Training for a riot

And while production has yet to begin at the facility on U.S. 521, both David Ray, human resources manager for the Sumter plant, and Dr. Tim Hardee, president of Central Carolina, say so far the partnership has been a successful one.

“It’s gone extremely smooth. Much more than our wildest imagination,” said Ray, who noted about 90 percent of the hourly positions filled by Continental have been people from Sumter and the surrounding counties. “The people that we have been getting have been well qualified.”

Ray added the manufacturer plans on increasing training in the coming fall months and is on pace to reach 400 employees by the end of the year. The company

BY BRADEN BUNCH bbunch@theitem.com Even before the Continental Tire the Americas plant in Sumter was officially announced in 2011, the tire manufacturer and Central Carolina Technical College entered into a symbiotic relationship.

During negotiations, part of the agreement made by local and state officials to lure Continental to the Sumter area required Central Carolina to make a commitment to provide the training necessary for the local labor force to succeed as employees at the plant. In agreeing to this, the local technical college not only embraced a new responsibility, but also created a new pathway for talented local students to successfully enter the workforce once they completed their training.

Sheriff ’s deputies work with new gear It’s always better to have and not need than to need and not have.

That’s the mentality Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis has when it comes to the myriad problems law enforcement deals with daily.

“We like to be prepared for any situation,” Dennis said.

“Every day is different, and we like to have the resources for any law enforcement need.”

Crowd control is no exception.

Riots and protests can occur at any time. Whether it’s for personal or political reasons, people around the world stage public protests, some of which become overly aggressive.

To help address that concern, Sumter County Sheriff’s Office acquired riot gear, complete with helmets, pads, batons and riot shields.

Under the guidance of Capt.

Terrance Colclough, six deputies participated in riot training Thursday at the department’s headquarters on U.S. 15. Colclough underwent military training in Anderson, Ala., to learn the ins and outs of riot control and said such insight will definitely prepare deputies for those situations.

“We need to be ready for any kind of protest,” Colclough said. “Whether it be an aggressive or passive aggressive crowd, it pays off to be prepared.”

The deputies learned various maneuvers and orders in-

Jury: Officer not guilty of breach of trust

BY ROBERT J. BAKER bbaker@theitem.com A former Sumter police officer charged with breach of trust in 2011 has been found not guilty in Sumter Municipal Court.

A six-person jury took about an hour to acquit former Sumter master patrolman Alex Williams on Monday. Williams, 30, of 111 Campbell St. in Chesterfield, was charged with breach of trust with fraudulent intent in November 2011 after a five-month investigation by the State Law Enforcement Division.

LOCAL BRIEF

Former Police Chief Patty Patterson requested that investigation in June 2011, about a month after an incident in which Williams was accused of not turning in about $1,200 a WILLIAMS Sumter man reported finding in a trash bin. Patterson told The Item during the investigation that the man found the money while rummaging for cans in a bin near Cromer’s Car Wash on Broad Street.

The man later came to the department to see

|

a report on the found cash, but police couldn’t find one.

“Williams never made the report,” Patterson said. “And he never turned the money in.”

Williams was fired shortly after SLED initiated the investigation.

Though he emailed The Item on Thursday noting his acquittal, efforts to reach him were unsuccessful.

According to an internal investigation, Williams told then-Maj. Alvin Holston, who handles day-to-day operations and internal investigations at the depart-

ment, that he had taken the money from the man. He said he was driving down Broad Street and was flagged down by a man in a parking lot who flashed his lights, Patterson said.

The man, whom Williams reportedly did not ask for identification, was able to tell the officer about how much money had been lost, so Williams handed it over.

Williams also reportedly said he had handled found property like that before.

An officer is supposed to write the finder a receipt, according to

department protocol, and then file a report.

The found item or money would then go into an evidence locker.

In cases where large sums of money are found, the department requires the evidence custodian to give the officer a receipt.

Holston initially suspended Williams for the incident on June 14, 2011. Williams was terminated 10 days later and filed a grievance with the department, alleging Holston cursed at him during interrogation and physically assaulted him while he was reaching to take his

service weapon. SLED later initiated an investigation into Williams’ allegation but found no evidence of wrongdoing.

“It was not a threat or directed language,” Patterson said. “And there was no evidence that there was a physical assault.”

Judge Lee Anna Tindal presided over Williams’ trial, in which he was represented by attorney Garryl Deas. Efforts to reach Deas also were unsuccessful Thursday.

CAROLINA DAY IN SUMTER

From staff reports

Drugs, money seized in I-95 arrest Deputies with the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office reported seizing numerous drugs, money and a handgun in a traffic stop that resulted in an arrest Wednesday.

Alvis Damon Williams, 26, of 1035 Old Pocalla Road in Sumter, was arrested on Thursday and charged with trafficking crack cocaine, second offense; possession with the intent to distribute cocaine, second offense; possession of marijuana, second offense; possession of drug paraphernalia; possession of a firearm during a violent crime; violating S.C. gun laws; and felon in possession of a firearm.

According to reports, deputies of the Interstate 95 Interdiction Team conducted a traffic stop Wednesday.

As an officer was interviewing the suspect, the odor of marijuana was detected, and a search yielded 38 grams of crack cocaine, 3 grams of marijuana, 5 grams of cocaine, a handgun, $1,635 in cash and numerous paraphernalia items, including a scale.

If convicted, Williams faces a fine of up to $58,500 or 50 years in prison, or both.

Members of the Col. Matthew Singleton Sons of the American Revolution Chapter stand around Mayor Joe McElveen as he signs a proclamation designating June 28, 2013, as “Carolina Day” in Sumter. Municipalities across the state currently celebrate Carolina Day, giving a respectable nod to one of the early victories in the Revolutionary War. On June 28, 1776, about a week before the United States declared its independence, South Carolina and North Carolina as well as many Native Americans “soundly defeated a fleet of some 50 ships of the British Navy and at least 2,500 armed British soldiers at the Battle of Sullivan’s Island” reads the proclamation. The battle took place at Fort Sullivan.

Man, 29, flown to Augusta with burns after fire

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com An early morning fire led to a man being flown to the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta with injuries to both of his legs.

Raymond Gallishaw, 29, was burned during the fire at a house in the 100 block of Pear Street on Wednesday, which also put his mother and sister out of the badly damaged home.

Firefighters responded to the scene about 8:28 a.m. with heavy smoke and flames coming out of the single-story, 1,000-foot home about a block south of Riley Park. Before the fire was brought under control, the fire caused about $60,000 worth of damage.

“It spread through the back bedroom and into the ceiling,” said Battalion Chief Brian Christmas with the Sumter Fire Department, who responded to the fire. “It was really an extensive amount of damage.”

