A Sumter police officer looks through the wreckage of a 1996 Chevrolet Blazer on Wednesday. The Blazer was reportedly traveling westbound on South Pike Road from Main Street when the car left the roadway and flipped onto its side between Pike and U.S. 378 about 6:35 p.m. The driver and the passenger were treated at the scene for injuries, and a section of Pike Road was shut down while firefighters and EMS attended to them.

County council meetings go high tech BY BRADEN BUNCH bbunch@theitem.com Sumter County Council has gone high tech. Attendees to Tuesday’s council meeting found the council chambers in the third floor of the Sumter County Administrative Building had more of a 21st-century flair, as the county administration unveiled a series of technological aids for the proceedings. While portraits of previous council chairmen continue to hang along the chamber walls, they are now joined by two wide presentation screens displaying the graphs,

maps and proposed ordinances associated with the issues at hand. In addition, a bank of monitors — one for each council member — adorn the council dais, displaying the documents as well. Each council member was also given a tablet-style computer, uploaded with the documents for the day’s agendas. The rollout of new equipment is part of a technological expansion county officials say they hope will make local government more accessible to the public. Earlier in the month, the county also installed a

LOCAL & STATE BRIEFS | FROM STAFF & WIRE REPORTS

Man reportedly slaps jogger on behind Sumter police are suggesting precautionary tips to joggers and walkers after arresting a 20-year-old man Thursday morning after a 55-year-old woman reported she was assaulted while walking in the historic BIRHT district. Justin Birht, of 128 Haynsworth St., was charged with assault and battery, second degree, after being accused of following a 55-year-old woman walking near the corner of Calhoun and Salem streets before running up and smacking her on the behind and fleeing down Salem Street toward Hampton Street. The suspect was located by law enforcement shortly after the incident and was identified by the woman as her assailant. He was taken into custody and transported to SumterLee Regional Detention Center, where he awaited a bond hearing. Sumter Police Department recommends residents avoid walking or jogging alone and stay in well-lighted, populated areas. Law enforcement also suggests avoiding short cuts through vacant lots or alley-ways; remaining aware of surroundings; and going to the nearest open business or location where other people are gathered if you sense you are being followed.

Senate passes $113M capital spending bill COLUMBIA — South Carolina senators approved a bill Thursday designating $113 million from this year’s rainy day fund. The 33-10 vote on the capital reserve bill nearly brought to a close three weeks of budget debate in the chamber. The separate bill requires another vote to return to the House, expected Tuesday, allowing little time for compromise between the chambers’ spending plans before the session’s scheduled end June 6. The largest chunk of the $113 million pays off a $20 million loan to the Department of Revenue to cover contracts negotiated by Gov. Nikki Haley following last fall’s cyber-theft of millions of taxpayers’ personal data. The bill also includes $10 million to extend credit monitoring for taxpayers who signed up for a statepaid service by the March 31 deadline.

8 students face charges after fight BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com A Sumter middle school will have an increased police presence today after a fight on school grounds Thursday, which resulted in eight students facing charges and disciplinary action. The students were involved in an after-school altercation at Chestnut Oaks Middle School, according to Sumter School District. The incident started in a commons area where students were gathering after classes had been dismissed, and officers called to the scene described several fights between individuals occurring at once. Law enforcement officers from both the Sumter Police Department and Sumter County Sheriff ’s Office responded. No serious injuries were reported from the altercation, according to the sheriff ’s office, which is investigating.

The juveniles involved, whose names and ages have not been released, will be charged with disturbing schools and will also face disciplinary action by the school district. All students were released to the custody of their parents after order was restored. A press release from the school district described the fight as “allegedly gang related,” but Sheriff Anthony Dennis said late Thursday he wasn’t prepared to say gangs were involved. “The only thing I’ve heard that it might be gang-related is that some territorial remarks were made” during the altercation, he said, adding the fight “was apparently motivated by something that started out on the street and then somebody retaliated at school.” Some of the students had to be physically restrained by officers. Dennis maintained none of his officers

had to deploy Tasers in the incident. In addition to the eight juveniles already facing charges in the incident, investigators will also try to identify other students who might have been involved. Those students could also face charges and disciplinary action by the district. A school district spokesperson said the middle school will have heightened security when classes resume today “to help ensure a safe and orderly environment.” The sheriff also said his office and Sumter police will take extra precautions next week during the final week of the school year. “My officers have been instructed not to jeopardize school safety and to remove any individual who may pose a threat to any student,” Dennis said. “We’ll have a zero-tolerance policy.” Reach Bristow Marchant at (803) 774-1272.

Lady Jam brings hip-hop gospel to South Sumter BY JADE ANDERSON janderson@theitem.com Lady Jam is back using rap to reach youths with a message of hope. The Holy Hip Hop Nations’ Sunday Afternoon Takeover of the South Sumter Park Gym, 630 S. Sumter St., Sumter, is a free event that will start at 4 p.m. “We’re going to wrap the message in the arts and have a wonderful, wonderful time on Sunday,” said the Rev. LaDana Clark, better known as Lady Jam. “I’m excited, and the community is excited. I’m prayerful that it will be helpful for the community.” She is the founder of the faith-based, nonprofit Church-N-The-Hood, a Hip Hop 4-Life, Jesus, Justice and Community Street Movement. The initiative is aimed at helping to “save a life and decrease the body bags,” states a recent news release. “There is a lot of gun violence, and a lot of young people are dying, unfortunately,” Clark said. “It’s not just in Sumter. Many parts of the country happen to have that challenge as well. The goal is if we put some positive information into one person’s head and we help them change direction, we stop that body from going into a bag. When you empower people with information and education, then they use it to empower themselves.” Clark previously told The Item she began using drugs in seventh grade and grew up in a home where drug use was common. She lost her mother, two aunts and two older brothers, at least in part, because of drug and alcohol use. The first part of her childhood, Clark was in New York, but she moved to South Carolina when she was 14. In 1980, she attended Sumter Area Technical College, now known as Central Carolina Technical College, where she studied radio broadcasting. She went on to become a former radio personality or disc jockey at different cities in five states including South Carolina before

Besides Lady Jam, the event is scheduled to feature DJ Cool; C; Poetic Peacemakers; Tabu Lamya (LA) Thompson and Nicky AKA G-Mami; the young drum-major 4-Jesus, Brother Blake; and “Shorty-Rock,” Taquanda Nathaniel. “I see people from different ministries coming together with us and people that may not necessarily confess to be Christian,” Clark said. “The goal is to also welcome them in love and a positive message. ... There will be no bashing of ‘that’ group or that ‘culture.’ ... I want young people to have a voice. They need to

have a voice. They need to know there is a place they can express themselves in a language they are comfortable expressing themselves in. I know young people who had they rapped in church, their life may have been different, but they didn’t have that positive outlet.” While the event is free, a love offering may be taken up, she said, and although billed for youths, the event is for all the “young at heart.” For more information, contact Clark at (803) 403-3763.

dence to retrieve his belongings, at which point a 54-year-old man came outside, and the two men attempted to get into a fight. A 35-year-old female told law enforcement that a 27-year-old man poked her in the head, causing her to bang it against the head board, slammed her into a wall and the floor, knocked her out of the room and against an SUV and then onto the ground between 11:53 and 11:59 p.m. Saturday.

Sumter Downtown Market opens Saturday BY IVY MOORE ivym@theitem.com The Sumter Downtown Market opens Saturday with more than 10 vendors and a completely new look.

