Economists: Local conditions will improve Continental Tire plant credited with helping employment numbers rise

BY JAMIE H. WILSON Special to The Item State and local economists are predicting an upswing in the local economy due, in large part, to the impact of incoming tire manufacturing juggernaut Continental Tire.

At a recent presentation of an economic forecast by the

Santee-Lynches Regional Council of Governments, federal, state and local analysts offered evidence of an improving economy.

It’s a story of hope told in statistics. Employment numbers are rising, along with gross retail sales and new construction. All signs should point to a positive but cau-

tious outlook in the years to come, said COG research analyst Bruce Mills.

In 2012, employment numbers for Clarendon, Kershaw, Lee and Sumter all rose at an average of .5 percent, with only Clarendon having any decrease.

“Last year was our best year since the recession, and

that could be a good sign,” said Mills. “This indicator is the most important to look at when it comes to the economy.”

The unemployment rate is beginning to drop, said Dr. Rob Salvino, research economist at Coastal Carolina University.

“Is it that more people are

getting jobs, or is it unemployed people leaving the work force?” Salvino said.

Unemployment rates decreased in all four counties.

Together the four counties gained 447 jobs in 2012 while the total number of unemployed residents dropped SEE ECONOMY, PAGE A6

Manning resident raising money for Camp Happy Days

Part of road will be 1 lane for 16 months

SUMMERTON — For Manning resident Bill Ellis, the months of May and June are all about fundraising.

It’s been that way for the past 20 or so years. That’s how long Ellis and former coworkers have been requesting money and gathering materials for the nearly 200 kids who come out annually to Camp Happy Days, which will be held for the 31st year in a row from June 30 through July 6 at Camp Bob Cooper near Summerton.

“The great thing about Camp Happy Days is that it is free for these kids,” Ellis said. “No child at all has to pay. We want to help with that as much as we can. Some of these kids don’t get the normal camp experience, and the people at Camp Happy Days go out of their way to give them an extraordinary one.”

Founded by a Charleston-based charity operating under the same name, Camp Happy Days has for more than three decades provided children ages 4 to 16 diagnosed with cancer, their siblings and the siblings of children who have lost their battles with the disease a chance for one week each year to get away from hospitals and parents. Those kids who are undergoing medical treatment have a full staff at their disposal.

“Our goal is to give these children (a) life-changing experience that (offers) hope, courage and the will to fight one more round,” according to Programs Director Teresa Bishop.

“While camp is about fun, friends and incredible opportunities, it is

As one long-running road project in Sumter nears its end, another is about to begin, potentially disrupting traffic until well into next year.

Starting Monday, workers will begin the process of expanding Alice Drive, reducing the two-lane street to a single lane during work hours.

This week, workers with contractor Palmetto Corp of Conway will begin clearing brush and cutting down trees to open space for a new right of way.

Work will begin near Gingko Drive on the west side of Alice, which will necessitate closing the southbound lane for “a couple hundred feet” around the area the men are working, according to John Blanding, project manager for the Alice Drive expansion.

From the hours of 7 a.m. until 6 p.m., road workers will direct traffic around the closed lane, with one

Sumter School District board meets Monday

A local group is using the catwalk to raise money for a local Christian organization.

The Ladies Who Lunch are hosting the second annual fundraiser fashion show Thursday.

“We meet the second Friday of each month at different local restaurants,” said Courtney Freeman, owner of Southeastern Laser Med Spa and chairwoman of the group. “It’s a lot of fun networking with women in the community. We wanted to give back, so we came up with some fundraising ideas.

We need more cool events for young and old to come together. Some of these are local competitors, but I don’t want that. I want everybody to work together. There is enough room for everybody.”

Last year, the show featured 25 models and one local business, Jessica’s Boutique in Manning. It raised $3,500 for Hope Street Ministries.

“I hope we raise a lot more than that this year,” Freeman said. “We’ve doubled with 50 models from local businesses.

We have four boutiques and salons, (and) we’ll have a silent auction beforehand.”

This year, proceeds from the silent auction and admission will benefit United Ministries of Sumter County.

“We are obviously thankful,” said Mark Champagne, United Ministries executive director.

“It’s a huge help for our crisis relief, Samaritan House and home repair ministry. We rely on the community to help us, (and) we’re very grateful. It’s just neat to see the community come together like this.”

They have 30 pieces valued at about $3,000 for the silent auction.

“I’ve been amazed at all the items donated,” Freeman said.

“We have massages, Zumba lessons, handbags, gift certificates to boutiques that are not even participating, stuff from BooksA-Million, art work from local artists, golf passes for Beech Creek, summer lessons at Miss Libby’s and some nice jewelry from Grainger McKoy.” She still welcomes items.

For more information, to donate items or to purchase tickets, contact Courtney Freeman at (803) 469-7546.

Reach Jade Anderson at (803) 774-1250.

S.C. mothers hold rally for gun violence victims COLUMBIA — A group of South Carolina mothers is holding a rally at the Statehouse to honor people killed by gun violence.

Organizers said they’ll meet at the Statehouse today to release a Mother’s Bill of Rights, which lays out rights that the moms want to protect their kids from guns, part of a Mother’s Day campaign focused on honoring gun violence victims and families.

Mothers in uniform get room on base to nurse children SHAW AIR FORCE BASE (AP) — Army civilian personnel specialist Tracey Leven recalls the time she tried to use a breast pump to express milk in a military office years ago. Instead of “breast pump in use,” she was required to put a sign on the door reading, “occupied.” That didn’t stop two male soldiers from using their keys to open the locked office.

“They were surprised. I was covered up, so there wasn’t any kind of issue,” said Leven, a 29-year-old who works at the 3rd Army headquarters here in South Carolina. Now the Luling, Texas, native said she is expecting her second child and looks forward to the privacy the new room will provide.

With Mother’s Day today, she and other women civilian

employees, women in uniform and mothers visiting the command headquarters said they’re pleased they won’t have to hide in an office or rest room if they want to nurse or express breast milk to give to an infant later.

The high-tech 3rd Army headquarters at Shaw Air Force Base is one of the rare U.S. military installations where a decidedly low-tech lactation room has been exclusively set aside for mothers.

“I am excited and happy about the idea of this room, because I didn’t have the bestcase scenario” last time, said Leven, who also is an Army spouse.

The women are celebrating the room as a small victory in an overwhelmingly male-

THE ITEM

U.S. Debt Payments: Members voted, 221-207, to give priority to bondholders and Social Security if the U.S. ever were to default on its debt. GOP sponsors said the bill is needed to instill confidence in investors, while Democrats called it a needlessly alarmist ideological statement. A yes vote was to pass HR 807.

Democrats’ Payment Plan: Members rejected, 200207, a Democratic bid to put veterans’ benefits, deposit insurance, Social Security, Medicare and disaster aid ahead of foreign creditors such as China if the U.S. ever were to go into default. A yes vote backed the motion to HR 807 (above). ‘Comp Time’ for Overtime: Members voted, 223204, to allow private-sector employers to offer “compensatory time off� in place of “time and a half� wages for working over 40 hours per week. A yes vote was to pass a bill adding flexibility to overtime-wage rules in the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act. (HR 1406) ‘Comp Time’ Control: Members defeated, 200-207, a bid by Democrats to give employees control over scheduling “comp time� for purposes such as doctor visits, family care or, if they are veterans, making appointments related to combat injuries. A yes vote backed the motion to HR 1406 (above).

Online Sales Taxes: Senators voted, 69-27, to require online retailers to collect state and local sales taxes and send the revenue to the taxing jurisdiction where the customer lives. A yes vote was to send the House a bill to facilitate collection of some $23 billion yearly in sales taxes that now goes unpaid. (S 743) Guns at Water Projects: Senators failed, 56-43, to reach 60 votes for advancing a plan to allow visitors to carry concealed handguns at Army Corps of Engineers projects, just as they can legally do in federal parks and forests but not in most other federal properties. A yes vote was to add the gun right to a water-resources bill still in debate. (S 608)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Here’s how area members of Congress voted on major issues in the week ending May 10.

HOUSE U.S. DEBT PRIORITIES: Voting 221 for and 207 against, the House on May 9 sent the Senate a Republican bill (HR 807) giving payment priority to bondholders, such as domestic pension funds and foreign governments, if the Treasury were unable to meet all of its debt obligations. Social Security trust funds would be next in line, followed in no special order by the thousands of fiscal obligations — everything from military salaries to education grants to veterans’ benefits — routinely funded by the Treasury. Republicans said this advance statement of debt-payment priorities would instill confidence in investors essential to the health of the U.S. economy.

Democrats called the bill an alarmist measure that wrongly suggests Congress and the administration would ever allow a government default.

The national debt of about $16.8 trillion consists of about $4.9 trillion that the government owes itself (primarily to Social Security trust funds) and nearly $12 trillion owed to bondholders outside of the government. Foreign entities hold more than one-third of the $12 trillion, with the People’s Republic of China ($1.2 trillion) and Japan ($900 billion) the leading foreign creditors.

Tom McClintock, R-Calif., said the bill “simply guarantees the debt of the United States. No matter what political storms are raging in Washington, the public credit must be maintained.�

A yes vote was backed the Republican bill.

VOTE H-1 slugged DEBT SOUTH CAROLINA Voting yes: Joe Wilson, R-2, Jeff Duncan, R-3, Trey Gowdy, R-4, Mick Mulvaney, R-5, Tom Rice, R-7 Voting no: James Clyburn, D-6 Not voting: None

DEMOCRATS’ DEBT PRIORITIES: Voting 200 for and 207 against, the House on May 9 defeated a bid by Democrats to ensure that obligations to federal deposit insurance, Social Security and Medicare trust funds, veterans’ benefits and recovery from natural disasters be paid ahead of debt service to foreign bondholders such as China and Iran under the terms of HR 807 (above).

Dan Maffei, D-N.Y., said the GOP bill “prioritizes Chinese lenders ahead of American seniors and veterans and college students. That’s why it’s called the ‘Pay China First Act.’�

A vote backed the Democratic plan.

VOTE H-2 slugged DEMOCRATS’ SOUTH CAROLINA Voting yes: Clyburn Voting no: Wilson (SC), Duncan (SC), Gowdy, Mulvaney, Rice (SC) Not voting: None ‘COMP TIME’ FOR OVERTIME: Voting 223 for and 204 against, the House on May 8 sent the Senate a bill (HR 1406) authorizing employers in the private sector to offer “compensatory time off� in place of extra cash for working overtime. Under the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act, employers are required to pay “time and a half� for each hour worked over 40 hours per week. Under this bill, they could instead provide oneand-one-half hours off for each hour over 40 if that is agreeable to the employee.

Employers have discretion to schedule the time off under the bill and state agencies, not the U.S. Department of Labor, would enforce comptime agreements.

Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said the bill would cause “longer hours for workers with no overtime pay and only the hope that their bosses will let them take their earned time off when asked. How we have skewed the rules against the middle working-class of America.�

A yes vote was to pass the bill.

SUNDAY, MAY 12, 2013

VOTE H-3 slugged OVERTIME SOUTH CAROLINA Voting yes: Wilson (SC), Duncan (SC), Gowdy, Mulvaney, Rice (SC) Voting no: Clyburn Not voting: None EMPLOYEE CONTROL OF ‘COMP TIME’: Voting 200 for and 207 against, the House on May 8 defeated a Democratic bid to give employees the right to schedule their time off under certain circumstances. The underlying bill (HR 1406, above) empowers employers to choose when “comp time� can be taken. This motion shifted control to workers if they need to schedule medical appointments, care for a family member or, if they are veterans, schedule appointments related to combat injuries.

Martha Roby, R-Ala., said Democrats are “refusing to work with (the GOP) to help American families. Instead, they are spending their time taking political shots and, in fact, politicizing Mother’s Day in order to do it.�

A yes vote backed the Democratic motion.

VOTE H-4 slugged CONTROL SOUTH CAROLINA Voting yes: Clyburn Voting no: Wilson (SC), Duncan (SC), Gowdy, Mulvaney, Rice (SC) Not voting: None SENATE ONLINE SALES TAXES: Voting 69 for and 27 against, the Senate on April 25 sent the House a bill (S 743) requiring online retailers to collect state and local sales taxes and send the revenue to the taxing jurisdiction where the customer lives. At present, firms selling over the Internet are obligated to collect sales taxes only if they have a physical presence in the particular state or locality, giving them a cost advantage over brick-and-mortar stores, which by law must add sales taxes to purchases. The bill exempts Internet retailers with less than $1 million annually in out-of-state sales. It does not raise taxes, but facil-

itates the collection of an estimated $23 billion in sales taxes that now goes unpaid.