Fire investigators determined the blaze

began at the foot of the burn victim’s bed, then spread into the attic, opening up a visible hole on the roof of the home, as well as a bathroom and down the hall into the home’s living room before firefighters arrived. A crew of 18 firefighters and Sumter police responded.

The man was transported from the scene by Sumter Emergency Medical Services with third-degree burns to the lower part of his body. He was initially taken to Tuomey Regional Medical Center and from there to Augusta for treatment, where he reportedly underwent two rounds of surgery.

Firefighters could not immediately identify what started the fire, and the blaze remained under investigation Thursday.

“We know the area of origin was in his bedroom, but the cause was undetermined pending an investigation,” Christmas said.

The man’s sister told police she was awakened by the home’s smoke detector, then went to her brother’s bedroom

and found him with his pants on fire.

She and another man at the house were able to get out of the house uninjured.

The siblings’ mother was not home at the time of the fire, and the family was assisted by the Sandhills chapter of the American Red Cross with financing and lodging.

Christmas stressed the importance of a functioning home smoke detector when discussing the blaze. The residents also reportedly credited the device with getting them out alive.

“She said, ‘Thank the Lord for that smoke detector’ because that’s what woke them up,” said the firefighter. “It may have saved their lives.”

Fire experts recommend residents change the battery in their home’s smoke detector twice a year, usually about the time clocks are set forward and back from daylight saving time. Most models include a button residents can use to test the smoke detector.

Senate overrides 46 of governor’s 81 budget vetoes

SHARRON HALEY / THE ITEM

Clarendon County firefighters fought to put out hot spots at a structure fire on Brogdon Road that began about 2:15 p.m. Thursday. The home and an addition were deemed by fire officials as a complete loss.

Fire under bed causes loss of home

BY SHARRON HALEY sharron@theitem-clarendonsun.com ALCOLU — A 6-yearold child playing with a lighter under a bed Thursday afternoon started a fire that gutted a double-wide mobile home owned by Martha Frierson at 3413 Brogdon Road in Alcolu, according to officials.

A male family member said the child told adults there was a fire under the bed. The family was able to exit the home uninjured and watched as firefighters fought to contain the blaze.

A high humidity with temperatures about 93 degrees made fighting the fire difficult. Because of the extreme

heat in and around the home, firefighters were switching out frequently to keep from overheating.

No fire hydrants were located near the home, which was on the dirt road section of Brogdon Road between the Sumter Highway and Plowden Mill Road.

The Clarendon County Fire Department used the dump tank method to fight the blaze. Tankers rotated transporting water to a dump tank at the scene of the fire. Another fire engine pulled water from the tank into the hoses the firefighters were using.

Charleston student won’t write essay assigned as punishment CHARLESTON (AP) — A former Charleston student who used the N-word in a Twitter message has refused to write a 500-word punishment essay ordered by the county school board.

Ashley Patrick has obtained a temporary restraining order against the Charleston County School Board so she does not have to write the essay, The Post and Courier of Charleston reported.

The school board had told her to present the paper this week.

The former student at the School of Arts used the word about a black classmate earlier this year.

Patrick complied with the local school district’s five-day suspension and performed 20 hours of community service and has graduated. Her lawyer said Patrick has apologized.

County School Board Vice Chairman Craig Ascue said Patrick should write the essay. “We wanted her to reflect on this whole ordeal. It’s sad that she hasn’t taken advantage

of that opportunity do what was asked,� Ascue said.

Patrick’s attorney, Dwayne Green, said the county school board does not have the authority to make a nonstudent do anything.

Ascue said the county board told Patrick to write the paper while she was still a student.

Patrick has filed a lawsuit contending the county school board did not have the au-

thority to overrule the local school board. It also said there was no proper notice on a hearing on the matter.

She wants her school records cleared of an intimidation charge, and she wants the district to reimburse her legal fees. “She’s really happy to be moving forward with her life, but she knows this still needs to be resolved,� Green said.

COLUMBIA (AP) — The South Carolina Senate ended this year’s legislative session Thursday by overriding 46 of Gov. Nikki Haley’s 81 budget vetoes, restoring money to a Union County library, a Barnwell County courthouse and other local projects.

Many of the votes were close. Seven times senators sustained a veto, then came back and voted to override it. The $100,000 to repair the courthouse in Barnwell County died twice before senators finally mustered enough votes to override the veto.

The most conservative members of the Senate bristled as several votes to get rid of local projects just barely made it over the two-thirds vote threshold needed to keep them in the state’s $6.7 billion spending plan. “There has been a lot of vote-swapping going on today,� said Sen. Tom Corbin, RTravelers Rest.

The Senate sustained eight of the governor’s vetoes Thursday.

The performance was similar to last year, when Haley also issued 81 vetoes and 48 were overturned. In Haley’s first year in 2011, she issued 34 vetoes and 25 of them were overridden.

The Senate agreed with the governor on removing a $1 million item for a visitor’s center in Orangeburg and $453,000 for lights near a tennis center on Daniel Island.

The governor’s

biggest win during the veto session came Wednesday, when the House agreed with her move to take out $1.7 million for a Department of Health and Environmental Control program that decided whether new nursing homes can open, hospitals can expand or build new medical buildings and doctors can buy equipment worth more than $600,000.

Supporters of the Certificate of Need program said the governor’s move will create chaos because the law is still there, even if it isn’t paid for.

One moment of suspense came Thursday as senators voted on the governor’s decision to veto a provision that added nearly $51 million to the budget. The governor said it was one-time money and had no business in the spending plan.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Hugh Leatherman said if the veto was sustained, he would demand that the House and Senate come back and write a whole new budget instead of letting across-theboard spending cuts go into effect. In the end, Leatherman asked to switch his yes vote to a no because he thought the measure was going to fail and wanted the chance to bring it back up again. The Florence Republican quickly realized that his vote would actually sustain the veto and switched back to yes.

Mortgage rates hit 2-year high WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. mortgage rates have suddenly jumped from near-record lows and are adding thousands of dollars to the cost of buying a home.

The average rate on the 30-year fixed loan soared this week to 4.46 percent, according to a report Thursday from mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. That’s the highest average in two years and a full point more than a month ago.

The surge in mortgage rates follows the Federal Reserve’s signal that it could slow its bond purchases later this year. A pullback by the Fed would likely send long-term interest rates even higher.

In the short run, the spike in mortgage rates might be causing more people to consider buying a home soon.

Rates are still low by historical standards, and would-be buyers would want to lock them in before they rise further.

But eventually, more expensive home loans could price some people out and slow the housing market’s momentum, which has helped drive the U.S. economy during the past year. “People are getting off the fence a little bit more or choosing to buy now instead of choosing to buy three months from now,� said Anthony Geraci, a Cleveland real estate broker-owner who said he’s seeing more sales activity lately in his market.

