Politicians react to election law reform Gov. Haley signs bill to prevent repeat of 2012 election troubles

BY BRADEN BUNCH bbunch@theitem.com With the recent signature of Gov. Nikki Haley, South Carolina has reformed its election laws in a way that many local political figures think will prevent embarrassing issues such as the state experienced last year, when hundreds of candidates were

thrown off the ballot.

During the 2012 primary election season, nearly 250 candidates statewide were removed from partisan ballots after the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled competing state election laws had ultimately been misinterpreted by both the South Carolina Republican Party and the South Carolina Democratic

Party and these office seekers who, in turn, filed their candidacy incorrectly. This included 11 potential candidates in the local tri-county area, forcing them to either seek a petition candidacy or remain off the ballot entirely.

With the new law, approved overwhelmingly by both the state Senate and House of Representatives,

Sexual Trauma Service of the Midlands recently opened a new office in Sumter.

This is the first office the organization that assists survivors of sexual violence has opened outside of Columbia, according to a June 14 news release.

“The numbers justified it,” said Ginny Waller, executive director.

This year alone, STSM WALLER has provided 490 services to 42 victims of sexual assault and abuse in Sumter County, the release COLLINS states. They also had two hospital calls last week, Waller said.

The private, nonprofit agency is committed to providing free, direct services to survivors of sexual assault and abuse, including a 24-hour crisis hotline, hospital accompaniment, court accompaniment, personal advocacy, individual and group counseling and education about sexual trauma issues.

“We’re going to be there for the survivors from the time they are immediately impacted all the way to 30, 40 or 50 years later when they may be interested in assistance or counseling,” Waller said.

The United Way member agency started serving the area in March 2011. In August 2012 the STSM

“Since we arrived here a few weeks ago, we’ve seen an increase in requests for legal advocacy and more referrals for counseling from Shaw Air Force Base,” said Melanie Griffin Snipes, STSM director of crisis services, in the release. She will be based in the new office at least two days each month to provide individual counseling.

The woman leading the office is a Sumter native.

“I am excited to provide these free and confidential services to all survivors in my home community,” said Sarah Collins, community advocate and prevention specialist.

STATE BRIEFS | From staff reports

Chesterfield employees charged in inmate case COLUMBIA — Two more Chesterfield County employees who worked under indicted Sheriff Sam Parker have been charged with misconduct in office after prosecutors said they used state inmates on loan to the county to do work on their personal property.

Indictments were released Thursday against jail director Ritchie Rollings and Harold Hainey, who was a captain in the sheriff’s office before taking over the county’s Emergency Management department.

Both men face one misdemeanor count of misconduct in office, which carries up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

The indictments against the men don’t go into detail. Rollings is accused of using an unnamed inmate for personal gain and not supervising the prisoner properly, while Hainey is accused of also taking money from an inmate for favors and helping the prisoner profit from business dealings.

3 graduate with perfect attendance FROM STAFF REPORTS Three Sumter High School graduates had perfect attendance during their entire 12 years of school, according to a news release from the South Carolina Department of Education.

Students are allowed by state law to miss up to 10 days of school per year, but Darnisha Boone, Molly Duggan and Friendly Gadson are three of only 72 South Carolina seniors in the graduating class of 2013 to never miss a single day.

The trio of Sumter High graduates allowed the local school to tie for the third-largest group in the state from a single school to finish their 12 years of public school education with perfect attendance. Easley High School in Pickens County and North Augusta High School in Aiken County had the most students of any single school with four students each.

In total, 29 districts and the Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities had seniors who had gone to

school through their entire academic careers without being absent. Greenville County led the state with nine graduates with perfect attendance, followed by Pickens County and Horry County, with six each.

Since 1979, seniors graduating with perfect school attendance have been recognized by the South Carolina Department of Education. They receive certificates and congratulatory letters from State Superintendent of Education Mick Zais.

Panel sets salaries for agency heads COLUMBIA — A legislative panel has set salaries for the new directors of South Carolina’s unemployment and revenue agencies.

The Agency Head Salary Commission voted to give Bill Blume $156,000 as director of the state’s tax collection agency.

Cheryl Stanton will earn $145,000 to lead the Department of Employment and Workforce.

Both replaced directors who resigned amid criticism from legislators.

Blume took over revenue in January. He replaced Jim Etter, whose resignation coincided with Gov. Nikki Haley acknowledging the state did not do enough to prevent the cyber-theft of residents’ personal data from their tax returns.

Fuel conversion plant plans 300 jobs COLUMBIA — A company called EcoDual Inc. plans to invest $13 million in a Beaufort County plant and create more than 300 jobs during five years.

The manufacturer of dual-fuel conversion systems announced its plans Thursday. The company is at a temporary facility in Beaufort but plans to build a permanent one within 18 months.

EcoDual’s conversion systems allow heavy-duty diesel trucks to operate on up to 60 percent natural gas. The company said its systems enable truck fleet owners to reduce operating costs by using cleaner, U.S.-produced natural gas for fuel.

The theme of Saturday’s International Plastic Modelers’ Society Regional is “The Atomic Age.” Organizer Tim Darrah said to expect to see models of the B-29 Superfortress, the Enola Gay, like the one above, among the hundreds of models on display.

‘Atomic Age’ coming to civic center Saturday

BY IVY MOORE ivym@theitem.com Visitors to Saturday’s International Plastic Modelers’ Society Regional will see a wide range of models, all with one thing in common — they must adhere to this year’s theme, “The Atomic Age.” That means modelers can bring their work depicting “anything that is powered by or delivers anything nuclear,” according to Tim Darrah, a member of IPMS Sumter/ Shaw AFB Gamecocks Chapter. He is also the raffle and vendor chairman.

Among the models expected to be in the show and competition is the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress that carried the atomic bomb to Japan during World War II, as well as “B-52s, nuclear sub-

marines, missiles, cannons, ships and more,” Darrah said.

“We decided to go with a different theme this year,” he explained, “something completely different, out of the normal.”

Also participating in Saturday’s show is a group called AMPS — Armored Military Vehicle Preservation Society — which Darrah said “will be handling all military vehicles, figures, aircraft, juniors, cars, ships and sci-fi. You’ll see some figures from ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Star Trek.’”

Already, more than 70 vendors have signed up to show and sell “built and unbuilt models, tools, reference materials and accessories,” he said.

More than 350 items related to modeling will be included in the raffle. Among them are kits, accessories,

decals, two air brushes and an air brush compressor.

“We’ll have our ‘makeand-take’ table for kids,” Darrah said. “It’s free. All they have to do is walk up to the table and say ‘I’d like to build a model,’ and we’ll have kits and people there to assist them. They can build a nice model to take home.”

