ed-cockaded woodpeckers are peculiar creatures. They like to make their burrows, or clusters, in living longleaf pine trees, unlike other woodpecker species that prefer dead trees or branches. They live in family units of from two to six adults, with younger birds — especially males — hanging around to help the breeding pair raise subsequent broods. Each adult bird has its own cluster, a small cavity carved out of the trunk of a tree. Eggs are laid in

the cluster of the breeding male, where they are reared until they can fly. Such behaviors make them particularly susceptible to habitat loss, said Julie Hovis, endangered species manager for Shaw Air Force Base. A civilian employee of the Department of Defense, it is Hovis’ job to help the cardinal-sized denizens of old-growth forests maintain and increase their populations in buffer zones around Poinsett Bombing Range in Sumter County. On Wednesday, Hovis was taking a census of young woodpeckers near the Rosemary fire tower on the range, accompanied by the base’s Natural and Cultural Resources Chief Ron June. “I like to take a look at them when they are about 22 days old,”

Hovis said. She said they have their feathers by then, allowing her to tell whether they are male or female. “At about 26 days, HOVIS they are ready to fly, and I don’t want to scare them into fledging too early,” she said. She explained that a couple of weeks earlier she had visited the tree to band the birds for identification purposes at about one week old. Each cluster and each bird has unique colors that identify its family group and the year it was hatched. “With a spotting scope, we can tell who they are,” she said.

How much will your taxes rise? BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com With a proposed 2 mill increase for Sumter County ordinary millage, many home and business owners may wonder how that increase would impact their property tax. The county assessor and auditor have explained the property tax formula and process so that residents can calculate their property tax based on the specific values of their properties.

The market values of homes, businesses and land are determined by an employee of the county assessor’s office, and that value is used in a formula to calculate the amount of property taxes each resident or business owner will pay to the County Treasurer’s Office. Sumter County Assessor Jimmy Barfield said an employee from the assessor’s office will check the market value and selling success of similar properties in the area to determine individual property values.

He said additions to homes such as porches and other amenities could increase the value of a property. The market value of rental and commercial properties is based on the amount of income that is produced. Barfield said the county assessor’s office is required to reappraise all property in the county every five years, but a property owner can have his or her building or land

Long odds ahead now for Obama on troubled trade agenda BY ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The White House and Republican leaders in Congress face long odds in trying to revive trade legislation after a telling defeat engineered by President Obama’s fellow Democrats. Obama’s ambitious trade agenda is in serious doubt as is his quest for a capstone second-term achievement. Without the power to negotiate trade deals that Congress can approve or reject, but not amend, Obama has little chance of securing the Pacific Rim pact that his administration has worked toward for years.

Friday’s rebuff highlighted the strained relations between Obama and congressional Democrats, who voted down a worker assistance program crucial to the negotiating authority measure just hours after the president implored them not to. Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, had worked in rare tandem on this issue, yet their inability to deliver raises the question of whether much else will get done with Republicans running Congress and Obama in the White House for the next 18 months. “This isn’t over yet,” said Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, a main supporter of the trade legislation. “I’m hopeful that the Democrats understand the

consequences and get together with the president and finish this as soon as possible.” House GOP leaders took steps that would allow another vote on the worker retraining program in coming days, but that would require at least 90 votes to shift. Republicans sounded pessimistic that they could add many more votes for a program that most on their side deride as wasteful and unnecessary. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California and her labor-backed allies are determined to oppose the Trade Adjustment Assistance program as a way to collapse the entire package. So it seems unlikely that

enough Democratic votes would emerge to save the program, even though the party has promoted it for years. “Some of my Democratic colleagues are in danger of self-immolation” on the workers’ program and “I think that’s sad,” said Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Oregon, one of the few Democrats who backed Obama on Friday’s votes. Another possible route is to send revised legislation back to the Senate. But senators approved the larger package only narrowly last month after intense battles, and the White House desperately wants to avoid

Sheriff ’s office fires deputy after DUI charge BY COLLYN TAYLOR intern@theitem.com A Sumter County Sheriff’s Office deputy was fired after being arrested and charged Saturday for driving under the influence and an alcohol beverage control act violation for

having an open container in the car. According to a sheriff’s office news release, Robert Burnish, 28, was off-duty, not in a state-issued vehicle and was not carrying a sheriff’s office weapon when he was arrested Saturday night. He was arrest-

Man lying on U.S. 76 struck, killed MARION — Authorities say a man lying in the road was struck and killed in Marion. Marion County Coroner Jerry Richardson told media outlets that Michael Briggs Jr. was hit around

Spartanburg teen shoots deputy in eye SPARTANBURG — Authorities say an 18-year-old man has been arrested after shooting a Spartanburg County deputy in the eye with a pellet gun. Investigators told media outlets that the officer was investigating a suspicious fire around 2 a.m. Friday when Justin Hill ran toward him with a knife and a pellet rifle that looked a lot like a real gun. The deputy ordered Hill to drop the weapon several times, then shot the teen with his Taser. Prosecutors say the teen fired the pellet gun, and a pellet went into the officer’s eye socket, under his eyeball. A judge denied bond for Hill, who is charged with assault and battery with a high aggravated nature. Hill’s grandmother says the teen has mental problems that leave him acting more like an 11-year-old boy.

Much work remains before a S.C. state budget is possible COLUMBIA (AP) — South Carolina legislators’ chief responsibility when they reconvene Tuesday for a special session will be passing a state budget for the fiscal year that starts just two weeks later. But with parts of the budget package still up for debate on both chambers’ floors, it appears highly unlikely a final spending plan will be possible before July 1. A six-member committee of House and Senate members must reach a compromise on the chambers’ differing spending plans. But several steps must occur before the conferees say they’ll even hold another meeting. On Monday, the legislators concluded that trying to reach a compromise on the main spending plan is futile with two surplus spending bills unresolved. With so much work remaining, legislators are preparing to keep state government running after June 30 with a continuing resolution.

WHAT’S NEXT? The House will take up the Ways and Means Committee’s supplemental spending proposal, which includes $150 million for roadwork and $70 million toward incentives promised to Volvo. If the chamber approves the bill Tuesday, another vote is needed Wednesday to advance it to the Senate. Then that bill must go through the Senate Finance Committee before it reaches that chamber’s floor. While the Senate’s waiting on that bill, it will continue debating the socalled “capital reserves” bill that spends other one-time money. The House passed its version of that bill in March. The supplemental and capital reserves are the two bills that will be wrapped into the overall budget package. Meanwhile, senators will take up the resolution that would keep agencies open and employees paid if there’s no budget in place July 1. The House

passed the measure May 28. Senate President Pro Tem Hugh Leatherman, R-Florence, calls it insurance in case the budget gets even further bogged down, but other legislators speculate the budget debate will continue well into the summer. Even after legislators reach a compromise and send it Gov. Nikki Haley’s desk, more steps remain. By law, Haley has five days, excluding Sunday, to issue her line-item vetoes. The Legislature will then return to decide which vetoes to override.

House and Senate had passed their differing versions of how to spend $7 billion in state taxes to be collected next fiscal year. That additional money reflects taxes collected through April 30 above revised estimates and how that affects next year’s projections. The capital reserve bill spends roughly $100 million of revenue above advisers’ original projections for 2014-15. The capital reserve usually moves in tandem with the budget, but this year it got stuck in the Senate.

WHY SO MANY BUDGET BILLS?

The capital reserve bill got stuck because of debates over borrowing and road funding. As proposed by Senate Finance, the bill included borrowing $237 million, primarily for college construction, which Haley opposed. The borrowing portion ended up being killed on a technicality, with Lt. Gov. Henry McMaster ruling March 12 it wasn’t sufficiently related to the rest of the bill.

For the first time in 14 years, the budget package consists of three separate bills. That’s because House leaders chose to deal with more than $300 million in additional revenues in a supplemental budget bill. State economic advisers didn’t certify that money as available to spend in 2015-16 until May 29, after both the

Social media reveals more than your thoughts

ocial networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter are great ways to stay connected with friends and family and join groups of similar interests for motivation and support. It is one of the most powerful communication tools with nearly 75 perfect of Internet users active on various social networking sites. The posts we share say a lot about who we are, and psychological researchers are finding that social media can reveal your personality and potential for health risks as well as have a greater influence on your self-worth. A new study by psychologists in London revealed the way a person chooses to use social media says a lot about his or her personality. The

which can give them a sense of social inclusion and approval they may not get elsewhere. Gaining this approval from others can provide individuals with a higher sense of selfesteem, convincing themselves the recognition matters to their selfworth and value. Psychology experts say it can be a dangerous road if you begin to care too much about what others think. Refraining from posting your true feelings for fear that others will judge you or posting certain topics just to reach a particular number of “likes” can interfere with your own intuition. A study of the language used on Twitter posts found that those associated with anger, negative emotions and disengagement within a commu-

study revealed that those who posted frequently about their romantic partner had low self-esteem; narcissists used it as a platform to post more status updates about their diet and Missy exercise routine to Corrigan broadcast the effort they put into their physical appearance; and the trait of conscientiousness was associated with posting more updates about their children. Sites such as Facebook enhance the need for approval, using it to entertain an audience that is willing to listen. Some post updates to be rewarded with likes and comments,

nity had increased rates of heart disease. Fifty percent of media users in a study last year revealed that social networks made their lives worse, lowering their self-esteem when comparing their own accomplishments to others’ online or experiencing online confrontations. Social media, however you use it, influences your self-esteem and behaviors. It is a quick and convenient way to validate what you think, feel and do. But if you find yourself consumed with posting or checking your status multiple times throughout the day, empowered or even owned by your interactions through social media, then it may be time to disconnect for a while and have more face-to-face interactions with those around you.

Study: Rape prevention training can be effective

Texas Tech freshman Regan Elder helps drape a bed sheet with the message “No Means No” over the university’s seal at the Lubbock, Texas, campus in October 2014 to protest what students say is a “rape culture” on campus. AP FILE PHOTO

BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer The results are “startling,” said a prominent researcher on sex assault with no role in the study, University of Arizona psychologist Mary Koss. The study involved about 900 students, ages 17 to 24, at the universities of Windsor, Guelph and Calgary. It was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the University of Windsor. Results are in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine.

A program that taught college women ways to prevent sexual assault cut in half the chances they would be raped during the next year, a Canadian study found. It was the first large, scientific test of resistance training, and the strong results should spur more universities to offer it, experts say. Five percent of freshmen women who went through the four-session program said they had been raped during the following year, compared to 10 percent of others who were just given brochures on assault prevention. Attempted rapes also were lower — about 3 percent in the training group versus more than 9 percent of the others.

THE PROBLEM Researchers say as many as 20 percent of women are sexually assaulted during their college years with the risk greatest the first year. Women who have been assaulted in the past are more likely to be

acquaintances, she said. Women were randomly assigned to get either training or the kind of advice and brochures many colleges provide.

MEASURING SUCCESS One year after training ended, participants took an

online survey largely developed by Koss, the Arizona researcher, and widely used by other researchers. “It’s the best measure because it doesn’t label, it doesn’t say, ‘have you been raped,’ but asks about experiences such as penetration against the person’s will,” Senn said. Responses were grouped as completed rape, attempted rape, sexual coercion, attempted coercion or nonconsensual sexual contact.