Senate passes immigration overhaul bill WASHINGTON (AP) — With a solemnity reserved for momentous occasions, the Senate passed historic legislation Thursday offering the priceless hope of citizenship to millions of immigrants living illegally in America’s shadows.

The bill also promises a military-style effort to secure the long-porous border with Mexico.

The bipartisan vote was 68-32 on a measure that sits atop President Obama’s second-term domestic agenda.

But the bill’s prospects are highly uncertain in the Republican-controlled House, where party leaders are jockeying for position in advance of expected action next month.

Spectators in galleries that overlook the Senate floor watched expectantly as senators voted one by one from their desks. Some onlookers erupted in chants of “Yes, we can� after Vice President Joe Biden announced the vote result.

After three weeks of debate, there was no doubt about the outcome. Fourteen Republicans joined all 52 Democrats and two independents to support the bill.

In a written statement, Obama coupled praise for the Senate’s action with a plea for resolve by supporters as the House works on the issue. “Now is the time when opponents will try their hardest to

TRINITY from Page A1 Clarendon County Coroner Hayes F. Samuels Jr. has been a member of Trinity since he was 12 years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trinity has always played a vital role in the black church,â&#x20AC;? Samuels said Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s located in the county seat, and it was a gathering place for our people back in the day.â&#x20AC;?

Samuels said he remembers Trinity hosting AME conferences long before blacks were allowed to stay in local motels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bishops would stay with us in our home,â&#x20AC;? Samuels said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anywhere else for them to stay. My mother would cook breakfast for them. We entertained them in our home while they were in Manning.â&#x20AC;?

Trinity had a large group of youths attending the church in the earlier years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a member of Trinityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boy Scouts Troop, the Flaming Arrow,â&#x20AC;? Samuels added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Ezekial Bracey and

Mr. Murdock White were our leaders.â&#x20AC;?

Samuels said he remembers Trinity as a school. And in more recent years, Trinity had a playground behind the church for the youths. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had basketball goals, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d host basketball championships for the AME churches,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wives of the church played a major role with the youth in the church.â&#x20AC;?

As a youth, he attended joint Bible schools held at the local churches, including Trinity, Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church, Mount Carmel and Mount Calvary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love that church,â&#x20AC;?

Samuels said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a big part of my life for 58 years.â&#x20AC;?

The grenade launcher isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used for grenades in these scenarios, Colclough said. Instead, it fires several different kinds of rounds to aid in controlling irritable and anxious crowds.

Rubber bullets, bean bags, flash bangs and pepper spray rounds are used in certain instances to encourage the mob to disperse.

While all-out riots are incredibly rare in Sumter, Dennis recalled the GSX protests of the

In 1869, a group of men from the church purchased a half acre

along Rigby Street for $150 for the specific purpose of providing an education for children.

The next year, the group added an acre along Rigby Street for $300. It was on this land that Trinity AME Church was built.

By 1874, Trinity had outgrown its first church. The building was demolished, and a larger church was built.

It was at this time that Trinity became affiliated with the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

In 1892, Trinity became a member of the Northeast Annual Conference, which later formed the Central Conference to which the church belongs today.

That church was destroyed by fire in 1895, and a third church was built at that location.

In 1914, a brick veneer was added.

In the past century, the church has undergone many significant changes. However, the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s balcony is furnished with the original dark oak pews, and the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large bell that

What was first a onestory gable-roof framed building with two sidedoor entrances was modernized in 1943 closing the side doors and adding front doors.

This enabled the church to add restrooms to the front of the facility.

In 1972, the church added a two-story brick educational unit with Sunday school rooms, a pastorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office upstairs and a reception area downstairs.

In 1999, the church completed a renovation and beautification project at the church changing the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior and grounds.

In 2006, through the leadership of the Rev. Bennie Colclough, the pastor at Trinity at that time, and the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trustees who included Samuels, Trinity AME Church was dedicated and a South Carolina historical marker at the front of the church was unveiled.

Nationalized gay marriage, now inevitable

W

ASHINGTON — Under the Defense of Marriage Act, the federal government does not recognize same-sex marriages even in states that have legalized it. This week, the Supreme Court ruled DOMA unconstitutional.

There are two possible grounds, distinct and in some ways contradictory, for doing so.

The curious thing about the court’s DOMA decision is that it contains both rationales.

The first is federalism. Marriage is the province of the states.

Each state decides who is married and who is not. The federal government may not intrude. It must therefore recognize gay marriage where it has been legalized.

If that were the essence of the argument, the court’s 5-4 decision would have been constitutionally conservative, neither nationalizing nor delegitimizing gay marriage. It would allow the issue to evolve over time as the people decide state by state.

It would thus be the antithesis of Roe v. Wade. That judicial fiat swept away every state abortion law that did not conform to the court’s idea of what abortion law should be. Even many liberal supporters of abortion rights have admitted that Roe was an unfortunate way to change the law. It prevented a stable social settlement of an issue, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg once said, that at the time was headed in the reform direction. The Roe ruling removed abortion from the political arena, thus disenfranchising the citizenry, tainting the resolution of the question and leaving us with 40 years of social strife.

On the face of it, the court avoided that disaster regarding same-sex marriage by adopting judicial modesty. Gay marriage?

You, Washington, have no busi-

ness meddling in state business.

To those married and living where such marriage is recognized, you must provide the normal federal spousal benefits, etc.

Otherwise, you don’t.

Good outcome. It allows popular sentiments on gay marriage to translate themselves democratically into law. Which in turn allows, in contradistinction to abortion, a political settlement of the question state by state. It may not satisfy everyone, but it does give everyone a voice in the disposition of the issue and a sense of the legitimacy of the outcome.

Except that in the DOMA decision, the court Charles added a second KRAUTHAMMER rationale: equal protection. In states with samesex marriage, Washington must give the same federal benefits to gay couples as to straight couples because to do otherwise is to discriminate against the gay couples. After all, they are equally married in their states. For Washington to discriminate against them is to deny them equal protection of the laws.

Such discrimination is nothing more than irrational animus — and therefore constitutionally inadmissible.

But notice what that second rationale does. If the argument is just federalism, the court is saying: Each state decides — and we, the court, are out of here. But if the argument is equal protection, one question is left hanging. Why should equal protection apply only in states that recognize gay marriage? Why doesn’t it apply equally — indeed, even perhaps more forcefully — to gays who want to marry in states that refuse to marry them?

If discriminating (regarding federal benefits) between a gay couple and a straight couple is prohibited in New York where gay marriage is legal — by what logic is discrimination permitted in Texas where a gay couple is prevented from marrying in the first place?

Which is exactly where the majority’s second rationale leads — nationalizing gay marriage, the way Roe nationalized abortion. This is certainly why David Boies, the lead attorney in the companion Proposition 8 case, was so jubilant when he came out onto the courthouse steps after the ruling. He understood immediately that once the court finds it unconstitutional to discriminate between gay and straight couples, nationalizing gay marriage is just one step away.

