.

Despite the fact, his words through the years have served as a source of encouragement for many South Carolinians and continue to resonate with the struggle for progress that led him to serve as a defense attorney during the Friendship Nine case.

“Those of us that were in the Civil Rights Movement must recognize, in the struggle to achieve whatever little things we have achieved, we’ve missed some people, and we need to find a way to go back and pick those people up and recognize these people,” Finney told The Item in July 2012, when a Columbia civil rights museum was renamed in his honor.

“Every now and then, ordinary people can do extraordinary things, and they need to keep that in mind as they pull together and work together to make Sumter and Columbia and South Carolina a better place.”

CONCERNS FROM PAGE A1 and made sure she had the things that she needed.”

Irene Wilson said she spoke to South Carolina Department of Social Services and told them the situation and that in the house she had a wood-burning stove and she might get burned.

“They said as long as she had food and water, she could stay in the house,” Wheeler said. “Our concern was it wasn’t safe. That is why we wanted to move her out of there.”

Wheeler said she didn’t have the power to move her elderly aunt but was hoping DSS would have the power to move her out.

“We thought DSS would have more power than we had,” she said. “We told them that if somebody didn’t get her out of the house, she would get burned in the house, and that’s what happened.”

Wheeler said that not only DSS, but also her home health caseworker and nurses came out.

“Everybody saw how she was living, but they said she was OK,” she said.

Wheeler said her aunt had a grandson, Cedric Green, and a great-grandson living with her, but they weren’t home at the time of the fire.

“She had two grown men living with her,” Wilson said. “She didn’t want to leave because she was afraid her grandson and great-grandson had nowhere to go. We couldn’t make her move.”

Wheeler said Green told her the po-

lice came out because they got a call that there were no lights, food and water.

“He said he flipped on a light and it came on, and he turned on a faucet and water came out, and he showed them the food in the refrigerator, and they left,” she said.

Wheeler said city codes enforcement came out and checked the yard.

“It was a mess, and they said it needed to be cleaned up,” she said.

“Everybody came, they saw the condition of the house, and nobody did anything,” Wheeler said.

Wheeler said she tried to convince her aunt to move in with her.

“I tried to get her to come live with me, but they kept saying she was in her right mind — she was probably in her right mind, but she shouldn’t have had that decision to make.”

Division Chief Brian Christmas with Sumter Fire Department said the probable cause of the fire was the woodburning stove. Christmas is also a detective with Sumter Police Department.

“She wouldn’t move. She wanted to stay there,” Wilson said.

Irene Wilson said Green told her his grandmother was always pushing stuff into the fire.

“I knew it could happen,” Wilson said. “I couldn’t drag her out and make her move.”

She said it bothers her because she knows a lot of elderly people live in similar conditions.

“It’s a terrible way to go,” Wheeler said. “She was half blind. She could hardly see. That’s why my sister was so concerned.”

“The talk of colorful food, I never thought of it like that,” said 11-year-old Felicia Martin.

Lorraine Jones also discussed the benefits of exer-

cise with the children, having them chime in with ideas such as to lose weight, get stronger and live longer.

“They know a lot about nutrition, and they’re very knowledgeable about exercise,” she said. “It’s been fun working here today.”

She told them at their age — 10 to 17 — they should try to get at least 60 minutes of exercise in a day. The children called out ideas such as biking, jumping rope and hiking.

They also got a chance to get some of their hour in

HELP FROM PAGE A1 situation they characterized as dangerous.

McGirt confirmed city police had responded to calls at Wilson’s residence at 4 W. Williams St. in April and October 2014.

“We notified codes enforcement and the Department of Social Services, but there were no conditions that warranted putting her in protective custody,” she said.

McGirt said her understanding is that DSS offered to move the woman to another location, but she declined.

“Normally, when we receive a call, an officer will go out and validate the information we are given and notify the appropriate agencies,” she said.

The department has a call-in program named “I’m OK” in place for seniors and other vulnerable adults, McGirt said.

Anyone who is signed up for the program is expected to call the department before 10 a.m. each morning, and if they do not, an officer will perform a welfare check at their location. She said 24 people are on the list, which has been active for more than 30 years.

McGirt said the department also has the CheckMate program, which was started after last year’s February ice storm.

“An officer will come by and

while the AmeriCorps volunteers were there with parachute activities.

“It’s actually quite fun,” Grace said. “We all run together, and we’re not getting mad at each other.

Doing all the activities helps us bond.”

Felicia agreed.

“I think it’s fun exercising,” she said. “People who are overweight can start to lose weight. It’s very inspirational.”

Joyce Boykins and Khyra Paige, two of the child care counselors at the Y, thought

make periodic checks,” McGirt said. “We realized during the storm that some people may not have a telephone or electric power or any other way to contact us.”

In the CheckMate program, the officers will visit with the clients, update contact information, check safety and security conditions, contact appropriate agencies if necessary and make sure the clients’ needs are being met, a department news release said.

“We are committed to improving the quality of life of all our citizens, and we place special emphasis on the welfare and safety of our seniors,” Sumter Police Chief Russell F. Roark III said. “This program will routinely allow these citizens to have personal interaction with law enforcement, providing them with an added sense of protection and security to these seniors and their families.”

McGirt encouraged city residents to make use of the programs.

“If you see somebody like that, go ahead and call the department at (803) 436-2700,” she said.

A person needing the service or a relative can request the service, McGirt said, but it will not be provided if the recipient does not want the service. The police department only provides the service to those within city limits.

the program was good and said it would be good if the AmeriCorps members could do such structured activities more.

If you missed a day, you missed a lot I

t was an eventful week on the pages of The Sumter Item. Tuesday’s edition included two attractive, muscular women on the front page because the South Carolina Amateur Bodybuilding Championships are coming here in April.

There were cringe-worthy details of a racial discrimination suit in Lee County that sounded like a bad movie, and we reported that the Shaw Air Force Base Firefighters Association added $1,000 to the Sumter Fireside Fund, bringing the annual total to $38,418.27. The histor- Graham ical total is now $1.4 Osteen million.

On Wednesday we learned, not surprisingly, that an ongoing and very public, bloody family dispute in Sumter started like most disputes in human history: It was about a woman.

Another Sumter woman, Kimberly Henderson, became an Internet viral sensation for singing a lullaby to her baby; the South Carolina Good Old Boys Network returned to the Capitol

COMMENTARY

Building in Columbia, and McEntire Joint National Guard Base got a fancy new satellite system that will share information nationally during disaster situations. U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham took a break from FOX News appearances to do the honors.

Also on Wednesday, we reported that SAFE Federal Credit Union has begun a yearlong celebration of its 60year anniversary. SAFE started on Shaw Air Force Base in 1955 and now has 17 branches and 108,000 customers.

In Thursday’s edition, Sumter County councilman Charles Edens summed up the efficiency of the contracting company on the Alice Drive road project: “They are the pits,” he said. The work is expected to be completed five months behind schedule, so drive carefully amid the rubble.

Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce is headed to beautiful Sparkle City in Upstate South Carolina, also known as Spartanburg, for its upcoming annual retreat, and tomorrow’s Martin Luther King Dream Walk will feature College Football Hall of Fame

coach Willie Jeffries, who coached at S.C. State for many years.

Also Thursday, I found out my longtime Hartsville friend Bill Segars is an expert on the construction of South Carolina’s historic churches, having studied more than 700 of them. He’s married to the former Debbie Hirshberg of Sumter fame.

Who doesn’t have a great story about her dad, the late Dr. Robert Hirshberg, or her brother, Flippin’ Mack Hirshberg?

On Friday, we reported that downtown Sumter may be getting a new business described as “a bar and lounge and independent theater” in what semi-old-timers know as the Naomi and Warner building, and realold-timers know as the Manhattan Restaurant. You can determine your own category. I’m in the Naomi and Warner division.

On Saturday, as we reported, it became official: The car was finally pulled out of Second Mill Pond, meaning the glass-bottom boat tours can start again this spring. We also reported that the Bonnie and Clyde Kentucky teens were spotted in Manning after cashing forged checks at WalMart, and everybody knew it was

Clyde because he had on a Kentucky Wildcats T-shirt.

You’ve also noticed a lot of excellent local photos throughout the paper, and that’s thanks to the return of photographer Keith Gedamke. Keith has a great eye and knows how to shoot any situation.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR You don’t have to look far to see poor leadership There’s an old proverb, “People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” South Carolinians who criticize the leadership abilities of President Obama are not facing reality.

If anything is frightening, it’s their inability to assess what is happening around them.

We live in a state that has the worst roads and bridges in America. It will cost $1.5 billion a year for 30 years to bring our roads and bridges up to acceptable standards. Our governor refuses to raise the tax on gas that would help raise some of the revenue needed. Leaders in our state Legislature are befuddled.

Their solution is to pass this problem on to local governments.

While our governor and legislators procrastinate, hopefully, a bridge will not collapse. That’s frightening.

Our state has the second worst, thanks to Mississippi, public education system in America. By law, our children must receive a “minimally adequate education,” which is one step above an inadequate education.

The education provided to children in poor, rural school districts is below standards. The S.C. Supreme Court ruled in November 2014 for poor, rural school districts in a 21-year-old education funding lawsuit, saying legislators have failed to ensure that students receive a minimally adequate education.

Instead of allowing the legislator to follow the directions of the court, our governor asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit.

That’s frightening.

Our state has one of the worst domestic violence rates in America. We led the nation in the number of people killed by loved ones in 2013. Our governor and the Legislature know that our current laws are ineffective in reducing the rate of domestic violence.

However, while they procrastinate, more people will be killed.

That’s frightening.

S.C. Department of Social Services is one of the worst child welfare agencies in America.

DSS has failed to properly investigate allegations of child abuse and the deaths of children in South Carolina. The DSS director is appointed by our governor.

South Carolinians don’t have to look far for poor leadership, it’s in our glass house. And that’s very frightening.

EUGENE R. BATEN Sumter

Seventh cent would cripple South Carolina’s growth

I

f a bill being pushed to add a seventh penny of state sales tax to fix roads ends up making it through the Legislature, the state would suffer mightily.

Simply put, it’s a dumb idea. Not only would it make the Palmetto State less competitive, but it would also catapult South Carolina into having the highest sales tax rate in the Southeast and the second highest in the nation. Imagine an economic recruiter trying to explain that to a prospect who wants to locate here.

The headlines are full of stories about how South Carolina’s road and bridge infrastructure is beyond crumbling and needs an infusion of Andy $1.5 billion of new Brack money every year for three decades to keep up with what we have and deal with traffic. Why? Because we’ve been mostly ignoring the roadways and underfunding them for the past three decades. Now is time for the bill to be paid.

A plan getting significant attention is being pushed by Rep. Gary Simrill, R-Rock Hill, and colleagues on a special House committee. It would restructure the state Department of Transportation, cut the state’s 16.75-cent per gallon user fee on gas, charge sales tax on gas and boost the state sales tax by a penny.

Simrill has said the plan would raise about $400 million a year.

But adding an extra penny in a

COMMENTARY state that prides itself on a competitive platform for business and relatively low taxes overall would send a terrible message to companies looking to move to South Carolina. And it would be more ammunition for retirees to skip South Carolina and head to Florida.

Currently, South Carolina has the nation’s 16th-highest sales tax rate nationally and third highest in the Southeast at six pennies out of every dollar, according to the Tax Foundation. Increasing it by a penny would make it second highest nationally and first in the Southeast.

Yikes! Fortunately, there are some good ideas out there competing to be a solution for South Carolina’s road infrastructure crisis.

If lawmakers want to anchor road money to sales tax, a smarter way is to focus on the billions of dollars of special-interest sales tax exemptions that currently are law. Today, the state takes in less money from sales taxes — about $2.7 billion overall — than it does in what it exempts from sales taxes — more than 80 types of products and services, such as the tax on phones and electricity.

If legislators simply reviewed sales tax exemptions and targeted things that really shouldn’t be exempted, they should easily find $600 million a year in lost revenue. That’s what the Taxation Realignment Commission found in its 2010 report.

And a bonus — lawmakers wouldn’t have to “raise” taxes. Instead, they’d just cut a tax break they shouldn’t

have been giving all along.

State Sen. Larry Grooms, RCharleston, says the House plan pushed by Simrill and his colleagues is unconstitutional because it calls for voters to decide whether to add an extra penny. That, he said, is a duty reserved to the General Assembly.

Grooms is pushing what he calls a “2-by-2” plan that would raise the gasoline user fee by two cents a gallon every year for 10 years while reducing the individual income tax by 0.2 percent a year during the decade.

