‘Good Samaritan’ shot, killed in yard 18-year-old suspect arrested after woman tried to break up fight

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com

DARBY

Patricia Singleton stepped outside her home Wednesday night to break up a fight between two strangers.

Just a short time later,

she was dead of a gunshot wound to the chest.

Later that same night, Sumter police arrested Derek Antwan Darby, 18, of 438 Council St., and charged the teen with the 54-year-old Singleton’s killing. The

two lived on the same street, but otherwise police don’t think there was any previous connection between the two.

“She had nothing to do with (the fight), other than not wanting these

people to fight in front of her residence,” Deputy Police Chief Alvin Holston said of Singleton. “She was just a neighborhood good Samaritan, trying to do the right thing.”

Police said Singleton

went outside about 6 p.m. when two young women, about 17 to 18 years of age, got involved in a fight outside her home at 428 Council St. Holston said the SINGLETON

CCTC asks for millage increase

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com With new services and increasing costs on the horizon, the president of Central Carolina Technical College went before Sumter County Council this week to ask the taxpayers for more money in the form of a higher millage rate.

Dr. Tim Hardee requested the county millage rate

to cover an additional $633,000 that Central Carolina needs in funding. That would represent a millage rate increase from 3.2 mills to 5.5 mills to cover a jump from $841,000 to about $1.474 million in operational costs.

Speaking during a specially called meeting of council, Hardee detailed the funding needs of the school, citing climbing enrollment and the school’s

expansion beyond its main campus on Miller Road and North Guignard Drive.

“Our enrollment has gone up from 2,936 in 2006 to 4,577 in 2012,” Hardee said. “And by 2014, our square footage in Sumter County will increase to 429,397,” up from 256,671 seven years ago.

Three finalists for the regional campus dean position at USC Sumter have been named by the University of South Carolina, with the position expected to be filled by late spring, the college announced Thursday.

The finalists — Lora Bailey, Ann Bowles and David Fitz — are expected to visit both the Sumter and Columbia campuses during the next two months for interviews, according to USC Palmetto College Vice Provost Chris Plyler.

Once named, the new dean will become only the fourth dean in the history of the local campus, replacing Dr. Les Carpenter, who re-

tired last year after 19 years in the position.

Since Carpenter’s retirement, Lynwood Watts has served as the USC Sumter dean on an interim basis.

“We look forward to inviting them to the campus to see which one will be the best for our campus at this time,” Watts said Thursday.

The three candidates come from somewhat different backgrounds, but each has experience either in the USC system or at a satellite campus to a larger institution, operating much like USC Sumter.

Some Sumter students got time out of class Wednesday.

Most of the 42 winners of a Black History Month Art and Essay Contest, sponsored by the Sumter Police Department for the city schools, traveled to Chuck E. Cheese. Each school could have up to six winners, and Chief Russell Roark presented them with certificates for their accomplishments.

“So often, children are talked about for the negative things they do,” he said. “We wanted to make sure we recognize great kids. We want them to understand you pay now so you can play later. We hope they carry Tryston Budden, kindergarten student from Lemira Elementary School, that idea through their spends his coins having fun at Chuck E. Cheese on Wednesday.

After the award ceremony, the students played games and ate pizza.

“Any time we recognize students for education, it’s great,” said Superintendent Randolph D. Bynum Sr. “This endeavor is outstanding and shows the very strong partnership we share with the Sumter Police Department. It’s been that way from day one.”

Child, 2, injured in ‘mob assault’ nesses involved in the case, officers reportedly noticed the toddler who had been in the middle of the fight was unconscious in his grandmother’s arms and unresponsive to efforts to wake him up.

The grandmother told officers she had dropped the boy during the altercation, and he had been struck in the head by one of the assailants. An officer administered two “rescue breaths” and a “sternum rub” to the boy, according to the police report,

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com A 2-year-old boy was transported to the hospital by EMS on Wednesday night after reportedly being injured in a “mob assault.”

Police and emergency responders arrived at an apartment building in the 900 block of Miller Road after 6:30 p.m. after getting a call about several people involved in a fight outside the apartments. While speaking to wit-

and he took a deep breath and became “semi-responsive.”

The child was taken by EMS to Tuomey Regional Medical Center and was later transported to a hospital in Columbia, where he is said to be recovering from unspecified injuries.

The 42-year-old grandmother told investigators she was outside with the child, her 21-year-old daughter and two other children when they were approached by a group of about seven teenagers who said they want-

ed to fight. Two of the youngsters reportedly struck the woman in the face, causing her to drop the boy, and another of the group allegedly struck the child while he was on the ground.

The crowd reportedly dispersed when the woman said she was going to call the police.

The incident is under investigation by the Sumter Police Department.

Holy Cross joins lawsuit FROM STAFF REPORTS The Episcopal Church in South Carolina has been added as a defendant in the lawsuit filed by parishes and former church leaders who seek to disassociate from The Episcopal Church.

Only The Episcopal Church was named in the original complaint filed Jan. 5. The amended complaint adds the names of three more parishes — the Church of the Holy Cross in Stateburg, St. Jude’s in Walterboro and Trinity in Pinopolis — joining the original suit, bringing the total to 34.

“The Episcopal Church in South Carolina” is the working name for the diocese in the eastern part of the state that is associated with The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion. The diocese is barred from using its historical name because of a temporary injunction issued in the lawsuit at the request of the breakaway parishes. The suit seeks to prevent local Episcopalians from using the name and seal of the diocese.

Making the diocese a party to the lawsuit is a necessary step so that issues such as the diocese’s identity can be addressed by the court, said Thomas Tisdale, chancellor of the diocese.

The Episcopal Church and The Episcopal Church in South Carolina have until April 4 to respond to the complaint.

Remaining with The Episcopal Church are 19 parishes and missions, along with at least 10 “continuing parishes” where members are maintaining official ties to The Episcopal Church even though their parish leadership has left the church. In addition, at least seven active worshiping communities have organized across the diocese to allow displaced Episcopalians to continue to worship together.

Retirement commission censures state’s treasurer COLUMBIA — The board that invests public workers’ pension money has censured South Carolina Treasurer Curtis Loftis for what it calls his “false, misleading and deceitful rhetoric” about his fellow commissioners.