So why didn’t Justice Anthony Kennedy, the traditional swing vote who wrote the majority opinion with the court’s four liberals, take that step? Why did he avoid doing the full Roe — nationalizing the procedure in question and declaring the subject now closed? I suspect he thought it would be a bridge too far. At least for today.

But he knows that the double rationale underlying his DOMA opinion has planted the seed for going Roe next time. It was prudence, not logic, that stayed his hand. “The only thing that will ‘confine’ the court’s holding,” wrote dissenting Justice Antonin Scalia with a bit less delicacy, “is its sense of what it can get away with.” Next case — Kennedy & Co. go all the way.

here’s nothing the left (and its helpful allies in the mainstream media) enjoys more than pillorying and punishing successful people, primarily those on the right side of the political spectrum, i.e., conservatives, Republicans, southerners, plus a few politically incorrect individuals from other parts of the country.

Case in point is the recent piling on by the media of celebrity chef Paula Deen, resulting in her firing by Food Network because she admitted during a deposition hearing that she had uttered the “n” word some 30 years ago, a racial slur that’s unacceptable unless the utterer is a black rapper or hip-hopper, who gets a free pass.

Others get a free pass if they’re an elected politician with a “D” (for Democrat) after his or her name or a cardcarrying “progressive” (Translated: liberal).

No matter what the transgression may be, whether a racial slur or a sexual escapade, if the politically correct police bestows its blessing upon the culprit, all is forgiven and life goes on. Even though Paula apologized for her long-ago racial slur, that was not enough for the left — she must be destroyed along with her food empire, and that is taking place as we speak.

As for the fortunate ones with a “D” after their name, they receive a special exemption. Take Anthony Weiner — please. He is the former New York congressman who resigned in disgrace after displaying his “wares” on the Internet, resulting in him being labeled a “pervert” by many of his

outraged constituents.

That should have ended his political career. But Weiner has risen from the dead in spite of the colorful headlines in the New York tabloids ridiculing him and his easily parodied name. Weiner is now leading in polls among Democrats in the city’s mayoral primary. Coming soon: Mayor Weiner!

Only in America (and New York politics).

But lest we forget another political leader with a “D” after his name: The late Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, who became a revered wise man in his party in spite of once holding the title of “Exalted Cyclops” in the Ku Klux Klan as a young up and coming politician in his state.

But that was just a youthful indiscretion, wasn’t it? Fast forward to Byrd in 2001 when on national television he referred to “white n____” Before that, he not only voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 but attempted to filibuster it by making the claim a study proved black people’s brains are statistically smaller than white people’s. Byrd went on to become the longestserving senator in American history in addition to a stint as president pro tempore of the Senate.

So much for some history of hypocrisy and double-standards among the left. Paula Deen got caught up in that history when she used the “n” word, and for that she must walk the plank even after an apology. No forgiveness for her because she didn’t have a “D” after her name, a la Byrd and Weiner.

Is this a great country or what?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Horton proves willingness to change isn’t issue for teachers I would like to personally thank Debra Horton for writing the column in the newspaper on Wednesday, June 26. She proved her professionalism by not bashing the current administrations, but she presented a compare-and-contrast element that even a fifth-grader could understand.

She stated that racial issues were not behind her thoughts, and she simply stated an appreciation for the qualities that we should all desire in our local school leaders.

I have read many statements in this same newspaper from the cur-

|

rent district administration stating that the reason that teachers are so unhappy is because they are unwilling to change. Well, if you check the facts listed in this particular column, this teacher is obviously not afraid of change because she and her family are moving by choice after 22 years of service. So she along with many other teachers are changing their environment, and changing their employment, and changing the makeup of the schools that they are leaving behind.

It has been proven that neighborhoods and communities are seldom able to stay healthy and attractive

without good schools. Is this the change we need in Sumter? Or does Sumter need the arrogance so obvious in the responses presented in the newspaper by Dr. Cassandra Dixon, formerly of Atlanta, and NOT A RESIDENT OF SUMTER? JOHN SMITH Sumter

Surely we have other “teams” to help us now. The “face” we now present to future industries and visitors should reflect the caring community we really are. If we are to grow and prosper, successful conclusions must be met soon. What can ordinary folks do to help?

TRAINING from Page A1 has previously said it plans on beginning production at the plant in either late 2013 or early 2014.

To aid in local workforce development, Central Carolina is developing its Advanced Manufacturing Technology Training Center, to be located on Broad Street. Hardee said he expects the location to be up and running sometime in mid-2014, although people driving past the currently empty building near the corner of Bultman Drive can expect to see renovation activity sometime about August.

Until it opens, Central Carolina has been using multiple locations throughout the area — including the F.E. Dubose center in Manning — to handle the training for the tire manufacturer. However, Hardee said the school is quickly approaching capacity at these alternative locations.

“It won’t be too far until that we’ll ramp up to a number that we simply can’t accommodate with what we have now,” Hardee said.

The state Legislature included another $3.5 million for the school’s new center in their recently approved budget, giving the local college $7 million in funding dedicated to what Hardee said will ultimately be about a $10 million project. Once completed, the center will not only house the local training for the Continental plant, but also provide training locations for other area manufacturers

and house the school’s mechatronics department, as well.

“It’ll be fantastic to get it all in one location,” Ray said, pointing out that hiring locally often helps with employee retention.

And while the new center will most likely become synonymous with training for Continental positions, Hardee said it’s important for local members of the workforce thinking of seeking employment at Continental to realize that now is the time to start seeking the needed skill sets, even before the building opens.

For while residing in the area might provide a bit of an advantage for applicants, Hardee said, those potential employees are going to need to have the skill set Continental requires.

“They don’t want to have to go out of state to bring folks in, but, at the end of the day, they’re going to hire a qualified workforce,” Hardee said.

After all, applications for positions at Continental are arriving constantly, Ray said, who also praised the efforts of readySC, the division of state’s technical college system that has been handling the application process for the company.

“Without them we would just be absolutely paralyzed, because we don’t have the staff to handle the volume,” Ray said.

People looking to apply for positions at Continental can do so at the readySC website: www.readysc.org/ conti.

Cavs take UNLV’s Bennett with top pick in NBA draft

BY BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press

BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER / THE ITEM

Manning-Santee players await their names to be called during introductions for Wednesday’s game against Sumter at Riley Park. Post 68 is eyeing a strong finish in hopes of making the playoffs.

NEW YORK — Anthony Bennett became the first Canadian No. 1 overall pick, and Nerlens Noel tumbled out of the top five and right into a trade in a surprising start to an unsettled NBA draft.

One of the favorites to be taken first Thursday night, Noel fell to No. 6, where the New Orleans Pelicans took him and then dealt his rights to the Philadelphia 76ers for a package headlined

by All-Star guard Jrue Holiday, according to a person familiar with the details.

