Many reasons rape kits go untested

‘Shut up and dance’

BY COLLYN TAYLOR intern@theitem.com Sexual assault is a serious crime, and the minutes after an attack can be vital for collecting evidence for criminal investigations. While the tedious process of putting rape kits together continues, many kits aren’t being processed by law enforcement. Data printed in Tuesday’s edition of The Sumter Item showed 49 untested rape kits between the Sumter Police Department and Sumter County Sheriff’s Office. According to both department spokespersons, some go untested because of the amnesty law. Under the law, if the victim wants to remain anonymous, the rape kit is turned over to law enforcement without a name, and it is up

crowd of people showed up at the Main Street green space on Saturday to cut a rug during Sumter’s second Dizzy Feet Foundation event in celebration of National Dance Day. Dizzy Feet Foundation was founded in 2009 by “So You Think You Can Dance” judges Nigel Lythgoe and

Adam Shankman to increase access to dance education across the country. During the event, participants learned routines created by the show’s alumni, Twitch and Travis Wall, to the song “Shut Up and Dance” by the group Walk the Moon. The choreography is available online at dizzyfeetfoundation.org. Wanda Dennis and her family arrived at the green space early Saturday for her granddaughter, who was more

than ready to dance. Tieryanna Keith, 8, practiced the routine the night before, Dennis said. “I had to bring her out here,” she said. Tieryanna, a member of the step team at Lemira Elementary School, said dancing has always been her dream, and she puts her personal style into all of her moves.

YWCA helps victims of domestic violence BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com Domestic violence is the leading cause of injuries for women ages 15 to 44, more common than auto accidents, muggings and cancer combined, according to statistics from the U.S. Surgeon General. The YWCA of the Upper Lowlands Inc. aims to alleviate the effects of domestic violence by providing a temporary shelter and programs for victims and their children.

Through its efforts, the local chapter has been able to assist thousands of women since opening in Sumter in 1965, providing women with the support and tools to help transform their lives. The organization is also dedicated to promoting racial justice and personal empowerment across all programs and services. “Our goal is to offer help to everyone who comes through the door regardless of their situation,” said Yolanda Debra Wilson, YWCA of the Upper Lowlands Inc. executive director. “A lot of times women show up at our door-

Kelly to take command of 9th Air Force

BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com

Maj. Gen. Mark D. Kelly will take command of 9th Air Force Headquarters from Maj. Gen. H. D. Polumbo Jr. during a ceremony at Shaw Air Force base Friday. Gen. Herbert J. “Hawk” Carlisle, commander of Air Combat Command, will officiate the ceremony. As the 9th Air Force Commander, Kelly will be responsible for eight active duty wings and three direct reporting units in the southeastern United States with more than 400 aircraft and 29,000 active-duty and civilian personnel.

One adult and three juveniles were involved in a single-vehicle wreck Friday morning that resulted in the death of the 3-year-old passenger. According to South Carolina Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. David Jones, 19-year-old Diedre Wilson of Bishopville, the driver, was traveling north on Mount Lisbon Road in Lee County with three passengers — a 6-year-old boy, a 3-year-old girl and a 2-month-old — when she ran off the road to the right and struck a ditch at 10:45 a.m. The gender of the 2-month-old was not available at press time. The 1999 GMC Yukon SUV overturned several times, and the 6-year-old and 3-year-old were ejected from the vehicle. No one was wearing a seatbelt at the time of incident, according to Jones. All four individuals were transported to McLeod Regional Health Center in Florence where the 3-year-old later died. Jones said law enforcement officers think the three juveniles were sitting in the rear seat of the vehicle.

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer WASHINGTON — Exercise may do more than keep a healthy brain fit: New research suggests working up a good sweat may also offer some help once memory starts to slide — and even improve life for people with Alzheimer’s. The effects were modest, but a series of studies reported Thursday found vigorous workouts by people with mild memory impairment decreased levels of a warped protein linked to risk of later Alzheimer’s — and improved quality of life for people who already were in early stages of the disease. “Regular aerobic exercise could be a fountain of youth for the brain,” said cognitive neuroscientist Laura Baker of Wake Forest School of Medicine in North Carolina, who reported some of the research at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference. Doctors have long advised that people keep active as they get older. Exercise is good for the heart, which in turn is good for the brain. Lots of research shows physical activity can improve cognition in healthy older people, potentially lowering their risk of developing dementia. With no medications yet available that can slow Alzheimer’s creeping brain destruction, the new findings point to lifestyle changes that

Gendy continues to exercise after participating in a Wake Forest School of Medicine study that found aerobic activity may lower a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s. “Regular aerobic exercise could be a fountain of youth for the brain,” said cognitive neuroscientist Laura Baker of the school. might make a difference after memory impairment begins as well. The caveat: Check with a doctor to determine what’s safe for a person’s overall medical condition, especially if he or she already has Alzheimer’s. “It’s important for caregivers especially to think how to keep loved ones as engaged as possible. The last thing they should do is keep their loved one at home watching TV,” said Alzheimer’s Association chief science officer Maria Carrillo. How much exercise? In studies from North Carolina, Denmark and Canada, people got 45 minutes to an hour of aerobic exercise three or four times a week, compared to seniors who stuck with their usual schedule. “You’re panting and sweating,” said Baker, whose research is getting particular attention because it’s one of the first to find exercise can affect tau, an Alzheimer’s hallmark that causes tangles in brain cells.

Democrats will renew push for Medicaid expansion COLUMBIA (AP) — Democrats plan to renew efforts next year to expand Medicaid eligibility in South Carolina, saying that’s the most important way to continue the work of their slain colleague, Sen. Clementa Pinckney. It will be a tough sell in a state where Republican opposition hasn’t budged since a 2012 U.S. Supreme Court ruling upheld the federal health care law but made its intended Medicaid expansion an option. But Democrats hope the Legislature’s decision to remove the Confed-

erate flag from Statehouse grounds — a move long thought impossible — indicates opinions can change. Sen. Darrell Jackson, D-Columbia, said extending Medicaid coverage to an estimated 200,000 poor adults will benefit the state in a tangible, rather than symbolic way while enacting a top priority of Pinckney’s. “If you want to continue the work of Sen. Pinckney and the interests he cared most about, this issue is second to none,” said Sen. Joel Lourie, D-Columbia.

Pinckney, of Ridgeland, was among the nine victims of last month’s massacre at the historic black church in Charleston he pastored. The Senate district he represented for the last 15 years spans some of South Carolina’s poorest areas. “Although the flag was an atrocious symbol, he and I rarely had a conversation about the flag. “What we had a lot of conversations about was health care,” said Jackson, pastor of one of the state’s largest black churches. “It was so necessary

to get the flag down because it was a symbol of something that divides us, but when it’s all said and done, it doesn’t improve the quality of life of one South Carolinian.” Democrats hope Gov. Nikki Haley makes a reversal on Medicaid, much like when she called for the flag to come down. “I appreciate all of her newfound attention to symbolism,” Jackson said. “What would really be a courageous stand would be to sign Medicaid expansion.”

Americans with Disabilities Act turns 25 Law changed lives of millions, but suits continue to be filed THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fred Maahs, a Comcast executive, became a prominent disability-rights activist after being paralyzed from the chest down in a diving accident 35 years ago. Today marks the 25th anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act. NEW YORK (AP) — Five days before he was to start college, Fred Maahs’ world turned upside down. Off the Delaware coast in 1980, on the last day of summer vacation, the 18-year-old took a dive from his family’s boat into an unseen sandbar barely a foot below the surface, sustaining injuries that paralyzed him from the chest down. After months of medical care, he had to find a new college to attend — the one at which he enrolled said its campus was not accessible to wheelchairs. One of his first jobs was on the second floor of a building with no elevator; two friends carried him up and down the stairs. “For those first couple of years, I was really dependent on family or friends,” Maahs said. “Back then, people with disabilities were primarily kept at home.” Were that diving accident to happen now, the campus and workplace would be accessible — with ramps, curb cuts, elevators, designated parking spots. A blind or deaf person, or anyone with a host of other disabilities, also would find accommodations enhancing their independence and engagement — all of this the legacy of the sweeping Americans with Disabilities Act, which was signed into law 25 years ago, on July 26, 1990. “Let the shameful wall of exclusion finally come tumbling down,” declared President George H. W. Bush as he prepared to sign the legislation. Some 2,000 people with disabilities — elated after years of activism — gathered outside the White House for the ceremony. The act is monumental in scope, intended to protect people with disabilities from discrimination and enable them to participate fully in the workforce and their communities. Its protections, which now cover an estimated 55 million Americans, extend to five key areas: employment, state and local government facilities and services, public accommodations, telecommunications and transportation. Even before the ADA was signed, Fred Maahs was well on his way to a successful career as a businessman and disability-rights activist. He is now an executive of Comcast Corp. and recently ended a term as chairman of the American Association of People with Disabilities. By bringing attention to physical barriers, the ADA has made “a quantum difference,” he says. And yet the law — like the 1964 Civil Rights Act that helped inspire it — remains a work in progress with some of its goals still unfulfilled. “The unemployment rate for people with disabilities is outrageous,” Maahs said. “And a law isn’t going to change the attitudinal barriers. Probably at some point in their life, every kid today with some form of disability will encounter discrimination or stereotyping or bullying.” The ADA did not come about easily — it took decades of work by people with disabilities and their allies.

