House leaders make U-turn on roads GOP leaders will back Senate plan BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Republican leaders in the South Carolina House promised in a letter to Gov. Nikki Haley they won’t insist on their version of a roads bill

passed last year to fund road repairs with a gasoline tax increase, but Democrats and some Republicans said the state needs to find a stable source of funding for infrastructure. The promise from House Speaker Jay Lucas, R-Darlington, means any increase in the state’s gas tax won’t happen this year.

Lucas had originally been critical of the Senate bill, calling the plan “deceptive.” “Not only does their plan mislead the people of South Carolina into thinking that a large pot of general fund money will be available every year for roads, it also practices reckless budgeting that jeopardizes the prosperity of our economy,” Lucas

said shortly after the Senate ended a filibuster and passed the plan. “Kicking the can further down the road and into a giant pothole defies the test of real leadership.” The letter Lucas sent to the governor was also signed by Majority Leader Bruce Bannister, R-Greenville, and Rep. Gary Simrill, R-Rock Hill,

who spent months putting together the roads plan that passed the House during the 2015 session. That plan included a gas tax increase as well as an income tax reduction. However, many Republican legislators balked at voting to raise the gas tax during an election year after population

Senate panel OKs releasing police shooting dash cam videos COLUMBIA (AP) — Dashboard camera video of all police shootings in South Carolina would be released to the public unless investigators can convince a judge the footage would damage their case or jeopardize police procedure, according to a bill approved Thursday by a Senate subcommittee. If a judge blocks the release, the judge must give a reason and say when it can be released, said Sen. Larry Martin, who pushed for the bill.

The Pickens Republican decided the legislation was necessary after the State Law Enforcement Division waited three months to release the video of a Seneca officer shooting and killing 19-yearold Zachary Hammond in July. The agency released the video after a prosecutor decided the shooting was justified, saying police Lt. Mark Tiller feared he might be run over even though it appeared Tiller moved toward the car and put

himself in the dangerous situation. Without the video, speculation spread in the community that investigators were trying to hide something. “This provides an important check on law enforcement and the system,” Martin said. Martin also submitted an amendment to the bill that would allow authorities to delete the final words of a dying victim from a 911 call released to the public. That was prompted by a Pickens Coun-

STATE BRIEFS FROM WIRE REPORTS

Senate ends week on refugee registry bill COLUMBIA — South Carolina senators have ended their week debating a bill that would require refugees to enroll with the state. Senators on Thursday finished a second day talking about the bill that would require all refugees to register with the state. The bill would also hold sponsors of refugees liable for damages if the people they help come to the United States commit terrorism. A third requirement that no state money be spent for refugees is a sticking point. Bill sponsor Republican Sen. Kevin Bryant of Anderson says he’s willing to talk about amendments to allow children of refugees to go to public school. Bryant says he supports another amendment that would prevent the list of refugees in the state from being made public.

Man points gun at Wal-Mart customer GREENVILLE — Authorities say a man accused of pointing a gun at a customer inside a Wal-Mart in Greenville is facing charges. Media outlets report 21-yearold Caleb Detwan Harvell was arrested and charged with shoplifting and breach of peace. Authorities say deputies responded to the store about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. In a statement, deputies say the suspect had obtained a Crossman Pumpmaster air rifle that had been removed from its box, walked around the store and pointed the weapon at a customer in a “dangerous and threatening manner.” An arrest warrant says a woman told deputies that the suspect made eye contact with her and leveled the rifle, pointing it directly at her face. No injuries were reported. Harvell was released on bond. It isn’t immediately clear if he has an attorney.

Cinderella Project helps dress local girls for prom BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com It’s been 15 years since the Presbyterian Women of Sumter’s First Presbyterian Church started its annual program to help local high school girls attend their proms dressed in appropriate finery. Their Cinderella Project asks local girls to donate their gently used, up-to-date prom dresses and accessories and then offers them at no charge to current students whose families couldn’t afford them otherwise. “We’re looking for used prom dresses in very good condition, shoes, evening bags and jewelry,” Moorman said. “There are probably lots of people who have them in their closets.” The clothing and accessories can be dropped off at First Presbyterian Church on the corner of Calhoun and North Main streets from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Since the program started in 2002, more than 200 girls have shopped for prom outfits through the local Cinderella Project, started by former church member Laura Moushey, whose alma mater, Meredith College in Raleigh, N.C., was the originator of the project now found around the country. The goal of the local project is to pro-

vide outfits so that girls at Lakewood, Crestwood and Sumter high schools will be able to attend their proms, considered by many a “rite of passage,” even though their families may not be able to afford the often very expensive clothing. Moorman said guidance counselors at the three high schools can refer students, or “those girls who feel they can’t afford prom dresses can just come in on one of our shopping days. They can bring their mothers, or a friend, to help them shop, if they like.” As assistant chairwoman last year, Moorman assisted on the shopping days; she said, “It’s special to see girls find a beautiful dress for that special night.” She added that the project especially needs larger sizes. The dresses are not available for beauty pageants, just high school proms. Once the collection period is over around April 1, the “dress shop” will open in the West Youth Building on the church grounds, 9 West Calhoun St. Shopping hours are 2 to 4:30 p.m. Sunday, April 3, and 4 to 7 p.m. Monday, April 4. For more information, call or text Moorman at (803) 446-9408.