Richard Durbin, D-Ill., said the bill asks “that those selling on the Internet be treated the same as those selling on the corners of our streets� and “contains no new federal tax, no new state and local tax.�

Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the bill would lead to “discriminatory treatment of electronic commerce because online retailers are going to be subjected to burdens that brickand-mortar retailers would not be subject to.�

A yes vote was to pass the bill.

VOTE S-1 slugged ONLINE SOUTH CAROLINA Voting yes: Lindsey Graham, R Voting no: Tim Scott, R Not voting: None GUNS AT WATER PROJECTS: Voting 56 for and 43 against, the Senate on May 8 failed to advance a gun-rights amendment offered to a water-resources bill (S 608) still in debate. The measure sought to make it legal for visitors to Army Corps of Engineers projects to carry concealed handguns. Concealedcarry is legal on National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service lands but outlawed on many other federal properties.

Sponsor Tom Coburn, ROkla., said his amendment ensures that law-abiding citizens “will not be vulnerable to criminals or dangerous wildlife while on Army Corps of Engineers land.�

Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said, “According to the Bush administration, this critical water infrastructure is a target for terrorists� and “we do not have to look too much further than Boston to understand this is a problem.�

A yes vote backed the amendment.

Virginia woman has no regrets about role in bomberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burial DOSWELL, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Virginia woman whose actions led to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev being buried about 30 miles north of her Richmond home said the angry backlash from local officials, some cemetery neighbors and online critics has been unpleasant, but she has no regrets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretend itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not difficult to be reviled and maligned,â&#x20AC;? Martha Mullen told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But any time you can reach across the divide and work with people that are not like you, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what God calls us to do.â&#x20AC;?

Tsarnaev, 26, was quietly buried Thursday at a small Islamic cemetery in rural Caroline County. His body had remained at a Worcester, Mass., funeral parlor since he was killed April 19 in a gunfight with police, days after the bombings that killed three and injured more than 260 in downtown Boston. Cemeteries in Massachusetts and several other states refused to accept the remains.

With costs to protect the funeral home mounting, Worcester police appealed for help finding a place to bury Tsarnaev.

Mullen said she was at a Starbucks when she heard a radio news report about the difficulty

finding a burial spot for Tsarnaev. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first thought was Jesus said love your enemies,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Then she had an epiphany. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought someone ought to do something about this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and I am someone,â&#x20AC;? Mullen said.

So Mullen, a mental health counselor in private practice and a graduate of United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio, sent emails to various faith organizations to see what could be done.

She heard back from Islamic Funeral Services of Virginia, which arranged for a funeral plot at the Al-Barzakh cemetery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an interfaith effort,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Mullen, a member of the United Methodist Church, said she was motivated by her own faith and that she had the full support of her pastor.

ECONOMY from Page A1 1,328, but two-thirds of that reduction was people leaving the labor force. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are discouraged, and then they drop out of the labor force, at least temporarily,â&#x20AC;? Mills said.

The region as a whole still trails the state and nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment average.

Sumterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labor force population dropped a percentage point last year, meaning there could be fewer people in or seeking employment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Continental (Tire) coming on, we are hoping it will arrest this trend,â&#x20AC;? Salvino said.

Last year, gross retail sales dipped to $3.529 million after briefly climbing to $3.629 million in 2011, which local economists attribute to â&#x20AC;&#x153;less discretionary spending on the part of consumers.â&#x20AC;? In the next two years, economists predict that number will climb to $3.7 million. Discretionary spending is also expected to rise only slightly in the next two years to roughly $1.205 billion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is discouraging since we know the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers are going up,â&#x20AC;? said Mills.

Another important indicator is single-family home permits,

which represent new residential construction in the four-county area.

Those numbers hit a low point in recent history from in 2009-11 but are expected to increase, said Salvino.

The regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers shrank to 479 permits in 2012. Compared with the housing boom numbers in 2005 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 1,528 permits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; any increase is a good sign, said economists. The value of these permits is projected to be $71.5 million in 2014.

While the local economy shows improvement, Mills said the community needs to be firmly committed to educational efforts, especially when it comes to manufacturing companies that seek out educated workers for their production lines. Many companies today, he said, are actively seeking workers with technical school degrees with higher skills as opposed to the low-skilled workers of the 20th century. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see a continually widening gap between these groups,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Continental Tire alone is expected to add hundreds of jobs in the next five years. Seventyfive percent of that number is slated to be in mainline production jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is very big for our region,â&#x20AC;? Mills said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are doing much better with kids enrolling in college or technical college after high school.â&#x20AC;?

BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON — Talk about high expectations for a newborn: King and Messiah are among the fastest-rising baby names for American boys.

They’re just a little behind Major, the boy’s name that jumped the most spots on the Social Security Administration’s annual list of popular baby names.

Jacob is the most popular for boys — again — and Sophia is the top name for girls, according to the list released Thursday.

It was Jacob’s 14th straight year at the top.

Next were Mason, Ethan, Noah and William. Liam cracked the top 10 for the first time, coming in at No. 6. Daniel slipped out of the top 10 for the first time since 1998, to No. 11.

It was Sophia’s second year in a row at the top for girls. Next were Emma, Isabella, Olivia and Ava. But what about those rising boys’ names?

Typically, said Laura Wattenberg, author of “The Baby Name Wizard” and founder of Babynamewizard.com, “You don’t get a lot of Messiahs. You can have a lot more Majors.”

“I have no doubt Major’s rising popularity as a boy’s name is in tribute to the brave members of the U.S. military, and maybe we’ll see more boys named General in the future,” said acting

Luggage tags with children’s names are displayed in East Montpelier, Vt., in 2008. Jacob and Sophia top the list of most popular baby names again. It’s Jacob’s 14th straight year at the top and the second year in a row for Sophia.

Social Security Commissioner Carolyn W. Colvin.

Wattenberg said Americans have long given their children “aggrandizing names.” She noted that Noble and General were on the list of popular boys’ names for much of the 20th century, though neither ever cracked the top 100.

“We’ve pretty much run out of presidential names, all the Jeffersons and Jacksons and Madisons, so we’re moving on to the aristocracy, I guess, or to the military.”

Jennifer Moss, author of “The One-in-a-Million Baby Name Book” and founder of Babynames. com, said she discourages parents from giving children “expectation

names, like Justice and Chastity.”

“We feel that it kind of puts an undue pressure on the child when you use those kinds of grandiose or purity names,” Moss said.

Chastity was in the top 1,000 for more than two decades before dropping off the list in 1994. Justice was on the list in 1880 but then fell off for more than 100 years. The name reappeared in 1992 and was No. 518 last year.

Jacob’s popularity endures because the name has much of what parents look for in a boy’s name, said Moss.

“It’s easy to pronounce, and it’s easy to spell. It’s a solid manly name,” she said. “It’s a

biblical name, and biblical names are always in style.”

On the girls’ side, Sophia first cracked the top 100 in 1997. Isabella dropped off the list from 1949 to 1990.

The Social Security Administration’s website provides lists of the top 1,000 baby names for each year, dating to 1880.

The top baby names that year were John and Mary. John is now No. 28, and Mary has fallen to No. 123 — the lowest for both names.

The list, which also includes top baby names by state, draws millions of viewers. The agency hopes that people go to the website to see the baby names and stay to learn about other services.

The website also shows which names are gaining — and losing — popularity. Among the boys’ names that are spiking, Major jumped 505 spots, to No. 483, followed by Gael, Jase, Messiah and Brantley. Messiah gained 246 spots, to No. 387.

Jase Robertson is a character on the reality TV show “Duck Dynasty,” about a family that runs a business making duck calls and other duck hunting gear. Gael García Bernal is a Mexican film actor and director.

Among the other boys’ names gaining in popularity: Maverick, Armani and King, which jumped 133 spots, to No. 256.

Among the rising girls’ names, Arya jumped 298 spots, to No. 413, followed by Perla, Catalina, Elisa and Raelynn. And Raelyn with one ‘n’ was eighth.

Arya Stark is a character in the TV show “Game of Thrones.”

Among the girls’ names that are losing popularity, Dulce dropped the most, 159 spots, to No. 574. Next were Mikaela, Estrella, Danna and Audrina.

Among the boys’ names that dropped, Braeden fell 105 spots, to No. 581. Next were Yahir, Kieran, Cullen and Brayan.

The popularity of Cullen was fleeting. In 2010, it was the fastest rising name for boys. Edward Cullen is a vampire in the “Twilight” books and movies.

The list shows that top names for boys have been more stable over the years than names for girls. William, for example, has been a popular boy’s name for more than 100 years, never falling out of the top 20.

Mason is an exception, entering the top 100 for the first time in 1997.

BOY SCOUTS BUILD PARK BENCHES Cub Scout Pack 339 completed a Service Project at Poinsett State Park last month. The name of the program is 600 Tables in 60 Days, and 30 Scouts teamed up with leaders and parents to complete construction of the tables. Pack 339 completed six of the 20 tables that Poinsett revised for this special program. The boys used team work, commutation skills and thinking skills to accomplish their goal.

Cubmaster Teresa Scurry said she is “so very proud of each and every one of you guys for all of your hard work and dedication.”

“We’re going to start at Gingko Drive down to South Wise Drive, then go back up the other (eastern) side,” Blanding said.

Monday’s clearing work follows a fivemonth period where Sumter utility workers removed utility lines running on either side of the nearly mile-long stretch of road, which includes two churches and several housing developments, and move them further back from the street into what will be the new public right of way.

After space is cleared for the right of way, workers will begin paving to expand Alice to a five-lane road, including a turning lane. That expansion will require workers to open up 45 feet of space on either side of the center line.

Work will be completed in August of next year.

“Once we start clearing the right of way, we’ll have at least a portion of one lane

shut down from here until the summer of 2014,” Blanding said.

If there’s good news for local drivers, it’s that work should soon be complete on another long-running construction project. The flyover bridge on U.S. 378 connecting the highway to Broad Street Extension over U.S. 521/Camden Highway is expected to be complete within a month.

“We had some delays because of underground drainage we had to go around,” said DOT District One Construction Engineer Bryan Jones. But the delay should only push back completion of the project by a few days.

“The current completion date is June 11,” Jones said. “I think the original date was the week before Memorial Day.” The bridge had been closed since the day after New Year’s, when the old overpass was removed and a new bridge built in its place.

Traffic coming both ways was redirected onto Camden Highway.

Workers with United Contracting of Great Falls still have some work to do on the bridge. Beams have to be set and a barrier rail added to the bridge

Work on the overpass bridge of U.S. 378, which crosses over Camden Highway heading onto Broad Street Extension, is expected to be complete by mid-June. But before it reopens to the public, one lane of Alice Drive between Wesmark and Wise will be closed to traffic starting Monday.

“Earthquake drains,” which stabilize ground layers in case of seismic activity, are also being added on the west side of the bridge.

In addition, the road surface around the bridge will have to change before it can reopen. Because the new overpass is slightly higher than the old one, workers will also lay down asphalt to raise the roadway on either side to meet it.

Maybe Americans agree about more than they know

BY CONNIE CASS Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Can we agree on this?

Americans still think alike much of the time, even if our politicians donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

To get heads nodding, just say something worrisome about the economy or dismissive of Washington. Almost all Americans consider themselves very patriotic, believe in God, value higher education and admire those who get rich through hard work.

Not much argument there.

But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the oftoverlooked truth: Even some issues that are highly contentious in the partisan capital have solid public support across the country.

National polls show that 7 of 10 people want to raise the minimum wage. Similar numbers want term limits for Congress, support building the Keystone XL pipeline to bring oil from Canada and back using government money to make preschool available to every child.

There are toeholds of agreement on big, divisive issues such as immigration, abortion and guns. If those slivers of consensus were the starting point in debates, political compromise might just be possible.

Instead, drama and

conflict are what feed this countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s party-driven politics, the news media, the bloggers and tweeters, even the pollsters who measure opinion. The 24-hour, left vs. right cacophony coming out of Washington tends to drown out any notes of national harmony.

Maybe the great division in politics these days lies between Washington and the rest of the nation.

Bonny Paulson thinks so.

A retired flight attendant in Huntly, Va., she rents a Shenandoah Valley log cabin to travelers.