After Mayor Joe McElveen cuts the ribbon and welcomes vendors and shoppers to the new market at 8:30 a.m., shoppers will find a wide vari-

ety of merchandise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got people bringing fine, handmade items for purchase,â&#x20AC;? Newman said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have entertainment each week as well as a kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; area.â&#x20AC;? From 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. this Saturday, entertainment will be provided by dancers from Miss Libbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Dance. Already, Newman

Airman charged in school burglary BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com An airman is facing charges of burglarizing a school after sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputies concluded an investigation into missing funds from High Hills Elementary School. Michael Paul Wackford, 26, of 2435 Navigator Circle, Dalzell, faces three counts of second-degree burglary and WACKFORD three counts of possession of burglary tools after the Sumter County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office said hundreds of dollars from a school safe went missing on at least three separate occasions, once while the suspect was reportedly

wearing his military uniform. Law enforcement was first notified of the situation May 20, when school officials informed investigators they had captured the intruder on video. Administrators became suspicious when they noticed money missing from a safe kept on school grounds on Frierson Road near the northern gate of Shaw Air Force Base, according to the incident report. They installed a hidden security camera near the safe, and about 11:35 p.m. May 19, the camera caught a man entering the safe wearing jean shorts, a green T-shirt and â&#x20AC;&#x153;some type of tool in his front pocket.â&#x20AC;? At the time, about $100 was taken from the safe.

Later in the week, what appeared to be the same individual was captured on videotape at 10 p.m. May 23, this time removing about $70 from the safe while wearing a full military uniform. From that point, investigators were able to identify the suspect and took him into custody May 24. Wackford is a staff sergeant who worked in the security police at Shaw, according to sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office investigations commander Capt. Allen Dailey. He has no apparent connection to the elementary school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why he would target them,â&#x20AC;? Dailey said. Investigators and school administrators are unsure how many times the school was

entered. In the initial report, administrators said items may have been disappearing for six to eight weeks before the security camera was installed. Likewise, it is unclear how much money was ultimately taken. Dailey estimated it at â&#x20AC;&#x153;less than a thousand dollars.â&#x20AC;? As a uniformed member of the Air Force, Wackford could face court martial charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice in addition to the charges brought against him in civilian court. Efforts to reach public affairs officers at Shaw Air Force Base on Thursday were unsuccessful. Reach Bristow Marchant at (803) 774-1272.

Arrest made in assault; police searching for 2nd suspect BY SHARRON HALEY sharron@theitem-clarendonsun.com MANNING â&#x20AC;&#x201D; One man is in custody while Manning police search for a second man who they think assaulted a 50-year-old Manning man early Sunday morning. Montag Lamall Webb, 21, unknown address, turned himself in to Detective Lt. Sonia Daniels with the Manning Police Department on Tuesday night.

Webb has been charged with attempted murder and first-degree burglary and is currently being held at the Clarendon County Detention Center. Daniels said they are continuing to look for Jonathan Cody Newman, 19, who has a street name of â&#x20AC;&#x153;J. White,â&#x20AC;? who authorities think was also involved in the assault. The 50-year-old assault victim, whose name has not

been released, is in guarded condition at a Columbia hospital, Daniels added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a couple of surgeries already,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still in bad shape.â&#x20AC;? Police think a robbery led to the beating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that some items were taken, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re withholding that information until further arrests are made,â&#x20AC;? she said. Daniels said officers are unsure exactly when the as-

sault took place. Police were dispatched to the 200 block of Church Street at 3 a.m. Sunday; however, Daniels said the assault might have taken place late Saturday night. The call to 911 to report a possible assault was placed by Lester Lemon, 59, of 106 E. Huggins St., who Daniels said has been charged with providing false information to police. Kevin Lamont Slater, 32, and Barbara Ken-

nedy Burgess, 45, of 202 S. Church St., and Letroy Samuels, 32, of 720 W. Huggins St. also were all charged with providing false information to police. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still investigating the assault,â&#x20AC;? Daniels said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have leads coming in that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re continuing to look into.â&#x20AC;? Anyone with information regarding the assault or Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whereabouts are asked to call (803) 435-8859.

STATE BRIEF

Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentence reduced in stabbing BY ROBERT J. BAKER bbaker@theitem.com The stabbing wounds that John M. Scott inflicted on Christopher Lynch in October 2012 were non-life threatening, according to the Sumter County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. But according to 3rd Circuit Assistant Solicitor Darla F. Pierce, that is not the reason her office reduced a charge of attempted murder against the 32-year-old Scott to first-degree assault and battery. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the reason she recommended a 10-year prison sentence suspended to time served and two yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; probation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frankly, we have never really been able to make contact with the victim,â&#x20AC;? Pierce said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, we have had contact with one witness, and (former Sheriff ) Tommy Mims

has had contact with the victim. The victim has expressed a wish not to proceed forward with the charges due to his concerns about (Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) mental state.â&#x20AC;? Scott was ordered in November by 13th Circuit Judge D. Garrison Hill to undergo a mental evaluation, and 3rd Circuit Judge R. Ferrell Cothran said Wednesday at the Sumter County Courthouse that Scott had been deemed fit to stand trial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I do believe he understands your questions here today,â&#x20AC;? said Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer, Sumter Public Defender Tim Murphy. According to reports, Scott was charged with attempted murder Oct. 7, 2012, after the Sumter County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office responded to a home in the 100 block of Sherry Lane after reports of an altercation. There they found Lynch, 23,

â&#x20AC;&#x153;disoriented and unsteady on his feetâ&#x20AC;? with four puncture wounds to his upper and middle back. Lynch told police he had been visiting at Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home on Timmerman Road to watch a football game, during which the men got into an argument. A black-handled knife was found and taken into evidence at the scene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In talking with police, the defendant did say he intended to kill (Lynch),â&#x20AC;? Pierce said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The victim has relayed to us that he knew (Scott) was schizophrenic and had mental issues.â&#x20AC;? Cothran followed Pierceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation, making compliance with any medications Scott is prescribed for mental illness a condition of his probation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you go off those medications, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s violating your probation,â&#x20AC;? Cothran said. Reach Robert J. Baker at (803) 7741211.

DHEC staffers fired in light of tuberculosis tests GREENWOOD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Staff members of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Health and Environmental Control have been fired over their handling of the tuberculosis case at a Greenwood County school. DHEC director Catherine Templeton also said Thursday that some staffers will face disciplinary action for their handling of the case. Department officials met with parents at Ninety Six Primary School who voiced concern about not being notified sooner and why not all students were offered a chance to be tested. School officials said some children were exposed to the germ sometime in the past few months, but parents only learned about the potential exposure this week. School officials said they followed all state guidelines when notifying parents.

Mothers now top earners in 4 in 10 U.S. households BY HOPE YEN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A record number of American women are now the sole or primary breadwinners in their families, a sign of the rising influence of working mothers, a new study finds. Mothers now keep finances afloat in 40 percent of households with children, up from just 11 percent in 1960. While most of these families are headed by single mothers, a growing number are married mothers who bring in more income than their husbands, according to a study released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center. As the numbers have shifted, however, public attitudes have remained mixed regarding the impact of working mothers on families. People are not at all sure that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing. Demographers say the change is all but irreversible and is likely to bring added at-

tention to child-care policies as well as government safety nets for vulnerable families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This change is just another milestone in the dramatic transformation we have seen in family structure and family dynamics over the past 50 years or so,â&#x20AC;? said Kim Parker, associate director with the

Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roles have changed, marriage rates have declined â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the family looks a lot different than it used to. The rise of breadwinner moms highlights the fact that, not only are more mothers balancing work and family these days, but the economic contributions mothers are making to their households have grown immensely.â&#x20AC;? The trend is being driven mostly by long-term demographic changes, including higher rates of education and labor force participation dating back to the 1960s womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s movement. Today, women are more likely than men to hold bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees, and they make up nearly half â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 47 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of the American workforce. But recent changes in the economy, too, have played a part. Big job losses in manufacturing and construction, fields that used to provide

high pay to a mostly male workforce, have lifted the relative earnings of married women, even among those in mid-level positions such as teachers, nurses or administrators. The jump in working women has been especially prominent among those who are mothers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from 37 percent in 1968 to 65 percent in 2011 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; reflecting in part increases for those who went looking for jobs to lift sagging family income after the recent recession. At the same time, marriage rates have fallen to record lows. Forty percent of births now occur out of wedlock, leading to a rise in singlemother households. Many of these mothers are low-income with low education and more likely to be black or Hispanic. In all, 13.7 million U.S. households with children under age 18 now include mothers who are the main breadwinners. Of those, 5.1 million, or 37 percent, are

married, while 8.6 million, or 63 percent, are single. The income gap between the families is large â&#x20AC;&#x201D; $80,000 in median family income for married couples vs. $23,000 for single mothers. Both groups of breadwinner moms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; married and unmarried â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have grown sharply. Among all U.S. households with children, the share of married breadwinner moms has jumped from 4 percent in 1960 to 15 percent in 2011. For single mothers, the share has increased from 7 percent to 25 percent. How does the general public feel about that? While roughly 79 percent of Americans reject the notion that women should return to their traditional roles, only 21 percent of those polled said the trend of more mothers of young children working outside the home is a good thing for society, according to the Pew survey.

Poll: 2 in 5 women would consider solo parenthood BY JENNIFER AGIESTA and JOCELYN NOVECK Associated Press Writers As Christy Everson was nearing age 40, she made a decision: She wanted to have a child, even though she was single and it meant doing it all alone. Her daughter, conceived via a sperm donor, is now 2Â˝ years old, and Everson hopes to have a second child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Was it worthwhile? Well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking of doing it again, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I?â&#x20AC;? she said. Everson and women like her are part of a shift in American society. An Associated Press-WE TV poll of people under 50 found that more than 2 in 5 unmarried women without children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or 42 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would consider having a child

on their own without a partner, including more than a third, or 37 percent, who would consider adopting solo. The poll, which addressed a broad range of issues on Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changing family structures, dovetails with a recent report by the U.S. Census Bureau that sin-

gle motherhood is on the rise: It found that of 4.1 million women whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d given birth in 2011, 36 percent were unmarried at the time of the survey, an increase from 31 percent in 2005. And among mothers 2024, the percentage was 62 percent, or six in 10 mothers.

The AP-WE tv poll also found that few Americans think the growing variety of family arrangements is bad for society. However, many have some qualms about single mothers, with some two-thirds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or 64 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; saying

single women having children without a partner is a bad thing for society. More men â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 68 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; felt that way, compared to 59 percent of women. The survey found broad gender gaps in opinion on many issues

related to how and when to have children. One example: At a time when the can-you-have-it-all debate rages for working mothers, women were more apt than men to say having children has negatively impacted their career.

joined her husband to operate the Bishopville store. Smith said he came on board at the age of 19 in 1976 when his father died. In 1988, the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was changed to Easy Living Home Center. Tommy continued to work with his mother to run the store until her death in 2010. Smith has been active in the community, serving on the board of the Lee County Chamber of Commerce, and serving as its president for a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to recruit new business because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to have that money circulating in the community to keep it viable,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish the local leadership luck. They have a big task ahead of them in finding ways to rejuvenate the local economy.â&#x20AC;?

CLOSING from Page A1 resident, expressed his appreciation to staff, customers and the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had great employees over the 42 years, and we appreciate each and every one of them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can only tell you what a wonderful experience it has been in my life to be a part of this wonderful town. It always seemed like every time we made a sale, we also made a new friend.â&#x20AC;? In the end, Smith said closing the store was a business decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this time in our lives, after thinking long and hard and losing countless hours of sleep, we have made the decision to close the doors at Easy Living Home Center forever,â&#x20AC;? he said. Smith said the $1.2 million inventory has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;sharply discounted for immediate sale.â&#x20AC;? Still, he expects it is likely to take several months to liquidate all of its merchandise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be here as long as it takes,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be here to accept and collect payments as well.â&#x20AC;? After the store closes, Smith plans to spend more time focusing on his construction business, Wateree Builders Alliance. Local leaders said Smith and Easy Living Home Center will be missed. State Rep. Grady Brown, D-Bishopville, said he knows the decision to close was a difficult one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know of anybody in recent years who has done more to promote and fight for

downtown Bishopville than Tommy Smith,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so sad to see these businesses close because of difficult economic times.â&#x20AC;? Lee County Council Chairman Travis Windham said the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closing is devastating news for downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just another nail in the coffin for downtown and the city of Bishopville,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tommy and his family have always been supportive of this community. It is certainly a blow to downtown. I really hate to see it.â&#x20AC;? Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, the late Thomas Smith, opened S&M Furniture Store in Camden in 1968. In 1971, his father opened the Bishopville store with the same name. Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, the late Betty Smith,

COMMENTARY

The president’s Dorothy Doctrine “This war, like all wars, must end. That’s what history advises ...” — Barack Obama, May 23

ASHINGTON — Nice thought. But much as Obama would like to close his eyes, click his heels three times and declare the war on terror over, war is a two-way street. That’s what history advises: Two sides to fight it, two to end it. By surrender (World War II), by armistice (Korea and Vietnam) or when the enemy simply disappears from the field (the Cold War). Obama says enough is enough. He doesn’t want us on “a perpetual wartime footing.” Well, the Cold War lasted 45 years. The war on ter- Charles KRAUTHAMMER ror, 12 so far. By Obama’s calculus, we should have declared the Cold War over in 1958 and left Western Europe, our Pacific allies, the entire free world to fend for itself — and consigned Eastern Europe to endless darkness. John F. Kennedy summoned the nation to the burdens of the long twilight struggle. Obama, agonizing publicly about the awful burdens of command (which he twice sought in election), wants out. For him and for us. He doesn’t just want to revise and update the September 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, which many conservatives have called for. He wants to repeal it. He admits that the AUMF establishes the basis both in domestic and international law to conduct crucial defensive operations, such as drone strikes. Why, then, abolish the authority to do what we sometimes need to do? Because that will make the war go away? Persuade our enemies to retire to their caves? This is John Lennon, bumper-sticker foreign policy — Imagine World Peace. Obama pretends that the tide of war is receding. But it’s demonstrably not. It’s metastasizing to Mali, to the Algerian desert, to the North African states falling under the Muslim Brotherhood, to Yemen, to the savage civil war in Syria, now spilling over into Lebanon and destabilizing Jordan. Even Sinai, tranquil for 35 years, is descending into chaos. It’s not war that’s receding. It’s America. Under Obama. And it is precisely in the power vacuum left behind that war is rising. Obama declares Assad must go. The same wishas-policy fecklessness from our bystander president. Two years — and 70,000 dead — later,

Obama keeps repeating the wish even as the tide of battle is altered by the new arbiters of Syria’s future — Iran, Hezbollah and Russia. Where does every party to the Syrian conflict go on bended knee? To Moscow, as Washington recedes into irrelevance. But the ultimate expression of Obama’s Dorothy Doctrine is Guantanamo. It must close. Must, mind you. OK. Let’s accept the dubious proposition that the Yemeni prisoners could be sent home without coming back to fight us. And that others could be convicted in court and put in U.S. prisons. Now the rub. Obama openly admits that “even after we take these steps one issue will remain — just how to deal with those Gitmo detainees who we know have participated in dangerous plots or attacks but who cannot be prosecuted.” Well, yes. That’s always been the problem with Gitmo. It’s not a question of geography. The issue is indefinite detention — whether at Gitmo, a Colorado supermax or St. Helena. Can’t try ’em, can’t release ’em. Having posed the central question, what is Obama’s answer? “I am confident that this legacy problem can be resolved.” That’s it! I kid you not. He’s had four plus years to think this one through — and he openly admits he’s got no answer. Because there is none. Hence the need for Gitmo. Other wars end, at which point prisoners are repatriated. But in this war, the other side has no intention of surrender or armistice. They will fight until the caliphate is established or until jihadism is as utterly defeated as fascism and communism. That’s the reason — the only reason — for the detention conundrum. There is no solution to indefinite detention when the detainees are committed to indefinite war. Obama’s fantasies are twinned. He can no more wish the detention away than he can the war. We were defenseless on 9/11 because, despite bin Laden’s open written declaration of war in 1996, we pretended for years that no war against us had even begun. Obama would return us to pre9/11 defenselessness — casting Islamist terror as a law-enforcement issue and removing the legal basis for treating it as armed conflict — by pretending that the war is over. It’s enough to make you weep. Charles Krauthammer’s email address is letters@ charleskrauthammer.com. © 2013, The Washington Post Writers Group