City approves moratorium on property registry fines BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com During its meeting on Tuesday, Sumter City Council approved final reading of an ordinance to impose a moratorium on fines for failure to register vacant residential property with the city through and including Dec. 31, 2016. The $250 fine is intended to be charged every month that a property owner does not register vacant residential property with the city within 60 days of it being unoccupied. According to the ordinance, the moratorium “is necessary to allow the city adequate time to study the implementation and effect of the vacant property registration ordinance.” Council later approved an ordinance to update develop-

ment standards and policies for annexing property into the city. City Attorney Eric Shytle said the updated annexation ordinance will include current development standards for residential and commercial structures. Before a structure can be considered for annexation into the city, the property must meet current city development standards, he said. Another change to the ordinance is that the residential and commercial structures can either receive water and sewer services or water-only services. Shytle said sewer-only services will not be offered because it is not feasible for the city to stop sewer services if payments are not made, especially if the property owner receives water servic-

es from another entity. Also, council approved a resolution to authorize a contract with Palmetto Corporation of Conway to resurface 15 roads throughout the city this year. In authorizing the contract, the city accepted the company’s bid of $497,900 for the project. The streets for the resurfacing project include: Archdale Drive, Hoyt Heights, Gable Street, L Street, Hannah Court, Commander Court, Mary Street, Hasel Street, Hospital Circle, Yeadon Street, West Glouchester Court, St. Augustine & Hermitage Drive, Wesley Hall, Stonehedge Court and Covington Street. During the public comment portion of the meeting, several city residents expressed concern about the amount of litter in Sumter.

Several residents of the Crosswell area said litter is a major problem in their neighborhood and encouraged council to provide education to residents to help keep streets clean. In other news, council approved: • Final reading of an amendment to reduce the city’s Community Development Block Grant Entitlement Budget for 2016-17 from $285,900 to $278,800 because the city will receive less funding from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development than anticipated; • Final reading of an ordinance to annex 4.11 acres at 1765 Camden Highway into the city; and • A resolution designating the month of April 2016 as Fair Housing Month in the city.

S.C. BMW hits major milestone with 2M vehicles exported from state CHARLESTON (AP) — Two million BMWs made in South Carolina have been exported, a milestone reached Thursday when a metallic gray BMW X-5 was driven aboard a green-andwhite auto carrier ship at the docks in downtown Charleston. The auto manufacturer opened its sprawling South Carolina plant in Greer back in 1994 and it is now the largest in the BMW manufacturing network. About 70 percent of the BMWs manufactured in the state are exported. A group of South Carolina Ports Au-

thority and BMW officials were on hand for a ceremony marking the milestone. “BMW has become part of the fabric of this great state,” said Manfred Erlacher, the president of BMW Manufacturing. He said the gray BMW will be sold in Germany and the new owner will get a photo to commemorate Thursday’s event. “From my side I can promise you two things,” he added. “Many more BMWs are coming and it won’t take 20 years for the next 2-millionth.”

State Ports Authority President and CEO Jim Newsome said the company has had a huge impact on South Carolina, directly employing 8,000, providing more than 20,000 jobs with automotive suppliers and investing $7 billion over the years. It also led the way for other foreign automotive manufacturers to locate in the state. Daimler AG is building its Sprinter vans at a plant in Ladson. Volvo Cars has a $500 million manufacturing plant under construction farther up Interstate 26 in Berkeley County. That

plant is expected to eventually employ 4,000 workers. Newsome said companies such as BMW and Michelin in the Upstate, and Boeing in the Lowcountry, have an impact on everything from the quality of life to education and health care. “There is no substitute for megamanufacturing and the impact on the state,” he said. BMW, he added, “took a very bold step to be here.” “It’s their largest plant today and I think that says a lot.”

St. Patrick’s parade kicks off 3-day Savannah street party

All traffic lights were green for motorists traveling on Hampton Avenue on St. Patrick’s Day morning. CHRIS MOORE / SPECIAL TO THE SUMTER ITEM

Senators discuss earlier school start date in S.C. will allow schools to get the full 90 days for the first semester in before Christmas break, supporters said. “I would like to know as a parent my child is not spending the entire Christmas break studying for the tests that come after,” said Sen. Paul Thurmond, R-Charleston. Opposition to the bill again came from the coast. Republican Sen. Luke Rankin from Myrtle Beach said families have told him they appreciate having more of August for vacations instead of seeing school end in May. Rankin threatened to block the bill if the second Monday in August date was approved.

