“If you’re ever in trouble, pick up the phone and dial 911.” Since we were children, those words have been etched into our minds like a divine message chiseled into granite. In just a short time, it becomes a reflex response to an emergency, and just like taxes, you can always rely on 911 personnel to answer the phone and send help quickly. That rings true for every emergency, every call. However, not every call is an emergency. Operator: 911? Caller: Is there a policeman near Mary Ann’s Deli on Guignard Drive? Operator: Near where on Guignard? Caller: Uh... Mary Ann’s Deli. Operator: I can get one near there. What’s going on? Caller: Well, there is like a poisonous lizard in the car ... and we can’t get him out. And ... um ... There’s like 5 women trying to get it out of the car. Calls like this are commonplace, according to emergency dispatcher Shirlene Skipper. “It happens pretty often,” Skipper said. “We

Buchanan said the model drew him in because “the wood looks like wood, and there’s just an astonishing attention to detail, even down to how realistic the flags look. It’s incredible.”

One thing was clear on Thursday night as Pinewood Town Council members held a workshop to work on the town’s 2013-14 budget. There’s still some work to be done before the budget is finalized for passage by the June 30 deadline mandated by state law. “I’m not sure where we’re at,” said Councilwoman Frances Lester on Saturday. “I know what we went over on Thursday night, but we did not vote on it Thursday night. We’ve had first reading that I believe was legal, but I think we need to hold a public hearing again.” Before Thursday’s meeting, Pinewood’s general fund budget for the next fiscal year stood at $171,795, with its water and wastewater budget slightly less at $149,700. These numbers carried over from first reading, which was held in May. Council members held a nominal public hearing in June. Lester thinks, however, the

United Way launches website for volunteers Technology helps users find ways to serve community BY JADE ANDERSON janderson@theitem.com United Way of Sumter, Clarendon and Lee Counties Inc. recently launched a new website to connect volunteers with opportunities to help in their communities. “A lot of folks don’t know where to go,” said Natasha Jenkins, community develop-

ment director for the Sumterbased United Way. “If I call and they don’t need me now, I’ve kind of given up.” They are now looking for interested individuals and agencies to sign up before a hard launch by the end of summer. While people can visit the site to search for volunteer opportunities, the more effective method is to create a volunteer profile, she said. “It saves time because you don’t have to go back and look and look,” Jenkins said. “It takes some of the work-

load off them.” People can select areas of interest, such as working with children or the elderly; availability, such as weekends and weekdays; and duration, such as half days or whole days. This allows time for pretraining for disaster relief, Jenkins said, or any required paperwork to be completed before volunteering. When a new opportunity is listed that matches the profile, the potential volunteer receives an email. The website also has a tool to track and calculate hours volun-

teered, Jenkins said, which is good for organizations and companies who require people to volunteer. If the interests of the group or person changes, he or she can always update the profile, Jenkins said. The same goes for agencies. They create a profile with information about their organization, upcoming events and contact information. “This is another great avenue to try to get volunteers to help the community,” said Nancy Cataldo, Red Cross

Sandhills Chapter executive director. Her organization relies on 98 percent volunteerism, Cataldo said. “It’s an excellent idea, and it could connect us with volunteers we might not reach in our usual efforts,” said Shirley Baker, executive director of Sumter Senior Services. “We’re looking forward to using it.” For more information, visit www.uwaysumter.org/volunteer or contact Kari Cruse at kcruse@uwaysumter.org or at (803) 773-7935.

Bestselling Lowcountry author to speak, sign books BY IVY MOORE ivym@theitem.com Whether she’s a novelist who writes about the environment or an environmentalist who writes compelling stories that also inform about environmental issues is a moot point — she does both extremely well. Nature always has a central role in Mary Alice Monroe’s books. In “The Butterfly’s Daughter,” it was the monarch butterfly; endangered sea turtles provided the backdrop for “The Beach House”; and it’s dolYOU CAN GO phins, particularly one named Delphine, in WHAT: Mary Alice “The Summer Girls,” Monroe book signing which will be released WHEN: 6 p.m. Thursday Tuesday and will be WHERE: Books-A-Milavailable at Books-Alion, Sumter Mall, 1057 Million in Sumter Mall. Broad St. Munroe will also speak and sign books at the store at 6 p.m. on Thursday. “The Summer Girls” is set at Sea Breeze, the old family beach house MONROE on Sullivan’s Island, where Marietta Muir, grandmother of the “summer girls,” lives. Mamaw, as the nowgrown women have always called her, is celebrating her 80th birthday, so she invites the granddaughters, half-sisters and progeny of her only, now-deceased son, to spend the summer — just as they did when they were children. Mamaw hopes to bring the family close again as a final, lasting legacy. Each of the women, named by their father for one of his favorite Southern writers — Dora, Harper and Carson (for Welty, Lee and McCullers) — has her own baggage. The plot centers on each character’s, including Mamaw, coming to terms with her own past, current problems and needs, as the Lowcountry, memories, relationships and new experiences come to a Lowcountry boil. Will they, as Mamaw hopes, “weather ... this roller coaster of family secrets ... with ... grace and courage ...” and come out healed? “The Summer Girls” will speak not just to Southerners and beach lovers, but to anyone who enjoys a good read. The good news is that Monroe wrote it as the first of three novels under the umbrella title “The Lowcountry Summer Trilogy.” While “The Summer Girls” focuses largely on Carson, Monroe said “Summer Solstice” will follow Dora, and “Summer’s End” will tell youngest daughter Harper’s story. Pat Conroy calls Monroe “the premier nature writer among Southern novelists,” and Booklist said she “makes her characters so believable, the reader can almost hear them breathing.” Readers will want to breathe the warm Atlantic air deeply. “The Summer Girls” will surely strike some deep chords.

Officer Pete Schmid collects paperwork from the 23 teens involved in Sumter Youth Corps this summer. He is with the Sumter Police Department and also serves as a middle-school resource officer.

Youth Corps creates jobs for teens BY JADE ANDERSON janderson@theitem.com The Sumter Police Department, in conjunction with City of Sumter Community Development Department, has a plan for keeping teenagers busy this summer — put them to work. The Sumter Youth Corps 2013 groups held their kick-off celebration Friday, and the 23 youths will soon be cleaning up city parks and yards of the elderly. “I like working with the kids,” said Officer Andrea Kolb, now in her sixth and final year with the program. “They go from being shy, embarrassed and awkward with each other to being a small family after working together.” Funded through the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant funds since 1994, 14- and 15-year-olds that live within the city limits apply for the positions in May. Then they go through an interview process. “I love (that) it provides interaction between law enforcement and the youth, it gives them the opportunity to be gainfully employed

during the summer and it gives them the experience of coming to an interview and orientation,” said Officer Pete Schmid. The middleschool resource officer, known to students as “Officer Pete,” has been with the program for about 10 years. “It was challenging,” said Courtney Goodman, a rising Sumter High School sophomore. “I’d never filled out a work application before. I want to stay out of trouble this year. I mean, I always do. I just want to keep busy.” The interview part was more intimidating for rising eighth-grader Isaiah Drayton. “I was nervous at first, but it was kind of easy,” said the Bates Middle School student. “It was the three officers asking questions about our experience with the tools. I honestly wanted something to do this summer, and I wanted to see what it feels like to have a real job.” For six weeks, the adolescents will work from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. four days a week with field trips on Friday. “It keeps them out of trouble and off the streets,” Kolb said. “It gives the children a chance to improve

their community. Often, people in the community see children as a problem, but they’re really not.” Isaiah is looking forward to the annual amusement park trip. “I haven’t been to Carowinds since I was 3 or 4, so I really have no memories of it,” he said. Officer Charles Conyers, now in his third year with the program, likes that Youth Corps teaches the teens teamwork, he said. He, too, is a resource officer at Sumter High, and this is his final year with the corps. It is the second year for team leaders and rising Sumter High sophomores Precious Boone and Shayla Osborne. “I don’t want to be sitting home all day, and I’d have to baby sit kids,” Boone said. “I don’t want that. I think it will be great to be a team leader and showing people how to do stuff.” Osborne agreed. “I think it’s a good opportunity for people to listen to me and for me to guide them and help them,” she said. “I like helping my community.” Reach Jade Anderson at (803) 774-1250. Officer Charles Conyers, front, solicits questions from the new recruits for the team leaders and returning Youth Corps members, from left, Corey Pringle, Precious Boone, Shayla Osborne and Wyatt Kolb.

Almost 4 years on, cruise plan still in court CHARLESTON (AP) — It’s been almost four years since the South Carolina Ports Authority announced plans to build a new $35 million cruise terminal in downtown Charleston. Under the original schedule, that terminal would be open now. Instead, questions about the terminal and the city’s year-round cruise industry raised by environmental and neighborhood groups have ended up in court. Lawsuits are in state and federal court, and an administrative law judge in January will hear concerns about a permit issued by state

regulators for the terminal at the site of an existing warehouse. Final resolution won’t come until next year at the earliest. According to court schedules: • The state Supreme Court has given attorneys until July 8 to file briefs on whether cruises constitute a public nuisance and violate city zoning ordinances. This is in a state case the court agreed to hear without it first going through lower courts. The Preservation Society of Charleston, the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League and neighborhood groups

have sued Carnival Cruise Lines seeking to block cruise operations and have the court declare it illegal to build the terminal. • A November trial date has tentatively been set in federal court for a lawsuit brought by the Conservation League and the Preservation Society against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In the case, moved from Washington, D.C., last year, the plaintiffs seek to invalidate a Corps permit saying more federal review of the terminal’s effect on the city’s historic district is needed. • Chief South Caroli-

Doctors make progress toward â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;artificial pancreasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer Doctors are reporting a major step toward an â&#x20AC;&#x153;artificial pancreas,â&#x20AC;? a device that would constantly monitor blood sugar in people with diabetes and automatically supply insulin as needed.

