LYNCHBURG — In the wee hours on Aug. 1, 2012, lightning struck Shiloh United Methodist Church, engulfing the building in flames in mere minutes. About 30 firefighters from four area fire stations responded to the call to save the brick-and-mortar building, but it was too late. After the smoke cleared, the devastation was painfully evident. There was nothing left. Many in the congregation were devastated, some having attended the rural church since they were young. “We were depressed,” said congregation member Elizabeth Johnson. “It SEE RESTART, PAGE A6

Man pleads guilty to auto break-ins, gets 10 years BY ROBERT J. BAKER bbaker@theitem.com Third Circuit Assistant Solicitor Darla F. Pierce asked a judge to give eight to 10 years in prison to a 34-year-old man accused of at least 15 automobile break-ins between 2010 and 2012. Third Circuit Judge R. Ferrell Cothran went with 10 after Eddie Lee Pringle, 34, plead- PRINGLE ed guilty Thursday at the Sumter County Courthouse. Pringle received five years for breaking and entering of an automobile and a consecutive five-year sentence for financial transaction card theft. Brittany L. Ford, 24, who was Pringle’s girlfriend at the time, was given five years suspended to five years’ probation for her role in the break-ins. Pierce told Cothran that the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office was able to tie Pringle to all the break-ins because of Ford’s initial statement to law enforcement. Pringle and Ford were arrested in Columbia on Jan. 12, 2012, after deputies received information that a vehicle used for one of the break-

ins was parked at an apartment complex there. “The defendants were identified, and police found cards, wallets and cellphones (from several of the break-ins), along with burglary tools,” Pierce said. “Ford gave a detailed statement, and they were able to close out the cases because of her. Law enforcement felt that Ford was not the mastermind and that she was almost like a victim herself, being pressured into helping him.” Charles Brooks, Pringle’s attorney, told Cothran he thought it would be unfair “to send (Pringle) away for 10 years and to set all these charges on him.” “Our contention has been that he’s not involved in all of these,” Brooks said. “I think that letting him apply for some type of drug court would be the best option, especially with his minimal record.” That record includes a sentence of five years in prison for forgery in 2003, and another of one year suspended to 90 days with two years’ probation for breaking and entering of an automobile and financial transaction credit card theft in 2010.

IN OTHER COURT NEWS Guilty pleas also taken this week at the courthouse included: • Ryan Patrick Barnhill, 25, of 2950 Kaempfer Circle in Sumter, pleaded guilty to felony driving under the influence, receiving nine years in prison, suspended to 30 days in jail to be served on weekends. Two years’ probation will follow the jail sentence, with a fine of $5,000. Barnhill was arrested April 28, 2012, after striking a vehicle head-on with his GMC truck near Ebenezer Road in Sumter. A female passenger suffered two broken femurs in the wreck but did not wish that Barnhill serve any more time than required by law, according to Assistant Solicitor R. Kirk Griffin. Attorney Chip McMillan said his client had worried every day since the incident about the victim and that he has made efforts to apologize to her. • Lorenzo Alfred Antoine Wright, 31, of 1109 Manning Road, pleaded guilty to possession of crack cocaine and possession of a Schedule III controlled substance, both second offense; failure to stop for a blue light and two counts of being a habitual traffic offender; and distribution of crack cocaine, second offense. Cothran gave him five years to run concurrently with a three-year sentence Wright began serving April 13 after he was tried in his absence in July 2012 for similar traffic violations and found guilty. His current drug charges came from undercover drug buys by Sumter police in June 2010; the traffic violations stem from stops in July and September 2011. • Derrick Darnell Davis, 22, of 254 W. Williams St. in Sumter, was sentenced to five years in prison, suspended to one year in prison with one year of probation to follow after pleading guilty to criminal domestic violence, first offense; two counts of forgery of less than $10,000; and resisting arrest. He was initially arrested in September 2009 after his girlfriend told police he choked, hit and chased her with a steak knife around their home. He received forgery charges when the woman discovered two years later that he took her $77 utility check from the Sumter Housing Authority. He received another forgery charge in March 2013 after passing forged checks with a codefendant, according to court records. Davis received credit for the 62 days served in the Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center since his March arrest.

MEETING A LOCAL LEADER

• Shawn T. Nelson Jr., 26, of 1200 Cactus Ave. in Columbia, pleaded guilty to obtaining goods more than $5,000 under false pretenses and was sentenced to two years in prison with credit for time served since being served with warrants in March 2013. He was also ordered to pay $6,100 in restitution to a local car dealership for a Honda fourwheeler he purchased in January 2009 with a check from another man’s closed account. • Wilbur Kingwood, 24, of 1029 Porter St. in Sumter, pleaded guilty to criminal conspiracy and possession of crack cocaine, first offense, and received 18 months in prison with credit for time served since December 2012 for the criminal conspiracy charge. That charge came from an arrest in June 2012 after Kingwood reportedly passed checks as part of a check forgery ring. He was sent to the state Department of Corrections in December after a probation violation on a Youth Offender Act sentence for a prior drug charge, according to court records. • Reginald L. Barno, 29, of 240 Old Manning Road, pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and being a habitual traffic offender on Thursday and was sentenced to 90 days at Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center to run concurrent for both charges. Barno was arrested in May 2009 shortly after deputies stopped him for an expired paper tag on his car. He reportedly told police he had no driver’s license and then fled on foot. Barno had been deemed a habitual traffic offender for five years starting in 2005 by the state Department of Motor Vehicles after multiple traffic violations. • Tony T. Mickens, 27, of 2480 Lisbon Drive in Sumter, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to being present at an animal fight in August 2009, receiving a sentence of 90 days in jail or a $250 fine to be paid within 90 days. Mickens was one of 20 people in attendance at a dog fight, according to the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, near his home, and has stayed out of trouble since, according to his attorney, 3rd Circuit Assistant Public Defender Tiffany Butler. • Zachary Riles, 33, of 1755 Stadium Road, pleaded guilty to driving under the influence, second offense, and was sentenced to five days in jail and a fine of $1,100. Cothran told Riles he could serve his time on weekends and gave him credit for three days in jail at the time of his arrest in December 2011.

Oklahoma residents try to flee tornadoes OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — With the powerful devastation from the May 20 twister that killed 24 and pummeled the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore still etched in their minds, many Oklahomans opted to flee Friday night when a violent tornado developed and headed toward the state’s capital city. It was a dangerous decision to make. Interstates and roadways already packed with rush-hour traffic quickly became parking lots as people tried to escape the oncoming storm. Motorists were trapped in their vehicles — a place emergency officials say is one of the worst to be in a tornado. “It was chaos. People were going southbound in the northbound lanes. Everybody was running for their lives,”

said Terri Black, 51, a teacher’s assistant in Moore. After seeing last month’s tornado also turn homes into piles of splintered rubble, Black said she decided to try to outrun the tornado when she learned her southwest Oklahoma City home was in harm’s way. She quickly regretted it. When she realized she was a sitting duck in bumper-tobumper traffic, Black turned around and found herself directly in the path of the most violent part of the storm. “My car was actually lifted off the road and then set back down,” Black said. “The trees were leaning literally to the ground. The rain was coming down horizontally in front of my car. Big blue trash cans were being tossed around like a piece of paper in the wind. “I’ll never do it again.”

Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Betsy Randolph said the roadways were quickly congested with the convergence of rush-hour traffic and fleeing residents. At least nine people were killed in Friday’s storms, including a mother and her baby sucked out of their car as a deadly twister tore its way along a packed Interstate 40 near the town of El Reno, about 30 miles from Oklahoma City. Oklahoma wasn’t the only state to see violent weather on Friday night. In Missouri, areas west of St. Louis received significant damage from an EF3 tornado that packed estimated winds of 150 mph. In St. Charles County, at least 71 homes were heavily damaged, and 100 had slight to moderate damage, county spokeswoman Colene McEntee said.

Jessica Renee Hodge could have received up to 10 years in prison for helping two Sumter men conceal their various home break-ins in late 2011. Instead, 3rd Circuit Judge R. Ferrell Cothran gave her five years in prison suspended to nine months’ probation for misprision of a felony. Hodge, 27, of 110 Wells Court in Sumter, pleaded guilty on Wednesday at Sumter County Courthouse to the charge, which she received in November 2011, shortly after Sumter police discovered she failed to report that 23-year-old Reco Godbolt and 24-year-old Jamal Helton had perpetrated a series of home invasions on and before Halloween of that year. Godbolt and Helton were sentenced to 25 years and 18.5 years in prison, respectively, last year for kidnapping, first-degree burglary and armed robbery for one such incident at an Idlewild home. Police reported that the pair chased a middle-aged male homeowner after he discovered them in his house and threw their car keys into a wooded area. The men told the homeowner that they had a gun and would kill him if he did not return their car keys,

and also beat him with a lawn maintenance item. Third Circuit Assistant Solicitor John P. Meadors said that pretrial intervention for Hodge had been considered because she had no prior criminal record. “But considering the severity of these home invasions, law enforcement did not feel PTI was appropriate,” Meadors said. “They felt strongly that there needed to be some punishment, because she knew of these felonies and didn’t report them.” According to reports, Hodge was found at her home, which she shared with Godbolt and Helton, a few days after the Idlewild home incident, with “numerous items from (many different) reported burglaries.” “There was too much to count, really, for all the items that police found,” Meadors told Cothran. Brittany L. Braxton, 26, of the same address, was also charged with three counts of misprision of a felony and accessory after the fact of a felony along with Hodge. Her case remains pending. Likewise, Spencer P. Braxton, 21, of 11 W. Williams St., is facing a charge of hindering officers by harboring a fugitive for his role in the case. Reach Robert J. Baker at (803) 774-1211.

