Trail of broken beers results in teens’ arrests

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com Two teenagers were charged this week with burglarizing a neighbor’s home, after a trail of broken beer bottles reportedly led police to the stolen goods.

Sean Michael Jensen, 19, of 472 Allen Drive, and Brandon Lee Smith, 19, of 3148 Longleaf Drive, are charged with second-degree burglary after their arrest Monday.

At 9:15 p.m., police were called to a home in the 400 block of Allen Drive by a man who came home and found his front door open, apparent-

ly after the home was broken into, and several items missing from inside the home.

Officers who responded to the scene noticed an apparent “trail” of broken bottles of a specific brand of beer in the yard of the victim’s home and across the street in the yard of Jensen’s home.

The police then spoke to a man at the neighboring house who reportedly told them he believed his son, Jensen, may have been involved in the burglary because Jensen had earlier offered him pills from a bottle he believed may have been stolen.

Officers entered Jensen’s home

and were shown the entrance to a crawl space underneath the floor where officers found several items matching those missing from the victim’s home, including pill bottles, three TVs, a computer monitor, amplifier, a car radio and a black stereo. Also reportedly missing from the house was a Crown Royal bag filled with change, a camera and several watches, valued at a total of $2,100.

Both Jensen and Smith were transported to the Sumter Law Enforcement Center for questioning and were later taken to the SumterLee Regional Detention Center.

Sheriff ’s office given lead in 4-county project

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com Sheriff’s deputies in Sumter County will be the lead enforcers of the state’s drinking laws for the Third Judicial Circuit, coordinating efforts to prevent underage drinking in a four-county area.

Sumter County Council approved an inter-agency agreement by resolution Tuesday that will allow the Sheriff’s Office to receive grant funding as the “lead agency for the Alcohol Enforcement Team” in the Third Circuit, which covers Clarendon, Lee, Sumter and Williamsburg counties.

The funding will come through a program of the S.C. Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services (DAODAS) that allows the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office to coordinate the efforts of law enforcement agencies in all four counties to combat underage drinking. Council members questioned Kathy Ward, the general counsel for the Sheriff’s Office, about how the agreement will effect enforcement of drinking laws in the county.

“One of the biggest contributing factors is that people under 21 can go into bars,” said Councilman Eugene Baten. “What would this do to

Ward said the Alcohol Enforcement Team will involve “specifically targeted efforts in certain areas, including bars,” she said. But many establishments do allow in patrons under 21, and officers need evidence of law-breaking before they can move in for an arrest.

“It’s a constant balance,” she said, “You need probable cause to stop and question them, if they’re staggering or putting a bottle to their lips.

But if there’s no visible evidence they’ve been drinking, you can’t detain them.

“The sheriff can’t be their babysitter,” Ward said.

Baten said his concern sprang from his experience as a substitute teacher, when he’s heard students as young as 16 talk about going to the club.

“It’s hard to control when the lights are dim and alcohol’s being served,” he said. A fine or community service might be warranted in those circumstances, Baten said, “because education is not doing it.”

Punishment in cases of underage drinking is usually out of the officer’s hands, Ward said.

“Once we issue a citation or make an arrest, it goes into the criminal justice system,” she said, “the sheriff’s office doesn’t have alcohol counselors on staff.”

Young offenders are often moved into a pre-trial or alcohol diversion program where they’re monitored by random alcohol screenings. Drinkers aged 16 or younger are sent through family court, which has its own ways of handling such cases. Those charged

The sheriff’s resolution wasn’t the only alcohol-related item council considered. Baten also brought up a proposal from the Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce to permit Sunday alcohol sales inside the city of Sumter, and whether it would affect businesses outside the city still prohibited from doing so.

“What are we going to do to address it?” Baten said, “Because you know that’s going to come up from our constituents.”

Baten suggested the county take its own action on the chamber’s proposal, but Councilman Artie Baker wanted to “wait and see where the city goes on it first.”

The remains of Jerry Glenn Helms was located in a cornfield at the corner of Gov. Richard and Fox Tindal roads, said Clarendon County Deputy Coroner Charles Jackson. The body was sent for an autopsy to confirm cause of death.

“There are a number of variables to consider,” Jackson said.

Helms was a missing person out of Richland County. He was a diabetic who had been diagnosed with dementia, Jackson said. His car was found parked on Gov. Richard Road with a broken window, and his wife died almost two weeks ago. She was his primary caregiver, Jackson said, and he thinks Helms might have gotten lost and wondered off into the cornfield.

Exhibits reflect ‘changing notions’ of art REVIEW

JANE G. COLLINS Special to The Item It is not necessary to like a piece of art to understand or appreciate the artist’s vision. Often artists are on the cutting edge of what is new, harbingers of the future, “pushing the envelope� of comfort. The current Sumter County Gallery of Art exhibits reflect a large measure of going beyond one’s comfort zone, especially Christopher Sims’ Dress Rehearsal- The Pretend Villages of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Admittedly, I am tearful and weary from all the current disasters — both political and environmental. Secretly I was hoping for art that would lift my soul, “light up my life� for at least a moment or two. Instead, I found the powerful photographs of “Dress Rehearsal� and a smaller section titled “Hearts and Minds.�

Both exhibits are profound, forcing the viewer to consider the repercussions of warfare and the “war spirit.�

Sims’ Dress Rehearsal is an in-your-face encounter with real live training situations, located primarily in the woods of North Carolina and Louisiana and the desert near Death Valley, and peopled with actors, many of whom are immigrants from the very countries targeted in the training program, immigrants who have found jobs representing what

|

they have just escaped.

Any single photograph offers a stark look at the army’s attempt to acclimatize soldiers to the unfamiliar environment they will face overseas. “Amputees,� with its bloodied board and writhing body, “Casualty,� the soldier propped against a tree, his rifle silent and now useless, “Torso,� the dominant shape and bullet hole propped on the rusty desk, the spent bullet on the floor — these all address the dangerous realities of the missions soldiers will face.

Especially effective is “After Our Prayers� with the men, dressed in white, leaving their house of worship, armed and ready, and “Imam’s Body Guard,� his eyes staring almost defiantly, his weapon perched across his legs. The surroundings are minimal and usually very rustic, but the expressions and impact, like the “Jihad Lamp� make no apologies for the message. Perhaps even more horrifying is the reminder that these are actors hired to train and desensitize, yet they look the part.

Sims’ “Hearts and Minds� focuses on young men attending a virtual army experience, a traveling road show where visitors are encouraged to play combatant video games and often meet actual servicemen who

were deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Sims emphasizes his belief that “the army reveals itself to be a keen reader of the American adolescent’s emotions and passionsâ€?‌ and that the encounter offers “a glimpse into a future some call ‘the long war.’â€?

