Wilson Hall celebrates half-century

BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com A school that was built on the tireless dedication of its founders and community is celebrating its 50th anniversary.

The idea for Wilson Hall was first proposed in 1964 by the late John S. Wilson, for whom the school is named, and his father-in-law, Shepard K. Nash, a well-known attorney in Sumter.

Wilson was elected first board chairman but passed away before his idea could see fruition, said his wife, Sally Wilson.

“The people in the community were worried about the education of their children,” Wilson said. “They wanted a school where they could maintain discipline and academic excellence. They knew if they had a small school and could find the finest teachers they could, it would be good for the student body.”

Wilson Hall seniors hug each other goodbye on their last day at the school on Tuesday.

The school began in the fall of 1964 at First Southern Methodist Church, 321 Miller Road, with 87 students enrolled in grades one through six.

“When I drove up to see the doors of Wilson Hall open to the students, I sat in my automobile and sobbed,” Wilson said. “It was not out of sadness but out of a dream that was fulfilled. And the school was now in progress.”

The school was organized

Staring down the muzzle of the .38-caliber revolver, Robert Johnson knew the scene wasn’t going to go down well.

He had just scuffled and lost with a man who kicked in his door early in the morning of March 5, 2010.

Johnson, who was a state prison guard at the time getting ready for work, tried to fight off the intruder,

a man Johnson would later learn had been hired to kill him for $6,000.

The man put six bullets into him less than 6 feet away and left him for dead.

Johnson had told his wife to escape if anything should happen, instead of trying to save him. Thankfully, she listened.

“We had made a plan because we knew I had a hit on me,” he said, explaining that he had developed enemies at Lee Correctional Institution in Bishopville with his talent for discovering illegal contraband, including cellphones. Johnson always thought the hit would be out in the streets or at the prison, though.

“I call her the bravest woman that I know,” said Johnson, explaining how his wife came back to help him after the man left him for dead. “She gave me a towel and held it on me and called 911. And she did just what I wanted her to do, leave the house — cause there was no sense in both of us getting hurt. Somebody had to tell the story.”

Small town marks big place in history

BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Beatrice Rivers, the Grand Marshall for the Briggs v. Elliot Celebration, Parade and Festival, gazed out from under her broadbrimmed hat Saturday as the parade passed by. Sitting in a Ford Model T in RIVERS front of a now closed supermarket, many things have changed in the small Clarendon County town since she was a student at Scott’s Branch School, where a petition for a school bus for the black-only school put the nation on the legal road to desegregation.

Rivers, whose maiden name was Brown, was one of the children who signed that petition.

“The parents got together and decided whether to sign,” she said. “If they signed then the children would, too.”

“It took a lot courage,” she said.

Few towns anywhere in the country have a better reason to celebrate than Summerton. The courage of those educators, parents and schoolchildren from Summerton — ordinary people — who risked their jobs, their reputations and their lives to get a better education for their children should not be forgotten.

On Summerton’s Main Street, people strolled through the bikes and classic cars gleamed in the sun at the Community Angels Fund Spring Fling and Bike Show.

A bounce house was set up and a number of booths offered everything from cellphones to body fragrances.

At the celebration, with election season in full swing, plenty of candidates and supporters wearing T-shirts took in the festivities. The Crestwood High School band marched in the parade and streamed through the crowd.

Rivers said she thinks the annual event is “wonderful.”

“They still want to remem-

ber what they did,” she said.

Naomi Bradley, who was a teacher in Clarendon and Lee counties, said the Briggs v. Elliot case was a milestone, but change was slow.

She started her education at Scott’s Branch in 1961, she

said.

“You could go to the white school but few did,” she said.

“We did not integrate here.

We are still not.”

She says she still works with children and tells them what happened.

Julia Green, who was at the festival with her family including children and grandchildren, said having the celebration is a good thing.

“My older grandchildren know what happened,” she said. “Not the younger ones.”

Rivers, who left Summerton and worked in Washington, D.C., for 40 years, said children today don’t have the same problems as when she was a child. While much progress has been made, there is still much more to be done, she said.

“I do think people should stop being divided,” she said.

The Briggs v. Elliot Celebration, Parade and Festival will continue with a worship service at 4 p.m. today at Liberty Hill AME Church, 2310 Liberty Hill Road.

S.C. Official: Adult education must improve or jobs will flee COLUMBIA (AP) — South Carolina must ramp up efforts to educate and retrain adults or jobs will vanish, says the director of the state’s Education Oversight Committee.

Just 40 percent of South Carolina’s working-age adults — those 25 to 64 years old — have an industry certification or degree beyond high school, ranking the state 40th nationwide.

Twelve percent lack even a high school diploma, according to a report released last month by the Lumina Foundation.

“That’s why it’s getting harder and harder for businesses and industry to attract people,” EOC Director Melanie Barton told a Senate panel Thursday.

“Even if we graduated 100 percent of

our kids ready for college tomorrow, it’s still not enough. You’ve got to address the adults.”

While the state’s unemployment rate was 5.7 percent in March, about 131,500 South Carolinians remained out of work, despite 63,000 job openings statewide, according to the Department of Employment and Workforce.

Legislation that aims to match training with businesses’ workforce needs is headed to the Senate Education Committee.

Passed 106-5 by the House in January, it creates a council to coordinate all workforce training offered by various state agencies. Its responsibilities include surveying businesses to deter-

mine their hiring needs and working with technical colleges to fill in any gaps.

The council would also dole out tuition scholarships for adults who need schooling to get a job as well as grants to pay for books and other fees they can’t otherwise afford.

Its sponsor, House Ways and Means Chairman Brian White, said coordination between K-12 schools, colleges, other state agencies and businesses is essential.

“Right now, everybody wants their own kingdom, and that’s not working,” he said Friday.

The low percentages of degree attainment in poor, rural counties are

particularly startling, said Barton, who leads an agency tasked with accessing K-12 schools and overseen by a board educators, legislators and business leaders.

According to U.S. Census Bureau, just 14 percent of adults in Marlboro County hold at least an associate’s degree. Five other counties are below 20 percent.

“That explains why economic development is not happening in those counties. The workforce is not there,” Barton said.

At the top end, half of adults in Charleston County and 46 percent in Richland County hold a post-highschool degree.

L MARC COOKE / WOLVES OF THE ROCKIES

A grizzly bear is seen near the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Three states — Wyoming, Montana and Idaho — are getting ready for the possible return of grizzly bear hunting in the Rocky Mountains for the first time in four decades.

3 states gear up for possible grizzly hunts HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Hunters soon could be chasing grizzly bears across the ridges of the Rocky Mountains, leaving three states to drum up plans to ensure the iconic species won’t be snuffed out soon after recovering from threats to their survival.

The Obama administration in March proposed lifting protections for the more than 700 grizzlies around Yellowstone National Park. The bears have been considered a threatened species since 1975, but federal wildlife officials say that population has sufficiently recovered to give management to Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.

Those states and others use hunting and trapping to manage wildlife populations from elk to wolves, setting quotas with the aim of preventing overpopulation that could harm habitat and lead to conflicts with people and livestock. Charging hunters and trappers for licenses also provides a revenue source for state wildlife agencies.

Before U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service makes a final decision on grizzly protections by March 2017, it is requiring the three states to outline what their grizzly hunting seasons would look like.

The states came up with a coordinated plan late last year to guide their individual proposals, including reviewing the bear population each year, stopping hunting if the grizzlies’ overall numbers drop below 600 and banning hunting of female bears with their young.

“This is a historic undertaking because we don’t manage any other species like this,” Idaho Department of Fish and Game spokesman Gregg Losinski said.

Montana’s Fish and Wildlife Commission gave its initial approval Thursday to the three-state plan and the state’s proposed hunting season regulations, which would charge $150 to residents and $1,000 to nonresidents for what is expected to be fewer than 10 licenses per year.

FARM

Wyoming’s Fish and Game Commission approved a grizzly management plan Wednesday and still must come up with its own hunting rules.

Idaho officials plan to discuss the matter next week.

The scrutiny is intense, with wildlife advocates insisting the bear population is still too fragile for hunting and that federal officials reverse course before it’s too late.

Defenders of Wildlife is worried the federal government is moving too quickly and with incomplete information. It should delay making a final decision until the states’ plans to manage the species have been completed and fully vetted, said Jamie Rappaport Clark, the advocacy group’s president and CEO and a former Fish and Wildlife Service director.

“All the work of bringing back the grizzly bear from the brink of extinction should not go up in smoke because the game plan is substandard,” she said.

The regulations are being created now because federal wildlife officials require it, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Director Jeff Hagener said Wednesday.

“This doesn’t mean that automatically we’re going to start hunting grizzly bears as soon as they’re de-listed,” he said.

The Montana hunting regulations will be up for a final vote in July. Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Gary Wolfe warned wildlife officials to carefully align the state’s plans with the federal government to protect themselves against inevitable lawsuits.

The last major debate about hunting an animal that had been previously protected was the gray wolf. Congress lifted those protections in Idaho and Montana in 2011, and wolf hunts have since been held annually in those states.

For grizzlies, the actual quota available for each state’s hunt would vary from year to year, depending on the previous year’s bear deaths.

ooking at school class pictures today compared to several decades ago the difference is immediately noticeable. Kids today are not only bigger, but they also look older.

According to the CDC, childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in the past 30 years. Being overweight or obese is the result of a caloric imbalance, meaning that fewer calories are being used than what is being consumed.

Ask any adult who was a kid 20 years ago or more, and they will tell you that they spent hours outside playing every day. NowaMissy days, kids spend 4 or more Corrigan hours a day on average on electronic devices. During that time, they are probably snacking or eating a full meal.

South Carolina ranks second in the nation for childhood obesity with 21.5 percent of children ages 10-17 being reported as overweight or obese. These children are at a greater risk for bone and joint problems and psychological issues as well as chronic diseases such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease.

Children who are overweight or obese are more likely to be so as adults as well, and 80 percent of parents are concerned about the state of children’s health and childhood obesity.

However, the majority of parents don’t know how to help prevent this.

While kids spend the majority of their days in school, it’s important that they receive a healthy lunch or bring one from home. The standards on school nutrition are regularly updated with the USDA guidelines to ensure healthy foods are in the schools.

But offering it and making sure your child eats it are completely different.

Children swap foods or refuse to eat healthy foods that they don’t like. Pizza, corndogs and sandwiches are safe fallback options yet those foods aren’t always avail-

Kids imitate what they see, so as a parent you must be a good role model. Choose fruits and vegetables instead of chips and cookies. Get the kids involved in preparing healthy snacks and meals and talk about the importance of nutrition. Drink water instead of juice or soda and go for a walk regularly or enjoy a fun physical activity with your kids.

Getting the kids started with exercise and healthy eating at a young age sets the foundation for a healthy and fit life. As adults we know how hard it is to change those lifelong habits. If we are to improve the outlook for our kids, we must make the change with them, show them how and start them now.

Healthy lifestyle habits and behaviors are influenced by their surroundings. Schools, families and neighborhoods play a critical role in childhood development and habits.

Make sure those areas are supportive of healthy behaviors. With summer coming up it is a great time to enroll in local healthy cooking classes, nutrition camps and physical activity or sports.

Lessons learned with transgender students Schools offer advice on how to accommodate SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — From locker rooms and sex education classes to dress codes and overnight field trips, many U.S. public schools are already balancing the civil rights of transgender students with any concerns that classmates, parents and community members might have.

The U.S. Department of Education is drawing on those practices to guide other schools as they work to comply with the Obama administration’s directive that transitioning children be treated consistent with their gender identity.

That has been the policy since 2013 of the Arcadia Unified School District in Southern California. As part of a settlement with the federal de-

partments of Justice and Education that became the foundation for the national mandate issued Friday, students may use the bathroom, locker room or wilderness cabin that corresponds with their recognized gender outside school, Superintendent David Vannasdall said.

“This is absolutely not about a student on a day-to-day basis saying, ‘Today I’m a boy; tomorrow I’m a girl.’ That has never happened,” Vannasdall

said. “By the time these students are at a point where they are asking for our help, they are presenting in all areas of their life as that gender.”

The administration had warned schools before Friday that denying transgender students access to the correct facilities and activities was illegal under its interpretation of federal sex discrimination laws. But the new guidance, for the first time, offers advice for accommodating the privacy

needs of nontransgender youngsters.

In Portland, Oregon, Lincoln High Principal Peyton Chapman recalls the “challenging times” about seven years when a transgender student who identified as female transferred there after being bullied at her previous school. The student made the cheerleading squad and “bathroom and locker rooms became an immediate issue with the cheerleading parents,” she said. An anti-bullying campaign that focused on the difference between sexual orientation and gender identity diffused the situation, Chapman said.

“Some students may be uncomfortable with it, but we can’t let some people’s discomfort violate other people’s civil rights,” she said.

But there was a high level of discomfort as soon as the directive came out, with officials in several states saying they would defy the administration.

what Mississippi’s Republican governor said was the federal government’s “forcing a liberal agenda on states that roundly reject it.”

While the guidance is not legally binding and the Supreme Court may ultimately decide whether federal civil rights law protects transgender people, schools refusing to comply could face lawsuits from the government and a cutoff of federal aid to education.

At least 13 states and the District of Columbia prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity in schools.

Hundreds of school districts, from Anchorage, Alaska, and Tucson, Arizona, to Fairfax County, Virginia and Chicago have adopted similar protections.

Nearly two dozen state high school sports federations have adopted rules governing the participation of transgender athletes on competitive teams, including the ones in South Dakota, Maryland and Nevada.

Italian woman, 116, thought to be last living person born in 1800s VERBANIA, Italy (AP) — Surrounded by relatives and neighbors, Italy’s Emma Morano greeted with a smile the news that she, at 116, is now the oldest person in the world.

Not only that, but Morano is thought to be the last surviving person in the world born in the 1800s, with a birthdate of Nov. 29, 1899.

That’s just 4½ months after Susannah Mushatt Jones, who died Thursday in New York, also at 116.

Journalists on Friday descended on Morano’s home in Verbania, a northern Italian mountain town overlooking Lake Major, to document her achievement, but had to wait until she finished a nap to greet her. Morano lives in a neat one-room apartment,

which she no longer leaves, and is kept company by a caregiver and two elderly nieces.