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Reese, community owe Drakeford an apology As I read Mr. Earl Reese’s opinion column in Friday’s paper I was dismayed by his denial of the facts and effort to “shoot the messenger” concerning the Tuomey lawsuit. I was thankful when Graham Osteen again presented the facts of the Tuomey case in his Sunday editorial. We are very fortunate in our community to have a newspaper dedicated to the pursuit of truth in local news rather than consensus. There are, however, two issues Mr. Reese raised that I would like to address. First is his lie “that Dr. Drakeford was dissatisfied with the dollars offered in contract negotiations. So then he filed a lawsuit.” No amount of money would entice an outstanding and compassionate physician to endure the hate, denigration and ostracization from Sumter’s medical community that the Drakeford family has endured. Oh, and you forgot to mention that Dr. Drakeford has stated that any money he receives from the judgment will be placed in a charitable foundation. If greed was a motivation for anyone, there are 237 million reasons to suggest the Tuomey leadership should be your target. Mr. Reese and every member of this community indeed owe Dr. Drakeford not only an apology, but also a huge thank you for courageously standing up for the truth. I wish our medical community would exercise the same Christian example as Dr. Drakeford. Second is a complete lack of understanding about the responsibilities of leadership. The simple truth is, as a leader you’re responsible whether you were directly involved or not. You enjoy accolades for achievements but when failures occur, your leadership is tainted and the organization loses credibility. The leader of integrity then resigns to preserve the honor and trust of the institution. The District 17 Joe Klein scandal was a leadership disaster, and I hope this does not become a similar embarrassment. I thank you ladies and gentlemen of the Tuomey board and administration for your service. I don’t believe any of you purposely intended to defraud anyone. But now it’s time to do the right thing and move forward. God bless America. DAN HANCOCK Sumter

Council leading county toward bankruptcy County council is now wanting to increase our taxes the maximum under state law. Eugene Baten has debated me in The Item several times say-

ing the county is in excellent financial condition. I have said the county is broke. Mr. Baten, one of us is lying. I will let the people be the judge. The county law enforcement building was not built from a penny sales tax but from general funds at an estimated cost of $4 million. The county law building and the judicial center were built on a cost-plus percentage fee. This type of bid is not fair to contractors, and their proposals meant nothing; also council could grant the job to anyone. This type of bid opens the door to fraud which no one can prove. All the other bids on the community center and fire stations were on low bids. Why not the judicial center and sheriff’s office? Studies have been paid for by the county that state county and city law enforcement at least should stay together and merge. Sumter County continues to drive a wedge between city and county. The city did not know about the sheriff’s office until reading it in The Item. All these buildings built with the penny sales tax have no tax base for operations or maintenance. What is county council going to do about repairs of the old judicial center? They are running the county like a boat without a rudder. Counties have filed bankruptcy, and this one is headed down that trail at a high speed. I do not think we want to be led down that path by this incompetent group of self-serving council members. My friends, if you don’t get involved now, you will see more of a disaster. GARDNER GORE Sumter

Answers to questions on bundling, CT scan costs I am replying to Mike Compton’s letter of the May 23 issue in The Item. Bundling — Bundling will save money on health care. However, the physicians in private practice will receive much lower pay for hospital visits. They will leave the hospital and stay at their offices. Hospitalist physicians are very competent but often cannot provide the personal touch of a physician who has known your family. Remember, President Obama said you can keep your personal physician; however, if he is paid poorly he will disappear. CT scan costs — All CT scans are not the same. My experience at Tuomey ER for two and half years revealed many variations in CT techniques, including contrast and multiple views. One radiologist stated all CT scans are not equal. You need to ask the Columbia

hospital — their fee seems high to me. Uninsured charges — I certainly agree the very high charges (list price) are unfair to the uninsured. I can’t answer some of your questions. Possibly someone else can. PHIL BRANDT, M.D. Sumter

Ordinance needs changing for health, safety reasons Mr. Ralph Baker, did you really submit the letter that was published in The Item on May 28 in good conscience? It’s shameful that you diminish the problems that Sumter County citizens are having with the current burn ordinance to a single dispute with someone’s neighbor. Apparently, you are not well read or informed. If you were, you would know that on March 26, as reported in The Item, that a group of citizens from various communities in Sumter County attended the Public Safety meeting conducted by Sumter County Council to voice their concerns about the current burn ordinance not setting an adequate distance between people’s property and not being enforced. These citizens from these various Sumter County communities also complained of how open burning in Sumter County was negatively impacting their health. How did you miss that? So, to say that people should resolve their neighborly disputes themselves, in this matter, is very elitist. You are obviously out of touch with reality; if you weren’t, you would know that not every citizen has the type of neighbors that they can just resolve issues between themselves. So to suggest that people should police the actions of their neighbors is reckless. In your letter, Mr. Baker, you mention how you wait for the breeze to blow away from your neighbor’s pool so the ash does not get into his pool from your fire. This does not even make sense, so you stop and start your fire based on the direction of the wind or are you the only person in Sumter who can constantly control which way the wind blows? If ash gets into your neighbor’s yard then you are burning too close. It’s obvious that your motives are selfish and you only care about your burning and not anyone’s health or safety. Once again, this burn ordinance needs to be changed to ensure the health and safety of all Sumter citizens and not just serve the needs of a few. That is the “adult” and “responsible” thing for Sumter County to do. ERNEST FELDER Sumter

EADY from Page A1 the vehicle with Eady. Recently released from prison after being convicted of assaulting a police officer, Eady is considered armed and extremely dangerous, Garrett said. He advises residents to call authorities immediately if he is spotted. An employee of the 527 Recycling Center was found dead by her daughter at the center on 527 Subdivision Road in the Oakdale community of New Zion at about 4 p.m. Thursday after she couldn’t reach her mother. County officers were on their way to investigate the missing person’s report when they received the call about the emergency call about the body. The woman had been shot at least once, Garrett said. Her name had not been released as of press time.

Sadie F. Brown, of New Zion near the recycling center, was reported missing Thursday by her caregiver. She had been missing since Saturday. Garrett said he was holding out hope but doesn’t expect to find the woman alive. Officers are expected to begin looking for a body this morning if she wasn’t found alive during the night. Garrett, officers with the Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office, the State Law Enforcement Division and state Department of Corrections were on the scene late Thursday. County officials and officials with Waste Management, which operates the recycling center, also were present. Go to theitem.com for updates. Reach Sharron Haley at (803) 425-4604.

