Eiffel Tower dark in City of Light France mourns; death toll at 129 PARIS — The Eiffel Tower stood dark in a symbol of mourning Saturday night as France struggled to absorb

the deadliest violence on its soil since World War II: coordinated gun-and-suicide bombing attacks across Paris that left at least 129 people dead and 352 injured. President Francois Hollande vowed that France would wage “merciless” war

on the Islamic State group, which claimed responsibility for the mayhem, as investigators raced to track down their accomplices and uncovered possible links to networks in Belgium and Syria. Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said three groups of

attackers, including seven suicide bombers, carried out the “act of barbarism” that shattered a Parisian Friday night. He said the attackers in the Bataclan concert hall, where 89 people died, mentioned Syria and Iraq during their rampage. Of the hundreds

BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com About 15 local girls received advice on how to plan for their futures during the Just in Jewels project session at Patriot Hall Saturday. Founder Lawanda Pendergrass said the goal of the project is to spread leadership through girl talk, modesty, respect and love. She said the girls will learn life lessons that they can share with the community. Pendergrass said she started the group after God placed it on her heart to reach out to young girls in the community and share knowledge from her experiences. The group is open to girls ages 13 through 18 who will spend quality time on sessions, networking, outreach and other activities, she said. During Saturday’s session, the girls created vision boards, detailing their plans for their educations and career goals. The girls also listened to guest speakers who shared advice on how to be successful in their daily lives and how to prepare for college.

Lawanda Pendergrass talks about the “Green Monster” and how it helped her to realize her own strengths during the Just In Jewels seminar on Saturday at Patriot Hall. Later during the session, Pendergrass talked to the girls about overcoming negative circumstances and staying strong when others try to tear them down. When someone says you can’t do something, that’s when you have to be strong, she said. As the sessions continue, Pendergrass hopes the girls will open up more about

their experiences and find that they can trust one another. She said parents are welcome to attend the sessions to hear what is being discussed. Throughout the rest of the year, the girls will complete several activities including a modesty fashion show and an etiquette session in December, aimed to

foster the girls’ confidence. Pendergrass said the Jewels group will meet with other girls’ groups to share their stories and learn from each other. She also hopes to start an annual summer camp within the next year. For more information about Just in Jewels, contact Lawanda Pendergrass at lawandap1@gmail.com.

S.C. chief justice announces court filings to go digital “This is the capstone of my career,” said South Carolina Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Jean Toal on Friday as she introduced a new electronic filing system to members of the Sumter Bar Association and others at the Sumter County Judicial Center. Toal, who retires on Jan. 1, has served on the state Supreme Court since 1988 and as Chief Justice since 2000. She has long been known as an ardent supporter of using technology in the court system. According to her online biography, she has been the chief advocate of the state’s Judicial Automation Project. For her work in improving the courts’ use of technology she was a 2002 recipient of Government Technology Magazine’s “Top 25 Doers, Dreamers & Drivers” of technology in government award. “It’s been quite a ride,” Toal said. “And now, it is on your shoulders.” The new system will allow attorneys to electronically file documents any time and is intended to reduce paperwork and save time, Toal said. “The court system is trying to upgrade, and they are going to be using this new system in several counties to get it up and started to work out the bugs,” said Third District Solicitor Ernest “Chip” Finney III. “Filing of all the paperwork will be done electronically. At first it is only in civil court, but in two years they hope to expand it.” In addition, once a document is filed, it cannot be misplaced, Toal said, noting that paper documents can be filed incorrectly, pulled from files or just left sitting in an office. “The worst offenders are judges,” she said. Toal said she chose to launch the

She recalled her advocacy of using technological innovation in the court system, and said it was the education system that first used the Internet for case management.

She said back when dial-up Internet was the norm, they had to install fast connections in many rural locations where courts meet. “This has been quite a journey from when we had enormous backlogs and kept cases on index cards,” Toal said. All attorneys must begin using the system in Clarendon County on Dec. 9, in Sumter and Lee Counties on Jan. 19 and in Williamsburg County on Feb. 8.

THE SUMTER ITEM

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2015

Campaign biographies may be stretched WASHINGTON (AP) — For most presidential candidates, a compelling personal history is an essential item in the campaign tool kit. Think Hillary Rodham Clinton and her campaign statements about fighting for women. Marco Rubio and his biography of the immigrant family that made good. Carly Fiorina and her “secretary to CEO” career path. Ben Carson and his up-by-the-bootstraps persona. For an electorate hungering for authenticity, a strong back story matters. But, just as tales at the dinner table sometimes get embellished, so do stories on the campaign trail. Blame human nature, fuzzy memory or political calculation. Some candidate narratives are rock solid. Others fall apart on closer inspection. And many fall somewhere in between: a little bit cock-eyed or requiring the addition or subtraction of a key detail or two. Questions about a biography can be telling to voters, though, Renshon says. “If your biography is suspect, and who you say you are needs to be revised frequently then how are we going to be tell whether or not, when you say you are going to do something for us, that you actually will wind up doing that?” said Stanley Renshon, a political psychologist at New York University. A closer look at some of the tales told by the campaign class of 2016 — and the back story to those back stories.

HILLARY CLINTON

brows this week with her Veterans Day tale of checking out whether she should join the Marines back in 1975. She was 27 that year, the year she married Bill Clinton and was working as a lawyer in Arkansas. She said the Marine recruiter “looks at me and he goes, ‘Um, how old are you?’ “ Clinton recalled. “And I said, ‘Well, I’m 26, I’ll be 27.’ And he goes, ‘Well, that’s kind of old for us.’ And then he says to me ... ‘Maybe the dogs will take you,’ “ meaning the Army.” Why would Clinton, a lawyer, want to join the Marines? The idea was met with skepticism back in 1994, when she told the story as first lady, and again this week, when Republicans used it as an opportunity to rehash any number of alleged Clintonian embellishments. In response to a recent Associated Press query, her campaign said “her sole reason for visiting the recruitment center was to determine if there was a suitable opportunity for her to serve in some capacity. Her interest was sincere, and it is insulting, but not surprising, that Republicans would attack her for this, too. “ The episode inevitably brought fresh reminders of Clinton’s 2008 tale about a harrowing visit to war-torn Bosnia

Daniel Awosanya Clinton re-raised some eye-

in March 1996 as first lady. Clinton, during her 2008 run for president, recalled landing under sniper fire and running with her head down to get in her vehicle. Security was very tight on Clinton’s goodwill tour to Bosnia, but officials said at the time that she took no extraordinary risks. Video of the visit shows her being greeted by a child on the tarmac and given a warm hug — not ducking and running.

BEN CARSON The retired neurosurgeon and political neophyte has crept to the front of Republican polls with his inspirational tale of rising above an impoverished upbringing in Detroit and overcoming violent tendencies as a youth to reach the top ranks of medicine. His campaign has brought a cascade of questions about elements of his personal history. Carson last week clarified previous claims that he’d been offered a scholarship to West Point, saying that while he’d been told he could get an appointment to the school, he never applied. He also faced questions about his oft-repeated claim that he tried to stab a close friend as a teenager. Citing privacy concerns, his campaign has refused to name

the person involved. Carson said at the latest GOP debate that he’d faced lies about his life story and undergone unprecedented public scrutiny. “Thank you for not asking me what I said in the 10th grade. I appreciate that,” he told the moderators.

CARLY FIORINA Fiorina loves to recount her tale of rising from a secretary position to the executive suite at Hewlett-Packard as a story that is “only possible in this nation and proves that every one of us has potential.” This isn’t exactly a rags-toriches story, though. Her father was a lawyer and her mother was an abstract painter. Fiorina’s stint as a secretary at a real estate brokerage firm came when the Stanford graduate quit law school after deciding it wasn’t for her. “I answered the phones. I typed. I filed,” she recounted in a 2001 commencement address at Stanford. “My parents were, understandably, quite concerned. This wasn’t exactly what they’d hoped for for their Stanford graduate.” Eventually, she went off to Italy to teach English, and then decided to go to business school and get an MBA.

MARCO RUBIO Rubio’s bio on his Senate website says his parents “came to America from Cuba in 1956 and earned their way to the middle class working humble jobs — my father as a bartender in hotels and my mom as a maid, cashier and retail clerk.” That’s a revised version of

the story Rubio related early on as a freshman senator, when he offered himself as “the son of exiles” who “understand what it means to lose the gift of freedom.” His Senate biography once said he was “born in Miami to Cuban-born parents who came to America after Fidel Castro’s takeover.” In fact, Rubio’s parents left for Miami nearly three years before Castro seized power in a revolution against dictator Fulgencia Batista. Rubio’s father was a store security guard when he and his wife left and came to the U.S. for economic reasons, his staff said in 2011. Rubio said then his family had tried to return to Cuba in March 1961 but quickly left because they did not want to live under communism.

DONALD TRUMP Trump’s status as super-rich businessman is an integral part of his campaign persona as a self-made capitalist success story who had beat long odds. “I mean, my whole life really has been a ‘no,’ “ Trump, the son of a successful real estate developer, told New Hampshire voters last month. “And I fought through it.” He did have a little help along the way, though. “I started off in Brooklyn. My father gave me a small loan of $1 million,” Trump said. “I came into Manhattan and I had to pay him back. I had to pay him back with interest. “ Describing a $1 million as a “small loan” caused a few double-takes. As for his wealth, Trump is proud to declare himself worth $10 billion.

Rite Aid genetic kit can test prescriptions’ effectiveness BY TOM MURPHY AP Business Writer Rite Aid is giving patients a chance to peek over their doctor’s shoulder with genetic tests that help determine the effectiveness of some prescriptions. The drugstore chain said Thursday that it is selling Harmonyx testing kits at nearly all of its stores. The kits cost between $49 and $89

without a prescription, and customers can use them to learn more about the effectiveness of medicines for cardiac conditions, cholesterol and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The kits delve into a growing area of medical care, with doctors using genetic analysis more in specialties such as cardiology and oncology to make sure that what they prescribe is a good fit for their patients. The

kits also broaden the array of self-administered patient tests that drugstores have offered for years, a portfolio that can include tests for pregnancy, drugs and paternity. But tests that explore a drug’s effectiveness are more complex than those that just detect pregnancy hormones. Genetic counselor Joy Larsen Haidle says patients should talk to their doctor before buying a test kit.

Make snacks count toward your body’s nutritional needs

wenty-year-old Martin Sellick had been journaling his foods for more than a year, tracking it on his favorite nutrition app. “It was a quick way for me to track my calories and to make sure I was eating a wellrounded diet,” he said. Journaling food is a common tool used for identifying habits or foods that are possibly hindering weight-loss goals and progress. It can also help identify foods that lack essential nutrients or those that provide Missy an adequate Corrigan supply. Thirty years ago, snacking was what we did between our three daily meals, but today snacking is quickly replacing meals, especially among millenials. Research shows that this generation eats snack foods for meals more than any other generation. While skipping meals and a lack of planning increases snacking habits, it is also the decline in family meals that promotes snacking. According to the Hartman group, snacking is not about the type of food but about how it is consumed: eating in a car, in front of the TV or at a table. Snacks tend to be portable items such as yogurt, chips, fruit, bars and baked goods. Snacking is a quick and convenient way to get some food in without having to put much thought or effort into meal planning. It requires a lot less time for those with busy

schedules and for those who tend to skip meals. Snacking can also help fill nutrition gaps if healthy foods are chosen. While snacks can be nutrient dense, many are high in calories and low in nutrients. Research shows that the greatest amount of snack calories comes from cookies, candy and pastries. In fact, approximately 24 percent of cal-

ories in American diets come from snacking. A recent survey shows that chips and fruit are the most popular afternoon snacks and that ice cream and candy are the most popular evening snacks. While it may be important to keep calories in check while snacking, it is much more important to use snacking as a time to supply the body with

much-needed nutrients. After analyzing Martin’s food log, he realized that he was forgetting to track his daily snacks. This is common for many who forget about the handful of popcorn or other bites of food they take because they aren’t paying attention or just aren’t counting snacks as part of their daily food intake. It is important to remember

that every food and beverage you consume counts. To be mindful of your snacking, health experts recommend that you slow down and pay attention to your body when you eat. While you may have intended to have a handful of chips, it’s easy to eat the entire bag when you are watching TV because you aren’t paying attention.

old girl and 3-year-old boy whose adoptions were approved more than two years ago. “When we were told that the 14 children were getting exit permits, we were just elated for those families — we’ve all been in this together,” Julie Massie said. “But on the same day we were told that the remaining children will have to wait for new laws to be passed, and there’s no telling how long that will take,” she added. “That was the devastating part of the news.” Authorities in Congo put a halt to international adoptions in 2013, saying their adoption system was beset

by corruption and falsified documents. The children’s adoptions had been legally approved by the Congolese courts before the government suspended exit permits. Last month, the Congolese government said it would authorize the departure of 72 children, including 14 to the U.S. “All the other adoption dossiers will wait until the new law on adoptions currently under debate is finalized,” Justice Minister Alexis Thambwe Mwamba said. “Until the new law is approved, we will no longer discuss these international adoption cases.”

