County’s new spending plan gets first-reading approval

BY MISSY CORRIGAN Special to The Item he alarm goes off and you hit the snooze button, convincing yourself that you can catch a few more minutes of sleep, skip the workout and fit it in somewhere else during the day. Halfway through the day you realize that your schedule is getting full and that you will not get your chance to exercise. Frustrated, you tell yourself you will not let this happen again tomorrow.

Sound familiar?

CORRIGAN Even when we have the best intentions, time just isn’t always on our side. We can come up with a million excuses to skip a workout. If no one is counting on you to show up, it’s easy to not follow through.

If you find it easy to make excuses, I suggest finding a workout partner who has the same goals. Research shows that when you have a partner who is focused on the same goal, each person is more successful than if he or she goes at it alone. A workout partner holds you accountable for showing up and doing your part. A partner is there to challenge you and encourage you more than you would yourself.

Having a supportive social network is one key factor to achieving your goals.

Research shows that a person’s risk of becoming obese rises 2 percent for every 5 obese people he or she is in contact with. You can adopt unhealthy behaviors from your social network, but you can also adopt healthy behaviors from them as well. But you have to surround yourself with strong, healthy people who motivate you to be better.

Having a health partner increases your chance for adopting lifelong behaviors that you will continue to benefit from. You have someone to share your struggles and successes with along the way. Reaching a goal and celebrating a success is a lot more enjoyable and meaningful when you have someone to share it with. If you

Councilman Charles Edens cast the lone vote against the

budget, while Councilman Artie Baker said he was unlikely to support passage of the millage increase but voted to advance the process and keep the county on schedule. Councilman Jimmy Byrd was absent Friday.

Camp connects Cub Scouts to

THE FORCE

BY JADE ANDERSON janderson@theitem.com Cub Scout leaders know how to keep boys busy during the summer.

Twenty-five first- through fifth-graders attended a camp at Alice Drive Baptist Church this past week.

“That’s really great for our first year,” said Kristi Hipkins, camp director and committee chairwoman for Pack 323.

“They are all signed up as Scouts, but next year, we hope to draw some into scouting.”

With a Star Wars theme, the boys wore T-shirts proclaiming “Scouting: Hope for the Future, Pee Dee Area Council” featuring the mascots for the various age groups —Tiger, Wolf, Bear and Webelo — in space uniforms. They also had “light saber training,” a pool noodle with a handle, used every day SEE SCOUTS, PAGE A7

2012 was biggest population surge for Sumter in decade

BY BRADEN BUNCH bbunch@theitem.com Sumter County grew by more than 700 people in 2012, the largest single-year growth the county has experienced in a decade, according to figures released by the U.S. Census Bureau.

According to the estimates, Sumter County’s population grew to 108,052 people in

2012, or nearly 0.6 percent.

The last time Sumter County grew by more than 710 people was in 2002, when the population increased by 751 people, or 0.7 percent, to 105,380 people.

Sumter County’s population growth in 2012 was slightly larger than the population declines experienced

by Clarendon and Lee counties, which combined shrank

by 535 people in 2012. Clarendon County’s population dropped in 2012 by 273 people, or 0.8 percent, to 34,357, while the Lee County population fell by 262 people, or 1.4 percent.

The local growth comes after Sumter experienced a modest decline in 2011, and during the past decade, Sumter County has seen its population fluctuate from year to

year. Over the last decade, Sumter County has grown by 2.5 percent, while Clarendon County has grown by 0.4 and Lee County’s population has declined by 0.7 percent.

The modest growth in the Sumter area comes despite South Carolina continuing to grow at a more rapid pace statewide. Last year, South Carolina grew by 1.1 percent to more than 4.72 million

people. Since 2002, the Palmetto State population has grown by 15 percent.

Sumter County continues to be the 15th largest county in the state, ranking between Pickens and Orangeburg counties. Clarendon County’s population ranks 28th out of the 46 counties statewide, while Lee County ranks 42nd.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

Perry Parks, Lakewood High School head football coach Over the past year, Lakewood High School Head Football Coach Perry Parks has been working with the school’s football team in his first year as head coach.

The 29-year-old Sumter High School graduate earned a degree in recreation sports management from Coastal Carolina University in 2006 and came back to Sumter, in part, to “give back to the community.”

Parks will also become a father later this year as he and his wife, Katie Parks, are expecting their first child.

HOW DID THE LAST FOOTBALL SEASON GO?

It was a tough year. It was a rebuilding year. We are really trying to keep the kids interested, and we’ve had good attendance. At the end of the day, it’s about bettering these kids.

Football is just a game. We didn’t win as many games, but we didn’t have any discipline problems, and we put two kids in college. I also want my players to know that community service is also very important.

We love to win them all, but at the end of the day, it’s more than wins or losses.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT FOOTBALL SEASON?

YOU ARE A FATHER FIGURE TO A LOT OF YOUR FOOTBALL PLAYERS. HOW DO YOU PROVIDE THE BEST EXAMPLE FOR THEM?

We’ve been working out since last November, right after last season ended. The team

I feel like I’ve got 62 kids who all have different problems. I definitely feel the

pressure sometimes, but I love being there for them. I want to provide a real-life example so they can aspire to do some of the same things.

HOW DOES BECOMING AN ACTUAL FATHER FEEL?

Your responsibilities shift. I have to manage my

job and manage my family.

Right now, I make sure to have one day for family time. I make sure my wife knows I love her. I tell all my coaches if there is anything to do with your family or education, it comes first.

County ready for seasonal battle against mosquitoes

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com Preparations are underway to spray for mosquitoes throughout Sumter County starting next week.

The Mosquito Control Program will send out trucks to spray for mosquitoes starting Monday and continuing regularly throughout the summer, said Alan Penland, program director for Sumter County.

“We’re going to have two or three drivers going out four or five nights a week,” Penland said. “We’ll go out in the early evening and spray for five, six, seven hours depending on the severity of (mosquito) season, whether it rains and things like that.”

For the first time this year, Vector Control has been turned over from the state Department of Health and Environmental Control to local government. The program this year is funded jointly by the city of Sumter and Sumter County, and Penland is taking on the program in addition to his current job as golf course superintendent at Crystal Lakes Golf Course.

application,” he said, “and (Sumter County Administrator Gary) Mixon asked me if I wanted the job.”

The start of this season’s spraying operation has been delayed because of the transition from DHEC, Penland said, but the trucks used to spray were purchased by the city, and the program will be operating with the same people who were already doing the spraying locally.

