PANORAMA

Palmetto State Law Enforcement Officers Association held its 55th conference during the past week and Capt. Jeffery Jackson with Sumter Police Department and president of the association, said this year's conference was about advocating for peace and open dialogue. The association was established in 1961 in Columbia to assist black officers throughout the state during desegregation when it was dif-

ficult for them to operate in their communities, Jackson said. During the conference, he said the officers discussed ways to stay engaged in their local communities to bridge the gap between officers and citizens. Officers are encouraged to take ownerJACKSON ship of their duties and visit communities before there are problems, he said. He said regular positive interac-

tions with citizens shows the public that law enforcement personnel are human. "It is our duty to engage the community," Jackson said. "We're going to do what we took an oath to do, which is to protect and serve." Citizens could also take the first step in engaging with officers to see what they do on a daily basis, Jackson said. If your department does not have a ride-along program, ask for one, he said.

Led by several local clergy, people gathered and prayed for strength and unity at the Old Sumter Courthouse Saturday evening during a prayer vigil organized by area ministers. During a time when violence has

rocked the nation with a series of police-involved shootings in Minnesota and Louisiana and the killing of five police officers by a sniper in Dallas, the ministers led the group in asking God to help guide them through times that are difficult to understand. “We pray for those who have lost loved ones in Baton Rouge, in Min-

nesota and in Dallas who serve and protect,” said Rev. James Blassingame of Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church. He asked God for the strength to keep fighting and to help people join together in unity. Rev. Napoleon Bradford said

Rodeo intended to hook kids on fishing Shooting suspect turns himself in BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com

Saturday wasn’t a good day to be a hungry catfish. Around 40 kids from several group homes in Columbia, Turbeville and Sumter got a chance to wet a hook at the Wateree River Correctional Institution pond Saturday morning. The pond was recently deepened and a carpenter at the correctional facility led a team of inmates who constructed an ADA accessible wooden fishing pier to allow the facility to host public events at the lake. South Carolina Department of Corrections Director Bryan Stirling said Saturday’s fishing rodeo came out of a partnership the Department of Corrections has been developing with the Department of

Natural Resources. “We did a Wounded Warriors hunt a couple of months ago that we partnered with the DNR” Stirling said. “We decided we should do a fishing rodeo.” Stirling, thought it would be a good idea to start with an event of limited size, so the idea of having children form area group homes come out and fish seemed like a good place to start. “Some of these kids don’t have a chance to get out much,” he said. “This event gives the kids a chance to get out and our correctional officers have a little fun, too,” he said. It was the perfect day to have the event, as a cloud cover left over from storms the night before kept the heat at bay, at least for a while. The DNR stocked the lake Thursday with 640 pounds of catfish, Stirling said.

Home invader slashes teen resident with knife Sumter County Sheriff’s Office is reportedly investigating a home invasion Friday in which a resident of the home was cut with a knife. About 1 p.m., a 17-year-old was home alone in his residence in the 100 block of Olin Goode Drive when he heard a noise and thought it was his father returning home, according to according to a news release from the sheriff’s office. The victim came out of the bathroom and discovered a white male, six feet tall, wearing a ski mask, work gloves, blue jeans and work boots inside the home. The victim grabbed a knife, but during a fight the intruder was able to get the knife away from the victim and used it to cut him several times, the sheriff’s office reported. The suspect fled the scene in an unknown direction. The victim was treated at Palmetto Health Tuomey. There was no word on his condition at press time Anyone who has information on this incident is asked to call Sumter County Sheriff’s Office at (803) 436-2000 or Crime Stoppers at (803) 4362718.

COLUMBIA (AP) — A cellphone app could soon lead drivers to a plantation site near Lake City, the birthplace of jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie in Cheraw, and Rosenwald schools across the state. A state commission is developing the app in hopes of encouraging drivers to explore African-American historic sites in rural South Carolina. The idea is to "get people off of I-95 and I-77 ... and into the rural communities," said Jannie Harriot, vice chairman of the state's African-American Heritage Commission . The app should be ready in January, just ahead of Black History Month.

Hundreds of sites will be searchable by county or subject, including churches, schools and cemeteries, she said. The commission annually publishes a book of historic sites of AfricanAmerican significance. Its hundreds of entries include the site of a 150-acre plantation near Lake City owned by Joshua Braveboy, a free black who fought in the Revolutionary War, and what remains of the nearly 500 schools statewide for black children funded, at least partially, by the Julius Rosenwald Foundation between 1917 and 1932. The app will add more information and make what's now a 90-page book

more user-friendly. While proponents seek to drive tourism to rural areas, the app will highlight sites in all 46 counties. Legislators gave the Department of Archives and History $100,000 for the project, overriding Gov. Nikki Haley's veto. Sen. Vincent Sheheen, who pushed to include the agency's request in the budget, said Friday that South Carolina has a "really rich history of AfricanAmerican culture" that's under-recognized. "We should promote it and be proud of it and tell the story," said Sheheen, D-Camden.

Police told The Post and Courier of Charleston that Stacy Lavale Green and Byron Rivers, both 23, knocked on the door of a home around 10 p.m. Friday, forced their way inside and tried to rob the occupants and shot the man. Investigators say Rivers was also shot during the altercation before he and Green fled. Rivers was chased and captured by the other occupants, while Green was caught by police. Rivers was hospitalized. Green is jailed without bond for all but one of the four charges he faces. It's not known if either man has an attorney.

Group doesn’t want to pay legal fees for ex-officer CHARLESTON (AP) — A police advocacy group says it doesn't want to pay the legal fees of a former North Charleston officer charged with murder in the shooting death of a black motorist more than a year ago. Michael Slager, who is white, paid monthly dues to the group Southern States Police Benevolent Association and hired an attorney through them after the shooting death of Walter Scott. But Charleston lawyer David Aylor dropped Slager three days later when video showed Slager firing as Scott tried to run away from a traffic stop in April 2015. The cellphone video was

circulated widely on the internet. Slager sued the group, saying it violated an insurance contract promising unlimited legal aid if he were involved in a shooting. U.S. District Judge David Norton is expected to take up motions in the lawsuit during a hearing Monday. Slager faces a murder charge in state court, and has pleaded not guilty to federal civil rights charges. Charleston attorney Andy Savage has represented Slager for free in state court, and he was appointed to be his defense lawyer in the federal case. In the lawsuit, Slager's lawyers alleged n a "breach of (the association's)

contract of insurance, bad faith and unfair claim practices." The association's attorney disagreed. "Mr. Slager's shooting an unarmed Mr. Scott five times in the back as he fled, planting the Taser behind Mr. Scott's body, and lying to the PBA and (the State Law Enforcement Division) are intentional acts outside the scope of Mr. Slager's duty as a police officer," the association's attorney, James Bradley of West Columbia, argued in the filing. The association on Thursday asked a judge for "summary judgment," an order that would end Slager's claims before trial.

Technology gives voices to those who can’t speak BY HOLLY RAMER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD, N.H. — Jessie Levine smiles and shakes her head when she hears the outgoing voicemail message on her iPhone. "I sound young! And fast!" she marvels. "That person never, ever expected to talk like this." The message was recorded before Levine was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, or ALS, in early 2015, and before the progressive motor neuron disease caused her speech to become slow and slurred. But as her ability to talk deteriorates, she's exploring a new way to restore her voice via speech synthesis, or the artificial production of human speech. The technology has been around for decades, but as devices shrink in size, efforts to customize them are expanding. Multiple companies and research groups are using speech synthesis engines to create voices from spoken samples, usually thousands of recorded sentences. For example, CereProc, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, created a voice for the late film critic Roger Ebert several years before his death in 2013

by mining commentary tracks he'd recorded for movies. But VocaliD, a Belmont, Massachusetts, company, is taking a different approach by creating custom voices using just a small sample from the recipient, even if they can't speak. Starting with just a tiny snippet of someone's voice — a few seconds of saying "Ahhhh" — the company matches recipients with a "donor voice" — in Levine's case, maybe a relative — and then blends the two together. The result is a sound file that can be plugged into any textto-speech device. "I have two sisters, one of whom has a lisp like I have, which I had before I had ALS. The other one, we all have this stuffiness to our speech," said Levine, 45, the manager of Sullivan County, New Hampshire. "It never occurred to me that I could use their voices, adapt it to me and then be able to use that." Company founder and CEO Rupal Patel is a speech technology professor on leave from Northeastern University. Her research found that people with severe communication disorders preserve the ability to control aspects of their voices, such as pitch and loud-

Those characteristics — what Patel calls the "melody of speech" — are also important for speaker identity, she said. "There is a level of empowerment that comes with having the freedom to be able to communicate in your own voice, and that's such an important thing, which I think has been overlooked," Patel said. No one would give a young girl a prosthetic leg meant for a grown man, she said, and voices should be no different. The company delivered its

Study suggests vitamins A and D play role in protecting the heart

or several decades, a diet with foods rich in saturated fat and

cholesterol has been thought to lead to heart disease. However, many scientists and researchers have discovered many flaws in this theory.

While the mortality rate from heart disease has declined through the decades — most likely Missy because of Corrigan improved medical techniques — the incidence of heart disease remains high. While it is difficult to pinpoint the root cause of heart disease, it is equally difficult to accept that heart disease doesn’t just occur in those with high cholesterol. Even individuals with perfect blood work and a healthy lifestyle can suffer from heart disease. Following a typical, low-fat diet has been promoted to adults and children as well as prescribing many cholesterollowering drugs to protect the heart.

Ninety years ago Americans consumed mostly animal fat that provides essential nutrients. A study published in the Journal of the American Dental Society showed that when individuals consumed butterfat, which is high in vitamin A and D and most plentiful in the spring and fall, the number of deaths from heart disease declined. But when the dry winter and summer months arrived and the vitamins in butterfat declined, the number of deaths from heart disease were high. This suggests that vitamins A and D, which are only found in animal fats, play an important role in protecting the heart, yet animal fats have become widely frowned upon. Today we get more fats from plants such as vegetable and soybean oils. These modern oils, because of the way they are processed, contain a large number of free radicals, which can initiate the buildup of plaque that causes damage to the arteries. They lack omega 3 fatty acids, which prevent inflammation, but contain too many omega 6 fatty acids, which promote inflammation that can form blood clots and lead to heart attacks. They also lack vitamins A and D, which also help protect the lungs, along with other naturally occurring antioxidants. Vitamin A is needed for the

conversion of cholesterol into steroid hormones. Cholesterol-lowering drugs increase the need for vitamin A. Vitamin D helps to prevent high blood pressure and heart arrhythmia. When protein intake is inadequate, the heart muscle shrinks and cannot perform effectively. High-protein diets that do not contain animal fats can deplete stores of vitamin A and D and interfere with mineral absorption. Saturated fats also help store and use omega 3 fatty acids. Those who are trying to avoid saturated fats and cholesterol are more likely to take in more vegetable and soybean oils because they are used in foods marketed as having low saturated fat and cholesterol. Ensure sufficient nutrient intake by using whole dairy products, consuming meat and supplementing your diet with foods high in vitamins and minerals.

first seven voices late last year and is working on about seven dozen more, which will cost $1,249 each. More than 14,000 people worldwide have donated their voices so far in a process that involves about six hours and 3,500 sentences read aloud. One of the first recipients was 17-year-old Delaney Supple, of Needham, Massachusetts, who was born with cerebral palsy. She had been using a generic computerized voice but didn't like it much; she makes a gagging gesture when

her mother mentions it. Some voice devices are controlled by eye movement or head movement. Delaney Supple types out her words on a tablet touch screen and then taps it to play them back. Delaney likes her new voice. So does her mother, Erica Supple, who said it's a much better fit. "I love listening to it," she said, "and it's funny because when I first heard it ... it sounded a little bit like her brother's voice when he was younger."

Female-to-male transmission of Zika through sex documented NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City woman infected her male partner with Zika virus through sex, the first time female-tomale transmission of the germ has been documented. Zika is usually spread by mosquitoes, and health officials have known for some time that men can spread it through sex. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the case Friday and updated its advice for pregnant women. The CDC now advises them to use protection if their sex partner has traveled to a Zika-infected region, whether the partner is a man or a woman. The Zika virus causes only a mild illness, at worst, in most people. But infection during pregnancy can lead to severe brain-related birth defects for the fetus. The New York woman was not pregnant. While this is the first doc-

umented case of a woman spreading Zika through sex, health experts say it is not surprising because most diseases that can be spread through sex can be spread by both men and women. On the day the woman returned from a trip to a Zikainfected country, she had vaginal sex with her partner, without a condom, health officials were told. She went to her doctor three days after her return, after developing common Zika symptoms such as fever, fatigue, rash and back pain. Tests showed Zika infection. Seven days after they'd had sex, her male partner developed similar symptoms. Two days later, he went to the same doctor. The doctor tested him even though he hadn't traveled from a Zika outbreak area and no cases of female-tomale transmission had been reported. He tested positive for Zika.