Paulson gets an earful of people grumbling about politicians, but she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear much disagreement about the issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Washington is more polarized than the rest of the nation,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Judy Hokse, visiting Washington with a group of volunteers serving meals to the homeless, said ordinary people are more entrenched in their political views than they were when she was a teenager in the 1970s. But the political standoff in Washington, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is just way out there.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our neck of the woods there are different opinions,â&#x20AC;? said Hokse, of Saugatuck, Mich., â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we can talk about them.â&#x20AC;?

The notion of a divided country even divides

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Lyle CafĂŠ owner Barbara Johnson of Winthrop, Minn., speaks in support of a bill to raise Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minimum wage during a news conference at the State Capitol in St. Paul recently. Within the last year, national polls in the United States indicate Americans still think a lot alike and share core values: Nine out of 10 call themselves very patriotic, believe in God, value higher education and admire those who get rich through hard work. Seven out of 10 Americans want to raise the minimum wage.

the academics.

Some political scientists bemoan a disappearing ideological center, reflected in the polarization consuming politics. Others dismiss the idea of a balkanized nation of Republican- or Democratic-leaning states. They see instead a laid-back land of mostly moderate, pragmatic voters remote from their highly partisan leaders.

Certainly thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty for people to argue about.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential race fanned longstanding debates over the size of government, the social safety net and taxes. Some states have begun recognizing gay

marriage; many have imposed constitutional bans. Some are tightening gun laws, while others are looking to loosen them.

Democrat Barack Obama is on track to become the most polarizing president in nearly seven decades of Gallup records. His predecessor, Republican George W. Bush, held the distinction previously, signaling a trend.

Gallup says that 7 out of 10 people say Americans are greatly divided when it comes to the most important values.

Yet with a few exceptions such as issues of race and gender and views of government,

opinions havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed much in a quarter-century of Pew polls tracking political values. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really critical point that often gets overlooked,â&#x20AC;? said Michael Dimock, director of the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to assume when we see more partisan polarization that somehow American values are shifting. In most dimensions, the way Americans overall look at things is very consistent over time.â&#x20AC;?

While U.S. opinion overall stuck to the middle of the road, the politically engaged became better at sorting

themselves into likeminded camps. Voters changed views or changed parties, and increasing numbers left the parties to become independents. Rockefeller Republicans and Reagan Democrats disappeared.

The remaining party faithful are more ideologically distilled.

Two decades ago, Republican support for stricter environmental rules was at 86 percent, almost as high as for Democrats. Last year only 47 percent of Republicans wanted tougher environmental rules, Pew found. Democratic support remained high.

COMMENTARY

|

A former reporter reflects on the Tuomey case Editor’s note: Former Item reporter Joe Perry is an award-winning journalist who covered the first Tuomey trial. He can be reached at surferjoesc@live.com.

I

was driving back from North Carolina Wednesday evening when I received two text messages that said the same thing: Tuomey found guilty.

I can’t say I was surprised because I read the entire deposition of Kevin McAnaney. I actually read just about every filing offered by either side, Joe which totaled thouPERRY sands of pages. (You can find all the filings here: https://ecf. scd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/ShowIndex. pl) McAnaney talked about how the part-time contract raised red flags.

How the contracts invited a government investigation and on and on.

Apparently during the second trial Tuomey’s lawyers did their level best to claim McAnaney’s opinion was “tainted” by Dr. Drakeford. I found that very interesting because I clearly recall Tuomey’s former counsel Cam Lewis telling the late Judge Perry during the first trial that McAnaney was “a neutral” and was not supposed to take anyone’s side.

But that’s not the real story because it was clear Tuomey’s lawyers greatly changed their tactics and approach this time around and tried to change the facts to line up with whatever they were arguing.

Anyway, when I got back to town Wednesday night, I saw a link to The Item’s story on Facebook. Several people’s comments were casting blame toward the government.

I wonder if these folks have ever gotten a speeding ticket? Did they blame the deputy for upholding the law? Did they go to court and tell the judge that the speed limit changes from one area to the next and is confusing and therefore shouldn’t be properly enforced?

If so, I’d be curious to know how that worked out.

A hospital is not allowed to pay for referrals. It’s that simple, and that’s exactly what Tuomey was knowingly doing.

So the citizenry is going to get mad at the Department of Justice for prosecuting the case? How about that.

Folks, the real story is this: Why did the Board of Trustees continue to A) employ CEO Jay Cox and COO Greg Martin after getting the hospital in such a mess and B) Why did the Board of Trustees not ask questions about the contracts or perhaps hire their own consultant? And C) why did the Board continue to fight this battle that could’ve been settled early on?

This was a colossal failure on behalf of the administration and the board.

You may ask yourself: Why did board members go along with Cox and Martin? You can find the answer here: www.guidestar.org.

Signing up to read court documents via the PACER system costs money, but Guide Star is free and you can quickly have access to Tuomey’s tax returns as well a recent financial audit.

You will see that four board members — including past chairman Bobby Boykin — have relatives that work for Tuomey. Gregg Martin’s wife works for Tuomey. You will see vast amounts of money spent on legal fees, travel and conferences and physician recruitment. And doctors employed by the hospital that serve on the board — to whom do they answer?

Hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of many years that add up to millions. Incidentally, Cox’s salary kept increasing even as the government’s prosecution was heating up. His salary comes close to a cool $1 million a year.

How about that.

And if you’ve ever driven down Main Street, you’ll notice The Tuomey Foundation rents or leases office space in a building owned by ... wait for it ... former board member Greg Thompson.

The audit shows Tuomey “has a banking relationship with a financial institution” that employs Boykin, the former chairman.

These are all conflicts of interest (or the appearance of conflicts of interest). It’s not complicated.

I wonder how many folks on the Tuomey board have business relationships with one another? With the hospital? With new doctors that come into town?

Why have very few people in this town raised these questions?

I raised some of these issues and was labeled as being a biased reporter.

In December of 2008 I had my gall bladder removed at Tuomey.

And on Aug. 25, 2011, my wife gave birth to our son at Tuomey. It was a wonderful experience, and we had no complaints, as I told many people at the time. Would I have an organ removed there if I was biased? Would my wife and I go to Tuomey for her to give birth if I had some kind of grudge?

Note: I resigned from The Item in November 2011 to be a stay-at-home dad and write freelance.

I haven’t done any reporting on the second trial or any other Tuomey lawsuit-related matters for any media outlet.

The fact is, even as Tuomey was inexorably heading toward round two of a losing battle, very few people in this town spoke up. I know Ken Young spoke up, and Phil Leventis raised questions, as did former board members Gary Blakeman, Leon McDonald and Wilson MacEwen.

And also Hubert and Graham Osteen.

And that’s about it. Pretty much everyone else was afraid or unwilling to speak up, I guess.

Your silence was your assent and you owe an apology to Mike Drakeford.

Unfortunately, things have reached a time of reckoning. I, like many people in Sumter, have followed Tuomey’s dispute with the federal government regarding the Stark Law and False Claims Act. Like many, I was concerned to read that as a result of a recent court verdict, the hospital is now tasked with repaying almost $40 million in damages and is potentially liable for hundreds of millions more in fines and penalties.

As disturbing as this is, however, in Friday’s Item came an even more concerning statement: “Tuomey officials consider next step.” While I realize the board has direct responsibility, there is much more to this case than the board and the staff.

The hospital is truly a public asset for our community. The tens and tens of millions of dollars in revenue collected by it each year come from the people and industries of Sumter.

If even half the maximum fine is assessed, the total will exceed $150 million. Such an outcome could close the institution, or cause it to be sold to others not based in our community. This extremely unfortunate circumstance creates numerous scenarios, none of which are good for Sumter.

As officials “consider their next step” in how to proceed, the public must be consulted. And it must happen quickly.

Hopefully, with full, frank and objective input from a group of knowledgeable citizens made up of members of our community, something favorable for the continued local ownership of Tuomey might still be worked out with federal officials.

The stakes are high, and time is limited.

If the hospital can be saved for Sumter, going forward, the public needs more say in this matter.

Does verdict open hospital up to class-action lawsuits?

When Tuomey Healthcare System was found guilty for violation of the Stark Law, it was basically found guilty for overbilling Medicare, entering into illegal contracts which overpaid doctors and providing “kickbacks” to those doctors for referrals to the THCS facilities. Doctors who entered into those illegal contracts were contractually bound to refer and perform certain procedures at the various Tuomey Healthcare facilities, i.e, Outpatient Surgery Center, Endoscopy Center, Outpatient Imaging Center, etc., all of which was at higher price than available on the open market. Other options were not discussed!

Does this verdict and actions by the doctors who were operating under a illegal contract open up the hospital and those doctors for additional and even class-action lawsuits by the patients who received those treatments?

I hope we find an answer to see how far this corporation really went to “service the local community with quality health care.”

PHIL LEVENTIS Sumter

Editor’s note: Phil Leventis served in the S.C. Senate from 1981 to 2013, representing District 35, which includes Sumter and Lee counties.

Administration’s foreign policy dishonors the fallen As I ponder the events over the loss of four Americans during the 911 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, I shake my head in disbelief at the level of dereliction of duty, ineptitude, prevarication, foot dragging and stone walling by the Defense Department, State Department, Justice Department and this administration. What’s even more disturbing is the national news media’s culpability in advancing the administration’s spin over the events that took place before, during and after an easily discernible terrorist attack. Instead of the media being the fourth rail of government that kept the public informed through objective reporting, they provided an incumbent president up for re-election a huge smoke screen in order to aid his re-election bid during a major presidential election. Moreover, as the Republicans tried to spark attention to the worst foreign policy failure in 30 years, their actions resulted in being shut out, shamed and castigated by the same media.

Most Americans know that the buck stops with the Oval Office when it comes to foreign policy issues. Naturally, the State Department has a say, but all foreign policy ultimately rests with the president. What’s more, every military, civil and foreign service member knows he or she can be called upon by an administration to serve anywhere around the world in order to fulfill our nation’s foreign policy obligations not only to our allies, but also new Democratic interests. They also know based on past administrations that if they are ordered in harm’s way, they can rely on their government for two things: having their backs and supporting no one left behind. Obviously with this event, all that has changed with this administration. Furthermore, anyone who has served in our nation’s military intelligence and surveillance fields knows that our military has the most sophisti-

Hospital gives human touch to those who need care Sadly, Tuomey Hospital has had a lot of negative press lately, but I would like to express that it is not just a building, but the working parts are the nurses, doctors, those who fill out forms and all of the others who lend the human touch.

When one is facing surgery, such as I was recently, it is such comforting feeling to have someone call you to pre-admit you and make you feel like you are the only patient and that they care about you; this dear lady prayed with me over the phone. I am sure that she does this many, many times each day of the week, but she made it seem that she was only interested in what was going on with me.

Everyone in outpatient surgery treated me the same way, and they will never know how much I appreciated their caring and helping me to feel calm and assured that everything would be all right. Which it was, thanks to the skilled hands of Dr. DeHoll. They called post-surgery to ask how I was doing and sent a card from the attending nurses. I’m sure that they do that for all, but what a lovely, caring touch to someone whose day is made brighter by the gesture.

So, I would like to thank every employee of Tuomey who helped to make my experience there as pleasant as it could possibly be, and aiding in my recovery!

For Cleveland women, ordeal of recovery begins now

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Year after year, the clock ticked by and the calendar marched forward, carrying the three women further from the real world and pulling them deeper into an isolated nightmare.

Now, for the women freed from captivity inside a Cleveland house, the ordeal is not over. Next comes recovery â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from sexual abuse and their sudden, jarring re-entry into a world much different from the one they were snatched from a decade ago.

Therapists say that with extensive treatment and support, healing is likely for the women, who were 14, 16 and 21 when they were abducted.

But it is often a long and difficult process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of like coming out of a coma,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Barbara Greenberg, a psychologist who specializes in treating abused teenagers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very isolating and bewildering experience.â&#x20AC;?

In the world the women left behind, a gallon of gas cost about $1.80. Barack Obama was a state senator.

Phones were barely taking pictures. Things did not â&#x20AC;&#x153;go viral.â&#x20AC;? There was no YouTube, no Facebook, no iPhone.

Emerging into the future is difficult enough. The two younger Cleveland women are doing it without the benefit of crucial formative years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By taking away their adolescence, they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to develop emotional and psy-

chological and social skills,â&#x20AC;? said Duane Bowers, who counsels traumatized families through the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 10 years behind in these skills. Those need to be caught up before they can work on reintegrating into society,â&#x20AC;? he said.