Such a plan eventually would generate $600 million in new road money every year but would reduce General Fund revenues by about $1 billion from the gradual income tax cut.

Over time, however, he said he thought the income tax cut could be absorbed by general growth so it wasn’t an immediate hit to the budget.

“I think every plan needs to be on the table,” Grooms said. “If we’re talking about all of them, through the process of elimination, there probably is one of them that will get enough votes to pass.

“I don’t want the roads to continue to crumble. Now it becomes what is politically possible.”

Let’s just hope we look at a blend of solutions, not just a new penny tax that will tar and feather us as the place not to go to retire or start up a new business.

Donte’s peak

Darlington job was ‘best opportunity’ for Jones

BY DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Clemson’s Donte Grantham, left, shoots a 3-point basket over Syracuse’s Trevor Cooney during the second half of the Tigers’ 66-53 victory on Saturday in Clemson.

Grantham hits four 3s, posts career-high 16 points in Tigers’ 66-53 upset of Syracuse

BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press CLEMSON — Donte Grantham got off to a shaky start for Clemson. He soon settled down, though, to bring the Tigers one of their biggest wins of the season.

After Grantham’s first two 3-pointers were way off the mark, Tigers coach Brad

Brownell brought him over to the bench and asked, “Are you a little excited today?’’

The usually laid-back freshman calmed down, hitting four long-range baskets among his career-high 16 points to lead Clemson to a 66-53 victory over Syracuse on Saturday. The Tigers ended the Orange’s perfect ACC start and seven-game

win streak.

The 6-foot-8 Grantham is a capable three-point shooter who has struggled at times with his shot, hitting only 25 percent of those attempts this season. But he found his stroke early as Clemson (107, 2-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) built a large, first-half lead and never let it fall below double figures the rest

of the way.

“Those first two shots, I was too excited out there to be home,’’ Grantham said.

“The next one came to me and I just took my time, followed through and knocked it down.’’

Clemson did a lot of that in the opening period. The

If you go into his office at Sumter High School, John Jones said you will find a schedule running from January through August for the school’s football program.

“I had on there the days we practice, the days we lift, the days we have scrimmages,” Jones said. “I was preparing for the (2015) season.”

The schedule may be set, but it won’t be Jones carrying it out.

Jones stepped JONES down from his Sumter post on Thursday to become the new head coach at Darlington.

Jones mentioned the 8-month schedule as a point of reference that he didn’t plan on exiting Sumter after just one year as its head coach.

“I didn’t go looking for a job,” said Jones, who led the Gamecocks to a 7-5 record in 2014. ”They (Darlington) came to me, and I’m the type of person who will listen to what someone has to say.

“I had a great interview,” he added. “It was a chance to go back home. It came down to the fact that for me personally and professionally, this is the best opportunity for me at this time.”

Jones said he felt no pressure from within the school administration or from Sumter School District itself.

“Principal (Dana) Fall was great to work for,” Jones said.

“He’s strong both in athletics and academics. (Terrence) Scriven is a great athletic director. They are great to work for; there was no pressure from anyone at the school.

“It wasn’t an easy decision,” Jones said. “At the end of the day though, this was what was best for me at this particular time.”

Luck’s next step is Packers, Seahawks meet to beat Brady, Pats again with NFC title on line

BY HOWARD ULMAN The Associated Press

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.

— Step by step, Andrew Luck has climbed into the upper echelon of NFL quarterbacks.

In each of his three seasons, he and the Indianapolis Colts got one game closer to the Super Bowl. Now he can reach that destination if he beats Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game tonight.

“I want to beat the best,’’ Luck said. “There’s a competitive spirit in all of this: ‘Hey, the harder it is, the better. Let’s go try and make it happen.’”

If the Colts (13-5) upset the Patriots (13-4), Luck will have accomplished a difficult feat: beating Peyton Manning and Brady in consecutive games on the way to the Super Bowl.

But a win against the 37-year-old Brady, 12 years his senior, won’t be a major measuring stick for Luck’s progress.

“That’s not a benchmark,’’ he said. “He’s a great role model for any

SEATTLE — Eventually, the paths of Green Bay and Seattle were going to cross again.

After they opened the 2014 NFL season in early September, it seemed inevitable that Aaron Rodgers would get a second chance to throw at Richard Sherman — if he wanted to. That Russell Wilson would have to avoid Clay Matthews trying to chase him down. And that the Packers would get another opportunity to topple Seattle and be the elite of the NFC. They were the two best teams in the conference in the second half of the regular season. So it’s only fitting the Packers and Seahawks meet today for the NFC championship and a trip to the Super Bowl.

“It’s just the way it should be. It should be just like that right now,’’ Seattle coach Pete Carroll said.

Don’t be mistaken by their recent prowess, this wasn’t a smooth ride for either franchise. Whether it was Rodgers telling Packers’ fans to “R-E-LA-X’’ early in the season, or

OXON HILL, Md. — The five most powerful and wealthiest conferences in college sports passed NCAA legislation that increases the value of an athletic scholarship by several thousand dollars to cover the federally determined actual cost of attendance.

Legislative autonomy for the Big Five — the Big Ten, Big 12, Atlantic Coast Conference, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference — was voted in last year and Saturday at the NCAA convention was their will be their first chance to use.

The group of 65 schools is now allowed to pass legislation on its own, without the support of the schools in the other 27 conferences that make up Division I. From wire reports

THE SUMTER ITEM

SUNDAY, JANUARY 18, 2015

AFC FROM PAGE B1 being drafted with the first pick out of Stanford in 2012.

This season, he led the NFL with 40 touchdown passes and surpassed Manning’s single-season franchise high with 4,761 yards passing. He’s also the only player to throw for at least 250 yards in each of his first five playoff games.

In his three seasons, the Colts lost in the wild-card round, then reached the division round and now are playing for the AFC title after Luck threw for 265 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-13 divisional round win over Denver and Manning.

“He’s just stayed with the process,’’ Colts coach Chuck Pagano said.

“Right now he probably feels as good as he’s ever felt.’’

And that’s not good for the Patriots.

“He was pretty good when he came in and he’s even better now,’’ New England coach Bill Belichick said.

“He’s got a lot of strengths, no weaknesses.’’

Sounds like Brady.

The 15-year veteran will play in his ninth AFC championship game and fourth straight, but the Patriots lost two of the previous three. In last Saturday’s 35-31 divisional win over the Baltimore Ravens, Brady led the Patriots back from two 14-point deficits. His three touchdown passes gave him 46 for his career, breaking Joe Montana’s record of 45 in the postseason.

“We’ve shown a lot of improvement and it all leads to this moment,’’ Brady said, “so we’ve got to be at our best.’’

Things to watch for as two of the NFL’s highest-scoring teams meet:

CATCHING ON When they drop back, Luck and Brady have plenty of reliable receivers to choose from.

Luck connected with eight against Denver. And one who didn’t catch a pass, Reggie Wayne, needs 36 yards re-

NFC FROM PAGE B1 get better and better each week. That is the main thing you want to do each week, get better than you were before, and I think we accomplished that over the season.’’

Green Bay has added one more obstacle in the postseason: Rodgers’ left calf injury that has limited his mobility.

But Rodgers showed in last week’s divisional-round win over Dallas he can manage just fine, throwing for 316 yards and three touchdowns in the 26-21 victory.

Now All-Pro Rodgers gets his first shot at an NFC title since winning at Chicago in January 2011. A Super Bowl victory over Pittsburgh followed.

“It’s a different team,’’ Rodgers said. “I think it’s less than 20 guys still here from that team. It’s only four years ago. But we have confidence that we can win on the road.’’

CALF WATCH Rodgers’ injury is slowing him from scrambling before throwing, one of his strengths. His right arm is just fine. Rodgers got hurt during the Dec. 21 game against Tampa Bay. He still completed 74 percent of his

B3

RB Daniel “Boom’’ Herron played a season-low one snap. He got his first career start in the next game and has become a dual threat. After rushing for just 74 yards and catching two passes in the first 10 games, he’s had 396 yards rushing and 37 receptions. In his two playoff games, he’s run for 119 yards and two touchdowns and caught 18 of 19 passes thrown his way.

“I love it,’’ he said of his postseason performances. “That’s what you’re here for and that’s what I’ve dreamed about since I’ve been playing football.’’

FOR THE RECORD

New England running back Shane Vereen (34) and the rest of the Patriots backfield hope to continue a string of recent success on the ground against Indianapolis when the two teams meet today in Foxborough, Mass., for the AFC championship. ceiving to move past Cliff Branch for No. 3 in NFL postseason history.

“One of the things that I believe has been a reason for our success is the different playmakers that we have and the way that the ball is being spread around,’’ Colts tight end Dwayne Allen said.

Brady completed at least four passes to six different receivers against Baltimore, including one touchdown each to Rob Gronkowski, Danny Amendola and Brandon LaFell, who caught a winning 23-yarder with just over five minutes left.

ground attack in its last two games against Indianapolis. LeGarrette Blount ran for 166 yards and four touchdowns in a 43-22 divisional win last year, and Jonas Gray rushed for 201 yards and four touchdowns in a 42-20 win Nov. 16. But the Patriots rushed only 13 times for 14 yards against the Ravens, and three of them were kneel-downs by Brady in the last two minutes.

“We chose not to run the ball more than anything else,’’ offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said. “It wasn’t like we ran it 20 times and had 35 yards.’’

New England used a powerful

Coach Mike McCarthy has had RODGERS Rodgers operating out of shotgun formations to help limit his movement.

Perhaps just as importantly for the Packers has been the solid work of the offensive line much of the year. All-Pro fullback John Kuhn, an excellent blocker, has also seen more time of late. Rodgers will need top-notch protection against Seattle’s tough defense.

SILENT SHERM Sherman, another All-Pro, was bored when Green Bay visited in the season opener.

Through the entire game, Rodgers refused to throw at the cornerback, instead turning to the other side of the field. Sherman took Rodgers’ approach as a sign of respect.

It also left him frustrated. He described it as being a “12’’ on a 1-10 scale.

“Everybody’s like, ‘Man, that’s cool, nobody threw to your side,’’’ Sherman said.

“But if you’re a player, you want to make plays in the game, you feel you can help your team, you want the ball

coming your way more.’’

Sherman doesn’t expect it the same this time.

“I’m not surprised either way,’’ Sherman said. “But I expect them to execute their game plan, whatever that may be. Not sure what they’re going to do.’’

ATTITUDE Linebackers Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers draw the headlines and make big plays on the Packers’ defense. Lineman Mike Daniels supplies the attitude. A mainstay up front, Daniels’ demeanor sets a stern tone on game day.

They’ll need Daniels and fellow lineman Letroy Guion to slow down bullish running back Marshawn Lynch just enough to allow linebackers Matthews and Sam Barrington, and safety Morgan

Brady needs 10 yards passing for 6,801 in his postseason career, breaking Manning’s record. One more postseason win will give Belichick his 21st as a coach, snapping a tie with Tom Landry for the most in NFL history. Indianapolis kicker Adam Vinatieri, who won three Super Bowls with the Patriots and has one ring with the Colts, will break Jerry Rice’s mark for most postseason games with his 30th. He also can set a record with his 14th consecutive postseason game with a field goal, breaking a tie with Tony Fritsch.

CHANGING PLAYERS Both teams have players in bigger roles than in the regular-season matchup. The Colts are getting greater production from rookie receiver Donte Moncrief, and the offensive line has three different starters. Defensive tackle Arthur Jones is back after missing the first meeting with an ankle injury and kick returner Josh Cribbs joined the team two days after the first game.

For the Patriots, defensive end Chandler Jones, Arthur’s younger brother, missed it with a hip injury, while Blount joined the Patriots the following week after being cut by Pittsburgh.

Burnett to try to finish off tackles up the middle. Daniels has 14 tackles and two sacks over his last four games.

COMING OF AGE When Green Bay visited in Week 1, center Corey Linsley, wide receiver Davante Adams and tight end Richard Rodgers were all making their NFL debuts. Now they’re integral parts of the offense. Adams was the star of Green Bay’s win over Dallas last week with seven catches for 117 yards and a touchdown.

“You expect those guys to hit some sort of lull during the year, as the college season is usually 12 or 13 games,’’ Aaron Rodgers said. “After the preseason, you’re looking at midway through the season, that’s a normal college season for these guys, and you haven’t seen it.’’