Morano told The Associated Press last year that she attributes her longevity to her unusual diet: Raw eggs every day — a diet she’s been on for decades after a sickly childhood. She said she is down to two raw eggs a day and 150 grams of raw steak after a bout of anemia.

“My father brought me to the doctor, and when he saw me, he said, ‘Such a beautiful girl. If you had come just two days later, I would have not been able to save you.’

He told me to eat two or three eggs a day, so I eat two eggs a day,” she said at the time.

Her physician, Dr. Carlo

Brown’s

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Emma Morano is seen next to a picture depicting her when she was young in Verbania, Italy, on Friday.

Morano learned Friday she is now the oldest person in the world at 116 years.

Bava, is convinced there’s a genetic component to Morano’s longevity along with her positive attitude.

“From a strictly medical and scientific point of view, she can be considered a phe-

nomenon,” he said last year, noting that Morano has been in stable, good health for years.

Italy is known for its centenarians — many of whom live on the Mediterranean is-

land of Sardinia — and gerontologists at the University of Milan are studying Morano, along with a handful of Italians over 105, to try to figure out why they live so long.

THE SUMTER ITEM

HALL FROM PAGE A1 by five founders: George James, Paul Bullock, W. Burke Watson, James Dinkins and Deuward Bultman, Jr. Bultman is the only living founder.

“I had no idea at the time that the school would become what it is today,” Bultman said. “The quality of education and our reputation has become wellknown, and the children have done well.”

A major obstacle the founders had to overcome was figuring out how to pay teacher salaries that first year, Bultman said. The founders approached Sally Wilson’s father, Shepard K. Nash, on the issue, and Nash volunteered to pay the teachers’ salaries, he said.

The first headmaster was Dorothy O’Neal Compton.

There were 14 students in the school’s first graduating class. The graduation was held on June 3, 1970, at First Presbyterian Church in Sumter.

In 1967, the Dinkins family donated 16 acres of land, where the school’s first building was constructed and where it still stands today, Bultman said.

In the fall of 1968, students attended school there for the first time. During the years, the school has grown to include six buildings and enrolls about 780 students in preschool through grade 12.

The school was formed as a college preparatory institution, said Headmaster Fred Moulton, who’s been the school’s leader for more than 30 years.

Wilson Hall prides itself on the fact that 100 percent of its

The school has had many academic accomplishments, including National Merit Scholarship finalists and several students who’ve scored a perfect 1600 on the SAT. Mary Lou Lee has been a second-grade teacher at the school since 1969.

She said she remembers when the school suffered a fire in the lower school building in the early 1970s and had to move the lower and upper schools into one building.

Students had to be placed on a split schedule with the lower school attending classes in the morning and the upper

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS

A mee ng for private schools is scheduled for Tuesday, May 17, 2016, for eligible private schools located within a 25-mile radius of Sumter School District’s Title I schools.

Private schools may be located in or outside of the district. The purpose of the mee ng is to make recommenda ons regarding par cipa on and the design and plan for the 2016-2017 Title I, Title II, and Title III projects.

school attending classes in the evening.

“Everyone worked together, and pitched in to help,” Lee said. “The lower school building was rebuilt in one year.”

Lee said the school has a great concept of its mission and its place in the community.

“Teachers work hard to

make sure each child succeeds,” she said.

Lee said being at Wilson Hall is like being in a large family.

“It’s nice knowing you have help anytime you need it,” she said.

Susan Driggers has been a bookkeeper at the school since 1974.

She said the campus has grown a lot while maintaining a small classroom size.

“It’s a family; everyone belongs and works together,” she said. “We’ve been blessed with great leadership, excellent teachers and wonderful students.”

Headmaster Moulton said the school has maintained its mission while changing with the times.

“Schools need to progress without losing their foundational principles, and we’ve been able to accomplish that,” Moulton said.

He said the school is intertwined with the Sumter community.

“A strong Sumter community makes a strong Wilson Hall, and a strong Wilson Hall makes a strong Sumter community,” Moulton said.

The school is located at 520 Wilson Hall Road. For more information, call (803) 469-3475 or visit the school’s website, www.wilsonhall.org.

TRAUMA FROM PAGE A1 learn some of the ways he’s managed to survive not only the physical but also the emotional toll. Often trauma survivors have a long road to recovery that takes perseverance and reaching out to others who already know the ropes of creating a “new normal.�

Trauma is the leading cause of death for people ages 1 to 46 and the third-leading cause of death overall, across all age groups. The effect of years of life lost is equal to that of cancer, heart disease and HIV combined, according to the National Trauma Institute.

Johnson’s new normal started when he woke up by his bathtub, knowing he was gravely injured. He and his wife began quoting scriptures as they waited for an ambulance to arrive.

Johnson was stabilized at a local hospital to be flown to Richland Memorial Hospital in Columbia. Surgeon Stephen Fann, M.D., who now is an associate professor of surgery at Medical University of South Carolina, recalls being surrounded by a SWAT team of law enforcement officers with M-16s.

He took one look at the extent of Johnson’s injuries and called in his partner. “He had horrendous injuries,� he said, adding that the gunshots affected Johnson’s colon, small bowel, liver, iliac vein and vena cava, the large vein that drains and returns most of the blood to the heart. “It was a very big case and a very challenging case. He arrested on the table, and at one point, one of my partners and I were operating on him at the same time.�

Johnson said he doesn’t remember much but was told Fann let his wife come in the operating room without a gown or mask at one point to say goodbye to him. He said, ‘I wanted her to touch you while you were still warm before you got cold.’ That’s how sure he was that I was going to die. He said they gave me 63 units of blood. I bled out three times, and they had to use this machine to force the blood into my system because it would bleed out as fast as they put it in.�

DR. FANN’S FAN Johnson’s road to recovery would be long and slow, with more than 20 surgeries and other procedures. He now has only 51 percent lung capacity. “The violence from those six bullets, I looked it up on the Internet, at 755 feet per second, caused my heart to have a dead spot, and I have atrial fibrillation. The iliac vein to my left leg causes a limp, and it swells up, and I’m in pain 24/7 from that. I broke three ribs.

And like my wife and I say, ‘This is the new normal.’�

When Fann came to MUSC, Johnson followed him here.

They had been through so much together, and Fann never gave up on him. John-

They share a love of fishing and tell tall fish tales together, so Fann recently gave him a fly fishing rod.

Fann said it’s been a long and hard recovery. “So far so good. For a guy who died on the table, he’s doing remarkably well. He actually gave me a plaque that I keep at home for not giving up on him there in those first few weeks,� Fann said. “He has a tremendously positive attitude. He has continued to live life to the fullest. His daughter, unfortunately, succumbed to an aggressive breast cancer, and he weathered all of that while dealing with the complications of his surgery.�

Fann describes trauma patients as some of the most vulnerable in the health care system, and special bonds often form. Johnson has a Tshirt with the slogan “Dr. Fann’s fan.� “It’s kind of a special thing,� Fann said. “He has me on short dial and can call at any point, and we can get him in if he needs it.�

Fann said he’s glad to see the MUSC Trauma Survivors Network get rolling to address long-term emotional needs and provide a support network for trauma survivors.

MUSC’s Trauma Telehealth Resilience and Recovery Program offers much-needed outreach efforts to help those experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder and depression or anxiety. “I think it’s a much-needed service. I think our patients deserve these grassroots, holistic efforts. Our goal is return a person from their injury to a productive life,� he said.

More needs to be done to support trauma survivors, he said. “Trauma to me is an unrecognized epidemic in our country,� Fann said. “It’s kind of like the thief in the night. It strikes without warning. People are subjected to it without preparation. It affects every aspect of your life. The patient deals with it for the rest of their life moving forward.

It’s truly a life-altering event.

It affects the entire family.�

One of the best features of

the Trauma Survivors Network is a peer-mentoring program where survivors can help others. Fann said Johnson is one of his greatest inspirations. He shows others in law enforcement who have had similar injuries that there is life after recovery. “He shows them that despite these horrific injuries, you can have a full life after this. I call him my hero. He has had a positive attitude throughout this. He has not let his injuries and the limitations they have produced suppress him in any way. He reads voraciously. He goes on speaking tours. He’s become an advocate to improve prison security systems and to limit prisoner access to cell service so what happened to him cannot happen to others.�

FORGIVENESS BRINGS HEALING Johnson also shares advice about how recovery comes in stages.

After the shooting, he spent four months in three hospitals, and when he got home, he went through a period of depression. He didn’t want to leave his home, but his wife wouldn’t hear of it. “She made me. She would say, ‘Let’s go, we’re going for a ride.’ She took me to this one area of Sumter, and I saw this man out in his yard taking care of his yard with one leg.

And I said, ‘Man, I got a leg and a half. I can at least do something.’ And that motivated me to start doing something toward my recovery.�

Another milestone for him was being able to forgive Sean Echols, who was convicted in the shooting.

TRAUMA AWARENESS MONTH Johnson and Fann shared a moment before Johnson headed home to Sumter. “The Lord has blessed me because he woke me one morning, and it was like the

|

word ‘forgiveness’ was placed in my mind,� he said.

Johnson fought it, feeling like this man had hunted him down as prey. “It’s like it was pressed to my spirit. God said, ‘What is that to you? Follow me.’ So I forgave him, and even in that courtroom, once we had this trial, he asked forgiveness in the courtroom, and I told him I forgave him.�

It helped Johnson start to heal emotionally.

Another life lesson Johnson, now 63, learned is that some scars will remain. He’s not the man anymore who used to do push-ups and sit-ups and take a run. He has a limp and battles an irregular heart rhythm.

He has limited lung capacity.

The physical ailments, though, do not prevent him from traveling to advocate for trauma survivors and for better regulations to be able to block cellphone signals in prison.

Johnson accepts reality and doesn’t pretend the trauma didn’t happen. It helps to talk about it, something he encourages other survivors to do. Fann always let him talk and was quite frank about his medical issues, which he appreciated. “I’m handicapped,� Johnson said. “I wear it as a badge.

I say yes, ‘I’m handicapped, and I deserve the tag.’ I don’t try to gloss over anything. I deserve that.�

And he keeps moving on.

He has a new house and a two-mile trail he’s mapped out to walk, and he is working on two books. “The Lord has shown me that this is the new normal; do what you can now. And I don’t dwell on the past. I dwell on what I can do now. And I think that’s what has really helped me.�

THE SUMTER ITEM

Obama plans visit to Hiroshima this month He will be 1st sitting president to visit city hit by atomic bomb WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Obama tours Hiroshima’s haunting relics of nuclear warfare, he will be making a trip that past administrations weighed and avoided. For good reason: The hollowed core of the city’s ABomb Dome and old photos of charred children are sure to rekindle questions of guilt and penitence for World War II’s gruesome brutality.

Obama’s visit later this month already is stirring debate on both sides of the Pacific about the motivations and justifications for the nuclear attacks in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Anything he says will be sharply scrutinized in the U.S., Japan and beyond. Anything resembling an apology could become a wedge issue in the U.S. presidential campaign and plunge Obama into the complicated politics of victimhood among Japan and its Asian neighbors.

“I don’t have any problem with him going, but there is nothing to apologize for,” said Lester Tenney, a 95-year-old American survivor of the 1942 Bataan Death March, when the Japanese marched tens of thousands of Filipino and U.S. soldiers to prison camps and hundreds to their deaths.

Forty-two years ago, a White House aide suggested President Gerald Ford visit the city where 140,000 people were killed in the inferno on

Aug. 6, 1945. A senior adviser, Gen. Brent Scowcroft, vetoed the idea: “It could rekindle old animosities in Japan at a time when we are striving for new relationships.”

Asked in 2008 if he might go, President George W. Bush was noncommittal. In the end, it took 65 years for a U.S. ambassador to attend the city’s annual memorial service. Secretary of State John Kerry traveled there last month.

Obama won’t say sorry, U.S. officials have emphasized repeatedly since announcing the trip. Instead of revisiting the fateful decision to drop the bombs, the president will “shine a spotlight on the tremendous and devastating human toll of war” and “honor the memory of all innocents who were lost,” said Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser.

In some ways, Obama has it easier than his predecessors.

Japanese survivors, known as “hibakusha,” have long refrained from demanding an apology, seeking to mobilize Hiroshima’s revered sites for the causes of pacifism and denuclearization. Even if Obama’s effort to reduce America’s arsenal has stalled, most Japanese support his much-recited preference for a nuclear-free world and last year’s arms-control deal with Iran.

Nevertheless, Ian Buruma, a professor at Bard College

Many Japanese see the attacks as atrocities; others view them as punishment for Japan’s hostile acts, which included conquering much of

Navy officer fired for Iran’s detention of 10 U.S. sailors WASHINGTON (AP) — The Navy has fired the commander of the 10 American sailors who wandered into Iranian territorial waters in the Persian Gulf and were captured and held by Iran for about 15 hours.

In a statement Thursday, the Navy said it had lost confidence in Cmdr. Eric Rasch, who was the executive officer of the squadron that included the 10 sailors at the time of the January incident. He was responsible for the training and readiness of the more than 400 sailors in the unit.

A Navy official said Rasch failed to provide effective leadership, leading to a lack of oversight, complacency and failure to maintain standards in the unit. The official was not authorized to discuss the details publicly so spoke on condition of anonymity.

Rasch has been relieved of his command duties and reassigned, the Navy said.

Although this is the first firing by the Navy regarding the incident, several other sailors received administrative reprimands. The investigation is expected to be finished by the end of the month, and others are likely to be disciplined.

Rasch was promoted to commander of the unit in April — after the Iran incident occurred, but before the preliminary investigation was done.

The sailors, nine men and one woman, were detained after their boat drifted into Iranian waters off Farsi Island, an outpost in the middle of the Persian Gulf that has been used as a base for Revolutionary Guard speedboats since the 1980s.

The sailors were on two small armed vessels, known as riverine command boats, on a 300-mile journey from Kuwait to Bahrain, where the Navy’s 5th Fleet is located.

The incident, while brief, raised tensions between the U.S. and Iran because of images Iran published of the soldiers kneeling with their hands on their heads. It caused political uproar at home, too, coming on the day of President Obama’s final State of the Union address and months after the signing of a deal with Iran to curb its nuclear program in exchange for relief from financial penalties.