Various prizes will be awarded to registered modelers — sign up between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday — in categories that include, but are not limited to, best aircraft, cars, ships and scifi. There will be a special category for Best ’60s Muscle Car. Best Aggressor and Adversary awards — think “Top Gun” — will also receive awards.

Best Naked Model will be awarded for an unpainted model, and Best of Show will

be awarded by both the IPMS and the AMPS groups.

“This is going to be the largest plastic model contest in the Southeast this year,” Darrah said.

General admission to the 2013 IPMS R12 Regional from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, which includes North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and the Florida panhandle, is $5 for adults 18 and up and $3 for those 17 and younger. Refreshments will be available for purchase.

Doors open at 8 a.m. at the Sumter County Civic Center, 700 W. Liberty St. For more information, about IPMS, call Tony Abbott at (803) 481-5736 or Tim Darrah at (803) 481-7201.

Domestic violence affects a third of women, WHO says THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

About a third of women worldwide have been physically or sexually assaulted by a former or current partner, according to the first major review of violence against women.

In a series of papers released on Thursday by the World Health Organization and others, experts estimated nearly 40 percent of women killed worldwide were slain by an intimate partner and that being assaulted by a partner was the most common kind of violence experienced by women. “Violence against women is a global health problem of epidemic proportions,�

WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan said in a statement.

WHO defined physical violence as being slapped, pushed, punched, choked or being attacked with a weapon. Sexual violence was defined as being physically forced to have sex, having sex because you were afraid of what your partner might do and being compelled to do something sexual that was humiliating or degrading.

The report also examined rates of sexual violence against women by someone other than a partner and found about 7 percent of women worldwide had previously been a victim.

America sidelined, barely relevant

W

ASHINGTON — The war in Syria, started by locals, is now a regional conflict, the meeting ground of two warring blocs. On one side, the radical Shiite bloc led by Iran, which overflies Iraq to supply Bashar al-Assad and sends Hezbollah to fight for him. Behind them lies Russia, which has stationed ships offshore, provided the regime with tons of weaponry and essentially claimed Syria as a Russian protectorate.

And on the other side are the Sunni Gulf states terrified of Iranian hegemony (territorial and soon nuclear); non-Arab Turkey, Charles now conKRAUTHAMMER vulsed by an internal uprising; and fragile Jordan, dragged in by geography.

And behind them? No one. It’s the Spanish Civil War except that only one side — the fascists — showed up. The natural ally of what began as a spontaneous, secular, liberationist uprising in Syria was the United States. For two years, it did nothing.

President Obama’s dodge was his chemicalweapons red line. In a conflict requiring serious statecraft, Obama chose to practice forensics instead, earnestly agonizing over whether reported poison gas attacks reached the evidentiary standards of “CSI: Miami.”

Obama talked “chain of custody,” while Iran and Russia, hardly believing their luck, reached for regional hegemony — the ayatollahs solidifying their “Shiite crescent,” Vladimir Putin seizing the opportunity to dislodge America as regional hegemon, a position the U.S. achieved four decades ago under Henry Kissinger.

And when finally forced to admit that his red line had been crossed — a “game changer,” Obama had gravely warned — what did he do? Promise the rebels small arms and ammunition. That’s it? It’s meaningless: The rebels are already receiving small arms from the Gulf states.

Compounding the halfheartedness, Obama transmitted his new “calculus” through his deputy national security adviser.

Deputy, mind you. Obama gave 39 (or was it 42?) speeches on health care reform. How many on the regional war in Syria, in which he has now involved the United States, however uselessly? Zero.

Serious policymaking would dictate that we either do something that will alter the course of the war, or do nothing. Instead, Obama has chosen to do just enough to give the appearance of having done something.

But it gets worse. De-

spite his commitment to steadfast inaction, Obama has been forced by events to send F-16s, Patriot missiles and a headquarters unit of the 1st Armored Division (indicating preparation for a possible “larger force,” explains The Washington Post) — to Jordan. America’s most reliable Arab ally needs protection. It is threatened not just by a flood of refugees but by the rise of Iran’s radical Shiite bloc with ambitions far beyond Syria, beyond even Jordan and Lebanon to Yemen, where, it was reported just Wednesday, Iran is arming and training separatists.

Obama has thus been forced back into the very vacuum he created — but at a distinct disadvantage.

We are now scrambling to put together some kind of presence in Jordan as a defensive counterweight to the Iran-HezbollahRussia bloc.

The tragedy is that we once had a counterweight and Obama threw it away.

Obama still thinks the total evacuation of Iraq is a foreign policy triumph.

In fact, his inability — unwillingness? — to negotiate a Status of Forces Agreement that would have left behind a small but powerful residual force in Iraq is precisely what compels him today to re-create in Jordan a pale facsimile of that regional presence.

Whatever the wisdom of the Iraq War in the first place, when Obama came to office in January 2009 the war was won. Al-Qaeda in Iraq had been routed. Nouri al-Maliki’s Shiite government had taken down the Sadr Shiite extremists from Basra all the way north to Baghdad.

Casualties were at a wartime low, the civil war essentially over.

We had a golden opportunity to reap the rewards of this too-bloody war by establishing a strategic relationship with an Iraq that was still under American sway. Iraqi airspace, for example, was under U.S. control as we prepared to advise and rebuild Iraq’s nonexistent air force.

With our evacuation, however, Iraqi airspace today effectively belongs to Iran — over which it is flying weapons, troops and advisers to turn the tide in Syria. The U.S. air bases, the vast military equipment, the intelligence sources available in Iraq were all abandoned.

Gratis. Now we’re trying to hold the line in Jordan.

Obama is learning very late that, for a superpower, inaction is a form of action. You can abdicate, but you really can’t hide.

History will find you. It has now found Obama.

Does health insurance improve health?

D

oes having health insurance make people healthier? It’s widely assumed that it does.

Obamacare advocates repeatedly said that its expansion of Medicaid would save thousands of lives a year.

Obamacare critics seldom challenged the idea that increased insurance coverage would improve at least some people’s health.

Now, out of Oregon, comes a study that casts doubt on the premise that insurance improves health.

In 2008, Oregon state government had enough Medicaid money to extend the program to 10,000 people but many more were eligible. So the state set up a lottery to determine who would get coverage.

That created a randomized control trial (RCT), to compare the health outcomes of about 6,000 people who won the lottery with a similar number who lost.

RCTs are the best way to test the effects of public policies, as Jim Manzi argues in his recent book “Uncontrolled: The Surprising Payoff of Trial-and-Error for Business, Politics and Society.”