Police dog defies pit bull stereotypes Obesity expands among adults BY DAVID KLEPPER The Associated Press

STONE RIDGE, N.Y. — The new rookie at one New York police department weighs 60 pounds, has a big, lolling tongue, a soft caramel coat and a chance to fight stereotypes in addition to crime. When she graduates Friday from K-9 training school, Kiah will be one of just a few pit bulls to serve as a police dog. It’s a job usually given to breeds that don’t come with the pit bull’s reputation — deserved or not — as a savage animal fit only for the company of criminals. “The breed isn’t important,” said Brad Croft, who trains dogs for law enforcement and the military and found Kiah in a Texas animal shelter after her previous owner was arrested for animal cruelty. “It’s what’s inside of the dog that’s important.” German shepherds and Belgian Malinois are most commonly employed as police and military dogs, trained to chase and detain suspects or find drugs, cadavers and missing people. Beagles, collies, retrievers and bloodhounds are also used. Pit bull police dogs are almost unheard of. Kiah will be a sniffer for Poughkeepsie Police Department, used to detect drugs and track missing people. She’s also a goodwill ambassador, for her breed and for the police. “She wants to work,” said Kiah’s handler, Officer Justin Bruzgul. “She’s high energy. Affectionate. I couldn’t ask for a better partner.” Croft often visits animal shelters looking for abandoned dogs that he thinks would make good police dogs. He selected Kiah after a worker at the shelter recognized something special in the dog. Kiah was given to the department at no cost thanks to a partnership between Croft’s company, San Antonio-based Universal K9, an Austin ani-

Police officer Justin Bruzgul works with Kiah at K-9 school on Nov. 4 in Stone Ridge, New York. Kiah, a two-and-a-half-year-old pit bull, will soon join Poughkeepsie Police Department as a crime-fighting, drug-sniffing police dog, a move that advocates of the breed say will counter the stereotypical image of the dog as a dangerous breed beloved by criminals. mal shelter, and Animal Farm Foundation, a nonprofit based in New York’s Dutchess County that works to ensure “equal treatment and opportunity” for pit bulls. Traditional K-9 breeds cost as much as $15,000 per dog. Despite frightening stories from across the country — a 9-year-old girl was fatally attacked by a pit bull this month on Long Island

— advocates say the breed’s reputation for violence is undeserved, the result of the breed’s use in dogfighting and as a status symbol for gang leaders. There’s little connection between a dog’s breed and its aptitude for police work, according to George Carlson, the Ulster County sheriff’s deputy who trained Kiah in Stone Ridge, New York. He said a

dog’s drive, energy and eagerness to please are more important factors. Kiah is the only pit bull police dog that he’s heard of on the East Coast, Carlson said. He calls her a “sweetheart” and expects her to excel in her new job. “Dogs are individuals,” he said. “They have their own personalities, just like people. And I’d rather train dogs than people.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Obesity is still rising among American adults, despite more than a decade of public-awareness campaigns and other efforts to get people to watch their weight, and women have now overtaken men in the obese category, new government research shows. For the past several years, experts thought the nation’s alarming, decades-long rise in obesity had leveled off. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report Thursday that the obesity rate climbed to nearly 38 percent of adults in 2013-14, up from 32 percent about a decade earlier. “This is a striking finding” and suggests that a situation that was thought to be stable is getting worse, said Dr. William Dietz, an obesity expert at George Washington University. But another authority, the University of North Carolina’s Barry Popkin, urged caution, saying the participants selected for the study may not have been representative of the nation as a whole. Experts said they had no explanation for why the obesity rate appears to be rising. The report also found a tipping of the scales toward women. Obesity rates for men and women had been roughly the same for about a decade. But in the new report, the rate was significantly higher for women, at 38 percent, compared with 34 percent for men. Obesity — which means not merely overweight, but seriously overweight — is considered one of the nation’s leading public health problems.

Feds nab sex traffickers in South Dakota SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — It was an anonymous two-story house with an outdoor side staircase, nothing that looked ominous to Kevin Koliner when he passed by going to and from work. On one evening stroll, the federal prosecutor heard loud noises but figured it was just a party. Later, he’d discover the ugly truth. In a squalid second-floor apartment, just blocks from the U.S. attorney’s office, Mohammed Sharif Alaboudi ran a violent sex trafficking ring, preying on young, troubled women. He plied them with drugs and alcohol, gave them clothes and a place to stay, and forced them to engage in sex acts with strangers. Prosecutors dubbed his place a “house of horrors.” The case of Alaboudi, now serving four life terms, offers a glimpse into how the feds are waging an aggressive campaign to root out the illicit sex trade lurking in this seemingly unlikely locale: a low-crime state dotted with sleepy hamlets. “We’re just a friendly state, and I think traffickers see this as a trusting place and think, ‘They’re never going to catch me. They’re not so bright,’” says Jenise Pischel, program coordinator at Our Home Inc., a private nonprofit that has helped trafficked girls, including a 14-year-old in the Alaboudi case. “Well, we seem to be catching an awful lot of them.” In recent years, the feds have pursued about 50 sex trafficking cases, three re-

Bolstered by state and local authorities, they’re also getting support from Native American tribes, church groups and the Junior League. The cases have ranged from predator stings at the last three Sturgis motorcycle rallies to busts of lucrative businesses that have transported girls as young as 14 to cities across the Midwest. Police also have detected a circuit some traffickers travel that includes the Bakken oil fields in North Dakota. Most traffickers have been transplants with criminal records; two serving life were reputed Chicago gang members. Customers, or those caught in stings, have ranged from a Texas air traffic controller nabbed at Sturgis after answering a bogus online ad offering sex with a 12-yearold (his sentence: 15 years) to a Lamborghini-driving local

doctor who prescribed illegal Oxycodone to a trafficker (his punishment: 22 months.) While trafficking exists across the nation, there’s something distinctive about South Dakota: About half the women in the federal cases have been Native American, a particularly vulnerable population. “You’ve got poverty; you have high, high rates of sexual abuse, which is often a precursor to prostitution, and you have just a sense of desperation on the reservation in terms of day-to-day life,” says Sarah Deer, a law professor at William Mitchell College in Minnesota and an expert on domestic violence in Native American communities. Native American women with drug or alcohol problems are especially susceptible, Deer adds. “It’s, ‘Come to Sioux Falls. Come to Rapid City. I’ll make sure that you

get the crack that you need. All you have to do is do some favors.’” A broad coalition is tackling the problem. Federal prosecutors have trained tribal law enforcement at all nine reservations on how to identify trafficking. Police have led workshops for motel workers. The Junior League has spoken about trafficking at schools, PTOs and 4-H clubs, financed billboards and prepared TV public service ads. Though South Dakota has a pastoral image, police and prosecutors say its remoteness, pockets of poverty and highway system attract traffickers. Some have migrated here “to be a bigger fish in a smaller pond,” says Brendan Johnson, former U.S attorney. “They found less competition than they would have in a larger community,” he said. It was Johnson, now in private practice, who began emphasizing the issue about five years ago, knowing convictions could bring stiff sentences. The federal mandatory minimum generally is 10 to 15 years.

Brandon Thompson, who controlled about 20 young women — he met some by hanging out near an alternative high school — is serving a life sentence. He pleaded guilty in 2011 to sex trafficking and solicitation to murder a federal witness. He’d attempted to recruit a cellmate to murder two teenage girls who were part of the ring, Koliner says. Thompson’s approach, the prosecutor says, was typical for traffickers: Seek out young women, many from broken homes and with histories of substance abuse. Lavish them with gifts and attention, act as boyfriend or manager, promise them a way to earn a lot of money. “These guys might be bad at a lot of things in life, but they are excellent at finding that girl in a crowd, spotting the Little Red Riding Hood,” Koliner says. The most notorious case involved Alaboudi. At his trial, four young women told graphic stories of how he prostituted and sexually abused them and threatened and physically assaulted them if they resisted.

PARIS FROM PAGE A1 concert venue during a show by an American rock band — an attack on the heart of the pulsing City of Light. Ahsan Naeem, a 39-year-old filmmaker, said he’s been to many of the places that were attacked Friday. “I’ve seen dozens of gigs at the Bataclan. Eaten at the Petit Cambodge. Sat outside Le Carillon on so many nights,” said Naeem, who has lived in Paris for seven years. “All those places will have been full of my people. My friends. My acquaintances.” Late Saturday, a crowd of up to 250 people gathered for an impromptu candlelight vigil at the Place de la Republique, the site of a massive demonstration in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo killings earlier this year. Adrien Chambel, a 27-year-old law student, said the crowd was much sparser than in January. “You feel that people are petrified,” Chambel said. Hollande, who declared three days of national mourning and raised the nation’s security to its highest level, called the carnage “an act of war that was prepared, organized, planned from abroad with internal help.” The president said France would increase its military efforts to crush IS. He said France — which is part of a U.S.-led coalition bombing suspected IS targets in Syria and Iraq and also has troops fighting Islamic militants in Africa — “will be merciless toward the barbarians of Islamic State group.” The Islamic State group claimed responsibility in an online statement in Arabic and French circulated by supporters. It was not immediately possible to confirm the authenticity of the claim, which bore the group’s logo and resembled previous verified statements from the group. The statement called Paris “the capital of prostitution and obscenity” and mocked France’s air attacks on suspected IS targets in Syria and Iraq, saying France’s air power was “of no use to them

Some 3,000 troops were deployed to help restore order and reassure a frightened populace. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve announced that all public demonstrations would be banned until Thursday and local governments throughout the country would have the option to impose nightly curfews. The attacks, on an unusually balmy November Friday evening, struck at the heart of Parisian nightlife, including at a soccer match, which draws together spectators of all social classes and backgrounds. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said the attacks had targeted the Paris of diversity, “probably because this example of living together, which is so strong in our city, is unbearable for fanatical people.” Parisians expressed shock, disgust and defiance in equal measure.

SHOEBOXES

SANTEE AREA COLLECTION SITES

FROM PAGE A1 shoebox-sized container with small items for a girl or a boy, then take it to the nearest collection site during the week of Nov. 16 through Nov. 23 for loading and shipping to Samaritan’s Purse headquarters in Charlotte. From there, they will be sent to needy children in countries around the world. Sandra Smipes of Bishopville is the Santee area church relations coordinator for the Santee area, which comprises Sumter, Lee and Clarendon counties. Her role, she said, is “to try to recruit churches to participate in the program.” She has also assisted with the shoebox collection in her own church, Bishopville Nazarene. “We’ve only got 14 or 15 members,” Smipes said, “but we’ve already assembled 1,001 shoeboxes. That’s twice as many as last year. We purposely collected 1,001, so we could say we collected more than 1,000.” She laughed and added, “Of course, we got a lot of help though donations from local businesses.”

A young girl receives the 100 millionth Operation Christmas Child shoebox delivery in Dominican Republic as her friends look on or inspect their own boxes. The week of Nov. 16 through 23 is National Collection Week; there are four sites in Sumter, Clarendon and Lee counties that collect the boxes and ship them to Charlotte to be flown to young children around the world. She said suggested items to fill the boxes include school supplies, notebooks, underwear, hygiene items, jump ropes, socks and shoes such as flip flops or sandals. Samaritan’s Purse suggests “filling shoeboxes with a Wow! item — like a doll or deflated soccer ball ... and including a note of encouragement.” Smipes’ church has refurbished Barbie dolls and made clothes for them, she said.

Not acceptable are chocolate or liquid items; however, hard candies can be included. A donation of $7 is suggested to help defray shipping costs.

Sumter United Ministries asks for heaters, volunteers BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com Sumter United Ministries continues to provide families with much needed supplies, including food, water, clothes and now that its getting colder outside, heaters. United Ministries Director Mark Champagne said it is not unique for the ministry to provide heaters during the fall and winter, but the flood has increased the numbers of families in need. A lot of people had duct work taken

out of their houses and are waiting to have new ones installed. The AC guys have a backed up client list, too, he said. Champagne recently bought 15 heaters for a total of about $1,000. United Ministries usually distributes three heaters at a time, one large heater and two smaller ones, he said. He said people can donate new heaters or money to purchase heaters at the United Ministries building, 36 Artillery Drive. Champagne said there are many families that need heaters, and the ministry is working on creating a sys-

tem to get in touch with them all. If a family can show an estimate of the duct work, that could be enough for them to receive heaters, he said. Champagne said United Ministries is also looking for more volunteers. He said another issue some families are experiencing is water leaking through the roof. He said the leaking roofs are a big issue because some families have discovered that Federal Emergency Management Agency and insurance will not cover the damages. Champagne said the roofs may have been fine before the storm but could

not handle the amount of rain that fell during the storm. Another problem is that leaking roofs can lead to mold in the home which can add to recovery costs, he said. United Ministries is asking volunteers to give three days to help families in need. Champagne said volunteers would be sent to several houses that need roofs covered with tarp. For information on how to volunteer with United Ministries, call 803-775-0757 or visit sumterunitedministries.org.