The Cleveland Cavaliers started things by

passing on centers Noel and Alex Len, who went to Phoenix at No. 5, in favor Bennett, the UNLV freshman forward who starred for Canada’s junior national teams and was the Mountain West Conference freshman of the year.

“I’m just as surprised as anyone else,” Bennett said.

There was suspense right until the end, either because the Cavs were unsure who they wanted or were trying to trade the pick. Most predictions had them taking one of the big men, with Noel largely considered the favorite for the No. 1 choice even SEE NBA, PAGE B2

Post 68 eyes playoff push

BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS jdriggers@theitem.com It was not quite the ending G.G. Cutter had wanted in his return as head coach of ManningSantee Post 68, but it was at least a CUTTER good start in some ways.

Leading 6-3 with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning against Sumter on Wednesday, Manning saw its lead slip away,

The most important of which is control over its own postseason destiny in American Legion baseball’s League CAMPBELL VIII. The Jets got good pitching, good defense and a solid offensive night up and down the lineup for a 7-3 victory

over West Columbia Post 79 – the League VIII leader entering the game.

“It was just one of those nights when everything came together,” Jets head coach Steve Campbell said. “We had good hitting, we had good defense and David Hayden pitched his best game of the season so far.”

Hayden went eight innings and struck out four while allowing three runs on 10 hits. He was taken out because of a high pitch count, SEE JETS, PAGE B2

Shaw healthy again for USC

BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press COLUMBIA — South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw has endured plenty of criticism from coach Steve Spurrier and figured he was in for more after the senior went skydiving earlier this month.

Shaw, who’s recovering from offseason surgery on his left foot, hadn’t seen Spurrier since the tandem jump and nervously approached his coach Thursday after getting called over after a workout.

“Skydiving, huh?” Spurrier said, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Shaw waiting for the hammer to fall, South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw is close to being 100 percent healthy with the “wouldn’t mind doing that myself.”

Shaw, in his best impression of the season opener against North Carolina just two months away.

Gamecocks head ball coach, recalled Spurrier saying. “So that was a relief.”

Shaw hopes to give the Gamecocks more thrills this fall at quarterback and believes he’s close to 100 percent from the injuries that bothered him much of last season.

He hurt his right, throwing shoulder in the season opener against Vanderbilt and played only two quarters the following two games. Just when he felt confident that problem was behind him, Shaw sprained his left foot at the end of the Tennessee game in late October. He played through the pain in wins over Arkansas and Wofford, but sat out the regular-season ending contest at Clemson SEE SHAW, PAGE B3

“Our first game against West Columbia, we lost 8-7 in the ninth and let a lead slip away from us,” he said. “We also lost to Orangeburg twice by 7-6 scores – once in the ninth inning and once in the 12th inning. So we’ve been competitive and in a lot of ball games.”

The Jets now have a clear shot at the fourth and final playoff spot in League VIII. Post 175, Lexington Post 7 and Columbia Northeast are all within a half game of each other for the final slot.

The good news for the Jets is that four of their final five games are against Lexington and Columbia NE. Thursday’s game against Northeast was postponed due to wet field conditions, but Dalzell-Shaw will host Columbia NE on Monday in a doubleheader beginning at 6 p.m.

“I thought everything was in the air, so I wasn’t thinking I was the No. 1 pick,” Noel said.

David Stern, booed heavily in his final draft as commissioner, added to the surprise of the moment by pausing slightly before announcing the Cavs’ pick, their first at No. 1 since taking All-Star Kyrie Irving in 2011.

Orlando passed on both of the big men, too, going with Indiana swingman Victor Oladipo with the No. 2 pick. Washington took Otto Porter Jr. with the third pick, keeping the Georgetown star in town.

Ten years after the Cavaliers selected LeBron James to start a draft that would include future NBA championship teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh

in the top five, this one lacked star power and perhaps even the promise of stardom.

Bennett, Noel and Len are all coming off injuries and couldn’t even work out for teams, but the Cavs decided Bennett’s shoulder surgery wasn’t enough cause for concern.

Len walked up to meet Stern and collect his orange Suns hat, then sat down near the stage to put on the walking boot he needs for the stress fracture of his left ankle that was discovered after Maryland’s season.

Noel finally went to New Orleans with the next pick. He didn’t seem upset at his fall down the draft board, hugging his mother and shaking hands with Kentucky coach John Calipari.

It was a good start to the night for the Hoosiers, with Cody Zeller going two places after Oladipo to the Charlotte Bobcats.

Bouchard beats 12th-seeded Ivanovic

BY HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press LONDON — About 20 minutes before playing only her fourth Grand Slam match, against a woman who won a major championship and was ranked No. 1, 19-year-old Eugenie Bouchard got a bit of news.

Instead of Wimbledon’s 1,089-seat, out-ofthe-way Court 12, the Canadian would be facing Ana Ivanovic at Centre Court, with room for nearly 15,000 spectators.

Cause for concern?

Nerves? Nah. “I was really excited.

It was kind of a big deal to me. ... It’s what everyone wants to do. So, yeah, it was a great opportunity for me,” said the 66th-ranked Bouchard, who played in the 2008 Palmetto Pro Open at Palmetto Tennis Center. “I definitely was calm and felt like I could do this. It worked out.”

Most certainly did.

Bouchard picked up the biggest victory of her nascent career on Wednesday, beating the 12th-seeded Ivanovic 6-3, 6-3 to reach the third round at the All England Club.

Bouchard is one of four PPO alums still

playing at Wimbledon.

No. 17 seed Sloane Stephens and Moncia Puig, who also played in the ‘08 PPO, have thirdround matches today along with Bouchard, while ‘09 PPO participant Alison Riske has a second-round match today.

“It’s a long way from when she was 5 years old and she started in the juniors at the local club. To me, Centre Court at Wimbledon is the temple of tennis so it was a little surreal seeing her walk out there,” said Bouchard’s mother, Julie. “I think she was calmer than I was. I was dying inside. I was like, ‘How can she even walk out there?’ But she’s been planning and working toward this for 14 years. So I’m obviously very proud.”

She attended her daughter’s news conference, as did Bouchard’s twin sister, Beatrice, and 14-year-old brother, William.

Heady stuff for Bouchard, who won the

2012 Wimbledon girls’ title at the All England Club, which gave her an opportunity to set foot in the Royal Box at Centre Court. But this time she actually was on the grass.

“It was just really cool,” Bouchard said, “being in front of those people.”

When a reporter noted that the fans at Wimbledon tend to be more muted than at some other tennis venues, Bouchard smiled

and replied: “Well, yeah.

We’re at Wimbledon. It’s classy here.”

This is her second Grand Slam tournament; she lost to Maria Sharapova in the second round at the French Open last month.