Loftis said he will not be silenced and considers the censure a badge of honor.

The 5-1 vote Thursday is the latest in the ongoing feud between the Republican treasurer and the previously low-key board responsible for the state’s nearly $27 billion portfolio. Only Loftis voted “no.”

SLED begins investigating ethics complaint against House speaker COLUMBIA — State police have officially begun investigating an ethics complaint against House Speaker Bobby Harrell.

State Law Enforcement Division spokesman Thom Berry said Thursday that agents had been assigned to the investigation.

The goal this year is to raise $210,000, about $10,000 more than last year, Love said.

Heart Walk set for Saturday

UPCOMING EVENTS

It’s not too late to donate to or participate in the 2013 Sumter County Heart Walk.

“We still need the support of companies and individuals, especially online,” said Sheryl Love, senior director of development for the American Heart Association Mid-Atlantic Affiliate. “All donations go to help fight heart disease. Absolutely every little bit helps. It all adds up and is greatly appreciated.”

The goal this year is $210,000, about $10,000 more than last year, she said.

“Last year we were No. 1 for the Heart Walk in the country (for community this size). Everybody has to support us to stay that way, to stay No. 1. We’re very fortunate to have companies such as Thompson that are very supportive and healthminded organizations.”

Randolph D. Bynum Sr., county chairman for the Heart Walk and superintendent of Sumter School District, agreed.

“It’s something we support because all of us know someone affected by heart disease,” he said. “We’re really pumped up, and we’re making a big push for entities to get money in by March 1.”

While the walk takes place Saturday and money will continue to be collected through June, the hope is that most people — individuals, teams and companies — will bring their money to SAFE Federal Credit Union, 170 W. Wesmark Blvd., Sumter, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. today, Bynum said.

Bynum said the school district will be well-represented from schools to cheerleading squads and drumlines.

“The school district is strongly involved, not just because I’m the chair but because we want to give back to the community,” he said.

Collectively, the district raised a little more than $17,000 last year, and he is optimistic it will “far exceed” that amount this year, Bynum said.

Lee school board seeks input on search for superintendent

BY RANDY BURNS Special to The Item BISHOPVILLE — The Lee County School Board hopes to name a new superintendent for the 2013-14 school year by mid-May, according to Chairwoman Sanya Moses.

Superintendent Cleo Richardson an- RICHARDSON nounced in January his plans to retire as district superintendent at the end of the school year.

The school board voted on Feb. 14 to contract with the South Carolina School Boards Association to lead the district’s superintendent search.

Dr. Paul Khrone, executive director of the S.C. School Boards Association, presented a timeline and schedule of events to be carried out in the search process. “We want to be transparent,� Moses said. “This is a major decision. And we want input from all of our stakeholders. We will continue to keep the lines of communication open throughout this process.�

The school board is asking faculty, staff, community members, members of the business community and all interested in Lee County schools to complete a survey to provide input on what they think the school board should be looking for in a new superintendent.

The South Carolina School Boards Association is hosting the survey. A link to the survey can be found on the Lee County School District website at www.leeschoolsk12.org or it can be found at https:// www.surveymonkey. com/s/8WLL6YP. “By completing the survey, you will be able to express your opinion on the professional experience, qualifications and personal characteristics the board should look for as we begin to review candidates for the position,� Moses said.

The results of the sur-

vey will be reported to the board on March 18, Moses said. “While only advisory to the board, your response to the survey will greatly assist us in the screening process,� Moses said.

The school board is expected to also use focus groups to obtain community input on perceived needs of the district, Moses said. “We know we will use focus groups for staff,� she said. “But we have not determined other focus groups which might be established.�

Advertisements for the position will be posted on the School Board Association website and national publications, and official notification of the opening will be sent to every superintendent and assistant superintendent in the state. The tentative deadline for accepting applications is midApril.

The association is scheduled to narrow the pool of candidates to be interviewed by the school board. Khrone told the school board that the pool of candidates will be narrowed to three finalists after the board interviews, and the names will be published with those candidates receiving

second interviews to meet with various groups including principals, teachers, district staff and community members.

Richardson informed the school board of his intent to retire at its January school board meeting.

He sent an e-mail to staff the following day informing them of his decision. “After much prayer and consultation with my family, I have decided to retire when my TERI (Teacher and Employee Retention Incentive program) ends on June 30, 2013,�

Richardson wrote. “This has been the most rewarding experience of a fantastic 35 years in education. I would like to thank the Lee County School District Board of Trustees and the Lee County community for support beyond my imagination.�

Previous to her time at Lane, Bailey served as a dean at Brenau University in Gainsville, Ga., and as an associate professor at both Auburn University and the University of Louisville.

ANN BOWLES

Bowles has served as vice president for academic affairs at Spartanburg Methodist College since 2005, a private two-year junior college that offers six associate degrees to its current enrollment of about 800 students.

A Ph.D. graduate in higher education administration from USC, Bowles also worked for eight years in the USC regional campus system, primarily as the chief academic and student affairs officer at USC Union prior to her time at Spartanburg Methodist.

This is not the first time Bowles has been considered for a position like the one at USC Sumter. Last year, she was a finalist for the president’s posi-

Fitz earned a doctorate in political science from the University of Pittsburgh, as well as a bachelor’s degree in international studies from York College of Pennsylvania.

Fitz became the interim dean at the beginning of this school year, having originally been hired to serve as the vice president for academic affairs in 2011. Before arriving at UPT, Fitz served at MacMurry College in Jacksonville, Ill., for 14 years, the final five of which were as the school’s academic vice president.

MILLAGE from Page A1 Carolina will open an Advanced Manufacturing Technology Training Center in the old Walmart building on Broad Street in addition to its Legal Studies Center and the existing Health Sciences Center, both on South Main Street.

Hardee estimated Central Carolina’s physical operating costs have increased by $629,387 since the last time it received a revenue increase from Sumter County in 2006. The opening of the advanced manufacturing facility will add an additional $350,000 to the college’s operations.

The college president pointed out that Sumter County’s funding commitment is low compared to smaller counties that already have funding commitments in excess of $1 million to their technical colleges. Orangeburg County provides $1,061,940 annually to Orangeburg-Calhoun

FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 2013

Technical College, and Darlington County provides even more to Florence-Darlington Technical College, with an allocation of $2,567,279.