Sumter is fortunate to have Fisette O

ne of Sumter’s most generous citizens on Thursday received recognition he never sought but which was richly

deserved. Robert D. “Bob” Fisette, a Vietnam War army veteran, was presented a long-overdue Bronze Star for Valor during combat action in 1970 in a ceremony at the U.S. Army Basic Combat Training graduation at Fort Jackson in

EDITORIAL Columbia. In addition to that, he was honored with the Purple Heart medal for being wounded in 1971 while engaged in combat action in Vietnam. In addition to his military service, Fisette has contributed unselfishly to local charities that includes The Sumter Item’s Fireside Fund. Every fall when the Fireside Fund kicks off, Fi-

sette is usually first in line with a substantial donation that goes to assist the deserving needy in Sumter in paying for heating bills during the cold winter months. We FISETTE know him well at The Sumter Item, where he stops by quietly and unobtrusively and delivers his donation. His generosity is

legendary, and is greatly appreciated by The Sumter Item and The Salvation Army, which sees to it that the donated funds are properly distributed to the truly needy. Fisette served our nation with honor and heroism. Now he continues his service, this time to our community. We thank him for his service. Sumter is fortunate to have such a good citizen in its midst.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR HOW MUCH FURTHER CAN OUR COUNTRY FALL? What a wonderful story from Coach Wallie Jones in today’s (Friday’s) editorial page. I found there was about 8 truths in that story. It should be shared with young people by parents, teachers and anyone who can realize the meaning and who is smart enough to understand the consequences of Johnny’s “sensitivity” and “false thinking.” Our country parallel’s this story today. The biggest problem is the people who are so “sensitive” and have such “low self-esteem” that they can’t see what is real. Therefore, they want to control others speech and behavior. How much further can our country fall before we can start to climb back up? I always enjoy your editorials coach. How did you get so smart? JACQUELINE K. HUGHES Sumter

BURNS’ LETTER GIVES READER A LAUGH Reading Mr. Burns’ letter concerning the incident at Spring Valley High School made me chuckle. As I have stated in a previous letter that I attended Hillcrest High School back in the early and mid 70’s, the same school that Mr. Burns taught/admin’ed at. I just don’t see Mr. Burns doing anything to stop someone who was disruptive in his classes. Granted, back then, we didn’t have the problems as schools have nowadays, and maybe that’s what missing. Going back to the good old days. Mr. Burns, why are you taking up for this 16-year-old girl? She disrupted the class; she was told several times to turn her phone over; she flat out refused several times to comply. But since teachers and staff are not allowed to physically touch a student, the SRO was brought in. And when she refused his lawful order, she was forced to comply. And I’m guessing you didn’t see the video of her assaulting him. Truth is, I know you saw it, but being the type of person you are, you saw this as a ‘white on black issue.’ And, yes she has an attorney, but all he is interested in is the 33 percent of the payout she is going to receive. The SRO doesn’t owe her family anything. And you think it’s a sin for what the officer did? He did his job. Like you, I am also a father. And trust me, had my daughter refused to comply with school officials, and more importantly, failed to comply with a police officer, the punishment she would have received at home would

have been, well, let’s just say the problem would have been ‘behind’ her. DENNIS VICKERS Wedgefield

METAXAS WILL SPEAK AT WILSON HALL THURSDAY Wilson Hall has enjoyed being a part of the Sumter community for 50 years. During that time the school has grown and prospered, and we would like to give back to the community, which has been so good to us. On Thursday, Nov. 19, at 7 p.m. in the Nash Student Center, we will be hosting Eric Metaxas as our featured speaker for the Wilson Hall Mission Series. Eric Metaxas is a Christian apologist and is best known for his two biographies, “Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery” and his New York Times No.1 best-seller, “Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy.” He is a man with diverse writing talents having authored more than 30 children’s books and scripts for VeggieTales. Not just a writer, Metaxas is the founder and host of the popular NYC-based event series, “Socrates in the City: Conversations on the Examined Life” and has been featured on CNN, MSNBC and the Fox News Channel as well as many radio programs, including NPR’s Morning Edition, Talk of the Nation and the Laura Ingraham Show. In 2012, Metaxas delivered the keynote speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. His books have been translated into 19 languages and his radio program attracts more than 8 million listeners. Metaxas will bring a strong Christian message to our community. He is an articulate man who speaks with a depth of thought coupled with a quick wit, which serves to keep his listeners actively engaged. His arrival in Sumter is a rare opportunity for our community. Like our two previous speakers, Dr. Ben Carson and Dr. Ravi Zacharias, Metaxas promises to bring a similar wisdom and significant insight. For those who are not familiar with Eric Metaxas, I encourage you to visit his website at www.ericmetaxas. com. Our intention is to provide a program which helps to bring our community together by inviting speakers who offer hope and inspiration for everyone. We invite the entire Sumter community to our campus for this free program and hope that all feel welcomed. Our doors will open at 6 p.m. FRED MOULTON Headmaster, Wilson Hall Sumter

We’re No. 1: Clemson football, domestic killings

e’re number 1! This is the glorious chant of Clemson football fans these days. They deserve it and all of us in the state ought to be proud of them. (Full Disclosure: In my family there are three Gamecocks; my wife, son and daughter are all proud alums. They bleed Garnett — so I’m all too aware that not everyone in South Carolina is proud of Clemson. Fair enough.) Regrettably, football is not the only national ranking where we in South Carolina can claim to be number one. We’re number one in the country in criminal domestic violence (or CDV) i.e. men and women who live under the same roof and killing each other. We moved up from number two last year. We’re making progress in the wrong direction. According to S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson, last year there were 29 women and 10 men killed by CDV. But deaths are only the tip of the iceberg. In 2013-14, more than 3,000 people requested emergency shelter and there were more than 20,000 emergency calls made to hotlines operated by the 13 domestic violence organizations in South Carolina. Think about that for a minute — 20,000 emergency calls. That’s about the same size as the entire student body of Clemson. And this is not something new to our state. According to this year’s report of the Violence Policy Center, this is the fourth time South Carolina has led the nation in this number one ranking and the 18th time in the report’s 18-year history that South Carolina has ranked in the top 10. Commendably, Wilson has taken a leadership role on this issue. At a recent State House ceremony marking the 18th Annual Silent Witness event in remembrance of CDV victims, Wilson said, “Domestic violence victims are all around us, in our neighborhoods, our workplaces and our places of

COMMENTARY worship ... Domestic violence affects all walks of life.” So, what is being done to deal with this problem? The answer is “something, but not enough”. First the “somePhil thing.” The Attorney Noble General’s office runs the STOP programs to try and tackle this difficult issue. According to Wilson’s website, the goals of the STOP program are twofold: one goal is to prosecute domestic violence and sexual assault cases. The other is to train law enforcement, judges, prosecutors, and victim advocates throughout the state about the causes, consequences and laws pertaining to domestic violence and sexual assault. Also, employees of the STOP program regularly give speeches, trainings and seminars in the state to make people aware of the issue and encourage them to take action. And beyond this, there are also 13 domestic violence shelters and centers around the state that are working on the grass roots level to raise awareness and help the victims that made these 20,000 calls for help. As bad as the current situation is, we have made progress, especially with the media’s attention to the issue. In August of last year, Charleston’s newspaper, The Post and Courier, did a remarkable five part series entitled ‘Till Death Do US Part’ on the issue. They were awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for the series — the highest award in all of journalism. This public shaming by The Post and Courier led the state legislature to pass a “minimally adequate” bill to address the issue. We should give the legislature (some) credit in that the bill they passed had (some) good pro-

visions. According to Wilson, the new law changes the current system where punishment is based on the number of offenses. The new law punishes abusers based on the severity of the attack, the number of prior offenses and other factors like whether the victim was strangled, is pregnant or children saw the abuse. And, in a significant victory over the gun lobby, the bill imposed a lifetime gun ban for the worst abusers and has an automatic three to ten year ban in other cases. Progress, but not enough. At the end of the day, it’s really about us. As Wilson said, “While this problem won’t be overcome with legislation alone, South Carolina has taken its first giant in the long journey to changing the culture of violence.” And it really is this culture of violence that is to blame ... and we, all of us, make up this culture. Football coaches talk about developing a “culture of winning”. It can be done — see Clemson above. But CDV is not about a game — it’s about life and death — at least for the 20,000 people who were abused and the 39 people who died. We can all do better. We can report any suspicion of violence, offer support to its victims, learn more about what each of us can do (see S.C. Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse, www.sccadvasa.org) and most of all, encourage our politicians to do more — because they can. So, all you Orange Tiger fans out there (and all you Gamecocks who hate them), enjoy the rest of the football season. But don’t forget that it’s not always good to be number one — when it comes to CDV, we can all do better.

Richard Riley to support big change and real reform. phil@scnewdemocrats.org

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Getting involved in something out of the ordinary will be eye-opening. What you learn through conversations with people with different life experiences than you will be enlightening. With the knowledge you gather, you can improve your life. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be tempted to get involved in something that is expensive or can lead to work-related difficulties. Put greater emphasis on improving yourself instead of getting involved in other people’s dilemmas. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’re heading toward an auspicious opportunity. Embrace something you’ve never tried before and discuss your thoughts with people from totally different backgrounds. Together you’ll come up with interesting ideas and build a longlasting friendship.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Organization and preparation will give you the confidence required to step up and make a difference. Your insight will help you offer workable solutions that will be praised by those you encounter along the way. A day trip will be informative.

Someone is likely to feed you poor information in an effort to deter you from following through with your plans. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Someone you least expect will encourage you. Don’t get angry with those who backed out or let you down. The experiences you have dealing with others will be a revelation that will help you make wiser choices in the future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Focus on friends and family and do your best to please. Don’t feel you have to overspend to win favors. It’s your time that will make the biggest impact on people who are important to you. Don’t take a financial risk.

FAMILY FROM PAGE A1 benefit barbecue events, so he asked him to put together a fundraising meal including barbecued chicken. Johnson would open the corporate checkbook to fund the supplies for the barbecue, and Burke would do the logistics of gathering grills, determining how much food was necessary, asking employees to volunteer to prepare the food and overseeing the grilling as well as all other aspects of the meal. Meanwhile, he tasked Christopher Floyd, Shirl Goodman and Rose Allsbrook with creating tickets, marketing the event to employees and administering the financial side of the event. What started as an idea with a few people asking for donations for co-workers blossomed into a major fundraising event that had donations pouring in from not only the Sumter BD plant, but also from people in the community and BD workers all around the world. BD employs 45,000 people worldwide. The leadership team decided an $8 meal ticket donation would get employees a home-cooked meal prepared on site by volunteers, mostly employees during their non-shift hours. As Floyd’s marketing campaign materialized, ticket sales escalated. Burke realized the number of meals was rising exponentially. He quickly did the math on four BD shifts a day, which would require six serving times. The team of volunteers would serve the first meal at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 15, and the last at 1 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17. Burke bought 2,350 chicken quarters from Piggly Wiggly at a reduced price, but volunteers had to clean and trim the chickens. And because chicken takes as long as two hours to cook, the grills would have to start early that Thursday morning and run through Saturday. Many volunteers, including Burke, volunteered that entire time. Burke just shrugged his shoulders and said, “When you got tired, you just remembered what these people went through, and it would re-energize you.” Burke likened the outpouring of support to a miracle. Every time he mentioned he needed another grill, someone came up with one. Before it was over, Burke was conducting a barbecue orchestra on 10 industrial-sized grills. When he sent out a request for a volunteer that was needed, four or five would volunteer. “Whenever there was a need, everyone stepped up,” Burke said. The results were awe inspiring for the company. Besides donations for the meals, some employees

Sumter opens playoffs at home against White Knoll By DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com Sumter High School will go into the 4A Division I football state playoffs as the No. 4 seed and will play host to White Knoll in the first round. The Gamecocks, who are 9-2 on the season after winning the Region VI title for the first time since 2009, will take on No. 13 seed White Knoll at

7:30 p.m. on Friday at Sumter Memorial Stadium’s Freddie Solomon Field. Since SHS is a No. 4 seed in the BARNES 16-team bracket, it will get a home game in the second round as well if it beats the Wolves. The winner between Sumter and WK will take on the winner of

the game between No. 5 seed Byrnes and No. 12 Gaffney. Sumter head coach Mark Barnes said he and his staff knew they would face either White Knoll or Gaffney in the first round. The determining factor was if Blythewood beat Spring Valley on Thursday. When the Bengals won, SHS knew White Knoll would be its foe. “We took Monday off,

practiced Tuesday, took Wednesday off and practiced Thursday and Friday,” the first-year head coach said. “The first two practices we spent on fundamentals, improving ourselves. When Blythewood won, we spent practice on Friday working on White Knoll. White Knoll is 7-4. The Timberwolves went 2-3 in Region V, finishing in a 3-way tie for

third. They come into the playoffs off of a 41-13 loss to Lexington. WK is averaging 29.2 points a game, but is allowing an average of 23.7. Barnes said the Wolves are very similar in style to his team. That means focusing on running the ball and trying to be physical.

