Crews rush to finish law center BY ROBERT J. BAKER bbaker@theitem.com Sumter County Clerk of Court Jamie Campbell doesn’t try to hide his excitement when talking about the county’s new Judicial Center. The $20 million facility is scheduled to open in May, which is “on time and on budget,” Campbell said.

“We’re now down to 60 days before we move in,” Campbell said Thursday, days after taking yet another tour through the three-story, 80,000-squarefoot building, which has been taking shape since September 2011. Campbell has been happy to give the tours to employees and other folks who will use the building. “I’m proud of what this

facility is going to be,” he said. “It’s a beautiful building, and Sumter County will be proud of it.” Crews from Sumterbased Thompson Turner Construction are working on the facility seven days a week so that Campbell’s office can take advantage of a three-week window starting in late April where there is no circuit court. “We have a small win-

dow there where we won’t have any court, either common pleas or general sessions,” Campbell said. “That falls at the end of April and beginning of May. That’s when we have to move in. And right now, we’re on schedule ROBERT J. BAKER / THE ITEM for that.” The new judicial center Construction crews have been working seven days a week to get the Sumter County Judicial Center will replace the current ready for its opening less than 60 days from now, SEE LAW CENTER, PAGE A7 according to Clerk of Court Jamie Campbell.

Prison guard sues cellphone companies in 2010 attack BY GLENN SMITH gsmith@postandcourier.com

A large crowd of health-conscious walkers set out from the Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce on East Calhoun Street on Saturday morning for the annual Heart Walk. The three-mile walk through downtown Sumter raises money for the Mid-Atlantic chapter of the American Heart Association.

A former state prison captain wants to hold cellphone providers liable for a 2010 attempt on his life that was said to have been ordered by a vengeful inmate using a smuggled phone. Robert Johnson and his wife, Mary, are suing 20 cellphone companies and cellular tower owners in connection with the March 5, 2010 attack, in which he was shot six times at his Sumter home. They allege that these companies had the ability to block inmate calls from Lee Correctional Institution in SEE LAWSUIT, PAGE A7

Voter rights challenge stirs local figures

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com Cold temperatures Saturday morning didn’t deter a big crowd from hoofing it through downtown Sumter for the annual Sumter County Heart Walk. The Heart Walk raises money for the American Heart Association to combat cardiovascular disease, something a brisk three-mile walk around Sumter’s historic district can do, as well. “Last year’s was great, but this year’s is better,” said Randolph Bynum, the superintendent of Sumter School District, who served as this year’s Heart Walk chairman. “We’ve gotten more involvement from government, the school district, businesses and just ordinary people.” The Heart Walk draws such a crowd, Bynum said, because of the prevalence of coronary problems in SEE WALK, PAGE A6

Monday TV program to feature case of missing Sumter man BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com The case of a man who disappeared without a trace from a Sumter nightclub three years ago will receive renewed attention on national television Monday night. Brandon Graves, called “Peanut” by his friends and family, was a 24-year-old graduate student at Coastal Carolina University when he came to Sumter for homecoming festivities at Morris College. He was last seen at a club called Sabastian’s on Broad Street Extension the night of Jan. 30, where videotape shows him leaving the club about 11:40 p.m. Since then Graves’ trail has gone cold. Now, Graves’s story is being told, complete with dramatic re-enactments of the night he disappeared, on the national TV program “Find Our Missing” on TV One.

Vision in Progess to host meeting Wednesday The Sumter Community Vision In Progress will have its monthly combined neighborhood meeting from 10 until 11 a.m. Wednesday at the James Clyburn Intermodal Transportation Center. Immediately following the combined meeting, all presidents of the neighborhood groups and crime watch groups are asked to meet to discuss an upcoming event. For further information, call Patty Wilson at (803) 491-4910.

Transportation group to meet March 24 The policy committee of the Sumter Urban Area Transportation Study will meet later this month to consider updates to the area’s long-range transportation plan, including improvements to roadways, bicycle paths, public transit and pedestrian traffic. The meeting will take place at City Centre at 25 N. Main St., at 4 p.m. March 25. After hearing details of the plan and public comments on the city’s longterm needs, the committee will meet again at 10 a.m. April 26 to consider final approval.

The program focuses on missing people of color and is produced by the Black and Missing Foundation. The episode featuring Graves’ story will air at 9 p.m. “Find Our Missing” airs on TV One, a cable/satellite channel aimed at a black audience. The channel is available on Time Warner Cable on channel 330 and on DirecTV on channel 328. Family member Martha German spoke to interviewers for the show along with the missing man’s other relatives and friends in the town of Little Rock near Dillon. “They talked to everybody: his high school coaches, family members, his college coaches, the sheriff’s office, all different folks,” German said. “They just flew in one weekend and did everything in people’s living rooms.” German is Graves’ older cousin, but raised him as her own son from the age of 3 after

his mother died. “My sons took him as their brother,” she said. Derrica Wilson, the president of the Black and Missing Foundation, started “Find Our Missing” along with TV One to

highlight missing persons cases from the black community, which Wilson said many feel don’t receive the same level of attention as other missing persons. She notes blacks make up 13 percent of the

population yet account for 33 percent of missing persons. “We’re trying to even the playing field,” she said, “because everybody feels the same way.” She said the program tries to give an uplifting message despite its sometimes grim subject matter. “This season we’re trying to focus more on cases where the missing person has been found, to give the families hope,” Wilson said. Law enforcement is hopeful the show will help bring the case to a close. “I hope someone will say they saw him somewhere,” said Capt. Allen Dailey with the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, who also spoke to interviewers for the show. “It might produce some more leads we can follow up on.” The Black and Missing Foundation operates an anonymous tipline for missing person cases at 877-972-2634.

Lakewood High students visit with Third Army BY SPC. SHARMAIN BURCH Third Army/ARCENT Public Affairs Special to The Item “I want to learn about what soldiers do because soldiers do so much for our country, and I appreciate that,” said Summer Tidwell, a junior at Lakewood High School, one of seven students from LHS who arrived on Shaw Air Force Base early Feb. 26 to tour Patton Hall, Third Army/ARCENT headquarters. The tour, the first of its kind, was arranged by Sumter School District and the Greater Sumter County Chamber of Commerce as a way to introduce career opportunities to students. “This is our first year working with the Chamber of Commerce to be able to give students this opportunity to visit soldiers,” said Gayle Jennings, Lakewood High School career specialist. Upon entering Patton Hall the students saw imprinted on the floor the words “Tertia Semper Prima.” “Tertia Semper Prima means Third Always First,” said Sgt. 1st Class Shaun E. Benoit, Third Army/ARCENT joint visitor bureau noncommissioned officer in charge. “That is Third Army’s motto.” Benoit led the students

is for younger children and focuses on child development, discipline and taking care of oneself so he or she can take care of the child, she said. “A lot of parents are not doing selfcare,” Lies said. “Then you can’t do but so much for your children. It’s hard to be optimistic and positive if you don’t take care of yourself.” Active Parenting is for older children and addresses the role of parents, communication, discipline issues and how to avoid having issues with discipline, she said. “Society is going at such a fast pace, and parents are going in so many directions that sometimes they don’t realize what they say or do,” Lies said. “Sometimes children get caught up in things. They are not responsible for finances, for paying bills or for relationship issues. The focus is not that they are bad par-

ents. Sometimes life consumes us.” She said both men and women attend classes. “Men come in thinking, ‘This isn’t going to do me any good,’” Lies said. “Then before they leave for home they say, ‘thank you so much.’ That is the most rewarding.” That was Nick Gontarz’s mindset when he went the end of last year. “I didn’t expect anything,” he said. “I thought, ‘I’ve been a parent four-and-ahalf years.’ I was thinking she’d end up reiterating stuff I’d already done.” He has a 4-year-old son and a daughter who will soon be 2. But soon, she was giving him pointers on how to get his son to eat at dinner time. “I learned a lot about how to deal with different challenges raising children,” Gontarz said. “It actually helped

Home modifications sometimes necessary for elderly BY LT. GOV. GLENN McCONNELL

With limited mo- McCONNELL bility, you may find that the world you have become so accustomed to through the years now has many new obstacles to overcome. Sometimes, home modification is a viable alternative to more costly types of care. Most of these modifications include minor adjustments to a residence, allowing seniors and people with disabilities to remain in their homes with increased levels of accessibility, mobility and safety.