That society can be terrifying. As freed captive Georgina DeJesus arrived home from the hospital, watched by a media horde, she hid herself beneath a hooded sweatshirt.

The freed Amanda Berry slipped into her home without being seen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hiding from the press, from the cameras,â&#x20AC;?

Bowers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were hiding from the freedom, from the expansiveness.â&#x20AC;?

In the house owned by Ariel Castro, who is charged with kidnapping and raping the women, claustrophobic control ruled. Police said Castro kept them chained in a basement and locked in upstairs rooms, that he fathered a child with one of them and that he starved and beat one captive into multiple miscarriages.

In all those years, they only set foot outside of the house twice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and then only as far as the garage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something as simple as walking into a Target is going to be a major problem for them,â&#x20AC;? Bowers said.

Jessica Donohue-Dioh, who works with survivors of human trafficking as a social work instructor at Xavier Uni-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A missing poster rests on a tree outside the home of Amanda Berry, in Cleveland recently. For Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, who were freed from captivity inside a Cleveland house earlier this week, the ordeal is not over.

versity in Cincinnati, said the freedom to make decisions can be one of the hardest parts of recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How should I respond?

What do they really want from me?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Donohue-Dioh said, describing a typical reaction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They may feel they may not have a choice in giving the right answer.â&#x20AC;?

That has been a challenge for Jaycee Dugard, who is now an advocate for trauma victims after surviving 18 years in captivity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;learning how to speak up, how to say what I want instead of finding out what everybody else wants,â&#x20AC;? Dugard told ABC News.

Like Berry, Dugard was im-

pregnated by her captor and is now raising the two children. She still feels anger about her ordeal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But then on the other hand, I have two beautiful daughters that I can never be sorry about,â&#x20AC;? Dugard said.

Another step toward normalcy for the three women will be accepting something that seems obvious to the rest of the world: They have no reason to feel guilty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First of all, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d make sure these young women know that nothing that happened to them is their fault,â&#x20AC;? Elizabeth Smart, who was kidnapped at age 14 and held in sexual captivity for nine

months, told People magazine.

Donohue-Dioh said that even for people victimized by monstrous criminals, guilt is a common reaction.

The Cleveland women told police they were snatched after accepting rides from Castro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need to recognize that what happened as a result of that choice is not the rightful or due punishment.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really difficult sometimes,â&#x20AC;? Donohue-Dioh says.

Family support will be crucial, the therapists say. But what does family mean when one member has spent a decade trapped with strangers?

BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press DARLINGTON — Matt Kenseth passed his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch with 13 laps to go to win his first Southern 500 on Saturday night.

Busch had the strongest car for much of the race and led for 265 of the 367 laps at Darlington Raceway. But his machine appeared to fall away at the

worst possible time and he faded to sixth.

Denny Hamlin completed his first full race since suffering a compression fracture in a vertebra in his lower back on KENSETH March 24.

Jeff Gordon would up third in his 700th straight career start.

Points leader Jimmie

Johnson was fourth and Kevin Harvick fifth.

Kenseth’s victory came without crew chief Jason Ratcliff, who was suspended for the No. 20 Toyota having an illegal part in a win at Kansas.

Carl Edwards finished seventh, followed by Juan Pablo Montoya and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Ryan Newman rounded out the top 10.

Barons, Skyhawks meet for 3A crown

BY DENNIS BRUNSON dennisb@theitem.com The Wilson Hall Barons were knocked out of last year’s SCISA 3A baseball state playoffs by Hammond in the quarterfinals.

Normally regular-season foes, the teams didn’t face each other this year.

However, Wilson Hall will get a chance to exact some revenge in the sweetest of ways this week.

The Barons and Skyhawks will play for the state title in a best-of-3 series beginning Monday. The first game will be played in Sumter at Baron Field beginning at

7 p.m. The series will move to Columbia at Hammond on Tuesday with a 7 p.m. start. If a deciding game is needed, it will be played on Thursday at a time and site to be determined.

“They were the ones to knock us out of the playoffs last season,” said Wilson Hall head coach Tommy Jones, whose team brings a 22-7 record into the series. “They beat us two straight, and they were the better team. They’ve got a really good team back this year.”

Halls headed to state Lady Barons, Lady Saints advance to SCISA title series

BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER mchristopher@theitem.com WEST COLUMBIA — No one can agree on when the last time Wilson Hall’s softball team battled for a state title, however there is no doubt the team will be playing for its first fastpitch title in school history after defeating rival Laurence Manning Academy 9-6 to win the upper bracket of the SCISA 3A state tournament on Saturday at Pine Grove Sports Complex.

The Lady Barons, now 21-6 on the year, advance to Monday’s best-of-3 state championship series against lower bracket winner Orangeburg Prep. The Lady Barons will host OP at 5 p.m. on Monday at Patriot Park SportsPlex then travel to Orangeburg on Tuesday for a 5 p.m. contest.

Clarendon Hall starting pitcher Gracyn Royce tossed a complete game in the Lady Saints’ 10-0 victory over Jefferson Davis Academy on Saturday at Pine Grove Sports Complex in West Columbia.

“I don’t have an answer as to why, but everything just came together and we peaked at the right

time,” Wilson Hall head coach Teresa Alexander said of the team’s run.

The Lady Swamp-

cats, long one of the top SCISA softball program, saw their season end, but not without a valiant effort. Trailing 6-0 after three innings, LMA chipped away with two runs in the third and one in the fourth, but the Lady Barons added two in the bottom of the inning for an 8-3 edge. WH added another run in the fifth for a 9-3 lead, but LMA countered with three runs in the sixth. It was too much for LMA to overcome though.

“I think we kept digging a hole, then we’d dig out a little bit, then we’d dig us another hole and dig out a little bit,” LMA head coach Maria Rowland said. “Seven errors -that is not going to win the ball game.”

EC far from satisfied

BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS jdriggers@theitem.com TURBEVILLE — The mood following East Clarendon High School’s 1-0 victory over Latta in the 1A lower state softball championship on Friday wasn’t what one might expect.

There ARD were congratulatory hugs and high-fives of course, but the celebration was calm and subdued — especially for a team that had just gotten a 7-year lower

state monkey off its backs.

It didn’t surprise head coach Lisa Ard, though.

“The team in 2002 won the lower state, but East Clarendon’s never won a state championship,” she said. “I think the girls realize that we have one more step.

ALEXANDER “Hopefully, we’re not finished.”

Jeff Gordon, who was getting ready for his 700th start in NASCAR’s top series, high-fives fans during driver introductions for Saturday’s Southern 500 in Darlington.

Gordon proud of milestone

BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press DARLINGTON — Jeff Gordon is proud he has reached 700 straight Sprint Cup starts. He’s even prouder he has accomplished the feat while still near the top of the sport.

The 41-year-old Gordon is third in series history with 87 wins, Gordon’s landmark start comes at Darlington Raceway in the Southern 500, a place where he’s won seven times.

Gordon trails only Ricky Rudd’s 789 straight starts for most in Sprint Cup. Gordon remains a series’ force. He’s made the Sprint Cup championship chase eight of the nine years it has been run.

And Gordon thinks his

success if far from over.

“I know that this team is capable of it and I feel like I am,’’ Gordon said this week. “We won the last race at Homestead (in 2012). So, yeah, I think that means a lot to me.’’

Gordon took time at Darlington to recall his rookie season 20 years ago when he was feeling his way in sport ruled by rough-and-tumble veterans ready to put you in a wall if you tried to pass.

Soon enough, the driver once called “Wonder Boy’’ rose to the top. He won the first of his four Sprint Cup titles in 1995 and quickly became the favorite target of NASCAR fans who didn’t take to his California roots and clean-cut style.

“I always liked it when

he got wrecked,’’ Denny Hamlin said of Gordon. “I don’t know. I wasn’t a huge Jeff Gordon fan growing up.’’

Gordon persevered, he believes, because of his focus on victory each time the green flag dropped.

“I’ve been fortunate that along the way my main focus was not getting to 700,’’ he said. “It was going out there to win and be competitive.’’

A big reason, Gordon says, is car owner Rick Hendrick and the resources at Hendrick Motorsports. Gordon said Hendrick chose to take a chance on a young, untested driver and surrounded him with talented crew chiefs, mechanics and pit staff to make the No. 24 car successful.

KENSETH from Page B1 “This is a dream come true,” Kenseth shouted on his radio. “Thank you guys very much.”

Kenseth had won three times here in the Nationwide Series, but had never come closer than third in Sprint Cup. Once he cleared Busch, Kenseth had smooth sailing to the finish to win for the third time in his debut JGR season. It was Kenseth’s 27th

PATRICK HENRY CLARENDON HALL

WALTERBORO — The Clarendon Hall varsity baseball team saw its season come to an end on Thursday with a 6-5 loss to Patrick Henry Academy in the dedicing game of their 1A semifinal series at the Colleton Prep field.

The Sains, who finish the year with an 11-10 record, trailed 4-3 entering the top of the seventh inning. With two outs and the bases empty, Ethan Hughes got the Saints going with a single. Kevin Bennett was hit by a pitch and the runners advanced on a wild pitch. Dustin Way singled up the middle off th pitcher’s glove and a throwing error allowed the second run to score and make it 5-4.

PHA scored twice in the bottom of the inning to win the game and the series.

Mason Miles went the distance for Clarendon Hall, striking out six while walking four. Bennett was 2-for-3 with a run batted in, Wes Keller had two hits, and Way and Miles each had a hit and an RBI. P-15’S TRYOUTS MONDAY

career Sprint Cup victory.

No one matched Busch for most of the race. He had powered to victory in the Nationwide event here Friday night and was running strong again after taking the lead from older brother and pole-sitter Kurt Busch 74 laps in.

Kyle Busch stayed on top through several stretches of green-flag racing and through the first four restarts. But his machine couldn’t keep up after Kenseth went by.

Crew chief Dave Rogers said Busch had a cut tire

From staff, wire reports

and only 12 pounds of pressure left when he went into the garage.

“Honestly, I have only dreamed about winning the Southern 500,” Kenseth said. “This to me feels bigger than probably any win in my career.”

The best chance to defeat Busch appeared to come from Kasey Kahne, who pressured his JGR rival on the restart after the fourth caution period. Kahne looked like he had cleared Busch but the car got loose and the back end slammed the wall.

BARONS from Page B1 deficit to win their semifinal series against Laurence Manning Academy. LMA won the opener 3-1 and Hammond trailed 3-0 going to the sixth inning of the second game. That’s when it exploded for nine runs to win the game 9-3 and followed it up with a 6-3 victory in the deciding game.

“They hit the ball really well,” Jones said of the Skyhawks.

“They are very strong in the first four spots in the order.

“We’ve got to do a good job of keeping them out of RBI situations.”

B3

Jones feels he has the kind of pitching staff that can do that.

He has three starters in righthanders William Kinney and Gordon Owens and lefty John Patrick Sears. Chase Belk has given the Barons quality work out of the bullpen.

“I’ve never had a better pitching staff than this one,” the veteran coach said. “I’ve never had one this good, this deep.

Our pitching staff goes wide and deep.

As he is wont to do, Jones is holding his pitching cards close to the vest. He would not say how he is going to set up his pitching for the series.

Jones does think Wilson Hall will have an advantage if the series were to go to a deciding game.

HALLS from Page B1 both teams, but perhaps the most important came in the fourth inning when freshman Catherine Kelley robbed LMA senior Grace Beatson of a grand slam as she caught a ball deep in centerfield, knocking over the netted fence. Despite the highlight play, LMA was awarded a run and two runners were allowed to advance a base as Kelley knocked down the netted fence. Still, that left it at a 6-3 game instead of 6-6 tie.

“My centerfielder, Catherine Kelley, played the game of her life tonight,” Alexander said. “She was the game changer; for her to make some of the catches she made tonight, particular the one that Grace hit — I don’t know, it was just one of those moments where you were, ‘Alright, this is game is ours.

If we’re going to make plays like, this game is ours.’ ” “That catch in centerfield, that was it,” Rowland said of Kelley’s catch. “That was the game changer. What an amazing catch for her.”

Kelley didn’t think the catch was that big of a deal.

“It’s not anything the rest of the team couldn’t have done, I don’t think,” Kelley said.

WH sophomore Holly Scott, who pitched all three games this weekend, led the Lady Barons with three hits and added two runs batted in.

“I learned that my team’s got my back,” Scott said. “I learned we’re a good, solid offensive and defensive team and as long as we hit the ball, we’ll win.”