THE TRAINING The study’s leader, psychologist Charlene Senn at University of Windsor, developed the program — four, three-hour sessions on recognizing danger, resisting pressure to have sex and physical self-defense. As opposed to strangers, “known men are responsible for 90 percent of the rapes on campus,” from dates to casual

Teen stroke survivor looks to play football again Jacob Lovejoy, a 16-year-old stroke survivor, is checked by Greenville Health System’s Children’s Hospital’s pediatric neurologist Dr. Emily Foster during a checkup visit on May 27.

BY LIV OSBY The Greenville News GREENVILLE — It was the middle of the school day, and Laurens High School football player Jacob Lovejoy was preparing to lift weights. After warming up, the Raiders left tackle was ready for a drink of water. But suddenly, he found he was unable to move his left arm or leg. He collapsed on the training room floor. “I couldn’t talk,” he said. “And one of my football coaches ... called the medical trainer at the school to take a look at me. He called 911.” Though he was only 16 years old, the high school sophomore had suffered a stroke. “I was kind of in shock,” said his mother, Kimberley Lovejoy. “I’m thinking there’s no possible way. You just don’t hear of it.” While most people think only the elderly are afflicted by strokes, children can get them too, said Dr. Rodney Leacock, the medical director of Greenville Health System’s Stroke Center who treated Jacob. “We classified it as a moderate-to-high stroke,” Leacock said of the Waterloo youth. “I told his father, if we don’t do anything, this could be quite disabling.” Nearly 800,000 people suffer a stroke nationwide each year, which translates to about 235 per 100,000 population, he said. In children, the risk of stroke is about 11 in 100,000 a year, according to the National Stroke Association. And boys and African-American children are at higher risk. Although pediatric strokes are infrequent, they remain among the top 10 causes of childhood death, Leacock said. In fact, between 20 percent and 40 percent of children die after suffering a stroke, he said. And of those who survive, six in 10 will have a permanent disability, such as partial paralysis or weakness, he said. The causes of stroke in children can include adult risk factors, like high blood pressure, Leacock said. But Sickle Cell disease, the narrowing of blood vessels in the brain, congenital heart disease, blood clotting disorders, accidents and aggressive sports such as football, wrestling, weight-lifting and cheerleading can also lead to stroke, he said. Travelers Rest basketball star Andrew Brown was also 16 when he suffered a stroke two years ago, stunning his family

and community as well. He came through it and returned to play after he was cleared by his doctors. And Furman University defensive lineman Allen Edwards also recently suffered a stroke. He’s still working to regain speech and movement. The Lovejoys were told they may never know what caused their son’s stroke. Jacob was brought to the ER on a stretcher complaining of a headache. Rob Lovejoy arrived first. “When I first pulled in al-

most behind the ambulance, I started thinking, ‘Holy Smokes! This is pretty bad when they bypass the local (Laurens) hospital,’” he said. “Then the neurologist told me, ‘Your son is having a stroke.’ It was like a smack in the face. You’re not expecting to hear that about your 16-year-old son.” At the hospital, Leacock called for a battery of tests. When the last test determined that Jacob was in fact having a stroke, the neurologist wanted to give him the clot-busting drug tPA. It was still within the

three-hour window to administer the drug. But first, he had to discuss it with Jacob’s father, because it was the first time they would be giving it to a child at Greenville Memorial — and because the drug isn’t without risks. Six in 100 who take it suffer serious bleeding, Leacock said, and three of those could be severely disabled or die. Lovejoy decided to take the chance because it would improve Jacob’s odds for a full recovery. “They don’t normally give this to kids. It’s an adult medicine,” he said. “But being as he is the size of an adult, they felt it would do pretty well with him.” Within a few hours, Leacock said, tests showed the teen was improving. Jacob, who was as confused and frightened as his parents

in the ER, knew what a stroke was. But he didn’t know it could happen to someone his age either. Jacob spent about 11 days in the hospital and rehab, and was back in school on April 13. He’s been able to catch up with his class. And though he still has some slight problems with his speech, grip, walking and running, he says he’s almost back to 100 percent. He aspires to play college football for Ohio State and then pro ball with the National Football League. But his doctors will have some say in whether he plays again. “If the doctors say this is kind of an oddball fluke thing, and he’s healthy enough to play sports, and that’s what he wants to do, I’m fine with it,” Rob Lovejoy said. “I want to him to live his life realistically,” said his mom. “But I want him to be happy no matter what he does.” Jacob, who was on the fence about playing again at first, but now says he wants to try. “I feel fine,” he said. “I’m afraid it will happen again. But I’m not going to live in fear of what might happen.”

Killer bees wreak havoc in Arizona PHOENIX (AP) — A particularly aggressive strain of honeybee has been menacing parts of Arizona in recent weeks with some people getting stung so many times that they’ve been hospitalized. In the past week alone, an 84-year-old man from the Tucson area was stung more than 2,000 times in his backyard. Three dogs have been killed. And beekeepers report an increase in calls to remove hives and bee swarms.

WHAT KIND OF BEES ARE ATTACKING? Experts point to the Africanized honeybee, also known as the killer bee, which is a crossbreed between the European honeybee and the African honeybee, said Reed Booth, who runs a bee-removal business in Bisbee in southern Arizona. The killer bee is the result of experiments in Brazil decades ago, and the insects migrated to the U.S. The bees are more prevalent in warm Southwestern states such as Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. If their hives are disrupted, they become especially aggressive.

WHAT IS A NORMAL BEE SEASON? In a normal year, bee season runs from mid-March through late October, but it often depends on the weather. The Phoenix Fire Department has responded to 58 bee calls in the metropolitan area since the start of 2014, including 17 this year, Capt. Aaron Ernsberger said. Booth could not pinpoint an exact reason for the increase, but he thinks the change is caused by the wet, warm winter Arizona experienced this year.

WHAT CAUSES THEM TO ATTACK? The bees are constantly on guard for possible threats to the hive. They could perceive

the color of a shirt or the scent of cologne as threatening, Booth said. “They hate any movement, noise or vibration,” Booth said. Booth said he has also witnessed a behavioral shift in the Africanized honeybee, with their aggressiveness going “through the roof.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOW FEROCIOUS ARE THE BEES? Booth said 500 stings are the equivalent of one rattlesnake bite. In Arizona, signs along popular hiking trails warn about the dangers of bee hives. Spring training baseball games are sometimes disrupted by swarms of bees, and pets sometimes fall victim to the attacks. A woman driving through the Phoenix suburb of Peoria this week was swarmed by bees that were disturbed by a landscaping crew. Her dog was killed. A swarm attacked a person in the Prescott area and killed two other dogs this week. A man in Valle Vista, a community 14 miles northeast of Kingman, was hospitalized this week after being stung between 500 and 1,000 times. Full containment of the site could take several days, fire officials said. The sizes of the hives and swarms vary, but Booth said an average hive usually has 40,000 to 60,000 bees.

Thank you, For voting us #1 Buffet

WHAT CAN PEOPLE DO? Phoenix fire officials recommend that anyone who encounters bees leave the area, call 911 and notify a beekeeper. Additionally, people who are allergic to bees should be sure to carry medicine with them, Ersnberger said. Health officials also advise people who disrupt a beehive to cover their heads, run away, take shelter and not to flail their arms.

RANGE FROM PAGE A1 Hovis said the birds are named for a red patch on the side of the birds’ heads, but it is rarely visible. “If you can see red on a woodpecker, it is probably not a red-cockaded woodpecker,” she said. Except when banding or transplanting birds, Hovis no longer needs to climb up to the burrows as she once did, she said. Now she has a “peeper,” a telescoping pole with a camera at the tip and a display screen at the base. Hovis said the Air Force has been very supportive of the project mandated by the Endangered Species Act. “The Air Force is proactive and does a good job of supporting the program to increase the population,” she said. She said when she began the job 13 years ago, there were five family groups on the range, and today there are 28. “The goal is to sustain 30 groups,” she said. “We would like about 33 cluster sites so if we lose one or two, we are still at our goal.” June said while there is a lot of acreage in the range’s buffer zones, a few extra family groups would make it much easier for the base to get permission to expand its facilities on the range, if necessary. Though the project seems to be very close to its goal, Hovis said she does not anticipate reaching the goal before 2016. “There just aren’t enough trees big enough to put artificial clusters in,” she said.

The artificial clusters are carved from rectangular blocks of wood and are placed in suitable pine trees to provide shelter for the birds, which are sometimes captured and moved from other healthy populations. “We capture them at night and place them in an artificial cluster with a screen over it until it is daylight,” she said. “We don’t want them flying out in the middle of the night.” She said about two-thirds of the red-cockaded woodpeckers on the range live in the artificial clusters, but the finicky birds rarely stay in the cluster in which they are originally placed. The woodpeckers face predation from snakes, hawks, coyotes and southern flying squirrels, June said. June also plays a major role in maintaining the woodpeckers’ habitat through controlled burning, he said, as the birds tend to avoid mediumsized underbrush. “The longleaf pine is the woodpecker’s preferred habitat,” June said. “It is very resistant to fire, so with controlled burns, we promote the longleaf pine and clear out the underbrush. It is the most proficient tool we have for forest and habitat management.” Hovis said she doesn’t form any attachment to the birds. “I don’t name them, and I don’t have any favorites,” she said. “She likes the successful ones,” June said.

Chief of Natural and Cultural Resources for Shaw Air Force Base, Ron June displays a seedling of long-leaf pine. The mature trees are the red-cockaded woodpeckers preferred habitat.

Industries supporting trade bill contribute 9 times more than industries opposed WASHINGTON (AP) — On Friday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted down a trade-related provision effectively halting a major trade package, the Trade Promotion Authority, that would grant President Obama broad authority to negotiate and finalize trade agreements with Pacific Rim countries and the European Union. Representatives voted 126302 against a section of the bill, the Trade Adjustment Assistance, that would grant financial assistance to workers displaced by trade. The provision, which was included in the Senate version of the bill, H.R. 1314, and passed on May

22, must pass before the full trade bill can go to the president for his signature. The House is expected to reconsider the TAA early next week. Industries supporting the Senate-passed version of H.R. 1314 have given 8.6 times more money ($197.9M) to members of the House of Representatives compared to industries opposing the bill ($23.1M). The chart below examines the campaign contributions given to members of the House from industries in support of and opposition to the Senate-passed version of H.R. 1314.

President Obama walks with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, right and House Minority Assistant Leader James Clyburn, D-South Carolina, a Sumter native, as he visits Capitol Hill in Washington on Friday for a meeting with House Democrats.