THANKS BUFFALO Seattle ultimately owes thanks to Buffalo for Sunday’s title game being played at CenturyLink Field. The Bills’ victory over Green Bay in Week 15 was the difference in Seattle winning the tiebreaker for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Instead of Seattle being forced to deal with the freezing temperatures of Wisconsin, the Packers are about to enter the Seahawks’ cauldron of noise _ certain to be even more amped than when Green Bay visited to open the season.

“Any time we get the home games, especially the NFC championship at home, and we get to play in front of the 12s, it’s exciting,’’ Seattle safety Kam Chancellor said of the team’s fan base. “It’s exciting for us, exciting for them, and I think we deserve it and they deserve it, as well.’’

New guard or old guard?

List of contenders for Australian Open title includes familiar, notso familiar names

BY DENNIS PASSA The Associated Press MELBOURNE, Australia — After a year which featured eight Grand Slam singles champions, there’s been plenty of talk ahead of the Australian Open about the new guard vs. the old guard in both men’s and women’s tennis. The champions recently have been, well, just different.

Stan Wawrinka claimed his first career major last year in Australia. Strike one for the new. Then Rafael Nadal won the French Open, his ninth at Roland Garros, and Novak Djokovic won Wimbledon for his seventh major. The next generation struck back when Marin Cilic won the U.S. Open.

Four women shared the Grand Slams, too — the nowretired Li Na at Melbourne last year, Maria Sharapova at Roland Garros, Petra Kvitova at Wimbledon and Serena Williams at the U.S. Open.

So what can we expect in 2015?

At the Australian Open — which begins today — the topranked players who also have nine Australian titles between them are reliable options.

That would be Djokovic with four titles in Melbourne and Williams with five.

Still holding court for the men’s side is 33-year-old Roger Federer, aiming to add to his 17 Grand Slam titles — four of them also at Melbourne — and who just notched his 1,000th career match win to capture the Brisbane International with a victory over Milos Raonic on

AP PHOTOS

Multiple Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal, left, and last year’s Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka, right, represent the broad range of potential contenders for Grand Slams this year, starting with the Aussie Open which begins today in Melbourne, Australia.

Jan. 11.

“Clearly I do believe I have a shot in Melbourne, otherwise I would go home,’’ Federer said in Brisbane.

Federer received good news in that department Friday during the tournament draw — he will play Lu Yen-hsun of Taiwan in the first round, a player he has beaten all three times they’ve played.

Rafael Nadal’s appendix surgery in early November has left him uncertain of his match fitness ahead of Monday’s start of the tournament. He’ll have a tough first-round match

against former top-10 player Mikhail Youzhny of Russia.

Then there’s Andy Murray, who seems to have recovered from back surgery late last year and a minor left shoulder complaint at the start of this one. A three-time Australian Open finalist, Murray drew a qualifier in the first round and could play Federer in the quarterfinals.

Add Wawrinka, along with the so-called “young guns’’ — among them Grigor Dimitrov, U.S. Open finalist Kei Nishikori, Raonic and Australian Nick Kyrgios, who beat Nadal

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

NCAA’s Penn State deal not embraced by all

BY MICHAEL RUBINKAM AND MARC LEVY The Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Not everybody is happy after the NCAA agreed to restore football wins it had stripped from Penn State and Joe Paterno in the Jerry Sandusky child-molestation scandal, and the NCAA did not necessarily win any fans with the move.

The agreement, PATERNO swiftly approved Friday by the boards of the NCAA and the university after intermittent talks heated up this week, lifts the last of the sanctions imposed in 2012 and wipes away the black marks that had tainted one of the nation’s most celebrated college athletics programs.

It reinstates the venerated late coach as the winningest in major college football history, prompting the family of Paterno, who died as the scandal was unfolding, to hail the agreement.

But lawyers for Sandusky’s victims worried that the NCAA’s retreat sent the wrong

message. And in State College, home to Penn State’s sprawling main campus nicknamed Happy Valley, the news was welcome, although not everybody felt warmly toward the NCAA. The sanctions damaged Penn State and its reputation, and that will take time to heal, many said.

“Getting the wins back is more of a gesture,’’ said Jason Rohrer, a student season-ticket holder from Philadelphia. “It’s not like all of a sudden, ‘Oh, yeah, the wins are back, we’re fine now.’ It’s more of, ‘The damage has been done, the way you guys handled it hurt us as a community. We came through it and it’s nice, I guess, for you guys to be able to do this for us.’’’

Michael Boni, a lawyer for one of the victims who testified at Sandusky’s trial, said he does not believe Paterno’s victories should be reinstated because they were “tarnished’’

by Sandusky. He also said he sensed a shift in Penn State’s attitude after the criminal case against Sandusky wrapped up and the university concluded civil settlements with victims.

“There was a movement away from what I thought was

a genuine mea culpa on the part of Penn State, having accepted the NCAA sanctions, and one toward, `Why did we cave so easily?’ That was disappointing,’’ Boni said.

After more than two years of criticism that the NCAA had overstepped its authority, officials with college sports’ governing body said they made the deal to end litigation that had held up distribution of the university’s $60 million fine to fund child abuse prevention programs.

Paterno’s family called the agreement “a great victory for everyone who has fought for the truth in the Sandusky tragedy,’’ and they blasted the penalties as an unjust attack on the university, coaches, players and administrators.

Paterno’s widow, Sue Paterno, called the action “a great day for Penn State’’ but said she also hopes three former university officials facing criminal charges in the case will be cleared. Then-president Graham Spanier, former athletic director Tim Curley and former vice president Gary Schultz are accused of covering up complaints about Sandusky, a retired defensive coach.

at Wimbledon last year — to the potential trophy winners.

Djokovic and Raonic, who both open against qualifiers, are in the same quarter of the draw.

Serena Williams hasn’t been back to the Australian Open final since her last title here in 2010, but can never be ruled out of contention — even with the kind of indifferent preparation she’s had.

No. 2 Sharapova warmed up with a win at the Brisbane International last weekend, beating Ana Ivanovic in the final.

Sharapova drew a qualifier

in the first round here and could meet 20-year-old Eugenie Bouchard, who reached the Wimbledon final and the semis in Australia and France last year, in the quarterfinals.

Two-time winner Victoria Azarenka, unseeded after an injury-hit 2014, faces Sloane Stephens in the first round in a rematch of their acrimonious semifinal two years ago when Azarenka left the court for a medical timeout and Stephens questioned her reasons for doing so. Stephens was coming off a big upset win over Serena Williams at the time.

JONES FROM PAGE B1 Jones said he grew up living on the Florence and Darlington county lines.

“The line literally went through where I lived,” he said. “I played all my sports growing up in Darlington, but where my mailbox was meant I went

to West Florence.”

Jones said whoever takes his position at Sumter is coming into a good situation.

“Whoever gets the opportunity is inheriting a special group of young men,” Jones said. “There is a great staff of assistant coaches. I think this program will be very good.”

MARK MY WORDS

Make sure encouraging words aren’t ‘off the mark’ A

while back I offered up a bit of praise to one of our junior tennis players during our High Performance Clinic.

What she had done wasn’t really an athletic feat, but she had managed to stack an unbelievably large amount of tennis balls on her racket while we were in the process of picking up.

“Hey Mark, check this out,”, she exclaimed. I responded with one of my pet expressions when someone performs admirably.

“Good effort,” I said. “Good effort? Are you kidding me,” came her baffled reply.

When we made eye contact I saw she was staring at me like I had two heads. At this point I was clueless as to where we were in the conversation so I just asked, “What were you looking for there? I told you I thought that was a good effort. How was that a miss?

“Mark, good effort is what you say to someone who has just lost a match or has failed at something, something you say to losers. It is what you say as a consolation.”

WHAT? Has she lost her mind? We continued to debate the subject while we finished the task of picking up the tennis balls. Neither she nor I gave much ground in defending our position.

Being that I teach tennis for a living, I naturally have a bit of competitiveness about myself, so when the entire group stopped for water I posed the question to the group. To a person, every one of them agreed she was right.

Saying good effort was, to their way of thinking, a manner of offering consolation and maybe skirting on the edge of saying, “You stunk it up out there today,” but good effort is a more polite substitute.

Wow! Could I have been any more off the mark? What I have

been using with this wonderful group of kids as my way of issuing a compliment has likely been heard as a slight. Not good.

It is amazing Mark how sometimes Rearden we think we are putting a pretty good effort out there and really we may be stinking it up. Once again, one of my students ended up teaching me and has caused me to pay more attention to what comes out of my mouth.

As a coach and teacher, I have always tried to be aware of how my language may impact my students. Years ago, a good friend who happens to hold a doctorate in psychology gave me a wonderful lesson on how “not to teach kids.” My friend has been the head of his department at every college where he has taught, so I took his advice as that of an expert. Because we are good friends we seldom minced words.

One afternoon he arrived early at my club for a fun doubles match and sat courtside while I finished teaching one of my young students. I was pleased to have him there, because I wanted him to see that I was “good at what I do” too. Even the best of friends can still be competitive.

When I finished my lesson I introduced my student and his dad to Bill. They exchanged a few words and Bill did what any good teacher will do. He made mention of a couple of the student’s strengths he had observed as he watched, told him to keep up the good work and told his dad that he could find no better coach for his son than me. Good job, Bill. He encouraged the student and delivered the official endorsement to

the guy who controls the purse strings. It did not end there though.

After they walked away, Bill asked if I minded him giving me a bit of advice. After the glowing report I had just received I was sure it would be something that would only add to the already wonderful lesson I had just taught. Wrong.

He went on to explain how often I used the word “don’t.” I immediately began my defense of why I use that. He cut me off.

“Mark, I am not criticizing you, I just think there is a better word.”

He was kind enough to make it about the training he had received in his profession rather than a coach of my years still managing to be inept. He explained that kids go through much of their childhood hearing the word “don’t” from their parents, sometimes to protect them, other times to correct them.

However, in either event, to the child it feels negative.

Now we all know that we should stay positive when teaching, but for me Bill took it a step further. He said, “As an example, use expressions like, ‘Do this, rather than that,’ and leave off “don’t.”

It made perfect sense. He went on to say it is better to save the word “don’t” for when the student is being stubborn or misbehaves. Good stuff.

As teachers we must monitor what comes out of our mouths, even if it seems benign enough to us. If we pay attention we will continue to speak more precisely and choose the best word for the occasion. Regardless of whether the advice comes from a high school senior or from a professional educator, we must hear with their ears. Mark my words, it will change the way you speak.

‘Little Mermaid’ swims into Patriot Hall Furman presents musical

BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com

F

ar out in the ocean, where the water is as blue as the prettiest cornflower, and as clear as crystal, it is very, very deep; so deep, indeed, that no cable could fathom it: many church steeples, piled one upon another, would not reach from the ground beneath to the surface of the water above. There dwell the Sea King and his subjects.

We must not imagine that there is nothing at the bottom of the sea but bare yellow sand. No, indeed; the most singular flowers and plants grow there; the leaves and stems of which are so pliant, that the slightest agitation of the water causes them to stir as if they had life. Fishes, both large and small, glide between the branches, as birds fly among the trees here upon land. In the deepest spot of all stands the castle of the Sea King. Its walls are built of coral, and the long, gothic windows are of the clearest amber.

The roof is formed of shells that open and close as the water flows over them. Their appearance is very beautiful, for in each lies a glittering pearl, which would be fit for the diadem of a queen. ................ Hans Christian Andersen, “The Little Mermaid”

The Furman Middle School choral students will spend much of their on stage time “under water,” when the 33 young actors, singers and dancers take the stage to present “The Little Mermaid,” beginning Thursday. The popular musical will be performed at 7 p.m. daily through Saturday at Patriot Hall.

How does Furman simulate the underwater scenes where Ariel, her father Triton (King of the Sea) and an assortment of sea creatures live and interact?

“You have to be able to hold your breath for a really long time!” Director Linda Beck joked.

Actually, she said the production of “The Little Mermaid” and other musicals her choral students have presented to the public are an example of what can be accomplished through collaboration between the school district and the community.

The director of choral studies at Furman, Beck has also participated in numerous Sumter Little Theatre productions as music director, band leader and keyboardist.

Through SLT, she witnessed the creative costuming by Sylvia Pickell, who is wardrobe mistress and designer for “The Little Mermaid,” and Patriot Hall technical director

Sebastian cringes in fear, as the chef seems to be preparing a lobster feast. Danny Silvera-Ruiz plays Sebastion and Francisco Gonzales, the chef, in Furman Middle School’s productioin of “The Little Mermaid.”

The school will present four performances of the popular musical play at Patriot Hall this week.

David Shoemaker has designed the set, lighting and sound.

Beck had high praise for both.