Other studies compare the effect of policies on populations that may differ in significant ways — apples and oranges. RCTs compare apples and apples.

The only previous RCT on health care policies was conducted by the RAND Corporation between 1971 and 1982. It found no statistically significant difference in health outcomes from having more insurance. But health care has changed a lot since then.

The Oregon Health Study, published last month in the New England Journal of Medicine, found much the same thing. Comparing three important measures — blood sugar levels, blood pressure and cholesterol levels — It found no significant differ-

ence after two years between those on Medicaid and those who were uninsured.

It did find lower levels of reported depression among the group on Medicaid. And it found, unsurprisingly, that they did save significant money. Those findings may not be unrelated.

The findings have serious implications for Obamacare.

Half of its predicted increase in insurance coverage comes Michael from expansion BARONE of Medicaid.

Obamacare supporters have assumed that those eligible for Medicaid — poorer, sicker and less steadier in habits than the general population — would have great difficulty getting health care without insurance.

The Oregon Health Study is evidence that at least in that state Medicaid-eligible people without insurance — a “pretty sick” population, one state official said — nevertheless managed somehow to get care that produced results about as good as those who won the lottery.

It may just be that ordinary people, even those with significant problems, are more capable of navigating the seas of American life than elites, either liberal or conservative, tend to assume.

These results run contrary to the predictions of many Obamacare fans, who expected to see more positive effects from Medicaid coverage. It undermines at least a little the case for Obamacare’s vast expansion of Medicaid.

Some Obamacare backers, and others as well, point out that the study did not measure all possible health care outcomes. It couldn’t because it covered only two years; and Oregon, with more Medicaid money, ended the lottery experiment, so there won’t be any more RCT results.

In particular, in a two-year period you aren’t going to have too many cases of catastrophic illness among a population of 12,000. There’s no way you can measure outcomes in those with long-running ailments like cancer, Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s.

Blood sugar levels, blood pressure and cholesterol levels can be treated with relatively inexpensive generic drugs. Medicaid coverage may result in more people getting heart bypass surgery and needing expensive drugs for rare ailments.

But that is another way of saying that health insurance as we know it may not do much to improve the treatment of common health problems.

Most U.S. health insurance today, thanks to the tax preference for employer-provided insurance, is not real insurance at all.

Real insurance pays for rare, expensive and unwelcome events, like your house burning down. It doesn’t make sense to insure for routine expenses, like repainting your living room.

The Oregon Health Study suggests that insurance isn’t necessary for people to get what are now, for people of a certain age, routine measures like blood pressure medicine.

Maybe government should help poor people pay for them, but they manage to get them nevertheless.

Americans have come to expect health insurance to pay for routine treatments. Obamacare reinforces that in its requirements for coverage and makes it more difficult for many to insure against catastrophic health care expenses.

That’s not likely to make people healthier.

Stocks extend slide NEW YORK (AP) — There was no let-up in the flight from stocks and bonds Thursday as the Dow Jones industrial average plunged 353 points and wiped out almost two months of gains.

A day after the Federal Reserve roiled U.S. financial markets when it said it could step back from its aggressive economic stimulus program later this year, financial markets continued to slide. A slowdown in Chinese manufacturing added to Wall Street’s worries.

The breadth of the sell-off was seen across global financial markets, from sharply lower stock markets in Asia to falling government bond prices in Europe, and the U.S. Gold also plunged.

The Dow’s drop — which knocked the average down 2.3 percent to 14,758.32 — was its biggest since November 2011. It comes just three weeks after the bluechip index reached an all-time high of 15,409.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 lost 40.74 points, or 2.5 percent, to 1,588.19. It also reached a record high last month, peaking at 1,669.

Small-company stocks fell more than the rest of the market, a sign that investors are aggressively reducing risk.

In U.S. government debt, the yield on the

benchmark 10-year note rose to its highest level since August 2011.

A Fed policy statement and comments from Chairman Ben Bernanke started the selling in stocks and bonds Wednesday. Bernanke said the Fed expects to scale back its massive bond-buying program later this year and end it entirely by mid-2014 if the economy continues to improve.

The bank has been buying $85 billion a month in Treasury and mortgage bonds, a program that has kept bor-

rowing costs near historic lows for consumers and business. It has also helped boost the stock market.

Alec Young, a global equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, said investors weren’t expecting Bernanke to say the program could end so quickly and are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of higher U.S. interest rates. “What we’re seeing is a pretty significant seachange in investor strategy,� Young said.

As financial markets dropped, investors likely put the proceeds of their sales in cash as they waited for the dust to settle, said Quincy Krosby, a market strategist at Prudential Financial.

Investors “are raising cash right now, for fear the deterioration will continue,� said Krosby.

The yield on the 10year Treasury note rose to 2.41 percent, from 2.35 percent Wednesday. It’s up sharply since May 3, when it hit a year low of 1.63 percent.

Some are specific to education, while others had educational applications such as OSNAP!, an app used to film stop animation. On Thursday morning, the group was using OSNAP! along with a simple math formula to make a mathematically correct film in which a car plummets off a cliff. After fashioning a car out of clay, the teachers were tasked with calculating the distance in which the car would fall off the table. The teachers snapped a picture after the car moved each time. The app then played the individual pictures like a short film. “The idea behind it is that if we can improve teacher content knowledge, they can better teach their students,� Bradley said. “Then it’s about applying what we learned.�

The strength of the program, said Tim Teitloff, a math professor at Clemson University, was the idea of interweaving the technology with the math content. “At the same time we are trying to expand their understanding of mathematical content,� he said. “You still have to have that structural knowledge before you use the technology.�

Bradley, whose research is based in the use of apps in educational environments, said he will hold a mid-year follow-up session during the upcoming school year.

Izzard said she hopes the teachers will use the knowledge to help their students understand the subject better. “These teachers have been very positive about it,� she said.

Analysis: Obama prods, gets share of the pushback

President Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping, left, walk at the Annenberg Retreat of the Sunnylands estate in Rancho Mirage, Calif., on June 8. During the past two weeks, Obama has argued with Xi over cybersecurity, huddled with world leaders over Syria and trade, declared his desire to reduce U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons and embraced the uncertain steps toward reconciliation in Afghanistan.

cal problems, insisted her government was committed to helping its European partners in the crisis-hit nations. “If we were conducting policies that would harm other countries,� she argued, “we would harm ourselves.�

She countered with her own words of caution about the Obama administration’s secret collection of phone records and surveillance of foreign Internet traffic. “People have concerns, precisely concerns that there may be some kind of blanket, across-the-board gathering of information,� she said. “There needs to be proportionality� between security and freedom, she added, and made clear that her private talks about it with Obama were not the end of the subject.