MILLAGE FROM PAGE A1 appraised at any time. All industrial property is appraised by the state. Once the market value of the home has been determined, that dollar amount is multiplied by an assessment ratio, which varies based on the type of property in order to calculate the assessed value. According to a brochure from Sumter County Assessor’s Office, by state law, all residential property is assessed at a 6 percent ratio, but a person can qualify for a 4 percent assessment ratio if he or she lives in a house that he or she also owns. If a house is assessed at the 4 percent ratio, Barfield said, the homeowner can apply to deduct the local school district operation tax and the state local option sales tax from the overall property tax. Most non-residential prop-

erties are assessed at much higher ratios. For example, manufacturing and utility properties are assessed at 10.5 percent, and railroads, airlines and pipelines are assessed at 9 percent. The assessed value is then multiplied by the number of county mills — one mill represents one one-thousandth of a dollar. Every year, Sumter County Auditor Lauretha McCants said Sumter County Council determines the amount of mills based on the millage in-

giving opponents there another chance to strangle the legislation. White House press secretary Josh Earnest dismissed Friday’s outcome as an “entanglement” and “procedural snafu.” But it was more than a “snafu” that caused Pelosi and the majority of House Democrats to revolt against their president. The White House, congressional Republicans and

come and the county’s budget for the upcoming fiscal year. It is proposed that the county millage will increase by 2 mills for fiscal year 2016, raising the total to 82.5 mills. As an example of how property taxes are calculated, a market value of $100,000 for a residential property is multiplied by a .04 (4 percent) assessment ratio, producing an assessed value of $4,000 for the home. The assessed value is multiplied by the county millage, .0825, for a total of $330. This total is not the true

business groups argued that the special negotiating power is a necessary tool for trade deals opening up crucial markets to American goods. Union-backed House Democrats never bought the argument. They felt burned by promises from past administrations about trade deals they blame for job and manufacturing losses in their districts. Trade bills have always had a tough road in Congress. After election losses in recent years the House Democratic caucus is

smaller and more liberal, attuned to economic issues in the wake of the financial sector meltdown and recession. Against that backdrop Obama was not able to bring enough House Democrats his way. Pelosi, from trade-dependent San Francisco, announced on the House floor at the last moment that she would be siding with the majority of her caucus and against her president. “We want a better deal for America’s workers,” she said.

COMMENTARY

Good advice from Sumter Mayor Joe McElveen Avo Reid, 12, of McLean, Virginia, stands by the Friday edition of The Sumter Item as displayed at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.

BY GRAHAM OSTEEN

f you missed Sumter Mayor Joe McElveen’s guest commentary in last week’s Sunday edition, you can find it here: http://bit.ly/1JM9nMl. Or just come by The Sumter Item offices at 20 North Magnolia St. and pick up another Sunday paper. We love visitors. Joe’s article is titled, “Small steps will turn challenges into successes,” and it’s a commentary that summarizes his approach to the world and his dedication to this community. Sumter is fortunate to have a man like him as mayor, and to have had many previous mayors with that same sort of dedication. Just this weekend I was speaking with one of my best friends who’s a city council member in Georgetown, and we were discussing how challenging civic duty is but how vital that well-intentioned people step up to help South Carolina’s cities and towns make progress and create opportunities for all people. It’s hard work, as is the journalistic work local community newspapers like The Sumter Item do reporting on local governments and upholding the First Amendment. We’re all in it together. In many of the statewide governmental workshops my friend has attended, Sumter is constantly cited as an example of a well-managed city (and county) with dedicated employees in leadership positions, and a history of effective,

PHOTO PROVIDED

well-respected mayors who understand the workings of the “Council-Manager” form of local government. This pioneering approach was approved by voters in Sumter in 1912. There’s some history here: http://bit. ly/1SdmJTs, and plenty in The Sumter Item archives. As a former state representative and practicing attorney, Joe has always brought broad political and business experience to the process of governing. He sums up his message with these words: “Whatever you do, I simply ask that you inspire others by your example. If you are a person of faith, live that faith as a resident in our community. Learn the joy of giving to and help-

ing others. Become a working part of your community. It has been said that evil triumphs when good people do nothing. Conversely, evil will lose when good people are working against it.” I’m sure others around here get sick of reading the same tired letters to the editor from people who view everything in life through the narrow lens of race. That sense of bitterness is not constructive for the progress of future generations, and life’s too short anyway. Sumter, like all cities in South Carolina and across the nation, needs more people to heed our mayor’s advice and figure out ways to “turn our challenges into successes.” If you ask me, much of it starts with

reading your local community newspaper — wherever you live — and knowing what the issues are. Then get involved in some constructive way. ... Speaking of community newspapers, the accompanying photo is of my nephew, Avo Reid, who took the time to find The Sumter Item at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., the other day. Learn more at www.newseum.org. If you’re ever in Washington be sure and visit the Newseum, a beautiful facility that, according to the web site, “has garnered outstanding reviews from media professionals, travel leaders, educators and hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world and positioned itself as a leading champion of free expression in the world today.” The front pages from around the world are what I always enjoy looking at, and if you find The Sumter Item on your visit please share a photo with us like Avo did. It’s an easy way to get your picture in the paper (other than a jail mugshot), and it will surely impress your friends and family. Graham Osteen is Editor-At-Large of The Item. He can be reached at graham@theitem.com. Follow him on Twitter @GrahamOsteen, or visit www.grahamosteen.com.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR BATEN’S LETTER LEAVES ONLY QUESTIONS In reference to Mr. Baten’s letter on June 9. I am so confused. I read his words three times and the last paragraph several more times. What does he want exactly? His words are duplicitous to say the least. He makes statements without any explanation. How is the Declaration of Independence “America’s biggest travesty in the history of humankind?” American is just 239 years old. Humankind goes all the way back. Please explain. How do you know that “Thomas Jefferson failed to acknowledge that his Creator was the same Creator of his slaves”? Slaves may have been denied their rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but there has not been any slaves since January 1863 (Emancipation Proclamation), especially in the Confederate states. So what is this about? Civil rights have been around for 50 years now. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is a person’s pursuit; I can not give anyone this pursuit. Who doesn’t have equality? Jesus did say, “You must love your neighbor as yourself.” I would guess

that it means different things to different people. This command applies to everyone. Whose shortcomings have resulted in racial turmoil and demonstrations across America? Calls for debates on race relations may have intensified, but who really means it? The debate is long overdue. If we can’t debate it here in Sumter, where can it be debated? The most confusing is the last paragraph. What “competitive game” are you talking about? Who are these “unsavory people”? Unsavory is defined as “disagreeable and unpleasant because morally disreputable.” How is calling people “unsavory” going to win friends and influence people? Where is the love? Do you want to desegregate churches? How is that going to happen? Will we be bused to other parts of the city? Will we only be allowed to attend the church closest to us? Who will tell the pastors what they are allowed to say? What if someone doesn’t “want to hold hands and hug one another?” Oh, what if someone doesn’t go to church? Your last sentence says it all. To be continued? JACQUELINE K. HUGHES Sumter

COMMENTARY

Not ‘great day in S.C.’ until all are insured BY CARLA DAMRON Executive Director, NASW-SC Chapter

struggle to understand how South Carolina can turn away over $2 billion federal dollars that were supposed to come to our state as part of the Affordable Care Act. This money would have provided health insurance to approximately 194,000 of our low income citizens who are currently uninsured. They fall into our state’s health insurance coverage gap — incomes too great to qualify for Medicaid and too little for premium assistance through the Affordable Care Act. Yet our governor continues to say “not now, not ever” to accepting these funds. Would it help if she knew to whom she is denying coverage? • 171,000 are WORKING South Carolinians who don’t get healthcare through their jobs • 26,700 are MILITARY VETERANS and their spouses • 63,000 are low income near-elderly citizens between the ages of 50 and 64. The most ironic part of this issue is that this money is already in the federal budget. So, while we have hospitals

that are closing, people who can’t get treatment or preventative care, emergency rooms that are over-burdened by the demands of uninsured patients, we send OUR dollars elsewhere. Our people in need and our healthcare systems go without — while other Southern states are using the federal money to close their coverage gaps. I’m all for being generous, but what about helping our own people? What about our own hospitals? I’m encouraged that Senators Joel Lourie and Ray Cleary have introduced S. 845, a bipartisan bill that would allow federal dollars to come to South Carolina and so that uninsured people can buy private insurance. This program is similar to what other Southern states have used. Arkansas and Kentucky have accepted the federal dollars for a private option and have reaped the rewards: more than $1 billion in savings, according to the Robert Woods Johnsons Foundation. While there would be some cost to South Carolina in the later years of the program, these states have shown that savings will cover the expense through 2021 and beyond.

But the financial incentives aren’t as important as the access to healthcare. Insuring an additional 194,000 of our citizens will mean early treatment for diabetes, high blood pressure and other conditions that can have dire consequences without proper monitoring and care. It will mean families not facing bankruptcy to pay for the medical care of loved ones. It will mean fewer hospitals closing, less burdened emergency rooms, and a healthier workforce. It may even mean preventing cancer, heart disease and other potentially deadly illnesses because people will have access to preventative care. We have much to be proud of in South Carolina. I welcome the day when we can be proud of offering healthcare to everyone in the coverage gap. That’s when we can say, “It’s a great day in South Carolina” and know we are speaking the truth.

Many of the thrillers of ROBIN COOK (25 Across) have one-word medical terms as titles, such as Fever, Mutation and Cell. “Moulin Rouge” (50 Across) is French for “red

mill”; the Paris cabaret with that name has a red windmill on its roof. Utah State University (106 Across) was founded in 1888 as an agricultural college, hence its AGGIE nickname.

On his shoulders?

Edwards back at Michigan, but not with Roush Fenway BY NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

With the NBA Finals tied 2-2, Cleveland is likely going to have to lean on forward LeBron James (23) even more than it has if the Cavaliers are going to bring home a championship. Game 5 is today in Oakland, Calif.

Cavs likely to lean more on LeBron now that series is best of 3 BY BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — LeBron James casually swished a jumper from the corner, an otherwise ordinary shot with a higher degree of difficulty given the backpack hanging over his shoulders.

KEITH GEDAMKE / THE SUMTER ITEM

Dawson Price and the rest of the Sumter P-15’s will face Camden beginning on Monday in a 3-game set that could decide the League III champion.

In the NBA Finals, James might have to carry something much heavier than a backpack. He might have to put the Cleveland Cavaliers on his back. “Well, I’m in a spot where I have to be very productive, and that’s just the spot I’ve

always been in,” James said Saturday. He’s certainly been in this very spot in the finals, Game 5 of a tied series, the game that has historically foretold who would win the title. So it’s all about the next game, with no reason to get hung up on what happened in the

last one — no matter how bad things appeared. “I think when you get to a championship-level type game with it being 2-2, I don’t think anyone has the momentum,” James said. “Obviously, everyone would

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Carl Edwards acknowledges this trip to Michigan feels a bit different to him. “It is a little strange to come here to this race and not be driving for Jack Roush, because we put so much emphasis on this event for so many years,’’ he said. “To win this race would be really special for me now just because EDWARDS I know from the other side how much everyone prepares — Jack and the other teams — because for the domestic car manufacturers, this is their backyard.’’ Edwards drives a Toyota now for Joe Gibbs Racing after more than a decade with Roush Fenway, so perhaps that makes him a bit of an outsider for today’s Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Toyota hasn’t won a Cup race at MIS since 2011, with Chevrolet and Ford winning three each since then. Edwards has won twice at this track, but not since 2008. He was out of the top 20 in his two attempts last year for Roush Fenway and Ford. “For me to win in a Toyota would be really special here,’’ Edwards said. Edwards is 16th in the points standings this year, but he already has a victory, so he’s in good shape to reach the Chase for the Sprint Cup. His old team has been struggling. Greg Biffle is in 18th place, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is 28th and Trevor Bayne is 30th. None of those three Roush drivers has won a race. “You take that whole group at Roush Fenway Racing, they don’t quit,’’ Edwards said. “They’re the toughest guys in

Manning postponed; P-15’s, Camden set for pivotal series BY DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com The American Legion League III baseball game between Manning-Santee Post 68 and Camden Post 17 scheduled for Saturday in Camden was postponed due to a lack of players. Manning was without several players over the week due to prior commitments, but managed to play its two games against Dalzell-Shaw. The teams split those games. The postponed game will

be played on July 1 in Camden as part of a doubleheader in two 7-inning games. It will start at 5 p.m. Manning, third in the league with a 3-5 record, is scheduled to play a doubleheader against Rockdale, Ga., today at noon at Monarch Field in Manning. It plays a non-league game at home against Lake City on Wednesday and then meets Goose Creek in a League III game on Friday in Manning. Camden, which is second

in League III with a 5-1 record, begins an important 3-game series against league leader Sumter on Monday. The P-15’s are 9-0 in league play and lead Post 17 by 2 1/2 games. The opening game will be played at Riley Park beginning at 7 p.m. before moving to Camden on Tuesday at 7 p.m. The third game will be on Thursday in Sumter at 7 p.m. If Sumter sweeps the series it will wrap up the league championship.