Panthers put win streak up against Titans By TERESA M. WALKER The Associated Press

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Clemson’s Deshaun Watson (4) throws a pass during the Tigers’ 37-27 victory over Syracuse on Saturday in Syracuse, N.Y.

Watson, Tigers fend off pesky Syracuse to stay in hunt for College Football Playoff By JOHN KEKIS The Associated Press SYRACUSE, N.Y. — DeShaun Watson made sure Clemson stayed on track for a shot at the national championship. The sophomore also kept his name in the talk about the Heisman Trophy, accu-

mulating 461 total yards and accounting for three touchdowns to help the topranked Tigers hold off Syracuse 37-27 on Saturday. “We didn’t think we were going to come up here and just walk through and pick up a big win,” said Watson, who threw for 360 yards and two touchdowns and ran for

101 yards and another score. “We had to earn it. They came out and were pushing us and played ‘til the end. Glad to have this one and move on to the next.” The win gave the Tigers (10-0, 7-0 Atlantic Coast Conference; No. 1 CFP) at least 10 victories for the fifth straight season and their

first 10-0 start since they won their only national championship in 1981. With 13 straight wins, the Tigers also have their longest winning streak in 34 years. Watson completed 34 of 47 passes against a team that has now lost seven straight.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Carolina Panthers are on the best run in franchise history as the NFC’s lone remaining undefeated team. They’ve also stretched the NFL’s longest active regular-season winning streak to 12 straight dating back to last year. “We have a big target on our chest now, and everyone wants to beat the Carolina Panthers,’’ quarterback Cam Newton said. “And that is kind of how we have always wanted it.’’ Yet Panthers head coach Ron Rivera is worried about the next opponent, even when it’s the struggling Tennessee Titans. “They made a coaching change, they won last week, so their expectations are up,’’ Rivera said. “They played hard, they played well enough to win, most certainly. They beat a good New Orleans team that was coming off a couple wins as well, so they did some really good things. Do I expect a fight there? Most certainly.’’ The Titans (2-6) matched their win total for all of last season by beating New Orleans 34-28 in overtime in rookie Marcus Mariota’s first game back from a sprained left MCL. That also was the debut of interim coach Mike Mularkey, who made some scheme and lineup changes that kept the Heisman Trophy winner from being sacked. Mariota threw for 371 yards and four touchdowns in the win. Coming off a big 37-29 win over Green Bay, the Panthers (8-0) do need to show they can finish off teams. They have jumped to big leads in their past two games, only to need some big plays to remain undefeated. This also is the first of five road games over the next seven weeks for the Panthers.

Kevin Harvick is looking to win his fifth straight race at Phoenix and clinch a spot in the final Chase for the Cup championship race. But like all drivers, he knows that it’s every man for himself when it comes to chasing a title.

Every man for himself in dash to make Chase title race By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press AVONDALE, Ariz. — It could be feast or famine for three organizations trying to advance their drivers into NASCAR’s championship race. Only Jeff Gordon has locked up his spot in next week’s title-deciding race, and three spots are up for grabs today at Phoenix International Raceway. There’s seven drivers jockeying for those berths, and that group includes three sets of teammates. If Kevin Harvick makes it,

Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Kurt Busch could miss the cut. Same goes for Kyle Busch. Should he make the final four, Joe Gibbs Racing will likely fail to advance Carl Edwards. And the maddening issue at Team Penske? Both Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski came oh-so-close to clinching spots in the finale, but are instead on the outside desperately looking in. There’s a strong possibility neither advances past Sunday’s race, and if one does, it almost certainly will be at the expense of his teammate. So how do the six drivers

juggle what’s best for their own team with achieving maximum results for their organization on Sunday? They don’t. “Once we get out on the racetrack, it’s every man for himself,” Edwards said. A win by one of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship drivers on Sunday at Phoenix earns an automatic berth into the finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Gordon earned his spot by winning at Martinsville Speedway two weeks ago, but that victory likely was going to Logano before he was wrecked while leading.

Alabama (9-1, 6-1, No. 2 CFP) easily survived its last major test before the Iron Bowl in two weeks. The Tide shook off a slow start thanks to three long touchdowns in the second quarter, starting with a 69yard punt return by Cyrus Jones. Calvin Ridley scored on a 60yard touchdown catch from Jake Coker and Derrick Henry ran for a 74-yard touchdown as Alabama built an insurmountable 21-3 halftime lead. Henry added a 65-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Mississippi State (7-3, 3-3, No. 17 CFP) lost to the Tide for the eighth straight season.

Backup quarterback keeps Cowboys perfect AMES, Iowa — Backup quarterback J.W. Walsh threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Carr with 3:06 left Saturday, giving No. 5 Oklahoma State a 35-31 victory over Iowa State and keeping the unbeaten Cowboys in playoff contention. Oklahoma State (10-0, 7-0 Big 12) trailed 24-7 and 31-21 before rallying for a victory that was short on style points but still critical. Walsh drew the Cowboys to 31-28 with a 16-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter and OSU drove 84 yards in 11 plays for the winning score after forcing a punt. Starter Mason Rudolph got Oklahoma State to the Iowa State 7 and Walsh, usually the team’s running quarterback, took it from here. He hit Carr with a swing pass on the left side and two blocks sprung the freshman to the end zone. (2) Ohio State 28 Illinois 3

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Ezekiel Elliott ran for 181 yards and two touchdowns and No. 2 Ohio State pounded out a 28-3 win over Illinois on Saturday. The Buckeyes (10-0, 6-0 Big Ten) started slowly and led 7-3 for much of the first half before Elliott picked up the pace. Elliott accounted for 50 of the Buckeyes’ 75 yards on a third quarter drive that opened a 21-3 lead over the Illini (5-5, 2-4). His 10-yard scoring run with just under 10 minutes left closed out the scoring. Quarterback J.T. Barrett, starting again after being suspended for last week’s game, threw for 150 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He also ran for 74 yards. (13) TCU 23 Kansas 17

FORT WORTH, Texas — Trevone Boykin left with an apparent right ankle injury and No. 13 TCU’s offense did just enough without its Heisman Trophy candidate to edge winless Kansas 23-17 Saturday. On his second play of the game, Boykin turned awkwardly on his right ankle as he slipped while trying to cut and was tackled by Kansas linebacker Joe Dineen Jr. The

Florida State’s Sean Maguire (10) attempts a pass against N.C. State on Saturday during the Seminoles’ 34-17 come-from-behind victory in Tallahassee, Fla.

Maguire, ‘Noles rally past Wolfpack TALLAHASSEE, Fla.— Sean Maguire came off the bench to rally No. 19 Florida State to a 34-17 victory over North Carolina State on Saturday. The Seminoles (8-2, 6-2 ACC, No. 16 CFP) trailed 17-7 in the second quarter when Maguire replaced Everett Golson. The junior then led them to four straight scoring drives (two field goals, two touchdowns) to take control. Maguire, who had started the past two games, was 18 of 28 for 231 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Golson had turnovers on three of five drives and finished 5 of 9 for 52 yards and two interceptions. Dalvin Cook, who set Florida State’s single-season rushing record, had 138 yards on 22 carries, including a 30-yard touchdown. Jacoby Brissett accounted for 236 all-purpose yards for N.C. State (6-4, 2-4 ACC). He was 27 of 47 for 209 yards and a touchdown along a rushing touchdown. (6) Notre Dame 28 Wake Forest 7

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Josh Adams scored on a 98-yard run, the longest scoring play in Notre Dame history, and defensive end Andrew Trumbetti scored on a 28-yard interception as the sixth-ranked Fighting Irish beat Wake Forest 28-7 Saturday despite struggling offensively.

Adams started and ran for 141 yards with Notre Dame’s leading rusher C.J. Prosise sidelined while recovering from a concussion. Adams, who was fourth on the Irish depth chart in the preseason, posted his second straight 100yard game and third of the season. DeShone Kizer added touchdown runs of 12 and five yards for the Irish (9-1, No. 4 CFP). John Wolford scored on a 1-yard run in the third quarter for Wake Forest (3-7), but the Demon Deacons squandered three other red-zone chances. (17) North Carolina 59 Miami 21

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Marquise Williams accounted for four touchdowns and Ryan Switzer had a 78-yard punt return for a score, leading No. 17 North Carolina’s dominating performance in a 59-21 win against Miami on Saturday. Williams ran for 101 yards and three touchdowns and threw for a TD for the Tar Heels (9-1, 6-0 Atlantic Coast Conference, No. 23 CFP), who won their ninth straight to stay alone atop the Coastal Division and move within a victory of a berth in the league championship game. Elijah Hood ran for 132 yards and a score for UNC, which ook advantage of penalties, turnovers and mistakes by the Hurricanes (6-4, 3-3) to turn the game into a romp.

Pittsburgh 31 Duke 13 DURHAM, N.C. — Nate Peterman tied a career high with three touchdown passes to lead Pittsburgh past Duke 31-13 on Saturday. Peterman was 13 of 23 for 180 yards with touchdowns of 11 yards to Zach Challingsworth, 3 yards to J.P. Holtz and 5 yards to Dontez Ford. Qadree Ollison added 111 yards rushing with a late 1-yard TD to help Pitt (7-3, 5-1) snap a two-game losing streak and keep its slim Coastal Division hopes alive. Parker Boehme was 23 of 42 for 248 yards with an interception and a 1-yard touchdown run for Duke (6-4, 3-3), which has lost three straight. Louisville 38 Virginia 31

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Brandon Radcliff rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns as Louisville beat Virginia 38-31 on Saturday. The Cardinals (6-4, 5-2) broke open a 24-24 tie game with two fourth-quarter touchdowns. James Quick forced Virginia’s Olamide Zaccheaus to fumble on a punt return, setting up L.J. Scott’s 1-yard score with 8:30 remaining. Radcliff’s 36-yard touchdown run capped a 96-yard drive with 2:57 left for a 38-24 lead over the Cavs (3-7, 2-4).

“They remind me a lot of us,” Barnes said. “They try to run the ball first and be physical on both sides of the ball. They’re good at what we try to do, and we don’t run into that very much. They’re comfortable playing our style of football and not everyone is.” The Gamecocks enter the playoffs on a roll. They are on a 5-game winning streak, all of them region contests. SHS outscored its region foes 210-24. For the season, Sumter has outscored its opposition 375132. The Gamecocks defeated Socastee 41-0 in the regular-season finale, the defense’s fourth shutout of the year. They have held opposing teams to seven points or less in seven games. Barnes said he is happy with the way his team handled itself with the off week caused by the start of the playoffs being pushed back a week due to the flood. “I’m real proud of my team,” he said. “We had an off week earlier in the season that was scheduled and we knew who we were

playing next. We weren’t supposed to have this one and we didn’t know who we were playing, but I felt like my players prepared well. “I feel like it’s important that we’re getting the opportunity to play at home,” he added. “I hope we have a great turnout this week and have a big, supportive crowd.” The No. 1 seed in DI is Dutch Fork, which handed Sumter its last loss. The Silver Foxes beat the Gamecocks 47-21. They will play host to Summerville in the first round. Undefeated and 11-0 Fort Dorchester is the second seed followed by Goose Creek at No. 3. Fort Dorchester plays host to Spring Valley while Goose Creek will take on Carolina Forest. Byrnes is 10-1 while Gaffney is 6-5.

Needing a TD to even the score, Liberty (5-4, 2-2) faced fourth-and-8 at Charleston Southern’s 41. The Bucs (9-1,

Williams connected with Ugo Ezemma for a 5-yard score in the second quarter and Reggie White Jr., from the 11 late in the third for what proved to be the game winner. Monmouth moved to 4-6, 2-3 in the Big South, while Presbyterian fell to 1-9, 0-5.