That match was in the main stadium at Roland Garros, which Bouchard said helped her deal with the unusual circumstances Wednesday.

Williams, Djokovic restore order to Wimbledon

BY MATTIAS KAREN The Associated Press LONDON — Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams restored a semblance of order to this wild Wimbledon.

A day after Roger Federer led a mass exodus of high-seeded players and favorites, the top-ranked man and woman sailed past the wave of upsets and S. WILLIAMS advanced to the third round with straight-set victories.

Djokovic defeated American qualifier Bobby DJOKOVIC Reynolds 7-6 (2), 6-3, 6-1 under the retractable roof on Centre Court. A few hours earlier, Williams dismissed 19-year-old Caroline Garcia of France 6-3, 6-2.

In fact, after Wednesday’s nonstop string of stunners,

there wasn’t a surprise to be had at the All England Club.

The highest-seeded player to lose was No. 17 Milos Raonic of Canada, and there were just two injury retirements compared with seven Wednesday.

Instead, there was the familiar sight of covers being pulled over the courts as rain came to the All England Club for the first time this week, forcing the roof to close and a number of afternoon matches to be suspended until Friday.

With Rafael Nadal and Federer knocked out in the first three days, Djokovic also faced surprisingly stiff resistance from Reynolds in the first set. However, he dominated the tiebreaker and had little trouble from there, breaking Reynolds twice in the second and third sets.

“I think the fact that the top players lost in the last few days gives enough reason for all of us to not underestimate any opponent,” Djokovic said. “Everybody, especially lower ranked players in the opening rounds,

have nothing to lose really when they go on the center stage and they come up with their best game.”

In the process, Djokovic made this the worst Wimbledon for American men in 101 years.

Reynolds’ loss means none of the 11 American men in the tournament advanced past the second round, the first time that’s happened since 1912.

There were no American men in the tournament that year, although none reached the third round in 1911 either.

Reynolds said he hadn’t realized he was playing to avoid a historic slump.

“I don’t feel like I’m carrying the U.S. flag, I’m the lone guy left,” Reynolds said. “I just happened to play the last match on today, so ... I actually wasn’t aware of it at all.”

Williams is still the favorite in the women’s draw, however, and will now go from playing an opponent 12 years her junior to facing one 11 years her senior.

head to Centre Court because second-seeded Victoria Azarenka pulled out of what was supposed to the day’s opening match there.

Thanks to her experience in Paris, Bouchard said, “I was like, ‘I’ve done this before. No big deal.’”

In eight previous Wimbledon appearances, Ivanovic only once had failed to reach the third round. But Bouchard took 12 of 13 points in one stretch to claim the first set Wednesday and go up

a break in the second.

“Was the first time I actually I saw her play, so it was obviously a little bit tough to get used to. She was tracking the ball really well,” Ivanovic said. “Eugenie is playing really well. She’s young.

She has great potential.”

There were some blips along the way, though, including when Ivanovic broke to pull even at 2-all.

“I stayed relaxed,” Bouchard said. “I had broken her a few times, so I knew I could do it again.”

Indeed, Bouchard broke right back, then again to go ahead 5-2, before failing to serve out the victory.

He returned several weeks later for the Outback Bowl against Michigan, but again came out near the end as Thompson threw the game-winning touchdown pass with 11 seconds left for a 33-28 victory.

Shaw had surgery a short time later and spent the next several weeks in hard cast and walking boot.

Shaw acknowledged it was tough to go through a season spent practicing through injuries and not feeling healthy. He did what he could, though, to help the Gamecocks to a second consecutive 11-win season — a first for South Carolina.

“It was very frustrating, difficult,” Shaw said. “But it was something my dad always taught me that you have to persevere through adversity because you don’t know when it’s going to hit you. It felt like it was hitting over and over again throughout the season with one thing after another.”

The frustrations continued the first few months this year as Shaw watched teammates go through winter workouts and spring drills that he, a senior, planned to lead. Shaw’s emotions improved in May when he was turned loose to work out and prepare for his final season.

“This is what I couldn’t wait to do,” he said.

Despite the injuries, Shaw was an effective quarterback. He threw for 1,956 yards and 17 touchdowns and rushed for 435 yards and three touchdowns to finish second on the team in that category behind Marcus Lattimore.

Gordon sends Royals past Braves 4-3 in 10 innings

BY DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Atlanta Braves were poised to put an end to some road woes in their first trip to Kansas City, having taken the opener of a two-game series and then rallying to force extra innings Wednesday night.

With runners on first and second and one out in the 10th, manager Fredi Gonzalez stuck with Gerald Laird rather than call for a pinch hitter, only to watch him ground into an inningending double play.

It was the last chance the Braves would get to win the game.

Alex Gordon drove in David Lough in the bottom half of the inning, sending the Royals spilling out of their dugout and into right field to celebrate a dramatic 4-3 victory.

“I hit the ball pretty hard. I just hit it right at them,” Laird said of his double-play ball, which Miguel Tejada fielded effortlessly at third base and then sent flinging around the diamond.

“It’s just the way it goes,” Laird said. “Tried to jump on him early and just hit it right at him.”

Gonzalez said he never wavered in his decision to stick with

Laird, who doubled in the second inning but had come up empty in his next three trips to the plate.

“You going to pinchhit for a guy who’s been in the game and he’s been hot, he’s been swinging it, for a guy who has been sitting around for three hours?” Gonzalez said.

“But again I felt really, really good about that situation with Gerald at the plate.”

Lough had entered the game the previous inning as a pinch hitter, but was still at-bat because Elliot Johnson was picked off first base to end the ninth. Lough singled off Braves reliever Alex Wood (0-2) to start the 10th and then reached second when Tejada laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt.

That set the stage for Gordon, who hit a solo home run earlier in the game. He dropped a base hit into shallow left field, allowing Lough to score easily as the Royals spilled from their dugout.

Aaron Crow (4-3) worked the 10th inning for the Royals, who had lost five of their last six, while the Braves (45-34) fell to 20-23 on the road this season.

“That’s a great team over there that’s leading its division,” said KC

manager Ned Yost, who once managed the Sumter Braves in the 1980s.

“They’ve got 45 wins and we matched them pitch for pitch. Every game we played them we competed. These kids are getting better. I think throughout the second half they will continue to do that.”

The Royals were actually in control through six innings.

Gordon ended a 159 at-bat homerless drought with his first-inning shot, the first leadoff homer of the season for the Royals. It was Gordon’s first home run

since May 9 at Baltimore.

Billy Butler added a two-out double to right, and then the big DH chugged home when Salvador Perez got just enough of the bat on a pitch from Mike Minor to hit a single to left field.

The Royals tacked on another run in the third when Gordon singled to lead off the inning. Alcides Escobar put runners on the corners with nobody out before Eric Hosmer lined into a double play, but Butler managed to bring Gordon home with a timely

single to make it 3-0.