At first glance Lori Larusso’s Homefront seems a welcome respite from Sims’ work. Reflective of the ‘50s, she offers stylized artwork painted on shaped pieces that suggest “a relative level of

comfort and social appearance.� Think Donna Reed, white picket fence, sleek boxy furniture made of easy care materials and durable fabrics, multipurpose items often influenced by technology from the war years. Think Elvis Presley, Doo Wop, Harry S Truman and the first transcontinental TV service. Think of the polio vaccine, the solar battery and Sputnik, and Alaska and Hawaii becoming states. Think of the change from abstract expressionists Jackson Pol-

lock, Willem deKooning and Mark Rothko to Pop Art, Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.

Her pieces, at second glance, go beyond the seemingly clean, uncluttered surface of things to explore the “unavoidable contradictions ... in our personal and (collective systems of beliefs) ... that often are a reflection of what we wish things were rather than the way we actually experience them.�

Larusso frequently uses food, mostly cakes,

to emphasize the difference between how things look and how they actually are. In “A Neat Mess� there is an obvious contradiction between the metal toaster and the coffee spill. The surfaces of “Unmentionables� are stripped of clutter; the empty upturned clothes basket reveals nothing.

However, it is a work room, and energy is expended, just not momentarily visible.

Perhaps one of the strongest examples of the dual nature of life, “Fried� combines shades of brown and peachy pink, the strikingly white towels trimmed in yellow, and the partially shaped bathtub with the unexpected purple hair dryer dangling in the tub.

Both artists approach serious topics but from obviously different artistic mediums and styles. Both exhibits hint at the unexpected aspects of reality and the often hidden nature of truth. Although Larusso’s work seems more typical in its painted format, Sims’ photographs reflect the changing notions of just what constitutes art.

Dress Rehearsal, The Pretend Villages of Iraq and Afghanisan, and Homefront will remain at the Sumter Gallery of Art, 200 Hasel St., through Jan. 3, 2014. Hours are Tuesday-Saturday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 1:30 to 5 p.m.. For more information call (803) 7750543.

CHARGES:

Christopher Ray Capell, 31, of 930 Quail Hollow Drive, was arrested Wednesday and charged with first-degree burglary. When three people entered a home on the 200 block of Titus Circle at 4:46 a.m., they reportedly found Capell sitting on the couch in the living room. He apparently broke through the glass on a side door to gain entry to the home, and was described as “highly intoxicated.� One man reportedly struck Capell in an attempt to get him out of the residence, but officers found him still sitting on the couch when they arrived.

Andrew Cordell Caesar, 26, of 6260 Vixon Loop, Dalzell, was arrested Monday and charged with first-degree burglary. At 5:33 p.m., a homeowner reportedly found Caesar and a 16-year-old boy inside a house on the 6400 block of Hugh Ryan Road in Dalzell and held them there with an ax until officers arrived.

Quentin Blackmon, 27, of 348 Keystone Drive, was arrested at 10:38 a.m. Saturday and charged with assault and battery. According to reports, Blackmon went to a home on the 10 block of Carrol Drive and got into a verbal argument with two women.

Blackmon reportedly pushed one back from the doorway and began to violently push her against the kitchen counter. When attempted to call the police, Blackmon reportedly started to choke her, and also reportedly grabbed her hair to pull her down.

Joshua Gregory Ogle, 30, of 179 Brentwood Drive, was arrested Tuesday and charged with criminal domestic violence. At 5:03 p.m., the female victim accused him of pulling her down to the ground by her hair, injuring her elbow, and then grabbing her nose with his fingers, scratching her face.

The offense occurred on the 5800 block of Broad Street.

James Christopher Wilson, 27, of 10 Sunhurst Court, was arrested Monday and charged with third-degree assault and battery. At 11 a.m., Wilson reportedly entered a home on the 1400 block of Florence Highway and twice pushed a woman standing between him and his son’s bedroom door, causing cuts to the woman’s ankle and elbow.

Jessie James Rivers, 29, of 2811 Jamestown Road, Camden, was arrested Monday and charged with driving under suspension fourth offense and being a habitual traffic offender. At 3:39 p.m., Rivers was reportedly pulled over on Peach Orchard Road near Edgehill Road for a tinted window violation.

The Clarendon County Sheriff’s Department; Manning, Summerton and Turbeville police departments; and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division drilled for an active shooter situation at Manning Primary School on Tuesday. Manning Sheriff’s Office Captain Sean Briley said that the drill took place because of the various school shootings that have taken place throughout the year. Briley said that tactics have changed a lot since the shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., in 1999, when the typical procedure was to surround and contain the threat. Now the objective for law enforcement teams is to go straight to the threat and eliminate it.

TROT from Page A1 Day. Starting the day with exercise makes the Thanksgiving meal all the more enjoyable.

Thank you to all who came out and supported this event.�

The final number of participants for the Sumter Family YMCA’s 31st annual Turkey Trot 5K was 542, with more than 100 registering Thursday morning. Another 23 participated in the Gobbler Dash, a free race for children ages 4 to 9.

Running or walking this certified 3.1 mile course has become more than just a chance to burn some calories before the big meal. “We love it,� David Peebles said. “Even if we’re not running, we like to watch it.�

It was the third year for him and his 14-year-old son, Ryan Peebles.

The top three finishers in all age divisions received awards along with youngest finisher, first dog and first stroller across the finish line, person that traveled the farthest and the Stan DuBose Award for Oldest Finisher.

Irish setter, Ceara, was the first dog to cross the finish line. “It’s my fourth Turkey Trot and her first,�

Assessing child-abuse reports a complex challenge

BY DAVID CRARY AP National Writer NEW YORK — The calls reporting suspicions of child abuse and neglect come in at a rate of nearly 10,000 a day to hotlines and law-enforcement offices across the country.

They add up to 3.4 million reports per year — a daunting challenge for state child-protection agencies, which must sort out the flimsy or trivial claims from the credible and potentially dire ones and make decisions that balance the rights of parents with the welfare of children.

Many states, after initial screening, deem more than half the reports they receive to be unworthy of further investigation. “In child protection, you are always walking a difficult line,� said Cindy Walcott, deputy commissioner of Vermont’s Department for Children and Families. “Obviously you want to protect children from harm, but you don’t want to intervene in the private life of a family when it’s not indicated,� she said. “Those decisions need to be made carefully, so you’re getting it right as often as possible.�

The issue of childabuse reporting burst into the spotlight last week with news that Arizona’s Child Protective Services failed to look into about 6,000 reports of suspected child maltreatment that had been phoned in to its abuse hotline in recent years. At least 125 cases already have been identified in which children were later alleged to have been abused.

Other states have had problems with their processing of abuse reports. Florida’s Department of Children and Families, for example, overhauled its abuse hotline last year after flaws were discovered with how information was collected and relayed to investigators.

In general, however, advocacy groups and academic experts credit child-protection agencies and their workers with trying their best, under oftenchallenging circumstances. “Child protection

Clarence Carter, director of Arizona’s Child Protective Services, shares on Nov. 21 what Gov. Jan Brewer’s reaction was when he told her that CPS missed investigating 6,000 child-abuse cases during a discussion with the group’s oversight committee in Phoenix. The revelation that the cases were never investigated has cast a disturbing spotlight on a state department in disarray as officials call for investigations and accountability.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

workers are very valuable to our country,� said Jim Hmurovich, president of the Chicago-based advocacy group Prevent Child Abuse America and

former director of Indiana’s Division of Family and Children. “They often have to make determinations with limited information, and they care a lot.�

do Better.