COLUMBIA (AP) — Some South Carolina school systems are asking lawmakers to let them start school a week earlier in August so they can end their first semester before Christmas. The bill went before a Senate subcommittee Thursday, resurrecting a fight 10 years ago when South Carolina passed the current law preventing schools from starting before the third Monday in August. Tourism groups pushed hard for the later start dates so families would have more prime beach weather in August to vacation and teen workers could stay in their seasonal jobs longer. The subcommittee approved the bill Thursday with an amendment setting the earliest start date at Aug. 15, later than the second Monday in August being pushed by some school systems. Subcommittee chairman Sen. Wes Hayes, R-Rock Hill, said he wanted to advance the bill and promised more discussion in the full Education Committee. Starting earlier in August

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Green overcame gray Thursday as thousands celebrating St. Patrick’s Day along the cobblestone streets and oakshaded squares of Savannah saw light rain and thunder retreat before the opening drumbeats of the city’s sprawling parade. Revelers in gaudy green hats and T-shirts filled the sidewalks and squares, though not in the sometimes stifling numbers Savannah has drawn when the Irish holiday falls on a Friday or Saturday. Bars, hotels and restaurants predicted a long, lucrative celebration with many visitors staying into the weekend. “Hands down, Savannah is the best,” said Sarah Griffenhagen of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, who has traveled to St. Patrick’s Day parades across the U.S. with her three sisters and two cousins for the past decade. “You can party if you want to party, but it’s also familyfriendly.” Here’s a look at how Savannah celebrated Thursday:

COLOR COORDINATED The crowds in downtown Savannah were decked out in all manner of green attire: bowler hats and plastic beads, “Kiss Me I’m Irish” Tshirts and golf plants embroidered with tiny shamrocks. But Dwayne Schumpert of Columbia, South Carolina,

showed up wearing a little bit of everything. Beneath a floppy felt hat festooned with green carnations, Schumpert wore a sequined domino mask and a fake red beard that covered his entire face. An Irish flag flew over his right shoulder, above a shamrock-covered cape. His shirt was smothered by dozens of beaded necklaces and feather boas, while buttons covered his pants. “It took me about 40 minutes to put it all on this morning,” Schumpert said. “It’ll probably take me two hours to take it off because it all gets tangled together.” Schumpert shuffled down the street, pausing often for photos with complete strangers. One woman asked, “What are you?” “I’ve been called a lot of things,” Schumpert replied, “a green sasquatch, or a leprechaun meets Vegas.”

COME RAIN OR COME SHINE Parade watchers who packed umbrellas or ponchos because of the cloudy skies got a brief chance to use them. Light rain fell on the crowds Thursday morning as thunder could be heard rumbling in the distance. Both stopped by the time the parade kicked off at 10:15 a.m. Otherwise the overcast weather made for a perfect day to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day outdoors. The tempera-

ture was 73 degrees by noon and forecasts called for a high of 81. In New York, Boston and Chicago, St. Patrick’s parades marched through temperatures in the 50s.

MARCHING ON MARCH 17 Savannah’s first St. Patrick’s Day parade was a modest procession that the city’s Irish immigrants organized in 1824. There’s nothing small about it these days. Led by police officers on horseback and motorcycles, followed closely by a thundering band of bagpipes and drums, this year’s parade included about 260 entries: marching bands, military units, convertibles toting waving dignitaries and glittering floats pulled by pickup trucks. They marched or rode along a route winding 2.6 miles through Savannah’s downtown historic district. Madeleine Hall, age 4, had one of the best seats along the entire parade route, perched atop her father’s shoulders as he stood among the crowd on Abercorn Street. She said the floats were her favorite part. Her father, Geoff Hall of Savannah, said attending the parade has become something of an unintentional family tradition. “It seems like we never plan on coming,” Hall said. “But every year we end up here.”