Anyone with certain health conditions that could be affected by spraying operations, such as respiratory problems or allergies, is asked to call Sumter County Vector Control for information on when and where the trucks will be operating. Beekeepers are also encouraged to call, since the chemicals involved can affect bees as well.

Vector Control can be reached at (803) 774-0045 or (803) 774-0044. The phone lines to those numbers were still being installed this week, but Penland said they should now be operational. Callers should give their home phone number, address and exact directions to their property.

areas with mosquito problems should call Vector Control with the exact location, along with directions and a phone number.

Residents are also encouraged to prevent breeding grounds for mosquitoes from forming on their property. Anything that holds as much as one-half inch of still water has the potential to become a breeding area for mosquitoes, Penland said, including flower pots, buckets, tarps or anything else that can accumulate water.

Excessive brush on a property can also create an environment for insects. Bird baths and pet bowls should also be cleaned regularly to prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs in them.

Mosquitoes can carry the potentially fatal West Nile virus. The Centers for Disease Control recorded 5,674 cases of the disease in 2012, resulting in 286 deaths.

In addition to the nighttime spraying, Penland said the program will also have people out during the day spreading “larvacides” on bodies of water to kill the insects in their larval stage.

Sumter man charged with sexual assault A Wedgefield man is in jail accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl.

Jamaal Kareen Colclough, 29, of 5665 Wessex Drive, Wedgefield, was arrested Thursday and charged with second-degree COLCLOUGH criminal sexual conduct with a minor.

On Monday, Colclough reportedly assaulted a 15-year-old girl at her home by digitally penetrating the girl.

The assault was reported to the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, and a warrant was issued for Colclough’s arrest over the incident Wednesday.

The suspect is being held pending trial at the Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center on a $100,000 surety bond.

Development board, teen group recognized for litter program

RIGHT: Harry “Magoo�

Mckee, S.C. District 2 Quartermaster for the VFW, talks about the importance of the American Flag during the Sumter Elks commemoration of Flag Day on Friday.

The seven variations of the American Flag were presented as well as a history of the flags. Flag Day was started by the Elks in 1909.

FROM STAFF REPORTS Palmetto Pride, the state’s anti-litter campaign, has recognized a litter program of the Sumter Development Board for its work in keeping Live Oak Industrial Park clean. The organization named the joint program of the board and the South Sumter Teen Leadership Council as the Adopt a Highway County Group of the Year for 2012. “We are grateful for your dedication to keeping your community clean and safe for all residents,� reads the awards letter from Palmetto Pride. “You know as well as we do that litter is more than an eyesore. The negative impacts of litter on our neighborhoods and environment can be detrimental to our quality of life.�

Freddie Gilbert, the Sumter County sheriff’s deputy who organizes the program, said the award shows the kids involved that they can make a big difference through small, positive actions. “It’s very rewarding. It’s great when good work gets noticed,�

Gilbert said. “But it’s also promising. It shows our young people that civic pride and community involvement does make a difference and does get rewarded. These kids have a great sense of accomplishment, and I think that’s important.�

BELOW: Frank Holloway stands at attention while Boy Scouts James Houser,15 and Julian Nauenburg,14, offer their salute during the Elk’s Logde’s celebration of Flag Day on Friday.

Jay Schwedler, president of the Development Board, said the board had been fielding complaints about litter in the park for years. “We’ve tried several things, even getting out there and cleaning the park up ourselves, but the partnership with the Teen Leadership Council is the first effort that’s really worked over the long term. Since we created this program, complaints about litter in the park have been virtually eliminated,� he said. “We recognized this effort in 2010 at our annual meeting, and for the kids to receive statewide recognition is a testament to Freddie’s leadership and the kids’ efforts to make a difference. Sumter County appreciates what they do,� Schwedler said.

The Teen Leadership Council is comprised of about a dozen South Sumter youths from 10 to 18 years old. The group picks up litter in Sumter’s largest industrial park one Saturday each month. Gilbert said while the kids in the program come from different circumstances, they all share a willingness to serve their community. “These are good kids, and they want to be involved,� he said. “I’m glad they have the opportunity to make a difference for their community.�

Sumter Little Theatre play ‘creates rich tapestry’

BY JANE G. COLLINS Special to The Item There is often a fine line determining the genre of artistic forms.

Whether the Sumter Little Theatre’s current play, “Visiting Mr. Green,� written by Jeff Baron, should be classified as a comedy or a drama is immaterial. It may be a comedic drama. Regardless, it is a success. The twoman play creates a rich tapestry which (according to my grandson) challenges “our mentality as human beings.�

David Brown personifies the physical and mental Mr. Green, an 86-year-old devout Jew who has recently lost his beloved wife. Brown explores a gamut of emotions — love, tenderness, anguish, aggression, forgetfulness and confusion — with impeccable attention to detail. He shuffles, walks with stooped shoulders, eats with

REVIEW hungry relish. He is, at all times, Mr. Green.

Trey Hobbs portrays Ross Gardiner, the young man sentenced to community service for almost hitting Mr. Green who has stepped in front of Gardiner’s car, with a variety of carefully drawn attitudes. Even his knocking on the door reveals the changing nature of his relationship with Mr. Green. Both Brown and Hobbs are well matched, undeniably capable and believable in their respective roles.

They endear themselves to the audience with their honest charm and poignant feelings of loss and isolation.

Beautifully scripted, “Visiting Mr. Green� exposes the audience to many issues of the modern dilemma and how man’s religion often is the core and catalyst of both strength and turmoil. The delicious humor revolves around

| Mr. Green’s irascible nature and Gardiner’s youthful energy.

Tension created at the end of Act I provides several significant focuses for Act II. Both the play’s many layered conflicts and the actors’ strong characterizations propel the play into provocative and evocative challenges. The events are emphasized even more by the performance acumen of Brown and Hobbs.

Brown enriches the audience with marvelously moving scenes of Mr. Green’s struggles; Hobbs contributes compassion and vulnerability. The myriad issues introduced in the play encourage the audience to face controversy, convention and conviction.

Director Eric Bultman delivers a timely play, well developed characters, honest stage movement (and some good stagehand manipulation).

Ross Gardiner, right, played by Trey Hobbs, helps the elderly Mr. Green (David Brown) to his feet after a fall. The actors star in the two-character play “Visiting Mr. Green� at the Sumter Little Theatre. Call SLT at (803) 775-2150 for more information and reservations.