BOND DENIED from Page A1 said. “He also disposed of the weapon.” Law enforcement recovered the pistol, which Litaker said had been reported stolen in a home burglary some months before the shooting. “This fight originated at school, we believe,” Litaker said. “The argument continued in the victim’s yard. The defendant’s mother got in a side fight with another person. He told police he intended to fire a shot in the air to break up the fighting. He claimed to have no idea that someone was shot.” Cothran told Butler he will reconsider bond when she has more information about the case from the 3rd Circuit Solicitor’s Office. Darby has a $25,000 surety bond on both

the weapons charges. “At this point, I do have some concerns about flight risk and his being a danger to public safety,” Cothran said. “I want to defer this for (30 to 90 days) and see from discovery whether it was possible he was not firing directly at someone. I’m leaving his bond the way it is at that point.” Singleton’s children had all asked Cothran to deny bond outright. “(Derrick Antwan) Darby took our mother from us,” said oldest daughter Katrina Singleton. “I had to make decisions that I thought I would never have to do. It’s the hardest thing a daughter can feel. When things happen in my life, I want my momma, and she’s gone.” Reach Robert J. Baker at (803) 774-1211.

Presence of explosive chemicals often kept secret from citizens WASHINGTON (AP) — Fears of terrorism have made it harder than ever for citizens to find out what dangerous chemicals lurk in their backyards, The Associated Press has found. Secrecy and shoddy record keeping have kept the public and emergency workers in the dark about stockpiles of explosive material. A monthlong reporting effort by the AP, drawing upon public records in 28 states, found more than 120 facilities within a potentially devastating blast zone of schoolchildren, the elderly and the sick. But how many others exist nationwide is a mystery, as other states refused to provide data. People living near these facilities who want to know what hazardous materials they store would also have to request the information from state environmental agencies or emer-

gency management offices. County emergency management officials would also have it. The federal government does not have a central database, and while the Homeland Security Department has a list of ammonium nitrate facilities, it does not share it because of security concerns. Until the local fertilizer company in West, Texas, blew up last month and demolished scores of homes, many in that town didn’t know what chemicals were stored alongside the railroad tracks or how dangerous they were. Even some of the rescue workers didn’t know what they were up against. “We never thought of an explosive potential,” said Dr. George Smith, the EMS director who responded to the factory fire by running to a nearby nursing home to prepare for a possible chemical spill.

USC, Clemson begin journey Twenty-four-game home postseason streak at stake for Gamecocks against Saint Louis BY WILLIE T. SMITH III Greenville News

COLUMBIA REGIONAL

COLUMBIA — Postseason winning and South Carolina baseball have become synonymous in recent years. The Gamecocks’ streak of home postseason victories stands at 24, which dates back to 2002 when the Gamecocks topped Miami 6-4 after trailing in the ninth inHENDRICKSON ning. Saint Louis coach Darin Hendrickson, whose team plays USC in the Columbia Regional at Carolina Stadium at 7 tonight, is aware of the streak but has only one

Tigers not overlooking Flames BY AARON BRENNER Post and Courier CLEMSON — Liberty is hoping it isn’t just a formality. Clemson won’t take its first opponent for granted, even with a rivalry renewed with South Carolina perhaps just a day away. A mindset trickling down from head coach Jack Leggett, the NCAA Columbia Regional’s ERWIN No. 2-seeded Tigers (39-20) insist they’re focusing on the nine innings they have to play Friday and no others. No. 3 seed Liberty (34-27), along with Saint Louis (South Carolina’s day one opponent), are hoping to derail the presumed tantalizing Clemson-

USC showdown. The Flames earned their way to the NCAA bracket automatically by upending Campbell on Saturday for the Big South championship. Liberty triumphed in all five of its win-or-go-home dates in the league tournament on its home field. “Any team can play with any team in the country,” Clemson catcher Garrett Boulware said. “We know those are one of those teams that can beat us if we don’t play as hard as we can. We’ve got to play them as hard as we’d play South Carolina.” Outfielder Thomas Brittle, like his teammates had said earlier this week, wasn’t particularly concerned outwardly with even the prospect of facing South Carolina in the regional. “I wouldn’t say there’s really any SEE CLEMSON, PAGE B3

Big inning, errors plague Manning BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS jdriggers@theitem.com

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Miami’s LeBron James (6) goes up for a shot as Indiana guard George Hill (3) defends during their game in the Eastern Conference finals on Thursday in Miami. James had 30 points to lead the Heat to a 90-79 victory.

James scores 30 as Heat win 90-79 BY TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press MIAMI — There will be no win-or-else Game 6 in the Eastern Conference finals for the Miami Heat this season. LeBron James saw to that, and now the reigning champions are one victory from a third straight trip to the NBA Finals. James finished with 30 points, eight rebounds and six assists, Udonis Haslem made his last

eight shots on the way to a 16-point night, and the Heat used a dominant third quarter to turn things around and beat the Indiana Pacers 90-79 in Game 5 on Thursday. Mario Chalmers scored 12 points and Dwyane Wade added 10 for the Heat, who lead the series 3-2 and will look to close it out at Indiana on Saturday night. The Heat ousted the Pacers in six games in a second-round matchup last season.

AMERICAN LEGION SCHEDULE

MANNING – It was an all too familiar early-season story for Manning-Santee Post 68 on Thursday in its home opener. Another big inning by the opposition — helped along by two of seven errors on the night – put Manning in a hole early and the Post 68 offense was unable to put together enough big innings of its to counter as Post 17 earned a 10-5 victory at Monarch Field. The loss drops Manning to 1-2 SYLVESTER overall and in League III while Camden improves to 1-0. Post 68 will host Hartsville today while Camden hosts Sumter. “We can’t afford to make errors and give up big innings like that,” Post 68 head coach Billy Sylvester said. “Against Cheraw, we gave up seven in an inning, 10 in an inning and gave up four in an inning tonight. Right now, we walking people and making errors behind that which leads to big innings.” Post 17 got on the board first with a little small ball. A single, an error on a sacrifice bunt and an-

other perfectly placed bunt loaded the bases with no outs for Camden. Gunner Smith brought home the first run with fielder’s choice and Austin Hayes followed with a sacrifice fly to make it 2-0 Camden. Two Camden errors, one of which came on a strikeout, in the bottom of the first gave Post 68 runners on first and second with one down. But catcher Justin McArthur grounded into a 5-4-3 double play to end the threat. Manning did break through in the second. Blake Winans reached on an error and took third on Robbie Heathcotte’s single. Mark Pipkin drove Winans home with an infield single deep in the hole to cut the Camden lead to 2-1.

TNT to give fans backstage pass for six races BY JENNA FRYER The Associated Press CHARLOTTE — The TNT portion of the NASCAR television schedule begins next week at Pocono and the network will attempt to give fans a backstage pass during its six-race run. TNT will showcase one driver per week in an “All Access” segment during its pre-race coverage. First up will be Denny Hamlin, who will be followed by the network from the time Sunday’s race at Dover concludes all the way through next Friday’s qualifying at Pocono. TNT will follow Hamlin and

his Joe Gibbs Racing team through their weekly preparations. “We’re hoping fans get a deeper, insightful look at the driver, the teams and what goes on week-to-week,” said Craig Barry, senior vice president and executive creative director, HAMLIN Turner Sports. “I think that this type of television, this all-access, fly-on-thewall type television is becom-

ing more and more prevalent in what we do.” TNT will then do the same thing with Brad Keselowski leading into Michigan, Juan Pablo Montoya before Sonoma and Kurt Busch before Kentucky. It could make for compelling television as teams are generally hesitant to give too much of a glimpse of their preparations for risk of revealing strategy. Barry said TNT is aware teams SEE NASCAR, PAGE B2

Dickey and the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night. Freddie Freeman and Reed Johnson homered and Evan Gattis had three hits. Jordan Schafer added a tworun single in the sixth. Pena, Schafer and Gattis made the most of fill-in starts as Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez rested three regulars hitting below .200: outfielders B.J. Upton and Jason Heyward and second baseman Dan Uggla. Minor (7-2) gave up six hits and three runs — two earned — with five strikeouts and no walks in winning his fourth straight decision.