Lightning strike makes 2 poster boys for CPR kiosks BY KATHY MATHESON The Associated Press Matt Lickenbrock and Sean Ferguson are the poster boys for the rollout of CPR-training kiosks at airports and for good reason. Lickenbrock taught himself the lifesaving skill at one of the kiosks, then used it just two days later to revive Ferguson, who had been hit by lightning. “I can’t thank Matt enough,” said Ferguson, who survived the lightning strike despite major burns. “I mean, what 21-year-old goes to a CPR kiosk? Why didn’t he go to the bar? Why didn’t he play on his phone?” The pair, both students at Ohio’s University of Dayton, helped unveil a kiosk last week at the Indianapolis airport; travelers will also see them at Chicago O’Hare, Las Vegas, Atlanta and Baltimore-Washington. With their rubber torsos, video screens and disco soundtrack, the machines definitely turn heads. (It so happens the Bee Gees hit “Stayin’ Alive” uses exactly the right beat for proper chest compressions.) The kiosk takes just a few minutes to teach hands-only CPR — no mouth-to-mouth resuscitation required. More than 20 percent of cardiac arrests occur in public places, and experts say the chances of survival are much higher if a bystander administers CPR before medics arrive. “After six minutes, the chances of that person’s survival decrease significantly,” said American Heart Association volunteer Danielle Cortes DeVito, who is also a paramedic. The CPR kiosk rollout follows a successful test at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport where a machine has trained more than 25,000 people since 2013. That includes Lickenbrock, who

Sean Ferguson, left, practices CPR during a news conference on a kiosk at the Indianapolis International Airport in Indianapolis. The machine is like the one Matt Lickenbrock, right, learned on two days before saving Ferguson’s life. used it last April while killing time during a layover en route back to Dayton from spring break. He followed the video instructions and attempted to “revive” the dummy. Participants are scored based on the rate and depth of chest compressions and the placement of their hands. He failed.

“I was way too shallow on depth of compressions,” said Lickenbrock. So he tried again. And again. On the third try, he got a perfect score. Two days later, he was driving on campus when he saw lightning strike from afar. As Lickenbrock pulled into a parking lot, he saw a group gathered around a student lying on

the ground. The bolt had knocked Ferguson off his feet and into a parked car, breaking his jaw. Bystanders called 911, but he had no pulse and wasn’t breathing. Lickenbrock was the first to administer CPR, which he continued until medics arrived. Ferguson suffered burns on 35 percent of his body. His grueling recovery included learning to walk again because the nerves in his legs were shattered. But the 24-year-old marketing major returned to campus just a few months later and graduated in December. “If it weren’t for that kiosk, I wouldn’t be here today,” said Ferguson, who lives in the Pittsburgh suburb of Allison Park, Pennsylvania. The kiosks are sponsored by the American Heart Association and the Anthem Foundation, the philanthropic arm of health insurer Anthem Inc. Indianapolis airport Fire Chief Rick Gentry said he’s been waiting for two years to get one of the machines, which he called “very easy to use.” “If you can do compressions ... you’re doing better than somebody that doesn’t do anything and just stands by,” Gentry said. “So it’ll give people confidence to be able to do it.” Lickenbrock, 22, a mechanical engineering major from Webster Groves, Missouri, said he hopes his compelling story inspires others. “I’m a regular guy, and I learned CPR in essentially 10 minutes and saved a life,” he said. “That means anyone else can do the same thing.” Matheson reported from Philadelphia. This report contains material from Associated Press reporters Teresa Crawford in Chicago and Michael Rubinkam in Allison Park, Pennsylvania, and contributor A.J. Mast in Indianapolis.

Deficit-slashing plan moves through House panel WASHINGTON (AP) — A key House panel on Wednesday approved a GOP plan to eliminate the federal budget deficit without tax increases demanded by Democrats, relying on sharp cuts to federal health care programs, government aid to the poor, and hundreds of domestic programs supported by lawmakers in both parties. The 2016 Budget Committee vote could be the high point for the GOP blueprint, which is short of the majority votes needed to advance through the GOP-controlled House. Two tea party Republicans defected on the otherwise party-line vote. Many tea party conservatives oppose it because it sticks to last year’s budget and debt deal with President Obama, which awarded the Pentagon and domestic programs generous spending increases. The plan — which is an illustrative wish list rather than binding legislation — reserves its biggest cuts for health care programs, proposing to eliminate “Obamacare” coverage for millions of people, slash Medicaid, raise the eligibility age for Medicare to 67, and transform Medicare into a voucher-like system for future retirees. It proposes significant cuts and new work requirements for food stamp benefits and would eliminate the Social Services Block Grant, which provides flexible grants to states for ser-

vices to the poor. It proposes requiring federal workers to pay greater contributions into their pension plans and would scale back student loan subsidies for undergraduates. The reward for such sacrifices would be a budget that balances in 10 years and eases the government debt burden faced by future generations. Eliminating health-care subsidies would boost labor participation, and lower deficits would boost national savings and private investment.