Proposal allows state to keep planes COLUMBIA — A legislative panel working on a budget compromise has agreed to keep South Carolina’s two state planes but not let colleges use them for athletic recruiting.

A House-Senate conference committee voted Friday not to sell the planes that statewide oicers and legislators can use at no cost to them.

Selling the planes was part of the Senate’s budget plan. But the idea failed in conference with the panel’s two House Republicans voting against it. he panel did ban coaches from using the planes following reports of their use for Clemson’s football recruiting.

Clemson did so under current law allowing agencies to use them for oicial business and pay by the hour.

Tipsters could get $100 COLUMBIA — Tipsters who report drunken drivers in Columbia can get a $100 reward under a new initiative.

The Report A Drunk Driver program was launched Friday by AAA Carolinas’ Foundation for Traffic Safety and officials with the City of Columbia.

People can call 911 and give details about someone they suspect of driving drunk. The calls will be coded specifically for the RADD campaign, and tipsters get $100 if the person is convicted.

AAA says South Car-

olina ranks third highest in the nation for drunken driving deaths per vehicle miles traveled. In 2011, Richland and Lexington counties recorded 13 percent of the state’s drunken driving deaths.

Unclaimed remains of 4 vets buried FLORENCE — Four veterans whose remains were unclaimed have been buried at the Florence National Cemetery.

Veterans and veterans’ organizations as well as community members gathered at the cemetery for the burials Thursday organized by the Missing In America Project.

The project works to locate, identify and bury unclaimed cremated remains of American veterans.

On Thursday, the cremated remains of Navy Seaman Charles Bryce Carrick, machinery repairman 3rd Class Joseph Robert Ochlech and Marine Corps veterans Pfc. Aluster Lee Farmer and Pvt. David Earl Newens were buried.

They were unclaimed after having died in Horry County.

Officials with the project say the veterans may have been homeless, estranged from their families or have no surviving family members.

Sanford, coming back from the scandal of an extramarital affair that derailed his political career, was outspent but still defeated Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to win the congressional seat he held for three terms in the 1990s.

Campaign reports filed with the Federal Election Commission show all the candidates together spent just under $6 million with an additional $1.3 million poured in by outside groups, most of it to oppose Sanford.

The Sanford campaign spent about $1.1 million compared to about $1.8 million for Colbert Busch. State Rep. Chip Limehouse, R-Charleston, also spent just over $1 million in seeking the GOP nomination.

Missing teen found dead ELGIN — Kershaw County authorities said an autistic teenager drowned in a swimming pool near the school where he lived.

Sheriff Jim Matthews said the 15-year-old boy was reported missing from Pine Grove school about 5:30 a.m. Friday.

About that time, deputies also received a call about a burglary at a home near the residential school in Elgin for students with developmental disabilities.

The resident discovered the teen’s body about six hours later.

Matthews said the teen was already dead.

He said one of his deputies searched the pool area hours earlier.

The teen had climbed over a chainlink fence. The school reported him missing after a door alarm indicated he’d walked away.

SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 2013

HEAT from Page A1 early July. But even temperatures in the 80s can quickly cause heat exhaustion, heat stroke and sun stroke for those who are unprepared, according to former Emergency Management Director Robbie Baker.

“My best advice is that if you go outside, go to places like malls, the HOPE centers and churches where it’s going to be cooler or where you’ll have things that can keep you cooler,” he told The Item in 2011. “If you plan to go outside and carry out a strenuous activity, hydrate yourself the day before you go out. Don’t wait until the day you go outside.”

Hayes said the best option is to eliminate strenuous activities altogether, if at all possible. And residents should avoid too much time in the sun.

“It can cause the skin to burn and lose its ability to cool itself,” he said.

“The main thing is to remain as hydrated as possible. And if you are going to do something strenuous, you need to take frequent breaks so you don’t over exert yourself.”

Hayes said it’s tempting to reach for a cold beer or cocktail while on the beach or at the lake but that people need to remain cautious.

“Alcohol means even more dehydration,” he said. “And even those high-caffeine drinks should be avoided. You need water or some kind of drinks that provide hydration. You also need only a small meal before you go out. You shouldn’t have a big, heavy meal.”

Cindy Cook, manager of the Sumter SPCA, is hopeful that residents trying to beat the heat will remember their pets this year as well.

“These pets are the same as people, maybe even worse when it comes to heat,” she said. “They’re

walking around with what amounts to a wool coat for 365 days each year, so you can imagine leaving them in a car. Even with the window cracked, a car can reach up to 125 degrees on the inside in just a matter of minutes.”

Cook said the best thing a pet owner can do is leave an animal at home. She said while letting a dog ride in the “open air” of a truck bed might seem like a good idea, it can be just as dangerous as leaving the pet locked inside a car.

And short-muzzle dogs — pugs, Boston terriers and boxers, for example — should remain inside entirely on days where the mercury rises above the mid-80s.

Lt. Don Florence said the Sumter Police Department is doing its part to help human residents remain hydrated. Operation Hydration is ongoing throughout the rest of spring and summer, he said, providing bottled water to some of the area’s neediest residents.

“We normally do that when the temperature is over 100 degrees,” Florence said. “We’re out in the public, especially around areas where we know people are going to be out and about. We go out to areas where we know homeless people are gathering.”

Florence said aside from helping fight heat-related medical conditions, the department sees the effort as a way to curb crime.

“It’s maybe a help in (stopping) some of the potential fights that can break out in public areas where a lot of people gather on these hot days,” Florence said. “People get hot, and tempers get short.”

He said the department relies on its funds as well as donations from local groups and individuals to make the project a success.

“When we run low on donations,

THE ITEM

we may have to go out and purchase water if we have the money in our budget,” he said. “We have partnership with church groups, and we’ll gladly accept donations of bottled water to help out.”

United Ministries of Sumter County is helping by giving fans “to those who can’t afford to buy them,” Executive Director Mark Champagne said.

“A fan at least moves the air around a little,” he said. “Some don’t have ceiling fans, and if their home has no shade, it can get very hot inside.”

The organization gives away between 30 and 50 each year, Champagne said, and has been doing so for the past 10 years at least. Residents come in for an interview and must bring their Social Security card and picture ID before they are given a fan.

In rare cases, Champagne said the program has given out air-conditioning units for residents with medical conditions that make extreme heat situations even more life-threatening than usual.