SCOREBOARD

Dalzell-Shaw falls 12-3 to Orangeburg

TV, RADIO

BY CHRIS CLARK Times and Democrat ORANGEBURG — It took a few turns of the ignition, but the Orangeburg Post 4 scoring engine got cranked up after a couple innings and rolled to a 12-3 home win against Dalzell-Shaw Post 175 on Friday at Mirmow Field. Leading just 1-0 after three innings of play, the home team got its offense going with a one-hit, 2-run fourth and a 6-hit, 7-run fifth to take control. The win improved Post 4 to 4-2 overall, as it stepped out of League VIII play for three games this weekend. Dalzell-Shaw dropped to 1-6 overall. Orangeburg got six solid innings from starting pitcher Dylan Brant. He allowed just three hits against four strikeouts. Noah Cason came on in relief, pitching the final three innings allowing just three hits and one unearned run. Leading hitters for Post 4 were Logan Peters, 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI double. John Connor was 2-for-3 with a double and three runs scored, Will Gee Jr. was 2-for-4 with a double, 3-run triple, and two runs and Justin Ridgeway was 3-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs. “We took a while to get going, but we did hit the ball well most of the game,” Post 4 head coach Frank Leysath said. “We did make some (five) errors, and we won’t be able to get away with that against the top teams we play the rest of the way this season.” Gee Jr. started the scoring in the third, as

Post 4 had a hit parade in the fifth, as Peters led things off with a solo home run that left the park and sailed over the right field fence. By the time Peters doubled later in the inning, Ridgeway and Hank Avinger had both doubled and scored, and Gee Jr. had tripled in three more runs. Peters’ double brought home Gee Jr. Dalzell-Shaw threw four pitchers in the game, trying to get an advantage on Post 4 bats.

rest of the way. “We really didn’t know what to expect going up to the plate and seeing a different pitcher nearly every time,” Peters said, having fallen just a triple short of hitting for the cycle. “But, the hits will come. We just need to get better with our defense this weekend, and for the rest of the season.” Connor walked and later scored on a Brant single in the sixth, and Avinger reached on an error in the eighth, later scoring on a throwing error. Dalzell-Shaw scored 2 runs in the fifth, after Benenhaley doubled and Carson Floyd singled to start the inning. One of Post 4’s errors and a York single plated the two baserunners. The visitors tacked on a third run in the eighth, as Eric Lisenby reached on a throwing error and later scored on a Buford double.

Kyle Busch wins Xfinity race BROOKLYN, Mich. — Kyle Busch returned to the Xfinity Series with a flourish, winning his first race back Saturday at Michigan International Speedway. Busch broke his right leg and left foot in a February crash at Daytona. He resumed his Sprint Cup schedule last month, but the race at MIS was his first in NASCAR’s second-tier series since the injury. It was Busch’s record 71st career victory on this circuit. He won the 250-mile, 125-lap race by 0.477 seconds over Chase Elliott. Pole winner Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick were battling for the lead on lap 117 when Harvick brushed against Logano, sending them both sliding to the outside. That gave Elliott and Busch a chance to take over the top two spots, and Busch passed Elliott five laps later.

SHS alum Weiss misses qualifying for U.S. Open BY BARBARA BOXLEITNER Special To The Sumter Item

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The 16th hole of the Chambers Bay golf course is shown as a freight train passes at left in University Place, Wash. Next week the course, which opened in 2007, will become the youngest golf course to host the U.S. Open since Hazeltine in 1970.

U.S. Open gets a new look for 115th edition BY DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

So much is brand new about America’s oldest golf championship. Not to worry. The U.S. Open hasn’t lost its reputation as the toughest test in golf. And it’s still the most democratic of the majors, with more than half the field — including a pair of 2-time champions — having to go through qualifying. Just about everything else at the 115th U.S. Open is breaking new ground, starting with where it is being played. Chambers Bay, a public course perched along Puget Sound south of Seattle, for more than a century was a sand and gravel pit used for mining. Ten years ago, it was still being built. And now it’s the first U.S. Open in the Pacific Northwest, and the first major in the area since Vijay Singh won the PGA Championship in 1998 at Sahalee. No other golf course has been awarded a U.S. Open so soon after it opened. Also new this year: Fox Sports was awarded a 12-year contract that starts this year. Johnny Miller no longer will be calling the shots. That now falls to Greg Norman. And Fox will be making its debut in major championship golf with a course hardly anyone has seen. It’s more than location that

makes it so different. Instead of thick rough typical of a U.S. Open, Chambers Bay has fine fescue grass that allows the ball to bounce and roll, similar to a links course. There are no tree-lined fairways because there is only one tree on the golf course. “It’s everything like a British Open,” Phil Mickelson said after playing the Robert Trent Jones Jr. design. “I’ve never seen this type of fescue in the United States. I’ve never seen greens with fescue grass in the United States. The ball runs like the British. You’re hitting the same shots as the British.” Maybe that bodes well for Mickelson, who hasn’t won a tournament since the 2013 British Open. This is his second shot at trying to become only the sixth player with the career Grand Slam. All he has from the U.S. Open, the only major he has never won, is a record six silver medals. The par 70, but even that is different. The USGA plans to move the tees and alternate par between 4 and 5 on the first and 18th holes. And there’s a par 3 (No. 9) that has two sets of tees — one that makes it play slightly uphill, the other has a 100-foot drop to the green. Players already are suspicious, especially after USGA executive director Mike Davis said that anyone who plays

only two practice rounds and has his caddie walk the course to get the yardage off the tee and to the green is “done.” It’s not clear if the USGA is trying to identify the best player or the best student of architecture. “There’s going to be someone lifting the trophy at the end of the week,” said Rory McIlroy, the world’s No. 1 player. “It’s a bit of an unknown to most people, so you have to prepare. But you can fall into the trap of trying to over-prepare.” He said that right before he missed consecutive cuts in Europe, his final competition before the second major of the year. Missing cuts is nothing new for McIlroy, but no less startling for the world’s No. 1 player who has made minislumps in the summer two of the last three years. Still, nothing is more surprising these days than Tiger Woods. The last time the four-time champion played in the U.S. Open, at Merion in 2013, he was No. 1 in the world and in the midst of a five-win season. Now he is No. 181 and has gone nearly two years since his last victory. Woods took two months off early in the year when his game hit an alltime low — an 82 in the Phoenix Open — and then three tournaments into his return, he shot an 85 at the Memorial.

olfer Jon Weiss did not qualify for the U.S. Open. The former James Madison University golfer shot a 146 (74-72) in Monday’s sectional qualifying in Columbus, Ohio. The Sumter High School graduate earned the trip to the sectional because he said he was the first alternate through local qualifiers. He qualified as one of two alternates during a May local qualifier in Darien, Conn., near where he was visiting his girlfriend. Weiss played the Ohio course Monday without any knowledge about it. He said he received the call to play Sunday and drove all day to arrive in time for play. Sometimes first alternates receive several days’ notice, he said, and others do not. The field had a number of players who have had significant success on the PGA Tour. Among them were Stewart Cink, winner of the 2009 Open Championship, and Vijay Singh, a World Golf Hall of Fame member. Both withdrew before finishing the second round of the 1-day event. PGA Tour player Luke Guthrie was in the threesome in which Weiss played. “I had the deepest field by far,” said Weiss, who has one semester of college remaining though he has used his golf eligibility. Weiss had four birdies in the first round and three in the second. He had four bogeys and one double bogey in the first round, one bogey and one double in the second. “The rough was really

thick,” he said, “and the greens were very fast. I could have played better. WEISS Not seeing the course and not knowing where to hit the ball, it makes a huge difference. I wish I had gotten the call earlier.” Weiss said he plans to compete in a qualifier for the PGA Travelers Championship and a Simsbury, Conn., qualifier July 20 for the U.S. Amateur Championship. He is golfing every day because he said, “I want to try to make this a living. It’s basically golf all the time. I’m excited for the future. Every year I’ve progressed.” He finished with a 73.16 scoring average, third on the Dukes, in 32 rounds. He was named to the all-Colonial Athletic Association second team.

MORE MEN’S GOLF Limestone College graduate Cody Clepper lost in a playoff June 6 at the South Carolina Golf Center Classic. He shot a 68 in the Coastal Players Tour event. “I hit the ball well allaround,” said Clepper, out of Sumter High. “I hit a lot of greens. The only thing that would have helped me was if I made some more putts.” Clepper won The Invitational during May in Greenwood. He prevailed in a playoff, shooting a 139 (71-68). Like Weiss, he is playing every day because he wants to continue his golf career. Send updates about area athletes to Barbara Boxleitner at BKLE3@aol.com.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Owen, Gomez tied for St. Jude lead MEMPHIS, Tenn. — England’s Greg Owen has never had a piece of a 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour. Now he hopes he can stay relaxed with the great short game that has him in position to win his first title in his 214th tour event. And winning would mean so much more than simply having a title on every tour Owen’s ever played. “Just a huge, huge relief that what you’ve been striving for your whole life you can say you’ve achieved,’’ Owen said Saturday. Owen and Fabian Gomez of Argentina each shot a 3-under-par 67 to share a onestroke lead after 54 holes at the St. Jude Classic, tied at 9-under 201 total. Swirling wind and tough pins kept everyone guessing on a hectic day at TPC Southwind, where as many as six players had a piece of the lead. Both Owen and Gomez putted well on the firm greens despite hitting only 11 of 18 greens. Owen needed 26 putts in making four birdies and one bogey, while Gomez had 24 putts despite three bogeys. He had six birdies. Brooks Koepka had at least a piece of the lead through the first two rounds and got to 10 under. He finished with a 71 and was tied with Scott Brown

The two had battled all afternoon and each went into the final hole at 13-under par. But Park made her seventh birdie of the day on 18, and Kim missed a 4-foot putt for par. The duo will go into today with some separation from the rest of the pack. Suzann Pettersen and Brooke Henderson each shot a 71. They ended tied Karrie Webb for third place at 8-under par.

