Festival’s parade is back on downtown Bishopville street BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Main Street in Bishopville was lined with spectators as the Cotton Festival Parade returned to Main Street for the first time in several years.

Holocaust survivors’ son speaks to eighth-graders BY RAYTEVIA EVANS ray@theitem.com Growing up, Henry Miller never heard his parents talk about terrible nightmares, and he never woke up in the middle of the night to their bloodcurdling screams, even though they had survived one of the worst tragedies in history. But Miller knows his parents — survivors of the Holocaust — did everything they could once they moved to the U.S. to move forward, regain their freedom and provide for their children. “My parents suffered years of slavery but still considered themselves forMATT WALSH / THE SUMTER ITEM Henry Miller talks to a Mayewood tunate because they survived,” Miller said to a group of more than 40 eighthMiddle School eighth-grade class grade students at Mayewood Middle about the Holocaust on Friday.

Sumter Digital Camera Club members look at professional photographer Bart Baldwin’s photographs during Wednesday’s meeting in Dalzell. The club is free and tries to meet monthly for outings and more.

Learning the lens Members say camera club beneficial to novices, experts alike JADE REYNOLDS jade@theitem.com So you got a fancy, digital camera. Now what? Option one, you can try to learn about it all on your own through research and experimentation. Or, you could join the Sumter Digital Camera Club like Joy Potts did. “I got a DSLR camera about a year or so ago, and I just started searching,” she said. “I’ve learned so much in the last few months.” Started by Chris Moore in 2005 for a group of his photography students, the club has taken on several formats and leaders. This summer, it was revamped again and is now led by Pete Lawrence. Currently, the club is free and tries to meet at least once a month. “We try to plan outings and learning sessions,” Lawrence said. “We have various degrees of professionals with their own studios to hobbyists and enthusiasts. Some of us have been shooting quite awhile and have some skills, and some are just starting out and looking for information. We run the whole gamut.” For example, this month they had a Columbia photographer come in and give a presentation on learning to see as the camera sees. Members get together outside of the club as well. Recently, Potts said fellow member Nancy Byer called her up and invited her on a boat ride. “It was fun making friends with the same interest as you,” Potts said. Byer and her husband, Jeff Byer, joined the club about a year ago. “I’ve taken pictures since I was 10 or 11,” she said. “I took a lot of pictures of the kids when they were little. I love getting out and taking photos. I love traveling.” She hopes the group will grow and become more active, Byer said. John Shreve has also been with the club about a year. “It’s always nice to be in the company of good folks who have the same interest,” he said. “When they say ‘I like that shot,’ it means more than when a friend or family does

Mary Bullard and Heather Brockington look at a medium format digital camera at the Sumter Digital Camera Club meeting on Wednesday night. who’s not really into it (photography).” Others, such as Kevin Travis, have been involved for a long time. “I started out about 2009 or 2010,” he said. “I came back a couple of months ago.” He’d like to see more participate, too. “Everybody has a camera these days from a DSLR to an iPhone,” Travis said. In January, he’ll give a presentation on lighting. Some, such as Alyce Bender, are newer to the club. “I became involved in it summer this year,” she said. “I just asked a member through Facebook.” Each week, usually two or three people ask Lawrence about joining the club, he said. “I send them a PM (private message) and ask them why they want to join it,” Lawrence said. “If they say, ‘Because I want to learn and network,’ then by all means, we want you.” Only club members can display their work on the group’s Facebook page, and only other members can comment, he said. While about 100 names grace the membership list, maybe 77 will “view” a posted photo, Lawrence said, and an additional six will like it.

But only one will comment. “If you look at the page, only 30 are actively posting and contributing,” he said. “That kind of gets me. How do you have 100 people, and only 30 are active?” Lawrence and Bender both encourage honest, constructive critiques. “There is always room for improvement,” he said. “There is always room for growth. You like it. Why do you like it? If you don’t like it, why? You can say, ‘Pete, your water is looking a little blue there.’” “White balance always catches my eye,” Bender said. Normally a core group of about 20 attend meetings and participate in outings, Lawrence said, so he, too, would like to gain more active participants. Bender is heading up a plan for an overnight beach trip to Edisto Island and Botany Bay for the club next month, but she said they also do shorter, more local outings such as to Swan Lake-Iris Gardens on occasion. “Second Mill Pond is really calm and peaceful, though that’s more of a paddleabout than a walkabout,” she said.

If you’re interested in graduate programs, don’t miss clinic BY RAYTEVIA EVANS ray@theitem.com Morris College will host its 33rd Annual Graduate and Professional Schools Information Clinic from 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday. The event, which is organized to bring in more than 20 different schools, will be held in the lobby of W.H. Neal-Iola Jones Fine Arts Center and is open for all students and the public. “The primary objective of the information clinic is to expose our students to different graduate and professional programs,” said Gloria

Seabrook-Wright, director of career planning, cooperative education and placement for career services. “The public is also invited because we will have local schools who are also a part of the community at the clinic.” Seabrook-Wright said college representatives will be available to provide students and the community with more information about graduate studies and answer any questions they may have. Morris’ career services department has been preparing students who may have interest in furthering

their education after their undergraduate studies for the event. According to Seabrook-Wright, many of the schools that will be represented at Tuesday’s event were targeted because some students showed interest in the schools or one or more of the schools’ programs. “We’ve been preparing Morris students by asking them to come professionally dressed and making sure they’re ready for interview opportunities,” Seabrook-Wright said. “Delois Woodward with our Career Services Center has been working with

them on résumés, interviewing techniques and networking.” Woodward, the cooperative education coordinator with the Career Services Center, also works with students on preparing for different career opportunities in the workforce after graduation. Schools participating on Tuesday include Troy University, St. Thomas University’s School of Medicine, West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, East Tennessee State University, Clark Atlanta University, Erskine Seminary, Columbia International University and others.

PARADE FROM PAGE A1 teenagers, in the past two weeks. Lee County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Jina Williams said the festival was going well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a great night last night (for the street dance),â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were no incidents.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people have been very welcoming. It seems a good time to have something positive,â&#x20AC;? she said. Williams said a lot of people in Bishopville had been asking to have the parade return downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I came on as executive director in January, the first thing out of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouths was, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When will the cotton festival return downtown?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Everybody wanted it downtown.â&#x20AC;?

Spectators seemed to enjoy the parade and said having it was a good thing, but many thought there should be more activities or a carnival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all right,â&#x20AC;? said Amy Lucas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than not having it at all.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they should have more rides,â&#x20AC;? said Natisha McDaniels. Williams said moving the festival downtown hampered their efforts to arrange some events. Next year, she said she hopes to have more agriculture tie-ins, as agriculture is what the festival is meant to celebrate. She said the chamber is currently working on having a Christmas festival parade downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had a Christmas festival but no parade. We would like to have it on a Friday or Saturday and have it lit up,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Items from Attica riot reminders of violence, killings through the overcrowded maximum-security prison in rural western New York. The siege ended Sept. 13 when state troopers and guards stormed the prison and fired hundreds of rounds into a prison yard, striking both staff and inmates. After the New York State Museum catalogued the items with an eye toward displaying some of them, correction officials used last month’s ceremony marking the anniversary of the riot to privately offer 66 items to 12 state employees or their survivors. Plans are being made to also return inmate items. The hostages’ belongings were placed in oak boxes with brass name plates. Items not linked to a specific person, including thermoses, car keys, locker keys and a wallet, were displayed in hopes families would claim them. Vickie Menz said her prison guard father, Arthur Smith, who died in 1995, didn’t talk much about his experience as a hostage. He told his story to his family only one time, describing how inmates took him captive, beat him, threw him in a ditch with others and threatened to douse them with gasoline and set them on fire. His story came to life for Menz through the box containing his navy blue uniform pants, caked with mud and still

BY CAROLYN THOMPSON The Associated Press AUBURN, N.Y. — After 43 years, Raymond Bogart finally got his prison guard cap back and with it a flood of memories of being held hostage in the notorious Attica prison uprising. The navy blue cap, stained and brimless, still had a scrap of paper in the liner with Bogart’s handwritten name on it. “I’m surprised that much survived because the riot was so bad ... so bad,” said the 78-year-old Bogart, who was beaten beyond recognition by a crowd of inmates as the uprising unfolded during five days in 1971. The Auburn retiree is among a dozen state employees or their survivors who were recently offered belongings collected after the riot that left 11 staff members and 32 inmates dead. In all, more than 2,000 pieces of clothing, badges, eyeglasses, letters and weapons were plucked from the mud and blood at Attica and held as evidence in investigations and lawsuits through the decades. Still in the condition in which they were found, in some cases stained with blood and smelling faintly of tear gas, they are physical reminders of the violence and fear that began Sept. 9, 1971, and spilled

smelling of tear gas, and a torn, blood-stained shirt with some of its buttons ripped off. “It’s back to the fear and terror of those five days,” she said. Dee Quinn Miller, the daughter of correction officer William Quinn, who died two days after being injured in the riot, did not receive any effects but worked with the state for two years to help with the return of belongings to other families. Learning of their existence was difficult, and seeing them for the first time left her shaken, she said. “To pick up a shirt and know that this individual was shot in the back, and there’s the bullet hole and the blood and the