THE ITEM

Students read million pages to see principal tell story on rooftop BY JAMIE H. WILSON Special to The Item From the rooftop of Shaw Heights Elementary School, Principal Melissa Morris read selections from Shel Silverstein’s “Where the Sidewalk Ends” to a group of nearly 500 students and teachers. Why from the roof? Because the entire student body read a total of 1 million pages in a reading challenge that began at the beginning of the school year. Using a megaphone, Morris read three poems before encouraging the students to keep up their fervor for reading through the summer months. “They are really motivated by these outrageous events,” said Morris. “It gets them reading, and that’s the whole point.” Each student was assigned a reading log to keep track of his or her

reading progress both in and outside the school walls. Teachers and parents signed off on each child’s progression, Morris said. The activity was a part of a larger goal, said Morris: to have every third-grader reading on a third-grade level by the time they completed their third-grade year. “Research shows that they have a higher chance of future success,” she said. Media Specialist Lindsay Yaroch said the emphasis on learning has been wonderful for the students. “They compete to see who had the most pages,” she said. “They learn to love to read, and that will help them for the rest of their lives.” Hope Mellot, 9, was one of teacher Kayla Caughman’s students with the highest number of pages read. “I try to read every time I get a chance,” she

Man charged with arson not guilty by insanity A 45-year-old Sumter man charged with third-degree arson in January 2012 after he burned his own home to the ground was deemed not guilty by reason of insanity by 3rd Circuit Judge R. Ferrell Cothran during a recent hearing at the Sumter County Courthouse. The state Department of Mental Health made a recommendation

for that verdict on April 13, several months after Richard Clark was ordered to undergo a competency evaluation regarding his charges. Third Circuit Assistant Solicitor R. Kirk Griffin told Cothran on Thursday that Clark burned the house down because he believed witches were in the home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thought of an individual burning his own house down for no apparent reason, with nothing to gain from the act, I have no reason to challenge their findings,â&#x20AC;? Griffin said. Cothran ordered Clark committed to a state mental health facility for no more than 120 days but cautioned that there is a 168-day waiting period for such facilities.

Group offers affordable summer camp BY ROB COTTINGHAM rcottingham@theitem.com From the first moment children walk into class on the first day of school, they begin daydreaming about summer vacation. Finally, the summer break arrives, but much to their chagrin, they often find themselves bored with nothing to do. Summer C. BOSTON camps are always an option, but some can be fairly pricey or don’t seem D. BOSTON to last long enough — especially if you’re a parent. Youth Academy Inc. says they are trying to relieve those worries this summer by offering a summer camp at an affordable price. “It’s only $6 a week,” said Janet Caldwell, codirector for marketing, recruiting and registration. “And breakfast and lunch are free.” Set to begin on June 10, the 2013 Summer Camp & Beach Carnival is open to all children ages 2 to 18. Registration begins with an open house event on June 8. “It’s a wonderful and affordable opportunity,” Caldwell said. “It’s not about money. This camp empowers youth and gives them the opportunity to discover talents.” Caldwell sang the praises of the Rev. Curtis Boston and his wife, Daphne, of Community Outreach Church for making this year’s camp possible. “I’m so excited to have an opportunity to work with First Lady Daphne Boston and Pastor Curtis Boston,” she said. “Although they haven’t lived in Sumter all their lives, they’ve had a lifelong passion for underprivileged youth and giving them a means to shine despite their financial circumstances.” The camp is only in its fourth year, but it offers a variety of activities. There are two main groups at the camp. Children ages 2 to 5 make up the Kids Camp, which will partake in age-appropriate fun. The second group is made of campers ages 8 to 18 years, called the Teens and Tweens group. This group is offered morning and afternoon activities to choose from, including arts and crafts, junior carpentry, team sports, step team and praise dancing and music studio. “We also focus on our junior business program,” Caldwell said. “Campers use donated materials and guidance from counselors to help create a new business, learning the ins and outs of being an entrepreneur.” The camp is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Friday. The kids stick around longer on Fridays to help with the weekly carnival through which they sell their wares and show off

their talents in the weekly fundraiser. “Kids get an opportunity to show off what they can do,” Daphne Boston said. “It certainly gives them a sense of accomplishment.” The Rev. Boston, who retired from the Air Force, said he is glad to be a part of the effort and that he hopes to do so in the future. “Anything I can do to help the children, the youth and young adults to stay out of trouble, I’m CALDWELL up for it,” Boston said. “You know how the saying goes: ‘Idle hands ....’” “We’ve been trying to help as many kids as we can for quite some time,” Daphne Boston said. “We ran a children’s home in Williamsburg County from 1988 to 2007; now we’re working to establish that same atmosphere here in Sumter.” The Rev. Boston and his volunteers have been working steadily to get the grounds, equipment and facilities prepared for the summer camp. “There’s a lot of work to be done,” he said. “We’re working hard to make sure this program develops more and more every year.” “We spent a lot of time planning,” said Caldwell. “The more we plan, the more we’re

structured. That directly cess of the program is affects the kids.

RESTART from Page A1 was two weeks after that when we wanted to see something done.â&#x20AC;? The Rev. John Bolin, pastor of the congregation, said the building was originally erected with a combustible building material which caused it to burn quickly. The few remaining walls were razed and the lot laid empty for several months, save for a stone monument emblazoned with the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name and the year it was founded.

Johnson said the congregation of roughly 100 people began the painstaking process of planning for their future. A committee took suggestions from congregants and waded through the codes and regulations to come up with a plan for a new facility. Meanwhile, the congregation continued to assemble in the Old Myersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-story building a short distance from the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus.

A RESILIENT CONGREGATION

A NEW BEGINNING

Shiloh United Methodist Church was founded in 1831 and, according to Johnson, originally met in a nearby home, often gathering under a shade tree. For the past 182 years, the church has met together regularly and current members in the church werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to let a fire defeat that momentum. Church members were adamant to see a church building rise from the ashes. A committee met weekly to make plans for the construction of a new building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to get something done pretty quick,â&#x20AC;? said Larry Johnson, a lifelong member of the church.

The fire caused an estimated $950,000 in structural damage, which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include the cost of the property damage lost in the contents of the church. It would have been a formidable sum to a relatively small congregation, but the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance will cover the cost of the new construction, Bolin said. A construction crew was on site Friday, digging the footings for the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundations. Ted Hardy, a job supervisor with Jackson/Sims Architects, said the new facility will resemble the original building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will look like a traditional Southern

church,â&#x20AC;? he said. The design of the building will hold to the original aesthetics of the former church building, said John Jackson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new, but it is in keeping with the tradition of the old church,â&#x20AC;? he said. There will be upgrades, said Larry Johnson. The church building will increase in size by more than 1,000 square feet. The facilities will be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility guidelines. It will also

feature a larger fellowship hall, an upgraded kitchen and more restrooms. HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

Elizabeth Johnson, who has attended the church for about 50 years, said she has been out to the construction site almost every day since contractors began work on the new building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really uplifting,â&#x20AC;? she said. Jackson, who has family ties to the church congregation, said there is a general feeling of fulfill-

ment in the air as the groundwork is laid for the new facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels like we are accomplishing something even with the turning of the first spade of dirt,â&#x20AC;? he said. Bolin said there is a great lesson to learn from all of this. While some might question why a sovereign God would bring such devastation on a faithful congregation, Bolin said he is assured that this was a part of a divine plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The church is its people, not a building,â&#x20AC;? he

Two members of the search team discuss strategy as they ready one of the search dogs to join in the retrieval of Sadie Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body on Saturday.

MANHUNT from Page A1 A weapon officers think was used in both South Carolina killings was recovered earlier Saturday in Panama City, Fla. Eady is suspected of killing Clarendon County recycling center employee Maybell White, 65, and a convenience store clerk in Charleston County. He also is a person of interest in the missing persons case of Sadie Brown, 77, of the Oakdale community of New Zion in Clarendon County. Brown is believed dead and authorities were continuing to search at press time for her body. Investigators think her body is in a heavily wooded area, less than three miles from where she lived, near where her vehicle was found early Friday. She was reported missing Thursday. Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was found later the same

day at the 527 Subdivision Road recycling center, the same area where Brown lived. Clarendon County Sheriff Randy Garrett said Eady is being charged with murder, grand larceny, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and credit card fraud. He will also be charged with murder by the Charleston County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. Investigators on Friday were able to link the

weapon used in Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s killing to the shooting death of Charleston County convenience store employee Crystal Johnson. Officers from Clarendon and Charleston counties were flying to Florida Saturday night. Eady also is suspected of robbing a convenience store in Macon, Ga., and later trying to cash in stolen lottery tickets. According to the Associated Press, Eady

served 10 years in state prison for armed robbery. Toward the end of his sentence, he cut off an electronic monitoring device and was sent back to prison to serve the remainder of his term and was released in October.