Betsy Cunningham and Kaylee Pitts each had two hits and a run batted in while Emma Catoe contributed an RBI. Senior Jordain Edmondson added two hits and two RBI in the victory.

“I feel like we’ve been hitting well all year; we’ve had our slumps, but I just feel like we had to come here and get the job done,” Edmondson said. “And with our bracket, we knew we had to take advantage of our seeding.”

LMA, which beat Cardinal Newman to meet WH, finished with a 27-14 record and nothing but fond memories for its three seniors – Grace Beatson, Dixie Richburg and Tessa Sanford. Richburg led the Swampcats with a triple and a

double. Dakota Jackson led the team with two RBI, while Maggie Eppley and Maddison Cantley each contributed an RBI apiece.

“My seniors, Grace, Dixie and Tessa, those seniors have had in their career two state championships and two state runner-ups,” Rowland said. “That is a lot for those three, and for them not to make it, I hate it for them, but it just wasn’t meant to be.”

Like Wilson Hall, three games was all defending 1A state champion Clarendon Hall needed to advance to its title series.

The Lady Saints, now 19-3 on the year, defeated Jefferson Academy 10-0 in six innings and will face the upper bracket champion in Colleton Prep. CH will travel to face the Lady War Hawks on Monday before returning to Summerton for a 6 p.m. contest on Tuesday.

“Today I was really proud of the girls,” Clarendon Hall head coach Jeffery Bays said of the victory. “They came to play with a great game offensively and defensively. They executed and did everything I asked them to do.”

Clarendon Hall was led by Brittany Bays, Shannon Corbett and Kayla Phillips. Each had two hits and an RBI apiece.

Thomas Sumter Academy lost its only game on Saturday in the 2A tournament, a 10-1 defeat at the hands of Thomas Heyward. The Lady Generals, who finished the season 12-6-1, lose no seniors and hope to return to the state tournament next season after gaining some experience.

“Thomas Heyward came in fresh, and with a young team I have this year, I think that really showed,” TSA head coach Lou DeMonte said. “I’m proud of my girls this season; we had a lot of young players and it was a good experience.”

Robert E. Lee Academy went 2-2 in the 2A tournament, splitting its games on Saturday, beating Thomas Heyward 6-3 before falling to Holly Hill 9-8. The Lady Cavaliers, 16-8, only lose three seniors in Kristian Farmer, Anna Outlaw and Taylor Watson.

“We came up one run short,” REL head coach Greg Griffin said of the loss to Holly Hill. “There’s not much you can do one run short. We gave it all we had. It’s been awhile since Robert E. Lee has been this far.”

BOXLEITNER from Page B1 he played left and right defensive tackle.

“I’ve got to work on my hands mostly, to be able to separate and get off blocks,” he said. “We’re aggressive in getting to the ball and tackling.”

Zimmerman said he will train at home this summer to get in the best playing shape for the fall.

EC from Page B1 champion Dixie, which advanced to the title series for the first time in school history with a 5-0 win over Fox Creek on Friday.

East Clarendon and Dixie shared the No. 1 ranking in the final coaches poll before the start of the playoffs.

EC will host the Lady Hornets on Monday at 5 p.m. at the EC softball field in the opening game of the best-of-3 series.

Game 2 will be Wednesday in Due West and, if necessary, a deciding third game will be played on Friday at a neutral site to be determined.

Still, the significance of being one of the last two teams standing hasn’t been overlooked, especially by the seniors.

“It feels really great to be going to state,” senior Maggie Baird said. “We’ve been so close for so many years, so it’s an amazing feeling.”

That was thanks in large part to starting pitcher and senior Kaitlin Alexander. The EC right-hander has allowed just one run in six postseason games.

“I’m really excited for next week,” Alexander said. “We’ve come up short the last couple of years. We made mistakes that kept us from winning. We didn’t do that this year. We played really well and stayed strong throughout the playoffs.”

The Lady Wolverines have played solid in all three facets of the game. Alexander has been lights out on the mound and has had more than a few solid defensive plays behind her.

EC’s offense has also seemingly come up with a new hero every night — from Baird to Leslie Altman to Jordan Evans.

“I couldn’t be prouder of this group,” Ard said. “They’ve played so well in the playoffs. It was great for them to finally get that one off their shoulders and earn a trip to state.”

Bumgarner shuts down Braves Montgomery shines SAN FRANCISCO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Madison Bumgarner struck out a season-high 11 over seven innings, Gregor Blanco entered in the fifth as a pinch hitter and drove in four runs, and the San Francisco Giants routed the Atlanta Braves 10-1 Saturday.

The left-handed Bumgarner baffled the Braves, getting them to chase his fastball up in the zone and bite on curveballs in the dirt. Bumgarner (4-1) gave up just four hits and walked two, snapping a string of four starts without a victory.

BUMGARNER Blanco had a three-run double and triple in setting a career high for RBI. It was a frustrating day for the National League East-leading Braves. Dan Uggla struck out four times and Chris Johnson went down swinging three times. After a victory in Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener, the Braves have mustered just 10 hits and been outscored 18-3.

They hurt themselves defensively Saturday, and lefty Paul Maholm (4-4) lasted just 4 1/3 innings and was charged with six runs on eight hits.

The Giants led 2-1 when they broke the game open with a 4-run fifth, aided by the adventures of Braves right fielder Justin Upton.

Upton let Marco Scutaroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liner skip past him for a 1-out triple. After Pablo Sandoval was hit by a pitch, Buster Posey drove an RBI double deep to right that Upton made an awkward attempt on as it bounced up against the wall. Hunter Pence was intentionally walked to load the bases, and Braves interim manager Carlos Tosca called on Cory Gearrin to relieve Maholm.

in USCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7-1 victory

BY NEIL WHITE The State COLUMBIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The only suspense in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game between South Carolina and Georgia came down to how long South Carolina left-hander Jordan Montgomery could hold on to his no-hit bid.

It lasted until the seventh inning, when Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kyle Farmer ripped a one-out triple and MONTGOMERY scored on Jared Walshâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacrifice fly. But by that point, the No. 15 Gamecocks were well on their way to a 7-1 win at Carolina Stadium.

Montgomery (4-1), the former Sumter High and Sumter P-15â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standout, allowed one run on two hits and three walks in his seven innings. The sophomore stepped up on Senior Day as he lowered his ERA to 1.86 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though USC coach Chad Holbrook said Montgomery still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t at his best. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never felt like he had his normal command. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he was as crisp as he usually is. He was behind a lot of hitters,â&#x20AC;? Holbrook said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But that being said, he was good enough to get them out, and he did that by changing speeds. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good enough to throw some changeups even

when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behind in the count. As good as he was, he can be much better.â&#x20AC;?

The Gamecocks (3614, 15-10 SEC) clinched the series, their sixth SEC series victory on the season, and secured a winning record in the conference with four SEC games remaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We accomplished a lot today by getting to that 15-win mark in the SEC,â&#x20AC;? Holbrook said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of the way the kids played with intensity, focus and concentration the last 18 innings. Hopefully, we can finish it off tomorrow.â&#x20AC;?

The Gamecocks will attempt to get their fourth conference series sweep today at 1:30 p.m. with freshman lefthander Jack Wynkoop (6-2, 2.66 ERA) on the mound. USC has rebounded from being swept in two games by Vanderbilt a week ago with the two wins over Georgia (18-30, 5-18). â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was huge after last weekend,â&#x20AC;? Montgomery said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed some big wins this weekend.

We put together some hits and got some runs.â&#x20AC;?

Senior right-hander Colby Holmes pitched two scoreless innings to close the game. South Carolina scored a run each in the second inning, on Connor Brightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-out RBI double, and the fourth inning, on Grayson Greinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacrifice fly that brought home Joey Pankake,

Spurs regain control with Game 3 victory

BY ANTONIO GONZALEZ The Associated Press

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Oklahoma City’s Reggie Jackson, right, shoots against Memphis forwards Zach Randolph (50) and Tayshaun Prince (21) during the Grizzlies’ 87-81 victory on Saturday in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals in Memphis, Tenn.

Grizzlies silence Thunder 87-81

BY TERESA M. WALKER The Associated Press MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies call it grit and grind, and it got them through another ugly game.

Marc Gasol scored 20 points and hit two free throws with 1:03 left to put Memphis ahead to stay, and the Grizzlies held off Oklahoma City 87-81 Saturday to take a 2-1 lead in this Western Conference semifinal.

Gasol scored 16 in the second half as Memphis remained unbeaten at home in the postseason.

The Grizzlies pulled out the win in a choppy performance for both teams following a three-day layoff since Game 2 with the Thunder beating them at their own game, dominating the boards and in the paint.

After struggling at the free throw line in Oklahoma City, the Grizzlies hit all six at the line in the final 1:03 to clinch it.

“We just stayed after it like we’ve done all year long,’’ Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. “It’s not always pretty.

Tonight wasn’t pretty, but it was pretty for us because we got the win.’’

Game 4 is Monday night in Memphis, and Hollins wants one more home win for a fran-

chise in its second Western semifinal in two seasons. The Grizzlies lost to Oklahoma City in seven games in 2011 after splitting Games 3 and 4 in Memphis. But they are 18-1 at home since Feb. 8.

“I’d rather take my chances with where we’re sitting now and try to win all of our home games,’’ Hollins said. “We got a long way to go, and we got to keep battling.’’

Kevin Durant scored 25 points, but only two in the fourth quarter. A 91 percent free throw shooter in the regular season, Durant missed two with 39.3 seconds left. Durant also had 11 rebounds and five assists.

“It’s frustrating, but we can’t hang our heads,’’ Durant said.

“We have to keep playing and keep improving. We just have to learn from it. We have to embrace the tough times and get better from it. I believe in my teammates.’’

Though his teammates, with Russell Westbrook out with a knee injury, need to give him more help.

The Thunder had their worst scoring and shooting performance this postseason. Reggie Jackson had 16 points for Oklahoma city, and Kevin Martin and Serge Ibaka each added 13.

Jackson and Ibaka also grabbed 10 rebounds apiece. Durant went 3 of 11 from the floor in the second half, and his teammates went a combined 23 of 69 for the game.

Tony Allen had his best game in this series, scoring 14 points for Memphis. Jerryd Bayless added 11. Zach Randolph scored only eight points but had 10 rebounds.

“It was definitely a good feeling because we didn’t play the best Grizzlies’ basketball that we know we can play as a team,’’ Randolph said.

Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks insisted he liked the shots his Thunder took, even though they didn’t get as many wide-open looks beyond the arc as they did in the first two games.

“We are hopeful that we get those same shots in the next game,’’ Brooks said.

The Grizzlies built leads repeatedly, getting to as much as 10 in the second quarter.

Memphis won despite not winning in the categories the Grizzlies usually dominate.

The Thunder outrebounded them 51-44, with a 14-5 edge on the offensive glass. The Thunder also outscored the Grizz 44-30 in the paint, with a 23-7 edge on fast-break points.

OAKLAND, Calif. — The San Antonio Spurs suddenly returned to form. The Golden State Warriors went cold, and Stephen Curry’s sprained left ankle is once again a serious concern.

So much about this Western Conference semifinal series has turned, too.

Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili reminded the NBA why nobody should ever count them out, leading the Spurs past the Warriors 102-92 Friday night to take a 2-1 lead.

Parker scored 25 of his 32 points in a sizzling first half, Duncan added 23 points and 10 rebounds, and Ginobili had 12 points, five rebounds and four assists to ease coach Gregg Popovich’s concerns.

Game 4 in the best-ofseven series is today in Oakland.

“We talked about it, even after winning Game 2, this is going to be a heavyweight championship fight,’’ Warriors coach Mark Jackson said.

“This is a different animal that we’re going against.

They have four future Hall of Famers. They’re not going to lie down.’’

San Antonio outshot Golden State 50.6 to 39.3 percent and curbed Curry and Klay Thompson for the first time in the series.

Thompson scored 17 points on 7-of-20 shooting, while Curry had 16 points while going 5 of 17

from the floor. He also sprained his left ankle again in the final minutes. Curry was icing his ankle in the locker room and limped out without speaking to reporters. He is a game-time decision.

“It wasn’t our offense.

It was our defense. I personally have to be more physical with Tony Parker,’’ Thompson said.

Kawhi Leonard finished with 15 points and nine rebounds, and Parker added five assists and five boards to help the Spurs wrestle back homecourt advantage from the Warriors after withstanding a brief fourth-quarter rally.