Nationally, the standard practice is to vet all the calls coming in to the hotlines. Yet as that is done, federal data show that about 40 percent are soon “screened out� — judged not to warrant further intervention or investigation. Among the reasons: The alleged maltreatment

might be deemed innocuous, or the caller may fail to provide enough details for the agency to pursue.

Of the 3.4 million reports received for the 2011 fiscal year, about 2 million — or 60 percent — were “screened in� to trigger some degree of state intervention, according to the latest federal figures. Of those cases, 680,000 ended up being substantiated as incidents of neglect and abuse.

Even at that stage, there are options. The child-protection agency may open a formal child-abuse investigation or, in a less drastic step, it may assign social workers to assess a given family’s circumstances and offer counseling, support services or other intervention. Minnesota is at the forefront of a group of states pursuing this strategy, known as “differential response.�

“It is hard work,� said Erin Sullivan Sutton, Minnesota’s assistant commissioner for children and family services. “One of the challenges is being able to distinguish where people are doing horrible things to children and those situations where a mom or dad are trying to be good parents but lack the resources to do so.�

Minnesota screens in only about a third of all the reports received through a statewide network of county and tribal hotlines — well under the national rate of 60 percent. But Sullivan Sutton said voluntary social services are offered to some of the families who figure in the cases that aren’t going to be subjected to a formal abuse investigation. “We care as much about the families who are screened out as those who are screened in,� she said.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Recent editorials from South Carolina newspapers: NOV. 25

The Post and Courier of Charleston on Syria’s spreading carnage: There is a grisly background to the Nov. 12 car bombings of Iran’s embassy in Beirut, Lebanon. That blasts killed 23 people, including an Iranian diplomat, and were aptly denounced as “despicable” by Secretary of State John Kerry.

Iran introduced that indiscriminate weapon, the car bomb, into Lebanon 30 years ago. Apparently in Beirut, what goes around eventually comes around.

Iran’s new defense minister, Brig. Gen. Hossein Dehghan, was the man in charge of the Iranian-backed car and truck bombings in Beirut of the U.S. Embassy in April 1983 and U.S. Marine and French army barracks in October, 1983, killing 375, including 271 Americans.

Gen. Dehghan played a major role in building Iran’s stronghold in Lebanon, the Hezbollah militia.

In 2005, Syria, Iran’s key ally in the area, helped solidify that dominance when it arranged for Hezbollah to set off the massive car bomb in Beirut that killed the anti-Syrian Lebanese Prime Minister, Rafik Harriri.

As former Sen. Joseph Lieberman wrote in a Washington Post guest op-ed Thursday, Iran has long pursued the goal of dominating the Middle East through such terrorist tactics.

So the assault on the Iranian embassy in Beirut could be considered a grim form of poetic justice.

But it was also a dangerous sign that Syria’s civil war is spreading beyond Syria’s borders. While Iran blamed Israel for the bombing, it was in fact carried out by an al-Qaida affiliated group in Lebanon, the Abdullah Azzam Brigades.

That band of killers will continue such attacks until Iran pulls its forces out of Syria where they are helping the government defeat the rebels.

The Aiken Standard on how the pilot program will benefit future generations: A pilot program geared toward giving young offenders a second chance should provide a promising outline for the future.

The initiative, being tested in Aiken County and three other counties in the state,

aims to decrease juvenile crime by preventing youth from being stuck in a path of delinquency.

This program doesn’t appear to be directed at cushioning the blow of the judicial system for violent, repeat offenders. These are youth who have committed criminal offenses such as shoplifting, or status offenses, such as being repeatedly absent from school without permission or running away from home.

As part of the initiative, appropriate intervention and support services for youths are applied to avoid prosecuting a juvenile and reduce the likelihood of a youth further entering the system.

A punishment of some sort is typically rendered — including community service or counseling — and a representative of the program visits an offender in their home or at school at least on a weekly basis.

If it proves successful, this program can prevent at-risk youths from a life of trouble with the judicial system. Closing that pipeline should be a goal of any community.

It may also shed light on how to best break the cycle of habitual offenders — an outcome that would have a positive ripple effect throughout the area.

NOV. 25

The Greenville News on hypocrisy leads to nuclear option: To put into perspective the decision by Democrats last week to change the U.S. Senate’s rules and eliminate the requirement of a super-majority to end debate on most presidential appointments it is instructive to take a look into the not-so-distant past.

The move strips away a minority party’s right to filibuster any presidential appointments except for Supreme Court justices, and is a step toward limiting the Senate’s role as a check on the House of Representatives. This time around, that minority party is the Republican Party. In 2005, it was the Democrats, and current Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his colleagues were using filibuster tactics in much the same way Republicans are now, to block President George W. Bush’s appointments.

Even more vexing, when Republicans broached the idea of changing Senate rules to do away with the filibuster, Reid

| and other Democrats cried foul.

In speaking against the socalled “nuclear option,” Reid in 2005 extolled the virtue of the very filibuster that he led his party to abolish last week. He said then the filibuster “encourages moderation and consensus” and “gives voice to the minority so that cooler heads may prevail.”

Finally, in that speech against the nuclear option, Reid said the filibuster is “a critical tool in keeping the majority in check.”

Reid this week accused Republicans of “unbelievable, unprecedented obstruction.”

Such hyperbole, of course, is not unheard of in Washington.

Democrats also said they were reacting to a Republican campaign to stall the machinery of Congress, according to a New York Times report. Like hyperbole, such stall tactics are familiar to both parties.

Republicans in 2005 lashed out at Democrats’ tactics, and threatened to exercise the nuclear option. In fairness, the GOP’s arguments then were similar to the Democrats’ now.

Yet the GOP stopped short of actually changing the Senate’s rules. Republicans, at least some of them, recognized in 2005 that what goes around comes around, and that when the tables were turned and they were the minority in the Senate that body’s rules would let them block appointments.

The American political landscape has changed; that cannot be ignored. ...

Sen. Reid and many other Democrats said just eight years ago when they were in the minority that the filibuster was a critical tool and should be preserved; even as their Republican colleagues insisted on the sanctity of a 51-vote majority rule. The political posturing that resulted in this flip-flopping of positions based on who is in power is nothing new, but it is a strong argument that the rules of the Senate should not have been changed. The Senate rules should not become an item of debate every time the balance of power shifts.

This editorial page argued in 2005 that presidents deserve an up-or-down vote on their judicial nominees, and that still is true today. However, forcing that up-or-down vote with a unilateral change to the Senate rules does little to engender the sort of bipartisanship that is needed today in Washington.

Airport chaplains help travelers connect with heavens ATLANTA — The Rev. Frank Colladay Jr. stood at the end of the gate waiting. On the arriving plane was a passenger whose husband had just died of a heart attack on another flight. Her name was Linda Gilbert. The two had never met before.