At the same time, Hardee touts the increased purchasing power that comes along with an associate’s degree. The median worker with a post-high school degree will earn an extra $141 a week, and Hardee said a five percent increase in the number of Sumter residents with an associate’s degree could add an additional $6.6 million to the county’s coffers. “Forty-five percent of jobs (in Sumter County) require a post-secondary degree, but only 29 percent of the workforce has an associate degree,�

Hardee said. “The question is how to move people into those mid-skill careers.�

Eaton plant manager Ben Buley spoke in support of the proposal, saying Central Carolina

helps train workers for local industries so they can meet their employment needs locally. “Our relocation costs are substantial,� Buley said. “We’d rather hire local people. That’s why we partner with education from the high school classroom to Central Carolina to the plant.�

Of Central Carolina’s current student population, Hardee said, “the vast majority, almost 3,000,� come from Sumter County.

Council took no action on the request Tuesday, but Councilwoman Vivian Fleming-McGhaney told Hardee she appreciated the service Central Carolina offers to the community. “We want our kids to know we have all these businesses here, and they can continue to live in the place that they love,� she said, adding, “if it’s within our fiscal capacity, I’m a yes vote.�

Major renovations made to Bishopville Country Club

BY RANDY BURNS Special to The Item

BISHOPVILLE — Don Brown and his wife, Tammy, acquired Bishopville Country Club in September, promising to invest funds to improve the golf course.

In six months, they have completed major renovations at the course, among them planting new grass at the tee-boxes, fairways and greens; installing new tee-boxes, flags and pins; building a new putting green and driving range; removing more than 500 trees; planting 89 palm trees; and removing the swimming pool.

Renovations have paid off in attracting new golfers to the club. “Last Sunday, we had 132 rounds of golf played at the course,� Brown said. “That’s more than what we had in a week when I took over the course six months ago. And it’s still winter.�

Brown said he has spent some $350,000 in improvements thus far and that the reactions from golfers have made his investment worthwhile. “I’ve had person after person tell me that if you had blindfolded them and taken them to the Bishopville Country Club and then taken the blindfolds off, they would not know where they are,� Brown said. “You know, you can’t recognize this place.�

Club member Hugh Tindal said he and other regulars are excited about the new look. “It’s fantastic,� he said.

RANDY BURNS / SPECIAL TO THE ITEM

Hugh Tindal practices his putting on the new putting green at Bishopville Country Club. Tindal described the improvements made at the course as fantastic and unbelievable and said his visits to the golf course have doubled since the improvements have been made.

“It’s unbelievable the changes that have taken place here in the past few months.�

Removing the 500 trees has opened up the course and made it golfer-friendly. “It’s made the fairways wider,� Tindal said. “And the sand traps actually have sand in them. It’s just a nicer place to play golf.�

Alan Watkins, who serves as county administrator, said the golf course “has become the talk of the town.� “The last two times I have played, I had to wait 30 to 45 minutes to tee off,� Watkins said. “I have

You might have to start calling ahead for tee times.�

Brown said golfers are encouraged to call the clubhouse and reserve tee times. “We have it set up now where we can put your name and time in the computer and have everything set up,� he said.

For Watkins, the most important improvements to the course — overseeding the grass and replacing pine trees with palm trees — have changed the aesthetics of the course. “I don’t know if it has changed how you play

that much,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it just looks like a course you want to play.â&#x20AC;?

Brown said he is excited about being able to attract golfers new to the course, including many from Sumter, Columbia, Camden and Florence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think the people who really appreciate the golf course now are the ones who have never golfed here before,â&#x20AC;? Brown said.

Jim Medlin, course superintendent, estimates that more than 60 percent of golfers on the course have started coming in the past few months.

Medlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, James

Medlin, served as country club superintendent for many years before his death in June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish he could be here to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been done here at this golf course,â&#x20AC;? Jim Medlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He would be so proud.â&#x20AC;?

Jim gives the credit to Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come in here with big plans, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone ahead and done what he said he was going to do,â&#x20AC;?

Medlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to do a lot with this course because we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the resources.â&#x20AC;?

Retired banker Mike Epperson and Bill Conway said there is only one down side to removing 500 trees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trees would keep me from going into the water, and they kept Bill from going into the road,â&#x20AC;?

Epperson joked.

Brown said he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;not doneâ&#x20AC;? with renovations.

Construction on a new 8,200-square-foot clubhouse is expected to begin this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to have the clubhouse finished by June or July,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the time thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finished, we would have spent $1 million on this course.

The new clubhouse will feature a full-scale restaurant, a golf pro shop and a golf course simulator, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the simulator, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to swing the club and play at golf courses all over the country,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the pro shop will have golf clubs, clothing and everything you would find at a pro shop.â&#x20AC;?

Bring on the sequester

S

ooner or later the truth was bound to catch up with the campaigner-in-chief ... er ... the commander in chief.

After four years of doing nothing to cure the nation’s economic ills other than to call for more taxes to feed the voracious federal beast, President Obama began his second term by replicating what seemed to work well enough to earn him re-election: Non-stop campaigning and the exploitation or manipulation of every real or imagined crisis to distract the nation from his failure to lead. Add to that the demonization of any opponents who dare to challenge him (case in point, the woeful Mitt Romney), aided and abetted by a compliant news media composed mainly of eunuchs and geldings, and we are treated to a perfect storm, non-stop and mind-numbing.

However and hopefully, it’s beginning to appear that “Obama fatigue” is setting in as the president finds himself not gaining the traction he hoped for as the sequester begins, all brought on by his intransigence and blamegaming of House Republicans. For awhile, his strategy seemed to be working as the president played Henny Penny, warning that the poor would go hungry, the trains wouldn’t run, air travelers would be stranded, thousands would be thrown out of work and national defenses would be weakened. Those and many more horror stories have made the rounds, all because the sequester has the audacity to cut a measly 3 percent from the federal budget’s discretionary spending that will lead to $85 billion in savings out of a $3.6 trillion budget. Horrors!