“Sylvia has made the most incredibly cute costumes for the show,” Beck said. “She is so talented and creative! The children love it when she comes to rehearsals. The costumes are very colorful and will add to the beauty of being under the sea. David Shoemaker has done his magic again in making outstanding sets, scenery and

adding special lighting effects. It is always a learning experience for me when I get to work with him and see how his mind thinks regarding the creativity of sets and theatre.”

As for the undersea aspect — essential to the story — Beck said, “We are using sheers of greens and blues for the water. Mr. Shoemaker is making coral reefs and seaweed to give the illusion of being under water. Lighting will be used extensively to give the illusion of water and

using natural elements that are painted to make it look as if it’s under the sea.”

The students are looking forward to performing at Patriot Hall, she said. While they anticipate presenting future shows “at our High School Performing Arts Centers,” Beck said, “ ... there is no one there who can do what Mr. Shoemaker does at Patriot Hall with set, lighting and sounds.

• The biennial elections for the city board of education were held here yesterday. R.K. Wilder, chairman; Dr. C.J. Lemmon, vice-chairman; and H.G. Osteen, the incumbents whose terms had expired, were reelected without opposition. Other members of the

board at present are: F.M. Moise, Shepard Nash, S.L. Roddey, and Earle Rowland.

• The 32 boys who left Sumter Monday morning to attend the better citizenship camp being held at Myrtle Beach State Park were visited Wednesday by Mr. and Mrs. W.E. Bynum, Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Middleton and William C. Eldridge, who report they found the boys in the best of health and having a grand time. At first the visitors thought they might have visited the wrong camp when they saw the campers wearing hats with capes around their heads and shoulders making them look like Arabs. Closer inspection proved that it was a style developed by the Sumter boys to protect them against sunburn.

• Behind the tight six-hit pitching of Beanie Osteen, Sumter defeated Florence 10-5 last night for the third straight victory over the Gamecock’s ancient foe.

Osteen pitched a cool, heady game and was in trouble only a few times. The play of Brogdon at shortstop was particularly outstanding, the veteran handling five chances perfectly.

• Three young Sumter men announced today the opening of the Twelve Hundred Cab Service which will be located at the Gamecock Service Station on South Main Street.

THE SUMTER ITEM

Man’s interest in old flame is rekindled at 25th reunion DEAR ABBY — I’m a happily married man with a great family that’s mostly grown.

In high school I was Dear Abby infatuated ABIGAIL with a girl, VAN BUREN “Stacy,” who was the center of attention, especially from the guys. As seniors we were close, but we never dated.

When I left for college, we lost track.

In college I became involved with the woman who would become my wife. Before our wedding, I was at a friend’s wedding, and Stacy and I danced several dances.

Our chemistry was electric. I nearly broke up with my fi-

ancee to see if Stacy and I could get together, but common sense prevailed.

At our 25th reunion, I saw Stacy again. She looked as good as ever. She is also happily married with a family.

She gave me a hug that lasted a little too long, but was every bit as electric as our dance back then. Now I’m wondering what I have missed. Was the hug a signal or just the affectionate embrace of a good friend?

I’m afraid to contact her because I don’t want to ruin my reputation or hers. We live in different states. Even if there is a spark there, I’m not sure we could sustain a relationship. But how do I get her off my mind? I’m tortured by the memories of the dance and the hug.

Romantic Texan

DEAR ROMANTIC — Let common sense prevail again and quit playing with fire before someone gets burned. The next letter may offer you some insight: DEAR ABBY — My ex-wife of more than 30 years reconnected with an old love from college through a social website. I was OK with it until I noticed she was getting obsessed with his chats. She kept saying they were just old friends and I should trust her.

It went on for months, until one day she forgot to close her chat session. It was obvious she regretted not marrying him and was reliving her past. We discussed it and I kept hearing, “Trust me, we’re only fantasizing.” It went downhill from there. We went through marriage coun-

seling, but nothing changed.

What I learned through counseling is that an emotional affair may do more damage than an in-person one. While I thought I had a great marriage, she was thinking about what might have been with her first love.

She wouldn’t end the relationship and finally we divorced.

That was three years ago.

He separated from his wife, and they lived together until she found out he wasn’t the same person in real life that he was online or how she thought she remembered him from their youth. It didn’t last, and he went back to his wife. My ex was sorry for what happened and wanted a second chance with me, but it was too late.

I’m now married to a wonderful woman I trust com-

pletely. My ex lost all she had except her memories of the 30 happy years we had together.

People need to understand how dangerous an emotional affair can be. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence. Old flames change from who they were in their youth, and an online fling can be disastrous.

GROUNDHOG SHADOW DAY

PREPARING FOR FUNDRAISING

Groundhog Shadow Day in Sumter School District is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 2. Student permission forms must be submitted to the guidance department at each school. Students should visit the guidance office for information regarding deadlines.

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 regular Job Shadow Day. Fourthand fifth- grade students may participate in Groundhog Job Shadow-ARelative day. The students may shadow a family member aged 18 and above.

In order to participate, students must have the work site supervisor, the parent or guardian, and the principal sign the permission form. Discipline and attendance records will be checked before approval is given by the school.

The day will not be counted against a student’s attendance record providing 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.

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.

For further information, interested persons may contact a career specialist at the middle and high schools or the guidance counselor at the elementary schools.

In preparation for Thomas Sumter Academy’s 2015 Leukemia and Lymphoma Campaign, the executive student council recently met with campaign director Amy Harmon. Since the early 1980s, TSA has been the top fundraising school in South Carolina. To date, the school has raised more than $400,000 to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

“We have never had a school like Thomas Sumter. We are making great strides because of you,” Harmon told executive student council members.

West Lee Elementary acknowledged Ellanora Frazier as employee of the month for the month of December for her exemplary and dedicated service to the educational environment. Frazier is a food service operator for West Lee Elementary School.

West Lee Elementary would like to give special thanks to the Rev. Lorenzo Dinkins, the Rev. Richard Addison, Pastor Judy Williams, the Rev. Raymond Cook, the Rev. Debra Joe and Pastor Nathaniel Dixon for attending their December Pep Talk with Pastors and for supporting their school as they continue to build a sustainable learning community.

LEE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL Lee Central High School was honored with an Award of Excellence for Their Exemplary Display of Sportsmanship, Ethics and Integrity for the 2012-13 and 2013-14 academic years.

LCHS was selected for this honor based on their respective conduct displayed in the interscholastic contests they participated in throughout the year.

The South Carolina High School League thinks that these students’ and coaches’ actions are qualities possessed by positive role models, which have a constructive influence on the actions of their teammates, younger students, opponents and even spectators. Their displays of positive sportsmanship help promote the spirit of citizenship while increasing others’ perceptions of high school sports. This is a reflection of the importance of those core values to coaches, players, teachers, staff and community. Thanks to athletic director, Coach Baron Turner, and all of our Lee Central High School coaches for making character and in-

Elementary students have been busy learning new material in their classes. K5 students are learning to read sentences to recognize their numbers from zero to 100, while first-grade students are learning to count to 1,000. After learning the states last semester, first-grade students are expanding beyond the United States and learning the countries of the world by “tasting” countries.

As the students learn the different countries, first-grade teacher Sharon Robinett brings in foods that represent each country including french fries served on newspaper for England and fried rice for China.

Third-grade students are enhancing their understanding of the human body by painting Christmas ornaments as eyeballs with a pupil, iris, veins and optic nerve.

Fourth-grade teacher ReeLynn Coombs, who spent a year and a half in Germany, is beginning a basic study of German with her students.

They will be learning colors, numbers and fundamental principles of the language.

Middle school and high school students are starting their next phase of applied learning with various projects. Students in grades 7 through 10 have begun the writing process for their research papers by picking out topics and gathering resources. Also students in grades 6 through 8 received their initial information for starting their science projects that will be due in May. — Miriam Marritt

BRADLEY UNIVERSITY Joshua P. Ray of Sumter has received recognition on the dean’s list for the fall semester at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. To be eligible for the list, a student must achieve a minimum 3.5 gradepoint average for the semester on a 4.0 scale.

Hoyts-Fishel’s Jewelry was oldest city business T

his issue of Reflections focuses of the history of Sumter’s oldest business created by Freeman Hoyt. The primary article used in preparing this paper was researched by Thomas M. Stubbs. The majority of resources were found in The Sumter Item archives.

Among numerous jewelry stores in early Sumter, Hoyt’s Jewelry was the oldest. The Sammy Way enterprise REFLECTIONS began in 1831 after “a young journeyman watchmaker from New Hampshire” named Freeman Hoyt arrived in Sumter on horseback. For some reason he closed his business for a period of time, according to a letter written to Mary French Hoyt. With the help of his son Oliver, he reopened his shop in 1865, and it is reported that he did an excellent business repairing watches owned by Civil War veterans in the city.

According to an article printed in The Sumter Daily Item in 1953, Hoyt’s first “stand was said to have been at the former site of the Sumter Dry Goods Company. By 1832 he advertised in local newspapers as a ‘watch and clock maker,’ stating that he had had 12 years experience in such work in New York City. “Apparently he completed his apprenticeship there.

Two years after arriving in Sumter, he purchased a lot fronting 92 feet on South Main Street, and in 1850 he formed a co-partnership with Charles T. Mason Sr. under the name of “F. Hoyt & Company.” This business arrangement lasted about a year until Mason decided to set up his own shop.

Sumter resident Joel E. Brunson described Hoyt Jewelers as having about “twenty feet frontage on Main Street and forty feet in depth. Mr. Hoyt is a Northern Man, and they say he is an excellent hand with a watch.” Hoyt would later make Thomas Mood his partner. A skilled watchmaker from Charleston, Mood was prepared “to make and repair all kinds of silver and gold work, at Mr. Hoyt’s shop.” However, like previous partnerships this agreement lasted only a year.

According to The Sumter Daily Item, “Freeman Hoyt has been classified as a ‘silversmith,’ but this is obviously an error, for, while he dealt in silver objects and articles, we find no record of his having made them. Nor was he exclusively a jeweler; to be sure, he carried many other things, including toys,

SUMTER ITEM FILE PHOTO

Smoke and flames billow from the two-story structure on Manning Avenue, which once was the plantation home of the Hoyt family. The blaze, discovered at about 1:40 p.m. Feb. 4, was of undetermined origin, the house having been vacant for a month. It was completely detoilet articles, fire-arms, gunpowder and fishing and sporting goods. His most frequent sales were of watches, clocks and spectacles, which he also repaired. In addition to his principal business, he had at least two sidelines: for years he was the official and licensed custodian of all gun-powder and high explosives which were brought here. For the sake of safety, he was required to store them in specially built iron and brick powder-houses which stood for a long time

on the west side of Manning Avenue, just south of the city limits. As early as 1845 Hoyt was engaged in renting horses and carriages to the public.”

Hoyt married Margaret Ann Brown of Sumter, and they were the parents of four sons and a daughter. In August of 1865 his oldest son Oliver joined his father in the business. This association lasted until Hoyt died in 1869. Oliver continued to operate the business until he also died in 1877. The three remaining brothers, C.I. Hoyt,

R.F. Hoyt and H.A. Hoyt, continued to manage the business with C.I. Hoyt working the longest. He operated the business under the name C.I. Hoyt and Bro. Upon the death of C.I. Hoyt, the business fell into the hands of his daughter, Eugenia Hoyt, who was married to W. Arthur Thompson; the business name was changed to “Thompsons.” Mr. Thompson died in 1918; his widow married Warren S. Fishel, and the store again changed its name, this time to Fishel’s Jewelry.

Fishel operated the store

until he retired in 1954. Sumter’s oldest family business, begun during the Andrew Jackson administration, came to a close while President Eisenhower was in office, a total of 122 years — all but two in the same location. The Hoyt business was carried on by successive generations and was one of the few ties that bound the modern city of Sumter with the old village of Sumterville.

Her young actors have also been working very hard to find their characters, too, Beck said.

“Danny Silvera-Ruiz, who plays Sebastian, has nailed the Jamaican accent for his character,” she said. “His reactions to everything during the show are point on.

“Flounder, who is played by Alaya Chan, has also made her character come to life being a true friend to Ariel.

The ‘human’ tentacles add to the creepiness of (the sea witch) Ursula, played

by Ashley Davis. The Sea Gulls and Scuttle, played by Landon Horton, add much wit and fun. Kaitlynn Horton has done a fabulous job making her character (Ariel, the little mermaid) come to life, as she has to react mostly, since she gave her voice to Ursula” in a pact not unlike bartering for one’s soul with the devil. In Ariel’s case, she wants legs so she can live on land with the human man she loves.