Colladay’s parish happens to be the world’s busiest airport. His flock consists of people passing through who might need comfort, spiritual advice, or someone to pray with.

On this day, a traumatized Gilbert needed even more. Colladay guided her through Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, drove her in his silver Ford Fusion to the medical examiner to see her husband’s body and arranged for a flight home for both of them. “He didn’t say a whole lot. But just his presence being there, it just felt comforting and reassuring,� Gilbert says. “I didn’t know that airports have chaplains.�

Most people don’t.

Airports are mini-cities with their own movie theaters, fire departments

and shopping malls. Many also have chapels, typically tiny non-denominational spaces, in out-of-the-way locations. They offer an escape from constant gate change and security announcements and are staffed by 350 part- and full-time chaplains worldwide — Roman Catholic, Protestant and, to a lesser extent, Jewish, Muslim or Sikh.

The positions are highly sought-after and considered glamorous, with chaplains saying they love the excitement and unpredictability of airports.

The job is unlike other church assignments. There isn’t a permanent congregation. No baptisms, weddings or funerals. Instead, airport chaplains preach to a crowd that is transient by nature.

Trust must be earned quickly.

There’s little time for small talk. Everybody is rushing to catch a flight. “You only get one chance to impress them; one chance to help them,� says Bishop D.D. Hayes, a non-denominational pastor at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. “Many times, we touch lives we never see again.�

There are daily or weekly services but most ministering occurs elsewhere.

“he Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce joins with the City in Celebrating Small Business Saturday�

Chaplains see troops off to war and are on hand when bodies of the fallen return. They comfort fliers visiting sick relatives and those traveling for medical treatment themselves.

They aren’t at airports to proselytize and — surprisingly — very few passengers confess to a fear of flying. Often, they just roam terminals offering a friendly face and occasional directions.

Some walk up to seven miles a day. “When I came into the job, my predecessor said you have to buy good shoes,� says the Rev. Jean-Pierre Dassonville, a Protestant who just retired after 12 years at Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris.

Chaplains need outgoing personalities. They have to recognize the signs that something is wrong and know how to approach strangers.

The Rev. Wina Hordijk, a Protestant minister at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, recently saw a teenage girl sitting by herself, crying. The girl was supposed to travel throughout Europe with her boyfriend, but he dumped her at the start of the trip.

Then there are the more serious situations.

The Rev. Jonathan Baldwin, who is assigned by The Church of England to London’s Gatwick Airport, was once asked by a couple to join them as their son and his new wife returned from their honeymoon. The groom’s sister had committed suicide the day after the wedding. Baldwin obtained a quiet room for them to meet, break the news and cry privately.

Chaplains don’t just support fliers; there are also thousands of airport workers. Employees at ticket counters, security checkpoints and control towers are under extreme stress. They often need to chat with somebody independent from their job.

For those who work Sundays, the airport chapel becomes their de facto church. “You come into a chapel, you know you’re in God’s house,� says Vibert Edwards, who prays daily before starting his shift as a baggage handler at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

The first airport chapel was founded at Boston’s Logan International Airport in 1954. Today there are chapels as far away as Geneva, Istanbul and Bangkok.

PARADE from Page A1 a good viewing spot.

Across the country, millions of Americans celebrated their blessings, gobbled up turkey and pumpkin pie and prepared to kick off the official start to the Christmas shopping season. In Detroit, former Tigers manager Jim Leyland served as grand marshal of the city’s parade, while Philadelphia celebrations were subdued slightly by gusting winds that limited the use of balloons.

In New York City, tens of thousands of people lining the parade route were not disheartened by freezing temperatures or the drama over whether Spider-Man, Julius, Snoopy and SpongeBob SquarePants would make their scheduled appear-

ances along with a dozen other puffed-up skybound creatures.

“We thought they’d find a way to pull it off,” said parade-goer John Mispagel, of San Jose, Calif. “It’s really fun seeing so many people having such a great time.”

Dozens of balloon handlers kept a tight grip on their inflated characters, keeping them close to the ground to fight winds that reached the mid-20 mph range.

Caution was necessary to prevent a recurrence of the kind of high-wind accident that crashed a Cat in the Hat balloon into a light pole in 1997, seriously injuring a spectator.

Balloons were only grounded once in the parade’s history, with bad weather to blame in 1971.

Brice Stadium in Columbia on Saturday, Dec. 7, beginning at 6 p.m.

Boyd, Shaw get chance to add to legacies

BY GENE SAPAKOFF Post and Courier Connor Shaw is 16-0 at Williams-Brice Stadium.

Tajh Boyd with a Chick-fil-A Bowl upset of LSU and a season-opening win over Georgia helped Clemson become the first non-SEC team to defeat top 10 SEC teams in consecutive games.

Something has to give for the senior quarterbacks and their friends Saturday night when No. 6 Clemson plays at No. 10 South Carolina.

Whatever happens, Boyd and Shaw will add to an astonishing historical record of elite quarterbacks on a Braggin’ Rights collision course.

“Two very similar guys from that standpoint in this ballgame,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said this week.

“Two great quarterbacks. Two guys that both programs are going to miss more than people realize.”

Playing for a spot in a state championship football game is old hat for Summerville High School head football coach John McKissick.

McKissick has been the head coach at Summerville for 62 years, won a national record 612 games, 10 state championships and has played for countless other state titles. Seeing this team a game away from the 4A Division I state championship game is special to him.

“I’m happy for these kids to get the MCKISSICK chance to do this,” said the 87-year-old McKissick, whose Green Wave plays host to Sumter today at 7:30 p.m. in a semifinal game. “This is something that’s exciting for them. I’ve been there before, but I’m glad they’re getting this chance.”

McKissick said this Summerville squad is not a great team. However, the third-seeded Wave are 11-2 on the season after beating Boiling Springs 29-28 last week on a 35yard field goal by David Kennedy on the last play of the game.

Clemson defense still lacks national respect

Ga. commissioners approve plan for Braves stadium MARIETTA, Ga. — The Atlanta Braves are a step closer to moving out of downtown Atlanta, the Major League Baseball team’s home for the past 47 years.

The Cobb County Commission in suburban Atlanta voted 4-1 Tuesday night to approve a new $672 million stadium, which officials hope to open for the 2017 season at a site 10 miles northwest of the Georgia capital city’s downtown.

The vote followed public comment for and against the deal, which will require millions of dollars in public funds. The project is set to take the team out of downtown Atlanta for the first time since it moved to Georgia from Milwaukee in 1966.

Commissioners have been holding town hall meetings to gather feedback on the proposal and held an extended public comment period at their meeting Tuesday night. They voted in favor of the deal despite calls by a diverse coalition of citizen groups for more time.

Four of the five commissioners, including commission Chair Tim Lee, said they’d had extensive talks with the Braves and felt they had enough information to believe this would be a positive development.

Commissioner Lisa Cupid was the lone dissenting vote. Cupid said she supports the Braves moving to Cobb County, but thinks the process moved forward too quickly and that she still has some lingering concerns.