It was a polite punchcounterpunch between vital allies — an exchange that won’t damage a strong relationship. But it illustrated how in a 21st century world order, Western powers are not beholden to the United States as they once were and

BY JIM KUHNHENN The Associated Press WASHINGTON — During the past two weeks, President Obama has argued with Chinese President Xi Jinping over cybersecurity, consulted with world leaders about Syria and trade, declared his desire to reduce U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons and embraced the uncertain steps toward reconciliation in Afghanistan.

In each case, the president is aligning himself with a process that has a distant goal and is fraught with possible failure.

And as he prodded foreign allies and U.S. competitors, he’s gotten a good dose of pushback for his troubles.

In Berlin on Wednesday, Obama warned that the European Union could “lose a generation� if it doesn’t adjust its economic policies to tackle high youth unemployment.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has argued for debt-ridden eurozone countries to first deal with their fis-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Obama’s ability to find agreement or build consensus is often limited and regularly tested.

The centerpiece of Obama’s visit to Berlin was a speech at the historic Brandenburg Gate, once a symbol of the Cold War, where he called for negotiations with the Russians to reduce U.S. nuclear weapons by one-third and called for cutting the number of tactical warheads in Europe. “Peace with justice means pursuing the security of a world without nuclear weapons, no matter how distant that dream may be,� he said.

The words were barely out of his mouth when a Republican member of the House Armed Services Committee, Ohio Rep. Mi-

chael Turner, accused him of appeasement, and Russian officials were playing down Obama’s proposal. A foreign policy aide to President Vladimir Putin said any further arms reduction would have to involve countries other than just Russia and the United States. “The situation is now far from what it was in the ’60s and ’70s, when only the USA and the

Soviet Union discussed arms reduction,� the aide, Yuri Ushakov, said.

Just two days earlier, Obama and Putin had a stare-down over Syria.

Putin refused to back down from Russia’s support for the government of President Bashar Assad, forcing other leaders of the Group of Eight industrial economies meeting in Northern Ireland to call for a negotiated Syrian peace settlement while dis-

agreeing on whether that should require Assad to go.

With Obama now ready to supply arms to Syrian rebels, Putin concluded the G-8 summit by pointedly warning that the opposition forces include criminals whom he likened to the killers of an off-duty British soldier last month in London. “Do the Europeans want to provide such people with weapons?� he asked.

Faith leaders help members receive legal assistance TRAVIS LOLLER Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When Grace Liverman needed to write a will, the 66-year-old who suffers from lupus and other health problems didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where to turn. So she called her pastor at Hamilton United Methodist Church in Nashville.

Liverman didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it, but the church had recently begun participating in a pilot program that provides attorneys to needy members at no cost. Soon after that call, an attorney came to her home and helped her draft a will.

Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faithbased initiative is unusual compared to most

legal aid programs across the country because it recognizes that many people who could use an attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help would never go to a legal aid clinic even if it were held at their house of worship.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize their problem as a legal one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People show up every day at churches and synagogues and mosques, and they may not ask for legal help.

They may need food assistance. But often there is an underlying legal problem,â&#x20AC;? said Tennessee Supreme Court Justice Connie Clark, who helped the faith-based initiative get off the ground.

The Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services

estimates there are approximately 1 million low-income Tennesseans in need of civil legal help.

Although there are no good national numbers, the Legal Services Corp., which funds legal aid clinics around the country, estimates that fewer than one in five low-income people get the legal assistance they need.

In criminal cases, defendants are entitled to an attorney and the state appoints someone if they cannot afford it. But there is no such provision in civil cases. That means people in need of legal help to fight eviction, settle issues with creditors, file for divorce or even fight for custody of their children must pay for an

attorney on their own or make do without. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole system is built on the assumption that everybody has lawyers, and almost nobody does,â&#x20AC;? Richard Zorza said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But over the last 15 years or so, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an explosion of ideas for different ways to solve the problem.â&#x20AC;?

Zorza is an advocate for the Access to Justice movement that is generating those ideas. Access to Justice commissions exist in 27 states and are being considered in a half-dozen more, according to a report from the National Center for State Courts. Each state operates a bit differently.

In Tennessee, that has included changing the

rules to make it easier for retired attorneys to provide free services, developing a toll-free legal hotline and posting online videos about navigating the justice system.

REFORM from Page A1 unopposed. A lawsuit attempting to remove Johnson from the ballot as well ultimately failed.

“The very problem we had during the debacle was what they called ‘the death penalty,’ throwing people off the ballot, and this bill will make sure that doesn’t happen again,” Johnson said.

Now, while still facing a possible fine, candidates failing to file their paperwork properly will remain on the ballot, with the ability to correct the errors later. At the same time, if a candidate who does not file correctly wins an election, he or she must not only pay any possible fines, but also complete all the necessary paperwork before being allowed to take office.

The new bill also takes the registration of candidates out of the

hands of the local party officials and places it with the various county election commissions.

“The state election commission will make sure the local offices know what the do’s and don’ts are,” Johnson said. “I think that made a lot of improvement to the process.”

Sumter County Republican Party Chairwoman Shery Smith said she was also pleased with another part of the legislation that allows the political parties to appoint representatives to witness the registration at the local election commission offices.

“I think it’s great that the legislation keeps the voters from being disenfranchised, like they were last time,” Smith said. “It keeps the voters from paying the price.”

SUPPORT from Page A1 “Opening an office in Sumter is one more step towards achieving STSM’s vision to end sexual violence in our community.”

The recent Columbia International University graduate started volunteering with the organization in 2011.

“I have a passion for helping exploited peoples, particularly survivors of sex trafficking,” Collins said. “I was looking for ways to volunteer in a setting that utilized my passion. I heard about STSM from people who were volunteering and learned of the quality and victimcentered services that they provide. I was drawn to the opportunity to advocate for survivors at the hospital and be a helping presence in a time of crisis.”

Half of her time will be spent providing direct services and support, and during the other half, she will be working on prevention, Waller said.

“Our agency’s mission is twofold, (and) my job reflects our mission in that it is twofold as well,” Collins said.

“We seek to support survivors and help them heal from the trauma associated with their sexual assault and abuse. We also seek to identify and prevent future sexual violence in the community. I provide crisis intervention to survivors and their friends and family, as well as personal and legal advocacy to survivors.

“I also provide community education through a practicebased prevention curriculum aimed at middle- and high-school students and in-services and trainings on issues related to sexual assault or abuse for service providers, including law enforcement, medical personnel and advocates.”

