‘God called my name’ 12-year-old minister, author balances calling with life

BY RANDY BURNS Special to The Item BISHOPVILLE — In many ways, Lee Central Middle School sixthgrader Keishan Scott is like any other 12-yearold.

He loves sports and spends a lot of time playing basketball with his friends. He has a basketball goal at his house. He loves to watch football and college basketball on TV, and his favorite teams are the Pittsburgh Steelers and the (North Carolina) Tarheels. His

favorite athlete is Michael Jordan.

But still, he is different from any other 12-year-old that most have ever met.

Keishan accepted Jesus as his savior at age 5 one Sunday morning at his home church, Grace Cathedral Ministries in Sumter.

Two years later, Keishan said God called RANDY BURNS / SPECIAL TO THE ITEM him to preach.

ALICE DRIVE BAPTIST CHURCH’S BIG WEEKEND

Alice Drive Baptist Church held its in-town retreat, Big Weekend, for grades six through 12 on March 8-10.

One-hundred sixty-five students and 19 college leaders stayed in 15 host homes across Sumter beginning Friday night and ending after church on Sunday. Roy Geesey, lead pastor at Outreach Church in Greenville, spoke on this year’s theme, “WONDER,” and Paul Taylor-Smith and his group led worship. Students also broke into small group Bible study sessions and partnered with 323! Missions to pack 100 food boxes for those in need in our community.

The youth solicited donations of non-perishable food items from the adult Life Groups. Among the items donated in just three weeks were 800 packages of ramen, 600 cans of Vienna sausages and 200 cans of corn. Each box was jammed with more than 40 food items. The students worked together to decorate and pack each box.

38 file for relief from convictions Circuit judge to hear pleas of mistrial, incompetence

BY ROBERT J. BAKER bbaker@theitem.com Kevin DeWayne Isaac wants a circuit court judge to vacate his guilty plea to the 2009 death of his 17-month-old son and the 25-year prison sentence that went with it.

Judge George C. “Buck” James sentenced Isaac and Marketta Sharnise McCray in 2010 to 25 years and 29 years, respectively, for the death of Sincere Isaac, who died of starvation on March 2, 2009.

This week, Isaac will challenge his conviction at the Sumter County Courthouse by attacking the defense provided by his then-attorney, Arthur Wilder.

Isaac is one of 38 defendants that have filed post-conviction relief applications that will be evaluated in court by 3rd Circuit Judge W. Jeffrey Young at the courthouse this week.

“In South Carolina, a post-conviction relief proceeding is a collateral attack on a criminal conviction,” according to the state Attorney General’s Office, who challenges each application on a rotating schedule in the state’s 16 judicial circuits.

During a hearing, the convicted person attempts to prove that his original trial lawyer was incompetent in handling his case or that there were other errors to prove his trial was unfair.

By South Carolina law, Isaac had just 10 days to appeal his guilty plea to a higher court.

In his post-conviction relief application, Isaac claims that Wilder provided “ineffective assistance of counsel, failed to investigate (his) case and denied (him) adequate formulation of performance.”

State law puts the burden of proof on the applicant, the convicted defendant.

Isaac will have to show Young that had it not been for the alleged deficient conduct, he would not have pleaded guilty and

scene and searched the surrounding area for the child’s parents.

“We spent three hours going door to door in the neighborhoods and apartment complexes in that area,” said Clarendon County Sheriff Randy Garrett.

After the sheriff’s office released information about the child through the media, two men, Brown and Robinson, reportedly came to the sheriff’s office about 12:30 p.m. to claim the child. Robinson allegedly told deputies he was the child’s father, but after being interviewed by deputies, officers determined he was not the father.

“He didn’t know enough details about the child,” Garrett said.

Both men were then arrested. Brown reportedly told officers he didn’t want to claim the child because he knew he had an outstanding bench warrant against him, according to Garrett.

The child’s mother was eventually located and questioned by law enforcement and the Department of Social Services. Brown was reportedly watching the child for the mother at her apartment near the place the toddler was found at the time he wandered off. The circumstances of how the child got

lost were still unclear Saturday.

The child’s mother was not immediately facing any charges, but the boy was being held in protective custody. The child was unharmed, although Garrett said he seemed “scared to death.”

In a photo initially released by Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office in hopes of identifying the child, the boy can be seen wearing a T-shirt saying “Daddy is my hero.”

Paramedic team hopes to win competition title

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com Kent Hall and Bobby Hingst have waited seven years to get another shot at the state championship.

The two last competed in the South Carolina Paramedic Championship in 2006 and have been trying to make it back ever since.

Last month, the Sumter County paramedic team won the right to compete for the championship again when they won the Pee Dee regional championship by competing against other first responders in Florence on Feb. 7.

Now the duo will reach for the brass ring one more time Friday in Myrtle Beach.

“God blessed us (seven) years ago, and we’ve only gotten better and better since then,” Hall said at the Emergency Medical Services station on East Hampton Street, where he was on call last week.

He and Hingst, who is also the director of Sumter County EMS, made it clear their goal this time is to win the title.

“We strive to win,” Hingst said. “We want to be the best.”

The paramedic championship is an annual competition to test how emergency medical crews will respond to extreme situations and how well they

keep up with the latest techniques. Sumter County’s representatives will face off with the regional winners from the Lowcountry, Midlands and Upstate, as well as defending state champions Charleston County.

Both men know from previous experience what to expect.

“They sequester us in one location and then dispatch us like it’s a regular call,” Hall said.

But they won’t know what to expect until they get to the simulated scene at the competition.

“It’s usually something with multiple patients,” Hingst said. “You have to take care of three-plus patients at once.”

The competitive aspect pushes paramedics to outdo each other, but the real purpose of the state championship, which is held alongside the S.C. Emergency Care Symposium, is to train first responders to handle more intense calls than they would be likely to see in their day-to-day operations. Scenarios can range from disasters that leave large numbers of people critically injured at once to cases of extreme or unusual illnesses.

Hall and Hingst have been training intently for the competition since February, running through different drills with the help

of Sumter County’s training officer and other paramedics.

“It’s designed not to let you finish,” Hingst said.

“It’s a 15-minute scenario, usually a very detailed scenario, with multiple people there to try to distract you while you’re working and keep you separated.”

“It’s designed to spread you out,” Hall said. “You can communicate back and forth with each other, but there’s usually very little you can do to help.”

One of the challenges the two had to meet in previous competitions involved a mother giving birth on the side of the road and having to deal with the complications that ensue, all while being watched by judges with up to 30 years of paramedic experience. At last month’s regional competition, Sumter County had two EMS teams competing (at the regional level, each service is allowed to enter up to three teams), but Hall and Hingst came out on top.

The regional champions have been working together since 2005 and have been competing in paramedic events almost as long. They see them as a chance to strengthen and showcase the abilities the two have acquired over their paramedic careers.

“If you want to be the

best in your profession, you have to challenge yourself outside your dayto-day routine,” Hall said.

“This challenges us to stay on top of the latest therapies, the latest treatments, and really show what we can do.”

In that sense, the championship is a test of paramedics’ knowledge as much as their skills.

“We have a reference book in the ambulance for calls,” Hingst said, “but for the competition, you just have to go off what’s in your head.”

Besides, Hall said, “this is one of the only chances our families get to come and see what we do.”

Winning a state championship wouldn’t just give Sumter County bragging rights, although it does come with a five-foot trophy and a commemorative plaque. It also gives Sumter the ability to promote its medical services on a big professional stage.

“It’s a big PR thing,” Hingst said. “It can help you recruit guys if they see you have that caliber of service, then they want to work somewhere they can do the same thing. It’s inspiring to people.”

The state paramedic championship will be held from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Kingston Plantation Hotel and Resort in Myrtle Beach.

RESIDENTS NEAR FIRE EVACUATED Sumter County firefighters respond to a large brush fire off North St. Pauls Church Road on Saturday. The fire spread from a wooded area into a junkyard, reportedly burning several old cars and other vehicles located there.

Engines, water tankers and brush trucks from multiple fire stations and the Forestry Commission were called to the area to combat the blaze. Residents of nearby homes were evacuated, and at the height of the fire, sheriff’s deputies and Highway Patrol closed a section of St. Pauls Church Road between the entrance to the junkyard and Patriot Parkway. The cause of the fire as well as the value of any damage was not immediately determined.

Palmetto Healthy Start’s Fatherhood Initiative helps new dads

“This is my first child,” he said. “We had a little girl in September. She’s been a blessing and a joy.”

His wife, Chequira, became involved in Palmetto Healthy Start while still pregnant with Desiré, and soon she got Donté involved in the Palmetto Healthy Start’s Fatherhood Initiative.

“Palmetto Healthy

Start is a federally funded program aimed at reducing infant mortality and health disparities in communities,” said Director Kimberly Alston.

“We’ve been around for 15 years, but the Fatherhood Initiative is one of our newer aspects. We’re trying to galvanize our fathers to be better dads.”

An additional grant in 2010 allowed Healthy Start to expand into Lexington and Sumter, so the program now serves residents in Richland, Fairfield, Lexington and Sumter counties, according to Palmetto Health’s website.

This year, Palmetto Healthy Start started working with students at Brewington Academy, one of the alternative schools in Sumter School

“It’s health education for guys about first-time pregnancy prevention,” said Jay Whitmore, community advocate and coordinator for the Fatherhood Initiative for Lexington and Sumter.

“We’ve got about 15 signed up for the program.

“We do have a lot of young fathers. It’s disturbing to us, and it’s disturbing to them. They’re not thinking about it being a byproduct of it (sex) when they’re 13, 14 and 15. There are so many issues coming in at that age, and it’s extremely overwhelming.”