Teens go from Facebook to ‘the pit of hell’ point among many Muslims. Nora was 15 when she departed for school on Jan. 23 and never came back. The next day, Foad, her older brother, learned that she had been veiling herself on her way to school, that she had a second phone number, that she had a second Facebook account targeted by recruiters. “As soon as I saw this second Facebook account, I said, ‘She’s gone to Syria,’” Foad says. The family found out through the judicial investigation about the blur of travel that took her there. First she rode on a highspeed train to Paris. Then she flew to Istanbul and a Turkish border town on a ticket booked by a French travel agency, no questions asked. A young mother paid for everything, gave her a place to stay overnight in Paris and promised to travel with her the next day, according to police documents. She never did. Nora’s destination was ultimately a “foreigners’ brigade” for the Nusra Front, an al-Qaida branch in Syria, Foad says. The idea apparently was to marry her off. But she objected, and one of the emirs intervened on her behalf. For now at least, she remains single, babysitting children of jihadis. She has said she wants to come home — and Foad traveled to Syria but was not allowed to leave with her. “As soon as they manage to snare a girl, they do everything they can to keep her,” Foad says. “Girls aren’t there for combat, just for marriage and children. A reproduction machine.” Two people have been charged in Nora’s case, including the young mother. “It is not at random that these girls are leaving. They are being guided. She was being commanded by remote control,” says family lawyer Guy Guenoun. “And now she has made a trip to the pit of hell.”

FROM PAGE A1 reading literature such as The Diary of Anne Frank and Prisoner B-3087. Telling the story of his parents’ survival through being captured and sent to concentration camps and working as slaves with little food and water, Miller gave the students a closer look at a tragic part of world history that took the lives of more than 6 million Jewish people. He explained their struggles and their journey, which also included them eventually moving to Columbia. Miller emphasized to the students that his life was very similar to theirs — attending public schools and going off to college to get a good education. And although his life “isn’t greatly different from your lives, my parents’ lives certainly were different.” When Germany invaded Poland 69 years ago, Miller’s father was 18, and his mother was about 14 years old, and the intentions of the Nazis, he explained to the students, were

to let people die slowly — often making them go long periods without eating. After his presentation, Miller took questions from Mayewood’s students and some of the staff — explaining how his parents along with others of the Jewish faith were practically stripped of their identities when they were transported to concentration camps. He described their clothing, the treatment they endured, his father’s escape from the Warsaw ghetto and then from Auschwitz and how they lived their lives after losing many of their family members and friends. “My parents were one of four couples who came to South Carolina. The Holocaust survivors’ families became a family because they were similar,” Miller said. “My father said he didn’t talk about it because he thought nobody would’ve believed it, and I think they both had some guilt for surviving, so they kind of closed up their emotions. They never talked about it as much when I was growing up, and they wanted to move on. My father wanted his independence and freedom back.” Although his parents didn’t show

signs of being affected, Miller said he knew his household was different because of it. He said he and his sister were persistently encouraged to eat a lot of food because food and sustenance were important to them, and they were also very protective of them. Miller said his parents started giving speeches and presentations at colleges and universities in South Carolina because they felt it was important to tell the story for all those who were lost, and it was also therapy for their own souls. Miller recalled his father showed his numbered ID on his arm with pride whenever he had the opportunity to share his story with someone new. Miller ended his talk with two poignant quotes from Edmund Burke and Martin Niemoller, encouraging the students to speak up and do something when they see something that is wrong. “One mad man. That’s all it takes, a man like Hitler, and millions of people died, not just Jewish, all because of one man,” Miller said. “None of us are perfect, but when you see something that is wrong, speak up and try to do the right thing.”

‘All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.’

ementary. North Lafayette runs near Crosswell Drive Elementary and Crosswell Drive Park. It doesn’t just benefit the younger students of Sumter, as North Guignard’s sidewalks will help a student body traveling to USC Sumter and Central Carolina Technical College, and North Lafayette runs near of Morris College. “Growing up I rode my bike to school. You don’t realize until you look at it that some schools don’t have sidewalks to provide a safe avenue to get to and from school, but we’re working toward it,” Merchant said. Fellow city council member Ione Dwyer of Ward 2 has long been a vocal advocate for sidewalks in the

city and welcomes the potential changes. “Neighborhoods should have sidewalks. It is of the utmost importance that it be done for the safety of our children,” Dwyer said. “The whole community would benefit from it.” Dwyer also noted the value that has come from the sidewalks along Wilson Hall Road. The project to bring sidewalks to that and a number of other areas came under the current penny tax, which is soon set to expire. Another new penny project aiming to add to safer streets is one that would use $3 million to bring improvements to downtown intersections. The project focuses on the

historic business district and includes better crosswalks and lighting for public safety, new mast-arm stoplights to replace lights hanging from wire and better ease of use of the areas by those with disabilities. Streets and sidewalks will also be improved, and plans are in place to bury the utilities to help protect them from inclement weather. Areas of focus would be the intersection of Hampton Avenue and Washington Street as well as West Liberty Street and Washington Street. “I’ve voiced my sentiment, and I’ve worked with the city to try to get things done,” Dwyer added. “I’m sure that the penny tax will help with that. We need safer streets.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LET’S PUT COLLEEN YATES BACK IN THE TRENCHES AGAIN With Councilman Charlie Burns moving into another district, three good candidates have filed to fill his seat, and the seat will be voted upon in the election next month. If you are a registered elector in Ward 4, you should show up at the polls. In the early ’70s a new candidate appeared on the ballot for a council seat with the slogan “Go Clean with Colleen.” She had an agenda, and immediately upon being sworn in began to seek support of other council members to strengthen and enforce building codes to eliminate dilapidated housing and create better living conditions. Her Hampton Park neighborhood was a start, but the effort spread all over. She had a particular interest in preserving historic buildings and proposed to council the creation of a historic district comprising the whole downtown area. Help from Sumter High School was obtained, with a class assigned to inventory properties to be listed in an application for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1973, the application was approved, the district was created, and to this day, to meet the standards, plans for any new structures or changes to existing buildings within the area require approval by a design review committee. The closing of the Sumter Little Theatre in 1982 brought another challenge. What should be done with the Opera House? Acting on a suggestion from Mrs. Yates, council retained architects, engineers and planners to study the building in hopes that it could be renovated to accommodate city offices. Plans were developed and with the support of the county, the Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce, The Sumter Item and the public in general, contracts were awarded and construction began in 1985. I am proud to have been involved in this process, proud of the finished product back in the ’80s, proud to have occupied an office in the restored building and am especially proud of the continuing improvements being made in the downtown area by the current administration. Colleen Yates has been good for Sumter. We see what she has done. We are confident in her abilities. Let’s put her in the trenches again.

BE SURE TO SHOW UP AT THE POLLS TO TELL SCHOOL BOARD WHAT YOU THINK Sumter Teacher Forum hosted a “Meet the Candidates” session last night at Sumter High School. As an interested parent and voter, I was extremely interested in listening to

our school board candidates as they presented their views and campaign platforms. I was surprised to hear Keith Schultz proclaim “Mr. Bynum left on my watch” during his pitch. Mr. Schultz — what you neglected to remember was that Mr. Bynum was hired on your watch. Your board also voted to extend Bynum’s contract barely a year into his tenure while a major controversy was brewing regarding his leadership, teacher evaluations and step increases. Mr. Bynum and his cabinet began bullying our teachers and inflicting harm on our schools almost immediately upon their arrival. Parents, community members, students and teachers organized a grass roots effort well before the school board recognized this and began challenging the board. Public outrage with Bynum’s tyranny was initially met with board resistance and gaveling of speakers. Unfazed, our community rallied with letters to The Sumter Item and record attendance at school board meetings, eventually forcing board opinion and Mr. Bynum to resign. Now is the time for change, and we as a community must hold the Sumter School Board accountable for their actions. We have promising new candidates from all areas where elections are being held this year. I urge everyone to go to the polls and tell the incumbents what you think by voting them out! BRYAN J. FUNKE, M.D. Sumter

BEST RECEIVED WARM RECEPTION FROM SUMTER COMMUNITY I would like to thank The Sumter Item for the great coverage on James Best at the car show and Sumter Opera House. I would also like to thank the City of Sumter, Deron McCormick, Mayor McElveen, Sen. Thomas McElveen for the state certificate, city council, Robert Galiano for presentation of the key to the city, Chief Russell Roark, Mark Thompson from MKT entertainment, Rich Adams from Outback Steakhouse, The Marriott Hotel, Sheriff Anthony Dennis and his staff for honoring Mr. Best as an honorary deputy and the other businesses that assisted with this program. My wife and I were able to spend Saturday evening with him and Dorothy. He was recognized at Outback Steakhouse and gladly had photos taken with fans. Mr. Best along with his wife, Dorothy, were very happy with the warm reception they received from the community. A special thanks to Seth Reimer who not only arranged this show, but also has been bringing great entertainment to Sumter since he has been here and has a lot lined up for the coming year. Please check the Opera House website for those events. You don’t have to drive to Columbia or Florence for a good time. Make your dinner plans here in Sumter, and enjoy the great shows. CARL SMITH Sumter

