8th Memorial Day Celebration and Fish Fry salutes veterans BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com All Sumter veterans will be honored Monday during the 8th Annual Memorial Day Celebration and Fish Fry at South Sumter Park. The event was started eight years ago by City Councilman Calvin Hastie, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and a former instructor at West Point. Since 2009, the number of participants has increased each year for the program that began as a neighborhood event, said Patty Wilson, spokeswoman for the Veterans Appreciation Committee, which now sponsors the program with Hastie and Neighborhood Watch associations. “We had more than 1,000 last year,” Wilson said, “and we expect to have even more

this year.” The 2 to 4 p.m. celebration at the park on the corner of South Sumter Street and Atlantic Avenue will begin with a brief address by U.S. Army veteran Jim Felder, head of the South Carolina Voter Education Project and a former state representative. Al Spencer, commander of VFW Post 10813, will give a special tribute to POW/MIAs. After Felder and Spencer will be special guest U.S. Rep. Tim Scott, R-S.C. Several members of the local legislative delegation are also expected to attend. “The celebration caters to veterans and senior citizens,” Wilson said. “So many veterans come each year. Last year, we had more than 200 and even some family members of World War I veterans.”

U.S. Rep. Tim Scott will be the guest speaker at Monday’s Memorial Day Celebration and Fish Fry at South Sumter Park. She said the 2015 event was the largest. “We invite veterans and their families especially, as well as members of the public,” Wilson emphasized. After the brief program, she said, “everyone, veterans first, is invited to enjoy fried fish, hot dogs, hamburgers, French fries and cold beverages.”

As if to announce the approach of the official Atlantic Hurricane Season, a weather system between Bermuda and the Bahamas may bring significant rains to the Sumter area during the next few days, according to National Weather Service Meteorologist Mike Proud in Columbia. “Right now it is just a disorganized area of cloudiness,” Proud said Friday afternoon. “They have one of the hurricane hunter airplanes out doing a survey of that area today.” Proud said the system has a 90 percent chance of forming into a tropical system. “The track brings it to South Carolina but there is not a lot of intensification expected before it

comes into the state this weekend,” he said. Proud said forecasters are not concerned about winds, but are concerned for the potential of heavy rains from the slow moving system. “Rains could move into the Sumter area midday Saturday and then rain off and on Sunday and Monday,” he said. “At this point, there is some indecision between the models as to when it is going to move on (out of the area). It could be Monday or Tuesday.” An outlook for the hurricane season released Friday by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association said forecasters expect a near-normal Atlantic hurricane season, after three relatively slow years. However, they cautioned that climate conditions are

Sumter Red Cross office looking forward to future South Carolina. Nancy Cataldo, American Red Cross service to armed forces and international services officer, said the local office moved to its Miller Road location on March 10. “It’s nice to have a desk again,” she said. She said the new location will provide awesome opportunities for both the organization and USC Sumter through partnerships and volunteer programs. USC Sumter has been absolutely wonderful hosts, she added. Cataldo hopes to take advantage of the new location and recruit more interns as well as volunteers for Sumter Red Cross’s International Services and Veteran Resiliency programs. The International Services program helps reunite family members who have been separated because of civil unrest or disasters, she said.

BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com Sumter’s American Red Cross office is continuing its normal operations as well as looking forward to future projects as the group settles into its new home at the Arts and Letters Building on University of South Carolina Sumter’s campus. The Sumter office was temporarily stationed at First Baptist Church on East Liberty Street after its building on North Guignard Drive was damaged during the 1,000-year-flood in October 2015. Although the local Red Cross group was displaced after the flood, the group stayed busy and assisted more than 200 people in Sumter, Clarendon, Lee and Kershaw counties since January, according to a news release from American Red Cross of Central

The Sumter office helped reconnect a father in Republic of Congo to his son who happened to be a USC Sumter student after being apart for about 10 years, Cataldo said. “It was a really neat case to work,” Cataldo said. The Veteran Resiliency program offers communication courses for active duty and veteran military personnel and their families free of charge. The courses teach clear communication between family members, ways to manage anger, ways to identify depression and how to cope with stress and trauma. The program also offers similar courses specifically for children ages 8-12 and 12-18. Cataldo said the courses are offered on a on-demand basis. For more information about how to get involved with the International Services or Veteran Resiliency pro-

grams, contact Sumter Red Cross at (803) 775-2363. Cataldo said the office is also looking for more case workers and disaster volunteers, especially with hurricane season coming up. The Sumter office will hold its next volunteer training from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on June 21 at the USC Sumter Arts and Letters Building, 200 Miller Road. No registration is required. The local Red Cross office will also have a blood drive from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 24 in the Arts and Letters banquet hall. Cataldo said the office hopes to hold monthly blood drives. Staff from the office’s former blood center will be working at the blood drive, she said. Those who wish to donate can sign up by calling the office at (803) 7752363 or online at www.redcross.org.

Commission recommends rezoning of downtown block BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com During its meeting on Wednesday, Sumter City and County Planning Commission recommended approval of a request to rezone a block downtown for the intended construction of a new City of Sumter Water Department administration building. City of Sumter requested that six of eight lots that comprise the block of East Bartlette, South Harvin and South Main streets and East Oakland Avenue be rezoned from general com-

mercial and light industrial-warehouse to central business district. According to a planning department staff report, the city intends to construct an administration building for City of Sumter Water Department on the site and redevelop the frontage along North Main Street. The report also states the city is working to acquire the remaining two lots on the block. Sumter City Council will consider first reading of the rezoning request during its meeting on June 21. The planning commission also rec-

ommended approval of a major site plan for a 5,000-square-foot church on an 8.31-acre parcel at 435 Rast St. for Harvest Reapers Church and Ministries. Based on the site plan, the church will seat 275 and will have 86 paved parking spaces — 82 standard and four handicap accessible. According to a staff report, a church of this size is estimated to generate approximately 167 peak hour vehicle trips on Sundays. The report also states the area where the church will be located is

designated for suburban development, which encourages a variety of uses in close proximity. Also, the parcel is zoned general commercial where religious organizations are permitted as conditional uses. Also, the planning commission recommended approval of: • A request to rename Radical Road, located off of Mims Road, to Reedroman Road; and • An ordinance text amendment for lifetime family transfer relationship approvals that will go to Sumter County Council for first reading on June 1.