Now that they have signed a memorandum of agreement to collaborate with the school dis-

trict, they hope to expand their services both within Brewington and at other schools, Alston said.

The program is offering a fatherhood symposium in Columbia. It is open to the public, and if

an individual is a participant in the Fatherhood Initiative, transportation is provided, Alston said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Here’s how area members of Congress voted on major issues in the week ending March 15.

HOUSE STREAMLINED EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS: Voting 215 for and 202 against, the House on March 15 sent the Senate a Republican bill (HR 803) to consolidate 35 federal programs for job training, adult education and literacy education into a single, broad-based workforce program to be administered by the states as they see fit rather than

by Washington. The bill is a five-year renewal of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) to be funded at $6 billion annually through block grants controlled by governors. The WIA historically has used targeted grants to fund the vocational needs of specific populations. Under this bill, groups such as dislocated workers in search of new skills, the disabled, returning veterans, the poor and migrant workers would compete against one another for available funds.

Ted Yoho, R-Fla., said the bill “is not restrictive to any group, be it gender or race, but is for all Americans. This bill will allow people to find gainful employment in the marketplace. This is what America is in dire need of right now.�

A yes vote was to pass the bill.

This would be the first increase since 2009.

George Miller, D-Calif., said, “Let’s reward work for people who go to work every day in very difficult jobs, sometimes very dirty jobs, sometimes very demeaning jobs ... and at the end of the year they end up poor.�

John Kline, R-Minn., said, “We need jobs out there. The best approach right now is to get federal spending under control and government out of the way of the nation’s job creators.�

A yes vote was to raise the minimum wage.

Gowdy, Mulvaney, Rice (SC) Not voting: None DEMOCRATS’ WORKFORCE PLAN: Voting 192 for and 227 against, the House on March 15 defeated a Democratic alternative to HR 803 (above) that sought to retain but reform the existing Workforce Investment Act (WIA). Democrats proposed reviewing, pruning and consolidating the dozens of grant programs for specific populations. The Democratic plan also struck language in the GOP bill that would increase the business community’s representation on state workforce boards at the expense of seats held by non-business stakeholders such as unions and community colleges.

Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., said the Democratic plan “adds to the confusion of the dizzying maze of existing programs. We should be streamlining our nation’s workforce-development system, not making it more complicated for workers and job seekers.�

The policy allows states to try innovative strategies for moving individuals from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) to work so long as the result is a higher percentage of welfare recipients finding jobs. Republicans say the policy would weaken the law, while Democrats say it would increase hiring.

Dave Camp, R-Mich., termed it “critical that our laws both foster job creation (and) ensure welfare is always a pathway to work.�

Sander Levin, DMich., called the bill “a

pure fabrication� of the facts of administration’s welfare-to-work policy.

Economic growth was essentially flat in the fourth quarter of 2012 after reaching an annual rate of 3.1 percent in the third quarter. This amendment was offered to a bill (HR 933) still in debate that would fund the government between March 27 and Oct. 1 at an annual rate of $1.043 trillion.

Study: Radiation for breast cancer can harm hearts

BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE The Associated Press Women treated with radiation for breast cancer are more likely to develop heart problems later, even with the lower doses used today, troubling new research suggests. The risk comes from any amount of radiation, starts five years after treatment and lasts for decades, doctors found.

Patients shouldn’t panic — radiation has improved cancer survival, and that is the top priority, doctors say.

The chance of suffering a radiation-induced heart problem is fairly small.

For example, 4 to 5 of every 100 women who are 50 years old and free of heart risks will develop a major cardiac problem by age 80, and radiation treatment would add one more case, the research suggests.

Women also can do a lot to cut their risk by keeping weight, cholesterol and blood pressure under control.

Still, the study reveals that the potential harm from radiation runs deeper than many medical experts may have realized, especially for women who already have cardiac risk factors such as diabetes.

And it comes amid greater awareness of overtreatment — that many women are being treated for cancers that would never prove fatal, leading to trouble down the road such as heart disease.

Some chemotherapy drugs are known to harm the heart muscle, but the new study shows radiation can hurt arteries, making them prone to harden and clog and cause a heart attack. Women who receive both treatments have both types of risk.

The study “will raise the antenna” about the need to do more to prevent this, said Dr. David Slosky, a cardiologist at Vanderbilt University, one of the growing number of medical centers with special “cardio-oncology” programs for cancer survivors.

With today’s lower radiation doses, “it is less of a problem, but it is not going away,” he said.

The artery-related problems that the study tracked may be just the most visible of many risks because radiation also can cause valve, rhythm and other heart troubles, said Dr. Javid Moslehi. He is co-director of the cardio-oncology program at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.

Like cancer, heart disease develops after “a number of strikes that go against you,” such as high cholesterol, he said. “The radiation is just another hit.”

He wrote an editorial that appears with the study in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine. British government agencies and private foundations paid for the research.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women — more than a million cases are diagnosed each year worldwide. When it’s confined to the breast, most

women get surgery to remove the lump, followed by several weeks of radiation to kill any lingering cancer cells and sometimes hormone or chemotherapy.

What heart disease risks come from what specific doses isn’t known. The new study,

led by Dr. Sarah Darby of the University of Oxford in England, sought to measure that.

It involved 2,168 breast cancer patients from Sweden and Denmark diagnosed between 1958 and 2001 and treated with radiation. They included 963 women

who suffered a heart attack, needed an arteryopening procedure or died of heart artery-related causes in the years after their radiation treatment. The other 1,205 were similar patients who did not develop these heart problems.

Researchers com-

pared the women’s radiation exposures using gray units, a measure of how much is absorbed by the body. They used hospital records and treatment plans to figure how many gray units actually reached each woman’s heart and one artery often in-

volved in heart attacks.

Most women treated today get doses that result in 1 to 5 gray units reaching the heart — more if the cancer is in the left breast. Patients in the study got an average of five gray units; the doses ranged from 1 to 28.

CHESTNUT OAKS STUDENTS WALK TO SCHOOL Twenty Chestnut Oaks Middle School students, teachers and Principal David Laws Jr. walked from Salterstown Park to the school March 6 in honor of S.C. Walk to School Day. The group was escorted by two Sumter County Sheriff’s deputies as they walked along the side of Oswego Road. Those who passed by honked and waved as the students walked and talked on their way to school. This event was sponsored by Chestnut Oaks Student Council. The majority of Chestnut Oaks students either ride the bus or are transported by parents. Only three students consistently walk to school. The students and staff wanted to participate in this event because it was an opportunity to connect the community with the school.

From Associated Press reports

SCE&G warns of recent scams CAYCE — South Carolina Electric & Gas is warning customers of scam artists posing as company employees.

The utility said it’s received several reports of people portraying themselves as SCE&G employees over the phone.

In several instances, the individuals ask customers to buy a payment card from a local convenience or drug store, then call back with the

card’s information for immediate bill payment.

SCE&G said when employees call concerning an unpaid bill, they identify themselves and would not ask customers to purchase payment cards. Bill payments are accepted at SCE&G businesses offices, by mail, authorized payment agencies, online or by phone.

If customers are unsure of a caller or worker’s identity, they can call customer service at 1-800-251-7234.

Officials say man dead in dispute over dog COLUMBIA — Investigators in Lexington County said the suspect in the shooting death of a 56-year-old man was upset because his dog was struck and killed by a car.

Sheriff James R. Metts said William Rush Falls was killed as a result of a dispute involving the death of the dog owned by 19-year-old Jeffrey O’Neal Kight Jr. An arrest warrant

said Falls was standing in the kitchen of his home Wednesday when someone fired one round from a shotgun while standing outside in front of a glass window. Falls was struck in the neck and face.

Kight is charged with murder and possessing a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. He’s being held without bond in the

Lexington County Detention Center. It’s not known if he has an attorney.

School warns parents about bats in building GREENVILLE — Parents of children who attend a Greenville County elementary school are receiving warnings of bat sightings in the building.

The Greenville County School District used an automated calling system to notify Fountain Inn Elementary School parents about the bats appearing at the school again.

Oby Lyles, a spokesman for Greenville County Schools, said bats were seen Thursday coming and going through the gym’s exterior walls.

A world perspective on education

I

f your eyes glaze over when you hear “education reform,” then you’ll appreciate a new online tool developed

by The George Bush Institute, part of the The George W. Bush Presidential Center — www. bushcenter.org.

The center, located on the Graham campus of South- OSTEEN ern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, will open to the public on May 1, 2013.

According to the website, “The Bush Center, which houses the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum and the George W. Bush Institute, combines the nation’s 13th Presidential library and museum with a leading-

edge policy organization that continues the public service of President and Mrs. Bush.”

The site has a lot of fascinating information, including a tool that puts the nation’s schools in perspective. The Global Report Card — globalreportcard.org — shows the level of math or reading achievement by the average student in any district in the nation when compared to the achievement in a set of 25 developed countries.

According to a good explanation in The Atlantic Monthly, where I came across the story, “the score is presented as a percentile, which is the percentage of students in the comparison group who would have a lower level of achievement. For example, a percentile of 60 would mean that the average student in a district would be performing

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Despite negativity, we’re getting good news It seems that the trendy thing to do lately is to bash the school district and the government — but amid the negativity I believe it is important to point out some positivity that deserves praise! Here are some recent headlines from various news sources: “Osteen endorses Zais’s claim that “Sumter School District showed a solid ‘B’ rating which fell ‘above average’ as a whole among South Carolina schools”—The Item “Economy improving in most areas of US”—USA Today “Gold Drops From 2-Week High as Data Shows US Economy Improving”—BusinessWeek “‘Seller’s Market’ Developing As Housing Inventory Hits a 13-Year Low”—Forbes “As housing, job markets improve, homeowners spend on remodeling”—Boston Globe “Job gains cut unemployment to 7.7 pct., 4-year low”—The State Please don’t get me wrong, I am not celebrating any victory or pretending that any one person or political party is responsible. I just want to point out that for whatever reason we are getting good news and we should all be grateful and count our blessings to be Americans working together to make a better tomorrow … and every now and again it is good to hear some praise.