How will the government make ends meet? If Obama had any understanding of how the private sector works and the belt-tightening most businesses are undertaking just to make ends meet, he would be standing behind his Teleprompter pledging the federal government would take the lead in making cuts instead of demanding more spending. However, this is a president who has no interest in resolving the current crisis; instead, he wants to exploit it. His primary goal is to create a dependency society while destroying the loyal opposition of the Republican Party, thus ensuring a permanent majority in the years to come led by a president in his own image: the imperial president reigning over his subjects rather than leading and governing. At present, the buck doesn’t stop with the president; it is assigned to those who disagree with him.

In what has become more than just a sidebar to this drama, Bob Woodward, who is likely the most honest and credible of all the socalled journalists in Washington, has begun raining on the Obama parade, declaring in a recent Washington Post article that despite his protests to the contrary, Obama was behind instituting the sequester all along, beginning in 2011. According to Woodward, he determined while researching his latest book, “The Price of Politics,” that “the automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of (White House chief of staff at the time) Jack Lew,” after which Obama personally approved the plan. By the time the 2012 presidential election campaign had kicked in, Obama had passed the buck, stating during the third presidential debate, “The sequester is not something I’ve proposed. It’s something that Congress has proposed.” The guy simply can’t help himself — whenever there’s a buck to be passed, he stands at the head of the line. As Woodward, of Watergate expose’ fame, concludes, when the president “asks that a substitute for the sequester include not just spending cuts but also new revenue, he is moving the goal posts.”

If we are to believe Woodward, and we do, Obama now must play his game on a field he created with the movement of goal posts just so he wouldn’t have to take any responsibility for the bogus scare scenario he is shopping around.

He now owns the sequester, and if the sky doesn’t fall as he is claiming and the government manages to survive the meager cuts, the emperor will be standing in the open wearing no clothes. Woodward, in the meantime, is beginning to feel the slings and arrows from the loyal left for his heresy of doing what he is supposed to do as a journalist: reporting based on facts instead of a narrative invented by Obama and his minions.

It’s time to bring on the sequester so we can see for ourselves if the Henny Penny end of days will really play out or if the president’s warnings are just another fairy tale.

COMMENTARY

For Obama, sequestration purely political

W

ASHINGTON — “The worst-case scenario for us,” a leading antibudget-cuts lobbyist told The Washington Post, “is the sequester hits and nothing bad really happens.”

Think about that. Worst case?

That a government drowning in debt should cut back by 2.2 percent — and the country survives.

That a government now borrowing 35 cents of every dollar it spends reduces that borrowing by two cents “and nothing bad really happens.” Oh, the humanity!

A normal citizen might think this a good thing. For reactionary liberalism, however, whatever sum our ever-inflating government happens to spend today (now double what Bill Clinton spent in his last year) is the Platonic ideal — the reduction of which, however minuscule, is a national calamity.

Or damn well should be. Otherwise, people might get the idea that we can shrink government, and live on.

Hence the president’s message. If the “sequestration” — automatic spending cuts — goes into effect, the skies will fall.

Plane travel jeopardized, carrier groups beached, teachers furloughed.

The administration has every incentive to make the sky fall, lest we suffer that terrible calamity — cuts the nation survives.

Are they threatening to pare back consultants, conferences, travel and other nonessential fluff? Hardly. It shall be air-traffic control. Meat inspection. Weather forecasting.

A 2011 GAO report gave a sampling of the vastness of what could be cut, consolidated and rationalized in Washington: 44 overlapping job training programs, 18 for nutrition assistance, 82 (!) on teacher quality, 56 dealing with financial literacy, more than 20 for homelessness, etc. Total annual cost: $100

billion-$200 billion, about two to five times the entire domestic sequester.

Are these on the chopping block? No sir. It’s firemen first.

That’s the phrase coined in 1976 by legendary Washington Monthly Editor Charlie Peters to describe the way government functionaries beat back budget cuts. Dare suggest a nick in the city budget and the mayor immediately shuts down the fireCharles house. The DMV KRAUTHAMMER back office stacked with nepotistic incompetents remains intact. Shrink it and no one would notice. Sell the firetruck — the people scream and the city council falls silent about any future cuts.

After all, the sequester is just one-half of 1 percent of GDP. It amounts to 1.4 cents on the dollar of nondefense spending, 2 cents overall.

Because of this year’s payroll tax increase, millions of American workers have had to tighten their belts by precisely 2 percent.

They found a way. Washington, spending $3.8 trillion, cannot? If so, we might as well declare bankruptcy now and save the attorneys’ fees.

The problem with sequestration, of course, is that the cuts are across the board and do not allow money to move between accounts. It’s dumb because it doesn’t discriminate.

Fine. Then change the law.

That’s why we have a Congress.

Discriminate. Prioritize. That’s why we have budgets. Except that the Democratic Senate hasn’t passed one in four years.

And the White House, which proposed the sequester in the first place, had 18 months to establish rational priorities among accounts — and did nothing.

When the GOP House passed an alternative that cut where the

real money is — entitlement spending — President Obama threatened a veto. Meaning, he would have insisted that the sequester go into effect — the very same sequester he now tells us will bring on Armageddon.

Good grief. The entire sequester would have reduced last year’s deficit from $1.33 trillion to $1.24 trillion. A fraction of a fraction. Nonetheless, insists Obama, such a cut is intolerable.

It has to be “balanced” — i.e., largely replaced — by yet more taxes.

Which demonstrates that, for Obama, this is not about deficit reduction, which interests him not at all. The purpose is purely political: to complete his Election Day victory by breaking the Republican opposition.

At the fiscal cliff, Obama broke — and split — the Republicans on taxes. With the sequester, he intends to break them on spending. Make the cuts as painful as possible, and watch the Republicans come crawling for a “balanced” (i.e., tax hiking) deal.

In the past two years, House Republicans stopped cold Obama’s left-liberal agenda.

Break them now and the road is open to resume enactment of the expansive, entitlement-state liberalism that Obama proclaimed in his second inaugural address.

But he cannot win if “nothing bad really happens.” Indeed, he’d look both foolish and cynical for having cried wolf. His incentive to deliberately make the most painful and socially disruptive cuts possible (say, oh, releasing illegal immigrants from detention) is enormous. And alarming.

Hail Armageddon.

SAMARITAN from Page A1 suspect, identified as the brother of one of the women, as well as other family members and neighbors were standing nearby “inciting” the fight between the two.

