‘Name calling’ leads to shooting death

BY JADE ANDERSON janderson@theitem.com A 36-year-old Sumter man is dead, and a 22-yearold is in custody after a “name calling” incident that led to gunfire late Wednesday evening.

Quentin Lavern Green, 36, died of a single gunshot

wound to the chest, said Sumter County Coroner Harvin Bullock. Green was pronounced dead at the JORDAN scene, and Bullock said the gunshot wound caused Green to bleed to death.

Camara Atiba Jordan of 138 Carolina Ave., Sumter, has been charged with murder by the Sumter Police Department. According to police, the suspect fled the scene before law enforcement arrived, but investigators picked him up several blocks away shortly after the incident. Jordan had also

been shot, in his foot, and was treated at Tuomey Regional Medical Center before being taken to SumterLee Regional Detention Center.

Law enforcement received a call about 10 p.m. about possible shots fired in the 400 block of Loring Drive. Police said their offi-

cers found Green dead in his home.

Witnesses indicated Green and the suspect got into a verbal altercation which turned physical in the yard. The suspect then pursued Green inside the home, where he shot Green, SEE SHOOTING, PAGE A10

Driver safe after city garbage truck cab catches fire

Sumter firefighters spray a fire that broke out in a garbage truck on Florence Highway on Thursday. Fire Battalion Chief David White estimated the truck as a $100,000 loss.

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com In rural areas of Sumter County, residents will occasionally see smoke from neighbors burning trash. But on Thursday, the flames were spreading inside a garbage truck.

Just before noon, a Sumter city garbage truck was carrying a load to the county landfill on Florence Highway when the cab burst into flames. A fire engine responded to the scene and battled the blaze while both lanes of traffic were closed around the burning vehicle.

“It was going to the dump when the driver noticed he was starting to lose the brakes and lose power,” said Fire

‘In a situation like this, we’re just glad nobody got hurt. ... We’ll be back at work tomorrow, using some new equipment.’

Man reportedly bites woman’s neck

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com Just before Halloween, police were alerted to a potential vampire in Sumter.

A woman reported to law enforcement that her ex-boyfriend attacked her by biting her on the neck.

About 9 p.m. Monday, the 26-year-old woman was at a

video store on Liberty Street when the 29-year-old man got into the passenger’s seat of her car and asked for a ride home.

The woman drove to the 100 block of Carolina Avenue when her passenger reportedly told her to stop the car.

She came to a halt in the middle of the road, and the man reportedly pinned her to the seat and sank his teeth

into the right side of her neck and shoulder.

The police report notes that the attacker did not break through his victim’s skin.

Apparently not satisfied with biting the woman, the man also reportedly put his hands around her neck and choked her while shouting obscenities. The attack reportedly stopped when a

AWENDAW — Lawmakers, businesspeople, conservationists and others gathered Thursday as additional projects in a five-year effort to restore 200,000 acres of forestland in the Southeast were announced.

Earlier this year, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and International Paper announced formation of the Forestland Stewards Initiative funded with a $7.5 million grant from the paper company. The initiative is granting money to restore and maintain forestlands in eight southeastern states from the Carolinas to Texas.

Mamie Smith stopped by The Item office Thursday to show off her Halloween costume. She was dressed as a lottery loser but said she was glad her purchases help support education.

COLUMBIA — A Pennsylvania business executive and his wife have created a $10 million endowment to support and retain promising young teachers at the University of South Carolina.

Airgas Inc. founder Peter McCausland and his wife, Bonnie, announced their gift Thursday in Columbia.

The businessman is a 1971 South Carolina graduate with a history degree. The couple, who live outside Philadelphia, said they want the gift to go to the university’s College of Arts and Sciences.

McCausland founded Airgas in 1982, which is one of the nation’s leading suppliers of industrial, medical and specialty gases, welding equipment and safety supplies. He was its chief executive officer from 1987 to 2012 and now serves as the executive chairman of the board for the firm.

The endowment will be used to retain successful teachers, launch a visiting scholars program and encourage imaginative teaching and research projects, officials said.

In a statement, McCausland said he was grateful to the university and teachers in the college who inspired him.

“I felt that I was safe to be myself and to try new things. More than anything else, I remember the professors in the College of Arts and Sciences. They were such good teachers, so inspiring and so passionate about their work,” McCausland said.

McCausland also earned a law degree from Boston University.

His wife is a graduate of Tufts University in Massachusetts.

Health care promise: A big one that got away WASHINGTON (AP) — President Obama’s soothing promise that Americans happy with their health insurance could simply keep it was doomed from the start, and everyone familiar with the market seemed to recognize that except the president. Even his aides said four years ago, early in the huge push for his health care law, that he wasn’t to be taken literally on that point.

But he kept making the promise, literally and forcefully, through the long debate about the overhaul, after it became law and directly to voters in the campaign for the 2012 election. The words sometimes varied, but the message didn’t: Not only was a better day coming for people with no insurance or bad insurance — but everyone else could just relax.

Now his assurance is proving empty for people who are getting cancellation notices in the individual or small-business insurance marketplace and for workers who are beginning to see jarring changes in their employer-provided

plans. Although they are a minority of the insured, they are adding up to millions of people.

Obama said Wednesday that those who are seeing individual policies canceled should “just shop around� and get another one.

That’s a striking departure from his vow stretching back to 2009: “No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people. If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.�

And from the final months of the 2012 campaign: “If you’re one of the more than 250 million Americans who already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance. This law will only make it more secure and more affordable.�

It was never convincing, though, to claim that an overhaul of this magnitude could be dropped like a rock into

a pond without waves washing over the system — happy campers among them.

Health policy experts, including some who favored the law, said then that Obama had no standing to make such a promise, as did factcheckers.

The promise stretched credulity a number of ways: • It’s practically baked into the law that some

policies are going to disappear. Insurance must meet certain standards, and coverage that falls short cannot be sold except through a grandfathering process that insurance administrators say is untenable. So healthy young people or others who were happy enough with bare-bones coverage may be losing access to those plans and face requirements under the law to replace

them. “Nobody is forcing you to shift,â€? Obama previously said. Shift they must. • The law does not stop employers from changing plans or carriers, or from dropping coverage altogether.

Larger companies will face a fine for terminating insurance, but in some cases that could be cheaper for them than continuing their coverage. The nonpartisan

Congressional Budget Office estimated that the number of workers getting employer-based coverage could drop by several million as companies pull back and steer workers to the new individual insurance options instead. • Cost-control measures in the law are certain to drive changes for people with generous workplace plans. It’s happening already.

N.Y. bus driver saves woman from jumping to death from bridge BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A bus driver is being hailed as a hero for preventing a woman from jumping off a Buffalo highway overpass.

About 20 McKinley High School students had just stepped aboard Darnell Barton’s Metro bus Oct. 18 when he spotted a woman who had climbed over a guardrail and stood leaning over the afternoon traffic zipping along the Scajaquada Expressway below.

With cars and an occasional pedestrian continuing to pass by her, Barton wasn’t sure at first that the woman was in distress.

He stopped his bus, opened the door and asked if she needed help, at that moment conflicted between the rules of his job, which required him to call his dispatcher, and his training as a former volunteer firefighter and member of the Buffalo Special Police, which told him that if he made contact, he shouldn’t break it. “It was an interesting situation, knowing what you know and knowing what you have

to do,� he said Wednesday. “Dispatch picked up. I remember giving my location and saying, ‘Send the authorities, this young lady needs help’ and then dashing the phone down.�

The bus video system captures Barton, 37, leaving the bus and the 20-something woman looking back at him.

Her gaze then returns to the traffic below. “That’s when I went and put my arms around her,� said Barton, a father of two. “I felt like if she looked down at that traffic one more time it might be it.�

With the woman in a bear hug, Barton asked if she wanted to come back over the rail.

She hadn’t spoken up to that point but said yes.