So for what it’s worth to all that apply, GREAT JOB! Keep up the good work!

ALLEN BAILEY Chairman Sumter County Democratic Party

Bible is also predictor of science to come I agree with Kenneth Ford’s assertion that “The Bible doesn’t contradict proven science” but it goes further.

The Bible is a book of prophecy of history in large part because it is concerned

COMMENTARY better than 60% of the students in the comparison group.”

So how do Sumter, Lee and Clarendon county schools fare when compared to the rest of the world? We have a lot of work to do, but at least we know it.

The study only goes through 2009, so the consolidated Sumter School District is not rated yet. Sumter Districts 17 and 2 are the only benchmark.

The former Sumter 17 had 8,664 students, with 65 percent receiving free or reduced price meals, and 70 percent minority.

The district’s percentile ranking of 27 in math means the average student in Sumter School District 17 would perform better than only 27 percent of the students in the international group. Sumter 17

| was in the 35th percentile in reading internationally. Sumter 17 was in the 35th percentile in math and 36th in reading when ranked in the U.S., and 38th and 41st in South Carolina.

The former Sumter 2 had 8,902 students, with 71 percent receiving free or reduced price meals, and 62 percent minority.

The district’s percentiles in math and reading were 27 percent and 34 percent internationally; 36 percent and 35 percent nationally; and 39 percent and 40 percent in South Carolina.

Clarendon 1 had 935 students, with 95 percent receiving aid and 98 percent minority.

The math and reading percentiles were 14 percent and 24 percent internationally, 20 and 25 percent nationally, and

with how to build a stable civilization and what will happen throughout history.

Those who read it in the last half of the 20th century know that much of it has changed from prophecy to history.

I would propose that the Bible is also a predictor of science to come.

In 1964 Penzias and Wilson were testing a new ultra sensitive microwave detector. Where ever they pointed it they found a 7.34 cm radio signal. This was the echoes of an explosion at the beginning of time, emitted by matter at 3.50 Absolute. This confirmed the prediction of the Big Bang theory.

Now I was fortunate that the only white public school in St. Petersburg, Fla., was a good one. We learned all about Einstein’s Laws of Relativity in 1952, 61 years ago. I just retired from ten years of teaching in South Carolina, and as best as I can find out, South Carolina has not gotten around to considering this, the greatest discovery of the early 20th century, to be that important. Having worked on atom smashers in 1952 through 1955, I can assure you that if you do not take Einstein’s laws into account in your engineering designs, they won’t work.

Einstein’s laws state that as something moves faster, its internal clock slows down. Since the Torah never looks back, its clock is on the leading edge of the exploding universe. Traveling at incredible speed, it took about 8 billion years for its clock to tick off 24 hours.

Four billion years for day two, and so on. So when some yo-yo asks you was the universe made in 13.75 +/.12 billion years or 6 days, you answer YES ! Are you talking Einsteinian time or stationary time? If you play the game right, you can show that the sneering liberal is the one who is ignorant.

It’s our duty to provide funding for education This letter is in response to a letter from Mr. William Heise Jr. a couple of weeks ago. Mr. Heise, I am sure no one likes to pay taxes, much less more than their fair share. I had to respond because I, too, was not educated in this county or state. I do not have children in the Sumter School District nor did my parents pay taxes here. Let me explain school taxes the way they were explained to me.

Today, I pay school taxes to repay for the cost of the education I received. The better education I receive, the better job I get, and the more money I make. This is

age of students getting free or reduced price meals is 84 percent, and 96 percent are minority students.

The stated goal of the Bush Center initiative is “to share the facts about the educational performance of U.S. students against their international peers and competitors to promote education reform and promote our nation’s ability to compete on a global playing field.”

The obvious, ongoing challenge for public education in Sumter, Lee and Clarendon counties is how we tackle these realities every day.

my part of keeping the system going. Heaven forbid that only the ones who can afford to send their children to school are the ones that can afford to pay. The entire community benefits from a good education system. Is ours perfect? Of course it’s not, but I believe every teacher works very hard every day to provide a quality education to every child regardless of the parent’s ability to pay.

It is our duty as responsible citizens to provide the funding to allow the children of our community the best education that can be provided with the limited amount of money the schools have to work with. I know that without the financial support of everyone, the school districts would not be able to function and do the job and provide the services they are mandated by

H.G. OSTEEN 1870-1955 Founder, The Item

law to provide.

On a final note, without our schools we would not have industries such as BD and Continental Tire willing to invest in our community.

As for the other taxes, I enjoy riding on safe roads. Yes, we pay taxes for that.

I do not know about you, but I could not afford to buy a big red fire truck, have it parked across from my house with a couple of firemen sitting in it 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in case my home caught on fire, or an armed security guard to watch my home all day every day. I am certainly glad that my taxes provide me with those services, if ever needed.

Mr. Heise, I hope this explains why I do not mind paying the school taxes today.

would have insisted on going to trial.

Others seeking similar relief this week include: • Devan Jevon Dwyer, 27, who was found guilty in April 2009 for attacking a 34-year-old woman and her then-boyfriend at the woman’s Silver Street home.

Third Circuit Judge R. Ferrell Cothran sentenced Dwyer to 30 years in prison for two counts of assault and battery with intent to kill, armed robbery, first-degree burglary and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. • John Raleigh Nelson Jr. pleaded guilty in February 2011 at the Clarendon County Courthouse to one count of committing a lewd act upon a child, garnering a 12-year sentence. That was suspended to three years, with additional stipulations for placement on the Sex Offender Registry and lifetime global positioning system (GPS) ankle bracelet monitoring. Nelson, a former educator, had been arrested Dec. 22, 2009, after the mother of a then 13-year-old girl told the Clarendon County Sheriff’s Department that Nelson had forced the girl to have sex with him while the woman was

| at work. • Randy Alan Yonson, 27, was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2007 for the Sept. 11, 2005, shootings of two deputies in the parking lot of a Pinewood Road nightclub. He had faced a maximum penalty of more than 100 years in prison. • Roshell Kelly, 30, pleaded guilty in 2010 to manslaughter for the June 10, 2005, beating death of 62-year-old Thomas “Sargeâ€? Taylor, receiving 25 years in prison from 3rd Circuit Judge George C. “Buckâ€?

James Jr. • Tervin Goodman, 22, entered guilty pleas in 2011 for murder and first-degree burglary in connection to the beating death of 67-year-old Mary Hunter. Goodman, according to authorities, used a ceramic vase to strike Hunter’s head and kill her and then took thousands of dollars in cash from a safe in Hunter’s home. • Mark McCoy, 45, was given a life sentence without possibility of parole in 2008 for the shooting death four years earlier of 36-year-old Donald Tyrone Pettis Jr. Police said McCoy shot Pettis in the back on Edwards Street after McCoy and another man jumped Pettis. • Donniel Woods was found guilty by a Clarendon County jury in October 2008 of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping and strong arm robbery, and Cothran sentenced him

to 30 years in prison.

Woods had been served with warrants for the offenses on June 29, 2007, a little more than a year after a Clarendon County woman told police Woods held her against her will and forced her to perform oral sex on him in his car near the area of Tearcoat and Brogdon roads in Alcolu. • Kareem Maurice Hickman, 28, was given a 20-year sentence for the murder of his 21-year-old brother, Lamar Tyreece Hickman, in 2009. The younger brother was shot at least five times and left to die on Thomas Street in Lee County’s Churchwood community, just outside the Bishopville city limits.

Lee County Sheriff Danny Simon said the shooting followed an argument over $15. • Nathaniel Bradley, 61, was sentenced to 30 years after a jury found him guilty of killing 39-year-old Ernest James, whose body was found May 23, 2005, in Boyles Pond, off St. Pauls Church Road. • Diane Elizabeth Brown, 51, of Hamilton, Ohio, pleaded guilty to felony driving under the influence and felony DUI with great bodily injury in connection with a motor vehicle wreck that killed 12-year-old Christian Schmidt.

Brown received a 12year sentence.

ORDAINED from Page A1 into the ministry. He started writing a book at the age of 9 and finished it shortly before he turned 12. And he began preaching at more than a dozen churches from Bishopville to Savannah, Ga. On Good Friday, Keishan will be giving his third consecutive “Good Friday� sermon at Weeping Mary Baptist Church on Camden Highway.

His grandmother, Gloria Scott, always brought Keishan and her other grandchildren to church in Sumter on Sunday mornings. Scott said Keishan wanted to become a preacher from the time he began talking. “As days go by, I think more and more that Keishan was ordained from the womb,� his grandmother said. “He would always ask me if he could be a preacher.

I said that I couldn’t make that call. Only God could make that call.�

One particular Sunday is etched into Keishan’s mind as the beginning of his journey as a Christian. “I really always thought of myself as a Christian,� he said. “But it was not until one Sunday morning when I received the gift of the Holy Ghost, that I knew something had changed inside me. I don’t remember the date, but I know I was 5 years old. It was an awesome feeling. It changed my life.�

Keishan soon began “playing church� with his sisters and cousins, his grandmother said. “They’re not really playing,� she said. “They are serious.�

At the age of 7, Keishan said God told him he shouldn’t wait to begin his ministry. “One night when I was praying, God called my name,� he said. “God said ‘Keishan, Your time is now.

Don’t let it pass you by.’�

Keishan said he immediately went to tell his grandmother. “She asked me if I was sure,� he said. “I told her that I was sure because it came from God.�

And Scott remembers her response to Keishan. “‘I told him, ‘you know, you can’t lie to God,’� she said.