Don’t want mug shot online? Then pay up, sites say BY ADAM GELLER AP National Writer After more than seven years and a move 2,800 miles across the country, Christopher Jones thought he’d left behind reminders of the arrest that capped a bitter break-up. That was, until he searched the Internet last month and came face-to-face with his 2006 police mug shot. The information below the photo, one of millions posted on commercial website mugshots.com, did not mention that the apartment Jones was arrested for burglarizing was the one he’d recently moved out of, or that Florida prosecutors decided shortly afterward to drop the case. But, otherwise, the digital media artist’s run-in with the law was there for anyone, anywhere, to see. And if he wanted to erase the evidence, said Jones, now a resident of Livermore, Calif., the site’s operator told him it would cost $399. Jones said he was angered by the terms of the offer, but no more so than scores of other people across the country discovering that past arrests — many for charges eventually dismissed or that resulted in convictions later expunged — make them part of an unwilling, but potentially enormous customer base for a fastproliferating number of mug shot websites. With a business model built on the strengths of technology, the weaknesses of human nature and the reach of the First Amendment, the sites are proving that in the Internet age, old assumptions about people’s ability to put the past behind them no longer apply. The sites, some charging fees exceeding $1,000 to “unpublish” records of multiple arrests, have prompted lawsuits in Ohio and Pennsylvania by people

whose mug shots they posted for a global audience. They have also sparked efforts by legislators in Georgia and Utah to pass laws making it easier to remove arrest photos from the sites without charge or otherwise curb the sites. But site operators and critics agree that efforts to rein them in treads on uncertain legal ground, made more complicated because some sites hide their ownership and location and purport to operate from outside the U.S. “The First Amendment gives people the right to do this,” said Marc G. Epstein, an attorney in Hallandale, Fla., who said he represents the operator of mugshots.com, which lists an address on the Caribbean island of Nevis. “I don’t think there was ever a First Amendment that contemplated the permutations of communication that we have now.” Operators of some sites say they’re performing a public service, even as they seek profit. “I absolutely believe that a parent, for instance, has a right to know if their kid’s coach has been arrested. I think the public has a right to know that and I feel they have a right to know that easily, accessibly and not having to go to a courthouse,” said Arthur D’Antonio III, CEO of justmugshots. com, a Nevada-based site that started in early 2012 and now claims a database of more than 10 million arrest photos. But critics are skeptical. “I can’t find any public interest that’s served if you are willing to take it (a mug shot) down if I give you $500. Then what public interest are you serving?” said Roger Bruce, a state representative from the Atlanta area who authored a law, set to take effect July 1, requiring sites to remove photos

free for those arrested in Georgia if they can show that charges have since been dismissed. Scott Ciolek, a Toledo lawyer who last year brought suit against

four sites on behalf of two Ohioans dismayed to find their arrest photos online, said the mug shot publishers are taking advantage of people’s embarrassment to

unfairly squeeze them for profit. “The individuals who are victims of these extortions want as little attention on them as possible, if you know what

I’m saying,” Ciolek said. The mug shot sites are just the latest ventures harnessing the Internet to aggregate information that previously would have taken considerable time, trouble or expense for ordinary people to uncover. That power underlies sites like ancestry.com, which compiles genealogical information including birth and death certificates, census and immigration records and other public documents in a forum that makes it much easier than previously possible for Americans to trace their family roots.

Natalie Kelly told Gibson. “One of the victims has told us that (DuRant) told her God told him to do this to her in order to give her blessings,” Kelly said. The alleged victims have told police, Kelly said, that DuRant repeatedly used his position in the church to force them into various sexual acts, including oral and vaginal intercourse. During the hearing held Saturday, Kelly said the victims included

a minor female and a high school senior. DuRant allegedly committed the acts at both his church, which is within city limits, and his home between December 2012 and late May 2013. “None of the victims are members of this church anymore that we are aware of,” Kelly told Gibson, after he asked about a “no contact” provision as part of the bond. “I just want to make sure that if he is able to pay the bond, he doesn’t have this provision and these (alleged) victims are still members at this church,” Gibson said.

911 Workers at local 911 dispatch ready for every situation from Page A1 BY ROB COTTINGHAM rcottingham@theitem.com

receive 1,100 calls a day at the call center. About 30 percent of those are abandoned calls.â&#x20AC;? But surely a poisonous lizard is a threat worthy of a 911 call, or at least would be, were it likely to happen. According to Whit Gibbons of Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, a research group that studies wildlife in South Carolina and Georgia, that scenario seems unlikely, since there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any lizards native to the area with venomous bites. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no native species of poisonous lizards in South Carolina,â&#x20AC;? Gibbons said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, there are only two actual venom-producing species of lizards in the world: gila monsters and Mexican beaded lizards.â&#x20AC;? The closest thing in this state? A skink, but even they are only poisonous to small animals and only when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eaten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pose any threat to people, really,â&#x20AC;? Gibbons said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They might upset your stomach, but they only tend to do any damage to things like cats or dogs. Even then, eating a skink isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lethal to them.â&#x20AC;? One would hope calls like these are infrequent occurrences, but the truth is quite the opposite. According to the Federal Communications Commission website, the 911 phone number was first instituted in Haleyville, Ala., in 1968 as a means for the public to make immediate contact with emergency personnel when in a dire situation. In 1999, U.S. Congress ordered the FCC to make 911 the universal emergency contact number for all telephone services across the country. When an individual dials 911, he or she is connected to a dispatcher at a Public Safety Answering Point, who then relays that information to local emergency personnel.

Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due to such large numbers involved or how abstract its principles might be, some things are just hard to imagine. For example, the Sumter 911 center answers 1,100 telephone calls every 24-hour day, according to Shirlene Skipper. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just more than 45 calls an hour, or 401,500 calls a year. To this point in the year, 911 correspondents in Sumter The FCC uses clear language on its website about the purpose of these services, stating, â&#x20AC;&#x153;911 lines are designated for emergency calls, such as reporting a crime in progress, reporting a fire or requesting an ambulance.â&#x20AC;? The organization also states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Using 911 for non-emergency calls may delay help for people caught in real emergencies,â&#x20AC;? an obvious warning to the public about the misuse or abuse of the system. In South Carolina, abusing the 911 system can result in fines up to $200 and/or up to six monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; imprisonment. Nonetheless, nearly every agency dispatched by emergency services has stories to share that leave them scratching their heads.

County have dispatched 71,028 calls for service, meaning that either a fire truck, ambulance or law enforcement patrol car was sent somewhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yearly, we average 160,000 calls for service jointly,â&#x20AC;? Skipper said in an email. While those figures are certainly intimidating, Skipper said her staff is prepared to take it all on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like for (people) to know how professional their TCOs (Telecommunication Operators) are,â&#x20AC;? she wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A

OPINION THE ITEM

SUNDAY, JUNE 23, 2013 To submit a letter to the editor, e-mail letters@theitem.com

Tuomey board owes citizens an explanation GUEST OPINION

EDITOR’S NOTE: Russ Weinberg is a lifelong resident of Sumter. He is a Nationally Board Certified Teacher in Richland County School District One, where he has taught for the last eight years. He can be reached at weinberg@ftc-i.net.

| Tuomey for violation of the Stark Law and the Federal False Claims Act.

cians to sign contracts which essentially paid these doctors for referrals to Tuomey’s own outpatient surgery center. These contracts also contained non-compete clauses that effectively Russ prohibited the doctors WEINBERG from using any other outpatient surgery center for their patients. The first batch of these contracts was approved by the Tuomey board in December of 2004.

Tuomey’s main objective is the promotion of health for all residents of Sumter and its outlying areas. This is part of Tuomey’s statement of purpose from its IRS Form 990 filed with the IRS and available online at guidestar.com. Our hospital is now in danger of no longer being able to fulfill its purpose because it has been found guilty of violating the Stark Law and the Federal False Claims Act for illegally paying doctors for referrals to its outpatient surgery center and by presenting clams to the Medicare and Medicaid programs for reimbursement for these payments. As citizens of the area that the hospital is supposed to serve, we have the right to ask how we got to this point. A review of some of the massive amounts of documents placed into the court record over the course of two jury trials and an appeal suggests that there were four decision points — or “hinges” — at which this fiasco could have been averted. At each of these hinges, if Tuomey had chosen to take a path different from the one that it took, then it would probably not be in the mess in which it finds itself today.

HINGE POINT THREE: SETTLE THE CASE OR TRY IT

Knowing that they were facing a situation that was essentially indefensible according to the leading expert on the Stark Law, Tuomey could have actively pursued a settlement with the government. Instead, they decided to take a case to trial that should have never seen the inside of a courtroom and the result was a verdict of nearly $45 million against Tuomey for violation of the Stark Law. Despite this, Tuomey was lucky because errors made by the trial judge created grounds for an appeal. That brings this saga to its next hinge point.