He said that though the program runs through September, August is the busiest month for demands.

“We mostly give out box fans,” Champagne said. “We’ve had Bible study groups donate pretty large numbers before. We welcome any donations we can get.”

United Ministries is open from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, but those seeking assistance are asked to come before 9 a.m. To help with the box fan program, call (803) 775-0757. To help with Operation Hydration, call (803) 436-2700.

SCOUTS from Page A1 against “droids” made from pool noodles and PVC pipe.

“I like all the activities, but my favorite was the Jedi training,” said 9-year-old Derek Smith.

Hipkins thanked Keith Oakley for providing the piping.

Other activities included moon walking in a bounce house donated by Mark Songer; science experiments with bouncy balls, marshmallow shooters and water rockets; and flag football taught by Sumter High School graduate John Dial.

“We want them to realize scouting is learning through activities,” Hipkins said.

“We see this as a personal investment. We want our sons to be functioning adults when they graduate high school and go into the community.”

The camp featured an obstacle course, a life-size KerPlunk game, Twister using only fingers and a nature walk as well.

“I liked the nature walk,” said Daniel Braden, 8. “I like all the things Ms. Kristi did and set up for us. It is awesome.”

Many boys loved the Angry Birds game of using a giant sling shot to shoot objects off a stack of boxes. Sometimes, they knocked over the boxes, too.

“My favorite is the Angry Birds,” said Kaden Nivens, also 8. “It’s (the camp) really good. It’s not that hot, and I’m having fun.”

The activities encouraged the youths to do their best, which is part of the Cub Scout promise, Hipkins said, and many touch on the Cub Scout’s 12 Core Values such as cooperation, health and fitness and perseverance.

Representatives from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office and Petco also came to speak to the boys.

Hipkins thanked Harvin Packing for donating hot dogs, Piggly Wiggly on Broad for donating 100 push pops and the church for allowing the Cub Scouts to use the facility.

OBITUARIES LOTUS H. CHANDLER Lotus Flanders Holladay Chandler, widow of James Ryan Chandler, of Cades, passed away peacefully Wednesday, June 12, 2013, at age 94 at Morningside Assisted Living in Sumter.

Lotus was born in Macon, Ga., on Armistice Day (now Veterans CHANDLER Day) on Nov. 11, 1918, to the late John Henry Holladay and Ruth Flanders Holladay amid the celebration of the end of World War I. She was named for her mother’s favorite sister, who had died earlier that year.

Lotus’ early years were spent in Sumter and Darlington. She graduated from high school in Wrightsville, Ga., and subsequently from Andrew Junior College in Cuthbert, Ga., with a degree in Dramatic Arts and later from the University of South Carolina with a degree in Elementary Education.

Lotus and Ryan met during World War II when she was a teacher in Greeleyville and he was a captain in the U.S. Army. They married in Baltimore and lived there during his last year of military service before moving to the Hebron community where they lived together until Ryan’s death in 1994, shortly before what would have been their 50th anniversary.

Lotus moved to Sumter eight years later, first to Covenant Place and then to Morningside.

Lotus was a firstgrade teacher for most of her career. She taught for many years at Hebron School, Salem Academy in New Zion and Cades School. She loved working with young children and

A7

| liked to say that she “never got out of the first grade.” Lotus also taught the Ladies Bible Class and Adult Bible Class at Hebron United Methodist Church and Hebron Independent Church. A prolific writer, Lotus wrote and published two books, “The Book of Proverbs in Rhyme” and “Ecclesiastes in Rhyme.”

In addition to writing, Lotus enjoyed music, dancing, playing the piano, working in the yard, antiquing with her husband, and most of all, spending time with her children and grandchildren. She was a town girl at heart but spent many happy years of country life raising a family and serving her community and churches. With her positive attitude and sense of humor, Lotus was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.

The family wants to thank the staff of Morningside Assisted Living for their loving care and support over the past five-and-a-half years.

A cancer survivor of many years, Lotus is survived by a daughter, Carol Chandler (Dabbs) Briley (Randy Briley); a son, Dr. James Ryan Chandler Jr. (Jane Huff Chandler); four grandchildren, Lauren Dabbs Renaud (Andrew Renaud), Mary Anna Chandler, James Ryan Chandler III and John Kenneth Chandler; a brother, John Henry Holladay Jr. (Laura Johnstone Holladay); several sisters-in-law and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

Visitation will be held from 1 to 2 p.m. today at the fellowship hall of Hebron Independent Church.

Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. today at Hebron Independent Church. Burial and

committal services will immediately follow at Hebron Independent Church cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Bethany Baptist Church in Bishopville, Hebron Independent Church in Cades or the American Cancer Society.

Brockington Funeral Home, Lake City, is in charge of arrangements.

GOT HOT? - GET COOL!

BUDGET from Page A1 Larry Blanding and council members Eugene Baten and Naomi Sanders, who voted in favor of the budget.

Council member Vivian Fleming-McGhaney abstained.

This forced council to convene Friday’s specially called budget workshop with no margin of error left for passing a funding ordinance before the endof-the-month deadline.

Still, comments from council members Friday showed disagreement remains on how best to handle the county’s deficit, especially concerning the proposed property tax millage rate increase designed to raise an additional $1.5 million.

McGhaney said she didn’t want the budget to pass on such a divided vote and called again on her colleagues to come to a consensus.

“I hope we can pass this unanimously,” she said. “I hope we can show that, while we may have fundamental differences on some things, Sumter County is not divided.”

But the other members don’t seem to think that kind of unity is possible. Baten, council’s vice chairman, said such a result might be possible in a “heavenly world,” but reality is different.

“We’ve always been divided. We often pass things 4-3,” he said. “To think we can pass this budget unanimously is, honestly, like believing in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny.”

Baten said the proposed millage increase will only cost taxpayers less than a dollar more a month, and would not impose a great burden on property owners.

“Is $10 more a year really going to affect anybody’s quality of life?” he said. “I don’t believe that, and I don’t think anybody on this council believes that.”

But Baker said the latest increase would add to the burden caused by previous millage increases at the county- and schooldistrict levels.

“What I’m hearing is that some folks have seen their taxes go up 20 mills over the last two years,” he said.

“What they’re asking is that we not do it this year. Not when they’ve

If you are just starting your running program, partnering with a seasoned runner can bring about disappointment on both

been hit so hard already.”