She is making plans to offer the STSM-developed curriculum during some summer camps, and beginning in the 2013-14 academic year, she’ll work with local middle- and highschool students. The six-week program is age-appropriate and has six components — gender stereotypes, media influence, teen dating violence, sexual violence, healthy relationships and boundary setting — Waller said.

“It’s a huge gamut of curriculum,” she said.

“It’s proven over a three-year study to reduce the incidents of sexual violence.”

The new office is located on the fourth floor of the Health Department, 105 N. Magnolia St., Sumter, and it’s open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Friday.

Fire still burns for Dragons Bishopville High baseball coaches, players celebrate 1993 state title team

BY RANDY BURNS Special to The Item BISHOPVILLE — The thrill of winning a high school state championship never goes away.

Well, those feelings stay around for at least 20 years.

That was the message heard loud and clear on Saturday at the 20-year reunion of the 1993 Bishopville High 2A baseball state championship team.

Mark Davidson, the Dragons head coach, said the 1993 Dragon baseball team was a special squad.

“I’m not saying it was the most talented team I’ve been associated DAVIDSON with,” Davidson said. “Because it wasn’t.

But it was the best team. We had somebody new in the spotlight every week. Every-

body contributed. And we didn’t have a superstar, but we did have a dominant pitcher.”

Daniel Tiller won 16 games in 1993, and was the winning pitcher in the final game of the best-of-3 championship series against Furman High.

Tiller said he finds himself thinking about the championship season “almost every day.”

“It’s funny how some-

thing will happen to make you think of that baseball team,” Tiller said. “And now that I’m coaching my two kids. I think about it often.”

Tiller’s catcher, Stephen Watkins, who now lives in the Charlotte area, said being a member of the ‘93 team has always been a source of pride for him “It is hard telling people about it, because the school

Heat up 2 at halftime of Game 7

The final result was not available at press time. For a complete recap, visit our website at www.theitem.com.

Shane Battier scored nine points off the bench and James shrugged off a quiet start for the Heat in a ragged first half for both teams.

Tim Duncan had 13 points, five rebounds and four steals for the Spurs, who were trying to become the first road team to win a finals Game 7 on the road since Washington in 1978. Kawhi Leonard added five points and 10 rebounds.

Dalzell head coach Steve Campbell had originally agreed CAMPBELL to play the game this Thursday when contacted by the Northeast athletic director on Thursday morning.

However, League III director Clyde Blackburn told Campbell that a team can’t ask to reschedule a game on the day the game is to played. Therefore, Northeast had to forfeit the game.

Closer Bobby Parnell earned his 11th save in 14 chances by facing the minimum in the ninth.

Riding that momentum, the P-15s tacked on four more runs to put away the Braves 7-2.

“Taylor hit a freaking shot, that’s a mammoth home run with wood,” Sumter head coach Curtis Johnson said. “I thought that lifted us up.

“This is a big win, that is the best team in the Upper State we just beat.”

But Sumter starting pitcher Jacob Watcher settled in after that first inning, limiting Greenwood to two hits the rest of the game.

Watcher held the Braves hitless from the third inning into the eighth before Shannon Smith finally singled with two outs in the eighth.

“You have to give a lot of credit to their guy, he really settled down,” Post 20 head coach Mack Hite said. “We got a lead early, but he really settled in and shut us down. You have to tip your hat to him.”

Sumter tacked on insurance runs in the eighth and ninth innings to pull away from Post 20. Andrew Reardon ripped a 2-run double in the eighth, while McFaddin drove in a run in the ninth and another scored on a wild pitch to push the lead to 7-2.

And the Braves never threatened in the ninth, going down in order to end the game.

“We kind of had them on their heels a little bit early, we were battling with them, then that guy hits a big home run,” Hite said. “It took the wind out of our sails and gives them a lot of momentum.

After that, it was really tough for us to get it back going.”

The video shows the truck pull up to the fence outside the stadium near the rock about 11:20 p.m. June 2. Two men get out. A second video with a timestamp about 10 minutes later

shows two men walking and dancing around outside the pickup before driving off.

Police also released a still picture of the pickup.

The rock’s glass case was damaged and a chunk of it was broken off.

Pats’ TE shot man in face, suit says

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Carl Edwards (99) and Greg Biffle did not see eye to eye after Biffle’s win on Sunday at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich.

Biffle, Edwards not on same page

BY NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press BROOKLYN, Mich. — Greg Biffle was thrilled after his victory last weekend in Michigan.

Teammate Carl Edwards was a little bit miffed.

Biffle’s Sprint Cup victory gave Ford Motor Co. 1,000 wins across NASCAR’s three national series — Cup, Nationwide and Truck. It took place just down the road from company headquarters, but not every Ford driver raced as well as he’d hoped. Edwards, the pole winner, finished eighth and said there was a point in the race when he wished Biffle would have dropped back to help him clean off his grille. The two both drive for Roush Fenway Racing.

“It’s his job to help me,’’ Edwards said after the race. “We’ll take care of it.’’

Biffle defended his approach to

the race.

“These races are very, very hard to win,’’ he said. “I didn’t feel like I could take that risk at that particular time to back up, lose all that track position and _ it may have changed the outcome of the race.’’

Edwards later told ESPN.com he was referring to a moment relatively early in the race when he could have used help from Biffle, so their postrace comments may have been a misunderstanding. Still, despite the victory, it wasn’t a perfect week for Ford.

Brad Keselowski, who won the Cup last year for team owner Roger Penske, finished 12th in his No. 2 Ford.

He’s now ninth in the points standings with no wins, and although there’s plenty of time for him to solidify his spot in the Chase, lately he’s been making news for reasons other than his driving.

Keselowski was at Ford headquar-

ters in Dearborn last week when he accused Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing of luring away Penske employees in an effort to steal information. Penske said over the weekend he thought Keselowski had some “misinformation’’ — and team owners Rick Hendrick and Joe Gibbs blasted the defending champion for spreading false information.

For the most part, Sunday’s race was a welcome break from all that chatter. At one point, Biffle, Edwards, Keselowski and Joey Logano — all Ford drivers — were firmly in the top 10. Edwards led 16 laps. Logano led 21 before finishing ninth.

“I think seeing all those Fords up front was really a statement, that we are moving in the right direction.

There’s a lot of momentum,’’ said Edwards, who is second in the standings behind Chevrolet’s Jimmie Johnson.

“We need to get better and faster.’’

Oregon State knocks Indiana out of CWS

BY ERIC OLSON The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. — In the kind of pitchers’ duel the College World Series hadn’t seen in three decades, Matt Boyd was just a bit superior to Aaron Slegers.

Boyd threw a four-hitter and Oregon State ended the Hoosiers’ first appearance in Omaha with a 1-0 victory Wednesday night.