That was all the offense until Luis Mendoza started to unravel in the seventh inning.

The Royals starter kept the Braves off balance with a mixture of fastballs and sliders, and had given up just three hits to that point.

But he’d put runners on the corners with two outs when he was lifted for left-hander Bruce Chen, who promptly served up an RBI single to pinch-hitter Reed Johnson.

Chen walked Jason Heyward to load the bases and was replaced

by right-hander Luke Hochevar, who gave up a tying two-run single to Justin Upton. Heyward was thrown out at third on the play to end the inning.

Minor allowed three runs on nine hits over six innings, while Mendoza gave up two runs on five hits over 6 2-3 innings.

Neither of them factored into the decision.

“I felt I was making good pitches again, but there’s three runs on the board,” Minor said, “and they only hit two hard balls and one of the hard hit balls was the home run.”

The game ultimately came down to the bullpens, though.

Alex Avilan and Jordan Walden breezed through the Royals lineup, the only blip coming when Mike Moustakas singled off Walden with two outs in the ninth inning. Johnson came in to pinch run and strayed too far from first base, allowing Walden to pick him off and end the inning.

Hochevar wound up going 1 1-3 innings for the Royals, who brought in star closer Greg Holland to pitch the ninth inning. He struck out the side on just 11 pitches.

“They have a very strong bullpen,” Lough said, “but we were able to get to them in that last inning.”

POST 68 from Page B1 who we can turn to late in games.”

Those are questions Cutter hoped to answer in part at Thursday’s practice as Post 68 gears up for an important stretch run that will determine if Manning is seeded third or fourth for the state playoffs, or miss out entirely.

Post 68, now 3-9 in the league, has four games remaining beginning today at home against Hartsville Post 53 at 7:30 p.m. The two teams meet again on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Jimmy White Park in Kelleytown.

Post 53 sits 1 ½ games behind Manning for the final playoff spot with a 2-11 record. Manning is also chasing Cheraw Post 23 for the third seed. Post 68 is two games behind 4-6 Cheraw with a key doubleheader between the two teams scheduled for Tuesday in Manning.

Cheraw also played an important doubleheader against Camden on Thursday.

“We’re going into it trying to win four games,” Cutter said. “Realistically, I think we need to win three of the four to earn that No. 3 seed.”

The third seed is important because the first round of the state playoffs will pit the League III champion against the fourth seed from League III – setting up another potential matchup between Manning and Sumter if Post 68 fails to gain any ground.

But for now, Cutter is simply focused on doing

what he can to get his team prepared to win the next four games.

“One game at a time,” he said. “I thought Nick (Gibbons) pitched well for us (against Sumter), and I think Blake Graham and Blake Winans will be the two likely starting candidates (today).

“But we’re focusing on defense and pitching right now. We’ve got to work on bunt plays and things like that and just really get a good grasp of what we need to do in those situations. And our pitchers have to throw strikes. We’re down a couple with travel ball, but we’ll see who can step up and pitch for us.”

Sumter is likely to see just that. The P-15’s open the tournament against Fort Pierce, Fla., today at 7:30 p.m. at Riley Park. Fort Pierce is the defending Florida state champion and one of the participants in last year’s Southeast Regional played in Sumter.

“We know about them and Texarkana, Ark., is 20-5,” Johnson said of one of Sumter’s two opponents on Saturday. “So we know there’s a lot of good quality teams here.”

Johnson hopes his squad can gain a little momentum heading into the final week of the regular season as well. The P-15’s lost both of their games in last week-

Kentucky’s Nerlens Noel (3) and Maryland’s Alex Len (25) are both possible first-round picks in the NBA draft, which takes place today in New York.

Noel, Len atop an NBA draft full of questions

BY BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press NEW YORK — Nerlens Noel is coming off a major knee injury. Alex Len is in a walking boot.

One of them could be the No. 1 pick Thursday in an NBA draft that appears short on stardom, and neither looks ready to get his career off to a running start.

“This draft is really unpredictable, a lot of guys with injuries and you don’t have any, like, LeBron James,’’ Len said Wednesday. “So it’s going to be interesting.’’

Ten years after James climbed on stage to start a draft that goes down as one of the best in recent memory, the No. 1 pick again belongs to Cleveland.

The Cavaliers won’t find anyone who can play like James on the court — if they keep the pick — and even the climbing the stage part will be a challenge for the big men who opened their college seasons against each other and are competing again now.

Noel tore the ACL in his left knee on Feb. 12, ending his lone season at Kentucky. The 6-foot-11 freshman led the nation in shot blocking and his conference in rebounding, but hasn’t been able to show the Cavaliers if his offensive game has grown.

The only basketball work he did during his visit to Cleveland was shooting some free throws. Perhaps the pants he

wore with his sports jacket and orange tie were just too tight, but Noel was walking gingerly as he exited a hotel ballroom after meeting with the media Wednesday.

“I wanted to do more. Unfortunately I got hurt, but I mean I definitely felt right before I got injured I was really coming along as a player and just really coming into my own during that part of the season,’’ Noel said. “But like I said, unfortunately I got hurt, so I wasn’t able to show as much as I wanted to.’’

Nor has Len, but that hasn’t stopped the 7-1 center from the Ukraine who spent two seasons at Maryland from climbing into the mix at No. 1.

His left foot started bothering him around February, and he found out after the season that it was a stress fracture.

He was aware he was projected as a top-10 pick before the draft combine, but may go much higher even though his visits to teams have consisted of nothing more than interviews. He no longer needs crutches but will be in the boot for perhaps two more weeks.

So, with all these injury questions, what about playing it safe and picking a healthy guy?

“I mean, probably a lot of people wish it could be that easy,’’ Kansas guard Ben McLemore said. “But it’s a process for the teams, they’ve got to see what’s available and what they really need. And like I said, this draft is up in the air and nobody knows what’s going to happen, who’s going to get drafted in which order.’’

Orlando has the No. 2 pick, followed by Washington, Charlotte and Phoenix.

McLemore, Indiana’s Victor Oladipo, Georgetown forward Otto Porter and national player of the year Trey Burke of Michigan are among the other players who will hear their names called early at Barclays Center by NBA Commissioner David Stern in his final draft.

stands out as one of the sport’s biggest upsets.

“Magic,’’ Stakhovsky said. “I couldn’t play any better today.’’

Federer’s loss ended his record streak of reaching at least the quarterfinals at 36 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments, a run that began at Wimbledon in 2004, shortly after a thirdround exit at that year’s French Open.

“It’s always a disappointment losing any match around the world, and particularly here,’’ Federer said. “I’ve had some great moments here, but also some tougher ones. Can’t have `em all. It was a tough loss today.’’

The result capped a chaotic day of injuries, walkovers, retirements and shocking results.