Baten said ultimate responsibility for the county’s budget rests with the state government, which he accused of not funding local government to the necessary level.

“They’ve underfunded us by 3-plus million dollars. This year, we’re $960,000 underfunded,” he said.

“There’s no reason they can’t fund us because they had an unprojected $200 million this year, but some Republicans in the House and the Senate want to play games with the counties. They want us to make up the difference.”

Also during Friday’s meeting, county attorney Johnathan Bryan stressed to council they are quickly coming upon the deadline for approving a budget.

State law requires a public hearing to be held on the proposal before it receives final approval, and a public hearing must be advertised 15 days in advance. After Tuesday’s vote, an ad for a new public hearing on June 28 ran in Thursday’s Item, making the hearing in two weeks’ time the earliest, as well as the latest, the budget can be passed.

“The law says the county shall have an ordinance in place by July 1,” Bryan said.

“And there shall be no less than seven days between second and third readings. ... That really is the 11th hour.”

Council asked county staff to come up with alternatives to the millage increase for members to consider at their next budget meeting on June 21. McGhaney proposed the county cover the gap with money out of reserved funds instead of raising taxes, even if it means reserves drop below the minimum amount recommended by county policy.

Council also approved a budget request from Baker to allocate an extra $15,000 to the Sumter County Museum to assist in the museum’s search for a new director. That money will come from reserve funds. The motion passed 5-0 with Sanders abstaining.

sides. Be sure that you have something in common with each other so you can share your life experiences and build a connection. Lastly, find someone with a similar schedule. If you are a morning person and your partner prefers evenings, it may not work.

If you can’t find a workout partner, seek out a fitness group that can provide the support you need in order to be successful.

“I thought Jacob played a great game,” Johnson said. “I was proud of his effort.”

WINANS from Page B1 damage in his knee.

“I really wanted to play college ball,” Winans said.

“I’ve got a sister who went to Flo-Dar and I have some family in the area, so I knew the school pretty well.

“I’ve got a good feeling about it and I’m really excited to be going there.”

Although he had talked with the University of South Carolina Sumter and a few other schools, FDTC was the only real suitor, Winans said.

But that was just fine with him.

“I really like their program,” he said. “They’ve been solid for a while now and I really like the coaching staff over there.”

Winans impressed the Stingers coaching staff with a solid bounce-back year for the Swampcats.

Winans went 5-1 with a 2.50 earned run average and allowed 18 walks and struck out 35 batters in 31 innings pitched.

3 0

The Sumter Junior P-15’s lost to South Florence 3-0 on Tuesday at Riley Park.

Chase Belk took the loss despite striking out 11 in 6 1/3 innings. He allowed three hits and three walks.

He also had a double for Sumter, which fell to 2-3 on the season.

On Saturday at Riley Park, the Junior P-15’s dropped a doubleheader to Greer, losing 6-5 and 5-1.

In the first game, Robert James, Brandon Spittle, Evan Todd and Reese Hankins each had two hits.

Hankins had a double and a run batted in, while Spittle scored two runs. Spittle allowed one unearned run in three innings.

In the second game, Belk pitched 4 2/3 innings of scoreless relief. James had two hits.

At Lake City on June 4, Sumter beat Lake City 17-10. Spittle had two hits and two walks, scoring four runs. Matthew Miles had a hit, four walks and two runs, Edward McMillan had a hit and three walks and Todd had a hit and two runs.

The Junior P-15’s had 10 hits, 16 walks and were hit by five pitches.

Johnson also praised Eppley.

“Once he came in we couldn’t seem to find the can,” he said.

“He’s a great pitcher.”

The P-15’s travel to Florence today for a 7 p.m. game at Legion Field. Johnson said Javon Martin will start on the mound for Sumter.

Sumter travels to Hartsville on Sunday for a 7 p.m. game.

Sumter will again be without Taylor McFaddin and Will Smith, who are playing in the NorthSouth All-Star Games this weekend.

After floating pieces of cartilage in his knee ended his junior season in surgery, Winans said he actually came back stronger this year.

“I don’t know; maybe it was a blessing in disguise,” he said. “I had to come back and work really hard to get back out on the mound this year, and I actually threw harder this year than I did last year.”

Winans was used as a starter this season at LMA, but has been a relief pitcher in the past and will likely pitch out of the bullpen in college, he said.

“I think the main thing for me is just to become more consistent,” Winans said.

His former head coach, Billy Sylvester, echoed that sentiment.

“Blake’s got a good fastball with a lot of movement,” Sylvester said. “When he was able to get ahead of batters and keep the ball down, he was as good as anybody. That’s going to be the main thing for him.

“But I think he’ll be successful in college, especially against aggressive hitters, and he’s only going to get better.”

U.S. OPEN from Page B1 and still very much in the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how anyone is going to separate too far from the field,â&#x20AC;? Mickelson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There might be a hot round tomorrow, and they might get a hot round on Sunday, but unlikely to be the same player.â&#x20AC;?

No one was hotter than Horschel, playing in his first U.S. Open since he was a 19-year-old in college.

Nothing is tougher than Merion, the little course in the tony suburbs of Philadelphia that even in rain-softened conditions is showing plenty of might. And to think there was chatter at the start of the week about the potential for the first 62 in major champi-

onship history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perhaps next time you guys will believe when we say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not that easy that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not that easy,â&#x20AC;? Geoff Ogilvy said after a 70.

That put him at 4-over 144, which gave him and dozens of others a legitimate shot going into the weekend.

Luke Donald (72), Justin Rose (69) and Steve Stricker (69) were at even-par 140.

The surprise were a pair of amateurs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Michael Kim of Cal and Cheng-Tsung Pan of Taiwan.

They were 2 under for their round and among those who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish.

The long day, brought on by storm delays on Thursday, began with cool conditions and patches of light rain that eventually gave way to sunshine. That led players

BASEBALL from Page B1 rival North Carolina State (49-14) and UCLA (44-17) against No. 4 seed LSU (57-9).

The teams that make it through double-elimination bracket play will advance to the best-of-three finals that start June 24.

After the Hoosiers won their super regional at Florida State, basketball coach Tom Crean said Indiana was now a baseball state. Coach Tracy Smith said he appreciated Creanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comment but that, as an Indiana native, he knows baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place.

Right now, that place is Omaha. Like other teams that play in the CWS for the first time, they are sure to be the favorites of the locals who will fill up the stadium.

