candidate had two minutes to respond to the specific questions. The most popular topics at the forum seemed to be the local school system and jobs. The most crowded field of candi-

2 jazz bands set to share Patriot Hall BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com Sumter Community Concert Band Jazz Band and the Sumter High School Jazz Band continue their tradition Tuesday of presenting a joint concert to end the concert season and the school year. Admission is free. They’ll share the stage of Patriot Hall, 135 Haynsworth St., beginning at 7 p.m. for a concert that mixes big band, classic, modern and contemporary jazz. The curtains will open to the sounds of the SCCB Jazz Band’s theme song, Glenn Miller’s “Moonlight Serenade” and continue with a program of familiar

tunes from the Big Band Era through the hot jazz period and into more contemporary sounds. Miller, a favorite of the band, will also be represented by “A String of Pearls,” composed by Jerry Gray. “It’s the classic arrangement,” said jazz band director and spokesman Rick Mitchum, “and it has a trumpet solo by Robert Berry.” The band will continue with the theme from the TV show “Hawaii Five-0” by Morton Stevens, transcribed and arranged by the band’s Emmett Anglin, who also plays trumpet with the group.

Participants in a recent Clemson Extension workshop construct their rain barrels, which can save rainwater for watering plants and yards. The next class will be offered on May 24.

Conserve water, save money with rain barrel workshop FROM STAFF REPORTS It’s getting warm this spring, and the heat means drying soil, which in turn means wilting plants, increased watering and higher water bills. If you’re looking for a way to keep your landscape lush and green, said Breann Liebermann, water resources agent with Clemson University Cooperative Extension, “plan to attend the ‘Build Your Own Rain Barrel Workshop’ on Tuesday, May 24.” For an investment of $30 and two hours of your time, Liebermann said, “You’ll not only build your own rain barrel to take home, you’ll also learn about actions you can take to better manage water in your home landscape.

“Rainwater harvesting, or collecting rooftop rainwater in a large barrel, is one way to improve water quality,” she said. The rain barrel works by cutting off the flow of water from your roof that can erode your yard. Having a ready supply of fresh water not only supplements your household water, she said, it will “ensure your landscape can thrive this summer.” For those who worry about mosquitoes breeding in standing water, Liebermann said, if they get in, they can. “But the barrels we build have screen on top to keep them out. I also advise folks to use up all the water in their rain barrel every seven days,”

she said. “Mosquitos need about 10 days to lay eggs and for the eggs to hatch.” Liebermann encourages gardeners to attend the Build Your Own Rain Barrel Workshop from 4 to 6 p.m. at 1289 N. Main St., even “if you simply look forward to a night of working with your power tools.” Registration is limited to 15 participants and is required by Tuesday, May 17. Call Clemson Extension at (803) 773-5561 or email Liebermann at blieber@clemson.edu to sign up for the workshop. The $30 program fee includes all the materials needed to build one complete rain barrel and a maintenance manual to take home.

S.C. Republicans attempt unity message at state convention BY MEG KINNARD The Associated Press COLUMBIA — After a bruising primary process, South Carolina Republicans — with one very notable exception — are preaching a message of unity as they rally behind Donald Trump. The state’s party faithful gathered Saturday at their annual convention to select the rest of the state’s delegation to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July. But the state’s top Republican, Gov. Nikki Haley, didn’t even mention Trump’s name during her address to convention at-

tendees, opting instead to go after the Republican-dominated Legislature for spending time and money on projects that benefit themselves and their home districts. Haley — who initially backed Marco Rubio before reluctantly saying she’d support Ted Cruz versus Trump — urged what she called the state’s true Republicans to remain united in their pursuit of conservative ideals. Haley also pledged to veto next week a bill overwhelmingly approved that she says gives an unfair bailout to the state’s farmers in the wake of last fall’s historic flooding.

“I will not support any bailout of any industry over any other industry that suffered in this 1,000-year flood,” Haley told about 500 people gathered at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center. “We do not do bailouts in the state of South Carolina.” Haley’s state-focused message was the outlier at a politically homogeneous and otherwise sedate convention that, until Cruz’s departure from the race, had been anticipated as potentially contentious. But the convention hall was more than half empty, with only about 500 of the nearly 900 seats set

aside for delegates occupied. Some counties sent no delegates at all. At a self-proclaimed “unity breakfast” hosted before the convention, Lt. Gov. Henry McMaster told more than a hundred attendees that the country has an opportunity to make sure Republicans unify behind Donald Trump as their presumptive nominee. “The man is speaking to the heart of the American people,” said McMaster, who was South Carolina’s highest-ranking elected official to back Trump, told the group, standing in front of a banner reading, “Defeat

Hillary! Vote Trump.” ‘’We’re doing the right things in South Carolina, and we can be a model for the country.” Senior Trump adviser Ed Brookover said the campaign appreciated the support from South Carolina and was focused toward the general election. With regard to Haley’s lack of mention of the candidate, Brookover said Trump would “continue to earn the support of the American people” and acknowledged voters who didn’t initially support Trump go through their own “process.”

Nonprofit gets children on the basketball court TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Rod Call knows the signs and can pick them out anywhere, from a rural northwoods forest to a bustling urban center. A bushel basket lashed to a tree. A milk crate with its bottom kicked out. Somewhere close by, Call knows there’s a kid who has the heart for hoops, but probably not the gear, the Traverse City Record-Eagle reported. It takes one to know one: Call, who grew up in Flint, was a milk crate kid, he said. “We lived in a trailer park, and every lot had a spot for a shed. We didn’t have a shed,” Call said. But the shedless concrete slab was to become Call’s basketball court, complete with his own makeshift net made from wood and a milk crate. This court space, and others like it, became a sanctuary for Call, a constant, as his family moved around a lot — too often for organized sports, he said. “Basketball was a comfort; it was consistent,” Call said. “I could just go out and get lost ... and pretend like I was Michael Jordan.” Forward bounce to today. Call runs a Traverse City branding and marketing company out of his home and has rolled out the Milk Crate Basketball nonprofit project to give kids a game-style assist. Call raises money through donations and merchandise sales to get more kids in the game, covering registration fees and buying basketball gear. Area kids need more help than you’d gather from the travel brochures, he said. “I learned that the problem is a lot more widespread than I thought. Traverse City is not just ‘Top 10’ lists, wineries and houses on the bay,” Call said. Janna Deering backs him up. Not all families can afford the district’s pay-to-participate sports and extracurricular programs in the elementary and middle schools, said the director of the Traverse Area Public Schools’ Learning, Enrichment & Athletic Program. Many — about 40 percent — qualify for the free and reduced lunch program, Deering

said. LEAP scholarships pare the price back, but it’s still a challenge for many families. “Even if it’s a $10-registration compared to $40, it can still be ‘an extra,’ especially if you’re worried about buying groceries,” Deering said. Call’s offer to cover registration fees was accepted. Then he asked to do more, Deering said. “Now he’s going way above and beyond,” Deering said. Call now presents young players with new basketballs, warmups and shoes. He pays entry fees when needed, but also helps kids who play informally, alone or pickup with friends. “It doesn’t have to be an organized sport,” said Call, 41, who now plays pickup games twice a week. “It’s time away from electronic devices.” Families contact him through LEAP or the Single MOMM organization. Call gets the sizes and specifications for the player, and then takes his daughter Savannah, 5, shopping for the players. Shoes get special consideration — there’s no better feeling then stepping on the court with high-end, comfortable shoes, he said. “We’re not going cheap on the shoes — it’s Under Armour or Nike,” Call said. Heather Palmer’s son was “shocked” at the amount and quality of the gear Call bought him to prepare for his first basketball team experience at Traverse Heights, she said. “It was great that they were able to help out,” Palmer said, referencing the entry and jersey costs covered by Milk Crate Basketball, plus the gear. “We’re thankful for the help, and hope that we can give back something to someone else.”

5 holdouts fight closure of assisted-living home NEW YORK (AP) — The stately dining room at this once-bustling old-age home has been emptied; its floors ripped up. The tiny general store’s shelves are barren, and the exercise room has gone silent. No one is leafing through the books of the library. All that remains are five women, ages 91 to 101, in the fight of their long lives. Two years after the sale of Prospect Park Residence was announced, nearly all of the assistedliving facility’s 125 residents have long since heeded management’s orders to leave. But five holdouts have refused, challenging the handling of the $76.5 million sale and sparking a web of litigation. Their fight sheds light on the rights of the elderly and the difficulty of transition in life’s twilight. “I think we have that right to do what we want to do,” said 93-year-old Annemarie Mogil, a retired social worker who has remained in her eighth-floor apartment at the home. “I’ve earned my rest. I worked hard. I deserve my peace.” As the building in the trendy Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn emptied, a small band of tenants decided to put up a fight. Local politicians came to their side, and The Legal Aid Society filed suit on their behalf. As the months ticked by, they said management purposely worsened conditions in hopes of convincing THE ASSOCIATED PRESS them to leave. The holdouts said they were being bathed less Annemarie Mogil sits in her bedroom holding the camera she uses to frequently, saw housekeeping scaled back and make photographs from her window at Prospect Park Residence, an central air conditioning cut off in favor of lessassisted living apartment complex for seniors in the Brooklyn boreffective window units.

tampered with. Those moves, opponents of the sale say, were orchestrated by building owner Haysha Deitsch even as he raised fees on the holdouts. He denied it, and in a countersuit against the families of the remaining residents, he called for $50 million in damages for their interference in the sale, “slanderous” allegations and resulting “mental anguish.” In an emailed reply to questions from The Associated Press, Deitsch said he always followed the law, that residents always got outstanding care and he never cut back services. Closing was not an easy choice, he said, but costs became untenable. He portrayed the remaining residents as unable to make decisions on their own and represented by individuals with questionable motivations. “The representatives of those who remain are not negotiating in good faith. They repeatedly have changed their positions and moved the goal post,” Deitsch wrote. “Those representing the remaining residents are acting out of greed and malice and appear unwilling to offer any compromise or reasonable position.” Deitsch said residents’ complaints should really be with the Legislature and state regulators. New York City Councilman Brad Lander also sees lax state oversight, though he isn’t letting Deitsch off the hook. “He is evil. He is acting in a way that I think is sociopathic. But the state health department has essentially taken the side of the sociopath,” Lander said.

Did artist Prince’s call for help get right response? CHICAGO (AP) — Dramatic details emerging about how a California doctor reacted to a desperate call for help from Prince’s staff a day before the musician was found dead have drawn criticism from experts in addiction medicine. Prince’s representatives contacted Dr. Howard Kornfeld of California on April 20, with the musician’s knowledge, seeking help for Prince’s addiction to painkillers, Kornfeld’s attorney, William Mauzy, said Wednesday. Kornfeld wasn’t able to travel immediately to Minnesota, so he arranged for his son, Andrew, to travel instead via an overnight flight, Mauzy said. Andrew Kornfeld was carrying a small amount of the prescription drug buprenorphine. Mauzy said Andrew Kornfeld planned to give that drug to a Minnesota doctor who was scheduled to see Prince. Andrew Kornfeld — described as a pre-med student — was among the first to discover Prince unresponsive on April 21, and he called 911.

reason to bring it from California, he said. “I assume this was done be-

cause of the wish for anonymity, but that doesn’t excuse it,” Willenbring said. “It could well

have been illegal for his son to be transporting medication that was not prescribed for

him. ... I think there’s a clear legal infraction there, no matter what.”

WHAT IS BUPRENORPHINE? Buprenorphine is a long-acting opioid similar to methadone that is among “the most commonly prescribed medications for the treatment of opioid use disorders in the U.S.,” said Dr. Joshua Lee of New York University School of Medicine. It is more readily available than methadone treatment. Any doctor who has completed a brief training can offer it, including primary care doctors. “As a Schedule 3 controlled substance, buprenorphine is taken by the patient at home, obtained from retail pharmacies, and managed like other prescription controlled substances,” Lee said.