The video shows Barton tenderly helping her climb back over the guardrail and sit down. Then he sits next to her on the concrete. He asked her name and other questions to distract her, he said, learning she was a student. “Then she said, ‘You smell good,’� he said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NFTA bus driver Darnell Barton is seen in front of a bus in Buffalo, N.Y., on Monday. On Oct. 18, Barton’s decisive action stopped a woman from leaping from a roadway bridge to her death on to the highway below. Caught between the rules of his job and his training as a first responder, Barton stopped his bus, grabbed the woman and brought her back over the rail to safety.

female driver who’d been behind the bus came to help, speaking to the woman until police and an ambulance arrived. “While I was holding her, listening to their questions, I just prayed,� the bus driver said. “Whatever was on her mind, it had her. It really, really had her.�

When the ambulance drove away, Barton got back on his bus — and received a standing ovation from the high school students and other passengers who’d been watching through the windows. He finished his route, wrote up a report and went home. “Being the humble individ-

ual that Darnell is, he didn’t write it in a way that was going to call attention to himself,� said C. Douglas Hartmayer, spokesman for the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority. “It was: I did it, got back on my bus and continued. That speaks volumes about his demeanor and character.�

Campaigning Democrats careful not to overplay shutdown CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Outside a stateof-the-art grain elevator, Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley talks of how Republicans and Democrats in Congress need to overcome differences that scuttled farm legislation last summer. A day later, he tells veterans at a rec center in his bluecollar, northern Iowa district that both parties should work together to help them. “The issues surrounding our veterans should be issues that bring us together, not issues that drive us apart,� Braley said in a bipartisan pitch that lacks direct criticism of Republicans over the 16-day partial government shutdown.

In this district dotted with farming towns, as well as in districts across the country, the political environment is toxic for lawmakers running for re-election or seeking higher office. Polls show voters of all political stripes are down on Washington, especially after the shutdown.

While people blame Republicans more, Democrats are hardly immune

to criticism and easily could be fired next year.

Besides, a second-term president’s party typically suffers losses in midterm elections.

Braley and many other Democrats are treading carefully. They are avoiding the partisan

slashing that marked the shutdown crisis, delicately presenting their party as the better bet to break the gridlock and seeking to take advantage of a possible political opening.

A CBS News poll taken immediately after the

shutdown showed more Americans see more Democrats as pursuing the right level of compromise than Republicans, 35 percent to 24 percent.

Still, Democrats are mindful of the risks of overplaying their hand.

Gloating over the GOP’s

public squabbles probably wouldn’t go over well with a public angry and hungering for Washington to work together. Assailing Republicans as ideological obstructionists also could give voters reason to view all politicians as

the same. And acting overconfident could invite criticism that Democrats are out of touch with a public made bitter not just by the shutdown, but by weeks of problems with a health care law enacted solely by their party.

Social Security benefits to go up

Richard Gaitskell, study co-investigator from Brown University, talks Tuesday about an experiment being conducted deep in an abandoned gold mine in Lead, S.D. Gaitskell has said scientists at the Sanford Underground Research Facility found no evidence of dark matter in the gold mine.

BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Social Security benefits will rise 1.5 percent in January, giving millions of retired and disabled workers an average raise of $19 a month to keep up with the cost of living.

The increase is among the smallest since automatic adjustments were adopted in 1975 and reflects the fact that consumer prices haven’t gone up much in the past year. The annual cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, is based on a government measure of inflation that was released Wednesday.

Automatic COLAs were adopted in 1975 so that benefits for people on fixed incomes would keep pace with rising prices. Some advocates for older Americans, however, complain that the COLA sometimes falls short, especially for people with high medical costs.

Michael Hartzog of Charleston, S.C., said the small COLA will make it difficult to keep up with his wife’s medical bills. “We’ll probably need to reduce our spending even more,� Hartzog said. “I don’t know exactly how.�

Hartzog, 63, is retired after working 38 years at the Social Security Administration in South Carolina. He said his federal pension and Social Security benefits are affected by the COLA. The COLA affects benefits for more than one-fifth of the country: nearly 58 million Social Security recipients, as well as benefits for millions of disabled veterans, federal retirees and people who get Supplemental Security Income, the disability program for the poor.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Search for dark matter comes up empty LEAD, S.D. (AP) — Nearly a mile underground in an abandoned gold mine, one of the most important quests in physics has so far come up empty in the search for the elusive substance known as dark matter, scientists announced Wednesday.

But physicists on the project were upbeat, saying they had developed a new, more sensitive method of searching for the mysterious material that has mass but cannot be seen. They planned to keep looking. “This is just the opening salvo,� said Richard Gaitskell of Brown University, a scientist working on the Large Un-

derground Xenon experiment, or LUX, the most advanced Earth-based search for dark matter. A detector attached to the International Space Station has so far failed to find any dark matter either.

The researchers released their initial findings Wednesday after the experiment’s first few months at the Sanford Underground Research Facility, which was built in the former Homestake gold mine in South Dakota’s Black Hills.

With more than 4,800 feet of earth helping screen out background radiation, scientists tried to trap dark matter, which they hoped would be

revealed in the form of weakly interacting massive particles, nicknamed WIMPS. The search, using the most sensitive equipment in the world, is looking for the light fingerprint of a WIMP bouncing off an atomic nucleus of xenon cooled to minus 150 degrees.

But nothing has been found. The team will continue looking for another year and plans to build a more sensitive experiment on the site, using a bigger tank of xenon. Scientists involved in the experiment said it had eliminated some theoretical candidates for dark matter, and there are many more theoretical models to search for.

“The short story is that we didn’t see dark matter interacting, but we had the most sensitive search for dark matter ever performed in the world,� said Daniel McKinsey, a physicist at Yale University.

The LUX experiment was 20 times more sensitive than any previous experiments, scientists said. The proposed next experiment would be 1,000 times more sensitive still.

The lab, in a bright, clean space at the end of an old mining tunnel filled with pipes and electric cables, is reached by a 10-minute ride in an elevator that once carried miners.

ASHINGTON — Every disaster has its moment of clarity. Physicist Richard Feynman dunks an O-ring into ice water and everyone understands instantly why the shuttle Challenger exploded. This week, the Obamacare O-ring froze for all the world to see: Hundreds of thousands of cancellation letters went out to people who had been assured a dozen times by the president that “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan. Period.”

The cancellations lay bare three pillars of Obamacare: (a) mendacity, (b) paternalism and (c) subterfuge. (a) Those letters are irrefutable evidence that Obama’s re- Charles peated you- KRAUTHAMMER keep-your-coverage claim was false. Why were they sent out? Because Obamacare renders illegal (with exceedingly narrow “grandfathered” exceptions) the continuation of any insurance plan deemed by Washington regulators not to meet their arbitrary standards for adequacy. Example: No maternity care? You are terminated.

So a law designed to cover the uninsured is now throwing far more people off their insurance than it can possibly be signing up on the nonfunctioning insurance exchanges. Indeed, most of the 19 million people with individual insurance will have to find new and likely more expensive coverage. And that doesn’t even include the additional millions who are sure to lose their employerprovided coverage. That’s a lot of people. That’s a pretty big lie.

But perhaps Obama didn’t know. Maybe the bystander president was as surprised by this as he claims to have been by the IRS scandal, the Associated Press and James Rosen phone logs, the failure of the Obamacare website, the premeditation of the Benghazi attacks, the tapping of Angela Merkel’s phone — i.e., the workings of the federal government of which he is the nominal head.

I’m skeptical. It’s not as if the Obamacare plandropping is an obscure regulation. It’s at the heart of Obama’s idea of federally regulated and standardized national health insurance.

Still, how could he imagine getting away with a claim sure to be exposed as factually false?

The same way he maintained for two weeks that false narrative about Benghazi. He figured he’d get away with it.

And he did. Simple formula: Delay, stonewall and wait for a supine and protective press to turn spectacularly incurious.

Look at how The New York Times covered his “keep your plan” whopper — buried on page 17 with a headline calling the cancellations a “prime target.”

As if this is a partisan issue and not a brazen falsehood clear to any outside observer — say, Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler, who gave the president’s claim four Pinocchios. Noses don’t come any longer. (b) Beyond mendacity, there is liberal paternalism, of which these forced cancellations are a classic case.

We canceled your plan, explained Jay Carney, because it was substandard.

We have a better idea.

Translation: Sure, you freely chose the policy, paid for the policy, renewed the policy, liked the policy. But you’re too primitive to know what you need. We do. Your policy is hereby canceled.

Because what you really need is what our experts have determined must be in every plan. So a couple in their 60s must buy maternity care. A teetotaler must buy substance abuse treatment. And a healthy 28-year-old with perfectly appropriate catastrophic insurance must pay for bells and whistles for which he has no use.

It’s Halloween. There is a knock at your door. You hear: “We’re the government and we’re here to help.”

You hide. (c) As for subterfuge, these required bells and whistles aren’t just there to festoon the health care Christmas tree with voterpleasing freebies. The planners knew all along that if you force insurance buyers to overpay for stuff they don’t need, that money can subsidize other people.

Obamacare is the largest transfer of wealth in recent American history. But you can’t say that openly lest you lose elections. So you do it by subterfuge: hidden taxes, penalties, mandates and coverage requirements that yield a surplus of overpayments.

So that your president can promise to cover 30 million uninsured without costing the government a dime. Which from the beginning was the biggest falsehood of them all. And yet the free lunch is the essence of modern liberalism. Free mammograms, free preventative care, free contraceptives for Sandra Fluke. Come and get it.