One of the Hoosiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; preseason goals, as stated in big letters on a clubhouse wall back in Bloomington, Ind., was to get to Omaha even though they had never made it out of regionals in their only other NCAA tournament appearances in 1996 and 2009.

Horschel hit all 18 greens in regulation, a stellar achievement at a regular tour event, let alone the U.S. Open. It sent USGA officials searching for hours to find the last time anyone failed to miss a green in the toughest test in golf. Records of that detail only go back as far as 1989. That last documentation of someone doing that was Johnny Miller when he closed with a 63 at Oakmont to win in 1973.

Louisville is trying to finish what has been a spectacular run for the university. The Cardinals beat Florida in the Sugar Bowl, won the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national championship in basketball and were national runners-up in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want to get on the train of success, as we like to call it,â&#x20AC;? Louisville coach Dan McDonnell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point in the year, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re glad weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to do our part and hopefully cap off really a magical year in college athletics.â&#x20AC;?

Indiana won two of three regular-season games against Louisville and will start left-hander Joey DeNato (9-2) against Chad Green (10-3).

Mississippi State features All-America right fielder Hunter Renfroe, the No. 13 overall draft pick of the San Diego Padres who is batting .360 with 15 home runs. The only higher draft choice in the CWS is North Carolina third baseman Colin Moran, taken sixth by the Miami Marlins.

Kendall Graveman (7-5) will start for MSU against either Beavers lefty Matt Boyd (10-3) or freshman Andrew Moore (14-1).

Oregon State bounced back from a loss to Kansas State in Game 1 of super regionals to return to the CWS for the fourth time since 2005. The Beavers have tied a school record for most wins with solid offense and strong pitching.

Edwards tops qualifying for Quicken Loans 400

BY NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press BROOKLYN, Mich. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brad Keselowski was asked to pick one word to describe a lap at Michigan International Speedway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fast,â&#x20AC;? the defending Sprint Cup champion said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is, to me, the fastest track we have â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and it might be in speed, but it definitely is in feel.â&#x20AC;?

MIS is in its second year with a newly paved surface, and drivers are again making 200 mph laps look almost routine.

Carl Edwards topped Sprint Cup qualifying Friday with a lap of 202.452 mph.

That run came a year after Marcos Ambrose won the pole at MIS at 203.241 mph â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first time since 1987 the 200 mph mark was broken during qualifying for NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new track is super fun to race on,â&#x20AC;?

Edwards said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pavement seems like it has aged more in a year than a lot of new track surfaces have, and hopefully we can keep developing a Goodyear tire and keep making it softer and softer to where it becomes the old Michigan here in a year or two. I think that is going to be awesome.â&#x20AC;?

Edwards topped qualifying for the first time this season. He had the pole in May at Talladega as well, but that was because qualifying

Clemson, USC each miss out on recruits T

HEAT from Page B1 delivered a classic since.

The Heat won by 19, lost by 36 and cruised by 16.

The last few minutes of each have looked more like an October exhibition than a mid-June championship clash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You lose a game like we did in Game 2 and we come back and beat them in Game 3 and look like they looked last night, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what drives me crazy, because as coaches you try to prevent that,â&#x20AC;?

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said Friday during a conference call. Neither team practiced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You like to be on a little bit more of an even keel and perform the same way each night, and the only thing I can tell myself after all these years is, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with people, with emotions and not robots,â&#x20AC;? Popovich

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They come out and they all play hard, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that little intangible, that little spark of intensity or back against the wall, or a little bit of fear that just seems to kick in when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost the previous game. And when you find teams that can get over that, those are the championship teams.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most uneven stretch of the NBA Finals since 2005, according to STATS, when San Antonio and the Detroit Pistons swapped four straight games decided by 15 or more points to open the series.

Back then, the Spurs could depend on Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili to get them righted. But now Parker has a shaky hamstring, Ginobiliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot and confidence are even

bine in Chicago and Clemson is in the group.

McMillan also named Ohio State, Florida, UGA and Alabama in his top five. McMillan said he has the closest relationships right now with the Clemson and Ohio State staffs.

McMillan doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to name his school until the Under Armour Game following this season.

Defensive lineman Peyton Newell of Hawatha, Kan., has six finalists, but will visit only two of them this summer before making his decision on Aug. 30. Newell is down to USC, UGA, Nebraska, Kansas, Kansas State and Southern California. He is going to the Big Red Weekend at Nebraska today and the USC Showcase Camp in late July.

The Gamecocks, Cornhuskers and UGA are particularly strong with him, though Newell is not ready to call them his top three.

USC recruiter GA Mangus visited Newell twice in the final weeks of Phil May and KORNBLUT those visits helped the Gamecocks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had quite a bit of contact with him the last few weeks,â&#x20AC;? Newell said of Mangus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m building a good relationship with him and getting more comfortable. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going well right now.â&#x20AC;?

Newell plans to release a top three about two weeks before he announces. There is no leader right now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly it goes back and forth every week,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Defesnive back DJ Smith of Marietta, Ga., visited USC last weekend along with his father and a friend. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second straight summer Smith has made a trip to Columbia to check out the Gamecocks.

Smith also met with USC head coach Steve Spurrier, but spent most of his time with secondary coach Grady Brown.

Smith said he does not have favorites right now and has not trimmed his list. Clemson also has offered Smith and he plans to visit there this summer as well. Some of his other offers include Nebraska,

Vanderbilt, Florida, UGA, Kentucky, Michigan State, Alabama, Tennessee, Ohio State, Michigan, UNC, Arkansas and Ole Miss. Smith said he will take his recruiting all the way to National Signing Day. DL Thomas Holley of Brooklyn, N.Y., took a trip to the state of Florida this week to visit the big three, Miami, Florida and FSU, and he wants to visit Clemson this summer.

Holley remains in contact with the Tigers coaching staff.

NCSU is the latest to offer. Holley wants to take several visits before he begins to narrow his list, and said he does not any favorites. He also has offers from Alabama, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Boston College, Tennessee, Penn State, Ohio State, Ole Miss, UK and Nebraska.

Defensive end Harold Landry of Fayetteville, N.C., landed offers last week from UNC and Indiana. He has been committed to BC, but continues to look at USC and Clemson among others.

He visited both before his commitment in early April.