Sea level rise initiative targets Gullah communities BY BRUCE SMITH The Associated Press

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gullah community leader Emory Campbell, the director emeritus of Penn Center near Beaufort, speaks during a news conference at the South Carolina Aquarium in Charleston on Thursday. The aquarium announced a new initiative to help South Carolina coastal communities prepare for the effects of sea level rise.

CHARLESTON — Informing Gullah communities of slave descendants about the effects of sea level rise is part of a new initiative announced Thursday to help South Carolina coastal residents deal with climate change. The South Carolina Aquarium on Thursday announced the Resilience Initiative for Coastal Education — called RICE for short. That’s in reference to the rice economy of colonial times that was built on the backs of slaves whose descendants now comprise the Gullah sea island culture. Among the goals of the three-year initiative are raising public awareness both of sea level rise and the need for planning as well as working with local governments on solutions. Emory Campbell, a Gullah community leader and director emeritus of

Penn Center near Beaufort, said sea level rise is a long-term development that often is not readily noticed. “I think in some instances, people have sensed a change in the tides because it affects their travels getting back and forth” to work, he said. “But by and large, people are not aware of the changes now on weather.” The sea island culture, known as Gullah in the Carolinas and Geechee in Georgia and Florida, is based on farming and fishing and has its own creole language, history, cooking and crafts. Some climate change projections forecast high tides covering some Charleston streets about half the year by 2045 and sea level rising 2 feet by 2070. Global warming is also expected to spawn more powerful hurricanes, causing more extensive flooding than past storms. While Charleston has spent tens of millions of dollars on drainage and other flood projects, those resources aren’t available on many of the rural

Truck attack marks deadly twist in terror

Nintendo’s characters, vision pay off with game BY YURI KAGEYAMA AP Business Writer TOKYO — Nintendo suffered as a latecomer to smartphone games but is seeing the deep wealth of its franchise characters pay off with the success of “Pokemon Go,” even without a launch yet in Japan. The Japanese game maker was starting to look like a casualty of history until the game was launched in the U.S. earlier this month. Not anymore. Nintendo Co.’s management missed both the online and mobile revolutions. The popularity of “Pokemon Go” says much about the untapped value of cultural properties — at least when you’re lucky enough to deploy them in the right place at the right time. “Nintendo might have been slow to adapt to the smartphone era, but now that it’s doing it, it’s doing it in full force and showing tremendous power,” said Hiroyuki Kubota, a financial analyst. The windfall from what Kubota dubs “Pokenomics” could help reverse Nintendo’s fortunes, although some analysts think its effect on the company’s revenues will be limited because the game is free apart from certain revenue-earning features, he said. Nintendo’s original Pokemon game featured adventurous wanderings through a fantasy world to collect cute, imaginary monsters. “Pokemon Go” involves finding digital creatures that pop up in the screen of your mobile device as you move about the

islands where Gullah people live. “I’m concerned about the support that low-wealth people are going to have — not only coming back after a storm but getting prepared before a disaster,” Campbell said, adding there’s a need for insurance so people can rebuild. “You take New Orleans, the 9th Ward. Many people couldn’t afford to come back,” he said, referring to the largely black neighborhood in New Orleans that was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. In the past, Campbell said, Gullah people relied on support from family and friends to recover after storms. In the future, he said, “they’re going to need more than family.” Kevin Mills, the aquarium president, said the initiative will try to reach all coastal residents and “particularly those populations which are most at risk — certainly folks along coastline that may not have access to everyday information or social media.”

Pinsir, a Pokemon, is found by a group of Pokemon Go players July 12 at Bayfront Park in downtown Miami as the “Pokemon Go” craze has sent legions of players hiking across cities and battling with “pocket monsters” on their smartphones. real world. In the U.S., where it is extremely popular, some people have injured themselves in pursuit of the monsters, falling or getting distracted while driving. The augmented-reality game could boost recognition for Nintendo’s brand that likely will trickle down to other sales, including analog items such as Pokemon cards or dolls, income from Pokemon movies and other Nintendo games such as Donkey Kong, Kubota said. Nintendo’s stock has surged since “Pokemon Go” became

available in the U.S., recently trading at about $250 a share in Tokyo, up more than 40 percent from its levels before “Pokemon Go.”

LONDON (AP) — France’s deadly truck attack marks a frightening new reality in European terrorism: assailants turning to an ever-expanding arsenal in bloodshed that is becoming harder to predict or prevent. Europe is no stranger to such violence, but Thursday’s death toll of at least 84 people represented one of the deadliest vehicle attacks in recent years. The Tunisian driver plowed the vehicle into a crowd of revelers who had been watching fireworks for Bastille Day festivities. Unlike attacks that have involved explosives-laden vehicles, the sheer weight and speed of the truck on the busy promenade appeared to have caused the high number of deaths. “Using vehicles in attacks is a fairly well-established tactic with al-Qaida and the Islamic State group,” said Matthew Henman, managing editor at IHS Jane’s Terrorism and Insurgency Centre. “The deliberate use of a heavy truck targeting a crowd illustrates the demonstrability of the attack and could be the precursor for other attacks.” Supporters of al-Qaida

and the Islamic State group praised the attack Friday, but there was no immediate claim of responsibility. The militant group has called on supporters to use any means possible to strike at its targets. Attacks inspired by terror groups in recent years have involved planes, bulldozers, tractors, guns, knives, machetes, bombs, explosives and vehicles. In France, there were two other recent attacks using vehicles, but it was disputed whether the assailants had links to terrorist cells. On Dec. 22, 2014, a man ran over a group of pedestrians at a Christmas market in Nantes, killing one and injuring nine others. That attack came a day after a similar one in Dijon when a motorist also struck pedestrians, injuring 13. Both suspects, who survived, have histories of mental illness. In Montreal, a vehicle was used to kill a soldier in October 2014; a year earlier, attackers used a car to run over an off-duty soldier in London before stabbing him to death. Terrorist attacks involving vehicles have been more common outside of Europe.

White House says budget deficit will rise to $600B WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Friday predicted that the government’s budget deficit for the soon-toend fiscal year will hit $600 billion, an increase of $162 billion over last year’s tally and a reversal of a steady trend of large but improving deficits on President Obama’s watch. The disappointing figures, while expected, come after the deficit has steadily declined since the huge $1.4 trillion deficit Obama inherited after the deep 2007-09 recession and the associated fiscal crisis. The improving economy, tax increases on higher-income earners and cuts to annual agency budgets have helped close the gap during Obama’s tenure. Many economists say the longer-term picture is trou-

bling and warn that the rising debt will be a drag on the economy in the future. The budget and economic update also officially downgrades the White House’s view of the economy, predicting growth of 2.2 percent this year instead of the 2.7 percent growth rate it predicted in its February budget. But it also says inflation will stay in check, predicting a 1.1 percent increase in consumer prices versus the 1.4 percent it forecast in the winter. “Over the last seven years, the administration and the American people have worked to rebuild our economy and ensure that it is the strongest, most durable economy in the world,” the director of the Office of Management and Bud-

get, Shaun Donovan, said in a blog post accompanying the report. “The President’s Budget builds on that progress. It makes critical investments in our domestic and national security priorities.” Neither Democrat Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump has focused much on deficits and debt in their presidential campaigns, but the rising figures may lend more urgency to the issue. Trump has promised huge tax cuts that analysts say would pour trillions of dollars of debt onto the government’s books. Clinton has promised tax increases on the wealthy but would turn around and spend the money on infrastructure, subsidizing college education and other initiatives.

Camps help females prep for firefighter jobs BY MARK PRATT The Associated Press ASHLAND, Mass. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Firefighting is largely a man's world, but one suburban Boston firefighter is among a few women trying to change that. Ashland fire Lt. Lyn Moraghan founded Camp Bailout for girls in 2011 to give them a feel for what a firefighting career entails and to provide mentoring and guidance from other women, something she never really had early in her 22-year career. Only about 7 percent of U.S. firefighters were women as of 2014, the latest year for which data are available, according to a study published by the Quincy, Massachusetts-based National Fire Protection Association. To change that, a small but growing number of girls' firefighting camps have been cropping up, said Kim Cox, executive director of the International Association of Women in Fire and Emergency Services. The organization lists eight all-girls camps on its website, though Cox estimates there are another half dozen or so more. The girls at Camp Bailout don't go running into burning buildings, but they do learn how to use a fire extinguisher, how to handle a powerful fire hose and how to do water rescues, among other critical skills. They hear from other women â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not just firefighters but also police officers, nurses and medical helicopter pilots. They even learn about a firefighter's lifestyle, the 24-hour shifts, time away from family and the training. Although Moraghan has had as many as 26 girls at the camp in the past, some still in middle school, she limited it to 10 high-schoolage girls this year. The day camp is free, funded by a grant from Ashland, a town of 16,500 about 20 miles west

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Firefighter Ton Duca, left, instructs Meghan Bowles in the use of a fire extinguisher during firefighting camp at a fire station in Ashland, Massachusetts. Camp Bailout is one of about a dozen all-girl firefighting camps across the nation. of Boston. They wasted little time Monday on the first day of the weeklong camp, donning protective gear and tackling straw and propane fires with fire extinguishers as their instructors shouted encouragement. Carly Falone, 18, attended the first Camp Bailout and is back this year as a counselor. Falone, whose father is a firefighter in neighboring Framingham, started in Ashland's Fire Service Exploring program, where she was the only girl. "It was a little intimidating at first," she said. "I was unsure if I belonged. But that just motivated me to go harder and show I am just as good as the boys." The recent high school graduate plans on earning her emergency medical technician certification and taking some collegelevel fire science classes as she pursues a firefighting career.

Tara Sivak, 15, is attending Camp Bailout for the first time. "I just love helping people and just doing hands-on activities," she said. "So when my mom saw a news article about this, she thought it would interest me. I love it." Moraghan, 48, got into firefighting almost by accident.

After earning her emergency medical technician license, she knocked on the door of the Ashland Fire Department one day and asked if there were any job openings.

FARM

She was hired part time in 1994. In 1997, she was hired as the town's first full-time female firefighter after graduating from the state firefighting academy. All-girl camps are essential to build and maintain the number of women in firefighting, said Laura Baker, a past president of the International Association of Women in Firefighting and Emergency Services. The first assistant chief in the history of the Tucson (Arizona) Fire Department helped start a firefighting camp for girls called Camp Fury, which has partnered with the Girl Scouts to promote leadership skills. "Women bring a unique and different skill set to the fire service," Baker said. "Ninety percent of what we do is emergency medical services, which is a great fit for women and the natural motherly instincts and compassion women can provide." Falone, the Camp Bailout counselor, said the most important lesson she has learned is teamwork. "I'm wicked independent, but I have learned that you can't do this job alone."

CONFERENCE FROM PAGE A1 Jackson said he could not speak for other agencies, but officers in Sumter have been doing a great job of staying engaged with the community. Not all law enforcement personnel are the same, he said. He said events such as the association's conference provide information and training to help agencies weed out officers who are in their positions for the wrong reasons. Jackson said he chose to serve his community for 28 years and will continue until he no longer can. While he serves, his plan is to set the bar high for the next officer who he expects to exceed that standard. In reference to recent police shootings of citizens, Jackson said some individuals make decisions based on training and do not necessarily act with racist intent. Some people think that if an officer is scared, he should not take the job, Jackson said. Everyone experiences fear but officers are trained to deal with their fear, he said. Jackson said he cannot question or provide an answer to any of the that have taken place because he has not viewed all of the evidence. He said the public tends to judge officers too quickly because of what is displayed in the media and social media. Citizens should give the justice system a chance to work before convicting an officer of a crime, Jackson said. When an officer is acquitted of charges it is because they were not found guilty because there was not enough evidence to convict him or her, he said.

It is up to the state to prove that the officer is guilty so if the public feels that the state did not do its job, they should not blame the officer, he said. When asked about the Black Lives Matters movement, Jackson said he understands the message behind the group. "Black lives always matter because I'm a black man," Jackson said. Jackson referenced one of actor Samuel L. Jackson's lines in the 2000 movie Shaft, "Too black for the uniform, too blue for the brothers." Growing up, Capt. Jackson said he knew to cooperate with officers because he did not want the situation to escalate. Today, some young people want to hold court on the side of the road but that is not the place for that, he said. If you are approached by law enforcement personnel, proceed as directed, Jackson said. Of course, you have the right to know why you have been stopped and the officer has to provide a reason for the stop, he said. If you think the officer is acting unjustly, let him or her make that mistake, Jackson said. Report the officer to their superiors and let them investigate the officer's behavior, he said. And, you are always being recorded with the officer's body and vehicle cameras and recording devices operated by citizens, he said. If the wrongdoing is there, it will come to light, he said. Do not lose your rights by defending yourself by yourself, Jackson said. "Be honest, be open and let's move forward," he said.