And then when you find your policy canceled, your premium raised and your deductible outrageously increased, you’ve learned the real meaning of “free” in the liberal lexicon: something paid for by your neighbor — best, by subterfuge.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR It’s time for Obama to take responsibility I would like to respond to Dennis E. Vickers’ Oct. 15 letter. It is hard for me to understand why anyone voted for Obama either time. The question used to be asked, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” I, for one, am worse off since he took over the Oval Office. My wallet is far worse off than it was before he took office, and I, like many others, are going to be further under the poverty line if we have to pay for his stupid ideas. More bad news for all poor people: we have to put up with him and his stupid ideas for over three more years. I agree with Mr. Vickers. Obama is the worst president I can remember,

and that is bad when you consider we had Mr. Carter and Mr. Clinton in the office.

Why does anyone continue to support Obama? That is the question I would like to know the answer to as well, Mr. Vickers. Once again, I say if our wages or refund gets attacked to pay for Obama’s stupid ideas then it is being forced on us, therefore it is not freedom because freedom means you have a choice. Also, I agree with Mr. Vickers’ humorous comment about the White House playing Alabama; I’m not an Alabama fan either, but it would be nice if there was away to get Obama out of there before his term is up and he takes all our freedoms from us, and sends us all to the poor house.

The Post and Courier of Charleston on immigration reform: Immigration is a national issue. But it’s also a state and local issue. And effective immigration reform is an overdue need on all three levels.

The misguided notion that comprehensive immigration reform is a purely left-wing cause was debunked again Monday when a diverse coalition of South Carolina business and faith leaders went to Washington to support it.

Realists charge, with some validity, that business organizations such as the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce support immigration reform in part to assure cheap labor.

However, sustaining an available — and yes, affordable — workforce is a legitimate concern for the business community, including the agriculture and construction sectors that have long depended on immigrant labor.

Plus, as Bryan Derreberry, president and CEO of the Charleston chamber, told our reporter, immigration reform isn’t just about low-wage workers: “It’s about talent at all different levels,” including high-tech fields.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, did say last week that immigration reform is “an important subject

thought: When are Obama and the Democrats going to quit blaming things on Mr. Bush? He has been out of office for almost five years now.

What president, except for Washington, hasn’t inherited something from the previous president? When are Obama and Democrats going to act like adults and stand on their own two feet for a change instead of hunting for a scapegoat? Who is Obama going to blame for his stupid policies?

Who is he going to blame for taking more of our freedoms from us? It is past time for Obama to grow up and take responsibility for his own ideas and quit trying to find someone else to put the blame on. Be a man.

that needs to be addressed.”

And Rep. Darrell Issa, RCalif., will introduce a bill of his own this week, aimed at allowing illegal immigrations to “come from the shadows” and eventually into legal status.

Some hard-right critics of reform proposals condemn them as “amnesty.”

But if some path to legal status isn’t included in reform, we will be stuck with the unsustainable status quo.

And that wouldn’t just be bad for business.

It would be bad for America — and South Carolina.

The Aiken Standard on international spying a doubleedge sword: Mass surveillance of American citizens hit the news cycle first. Now, international spying on foreign leaders by the National Security Agency — or NSA — has hit the headlines.

This has undoubtedly infuriated individuals overseas, fueling concerns that American officials are indiscriminately collecting vast amounts of mobile phone and email data globally. It’s really no secret that our country collects data from sources around the world.

So does every intelligence service with such capabilities internationally. They likely also spy on the U.S. or would if they could.

However, our security officials need to ensure we’re collecting information be-

cause we need to, not merely because we can.

For instance, Spanish media reports indicated the NSA allegedly spied on 60 million phone calls placed in Spain between Dec. 10 of last year and Jan. 8. Those reports followed the revelation that the NSA eavesdropped on millions phone calls in France and other countries.

In the post-9/11 world, that may be what it takes to keep the world safe. However, such measures must be weighed against the needs of our international relationships and ever increasing global economy.

Some heads of state have indicated the allegations have deteriorated trust in the Obama administration.

This could come back to hurt us during trade agreement negotiations or when we really do need intelligence information that we haven’t gathered ourselves.

While counterterrorism efforts are obviously vital, spying on close allies seemingly does more to undermine our relationships than anything else. An inside memo obtained by The Guardian newspaper indicated that eavesdropping on foreign leaders actually produced “little reportable intelligence.”

We should not lose sight of the mission to keep America safe, but analyzing the political and economic costs and benefits of international spying is still essential.

Detectives stressed this is an isolated incident that involved individuals who knew each other and that the dispute stemmed from “name calling.”

“Although this is a tragic incident, it’s clear that these individuals did not take the right approach in resolving their differences,” said Police Chief Russell Roark.

“Our agency has observed that a pattern has developed in our community in instances where people who have felt like they have been disrespected by someone have chosen to resort to violence instead of trying to work out their differences using simple conflict resolution techniques like talking it out.

“The majority of our violent incidents are not gang related but between people who know each other and resort to violence to re-

solve their issues. We as a community need to be able to help educate people with alternative solutions to deal with disagreements without resorting to violence. The department’s Crime Prevention Unit will explore avenues to work with churches and community groups to establish an education awareness program directed toward conflict resolution.”

GARBAGE from Page A1 flames between the cab ... and the trash compactor.”

Firefighters think the blaze was caused by a mechanical malfunction that burned through the truck’s hydraulic system.

Florence Highway was closed in the 2100 block for about an hour while firefighters sprayed fire-resistant foam into the cabin from atop the truck’s garbage compartment.

The driver got out of the vehicle unharmed.

Fifteen to 20 minutes after the engine arrived on scene, the fire was under control. The truck was towed by a wrecker service to the Sumter County landfill, where workers unloaded the truck after firefighters extinguished some smoldering garbage. It was then towed to the city maintenance lot.

NATION

The truck was a relatively new 2009 model front-loader that Sumter City Manager Deron McCormick estimates could cost the city up to $250,000 to replace. But those details were still to be worked out on Thursday.

“In a situation like this, we’re just glad nobody got hurt,” McCormick said.

White estimated the truck as a $100,000 loss.

“You might be able to use the axle off the back for an old truck, but for insurance purposes, it’s a total loss,” he said.

McCormick said the fire will not disrupt the operations of the city’s garbage collectors.

“We’ll be back at work tomorrow,” he said, “using some new equipment.”

No October jinx this year for stock market NEW YORK (AP) — October, with its history of big crashes on Wall Street, didn’t scare off investors this time.

To the contrary, the stock market seemed unstoppable.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index closed at a record high seven times and ended the month up 4.5 percent.

The market climbed even after October began with the 16-day government shutdown and the threat of a potentially calamitous U.S. default.

“The market didn’t waver in the face of the shutdown,” said Anton Bayer, CEO of Up Capital Management, an investment adviser. “That was huge.”

After being rattled by a series of down-tothe-wire budget battles in recent years, investors have become inured to the ways of Washington lawmakers.

Instead of selling stocks, they kept their focus on what they say really matters: the Federal Reserve.

The central bank is buying $85 billion of bonds every month and keeping its benchmark short-term interest rate near zero to promote economic growth. The Fed stimulus has helped generate a stock market rally that has been going on since March 2009.

With October’s gains, the S&P 500 is now up 23.2 percent for the year and is on track for its best year since 2009.

The Dow Jones industrial average is 18.6 percent higher, and the Nasdaq composite index is up 29.8 percent.

The S&P 500 has climbed 160 percent since bottoming out at 676.53 in March 2009 during the Great Recession.

Cavaliers, Generals meet with playoff berth up for grabs

BY DENNIS BRUNSON dennisb@theitem.com It has been several years since Robert E. Lee Academy made the SCISA state playoffs in football; Thomas Sumter Academy has made the 2A state playoffs in each of head coach Troy Kessinger’s first seven

seasons at the school.

REL has a chance to bring both of those streaks to an end today when it plays host to the Generals at McCutchen Field beginning at 7:30 p.m.

It is a cut-and-dry situation in this Region I-2A matchup. The winner of the game will

earn the region’s fourth and final spot in the playoffs, which begins

next week; the loser will begin packing up the equipment on Monday.

“Robert E. Lee hasn’t been to the playoffs in five or six years,” said head coach David Rankin, who is in the first year of his second stint at the Bishopville school. “With the young team that we have, we’d at least like to get in there and give them the experience of playing in

a playoff game.”

Not only has TSA been to the playoffs each year under Kessinger, it had a string of six straight region titles snapped this season.