HINGE POINT TWO: FOLLOW OR IGNORE LEGAL ADVICE

Between December 2004 and May 2005, negotiations took place between Tuomey and more Sumter physicians with an eye toward getting them to sign similar contracts. These negotiations hit a snag when Dr. Michael Drakeford refused to sign because his lawyer, Greg Smith, had advised him that the contracts violated the Stark Law. Through its lawyer, Tim Hewson of the Nexsen Pruet law firm in Columbia, Tuomey disagreed and claimed that the contracts were legal. In order to try to resolve this impasse, Hewson and Smith decided to jointly hire attorney Kevin McAnaney to review the contract and to give his opinion on its legality. McAnaney, a former government official, is one of the primary authors of the Stark Law and of the regulations that put it into effect. He was formally hired for this purpose on May 6, 2005. Based on his review, McAnaney concluded that the contracts were “very risky” and would raise “red flags” with the government as Stark Law violations because they authorized payments to doctors for their services at a rate that was probably above fair market value in exchange for exclusive referrals of their patients to the Tuomey Outpatient Surgery Center. He also said that such contracts would probably result in a lawsuit by the government against Tuomey which would be “fairly straightforward” and that it was “very doubtful” that these agreements would fit into any of the exceptions to the Stark Law. Tuomey choose to ignore this advice. In a letter to McAnaney dated September 3, 2005, Hewson told McAnaney to stop his work and not put his opinions in writing. A month later, the government filed suit against

HINGE POINT ONE: EFFECTIVELY COMPETE OR CRUSH THE COMPETITION

On October 26, 2001, Sumter Urological Surgery Center LLC submitted an application for a certificate of need to the Department of Health and Environmental Control to build a freestanding ambulatory surgery center, which ultimately became known as Wesmark Ambulatory Surgery Center. Of course, this presented the possibility that Tuomey would actually have to compete with another local health care provider for patients. Rather than try to effectively compete with this new entity the way most businesses do in a free market economy, Tuomey decided to try to crush the doctors who dared challenge it for business by opposing their certificate of need application. When that didn’t work, the administration began a process of aggressively recruiting Sumter physi-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR What has happened to my beloved Sumter High School? Students and teachers are enjoying a few weeks of rest; however, the dysfunction of the district lingers. I taught at Sumter High School for 21 years and considered it to be the best public high school in the state until my retirement in June 2012. Over the 21 years, education changed. The dedicated teachers at SHS rose to the new required challenges, some of which included cramming curriculum into fewer instructional hours when block scheduling was adopted, increasing their teaching strategy repertoire, modifying lesson plans to include the South Carolina Standards and learning new technology. The teachers at SHS adapted to the changes because they were professionals who loved the students and the art of teaching. During this time period, we worked under three different principals and one interim principal. We were always respected by administration who considered us to be professionals. SHS won numerous awards including the Blue Ribbon School Award two consecutive years and was recognized nationally as a model high school. Staff from other states visited SHS and studied our model. It became an International Baccalaureate school in 2001 after rigorous evaluations by the IB Committee. SHS is designated as a magnet school because of this distinguished program. Now this esteemed school is being investigated by SLED for invalid testing procedures during the HSAP. For those who may not know, the HSAP began

HINGE POINT FOUR: RE-TRY THE CASE OR SETTLE IT

In a decision issued on March 30, 2012, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals granted Tuomey a new trial based on mistakes made by the judge in the first trial. This decision was not an unmitigated victory for Tuomey, however, because the court also ruled this new trial would involve not only re-litigation of the Stark Law claim, but also of whether or not Tuomey violated the False Claims Act. This was major because violation of the False Claims Act calls for damages and penalties far above those allowable for just a Stark Law violation. So at this point, Tuomey faced the same indefensible situation on the Stark Law claim that it faced before, along with potentially catastrophic liability under the False Claims Act. You would think this would have made settlement with the government a top priority. Apparently it wasn’t. Tuomey chose to go to trial a second time and was again found liable by the jury for violation of the Stark law and for 21,730 separate violations of the False Claims Act. As a result, Tuomey’s survival is now in question. THE FIFTH HINGE: SETTLE OR APPEAL

The paramount responsibility of any board of trustees is the survival and well-being of the institution it governs; not the well-being of any one individual. To decide to appeal this case a second time would clearly violate that responsibility, especially since the government has indicated a willingness to negotiate a settlement

with the implementation of the S.C. Education Accountability Act of 1998. The purpose of HSAP is to ensure that students graduate with certain knowledge in math and English Language Arts. SHS was a pilot test site for this exam in 1999 and has successfully administered some form of the test every year since then. Comments made by the state Department of Education testing auditors during this year’s HSAP are shocking. What has become of the school I loved? In addition to the HSAP embarrassment, teachers are being intimidated and bullied, which is forcing them to either search for jobs elsewhere or retire early. The students will suffer for the upheaval and degradation of this exceptional school. The school board should be ashamed. KATHY HARRIS Sumter

The current members of the Tuomey board are: Chalmers “Chal” Glenn (Chair) John Brabham (Vice Chair) Phil Palmer (Treasurer) Mitchell “Mitch” Williams (Secretary) Cynthia “Cindy” Reese, MD (Chief of Medical Staff) Jay Cox (President & CEO) LeRoy “Roy” Creech Ben Griffith Kim Harvin Ansel “Andy” McFaddin, MD Henry Moses, MD Nicole Norris Kay Raffield, Ph.D Samuel “Sam” Riddle, MD

in its motion for damages. Negotiations of this sort are not unprecedented. In a similar case from New Jersey, the government agreed to accept just over $200 million to settle a judgment that was in excess of $700 million. The trustees of Tuomey are not public officials because they are not elected by the voters. They are, however, imbued with a public trust which involves nothing less than access to reliable healthcare in our community. To decide to appeal and not to settle this case now would violate that trust and continue the arrogance-driven, head-long charge to destruction that has characterized the leadership of Tuomey for at least the past 10 years. This can’t happen. We the people to whom this public trust is owed need to speak up. We need to call the current Tuomey board members, write letters to the editor, and make our voices heard because — to quote Edmund Burke — “all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” In a letter to Tuomey CEO Jay Cox dated July 19, 2005, Drs. Michael Drakeford, Kurt Stroebel, and Danny Ford said the following words, which proved prophetic: “We fear, however, that in its reaction to the Wesmark Ambulatory Surgery Center threat, Tuomey has followed a path that seriously threatens the achievement of that objective by exposing both the Hospital and its employed physicians to unreasonable Medicare fraud risk. If Tuomey chooses a path of inappropriate financial incentives and threats, we fear that all parties and the community will be the loser.” This was good advice. If only Tuomey had decided to take it.

MAMIE B. ROMAN Mamie Billups Roman, the daughter of the late Bishop Eddie Howard and Ella Brunson Billups, peacefully transitioned from this life into eternity surrounded by family and friends on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, at Tuomey Regional Medical Center. Mamie was born April 23, 1934, in Lee County and was preceded in death by her husband, George Roman Jr. She attended the local public schools of Sumter County and joined the Church of God by Faith at an early age and served until her health failed. Her memory will be cherished by a daughter, Mary Ann (Judy) Roman of Sumter; a grandson, Travis S. (Shaketia) Roman of Sumter; a great-grandson, Damarius S. Roman of Sumter; a greatgranddaughter, Alexis Sinkler of Sumter; a brother, Eddie (Alma) Billups Jr. of Columbus, Ohio; an aunt, Browning Brunson of Bishopville; sis-

911 from Page A9 “We’re here to help, but asking for a taxi service is a bit much, especially through 911.” “There have been many times in which someone will call us for a medical emergency just to get a ride into town,” Hall said. “We’ll drop them off at the ER at Tuomey, they walk into the ER and then right out the front door, calling a friend to come pick them up.” The list of the kinds of mundane calls received by deputies seems to be endless. “We get prank calls, too,” Lee said. “People call us when their kids won’t go to school or because their neighbor’s grass is too long. It’s really bothersome.” Some calls reach a level of absolute absurdity, Capt. Terrance Colclough said as he recalled an incident in which a woman living in the Cherryvale area called dispatch because she found bones in her neighbor’s yard. She thought they belonged to a monkey. “So she wanted us to come out there and investigate,” Colclough said. “She said she saw another monkey hopping around in the trees and wanted us to evacuate Cherryvale ... because ‘monkeys carry AIDS’ and she feared an outbreak would occur.” ‘WE HAVE TO RESPOND’

Across law enforcement, EMS and fire fighters, one belief seems to be unanimous: If someone calls 911 ... “We have to go,” Hall said. “There’s no time to sit and wonder if it’s a real emergency or not. Time is everything, and if it is an emergency, the time spent assessing a situation’s severity is time wasted.” “But we have to respond. It’s not our perception of an emergency, but theirs,” said Holland. The fact that emergency personnel are required to respond to these calls is largely what makes the more whimsical requests so unnerving. “It can definitely be frustrating,” said Bobby Hingst, director of Sum-

She was preceded in death by a brother, Walter Billups. A public viewing will be held from 2 to 7 p.m. Monday at Job’s Mortuary. Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the chapel of Job’s Mortuary, 312 S. Main St. in Sumter. Interment will follow at Stukes Cemetery on Geddings Road.

IF YOU CALL 911: • When you call 911, be prepared to provide the location of the incident, the phone number you’re calling from and the nature of your emergency. • Once the nature of your emergency is established, operators will then ask for details and then provide prearrival instructions. • Regardless of how many questions are being asked, response time is not being affected; authorities are dispatched quickly after you give the location and nature of the incident. The answers you provide are relayed to emergency personnel and greatly help the situation. • Never hang up on a 911 operator unless you are told to do so or there is a threat to your safety. • If you have called 911 by mistake, stay on the line and explain that you have misdialed and do not have an emergency. If you hang up prior to doing so, an operator might try to call you back and dispatch an officer to ensure there is no emergency. Explaining that you have misdialed saves time for emergency personnel to respond to other emergencies.

REASONS TO CALL 911 Authorities say no one should dial 911 unless there is an emergency. Some examples of situations that warrant emergency response are: • a serious medical emergency (chest pains, seizures, bleeding, etc.); • any type of fire (structure, grass, etc.); • any crime in progress (robbery, prowler, etc.); and • any life-threatening situation (traffic wrecks, domestic disputes, etc.).