Man accused of armed robbery released after 2 years in jail GREENVILLE (AP) — A South Carolina man who spent almost two years in jail for an armed robbery he says he didn't commit has had the charges against him dismissed after evidence suggested prosecutors might lose their case. The Greenville News reports that Demetrius Sims maintained his innocence after being accused of robbing a pizza restaurant near Cherrydale in July 2014. Sims, who said he was living on Social Security and disability benefits before the arrest, said neither he nor his family could pay the $35,000 bond. He petitioned for his bail to be reduced to a $10,000 recognizance bond that would allow him to be released without payment, but that motion was denied. "I had limited money. I didn't have the money to

get bonded out on something I didn't do," Sims said. Ten days before his trial was to begin, prosecutors dismissed the charges. Solicitor Walt Wilkins said the dismissal came after evidence that had been in the case file "since day one" led the 13th Circuit Solicitor's Office to conclude prosecutors "could possibly lose the case." Prosecutors came to their conclusion after Sims' newly-appointed attorney, Cassandra Gorton, met with prosecutor Walker Miller to examine the evidence against her client, Wilkins said. "It took until recently before we had a defense counsel that would look at this case in depth," Wilkins said. Gorton was brought on as his attorney shortly after a July 18 date was set for the trial to begin.

"It was by the grace of God that I got Cassandra, or else I would still be sitting in there," Sims told the newspaper. Last week, Sims took his story to Greenville County Council during the public comment period of the agenda. Members do not typically respond during the time when visitors are permitted to address the council. Sims said he is considering legal action against Greenville County. No one else has been charged in the case. Meanwhile, Sims said he is working to restore his Social Security and disability benefits and is living with a cousin, wary of venturing outside. "I lost two years of my life. I lost everything ? all my stuff, two bank accounts gone," Sims said. "It's got me fearful. I like to stay in the house."

FISHING FROM PAGE A1 DNR Capt. Billy Downer said promoting the sports of fishing and hunting is important mission to DNR. “We spend a lot of out grant money on fishing rodeos,” he said. “We having fishing clinics and fishing rodeos to get kids interested in fishing.” Downer and three or four of the children seemed to have found a good fishing hole, as the kids were getting bites every couple of minutes. “It’s also part of our law enforcement education and outreach,” he said between helping youngsters land their fish. The kids were having a blast of course, with several of them saying they caught their first fish.

Lt. Kim Leverich, a member of DNR’s law enforcement education team, was also at the lake side helping kids with their fishing technique. She said one of the girls she was helping had never been fishing before. “She’s caught three already,” she said. As one boy let Downer reel in his latest catch, he told anyone listening what a difficult fish it was to catch. “That one took seven pieces of bait, one line and one hook,” he said. Stirling said they eventually plan to have bigger fishing rodeos at the pond. They will probably need to restock the pond first, however.

SUSPECT FROM PAGE A1 An autopsy performed Saturday indicated that Witherspoon was shot multiple times, according to SPD Public Information Officer Tonyia McGirt. Peoples and Witherspoon were acquaintances, according to a press release from

SPD, but what led to the shooting is still under investigation. Peoples will be charged with murder, according to the SPD. The investigation is continuing. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Sumter Crime Stoppers at (803) 436-2700.

VIGIL FROM PAGE A1 there are children among us who have seen tragedy their whole lives. “Murder is not the norm,” he said. “It seems there are those who believe life is trivial.” Rev. George Windley Jr., pastor of First Baptist Missionary Church and president of Concerned Sumter Clergy, said it is appropriate for God’s people to come together to seek God’s healing. “We have seen the videos, the hurt families, our hearts are broken by recent events,” he said. “Still, we have the power of prayer.” We must pray for our enemies, and those who do evil

Visitation will be held from 1 to 6 p.m. Monday at the funeral home. Funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. on July 19 at New Hope Baptist Church in the Lucknow community of Lee County with the pastor the Rev. Ricky Wilson officiating.

Belton O’Neal Wilder, 93, widower of Marguerite Wilder Wilder, passed away Saturday, July 16, 2016, at Covenant Place. Born in Sumter to the late Belton O’Neal and Mattie Cubbage Wilder, O’Neal retired from Crosswell and Company after 32 years of service. He was a devoted member of Graham Baptist Church where he served as a Deacon and Church Clerk. O’Neal also served as Sunday School Secretary and Record-

acts, he said. “We pray for you to change their hearts,” Windley said. Pastor Linda Speed of the Kingdom M-pact Worship Center said God is the people's refuge and strength. “Protect us and help us to love one another,” she said. Rev. Maggie Richardson of Walker Avenue Church of God, said as a mother who has lost a son to violence, she was grateful for the people coming together to pray for togetherness. “Unity is what we need,” she said. Richardson noted the cool breeze that swept through

ing Secretary in charge of contributions for approximately 50 years. He then just served as Sunday School Secretary until he could no longer drive. He is survived by a sister, Carolyn Brogdon; two nieces, Jane Best and Janice Vaughan; several great-nieces and nephews; and special friends Tommy and Jeannette Christmas. In addition to his wife and parents, he was predeceased by a sister, LaVerne Witherspoon, and a nephew, Barry Witherspoon. Funeral services will be 2 p.m. on July 18 in the chapel of Elmore Hill McCreight Funeral Home with the Reverend John Patrick officiating. The family will receive friends in the chapel immediately following the service. Burial will be private in Sumter Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Solomons Home, 620 N. Guignard Dr.,

the ceremony out of the gathering clouds. “The breeze is a blessing to all the people who have come here to bring Sumter together,” she said. Blassingame said before the ceremony it is a sad situation in America. “This vigil is specifically for those who have lost their lives at the hands of police and also the police who serve and protect us,” he said. “We are fortunate in Sumter to have some of the finest when you talk about police,” he said. “They do it right in Sumter."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

EDITORIAL

Local leaders should back up law enforcement

Trump saves GOP from itself

Saturday’s paper (July 9) had eight articles dealing with incidents about police and crime in America. I would like to comment on three of them. All four Sumter leaders interviewed were black. One of them loves to talk about having a “vigorous discussion of the underlying problems” but doesn’t ever seem to make an effort to start the discussion. He seems to recognize the “racist” and bad police and wants to “deal with the problem and not the symptoms.” Don’t the symptoms come first? If there are no symptoms, what’s the problem? I don’t believe “that Sumter has tried to ignore problems in the community.” There is “Vision in Progress” on the first Wednesday morning, and “One Sumter” on the second Sunday evening. Both try to address the issues. He said he “called for the resurrection of the Human Relations Committee formed by Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce in the 1980’s.” What kind of progress was made during his chairing the committee for three years? Next, I don’t know what else our local law enforcement officers can do to improve the lawlessness that seems to be accepted by some in our communities. Officers are human and have to work with the worst of our society. It would be nice for our local leaders to back them up and stand up to the criminal element. Last, one 18-year-old black man was killed and another wounded [July 7] by another black man from Manning. Does it matter if a black kills a black, or does it only matter when an officer kills a black during an incident involving some criminal action? Educating our youth about right and wrong needs to be addressed. Jeremiah 5:4 says “But what can we expect from the poor and ignorant? They don’t know the ways of the Lord. They don’t understand what God expects of them. I will go and speak to their leaders. Surely they will know the Lord’s ways and what God requires of them. But the leaders, too, had utterly rejected their God.” JACQUELINE K. HUGHES Sumter

Welfare of next generations questionable in today’s world As I enter the twilight time of my life (85 in September), I worry more and more about the welfare of our children and grandchildren. I worry about the potential of a left wing Supreme Court that wouldn’t follow our Constitution. I wish we could go back in time, back to my generation. A time when we all worked together to benefit our families, our God, our friends and our great nation. A time when immigration was for people who deserved it. A time when everyone worked to make a living and would be embarrassed to be part of the socialized “gimme type society” that we are slowly developing today. A time before the Obamas, Clintons and Bernie Sanders type politicians were promising us every benefit imaginable, just to get our vote. A time when people realized that to provide free “gimmes” our country would be taxed to death and our great Republic would fall to third world status, along with the Cubas, North Koreas and Venezuelas. A time when Americans realized the opportunities available, avoided the pitfalls and were inspired to study and work hard to improve themselves. A time when there were more Christian families, with both moms and dads in the homes, and children going to church, and actually reflecting the values of their parents — with children going to school and actually staying through graduation. A time of both fulfillment and discipline in the home. A time when children listened to both their parents and the policeman on the corner. A time when we had Washington politicians (and others) who really cared for our country and not just about their egos and the amount of money they could steal from the voters. A time when the voters were all citizens and not undocumented people allowed into our country to riot, and swing the vote for a specific party’s politicians. A time when all immigrants were properly vetted and not scaring us with rapes and murders. A time of maybe having less, but enjoying it more. HARRY I. BISHOP Sumter

n The Sumter Item’s Friday NOTABLE & QUOTABLE column, far-left New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, eschewing any pretense of balance and objectivity, brayed that he hoped “Hillary Clinton wins all 50 states and the Democrats take the presidency, the House, the Senate and, effectively, the Supreme Court. That is the best thing that could happen to America, at least for the next two years — that Donald Trump is not just defeated, but is crushed at the polls. That would have multiple advantages for our country.” Friedman goes on to helpfully suggest what our country needs is a “healthy center-right party that can compete with a healthy center-left party.”

In other words, Republicans should follow the example of today’s Democratic Party, which has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the far left in this country thanks to the tender mercies of the present occupant of the White House. It is far from being “center-left.” It’s more accurate to describe today’s Dems as left/left. There’s no “center” remaining in that political party. Ronald Reagan was the first Republican to seek the presidency as a committed yet practical conservative. The party during the Reagan years focused more on the hitherto core principles of the GOP. Under the Bushes it gravitated toward recreation as an establishment political party with a band of elites taking

charge of its fortunes and making it more of a Tweedle Dum to the Democrats’ Tweedle Dee. The left in this country for many years has been obsessed with redefining the Republican Party in such a way that it would become almost a carbon copy of the Democrats. However, the rise of Donald Trump has set in motion a transformation of the party into a band of brothers and sisters eager to participate in disturbing the uneasy peace of complacency and business as usual that threatens to make the GOP irrelevant. Nothing would please a blowhard busybody leftist pundit such as Thomas Friedman more than doing his fair share in making Republicans irrelevant.

Who will keep the U.S. safe? W ASHINGTON — Nice, France. Of all places. But of course a terrorist in love with death would choose one of the world’s most beautiful coastal cities to mow down innocents in a moment of celebration. There are no words. During the next few days, as Republicans convene in Cleveland to celebrate another sort of pagan ritual, we’ll hear the familiar words and refrains. Solidarity. We mourn with the Kathleen world. We pray for Parker the victims. We won’t let terrorists ruin our way of life or take away our freedom. Won’t we? A friend calls predawn from Cleveland: “What are we going to do? No one’s coming,” she says. Even before Nice, people were canceling. Seven hundred rooms for volunteers who were to double up — 1,400 people — had to be returned, she says. They’re not coming. None of the party’s previous presidents is attending. Trey Gowdy, one of the most respected members of the GOP House caucus, isn’t going. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the highest-ranking Republican woman in the House, is skipping it. Not even Tim Tebow is going. Tebow, who was part of the “winners” lineup Trump was trying to build for the convention, posted a video online saying it was just a rumor. Amid this disorganization came chaos in Nice. As America did after 9/11, French President Francois

Hollande has said, “We’re at war.” And who should lead this war in the American theater I think is the question before us this convention month. Democrats meet in Philadelphia the week after the GOP grapples with internal problems, not the least of which is a consortium of delegates who want no part of a Trump nomination. Overnight, however — with at least 84 dead in Nice, including two Americans, and more than 200 injured — the inner workings of a party at war with itself seem less compelling than the larger, existential battle we seem destined to fight. Thus, most people today are likely thinking: Who will keep us safe? The answer may seem obvious to Trump supporters and others leaning in his direction. He’s the one who promises to build a border and tighten immigration, monitor Muslims and limit their access to the U.S. He’s the one who will protect citizens’ right to bear arms without further limitations. You don’t need an AR-15 to mow down pedestrians along a promenade on Bastille Day, after all. But you might need one to stop the driver of the truck. Trump has also said he wouldn’t take nukes off the table should some country become excessively troublesome. He has sworn that he’s the most militaristic person in the world. These are musical notes to the rough and ready — those who are weary of what they view as the Obama administration’s weak leadership against the Islamic State. But President Obama has done his fair share of killing. He just doesn’t brag about it, in part because his use of drones isn’t very popular among the collateral population.