WAS IT LEGAL TO SEND IT WITH A NON-PHYSICIAN? Howard Kornfeld is not listed as a licensed physician in Minnesota, and his son is not a physician at all. That raises legal questions in the mind of Dr. Mark Willenbring, a former director of treatment research at National Institute for Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. “First of all, it’s unethical to prescribe a medication for someone you haven’t seen. It’s also unethical to prescribe across state lines if the patient is residing in another state. And if you’re not licensed here, you’re practicing medicine in Minnesota without a license, and that’s illegal,” Willenbring said. Willenbring is founder and CEO of Alltyr Clinic in St. Paul, which offers addiction treatment including buprenorphine. The drug is available in Minnesota, so there was no

Police file murder charges in shooting spree deaths ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) — A federal security officer is now facing multiple murder charges in a shooting spree across three Maryland parking lots that left three people dead. Court records show 62-yearold Eulalio Tordil of Adelphi was formally charged Saturday in Montgomery County with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder, along with four firearms charges. He will make an initial court appearance Monday. Tordil had already been charged with first-degree murder in Prince George’s County for the shooting death of his estranged wife, Gladys, in a high-school parking lot Thursday. Hers was the first in a string of shootings Thursday and Friday in the Maryland suburbs of Washington. The charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. Maryland abolished the death penalty in 2013. The shooting spree began with a domestic slaying in an unusually public place, and comparisons to the 2002 D.C. sniper shootings leapt immediately to the minds of area residents. Tordil’s arrest took

place just steps away from a Michaels craft store that was the first target of snipers John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo. Police say Tordil’s spree began when he shot and killed his estranged wife — who had obtained a protective order from him — as she waited to pick up her children in the parking lot of a High Point High School in Beltsville. He also shot and wounded a bystander who tried to intervene, police said. Detectives worked through the night, trying to use cellphone technology to pinpoint Tordil’s location. But they weren’t able to catch him. The next day, according to police, he struck again, this time apparently choosing his victims at random. On Friday morning, police said, Tordil shot three people outside Montgomery Mall, an upscale mall in Bethesda that sits off the Capital Beltway. One man died and two others were wounded, one of them critically. Then, he drove to a supermarket several miles away in the Aspen Hill section of Silver Spring, where he fatally shot a woman who was sitting in her car, police said.

Trump’s proposal for national debt would send rates soaring WASHINGTON (AP) — In the event that the U.S. economy crashed, Donald Trump has floated a recovery plan based on his own experience with corporate bankruptcy: Pay America’s creditors less than full value on the U.S. Treasurys they hold. Experts see it as a reckless idea that would send interest rates soaring, derail economic growth and undermine confidence in the world’s most trusted financial asset. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee suggested in a phone interview Thursday with CNBC that he would stimulate growth through borrowing. If trouble arose, he added, he could get investors to accept reduced payments for their Treasury holdings. Trump later clarified that comment to say he would offer to buy the bonds back at a discount from investors in hopes of refinancing them at lower rates. “I would borrow, knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal,” Trump told CNBC. Such a move, never before attempted by the U.S. government, would likely spook investors whose trust in Treasury notes keeps global financial markets operating. The need to refinance would likely cause interest rates to spike as investors demanded a greater return for the perceived risks of non-payment. More tax dollars would have to go toward repaying the debt. Many investors would shift their money elsewhere. And the economy could endure a traumatic blow.

“It seems Trump is planning to try to run the country like one of his failed business ventures, and that does not bode well,” said Megan Greene, chief economist at Manulife. The move would also end a policy introduced during the presidency of George Washington — and celebrated in the Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway musical “Hamilton” — to pay full face value on the debts incurred by the country. The government’s unfailing payments of its debt have long pleased investors and supported the economy because the country can borrow at lower rates than it otherwise could. “Defaulting on our debt would cause creditors to rightly question the ‘full faith’ commitment we make,” said Tony Fratto, a former Treasury Department official in George W. Bush’s administration. “This isn’t a serious idea — it’s an insane idea.” Trump has touted his acumen for restructuring four of his companies under bankruptcy laws. When Trump Hotels & Casinos finished a 2004 bankruptcy reorganization, it cut $500 million off $1.8 billion in debt and reduced the interest rate to 8 percent from 15 percent. “I don’t think it’s a failure; it’s a success,” Trump told The Associated Press at the time. But countries function differently from businesses. Nations usually print their own money and service their debt through taxes, unlike corporations that can sell off assets and equity

stakes to manage debt or close up shop. Interest rates would spike if a government refused to pay what it owed as investors priced in the risk of default and became resistant toward lending.

U.S. airlines enlist travelers to cut security lines BY SCOTT MAYEROWITZ AP Airlines Writer NEW YORK — U.S. airlines have been pressing the government to act to reduce the intolerably long security lines at the nation’s airports. Now, they’re even asking passengers for help by sharing their frustration on social media. Lines during peak hours at some airports have topped 90 minutes. The airlines already are warning customers to arrive at the airport two hours in advance and are fearful the situation will only get worse with a record number of travelers expected this summer. Earlier this week, the Transportation Security Administration said it would increase staffing at security checkpoints and boost the number of bomb-sniffing dogs to make the lines move more quickly. The agency also is asking Congress for more money to hire additional screeners and pay existing ones overtime. Both sides have encouraged travelers to enroll in TSA’s expedited screening program called PreCheck. But the airlines also want travelers to do something that comes more naturally: complain. Airlines for America, the industry’s trade group, just launched a website called iHateTheWait.com, encouraging fliers to post photos of the lines on Twitter and Instagram along with the hashtag #iHateTheWait. Presumably this will make Congress more aware of the

NATION BRIEF FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS

Baby box program promotes safe sleeping PHILADELPHIA — Doctors in Philadelphia hope to lower the city’s high infant mortality rate by distributing baby boxes that encourage safe sleeping. The cardboard boxes are lined with a mattress and function like a bassinet. They’re meant to discourage parents from sleeping with their babies, which could cause accidental suffocation. Temple University Hospital plans to give out 3,000 boxes during the next year to every woman who delivers there. The program started this week. The hospital serves a low-income neighborhood where families don’t always have adequate resources to care for newborns. The boxes also include clothing, diapers and educational materials. Temple officials say this is the largest such effort by any academic health system in the U.S., though that could not immediately be confirmed. It’s based on a successful initiative in Finland.

problem — and let fellow travelers know what they’re in for when they get to the airport. The group’s spokeswoman, Jean Medina, said the campaign is “raising awareness of the issue and serving as crowd-sourced (wait time) information.” While the number of travelers is on the rise, there are fewer agents to screen them. The number of front-line screeners was cut by 10 percent in the past three years, based on the assumption that travelers would enroll in PreCheck. They did not. The airline trade group, which represents Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Hawaiian Airlines, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines, said on the iHateTheWait website that engaging in the social media campaign will “help cut wait times for everyone who flies.” TSA spokesman Michael England would not comment about the site but said TSA’s goal is to keep all passengers safe and suggests that passengers get to the airport two hours early for domestic flights.

Train your brain MORNINGSIDE

aby boomers are hitting retirement age and wanting to stay youthful and active. Many are searching for supplements and activities that will help. While aging is inevitable, we can take measures to age gracefully. And it’s not just physiMissy cal aging that Corrigan we can improve; it is the mental aging as well. The brain controls the body so it’s important not to neglect training the brain to improve your overall quality of life. Recent studies show that physical movement combined with mental tasks such as memory recalling or verbalizing thoughts can strengthen, improve or even change some brain regions. An example would be sitting in a chair and alternate leg lifts for one minute while you recall telephone numbers or spell your name backwards. The brain has the remarkable ability to change and adapt, but sitting and performing mental games alone does not provide the same benefit as performing movements during mental tasks. Even going for a walk and having conversations with a partner is just as effective or cooking in the kitchen while talking on the phone. Research has confirmed links between food, aging and brain health. With approximately $30 billion dollars a year spent on supplements, people are look-

ing to make improvements. Specific nutrients help protect against certain chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and dementia. Individuals are trying to receive the benefits of these nutrients when the food is not available or they do not consume that particular food. Foods such as eggs, orange vegetables, fruits, legumes, flaxseed, whole grains, olive oil, leafy greens, yogurt and poultry are among the superfoods, or health promoting foods, for getting the necessary protective nutrients. Eating these nutrient dense foods on a regular basis can improve memory, recognition, brain size and brain cell communication. It’s important to remember that the brain should be treated like a muscle, so it must be trained and nourished properly. While we cannot change the fact that we age, we can definitely change how we age.

Emma and Noah continue to be tops for baby names WASHINGTON (AP) — When it comes to baby names, Emma and Noah reign supreme. And don’t name your daughter Isis. For the second year in a row, Emma and Noah top the annual list of top baby names in the U.S., according to the Social Security Administration. That’s the third year on top for Noah and the second in a row for Emma, which was also No. 1 in 2008. The administration released its annual list of top baby names Friday, and the top five names for girls and boys in 2015 remained unchanged from the previous year. Noah was followed by Liam, Mason, Jacob and William. Emma

was followed by Olivia, Sophia, Ava and Isabella. Ava and Isabella switched spots from 2014, with Ava climbing to No. 4. One major change was the girls’ name Isis, which had remained steadily in the middle of the pack of the country’s top 1,000 names for the last 15 years. In 2015, after the name had emerged as an acronym for the extremist group Islamic State, it dropped completely off the list. That’s a dramatic shift, says Laura Wattenberg, baby name expert and founder of BabynameWizard.com. “It’s actually quite rare for a name to be eliminated by issues in the news,” she says.

FORUM FROM PAGE A1 and education, District 50 candidates seemed to agree that changes need to be made. Tom Drayton, D-Bishopville, said Lee County has a high unemployment rate and can’t attract industries. “We’ve had seven industries come to check out our area, but when they looked at our education system, they left,” he said. “These industries are not looking to send their children to private schools.” Drayton said something needs to be done about the public school system. He proposed to continue teaching the college-bound students in the regular school environment. He said a system of vocational schools can be set up for students with serious behavioral issues who “cannot learn.” Drayton also proposed creating a tutoring system with colleges in

which students from those colleges would mentor and tutor the children. “We’re not going to get jobs in this county, until we fix the education system,” he said. Will Wheeler, D-Bishopville, said that the state is at a crossroads when it comes to fixing funding for the education system. “We may have in the next year or two, equitable funding for all school districts,” he said. Wheeler said jobs is another main issue. “There are so many people who live here who want jobs here,” he said. “It’s essential that we find out what our niche is job wise and direct something toward that. If we can start tailoring high school students to work training, attaining jobs will be easier.” Demoine Kinney, D-Bishopville, said another main issue is improving the road system throughout the state. “We need to get the $4.2 billion to fix our state’s

SUNDAY, MAY 8, 2016 said to improve the quality of life the education system needs to be “fully funded.” “The House is still hundreds of millions of dollars short for improving education statewide,” Alston said. “Bringing jobs can also be done with assistance in funding from the Department of Commerce that makes a lot of heavy funding toward industry.” Crystal K. Cunningham, DRembert, an evangelist, said there needs to be a positive representative who knows about the school system who will stand up and let people’s voices be heard regarding education. Cunningham said many problems, such as violence in the community, are being created by young men who are “craving attention.” “We’ve to get out to the bottom line issue, why they are craving that attention,” she said. “There also needs be more community policing. If you here a gunshot or suspicious activity, let your voice be heard. We cannot sit

roads,” Kinney said. “We need permanent fixes instead of Band-Aids. I will work to help get adequate resources that departments need to get the job done.” Kinney said that from the time he and his wife moved here, they’ve been working on improving the community. The couple started The Vertical Lounge and Christian Cafe in downtown Bishopville, besides being a pastor in the community. Keith Johnson, D-Lamar, said that jobs and education are important. “The way we can start to fix our education system is have more parent involvement,” Johnson said. “I challenge churches, neighbors, everyone to make a difference in a child’s life. Most importantly, when we get companies here, we need them to have a training process within our schools to have qualified workers. We need to work together and get everyone involved.” Brian Alston, D-Rembert,

BANDS FROM PAGE A1 “We’ve wanted to play this for a long time,” said jazz band director and spokesman Mitchum. “It’s a lot of fun, and it’s a theme almost everyone knows.” During the Big Band Era, the groups typically featured female and/or male vocalists, who sat on stage beside the bands, getting up to sing on several numbers. Many went on to successful solo careers in music and film. In that tradition, the jazz band will present soprano Betsy Ridgeway singing “Sentimental Journey,” made famous by the Les Brown Orchestra, also known as “Les Brown and His Band of Renown.” Dr. Bob Lee will have the alto saxophone solo on “Body and Soul,” a jazz tune introduced in 1930 that became so popular that by the end of the year, it had been recorded by a dozen different groups. It was repopularized by Tony Bennett and the late Amy Winehouse just five years ago on their duet album. Duke Ellington’s “Take the A

Mitchum said. “He wrote some amazing music.” Among Mancini’s contributions in the SCCB Jazz Band’s medley are “Days of Wine and Roses,” “Moon River” and the “Pink Panther” theme, all nominated for various awards. “Days of Wine and Roses” and “Moon River” both won best song Academy Awards. Mancini was also nominated for 10 additional Oscars, winning for “Victor Victoria,” and he received a nomination for scoring the film, “The Glenn Miller Story” in 1954. The concert finale is “A Blues Brothers Revue,” a medley of four tunes “with some surprises,” Mitchum said. The Sumter High School Jazz Band, directed by Tori Stoudenmier, will take the stage for the second half of the concert. Their repertoire leans more heavily toward current jazz, lending even more diversity to the concert. The SCCB Jazz Band will also present its annual Big Band dance on Saturday, June 4, at the Lakewood High School Fine Arts Performing Center.