Navy Capt. Gary Leigh, commander of Riverine Group 1, decided to fire Rasch after Leigh reviewed the initial investigation. A Navy official said no action has been taken, at least so far, against Cmdr. Greg Meyer, who was serving as commander of the squadron when the incident happened. He is no longer in a command job.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the sailors made a navigational error and went off course.

An initial account said the “planned transit path for the mission was down the middle of the Gulf and not through the territorial waters of any country other than Kuwait and Bahrain.”

That account said the crew stopped when a diesel engine in one of the boats appeared to have a mechanical issue.

The second boat also stopped.

At this point they were in Iranian territorial waters, “although it’s not clear the crew was aware of their exact location,” the report said.

While the boats were stopped and the crew was trying to assess the mechanical problem, two small Iranian craft carrying armed personnel approached. Soon after, they were joined by two more Iranian military vessels. A verbal exchange ensued between the Iranians and Americans, but there was no gunfire.

The sailors had been scheduled to meet up with a U.S. Coast Guard ship, the Monomoy, in international waters to refuel. But about 10 minutes before the refueling was supposed to take place, the Navy headquarters in Bahrain got a report that Iranians were questioning the crew members.

Pay teachers for their priceless experience

I

only know Lynn Dreher because she, her husband, Eli, and I are members of the Sumter Chain Gang, a bike-riding group that meets regularly to encourage me to make it up the next hill.

Lynn teaches fifth grade at Alice Drive Elementary School, where I know she’s admired and respected by her students, even though she hasn’t told me so.

In fact, we speak very little about our work when we’re on bike rides. We’re more interested in discussing the virtues of her new bike, the snake in the road we just dodged or the jerk who just passed us within inches who obviously didn’t know the law requires drivers to give us 3 feet of space. (After all, bikers do make sudden moves when those snakes are still alive and come out of nowhere.)

I know Lynn as a great teacher from what she posts on her Facebook account. The post she put on Facebook of her stu-

COMMENTARY dents who created a jingle for her kickball team showed me they took the time to let her know they appreciate her.

Equally important, that kickball team they created the jingle for was a fundraiser for her Relay For Life Rick team. Relay Carpenter For Life, an American Cancer Society event, raises money to find a cure for cancer and provide other services.

That tells me she cares about her community and helping people of all ages who suffer from disease.

In November, she posted about “Girls on the Run” in which she and another teacher organized students from the school to participate in the program that teaches girls core

values and self confidence and inspires them to realize their potential through regular meetings to train to finish an organized 5K run. Taking the time to do that volunteer work outside of her classroom tells me she cares about her students’ development.

She also posted with excitement as her students expanded their minds on a field trip to Wonderworks.

Through her Facebook posts I know more about her than I do other teachers in Sumter School District. But I feel she exemplifies the unsung heroes in our community who go about their business every day with little fanfare, but we know they love their jobs.

Teachers such as Lynn are priceless.

At least we like to talk that way.

I don’t know (and it’s none of my business) where Lynn sits on the district salary schedule that bases salary on the number of years taught and the

level of education the teacher has acquired. But when I discovered that beginning teachers make $30,999 a year, I was taken aback.

There has been a national discussion about a need to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Some states, such as California, have already adopted that minimum wage. An annual income at $15 an hour based on 40 hours a week for 52 weeks comes to $31,200 or $201 more than we now pay our first-year teachers.

Quite frankly, that’s embarrassing. And it surely doesn’t inspire youth to become teachers.

Lynn represents the kind of teachers we want in our district — those who bring enthusiasm to the classroom, exemplify ethical standards and motivate students to reach their potential.

The local economic development organization threw its support behind a proposal by the district to give teachers a 5

percent raise by raising taxes, not on homeowners but on the business community, which has the most to gain from an educated workforce. The proposal would also expand the upper level of teaching experience pay steps from 22 to 30.

Bravo to Jay Schwedler, president and CEO of the Sumter Economic Development Board, for making that point to Sumter County Council. He told the board that although manufacturing companies would be the hardest hit by the increase, they’re willing to invest in the community to make it better.

And those manufacturers will become the beneficiaries of a well-educated workforce.

If they are willing to put their money where their mouths are, we’ll be able to retain teachers such as Lynn — even if we only know them from bike rides and Facebook accounts.

New digital initiatives, services for Sumter

M

ore than 20 years ago, The Sumter Item officially entered the digital era with the launch of www. theitem.com, now the most well-established, “findable” local website in this region of South Carolina.

Years of providing valuable, relevant, searchable local content has made our site a dominant online force in this marGraham ket. To put that in Osteen perspective, consider that from last May until today, the site had more than 3.5 million “sessions.” Google Analytics defines a session as “a group of interactions that take place on your website within a given time frame.”

In technical terms, that’s a “mess of people” taking time to interact in a wide variety of ways with Sumter’s busiest website on a regular daily basis. They’re reading stories and obituaries, searching for information, linking to local businesses and generally learning more about this part of the world. Statistics show that they do indeed come from all over the world.

Our experience has led to a couple of important conclusions. One, we are agnostic as to platform. If our readers want to consume our content on paper, on a smartphone, on a Web browser or on a tablet, we’re happy to provide it for them.

The second, equally important conclusion is that we cannot, and must not, provide quality local content for free. The Sumter Item has never wavered in its now 122-year-old daily commitment to providing indispensable, interesting and unique journalism and advertising information that is important to readers in Sumter, Clarendon and Leecounties.

This work makes a difference, and providing these important, trusted services costs millions of dollars to produce and distribute.

At roughly $14 a month, our content remains a great value in any local community that cares about the people, progress and growth of area businesses and institutions.

As has always been the

COMMENTARY case, our six-day print subscribers receive all of our digital content with their print subscriptions. Digital-only subscriptions and day passes to the web site are available, but many of our readers appreciate the opportunity to receive our product in both formats.

For our six-day print subscribers, we’re now proud to offer the new Sumter Item Rewards Program App, a great way to save money at dozens of area businesses. Subscribers simply download the App to their Apple or Android smartphone and start saving.

A simple example is that you may get a “buy one, get one free” lunch deal at a participating Sumter restaurant, save 20 percent on an oil change, then finish off the Sumter savings bonanza with 15 percent off at a local salon. In no time at all, you’ve easily paid for your valuable Sumter Item subscription, and you’re just getting warmed up.

The Sumter Item Rewards Program is simple to take advantage of, so just click the link on the lower right side of www.theitem.com; go to item.clickitrewards.com; or call (803) 774-1200 to discuss how to take advantage of this great new value with a live, friendly and helpful person. We have plenty of them.

••• On a related note, check out today’s Sunday Business front explaining our new venture into providing local digital services.

The Iris Digital Agency — www.theirisagency.com — will be a game-changer for many local businesses and institutions, and we’re excited to be providing this advanced new customer service.

Managing Editor Rick Carpenter’s story explains it all, and next week there will be multiple opportunities for you to learn more at the free seminars on Wednesday and Thursday.

We encourage you to take advantage of this effort and remember the most important lesson of all: It’s all about the “media mix” these days.

Go forth and prosper, and don’t be intimidated by this often confusing new world. We can help.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I DO NOT ENVY ANYONE PICKING BETWEEN BERNIE AND HILLARY In reference to Mr. Lee Roy Campbell’s letter on May 13, in regards to his “opinion” of anybody who supports and votes for Donald Trump: For the record, I am not ignorant, racist, narcissistic or self-centered. I fully support Mr. Trump and have from day one. To think that a Trump administration would be Nazi-like is stupid. But I fully understand why you would think that way considering your political affiliation and the current administration.

To be quite frank, I do not envy any Democrat who has to decide between Bernie and Hillary. Flip a coin? Rock/ paper/scissors? Must be tough having to decide between the lesser of two evils. We all know that Hillary is going to get the Democratic nomination, and I, along with millions of others, are terrified that another Clinton administration will be another Obama-like administration.

I am a conservative Republican, and I, too, am proud. Democrats are more worried about keeping their voter base happy. They tell you what you want to hear, but does anything change? I’ve seen none.

Democrats would rather leave our southern border open so a potentially larger voter base can come in by the thousands. Democrats are more concerned about which bathroom people should use. Democrats are more concerned about taking away my constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

I support Trump because, again, like millions of others, we feel he will run this country like a business. Nobody has him “in their pockets” like most Democrats. I could go on and on with reasons, but you don’t care.

My suggestion to you, Mr. Campbell, is to wake up and realize that the Democratic party doesn’t care about you. All they care about is keeping their precious jobs.

President Lyndon Johnson said something in 1964, and I’ll paraphrase so as to not use an impolite word: “I’ll have those black folks voting Democrat for the next 200 years.” Seems it has worked. So far.

DENNIS E. VICKERS Wedgefield

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOYS, GIRLS USED TO BE OBVIOUS Unbelievable. I would like someone to tell me what the difference is among transgender, bi-gender and Transylvania.

It used to be that we all knew the difference between boys and girls; it wasn’t hard to tell. At least 98 percent of us knew, and the other 2 percent kept their mouths shut.

Now the federal government is trying to legislate public bathroom use.

Perhaps it won’t be long before they want us to disclose our personal bathroom habits.

Now that it looks like Donald Trump will be our nominee, and today it was announced that Chris Christie will head his transition team. I implore everyone to re-examine their choice for president. We must have a Republican in the White House before the country falls completely apart. As it is, there is no law and order with our president defending the law breakers.

Every person with an affiliation with the Clintons, the Obamas or the Sanders should be shipped to Cuba, where they would be right at home.

Is Clinton running low on enthusiasm?

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks during a campaign rally in Blackwood, New Jersey, on Thursday. Read the full story at theitem.com.

MAY 15, 2016 JACQUELINE BRODY COLUMBIA — “A devoted wife and mother, far more precious than jewels.”

Jackie Brody, 88, beloved widow of Alex Brody of Sumter, died on May 12, 2016, at home in Columbia.

Born on Oct. 8, 1927, in Hopewell, Virginia, she was a daughter of BRODY Harry and Frieda Goldman. She graduated from Endicott College in 1948, a small seaside private college, known for its vision to educate women for greater independence and position as the country emerged from wartime and the Depression. Jackie was the daily refuge for 47 years for her husband, Alex, a longtime clothing merchant in Sumter, until his death in 1997.

We remember her unwavering independent style of strength, convictions and responsibility, along with her beauty, twinkling eyes and easy laugh. Her hospitality shone in her love of family and friends gathered for her sensational dinners and stimulating, always lively, conversations on current issues. She loved reading, bridge, golf, politics, dogs, investing, long walks and classic movies. She was great company.

The funeral service will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday at Temple Sinai, 11 Church St., Sumter.

The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday at 23 Huntwick Court, Arcadia Lakes, Columbia. Interment will be private.

She will be missed dearly by her daughter, Sheila Brody Cooke of Columbia; son, Mark I. Brody of Greenville; and granddaughters, Tao Brody of Charlotte and Tate Brody of Greenville.

The family is very grateful to Hospice Care of Tri-County for their diligent care, especially the love and kindness of all her personal caregivers.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Temple Sinai, 11 Church St., Sumter SC 29150 or Hospice Care of Tri-County, 166 Stoneridge Drive No. 100, Columbia SC 29210.

ANITA JOHNSON Anita Denise Bolden Johnson, 56, peacefully departed this life on Monday, May 9, 2016, at Gilchrist Hospice Care Medical Center, Towson, Maryland. Born Sept. 24, 1959, in Sumter, she was the daughter of the late Joseph Bolden Sr. and Maggie D. Bolden. She was educated in the Sumter County public school system

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Rock concert rallies versus intimate town halls.

Adoring groupies versus dutiful voters.

Sweeping promises versus targeted proposals.

Whether Hillary Clinton is competing against Democratic rival Bernie Sanders or presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, one concern is much the same.

They are outsider candidates riding a wave of populist excitement, while she is viewed as a traditional, establishment choice.

As a result, her campaign sometimes just looks a little less exciting.

Clinton has won far more votes than any other 2016 candidate. But if she moves into a general election matchup

and graduated from Hillcrest High School, class of 1977.

Nita, as she was affectionately known, received her religious education early in life at the Hopewell Baptist Church where she was baptized under Pastor L. W. Walker Sr. She leaves to JOHNSON cherish her memories: her companion, Gil Goggins, of Baltimore, Maryland; two sisters, Linda D. Bolden of Columbia, Maryland, and Leslie J. Bolden of Atlanta, Georgia; five brothers, Joseph Bolden Jr. and Robert R. Bolden of Rembert, Leon R. Bolden (Debra) and Warren Bolden (Verna) of Columbia, Maryland, and Reggie L. Bolden Sr. (Cynthia) of Jacksonville, Arkansas; one aunt, Carrie Dawson, and one great-aunt, Angeline Loney, both of Dalzell; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Funeral services will be held at 3 p.m. Monday at the John Wesley Williams Sr. Memorial Chapel, Williams Funeral Home Inc., 821 N. Main St., with the Rev. Richard Addison, eulogist.

Wake services will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. today at the John Wesley Williams Sr. Memorial Chapel, Williams Funeral Home Inc., 821 N. Main St. Flower bearers will be Hillcrest High School, class of 1977.

with Trump, she may continue to be dogged by questions about voter enthusiasm, especially as Trump pledges to continue his raucous rallies.

Clinton’s supporters say they are not worried.

“Big crowds mean nothing,” said former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell. “You don’t get extra points for an enthusiastic vote versus a moderately enthusiastic vote.”

Still, the differences are clear.

In recent days, Sanders rallied with roughly 4,000 in Salem, Oregon, and Trump drew thousands in Bellingham, Washington. Clinton held a rally with more than 1,000 people in New Jersey, but also spoke about family issues at a gather-

ing with about 15 in northern Virginia.

Trump’s large crowds were good for more than his ego. They helped him power past his numerous rivals and to the verge of clinching the nomination as Clinton continues mopping up against her last remaining challenger.

“I think the rallies for Trump are the demonstration of his appeal as I think the rallies for Sanders are the demonstration of his appeal,” said Republican pollster Greg Strimple.

He added that Sanders’ crowds have exposed some of Clinton’s weaknesses and he would not have generated that energy “if the Democrats were so enamored of her candidacy.”