GREENVILLE, — Alex Lakes rushed for 141 yards and a touchdown and John Russ threw for 88 yards and two touchdowns as Mercer held on to beat Furman 27-20 in overtime on Saturday.

CLEMSON

USC

From Page B1 “Realistically, I didn’t think we had the horses to go make the run,” Elliott said. “I don’t know if anybody can sit up here and say we did.” It appears South Carolina’s season — and last chance for Elliott to make a major impact on his job chances — will come down to its rivalry game with No. 1 Clemson in two weeks. Florida used a fast start and a big play at the end to hold off the Gamecocks. Jordan Cronkrite had a 3-yard TD run and a 41-yard scoring pass from Treon Harris in the first half. Kelvin Taylor’s 53-yard run on third-and-8 with the Gators up just 17-14 sealed things for Florida. The win keeps Florida (9-1, 7-1 SEC, No. 11 CFP) in the College Football Playoff mix as a potential one-loss SEC champion. The Gators, 11th in the CFP ranking, clinched their spot in next month’s title game with their victory over Vanderbilt last week. That, too, came down to successful, late execution, the Gators getting the go-ahead field goal with 2:22 left in a 9-7 win. “There was never any panic,” Florida coach Jim McElwain said. “They somehow figured out a way to sweep the (SEC) East.”

From Page B1

Syracuse (3-7, 1-5 ACC) put up a good fight for embattled coach Scott Shafer, but fell to 1-10 against No. 1 teams. “There are a bunch of fighters in that room,” Shafer said. “We stay true to who we are, and that’s a team that will continue to play until the last whistle. Disappointed in the loss, but proud of the fact that the kids played extremely hard.” Syracuse made a game of it from the start, forcing two early fumbles and repeatedly finding gaping holes in the Clemson defensive line with walk-on Zack Mahoney at quarterback in only his second career start. The Orange rushed for 242 yards and scored their three touchdowns on the ground against a team that had allowed only nine rushing scores. Another peril survived on the rocky road to college football’s final four. “I know everybody thinks that we should just show up, go out there and kill everybody by 50 points, but that’s la-la land,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said. “This is football. Everybody has good players and good coaches. We made some mistakes.” Leading 31-17 at halftime, Clemson failed to score in the third quarter for the first time this season and the Orange closed to 31-24 on Mahoney’s 14-yard run. The Orange defense held Wayne Gallman in check as he managed 66 yards on 15 carries, boosting his season total to 1,043. His 14-yard run on fourth-and-2 early in the fourth quarter, though, proved key. It set up Greg Huegel’s 31yard field goal with 13:33 to play for a 34-24 lead. The Orange closed to 34-27 on Cole Murphy’s 24-yard field goal early in the fourth, but

Florida appeared to have this wrapped up much earlier, up 17-0 heading to the fourth quarter, with the defense having allowed only 44 yards. But South Carolina rallied with a throwback 17-yard touchdown from receiver Pharoh Cooper to quarterback Perry Orth, followed by Orth’s 38-yard scoring throw to Cooper moments later that cut the lead to 17-14 with 4:49 to go.

Carolina quarterback Cam Newton (1) and the unbeaten Panthers travel to Nashville today to take on the struggling Tennessee Titans.

From Page B1

“We have an opponent that we need to go get,’’ Panthers wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery said. If the Panthers win today, they’ll ensure another streak continues. The Titans have lost nine straight at home where coach Ken Whisenhunt was 1-11 before being fired Nov. 3. Linebacker Derrick Morgan says the Titans only want a win. “Then when you look at everything surrounding it, the drought at home and who we’re playing, it’s just added bonuses,’’ Morgan said.

NEWTON ON THE RUN Steve Young is the only quarterback in NFL history with more touchdowns rushing than Newton. But Young’s all-time mark of 43 — something he set during 15 seasons in the league — is in jeopardy. Newton, in just his fifth season, already has 38. Newton, the NFC offensive player of the week, downplayed the approaching milestone because “it’s all about the wins and losses with me.’’ Newton already has five TDs rushing this season heading up the NFL’s best ground attack.

RUSHING THE PASSER Look for Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott to bring the heat against Mariota. Carolina is coming off a five-sack performance last week against the Packers, the third time this season the Panthers have gotten five sacks in a game. The Panthers are finding ways to pressure the pass-

er despite being without their top pass rusher Charles Johnson, who is on short-term injured reserve with a hamstring injury. Johnson returned to practice this week but isn’t eligible to play until Thanksgiving Day against Dallas. Defensive tackle Kawann Short was voted NFC defensive player of the month for October after getting five sacks.

KEEP IT UP The Titans had their best game protecting the quarterback, with the Saints only able to hit Mariota twice. Mularkey changed two starters on the offensive line, used his tight ends more to help the blockers, and went to a quicker passing game. Mariota was at his best in the fourth quarter and overtime, completing 15 of 17 passes for 160 yards.

OLSEN A WEAPON Greg Olsen is in the midst of another Pro Bowl-caliber year for the Panthers. With top wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin out for the season with a torn ACL, Olsen has assumed the role of Newton’s primary target. He already has five TD receptions in 2015, becoming the only tight end with five or more touchdowns in every season since 2008. Olsen is known for his terrific hands, pulling in one-handed grabs in each of the last two games.

Oswego Fire Station’s barbecue is always popular with the crowds attending the Capt. Tom Garrity Firefighters BBQ Challenge. The station’s pitmasters have won the competition often and are anxious to take back their title from Concord Fire Station, which won both the Judges’ and the People’s Choice trophies last year.

Firefighters take barbecue challenge Saturday competition benefits Red Cross BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com Local firefighters and the American Red Cross Sandhills Chapter often work hand in hand to help families affected not just by house fires, but by other disasters, as well. On Saturday, they’ll work together again on an annual project that’s a lot more fun, but also benefits those families — The 6th Annual Capt. Tom Garrity Firefighters BBQ Challenge. Garrity, a longtime firefighter who died in 2012, was founder and president of G&G Metal Fabrications Inc. and Fire Equipment Services, where the competition was held for its first five years. He also originated the idea for the challenge, based on the fact that firefighters have long been recognized as excellent cooks. This year, the competition will take place at the Sumter County Fairgrounds. From 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., firefighters will be offering tastes of their barbecue to attendees; meanwhile, a group of professional judges from the Southern BBQ Network, or SBN, will be selecting the winner of the Firefighter Pit Master Award. Those ticket holders who are tasting each fire station’s ’cue can vote for the People’s Choice Award. SBN judges have been certified through special training events; they are in demand for judging barbecue cook-offs throughout the Southeast and even beyond. The SBN judges will be making their selection based on three criteria — appearance/aroma,

No doubt the “people” will do the same, just more informally, as they visit each team’s station to get their samples. Nancy Cataldo, director of the Sandhills Chapter, said the firefighters are excited about the new location and the cook-off itself. “They’re very competitive,” she said. “There’s more room, and we’ve added a fire apparatus display and competition. It’s a neat addition.” Concord Fire Station won both the Judges’ and the People’s Choice awards last year. Woody Newman and Eddie Newman, who are brothers, use a vinegar-based sauce handed down from Roy Welch, and they cook their hog over oak wood. Some stations

cook on gas grills, and sauces vary from station to station — there are teams whose sauces are made with mustard, red pepper, vinegar or catsup, or a combination of two or more. Sauce recipes and cooking techniques are closely guarded secrets. Firefighter Joey Dollard, who’s on the Sumter (city) Fire Station barbecue team, said they’re looking for their first win. “We cook on wood — the traditional way — and use a secret sauce that Chief (Karl) Ford and Chief Ernie Dollard come up with,” he said. “It’s more of a vinegar sauce than a catsup sauce. Chief Ford loves to cook, and his sauce is not exactly the same each year.” Dollard said his team and most of the others will start their burners

“around 8 o’clock the night before the competition. We’ll put the whole hogs on around 11 or 11:30, then cook them slow all night long.” Heat control is an important element in cooking the barbecue. Does Dollard think his team will win? “It’s like anything else,” he said. “If you’re not competing, you don’t have a chance.” Brian Christmas, also of the city station, said there will be an antique fire truck show and competition, too. About 20 teams of firefighters from Sumter, Clarendon and Lee counties, and some from Dorchester and Charleston counties are already signed up to compete in the cook-off, Christmas said. Cataldo said the recent flooding has placed a financial strain on the Red Cross, which does not receive any federal funding. “Last year, the challenge raised more than $13,000,” she said. “It’s our biggest fundraiser. With the Southern Barbeque Network judging and some of their members cooking whole hogs and ribs, we’re hoping we’ll have an even bigger crowd this year.” The Firefighters BBQ Challenge is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21. Those attending should enter the fairgrounds from Oakland Avenue. Tickets can be purchased at the gate for $10 each; children 10 and under will be admitted free. Beverages are available for purchase, and those attending can also purchase barbecue sandwiches to eat at the event or buy the barbecue by the pound to take home. In addition, Cataldo said, those purchasing tickets have a chance to win a stainless steel grill donated by Fort Roofing.

PANORAMA

DEAR ABBY — When reading letters in your column concerning breast cancer, my heart goes out to every single person who has ever been diagnosed with this terrible disease. I have no respect for any man who cuts and runs when his Dear Abby wife is diagnosed with cancer. ABIGAIL But what do you think VAN BUREN about a woman who is diagnosed and whose husband remains with her through the fear and worry, the chemo, radiation, hair loss and all the follow-up? A husband who worries constantly for her and whose biggest fear is losing his wonderful wife, and after all this — she leaves him for another man? It has been more than seven years. I’m asking for feedback in the hope that people can view this issue not just from my perspective, but also from the afflicted loved one’s perspective as well. Still Wondering DEAR STILL WONDERING — A diagnosis of a life-threatening illness can make a marriage stronger or it can destroy it. While I’m reluctant to attribute a reason for what your wife did without hearing from her, I can’t help but think that she left because the cancer made her realize how short life is and, as much as you loved her, the marriage wasn’t a fulfilling one for her. How sad for you, and I’m truly sorry. Because it’s clear you haven’t yet been able to get beyond what happened, you could benefit from discussing this with a licensed psychotherapist.

DEAR ABBY — I am considering proposing to my girlfriend, “Angela.” My problem is, I’m having doubts because I don’t know if she is “The One” -- or if such a thing really exists. I don’t want to lose her because I’m searching for some mythical goddess on a pedestal. Angela is my best friend and I’d do anything for her. I don’t want to string her along, but I’m not sure if what I’m experiencing is just cold feet. Next year I will be in medical school through the military. I think I want to move our relationship forward, but I could use some advice. Please help me make sure I don’t hurt her, either by proposing when I shouldn’t, or by leaving in search of the Holy Grail of relationships. Anonymous in America DEAR ANONYMOUS — Why are you are putting this pressure on yourself now? Because you are unsure, you should leave for medical school. Once you are there, you will be immersed in your studies and you will also meet others. If your feelings for Angela are as strong as they are now after six months, revisit the idea of proposing marriage. But don’t do it now if in your heart you’re looking for a woman with qualities Angela doesn’t possess, because it would be unfair to both of you.

YESTERYEAR FROM PAGE C1 Douglas Youngblood was elected vice-chairman. Members of the committee will be appointed later by Ward. • Louis David Hudson, who enlisted Jan. 28 through the local Navy Recruiting station in the post office building, left the Naval Training Station, Norfolk, Va., last week to join the torpedo boat destroyer Pruitt so that he might serve with his brother, Samuel Benson Hudson, a fireman first class, now attached to that vessel. • Rural Officers Newman and Geddings destroyed a whiskey still Wednesday afternoon in the Claremont section of Sumter County near Stateburg. No arrests were made. The officers destroyed this six barrel copper outfit which was complete with coil and condenser, 300 gallons of mash and a 50 gallon copper kettle.