McMurray tops Ambrose to win Sonoma pole BY JENNA FRYER The Associated Press

11 a.m. followed by a 1:30 p.m. game against Florence. Greenwood faces Wilmington in the other game at 4:30. The P-15’s dropped the opening game of the tournament on Friday, 4-3 to Randolph County, after squandering a couple of late opportunities to pull even or go ahead. Scoring chances were almost non-existent against Biggs, however. The P-15’s never had more than one hit in an inning, were retired 1-2-3 in

SONOMA, Calif. — As Jamie McMurray turned a corner on the season with a string of solid finishes, he picked Sonoma Raceway as MCMURRAY an upcoming track he was looking forward to racing. It seemed like a strange selection considering McMurray has just one top-10 finish at Sonoma in 10 career starts. But he showed his comfort level on the 1.99-mile road course Saturday with a surprise pole-winning run. He topped Marcos Ambrose, a race favorite, with a lap at 94.986 mph. “I felt like I’ve always raced really well here,” McMurray said of choosing Sonoma as a place he thought he could win this year. “For me, the last restarts have really got me. When you have a restart at this track, guys go from top-five to 30th in about 20 seconds. It can be a track that if you

The lack of offense wasn’t so much about what his squad didn’t do, he said, but what Post 36 starting pitcher Landon Biggs did. “He’s the best arm we’ve seen all year,” Johnson said. “And it’s not even close.” The Kernersville left-hander went the

Boyd ready for Heisman race BY AARON BRENNER Post and Courier In Clemson’s spring game program following an illustrious 2012 football season, certain statistics are listed suggesting quarterback Tajh Boyd was more effective last fall than Heisman Trophy finalists Johnny Manziel and Collin Klein. Indeed, Boyd had a better passing efficiency mark and more yards per game, touchdowns and yards per attempt through the air than Manziel, who won the coveted trophy, and Klein. Even with Manziel back for his redshirt sophomore season at Texas A&M, Boyd believes he can hang with the reigning player of the year. Asked if he believes he’s college football’s finest quarterback by host Ryan Russillo during his ESPN Radio appearance Tuesday afternoon, the humble,

Watson drops into 3-way tie at Travelers SPORTS ITEMS

CROMWELL , Conn.— Charley Hoffman lost his chance at winning last year’s Travelers Championship on the 71st hole. His tee shot on the difficult par-4 17th at the TPC of River Highlands found the pond that runs along the fairway and he finished second, missing out on his third PGA Tour win. This year Hoffman is in a three-way tie for the lead heading into Sunday’s final round and he expects a different outcome. Watson, who led by two shots when he began the third round and by four shots midway through it, made three bogeys in his last six holes to help create the logjam. DeLaet tied for the low round of the day with a 65. Bishopville native Tommy Gainey shot an even par on Saturday to remain at 7 under, three shots off the lead.

Bubba Watson chips onto the first green during Saturday’s third round of the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Conn. Watson is tied for the lead with two other players entering today’s final round.

LEWIS LEADS GROUP ATOP NW ARKANSAS CHAMPIONSHIP

ROGERS, Ark.— Stacy Lewis made four straight birdies and eight overall to shoot a 6-under 65 on Saturday and join a group of four players atop the leaderboard at 10 under after the second round of the LPGA NW Arkansas Championship. Lewis, the world’s No. 2 player, earned an unofficial win at the rain-shortened event as an amateur in 2007. She is the local favorite this week, having played collegiately at Arkansas. Chie Arimura and Beatriz Recari both equaled Lewis’ 65 and are tied entering the final round with So Yeon Ryu. STADLER GRABS OUTRIGHT LEAD AFTER 7-UNDER 65

GLENVIEW, Ill. — Craig Stadler grabbed the outright lead at the Encompass Championship on Saturday, birdieing three of the four par-5s in a 7-under 65 Saturday that put him two shots ahead of Bob Tway and Jeff Sluman. Stadler, who had a share of the overnight lead, shot 4-under 32 on his inward nine to finish the second round at 12-under 132 at North Shore Country Club. Tway also shot a 65 and Sluman had

SUMTER from Page B1 three innings and had only two runners reach third base — with Sumter’s lone run coming on a wild pitch in the third. “We struggled because he was a very good arm,” Johnson said. “He’s going to UNC Pembroke and he overmatched us. He had three pitches he threw for strikes — fastball, curveball, changeup — and he was just really good. “He limited what we were able to do all game.” Biggs’ 3-pitch arsenal and ability to adjust in-game is what sets him apart, Post 36 head coach Chad Loflin said. “Hitters can’t really focus on one pitch when he’s in a groove and getting all three over for strikes,” Loflin said. “That’s kind of what he did tonight. He found his groove early on and made some adjustments after a little

wildness and was really strong the entire game.” Kernersville’s offense gave Biggs all the support he needed in the third inning. A 1-out walk — one of six issued by Sumter pitchers — followed by a double put runners on second and third. Shane Billings drove home the first run with an RBI single and Jamison Nagle delivered the big blow two batters later with a 2-run single to make it 3-0 in favor of Post 36. The P-15’s got a run back in the bottom of the inning when Kendall Pack led off with an infield single and eventually scored with two outs thanks to two wild pitches by Biggs, his only mistakes of the night. From there, Biggs shut down Sumter and Kernersville was able to tack on more runs. Two more walks in the fifth eventually came

SINGLETON from Page B1 him from making a jump into the starting lineup,” Judge said. Maintaining conditioning and learning the plays were difficult. “I felt like I was underprepared and wasn’t ready,” Singleton said. “It was me, and not knowing everything I need to know,” he said. “It’s a way different system. It’s a lot more complicated. In high school you don’t really have to know the offense and defense. (Here) you have to know what both sides of the ball are doing.” Judge said Singleton devoted time during the off-season to master the triple option, in which the fullback is the primary ball carrier. “His big thing was having confidence in himself to do the things he needs,” he said. “It’s a tough offense to play. There’s a lot of nuances, especially at the fullback position.” The team will have four fullbacks travel, the coach said, and Singleton is listed third on the

a 66 that included eight birdies and two bogeys. ALLMENDINGER WINS WISCONSIN NATIONWIDE RACE

The 6-foot Singleton is listed at 204 pounds, the second lightest of the fullbacks. “He’s not a huge kid,” Judge said, “but he’s very strong and very physical. He’s done a nice job as an inside runner.” Singleton also will be on all four special teams units, he said. “He’s an athletic kid that can run, hit, tackle and block,” Judge said. “We need a guy like Quinton to step up on special teams. The more you can do on Saturday, the more you’ll be on the bus.” Camp begins in early August, said Singleton, who will be commissioned as an officer after graduation. He has until his senior year to decide which branch he prefers, he said, noting that he will be either an ensign in the Navy or a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps.

Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Andrelton Simmons slides safely back to first as Milwaukeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Juan Francisco (21) canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle a throw during the ninth inning of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game in Milwaukee. The Brewers shut out the Braves for the second straight game in a row, both times by a 2-0 score.

Brewers blank Braves 2-0 again Milwaukeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rodriguez earns 300th career save MILWAUKEE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two months ago, Francisco Rodriguez was out of baseball, hoping for a chance to get back to the major leagues. Given another opportunity by the Brewers in May, Rodriguez has made it pay off. He converted his sixth straight save Saturday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the 300th of his career â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to help Milwaukee beat Atlanta Braves 2-0 for RODRIGUEZ the second straight day. Rodriguez went 2-7 with a 4.38 ERA during the 2012 season and was released by the Brewers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people thought that I was done, that I had retired,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People forgot that I was just

31- years-old. In my career, just last year was a really bad year. I know what I am capable of doing.â&#x20AC;? Rodriguez gave up one of the Bravesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; four hits in becoming the 25th closer to reach the 300-save milestone. He was aided by a barehanded pickup and throw by shortstop Jean Segura to get leadoff hitter Jordan Shafer. Andrelton Simmons then singled, but Rodriguez got Jason Heyward to line out and Freddie Freeman struck out. After the strikeout, Rodriguez pumped his fist and pointed to the sky. Rodriguez, who began the season out of baseball, was signed by Milwaukee May 16. He has converted all six of his save opportunities and has not been scored upon in 15 of his 16 appearances.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels great,â&#x20AC;? Rodriguez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have no idea how happy and excited I am. I have to continue working hard and hopefully play for many years to come.â&#x20AC;? Rodriguez said Seguraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play to start the ninth inning was key to his success on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was huge, especially with the score just 2-0,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I can go out there and attack them and put them away. That play definitely changed the whole inning.â&#x20AC;? Donovan Hand, making his first big league start, allowed only two hits in 4 2-3 innings for Milwaukee. He struck out three and walked one in helping extend Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoreless streak to 24 innings. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Hand did a great job for his first start.

UCLA beats UNC 4-1, advances to CWS finals BY ERIC OLSON The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; UCLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s route to the College World Series finals has been nothing if not adventurous. The Bruins, who have been winning in Omaha despite a scuffling offense, got a two-run double from Pat Valaika to build a cushion, and then record-setting closer David Berg survived a rocky ninth inning to finish a 4-1 victory over top-seeded North Carolina on Friday night. The Bruins (47-17)

will begin the best-ofthree finals Monday against Mississippi State, which eliminated Oregon State with a 4-1 win in the afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of our team, but we still havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accomplished what we came to do,â&#x20AC;? UCLA coach John Savage said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On to the next round.â&#x20AC;? Savage, no doubt, is relieved to advance. The Tar Heels (59-12) twice loaded the bases in the ninth against Berg but came away with only one run, with the game ending on Landon Lassiterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flyout to center.