Many of the cast members are new to performing in a musical.

“Mainly sixth-graders and eighthgraders make up the cast,” Beck said.

“There really isn’t that much difference in the film and the stage play.

Prince Eric, who is played by Zachary Scurry, plays a charming role in the show and his valet, Grimsby, is played

by Charles Johnston. King Triton is played by Zachery Nash, and he does a wonderful job being the King of the Sea, plus showing love for his daughter Ariel.

“The Mersisters/Princesses are strong vocalists and really rock the song, ‘She’s In Love.’ Flotsam and Jetsam (Alyssa Cole and Gavin Johnson), the sneaky eels, add to the trickery of Ursula and her plan to take over the title ruler of the sea. Chef Louis, played by Francisco Gonzalez, is hilarious in his singing and acting as the Palace Chef.”

Working with a 33-member cast has been “very different from working with the 13” in last year’s “Godspell,” which Furman produced last year, Beck said, but the young actors’ excitement over doing the show has made them work hard to present an excellent show and an enjoyable evening for their audiences.

“The Little Mermaid” is filled with memorable music, she said, including the songs “Under the Sea,” “Kiss the Girl” and “Poor Unfortunate Souls,” the latter sung by Ursula.

Grainger, an Air Force veteran, was the U.S. economic assistance mission’s representative in Phy Ye Province, 230 miles northeast of Saigon. He was captured in an ambush with a Filipino assistant and the Vietnamese manager of a sugar cane experiment station.

• Col. Joseph S. Michalowski was somewhat of a legend in the Air Force, and even a year after his untimely death in a Korea plane crash, the fond

memories still persist, undimmed by the tragedy that left behind a wife and four children. Although the official honors to the late fighter pilot and World War II veteran have ended – his widow was presented a Commendation Medal by Ninth Air Force Commander Maj. Gen. Marvin L. McNickle in February – the unofficial tributes in the form of pleasant recollections still continue. Col. Michalowski belonged to the Air Force’s most unique fraternity – that of the fighter pilot. He earned his wings at Shaw AFB as a cadet in 1942, married the former Eleanor Barwick of Sumter, and later returned to Shaw for a second tour in 1947 with the 20th Fighter Wing, which flew the first contingent of jets at the local base.

• After seven straight misses from the free throw line, Michael Evans converted a crucial 3-point play in the final minute of the second overtime as No. 1-ranked Sumter High School claimed an 85-77 victory over Spring Valley at home Friday night. Evans had converted just one of eight free throw attempts before stepping to the line after being fouled on a layup with 54 seconds on the clock, but his 10th attempt hit nothing but net. A Kelvin Green dunk and two free throws by Erick Parker built the final margin to eight points.

• Wilson Hall scored 11 points in overtime, including six free throws by Milt Lowder, to take a 61-55 win over Thomas Sumter Friday night at the TSA gym. The two teams entered the three-minute extra period with the score knotted at 50-50. With 1:41 remaining, Vic Boykin canned a three-pointer from the top of the key to put the Barons ahead 53-50. Lowder converted several free throws, Jamie Glasscock scored on a layup, and Clay Wheatley hit a threepointer to close out the scoring.

• The first time Roberto Cavalho was introduced to a young woman in Sumter, he kissed her enthusiastically on both cheeks. She was shocked.

He was confused. The young woman later became one of Roberto’s best friends, and they often laughed about the strangeness of that first meeting. But it pointed up the thing Roberto missed most about his country, Brazil, during his year in America with the Rotary International 1989 Youth Exchange Program. It was what he called “affectivity,” an emotional warmth his people show in the most casual of relationships.

• Amateur radio operator Mike Dunlap knows what it’s like to help someone. While he and fellow hams Roger Clark and Phil Lackey were helping coordinate the 1989 Christmas parade, he saw a man stumbling down the street, something obviously wrong. Dunlap, a local firefighter, grabbed his portable radio from a fire truck and called for an ambulance. Being able to respond quickly may have saved a life.

“The person probably could have expired if the ambulance didn’t get there in such short order,” he said. Because they have direct access to the law enforcement center, fire department, hospitals and other emergency services, ham operators are often able to report accidents and emergencies when other people can’t.

• Bobby Player hunts raccoons because he enjoys it, and one of his most enjoyable moments came this past weekend at the Grand American Wild Coon Hunt in Orangeburg. In that event, attended by an estimated 30,000 people,

Player’s dog Lazy Creek Ruff Man, a walker, won his cast and finished ninth overall in the Saturday night portion of the two-day hunt. “That’s the biggest win I’ve ever had,” said Player. “ ... to finish in the top 10 was a great feeling.”

• The St Jude Central High School girls’ basketball team is running drills in the gym, and Sister Carol Ann, their principal, has a black book on her desk that’s at least 3 inches thick. The gym and the book add up to one magic word: accreditation. In its 31styear of operation, St. Jude Central High School has been accredited for the first time by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

• The grand opening for Morris College’s commercial radio station, WQMC 1290 AM, will be held on campus Monday, Jan. 15. Air time for the station is 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. According to Janet Clayton, director of Media Services, Morris will broadcast religious and educational programs, assemblies, community affairs discussions, news, athletic events and other programs of interest to the community.

Three persons have been appointed to work at the station.

They are Samuel Lewis Jr., program director, Darryl R. Brooks, chief announcer, and Jeffrey Cain, media operations and production assistant. Students will also intern at the station.

• Martin Luther King Jr.’s motto “We shall overcome” has spread from the South to South Africa, Eastern Europe and the Far East, but his dream remains unfulfilled, his widow said before today’s holiday honoring him. Church services, parades and other celebrations were held nationwide during the weekend before the federal holiday, which for the first time falls on the slain civil rights leader’s actual birthday. He would have been 61 today.

• The Lee County public school system continues to find itself hard pressed for money as costs rise and the district looks for ways to recover from the $260,000 deficit in the 198889 school budget. Board members on Monday renewed the superintendent’s contract through June 1992 and approved guidelines for preparing next year’s school budget. The board also accepted the resignation of Lee Area Vocational School Counselor McPhine Brooks, who has served 37years in education.

• Furman head coach Calvin McRoy wasn’t pleased with the way his team performed against Chesterfield Tuesday night, but he had no complaints about the outcome of the game, which the Indians won 86-84. “Our defense was bad and we didn’t block anybody out all night long once again,” McRoy said. “If we don’t start blocking people out, we’re going to start getting beat.”

Sumter County Planning Director George McGregor looks at a map illustrating the Sumter area recently. McGregor says growth will likely continue to the west, and commercial growth will be centered on Broad Street.

“I

have been in the business for over 40 years, and the growth has always been to the west and some to the south,” said Tyler “Doc” Dunlap, manager of Dunlap Properties.

That growth to the west will continue, said Sumter County Planning Director George McGregor, but not indefinitely.

Ironically, Shaw Air Force Base, which is a major driver of growth in the area, is protected from urban density encroachment by a military protection district. The designation is intended to prevent conflicts with the mission of Shaw Air Force Base and Poinsett Range, he said.

“It (the military protection district) doesn’t mean that nothing can happen, but it means that nothing can happen of suburban density,” McGregor said. “In fact, our policy is that we should not extend public water and sewer to those areas.”

He said there are a number of reasons the city has grown mostly to the west.

“The growth has gone west, one, because of the available land and because the city extended water and sewer infrastructure and, historically, there has always been the draw of the base and then Columbia,” he said.

McGregor said one of the primary zones for residential growth will be in the area generally encompassed

by St. Pauls Church Road on the west, Broad Street on the north, Alice Drive on the east and Patriot Parkway on the south.

long-term vision to achieve success in a small downtown like this.’

GEORGE McGREGOR Sumter County planning director

“You have a number of residential developments out there, and that’s where you have Willie Sue’s,” he said. “We expect that you will see a commercial node develop there.”

Commercial growth, however, will be focused on Broad Street.

“Most of the commercial growth is on Broad Street because that’s where the heaviest traffic is,” said Mac Kolb of Hawkins & Kolb Realty.

As far as residential, Kolb said there is activity around Shaw Air Force Base.

“We are getting ready to do a subdivision out on (S.C.) 261, which would be west of the base.”

McGregor and Kolb agreed it is unlikely the corridor to Columbia will ever fully develop.

“Well, you got one little problem out there,” Kolb said. “You got Wateree swamp.”

“Flood plain is not attractive to develop,” McGregor said.

Kolb said the Borough Plantation at Stateburg has shown no signs of being opened for development.

“That is a big tract of land from Stateburg down to the Wateree River,” he said.

McGregor said there is also some growth on the south side of Sumter along U.S. 15.

Dunlap said he has been involved in developing Pocalla Springs in that area, and there is also a new apartment complex on Lewis Road.

“I am not sure how many units that is, but it looks like a very nice apartment (complex),” he said.

Commercial development is lacking in the area, however, Dunlap said.

“In that area, you require some attention from retailers,” he said.

“You don’t have a lot there to accommodate people for shopping and that type of thing.”

Dunlap said Walmart purchased some property in the area several years ago.

“They still haven’t built another store over there, and they haven’t put the property up for sale,” he said. “I keep hearing they still might be coming sometime in the near future, but I don’t know that for sure.”

While the presence of the industrial park and Continental Tire the Americas to the south attracts development, it also adds to the restrictions, McGregor said.

“There is some growth restraint associated with industrial parks because we want those parks to have the freedom to grow and the freedom to attract new business — industry, research and development, manufacturing — and we don’t want to constrain those by crowding real estate development around them,” he said. “That affects the growth around Continental.”

Another area with some potential is north along U.S. 521, McGregor said.

“Our northerly growth is limited to an extent as you head up 521 North,” he said. “Our policies are supportive of growth in the 521 corridor as you go out of the city.”

He said the Beech Forest residential development contains about 300 lots and there is available water and sewer in the area.

Even with some water and sewer in the corridor, he said he doesn’t expect much growth farther north in the next decade.

Little growth is expected to the northeast or east, McGregor said, in large part because of lack of water and sewer. Soil conditions to the east require larger lot sizes to accommodate septic tanks and wells, he said.

Dunlap said there doesn’t seem to be much interest in developing to the east.

“There is nothing wrong with the east,” he said. “People just want to be where there is lots of shopping and grocery stores and that type of thing. People like convenience, so that is where they are going to go.

Another aspect of future growth involves infilling lots in the city, especially downtown.

“If we have more infill development we will have more opportunity for restaurants and shopping and retail,” McGregor said.

“There have been so many successes over the past decade, and it takes a long-term vision to achieve success in a small downtown like this.”

McGregor said planners are faced with trying to “balance the marketplace” because businesses want to be in larger retail corridors.

“That doesn’t mean there aren’t quality commercial opportunities in downtown as well that are really oriented to downtown,” he said. “We are trying to do both, and I think we have some success in that.”

Though McGregor said infill growth has been slow, it appears to be picking up.

A hotel planned for the city’s green space across from the Sumter Opera House will be presenting a revised plan to the city’s Historic Preservation Design Review Committee on Thursday, and a new grocery store is in the works on Bultman Drive.

BUSINESS BRIEF $2M in dividends given to SAFE members SAFE Federal Credit Union members received extra benefits Dec. 31 when bonus dividends and loan interest rebates totaling $2 million were posted to accounts.

Deposit accounts, including certificates, received a

20 percent bonus based on dividends received in 2014.

Loan accounts (except credit cards) received a 7 percent interest rebate based on total interest paid in 2014.

“The unique structure and philosophy of credit unions makes it possible for our board of directors to declare year-end bonus re-

turns,” according to SAFE President and CEO Beverly A. Gagne.

Credit unions are not-forprofit financial cooperatives owned solely by members, so borrowers and savers alike share in the earnings, she explained, adding that credit union balance sheets are not affected by the volatility of the stock market.

“We are delighted to be able to provide this ‘extra return’ to our members, on top of the competitive rates they have received all year,” she said. “We can’t think of a better way to say to our members that at SAFE, Membership Matters.”

SAFE has paid bonus dividends and loan interest rebates annually for the past

18 years.

SAFE was organized in 1955 at Shaw Air Force Base.

SAFE is one of the state’s largest credit unions with more than 108,000 members, 18 branches and two inschool facilities and serving eight counties. SAFE has $899 million in assets and 299 employees.

Now you can book a trip to the ER on your smartphone TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — It’s like OpenTable for medical appointments.

No waiting weeks to see a dermatologist. No sitting for hours in the emergency room.

No frantic calls to find a family doctor with openings.