BRONCOS HEAD COACH FOX SET TO RETURN MONDAY

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — John Fox is returning to work Monday, less than a month after undergoing open-heart surgery, and he plans to coach the Denver Broncos in their game against the Tennessee Titans on Dec. 8.

What hasn’t been determined is whether Fox will coach from the sideline or the booth. Fox Sports first reported his impending return.

The team issued a statement Thursday saying that “while no formal restrictions will be placed on his workload upon his return, he will continue to be monitored by our medical staff as his well-being remains our No. 1 priority.’’

Team owner Pat Bowlen sent his private jet to Charlotte, N.C., on Wednesday to bring Fox and his wife, Robin, back to Denver. Fox had been recuperating at his offseason home after aortic valve replacement surgery Nov. 4.

(5) OKLAHOMA STATE PURDUE

McCarron thinking win, not Heisman in Iron Bowl

BY JOHN ZENOR The Associated Press TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — AJ McCarron has risen to the occasion on big stages with Southeastern Conference and national titles on the line.

Now, top-ranked Alabama’s quarterback steps onto one with something more personal potentially at stake, too: His Heisman Trophy chances.

McCarron can bolster his case if he leads the Crimson Tide past rival No. 4 Auburn on Saturday and looks good doing it.

The player whose gaudiest numbers are the wins and championships he has collected remains adamant that he’s all about winning games, not statues. But a win would secure him an even grander showcase in the SEC championship game for another BCS title game trip.

McCarron insists the Heisman isn’t on his mind.

“I ain’t worried about that,’’ he said. “If it comes, it comes. If not, I just want us

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron (10) is looking for a win in Saturday’s Iron Bow against Auburn, not a big stats day to improve his Heisman vote count.

to win.’’

Wide receiver Kevin Norwood said he’s never heard his friend and quarterback talk about the Heisman.

Norwood thinks McCarron is worthy, even if his statistics aren’t jump-off-thepage terrific in the Tide’s balanced offense.

“I think he deserves it,’’ Norwood said. “For a quarterback to come in the Ala-

bama system under Nick Saban and go out and do the things he has done, helping this team win two national championships and on the way to probably winning another one ... He has less interceptions than anybody. For him to not get the recognition he needs, it’s ridiculous. But we can’t manage that. That’s up to the media and politics.’’

THE ITEM

GWIN DAVIS / SPECIAL TO THE ITEM

Sumter placekicker Vincent Watkins (32) and the rest of the Gamecocks hope to celebrate another victory tonight in Summerville as the two teams face off for a berth in the 4A Division I state championship game.

SUMTER from Page B1 game’s last play.

The Green Wave are 11-2 and needed a last-play field goal of their own to advance. After beating No. 14 Ashley Ridge in the first round, Summerville topped No. 11 Boiling Springs 29-28 last week.

While this is Kennedy’s first year at Sumter, Summerville is led by coaching legend John McKissick.

The 87-year-old McKissick has been at Summerville for 62 years and has won 612 games, more than any other coach at any level.

“I faced him a couple of times when I was (head coach) at OrangeburgWilkinson,” Kennedy said. “(Former Summerville standout and current Cincinnati Bengal wide receiver) A.J. Green beat us pretty much by himself one of those nights.”

Kennedy hopes his team can get off to a better start against the Wave than it has in the first two playoff games.

The Gamecocks fell behind Mauldin 14-0 before rallying and trailed 21-0 after one quarter against Hillcrest.

“We’ve got to do a better job of being ready to play when we get off the bus,” Kennedy said. “We can’t

keep getting ourselves in a hole.”

After two weeks of facing spread offenses, Sumter will go up against a more balanced offensive attack. Summerville has rushed for 2,529 yards on the season and passed for 2,130 yards.

The Green Wave are on a 6-game winning streak as well. They run out of

the 4-3 on defense. Kennedy thinks the game will be decided in the trenches.

“I think this game will come down to who plays the best on the line on both sides of the ball,” Kennedy said.

Sumter hopes to continue to get strong play out of its special teams.

Along with Watkins’ field goal, the Gamecocks blocked a punt to set up a touchdown against Hillcrest.

Against Mauldin, Sumter returned both a punt and a kickoff for a TD. “Special teams has probably been the difference in the last two games,” Kennedy said.

Sumter has a balanced offense as well, rushing for 2,019 yards and passing for 2,075. Quarterback James Barnes has completed 144 of 276 passes for 2,019 yards and 21 touchdowns against eight interceptions.

His favorite target is Ky’Jon Tyler, who has 65 catches for 1,103 yards and 15 touchdowns. He’s also returned 17 kickoffs for 548 yards and three TDs and six punts for 99 yards.

Xzavion Burson has 38 catches for 432 yards and two scores, Justin Martin has 17 catches for 268 yards and two touchdowns and Marquise Moore had 13 catches for 138 yards and two scores.

Russell Jenkins leads the rushing attack with 634 yards and seven scores. Quintein Anderson has 529 yards and two TDs and Barnes has 318 yards and eight scores.

McKISSICK from Page B1 back Darin Smalls, a University of South Carolina commitment, was lost with an injury. Yet here Summerville is, a win away from another state championship contest.

“This is a group that plays really hard,” McKissick said. “We’ve got a sophomore in his second year as a starter at quarterback. The kids put a lot of pressure on themselves because of the tradition here in Summerville. They give it all they have though.”

The sophomore QB is Sawyer Bridges, who has had an up-anddown season. Bridges has completed just 143 of 312 passes, but they have gone for 2,130 yards and 19 touchdowns against eight interceptions. Sean Smith has the most catches — 43 — for 438 yards and three scores. However, Johnston McCurry had 37 catches for 622 yards and six scores and Donnell Bryan has 26 catches for 439 yards and five TDs. Despite the loss of Anderson, Summerville is still rushing for almost 200 yards a game. There are five players with 248 yards or more rushing. Jacerie Ponder leads the way with 868 yards and nine touchdowns on 156 carries, while Chris Felder has 658 yards and 10 scores on 131 attempts.

McKissick said he is impressed with what he’s seen of 8-5 Sumter on film.

“Since the season started they’ve just gotten better and better,” McKissick said of the Gamecocks.

“They’re probably more balanced than any team that we’ve played. “(Sumter head coach) Reggie (Kennedy) has really done a great job there,” McKissick said. “He’s a great coach and I’ve been knowing him a long time. They’ve got a good coaching staff and a lot of good players.”

The Summerville defense is giving up just short of 300 yards of total offense a game. Opponents have rushed for 1,803 yards and passed for 1,917 yards.

RECRUITING

THE ITEM

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2013

Tigers pick up commitment from Ga. wide receiver official visits set up,” head coach Cortez Allen said.

“He does have a date set with the coach at South Carolina. He’s just taking a break from everything as far as traveling on the weekend and will spend some time with his family and decompress from the season and look ahead to everything that’s coming up.”

The USC visit will be the first of four Green plans to take. The others will be Tennessee, Mississippi and UGA. There have been reports of Green trending more toward UGA now after having been committed to USC, but Allen said he’s given him no such indication.

“Not that we’ve discussed,” Allen said. “That’s what he has on the table.