While some largescale modifications can be pricey, many of the less expensive “quick fixesâ€? take little time, yet provide years of added convenience. These modifications may include installing bathroom grab bars, entry/ exit ramps, an elevated toilet or use of assistive technology equipment. There are a number of resources available across our state that provide help: • SOUTH CAROLINA ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM —

Dinner held to honor preacher’s 50 years FROM STAFF REPORTS Dr. William Phillip Diggs Sr., pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in Florence, has hung up his preacher’s robe after 50 years of service. A Legacy Dinner was recently held March 1 at the Florence Civic Center to thank him for his many contributions. “Dr. Diggs was a tremendous influence not only on the congregation at Trinity Baptist Church, he was also a valued member of the greater Pee Dee area community,� said Alonzo Davis, chairman of the Deacon Board. “We invite the community to join us in celebrating Dr. Diggs’ extraordinary service.� Diggs retired officially on Dec. 31, 2012, but he and his wife, Clotilda D. Diggs, plan to remain active in the Florence community. Diggs is a native South Carolinian, born in Columbia and raised in Rock Hill. He earned a bachelor of arts degree from Morehouse College, a master of arts in sociology from Atlanta University, a master of divinity from Colgate-Rochester Divinity School in Rochester, N.Y., and a doctor of ministry from McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago. He previously served as pastor of Flat Rock Baptist Church in Clover and Galilee Baptist Church in York before coming to Trinity Baptist Church in Florence in 1962. Diggs is a past president and past dean of the Congress of Christian Education, Progressive National Baptist Convention Inc. and past dean of the Southern Region.

He is also a past moderator of the Pee Dee Baptist Association and past dean of the Pee Dee Baptist Workshop. He was also very involved in the community as a member of the Board of Trustees at Friendship College, Benedict College and Morris College, and served on the Board of Directors at Morehouse School of Religion and the Interdenominational Theological Seminary. He is a former board member at the Nannie Helen Burroughs School, the Greater Florence Habitat for Humanity and the Mayor’s Human Relations Council. Diggs is a life member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and previously served as president of the Florence branch. He helped to organize the first civil rights sit-in in South Carolina on Feb. 12, 1960, at Friendship Junior College in Rock Hill. He has received numerous recognitions for his work including the Order of the Palmetto, the state’s highest civilian honor given by the governor in 1996. He has been recognized as Citizen of the Year by Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. He earned the Distinguished Community Service Award from the National Council of Negro Women, was inducted into the South Carolina Black Hall of Fame in 1998, and received the “Building Bridges Humanitarian Award� from the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce and the “Whitney Young Award� from the Pee Dee Area Council Boy Scouts of America.

RIGHTS from Page A1 one another over whether racism and racial discrimination remain a problem, and whether Section 5 of the law remains a viable solution for whatever problems still persist. The section requires any proposed changes to voting laws in nine mostly Southern states — including South Carolina — along with portions of seven other states to receive federal approval to ensure they do not dilute the voting strength of minorities. Shelby County, Ala., sued the Justice Department and Attorney General Eric Holder last year, arguing that its community and others subject to the provision are unfairly targeted by “an outdated formula” devised by Congress in the 1960s, when racial discrimination at the polls was indeed more pervasive. Their argument that Congress surpassed its authority in renewing the provision in 2006 seemed to hit home with U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito and Antonin Scalia. The latter called the law a “perpetuation of racial entitlement,” a comment that rankled Justice Sonia Sotomayor and local civil rights activists. “It’s a racial entitlement?” asked Ferdinand Burns, Sumter branch president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. “That’s about as stupid as you can get. I don’t know what they’re going to decide eventually. I do

know if they strike down Section 5, the pre-clearance provision, there will be demonstrations like you’ve never seen before. Selma will look small by comparison.” Selma, Ala., is roughly 76 miles from Shelby County, a place described by the Associated Press as a “mostly white bedroom community.” Selma was the crucible for the Voting Rights Act, which Congress passed five months after blacks and their supporters marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge there in March 1965 to protest the unfair and racist practices that kept them off voter rolls in Alabama and other Southern states at the time. Civilians and state troopers ultimately met marchers at the far side of the bridge with tear gas, billy clubs and whips. Passage of the Voting Rights Act marked the first time many blacks had their names placed on the voting rolls since Reconstruction began more than 80 years earlier. Before its passage, Southern communities used literacy tests and other devices to keep blacks from voting. Shelby County’s suit acknowledges that past, but says that times have changed. It argues that Southern states, in particular, are being punished for sins committed a half-century ago, an argument that sits well with local Republican leaders. “I think it’s a provision that has long outlived itself,” said Clarendon County Republican Party Chairman Moye Graham. “Nationally, we have a black president, and South Carolina has its first black senator. We have black congressmen

from both parties. And in South Carolina, we have a governor who comes from a minority group. I think it’s unfair to single out certain states, especially South Carolina, when it’s GRAHAM clear that times have changed.” Sumter Republican Party Chairwoman Shery L. Smith said she’d like to see the Section 5 pre-clearance provision eradicated entirely. The permaSMITH nence of other portions of the act, particularly Section 2, would still prevent any city or state from changing voting rules or election districts so as to discriminate against blacks or Latinos, she said. “Much of the South, especially South Carolina, has proven that we’ve moved into the 21st century,” she said. “We don’t need these laws anymore. We have a minority governor. The Republicans are electing minorities. I think we have a better record in this than even the Democrats do. It’s time to move forward and stop focusing on our differences.” Burns said Republican arguments that Southern states are making progress by electing Republican minority candidates rings hollow. He said appointees like Tim Scott do not show the state has made remarkable strides toward racial equality. Scott was appointed to the U.S. Senate to replace Jim DeMint earlier this year. He previously BELK.COM

THE ITEM

served in the U.S. House of Representatives. “We have an appointed senator from a Republican governor, and he votes like Clarence Thomas does on the Supreme Court,” Burns said. “He votes against anything African Americans need. He votes against his own people, against his own interests. We don’t really need him. He’s there, as it may be. But he’s certainly not part of the black community. “Republicans try to do things like that and call it diversity,” Burns continued. “But it’s not diversity. I’d rather have them appoint a white conservative, as I don’t feel Sen. Scott represents our interests.” South Carolina Republican National Committee member Glenn McCall disagreed, saying Democrats use supposed threats to the Voting Rights Act to garner minority votes and to make black voters afraid of the Republican Party. “I think it’s something they throw in our faces,” said McCall, who is black. He’d like to see the Section 5 provision go away entirely, but would settle for Congress making the provision permanent. That way, he said, Democrats could not threaten black voters with the idea that “Republicans will take away their right to vote” when the pre-clearance provision comes up for reauthorization every 25 years. McCall pointed to rumors during the 2004 election cycle that led black voters to believe that if George W. Bush

were re-elected to a second term, he would push against the re-authorization of the act that was then upcoming in 2007. McCall said he believes Democrats led blacks to believe that anything less than reauthorization of Section 5 would mean denial McCALL of suffrage for minorities. “We understand what our forefathers, being African American, did in the civil rights movement,” McCall said. “We know what they went through to have the right to vote. I have no desire, nor does anyone in my party have the desire to take that away.” Smith said that while the pre-clearance provision singles out mostly Southern states for attention, it also causes those states to spend swaths of money and time to defend local changes. She used the state’s fight to approve its new Voter ID law as a “prime example of the wasteful costs this preclearance provision makes states like South Carolina (undertake).” The state’s new law requires voters to show photo identification at the ballot box starting this year, and three federal judges ruled unanimously last year that there was no discriminatory intent behind the law. “We proved that the Voter ID law is constitutional; states before South Carolina had proven that at the federal level,” Smith said. “It cost

A5

millions and millions of dollars for these suits to go all the way to federal court. That is unnecessary time and money spent, quite frankly. That we had to go through all that was pointless. Without Section 5 in place, we would not have had to go through that suit.” Burns, however, argued that the Voter ID law diminishes blacks’ voting rights because South Carolina voters who now lack the proper photo ID are disproportionately black. He said the 5,000 voters in Sumter County alone who lack photo ID are the reason a provision like Section 5 is needed. “They continue to make these laws to hamper people’s right to vote, particularly the African-American population in the South,” Burns said. “Right now, provisions like Section 5 at least make Southern states to have to run laws like the Voter ID through federal clearance. I fear that without it, Southern states could do much more to hinder minority voting.” Sumter Democratic Party Chairman Allen Bailey agreed. “Unfortunately in the South, we have not proven we are worthy to do this on our own,” he said. “We’ve proven in history that we always have to be forced to do things. We had to be forced in the South to allow blacks their proper right to vote. We’ve made progress in race relations, but because of things like Section 5, because of things like affirmative action, SEE RIGHTS, PAGE A6

Vicki Saunders co-chaired the fundraising effort at DeLaine Elementary School, raising $286 for the effort, not bad for a small school.