The plan’s author, Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price, R-Ga., said it would “prioritize the responsibilities of the federal government — like national security — and save and strengthen those programs that are critical to the health, retirement and economic security of millions of Americans.” The opposition of tea party conservatives in the House, including the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus, is a setback for House Speaker

Trump campaign challenging comics to think outside the box NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is far from ordinary, and latenight television humorists are pushing boundaries in order to keep up. The most memorable Trumpinspired comedy of the past few months has been more intricate than monologue jokes, reflecting a tough competition for laughs and knowledge that the best material can have a long life online. John Oliver’s epic, 20-minute Trump takedown, with research that revealed the family’s name was once “Drumpf,” has logged more than 2 million YouTube views. He methodically debunks the beliefs of Trump fans, even as he marvels at the candidate’s brazenness. “There’s a part of me that even likes this guy,” the HBO host said. “It’s a part of me I hate, but it’s a part of me.” ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel reunited Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane as their old characters from “The Producers,” whose chosen scam is the Trump campaign instead of a musical about Hitler. They soon recognize the story “starts out funny and then gets really, really depressing.” While Darrell Hammond effectively impersonates Trump on “Saturday Night Live,” none of the show’s political skits have matched the impact of the

Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who engineered passage of four separate budget plans as the committee chairman from 20112014 but seems stymied now by the same forces that deposed former Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. He’s not trying to strong-arm Republicans into voting for it. Actually implementing the cuts would require follow-up legislation, something Republicans have never attempted, in great part because it would be futile so long as President Obama occupies the Oval Office — and not worth the political tumult. But it sets a template for what a GOP-controlled Congress might seek to cut if a Republican retakes the White House. Democrats blasted the measure for finding the bulk of its $6.5 billion in 10year savings from programs that help the poor and working class and for promising a tax overhaul that would substantially lower the top rate. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal research and advocacy group, calculates that programs for the poor, which make up 28 percent of domestic spending, would bear about 60 percent of the cuts in the House budget. “It would decimate large swaths of the federal government,” said Robert Greenstein, founder of the group. “It features particularly severe cuts in programs to help poor families and others of limited means.”

House Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price, R-Ga., joined at left by Vice-Chairman Todd Rokita, R-Ind., presides over a markup session as the panel presses ahead with a 10-year balanced budget plan that cuts federal health care programs and agency budgets even though tea party conservatives are rebelling in a setback for Speaker Paul Ryan, on Capitol Hill in Washington,on Wednesday.

“racists for Trump” commercial parody. Trevor Noah’s best moment since replacing Jon Stewart on “The Daily Show” came when he compared Trump’s words to those of African dictators. “There are a lot of ways where a comedian can tell easy jokes about Trump and they keep repeating themselves,” said Robert Thompson, director of Syracuse University’s Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture. “But the

really good stuff is very sophisticated, very probing political satire.” Comics were nearly shaking with excitement when Trump announced his candidacy, anticipating a great diversion to a serious campaign. Yet as the outrageous statements piled up and Trump maintained a high standing in the polls, it wasn’t so funny anymore — a point Thompson noted was effectively made in a routine by Comedy Central’s Larry Wilmore.

Brown said the cost of road maintenance is going up, and it’s unreasonable to think that the state can fix roads for the same costs as 29 years ago. Brown said a gas tax also shifts some of the burden from paying for roads off the shoulders of South Carolinians. “A good portion of (the gasoline tax) is paid by out-ofstate people coming through and using our roads,” he said. Brown said another advantage of a gasoline tax is the projected revenue can be bonded out. “We can pave these roads and fix these bridges and get our roads system up to the second decade of the 21st century which is where it should be,” he said. In his letter, Lucas said the House will either agree to the

Echoing Lucas’ earlier criticism, opponents of the Senate plan said it is not a longterm solution to the Palmetto State’s deteriorating highways, roads and bridges. “You can use one-time money in the budget money for roads, but the first time the state has any type of recession or revenue is down from what is projected that means that money won’t be available,” said Rep. Grady Brown, D-Bishopville. “Nobody is a proponent of raising taxes, but we haven’t had a gasoline tax increase in 29 years,” he said.

Senate bill or just pass an amendment to change the way the Department of Transportation is run and send that back to the Senate. The Senate bill allows the governor to name all eight members of the DOT board and the board then to pick a secretary to run the agency. The House will take up roads after dealing with the budget next week and taking a two-week break after Easter. Haley urged the House to take up the Senate plan immediately, wondering if the 124 House members, whose seats are all up for re-election this year, were waiting until primary filing ends March 30 before making a commitment on roads.

rural areas,” he said. If he were elected to council, Kershaw said his first concern would be creating a system to make sure all of the county’s damaged roads get repaired. The roads get patched but get messed up again the following week, he said. Quick fixes are not a solution, he said. Even if the county has to start at ground zero, Kershaw said he would like to see every road get repaired. Kershaw also encourages county residents to keep their neighborhoods clear of litter. “It starts here with us,” he said to the group. In some areas, the ditches are so full of trash the water cannot flow properly, he said. “We have to show the council that we care about our community,” Kershaw said. Another of Kershaw’s causes is encouraging Sumter County residents to register and vote. It’s so easy to do register and vote today when almost everything is digital, he said. “I can promise this,” Kershaw said during the event, “If you put me in that seat, I will earn my keep.”