He’s looking at those four, and those are the ones he’s going to make a decision off of. After he takes his trips he’ll sit down and map out everything from there. As far as a favorite out of the top four, I don’t know that he has one.”

Allen said as Green goes on the visits, he’ll be checking on certain things.

“How does he fit with the guys he meets, the atmosphere of the students on the campus, the surroundings of the city and town each school is in, and can he see himself being there for the next four or five years, just finding out what’s the best fit for him.”

Allen added that his junior DE Arden Key remains open after once being committed to USC. “He’s working on school, getting ready for basketball and dealing with the endof-the-season type things.”

Allen said Green and Key remain very interested in USC despite backing off their pledges, which he said was done only because the pair felt it was best to go through the recruiting process a little bit more.

USC DE commitment Taylor Stallworth made an unofficial visit to Auburn recently and had a great time, but he said that visit did not affect his pledge to the Gamecocks.

“I’m still strongly committed to South Carolina,” Stallworth said. “I’m sticking with my choice.”

On a scale of 10, Stallworth called his USC commitment a “9.” However, Stallworth does plan to take other official visits to Auburn, Mississippi State and FSU. He will take his USC official visit in January, and he will try to get to USC for the Clemson game. Stallworth said Auburn has not offered and he’s not picked up any new offers recently. This season, Stallworth had 60 tackles and six QB sacks.

He will play in the Alabama-Mississippi All Star Game and the OffenseDefense All Star Game.

There will not be a quick decision from running back Derrell Scott of Havelock, N.C., who made his official visit to USC for the Florida weekend.

“Derrell has not made a decision,” said his head coach, Jim Bob Bryant.

“He has not given any indication when he will make decision.”

Scott also made official visits to Tennessee and NCSU. Scott has been USC’s top RB target for this class, and the Gamecocks have been perceived as the leaders throughout the recruiting process. However, Tennessee apparently made a move with Scott as

a result of his official visit there. Havelock is now in the playoffs, and Bryant said they are focusing on the postseason right now.

Scott rushed for over 1,400 yards in the regular season.

Offensive lineman Kareem Are of Fort Scott Junior College in Kansas visited Penn State officially over the weekend. He’s also been to FSU officially and will make his official visit to USC this weekend.

He said his mother talked recently with Gamecock defensive line coach Deke Adams.

“She likes it a lot,” Are said. “She had a great conversation with him, and she was all excited about it. She doesn’t really care about all of this football stuff, but she sounded excited about it.”

Are added that Ole Miss recently offered him and could get a fourth official visit.

He’ll make Phil his deciKORNBLUT sion sometime in December.

Down to four schools, DB DJ Smith of Marietta, Ga., took an unofficial visit to USC for the Florida game. It was enough to convince him to return for an official visit. Smith is down to USC, Clemson, UGA and Tennessee, in no order, and plans to take official visits to each school.

He will visit USC in January, but has not determined which weekend it will be. He has not set the date for any of his other official visits either.

“It was a good visit,” Smith said. “The fans were real loud. I enjoyed the game.The visit helped USC’s (status) with me.”

His final four schools will likely have to wait until National Signing Day in February to find out what that decision will be.

WR Tyshun Samuel of Chapman High School in Inman visited USC on Saturday and the Gamecocks offered the speedster who has been favoring Vanderbilt and UNC. He also has offers from NCSU, Maryland, East Carolina, Charlotte, Old Dominion and Appalachian State. Samuel also was at USC for the Vanderbilt game.

OL Christian Taylor of White Knoll High in Lexington made a couple of recent trips to South Carolina State and is now a Bulldog commitment. “I am 100 percent committed to S.C. State,” Taylor said Taylor chose the Bulldogs over NCSU, Marshall and Coastal Carolina among others. “I’ve got family members that played there,” he said.

“And I feel like their coaches care. The players made me feel welcome and like a part of the family. They have a great head coach (Buddy Pough) and I think he can help me get to the next level.” Taylor will not visit any other schools.

RB Josh Moore of York High committed to Youngstown State. .

Juniors: OL Mason Veal of Charlotte has Clemson, USC and UNC as his early favorites in no order. He planned to be at Clemson Saturday for his second game at Death Valley this season. He took in the UGA game as well.

Veal was at USC for the Florida game.

F

uture Clemson quarterbacks will have another big target to throw to in wide receiver Shadell Bell.

The 6-foot-3-inch, 195-pounder from Decatur, Ga., committed to the Tigers following their big win over The Citadel, becoming the Tigers’ fifth commitment for the 2015 class. Bell also had offers from Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi State, Virginia Tech, Duke, West Virginia and North Carolina State, but he had been favoring Clemson since earlier in the season when he made his first visit.

“They love wideouts and put the ball in their hands down the field,” Bell said. “Their coaches are amazingly cool and great coaches on the field. I’ve always loved Clemson.”

Bell added that the other aspect of the school attracted him as well. “Academic-wise they are great with civil engineering, and that’s what I would like to major in. And the atmosphere is great.”

Bell had said in late October Clemson was his favorite, and he could commit within the next couple of months. He stuck to those plans last Saturday.

For the season, Bell had 41 catches for 537 yards and six touchdowns.

Linebacker Raekwon McMillan of Hinesville, Ga., WR Josh Malone of Gallatin, Tenn., LB Richard Yeargin III of Hollywood, Fla., and defensive end Lorenzo Featherston of Greensboro, N.C., made their official visits to Clemson over the weekend.

McMillan has also taken official visits to Georgia, Ohio State and Alabama. He will visit Florida this weekend. McMillan will be a mid-year enrollee.

This visit was Malone’s last official visit, and he’s announcing on Wednesday. He also made official visits to UGA, Tennessee, Ohio State and Florida State.

Yeargin has been committed to Notre Dame since last August, but Clemson is still a factor with him. “Clemson weighs a lot on me because of the ties I have in South Carolina, but I’m comfortable with where I’m at,” Yeargin recently told the Miami Herald. “I feel (Notre Dame) is a place I can fit in and it’s a place I can do exceptional things, and become someone who is the face of the Notre Dame program,” he said. “My value with them is at the utmost high.

That’s why there is a National Signing Day, and right now, I’m committed to Notre Dame.”

Featherston has also visited Florida and FSU. He’s also considering North Carolina, NCSU and UGA. Also taking official visits to Clemson this weekend were ‘14 commitments QB Deshaun Watson, WR Artavis Scott, LB Chris Register and WR Demarre Kitt. They have all signed their financial aid agreements and will be enrolling in January.

DB Wesley Green of Lithonia, Ga., did not make it in to South Carolina as planned for the Florida game and right now has no plans for coming in for the Clemson game, but he has set his official visit with the Gamecocks for December, according to his head coach.

“Right now he’s concentrating on getting his

hearing from Tennessee among others. His other visits were to UNC and Tennessee, and this past weekend’s trip to Clemson will be his last of the season. He won’t be back to Columbia this weekend because the family is going to Florida for the holiday.

Both of his parents attended USC and his father played for the Gamecocks.