ASHINGTON — Come Tuesday, the national pastime will be the subject of oral arguments in a portentous Supreme Court case. This pastime is not baseball but rent seeking — the unseemly yet uninhibited scramble of private interests to bend government power for their benefit. If the court directs a judicial scowl at North Carolina’s State Board of Dental Examiners, the court will thereby advance a basic liberty — the right of Americans to earn a living without unreasonable government interference. The board, whose members are elected by licensed dentists and dental hygienists, regulates the practice of dentistry in North Carolina. To the surprise of no one acGeorge quainted Will with human nature, the board wields its power for the benefit of fellow members of the cartel of licensed dental practitioners. Writing in Regulation, the Cato Institute’s quarterly, Timothy Sandefur of the Pacific Legal Foundation says the board protects the economic interests of those who elect it, by pretending to protect North Carolinians from the supposed danger of unlicensed people participating in the business of “teeth whitening.” In this simple procedure, a peroxide-treated plastic strip is placed on teeth for a few minutes, brightening them. Responding to complaints from licensed dentists seeking to monopolize teeth whitening, the board has issued at least 47 cease and desist orders to small-business owners who do whitening in stores and shopping malls. The board also asked the state’s Board of Cosmetic Art Examiners to forbid licensed cosmetologists (why are they licensed? So licenseholders can profit by restricting entry into the cartel) from offering teeth whitening services. When the Federal Trade Commission initiated an action against the dental board’s behavior, the board said it could not be found in violation of federal antitrust laws because it enjoys “Parker immunity.” The 1943 Parker case concerned a California law that is still operative. It empowers a majority of raisin growers, exercising, in effect, government power through a state board akin to North Carolina’s dental board, to decide how many raisins can be produced and what prices may be charged. The Supreme Court acknowledged that the purpose of California’s law was “to restrict competition.” It held, however, that the concept of state sovereignty means that private interests acting in collaboration with a state government cannot be prosecuted for behavior that would violate anti-monopoly laws if engaged by private

parties acting in concert without government involvement. It was, Sandefur says, “an extreme innovation in both antitrust law and federalism jurisprudence” to exempt from federal law “cartels protected by the shield of state law. ... In virtually no other context can states exempt their citizens from the operation of federal statutes.” This exemption’s predictable result has been intensified rent seeking — private interests protected by compliant governments. Parker immunity supposedly requires state governments to give “active supervision” to private factions enjoying government arrangements that restrict competition. In practice, this requirement is toothless. North Carolina’s dental board says it should be presumed to act in the public interest. When such government cooperation with rent seekers is challenged, courts usually respond with the judicial shrug known as the “rational basis” test: They defer to any government regulation if they can discern or even imagine a rational basis for it, even if it patently enriches a faction by abridging the rights of other persons or the general public. James Madison’s Constitution contains the Supremacy Clause (federal law “shall be the supreme law of the land,” regardless of state laws “to the contrary”) because he knew that state legislatures, even more than the national legislature of an “extensive” republic, were susceptible to capture by self-seeking factions. Today, factions enrich themselves through occupational licensure laws unrelated to public safety. Such laws are growth-inhibiting and job-limiting, injuring the economy while corrupting politics. They are residues of the mercantilist mentality, which was a residue of the feudal guild system, which was crony capitalism before there was capitalism. Then as now, commercial interests collaborated with governments that protected them against competition. The North Carolina case is an opportunity for the court to affirm an economic right — the right to earn a living — that is among what the 14th Amendment calls the “privileges or immunities” of national citizenship. Courts have abandoned the defense of these rights, and conservatives have encouraged this abandonment by careless, undiscriminating rhetoric denouncing “judicial activism.” Tuesday’s oral arguments might indicate whether the court will at last resume a properly active engagement in the defense of individual liberty against abridgments by governments that connive with rent-seeking factions.

Teen airlifted after being struck during explosion A 15-year-old Lynchburg teen was airlifted to Columbia after being injured in an explosion Saturday afternoon. According to fire officials, the victim was using gunpowder to make an undetermined object about 4:30 p.m., sparking an explosion in an outhouse at 10565 Douglas Swamp Road. The teen was struck by an unidentified object which was thrown by the blast. Crews from Shiloh Fire Station No. 18 responded to the scene, as did EMS and Sumter County deputies. Fire officials said the teen suffered a wound to the abdomen about a half inch in diameter. A LifeNet medevac responded and airlifted the victim to Palmetto Health Richland.

Thousands in St. Louis protest shootings ST. LOUIS (AP) — Thousands gathered Saturday for a second day of organized rallies and marches protesting Michael Brown’s death and other fatal police shootings in the St. Louis area and elsewhere. Marchers started assembling in the morning hours in downtown St. Louis, where later in the day the Cardinals were set to host the San Francisco Giants in the first game of the National League Championship Series. Spurred by a national campaign dubbed Ferguson October, a diverse crowd joined forces. Vietnam-era peace activists, New York City seminarians and hundreds of fast-food workers bused in from Chicago, Nashville and other cities marched alongside local residents. Four days of events are planned. They started Friday afternoon with a march outside the St. Louis County prosecutor’s office in Clayton. Protesters renewed calls for prosecutor Bob McCulloch to charge

A grand jury is reviewing the case, and the Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation. “We still are knee deep in this situation,” said Kareem Jackson, a St. Louis

rap artist and community organizer whose stage name is Tef Poe. “We have not packed up our bags, we have not gone home. This is not a fly-by-night moment. This is not a made-for-TV revolution. This is real people standing up to a real problem and saying, ‘We ain’t tak-

ing it no more.’” The downtown march came hours before the Cardinals game at Busch Stadium, just blocks from the protest route. St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said the city had enlisted extra officers and was prepared for trouble, though he hoped for the best. Earlier in the week, a small group of protesters verbally clashed with Cardinals fans who support the Ferguson officer outside the stadium. “What I ask is if people come to have their message heard, that they do it in a respectful way,” Dotson said. “And the same thing on the other side (from police supporters). Everybody has a right to have their message heard, whether you like it or not.” He said the city also will bolster its police presence when the St. Louis Rams host the San Francisco 49ers in a nationally televised game Monday night — the same day protesters are planning organized acts of civil disobedience.

USC uses bye week to ‘lick wounds’ BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press

his team’s third straight win. “Seeing a group of guys play like a family and have each other’s back.” The victory came when freshman phenom quarterback Deshaun Watson broke his hand after hitting a helmet and had to come out in the second quarter. Tigers offensive coordinator Chad

COLUMBIA — South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier said his team will “lick our wounds’’ and work to improve during a bye week after two disappointing collapses have the one-time Southeastern Conference East favorites all but out of the title chase. The Gamecocks (3-3, 2-3 SPURRIER SEC) held double-digit leads in the fourth quarters of their past two games, yet lost to division rivals Missouri (21-20) and Kentucky (45-38). The defeats knocked South Carolina out of the Top 25 for the first time since the start of 2010. “It’s been a struggle for me, I can assure you of that,’’ Spurrier said on his call-in show Wednesday night. The off week gives Spurrier and his coaching staff the chance to identify and correct mistakes before returning to the field against FCS opponent Furman next Saturday. The Gamecocks’ head coach told fans this week he’s embarrassed by the team’s showing. “We’ll sort of lick our wounds and hopefully play better the last half of the season,’’ Spurrier said. “Hopefully, we’ll play a little bit better and come out with a good season. South Carolina had come off three consecutive 11-2 seasons — the Gamecocks had only one 10-win season over its first 117 years of football — finished a program-best No. 4 in last year’s final rankings and expected even more entering this fall.

Clemson’s Adam Humphries (13) runs past Louisville’s John Miller (10) to score on a 62-yard punt return during the Tigers’ 23-17 victory on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Clemson.

With starting QB Watson down early due to injury, Clemson relies on special teams and goal-line stand by defense to top Louisville 23-17 BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press CLEMSON — Clemson’s got much more than just a stellar offense — and proved that against Louisville on Saturday. The Tigers (4-2, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) came into this one leading the ACC in total yards and points per game, yet defeated the Cardi-

nals 23-17 without scoring an offensive touchdown. “That’s crazy,” said Clemson receiver Adam Humphries, who started things off with a 72-yard punt return TD, the Tigers first such score in five years. Defensive tackle Grady Jarrett ran 2 yards after recovering a fumble for another score and Ammon Lakip made three field goals, in-

cluding the go-ahead kick from 40 yards that bounced off the goalpost and fell in. And Clemson’s defense made the biggest plays when it counted most, defensive tackle DeShawn Williams knocking away Will Gardner’s pass on fourth-and-goal with 21 seconds left. “That right there is what it’s all about,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said of

Bae opens up 4-shot lead at Frys.com Open

Carolina might have to rely on Darrin Reaves (36) at running back again this week with three other backs still ailing. The Panthers travel to Cincinnati today to take on the Bengals.