LAWSUIT from Page A1 Bishopville, where Johnson worked, but chose instead “to facilitate this illegal activity.� The couple, who are represented by Hampton County attorney John E. Parker, are seeking unspecified damages. Prison officials have repeatedly cited Johnson’s case to illustrate the need for technology to block calls from contraband cellphones that are smuggled into corrections facilities for inmates to use. For more than two years, South Carolina has been seeking federal permission to jam cellular signals at state prisons, but the request has stalled before the Federal Communications Commission, despite support from 30 other states.

Regulators have said a 1934 law allows only federal agencies to jam public airwaves. And cellphone companies have argued that jamming methods suggested by the states could interfere with emergency communications and other cellphone use in the area. Johnson’s attorney said he thinks cellphone companies have a legal duty to help stop activities that present a reasonable chance of harm to others. “It makes no sense to me why they would fight that,� he said. “We are hopeful that this (lawsuit) may be the catalyst that causes some changes to be made so that these type of events don’t happen in the future.� The Post and Courier attempted to contact the companies named in the lawsuit. They either did not respond or declined to comment Friday.

LAW CENTER from Page A1 courthouse, which was built more than 100 years ago and which many of its current offices outgrew years ago. The buildings are separated by merely a crosswalk, but Campbell said they are light years apart when he thinks of how the new building will serve Sumter residents. “This courthouse is over 100 years old, and daily traffic is much higher than a facility this old and this size can handle,� said Campbell, who has estimated in the past that more than a third of Sumter County’s population treks through the courthouse during any given year. “What we needed to do was have more meeting space available for clients and attorneys, more secure facilities, and more space to grow, and this new facility gives us that.� Campbell’s office won’t be the only one calling the new building home. He and his staff will be joined by both probate and family courts, the 3rd Circuit

Solicitor’s and Public Defender’s offices and the county’s probation department. The building has five courtrooms spread out among its floors, and everyone has room to grow. Family Court’s extensive operations will be moving from the County Administration Building, whose seven stories sit between the new building and the Sumter County Library. “You’ve seen what (the public defenders) are like right now in the old building,� Campbell said. “The public defenders, like everyone in the courthouse, are cramped. But they’re probably cramped the most. They’re just in those cubicles. Here, they have offices and meeting places for them and their clients and for staff meetings. They even have a closet where defendants can keep their clothes for trial.� Campbell said nearly all departments that will occupy the building got a say in how their new

Johnson, 59, worked for the state Department of Corrections for 16 years before he retired in June 2011. Parker said the attack left Johnson disabled and with “serious health problems,� though he declined to provide specifics. Johnson is now employed, he said. An inmate inside Lee Correctional allegedly used a smuggled cellphone to order a hit on Johnson because he was cracking down on contraband at the maximum-security prison, according to the lawsuit. As Johnson was preparing for work, a gunman broke down the front door of his home and shot Johnson six times in the chest and stomach in front of his wife, the lawsuit states. Johnson told the Associated Press in 2010 he thought the intruder was impersonating a police officer. ““I heard a yell, ‘Police!’� he

home would work for them. Since county approval for the building in 2008 — after voters approved a penny sales tax that will foot the $20 million bill for this and other projects — Campbell has promoted the new facility not only as a way to help speed up the judicial process and make court proceedings more secure, but also to help jumpstart revitalization downtown. “The new building site transforms an ugly, unorganized parking lot into a civic landmark,� reads the design proposal from Columbia-based Stevens & Wilkinson. “It is sited to have visual connection with the historic courthouse — past to future.� Director of Architecture Ashby Gressette echoed that statement in an Item file story. “We wanted to focus on important things, the relationship between the old and the new,� he said. “That area is an important and historic part of the city. Putting a focus on that part of the site was a good thing when you think about downtown development.�

in these courtrooms.� Defendants will have their own holding facility that will empty into the courtroom proper. “Right now, in the smaller courtroom at the courthouse, you have defendants who come right by the judge and court personnel,� Campbell said. “We’ve not had any major problems, but this goes just one step further into making everything secure.� That security is key due to both an order by state Supreme Court Chief Justice Jean H. Toal in 2006 that courthouses beef up security, and a 2007 incident where a defendant was seen loading a gun in a first-floor restroom at the existing courthouse. To help curb security risks, the new facility will have one entrance and one exit for the public, whereas the old facility has two. “We will also have a place where defendants come in separately, and

the judges will have their own separate entrance and parking area,� Campbell said. Parking at the facility will also be “ample.� “We did four flyovers during (busy) court sessions, for common pleas and general sessions, and we were pretty packed in here,� Campbell said. “But we think it will be enough space.� With so much moving out of the old courthouse, Campbell said he is unsure what will be done with that extra space. “That’s the $64 million question I keep getting asked,� Campbell said. “Everyone wants to know what will happen to the old courthouse. Voter registration, emergency management and the Register of Deeds will remain for certain. We’ll have to figure out the rest. I just know that we’re ready to get into our new building and get to work.�

zens, promote local businesses and organizations and hold local governments accountable. Such a process has historically contributed mightily to the health of any community. It’s really that simple. But don’t listen to me, listen to Warren Buffett. Here are some excerpts: Before television and the Internet, newspapers were the primary source for an incredible variety of news, a fact that made them indispensable to a very high percentage of the population. Whether your interests were international, national, local, sports or financial quotations, your newspaper usually was first to tell you the latest information. Additionally, the ads themselves delivered information of vital interest to hordes of readers, in effect providing even more “news.” Indeed, big department stores and grocers vied to outshout their competition with multi-page spreads, knowing that the goods they advertised would fly off the shelves. Now the world has changed. Stock market quotes and the details of national sports events are old news long before the presses begin to roll. The Internet offers extensive information about both available jobs and homes. Television bombards viewers with political, national and international news. In one area of interest after another, newspapers have therefore lost their “primacy.” Newspapers continue to reign supreme, however, in the delivery of local news. If you

want to know what’s going on in your town — whether the news is about the mayor or taxes or high school football — there is no substitute for a local newspaper that is doing its job. A reader’s eyes may glaze over after they take in a couple of paragraphs about Canadian tariffs or political developments in Pakistan; a story about the reader himself or his neighbors will be read to the end. Wherever there is a pervasive sense of community, a paper that serves the special informational needs of that community will remain indispensable to a significant portion of its residents. ••• Last week there was a mistake in the print version of my column about the passing of Anness Osteen Stafford, who was Item Founder and my great-grandfather Hubert Graham Osteen’s niece. Her late husband was Vance “Emerish” Stafford, and her brother-in-law is Charles “Ellis” Stafford, a former treasurer of Sumter County and father of Steve, Pat and Charles Stafford. I apologized to Steve and all my other cousins for any confusion this may have caused, and it was corrected immediately in the online edition of The Item. I’m sure that’s what Warren Buffett would have expected to happen. Got to get it right for the local newspaper. Graham Osteen is a co-owner of Osteen Publishing Co. and Editor-At-Large of The Item.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letter writers seem to believe in spaghetti theory In checking out the overlong letters in Tuesday’s Item, the writers like to cite stuff they Google off the Internet and say it’s fact. All it proves to me is that they all believe in the spaghetti theory: Throw enough of it against the wall and some of it might stick! JOHN PLATELL Sumter

talks about fact and reality and truth. She asks if we were proud when Rep. Joe Wilson, not Jim, called President Obama a liar during a 2009 healthcare speech to Congress. I wouldn’t say I was proud, but at the same time I and millions of truth-seekers across the country were shouting “liar” at our TV sets. I purposely did not watch the state of the union address this year because I can’t stand to see the man stand up and lie over and over again and see the Democrats applauding him for his lies and cover-ups. As for her bringing Mark Sanford into the conversation, I hope Mark Sanford wins the

election, as we need him back in Washington, D.C. I would remind her that the Democrats hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in great esteem in spite of his serial womanizing and the fact they are both proven perjurers. Last, but not least, I would suggest that Ms. Nelson take some time to watch Fox News instead of repeating the Democrat mantra. Fox News is the only highly watched media that more consistently reports the facts and the truth. At least both sides of an argument are aired, unlike ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. WARREN C.