So we meet again Thomas Sumter, LMA advance to SCISA 3A state championship series with shutout victories

The defending 3A state champions will see a familiar face next round as well. Liz Hussey struck out 10 in four innings and Ashton Rogers had a 2-run triple as Laurence Manning Academy blanked Northwood Academy 4-0 to advance to its fourth championship series

East Clarendon High School faced a tall task as it traveled north on Interstate 95 on Friday to Latta for the championship round of the 1A state playoffs lower state tournament. All EC had to do was beat the defending state champion Lady Vikings twice.

Nothing like a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to take the edge off though.

That’s what the Lady Wolverines got from Gracen Watts to spark them to a 5-0 victory in the opening game.

They followed it up with a 5-1 victory in the second game to win the tournamnent and advance to the state championship series.

“You get to breathe a little easier when you get a 3-run homer in the first inning,” said East Clarendon head coach Lisa Ard, whose team improved to 25-6 on the season.

EC will face a familiar foe for the state title in Dixie. The Lady Wolverines won the state crown in 2013 and lost in the finals in ‘14 while facing Dixie.

It was Dixie that Latta beat in three games for the crown last year.

“I know they’ve got Delanie (Laudenbacher) back pitching,” Ard said of Dixie, which is 27-4. “She’s pitching for them since the eight grade and she’s just a junior. I don’t think they’ve allowed a run in the playoffs (actually one in six games). We’re going to have to play really well.”

The Lady Wolverines got outstanding pitching from Brooklyn Fort in both games

Few, if any, secrets between Barons, LMA in title series

Scott’s Branch boys finish second in 1A state meet

By DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com There will be few, if any, secrets when the SCISA 3A baseball state championship series begins on Monday.

That’s because it will be pitting 2-time defending state champion Wilson Hall against its Region II rival Laurence Manning Academy, the team it beat for the 2014 title.

“These kids have been playing against each other for a long time,” LMA head coach Barry Hatfield said of his Swampcats and the Barons.

“They know each other. When it rained on Friday (when Laurence Manning was trying to practice), we pulled out the scouting reports (on Wilson Hall). We were done in about five minutes.”

Jimmie Johnson waits in his car before practice on Saturday at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Del. Johnson has 10 wins at the track and is looking for No. 11 today in the AAA 400.

Johnson looks to extend Dover track dominance

By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press

AAA 400 lineup

DOVER, Del. — Jimmie Johnson fell in love with Dover the first time he turned a lap at the track in the late 1990s.

He can’t quit it, even when it left him with a broken car part.

Johnson’s 2015 championship hopes were over at Dover not because of a wreck, a blown engine or a mistake on pit road.

It was a busted right rear axle seal that sent the No. 48 into the garage and knocked him out of title contention. Johnson’s bid for a record-tying seventh championship came to a shocking end when he finished 41st and failed to advance to the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

The faulty finish was a rare misstep at his favorite track. Johnson has a record 10 wins at Dover, dominating the mile concrete track like no other driver.

But the last race here was the worst one for Johnson — and he’s tried to focus on the 10 wins rather than the one that got away.

“You’re going to have bad experiences at all tracks,” Johnson said. “Drivers are going to make mistakes even if it’s at their favorite track. It doesn’t matter. My love for this track ... it’s still just as cool now as it ever has been.”

Johnson won the spring race last year at Dover, placing him among a small group of drivers who have won 10 races at a single track. Johnson joined NASCAR Hall of Famers Richard Petty (Martinsville-15, North Wilkesboro-15, Richmond-13, Rockingham-11, Daytona-10), Darrell Waltrip (Bristol-12, Martinsville-11, North Wilkesboro-10), Dale Earnhardt (Talladega-10) and David Pearson (Darlington-10) in that group.

The Hendrick Motorsports driver swept Dover in 2002 and 2009 and also won races in 2005, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Rain wiped out qualifying, so Johnson will start 21st Sunday based on his practice speed.

Busch topped Saturday’s first practice leaderboard, hitting 157.839 mph in the No. 18 Toyota. Perhaps a sign of what’s ahead on Sunday, JGR drivers swept the top three spots in the first practice. Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards followed Busch.

Jones takes Xfinity, $100,000 bonus DOVER, Del. — Erik Jones won the Xfinity Series race Saturday at Dover International Speedway and took a $100,000 bonus from the series’ Dash-4-Cash program.

Four drivers were eligible for the bonus Saturday, and Jones won it for the second time this season. There’s one more Dash-4-Cash race, at Indianapolis this summer.

Jones led a race-high 76 laps in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota and he was cruising to the win until a caution came out with 11 laps remaining because Brendan Gaughan spun. The yellow flag ate up Jones’ lead over Alex Bowman, who pitted under the caution for four tires.

Jones did not pit and admitted he was worried about the strategy.

“At first I couldn’t see

how many came to pit road, I was a little anxious to see how many came and how many stayed out,” he said.

“Fortunately enough stayed out to make it viable for us to win.”

Jones was the leader on the restart with five to go, and Bowman was fourth.

But Jones got a nice push from Darrell Wallace Jr. that allowed him to break free of the pack. Jones later thanked Wallace for the push.

“You’re welcome for that restart, Erik,” Wallace said as Jones was doing a celebratory burnout.

Crafton wins Truck Series race at Dover DOVER, Del. — Matt Crafton raced to his first Trucks Series victory in 16 career starts at Dover International Speedway.

Crafton held off Daniel Suarez down the stretch Friday for his 12th career series victory. The two-time season champion had been unable to turn 75 career laps led into a victory in his previous starts on the mile concrete track.

Crafton had said he never thought he’d be able to break though and win at a track that had given him fits. Coming off a secondplace finish last weekend at Kansas Speedway, Crafton led 78 of the 200 laps.

With truck owner Kyle Busch rooting him on from pit road, Suarez was second.

Kyle Busch Motorsports driver William Byron won last week at Kansas.

Christopher Bell, Johnny Sauter, and Cole Custer completed the top five.

The injuries that complicated a state title run this year was a disappointment, but see-

ing the 4x4 team win was a good note to the end of the season.

“Two of our kids had hamstring problems and they ran their hearts out,” Eagles head coach Wayne Farmer said.

“They won it last year, and they won it this year, so they got to defend their titles. We’re looking forward to coming back and trying to do something next year.”

In the deciding game, East Clarendon won the coin toss and was the home team. Latta jumped out to a 1-0 lead, but that didn’t last long. Driggers hit a 2-run homer in the bottom of the inning and Watts followed up with a solo shot to make it 3-1.

The teams played twice during the regular season.

Laurence Manning won the first meeting 6-2, while the Barons, who won the region title, won the second meeting 8-1.

Wilson Hall head coach Adam Jarecki thinks the way those two games went easily shows what will be the key in determining in who wins the series.

“I think it will come down to who makes the fewest mistakes,” said Jarecki, who is in his first year at Wilson Hall, but knows the LMA program quite well due to his long tenure at Calhoun Academy. “If you look at the first game, we made some mistakes and they were able to win. Then in the next game, they made some mistakes and we were able to win that game. So I think it will just come down to who makes the fewest errors and mistakes.”

Wilson Hall swept its two series to get to the championship series. The Barons beat Thomas Sumter Academy 8-1 and 11-1 in the quarterfinals before topping Ben Lippen 14-4 and 9-8 in the semifinals.

The Swampcats had a more difficult road. It needed three games to beat defending state runner-up Northwood Academy in the quarterfinals, winning 4-1 before losing 4-1 only to claim the series with a 10-2 road victory. It swept Cardinal Newman in the semis, winning 12-4 and 1-0.

Hatfield is happy with the familiarity between the teams in the series.

“I think it makes for a less stressful, more interesting, series,” he said. “The kids can just go out and play.

We’ve got six starters who played junior varsity last year. The less stress on them the better.”

Neither coach knew how he was going to set up his pitching rotation for the series. Buddy Bleasdale, Ryan Touchberry and Braydon Osteen have handled most of the starting chores for LMA with Taylor Finley coming from out of the bullpen. Wilson Hall has used Edward McMillan, Drew Talley and Charlton Commander as its main starters with McLendon Sears and Daniel Reynolds seeing time in relief.

Even though the Barons lost several key parts to last year’s title team, Jarecki said getting to the championship series for a fourth straight season has been this team’s focus.

“I think getting back to this point was their goal from the get-go,” Jarecki said. “These young men just know how to win. They don’t ever quit.

That’s the way they were in football and it has carried over to this.”

Spurs unsure if Duncan or Ginobili will return

By RAUL DOMINGUEZ The Associated Press SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio’s unexpected and abrupt end to the season brings on another stressful summer that begins with what has become an annual quandary.

Will Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili return?

“I really don’t know what they’re going to do,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said Friday, a day after the Spurs’ season-ending loss at Oklahoma City. “But when they do decide to move on, sometime between now and the next five years - that’s a little bit of a joke - it will feel a little differently walking into the gym.”

Anything less than having both Duncan and Ginobili in uniform next season will be even more jarring for the Spurs than losing to the Thunder in six games in the Western Conference semifinals.

“We’ll see,” said Tony Parker, the other member of San Antonio’s Big Three. “It’s going to be a long summer for us.”

The Spurs did not expect their offseason to begin so early.

San Antonio appeared revived and renewed after resigning Kawhi Leonard and adding marquee free agent LaMarcus Aldridge during the offseason. But after winning the series opener by 32 points, the Spurs suddenly looked old and thin in comparison to the Thunder’s size inside and athleticism on the wings.

Still, the Spurs hope for the return of two of the franchise’s greatest players ever.

Duncan, 40, and Ginobili, 38, both have player options on the two-year contracts they signed last summer, but neither has given any indication what he plans to do.

Duncan said he would “get to that after I get out of here and figure out life” when asked about his future following San Antonio’s 113-99 Game 6 loss. Ginobili said he would “take my time as always.”

Duncan has played 19 sea-

sons, leading the Spurs to each of the franchise’s five championships. Ginobili has been a part of four of those titles over 14 seasons.

Popovich joked one thing is certain, the veterans won’t be turning to him for advice.

“I haven’t talked to Timmy in about 11 years and Manu stopped talking to me about three or four years ago,” Popovich said. “So, I doubt it highly. They are just going to come in and say, ‘Pop, this is what I’m doing.’ And then whatever they say, that’s what I’ll do.”

It would officially mark the end of an era if either one retires, although San Antonio’s reliance on its Big Three came to a close this season.

Aldridge and Leonard became the focal point, helping the Spurs transition for the future with All-Star seasons.

Leonard led the team in scoring for the first time in his five-year career, averaging 21.2 points and 6.8 rebounds. The 6-foot-7 forward also won Defensive Player of the Year, becoming the first non-center to win the award in consecutive seasons since Dennis Rodman in 1989-91.

“Kawhi’s just improved every year, become more confident, a bigger part of the offense every year,” Popovich said. “Obviously plays at both ends being the Defensive Player of the Year. He’s a special young man, deserves a lot of credit for the work that he puts in. He’s just going to get better. There’s more room for him to grow.”

Aldridge and Leonard guided San Antonio to a franchiserecord 67 wins in the regular season, including matching the league mark for best home record at 40-1.

That success made losing to Oklahoma City all the more disappointing.

“It’s the same, It doesn’t matter if you win 50 games or 67,” Popovich said. “There’s only one team that is happy at the end of the year and everybody else at some point is sad, but you get over it. You get over it.”

“Our backs will be against the wall,” Raptors forward DeMarre Carroll said. “It’s Game 7 on our home court with our home crowd. What better place do you want to be?”

The Heat, meanwhile, oddly seem to thrive when in trouble.

Neither side wanted to do much politicking afterward.

When asked about the way Kunitz slammed into Johnson in the final moments of the opening period, Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper called it a “trap question.” Pressed on if Callahan deserved supplemental discipline outside of the five-minute major he received for nudging a vulnerable Letang into harm’s way, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan offered only “the NHL’s going to do their job, we’re going to do ours. We’re just going to play hockey.”

The league chose not to pursue any further action against Callahan. The veteran cast part of the blame for the severity of the hit on the way Letang was hunched over in pursuit of the puck as Callahan closed in.

“He turns at the last second. I’m committed, I think, when he turns his head, and his body is pretty low,” Callahan said. “I’m trying to pin him, and in that split second, I can’t really make a decision,” Callahan said. “Unfortunately, I think the position he was in made it worse than it was.”

Callahan stressed “that’s not the way I play” while pointing out he’s never been fined or suspended.

Tampa Bay is averaging over 16 minutes in penalties through 11 games. The Penguins are averaging less than 10 minutes in the box.

Bishop left the ice on a stretcher but tests revealed no structural damage. Cooper is upbeat about Bishop’s prognosis even though he cautioned Bishop’s status for Monday night’s Game 2 — and anything after that really — remains uncertain.

“Everything has been really good so far on Ben,” Cooper said Saturday. “Much better than the scene we saw, what happened when he was

Spring tour features

6 home landscapes Sumter garden clubs sponsor colorful event

BY BONNIE DISNEY Special to The Sumter Item

T

he 2016 Spring Garden Tour will be presented by the Sumter Council of Garden Clubs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday May 21. Tickets are $15 each and may be purchased from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Alice Boyle Garden Center at 842 West Liberty St., adja-

cent to Swan Lake-Iris Gardens in Sumter or at each home on the tour. For more information, call (803) 607-9274.

LYNN AND KEITH CHARPENTIER 5 Mill Run By blending a Southern classic garden with low country settings, Lynn and Keith have created a paradise on Second Mill Pond. The white and Charleston green three-story home has multi-level porches embellished with handmade wrought iron railings. To the right side of the home sits the Charpentiers’ pool house, designed to be a replica of the Episcopal chapel on Edisto Island. A lovely classical garden statue, Rebecca, is a recent addition to the fountain in front of the pool house. Together, the home and pool house provide the focus around which the land and water garden are created.

An antique wrought iron gate provides the entryway into the front garden. Following a slightly curved brick pathway, one is greeted at the porch by a pair of majestic, black cast iron lions and two elegant black urns at the front door. The porch is surrounded by hanging ferns, azaleas, loropetalum, hollies, Yoshino cherry trees, crepe myrtles and beds with seasonal annuals — all of which provide a tapestry of color and texture that softens and enhances the house’s features.