LMA takes on rival minus QB

Wilson Hall quarterback William Kinney, center, has used his arm more than his feet this season for the Barons. In his second year under head coach Bruce Lane’s offensive system, Kinney and the Barons have thrived, posting a 9-0 record heading into today’s matchup against Laurence Manning Academy at Spencer Field.

Natural progression Wilson Hall QB Kinney thrives in 2nd year running Barons’ offense

BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS jdriggers@theitem.com The difference between last year’s Wilson Hall football squad and the Barons of 2013 can likely be found in the mentality of their quarterback, William Kinney.

“When I have the ball, I’m always looking pass first,” Kinney said. “I’m looking downfield. If it’s

covered well, then I’ll try to take off and make something happen.”

Kinney has made a lot of things happen with his feet this year as WH’s second-lead- W. KINNEY ing rusher with 582 yards. But the biggest change for Kinney and the Barons has come

in the passing game.

The senior signal caller has already thrown for 1,491 through nine games — nearly double the amount he had in all 10 LANE games he played last year.

His passing attempts are up (121 against 101)

and his rushing attempts are down (66 vs. 91). Still, the Barons have managed to go 9-0 heading into today’s 7:30 p.m. regularseason finale against Laurence Manning Academy — outscoring opponents 384-82 in the process.

The reason?

“Confidence,” Kinney said. “I just feel a lot more SEE KINNEY, PAGE B3

Already faced with the difficult task of playing unbeaten Wilson Hall today at Spencer Field, the Laurence Manning Academy football team is also faced with trying to beat its rival without its starting quarterback.

LMA, now 7-3 overall and 5-3 in SCISA 3A play, defeated Porter-Gaud 41-32 last week, and it did so under the direction of senior Drake Hutson. Hutson took over for junior starter J.T. Eppley who broke his EPPLEY collarbone in the first quarter and is out for the rest of the year.

“We work hard every day to get better and we strive to one day be able to put together a season like Wilson HUTSON Hall has done,” Swampcats head coach Robbie Briggs said. “They’re very polished, very sound and their quarterback (William Kinney) is the best player in the league.”

Regardless of what happens today, the Swampcats will be the No. 4 seed in the 3A state playoffs, meaning they will be at home for next week’s first round. Wilson Hall will also be at home.

Quarles comes up big for USC Boston fans revel in World Series victory

Kentucky No. 1 in preseason poll

BY GARY B. GRAVES The Associated Press LEXINGTON, Ky. — Every time Kentucky coach John Calipari starts to praise his latest crop of talented freshmen, he’s just as quick to point out that it is a work in progress.

As the Wildcats take the first step toward coming together, Calipari will also have to remind his players to get through those growing pains quickly, because they are now the team to beat in college basketball.

Kentucky — with a collection of high school AllAmericans — is ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press’ preseason Top 25, a significant step considering the Wildcats finished 21-12 last season and were upset by Robert Morris in the first round of the NIT. It’s Kentucky’s third preseason No. 1 and first since 1995-96 when the Wildcats won the national championship. The other preseason No. 1 was in 1980-81.

Kentucky was ranked for just one week in the final 16 polls of last season but Calipari enters this season with

a roster featuring two returnees — Alex Poythress and Willie Cauley-Stein — and six freshmen who were selected McDonalds AllAmericans last season.

To say that a ninth national championship is this year’s goal is an understatement considering Kentucky has social media and blogs suggesting an unbeaten season is possible.

Calipari would just like to get to the Nov. 8 opener against North CarolinaAsheville first. The Wildcats begin the exhibition season Friday.

“It’s a nice honor, but it’s way too early to figure out who’s the best team in the country,’’ Calipari said. “We may be very talented, but I can’t imagine us being the best team in the country at this point.’’

Kentucky beat out Michigan State in a close vote from the 65-member panel.

The Wildcats received 27 first-place votes and 1,546 points in the poll released Thursday. The Spartans, who return four starters from the team that lost to Duke in the NCAA tournament’s round of 16, snared 22 first-place votes and 1,543 points.

It won’t take long for the schools to settle the issue.

Kentucky and Michigan State meet on Nov. 12 at the State Farm Champions Classic in Chicago.

If their rankings hold, it’ll set up the earliest meeting between the top two teams.

No. 1 Indiana beat No. 2 UCLA 84-64 on Nov. 29, 1975 in St. Louis, Mo.

McIlroy bolts out to lead at HSBC Champions SHANGHAI — Rory McIlroy found himself in a spot that must have seemed vaguely familiar on Thursday in the HSBC Champions.

He was in the lead.

McIlroy looked more like a two-time major champion than someone who hasn’t won all year. He rarely had any stress and opened with a 7-under 65, building a 2-shot lead after one round of this World Golf Championship.

“It felt good to be out there and in control of my golf ball,’’ McIlroy said. “If only one round, 18 holes.

But it’s definitely the way I wanted and needed to start.’’

Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano, coming off a win last week in the BMW Masters across town, and Jamie Donaldson each had 67. U.S. Open champion Justin Rose and Jordan Spieth, starting his second full season on the PGA Tour, were among those at 68.

British Open champion Phil Mickelson had a chance to join McIlroy in the lead until it all went wrong. One shot behind with two holes to play, Mickelson hit two wedges into the water fronting the par-5 eighth green and took a quadruple-bogey 9.

He fell back to a 71.

Senior had nine birdies, an eagle and three bogeys at TPC Harding Park.

David Frost shot 64, missing a short putt on the 18th hole. Fred Couples was third at 65, and Mark O’Meara had a 66. Bernhard Langer, Steve Elkington and Duffy Waldorf shot 67.

Charles Schwab Cup points leader Kenny Perry topped the group at 68.

NASCAR PENALIZES RCR CREW

CHARLOTTE — NASCAR indefinitely suspended the Richard Childress Racing crew member who threw a hammer at driver Kevin

Harvick’s truck during a race at Martinsville Speedway.

Adam Brown was suspended Thursday for “throwing an object at a competitor’s race truck.’’

Crew chief Paul (Marcus) Richmond was fined $10,000 because he assumes responsibility for the entire team.

Both work on Ty Dillon’s truck for RCR. Dillon spun Harvick late in Saturday’s race as both were racing for position.

Harvick hit Dillon’s truck under caution, then drove into Dillon’s pit stall as he returned to pit road. Brown then threw the hammer at the truck.

Harvick is leaving RCR at the end of the year after 13 seasons to join Stewart-Haas Racing.

Truett’s Street Stock win highlights weekend racing

LMA from Page B1

Points champion Kale Green dominated the Crate Late Model division, leading flag to flag. Banjo Duke was second with Trey Shirey third, Gene Kinard fourth and Derrick Williams fifth.

Terrell Holloway held off Wade Sinkler to pick up the win in the Super Street division. Sinkler gave Holloway all he could handle, but couldn’t find a way around him. Sinkler settled for second with Angelo Tager third, Robbie Disher fourth and Mark McLeod fifth.

Anthony Hudson added another win to his growing number of Sumter Speedway victories, leading flag to flag on his way to the Rookie Division victory.

Holloway picked up his second win of the evening, leading flag to flag in the Stock-4 feature. Jason Hodge was second with Justin Tager third, Allen Ridgeway fourth and Greg Tumbleson fifth.

Sumter Speedway’s annual Turkey Day Race will close out the 2013 racing season. This event will take place on Saturday, Nov. 9.

208 yards rushing on 24 carries, including two touchdown runs. He also had a 25-yard TD reception and even threw for a 34-yard score.

Defensively, sophomore linebacker Tripp Mason led the team with 12 total tackles, two forced fumbles, two tackles for loss and two QB hurries.

LMA is averaging 29.5 points per game while allowing 18.8. The 9-0 Barons average 42.6 points while allowing just 9.1. Wilson Hall is averaging 175 passing yards per game and rushing for nearly 250.

“I would look at us as being a power team and those guys (Wilson Hall) being more of a quick, well-balanced team,” Briggs said. “We only run five plays and they have a very balanced attack.

They’ve get everybody involved with their offense, whereas with us, we come out in one or two formations and run the football and try to control the clock,” he explained. “That’s who we are right now, and we’re very thankful to have a winning season and a home playoff game so far.”

Perhaps the biggest factor for either team could be the play at QB. Kinney has connected on 85 of 121 passing for 1,491 yards and 16 touchdowns to two interceptions.

Kinney is also the team’s second-leading rusher with 582 yards and nine scores.

“What you have to do is everybody just has to do their jobs,” Briggs responded when asked how to contain Kinney.

“And when you have an opportunity to make a play against him you’ve got to execute.

You’ve got to swarm to the football because he’s got great vision. I guess in general we just have to rally to the football and that’s the most important thing.”