National Memorial Day Concert airs Sunday BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH A&E launches a new wrinkle in its long-running nonfiction series. “The First 48: Gangland” (9 p.m. Saturday, TV-14) explores efforts to obtain evidence in a timely basis in gang-related murders. As we’ve been repeatedly told, cases not solved or seriously addressed in the first two days have a greater incidence of going cold or remaining unsolved. First up: A father shot at an abandoned Atlanta car wash and a Gulf War veteran shot down in the park may have been the victims of gangrelated violence. • The proliferation of nonfiction “crime” shows now enters the animal kingdom. “9-1-1 Encounters” (8 p.m. Saturday, Animal Planet, TVPG) shares footage of emergency situations involving creatures great and small. We have an escaped tiger, the unexplained descent of dead birds from the sky, a hiker on the receiving end of rampaging coyotes and a chimp’s reception from a suburban crowd. They didn’t exactly roll out the welcome wagon! • A young girl (Kathryn Newton) fears that her ex-boyfriend is sending her threatening messages, but gets even more freaked out when the ominous signals follow her home, over a distance of 3,000 miles, in the 2016 shocker “The Maid” (8 p.m. Saturday, Lifetime). • ABC uses the sleepy Saturday before Memorial Day to repeat the compelling and entertaining 2016 biopic “Madoff” (9 p.m., TV-PG). In what could be one of the signature performances of his career, Richard Dreyfuss captures the essence of financial swindler Bernard Madoff. In fact, Dreyfuss captures several versions of Madoff, or at least the faces he turned to the world. And throughout this great double, or triple, performance, Dreyfuss also narrates “Madoff,” giving viewers an inside look at his own thinking, his strategies and techniques. During a scene involving an investigation or negotiation, Madoff the narrator tells us exactly how he bluffs to get over on his clients, his colleagues and family and finally the federal Securities and Exchange Commission. A great cast includes Blythe Danner as Madoff ’s wife, Ruth. Michael Rispoli (“The Sopranos”) is Frank DiPascali, the computer wizard at the heart of Madoff ’s scams, and

SUNDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS

CAPITAL CONCERTS / PBS MAESTRO

Jack Everly will lead the National Symphony during the 27th annual broadcast of the National Memorial Day Concert airing at 8 and 9:30 p.m. Sunday on PBS. Charles Grodin and Lewis Black play heavyweight investors. ABC will air the second part of “Madoff ” next Saturday night. • Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna host the 27th broadcast of the National Memorial Day Concert (8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Sunday, PBS, TV-PG, check local listings). Talent and presenters include Renee Fleming, The Beach Boys and Trent Harmon and Katharine McPhee of “American Idol” fame. Jack Everly will conduct the National Symphony Orchestra. The Beach Boys have been around long enough to go in and out of style more than once. While it’s not entirely clear why a group associated with a philosophy of “fun, fun, fun” is playing on a solemn day, the ever-touring band has branded itself as American as apple pie, hot dogs, a day at the beach, you name it. While some musical acts from the 1960s were associated with the social and cultural tumult of the era, The Beach Boys always seemed about as edgy as “Little Surfer Girl.” Their band’s reputation has endured in spite of Brian Wilson’s many emotional and psychological issues and Dennis Wilson’s self-destructive tendencies, which included a curious relationship with Charles Manson and his homicidal cult. The Beach Boys’ biggest brush with public controversy may have revived the group’s career. Scheduled to play an annual Independence Day event at the National

Mall in Washington, D.C., in 1983, the group was banned by Interior Secretary James Watt, who decided that “rock bands” brought “the wrong element” to such festivities. Watt had The Beach Boys replaced with Wayne Newton. Watt faced endless grief for his decision, particularly when it was announced that his boss, President Ronald Reagan, and first lady Nancy Reagan were fans of The Beach Boys. Dennis Wilson died in 1983, Carl Wilson in 1998. Brian Wilson has drifted in and out of association with the band and will not be part of the Memorial Day performance. Mike Love, an original band member, will appear, along with Bruce Johnston, who joined the band in 1965. The Beach Boys’ “Endless Summer” of “Surfin’ Safari” has been in progress since 1961. For the record, Wayne Newton will be performing Sunday night as well. At a casino in Las Vegas.

6 road-trip apps to make the miles fly by coast and Kansas’ Wetlands and Wildlife National Scenic Byway .

TEXARKANA, Ark. (AP) — Hitting the road this summer? Forget Yelp and those hotel booking apps — they’re useful, but boring. Instead, pack along these apps to liven things up along the way. You might even learn something.

DISTRACTING THE KIDS

DISCOVER THE QUIRKY Consult Roadside America’s database of offbeat tourist attractions, and you could marvel at a giant map of Chicago painted on a skyscraper or visit the post office that straddles Texarkana, Arkansas, and Texarkana, Texas. The iPhone app costs $3 and lets you unlocks one geographic “region” out of seven across the U.S. and Canada. Pay $2 apiece for more, or an additional $6 for all of them — a better deal if you travel a lot. A companion iPhone app, Roadside Presidents, focuses on birthplaces, graves and other sites related to the nation’s commanders-in-chief. There’s Mount Rushmore, of course, but the $3 app can also lead you to the New York site where George Washington took the presidential oath or an eatery Barack Obama visited in Boulder, Colorado.