Access to the rear garden is made on the left side of the house. Lined with tea olives, gardenias and pittosporum, the path winds its way to the patio and pergola supported with brick columns.

Here at the back of the house, outdoor life is active with hummingbirds, a variety of other native birds, squirrels and koi that live in the built-in fountain. The pergola also provides seating areas that allow visitors and family members to enjoy the vista of Second Mill Pond where cypress knees, bald cypress, autumn ferns, cattails, irises, cannas, lilies, palmetto trees and hickory trees abound.

Separating the back garden from Second Mill Pond is a brick wall with wrought iron designed “to keep out the alligators and to keep the dogs in the yard.” The panorama, a breathtaking view, is

filled with native trees and plant life along with dogwoods, azaleas, tulip poplars, hostas, hydrangeas, camellias and hanging baskets. Larger birds such as herons, geese and mallards frequent this spot. This shade garden is filled with azaleas, Lady Banks roses, daylilies, hydrangeas, camellias, philodendron, elephant ears and a special willow tree Lynn planted which also happens to be well loved by a local beaver. Nearby is Keith’s favorite place to relax, a fire pit and private dock that overlook Second Mill Pond.

Upon leaving the fire pit area, guests and family may climb the sloping path to go through a large antique wrought iron gate that leads into the smaller garden with the free form pool and pool house. Lining this area are miniature boxwoods and a metal crafted heron as well as some cherub statuary. The pool deck and the area in the pool house have Travertine tile. The area in the pool house is the perfect setting for entertaining. It is fully equipped with a kitchen, stove, refrigerator and an eating area with bar stools and a granite counter top. Nearby is a separate bar. The area also contains a lounging area with sofas and comfortable chairs, a bathroom, and a shower. A special feature Lynn included when designing this area is a crystal chandelier placed in the center of the cypress ceiling. At the moment a lovely pair of cardinals have a young family nesting in the chandelier, but they seem oblivious to outsiders watching them.

Jim and Linda have lived in many places in the United States during Jim’s service in the Air Force and during Linda’s childhood as a military child. Being exposed to diverse environments, they have planted and grown a wide variety of flowers and shrubs. Their hibiscus remind them of their “hardship” assignment in Hawaii. The red hot poker, viburnum, scuppernongs, hydrangeas, Japanese irises and oxalis blend despite their diversity.

The heart and soul of the backyard is the large patio over which Jim and Linda have built a cypress wood pergola that covers two “rooms” of the three-room patio. Complete with seating space for 24 people, this area becomes the party place where guests enjoy food, Southern iced tea and conversation. Comfortable cushions with colorful pillows invite guests to come early and stay late.

Included in the décor are antique treasures such as the cast iron stove that belonged to Jim’s mother, who actually used it, and the large, dark green ceramic elephant pieces that Linda’s mother brought back from the Philippines.

When sitting in the comfortable chairs on the patio, you’ll hear wind chimes and birds providing the soothing background music. Bluebirds, the red-headed woodpecker, cardinals, doves, brown thrushes, mockingbirds, Carolina wrens, chickadees and other bird varieties delight in the food and surroundings provided by Jim and Linda, as the birds provide pleasant entertainment for them. At night, the trees close to the patio and the major beams of the pergola are covered with tiny white lights creating the perfect ambiance for guests who may never want to leave.

BRYAN AND BETH DURANT 221 Idle Lake Court

JIM AND LINDA CRAWFORD 3015 Hermitage Drive “Come on around. The party is in the back,” says Linda to all of her guests.

Indeed, all of the comforts of the Crawford home are in the backyard at Jim and Linda’s home, where their friends and family gather to enjoy the moment and refresh their lives with good food and laughter — all in a lovely garden setting. Upon entering the backyard, guests follow the path along the fence covered with the colorful hanging baskets. Flower pots are also situated in the lower bed of dianthus, agapanthus and hydrangeas.

From this lovely entryway, the garden opens into a large area divided into five separate garden spaces or outdoor rooms complete with different types of seating areas, statuary, fountains and plant design. A master at growing and propagating Japanese maples, Jim has provided each section with some type of maple tree, including a coral bark and silver maple. Other types of trees throughout the garden include dogwoods, camellias, pine trees, tea olives, crepe myrtles and river birch trees.

In 2008 Bryan and Beth began to landscape their undeveloped “yard” at 221 Idle Lake Court. Drawn to the property’s setting for its natural beauty and its proximity to Idle Lake, the DuRants have an unobstructed view of the lake and shoreline where they can see and enjoy the diverse wildlife, particularly water birds including geese, wood ducks, cranes, blue herons and white ducks. The setting provides a perfect place for them to enjoy nature while relaxing at the end of the day or while enjoying an early morning cup of coffee.

The hard work over eight years and the careful planning have earned both Bryan and Beth a showplace with an ideal, expansive garden near the lake. Many of Bryan and Beth’s plants have personal meaning to them. For instance, they have used plants from their families’ yards and properties by air layering and growing the camellias from seed. Bryan has created a camellia hedge made from camellias from Beth’s mother Aline McIntosh’s land in Lee County as well as Bryan’s family land on Liberty Street in Sumter.

Another way the DuRants have personalized their yard is through Bryan’s artwork and unusual family antiques. Bryan creates art using copper and other weather-tolerant materials. Most of his creations are attached to the house or on a fence.

Two examples of the DuRants’ unusual antiques are Bryan’s father’s saddle rack that has been converted into a holder for a variety of decorative flower containers and his father’s abandoned large cast-iron syrup pot that was made to hold sugar cane so it could be boiled down to make syrup. Again, this nearly forgotten piece of Americana has been re-purposed as a flower container.

Parents plan to disinherit spendthrift adult children

WEDDING

McNair-Bonner Tiffany Renee McNair and Nicholas Blake Bonner, both of Sumter, were united in marriage at 6 p.m. Saturday, May 14, 2016, at Graham Baptist Church in Sumter.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Truitt Jay McNair, and the granddaughter of the late Mr. Clyde Lewis McLeod, the late Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Truitt McNair and the late Mrs. Gloria JoAnn McLeod Rabon, all of Sumter.

She graduated from Laurence Manning Academy and the University of South Carolina Aiken with a bachelor of science degree in business administration. She is employed

by Palmetto Adult Medicine as a radiology administrative assistant.

The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Randolph Bonner, and the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Roger Holman and the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hubert Bonner, all of Sumter. He graduated from Lakewood High School and NASCAR Technical Institute with an automotive technology and NASCAR diploma. He is employed by TCO Construction as a shop foreman.

The Rev. Michael Ray Lowder and the Rev. John Williamson Patrick officiated at the ceremony.

Music was provided by Kathy Gatlin, accompanist, and Lisa Patrick, soloist.

Escorted by her father, the bride wore a chiffon soft A-line gown flowing into a chapel train and accented with beaded lace appliqués on the empire waist and back. She carried a bouquet of white roses and white hydrangeas.

The bridegroom’s parents held the rehearsal party at the Sumter County Museum.

Following a Disney Cruise, the couple will reside in Sumter.

DEAR ABBY — We have an adult son and daughter who can’t handle money and can’t keep Dear Abby a job.

Should we ABIGAIL tell them VAN BUREN they are NOT going to inherit everything we have when my wife and I are gone?

We have bailed them out of trouble more than once, but they don’t seem to learn. They are in their 30s and 40s, and neither one is looking for a job. Anything we left them would soon be squandered, and there are many organizations that could put the money to good use. We would leave them something, but nothing like what they expect.

So: Tell them or not?

Perplexed in the South DEAR PERPLEXED — In the back of my mind is echoing the Boy Scout motto, “Be prepared.” You should definitely tell your “children” now, while there’s still time for them to get off their posteriors and start preparing for their financial futures.

cently, and everyone seems to be embracing our sexual diversity. However, I suspect that many of the kids who have come out may have done it to seem “cool” and be popular. I’m not trying to denounce them for who they believe they are, but it seems to be the hot thing at the moment to be bisexual or gay because so many mainstream celebrities have come out of the closet.

Because of this, many gay students are being bullied by kids who say they’re only doing it for attention and popularity. I don’t want to be subjected to the same bullying they are when I really am attracted to the same sex.

Closeted in Pennsylvania DEAR CLOSETED — If you don’t find it safe to come out, my advice is to wait to do it. I find it interesting that your student body is open to accepting gay and bisexual peers, but would accuse some of them of being “secretly straight.”

What a switch!

Sexual orientation is a personal thing. No two people are identical in that department. According to sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, sexuality can be measured on a scale from zero (which is exclusively straight) to six (exclusively gay), and everyone is on it somewhere. It’s not for others to declare where anyone else belongs.

DEAR ABBY — My husband and I hang out with a group of six couples ranging in age from 24 to 74. One day, when three of us women went to lunch, I was complaining about the list of things that needed to be fixed in our home. My dear friend came up with a great idea that works very well, and I want to share it.

Once a month a couple will host a party at their home. The wives prepare a covered dish and we all bring any sort of beverage we would like, from tea to soft drinks, beer and wine.

The men all get to work on the problem until it’s fixed, and then we laugh and eat and drink together. It’s so much fun. We call ourselves ...

The “Honey Dew” Gang DEAR GANG — I love the concept, which proves not only that “many hands make light work,” but also that honeydew is more than a melon.

Marine post at Parris Island, has accepted the invitation of the central committee on the football game to be here and to ride in the parade, and for him and Mrs. Moses to be guests of the committee at the game. Moses has a host of acquaintances and friends in Sumter, beside his sister and brothers and other close relatives.

• The Federal Rural Electrification Administration is sponsoring a plan which would make it possible for the local rural schools to establish electrical food processing centers, says R.B. Dinkins, who returned today from the REA Nutrition Conference in Atlanta. More than 200 representatives of Georgia, Florida and South Carolina REA systems, representatives of the extension service, health officials, representatives of educational groups, and other participating agencies heard REA officials and others stress the danger in lack of protective foods especially during periods of national emergency. The proposed centers would be equipped for refrigeration of foods, cooking, baking, canning, preserving, dehydrating fruits and vegetables and grinding homegrown grain. This would make hot lunches possible in schools where they have never been available before.

The equipment could also be used by the home demonstration agent, home economics teachers and others who wish to give demonstrations or conduct adult education.

• Two buses were operating in Sumter today, first to be brought here by C.B. and Moody White of Statesville, N.C., who have been granted a temporary permit to establish bus lines here.

25 YEARS AGO — 1991 May 9–15 It cost Sumter taxpayers $31,717 and some change to roll out the red carpet for President George Bush when he visited the city March 17. Sumter Mayor Steve Creech, who could not be reached for comment this morning, said after Bush’s visit that “whatever it cost, that was worth it. There’s just not going to be another opportunity like this.” The red, white and blue bunting draping Memorial Stadium’s walls and the 9,000 U.S. flags handed out to the crowd cost $4,703.15, according to the city’s figures. Signs welcoming the president cost $1,234.86.

• Should taxes collected from residents in Sumter County School District 17 be used to update and improve the quality of education in neighboring District 2? Board members and administrators in District 2 think so, and they explained why during a press conference at the district office. The group met with county officials in a closeddoor meeting to discuss their proposal.

• John Dorman will tell you that the “welfare” program he took part in during the Depression is nothing like the programs around today. Like about 3 million other people, the 70-year-old Dorman was part of the Civilian Conservation Corps, or CCC, a federal agency established in 1933 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. Created

by Congress for the conservation of the country’s natural resources, the agency provided employment and training for unemployed young men between the ages of 17 and 23 until 1942.

• It was Coca-Cola School Night at Riley Park, and a record 3,147 fans, most of them children, showed up to watch the baseball game between the Sumter Flyers and the Greensboro Hornets. What transpired on the field was not a sight to be seen by even the most avid baseball fan, much less impressionable children. The Hornets ripped four Sumter pitchers for 17 hits, including seven extra-base hits, in a 14-0 whitewashing.

• In 1973, Sumter native Irvin “Speck” Plowden Sr. was enjoying the good life as an executive with Rock Hill’s Celanese Corp., a textile manufacturer. He didn’t enjoy the moving around and numerous relocations that his career required. He purchased Zip-Up Inc., a small Rock Hill company that manufactured lights for carnival midways. The 1953 graduate of Edmunds High School has increased employment at the plant from 3 to about 150, and annual sales have skyrocketed from $92,000 in 1973 to about $20 million.

Strom Thurmond, R-S.C. • Secretary of the Air Force Donald Rice will deliver the keynote address at the University of South Carolina Sumter’s commencement exercises. Rice served from April 1972 until May 1989 as president and chief executive officer of The RAND Corp.

• Curbside trash pickup spurred heated debate among city council members at their meeting. Councilmen said the cost of adding citywide curbside recycling will require either a tax increase, a monthly fee for garbage pickup or all city residents to roll their garbage out to the curb for pickup once a week. But council members are deeply divided as to whether to make the change to roll out bins, and some said even their constituents are split on the issue.

• Sumter County School District 17 is sponsoring the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service program to help feed eligible children in the area. Food will be available at no charge to children under 19, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or handicap. Children of food stamp households or AFDC assistance families are automatically eligible.

• City election officials are reprinting ballots for the municipal elections following several candidates’ complaints about the quality of the ballots. Candidates complained that the print on the original ballots was too small, that the boxes where voters mark the candidate of their choice need to be on the right rather than the left side of the ballot.

Note the old, private homes that once lined Washington and Calhoun streets. Most have been torn down, many replaced by offices and parking areas often associated with Palmetto Health Tuomey.

While taking a series of images of the Iris Parade circa 1955, Crowson positioned himself above the parade route.

The photos were outstanding, as they not only captured images of parade participants but several buildings that no longer grace the curbs of Calhoun and Washington streets. In a case of unintended results, the viewer is able to witness how time has Sammy Way changed the REFLECTIONS streetscape of the Sumter community. The information for this article was obtained from numerous articles in The Item archives. The photos, now part of the Heyward Crowson collection in The Item archives, were donated by Bruz Crowson, former Item photographer and son of Heyward.

The photos allow the viewer to revisit the busy intersection of Washington and Calhoun streets prior to their having been widened and several homes removed. The initial photo shows the corner of Washington and Calhoun, providing the viewer a glimpse of the neighborhood prior to the removal of the homes. The church, then known as The Little White Church around the Corner, was torn down and its space currently serves as parking space for a local bank. The viewer can also see a building that once housed the local tuberculosis association that has been serving as a florist shop for many years.