COMMENTARY

Farewell to the grand old party

ASHINGTON — It wasn’t precisely an act of moral courage, but House Speaker Paul Ryan’s comment that he’s not ready to support presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump was at least ... something. Whether it’s a start or a finish remains to be revealed, but it would seem that we’re witnessing the beginning of the end. To wit: A Republican friend, who has abandoned her behind-the-scenes work of getting conservatives elected, called me recently to express her condolences. “I feel sorry for you,” she said, “because you (given your job) can’t ignore the collapse of Western civilization.” Now a renegade from the nominating process, she is like so many others disillusioned by the Trump movement Kathleen who’ve Parker slipped the noose of politics in search of meaning beyond the Beltway. But Trump’s triumph, though most insiders thought it impossible, should have surprised no one. He was inevitable not because he was The One but because he’s a shrewd deal maker with deep pockets and unencumbered by a moral compass. Both his platform and style were crafted to fit the findings of extensive polling he commissioned before announcing his run. In other words, Trump didn’t write a book you loved; he wrote the book you said you’d love. If people were outraged about immigration, why then he’d build a wall. If they were upset about manufacturing jobs lost overseas, well fine, he’d kill the trade agreements. Trump was never about principle but about winning, the latter of which he kept no secret. What this means, of course, is that his supporters have no idea whom they nominated. He simply paid to read their minds and then invented a drug that would light up the circuit boards corresponding to pleasure and reward. “Believe me,” he crooned to the roaring crowed. “I’m not there right now,” said the speaker, crossing himself in the sign of the cross. Poor Ryan — a man of conscience in an unconscionable time. He wants to support the Republican nominee, but, at the end of the day, he has to answer to a higher authority. Trump, the party’s standard bearer, isn’t bearing the standard, Ryan said. But what Ryan expressed as the basis for a desired meeting of the minds isn’t about those standards, except the hope that Trump will behave better in

the future. You know, act presidential and all that. Otherwise, Ryan is standing by the phone to hear that Trump will unify the party. How, pray tell? What would satisfy the Ryans of the party? For Trump to say, Hey, I was just kidding? The problem, as with all relationships, is that certain words, once expressed, can’t be taken back. No amount of backtracking can erase memories of what Trump really thought and said in a particular moment. It isn’t only that his wildly conceived and frequently revised positions are at odds with those of leveler heads, but Trump has embarrassed those who can still be embarrassed. Among those with either the gumption or nothing to lose by expressing no-support for Trump are both George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush. Neither will endorse the Republican nominee. Laura Bush, a consistent voice of sanity, recently hinted at a “Women in the World” conference that she’d rather see Hillary Clinton as president than Trump. This is utterly treasonous to most Republicans. Not only is Clinton a Clinton, notwithstanding her Rodham-ness, but the next president likely will select up to four Supreme Court justices. Republicans magically think that at least Trump would pick good justices. But upon what shred of fact or fiction do they base this assumption? Still other Republicans are expressing disapproval by vowing not to attend the party convention in July. These include the last two GOP presidential nominees, Mitt Romney and John McCain, though McCain is on record saying he’ll support Trump, which can be viewed as loyal or merely sad. The “sads” have it. McCain seemingly has forgiven Trump’s remark that he was a war hero only because he was captured. “I like people who weren’t captured,” said the anti-hero who managed to avoid service and once compared his navigation of the sexually risky 1960s to “sort of like the Vietnam era.” This is the man who would become commander in chief. Meanwhile, we’re told, the party that adopted Trump without really knowing him is suffering an identity crisis and facing a moment of truth. Phooey. The GOP began digging its own grave years ago and dropped one foot in when McCain selected Sarah Palin as his running mate. With Trump’s almost-certain nomination, the other foot has followed.

COMMENTARY

Help a good man out, and don’t forget ‘Yo Mama’

ince 1993, Benjamin Bailey has positively affected the lives of thousands of Sumter children. When the native New Yorker arrived here to run Sumter’s Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club, he embraced this community and this community embraced him. He began his Graham work proOsteen viding a safe place for young people to go after school, where they studied, worked on projects, played sports and learned valuable life lessons from him. The club coordinated trips to all sorts of places in South Carolina, especially during the long summer months, and for many children it became their first time ever venturing outside of Sumter County. The impact of his work for more than 21 years at the Boys and Girls Club has been substantial, and when he retired last year he immediately began working on new projects designed to help area young people develop discipline at an early age and begin to understand that there’s a much bigger world out there with lots of possibilities through education. Ben has spent his life helping others, especially children, and now it’s time for us to help him out. In the past couple of weeks, he’s had some health problems that have required hospitalization and involve some ongoing rehabilitation. An account in his name will be in place this week at First Citizens Bank in Sumter, and it’s designed to accept donations on his behalf. I encourage everyone who knows Ben — especially the many former students who have benefitted from his

as her 3-month-old baby daughter. She came back to Mayesville and told her minister father they had to do something. He agreed it was a worthy cause but questioned their small church being able to raise the $22,000 minimum to sponsor the program locally. “We can’t, but God can,” this daughter assured her dad. Since that time, two Mobile Packs have made a huge impact in 2014 and 2015. 1,128 volunteers packed 219,888 meals, feeding 602 children a daily meal for a year. A small group of passionate individuals has led in this effort. At the conclusion of last year’s event, the

He’s a good man and has been a good friend to me and many others here in Sumter, and he deserves whatever help we can offer at this time. Just drop a check by any First Citizens branch made out to Benjamin Bailey, or drop it by The Sumter Item and we’ll take it from there. Thanks for your support of one of Sumter’s finest, who has been and remains a positive force for countless people – young and old. ••• Speaking of inspiration, don’t forget that it’s Mother’s Day. I’m fortunate, as is my wife and our children, to still have both of our mothers in our lives. Sure, they can be a pain sometimes, but that’s what mothers do. We love them and they have always loved us, through thick and thin. I’m getting to “that age” where friends are starting to lose their parents. It reminds us all to count our blessings every day and appreciate the time we have together. It also reminds us not to get irritated when, for example,

group took a leap of faith and doubled the goal for 2016 to 1,000 volunteers, $44,000 and 200,000 meals. To help meet this doubled goal, a fundraiser “Moms and Meals” is in progress and continues through Saturday, May 14, when the community is asked to help local letter carriers “Stamp Out Hunger” and replenish local food banks by leaving a bag of non-perishable food items at the mailbox to be picked up. A gift to “Feed My Starving Children” in honor or memory of mom feeds hungry children in impoverished countries where 6,200 children die of starvation every day and

my mother-in-law calls her daughter three times in a row to double-check the spelling of words in a crossword puzzle. It’s those little things that mean so much. To all the mothers out there — thanks, we love you and happy Mother’s Day. ••• Finally this week, a weary nation faces the unsettling prospect of reality TV star Donald Trump as the Republican presidential nominee versus Crooked Hillary Clinton, the Democrat. Together, they are the two most unpopular presidential candidates in modern history and will be conducting the nastiest election we’ve ever seen. It will be exhausting (but endlessly entertaining) for an already jaded electorate. In my grief, I took the only two John Kasich stickers in South Carolina off our cars and began fantasizing about who might emerge as a viable third party candidate. Surely there’s something in the works. It’s not too late. Please. Anyone? Graham Osteen is Editor-AtLarge of The Sumter Item. He can be reached at graham@ theitem.com.

Had she not been so concerned, 600 fewer children would have been fed a daily meal for a year in Haiti. Sarah is making a difference not only in her own corner of the world but also in distant corners. She is the spark that started the fire. Let’s keep it burning, community!

MORRIS FROM PAGE A1 When Clyburn’s father was growing up in Kershaw County, schools were segregated and no schools were provided for black children beyond the seventh-grade, he said. “He loved school so much that he repeated the seventh-grade for three years, but then the teacher told him that he was too far advanced and would not allow him to come back,” Clyburn said. “But he kept studying on his own; he kept reading; he kept learning.” Clyburn’s father took the college entrance exam, passed it and was admitted to Morris College. He enrolled at the college and studied for three years. It was after the completion of his third year, however, that he was told he would not be allowed to graduate as state law required proof of a high school diploma for the college to grant a degree. Clyburn said his father never went back to college. “The point of this story is there are going to be obstacles and laws to suppress your ability to get further education,” he said. “You must not let those efforts succeed. Keep studying; keep moving forward. And at some point, something or someone will intercede and make sure you will succeed.” Clyburn encouraged graduates to never give up on their dreams. “When I was growing up in Sumter, I couldn’t afford a handkerchief,” he said. “No one looking at me thought that I would be standing here before you today as the number three Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

MARKET FROM PAGE A1 vendor at the location until about Memorial Day weekend, and then many other farmers set up at the location, she said. The farm is known for its strawberries and honey, Marie Dorr said. The Dorrs run a 10acre farm where they grow strawberries, blackberries, sweet corn, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, red potatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe and more. They also have 63 hives of bees, which provides the raw honey they sell. Strawberries and sweet corn are their most popular items, Dorr said. She said they sold out of strawberries twice Saturday and had to go back to the farm to get more. Customers also have an opportunity to come out to their farm at 5225 Dorr Acre Road and pick their own strawberries, Dorr said. The Dorrs are at the location from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Prices vary depending on the produce and quantity. The indoor farmers market typically runs from early April

Emanuel AME gives $1.5M to families of 9 killed; keeps $1.8M CHARLESTON (AP) — The Charleston church where nine African-Americans were shot in what police say were racist killings has given $1.5 million of about $3.4 million in donations to family members of the victims. Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church is keeping about $1.8 million of donations for building maintenance, an endowment and a scholarship fund, The Post and Courier of Charleston reported. The money was donated to the church in the months after the shootings last June. Church leaders say only $280,000 worth of donations specified the money go to the victims’ families, and the church decided to add more than $1 million to those gifts, said Wilbur Johnson, the church’s attorney. An additional $78,000 was specified for the Charleston Hope Fund and was sent to the city of Charleston, Johnson said. Some family members are upset the church kept more than it gave the families. Arthur Hurd’s wife Cynthia died in the shootings. He sued the church, saying it was being too secretive about donations. The lawsuit was dropped

after Emanuel AME turned over documents to his lawyer. Hurd said his check for $50,000 was less than he expected and the letter gave no details on how the money was divided. “I feel like it says, ‘Take this and shut up,’ “ Hurd said. The family members received a form letter along with their checks in certified letters this week. “It’s just sad how the church continues to disrespect the families,” said the Rev. Sharon Risher, whose 70-year-old mother Ethel Lance died in the shooting. The nine victims were shot to death during a Bible study at the church June 17. Police said Dylann Roof was motivated by hatred for blacks and wanted to start a race war. He is awaiting a death penalty trial in state court. The Charleston Hope Fund has already distributed more than $3 million in donations according to a formula that splits 55 percent of donations equally among the nine victims’ beneficiaries, 25 percent among the five shooting survivors, 10 percent among children of those killed, 5 percent to education expenses and 5 percent to a special needs account.