LEARN SOMETHING As you make your way across the U.S., History Here, produced by the History Channel, will alert you about nearby places where interesting things happened. That can be serious, such as the Rodney King trial in Simi Valley, California, which led to rioting in Los Angeles after the acquittal of four white police officers charged with beating a black motorist. For something lighter, how about

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Roadside Presidents smartphone app directs people to the statue of George Washington on the steps of the Federal Hall National Monument in New York’s Financial District on Tuesday. Heading out for a holiday weekend road trip? There are a number of apps available to entertain and educate along the way. the New York apartment where baseball legend Mickey Mantle lived? The free app sends location-based notifications to iPhones and Apple Watch. There’s an app for Android, but you must open it to see what’s nearby.

ARE THEY HERE YET? Folks you’re visiting can track you with Glympse for iPhones, Android and Windows phones. The free app sends your friend or relative a Web link to track your whereabouts. That person doesn’t need the app. By default, your location is shared for a half hour, but you can make that longer or shorter.

The iPhone’s Find My Friends feature does something similar, but sharing is continuous. Glympse lets you choose with whom and when to share and for how long.

THE SLOWER WAY THERE The best route isn’t always the quickest, something mapping apps don’t understand. For scenic drives, visit http://myscenicdrives.com. There’s no app, so you can use this free service on Windows and BlackBerry phones as well as more common iPhones and Androids. Enter your city or ZIP code to see what’s nearby or just search by state for gems such as California’s Big Sur

Search the app store, and you’ll find lots of apps devoted to classic roadtrip games, such as who can find the most out-of-state license plates. The $2 Family Car Games app for iPhones gives you more than a hundred options searchable by difficulty level and categories, such as singing. Most of the games aren’t directly related to travel but will help pass the time until your next rest stop. The travel-related ones include spotting those license plates and trying to find words on billboards starting with each letter of the alphabet. The nice thing is these games aren’t meant to be played on your phone. Once you look up a game, you can put the phone away and just hang with your travel companions.

WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE WE? The GeoGuessr app isn’t so helpful while traveling, but it’s great for seeing what you’ve observed and discovered along the way. It shows you a Google Street View image of some location in the world. You then navigate for clues from road signs or vegetation, then guess where you are. Play alone or challenge friends. The iPhone app is free, but make sure you don’t spell it “GeoGuesser,” or you’ll get a similar game that costs $2. You can pay to focus the game on specific countries or cities. To avoid paying or to use other phones, visit http://geoguessr.com. Warning: GeoGuessr is addictive, especially on a lazy Sunday afternoon at the bar.

Past, present connect in Martini’s new ‘Blood Flag’ BY JEFF AYERS The Associated Press “Blood Flag,” the latest Steve Martini legal thriller featuring attorney Paul Madriani and his partner, Harry Hinds, starts with what seems to be a simple case but soon escalates into a scenario with international ramifications. Emma Brauer’s father, Rob-

ert Bauer, was 89 and in ill health. The police think she killed him to ease his suffering — and also insure she wasn’t removed from his will. Emma denies all the accusations and hopes Madriani can prove her innocence. Madriani asks Sofia, his new legal assistant, to look into a mysterious package consisting of a slip of paper

and a key that was left at Robert’s house shortly before he died. He waits on Monday morning for her to come into the office with her report, but she doesn’t arrive. He then gets the call that Sofia’s body has been found near Robert’s house. The package has ties to the time when Robert was in the military. At the end of World

War II, Robert and his team were stationed in Munich. Madriani figures out members of the unit have all died under odd circumstances, and it might be because of the search for a “Blood Flag,” a Nazi flag used by Hitler. Martini knows how to craft suspenseful and twist-filled legal thrillers, and Paul Madriani is a modern-day

Perry Mason with his pursuit of the truth. However, it’s baffling why Martini feels that escalating the stakes to almost absurd levels with world-shattering consequences is necessary since the tight and personal stories are so juicy. That aside, this is still one of the better mysteries in the Madriani series.

Teen’s friendship draws fire from parents DEAR ABBY— My 18-yearold daughter, a junior in high school, is still living at home. She has beDear Abby friended a ABIGAIL 51-year-old man at her VAN BUREN first job (a burger place). We have told her that although she is kind to be friendly with him at work, we feel it’s inappropriate to do things with him outside of work. She’s now upset with us and claims we “don’t understand,” “nothing romantic is going on” and she thinks of him like a “second father.”

JUMBLE THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME By David L Hoyt and Jeff Knurek

Although they have not gotten together yet outside of work, she announced last weekend that she was going to meet him for lunch. We put our foot down and told her no way, and she was forbidden to borrow either of our vehicles to go. (She doesn’t have her own car yet.) She relented, but how can we convince her that this is a bad idea with the world the way it is nowadays? I have suggested to her father (with whom my daughter has a close relationship) that he speak to this man one on one. My husband feels this is something she has to learn for herself. She’s very naive. What do you think? Mom of a teen