Clemson offered junior QB Tyler Queen of Kennesaw, Ga., while he was at camp last week. Queen also holds offers from Alabama, NCSU, UNC, Louisville and others. Last season, Queen passed for 2,607 yards and 23 TDs and rushed for 942 yards and 20 TDs. LB Dillon Bates of Ponte Vedra, Fla., has narrowed his list to Tennessee, Florida and Alabama, eliminating USC and Texas. He plans to announce next month at The Opening.

QB Jacob Park of Stratford High in Goose Creek is hitting the road this summer to check out the schools on his list he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a chance to see. Last week he was at Alabama and Mississippi State. He will also get to FSU, UGA, NCSU, VT and Notre Dame. The visit with ND will take place on Thursday and will be his final visit before he makes his decision. Park also has Louisville, West Virginia and Oklahoma State on his list.

RB Derrell Scott of Havelock, N.C., remains open about his decision and will visit Ohio State and FSU this summer, ac-

Duncan knows that what the Spurs really need is to take better care of the basketball.

Florida, Miami, Arkansas, WV, LSU, Ohio State, Alabama, FSU, Central Florida, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Indiana and UK. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to announce until Signing Day. Last season, Lammons played QB and had over 1,500 total yards and scored 34 TDs. He will play more CB this season.

DL Chris Williams of Tyrone, Ga., has a top five of Ole Miss, Tennessee, USC, Texas A&M and Ohio State in that order.

Ole Miss is the team to beat after Williams visited there this week. He does want to visit each of his top five before committing and plans to commit prior to the season.

Clemson is in regular touch with wide receiver Corey Holmes of Fort Lauderdale and he plans to visit there this summer.

He is going to ND on Thursday and UCLA on July 8. Holmes also plans to visit Oklahoma, Florida, Vandy and Tennessee.

Holmes visited Notre Dame and Oklahoma in the spring. He wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make his decision until after taking his official visits this fall. Some of his other offers are USC, WV, Arkansas, Florida, FSU, Miami, Michigan, Tennessee, UNC and NCSU. Last season, Holmes had 28 catches for 511 yards and five TDs. DB Denzel Franklin of Atlanta plans to visit USC this summer and has the Gamecocks high on his list. He will narrow his list down to three or four before the season and said that USC is very much in the mix. He will visit Tennessee, BC and Virginia as well. He recently visited Duke. His other offers include Michigan State, UCLA, and Florida.

Franklin does not have a favorite.

DL Kwamelle Barnes of Saluda High was offered last month by South Carolina State. NCSU and UNC among others are showing interest in Barnes. He plans to attend camps at Florida, LSU, NCSU and UNC. He is not hearing from Clemson or USC. Junior LB Sherrod Pittman of Jacksonville, Fla., put out a top 11 of USC, Clemson, Auburn, LSU, Florida, Miami, GT, UCF, Louisville, UGA and FSU. Pittman added that USC, Florida and Louisville will be in his top five.

cording to his head coach, Jim Bob Bryant.

Those visits will take place in the next couple of weeks. USC, Clemson and Oregon round out Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top five. Bryant said Scott wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t visit USC this summer since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been there multiple times, but he may make it to Clemson. The coach does not sense a favorite for his star back at this point.

USC is also a factor with Bryantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior receiver Michael Bowman.

The Gamecocks have offered along with UNC, NCSU and East Carolina.

Bowman will also go to Ohio State when Scott visits there.

DL Abu Lamin of Fort Scott Junior College in Kansas is going to take his official visits this summer and will make his decision later this summer instead of waiting until the midway point of his season. Lamin visited Arkansas unofficially last week.

He set an official visit to Florida this weekend and one to USC on June 21.

Lamin talked with Gamecock recruiter Deke Adams last week to finalize plans for his visit, which will include his mother and brother, who will drive down from Fayetteville, N.C. Lamin said at this point USC, Arkansas, Tennessee, UGA, Arizona State, Florida, Nebraska and LSU are the schools heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most interested in. He did not name a favorite.

DB Darin Smalls of Summerville High would like to commit prior to his senior season, but has not set a date for a decision.

He does plan to visit several schools this summer.

After recently adding UK to his offer sheet, the Wildcats will receive one of those visits.

Smalls has publicly favored the Gamecocks, but now says he does not have a leader. His offers include USC, Clemson, UK, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Louisville, VT and Georgia Tech.

DB Chris Lammons of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is looking hard at USC and has the Gamecocks in his final 15. He plans to visit this summer. Lammons has never been to USC, but know enough about the Gamecocks to like them.

The others on his reduced list are Oregon,

starting quarterback and who is committed to Old Dominion. Jake Bentley camped at Clemson last week and is getting interest from the Tigers.

Offensive lineman Donnell Stanley of Latta High was at Clemson for three days last week.

Stanley went to observe the camp of Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and check out the campus. Stanley did not work out at the camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He toured the campus and went to the Ag(riculture) Department,â&#x20AC;? said Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncle, Chris German, who was not on the visit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He really enjoyed it. He met with Coach Swinney in his office, and said he was impressed with that.

He also met with (OL) Coach (Robbie) Caldwell.â&#x20AC;?

Stanley was to visit UNC on Friday, and he might attend a USC camp as well. He is going to Alabama for a camp on July 14, then he will visit Ole Miss on July 15 and LSU a couple of days later. The week after that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to Florida and Florida State, and the following week he will visit Ohio State.

German said Stanley will shorten his list after his visits. Stanley does not have a leader at this point, and German said he will announce during the season or right after. He does not expect him to wait until National Signing Day in February of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;14.

LB Kendall Joseph of Belton-Honea Path High made his final visit to Clemson last week. His parents and brother joined him. Joseph is down to Clemson, Duke and Louisville. He was to visit Duke on Friday. He wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make another trip to Louisville. At this point, all three are even, but one is outworking the other two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hearing from Duke a lot, about every day,â&#x20AC;? Joseph said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Louisville has made their pitch and talk to them about once a week. And I talk to Clemson about once a week. Duke clearly wants me a lot, but Clemson and Louisville have made it clear they want me too.â&#x20AC;?

Joseph plans to make his decision on Monday.

LB Raekwon McMillan of Hinesville, Ga., released his top five last week at the Rivals com-

recruiting corner

wo more college football recruits came off the board this week, with Clemson in the final three for one and South Carolina in the final three for the other.

Neither picked up a commitment, however.

Athlete Jefferie Gibson of Hope Mills, N.C., committed to North Carolina State over Clemson and North Carolina on Monday. He was at Clemson for a junior day earlier this year and hds been to Clemson several times.