My father had a garden, so I really like fresh, local, produce,” Brock said. For more information on Dorr Farms, call (803) 495-2639 or check out Dorr Farms Facebook page.

Adjustment time Latta’s Gandy handcuffs EC bats as Lady Wolverines fall 4-1 in lower state tourney opener

TSA’s Jarvis wins again

Senior captures 3 gold medals By DAVID SHELTON Special to The Sumter Item

JUSTIN DRIGGERS / THE SUMTER ITEM

East Clarendon’s Bailey Evans lays down a sacrifice bunt in the fifth inning of Saturday’s 1A lower state tournament opening game at the ECHS field in Turbeville. The Lady Wolverines fell to Latta 4-1 in eight innings.

BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS justin@theitem.com TURBEVILLE — Saturday’s 1A softball lower state tournament matchup between East Clarendon High School and defending state champion Latta was every bit the pitcher’s duel most likely expected it to be. Brooklyn Fort and Arica Gandy were on top of their games for the Lady Wolverines and Lady Vikings, respectively, and combined the duo only gave up eight hits -- five by Fort and three by Gandy. Unfortunately for ECHS, Latta managed to string a couple of those hits together at times, including in the top of the eighth inning as the Lady Vikings scored a trio of runs to earn a 4-1 victory at the EC softball field.

Latta improved to 20-7 overall while the Lady Wolverines fell to 21-6. The Lady Vikings will travel to the winner of Saturday night’s contest between Carvers Bay and Hannah-Pamplico on Monday while EC will travel to the loser of that game on Monday as well. “We didn’t get the bunts down when we needed them, we didn’t get the key hits when we needed them,” East Clarendon assistant coach Andy Baker said. “That’s a good ball team and we have to be on the top of our game when we play them. We just made some mistakes.” ECHS’ offense never could seem to find its footing against Gandy. She allowed only two baserunners and one hit through the first four innings and pitched around a leadoff walk in the second and another in the seventh.

“She pitched really well,” Baker said of Gandy. “We hadn’t seen her before and we didn’t make the adjustments we needed to make. We hit everything off the handle of the bat and didn’t really have any real solid hits. “But we’re going to make those adjustments and I think we’ll see them again.” Latta fared little better against Fort for most of the game. She struck out seven and walked one in eight innings and also pitched around errors in the third and fourth innings -- the latter of which was erased on a tag play at home after a single to left field appeared as if it might score a run. “Brooklyn pitched a great game -good enough to win,” Baker said. “We

Nyquist stays undefeated with Derby win By BETH HARRIS The Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The racing world wondered if there was a worthy successor to last year’s Triple Crown champion American Pharoah. Enter Nyquist. The bay colt who lacks any distinctive markings won the Kentucky Derby by 11/4 lengths on Saturday, improving to 8-0 in his career as the fourth consecutive favorite to win the race. Ridden by Mario Gutierrez, Nyquist ran 11/4 miles in 2:01.31. The 3-year-old colt became the eighth unbeaten winner in the race’s 142-year history, and the first since Big Brown in 2008. He paid $6.60, $4.80 and $3.60 as the 2-1 favorite in the full field of 20 horses. “We got a beautiful trip from the start to the end,” Gutierrez said. Nyquist delivered a second Derby win for Gutierrez, trainer Doug O’Neill and owner J. Paul Reddam. The Southern California-based team was behind 2012 Derby and Preakness winner I’ll Have Another. “This is such a special horse,” O’Neill said.

CHARLESTON — Thomas Sumter Academy’s Hunter Jarvis wrapped up his official prep career with a bang, capturing three gold medals at the 2016 SCISA 3A state track and field championships on Saturday at Porter-Gaud. Jarvis Jarvis easily won titles in the 800-, 1,600- and 3,200-meter runs, setting a state record in the 800 with a time of 1 minute, 55 seconds. Jarvis said he cruised a bit in the 1,600 and 3,200 runs, saving himself for a state record run in the 800 – his best event. “For a couple of weeks, we were planning to basically do what I needed to do to win the 1,600 and 3200, and then go for the record in the 800,” Jarvis said. “My goal was to go for the record. It feels great to see the hard work and preparation pay off. “I kind of knew what my competition would be in the mile and two mile so I just tried to maintain a lead and not kill myself. I think it worked because I felt pretty good in the 800 and had a good run.”

Errors cost Fire Ants in loss to Louisburg By GABE CORNWALL Special To The Sumter Item KINSTON, N.C. – Not this time. The University of South Carolina Sumter’s baseball team didn’t stop battling back against Louisburg College on Saturday, but couldn’t add to its impressive list of Medlin comebacks this season as the Hurricanes held on for a 5-4 win at the Region X Tournament at Grainger Stadium. The defeat drops the secondseeded Fire Ants (39-18) into the losers’ bracket of the double-elimination event against Pitt Community College, scheduled for today at 10 a.m. “We’ve been here before,” USC Sumter head coach Tim Medlin said. “You don’t like it. We lost the opening game last year and got to the finals. Anything’s possible at this point. “The bottom line is we’ve just got to play better.” Four errors by the Fire Ants helped Louisburg (20-33) stay one step ahead throughout the game.

Tom Kline, a lawyer who settled an abuse allegation with Penn State, said he and other lawyers were aware of claims dating back to the ‘70s. Kline said the new disclosure “provides one more link in the chain which has been repeatedly denied by those who refuse to come to terms with the tragic reality here.” But another plaintiff’s lawyer in Sandusky scandal, Michael Boni, urged caution in weighing the new Paterno allegation. “The headlines of these stories is Paterno knew of Sandusky’s molestation in the ‘70s, ‘76 or ‘77. I’m unaware of direct, irrefutable evidence that that’s the case,” Boni said. “Believe me, I’m the last person to defend the guy, but I am the first person to believe in our justice system. And I think you need more than anecdotal evidence or speculative evidence.” The coach’s son Scott Paterno called the new claim “bunk,” tweeting Friday that “it would be great if everyone waited to see the substance of the allegation before they assume it’s true. Because it’s not.” Sue Paterno, the coach’s widow, said in a letter to the Penn State board that the family had no knowledge of the new claims. Defense attorney Al Lindsay said after speaking with Sandusky that his client denied that any of the incidents described in the court ruling occurred. Sandusky also maintained his innocence throughout the trial.

Lowry rescues Raptors, scores 33 in win over Heat By TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press MIAMI — Kyle Lowry got his game back at the perfect time for the Toronto Raptors. And the Miami Heat are in all kinds of trouble. Shaking off epic playoff struggles, Lowry scored 33 points — including five straight to break a late tie — in a duel with Dwyane Wade to lift the Raptors to a 95-91 win over the Heat on Saturday night in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Raptors lead the series 2-1. Game 4 is in Miami on Monday night. “I felt like it was just a matter of time,” Lowry said. He was a career 34 percent playoff shooter coming into Saturday, and was shooting 31 percent in these playoffs. But he connected on 11 of 19 shots, 5 of 8 from 3-point range. “I’ve never lost faith in him,” Toronto coach Dwane Casey said. “I’ve said this: He’s struggled, but you don’t forget how to shoot. And we needed that. We needed him to be Kyle and he was Kyle tonight.” Lowry had 29 points after halftime. So did Wade, who led everybody with 38 points

Durant’s mother, the ‘Real MVP,’ subject of TV movie By CLIFF BRUNT The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY — With a single sentence uttered by her world-famous son Kevin Durant, Wanda Pratt’s life changed forever. “You the real MVP.” The Oklahoma City Thunder star said those now-famous words during his emotional acceptance speech for the 2014 NBA MVP award before Mother’s Day. Pratt became the central figure of one of the most memorable speeches in sports history. “Of course, I knew he that would mention me in the speech, or I believed he would mention me in the speech,” Pratt said during an interview with The Associated Press. “But I didn’t expect it to be to that magnitude, so I was quite caught off guard.” During the speech, Durant recalled some of Pratt’s sacrifices for him and his brother, Tony, as they grew up in the Washington D.C. area. He described how the young single mother gave them hope, kept them out of trouble and sometimes went without food to make sure her boys were fed. Interest in Pratt’s story has remained high, and now she’s the subject of a Lifetime original movie called, “The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story,” which will premiere Saturday at 8 p.m. “I don’t think anyone really thinks a movie will be made

about their life,” Pratt said. “That is something that is really uncommon, and I am blessed to be a person who gets a Pratt story made about them.” Queen Latifah is executive producer for the movie, and Cassandra Freeman stars as Pratt. The movie focuses on how Pratt struggled to make ends meet for her children and persevered with the help of family and carefully chosen friends. Her efforts paid off when Tony graduated from college and Kevin made it to the NBA. “It’s a blueprint,” Durant said. “We didn’t have a lot, but we knew how to stick together and work hard. Anything can happen.” Pratt said Durant’s famous humility is rooted in his early life experiences. She said Durant always has been generous, even when the family didn’t have much. Pratt’s fame has given her a chance to fulfill her mission in life —— to help pregnant teenage girls, teenage mothers and single mothers. “I help them from my life experiences,” she said. “Being my son’s mother has afforded me the opportunity and the platform for my experiences to be heard and to bring inspiration and hope to those who would look at me because of my son’s success.”

and sparked a Miami comeback from 13 down in the second half. But the Heat lost a game, and maybe much more given that center Hassan Whiteside will have an MRI on Sunday to determine how much damage he did to his right knee in a second-quarter tumble. Toronto center Jonas Valanciunas limped off with a sprained ankle in the third quarter, and he’ll be listed as day-to-day. But Whiteside’s injury seems far worse, with the free-agent-to-be’s status for the rest of the series in major doubt. “Guys have to step up,” Wade said. “Nobody can be Hassan Whiteside. ... We have to figure out a way.” DeMar DeRozan scored 19 points, and Valanciunas had 16 points and 12 rebounds in just 22 minutes for Toronto. Goran Dragic scored 12 points, and Joe Johnson had 10 for Miami. It was tied at 82 when Lowry hit a 3-pointer with 2:07 left, and he followed that with a pair of free throws on the next Toronto possession. Miami answered with four straight. The Raptors went back to Lowry, and his pullup from

the right wing with 31.7 seconds left was pure — giving Toronto an 89-86 lead. Wade got a layup to get Miami within one, but Toronto restored the three-point edge when DeRozan made two foul shots with 23.9 left. Johnson missed an open 3 on the next Miami possession, the Raptors went back to the line and the Heat crowd started filing to the exits. “Kyle hit some daggers,” Wade said. When Whiteside left, the Raptors attacked the basket at will and went up 49-40 at the half. Lowry made a pair of quick 3s when play resumed, and the lead was quickly up to 13. That was the margin when Valanciunas got hurt. When he left, Wade went on a spurt. He shot 5 for 9 in the third, slamming down one of his own misses. It was vintage Wade, and the tied-up series had a tiedup score of 68-all going into the fourth quarter. But in the end, Lowry found a way to put the Raptors back in control of the series. “We came here and got one,” Lowry said. “But we didn’t come here just to get one.”