WR JJ Arcega-Whiteside (6-3, 205) of Dorman High in Roebuck finished his season with 75 catches for 1,500 yards and 14 TDs. He has been offered by App State and Elon while Clemson, USC, UNC, ND, Georgia Tech, Duke and ECU are interested. He has been to USC, Clemson, Charlotte and UNC for games. He was at Clemson for the FSU game and USC for the Kentucky game.He planned to visit App State last weekend and he will be at the Clemson-USC game.

Right now, he feels UNC is recruiting him the hardest and thinks it will offer him. His mother is a former star basketball player at App State and he likes the Mountaineers, but does not have a clear favorite. Both of his parents played pro basketball and he, too, is a standout hoopster, but he plans to play football in college.

QB Kevin Johnson of Atlanta, whose father played at USC, holds offers from USC and Boston College. He went up to BC earlier this month and plans to be at USC for the Clemson game. He also visited USC for the Vandy game. While he has a USC offer, Johnson said the Gamecocks wouldn’t take his offer right now.

“They are telling me it’s a numbers, a waiting game,” Johnson said.

“They have a 2014 commit and they will wait until after their season. I’m coming down for junior day and we’ll see what happens. (Defensive coordinator) Coach (Lorenzo) Ward has offered, but (QB) Coach (G.A.) Mangus has to sign off on it.” Johnson is also drawing interest from ND, Miami, Yale, NCSU, WVU and Southern California. This season, he has 24 TDs passing and two running.

Athlete Jeffery Holland (6-3, 232) of Jacksonville, Fla., has 59 offers and counting as he approaches the end of his junior season. USC and Clemson are among those offers.

“I like South Carolina,” he said. “They were one of my first offers. Me and (assistant) Coach (Steve) Spurrier Jr. are pretty cool.

I visited them last summer and one of my former teammates, Ahmad Christian, is there and he says good things. Clemson, I like (head) Coach Dabo (Swinney). He’s a pretty cool guy. I got to meet him. He and my coach are good friends. Two other players from here, Jamie Harper and Daniel Andrews, went there.”

Holland has not yet visited Clemson, but he plans to be at USC on Saturday.

He has been to Florida and Miami this season, and he plans to check out other schools.

“I want to explore around and see what type of environments I like,” Holland said. “I want to see the coaches and how they work with their players and how loyal the players are.”

He said right now Florida and Ohio State are recruiting him very hard. He

does not have favorites or a timetable on a decision.

DE D’Andre Walker (6-3, 210) of Fairburn, Ga., is having a big season with 15 sacks to this point. He plays mostly DE though he can also play outside linebacker. Walker has 39 offers with USC and Clemson among them.

“South Carolina is showing more interest than Clemson right now,” Walker said. “I did see a Clemson coach at one of my games. I don’t know too much about Clemson, but I know South Carolina has good defensive ends and I’ve been thinking about what would happen if I was to go there.”

Walker has not yet visited USC or Clemson. He has been to Auburn, and the Tigers, along with UGA and Louisville, have been showing the strongest interest to this point. Some of his other offers include Alabama, FSU, Florida, Miami, Ohio State, Tennessee and Southern Cal. DB Kaleb Chalmers of Greenwood High has what he calls a “soft offer” from USC, but that didn’t diminish his excitement about being at the Florida game. “It was great,” Chalmers said. “It was a good visit overall. I had a good talk with Coach Mangus. I enjoyed the visit overall. I watched the secondary and they played pretty good overall. It was a great atmosphere.”

That was Chalmers’ second game visit to USC this season. He was also in for Vandy and plans to be back for the Clemson game. As for USC’s interest, Chalmers said, “It’s a soft offer. They have offered me, but it’s a soft offer.”

Chalmers also has offers from Clemson, Tennessee, GT, Duke, Stanford, UNC and Georgia Southern. He does not have a favorite at this point and there is no order with the schools right now.

Tight end Jackson Harris of Columbia, Tenn., does not have any favorites, but did say, “I really like Clemson. They’re really high on my list.” Harris visited Clemson last month on an overnight trip and was extremely impressed with what he saw.

“I got a chance to get down there a day early so I got to see a lot of the school,” he said. “I really love the campus and the coaches. I like Dabo a lot.

Plus, it’s a good engineer-

ing school and that’s what I want to study.”

With offers from Clemson, GT, FSU, UGA, Mississippi State, Vandy and UK, Harris wants to look at as many schools as he can.

He has visited Ohio State, FSU, Vandy and Tennessee and planned to be at UGA this past weekend.

He’s going back to Tennessee this weekend. He did not name a leader.

A trip to USC last summer impressed DB Rico McGraw (6-0, 195) of Nashville, Tenn., and has the Tennessee product interested in the Gamecocks. McGraw connected with DB coach Grady Brown while on the visit. “I liked South Carolina a lot,” McGraw said. “They showed me what I wanted to see.”

His offers include USC, Clemson, Alabama, Ole Miss, Tennessee, FSU, Vandy, Ohio State and Louisiana State among others. He plans to visit Clemson in the future, but is less familiar with the Tigers. His only other visit was to Alabama when the Crimson Tide hosted LSU. McGraw does not have any favorites.

WR Dominique Lemon of Blythewood High has garnered a lot of attention from Towson and has reciprocated the interest. He’s also been hearing from UGA and GT and has visited Charlotte and NCSU. Other schools showing interest include Clemson, Auburn and Virginia Tech. Lemon did not name a leader.

RB Isaiah Hill of Byrnes High in Duncan has heard from USC and UNC and has visited both.

Clemson is another visit he wants to take. This season, Hill has over 1,200 allpurpose yards and 15 TDs. Basketball News: The Clemson women signed their six early commitments: 6-2 Ivy Atkism of Monroe, Ga., 5-7 Alexis Carter of Tigard, Ore., 6-0 Shelbie Davenport of Murfreesboro, Tenn., 6-3 Makayla Johnson of Dreher High in Columbia, 5-11 Daneesha Provo of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and 6-4 Justice Wright of Warner Robins, Ga. Bianca Cuevas, a 5-6 player from Bronx, N.Y., signed with USC last week, completing head coach Dawn Staley’s class for ‘14.

She joins Doniyah Cliney, Kaydra Duckett and Jatarie White as the signees.

Shaw came off the bench, played hurt and completed 20 of 29 passes for three touchdowns while leading the Gamecocks to a 27-24 doubleovertime victory at Missouri on Oct. 26.

When it was over, defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles said he wouldn’t trade Shaw for a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “I love that man to death,� Quarles said.

Boyd threw for 346 yards and two touchdowns while rallying Clemson to a 25-24 victory over LSU in the Chick-fil-A Bowl last New Year’s Eve. “Tajh Boyd was phenomenal,� LSU head coach Les Miles said. “I did not

STEPPING OUT

Connor Shaw isn’t one for boasting or trash-talking, but he did sport a “Beast Mode� T-shirt immediately following the Gamecocks’ 34-13 vic-

DEFENSE from Page B1 Clemson has zero wins against the current top 25. “We’re splitting hairs here; it’s sad we have to put down a team who’s having such a great year.�

It’s true, by any standard, Clemson (10-1) is having a great year. But this remark was added to Herbstreit’s assessment. “I love Clemson’s offense,� Herbstreit said. “I still have questions about their defense in a big game.�

An interesting statement.