Senior Jay Goodson leads the Barons rushing attack with 844 yards rushing and 13 TDs while senior Parker McDuffie has 514 yards rushing and six scores. Briggs said his team needs to just worry about each play.

“We don’t need to even consider an end result because if we start thinking about end results we’re going to be in for a long night,” he explained.

“We need to limit their possession and maximize our possessions. We can’t give up the big play on defense or special teams if we’re going to have a chance to win.”

Win or lose, Briggs said he feels his team still has a ways to go, but is proud of the season.

“I feel like we’re light years away from where we can be,” Briggs said. “I’m very proud of what the kids have been able to accomplish this year considering I didn’t start with them until the second week of June. It’s been a good year and we feel like we’re four or five plays away from being 9-1, but our record speaks for itself.”

BY CODY TRUETT Special to The Item Sumter Speedway veteran Jody Truett picked up a hard-fought victory in the 17-car Street Stock feature to highlight racing action at Sumter Speedway this past Saturday.

As the Street Stock division cars poured onto the track for their main event, the fans were on the edge of their seats, ready for the excitement that was about to get under way. As the green flag flew, Greg Murphy and Truett battled side by side for the lead through turns 1 and 2. Adam Hill was third and Heather Welch was fourth. An early spin would bring out a caution and bunch the field up for a restart. After a few green flag laps, Murphy and Truett continued to show the way with Murphy holding the advantage.

After another caution, the field once again bunched up for a doublefile restart. On the restart, the cars of Murphy and Truett made contact and Truett

ended up spun around, bringing out yet another caution. Murphy was sent to the rear for rough driving, relinquishing the lead to William Disher.

As the race began again, Disher jumped into the lead with Hill and Michael Butler on his heels. Daniel Morris joined the battle along with Timmy Kimsey as they all chased Disher’s No. 18 machine. A spin in turns 3 and 4 would bring out a caution.

Hill shot into the lead on the restart as Disher fell back to second. Kimsey took over third and Truett battled his way back to fourth.

Truett and Disher made contact in turns one and two and Disher spun around, bringing out another caution with just seven laps remaining in the feature. Truett was sent to the rear with Disher for rough driving. On the restart, Hill

jumped into the lead with Kimsey second and Morris third. Another caution would be displayed for an incident in turns 1 and 2.

On the restart, Hill maintained the lead with Kimsey second.

Truett once again battled his was back to the front and took over third. Truett dove to the inside of Kimsey and took over second, setting his sights on Hill for the lead. Another spin in turns 1 and 2 bunched the field up for a green/white/checkered finish. On the restart, Truett shot into the lead, sending Hill back to second.

Truett cruised on to pick up the victory with Hill second, Kimsey third, Morris fourth and Disher fifth.

Luke Wilson picked up the win in the Bomber-4 division. Bucky Deberry was second with John Ledwell third, AJ Jackson fourth and Jay Kyle fifth.

Eagles focus on C.E. Murray, not playoff points

BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER mchristopher@theitem.com The Scott’s Branch High School football team will travel to Greeleyville today to face a 1-8 C.E. Murray team and look to finish the regular season off with a win.

Whether a win will be enough to get 1-8 Scott’s Branch into the 1A Division II state playoffs, only the points totals following today’s games will tell. In fact, SB could lose the game and still advance to postseason play.

“I’m kind of apprehensive of going to the playJOHNSON offs as a 1-win team because I don’t know if we actually deserve to go to the playoffs with one win,” head coach Jesse Johnson said.

“It is what it is though.”

“I don’t have a clue what they’re talking about with the points system,” said Johnson, referring to the fact Scott’s Branch made the playoffs last year after a 0-10 regular season. “I tried to figure it out (Wednesday) and I thought (we might have a shot) because we played some 2A and 3A teams and maybe the other schools only played 1A schools. I looked at the

formula that they use and haven’t figured it out.”

SB has more pressing concerns to deal with as CEM is 1-4 in league play.

Senior quarterback Tyquan Kennedy is probable after twisting his ankle last week, but his mobility will be limited.

Senior defensive back Nicholes Porchea and junior Meer Simon will be out for tonight’s contest and that means several younger players will have to step in.

“We’ve had some good plays from our young kids at times, but it’s just hard to maintain that high level of play when they’re so young,” Johnson said. “I’ll be the first to say we struggled in fundamentals because we missed all that with the young guys for spring training and summer when you can teach them some fundamentals from a different aspect than eighthgrade (middle school) ball. We’ve got six or seven freshmen starting because of injuries and the game is moving just a little bit faster t and they’re trying to make the adjustment.”

Should Kennedy not be able to go, junior TreShawn Jones and senior Jeremy Lee will share the role at QB, and perhaps run some Wildcat. Johnson said both players have been able to both run and throw.

Jones has been the most consistent

REL-TSA from Page B1 his seniors.

“It would be good to win (on Friday) to keep the season alive for the seniors,” said Kessinger, whose team is 1-7 on the season. “I know they would like to play as many games as they could play.”

The Cavaliers are 3-7 on the season. The teams are both 1-3 in the region with their lone victories coming against The King’s Academy.

Both Rankin and Kessinger said execution will be the determining factor in today’s contest.

“We’ve both had problems with mistakes and lack of execution,” said Rankin, who has also coached at

KINNEY from Page B1 comfortable in the offense now.”

Kinney’s confidence in the offense has coincided with the team’s growing faith in Kinney. The Barons were rundominated last year by a better than 2-to-1 margin. This season, the offense is a lot closer to 50-50.

“I thought this year was a natural progression for him,” head coach Bruce Lane said.

“We didn’t really get to have the summer preparation I would have liked last year with the new system. I didn’t want to give them the whole

threat on both sides of the ball, accounting for four total touchdowns.

He leads the team in receptions with 32 and in all-purpose yards.

Last week, Hemingway defeated the Eagles 42-6 while Timmonsville defeated C.E. Murray 54-12. CEM was led by Oceanez Fluitt, who scored both of his team’s touchdowns on rushes of 10 and 52 yards.

Johnson realizes his team has struggled on both sides of the ball because of injuries, youth and depth, but he feels the team will be much improved in the future because of it.

“I think we had an OK year, and I think it could’ve been better if we had a few more experienced players and that’s going to help us because several of these young kids got to play early,” he said.

MANNING AT MARLBORO COUNTY

The Manning Monarchs, who are 5-4 on the season, have no chance at making the 3A state playoffs as they travel to Bennettsville today to face Marlboro County. However, they can end the 7-2 Bulldogs’ chances at winning the Region VI-3A title with a win.

Manning is just 1-3 in league play while MC is in a 3-way tie for first place with Hartsville and Crestwood at 3-1.

TSA before. “We’re just not very consistent on offense.

We’ll run a play where it looks like we should have 10 yards, and we only get three. We’ve just got to do a better job of running our plays and holding on to the football.”

Kessinger said the Generals have struggled with turnovers as the season has progressed.

“We weren’t turning the ball over at the start of the season, but we were just overmatched,” Kessinger said. “We haven’t executed well and had a lot of turnovers lately. We had four in our last game (a 45-16 loss to region champion Florence Christian). We’ve got to do a good job of taking care of the football.”

The Generals have been outscored 342-121 while REL has been outscored 266-146.

playbook on the first day, so we had to gradually implement it.”

Switching from a Wing-T to an option offense takes time, and the lack of 7-on-7 drills and Kinney’s injury last season might have slowed the process.

Not this year.

“It’s not a real game, but it’s as close as you can get,” Kinney said of the 7-on-7 drills. “That just really helped get the timing down with the receivers. You could tell a big difference.”

As it turned out, it made a world of difference for newcomer Devin Singleton. Even after missing the last three games because of an injury, Singleton ranks as Kinney’s favorite target with 20 catches for

556 yards and seven touchdowns. He’s also caught two of Kinney’s longest TD passes this season (78 and 82 yards). “(The timing) developed pretty quickly,” Singleton said. “We became fast friends off the field, so that chemistry was there. He’s done a good job with all the receivers.

They’re all working hard to get better every day.”

It helps to have multiple weapons to throw to, Kinney said. Aside from their impressive rushing numbers, backs Jay Goodson and Parker McDuffie have also been key weapons in the passing game.

In fact, 11 different receivers have receptions for the Barons this season, accounting for 17 scores, and five of them have more than 100 yards.

“Coach Lane and I talked a lot about the offense over the summer,” Kinney said. “It’s gotten to where I can go through my read progressions and not really have to think.

It’s just instinct.”

Kinney has completed a remarkable .706 percent of his passes this year (85 for 121). His best game came against Hammond in which he was 13 of 14 for 278 yards and three scores.