Bengals try to extend home winning streak vs. Panthers BY JOE KAY The Associated Press CINCINNATI — The Bengals had just lost their distinction as the NFL’s last unbeaten team. They’d been soundly beaten in New England 43-17 in a Sunday night game — yet another wasted chance to win over the skeptics on a big stage. And head coach Marvin Lewis had a message. “Like coach Marvin said after the game: Great football teams don’t lose back to back,’’ running back Jeremy Hill said. “We know that going into it. If we want to consider ourselves one of the better teams in this league, we know we can’t lose back to back. So we’re going to have to go out there and play our butts off and get this thing going back in the way we want it to go.’’ The Bengals (3-1) will have more than enough motivation on Sunday in a matchup of division leaders. The defending AFC North champions host NFC South leader Carolina (3-2) with the spotlight on how the offenses fare with reserves playing a big role. The Panthers beat Chicago 31-24 even though running backs DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart and Mike Tolbert were sidelined. Darrin Reaves and Chris Ogbonnaya, who weren’t on Carolina’s roster at the start of the season, managed 59 yards and a touchdown. Williams (sprained ankle) and Stewart (sprained knee) weren’t expected back, so it’ll

be up to the reserves to run it again and take some of the pressure off Cam Newton. The Bengals had trouble with New England’s up-tempo offense, so it might be a good time for the Panthers to go to the no-huddle approach. They’ve used the no-huddle on at least one play during seven drives this season and wound up scoring touchdowns on six of them, according to STATS. “The no-huddle package has been good to us,’’ Newton said. “We’ve just got to find a way to sustain drives.’’ The Bengals have won 11 straight regular-season games at home, a franchise record. Their last home loss was in the playoffs to San Diego last season.

UNLEASHING NEWTON Newton ran out of the read option more last week, but hasn’t carried the ball as much because of offseason ankle surgery and broken ribs during the preseason. Head coach Ron Rivera says he’ll “unleash’’ Newton when the time is right. He’s getting closer.

CORNERBACK CONCERNS Carolina’s injuries have also stretched to its defensive backfield, where it’ll be without starting cornerback Josh Norman (concussion) and nickel back Bene Benwikere (sprained ankle). Melvin White, who was benched the previous week after giving up two touchdown passes, will start for Norman while veteran Charles Godfrey will play nickel back.

NAPA, Calif. — Bae SangMoon needed only three holes at the end of his round Saturday to stretch his lead to four shots in the Frys.com Open. Bae was on the verge of a sloppy bogey on the par 5-16th BAE hole at Silverado when he holed a 15-foot par putt from the fringe. He then drove the par-4 17th green and made a 6-foot eagle putt and made a 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole for a 7-under 65. Just like that, he was at 16-under 200 and in control of the season opener on the PGA Tour. PGA Tour rookie Zach Blair had a 69 and was at 12under 204. Matt Kuchar shot 31 on the back nine for a 66 and was five shots behind,

With the score tied at 4 in the ninth, Omar Infante beat out an infield roller off Darren O’Day, the losing pitching for the second straight day. Zach Britton entered, and Moustakas laid down a bunt that moved pinch-runner Terrance Gore to second. Alcides then sliced an opposite-field grounder inside first base to bring home Gore.

Citadel edges 49ers 63-56 in double OT

Bulldogs grab top spot in West

CHARLESTON — Aaron Miller rushed for 198 yards and a touchdown as The Citadel defeated Charlotte 63-56 in double-overtime. While the Citadel (2-4, 0-1 Southern) gained 689 yards of total offense, the most in school history, it was a goal line stand in double overtime that gave the Bulldogs the win MILLER over Charlotte (34). Both teams combined for 1,368 total yards. Citadel led by seven with 1:49 remaining in the game, until Charlotte quarterback Matt Johnson connected with Austin Duke for a 71-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 49, forcing the ensuing overtime. Duke accounted for four total touchdowns on 284 total yards and Johnson threw for 358 yards and four touchdowns without a turnover. Attributed to four different players gaining over 90 yards and at least one touchdown on the ground, Citadel notched 553 total rushing yards. Backup Cam Jackson gained 118 yards on 12 carries with two scores.

QB Prescott leads Mississippi State to 38-23 win over Tigers STARKVILLE, Miss. — Dak Prescott ran for two touchdowns and threw for another, leading No. 3 Mississippi State to a 38-23 victory over No. 2 Auburn on Saturday. Mississippi State (6-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) has won nine straight games going back to last season. Auburn (5-1, 2-1), the defending SEC champion, lost for the first time since last season’s national championship game. The Bulldogs jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first nine minutes, but Auburn pulled within 28-20 in the third quarter. The Tigers couldn’t complete the comeback, though, undone by a Ricardo Louis fumble in the fourth quarter, untimely penalties and an inconsistent offense. Prescott completed 18 of 34 passes for 246 yards and also rushed for 121 yards. He threw two interceptions. Auburn’s Nick Marshall threw for 209 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while also running for 100 yards.

Quarterback Troy Mitchell scored on a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter to make it 19-7. Wofford responded with a 10yard rushing score by Cam Flowers. The Catamounts (4-2, 2-0 Southern) countered with a 12play 71-yard drive capped by Newsome’s touchdown with 4:44 remaining. Mitchell was 10 of 15 for 101 yards and Garret Brown ran for 67 yards.

USC FROM PAGE B1 South Carolina was selected as East favorites at SEC media days this summer and Spurrier didn’t shy away from those lofty goals. Problems, though, were evident from the start when top-10 South Carolina was routed by Texas A&M 52-28 in its opener. The low point was certainly the past two weeks against Missouri and Kentucky. The Gamecocks led 20-7 with seven minutes left when the Tigers rallied for two touchdowns. Last Saturday, South Carolina held a 38-24 lead with 11 minutes to go at Kentucky before the Wildcats’ scored three times to win. South Carolina’s defense yielded 122 yards on Kentucky’s first two TD drives during the rally. The gamewinner came on a tipped ball interception deep in South Carolina territory. “We need to work on some things fundamentally,’’ defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward said. “If we’re making mental mistakes, obviously, as coaches we’re doing too much. We’ve got to make it simple.’’ The Gamecocks stand at or near the bottom of most SEC defensive categories, including dead last in allowing 441 yards a game. Ward said he’ll move from the sideline to the press box when South Carolina returns to the field against FCS opponent Furman next Saturday to better see what

adjustments to make. The Gamecocks practiced tackling this week, something almost unheard of during the season under Spurrier, because of the breakdowns the last two weeks. There also will likely be changes in defensive personnel to shore up weak spots, particularly in the secondary. “It’s a revolving door at a lot of positions,’’ Ward said. Quarterback Dylan Thompson was among several upperclassmen who led a players’ meeting designed to keep the team from splintering. “We had to get our team together so we wouldn’t fall apart and get better from here,’’ receiver Pharoh Cooper said. The losing has clearly bothered Spurrier, the school’s all-time leader in coaching victories who’s earned his share of criticism for the defeats. He acknowledged the mistake of not trying a two-point conversion against Missouri that would’ve given the Gamecocks a 14-point lead instead of 13 on their final touchdown. And then there’s the late play calling. Thompson threw six incompletions in South Carolina’s final eight snaps to thwart a comeback against Missouri. Thompson was intercepted twice in the fourth quarter at Kentucky. Tailback Mike Davis, who ran for 183 yards and three TDs last week, carried just once on the Gamecocks’ final three series.

Baylor wide receiver KD Cannon (9) races past TCU cornerback Corry Omeally for a touchdown during the Bears’ 61-58 victory on Saturday in Waco, Texas.

Baylor rallies past TCU runs of 52 yards and 3 yards in the fourth to make it 38-31. But Darien Harris closed out the last chance for Purdue (3-4, 1-1 Big Ten) with a 15-yard interception return for the game-sealing score.

WACO, Texas — Chris Callahan kicked a 28-yard field goal as time expired and No. 5 Baylor wiped out a 21-point deficit in the final 11 minutes to beat No. 9 TCU 61-58 on Saturday. Bryce Petty threw six touchdown passes for the Bears (6-0, 3-0 Big 12), including a 25-yarder to Corey Coleman with 4:42 left in the fourth that tied it at 58. Petty passed for 510 yards and threw two interceptions. TCU moved to midfield and faced fourth-and-3 from the Baylor 45 with 1:17 left in the fourth. Instead of punting, the Horned Frogs elected to try to keep the ball and end it in regulation. The pass was incomplete and Baylor took over with 1:11 left.