Time will tell for large new district subcommittees Committee: A cul-de-sac to which ideas are lured and then quietly strangled. —John A. Lincoln

committee has also been defined as a group which succeeds in getting something done only when it consists of three members, one of whom happens to be sick and another absent. This is not meant to discourage Sumter School District’s board of trustees’ announcement last week of the formation of 45-member policy and procedures advisory subcommittees, each consisting of 15 members: school administrators, teachers, parents, students and community citizens. But we do have some concerns. Their task will be to re-

EDITORIAL

view and make potential changes to the district’s lengthy policy manual. Overseeing the subcommittees will be a committee chaired by school board trustee the Rev. Ralph Canty and includes two more trustees, Karen Michalik and the Rev. Daryl McGhaney. Board Chairman Keith Schultz sees the large numbers of members as a way to involve all of the “stakeholders” in the school district. Well, not quite all. That would require holding a mass gathering at the football stadium. But we get the point — sort of. The thinking goes that the more participants involved in the process, the better opportunity to bring forth new ideas

and sensible policies. However, on the negative side, herding that many participants together into subcommittees could also create a Tower of Babble. Sumter has had experience with committees — lots of experience. This town is awash in committees inside civic organizations, churches, public bodies, businesses, industries. Committees have had checkered careers, here and elsewhere. They have been favorites of political figures who want to pass the buck and kick the can down the road. When a particularly knotty issue confronts elected officials they usually create a “blue ribbon” commit-

tee to come up with solutions. The blue ribboners meet endlessly until a shaky consensus is reached and some proposals are regurgitated that contain sensible policy recommendations. Then again, some would argue whether the board of trustees needs to be farming out policy and procedures duties when that was what they were elected to do in the first place. Does the board really need to create a massive group of subcommittee members who may have so many differing opinions that they can’t agree on anything? Rev. McGhaney has already sent out mixed signals by stating in last week’s board meeting that he expects his subcommittee’s recommendations “would have to be agreed upon by all

members … including himself, before being presented to the full board (of trustees).” Is that possible among a 15-member subcommittee? We’ll just have to wait for the next six to nine months to pass, as Rev. Canty estimated for the completion of the review by the subcommittees. What is produced may either be an exercise in futility or proposals that have real substance. History has shown that large committees or subcommittees within an organization are too unwieldy to be successful when way too many opinions are in play. Hopefully the chairs of the three subcommittees will show history isn’t always predictable and the buck will finally stop being passed.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Recent decisions made within church disappointing to members

Noonan’s ‘antidote to cynicism poisoning’

eggy Noonan’s weekend column in The Wall Street Journal is titled, “An Antidote to Cynicism Poisoning: Restoring public faith will require a full investigation of the IRS’s politicization.” It can be found here: http://on.wsj.com/19wuPRD. “(N)othing can damage us more as a nation than what is happening at the Internal Revenue Service,” she writes. “Elite opinion in the press and in Washington Graham doesn’t fully OSTEEN understand this. Part of the reason is that it’s not their ox being gored, it’s those messy people out in America with their little patriotic groups. Those who aren’t deeply distressed about the IRS suffer from a reluctance or inability to make distinctions, and a lack of civic imagination.” That’s a great line — “a reluctance or inability to make distinctions, and a lack of civic imagination” — and it really resonates when you apply it to the lack of aggressive press coverage of the IRS scandal, the Benghazi tragedy, the tapping of phones at the Associated Press and the

COMMENTARY

targeting of reporters for seeking the truth. Much of the IRS scandal, we have now learned, happened during the 2012 presidential campaign, yet it was simply not explored by the major news outlets. Many conservative writers are suggesting President Obama should have an asterisk by his name, meaning a full public accounting of such corruption could very well have changed the election outcome. There may be no such thing as a “clean” election, but it would have been nice for the average American to have known the IRS was targeting the president’s political enemies so aggressively. Such things can make a big difference in our perception of a leader. Because the national press in general has always been completely in the tank for President Obama, many reporters were willing to make excuses for the deep moral, institutional corruption that was taking place right in front of them. Moral power — a belief by those at the top that they are morally superior to those who would disagree with them — can lead to moral corruption

for institutions of all kinds. History is filled with examples of being on the right side of moral conviction — such as ending slavery in America. But there are probably even more examples that go in the opposite direction, in which a desire to succeed at all costs becomes the enemy of good judgment. In this case, an independent counsel investigation is critical because, Noonan writes, “There are obviously many good, fair-minded workers in the IRS, people of sterling character. They deserve to be asked about what they were forced to put up with, what they felt they had to bite their tongues about. It would be worth an investigation that breaks open the IRS to find that person, and that moment. You have no idea how much better it would make us feel, how inspiring and comforting, too.” Eventually, you would think, such a heroic person will indeed step forward.

What is happening to the church in today’s society? I am very disappointed with the Union Methodist Episcopal Church. Over the past year, our denomination has really been through turmoil with the leadership and governing body of our church. In June of 2012, at our General Conference, a pastor decided to run for the office of bishop of the Union Church at the 100th year of our church. This was the first time that this has ever happened. The bishop, according to the constitution, either dies or retires out of office. The constitution supports an election in this case. To my and many parishioners’ surprise, the General Board of our church allowed an illegal election and ousted a bishop that was in good standing with the church. There has been no change in constitution to change the length of a bishop’s tenure in the Union Methodist Church. Yet a zealous preacher usurped authority and formed a coup and held an election. Somebody tell me how do you vote out a Christian businessman that has two degrees and working on the third one. This same man was born and raised in the denomination that ousted him for a man with barely a few hours over a high school diploma and joined the denomination some later years. Because of all of these and many other infractions, our church decided to become independent from the Union Church. On Sunday, May 19, 2013, our church members were told by the General Board that they would seek litigation to force the church to stay within the connection/denomination. Education is so important. It appears that constitutions were created to serve as by-laws to guide and govern. Even the Pilgrims created the Mayflower Compact to govern the early colony and to abide by do’s and don’ts within a governing body. Look at where Christianity is today. What type of Christian leaders would try to hold members to rules that they themselves break? Since hardworking people pay for their churches in various communities, someone tell me what gives the Union Methodist Episcopal Church leaders the right to force and use threats to keep local churches within a body.

Montgomery, USC rout Liberty 19-3 BY DAVID CLONINGER Special to The Item

COLUMBIA REGIONAL

COLUMBIA — With quite a weight on his sturdy shoulders, Jordan Montgomery toed the rubber and prepared to fire his first pitch. Even after missing five weeks in midseason due to a mild forearm stress reaction, he was being counted on as a starting pitcher — and in the postseason, starting pitchers have to be money. Nervous, about facing a free-

Clemson second baseman Steve Wilkerson (17) and outfielder Thomas Brittle (4) celebrate at home plate after Wilkerson’s home run during Saturday’s 10-2 victory over St. Louis in an NCAA tournament elimination game at Carolina Stadium in Columbia.

Wilkerson, Tigers stay alive Clemson 2B hits 2 homers, drives in 5 to back Gossett’s strong outing BY SCOTT KEEPFER Greenville News COLUMBIA — Saturday’s likely hero? Daniel Gossett. Saturday’s unlikely hero? Steve Wilkerson. Both came up big in a win-or-go-home game for Clemson, and the result was a 10-2 victory against St. Louis that kept the Tigers

alive in the NCAA Columbia Regional at Carolina Stadium. Gossett did what was expected, scattering five hits over six innings to become Clemson’s GOSSETT first 10-game winner in more than a decade. Wilkerson did the unex-

pected, launching two home runs and driving in a careerhigh five runs to spark a Clemson offense that had been stagnant at best in recent games. “Baseball’s a funny game,” said Wilkerson, a junior second baseman who entered the game with three career homers. “One little thing can click for you, and today a lit-

tle mechanical thing clicked for me.” Clemson (40-21) advanced to today’s 1 p.m. game against either South Carolina or Liberty, who played later Saturday in a winner’s bracket contest. In its last 26 NCAA Tournament appearances dating back

Indiana center Roy Hibbert, right, goes up for a shot against Miami forward LeBron James during the second half of the Pacers’ 91-77 victory in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals on Saturday in Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Roy Hibbert had 24 points and 11 rebounds, Paul George finished with 28 points, and the Indiana Pacers forced a deciding game in the Eastern Conference finals with a 91-77 victory over the Miami Heat on Saturday night. LeBron James scored 29 points for the defending NBA champions, who will host Game 7 on Monday. Dwyane Wade was limited to just 10.

COLUMBIA — Running back Marcus Lattimore is feeling stronger each day as he continues his recovery from a serious knee injury with the San Francisco 49ers. Lattimore spoke to The Associated Press by phone about his rehab and said the most difficult part has been doctors and trainers slowing him down from overdoing things. Lattimore still believes he can be ready to play this fall, but is content to follow doctors’ orders. “I just want to train as hard as I can,” Lattimore LATTIMORE said. “But I understand why they want me to slow down.” Lattimore overcame a torn ACL as a sophomore to return to the field last season. His college career, though, ended for good against Tennessee last October when Lattimore discloated his right knee and tore three ligaments. He had surgery a month later and declared for the NFL draft in December. He trained in Florida for several months for the NFL scouting combine and South Carolina’s pro day. Lattimore’s future was one of the most discussed topics prior to the draft, several analysts wondering if he’d get picked at all and have to sign as a free again. Lattimore said the work he put in was rewarded when the 49ers took him in the fourth round last April. “It was one of the happiest moments of my life,” he said. Lattimore understands the importance of routine doctor visits, too. He said partnered with First Choice by Select Health of South Carolina to encourage teens and young SEE LATTIMORE, PAGE B3

B.J. Upton lifts Braves in extras ATLANTA — B.J. Upton returned to the lineup with two hits, including a game-ending single in the 10th inning that lifted the Atlanta Braves to a 2-1 win over the Washington Nationals on Saturday night. Upton, hitting only .145 at the start of the game, had been held out of two straight starts by manager Fredi Gonzalez, who hoped the rest would jumpstart the center fielder. And Upton came through with a single to right field off Henry Rodriguez (0-1) to drive in Jordan Schafer from second base. A sliding Schafer narrowly beat the throw from Roger Bernadina in right field, and Upton then was mobbed by his teammates between first base and second base. Rodriguez walked Evan Gattis to open the 10th. Schafer replaced Gattis as a pinch-runner. Ramiro Pena popped out trying to bunt a high fastball, but Schafer stole second and Uggla drew a walk before Upton ended the game. Jordan Walden (2-1) pitched a perfect 10th for the Braves.

ST. LOUIS — Adam Wainwright struck out 10 in his 14th complete game and third this season, and St. Louis completed a day-night doubleheader sweep of San Francisco, taking the opener 8-0 and the nightcap 7-1. Rookie Shelby Miller pitched 6-hit ball for seven innings and backup catcher Tony Cruz hit two doubles and drove in a pair of runs for St. Louis in an 8-0 win in the opener. Wainwright (8-3) allowed eight hits and one run without walking a batter. Wainwright threw 106 pitches and 73 strikes. MARLINS METS

Justin Verlander (7-4) allowed three runs and eight hits in seven innings to win his third straight start. After Victor Martinez opened the inning with a home run off Jason Hammel, Jhonny Peralta followed with a shot to left and Alex Avila made it three in a row with a drive to center. Hammel’s next pitch struck Matt Tuiasosopo in the left shoulder, then ricocheted off the flap of his helmet. Home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt immediately tossed the right-hander from the game.