While it’s Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris who won the AFCA National Assistant Coach of the Year award, it could be argued he hasn’t even had the finest performance among the coordinators on his own team.

Second-year defensive coordinator Brent Venables has transformed his unit quickly. Now the No. 27 total defense in the country, Clemson was No. 64 last year and 71st the year before (in an ACC championship year.)

tory over Clemson in 2011. Shaw said he got it from South Carolina strength coach Craig Fitzgerald.

Boyd generally is more expressive, but went above and beyond at the ACC Football Kickoff last August.

When asked if he listened to country music, he sang a few lines of Eric Church’s “Springsteen.� Later, as part of an ACC promotion, Boyd donned a gaudy crown and repeated the performance.

Forever offense-minded, Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney hasn’t been able to suppress a smile all season long when asked about the development of his defense.

But the facts do remain, to relative outsiders like Herbstreit who haven’t intently watched every moment of every Clemson game. The Tigers have played two games in the limelight in 2013.

Georgia scored 35 points and gained 545 yards in the Tigers’ 38-35 win. Florida State scored 51 points on 565 yards in throttling Clemson 51-14. “We’re always going to have a hard edge and play with great effort,� junior defensive tackle Grady Jarrett said, “but things just might not go our way certain times.�

That’s an average of 43 points and 555 yards gashed in two marquee matchups. Even the two Thursday night games — N.C. State had 378 yards and Georgia Tech had 440 yards — were not Clemson’s finest efforts of the year, whereas games against Wake Forest, Boston College, Maryland and Virginia were noticed more locally.

OXENDINE from Page B1 Bulldog. The Cocoa Beach, Fla., was recruited as a tight end and played two seasons at the position before stepping into a needed role on the offensive line. He started on the offensive line in each of his final 23 games and completed his career with 34 starts through 44 games.

Robinson had a breakout season in 2013, accumulating a team-leading 92 tackles through 11 games, before a knee injury forced the junior linebacker to miss the final contest of the season against Clemson.

TV is alive with the sound of musical specials

BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH A Barbara, a Barbra, a Garth and a cornucopia of Christmas specials are among the highlights of this lazy, overstuffed post-Thanksgiving evening.

• “Garth Brooks, Live From Las Vegas” (9 p.m., CBS, TV-PG) captures the popular country singer on the last night of his three-year exclusive run at a Sin City casino.

His live show will recall his many musical influences by featuring Brooks’ interpretation of songs from a broad range of inspirations, from Merle Haggard to Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, Otis Redding, Bob Seger and George Strait.

The most dominant country star of the 1990s, Brooks has sold more than 128 million albums.

He’s received every conceivable accolade and has retired and then unretired before embarking on the casino engagement that ends tonight.

• While Brooks returns to his musical roots, Barbra Streisand goes “Back to Brooklyn” on a “Great Performances” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) special. While performing in her native borough, she’ll reprise many of her fans’ favorites, including “Evergreen,” “The Way We Were,” “People,” and “Happy Days are Here Again,” as well as some surprises over the course of this two-and-a-halfhour concert film. She will accompany musical guests Il Volo and Chris Botti, as well as her son, Jason Gould.

• President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will sit down with Barbara Walters for a “20/20” (10

p.m., ABC) holiday special that will include clips from Walters’ many interviews with presidents and first ladies dating back to President Richard Nixon and first lady Patricia Nixon.

• Nickelodeon stars Ciara Bravo (“Big Time Rush”) and Jack Griffo (“The Thundermans”) join forces to appear in the original made-fortelevision comedy movie “Jinxed” (7 p.m., Nickelodeon). Inspired by Murphy’s Law, this teen romantic comedy explores a world where everything that can go wrong does, in the most extreme and embarrassing manner imaginable.

• Former teen star Lacey Chabert (“Party of Five”) headlines the made-for-TV thriller “Non-Stop” (8 p.m., Lifetime Movie Network).

She plays an overscheduled best-selling author on her way home from an intercontinental book tour. A sleeping pill loosens her up for a friendly encounter with a fellow passenger, but when she wakes up, her luggage, passport and identification are gone, as well as the computer containing the final chapter of her controversial new book. Did somebody just want a sneak peak?

Or does this mystery portend doom for her flight and everyone on board?

• Nat Geo Wild kicks off a week of big cat programming with “Man v.

Cheetah” (9 p.m.), a foot race of sorts between a cheetah, Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson and Chicago Bears wide receiver Devin Hester.

• “Wives with Knives” (10 p.m., ID, TV-14) has nothing to do with carving turkeys.

Host Dr. Casey Jordan, a

criminologist, interviews incarcerated women who cut up their spouses for different reasons — some motivated by greed, jealousy and lust, others fighting back after years of abuse.

Cult Choice Tipsy swells (Cary Grant and Constance Bennett) return from the grave to teach a stuffed shirt (Roland Young) how to live it up in the 1937 comedy “Topper” (2:30 a.m., TCM).

Tonight’s Holiday Highlights • Boris Karloff narrates “Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (8 p.m., ABC).

• Time travel looms large in “Hoops & Yoyo Ruin Christmas” (8 p.m., CBS).

• A child needs to affirm Santa’s existence in “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” (8 p.m., CW).

• An elf restores a boy’s belief in the holidays on “The Elf on the

Shelf: An Elf’s Story” (8:30 CBS).

• The green gang convenes for “Shrek the Halls” (8:30 p.m., ABC).

• A motivated mall Santa restores a jaded mother’s Christmas spirit in the 2013 TV movie “My Santa” (9 p.m., ION).

Tonight’s Other Highlights • Bosses solicit new ideas on “Raising Hope” (9 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

• An ancient Spanish legend resurfaces on “Grimm” (9 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

• Nikita rejoins Michael and Ryan on “Nikita” (9 p.m., CW, TV-14).

• Gen. Shaw lets Harker down on “Dracula” (10 p.m., NBC, TV-14).

Series Notes An awkward walk down the aisle on “Bones” (8 p.m., Fox, r,

TV-14) * A Christmas business proposal gets the once-over on “Shark Tank” (9 p.m., ABC, r).

Late Night Mark Halperin, John Heilemann, Dan Levy, Claire Titelman and Brad Wollack appear on “Chelsea Lately” (11 p.m., E!) * Kelly Ripa, Cobie Smulders and Gary Clark Jr. appear on “Late Show With David Letterman” (11:35 p.m., CBS) * Tracy Morgan, Chris Pratt and Pusha T are on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” (11:35 p.m., ABC, r) * Harrison Ford, Padma Lakshmi and Big Sean featuring Kid Cudi visit “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” (12:35 a.m., NBC) * Craig Ferguson hosts Kat Dennings and Markus Persson on “The Late Late Show” (12:35 a.m., CBS). © 2013, United Feature Syndicate