Panthers’ Smith wants to play 15-16 seasons CHARLOTTE — Steve Smith said the competition at the Panthers wide receiver position this year is “cut throat,” and the 13year veteran receiver plans to stick around to see how it shakes out. Smith, 33, told The Associated Press on Thursday he wants “to play 15 or 16 years” in the NFL, which would take him through the 2015 or 2016 season. Smith said he’s drawn inspiration from former Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Ronde Barber, who retired earlier this month after 16 seasons in the league. SCHWARTZEL TAKES LEAD AT MEMORIAL

DUBLIN, Ohio — Charl Schwartzel made sure one hole didn’t ruin an entire round Thursday in the Memorial.

And when he made a double bogey with an 8-iron in hand and his ball on a tee toward the end of the round, he got rid of that bad taste with

one last birdie for a 7-under 65. Bishopville native Tommy Gainey is tied for 27th at 1-under par after Thursday’s opening round. VMI, ETSU, MERCER TO JOIN SOCON

Mattek-Sands tops Li to reach French third round BY HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press PARIS — There were moments, as recently as last year, when a body that would not stay healthy and on-court results prompted Bethanie Mattek-Sands to wonder whether it was simply time to call it a career after more than a decade as a professional tennis player. “She was ready to quit,” her husband, Justin Sands, recalled. “She was like, ‘I’m done. I can’t do it. I don’t want to come back.’” Instead, Mattek-Sands “stuck it out,” in her words, making some significant changes — to her diet after discovering a host of food allergies, to her point-to-point focus. And at age 28, in her 27th Grand Slam tournament, Mattek-Sands earned her most

Top seed UNC ready to begin NCAA regional BY JOEDY MCCREARY The Associated Press CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — North Carolina is used to having the top team in the nation when tournament time rolls around. Just not in baseball. The Tar Heels hold the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament for the first time, and they hope to take their first steps toward a national title this weekend during their four-team regional. “We have a target on FRANK our backs, but we’re kind of used to that this year, being the No. 1 team (in the Baseball America poll) for most of the season,” outfielder Chaz Frank said Thursday. “We’ve had some pretty high expectations, and I think we’ve

met them so far, but that really doesn’t matter. This is a whole new season starting tomorrow. We’re looking to play up to the hype of our team.” The Tar Heels (52-8) take on fourth-seeded Canisius (42-15) on Friday evening after second-seeded Florida Atlantic (39-20) faces thirdseeded Towson (29-28) in the opener of the double-elimination regional. The winner in Chapel Hill advances to face the winner of the regional hosted by South Carolina, with a spot in the College World Series on the line. The Tar Heels — who enter at No. 1 in the RPI — should have an easier time getting through the first weekend of the tournament than they did last year, when they were the only top-eight national seed to be knocked out in the regional round.

Hokies serving as host for first time BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — When Virginia Tech earned a bid to an NCAA regional in 2010, it was an important step for coach Pete Hughes, who led the Hokies to the postseason for the first time in 10 years. The next big step comes this weekend, when Virginia Tech hosts a regional and tries to establish itself a legitimate threat to the usual AtlanHUGHES tic Coast Conference powerhouse programs. “It’s exciting times here at Virginia Tech, uncharted territory,” Hughes said. “It’s a significant step in the growth of our program. Things are buzzing. It doesn’t happen without

good players and good administrators who want to fight to tell everybody at the national level that we’re serious about baseball at Virginia Tech.” The top-seeded Hokies (38-20) are a host for the first time in the current NCAA tournament format. Virginia Tech welcomes Big 12 tournament champion Oklahoma (40-19), Coastal Carolina (37-21) from the Big South and Big East tournament champion Connecticut (34-26) to English Field for games that start Friday. The Hokies earned home-field advantage thanks to a late-season surge that included three victories against Virginia, the No. 6 seed nationally, and an undefeated run through the poolplay portion of the ACC tournament.

you know, there were times when I just physically couldn’t do it,” the 67th-ranked MattekSands said, “and I think that’s really frustrating.” There was hip surgery less than a week after her wedding in late 2008, a torn shoulder in 2011, a broken right big toe in 2012. Her ranking plummeted from a best of 30th to outside the top 200. She found herself playing in the sport’s minor leagues and going through qualifying just to get into tournaments. And now? “She can take more enjoyment out of it, out of playing,” said her coach, Adam Altschuler. “We’ve got to go do it the day after this and the day after that. But it’s great for her to show the world she’s this good.” By beating the sixth-seeded

Li to earn her fourth career win in 25 tries against top-10 players, Mattek-Sands helped give the United States its largest group of women in the third round at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament since six made it in 2004. The five U.S. women left, out of the 15 in the main draw, are the most this far at any Grand Slam tournament since the half-dozen at Wimbledon in 2005. “We have a lot of talented, young kids,” Mattek-Sands said, then added with a wink and a smile, “Obviously, older kids, too.” The other Americans in the third round: No. 17 Sloane Stephens and 54th-ranked Jamie Hampton, who also won Thursday, and No. 1 Serena Williams and No. 29 Varvara Lepchenko, who won Wednesday.

USC from Page B1 World Series in 2010 and 2011 and finished as runner-up last season – and has healthy respect for what the program has accomplished. “To watch their toughness, down to the last out, they played their hearts out and beat some awfully good teams – some guys who are in the big leagues now,” Hendrickson said. “To me, they just epitomized the word tough. … They’ve done it right. They’ve been consistent. It is amazing because there is a lot of parity in college baseball.”

If the Gamecocks (39-18) are to keep that streak going against the Billikens (41-19), they will have to shake off a late slump. USC has lost four of its last five games, including going 0-for-2 in the Southeastern Conference Tournament. Holbrook, in his first season as USC’s coach, said his team understands it will have to improve its play to keep the streak alive and advance out of the regional. “Certainly there is no guarantee, but our fans create a great home-field environment for us,” Holbrook

said. “I think our players are very comfortable playing in Carolina Stadium. It is where we practice every day. They’re comfortable and confident because they’ve won a lot of game both in regular and postseason. … That being said, that doesn’t guarantee we’re going to win (Friday) night.” Senior left-hander Nolan Belcher (7-5, 2.30 ERA) will start for the Gamecocks. Saint Louis will counter with right-hander Clay Smith (8-2, 3.76). USC closer Tyler Webb, who has 16 saves and a 1.24 ERA, was selected a thirdteam All-American by Collegiate Baseball.

CLEMSON from Page B1 added motivation,” Brittle said. “At this point, every game is big, it doesn’t matter who you’re playing. You’ve just got to get the win before we can worry about who we’re facing on Saturday.” Getting the ball for Clemson is freshman Zack Erwin, a lanky lefthander promoted from the bullpen within the past month. In five starts, he’s 3-1 with a 3.90 ERA, including a game performance against topranked North Carolina in the ACC Tournament. “We’ve been trying to build his maturity and confidence level up, and he was doing a real good job for us in relief, so we decided to give Zack an opportunity,” Leggett said. “He’s deceptive, he’s got a feel for a breaking ball, changeup and fast-

ball. Holds runners on pretty well, which is a good thing (vs. Liberty.).” Liberty is 7-12 against major-conference foes this season, losing two of three in a season-opening series at then-No. 5-ranked South Carolina in mid-February. Liberty actually leads the all-time series with Clemson 3-2, though they haven’t met since 2000. “I’m not overlooking them, I know that. I don’t know who else is, but I’m not,” Leggett said. “I’m immensely concerned with the (Liberty) game. That’s where my thought is. “The best thing that can help us is if we lock in on what we have to do to win, and not worry about where we are or who we’re playing — try to take out all the outside distractions.”