Online services such as ZocDoc and InQuicker are enabling patients with non-lifethreatening conditions to schedule everything from doctor’s office visits to emergency room trips on their laptops and smartphones — much like OpenTable users do with restaurant reservations.

Hospitals and doctors increasingly are subscribing to the services to simplify appointment scheduling for patients who dislike waiting on hold and are comfortable doing everything from shopping to banking online.

With most of the services, booking is as simple as going to a website, entering a zip code and the kind of care needed and checking available times. Patients can get a doctor appointment within a couple days, even if they’re new patients. And the services say most patients are seen within 15 to 20 minutes of their appointment, and when an ER backs up, patients with reservations are texted to come later.

“I truly believe talking to people on the phone to schedule doctors’ appointments will be something of the past very soon,” says Natan Edelsburg, a New York resident who has made 10 doctor appointments through one of the biggest on-

line medical appointment booking services, ZocDoc. Doctors and hospitals are using such services to attract and retain patients as the health care landscape keeps getting more competitive. With the nationwide proliferation of urgent care centers and pharmacy clinics open on nights and weekends, patients have more convenient options than ever before.

The booking websites also are a way for hospitals and doctors to try to please patients at a time when they face new financial incentives to do so. Starting this year, the Affordable Care Act, which requires most Americans to have health insurance, increases or reduces the Medicare payments hospitals receive each year based on patient satisfaction and quality.

That can have a significant impact: Medicare, which covers Americans 65 and older and others with disabilities, pays for 43 percent of hospital patients’ care. A similar program for doctors starts next year.

“I don’t think you can compete in our medical practice marketplace without being a ZocDoc participant,” says Dr. Bobby Buka, a New York dermatologist who gets about 15 patients a week from ZocDoc.

EASY BOOKING The services, which are free for patients but usually charge $200 to $300 per doctor a month, are benefiting from the focus on making scheduling easier for patients.

Keanya Swaby, right, a patient access employee in the emergency room at Jersey City Medical Center, inputs information for Michele Marion, 44, into a computer at the hospital in Jersey City, New Jersey. Marion, who was suffering from severe stomach aches, was quickly admitted into the hospital with the help of her daughter, Shawanda Marion, who made an appointment using the hospital’s mobile phone application.

ER Express, an Atlanta startup, books reservations for more than 150 ERs and urgent care centers in nearly 30 states. It served more than 40,000 patients in 2014, up 300 percent from 2013.

Meanwhile, ZocDoc, which is based in New York, has more than 6 million patients per month making appointments for dentists, family doctors and 40-plus types of specialists in more than 2,000 cities. ZocDoc was started in 2007

by Cyrus Massoumi, who was frustrated trying to get care after his eardrum ruptured during a long flight and he had to wait four days to see an ear specialist.

“We think everyone in America will be booking online eventually,” Massoumi says.

InQuicker had a similar origin. It also was founded by someone who had some experience with the hassles of scheduling medical appointments. Tyler Kiley, who’d

spent lots of time in ERs growing up because his mom was an ER nurse and his dad a hospital administrator, started it in 2006. He says he’d seen lots of unnecessary waiting, so he created software for online check-ins.

Growth surged after current CEO Mike Brody-Waite joined in 2010, bringing his marketing expertise: InQuicker now serves 224 hospital ERs, 517 doctor practices, 126 urgent care centers and some other medical providers. The Nashville company scheduled 302,000 appointments in 2014, up more than 80 percent from 2013, and its revenue was $7 million. Revenue is projected to reach $15 million this year, says marketing chief Stacie Pawlicki.

WIN-WIN-WIN Doctors and hospitals say the services help attract new patients.

At Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital outside Chicago,

assistant ER director Dr. Steve Edelstein says ER Express sends about 40 patients a month to his ER and the hospital’s nearby Grayslake Emergency Center. A quarter are new patients, and he says those tech-savvy customers “are generally more likely to have credit cards and good insurance” than others.

“It’s been nothing but a benefit,” Edelstein says.

Jersey City Medical Center and its two urgent care centers rolled out InQuicker two years ago, and use grew quickly. Together, they draw roughly 300 patients a month — 70 percent of them new patients — through InQuicker and their own www. healthstops.com site.

“It’s helped a lot with patient satisfaction,” says operations chief Kirat Kharode.

His ER’s average wait to see a doctor is 35 minutes, versus 15 or less with a reservation.

ROLL CALL WASHINGTON (AP) — Here’s how area members of Congress voted on major issues in the week ending Jan. 16.

HOUSE HOMELAND SECURITY BUDGET Voting 236 for and 191 against, the House on Jan. 14 approved a $39.7 billion fiscal 2015 appropriations bill (HR 240) for the Department of Homeland Security that was coupled with GOP amendments to negate executive orders by President Obama on immigration policies.

Charles Dent, R-Pa., said the bill “fully funds ... Customs and Border Protection and its 21,370 agents, who provide not only security at our northern and southern borders, but also at our many ports of entry where goods come and go from all over the world.”

Referring to the immigration amendments, Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., said, “The fact that the majority chooses to gamble with homeland security, of all budgets, is troubling, to say the least. At a time when we face a higher terrorist threat, these tactics are potentially deadly.”

A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, where it faces a 60-vote hurdle to advance.

VOTE H-1 slugged HOMELAND Voting yes: Mark Sanford, R-1, Joe Wilson, R-2; Jeff Duncan, R-3; Trey Gowdy, R-4; Mick Mulvaney, R-5; and Tom Rice, R-7 Voting no: James Clyburn, D-6 Not voting: None DEFUNDING OF ‘DREAMERS’ PROGRAM Voting 218 for and 209 against, the House on Jan. 14 adopted a Republican amendment to deny funding in HR 240 for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which President Obama established by executive order in June 2012. Under DACA, more than 500,000 undocumented aliens who were brought illegally to the U.S. as children and see America as their only home — so-called “dreamers” — have received temporary work authorization and two-year reprieves from the possibility of deportation. This amendment would kill the program by effectively preventing renewals of DACA status and barring new enrollees.

Tom Marino, R-Pa., said DACA “has become a magnet for drawing children from Central America, further putting thousands of children’s lives at risk ... .”

John Conyers, D-Mich., said the amendment “is anti-immigrant and anti-family. This is a vote to deport ‘dreamers.’”

A yes vote was to adopt the

amendment.

VOTE H-2 slugged DREAMERS Voting yes: Sanford, Wilson, Duncan, Gowdy, Mulvaney and Rice Voting no: Clyburn Not voting: None DEFUNDING OF IMMIGRATION ORDER By a vote of 237 for and 190 against, the House on Jan. 14 amended HR 240 (above) to effectively kill an executive order by President Obama that is now giving temporary relief from potential deportation to more than four million undocumented aliens who are parents of U.S. citizens or permanent legal residents born before Nov. 20, 2014. To qualify for the program and receive work authorization, these individuals must have lived in the U.S. for at least five years, pass criminal background checks, submit biometric data, establish that their child was born by the date of the order and agree to pay fees and taxes.

Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said the amendment would defund an “unconstitutional power grab” that “threatens the separation of powers between Congress and the executive branch and violates (the president’s) obligation to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”

Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., told Republicans, “The fruits of your action today will cause only anger and outrage and the mobilization of an immigrant community throughout this nation that will be the death knell of the future of your party as a national institution.”

A yes vote was to adopt the amendment.

VOTE H-3 slugged ORDER Voting yes: Sanford, Wilson, Duncan, Gowdy, Mulvaney and Rice Voting no: Clyburn Not voting: None GOP IMMIGRATION AMENDMENTS Voting 184 for and 244 against, the House on Jan. 14 defeated a Democratic motion that sought to strip HR 240 of its GOP-sponsored immigration amendments while increasing by 1 percent the 2015 budget for “fusion centers” located in each state. Already funded at $300 million in the bill, these centers help law enforcement at all levels of government coordinate and analyze information on terrorist threats.

Steve Israel, D-N.Y., said the bill with its immigration measures “goes too far. For the first time in history, they are holding our security hostage to the politics of immigration.”

Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said the bill “is not a fight between Republicans and

Democrats” or “over immigration reform. This is a fight over whether this branch of government will ever find the courage to stand up for itself.”

A yes vote was to adopt the motion, which, had it prevailed, would have immediately amended the bill.

VOTE H-4 slugged IMMIGRATION Voting yes: Clyburn Voting no: Sanford, Wilson, Duncan, Gowdy, Mulvaney and Rice Not voting: None FINANCIAL DEREGULATION Voting 271 for and 154 against, the House on Jan. 14 passed a bill (HR 37) that would weaken or repeal several rules for banks and private-equity firms that stem from the Dodd-Frank financial-regulation law, which Congress enacted in 2010 as its main response to the global financial collapse of 2008-09. Republican sponsors said their bill would promote economic growth and help small businesses.

The bill gives institutions such as Wells Fargo, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase two additional years, until 2019, to comply with a prohibition on their investing taxpayer-insured deposits in the risky instruments known as collateralized loan obligations. In addition, the bill softens Securities and Exchange Commission registration requirements for private-equity firms that function also as broker-dealers.

The bill also would ease SEC requirements on disclosures that companies must make about the worth of company stock they offer as part of employee-compensation packages.

Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, said, “Much has been said about Wall Street versus Main Street. This is about Main Street jobs. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Independent Community Bankers Association and the American Bankers Association all talk about how this will help.”

Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., said that in 2008, he witnessed “the harmful impact that lack of regulation had on hardworking families. ... Many pension funds today continue to suffer and are on the brink of collapse because of the reckless policies that were observed during that time by many of our major banks.”

A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, where it faces a 60-vote hurdle to advance.

VOTE H-5 slugged FINANCIAL Voting yes: Sanford, Wilson, Duncan, Gowdy, Mulvaney and Rice Voting no: Clyburn Not voting: None COMPANIES THAT ASSIST TERRORISTS Voting 183 for and 242 against, the

House on Jan. 14 defeated a Democratic motion to HR 37 that would prohibit regulatory relief in the American financial system for state sponsors of terrorism or any company that has been convicted of assisting a terrorist organization.

Seth Moulton, D-Mass., said, “Reasonable people may disagree on the merits of this bill, but we should all be able to agree that those who support terrorists and state sponsors of terrorism should never use our financial system to their benefit.”

Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, said “there are numerous bad-actor provisions already within our federal securities law. So, with the possible exception of the unconstitutional power grab of our president in granting amnesty and possibly allowing new bad actors to enter our country, I think that (this) motion to recommit is probably largely irrelevant.”

A yes vote was to adopt the motion, which, had it prevailed, would have immediately amended the bill.

VOTE H-6 slugged COMPANIES Voting yes: Clyburn Voting no: Sanford, Wilson, Duncan, Gowdy, Mulvaney and Rice Not voting: None SENATE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE The Senate on Jan. 12 voted, 63 for and 32 against, to advance a bill (S 1) that would authorize construction of a Keystone XL Pipeline leg between the Canadian border and Steele City, Nebraska. This set the stage for debate on amendments to the bill, which gives federal approval to the pipeline for moving Canadian tarsands crude to the Texas Gulf Coast.

John Hoeven, R-N.D., said, “Canada’s (oil) production is continuing to grow. And if we build the infrastructure, we can make sure that we control that energy — North American energy security.”

Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., said TransCanada, the pipeline owner, “knows they are not going to be successful in getting this oil from Alberta across British Columbia out to the Pacific because the people of British Columbia do not want it. So, of course, why not come to the United States?”

A yes vote was to advance the bill.

THE SUMTER ITEM

Call the newsroom at: (803) 774-1226 | E-mail: pressrelease@theitem.com

Wet winter days perfect for scouting, resetting M

aking the best of a very wet situation.

The weather just hasn’t been conducive to a good outing. I thought about going to the swamp last weekend to try my hand at a duck or two, but that didn’t work out too well. I gave passing consideration to heading out to the hunt club and pulling down another stand, but it was raining just about every afternoon.

Now understand, 30 years ago I would have put on a rain suit and barged right on out the door. I’ve mellowed in my old age though, and no longer feel the urge to be stupid.

Oh the days I have spent in a duck boat, in the driving rain, at 34 degrees, shivering until my teeth shattered just to get a shot at a duck that was too smart to fly around in weather like that! That’s probably one reason my body no longer works like it once did. I put too much stress on it while I was young.

Hey, everybody knows that the fish bite better in the rain and those stripers that start

running up the river in March are no exception. How many hours have I sat in the rain miserable, water running down my neck and pooling around the seat of my pants? I will tell you that I’ve found that fish do indeed bite better in the rain, especially stripers and crappie, but I’ve also learned that I no longer want to catch them bad enough to sit in the cold rain and wait on them.