MLB ROUNDUP

Bucs’ Cole 1st to 10 wins PITTSBURGH — Gerrit Cole allowed two runs in six innings to become the first pitcher in the majors to 10 victories this season as the Pittsburgh Pirates edged the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 on Saturday. Cole (10-2) struck out COLE seven without a walk to trim his ERA to a major-league best 1.71 while winning his fifth consecutive start. The 24-year-old is now 14-2 in 18 starts dating to last September. Starling Marte had three hits and an RBI for Pittsburgh. Gregory Polanco added two hits and Andrew McCutchen drove in two runs as Pittsburgh handed the Phillies their ninth straight road loss. NATIONALS 7 BREWERS 2 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Atlanta’s Andrelton Simmons (19) slides into New York Mets second baseman Dilson Herrera (2) during the Braves’ 5-3 victory in 11 innings on Saturday in New York.

Maybin has big hit in 11th, Braves rally past Mets 5-3 BY HOWIE RUMBERG The Associated Press NEW YORK — Cameron Maybin bobbled a ball in center field for an error that allowed the Mets to score the go-ahead run in the seventh, and he got thrown out at home trying to tag up an inning later. All good. He still had two atbats to turn around his day. Oh, he did. Maybin had a two-run single in the 11th inning after driving in a run in the ninth Saturday, and the Atlanta Braves’ beleaguered bullpen shut down the Mets over the final four-plus innings in a come-from-behind, 5-3 victory over New York. “It’s just fun to win, man,” Maybin said. Maybin came up with runners on second and third and one out in the 11th and sent a liner off Carlos Torres (2-3) into left-center for the tworun lead. He entered the day batting .448 (13 for 29) with runners in scoring position. Facing a Mets bullpen without closer Jeurys Familia, whose son was born while he was finishing off Friday night’s win, the Braves rallied for two in the ninth to end a five-game skid against

the NL East leaders. “Those guys went out and gave everything they had,” Carlos Torres said, “for me to give up those runs after they played hard core is terrible.” Andrelton Simmons tied a career high with four hits for the Braves, who won for just the fourth time in 11 games. With 37,794 enthusiastic fans standing and cheering, Freddie Freeman tied it 3-all with a liner past diving shortstop Wilmer Flores. Maybin singled in a run off Hansel Robles before Freeman stepped to the plate. Freeman gave Atlanta the early lead with a mammoth homer off Jacob deGrom in the first. The Braves had already blown five saves in June, but, this time, six relievers retired 14 of the final 16 batters. Jason Grilli (2-2) pitched one inning for the win. “We believe in these guys every time they come in,” Maybin said of the bullpen. “They continue to go out there and they continue to compete.” Williams Perez, who is Monday’s scheduled starter, gave up two singles to open the 11th before getting pinchhitter John Mayberry Jr. to line into a double play to

shortstop. Perez then finished for his first career save. “We had no other options,” manager Fredi Gonzalez said. Gonzalez said he and his staff will have to go over Williams’ day — how many warmup pitches he threw and such before deciding if he will make his start against the Red Sox. The Mets used several defensive gems and took advantage of an error by center fielder Maybin in the seventh inning to open a 3-1 lead against Shelby Miller. New York had runners on base in every inning but the fourth against the Braves’ 24-year-old ace. Miller, though, worked out of every jam until the seventh, when Travis d’Arnaud blooped a single to center. Pinch-hitter Juan Lagares, who singled to start the rally and advanced to third on Curtis Granderson’s double, scored to make it 1-all. Granderson scored when Maybin bobbled the ball in center field for an error. Dana Eveland replaced Miller and Lucas Duda then doubled. In 6 1/3 innings, Miller allowed a season-high eight hits and three runs, which boosted his ERA from 1.84 to 2.02.

MILWAUKEE — Yunel Escobar and Wilson Ramos hit 2-run homers and Bryce Harper continued his offensive surge by driving in two runs as the Washington Nationals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-2. Against the Brewers, the three looked fearsome, going 7 of 13 with six RBI and chasing starter Jimmy Nelson (3-7) in the sixth. Escobar’s homer put Washington ahead for good 3-2 in the third and Ramos’ shot extended the lead to 5-2 in the fifth. Harper finished 3 for 3, but was hit by a pitch in the ninth and left the game. With RBI in the first and sixth innings, he has 51 for the season.

MARLINS 4 ROCKIES 1 MIAMI — Mat Latos struck out a season-high 11 over seven innings, Giancarlo Stanton homered and drove in four runs, and the Miami Marlins beat the Colorado Rockies 4-1. Stanton had a 2-run double in the first and a 2-run home run, his 23rd, in the sixth to give him 12 RBI in the last six games.

INDIANS 5 TIGERS 4 DETROIT — Carlos Santana homered and Carlos Carrasco shook off a bad history in Detroit to lift the Cleveland Indians to a 5-4 victory over the Tigers . Carrasco (8-5) struck out eight and allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings to help disappoint a sellout crowd that turned out for Justin Verlander’s season debut. The former MVP and Cy Young award winner left with a 3-2 lead after pitching five innings but reliever Blaine Hardy (2-1) was tagged for two runs in the sixth that gave the Indians the lead for good.

BLUE JAYS 5 RED SOX 4 BOSTON — Russell Martin delivered the go-ahead hit for the second straight day, a leadoff home run in the 11th inning that sent the Toronto Blue Jays to their 10th straight win, 5-4 over the Boston Red Sox. On Friday night, Martin hit a tiebreaking, bases-loaded triple during a 9-run burst in the seventh for a 13-10 victory. On Saturday, he hit his 10th homer.

RAYS 5 WHITE SOX 4 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Steve Souza Jr. hit a tying RBI single, stole second with the help of a replay challenge and scored the winning run on an error, lifting the Tampa Bay Rays to a 5-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Souza’s 2-out single off Zach Putnam (1-2) drove in David DeJesus in the eighth. Souza then swiped second and Asdrubal Cabrera was walked intentionally before Jake Elmore hit a bouncer up the middle.

OMAHA, Neb. — Virginia’s Kenny Towns thrives on the pressure this time of year. So he was right where he wanted to be in a tie game late in the opener of the College World Series. Towns delivered a tiebreaking eighth-inning double after Daniel Pinero stole second and third base, and the Cavaliers defeated Arkansas 5-3 on Saturday. “I feel comfortable in the postseason with games on the line. The past couple years I’ve been here and I’ve gotten used to it,’’ said Towns, whose 22 RBI in 26 career NCAA tournament games are a school record. “You want to rise up for your team and give them a better chance to win. I’ve been able to get the opportunity and succeed sometimes.’’ The Cavaliers (40-22), the 2014 national runners-up, advanced to a Monday game against the winner of a late Bracket 1 game between Miami and Florida. The Razorbacks (40-24) will meet the Miami-Florida loser on Monday. Virginia took a gutsy offensive approach, matching its

Virginia third baseman Kenny Towns (9) follows through on an RBI double against Arkansas in the eighth inning of the Cavaliers’ 5-3 victory on Saturday in the opening game of the College World Series at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb. career high with five stolen bases on eight attempts, and Connor Jones turned in a solid six-inning start despite struggling with his command. The Cavaliers, a No. 3 re-

gional seed and the lowest to make it to Omaha, have won all six of their games in the national tournament. They’ve scored 27 of their 37 tournament runs in the sixth inning

or later. “That ballgame is kind of how we played the last couple weeks,’’ coach Brian O’Connor said. “Connor Jones certainly didn’t have his best stuff, but he grinded. Our plan coming into this World Series was to be very aggressive and take the fight to the other team, and we did that from an offensive standpoint.’’ Josh Sborz (5-2), who started two CWS games last year and is now the Cavaliers’ closer, struck out five of 10 batters in three innings. Arkansas tied it at 3 in the fifth on Andrew Benintendi’s nation-leading 20th home run. That was the second homer of the game at TD Ameritrade Park, which surrendered only three each of the past two years in the CWS. Virginia’s Joe McCarthy had opened the scoring with a drive into the right-field seats in the second. The Hogs got a strong outing from Trey Killian (3-5), a ninth-round draft pick of the Colorado Rockies who left with one out in the eighth after Pinero singled for his third hit. Zack Jackson came on, and Pinero stole second and third on back-to-back pitches.

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP ROUNDUP

EDWARDS FROM PAGE B1 the world. They will keep working and I don’t ever — I always expect them each week to come back and be faster and faster. They’re great competitors.’’ Edwards is starting in the second row for Sunday’s race. Kasey Kahne took the pole Friday and was followed in qualifying by Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski. Here are a few more things to watch in today’s 400-mile, 200-lap race:

HAPPY MEMORIES Michigan has always been a special track for Dale Earnhardt Jr., who won at MIS in 2008 and 2012, snapping long losing streaks both times. Earnhardt will start in position No. 14 on Sunday after a so-so qualifying effort. “I think we will race good. This place is a lot of fun, wide racetrack,’’ he said. “We will have a good, competitive car. We haven’t qualified well all year. I don’t get too worried about it when we don’t do well there.’’

HIGH SPEEDS Michigan is home to some of the highest speeds in NASCAR. Jeff Gordon won the pole last August at a track-record 206.558 mph. Kahne’s speed of 201.992 on Friday was well short of that, but the track’s reputation remains the same. “All of us love going fast, that’s why we started racing,’’ Edwards said. “When you don’t slow down for the corners, there’s really not a lot of opportunity to get an advantage on someone. It really doesn’t matter to any of us if we’re going 200 mph down the straightaway as long as we have to get in that corner and slide the car and brake and use our skill set to get through the corner. Those are the kind of things that NASCAR and everybody is working on.’’

Colombia goal keeper Sandra Sepulveda (12) makes a save against France during the first half of Colombia’s 2-0 upset victory in the Women’s World Cup on Saturday in Moncton, New Brunswick.

Colombia upsets France 2-0 MONCTON, New Brunswick — Lady Andrade and Catalina Usme scored goals as Colombia stunned third-ranked France 2-0 Saturday in one of the biggest upsets in Women’s World Cup history. The underdog Colombians opened the scoring in the 19th minute. Andrade broke free from a pair of defenders for a tap-in goal. Usme clinched her country’s first World Cup win with a goal on the counter attack in the 93rd minute. “We’ve proved that we’re not just here to make up the numbers. We knew that we’d have to play intelligently and fight for every ball. My players are real battlers,” Colombia coach Fabian Taborda said of his 28th-ranked team. The French lost despite outshooting Colombia 21-3 in Moncton, New Brunswick. Much of that was thanks to the play of Colombian goalkeeper Sandra Sepulveda, who made a number of sprawling saves that increasingly frustrated the French attack. “There were numerous aspects that weren’t quite right (Saturday).