A couple of years later, Keishan began writing a book. The book, Keys to the Kingdom, is published by Fountain of Life Publishing House in Atlanta. The book is now available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. “The book is God sent,� Keishan said. “It is to let people know what powers God has given them.�

Keishan’s first book took him almost three years to write, and he has already begun work on his second book. Keishan’s primary inspiration, he said, comes from prayer and reading the Bible. He also gains insight from

listening to other pastors: the current pastor at Grace, Overseer Anthony Gibson; and TV evangelists Janet Bynum and Brian Carn. “One day, I would like to be able to read the Bible from cover to cover,� he said. “And I want to earn my doctorate degree in theology.�

Keishan said his work in ministry has not affected his ability to be a 12-year-old and spend time with his friends. “My friends don’t treat me any different,�

Keishan said. “Now, they all know I’m a minister. They watch their language around me.�

Fifteen-year-old Te’era Garner said she is “very proud of her cousin.� “No other 12-yearold would ever think of writing a book or start preaching,� she said.

Keishan expects to see family members and friends in the congregation at Weeping Mary Baptist Church on Good Friday. And one in particular will likely be his 97-yearold great-grandmother, Rosa Lee Frierson. “I believe my family as a whole is blessed,�

Keishan said. “And one of my inspirations has been my great-grandmother (Rosa Lee Frierson). She always travels along with me when I go preach. No matter what I might be going through, she always gives me encouragement. And her favorite words are: ‘The Lord will make a way.’�

Hall celebrates newest members

BY DENNIS BRUNSON dennisb@theitem.com MANNING — There were many great achievements and accomplishments among the eight people inducted into the Clarendon County Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday, but they chose to be thankful moreso than discuss their accolades.

“Without you, I wouldn’t be in the position I’m in right now,” Fred Bennett, the former Manning High School and University of

South Carolina football standout, said to family and friends who attended the induction banquet at the Manning Junior High School gymnasium.

That was the tact chosen by the other inductees, Manning High and Citadel football standout and current Manning head coach Robbie Briggs, dirt track automobile racing legend Slick Gibbons, East Clarendon High School 3-sport standout Donald Hardy, Manning High and Clemson football

standout Brian Mance, Clarendon Hall standout and Clemson football player Carl Martin, Manning High and Wofford College girls basketball standout Jessica Ridgill and the late George Turbeville, a Major League Baseball pitcher in the 1930s.

USCS sweeps DH from Indians

SHS to host Magnolia Invitational on Monday

BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER mchristopher@theitem.com

BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS jdriggers@theitem.com University of South Carolina Sumter head baseball coach Tom Fleenor couldn’t help but smile, if ever so slightly, at the crooked numbers on the scoreboard at Riley Park.

“That’s a little more like it,” he said.

After watching the Fire Ants struggle offensively for the better part of a week, Saturday’s doubleheader against USC Salkehatchie provided a day of relief after USCS banged out 22 hits and scored 21 runs.

That – combined with four Fire Ant pitchers allowing zero earned runs on the day – led USC Sumter to a twinbill sweep of the Indians by scores of 11-1 in six innings in the opener and 10-1 in the second contest.

USCS, now 16-7 overall and 3-3 in Region X,

will host the Indians, who dropped to 13-13 and 2-4, in another doubleheader today at Riley Park beginning at 1 p.m.

“That was a little closer (offensively) to what we’re used to around here,” Fleenor said. “It was by no means perfect, but it’s a growing process. Hopefully this shows them the type of team and the type of offense they’re capable of being.”

The Fire Ants all but solidified wins in both games thanks to two 6-run innings. In the opener, USCS sent 10

Next up: a meeting Sunday with No. 9 Miami, the tournament’s top seed, with North Carolina’s 18th league tournament title on the line.

The Hurricanes’ regular-season sweep included a humiliating 26point win last month at Miami that led coach Roy Williams to make P.J. Hairston a starter and play with a smaller, quicker group.

“They haven’t seen us with our new lineup yet,” Bullock said. “We just have to get our face back.

After a dismal year in which Sumter High School’s varsity boys golf team failed to win a match, second-year head coach Matt Love wants the Magnolia Invitational, which runs LOVE Monday and Tuesday at Beech Creek Golf Club, to be a springboard for his team.

The 18-team event includes Camden, Conway, Carolina Forest, Clover, Heathwood Hall, Lexington, Nations Ford, Fort Mill, Oakbrook Prep, West Florence, West Ashley, Irmo, Ridge View, Spring Valley, Lugoff-Elgin and two teams from Fort Dorchester as well as host Sumter.

The Gamecocks have shown promise in the early going, having beaten Wilson Hall in a scrimmage and defeating Camden and Lugoff. The team also improved at the Carolina Forest Panther Invitational where it finished fifth out of 27 teams this year after being 19th a year ago.

“We’ve had some guys grow up,” Love said. “Last year we were really young and we have seasoned people who are in the lineup now.”

“Everybody is a year older, and then you throw in the mix Charlie (ranked 47th in the SCJGA) and (Bates Middle School seventh-grader) Dixon Flowers, we’re pretty good,” Love said. “I knew we’d be better this year, and the early success we’ve had I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I think the kids’

North Carolina’s Dexter Strickland (1) puts up a shot against Maryland’s Nick Faust (5) during the Tar Heel’s 79-76 semifinal victory in Saturday’s Atlantic Coast Conference tournament in Greensboro, N.C.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — North Carolina and its four-guard lineup have a chance at another Atlantic Coast Conference championship — thanks in part to a Maryland guard whose last-gasp shot fell way short.

Dexter Strickland and Reggie Bullock scored 15 points apiece, and the Tar Heels held on to beat the Terrapins 79-76 on Saturday in the league tournament semifinals.

He said it was his best finish in college. “It was very exciting,” he said. “I wished we could have played the second day too.”

“We knew the chances of getting rained out were good,” he said. “My ball striking was really good. I was hitting it

down the middle and hitting greens. If I had putted a little better, I think I could have had a chance to win.”

Jeff Withey had 17 points and nine rebounds, Perry Ellis and Naadir Tharpe added 12 points each, and the seventhranked Jayhawks pounded the No. 11 Wildcats 70-54 on Saturday night to win their ninth Big 12 tournament championship.

TULSA, Okla. — Donnie Tyndall got Southern Miss about as close as a team can get to clinching a trip to the NCAA tournament without actually doing it.

Selection Sunday will still be a nail-biter in Hattiesburg after the Golden Eagles allowed Chris Crawford to score 20 of his 23 points in the final 13 minutes and No. 20 Memphis beat Southern Miss 91-79 in double overtime Saturday in the Conference USA tournament title game.

Miami’s Durand Scott (1) drives to the basket against North Carolina State during the Hurricanes’ 81-71 victory in Saturday’s semifinals of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament in Greensboro, N.C.

Miami tops N.C. State 81-71 GREENSBORO, N.C. — Durand Scott knocked down the shots to turn away North Carolina State’s best pushes, and Shane Larkin provided the steady floor leadership that kept ninth-ranked Miami in control.

The backcourt that guided the Hurricanes to their first Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season championship now has them positioned to add the tournament title, too.

Scott scored a career-high 32 points to help the Hurricanes beat the Wolfpack 81-71 on Saturday in the ACC semifinals, earning the program’s first trip to the final.

Larkin added 23 for the topseeded Hurricanes (26-6), who before Saturday had had reached the ACC semifinals just once before — as a No. 12 seed making a surprise run before falling to eventual national champion Duke in 2010.

Now they’re heading to Sunday’s final to face the winner of the later semifinal between seventh-seeded Maryland and

ACC TOURNAMENT No. 3 seed North Carolina.

“We’re a very hungry team, and we want more and more,” Larkin said. “We’re not satisfied with winning the regular season. We want the ACC championship, and then eventually we want to make the national championship game.

We’re hungry, and we’re not going to settle for anything less.”

Miami led all day and by 19 points late in the first half against the fifth-seeded Wolfpack (24-10), who got within six after halftime but couldn’t dig out of that big hole.

Scott had a lot to do with that. The senior guard went 12 for 18 from the field and 5 for 8 from 3-point range to keep draining the energy from a home-state crowd wearing plenty of red.

Scott scored 21 points on 10-for-15 shooting as a freshman in the 2010 semifinal loss to the Blue Devils, then turned in an even bigger performance

| in the Greensboro Coliseum on Saturday.

“When I walk into this building, there’s a lot of security guards, a lot of media people, a lot of people that work for the ACC — I think they remember me,” Scott said. “They always come up to me like, ‘You remember this building and how (you did) your freshman year’ and things like that. ... But I just tell them that was the past. That game can’t win us the game today, yesterday or tomorrow. I’ve just got to go out there and do what I need to do for my team to win, and that’s what I did tonight.”

Scott scored 19 points in the first half, the last coming on two free throws for Miami’s biggest lead at 39-20. N.C. State cut the deficit to 12 at half then 50-44 on Scott Wood’s 3-pointer with 12 minutes left to re-energize a crowd that had gone silent with Miami’s early dominance.

Florida defeats Alabama 61-51 in SEC semifinals NASHVILLE, Tenn.

— Kenny Boynton scored 11 straight points during a 15-0 second-half run and No. 13 Florida overcame a 10-point, second-half deficit to beat Alabama 61-51 on Saturday in the Southeastern Conference tournament semifinals.

The top-seeded Gators (26-6) advanced to the Sunday championship game against Mississippi or Vanderbilt. Alabama (21-12), the tournament’s No. 4 seed, will spend Sunday waiting to learn its fate from the NCAA tournament selection committee.