Tigers tops Gamecocks 6-3 Schmidt allows 5 hits in 7 innings

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

South Carolina first baseman L.B. Dantzler, left, holds on to the baseball for an out as former Thomas Sumter Academy standout and Clemson runner Maleeke Gibson attempts to beat out a bunt during the Tigers’ 6-3 victory at Fluor Field in Greenville on Saturday. Clemson evened the series at one game apiece with today’s contest at Carolina Stadium in Columbia beginning at 3 p.m.

Schmidt shut down the South Carolina’s potent lineup most of the way, allowing only a pair of solo homers to Max Schrock and LB Dantzler in the sixth. “We’ve got some

very exciting freshman, we’ve known that from the beginning,” Clemson coach Jack Leggett said. “Clate was outstanding today.” The result sets up a series showdown Sun-

day at South Carolina’s Carolina Stadium, where the Tigers have not won since 2010. The mound matchup at frigid Fluor Field, home of the Class A Greenville Drive, was

Green shot 8-for-12 from the field, including 5-for-7 from 3-point range. “He was just fantastic, unbelievably efficient, 29 points off 12 shots,” said Clemson coach Brad Brownell. “He made some shots off screens. He made

hen the Sumter High School varsity boys basketball team emerged from the Florence Civic Center locker room following its loss to Goose Creek in the 4A lower state championship game on Feb. 22, there were sad, long looks on the faces of the players and the coaching staff. And rightfully so. The Gamecocks had fallen a game short of playing for a state title for the first time since the 1985 season. The finality of the season being over was no doubt starting to be realized, but come to find out, there was more to it than that. Not only had their season come to an end, but the Gamecocks found out that head coach Sam Fuller’s tenure at SHS had just Dennis drawn to a close as BRUNSON well. Fuller let his team know that his just completed second season at the helm at Sumter would be his final one. So what looked to be the start of an outstanding coaching career for Fuller ended up being the end — at least for now. What the Gamecocks did under the guidance of Fuller and assistant coaches Jeff Schaffer and Derrick Hastie was tremendous. When asked during the preseason how many starters he had returning from the 2011-12 team, Fuller responded with a laugh, “Half a starter.” He was referring to post player Auntrell Holloway, who started on and off on a team that went 18-8, finished third in Region VI-4A and lost out in the first round of the state playoffs. Yet in making that remark, Fuller stated he felt this team had a chance to be pretty good. Of course, hope springs eternal before a season starts, and sometimes things are said just to be said. I got the feeling though Fuller was sincere in every word he said. While I sensed Fuller’s sincerity, I questioned how realistic his hopes were. There was SEE PROUD, PAGE B5

Kelly lifts Duke past Miami DURHAM, N.C. — Duke’s Ryan Kelly sure didn’t look like a guy who hadn’t played in two months.

Kelly knocked down 10 of 14 shots — including 7 of 9 3-pointers— for the Blue Devils (25-4, 12-4 Atlantic Coast Conference), who avenged a blowout road loss in January by grinding out a tough win in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Quinn Cook added 15 points as Duke built a 10-point lead with about 2 minutes left then held off a frantic rally by Miami.

Kacinas made a pair of free throws beforehand to leave South Carolina up 36-34. Elston Turner’s jump shot was the beginning of a 12-0 run that allowed the Aggies to take a 46-36 lead with about nine minutes remaining.

World Series who threw six nohit innings his last time out. But Duggar helped Clemson strike first, singling off Holmes and scoring on Garrett Boulware’s double moments later. Jay Baum made it 2-0 Clemson with a single to score Boulware. Holmes was in trouble again in the fifth when Steve Wilkerson singled in one run and Shane Kennedy walked to load the bases. Adam Westmoreland replaced Holmes on the mound and Duggar struck the biggest blow for the Tigers with a tworun single up the middle to give Clemson all the runs it would need. And whenever South Carolina certainly had chances Schmidt and closer Matt Campbell were there to shut them down. Schmidt bounced back from the homers by Schrock and Dantzler by striking out Joey Pankake and Grayson Greiner to end the inning. Schrock led off the eighth for South Carolina (7-2) with a walk

Field, surpassed only by a 2009 rehab start by former Atlanta Braves great John Smoltz. First-year South Carolina coach Chad Holbrook said he didn’t expect Clemson to throw in the towel after losing the series’ opener. He said he’ll treat Sunday’s contest as a practice for what Holbrook hopes is an NCAA super regional series down the road. “It’s a nice series to win. It’s an important series to win,” Holbrook said. “Our guys will be excited and ready to go.” Clemson’s Leggett said he hasn’t made too much of last night’s loss with his players, won’t act like Saturday’s victory was more than just one win and won’t dwell too much on Sunday’s outcome, win or lose. “There’s no question in my mind I want my team to go out there and play, relax and do what they have to do,” he said. “We’ll enjoy this one for now and get ready to play tomorrow.” Schmidt improved to 2-0 while Holmes fell to 1-1. Campbell picked up his third save of the season for the Tigers.

We’re going to play defense,” Elston Turner said. “Offense will come. We’re not really worried about offense. If we’re able to not let them score, we’ll score eventually.” South Carolina couldn’t get anything going on offense for the first 10 minutes after halftime en route to just over 29-percent shooting in the second half. The victory broke a two-game skid for Texas A&M (17-12, 7-9), and was the ninth loss in 10 games for South Carolina (13-16, 3-13). Michael Carrera’s 16 points led the Game-

During that span, Virginia Tech produced a 14-4 scoring run. Green scored six points during that run. The Hokies outscored the Tigers 22-8 through the final 11 minutes of the half and led 36-25 at halftime. “We struggled against the zone,” Brownell said. “We couldn’t make a shot. We got a little tentative. We’re just not a great shooting team. We missed some and probably got a little frustrated. We made a little bit of an adjustment at halftime, and we were a little bit better against the zone in the second half.” Clemson shot 37.5 percent from the field in the first half. The Tigers converted 46.7 percent after halftime. Clemson mounted its own 14-4 run in the second half and trimmed the deficit to two points with 10:06 to play.

Kyle Busch leads a line of cars out of Turn 4 during the Nationwide Series Dollar General 200 on Saturday in Avondale, Ariz. Busch went on to win the race, leading 142 laps.

Kyle Busch wins again at Phoenix BY JOHN MARSHALL The Associated Press AVONDALE, Ariz. — Kyle Busch overcame a mid-race gaffe on pit road with a dominating performance, leading 142 laps to win his KYLE BUSCH fifth Nationwide Series race at Phoenix International Raceway on Saturday. Busch started from the pole and shook off a speeding penalty to pit road with what was easily the fastest car during the 200-lap race around PIR’s mile oval. He eclipsed 11,000 career laps during the race and picked up his 52nd Nationwide victory, extending his own record. Busch has won seven times at Phoenix, including once in Sprint Cup and twice in the trucks series. Brad Keselowski finished second and Justin Allgaier was third. Trevor Bayne finished fourth, followed by Elliott Sadler.

KISSIMEE, Fla. — Craig Kimbrel was like a little kid Saturday in the Braves clubhouse, talking excitedly about his chance to work with a couple of Atlanta greats at the World Baseball Classic. Greg Maddux is handling the pitchers for the U.S. team. Dale Murphy KIMBREL will be the first base coach. Someone mentioned getting the three of them together for a picture. “Be sure to send me a copy of that,” said Kimbrel, an Alabama native who grew up cheering for the Braves. “I want to get them to sign it.” After the season he had in 2012, Maddux and Murphy may want their own autographed copies. Quite simply, Kimbrel had one of

the greatest years ever for a closer: 42 saves, a 1.01 ERA, just 27 hits allowed in 62 2-3 innings, an astonishing 116 strikeouts — more than half of the 231 batters he faced. “I’m proud of what I did last year,” he said. Now, what to do for an encore? “I can’t dwell over last year,” Kimbrel said. “That’s in the past. It’s not going to help me this year. If anything, it’s going to magnify me going out there and having a big target on my back.” When Kimbrel is on, he’s simply unhittable. He can blow batters away with a 100 mph fastball. When he mixes in a knee-bending slider — which is harder than most pitchers’ fastballs — well, it just doesn’t seem fair. He’s also improved his control dramatically, issuing only 14 walks last season. When called up to the big leagues for the first time in 2010, he walked 16 in 20 2-3 innings.