There is one exception. I have always wanted to deer hunt in the snow. I don’t know why, but there is something about it that just intrigues the heck out of me. Since I live in South Carolina, the likelihood of me ever hunting in the snow is remote at best.

So with the weekend shot and the afternoons not looking really great, it would be a “play it by ear” kind of thing.

I watched the radar and things were not looking too bad the other afternoon. While it was still cloudy and cold, there was no rain showing up on the screen anywhere in the state, so I felt pretty good about heading out.

Whatever I did, it would have to be a “hit it and run” kind of thing, because by the time I could get there it Earle would be Woodward pushing 4:30 AFIELD & and the sun AFLOAT went down at 5:30 and it was cloudy.

Darkness would come quickly.

As odd as it may sound, what I opted for was a scouting hour. I have found that this time of the year is a great time to do some scouting for next deer season.

The rut is over and the deer are still in their winter pattern; so by walking around now, even if you disturb the neighborhood deer, what difference does it make? you’re not going to be hunting them this weekend anyway. By next season, they will have forgotten the intrusion. You can learn an awful lot by looking now.

Given that the leaves are all

off of the trees, more light gets down into the woods and that helps see trails in places that are almost too dark in the summer months.

With leaves off of the understory, the trails really shine.

The depressions made over time, by hundreds of little feet, just hollers, “Look at me!”

With the temperature hovering around 39 degrees, I pulled a set of overalls on and slipped a medium-weight vest over my sweatshirt and I was off. If I had been sitting still in a blind or boat, I would have bundled up like an eskimo, but I knew that walking in the woods would keep me toasty.

My hunting partner, Jack, and I wrote off a piece of our lease last year. The ice storm of February 2014 had made a mess of things, and we just didn’t want to have to deal with it. However, after a damp summer rotting some stuff, I thought it was worth a look.

The ice storm did a number on the woods, but at the same time, it had opened it up a bit and provided some nice patches of cover to place a ground

blind. As I plodded along, I noticed where animals had recently walked. The leaves on the forest floor had dried a bit, but some of the leaves in the trails had been turned over and were still wet. I found scrapes, rubs and a nice place to put the blind. I even paced off distances to landmarks and took compass readings so I’d know what winds will work best for the new blind site.

Before I make my final decision on the spot, I’ve got one more place to walk around in, but what I saw looked pretty good.

I got back to the truck, dry, but hot. All the walking worked up a bit of a sweat; maybe the vest was overkill.

Perhaps the best part about it was that I got out for a bit. It doesn’t take much time in the outdoors for a person to calm down and reset. Okay, so the weather wasn’t perfect, but if you pay attention, you can slip out between showers and enjoy a bit of the outside world.

I did put a fire in the fireplace when I got home.

Whitetail deer management pays off for new generation of hunters

BY ERROL CASTENS The Associated Press TUPELO, Miss. — To say that whitetail deer hunting in Mississippi has changed over the past couple of generations is akin to saying a hurricane is a bit breezy and damp.

Time was when a deer was a rare sight in much of the state.

“I can remember my grandfather, when I was little, got a phone call.

Somebody had seen a deer track at deer camp,” said Chad Dacus, wildlife bureau director at the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks.

Every available member of the hunting club was summoned to help find the animal. After much effort it was shot and ceremoniously butchered.

“When he came home, he had a little plastic bag of deer meat. Everybody at the camp got a little bit,” Dacus said. “That was really special.”

Ronnie Cannon, a bow hunter and owner of Hole in the Wall Outfitters in Oxford, remembers a related account.

“I’ve heard that one time in the National Forest between here and Thaxton, somebody actually saw a deer run across the road, and when he told about it, somebody called him a liar,”

he said. “They all got in their trucks and went out there, and he said, ‘Here’s the tracks.’ They were amazed.”

Gerald Bogue, a Union County hunting club manager and guide, said he remembers seeing the containers left in the Little Tallahatchie River bottom after deer had been imported to the area.

“My dad’s generation, back before my time, there wasn’t even a deer season,” he said. “It was a shocking discovery to see a deer when I was kid.”

Generations ago, hunters bought a deer tag each season in hopes of killing one deer. Today, the species is so plentiful that hunters in Mississippi kill some 280,000 deer per year, according to MDWFP, from the state’s herd of 1.75 million.

As a result of the high population, between bow, primitive weapon and regular gun seasons, Mississippi hunters can pursue deer from Oct. 1 to Jan. 31, with bag limits of eight deer per license year.

“Here we are now, trying to kill 150 deer in the city limits of Oxford,” Cannon said. “That’s all management.”

The difference is intentional. MDWFP’s White-tailed Deer Program aims “to provide a quality white-tailed deer population statewide and offer maxi-

Its Deer Management Assistance Program helps some 600 private landowners from individuals to global paper and timber companies with data collection, harvest recommendations and other aids to maintain healthy numbers on some 2.5 million acres of land, with similar services provided on a variety of public lands.

It’s more than just the number of deer that makes deer hunting today not your grandfather’s sport.

“It’s the equipment of now versus then,” said Bogue, 53. “When I was a kid, you put on oversized rubber boots, three pairs of socks and extra pants. Now the sky’s the limit on what you can spend to stay warm and dry.

“My cousins and friends and I would pile up with the older folks in one old four-wheel-drive and go down into the river bottom and sleep in a canvas tent for a week,” he said.

“Even for squirrel hunting, we’d camp out for a week. At the end of the week, everybody would divide up whatever meat there was.

the last three years. Jigging a half-ounce spoon for perch, some days anglers will catch just as many white bass as perch. The best pattern for targeting white bass is to locate schools of bait, either using electronics or by following the birds. Birds could be diving on baitfish that loons are running up and not striper or white bass near the surface, but birds do indicate the presence of baitfish. Jigging a spoon off the bottom around baitfish schools will catch a wide variety of predatory fish including white bass, perch, striper and others - making it a really fun way to fish.

For now the best depth for jigging is 30-36 feet. As always, be sure to have a topwater lure tied on in case fish are busting on the surface. Largemouth Bass: Good to very good. Veteran tournament angler Stan Gunter reports that the bass bite on Greenwood has been surprisingly strong with the fish eating very well. Fish can be found up shallow chasing shad in most any little pocket off the main lake or in a big creek, and the result has been a lot of low- and mid20 pound sacks weighed in during tournaments.

Alabama rigs have been very effective and anglers have also been doing well throwing single hollow belly swim baits. The cold front may slow the bite down temporarily, but Stan expects it to quickly rebound as things warm back up.

Lake Monticello Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that the big fish bite has been very strong recently, although it has gotten a little less consistent. As usual when pursuing big fish anglers need to be patient, particularly now when catfish have their choice of millions of slow-moving or even dying baitfish to feed on. Drifting slowly or giving anchored baits plenty of time can have a huge payoff, such as the 97-pound fish landed on Chris’ boat in December.

Overall, both drifting and anchoring are working equally well and he most productive depth zone has been 40-70 feet of water. Ledges of gullies seem to be the most productive terrain and white perch and gizzard shad have been the best baits. Free line anglers report good numbers of ½ to 5 pound fish free-lining small pieces of herring over deep water.

Lake Russell Perch: Very good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that perch fishing remains very strong, with white and yellow perch mixed in with other predatory species around the big schools of bait. Minnows fished just off the bottom are working best. Some very large perch have been caught around timber. Striped bass: Fair to good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that the best pattern has been casting Alabama rigs under the birds, which has usually meant over deep water on the main channel. Fish will also take freelined herring or shiners fished in the same areas. The bite has definitely been better on the lower end of the lake than up the lake, and the lower end of the Rocky River has been particularly strong. Most of all, though, be sure to follow the birds and fish in the areas where they are diving.

Lake Thurmond Striped and Hybrid Bass: Fair to good. Captain William Sasser reports that striper can be caught back in the creeks in the mid-lake area pulling planer boards and free-lining with live herring. Look in 25-30 feet of water particularly around the troughs of creeks; fish will be holding approximately 15-20 feet deep. Down-lines fished at the same depth in the same areas will also produce. Mid-lake around the 378 bridge, Raysville and the Amity areas have all been good. Hybrid bass and white perch can be found on the bottom in about 50 feet of water.

Lake Wylie Catfish: Very good. Captain Rodger Taylor reports that the best pattern is to drift very slowly (.4 miles per hour or less) around the mouths of major creeks using either wind or a trolling motor. Concentrate on 35-55 feet of water, being sure to cover all parts of the channel as well as the flats nearby to isolate the structure and depth to which fish are relating. After catching fish you can refine your drift to focus on the key areas. Rodger notes that some fishermen are more likely to try to locate individual fish on their electronics before fishing, but he prefers to focus on the structure to pattern them. Fresh cut gizzard shad is a very good bait this time of year.

Fishing Report Santee Cooper System Crappie: Fair to good. Captain Steve English reports that his boat is not catching a ton of crappie, but they are catching some very nice 3 plus pound fish right now. Fish are scattered around brush in 26-40 feet of water, and they can be caught from the top of the brush to the bottom on minnows. The lower lake has been producing much better than the upper lake right now. Before the extreme cold surface temperatures were still in the low 50s, but if they drop below about 45 then a shad kill is likely and the crappie bite will slow down. If that does not happen then the brush pattern could remain pretty stable through the end of February. Catfish: Fair to good.

Captain Jim Glenn reports that blue catfish are showing up where they are expected to be in the cold season. Many of the fish are concentrated around schools of bait, which on the lower end of Lake Marion will typically be in 30 plus feet of water and along the old river channel in 35-45 feet of water. On the lower end of Lake Moultrie this will be in 40-60 feet of water, although in both lakes at times bait may migrate or be wind-blown into shallower areas. Threadfin shad in particular are very temperature-sensitive and so they will seek out very slight temperature differentials to stay warm. Fishing suspended cut baits, drifting or flat-lining around bait schools should produce, but it’s also worth anchoring shallow in a few, select areas particularly in Lake Marion. These spots will be in 4-10 feet of water on humps or just off cypress and gum trees.

Finally, don’t be afraid to look very shallow if wind blows bait schools into shallow flats.

Lake Murray Catfish: Fair. Captain Chris Simpson reports that the latest big rains and large influx of water have caused the catfish to scatter and become a little difficult to catch. Once located fish are willing to bite, but they can be hard to find. Creek and river channel ledges are the most consistent areas to find a few feeding fish, but if you spend the time searching flats with baitfish you may find some fish that are feeding very aggressively. Drifting is the best way to cover water

and find feeding fish, and there is nothing wrong with re-drifting the same water if you find some feeding fish on the first run. Cut herring and shad are the best baits right now. Striped bass: Fair. Captain Brad Taylor reports that good numbers of striper made their way up the river in their annual run, but the rains created muddy water and so a lot of the fish moved back down the lake below the mud line.

The fish that stayed up the lake scattered out and became harder to locate, and they seem to be feeding less. Overall the best bet right now is to fish down-lines in 40-45 feet of water down around Buffalo Creek and Rocky Creek, but the rivers may turn on again once the water settles out a bit. Keep your eyes open for schooling fish, and follow the birds, but surface activity has slowed a bit right now.

Lake Wateree Crappie: Good. Fish have moved up the lake and they can be found from the State Park up to the foot of the upper dam along the ledges of the river channel. Look just off the bottom in 18-22 feet of water; fish will generally be within 6-12 inches of the bottom. The best pattern is tight-lining with Fish Stalker jigs with minnows on them, and plain minnows will also work. This is not a time of year when anglers are advised to fish plain jigs - you need to “hang some meat on them.” Fish are active but lethargic and so it is important to be slow and very patient with them. Catfish: Good. Start off by fishing deep water current breaks and give a good spot an hour before moving onto the next similar spot. If deep breaks do not seem to be holding fish then try to locate fish on the flats, particularly if birds are working an area. If neither deep drops or flats are producing then head into the creeks; sometimes a very small temperature differential will move fish up shallow to feed even during the coldest periods. Cut gizzard shad is the preferred wintertime bait.

Lake Greenwood White bass and perch: Very good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that it appears that the white bass population is making a strong come-back on Lake Greenwood with some very successful spawns over

Its Deer Management Assistance Program helps some 600 private landowners from individuals to global paper and timber companies with data collection, harvest recommendations and other aids to maintain healthy numbers on some 2.5 million acres of land, with similar services provided on a variety of public lands.

It’s more than just the number of deer that makes deer hunting today not your grandfather’s sport.