CLEVELAND — Ubaldo Jimenez pitched eight scoreless innings and Cleveland defeated Tampa Bay 5-0. Jason Giambi and Asdrubal Cabrera hit 2-run homers in the game that began about 10 hours following the conclusion of Friday night’s contest that ended at 2:53 a.m.

USC from Page B1 twirled perhaps the best game of his career on Saturday as he encased the Flames’ bats in ice, helping lead the Gamecocks to today’s championship round of the Columbia Regional of the NCAA tournament. USC, which improved to 41-18 on the season, will face the winner of Clemson and Liberty at 7 p.m. after those two clash in a 1 p.m. elimination game. Montgomery, who improved to 5-1, recorded his first six outs via strikeout as his teammates quickly gave him a 3-0 lead. He struggled only once, in the second inning, when he plunked the leadoff man and then gave up a gap double to Justin Sizemore. With the first two in scoring position and nobody out, that 3-run lead looking awfully tenuous, Montgomery tugged on his cap brim and stared at Alex Close. He struck him out on four pitches. Dalton Britt stood in and worked the count full before Montgomery got him to swing through high heat for strike three. Jake Kimble was down 1-2, then couldn’t stop his swing on a low pitch to the outside corner. Done. Next? Montgomery ended with a career-high 11

Josh Willingham followed with a sacrifice fly, and Doumit — who missed the cycle by a home run — drove in two more for the walk-off win. ROYALS RANGERS

OAKLAND, Calif. — Hector Santiago walked Josh Reddick with the bases loaded and two outs in the 10th inning to force in the winning run and lift Oakland over the Chicago White Sox 4-3.

strikeouts, allowing just two hits and walking none. He hit one batter in a start reminiscent of his College World Series heroics of a year ago, which was fitting. He, just like everybody else at USC, wants to make more history with a fourth straight trip to Omaha. The Gamecocks are three wins away from doing so, but only one win away from winning their NCAA Regional and advancing to the NCAA Super Regionals. They would have to lose today, then lose a rematch with Clemson or Liberty on Monday night to be eliminated. Liberty starter Brooks Roy (7-6), who had thrown five scoreless innings against USC in February, couldn’t get out of the first after walking in three straight runs. The Gamecocks beat up on the Flames’ bullpen as well, getting three singles around a sacrifice fly in the second to score two runs and adding two more when English, the ninth hitter, put a ball into the left-field seats. The carnage continued as Liberty shuttled in pitcher after pitcher, hoping to keep as many arms as possible fresh for what could be a long day on Sunday (or a long two days). The Gamecocks and Montgomery matched runs for strikeouts throughout until a ninerun eruption in the eighth gave Montgomery the night off after seven innings.

Logano earns Nationwide win

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Denny Hamlin, left, hopes to finally conquer the Monster Mile at Dover International Speedway and help his bid to make the Sprint Cup Chase for the Championship.

Hamlin needs Ws to aid Chase push BY DAN GELSTON The Associated Press DOVER, Del. — Denny Hamlin has tried to learn to love Dover. He just can’t. Not yet, at least. Maybe Hamlin has to learn to win at Dover before he can truly embrace the mile concrete oval. Hamlin has been tormented for years by the track and voiced his disdain for Dover as finishes in the 30s or worse piled up. Hamlin also knows he can’t focus on the past disappointments. He has to conquer his Dover demons and try and win there if he wants to keep his long shot bid to make Chase alive. Winning the pole for Sunday’s race was a nice start. Hamlin, actually, has won the last two poles at Dover and parlayed his top spot into an eighthplace finish in the September race. The top-10 snapped a streak of three straight double-digit fin-

Those are usually the results for a driver like Casey Mears, not someone like Hamlin, who is always in the thick of the championship hunt. His average Dover finish of 19.6 is the worst of any track.

top 10 could be the start of a new era for Hamlin. “We possibly could have turned the corner here,’’ Hamlin said. “We’ll actually see the results on Sunday.’’ Hamlin needs a big payoff in the form of a checkered flag at the 400-mile race. Hamlin’s four-race absence because of his back injury has him needing wins to make the Chase and

race for his first career championship. Hamlin’s fourth-place finish last week at Charlotte Motor Speedway moved him up three spots to 24th in the standings, 53 points out of 20th position, where he’d need to be to be eligible for one of two wild-card slots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He is 97 points out of the top 10 and an automatic berth in the Chase. Hamlin is ready drive for wins, not just a solid points day. “We’re going to need to win races, so we’re going to do everything we can to try to get that,’’ he said. “I’’ll be as aggressive as I can, so I’m treating this as more of an offensive race than a defensive one, for sure.’’ He’s in a hole after being sidelined for four races with a compression fracture in his lower spine following a March 24 crash involving former teammate Joey Logano.

GOLF ROUNDUP

DOVER, Del. — Joey Logano led the final 34 laps to win the Nationwide Series race Saturday at Dover International Speedway. Logano has won the last three Nationwide races at Dover. Unlike the last two, Logano won for Penske Racing. His last two Dover victories came with Joe Gibbs Racing. This time, Logano held off JGR drivers Brian Vickers, Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch for the checkered flag. Busch, who won the Truck LOGANO Series race Friday, dominated most of the race and led 72 of the 200 laps. But he was 10th off the final restart, couldn’t drive his way to the front of the field and was fifth. Vickers was second, Kenseth third, and Trevor Bayne fourth. Logano raced to his first Nationwide victory of the season after winning nine times last year. STEELERS OT ADAMS STABBED IN ROBBERY ATTEMPT

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh police say an offensive tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers was stabbed twice during an attempted carjacking. Police said Saturday that 23-year-old Michael Adams told officers that three men confronted him shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday on the city’s South Side district. He said he didn’t have his keys with him and “the situation escalated,’’ and one man pointed the gun at his face while the other stabbed him twice before all three fled. Adams was reported in stable condition at UPMC Mercy after surgery for stab wounds to the abdomen and left forearm. Adams was drafted in the second round last year and named the team’s outstanding rookie, starting six of the 10 games in which he played. HILL RETIRES FROM NBA AFTER 19 SEASONS

LOS ANGELES — Seven-time All-Star Grant Hill is retiring from the NBA after 19 seasons, ending an injury-plagued career that included an Olympic gold medal. The Los Angeles Clippers announced the news on Saturday. The 40-year-old forward averaged 16.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.2 steals during his NBA career that included stints with the Clippers, Detroit, Orlando and Phoenix. Hill spent last season with the Clippers, appearing in 29 games. Gary Sacks, the team’s vice president of basketball operations, calls Hill “the embodiment of class, a true professional.” From wire reports

Kuchar leads Memorial; Woods shoots 79

LATTIMORE from Page B1

DUBLIN, Ohio — Matt Kuchar couldn’t think of conditions more difficult than Saturday in the Memorial, and he had plenty of evidence. The swirling wind that made it difficult to pull the right club. Fast greens that led to 65 three-putts in the third round alone. And a 44 on the back nine for Tiger KUCHAR Woods, the highest nine-hole score of his professional career. “I think most of us would tend to be surprised any time Tiger shoots a number like that, but a lot more understandable in these conditions,’’ Kuchar said after hanging on for a 2-under 70 that gave him a 2-shot lead. “If you’re not on good form, these conditions are really going to beat you up.’’ Woods rallied on the front nine to salvage a 79, matching his second-worst score on the PGA Tour. And that wasn’t even the highest score on a tough day at Muirfield Village. Jordan Spieth shot 45 on the front nine for an 82, while Zach Johnson and

people on regular medical visits, even without serious issues like Lattimore has had during his college career. He said the relationships he built with family doctors as a child helped trust their guidance these past two year when he worried about his future. “I didn’t always know what to think when I was hurt,” Lattimore said. “My doctors helped keep me straight.” Lattimore has a new set of issues to deal with in San Francisco. He’s got a thick, new playbook to learn and a new home base to discover. “It’s a lot more expensive out here,” Lattimore said. He’s talked extensively with new teammate, 49ers running back Frank Gore, who overcame two major knee injuries in college to become one of the NFL’s top runners. Gore spoke with Lattimore during his injuries and served as inspiration for a comeback. “It was great to finally meet him in person,” Lattimore said. “He’s been wonderful to me.” Dr. Greg Barabell, medical director of Select Health, said he was honored to have Lattimore helping get an important message out. “Marcus can reach young people,” Barabell said. Lattimore’s focus these days is getting back to the football field at a pace that works for his new team. San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh has said he wants Lattimore to take a slower approach to returning. “If he doesn’t play this year, then he doesn’t play this year. But I think if anybody can overcome what he’s been through, it’s him, Marcus Lattimore,” Harbaugh said last month. Lattimore appreciates the confidence and will go with the steadier, slower approach. “ I want to have a long, healthy NFL career,” Lattimore said.

swings and all in all, it just went the wrong way.’’ He wound up 16 shots out of the lead. Woods will tee off late today, but on the opposite side of the course in the two-tee start because of weather. Bill Haas, the 36-hole leader, ran off three straight bogeys late in his round for a 76, and he wasn’t all that upset about it. Haas was still only three shots back, and it wasn’t hard to determine that par was a good score. FENG TAKES SHOPRITE LEAD

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tiger Woods tees off on the ninth hole during Saturday’s third round of the Memorial in Dublin, Ohio. Woods had a 44 on the back nine, the highest score of his pro career.