Third-seeded Maria Sharapova, the 2004 champion, fell to a 131stranked qualifier. No. 2 Victoria Azerenka was among the seven injury withdrawals — believed to be a Grand Slam single-day record in the Open era. Federer became the seventh former No. 1 player to exit the championships on this one day.

Only two days ago, two-time champion Rafael Nadal was bounced in the first round by 135thranked Steve Darcis.

After only three days of play, five of the top 10 seeded women and four of the top 10 men are already out of the draw.

The owner of a record 17 major titles and the defending champion, Federer hadn’t been beaten in the second round or earlier at a Slam since a first-round defeat at the 2003 French Open.

The 31-year-old Federer said he won’t “panic’’ and will work hard to come back stronger.

“I’m looking forward to what’s to come,’’ he said. “Looking forward to next year, that I can do better next year.”

Federer said the end of his quarterfinal run does not represent the end of an era.

“I still have plans to play for many more years to come,’’ he said. “It’s normal that after all of a sudden losing early after being in the quarters 36 times, people feel it’s different.”

Federer’s defeat was his earliest at the All England Club since a firstround loss in 2002 to 154th-ranked Mario Ancic. Stakhovsky is the lowest-ranked player to beat Federer at any event since then.

Most shocking:

Wednesday’s defeat came on the same grass court Federer has made his own for nearly a decade.

It ended with Stakhovsky converting on his second match point, a 13-stroke rally that finished with Federer hitting a backhand wide.

Stakhovsky fell onto his back in celebration.

He later bowed to the crowd as Federer walked off the court with a quick wave.

Federer converted only one of eight break points against Stakhovsky, who broke the Swiss star twice. The Ukrainian piled up 72 winners against 17 unforced errors, while Federer had 56 winners and 13 errors.

While few play serveand-volley these days, Stakhovsky used the tactic with great success throughout the match to keep Federer off balance.

He won 61 out of 96 points at the net.

“I’m still in disbelief,’’ Stakhovsky said. “When you play Roger Federer at Wimbledon it’s like you are playing two persons.

First you play Roger Federer, then you play his ego, and on the Centre Court of Wimbledon, where he is historical. So that’s like playing two against one.’’

Federer’s defeat was the biggest shock on a day full of shocks.

Earlier, third-seeded Sharapova, the 2004 Wimbledon champion, was stunned 6-3, 6-4 by 131st-ranked Michelle Larcher de Brito of Portugal in the second round.

Sharapova slipped and fell several times on the grass on Court 2 and received medical treatment from the trainer in the second set.

It wasn’t serious enough to force Sharapova to quit, as so many others did Wednesday either by walkover or midmatch retirements.

Among the players to drop out: Azarenka (walkover, right knee), men’s No. 6 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (retirement, left knee), John Isner (retirement, left knee) and Darcis (walkover, right shoulder).

Also out: 10th-seeded Marin Cilic (walkover, left knee); 2006 quarterfinalist Radek Stepanek (retirement, left hamstring); and Yaroslava Shvedova (walkover, right arm).

The International Tennis Federation said the seven players forced out is believed to be the most in one day at any Grand Slam event in the 45 years of the Open era.

8 PM

FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 2013

As viewers of the recently canceled “Smash” know, taking a new musical to Broadway can be as dramatic as the show itself. “Annie: It’s the Hard-Knock Life, From Script to Stage” (9 p.m., PBS, TV-G, check local listings) chronicles the difficulty of mounting a revival of a beloved musical.

Documentary filmmaker Joshua Seftel (“This American Life”) directs “Hard-Knock Life,” which captures Broadway veterans, including choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler (“In the Heights”), costume designer Susan Hilferty (“Wicked”) and set designer David Korins (“Godspell”), as they work with a young cast recruited from all over America.

The original “Annie” opened on Broadway in 1977 and ran for more than five years. It was adapted for the screen in 1982. Adults who grew up with the musical (or performed in it) can watch this with children of their own.

• Have prime-time newscasts become consolation prizes? Some weeks back, “ABC’s The Lookout,” a consumernews hour created by the “Nightline” team, began airing. It was reported to have been compensation for the network’s decision to bump “Nightline” to 12:35 a.m., when view-

ers become rather scarce.

Tonight NBC airs “Ann Curry Reports: A Face in the Crowd” (10 p.m.), a follow-up report on the recipient of a face transplant.

As those who follow morning television know, Curry was the coanchor of NBC’s “Today” from June 2011 to June 2012, before leaving the show in an emotional broadcast. Some media outlets said her time at “Today” was a failure, while others said she was never allowed to succeed. Meanwhile, the network’s handling of her transition and its affect on the popularity of “Today” has been the subject of much media speculation.

Despite the tears and controversy, Curry still has ties with NBC and receives a multimilliondollar salary to produce programs like “A Face in the Crowd.”

For reasons unclear, the special airs one year to the day after Curry’s departure from “Today.”

• Catch two episodes of “Cult” (8 p.m. and 9 p.m., CW, TV-14) tonight. A show within a show about a creepy cult based around a CW series called “Cult,” this may be the most complex and self-referential new series that nobody watched this year.

Saturday night offers a virtual bonfire of unfinished and abandoned network series.

Viewers will have a chance to catch up on “Zero Hour” and “666 Park Avenue” on ABC and “Do No Harm” on NBC. • The world’s most famous octogenarian rodent returns as the Disney Channel sneaks Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts into its schedule throughout the weekend.

Look for “No Service” (8:30 p.m., TV-G) tonight.

Tonight’s Other Highlights • Pelant returns with evil intentions on “Bones” (8 p.m., Fox, r, TV-14).

• Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway star in the brooding 2012 comic book adaptation “The Dark Knight Rises” (8 p.m., HBO).

• A telephone tip scrambles the team on “The Following” (9 p.m., Fox, r, TV-14).

• A prehistoric creature grabs Waddles the pig on the animated kids series “Gravity Falls” (9 p.m., Disney, TV-Y7).

• Ike sneaks into Cuba on family business on “Magic City” (9 p.m., Starz, TV-MA).

• Death on campus on “Blue Bloods” (10 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14).

• Stephen King fans

who can’t wait for “Under the Dome” to return on Monday can catch Kathy Bates and James Caan in the 1990 shocker “Misery” (10 p.m., Sundance).

• Celebrity chef Lidia Bastianich gets a head start on the Fourth of July on “Lidia Celebrates America: Freedom and Independence” (10 p.m., PBS, TV-G, check local listings).

• Standup comedy on “Owen Benjamin: High Five Til it Hurts” (midnight, Comedy Central).

Cult Choice Murders follow the escape of a giant cat in the 1943 shocker “The Leopard Man” (8 p.m., TCM), another stylish and innovative low-budget horror movie from the team (director Jacques Tourneur and producer Val Lewton) behind “Cat People.”