Does Trump give one a sense of security, or does his impulsive nature give one pause about his trustworthiness in a crisis? As for Hillary Clinton, Republicans would simply point to Benghazi and her lack of attention to repeated requests from Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens for heightened security, followed by the fiasco on the night he and three others were killed when the Obama administration seemed to be in disarray. They would also point to her conflicting reports about what happened that night, as well as to her “extreme carelessness” with classified documents. Are these enough to disqualify Clinton from the presidency? The question may not be “Who will keep us safe?” but “Who is least likely to make things worse?” The choice is not as simple as it may seem. Words and policies are only part of the equation. Temperament and character are paramount, as is wisdom based on experience. In the war on terror, our arsenal isn’t only bullets, bombs and drones. Fighting an idea requires greater skills than a sniper’s eye. You also have to counter the ideas that attract terrorists to an absurd and deadly cause with better ones. The slog we were warned against long ago is our reality for now and perhaps for generations. We’d best hire a commander-in-chief who also understands this — and who can rally the troops starting on Day One.

List of Christie allies tied to Port Authority schemes expands NEWARK, N.J. — A growing list of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's allies have pleaded guilty or have been charged in schemes involving their relationships at the powerful agency that runs airports, bridges and tunnels in New York and New Jersey, though Christie, a close ally of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, faces no accusations of wrongdoing. David Samson, a mentor to Christie who the Republican governor tapped as chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, pleaded guilty Thursday to using his position to pressure United Airlines to reinstate a flight from Newark to Columbia, South Carolina, to make it easier to get to his vacation home. Jamie Fox, a former lobbyist for United who Christie later named to a Cabinet post, was charged by federal prosecutors with soliciting the bribe. Fox's attorney says he will fight the charge. The news puts Christie's judgment center stage with Democrats calling it into question and Republicans defending him just as the party's convention in Cleveland is about to unfold next week and as the governor is set to deliver a speech there.

A longtime friend of Trump's, Christie is heading his White House transition team and is said to be on the businessman's short list of possible vice presidential picks. He is also a New Jersey delegate for Trump and is leading the delegation to Cleveland next week.

NOT CHARGED Samson was head of the Port Authority when two former allies of the governor were accused of shutting down lanes to the George Washington Bridge as part of a political retribution scheme. Neither Samson nor Christie was charged in that case. A third Christie appointee has pleaded guilty in that case, which is expected to go to trial in September. Christie denied any wrongdoing and was cleared by a taxpayer-funded legal inquiry. U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said there's no evidence he had anything to do with the bribery scheme Samson pleaded to. But the bridge scandal in particular put a cloud over Christie's political future. Democrats then and now have seized on both cases to criticize Christie. "It undermines the already eroded confidence the public has that government is being operated for their benefit," said New Jersey Assemblyman John Wisniewski, a Democrat who helped lead a committee that in-

He cited the fact that the governor appoints hundreds of people to positions in state government and blamed the media for unfairly concentrating on the scandal.

"There's nothing new here. There was an expectation that ultimately something was going to come down," he said.

WHAT'S THE LATEST? Samson admitted he conspired with Fox to pressure United to reinstate the "chairman's flight" to Columbia, not far from Samson's vacation home in Aiken, by removing from a board agenda discussion of a hangar that United wanted at Newark Liberty International Airport, Fishman said. Prosecutors will recommend that Samson get a sentence of probation to 24 months behind bars under a plea agreement.

Duel at Royal Troon

Stenson leads Mickelson by one stroke going into final round of British Open By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press TROON, Scotland — Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson delivered what everyone expects out of a major championship. They matched birdies and improbable par saves. Momentum could change with any shot. The lead changed four times over four hours of golf at its highest level, played in the cold wind and occasional rain off the Irish Sea. All the British Open lacked Saturday was a winner. Turns out this was only the preview to a duel at Royal Troon. Stenson took the lead for the last time with another twoshot swing on an inward par 3, and he kept it with a nifty upand-down on the 18th for par and a 3-under 68, the second straight day that no one had a better score. That gave the 40-year-old Swede his first lead in a major,

even if it was just one shot over someone who already has five majors and his name on the claret jug. “There’s only one thing that matters tomorrow,” Stenson said. “I know he’s not going to back down, and I’m certainly going to try to not back down, either. So it should be an exciting afternoon. ... I’ve worked hard these first three days to put myself in this situation and I’m going to try my hardest tomorrow to finish the job.” Links golf can deliver some strange finishes, though this had all the trappings of a twoman race on Sunday. Stenson had his third straight round in the 60s — no one has ever won at Royal Troon with all four rounds in the 60s — and was at 12-under 201. He is trying to become only the eighth player dating to Old Tom Morris in 1861 to win his first major after turning 40.

The fourth game of the bestof-5 second-round series between the Sumter P-15’s and Murrells Inlet Post 178 in the American Legion baseball state playoffs will be played today at 7 p.m. at the St. James High School Field in Myrtle Beach. The fourth game was originally scheduled for Friday at the Socastee High field, but was postponed CAMPBELL due to rain. With the Junior American Legion tournament scheduled to begin on Saturday at Socastee, MI had to find another site at which to play. Sumter found out on Saturday morning the game would be played at St. James. However, Post 15 athletic director Bill Lyons was told more rain overnight made the field unplayable on Saturday. With the game not being played until tonight, Murrells Inlet may have the services of brothers Finn and Devin Melko, who were out of town at a wedding and missed Thursday’s Game 3. Also, it gives Iam Bloom another day for an injury suffered in Wednesday’s Game 2 to heal. The P-15’s, who are 21-5 on the season, won the first two games of the series with lateinning rallies.

NASCAR great Lorenzen, battling dementia, pledges brain donation By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press LOUDON, N.H. — He was one of NASCAR’s first superstars, but Fred Lorenzen’s memories of his Hall of Fame career have dimmed as he battles dementia. His Daytona 500 victory, the wins he piled up to become NASCAR’s first $100,000 driver, his life on the road, all have been largely extinguished. Lorenzen still has flickering moLORENZEN ments when he remembers the days when he was NASCAR’s “Golden Boy” for his rugged, movie-star looks. Like in recent years, when he visits Chicago EARNHARDT Speedway, not far from his assisted living facility. “His face just lights up when he’s there,” said his daughter, Amanda Lorenzen Gardstrom. Nearly 45 years after his last Cup race, Lorenzen hoped he would still make his mark on the NASCAR community. Inspired by Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s decision to pledge his brain to the Concussion Legacy Foundation, Lorenzen became the second known driver to make the same decision. Gardstrom made it official Friday with a pledge to Legacy co-founder Chris Nowinski. As auto racing grapples with the issue of concussions and head

Jimmie Johnson, left, gets ready to climb into his car for Saturday’s final practice at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for today’s New Hampshire 301 in Loudon, N.H.

is one of the most significant on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule, and with good reason. Because the first race at the Magic Mile is so close to the Chase race at NHMS — barely more than two months apart — it’s fair to say that solving the 1.058mile flat track in today’s New Hampshire 301 will give teams a leg up on the second race in the Chase, come September. “The guys that are fast this time around will probably be fast next time around when we come back here,” Brad Keselowski said after Friday’s qualifying session. “That makes this weekend a pretty important weekend for us. You look at it in terms of car development, and Phoenix is probably on the opposite end. “You start in late February and come back in November and it seems like you have two completely different cars with the development your team has put into it. It isn’t always a good indicator of who is going to be fast.”

trauma, one of NASCAR’s pioneers is now alongside Earnhardt in the donation queue. “As a family, we decided we wanted to support Dale Junior and all work together toward a healthy future for these drivers,” she told The Associated Press. Earnhardt’s concussion history — he missed two races in 2012 — spurred his decision to pledge his brain to the Legacy, a group that works with Boston University on research into chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, a degenerative disease that doctors believe is caused by repeated blows to the head. Gardstrom is convinced the 81-year-old Lorenzen has CTE as a result from years of brutal wrecks and hits from the 1960s, one of the most dangerous eras in racing history. Lorenzen won the Daytona 500 in 1965. “He never stopped to heal,” she said. She wants to help, and

knows her father does, too, and advance the understanding of concussions and their treatment in NASCAR. “It’s the younger generation that we really need to educate,” she said. “They’re young, they’re hungry, but when they get in a wreck and get a concussion, they know if they don’t get back in the car, someone else is going to take it. We want to change the culture of the sport.” Earnhardt has become the face of concussion awareness in sports and will skip Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway because of concussion symptoms. There is no timetable on when NASCAR’s most popular driver might return. The 41-year-old Earnhardt had already intended to be an organ donor, so he said in April that giving up his brain made sense. Earnhardt said he was motivated by reading about three former Oakland Raiders who donated their brains in honor of teammate Ken Stabler. The quarterback’s brain showed signs of CTE.

Leon powers Red Sox past Yankees

The Associated Press

Boston’s Sandy Leon homered and had four RBI in a 5-2 win over the New York Yankees on Saturday in New York.

NEW YORK — Sandy Leon homered and drove in four runs, Eduardo Rodriguez again dominated the Yankees in his return from Triple-A and the Boston Red Sox beat New York 5-2 on Saturday to win their season-high sixth straight. Leon hit his second homer this season and the third of his career in the sixth inning — a three-run shot off CC Sabathia for a 5-1 lead. The Venezuelan has 13 RBIs in 20 games this season after getting eight in 75 games for his career prior to that. Leon also helped Rodriguez (2-3), his Venezuelan countryman, hold New York to a run on four hits over seven innings after the Red Sox recalled the left-hander Friday. Koji Uehara closed for his sixth save. Cubs 3 Rangers 1

CHICAGO — Anthony Rizzo’s two-run double helped spoil Yu Dar-

vish’s return to the Rangers as the Chicago Cubs beat Texas 3-1 on Saturday. In his first start since June 8 because of shoulder pain, Darvish (2-1) reached 98 mph and struck out nine while giving up two runs and two hits in 41/3 innings. The Japanese right-hander also walked four. Jason Hammel (8-5) struck out seven in six innings for the Cubs, who won their second straight in the interleague matchup of division leaders. Hector Rondon pitched a perfect ninth to complete the threehitter for his 15th save. MARINERS 1 ASTROS 0

SEATTLE — Hisashi Iwakuma limited Houston to two hits in seven innings, Robinson Cano provided the only scoring with a RBI single in the sixth and the Seattle Mariners beat the Astros 1-0. Iwakuma (10-6) won his fourth

OAKLAND, Calif. — Khris Davis homered twice, Ryon Healy hit his first career home run, and Sonny Gray snapped a 12-game winless streak as Oakland beat Toronto 5-4. Davis was 2 for 4 in his ninth career multi-homer game, three of which came this season. Orioles 2 Rays 1

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Chris Tillman (13-2) became the American League’s second 13-game winner, backed by J.J. Hardy’s two-run homer in the Baltimore Orioles’ 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. From wire reports

By GEORGE HENRY The Associated Press ATLANTA — The All-Star break did little to help the Atlanta Braves get their season turned around. “We had a guys on base, a hit away from getting back in it,” interim manager Brian Snitker said. “They always are. A couple of the fielding plays that led to those runs hurt more than anything. The grand slam in the ninth didn’t help either, obviously.” The Braves gave up four runs in the third inning and pinch-hitter Ryan Raburn capped a big offensive performance for the Colorado Rockies with a ninth-inning grand slam in Atlanta’s 11-2 loss on Friday night. After averaging 2.7 runs in its last seven road games at San Francisco and the Los Angeles Dodgers, Colorado took advantage of baseball’s worst team. Dropping to 13-35 at home and 31-59 overall, the Braves rank last in the majors in runs scored and homers. Atlanta’s sixth pitcher, Dario Alvarez, gave up Raburn’s fourth career slam.