Justin Hicks each had an 81. Kevin Chappell matched the best round of the day with a 4-under 68, leaving him two shots out of the lead, along with Kyle Stanley, who had a 70. Kuchar was at 8-under 208, among 10 players separated by four shots. Going for his sixth win at the Memorial, and his fourth victory in

his last five tournaments, Woods had two double bogeys and a triple bogey on the back nine for a 44, and he did that without a penalty shot. “The conditions were tough and when I missed it cost me,’’ Woods said through a PGA Tour media official. “I caught the wrong gusts at the wrong time, made a couple bad

TIGERS from Page B1 to 1987, Clemson had never gone 0-2 in NCAA play, and the Tigers kept that record intact by putting together a solid all-around performance. But no one had a better day than Wilkerson, who entered the game with just two hits and no RBI in 20 postseason at-bats. He staked the Tigers to a 2-0 lead with a tape-measure two-run home run to right field in the third inning, then added a threerun blast close to the same spot in the fourth for a 6-1 advantage. Wilkerson became the second Tiger this season to hit two home runs in a game, joining Garrett Boulware. “He keeps his head in the game and keeps battling,” Clemson coach Jack Leggett said of Wilkerson. “The confidence from his first home run led into the second one.” Shane Kennedy followed Wilkerson’s third-inning blast with one of his own three batters later as the Tigers hit three homers in a game for the first time since May 12, 2012, when Brad Felder, Richie

The sophomore right-hander checked the Billikens on just five hits and allowed two runs in six innings to improve to 10-4 and become the Tigers’ first 10game winner since Matt Henrie and Steve Reba each won 13 games in 2002. “Goose had to give us a good outing,” Leggett said. “He wasn’t exceptional, he didn’t have all his stuff, but he battled through for us.” Leggett will be looking for another battler on Sunday. He’s expected to tab either freshman Matthew Crownover or senior Scott Firth as the starter. “We’ve got a couple of options,” said Leggett, whose team secured his 16th 40-win season in 20 years at Clemson. “We’ll talk about it tonight, after we see what happens, but it’ll probably be down to between those two guys.”

The takeaway, even after another victory, was the same: The owner of a record seven titles at Roland Garros is not the dominant force he usually is at the clay-court tournament. “If I want to have any chance,’’ Nadal acknowledged after beating 27th-seeded Fabio Fognini of Italy 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-4, “I really need to play better.’’ Hours later, the man Nadal beat in last year’s final and could meet in this year’s semifinals, No. 1 Novak Djokovic, seemed vulnerable, too. Walking to his changeover chair at 4-3 in the third set of a 6-2, 6-2, 6-3 win against No. 26 Grigor Dimitrov, Djokovic stretched his right arm — the one he has used to win six Grand Slam titles — several times. He then was treated by a trainer, who applied ointment and gave Djokovic a massage near the shoulder. Two games later, the match was done, Djokovic was into the fourth round, and he raised that arm in his typical victory celebration. His mood would shift dramatically soon. When Djokovic left the court and went to the locker room, he was told that his first coach — Jelena Gencic, 76, who began working with little Nole when he was 6 — had died in Belgrade, Serbia, earlier Saturday. Djokovic issued a statement through the tournament saying that he would not be able to attend a post-match news conference. As they approach each other in the draw, Nadal now meets No. 13 Kei Nishikori while Djokovic faces No. 16

Rafael Nadal, left, and Novak Djokovic hit returns during their third-round French Open matches on Saturday at Roland Garros Stadium in Paris. Nadal defeated Fabio Fognini Nadal 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-4 while Djokovic topped Grigor Dimitrov 6-2, 6-2, 6-3.

Philipp Kohlschreiber. The other matchups on that half of the bracket after a wild Saturday in Paris: No. 12 Tommy Haas against No. 29 Mikhail Youzhny, and No. 7 Richard Gasquet against No. 9 Stanislas Wawrinka. Haas let a record 12 match points get away from him in the fourth set, then saved one in the fifth. He eventually pulled out a 7-5, 7-6 (4), 4-6, 6-7 (10), 10-8 victory over 19th-seeded John Isner, the last American man in the field.

In Nishikori’s victory, his opponent, France’s Benoit Paire, was assessed a point penalty for getting coached. The same thing happened to Marina Erakovic during her loss to No. 17 Sloane Stephens, one of four U.S. women into the fourth round. That’s the most since four also made it in 2004; five made it a year earlier. She’s joined by 54th-ranked Jamie Hampton, who stunned 2011 Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova 6-1, 7-6 (7); 67th-ranked Bethanie

Mattek-Sands, who also won Saturday; and 15-time major champion Serena Williams, whose fourth-round match is Sunday. Stephens gets the most intriguing matchup with a quarterfinal berth at stake, taking on defending champion Maria Sharapova on Monday. Sharapova, who completed a career Grand Slam in Paris last year, dealt with eight double-faults against unseeded Zheng Jie before winning 6-1, 7-5.

any new changes are coming involving health care, and there are many unanswered questions involved with implementation of the Affordable Healthcare Act. The law will affect almost every person in the country. Regardless of your opinion of this legislation, individuals and businesses will have to determine the best way to benefit from it or lessen the impact of it. What does it mean for those who are uninsured? What does it mean for businesses, particularly small businesses? Open enrollment for individual and small business health insurance exchanges begins Oct. 1. Businesses need to evaluate the exchanges as they may be an important provision of health-care reform for small businesses because they could help lower costs and improve choice of plans. Other questions to be answered are: • How many employees must I have to be affected by the AHCA? • If my employment numbers fluctuate, what will this mean for my business? • If I use a temporary service for employees, who is responsible for insuring them? These questions and many more will be answered in a seminar offered by the Sumter Chamber on Thursday. “How Healthcare Reform Affects You” will be conducted twice — at 8 a.m. and again at noon — at the chamber office, 32 E. Calhoun St. Reservations may be made by calling (803) 775-1231 or by e-mail at debra@sumterchamber.com. The seminar is free for chamber members and their employees and $15 registration for nonmembers. The sessions will be conducted by Sam Monroe and representatives from Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina. Come determine the best approach to make your business compliant and cost effective with this health care law.

his was one of the best all around Iris Festivals we’ve had in years,” Lynn Kennedy said on Tuesday, shortly after the Sumter Iris Festival Committee, of which she is chairwoman, began to evaluate the event. “We calculated we had 75,300-plus people attending,” she said. “Saturday saw most of the traffic, but there were a lot of people on Friday and Sunday, too,” and the weather cooperated, with moderate temperatures and sunny skies. Kennedy said the presence of the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall boosted attendance, but most of the KEITH GEDAMKE people visiting the Wall also took in other offer- Rainey Jackson, 9 months, models her costume for the Diaper Parade. ings at the festival. “Our vendors were very happy at the turnout,” she said, “and they did very well. “Everything was just fabulous. It went very smoothly.” Next year, the Sumter Iris Festival will celebrate its 75th anniversary. Kennedy said the committee is already talking about “what can we do to top this year?” Indeed. How can you top an event that offered such a wide variety of activities, ranging from a huge playground and activities area for children, a parade, pet show, diaper derby, dozens of vendors offering everything from art to clothing to handmade cypress furniture for the outdoors, to plants, flowers, ornamental and utilitarian ornaments to food and more? Some of their plans involve trying to bring back as many past Iris queens as possible and resurrecting a few of the old events, such as the beard-growing competition. ... Ivy Moore

Sumter Cut Rate turns 3; Horatio man gets Carnegie medal The Sumter Cut Rate Drug Store celebrated its third anniversary during the week by holding “the greatest sale in the history of their store.” The drug store was opened in 1935 by Dr. W.C. McManus, beginning in a building only one-third the size of the present building on South Main Street and continues its expansion under the management of Dr. H.H. Herndon. Today it is one of the largest drug stores in the eastern section of South Carolina, growing from three employees to 18. Their luncheonette department established 18 months ago has become one of the most popular features of the store, which recently offered a complete breakfast

for 4 cents, the lowest price for a meal in Sumter. This department is managed by Frank Graybeal and has steadily grown. Gamecocks keep on winning – The visiting Sumter High Gamecocks won from the their second archives of game in a The Item row, blanking Darllngton High 21-0.

will host the powerful Orange High Indians in a game expected to attract one of the largest crowds of the season. It has been many years since Sumter has defeated Orangeburg, and the Gamecocks have high hopes of breaking through this year. Top staffers named for Sumter High News – Edgar Klarpp was named editor and Camilla Bradford business manager of the Sumter High News by Reid H. Montgomery, adviser and teacher of journalism at Sumter High. Klarpp, a senior, has been prominent in student activities as well as being a member of the varsity basketball team. He is vice president of the South Carolina Scholastic Press Association. Camilla Bradford, also a senior, is an outstanding athlete at Girls’

High School, is literary editor of Hi-News, the school annual, and is a member of Quill and Scroll, international honorary journalistic society. They will head up the newspaper for the 1938-39 school year. From the “In and Around the Town” column – “A statement comes from the State Board of Education that under the new curriculum the fundamentals of education, reading, writing and arithmetic, are to be made more practical and flexible. It is to be hoped they will be more intelligible, more legible, more accurate. In recent years there has been altogether too much flexibility about the spelling, writing and figuring of the average run of public school graduates.

“The ‘War of the Worlds’ radio broadcast that created a hysterical panic in New York City and many other less sophisticated and less hardboiled communities last night where thousands of credulous and terrified persons imagined that the end of the world was at hand caused little excitement in Sumter, as far as can be learned. A few radio addicts confess to momentary consternation, but there was no wild panic. It seems that a majority were tuned in on Charlie McCarthy and were having fun instead of being terrified. “As usual last night, the newspapers were appealed to for verification of the wild and terrifying hoax broadcast over the radio.