Guthrie, Thompson tied for Honda lead PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Michael Thompson felt like he was playing in a U.S. Open whenever he saw his golf ball in the rough or the scores on the leaderboard at the Honda Classic. No one was going anywhere Saturday at PGA National. In cool, blustery conditions on a course with water hazards at nearly every turn, the strategy was to keep the head down and keep big numbers off the scorecard. Thompson and PGA Tour rookie Luke Guthrie managed to do that well enough to share the lead going into the final round. Guthrie was tested his first time in the last group on tour and made a collection of solid pars on his final eight holes for a 1-over 71. Thomp-

Blue over Bluebirds BY AUSTIN JENKINS Naturalist, University of South Carolina Sumter Special to The Item Last night my daughter wanted to draw a bird. Elated she was showing common interest, I quickly answered her request to view the “bird book” in order to find the perfect candidate. She thumbed through the pages, impressed by the vast array of coloration found in our native species. She finally landed on Eastern Bluebird, pointed to the most colorful photo and asked, “Is that the mommy or the daddy?” I told her it was the daddy, and that in nearly all cases, the daddy bird is the more colorful of the two. Dumbfounded, she perused other pages, JENKINS asking me in each instance the same question as before, further substantiating her daddy’s words. Then came the silence. Then came the pouting. Then came these words, “I don’t want the daddies to be prettier than the mommies.” And in an instant, she put the bird book down and went back to her princess dolls, all of which obey her preconceived precepts of beauty. One day I hope to explain to her that the colors of feathers, for many reasons, are well worth celebrating. As for the difference in genders, biologists call this sexual dimorphism, and it happens in many species for many reasons. In birds, the female is often the primary incubator of eggs. Her drab colors are better considered camouflage, not willful ugliness as my daughter assumed. In contrast,

the male has bright coloration as a means to attract the female. While we take it for granted, bright coloration is an uncommon occurrence in nature, found mostly in poisonous animals and birds. This makes sense. Bright colors are obvious to predators, and one must have a ready defense if they choose to don such a display. Poison works well for obvious reasons. For birds, flight provides a means of escape. For this reason, flight is thought by some to be the very phenomenon allowing for the development of bright coloration in birds. Otherwise, it would be hard to get away with such splendor. Feather color is the result of either structure or pigment. The bright, iridescent colors we associate with our Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are structural. Tiny air pockets inside the feathers bend light, separating it like a prism and causing you to see different colors on the throat depending on the angle between you, the bird, and the sun. In teaching my natural history students to identify birds by color, this is often a frustration, since such colors are not constant. Other local examples of this are the backs of Common Grackles. The blue on my daughter’s bluebird works similarly, the only difference being that all wavelengths except blue are cancelled out by the feather

structure. This all seems magical, but if you need proof of it, try this experiment the next time you find a blue feather. Hold it between your eye and the sun, and watch the blue disappear. The change occurs because structural colors depend on refraction and reflection of light. By holding the feather between your eye and the sun, you eliminate this effect. The only color you see is a dark gray, which represents another means of color production, that of pigmentation. Pigment accounts for colors such as red, yellow, brown, and black. Red and yellow are obtained from carotenoid pigments found in the diet of birds. Our Northern Cardinals and various warblers exhibit this phenomenon. Browns and blacks are the result of the pigment melanin. Melanin is associated with compounds that strengthen the structure of the wing. For this reason, areas vulnerable to wear and tear, such as wingtips, are often dark in color. Look for this common trend in birds like hawks and seagulls. Feathers are full of amazing features, and a column on coloration only strikes at the surface. We can investigate feathers more fully in the future. In the mean time, try not to lament over the feather differences donned by our birds. Despite my daughter’s disappointment, the differences are worthy of adoration, especially when you consider their adaptive significance and multiple means of manifesting color. Austin Jenkins is a naturalist at USC Sumter where he teaches Environmental Biology and Natural History of South Carolina.

FISHING REPORT Santee Cooper System Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Jim Glenn reports that the best technique on Lake Marion recently has been anchoring in 25 plus feet of water and fishing flat lines on the bottom with just about any type of cut bait. Fish in the 20-55 pound range have been boated with some regularity, and anglers should look on their graph for areas that contain baitfish before setting up. Fishermen need to stay on the move and prospect in different spots. One other productive pattern on most days is fishing suspended baits on down rods along the edge of the river channel on Lake Marion.Freshwater Report Lake Murray Black bass: Fair. Lake World advises that there are two main patterns for catching bass. Fishing drop shots and Carolina rigs around points and open water humps in 12-25 feet of water is the primary pattern, but on warm afternoons fish can be found in the shallows sunning. In recent tournaments some anglers have done very well, but there have also been many a large number of fishermen who have had trouble locating fish. Fish are moving with the bait and can be “here today and gone tomorrow,” but rocky points are a good place to look. Many anglers have found that the best feeding window is early in the morning. Lake Wateree Largemouth Bass: Fair. Captain Chris Heinning reports the largemouth bass bite remains somewhat slow, but the fish being caught have good weight to them. Soon the warming air and water temperatures will have bass more active and more moving up to shallows.

Lake level is down a few feet and water is fairly muddy for Wateree after recent rains and discharge. Concentrate on rocky points and banks using bright color vibrating cranking hardbait. Lake Greenwood Crappie: Fair to good. Tournament angler Russell Riley reports that crappie are near the river channel and he is catching them a couple of feet off the bottom in 14-18 feet of water. When water temperatures start to warm fish will first move vertically in the water column, and the next move will be shallower towards the mouth of creeks. A combination of jigs and minnows is working. Largemouth Bass: Fair. There continues to be some scattered schooling activity across Lake Greenwood, with bass, striper, and some other species all mixed together. Fish can also be located by following the birds, and bass, striper and white perch can all be caught jigging spoons underneath the birds when fish are not on the surface. Some decent bass are also being caught fishing crankbaits off points, and on warmer days some fish can be found in the backs of coves. Lake Monticello Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that catfishing has been surprisingly consistent on Lake Monticello despite up and down weather. Anchoring and fishing cut bait has been and will continue to be the go-to method for the next few months and for now the depth of the baitfish schools dictates the depth where anglers need to be fishing. 50-70 feet is the best range right now. Gizzard shad, herring and white perch are the best cut baits.

Sumter Home Sales increase in January Residential home sales in the Sumter area increased by nearly 24 percent in January while sales prices for residential property rose by more than 4 percent when compared to the same time last year, according to a report from the South Carolina Realtors. Statewide, housing sales climbed slightly more than 17 percent while prices remained relatively flat. With the recent up-tick, the median price for a home in the Sumter area was about $115,000 in January, compared to $145,500 statewide. The January increase in local sales comes after a December 2012 in which local housing sales dropped by more than 17 percent when compared to the previous December. According to the statewide real estate office, homes in Sumter still remain on the market for 166 days on average, which is more than five weeks longer than the average home statewide.

Sumter exports reached $160M in 2011 About $160 million in merchandise was exported overseas from Sumter in 2011, according to a recent report released by the U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration. In the same report, the federal commerce office said South Carolina exported about $25.2 billion in total merchandise in 2012, of which about a third was in transportation equipment. About 7.6 percent of South Carolina’s total private-sector jobs are linked to exports, commerce said. Canada continues to be the state’s largest market for exported merchandise, receiving $4 billion in Palmetto State exports. Germany, China, Mexico and the United Kingdom round out South Carolina’s top five overseas markets.

Morris College attempting to win Home Depot grant Morris College is campaigning to win one of this year’s “Retool Your School” Campus Improvement Grants from Home Depot. The Sumter-based college is competing with other Historically Black Colleges and Universities in hopes of receiving a grant to repair the front entrance/gate area off North Main Street. According to Home Depot, awards will be granted based on votes and social media activity. Morris College has placed a link to voting on its website — www.morris.edu. The voting period for the contest ends April 15.