MLB roundup

Braves: Model franchise to league laughingstock By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press ATLANTA — A slew of pennants line the left-field facade at Turner Field, a sobering reminder of the team that used to play here. They won’t be putting up another one, not in this ballpark. The Atlanta Braves are heading for a new stadium in 2017, and this season is already lost. Really, the only real suspense is how long manager Fredi Gonzalez will last (probably not much longer) and how many games this dumpster of a team will lose by the time it’s done. It’s going to be a lot, for sure. Will it be a season of historically bad proportions? It very well could be. The Braves went into Friday night’s game against Arizona with a record of 7-20, a winning percentage of just .259. Only five teams in baseball’s modern era (1900-present) have finished with a worse mark. Atlanta’s plunge over the last two seasons has been especially jarring in light of this team’s longtime place as one of baseball’s flagship franchises, a team that won an unprecedented 14 straight division titles and captured its most recent NL East championship just three years ago. Now, the Braves are a team that can’t hit (last in the majors in runs, homers and average), can’t pitch (a 4.69 team ERA ranked 26th) and can’t field (only two teams had committed more errors before Friday). More troubling is the absentee ownership, a callous front office that has left Gonzalez unfairly flapping in the breeze, and the impending move to the suburbs for a stadium that wasn’t needed (Turner Field is only 20 years old) and will be paid for with a huge chunk of taxpayer dollars. A team that once did everything right — at least until it got to the World Series — is stirring up all sorts of ill will that might take years to overcome, even if the massive rebuilding job pans out in the end. In the meantime, this season is a lame duck in every sense of the word. Outfielder Jeff Francoeur took note of that while remembering how he played on a 99loss Phillies team a year ago. “This year is a little different,” he said before Friday’s game. “Last year, there were a lot of, lot of, lot of young guys. Here, it’s kind of stuck in the middle.” Much of the vitriol in Atlanta has rightly been directed at Liberty Media, the team’s outof-state and out-of-touch owners, who have sliced payroll and seem to view the Braves as a real estate entity more than a baseball team. Indeed, that’s a big reason the team is heading to suburban Cobb County. Liberty Media was able to find a sucker of a local government that was willing to fork over upward of $400 million to build a stadium and an adjacent shopping mall that the team’s ownership is apparent-

ly more excited about than the product it’s putting on the field. In fact, when season tickets for 2017 go on sale next week, the slogan should be: “Don’t miss a chance to see all the exciting action at Braves, Bath & Beyond.” “It’s tough,” said Gonzalez, who admitted to doing some “soul searching” during an off day Thursday, with speculation swirling about his future. “But that’s a challenge I’m going to take. We’re not going to 90-10 the rest of the way. But we’re going to play better.” To be fair, the Braves are attempting to follow a path that worked in Kansas City and Houston, where scorchedearth overhauls resulted in short-term pain but gratifying results in the end. The Royals have played in the last two World Series and are the reigning champions. The Astros went from 111 losses in 2013 to a playoff spot last season (though they’ve taken a step back this year). But to make it work, a team must make a LOT of right decisions on players who are often several years away from playing in the big leagues. The Braves deserve points for fleecing Arizona of former No. 1 pick Dansby Swanson and top pitching prospect Aaron Blair, but a couple of moves have been real puzzlers. Andrelton Simmons, perhaps the best defensive shortstop in the game and only 26, was dealt to the Angels. The bigger head-scratcher came at last year’s trade deadline, when the Braves traded a young left-handed starter (Alex Wood) and a top infield prospect (Jose Peraza) to the Dodgers for Cuban defector Hector Olivera. Olivera is already 31, didn’t show much late last season or early this year, and now his future is in limbo after an arrest last month on misdemeanor assault and battery charges. He’s on leave while his court case plays out, and the Braves still owe him nearly $30 million for the next four years under the deal he signed with Los Angeles, even with the Dodgers picking up part of the hefty contract. For those in the midst of this rebuilding job — even those who are supposed to be a big part of the future — are having trouble seeing light at the end of the tunnel. “When you’re the middle of a hurricane,” said rookie outfielder Mallex Smith, “you’re in the middle of a hurricane.” The rebuilding job is being led by 67-year-old John Hart, who came out of semi-retirement when former general manager Frank Wren was fired, and unproven, first-year GM John Coppolella, who is only 36 years old. So far, their plan for turning things seems to have as many misses as hits. But Coppolella isn’t going anywhere. The same can’t be said for Gonzalez, who appears poised to take the fall for something that is largely beyond his control. This isn’t the Atlanta Braves we once knew. Not even close.

Rangers hit 5 homers in 10-5 win over Tigers DETROIT — Adrian Beltre hit two of Texas’ five home runs, and the Rangers slugged their way to a 10-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. Rougned Odor, Nomar Mazara and Mitch Moreland also went deep for the Rangers, who scored five runs in the sixth inning and overcame an injury-shortened start by A.J. Griffin. The right-hander left in the third with stiffness in his throwing shoulder. The Tigers led 5-2 entering the sixth, but Odor led off with a single and scored on Mazara’s double. Beltre then tied it with an oppositefield homer. Royals 7 Indians 0

Baseball scraps Puerto Rico series amid concerns over Zika The Associated Press NEW YORK — Zika virus concerns have forced the Pirates-Marlins series out of Puerto Rico, with the two games instead shifted to Miami this month. Major League Baseball and the players’ union made the announcement Friday. Pittsburgh and Miami will meet May 30-31 at Marlins Park. The union had asked Commissioner Rob Manfred to relocate the games after several players expressed fears about getting and possibly transmitting the Zika virus. “The risk was too significant,” Pirates pitcher Gerrit

Cole said before Friday night’s game at St. Louis. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said Zika can cause a birth defect called microcephaly, where infants are born with unusually small heads. The virus is most often spread by mosquito bites, but it also can be spread through sexual intercourse. “It was a tough decision for us, it was a tough issue,” Cole said. “In the end, after the thorough presentation by the CDC, there was just significant concerns for players and players families potentially expecting kids and people who may or may not be pregnant.”

The CDC had spoken to players and staff from the Pirates and Marlins about the potential risks. “You trust the process that the union and the league is going to do what’s best for everyone and make sure they take care of everyone,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said before a game against Philadelphia. Manfred said “players who objected to the trip because of their specific family situations should not be forced to travel to Puerto Rico,” MLB and the union said in a release. “Because too many regulars on both clubs fell into that category, Commissioner Manfred

had no choice but to relocate the games,” it said. Pittsburgh and the Marlins were originally scheduled to play the series in Miami when the draft of the schedule was made last year. On Nov. 19, MLB said the games would be played in Puerto Rico, the homeland of Pirates Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente and many other big leaguers. MLB has played several regular-season games at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan in the past. “Go visit my beautiful Puerto Rico !! Still dont understand why MLB cancel the games down in PR! Wow!” tweeted Cardinals catcher Yadier Moli-

na, who’s from the island. Puerto Rico has had 785 confirmed Zika cases, including its first death from the virus. “It’s ironic that athletes are willing to go to Brazil to the Olympics and don’t want to come to Puerto Rico,” Puerto Rico governor Alejandro Garcia Padilla recently told local newspaper El Nuevo Dia. Brazil is at the center of the Zika outbreak, putting Olympic host Rio de Janeiro in the spotlight with 10,500 athletes and up to 500,000 foreign tourists expected for South America’s first games. Nothing has been canceled at the Games, and nearly all athletes still plan to compete.

4-for-5 at the plate, ripped a double off the glove of diving center fielder John Garcia to start the bottom of the frame. He scored two batters later as Niblock made a nice play at first base to get Jason Miller for the second out as USCS climbed within 5-4. Wadsworth worked reliever Louisburg reliever Marcelo Betances to a full count, but struck out to end the game. If USC Sumter doesn’t want its season to quickly end, the Fire Ants will need to turn it around in a hurry. Today’s matchup features two high seeds as No. 3 seed Pitt was dropped 7-5 by sixth-seeded Guilford Tech. “Now you survive,” Medlin said.

The Hurricanes got on the scoreboard before USCS could pick up a bat. Bryce Myers led off with what was officially ruled a triple as Fire Ants center fielder William Thomas called Derrick Parnell off the fly ball that hit the ground. “It’s (Thomas) just trying to do too much,” Medlin said. “That’s all it is. (Parnell)’s camped under it. He thinks it’s a routine flyball and, all of a sudden, the center fielder runs him down. “Not a good play.” Myers ended up scoring on what was ruled a fielding error by second baseman Jason Miller. Sumter didn’t put a runner in scoring position until the fifth inning, but broke through in the sixth. Fred Wadsworth drew a 1-out walk and quickly stole second base. Two batters later, Tee Dubose also drew a walk off of Louisburg starter Matthew Herzog. After a conference on the mound ending with LC head coach Blake Herring keeping Herzog as his pitcher, Patrick Price laced a double just over the outstretched glove of Hank Niblock to drive in Wadsworth and knot the game at 1-1. The lead lasted exactly one pitch. Louisburg’s Toby Buchanon took Jamie Morlan’s first offering of the seventh inning over the left-field wall to put the Hurricanes back on top. Louisburg added some insurance in the eighth. Connor Baldy reached on an infield hit and went to second on a throwing error. Medlin pulled Morlan in favor of Christian Hendrix, who was quickly greeted with by Jordan Sergent’s triple off the centerfield wall to drive in Baldy. Jake Trejo subsequently took the mound in place of Hendrix and yielded a single up the middle to Herzog, scoring Sergent to stake the Hurricanes to a 4-1 advantage. USCS answered in the eighth as Dillon Heffner drew a 1-out walk. Price reached on a fielder’s choice, and both scored on a towering triple by Caleb Morris to cut the deficit to 4-3. Louisburg loaded the bases in the ninth with no outs as Omar Rincon and Zach Moore both reached thanks to fielding errors. Myers followed with a single. Medlin put Zach Mosay on the mound, who responded by striking out Baldy. A dribbler by Sergent was enough to get Rincon home, but Mosey got Herzog to look at a third strike to limit the damage to one run. “Those two errors in the ninth inning that allowed them to score that run -- that’s huge,” Medlin said. Mickey Dugan, who finished

“She’s a good ball player. Most of these girls want to be up in those kinds of big situations.” That was the only big hit of the day for the Lady Wolverines though. Gandy allowed just two baserunners the rest of the way -- neither of which made it past first -- and finished with four strikeouts and three walks. The game went into extras, where the Lady Vikings were able to string another pair of hits together in a big inning. Kaleigh Coulder led off with a single, Kyra Grant was hit by a pitch and Madison Owens reached on an error to push across the go-ahead run. Two batters later, Sawyer socked a 2-run single that all but sealed the win for Latta. Sawyer had two hits and scored a run for LHS and Anderson had two hits as well. Singletary, Elly Floyd and Caitlin Timmons each had a hit for EC, Reardon walked twice and Kinsley Driggers walked once.

Civic League Milk Fund begins; county wins beautification award 75 YEARS AGO – 1941 Sept. 29 – Oct. 5 On Saturday afternoon between the hours of 2 and 5:30 a total of 2,038 people visited the Livestock and Better Farm Living Train while it was parked at the A.C.L. depot in Sumter on exhibition. A halfhour broadcast was made by county agents Eleazer and Bowen that carried listeners through the entire length of the train. This was made possible by station WFIG and Wilcox DesChamps, local cattleman, who sponsored it as a public service feature. Various farmers and Clemson and railroad specialists were interviewed, and a running explanation of the exhibits was carried on by Bowen. This

makes a total of 62,665 persons that have visited this train at the 27 stops it has made over the state. • The annual drive for the Milk Fund of the Civic League will start about the 20th of October. Yesteryear We are most in Sumter grateful to SAMMY WAY W.S. Hirshberg, who has kindly consented to act as chairman and in his capable hands we are sure of success. A small amount of the money raised is used by Miss Antonia Gib-

Wilson Hall SAT SCORES The top quartile of the senior class earned a combined average of 1379 on the reading and math sections of the SAT, and the entire class earned a combined average of 1165. The highest score for the class is 1530. Each of the 61 members of the senior class was required to take the SAT at least once.

MCMILLAN NAMED WOFFORD SCHOLAR Senior Edward McMillan was offered the Benjamin Wofford Scholarship from Wofford College. Valued at $90,000, the scholarship covers one half of the tuition and fees. To receive this scholarship awarded to incoming freshmen, students must score at least a 1250 on the SAT, rank in the top 10 percent of their graduating class and be active in leadership and service roles in their school and community. McMillan also received the Bell Ringer Scholarship, valued at $12,000, from Wofford.

COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS As of April 25, 85 percent of the 61 members of the senior class received merit-based scholarship offers totaling more than $4.5 million to a fouryear college or university. The following is a partial list of scholarship recipients compiled from information submitted to the college counselor, Diane Richardson. Marquette University offered a Pere Marquette Award to Jiyeon Baek, West Virginia University offered a Blue and Gold Scholarship to Alyssa Nether, the University of Mississippi offered an Academic Excellence Scholarship to Wells Osteen, and Bennington College offered a Brockway Family Scholarship to Maddie Rauch. Clemson University awarded a Palmetto Pact Scholarship to Brayden Fidler, Catherine Kelley and Mary Catherine Smith, and Charleston Southern University awarded a Hunter Scholarship to Wells Gaymon.