PANORAMA

SUNDAY, JUNE 2, 2013

THE ITEM

Physical activity pays big dividends BY CATHERINE S. BLUMBERG SCAL Assistant Director For one Sumter family, being physically active is literally paying off. The Blacks — Wallace Sr., Theresa, Wallace Jr., Jennifer and Stephanie — are a typical American family. They work in different locations, have different schedules and are involved in their community, which leaves little time for physical activity. After hearing about the Sumter County On The Move! (SCOTM!) groupbased walking program sponsored by the University of South Carolina Prevention Research Center (USC PRC) and Sumter County Active Lifestyles (SCAL), they joined to get healthier and lose weight. Wallace Sr. said, “After retirement, I gained 80 pounds. A year ago I changed my eating habits, and my family joined me. Our nutrition is so much better now. Then I heard about SCOTM! and knew it was a great opportunity to continue

with lifestyle improvements and start exercising. We all joined. By adding exercise, we’ve all lost weight.” Jennifer became the family’s walk group leader. She knew they would need to walk on weekdays, make most of their physical activity fun and have some incentives. She got inspiration from her workplace, where there have been friendly physical activity competitions that focused on finding ways to be active, even for those with sedentary jobs. She thought those strategies might work well with her family group. She came up with an incentive plan, and the family readily accepted the challenge. Here is what they agreed to do: • First, they developed a mission statement: to increase physical activity by making it

a part of their daily lifestyle. Through increasing their physical activity, they will become more physically, mentally and spiritually healthy. • To meet their goals, they will do physical activity such as running, walking, bicycling, sit-ups, pushups, etc. for at least 30 minutes each day. • They will exercise for points. At the conclusion of each week, the member with the most points will win a cash prize. Their point system is: • 10 points per day per person for being active 30 minutes at a time • 10 points per day per person for a second 30-minute round of physical activity at a different time of day • 20 points per person for each day that all family members exercise together. For example, when all group

members walk around the neighborhood or play tennis together, each person gets 20 points. • Extra credit of two points per activity when someone gets a picture of themselves either climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator, parking the car the farthest distance from the store and walking instead of driving to nearby businesses. At least once on weekends, the family usually walks about three miles to a nearby restaurant for a meal. On Sunday nights, they tally their points to see who wins the cash prize. Jennifer says this is working extremely well for the family. “I walk during my lunch hour, and I walk down the hallway to talk with a coworker instead of calling them,” she said. “Some of my family doesn’t have a set lunch hour, so they find different things to do. There is always a way for each of us to get some points each day.

Besides, we’re really competitive and like to win. We like the extra spending money!” While Jennifer’s plan is fun and specifically designed for her group, there is some evidence that her plan works. In March 2013, the Mayo Clinic reported on a weight loss study conducted with their employees. Weight loss participants who received financial incentives were more likely to stick with a weight loss program and lost more weight than study participants who received no incentives. Through the SCOTM! program, USC PRC and SCAL are researching if and how walking groups, such as the Black family’s, motivate and support group members to be more physically active. Although enrollment into the walking program ended on April 30, information and updates are available at www. SumterCountyMoves. org. Congratulations to

these new SCOTM! Honor Roll members who recently completed their 12 months in the program and have made walking a regular lifestyle habit: Millie Garrett, Annie K. Green, David Patterson, Julia McDaniel, Melvetta McGainey, Susie Cohen, Latrell Billie, Letitia Pringle-Miller and Patricia Drakeford. These members recently finished their first six months in the program: Ann McCain, Beverly Wright, Rachelle McCain and Clara Damon. Congratulations to Melba Ingram, winner of this month’s SCOTM! gift card drawing. Sumter County Active Lifestyles (SCAL) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote health and quality of life in Sumter County by advocating for a community environment that supports physically active lifestyles for all citizens.

Picture this: Vanishing mystery plant blooms at river’s edge BY JOHN NELSON Curator, USC Herbarium I’ve come up with a rather romantic, imaginary Southern scene. Picture this: It’s an early evening in late spring, one of those days that started off cool, but heated up quickly by midday. We’re looking out over an expansive valley of one of our rocky rivers, and what lies before us is an extensive boulder field, or shoal. Granite rocks, some the size of a school bus, are strewn randomly across the entire river’s shallows, with a complicated system of whirlpools and rapids. Despite the lingering afternoon heat, distinctive thrills of chilly air rise up from the rapids. Across the horizon a flicker of lightning is followed by a desultory low growl. The last chittering swifts fly close to the water, and the first bats appear, winging their way erratically while catching dinner. Although no stars are visible, and only Venus is borne over the flood, look below: An entire constellation of starry flowers appears amongst the rocks, wafting

their sweet perfume and attracting quiet moths. Is this too imaginary? No. In fact, our Mystery Plant speaks to such a fantastic natural display, still visible in a few places in the South. This is a rare plant, one related to cultivated amaryllis and jonquils, and native only to a relatively narrow band in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. (It ought to be in North Carolina. But where?) This species is specialized to live in rocky river shoals. It’s a bulb-former, its bulbs wedged within the cracks of the rocks. Now, they must obviously be tightly wedged, when you consider the force of the various floods coming down the river at times. Generally, plants that are not specialized for these “high energy” environments, such as recently sprouted weeds, are easily swept away. Our Mystery Plant produces long, sword-shaped leaves, up to 3 feet long, and then a thick stalk, topped with a cluster of white flowers, each bearing three spidery sepals and petals, and a prominent,

and very impressive, white cup, featuring six spidery stamens. The pistil within has a long style, suitable for receiving pollen from visiting sphinx moths, sipping the sweet nectar. Each flower of the cluster opens one at a time, lasting but a single

beautiful evening. Following flowering, green capsules ripen, then release their plump seeds. The seeds tend to sink into the current, lodging themselves in cracks, where they will germinate and form new plants. Such a magnificent part of our natu-

ral landscape! Regrettably, manipulation of the rivers, especially by the formation of lakes and controlling flow out of the dams, has destroyed most of the populations of this exquisite wetland species. Large, healthy populations still exist in South Carolina’s Catawba River (at Landsford Canal State Park) and in Alabama (along the Cahaba River), and the plants may still be seen growing in association with other piedmont streams. My hometown, Columbia, is now celebrating this beautiful plant’s presence in the Broad, Saluda and Congaree rivers.

CLUB DIGEST THE SUMTER ART ASSOCIATION

The Association met at the Alice Boyle Garden Center on Tuesday, May 21. The meeting was called to order by President Shirley Patterson, who welcomed the 39 members in attendance and also the following new members: Josie Holler, Elizabeth James, Ann Snead and Carla Young. As a devotional, Gene

| Smith talked of the theological and philosophical themes found in most of Dr. Seuss’ 46 books. In Horton Hears a Who, we are reminded that all people matter, and that we must hear the cries of other people. Then Martha Greenway informed the members of numerous cultural events taking place in Sumter. Susan Ward intro-

duced Laura Baker who presented the program “Teaching Art.” Mrs. Baker is an art teacher at Bates Middle School and talked about the changes in art education the last 10 to 15 years. There were three points she made about the changes. First, art educators are expected to work across the curriculum. Second, art has become a huge

motivation in workplace skills. Finally, art educators must be technology up-to-date. Dr. Mary Elizabeth Blanchard installed new officers for 2013-2015: Frances Betchman, president; Shirley Patterson, vice-president; Mary Dallery, corresponding secretary; Rosemary Drakeford, recording secretary; and Karen In-

SUNDAY, JUNE 2, 2013

The Wilson family built this home at 220 Broad St. It was purchased by the Sumter Elks Lodge #855 on March 1, 1944, and became the new home of the Elks Club.

Wilson mansion was expected to be ‘magnificent’ This issue of Reflections focuses on the building of the Thomas Wilson home, one of Sumter’s most impressive physical structures. The article features a series of photos displaying the home from different angles. The information was taken from articles published in The Watchman and Southron and is reprinted with minimum editing. Photos were provided by The Elks Club.

n article published in The Watchman and Southron dated Nov. 1907 reported that “Contractor J.C. McKinney is completing one of the most handsome and convenient residences in the city for Mr. Thomas Wilson, president of the Northwestern Railway on Broad Street. This residence may be termed one of Sumter’s finest mansions. The structure required five years of planning and selection of materials before actual con- Sammy struction could WAY begin. There were fourteen large rooms, three bathrooms, wide halls and commodious porches in the finished structure.” The front of the home was set off in the colonial style with massive pillars, and the residence had the appearance of one of the magnificent antebellum mansions. The ceiling was beautifully frescoed and demonstrated fine workmanship. Electric lights and bells were to be installed through the building, and only the finest heart long-leaf pine timber was used in construction. “The beautiful plaster moulding, which was a feature reflections

of the house, was made and installed by an Italian plasterer who had just completed the interior work of the Congressional Library in Washington. “Contractor McKinney has, indeed, done excellent work on this residence and will give Mr. Wilson one of the finest homes in this section. The cost of the residence will be about $20,000, and it would be ready for occupancy in early 1908.”(Disclaimer: Sources differ on date of completion.) Col. Thomas Wilson died in New York City following a short illness. His body was returned to Sumter on July 4, 1921, to be interred. His wife, Elizabeth McCormick Wilson, died at the home in June of 1925 leaving the property to one of her daughters who lived there until she died in 1943. The house was purchased by “a northerner, who occupied it for a few months before it was leased as a cadet club by Shaw Field.” The house was purchased by the Elks Club on March 1, 1944, for $15,000. The home was later sold and was scheduled for removal in 1969. Reach Item Archivist Sammy Way at waysammy@yahoo. com or (803) 774-1294.