When Singleton, along with others drawn by the fracas, tried to intervene, the suspect allegedly pulled out a gun and, for reasons investigators said remain unclear, fired, striking Singleton in the upper chest.

Police and emergency responders arrived moments later to find Singleton lying in her front yard, after the shooter and other witnesses had fled from the area. She was transported to Tuomey Regional Medical Center where she later died.

Detectives “worked diligently” over the next few hours to collect evidence and interview witnesses in the area, police said. With assistance from Sumter County sheriff’s deputies, Sumter police located Darby at a motel on North Main Street about 12:15 a.m. and took him into custody.

He was at Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center pending bond as of Thursday night.

Holston praised the “great police work” from the officers involved that led to a quick arrest in the case.

Singleton leaves behind two daughters and a son, as well as 14 grandchildren and a 2-year-old great-grandson she affectionately called “Scooter-Poop.”

Her eldest daughter, Katrina Singleton, was receiving other family members and friends at her Sumter home Wednesday after the shooting. The idea that her mother would intervene in a fight among strangers was not unusual.

“She loved people.

She loved life,” Katrina Singleton said. “What she was doing, she would have done for anybody’s children, if

she could prevent them from getting hurt.”

Family members said Singleton would be the first person to bring flowers when anyone else in the community passed away and to expect her funeral to be well-attended. Singleton’s son will be flying in from Montana, where his wife is stationed with the Air Force.

“She was kind of a comedian. She loved to make you laugh,” is how granddaughter Traquetta Butler recalled her.

“She could turn your worst moment into your best moment.”

She never got to meet her youngest grandchild, who had only recently been born.

“My sister just had a baby, and she hadn’t even held it yet,” Katrina Singleton said. “She would call every day to make sure the baby was doing OK, but they never got to have that bond. I’m trying to stay strong, because I’m the oldest, but it’s hard.”

The investigation into the circumstances around the shooting is ongoing. Late Wednesday, police released cellphone video taken of the fight prior to the shooting, showing two women hitting each other and pulling hair while in the roadway.

Others can be seen standing around cheering, one of whom can be seen holding a baby in his arms while taping the fight. Others in the crowd were also videotaping by cellphone.

The video ends when the person filming it appears to drop the camera to the ground.

Police warn that other charges may be filed against those in the area who might have instigated the fight that ended with the killing of Singleton.

“This is a neighborhood of family and friends that gets affected by this foolishness,” Holston said.

Sumter to host Optimist Relays

pionship coach who became the school’s athletic director last July.

Tanner’s program was a Tiger-killer the past few seasons, particularly in the biggest games. South Carolina won two straight over Clemson at the 2010 College World Series on the way to its first crown. A season ago, the Gamecocks knocked the Tigers from the NCAA regional with a pair of 1-run victories.

The Gamecocks have won 18 of the past 25 games in the series. Clemson head coach Jack Leggett said it’d be strange not to see Tanner looking back when the coaches meet at home plate.

If South Carolina weather is anything, it’s unpredictable. And that has the field for Sumter High School’s Optimist Relays to be unpredictable as well.

Sumter High will play host to the relays on Saturday at Memorial Stadium beginning at 10 a.m.Gamecocks boys head coach Gerald Tomlin said the fear of the unknown conditions has caused several teams to back out, but 3A teams Lower Richland, Wilson and Lakewood all have committed.

While it is MCFADDEN uncertain exactly who will attend, the meet will go on.

A coaches meeting is set for 10 and field events will kick off around 10:15 with the women’s shuttle hurdles scheduled to begin the track portion of the races.

“The way the weather’s been it’s been hard on all the teams,” SHS girls head coach Karen McFadden said. “It looks bright for us, but we’re just waiting on some nice weather so we can see what they can do.”

SHS had no runners make the 4A state meet last year as both teams were filled with first-time runners.

Eighteen runners competed at the lower state meet from the boys squad that won the Region VI and it expects to see bigger things this season from the 47-member squad.

Missouri upsets USC women 65-58 COLUMBIA, Mo. — Bri Kulas had 26 points and 12 rebounds as Missouri knocked off No. 14 South Carolina 65-58 Thursday night.

Sydney Crafton added 11 points and Liene Priede had 10 for the Tigers (1613, 5-10 Southeastern), who are 14-4 at home this season with wins over two ranked opponents (the other an 80-63 win over then-No. 9 Tennessee on Feb. 3).

Ieasia Walker and Khadijah Sessions led South Carolina (22-6, 10-5) with 14 points apiece.

Missouri, which has made a school-record 240 3-pointers this season, beat the Gamecocks the oldfashioned way — by pounding the ball inside. The Tigers outscored South Carolina 34-14 on points in the paint and attempted just seven 3-pointers, making three.

Missouri shot 53.5 percent and never trailed in a game that was close throughout. Its biggest lead was eight points when Kulas converted a threepoint play with 52 seconds remaining.

Especially if they perform as they did in beating Clemson (13-14, 5-10) for a 15th time in 16 tries.

They shot 47.3 percent (26 of 55), just the second time in six games they’ve broken 45 percent from the field. Strickland led the way there, too,

INDIANAPOLIS — Chris Paul scored 29 points, while Blake Griffin finished with 18 points and 14 rebounds to help the Los Angeles Clippers hold off Indiana’s late charge for a 99-91 victory Thursday.

CLEMSON from Page B1 hitting seven of his nine attempts.

Reggie Bullock had 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting and nine rebounds. James Michael McAdoo and P.J. Hairston had 11 points each while Marcus Paige added 10 points.

Not everything was perfect.

The Tar Heels led 64-47 with about five minutes to play before giving up a 12-2 Clemson run that cut the lead to single digits. North Carolina was outrebounded by Clemson 39-30 and 14-8 on offensive boards, something that frustrated coach Roy Williams. Clemson’s players

“were going after the ball,’’ Williams said. “We were acting like a bunch of pansies.

Some of those were long rebounds that bounced out, and we’re standing there watching it.’’

Strickland echoed his coach’s sentiments about the sloppy finish. Williams “was excited that we got the ‘W,’ but he was kind of upset we didn’t play as well as we did in the first half,’’ Strickland said.

But Strickland believes things are falling into place for his team to again be a factor during college basketball’s most important month.