The University of South Carolina offered a Dean’s Scholars Award to Anna Lyles, Edward McMillan, Paula Patel and Kate Whaley, and a Scholars Award to Olivia Maklary, Nick Sersun, Tradd Stover and Maggie Watts.

SENIOR SERVICE PROJECT The 61 members of the senior class spent the school day on April 22 performing community service projects, organized by school counselor Elizabeth Hyatt, for five organizations in Sumter. One group worked at Crosswell Home for Children, where they did yard work and played with the younger residents, and another group worked at the Sumter YMCA organizing equipment and filing paperwork. A group cleaned the Backcountry building, organized items and performed yard work, while another group hosted an ice cream party for the residents of McElveen Manor. The fifth group worked at First Baptist Church sorting donated clothes for the Care Closet benefiting foster children in Sumter County. Each year the seniors set a class goal of community service hours that they would like to complete before graduation, and the Class of 2016 has set a goal of 3,400 service hours. While the school sponsors two service days for the seniors, the students will perform community service hours on their own in order to meet the goal of nearly 55 hours per person.

EDUCATION NEWS unteers to assist in fitting every kindergarten and third-grade student with safety helmets. Students in third grade are taking the SC READY test this week. SC READY is the state accountability assessment to measure student progress in the areas of English language arts, reading and math. The tests are broken down during three days and take approximately three hours to complete. Because these tests can sometimes be stressful for students, Bishopville Primary decided to cut the tension with an SC READY Pep Rally. Students at each grade level created posters and cheers and cheered on our third-graders on Monday before testing began.

BISHOPVILLE PRIMARY SCHOOL ANNEX The Thunderbird Gardeners are ready to plant tomatoes, okra, zucchini, sweet peppers and watermelon in the garden near the front entrance of Bishopville Primary Annex. Several community members have dedicated their time and resources to helping the school beautify the campus and teaching students how to plant and grow vegetables and flowers. We look forward to seeing the “fruits” of their labor.

Clarendon School District 1 SCOTT’S BRANCH MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL The Richard W. Riley Institute at Furman University honored Brianna Brunson, a student at Scott’s Branch Middle/High School, for her service project “Summerton Services Seniors.” Brianna’s project was classified as a second-place winner in the institute’s Emerging Public Leaders program. She won a cash prize to replicate or expand her project. Student projects are judged on the basis of vision, execution, program impact and project sustainability. The EPL is designed to communicate public leadership skills and knowledge to high school seniors. During the summer, participants spend a week at Furman University where they investigate topics such as how to engage in the community, analyze critical issues and practice ethical leadership. They also develop communication and presentation skills and plan for the implementation of service projects, which address needs in their communities. Brianna’s project highlighted the senior citizen community of Summerton. She spent time with the senior citizens in the hospital and at home; she was the musician for the Scott’s Branch High Chorus as they provided music for the local nursing home; and spearheaded the collection of personal hygiene products and supplies for the senior community. It is important to note that the Clarendon School District 1 family provided support and encouragement throughout the project. Scott’s Branch Middle/High School faculty and student body provided numerous supplies for distribution. Mr. Mburu and his class were instrumental in collecting and packaging the bags for the senior citizens. His video was included in the final presentation. According to Brianna, “This project has opened my eyes to the changes that have evolved in America and the part that Summerton played. The numerous hours visiting and talking with the seniors of my community have not been in vain. I want to continue to be a part of the change that makes Summerton so great.” — Beverly Spry

Sumter School District CRESTWOOD SENIOR NAMED GATES MILLENNIUM SCHOLAR Crestwood High School senior Jonah Williams has been named a Gates Millennium Scholar, one of only 1,000 in the United States. More than 57,000 students from all across the United States applied for the scholarship. The Gates Millennium Scholars program is funded by a $1.6 billion grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The scholarship pays for recipients to attend any accredited college or

university in the country. In addition, recipients have access to many programs and activities to assist with continued development as leaders and connect them with the Gates Scholars community. There are also numerous online resources available to help with good study habits, time management, announcements about internships, fellowships and other scholarships, and social networking with other recipients. Williams lives in Dalzell and plans to attend the College of Charleston where he will major in hospitality and tourism management. In addition to starting on the Crestwood basketball team, he is president of the math honor society, Mu Alpha Theta and the National Honor Society. This year, he is the vice president of the Student Government Association.

SUMTER HIGH BAND HAS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE The Sumter High School Jazz Band traveled to Charlotte to see the sold- out performance of Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra led by Wynton Marsalis. He is an internationally acclaimed musician, composer, band leader, educator and a leading advocate of American culture. Marsalis is the world’s first jazz artist to perform and compose across the full jazz spectrum from its New Orleans roots to bebop to modern jazz. The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra is a group based out of New York and internationally recognized as one of the most established jazz ensembles of our time. After the performance, the house manager of Charlotte’s Performing Arts Center invited the group to go back stage and meet with Marsalis. According to Tori Stoudenmeir, director of bands at Sumter High School, the musician was happy to answer all of the questions from the students. What began as a back stage meet morphed into an hour-long question- and-answer session with Marsalis. It ended with him offering to visit the school in the future and have a clinic with the band students.

MILLWOOD GIVES BACK The Millwood Elementary School student council donated more than 40 gift bags to the Palmetto Health Tuomey pediatric floor. The bags contained molding clay, crayons, coloring books and other goodies. They also donated other supplies to be kept in the group play rooms on the floor. The group, their advisers and some of the parents visited Tuomey after school on a Friday to personally deliver the gifts. Teachers Jayne Evenich and Carol Russell are the sponsors of the student council at Millwood. This is the first year for student council at the elementary school, and it is helping students learn about the democratic process. The members campaigned for their positions and now represent their peers on council. They plan to visit a county council meeting this month to watch local government in action. The donation to the children on Palmetto Health Tuomey’s pediatric floor was their first service project.

FURMAN GENTLEMAN’S CLUB THRIVES Furman Middle School recently hosted a Gentleman’s Club breakfast program at the school to celebrate the success of the program with the students and their mentors. Dr. Cynthia Copeland, school counselor, organized the morning event. Master Sgts. Larry Jackson and Anthony Sanders, both members of the United States Army, and retired Air Force member Wendell Hoskins have been working with a core group of seventh-grade young men about topics such as respect, manners, soft skills and work ethic. The United Way has also been involved. Other sponsors for the event were C. Anthony’s Menswear and Gregory Miller. The young men each received a gift bag with a tie, some socks, a belt and other items. Jackson and Sanders assisted those who needed help with tying their ties. They will wear the ties every Wednesday through the end of the school year. Copeland said the mentors have had a profound effect on the young men with whom they work. The plans are to build on the program next year by having the current group move up and bringing in a new set of members from next year’s seventh-grade class.

Rich Abney cares for sick people, monitoring their vital signs, keeping their spirits up and acting as a liaison to a variety of specialists. Like an increasing number of men, Abney is a nurse. Thirty years ago, the thought of a male nurse might have raised some eyebrows. Nursing was a woman-dominated profession. But as America celebrates National Nurses Week beginning May 6, it’s easy to see that the face of nursing is changing. • Sumter’s Operation Appreciation parade begins 3 p.m. today at Alice Drive Fire Station.

This time it was different though; Mack was performing in Sumter for the first time as a professional pitcher for the Macon Braves. • Edmonia McNeil knows how to throw a party. The 80-year-old “seasoned citizen” has been throwing a big bash in Sumter on or around the April 15 birthday for the past six years. “I hate to see them doing nothing but eating and gossiping,” McNeil said, “I wanted to get them to go someplace, and I wanted to get them to move, so I decided to have a party.” This year, McNeil provided the band and the Elks Lodge No. 885 furnished the building. More than 175 seniors and some not-so-senior citizens turned out to join in the fun. • Sumter City Council on Tuesday approved construction of a Food Lion shopping center on Lafayette Drive that could create 80 or more jobs.

THE SUMTER ITEM

Sumter native Montgomery was

LIGHTWEIGHT BOXING CHAMP T

he year 1943 proved to be a highlight in the life of Sumter’s “Bobcat” Bob Montgomery. The young pugilistic prodigy made a name for himself by winning the lightweight title and producing a year that most fighters dream about. The in-

formation and photos for this article were obtained from Sumter Item archives. In May of 1943, newspapers in the New York area featured headlines that read “Montgomery Beats Beau Jack for Lightweight Title”; the young lightweight appears to have burst on the boxing scene from relative obscurity. This is contrary to reality, as he rose through the boxing ranks and certainly paid his dues. Research indicates that he was born in the Goodwill section of Sumter County, and according to his school principal, W.J. Nelson, he attended Goodwill School, where he enjoyed a good reputation and was a popular member of the student body. His minister, the Rev. James J. Foster, reported that his parents, Oscar and Janie Montgomery, lived in the county at that time. Foster stated that Bob enlisted in the Civilian Conservation Corps and later moved to Philadelphia, where he entered the boxing profession and gained rapid success and recognition. He had three Sammy Way brothers, one in Washington and two in Ohio; five sisters, one of REFLECTIONS whom lived in Philadelphia. One of Montgomery’s most noted boxing encounters was his bout against Beau Jack. The results of this fight propelled him to the top of the Lightweight Division. A newspaper article written by Sid Feder in 1943 provides the reader with insight into the career and character of Bob Montgomery. A degree of editing is required because of the vernacular used by writers who reported on the boxing world during the 1930s and ’40s. Feder noted that “a pair of tonsils — or, rather, the absence of the same — made a lightweight champion out of Bob Montgomery, and now that he’s traded in his throat trouble for the title, he’s figuring on showing who the boss of the 135-pound class is from coast to coast. “He won the New York and New Jersey titles by bouncing Beau Jack all over the premises for the better part of 15 rounds in Madison Square Garden, virtually assuring Pennsylvania’s ‘blessing’; ‘Bobcat’ Bob is thinking of taking his crown around the circuit from Washington to Portland, Oregon, to see if there’s anyone who might knock it off his head. After that, he’ll go through with his contract to give Jumping Jack a return shot at the title, probably in the Polo Grounds in July. But after last night’s bout, which entertained 18,323 fans, Beau Jack should take his time before getting back within range of shots which ‘Bobcat’ Bob threw and all but punched both his eyes shut last night. Just as quite a

number of neighbors predicted, Beau Jack, the ‘Georgia Galloper,’ was strictly a ‘six furlong horse in a mile and a quarter race’ when he tried that 15-round Derby route. There are a lot of theories as to what switched Robert into a Philadelphia firecracker who had the highly favored ... Beau Jack all but looking for a door last night long before 15 rounds were up. Two days before Maxie Shapiro gave him a cuffing last October; a physician told Montgomery that his tonsils were about as helpful as a cat is to a canary. He had them ‘amputated,’ and since then the Quaker City socker has knocked off eight straight opponents, including Shapiro, Chester, Rico and now Beau Jack — a quartet of pretty fair country flailers. “Certainly, his work was as good as he’s ever done. After letting Lightweight Champion Beau Jack have his fling for five rounds, Bob took control through the last nine rounds and grabbed the title from the wild-swinging Georgian in his first defense since he was handed the honors by the New York Boxing Commission after Sammy Ancott abdicated last fall. The 24-year-old Sumter native, Montgomery became the fourth black American to win what is generally recorded as the second most-prized crown in the book, putting his name in the boxing records along with the great Joe Gans, Hammerin’ Hennery Armstrong and Beau Jack.” It should be noted that “Bobcat” Bob Montgomery was recently honored by his fellow Sumterites via his induction into the Sumter Athletic Hall of Fame.