SPORTS

USC, Clemson pick up â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;14 commits (Southeastern) in all of college football,â&#x20AC;? he said. Young is the fourth commitment for USCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;14 class. Two visits down and one more to go for running back Nick Chubb of Cedartown, Ga., before he makes his decision. Chubb was at UGA last Friday and at Auburn on Saturday. He was to visit USC earlier this week. Chubb has developed a good relationship with Gamecock recruiter GA Mangus and has a good feeling for the Gamecocks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were one of the first teams I wanted to go to when I was younger,â&#x20AC;? Chubb said earlier this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It (the decision) will come down to where I feel most comfortable and where I think it will fit me best for my future and what I want to accomplish in life.â&#x20AC;? Chubb will make his announcement at his school. Tight end Kevin Crosby Jr. of BambergEhrhardt High is set to announce his college choice at noon on Saturday. Crosby Jr. had his list down to USC, Clemson, UNC and Alabama, but his father and head coach, Kevin Crosby, said Florida is now a factor. USC recruiter Everette Sands attended Crosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring game and Clemson recruiter Marion Hobby was also by for a recent visit. Coach Crosby previously named USC as the favorite for his son, but a favorite is not as clear to him now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;South Carolina has made a great push, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where that stands,â&#x20AC;? Coach Crosby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alabama made a big push here at the end. Clemson is trying to make a push, and North Carolina is definitely trying to make a push. North Carolina has made the biggest push.â&#x20AC;? LB Kendall Joseph of Belton Honea-Path High will announce his decision on June 17 and is down to Clemson, Louisville and Duke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m visiting Clemson on June 8,â&#x20AC;? Joseph said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have already visited Louisville and Duke.â&#x20AC;? Louisville was the first to offer Joseph, and Duke has made a strong push for the Upstate product. Last season, Joseph had 129 tackles with six tackles for loss, adding eight offensive touchdowns. There is no leader. Good things usually happen for Auburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recruiting during the annual Big Cat Weekend. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition, completed on Saturday. included Gaffney Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shaq Davidson among the visitors. Davidson did not

have Auburn in his top six before the visit, but he came out of the visit saying the Tigers and Gamecocks are now tied at the top of his list with no favorite. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say an order, but them two are at top,â&#x20AC;? Davidson told AuburnSports.com. He included Louisiana State, Ohio State, UNC and Florida State in his revised top six. Auburn and FSU replaced UGA and Notre Dame on his list. Davidson has never said when he will make his decision, but he does plan to make more visits before doing so. Auburn did gain a commitment from a USC and Clemson target on Saturday in defensive back Nicholas Ruffin of Phil Atlanta. KORNBLUT Wide receiver Terry Googer of Atlanta tweeted out an updated top five list of USC, UNC, Mississippi, Miami and Vanderbilt on Friday. Googer added there is no order to his top five.. Googer last visited USC in April, and he plans to visit several schools this summer and make a decision before his season. Defensive end Kendal Vickers of Havelock, N.C., will wear orange, not garnet, and will get to the SEC sooner than he expected after developments last week led to his opportunity to join the Tennessee football program. Vickers was a late qualifier and had planned to attend Georgia Military Junior College this semester and then transfer to USC in January. The Gamecocks didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have room to add recruiting corner

lemson and South Carolina picked up commitments for their 2014 football recruiting classes this week, Clemson picking up linebacker Korie Rogers on Wednesday and USC picking up offensive lineman Malik Young on Tuesday, Rogers (6-feet-2-inches, 210 pounds) of Buford, Ga., committed to Clemson following an unofficial visit with the Tigers with his family. He announced his commitment on Twitter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am officially committed to Clemson University,â&#x20AC;? Rogers tweeted. Some of his other offers were Georgia, Auburn, Penn State, North Carolina, Florida and Tennessee. He narrowed his list to Clemson and UGA before making the call for Clemson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I decided to commit because of just how well I fit into the university,â&#x20AC;? Rogers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The atmosphere in football is incredible. Clemson is a program that is on the rise and I want to be a part of that.â&#x20AC;? Rogers is regarded as one of the top outside linebacker prospects in the country. Last season, he had 100 tackles and 12 quarterback sacks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a person who is definitely going to stay out of trouble, stay on top of their grades and will be there for his teammates,â&#x20AC;? Rogers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a decent linebacker on the field.â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the eighth commitment for Clemsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;14 class and the first on the defensive side. Young (6-4, 295) is from Woodmont High School in Piedmont and committed to USC while on an unofficial visit with his parents and his head coach. The Gamecocks offered Young last week and after that there was little doubt in his mind he would join the Gamecocks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like being around my family and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close to home,â&#x20AC;? Young said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the team. (USC OL) Coach (Shawn) Elliott is a great coach, and I love the Gamecocks.â&#x20AC;? Young played tackle last season, but will shift to guard this season. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s projected as a guard with the Gamecocks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My strengths are pulling and how fast I am for my size,â&#x20AC;? Young said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have good technique and I have good feet and good balance.â&#x20AC;? Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other offer is from South Carolina State, so the chance to play at USC is very exciting to him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get to play in the greatest conference

him to their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;13 class. But the Volunteers did and they moved in on Vickers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They watched my film and wanted to get me down to take an official visit, and I did that,â&#x20AC;? Vickers said on Friday from the Tennessee campus in Knoxville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I fell in love with everything. The people are great down here. The facilities are awesome. They are up and coming, I think. Everything just fell into place.â&#x20AC;? Vickers said he contacted USC recruiter Deke Adams and explained the situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They understand and they wished me all good luck,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a class act. I wanted to do it the right way because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done everything good for me. They gave me a chance to get looks from a(n NCAA Division I) DI college and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thank them enough for it. I will always have a special place in my heart, but I had to do whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for me and I think I did that.â&#x20AC;? Recruiters from Clemson, Ohio State and UNC were in Latta last week to check in on OL Donnell Stanley. Stanley will make another visit to USC in June, according to his adviser, Chris German. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t toured the entire campus yet, so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do that in June,â&#x20AC;? German said. Stanley will go to Alabama for a halfday camp on July 14 and to Ohio State on July 26. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also going to Ole Miss and FSU in July, and German feels heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll visit Clemson as well. Stanley will start to narrow his list this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say USC, Clemson, Alabama, North Carolina, Ohio State, Ole Miss and Florida State will be on

the short list,â&#x20AC;? German said. There is no favorite, and Stanley plans to have a decision in September or October. This spring, USC was by twice to watch baseball playoff games and Clemson was in for a practice. UNC, LSU, Central Florida, Ohio State and Alabama also were through the school. USC was the strong early leader for defensive lineman Poona Ford of Hilton Head High, and while the Gamecocks are still very much in the hunt, at least three others have caught the fancy of the talented run stuffer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there are still a lot of schools still in play,â&#x20AC;? said Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach, BJ Payne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The top three heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s listing are Tennessee, Ohio State and Louisville. A lot of people ask me does that mean South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think so.â&#x20AC;? Ford plans to camp at USC, Ohio State, Tennessee and other places this summer. USC was Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first major offer and that put the Gamecocks in the early lead, but exposure to these other programs has given Ford more options to consider. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know when he went to Tennessee he really enjoyed their staff,â&#x20AC;? Payne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know he fell in love with their facilities. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always had Ohio State in his top five, even before Ohio State offered. He went to camp there last year. If you look at his top three or four schools, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all produced multiple defensive linemen, very good defensive linemen. Ohio State, Tennessee, and South Carolina, those three schools are top of the line as far as defensive linemen.â&#x20AC;? Payne said Ford is fo-

cused the most on USC, Ohio State, Tennessee, Louisville, Arizona, Kansas State, North Carolina State and Toledo. Payne said Florida could become a factor with an offer. Payne would like Ford to decide before his senior season, but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect that. Ford has told him he wants to take some official visits and go from there. DL Peyton Newell of Hiawatha, Kan., will release his top five list on Saturday. Right now, he has only four spots to fill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;South Carolina is definitely in that top five,â&#x20AC;? Newell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a few in mind, but I want to make sure I keep in-state priorities.â&#x20AC;? USCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mangus recently visited Newell and plans to return before the contact period ends.â&#x20AC;?South Carolina is definitely a school Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m interested in,â&#x20AC;? Newell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been there since the beginning of the recruiting process. I was comfortable around the players (when Newell visited Columbia).â&#x20AC;? Newell said USC will get one of his visits this summer. He said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a clear No. 1 right now, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;South Carolina is in the mix to be No. 1.â&#x20AC;? He will make his decision before his football season. Other schools that have been high up on his list include UGA, Southern California, Nebraska and Kansas. USC offered DL Abu Lamin of Fort Scott JC in Kansas last week. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a native of North Carolina and has strong interest in the Gamecocks. He also holds offers from Arkansas, Auburn, Arizona State, Nebraska, Southern Mississippi and Tennessee.