50 YEARS AGO – 1966 Feb. 7-13 The Sumter Jaycees have challenged the Manning Jaycees to participate in a project which will benefit the March of Dimes. The challenge, accepted yesterday by Johnny Eagle, president of Manning Jaycees, was sent via a telegram signed by John R. Parker, local chapter president; Bill Tanner, co-chairman of the chapter’s MOD committee; and Mayor Robert E. Graham, first president of the Sumter Jaycees. The project calls for each of the two Jaycee presidents to make a longdistance hike, advancing one foot for each dime pledged by the public to the Dimes drive. • Julian T. Buxton, president of Williams Furniture Corp., was unanimously elected yesterday by the S.C. General Assembly to the board of the Medical College of S.C. Buxton will represent the Second Congressional District as one of six laymen elected to join six professional men and three ex-officio members on the 14-member board. • Summerton’s boys and girls both advanced to second round play of the conference III-C tournament. George Gulden tossed in 26 points, and Bill King added 23 to lead the Summerton boys to a 69-56 victory over McClellanville. Summerton’s girls upped their record to 16-1 with a 42-24 win over the Greeleyville girls. Kathy Mims led the winners with 21 points, followed by Carol Robinson, who had 13. • James S. Jordan, 34, has been named general manager of the new Woolco Department Store in Wesmark Shopping Center. Announcement of Jordan’s appointment was made by L.F. Davis, vice president of the F.W. Woolworth Co., and general manager of the Woolco Department Store Division. • Brig. Gen. George L. Mabry Jr., acting 1st Armored Division Commander, Ft. Hood, Texas, arrived in Vietnam for a temporary assignment as special assistant to Gen. William Westmoreland, commander of the U.S. Forces there. • W.H. Weldon, superintendent of schools in Manning since 1949, was honored with a dinner at the Paddock Restaurant. Members of the school board for the Manning Schools were hosts for the occasion. T. Boyd Rhame, school board member, presented Weldon a citation of outstanding achievement which recognized Weldon’s untiring efforts to improve education at the state and local levels. • Happiness is a basketball game with three seconds to go and your team ahead 63-60. This was the case last night at Orangeburg High’s gym or Sumter’s Coach Charlie Hodgin. Three seconds after Robbie Baird sank two free throws the buzzer sounded with Sumter winning a 63-60 victory over Orangeburg’s Indians.

Before setting the district’s wheels of change in motion, Peggy Cain, Jim Houston and Louis Tisdale have said they first need to orient themselves to district policies and other board members. • Sumter High School already has one victory over Richland Northeast, but Gamecock coach Tom Lewis is preparing to meet a different Cavalier team in the opening round of the 4A Division I football playoffs. “I think (the Cavaliers) have just steadily improved,” Lewis said. “They started off slowly but they’ve gotten better and better, and right now I think they’re a pretty good football team.” • Local election officials were thrilled Tuesday with how easy it was for voters to cast their ballots in the Crosswell precinct, where electronic voting machines made their Sumter debut. “I think they were absolutely wonderful,” said Colleen Yates, a former city councilwoman who served as a poll manager at the Crosswell precinct. “They were easy to use, they were quick and the people were tickled to death,” Yates said. “They really were a big hit.” • The Campbell Soup Co. confirmed that Gold Kist Inc. was willing to pay more for Campbell’s Sumter Plant than any other firm that expressed interest in the facility. A statement was released by local Campbell officials which was intended to dispel reports that Campbell Soup turned down a bid from the Nebraska-based ConAgra Corp. to accept a lower bid from Gold Kist, which is based in Atlanta. • We all know that John Wesley was the founder of Methodism. Some of us did not know that he was the 15th child of Samuel Wesley. McLeod’s Chapel was formerly known as St. Matthew’s Church. The late Mitchell

Reames, a devoted member of this church, wrote in his history of the church, “She is a daughter of St. John’s Church at Spring Hill and a granddaughter of Rembert Church near Woodrow.” The first record of St. Matthew’s Church appeared in the minutes of the 94th Session of the South Carolina Annual Conference held in Charleston, Dec. 17-22, 1879. At that time it had 32 members and had baptized three infants and six adults during the year. Its Sunday School consisted of three teachers and 15 pupils. It was part of the Spring Hill Circuit and services were held in an old school house for 12 years until the church building could be erected. • Practicality, efficiency and a lot of love make “Cheaper By the Dozen” a show for the whole family. The 16-member cast, which includes several children, has been preparing for weeks for this show about an industrial efficiency expert who learns that he has heart trouble. Frank Gilbreth, played by Jody Osborne, wants to make sure that his family will be able to survive without him, so he tries to train them to be as efficient as possible. A twist on the plot is daughter Anne, played by Sheryl Howard, who is trying to fit a social life in with the demands of her father’s planning and her education. • The 110-member Hillcrest High School marching band placed first in the East Clarendon Classic competition for the second year in a row, beating 21 other South Carolina schools. Hillcrest scored more than 96 points in the competition to take the title, topping the second highest band with 92.5 points. This is the third year for the competition at East Clarendon High School in Turbeville. • Sumter County government will survive without the Local Option Sales Tax – but

some cuts will be needed and property taxes will probably continue to go up, members of the Sumter County Council say. Sumter city officials, however, stopped short of predicting they will be forced to raise taxes. “I have my suspicions, but (city) council will do everything within their power to hold those property taxes down,” Mayor Steve Creech said Friday. • Side by side with America’s “GI Joes” in U.S. military history have been the “GI Janes,” women who are part of the country’s armed forces. Female veterans are beginning to gain recognition for their contributions to America’s military service, and some female veterans in Sumter are saying it’s an idea whose time has come. Sandy Olson was a U.S. Air Force officer for 13 years; Joyce Diehl retired as an Air Force lieutenant colonel after 20 years’ service; and Ellen Leventis was a U.S. Army nurse for six years, including duty in Vietnam. All three said they joined the service because they felt that it offered them options when choices were slim. • Gordon Crews, Criminal Justice Department head at Sumter Area Technical College, has been appointed to the Tech Advisory Committee for the Criminal Justice Academy. He will represent the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education. Crews and Brad Jones, executive assistant for the state board, were nominated by Dr. James R. Morris Jr., executive director of the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education. • It is important to teach kids about charity at a young age, Pat McElveen says, and the children in McElveen’s Day Care and Preschool had a lesson recently. Ninety-five children from the center participated in a Wonderwalk to raise money for the March of Dimes. “What we are doing is collecting money that we can give to our scientists and doctors so that they can help the babies of tomorrow,” Betty Trantham of the local March of Dimes told the children. With teachers dressed up in clown suits and a few mommies and daddies in tow, the children left the center and walked a route through the woods near the center and then came back to the playground for lemonade and cookies donated by local businesses. • Lee County Council tonight is expected to give initial approval to an ordinance approved by voters last week to put control of private landfills in the hands of county government. And an attorney for the anti-landfill group that proposed the ordinance said this morning that an Ohio-based firm can be forced to abide by the restrictions of the ordi-

nance, even though its contract with the county for a solid-waste landfill predates the ordinance. • A water pipe leading into an industrial plant apparently broke when an earthquake measuring 3.5 on the Richter Scale rumbled north of Charleston. Authorities said the broken pipe was the only apparent damage from the quake on Tuesday. The epicenter was located about 10 miles north of Charleston, according to the U.S. Geological Survey in Reston, Va. “We felt the building shake and they noticed there was a small water pipe in our yard shooting up water,” said Glenda Elrod, a purchasing agent for the Ketmar Division of Ketron Inc. She said the earthquake “is the only thing we can think of that caused it.” • A Saturday performance in a church on Park Avenue topped by a Sunday evening performance in Carnegie Hall; Furman High School’s concert choir is ready for New York’s big time. Thirteen adults and 32 of the school’s 60 choir members left by bus this morning for the Big Apple to participate in a celebration of the famed musical center’s 100th anniversary. • Sumter High School senior Aubrey Brooks has been named to compete in the North-South all-star football game scheduled in Myrtle Beach. Brooks, a 6-1, 215pound linebacker, will compete on the South Squad. Brooks has 36 tackles and 23 assists and has recovered a pair of fumbles for the 9-3 Gamecocks, despite missing three games early in the year due to a shoulder injury. • The results weren’t what Morris College men’s head basketball coach Clarence Houck had hoped to see on the scoreboard hanging above the Sumter County Exhibition Center floor. It read an 84-62 victory for the visitors, Claflin College. Houck wasn’t pleased to have lost the game, but he wasn’t shedding bitter tears over it either. Despite the loss Houck is confident about the ability of his 1990-91 Hornets. • When Stephon Blanding began his football “experiment” this past spring, he had no idea it would turn out as well as it has. Blanding, a Sumter native, is presently a starting defensive end for Wofford College’s football team. He is sixth on the squad in total tackles with 39 and his six sacks rank as the secondbest mark on the team. He has played in all 11 games and started the past two. Last week, against Division I0AA The Citadel, Blanding had his best overall game. He recorded 13 tackles, one sack and one fumble recovery.

number of business ventures including Sumter’s second and most expansive shopping plaza to date. Reflections presents a two-part report on how Sumter’s business district expanded at lightning speed and provides a brief glimpse of some of the business enterprises that came to Sumter and how they changed the shopping climate of our city. The information and photos used in preparing this article were taken from The Item archives. The ensuing article was published in The Sumter Daily Item on Aug. 31, 1965. This and other articles are being reprinted with a minimum of editing. The headline read “Building Starts Next Week on Vast Shopping Center,” as construction began on a 50-acre shopping center located off Broad Street. “The principal building in the shopping center will be a 62,000-square-foot Woolco Department Store, which will make it the largest in the Sumter area. G.B. Nalley, developer of the shopping center, which was first announced in March of 1965, disclosed construction plans after an appearance before City Council to request an extension of city water to his development.

Clearing operations on the site will be handled by Plowden Construction Co. of Sumter. The shopping center will be bounded by Broad Street on the south, the Camden Highway on the west, Highway 378-76 bypass on the north and Acres Corp. on the east. “Development of the shopping center is estimated to cost approximately $2 million. Construction will be handled by Easley Lumber Co. of Easley, owned by Nalley. N.S. “Nate” Newton, an associate of Nalley’s, said construction on most of the shopping center, including the Woolco store, is expected to be completed by February 1966, with a total area in the center of 200,000 square feet.” The Woolco Store is reportedly the first in South Carolina. It was expected to employ 150 persons. Full lines of merchandise were carried in the huge store. It was a division of F.W. Woolworth Co.

NEW YORK CITY TRIP Escorted by art teachers Ashley Lareau and Mary Ann Reames, students in the high school art classes visited New York City for the annual art appreciation trip Nov. 7-10. To learn more about art history, the group visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum and toured the Art Students’ League. The trip also provided the opportunity for the students to experience the culture of New York City as they visited the SoHo and Chinatown areas, went to one of two Broadway musicals, either “The Lion King” or “Wicked,” and went to a Broadway play, “The 39 Steps.” The students also visited Central Park, Madison Avenue, Times Square and Union Square.

STUDENTS WRITE LETTERS Alice Drive Middle School students in Debra Christoff’s seventh-grade English language arts and informational text classes are celebrating Veterans’ Day in a special way by sending letters to active-duty military personnel. Christoff is a veteran herself, and she always does something special for Veterans’ Day. The husband of one of her colleagues is in the U.S. Air Force and is currently deployed. She had an idea to write letters to him, shared it with her principal, Jeannie Pressley, and it snowballed into a letter writing project. The students have recently received Chromebooks as part of Sumter School District’s One to Global technology initiative and are using the electronic devices to write the letters. Members of her colleague’s husband’s unit will receive multiple letters from the seventh-graders. In addition, some of the students who have deployed relatives have opted to send their letters to them. Besides an exercise in working with the Chromebooks, Christoff is teaching many of the seventh-grade English language arts standards such as writing, revising, editing and proofreading. After the students write their initial letter, she is working with them to edit and revise.

PRINCIPAL FOR THE DAY SCHEDULED The fifth-annual Principal for the Day program is scheduled for Tuesday. Each principal in the school district has invited someone to serve as his or her “principal for the day,” and the person will walk a mile in the shoes of the principal for the first half of the day. The participants, their principals, board members and district office personnel will then meet at the Lakewood High Fine Arts Center for lunch and a review of the day. — Mary B. Sheridan

The students are divided into three teams for daytime and evening competitions — Army Rangers, Navy Seals and Marine Recon — led by enthusiastic college-age team leaders. Throughout the day, team members and students went out into the Sumter community to invite others to the evening competitions and services. During the school day, the students in grades 6-12 had six of their normal eight classes along with a chapel service and team competition or devotional time. Daily competitions included trashketball, splashball trivia, threeway big ball basketball and dodgeball. Wednesday through Friday evenings, the school property was open to all who wished to attend the activities from 6:15 to 8:45 p.m. Team competitions included big ball volleyball; a very muddy game of tube tug; threeway full court big ball basketball; “America’s roughest (and slipperiest) footrace” Spoketackle; tug-of-war; cheering contests; and big ball bowling. After the competitions each night, the students enjoyed refreshments and a comedy skit followed by dynamic messages from Dr. van Gelderen. SCS students thoroughly enjoyed The War while actively participating in team competitions and making lifechanging decisions through the preaching of God’s Word. — Miriam Marritt

arts class. The program for K-2 will occur at 8:30 a.m., and the 3-5 program will occur at 9:30 a.m. in the Lower Lee Elementary cafeteria. Fifth-graders at Lower Lee Elementary are trying their hands at long division with two-digit dividers. Many are grasping the concept fairly easily. In addition to enhancing division skills, the fifth-graders in Andrew Little’s class have also begun a new unit in science, “Changes in Land and Ocean Forms.” To introduce the unit, students are able to apply recently acquired knowledge obtained from the hurricane a couple of weeks ago to make a real-world connection. Fifth-graders in Debra Davis-Cooper’s class have been working diligently on their “Tattooed Mummy” narratives. The stories are phenomenal. The students were encouraged to be creative in the describing the life of the woman who was mummified in Peru. Check out the stories in Room 103. Students have also been reading “Bridge to Terabithia” by Katherine Patterson. The students will complete culminating activities next week to wrap up the reading. One of them will include a book report. The students will get to choose which type of book report they want to create.