“We’re playing together, even better. Team chemistry is there,’’ he said. “We’re just getting more comfortable. Ev-

erybody’s having more confidence and everybody knows their role by now.’’

It was Williams’ 23rd season with at least 20 victories in his 25 years as a head coach, first at Kansas for 15 seasons and now with the Tar Heels. That achievement, though, was not on his mind after this one. “Boy, we finished the game about as ugly as you can finish,’’ he said.

Devin Booker had 25 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Tigers, who lost their third straight and for the sixth time in the past seven games.

Milton Jennings also had a double-double for Clemson with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

There are few better bets

than the Tar Heels getting 20 wins in a season. They’ve reached the milestone in 40 of the past 43 years and last missed the mark in Williams’ first season in 2003-04. Some thought this might’ve been another year when the Tar Heels would stub their toe after opening ACC play 0-2 with losses to Virginia and Miami.

North Carolina has rebounded strongly to win 10 of its past 13 league games and head a group tied for third in the chase for ACC tournament byes in two weeks.

Clemson struggled in the backcourt as guards Rod Hall, Damarcus Harrison and Jordan Roper — all starters — combined to shoot 4 of 25.

There are several rivalGOSSETT ry standouts missing this year. South Carolina slugger Christian Walker, ace Michael Roth and closer Matt Price all left for pro careers. The Tigers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have their best player from a year ago in Richie Shaffer, who was also drafted last June.

Behind the yearly football rivalry, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s typically no bigger face-off for fans than baseball.

Clemsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made 12 trips to the College World Series in its history, half of those under Leggett.

six times since 2002, winning the title in 2010 and 2011 before finishing runner-up to Arizona last summer.

Holbrook knows heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got large footsteps to follow and Clemson will be a strong early test of his leadership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been fortunate to be on the good side of things the last couple of years, but not because we have been that much better. When the games have been in the balance, we have made a critical play here or there, made a critical pitch here or there,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Holbrook said.

That was especially true in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NCAA regional at Carolina Stadium. Clemson led 4-2 in the eighth in a winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bracket game before South Carolina rallied for a 5-4, 12-inning victory.

The Gamecocks took the regional title the next night 4-3 as Clemson left the tying run on base in the ninth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the fans would base our football season on whether we beat (South) Carolina or not,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Daniel Gossett, the Tigers starting pitcher Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So to know that they were the ones who put us out of the tournament was just an extra, extra weight on our shoulders.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

RELAYS from Page B1 Tomlin is relying on sprinters Emmanuel Conyers, Kyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Jon Tyler and Johnnie Brunson, as Devontaye Edwards, who will participate in both the shot put and discus.

Twin brothers Antonio and Antoine Locklin, along with William Knight will run the 400meter dash and the 800meter run, and are hoping to build off last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. David McInnis will join the middle distance group as he expects to compete in the 1,600 and 3,200.

Dashaun Randolph won the region title in the high jump and is expected to also compete in the 200 while lower state participant Karon Dorsey will compete in the 400 hurdles after picking up the event just a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a great feeling we can put more into the state this year than in my four years here at Sumter High,â&#x20AC;? Tomlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel good about the kids we have because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hard work-

ers and deserve to be in the state meet this year.â&#x20AC;?

The girls team has around 45 members and 13 returners from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad highlighted by an up and coming underclassmen group of sprinters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really strong in sprinting right now,â&#x20AC;?

McFadden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to talk some other sprinters into jumpers and other field events, and like always weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be weak distance wise,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have good numbers we just have to be able to use them in the right spots,â&#x20AC;? the SHS girls coach.

This season McFadden hopes to qualify at least five runners for the state meet and perhaps break a recent barrier for the girls squad and qualify as a team for lower state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had bad luck where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sick or missing someone at that meet that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get over the hump and get to state,â&#x20AC;? she explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With what the weather has given us right now and until we get our legs and some meets underneath us, and get the confidence in the girls, we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know until the end.â&#x20AC;?

Gossett will take on South Carolina lefty and former Sumter High and Sumter P-15â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standout Jordan Montgomery, who has won both his starts this season.

Leggett has known Holbrook from the Gamecocks coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time as a North Carolina player and assistant coach from 1990 through 2007.

Leggett expects Holbrook to run things the same way Tanner had, relying on defense, speed on the bases and strong pitching to hold onto leads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a lot like Ray,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Leggett said.

Holbrook has tried to give his players perspective on the rivalry series.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance to measure how far the team has come three weeks into the season. But success this weekend doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guarantee a stellar Southeastern Conference season the same way defeat wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impact what the Gamecocks can achieve when league play starts next month.

Then again, Holbrook doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to hold anything back this weekend.

Count on seeing several pitching changes to hold leads in tight games. Holbrook said if injured shortstop Joey Pankake isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t well enough to play the field, he will still likely start as Gamecocks designated hitter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being honest here, these games are important,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Holbrook said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clemson versus South Carolina. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to us.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Watson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been scrimmaging to see who can help the team the best and where. All of them can play different positions, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to try to put them at the positions that are going to help the team the most.â&#x20AC;?

Both Bettencourts, along with Grooms, are expected to be the main pitchers.

Watson expects both South Florence and Carolina Forest to be the top teams in the region, which she considers one of the toughest in the lower state.

Overall, the SHS coach said she feels this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group is more of a team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They know a lot about softball, and now all they have to do is take their physical attributes and the mental part of the game and put it all together. The biggest thing is gaining their own confidence and everyone gaining confidence in themselves,â&#x20AC;? she explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The region) is going to boil down to who makes the least errors and who has the better hitters.â&#x20AC;?

Villegas takes lead at Honda PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With one great shot, Camilo Villegas turned a solid round into his lowest start in more than a year.

Villegas drilled a 3-wood into 8 feet on the par-5 18th hole and made the eagle putt for a 6-under 64.

That gave him a one-shot lead over Rickie Fowler, Branden Grace, Graham DeLaet and Robert Streb after the first round of the Honda Classic.

Defending champion Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods each had a 70 and walked off PGA Na- VILLEGAS tional with different emotions.

Woods was thrilled it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worse. McIlroy was disappointed it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t better.

Bishopville native Tommy Gainey shot a 3-over 73 on Friday.