(11) OKLAHOMA 31 TEXAS 26 DALLAS — Alex Ross had a 91-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, Zack Sanchez scored on a 43yard interception return and No. 11 Oklahoma held on for another bounce-back victory under coach Bob Stoops, beating Texas 31-26 in the Red River rivalry Saturday. Oklahoma (5-1, 2-1 Big 12) used those big returns to go ahead to stay despite only 29 total yards in the first half. Trevor Knight threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Sterling Shepard and Samaje Perine had a 13yard TD run in the final 20 minutes.

Sirk had a couple of short TD runs for the Blue Devils (5-1, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who won in Atlanta for the first time since 1994 and showed they aren’t going to give up their Coastal Division title without a fight. With a week off to prepare for the triple-option offense, Duke took advantage of three huge second-half turnovers by the Yellow Jackets (5-1, 2-1).

Morris was unsure how long Watson might be out. That means senior Cole Stoudt, who lost his job to Watson three weeks ago, was back behind center. He was dealing with a shoulder injury sustained last week against North Carolina State and did not practice much during the week. But he said he was prepared when his second chance came. Stoudt struggled against Louisville’s No. 1-ranked defense, throwing for 162 yards with an interception and getting sacked three times. “It wasn’t pretty,” he said. “But we found a way to win.” Stoudt and the offense might want to congratulate the defense and special teams for this one. Clemson held Louisville to 264 yards and collected four sacks, including the 29th career take down by defensive end Vic Beasley — moving him atop Clemson’s all-time list ahead of standouts Michael Dean Perry and the late Gaines Adams. “This shows we’re one of the better defenses in the country,” Beasley said. “We’ve been playing great since Florida State week. We’ve been putting it together ever since.” Clemson looked like it had found its offensive rhythm on its final drive, Stoudt moving the Tigers 68 yards in almost six minutes for Lakip’s final field goal from 21 yards out.

out of time outs — Gardner was forced to spike the ball on third down to stop the clock. Gardner rolled to his right on fourth down, seeking Eli Rogers in the end zone. But Williams got his hands up to knock away the pass. “We’re built for stuff like that,” Williams said. “We’ve been through so much, we were ready for that.” Stoudt snuck forward on the final snap and Clemson fans swarmed the field in celebration of a third consecutive victory. “We just didn’t make enough plays early in the game offensively to give us a chance to take a lead,” Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino said. Clemson drew 81,500 to Death Valley, all to watch fivestar freshman Watson perform as he has the previous few games when he accounted for 1,088 yards and 11 touchdowns. The air rushed from the arena, though, when Watson ran to the sidelines holding his throwing hand. Stoudt, the backup to recordsetting Tajh Boyd the previous three seasons, had started Clemson’s first three games before Watson took over early in a 23-17 overtime loss at Florida State. Stoudt was rattled by the Cardinals’ pass rush and struggled to move the team. Clemson finished the half with 70 yards and squandered its best chance at an offensive touchdown when Stoudt was stopped short on the Louisville 1 and could not get the clock stopped before the half ran out.

“It’s always like this -when someone is playing amazing, if you keep being solid they’re going to start missing it,” Zmak said of the shift in momentum. “If they give you a chance you have to take it. As soon as we broke them in the second set and their momentum went away while ours rose; we waited for our moment and used it.” His teammate agreed and said at the beginning of the match both players were waiting too much. When the second set came, they decided to play their own game. The chemistry of SanchezCanamares Rios with Zmak is one in which they feed off one another as the defending Super Bowl champion likes to stay relaxed while his partner is excited and a support system. “I play better when I’m calm, relaxed and having fun,” Zmak explained. “When I’m jumping, then I kind of stress myself so he is giving me energy and he knows I’m going to give my best.” “I’m doing it to have motivation energy,” Sanchez-Canamares Rios said. “I also know in case he’s getting down or thinking too much he knows I’m cheering for us and I’m his supportive side.” Division II men’s doubles champions Riggs and Volpicelli defeated JUCO champion Georgia Perimeter’s Celestin Nkoueleue and Sam Slade 6-4, 6-7, 6-3 to advance to their first Super Bowl appearance. Lynn’s Confalonieri, the

DII champion defeated JUCO champion Joanna Savva of Tyler 6-2, 3-6, 7-5 in a semifinal. She will face Nour Abbes of Xavier (la.) in the championship match. Abbes, who won the NAIA title, defeated DIII champion Ashnaa Rao of Johns Hopkins 6-3, 6-1. The defending Super Bowl women’s doubles duo of Fritschken and Onila will face first-timers Katie Kousman and Caroline Ward of ClaremontMudd-Scripps. Fritschken and Onila defeated Tyler Junior College’s Joanna Savva and Paige Murdock 6-0, 6-4. Kousman and Ward, the DIII champions, defeated Oklahoma Baptist’s Anastasia Baranova and Kateryna Shkot 7-5, 7-5 after falling behind 4-1 in the first set. “Yesterday in our DIII final, we were far down in the second set and ended up losing that set so we were kind of reminded of that today and wanted to turn it around to try to get back on top in the second set,” Ward said. “(We learned to) be aggressive and go for the volleys maybe we necessarily haven’t been going for. We’ve been pushing ourselves and covering each other well.” The duo said they’ve come a long way and will continue to stay with their game plan, which has served them well thus far throughout the tournament. “We need to put a lot of serves and returns in play and work our way forward and then try to finish at the net,” Kousman explained of the success of their doubles partnership.

Final rites were held Saturday afternoon with interment in the Sumter Cemetery. The crowd that gathered to honor the memory of this popular Sumter county citizen was one of the largest, if not the largest, that has ever attended a funeral in this section of the state. The rooms where the services were held were filled with several Yesteryear hundred overin Sumter flowing onto the spacious SAMMY WAY grounds in front of the home. • Announcement was made today by Fulton B.

DEBUTANTE DEADLINE

Personal responsibility is strong weapon in battle against the disease of addiction DEAR ABBY — I had my last cigarette and drink of alcohol 50 years ago. Back then, excessive drinkDear Abby ing, smoking, overeating or ABIGAIL nail-biting VAN BUREN were signs of weak will, sinfulness, bad upbringing and who knows what else. Fortunately, over the years the pendulum swung, making it possible for literally millions of people to get into recovery for what we now know is a disease ADDICTION. Unfortunately, the pendulum is now swinging back again. Now EVERYONE has a “disease” over which they have no control. Therefore, they have an excuse to drink too much, overeat, eat sugar while taking their insulin — the list goes on and on. Sadly, this business of taking no responsibility for one’s own health and —

worse yet — often blaming someone or something else for the problem, takes away from those who are taking responsibility for themselves. Getting by with a third DUI, or verbally abusing your spouse, being excused for being late to work for the fourth time because of one’s “disease” all contribute to the continuation of the stigma which many of us have been fighting for so long. Addiction IS a disease, and there are many avenues of recovery: mental, spiritual, medical, intellectual and philosophical. What they all have in common is they require a commitment to getting well and, more importantly, a determination to recover. It is true that there are people with serious maladies that cannot be controlled by any means. My heart goes out to them. Fortunately, they are few and far between and the medical profession is working hard to find answers for them. Abby, I want to reinforce

your dedication to promoting personal responsibility. It is desperately needed! Roberta Meyer, former president, National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependence, California DEAR ROBERTA — Your letter contains many important truths, and thank you for taking the time to write. As I have said in columns past, the first step in solving a problem is admitting there is one and deciding to do something about it. The same is true for addiction. That’s why 12-step programs are so effective. In these programs, people gain emotional support from others who are traveling the same path to recovery. DEAR ABBY — My husband and I are in our 70s and have been married five years. I don’t understand his telling me that the reason we don’t have sex is because I always have too many clothes on. He says it’s too much trouble. I wear normal clothing,

and I undress for the occasion. What am I not understanding about his thoughts on this subject? Confused in the Midwest DEAR CONFUSED — I suspect your husband may not be giving you a straight answer because he’s embarrassed. When a man says sex is “too much trouble,” it’s usually because he’s having trouble performing. The problem may be his sex drive has diminished or it could be physical. But it won’t be resolved unless he’s willing to have a frank conversation about it with his doctor. For your sake, urge him to do it. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. Good advice for everyone — teens to seniors — is in “The Anger in All of Us and How to Deal With It.” To order, send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to Dear Abby, Anger Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Shipping and handling are included in the price.)

Poindexter, who served as director of the Sumter County Museum from 1986 to 1989, recently opened Green Thursday Books Inc. at 208 Broad St. He says his love for collecting weighed heavily in his decision to open the store. “I’ve always been a horse trader,” he said. “It started when I was a kid in school with baseball cards. I don’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t collect something, whether it was baseball cards, stamps, coins or whatever. I opened the shop for two reasons. I wanted to fill a void, and I wanted to be able to buy books. It’s one thing to sell books, but I also want to buy them.” Reach Item Archivist Sammy Way at waysammy@yahoo.com.

Kolb to speak at Genealogical Society meeting FROM STAFF REPORTS Wade Stackhouse Kolb III will be the featured speaker for the Monday, Oct. 20 meeting of the Sumter County Genealogical Society. A practicing attorney in Greenville and graduate of Duke University School of Law, Kolb’s undergraduate degree in history and KOLB religious studies was received from the South Carolina Honors College at the University of South Carolina. His 7:30 p.m. presentation will focus on Dr. Uzal Johnson, a Loyalist surgeon who served in S.C. from 1780-81.