WEST LEE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL At West Lee Elementary, kindergarten students are learning about the first Thanksgiving. Students are cutting pictures of food out of magazines and gluing them on a paper plate to make a feast. They will also pretend to go on a journey, meet Native Americans and have a feast with them. In writing, kindergarteners are working on staying on topic. Teachers are preparing them for testing in the upper grades. Music, moving and mind stimulation is what you will observe when you enter Coach Damian Days’ physical education classes at Lower Lee and West Lee elementary schools. Days started the school year with lesson plans that integrate academic content as well as music and dance into his curriculum. Days’ goal is to get his students moving, active and motivated about their education. An essential part of his lesson plan preparation includes partnering with core classroom teachers to find out what the students are learning so that he can effectively incorporate the students’ core academic lessons into his physical education lessons. Days uses music and dance in his physical education lessons for several reasons: dance comes in lots of styles and genres, music motivates movement, music is a great timer, music enhances performance, and dance is a lifetime sport. Days wants all of his students to be healthy and educated.

PANORAMA

THE SUMTER ITEM

Kaye Ballard: ‘The 1st 90 Years are the Hardest’ BY NICK THOMAS Tinseltown Talks

ollowing the success of her 2006 memoir “How I Lost 10 Pounds in 53 Years,” Kaye Ballard is currently working on a second autobiographical volume tentatively titled “The First 90 Years Are the Hardest.” “It will be more in depth about the people I’ve worked with in show business,” said Ballard, who turns 90 on Nov. 20. “It should be out next year.” With a background dating back to vaudeville and radio, and extending to theater, nightclubs, film and television, Ballard has done it all (see www.kayeballard.com). But this year, she officially retired from performing after her sold-out “Going out Of Business” farewell show in March in Palm Springs. “I may still do the occasional benefit show, but that was my last professional performance. I held it at a movie theater, where I first developed a love for entertaining, so that seemed appropriate.” In “The Girl Most Likely,” her first film in 1958 filled with music and dance numbers, Ballard was inspired by the cast and crew. “Choreographer Gower Champion would show Jane Powell a routine and she could do it immediately,” she recalled. “Seeing other actors learn so quickly was great

training for me.” During her second film six years later, Ballard worked with Shelley Winters, with whom she became close friends. “Later, when she got a role in ‘The Poseidon Adventure,’ Shelley used my pool to practice swimming underwater because the studio wouldn’t let her rehearse until they started shooting. She was a great swimmer but ruined all my flashlights by swimming with them.” Another longtime friendship developed between Ballard and Eve Arden when the pair starred in “The MothersIn-Law” in the late ‘60s. “Eve was a joy to work with and we never had an unpleasant moment,” Ballard recalled. “She could read a script once and know it almost completely.” Despite the show’s high ratings, a contractual dispute led to its cancellation after just two seasons. “Roger C. Carmel played my husband and was the joy of my professional life, but male ego got in the way,” she said. “Our contracts stated we would all get an extra $250 per episode for the second season, but when we didn’t, Roger bumped heads with Desi Arnaz, who was the executive producer and director. The rest of us gave in, but Roger refused to on principle and was replaced with Richard Deacon for the second season.

Kaye Ballard and the late Eve Arden are show in a promotion photo for their late 1960s TV comedy series “The Mothers-in-Law.” Ballard is currently working on her second book, which she has tentatively titled “The First 90 Years are the Hardest.” After working on ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show,’ Richard acted as though ‘The MothersIn-Law’ was beneath him.” Ballard remained friends with Arnaz and his wife, Lucille Ball, and still lives in the Rancho Mirage home near Palm Springs once owned by the couple. Ballard purchased it in 1970, a decade after the celebrity couple divorced.

“Lucy would come over often and talk about Desi, who I don’t think she ever got over,” Ballard said. “She was a tough, strong woman and not like her TV character at all.” Ballard never married, but says she has no regrets. “I was engaged four times, but couldn’t give my all to a marriage or wanted children

unless I could give them my complete attention,” she said. “But I’ve got to meet so many great people because of my career. Who could regret that?” Nick Thomas teaches at Auburn University at Montgomery, Alabama, and has written features, columns, and interviews for more than 600 magazines and newspapers.

tended its Act of Kindness and support to numerous projects throughout the Sumter community. Some of its past and current projects include: BrainMinders Safety Puppet presentations to local schools; Quality Assurance Inspections of homes and facilities for Sumter County Special Needs and Disabilities Board; medicine dispensers to home health and mental health agencies; Camp Burnt Gin Library and monetary donations of $680; Wii-media systems to four nursing homes; scholarships to Central Carolina; and The Iris Market at Swan Lake Gardens Fund Raiser. In October, the Club completed its largest grant thus far. The Disabilities and Special Needs and Board grant was spearheaded by Anita

Kieslich, who submitted a matching Pilot (PIFF) grant for $3,000. After painting the all-purpose room, autistic room and living room for an intermediate facility, the club purchased equipment, game table, television and various furnishings to revitalize the environment and make the rooms eye-appealing and pleasant for more than100 participants. However, the grant did not provide just the manipulatives, furnishings and painting, the Pilot members have also volunteered to offer four eye-hand activity classes and BrainMinders Safety Puppet presentations to the participants. The Evening Pilot Club continues to contribute in humanitarian projects for Sumter as it lives up to its motto “Do More. Care More and Be More.”

While markets tumbled in summer, many savers held tight BY STAN CHOE AP Business Writer NEW YORK — When fear was pumping through the stock market this summer, most retirement savers kept their cool. So said figures from Fidelity, which could see how individual investors in general behaved by looking at its 13.5 million 401(k) and 6 million IRA accounts as stocks tumbled in New York, Shanghai and places in between during the turbulent third quarter. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index sank more than 10 percent within a week during August, driving the index to its worst quarter in four years.

Even amid the tumult, only 4.9 percent of Fidelity’s 401(k) account holders made changes to how their nest eggs were invested, such as selling stocks to move into bonds or cash. Workers also diverted more of their paychecks into their 401(k) accounts than they did a year earlier, not less: an average of 8.2 percent of their pay last quarter, up from 8 percent. “People are starting to get the message,” said Jeanne Thompson, vice president at Fidelity Investments. “During volatility, many times the best course of action is none at all.” That’s because 401(k) accounts and IRAs are for longterm savings, even for inves-

tors approaching retirement. And the power of compound interest works best when investments are given time. For investors who have had a 401(k) account at Fidelity for the last 10 years, just about half the growth in their balance has come from investment gains. The other half came from contributions from savers and their employers. Trying to time the market can hurt over the long term — and in the short term. Fear among investors hit a high on Aug. 24, when the S&P 500 was in the midst of its fifth straight loss. Fidelity received more than 160,000 calls from its IRA and 401(k) investors that day, close to a record,

looking for help on how to manage their investments. Anyone who sold out of their stocks that day has missed out on the subsequent 10 percent rise in the S&P 500 in just more than two months. It wasn’t just bravery that pushed so many investors to leave their accounts alone last quarter. So-called target-date mutual funds likely played a big role too. These funds take care of how to divvy up a nest egg. They are invested mostly in stocks when the target retirement date is far away, and they move more into bonds as the date approaches. They’ve also become the default investment for many 401(k) plans since the govern-

ment implemented new rules in 2006. Among the definedcontribution plans administered by Vanguard, 88 percent offered target-date funds last year, up from 75 percent five years earlier. That means many investors may not even know how much stock they own, just that they have a target-date retirement fund. It’s also one reason why even during the panic-strewn days of the Great Recession, the vast majority of 401(k) account holders held off on changing their investment mix. “It’s the perfect result of working with inertia,” Thompson said, “rather than against it.”

Brian Douglas is seen at the Cream City Music store Wednesday in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Cream City Music sells more than 1,800 items from guitar picks to vintage instruments on Reverb.com, a musical equipment marketplace. The retailer began selling on Reverb.com two years ago.

Tech helps more small businesses make sales

more information the system gathers, and the more likely O’Neill and Metal Mulisha are to make a sale, says Daniel Neukomm, CEO of the retailers’ parent, Irvine, California-based La Jolla Group. The software is more advanced than programs on other sites that make suggestions based on a shopper’s order history, Neukomm says. If a shopper is looking at garments designed as active wear rather than fashion, the software will take that into account. If someone from Wisconsin visits the site, the software is likely to suggest hoodies rather than surfing shorts. The number of visits to O’Neill and Metal Mulisha that result in sales has increased 25 percent because of the software. The more time a shopper spends on the sites, the more likely the program is to select an item a customer will buy, Neukomm says. “Like a good wine, it gets better with age,” he says.

BY JOYCE M. ROSENBERG AP Business Writer NEW YORK — An independent retailer may not look like the cutting edge of technology, but these small businesses increasingly turn to apps and sophisticated software to connect with customers. Small retailers use high-tech innovations to build relationships with customers; they often can’t compete with big chains on prices, so they aim at better, individualized service. Some of the technology is designed for smaller companies, while some retailers find ways to turn a widely used computer program or app to their advantage. They’re also able to implement technology faster than many giant retailers because they’re not operating hundreds or thousands of stores. “Using technology enables the small business to cater to a customer’s needs,” says Michael Moeser, a retailing executive with Javelin Strategy & Research, a consulting company based in Pleasanton, California. One example: an app called Belly that lets shoppers accumulate rewards points at thousands of small businesses. It helps create an emotional connection between the store and shopper, Moeser says. Another app called Dolly helps a retailer arrange for merchandise to be picked up from a store and quickly delivered to a customer, saving the

GO WHERE THE CUSTOMERS ARE Some small retailers sell on online marketplaces that specialize in one type of merchandise. The sites are similar to Etsy, the marketplace that focuses on goods such as jewelry and clothes made by artisans. Cream City Music sells more than 1,800 items from guitar picks to vintage instruments on Reverb.com, a musical equipment marketplace. The retailer began selling on Reverb.com two years ago. “People on that website are specifically looking for (musical) products,” says owner Brian Douglas, whose company is based in Brookfield, Wisconsin.

Cream City Music has a brick-andmortar store and a website but wants to take advantage of any sales opportunity it can. It’s getting results, Douglas says. Sales from Reverb.com are growing by double-digit percentages each month.

AN ONLINE PERSONAL SHOPPER Soon after online shoppers land on the websites for O’Neill Clothing and Metal Mulisha, the retailers’ software starts suggesting products to buy. The recommendations aren’t random; the software, a computer program called Reflektion, finds out where the shopper is located, and a few clicks on surf or motorbike clothes tells the system enough to start suggesting more merchandise. The more a customer clicks, the

Tara Mikolay and her sales staff send hundreds of individual texts to her jewelry store’s customers each week. About half lead to a purchase. Mikolay, owner of Desires by Mikolay in Chappaqua, New York, tailors each text to a particular customer, sending reminders to husbands about their wives’ upcoming birthdays and including photos with suggestions about what they might buy. She texts women customers with photos of new merchandise that fit their style. While individual texts are labor intensive, they’re more effective than mass texting would be, Mikolay says. Even when a customer doesn’t immediately make a purchase, he or she is likely to buy when the next big occasion such as an anniversary comes around. “I could place a full-page ad in a newspaper, but my chances for making a sale are next to none,” she says. “But I spend time manually doing texting and get great results. It’s a nobrainer.”