Miami’s Ichiro Suzuki moved nine hits from 3,000 with a pinch-hit single against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday in St. Louis. step, but not much. Credit his commitment to an intense regimen that has long included an on-deck routine that features a deep warmup squat, then a one-of-a-kind stance and a sweeping twirl of his bat. Suzuki was 27 and had 1,278 hits in Japan before he came to the big leagues. Piniella got so excited after Suzuki’s two-hit debut in 2001 that he kissed him. “I was so happy for him, that’s why,” Piniella said. “It’s hard for a player to come here from Japan, especially with the scrutiny that he had. I’m an emotional guy. I got caught up in the moment. I gave him a hug and at the same time I

gave him a little peck. Look, I really enjoyed watching this young man play and I knew from seeing him in spring training that he was a special player.” At the time, Suzuki did not come cheaply. Seattle paid $13 million just to secure his rights, and signed him to a three-year, $14 million contract. The Mariners got their money’s worth and then some. The Mariners won an AL-record 116 games, but failed to reach the World Series, losing in five games of the AL Championship Series to the Yankees. Still, Suzuki won AL Rookie of the Year and MVP.

Braves return from All-Star break with another poor game

Still unsure exactly what to expect from the Japanese newcomer, Lou Piniella kept waiting for the rookie to pull a ball. Too many hits sprayed to left field, Sweet Lou thought, too easy for defenses to adjust. So the veteran Seattle manager summoned the translator and told him to deliver a message to Ichiro Suzuki: “I want to see some bat speed.” Piniella saw them huddle in the dugout and share a laugh. A couple of innings later, Suzuki led off with a home run into the bullpen in right-center. “He rounds the bases, he steps on home plate, and he says, ‘Happy now?’ when he shook my hand,” Piniella recalled. “I said, ‘Yeah, yeah, you can do whatever you want.”’ All these years later, with Suzuki on the verge of joining the 3,000-hit club in the big leagues, his first skipper in the majors is taking a lot of pride in watching the pursuit. As much as Piniella believed in Suzuki from the start and was in awe of those early accomplishments with the Mariners, he never would have guessed the outfielder would still be playing at age 42 and going for such a lofty perch. Suzuki hit .335 with a .412 on-base percentage in 164 at-bats over the first half with Miami. He reached 2,991 hits Friday night with a pinch single in the eighth inning of the Marlins’ 7-6 victory at St. Louis in the return from the All-Star break. Now gray-haired and no longer a regular in his 16th major league season, Suzuki might have lost a

straight start to become the first Seattle pitcher to reach double-digit wins. He struck out eight and walked one.

A victory Sunday would give him six majors, same as Nick Faldo and Lee Trevino. He also would be the third-oldest major champion behind Julius Boros (48) and Morris, with whom Mickelson shares a birthday — June 16, albeit 149 years apart. The 1861 Open was played in September.

Two holes later, Mickelson was in danger of losing the lead when he pushed his 2-iron toward trouble and was fortunate the ball deflected off a piece of prickly gorse. He had just enough room to hammer it up the fairway, and then played a shot rarely seen in links golf — instead of running it up along the ground, he spun it back down a ridge to 6 feet for a key par. “I got lucky that that ball didn’t go into the gorse, even though I didn’t have a back swing,” Mickelson said. “I still had a chance to advance it a little bit. I still hit a good shot to advance it down the fairway like I did, and found a way to get up and down.” Now, they have one more round, this time with a claret jug at stake.

Where’s the beef? Right on the British leaderboard By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press

TROON, Scotland — Where’s the beef at the British Open? Right there on the leaderboard. Andrew Johnston, a burly, bearded Englishman who answers to “Beef,” has become the fan favorite at Royal Troon with his brilliant shots and jovial demeanor over the first three rounds. This is a guy everyone seems to relate to. He sends the love right back. “I’m no different than anyone else,” Johnston said. “That’s how I see it. I’ll talk and chat to anyone. It really doesn’t bother me. I like meeting new people and I don’t care where they’re from and who they are — if they’re nice, I get on well with them and I’m going to make friends.” The 27-year-old from the north of London has made plenty of friends along the Scottish coastline, literally bouncing around the course to the cascading chants of “Beeeeeeef !” When a shot goes his way, he breaks into a huge grin. When a putt drops into the cup, his head bounces up and down in unison with the roaring fans. With a paunch that hangs noticeably over his beltline — OK, the guy likes to eat — he comes across as just one of the crowd. “At the end of the day,” he said, “I’m just a normal guy who happens to play golf.” He’s playing it well at Royal Troon, as one of only five players to break par all three days. Johnston shot a 1-under 70 Saturday

Bill Haas moved up to third place in the British Open, but he still remains six shots off the lead.

Haas finally among leaders at a major By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press TROON, Scotland — Even with six PGA Tour victories, Bill Haas knew his record in the majors was lacking. He had never contended. He never even had a top 10. Haas finally put together three solid rounds at Royal Troon, including a 2-under 69 on Saturday, and was in third place going into the final round of the British Open. Just his luck, he picked a major where Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson have turned it into a two-man race. Stenson had a one-shot lead over Mickelson, with a five-shot gap until Haas. His consolation going into the final round was that he only had one player between him and the lead, even if that one player already has five majors. “Maybe not,” Haas said. “You see your name on the board close to the leaders and there’s only a few guys that could fall backward, and you certainly can’t expect Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson to fall backward.” That was out of his hands. He thought more about the golf he has played over three rounds — at least four birdies a day, no big numbers that have derailed the likes of U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler and so many others. Haas certainly has the game for majors. His six victories include East Lake (where he won the FedEx Cup in 2011), Congressional and Riviera. For whatever reason, he hasn’t been able to put it together during the four weeks of the year when careers are measured. “I certainly haven’t competed as much as I’d like in majors,” he said. “I’ve played in my fair share of them, but certainly not 20 years’ worth. I’ve played it enough where I think I could have done better than I have in these tournaments. I typically don’t feel like I put more pressure on myself. It’s just it’s the toughest test of golf that we play, and it’s beaten me more than I’ve beat it.” His best approach to Sunday is to play the course as he finds it and see where how it shakes out.

Hall of Famer Thurmond dies By PAUL ELIAS Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Former NBA great Nate Thurmond, a tenacious defensive center who played with Wilt Chamberlain and was an iconic sports figure in two cities, died Saturday at 74 after a short battle with leukemia. The Golden State Warriors announced the death of one of the team’s most iconic players less than a month after they lost the NBA finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers in seven games. Both franchises previously retired the Akron, Ohio native’s No. 42 and he is an iconic figure in both cities. Thurmond played 11 of his 14 seasons with the Warriors File/The Associated Press and retired after the 1976-1977 In this 1973 photo, Nate Thurmond of the Golden State Warriors (42) season, one year after leading is closely defended by the Milwaukee Bucks’ Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. the “Miracle” Cavaliers to an Thurmond, a Hall of Fame center, died on Saturday. improbable trip to the NBA fi-

nals. “Without a doubt, he is one of the most beloved figures to ever wear a Warriors uniform,” Golden State owner Joe Lacob said. Current Cavalier and Akron native LeBron James said on Twitter: “Knowing u played in the same rec league as me growing up gave me hope of making it out! Thanks!” The 6-foot, 11-inch Thurmond was voted as one of the best 50 players in NBA history and is considered among the most-dominating centers in the game. Thurmond’s play and numbers weren’t flashy, but he earned the respect of his peers and knowledgeable basketball fans for his consistency, defense and strength. “Looking back, he was as ferocious as any player in the history of the game on the

court, but one of the kindest and nicest souls in his everyday life,” said former teammate Al Attles. He recorded the first official quadruple double in NBA history as a Chicago Bull when he had 22 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists and 12 blocked shots against the Atlanta Hawks in 1974. He is one of only four players to grab more than 40 rebounds in a game. The Warriors drafted Thurmond with the third overall pick in the 1963 draft after he graduated from Bowling Green State near Toledo. Thurmond apprenticed under Hall of Fame center Wilt Chamberlain until the Warriors traded Chamberlain to the Philadelphia 76ers in the middle of the 1964-65 season. Thurmond went on to average 15 points and 15 rebounds a game during his career.

Dr. Bambi Gaddist, founder of the S.C. HIV/AIDS Council, has been an HIV/AIDS educator since the mid-1980s, shortly after the disease was first identified. She’ll be on the panel at Saturday’s HIV/AIDS awareness event hosted by Palmetto Health Tuomey.

likely been a while, and that was the impetus, Michelle Logan-Owens said, for the upcoming HIV Awareness Event. Logan-Owens is the chief operating officer of Palmetto Health Tuomey, which is sponsoring the July 23 event with several other local organizations. “In the four decades since HIV/AIDs was first recognized, a number of other LOGAN-OWENS communicable illnesses have taken center stage, ranging from Superbugs to ebola to Zika,” she said. “As a result, there has been less focus on public awareness of the ongoing spread of HIV/

AIDS in our communities. As a provider of healthcare services, we have a broader role to play in this battle. Beyond healing, we must also be educators.” In conjunction with the University of South Carolina Sumter, the local Department of Health and Environmental Control, the Sumter Family Health Center, the S.C.

The film explores the health risks and the social stigma of living in rural S.C. with HIV. “Wilhemina’s War” will be shown during Saturday’s HIV awareness event at USC Sumter’s Nettles Auditorium, and Dixon’s granddaughter, living with HIV, will be on a Q&A panel. those who have been affected in some way by HIV/AIDS. Logan-Owens said she was prompted to coordinate the event by a conversation with Vikki Laurence Palmer of Palmer Memorial Chapel. “She wanted me to give a talk on some aspect of health to a small audience at the chapel, and I said let’s take it a bit further,” Logan-Owens said. “We have been thrilled with the level of cooperation we’re getting from agencies all over. They also want people to know your community is here to support you.”

Palmetto Health Tuomey staff members Cassandra Goodman, also with Women on a Move, and Traci Quinn, both members of Logan-Owens’ team for the event, will be present to assist with various activities. Quinn, manager of Palmetto Health Tuomey’s Marketing and Communications, noted that already nine or 10 businesses and organizations have signed up to have booths. The Big DM, 101.3 FM, will broadcast live from the event, and there will be snacks and door prizes. The short film “Wilhemina’s

War,” about “an uneducated daughter of S.C. sharecroppers who becomes a force in her family’s fight for survival against HIV and AIDS,” will be shown, as well. The main focus of the awareness event is to disseminate information, and Logan-Owens has statistics to back up the need for a program like this. About 44,000 new cases are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, she said, and over half of those are in the South. South Carolina is 13th in the nation

Trees destroyed in storm turned into furniture BY SOLVEJ SCHOU The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Furniture designer Harold Greene grew up making toys out of reclaimed scraps of wood in his Southern California neighborhood. So when a windstorm pummeled Los Angeles County on Nov. 30, 2011, destroying thousands of trees, he and nine other members of the L.A.-based Box Collective, a group of environmentally conscious furniture makers and designers, did what came naturally. They set about collecting wood from the fallen trees to make furniture and art. Their efforts, including the 63-year-old Greene's poolside-perfect, streamlined "Chaise Lounge," have been gathered in the "Windfall" exhibit at the Craft and Folk Art Museum here. The show, which opened in late May and runs until Sept. 4, features an array of works, from benches and end tables to bowls. "This exhibit is important because it's dedicated to sustainable materials and educating the public about what

is possible with trees growing in front of their place, in their own front yard," said Greene, a one-time firefighter who has designed and built furniture full-time since 1979. When the 2011 windstorm swept through the West, it caused an estimated $34 million in damage and hit northeastern Los Angeles County especially hard. Uprooted trees and tangled branches crushed homes and cars. The community of Arcadia alone lost roughly 2,000 trees, including hundreds at its Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden. The wood for Greene's "Chaise Lounge" — a beige cedar that he cut into thin strips, which he laminated and layered on a curved form — came from trees destroyed at the Arboretum. "This storm was a literal windfall of material for us if we could find a way to capture it before it was thrown away, which is the fate of most, if not all, of the wood from the urban forest," said furniture designer Cliff Spencer, 43, who recently moved from Los Angeles

Furniture made out of trees destroyed in an overnight Nov. 30, 2011, windstorm in Los Angeles County are part of the exhibit “Windfall” at the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles. back to Birmingham, Alabama, where he grew up doing woodwork. Using paulownia wood from the Arboretum, Spencer created three pieces for the exhibit, including a beehive. His "Sound Diffuser for a Noisy City" consists of small pieces of wood and boxes layered into a large, square sound-diffusion board, covered with colorful doodles. His "Red Yellow Blue Wood" panel is a medley of geomet-

ric shapes. "You're making use of a resource that was otherwise overlooked ... so it feels good not to just create more waste," Spencer said. For beginners wanting to make furniture out of sustainable wood, both Spencer and Greene suggested working with someone who is already doing it. Greene recommended finding a community college class taught by furniture makers and local wood at woodworking stores.

If there's a fallen tree you want to use, you have to mill it. Milling is the process of cutting wood into thicknesses of different dimensions, making it easier to work with. And you can't rush it. The wood has to dry one year for every inch of thickness that you cut, Greene said. Once it's dry, test the moisture level. Wood that isn't dry enough will shrink and move after you make something with it.