MUNOZ LEADS AFTER 1ST ROUND AT HSBC CHAMPIONS

SINGAPORE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Azahara Munoz shot a 7-under 65 Thursday for a two-stroke lead after the first round of the HSBC Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Champions, which features 17 of the top 20 LPGA players.

Munoz played in the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first group and finished with seven birdies. Five players at Sentosa Golf Club shared second at 67: Stacy Lewis, Karin Sjodin, Lizette Salas, Pornanong Phatlum and Sun Young Yoo. IRAQ VETERAN WHO LOST LEG TRIES OUT FOR DODGERS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hope is always in the air during spring training, but for Carlos Pena and the Houston Astros (or the Miami Marlins), the 2013 MLB season doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer much hope on the horizon.

Even in spring, not much hope for Astros, Marlins

BY PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press KISSIMMEE, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Spring training is supposed to be a time of hope.

Unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the Houston Astros. Or the Miami Marlins.

With no-name rosters and in the midst of massive rebuilding jobs, Houston and Miami are more likely to be remembered as among the worst teams in recent history than for making an improbable run at the playoffs.

The Astros lost 107 games last year, after 106 defeats in 2011.

Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main goal will be trying to avoid becoming the first team since the expansion New York Mets in the 1960s to lose at least 106 games in three straight seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one expects us to do well,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lucas Harrell said Thursday, after pitching in a spring training game against the New York Yankees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, when we do well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be kind of like, `Oh, wow.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I definitely think we have a chance to shock a lot of people this year.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Brave words, especially when the Astros face the additional burden of moving from the NL into what looks like the toughest division in baseball, the AL West.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be matched regularly against two 2012 playoff teams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Oakland and Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; plus the high-priced Los Angeles Angels, who have three of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most dynamic players: Albert Pu-

jols, Josh Hamilton and Mike Trout.

Down in Miami, owner Jeffrey Loria totally dismantled the Marlins after a disappointing debut season in a new stadium paid for largely with public tax dollars.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now a pariah in south Florida and a laughingstock through the rest of the baseball, settling for a roster that might do pretty well in Triple-A â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not in the big leagues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still trying to learn their names,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Davey Johnson, manager of the NL East champion Washington Nationals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not even sure what position the names are going in.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the only one.

After trading away nearly all their high-priced players in one stunning offseason, the Marlins are prepared to send out a lineup that includes five players with less two full seasons in the big leagues, plus a rotation that has only one starter with as many as 10 wins in a season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like we have a plan,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; first-year manager Mike Redmond said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will it take a few years? Maybe. But we feel like we have a plan thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to work with a lot of young players and a lot of young talent. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to the challenge and the opportunity.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Redmond keeps reminding his players he was one of 19 rookies on the 1998 Marlins, the remnants of a World Series title team that was torn apart by a previous

owner. Five years later, many of those young players were the centerpiece of another championship squad.

Of course, Redmond probably doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell his team how the Marlins finished in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;98 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 54-108. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fresh start,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, man, nobody gives us a chance to do anything.

We have the ability to go out and surprise some teams. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a better team than people give us credit for. But at the end of the day, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re got to go out there and prove that.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; According to STATS, only 21 teams have finished with a winning percentage of .300 or less since 1900 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just two of those (the 1962 New York Mets, in their first season, and the 2003 Detroit Tigers) in the 162-game era. To avoid joining that infamous list, Miami and Houston will have to win 49 games this season, which might be a challenge.

Certainly, both teams can expect to play before lots of empty seats.

Last season, the Marlins drew 2.2 million to their retractable roof stadium, which was the third-highest total in franchise history but ranked only 12th in the NL and was far below expectations. Not surprisingly after the offseason purge, season-ticket sales have slumped badly and Miami wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come anywhere close to drawing that many fans in 2013.

GLENDALE, Ariz. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A war veteran from Iraq who lost part of his leg in an explosion has tried out for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Daniel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Docâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jacobs was among 80 hopefuls Thursday at the spring training complex of the Dodgers. He was encouraged to attend

by Hall of Famer and former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda.

Jacobs was a Navy corpsman and assigned to a Marine division in 2006 when he was injured by an improvised explosive device. He lost his left leg below the knee and also sustained foot and hand injuries. He went through more than 50 surgeries.

Jacobs later threw out a ceremonial first ball before the Dodgers beat the Los Angeles Angels 10-8.

USC FOOTBALL TICKETS GOING UP $45

COLUMBIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Football ticket prices are going up at South Carolina.

The school announced a $45 increase to season ticket prices for 2013, raising the cost to $365 a seat for the Gamecocks seven-game schedule. The school said Thursday it has not raised football season tickets since 2008.

Athletic director Ray Tanner said the additional revenue will help fund about $53 million in building new facilities and upgrading existing buildings. Among those projects approved by the University of South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of trustees were a $17.5 million football practice facility and outdoor practice fields.

Funds were also approved to improve the plaza area around the football stadium and construct a building for lockers, a weight room and video room next to soccerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stone Stadium.

ROY N. FLYNN Sr. HARTSVILLE — A memorial service for Roy Norbert Flynn, 80, will be held at 2 p.m.

Saturday at Brown-Pennington-Atkins Funeral Home.

He passed away on Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013. Father Zimmerman, of Florence, performed last rites.

Roy was born in Fall River, Mass., a son of the late James Henry and Jane Smith Flynn.

He moved to Hartsville on his 16th birthday and considered himself a reformed Yankee. He served in the Army during the Korean War and was stationed in Alaska.

He was a jack-of-alltrades, and his work career included 16 years at Nucor Steel. In 1991, he founded Flynn Pallet Repair, later purchasing and growing Pee Dee Pallet in Cheraw. His son, Michael, who worked alongside him, now runs the business.

Roy was an active deacon in the church during the 1970’s. Roy was a compelling storyteller, a pied piper of children, and a legend to us all.

Roy leaves behind the broken hearts of his wife, the love of his life, Jerrie Ross Flynn; their children, Roy (Joan), Debbie (Robert), Jamie (Sandra), and Michael (Melanie); his grandchildren, Elizabeth, William, Jeffrey, Patrick, Caroline, Sarah, Katherine, James, Journey, Matthew, and Michael; and three great-grandchildren, Caleb, Flynn and Wayland.