Kershaw said he is an ideal candidate for the District 1 seat because he was born and raised in Rembert and understands the changes others in the community want to see. Having a seat on the council will not make a difference unless the council members and community work together, he said. He said he has been attending Sumter County Council’s meetings every second and fourth Tuesday to see what a councilperson’s duties entail. Being a councilman means making improvements that work for everyone, Kershaw said. He said the local governments sometimes put money in one area, which is good for the people of that area, but the other tax payers should not be forgotten. “We like nice things in

Netflix revisits the 1980s with ‘Pee-wee’s Big Holiday’ BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Pee-wee’s back. Paul Reubens’ iconic man-child returns in the original comedy movie “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday,” now streaming on Netflix. Like the best of trends, the Pee-wee Herman mini-craze of the mid-to-late 1980s was fast and furious and over as quickly as it had begun. The 1985 comedy “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” and the subsequent Saturday morning kids’ show (or kids’ show spoof) “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” on CBS perfectly captured the postmodern irony of that era. By the mid 1980s, pop culture was saturated by performers with an awkward distance between their “characters” and their “real” selves. Andy Kaufman (who died in 1984), David Letterman, the “lying” Joe Isuzu car spokesman and the robotic Max Headroom all played up this peculiar, uncomfortable detachment for humor. In “downtown” cultural circles, this was considered performance art. In less-exalted realms of popular culture, professional wrestlers such as Hulk Hogan were climbing out of their lowbrow niche and entering the mainstream. In wrestling, the “creative” interplay between real passions and fake sport as performed by outlandish char-

acters was well established. Pee-wee played up the confection for all it was worth, investing his character with a deranged take on childlike passions, enthusiasms and tantrums. It was an act and a craze that couldn’t last. By the early 1990s, Pee-wee dolls were consigned to the attic with their Cabbage Patch cousins. So why revive Pee-wee? An HBO adaptation of Reubens’ Broadway show seemed a tad belabored and sadly reverent when it aired in 2011. So are we returning to the age of ironic detachment that created Pee-wee? A glance at the headlines indicates a climate more distressed than filled with postmodern whimsy. It’s more likely that Netflix sees Pee-wee, even one portrayed by a 63-year-old Reubens, as a bankable and recognizable property. Not unlike “Fuller House,” now streaming, and “Marvel’s Daredevil,” which is entering its second season on Netflix today. • The Discovery Channel’s love affair with the frozen north continues. It’s dedicated the entire prime-time lineup to “Gold Rush” (8 p.m. and 9 p.m., TV-PG) and an episode of “Yukon Men” (10 p.m., TV-14), which explores how the residents of Tanana, Alaska, cope after a wildfire reduces the town to ashes.

TONIGHT’S OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • In NCAA Basketball Tournament action: Stephen F. Austin vs. West Virginia (7 p.m., CBS); Green Bay vs. Texas A&M (7:15 p.m., TBS); a team to be determined vs. Notre Dame (9:30 p.m., CBS); and Northern Iowa vs. Texas (9:45 p.m., TBS). • The first round of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament (7:30 p.m., ESPN 2) is also underway. • A necessary alliance on “Sleepy Hollow” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14). • A mask maker must lose face on “Grimm” (9 p.m., NBC, TV-14). • The search for Albert’s secrets continues on “Second Chance” (9 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

The Dewey Cox Story” (8 p.m., IFC)?

JEFF MACNELLY'S SHOE

Dad is disturbed by ex-girlfriend’s revolving door DEAR ABBY — I was in a six-year relationship with a woman. We shared a home and have a child Dear Abby together, whom I supABIGAIL port. She VAN BUREN has primary custody, and I provide financial support and exercise my visitations regularly. We broke up six months ago and she immediately moved a man into the house. Since they split up, she has done this again with a new person. I have moved on and am content being single and focusing on my career and par-

enting my son when he’s with me. Where I struggle is when these new men want to meet me. I don’t feel obligated to shake their hands, be polite and friendly or be a supportive, smiling face. I’m disturbed by the speed she moves into other relationships. I feel like it sets a bad example for my son regardless of how “nice” these men are. There is no record of abuse, and I do believe my ex is a good mother, just maybe lonely and very dependent on having companionship. I understand life goes on and people move on, but at what point is this unhealthy? Am I wrong for not wanting to be friends with my ex and her new “guy friend” whenever she decides she should be accompanied for custody