Sumter School District GRADUATION SCHEDULES

Next weekend, graduation ceremonies will be held in Sumter School District for the Classes of 2013. Crestwood and Lakewood high schools ceremonies will be held on Friday at the Sumter County Civic Center. Crestwood’s ceremony begins at 3 p.m., and Lakewood’s graduation begins at 7 p.m. The doors will open one hour prior to each graduation. The graduation for Sumter High School is Saturday at 9 a.m. at Memorial Stadium. The gates will open at 7:30 a.m. All in attendance must have a ticket, including small children. RETIREMENT PROGRAM HELD

A retirement program and reception for all first-time retirees was held at Crestwood High School on May 24. Fifty-eight honorees were recognized for their service and dedication to Sumter School District. Board member Barbara Jackson welcomed the employees on behalf of the board. She praised them for their service and thanked them for sharing not only their knowledge but also their lives

with their students. Board member the Rev. Daryl McGhaney offered the invocation. Robert Hutchens, chief operations officer for Sumter School District, called the names of each employee, and each was given a token of appreciation by Superintendent Randolph D. Bynum Sr. Hutchens spoke briefly about retirement, education and the many sacrifices and contributions the employees had made along the way. He wished them well and asked them to come back often to visit or volunteer. Bynum offered closing remarks, also thanking the employees for their contribution to education and commended them for the difference they made in the lives of so many young people. He also recognized and thanked the sponsors. Childs and Halligan, P.A., Attorneys and Counselors at Law, and XDOS, Inc. (Xerox Digital Office Systems) were presenting sponsors for the event. A reception in the lobby of the Crestwood Fine Arts Center followed the program. All refreshments were prepared by the Sumter School District Food Services department. The Crestwood High School ROTC students presented the colors and provided assistance for the event. KING IRIS CROWNED

Bryant Devin Sowell, a senior at Sumter High School, was named the 2013 Iris Festival King during the opening ceremony of the annual festival on May 23. The crowning of the king and queen is traditionally the first event of the Iris Festival. Jo Anne Morris, director of Sumter Volunteers, coordinates the King and Queen Iris activities, soliciting the nominations, acquiring the judges and planning the crowning ceremony. Each public and private high school in Sumter is asked to nominate one student each for the king and queen. Nominees are chosen not only on academics, but also on community involvement and citizenship. Each nominee also submits an essay to the committee. WLTX PLAYER OF THE YEAR NAMED

Molly Catherine Duggan, a senior at Sumter High School, was named the WLTX female Player of the Year on May 23 at an awards dinner in Columbia. WLTX names players of the week for 32 weeks during each school year, and the naming of the overall winners is the culminating activity. Duggan made the All-Region team in both cross country and swimming at Sumter High this year while maintaining a 4.01 GPA. She assists with Special Olympics and was named the Special Olympics Youth Volunteer of the Year for her work with the students in Sumter. Despite her hectic schedule with these and countless other activities and leadership positions, Duggan managed to have perfect attendance for her entire 12 years of school. Next year, she plans to attend Winthrop University and major in special education. In addition to a trophy for her honor, she will receive a $1,000 scholarship from WLTX News 19 and Bojangles. Duggan is the daughter of Joey and Tess Duggan of Sumter. STUDENTS EARN PERFECT ATTENDANCE

Students in South Carolina schools may miss a designated number of school days per year for a variety of reasons and still earn credit in courses, provided they pass their courses. Four Sumter School District seniors, however, never missed a single day in 12 years. Racquel Collier and William Geddings from Lakewood High School and Molly Duggan and Friendly Gadson from Sumter High School had 12 years of perfect attendance. The State Department of Education began recognizing this feat in 1979. The four students will receive certificates and congratulatory letters from State Superintendent of Education Mick Zais. BLOOD DRIVE A SUCCESS

Alice Drive Middle School sponsored an American Red Cross blood drive in memory of Carson Watson last Sunday. Despite the scheduling conflicts that arose with the Memorial Day weekend, the Iris Festival and other activities, they still collected 21 pints of life-saving blood. Carson was a student at Alice Drive Middle and suffered from DiamonBlackfan anemia, which made it necessary for him to receive frequent blood transfusions. In 2010, at the age of 14, Carson died from complications following a bone marrow transplant. Carson was the son of district teachers Angie and Jimmy Watson. Alice Drive science teacher and Dis-

trict Teacher of the Year Trevor Ivey coordinated three blood drives this year at the school in Carson’s memory. Following last week’s drive, Ivey said, “The need is constant; the gratification is instant. Alice Drive Middle welcomes any opportunity to give back to the community. Altogether, our blood drives have collected approximately 101 pints of blood this year and have impacted even more lives.” The American Red Cross says that one pint of blood can help up to three people. Safety officials call the time between Memorial Day and Labor Day the “100 Deadly Days of Summer” because often fatalities rise due to heavy vacation and out-of-state travel, among other things. The Red Cross is always in need of additional blood during this time of year. LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL

This is the last week of school for the 2012-13 school year. Exams will be given on Wednesday and Thursday at the high schools with half-day attendance for the high school students. Thursday is a half day for the entire district. Friday is a workday for the employees, and there will be no student attendance. Elementary report cards will be given to the students on Thursday. Middle and high school report cards will be distributed or mailed. The events during this last week of school are too numerous to list, but there are awards days, student recognition programs, and much more at nearly every school. For more information on all of the activities, visit the district website at http://sumterschools.net. The public may check the main district calendar and also finds links to every individual school in the district. — Mary B. Sheridan

KEITH GEDAMKE

YESTERYEAR from Page C1 the Worlds’ scare was merely an aggravated example of the many unfounded reports disseminated by radio broadcasters. “The municipal baseball park is to be put in shape for the big league game next spring, and work is already under way. The box seats in the stands are being rearranged and the floor level lowered so that the view from the regular seats will not be obstructed. Press and radio stands are to be constructed on the roof of the stadium.” Other news – Sumter County’s 4-H Club boys turned in outstanding performances in the livestock competition at the S.C.

A skeet shooting field is in the process of being constructed south of Pocalla Springs, installed by H.K. Adams of Florence, representative of the Western Field Co. The skeet field is expected to prove popular not only with local sportsmen but also with the tourists, many of whom will stop off a few days in Sumter because of the attraction of skeet shooting. Miss Gussie Williams of Sumter will be attending the annual Clemson College Tiger Ball, to be held in the Clemson field house on Friday, Oct. 28. She will be escorted by Cadent Frampton Durban, editor of The Tiger school newspaper. In national news, Seabiscuit won the match race with heavily favored War Admiral at the Pimlico track in Baltimore, Md. The Biscuit won the race by three lengths and established a new track re-

cord for a mile and three sixteenths before over 46,000 fans cheering him on. Seabiscuit is owned by Charles Howard of California and received a masterful ride under George “The Iceman” Woolf, leaving no doubt as to which was the better horse, and according to an Associated Press sports writer, “… stands unchallenged as the king of the American turf.” At the movies: “Stablemates” starred Wallace Beery and Mickey Rooney at the Sumter, followed by “Professor Beware” starring Judy Garland, Mary Astor and Freddie Bartholomew, “Always in Trouble” starring Jane Withers and “Come On, Leathernecks” starring Richard Cromwell and Marsha Hunt.

Rabbit habit growing – South Carolina’s largest rabbit producer, George Swinford, has a major headache. He can’t get an exact count of “guests” at his Pineview Rabbit Ranch on the Pinewood Road near Sumter. “Before I can finish counting, a doe or two will have other litters, throwing my count off 10 or 11,” said Swinford. He knows the number is over 1,000. The 42-year old retired Air Force captain is raising New Zealand whites and California white rabbits. Sumter girl in Florida pageant – Miss Columbia Speedway is going to the home of Daytona International Speedway to take part in the Miss Dixie Pageant. She’s Joselyn Jeanne Alarie, Columbia resident who was born in Sumter 19 years ago. The Daytona Beach Jaycees have selected Joselyn as one of 20 entries in the annual contest. John D. Lee dies – John Dozier Lee, prominent Sumter attorney of the firm of Lee & Moise, died suddenly at his home at 3 Warren St. Born in Sumter, Oct. 18, 1888, he was the son of the late Col.

The resolution states the mayor and council understand the route following the Highway 15-301 corridor has been selected as the most feasible by the Highway Department after consideration to alternate routes, highway design and construction economics, service area and other criteria and standards required by the Bureau of Public Roads prior to their selection of the new roadway. Central District BPW gathers in Sumter for workshops – Workshops on program coordination, world affairs, civic participation, personal development and membership highlighted a recent gathering here of Business and Professional Women from the Central District of the South Carolina Federation. Approximately 50 attended the one-day session in the fellowship hall of Trinity Methodist Church. Workshops followed a luncheon opened with prayer by Mrs. Bessie Parker, assistant pastor at Trinity.

Preparation for salt-water adventure can be a dirty job

afield & afloat

y the time you read this, I will be back at home from vacation. My lovely bride, Sherri, and I have spent the last week enjoying the sun and fun along the South Carolina coast. But, since I have no way of knowing at the time of this writing whether I caught any flounder or not, and I haven’t a clue as to whether there were blue crabs to be taken from the Earle pier at the house, WOODWARD you’ll just have to wait until next week to find the answers to those questions. What I can relay to you is the amount of work it takes to prepare for such an outing, especially from the outdoors perspective. As most of you read last week, I had taken my boat to Gene’s pond for the church outing and, to be perfectly honest with you, the boat was a wreck. I had been cutting striper bait all spring, which means that there were loose scales all over the place. Plus, there were small sticks left in the bottom of the boat from a couple of duck hunts, and Chris and I had littered it with wornout plastic worms and flukes. I can’t live like that. So, last Sunday afternoon, while it was too wet outside to play, I went out to the garage and started the boat work. I know that some of you will think this strange, but I vacuumed out the floor of the boat. I know, 10 years ago I would have called anybody who vacuumed their boat a real nut job, but I have my reasons. In years past, I have been

blessed to find that I had a couple of dead mud minnows in the back of the boat by following the odor that they were giving off after sitting in the closed-up garage for a few days after vacation. I had been very careful to take the boat up to the carwash before the salt water dried on it, and spray down the inside and outside of the boat, motor and trailer. Salt water will ruin pretty much any metal it comes in contact with, so a daily hosing after each day’s fishing and a real good dousing at the end of vacation are in order. Unfortunately, over the years, I had let the sticks, grass, dirt and general debris build up in the grooves in the bottom of the boat, preventing the aforementioned mud minnows from flowing out with the water at the end of the cleaning. It was an experience that I do not intend to repeat, so I’ve found running the Shop-Vac around the bottom, and into the grooves relieves the situation. Water can now fly through the boat and flush out any and all trash, even the biological kind. Everything pertaining to freshwater fishing was taken out stored, and replaced with saltwater tackle. All of the coolers, which had developed their own signature odor, were filled with water and chlorine bleach and allowed to sit for awhile. They smell much better now. Minnow buckets were retrieved from their spots in the closet, as were the minnow traps, and a preliminary layout of the boat was undertaken. You see, the boat also acts like a utility trailer for all the other junk we have to take.