NBA FINALS

SUNDAY, JUNE 14, 2015

THE SUMTER ITEM

Warriors believe they’ve found formula to beat Cavs BY ANTONIO GONZALEZ The Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — The media crush that descended upon the Golden State Warriors’ practice facility Saturday forced Stephen Curry to shoot on the far court, where a billboard that honors the 1974-75 championship team hangs on the wall. As if Curry and the Warriors needed a reminder, the giant yellow sign served as a symbolic notice: Never has another title been so close. Two wins from ending the franchise’s 40-year championship drought, the Warriors are looking increasingly comfortable in front of all the cameras. They head into tonight’s Game 5 of the knotted-up NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers confident that they have found the formula to win. “You can’t necessarily say you’ve gotten over the hurdle until you win the series, but I think we’ve adjusted to it and we’re ready for it now,” Warriors forward Draymond Green said. “We’re ready to take that jump.” Golden State has gotten better every time it has been tested. Dropping Games 2 and 3 to

LEBRON FROM PAGE B1 say them because they’re coming back home, and then after the game they had the other night, but the momentum starts once the game starts.” Golden State contained James and won big for the first time in Game 4. The Cavaliers don’t have an obvious lineup adjustment like the Warriors made, so Cleveland’s best chance — maybe only chance — could be for James to score today the way he did in the first three games. James appeared rested and relaxed before practicing at the Warriors’ training center, surely helped by the extra day between games when the series moved west. He scored only 20 points on 7-of-22 shooting in Game 4 after averaging 41 through the first three. Coach David Blatt believes the break will benefit not only James but his whole team, which after a quick start Thursday was a step behind the rest of the night trying to keep up with the deeper,

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Switching to a smaller lineup that included guard Andre Iguodala, hanging from the rim, Golden State believes it has found the right formula for beating LeBron James and Cleveland as the NBA Finals shifts back to Oakland, Calif., for today’s Game 5. the Cavs was the sixth time the Warriors lost two straight this season. The previous five times they rolled off winning streaks of 16, eight, three, nine and six in a row, the lat-

ter coming after falling behind 2-1 to the Memphis Grizzlies in the second round. “They get a little angry when they lose a couple in a row and they’ve responded all

quicker Warriors in a 103-82 loss. “We’ve had a couple of days here to recover. I believe that’s going to be helpful,” Blatt said. “This is a tough series for both teams, a lot of things happening. It’s the best-of-three to win the NBA championship, the world championship. So I like the situation we’re in. I like the challenge that’s in front of us, and I can’t wait to play tomorrow.” Neither can the Warriors, who weren’t particularly impressive while splitting a pair of overtime contests in Games 1 and 2. But now that they have regained homecourt advantage, they will win the NBA title as long as they don’t lose a second game in an arena where they lost only twice all season. They did lose twice in the playoffs at home, against Memphis and Cleveland. “I think if you look at the entire playoffs, the first two games at home have been a struggle,” said coach Steve Kerr. “Part of that is just trying to adapt to your opponent and get a feel for what they’re doing. Easing into the series. Not easing in, but

trying to get a grasp on what you’re wanting to accomplishment. So I think we should be better tomorrow because we have a feel for our opponent, and I’m looking for a better game at home.” He wouldn’t say if he would stick with the small lineup the Warriors unveiled in Game 4, with swingman Andre Iguodala starting in place of center Andrew Bogut. But given Golden State’s success in speeding up the tempo, there seems little reason to switch back. James acknowledged after the game that the Cavaliers don’t have many lineups they can go to, but Blatt isn’t so sure a change is necessary given the way the first three games went. “If you look at the one game, it makes you think, ‘OK, we’ve got to change this, that and the other thing,” he said. “If you look at the four games, in three out of four of those games we were pretty good doing the things that we did. So I think you’ll see a combination of both of those possibilities.”

season long,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “Hopefully we can get on a nice little run here, too.” Whether it’s making adjustments, learning opponents or

rediscovering rhythm, the Warriors have worn down teams as each series has progressed. Kerr’s decision to play small — suggested by 28-yearold assistant Nick U’Ren — made a big difference in Golden State’s 103-82 win at Cleveland on Thursday night. Kerr likely will stick with the lineup full of 3-point shooters — starting swingman Andre Iguodala instead of Andrew Bogut and sliding the 6-foot-7 Green to center — that spread the floor and sped up the pace in Game 4. Of course, Kerr’s not revealing his next move. He even joked that he has “established my penchant for lying” about lineups so nobody should believe him. What the Warriors believe is they have a well-established record of responding to adversity. The change against the Cavs followed a pattern of problem solving that helped hamper Houston’s James Harden, nullify Memphis’ Tony Allen and negate New Orleans’ Anthony Davis previously in these playoffs. The Warriors believe they’re too deep, too talented and too smart to let anything negative linger.

Citizens urged to fly their flags Today we honor the Stars and Stripes BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com The flag of the United States has not been created by rhetorical sentences in declarations of independence and in bills of rights. It has been created by the experience of a great people, and nothing is written upon it that has not been written by their life. It is the embodiment, not of a sentiment, but of a history. ~Woodrow Wilson The U.S. flag is a prominent part of many patriotic holidays and ceremonies, yet it did not have its own day until 1885, when a Wisconsin schoolteacher named B.J. Cigrand had the students at a Fredonia public school observe what he called “Flag Birthday” on June 14, the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of The Stars and Stripes. Cigrand wrote magazine articles, letters to the editor and to his representatives in Congress, urging that the date be observed as a national holiday. In 1899, George Balch, a New York kindergarten teacher, had his own students celebrate the date, which later was adopted by the state of New York. After an 1891 celebration hosted by the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia, other groups, most notably the Sons of the American Revolution and the Colonial Dames of America, advocated for the June 14 holiday. On June 14, 1914, Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane made the case for Flag Day in a speech in which he said the flag had “spoken” to him. Among other things, the flag “said,” “I swing before your eyes as a bright gleam of color, a symbol of yourself, the pictured suggestion of that big thing which makes this nation. My stars and my stripes are your dreams and

This 1950 painting by Walter Haskell Hinton depicts Betsy Ross showing the flag she allegedly made at the behest of Gen. George Washington and the Continental Congress. No one knows if she did actually make the flag, but it is generally accepted that she did, based on stories she told her descendants in the years before her death. your labors. They are bright with cheer, brilliant with courage, firm with faith, because you have made them so out of your hearts; for you are the makers of the Flag, and it is well that you glory in the making.” While the flag was often celebrated, it was not until 1949 that President Harry S Truman signed an act of Congress officially making June 14 National Flag Day, and it has been so ever since. Traditionally, U.S. Presidents encourage U.S. citizens to fly the flag and take the time to ponder its significance. Interestingly, June 14 is not an official federal holiday in 49 states. Only in Pennsylvania, because of the Betsy Ross connection, is Flag Day a day off for public school students and government employees. The American flag has its own code, the Flag Code of the Federal Law. While these rules of etiquette are not legally binding, they are generally observed by U.S. citizens and especially by military and government enti-

ties. Some of these guidelines include: • Unless the flag has been so designed, it should be flown only in good weather. • The flag must be well lit at all times, either by sunlight or artificial light sources. • When displayed in a group of flags, the U.S. flag must be at the center and at the highest point. • If the USA flag is being displayed with another flag, with the two flags having crossed staffs, the U.S. flag must be on the right and have its staff in the front. • If the flag is to be suspended overhead, the canton must be to the top towards the left of the observer, with the folds falling freely. • The flag should not be used as an item of decoration or in any form of fashion. • If the flag is worn beyond repair, it should be disposed of in a respectful manner. To read the entire Flag Code, visit the website http://www.usflag.org/uscode36.html.

U.S. Postal Service employees Frank Clark and William Diehl raise a new flag on the staff in front of the Sumter Post Office on North Main Street. As prescribed in the Federal flag code, they were careful not to let either the old, faded flag nor the new flag touch the ground. They placed the old flag in a plastic bag and planned to deposit it in the designated box in front of VFW Post 3034 at 1925 Gion St. to be destroyed. According to the code, “The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.”

DEAR ABBY — I have been happily married for 30 years. Many years ago I found Dear Abby out, inadABIGAIL vertently, VAN BUREN that my wife is adopted. (My wife has no siblings, and her parents died when she was in college.) Concerned that she might not know about it, I contacted senior members of her family to confirm. They all confirmed what I had heard and said my wife knows about it. I think it’s odd she never shared this with me. It wouldn’t change things between us, but it bothers me that she has never told me. To the best of my knowledge, she has no idea that I know. I am having major heart surgery in the fall, and this is something I would like to discuss with her before I do. I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

friends, but my problem is the other boys are never direct about their intentions. Usually, they’ll say it’s to “hang out” or “grab dinner” — very casual, vague invitations. To accept would make me feel I’m leading them on somehow, but to refuse “because I have a boyfriend” would make it look like I’m jumping to conclusions about them. Is there a polite way to tell someone that you’re seeing someone — without being accusatory — but that you would still like to be friends? Jumping to conclusions DEAR JUMPING — Say it this way: “I’d love to, but, you know, I have a boyfriend. Would that be a problem for you?” If the boy says no -- then go. If he hits on you after that, tell him you think he’s great, but you want to be friends — one can never have enough friends — and you’re not looking for another romance. If the boy respects you, he’ll accept it and not try again while you and your boyfriend are together.

ball Championship. The intent of the article is to chronicle the efforts of these young athletes who brought honor and success to this newly created school. Information and photos used in preparing this story were taken from The Item archives. Hillcrest Consolidated High School was constructed on a site located miles from Sumter on the Camden highway near the crest of Ballard’s Hill. This facility completed in April of 1928 was built at a cost of $65,000. The school was considered to be modern in every respect and regarded as a “credit to the county and the children of the surrounding country who were brought to and from the school every day by a fleet of trucks.” The building was formally dedicated by the State Superintendent of Education, J.H. Hope. He spoke to a crowd of more than 300 people who came to observe the unveiling of a plaque. The new school provided the educational needs of area children enrolled in both the primary and high school levels from Dalzell, Rembert, Hagood, Stateburg and all the surrounding country.

1940 WAS A MAGICAL SEASON FOR HILLCREST FOOTBALL The Hillcrest athletic program matured rapidly and soon became a contender in all areas of sports activities. The

1936 baseball team were Fifth District Class C Champions advancing to participate in state competition. The 1940 football team enjoyed a stellar season. The 1939-40 Hillcrest Wildcats opened their season hoping to defend their district title which they held for two years. Coach Phil Kelly was “out to try to match the record of the past Wildcat elevens, who had won practically all of their games.” At practice that year was the largest squad to ever report at the school, but many of them lacked experience. The team was scheduled to play Mayesville, Turbeville, Gable and Pinewood, with other teams to be scheduled after the season began. Hillcrest opened its season with a 56-0 pasting of Sherwood High and continued to advance through the remainder of their competition undefeated.

HILLCREST VS. PINEWOOD, 1940 The pivotal game of the season was scheduled to be played at the Sumter fairgrounds in the afternoon. The Hillcrest and Pinewood coaches declared their chargers to be in good condition and ready for the game. Pinewood was declared to have a slight advantage due to having a huge 245pound guard on the offensive line. “Bad News” Johnson, a 185-pound running back would be counted on to wreck the Hillcrest defensive front. Hillcrest possessed a “hard-driving” backfield led by Weldon “He won The Buick” McCoy and Rufus McCoy. Hillcrest also had a veteran, but light, line. Both teams were undefeated. Coach Kelly anticipated more than 1,000 fans would be in attendance. Hillcrest won a hard fought game edging Pinewood by the score of 14-7, claiming undisputed possession of the District Class C Championship. Hillcrest scored on two passes during the second quarter and allowed Pinewood a score in the third. The final quarter saw Pinewood making desperate attempts to score against a Hillcrest team that thwarted each effort. The win propelled the Hillcrest team into a game against Estill for the Lower State Class ‘C’ Championship.