THE DAILY CROSSWORD PUZZLE

exchange? I refuse to speak to or acknowledge these men. I am not confrontational, but I literally have nothing to say. Any advice how to handle this moving forward? Faking smiles DEAR FAKING SMILES — I subscribe to the philosophy that one can never have enough friends. You don’t have to approve of your ex’s boyfriends, but it is in your child’s best interest to maintain a relationship that approximates cordiality. It won’t hurt you to shake hands and be on a first-name basis with the men who occupy space in your son’s life even temporarily. When we can’t change something, sometimes we have to accept it — and that’s what you would be wise to do.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Recent editorials from South Carolina newspapers:

The Post and Courier of Charleston March 15

PUBLIC’S VOICE BLOCKS DRILLING The democratic process isn’t perfect — witness the rise of blowhard Donald Trump in the race for the GOP presidential nomination. But sometimes democracy works just as it should to express the will of the people. Certainly that’s what occurred when the Obama administration decided to abandon plans to open the South Carolina coast to offshore drilling. Over the past year, the people of coastal South Carolina have spoken nearly as one, through their elected town and county councils, against offshore drilling. Local jurisdictions from Hilton Head to North Myrtle Beach joined the campaign as they independently weighed the risks. Locally, the opposition ranged from Edisto Beach to McClellanville, with virtually every community, large and small, joining in. And they were backed by all three coastal representatives in the U.S. House. Indeed, two congressmen — 1st District Rep. Mark Sanford and 7th District Rep. Tom Rice, both Republicans — took a stance after considering the local opposition to the plan. In doing so, they joined 6th District Rep. Jim Clyburn, a Democrat. On Tuesday, officials with the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management also recognized the broad public opposition in South Carolina and other Atlantic coastal states as they cancelled a proposal to allow the exploration for oil and natural gas deposits, preparatory to their extraction. The federal decision means that the long-standing moratorium on offshore oil drilling along the coasts of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Virginia will continue, despite the best efforts of the oil industry to force a change. A spokesman for the American Petroleum Institute declared that the administration’s decision “appeases extremists who seek to stop oil and natural gas production which would increase the cost of energy for American consumers and close the door for years to creating new jobs, new investments and boosting energy security.” To the contrary, federal officials listened to the unified voice of coastal citizens and their representatives and made their decision accordingly. If that’s surprising to Big Oil, it’s only because the industry so often gets its way. Simply put, coastal communities made a compelling case against opening up the region to offshore drilling. Tourism is the economic lifeblood of the S.C. coast, and offshore drilling threatens the quality of our beaches and natural resources. Marine life would also be at risk during the exploration process, which uses loud underwater seismic air guns to determine whether natural gas and oil might be present. Wildlife advocates and environmental organizations and their grass-roots counterparts deserve credit for helping to educate coastal communities about the potential ill-effects of offshore drilling on marine resources. The campaign against offshore drilling was a wideranging, bipartisan effort.

What stands out most is the support given by local elected officials to a public opposing an industry-backed plan that appeared to have every chance of being rubberstamped by the bureaucracy. Let’s hear it for real representative government.

The Island Packet of Hilton Head March 12

CLARIFY DEFINITION OF PUBLIC BODIES A recent court ruling is a step in the right direction for increasing transparency. But the case needs a vetting before the S.C. Supreme Court for the important issues it raises to be settled once and for all. At issue is Circuit Court Judge Michael Nettles’ ruling last month that Skip Hoagland, a longtime, vocal critic of the Hilton Head IslandBluffton Chamber of Commerce, is allowed access to various chamber documents under the state’s Freedom of Information Act. Because the chamber receives accommodations taxes — revenues generated from overnight lodging — it is a public body and must comply with the law, ruled Nettles. The Freedom of Information Act states that an entity supported “in whole or in part by public funds” is subject to the law. A 1991 Supreme Court ruling confirmed that. The nonprofit chamber plans to appeal the ruling. Its attorneys have said that even though the chamber is the designated marketing organization for the Town of Hilton Head Island, it is not a public body. Rather, they say, it is a private nonprofit organization, exempt from releasing documents that Hoagland and others have requested. They add that the chamber has released documents that show how accommodationstax dollars were spent. But they have denied Hoagland’s request for all accounts, vouchers and contracts dealing with the receipt or spending of public money. This newspaper has also made a request to the chamber that was denied — a list of contractors and organizations paid by the chamber for goods and services, employees’ pay and its revenue sources. To date, the lower courts have not brought clarity to whether chambers are public bodies and what limitations should be placed on the Freedom of Information Act. Individual judges in different parts of the state have reached very different conclusions on the matters. It’s time for the S.C. Supreme Court to step in and have the final say. A recent opinion by the high court gives some insight into the justices’ thinking on the topic. In 2013, it rejected an argument, presented by the S.C. School Administrators Association, that requiring nonprofits to comply with the Freedom of Information Act violated their First Amendment rights. This might be a good omen for Hoagland’s lawsuit, which could be headed to the high court as well. The chamber’s lawyer, Bobby Stepp of Columbia, has said he will ask the state Supreme Court to bypass the Court of Appeals and take up the case to expedite it. We still hold out hope that the justices will be faithful to the stated goal of the law and require the release of all documents that show how public dollars are used.