CWS from Page B1 North Carolina with a 4-1 win on Friday night. The Bulldogs got a three-run homer from Hunter Renfroe and defeated Oregon State 4-1 in the afternoon. Mississippi State beat Oregon State twice in bracket play â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a fact that did not go unnoticed by Bruins coach John Savage. Oregon State won two of three against the Bruins in Los Angeles while winning the Pac-12 championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To beat Oregon State, we know how good Oregon State is. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good,â&#x20AC;? Savage said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And to do what they did against them twice, it goes to show that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little better than them. So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to respect the game. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to respect the opponent. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to respect the next two days in terms of preparation, getting ourselves ready and do what we do.â&#x20AC;?

lina in 2010. Mississippi State (51-18) is in the finals for the first time. Each team will be playing for its first national championship in baseball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know it sounds crazy, but our kids just think something good is going to happen and, by the way, our coaches do, too,â&#x20AC;? Bulldogs coach John Cohen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think these guys are on a little bit of a roll for sure.â&#x20AC;? The Pac-12â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arizona beat the SECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South Carolina to win the national title a year ago. Teams from the Pac-12 and SEC have faced off in the finals three of the last four years. UCLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s star closer David Berg wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t his usual dominant self in the Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first two wins in Omaha, and he really struggled Friday against the Tar Heels. Carolina loaded the bases twice against Berg but came away with only one run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been pushed,â&#x20AC;? Savage said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But come on, you get run out there as much as he does, I mean, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to go 1-2-3,

1-2-3. Things are going to happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the major reasons why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here. He can screw up every now and then, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK.â&#x20AC;? The elimination of North Carolina, which set a school record for wins, means the Atlantic Coast Conference will go without a national title in baseball again. The last ACC team to win the championship was Wake Forest in 1955. And the top seed hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won the College World Series since Miami in 1999. Both starters went six innings, with the Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Grant Watson (9-3) allowing four hits and Kent Emanuel (11-5) giving up five singles and striking out seven. UCLA opened the CWS with 2-1 victories over LSU and North Carolina State. The Bruins, with eight total runs, matched 1976 Eastern Michigan for fewest by a team in the metal-bat era that won its first three CWS games. The Bruins scored single runs in the second and sixth innings and made it 4-0 in the seventh on Pat Valaikaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s double.

but essentially, I like to sit back and throw it around.â&#x20AC;? The college football game everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talking about during these slower offseason months is Georgia at Clemson, a Saturday night showdown Aug. 31 at Death Valley which many believe could yield a national championship contender. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be an electrifying feeling, man.

10 THINGS TO KNOW FOR WIMBLEDON BY HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press

pion Williams if she’s healthy. 3. FEDERER’S BID FOR 8

1. SERENA WILLIAMS’ WINNING STREAK

Hard to imagine anyone ever having been a bigger favorite to win a Grand Slam title than No. 1-ranked Serena Williams is at Wimbledon this year. She comes in as the defending champion; she’s on a 31-match winning streak, the longest single-season run in women’s tennis since her older sister won 35 in a row in 2000; she’s 74-3 since the start of Wimbledon a year ago. Williams has claimed three of the last four major titles to raise her career total to 16 — two shy of Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova. 2. WHO CAN CHALLENGE WILLIAMS?

There are, to be sure, other women capable of walking away with the trophy from the All England Club, starting with Maria Sharapova, who won the title in 2004 by beating — you guessed it — Williams in the final. But although Sharapova put up a fight in this year’s French Open final against Williams, she really didn’t represent much of a hurdle and has lost the last 13 times they’ve played. Petra Kvitova, the 2011 champion, seems to have the grass game figured out; No. 2-ranked Victoria Azarenka is a two-time semifinalist; Agnieszka Radwanska and Marion Bartoli have been the runnerup. Still, hard to imagine any of them beating five-time cham-

Until this year’s French Open, no man had won eight titles at the same Grand Slam tournament. Rafael Nadal got No. 8 in Paris, and now Roger Federer can try to match that accomplishment at Wimbledon. Federer is the defending champion, and he’s still as good as it gets on grass; he finally ended a 10-month title drought by winning a tuneup tournament on the surface at Halle, Germany. Wimbledon is the major tournament that people figure he’s most likely to win if he’s going to add to his record total of 17 Grand Slam titles. 4. MURRAY AND 1936

Andy Murray is no doubt tired of hearing the name “Fred Perry” and the year “1936” — and we all will hear those words over and over again, so long as he keeps winning matches during the fortnight. Murray once again will try to give Britain its first male champion at Wimbledon since, well, you-know-who in you-knowwhen. A year ago, Murray became the first British man to even reach the final since Bunny Austin in 1938, then lost to Federer in four sets. Then Murray won the Olympic singles gold medal at the All England Club, beating Federer, of all people, in the final. And in September, at the U.S. Open, Murray became the first British man in 76 years to win any

Grand Slam singles title. He pulled out of the French Open with a back issue, but won the grass title at Queen’s Club, so all appears fine. 5. THE USUAL SUSPECTS

Nadal and No. 1-ranked Novak Djokovic have combined to win 11 of the most recent 13 Grand Slam titles. Those two plus Federer have collected 31 of the past 33, and when you add in Murray (who won one of the other two), that quartet sure seems likely to produce this year’s champion at the All England Club. Djokovic won Wimbledon in 2011, and Nadal has two titles plus three runner-up finishes; neither played a tuneup tournament on grass, but that might not matter. Will be worth watching how Nadal, who’s seeded only fifth, fares a year after his surprising secondround loss to Lukas Rosol, who was ranked 100th at the time. 6. THE “OTHER” GUYS

There are other men capable of making deep runs and maybe even pulling off a significant upset in the second week — Grand Slam runners-up JoWilfried Tsonga and Tomas Berdych, 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro, and good servers Marin Cilic and Milos Raonic all come to mind — but really, who are we kidding here? 7. NO MORE RODDICK

For years, Andy Roddick showed up at the All England Club with his rat-a-tat serve

and big forehand and wiseacre attitude and outplayed pretty much everyone except Federer. And that meant Roddick came close as can be, but never won Wimbledon, losing to Federer in three finals, including a 16-14 fifth set in 2009. With Roddick retired and off to a TV career — perfect fit, right? — the question becomes whether any U.S. man can stick around for Week 2. Because it still could be a while before the end of the decade-and-counting wait for an American man to win a Grand Slam title for the first time since Roddick at the 2003 U.S. Open. After all the angst about clay, grass is the type of speedy surface that’s supposed to reward the typical American style of play; big servers Sam Querrey and John Isner (Mr. 70-68) will see if it does this year. 8. LIKE A FINE WINE

Tennis’ older set is doing just fine, thank you. Whether it’s the 31-year-old Williams (the oldest No. 1 in WTA rankings history) or the 31-year-old David Ferrer (at the French Open, became the oldest firsttime Grand Slam finalist since 1973) or the 35-year-old Tommy Haas (the oldest quarterfinalist at Roland Garros since 1971), age is suddenly nothing but a number. There are 12 players who are at least 30 ranked in the WTA’s top 100; 15 years ago, there were only three. Last year, Federer became the first thirtysomething

man to win Wimbledon since Arthur Ashe in 1975. Federer turns 32 this August. 9. POUND FOR POUND

All of those face-to-face lobbying efforts by the top men in the sport are paying off in a big way at the Grand Slam tournaments. The total prize money on offer at Wimbledon is jumping about 40 percent from 2012 to 2013, going from 16.1 million pounds (about $25 million) to 22.6 million pounds (about $35.5 million). And the men’s and women’s singles champions will each earn 1.6 million pounds (about $2.5 million) this time, rising from 1.15 million pounds (about $1.8 million) last year. 10. RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY

Weather and forecasts are always popular conversation topics in England, and that only increases during the tournament known simply as “The Championships.” While long-range predictions are for a dry first week this year, even if rain does arrive, the retractable roof on Centre Court allows for play — and there are plans to add a movable cover for Court 1 by 2019. If the roof on the main stadium is used this year, it surely will reprise the debates of 2012, when there was much discussion about altered playing conditions indoors for Nadal’s loss to Rosol, and Federer’s victory over Murray.

have a caution at the end, you can lose a lot.” It was McMurray’s ninth career Sprint Cup pole, but first of the year. He also won the pole at Sonoma in 2007. Ambrose wound up second with a lap at 94.924 in NASCAR’s first use of the group qualifying format. Both Ambrose and McMurray were together in the final group, and Ambrose initially had the pole position. But McMurray snatched it away, and Ambrose made a second attempt to grab it back but came up just short. “The motor quit running coming to the green flag, so I lost all of my momentum coming to the green flag,” Ambrose said. “I thought about just bailing out of that lap and trying to roll around for a second lap, but I wasn’t sure about engine temperatures and the tires go away so fast. I didn’t know if I had already stressed them out and if I could have made up time, so I just went for it.” It’s not the first engine issue Ambrose has had at Sonoma: He was dominating the race in 2010 and leading under caution when he turned his engine off and lost the race. So he was furious when an engine problem spoiled what he thought would be a pole-winning run for Sunday’s race. “I pretty much lost my mind there and was really mad and just had to get my composure back to finish the lap off,” he said. “It was good enough for the front row, so I’m proud of that but disappointed obviously that we didn’t get the pole position.” Carl Edwards qualified third and was followed by teammate Greg Biffle as Ford drivers took three of the first four spots. Although it was Edwards’ best qualifying effort at Sonoma, he had thought the new format meant he’d get more laps in and have a shot at the pole. “The qualifying format was supposed to be easier on the drivers because we were supposed to get a couple of laps, but my crew chief went ahead and taped the grille off and said that we’d just get one lap, so I was really happy with the lap,” Edwards said. “I made a couple of little mistakes. I think I could have done better, but, still, it’s the best position I’ve had starting here and to be anywhere near Marcos Ambrose in qualifying at a road race is an honor for me.” Defending race winner Clint Bowyer qualified fifth and was followed by Matt Kenseth, Kurt Busch and Joey Logano. Kyle Busch was ninth, and Jeff Gordon rounded out the top 10.