Transportation department seeks online input The South Carolina Department of Transportation is accepting online input as part of its Statewide Multimodal Transportation Plan, hoping the comments will help guide the department on how to allocate future funds. The survey, looking for opinion on both existing and future transit services, can be found at https:// www.surveymonkey.com/s/B7TWKX8. A review of the current plan itself can be found at http://www. scdot.org/Multimodal/default.aspx. The final day to complete the online survey for consideration is March 12.

Hiring Our Heroes coming to Sumter, Columbia BY BRADEN BUNCH bbunch@theitem.com The Hiring Our Heroes program, a nationwide effort designed to help military veterans find jobs, returns to both the Sumter and Columbia areas over the coming weeks. The job fair, available for both veterans and military spouses, will be in Sumter from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. April 4. As it was in September, the job fair will return to the American Legion Post 15 location on Artillery Drive. The program is sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce, the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce and various veteran support groups. Before the Sumter event, the job fair will be in Columbia from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday at the Solomon Center, 6510 Strom Thurmond Boulevard, at Fort Jackson. Veterans looking for jobs can register for either event at hoh.greatjob.net. Registration for the event is free. Walkins will be allowed at both job fairs as well. However, veterans must be able to provide proof of service upon arrival. Employers looking to participate in

the Sumter fair can also register at the hoh.greatjob.net website. Grier Blackwelder, president of the Sumter Chamber, said at the last Sumter event about 40 employers, primarily local, participated. He hopes more will attend in April. “It’s probably the highest, or one of the highest, unemployed segments of our society,” Blackwelder said, “so any way we can help get these folks back in the mainstream, we’re certainly glad to be a part of that.” And while businesses are being lined up for the Sumter fair, more than 85 employers are expected to participate at the Columbia event. The Columbia event will also include a free GE employment work-

shop featuring one-on-one mentoring sessions on résumé building, résumé writing and interviewing techniques. Since beginning two years ago, the Hiring Our Heroes has helped more than 14,000 veterans find work, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce reports. In addition to the job fair, Hiring Our Heroes has also formed a partnership with Military.com to set up a website dedicated to assist veterans in acquiring job-seeking skills. The website — www.military.com/hiringourheroes — assists veterans in writing résumés and interview tips, as well as offers points on how to transfer military skills and experience to the private sector.

Companies struggle to popularize mobile money BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Mobile money may seem like a hot concept, but consumers aren’t warming to it. At the world’s largest cellphone trade show, here in Barcelona this week, the 70,000 attendees are encouraged to use their cellphones — instead their keycards — to get past the turnstiles at the door. But very few people took the chance to do that. The process of setting up the phone to act as a keycard proved too much of a hassle. It’s a poor omen for an industry that’s eager to have the cellphone replace both tickets and credit cards. Companies are building chips antennas into phones that let the gadgets interact with “tap to pay” terminals and other devices equipped with short-range sensors, like subway turnstiles. But getting the technology to do something useful and convincing people to adopt it is a slow process. To make a payment in a store with your cellphone, “you need a lot of things to align,” said Reed Peterson, who heads the Near-Field Communications initiative for the GSM Association, a global trade group for the wireless industry. The phone needs to be properly equipped with NFC hardware and software; the store needs to have the proper equipment and training. The phone company needs to support the transaction, and banks and payment processors need to be in on it. Some of these things have fallen into place, Peterson said, but the network of commercial agreements that supports these payments needs to expand. And consumer demand remains elusive. “I want to get to the point where the consumer goes into the store and says ‘Show me only the phones that have NFC’,” Peterson said. Today, a buyer is quite likely to go into a store and ask for an iPhone, and that’s an obstacle to NFC adoption. Apple Inc. is the lone holdout among major smartphone makers, and hasn’t built NFC into any of its devices yet. Visa, the global pay-

The Galaxy S IV is expected to be launched at an event in New York on March 14, though the name has not been confirmed. The “secure element” is sort of like a safe inside the phone. Whoever controls access to it decides which credit cards, transit passes or other verified “documents” the phone can store. A bank that wants to let customers use their Samsung smartphones as virtual credit cards will

have to go through Visa. Control of the secure element is a crucial battleground for NFC. The GSMA, which is dominated by cellphone carriers, advocates putting the secure element not in the phone itself, but in the subscriber identity module, or SIM card, which plugs into the phone to identify the user and supply a phone number to the network. SIM cards are issued and controlled by the carriers who would like to be the ones in control of the secure element. While Visa, phone companies and Google (which has its own payment initiative) duel over the secure element, eBay Inc.’s

PayPal is wondering what all the fuss is about. The online payment network thinks NFC is a lot more trouble than it’s worth. The company isn’t afraid to say so at the wireless industry tradeshow. “If you want to change something, you have to solve problems that people have in everyday life,” said David Marcus, the president of PayPal. “It’s not like everyone is thinking ‘Oh, I wish someone came up with something better’” than paper money and credit cards. PayPal is putting a lot of effort into making cellphones central to the way we shop, but is focusing on the shopping experience itself, rather than payments. The company’s ideal vision for buying a cup of coffee: You pull out your phone on the way to the store, fire up PayPal’s app to order your doubleskim latte and pay for it in advance. When you arrive at the counter, the barista has your picture and your coffee, and gives it to you right away. Then you’re out the door.

nterest in the traditional art of making quilts has been growing for many years, and the Swan Lake Quilt Guild Extravaganza, the group’s fourth, will demonstrate the reasons on March 16 and 17. Guild members will exhibit their work from the past two years at Patriot Hall from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday and from 1-4 p.m. Sunday. Antique quilts will also be displayed. Betsy Stewart, spokeswoman for the guild, said the extravaganza covers just about every aspect of quilting, from its history to current trends. “We have around 85 members,” she said, “and most of them are showing their work.” She is expecting even more than the 200 quilts entered in last year’s show, Stewart said, “ranging in size from small wall quilts to huge bed quilts. ... Art quilts and quilted clothing and accessories will also be displayed.” Guild member Barbara Fitzsimmons’ work will be showcased in a special display.

“She is an accomplished shed quilter whose work has been featured in Quilters Newsletter magazine,” Stewart said. Fitzsimmons makes quilts based on children’s picture books. When guild members get together for their monthly meetings, they don’t just sit around and work on their quilts, Stewart said. They share information, trade fabric and “We have some special fun projects and charitable projects,” she said. One “fun” project that will be represented during the extravaganza involves the making of “challenge quilts.” Stewart explained that challenge quilts are made “when a member brings in a big bolt of a fabric — it’s always really unique or horrendously ugly.” She laughed. “There’s a theme, and

eve eryone makes a quilt usi everyone using the fabric. The fabric has to be visible on the front of the quilt.” She recalled a particularly difficult challenge for which the fabric was “a rather ugly, orange paisley that had to be used to make a patriotic quilt.” The rest of the guild’s quilts will be based on traditional styles and patterns or will be “art quilts,” and Stewart promises they’ll be well made, interesting and beautiful to look at. Many are utilitarian, while others are works of art meant to be displayed as such. “Attendance has grown at each of the extravaganzas,” she said. “Last year, we had more than 450 people come through.” For many years, the guild has made SEE EXTRAVAGANZA, PAGE C6

Mom insists 50-year-old son wear late husband’s clothes

EAR ABBY — My husband and I have been married for 30 years and will be visiting my mother-in-law again soon. Even though he is 50, she is obsessed with dressing him. As soon as we arrive, she searches through our luggage and announces that his clothes are not “good enough.” Then she wants to put her son in her dead husband’s clothes. She always threatens that she will have a fit if he won’t wear the clothes she chooses. What should I do? BAGGAGE CHECK dear abby

GRAMMATICALLY PERPLEXED DEAR PERPLEXED — You are not a robot, and your husband should not attempt to program your responses by “correcting” you.