THE SUMTER ITEM

Call the newsroom at: (803) 774-1225 | E-mail: trevor@theitem.com

A perfect day of fall fishing comes together

he weatherman promised us that it would be bright and sunny on Tuesday with an almost zero percent chance of rain; but when I pulled out of my driveway at 5:30 a.m. it was misting, overcast and dreary. My son Robert has always said he’d like to be a weather man; they can be wrong 50 percent of the time and still keep their jobs; it looked like he was right about them being wrong again. I filled the boat tank with gas, stopped in to buy A.D. and myself a biscuit and coffee and headed to A.D.’s house to pick him up. I was shocked! It is A.D.’s practice to start getting things together about the time that I am supposed to be there to pick him up. Not this time. When I pulled in, the rods were already waiting and every light in the house was on. Cherry Grove is a little over two hours away, and we figured we’d get there about three hours before the tide bottomed out, fish the last of the outgoing tide and the first

couple of hours of the incoming tide and head back to Sumter. I had been trying to get to the coast to try Earle the fall flounWoodward der fishing for years and AFIELD & I was finally AFLOAT on my way. It pretty much poured rain on us all the way to the beach — it wasn’t looking good. The bait store had plenty of mud minnows and a bag of ice, and by the time we got to the landing, the rain had stopped and you could actually see some blue sky on the western horizon. Could it really be clearing up? It was amazing, but by the time we got the boat ready and launched the sun was shining! While A.D. worked to tie flounder rigs onto his rods and reels, I hooked a mud minnow and dropped it over

the side as we drifted with the tide. I slid a Gulp shrimp on a jig head, flipped it into the current and settled back in my chair for the long float to the ocean. BAM! The rod with the mud minnow took a hard hit; I grabbed it and set the hook. A.D., who was still working on his rigs, didn’t even know I had a fish on until I slipped the net under one of the biggest sea robins I’ve ever caught. A sea robin is one ugly fish. They are bottom feeders with pectoral fins that are more like wings; these were the size of saucers. They also have adapted little fingers on the front of the fins that they use find of like little feet. On top of their heads are a few razor sharp spines that can inflict some real pain. The one I had just landed was maybe two pounds of fish and 20 pounds of ugly. I threw him back and started over. It didn’t take long and the Gulp got slammed. Just from the way the fish was fighting, I knew we didn’t have a floun-

der. It turned out to be a nice speckled trout of about 13 inches, one inch short of the legal limit of fourteen inches. It was A.D.’s turn to catch a fish, which he did — a black sea bass that was also a bit short of the size limit. So far, the fishing was pretty good, but the size wasn’t up to snuff, I finally hooked a flounder on a mud minnow and slipped the net under him, knowing full well that he too was short by about an inch. He was released. Another black sea bass and another speckled trout, both too short, and then the miracle. I hooked and landed a flounder that went a whopping fifteen inches, one inch over the size limit. It was still early in the day, so I slipped him in the cooler. By noon the tide had come to a halt and was very slowly beginning to flow back into the creek. A.D caught another short flounder as the tide started to move. All in all, we wound up catching five flounder, three

sea bass, two speckled trout and the last fish of the day finished us off the way we started — A.D. caught another sea robin; so, a total of twelve fish. Considering that we had never fished the fall for flounder, I don’t think we did too poorly; but more importantly, we had a fantastic day. It just so happens that this time, the weatherman was right, it turned out to be bright and sunny, and by the time we left, without a cloud in the sky. In fact, I got a little sunburn on my cheeks. The temperature topped out at 68 degrees — perfection. A.D. and I haven’t been able to get together as much as we used to; we both seem to be busy all the time, but we made a decision while fishing. When the day comes when we are both retired, we’re going to allocate one day per week as our “go day” and we’re going to go somewhere and do something. That will be great, especially when the weatherman comes through like he did last Tuesday.

Trust adds protected lands in Sumter, Clarendon counties BY RICK CARPENTER rick@theitem.com The Congaree Land Trust announced the addition of 1,654 acres to its roster of protected lands on Thursday, including parcels in Sumter and Clarendon counties. The trust recently placed two large properties, Dinkins Mill and Deer & Duck, LLC properties under conservation easement. Both properties have unique characteristics that make them valuable additions to CLT’s portfolio of conserved properties. Founded in 1992, CLT works to establish conservation easements for landowners in a 12-county area of central South Carolina including Clarendon, Kershaw, Lee and Sumter counties, according to a news release announcing the areas. The Dinkins Mill property comprises 654 acres located in the Cowasee Basin near the northern end of the “High Hills of the Santee” in Sumter County. Owned by the William and R.B. Dinkins’ families, the property features a historic millpond at its center dating back more than 200 years. Rich in history, the property dates back to a king’s grant to William

Wright in 1732, the release stated. Wright’s daughter married William Dinkins and the property has been in the same family ever since. Due to its large size, habitat variety and diverse wetlands, the property supports outstanding fish and wildlife populations. The historic millpond provides habitat for a variety of water birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish. The Deer and Duck property, located in Clarendon County consists of approximately 1,000 acres and represents an important addition to the Santee “Waterfowl Corridor,” which is a series of connected private tracts managed for waterfowl and other wetland birds. It is located near the 13,000acre Santee National Wildlife Refuge which helps to create contiguous wildlife corridors for a wide variety of wading birds, water birds, raptors, migratory songbirds and other wildlife in the area, according to the release. The wetlands on the property feed into the Santee/Cooper River Watersheds. By leaving the lands undeveloped, it will help to protect the water quality of Lake Marion which is a major recreational fishery as well as a source of drinking water, the organization said in the release.

Dinkins Mill pond in Sumter County is one of two tracts added to Congaree Land Trust’s roster of protected lands under a conservation easement. Funding for both projects was made possible through the South Carolina Conservation Bank which was founded to provide an incentive to voluntary landowners to preserve and protect significant lands in South Carolina by purchasing interests in real property. “The Congaree Land Trust is grateful to partner with the owners of both Dinkins Mill and Deer & Duck, LLC as well as the South Carolina Conserva-

tion Bank to protect these special properties,” said Stuart White, executive director of the Congaree Land Trust. “The individual attributes of each property make them very desirable additions to our land trust, as they contain both historic sites and precious wildlife habitat. By protecting these properties, it supports our mission of protecting the unique natural heritage of central South Carolina.”

FISHING REPORTS Santee Cooper System Striped bass: Good. Linwood Thornhill reports that anglers are having great success catching fish, and were it not for the low keeper ratio this would be a “very good” bite. Particularly on Lake Moultrie striped bass are schooling from 3 p.m. until dark and anglers are following the birds to locate them and then casting bucktails and spoons. The hatchery area has been good. Fish are generally over 25-50 feet of water and some anglers are drift-fishing live bait to catch them. Crappie: Fair to good. Captain Steve English reports that before the flooding he was catching 50-70 crappie per trip in the upper lake, but the influx of freshwater has turned the bite off so much that he is having difficulty even getting a bite up there. Lake Wateree Catfish: Good. Captain Rodger Taylor reports that at this time of year he likes to start out anchoring early - wind permitting - by fan-casting multiple baits near the river channel drop from about 10-12 feet on out to 20-25 feet of water. He finds this is a good way to pick up a good fish, particularly mid-lake around June Creek. One the sun comes up and some wind develops he will usually switch to drifting the lower 2/3 of the lake from Dutchmans all the way to Colonel Creek. There are plenty of fish in this range and on recent trips he has found the 20-30 foot range to most productive. Right now the good fish seem to be a little bit deeper. As on Wylie the fish will be scattered out, and his boat may drift 75 or 100 yards without a bite then get a double. White perch will work but gizzard shad are hard to beat for the next several months. Lake Greenwood Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson

(864-992-2352) reports that now that the lake is calming down after the flood the bite is improving. Drifting with herring and gizzard shad is working pretty well, with most fish in the 10-25 foot range. Main lake points and humps are the best areas to target right now, and it’s worth checking feeder creeks. Some days the fish will be traveling in and out of those and at those times they are feeding and readily caught. Lake Monticello Bass: Good. Tournament angler Andy Wicker reports that this is an exciting time for bass fishing on Lake Monticello. Much of the year, Lake Monticello bass fishing revolves around a deep bite, but for the next month or so Andy says this is a strong period for shallow water fishing on the lake. Early in the morning he likes to throw a Zara Spook off points, and he reports that most days this bite lasts for a couple of hours - although on cloudy days it can last all day. That is not to say that fish cannot be caught deep, and after the early morning fishing deep is still the primary pattern on Lake Monticello. Andy says that fish can also be caught deep first thing, although his preference is to pursue the shallower fish early. 30-40 feet of water is a good depth range, and the primary pattern is to fish off long tapering points. There will also be some fish found around humps. Both Alabama rigs and jigging spoons are good lures, although particularly on the spoon anglers need to be prepared to weed through large numbers of white perch - which Lake Monticello is full of. Lake Murray White perch: Very good. Lake World reports that the most dependable bite continues to be the white perch bite, and anglers are catching fish in the very broad range of 5-60 feet of water. The

prime depth range has been 20-30 feet, however, with fish schooled up near the bottom in those depths. Jigging spoons fished vertically are tough to beat once you locate the fish. Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that the most productive pattern is still to anchor on humps and points and fan-cast stinkbaits, shrimp and herring for channel catfish. Space your baits on ledges that range from 5-30 feet. Once the lake clears some and water temperatures begin to drop the baitfish should move deeper, which should cause the catfish to move deeper as well and improve the drift bite. Lake Russell Striper: Fair to good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that this is a transitional period for striper, and not a lot of people are targeting them right now. Fish have been on the lower end, where some should still be, but they are making their way towards the mid-lake where they will be very soon. The key to fishing for striper right now is to pull planer boards and free-lined herring in the creeks, as opposed to the main channel, and cover a lot of water. Catfish: Fair. Guide Jerry Kotal reports that he has not done a ton of catfishing recently. However, the fish that he has caught have been in 20-25 feet of water on the edge of the creek channel. A variety of fresh cut baits will work. Lake Thurmond Crappie: Fair to good. Captain William Sasser reports that with the water cooling a bit the crappie bite is improving. Not a lot of fish are being caught yet, but some good sized crappie are biting. The best bet is fishing in the backs of tributaries abound 15 feet down with minnows over tree tops/ brush in about 25 feet of water.

Lake Wylie Catfish: Good. It’s a great time to catch numbers of catfish as well as quality fish on Lake Wylie. Captain Rodger Taylor reports that over 6 or 7 recent trips his boat has been hammering the fish, and they have been catching 20-35 pound cats regularly. He rates the bite at “very good.” Drifting has been most effective because fish are fairly scattered but grouped up in little pods, and when anglers come across them there is often more than one fish caught. Both the creeks and the main channel have been producing, with the fish holding in 25-40 feet of water on deep water ledges. In the creeks Rodger’s boat is catching about a 50/50 mix of blues and channels, with a lot of above average 4-6 pound channels and some fish pushing 7 pounds. In the main channel the percentage is more like 80/20 or even 90/10 blues to channels, and that number will only go up as temperatures drop. Lake Hartwell Catfish: Good. Guide Bill Plumley reports that the channel catfish bite continues to be strong, and the fish remain in the 15-40 foot range. They continue to feed well. Anglers can either drift or anchor, and dip bait (anchor fishing), night crawlers and cut herring are all working. At night flathead catfish can be caught on live perch and bream, but the bigger blue catfish are out in the deep timber and very difficult to target. A few small blues continue to show up while fishing for channels. Crappie: Fair. Guide Bill Plumley reports that a few crappie continue to be caught over brush in the 25 foot range, but angling activity is still light. If anglers can find the right brush water temperatures are getting right where anglers should be able to load the boat using either jigs or minnows.

Lake Keowee Bass: Good. Guide Brad Fowler of Pendleton reports that fish are feeding heavily and there is significant schooling activity going on all over the lake, both over shallow water and over deep water. Anglers can certainly throw topwater lures to catch fish feeding on top, but they may have better luck fishing baits that run just under the surface. Jerkbaits and flukes are both good choices. In addition to schooling fish, right now the deeper bite is getting much better. Fish are starting to group up well and move into some of their cooler weather haunts, and drop-shotting around structure in 20-60 feet of water is working well. Shakey head worms, Carolina rigs and jigging spoons will also catch fish. Lake Jocassee Trout: Guide Sam Jones reports that Lake Jocassee trout are still surprisingly deep for this late in the year, and on recent trips he has been catching fish in 100+ (110, 115) feet of water. Main lake surface water temperatures are still in the 71 degree range and Jocassee trout fishermen are looking for 65, so they are having to fish very deep. Fish should start to come up anytime now but the temperatures will have to drop - a couple of weeks ago they caught some as shallow as 85 feet, but everything since has been deeper. Right now Sam is concentrating his efforts on the dam and rock quarry areas out in the big water, and he is having the most success trolling large minnows on downriggers. Every now and then they will pick up a fish on a spoon, but right now the catch ratio is about 4:1 in favor of minnows over spoons. In addition to some nice rainbow trout they are also picking up some spotted and even smallmouth bass in the super deep water.