“That was big,” Kinney said. “We’ve always had a tough time against Hammond, so that game really meant a lot to us in terms of confidence and belief in what we were doing.”

The Barons, who are 8-0 in SCISA 3A and own the top seed for the state playoffs,

have one final hurdle between them and a perfect regular season. The rival Swampcats enter with a 7-3 overall mark and a 5-3 record in 3A after clinching the No. 4 seed last week.

LMA has a strong power running attack led by Rashae Bey, The Item Offensive Player of the Week for the last two weeks.

“They have explosive backs and a really good line of scrimmage on offense,” Lane said. “They also have a very attack-minded defense. That’s something we’ve been focused on this week.

“They’re a very physical team, and it’s a rivalry game, so we’re going to have to be focused and execute well to beat a very good team.”

McDowell savors 1st touchdown run of season

BY SCOTT KEEPFER Greenville News

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins, top, hopes last week’s strong performance against Maryland is a sign of things to come for the rest of the season.

Watkins looks for strong finish

BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press

ACC SHOWDOWN

CLEMSON — If Sammy Watkins is playing out his final few games with No. 9 Clemson, he’s determined to finish with a flourish.

Watkins stellar run began last week with a record-setting 14catch, 163-yard showing in a 40-27 win at Maryland.

“It’s great when the offense is clicking and you can go out there and make a lot of plays,’’ Watkins said this week.

The 6-foot-1 junior bettered the mark of 13 receptions set in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl of former teammate DeAndre Hopkins.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney believes Watkins’ speed and technique will lead him to follow Hopkins as an NFL firstrounder next spring.

Watkins displays those skills whenever he lines up and leads the ACC with 813 receiving yards.

The Tigers (7-1, 5-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) close out their league road schedule at Virginia (2-6, 0-4) on Saturday.

Watkins has been making big plays all season. His first touchdown was a 77-yard touchdown against then No. 5 Georgia when he grabbed the ball in traffic and burst through two defenders and outraced them to the end zone.

The receiver was one of the few on offense to shine in a 51-14 drubbing against Florida State. He had eight catches for 68 yards and his 3-yard TD catch in the second quarter cut the Seminoles lead to 17-7 and put the blowout on pause for moment.

Watkins showed his fire on the play, too, fighting through thick coverage to get open just

WHERE: Scott Stadium TV/RADIO: ESPN, WWBD-FM 94.7 inside the goal line. He came up pumping his fist and encouraging teammates after the catch.

It’s those qualities that have made Watkins a top-10 staple in NFL mock drafts. Swinney counsels players who’ll be first round picks to leave early and he certainly expects Watkins to make that call.

“He’s a top 10 pick to me,’’ Swinney said. “I’d be surprised if he came back, but who knows? I didn’t think C.J. Spiller was coming back.’’

Spiller stunned his family, Swinney and Clemson fans when he returned for his senior season five years ago. Spiller went on to be the 2009 ACC player of the year and was picked ninth overall the next April by the Buffalo Bills.

Watkins said he hasn’t thought that far ahead, choosing to concentrate on the rest of Clemson’s season.

“All I can do is keep playing hard and keep giving the scouts what they’re looking for and everything will work out on my end,’’ he said.

Watkins was a freshman sensation soon after arriving on campus.

He had 82 catches for 1,219 yards and 12 touchdowns to be-

QUARLES from Page B1 game at 17-all with 42 seconds left.

Quarles earned the SEC defensive lineman of the week for his efforts against Missouri.

“I just listened to people and what they had to say in what I could get better on,’’ Quarles said. “I worked hard on my pass rushing. You have to figure out what you do best.’’

This season, that’s been getting to the quarterback and clogging to the middle.

There’s no doubt Quarles has benefited from the extra attention offenses pay to Clowney, last year’s SEC defensive player of the year.

Still, first-year line coach Deke Adams said that doesn’t mean the rest of the line gets to coast and wait for ball carriers to run into their arms.

“Everybody’s doing so much to Jadeveon that (Quarles) is producing when he gets the opportunity,’’ Adams said. “He’s focusing on getting off and making plays and he’s really done a great job with it.’’

Especially over the past month. Quarles had had four of his sacks and seven of his stops behind the line in October.

“I think he’s putting himself in the situation to make some plays,’’ Adams said. “He

come an All-American in 2011 and looked ready to break even bigger the following season. But a drug arrest in May 2012 led to a two-game suspension to start the season. He was sick and missed a trip to Boston College, then lasted only one play against LSU in the bowl game before getting hurt.

Watkins’ production dropped as quarterback Tajh Boyd focused more on sure-handed Hopkins, who set an ACC mark last fall with 18 touchdown catches.

When Hopkins left for the pros, Watkins understood he’d have to work harder to regain his edge and Boyd’s trust.

He worked in the weight room and looks a more chiseled 205 pounds. He and Boyd worked together during the offseason to rebuild a connection that was more dormant that dead.

Boyd said working with Watkins gave him a chance to “understand his mentality and his approach to the game.”

“He goes out there and tries to perform at a high level all the time,’’ Boyd said. “He’s been doing that a lot lately.’’

Virginia coach Mike London said Clemson’s offense measures up well with No. 2 Oregon, who beat the Cavaliers 59-10 earlier this season.

The Tigers have a “very dynamic, exciting offense,’’ London said.

“They capitalize on the vertical speed that they have with Watkins and some other players.’’

Watkins is closing in on a pair of school marks: He 36 receptions to break Aaron Kelley’s Clemson record of 232 catches and 281 yards receiving to surpass his pal Hopkins who leads that career category with 3,020.

understands what I’m trying to get out of him.’’

Not that it’s always come easily. Quarles was a Parade All-American in 2009 coming from Greenwood High. He signed with South Carolina, but spent the next season at Fork Union Military Academy before joining the Gamecocks the following year.

Quarles has been helped to the sidelines several times this fall, the most serious coming at Tennessee two games ago when Quarles walked to the locker room on crutches and wearing a knee brace.

Defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward said after that contest things for Quarles didn’t look good.

“To be honest, I didn’t think I would be able play,’’

CLEMSON — Forgive Roderick “Hot Rod” McDowell if his end zone celebration appeared a bit overzealous after he scored against Maryland last Saturday.

It had, after all, been quite a while since the last time he’d trod upon such treasured turf — one year and 20 days, to be exact.

“It felt real good, I felt like a little kid,” McDowell said. “I jumped up for a second and thought, ‘Hold on, calm down.

Act like you’ve been here before.’ And then I was like, ‘Hold up — I haven’t been here before.’ ” McDowell, the former Sumter High standout, had been there before, but not this season. He scored five touchdowns in relief of Andre Ellington last season, but hadn’t reached pay dirt since scoring twice against Georgia Tech on Oct. 6, 2012.

So McDowell proceeded to savor the moment last Saturday, leaping up into congratulatory hugs from two of the bigger guys who made the touchdown possible — Brandon Thomas and Giff Timothy — then immersing himself in a steady procession of

helmet slaps on the sideline.

“It was a long time coming,” he said.

Finally given his chance to shine, McDowell has emerged.

He rambled for 132 yards in Clemson’s season-opening victory against Georgia, and although he’s had several good games since, he hadn’t cracked the elusive century mark again until last week.

The big game at Maryland, which included two touchdowns in addition to career highs in yardage (161) and carries (30) cemented McDowell’s importance and may propel him to a big finish over the final four games of the regular season.

“We needed that big game from a running back, so it was great to see him step up and be the durable runner,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said.

Perhaps too durable.

McDowell’s 30 carries were the most he’d accumulated in a game since his days at Sumter, and the artificial surface at Byrd Stadium left a lasting impression.

“I have marks and burns on my arms and legs from the turf – I felt like I went 12 rounds with the turf and lost every one of them,” McDowell said.

Clemson running back and former Sumter High standout Roderick McDowell, center, runs into the end zone for a touchdown last Saturday in College Park, Md.

Quarles said. “In my mind, I thought it was all ligaments.’’

Instead, the prognosis was not that dire and after some rest from practice, Quarles was back in the lineup at Missouri. His return was overshadowed Shaw, who entered the game in the third quarter to lead a rally from a 17-point deficit.

Still, Quarles heroics were every bit as critical to the comeback.

Gamecocks defensive tackle J.T. Surratt, who nicknamed he and Quarles the “Bash Brothers,’’ never worried his fellow starter wouldn’t be alongside him for the crucial contest at Missouri.

“I had complete faith in him,’’ Surratt said. “I knew his heart would want him to play and I knew he was going to

come out play hard. I was glad he did what he did. He played awesome.’’

Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott said while containing Clowney is important, the Gamecocks have other players like Quarles ready to make plays.