SOUTH CAROLINA DISTRIBUTION NOTICE: SSB478

SUMTER AREA RESIDENTS CASH IN: Pictured above and protected by armed guards are the overstuffed Vault Bags that everyone is trying to get. It’s hard to tell how much these Overstuffed bags containing 10 Vault Bags full of money could be worth someday. That’s because each Vault Bag is known to contain over 100 U.S. Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the early 1900s.

State zip codes determine who gets free Silver coins Bags of U.S. Gov’t issued coins loaded with a small fortune are up for grabs as thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the money; now any resident of South Carolina who finds their zip code listed below gets to claim the bags of money for themselves and keep all the valuable coins found inside by covering the Vault Bag fee within the next 2 days SOUTH CAROLINA - The phone lines are ringing off the hook. That’s because for the next 2 days Vault Bags containing valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins are actually being handed over to Sumter area residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication. “It’s hard to tell how much these Vault Bags could be worth. That’s because after they were loaded with over 100 U.S. Gov’t issued coins including: Silver, scarce, highly collectible and circulating coins the dates were unsearched and the bags were sealed for good. But, we do know that some of the coins date clear back to the early 1900s. Any one of these Vault Bags could be worth a small fortune,” said Timothy J. Shissler, Chief Numismatist for the private World Reserve. The only thing residents need to do is find their zip code on the Distribution List printed in today’s publication. If their zip code is on the list, they need to immediately call the National Claim Hotline before the 2-day order deadline ends. Everyone who does is being given the 90% pure Silver Walking Liberty coin for free just by covering the Vault Bags each loaded with over 100 U.S. Gov’t issued coins for only $99 each as long as they call before the deadline ends. Since this advertising announcement can’t stop dealers and collectors from hoarding all the valuable coins they can get their hands on, the World Reserve had to set a strict limit of ten Vault Bags per resident. “Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but those who get in on this now will be the really smart ones. Just think what some of these coins could be worth someday,” said Shissler. Each Vault Bag is loaded with a small fortune containing in part, highly sought after valuable collector coins dating clear back to the 1900s including a 90% pure Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar, an Eisenhower Dollar, some of the last ever minted U.S. Dollars, Kennedy Half Dollars, Silver Mercury Dimes, rarely seen Liberty ‘V’ Nickels, nearly 100 year old Buffalo Nickels and circulating U.S. Gov’t issued nickels, dimes and quarter dollars. “We’re bracing for all the calls because there are just hours left for residents to get the Silver coins free,” he said. So, Sumter area residents lucky enough to find their zip code listed in today’s publication need to immediately call the National Claim Hotlines before the 2-day deadline ends to get the Silver coins free. If lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered.

FREE: WALKING LIBERTY RED BOOK COLLECTOR VALUE $22 to $325

VALUABLE: 90% PURE SILVER

ENLARGED TO SHOW DETAIL

How to claim the bags of U.S. Gov’t issued coins: Read the important information listed below about claiming the Vault Bags. Then call the National Claim Hotline before the 2-day deadline ends at: 1-888-282-6742 Who gets to claim the bags of money: Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the money. Now Sumter area residents who find the first two digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication and beat the 2-day deadline get to claim the bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside. I keep calling and can’t get through: That’s because each Vault Bag is guaranteed to contain a free Silver Walking Liberty coin and just that one coin alone could be worth up to $325 in collector value. So thousands of residents are calling to claim as many Vault Bags as they can get before they’re all gone. In fact, since each Vault Bag fee has been reduced to just $ 99 nearly everyone is claiming at least three bags. So if lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. How much are the Vault Bags worth: It’s hard to tell how much these Vault Bags could be worth. That’s because after they were loaded with over 100 U.S. Gov’t issued coins including: Silver, scarce, highly collectible and circulating coins the dates were unsearched and the bags were sealed for good. But we do know that some of the coins date back to the early 1900s. That means any one of these Vault Bags could be worth a small fortune. So you better believe at just $ 99 the Vault Bag fee is a real steal since the free Silver Walking Liberty coin alone could be worth up to $325 in collector value. Are the Silver Walking Liberty coins really Free: Yes. All Sumter area residents who beat the 2-day deadline are instantly being awarded a Silver Walking Liberty coin free with each Vault Bag they claim. Why is the Vault Bag fee so low: Because thousands of U.S. residents have missed the deadline to claim the money it’s being held in limbo at the vaults of the World Reserve and it has to be moved out in the next 2 days. That means the money is up for grabs and now any resident who finds the first two digits of their zip code on the Distribution List below gets to claim the bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside. Each Vault Bag fee was set at $149, but residents who beat the 2-day deadline cover the reduced Vault Bag fee of just $ 99 as long as they call the National Claim Hotline before the deadline ends at: 1-888-282-6742.

Adult tree house fascination hits Animal Planet BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Has the adult tree house phenomenon passed you by? “Treehouse Masters” (10 p.m., Animal Planet, TVPG) arrives just in time to remedy that. Don’t go thinking of Bart and Milhouse from “The Simpsons” hidden away with their comic books in a cobbled-together, leafy retreat. The modern tree house movement, like most things having to do with conspicuous consumption, puts the accent on big, ostentatious and fully appointed. Pete Nelson, a former homebuilder from New Jersey, has found a lucrative career building custom tree houses from his headquarters in the deeply forested Pacific Northwest. The first customers we meet on “Masters” are from Waco, Texas, not exactly known for shady forests. But after a search of their extensive property, he finds a place for a 750-square-foot tree house with an entertainment center, featuring a flat-screen television. And air conditioning, I presume. It’s not entirely clear why this series appears on Animal Planet and not, say, HGTV. It comes

after a helping of “Ultimate Treehouses” (8 p.m., TV-PG) and “Tanked” (9 p.m., TVPG), the series that extols excess in aquarium construction. • The new series “Pregnant & Dating” (10 p.m., WE) goes out of its way to push buttons of propriety. The series features five professional women who don’t let a little thing like having a child get in the way of finding Mr. Right. Of course, first they have to find a Mr. Right who is cool with women who appear to be carrying another man’s child — Mr. Wrong? Or Mr. NoLonger-Right? • “Bridezillas” (8 p.m., WE, TV-14) enters its 10th season, followed by an obvious offshoot: “Marriage Boot Camp: Bridezillas” (9 p.m.), offering quickie counseling to couples who’ve recently endured “Bridezilla”-style nuptials. • The 2013 documentary “Richard Pryor: Omit the Logic” (9 p.m., Showtime, TV-MA) profiles the influential comic and his role in transforming comedy during a time of changing attitudes toward race, language and censorship. • The Chiller Network presents “Chilling