After leading for 95 of 106 minutes in the first two games, the Warriors nearly pulled off their own comeback. They scored the first nine of the fourth in fewer than 2 minutes, capping the run by slicing San Antonio’s lead to 79-78 when Andrew Bogut blocked Duncan’s layup, and Draymond Green made a jumper while drawing a foul on Duncan on the other end.

Parker put San Antonio back ahead by seven with a 3-pointer during another brief burst before leaving briefly after getting kicked in the left shin. Trainers wrapped his leg while he was on the bench and he showed no signs of slowing down when he returned, though he limped around the hallways after the game.

Parker said he will receive treatment and will play in Game 4.

Pacers top Knicks 82-71 for series lead MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS — Roy Hibbert had 24 points and 12 rebounds and Paul George had 14 points, eight rebounds and eight assist to lead the Pacers

past New York 82-71 Saturday night in Game of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The Pacers are up 2-1, with Game 4 of the best-of-seven series Tuesday in Indy.

Carmelo Anthony

scored 21 points to lead the Knicks, who led only once in the game for a total of 76 seconds. New York spent the final 45 minutes trying to play catch-up but never did.

Amare Stoudemire looked rusty

Lingmerth leads,Woods-Garcia rift grows as storms disrupt Sawgrass

BY DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — A rift between Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia attracted all the attention on a stormy day at Sawgrass.

Swedish rookie David Lingmerth quietly went about his business and wound up atop the leaderboard Saturday in The Players Championship.

Lingmerth finished a wild day with an 8-foot eagle putt on the par-5 16th and a 10-foot birdie on the island-green 17th to reach 12-under par when the third round was suspended because of darkness. It was de-

layed nearly two hours because of threatening storms.

Woods, Garcia and Henrik Stenson — all former Players champions — were two shots behind. Ten players had to re-

turn this morning to complete the round.

The Woods-Garcia relationship already was frosty, and an incident on the par-5 second hole was sure to add

another layer of chill.

Garcia was hitting his second shot from the fairway when he was disrupted by a burst of cheers from the large crowd gathered around Woods in the trees. Garcia snapped his head over to the left and glared.

The cheer was for Woods taking a fairway metal from his bag, a risky shot because he had only a 15-foot gap to escape the Woods.

“Well, obviously Tiger was on the left and it was my shot to hit,’’ Garcia said. “He moved all of the crowd that he needed to move. I waited for that. I wouldn’t say that he didn’t see

that I was ready, but you do have a feel when the other guy is going to hit and right as I was in the top of the backswing, I think he must have pulled like a 5-wood or a 3-wood and obviously everybody started screaming. So that didn’t help very much.’’

Woods was aware of the comments and said Garcia didn’t have his facts straight.

“The marshals, they told me already hit, so I pulled a club and was getting ready to play my shot,’’ Woods said.

“And then I hear his comments afterwards, and not real surprising that he’s complaining about something.’’

a pocket among the trees on the bank, and all of a sudden, the bug vanished with a gentle “slurp.” Oh, baby! There is nothing in the world that can compare to catching bream on a popping bug. The fish ran right and left, finally came to the side of the boat, turned about 10 quick, tight circles in the water and then came popping up through the middle of the circle. Classic bream. Gene had me put him back because it was the only one we had caught and they really weren’t biting.

When the next fish inhaled the bug and Gene caught one on a beetle spin, he changed his mind and we began to work for mom.

The next bream went on ice.

Coffee Pot, who was now about 50 yards behind us, and seeing us having such a good time, picked up his fly rod and began to drop a popping bug himself. Not trying to pick on him, but he just began learning how to cast a fly rod, and it’s so much fun to watch him beat the water to a froth.

Anyway, he dropped his bug on the water and set the hook into a really nice one, well over a half a pound, and the fight was on. In typical CP fashion, he giggled and fist pumped and hollered like he was five years old. The boy does love to catch a fish.

After catching a couple of big’uns, CP now understands why I love a fly rod so much.

We got mom her bream and by 7 p.m. had just about had all the fun we wanted. We left a lot for fish for later.

Nothing beats bream and bass fishing with friends after a hard day at work, and being in a pond is just icing on the cake.

AFTER 92 YEARS,STILL BFFS

Juanita Tisdale and Gertrude Lyons, cousins and lifelong best friends, now have neighboring apartments at Sterling House of Sumter. They recently reflected on their long friendship and experiences together and apart, living through the Great Depression and World War II.

Cousins back together, naturally house,” Lyons said, “and sometimes she’d ride the bus and come to my house.”

uanita Peebles Tisdale and Gertrude Phillips Lyons are not just cousins, they’re best friends, and have been almost since birth. If they were on Facebook or texting, they’d be called BFFs — best friends forever.

Just two months apart in age, the women, now 92, have shared family, friendship and even some clothes.

Around their very first Thanksgiving in 1921, their parents took them to a photographer to have portraits made.

“My mother did crochet, and she had made me a little white dress,” Lyons said.

“I guess they put the dress on me and had my picture made,” Tisdale said, “and then they took it off me and put it on Gertrude for her picture.”

Lyons commented, “They’re good pictures, too. I still have the same brown eyes.”

Tisdale’s mother, Jeanette Peebles, and Lyons’ grandmother, Maggie Smith, were sisters, and although the girls lived miles apart, their families, especially the two girls,

took every opportunity to spend time together.

INSEPARABLE Lyons was born “out in the country in Lee County,” she said. “I’d go visit them a lot.”

Tisdale lived near Gable, “past where Mayewood school is now.”

The cousins attended different schools, Tisdale at Concord Elementary and Lyons at Riverside School in St. Charles.

“But every opportunity I got, I’d go to Juanita’s house and spend the night,” Lyons said.

Tisdale, noting that extended families seemed to be closer in those days, said, “We visited each other because we were relatives, but we got to be more like sisters than cousins.”

“I’d ride the school bus sometimes to go to her

LOVE OF MUSIC Both women grew up loving music, although their tastes are different — Tisdale likes country music, while Lyons prefers jazz and big band — and both took piano lessons from teachers who would go to their homes.

“Almost everybody had a family piano in those days,” Tisdale said, “so when my children came along (she has four), I made sure they had a good teacher and that they had a piano.”

She took lessons for just a few months, she said, but played piano for her church, Lewis Chapel United Methodist, for eight years.

Lyons’ interest in music was greater, and she continued her studies through college and eventually became the organist for First Baptist Church, where she began playing in 1943, shortly after her marriage to Clarence Lyons. They had three children.

“I play so much by ear,” she said. “I learned to play a lot by listening to the radio.”

Large crowds are expected to pour into the fairgrounds on Friday to witness the Carolina-Davidson football contest while the annual tilting tournament on Thursday should also attract a big turnout with all the riders in full colorful costumes.

Other local authorities also denied they were willing to accept Browder’s bond money in lieu of the service of his sentence as was claimed by a member of the state Board of Pardons. The statement was also signed by an array of top elected officials in Sumter County: Sheriff C.M. Hurst, Clerk of Court R.E. Wilder, County Treasurer B.C. Wallace, County Auditor J.B. Duffie, Judge of Probate Eleanora A. Richardson, Solicitor Frank A. McLeod, Chief of Rural Police W.J. Seale, City Manager J.A. Raffield, Chief of Police A.D. Owens and Mayor F.B. Creech.

The statement denied the claim that local authorities were willing to excuse Browder’s jail sentence in exchange for his forfeiture of a $1,500 bond came “as a complete surprise as such an opinion has not been expressed in an individual or official capacity” by the named officials. Also, local officials declared in the statement that if an unnamed member of the pardons board knew of the whereabouts of Browder “he was derelict in his duty in not divulging this information to local authorities so Browder could be arrested and brought back to serve his sentence.” The governor’s office advised it would issue a statement shortly.

DEAR ABBY — I am no advice columnist, but may I offer a few wise words to future brides?

I have been married for 25 years and have never had an argument with my mother-in-law. Never! My mother gave me some valuable advice before my wedding that I’d like to pass along. She said, “Always respect the woman who made the man you love.”

I never forgot it, and my MIL has always been welcome in my home for as long as she wishes. If we had any differences, a respectful dia-

DEAR SIMONE — Your mother is an intelligent lady, and so are you for having taken her advice to heart. Because few people are in total agreement about everything, there is much to be learned when adults can air their opinions respectfully. This is true of all human relationships.

Because today is Mother’s Day, I would like to wish a happy Mother’s Day to mothers everywhere, be they birth mothers, adoptive and foster mothers, stepmothers or grandmothers who are raising grandchildren. I applaud you all.

More than just a mother, now she’s your ‘friend’ MARTHA MENDOZA AP National Writer Josh Knoller, a young professional in New York City, spent years refusing his mother’s “Friend Request” on Facebook before, eventually, “caving in.” Today they have an agreement: she’ll try not to make embarrassing comments, and he can delete them if she does.

“We actually got into some pretty big fights over this,” says Knoller, 29.

“I love my Mom to death but she’s a crazy, sweet Jewish mother and I was a little worried about what she might post in front of my closest friends.”

As Mother’s Day approaches, 1 in 3 mothers are connected with their teens over Facebook, according to the social networking giant’s review of how users self-identify.

With more than 1 billion Facebook users, that’s a lot of mothers and kids keeping in touch through social media, says Fordham University communications professor Paul Levinson, author of “New New Media.” ‘’Facebook has been a boon to family relationships,” said Levinson.

Kelly McBride, an assistant professor of communications at LaSalle University in Philadelphia, says her students who “friend” their mothers keep their Facebook pages benign, using other social media like Instagram or Twitter for the racy stuff.

“They may be willing to ‘friend’ their mother, but when they do, they take down the drinking or partying or suggestive photographs,” she says.

McBride says she’d like to get her own mother, who is 77, onto Facebook. “I’ve offered repeatedly to make her a Facebook page so I could friend her, but she just won’t do it,” she says.

Parenting expert Susan Newman recommends that mothers wait until their children are independent adults

before friending them.

“Being a friend with your son or daughter on Facebook, to me is synonymous with reading your teenager’s diary,” she says. “Adolescents are trying to develop an identity and they have so much hovering and helicopter parenting going on, Facebook adds another layer that seems to be very intrusive.”

But Stephen Balkam, CEO of the Washington D.C.-based Family Online Safety Institute, says he was his daughter’s first “friend,” a requirement for her to even have a Facebook account when she turned 13, the minimum age allowed by the company.

“I promised not to stalk her, but I do need to keep an eye on it,” he says.

While 13-year-olds are the most likely group to initiate a friendship with a parent, with more than 65 percent of those friendships being initiated by the child, people in their 20s are the least likely, initiating just 40 percent of the friendships with their parents, Facebook says.

Rochelle Knoller of Fair Lawn, N.J., whose adult son Josh only reluctantly accepted her “Friend Request,” says the early days of their online relationship were dicey.

“I’d write a comment, and literally no sooner would I type when the phone would ring and it would be Josh — I guess he’s on Facebook a lot — and he’d be telling me, ‘Mom, you can’t make comments like this. My friends can’t even believe we’re friends,’” she says.

She says she checks his page about three times a week, and that some of his friends have even asked to be her friend. She accepted, only after checking with her son.

“Today we’re pretty much down to where I’ m allowed to ‘like’ something, and I’m allowed to go on his Facebook page and see what’s going on with him,” she says. “But that is it.”

Sumterites ‘look sweet upon the seat’ of bicycles Once there were more bicycles in Sumter than in most South Carolina cities. Today, we look at the impact of bicycles on the Sumter community. Research has revealed that Sumter was one of our state’s leaders in bicycle ownership. Noted for hosting numerous bike races, Sumter produced one of the state’s most respected cyclists — Sol Ryttenberg.

Several bicycle repair and retail shops served a large number of customers. The bicycle was used to expedite several business activities, including Western Union, whose messengers used bikes to deliver telegrams. Many Sumterites depended upon bicycles as their primary means of transportation before the arrival of the automobile. The bike was also enjoyed as a means of exercise and social interaction. This article provides a brief sketch of Sumter’s love affair with the bicycle. Information used to prepare this article was obtained from Item archives, personal interviews and Wikipedia.

reflections

he bicycle was “… introduced in the 19th century in Europe, and bikes now number more than a billion worldwide, twice as many as automobiles. …

The basic shape and configuration of a typical upright, or safety bicycle, has changed little since the first chain-driven model was developed around 1885.” (Wikipedia) The bicycle has had a profound effect on the field of transportation and Sammy WAY has become the principal means of travel in some countries. The first cycle resembling the current configuration was the “Rover” built by J.K. Stanley in 1885. The bicycle and the horse and buggy sufficed as the principal means of transporting goods and people prior to the arrival of the automobile.