The third building was a large colonial structure whose architecture reminds people of many buildings of this era.

This beautiful edifice served as a boarding house owned and operated by Mrs. Marie Spencer. This once beautiful home has since been torn down leaving no evidence of its existence.

Crowson’s photos remind readers of the number of large private homes that once lined Calhoun Street. The building, like many others, has since been removed and replaced with smaller, more contemporary office structures and parking areas often associated with the expanding Palmetto Health Tuomey facility.

CLARENDON FROM PAGE C2 are collaborating, sharing ideas and maximizing teamwork to finish another year strong … EOC strong that is.

The school’s blitz gives the students one more opportunity to review concepts they were taught throughout the year. The blitz is an aggressive, fastpaced activity that each teacher uses to challenge the learners. Students love the blitz because it takes them from the beginning of the year to where they are now in a specific content area.

The blitz tests students’ mental stamina, comprehension, knowledge, depth and ability to articulate previously taught skills and concepts. Each year teachers and students look forward to the blitz as a way to demonstrate their “survival skills.” For years, “survival rates” have been extremely high when it came to the EOC blitz. In fact, students are enthusiastically standing up to the challenge as they show teachers and peers that they are indeed ready for what they are about to embark upon. — Beverly Spry

Sumter School District INDUCTION TEACHERS RECOGNIZED Sumter School District provides training for all first-year teachers, better known as induction teachers. The participants meet monthly during the school year, and under the direction of the personnel department and seasoned teachers and mentors, the district supports teachers who are just starting their careers in education.

In celebration of the completion of their induction year, the personnel department hosted an Induction Teacher of the Year ceremony at the Crestwood High School Fine Arts Center.

Coordinated and planned by Director of Teacher Recruitment Sheree Boozer, remarks were given by Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Dr. Denise Nixon and Superintendent J. Frank Baker.

V. Watson-Smith, interim director of USC Upstate School of Education, Sumter Campus, was the guest speaker. She urged the new teachers to keep their passion for teaching and serving students while maintaining a balance with their own lives. She reminded them to take care of themselves, get enough sleep and laugh and establish relationships with friends and colleagues.

The principals were asked to nominate outstanding induction teachers in their schools who showed exceptional work ethic and exhibited tremendous professional growth during the school year. Some of the things considered were effective individual and collaborative planning; continuous monitoring and adjusting of effective instructional strategies and assessment; classroom management; positive role model; rapport with students, parents and colleagues; passion for teaching; ability to impart knowledge to students; strongly cares for his or her students; and willingness to seek assistance when needed.

The Induction Teachers of the Year from the various levels were chosen from the principals’ nominations and announced at the celebration. There were two selected from the elementary level and one each from the middle and high levels. Each was recognized and presented with a gift and a plaque.

The first elementary Induction Teacher of the Year was Kiara Wilson, a fourth-grade math and social studies teacher at Cherryvale Elementary School. According to Cherryvale Principal Dr. Henrietta Green, “Ms. Wilson implements engaging lessons through active learning, historical re-enactments and hands-on, realistic applications using technology, anchor charts, and manipulatives.”

The second elementary winner was Caitlin Murtha, an art teacher at Rafting Creek Elementary School. Principal Ida Barboza said in her nomination, “Ms. Murtha plans and imple-

ments appropriate short and longrange plans to meet the academic needs and interests of her students.

Her instructional plans are thorough and well thought out. She constantly monitors her students and provides immediate, positive and encouraging feedback to them.”

The middle school award recipient was Laresha McDaniel, a math teacher at Ebenezer Middle School. Principal Marlene DeWit wrote, “From the first moment you meet her, you know there is something special about this energetic teacher. She is very calm because she is so well prepared to teach and uses a variety of strategies to engage the students. It is hard to believe that she is a first-year teacher.”

Jaime Chase, a Crestwood High School special needs teacher, was the recipient of the high school award. According to her principal, Dr. Shirley Gamble, “Ms. Chase is a hard worker who stretches herself by participating in school activities, providing effective instruction and collaborating with teacher. She cares deeply for the wellbeing of her students and the overall success of Crestwood. Despite the rigors of her content area, she spends late evenings assisting others to accomplish school-related tasks.”

JUNIOR SCHOLARS NAMED Nineteen eighth-graders in Sumter School District have been named South Carolina Junior Scholars. The program was developed in 1985 by the S.C. Department of Education to identify eighth-graders with exceptional academic talent and to develop strategies for inclusion into special programs.

Potential Junior Scholars may include students who scored exemplary in English language arts and math on the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards in the seventh grade. Once identified, the students have two ways to become Junior Scholars. They must either score 550 or higher on the evidence-based reading and writing or 530 or higher on the math portion of the PSAT, or have participated in the Duke TIP program during seventh grade and then were recognized as Duke TIP Scholars.

From Alice Drive Middle School, the students were Fatima Abarca Hernandez, Thomas Bessmer, Jacob Bogar, Samone Howard, Anthony Jambard, Kennedy Tips and Kyle Wilson. From Bates Middle School, honorees were Skylar Brown, Haley Lordy and Lauren Moody.

From Ebenezer Middle School, Jacob Bittinger was named a Junior Scholar. From Furman Middle School, the students were Carla Gonzalez, Amber Gregory and Michael Poole.

From Hillcrest Middle School, those recognized were Kenliegh Douglass, Aniyia Good, Devin Koehler and Aaleyah Powell. Travis Johnson was named a Junior Scholar from Mayewood Middle School.

The students will receive an Award of Merit certificate from the S.C. Department of Education and may be invited to attend summer opportunities at participating South Carolina colleges and universities.

Sumter School District will recognize these Junior Scholars at a recognition ceremony at Bates Middle School on May 26.

RELAY FOR LIFE SCHEDULED The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life will be held Friday beginning at 7 p.m. at Crolley Memorial Stadium behind Hillcrest Middle School in Dalzell.

Lee County School District BISHOPVILLE PRIMARY SCHOOL ANNEX Students have been eagerly reading and working in the Flight 21 after-

school program. The end of the afterschool session may be quickly approaching, but students are keeping their momentum as they compete to gain the most points with Accelerated Reader and by refining their math skills through working collaboratively to solve problems.

LOWER LEE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Our fifth-grade students have been presented with a wonderful opportunity — their first online course. Students will be working under the direction of the guidance department to complete a course titled “The Vault.”

This is a financial literacy course for students to learn about responsible money choices, income and careers, making plans with money, credit and borrowing, insurance and safety, savings and investing. Students who complete the lessons and assessments with at least a C average will be awarded with a Future Scholar Financial Literacy Certificate.

April 21 and 22. Representative students were selected from all four grades based on academic performance, teacher recommendations and class rankings. They participated in laboratories at Clemson University and the very challenging biology exam. We were one of only two schools in the state sponsored by Duke Energy and Clemson for the series of activities, overnight stay, fees and meals. Lee Central High School has participated in this event for nearly 20 years with many participants going on to attend and graduate with honors from Clemson University.

Students enjoyed three lab activities on Thursday. Starting in the Clemson Outreach Center, the students worked through a DNA forensics lab to identify a “cookie thief” based on DNA evidence. Students worked with precise pipetting skills, gel electrophoresis and explored career options in the biochemical field. Students then were led on a walk through the Mountain Habitat portion of the S.C. State Botanical Garden with an expert in natural history. The students explored the unique habitat that the mountains and valleys contain including rare plants such as the Oconee Bell and carnivorous plants of mountain bogs.

Students were also treated to a tour of the historic Hunt Cabin located in that region made from rare American Chestnut tree. They were then challenged to explore a local stream for water quality characteristics that included collecting and identifying macroinvertebrates such as insect larva, crayfish and other water “creatures.”

The presence of these organisms are biological indicators that allow scientists to judge the “health” of a body of water.

On Friday, students headed out for the focal point of the trip, the Biology Merit Exam. The exam took about two hours, and amid some headshaking questions and some successful answers, students were glad to file into the large buffet-style lunch on the campus of Clemson. After lunch, students were invited to visit the amazing newest building on the campus, the Watt Innovation Center.

The modern styling, amazingly large touchscreens and total design provided a great finale to our visit at Clemson University. We are grateful to Duke Energy, SC Life and Clemson University for providing the experiences and funds to provide our students with a great college experience. — Kara Fowler

CAMPUS CORNER

LEE CENTRAL MIDDLE SCHOOL

COASTAL CAROLINA UNIVERSITY

Lee Central Middle School is “bringing back the band,” and sixth-grader Morgan Carter is happy to be a part of the program. “I played the trombone when I lived in New York,” she said.

“It was exciting, and ever since I came to Lee Central Middle School, I have appreciated playing it a lot more. I get to apply what I learned from my previous school. I look forward to going to Lee Central High School and being a part of a marching band.”

According to Principal Tonya Addison, “The program has really struggled, but the purchase of instruments in the last couple of years has turned things around, and we are now working with the high school to create a strong, comprehensive program.”

Billie Williamson, who has 42 years of experience as a band teacher, came out of retirement two years ago to lead the program and feels that it is providing an integral part that was lost over time. “Brian Moss has a wonderful program at the high school with the drum line and the color guard,” she said. “The missing piece is the instruments. We are hoping that the kids who take band here will have the opportunity to continue to do so at the high school.”

CONWAY — Approximately 1,100 students were graduation candidates for Coastal Carolina University’s commencement ceremonies on May 6 and 7 at the HTC Center on campus. Candidates for graduation included: Jecquea Brown of Olanta graduated with a bachelor of science in biology.

Sign the surfboard? Wedding guest books now take many forms

BY LISA A. FLAM The Associated Press Alexis and John Roulette don’t have to look far to remember the love that friends and relatives showered upon them on their wedding day. The 7-footlong surfboard mounted above their living room couch says it all.

In silver Sharpie, guests wrote messages of love, congratulations and advice on the board that the couple used as a guest book at their wedding in Huntington Beach, California, last summer.

“It’s a constant reminder of our special day and the love we had around us,” says Alexis Roulette, 30.

As weddings have become highly personalized, the guest book, too, has come a long way. What was once a traditional white bound book has become elaborate and creative, often taking the shape of

something that reflects the couple’s personalities or wedding theme.

“What it’s morphed into is more of a way of delivering messages and notes and keepsakes for the bride and groom, while at the same time it’s become more interactive and creative in its display,” says Darcy Miller, editor at large of Martha Stewart Weddings.

Guests might sign a giant wine bottle, a piece of sporting equipment, seashells or stones, maps, artwork or fabric squares that get stitched together to form a quilt.

Miller has seen a vintage typewriter displayed for guests to peck out messages, a dictionary in which guests circled words relevant to the couple and a globe on which guests signed near places they felt the couple should visit.

“If you love to ski, it’s signing vintage skis,” she says. “If you’re into boating

and the nautical theme, then it’s a buoy.”

Guests might snap an instant photo and leave it behind with a message, to be compiled in a scrapbook. Or a couple might offer a published book for guests to sign, Miller says, such as a book on birds for a nature-inspired event.

Because guest books are so individualized, they often become part of the couple’s home.

“It becomes personalized decor you live with,” Miller says. “These are no longer things getting stuck in a box and never looked at ever again.”

The Roulettes’ surfboard guest book fit the laidback feeling of their beachthemed wedding at Don The Beachcomber.

“It’s a really nice piece that I appreciate that we have and can admire,” Roulette says. “I like that we can see it every

day rather than a book. Any guest book, you normally put it away and won’t see it.”

Jane Kernen, a wedding planner with Austin Busy Brides in Texas, specializes in events held in nontraditional venues.

Most of her couples shy away from the traditional guest book, she says.

And while traditional guest books were often set out in church, her couples tend to display their alternative guest books during cocktails. “Couples want something for people to talk about and an activity during the cocktail hour,” she says.

The nontraditional sign-ins also help guests get to know the couple better.

Kernen once worked with a pair of pilots who were married in an airplane hangar; they asked guests to sign a propeller that was later hung over their mantel.

PANORAMA

SUNDAY, MAY 15, 2016

SPRING TOUR FROM PAGE C1 Other personalized features include a variety of statuary, whimsical as well as more classical types, and more than 55 hanging and wall baskets.

The statuary is usually tucked in a spot to greet one with a pleasant surprise. The hanging baskets have a special feature: They are lined with colorful coffee bean bags from South America rather than the traditional coconut liners. Each basket has a beautiful, one-of-a-kind flower grouping, and each is a study in color and design. In the front yard, free form island beds are lined with handcrafted, etched concrete edging. A few large native stones anchor the beds, and one bed features a Japanese pagoda situated near a lovely Japanese maple. Inside the beds, a variety of trees are planted to accentuate their shapes and colors.

Japanese maples, a weeping cherry, a flame maple, the eucalyptus tree, a weeping yaupon, crepe myrtles and a weeping spruce add interest and beauty. Outside the island beds, standalone trees such as an ash tree and a tulip poplar provide beauty and shade. Near the front door, the Knock Out® roses, a fountain and two camellias have been trained to hug the wall (espaliered).

Idle Lake and the vista become the clear focal point in the back yard as one walks along the side pathway, but quickly one’s eye is also drawn to all the features that Bryan and Beth have created.

Fountains, carefully placed statuary, sun and shade plants, birdhouses, staghorn ferns, an herb garden, cold-hardy banana trees, rhododendrons, a tulip poplar and a Koosa dogwood add beauty and interest to the home and garden.

THE SUMTER ITEM

features that make their lawn and garden a paradise for their family. They have built a rock koi pond, a picnic table that seats 15 persons, a fire pit area surrounded by five huge swings connected in the shape of a hexagon and a deck with a hot tub and a table with plenty of seating for family meals.

Among Janet’s many island beds, she has dozens of plant choices including daylilies, herbs and vegetables, black-eyed Susan, petunias, viburnums, moon flowers, salvia, ferns, peonies, milkweed, angel trumpets, wax begonias, ajuga and a gigantic elephant ear. Among these plants, Janet has placed 10 regular bird feeders, three hummingbird feeders and three birdbaths. Naturally, the Morlan family has plenty of opportunities for bird watching. Hanging on the side of the house is a living wreath Janet created with a variety of live plant pairings.