In Congress, where the act was introduced in 1988, its champions included several lawmakers personally affected by disabilities, including Rep. Tony Coelho of California, who had epilepsy. In the Senate, key supporters included Tom Harkin of Iowa, whose brother was deaf; Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts, whose son had a leg amputated, and Robert Dole of Kansas, who suffered lasting injuries during combat in Italy in World War II. Dole, who just turned 92, recalled the staunch opposition to the bill among some of his fellow Republicans. “Most of it was people concerned that the cost would be too great — it would put small business out of business because of what they’d have to do to comply,” Dole recalled in a recent telephone interview. Among the leading foes was Sen. Jesse Helms of North Carolina, who nicknamed the ADA the “Lawyers’ Relief Act” on the premise that it would trigger a flood of litigation. Dole and his allies argued that the ADA requirements for business were reasonable. The bill passed the Senate by a 76-8 vote on Sept. 7, 1989, and passed the House unanimously in May. Dole counts his work on the ADA as one of his proudest achievements. He made a tour last year across Kansas and said the crowds of well-wishers at virtually every stop in-

cluded people with disabilities. “The ADA has been a lifechanger for millions for Americans,” he said. Wheelchair-accessible public transit, ATMs marked with Braille, widespread use of closed captioning, fire alarms that can be seen as well as heard — the changes brought by the ADA are apparent at every turn. In most cases, businesses and various levels of government have made ADA-related changes as a matter of routine at a cumulative nationwide cost running into untold billions of dollars. Just one example: It’s considered standard under ADA guidelines for accessibility compliance to add up to 20 percent to the cost of major architectural remodeling projects. In many instances, disabled people and their lawyers have resorted to lawsuits alleging violations of the act. There have been some landmark courtroom victories, and also some complaints about overzealous lawyers shopping for disabled clients in order to file potentially lucrative suits. A quarter-century after ADA’s passage, joblessness among disabled Americans remains far higher than for other adults. Just 17.1 percent of people with a disability were employed in 2014, compared to 64.6 percent of those without a disability, according to the latest federal figures.

Since its enactment in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act has been the legal foundation for a vast array of lawsuits filed on behalf of disabled people alleging they were discriminated against. Among the many cases that have surfaced or been resolved just in the past year: • The mother of a 6-yearold Ohio boy with Down syndrome alleged in a federal lawsuit that an Ohio YMCA excluded him from a summer camp and some other programs because of his disability and treated him hypocritically after using him in promotions extolling opportunities for everyone. • The Illinois High School Association resolved a lawsuit by agreeing in June to give disabled student athletes full opportunities to compete in certain sports, including swimming, diving and track and field. Among other steps, the association will create an annual road race open to all high school students in the state that includes wheelchair divisions for both genders. • A blind Ohio student, Aleeha Dudley, has pursued a federal lawsuit against Miami University, alleging that course materials were inaccessible to her text-to-speech software, and she didn’t receive material in Braille or other forms she could use without help.

Kurds fight Islamic State and endure attacks BAGHDAD (AP) — Turkish jets struck camps belonging to Kurdish militants in northern Iraq on Friday and Saturday in what were the first strikes since a peace deal was announced in 2013. The strikes in Iraq targeted the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, whose affiliates have been effective in battling the Islamic State group. The Kurds of Syria and Iraq have become a major part of the war against the Islamic State group, with Kurdish populations in both countries threatened by the militants’ advance. Syrian, Iraqi and Turkish Kurds took part in cross-border operations to help rescue tens of thousands of displaced people from the minority Yazidi group from Iraq’s Sinjar Mountain in August last year, and they continue to fight in cooperation with one another against the Islamic State group in areas along the IraqSyria border. They have been somewhat effective in limiting the expansion of the Islamic State militants across northern Iraq, but there are concerns that Turkish airstrikes on the PKK could jeopardize Kurdish positions.

WHO ARE THE KURDS? The Kurds are an ethnic group with their own language and customs whose nomadic past led to their mod-

ment with several key posts including the presidency, which is allocated to Kurds. They currently represent about 20 percent of Iraq’s population, making them the largest ethnic minority. There are two main Iraqi Kurdish factions: The Kurdistan Democratic Party is led by Kurdish Regional Government President Massoud Barzani, and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan is led by former Iraqi President Jalal Talabani. The factions fought a bloody war for power over northern Iraq in the mid-1990s, before agreeing to a powersharing deal that ended the fighting in 1998. The Iraqi Kurdish militia, known as the peshmerga, has been a major force in repelling the Islamic State group’s onslaught in recent months, with nearly a dozen countries rushing to its aid with weapons and training in the absence of genuine support from a strained Iraqi military. The United States has been one of the most ardent protectors of Iraqi Kurds for more than a generation, helping establish and enforce a safe haven in northern Iraq to protect them from Saddam Hussein. After the U.S.-led 2003 invasion of Iraq, U.S. officials sought to give equal power to Kurdish politicians even in navigating the delicate rivalry between the factions.

After the collapse of the Ottoman and Qajar empires and the subsequent creation of these modern states, Iraq, Iran and Turkey each agreed to oppose the creation of an

independent Kurdistan, making them the largest stateless minority group in the world. With nearly 25 million people living in five countries, they continue to push for self-rule.

THE SUMTER ITEM

YWCA FROM PAGE A1 and one in Charleston. Sumter’s serves Sumter, Clarendon and Lee counties, and takes in women to its shelter from throughout the state and nation. The organization also offers several programs for nonresidents of the shelter that address abusive relationships. “We’ve got to do more in educating people on domestic violence and take a stand for those who’ve been victimized,” Wilson said. Each year, more than 100 victims, including women and their children, go through YWCA’s shelter in an undisclosed location in Sumter County. The facility can accommodate as many as 20 residents and includes four large bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a family room. It is staffed 24/7 by a YWCA employee. Wilson said right now the shelter is filled to capacity. Residents can stay for as long as two months, but the time can be extended at Wilson’s discretion depending on the victim’s circumstances. During their stay, staff provide counseling and support services for victims, create a short-term treatment plan, offer transportation to vital services and perform assessments that address critical needs such as locating to a safer area. Residents are provided meals as well as

KITS FROM PAGE A1 to the victim’s discretion to go to law enforcement and claim the kit so law enforcement can proceed with the case. According to both Eric McFarland, manager of the emergency department at Tuomey Regional Medical Center, and Mary Dell Hayes, director of development at the Sexual Trauma Services of the Midlands, the victim has one year to claim the kit or it will be destroyed. But how does the kit even get put together enough to send to law enforcement? The process starts long before the kit is made up. When sexual assault victims go into a hospital and reports an incident, they are immediately taken into a private room, where they are assessed by a medical professional: either a nurse or one of the speciallytrained Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners at Tuomey. Tuomey officials also call Sexual Trauma Services, which sends over a specially-trained volunteer to help the victim. Hayes said the volunteer has more than 25 hours of training and is specially equipped to provide care for the victim. Hayes said the moments after being taken back into the room can be hectic with people running around trying to help, and it can be comforting to have someone whose only job it

food for three days once they leave the facility. YWCA also partners with local employment agencies to assist women with job searches. “On average, women go back to their abuser seven times before making the decision to leave for good,” Wilson said. “There are many factors associated with that. One of the major ones being financial dependency. We realize that this is just a start.” Wilson said that is why partnerships with local employers are so important. “Some of our women come with intense education and workforce experience; others have been out of work for a long time; every situation is different,” she said. Residents include women of all ages and backgrounds and some come with disabilities, said Wilson. YWCA also offers domestic violence counseling at its office for nonresidents. “When we think about domestic violence, many people associate that with physical abuse,” she said. “But there are many other forms including emotional, verbal, economic and sexual abuse.” Programs offered are not exclusively for women, however. “Intervention for Change,” is a court-mandated program for offenders to attend sessions of counseling. This is a psycho-educational group that gives abusers the oppor-

is to console victims. From there, the rape kit is assembled. The kit is designed not to positively identify if a sexual assault happened but rather to gather as much forensic evidence as possible. Examiners take hair combings along with any other DNA samples they can: DNA from underneath fingernails and swabs from different areas. McFarland describes the “hours-long” process as “systematic and careful,” saying nurses want to make sure they get as much forensic evidence as possible. Hayes said an interview usually happens with victims whose assault was recent. Then victims have what McFarland calls a tough decision to make; they have to decide whether they are going to report the incident to the police. If a victim does, proper law enforcement is contacted and investigators come to conduct an interview. Kits are sent to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division to be tested. If the case isn’t reported, the kit is labeled anonymously and given to law enforcement for that year. If the victim decides in that year he or she wants to press charges, then he or she contacts the hospital and the hospital notifies law enforcement. But why wouldn’t the victim want to notify authorities and punish the perpetrator? The reasons, McFarland said,

The program comes with a $545 fee for offenders for a 26week program. Another program, called Sister’s Closet, provides clothing for women, including professional attire for job interviews. Sisters Acquiring Financial Empowerment addresses the economic factors that keep victims in abusive situations, Wilson said. SAFE offers resume help, information on obtaining bank ac-

can be complicated. He said many times the victim knows his or her attacker; he said it could be a spouse, coworker, boss or just someone he or she knows personally. According to the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network, about 80 percent of rapes are committed by someone the victim knows. McFarland said a lot of times victims report anonymously because they can’t process right away what happened to them. “(The amnesty law) gives them time to think it through,” he said. Both McFarland and Hayes said they do not pressure victims into reporting the incident to law enforcement, saying reporting is totally up to the victim. “Our role is to provide medical and psychological support and to collect evidence and to maintain the integrity of the evidence,” McFarland said. The only cases McFarland said hospitals must report to law enforcement are in cases involving minors or vulnerable adults with conditions like mental illness or dementia. Hayes said ideally she’d like to see every case reported and every rapist put behind bars, but realistically, that is not the case. She said only 2 percent of all rapists spend a day in jail. Also, only 32 percent of rapes are reported to law enforce-

counts, housing and employment. Services are free. YWCA also offers a free a program for girls called Y Teen that brings teen girls ages 12-to-18 together to develop group leadership skills. The program strives to provide girls with life skills, mentorship, networking, community activities and field trips. The organization has several major fundraisers throughout the year. One of those is a Fish Fry that will take place on Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the YWCA, 246 Church St. Whiting fish sandwiches will be sold for $4 and whiting fish dinners, including red rice, cole slaw, hushpuppies and cake will be $8. To place an order, call the YWCA at (803) 773-7158. Orders must be placed by Monday. Another major event, the YWCA 4th Annual Golf Tournament, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 19, at The Links at Lakewood Golf Course, 3600 Green View Parkway. The format will be a Captain’s Choice-team of four players, with a $50 preregistration fee or $55 the day of the event. Preregistration and payment are due by Sept. 16 and should be mailed to the YWCA of the Upper Lowlands Inc. Golf Tournament, 246 Church St., Sumter, S.C.