BY HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press LONDON — Maria Sharapova took quite a shot at Serena Williams — and it was nowhere near a tennis court. At her pre-Wimbledon news conference Saturday, Sharapova was asked about a recent Rolling Stone article where the author surmised that critical comments directed at an unnamed SHARAPOVA player by Williams were referring to Sharapova. “At the end of the day, we have a tremendous amount of respect for what we do on S. WILLIAMS the court. I just think she should be talking about her accomplishments, her achievements, rather than everything else that’s just getting attention and controversy,” Sharapova said. “If she wants to talk about something personal, maybe she should talk about her relationship and her boyfriend that was married and is getting a divorce and has kids,” Sharapova continued. “Talk about other things,

but not draw attention to other things. She has so much in her life, many positives, and I think that’s what it should be about.” Williams has been linked to coach Patrick Mouratoglou, but neither has confirmed their relationship extends beyond the court. When Mouratoglou was asked about the topic at the French Open this month, he smiled and replied: “Sorry. I don’t understand the question.” According to the Rolling Stone story, posted online Tuesday, Williams spoke about what the reporter described as “a topfive player who is now in love.” Williams is quoted as saying: “She begins every interview with ‘I’m so happy. I’m so lucky’ — it’s so boring. She’s still not going to be invited to the cool parties. And, hey, if she wants to be with the guy with a black heart, go for it.” That is followed by these words in parentheses from the author of the piece, Stephen Rodrick: “An educated guess is she’s talking about Sharapova, who is now dating Grigor Dimitrov, one of Serena’s rumored exes.” Sharapova beat Williams in the 2004 Wimbledon final. But Williams has won their past 13 matches in a row, including in

the French Open final two weeks ago. At Wimbledon, where play begins Monday, Williams is the defending champion and seeded No. 1. Sharapova is seeded No. 3. They only could face each other in the final. Williams is scheduled to hold a pre-tournament news conference at Wimbledon on Sunday. The Rolling Stone article, which was about 4,000 words, drew widespread attention mostly for a one-paragraph reference to the Steubenville rape case. Williams is quoted as saying the teenage victim “shouldn’t have put herself in that position.” Two players from the Steubenville, Ohio, high school football team were convicted in March of raping a drunken 16-year-old girl; one of the boys was ordered to serve an additional year for photographing the girl naked. The case gained widespread attention in part because of the callousness with which other students used social media to gossip about it. A day after the story was posted, Williams issued a statement in which she said she was “reaching out to the girl’s family to let her know that I am deeply sorry for what was written.”

Tour de France: Sporting fact or doping fiction? BY JOHN LEICESTER The Associated Press PARIS — Ahead of its 100th running starting next Saturday, the Tour de France remains a fantastic idea. Asking riders to pedal around Western Europe’s largest country and up and down some of its tallest mountains for three weeks is still zany and whimsical enough to be interesting. But is the Tour still worth taking seriously as a sports event? The fall of Lance Armstrong in the past year, along with other dopers who ruined the credibility of cycling and its showcase race, has opened that question to debate like never before. From the outset in 1903, when journalist Geo Lefevre and his editor Henri Desgrange, hatched the idea of an endurance race around France to boost sales of their newspaper, L’Auto, the Tour has always been part-publicity stunt, partgenuine sporting contest. Then, as now, it sucked in spectators with the theater both gruesome and inspiring of men made to suffer on bicycles.

And even now, at the sport’s nadir, the Tour’s essential charms to fans and sponsors remain the same: roads, mountains, the beauty of France and men willing to push themselves to extremes. The timing alone — in July when much of France is either vacationing or thinking about it — makes it more than likely that the Tour will be still be around for its 200th edition. The competition is always colorful if not always believable, a fun excuse for sleepy villages to come alive and a free summer spectacle for holidaymakers. The millions of people who line the route largely don’t seem to care how many riders are pumped up on banned drugs and blood transfusions. Just as long as they see the spandex-clad racers zoom by and get a good picnic spot and freebies from sponsors, whose floats precede the riders, tossing out sweets, cheap sunhats and bitesize packs of cured sausage. Tour spectators, surveys suggest, make a day of it, often coming in groups and spending six or more hours by the side

Timeout, NFL; back to work in late July BY BARRY WILNER The Associated Press NEW YORK — Timeout, NFL. With minicamps done, OTAs out of the way, the NFL goes into hibernation just as the temperature begins to soar across the nation. Sure, there are still some big-name free agents looking for deals — Richard Seymour, John Abraham, Dallas Clark among them — and draft picks to sign. But with no lockouts or bounty scandals to deal with, maybe the 32 teams actually will take a month off until training camps open. Then this country’s obsession with pro football will kick off again. What do players, coaches, general managers and front office personnel do during the break? Some, especially those in charge of game plans, strategy, managing the salary cap and upgrading the roster, never really rest. There’s always the thought that someone else is busy somewhere tinkering and retooling, even when they are supposed to be vacationing. “We set the bar high, our owner sets the bar high,” Colts GM Ryan Grigson says. “We expect greatness and I feel like any time you take your nose off

the grindstone or you stop and smell the roses, it’s not far after that that you’re out of this league. That’s the mindset. It’s a blue-collar mindset. How can we tell the players to adhere to that type of thinking and way of life if we’re not doing it at the top? So that’s how we do it.” Whatever Grigson and his staff did in 2012 certainly worked, as the Colts climbed from the bottom of the league — which was worth the top draft pick, Andrew Luck — to a

wild-card playoff berth. What they have done now is remind the players to remain dedicated, even while lounging on a Caribbean beach or touring the Vatican or just hanging out on the family estate. “You got to stay in the mental part,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano says. “You got to stay in the physical part. You can’t just stop. As coaches and as players, if you get totally away from it, you’re going to come back and you’re going to be lost.

NFL rookies already might have experienced sensory overload while digesting playbooks that make “War and Peace” look like a comic strip. Now, VINCENT they’re about to receive what league vice president Troy Vincent calls “tools to succeed and to sustain themselves during their playing experience.” But, Vincent insists, the information will be presented in a simplified, concise manner. All 254 players drafted in April have been invited to the Cleveland area for the NFL Rookie Symposium, which runs from Sunday through Wednesday this week for AFC choices, and WednesdaySaturday for NFC picks. Vincent, a star defensive back for 15 seasons and now the NFL’s senior vice president of player en-

gagement, believes the series of seminars, one-onone sessions, panel discussions and frank conversation is essential in making the transition to the professional life. “It was too much information we were giving them in the past, way too much,” Vincent said. “At that particular time, when they left the symposium in the past, they were a couple weeks away from training camp and they were going through information overload. We’ve had to find creative ways to get our message out, tally what we learn from each drafted rookie class and think how we can become more accessible and visible and build our credibility.” One way of doing that is by bringing in veteran and retired players to tell their war stories. This year, that also includes two players who have had run-ins with legal issues: Adam “Pacman” Jones, now with the Bengals, and Terry “Tank” Johnson.

Catch of the day: Great weather

afield & afloat

ack in 1938, my grandfather joined a fishing club in the Wateree Swamp and the membership has been handed down, father to son ever since then. The membership is in my name now, but in five to six years will probably pass on to my son, Robert. We just called it “the swamp.” Since the very first trip with Pop, I’ve absolutely loved the swamp. The fishing is generally fantastic and the solitude beyond what you can find anywhere else in the tri-county area. It is a very, very special place to me. This year has been somewhat of Earle WOODWARD a blur, and for some reason I cannot account for where all the days have gone. However, it is now the latter part of June and I had not made the first trip to the swamp all year. Now I know that with all the recent rains, the likelihood of the water being the proper depth to fish was slim, but a man’s gotta do… Anyway, I called my running buddy, A.D. Allbritton, and we set up a time to go to the swamp. I had not seen A.D. since Pop’s funeral, about six weeks ago, and in that time he had decided to buzz all of his hair off. Cooler, yes, but hey, he wasn’t pretty to start with and this just put the icing on the cake. We climbed into the truck and off we went. The club is on the back side of Manchester Forest and as we worked our way through the woods, one of the first things we noticed was an area that had been logged and a little farther on down the road, anoth-

er area stripped of trees. I know that the state forest is there to grow timber for harvest and produce pine straw, but somehow it felt like I had been violated. Part of the beauty of the swamp was the tree-lined drive into it and now parts of that wonderful drive had an ugly clear cut on it. I do realize that timber harvest is great for benefiting wildlife, but it’s just so ugly for four to five years. Finally we reached our goal and sure enough the water was extremely high and running more like a mountain river than a slowly-flowing black water swamp. It was even too high to be able to get the boat in and go for a boat ride. Never a pair to be beaten, we simply turned the truck around and headed to Pack’s Landing about 30 minutes away. The new plan was to ease over to the far side of the lake to the area that had produced some shellcrackers for us in the spring and toss beetle spins at them. The closer we got to the far side, the muddier the water got and by the time we arrived, well, I was pretty sure it was too muddy to be productive. We began casting and working our way through the trees beating the structure to death and not getting so much as a nudge, much less a bite. An alligator of about six feet slid off of a log and disappeared under the surface. After an hour, we worked our way back to the Pack’s side of the lake and began working some shoreline there. The water was high and flowing, but it was black and fairly clear. It looked good. Same result: no fish. I had been sitting in the front