There will be multiple beach chairs, coolers, umbrellas, etc. for those all-important trips to the beach where some of us can bake for hours in the sun. Anything that needs to travel and can be allowed to get wet if a thunderstorm intercepts our travel route goes into the boat, so, again, the boat needs to be clean so that I don’t learn sometime Saturday night that the beach chairs all smell like fish and have scales on them. Wouldn’t bother me, but it might some people. I will be spending the better part of six days drifting around in my boat trying to catch a flounder or redfish. I’ll get up early, call the bride around 10 a.m. -- only if the sun is shining -- then come in from fishing around 2 p.m. I’m pretty much going to be living in my boat, so I want it as clean as possible for my own comfort. The beach is an awful environment to try to keep anything clean in, but if I start out with dirty stuff, then it’s just going to make it that much harder to keep things clean. Really, I’m no clean freak, but I do recognize the value in starting off clean and trying to keep it that way. It makes it a lot easier to find things and a lot easier to pack it all back up at the end of vacation. I suppose you can figure on a flounder or crabbing story next week. My granddaughter, Katie, and her parents are joining us for the first couple of days, so maybe it’s time for Katie to take her first boat ride with Granddaddy. I’d love that and that’s another good reason to keep the boat clean. I can’t have old fish scales flying around and bothering my Scooter!

SUNDAY, JUNE 2, 2013

FISHING REPORT Santee Cooper System Crappie: Fair to good. Captain Steve English reports that before the flood crappie were showing up in good numbers on brush piles, and they could be caught best fishing minnows and jigs over brush in the 14-20 foot range. Bream: Fair to good. Captain Steve English reports that for now there is not much of a shallow bite for bluegill or shellcracker, which are still ganged up on brushpiles in the 8-14 foot range. However, on the next full moon fish should move shallow in very good numbers. Catfish: Slow. Only a few fish are being caught most of the time, which is not what is expected at this time of year. Anglers are having some limited success in shallow water for blue cats and channels, but it is not the usual widespread shallow water bite. Some fish are being caught in deeper water, but neither shallow nor deep is hot. Lake Murray Largemouth bass: Slow. Fish are transitioning into the summer pattern, but not there yet. Use a Carolina rig and shakey head worms around rocks over 14 feet of water. Crappie: Fair. Moving into a summer pattern. Fish around bridges and docks in 20 feet with jigs. Striper: Good. Freelines from the banks to 25 feet out early and late. Use cut bait midday in 25 feet of water. Lake Wateree Crappie: Good. As always, check the brush in 9-18 feet of water. Some fish are suspended and some are flat on the bottom. Fish stalker jigs and minnows are working. Some action around bridges also reported. Lake Greenwood Largemouth bass: Good. Before 9 a.m. is when topwater around seawalls with floating worms is your best bet. Later in the day check out the brush piles off points with worms in 12-18 feet. Lake Monticello Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that he has started catching fish in the shallower range of 5-40 feet right now instead of in their winter-time haunts of 60+ feet. The backs of coves and humps and points in that depth range have been most productive, and drifting or anchoring have both been working. There are plenty of fish out deep but at times it seems as if the shallow fish are more aggressive. Big cut gizzard shad and white perch are working for big fish, and if you want to put any size fish in

the boat small cut herring is tough to beat. Lake Russell Catfish: Good. Use cut bait in 4-8 feet or shallow around rip rap. Largemouth Bass: Good. Use a Texas rig and worms over timber in 8-18 feet. Spotted bass are showing results with shakey head worms. Bluegill: Fair. Check the backs of coves. Crappie: Good. Best action is coming at night under bridges or around timber with lights at 30 feet. Lake Thurmond Blue catfish: Good. Check the top of the lake around 20-30 feet and even shallower. Fish are still spawning around rip rap. Striper: Good. Fish are around main lake points in 25-30 feet of water. There are a lot of herring around the dam and hybrids are feeding shallow. Largemouth bass: Slow. Best action on points in 14 feet of water. Check the grass and brush on the banks. Use Carolina rigs and flukes. Lake Wylie Largemouth Bass: Beginning to slow. The spawn is tapering off so check offshore. Hopkins spoons and football jigs are producing. Lake Jocassee Trout: Good. Best action coming anywhere from 15 to 65 feet. Trolling from the intakes and out to the main lake. Largemouth bass: Improving. Fish are in a post spawn phase. Best bet is to find some of the main drop offs and use shakey head worms. Lake Keowee Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Good to very good. Guide Brad Fowler reports that as of a couple of days ago large numbers of fish were shallow and spawning on Lake Keowee. Sight fishermen can catch fish with traditional bed-fishing methods, and shallow fish pre- or post-spawn will also eat soft plastics. Good numbers of fish can also be found running bait around points and shoals, and these fish will take flukes and swim baits. Drop shots are also effective. Look out for topwater activity to really heat up as temperatures warm. Lake Hartwell Striper: Good. Fish are still schooling and they are scattered across the lake. Pull free lines. Channel catfish: Good. Use the usual baits in 3 to 20 feet of water. Blues are slow. Crappie: Fair. Check the brush at around 20 feet with some action reported around bridges.

Staking tomatoes brings benefits, responsibilities LEE REICH Associated Press A month from now, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Tomato seedlings that were planted neatly near garden stakes are already beginning to take matters into their own hands, and if allowed to grow willy nilly will turn into a tangled mass of vines with tomato fruits — many of them rotting — hidden in a dark jungle of stems. So, if you were planning to stake and prune your tomato plants, start asserting yourself now. Tomatoes do not have to be staked and pruned to be grown well, but if you planted them anything less than 3 or 4 feet apart and put stakes beside each one, that obviously was your intention. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WHAT’S AT STAKE?

Staking is admittedly the more troublesome way to grow tomatoes. But in return for your troubles, you reap earlier fruits, larger fruits, cleaner fruits and more fruits per square foot of garden space. (Only so-called indeterminate tomatoes — those whose stems are forever elongating, as indicated on the seed packet — can be staked.) To keep the plants neat through the season, the stake has to be sturdy, no smaller than an inch-and-a-halfsquare piece of wood, bam-

boo or metal pipe. To accommodate that ever-elongating growth, a stake also must be about 7 feet tall, enough for one end to be plunged solidly into the ground while the other extends as high as you can reach for pruning, tying and harvesting. ONGOING PRUNING

OK, your stakes are in the ground. Your tomatoes are growing well and you’ve been pruning them by snapping off shoots, called suckers, that

appear wherever a leaf meets the single stem. So what more do you need to worry about? Those tomato plants are going to need more attention than you think. Turn your back on them for what seems like a few minutes, and already little new suckers are picking up steam. Or, the plant has grown another 12 inches and is starting to flop over. Time for another tier of soft twine or a strip of cloth

looped tightly around the stake, then loosely around the stem to hold it up. SOMETIMES PLANTS GET AWAY

Most frustrating is when you’re startled by a giant sucker, almost as robust as the single main stem, on a plant that otherwise has been so neatly trained. This common situation results, ironically, from paying too close attention to the plants. While you were staring at small details like little suckers trying

to get toeholds, a large one that went unnoticed kept growing larger. It doesn’t take long for a large sucker to take on the proportions of the main stem. There are a few ways to handle such a delinquent shoot. The first is to lop it off at its origin. The plant doesn’t like losing all this photosynthesizing greenery, and small tomatoes might even be forming on it. Still, lopping the overgrown sucker off keeps the plant neat and uncongested, which are long-term benefits that make this option best earlier in the season. The second option is to let the shoot grow, tie it up, and now consider your staked plant as having two main stems instead of one. Diligent pruning from here on can usually prevent congestion, although two stems provide twice the opportunity for delinquent suckers to sneak up on you. The third option is just to ignore the delinquent shoot, except to harvest its tomato fruits when the time comes. This is the best course of action near the end of the season, when it becomes wellnigh impossible to keep up with suckers anyway. Tomato plants sometimes acquire odd growth habits, and toward the end of the season, new shoots even sometimes start growing from the ends of leaves.

Beneath an awning on the shoulder of the Pan American Highway, several journalists crowd together to watch a bank of video monitors, the real action taking place 600 feet above the adjacent waters of the Panama Canal. Here within the jungle-covered hills, the scene is epic: an ordinary man, desperate to save his family, pushes himself toward redemption by rappelling down one of the towers of the Centennial Bridge, all while Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson transmits words of encouragement from his helicopter. No, this is not the latest big-budget action flick, but TNT's new competition series "The Hero," premiering Thursday at 8 p.m. The elimination game show embraces familiar elements of the genre, but it may be the first where intentions can matter as much as results. "To me, true heroism means the notion of just getting better every day," Johnson says of the principal trait tested by the series he hosts. "Because we're gonna trip, we're gonna screw up, we're going to step in B.S. from time to time - sometimes more than we want to - but we gotta get up and dust ourselves off, wipe our feet off and keep moving." The exotic location of Panama City is booming, with new skyscrapers popping up everywhere on the expanded coastline. These large, empty structures are ideal for many of the movie-style stunts called for in the challenges of "The Hero," which weigh not only physical and mental abilities, but morality as well. The nine competitors sharing a downtown condo (and the routine drama) must work together to win