ment, with Hayes saying sometimes victims don’t report because they haven’t had a positive experience with the legal system. She said there’s still a lot of work to be done with reporting a rape; however, the initial steps still need to be taken. McFarland and Hayes stressed the importance of getting to a hospital to get tested and be examined. McFarland said not to shower, wash clothes or go to the bathroom for risk of losing viable DNA samples. Hayes said victims should try and bring

anything else that may have DNA on it like bed sheets. Both stress getting help because sexual assault is such a difficult experience to go through. Sexual Trauma of the Midlands has a 24-hour crisis hotline for victims to receive support at (803) 771-7273, or victims in Sumter County can call a toll-free number at (800) 4917273. Victims can also call 911 immediately after an assault or go to Tuomey Regional Medical Center at 129 N. Washington St. in Sumter.

Sumter’s civic progress and secret sex websites

hen you miss a day of The Sumter Item, you miss a lot. While reviewing some of our papers of the past week, it struck me how many stories our excellent news staff has done recently that fall into the category of “routine community journalism.” These stories are critically important when it comes to the larger picture of a 120-year-old local newspaper documenting Sumter’s continued progress. For example, reporter Adrienne Sarvis wrote about how the City of Sumter plans to pay off old debt and fund water and sewer projects through the Graham sale of revenue bonds. Osteen According to the story, Sumter Mayor Joe McElveen “said the city now has the proper amount of funding to replace old water and sewer lines that are 80 to 100 years old.” He said other municipalities have to wait for water system problems to arise before taking action, but Sumter has the ability to be proactive and systematically replace old lines when needed. McElveen said “Sumter’s recent infrastructure improvements make the city more desirable to new economic development and industries.”

COMMENTARY Another story by Adrienne this week dealt with Sumter County’s continued effective use of the 2008 and now the 2016 Capital Penny Sales Tax proceeds. County councilman Charles Edens told the Palmetto Rotary Club that Sumter is on the edge of experiencing a great amount of growth because of the success of the penny sales tax, and that the effects are continuing to be seen through a wide range of community improvement projects. Reporter Jim Hilley brought us up to speed on Central Carolina Technical College’s Advanced Manufacturing Technology Training Center on Broad Street. According to the story, CCTC President Tim Hardee said “the building will house two different operations. In the east end of the building are training rooms for Continental Tire the Americas, already in use by the tire company, while the west side of the building will house ReadySC and equipment for the college’s mechatronics program, which will be moved from the main campus after the summer session is complete.” This type of advanced job training — rolled into a $14 million local construction project — is vitally important for Sumter’s workforce development, and will create great opportunities for many people.

It’s important to remember that not all communities in this nation have effective city, county, business and educational leadership. Sumter has been fortunate through the years thanks to so many people who have taken on the necessary challenges such progress requires. ••• On a completely different note, I woke up early Tuesday morning to one of those irritating morning television shows. I think it was “Good Morning America,” “The Today Show,” or CBS This Morning,” the one with Charlie Rose. Still not sure which one, but all of them are way too perky for my morning taste. Everyone is just laughing and talking about the stupidest things imaginable, and there are always celebrities I’ve never heard of. The lead story was the Ashley Madison website scandal. Turns out Ashley Madison is a website where people can put their most intimate personal information in writing, along with credit cards and kinky sex preferences, so they can figure out how to have an extramarital affair with a like-minded person. That like-minded person has apparently put all their own information into the world of Ashley Madison, as if she was some sort of

trusted friend or a crazy great aunt who knows how to keep secrets. The story was that the Ashley Madison website had been hacked by hackers, and now all that personal sex information is out there in the public domain. Blackmail seems to be impending, and a lot of married people are sweating. Like many longtime married people waking up to a story like that — we usually turn on “I Love Lucy” in the morning because it’s so much easier to digest — my wife of 30-something years looked at me and said: “Do you have something you want to tell me, honey?” I said, “No. Do you?” I was telling my daughter this story the other night, and she confirmed the state of the modern world. “Dad,” she said, “I’ve become accustomed to consistent bad behavior from all walks of life — young, old, rich and poor.” She lives in New York, which tends to make people slightly more cynical, but I guess it’s true everywhere. Except Sumter. People here are focused only on civic progress. Graham Osteen is Editor-At-Large of The Item. He can be reached at graham@ theitem.com.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR MANY IN OUR STATE TRY TO DENY TRUTH OF HISTORY It was refreshing to again see a letter from Mr. Valcourt in the newspaper. It is ironic that his first letter about the “Destruction of Intellectual Freedom” ran along with a Paul Greenberg column dealing with the “Language Police.” Then in the paper today (Wednesday, July 15), his letter, “America Entering Very Dark Period,” is in juxtaposition with the column by Walter Williams dealing with the ignorance of the general populace about the history of this country regarding the Confederate States of America. Unfortunately, Valcourt, Greenberg and Williams are attempting to educate people who either do not want to be educated or cannot be educated. Even history as recent as the 1930’s and 1940’s appears to elude the supposed well educated who appear to not have learned anything about Nazi Germany except that they had a swastika. They do not know about such things as thought control, book burning or abolishment of anything with which the Nazis did not agree. Just as we have no control over our government, neither did the general populace there. Many in this country, including in the South, hate Southerners who are free thinkers — people who do not blindly play “Follow The Leader.” What Williams, Greenberg and Valcourt are trying to teach is the truth of history. Many at all levels of our populace will deny the truth without even investigating for themselves. There are some in government from local to state to federal, including the courts, who deny truth as well. All read into the Constitution what is not there while ignoring what is. Legislators in the individual states have given up the rights of the people for money — bribed by the federal government as is now being proposed by threatening to withhold highway funds from those states allowing the now forbidden flag to appear on license plates. Once upon a time, there were people here who gave their lives for freedom; there were those who stood up for the rights that individuals and states were given when the U.S.A. was formed. Sadly, few of that type American is now among us. F.D. SCHMIDT Sumter

COMMENTARY

Before we lose our minds

ASHINGTON — Current quibbling over what Jeb Bush meant when he said it’s time to phase out and replace Medicare — as opposed to “attacking the seniors,” as one woman at a recent event bellowed out — will soon seem quaint against the realities of our future. Never mind projections that the program will only be able to finance 86 percent of its obligations by 2030. Or that by 2050, the number declines to 80 percent, according to a recently released Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees report. These are relatively comforting numbers compared to new projections from the Alzheimer’s Association. By 2050, the group says, 16 million Americans will have Alzheimer’s at a cost of $1.1 trillion per year, mostly to Medicare and Medicaid. Today, by comparison, 5.3 million have the disease. “Basically, it will bankrupt Medicare,” said Rob Egge, the Alzheimer’s Association’s chief public policy officer. I met with Egge and chief science officer Maria Carrillo during the association’s recent international conference in Washington. The 2015 cost of care for Alzheimer’s and all other dementias is estimated at $226 billion, with 68 percent being paid by Medicare and Medicaid, said Egge. This total includes only direct costs for the care of Alzheimer’s sufferers — there currently is no treatment — and doesn’t take into consideration unpaid care by families. Within the next 10 years, 19 states will see at least a 40 percent increase in the number of people affected. Lest you feel overwhelmed by numbers — and demoralized by the reduc-

tion of human suffering to numerical values — suffice it to say that we are in a state of emergency. Yet, even with this obvious urgency, relatively few resources have been dedicated to research for prevention and treatment compared to other chronic diseases. This, despite the fact that Alzheimer’s is the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Kathleen Control and PrevenParker tion. Federal funding is less than $600 million annually, while top scientists say they’ll need $2 billion a year to meet the association’s 2025 goal of prevention and effective treatment. There’s cause for some hope. Last month, bipartisan House and Senate subcommittees approved increasing funding to the National Institutes of Health for Alzheimer’s research by 50 percent and 60 percent, respectively. If this funding becomes law — and the association’s goals are met — costs could be reduced by $220 billion over the first five years and $367 billion in 2050 alone, according to an association report. Sixty percent of those savings would accrue to Medicare and Medicaid. Among other scientific developments reported this week, researchers have isolated a “common ancestor” among all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Lewy body. “All are caused by misfolding proteins,” Carrillo explained to me. Two different “misfolded” proteins — amyloid beta and tau — are toxic to brain cells. I am sad to report these proteins cannot be corrected with daily doses of a

sturdy zinfandel. There is, however, a new drug that delivers a molecule scientists have created to “chaperone” these naughty proteins so that they fold correctly. Carrillo doesn’t want to overstate the value of this one-target-one-molecule approach, though it is promising. She suggests that eventually we’ll treat Alzheimer’s with a “cocktail” that will be created based on an individual’s genetic makeup and other factors. Other hope-inspiring developments include six diagnostic tools that, in combination, can be useful in predicting Alzheimer’s. They include memory and thinking tests, as well as MRI scans that can measure the thickness of the brain’s right entorhinal cortex and the volume of the hippocampus, both of which are important to memory. It is reassuring that both policymakers and scientists are committed to tackling these diseases before we’re all trying to remember what we were trying to remember. But women especially should be interested in the progress of dementia research. For reasons unknown, women suffer Alzheimer’s at a higher rate — twothirds of today’s sufferers are women. And women’s function declines twice as fast as men’s. This fall, the association will issue an international call for research on why this is so. In the meantime, Congress should waste no time in correcting the travesty of too-little funding for a devastating disease that demands our urgent attention. Otherwise, what to do about Medicare will be rendered irrelevant. Kathleen Parker’s email address is kathleenparker@washpost.com. © 2015, Washington Post Writers Group

DIZZY FROM PAGE A1 This was apparent as she stole the show while everyone was dancing the “whip” and “nae nae” at the end of the event. Keith and three other young dancers — Jania Green, 7, Cali Blodzinski, 8, and Maggie Norris, 9 — performed the Dizzy Feet routine on stage and were all named the winners of a dance-off. Blodzinski, who said more through her dancing than with her words, said dancing is her favorite thing to do, and she had a lot of fun on Saturday. Libby Singleton of Miss Libby’s said she was happy to see all of the young people smiling and having fun despite the heat. “Dancers are some of the happiest people in the world because they work with music and kids,” she said.