With Dr. Robert M. Weir, Kolb co-edited Johnson’s Revolutionary War journal. It was published in 2011 as “Captured at Kings Mountain” by the University of South Carolina Press. Johnson served with the American Volunteers, a Loyalist unit under the command of Col. Patrick Ferguson and was present for the siege and surrender of Charleston. He traveled the S.C. backcountry and was eventually captured in 1780, following the Battle of Kings Mountain. He was marched with other prisoners of war to Hillsboro, N.C., until he was released and returned to Charleston. Kolb noted that Johnson “was a keen observer of both

the landscape through which he was traveling and the people he encountered. In addition to chronicling military engagements, Johnson’s journal reveals much about the interaction of the Loyalist units with local residents, the condition of the Carolina backcountry during the Revolution and the state of medical care and treatment.” Following the war, Johnson

remained in the U.S., where he had a successful medical practice in New Jersey, his native state. Kolb will talk about Johnson’s decision to stay in America, his compassion and kindness, including his medical treatment of Patriot soldiers at Kings Mountain, and more. Those intrigued by S.C. history, the American Revolution and/or the history of medicine should find Kolb’s presentation of particular interest. Born in Sumter in 1978, Kolb is the son of Wade S. Kolb Jr. and Dotty Skardon Kolb. In addition to USC and Duke, he studied at Oxford University. Kolb has been admitted to the South Carolina and North Carolina bars and

the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. From 2001 to 2007, he taught at Wilson Hall, receiving the Middle School Teacher of the Year award and the Harvin Family Teacher Initiative Award. He lives in Greenville, where he is a commercial litigator with Wyche, PA. The Sumter County Genealogical Society meets at 7:30 p.m. on the third Monday of each month, September through May, at Swan Lake Presbyterian Church, 912 Haynsworth St. Visitors are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Sumter School District TEACHER HONORED Cindy Hawkins Vickers, a third-grade teacher at Willow Drive Elementary School, was chosen as Miller Communication’s Star Teacher for the month of October. Vickers has been employed at Willow Drive since 2005, which is when she began her career in education. Vickers was nominated by her students for the honor. Miller Communication began this program last year.

Business sponsors for the program are Baker’s Sweets, Brown’s Furniture and Bedding, Creative Cookery, Staple’s and the Sumter Opera House. On the first Thursday of each month, the Star teacher and Superintendent J. Frank Baker are guests on the Good Morning Sumter Show. The show is aired on 105.9FM and is hosted by Derek Burress. During the radio interview, Vickers talked about her love for children. She said when her children were young, she was a stay at home mom. When they started school, she began volunteering and became very active at the school they attended. With the encouragement of her father, she decided to go back and pursue her education degree. She credits her family for all its support. “My father and stepmother, who is a former teacher, were there all the way through the process. When I would get down, they would build me up and encourage me to keep going.” When asked how she felt about being nominated by her students, she said, “I feel very honored. I love seeing their faces when they learn something new. It means a lot for them to nominate me.” Sumter School District and the Star Teachers appreciate the support of Miller Communication and the businesses that are a part of this monthly program. Dr. Baker said, “The district is committed to community service and to being an integral part of Sumter. We are partnered with so many businesses and charities, and we appreciate those that support us.”

LEARNING TO WRITE STORIES As the school year progresses, students at all age levels face new challenges with a mixture of worry and excitement. Second-grade students learned how to write their first stories. Jennifer Lundy, the school’s fine arts director, set out five basic band instruments for the second-grade students to look at on their inschool “field trip,” and secondgrade teacher Amanda Kish demonstrated some of the percussion instruments for them. When they returned to their classroom, they discussed their experience and then wrote it in the form of an adventure story. Several students found the challenge daunting but have risen to the occasion. — Miriam Marritt

Wilson Hall FUND RAISER The school raised $1,964 for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The student council raised money through the Give Green for Leukemia campaign and members of the Key Club solicited donations during the Green Out Lymphoma at the varsity football game on Sept. 26.

FACULTY ADVISOR PROGRAM Coordinated by Elizabeth Hyatt, school counselor, the faculty advisor program is for students in grades six through 12 with the purpose of building out-of-classroom relationships between students and faculty. Students are placed into small groups with their classmates and are assigned to a faculty advisor who meets with them during a specially scheduled time in the school day at least once a month. High school advisors have the same group of students for four years and middle school advisors have their groups for three years.

PANORAMA

THE SUMTER ITEM

Mystery plant’s a perennial that blooms in fall BY JOHN NELSON Curator, USC Herbarium Such a friendly plant, and so easy to please! But once you’ve got it in your backyard it may never want to leave. This is one of those plants from far away, an introduced species that has actually been popular in Southeastern gardens for a good while now. It is a native of southern Asia, mostly India and China. If you start looking into it, you’ll discover that many of our favorite garden plants, in fact, most of them, have their original homes somewhere else. Various introduced species in American gardens stretch back well into the colonial period; consider “Cherokee” rose (from China, which doesn’t have anything to do with the Cherokee Indian tribe), or Chinaberry (from India). Both were introduced for gardens well before the Revolutionary War. Of course, there are more recent introductions, too: Ginkgo and Dawn redwood are much more recent introductions, and both are very popular trees. Many introduced plant species tend to go a bit crazy once they reach their new homes (Japanese honeysuckle is surely the best example of such a detestable weed), but certainly not all of them. Our Mystery Plant this week is one of those species that does have the potential to get out of control, depending on where it is planted. Botanists have traditionally placed this species in the verbena family, although recent research suggests that it is better considered a member of the mint family. It’s a perennial herb with smooth stems and dark green, opposite leaves, stalked, and shaped like valentines — valentines with teeth on the edges. The leaves are sort of stinky when crushed up, smelling a bit like bad pea-

nut butter. This plant blooms in the late summer or fall, and can put on quite a show. Dozens of small tubular flowers will be crowded into a head. In bud, the corollas are a reddish magenta, and when completely open, a bright pink. The corolla has five prominent lobes at the end, and the stamens stick way out at the top. In flower, the plants put on a quite a spectacle, and can be encouraged to bloom more by frequent dead-heading. The flowers are quite fragrant, too, sometimes filling the air on a still day with a fresh, spicy perfume. Big, blooming plants attract plenty of hummingbirds and butterflies, too. This species is not tolerant of frost, and everything above ground will die during that first really cold night. The plants will come back, though: They have plenty of living roots and runners down below. If you have any interest in growing this plant, be aware that it can spread, especially in warmer areas, becoming a beautiful pest. In fact, plenty of gardeners out there who planted it in their yards wish they never had, because it can be hard to control. I’m not much of a gardener, but I would think that if you really want this thing in your yard, you should put it in a big, sturdy flower pot. And keep it there! Answer: “Glory bower,” “Kashmir bouquet,” Clerodendrum bungei John Nelson is the curator of the A.C. Moore Herbarium at the University of South Carolina, in the Department of Biological Sciences, Columbia SC 29208. As a public service, the Herbarium offers free plant identifications.

ARTS, FROM PAGE C1 varied program of music at Patriot Hall starting at 5 p.m.. Trumpet player Emmett Anglin said the selections “go as far back as the Civil War, and we’ll play some adaptations of Big Band” tunes and some classical, “a little of everything.” The quintet will be made up of tuba, three trombones, flugelhorn and/or alto trumpet. Following the Brass, another ensemble from the SCCB, comprising woodwinds, will perform, also on the Patriot Hall stage. At 7 p.m., the Power Company Collaborative will present “Seed,” a site-specific installation dance choreographed by Erin Bailey. The company is associated with Columbia College, well known for its dance department and performance groups. At dusk, Fall for the Arts will feature Lickety Split, a visual presentation by New York artist Jen Pepper, who has created a piece that will be projected onto the front of Patriot Hall. Sunday is dedicated to jazz. Beginning at 2 p.m. pianist William Gerald will play

music by Duke Ellington, one of his favorite composers. “I’ll be playing several selections from his Sacred Art series, including ‘Come Sunday,’ which many people might be familiar with,” Gerald said, “as well as some of his better known works, some from the ‘American Songbook.’ Ellington was very unique for his time; he had such character and taste. I plan to give a little of his composing history.” Gerald will be followed at 3 by saxophonist Sean Hackett and pianist Kay Rasmussen playing several jazz selections. “All of the events and activities are free and open to the public,” Bryan said. “We couldn’t do it without community support and our sponsors, both the city and county of Sumter, the Sumter County Gallery of Art, the Sumter Little Theatre, SAFE Federal Credit Union, the Glasscock Company and the Dr. Arthenia Jackson Bates Millican Foundation. “Arts can only survive as long we support them, and we are fortunate to have support from those who recognize the importance of the arts to the prosperity and growth of our community.”