Man is miffed when woman is older than she advertised DEAR ABBY — I am a 58-year-old man who has been meeting women online for a few years. I recently met "Molly," whose profile said she was 60. We dated several times, and then she Dear Abby spent a few days at ABIGAIL my house. Certain things she said made VAN BUREN me suspect she was older. So I looked her name up online and found out she was seven years older than she had advertised. I consider lying on a dating profile to be similar to lying on a job application. When she asked me when she could come over again, I nicely said I couldn't consider a long-term relationship with someone her age. So what's the penalty for putting false info on a dating profile?

Grounds for dismissal, like with a job? Wants someone my own age DEAR WANTS — Dating sites are a form of advertising, and as with "buying" any product, the rule is caveat emptor — let the buyer beware. Many women — and men — fudge the truth on dating sites when stating their height, weight, age and income. (There's a saying in journalism: If your mother says she loves you, check it out.) Not everyone ages at the same rate. Some people are "old" at 45. Others are healthy, vital and energetic at 70. Molly was able to pass for younger than her chronological age. If the number is that important to you, it's your right to move on. But being rigid about age could let a good person slip by. Everyone puts their best foot forward. Get used to it.

gery in Seattle, where my son and his wife live, 2,000 miles from my home. After the surgery, I must stay in town for 10 days until my post-op appointment. Then I'll be given the green light to travel home. During that period, my son will be working overseas, and his wife plans to join him. Because their condo will be empty, I asked if my husband and I could stay there during my recovery. My son informed us that while we are welcome to stay there when they're in town, we are not welcome when they aren't. My son would never do this to us; I know it came from his wife. I also know that if the request were from HER mother, she'd be welcome in a heartbeat. I have been nothing but generous and supportive of them. We aren't slobs and would care for the place as if it were our own. I just don't understand. How do I react? What can I say? My son's wife has isolated him

from some of his friends, too. Aching in Alaska DEAR ACHING —Your disappointment is understandable, but the way to react is to tell your son that you are disappointed and you will make other arrangements for a place to recuperate. I don't think it would be helpful right now to point out that his wife has isolated him from his friends and appears to be doing the same with his mother and dad. He will figure that out for himself in time, if he doesn't already know. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Sumter Chicks defeat

House DAVID of

baseball team

umter’s first encounter with a group of heavily

bearded men was in April 1934 when they stopped in Sumter for a short time while on their way home from playing baseball in Florida. These visitors “presented a curious and striking spectacle and attracted a great deal of attention on the streets.” According to Wikipedia, the online user-sourced encyclopedia, The Israelite House of David, a religious organization often referred to as The House of David, was co-founded by Benjamin and Mary Purnell of Benton Sammy Way Harbor, MichReflections igan, in March of 1903. The House leader was a sports enthusiast, and members were encouraged to play “competitive” baseball, and by 1915 their teams were playing a grueling schedule against some of the best semi-pro and amateur teams in the country. The purpose of the games was to raise money to support their organization. According to Wikipedia, “By the late 1920s, needing more skilled players, the House began hiring professionals, the most notable being Grover Cleveland Alexander, Satchel Paige and Mordecai Brown. Some professional players grew their beards to show respect toward the God of Israel, while others wore false beards. They were known for their skill and played against some of the greatest teams in the country. The House of David played against Major League, Minor League, Independent and Negro League teams. ... The House of David teams were famous for inventing ‘pepper’ baseball tricks, along the lines of the fancy basketball moves of the Harlem Globetrotters.” According to research, the House of David Baseball program remained in existence from 1917 to 1955, winning approximately 70 percent of their games. The following article is an account of the first semi-professional baseball game played by the House of David against the Sumter Chicks in 1949. The story is being reprinted here, with some editing for length and clarity. “In 1948 Sumter entered the tri-state baseball league sponsoring a team known as the Chicks. This name was selected by the board of directors at an organizational meeting held in the Coca-Cola community room. The winning name was submitted by four fans. However, L.M. Lyons got his entry in first and received a

In one of their preseason contests, the Chicks were scheduled to play the famous House of David semi-pro baseball team. “This organization originated from The House of David religious cult and drew large crowds wherever it appeared. Eating meat, fish, fowl or lard,” and cutting their whiskers or hair was against their religious belief. Sumter fans were informed that the House of David team consisted of outstanding baseball players; “in fact, all of them had considerable experience in organized baseball. Some of the players on the team were: • Bob Baren, outfielder and pitcher, played a number of years with the St. Louis Cardinals farm system. He is a power hitter. • Jim Granneman, second baseman, joined the House of David team last year. He has

had several years of O.B. experience together with three years of service team play. Long and lanky, he covers a lot of ground. • Tim Henville, husky catcher, played pro ball for 10 years, except during the war. • Jean Smith, a new member of the pitching staff, was with Hollywood of the Pacific Coast league last year. He is a fastball pitcher with a baffling change of pace. • Bill Deneke, centerfielder, is a native of Buffalo, New York. He played pro ball for Erie for one year but has had several years on fast semi-pro teams. He is fast and covers much ground. • John Scully, veteran pitcher, has been with the team off and on for 11 years. • Cliff Serbin, recent addition, has been one of the leading semi-pro pitchers in the New York area for a number of years. • Bill Meyor is back for his second straight year. He played

Jean Smith, pitcher, House of David

in many minor leagues and is considered one of the best. • Mike Janesko, veteran pitcher, has been with the club since 1928 and is now one of the oldest active players in the game. Over Janesko’s two decades of service with the club he compiled an imposing winning record, the highlights of which are the two victories he scored for the team over major league clubs in the spring of 1934. He shut out the St. Louis Browns at West Palm Beach, Florida, with two hits by the score of 1-0 and was the winning pitcher in a game in which the bearded club defeated the Philadelphia Athletics 10-7 at Fort Myers, Florida. He is a cagey twirler with a puzzling delivery and excellent control, and batters find his slow curves and floaters difficult to hit squarely, although he does not have much speed on his pitches. He will be with the House of David when the team meets the Sumter Chicks.

“The whiskered boys have molded into a team which defeated some of the best major league teams it faced.”

The Chicks Defeat The House of David The Sumter Chicks were victorious against the House of David by the score of 10-6. The Sumter team was led by its shortstop Frank Lanzetti, who went 5 for 5 including a double and a triple and scored two runs. The House of David had two players who played well against the Sumter squad, including Raab, who went three for five and scored two runs, and Maren, who was perfect at the plate going three for three.

PANORAMA

HIV FROM PAGE C1 in cases. “Sumter is seventh in our state,” she said. “It’s important that we get the word out that HIV is still relevant, and also to the most affected age group, 20 to 29,” she said. She’s also concerned for the 13-to-19 age group, who are becoming sexually active, often with older individuals. These groups may be unaware of HIV, Logan-Owens said, because they weren’t around when HIV/AIDS was almost always seen as a “death sentence.” She said people see celebrities such as basketball great Magic Johnson and Olympic gold medal diver Greg Louganis, both of whom are HIV positive, but healthy, years after they were infected, and they get the idea that HIV/AIDS is curable. “It’s not curable,” Logan-Owens said, “and one in eight persons who are living with HIV don’t even know they have it. If you go untreated, you can perpetuate the spread, and the longer you go without treatment, the more likely you are to develop AIDS.” The largest group living with HIV and AIDS is above 50. “So HIV is no longer necessarily a death sentence, but we’ve got to have our focus on prevention,” Logan-Owens said. If infected, there’s “The cost, the side effects of the medications — and this is for life — the management of the regimen. “We don’t want to just live because medications will extend life, we want to live well.” “Knowledge is power,” said Palmer, director of marketing and communications for Palmer Memorial Chapel. “The statistics are alarming, and we sup-

port this war against HIV that is attacking our beloved community. PMC has been celebrating life since 1933; it is an honor to support Palmetto Health Tuomey in getting this crucial message out … with a compassionate voice.” The HIV awareness event is “Not about passing judgment, it’s about awareness,” LoganOwens said. “This is really about offering information to parents, grandparents and others, too, so they can help their children understand so young people can protect themselves. “It’s an opportunity to learn, not just for people who have HIV.” “HIV has no prejudices. It attacks anyone, no matter male, female or race,” said committee member Tonya Bozeman, an HIV/Infectious Disease nurse at the Sumter Family Health Center. “That is why it is so very important that everyone know their HIV status.” Logan-Owens added that Saturday’s event will not be the last of its kind for Palmetto Health Tuomey. “This is our effort to be able to engage with our community and to give back,” she said. “We can’t sit back and wait for people to come to us for health care. We’ve got to get out and be proactive in promoting health and wellness, and so this is a new push that we have moving forward ... to engage with our community in a way we never have before.” Logan-Owens emphasized that “this is just one event. We’re participating in Feed My Starving Children, and we’ve chosen to ‘adopt’ Lemira School — we’re going to be a part of that mentoring program. We’re moving out into our community and really engaging with them.”

YESTERYEAR FROM PAGE C1 barbecue supper prepared by Yank Blanding was served. Mayor Creech presided over the meeting and discussed the progress made during the year and the value of Shaw Field to Sumter and other additions which had been made. • The United States flag was raised on the flagpole at the administration building at Shaw Field shortly after noon this afternoon. The flag pole has just been completed, and the flag was raised for the first time. Several companies of soldiers stood at attention while Old Glory was raised aloft.

Degenhardt cruised to his overwhelming victory with a 74 during the first 18-hole round, then followed with a 35 to close out Dix in 27 holes. • Bobby Richardson sends his thanks to the citizens of Sumter on his retirement from professional baseball. “My family and I would like to express our appreciation to the folks of Sumter for the many kind thoughts and prayers and the lovely gifts presented to us on September 17th—both personal and for the YMCA and Brookland Plantation. We were overwhelmed at your generosity and at first a little embarrassed, but then we were just thankful. Thankful for a gift we didn’t deserve, most of all for the many true friends at home.” • The new president of the USC Alumni Association is Dr. Hugh T. Stoddard, superintendent of Sumter County School District No. 2. He will take office Jan. 1, 1967. Stoddard has been superintendent of county schools since 1952. He came to Sumter in 1930 following graduation from the University, where he lettered for three years in football, three in baseball and one in basketball. Stoddard won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy his senior year in the old Southern Conference. • Carnegie’s Public Library’s Board of Trustees are hopeful construction bids can be received in November and a contract awarded within 60 days for Sumter’s new $400,000 library.

The South Carolina HIV/AIDS Council’s van will be at USC Sumter’s Nettles Auditorium on Saturday to provide free testing. Free testing will also be available for cholesterol, diabetes and other conditions.

‘THIS IS WAR’

WHAT IS HIV/AIDS?

The free HIV awareness program, “This Is War,” will include: • a screening of “Wilhemina’s War.” Shot over the course of five years, the film bears witness to the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of tremendous adversity. • Q&A panel discussion with Dayshal Dix, a young HIV-positive woman featured in “Wilhemina’s War”; health care officials; an infectious disease physician; a parent who lost a child to AIDS; a member of Positive Voices; Dr. Bambi Gaddist, founder of the South Carolina HIV/AIDS Council; and others living with HIV. • free testing for HIV, STDs, high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes and prostate cancer. A $10 gift card will be given to each person tested for HIV • educational materials and information • snacks and door prizes

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. If left untreated, HIV can lead to the disease AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). Unlike some other viruses, the human body can’t get rid of HIV completely. So once you have HIV, you have it for life. HIV attacks the body’s immune system, specifically the CD4 cells (T cells), which help the immune system fight off infections. If left untreated, HIV reduces the number of CD4 cells (T cells) in the body, making the person more likely to get infections or infection-related cancers. Over time, HIV can destroy so many of these cells that the body can’t fight off infections and disease. These opportunistic infections or cancers take advantage of a very weak immune system and signal that the person has AIDS, the last stage of HIV infection. No effective cure currently exists.

ing game on Friday. The Lincoln Bulldogs will play Roberts High of Holly Hill in a Homecoming Classic at Memorial Stadium. The homecoming parade will begin promptly at 7 p.m. with class queens and their attendants taking the lead. Gwendolyn Blackwell will be crowned Miss Homecoming. She will be attended by Diane Parr and Barbara Williams. Reigning as Miss Lincoln will be Linda Dicks, attended by Susan Kingwood and Lena Canty. • City Councilman James D. Harrelson wanted to know at yesterday’s meeting what was being done about the proposed widening of Sumter Street, approved in a bond issue six years ago. The street would be widened, according to earlier plans, from Calhoun Street to Dingle Street. Preliminary plans are now in the works, City Manager Wade S. Kolb told Harrelson. The city was also waiting on the sale of property at the southeast corner of Liberty and Sumter so that funds would be available for the right of way. • Warwick Estates, a residential subdivision to be developed by Dr. Herman G. Rubin, received final approval yesterday from the Sumter County Planning Board. The proposed subdivision will be located on Kingsbury Road in the county’s southwest area. The overall plat for Warwick Estates includes 160 lots, but it is believed the project will be developed in several phases. • Plans are moving forward rapidly for the new $350,000 Cherryvale Elementary School to be constructed across from Shaw AFB on Furman Drive. Dr. Hugh T. Stoddard, superintendent of Sumter County School District No. 2, said the board hopes to receive bids for the school from contractors within the next 60 days. The 18-classroom building will have a cafetorium and related facilities. There will be between 27,000 and 28,000 square feet of floor space in the new structure. • It was a sad homecoming for Mullins High as they were defeated by the Mighty Manning Monarchs 30-0 en route to winning their 6th straight win. The fast Manning backs ran behind a strong offensive line and chalked up a total of 373 yards and five touchdowns. Esau Dennis scored three, and Donald McCord and Gene Graham each scored one. • With two minutes remaining in the game, Mayewood fullback Alfred Huggins carried would-be tacklers for a 23-yard ride into the end zone to lead the undefeated Rebels by the winless East Clarendon 14-7 here Friday night. Huggins, along with David Green and Warren Jones, chewed up yardage all night but until the final minutes were not able to score the winning touchdown on the EC Wolverines.