She said the event also serves as an opportunity for community members to come together. Singleton said she saw a few new faces although she was born and raised in Sumter. Seth Reimer, Sumter cultural manager and coowner of Miss Libby’s School of Dance, said the purpose of National Dance Day is to promote active lifestyles and healthy activities. He said the holiday gives those who are not members of dance studios the opportunity to learn something new. Reimer said the event also served the purpose of bringing people downtown. In the future, Reimer would like to invite celebrity dancers or choreographers to teach different dance styles in order to increase the excitement for National Dance Day.

KEITH GEDAMKE / THE SUMTER ITEM

The downtown green space across from the Opera House was the scene of Sumter’s second celebration of National Dance Day celebration, in which a number of dance groups from around town put on shows and did routines choreographed by Dizzy Feet Foundation, a national dance education advocacy organization.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will EUGENIA LAST capture an audience that can catapult you into stardom. Believe in yourself and your talents, and present what you have to offer. Your skills and finesse will capture the imagination of someone who can help you pursue your dream. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Love is in the stars, along with personal pampering and being the best that you can be. Don’t let indulgence stand between yourself and the success you deserve. Be reasonable, moderate and practical. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be questioned about your personal integrity. A flirtatious incident will cause confusion and lead to a dispute that can change your status suddenly. Avoid trouble by being upfront about your feelings and concerns. Emotional deception will make matters worse. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Get down to business and follow whatever you feel passionate about. Whether it’s someone you love, a hobby, children or a skill, now is the time to develop, hone and embrace what you want with heart and soul. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Think big and take on new interests in order to make changes to your future. Don’t let emotions stand between you and your dreams. Not everyone will like the decisions you make, but you have to do what’s in your best interest. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A problem at home will slow you down. Consider the pros and cons of the situation and avoid letting your emotions take over. The cost in time, money and stress won’t be worth the aggravation. Don’t give

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stick to taking physical action and getting things done instead of just talking about what you plan to do. It’s important that you are honest and straightforward about your feelings and how others fit into your plans. Romance is encouraged. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Love will lead you down an unusual path. Don’t trust everything you hear. Find out firsthand about the background of someone you are dealing with. Changes at home can be good, but shouldn’t be made impulsively. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t bend to someone’s persuasive tactics.

Kyle Busch tries to cap comeback with elusive Indy victory BY DAN GELSTON The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS — Kyle Busch has the kind of trophy collection most NASCAR drivers would envy: monsters, lobsters, even wine. He has visited victory lane 32 times in his Sprint Cup career — and with wins in the last two races and three of the

last four, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver is used to raising the ultimate prize over his head. But in The Big Ones, the series’ marquee races where a victory stamps a driver for generations, Busch has gone home empty-handed. 0 for the Daytona 500 0 for the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte. 0 for Indy.

Oh, how Busch wishes he could take the checkered flag just once in one of those races. He KYLE BUSCH tries again today at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where NASCAR’s hottest driver may have his best shot yet at planting a kiss on the famed

Yard of Bricks. “I would love to be able to have those checked off the list and to not be looking for just one victory, but two or three at some of these places,’’ Busch said Saturday. “Jeff (Gordon) is looking for (six) here at Indy at the Brickyard. That’s pretty remarkable. For me to just be looking for one, it’s a little disappointing that

I’ve been around this long and haven’t won those races.’’ Busch needs a win — or at least another top 10 — to continue his charge toward a berth in NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He refused to let the thought of a title even dance in his head as he recovered

Phillies’ Hamels tosses no-hitter against Cubs BY JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO — The scouts packed the seats behind home plate, and Cole Hamels put on quite a show. The lanky left-hander was dominant on a picturesque afternoon at Wrigley Field. Quite the timing, too. Hamels struck out 13 in baseball’s third no-hitter of the season, leading Philadelphia to a 5-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday in what might be his final start for the Phillies. The 2008 World Series MVP has been mentioned prominently in trade talks as the July 31 deadline approaches. “It’s something where you just go out there and enjoy the moment,” Hamels said. “What I want is to be successful at it. I enjoyed the moment and this happened.” Hamels (6-7) was in control right from the start against the contending Cubs, and then got some help from rookie center fielder Odubel Herrera in the final two innings. It also was the fourth no-hitter for catcher Carlos Ruiz, including the playoffs, according to STATS — tops in NL history and tied with Jason Varitek for the major league record. “I was thinking about one inning at a time,” Ruiz said. “That’s what I was thinking - something special could happen today.” It was the 13th no-hitter for the Phillies, who have the majors’ worst record and could rebuild their farm system with a big haul from a Hamels deal. The 31-year-old lefty also was part of Philadelphia’s previous no-hitter, teaming with three relievers for another gem last Sept. 1 at Atlanta. Since 1900, only two pitchers have thrown a no-hitter and then got traded in the same season: Cliff Chambers from Pittsburgh to St. Louis in 1951, and Edwin Jackson from Tampa Bay to the White Sox in 2010. “Today was vintage Cole Hamels,” Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. It was the first no-hitter against Chicago since Sandy Koufax pitched a perfect game at Dodger Stadium in 1965. Dexter Fowler walked twice, but he was the only baserunner for the Cubs. Hamels “definitely increased his value, I would imagine,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “You’re going to get that higher-tier prospect because of that performance today.” Ryan Howard hit a three-run homer off Jake Arrieta (11-6) in the third, but Herrera had the two biggest plays of Hamels’ first solo no-hitter. With one out in the eighth, he ran a long way into the gap in left-center to grab David Ross’ fly and then spilled onto the warning track. Cubs rookie Kris Bryant launched a long fly with two outs in the ninth, but Herrera raced back and managed to lean for-

I feel proud to be part of it,” Herrera said through a translator. Hamels had a big smile on his face as he hugged Howard and Ruiz after the final out. The rest of the Phillies then mobbed the pitcher near the mound while the crowd of 41,863 delivered a long standing ovation. “He looked like he was extremely focused,” Mackanin said. “He looked focused in the past and I think he may have been trying too hard not to pitch poorly. I think he just made his mind up that he is going to be who he is and ‘I’m going to do what I do best.’ He looked like he was on a mission.” Before Saturday’s outing, it looked as if all the trade rumors were taking a toll on the usually dependable Hamels. He allowed 14 runs and 20 hits over 6 1-3 innings in his previous two starts. But Hamels said he likes pitching in Chicago, and it showed. He snapped a nine-game winless streak, which matched a career high. “Just being able to pound the zone. That’s what I wanted to do today,” Hamels said. “I wasn’t doing it too well the last couple of games. I was able to get ahead and make them swing at bad pitches.”

MLB ROUNDUP

Martinez outduels Miller as Cards edge Braves 1-0 ST. LOUIS — Pinchhitter Stephen Piscotty got his first career RBI with a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and Carlos Martinez outdueled former teammate Shelby MillMARTINEZ er as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Atlanta Braves 1-0 on Saturday night. The CarMILLER dinals won their fifth in a row despite getting just two hits. They lead the majors with a 63-34 record. Martinez (11-4) made his first post-All-Star break start and allowed six hits in eight innings with six strikeouts and one walk, which was intentional. He worked the last four innings and took the loss in an 18-inning setback to the Mets on Sunday. Randy Choate got the last two outs for his first save. Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal has got-

ten two games off after working three in a row. Miller (5-7) allowed a run on two hits in 7 1/3 innings. The right-hander is 0-6 in his last 12 games, the longest winless slump by a Braves starter since Kenshin Kawakami went 14 games between victories in 2010.

Bumgarner (11-5) homered on a 3-2 pitch from A’s starter Chris Bassitt (0-3) in the third. He also struck out seven while working past the sixth inning — something he failed to do in each of his previous three starts.

MVP Moore leads West to WNBA All-Star victory UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Maya Moore scored a record 30 points to lead the West to a 117-112 victory over the East on Saturday in the WNBA All-Star Game. The league’s reigning MVP scored eight straight points in the final 2 minutes to turn a one-point deficit into a 113-106 advantage. After a basket by the East cut it to a four-point game, the Minnesota forward hit another deep 3 to seal the victory. The West’s victory was the All-Star swan song for Indiana star Tamika Catchings, who has played in a record 10 of them. While Catchings played in her All-Star finale, the future of the league is bright with so many talented young stars, including Griner and the league’s leading scorer Elena Delle Donne. Griner finished with 21 points for the West.

KYLE BUSCH USES LATE PASS TO WIN XFINITY RACE INDIANAPOLIS — Kyle Busch took advantage of Ryan Blaney’s last-lap bobble, making an inside pass on the back straightaway to win the Xfinity Series race Saturday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Busch raced to his second Xfinity Series victory in three years at Indianapolis — both from the pole — and pushed his series-record victory total to 72. The margin of 0.421 seconds was the closest in the four races held on the historic 2.5-mile oval.