Obama uses Hiroshima visit to urge no nukes BY NANCY BENAC AND FOSTER KLUG The Associated Press HIROSHIMA, Japan — With an unflinching look back at a painful history, President Obama stood on the hallowed ground of Hiroshima on Friday and declared it a fitting place to summon people everywhere to embrace the vision of a world without nuclear weapons. As the first American president to visit the city where the U.S. dropped the first atomic bomb, Obama came to acknowledge — but not apologize for — an act many Americans see as a justified end to a brutal war that Japan started with a sneak attack at Pearl Harbor. Some 140,000 people died after a U.S. warplane targeted wartime Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, and 70,000 more perished in Nagasaki, where a second bomb was dropped three days later. Japan soon surrendered. “Their souls speak to us,” Obama said of the dead. “They ask us to look inward, to take stock of who we are and who we might become.” With a lofty speech and a warm embrace for an elderly survivor, Obama renewed the call for a nuclear-free future that he had first laid out in a 2009 speech in Prague. This time, Obama spoke as a far more experienced president than the one who had employed his upbeat “Yes, we can” campaign slogan on the first go-round. The president, who has made uneven progress on his nuclear agenda during the past seven years, spoke of “the courage to escape the logic of fear” as he held out hope for diligent, incremental steps to reduce nuclear stockpiles. “We may not realize this goal in my lifetime, but persistent effort can roll back the possibility of catastrophe,” he said. Obama spent less than two hours in Hiroshima but seemed to accomplish what he came for. It was a choreographed performance meant to close old wounds without inflaming new passions on a subject still fraught after all these years. In a solemn ceremony, Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe placed wreaths before the cenotaph, a simple arched stone monument at Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park. Only the clicking of camera shutters intruded on the moment as Obama

U.S. President Obama, above right, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe shake hands after laying wreaths at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima, western Japan, on Friday. Left, Obama hugs Shigeaki Mori, an atomic bomb survivor and creator of the memorial for American WWII POWs killed at Hiroshima during the ceremony. On Friday, Obama became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the site of the world’s first atomic bomb attack, bringing global attention both to survivors and to his unfulfilled vision of a world without nuclear weapons. closed his eyes and briefly bowed his head. Then, after each leader gave brief remark, Obama approached two aging survivors of the bombing who were seated in the front row, standing in for the thousands still seared by memories of that day. Ninety-one-year-old Sunao Tsuboi, the head of a survivors group, energetically engaged the president in conversation, telling Obama he would be remembered as someone who listened to the voice of a few survivors.

He urged him to come back and meet more. “He was holding my hands until the end,” Tsuboi said. “I was almost about to ask him to stop holding my hands, but he wouldn’t.” Obama stepped over to meet historian Shigeaki Mori. Just 8 when the bomb hit, Mori had to hold back tears at the emotion of the moment. Obama patted him on the back and wrapped him in a warm embrace. From there, Obama and Abe walked along a tree-lined path toward a river that flows by the iconic A-bomb

dome, the skeletal remains of an exhibition hall that stands as silent testimony to the awful power of the bomb blast 71 years ago and as a symbol for international peace. Abe welcomed the president’s message and offered his own determination “to realize a world free of nuclear weapons, no matter how long or how difficult the road will be.” Obama received a Nobel Peace Prize early in his presidency for his anti-nuclear agenda but has seen uneven progress. The president can point to last year’s Iran nuclear deal and a weapons treaty with Russia. But North Korea’s nuclear program still looms as a threat and hopes for a pact for further weapons reductions with Russia have stalled. Critics also fault the administration for planning a big and costly program to upgrade U.S. nuclear stockpiles. Just as Obama had delicate sensitivities to manage in Hiroshima, so too did Abe. The Japanese leader made a point to dismiss any suggestion that he pay a reciprocal visit to Pearl Harbor. Abe did not rule out coming to Hawaii someday, but clearly wanted to avoid any notion of moral equivalence. In Japan, Pearl Harbor is not seen as a parallel for the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki but as an attack on a military installation that did not target civilians. Bomb survivor Kinuyo Ikegami, 82 paid her own respects at the cenotaph early Friday, before the politicians arrived. “I could hear schoolchildren screaming: ‘Help me! Help me!’” she said, tears running down her face. “It was too pitiful, too horrible. Even now it fills me with emotion.” Obama went out of his way, in speaking of the dead to mention that thousands of Koreans and a dozen American prisoners were among those who died. It was a nod to advocates for both groups who had publicly warned the president not to forget about them in Hiroshima. In a brief visit to the museum at the peace park, Obama visited a display about a young girl who survived the bombing but died several years later of leukemia. She folded paper cranes in the hospital until she died and is the inspiration for the story of Sadako and the thousand cranes.

Long missing frog, turtle species making return to Yosemite FRESNO, Calif. — A type of frog made famous by Mark Twain will soon be hopping and swimming through California’s Yosemite National Park after a decades-long absence, officials said Wednesday. The California red-legged frog, named for its colorful legs and belly, vanished from the park more than 40 years ago. It is the type of frog featured in Twain’s short story “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.” Western pond turtles — missing from most of the park for 50 years — are also being reintroduced to Yosemite, both under a partnership with the San Francisco Zoo & Gardens, officials announced. “This is a landmark event for Yosemite National Park and a historic opportunity,” said the park’s Superinten-

dent Don Neubacher. The zoo has begun nurturing frogs in a permanent breeding center. Officials say they already released 2,000 tadpoles in March. During the next three years, thousands of tadpoles and adult frogs from the center will be transported 200 miles to be set free in the park’s lush meadows, alpine lakes and winding Merced River. The frog disappeared from Yosemite in part because non-native, predatory bullfrogs first introduced to a reflection pond spread throughout the valley and gobbled them up, officials said. The insatiable bullfrogs have since been eradicated from the park, clearing the way for the red-legged frog’s return, said Rob Grasso, an aquatic ecologist at Yosemite who spearheaded the project. “Now that they’ve been removed, we know the red-