“Matt was just a couple of pitches better,’’ Beavers coach Pat Casey said. “Fortunately for us, Matt was as good as I think anybody we’ve seen throw here in the College World Series.’’

Boyd struck out 11, and the Beavers made a fourth-

needing to beat the Bulldogs twice to reach next week’s finals.

Slegers, the Big Ten pitcher of the year, al-

lowed seven hits in his first career complete game. But that wasn’t enough to extend the stay of an Indiana team making its first CWS appearance.

The Hoosiers (49-16) were shut out for the first time this season.

“Entertainment value, I think it was off the charts,’’ Indiana coach Tracy Smith said. “It’s just one of those where you had two guys who were on tonight. Unfortunately, we came out on the wrong end of that. As a coach you could be disappointed with the lack of effectiveness in the batter’s box, but I think a lot of that had to do with what their guy was doing.’’

DRAGONS from Page B1 doesn’t exist anymore,” Watkins said.

“But when people run their mouth, I am quick to tell them I was on a state championship team.”

Robbie Charles, who is a teacher in the Lee County schools, was an outfielder on the state championship team.

“It’s always fun to think about that season,” he said. “Students would see a picture of the team, and ask me about it. You know, it was a great time. But I don’t have one special memory. The season is kind of a blur.”

While Tiller was the Dragon ace on the mound, shortstop Brooks Gilbert might have pitched the best game of the year in a 1-0 playoff loss to Piedmont High.

“Brooks threw 47 pitches that night, and the game was played in about 52 minutes,” Davidson said. “It was an amazing game.”

Gilbert, Tiller, Watkins and Charles were senior leaders and key contributors at the plate. Two freshmen — second baseman Lance Felder and third baseman Cedric McDuffie — and junior first baseman Jeff Burns were among the team’s leading hitters. Rodney Hannah, Randy Hodge, exchange student Antoine Tomei, Rod Holloman and David Caughman had important roles on the team that year, Davidson said.

throughout the playoffs, was killed in a car wreck about 10 years ago.

“That was just a terrible tragedy losing David,” Davidson said. “My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. We all miss David Caughman.”

Team managers Charlie Whiteaker and Tyson McCathern also attended Saturday’s reunion party.

“I was so happy when we won the state,” Whiteaker said. “And I still am.”

Davidson said getting ready for the 20-year-anniversary party has triggered plenty of memories.

“It’s been exciting getting ready for this party tonight,” Davidson said.

“The emotion has always been there.

It was a very special time in my life.

One of my memories is sitting in the dugout with assistant coaches George

Wallace and Chuck Hawkins after the season was over. We had been working on the field. Chuck said ‘You better drink this in right now, because it is going to get sweeter as time goes by.’ ” Davidson said he has enjoyed going back and reading the sports stories and listening to the radio broadcasts.

“And as the years go by, you realize more and more that it was never about me,” he said. “It was about us. It was a team that had great chemistry.

We had no divisions on this team. We had plenty of characters, but everybody got along.”

The lawsuit filed late Wednesday by 30-year-old Alexan- HERNANDEZ der Bradley comes as police in New England investigate the death of 27-year-old semi-pro player Odin Lloyd.

Lloyd’s body was found in an industrial park near Hernandez’s home in North Attleborough, Mass. Lloyd’s family has said he had some connection to Hernandez but would not elaborate.

In his federal lawsuit seeking at least $100,000 in damages, Bradley claims he and Hernandez were with a group in February at Tootsie’s club in Miami when the two got into an argument. Later, as they were driving to Palm Beach County, Bradley claims Hernandez shot him with a handgun, causing him to lose his right eye.

JUNIOR P-15’S SWEEP

The Sumter Post 15 Junior American Legion baseball team swept a doubleheader from Lake City on Wednesday at Riley Park, winning the first game by a 4-3 score and the nightcap 10-0.

In the opening game, Matthew Miles picked up the victory with seven strikeouts. Robert James and Dante Hartman each had a hit and scored a run for the Junior P-15’s.

In the second game, Dalton Kirkhart was the winning pitcher.

Chase Belk was 2-for-3 with a double and two runs while Ryan Taylor had two hits and two runs.

James had two hits and Evan Todd had a hit and scored twice.

Sumter is now 7-4 on the season and plays at South Florence today at 7 p.m.

HOFFMAN LEADS TRAVELERS

CROMWELL, Conn. — Charley Hoffman missed the course record by a stroke, but shot 61 Thursday to take the lead after the first round of the Travelers Championship.

Hoffman hit a 126-yard approach shot within 3-feet of the pin to help him birdie 18 and separate himself by a stroke from Hunter Mahan, who posted an early 62. Bubba Watson was two strokes back.

From wire reports

ing round of the playoffs were big wins for the Dragons.

“We beat Chesterfield at home on an attempted steal at home,” Davidson said.

The biggest win of all, and the best memory for Davidson, was defeating Furman 4-3 in the championship game at Sarge Frye Field, the University of South Carolina’s old field.

“Playing at Sarge Frye Field just made the championship game even more special,” Davidson said. “It just brought the game to another level..

I’ll be honest. I felt like we were going to win that game. And the players felt like we were going to win. We had just lost to Furman in the second game of the series. But we were confident going into that final game, and I think you have to be.”

Wallace, who is now a teacher at Lee Central High, which came into being when Bishopville and Mount Pleasant were merged, wore his uniform to Saturday’s reunion.

“The 1993 championship baseball team was the last athletic team at Bishopville High to win a state championship,” Wallace said. “The boys basketball team made it to the finals a couple of times, but never won a title.”

Wallace said he will also remember the “tremendous community support.

“There were big crowds during the playoffs, here at home when we played,” Wallace said. “And there was a huge crowd in Columbia for the championship game. It was a great time.”

Kids helped Heat, Spurs keep perspective NBA FINALS NOTEBOOK

BY TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Boston’s Larry Bird, left, passes around Los Angeles Lakers’ Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, right, during Boston’s victory in the Game 7 of the 1984 NBA Finals in Boston. The rareness of the 7th game, winner-take-all scenario is what makes it so special.

NBA Game 7s are rare treats

BY JON KRAWCZYNSKI The Associated Press MIAMI — It all comes down to this.

Heroes are made, legacies are forged and hearts are broken in Game 7s of the NBA Finals. It’s a shame they don’t come around more often.

David Stern has spent 30 years as NBA commissioner, and he’s only been able to see the league’s ultimate event five times. The rareness of the one game, winner-take-all scenario is what makes it special.

That certainly isn’t lost on Stern, who plans to retire in February and is watching his last finals as commissioner.

The San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat took this year’s series to a Game 7 — the third one in the last nine years, a pattern that basketball enthusiasts hope will continue.