CLAUDIA AND MALCOLM RAINEY 502 Haynsworth St.

DAN AND MELANIE HANCOCK 39 Calhoun Drive RICHARD AND JANET MORLAN 685 Allison Brook Lane Richard and Janet built their home in 2013 on 13 acres in an area off Salterstown Road. As their house was being built, they began the task of building the gardens surrounding the home; therefore, in less than four years they have created extensive gardens surrounding their lovely new home. In addition, together with their nine grandchildren, Richard and Janet have created winding trails through their wooded areas that can be accessed by walking, using their golf cart and taking their four wheelers. Each trail is named for a grandchild, depending on the one who spent the most time helping to clear the trail.

To get to the Morlan home and property from Salterstown Road, one has to take a dirt road called Allison Brook Lane that bends around a couple of other homeowners’ properties before arriving at the Morlan property. The entry area is lined with 42 blueberry bushes, fig trees, concord and muscadine grape vines, raspberry bushes, a paulownia tree and a potato tower. In one area they have transported a large boulder that came from Janet’s mom, Marian Bjerken’s yard in Sumter. When Marian died, Janet transported the boulder to their yard.

Likewise, another island contains a vintage bicycle holding flower containers. The bicycle is placed to honor her friend Paula Cearley and her mother and also to remind Janet of her hobby of cycling long distance rides with the local Chain Gang bicycle club.

Many other garden beds and islands hold specialty plants with special family history. In Janet’s succulent bed, the hens and chicks are originals from Janet’s grandmother, Nellie Hoover, who years ago mailed the plants to her mother in a check book box. Likewise, a rose of Sharon, two wrought iron fences currently functioning as trellises, two toad houses, palms and a bench serve as reminders of Janet’s mother. A special memorial garden feature is the one for Len Hawthorne, Janet’s son, who died tragically 12 years ago at the age of 26.

The Morlans have created several hardscape

areas with wrought iron furniture. The larger of them is a circular design surrounded by two of the oldest pine trees in the city. It has also served well as a dance floor for wedding receptions.

These garden beds continue the plan of brick terracing with the added feature of latticed brick walls. These beds are also bordered with ivy and include boxwoods, azaleas, holly and several interesting species.

Dan and Melanie purchased their home in the fall of 1997 and moved in with their four children.

The original brick house was built by Dr. and Mrs. Wallis Cone in 1948. Margaret Cone loved a classic Southern garden. In 1962 when the Cones began extensive renovations to the house, she hired renowned landscape architect Robert E. Marvin to design the new garden.

Marvin was renowned for creating designs that celebrate the unique regionalism of the South Carolina Lowcountry. His many projects include the Governor’s Mansion in Columbia, Monarch at Sea Pines on Hilton Head, Chambers Waterfront Park in Beaufort, Glencairn Gardens in Rock Hill and Callaway Gardens in Georgia. He won the 2001 ASLA Medal for outstanding lifetime achievement, the highest honor given by the American Society of Landscape Architects.

The house’s theme of “rich in detail but also quite simple” inspires a gracious lifestyle. The property is anchored by a brick pathway that circles the house, providing comfortable access to all of the garden. The front entry has terraced brick beds featuring boxwoods and cleyera. The steps to the front door begin with a circular native slate platform leading up brick steps with black iron railings to the door’s slate landing.

The sides of the front yard have beds filled with azaleas bordered by ivy. These beds also have a Japanese Maple, tea olive and Margaret Cone’s favorite shrub, camellias, found throughout the garden. The driveway is lined by tall cleyera and crab apple trees. This leads to the less formal area of the garden that is defined by several large crepe myrtles and a traditional small potting shed. The back porch, both elegant and approachable, is designed for a family that enjoys entertaining.

“We want people to feel like they can just walk up and sit down with a glass of iced tea,” Melanie said.

The porch echoes the theme with slate flooring bordered by brick and a water fountain. It’s known as the “Breezeway” and provides cooling breezes for the covered porch. This porch is the heart of the outdoor entertaining area and is just right for soaking in the garden views. Brick pathways expand in the backyard to two large sitting

Claudia and Malcolm bought the mid-century modern ranch house (atomic ranch style) three and one half years ago knowing that they would need to re-landscape the entire yard. For Claudia, who has her master’s degree in landscape architecture and who also has many years in working with landscape design, the challenge was something the young working couple could take on despite their full-time job demands and their family obligations.

Costs of buying plants were not a real issue because Claudia also knew that she could use her knowledge and skills to propagate almost any plant or bush that she wanted for her landscape.

The Raineys first task was to remove and/or transplant almost all existing plants and bushes in the front and back of the house.

Claudia and Malcolm have agreed on two goals: First, they want to create a sense of privacy, and second, they want to create a low maintenance yard and garden that does not need to have a manicured look. In the front yard, Claudia has created a bed with curving lines that is filled with a mixture of wax myrtles, anise shrubs, pittosporum, azaleas, boxwoods, viburnums, live oaks, pine trees and dogwoods. As these shrubs and trees grow together, they will form a living fence that helps to reduce noise and give beauty to the area.

Closer to the house, Claudia and Malcolm have planted a variety of trees such as a bald cypress, two sweet bay magnolias, a pineapple guava, a Shumard oak, two Nellie Stevens and an ornamental cherry. Filler plants include muhly grass, loropetalum, gold mop cypress, cleyera, existing boxwoods, liriope and azaleas.

The backyard is where Claudia and Malcolm unleash their creative sides through gardening. In one area, they have both an herb and vegetable garden that is terraced on naturally sloping soil. To hold the soil and create the terrace, they have used concrete blocks to create rectangular-shaped areas to put the plants. The herb and vegetable garden also has many ornamental plants, including a native wisteria that grows near a satsuma orange, a fig tree and a loquat hedge that Claudia grew from “babies.”

Other plants and shrubs interspersed in this area are a butterfly bush, roses — original to the house — a weeping hackberry, Japanese maples, one of which Claudia has grown from a seed from the Clemson Botanical Garden. A Buckeye and big leaf magnolia are beginning to grow along with several upright, or pee gee hydrangeas.

Claudia has also begun to create a Japanese garden that will be visible from the dining room.

Always the artist, Claudia has undertaken an unusual task. She is using recycled lighting globe fixtures and turning them into containers and fountains that she will feature in the backyard. As we can see from the landscape in both the front and back yard, Claudia and Malcolm enjoy combining native and uncommon plants and trees.

Through the diversity of their plant choices, they have created both a unifying effect and an eye-appealing result.

Mystery plant thrives in vanishing wetlands

BY JOHN NELSON Curator, USC Herbarium Wetlands are natural habitats characterized by a lot of water — or maybe not so much, depending on a lot of things. They come in many varieties, and they provide a home for a huge array of plant and animal species.

Across North America, unfortunately, many kinds of wetlands are becoming increasingly rare, as they have commonly fallen victim to urbanization and landscape manipulation. Of course, when wetlands are sufficiently disturbed or destroyed, their resident plants and animals also suffer, commonly disappearing.

Perhaps you’ve heard: In the last three decades, more and more research has focused on the plight of wetlands and to efforts protecting them, these efforts offering a mixed bag of success. We would do well to make sure that legislation and public awareness remain to safeguard these precious habitats.

This week’s Mystery Plant

is always found in wetlands.

It occurs from New Jersey and Delaware south through Florida and west to eastern Texas. It seems to like the coastal plain most, although it is occasionally found in Piedmont environments. It’s a perennial, forming dense clumps. Soft, needle-like leaves are clustered at the base of a clump, which will produce several dozen elongated, flimsy flowering stems.

Each stem will have a single chalky, spherical head at the very top.

The heads contain many flowers, all very tiny, and collectively surrounded by bracts that are whitened, due to the presence of thousands of tiny white hairs. These heads are about the size of a nickel, maybe a bit larger, and they are very soft. Botanists noticed long ago that when making their pressed specimens of this plant, the heads would flatten out, and this has led to the plant’s scientific name.

Although the individual flowers are quite small, the heads themselves are promi-

nent and conspicuous, and this plant has earned a reputation as an attractive late spring wildflower. (GASP! It’s already late spring where I live!)

The plants many be found in a variety of wet, boggy habitats, including Carolina bays, cypress ponds, cedar bogs, savannas and sandhill seepages.

In a vigorous, healthy ecosystem, they may form huge patches, occurring by the thousands and producing quite a show, along with colorful orchids, sundews and pitcher plants.

The late Robert K. Godfrey, professor at Florida State University and one of the foremost botanists of the Southeast (and one of my teachers), wrote a charming tribute to this plant, “abundantly decorating the shallow waters of pinelands as to appear like a shower of white confetti.”

Godfrey’s monumental “Aquatic and Wetland Plants of the Southeastern United States” is still available from the University of Georgia Press.

Osteen Publishing launches digital agency Company offers free educational seminars to local business owners

BY RICK CARPENTER rick@theitem.com Discount Furniture Outlet General Manager Brad Beasley says he’s getting some sales off his website, www. outletfurniture.com, without much effort.

Now he wants to know strategies that he can use to maximize his sales opportunities on the site.

Beasley knows his way around a computer and that websites need to adapt to different platforms — from computer to tablet to smartphone.

And Discount Furniture Outlet has positioned itself as one of the top sites available when potential customers Google “furniture in Sumter.”

Now, he wants to ensure his site continues to stay at the top of that list while learning the latest and greatest ways to continue to connect to those potential customers.

Beasley will join one of three free seminars this week to learn how to reinvigorate his company’s digital strategy through the new Iris Digital Agency created by Osteen Publishing Co. to meet the growing needs in the tri-county area the newspaper serves.

Osteen Publishing created the agency to help local merchants leverage their digital products to improve their presence through their website and social media.

Jack Osteen, editor and publisher of The Sumter Item, owned by Osteen Publishing, said that while the newspaper continues to serve as a strong marketing tool for local businesses and services, the newspaper wants to expand its services by serving as a one-stop shop for all its customers’ marketing needs.

“We’ve always been very focused on producing results for our clients,” he said. “The launch of Iris Digital ensures

Osteen Publishing created The Iris Agency to help local business owners improve their online presence, including with social media. Three free seminars will help owners better understand new trends and digital opportunities to draw customers to their products.

we’ll be able to extend that tradition with a full suite of digital products that current and future clients really need.”

Osteen Publishing has selected Guarantee Digital, www.guaranteedigital.com, to provide support and help kick off the new agency. Guarantee Digital partners with many publishers in the Southeast and throughout the U.S. by working closely with digital specialists in each local

market. Guarantee Digital will partner with Osteen Publishing to present the seminars Wednesday from 11:45 to 1 p.m., with a free lunch, and on Thursday with a breakfast seminar from 8 to 9:15 a.m. and a lunch from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. All three seminars will be in City Centre, 25 N. Main St. During the educational seminars, merchants will learn the latest consumer trends and best practices in digital media that a variety of businesses are using to grow their businesses. All participants will receive a free digital audit and reputation report about their business.

Daryl Hively, CEO of Guarantee Digital, praised the Osteen Publishing team for realizing that many of its

long-standing clients needed assistance with digital marketing but weren’t sure who could help them and who had their best interests at heart.

“The programs that Iris Digital will offer will help merchants quickly improve their presence on sites like Google, Facebook and beyond,” Hively said.

As part of the new agency, Osteen Publishing hired Katie Shaw as a digital specialist with Iris Digital.

Shaw emphasizes that business owners are now realizing that creating and mainSHAW taining an online presence while also marketing through digital opportunities takes a lot of time away from

Shaw asks for feedback to gain contract bids

BY RICK CARPENTER rick@theitem.com The 20th Contracting Squadron of Shaw Air Force Base wants to involve more local companies in securing local contracts for projects such as HVAC repair, asbestos removal, lead-based paint removal, air compressor repairs, fire extinguisher inspections, audio visual system maintenance, vehicle repairs and even chapel musicians.

And right now, representatives want to understand what barriers exist that limit the number of possible local vendors that might bid on such contracts.

The 20th Contracting Squadron and Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce will host a seminar called “Contracting with the Government” on June 16 to help local business owners discover opportunities that are available for less than $5,000. Before that meeting, the squadron wants to gather information about how it can assist local businesses in overcoming challenges that have limited small business participation.

And it wants to encourage local businesses to get involved in the process.

Vince Pavkov, owner of Pavkov Construction Co., says there have been years when his company didn’t leave Shaw because of prime contracts the company had with the federal government. Obviously, it left the base daily, but Pavkov was referring to how his company’s sole business in those years was because of government contracts on the base.

Like many companies, Pavkov Construction started small as a sub-

contractor for prime contractors, the term the government uses for what civilians call general contractors.

Pavkov started by replacing 300 driveways and repairing a quarter mile of drainage.

But by focusing on learning the minutiae of Federal Acquisition Regulations, Pavkov has specialized in gaining governmental contracts for road and bridge infrastructure on government-owned real estate.

His contracts have ranged from $25,000 into the millions of dollars.

Although he’s located in Sumter, his contracts primarily involve structures for the Coast Guard for off-shore aids to navigation as well as pier and dock work.

But he’s recently completed work in New York City and Washington, D.C., where he won competitive bids.

Pavkov said it would have been beneficial for his company to know the regulations before bidding on projects. In fact, he recommends for those seeking larger contracts such as his to hire someone with extensive governmental contract knowledge. He even recommended someone who had previously worked in the government who has that knowledge.

At the $5,000 level, different regulations exist that might make working with the base more reasonable, he said.

To provide feedback to the 20th Contracting Squadron, send an email to thomas.sexton.4@us.af.mil or Randall May at randall.may@us. af.mil.

business owners, regardless of their size.

Iris Digital wants to take that burden off the owners, and Shaw said she will work with each customer to build a portfolio of products that match each client’s needs.

“We have developed a variety of options that bundle really well with our newspaper print advertising,” Shaw said.

“The synergy between the two platforms can be very effective in helping our clients zero in on their best prospects in print and online.”

Like Beasley said, he wants to know the latest trends that will help him take advantage of digital opportunities. Not knowing what he doesn’t know makes him wonder whether he’s leaving money on the table.