THE BICYCLE AND SUMTER

In August of 1893 the “wheelmen” of Sumter met and organized the Sumter Bicycle Club. The group elected the following officers: J.M. Spann, president; J.G.B. Wilder, secretary-treasurer, and Irving A. Ryttenberg, captain. One of the key decisions made by the new club was the selection of uniforms consisting of “grey knee breeches, gray negligee shirts, black stockings and the regulation cap.”

The growing presence of bicycles on Sumter’s streets forced the city of Sumter to pass an ordinance regulating their use.

Ordinance to Further Regulate the Use of Bicycles in the City of Sumter, S.C. Be it ordained by the Mayor and Alderman of the City of Sumter, in Council assembled and by authority or the same…

Sec. I. That it shall not be lawful for any person to use any Bicycle in the City of Sumter not provided with a bell or whistle, nor to use any Bicycle therein at night without a lantern affixed to the front of the Bicycle.

Sec. II. That the rate of speed of Bicycles in the City of Sumter, shall not exceed Six Miles an hour, and at street corners and crossings the lowest rate of speed shall be used, and on approaching the street corners and crossings the Bicycle bell or whistle must be sounded.

Sec. III. That on meeting or overtaking pedestrians on sidewalks, persons using Bicycles must take the outside of the sidewalk.

Sec. IV. That when not in conflict herewith, the Rules as now of force, or which may be promulgated by the Sumter Bicycle Club, shall have the full force and effect of an Ordinance, and are hereby adopted as a part of the laws of the city of Sumter, in relation to Bicycles.

Sec. V. That any person, who shall violate any of the foregoing sections of this Ordinance, may upon conviction thereof, be fined not more than five dollars, or be imprisoned in the City prison not more than ten days for each offence.

Sec. VI. Ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby repealed. Done and Ratified in City Council assembled and under the corporate seal of the City of Sumter, this twentyfourth day of July, A. D. 1894.

C.M. Hurst, Clerk and Treasurer B. G. Pierson, Mayor EARLY POLICE USED BICYCLES

Former Police Chief W.R. Strange, who started as a rookie cop in 1920, had vivid memories of patrolling Sumter’s streets on his bicycle. In an article published in The Sumter Daily Item on Oct. 9, 1962, he noted that he “… rode a bicycle and carried a lantern to patrol the streets. Though there were few cars, he managed to nab a few reckless drivers by riding abreast of the vehicles and waving them down.

Young officer Strange carried a hickory stick to keep dogs from biting, but he recalled two animals that made him tear up his stick and bicycle.”

RACES AND OTHER PURSUITS

Sumterites were quick to introduce racing as one of the many uses of the bicycle. Organized competitions were held frequently, often involving competitors from outside the community. Many locals competed in state and national competitions, with Sol Ryttenberg being a leading example.

He earned national recognition and established himself as a leading bike racer after a competition held in Florida.

An example of a local race was reported in The Watchman and Southron in the May 1894, issue. The writer noted, “The first races of the ’94 season were held at the track on Monday after-

noon and were witnessed by a very large crowd. The ladies were out in force and were as interested and enthusiastic as any of the cyclists themselves. The first race was the closest and most exciting, the winner crossing the line just a foot or so ahead of the second man. Sol Ryttenberg was entered for the first race but failed to get a good start and his wheel fell under him.

The time was considered fast for a new track, and the prospect is that races during the season will be fast.”

In addition to racing, Sumterites enjoyed making trips to the local countryside and to nearby communities. The Watchman and Southron published an account of a bicycle excursion to Bishopville in June of 1894. “A party of twelve or more enthusiastic wheelmen went on an excursion to Bishopville last Sunday. They left this city early and followed the A.C.L. track to Mayesville. From that place they took the public road, going through the growing new town of St. Charles. The trip to Bishopville was made in three hours without accident or incident.”

“While out riding with the party in the suburbs of Bishopville, Mr. R.H. Baker ran his wheel against a tree, smashing it and seriously injuring him. His head struck the tree, and two severe cuts, one above and one below his left eye, were the result of the contact.

Dr. McClure was called in and sewed up his

wounds, taking fourteen stitches in the two cuts.

“Mr. W.A. McIIwaine ran into Mr. Baker’s wheel just as the above accident occurred and received a wound or two on his legs from the broken spokes. The other members of the party arrived home Sunday evening without accident.

Messrs. Baker and McIIwaine returned home by rail Monday morning.

Mr. McIIwaine is all right again and attending to business, but Mr. Baker is still kept indoors, nursing his wounds.”

LOCAL BICYCLE DEALERS

At the turn of the century, the A.J. Hatfield store had earned the title of “Parts Headquarters” for automobiles and for bicycles and bicycle repairs. “I’ll never forget the first bicycle I sold in Sumter. It was on opening day, and I thought it remarkable,” said Hatfield. “Some of Sumter’s most prominent citizens rode bicycles in those days,” he added. “There were such men riding bicycles as Mitch Levi, Ferd Levi, Dr. DeLorme, N.G. Osteen and Jim Winn.

Pausing on N.G. Osteen, former publisher of The Watchman and Southron, Hatfield said, ‘At one time he didn’t want anybody to work on his bicycle except me.’”

Noting that the days of that time were financially lean, Hatfield recalls putting in valve cores on bicycle tires. “I was paying almost a nickel each and had my labor, too,” said Hatfield. “I charged a dime and many times had to wait until Satur-

day to collect the money.”

I’ll say one thing though. The average credit business was much better back then than it is now,” he remarked. According to Hatfield, bicycles sold for $25 to $28 when he was a newcomer to the business. “A majority of adults had to ride bicycles because they couldn’t afford an automobile and didn’t have the credit to purchase one. In other cases, automobiles just were not available,” said the 70-year-old Sumter businessman.

Hatfield went into the bicycle business with a borrowed $500 and a lot of faith. As the one-man business progressed, he began adding automobile parts. “I put back all I could into the business,” said Hatfield. For additional income, he recharged and repaired automobile batteries.

In 1943, Hatfield’s son Aubrey “averaged almost fifteen miles an hour riding his Victory model bicycle from Columbia to Sumter in three hours.

Aubrey, at age 18, had reported to Fort Jackson to be inducted into the Army. He started his ride from 1527 Senate St., Columbia at 12:25 p.m. and arrived in Sumter at 3:25 p.m. The bicycle Aubrey rode was secured from his father and had been in continuous service since August of that year.

It was a regular Victory model and had required no repairs except replacement of one core valve at a cost of five cents.”

In addition to the Hatfield parts store, the Sum-

ter community was home to several bicycle retail and repair shops including H.L. Tisdale, H.B. Wilden and Baker’s Bicycle Shop. One of the first shops to open was Ralph Hill’s Bicycle Shop in 1908. Mr. Hill was a native of Sumter and lived here his entire life. His store, which enjoyed a flourishing business prior to World War II, served an area that included Clarendon, Lee, Sumter and Kershaw counties and parts of Florence and Williamsburg.

Hill sold three of the finest lines of bicycles made in the U. S. including the Road Master, Columbia and the Excelsior.

He also carried a complete line of parts and tires for the bikes and supplied a repair service.

The bicycle played an important role in the growth and development of Sumter. The community was blessed with individuals who sold the finest products and offered replacement parts and shops to accommodate repairs. Sumterites continue to enjoy their relationship with the bicycle. Bike trails and riding clubs are still in existence and continue to grow in popularity.

Automobiles have replaced bicycles as the primary means of transportation in the U.S.; however, in some countries cycling continues to be an integral part of daily life.

Students who qualify for this special recognition will be recognized in local award ceremonies, receive an Award of Merit certificate from the South Carolina Department of Education, and may be invited to attend summer opportunities at participating South Carolina colleges and universities.

Once identified, students who score 50 or higher on the PSAT in verbal, math, or writing will be identified as Junior Scholars, or students who participated in Duke University’s Talent Identification Program (TIP) during their seventh-grade year, who met the eligibility requirements as outlined by that program, and were identified and recognized by Duke TIP at the State Recognition or Grand Recognition ceremony will be identified as Junior Scholars.

F.J. DeLaine Elementary School received several thousand dollars from the alumni of DeLaine and community members to landscape the area around the school. District Grounds Supervisor Frank Jenkins and a crew of his men have planted dogwoods, tea olives, weeping willows, azaleas, Leyland cypress, crepe myrtles, day lilies, nandinas, red buds, hydrangeas and more.

The donation for the landscaping is in memory of the namesake and first principal of the school, F.J. DeLaine. A plaque has been placed in the school in appreciation of the donation.

PANORAMA

THE ITEM

FRIENDS from Page C1 Air Force Base during World War II. Tisdale married George Tisdale shortly after high school, raised a family and started working when her youngest child was older. She worked at the Capitol Department Store in Sumter for a time and was a secretary at Penney’s in Columbia.

“You know,” she recalled, “Gertrude and I grew up during the Depression and were married to our husbands during the war. We lived through both.”

LOOKING BACK The cousins reflected on how things have changed since their formative years.

No electronic games or cell phones for them.

As longtime friends do, they often complete each other’s thoughts.

“We played paper dolls a lot,” Lyons said, a memory that made her cousin chuckle.

“We’d cut them out of catalogs,” Tisdale said.

She said she was often surprised by how much food people waste.

“We had to use all the food we had or go hungry during the Depression,” she said. “We didn’t throw anything away.”

Lyons remembered how food, gasoline and other commodities were rationed.

“We had ration coupons,” she said,

“so we had to be thrifty.”

Tisdale remembered that “We only got coupons for about three gallons of gas a week, so when we went on dates, we couldn’t go too far, so we had to just drive a ways and park and talk.”

Occasionally, they’d ride into Sumter to listen to Snuffy Jenkins and Pappy Sherrill and their bluegrass band, the Hired Hands.

On the other hand, she said, “$3 could buy a lot of groceries in those days, but we almost never had meat during the war. We grew a lot of vegetables.”

BACK TOGETHER AGAIN Lyons and Tisdale continued to see each other fairly often after their marriages, but when Tisdale and her family moved to Columbia where they lived for 30 years, their meetings were less frequent. Lyons continued to live in Sumter with her family.

Tisdale returned to Sumter several years ago, and the cousins, both widowed, lived in the same neighborhood for a time. Tisdale moved to Sterling House seven years ago, and Lyons joined her in February.

Since arriving at Sterling House, Tisdale has taught the facility’s chef how to make her famous biscuits and red chicken stew, and Lyons is called upon often to play the piano.

“Juanita talked me into moving here,” Lyons said, “and I’m enjoying it.

We have been catching up every day.”

They’ve picked up where they left off, Tisdale said, and they spend a lot of time reminiscing.

“It just feels natural,” she said.

YESTERYEAR from Page C1 Sumter’s gains and made more than his share of tackles.

He played a bang-up game from start to finish against tremendous odds and came out of the contest bruised and battered but with the knowledge that he had given everything he had to a losing cause.”

It didn’t get any better the following Friday as the Birds received another pounding but kept the score closer against the Greenville Red Raiders, losing 19-0 at the fairgrounds stadium after a valiant effort. Most of Sumter’s offensive effort was led by Bauman, Robert Epps and Johnnie Sweatte in the backfield who made good yardage against the Raiders but couldn’t find the end zone.

The defense made a good showing led by Manning, Edens, Burns and Gibson along the forward wall.

From the “In and Around The Town” column – “The educational drift in public schools and state colleges is away from the liberal arts and intellectual development and towards vocational teaching and manual training. It appears that if the drive for a change in curricula is pursued to its ultimate goal, the youth that desire a cultural education in the liberal arts, in the broad sense, will be forced into the private schools and institutions of higher learning that hold fast to the belief that mental development and culture is of greater value than manual training.

“County Agent J.M. Eleazer, who was looking over the farm exhibits at the fair this morning, said that the display of home cured hams and bacon is the largest and best in years. ... The pardon mill in Columbia is beginning to operate again on a full-time schedule.

“If all the abandoned mill ponds in Sumter County were rehabilitated there would more and better sports for the fishermen. The reclaimed ponds in the Poinsett forest area are object lessons and hints to owners of old mill ponds. Fishermen are willing to pay to fish in well-stocked ponds.

“The H.J. Commins grocery and market on West Liberty street is now one of the most attractive in appearance inside and out, and best equipped places of business in Sumter.”