CANADA’S HEARN LEADS CANADIAN OPEN OAKVILLE, Ontario — David Hearn moved into position to become the first Canadian to win the Canadian Open in 61 years, taking a 2-stroke lead over Bubba Watson and Jason Day on Saturday.

BUSCH FROM PAGE B1 from a gruesome injury suffered in the Xfinity Series race the day before the season-opening Daytona 500. Busch broke his right leg and left foot and missed the first 11 Cup races. Busch isn’t where he needs to be in the standings quite yet. His three wins are certainly enough to land him in the Chase, but he is still outside the top 30 in points, which is the second major qualifier for competing for the title in the final 10 races of the season. Busch won at Sonoma Raceway, and went back-toback at Kentucky Speedway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway. He is 33rd in the standings, 58 points behind David Gilliland for 30th. He has seven races left to crack the top 30 before the Chase opens Sept. 20 at Chicagoland Speedway. Victory lane sure beats a hospital bed. “At first I was like, `I’m never going to race again and I don’t know what I’m going to do,’’’ Busch said.

“All those things go through your mind. You just continue to power through and listen to your doctors and those that are around you. I wouldn’t call it painless, there was certainly a lot of pain, but it went really, really well as far as you could say any injury healing goes.’’ Busch shaved an astounding 115 points off the deficit during the past four races and is not only a threat to qualify for the Chase — but to win it all in the No. 18 Toyota for JGR should he crack the 16-driver field. “I feel like there’s an opportunity now to be able to completely kill the deficit, probably two races before the cutoff,’’ Busch said. Even with the delayed start, Busch and first-year Cup crew chief Adam Stevens have found fast chemistry on Sundays. Stevens got the call in part due to his success with Busch in NASCAR’s second-tier series, where he called the shots for him the last two seasons. “He’s been a great leader so far,’’ Busch said. Stevens said after New Hampshire he thought the

team could win the championship. It would be the first one of the series for Busch. “I feel like we’ve shown that we have speed and we have solid cars,’’ Stevens said. “Since Kyle’s come back, maybe it’s put a little bit more speed in them.’’ Busch kept the good times going on Saturday: He won the pole for the Xfinity Series race and announced his return to the Truck Series. Busch, who won 42 times in the series, including seven times last year, will race next weekend at Pocono Raceway. The comeback rolls on. “In sports you do see stories like this where somebody is really hurt, then to be able to come back in this amount of time, it’s a special story,’’ Gibbs said. Busch’s 32 victories in the Cup Series have come at 17 of the 23 race tracks. Indy isn’t one of them, though Busch has hardly been a bust here — he was the runner-up two of the last three years. He has five straight top 10s at Indy and eight overall dating to his first one in 2005. “I’d love nothing more than to win some of these big races,’’ Busch said.

LEGION STATE TOURNAMENT

THE SUMTER ITEM

West, Union walk off vs. Murrells Inlet RBI single in 9th caps 2-run rally for Upper state top seed Post 22 BY EDDIE LITAKER Special To The Sumter Item Upper state No. 1 seed Union Post 22 found itself in a tussle as it opened play in the American Legion baseball state tournament at Riley Park on Saturday, with a pesky Murrells Inlet squad. Post 178 rallied from a 5-1 deficit to take a 6-5 lead in the top of the eighth. Post 22 failed to score in its half of the eighth, but won the game with two runs in the bottom of the ninth for a 7-6 victory. “I think when we went ahead of them we got too relaxed, and they’re a scrappy team,” said Union assistant coach Jay Ford, whose team will take a 22-7 record into a 4 p.m. matchup today against Chapin/Newberry. “They came back on us and went ahead of us. When they went ahead of us, our guys got a little more fire under their butt and decided they don’t want to go home. They want to stay here and take a chance at winning this thing.” The winning rally began with a David Burress single, a Charles Johnson sacrifice bunt and an RBI single from Bryan Arnold. With the score tied, A.J. Hunter hit what could have been a tailor-made double play grounder up the middle, but shortstop Nick DelBianco couldn’t handle the ball, letting it through to put runners on the corners. After an intentional walk to Graham Lawson, Michael Todd Harris lifted a fly ball to center for the inning’s second out. Dustin West then delivered a walk-off single up the middle to bring Arnold home with the winning run. Murrells Inlet head coach Thomas Sheehan credited his team’s comeback with the fact that “we stopped shooting ourselves in the foot. “I hate to say it, but we dominated the game, on the scoreboard, everything,” Sheehan said of a game that saw his team outhit Union 10-7 but walk three, hit one and commit six errors. “We just kept making error after error after error. From the fourth or fifth inning to the ninth we played solid baseball and showed you what kind of a ball team we can be. Then in the ninth inning we shot ourselves in the foot, big time.” DelBianco had been an offensive catalyst for Post 178 throughout the game, reaching base in four of five plate appearances. The University of South Carolina Salkehatchie signee ended with three singles, reached on an error and

Sometimes he struggles at the plate, but he’s just a scrappy ball player, a prototypical MI baseball player.” Union took an early lead as Johnson led off the bottom of the first with a 4-pitch walk off Murrells Inlet starter Sam McKinney. Johnson advanced to second on Arnold’s sacrifice bunt, took third on a passed ball and scored as Hunter reached on an infield error. Murrells Inlet tied the score in the top of the second after a

1-out single by DelBianco. He stole second, advanced to third on a throwing error and scored on a Devin Melko grounder. Union batted around in its half of the third, plating four runs and leaving two stranded. Johnson was hit by a McKinney pitch, took second as Arnold reached on an infield error and went to third on a Hunter infield grounder. After an intentional walk to Lawson, Johnson scored on a passed ball. A Harris single plated Arnold, with Lawson taking third as West reached on a ball that Murrells Inlet third baseman Finn Melko apparently lost in the sun. A Jason Taylor single sent Lawson home for a 5-1 Union lead. Post 178 put up two runs in the fifth and one in the sev-

C/N FROM PAGE B1 “We were kind of sluggish, but once we got going we were pretty good,” he added. “(Post 109 starting pitcher Alex) Raines is a good pitcher. We knew it wouldn’t be easy.” The right-handed Raines had held C/N to just three hits through the first five innings. However, Chapin got its bats going in the sixth and used a couple of well-placed Gaffney errors to plate four runs. Ryan Stoudemire led off with a single and went to third on a Landon Allison single. Stoudemire scored when the ball got away from Gaffney catcher Josh Serano while he was trying to make a throw back to Raines. Allison scored when he went to third on a wild pitch and Serano threw the ball into left field. That made it 4-3, but C/N wasn’t done. Kevis Burton singled and Andrew Livingston drew a walk before Zack Ziesing moved them up a base with a deep fly ball to right. Leadoff hitter Danton Hyman delivered them with a 2-out single to give Gaffney its first lead at 6-5, ending Raines’ time on the mound. “I hate that we let it get away from us like that,” said Post 109 head coach Terry Wright, whose team fell to 23-9. “We were in control for five innings, but they got a

enth before scoring twice in the top of the eighth to take their short-lived lead. The eighth-inning rally came with two outs, beginning with singles by Drake Martin and DelBianco and a hit by pitch to Devin Melko to load the bases. A Wesley Lane single to right scored Martin to tie the game and a bases-loaded walk to Buck Bacot put Murrells Inlet on top. The inning ended with Finn Melko striking out swinging. Murrell’s Inlet drops to 15-12 on the season and plays Gaffney, an 8-5 loser on Saturday to Chapin/Newberry, in a 1 p.m. elimination game today.

couple of hits and we made a couple of errors that opened the door for them.” C/N got insurance runs on an RBI single by Livingston in the seventh and a 2-out solo home run in the eighth by Justin Hawkins, the USC Sumter shortstop. “We never did feel panicked,” said Hawkins, who was just 1-for-5 but hit two other fly balls to the warning track in dead center. “(Chapin starting pitcher Ryne Huggins) made a couple of mistakes early and we made a

couple of mistakes behind him, but we thought we could come back. “We didn’t have a really tough region; Gaffney is the best team we’ve faced this season,” he added. “He (Raines) is the best pitcher we’ve faced. We knew this would be a tough game.” Gaffney got runners in scoring position in each of the first two innings against the left-handed Huggins, but were unable to capitalize. Post 109 was able to get to the Clemson commitment in each of the

next three innings with a little help from the C/N defense. Huggins walked Damian Eubanks to start the third and Chris Clary pushed a bunt between Huggins and first baseman Stoudemire for a hit. Raines put down a bunt to move the runners in scoring position, but he reached when first base was left uncovered. After Sereno hit into a fielder’s choice to force Eubanks at the plate, Huggins hit cleanup hitter Houston Wright with a pitch to force in Clary. Camron Farley’s sacri-

the second out of the second inning and moved with a considerable limp for the remainder of the game, closed the game with six more fly ball putouts for Post 22. “Roper’s been here since 2013 and he’s one of our veteran guys, been here longer than most of them, and he wants to win this thing,” Ford said of Roper, who suffered a sprained ankle on the second-inning putout. “He’s going to put everything into it. There’s no tomorrow for him, he’s wanting to win it all. He gave us a great effort out there, running the ball down. He’s probably our biggest arm in the outfield, and they took his legs away, but he still fought for us. He told me, ‘Coach, I’m good, I’ll make it through.’”