Roy was the eighth of 11 children: Dorothy, Jimmy, Charlie (deceased), Bobby (deceased), Earle, Madeline (Tozlowski), Leo, Harold, Kenneth and Eileen (Griggs).

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis TN 38105. www.bpafuneralhome.com DOROTHY B. RUMPH Dorothy Broadwell Rumph entered into eternal life on Wednesday morning, Feb. 27, 2013.

Born on May 6, 1927, in Sumter, Dorothy was a daughter of the late Edwin Thompson Broadwell and Mabel Platt Broadwell. She at-

tended Coker College, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a bachelor of arts degree in social studies and history.

Dorothy served as a volunteer in the Sumter community as a member of the Junior Welfare League and as a Tuomey Hospital volunteer.

She was a member of the Daughter’s Book Club, Woman’s Literary Club, the Trian Club and the Cotillion Club.

Dorothy was a member of the Church of the Holy Comforter in Sumter, until she married and joined the First Presbyterian Church.

Dorothy is survived by her devoted husband of 63 years, Scott Winfield Rumph Jr.; her sister, Emily Broadwell Hull of Florida; her son, Scott Winfield Rumph III and his wife, Eileen Dee Rumph; her daughter, Emily Rumph Bourgeois of Charlotte; her son, Robert Maitland Rumph and his wife, Evalyn Jackson Rumph, of Garden City; six grandchildren, Townsend Bourgeois Kinsler and husband, Joshua Lewis Kinsler, Sarah Lindsay Rumph, John Rion Bourgeois and wife, Sarah Dickson Bourgeois, Kathryn Rumph Ross and husband, Jason Paul Ross, Robert Maitland Rumph Jr., and Molly Belle Rumph; and two greatgrandchildren, John DeCamp Kinsler and Margot McMillan Kinsler.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her son, Edwin Broadwell Rumph; and three brothers, William Edwin Broadwell, Edwin Thompson Broadwell Jr. and Robert McMillan Broadwell.

Dorothy truly loved the Lord, as was evident by the way she shared His grace with her children and family, and in the way she lived her life. She will be missed by all who loved her.

A private burial will be held.

NBC should take a page from cable’s playbook

BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH “Gold Rush” (8 p.m., Discovery, TV-PG) ends its third season with the three teams finding (spoiler alert!) gold. The end of moose season does not end quite so successfully on “Yukon Men” (9 p.m., Discovery, TV-PG). The antics on “Bering Sea Gold” (10 p.m., Discovery, TV-14) include a joke gone awry and the need for a new dredger.

It’s no secret that shows like these are among the most popular on cable, often outdrawing network series. Their success is due to the distractive quality of extreme workplace shenanigans. But cable networks are also free to air these series repeatedly, allowing viewers to catch them at random and then make a habit of watching them.

Networks are charged with finding the largest audiences, but don’t have the flexibility of their rivals. Tonight, A&E offers viewers all of prime time to get hooked on “Duck Dynasty” (8 p.m. to 11 p.m., TV-PG, r). There’s three “American Pickers” (8 p.m., 9 p.m. and 10 p.m., TV-PG) on History. MTV unscrambles three installments of “Ridiculousness” (8:30 p.m., 9 p.m., TV-PG, and 9:30 p.m., TV-14). That’s a lot

of the same, again and again.

It’s easy to decry the repetitive nature of these schedules, but they represent the way people watch television. In contrast, NBC spends a bundle on a show like “Smash,” only to have people dismiss it as a failure after a few outings in its second season.

Perhaps it’s time for NBC to take a page from cable. Nobody’s watching its current lineup anyway. NBC came in fifth in the February sweeps, losing to CBS, Fox, ABC and Univision.

So why not shake things up? As Bob Dylan once warbled, “When you ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose.”

Would anybody really miss “Dateline NBC” or “Rock Center With Brian Williams” tonight if the network rolled out three helpings of “Smash” instead? Is it a great show?

No. Give the people a chance to decide.

Back when “Project Runway” first aired on Bravo, its ratings weren’t so hot. It only picked up when Bravo aired nothing but “Runway” for a solid weekend. Seriously, NBC, if you showed nothing but “Smash” on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, would your ratings really go down?

The CW has become a bit of a niche network.

But if it has one minor success story, it’s “The Vampire Diaries.” A few years back, the CW aired nothing but “Diaries” for a solid week.

Come on NBC, you’re No. 5. It’s time to try harder. Pick a show, any show: “Smash,” “Grimm,” “Revolution.” Give the people what they want.

And if cable has taught us anything, it’s that the people want marathons, repeats and a chance to pick up a new habit.

• Oceanographer Bob Ballard explains how his search to find the Titanic became a cover story to throw off the Soviet Union on “Titanic: Ballard’s Secret Mission: Revealed” (9 p.m., National Geographic).

• The documentary series “Vanguard” (9 p.m., Current TV) presents “Showdown in Klan Town,” about a group of residents in Harrison, a small Arkansas community, who chose to speak up and challenge their town’s lingering reputation for bigotry.

Tonight’s Other Highlights • Ramsay encounters an arrogant restaurant owner on “Kitchen Nightmares” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

• Reba’s brother

(Blake Shelton) wants to market a barbecue sauce with a secret ingredient on “Malibu Country” (8:30 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

• The numbers point toward a reunion on “Touch” (9 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

• Backstabbing on “Spartacus” (9 p.m., Starz, TV-MA).

• Gordon sets out to blow Carrie’s cover on “Banshee” (10 p.m., Cinemax, TV-MA).

Cult Choice Charlie Chaplin’s 1947 black comedy “Monsieur Verdoux” (8 p.m., TCM), about a serial killing banker, was unpopular upon its release, but has gained a cult following since then.

Series Notes A sporting chance on “Undercover Boss” (8 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14) * A curfew broken on “Last Man Standing” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG) * Ari is located on “Nikita” (8 p.m., CW, TV-14) * On two episodes of “Blue Bloods” (CBS, r, TV-14): Thanksgiving (9 p.m.), a family friend is slain (10 p.m.) * A wristband cure for nausea gets the once over on “Shark Tank” (9 p.m., ABC, r, TV-PG) * Worries about Elena on “The Vampire Diaries”