CAMPUS CORNER PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE

Sumter native Sara Messier, a freshman at Presbyterian College, was recently honored with the MLK Drum Major for Service Presidential Volunteer Service Award. The award recognizes United States citizens who have achieved a certain number of hours of service over the past year. Over the past year, Messier has tutored middle school students in English, history and algebra. She also volunteers at Tuomey Regional Medical Center in the Women’s Center during the summer. While attending Thomas Sumter Academy, Messier worked with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of America. This project consists of campaigning extensively over a two-week period, both within the school and the outside community, to raise funds. Upon reaching their goal, the funds are used to honor a patient within the community. Messier says that this last project was the most meaningful to her. “I lost my own grandmother to lymphoma,” says Messier, “so I always felt a special connection with the campaign. There’s no way to replace a person you lost, and I really don’t think you ever ‘get over’ grieving someone. But through things like this — service projects and memorial events — you can make good on a loss.” THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA

Sumter native Kendall Deas, a PhD candidate in education law and policy at The University of Georgia’s College of Education, was recently selected from a competitive national pool to chair two sessions at the American Education Research Association’s Annual Meeting in San Francisco, Calif., April 27-May 1. Deas will chair sessions on “Policy Adoption and Implementation” and “Resource Allocation” for the nation’s leading research association in the field of education.

| Deas was also recently selected as one of four national finalists for the Ann Plato Diversity Postdoctoral Fellowship at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., through the national Consortium for Faculty Diversity at Liberal Arts Colleges. Deas is a 1983 graduate of Sumter High School and a 1991-92 Fulbright scholar to Finland. Deas has a bachelor of science in foreign service degree in international relations from Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service and master of arts degrees from Dartmouth College, Washington University in St. Louis and the Georgia Institute of Technology, respectively. Deas also has certificates in policy studies from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and the University of Texas at Austin’s LBJ School of Public Affairs and was a Visiting Student at Mansfield College of Oxford University. Deas is a son of Ms. Ellaree L. Deas of Sumter and the late Dr. Wilson C. Deas. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA-LINCOLN

Francis Marion University Assistant Professor of Nursing Rhonda M. Brogdon of Olanta is the fourth recipient of the FMU AfricanAmerican Faculty and Staff Coalition (AAFSC) Diversity Award. The award seeks to recognize a faculty or staff member for their significant contributions to enhance the university’s diversity and inclusiveness. “Rhonda is most deserving of this award. She was chosen because of her work across campus, her work with professional organizations and in the community,” said Teresa McDuffie, chairman of the selection committee. “Her interaction with faculty, staff and students exemplifies the values of diversity.” The award was presented to Brogdon at the 12th Annual Banquet of the AAFSC on Feb. 21. Brogdon has been a medical-surgical nurse for 16 years. She received a bachelor of science in nursing from Clemson University in 1994, a master of science in nursing in

2004, a master of business administration in 2001 and a doctor of nursing practice from Duquesne University in 2010. Brogdon has served as mentor and preceptor for 12 years in bedside nursing and was consistently evaluated as a “role model” nurse for 10 years while working in acute care by her nurse manager. Recipients of the FMU African-American Faculty and Staff Coalition Diversity Award are people who routinely and voluntarily make diversity and inclusion a priority in much of what they do or people whose major responsibilities are implementing gender diversity and inclusion initiatives, but consistently explore ways to go above and beyond expectations.

Daylight saving time a good reason to be more active BY LINDA PEKURI SCAL Executive Director Just about everybody looks forward to Daylight Saving Time (DST) near the start of spring, when clocks are set forward one hour so that evenings have more daylight. This year in the United States, DST begins on March 10 and ends on Nov. 3 — that’s 31 weeks of more evening daylight! I am sure you could think of lots of ways to enjoy all those weeks of extra daylight, and I hope some of them involve physical activity. I enjoy these weeks by doing active outdoor things: taking a brisk,

20- or 30-minute evening walk through my neighborhood (my favorite activity); mowing the grass or clipping the hedges (not so enjoyable but necessary!); shooting hoops (I mean, running after the basketball because I am a bad shooter!) with my son or husband; or sweeping the porch and driveway. If I had a swimming pool, I know I’d be swimming laps during the humid summer evenings! I top off my busy days by sitting in the backyard to watch the sun go down over the pond — a well-deserved ending to an active but

satisfying day. I am hoping that you will want to take advantage of the extra daylight during DST this year by doing something for your health. How about walking? Sumter County Active Lifestyles, in partnership with the University of South Carolina Prevention Research Center in Columbia, has a great program called Sumter County On The Move! (SCOTM!). It is a free, group-based walking program for adults who live, work, worship or spend time in Sumter County. Program participants are also part of a research study that is exploring if and how walking groups motivate and support adults to be more physically active. SCOTM! members are enjoying these great

benefits: • Support and encouragement from their walking group leader and members • Expertly written handbook full of great information about walking for exercise • Free mini-workshops to help members establish and maintain their walking and health goals • Daily motivational tips posted on the SCOTM! Facebook page • T-shirt, pedometer and a chance to win a $50 Wal-Mart gift card • Participation in a community-based, public health physical activity research project that is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention From what we are hearing, SCOTM! is help-

ing people become more physically active and achieve their personal health and exercise goals. We are encouraged by these testimonies; perhaps they will motivate you to join. Visit the SCOTM! website to read and hear these testimonies and learn how you can get involved: www. SumterCountyMoves.org. You can also call the SCAL office at (803) 7743860 or -3861. Hurry, though! Enrollment into the program will end on April 30. Congratulations to SCOTM! member Patricia Williams, who successfully completed her 12 months in the program and has made walking a regular lifestyle habit. These SCOTM! members recently finished their first

six months: Vickey Haynesworth, Mamie Smith, Emily Anne Nicholes, Sheril Maple, Dorothy Robertson, LaShawn Deas and Cheryl Weeks. Finally, Veronica Sharp is the winner of this month’s SCOTM! $50 Wal-Mart gift card.

Early blooming mystery plant’s a treat on field trips BY JOHN NELSON USC Herbarium Curator Here’s an easy one. It’s easy because it is very common, and very distinctive. This is a shrubby species, usually a multitrunked woody plant, with smooth gray bark, often getting to be a tall shrub, or even a small tree. It is found nearly throughout the eastern United States, from Maine to northern Florida, and generally westward to Texas and Oklahoma. It loves wet soil and is a common component of floodplain woods and swamps. This species is most often seen on “low” ground; so, although it is common, you won’t be seeing it in our higher eastern mountains. It’s a flatlander. How is it distinctive? It sports attractive, bright green leaves — bright green above and

Now, this is one of those plants that produces both male flowers and female flowers on the same plant, but separate from each other. Such a species is said to be “monoecious.” Regular old corn would be another good example. Note, however, that trees such as maples, which are either “male” or “female,” are termed “dioecious.” In our Mystery Plant, the flowers are very tiny and inconspicuous, held together in tight clusters called “catkins” or “aments.” The female flowers develop in small, scaly affairs that look like miniature pine cones.

thing like long, skinny caterpillars. The scales making up the male ament will each bear three tiny flowers, and these flowers consist only of a few stamens each. Very small flowers, but capable, in a mass, of producing quite a lot of pollen. After shedding pollen, these male aments fall away to the ground. Pollen from the male flowers is windborne, eventually reaching the female aments, where fertilization occurs. The flowers are easily visible right now, in the earliest part of the spring. After the female aments mature and ripen, their scales will slowly separate, and minuscule, winged fruits will be released. Each fruit contains a tiny little seed. The dried-out female aments remain on the twigs for a good while, but they eventually drop off.

The fact that this plant blooms so early makes it a real treat for botanists, and especially students on a field trip. We saw some of these plants this past week, and I told the students that spring had arrived. I went on and on and on, I suppose, and then one of the students, busily scribbling notes, said that I sounded like a preacher giving a sermon.