Dancer Sylvia Lewis worked with the (big) stars BY NICK THOMAS Tinseltown Talks The stages of early Hollywood studios are littered with the broken hearts of chorus dancers who failed to professionally transition beyond the dance floor. But Sylvia Lewis, who turns 85 on April 22, was not one of them. Although she describes her career as “modest,” she worked with film greats such as The Three Stooges, Jerry Lewis and John Wayne, accumulating more than 60 film and TV credits during her 65-year career as a dancer, choreographer and actress, as well as numerous stage performances (see www.sylvialewis. net). Lewis appeared as a dancer in John Wayne’s “The Conqueror,” released 60 years ago this year. Although modestly successful at the box office, it was largely panned in reviews for miscasting Wayne as Mongolian Emperor Genghis Khan. Even Wayne found it a tough project to complete. “My dance scene was shot towards the end with Duke watching me,” said Lewis from her home in Thousand Oaks, California. “He was very sweet but, as I recall, was halfcrocked while we did that sequence. It was probably the only way he could handle getting through the film.” While the movie may have struck out with critics, Lewis’ outfit was striking. “When costume designer Michael Woulfe showed me the sketch I thought ‘Wow, what an incredible outfit.’ It was a flesh-colored body suit of fine fishnet that stretched

Jerry had this vision in his mind and said to just follow him, so what you see is me literally chasing him around that set.” As the name suggests, the entire room is white with the exception of Sylvia and Jerry’s clothes, “and my bright red lipstick” Sylvia said. “When I saw the set for the first time it was spectacular,” she said. “The floor, walls, furniture, curtains — every texture and shade of white you could imagine. I never knew there were so many.” In addition to purely dancing roles, Sylvia was a regular cast member on Ray Bolger’s 1950’s comedy series “Where’s Raymond?” playing his Broadway leading lady and also choreographing the weekly dance numbers. She continued to act, choreograph and dance into the 1990s on shows such as “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” “Who’s the Boss?” and “Married with Children.” She also credits her long, active PHOTO PROVIDED dance career for good health.

SCS FROM PAGE C2 closes out. With the completion of major projects and the preparation for exams, programs and graduations, students and teachers always look forward to enjoying a variety of field trips in different classes. Kindergarten classes started the field trip season with a trip to Patriot Hall for art lessons. First- and secondgraders picked some delicious strawberries on a beautiful day at McLeod Farms. Third grade had a great time in Charleston visiting the USS Yorktown and hearing stories from their bus driver Clarence Davis, who served in the United States Navy. Keeping a keen eye for details with a scavenger hunt, fourth grade toured the S.C. State Museum and Statehouse in Columbia. Fifth grade enjoyed an exciting show, history and especially the food on their trip to Medieval Times in Myrtle Beach. While the junior English class enjoyed a quick trip to the Sumter Library for additional research, the senior zoology class had a great day at the Charleston Zoo. The senior class is excited about its final field trip to Washington, D.C., next week. — Miriam Marritt

Lee Central High School hosted its first National College Signing Day. Lee Central High School students who were accepted into various colleges and universities were honored. Students signed their documentation to officially declare the school they will be attending in the fall. With a record attendance of 73 students since the start of Career Café, students at Lee Central High School are increasingly being exposed to careers and college majors. On April 26, Keith Britton, director of admissions at the University of South Carolina Sumter, shared information about the university’s admissions process, degree programs and financial aid. Britton, a graduate of Mayewood High School in Sumter, shared his experience as a former student and graduate of USC Sumter. He encouraged students to “find a job you love, and you

will never work a day in your life.” At the conclusion of the session, each student received USC memorabilia — a water bottle, towel and lanyard. Lee Central’s JROTC Department held its third and final blood drive for the 2015-16 school year. The cadets worked diligently the week before the drive to sign up more than 100 students and staff members and were able to collect 26 pints of blood. This number contributed significantly to the overall count of 55 pints collected for the year. The Stallion Battalion has designated blood drives as its yearly service learning project.

Hiking boots, bug spray, long underwear — not your typical packing list for a wedding. Unless it’s a summer-camp wedding, a hot new twist on the destination wedding. Such nuptials are increasingly popular, wedding planners say, and offer a mix of nostalgia and adventure. “I was never that girl who grew up dreaming about her wedding dress, about her wedding day,” said Lorelle Binder, who got married last year at Camp Highlander in Horse Shoe, North Carolina. Instead of engaging in the quintessential hotel or ballroom revelry, Binder’s guests spent the weekend doing traditional camp activities, including a color war. “Everyone there was able to relive their childhood, and that was something we could give to our guests,” Binder said. There are many reasons for the summer-camp wedding, but couples often choose it because they love the outdoors. “It’s one of the newer trends, and I don’t think it’s going anywhere,” said Tonia Adleta, a Philadelphia wedding planner. Destination weddings accounted for 1 out of every 4 nuptial ceremonies, according to a 2014 report from The

Knot, which studies industry trends. Summer-camp weddings can capture the same appeal as a far-flung destination but in a low-key and often low-cost way. “What happens is that the wedding weekend turns into a family reunion, or it’s a time for the families from both sides to really get to know each other,” said Drew Taylor, who co-owns the 120acre Kingsley Pines Camp in Raymond, Maine. Taylor said the camp has hosted about 10 weddings a year in recent years, and the number has been growing. Extended families typically “come in on Friday and stay all weekend,” she said. “Their meals and activities are provided.” David Blacker, who got married in 2009 at a camp called Club Getaway in Kent, Connecticut, said he saved money: “The cabin was a fraction of the price a hotel would have been.” For many couples, a camp wedding simply sounds like fun. “We weren’t sure people were going to be game for this — showering in a public shower and all,” said Alison Bartolone, who got married at Sheldon Calvary Camp in Conneaut, Ohio, in 2013. But her guests “were enthusiastic and had a lot of fun with it,” she said. One group even broke into the camp’s costume closet one evening.

CHARLESTON — Men and women who entered The Citadel as freshmen last fall have officially been sworn in as members of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets as of April 9. Recognition Day 2016 marks the end of what many consider the toughest first year of college military training in the country. Each year, hundreds of people line the streets to cheer for the freshmen as they march, dressed in their brilliant, white uniforms, to attend “The Oath Renewal on The Citadel Green.” The oath marks their transition to officially becoming members of the Corps. The green at Marion Square was the original parade ground for the college, when it was founded in 1842 in the structure that is now the Embassy Suites. John Baker of Sumter was among 588 other freshmen cadets that have been officially sworn into the South Carolina Corps of Cadets. The march follows three weeks of Transition to Recognition Training during which the knobs take classes examining student ethics and leadership skills and the honor code. They also undergo inspections and drills training.

Camp weddings offer nostalgia, adventure BY TRACEE M. HERBAUGH The Associated Press

“It was old-school fun,” Bartolone said. Mandee and Thor Morgan, who now live in Denver, met while working as counselors at Camp Highlander. They got married at the camp for sentimental reasons, and also because it let them incorporate their outdoorsy lifestyle into the big day. “The biggest draw for us was that it wouldn’t be a quick night when we wouldn’t get to see anyone for more than a couple seconds,” Thor Morgan said. “It was a long weekend where people could do activities they had never done before and all in an outdoors setting.” A summer camp also can offer some relief from the typical pre-wedding frenzy. “What camp allowed us to do was to forget about the little tiny details, such as the table settings, signs, lighting, and focus more on our friends, family and the beauty of Maine,” said Emily Tong, who married Cory Elowe in 2014 at Camp-O-AtKa in Sebago, Maine. Of course, camp weddings aren’t for everyone. Bad weather can cast a pall, especially if you insist on wearing stiletto heels. “If you’re the type of couple that wants to be at the Ritz or the Four Seasons, a camp wedding is definitely not going to work for you,” said Adleta. “It’s a completely different animal.”

Blowing out candles ruins cake for guest DEAR ABBY — I am sometimes invited to friends’ birthday parties and, while I enjoy the celebration, I have Dear Abby one hang-up. When it’s ABIGAIL time to blow VAN BUREN out the candles, sometimes my friends will blow real hard or even need more than one breath. (We’re not exactly spring chickens.) To me, this is the equivalent of spitting all over the cake, and I can’t bring myself to eat any after this display. What is a “nice” way of saying, “I don’t want any cake,” without falling back on the old, “I’m trying to lose weight,” especially since other snacks and drinks are also being served? I don’t want to be a ... Party pooper DEAR PARTY POOPER — Your distaste is shared by many people. An effective way to handle the problem would be to mention your “quirk” to your friends long before their birthdays roll around. You could also set an example when your birthday arrives by serving cupcakes instead of a large one to your guests. Many people avoid the problem in this way — and the portions are perfect. DEAR ABBY — My handsome, intelligent, physically fit husband looks much younger

than his age. But he is vain and won’t get hearing aids. Because he can’t hear, he stands looking at people with a faraway expression on his face that makes him appear like he has dementia. It takes him a while to process the spoken word, and then sometimes he gets it wrong. He has gotten angry with me because he couldn’t understand something I was saying. Any tips for me and others on how to deal with this? I’m ready to quit trying to have a conversation with him. He could easily afford to buy hearing aids. End of my rope in Oklahoma DEAR END — What’s going on is not only not good for your relationship with your husband, but also extremely isolating for him. I do have a suggestion for you: Discuss your concerns with your family physician. Perhaps if the doctor suggests he have his hearing checked by an audiologist, your husband will be less likely to tune the message out. Advances in hearing aids are being made all the time, and some of them fit into the ear canal and are hard to detect. DEAR READERS — Today I am wishing a very happy Mother’s Day to moms everywhere — birth mothers, adoptive and foster mothers, stepmothers and grandmothers who are raising grandchildren. My heartfelt applause to you all for what you do every day. — Love, Abby

Humble mystery plant is all about clean water BY JOHN NELSON CURATOR USC Herbarium You can’t step into the same river twice. ... attributed to Heraclitus I hope you live in a place where there are rivers and creeks remaining in a largely natural state. In my case, I like to brag frequently on the rivers of my hometown, Columbia. We have the Broad River, which starts in the mountains of North Carolina, not so far from Asheville, and the Saluda River, whose headwaters are entirely within the borders of South Carolina, way up near our northernmost boundary limit. These two rivers flow basically south-southeast, and of course, like all rivers in North America (?) they are impounded in various places. Nevertheless, the Broad and the Saluda are major rivers, each with its own personality, both finally converging on the northwest side of Columbia, thus forming the mighty Congaree, which has a long and prodigious local history in the midlands of the state. A lot of good things are happening within our three-river system, especially from a recreational point of view, swimming, wading, kayaking (white-water!) and of course, this requires clean water. And that’s what our mystery plant is all about. If humility is a virtue, then our mystery plant could be the most “virtuous” plant around: It’s not the sort of thing you see used in a corsage. It is widespread in the eastern U.S., but not many people know of it, since it grows below water, most often attached to rocks. When people do see it, they often think it is some sort of algal growth, or perhaps an aquatic moss. But it’s a true flowering plant: It produces plenty of flowers, but they are very, very tiny, and they

lack petals. The plants themselves tend to be hard and crunchy, with leaves that feel like scratchy, stiff plastic. These leaves, which may be bright green to nearly black, tend to be forked, often divided into numerous divisions. Under normal conditions, the plants are always below water. In whitewater streams, rapidly flowing rivers, or around waterfalls, the plants tend to be compact and somewhat crusty. In quieter settings, the plants are able to elongate, having a somewhat stringy look. Living in swift currents means that you have to remain attached to something; our mystery plant produces tiny, round disks which provide tight attachment even in the fastest water. When I’ve been swimming or wading around in our rivers, it’s easy to find. You might think that such a plant doesn’t deserve much respect. On the contrary: It surely deserves our admiration for being able to grow and thrive in its specialized aquatic habitat. There is growing evidence that this plant is a good indicator of clean rivers. Additionally, the plants apparently filter sediments from the water column, and they provide habitat for tiny critters, all sorts of little aquatic insects, annelids, crustaceans and other things. Life in clean, cold water is wonderful.

Marshall’s Marine in Lake City has a man-made lake complete with a launching ramp and dock that allows boat owners to learn how to use their new boat and allows the repair shop to test the boats after they’ve been repaired.

Marshall’s Marine hopes to

FLOAT YOUR BOAT Marshall Ray Altman Jr.’s 1966 Chevrolet Suburban, above, acts as a Marshall’s Marine mascot in the business’ showroom.

AKE CITY — Marshall’s Marine has cultivated a family business that treats customers like family.