Most mock brackets had Alabama on the wrong side of the NCAA tournament bubble at the start of the week. Even after beating Tennessee 64-62 on Friday in a battle of bubble teams, Alabama said it still had more work to do and was trying to take its fate out of the selection committee’s hands by earning the SEC’s automatic bid.

Alabama went 12-6 in conference play during the regular season, but the Tide hurt its cause by going 1-5 in December, including home nonconference losses to

UNC from Page B1 They definitely embarrassed us when we went down there ... and for us to have the opportunity to play against them on the last night before we go to the NCAA tournament is great.”

Hairston scored 13 points despite a heavily wrapped and injured left (non-shooting) hand for the third-seeded Tar Heels (24-9), but his missed free throw with 16 seconds left gave Maryland a chance to force overtime.

The Terps called time out with 10.9 seconds left, and Logan Aronhalt took the inbounds pass from Nick Faust and immediately launched a 30-foot airball.

Bullock snatched the ball and passed to Hairston, who was alone near midcourt, and the Tar Heels ran out the clock to clinch their league-record 32nd appearance in the title game.

Faust said the plan was to get the ball to

Held scoreless for the first 25 minutes, Boynton finished with a game-high 16 points. Patric Young

Aronhalt — a 44 percent 3-point shooter — with tournament MVP candidate Dez Wells the decoy. The Terps wanted to get a 3-pointer off before the Tar Heels could foul them and send them to the line for two shots.

“It was designed for me to get a 3. I just came off the screen a little too far away from the 3-point line,” Aronhalt said. “The shot was just too deep. ... I knew immediately it wasn’t going in.”

Alex Len had 20 points to lead seventh-seeded Maryland (22-12), which knocked off No. 2 Duke less than 24 hours earlier in the quarterfinals and nearly pulled off another upset.

The Terrapins trailed by 10 with just over 7 minutes left before rallying to make things tight down the stretch.

“The amazing thing was that we put ourselves in the position to have that chance,” coach Mark Turgeon said.

But every time they got too close, North Carolina had an answer.

Busch holds off Larson in Nationwide

BY JENNA FRYER The Associated Press BRISTOL, Tenn. — Kyle Larson’s first chance to get a big win in NASCAR ended with him claiming a controversial win.

With a KYLE BUSCH shot at grabbing his first Nationwide Series win Saturday, he wasn’t going to make that same mistake again.

Especially not against Kyle Busch.

Larson stalked Busch over the closing laps around Bristol Motor Speedway waiting to make a move. It came as they closed in on the finish line, and Larson made a last-gasp push on the high side that fell just short as Busch held on for his second win of the season.

But in chasing the win the right way, the 20-year-old Larson cleaned up some of the criticism that had followed him from Daytona last month after spinning C.E. Falk III on the final lap of the “Battle at the Beach” late model

“You certainly want to try to win races the right way,” Busch said.

“He played it smart today. That was good on his end. I think a lot of people have been looking at him to try to see if he’s going to be to a wrecker or a checker.

Today he didn’t get the checkers, but that’s how you get them. You drive into the corner, or drive into the back of me, I’m going to be here for a while and if he keeps coming up through the ranks, he’s not going to have fun dealing with me every week.

Hamlin fine puts NASCAR spotlight on Long’s plight

BY JENNA FRYER The Associated Press BRISTOL, Tenn. — Denny Hamlin’s recent refusal to pay his $25,000 fine has reawakened the plight of Carl Long, a driver who lacks the financial resources to HAMLIN settle his debt with NASCAR. Long’s career as a Sprint Cup Series driv- LONG er essentially ended when his team was penalized for having an illegal engine at the 2009 All-Star race.

Long’s crew chief was fined $200,000, an amount he was unable to pay.

Under NASCAR rules, the fine was reverted to the car owner, which was Long’s wife, DeeDee. Unable to drive

until the fine is paid, Long was still able to work in the Sprint Cup Series garage because his wife was technically responsible for settling the debt.

But last year, Long said NASCAR transferred the fine to his name and he’s no longer allowed inside the Cup garage.

“Last year at Daytona, they issued me as the driver the fine, and I couldn’t pay $200,000, so I was escorted out of the Cup garage,” Long said at Bristol Motor Speedway. “NASCAR basically let me know that anybody on the crew roster could be held responsible for the fine, all the way down to the tire guy. Anybody on the crew roster, they can leverage the fine against him, no matter who. Actually, no matter what, if you are signed in on a crew roster, you are hanging by a thread.”

Gen-6 car gets 1st test on short track at Bristol

BY JENNA FRYER The Associated Press BRISTOL, Tenn. — There’s an expectation from fans that a ticket to Bristol Motor Speedway will get them a seat to NASCAR’s version of the Roman Colosseum.

They got one of those throwback, rock ‘em, sock ‘em races last August, when changes to the track surface forced drivers to get aggressive again and caused tempers to flare. Now, a month into a new Sprint Cup season, NASCAR could use another race like that.

Sunday’s race will be the fourth for the new Gen-6 car, and the first this season on a short track. It could be the spark NASCAR needs at a time everyone seems to be holding their breath.

“Everybody is on egg shells.

Drivers are on egg shells. I think the fans are on egg shells.

The media is on egg shells. The sanctioning body is on egg shells,” defending champion Brad Keselowski said. “You get the collective sense in this sport that everyone is feeling a lot of pressure and if we don’t have a perfect week every week everybody just kind of shakes down in their boots. So I think, right now, every week is a big week in this sport.”

This week, nobody knows what to expect at a track once beloved for its action-packed racing and drama it produced.

But a reconfigured racing surface in 2007 altered Bristol into two racing grooves, sometimes three, and drivers could race side-by-side around the tight bullring for the first time.

Without a need to forcefully use the front bumper to navigate through traffic, the drivers thoroughly enjoyed the new Bristol.

Fans absolutely hated it, and the track that boasted 55 consecutive sellouts suddenly had swaths of open seats.

had seen enough last March and ordered grinding to the top groove in an effort to tighten up the track and recreate the old Bristol racing. He got some of that in August, and the drama, too: Tony Stewart angrily threw his helmet at Matt Kenseth after contact between the two knocked Stewart out of the race.

Race winner Denny Hamlin thinks Sunday will be even better.

“The lower line has got more grip than I’ve ever felt here in the past,” Hamlin said. “I think we’re going to see one of the best races we’ve seen in a long time here because the low line does have a lot of grip, and we know everyone is going to start making their way higher just to make their car work, so it’s going to be a good mix of both I believe.”

he’d pay and angry fans rallied to his defense.

Hamlin this week announced he would not appeal the penalty, but still won’t pay; NASCAR plans to settle the matter by garnishing the wages from his race winnings.

Fans, meanwhile, still want to see what exactly Hamlin said that was so wrong about the car.

Bristol could be the track that proves the car is very racy, even though pole-sitter Kyle Busch thought last week’s race at Las Vegas was decent and there’s no need to stress over the success of today.

“I think that we actually put on a good show last week in Vegas where there was a lot of good racing,” Busch said. “I thought there was good racing throughout the field. I don’t think this weekend here in Bristol needs to be a savior at all. I think we all just need to go out here and put on a good show and enjoy Bristol for what Bristol is and see what happens today.”

Gamecocks split doubleheader with Missouri, take series 2-1 COLUMBIA, Mo. – Missouri raced out to a 3-run lead in the first two innings, and behind a combined three pitchers, earned a 4-0 win over fifthranked South Carolina in the final game of a three-game SEC series at Taylor Stadium on Saturday.

USC senior left-hander Nolan Belcher hurled 8 1/3 scoreless innings and combined with senior left-hander Tyler Webb for a 5-hit shutout as the Gamecocks defeated the Tigers 2-0 in game one.

The loss in game two snapped South Carolina’s 10-game winning streak. USC is now 17-3 and 2-1 in the SEC with Missouri 6-9 and 1-2.

Carolina is back in action on Tuesday night traveling to Charleston for a non-conference contest with The Cita-

“I’ve lived in Clarendon County all of my life, and this honor really means a lot to me,” Gibbons said.

Mance, who was an All-Atlantic Coast Conference performer at Clemson, reflected on what led up to his induction.

“This whole thing started with us playing a game in front of my grandmother’s house,” Mance said. “That’s all it was. Now I’m standing up here in front of you receiving this award, but it just started out as a game.”

Ridgill played for John Thames, the winningest girls basketball coach in South Carolina history, at Manning High and for Premuel Gibson at Manning Middle School. She thanked them for everything they taught her both on and off the court.

“I hope I can be as inspirational to my players as you were to me,” said Ridgill, the former girls head coach at Erskine College and currently an assistant at Wofford.

Briggs was a standout linebacker for Manning’s 1988 3A state championship football team. He then went on to The Citadel, where he was an All-Southern Conference linebacker as a senior on the Bulldogs’ ‘92 SoCon championship team.

“We had a great coach in Coach (Charlie) Taaffe and his coaches, and there were two things they taught us,” Briggs said. “Good things happen to

people who work hard, and anybody can beat anybody on any given day, and we proved that quite a bit.”

Of course, everyone was thanking their families, parents in particular, but Hardy had a funny story about his mother.

“My mother went to every one of my games,” said Hardy, a 3-sport star at EC who signed to play baseball with the New York Yankees out of high school.

“There was one night I was playing and I was playing terrible. There was one of those “sideline coaches” yelling, ‘Get him out of there; he’s the worst quarterback ever at East Clarendon.’

“Well, I was even worse in the second half, but I didn’t hear the “sideline coach.” After the game I asked Van Green what happened to him. Van said, ‘Your mother took care of him.’”

Martin, who was part of Clemson’s ‘81 national championship team, thanked all of the people who have helped him along in his life.

“I’m being inducted into this hall of fame, but all of you are in my hall of fame,” said Martin, now a preacher.