fice fly delivered Raines to make it 2-0. Jacob Marcengill led off the Gaffney fourth with a single and went to second on a throwing error. Jackson Propst put down a bunt, but Marcengill got hung up between second and third. However, Chapin catcher Blake Smith threw the ball away, putting runners on second and third. Eubanks followed with a 2-run double to make it 4-1. Post 109’s Colby Crow slapped a 2-out, solo home run in the fifth to make it 5-1. Huggins settled down after that, allowing just one hit over the final four innings. Huggins went the distance, giving up eight hits, a walk and a hit batter while striking out 11. “One thing I’ve learned is that if you’re going to get Ryne you have to get him early,” Gregory said. “If he’s still in the game after the first few innings, he’s going to be real tough the rest of the way.” Clary, Raines and Crow each had two hits for Gaffney. Crow had a double as well as the homer. Hyman had two hits and two runs batted in for Chapin. Burton had two hits, Spangler had two RBI and Livingston scored twice. Chapin faces Union today at 4 p.m. in a winners bracket game. Gaffney will meet Murrells at 1 p.m. in an elimination game.

tie. “Jacob was mad after he gave up that triple,” said Campbell, whose team improved to 24-5 on the season. Watcher said he changed his approach with that trio at that point. “I’d been working them with offspeed pitches,” said Watcher, who improved to 6-0 on the season. “I decided to go after them with fastballs. I was spotting them on the outside and fortunately they were swinging at them.” Post 20 head coach Mack Hite pulled left-handed starting pitcher Bryce Bearden to start the eighth in favor of righthander Alex Gurley, who was around 100 pitches. It didn’t take long for the P-15’s to figure Gurley out as Dawson Price sent his first pitch to the left field wall for a double. Javon Martin reached on a throwing error on a sacrifice bunt, sending Price to third. Gurley picked Martin off of first base, but Philip Watcher hit a line shot over the head of center fielder Andrew Sargent for a run-scoring triple to make it 3-2. Jacob Watcher followed with a double to left-center to drive in his brother for a 4-2 advantage. “He was more of what we’ve been used to seeing,” Jacob Watcher said of Gurley. “I think we’ve seen maybe two left-handers all season. When he came in, we were familiar with him.” Hite said Gurley has been his top pitcher out of the bullpen all season. “Our bullpen has been great all year, and he’s been our No. 1 reliever,” said Hite, whose team dropped to 24-6. “Give Sumter credit; they hit our relievers and we didn’t hit theirs.” With Jacob Watcher at 115 pitches, Campbell brought in Matthew Miles in relief. The right-hander gave up just an infield single in the eighth, but Miles gave up a single to Hamp Fallan and walked Minick to start the ninth. Campbell brought in sidearming righty Taylor Finley. He got Burton to pop up a bunt and made a hustling play to snag it in foul territory. He walked Smith to load the bases but got Wright to pop up and caught Sargent looking for the final out. Greenwood left 14 runners on base as did the P-15’s. Sumter never did have a 1-2-3 inning and Watcher wiggled out of a number of jams. After Sumter scored two runs

We just decided that Weston with his offspeed and his control gave us a good matchup for this game and let him work his offspeed where guys are reaching out and popping out or rolling over on him and felt that was a better matchup.” Lancaster, now 14-13 on the season, will take on the loser between Sumter and Greenwood at 9 a.m. today in an elimination game. Florence, now 28-4, takes on the SumterGreenwood winner at 7 p.m. today. Post 1 spotted Rogers a 4-0 lead after the first two innings of play, but Rogers helped himself with a bases-loaded RBI single to make it a 5-0 game in an 8-run fourth inning. Ke’Shaun Samuel, Jackson Williams and Grayson Cottingham each drew basesloaded walks pushed the lead to 8-0 and signified the end of the day for Lancaster reliever Gage Hinson. Cal Butler had an RBI ground out off of Post 31 reliever Trevor Cauthen to push the lead to 9-0. After a walk to Cody Green loaded the bases with two outs, Patrick Herring hit a 3-run double to push the lead to 12-0. Lancaster, the No. 4 seed from the upper state, found itself down 2-0 as Florence took

in the first, the Braves got a run back against Watcher in the third, but it could have been much worse. Wyatt Owens led off with a single and Cody Adams reached on a bunt single when no one covered first. A throwing error by third baseman River Soles on Fallan’s sacrifice bunt loaded the bases with no out. Minick singled to score Owens and leave the bases jammed with no outs. However, Watcher struck out Burton, retired Smith on a shallow fly to right field and got Wright to fly out to center. Greenwood tied the game in the fifth. Minick doubled with one out and scored on a 2-out single by Wright. In the sixth, Adams doubled with two outs and Fallan followed with a single to left. However, Sumter left fielder Ryan Touchberry came up throwing and threw a strike to catcher Todd Larrimer and he tagged out Adams. “It wasn’t my best game tonight,” Jacob Watcher said. “But we made the plays when we had to. That throw Ryan made was tremendous.” Watcher allowed eight hits while striking out eight and walking two. Bearden also allowed eight hits in seven innings, striking out four, walking three and hitting two. “He did a good job of keeping us off balance,” Campbell said of Bearden. The P-15’s pushed across two runs in the first, but missed out on a huge inning. Philip Watcher was hit by the left-hander to start the game and Jacob Watcher drew a walk. Bearden bounced back to get Soles to fly out and Kemper Patton to hit into a fielder’s choice, leaving runners on the corners. Philip Watcher scored on a passed ball and Larrimer had an RBI single to deliver Patton. Touchberry was hit by a pitch and Courtland Howard singled to load the bases, but Bearden struck out Price to end the inning. Sumter was the visiting team in the third base dugout since it is the lower No. 3 seed compared to Greenwood being the upper No. 2 seed. Owens also had three hits for Greenwood and Fallan had two. After striking out in his first three at-bats, Price added two doubles. Martin and Larrimer also had two hits.

Samuel had an RBI single and Grayson Cottingham had a 2-out sacrifice fly to leftfield. Post 1 added two runs in the second inning. Patrick Lovelace had a sacrifice fly and Melquan Depugh scored on a double steal to push its lead to 4-0. “We played like crap, but hats off to the umpire,” Lancaster Post 31 head coach Paul Caskey said. “You have to adjust when (the umpire’s) calling (the game) like that, but we struggled with the bats. We wanted to focus too much on what the umpire was doing rather than adjust, but you’ve got to adjust when the umpire is doing what he’s doing and start swinging the bat and we never adjusted to that.”

Lancaster nearly got back into the game in the sixth and seven innings. They had runners on first and third in the sixth with one out, but managed no runs. In the seventh, it loaded the bases with one out as Post 1 reliever Austin Moody allowed three straight singles, but he pitched out of it with a strikeout and a ground out. “I hope (stringing three hits together in the ninth inning) did something to the boys,” Caskey said. “Our boys were flat and they worried about (the umpiring) too much rather than playing ball, so we’ll try it again in the morning and see what happens.” Rogers, Samuel and Herring had six of Post 1’s eight hits to lead the offense. James Gardner had two hits to lead Lancaster.

Not many people are fortunate enough to develop a lifelong learning relationship with their master teacher for 21 years now.” Johnson noted that Palmetto Voices will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year, and Sepulveda added that the choir is “preparing for a tour of Scotland, Ireland and England in the summer of 2017.”

Sepulveda is former SC Choral Festival Chairman and served as SC All-State chairwoman for four years. She also served as her state ACDA Chairman for Jazz and Show Choirs. Her choirs have toured Europe, Mexico and Canada and have performed concerts for the National Cathedral, Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, the Lincoln Center, South Carolina Music Educators Association (SCMEA), National American Choral Directors Association (ACDA), Southern Division ACDA and the Music Educators National Conference (MENC). She conducted, as well as sang, choral parts for the ABC mini-series, “North and South.” Sepulveda sang with the Robert Shaw Festival Chorus for eight years, as well as with the Carnegie Hall Chorus in 2000 and 2002. She is well known for her work with youth choruses and is in demand as a choral adjudicator and clinician.

Grandma’s pictures don’t make Fletcher-Gibson the cut in Mom’s memory book WEDDING

DEAR ABBY — Throughout my three grandchildren’s lives, I have picked Dear Abby them up ABIGAIL from VAN BUREN school, and attended school functions, games and activities in which they have participated. Their parents work, and I was helping out. I have given them money for camps, clothes for all changes of season, and anything they especially needed or wanted. I baby-sat after school and on weekends while my daughter-in-law, “Kathy,” went to “memory book classes” and special scrapbooking lessons. I’m always at her beck and call. I do anything I am asked, even if I must rearrange my own schedule. The oldest grandchild graduated this year, and Kathy had photos out and memory books displayed for everyone to see. As I glanced through, I noticed there were no pictures of me with the kids nor any from our side of the family. My son (their father) was barely in any of them, either. There were plenty of photos with Kathy, her mom and her siblings. Although

Kathy has a nice camera and has snapped pictures of us, none made it into the memory books. I am truly hurt. When the children look back in years to come, it will be as if we were never in their lives. They will see only one side of their family tree. They have other cousins, aunts and uncles they will not remember. Am I wrong to feel hurt that we were left out of the children’s memory book family? Grandma on the wrong side DEAR GRANDMA — No, I don’t think you’re wrong. And I think you should tell your daughter-in-law how you feel, because there is nothing I can do to rectify it. If Kathy is unwilling or unable to amend her memory books, consider getting ahold of some of the more accurate — and inclusive — “rejects” that should have been included and creating a few photo albums of your own. And another thought: Please don’t think your grandchildren will forget you because you don’t appear in their mother’s memory books. You have been such a constant, loving, supportive and important presence in their lives that such a thing would be impossible. While their mom

is capturing the memories, you are creating them. DEAR ABBY — I recently married “Ron,” a widower. His wife “Marianne” died three years ago. They had a solid, happy marriage. Ron’s father had a heart attack and died at their wedding reception. Ron had a tattoo put on his arm — “E.R.M.” and the date. The letters stand for his father (“Erwin”), Ron and Marianne. The date is their wedding date. Ron says that on that day the three of them were eternally bound. I don’t like the tattoo, but Ron adamantly refuses to have it removed. I’m mostly unhappy about Ron’s feeling that there’s an eternal bond between him, his late wife and his father. Am I unreasonable for wanting him to remove it? Inked out West DEAR INKED — Yes! It’s a huge mistake to compete with dead people. It is understandable that your husband would feel love for his deceased wife and father. That love is part of why he’s the person he is today — the man you fell in love with. The sooner you learn to appreciate him for all the love in his heart, the healthier your marriage will be.