He had also been to UNC and NCSU. Running back Nick Chubb of Cedartown, Ga., announced committed to Georgia on Tuesday, choosing the Bulldogs over USC and Auburn. He visited all three last month.

The twin sons of former Clemson star linebacker Jeff Davis, LB JD Davis and LB Judah Davis of Daniel High School in Central, committed to the Tigers last week at the conclusion of a Clemson football camp. It will be awhile, however, before the two are in a Tiger uniform.

Their plan is to graduate from Daniel in December and enroll at TriCounty Technical College in Pendleton in January of 2014. They will take classes in a bridge program at Tri-County which allows a student to get credits toward a Clemson degree as long as he meets the GPA requirement. The pair plans to enroll on scholarship at Clemson in January of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;15. The twins are 6-foot-2-inches and 215 pounds and are the first pledges for Clemsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;15 class.

Quarterback Mason Rudolph of Northwestern High in Rock Hill committed to Oklahoma State last week. Rudolph picked the Cowboys over Louisiana State and Virginia Tech. He also had offers from Louisville, Virginia and Mississippi. Last season, Rudolph passed for 3,990 yards and 41 touchdowns.

Auburn offered rising freshman QB Jake Bentley â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a member of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;17 class â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of Byrnes High in Duncan while he was at camp last week.

Female fear genre rules Saturday programming

BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Not even the arrival of Father’s Day on Sunday keeps Saturday programming from catering to women in fear, women scorned and women betrayed by other women.

The ID network specializes in such fare and offers up the new series “Poisoned Passions” (10 p.m. Saturday, TV-14).

“Passions” offers a refresher course on a memorable tabloid tale of the 1980s, a story of lust, money and proximity to power. Vicki Morgan, a beautiful longtime Los Angeles fixture, had settled down as the mistress of married financier Alfred Bloomingdale.

Upon receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis, Bloomingdale cut Morgan off from his largesse, sparking a palimony suit.

Details of their private affair and salacious stories of sadomasochism provided gossip columnists fodder for months, if not years. Bloomingdale and his wife’s social connections to President Ronald Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan added to a tabloid bonfire that reached conspiratorial conflagration when Morgan was found murdered in 1983.

Theories have abounded about Morgan’s demise. The story would inspire a number of books, including Dominick Dunne’s 1990 novel, “An Inconvenient Woman,” which inspired a 1991 ABC miniseries of the same name that starred Jason Robards and Rebecca De Mornay.

“Passions” is a good example of how cheaper video technology and “re-enactments” by largely unknown actors have replaced the glitzier guilty pleasures of the network miniseries.

Other Saturday night entries in the female fear genre include a repeat “48 Hours” (10 p.m., CBS) about a single highway that has witnessed the murder of 20 women.

For those who prefer their paranoia in scripted form, there are television movies galore, including “Gone Missing” (8 p.m., Lifetime, TV-PG) and “A Mother’s Nightmare” (10 p.m., Lifetime, TV14). There are also “A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story” (8 p.m., Lifetime Movie Network, TV-PG) and “Her Final Fury: Betty Broderick, the Last Chapter” (10 p.m., Lifetime Movie Network, TVPG).

• “True Blood” (9 p.m. Sunday, HBO, TVMA) enters its sixth season. Like “Game of Thrones,” “Blood” is based on a series of popular books of genre fiction. But there the similarity ends. “Thrones” is frequently baffling to those who have not read the novels, or to those who don’t follow the overlapping plot lines with a spreadsheet or flowchart. But for all its complications, “Thrones” is epic; most scenes unfold with a grandeur rarely found on television or on the big screen.

For its part, “Blood” seems to have climbed out onto ever-more arcane branches of makebelieve hierarchies, and straddles that fine line between merely confusing and entirely pointless.

• Fantasy appears to have trumped fact. At a time when viewers will flock to the latest screen incarnation of “Superman,” all but inhabit the fictional kingdoms of “Game of Thrones” and can’t get enough of the bloody paranoia of “The Walking Dead,” interest

in real events (news) and past events (history) appears to have declined.

So it’s little surprise that those series flourish while “The Borgias” (10 p.m. Sunday, Showtime, TV-MA), a gorgeously produced, well-acted melodrama based on actual people and events, has been canceled. On tonight’s finale, Pope Alexander (Jeremy Irons) encourages his son, Cesare (Francois Arnaud), to succeed him and turn the papacy into a dynasty. TV viewers may never see how that plan turns out, but there are plenty of other ways (caution: some require reading) to follow the story.

• Steve Harvey, Bethenny Frankel, Betty White, Wayne Brady, Alex Trebek, Kris Jenner and Todd Newton are among the presenters at The 40th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards (8 p.m., HLN), live from Beverly Hills, Calif.

Saturday’s Highlights • On two unaired helpings of “Zero Hour” (ABC, TV-PG): Laila schemes her escape (8 p.m.); Hank has doubts (9 p.m.). For those who don’t recall, “ER” star Anthony Edwards appeared in this short-lived series as a professional skeptic ensnared in a mystical conspiracy after the disappearance of his wife.

• Actor Michael Rapaport recalls his Brooklyn high school, where tales abounded that deceased students stalked the corridors on “The Haunting Of *” (10 p.m., BIO, TV-PG).

cartel; Italy’s eyewear giant and Barcelona’s soccer dynasty.

• The Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs meet in Game 5 of the NBA Finals (8 p.m., ABC).

• Tensions mount before a mock trial on “The Good Wife” (9 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14).

• Giuliana Rancic and Nick Jonas host the 2013 Miss USA Competition (9 p.m., NBC, TV-PG).

• “Inspector Lewis” returns for a sixth season on “Masterpiece Mystery!” (9 p.m., PBS, TVPG, check local listings).

• Sarah and Holder focus on “the voice” on “The Killing” (9 p.m., AMC, TV-14).

• Dan hopes to work both sides of Selena’s feud with Danny Chung on “Veep” (10 p.m., HBO, TV-MA).

• Consensus proves elusive on “Mad Men” (10 p.m., AMC, TV-14).

• Tom arrives in Los Angeles on “Family Tree” (10:30 p.m., HBO, TV-MA).

Cult Choice How often is the filming of a combat movie interrupted by a genuine war? The 1969 World War II saga “The Bridge at Remagen” (8 p.m. Saturday, Military Channel) was in production in Czechoslovakia when Soviet troops invaded that country in August 1968.