“To have two wellconstructed and each, in their own way, fabled teams with playoff MVPs, with finals MVPs, certain Hall of Famers, seven championships among them, having had a great season,’’ Stern said Thursday afternoon, “it’s as good as it gets.’’

Rare are the occasions where the season definitively comes down to its very last day. Senses are heightened.

Stomachs are churning.

“You go through a long season and you’re not thinking today’s the last day,’’ said ESPN analyst Kurt Rambis, who played in two Game 7s with the Lakers in 1984 and ‘88.

“That one, it is a real defining moment. There are a lot of emotions that you go through thinking about the what-ifs of you winning and what-ifs of you losing. You start thinking about everything you went through to get to that point. It’s clear that it’s over with after today.’’

Here’s a look at some of the most recent finals

Game 7s: 2010: Lakers 83, Celtics 79. Kobe Bryant had tried to pretend the Celtics were just another opponent, but he could finally admit otherwise after the Lakers pulled off a fourth-quarter rally to avenge a loss to their biggest rival two years earlier.

2005: Spurs 81, Pistons 74. Tied at 57 going into the final quarter, the final game of the 2005 season was anything but an offensive masterpiece. But the Spurs found more than enough scoring down the stretch to capture their third title in six years.

1988: Lakers 108, Pistons 105. Pat Riley famously said that his Los Angeles Lakers would defend their 1987 title.

He was correct, but his club was taken to the absolute limit by Detroit. The Pistons played down the stretch without their floor leader, as Isiah Thomas succumbed to the sprained ankle he was trying to play through.

1984: Celtics 111, Lakers 102. Round 1 goes to Larry Legend. In the first finals meeting between Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, the Celtics and Lakers traded punches in a tense first six games. Back at the Boston Garden for Game 7, Bird put up 20 points and 12 rebounds to get the better of his rival from Los Angeles.

1978: Bullets 105, SuperSonics 99. One of the most unlikely matchups provided one of the more memorable games in finals history. The Bullets led by 11 points before Seattle surged back into the game, cutting the deficit to 101-99 in the final 90 seconds.

Sonics big man Paul Silas intentionally fouled Bullets forward Wes Unseld. Unseld made both free throws and Bobby Dandridge dunked home the last of his 19 points to seal Washington’s only basketball title.

MIAMI — These NBA Finals were apparently about the kids.

Whether it was Tim Duncan spending a few minutes with his children at halftime of Game 5 of the series — a scene captured by television cameras as the Spurs’ forward sat on the floor resting up for the second half — or Miami Heat star LeBron James celebrating one of his sons’ birthdays in San Antonio last week, kids were never out of mind for either team during the title series.

“They know if I won or lost,’’ James said. “But for the most part, when you have them around, man, it puts everything in perspective.’’

James was planning to spend some time before Game 7 of the finals on Thursday night against San Antonio watching SpongeBob with his kids, and most of the Heat players were expected to have the vast majority of their families in the building for the final game of the season.

Heat forward Chris Bosh said even at the most important time of the season, having his children around makes life much easier, especially because they aren’t wrapped up in the pressure that comes with trying to win an NBA championship.

“Kids are the best medicine because they don’t care anything about the game,’’ Bosh said. “They don’t even know what Game 7 means. Of course they know Daddy wants to win and they want Daddy to win and that’s good enough. But all they want to do is have fun, smile and play.’’

PLAYOFF SHARES

The Heat and Spurs were playing for a little something

more than the NBA title on Thursday night. There also was a small amount of cash at stake.

OK, “small’’ perhaps might only be in NBA-player terms.

In actuality, the clubs were playing Game 7 for $776,717.

Such was the difference in the playoff shares that the clubs would be receiving from the league out of this season’s $13 million pool of postseason money. The winning team on Thursday night would be getting an additional $2,302,232 to split however it chooses from the league office; the losing team would be getting an additional $1,525,515.

WHISTLE WATCH

More fouls were called per game this season in the NBA than a year ago, though whistles apparently blew at a lessfrequent rate than at just about any other point in the last quarter-century.

Entering Thursday, there

Despite their relative wealth of experience, both teams looked a little nervous and a little gassed from an epic Game 6 two nights ago.

Duncan put up 30 points and 17 rebounds in a throwback performance, but James scored 16 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter and posted his second triple-double of the finals and Ray Allen made a 3-pointer with 5.2 seconds to go that forced overtime and rescued the Heat.

the top of the key and dribbling the length of the court for a dunk and later blocking a dunk attempt from Bosh.

Battier, who got off to a horrid shooting start in the first five games of the finals, couldn’t miss in Game 7. His third 3 of the first half gave Miami a 21-16 lead early in the second quarter.

But Parker got going with a couple of free throws and a savvy back-down of Mario Chalmers on the block and Duncan converted a three-point play to tie it at 27.

James missed four of his first six shots, but converted a three-point play on an acrobatic drive to the rim and hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key for a 33-27 lead, bringing the white-clad

were an average of 39.99 fouls called per game (including both the regular season and the playoffs) in the NBA this season, up slightly from last year’s 39.39-per-game clip.

Still, that looks like pretty good behavior when compared to just a few seasons ago.

In 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons, NBA referees called an average of 45.16 fouls per game. Put a different way, referees called more than 7,700 fewer fouls this season than they did in Miami’s first title season of 2005-06.

QUOTABLE

The final practices of the season were shootaround sessions for both teams on Thursday morning, and both produced some of the best oneliners of the entire series.

From Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, asked about his legacy: “Food and wine. It’s just a job.’’

home crowd to their feet.

Duncan just wouldn’t let the Spurs fade. The 37-year-old had a three-point play, four free throws and another layup that tied the game at 40 and Ginobili’s two free throws gave the Spurs the lead again at 42-40.

James’ putback tied it again and Wade hit a mid-range jumper just before the first-half buzzer to give the Heat the halftime lead.

For a series that has swung back and forth so wildly — from game to game and quarter to quarter — it had to go the distance. The two teams traded victories through the first six games, with blowouts in Games 2-5 sandwiched between classics in Game 1 and Game 6.

This was just the sixth Game 7 in an NBA Finals in the last 35 years, and the gravi-

ty of of the situation certainly hit home with the players.

“All of our legacies are tied to this moment, this game,” Allen said. “It’s something our kids will be able to talk about that they were a part of. Forever will remember these moments, so we want to not live and have any regrets.”

Luminaries including Bill Russell, Cal Ripken Jr., Jack Nicklaus and the hip-hop star Drake were in attendance for this highly anticipated matchup that had so much on the line for both teams.

For James and the Heat, it was a chance to cement themselves atop the NBA universe.