Big Green Monster cukes? Rooftop garden thrives at Fenway BY RODRIQUE NGOWI The Associated Press BOSTON — There’s more green at Fenway Park than the infield or the monster wall. The Red Sox are growing vegetables and herbs in a rooftop garden. The produce is used in food and cocktails sold at the concessions, at nearby restaurants and in the team’s flagship restaurant that prepares meals for about 40,000 people during home games. The 5,000-square-foot garden on the third-base side of Fenway has turned a previously unused part of the historic stadium into the largest of a handful of farms that have sprouted up in Major League Baseball stadiums, said Chris Knight, manager of facilities services and planning for the Red Sox. The sight of a lush, green garden on the third level of the stadium excited Sox fan John Bunker, who recently traveled from his home in Palermo, Maine, to see the team in action and make a pilgrimage to the rooftop farm. “This is great because although a lot of people love to come to Fenway and eat a hot dog, some people don’t want to eat a hot dog; they want to eat something else — maybe a salad or a wrap with vegetables in it,” Bunker said. The garden is unique because the crops are grown in milk crates, which make it possible to move the farm if needed, said Jessie Banhazl, whose company, Green City Growers, is responsible for planting and maintaining the garden. Growers use intensive methods, including drip irrigation and planting fresh crops right after others are harvested. That’s enabled the garden to

Fenway Park executive chef Ron Abell, left, talks about the produce growing in a rooftop garden on the third-base side of Fenway Park in Boston. Produce grown in the 5,000-square-foot garden is used in food and cocktails sold at the concessions, at nearby restaurants and in the team’s flagship restaurant that prepares meals for about 40,000 people during home games.

Green City Growers: http:// greencitygrowers.com Boston Red Sox: http://redsox.com yield more than 2,000 pounds of tomatoes, cucumber, eggplants, all sorts of peppers, rosemary, basil, dill, parsley, tarragon and kale in the first three months, Banhazl said. “So we’re growing a little bit of everything,” she said. “It’s our first year doing the farm,

and so we thought we’d try out a bunch of different varieties to see what the kitchens were using, and also to just kind of experiment with what people liked.” Starting a farm at the iconic ballpark required checking the structural integrity of the roof and using lightweight soil, Banhazl said. Growing crops atop a stadium packed with screaming fans can be distracting. Some, surprised to see a garden on the roof, wander over to ask questions. “But we actually really enjoy that part of it. Being

able to engage with the public is a huge reason why we do what we do,” she said. Determining what’s grown involves consultations with chefs at the Red Sox flagship EMC Club restaurant. “I’ve been here since 2006, and along with that came that farm-to-table mentality,” said Rob Abell, senior executive chef at Fenway concessionaire Aramark, who oversees food preparations at the restaurant. “For years we’ve been using all the local farmers — you know, kind of creating our dishes with what’s in season

and making sure that food doesn’t travel too far to get to us,” he said. “Well, it’s ridiculous how close it is now because literally it’s about 150 feet from us.” “A lot of folks come to Fenway Park, and maybe it’s a day they’re eating our delicious hot dogs and sausages and pizza and chicken tenders,” Abell said. “But there are still thousands of people looking for something healthy, and it’s just great to be able to give them that opportunity to go eat healthy at the ballpark if that’s what they want to do.”

championship game, which saw Cook pitching the first eight innings and producing one of Mayesville’s five hits. This was Mayesville High’s second consecutive state championship in baseball. In

the course of one calendar year he had played on two state championship teams and established himself as one of the best hitters and pitchers to play high school ball in Sumter County.

Following graduation Cook enrolled at the University of South Carolina where he remained until, like most young men of his era, he enlisted in the military with the onset of World War II. He remained in the military until 1945, serving in the Army Air Corps as a bombardier. Cook returned home to Mayesville where he became a farmer, husband and father of two children. He was very active in his church (Bethel Baptist) and was “instrumental in the design and building of Little Bethel.” Cook has a special place in Sumter County’s sports history. Like many great athletes, who are often lost in the pages of time, his accomplishments should not be forgotten. Due to the war he did not have a professional career; however, his efforts on the playing field helped establish the respect Sumter County athletes have amassed in the state and nation. Cook died at an early age following a brief illness. He lived his life, like he played the game he loved, with respect and humility.

After 35 years in business, Stanley Welch will close his store in the next two to three months. “I always praise the Lord for everything but especially for my clients,” Stanley Welch said.

Clothing shop will close after 35 years BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com After more than three decades, Stanley Welch Clothiers will be closing its doors in the next 60 to 90 days, said owner Stanley Welch. “I have been here 35 years and seen a lot of crazy stuff,” he said. During those years, Welch said he prospered because of his unique way of doing things. “The way I look at things and do things is a little differently; that has made my life a success,” he said. “Everybody is looking for something different.” Welch said what he has most enjoyed was building relationships with his clients, who live not only in Sumter, but also throughout South Carolina and the Southeast. “I’ve enjoyed educating my customers on how to build their wardrobe around their lifestyle,” he said. “Everybody has a different lifestyle, and you should suit who you are. “I have had such unbelievable friendships, and my customers have been so loyal.” Former South Carolina state Sen. John Land said he has bought clothes from Welch since before he had his own shop. “He was always just wonderful,” Land said. “He always stayed current and STANLEY WELCH bought goodquality stuff. It was a pleasure doing business with him.” Land said he was always a “fair person of outstanding character and

a great salesman.” “I remember he knew my exact size,” Land said. “Sometimes he would come by my office in Manning and leave two sets of clothing that would fit me perfectly, right down to the shoes. Then I had to decide whether to keep them or take them back,” Land said. “I usually kept them.” Land said he considers Welch a close friend. “He is a great haberdasher who knows his business well,” he said. Welch has also been loyal to his hometown as much as his customers

have been loyal to him. “People tell me I should have moved my store to Charleston or Greenville,” he said. Welch did not want to leave Sumter, he said. “Sumter is a unique town,” he said. “Being in the town you grew up in has been more important to me than being somewhere I didn’t grow up in.” Welch was raised in a business family, as his mother ran The Children’s Store on Main Street where he said he often helped his mom in the shop. “I knew the Lord wanted me to be in this business,” he said. His parents grew up in Turbeville, and he fondly recalled spending time on his grandfather’s farm there. “I learned to love horses,” he said. “I love to ride horses.” Welch was a football player in high school and played on the legendary

1969 Edmunds High School team which was undefeated and untied and won the state championship. “I was a running back along with C.A. Wilson,” he said. “The newspapers always called us the ‘Golden Twins,’ even though I am white and he is black.” After graduating high school, Welch said he turned down a full scholarship at Appalachian State because he wanted to go to a bigger school. “That was one of my worst mistakes,” he said. Instead he played football for a year at Gordon Military College in Augusta. Welch, however, said he was too small to get anywhere in college football. The last game of the season was at University of Tennessee, he said, and he called his dad and told him he should come see the game because it would be his last. “The big college players were beating me up,” he said. “My dad said, ‘Well, you’re fast; you can outrun them.’” “‘That’s what I have been doing,’” he replied. “I promised him I would score two touchdowns if he came, and I did.” A few years later, Welch was attending a Wilson Hall basketball game with a friend when he was stricken by one of the cheerleaders. He knew her father, legendary P-15’s baseball coach Bernie Jones, and he asked the girl if she would ask her father if he could take her out even though he was five years older. “He said ‘yes,’” Welch said. After dating on and off for a while, he said, he married Millie Jones. They have three daughters and four grandchildren, all boys. Welch said his wife never cared much for the clothing business and instead is a school teacher. After college, Welch said he inquired about a job at one of the area’s finest clothiers, Abram Brodie. “I thought it would be hard to get a job with him,” Welch said. “I called him, and he said he knew who I was and to be at work in the morning.” Welch wanted to open his own store, and when the building on Guignard Drive became available in 1980, he jumped at the chance. The store has been a fixture in Sumter since then. Welch said he will miss taking care of his clients. “We have had so much laughter and fun,” he said. “I always praise the Lord for everything but especially for my clients.”

Statewide changes to season may help turkeys rebound

got a call from Cuz the other day inviting me to accompany him to Lake Murray for a striper fishing expedition. It sounded like something I’d like, so I climbed on board the train. We might as well have taken our shotguns instead of our fishing rods, because it turned into a wild goose chase instead of a fishing trip; we still had a great time and I’d go again, even knowing we might not catch anything. So, Cuz and Allan were waiting on me when I got to Cuz’s house, and they had the boat all loaded and ready to go; all I had to do was climb in. Since it’s about an hour from Cuz’s house to Lake Murray, the bunch of us got to catch up on the kids and the things of the world, Allan brought up the prospect of some new turkey hunting regulations, of which our perceived pros and cons were extensively discussed. I had not heard of any activity on the subject, so when I got home, I went to South Carolinas’s legislative website and found the law that we were discussing. Yep, change is a comin’, and most of us will like what we hear. The amendment reads, “Section 5011-580. (A) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 50-11-520 or any other

provision of law or regulation, the season for hunting and taking a male wild turkey is March 20 through May 5th.” How about that — a few extra days to chase birds! It has Earle been my experience Woodward that the birds seem to AFIELD & work a little bit better in the early AFLOAT spring. There just doesn’t seem to be as many hens available to occupy the time of the gobblers, making them more susceptible to my calls. That may not be the way it is everywhere, but that’s how it is where I hunt. This new provision is statewide, which means that you aren’t going to have to worry if you’ve strayed across an invisible county line somewhere and are then hunting out of season. The annual “Youth Turkey Hunting Weekend” will be on the Saturday and Sunday before March 20th. As we all know, if the government gives you something, then there is a very good likelihood that they are going to take something from you, and in this case it’s birds. The season bag limit has been lowered from five

USDA: Bird flu vaccine works on chickens; testing continues BY DAVID PITT The Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa — Scientists have developed a vaccine strain that has tested 100 percent effective in protecting chickens from bird flu and testing is underway to see if it also protects turkeys, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told the House Agriculture Committee at a hearing on Wednesday. If it does, the agency plans to quickly license it for widespread production and is seeking funding from the Office of Management and Budget to stockpile it nationally. “Hopefully we’ll be able to get a lot of folks working collaboratively together and we stockpile enough so that if this does hit and hits us hard we’re in a position to respond quickly,” Vilsack said.