HILLCREST MEETS ESTILL This game matched the Hillcrest Wildcats against the strong Estill “Green Raiders.”

Coach Phil Kelly, standing at top left, also led the 1938 Hillcrest team. Standing, from left: Coach Kelly, Ray, Langston, Hawkins, S. Shirer, Leavell, Warren, T. Myers, W. Weatherly, Ben Myers. Kneeling: Sanders (manager), M. Edens, Shuler, C. Edens, Boykin, Chandler, Lee, C. Weatherly. Front row: Scott, Gaillard, B. Shirer, Weldon, Rudisill, Ross. The Estill team boasted that they had one of the best high school running backs, regardless of class, in the state. “Buddy” Trowell had been a steady and often dynamic performer for the Green Raiders. Coach Kelly from Hillcrest noted that his team was prepared and anticipated a large crowd for the game. The Hillcrest Wildcats defeated Estill 13-0 in miserable weather to claim the Lower State Class C Championship. The game was played on a wet field, soggy after a two-day rain with a cold drizzle hindering play throughout the contest. The wet conditions limited both teams’ passing games, and there were several fumbles recorded by both sides. Teddy Ray and Weldon McCoy accounted for most of the Hillcrest offense with Buddy Trowell and Peoples being the chief offensive threats for the Estill team.

LOCALS HOPE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP The Hillcrest team began preparation for the strong Thornwell Orphanage team from Clinton, slated to be the team they would face for the State Championship. “The local school authorities made a heavy guarantee to bring this team from Clinton.” It was hoped that the game would attract a large crowd. Expectations were running high in the Hillcrest community that Coach Kelly and his Wildcats would secure their first state

championship. Hillcrest had won the Lower State championship several times but had yet to defeat the upper state champions. The championship game was scheduled for the Edmunds High field, and the weather promised to be fair and cold; however, the field should be dry and in good condition. Not much was known about the Thornwell team other than they possessed a large, fast line and their running backs were exceptional. The team was led by a fast back named Gilliam and their captain Mayers. Kelly was expected to start seven seniors and noted that his squad was in excellent shape and ready for the contest. The Thornwell team had produced a splendid record with victories over Woodruff, Greer, Duncan and several other upstate powers. Hillcrest defeated the powerful Thornwell team, 7-6, to win the State Class C Football Championship. The game was played before 300 half-frozen fans who were treated to a “fine exhibition of football by both teams.” Hillcrest scored in the third quarter with a touchdown by Langston and Teddy Ray scoring what would become the crucial extra point. In the fourth quarter McDonald from Thornwell scored but failed to make what became the deciding extra point. The game ended a minute after Thornwell’s score with Hillcrest in control of the ball.

Since his first at-bat of the season, Sumter’s centerfielder has collected nine hits in 14 trips right-handed and was hitting .667 right-handed with three doubles, 10 runs scored and six stolen bases three games into the season. His batting left-handed has been limited in college due to his success from the right side; however, he still considers himself a switch-hitter. • The Sumter Police Department took two top honors in a police shooting match hosted last month by Charleston Air Force Base. Sumter officer Earl P. Berry Jr., was named “Top Cop’ of the match with a score of 297 out of a possible 300. Sumter’s two-man team of Berry and Detective Terry

Carasmatic Creations bakery hires students with special needs BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com Cara Finley has always had two passions: baking and working with special-needs students. Opening her own bakery seemed to her to be an ideal way to combine the two. Carasmatic Creations is a bakery with made-fromscratch custom items Finley runs out of her home in Sumter. The bakery specializes in alloccasion cakes, cupcakes, muffins and cookies. Since the bakery began in 2009, Finley has had specialneeds students from her class working part-time in the business. Leah Glover, 23, has been employed at the business since she was a high school senior at Crestwood High School. Glover does the bookkeeping for Carasmatic Creations. “I’ve always enjoyed working here, and one day I want to open my own business,” Glover said. She is an accounting student

at Central Carolina Technical College. Finley said students typically help out after school or on the weekends. A dozen students have helped her out since 2009 from her classes at Crestwood, where she serves as a special-needs teacher. She will serve as a special-needs teacher at Sumter High School in the upcoming school year. “Typically, I try to get some of the older students,” she said. “Most of them do deliveries, but some help out in the kitchen. Many of the students are excellent artists who help to make the specialty orders.” Finley said special-needs students do well as entrepreneurs. Before coming to the district, she was a transition trainer in Greenwood. Her job included marketing to businesses to place special-needs students in internship programs and training in those positions. “My feeling is that a lot of students are left out of the opportunities to pursue internships or jobs because they are special needs,” she said.

CARASMATIC CREATIONS Want to see more delicious delights? http://www.carasmaticcreations.com/

Finley said she saw students thrive in the internship placements in Greenwood and went on to paid positions and even some supervisory roles in various businesses. In Sumter, it was her students who came up with the idea of selling some of her baked goods. “It just so happened that I was buying a house at the time and decided to start baking in my kitchen,” she said. After getting certification from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control to operate the bakery in her home, and receiving a business license, she started selling her baked goods. In a short amount of time, the business took off. Today, Finley’s small kitchen can bake to serve as many as 300 people at an event. “We do everything from

weddings to birthday parties to special events for various organizations,” she said. They also do well in specialty cakes, having created everything from Batman to a Clemson Tiger jersey to a ballerina cake with a complete set of edible pink dancing shoes. All of its products are made from scratch and do not contain cake mixes or starters, she said. They even make their own gum paste flour, a very sweet edible sugar dough usually made from sugar and glucose. “We use hormone-free eggs, many organic products and purchase many of our ingredients locally to support local businesses,” she said. “We even have gluten-free options for most of our products.” Finley’s primary customer base comes from the business’ website and social media. Products can be delivered or picked up and even shipped all over the world. “Because we have customers from the military, we get shipping requests from as far away

as Germany and Kuwait,” she said. “We have also shipped as far as New York, Michigan and Iowa.” Finley also participates in Icing Smiles Inc. Icing Smiles is a nonprofit organization that provides free custom celebration cakes and other treats to families impacted by the critical illness of a child, according to its website. Finley’s love of art and working with food began when her cornmeal dyed artwork was displayed at the famous Park Avenue Lever House in New York when she was 5 years old. “This love was transformed into making custom cakes, cupcakes, muffins and cookies,” she said. Finley is a self-trained baker and has had advanced training from acclaimed cake decorators and sugar artists.

Striking a balance: Are you paying for too much insurance? BY ALEX VEIGA AP Business Writer Saving money on homeowners insurance can often take a back seat. Many homebuyers fail to comparison shop for the best policies, potentially missing out on a better deal elsewhere. That means some may sign off on a policy that leaves them paying for more coverage than necessary to rebuild their home or with too little coverage for antique furniture and other valuables. “A lot of people go to one agent and they say ‘I’ve shopped,’” said Bob Hunter, director of insurance at the Consumer Federation of America. Striking a balance between buying enough insurance to protect perhaps your biggest asset and keeping costs in check is feasible.

BREAK IT DOWN The first step to identifying possible savings is to understand how the typical homeowners insurance policy is set up. Take a single-family house without any other structures on the property. Generally, a policy for such a home will have three main coverage areas: the structure, the owner’s personal belongings and liability against someone being injured on the property. If the homeowner is paying off a mortgage on the home, the lender will require they carry insurance to cover the costs to fully rebuild the house. This will typically be the most costly component of the policy. The second coverage area involves personal belongings such as furniture, housewares and rugs. Certain items, such as jewelry, a stamp collection and firearms, will have coverage caps.

Another big component of homeowners insurance is liability coverage. This is meant to shield you should you be sued by someone who gets hurt on your property. Your costs will also depend on what part of the country you live in, the projected expenses to rebuild your home, how much coverage you purchase and your deductible, among other factors.

SIZE UP COVERAGE NEEDS Your insurance company will come up with the amount of coverage needed to fully replace your house and recommend you insure it for that amount. Because construction costs are always changing it’s a good idea to review your policy annually to make sure your coverage hasn’t fallen below 80 percent of the cost to replace your home, suggests the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

Homeowners get more leeway to select how much insurance they want to gird against liability and personal property losses. The less coverage, the more you save on premiums. A detailed inventory of your belongings will help you determine how much coverage you need for your personal belongings. And if you need to buy additional protection beyond any policy caps. The NAIC has some guidelines for conducting an inventory and a worksheet here: http://www.insureuonline. org/insureu_getready_newhome.htm .

SHOP AROUND Many homeowners reach out to an insurance agent who recommends one or more insurers. Another option is to search your state insurance department website. It will typically list pricing information for the biggest insurers.

Bonding with granddaughter comes easy on boat ride

randdaddies are a special breed. I had no idea five years ago what it meant to be a granddaddy, or the joy that comes with it, but I’m catching on fast. I’m also finding out that, when it comes to my “Scooter,” a.k.a. Katie, I’m a sucker in the first degree. There is no doubt in my or any other family member’s minds that this three-yearold has her granddaddy right where she wants him. She joined us at the beach week before last for a couple of days in the sun, and as reported last week, granddaddy had to get in the sand that he despises so much. I would not do it for any other person, no sir, no one else, period, end of story. We picked her up at the arranged location Thursday evening and arrived back at the house around 7:30, where we quickly unpacked her stuff and headed off to the beach so the she could see it. The excitement was off the charts; we had to look at every sea shell on the beach and the old guy’s pockets quickly filled up with unwashed, broken pieces of shell and the accursed sand. We stayed until darkness almost overtook us. Earlier in the week, I had been to Bass Pro Shop and found a child’s rod and reel that had princesses on it. You know, Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, etc.; the handle also flashed a light when you depressed the button to release the line. It was a tossup between that one and a “Tinker Bell” rod, but Sleeping Beauty won out. Her daddy really wanted to get her something more substantial, something that was more of a “real” fishing rod, but I really didn’t care, I saw it

and the granddaddy in me took over. When my son Robert and his wife Valerie arrived Friday afternoon, I pulled out the rod to present it to Katie. You would have Earle thought I’d bought the Woodward proverbial pony; she AFIELD & loved it and wanted to practice right away. It AFLOAT took a while for her to get the whole, push the button, make the cast and release the button at the same time thing, but she was getting there and she was having a ball! We got our $14 worth within the first 30 minutes and the line hadn’t even touched the water yet. She wants to go to her other granddaddy’s — Papa’s — pond a catch a fish. Now that’s my girl! She played with, and practiced with, the rod for two days straight. Last year, I purchased a personal floatation device for Katie, but we never seemed to get around to using it; that needed to change. After a hard day on the beach Friday, and before her mom and dad could show up, Sherri and I asked her if she wanted to go for a boat ride. She had never been in a boat before, but she insisted that she wanted to go, although I’m not really sure she fully understood what that meant. We launched the boat and walked down the pier to get on board. It was while standing on the edge of the dock that the apprehension appeared on that little face. You could see the cogs turning and her mind wondering if this was really something she