David McQuinn is seen in his office at MiTek, a construction and engineering firm, on Tuesday in Chesterfield, Missouri. McQuinn, 61, is retiring after 30 years with the suburban St. Louis company, a length of time with one employer that is unlikely to be achieved by many younger workers.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Poll: Age, benefits factor in staying with single employer CHICAGO (AP) — A new poll says more than 40 percent of America’s baby boomers stayed with their employer for more than 20 years.

But it’s unlikely that their children or grandchildren will experience the same job tenure.

The survey of more than 1,000 Americans 50 and older by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that 41 percent of those employed workers have spent two decades with the same company, including 18 percent who’ve stayed at least 30 years.

But it’s a trend more common among the older baby boomers than younger ones, and traditional pensions appear to be one of the driving factors. Among those who have had at least 20 years with a single employer, the survey found that about half are excited about retirement, but a third are anxious about their post-work lives.

David McQuinn, 61, is retiring Tuesday after 30 years with MiTek, a construction and engineering firm in suburban St. Louis. He says there were times he thought about leaving but he

liked his co-workers and his senior position and also owned stock in the company.

“I started working young and I’ve been a man in a hurry my whole life,” he says, “and now I’m in a hurry to not be in a hurry.”

His experience exemplifies a trait among boomers: more attachment to the company than the younger generations. But even among older Americans there’s a gap in employment tenure: Half of those aged 65 and up but only a third of those age 50 to 64 have stayed with the same employer for at least two decades.

The shift may be less about differences in attitude than changes in jobs — and benefits. About two-thirds of those who stayed with one employer for 20 or more years had a pension, according to the survey, compared with only a third of those who had never stayed that long with one employer.

Those defined benefit pension plans are slowly disappearing. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that only 18 percent of private workers were covered by these plans in 2011, down from 35 percent in the early 1990s.

Living the outdoor lifestyle

W

e probably take it for granted that we live in an area that offers so many things to do in the great outdoors. Hunting and fishing, camping and hiking and other outdoor pursuits are just a way of life here. We have Lake Marion, Sparkleberry Swamp, Manchester State Forest and many other natural areas. The countryside is a mix of farms and timberland. Larger towns and cities are within easy driving distance if you need an occasional, more civilized diversion.

I grew up in a small town.

We hunted and fished, camped out in the woods, rode horses and explored the dirt roads out in the countryside on our bikes. We enjoyed an innocence that may be all but gone now. I consider myself lucky to have grown up in this Eden.

In my childhood, people called this land “God’s country.” I think it still is.

It has always amused me that some people think that outdoor activities are a sport.

They are not. They are a way of life. A lifestyle that we choose. Baseball is a sport and football and basketball. They foster competition and require some athletic ability. I guess shooting could be considered a sport and tournament fishing and some others that involve competition. The outdoor lifestyle requires no competition.

I like to think that I live close to the land. I admire the wildflowers on the roadsides and the songbirds that come

to my backyard. My wife, Ginger, and I sit out on the front porch and admire the sunset when we can. You have to have the time — or more correctly, make the time. I Dan yearn to be Geddings outside breathing OUTDOORS the fresh air and feeling the sun. I treasure the view of the nighttime sky at our hunting lease.

There are no cellphone towers visible, no street lights intruding into the darkness, only the moon and untold numbers of stars overhead.

One of my friends, John Merkel, is from New Jersey.

He grew up and lived in the shadow of New York City.

After college, he moved here and married a local girl. His enthusiasm for the natural world and wild places is contagious. It is a whole new world to him, one that he has heartily embraced.

I lived in Colorado while in the Army, years ago. The nearby mountains were beautiful to look at, but the “front range” was arid. It was a high, dry desert. Dirt, rocks, cactus and tumble weed. There was no lush, green landscape. No lakes and rivers nearby. I missed my home turf.

My home turf is the upper coastal plain of Carolina. It is like no other place on earth.

Carolina bays dot the landscape. Pine forests cover the

land, and ribbons of hardwoods shade the drainages.

Farms, ponds and lakes have been carved out of the flatwoods and bottomlands. The people here are hardy and resilient. We have an attachment to this land and our outdoor lifestyle, even if we don’t know it or understand it.

The outdoors may not be the most important thing in your life. Shopping malls and amusement parks do have their place. I could survive and live without those things.

But I know that I could not live without the natural world and the things that the outdoors can provide.

I’m a hunter and a fisherman, but I’m also a naturalist, an aviculturist and an artist.

I’m a birder, a hiker, a historian and a writer. I’m all those things because I love the outdoors, the land and the people.

I’ve been fortunate to be able to write about my experiences in the outdoors and share my thoughts with you.

The things I do are typical pursuits and may be similar to the things that you do in the outdoors.

There are more people here now than when I grew up, and more will come. We will put a burden on the land. I hope we can keep some of the innocence and preserve and protect some of the natural world so that the outdoor lifestyle will live on.

5 sea turtles being released from South Carolina Aquarium ISLE OF PALMS (AP) — Five loggerhead sea turtles, including one originally thought to be blind, are being released after treatment at the South Carolina Aquarium in Charleston.

The release is being held Tuesday at the Isle of Palms County Park.

A turtle named Boyles was found in the Folly River almost two years ago. It was determined to be blind, but after cataract surgery and

therapy it can see well enough to find food.

A second turtle, Discovery, was caught in a trawl net last July and was badly underweight. A third turtle named Reece was found emaciated and mired in the sand on the South Carolina coast last July.

The other two turtles, named Chaz and Quincy, were treated after being stunned by the cold off New England last winter.

FISHING REPORTS Information on fishing trends provided courtesy of www.

AnglersHeadquarters.com, South Carolina’s premier fishing report source. Customers of the Angler’s Headquarters online tackle store have access to daily updates and fulllength reports on its site.

DHEC Fish Consumption Advisories: www.scdhec.gov/environment/water/fish Freshwater Report Santee Cooper 4/14 Bass: Good. Steve Harmon reports that a large group of fish are post-spawn, and another big wave should move up to spawn on the April full moon. Pre-spawn fish can be caught around shallow cover on soft plastics while post-spawn fish have pulled out slightly deeper.

Crappie: Good. Captain Steve English reports that crappie can be found in the shallows as well as around mid-depth brush where they will eat minnows.

Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Jim Glenn reports that the best catfish bite is coming in 20-30 feet of water on cut shad.

Striped Bass: Fair to good. Captain Jim Glenn/ Pack’s Landing reports that the striper spawn continues and fish are being caught in the top of the system on artificials, live herring and cut herring.

Bream: Fair to good. Captain Steve English reports that bluegill are staging in anticipation of the full moon, while a few shellcracker are already shallow.

Midlands Area Lake Wateree 4/24 Bass: Fair to good. Dearal Rodgers reports that bass at all three stages of the spawn can still be found on Lake Wateree, but the numbers are tilted heavily towards spawning and postspawn fish. The shad spawn is starting and spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and shallowrunning lures are catching fish.

Catfish: Very good to excellent. Captain Rodger Taylor (803-517-7828) reports that catfish are concentrated along the river channel in the upper one-third of the lake, where they will eat cut bait.

Crappie: Good. Will Hinson advises that a few straggler fish are still up shallow but most fish have pulled out to the middle of creeks where they will bite jigs fished at mid-depths.

Lake Greenwood 4/14 Bass: Good. Fish are up shallow on Lake Greenwood, and Stan Gunter advises that the biggest wave of bass should spawn on the April full moon. Topwater lures as well as floating worms will catch fish.

Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) says that catfish are biting well in the shallows on drifted cut bait.

Lake Monticello 4/14 Bass: Good. Andy Wicker reports that

another very good wave of fish should spawn on the April full moon. Soft plastics in the shallows work well for pre-spawn and spawning bass, and post-spawn fish will take topwater lures.

Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that catfish continue to be caught in 20-40 feet of water on small pieces of cut bait.

Lake Murray 4/29 Bass: Good. Captain Doug Lown reports that pre-spawn and spawning fish can still be found, but most bass anglers are now thinking about the blueback herring spawn. Early in the morning fish can be caught very shallow off points and later in the day they will drop deeper in the same areas.

Striper: Good. Lake World (803-9576548) reports that striper are also shallow around points, and they can be caught on free-lines, planer boards, and cut bait as well as artificial lures blind-casted.

Piedmont Area Lake Thurmond 4/27 Bass: Good. Buckeye Lures reports that some bass are bedding and a very few are still pre-spawn, but most bass fishermen are thinking about the blueback herring spawn. Bass are shallow around points chasing herring and they will take topwaters, flukes and soft plastics fished on the bottom.

Striper and Hybrids: Good to very good. Captain William Sasser (864-3332000) reports that striper are also hanging around shallow points and they will eat free-lined herring, cut bait and artificial lures.

Catfish: Good to very good. Captain William Sasser reports that this is peak catfish season on Clarks Hill and channels and flatheads can be caught around riprap on a Carolina-rigged piece of cut herring.

Shellcracker: Good. Captain William Sasser reports that shellcracker are spawning and can be caught shallow on nightcrawlers.

Crappie: Fair to good. Captain William Sasser reports that crappie are in the backs of creeks where they can be caught on minnows fished vertically.

Lake Wylie 4/28 Bass: Good. FLW angler Bryan New reports that the spawn is winding down on Lake Wylie, and with it the shallow bite is falling off. Shad are spawning but bass aren’t really keyed in on them yet, but fishing in deeper water with jigs, crankbaits and more is getting pretty hot.

Catfish: Good to very good. Captain Rodger Taylor (803-517-7828) reports that catches of medium to large blue catfish have been good, and flatheads are also starting to show up. The best pattern is fishing around river current with cut herring or white perch.

Lake Russell 4/13 Bass: Good. Guide Jerry Kotal (706-9880860) reports that largemouth at all three stages of the spawn can be caught on Russell, while spotted bass seem to be mostly pre-spawn. Both moving baits and soft plastics will catch fish in the shallows.

Crappie: Good. Guide Wendell Wilson (706-283-3336) reports that the better crappie have now spawned, but the bulk of the fish are still in relatively shallow water where they can be caught on minnows and jigs.

Striped Bass: Fair. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that good numbers of striper are mid-way up the rivers, and they will take live herring presented on free lines and planer boards.

Catfish: Fair. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that catfish can be caught around rip-rap on cut herring.

Mountains Area Lake Hartwell 4/26 Bass: Fair. Guide Brad Fowler reports that weights have been a little down in recent tournaments, but bass are feeding shallow around spawning blueback herring. They will eat a variety of lures on the top, middle and bottom of the water column, and bass are also still spawning.

Striped Bass: Good. Captain Bill Plumley (864-287-2120) reports that stripers are being caught around points across the lake. Anchoring with live bait as well as variety of other techniques will catch fish.

Catfish: Good. Captain Bill Plumley reports that channel and blue catfish are both feeding well in 2-20 feet of water.

Crappie: Slow. Captain Bill Plumley reports that crappie are showing up again around bridges and brush where they can be caught at night on minnows.

Lake Keowee 5/5 Bass: Good. Guide Brad Fowler reports that there are still spawning fish on Lake Keowee, particularly on the northern end of the lake. There is also a good topwater bite for post-spawn fish in the morning, and after that fish will take soft plastics in 15-30 feet.

Lake Jocassee 3/17 Trout: Fair to good. Guide Sam Jones (864-280-9056) reports that while they are not wearing out the fish right now, some decent trout are being caught on Lake Jocassee. In the past week or so his boat has caught three fish over 5 pounds as well as plenty of fish in the 3-4 pound range. There are also plenty of sublegal stocker-sized fish to be caught. Fish are highly scattered out, and anglers are catching fish around pretty much all of their normal spots.

Sam says it’s rare to hear of someone fishing in their preferred area where they have confidence and not catching fish.

Beekeeper Roger Garrison, left, and hotel general manager Michael Pace look over beehives on top of the Clift Hotel in San Francisco in April. At least seven San Francisco hotels have built rooftop beehives that produce honey for food, cocktails and spa products. Convention and tourist hotels from Union Square to Fisherman’s Wharf say they’re doing their small part to combat worldwide honeybee colony collapse.

Hotels build buzz for ecology efforts with rooftop beehives SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — At the Clift Hotel in San Francisco, there are more than 370 rooms inside and hundreds of thousands of bees buzzing above in rooftop hives outside.

Yes, honeybees.

Aware of the well-publicized environmental threats to honeybees that have reduced numbers worldwide, seven San Francisco hotels have built hives on their rooftops. The sustainability effort also benefits the hotels as the bees produce honey for cocktails, food and spa treatments. It’s the latest in a series of environmental programs at hotels that includes low-flow toilets and aggressive recycling programs.

“This is not about making money, it’s really about raising awareness about sustainability,” said Melissa Farrar, spokeswoman at the Fairmont in San Francisco. “There’s not one solution so we wanted to do our part to help. It’s part of the bigger effort for helping the planet.”

Farrar said the four hives on the rooftop garden support about 250,000 bees and produce about 1,000 pounds of honey each year.

In this foodie city, the honey is used in such things as the Clift’s The Peerless Purple drink with gin-infused lavender, honey syrup and lavender bitters, and their compressed watermelon salad with lavender-infused honey and goat cheese. Honey is used in beer at the Fairmont Hotel, and the jars of the product are sold in the gift shop. At the W, they make honey ice

cream.

The bee hives at hotels are not new, but the effort is growing every year.

Fairmont’s first beehives were built in 2008 at the company’s hotels in Toronto and in Vancouver in an effort to help combat Colony Collapse Disorder. Since then, dozens have been installed at Fairmonts from Seattle to China and Africa.

At the Clift, high above the city on the rooftop garden, 10 hives are buzzing with activity. Most guests don’t even know they are there. But the fruits of their labor are evident in the cocktails and food. You won’t find the squeezable honey bear container in Chef Thomas Weibull’s kitchen.

“Since we are chefs in California, we like to use a lot of things that are local,” he said, talking about his pork adobo appetizer with a honey glaze. “Ninety five percent of our products are local and sustainable.”

The bees are on track to produce more than 70 pounds of honey per hive by this summer. The colony is expected to grow at least 800,000 by next year, said General Manager Michael Pace.

His interest in bee hotels started last year when he took on the job of chairman of the Sustainability Committee for the Hotel Council of San Francisco.

He spearheaded a larger effort between numerous local hotels to put bees on their rooftops as well.

There are now seven hotels from Nob Hill to Fisherman’s Wharf with rooftop hives.