Developing a vaccine targeted to the H5N2 virus that has killed 48 million birds since early March in 15 states, including hardest-hit Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska, is one aspect of planning for a potential recurrence of the bird flu, Vilsack said. Scientists believe the virus was spread through the droppings of wild birds migrating north to nesting grounds. They’re concerned it could return this fall when birds fly south for the winter or again next spring. While this year Midwest turkey and egg farms were hit hardest, the industry that raises chickens for meat in the southern and eastern states including Alabama, Arkansas and Georgia is worried it could spread there. Still not all poultry producers are on the

same page when it comes to using vaccine to fight an outbreak. Turkey producers tend to favor vaccination to protect flocks because turkey immune systems appear more vulnerable to viruses. Some egg producers and farmers who raise broilers — chickens produced for meat — often resist vaccination programs because of the possible impact on export markets. U.S. producers export nearly $6 billion worth of poultry and egg products yearly with about $5 billion of that chicken meat. “There are many unanswered questions that must be addressed before any strong consideration is given to a vaccination program,” said Tom Super, a spokesman for the National Chicken Council, which represents producers of 95 percent of the U.S. broilers sold.

birds to three birds, but that is statewide. So, for a person that has always hunted in a county that had a twobird limit, you just got a one-bird increase. The birds have had a rough couple of years because of weather conditions in the spring, cold weather, heavy rain, no rain — it’s been a real problem for them, and the numbers of poults surviving to see adulthood has fallen during that time, so I really don’t have a problem with a reduced limit. To be brutally honest with you, I’ve never been able to take more than two birds a season anyway, so having a chance at three is still a bonus to me. The daily bag limit of two birds per day is also statewide. While doing my research, I also learned that this coming year, the state will no longer be comprised of 6 “game zones”, but will have them consolidated into just 4, further eliminating some of the confusion about the seasons and limits that have to be deciphered when planning on going to another area to hunt. You’ll need to grab a copy of the next version of the “Rules and Regulations” booklet when it comes out to see exactly how everything fits together. It is always a good idea to do the work yourself. Don’t depend on what I’m reporting

as your sole source of information. I’ll be the first to tell you that I’ve been very wrong on occasion. I talked to DNR on this one, and I’m pretty sure I’ve got it right; but don’t let that stop you from checking it out yourself. Every game warden out there will tell you that there is no excuse for not knowing. I know we haven’t even started deer season yet, but cold weather will be here before we know it, and it will last forever, so March 20th is still a long way away; but while it was fresh on my mind, I felt like I might just as well share the information. One of the downsides that the three of us in the truck discussed was the youth hunt. If the 20th were to fall on a Sunday, then the Youth Hunt would back up to the prior Saturday, which would be a full week before, and given that turkeys in some parts of the state may still be in bachelor groups and not responding all that well to calls (even if you can find a bachelor group), it may work against the kids. Hey, if that’s the case, just pack Junior up on the 20th, and give him the first crack at whatever comes along. That’s way more important than you killing another bird! Enjoy it this coming season — it may not last forever!

Little man, big fish

PHOTO PROVIDED

Nine-year-old Cooper Scott caught a 25-pound blue catfish in the Diversion Canal between lakes Marion and Moultrie in Berkeley County on July 15.

FISHING REPORTS Santee Cooper System Largemouth bass: Slow to fair. Captain Linwood Thornhill reports that fishing continues to drop off as is customary at this time of year, but a few fish can still be caught around grass and cypress trees. For shallow fish he recommends frogs and plastic worms at this time of year. Lots of fish have moved out to drops in the 10-15 foot range, and for these fish Linwood suggests fishing a Carolina rig with a worm. Lake Wateree Catfish: Good. Captain Rodger Taylor reports that catfishing remains strong when there is current flowing, although at other times the bite can be slower. In the backs of the creeks, 2-8 pound fish can be caught, but bigger fish have been absent in the backs recently. Oddly, gizzard shad have been hard to find on Lake Wateree but cut herring will work as bait. Lake Murray Crappie: Fair to good. Captain Brad Taylor reports that as would be expected for the heat of summer crappie are in a brush pattern. While the depth seems to vary from day to day he has found the best fishing in 20-25 feet of water in the mid-lake area. While the better fish are being caught on jigs, for sheer numbers of fish minnows have been hard to beat. Largemouth bass: Fair. Lake World reports that first thing in the morning anglers can fish a buzzbait around the banks or look for fish schooling off long

points and feeding on baitfish that have moved up shallower overnight. Once the sun starts to get up, however, fishing has been a grind and the best pattern has been fishing soft plastics around brush in the 30-foot range. Lake Greenwood Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that as expected on Lake Greenwood the channel catfish bite remains good, and some really nice numbers of channel catfish are being caught in a pattern that should hold up for another month and a half. Chris advises drifting in out and of feeder creeks and coves in 5-18 feet of water with cut herring and shad. At the same time, anchoring on humps and points and fishing dip bait is also just as productive now. Lake Monticello Bass: Good. Lake Monticello in the summer is a true deep water bass fishery. Tournament angler Andy Wicker says that he spends most of his time targeting textbook main lake, deep water structure such as points, humps, and drops; even when he is fishing shallower there needs to be deep water nearby. His target depth range is 20-50 feet of water. Areas with brush seem to produce about the same number of fish as structure that has not had brush planted on it. In fact, one of the main impacts of brush is that it limits his lure choice. Instead of being able to fish his usual array of lures (deep diving

crankbaits, Alabama rigs, jigs, flutter spoons, and worms) he has to spend more time fishing the worm. Lake Russell Striped bass: Good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that based on current catch rates they are expecting this to be their best summer ever for striped bass. Fish are scattered out across the lake and anglers are catching a variety of different sizes of fish all over the lake, from north to south. Pretty much every area of the lake is producing, but the best catches have been coming off main channel points on down-lines fished in 20-25 feet of water. Action is still picking up in the tailrace below the Hartwell dam and Lake Secession, and anglers who want to fish up there should pull free-lines. Catfish: Good. Guide Jerry Kotal reports that catfishing is pretty good on Lake Russell, and his boat is catching good numbers of channel cats in the 1-5 pound range. Fish are scattered out in the backs of coves, creek channels and off points, with 8-20 feet of water being the best depth range. His boat is also picking up occasional flatheads, and while blues can also be found in Lake Russell they aren’t getting many of those. Lake Thurmond Crappie: Fair to good. Captain William Sasser reports that he has not been spending much time targeting crappie, but the fish are still stacked up along the river channel in the same pattern that

they have been in. Fish minnows 10 feet down over brush in 15-25 feet of water. Lake Wylie Largemouth Bass: Fair to good. FLW Professional and Guide Matt Arey reports that the pattern for catching largemouth bass has been very stable over the last few weeks, and overall the bite remains in the “fair to good” range. Basically, there continue to be two main patterns for catching bass on Lake Wylie right now, although as the summer progresses anglers should be on the lookout for schooling bass. These fish will either be over deep water or on flats near deep water, as at time they will move up shallow at night to feed. Outside of schooling fish, anglers should first look for fish offshore. Even though it’s been hot for a while now Matt says the offshore fishing is still pretty strong and the schools aren’t yet getting finicky (as they will be in August). Schools of fish will be found around humps, deep main lake points, the areas where creek channels swing in front of points, and other depth changes. Lots of fish will be found in 20-30 feet of water, but some will be in 15 feet of water near shallower areas. Deep diving crankbaits, football jigs, Hopkins spoons, Ol’ Monster worms and other big baits will still catch fish at this part of the season, although later in the summer as the fish become accustomed to the pressure fish will get finickier and schools will even relocate. Lake Hartwell Crappie: Slow to fair. Captain Bill Plumley

reports that crappie fishing remains pretty slow, but the fish that are being caught are around deep brush in about 25 feet of water. They are holding very tight to the brush and will eat minnows. Lake Keowee Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Fair. The best pattern right now is fishing for fish suspended around depth changes, including deep points, humps, and drops in 30 or more feet of water. They can also be related to nothing but bait schools. At times bass can be caught with at the top of the water column, and they can also be caught on drop shot rigs, Carolina rigs and shakey head worms. Soft plastics fished around deeper docks will also catch fish. Typically at this time of year there is a pretty good topwater bite around relatively shallow points first thing in the morning, but right now this bite is not as good as usual and you have to fish a lot of points to find feeding fish. Lake Jocassee Trout: Fair to good. Lake Jocassee trout fishing remains pretty strong. The intakes are still the place to fish first thing, but fish are very well spread out throughout the main body of water. Trolling both spoons and shiners 30-70 feet deep at speeds less than two miles per hour is most productive. Night fishing at the intakes has slowed down, but anglers putting out lights and suspending cut herring, nightcrawlers and medium shiners can still catch fish.