A second straight title would thrust the Heat into the same sentence of some of the great franchises who have gone back-to-back.

When Wimbledon begins on Monday at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon, England, Serena Williams will be on a 31-match winning streak and an overwhelming favorite to win her second consecutive title and 17th major overall.

Serena eyes 17th major

BY HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press Nothing drives Serena Williams the way disappointment does.

“It’s the biggest factor for me. Like, if I lose, all hell breaks loose, literally.

Literally! I go home, I practice harder, I do more,’’ she said. “I don’t like to lose. ... I hate losing more than I love winning.

It could be a game of cards — I don’t like it. I really don’t like it.’’

Well, the way Williams has been playing tennis lately, there’s been very little not to like. When Wimbledon starts Monday, she will be an overwhelming favorite to win her sixth title at the All England Club and second in a row. Williams enters the grass-court Grand Slam tournament 43-2 in 2013 and on a 31match winning streak, the longest on the women’s tour in a single season in 13 years.

“It happens in sports: You’re going to lose. I learned that you’re not going to win all of them.

And there have been a few matches that I wasn’t disappointed in,’’ said Williams, who at 31 is the oldest player to be ranked No. 1 in WTA history.

“But there were some that I was disappointed in,’’ she added, “and it’s actually helped me to get better.’’

Case in point: A little more than a year ago, Williams arrived at the French Open unbeaten for the season on red clay and

anticipating a charge at the title. Instead, she lost in the first round, the only opening-match exit from a major tournament in her career.

Since that dark day at Roland Garros, Williams is 74-3, including trophies at three of the past four Slams and the WTA Championships, plus gold at the London Olympics.

There are four men, meanwhile, who all have real reason to like their chances, a quartet that’s combined to collect 32 of the past 33 Grand Slam tournaments: defending champion Roger Federer, owner of a record 17 Grand Slam titles, including seven at Wimbledon; No. 1-ranked Novak Djokovic, who won Wimbledon in 2011; two-time champion Rafael Nadal, whose record eighth French Open trophy this month raised his career haul to 12 major titles; and Andy Murray, the runner-up last year at the All England Club and reigning U.S. Open champion who wants to give Britain its first male title winner at Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936.

But Williams stands alone atop the women’s game at the moment.

High-scoring Game 4 flips script on Stanley Cup

BY JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; So much for all the talk about the impenetrable goalies, and forget about those lane-clogging defensemen. It was all about the offense in Game 4, and the hangover could extend into the final three games of the deadlocked Stanley Cup finals.

Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6-5 overtime victory at Boston on Wednesday night was the highest-scoring game in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NHL playoffs. There were breakaways, rebounds, long slap shots and tips.

Eleven goals in all, coming from all over the ice.

It all raises questions about how the remainder of this compelling series will look. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess a series like this can take some unexpected turns sometimes, and you saw that last night,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to make any predictions for what happens in the next game, but obviously thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of things we want to carry into this game, Game 5, here.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The biggest variable could be the recovery of goalies Tuukka Rask of the Bruins and Corey Crawford of the Blackhawks, who have a couple days to find their game again before the series resumes in Chicago on Saturday night.

Rask and Crawford had been the best two goalies in the playoffs before each of them stumbled under heavy

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The winning goal crosses into the net behind Boston goalie Tuukka Rask (40) as Chicago evened the Stanley Cup finals with a 6-5 victory in overtime on Wednesday in Boston. The high-scoring affair was not the norm in what has been a defensive struggle.

pressure in Game 4. Rask gave up too many prime rebound opportunities, and Crawford was beaten repeatedly on his glove side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every goal is stoppable, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there was any weak one, so to speak,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Rask, who was coming off a 2-0 shutout and had allowed just eight goals in the previous eight playoff games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mistakes piled up and I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to bail our guys out.

Sometimes you do, sometimes you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Crawford was great in each of the

first two finals games in Chicago. He had 51 saves in the three-overtime series opener, keeping the Blackhawks in the game long enough for Andrew Shaw to score the winning goal in a 4-3 victory.

Crawford had 33 stops when the series shifted to Boston for Game 3, but Chicago was unable to get anything going against Rask. And then came more of the glove-side problems on Wednesday night that the Bruins have exploited all series long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A couple tough breaks last night,

especially when we had the lead at 3-1 or 4-2, Boston is going to open up a little bit,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane said Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think for us that we can play better defensively, maybe get in some shooting lanes and block some of those shots.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Chicago held leads of 1-0, 3-1, 4-2 and 5-4, but Boston rallied each time.

The glove-side issue is a tricky little one for coach Joel Quenneville and the Blackhawks, who know thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the Bruins are trying to go, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want Crawford to focus so much on that area that it gets into his head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very comfortable with Corey,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Quenneville said, dismissing the idea of inserting backup Ray Emery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Corey has been rock solid all year for us, and when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the ball, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been outstanding, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest reason why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here today.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rask was working on a shutout streak of 129 minutes, 14 seconds when Michal Handzus had a beautiful sliding score in the first period Wednesday night off a nice pass from Brandon Saad on a fast break.

It was a sign of things to come for the Bruins, who had sustained trouble with the Blackhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; speed for the first time in the series.

Marcus Kruger completed a 2-on1 break in the second period with his third goal of the playoffs. Kruger and Michael Frolik got down the ice so quickly that there was time for Kruger to poke home his own rebound after Rask stopped his first attempt.

‘Tripping Out’ is latest show to blend travel, food

BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH It’s not enough to cook anymore. You have to hit the road. The days of Julia Child or Sara Moulton standing vigil over the kitchen range are over.

You have to travel to exotic places and eat weird food prepared in colorful ways by strange people.

The blending of travel and food has become so intrinsic to cable that it’s easy to confuse the Cooking, the Food and the Travel Channels. Famed chefs and gourmands Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern did their eating on the Travel Channel’s dime. Zimmern’s “Bizarre Foods America” returns on July 1. Bourdain’s “No Reservations” ended its run on the Travel Channel, but he can still be seen on “Parts Unknown” on CNN. “Tripping Out With Alie & Georgia” (10:30 p.m., Cooking) becomes the latest series to invite viewers on a road trip.

This series emphasizes the breezy friendship between the two hosts and their whimsical take on culinary discoveries.

Their sojourn begins in Las Vegas and will, over the course of a season, visit mud bath lovers in California and synchronized swimmers in Miami while taking time to sample regional fare along the way.

the 2003 made-for-TV movie “The Elizabeth Smart Story” (8 p.m., TVPG), followed by the 2013 nonfiction account “Cleveland House of Horror: Beyond the Headlines” (10 p.m., TV14).