Earle Woodward’s granddaughter Katie, AKA “Scooter,” is seen here with her first caught fish. wanted to do; she snuggled up in the front seat, in Nana’s lap, facing forward and thinking about backing out. I put the motor in gear and eased away from the dock at a slow speed, which seemed to be O.K. Thirty seconds — that’s about as long as it took for her to decide that she likes riding in the boat. Of course we were in a “Slow to No Wake” zone and in a sort of crowded waterway, so high speed was not coming into play right off

the bat, but when the way cleared, I heard, “Granddaddy, go super fast!” from the front seat. We threw the hammer down and the grin stretched from ear to ear. When we had gone about as far toward the ocean as we dared in a small boat and turned around and slowed down, that’s when we found out that we could reach over the side of the boat and touch the water. As old as I am, I can remember those days when my dad would drive us slowly along and let us play in the water; I wasn’t about to put a stop to this. Hey, she was wearing a PFD that was her size and Nana, a.k.a. Sherri, had a vice-like grip on the strap attached to the back of the life vest. There’s no way Nana was gonna let her fall over. We rode around to the rental, took the long way back and just enjoyed an afternoon on the water, letting a little girl be a little girl. We were out for about 45 minutes. If there was ever any need to be sure that granddaddy was completely wrapped around her finger, when that little face that was leaning over the side of the boat and watching her hand in the water, turned back to look at granddaddy with that huge smile on it, well the need to be convinced was completely eliminated at that point. Yes, when it comes to my Scooter, I’m a sucker and I spoil her rotten, I freely admit it. It’s my job, it’s what I’m supposed to do, as well as being both a state and federal law, and I’m good at it. A quick update: Scooter did get to the pond and on the first cast, with her first rod and reel, caught her first fish! Her dad and her granddad are proud!

DNR creates 3,677-acre Wateree River Heritage Preserve from donation BY S.C. DNR Haile Gold Mine has transferred three land parcels totaling 4,374 acres to the S.C. Department of Natural Resources, creating the 3,677acre Wateree River Heritage Preserve in Richland County and adding 698 acres to FortyAcre Rock Heritage Preserve in Lancaster County. The land transfers in part are to offset for impacts to wetlands and streams caused by the permitting of Haile Gold Mine in Lancaster County. “DNR is committed to partnering with the private sector, other state and federal agen-

cies and non-government organizations on mitigation strategies that involve landscape-scale conservation,” said DNR Director Alvin Taylor. “I am excited because these opportunities are yet another example of working together to enhance and preserve the natural resources of our state and make more lands available for public recreation. Our collective conservation efforts and successes here in South Carolina are as good as anywhere else in the nation.” “Haile Gold Mine deserves credit for this innovative and standard-setting mitigation plan,” Taylor said.

Cook’s Mountain and Goodwill Plantation in Richland County, respectively 1,132 and 2,545 acres, and which are adjacent properties, will be known as the Wateree River Heritage Preserve. The 698acre Rainbow Ranch in Lancaster County will become part of Forty-Acre Rock Heritage Preserve. DNR will dedicate these lands under the S. C. Heritage Trust Act, thus protecting them forever. All of these lands will be open for public use. The Rainbow Ranch lands will soon be accessible as part of Forty-Acre Rock Heritage Preserve. However, the new

Wateree River Heritage Preserve cannot be opened until the construction of a bridge on the entrance road is completed, expected in another month. DNR will implement a broad array of public uses on all these areas that will be consistent with preserving their natural condition. Anticipated public uses include hunting, fishing, bird watching, bicycling, hiking, nature study, fishing rodeos and family fishing clinics. All of the lands transferred to DNR are of high conservation value. Cook’s Mountain is part of the COWASEE Basin, a partnership habitat

protection initiative that covers 215,000 acres in the Midlands of South Carolina and includes the Congaree, Wateree and upper Santee rivers. With elevations 300 feet above the adjacent Wateree River, the site is a unique landform containing a diverse ecology and outstanding scientific, educational, aesthetic and recreational qualities. Goodwill Plantation, also in the COWASEE Basin, is an outstanding cultural and historical treasure and contains a diverse ecology and opportunities for scientific research, education and recreation.

the lake, with good reports coming from Crystal Lake and someone even fishing up the river. While the primary pattern is probably starting to be down-lining (especially on the hottest days), Lake World advises not to give up on freelines early in the morning. Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that the channel catfish bite has picked up. Anchoring on humps and points and fan-casting dip bait, herring and shrimp from 5-25 feet of water is catching good numbers. Lake Monticello Catfish: Good to very good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that free-line drifting for numbers of fish has been working very well, and anglers are filling coolers with catfish using that method right now. Both cut herring and shrimp will catch fish. The bite for big fish has also been pretty good. Anchoring on humps and points that allow you to fan cast baits from 10 to 40 feet of water has been the most pattern. Cut herring, shad and white perch cut into small pieces about the size of a mussel are the best bet. Lake Wylie Catfish: Good to very good. Captain Rodger Taylor reports that catfishing is strong on both the northern and southern ends of the lake. Catfish typically spawn when water temperatures are in the 78-82 degree range, and with water temperatures entering that range fish are starting to spawn and even a few post-spawn males are beginning to be caught. The spawn will continue through late June and into July. Rodger’s boat is catching fish by targeting deep drops and points with vertical drops, and current flow is critical. Overall anchoring has been the most successful pattern and they have not spent much time drifting. Lots of channel catfish are being caught, a few flatheads, and good numbers of 8-15 pound blues. Sizes are down from a

month or two ago but there are still some 30-pound fish mixed in. Cut gizzard shad have been the best bait, although cut bluegill will be used more as the summer goes on. For flatheads live bluegill and live white perch will both catch fish. Lake Thurmond Catfish: Very good. Captain William Sasser reports that Clarks Hill catfishing remains very strong, and both channel and flathead catfish can still be found spawning in the rocks around bridges as well as the dam riprap. The best technique is to fish a piece of cut herring on a Carolina rig or a split shot rig, similar to how you would fish a plastic worm, by casting the rig up towards the bank and letting it fall in between the rocks as you work it back to the boat. Use your trolling motor to maneuver parallel to the rocks. Early morning is the best time, and a mixed bag of fish including very nice cats can be caught this way. Striped and Hybrid Bass: Very good. Captain William Sasser reports that early and late fish are up tight against the riprap by the dam, and while a surprisingly low number of anglers are there targeting them the bite is very good. These fish are eating downlined live herring but it would also be possible to plug fish for them. After that early morning bite the better fish are being caught on down-lined live herring fished off main lake points on the bottom in 50-60 feet of water. Lake Greenwood Largemouth Bass: Fair to good. Guide Brad Fowler (864-934-5813), winner of the ABA 2-day tournament on Lake Greenwood last weekend, reports that he spent a lot of time both days trying to find a shallow bite with poppers, buzzbaits and the like and never had a bite. He caught the winning fish by moving to offshore brushpiles that seem to produce each year and fishing crankbaits, drop shot rigs, and shakey

head worms in 18-23 feet of water. The fish seemed to be schooled up very well on the offshore stuff, and on several occasions he would have fish chasing the bass that had eaten his lure and trying to steal it away. Lake Russell Crappie: Good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that his boat is catching a lot of crappie right now, but they have generally been running a bit on the smaller side. Perhaps the bigger fish are recovering from the spawn. The best pattern for catching numbers of fish has been fishing around shallow brushpiles in about 15 feet of water, or around laydowns on shady banks in about the same depth. The best cover has been up the creeks, and fishing a minnow about 3 feet under a float has been the best way to put fish in the boat. Bass: Good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that the herring spawn is starting to wind down on Lake Russell, but there are still a lot of bass up shallow around shallow points, rip rap and bridge pilings. Some very healthy 4-pound spots and 5-pound largemouth have been caught recently. Early in the morning throwing a medium-sized Chug Bug in chrome and blue colors has been working, and fishing flukes either weightless or on jigheads has also been effective on long, sloping points. While most of the fish seem to be trying to fatten up on blueback herring there are still a few straggler fish bedding. Lake Hartwell Striped and Hybrid Bass: Very good. Captain Bill Plumley reports striped bass fishing is very good right now and his boat is catching strong limits of fish daily, mostly on down-lined live herring. Fish can still be caught in the major rivers but they are moving out of these areas and into the main lake; targeting coves and ditches in 30-40 feet of water is a productive pattern. Fish are also being caught on points in 30-35 feet of

water and as the water continues to heat up fish will continue to get deeper. There is not much schooling activity being reported but a bit of surface action can be found some days in the morning, although it usually does not last long. Catfish: Good to very good. Captain Bill Plumley reports that channel catfish action is wide open on Lake Hartwell, and pretty much all over the lake from the dam to the backs of creeks channel cats are feeding heavily in 2-20 feet of water. The fish will eat worms, nightcrawlers, dip baits, cut herring and more. Lake Keowee Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Good. Guide Brad Fowler reports that first thing in the morning and lasting for about 30-45 minutes there is fairly reliably a good topwater bite on Lake Keowee right now. The fish are not really schooling but if anglers pull up on shallow, flat points and cast their favorite topwater lures they should get bites from fish that are probably chasing threadfin. After the sun comes up boat traffic usually does a number on Lake Keowee during the summer months, but anglers can catch fish by fishing shakey head worms, drop shot rigs, and in certain places Carolina rigs in 20-30 feet of water. Lake Jocassee Trout: Fair. Jocassee Outdoor Center reports that trout fishing has been off a little bit, and anglers are not quite sure why the fish are not biting more reliably. Fish are still being caught, but right now a very good day for a few people fishing on a boat would be 3 or 4 fish. Overall the best action is coming trolling minnows and spoons in 25-40 feet of water. First thing anglers are fishing the intakes, and there is also a decent amount of fishing activity up the rivers. Less people are targeting the main lake.

FISHING REPORTS Santee Cooper System Crappie: Good. Captain Steve English reports that crappie are in a post-spawn/ early summer phase fishing minnows around brushpiles in 15-25 feet of water. Bream: Good. Captain Steve English reports that anglers are still catching bluegills in shallow water. If you look around you can find some fish bedding, and the bluegills seem to come in and out regularly. Lake Wateree Catfish: Good to very good. Captain Rodger Taylor reports that catfish typically spawn when water temperatures are in the 78-82 degree range, and with water temperatures entering that range fish are starting to spawn and even a few post-spawn males are beginning to be caught. The spawn will continue through late June and into July. First thing Rodger is starting trips by anchoring on points in the creek and river channels, and on days with current this can be a productive pattern. However, at times it takes a lot of patience and will not produce - especially if there is little to no flow. Drifting (with the wind, or the trolling motor on windless days) has been a better way to catch numbers of fish, and blue catfish in the 6-12 pound range have been biting very well. Rodger has been targeting ledges and drops in 15-20 feet of water, and blue catfish and channel catfish have typically each made up about 50% of the catch. As on Lake Wylie cut gizzard shad have been the best bait, although cut bluegill will be used more as the summer goes on. Lake Murray Striped bass: Good. Lake World reports that striper are definitely in the area of the dam and starting to move into a typical summer pattern, but the results of the recent Lake World striper tournament attest that that is only part of the story. Fish were caught all over