Turbeville, who pitched for the Philadelphia Athletics from 1935-37, was inducted posthumously. Wright Turbeville, a retired judge who lives in Wyboo, accepted on his brother’s behalf.

“George, thank you for all of the memories,” said Wright Turbeville, who grew up in the town of Turbeville with his 14 brothers and sisters. “Thank you for giving us an ideal by which to be inspired in our lives.”

Leonard in 3-way tie for lead at Innisbrook PALM HARBOR, Fla. — Justin Leonard walked toward the 12th green Saturday at Innisbrook and saw a scoreboard that showed he was tied for the lead in the Tampa Bay Championship. He knocked in his 8-foot birdie putt, assumed he was ahead, and then never looked at another board the rest of the day.

Streelman finished his 6-under 65 nearly three hours before the last group walked off the 18th green.

Leonard ran off four birdies in a five-hole stretch around the turn and had the lead to himself before a bogey from the bunker on the 15th.

Coetzee bounced back from his lone bogey with a birdie on the rowdy 17th hole, where Hooters waitresses serve wings in the grandstands. That gave him a 68.

MIYAZATO LEADS FOUNDERS

Justin Leonard hits from the 18th fairway during Saturday’s third round of the Tampa Bay Championship golf tournament in Palm Harbor, Fla. Leonard is in a 3-way tie for first headed into today’s final round.

them in 2009.

Wandy Rodriguez pitched six innings, and three relievers completed a three-hitter to help the unbeaten Dominican Republic top Puerto Rico 2-0 Saturday.

Both teams had already qualified for the semifinals in San Francisco, and the game merely determined seedings. Puerto Rico plays two-time defending champion Japan on Sunday night, and the Dominicans face the Netherlands on Monday night, with the winners advancing to

USCS from Page B1 men to the plate in the bottom of the fourth – five of whom came away with hits. There were four singles, a double and a perfectly executed suicide squeeze bunt by Dylan McConnell thrown in for good measure.

“I think we were finally picking better pitches to hit today,” outfielder Josh Bowers said. Bowers had five combined hits to lead USCS along with four runs batted in. He was 3-for-4 in game one and 2-for-3 with a walk in game two.

“We’ve been working hard in practice getting extra cuts in and we finally made something happen today,” he said.

The second big inning occurred in bottom of the fourth of game two. This time two walks, two errors and a couple of passed balls provided the Fire Ants with ample opportunities to score.

“That’s something we haven’t seen a lot of either, though,” Fleenor said.

“We haven’t been able to really take advantage when the other team has left the door open for us and we were able to do that today.

“I think Salkehatchie is much better than what they showed today as well.

They played well against Spartanburg (Methodist College) last week, so we know what they’re capable of doing.”

Will Thompson had two hits including a double and scored three times on the day for USCS. Trevor Bradley collected three hits and an RBI, Brad Johnson had two hits including a dou-

HEAT WIN 21ST IN A ROW

LeBron James and Chris Bosh each scored 28 points, and Miami kept its win streak going, beating the Bucks 10794.

Only three other teams have won 20 in a row in one season, and the Heat now trail just the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers (33) and the 2007-08 Houston Rockets (22) after moving ahead of the 1970-71 Bucks.

ble and an RBI and Joey Wilson had a pair of hits and four walks, scoring twice.

Matt Peden went 2-for-3 in the opener with three runs driven in, including a sacrifice fly and an RBI double. Ryan Perkins doubled, drove in two, scored twice and had two hits for the Fire Ants in game two.

The surge in offense provided more than enough support for USCS pitching – especially game one starter Marlin Morris. Morris allowed just two hits and struck out 11 in six innings of work to pick up the win. The only blemish on the scoreboard came in the fourth inning via an error to begin the frame.

It was the only Indians runner that made it past second base during the opener.

“My curveball was working really well,” Morris said. “That what the plan was, to just keep them off balance and let the infield make plays and they did.

That was working and obviously the bats came out in a big way today.”

Game two starter Matt Poole picked up the win as well. He allowed one unearned run on four hits in four innings with three strikeouts, two walks and a hit batsman. JR Black pitched a solid two innings with no runs allowed and Jaime Strock closed out the seventh.

“That’s probably as good as I’ve ever seen Marlin pitch, and Matt might have the best stuff of anyone on the team,” Fleenor said. “I think when Matt figures things out and Marlin really grows into that ace role, we’re going to throw a lot of tough weekends at teams.”

Understanding the fruitful fire

W

hen I was young, I remember arriving home to find Mom’s face was awash with concern and intent. She told me there was a fire down in the pinewoods below the neighborhood. We were evac- JENKINS uating. I remember feeling intrigued by it all. The seriousness never set in until some of my closest friends lost their homes to the flames.

I walked the woods afterward to find the charred remains of several animals. Most vivid is the memory of a turtle, too slow and steady to win the race.

While the forest seemed strikingly verdant only a year or two afterward, “destruction” was still the word I most associated with this process, and I viewed it with disgust in the years that followed. However, fire has a life eternal, and

in time I came to view it differently, as a force still fierce, but surprisingly supportive of life, especially here in our piney woods.

Indeed, we have scores of native plants and animals that are adapted, if not dependent upon, fire. This strikes my students as counterintuitive, and it is, until you unravel the life histories of these species that have settled in South Carolina.

One that tells the story well is the Longleaf Pine. Once occupying some 90 million acres, including the majority of the southeastern Coastal Plain, Longleaf gained attention for its ability to produce naval stores: tar, pitch, turpentine and rosin. Because of this and other pressures, the forest soon dwindled, and only about three percent remains. Locally, it is actively maintained in places such as Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge and Lynchburg Savanna Heritage Preserve.

IN BRIEF

|

Longleaf seeds are large compared to others, containing a copious supply of energy in the endosperm, the part you enjoy when eating a pecan or a sunflower seed. This endosperm gives the plant the strong start needed to become established before a fire, which historically occurred frequently, perhaps every three years in spring or summer.

Oddly enough, seeds germinate in the fall and must contact bare earth to do so. Growing-season fires, originally brought to the forest by lightning, provided this service by burning old plant ma-

terial from years past and exposing the sandy soil. Once sprouted, the taproot begins its long development underneath the ground.

Above, a dense and robust assemblage of needles forms around the terminal bud, the most important and vulnerable structure on the plant. Called the “grass stage,” this growth form is a vital adaptation to fire. The needles surrounding the bud insulate it from the fire by sacrificing themselves, while the bud usually persists.

When the taproot is established, the tree shoots up, sometimes several feet in one

growing season, carrying the terminal bud to safety well above the height of a potential fire. For further security, Longleaf has fire resistant bark. Finally, each year the tree drops piles of long needles filled with flammable resins. On the forest floor, these needles become the very fuel the fire uses in its travels.

In these ways and others, Longleaf Pine tolerates and even promotes fire. It is one of many species in this ecosystem to perform such feats. Some do not even set flower or drop seed without first being scorched by fire, the trigger that tells them when conditions are right. Many of these other fire-adapted species are grasses and herbs. Fire tends to promote them while minimizing the growth of other tree species that make the forest dense and shady. In this way, fire promotes an open landscape, making sunlight available to the short plants. This ecosystem

often exists in low, wet areas across the Coastal Plain, meaning that both water and sunlight are available to all species. Depending on the size of the area one assesses, this combination results in a plant diversity rivaling that of tropical ecosystems.

None of this would be possible without a process I once considered only catastrophic.

Nature is full of curious contrasts: night and day, spring and fall, high tide and low.

While one process appears to take away from the other, the opposite is true, and nature needs both for the fulfillment of life. Fire is no different, caught in a timeless dance, where life feeds its flames, and its flames feed life.

Pee Dee Research and Education Center to host dove field management workshop

Fighting the good fight ... for stripers

A dove field management workshop will be held at 6 p.m. March 26 at the Pee Dee Research and Education Center in Florence.

Topics to be covered include planting, maintenance, weed control and updates on regulations. The Dove Band-

N

FISHING REPORT Santee Cooper System Catfish: Fair. In both lakes the catfish bite has been inconsistent, with fish feeding well some days and other days being a little slower. After a prolonged period of low water temperatures the catfish’s metabolism will inevitably slow and they will feed less. Move from deep to shallow water depending on the location of the fish. Try drifting gizzard shad chunks or anchoring with cut baits, and don’t be afraid to look shallow. Crappie: Fair. With the cold water crappie fishing has dropped off, and fish are in a winter pattern. Fish are moving out of brush and moving along the ledges and creek channels.

Lake Murray Crappie: Fair to good. Lake Murray crappie fishing has been feast or famine recently, and on some days anglers are wearing the fish out and then the next day no one seems to get a bite. Most anglers are concentrating on the Kempson’s Bridge area up the lake and tight-lining in 10 to 12 feet of water. Purple and yellow jigs are the go-to color. Catfish: Fair to good. Blue cat bite is inconsistent from day to day, and the fish seem to be scattered and moving a lot. Best action is coming for channel and white catfish, which are holding in 10 to 15 feet of water on flats adjacent to the channel. Drifting cut herring is most effective. Largemouth Bass: Slow. Anglers fishing recent tournaments have had tough time, and just weighing in a fish has usually been enough to at least put you in the middle of the pack. Despite warmer air temperatures bass have stayed deep; try Carolina rigging with green worms or fishing Tennessee shad or shad colored crankbaits.

Lake Wateree Catfish: Good. Catfish are scattered across the mudflats

in 18 to 20 feet of water. Fresh gizzard shad or cut perch are among the most productive baits, and perfect bait sized 4 to 5 inch gizzard shad are thick in the channel and can be cast netted with a heavy cast net of 8 foot diameter or more. Look for the continuous band of bait from 20 to 30 feet down. Striped Bass: Fair.