SENTENCED FROM PAGE A1 minor between the ages of 11 and 14 and six counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct for the incidents that took place at the church. Sumter County Sheriff’s Office charged DuRant with two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct for the acts committed in his home. According to earlier reports from Sumter law enforcement, the victims and their family members told investigators DuRant claimed his reasons for the inappropriate acts were part of a private prayer and healing process. During a bond hearing in 2013 regarding DuRant’s sexual assault charges, Sumter Po-

lice Detective Natalie Kelly told Magistrate George R. Gibson that the defendant told the girls the sexual acts would protect them from cancer and sexually transmitted diseases. Kelly also told Judge Gibson that DuRant told one of the victims that God gave him permission to touch her in order to give her blessings. According to the office of South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, the testimonies of the victims, ranging in age from 13 to 18, were extremely compelling during the trial and helped lead to DuRant’s conviction. The attorney general’s office stated the victims were able to identify a skin pig-

legged frog will do well,” he said. Red-legged frogs grow to 2 to 5 inches long. They are the largest native frogs in the West — known for communicating in short, soft grunts — and listed as a federally threatened species. Hundreds of adult Western pond turtles will be moved to Yosemite Valley in the next few years. The first 10 will be released in June, fitted with radio transmitters to track them and discover their preferred habitat. The turtles can grow to seven inches long, and park visitors may see them basking on logs or rocks. Some of the turtles still have been found in the remote Hetch Hechy area of Yosemite but not on the valley floor. Federal authorities are considering whether to give the turtles in California protection under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Park officials cite a num-

mentation on the genitalia of the defendant to solidify their stories. DuRant did not testify during the trial. The case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Kinli Abee and Assistant Attorney General David Fernandez. Other charges against DuRant are still pending.

EVERY DAY

ber of mismanagement practices during the past century that may have caused both species to vanish. Rangers clearing fallen trees and other debris from the Merced River’s banks in the past may have inadvertently removed critical habitat, officials acknowledged. But rangers say improved practices have restored park conditions for both the turtle and frog to thrive. Officials said an abundant raccoon population may also have preyed on the turtles and frogs. This is the latest effort to restore native animals to Yo-

semite National Park. State wildlife officials in 2014 reintroduced bighorn sheep to Yosemite’s backcountry after overhunting and disease spread by domesticated sheep herds wiped them out. “Maintaining the natural balance of biodiversity in the park is important to its long-term well-being and to sustaining opportunities for visitors to experience the park as nature intended,” said Frank Dean, president of the Yosemite Conservancy, which has contributed $540,000 to the park’s aquatic animals.

In addition to games and a bounce house, the committee expects to offer attended horseback rides. “Veterans will be served at their tables by community volunteers,” Wilson said.

LOUISE ANDERSON Louise “Weezy” Scott Anderson, 64, departed this life on Tuesday, May 24, 2016, at Presbyterian Hospital in Huntersville, North Carolina, with family members by her side. Louise was born on Nov. 24, 1951, in Sumter to the late Deacon David Sr. and Flossie Oliver Scott. She was the wife of the late Tommie Lee Anderson. She was also preceded in death by three brothers, David Jr., Thomas and Joseph Scott; one sister, Juanita Scott; and her close friend/ sister Betty Geddis. Being raised in a Christian home, she accepted Christ at an early age and joined Trinity Baptist Church in Sumter. Louise received her formal education in the public schools of Sumter and was a 1970 graduate of Lincoln High School.

To cherish her memories, she leaves: two daughters, Leketia Rochelle Sander and Shawna R. Montgomery; two

making it difficult to predict how many hurricanes and tropical storms will arise during the next six months. The NOAA outlook calls for 10 to 16 named storms, with four to eight hurricanes and one to four “major” ones with winds reaching 111 mph and higher. The long-term season averages are 12 named storms, with six hurricanes and three major ones. The Atlantic hurricane season officially starts Wednesday, but tropical weather got a head-start this year: Hurricane Alex made an unseasonable debut in January over the far eastern Atlantic. While they can’t predict whether any storm will strike the U.S., more tropical storms are expected than in the last three years, NOAA officials said. It’s unclear whether a decadeslong high-activity era for Atlantic hurricanes has ended, said Gerry Bell, the lead seasonal hurricane forecaster with NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. Meanwhile, an El Niño pattern in the Pacific is dissipating while La Niña looms for the hurricane season’s peak from August through October. El Niño is the natural warming of parts of the Pacific Ocean that changes weather worldwide. That tends to reduce hurricane activity in the Atlantic, while La Niña tends to increase it. Bell said the active storm era associated with warm Atlantic temperatures and stronger West African monsoons began in 1995, but recent hurricane seasons showed shifts toward a cooler phase marked by colder waters and a weaker monsoon. Each era can last 25 to 40 years, and it might take years to determine whether the transition has

Interment will follow in the Bradford Cemetery. The family will be receiving family and friends at 236 Keels Road, on Monday evening and after services on Tuesday.

LEEVONE FELDER Leevone “Disco Lee” Felder was born to Emma Jane Heyward Felder and the late Charlie Jr. Felder on May 6, 1963, in Sumter County.

He was currently employed with Caterpillar as a finisher. He also worked for Pilgrim Pride for three years in the packing department. During his spare time, he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and listening to music.

‘Rains could move into the Sumter area midday Saturday and then rain off and on Sunday and Monday. At this point, there is some indecision between the models as to when it is going to move on (out of the area). It could be Monday or Tuesday.’ MIKE PROUD Columbia meteorologist with National Weather Service happened, Bell said. The 2015 season was slightly below average with 11 named storms, including two tropical storms that made landfall and caused flooding in South Carolina and Texas. Hurricane Joaquin, one of two storms to reach major hurricane strength, killed all 33 mariners aboard a cargo ship that sank off the Bahamas in October. Even “minor” storms can leave misery behind. After Tropical Storm Erika swept through the Caribbean last year, damage estimates on the island of Dominica ranged as much as $500 million for homes, roads, bridges and infrastructure, and Puerto Rico reported $17.4 million in agricultural losses for plantains, bananas and coffee.