“They’re aggressive.

They’ve got some big guys out there,’’ Prescott said.

“They’re going to make us try and beat them one-onone with talent. We’re ready for the matchup.’’

So is Quarles, who is gaining his own spotlight as a playmaker.

“I’m not worried about that at all,’’ he said. “I’m worried about going out here with my teammates and enjoying this year we’re having.’’

Georgia DB, former commitment, still considering USC who committed to USC in June and de-committed in September.

“One thing I’ve talked to Arden about is playing football right now,” said Allen.

“He’s got so much time ahead of him. I’m trying to keep him grounded. It’s tough on these kids. Arden is a big, old baby and I don’t want him to get caught up in the pressure and the hype.”

Key and Green are very close and Key tends to follow the older Green’s lead. Allen said USC is still very much in play for both.

“They both are still excited about South Carolina, but they are talking to guys and looking at different things,” he said. Key visited USC for a game earlier this season and could return for the ClemsonUSC game.

Defensive lineman Albert Huggins of OrangeburgWilkinson High School made his first game day visit of the season when he went up to Clemson for the FSU game.

He had been to Clemson before for games and camps, but this visit was entirely different.

“I’ve never seen the atmosphere that hyped before,” Huggins said. “That’s one thing that really impressed me. I talked to (Clemson head) Coach (Dabo) Swinney and he was telling me, ‘Albert, I respect you, whatever decision you make.’ That’s basically what he was telling me.”

Huggins plans to get to other games with USC, UNC and North Carolina State three targets. Huggins has not added any new offers to his list, which is comprised of USC, Clemson, FSU, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisville, UGA, NCSU, UNC, Auburn and South Carolina State. He does not have favorites and doesn’t have a timetable for a decision.

DB Mark Fields Jr. of Cornelius, N.C., made his second visit this season to Clemson for the FSU game.

“It was awesome, best I’ve ever seen,” said Fields who talked with Swinney and assistant coach Mike Reed prior to the game. While the Tigers suffered a lopsided loss, Fields said that does not affect his thinking about possibly going to Clemson.

“A game like that doesn’t affect me in any kind of way,” he said. “Things like that happen. Something like that doesn’t affect anything in my recruiting.”

Fields already was high on the Tigers and this visit did nothing to change that. “Of the offers I have right now, my top two I’d have to say are Clemson and South Carolina,” said Fields, who also has offers from Ohio State, Tennessee, UNC, NCSU, S.C. State and Charlotte. He has also been to USC for a game and is going to the AlabamaLSU game, noting that Alabama has been recruiting

him hard. He plans to get to USC for the Mississippi State or Florida game and hopes to go back to Clemson for another game. Is there a favorite for Fields between the two rivals? “No sir, they are the same to me,” he said.

WR Shadell Bell of Decatur, Ga., has Clemson as his leader and could commit to the Tigers in the next few months. Bell took a visit to Clemson for the Wake Forest game and loved what he saw.

“It was amazing,” he said.

“From the coaches to the atmosphere to the fans and players, I loved everything about it.”

His only other visit this season was to Auburn when it hosted Mississippi State. “I want to commit in either December or January,” Bell said.

“Right now, it would be Clemson.” His offers are from Clemson, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi State, NCSU, West Virginia, Virginia, Duke, Phil Minnesota, KORNBLUT Marshall and Appalachian State.

Quarterback Chason Virgil of Mesquite, Texas, attended Clemson’s game with FSU, his second visit with the Tigers since the summer. He was already feeling good about Clemson and this visit just added to those feelings.

“It was great,” he said. “I got to see the fans and the whole atmosphere of a game day at Clemson. I was overwhelmed.” The visit also gave Virgil a chance to see the Clemson offense up close.

“There’s a lot of play action and (QB) Tajh (Boyd) gets to run the ball a lot,” Virgil said.

“He has a lot of freedom within that offense and that’s what I really like about the offense.”

Of course, Boyd and the offense did not play well in the one-sided loss, but Virgil said the game’s result doesn’t affect his opinion of Clemson.

“Not everybody is going to play great,” Virgil said. “They played another great team in Florida State. I had lost that Thursday, so I’m not going to judge them when they lost a game.”

Virgil has offers from Clemson, Arizona State, UCLA, Nebraska, Mizzou, Mississippi State, Toledo and Texas. Clemson has been his only visit to this point and that’s put the Tigers on the point for him.

“They would be at the top,” Virgil said. “I’ve gotten down there twice to see them and I liked both of my experiences.

I haven’t been to any other school so, as you can see, I like Clemson a lot for me to go out there twice.” Virgil said he will still wait a while on a decision and won’t make one until sometime in 2014. Virgil was joined on the visit by his teammate, WR Akilian Butrecruiting corner

F

ormer South Carolina commitment defensive back Wesley Green of Lithonia, Ga., is now looking at USC, Clemson, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia and Alabama, according to his head coach, Cortez Allen.

Allen said Green will take official visits to USC, UGA, Tennessee and Ole Miss. He also will visit Clemson and Alabama with one getting the final official visit. No dates have been set. Green’s last visit was to UGA for the Louisiana State game. He’s also been to USC this season and plans to be at the ClemsonUSC game.

Green committed to USC in June and de-committed in September. His coach said he’s taking things much slower this time.

“He’s going back and allowing the process to take its course,” Allen said. “There’s an interest in all those schools. He wants to get on campus and get around the guys and see what the feel is.”

Senior defensive end Dante Sawyer of Suwanee, Ga., is still working on getting to USC for a game this season, but that is something he plans to get done. “It needs to be soon, I know that,” Sawyer said. He has been to Tennessee, Auburn and UGA for games this season. Sawyer said he’s down to USC, Tennessee, Auburn and Missouri.

He has all of his official visits remaining, and he plans to take them before deciding.

He does not claim a favorite right now, but said USC is “up there.” Sawyer is not sure when he’ll make his decision.

Offensive lineman Jordan Prestwood of Arizona Western Junior College made an official visit to Florida State over the weekend. He also plans to take official visits to USC, Ole Miss, Auburn and Oklahoma.

Wide receiver Josh Malone of Nashville, Tenn., made an official visit to Ohio State over the weekend. He also has taken official visits to UGA and Tennessee and will visit FSU this weekend and Clemson on Nov. 15.

Linebacker Raekwon McMillan of Hinesville, Ga., went on an official visit to Ohio State this past weekend.

He has also been to UGA officially and has November visits set with Alabama, Clemson and Florida.

Juniors: DE Arden Key of Lithonia, Ga., a former USC commitment who is a teammate of Green, was scheduled for an unofficial visit to LSU last Saturday. Key continues to garner offers, with Florida and Alabama two of the newest. Some of his other offers are USC, Clemson, Arkansas, UGA, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, Ole Miss, North Carolina, Stanford, Tennessee, UCLA, Southern California, Virginia Tech, Washington and LSU. There will no rush to judgment this time for Key,

ler, who also has a Clemson offer.

Junior WR Markeyvious Adams of Greenwood High visited Clemson for the FSU game, his second visit to Clemson this season. He has also been to games at App, UGA and Georgia Tech and is planning to attend USC’s game on Saturday. Showing interest in Adams are Clemson, UNC, NCSU, Duke, FSU and Tennessee.

WR Tyron Johnson of New Orleans has offers from Clemson along with LSU, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, San Diego State, Tulsa and Texas Tech.

Johnson has not taken many visits, but has attended games at LSU. Clemson is a school he would like to visit.

WR Juval Mollette of Randleman, N.C., was back at Clemson for the FSU game, his second trip to Clemson in the past two seasons. Mollette has also been to USC, UNC, NCSU, Virginia and VT this season. He has no other visit plans, but might try to get to Tennessee. Mollette has offers from all of the schools he’s visited along with GT, WF, East Carolina, Duke and Tennessee. He does not have any favorites.

DB Calvin Brewton of Miami has Clemson and FSU as his co-leaders. The distance from home will make a trip to Clemson this season difficult for Brewton but he’s holding out hope he can make the trip. His offers are from Clemson, FSU, WVU, Central Florida, South Florida, and Louisiana-Lafayette.

QB Blake Lynch of Troup, Texas, committed to Baylor.

Clemson and Mississippi State were his other favorites.

DL Daylon Mack of Gladewater, Texas, committed to A&M. Clemson was also on his short list.

Basketball News: Dante Buford, a 6-foot-8-inch player from Jacksonville, Fla., made official visits to Miami and Oklahoma last week.

“He’s got his scores, so he’s qualified and we’re just waiting to see what he does,” Buford’s head coach, Rex Morgan, said.