25 YEARS AGO — 1991 July 11-17 Lee County Council voted to spend up to $30,000 to get a bond rating so

the county can get more favorable interest rates on future loans for such projects as renovation of the Lee Correctional Center. Unlike many counties and municipalities in the state, Lee is not rated, County Administrator Barry Hickman said. “There’s a lot of hoops to jump through,” he said. Rating services, such as Standard & Poor Corp. and Moody’s Investors Service, evaluate the financial stability of a local government and issue one of several ratings that reflect that stability. • There is no classic architecture stone lion perched at the entrance, and local codes enforcement officials say it might have to go within two months. But officials at the Sumter County Library are nonetheless excited about the library’s new branch, which is scheduled to open next week. Beginning Monday, the branch is set to operate out of an old bookmobile parked at the Market Place shopping center at Wesmark Boulevard and Alice Drive. • Sumter P-15’s coach Wallie Jones said it might have been poetic justice. Whatever it was, Sumter now finds itself in a dogfight with Orangeburg Post 4 in the first round of the American Legion state playoffs. • Almost 5 percent of the state’s high school seniors failed their exit exam, according to a report to the state Board of Education. The report states that 1,076 seniors, or 4.9 percent of the 1991 senior class, did not pass the South Carolina High School Exit Examination. Most of the seniors who failed were taking the exam for the fourth time during the spring semester, the report said. • In a move that angered and dismayed spectators, an ailing Sumter School District 2 trustee joined four colleagues and voted to fire Superintendent Elijah McCants – less than two hours after a deadlocked vote to reinstate him. Deputy Superintendent Joe Lefft will continue to serve as interim superintendent until a new superintendent is selected by the board. • Not much went right for the Sumter P-15’s as they dropped a 10-7 decision to Orangeburg at Riley Park. The win gave the League IV runnersup a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five American Legion first-round state playoff series. • Learning how to “choose snacks that score” was the order of the day for 45 children at the Sumter County Library. Deloris Keller, a county agent for the Clemson Extension Service and a home economist, discussed ways for the children to choose and make nutritious, easy snacks. • A Lee County resident is suing the county and a manufacturer in an effort to prevent a pet food ingredient plant from being built on property he alleges was zoned illegally. Franklin Cooper filed the suit against Lee and Protein National, citing fears that the plant would lower surrounding property values, create undesirable living conditions and present health and en-

vironmental risks. • Most citizens in the multi-county area are thinking about ice cream, air conditioning and iced tea during these hot muggy days of July. Little attention is being paid to the upcoming dove season which is only seven weeks away. However, current proposed changes by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could have a dramatic effect on this popular sport. There is a change now under way that will affect hunters and landowners who prepare fields for dove hunting. Beginning this year, any top sown wheat is illegal for dove hunting according to federal agents, but state agents are in disagreement and therefore will not enforce top sowing of wheat for doves as being illegal. • The Lakewood Links Classic, a professional golf tournament on the T. Jordan Tour, will be played at the Links at Lakewood Country Club. It may not be the PGA Tour, but the 72hole tournament will have some excellent golfers in the field, according to Gary Brammer, the general manager of the Links at Lakewood. • Vic Boykin plays at least one important role every time he reports to Riley Park. That’s when he isn’t playing two important roles. The American Legion P-15’s no. 2 starter, he often finds himself forced to hold the opposition in check while filling the role of run-producer. He’s excelled in both roles this season. • The first half of the 1991 racing season at Sumter Speedway was a good one for Gerald Mintz. Not a great one, but a good one. “We won three races at Sumter and finished second seven or eight times,” said Mintz, who races in the Super Stock class. “We expect a whole lot more from the rest of the year.” The reasons for the optimism in the second half of the year are numerous. One reason is Mintz admits he is finally getting used to his 1990 Buick Regal. • Union Camp Corp.’s new plant in the Sumter Industrial Park is an “example to the paper-converting industry,” according to Plant Manager Chris Caison. The sleek, $25 million facility, complete with automated equipment and computers, just opened in May, and company officials are already talking about expansion. • Sumter Police Lt. Dale Atkinson is the S.C. American Legion’s top cop of the year. Atkinson, 36, was named the South Carolina American Legion’s Outstanding Law Enforcement Officer of the Year at the Legion’s annual convention. He was nominated by Sumter American Legion Post 15. • The Sumter American 11-12 All Stars defeated Kershaw East 9-3 at the first round of the district tournament in Hartsville. Daniel Carraway was the winning pitcher, and Michael Moseley hit a solo home run for Sumter. Reach Sumter Item Archivist Sammy Way at waysammy@yahoo.com or (803) 774-1294.

Bereavement fares gone from most U.S. airlines BY DAVID KOENIG AP Airlines Writer DALLAS — Airlines used to give discounts to passengers who were traveling to a relative’s funeral, but those days are just about gone. Now buying a ticket to attend a funeral or visit a relative in the hospital is no different than last-minute travel plans for any other reason. Among the largest U.S. airlines, only Delta Air Lines and Alaska Airlines still offer socalled bereavement fares. Those tickets, however, come with a big caveat. “They are a very small discount off the walk-up fare” — a costly unrestricted ticket, said George Hobica, founder of the airfarewatchdog.com site. “Even if you can find one, they are not any cheaper.” A spokesman said Virgin America offers 40 percent off, but the policy is not listed on the website of the smaller carrier, which flies to only 21 U.S. airports. Whether you can find a bereavement fare to match your trip, experts have a few tips. • Pick the airline that is most flexible about changing the ticket in case that becomes necessary. • While more difficult to do in an emergency, be as flexible as possible with time of day, alternative airports and other flight details. • Packages that bundle flights with a hotel room are often cheaper. • It’s obvious, but don’t forget to check airlines and faretracking websites and Twitter accounts; you might luck into a last-minute deal. • Cash in your frequent-flier miles or points, although that is harder during busy travel periods such as summer. Bereavement fares were once common, even a part of the pop culture. An episode of the 1990s TV show “Seinfeld” featured a character who tried to cheat an airline for a 50 percent bereavement discount — he failed. Airlines think people were scamming the system, and the special fares complicated the jobs of reservations agents. Grieving travelers were put off by the need for documentation such as a death certificate. But the biggest cause of the bereavement fare’s demise may be the growth of low-fare carriers. “As low-fare carriers came into more markets, those bereavement fares ended up being higher than you could get elsewhere. It just angered people,” said Brett Snyder, who runs a concierge booking service and writes the crankyflier.com blog. American Airlines and United Airlines ended bereavement fares in 2014. Southwest Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Spirit Airlines and Allegiant Air don’t offer them. Bereavement tickets aren’t dead yet, though. Snyder said one of his customers recently used one on Delta. Bereavement fares might not be the cheapest, but they usually offer more flexibility to alter plans without a change fee — changing a cheaper, restricted ticket to visit family longer can mean an extra fee of up to $200. Delta points out that consumers might find lower promotional fares on the airline’s website or by calling the reservations center. Delta does offer more schedule flexibility for the return flight by waiving service fees, but the customer must pay the difference if he or she changes to a higherpriced flight. The policy covers a funeral or visiting a relative near death.

Keith Charpentier displays the new marketing tools he uses for his mosquito abatement business.

The Mosquito Swat Team Charpy’s adds mosquito abatement to line of services BY RICK CARPENTER rick@theitem.com

hen Keith Charpentier saw an oppor-

tunity to expand his Charpy’s Pool business, he didn’t swat away the idea.

After all, serving a strong customer base of more than 4,000 pool owners who already trust his employees to visit their backyards provided a natural clientele to fight the most dreaded summer pest: the mosquito. A 1,000-year flood with a media frenzy about the Zika virus provided Charpy the opportune breeding ground to launch “The Mosquito Swat Team.” Charpentier became known as “Charpy” during high school when friends used the nickname to shorten his surname. Charpy said as an entrepreneur he looks for ways to diversify his business. That started in 1988, when as a Sumter firefighter he began cleaning, servicing and maintaining pools on his days off. Three years later, with the pool service business awash with customers, Charpy launched out on his own. He had never planned to offer retail products, but when a pool company lost

What started as a part-time job cleaning and maintaining pools morphed into a full-service pool company that has recently added mosquito abatement to its menu of services for customers. its owner and the former staff became available, he hired some of the employees, opened a retail store and eventually went into pool construction. As he looked into complementary businesses, he seriously considered the home yard and landscape business but determined it too labor intensive and tedious to add to the pool business. After researching mosquito abatement and obtaining a license through the Clemson University extension service, Charpy realized he could expand into the business by purchasing some equipment and train-

MOSQUITO FUN FACTS • Only female mosquitoes bite humans and animals; males feed on flower nectar; • A mosquito can drink as much as three times its weight in blood; • Mosquitoes fly at speeds between 1 and 1.5 miles per hour; • All mosquitoes require water to breed. Some species can breed in puddles left after a rainstorm; • An adult mosquito may live five to six months; • Mosquitoes find hosts by sight (they observe movement); by detecting infrared radiation emitted by warm bodies; and by chemical signals (mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide and lactic acid, among other chemicals) at distances of 25 to 35 meters; and • Mosquitoes hibernate. They are cold-blooded and prefer temperatures higher than 80 degrees. At temperatures lower than 50 degrees, they shut down for the winter. The adult females of some species find holes where they wait for warmer weather, while others lay their eggs in freezing water and die. The eggs keep until the temperatures rise, and they can hatch. — The Mosquito Swat Team site, www.mosquitocontrolst.com

ing his staff. Charpy said the chemical used in the service takes about a half hour to dry, depending on the humidity. His staff warns customers when they plan to apply the chemicals so they can remove pets and children from the area until it dries. Once serviced, a yard should remain mosquito free for as long as 21 days. His staff starts by going to homes and searching for likely breeding grounds, obtains samples in stagnant water and determines how to interrupt their growth cycle. Charpy learned that mosquitoes can breed in areas as small as a tablespoon of stagnant water. His staff takes samples of larger areas to determine the amount of pesticide to use to stop their metamorphosis. They use granular products in stagnant water such as ditches. Charpy recalled the mosquito explosion created by Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and wondered whether the October 2015 flood would create a similar effect. He said the Sumter County Vector Control program of spraying areas may have reduced the influx of mosquitoes this year because the anticipated explosion hasn’t ignited. Yet. But homeowners are par-

ticularly worried about the spread of the Zika virus, he said. With virtually a yearround mosquito season — mosquitoes hibernate at 50 degrees, but the suckers come back wide awake on warm winter days — Sumter area residents need to maintain a vigilant watch for them. Charpy said mosquitoes prefer cool, dark places such as the underside of plants and porches. While they spray the underside of foliage, they respect personal produce and fruit gardens and flowering plants as they remain mindful of other insects such as bees that also feed on nectar. Ditto for avoiding bird baths, fish ponds and, of course, swimming pools, which if treated regularly don’t need mosquito abatement. The Mosquito Swat Team charges by the square foot of yards they service. The team charges $65 for a half acre or less and $125 for a full acre. In its first year, the mosquito portion of Charpy’s business makes up less than 5 percent of his total operation. But that’s how his pool service business started. And who knows when the next hurricane or virus will hit the area? He won’t swat away another chance to grow his business.