Sumter Lighting and Home on West Wesmark Boulevard features blacked-out ceilings high enough to hang most of its fixtures, providing a grand display for customers first entering the business at its new location.

A new light shines on Wesmark Sumter Lighting and Home opens at new Wesmark location BY JOE KEPLER joe@theitem.com

warm glow welcomed visitors to Sumter Lighting and Home on Oct. 2, as the ceremonial red-ribbon cutting that morning started a new chapter in a local business that has been in Sumter for decades. The store moved into the former McKenzie Paint & Decorating building at 135 W. Wesmark Blvd., and an investment of $500,000 has transformed the building to the amazement of customers and even its owner. “I love it. I really think it has a presence on this street,” said Stephen Arscott, who has owned the business since 2006. “I don’t believe in coincidences, and I never have. I think everything happens for a reason, and the good Lord put the right people in the right place to make all this fall into place. We could not be more excited about being in this spot. I think it was where we were meant to be.” A former banker, Arscott purchased the business, when it was then known as Sumter Light House, from Andy and Mary Jean Dowling. The company was first known as Electrical Wholesalers in the mid-1970s before becoming Sumter Light House at the end of the decade. It thrived through wholesale and

working with area contractors. Arscott was a customer of Andy Dowling, who saw the chance to buy the business as an exciting new venture. “I thought this would be one of those things that would be great for me because it’s left-brain and rightbrain,” Arscott said. “You can be creative but also get to manage a business.” The economic downturn in the late 2000s led the store to lean more on retail support rather than the heavy reliance on wholesale and contract work

that originally supported it. The Sumter Light House, 56 Market St., was great for the contractor side of the business, but Arscott wanted a place to “serve the public better.” That shift in focus, coupled with the increasing lack of exposure on Market Street, made it clear that a change of scenery was needed. “We have a very loyal customer base that has been shopping at the Sumter Light House for many years, but there’s a whole segment of Sumter that no matter what you did, they

didn’t know you were there,” Arscott said. “Location was key, and Wesmark is a major artery in Sumter. It was perfect when this building came open.” Before closing in early spring, Arscott called up a friend to take a look at the condition of their new building. His friend, Bucky Monroe of Monroe Architecture LLC, designed the new look, and Arscott was eager to get construction underway. The construction, done by JJ Hardee Construction and Design, began June 1 and finished Sept. 8. The building was almost completely gutted, and the ceilings were torn up, leaving a high clearance that was perfect for descending his products to create a lighting wonderland. “This building shows products so well. It lets the product be the star, which is what we want,” Arscott said. “Lighting has really come a long way in the last 20 years,” he explained. “We like to say if you don’t put lighting in your home, it’s like getting dressed up without putting on a beautiful necklace. You have to accessorize your home, and there are so many choices now. We have lighting that look like pieces of art. Not only are they functional, but they are, in many cases, what makes a room. “We’re getting wows from everybody that’s coming in. We’re getting a wonderful response,” he said. And he could barely finish his sentence before another impressed customer entered the showroom and let out a vocal “Wow!” “There’s another customer giving us a ‘wow,’” Arscott said with a smile.

Obama wants an election about the economy, not him SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — President Obama is all in with his economic pitch. The American public is not. In a midterm campaign strategy fraught with risk, the White House is betting that Obama’s tight embrace of the economic recovery and populist proposals for gender pay equity and a higher minimum wage will galvanize his core supporters and persuade fence-sitting independents to help Democrats retain narrow control of the Senate in November. Addressing young entrepreneurs Thursday at a startup center in California, Obama highlighted his economic record for the third time in eight days. “A lot of you entered into the workforce during the

worst financial crisis and then the worst recession since the Great Depression,” he told the gathering of mostly millennials, those born after 1980. “You are coming out of this recession with the best educated, most diverse, most digitally fluent generation in American history.” While noting that he’s not on the ballot in this election, Obama has become fond of saying that his policies are at stake. The line has prompted a reflexive flinch from Democrats who are trying to fend off a concerted Republican campaign to link Democratic opponents to the president. For Democrats, the problem is not Obama’s message; it’s the pitchman. “The messenger is not the most popu-

lar guy on the planet right now,” said Democratic pollster Mark Mellman. Public opinion polls show substantial support for Obama’s proposals to raise the minimum wage, seek pay equity for women and close corporate tax loopholes. But on the economic issues he’s most associated with — the fitful recovery from the Great Recession and his health care law — the American public is not with him. A September AP-GfK poll found 40 percent approve and 58 percent disapprove of his handling of the economy and that 41 percent approve and 58 percent disapprove of his handling of health care. Overall, Obama’s national approval ratings are 44 percent, compared to 51 percent who disap-

prove, according to the latest numbers from Gallup. That said, Obama does have an economic story to tell. Unemployment has dropped from a high of 10 percent in 2009 to 5.9 percent last month. The economy grew last quarter at a better clip than many expected. The stock market has rallied to record highs. He inherited a federal deficit of more than a trillion dollars; the deficit has been cut by more than half to $486 billion. But, to the frustration of the White House, that message hasn’t gained much traction against a headwind of nearly stagnant wage growth. “An awful lot of Americans, they read in the paper that the economy is growing,

but they haven’t seen their own paychecks advance, they haven’t seen their old opportunities grow, and they haven’t seen their own children get good job offers,” GOP pollster Whit Ayres said. Ayres recently conducted a joint poll with Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg for NPR and discovered that in states with closely contested Senate races, both Republicans and Democratic voters were equally energized. “It’s all about the independents in those states,” he said. “The independents are going to be moved more than anything else by the reality of the economy they feel in their daily lives. At least at this point, far too few have felt a significant recovery.”

THE SUMTER ITEM

The deer will come my way — eventually I

t seems that a week can make a lot of difference. You may recall that in last week’s offering, I admitted to being a bit confused as to where all the deer had gone. Nothing on the trail cameras, nothing in person; zilch, nada. I’ve given it a lot of Earle thought and Woodward have come to AFIELD & no concluAFLOAT sion; but then again, maybe I don’t have to. You see, I have decided that no matter what the cameras say I know there are deer in the general area and know that, eventually, they will find their way to a place near me. I have to be there when they arrive. I had hunted my small plot of land on Monday and had seen absolutely nothing, not a

bird, not a squirrel and certainly not a deer. The wind was perfect, but the woods were completely dead. I quit about the time it got too dark to make out whether there were antlers or not and climbed out of the tree. Before I left, I installed a trail camera overlooking the path that the deer like to take and then went home. Instead of hunting the same spot the next day, I slipped down to the bigger property and entered the ground blind for an afternoon of relaxation and togetherness with nature. After all, I had a trail camera overlooking my little clover patch and nothing had been showing up at any hour of the day or night. I know it may sound silly to be sitting in a blind overlooking a plot that you don’t expect to see deer in, but over the years it has been the best producing spot on the property and you just never know when it’s going to bust loose. Besides, the small plot needed a rest.

The woods were a total reversal from the day before; birds and squirrels running everywhere, and I don’t believe I have ever seen so many cardinals in one spot in my life. There was something in the clover that they liked a lot! With all this activity, surely there must be a deer moving around somewhere and he may just be headed in my direction! Oh well, as luck would have it, nothing showed up again that afternoon, so when I slipped out of the ground blind, I walked over to the trail camera, removed the SD card and left for the house. I got to the house, ate a little supper, watched a bit of TV and them remembered the SD card. I might as well have a look; it couldn’t be much worse than the week before. I figured it would be a very short time in front of the computer. The first seven to eight pictures I scrolled through were all of turkeys feeding in the

clover, probably somewhere around 14-15 of them at one time, and then it happened. Bam!! It was like he was looking right at me; I’m talking 8 points, outside the ears and tall tines worth of looking at me. Of course, he was looking directly into a camera, but it still had the effect of looking at my soul. The pictures started at 8:30 in the evening and went on for about 30 minutes. I got several angles and some pretty good looks at the old boy. He was a full-grown man. I had been watching a buck for some four or five years that was equally impressive, but I haven’t seen him yet this year. He was still kicking after the season ended last year, but he was old and who knows what has happened since then. At first glance, I thought this was him, but upon closer inspection, the new deer’s tines are just a bit shorter and I don’t believe he is nearly as