Dick also served pastorates in Georgia.

Prominent Sumter businessman Henry P. Moses has accepted an invitation to serve as chief marshal of a gala downtown parade on Friday, Oct. 14, in honor of the University of South Carolina and Davidson College football game at the fairgrounds stadium. The Davidson and Carolina bands are expected to march in the parade prior to the game that begins at 2:30 p.m. Gov. and Mrs. Olin D. Johnston are expected to attend the game held during the Sumter County Fair.

Shopping winner whoops for joy at ticket’s total – A 54-year-old Sumter County housewife, Mrs. J.F. Poplin, collected $773.32 worth of groceries and meats yesterday afternoon at Piggly Wiggly on Manning Avenue in a 15-minute shopping spree she won in the Pepsi-Cola Shoppers’ Sweepstakes.

On the “Talking Machine” – Sumterite Robert Barwick doesn’t have a time machine, but he can roll back 60 years quickly. All he has to do is turn on any one of 14 old talking machines and graphophones in his unusual collection, believed to be the largest of its type in South Carolina.

Barwick’s oldest machine is an 1895 Berliner. It’s a Victor original, disc-type unit valued at $300. His collection includes Columbia cylinder, key-wind units, Edison cylinders and one Columbia long Mandrel. Barwick’s collection includes the world’s smallest unit, a three-by-four-inch machine.

Jaycees present awards – Last night was awards and installation night for the Sumter Jaycees at the Ladies Night Banquet with Johnny Parker getting the Key Man medal.

Others named were Dick Lee, Bill Cockerill, Billy Harris, Jimmy Britton, and Sam Anderson for Top Man awards.

Rookie of the year was Lt. Rick Schlesser of Shaw AFB and Mrs. Van Hobbs was named Outstanding Jayceette. Parker, who began his association with the Jaycees six years ago on his twenty-first birthday, was cited for his outstanding achievements in the organization.

Frank Hirt, past international director, installed Jimmy Britton as the new president. Out-going prexy, Ed Garris, was cited for his leadership and given several awards and gifts of appreciation. Two other Jaycees receiving awards were Billy Harris, chairman of the project of the year and Ed Damron, past president, presented with life membership. Charles Maddox, Ed Damron, Fred McLaughlin and Jay Hicks received pins for “exhausted roosters,” having reached the age of 36.

Camp Mac Boykin in 8th season – Sumter YMCA’s Camp Mac Boykin opened its eighth season today. The Y Day Camp has improved progressively over the years and stands as one of the most beautiful camping sites in the area. It is located four miles from Pinewood in Manchester State Forest. Fifty-five acres of land and a five-acre lake comprise the area.

One of the most fun-filled programs ever offered has been arranged. New courts and games have been added, including a volleyball court, badminton court, tether ball and water basketball. A new boat dock is in operation and construction has started on a

new handicraft shop, a project of the Sumter Jaycees.

Regular program highlights will be riflery, archery, softball, swimming, boating, shuffleboard and horseshoes. The 1963 staff forms what appears to be one of the most enthusiastic ever assembled. Jack Dean, YMCA athletic director and former North Greenville Junior College coach, leads the staff. Others are Charles Hodgin, Ashleigh Brown, Will Davis, Robert Jordan and Walter Thames. General Secretary Bob Vetter said the first three of five sessions are completely full. On the other two sessions, 25 vacancies exist.

Sports news – With the American Legion baseball season getting started tomorrow night at Riley Park, fans are wondering if Coach Bernard Jones can come up with any more miracles like the one he fashioned last year in coaching an unlikely team to the South Carolina title.

Jones, an intrepid worker, who likes to use applied psychology on his squad, has smiled often in looking back to the startling 27-6 overall record Post 15 posted. Those smiles are gone now, however, as he’s got it all to do over.

This is a new season and no one realizes better than he that he can’t get by on reputation.

Returning to the Camden American Legion baseball camp this summer is Hutch Hutchinson, who stepped aside for a season or two while Bobby Robinson coached the team. Hutch, a former Sumter Post 15 coach and the man New York’s Bobby Richardson credits with teaching him most of the fundamentals of the game, has Camden all to himself this year. He has no assistant.

Education news – Hillcrest High School has joined the ranks of schools with Kiwanis-sponsored Key Clubs. The new club will receive its charter at a regular luncheon meeting of the Sumter Kiwanis Club, set for Oct. 4 at the Elks Club. It will also join the Edmunds High School Key Club in sending delegates to the Key Club International convention, July 7-10 at Pittsburgh, Pa. The slate of 1963-64 officers includes Marsden (Mike) Kelly, Jr., president; Al Cothran, vice president; John Kelly, secretary; and Roger Nichols, treasurer. Named as directors were Pete Aynesworth, David Shelton and Steve Smith.

Maj. Sam J. Hoffman, in-

strumental in organizing the club, will be counselor and Sam Fiorini, faculty adviser.

Others from Hillcrest involved in the organization were Frank Merrit, principal, and Mrs. Camille Estornelle, instructor.

While controversy waxes heavy on the school dropout problem in the state and nation Sumter County has been quietly affecting a partial cure.

The remedy has largely been the work of Mrs. George C. Aycock, retiring Sumter County attendance supervisor, who first found an answer back in 1947.When she took over her present post in 1937 she called for weekly attendance reports to be filled out on every child absent in Sumter County by every teacher, listing the cause of the absence.

After a careful 10-year study of the reports she noted that over half of the county’s absences and many dropouts were due to poor health conditions which she felt were curable. In 1947 she began to work for a program of medical and also economic aid in the form of essential clothing.

She spread “her gospel” everywhere and began fanning the flames which eventually blazed into one of the most unique organizations in the United States.

Farmer turns junk to gold – What once was junk has come in mighty handy in the weed control program practiced by Jim Waltzer in his cotton fields off Highway 15 South. Utilizing his recently acquired knowledge of welding, Waltzer has turned scrap into about 10 oiling outfits.

Besides the welding, other courses in farm mechanics which Waltzer took as a member of the Furman High School Chapter of Young Farmers came in to play.

These have led him to set up a complete home farm shop where he does all or most of his farm mechanical work, including some work for local farmers. The oiling machines were constructed partly there and partly in the Furman school shop. The 20 class meetings for young adult farmers such as Waltzer included 10 in the mechanical field, welding and farm management. The group also saw a special series on farm management and farm income taxes over closed circuit TV.

Retired educator brings new life to old trolley

BY JADE ANDERSON janderson@theitem.com Carletha Addison saw a business need and decided to fill it.

“Last year, my daughter got married, and I wanted a trolley to take the wedding party from the wedding venue to the reception,” said the co-owner of Sumter Trolley Tours LLC. “When I talked to the (Santee-Wateree Regional Transportation Authority) RTA, I found out they no longer did that.”

Her husband, Buster Addison, is also co-owner.

The ribbon cutting for the new business will be held at 10 a.m. Friday at the Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce, 32 E. Calhoun St. Addison knew she’d be looking for something to do once she retired from more than 30 years in education, but at first, this looked like an expensive proposition.

Then she learned the RTA’s trolley would be up for auction the first of the year.

“It was a much better price,” she said.

While the outside needed some work — new paint for the roof and for a faded back, redoing weathered wood work and new tires — the inside was “in excellent condition,” Addison said. It only needed a little cleaning.

“We also did some detailing and buffing,” she said.

“We spent about $5,000 fixing everything up.”

The trolley seats 32. It features heat, air conditioning or the ability to be “open air,” by popping out the frame.

She has two drivers lined up and is offering two types of trips.

She’s hoping schools will be able to take advantage of the trolley for field trips.

“Some children have never been to a farm and seen one in action,” Addison said. “In third grade, they learn about South Carolina history. A Revolutionary War site is right up the road in Camden. Maybe we can get a grant provided to the schools.

“Really, one of my main goals is to give back. I came from humble beginnings working on the farm and in the fields. I went on to higher education and spent 31 years in a profession I really loved. God has blessed us at this time to get this. As a result, I feel obligated to give

Chamber President Grier Blackwelder thinks the trolley service is a great idea.

“It’s a unique opportunity to show people what Sumter has to offer,” he said.

“Sumter is growing, and

more services are needed. It will add to our ability to host tourists.”

Happy Mothers Day We love you! From, Children, Grands & Great Grands.

In loving memory of Louise Polito, she emplyfied the best in motherhood as well as a wife & friend. her passing has left a void in the lives of all who knew her. It was especially in mine, one she called her special friend.

Farewell... the hall seems so empty as I pass your door each day, no yappy dog letting me know you're ok. I never had a chance to say goodbye or took the time to comfort you when you cried. time always seems to slip away when we think we have it for another day. A day when we can tell them how much their presence has meant as she always had a smile or cheerful words for all, ready to help when she was called. For now the tears will fall as we try to ease the pain of things. we wished we'd said or wished we hadn't said at all.

By Candace Havens © 2013 FYI Television, Inc.

When 'The Office' debuted on NBC nine years ago, there was some doubt that it would last a season. At the time, British shows weren't making the transition across the pond very well. The American version of Ricky Gervais' mockumentary-styled show had a bumpy beginning, but it has endured to air its 200th episode and series finale - Thursday at 9 p.m. on NBC. "In the first year, John (Krasinksi, Jim Halpert) and Jenna (Fischer, Pam Beesly) and Steve (Carell, Michael Scott) and I went out to lunch, when we were shooting the pilot," says Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute). "And I remember this really intense conversation. We were like, 'Could you imagine if the show got picked up, how cool that would be?' And then someone else was like, 'What if it went for, like, a season?' 'Yeah, what if we actually did a full run of this show?' And we were all like, 'You know, it would change our lives, and it would be incredible and these would be the roles that we would be known for, for the rest of our lives,' and it's so weird now, nine years later, that lunch is coming true.

"But, you know, people have asked me, 'What are you going to miss most?' Well, it's really clear to me, like, this is my other family.

This is where I've been coming for nine years, and I love all these people. We've grown up together.

We've had children. We've gotten married. We've gotten divorced.

We've cried together. We've fought a little bit - not like 'Grey's Anatomy.' And that's really what I'm going to miss the most. Yeah.

We went from some really, like, goofy kids nine years ago to the giant, megalomaniac TV stars that you see today," he laughs.

It's never easy to say so long to a successful series, but the producers wanted it to go out on a high.

"Well, this decision to end it here was made by pretty much everybody who is a producer now," says executive producer Greg Garcia, "which includes a lot of the main cast, and the contracts for the entire cast were up in season eight. And in discussing what we would do, if we wanted to keep going, it was a lot about having, like, a great final, creatively-tying up all the storylines year, but we're still doing very well for NBC, and I think that, you know, they would probably have us back for another year."

For the actors, even though they've been together for nine years, they have a tough time believing how much their lives have changed.

"I got married in real life," says Fisher. "I had a small wedding and my mom was asking me, you know, 'So, who are you going to invite? What kind of people are going to be there?' And I said, 'It's just going to be, like, immediate family and a few friends. There's going to be no famous people there.' And my mom said, 'Are you inviting your cast?' And I said, 'Yeah, yeah. I'm inviting my cast.'

She said, 'Those are famous peo2:30

ple.' I was like, 'Oh, yeah. I guess.'

But I think that we still feel about each other and see each other through the eyes of those first season relationships because, you know, you drove out here. You passed by some pretty shady stuff on the way here. I mean, we don't come to work every day in sort of a glitzy place or feeling all like that, and so I don't know. Everyone seems the same."

Everyone borrows a pencil from the office now and then. The cast has their eyes set on special memorabilia from their show. "I had my entire house remodeled to look like the bullpen," says Ed Helms (Andy Bernard). "So, I'm taking a lot of stuff for that. I've also hired most of the cast to live there with me. I actually really want Andy's Cornell diploma for some reason. I really like that."

"I have my eye on about three of the cat figurines," adds Angela Kinsey (Angela Martin).

"I want my Dundie," says Phyllis Smith (Phyllis Vance).

Kate Flannery admits her favorite item is a little strange. "I saved a pelvis cast, so I want to take my pelvis cast," says the actress.

"I want Pam's water cooler that Michael bought her at the art show, which is still on the wall," says Fischer. "And the receptionist sign, even though I don't sit there any more."

"I want Dwight's car," says Wilson. "I'm sure the producers will make it available to me," he grins slyly at Garcia.

It is sad to say goodbye, but the employees of Dunder Mifflin will live forever in our hearts.