A sportsman’s treasure chest

BY S.C. DNR

Measurements taken by South Carolina Department of Natural Resources show that the number of deer qualifying for state record lists is growing. Read the full article at theitem.com.

State deer antler records showing improvement FROM STAFF REPORTS The most recent round of white-tailed deer antler measuring conducted by S.C. Department of Natural Resources revealed 217 new records, including one Boone and Crockett qualifier, according to a news release from the agency. Each spring SCDNR Wildlife Section personnel make an effort to measure deer racks throughout the state, with a major session during the Palmetto Sportsmen’s Classic in Columbia. Of the 494 sets of antlers measured this spring, 217 met the minimum score for entry on the state records list including 203 sets of typical and 14 non-typical racks, according to Charles Ruth, Deer/Wild Turkey Program coordinator for DNR. This figure was up substantially compared to the 176 records entered in spring 2015. Although all of the records were not taken during the 2015 deer sea-

son, 189 were taken during the 2014 or 2015 season. Racks must score a minimum of 125 points typical or 145 points non-typical to qualify for the South Carolina state records list. Records are based on the Boone and Crockett Club scoring system. The top typical buck was a 167 5⁄8-inch buck taken by David Swaney in Anderson County in December. Swaney’s buck qualifies for the Boone and Crockett Club’s Three Year Awards Period List and ranks 10th among South Carolina’s all-time typical deer. The second- and third-highest scoring typical deer were a 156⅛-inch Chester County buck taken by Van Van Quinn in November 2003 and a 156 -inch Saluda County buck taken by Tristan Dubose in October 2015. Netting 167 6/8 points, the top scoring non-typical buck was taken by Jonathan Anders in Greenville County last November.

FISHING REPORTS Information on fishing trends provided courtesy of www. AnglersHeadquarters.com, South Carolina’s premier fishing report source. Customers of the Angler’s Headquarters online tackle store have access to daily updates and fulllength reports on its site. DHEC Fish Consumption Advisories: www.scdhec.gov/environment/water/fish Freshwater Report Santee Cooper System 7/3 Bass: Fair to good. Steve Harmon reports that fish have settled into a normal summer pattern. Early in the morning fish can be caught in shallow water where they will take topwater lures, but later in the day the best action is in deeper water. When conditions are calm soft plastics are working best for the deeper fish, and when it is windy spinnerbaits work better. Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Jim Glenn (843-825-4239) reports that catfish the bite for numbers of small blue catfish continues to be strong, and more 20-40 pound fish are also being caught drifting cut bait during the day and at night in a variety of depth ranges. Crappie: Fair to good. Captain Steve English (843-729-4044) reports that crappie fishing remains pretty good, particularly in the lower lake. Fish have not gone super-deep and they are being caught over brush in 12-14 feet of water on minnows. Bream: Fair. Captain Steve English reports that the bream bite is inexplicably down, although some bluegill and shellcracker have been caught shallow in both lakes. Midlands Area Lake Wateree 7/7 Crappie: Good. Will Hinson advises that fish are in brush piles along the main river channel and they are biting well.

Minnows are catching fish but the best bite has been on jigs. Bass: Fair to good. Brett Collins reports that there has been a pretty good shallow bite. The bait hasn’t moved very deep, and so early in the morning fish can be caught shallow on topwaters and once the sun gets up they will take worms dragged on the bottom. Fishing docks with jigs and worms has also been working. Catfish: Fair. Captain Rodger Taylor (803517-7828) reports that most fish are focused on spawning, and that can make for more challenging catfish conditions. While it is still worth trying up the river for a big bite, particularly when current is present, the best bite may be further down the lake where pre-spawn and post-spawn fish are more likely to be found. Anglers should experiment with a variety of cut baits to find what the fish want. Lake Greenwood 6/23 Bass: Good. Stan Gunter reports that – particularly for early summer – tournament sacks have been pretty good, although the action is a little better for numbers than big fish. Fishing deepdiving crankbaits and large plastic worms around brush has been the best pattern, and some fish have also been caught flipping docks. Striper: Fair to good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that early in the morning some fish can be caught on free-lines, but the best pattern for catching striper is to fish down-lines in the 18-22 foot range. Schooling activity is just getting underway. Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that channel catfish can be caught around humps and points on dip baits. Lake Monticello 6/23 Bass: Good. Andy Wicker reports that big bass have been hard to locate, but lots of solid 3-pound fish are being caught. Bass are stacked up around deeper humps and

have a small wooden box, actually a converted jewelry box, that holds some of my treasures. It’s about 8 inches by 10 inches and is made of walnut. The inside is smooth green velvet. The lid has a Grainger McCoy barn swallow pin mounted in the center, flat against the wood. My wife, Ginger, bought the box from a local jeweler and had him fix the pin to Dan the lid. Geddings Inside, OUTDOORS under the lid, a small band holds a postcard with Audubon’s mallard picture, my favorite. A Valentines card from Ginger is also tucked under the band, along with three small, beautifully iridescent, turkey feathers. In the bottom is an old rusty railroad spike that I found along the original route of the Wilmington/ Manchester Railroad Line in Sumter County. It was built in 1845, the first railroad in this part of the state. Union soldiers from Potter’s Raid destroyed the tracks at the end of the Civil War in 1865. A black curly tail feather from a mallard drake that I shot in Arkansas a few years ago is tucked in there. The feather is unique in that it has a small streak of white in the curl that runs out toward the tip. I have seen thousands of these feathers, but never another one with a white streak. I have a piece of Indian pottery in my box that I found in a wildlife food plot that I had plowed. It’s about 1-and-a-half inches square and a quarter-inch thick. It is tan colored and has a little curve to it. One side is smooth and the other is stamped with some peculiar marks. I wondered about their origin until I finally realized it is an imprint from an ear of corn, rolled against the wet clay. A small baggie holds a

Texas turkey tag dated April 18, 2005. The taxidermist returned the tag to me when I picked up the mounted Rio Grand gobbler. Ford Ranch, McCulloch County is hand written on the tag. My wife calls the mount my museum piece, because it is so beautiful. A clear plastic diaphragm call box holds a portion of the brass cap to a shotgun shell. It is the end piece of the cap with the hole for the primer through the center. I picked it up from the sandy ground just outside the big house at Hampton Plantation. It is very thin and very fragile. There is some lettering stamped into the cap, but it is too faded to read. It could have been fired by Archibald Rutledge or one of his sons. Another diaphragm call box holds a number of 12 gauge shotgun pellets. I picked them out of my left shoulder and side in the weeks after I had been shot on a quail hunt. I still have 17 pellets in my head. I didn’t try to pick any of those out. There are a couple of buckeyes in the box that I picked up in the woods somewhere. The old-time people used to walk around with a buckeye in their pocket for good luck. I don’t remember if I found mine before or after I got shot. I have a couple of old rabies tags that I picked up from the general vicinity of my Daddy’s old dog pen. He always kept a pack of hounds with names like Old Red, Stokes, and Bubba and Doc. He had so many dogs that the vet usually came to his house to give the rabies shots. There is a South Carolina Waterfowl Association sponsor pin that features a lab

head in relief. Another small circular SCWA sponsor pin features a pair of canvasback duck heads. I have two paper shotgun shells. They are green Remington Express #1 buckshot. The ends are not crimped, but turned inward, and are plugged with a paper stopper. I found them in the old house in Paxville before we tore it down. They must have been some of Daddy’s old shells. He would have shot shells like that in Ole Betsy, his old rabbiteared double barrel. I’ve got a variety of Grainger McCoy pins and pendants in my treasure box, a Carolina wren, a mallard tail feather, a gamecock tail feather and several others. I have a turkey feather pin he made as a special request. It is one of a kind. No others were ever produced, as far as I know. I have a Jack Miner band from a mallard drake that I shot on a private duck pond near Goat Island in 1995. The mallard had been banded that November on the Miner refuge in Kingsville, Ontario. All Jack Miner bands have a bible verse printed on them. Mine reads, “God is our refuge, PS 46-1.” There is a small piece of lava rock from the Arizona desert, a little chunk of pinion pine from the Grand Canyon and other little nick knacks, but not everything will fit in a box. Bigger and better treasures can live in our hearts and minds. Think about all the treasures you might have. Treasures collected from a lifetime in the outdoors.

points as well as mid-depth brush, and they will take spoons, deep-diving crankbaits and worms. Catfish: Very good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that this isn’t the peak time to catch big fish, but for anglers looking to fill up a cooler with lots of fish – or simply to get their lined pulled over and over – the action right now is hard to beat. The best pattern is free-line drifting over deep water with small pieces of cut fish or shrimp. Lake Murray 7/6 Striped bass: Good. Captain Brad Taylor (803-331-1354) reports that the best fish are being caught on downlines fished in 55-70 feet of water in the lower lake. The free-line bite has declined and is mainly yielding smaller fish now. Crappie: Good. Captain Brad reports that good numbers of crappie are still being caught over brush in 18-25 feet of water and around deeper docks. Both minnows and jigs will catch fish. Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that fan-casting a variety of baits – including dip baits and cut herring – in 10-25 feet of water has been productive for channel catfish. Bass: Fair to good. Captain Doug Lown reports that largemouth can be found from shallow to mid-depth to deep water. The fishing has been far better early and late. Buzzbaits fished around the banks when there is some shade will catch fish, and plastic worms fished off points have also been working. Piedmont Area Lake Thurmond 6/16 Bass: Fair to good. Buckeye Lures reports that some big bags have been caught in local tournaments even though it has gotten very hot. Fish can be caught around main lake humps on jigs and soft plastics, and there is also some shallow activity early and late.

Striper and Hybrids: Very good. Captain William Sasser (864-333-2000) reports that early in the morning his boat is catching fish 40-50 feet deep on down-lines. In the backs of coves tons of two-pound hybrids can be caught. Crappie: Good. Captain William Sasser reports that crappie are still biting well over mid-depth brush. Lake Wylie 6/2

Striped Bass: Slow. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that striper fishing will get better soon but for now pulling free-lined herring in the mid-lake is the best bet. Mountains Area Lake Hartwell 6/16 Bass: Fair to good. Guide Brad Fowler reports that there is a pretty good topwater bite over points and humps, and fish can also be caught on drop shots as well as around bream beds. Striped Bass: Good. Captain Bill Plumley (864-287-2120) and Guide Chip Hamilton (864-304-9011) report that the best striper actions is the middle to lower part of the lake about 30-50 feet deep on down-lined herring. Catfish: Good. Captain Bill Plumley reports that channel catfish are scattered out in the shallow to middle depths where they will eat dip baits, cut bait, worms and more. Flathead catfish can be caught at night on live bait and most blues are in deeper timber. Crappie: Fair. Captain Bill Plumley reports that the crappie bite is pretty good around mid-depth brush and bridges on minnows, and night fishing has been a litter better than daytime fishing. Lake Keowee 6/16 Bass: Fair to good. Guide Brad Fowler reports that fish are getting into a pretty standard summer pattern. Early in the morning there is a topwater bite, and later in the day fish can be caught on drop shots and shakey head worms. Lake Jocassee 6/22 Trout: Good. Guide Sam Jones (864-2809056) reports that some nice trout have been caught recently. Fish are getting deeper and moving into a summer pattern, and they are being caught as shallow as 40 feet down into the 70-foot range. Spoons are working best.

‘The old-time people used to walk around with a buckeye in their pocket for good luck. I don’t remember if I found mine before or after I got shot.’

Bass: Fair to good. FLW angler Bryan New reports that the deep bite is significantly better than any shallow pattern. Carolina rigs, swimbaits, jigs and deep-running crankbaits will all catch fish around offshore structure. Catfish: Fair. Captain Rodger Taylor (803-517-7828) reports that priority one for the fish is spawning, and that can make for a tougher catfish bite. Anglers need to display a lot of flexibility and be willing to move around, anchor, drift and try different baits. While it is still worth trying up the river for a big bite, particularly when there is current, more catchable fish may be found in the less riverine areas. Lake Russell 6/21 Bass: Fair to good. Guide Jerry Kotal (706988-0860) and Guide Wendell Wilson (706283-3336) report that bass are setting up in a typical summer pattern where they can be caught in 20-40 feet of water around depth changes as well as off main lake points. Drop shot rigs, Spot Removers, and deep-diving crankbaits will all catch fish. Catfish: Very good. Guide Jerry Kotal reports that channel catfish are scattered across the lake and feeding very well on cut herring as well as catalpa worms. Crappie: Very good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports strong numbers of crappie as well as big fish are being caught around brush in 15-18 feet on worms, and 35-70 fish trips has been the norm.