Facility processes alligator for hunters RAVENEL (AP) — If nonhunters harbor any stereotypes of the South Carolinians who yearly apply for a tag to stalk alligators, Mandy Kimmons blows them away. When the 29-year-old attorney showed up at Cordray’s processing facility with the 79-pound alligator she’d killed earlier that morning, she was wearing a powder pink T-shirt and a shy expression. “I went with my mom and dad and killed a gator,” Kimmons said tentatively. “I just shot it with a crossbow.” Owner Michael Cordray, overhearing Kimmons’ account as he walked toward the room where the defeated alligator was being systematically broken down into sausage meat and nuggets, paused to mock scold her. “Don’t say ‘just,’” he counseled. “You’ve got to be dramatic.” But even without emphasizing the moonlit hours spent tugging a thrashing alligator toward her skiff, it was clear that Kimmons had taken part in one of the more intense human-animal duels sanctioned by the state. As Kimmons puts it, “It’s way more fun than deer hunting.” The prospect of experiencing the primitive thrill that comes with dispatching a creature that Cordray’s staffer Reid Lawson describes as “part dinosaur” annually inspires upward of 5,000 people across the country to enter the Department of Natural Resources’ lottery drawing. While fewer than half of the 1,000 tag recipients typically manage to land an alligator, the sixyear-old program has been an overwhelming success for Cordray’s, the only operation in the state offering the one-two combo of alligator processing and taxidermy. Patrick Raley lives in Greenville, but he brings his alligators to Cordray’s in Ravenel. The human resources director carries a slim wallet made from the skin of a previous catch. Last month,

Kenneth Cordray, left, and Reid Lawson process Mandy Kimmons’ alligator at Cordray’s in Ravenel. This year’s public alligator season started on Sept. 13 and ended on Saturday. The hunt is strictly regulated, with tags divided among four regions that extend from the coast to Richland County. after pulling his first all-nighter since college in order to help his son make good on his tag, he placed a bigger order. “They’re going to make a rug for me,” he said. This year’s public alligator season started on the second Saturday in September and ended Oct. 11 at noon. The hunt is strictly regulated, with tags divided among four regions that extend from the coast to Richland County. Lawson says he can tell whether an alligator has spent its life fighting river currents or feasting on freshwater critters. “A lot of the coastal gators, they’re kind of small,” he adds. Hunters are prohibited from using set hooks, bait, rifles and shotguns. According to SCDNR’s website, the problem with shooting alligators is they tend to submerge after taking a bullet, leading hunters to believe they’ve missed. “The hunter may continue to hunt and unknowingly kill additional alligators before being able to retrieve one,” the website explains. “This activity would be unacceptable, as this is not an alligator eradication program.” Yet the program is still controversial. Detractors aren’t comfortable with the idea of people snag-hooking resting reptiles and

reeling them in for a fatal handgun shot or hatchet wallop to the cervical spine. Not surprisingly, most alligators seem to share their concerns. “The fun is when you get them close to the boat and they don’t want to be there,” says Raley, who hunts with an experienced guide. “We had one hit the boat because he thought we were something to eat. Another one got us cornered. But we’ve got a pretty good-sized boat.” Although alligators are considerably fiercer than the deer and ducks also being brought to Cordray’s this time of year, SCDNR spokesman Brett Witt says there haven’t been any injuries reported by tag holders. The biggest risk for hunters is disappointment, although the luckiest among them return with enough meat to fill a few chest coolers. “A lot of the sausage we cook up for chili for tailgating,” Raley says. “The tail meat’s the best. My wife, she likes making casserole with it.” Lawson, who can break down an average-size alligator in about an hour, likes the tail meat too. “It’s going to be a little more tender,” he says. But he’s especially fond of the coveted jowl, which shrouds the succulence associated with fish and pig cheeks.

DNR sponsors family fishing clinics Family Fishing Clinics, an introductory class to fishing sponsored by the S.C. Department of Natural Resources Aquatic Education Section will be held at state parks around the Midlands over the next two months. The clinics are designed to introduce the basics of fishing to the young and old or those who need a refresher to increase their future participation in the sport. Skills that will be taught are how to tie a fishing knot, rig a rod and reel and casting. The clinics are free of charge. The first of the seven clinics

will be held today at Sesquicentennial State Park in Columbia from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Two of the clinics will be held at Sumter County’s Poinsett State Park between Wedgefield and Pinewood. The first clinic will be held on Nov. 1 from 9 a.m. to noon with the second set for Nov. 15, also from 9 a.m. to noon. Those interested can register online at www.dnr.sc.gov/aquaticed/fishingclinic/. For more information, contact Lorianne Riggin at aquaticed@ dnr.sc.gov or at (803) 737-8483.

old. That means there are possibly two of them out there that look like this! Yes, the pictures were taken at night, as were the pictures of the big 6-point that showed up around midnight and the 5-point and spike that came in around 3 a.m. Does were in and out all night long. There was one picture of a deer during daylight hours, a fawn who comes out between 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. daily. Hey, that’s OK; the rut is just around the corner and the bucks will be chasing the does all over the neighborhood, day and night. So if they are there all night long now, then I figure they’ll show up at some point during the day. From one week to the next we’ve gone from famine to feast, it’s just a matter of time before a deer makes a mistake and shows up during the day. You know what though? Even if they never make that mistake, I still like taking the pictures and dreaming about them.

FISHING REPORT Santee Cooper System Crappie: Good. Captain Steve English reports that crappie fishing has been strong around relatively shallow brush in 20 feet of water. Fish are suspended about 7-12 feet down where they will take both jigs and minnows. Most days his boat has been able to catch a limit. Lake Murray Striped bass: Good. Lake World reports that striper are starting to school from Bomb Island to the dam, and reports indicate that good-sized fish are staying up long enough to cast at them. Fish are also being caught down-lining herring in 30-60 feet of water, and a few fish are being caught trolling plugs at that depth. Bream: Good. Lake World reports that shellcrackers were out in 25 feet of water only a couple of weeks ago, but they have moved shallower into 6-8 feet of water and are scattered across the lake at that depth. Nightcrawlers have been the best baits. Lake Wateree Crappie: Fair. Veteran tournament angler Will Hinson reports that crappie can be caught around deep brush piles in 18-25 feet of water. They are holding nearly flat to the bottom around the brush, but they are not necessarily right in the brush. Working jigs about 6-10 inches off the bottom has been the key. This method is not producing a lot of fish right now, but good quality fish over a pound are coming with this pattern. Largemouth Bass: Fair. FLW Angler Dearal Rodgers reports that there are still a lot of fish out deep on the ledges right now, and they can be caught on Carolina rigs and jigs. However, shad have started to make a move into the creeks - a migration which will only accelerate. Medium-running crankbaits are the best way to target the creek fish. Lake Greenwood Catfish: Fair. Captain Chris Simpson reports that the Lake Greenwood catfish bite is very inconsistent. One day the fishing will be very good, but the next day the bite will be poor. Anchoring with stinkbait is catching a few fish, as is drifting with cut herring and shrimp. 15-20 feet has been the most productive depth range, with flats the best areas to drift and humps and points the best areas to set up and anchor. Lake Monticello Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that the big fish bite is still inconsistent, but as we come into the fall it should get much more consistent. In contrast, the small fish “numbers” bite has been very good. For both big and little fish the best action has come in the 40-60 foot range. Free-line drifting is traditionally a method for targeting smaller fish, while anchoring on points and humps in the key depth range will catch both bigger and smaller fish. Lake Russell Catfish: Good. Guide Wendell

Wilson reports that strong numbers of catfish can still be caught. Anchor on main lake points and fish cut herring on the bottom in approximately 15-20 feet of water. Bass: Fair. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that there are two main patterns on Lake Russell right now. Across the lake bass can be caught on drop shot rigs fished in about 20 feet of water. This pattern is especially productive around brushpiles, but brush is not essential to locate fish. The second main pattern is to look for bass chasing shad in larger coves. Lake Thurmond Striped and Hybrid Bass: Very good. Captain William Sasser reports that striper catches are very strong on Clarks Hill right now, and right at daylight fish can be found off points and humps in about 40-45 feet of water. These fish are right on the bottom and they can be caught on downlined herring fished there. As the morning moves on fish can be found in the 40-55 foot range over 60-80 feet of water. Lake Wylie Largemouth Bass: Slow. FLW Professional and Guide Matt Arey reports that right now the bite is poor on Lake Wylie, but a transition to fall patterns will be starting very soon if it is not already underway. The traditional fall pattern is to look for bass following shad schools into the backs of creeks. Small squarebilled crankbaits and ¼ ounce Rattle Traps are both good options at this time of year, but fish will also take topwater lures such as Spooks, buzzbaits and Pop-Rs all day long once they move up shallow. Trout: Fair. Captain Steve Pietrykowski reports that trout are still very deep on Jocassee. The best depth range is now 80-100 feet of water, and both spoons and live bait will still catch fish. However, spoons and particularly Apex spoons have been working a bit better than shiners. Whether using live bait or hardware it is important to fish very slowly right now. Lake Keowee Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Fair to good. There are reports of lots of schooling on topwater, which is typical for this time of year. Use a drop shot bite in 25-35 feet of water. Fish are expected to start moving up creeks, but not a mass movement like on a lake like Hartwell. It depends on where the baitfish are moving. Lake Hartwell Catfish: Good. Captain Bill Plumley reports that channel catfish are still biting well, particularly on dip bait, although cut herring and nightcrawlers will also catch fish. Fish are spread out all over the lake in the 5-35 foot range. Flathead fishing remains strong and Captain Bill continues to pick up flatheads while striper fishing with herring. Flatheads can be caught early and late, but the best action often comes night fishing around stick-ups and brush fairly shallow in 5-10 feet of water.