Iwo Jima through the lens of Heyward Crowson One of the most significant struggles of World War II was the Battle for Iwo Jima. This week marks 68 years since U.S. Marines engaged the forces of Japan in one of the most well known conflicts in our nation’s military history. Chronicling the events that took place on this once obscure speck in the Pacific Ocean was The Item’s Heyward Crowson. Crowson served as a combat photographer, capturing many of the poignant moments that helped to define the desperate nature of many Pacific engagements.

eprinted here is a portion of an article written in tribute to Crowson in 1984. The wording provides recognition of a man who served on Iwo Jima and on Okinawa and photographed the Japanese surrender in China. The photographs used were provided by his son Bruz Crowson, who has followed in his father’s footsteps by Sammy preserving our com- WAY munity’s history on film. “To a generation of Sumterites, the credit line, ‘photo by Crowson,’ was as predictable as the flag at The Item. If there was a photo in The Item — a good photo — the reader instinctively knew who took it; a quick look at the credit line merely reaffirmed that intuition. “Heyward Crowson, who died in 1981 at the age of 70, photographed everyone and everything during his 35 years at The Item. Starting in 1942 when he joined The Item before de-

parting for two years for World War II as a Marine combat photographer in the Pacific, Crowson became a familiar presence in Sumter at practically every important event. He won scores of awards for his work and was officially recognized in 1975 by the city of Sumter as its ‘City Photographer Emeritus.’” During his years at The Item, Crowson produced not only a body of work that helped readers gain a better grasp on the news, but also the raw materials that record a community’s history and shape the dreams and memories of its people.” The photographs reprinted here are an example of those taken by Heyward Crowson during his service on Iwo Jima, on Okinawa, and in China. These photos bear witness to the talent of this individual as he sought to capture images that not only revealed the subject, but also interpreted the moment.

University of South Carolina Sumter POPULAR NATURAL HISTORY SERIES RETURNS

Now in its second year, the USC Sumter Natural History Series led by Naturalist Austin Jenkins is an overwhelmingly popular community requested favorite. “The first year we announced registration spots for 30 people in the paper and filled up each week,” Dr. Jenkins said. Now the event has legs of its own. Jenkins leads the community members and USC Sumter students into various local state parks to view nature at its finest. He feels most visitors are on a quest to understand the natural world and especially their role in it. “Nature explains how you fit into the real world, and that understanding is something that is satisfying and comforting to people,” Jenkins says. Jenkins takes the group on tours through the park to see each of the different ecosystems in the area. The species and resources in one small area can be widely diverse and fun to learn about and spot. The crowd comes back month after month. The Natural History Series tours are scheduled once a month throughout the semester. The remaining tours for this semester will be March 6 and April 3. On March 6, Jenkins will explore Longleaf Pine Heritage Preserve which is home to several endangered species, including the Red-cockaded Woodpecker. For more information, visit https://www.dnr.sc.gov/mlands/ directions?p_id=44. On April 3, join the tour at Poinsett State Park. There is a surprising population of Mountain Laurel at the park which is draped in Spanish moss. The spring season is perfect for finding wildflowers, snakes and tadpoles. For more information, visit http://www.southcarolinaparks. com/poinsett/introduction.aspx. Tours begin at 8:30 a.m. and end around 10 a.m. — Misty Hatfield

EXTRAVAGANZA from Page C1 quilts for Sumter County’s foster children. Several of these will also be on display. “We made more than 100 quilts last year,” Stewart said. “We try to make one for every child who goes through the foster program at Sumter (County Department of Social Services).” Each extravaganza features a boutique with handmade items by guild members. Among these are embroidered items, quilted tote bags, throws, quilts and more. Vendors, including Sumter’s Treadle Pushers Quilt Shop and others from around the state,

will offer fabric, patterns and notions. Also available from various vendors and guild members will be fat quarters and scraps. Quilts made from scraps “are the truest kind of quilts,” Stewart said. “Quilts started that way. People used fabric from clothing, old decorative cotton flour sacks to make quilts for warmth. They have recognizable patterns,” as opposed to crazy quilts. There will be scheduled talks about historic quilts and a “bed turning” during the extravaganza, as well.

Mr. Sumter, who was present, stated that, as the owner of the General Sumter home place, and the last surviving descendant of General Sumter bearing the Sumter name, he was desirous of making provision for the future maintenance and care of the family burying ground by a responsible and permanent organization, such as Sumter County and for this reason the tender of the deed was made. He further stated that the land surrounding the burying ground was naturally adapted for the development of a small picturesque park, shaded by many large oaks and other native trees, of the original hillside forest, which has never been disturbed. He said he would be pleased to have the commissioners visit the site and determine how much land could appropriately be there used as a public park — and that he was prepared to execute a deed to the tract so selected.

During warm weather months the course is often crowded, forcing would-be links men to wait around before they can get on the course. This situation will be improved, and tourna-

Radha Mitchell Mitchell lands Heads dream role New Drama on ABC’s ‘Red Widow’ Sunday, March 3 - 9, 2013

www.theitem.com Radha Mitchell Radha Mitchell plays aplays womana woman trying to keep trying to keep her family safe on "Red Widow," premiering her family safe on Sunday “Red at 9 p.m. on ABC. Widow,” premiering at 9 p.m. Sunday on ABC.

By Candace Havens © 2013 FYI Television, Inc. Stay-at-home moms have one of the toughest jobs. They're responsible for raising small humans, keeping the house clean, doing the laundry, cooking and managing the budget. Marta Walraven (Radha Mitchell) does all of that and more. But her life changes drastically when her husband is murdered on "Red Widow," premiering Sunday at 9 p.m. on ABC. Marta's father, Andrei Petrov (Rade Serbedzija), has always been involved in organized crime. It's a life she had desperately tried to get away from, but then her family pulled her husband (Anson Mount) into the fold. What she didn't know was her spouse had been keeping a very big secret. Adding to her troubles is the fact her brother, Irwin (Will Traval), and his friend Mike Tomlin (Lee Tergesen) stole cocaine from the vicious drug lord Nicolae Schiller (Goran Visnjic). Her husband may be dead, but there are still debts to be paid. "Marta Walraven is pretty much my dream character to play," says Mitchell. "I think Melissa (Rosenberg, executive producer) wrote a woman who has a duality, which is very complex. And, well, basically she's a woman who is a housewife, who has been sort of avoiding her criminal upbringing by living the life of a soccer mom and is suddenly dragged into a world that she's been trying to avoid pretty much her whole life, when her husband is assassinated in relation to a drug incident. And in the process she discovers things about herself and talents that she didn't know she

had and becomes more and more compelled by the likes of Nicholae Schiller, who is this evil - or maybe not so evil - drug lord in San Francisco. So, that kind of sums up the plot. "But why I was attracted to the role was because, I guess, Melissa has written somebody who's very human and at the same time discovers aspects of herself that are, I guess, more than she would expect, primarily because she finds the strength in herself as a mother." The series was adapted from the Dutch show "Penoza." Its main character was one that appealed to Rosenberg. "This is a flawed female character, as all human beings are," she says. "It's a very human character. And I think that's something that has been really exciting to bring to network television. We've had on cable and then on network these male characters that are very flawed and complex, like Tony Soprano and Dexter and Vic Mackey. And then we've just begun to have that on cable for women in the form of Edie Falco on 'Nurse Jackie,' and 'Weeds.' And now, I think, this show is bringing that kind of a character to network. It's a very tricky character to sell to an audience, because women are held to a higher standard. But as played by Radha, you have compassion for her. You are with her. Her experience is universal. So, that's one of the things that's very exciting." To keep her family safe, Marta must make some rather interesting decisions. This is a story device that Rosenberg was familiar with after working on "Dexter." "It's the same kind of an issue you're dealing with in the character of Dexter, who's a

serial killer," the executive producer says. "How do you get an audience rooting for someone like that? And how do you get someone rooting for a mother who's making some really questionable moral decisions? So, having gone through the four years I was on 'Dexter' has really helped me to find in those dark places what it is that's universal, what it is we can all relate to. And again, as played by Radha, you really feel the humanity of this character." Someone else who must make questionable decisions is Nicolae. While he may seem like a bad guy (and he is), there will be times when his actions fall into a gray area. "The character is completely unusual," Visnjic says, "something I've never done before. And it's like I was thinking it's going to be a very interesting thing to do. I love the suits," he laughs. "We have a costume designer whom I love." While Marta is on her own, her sister Kat (Jaime Ray Newman) tries to help when she can. But Marta must deal with one crisis after another. The constant changes keep the story moving, and even the actors aren't sure what happens next. "I know that, as a cast, when we would get our scripts every week," Newman relates," it was like, 'Did you read it? Can you believe what happened? Could you believe it?' So, we became such huge fans just as the people kind of stepping back, we as actors became huge fans of the show. And every week, it was like amazing drama piled on top of amazing drama, and we were so surprised at what happened. Even at the end, we were all shocked. We all had our theories. That was what the hair and makeup trailer was like."