“It’s the equipment of now versus then,” said Bogue, 53. “When I was a kid, you put on oversized rubber boots, three pairs of socks and extra pants. Now the sky’s the limit on what you can spend to stay warm and dry.

“My cousins and friends and I would pile up with the older folks in one old four-wheel-drive and go down into the river bottom and sleep in a canvas tent for a week,” he said.

“Even for squirrel hunting, we’d camp out for a week. At the end of the week, everybody would divide up whatever meat there was.

the last three years. Jigging a half-ounce spoon for perch, some days anglers will catch just as many white bass as perch. The best pattern for targeting white bass is to locate schools of bait, either using electronics or by following the birds. Birds could be diving on baitfish that loons are running up and not striper or white bass near the surface, but birds do indicate the presence of baitfish. Jigging a spoon off the bottom around baitfish schools will catch a wide variety of predatory fish including white bass, perch, striper and others - making it a really fun way to fish.

For now the best depth for jigging is 30-36 feet. As always, be sure to have a topwater lure tied on in case fish are busting on the surface. Largemouth Bass: Good to very good. Veteran tournament angler Stan Gunter reports that the bass bite on Greenwood has been surprisingly strong with the fish eating very well. Fish can be found up shallow chasing shad in most any little pocket off the main lake or in a big creek, and the result has been a lot of low- and mid20 pound sacks weighed in during tournaments.

Alabama rigs have been very effective and anglers have also been doing well throwing single hollow belly swim baits. The cold front may slow the bite down temporarily, but Stan expects it to quickly rebound as things warm back up.

Lake Monticello Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that the big fish bite has been very strong recently, although it has gotten a little less consistent. As usual when pursuing big fish anglers need to be patient, particularly now when catfish have their choice of millions of slow-moving or even dying baitfish to feed on. Drifting slowly or giving anchored baits plenty of time can have a huge payoff, such as the 97-pound fish landed on Chris’ boat in December.

Overall, both drifting and anchoring are working equally well and he most productive depth zone has been 40-70 feet of water. Ledges of gullies seem to be the most productive terrain and white perch and gizzard shad have been the best baits. Free line anglers report good numbers of ½ to 5 pound fish free-lining small pieces of herring over deep water.

Lake Russell Perch: Very good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that perch fishing remains very strong, with white and yellow perch mixed in with other predatory species around the big schools of bait. Minnows fished just off the bottom are working best. Some very large perch have been caught around timber. Striped bass: Fair to good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that the best pattern has been casting Alabama rigs under the birds, which has usually meant over deep water on the main channel. Fish will also take freelined herring or shiners fished in the same areas. The bite has definitely been better on the lower end of the lake than up the lake, and the lower end of the Rocky River has been particularly strong. Most of all, though, be sure to follow the birds and fish in the areas where they are diving.

Lake Thurmond Striped and Hybrid Bass: Fair to good. Captain William Sasser reports that striper can be caught back in the creeks in the mid-lake area pulling planer boards and free-lining with live herring. Look in 25-30 feet of water particularly around the troughs of creeks; fish will be holding approximately 15-20 feet deep. Down-lines fished at the same depth in the same areas will also produce. Mid-lake around the 378 bridge, Raysville and the Amity areas have all been good. Hybrid bass and white perch can be found on the bottom in about 50 feet of water.

Lake Wylie Catfish: Very good. Captain Rodger Taylor reports that the best pattern is to drift very slowly (.4 miles per hour or less) around the mouths of major creeks using either wind or a trolling motor. Concentrate on 35-55 feet of water, being sure to cover all parts of the channel as well as the flats nearby to isolate the structure and depth to which fish are relating. After catching fish you can refine your drift to focus on the key areas. Rodger notes that some fishermen are more likely to try to locate individual fish on their electronics before fishing, but he prefers to focus on the structure to pattern them. Fresh cut gizzard shad is a very good bait this time of year.

Fishing Report Santee Cooper System Crappie: Fair to good. Captain Steve English reports that his boat is not catching a ton of crappie, but they are catching some very nice 3 plus pound fish right now. Fish are scattered around brush in 26-40 feet of water, and they can be caught from the top of the brush to the bottom on minnows. The lower lake has been producing much better than the upper lake right now. Before the extreme cold surface temperatures were still in the low 50s, but if they drop below about 45 then a shad kill is likely and the crappie bite will slow down. If that does not happen then the brush pattern could remain pretty stable through the end of February. Catfish: Fair to good.

Captain Jim Glenn reports that blue catfish are showing up where they are expected to be in the cold season. Many of the fish are concentrated around schools of bait, which on the lower end of Lake Marion will typically be in 30 plus feet of water and along the old river channel in 35-45 feet of water. On the lower end of Lake Moultrie this will be in 40-60 feet of water, although in both lakes at times bait may migrate or be wind-blown into shallower areas. Threadfin shad in particular are very temperature-sensitive and so they will seek out very slight temperature differentials to stay warm. Fishing suspended cut baits, drifting or flat-lining around bait schools should produce, but it’s also worth anchoring shallow in a few, select areas particularly in Lake Marion. These spots will be in 4-10 feet of water on humps or just off cypress and gum trees.

Finally, don’t be afraid to look very shallow if wind blows bait schools into shallow flats.

Lake Murray Catfish: Fair. Captain Chris Simpson reports that the latest big rains and large influx of water have caused the catfish to scatter and become a little difficult to catch. Once located fish are willing to bite, but they can be hard to find. Creek and river channel ledges are the most consistent areas to find a few feeding fish, but if you spend the time searching flats with baitfish you may find some fish that are feeding very aggressively. Drifting is the best way to cover water

and find feeding fish, and there is nothing wrong with re-drifting the same water if you find some feeding fish on the first run. Cut herring and shad are the best baits right now. Striped bass: Fair. Captain Brad Taylor reports that good numbers of striper made their way up the river in their annual run, but the rains created muddy water and so a lot of the fish moved back down the lake below the mud line.

The fish that stayed up the lake scattered out and became harder to locate, and they seem to be feeding less. Overall the best bet right now is to fish down-lines in 40-45 feet of water down around Buffalo Creek and Rocky Creek, but the rivers may turn on again once the water settles out a bit. Keep your eyes open for schooling fish, and follow the birds, but surface activity has slowed a bit right now.

Lake Wateree Crappie: Good. Fish have moved up the lake and they can be found from the State Park up to the foot of the upper dam along the ledges of the river channel. Look just off the bottom in 18-22 feet of water; fish will generally be within 6-12 inches of the bottom. The best pattern is tight-lining with Fish Stalker jigs with minnows on them, and plain minnows will also work. This is not a time of year when anglers are advised to fish plain jigs - you need to “hang some meat on them.” Fish are active but lethargic and so it is important to be slow and very patient with them. Catfish: Good. Start off by fishing deep water current breaks and give a good spot an hour before moving onto the next similar spot. If deep breaks do not seem to be holding fish then try to locate fish on the flats, particularly if birds are working an area. If neither deep drops or flats are producing then head into the creeks; sometimes a very small temperature differential will move fish up shallow to feed even during the coldest periods. Cut gizzard shad is the preferred wintertime bait.

Lake Greenwood White bass and perch: Very good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that it appears that the white bass population is making a strong come-back on Lake Greenwood with some very successful spawns over

Three-time Emmy nominee Rainn Wilson (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The OfďŹ ceâ&#x20AC;?) makes his return to network television as the brilliant Everett Backstrom, a hardboiled detective whose shell is cracking from the strain of an unhealthy lifestyle and cynical outlook, on the offbeat FOX crime procedural â&#x20AC;&#x153;Backstrom,â&#x20AC;? premiering Thursday at 9 p.m. Based on the Swedish book series by Leif G.W. Persson, the dramedy series was developed for American television by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bonesâ&#x20AC;? executive producer Hart Hanson.

Like Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popular character of power-hungry Dunder MifďŹ&#x201A;in salesman Dwight Schrute, an intense, martial arts-loving and Draconian-minded sycophant; and his role as the overly judgmental costumed vigilante in the feature ďŹ lm â&#x20AC;&#x153;Super,â&#x20AC;? Backstrom exhibits a certain repugnance toward lesser specimens of humanity, yet here he pairs his loathing with self-destructive behavior that hints at his childhood abuse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get all psychological about it,â&#x20AC;? Wilson prefaces his description, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s addicted to pretty much everything on the Earth. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an alcoholic, drug addict, food addict, sex addict â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you name it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and he partakes.

That partially comes from family upbringing, but mostly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just his own genetic makeup. His life is falling apart, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not working for him.â&#x20AC;?

After his offensive behavior got him exiled to the trafďŹ c division for ďŹ ve years, Backstrom has returned from his disgrace to head up the new Special Crimes Unit (SCU) of the Portland, Oregon, police department, a position in which he is assigned the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most sensitive and serious cases. Assisting him in these duties are a team of fellow ofďŹ cers distinguished by their own skills and eccentricities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well,â&#x20AC;? Wilson reveals, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got Dennis Haysbert playing Almond, who starts to factor in throughout the course of the season much stronger as a character. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a preacher, so he sees the best in everyone and believes

in a higher spiritual redemption, and Backstrom doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Niedermayer, played by Kristoffer Polaha. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an expert in forensics but everyone in the forensics department hates him. And youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got Paquet, played by Beatrice Rosen, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a brilliant kind of information technology person, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a civilian whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been hired by the department. And then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got Moto, played by Page Kennedy, who used to be a MMA ďŹ ghter and is the muscle of the operation.â&#x20AC;? The cast also includes Genevieve Angelson as Detective Nicole Gravely, an ex-vice squad ofďŹ cer who is the heart and soul of the SCU. As Backstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctor (guest star Rizwan Manji) nags at him to make smarter choices for his health (even prescribing that he make at least one new friend), the detective routinely reveals his keen acumen for solving crimes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the latter marking a departure from the source novels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Swedish books he kind of accidentally solves crimes, almost due to his own boorishness,â&#x20AC;? Wilson explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and obviously you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a TV show where someone accidentally solves a crime each week. [On our show] heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brilliant at solving crimes.

Because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so closely connected to the dark side of humanity, and he sees the worst in people, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s able to kind of intuit whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in the minds of criminals. He has these kind of like dark instincts where he literally sees the world through a different lens.â&#x20AC;?

While Wilson had been reluctant to sign on to another TV series after nine seasons of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The OfďŹ ce,â&#x20AC;? he says he just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist the multifaceted character. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many colors and textures to this guy,â&#x20AC;? Wilson elaborates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s despicable and funny, and charming and wounded, and acerbic and big-hearted â&#x20AC;&#x201C; parts like this just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come around very often. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love how unďŹ ltered he is. He says exactly what he thinks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and he says what a lot of us think but in this PC world weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not able to say. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an equal opportunity hater. You know, you could say heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s racist but he hates

white people just as much as he hates any other race. And Dwight had that, too. Dwight would sometimes just say things, you know. He would say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re PMSing pretty bad, Pam,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; you know, just kind of the stuff that would come out of his mouth. So, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a similarity there.â&#x20AC;?

Despite Backstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extreme viewpoints, insulting manner and reckless lifestyle, Wilson believes the character will be highly relatable with most viewers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think every culture in the world has hard-drinking, prickly, misanthropic people around who are brilliant at their jobs,â&#x20AC;? he posits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably from Swahili to Urdu, you can ďŹ nd that kind of character.â&#x20AC;?

The actor acknowledges Backstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kinship with such classic ďŹ lm-noir detectives of the past as Philip Marlowe, but he insists his characterization has more contemporary roots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hart and I spoke about how his dialogue is very hardboiled â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almost Sam Spade. Of course, I grew up watching all those ďŹ lms and love them, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t base the character on any of those. To me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like if Columbo was an a**hole.â&#x20AC;?

The comedy of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Backstromâ&#x20AC;? is even more incidental than that of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The OfďŹ ce,â&#x20AC;? but Wilson insists that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it any easier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know, any kind of humor is hard,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as broad as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dumb and Dumber,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; or whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as subtle as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Veepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on HBO, which is one of my favorite shows. Anytime you try to make someone laugh, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s super hard. I think the good thing about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Backstromâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a believable world in which crimes are being solved and the stakes are very high, ďŹ rst and foremost, and then you get laughs because of the quirkiness and the realness of the characters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tricky balance in a dramedy between keeping it real and gritty and at the same time allowing us a certain measure of lightness to get some laughs. You know, like the show â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Missingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a laugh to be had, and granted itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about child abduction and sex slavery, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s super gritty.

But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going for either.â&#x20AC;?