Second Annual Diamond Stackz Classic gives scholarship to local basketball player in memory of Erick White

Clemson tops Cards 5-3 in ACC tourney

SUMTER ITEM FILE PHOTO

Former Sumter High School basketball player Erick White, shown driving to the basket during a game in the 2013-14 season, will have a scholarship named in his memory based on money raised through today’s Diamond Stackz tournament at Sumter High School. White died in a drowning accident in Myrtle Beach in May of 2015.

By DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com When the idea of holding a basketball tournament in memory of former Sumter High School basketball standout Erick White came up last year, its sole purpose was to help raise money to cover the funeral expenses for White. The event was put together and held in a space of two weeks by some teammates and friends of White, who drowned in the Atlantic Ocean while on a trip to Myrtle Beach on May 23, 2015. The event, which was held at Je-

tremendous crowd, people enjoying basketball, the sport Erick loved, and the fellowship. It was great for the kids of the community.” Based on that success, the Second Annual Diamond Stackz Classic will be held today beginning at 10 a.m. in the two Sumter High School gymnasiums. Money raised from this tournament will go to fund the Erick White Scholarship, which will go to a just-graduated basketball player from the Sumter School District high schools of Sumter, Crestwood and Lakewood.

Thunder look to close out Warriors in Game 6 By CLIFF BRUNT The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY — The Thunder won’t say they have to win Game 6 against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday to win the Western Conference finals.

Today’s slate includes the final Pool B games of the tournament with Clemson facing 10th-seeded Wake Forest (33-24) at 11 a.m., while Louisville meets No. 3 seed Virginia (36-19) in the 7 p.m. contest. The Pool B winner is scheduled to face the Pool A winner – top-seeded Miami or fourth-seeded Florida State – in Sunday’s noon championship game. “This is an unbelievable win for our program against what I think is arguably the best team in the country,” Tigers head coach Monte Lee said. “You have to give Louisville a lot of credit for what they accomplished this year. They are extremely talented, one through nine in their lineup. They have premium arms with starting pitching. “(Cardinals starter Brendan) McKay is one of the best starting pitchers in the country.

Injured Nadal withdraws from French Open By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press PARIS — For a decade, Rafael Nadal ruled Roland Garros the way no other man has dominated any Grand Slam site. On Friday, his powerful left wrist wrapped in a blue brace, Nadal delivered the surprising news he was NADAL withdrawing before his thirdround match at the French Open because of an injury that would prevent him from delivering the whiplike, spinheavy forehand that carried him to a record nine championships and a 72-2 record on the tournament’s red clay. “To win the tournament, I need five more matches,” Nadal said, his face expressionless, his arms crossed in front of him, “and the doctor says that’s 100 percent impossible.”

Kyle Larson walks through the garage Thursday before practice for Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C.

Improving Larson looks for first Sprint Cup win By STEVE REED The Associated Press

Coca-Cola 600 lineup

CONCORD, N.C. — Kyle Larson believes he’s on the verge of kicking in the door and getting his first NASCAR Sprint Cup win. The 23-year-old seems to be getting close. Larson finished second two weeks ago at Dover, then had a chance to win the AllStar exhibition race at Charlotte Motor Speedway last weekend before losing control of his car and hitting the wall following a challenge from Joey Logano. He wound up finishing 16th, missing out on a losing out on a chance for a breakthrough win and the $1 million first-place prize. “It would mean a lot to get it anywhere, but especially here at Charlotte, close to home,” Larson said of his first Sprint Cup win. “. ... We have been rolling good the last few weeks. Hopefully, we can keep the momentum going. Our car has been getting a lot faster.” Whether it will be fast enough on Sunday night in the Coca-Cola 600 — NASCAR’s longest race of the year — remains to be seen. There have been great expectations thrust upon Larson, who has gone 87 races without a Sprint Cup victory. But his recent success, which includes holding off Chase Elliott to win the third segment of the Sprint Showdown last week to race his way into the All-Star race, has him feeling confident. But certainly not overconfident. “A lot of the times I’ve seen drivers in the past that run well in the All-Star race don’t run well at the 600,” Larson said. “Hopefully, that is not the case this week, but we are going to work really hard to try and have a good run. Hopefully, it all works out.” Larson, who’ll start 24th on Sunday night, is expected to receive plenty of competition from Logano, who has won the last two races at CMS, including the fall race in October.

minutes tomorrow night,” Donovan said Friday. “That’s really what it comes down to. You can get caught up in thinking about the future and what the results mean at the end of the game. But the bottom line is the result at the end of the game will happen, and what you don’t want to do is be focused on the result and forget to do your job during the course of 48 minutes.” Oklahoma City has done the job at home in the series. The Thunder won Game 3 133-105, tying a franchise record for points scored in a playoff game. The Thunder came back with more of the same in Game 4, a 118-94 blowout that put the defending champion Warriors on the brink of elimination. The Warriors know it’s going to take something special to produce a different result at the arena known as Loud City on Saturday. “It will take all of our IQ, all of our gamesmanship,

Logano will start on the front row Sunday night alongside pole winner Martin Truex Jr. “This has become one of our best race tracks for sure,” Logano said. “Winning the last two races here, it gives you a lot of confidence going into races.” But Logano is quick to point out this will be the third different rules package in the last three races at CMS, and the track is always changing depending on the weather. “It feels like it is something different every time,” Logano said.

and just 48 great minutes to get a win down there, considering how the last two games have gone,” Warriors guard Stephen Curry said. The Warriors saved their season with a 120-111 win Thursday night in Oakland. There’s still hope that they can defend their title. “Our guys have had a spectacular run here the last two years,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “They’ve loved every second of it. They don’t want it to end, and no matter how you look at it, if you’re not the last team standing, it’s tough. It’s a disappointing way to go out. So we want to hang in there. We want to win the next two and get back to the finals.” Rebounding has been the best indicator in the series. In Oklahoma City’s three wins, the Thunder have outrebounded the Warriors. Golden State has won or tied in that category in both of its wins. The Thunder, the league’s top rebounding team in the regular season, need to take advantage of their size and depth.