That started when Marshall Ray Altman opened the business nearly 50 years ago. Since then, it has expanded from a small boat motor sales company to acres of boats in a covered warehouse that includes an outdoor homemade lake in back where you can even test drive a boat. And for those rookies who are challenged by the prospect of backing a boat into the water — without embarrassing yourselves — the lake even incorporates a (wide) launching ramp and a dock where employees can assist you in overcoming that challenge. J. ALTMAN The third generation of owners — Marshall Jr., Stewart and Justin Altman — now carries everything from spark plugs to boats for more than $200,000, while the most popular boat prices range from $15,000 to $30,000. It doesn’t matter if you want a freshwater or a saltwater boat; Marshall’s Marine covers the spectrum, whether you’re searching for a kayak, a creek boat, a pontoon party boat, a bass-fishing boat, a power boat to ski behind or an ocean-going boat. And while many boat salespeople might focus on selling you what’s in stock, Marshall’s Marine’s salespersons start by asking customers questions that help them pinpoint how they plan to use the boat. “We try not to sell them anything,” said Justin Altman. “We try to assist them with acquiring something that meets their needs. “We want to make sure we give our customers the experiences they are looking for.” That philosophy generates repeat business, co-owner Justin Altman said.

It’s not over ’til it’s over “I

know the fish are biting,” I told my good friend Gordon Swygert. “Everybody’s telling me they’re tearing it up on the lake,” I added. “But there’s another whole week of turkey season to go, and the fish will just have to wait.” With that being said, I headed back to the Lowcountry last Saturday morning. There were two trucks at the clubhouse when I rolled in just before 5 a.m. Bill Hall was sitting at the table in the dim light of a lantern. Troy Murphy was snoring from one of the beds across the room. I greeted Bill, and we sat talking for a while. Bill and his wife, Libby, are from Orangeburg, and they are good people. Troy is their nephew. Sign-in time starts at 5 a.m., and I asked Bill if we should wake Troy. “Not ’til we sign in,” he said with a chuckle. But he got up and went over and tried to rouse Troy — without much luck. Troy had driven from Greenville the evening before. He probably needed the rest. We went ahead and signed in and walked back over to try Troy again. This time with two flashlights in his face and our loud voices booming in his ears, he showed some signs of life and eventually looked up at us, then started talking. Good enough. We went back to the table and continued our conversation. After awhile, I realized the time was slipping up on us, and we needed to get going. Daylight waits for no man. Troy was getting dressed now, and Bill and I wished each other good luck and headed out. The eastern sky was beginning to show a change. I drove down River Road and pulled

into a little turnout. There wasn’t much time to waste, and I had a good little walk to get to the listening spot I had in mind. I knew there was a gobbler in this area, and I needed him to Dan let me know where he Geddings was. A nice series of OUTDOORS gobbles from him would do the trick. At the crossroads where I stopped, the birds were already singing, and the time was right. With the first crow call, a gobbler sounded off — behind me, back toward the truck. I immediately turned around and started back. This one kept gobbling, so I could pinpoint his location and get closer. I got within 100 yards, put a decoy in the road and sat back in the edge of the woods. It was a good setup. As soon as I sat down, the bird got quiet, and I knew he was about to fly down. Within a minute or two I heard him fly out — and it sounded like he was coming my way. But he kept on flying right over the treetops, over my head, over the road and out of sight over a big cut-down. Oh no! There is no way to approach a wild turkey gobbler out in a big open area, and all I could do was sit there and call. Which I did for nearly an hour. I finally decided that this turkey could be saved for another day, and I picked up my decoy and headed back to the truck. I knew where another gobbler was hanging out, and it was still early enough to give him a try. I

drove back past the clubhouse, out to the highway and down to a logging road that borders another club. I had an encounter with another gobbler there, but it just didn’t work out. It might be a good story for another day. Well — actually — I should probably just keep it to myself. It was getting hot now, and I was tired of messing with these uncooperative turkeys, so I headed back to the clubhouse. Back at the clubhouse, Bill and Troy were sitting at a table talking, and I pulled up a chair. It soon became evident that they were covering a pretty important subject, and I almost felt like an intruder. But they are friends and easily accepted my presence. I sat quietly and just listened. Sometimes that’s all another person needs. A couple of times Bill announced “this is a pretty deep subject.” And I even added a word or two of encouragement of my own. Soon the conversation came to a natural conclusion, and we got up to leave. I learned a long time ago that the outdoors is not just about the birds and animals and woods and streams. It’s about the people, too. Turkey season is over now, and there are new adventures awaiting. We might soon forget about those unruly turkeys or the big ones that got away. But let’s not forget about the people we meet and get to know. They make the outdoor experience complete. Dan Geddings is a weekly columnist for The Sumter Item.

First sea turtle nest of the season reported FROM STAFF REPORTS After a record-breaking year for sea turtle nest numbers at Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge in 2015, the Refuge again has cause for celebration, according to a news release from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The agency announced that the first sea turtle nest of the year was laid on Lighthouse Island, located in the Refuge, the night of May 4. Refuge staff member Jerry Tupacz found the distinctive marks of a sea turtle crawl on the beach leading to a freshly laid nest. The discovery came close on

the heels of Georgia’s first sea turtle nest, recorded several days before on Cumberland Island, and marks the beginning of a season that DNR biologists expect will be similar to last year’s, the release states. The earliest recorded nest on record was laid April 29 in 2002, but typically they’re laid from May 7-10. In 2015, the South Carolina nest total reached 5,111, just shy of the statewide record set in 2013 by 5,194 nests. “Due to unseasonably warm water temperatures over the winter, it was no surprise when sea turtles were spotted in our waters in early March. We were expecting an early start to nesting and are looking

Customers of the Angler’s Headquarters online tackle store have access to daily updates and fulllength reports on its site. DHEC Fish Consumption Advisories: www.scdhec.gov/environment/water/ fish Freshwater Report Santee Cooper 4/14 Bass: Good. Steve Harmon reports that a large group of fish are post-spawn, and another big wave should move up to spawn on the April full moon. Pre-spawn fish can be caught around shallow cover on soft plastics while post-spawn fish have pulled out slightly deeper. Crappie: Good. Captain Steve English reports that crappie can be found in the shallows as well as around mid-depth brush where they will eat minnows. Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Jim Glenn reports that the best catfish bite is coming in 20-30 feet of water on cut shad. Striped Bass: Fair to good. Captain Jim Glenn/ Pack’s Landing reports that the striper spawn continues and fish are being caught in the top of the system on artificials, live herring and cut herring. Bream: Fair to good. Captain Steve English reports that bluegill are staging in anticipation of the full moon, while a few shellcracker are already shallow. Midlands Area Lake Wateree 4/24 Bass: Fair to good. Dearal Rodgers reports that bass at all three stages of

the spawn can still be found on Lake Wateree, but the numbers are tilted heavily towards spawning and postspawn fish. The shad spawn is starting and spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and shallowrunning lures are catching fish. Catfish: Very good to excellent. Captain Rodger Taylor (803-517-7828) reports that catfish are concentrated along the river channel in the upper one-third of the lake, where they will eat cut bait. Crappie: Good. Will Hinson advises that a few straggler fish are still up shallow but most fish have pulled out to the middle of creeks where they will bite jigs fished at mid-depths. Lake Greenwood 4/14 Bass: Good. Fish are up shallow on Lake Greenwood, and Stan Gunter advises that the biggest wave of bass should spawn on the April full moon. Topwater lures as well as floating worms will catch fish. Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) says that catfish are biting well in the shallows on drifted cut bait. Lake Monticello 4/14 Bass: Good. Andy Wicker reports that another very good wave of fish should spawn on the April full moon. Soft plastics in the shallows work well for pre-spawn and spawning bass, and post-spawn fish will take topwater lures. Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that catfish continue to be caught in 20-40 feet of water on small pieces of cut bait. Lake Murray 4/29 Bass: Good. Captain Doug Lown reports that pre-spawn and spawning fish can still be found, but most bass anglers are

forward to another successful year,” said Michelle Pate, DNR biologist and sea turtle program coordinator. Volunteers from 30 different nest protection programs will spend the next several months patrolling South Carolina’s beaches each morning for crawls, the telltale tracks left by a sea turtle as it trundles ashore. Between bright lights, hazardous debris, and natural or man-made obstacles, beaches can be treacherous places for nesting females. Incubating eggs face additional threats, including erosive high tides and predators such as coyotes and raccoons.

now thinking about the blueback herring spawn. Early in the morning fish can be caught very shallow off points and later in the day they will drop deeper in the same areas. Striper: Good. Lake World (803-9576548) reports that striper are also shallow around points, and they can be caught on free-lines, planer boards, and cut bait as well as artificial lures blindcasted. Piedmont Area Lake Thurmond 4/27 Bass: Good. Buckeye Lures reports that some bass are bedding and a very few are still pre-spawn, but most bass fishermen are thinking about the blueback herring spawn. Bass are shallow around points chasing herring and they will take topwaters, flukes and soft plastics fished on the bottom. Striper and Hybrids: Good to very good. Captain William Sasser (864-3332000) reports that striper are also hanging around shallow points and they will eat free-lined herring, cut bait and artificial lures. Catfish: Good to very good. Captain William Sasser reports that this is peak catfish season on Clarks Hill and channels and flatheads can be caught around riprap on a Carolina-rigged piece of cut herring. Shellcracker: Good. Captain William Sasser reports that shellcracker are spawning and can be caught shallow on nightcrawlers. Crappie: Fair to good. Captain William Sasser reports that crappie are in the backs of creeks where they can be caught on minnows fished vertically. Lake Wylie 4/28 Bass: Good. FLW angler Bryan New reports that the spawn is winding down

on Lake Wylie, and with it the shallow bite is falling off. Shad are spawning but bass aren’t really keyed in on them yet, but fishing in deeper water with jigs, crankbaits and more is getting pretty hot. Catfish: Good to very good. Captain Rodger Taylor (803-517-7828) reports that catches of medium to large blue catfish have been good, and flatheads are also starting to show up. The best pattern is fishing around river current with cut herring or white perch. Lake Russell 4/13 Bass: Good. Guide Jerry Kotal (706-9880860) reports that largemouth at all three stages of the spawn can be caught on Russell, while spotted bass seem to be mostly pre-spawn. Both moving baits and soft plastics will catch fish in the shallows. Crappie: Good. Guide Wendell Wilson (706-283-3336) reports that the better crappie have now spawned, but the bulk of the fish are still in relatively shallow water where they can be caught on minnows and jigs. Striped Bass: Fair. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that good numbers of striper are mid-way up the rivers, and they will take live herring presented on free lines and planer boards. Catfish: Fair. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that catfish can be caught around rip-rap on cut herring. Mountains Area Lake Hartwell 4/26 Bass: Fair. Guide Brad Fowler reports that weights have been a little down in recent tournaments, but bass are feeding shallow around spawning blueback herring. They will eat a variety of lures on the top, middle and bottom of the water column, and bass are also

still spawning. Striped Bass: Good. Captain Bill Plumley (864-287-2120) reports that stripers are being caught around points across the lake. Anchoring with live bait as well as variety of other techniques will catch fish. Catfish: Good. Captain Bill Plumley reports that channel and blue catfish are both feeding well in 2-20 feet of water. Crappie: Slow. Captain Bill Plumley reports that crappie are showing up again around bridges and brush where they can be caught at night on minnows. Lake Keowee 5/5 Bass: Good. Guide Brad Fowler reports that there are still spawning fish on Lake Keowee, particularly on the northern end of the lake. There is also a good topwater bite for post-spawn fish in the morning, and after that fish will take soft plastics in 15-30 feet. Lake Jocassee 3/17 Trout: Fair to good. Guide Sam Jones (864-280-9056) reports that while they are not wearing out the fish right now, some decent trout are being caught on Lake Jocassee. In the past week or so his boat has caught three fish over 5 pounds as well as plenty of fish in the 3-4 pound range. There are also plenty of sublegal stocker-sized fish to be caught. Fish are highly scattered out, and anglers are catching fish around pretty much all of their normal spots. Sam says it’s rare to hear of someone fishing in their preferred area where they have confidence and not catching fish.