USC head coach Frank Martin and his staff are staying in regular contact with Buford, who will make his official visit to USC this weekend. “They’re looking forward to having him on campus officially after he sees the other two, and I think he’ll have a better feel for it,” said Morgan.

Buford, who is a Simpsonville native, has been unofficially to USC. He is expected to announce his decision soon after his visit to USC. Junior PJ Dozier, a 6-6 player at Spring Valley High in Columbia, is one of the top players in the country in the junior class despite the fact he will miss the season while recovering from knee surgery.

After offers from all over the

country, Dozier has his list down to 13 schools, according to his father, Perry Dozier, a former USC player who is the head coach at Spring Valley. That list is USC, Clemson, UNC, NCSU, Louisville, Georgetown, Michigan, Kansas, Ohio State, Indiana, Baylor, Mississippi State and Florida. The Doziers visited UNC recently to watch practice. “(UNC head) Coach (Roy) Williams has been down several times to see him,” Perry Dozier said. PJ Dozier might take a visit to Georgetown as well. He has been to USC and Clemson and both are real players for him.

“He likes both of them,” his father said. “He loves the guys over at Clemson as well as South Carolina. Of course, he’d like to be close to home, but his selection will be more geared towards what will be the best fit for him.”

PJ Dozier will lay out his five official visits in December. Coaches from all of the 13 schools have been in to see him. He is doing extremely well in his rehabilitation, according to his father. “Roll the ball out there and he could do tremendously well,” the Spring Valley head coach said.

Last season, PJ Dozier averaged 18 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds per game.

The USC women gained a commitment for the ‘14 class from 5-6 point guard Bianca Cuevas of Brooklyn, N.Y. ESPN’s HoopGurlz ranks her the No. 8 PG in the class nationally and the No. 44 player overall. Here is there evaluation of Cuevas from July: Electrifying lead guard with court savvy; flourishes in uptempo game, relying on the flashy play vs. the fundamental decision; interior passer, tempo changer, reads pressure; flamboyant finisher with inconsistent results; playground creator.”

Cards’ silent bats to blame for Series flameout

BY R.B. FALLSTROM The Associated Press ST. LOUIS — Clutch hitting deserted the St. Louis Cardinals in the postseason. The power arms that got them to the World Series finally gave out, too.

For the third straight year there’s satisfaction in the achievement of making a deep October run. They were close to a second title in three years, largely thanks to rookie Michael Wacha, and there’s no reason they can’t keep contending.

The way it ended, it felt as if they’d missed by a mile.

“Unfortunately, the offense during the playoffs, we just didn’t get it going,’’ Carlos Beltran said after the Cardinals went quietly in a 6-1 Game 6 loss Wednesday night. “Our pitching did a good job.’’

The flameout brought back bitter memories from last fall, when the Cardinals had a 3-1 lead over San Francisco in the NLCS and got outscored 20-1 the rest of the way.

The Cardinals did not schedule the usual exit interviews while players cleaned out locker stalls. A team

BOSTON from Page B1 260 wounded. Players wore “Boston Strong’’ logos on their left sleeves and a giant “B Strong’’ logo was mowed into Fenway’s outfield.

“We needed this,’’ said Mark Porcaro of Boston. “They were an easy team to get behind because they stood up for us when we needed them most.’’

An excited Mayor Tom Menino tweeted: “Get the ducks ready, we’re having a parade.’’

He was referring to the duck boat parades the city had had during previous sports celebrations.

Menino and Red Sox officials later announced that the parade would begin at 10 a.m. Saturday at Fenway Park and travel down Boylston Street — where the Marathon attack occurred — before going on to the Charles River. Organizers said they wanted the parade to be held at a time when as many fans, including families with children, could attend.

After the deciding game, police set up barriers to funnel the crowds away from Fenway Park and mounted police and officers on bicycles patrolled the area. Some fans were obviously intoxicated. A few young men climbed a pole holding a traffic light.

A large group gathered near the marathon finish line, chanting and blocking traffic until police arrived.

The Suffolk District Attorney’s office reported that Boston and state police made 10 arrests in the city, mostly for disorderly conduct.

Throughout the night, the Boston police department had tweeted cautionary messages, encouraging fans to “Celebrate with pride’’ and “Celebrate responsibly.’’ Police later thanked the “tens of thousands’’ of Red Sox fans who took their warnings seriously.

There were no reports of serious damage but at least one car was overturned.

Officials at the University of Massachusetts said 15 people — all but one of them students — were arrested after thou-

sands gathered on the Amherst campus to celebrate the Red Sox win.

Most of those arrested were charged with failing to disperse and two also with assault and battery on a police officer. No injuries were reported.

In New Hampshire, celebrations turned destructive at several college campuses. In the largest incident, University of New Hampshire officials say police used pepper spray and pepper balls to break up a crowd of several hundred students that had gathered at the Durham campus. Officials said some of the students threw bottles and cans at officers; five were arrested on disorderly conduct charges.

At Keene State College, police also used pepper spray after students flipped over a vehicle and threw rocks, glass bottles and ice. No one was arrested.

Boston has hosted several celebrations over the last decade as the Celtics, Patriots, Bruins and Red Sox have all won titles since 2004, but some of the post-championship partying has caused problems. In 2004, a 21-year-old college student was killed by a pepper pellet fired by Boston police during crowd-control efforts following the Red Sox win in the American League Championship Series. In 2008, a 22-year-old man died after police took him into custody during street celebrations of the Celtics’ title.

In St. Louis, fans were disappointed that the Cardinals lost.

Ed Moreland watched the game while cleaning offices at a downtown bank building. “We had a good team. We fought for it,’’ he said. “Boston was just a bit stronger.’’

At The Dubliner, an Irish pub near the St. Louis Convention Center, bartender David Fitzgibbons suggested that collective excitement in the city dissipated after a 3-1 loss in Game 5 that left the Cardinals needing a twogame sweep in Boston to prevail.

“I don’t think people’s expectations were that high,’’ he said.

Mike Matheny said. “I told them to hold their head high. They have nothing to be ashamed of.’’

The lineup was off the charts in the regular season, with a .330 average with runners in scoring position that was the best in major league history.

They batted .224 in the World Series and the RISP was a meager .167, and the bottom half of the order vanished with zero RBIs from sixth on down.

David Freese was the NLCS and World Series MVP in 2011, racking up 21 RBI. He had one homer and four RBIs this postseason and batted .158 against the Red Sox. Shortstops Pete Kozma and Daniel Descalso combined for one single.

Jon Jay (.167) and Matt Adams (.136) contributed little. In the four losses to Boston, the Cardinals totaled five runs.

“It’s really hard to think about at this point, because it’s so rare and special to be on this stage,’’ Matheny said. “And you hate to see anything slip away, not that we gave away — they took it.’’

The Series might have slipped out of St. Louis’ grasp in Game 4 at home. The Cardinals might have left Lance Lynn in too long and paid dearly on Jonny Gomes’ tiebreaking 3-run homer in the sixth inning off rookie Seth Maness.

Red Sox have blueprint to build winner in ’14

BY JIMMY GOLEN The Associated Press BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox didn’t just build a World Series champion in 2013.

They also created a blueprint for the team’s next title.

The Red Sox took advantage of last August’s salary purge to add middle-market free agents like Mike Napoli, Jonny Gomes, Shane Victorino and Koji Uehara — all key contributors to the World Series championship. As he looks to this offseason, general manager Ben Cherington will need to replace some big parts of the ‘13 team — including center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury — without making the free agent mistakes of the past.

“To be in this position, given where we’ve come from, reflecting back a year ago at this time, there’s been a lot that’s happened in 13 months,’’ manager John Farrell said after the game.

“Ben Cherington deserves all the credit in the world for what he has done for this roster. To come in and see the energy and the commitment that the (players) had, the buying

into a team concept every single day, and the one thing that really stands out more than anything is just their overall will to win. And that was no more evident than in this entire postseason.’’

The Red Sox were still smarting from their 2011 collapse when they traded Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford, Adrian Gonzalez and more than $250 million in

future salaries to the Los Angeles Dodgers last August. Although the team finished in last place, with the franchise’s worst record in almost half a century, the rebuilding had already begun.

Instead of showering money on the biggest names to replace the high-priced talent that had departed, Cherington opted to take smaller risks on mid-range players.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in that spirit that I recommend â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time of Deathâ&#x20AC;? (9 p.m., Showtime, TV-MA), a six-part documentary series profiling individuals with terminal illnesses as they face their final months, weeks and days.

What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shown not only reveals resilience and strength in the face of mortality, but the ruminations and regrets of people trying to make sense of their actions, accomplishments and mistakes; put their affairs in order for their children; and pass on words of consolation and support to their survivors.