seat of the boat, casting until my arm was about to fall off and really wasn’t paying any attention to A.D. in the rear. All of a sudden it dawned on me that A.D. had not been casting for some time. He proclaimed that he was just enjoying the day, and last Thursday was indeed a beautiful day. When I started catching fish, he’d start fishing too. We started fishing about 5:45 and when I next looked at my watch it was 7:45; we had been fishing for two hours and had not had a single bite. Unbelievable! It is a rare day when a bream won’t bite a beetle-spin. I was beginning to think that I was going to go home fishless, skunked if you will. As the sun settled behind the trees on the far side of the lake, I cast the lure into a small clump of floating heart and the lure got hammered, at last! The fish and I went back and forth, but in the end I hoisted the salad platesized shellcracker over the side of the boat, slipped the hook from his lip and slipped him back into the black waters. No need to keep one fish. A.D. began to cast. By 8:15 we had not caught another fish, so the rods were put up and we tooled back to the landing using only the trolling motor, enjoying the beautiful sunset and evening as we went. It was one of those days when the fish just didn’t bite, but was a successful day anyway. We had a great visit and the weather was fantastic, especially since the weather for the last month or so has been so awful. Even if I knew I wouldn’t catch any fish, I’d still do it again. There’s plenty of summer left to fish the swamp, and with a couple of dry weeks the waters will fall and the fishing will be great. Looking forward to it!

FISHING REPORT Santee Cooper System Catfish: Good. Day time drift fishing has produced some nice blue cats in the early part of the day. Cut white perch has been the bait of choice, and most fish have been caught in less than 30 feet of water. Bream: Good to very good. Bream will come back onto their beds at the full moon, but for now they can be found scattered out in 3-5 feet of water around grass, lily pads and shallow brush. Crickets are the best bait. Crappie: Fair to good. Crappie are feeding around offshore brushpiles in 7-18 feet of water in both the upper and lower lake. Largemouth bass: Fair. Fishing has slowed down with hot air and water temperatures, but persistent effort can still generate a good catch. Bass can be caught in 5-8 feet of water in both lakes around eel grass and cypress trees. .

morning around block walls on topwater lures and floating warms. Crappie: Fair. Crappie fishing has slowed down and fish have gone deep. Fish have moved into a summer pattern where they can be caught around deep brush and bridges.

Lake Monticello Catfish: Fair. Fishing for big fish is slow overall, mainly because fish are at various stages of the spawn. Scarred up males, laid-out females and females busting with eggs are typical right now. Some of the best reports have been from anglers anchored around mussel beds in 5-25 feet of water. Post-spawn fish typically like to feed on mussels because they provide an easy meal for recovering fish. Using small pieces of cut bait about the size of a mussel is a good option.

Lake Murray

Lake Russell

Striped Bass: Very good. Early in the morning, fish are being caught shallow around shoal markers on topwater lures. Later in the day fish are being caught from Bomb Island down to the dam. Catfish: Good. Target points and humps that will allow you to cover a wide range of depths. Cut herring, shrimp, and stink bait are the best baits. Bream: Very good. Fish are biting well off points in 4-10 feet of water. Crappie: Good to very good. Fish are suspended about 8-12 feet down over the brush, so use a trolling motor to stay over the brush and present jigs and minnows vertically. Largemouth Bass: Fair. The most productive range has been 10-14 feet, and fish are being found around rocks humps and points.

Catfish: Good. Catfish are being caught on cut herring fished 2-3 feet below floats around riprap near bridges. Striped bass: Fair. The best striped bass fishing is coming between the Highway 72 Bridge and the dam. Black Bass: Good to very good. Fish are holding about 15 feet deep over 50 feet of water and they will take a live threadfin shad or herring, or come up to eat a topwater bait like a Sammie.

Lake Thurmond Crappie: Good. Most fish are being caught 16 feet deep over 20-25 feet of water around brush piles and trees. Black bass: Slow. Bass fishing has gotten tough again on Clarks Hill. The best fishing is on the bottom over humps in 15-20 feet of water.

Lake Wateree

Lake Wylie

Largemouth Bass: Good. Some residual fish can still be found shallow. Other fish have moved into a summer pattern and can be caught around offshore structure on shakey head worms, deep running crankbaits, and jigs, or off deep docks. Crappie: Fair to good. For now fish are scattered across the whole lake on the outsides of points. Catfish: Good. Fish are returning to the flats where lots of eating size blue cats from 2-10 pounds can be found.

Lake Greenwood

Largemouth Bass: Good. Some residual fish can still be found shallow. Other fish have moved into a summer pattern and can be caught around offshore structure. Crappie: Fair to good. For now fish are scattered across the whole lake on the outsides of points. Some fish are suspended over the brush, and some are down the water column in the thick of the wood. Catfish: Good. Fish are returning to the flats where lots of eating size blue cats from 2-10 pounds can be found.

Bream: Very good. Bream can be found spawning in the backs of coves, pockets and other protected areas with sandy bottoms. Catfish: Good. Anchoring on humps and points has been productive for catching channel catfish in the 2-6 pound range. Largemouth Bass: Fair. The fish remain unsettled, and it appears that they are in a transition between a late spring and a summer pattern. Fish can be caught first thing in the

Trout: Good. Fish at the intakes early in the morning and pulling spoons. As the sun rises moves out to the main lake and fish both spoons and live shiners. Black Bass: Fair. Schools of post-spawn fish are very visible around secondary and some primary points. They are feeding on minnows and chasing bream, but getting them to hit a lure can be difficult.

The Coming Street Cemetery boundary wall is severely deteriorated and cracking in many places. DAR grant funding will support restoration and preservation.

DAR helps restore cemetery BY IVY MOORE ivym@theitem.com

he oldest surviving Jewish cemetery in the South has suffered damage from time, weather, an earthquake, tree roots, and vandalism since it was acquired 259 years ago. Many headstones are broken, several are missing, and there is other damage, as well. Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim, Holy Congregation House of God (KKBE) has undertaken a restoration project, but much work remains to be done on its cemetery. Along with many other notable Charlestonians, at least 11 veterans of the American Revolution lie in the Coming Street Cemetery in Charleston. Now, thanks largely to the sponsorship of Sumter’s Home Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), the National Society DAR has announced that it will donate $10,000 to KKBE for the Coming Street Cemetery Restoration project. Susan Saunders, regent of Sumter’s Home Chapter, said the project was brought to her attention by Anita Rosefield Rosenberg, a member of Sumter’s Home who now lives in Charleston. Rosenberg is the chairwoman of the preservation project. “She mentioned that she was working to raise funds,” Saunders said, “and I remembered that National DAR awards grants for just such projects. “The purpose of this grants program is to give financial support to projects in local communities that exemplify the mission of the NSDAR to promote historic preservation, education and patriotism. To accomplish this, NSDAR will make grants available to (certain nonprofit organizations) to fund initiatives in these three mission areas.” Grant funding is available for: • Historic Preservation — Restore or refurbish an historic site, such as a community cemetery or landmark building

‘Sumter’s Home Chapter, NSDAR, is here to serve our community and excitedly anticipating our next project.’ Susan Saunders regent of Sumter’s Home Chapter

• Education — Donate books or resource materials for tutoring programs • Patriotism — Erect a granite monument to veterans in a city park. KKBE’s project falls into the first category. The congregation was organized in 1749, Jews having lived in Charleston since 1695, just 45 years after the colony’s founding. KKBE’s sanctuary, according to its website, is “the second oldest synagogue building in the United States and the oldest in continuous use.” It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1980. The pre-Revolutionary War cemetery, which comprises nearly an acre of land in the midst of one of Charleston’s residential districts and is also on the Natioanl Historic Register, will require extensive restoration; the cost to restore and preserve the cemetery with historical accuracy is beyond SEE DAR, PAGE C6

Coming Street cemetery, the oldest surviving Jewish cemetery in the South and a National Historic Landmark, is undergoing restoration, thanks in large part to a grant obtained by Sumter’s Home Chapter, National Daughters of the American Revolution. Eleven Revolutionary War veterans buried in the cemetery have been identified.