Striped bass fishing has slowed considerably in the last couple of weeks although live shiners or herring in the lower part of the lake will still produce. Look for schools of bait in the Colonel’s Creek area.

Largemouth Bass: Slow. Lake Wateree bass fishing remains difficult and the fish seem to be turned off. Try finesse fishing very slowly with soft plastics, or slow roll spinnerbaits along the bottom.

Lake Greenwood Catfish: Good. Drift cut bait across shallow flats at these times. A cold snap will push the baitfish back out to deeper water and slow the fishing considerably. Crappie: Good. Crappie action has been good at the forks of the Reedy and Saluda Rivers, and also below the 72 Bridge in the Quarters Creek area. Drifting and spider rigging in 12 to 20 feet using worms and jigs seems to be the ticket.

Striped Bass: Fair. Few striper reports are coming in, but the best striper action is being reported jigging spoons in 25 feet of water. There is still some schooling activity being reported.

Lake Monticello Catfish: Good. Patience is very important right now to catching big blues on Monticello.

The most consistent way to catch big fish is to anchor on humps with baitfish nearby when you are marking fish underneath them; it make take the catfish a long time to feed, but eventually they will.

Again, the circle hook did its job and caught the fish in the corner of the mouth where it could be unhooked quickly and released with a minimum of stress on the fish. That old girl will more than likely swim on up the river and back again.

Next year, she should be a keeper.

While neither of the two stripers I caught that evening were a “take home” type of fish, I was glad to see that there were two different age groups involved. That leads me to believe that striper fishing will be around for a few more years anyway.

No, I can’t say that the stripers have moved out of the flats and into the river, but I can tell you that there are enough in the river to warrant your attention. I will continue to fish the river until convinced otherwise.

I have not caught a keepingsized striped bass in some fiveodd years, but I’ve caught a lot of smaller fish. Maybe this is the year that the big ones show up.

Let’s keep trying.

t may be the most fun her dancers have all year, Andrea Freed-Levenson says of the Sumter Civic Dance Company’s spring concert.

“It’s just so much fun,” she said. “We do just about every style of dance you can think of in this concert, even disco.”

The title of the March 22 and 23 concert is “All We Want to Do is Dance,” and that indicates the exuberance audience members will see in the dancers once they hit the Patriot Hall stage, Freed-Levenson promises.

She thinks the desire to dance permeates most of the population.

In addition to the TV dance shows — “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Dancing with the Stars,” among others — “You see it in the flash mobs, the Harlem Shake,” she said. “People just want to get up and move.

You just can’t contain yourself sometimes.”

That’s especially true of her company, Freed-Levenson said.

“They’re well-rounded dancers who can do almost any kind of dance, and they love it,” she said. “The spring concert is one of their favorites because anything goes. You’ll see tap,contemporary, jazz, hip hop, swing, Irish step, although our swing this year will be more ballroom. It’s set to ‘Sway’ by Mi-

chael Bublé.”

“Eight or 10 of the numbers will be those we’re taking to Spoleto this year,” Freed-Levenson said. “We’re also doing the North Charleston Arts Festival.”

Freed-Levenson is chief choreographer for the company, and Erin Levenson and Andrea Barras Govier have choreographed additional pieces for the spring concert.

Govier and Levenson collaborated on “Move It Like This,” which features several Freed School performing groups — Sprites, Junior Company, Teen and Senior Company.

Sumter School District News STUDENTS HONORED BY DAR

The Sumter Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) sponsored its annual American History essay contest for students in grades five through eight.

Students in each grade wrote on the topic of “Forgotten Patriots of the American Revolution,” but the length requirement of the essays varied among different grade levels. Two Sumter School District students were named local winners.

Bates Middle School eighth-grader Katherine Norman was named the winner of the contest for the Sumter Chapter of the DAR. Her essay was titled “The Little Known Exploits of Women in the American Revolution.”

Pocalla Middle School fifth-grader Christopher Baxley won for his grade level. The students were recognized at a recent DAR meeting and received a certificate and medal. Both essays have been submitted to the South Carolina DAR where they will now compete at the state level.

The DAR also sponsors the Good Citizenship Award competition, open to high school students.

The three winners competed against each other and students from local private and parochial students. The overall winner was Claire Margaret O’Loughlin from Crestwood. She was recognized at the local level and will now compete at the state level.

BATES STUDENTS COMPLETE PROJECT

Students in Laura Baker’s art classes at Bates Middle School completed a Bead for Life project recently. The funds for the project were provided from a Sumter Education Foundation minigrant.

The students learned about the program, which helps women in Uganda, Africa, support their families by making

beads that are sold through the program. “The Bead for Life program is also one of the International Baccalaureate service projects at Sumter High School, and so I thought it fitting to share with our IB Middle Years Program students here at Bates,” said Baker.

Students also learned about life in Uganda and how the paper beads are made. They finished the project making a paper bead bracelet of their own.

When asked about the success of the project, Baker said, “The results were great. I knew students would be creative but of course, they amazed me still. They made some really beautiful pieces, and they also learned a unique skill.”

An advertisement for Boyle Co. that ran in the Watchman and Southron in January 1916 is seen.

.B. Boyle was born in Fairfield County, S.C., and began handling horses on the farm. He came to Sumter as a lad of 14 and demonstrated that he loved a horse next to his fellowman. He began the market business years ago and became interested in the busy Citizens’ Meat Market near the Jervey House.

Mr. Boyle built a great horse and mule market by using good judgment, untiring energy and enterprise; he deserved all the success he obtained and more, too. He has been happy also in choosing his lieutenants in business so that it is always harmonious and satisfactory to all concerned, and as a citizen he was always Sammy public-spirited, enWAY couraging the advancement of town and country. His reputation as a humane man was known to the afflicted and the poor at all seasons; he was a cheery, sunshiny gentleman.

His skills as a businessman were displayed when he brought in $6,000 worth of wagons, buggies, harness and machinery in one month and enjoyed a great trade all the year. His business, having several important lines, occupied commodious yards, stables, warehouses and paddocks and carriage repositories; one year he

Abbreviated version of Boyle’s obituary

T

he people of Sumter were shocked this morning when it became known that W.B. Boyle, one of Sumter’s foremost citizens and former mayor, had died at his home at about 9:30 o’clock last night from a stroke of apoplexy.

William Belton Boyle was a native of Fairfield County, where he was born Jan. 4, 1861. He came to Sumter in 1891, and has been living in this city since that time, always being engaged in the livestock business. During the time he has lived here, Mr. Boyle has done an extensive business and has become well known throughout Sumter, Lee and Clarendon counties through his business dealings with farmers of those counties. He was president of the W.B. Boyle Co., president of the Farmers’ Gin Co., president of the Citizens’ Meat Market, president of the Greeleyville Life Stock Co. and a director of the National Bank of South Carolina. For many years he was a leading businessman of Sumter, and his death will be a severe blow to the city. Besides being a businessman, he was a public-spirited citizen; no

enterprise for Sumter betterment ever went unsupported by him. He was known widely in his business for the readiness with which he turned his ear to hear tales of distress, and hundreds of farmers in Sumter and other counties will testify to accommodations which he has done them in their business dealings with him, accommodations which were generally prompted by his unfailing kindness of heart, even sometimes when he knew that it was not good business.

Besides being a leading businessman, Mr. Boyle always took a great interest in public affairs, especially those which concerned local affairs, although he always took a lively interest in state politics as well. In Sumter Mr. Boyle served on the city council three terms. He was then elected mayor and served in that capacity for two terms, serving the city with eminent success.

Mr. Boyle was a member of practically all of the lodges and secret orders. He was a member of Claremont Lodge, No. 64, A.F.M. for many years.

This order will conduct the

sold over 300 wagons and nearly 200 buggies of the best makes.

His buildings and lots strung along two streets and different blocks; some of the structures were made two stories as extensions as additions became immediately necessary.

Mr. Boyle was the most extensive livestock dealer in Sumter County; he sold over 200 head of horses and mules in a short period and accommodated 125 animals under cover at a time. He also had a livery stable with 15 head of speedy, docile and handsome equines; his livery was an enjoyable and profitable enterprise.

He handled baled hay and feed for wholesale; he grew oats, peas and corn for his stock on his own farm.

In 1903 he handled 1,200 tons of cotton seed meal, and with a warehouse strategically located by the railway, he bought 1,600 tons of cotton seed. His harness trade was big enough for an exclusive establishment, and his sales of horse plows and all needed implements and machinery for local farms were important factors in causing his business to be a constant scene of commercial transaction. His trade extended over

funeral services tomorrow.

He was a member of Gamecock Lodge, K. of P., which order he served as chancellor commander; he was also a member of the Red Men and the Woodmen of the World, which he served as a sovereign commander.

Mr. Boyle married Miss Mary A. Barnes of Kershaw County, who died several years ago. He is survived by one brother, Mr. T.W. Boyle of Greeleyville; two sisters, Mrs. J.N. Brown of Sumter and Mrs. R.R. Jeffries of Blythewood; and the following sons and daughters, Messrs.

W. Ladson, Walter C., Edwin B., A. Barnes, C. Rowland, and Thomas B., Mrs. J.F. Haselden, Greeleyville, Misses Emma and Martie, Sumter.

The funeral services will be conducted from the late residence on Broad Street at 11 o’clock tomorrow, Friday morning and will be conducted by Claremont Lodge A.F.M., assisted by the Rev. R.S. Truesdale of Trinity Methodist Church, of which the deceased was a member.

— From The Daily Item, Oct. 5. 1916

Sumter, Lee, Clarendon, Kershaw, Florence and other counties; farmers in Clarendon stated that the best mules in that county were bought from Boyle.