“There have been some games in this series where we’ve done a really good job, and there are some games we need to do a better job,” Donovan said. “I’ve said this during the course of the season — you’ve got to be intentional about what you’re doing. We’ll have to go back and start over and understand that that’s really — and has always been in this series — a very, very important ingredient for both teams.” Golden State got a more typical effort from Curry on Thursday night after two subpar games in Oklahoma City. He scored 31 points on 9-for-20 shooting to fuel the victory. The Warriors believe they have figured out at least part of their problem. “We play better when we’re having fun,” Curry said. “We played like we were really stressed in OKC, and it showed. Got to bottle up that joy and take it with us on the plane to OKC and be ready on Saturday. It’s going to be an electric atmosphere, and I think we’re ready for the challenge.”

Florida’s Buddy Reed (23) scores during a 12-2 win over Mississippi State on Friday in Hoover, Ala.

Florida eliminates Mississippi St. 12-2 HOOVER, Ala. — JJ Schwarz was 4 for 5 with four RBIs runs to lead Florida to a 12-2, seven-inning victory over regular-season champion Mississippi State on Friday night in a Southeastern Conference Tournament elimination game. The defending champion Gators (46-12) won by the 10run mercy rule. They’ll face LSU on Saturday, with the winner playing Texas A&M or Mississippi for the title. Schwarz doubled and tripled for Florida, which also got two RBIs from Danny Reyes. Nelson Maldonado and Deacon Liput each scored three runs. Texas A&M 13 Vanderbilt 3

HOOVER, Ala. — Kyle Simonds pitched another strong game against Vanderbilt and Texas A&M scored seven runs in the first inning of a 13-3 win Friday, advancing in the Southeastern Conference tournament. The game ended on the 10run rule in the seventh inning when the Aggies (43-14) capitalized on three errors

an awful lot about our ballclub, about our toughness. We had some huge at-bats today. Seth Beer hit a homer late. Reed Rohlman had two just massive at-bats for us, hit two home runs today, which was the difference in the ballgame.” Rohlman’s second home run of the day –- which followed the same general trajectory of his first into the right field bleachers -– gave the Tigers a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the sixth. Rohlman became the first Clemson player to hit multiple home runs in an ACC Baseball Championship game since Jeff Baker connected twice against Virginia in the 2000 tournament at Fort Mill. Rohlman and K.J. Bryant each accounted two of the Tigers’ six total hits.

by Vanderbilt (43-17) to score twice. Simonds (9-3) had pitched a no-hitter against Vandy on May 7. He allowed three runs, one earned, in seven innings while striking out 10 and not walking a batter. J.B. Moss hit a sacrifice fly to score Walker Pennington for the final run, and left fielder Ro Coleman misplayed the ball. The Aggies will face Mississippi Saturday for a berth in the championship game. Wake Forest 10 Virginia 9

DURHAM, N.C. — Kevin Conway homered and Wake Forest held on to beat Virginia 10-9 on Friday at the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament. Will Craig, Johnny Aiello, Joey Rodriguez and Nate Mondou also homered for the 10th-seeded Demon Deacons (34-24). They improved to 1-1 in pool play and will earn a berth in the ACC championship game if they beat sixthseeded Clemson on Saturday. From wire reports

“...We knew (McKay) liked to throw the fastball. We had a great pitching plan; give credit to our coaches for that. But just stuck to. We knew they were going to have to turn around his fastball today and it worked out in our favor.” McKay (11-3) departed with one out in the top of the sixth after allowing four earned runs on five hits, including both of Rohlman’s home runs and another solo shot by Wilson. He walked five batters and struck out four while throwing 93 pitches. Beer followed Rohlman’s shot with his ACC-leading 16th home run of the season –- a longer shot to deep right –- to close out the scoring in the seventh inning and set the Clemson freshman record for homers in a season. “...So obviously I wasn’t coming into Clemson this early spring thinking, you

know, I was going to break the record for home runs,” Beer said. “But it’s a pretty cool accomplishment and I’m honored to hold that. “But the other thing that I want to say is just my teammates been picking me up lately. Obviously we’ve got a great squad and they have been picking me up, and it’s just been a great experience to be a part of a club like this. And I wouldn’t change it for the world.” Clemson starter Clate Schmidt (8-4) complemented the long balls with a solid 8 2/3 innings. Schmidt allowed eight hits and just two earned runs while walking one and striking out two. “I think that today, I knew going into it, especially with the previous starts and outings, I was coming in there with a different confidence level,” Schmidt said. “Our defense and offense has real-

ly been clicking as of late, as they always have been. I was really fortunate to be able to go in there with a lot of confidence and just try to execute pitches and get us out and back into the dugout as quickly as possible.” Louisville provided some anxious moments for the Tigers in the top of the ninth, when No. 8 hitter Colin Lyman and pinch-hitter Will Smith delivered back-to-back 2-out singles. But Clemson closer Pat Krall came on to retire Corey Ray on a liner to short to earn his fifth save of the season. Danny Rosenbaum and Lyman each finished with two hits and an RBI for Louisville. The Cardinals, ranked as high as No. 3 nationally and No. 1 in Friday’s NCAA RPI, saw a 10-game winning streak come to an end. The nationally 15thranked Tigers (No. 9 RPI) have won seven straight.