Campaign has air of menace

y international and historical standards, political violence is exceedingly rare in the United States. The last serious outburst was 1968 with its bloody Democratic-convention riots. By that standard, 2016 is, as yet, tame. It may not remain so. The political thuggery that shut down a Donald Trump rally in Chicago last week may just be a harbinger. It would be nice, therefore, if we could think straight about cause and effect. The immediate conventional wisdom was to blame the disturbance on the “toxic climate” created by Trump. Nonsense. This was an act of deliberate sabotage created by a totalitarian left that specializes in the intimidation and silencing of political opponents. Its pedigree goes back to early 20th-century fascism and communism. Its more recent incarnation has been developed on college campuses, where for years leftists have been taunting, disrupting and ultimately shutting down and shutting out conservative speakers of every stripe — long before Donald Trump. The Chicago shutdown was a planned attack on free speech and free assembly. Hence the exultant chant of the protesters upon the announcement of the rally’s cancellation: “We stopped Trump.” It had all of the spontaneity of a beer-hall putsch. Given the people, the money and the groups (including MoveOn.org) behind Chicago, it is likely to be replicated, constituting a serious threat to a civilized politics. But there’s a second, quite separate form of thuggery

COMMENTARY threatening the 2016 campaign — a leading candidate who, with a wink and a nod (and sometimes less subtlety), is stoking anger and encouraging violence. This must be distinguished Charles Krauthammer from what happened in Chicago, where Trump was the victim and for which he is not responsible. But he is responsible for saying of a protester at his rally in Las Vegas that “I love the old days. You know what they used to do to guys like that ... ? They’d be carried out on a stretcher, folks.” He told another rally that if they see any protesters preparing to throw a tomato, to “knock the crap out of them ... I promise you I will pay for the legal fees.” Referring in an interview to yet another protester, Trump said “maybe he should have been roughed up.”At the Vegas event, Trump had said, “I’d like to punch him in the face.” Well, in Fayetteville, N.C., one of his supporters did exactly that for him -sucker-punching in the face a protester being led away. The attacker is being charged with assault. Trump is not responsible for the assault. But he is responsible for refusing to condemn it. Asked about it, he dodged and weaved, searching for extenuation. “The man got carried away.” So what? If people who get carried away are allowed to

sucker-punch others, we’d be living in a jungle. Trump said that it was obvious that the cold-cocker “obviously loves his country.” What is it about punching a demonstrator in the face that makes evident one’s patriotism? Particularly when the attacker said on television, “Next time we see him, we might have to kill him.” Whoa. That’s lynch talk. And rather than condemn that man, Trump said he would be instructing his people to look into paying his legal fees. This from the leader of the now strongest faction in the Republican Party, the man most likely to be the GOP nominee for president. And who, when asked on Wednesday about the possibility of being denied the nomination at the convention if he’s way ahead in delegates but just short of a majority, said: “I think you’d have riots,” adding “I wouldn’t lead it but I think bad things would happen.” Is that incitement to riot? Legally, no. But you’d have to be a fool to miss the underlying implication. There’s an air of division in the country. Fine. It’s happened often in our history. Indeed, the whole point of politics is to identify, highlight, argue and ultimately adjudicate and accommodate such divisions. Politics is the civilized substitute for settling things the old-fashioned way — laying your opponent out on a stretcher.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Evaluate your personal and professional relationships and consider who is helpful and who isn’t. You can make subtle changes that will give you more time to spend with the people who can be a positive influence in your life. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your magnetic personality will impress some people, but it will also drum up jealousy in others. A humble, gracious approach to whatever you do or say will help you temper any discord that may arise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Embellishing the truth in order to be entertaining will backfire. Stick to the facts and don’t get ahead of yourself. If you are honest, you will impress the people who are the most important to you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Explore something you are not familiar with, and you will discover a new way to handle some difficulties you are currently facing. Reach inside and question your motives, and you will be able to make a constructive change.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Stick to what you know and do best. You will capture attention if you go above and beyond what’s expected of you. Someone who can help you advance will show interest in what else you have to say and offer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put more energy into achieving your personal goals. Set up a routine or get into a program that will help you look and be at your best. An emotional relationship will improve if you get involved in a joint endeavor.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make your money work for you. Don’t take a risk when there are better ways to make a profit without sacrificing your peace of mind. Practicality coupled with doing things your way will be your ticket to financial freedom.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Stick to your original plan. If you are too ambitious, you could end up putting yourself in debt. Take care of your health and well-being, and avoid taking unnecessary risks that can lead to physical injury.