He served as an Alderman for the city, and he showed a progressive spirit and a desire to further the interests of Sumter at every opportunity.

W.A. Brown was accountant and auditor of the W.B. Boyle interests. He was considered a thorough business man and gracious gentleman. Boyle was ably aided in clerical affairs by H.L. Witherspoon who possessed the indefatigable energy of his remarkably successful brothers. J.N. Brown was known over the state as a preeminent livestock man and had complete charge of that department. Brown had the character traits which made him universally popular and the Boyle business exceptionally successful.

Mr. Boyle, as the general manager showed that he could administer affairs in a safe, prompt and highly popular manner.

Local businessman donates more than $250K to Rotary

BY BRADEN BUNCH bbunch@theitem.com Ron Morton has found great success in the business world. Through that success, he’s making concerted efforts to see others are successful in life as well.

A recent large donation to the Rotary Foundation made Morton a member of the organization’s exclusive Rotary International Arch Klumph Society, making him the second person from Sumter out of only about 350 people worldwide to be recognized.

To become eligible, donors must give at least $250,000 to help with the various charitable efforts of the Rotary.

Donors are allowed to direct how their finances are used, and Morton, a former Peace Corps volunteer during his final year of college, has asked a majority of the money be used to fund the Rotary Peace Centers.

At these academic centers worldwide — the closest locations at Duke MORTON University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill — graduate students who already have several years of work experience are granted fellowships to study conflict resolution.

For Morton, the donation was simply an example of holding true to his per-

sonal ideologies.

“I don’t believe government should be doing everything,” Morton said. “If you believe that, then you have to give yourself. If I believe that government shouldn’t do it, if I believe the people should do it, then I should step up and do it.”

Choosing to give money to Rotary was a way, Morton said, for his personal financial gains to have a strong impact.

“I just don’t want to someday die and be the richest man in the graveyard,” Morton said, adding, “You have to worry about where you give it, and I know Rotary isn’t going to waste it.”

The Rotary donation

isn’t the only charitable effort Morton has made recently to promote community involvement.

Recently, the 65-year-old owner of the Sumter H&R Block franchise — who also owns 61 other franchises in five states, making him the largest franchise owner within the company — also endowed new scholarships at both the University of Dayton, the college in his hometown, and his alma mater, Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tenn.

These scholarships will be awarded to student athletes studying business and participating in non-revenue generating sports, Morton said. As part of the scholarships, the students

receiving them have to agree that later in life to become active in charitable efforts.

“We instill to all scholarship recipients that they are to give back, and they’re to get involved in their community,” Morton said.

Still, the local businessman says his donations are driven by more than altruism. It’s the thought that his efforts could make a difference, however great or small it might be, in the lives of others, and the joy that comes from that.

“It’s the feeling that what I’ve done helps people that I don’t even know,” Morton said.

Mitsubishi branch president, officials make stop in Sumter

BY BRADEN BUNCH bbunch@theitem.com The ongoing development of a vigorous supply chain will be the key to the automotive industry continuing to grow in Southern states, the president of Mitsubishi Motors North America said while visiting Sumter this week.

Yoichi Yokozawa, president and CEO of the American arm of the Japanese automotive manufacturer, was in South Carolina to attend a press conference at the Statehouse regarding South Carolina Electric Vehicle Awareness Day. After the conference, he and other company officials traveled to Sumter to visit Goodwin Mitsubishi and owner Cliff Goodwin, who serves as the chairman of Mitsubishi dealers for the National Automotive Dealers Association.

“South Carolina is developing itself, very quickly, with an automotive supply base,” Yokozawa said.

While Mitsubishi established an American automotive plant in the 1980s in Illinois —

near the traditional American automotive industry hub in the Midwest — and recently announced plans to double production at its Normal, Ill., location, Yokozawa said the growing list of suppliers in the South, coupled with labor capabilities, has been very important for foreign companies when determining where to locate future plants.

“Automotive factories don’t stand alone.

You need a supply chain of component suppliers. It’s very important to have a strong supplier base in the Southern states,” Yokozawa said.

This is true as the American market continues to change, the company president said, as he thinks the American market will continue to demand higher fuel efficiency vehicles, including the electric vehicles he was in the state to promote. Along those lines, Yokozawa said the Palmetto State is positioning itself well.

“South Carolina is one of the advanced, forward-thinking states promoting electric vehicles,” Yokozawa said,

make the market for these types of cars continue to grow.

According to the

Electric Drive Transportation Association, electric vehicles are currently about 3.8

percent of the American market. And while it will not become the primary form of personal transportation anytime soon, Yokozawa says he thinks that will continue to grow.

“Electric vehicles will find its niche,” Yokozawa said. “I don’t think it’s going to be mainstream. I don’t think it’s going to be a 30-percent-of-marketshare kind of vehicle.”

Colleges say federal cuts could cause brain drain BOSTON (AP) — At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, faculty fret about the future of the school’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center.

Thirty miles away, administrators at the state university campus in Lowell worry that research aimed at designing better body armor for soldiers could suffer.

The concerns have emerged because of automatic federal budget cuts that could reduce government funding for research done at educational institutions, spending that totaled about $33.3 billion in 2010, Department of Education statistics show. And the possible cuts add to another anxiety at those schools and others across the country: brain drain.

are ongoing, the timing and size of many cuts to be made by government agencies remain unclear.

“One of the questions we don’t know is if agencies will elect to cut funding by not making new grants or cutting back on old grants,” said Terry Hartle, a senior vice president at American Council on Education.

In the meantime, professors are left wondering how many young scientists will become discouraged by domestic funding challenges and either leave for careers abroad or change fields.

At MIT, doctoral candidate Nikolai Begg said he’s lucky the research he’s working on now has corporate sponsorship.

“It’s kind of scary to be hearing that a lot of that support is going away,” he said of government cuts. “How do

we keep America technologically relevant has been a question on everybody’s mind. And the sequester only makes that harder.”

The 25-year-old mechanical engineer recently won a $30,000 Lemelson-MIT award for inventions that aim to make surgical procedures less invasive. But Begg is concerned about whether government funding losses could force undergraduates who are contemplating higher degrees to enter the workforce for financial reasons, meaning a loss of American ingenuity in the end.

“I wonder if this whole issue is going to prevent people from going into more advanced research where they can really innovate. We don’t really know what it’s going to do yet. There’s not enough information out. You know the storm is coming.”

Sometimes things get a little Meeting in 'The Middle' tough living in ‘The Middle’

By Candace Havens © 2013 FYI Television, Inc.

"The Middle," airing Wednesday at 8 p.m. on ABC, is about a family who takes the hard knocks life gives them with a laugh. Frankie Heck (Patricia Heaton) is a wife to the unflappable Mike (Neil Flynn).

She's also a mom to three interesting children. Axl (Charlie McDermott), a slacker who always seems to land on his feet, Sue (Eden Sher) tries so hard at everything she does, but failure is almost always imminent. And then there's the quirky Brick (Atticus Shaffer), who reads a lot and has an interesting perspective on life.

The Heck household is never boring. Money worries are abundant, and things never quite seem to go their way. Some of the stories could be taken from any middle class family's life, and yet, they're dealt with a humorous and loving way.

It's a big year for Axl, who is graduating high school. "It's great to have those milestones because it sort of sends the show - you know, lets you explore different things, different directions," says executive producer DeAnn Heline.

"But he will be graduating from high school. He will be going to college next year, and we do have a way of - he'll still be, obviously, very integral, very much a part of the show. Don't want to give away too much, but he will still be a huge part of the show. He's going to college close to home."

Axl is one of those kids who seems to get through life with lit-

tle or no effort. An episode earlier in the season showed how he was able to pull things together at the last minute and succeed, with as little effort as possible. "Yeah," says executive producer Eileen Heisler, "we have fun exploring that and wondering how Axl does succeed. And it was a really fun episode for us last to see that kind of little magic occur, you know, bordering reality and fantasy a hair, but we thought it worked."

"I'm interested in seeing what they do," Heaton says Axl's going off to college. "My oldest son is a freshman at college, and I have another one who may or may not be going next year. Or he'll be working on the show. And so I haven't watched that on a show.

What's been fun for me on most of the shows I've been on, they've kind of tracked what's happening in my family on the show."

"Well, Patty has a funny family and a funny life," adds Heisler.

"I tell them all my horror stories, and sometimes those end up on the show," laughs Heaton.

Frankie has had a lot of upheaval in the job arena this past year. She lost her job, and she's feeling more vulnerable than ever. "There are a lot of people," Heaton says, "also in what's going on with the economy for the last few years that have had to figure out something new to do and take new jobs and reinvent themselves and go back to school. So it's - I think it, you know, helps us, it helps the writers find new stories. But it's just also very reflective of what's going on."

"The Hecks' lives are always kind of hard," says Heisler. "So anything we can do to, you know, make life get a little harder for a period of time, you know, I think the worse things get, I think the funnier they get."

"We always sort of feel like we don't make things easy for the Hecks," Heline adds, "because I don't think things are easy in real life, you know, and that's - but there are times where we'll say, you know, 'Poor Sue, you know, she's always trying out for stuff.

You know, we need to give her that victory, or we need to make sure' so it's always a balance of sometimes at the end of an episode, things may not work out for them, and sometimes, you know, you try and have that ray of hope that things do work out also. So we've always conscious of that, of saying you know what - we've got a couple in a row that have been a little tough. We need to have a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel.

"Every time you look at Facebook and just how much the show means to people and the fact that they do say it's reflecting - 'I think you have a camera in my house,' it's amazing. I mean, we're in our fourth season with a show that people love, and we're incredibly, incredibly grateful for that and very moved by how much people love the show. And would it be nice to have more? Yeah, but it's fantastic, and I certainly can't complain."