75 YEARS AGO -1938 Nov. 17-23 The state supervisor of elementary schools, following his annual inspection of schools in Sumter County, is of interest to those who have children in school. Some of his comments are purely theoretical from a layman’s point of view – but other criticisms and suggestions get down to the brass tacks of the three R’s – the framework of all education. Morris College gives thanks — “Once a year, we solicit from our friends and well wishers a contribution for the support of the work. Some of the firms of the city have always given; others have not felt the need or have been unable to give. Our thanks go out to all on this day for what they have done directly and indirectly — and we are appealing anew for a place in the heart of every citizen of Sumter who has the capacity to feel an-

R.H. Bouligny, Inc., Charlotte, $54,811.94; Wannamaker and Wells, Orangeburg, $55,287.03; and J.B. Britton, Sumter, $53,440.02. The board said the bids would be rechecked and referred to the rural electrification administration at Washington for final approval. Locals meet Yellow Jackets at night — The Sumter-Florence high school football game will be played in Florence next Wednesday night. It was announced today. The decision to play the game in Florence was

reached last night in a conference here between Coach Lee Rhame of Florence, Coach Hugh Kolb and Principal H.S. Stoddard of Sumter. Cain Stars for Clemson frosh — “Bunk” Cain, captain of Sumter High’s 1937 football team, played throughout most of the game Saturday in Charlotte between the Clemson frosh and N.C. State first-year 11. Cain was a star end for Sumter, playing in the first annual North Carolina-South Carolina All-Star game. He has been shifted to a tackle position at Clemson and is holding down the post in grand style. He started the game Saturday and played until the closing minutes. Sumter preps for Florence — The Sumter High school grid squad, which will close its regular season in Florence Wednesday night, was scheduled to go through a stiff workout this af-

ternoon and end the brief grind of preparation with a short signal drill under the lights tomorrow night. The team came through the game with Chester Friday night in fairly good shape. Robert Epps, who returned to his halfback position after an absence of several weeks because of a leg injury, was hurt again, but it is believed he will be able to play Wednesday night. Both Brown and Edens, who have also been out with injuries may be sufficiently recovered to play at least part of the game. While Sumter was losing to Chester, 12 to 7, Friday night, Florence was taking a close game from Orangeburg by a 7 to 6 score. The teams apparently are evenly matched and the game Wednesday night should be a thriller. A crowd of 5,000 is expected to turn out for the SEE YESTERYEAR, PAGE C6

LONDON (AP) — The gown Elizabeth Taylor wore at the first of her eight weddings is for sale. You’ll need at least 30,000 pounds ($47,000) to buy it and a tiny waist to wear it. Christie’s auction house is offering the seed pearl-encrusted satin dress — compete with waist-cinching built-in corset — designed by costume designer Helen Rose. Taylor was 18 when she wore the gown to marry hotel heir Conrad “Nicky” Hilton Jr. in May 1950 — an event, studio MGM boasted, attended by “more stars than there are in heaven.” The couple divorced months later and Taylor went on to wed seven more times.

The gymnasium, Jackson wing and cafeteria were initially left undisturbed; however, the Jackson Wing was recently updated and expanded. The center, which now includes an auditorium, the Sumter County Gallery of Art and the Sumter Little Theatre, was scheduled to be completed by the spring of 1986. Workers complete demolition before beginning new construction.

This photo, taken circa 1969, illustrates a view of the school before renovations. With the combining of the boys’ and girls’ high schools in 1939, the building was named Edmunds High School in honor of Dr. Samuel Henry Edmunds. The name of the building became Sumter High School in the fall of 1970.

DAR from Page C1 the means of just the Jewish community. While Sumter’s Home Chapter “loves to be handson with preservation projects such as the (Thomas) Bee Cemetery (near Charleston, which they rediscovered and had restored),” Saunders said, “the Coming Street Cemetery requires strictly professional, preservation craftsmen, so we will not be involved. We are simply extremely proud to have played a part in getting this massive undertaking off the ground.” According to KKBE and Rosenberg, “The DAR grant will be used over the next year for wall restoration and the repair of the Revolutionary War soldiers’ graves.” The work needed for the restoration varies from grave to grave, Rosenberg said, “but may involve tree root removal, extensive box tomb rebuilding, cleaning and repair with restoration mortar. The original boundary walls constructed by 18th-century craftsmen are severely compromised with significant through-wall cracks, which now present an urgent danger to the very graves they have protected for centuries. Although additional funding will be needed to completely restore and preserve the cemetery, this generous DAR grant is key to accomplishing the next phase.” She continued, “We feel

Grave stones of many of the Revolutionary War veterans in the Coming Street cemetery in Charleston have been damaged by time and weather, or worse, by vandals. A grant from the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, obtained through the sponsorship of Sumter’s Home Chapter, NSDAR, will assist in restoration of the cemetery.

Home Chapter is “always looking for projects, and not just cemeteries, in order to fulfill our goal of ‘Preserve the Past, Enhance the Present and Invest in the Future.’ Sumter’s Home Chapter has always been actively involved in helping not only our own community, but communities around the state. “The Bee Cemetery was a huge preservation project for us last year. Not only did we save it from ultimate destruction, we brought its primary resident, The Honorable Thomas Bee, first Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina after the signing of the Constitution serving under Governor Rutledge, back into the forefront along with his many contributions to our fledgling nation. Due to our diligent work, the cemetery, along with the remains of the plantation homestead, will soon be a green space and park for all to enjoy. “Sumter’s Home Chapter, NSDAR, is here to serve our community and excitedly anticipating our next project.” For more information on Kahol Kadosh Beth Elohim’s history and the Coming Street Cemetery visit the website www.kkbe.org.

Eighth march on Main Street — Paraders numbering 346, all members of the Sumter Movement, marched up the west side of Main Street from Bartlette Street to Canal Street and returned down Main on the east side last night. Police said the parade was orderly and there were no disturbances. The parade began at 6:55 p.m. when the marchers assembled at the Mt. Pisgah A.M.E. Church on Bartlette after a rally at the church. Leading the single-file marchers were the Rev. F.C. James, head of the Sumter Movement, Ralph Waldo Canty and the Rev. W.S. Randolph. The parade was over at 8:05 p.m. It was the eighth march down Main Street by the Sumter Movement and was held according to the parade permit, “to protest existing conditions.” There have been no incidents so far during the marches. Executive Club announces speakers — The Sumter Executive Club will begin its 14th year of entertainment next October, and President O.D.

Adding a custom look and feel East Coast Scooters offers sales, repairs and personalization of recreational vehicles BY ROB COTTINGHAM rcottingham@theitem.com Some people see the best of themselves when they’re going through the toughest of times. For Renna Graham and her family, 2012 was definitely a tough time. Within just a few months, she and her husband, Philip, lost one family member after another. GRAHAM Shortly after Renna’s uncle died, her aunt was diagnosed with stage-four lung cancer. Then Philip lost his father. His mother would pass on merely two months later, just before Renna’s aunt succumbed to her illness. With so much grief to deal with, Renna said she felt overwhelmed. She found her answer in God. “I prayed to the Lord, ‘I don’t want to do anything outside of the path you have set for me,’” Renna recalled. “‘I want to bring happiness to others.’” She found that outlet when a friend suggested she open a business. “So I asked him what he had in mind,” she said. “He told me that he was having a hard time finding golf cart parts in Sumter. A couple months later, I was operating my own business.” That business is East Coast Scooters located on West Liberty Street — where Pritchard’s Garage once stood — near Church’s Chicken. Though her husband is very supportive and often helps out, Renna is the sole owner of the business, which offers sales, repairs and customizing of scooters, ATVs and golf carts. The business used to be on Broad Street, but the building wasn’t a fit for what Renna had in mind. “It just didn’t seem to ac-

to call and gladly outsource the task. “It’s more about our name than our profit,” Philip said. “We want people to know they’re taken care of here, that we’ll bring their imaginations to fruition.” And that they have. Walt Driggers, who knows the Grahams very well, lost his son, Blake, to a rare amoeba-induced infection last year. When he looked into customizing his golf cart, he knew just what he wanted. And the Grahams obliged, helping Driggers add rims, a stereo, heavy-duty suspension, custom seats and many other personalizations. The most captivating feature of the cart is the paint job, which features Blake’s smiling face on the hood of the vehicle, with the words “Our Angel” painted below the portrait. “We’re very proud of this one,” Renna said. “Blake was a precious kid who will be missed by many. It was only right we put all our effort into fixing up Walt’s cart.” The In memoriam theme is one the shop encounters often, including two carts in progress now, one dedicated to Renna’s aunt and another to Philip’s dad. “We also have a Harley-Davidson cart that one of the Continental (Tire the Americas) employees wanted that

we’re working on,” Renna said. “He opted for one of our high-output motors that can push the cart to 25 miles per hour. There’s no limit.” Philip said the store and the manner in which it operates is meant to have a very friendly, Christian feel with a foundation of work ethic and dedication. “You can come in and watch them working on your cart at any time,” he said. “And we offer warranties. If it’s broken, we’ll fix it.” The sense of “family” fills and engulfs the store. Customers, workers and management all greet and speak with each other like close friends, much like the family in Philip’s favorite TV show, “Duck Dynasty.” “You’ll hear them quoting the show all day,” Renna said. “They shout ‘hey’ to each other all the time. Patrons get a real kick out of it.” It’s that laughter and kindness that makes the difference between East Coast Scooters and other, more commercial businesses around Sumter. “We have fun with each other and with customers,” Renna said. “They should feel welcome and appreciated and cared for. That’s the business model we follow.” Reach Rob Cottingham at (803) 774-1225.

By Dan Rice © 2013 FYI Television, Inc. Isolation takes on a whole new meaning when the townsfolk of Chester's Mill are suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world - trapped by unseen forces beneath an enormous, transparent cover - as small-town life rapidly disintegrates into a post-apocalyptic battle for survival "Under the Dome," a serialized drama based on Stephen King's best-selling novel, premiering Monday at 10 p.m. on CBS. The mystery series was produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television, while acclaimed director Niels Arden Oplev directs the first episode, which stars Mike Vogel, Rachel Lefevre, Natalie Martinez, Britt Robertson, Aisha Hinds and Dean Norris. "The town of Chester's Mill, trapped under a dome. Nobody can get in, nobody can get out," King breaks it down. "Niels Arden Oplev directed "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," and he's got a tremendous visual sense people's eyes are going to bug out of their heads when they see it. 'Under the Dome' is going to be an innovative, exciting, 13-week event. It's going to be riveting TV." Published in 2009, the source book is a reworking of an unfinished novel King had tried to complete in the late 1970s and then in the early 1980s. Originally titled "The Cannibals," the tome debuted on the New York Times Bestseller List at No. 1., and ended up being the longest novel King had authored since "It" in 1986. "Under the Dome" also holds the distinction of sharing its central premise with one of the more memorable plot elements of "The Simpsons Movie," which was released two years earlier in 2007. Naturally, that similarity sparked a storm of controversy on the Internet,