CAMDEN – Devin Beckley allowed two hits on the mound and also drove in three runs to lead Camden Post 17 to a 14-1 victory over Manning-Santee Post 68 in seven innings on Friday in Camden. Beckley struck out eight and gave up two walks for Camden. Post 17 scored two runs in the first and four runs in the third, fifth and sixth innings. William Ard scored the lone run for Manning-Santee, who registered just three hits. Ard walked in the fourth, took second on a throwing error and then came around to score on a 2-out wild pitch.

CHICAGO — Jorge Soler, David Ross and Kris Bryant hit long home runs to back Jon Lester and lead the Chicago Cubs to a 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on a rainy Friday afternoon. The big drives helped the Cubs win their third straight after dropping eight of 12, and they came before two late delays for 56 minutes in the top of the seventh inning and for 37 minutes at the start of the ninth.

Mississippi self-imposes scholarship cuts OXFORD, Miss. — Mississippi has self-imposed scholarship reductions in football because of NCAA violations. The university released its 154-page response Friday to the notice of allegations received in January. The NCAA’s long-running investigation began in 2012 after a university probe discovered academic and recruiting misconduct involving the women’s basketball program. Ole Miss later acknowledged the investigation had spread to the football and track and field programs. From staff, wire reports

Jutanugarn had four backnine birdies, including No. 18 when her approach went off a hospitality suite and landed in a greenside bunker 20 yards from the hole. Her sand shot set her up for a short putt and an 11-under 133 total.

“We feel like this is a great way to celebrate the life of Erick White,” said Ta’Bon, who helped pull the event together along with Dominic Childs, Evan Todd, Duane Kyles and Aja Black. “We think being able to help someone make it to college is a great way to remember Erick.” Players who apply for the scholarship will have their academic records taken into account, recommendations from teachers and coaches and an essay they write on why deserve the scholarship. As for the tournament itself, there are 16 teams coming from Columbia, Charleston and North Carolina as well as local teams. Admission is $5 a person and concessions will be available. White was selected to play in the North-South All-Star Game in 2014 and was also selected to the 4A All-State team. He averaged 10.7 points per game and 4.8 steals to go with 3.2 assists.

VIRGINIA WATER, England — Danny Willett made six birdies in a tournament-record 29 on the front nine at the BMW PGA Championship on Friday, setting up a 4-under 68 that gave the Masters champion a three-way share of the second-round lead. Australia’s Scott Hend eagled the last for a 69 to tie Willett and former U.S. PGA champion Y.E. Yang (69) for the lead on 10-under 134 in the European Tour’s flagship event at Wentworth. Willett’s approach shots were so precise that his successful birdie putts on Nos. 3-9 were from no more than 15 feet. The Englishman, who was among the morning starters, reached the turn holding a five-shot lead on 12 under but bogeyed four holes in the back nine — including Nos. 15-17 — with birdies on the 14th and 18th holes. “I played great most of the day and then chucked a couple of horrid shots in there,” said Willett, whose group was put on the clock for slow play. “It was still not quite the back nine I was hoping for. But 10 under par, you’d have taken it at the beginning of the day.”

It will be speed vs. speed in the Stanley Cup final between the San Jose Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins. San Jose got through the Western Conference the same way Pittsburgh got through the East: with plenty of depth and speed to kill. The final will feature the three top playoff scorers in the Sharks’ Logan Couture, Joe Pavelski and Brent Burns against Penguins stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. “It’s going to be fast hockey,” Crosby said after the Penguins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 7 of the East final Thursday night. “Two teams that want to play the exact same way, that want to get their D involved (and) their power play is really dangerous. ... It’s going to be quite the series.” The Sharks are in the Cup final for the first time in their 24-season franchise history and in Peter DeBoer’s first year as coach. The Penguins are back for the first time since winning it all in 2009 and made it after Mike Sullivan replaced Mike Johnston as coach in December. In his first meeting with them, Sullivan challenged his players to be great and told them that’s how they win in the NHL. They’ve won in the playoffs on the strength of scoring from Crosby and speedy wingers Phil Kessel, Carl Hagelin and Game 7 hero Bryan Rust, not to mention the goaltending of 22-year-old rookie Matt Murray. Kessel is Pittsburgh’s leading scorer with 18 points on nine goals and nine assists after coming over from the Toronto Maple Leafs in a

trade last summer. “I don’t think you could dream about that. You never could expect this,” Kessel said. “This is a huge moment in my career and my life.” San Jose is also rolling along thanks to a summer pickup in goaltender Martin Jones, who was the Los Angeles Kings’ backup when they won the Cup in 2014. Couture, Pavelski and Burns are piling up the points, but this run is about aging veterans Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau finally breaking through. Thornton and Marleau, the top two picks in the 1997 draft, made the playoffs together with the Sharks in nine of 10 previous seasons but had yet to make the Cup final until now. Crosby and Malkin made it twice, losing in 2008 to the Detroit Red Wings before winning the following season. At the time, it looked like the young core that also featured defenseman Kris Letang would challenge for the Cup every year. Now they have a chance to add to their legacy, but it won’t be easy even with home-ice advantage in the series that starts Monday night in Pittsburgh. The Sharks are the Penguins’ deepest opponent yet. “The Penguins should expect a team that’s deeper, quicker than Tampa, and a team that’s playing with a lot of confidence,” NBC Sports analyst Ed Olczyk said. Confidence isn’t lacking for either team. The Sharks knocked off the Los Angeles Kings, Nashville Predators and St. Louis Blues to get here, while the Penguins beat the New York Rangers, Presidents’ Trophy-winning Capitals and defending Eastchampion Lightning.
